Josh Hammer Responds to Candace Owens’ Attack on Him

Thursday, October 9, 2025

On today’s show, Josh Hammer responds directly to Candace Owens’ defamatory attack on him—including her outrageous allegation that he somehow had foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Josh exposes the sheer insanity of her claims, points out the malicious timing of her smear while he was offline for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and lays bare the toxic undercurrent of antisemitism fueling her rhetoric. He also unpacks the broader implications of this kind of reckless conspiracism: how it poisons public debate, undermines conservative unity, and distracts from the real battles we need to fight. Josh makes the case for why truth still matters—and why character assassination from within must be called out.
