There are thousands of conspiracy theories swirling around Charlie Kirk—should we believe any of them? None of them? Maybe look into a few of them?

The most popular one—especially on the Right, thanks to figures like Candace Owens—is that Israel orchestrated a hit job against Charlie because he refused to be bribed to secure college-age kids’ unwavering support for Israel.

I’m not buying it. Frankly, I’m tired of it. It’s as out-there as the ones on the Left theorizing that Charlie’s death was orchestrated by the Trump team to distract from the Epstein files—or that Charlie faked his death and is still alive—or that the Illuminati killed him because of his rare genetics. GOOD GOD, how many rabbit holes does it take to fill a vacuum?

I’m all about asking questions—but there’s a difference between asking questions and refusing to accept evidence while you sell conspiracy theories behind a subscription paywall at the expense of everyone who’s still trying to grieve Charlie and move on with his mission to save America.

I don’t want to see the death of my friend and colleague turned into a circus act of conjecture—sold as entertainment for those who can’t accept that sometimes life is just cruel, terrible, and unfair—and sometimes good people die at the hands of bad people.

Many of these theories drag Erika Kirk—Charlie’s own widow—into it. They claim her grief is faked, that she somehow was behind Charlie’s death, that she orchestrated her own takeover of TPUSA. That’s downright despicable.

Grief is not a formula; it’s a human experience that differs person to person. Some of these snake oil peddlers should consider that Charlie and Erika could very well have discussed this beforehand. Charlie knew there were death threats on his life. It would be completely logical for him to have a plan of succession. We know he had TPUSA designed all the way to 2030.

I want to honor Charlie’s legacy by focusing on what mattered to him—not on a mountain of conjecture that fractures the very base he spent all his energy trying to unite.
Like I said, Candace Owens has been one of the most vocal in pushing her belief that Israel had something to do with Charlie’s death.

Her claims rely on a lot of “trust me” because this is what people “close to Charlie” are telling her in private. She thinks TPUSA has been taken over by Israel—but there’s a big problem with that for me. It’s been taken over by Charlie’s wife—the person who would know most about what Charlie wants and would want to honor his wishes most—and she is surrounded by his inner circle. They’re on board with the entire TPUSA mission.

I’m supposed to trust Candace—someone who split from Charlie years ago, someone who didn’t even attend the memorial service, allegedly because of security concerns—despite the fact that it was considered safe enough for the President of the United States and his cabinet. But no, not for Candace. I’m supposed to trust her more than Erika?

Eric Bolling, another friend and colleague of mine who’s on the board of Turning Point, doesn’t appreciate the slander—and he sheds some light on the reality of Charlie’s and Candace’s relationship here.

Now’s as good a time as any to update you on the massive civil lawsuit filed against Candace by the French and let you know that Brigitte Macron’s legal team has submitted photographic evidence that Macron is a woman, which is an upsetting thought and plans to lay out more evidence to prove the same—YIKES—which, of course, just means that the biggest scandal is still the fact that a 40-year-old woman groomed a 15-year-old boy—Emmanuel, who later became the French President.

So, Candace’s biggest moneymaker so far seems dead in the water, but I digress. We’re supposed to trust Candace more than Erika—but not just Erika—everyone else who was closer to Charlie than Candace was.

Those closest to Charlie have denied the claims coming from the anti-Israel crowd. Here’s Andrew Kolvet—the executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, a very close friend of Charlie’s as you can imagine.

Charlie was a friend to Israel—but he asked questions just as well as anyone, hated war just as much as anyone—but he was in no one’s pocket, and never had been.
Charlie’s pastor, Rob McCoy, has also begged the conspiracy theorists to give it a break—calling out Candace by name, specifically.

He shared this statement—quote:

“Charlie Kirk was a friend to Candace and never publicly spoke poorly of her though he disagreed with her. He never operated nor entertained gossip or innuendo concerning Candace… I only wish at this tragic time of mourning she would be the friend to Charlie that he was to her. He would never have treated Candace or her family in such a way had God forbid this tragedy been hers.”

It’s worth noting that another of Candace’s claims has been that Charlie was about to convert to Catholicism from evangelical—something that everyone close to Charlie, including his wife, has denied vehemently as another flat-out lie.

It surprised nobody when Candace blamed Israel—because she’s made a habit of that over the last few years. And if you want to know what Charlie himself thought about that—he actually answered a question on this exact topic less than two weeks before he was taken from us.

If we followed Candace’s logic—then she’s just as likely to have orchestrated his murder as Israel—since he seemed to critique something she did too.

But that’s not the logic I follow. I follow the evidence—the actual evidence—which is what the FBI and local authorities are in possession of.

Candace has called on the FBI and TPUSA to divulge all the information they have on hand—and I just gotta say—just because you have a podcast does not mean you have the right to sensitive information that’s vital for an active investigation.

More importantly, it’s to make sure there is a successful prosecution of the killer—and anyone else that could be involved—because yes, that is still part of the active investigation too.

And when we talk about evidence—I don’t think we should discount the fact that Tyler Robinson has confessed to the crime. We have someone actually taking credit for the kill—and it’s believable. Not everything has to be so convoluted.

One of the biggest takeaways from Charlie’s murder is just how far the Left’s pendulum has swung toward violence against anyone they disagree with. We’ve spent a lot of time on this—and a lot of Americans—moderates, Democrats, nonpartisans, non-politicals—are waking up to this.

I don’t want to lose that underneath a cloud of conspiracy theories about foreign governments or cabals who could be responsible—when we have someone taking responsibility—a left-wing radical who believed the pundits when they said Charlie Kirk was a fascist, a Nazi, and a white supremacist. Don’t let the Left get off so easily by pinning this on someone else.

If I’m inclined to think one theory is believable—it’s that the text messages between Tyler and his roommate-slash-lover are staged to absolve the roommate of any responsibility. But guess what—that’s also conjecture. It seems plausible, but I’m going to wait on proof before I start running my mouth as if it’s a cold, hard fact.
And I want to take a moment to say something here—if I’m wrong on all of this—if there is indisputable proof that someone other than Tyler Robinson orchestrated this attack—I’ll do something you never hear any of these pundits do. I’ll admit that I was wrong. I will look you in the eye and say—I was wrong.

But I’m waiting on the FBI. I’m waiting on people I trust. We’re talking about Kash Patel here. He’s been a friend to many of these conspiracy theorists—and now we’re supposed to believe he’s in on this too? Come on, man.

It feels a little like we’re having a “Lord of the Flies” moment. We’ve gotten so used to not being able to trust anybody or anything that we don’t know when to trust. But J.D. Vance himself commented on the fact that Charlie was instrumental in staffing the White House with people he trusted—and I plan on retaining at least a little trust in the people I wanted in here.

Because if we get our way—if conservatives are able to gain control of the institutions that matter—and we tear the whole thing apart anyway with no evidence to do so—we will crumble. And that’s not what I want for the future of conservatism.

Jillian Michaels is a conservative who’s tired of the distracting theories too—she really put her foot down on this the other day.

And sometimes that’s just what you have to do—when the conversation just goes in circles with no one producing a shred of evidence.

There are a lot of questions about the lack of an exit wound from the shot that took Charlie’s life—and the doctor has answered it. The bullet was found just underneath Charlie’s skin after obliterating and getting wedged in his vertebrae—which happens to be exactly what I told you had happened when I saw the videos.

Andrew Kolvet, Charlie’s producer, called it a miracle that no one else was killed by the bullet going through—and instead of acknowledging that—we’re being told to believe that somehow everyone—from Erika Kirk to Kash Patel to the doctor in the ER to those closest to Charlie—are all somehow in on covering up the truth behind Charlie’s death.

So now you know my stance—and you’re more than welcome to share yours with me—on social media, in my email inbox. Feel free. But I’d encourage you to question these podcasters with just as much discernment as you do everyone else—and I’d encourage you to retain a little faith in the people who knew Charlie best and who want to honor his legacy best.

Don’t let this fracture us—don’t let this undermine us.

The Left is eating their own because you can never be woke enough for them. I don’t want to see the Right face the same problem because you can’t be conspiratorial enough.

Work harder. Be better.
