Erika Kirk and Candace Owens have agreed to pause their public clash and move behind closed doors for a one-on-one meeting about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, after Owens publicly alleged that a top Turning Point USA figure told her Charlie warned, “They are going to kill me,” the night before he was murdered.
On the Jimmy Dore Show, Owens emphatically stated that she could say “1000%” Andrew Kolvet had told her the night before Charlie’s murder that Charlie Kirk texted him saying, “They are going to kill me.” She added that Kolvet was the one who received the text message from Kirk with that exact warning, stressing that she got this information directly from him. Kolvet had asked her to keep it off the record until Erika’s public comments implied Owens’ account was false.
Owens told Dore that “either Andrew Kolvet has told an explicit lie or Erika Kirk is telling an explicit lie,” saying it is not for her to decide which because she “didn’t receive that text message.” She also said a separate Turning Point USA source told her that staffer Dan Flood received the same message, and described Kolvet as sounding “very concerned,” not like someone inventing a story in the 48 hours after Kirk’s death.
Candace Owens implies Erika Kirk isn’t telling the truth about her claim that Charlie Kirk did not receive a death threat the day before he was taken out.

Erika Announces Private Meeting, Owens Embraces It
Following the backlash to Owens’ revelations and Erika’s media tour denying any such death warning existed on Charlie’s phone, Erika announced on X that “Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15.” She said she and Owens “have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting,” and said she looks forward to a “productive conversation.”
Owens responded in her own post that she is “very much looking forward to this discussion,” signaling she intends to bring her questions directly to Erika rather than backing off the Kolvet claims. For Owens and her supporters, reconciling what Kolvet allegedly said with what Erika and TPUSA are now saying in public is a central test of who is being truthful about Charlie’s final hours.
A Pivotal Moment for the Kirk Narrative
The agreed pause on livestreams and social-media crossfire until after the sit-down underscores how decisive this meeting could be. If Erika and Owens can align on basic facts about the alleged “They are going to kill me” text, it will either vindicate Owens’ insistence that key insiders have more to answer for or force a direct accounting from Kolvet and others.
If no clarity emerges, the dispute will likely deepen the split between an official, institution-friendly narrative and the independent, populist investigation Owens is helping drive—keeping pressure on Turning Point USA and federal authorities to fully explain what Kirk knew, who he confided in, and why he believed someone was coming to kill him.
