Are there timestamps or archived copies of Candace Owens's statements about Erika Kirk from 2024–2025?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows multiple published accounts of Candace Owens’s statements about Erika Kirk between 2024–2025, especially a November 17–18, 2025 round of podcast and social‑media comments alleging Egyptian military flight overlaps with Erika Kirk’s travel; outlets report Owens cited “68” then “73” overlaps and denied accusing Erika of murdering Charlie Kirk [1] [2] [3]. The sources do not uniformly link to original timestamps or archived media files; they mostly summarize or quote Owens’ podcast, livestream and posts rather than provide permanent archive links [2] [4] [5].
1. What the press says exists: repeated episodes, dates and numbers
Multiple outlets report Owens laid out her theory publicly in mid‑ to late‑November 2025 — notably a November 17 podcast episode titled themes such as “Operation Mocking‑Plane” and a November 18 livestream appearance — where she described flight‑tracking overlaps (initially “68,” later “73” overlaps between 2022 and Sept 2025) and claimed one plane’s transponder was active on the morning of the September shooting [1] [2] [4].
2. Do reporters provide timestamps or archived copies?
The articles in the provided set summarize Owens’ remarks, reproduce quotes and sometimes point to the podcast or social posts, but they do not embed or link to definitive archived audio/video files or timestamped clips in the reporting excerpts available here. For example, Lawyer Monthly, IBTimes, Hindustan Times and others describe episode dates and quoted claims without attaching a permanent archive URL in the snippets we have [6] [7] [8].
3. Where the originals were reportedly published (and what that implies for finding timestamps)
Reports say Owens made the detailed presentation on her own podcast and appearances on third‑party livestreams (Myron Gaines’ podcast and her own show), and on social platform X (formerly Twitter) where she posted related material; those are primary platforms to check for timestamps or archived copies [4] [5] [7]. News summaries indicate she showed spreadsheets and flight‑data visuals on the podcast episode, which suggests video or audio footage exists — but the present reporting does not include direct archive links [2] [4].
4. Contradictions and defenses reported about her claims
Outlets note Owens both denied explicitly accusing Erika Kirk of murder and said she had not seen proof Erika lied; at the same time, other conservative figures publicly criticized or rebutted her explanations — for example, Ben Shapiro was reported to have claimed Owens accused Erika, which Owens denied and Megyn Kelly reportedly clarified [3] [9]. This demonstrates disagreement within conservative media about what Owens actually said and how it should be characterized [3] [9].
5. What the sources do not show or confirm
Available sources do not mention direct, persistent archive links (e.g., Library of Congress, Internet Archive captures, or embedded YouTube timestamps) of the exact podcast episode or livestream segments in question; they also do not provide complete transcripts in the excerpts provided here (not found in current reporting). Nor do the snippets show official law‑enforcement responses to the specific flight‑tracking allegations beyond press summaries [7] [8].
6. Practical next steps to locate timestamps or archived copies
Based on reporting, search the following primary locations for original, timestamped material: Owens’s official podcast feed and episode list around Nov 17–18, 2025; Myron Gaines’ podcast uploads (Nov 2025); Candace Owens’ posts and attached media on X around Nov 17–18, 2025; and video platforms (YouTube, Rumble, DailyWirePlus) where she or the podcast host may have uploaded the segment [4] [5] [2]. News articles report episode titles and dates which you can use to match timestamps in platform search results [4] [1].
7. Reporting biases and potential agendas to watch for
The outlets in this sample include international aggregators and entertainment‑style reporting that emphasize sensational details (numbers like “68”/“73”), and conservative trade or opinion sites that may amplify Owens’ framing; other outlets highlight denials and intra‑media disputes [2] [3] [8]. Be aware that summaries can condense or paraphrase long audio segments—finding the original episode is needed to verify exact wording and timestamps [6] [4].
8. Bottom line for your query
Yes — multiple news stories document Owens’ statements and the dates of the podcast/livestream appearances where she made them (Nov 2025), and they report specific numbers she cited (68 → 73 overlaps) as well as denials of certain allegations [1] [2] [3]. However, the provided reporting does not itself supply archival audio/video links or embedded timestamps; you will need to consult Owens’ and the podcast host’s primary uploads or web archives to obtain authoritative timestamped recordings (not found in current reporting).
