Former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan previewed his latest podcast episode with conservative commentator Candace Owens, who questions whether 23-year-old Tyler James Robinson acted alone in assassinating Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event on September 10, 2025. Prosecutors link Robinson to the rifle via DNA and a note admitting plans to 'take out' Kirk, but Owens calls out what she sees as a key lie from Kirk's widow Erika, now TPUSA CEO. The interview, available early via Ryan's app, draws praise for platforming Owens amid her past deplatforming, while critics accuse her of harassing a grieving widow and dismissing evidence, highlighting splits in conservative views on the case.
