Candace Owens CHANGED Everything: How She Became the MOST POWERFUL Woman in Media 2026 EXPOSED!
Candace Owens reshaped media in 2026 by exposing Erica Kirk’s alleged CIA-linked fraud, a "third rail" topic that triggered a Jenga-like collapse of systemic deception. Unlike mainstream pundits, she fearlessly tackled child trafficking and big tech’s predation, leveraging what critics dismiss as "female intuition" to dismantle narratives—while male opponents default to ideological repetition. Independent from corporate control, her unfiltered style and loyalty to allies like Charlie Kirk (despite past betrayals) cemented her as the most powerful woman in media, with Lynn’s Warriors amplifying her anti-human trafficking crusade. [Automatically generated summary]
I want to start off with the thesis, if you will, and the argument that Candace Owens is the most important and powerful woman in media today.
And that's not just a grandiose or some kind of gratuitous plot it or encomium.
It's the truth.
It's not a peeing to her genius.
It's the truth.
And I know what I'm talking about.
And I've often been fascinated by this.
I started off in like 1988.
This is my first gig ever in talk radio, kind of on the weekend.
But I started paying attention to it then.
And I saw the nascent rise of Rush Limbaugh and how nobody really knew what that was about.
I mean, they really couldn't, they couldn't believe what they were saying.
And whether people liked him or not, or whether they agreed with him politically, the truth became the fact that he was without a doubt the most powerful person there is.
And I saw this.
He changed everything.
He was so big.
His noon show was so big that restaurants found out they were losing business around lunchtime because people were sitting in their car.
This is before, you know, Wachman of the old days and just radio.
So restaurants would open up their entire dining room to Rush listening rooms.
This is the truth.
It's brilliant.
And what happened was I saw that.
And then there was this kind of a post, kind of a development of conservative talk radio.
It started with Joe Pine, my great friend and WABC colleague Bob Grant at the time.
I saw this.
And then later on, there was a concomitant rise in terms of this is kind of like spoken media, if you think about it.
People like Stern, Howard Stern, whether you like him or not, again, you don't have to like any of these people.
I'm talking about the absolute value.
Remember in math, absolute value.
The absolute value of four is four.
The absolute value of negative four is four.
Because it doesn't determine direction.
It determines magnitude.
So the magnitude of these people, irrespective of whether you agree with them, is a different story altogether.
So what's interesting, I found, was that as these people developed, and as all of this kind of came out of nowhere, I started to see how things changed.
And then there were other movements as well.
You know, Geraldo had his moment.
And there were people like Dick Cabot.
And of course, there was Johnny Carson and Jack Parr and Steve Allen.
So there's always been these folks.
Now this, what you're seeing right now, this particular medium, this platform, this milieu, whatever this is, is brand new.
And people that I know still don't understand it.
They don't get it.
Maybe you know people like this.
They say, what are you listening to that?
Who is that?
Like, I still think Joe Rogan is probably the most popular podcaster of them all in terms of sheer number, the number of people, the number of penetration, without a doubt.
Powerful is a different story.
Powerful is a different story.
Powerful is a difference, is completely different.
And maybe difficult to understand or why that is.
Joe Rogan does not necessarily want, Joe Rogan realized, I think, a while back that when he was getting involved in that COVID business, when he pretty much suggested that maybe the vaccines were bogus or maybe the threat of COVID wasn't as bad as people thought.
Either way, irrespective, he, Joe, got into some problems.
And the problems were that he dared not stray into that.
So he immediately apologizes that the hell with this.
So he will only attack things now, and I think very wisely, that really are not important.
When I say not important, not controversial.
He'll say something that a lot of people believe, or he'll say something that is not susceptible to any kind of controversy.
That's popular.
Powerful Candice.
Barnett.
Who else strays this much?
Most of the people, most of the people, think about this.
Most of the people, go name them.
Name them.
Most of the people.
And it's not really left and right anymore.
They're very powerful.
They're very, how do we say this?
They're very popular within the context of their own people, but they don't cause any controversy.
They assume the overall position of the people in their particular group.
They're not controversial in the least.
They all say pretty much the same thing, but in a different way.
In a different way.
They all say the same thing.
I'm not going to mention, believe me, I'm not going to mention the names, but I can think of four of them where they all have one category, and each of them says a particular subject, a particular phrase, a frame of reference, one way, but in different styles.
But it's one story.
And then you have, I'm trying to think of, you have conservative, this is political, conservative, kind of Fox News type talk show hosts, and then you have NPR, MSNBC types.
You know, Trump is good, Trump is bad.
And the people who say Trump is good all pretty much say the same thing.
And the people say Trump is bad, they say the same thing, but there's different styles.
So there's nothing really, there's nothing that risky.
There's something shocking because within each particular group, they say the same thing.
Candace comes along, and I mean, she hit something.
She hit a nerve.
We didn't even know there was a nerve connected to it.
Can you imagine making your bones on Erica Kirk?
Not America, not Trump, not war, not the Middle East, not well.
I mean, one could argue that, but again, her position in the Middle East is not at all unique at all.
I'm not saying it's not valid, but that's not what made her who she is.
It's Erica Kirk.
Nobody's saying this.
Nobody.
Except her.
And now people are coming to it.
She took on something that nobody even realized was this much of a third rail, this much of a patellar reaction.
This was this, this was sacrilege.
Erica Kirk, the widow?
Oh, for God's sakes.
Jeez, this woman's great.
See?
She did that.
Let me say this again.
It wasn't her position in the Middle East.
It was her position on even Macron, though she certainly blazed a trail there.
Other people were saying what she said.
Other people did.
Other people have said.
And by the way, her Middle East position, one could argue she's rather restrained compared to other people.
So I don't want to get into that.
It's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the subject matter.
And Macron, other people have said this.
But Erica, that's hers.
That's hers.
And I'll bet you anything, to this day, she probably thinks, that was it?
That was it.
Because she came along and she said, guess what?
Out of all, yeah, you had your thoughts about, you know, the Middle East or about politics or about women's issues or the Supreme Court or crime or race or whatever, whatever the other, whatever the topics are, you probably had, You know, pro or con, you had an idea.
But Erica Kirk, she just walked right by and you said, oh, okay.
Poor thing.
And you said, oh, no, Bring her back.
Fraud.
What?
Fraud?
Wait, wait, wait, hold it, hold it.
Who's a fraud?
Erica Kirk, fraud, grifter, phony, liar.
Whoa, stop it.
You can't do this.
Again, I'm not understanding why this happened.
You're saying she, yep, phony, grifter, con, might have even been re, don't even say it, might have been involved.
And it blew up.
Blew up.
All of a sudden, people say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on here?
It's like people in the world, it's like we're at a big event and like you're going through an exhibit at a state fair, like, oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
And all of a sudden, hey, what's that crowd over there?
Why are there all these people waiting in line to see?
Who is that?
What's going on here?
Oh, that's Erica Kirk.
Or Eric.
Oh, my God.
No, it's not Erica Kirk.
It is.
Sorry.
No, it's Candace Owens.
Who?
Candace Owens.
And then you walk in, and the crowd is going berserk, crazy.
And you're thinking, what is this?
Candace Owens has revealed that Erica Kirk, this seeming nicey, nicey pageant, you know, everybody is maybe some Brunhilde, maybe some artificial plant, some shadow government, whatever.
She is nothing but fraud.
She is really, really shocked people.
She Might Have Been Groomed00:02:00
Again, and the reason why then is when you get into it, you realize, I never knew what a fraud she is.
She might be the Ponzi of our time, the, oh, who was the fellow?
The fellow who did the Howard Hughes, the grifters and the conmen.
And she did it.
This is the best part.
In such a way where she said, oh, no, no, you're expecting that I'm just pointing out a few things about her.
Like maybe she was a, maybe she was a little bit more frisky than you thought, or maybe she wasn't the vestible virgin that you thought, or maybe she wasn't the Christian.
Oh, no, no, no.
This might be the ma Barker.
She might have been like a part of a family, of a, of like a, like almost like a crime family, like a series of this, this, this provenance of grifters and phonies and conmen and LLCs and prison and how she was raised.
And there might have been something even more important.
She might have been raised, it might have been a condition that might have been, dare I say, groomed to use in the other word, maybe, to be a part of something which might have intel overtones.
She might have been a part of some kind of a group of people who themselves are, I'm not sure how to say this exactly, but maybe CIA related.
Maybe Tavistock, you know, Frankfurt School.
This goes back, and we've heard about this forever, schools like this, where people are.
If you ever think about the number of people in rock and roll whose fathers were involved in it, even think about this.
Stuart Copeland's dad was in the CIA.
Zappa's father was, I think, involved in this.
Jim Morrison's father was in the Navy and the military.
A lot of these people were.
People Are Looking For Something Different00:03:19
And so, again, Candace is just saying, what about this?
What about this one?
Look at this.
And you're looking at this and you're saying, she almost, it's like she almost, it's like somebody who makes it through passport or through a customs.
They seem to be okay.
Somebody says, whoa, whoa, oh, oh, come here, bring them back.
Let me see that.
Let me see that passport.
Uh-huh.
Look, this is who we're looking for.
This is, that's what we found out.
That the person that we thought, the person that we were convinced, the person that we were told was this, whatever she was, was in fact this sort of like a like an imposter.
And it just blew up.
And then what made her even more powerful is all of a sudden people are looking for something different.
People are looking for something novel.
People are looking for something, a new trend, a new phrase, a new catch, a new level of instinct or intrigue, a level of something else.
And when we found this, we realized this is the greatest story in the world.
It just doesn't stop.
And then, and also, if you notice, where's Erica now?
She's probably, I swear to you, if there is any semblance of rational thought, somebody from TPUSA is saying, you got to go.
You've got to go.
Now, go, go.
You're bringing heat to all of us.
You could bring everything down.
They're already looking at this.
They've already got probably an auditing colonoscope up.
Our R says it is.
We can't.
You cannot do this anymore.
You must go and go now.
This isn't a joke.
This is serious.
Lives are at stake.
We mean business.
Don't force our hand.
You will be taken care of.
But you can't do this anymore.
You can't do the appearances.
You can't do the looks.
You can't do the hair and makeup.
You can't do the gold lame.
You can't go to any TPUSA events.
You can't sign.
Don't be surprised.
I read something the other day where her makeup person was listing all of the makeup, all of the shades and all of this.
Don't be surprised if she does a makeup line, a clothing line.
You think I'm kidding?
You think I'm kidding?
Don't be surprised if TPUSA was thinking about going into kind of like the home, like almost like real estate, as they were, as Erica had, I mean, it keeps, goddamn it, I keep saying it, as Candace had indicated, maybe perhaps communities, maybe, you know, gated communities of like-minded TPUSAers where they could help first-time home buyers and just hold the property, hold the land, hold the paper.
I mean, my God, this could be huge.
And all of that, by the way, was getting in the way of Charlie, who was saying, because there were rumors, according to Candace, maybe they were looking at Doge type of audits and the like that they were thinking of.
And if you look, and if you look at others, if you look at all of the other wolves and these other websites or these platforms that have really expertise in forensic auditing and the like, or accounting forensics, all of it was just exploding.
And that lightning rod was Candace.
Everybody Died: Jenga Collapse00:03:10
I mean, this thing, you don't know where this was going.
Well, they would have found out that without Charlie, it would have gone nowhere.
But they don't think that yet.
See, nobody, when you're looking at losing maybe billions of dollars ultimately, you tend to get very pie in this guy.
And you don't want somebody coming along and ruining that dream.
You don't want somebody coming along and saying, wait a minute, you don't know what's going on here.
You really don't get what's going on here.
They don't need that.
They don't want that.
But she came along and she destroyed everything.
And all of this in multiple parts because of the fact that Candace was asking questions about Charlie.
And here comes, here comes, what's her name?
Erica.
And then they unleashed the kind of like human trolls, human bots to come out in defense of her.
But during a trailer, I know I keep saying this, but help me.
During a trailer.
And Bongino just showed how everybody died because of his sins.
Everybody died.
Everybody died because of his sins.
Okay?
It's that simple.
That simple, that brutal, that horrible.
That it was done.
They don't realize that one at all.
He, believe me, you're going to watch what they do.
They're going to tell him that's enough.
So all of this happened little by little.
I think if you knew this analogy a million times, one time I was a kid, I was in the store.
I never forgot this in the basket, you know, in Barbicut, you know, when you're in this little buggy.
And there were these, this is in Florida, and they had these oranges, and they're part of this pyramidal setup.
And it was almost like a Jenga thing.
And somebody, I said, you obviously want to take the oranges.
They're all the same, and they're fungible.
Why would you?
But somebody walked up and they said, nope, I'm going to take this one.
And every time they pull it, somehow the configuration and the disposition of force or whatever it is was such that it was spread out where it didn't collapse.
It didn't collapse.
And they pull another one.
I said, wow, it's just by virtue of happenstance.
And then sure enough, somebody would pull this orange and it all collapsed.
Jenga-esque.
Or Django-esque.
Well, that's Erica.
She came along and she did this.
And nobody cared about her because she was Charlie's wife.
Nobody cared whether her pageant, she never gave a statement about that Paget bullshit about, well, I was never really involved in Paget.
I just, somebody nominated me the next thing and I'm okay.
I'm in Arizona.
No.
Nobody cared because nobody asked her because she was a nobody.
She was just this, she was this ancillary Mrs. Kirk.
And they didn't know about her mother or any of this stuff, but now they do.
At her own behest, at her behest.
Because remember, you wanted this, to quote Jack Reacher, you wanted this.
Everything was fine.
All you had to do was just don't even bring it up.
Let Erica be Erica.
Candace Backs Off00:14:26
Nobody cares.
Candice would have said something, and you would have said, let it go.
Candace would have always had to explain who Erica was.
Erica, you know the wife?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen her.
Erica would have also had to tone it down, which I don't know if she could have done that, but they could have played this right.
They could have had her back off, back down, take it easy, take a break, take a knee, take a powder, take a breather, and take it easy.
And that would have been perfect.
But she didn't do that.
She wanted it this way.
No, she goes, oh, no, no, no, no.
This is my time.
This is my time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not going to tell me that.
You're not going to put this in the...
No, stop it.
Stop it.
This is my time.
This is my moment.
And that's what we're watching right now.
And that will be the legacy.
And in the meantime, you tell me today, just look at, look at X. Look at who's trending.
By the way, let's go through a few things.
I don't want to bring sex or gender into this.
Who are the big, and by the way, it's one thing about these platforms.
Generally, it doesn't matter.
Megan Kelly's big.
Laura Loomer's big.
Try to think of some other names.
I'm sure you know.
There are some people within our group.
It's not that there are no women, but I mean, name the big, you know, the stars, so to speak, you know, the who.
You're going to see more.
So one thing I will say, and I'm very proud of this.
And I'm not, I don't want to say this.
People take it the wrong way.
But if ever there was, I think, classical feminism, I am one of those when it comes to this because I think women's opinions are just as valid.
Oh, Maureen Callahan is excellent.
Funny.
But I think a woman's opinion is just as great as a man, if not better.
Because one thing is, and I'm going to say something, and please, give me one minute.
I know this sounds gratuitous, but I'm always going to, remember, I'm always going to tell you the truth.
You may not agree with it.
We've been pretty lucky so far, but don't be surprised if I say something because it's the way I am.
And I believe it.
I used to say as a joke years and years ago, and then later on, kind of caught on, but I used to say it without even thinking.
I said, you know, women are crazy, but men are stupid.
And women are able, by virtue of the fact that I think your intuition is much better.
And I think the fact that women, and I'm sorry, that's true.
I think that women are able to see things differently.
Not better, but differently.
And when it comes to other women in particular, because women recognize instinctively and intuitively and naturally how predatory some women can be, they themselves are better attuned to it, more sensitive, and more willing to focus on that which is apparent.
Women know things.
Women know things.
And the reason why is that women are treated the worst by women.
And I don't want to get too much.
People are going to take this out of context.
I don't mean, but what I'm saying is true.
I know this.
I know what I'm talking about.
And I think that you could have taken anybody.
You could have taken anybody.
Alex or whatever.
Not me necessarily, but I'm trying to think of other names.
And Alex, by the way, has been sometimes, I think he's losing his mind.
I'm not saying he's on the payroll, but I think he's backed off.
Same thing with that other guy.
I think old, what's his name?
You know, back off, back off, back off back off Candace.
What's his name?
Funtes and the same people.
It's weird when all of a sudden somebody pops out of nowhere and you're saying, don't do this.
You're not, put it this way.
I'm balancing two things.
First of all, why women's opinions sometimes are superior.
But also, if you're going to go after Candace, give me facts.
Don't just call her a demon in unison because you sound like everybody else.
You know, it's really weird when everybody say one of the things which is very interesting is that, for example, the official war beliefs between Democrats and Republicans, right now it's pretty much the same thing.
The military industrial complex, this permanent military class, is the same no matter who's who.
It's like this permanent, it's deep state, the shadow government, whatever you want to call it.
Some things just never, some things just never change, and we know this to be true.
And we also know when all of a sudden you pop out and you're going after, I mean, does anybody think that they're going to change, they're going to derail Candace's popularity because somebody comes up and calls her a demon?
Seriously, pick the name.
Can you think of anybody who's going to change your mind, your mind, because they say, oh, she's, Candace is evil?
I'm like, what?
Because guess what?
You're agreeing with somebody I really dislike.
See, that's the part I don't understand.
You don't have any new insight.
You're just repeating the same thing that somebody I don't like things.
So I think there are great differences between men and women.
You probably didn't know that.
Did you know that?
Did you know men and women are different?
Did you know that?
You have any kids?
See any differences between men and boys or girls?
Yeah, you do.
Sure, you do.
Did you know years ago there was a test with an observation?
And they asked boys, it was blocks, you know, blocks or whatever it was.
And boys stacked them up.
And they couldn't see how they got how high can they go before it tumbles over.
Girls spread them out, making like a home.
You know what I mean?
Just completely different.
Women show instinct far greater than men initially.
Babies, women, baby carriages, mommy.
It is so, it is wild.
It's instinct.
Call it God, nature, whatever it is.
Unraveling, unraveling.
Nurturing, nurturing.
And what comes with nurturing?
The ability to protect.
And the ability to protect also comes with a concomitant ability to be able to detect predators and people who pose a threat to you, your family, your heart, your children, your offspring, your brood.
And in order to do that, you've got to find out who's sincere and who's not, who means harm.
And you've got to have a great bullshit detector.
And women have better bullshit detectors than men do.
I'm sorry.
Because sometimes men get too like, hey, how are you?
You're a fool.
They're playing you for a fool.
Interesting story.
Did you know years ago, there was another study one time, they did a, it wasn't really a study, but when I was a prosecutor, they had, they had, what was the thing we heard about?
Auto repair fraud.
It's really, really serious.
And because people don't have, nobody goes to a, you know, it's really not a repairman anymore.
I mean, not the way we used to, carburetors and things like that.
So men would, these unscrupulous places would take somebody, you'd bring your car in, they'd have a bucket full of bolts or wires and go, see, this is your old parts.
And we put in new ones.
Oh, whoever goes back and checks the new parts?
Anyway, this was a big problem.
The question was, who was more susceptible to fraud?
Men or women?
Car fraud.
Answer?
Men.
Because when a garage person says, well, you know, you got to show what you got here.
You got your time and you got your universal and you got your carburetor, you got your fister gave it modulator and it's architectural.
You know about that, don't you?
Of course I do.
You know about the carburetor.
Of course, yeah, yeah, what?
And the woman would say, no, no, I don't know what that is.
Explain that to me.
And where are these parts?
How do I know these parts are the ones who actually took women were defrauded fewer times because they asked questions, because they had antennae that somehow detected nonsense.
They could tell this immediately.
It was brilliant.
That might be one of the reasons why I think, because I don't know who's who, but I would venture to say, let me ask you this question.
Of Candace's fans, what percentage is there?
I think women appreciate her more than men do.
I think women appreciate the value and the accuracy and the creative and the focused brutality.
She's brutal.
Candace is brutal.
I love that.
You can't stop her.
She will destroy you.
She will tear you apart.
So please, do not be offended.
Do not be offended.
I know somebody's going to be offended.
What do you mean?
It's true.
What I'm saying is true.
And I'm telling you, I think women are smarter than men.
I'm telling you this.
How many boys I got to tell you that?
Sorry, guys.
My wife, Mrs. L, my beloved.
Oh, shit.
You don't know.
Uh-uh.
Nope.
That is the most amazing woman ever, ever.
And I'm telling you, I've seen stuff that just blows my mind.
I've seen stuff.
She has said some things in the past that just absolutely kill me.
And others as well.
And I think it goes back, and I'm going to say this goes back again, yet again.
I believe this goes back to the fact that there is protection of home and hearth.
And I think it's natural.
That's what I do.
I really do.
I really, really do.
Anyway, so that, all of it mixed, all of this together, all of this mixed shows an acceptance and a recognition and an appreciation for the sheer power and the magnanimity of one Candace Owens.
And I think that the reason why is because she's so brutal.
She's so indefatigable.
She's intransigent in a good way.
She is inexorable in her movement.
You cannot stop her.
And she's right and she notices.
And she notices something.
And whether it's she has that sense of protection, because somebody is challenging Charlie's legacy.
She loves Charlie.
And I mean this in a not in a romantic sense, but she loves him as a friend.
Candace is the one you want to have as a friend.
These other flyby nights, uh-uh, you can trust her.
I know what I'm talking about.
You can trust her.
Because I think she's been double-crossed by so many people.
Look at that whole daily wire, whatever the Ben Shapiro.
I think the first time somebody shows her sincere, sincere, and actual affection and respect, I think she reciprocates in kind.
I think she's incredible.
So, for the foregoing reasons and a vermin cited, Your Honor, I respectfully submit, and this honorable court, that I will hope you adjudicate her as being the most powerful, powerful woman, man, woman person in media today.
There is nobody who has had the impact.
There's nobody who can say, do this.
Do who?
Who else is?
I don't want to go down the list, but I mean, bless her heart.
She's very good.
If Megan Kelly said, go out and vote for, but if Candace did, and that's why Candace never listened to them.
They're going to offer you a job.
They're going to try to qualify and they're going to try to mold you.
It's nothing to do with Joe Rogan.
They're going to try to get him a private gig, and then he'll easily ruin.
Once you let corporate interests tell you what to do, now we all have, obviously, we have to abide certain limitations and the like.
You know that, and I know that.
That's fine.
But if she ever leaves this, oh, no, no, no.
You keep it just like this.
She's got a great team, and that's it.
Her stuff, her, it is.
And she is, once we are familiar with it, we are comfortable with it.
Don't change it.
I'm telling you, Candace, don't ever change it.
Don't change this at all.
Just leave it the way it is.
I'm telling you.
She will be, oh my God, unbelievable.
Because you know what's so great about her?
She's her.
She's best.
Also, when she doesn't have guests, I don't really want to hear anybody that's with her.
I mean, under great people, don't get me wrong.
I want to hear Candace.
I want to hear Candace.
Just Candace.
That's it.
And she knows she's, you know, she's stretching out.
I want to hear her.
And those daily contributions.
And the fact of meeting us, how they brought us together, you and me.
We didn't know each other before.
Now look at this.
Look at this.
We're a team.
We're buds.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for everything.
I mentioned before my beloved wife, who is, I can't even tell you, I can't tell you a lot of times what she's doing right now, but you would be, wow.
I'll let her tell you.
I don't want to ruin it, but she is 100%, when I tell you this, she is completely devoted to stopping child trafficking, human trafficking, and child predation, especially right now.
Her latest is going after big tech, how big tech is destroying our children.
I mean that sincerely.
I mean that sincerely.
I mean that it's brutal.
Please follow her at Lynn's Warriors.
I have a link below in the description.
I thank you.
And thank you for this.
And thank you for your great comments.
We're going to be doing more lives at night.
I like the live stream stuff.
I love this.
Listen, it may wear out.
If I wear out my welcome, I'm sure you'll tell me.
But for the time being, this story has no end.
It is protein.
It shape-shifts.
It's beautiful.
And I thank you.
I thank you for this.
I thank you for your kindness as well.
And somebody tells me we got a lot to talk about.
So in the meantime, let me say thank you and remind you to comment as you see.
