Transcript: ‘I Will NOT STOP!’ – Candace Owens on Piers Morgan Uncensored

In this Piers Morgan Uncensored episode live on December 18, 2025, Piers Morgan grills Candace Owens over her sprawling conspiracy theories about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, pressing her repeatedly on what hard evidence—if any—she has for accusing people around Turning Point USA of being “complicit” in his murder. Owens insists she is “connecting the dots” of a grand cover-up and vows she will not stop investigating until she is personally satisfied she knows who killed Kirk, even as she concedes she lacks “concrete evidence” to name alleged insiders publicly.

The interview digs into her four-hour private meeting with Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, how each woman remembers that conversation, and whether Erika truly asked her to stop or quietly welcomed some of what Owens has uncovered. Along the way, Morgan challenges Owens on claims involving the U.S. military, pro-Israel operatives, Emmanuel Macron, and the FBI, raising the broader question of whether she is courageously pursuing truth or recklessly monetizing grief and suspicion.

The Controversy Surrounding Candace Owens

PIERS MORGAN: Well, no matter what your opinion is about Candace Owens, and very few people don’t seem to have one, she has a definite knack for commanding attention. Many people have been openly enraged by her theorizing on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Many have been captivated nightly by what they see as either a thrilling real-time investigation into a colossal cover-up or a cynical strategy to exploit the most emotive and consequential news story of the year.

Several of Candace’s claims are focused on Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Charlie Kirk and now run by his widow, Erika, who last week issued this firm request.

VIDEO CLIP BEGINS:

She has been one of the main peddlers of these conspiracies and she is making a huge amount of money on it. She is building her business off of these lies.

What do you want to say to her and the other people that are putting these lies out into the world right now?

Stop. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop.

VIDEO CLIP ENDS:

PIERS MORGAN: Well, shortly after that, Candace Owens was invited to a lengthy private meeting with Erika Kirk, which is now the catalyst for frenzied speculation that she may be having second thoughts about some of her theories.

She’s also, I should add, marking the release of her new book, Make Him a Sandwich. And amid all of that, she joins me now for her first interview since the meeting with Erika Kirk. Candace, welcome back to Uncensored.

CANDACE OWENS: It’s good to be with you at the end of another year.

The Private Meeting with Erika Kirk

PIERS MORGAN: Yes, and what a year it’s been. Not least for you, it’s fair to say. Your fame continues to rise. Infamy, some would put it. But you’re always a welcome guest on Uncensored.

But let’s get to this extraordinary meeting that you had with Erika Kirk. It came right after we saw her say in that CBS town hall, “You should stop,” to stop the conspiracy theories. So who approached who about you guys actually getting together?

CANDACE OWENS: I was approached by Turning Point after Blake Neff, who works on Charlie’s show, sort of fumbled this invite. It was, I’d almost say like a fake invite publicly. And then in the middle of the night said, “Oh, Candace is not able to be here tomorrow.” And they never messaged me.

And I think there was quite a bit of public backlash with how they went about it. It’s just not the way that we try to set meetings. And so what happened after was they reached out to me, said Erika would agree to do a livestream, just the two of us.

And then after Erika’s PR blitz, they reached out again and said that they felt that it was better for us to meet one-on-one, as opposed to us sitting down, having Megyn Kelly moderate, which was the idea originally.

PIERS MORGAN: Right. So where did you have your summit meeting?

CANDACE OWENS: At a hotel here in Nashville.

PIERS MORGAN: And a lot of your supporters, fans of your show, think that you may have been lured into a trap. Did anything while you were there make you think you were being lured into a trap?

CANDACE OWENS: I don’t know that a lot of my fans think that I was being lured into a trap. I think ahead of time they had some concerns, obviously, because I think in general, after you see a public assassination and you start tracking so many lies that are happening, there’s going to be an understandable amount of angst that people feel.

And I certainly felt the angst as well. I’ve obviously been very clear that I am suspicious of some of the characters that are at Turning Point USA. So I totally understand why the public was concerned.

PIERS MORGAN: When you saw Erika, she was obviously angry about you in that CBS town hall. What was her demeanor like when you met her?

CANDACE OWENS: Well, I don’t think that she thought she was angry in that. I think maybe that was the characterization from the public. I certainly thought she was angry as well. And she sort of clarified that she was a bit annoyed by the questioning, the way in which Bari had set up the question with “the podcaster Candace Owens,” which I think was definitely being driven more by Bari Weiss’s feelings towards me, long-running feelings towards me, than it was perhaps for the benefit of CBS and trying to pretend to be an impartial journalist.

So I think she was frustrated by the line of questioning is what she explained to me.

What Was Discussed in the Four-and-a-Half-Hour Meeting

PIERS MORGAN: So how would you categorize the four and a half hours? If you were looking at it in totality, what was the tone of the conversation? What do you think you both got out of it?

CANDACE OWENS: Well, for me, answers to the questions of trying to understand why there were so many Turning Point lies and why instead of people acknowledging that these are lies, I felt that there was this billion-dollar psychological operation to convince people that this is just crazy, these are lies, these are made up.

And so I was very refreshed that they owned up to the lies.
