Candace Owens Meets Erika Kirk for Four Hours: Egyptian Planes, Turning Point Lies, and Charlie Kirk Assassination Investigation

Candace Owens sits down for her first interview since meeting with Erika Kirk, widow of the assassinated Charlie Kirk. The four-and-a-half-hour private meeting in Nashville came after Erika publicly told conspiracy theorists to "stop" at a CBS town hall. Owens shares what happened in that room, what lies Turning Point USA admitted to, and why she's more convinced than ever that Tyler Robinson didn't act alone. From Egyptian military planes tracking Turning Point Faith events to suspicious behavior by Charlie's chief of staff, Owens explains why she refuses to stop investigating, and why Erika didn't ask her to. This is a contentious, revealing conversation about grief, truth-seeking, and the limits of acceptable questioning in the wake of a public assassination.

The Meeting That Everyone's Talking About

Candace Owens sat down with Piers Morgan for her first interview since her extraordinary four-and-a-half-hour private meeting with Erika Kirk, the widow of assassinated political figure Charlie Kirk. The meeting came on the heels of Erika's appearance at a CBS town hall where she addressed conspiracy theorists directly, saying simply: "Stop."

The meeting took place at a hotel in Nashville, with Justin Streiff, COO of Turning Point USA, also in attendance. Owens' husband and cousin were present for portions of the conversation. What transpired in that room has become the catalyst for intense speculation about whether Owens might be reconsidering some of her theories about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

According to Owens, the invitation came from Turning Point USA after producer Blake Neff "fumbled" an initial public invite. After Erika's PR tour, Turning Point reached out again, suggesting a private one-on-one meeting rather than the originally planned live-streamed conversation moderated by Megyn Kelly.

Turning Point USA Admits to Lies

One of the most significant revelations from the meeting, according to Owens, was that Turning Point USA acknowledged they had lied to the public. "I was very refreshed that they owned up to the lies," Owens said. "That was a great first step."

Owens has been tracking what she calls inconsistencies and falsehoods coming from Turning Point USA since Charlie's death. She expressed frustration that instead of acknowledging these discrepancies, there seemed to be "a billion dollar psychological operation to convince people that Candace is just crazy."

During the meeting, they called one of the lawyers working on the case. Owens asked directly if there was evidence the public hadn't seen that would prove Tyler Robinson was the shooter. The lawyer's response was not convincing to her. "All we have is what the public has seen and we won't know more because we're investigating," the lawyer said, according to Owens. The earliest they would have access to potential video evidence would be May.

Owens pointed out that she's now uncovered that the "man of steel" story—the claim that came directly from the surgeon about Charlie's neck—was fabricated. "That never came from the surgeon's mouth," she said. "We have another lie coming out of Turning Point USA."

No Compelling Evidence Against Tyler Robinson

Despite the meeting, Owens remains unconvinced that Tyler Robinson acted alone or was even the primary shooter. "I have not seen one piece of compelling evidence that Tyler Robinson scaled the rooftops like Spider-Man on a college campus that he didn't go to and fired one shot, a magic bullet shot, and killed Charlie Kirk," she said.

Owens acknowledged that she believes Robinson was involved in some capacity—she was the one who broke the story about him being at a Dairy Queen throwing out clothes in a nearby cemetery. She also mentioned communication with both Lance's family and Tyler Robinson's family, noting that Lance's own family thinks he's guilty of more and finds it strange that the feds "glossed over him almost as though he was a Fed operative."

When pressed by Morgan about whether she now believes Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk as a result of her meeting with Erika, Owens was emphatic: "Absolutely not."

Egyptian Planes and Turning Point Faith

One of the most controversial aspects of Owens' investigation involves Egyptian Air Force planes. She maintains these planes have been tracking Turning Point Faith events, including where Erika Kirk and other Turning Point figures have been.

"There's no question there's a correlation here between Turning Point USA Faith in particular," Owens said. She mentioned she has a color-coded spreadsheet showing the connections and plans to publish the full document on her website. According to Owens, there are actually four planes involved, not just two, and these Egyptian planes are "tied to Israel" and have been "flying in and out of Israel with their transponder off for years."

When Morgan pressed her on what her theory was about why these planes would be tracking Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, Owens responded: "I don't know. My theory is that we should investigate everything strange that happened on that day so we can figure out what happened."

Mikey McCoy and the 834 Milliseconds

Owens has devoted significant attention to Michael McCoy, Charlie Kirk's chief of staff. She highlighted video footage showing that it took exactly 834 milliseconds from the time of the shot for McCoy to put a phone to his ear. "There's no dialing. Mikey didn't have time to dial. You can't dial and put your phone to an ear in 834 seconds," she said.

During the meeting with Erika, Owens was shown call logs from McCoy's phone. She shared these with her audience. While public understanding was that McCoy called Erika instantly after the shooting, Owens says the call logs showed that Blake Neff actually called first.

Owens was careful to distinguish between different levels of suspicion. She gave Erika and Justin Streiff the names of two Turning Point employees she believes warrant further investigation regarding potential prior knowledge of the assassination. However, she has not named these people publicly because she doesn't have "concrete evidence."

Regarding McCoy specifically, Owens said: "I can say is what happened on that day. Mikey's behavior is weird on that day." She also expressed deep concerns about McCoy's father, Rob McCoy, calling him a "pastor" and saying "everything about that man makes my skin crawl."

The JFK Parallel and Multiple Conspirators

Throughout the interview, Owens drew repeated parallels to the JFK assassination. She referenced a clip of Charlie Kirk from the months before his death where he discussed the JFK assassination, saying multiple countries were involved, including LBJ, the feds, and Israel.

"When there is a conspiracy, of course there are going to be multiple people involved," Owens explained. "Obviously, for this to have been pulled off, there had to have been multiple people involved. There had to have been people at Turning Point that were complicit in having this happen."

When Morgan pushed back, asking if she was accusing Turning Point employees of being complicit in murder, Owens clarified: "I believe that there are people at Turning Point who are engaged in covering up what happened on that day... They're all at different varying stages involved in the cover up. That's what a grand conspiracy actually is."

Israel's Involvement

Owens pointed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's unusual involvement immediately after the assassination as suspicious. "BB Netanyahu is just denying and just way too involved in the beginning. That was weird. Everyone felt it was weird and they were right to feel that it was weird," she said.

She noted that Netanyahu admitted he called Charlie two weeks before the assassination and invited him to Israel. Owens also suggested Israel had motive, referencing Charlie's stance that AIPAC should have to register under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act).

Owens believes this mirrors the JFK assassination, which she confidently stated was not carried out by Lee Harvey Oswald alone. "I am going to say that confidently. It's not Lee Harvey Oswald acting by himself. It's a fact. Israel killed JFK," she said, referencing JFK's conflicts with what is now AIPAC.

French Foreign Legion on the Ground

Owens also mentioned sending information to Turning Point USA about the French Foreign Legion being on the ground the day of the assassination. She said this information "has not been denied by the Elysée Palace, the White House or the Pentagon" but that "for whatever reason the feds don't want this information."

Erika Kirk Did Not Ask Her to Stop

Perhaps most significantly, despite Erika's public statement at the CBS town hall telling conspiracy theorists to "stop," Owens says Erika made no such request during their private meeting.

"She did not ask me or request for me to stop in person," Owens said. "She did not ask me to conduct myself in any way." Owens explained that Erika felt the CBS moment was more about Bari Weiss's "long running feelings" toward Owens than about genuine journalistic inquiry.

When asked if she would continue investigating, Owens was unequivocal: "Yes, until I feel confident of who killed Charlie Kirk. I will not stop investigating this."

The Alex Jones Comparison and Making Money

Morgan drew comparisons between Owens' investigation and Alex Jones' coverage of Sandy Hook, suggesting both were weaponizing tragedy for profit. Owens pushed back forcefully on this characterization.

"What is this idea that it's making me very wealthy? Can you actually explain that slowly?" Owens challenged. "I was already in a top 10 podcast globally before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And if you think that I would want my friend to be assassinated so I could go from being in the top five to being number one, you're out of your mind."

She pointed out she hasn't signed new advertisers, isn't reading more ads, hasn't signed book deals, or sold merchandise related to the investigation. "I was already sold out to the end of the year because our podcast was successful. I have not sold a t-shirt, nothing with his name on it. It's just me," she said.

The Pattern: Bridget Macron, Blake Lively, and Now Charlie Kirk

Morgan referenced the pattern of controversial investigations Owens has pursued, including her ongoing claim that French First Lady Brigitte Macron is transgender (born Jean-Michel Trogneux) and her coverage of the Blake Lively lawsuit.

Owens has a $300,000 charity bet with Morgan about the Brigitte Macron claim, which is now heading to court. "Brigitte Macron has a penis," Owens insisted during the interview, standing by her investigation despite the lawsuit.

"This is the exact same argument you guys had about Brigitte, then the same exact thought—you were lying about the Blake Lively thing," Owens said, defending her track record. "The difference between me and you is that I have the courage to take the risks and ask the questions first, before it's popular. You wait until it becomes popular and then you change your mind."

Why She Continues

Owens framed her continued investigation as a matter of principle and friendship. "I know Charlie. I knew Charlie. Charlie and I were very close," she said. "It has been one of the most disgusting things ever that people first and foremost tried to start this psychological operation that Charlie and I hadn't spoken since 2019."

She rejected the characterization that asking questions and highlighting inconsistencies puts targets on people's backs. "I'm sorry they get caught lying. Stop noticing that people at Turning Point USA are lying. How dare the public?" she said sarcastically. "If Mikey lies and Rob McCoy lies and Blake Neff lies, and yes, all of these people have lied on record after the assassination, and the public goes, 'Hey, that's kind of a weird lie,' you're like, 'How dare you put a target on their back by noticing that they're lying?'"

Owens positioned her investigation within the broader context of media manipulation and Operation Mockingbird, the CIA's Cold War program to influence media. "We have a historical example that we can look at and go, 'We're not doing that again,'" she said.

She concluded by saying she's giving the public "permission" to follow their instincts: "If you feel something is off, keep asking questions until you get concrete evidence."

The Response and the Future

The interview itself has generated intense reaction. Nick Fuentes called Owens "done" and a "let down." Tim Pool has called her "evil" and suggested she was "secretly in love with Charlie Kirk"—a claim Owens dismissed as "fed slop" and "ridiculous."

The New York Post published articles with what Owens called "amazing fanfiction," including false claims that she worked at The Daily Wire (she did but never drove herself there), threw keys at staff, and that her husband had a Qatari passport.

Despite the criticism and attacks, Owens says she will continue investigating. She's working on publishing the full documentation about the Egyptian planes, and she's already announced that her show will cover new information proving the "man of steel" story was fabricated.

"I'm very aware of what these people are trying to do and it's not working," she said. "I'm going to use every opportunity to ask every question... while it's still legal."
