Examining Internet Theories About Charlie Kirk Assassination at Utah Valley University Without Drawing Conclusions
The hosts analyze various theories circulating online about the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, including the transgender activist theory, the mystery sniper theory, and the controversial Israel connection theory. They emphasize repeatedly that they are not endorsing any particular explanation and are simply documenting what people are discussing on the internet. With no suspect in custody and conflicting reports about weapons found at the scene, the hosts walk through social media posts, eyewitness accounts, and breaking news updates while urging caution against rushing to judgment. The conversation reveals how quickly conspiracy theories spread when information is scarce and tensions are high.
The internet is filled with theories about the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, but the hosts make clear from the outset that they do not endorse any of these theories. They acknowledge the human impulse to react emotionally—one host admits to tweeting in rage initially—but stress that after reflection, they realized how irresponsible it can be to claim knowledge they don't actually have.
The hosts emphasize that without knowing who is behind the shooting, why it happened, or what it expresses, it's impossible to draw firm conclusions. They raise the possibility that the assassination could be the work of an external actor using the event to further divide the United States, rather than something originating from within American political factions.
The Political Nature of the Assassination
The Governor of Utah stated flatly that this was a political assassination, and the hosts agree this seems obvious. They note it's hard to imagine Charlie Kirk being targeted for non-political reasons. As one host points out, outside of politics, Kirk appeared to be a completely upstanding father and husband with no personal controversies. There's no suggestion he owed anyone money or had any personal conflicts that would make him a target.
The hosts identify two primary possibilities: either the shooter was a political enemy who hated Kirk's views on abortion, his Republican positions, or his MAGA alignment; or the assassination was orchestrated by actors outside America as a calculated agent provocateur move—a kind of three-dimensional chess play designed to destabilize the country.
Theory One: The Transgender Activist Connection
The first theory centers on a transgender individual who posted on Twitter the day before Kirk's appearance at Utah Valley University. The post from a user named Omar stated: "Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow. I really hope someone evaporates him. Literally, let's just say something big will happen tomorrow."
The hosts note this wouldn't be the first time a transgender individual has been involved in a shooting or act of violence, referring to them as "trifers" (a term used by Andy Ngo). They acknowledge that Charlie Kirk, being a Christian man with biblical views on gender, held traditional conservative positions that particularly angered the transgender community. His persuasive and influential arguments against transgender ideology made him a special target of hatred in that community.
However, the hosts express skepticism about whether this particular individual actually carried out the assassination. They suggest the social media post might have been an attempt to cause a scene online or call in a fake threat to get Kirk's event canceled—something the left does frequently. One host questions whether this person looks like they have a plan or the capability to execute a professional assassination and then escape all authorities.
Theory Two: The Boomer Radical
An older man was initially detained at the scene and released by authorities. The New York Times confirmed it was not him. However, this individual did something extremely bizarre while in police custody: he repeatedly yelled "Shoot me!" at officers.
The hosts find this behavior very strange and struggle to explain it. They float the possibility that he was trying to create a distraction so the real shooter could escape, though they admit this is pure speculation. The mystery of why this man behaved this way remains unexplained.
Theory Three: The Mystery Sniper on the Roof
Video footage shows an individual on a rooftop at a distance of approximately 450 feet from where Kirk was shot. People at the scene were seen pointing toward the roof, and footage appears to show someone running across it.
Adding to this theory, online sleuths noted that a private jet left the local airport within an hour of the shooting. Strangely, after 30 minutes in the air, the plane dropped off radar for about an hour—something that is illegal and extremely dangerous, as it makes the aircraft invisible to other planes and air traffic control.
The hosts discuss whether this would have been enough time for the plane to land at a nearby runway, offload a passenger, and take off again. One host expresses skepticism about this theory, noting that using a private jet seems like a high-profile way to move around compared to simply using a rental car. They also point out that air traffic was not shut down during this time, making the escape theoretically possible.
Eyewitness Account of Multiple Conspirators
An eyewitness at the event provided testimony suggesting that multiple people were working together. This individual had just finished talking to Charlie Kirk—only 10 to 20 seconds before the shooting—and saw Kirk shot in the neck, blood squirting everywhere.
The witness found it particularly strange that seconds before the shooting, another guest had been talking to Kirk about asking a question regarding transgenderism. Then immediately after Kirk was shot, someone with no weapon confessed to the shooting, which made the witness believe "it was clearly a setup and that multiple people were involved."
The hosts acknowledge this testimony but caution that it might simply be someone panicking in the moment who doesn't know what's happening. Still, they present it as one of the theories circulating online.
Theory Four: The Israel Connection
The most controversial theory circulating online suggests that Israel was behind the assassination. The hosts are careful to emphasize they are simply reporting what people are saying, not endorsing this view.
The theory begins with the fact that Charlie Kirk was a longstanding, vocal supporter of Israel, representing a stripe of evangelical Christianity that strongly backs the Jewish state. However, about six months before his death, Kirk began to shift his views.
In January, Kirk asserted that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent and said the Epstein files should all be released. He also began questioning the official narrative of the October 7th massacre on Patrick Bet-David's podcast. In one notable clip, Kirk discussed how Israel is essentially a fortress with surveillance everywhere and IDF soldiers every 10 feet, making it hard to believe that Hamas could have penetrated Israeli defenses without some kind of stand-down order. He pointed out that Netanyahu had been facing massive protests and was on the brink of being removed from power, but after October 7th, "all that's gone" and Netanyahu suddenly had an emergency government and a mandate to lead.
Kirk also appeared on Megyn Kelly's podcast about a month before his death, expressing frustration that he couldn't raise any criticisms of Israel without being deemed an anti-Semite—something he took very personally since he was not anti-Semitic.
In one of his most recent statements, Kirk criticized Jewish donors, saying they have "a lot of explaining to do" because they've been "the number one funding mechanism of radical open-border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits." He stated: "This is a beast created by secular Jews. And now it's coming for Jews, and they're like, 'What on earth happened?'" One host notes that this criticism sounds similar to arguments made by Nick Fuentes.
Perhaps most significantly, Infowars host Harrison Smith posted on August 13th—a month before Kirk's death—that someone close to Kirk told him that "Charlie thinks Israel will kill him if he turns against them." Smith later clarified that his source was secondhand information that came up during a conversation about right-wing Zionist influencers.
Jackson Hinkle, an anti-Israel activist, laid out the conspiracy theory in full, noting that Kirk "used to be an Israel loyalist, feared Israel would kill him, started mildly criticizing Israel, said Epstein was Mossad, let anti-Zionists speak at his events." Hinkle also pointed out that Netanyahu tweeted about Kirk's death within minutes—even before President Trump did—and that Jewish newspapers immediately started posting articles about Kirk that portrayed him as an anti-Semite.
The hosts acknowledge they can see why this conspiracy theory is gaining traction online, given all these breadcrumbs, but they do not endorse it. They simply note it's important to be aware that this is a popular theory being discussed.
Breaking News: Weapon and Evidence Found
While recording, the hosts receive breaking news from Steven Crowder, who obtained what appears to be an internal law enforcement email. According to this document, ATF and other law enforcement located an older model imported Mauser 30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near campus. The location matched the suspect's apparent route of travel.
Significantly, the spent cartridge was still chambered in the rifle, along with three unspent rounds in a top-fed magazine. All cartridges had engraved wording on them expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.
The hosts immediately recognize that this finding doesn't necessarily confirm anything. As they point out, just because someone inscribes something on bullets doesn't mean they actually hold those beliefs. It could be a transgender shooter who wanted to be identified, or it could be misdirection from someone trying to frame the transgender community. One host notes that if you were an outside agent provocateur who shot AOC, you'd carve a swastika on the bullets or write "MAGA" to direct suspicion elsewhere.
The firearm has been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions, and an emergency trace has been submitted. Multiple people of interest have been contacted or detained based on witness testimony and video footage review, but no arrests have been announced.
The Bottom Line
The hosts conclude by reiterating that until law enforcement actually catches the person responsible and finds concrete evidence about their actual intention and motive, nobody really knows what happened. They've presented the major theories circulating online—transgender activist, mystery professional sniper, and Israeli intelligence operation—along with the breaking news about evidence found at the scene, but they refuse to endorse any particular explanation. The situation remains fluid, confusing, and deeply troubling, with Americans across the political spectrum desperately seeking answers about why Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
