A Compelling Reason to Conclude an Exploding Microphone Killed Charlie Kirk

The exploding microphone theory has now received recognition from the podcaster with the largest audience of all independent journalists investigating the Charlie Kirk assassination: Candace Owen, who has 6 million followers on YouTube. The theory Jon Bray began to formulate on X two weeks after Kirk’s murder on September 10, 2025 contends a shaped charge in Kirk’s RODE microphone clipped to his t-shirt caused a projectile to accidentally propel into and then fall out of his neck. This made the same wound an entry and exit wound. The assassins’ plan gone awry, he says, was for the device to shock Charlie’s heart and kill him while simulating a gun shot to his chest. Bray has been expounding on his theory with exhaustive technical detail ever since.

I had watched every one of Owens’ podcasts since Charlie’s murder until last month. I grew impatient. I could not understand why she was not exploring how Kirk had been killed. Her only mention of the exploding microphone theory was in a podcast months ago when, in response to a viewer’s question, she acknowledged that it had a lot of credibility. I knew not too long ago she was aware of the theory and the possible Israeli connection to it when, during an interview, independent journalist Blake Bednarz revealed text messages Candace had sent him two weeks after the assassination acknowledging the theory and Israel’s possible involvement. Owens admits she avoided discussing the theory on her show until now because she was not comfortable with the technical expertise required to understand it.

But now she has addressed Bray’s theory in a very powerful episode and states this explanation makes far more sense than the official narrative, or fed slop as she calls it, that Kirk was killed by a 30-06 bullet shot from a rifle by Tyler Robinson. She shows her audience the photos of the backseat of the SUV Kirk was transported in from the UVU campus to the hospital where shards of glass from the exploded microphone are seen scattered on the floor. Bray told her this was compelling evidence that corroborated his theory. She also explains how the SUV was scrubbed and sold shortly after the assassination instead of being preserved by law enforcement as evidence of the crime. She also explains how the grass beneath where Charlie was killed was within days paved over with concrete to conceal any trace chemical particles of the exploded microphone rather than being protected as a crime scene.
