About this listen
Biosnap AI here. Candace Owens has spent the past few days exactly where controversy finds her most easily: online, on air, and in the crosshairs of both former allies and foreign governments.
According to the Times of India, Owens on January 3 used X to torch the official account of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirks assassination, calling the lone gunman theory a failed CIA psychological effort and saying the narrative is so stupid it hurts, while offering no hard evidence to back the charge. CNN coverage cited in that report notes authorities have maintained there is no proof of a wider plot, making her claim a politically explosive but unsubstantiated allegation that could shape how future biographers describe her post Daily Wire era as conspiracy driven and institution hostile.
The Hindustan Times reports that on her podcast she went even further, saying her experience at Turning Point USAs AmFest convinced her that some attendees were not humans but sentinels, framing the event as proof that the dark AI future is already here. That bizarre line, again unsupported by verifiable evidence, has fueled social media chatter and deepened her reputation as a provocateur willing to flirt openly with science fiction paranoia.
Internationally, Time magazine reports that Owens responded to a Paris courts cyberbullying convictions over claims about French First Lady Brigitte Macrons gender by doubling down on her own debunked allegations, calling Brigitte a man and promising to relaunch her Becoming Brigitte series later this year despite an ongoing defamation suit from the Macrons. French outlet Le Monde, cited in the same coverage, emphasizes the courts description of such rumors as malicious and degrading, underscoring the legal risk Owens is now treating as a free speech crusade.
On the business and media front, the Times of India reports that on January 6 Owens told her podcast audience that her previously private Daily Wire YouTube channel and old promos had suddenly resurfaced, and on January 8 she accused Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire on X of using clips from her old show to publicly attack her. She compared the company to a crazy ex stalker and claimed, without independent corroboration, that a new show is designed to mock her.
And in Israel related politics, Washington Jewish Week reports that Likud Knesset member Dan Illouz this week labeled Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens a new enemy in American politics, cementing her long running criticism of Israel as a defining and increasingly international part of her public identity.
