Summary
Charlie Kirk's assassination sparked an explosion of conspiracy theories. Many of those claims, amplified by Candace Owens, have accused eyewitnesses, Charlie's friends, and even TPUSA of participating in a massive cover-up.
In this episode, Frank Turek responds directly.
Frank was with Charlie the day he was murdered. He rode with him to the hospital. He has also become one of the primary targets of these accusations.
We examine the biggest claims one by one:
Was there really drone footage?
Did Frank change his story about his cell phone?
Did he perform CPR?
What does credible eyewitness testimony actually look like?
Why should Christians care about conspiracy theories?
This conversation goes beyond one tragic event. It's about truth, evidence, discernment, and the biblical responsibility to reject slander, baseless accusations, and defend those who are being unjustly attacked.

| 0:00.0 | In a couple of months, it will have been a year since the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, an event that has become the focus of several conspiracy theories, largely coming through the platform of Candace Owens. |
| 0:21.4 | And today we're going to be talking with Frank Turrick to set the record straight. |
| 0:25.8 | Frank was a friend and mentor of Charlie's. |
| 0:27.8 | He was with Charlie on the day that he died. |
| 0:30.5 | He was in the van on the way to the hospital, was with Charlie's friends and family. |
| 0:35.1 | And since the event, he's been interviewed on various media outlets, |
| 0:38.9 | always preaching the gospel because that's who he is, and sharing the story of what he experienced |
| 0:44.1 | that horrible day. He's also been the target of Candace Owens, who has accused him of lying and |
| 0:49.6 | implying that he's part of a larger conspiracy to betray and ultimately to kill Charlie Kirk. |
| 0:56.6 | So was there drone footage the day of the event or not? And if not, why did Frank say that |
| 1:02.3 | there was? Did he really perform CPR on Charlie? And what is being said about his cell phone? |
| 1:08.4 | We're going to talk about all of it today. I really want to |
| 1:11.2 | encourage you, please be praying for Frank and his family who are now receiving death threats |
| 1:15.8 | over this, and also be praying for Erica Kirk, her children, her family, who have been just |
| 1:21.5 | abused publicly since Charlie was murdered. It's so sad to me that we even have to do an episode |
| 1:27.1 | like this, |
| 1:27.8 | but I hope you'll find this episode clarifying. And I would encourage everyone to seek truth |
| 1:33.6 | always. We're going to talk about the hallmarks of true eyewitness testimony and why Christians |
| 1:39.5 | should care about the conspiracy theories that are being promoted by Candice Owens. And with that, I'll take you to |
| 1:45.2 | my conversation with Frank Turrick. Well, Frank, always great to have you on the show. We're going to be |
| 1:50.4 | talking with you and Phoenix Hayes about your upcoming book, The War on Reality, in an episode |
| 1:55.0 | coming up soon. But I wanted to just acknowledge that the first chapter of that book is all about |
