The Charlie Kirk Exploding Lapel Mic Theory Debunked

Welcome back to the channel everybody and today we are going to cover one of the most viral theories out there regarding the Charlie Kirk case and that is the exploding lapel mic theory. Now upfront I want to tell you guys I'm not discounting basically anything at this point based off of how bad the information how crazy this entire thing has been. But with this one specifically there is some glaring issues with the plausibility behind it. Okay, scientifically through physics uh anatomically all these different things, right? So, that's what we're going to do in this video. I'm going to deep dive our way through this and see if we can come away together thinking, is this actually plausible or not? So, don't forget to like, comment, subscribe. Helps the channel. Let's jump into this thing. All right. First thing we're going to talk about is the equipment, the microphone itself. Because yes, there's some very very glaring issues just ballistically and through Newtonian physics with this idea that we had this uh lapel mic gun or explosion. All right, so that's what we're going to jump into first. All right, first thing we got to take a look at, of course, is the lapel mic itself. All right, these are just some things to keep in mind as we look at this lapel mic. It's obviously very, very small. That's going to be important because it has to have housed some type of projectile. I'll explain why in just a second. So, if you're talking about a projectile, something as small as maybe a 9 mil round, 22 round is really the only possibilities of something small enough to be housed inside this little lapel mic. Okay. Um, the reason we know it has to be a projectile is based off of the injury to Charlie Kirk. Okay. It couldn't have just been some type of explosive blast, seeing as that the lapel mic sitting on the right side of his upper chest here. If it was just some type of explosive device, it would have mangled the right side of Charlie Kirk's neck. But we actually don't see any damage at all to the right side of Kirk's neck. We just see what is assumed here to be the exit wound coming out the left side of this device. Okay, fair. So, we know it has to be a projectile. Well, if it's a projectile, this lapel mic has to house not only the projectile, but also the propellant to fire it, be it gunpowder, if it's an actual round or whatever is used. It also has to have some type of initiating device, a firing pin or something to cause the explosion. Not saying that this isn't possible or something scientifically out there that could do this. Who knows? We know about pager bombs, but pretty unlikely to house all that type of stuff. Okay. All right. So, is it possible that the lapel mic is housing some type of projectile to get fired? Sure, maybe. Let's let's say it's let's say that's plausible. Okay. Um, we also have to watch what happens when this thing supposedly goes off. This is sort of the biggest red herring of the entire theory. So, I want you to watch the direction the microphone moves. All right. As we freeze frame it here, we see the direction of the microphone moved in the direction of travel with the projectile. This is a huge, huge problem. Okay, just through physics. Now, a lot of people, we see the raising of the left side of the shirt. They think that has to be part of this uh blast. H not necessarily. We'll get to that uh a little bit later in the anatomy part of this video, but just the microphone itself, guys, let me talk about this just actual ballistics, okay? All right. Anytime a projectile is going to get fired, okay? It's being fired by some type of propellant, whether it be compressed air, gunpowder, etc., you're going to have an equal and opposite reaction, which is what we know as recoil, right? All right. For example, when I'm shooting a rifle and I shoot the round this way, the recoil comes this way. Okay? Same as, let's say, a pistol, the round fires this way, the slide gets pushed the opposite direction. This is just ballistic physics. That's what recoil essentially is. So the problem here that we see is the housing mechanism of where the blast propellant would have come from to fire that projectile does not move in an equal and opposite direction. What we should have seen is it blow off his shirt the opposite direction. Keep in mind this lapel mic is held on by either a little plastic clip or little magnet and you're talking about enough gunpowder or force or whatever to propel a bullet to cause that much damage. It would have ripped that microphone off his shirt and sent it way that way. At a minimum, it would have at least moved in the opposite direction. The fact the microphone moves with the projectile, it's just not really ballistically a thing. Okay. May again in the worlds of somehow somewhere maybe, but doesn't really make sense through just straight physics. All right. Next, let's talk about the idea of this is a exit wound, which it has to be because because of where the lapel mic is pointing, straight up the right side of his neck. Okay? There had to been some type of entrance wound for the bullet to come out the left side of his neck because the bullet's not going to fire, wrap around like the movie wanted, and come back in the other side of his neck, right? We can see that here. Um, there's some huge, huge problems with this as well. All right, first issue like let's see the way the mic is oriented. It is oriented technically in the right direction here potentially if there's a projectile, right? So, but it's got to hit him in the right side, right side of his neck. Okay, there's quite a few problems with this. All right, guys. So, let's talk about how anatomically this would have to work for the projectile to have done what it did in this theory. Okay, so as we have the lapel mic down here, obviously we have the actual, let's say, the exit wound, if that's what we're saying in this case, over here on the left side of the neck. This projectile again would have had to create an entrance wound on the right side. So, it would have had to come up this direction. As we can see, it's pointed hit some type of bone, whether it be his his neck, his jaw, something. All right. So, now that might sound plausible, but that's not really what bullets actually do when they refract. Okay? A bullet's not going to refract 90� and then keep its same force. If you think about it, bullets moving, let's say, 1,000 ft per second this way, it hits something. It's not going to do this and then continue straight down at the full speed. What it'll do is something more like this. So, as that round comes in and hits, it might get refracted in a change of direction here, here, up into the brain here. That is typically how a bullet would actually refract. Because if you think about, let's say we shoot at a steel plate, right? It hits the steel plate, the bullet isn't going to come flying back at you. That's just not how ballistic physics actually works. And another problem with this theory, let's say, let's say it's possible, okay? and it kind of breaks the laws of physics here and it refracts over 90� and comes back out. Um the issue we still have is we would see some type of entrance wound and we can very clearly see here nothing. There is nothing to the right side of his neck. Now you might say ah well maybe it's a little 22 round it would be hard to see. Eh maybe the problem is the trajectory of that is still shooting straight into the right side of the corateed. And I can promise you this corateed artery is so pressurized even an entrance wound had you penetrated through that corateed there's going to be blood. It might not be as vast as let's say an exit wound but an entrance wound to the corateed artery you very very clearly would have said blood come out the right side as well as that being the exit wound. All right. We can see very clearly by this still frame here. We have the exit wound. If that's what we're saying, this is no damage, no entrance wound, no nothing to the right side. Not in the corateed artery area, guys. That's not a thing. All right. Next big issue with this theory is the actual anatomy response. Okay, we have to assume that this is some type of small round to be able to fit in that tiny little lapel mic, right? It can't be some 5.56 round that's bigger than a lapel mic. It's got to be some type of lowc caliber round, a 22, 9 mil, something like that. Okay. The biggest problem with that is we actually see the physical effects on Charlie's neck uh called the temporary wound cavitation that are drastic that a 9 mil or a 22 round would not cause. So we'll take a look at that. All right, first really important still frame. Okay, as you see a lot of people were saying, well, because the shirt lifted up, that has to be it. Well, as you can see, the shirt's actually lifting up all the way around his neck. That's most likely being caused from that temporary wound cavitation, which you can see actually see his neck expanding. that caused what we initially didn't know was an earpiece, a microphone, a necklace. Uh, looks to be a necklace that he had on. And when that wound cavitation expanded in his neck, that necklace underneath his shirt blows off, which we do see here, we actually do see it break and leave out the back of his shirt, which does actually sort of explain sort of that cavitation and lifting up of the shirt as that snaps and blows off the back of his neck. All right, another still fame. Really good. You can see how thick his whole neck is as that wound cavitation is happening. Now, you might be thinking, well, why does that matter? That could that could get caused by a 22 round or a 9 mil round. Well, no, not really. And we'll look at this chart. All right, so really cool chart that actually shows the different type of wound cavitations each type of round does, right? And we had to assume it's got to be something small. So, we come down here into the range of 22, I think, is probably the only thing realistically that could actually fit in that tiny of a mic. But, let's say upwards of a 9 mil round, maybe if that was big enough. If you look at the actual wound cavitation from these two rounds, they're very, very small. Okay, same with the 9 mil and 22 even smaller. Now, when we get into these high-owered rifle rounds, you can see these wound cavitations are massive. And we can look at a demonstration of that right here. And this is actually just 5.56. We're not even looking at something like 300 6. And you can see the actual high-powered rifle wound cavitation. As you can see, giant cavitation, which is likely what we see in his neck there. All right. So, the cavitation effect we see on Charlie's neck almost guarantees us that it was most likely a high-powered rifle round of some sort. You know, 5.56, 300 Blackout, 762, 300 Win Mag, right? 308, 30 O 6. There's all sorts of different things that could potentially be there. Obviously, you get too high powered, then all of a sudden, no exit wound no longer makes sense. But again, that's just what we see from the actual uh anatomical effects on Charlie's neck, which a tiny little projectile like a 22 would not cause. All right, guys. Before we continue in that video, we give a shout out to today's sponsor, which is our partners at Tasty Gains Gummies. They've been my longest sponsor. Fantastic product, guys. If you are into fitness and working out or you want to get into it, you need to get your supplementation right. Creatine, by far one of the best supplements you can take. muscle development, muscle growth, muscle recovery, endurance, even cognitive effects on your brain. It's absolutely fantastic. And Tasty Gains now has a new product, creatine gummies for women. All right, great product. Mostly just creatine monohydrate, organic, and you don't have to drink shitty gritty creatine. So, link in the pin comment description. Go grab yourself some. Let's jump back into the video. Now, the other problem is is Charlie's response, right? he immediately goes into that decorticate posture which would signify he most likely has an injury to the cerebral cortex maybe the brain stem and so what that tells us is now we have to look it back at the actual uh ballistic anatomy chart here right what that tells us is we know this round would have had to have hit him somewhere to cause this type of damage uh again to the cerebral cortex or the brain stem which that means that round's going to have to come straight all the way up here right and then hit something that is going to refract it back down out of this way while at the same time causing that massive wound cavitation. Nothing about that with the lapel mic actually makes sense sort of through science and physics. Now, had we not seen, let's say, this exit wound down here on the lower part of the neck, and he actually just had that same response because, let's say, this blasted up this way and then went up into his brain like you would expect the refraction of the bullet to happen. Now, it makes sense based off the posture and the things that he does, but then no longer have the exit wound there. So, these kind of two things don't really work at the same time. All right, my next big issue with this one is the actual audio. Okay. Um, there's been a lot of audio testing done and most of those say they think it came from around 70 to 90 feet based off of what they could do. Who knows how accurate that is? And a lot of people have talked about where they thought this they heard the shot come from. Nobody that I've heard of those witnesses talk about thought or has said as far as I've seen that the sounded like the shot came from behind Charlie or in front of them. Right? If we're going to assume that Charlie's sort of at the very back here, everyone in the crowd would have heard that sort of gunshot. Although it wouldn't have been that loud of something like a 22 in the crowd, but most people have said it's either back right, behind them, wherever. Um, and you can hear a pretty loud gunshot. Sounds like a high-powered rifle round. So, you would have had to manufacture that audio of a high-caliber rifle round going off at the exact same time as this lapel mic going off, which I mean there is arguments to made be made based off of the bodyguard. We've seen that because yes, I know we've all seen this and it is very very sketchy. All right. Yes, that looks very very sketchy. I'll give it to you. doesn't necessarily mean there's anything nefarious, but when you compile it with the fact that these same people uh did not treat Charlie Kirk, and we know that now by this footage very clearly, we can see everyone who went to come and treat Charlie, including that same guy who apparently presses the device or it looks like it. Uh there's no blood on anybody's hands at all. You'll see everybody's hands at some point. No blood anywhere on anyone. And yeah, when we start looking at this type of footage, again, I'm not here to say that this is nefarious. If it's not nefarious, it's 100% incompetent. As you can see, you can see this other guy's hands, who should have been the one primarily over Charlie. Also, no blood. No blood anywhere on anyone. That to me is far more suspicious than this lapel mic theory. Um, the fact that it's very clear that no one attempted to stop the bleeding um with Charlie Kirk. I'd like to know why. I'm sure you guys would like to know why either. And again, I can watch that footage and and you can't tell me they did because I can barely clearly see. I know what it I know what happens when someone's shot, guys. I've treated people who've been shot in combat. And now you add the fact in it's an arterial wound. Blood literally would have been everybody everywhere. It would have been all over everyone. Charlie, everybody's hands. Everyone, anyone who had been anywhere near that would have been covered and there's not a speck of blood on anyone. that I think needs to be uh investigated much harder than some of these kind of wazoo theories. All right. Now, again guys, I'm not trying to burst any bubbles or anything like that by debunking things. I'm still open to any possibility even this maybe there's something woo technology-wise we don't know about. I don't know. But what I can say is when we see some type of theories like this and we can look at them and immediately identify massive glaring issues with just literal, you know, science and physics and things like that, we kind of have to, you know, take those things with a grain of salt. Again, you guys free to believe whatever you want. I don't know what to believe at this point. Again, the information's so bad. But if if I had to say of all the plausibilities out there, all the potentials of what's most likely for me, this one ranks way way way near the bottom below almost everything else. So, um, hope you guys found that interesting. If you got any, uh, other insights on that, let me know. And yeah, I will catch y'all in the next video.
