JP Reacts Exposes Ben Shapiro's Shocking Confession About Charlie Kirk Security Call
JP Reacts examines a bombshell revelation from Ben Shapiro's show where he admits his security team was in contact with Charlie Kirk's security team while Kirk was being transported to the hospital after being shot. This raises serious questions about why Kirk's security would prioritize calling Shapiro's team, staffed by former Israeli Defense Forces soldiers, during such a critical emergency. The disclosure has sparked intense speculation about potential Israeli involvement in Kirk's assassination, with Candace Owens demanding answers about who on Kirk's team made these calls and why.
Ben Shapiro's Unexpected Revelation
Ben Shapiro made a startling admission on his show that has sent shockwaves through conservative media circles. For the first time, Shapiro publicly acknowledged that while Charlie Kirk was in the back of a vehicle bleeding from a gunshot wound to the neck, Kirk's security team was on the phone with Shapiro's security team providing updates about the situation.
According to Shapiro, he was in Los Angeles having brunch when he received news that Kirk had been shot. He stated that his security was on the phone with Kirk's security "because nobody knew what the hell was going on" while Kirk was still in the vehicle being transported.
Questions About Security Protocol
The revelation has raised serious questions about why Kirk's security team would prioritize communicating with Shapiro's team during such a critical emergency. Standard protocol in an active shooter situation would typically involve focusing entirely on the victim's medical needs, coordinating with hospital staff, and assisting law enforcement—not providing updates to a media personality's security detail.
Shapiro's security team is reportedly composed of current and former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers, a fact that has intensified scrutiny given the ongoing speculation about potential Israeli involvement in Kirk's death. Critics are asking why, if everything was above board, would Kirk's security team be taking or making calls to anyone other than emergency medical services and law enforcement during those critical minutes.
The Israel Connection
The timing of this revelation is particularly significant given the broader context of Kirk's relationship with Israel in the period before his death. According to reports, Kirk had been losing pro-Israel donors after he stepped down from supporting the Israel cause. There were allegations that he had been on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who reportedly offered $150 million to get Kirk back on board, which Kirk refused.
Joe Kent, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has stated that his organization deemed there to be evidence worth investigating regarding foreign involvement in Kirk's assassination. However, according to Kent, FBI Director Kash Patel shut down those investigations before they could properly begin, preventing any thorough examination of potential Israeli involvement.
Candace Owens Demands Answers
Candace Owens has been particularly vocal in questioning this new information. She pointed out that Andrew Kolvet, who texted her at 12:40 p.m. Utah time saying he didn't know anything other than that Kirk had been shot, was apparently receiving updates after Shapiro's team. Kolvet was working closely with Kirk at Turning Point USA, making it strange that Shapiro would receive information before Kirk's right-hand man.
Owens has demanded to know specifically who on Kirk's security team was providing updates to Shapiro's IDF security personnel and why Shapiro was deemed significant enough for that information during the crucial minutes when the team should have been focused on saving Kirk's life, collecting evidence, or pursuing the shooter.
She also highlighted that Brian Harpole, one of the security members who was in the car with Kirk en route to the hospital, is currently suing her using Shapiro's lawyer—the same attorney who has sued her on Shapiro's behalf multiple times over the past three years. This connection has added another layer of suspicion to an already complicated situation.
Shapiro's Defense of Official Narrative
In his show, Shapiro attempted to address various questions surrounding Kirk's death, including claims about the lack of ambulance footage and hospital video. He explained that HIPAA and privacy laws block public release of hospital video and that visual timelines show Kirk's body being carried to a vehicle within minutes of being shot while he was still alive—information Shapiro claims to know only because his security was talking to Kirk's security in the car.
Shapiro defended the decision not to perform CPR on Kirk, stating that CPR doesn't help when someone is shot in the neck and bleeding out. He also explained that removing Kirk from the scene quickly was standard protocol for active shooter scenarios, as you don't want to leave someone's body exposed when there's still an active shooter.
However, critics point out that while these explanations may address some procedural questions, they don't explain why communicating with Shapiro's security team was prioritized during the emergency.
The Credibility Question
Some observers have speculated that Shapiro may have shared this information to establish his credibility on the Kirk case. By demonstrating his close connection to Kirk's security team, Shapiro may be attempting to position himself as an authoritative voice on what happened, thereby lending more weight to his support of the official narrative that Kirk was killed by a lone gunman with no Israeli involvement.
The revelation has created an uncomfortable optic for Shapiro, who is widely known as one of the most pro-Israel commentators in American media. His close relationship with Netanyahu, including having interviewed him and even suggesting that the citizenship-by-birth requirement for U.S. presidents should be waived for the Israeli Prime Minister, has made him a focal point for those questioning potential Israeli connections to Kirk's death.
Unanswered Questions
The disclosure raises several critical questions that remain unanswered. First, which specific member of Kirk's security team was in contact with Shapiro's team? Second, was the call initiated by Kirk's security or by Shapiro's security? Third, what was the stated reason for the communication? Fourth, what specific information was shared during these calls?
Without a full investigation that includes interviews with the security personnel involved, these questions will likely remain unanswered. However, the fact that investigations into foreign involvement were shut down by the FBI before they could be completed means that official channels for getting these answers may be closed.
The Broader Investigation
This revelation adds to a growing list of unusual circumstances surrounding Kirk's death. Questions have been raised about the lack of publicly available hospital footage, the rapid transportation from the scene, and the apparent lack of thorough investigation into potential foreign involvement despite initial indications that such an investigation was warranted.
The involvement of Shapiro's IDF-connected security team in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, combined with Kirk's reported conflict with pro-Israel donors and Netanyahu in the period before his death, has led many to call for a more thorough investigation into all aspects of the case, including potential Israeli connections.
Public Reaction
The internet response to Shapiro's revelation has been intense, with many expressing shock that Kirk's security team would prioritize communicating with Shapiro's team during such a critical emergency. The comparison has been made to calling a media personality's security detail while someone is actively bleeding out, rather than focusing exclusively on medical care and law enforcement coordination.
Critics have characterized the situation as highly suspicious at best, and potentially indicative of deeper connections between Kirk's security team and Israeli interests at worst. The fact that this information is only now coming to light, shared almost casually by Shapiro on his show, has added to the sense that there may be more to the story than has been publicly acknowledged.

Well, the Charlie Kirk murder case just
got even weirder and it involves Ben
Shapiro. Just imagine you're on Charlie
Kirk's security team. He's shot in the
neck. You take him to the car. You're
driving him to the hospital. He's
bleeding out. What goes through your
mind?
I know.
Let's call Ben Shapiro. Cuz that's
exactly what happened. Take a look.
>> The news that Charlie had been shot and
my security was on the phone with
Charlie's security cuz nobody knew what
the hell was going on. Well, Charlie was
still in the back of the car and we were
sort of getting updates.
>> For the first time ever, Ben Shapiro
just admitted that Well, take a look at
more of what he said and also I'm not
going to pussyfoot around. I'll share my
opinion on what suspicions this raises
in my mind. But first, welcome back to
the JP Reacts channel, my freedom-loving
friend. This is where we help spread the
light of truth and freedom because truth
conquers. So, our good friend Ben
Shapiro, do you know what country he
really loves?
Israel. I was already very suspicious of
Israel when it comes to the Charlie Kirk
murder case.
I'll [snorts] give you a quick summary
in a minute. This raises suspicions even
more. The internet is kind of like a
wildfire right now as Ben Shapiro just
dropped for the first time ever on his
show. Just casual mentions, yeah,
Charlie Kirk's bleeding out in the back
of the SUV. His security team was on the
phone with my security team giving me
updates. By the way, Ben Shapiro's
security team is made up of IDF
soldiers, former Israeli Defense Forces
soldiers.
Let's not think too much into that. Why
are you calling Ben Shapiro? You're not
even at the hospital yet. Why are you
calling Ben Shapiro's
security team made up of Israeli Defense
Forces veterans. Why? Oh, we'll
speculate on exactly why. We'll also see
speculation from Candace Owens. She's
uh very up in arms about this. What I
can definitely say is this is, at the
very least, weird. If you go one step
further,
it's very suspicious. This proves
nothing,
but it definitely raises suspicions. It
definitely is like this is weird.
So, Ben Shapiro, let's hear uh from him
exactly what he said. This is on his
show, and many are speculating he he
shouldn't have said this. This doesn't
It's not a good look for old Benny Boy.
There's two clips of him talking about
this, and there's a decent chance why he
would have talked about this is it gives
him more Charlie Kirk credibility. I'm a
friend of Charlie Kirk. I want the
official narrative on Charlie Kirk to be
believable, so I'll share this. I have
more Charlie Kirk credibility because
his security team was on my security
team, implies I'm super close to him.
And therefore, cuz I have more Charlie
Kirk credibility, you should listen to
me as I scream at you that you are a
lunatic if you believe anything other
than the official Charlie Kirk
narrative. Because the official Charlie
Kirk narrative
is it was a lone gunman, not uh any
Israel involvement. Now's a good time,
before we look at the two clips from Ben
Shapiro, to mention Joe Kent, former
Director of National Counterterrorism
Center. Uh before he stepped down from
the Trump administration,
uh he was
at his role uh the time Charlie Kirk was
assassinated. And Joe Kent said, "Yeah,
at the National Center for
Counterterrorism
we deemed there to be evidence worth
investigating of foreign involvement.
Well, everyone is a candidate to be
foreign involvement except the US.
Maybe not even that. Israel would be one
of those candidates, but Kash Patel at
the FBI shut down those investigations
into foreign involvement of Charlie
Kirk's assassination before they could
even start. Okay. And then also just
quick summary, Charlie Kirk was losing
donors after he
stepped down and say I can't support the
all Israel cause. He was losing
pro-Israel donors. Allegedly on the
phone with Netanyahu. Netanyahu saying
well, here's $150 million. Just get back
on board. And Charlie Kirk was saying
no.
So anyway, of course Israel should not
be remotely considered. So Charlie
Kirk's team
immediately wanted to call Israeli
Defense Forces veterans who are
they're linked to Israel. Use your
imagination. They wanted to call them
who are working with
pro-Israel one of the most pro-Israel
the most pro-Israel commentator you'll
find in the US, Ben Shapiro.
Why? Because Israel's not involved at
all. Okay, enough of the context. Let's
get to the two clips of Ben Shapiro.
Then we'll get to what some other people
are saying about this. Here's Ben
Shapiro.
>> They say that there was no ambulance at
the ready, no hospital footage of
Charlie arriving, and they say they did
not give Charlie CPR. Number one, HIPAA
and privacy laws block public release of
hospital video.
>> Thanks, Ben. That's not relevant here.
>> Second, there's visual timelines that
show Charlie's body being carried to a
vehicle within minutes of being shot.
Apparently, he was still alive at the
time. Again, I know that only because my
security was talking to his security in
the car.
>> Yeah, don't he's still alive.
Uh instead of trying to help him
call Ben Shapiro. Should you call the
hospital? Let No, call Ben Shapiro's
security team.
Okay, Ben?
>> Again, that is standard for active
shooter scenarios because
>> What's not standard is calling Ben
Shapiro's security team when a guy's
apparently still alive but shot in the
neck.
He's talking about like CPR isn't
standard if a guy's bleeding out. Fair
enough.
>> don't want to leave somebody's prone
body out there when there's an active
shooter who's still shooting people.
And as far as the CPR claim, you may
have noticed he was shot in the neck and
was bleeding out. CPR doesn't help you
if you are shot in the neck and bleeding
out. That's not how CPR works.
>> Do you know what else doesn't help you?
Calling Ben Shapiro's security team when
you're in an emergency situation of
someone bleeding out. So, why did they
call [laughter] Ben Shapiro's security
team?
Okay, we'll speculate on why in just a
second, but first here is the second
clip of Ben Shapiro confirming Charlie's
security team was prioritizing calling
Ben's security team.
>> I remember where I was when all this is
happening. I was in Los Angeles. I had
sort of a breakfast {slash} lunch
meeting with
>> It's brunch. What Ben's saying is he's
gay. He's eating brunch.
>> somebody and my I got the news that
Charlie had been shot and my security
was on the phone with Charlie's security
cuz nobody knew what the hell was going
on while Charlie was still in the back
of the car and we're sort of getting
updates along the way.
At 2:40 p.m.
>> Why is it important to give Ben Shapiro
updates? Now, first you have to put
yourself in the
shoes of Charlie's security.
If you're just on the up and up,
you know, your guy is shot, you
objectively failed your job. You're
security. This couldn't have been worse.
Like this is what you're supposed Your
one job is to prevent what just
happened. But, things happen. So, let's
just say Ben's security team
is calling you. What do you do?
Well, I'm probably not going to take
that call.
Right now, as I'm recording this video,
if my phone vibrates,
I'm not going to take the call cuz I'm
deeming what I'm doing to be more
important than taking a call. If it's my
lady, I'm not taking the call. If it's
my mom, I'm not taking the call. Now, if
they call twice within span of a minute,
I might be like
maybe something's going on. I'll take
the call.
So, I'm not trying to save someone's
life. I'm just making a video, and
there's no call I'm going to take
because what I'm doing is more
important. Now, just imagine it's not a
video. It's like a guy is bleeding out.
He's shot in the neck.
What in the world is going to be so
important that taking that call
is your priority in the situation? Well,
there's not much
if you're on the up and up.
Like if cool, if you phone the hospital
and now they're calling you back, cool.
Yeah, that's probably like take that.
Like they they need to know you're
coming.
Cool. We
We're going to the south entrance.
Great. We'll be at the south entrance.
So, we have to use our imaginations.
Because the first scenario is what's
more important if you're on his security
team and everything's on the up and up.
So, now we have to use our imaginations
and say, "Let's imagine things aren't on
the up and up."
Is there a reason to either take the
call from
pro-Israel Zionist Ben Shapiro's
security team, or is there a reason
to call his security team, whether
you're
phoning them or receiving their call?
Okay, let's just say
what you care about is Israel. And this
is a little bit connected to Israel.
What's the status of this operation? You
mean assassination? No, in this
scenario, we're calling it an operation.
What's What's the status? We need to
know cuz this is what happened is
important. Not for his life. We just
need to know
for the sake of the
Israel cause.
So, we'll get back to the video in a
second, but first
how's your life been lately?
Truly, does it feel like a never-ending
hustle, juggling a list of
responsibilities, never-ending to-dos?
Life can be overwhelming sometimes in
today's world. Stress has a way of
slowly creeping in, and over time that
can place extra demands on key nutrients
like magnesium, which is a vital mineral
your body depends on. It's often called
the vicious stress-magnesium
cycle. Have you heard of it? In simple
terms, stress increases, then your body
uses more magnesium, then sleep might
feel harder to come by, your energy
might dip, and stress feels higher.
Which can then increase your body's
demand for magnesium even more. That's
the bad news. But listen up, here's the
good news. I found a game-changer, and
it's Magnesium Breakthrough from
BiOptimizers. Magnesium Breakthrough
contains seven forms of magnesium
formulated to support relaxation, muscle
comfort, nervous system balance, and
healthy sleep. I take it, and the reason
why I've been taking it religiously for

Now back to the video. Before we get to
Candace Owens, what she has to say about
this, let me just share my
blatant, unapologetic thoughts. I think
this makes it look more suspicious that
Israel was involved in the Charlie Kirk
assassination. Should I sugarcoat that
more?
Less? I think it makes it more
suspicious that Israel was really
involved.
And it makes I'm not
I'm not saying he was.
What I'm saying is it makes Ben Shapiro
look like he was either involved or had
knowledge of, which
makes him involved. That this is an
Israel's situation. No, but lawyers
hi. I'm not saying he was. It makes him
allegedly look like he was involved.
That's the look. Looking at the optic
here.
Not making accusations. I'm saying
this is how it looks.
So, I don't think it's a good look to
look like this. And I also don't think
it's good if Israel was involved. Now
lawyers, I know. I know. It's It would
be great It would be better to say I
don't think Israel was involved at all.
And I could sit here and say that if Joe
Ken and the National Center for
Counterterrorism was allowed to do their
investigation before Kash Patel and the
FBI prohibited them and they they did
the investigation and ruled Israel out.
But they weren't allowed to do that
investigation to either say well,
there's evidence of Israel involvement
or to say there is not evidence of
Israel involvement. So, I am saying it
looks like Israel is even more
suspicious now here with Ben Shapiro
sharing this
revelation that he's sharing for the
first time and the fact that he is so
tied in he has connection to Netanyahu.
He's interviewed him. He's gone on
record saying he thinks the the the
citizenship by birth
US president requirement should be
waived for Netanyahu.
I am saying it looks like Israel is more
suspicious and makes it look like Israel
is even more involved in the Charlie
Kirk assassination than I thought they
were before.
It's not sugarcoated at all at this
point. Okay, then before we get to what
Candace Owens has to say, first let's
check in with the Babylon Bee Bee.
And here's the scenario. Charlie shot
carrying him to the SUV. Should we call
911? No, but get Ben Shapiro on the line
right away. Yep.
That's how absurd this is. Okay, so
let's go through
some of Candace's thoughts on this. She
is
pretty suspicious. Breaking news, Ben
Shapiro just confessed on his show that
while Charlie was being transported to
the hospital and bleeding out to death,
his security was on the phone with
Charlie's security receiving updates. I
knew it. Someone explain to me why
during the minutes while Charlie was
dying in the backseat of the car,
Charlie's security team was providing
updates to Ben Shapiro's team rather
than focusing entirely on saving
Charlie's life and finding the killer. I
will remind you that Brian Harpootlian,
one of the security members who was in
the that car in route to the hospital is
currently suing me and is using Ben
Shapiro's lawyer who has sued me
relentlessly on Ben's behalf for the
last 3 years. That's also
a weird
further weirdness in that. Ben Shapiro
hated Charlie. Everyone knew that. Uh
again, this is Candace's words. I'm not
verifying or un-verifying anything
Candace is saying. I'm saying this is
what Candace said. Ben Shapiro hated
Charlie. Everyone knew that. So, why the
hell was this demon receiving updates in
the mere minutes after Charlie was hit
and route to the hospital? Who on
Charlie's security team betrayed him in
this way? Fair question. We can take the
emotionality out of this and, you know,
take the word betrayed out of this and
just ask the very valid question, who on
Charlie's security team was
calling Ben Shapiro's security team?
That's a fair question. And if we're
after a
full investigation
of Charlie Kirk's murder, we would be
very fair to ask that individual why
they were calling Ben Shapiro's security
team. Are you saying you're suspicious
of that security team member? Yeah,
that's exactly what I'm saying.
So, questioning him as to why he's
calling Ben Shapiro's security team.
Yeah,
and I would imagine the guy would lie.
But, like
let's ask him. Okay. And Candace goes on
for a little bit. Concluding here, Ben
Shapiro is satanic. Everything in my
soul tells me he worships Satan,
literally. Well, he does seem to worship
Netanyahu, so
kind of checks out. We need to find out
exactly who on Charlie's team betrayed
him by providing immediate updates to
this parasite. Yeah, so
just being logical, yes, it's very very
very fair to ask
demand who on Charlie's team was
providing the updates to of all people
when the guy's bleeding out Ben
Shapiro's security team. Who? And then
once we find the who, we ask him why.
That is very fair. Now in another post,
Candace says a few things. We'll go
through some of them. Uh Candace starts
off "Wake up Andrew Kolvik." So Andrew
is the super creepy guy who I don't
trust any more than I trust a porcupine
to give me a nice hug. He is a super
creepy guy who is now running the
Charlie Kirk show, betraying Charlie's
legacy in many ways.
Makes me
sus-
suspicious. Suspicious that the guy has
suspicious character. Not accusing him
of anything other than having character
that rubs me the wrong way. "Wake up
Andrew Kolvik, we need another
manufactured lie from you to clear this
up." says Candace. "You texted me at
12:40 p.m. Utah time and told me that
you didn't know anything other than that
Charlie had been shot.
Can you tell us why Ben Shapiro was
seemingly receiving updates before you?"
You know, so Andrew's
working hand in hand with Charlie at
TPUSA. So why is Ben Shapiro getting
updates from Charlie's security before
Charlie's right-hand man? It's a good
question. And did I mention that Ben's
security team is current?
Oh, current and former IDF Israeli
Defense Forces. I know this because I
used to work at The Daily Wire, Andrew.
Can you let us know who on Charlie's
security team was available to provide
instant updates to an IDF security
attaché
and why Ben Shapiro was deemed
significant enough for that information
during the crucial minutes
when they should have been focused on
saving his life, collecting evidence and
or pursuing his alleged killer or
killers. Weird time to take a phone call
from Ben Shapiro's IDF Israeli Defense
Forces security team. Now,
wake up Judas, we want answers. Yeah,
when Ben provided that figurative 30
pieces of silver and publicly pledged to
give you guys $1 million a couple days
later on Charlie's set, how did you and
Blake Neff feel? How does that money
How does money like that feel, Andrew?
Yeah, so she goes on and
paints a picture. So, these uh questions
arise
because Ben Shapiro
pro-Israel Zionist
which by the way, Charlie was very
threatening to that cause as he was
saying, I can't
I can't support the pro-Israel cause
anymore.
So, Charlie was very threatening to that
cause. Ben is very much that cause.
Israel
is very much that cause. Netanyahu very
much that cause. And the guy very much
that cause, Ben Shapiro,
who's surrounded by Israeli Defense
Force soldiers
getting calls from a guy on Charlie's
team as Charlie's well, shot and
bleeding out, shall we say, makes it
look like Israel was really involved.
So, therefore these questions arise and
they could be answered in ways that
maybe disprove those suspicion
suspicions. They could be answered
honestly
theoretically honestly in ways that
confirm those suspicions.
And by the way,
if Israel was involved, you're not going
to get honest answers.
Or they they could be answered with lies
that look like lies, and therefore the
suspicions are further suspicionized.
Either way, end of the day, with Ben
Shapiro jumping on his show, just
casually mention, "Yeah, Charlie's
security team on the phone with my
security team as Charlie's in the back
of the car bleeding out." Is a bit of a
bombshell because it makes it really
look like Israel was involved.
That's how it looks. Anyway, let me know
what you think about this in the
comments below, and I'll look forward to
seeing you on our next video. Till then,
stay free.
