Joe Rogan and Andrew Santino Dissect the Charlie Kirk Shooting Incident: Suspicious Details and Unanswered Questions

Categories: Analysis
September 23, 2025

Joe Rogan and Andrew Santino examine the disturbing inconsistencies surrounding the shooting incident at a Charlie Kirk event. From a bizarre decoy who appeared at multiple national tragedies to questions about the shooter's capabilities and the physical evidence, they explore why nothing about this case adds up. The conversation touches on ballistics, the suspicious rifle narrative, a strange Facebook trail, and the possibility of deliberate confusion being spread to erode public trust in finding the truth.

The Decoy with a Disturbing Pattern

The conversation begins with discussion of a deeply suspicious individual who appeared at the Charlie Kirk shooting scene. This older man allegedly started yelling and took his pants down, claiming responsibility for the shooting. What makes this even more bizarre is his documented presence at other major American tragedies, including 9/11 and the Boston bombing. He had also called in a fake bomb threat at another location.

Andrew Santino explains that immediately after this incident, the man was arrested on child pornography charges, effectively making him unavailable for interviews or further investigation. The timing raises serious questions about whether this was a convenient way to silence someone who might reveal uncomfortable truths. When internet investigators began examining the statistical probability of one person being present at all these different tragic events, the odds appeared astronomically low.

The 22-Year-Old Shooter: Capable or Not?

The discussion shifts to the alleged shooter himself, a 22-year-old whose appearance initially raised doubts about his capabilities. Joe Rogan's guest almost texted him when the incident happened because something felt off about the official narrative that this young man could execute such a shot.

Rogan dispels the notion that the shot would be difficult, explaining that 200 yards from a prone position with a properly zeroed rifle is "not hard at all." He emphasizes that if you have a rifle set to zero at 200 yards and you know the distance you're shooting, it's an achievable shot even for someone without extensive experience. Rogan notes he could do it himself tomorrow and that someone like his friend Andy Stumpf, a former Navy SEAL sniper, could teach someone to hit steel at 200 yards consistently in a single afternoon.

The conversation touches on the difference between shooting with a scope versus iron sights, noting that the Trump shooting at 140 yards would have been considerably harder with iron sights, which require precise alignment of front and rear sights.

The Mysterious Rifle and Implausible Story

One of the most perplexing aspects of the case involves the rifle itself. Initial images showed what appeared to be a modern bolt-action rifle with a sophisticated scope and possibly a composite stock. However, the official narrative claims this was the shooter's grandfather's rifle from World War I that doesn't have a serial code.

Rogan acknowledges that while an old gun can be accurate if properly maintained by a skilled gunsmith, the story becomes even more implausible when officials claim the shooter disassembled the rifle to fit it in a backpack, then reassembled it on the roof. Both Rogan and his guest find this laughable, noting that even a highly skilled person would need significant time to disassemble and reassemble a rifle, and it wouldn't fit in the backpack shown regardless.

Security Failures and Suspicious Circumstances

The security failures surrounding the incident are glaring. There was a direct line of sight between the shooter's position and the roofs where he allegedly positioned himself, yet no one checked these obvious vantage points. No drones were deployed. The most basic security protocols appear to have been ignored.

Adding to the strangeness, there's cell phone video of someone jumping off the roof from a height of 14 feet. Whether this person was actually the shooter or just a patsy remains unclear. The entire scenario feels orchestrated rather than organic.

The Facebook Investigation and Fabricated Feel

Independent investigators examining the shooter's mother's Facebook page found bizarre and trippy content that doesn't make sense in context. Andrew Santino mentions that the more people investigate, the more fabricated everything feels. Details don't add up, connections seem contrived, and the whole picture appears increasingly artificial.

Deliberate Confusion as Strategy

Rogan offers a darker explanation for all the inconsistencies: deliberate confusion. He suggests that if powerful actors want people to lose all faith that anyone will solve anything, they add numerous wacky elements that don't make sense and spam them out simultaneously. You leave evidence that doesn't match. You have an old man expose himself and yell confessions. You create a maze of contradictions that makes the truth impossible to discern.

This strategy of information pollution serves to erode public confidence in ever getting real answers. When nothing makes sense and every lead goes nowhere or circles back on itself, people stop believing that truth is even accessible.

Additional Strange Details

The conversation briefly touches on other odd details, including mentions of the shooter having a boyfriend who is transgender and involved in the furry community, and communications on Discord. These details add to the overall sense that this case involves far more complexity and strangeness than a simple shooting incident.

Video Transcript

[00:00] the Joe Rogan experience.

[00:02] >> He set it up in a way that like, okay,

[00:04] you're saying something that's actually

[00:06] factually inaccurate according to the

[00:09] narrative. Now, let's be real clear. I

[00:11] don't necessarily think they know what's

[00:13] going on yet. There's a lot of weird

[00:16] [ __ ] going on with this.

[00:17] >> I know.

[00:18] >> First of all, there was that one guy who

[00:20] is the decoy.

[00:21] >> All right. So, you got this guy who's an

[00:23] older guy who starts yelling out, didn't

[00:26] he take his pants down? He took his

[00:28] pants down. This guy uh was at 9/11. He

[00:32] was at the Boston bombing. So he he

[00:34] called in a fake bomb at another place

[00:37] and then he did this at this thing right

[00:40] after. So somehow or another this guy

[00:42] has the state of mind that the moment

[00:44] someone gets shot, he yells out and

[00:47] says, "I did it. I did it." And takes

[00:49] his pants down or something like that. I

[00:50] don't know exactly what he did. Then

[00:52] ready for this? He gets arrested for

[00:54] child porn right away.

[00:57] >> Right after this happened. Right away

[00:58] he's in jail for child porn. Why is

[01:00] that? Well, now you can't interview him.

[01:02] >> Right. He's got Right.

[01:04] >> Right. And when cuz when the internet

[01:05] people start going, how do you how are

[01:07] you at all these different things? Like

[01:09] what are the odds? Like if someone ran

[01:10] it through uh one of the chat GPT

[01:12] [ __ ] Perplexity things, like what are

[01:15] the odds that this guy would be at all

[01:17] those different events and be involved?

[01:20] Like zero.

[01:21] >> This is the guy.

[01:22] >> Yeah.

[01:23] >> I just like that the pants down part is

[01:25] just insane to me. It's like why is your

[01:26] dick out? He did it. I did it.

[01:28] >> Listen, I'm not saying this guy isn't

[01:30] insane. He's clearly insane and or not.

[01:33] Or he's professionally insane.

[01:36] >> Right.

[01:36] >> That's where it gets squirly.

[01:38] >> I almost texted you when the Charlie

[01:40] Kirk thing happened because my my

[01:43] antennas went up about they showed the

[01:45] photo of that kid or the guy that they

[01:46] have, the 22-year-old. Yeah. Whatever.

[01:49] >> And I was almost going to be like,

[01:50] "Dude,

[01:52] that you think he's got the capability

[01:53] to do that?"

[01:54] >> Yeah. Well, listen. There are people

[01:55] that look like that that have the

[01:57] capability to do that. Pretty accurate.

[01:59] >> Nope.

[01:59] >> Nope. Not hard. Not hard at all. Let me

[02:01] dispel that. Let me dispel that. Okay.

[02:04] 200 yards from a prone position with a

[02:07] dead-on rifle. So, if you have a dead-on

[02:09] rifle, so you set this rifle, you set

[02:12] your zero to 200 yards, right? You know

[02:14] how far you're going to shoot. Is not

[02:16] hard at all.

[02:17] >> He shot a lot.

[02:18] >> You don't have to shoot a lot. I could

[02:19] do it tomorrow.

[02:20] >> If you're a f No, but you are

[02:22] experienced. If it's a f if it's a

[02:23] someone that's never shot, could they do

[02:24] it?

[02:25] >> 100%. Not if they've never shot, they

[02:27] wouldn't know where to look. They'd have

[02:28] a hard time acquiring the the you know,

[02:31] like when you look through a scope, like

[02:34] the reticle is weird. Like it takes it's

[02:36] sometimes you got to know the distance

[02:38] that you have to be from it to really

[02:40] line it up in your sights.

[02:42] >> But you could get a guy like my friend

[02:45] Andy Stumpf, who was a a sniper in the

[02:48] SEALs. You could get him and he could

[02:50] show you how to do it in an afternoon

[02:52] and then you could hit steel at 200

[02:54] yards every time you pull the trigger.

[02:55] >> One day you could learn that.

[02:56] >> Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Not that hard.

[02:58] >> Cuz it feels insane to me. I'm like that

[03:00] seems tough.

[03:01] >> It seems tough. It seems tough. We still

[03:03] haven't figured out whether or not the

[03:05] gun that shot Trump had a sight on it

[03:08] cuz we weren't sure if it had a sight on

[03:10] it or if this guy was using iron sights.

[03:12] That was 140 yards. If you shot it with

[03:14] iron sights, that's a lot harder because

[03:16] iron sights is you're lining up. So you

[03:18] have these two things in the back and

[03:20] there's one thing at the front of the

[03:21] barrel and you got to line those [ __ ]

[03:22] up perfectly and that's how you stay

[03:24] accurate. That is a lot harder to do.

[03:26] >> It's like old shotguns have those,

[03:28] right?

[03:28] >> Sure. Pistols, you buy a Glock, that's

[03:31] what it comes with,

[03:32] >> right?

[03:32] >> But this this kid had a rifle with a

[03:35] scope. Now, here's where it gets weird.

[03:38] The first images of this rifle with a

[03:40] scope, I swear to God, it looks like he

[03:42] has a composite stock on it. like it

[03:44] looks like a like a modern 30 odd 6

[03:48] rifle. So a 30 odd six. So that's the

[03:50] rifle 30 odd 6 is like that looks like a

[03:53] very modern looking stock. I mean it

[03:56] might not be it might it might be just a

[03:58] bad resolution. It might be wood. It's

[04:01] hard to tell. But if you showed me that

[04:04] and you said, "Hey, this is my cousin's

[04:07] rifle. Is this any good?" I'd be like,

[04:09] "Looks like a standard boltaction rifle

[04:12] with like a sophisticated modern scope

[04:14] on it." Sure. Now, apparently the

[04:17] narrative is that this is his

[04:19] grandfather's rifle from World War I and

[04:22] doesn't have a serial code.

[04:26] >> Okay.

[04:27] >> Interesting.

[04:28] >> Okay. Why? Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[04:32] Why are you using such an old gun? Like,

[04:34] that's kind of crazy. Like, is it

[04:36] possible that an old gun can be that

[04:38] accurate? If you have a gunsmith and

[04:40] they work on it, yeah, it's totally

[04:42] possible. You have a really good

[04:43] gunsmith and he sets if you if you're

[04:45] like a nostalgic person, you're like

[04:46] driving an old car, you could bring it

[04:48] to a mechanic, they could redo the

[04:49] brakes.

[04:50] >> Sure.

[04:50] >> So, if you had a good gunsmith and he

[04:52] took a look at that and the action was

[04:53] true and you know, the b the bore is

[04:56] good. You know, yeah, you could

[04:58] conceivably shoot with a gun for

[04:59] hundreds of years, right? Guns don't

[05:01] they don't necessarily go bad,

[05:03] >> right? They don't expire,

[05:04] >> right? And especially because all this

[05:06] stuff like the trigger and the action

[05:08] and all that different stuff is

[05:10] replaceable. So you could just like it's

[05:11] comp it's compartmentalized. It's

[05:14] components. That's the other thing. They

[05:16] said that he took it apart and then put

[05:18] it back together again.

[05:21] Shut the [ __ ] up. Do you know how much

[05:23] time it would take to do that if you

[05:24] were highly skilled

[05:25] >> to disassemble a gun?

[05:26] >> To disassemble a rifle so that you can

[05:29] get it in a backpack. And by the way,

[05:31] not going to fit.

[05:32] >> Not going to fit. back

[05:33] >> and then somehow or another reconnects

[05:36] it once he gets off the roof. What

[05:40] >> What's that?

[05:40] >> That's a pitch. Is that what they

[05:41] pitched? Huh?

[05:42] >> Yeah. And then he's supposed to get it

[05:44] in that stupid [ __ ] backpack. It's

[05:46] literally It makes no sense.

[05:48] >> And the elevator music wasn't a nice

[05:50] touch, by the way.

[05:51] >> So, this is this is just a narrative,

[05:53] right? We watch a guy jump off the roof

[05:56] and then we we supposedly find this

[05:59] rifle. So, if you can have a guy that's

[06:02] in the audience that's yelling, "I shot

[06:04] him, now shoot me. I shot him, now shoot

[06:06] me." And then that guy gets arrested for

[06:09] child porn charges. Like, he's like,

[06:10] "What is what is going on here?" And

[06:12] then you find this rifle and then you

[06:13] say, "Oh, he assembled it and he

[06:15] reassembled it." Like,

[06:16] >> okay,

[06:18] >> a if I I wish I was a cop, I'd sit in

[06:21] the room like, "This story is horshit."

[06:23] Like, none of these none of these things

[06:24] make any sense to me. Like you're

[06:26] telling me that this kid who's not

[06:29] military trained, this guy, first of

[06:31] all, how did he get to the roof? How

[06:32] come nobody was looking? How come nobody

[06:34] was like there's a direct line of sight

[06:36] between where he's sitting and those

[06:37] roofs? You guys didn't check. You don't

[06:39] have a drone. Like that's insane. So

[06:42] he's on the roof. He shoots. He jumps

[06:45] from the roof. He jumps down 14 feet.

[06:48] >> Yeah, we saw they had Didn't they have

[06:49] video of him jump? Somebody had a cell

[06:51] phone video of him jumping.

[06:52] >> There's a video of him jumping. So this

[06:53] guy, whoever it is, jumps off of the

[06:55] roof and lands. Whether or not he's even

[06:56] the guy who shot him.

[06:58] >> Maybe he thought he was going to shoot

[07:00] him. Maybe he's a pathy. Maybe he did

[07:02] it.

[07:02] >> I feel like he's a plant. Did you see

[07:03] the video? Did you see the the person

[07:05] doing the investigating on his mom's

[07:06] Facebook?

[07:08] >> No.

[07:08] >> You haven't seen this? Have you seen

[07:09] that, Jamie? Some dude online.

[07:11] >> His mom's got a weird Facebook. Spill

[07:13] coffee.

[07:13] >> Very trippy. It doesn't make any sense.

[07:16] Like the more they keep looking into it,

[07:18] the more they're like, "This doesn't

[07:19] feel like a real

[07:21] >> it feels super fabricated."

[07:22] >> But here's the thing. Just like I was

[07:24] talking about when people are arguing on

[07:25] social media, it's all a part of the

[07:28] plan. If you want things to become

[07:30] >> Oh, I wanted it so bad. Buckets. That

[07:32] was buckets.

[07:33] >> If if you want people to to lose all

[07:37] faith that anyone is going to solve

[07:40] anything,

[07:41] >> you add a bunch of You're going to kill

[07:42] a guy. You got a bunch of other wacky

[07:44] [ __ ] that doesn't make any sense and you

[07:47] spam it out there at the same time. You

[07:49] leave a gun that didn't do it right

[07:51] >> out in the woods. You do a bunch of [ __ ]

[07:53] like that.

[07:54] >> You have an old man put his dick out and

[07:56] yell, "I did it. I did it. I did it."

[07:57] >> Yeah. You get some kid who has a

[08:00] boyfriend who's a furry and you uh you

[08:03] talk to him on Discord. I think he's a

[08:05] furry.

[08:05] >> I don't want to disrespect. I don't know

[08:06] if that's a real his boyfriend's

[08:09] definitely a guy who became a girl

[08:11] >> and wears furry stuff.

[08:12] >> I think they do furry sex. They I think

[08:15] or or furry games. Excuse me. My

[08:17] apologies. I don't want to disrespect

[08:18] the furry sex furry game community,

[08:21] >> bro. Shout out to the furries cuz me and
