Candace Owens vs Blake Neff: TPUSA gives Charlie Kirk livestream update amid scheduling row; ‘will be proceeding…’
Blake Neff has announced TPUSA will be moving ahead with the livestream on Charlie Kirk's death allegations without Candace Owens after a scheduling conflict.
Candace Owens will not likely be on The Charlie Kirk Show after Turning Point USA extended her an invitation to clear the air in person. Owens has had a lot of theories in the wake of Kirk's assassination on September 10, but has not backed these up with proof.
Her latest accusation was against the top TPUSA leadership, who Owens said had ‘betrayed’ Charlie Kirk. In turn, TPUSA's Blake Neff invited Owens, issuing a challenge, to appear on Kirk's podcast where they'd address the allegations she's made. Initially, Owens had agreed but then kicked up a storm about the scheduling of the livestream. She made it clear that an in-person presence in Phoenix for the episode would not be possible, and noted that the podcast was at the same time that her show aired as well.

While Owens didn't back out of the challenge, many online speculated that she was trying to find a way out. Now, Neff has also responded, seemingly cutting off any chances of Owens being present for the livestream.
What Blake Neff said about Candace Owens
Neff responded to Owens' accusations that the livestream had been scheduled without consulting her. “Yesterday, we made it clear that we would be scheduling a formal response to the allegations and accusations you have made. We've decided that response will be delivered during a livestream on December 15th,” he wrote on X.
Further, Neff added, “Thank you for your response letting us know you will not be joining the in-person conversation. We will be proceeding without you.”
He shared Owens' post to make her point.
Owens had earlier said “December 15th does not work in-person and 2pm PT is also literal time I do my podcast LIVE everyday (which you knew)— but we will happily cancel the daily podcast and will join you guys virtually instead for the livestream on the 15th if that works on your end?” However, her proposal to join virtually appears to have to been rejected.
