Fact Check: Did Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Shapiro and Erika Kirk plan a joint content shoot?

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Conservative commentator Candace Owens claimed online that a planned media collaboration between Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Shapiro, and Erika Kirk had been scheduled and then abruptly cancelled. Let us analyze the claims made by Owens and check whether there is any evidence supporting them.

Claim: Erika Kirk, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ben Shapiro planned a joint shoot

In a post shared on X, Owens claimed that a high-profile media collaboration involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US political commentator Ben Shapiro, and conservative figure Erika Kirk was recently planned but abruptly cancelled.

“This is insane,” she wrote, claiming that she had received a tip suggesting the three figures were scheduled to film a piece of content together in Palm Beach, Florida.

She noted that Daystar Television Network was involved in developing the project, which was called off 'at the last minute very recently.'

The post quickly prompted reactions from Owens’ followers. Some users saw the alleged cancellation as evidence of deeper political or media influences.

They argued that a project with such high-profile figures wouldn't be stopped without a reason. Others were doubtful and questioned the credibility of the claim.

Several commenters asked Owens to reveal her sources, pointing out that an unnamed 'tip' wasn't sufficient to support the allegation.

Fact Check: Unconfirmed; Candace Owens offers no evidence 

The claim, however, is not independently verified. As of now, there is no public confirmation or response from Netanyahu, Shapiro, Kirk, or Daystar regarding the alleged project or its cancellation.

Owens, who is known for promoting unverified claims and conspiracy theories, did not provide any source of the tip or documentation to support the claim.

No confirmed news reports state that such a filming was planned or canceled. Without independent verification or official statements, the claim remains unsubstantiated.

Candace Owens blasts Erika Kirk

Last month, Owens released a leaked recording of a private call where Erika Kirk was heard excitedly talking about Turning Point USA’s high merchandise sales just 11 days after her husband Charlie Kirk's assassination. 

Reacting to the audio, Owens told her viewers, "I want to remind you that Charlie [had] not been dead for two weeks." 

She stated that "The general tone is off-putting, it's the laughter that is off-putting" when discussing 'numbers and metrics.'

Owens specifically pointed out a moment where Erika said, "My husband is dead, not to be morbid," calling the statement bizarre. 

Owens said the mood of the call made her 'skin crawl' and noted that she had spoken to employees who also found the widow's behavior 'weird.'
