The Stack: Chasing Truth after the Charlie Kirk Assassination
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has shaken the conservative movement and fueled a storm of conspiracy theories. In this episode, Todd honors Kirk’s legacy as a bold defender of truth while unpacking the swirl of narratives surrounding his death — from government “deep state” theories to foreign interference and false flag speculation.
Todd emphasizes discernment: some conspiracies have uncovered truth, but many lead only to confusion, distraction, or outright lies. He also reminds listeners to show empathy for Kirk’s widow Erika and Turning Point USA, warning against dehumanizing opponents online or turning tragedy into entertainment.
More than anything, this episode is a call to courage — to stand for truth without bitterness, to refuse gullibility, and to carry on the work of engaging culture with clarity and conviction. As Todd notes, Charlie Kirk’s courage left a mark. The question is: will ours?

📝 Transcript: Chasing Truth after the Charlie Kirk Assassination
The Todd Huff Show – October 2, 2025
Host: Todd Huff
TODD HUFF: Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff show, America's home for conservative, not bitter. Talk and education. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism and listening may cause you to lean to the right.
TODD HUFF: And now, coming to you from the Full Suite Wealth studios, here's your conservative but not bitter host Todd Huff.
TODD HUFF: Well, that is right, my friends, you have tuned in to America's home for conservative, not bitter talk. I'm your host, the one and only, the eversource, beloved Todd Huff. It is my pleasure and honor to be here with you today. Thank you so much for tuning in.
TODD HUFF: I want to talk a little bit here today about what is popularly referred to as conspiracy theories. This, by the way, is a term that the CIA, the FBI developed to try to discourage people from some of these ideas and so forth after the Kennedy assassination.
TODD HUFF: As I get things squared up here, I want to talk about this today specifically in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, because there are lots, lots of conspiracy theories out there. And I want to handle this with gentleness. He was only assassinated three weeks ago, and there are some terrible and horrific things being said about him, about his family, about his wife, who's now assumed responsibility and control over Turning Point USA.
TODD HUFF: Some people are saying that's evidence of something. I just want to say up front, I'm not saying I agree with any of these. But there's a lot to discuss, and the only way to discuss it is to get into it.
TODD HUFF: What I want to get to today is this: I want to start by first honoring the life, the message, the leadership, and the effectiveness of Charlie Kirk. Because anytime you talk about competing theories and strong emotions, along with distrust for our government, the media, and the evil in the world — you have people who are confused, others who are looking for entertainment, which is perhaps the most atrocious thing. But nonetheless, I want to do this the right way today.
TODD HUFF: My friends, you know that one of the biggest challenges we as conservatives have is finding ways to ensure that our values align with the things that we do, with the way we live our life, including how we invest our money. That's why I love what the team at Four Eight Financial is doing. They specialize in what they call biblically responsible investing.
TODD HUFF: Let that term sink in for a moment, because that's pretty important. We want to be consistent with what our faith requires of us, right? I mean, we're saved by grace, through faith. But the Bible also says if you love me, you will keep my commandments, and we don't want to be funding those things that go against the commandments of Christ, the teachings of the Bible.
TODD HUFF: And so Four Eight Financial screens out companies that do not align with your faith, with your values — so that you're not funding those things that go completely against what you believe in. They do the heavy lifting. It's simple on your side: all you have to do is go to FourEightFinancial.com.
TODD HUFF: Todd again. Four Eight Financial. That's the number four, the number eight, financial Todd. There's an assessment tool there. You fill that assessment tool out. It tells you to what degree or if your current investments are in alignment with your beliefs. You get a report back, and then you can decide what, if anything, you're going to do from there.
TODD HUFF: Four Eight Financial — because your money should work for your values.
TODD HUFF: All right, I want to start here by saying to you that I just want to take a moment since we're talking about Charlie Kirk. This is a sensitive topic. This is still a fresh situation — a wound that has far from healed, especially for those closest to Charlie Kirk.
TODD HUFF: And I want to be empathetic. I want to be empathetic about this. Now, I know Charlie Kirk actually well, he talked about empathy and sympathy. He said empathy is kind of a made-up, new age sort of term.
TODD HUFF: Because we can't feel what other people are feeling. That's correct. I want to be clear that that's not what I mean by that. Sympathy means feeling sorry for the person who's going through something, and you can certainly have sympathy.
TODD HUFF: Empathy is a little bit different in my understanding, in the sense that you just try to put yourself in their shoes. It's not that you can, but you try to understand. Knowing that you're never going to fully comprehend it, but just try to relate to what's going on there.
TODD HUFF: And that's what I try to do here when I think about Erika Kirk, when I think about Turning Point USA, when I think about some of the things that are coming out of the Turning Point camp, and some of the things that are being said by friends of Charlie Kirk and everything else.
TODD HUFF: This is a terrible, terrible time. People trying to make sense of this, the loss of a young man who was nowhere near his prime. As far as how influential he was. Don't misunderstand me, but how much even more influential he could be if he was allowed. If this lunatic assassin didn't fire the shot.
TODD HUFF: So he had a tremendous impact on the youth, but not just on the youth — across a broader conservative movement in this country. And then the three, three and a half weeks since his assassination. I mean, it's impacted me.
TODD HUFF: I didn't follow — I said on this program before, I don't follow anyone closely. I'm aware of people in the movement. I basically try to stay in my own lane, so this is not in the slightest meant to be disrespectful or a slight to Charlie Kirk.
TODD HUFF: I probably saw more of his stuff — as I think about this, it's probably true — than anyone else. And I particularly, well, I would never listen to a podcast or radio show because of just what I do. I want to keep mine as its own thing. I don't want outside influences even to just subtly or almost subconsciously impact the way that we go about things here.
TODD HUFF: But I did watch a lot of the clips from his debates. He was very good at this, very engaging. He's been called a lot of things that he never should have been called. I hear it every day on social media, and it's reprehensible. It's truly, truly disgusting.
TODD HUFF: And the bottom line here is that we all can learn from the model of Charlie Kirk, and we all need to stand up courageously in whatever sphere of influence or circle that we have. Whatever that looks like — whether that's in the workplace, the home, the community, whether you're someone who's on a school board, a teacher, whether it's in the workplace, maybe you're a public official — I don't know, but we all have to stand up for truth.
TODD HUFF: And to confront the evils. Charlie Kirk confronted evil many times. Not every disagreement is good and evil, right? I mean, there are disagreements we can just have about preferences. But a lot of things that Charlie Kirk dealt with on college campuses — many of the things — were him staring evil in the eye.
TODD HUFF: Some of these things that were said — and for people who do this, who go to college campuses and who engage anywhere there's a group of people — you're going to encounter things that are sometimes purely evil. And he dealt with that.
TODD HUFF: And I think his courage, his approach, his tact, his patience, his willingness to engage, his willingness to sit there as people maligned him and called him all sorts of names — is something we could all take a page from that playbook.
TODD HUFF: Here, we're conservative, not bitter. We don't scream, we don't yell, we don't malign the other side. We speak the truth as best as we can understand it and communicate it in love here. And I would say that's what Charlie Kirk did very, very effectively.
TODD HUFF: But since his passing, since his assassination, since he was murdered — it's impacted the way that I think as well, and I've shared this briefly. I don't want to make this about me. I'm just telling you, I think we all should take inventory like this.
TODD HUFF: It's caused me to say, look, there's some things that we want to do differently and more proactively. In fact, I've invited more people onto this program. Even people who are not necessarily big names, but people who have strong opinions, who say some truly vile and disgusting things.
TODD HUFF: I've invited two members of Congress here. I had a notice pop up on my phone here. But two people running for Congress that have said some atrocious things. I invited them both on the program — both mocking, or one was mocking the death of Charlie Kirk, the other one just said some things that I think crossed the line. And of course, they don't want to come on here.
TODD HUFF: They don't want to come on here. They say they want to come on here until the time comes, and then they don't. The same is true for the big mouth people on social media who have some very strong feelings, and they're all in their feels. They say things — I say, hey, man, why don't you come on this program and discuss it? Crickets. Truly crickets.
TODD HUFF: They don't want the debate. They want you to shut up. They don't want to hear about truth. They want to enjoy — I would say — the godless lifestyle and the godless beliefs that they have, where it puts them at the center of the universe. They don't like this idea of absolute truth and justice and the idea that there is a God. They don't like the conservative principles and values.
TODD HUFF: They don't want to be confined or restrained in any way whatsoever. They want to do whatever it is that they want to do. And to one degree, as a person who believes in freedom, I say that's fine. But in another sense, if you want to use your freedom to live a life of evil, that does impact people.
TODD HUFF: And you'll forgive me if I have things to say about that. You'll forgive me if I call that out. The Founders talked about this. To use your freedom to do things that are immoral and wicked — it's going to have an impact on our society.
TODD HUFF: That's our job, my friends. Our job is to confront this stuff in the marketplace, in the public square. And to engage in this sort of behavior, to teach our children, the next generation, moral values — give them a moral compass that actually points in the right direction so that they can keep these sorts of things from becoming prevalent in society, becoming accepted in society.
TODD HUFF: It's one thing if individuals choose to use their freedom to do things that are wicked or sinful. It's another for society to give its stamp of approval, and that's the direction that we're headed in many, many instances.
TODD HUFF: And so we have to get the message outside of the conservative bubble, so to speak. So when you have a conservative talk show and a podcast, I want to get outside of that. I want to find where these folks are. I want to engage with them.
TODD HUFF: I don't want to be like them. Now, some of them can get — not the left, not the godless radical left — but many on the political left, those Democrats and even liberals, they can have rational discussions with you, and I welcome that. I welcome those on the left to move back towards reality and morality too. But we have to accept the reality that we live in.
TODD HUFF: But nonetheless, it's caused me to reflect. I think it should cause all of us to reflect and think about how we go about things and prioritize the things that we do, how we communicate and so forth.
TODD HUFF: So I've mentioned that I'm going to be more proactive here in getting truth outside — not just the podcast here, but also to be more proactive. And we're looking for ways to do that.
TODD HUFF: Now, I want to transition here. I want to transition from that to say that there are some conspiracy theories concerning his death. There's a lot of them, and I just want to touch on them. And I want to talk about conspiracy theories in general. Some of my thoughts on this — some of these I've had for a long time. So we'll get to that here, my friends, in just a moment.
TODD HUFF: One of the partners of this program is MyPillow. They've been a partner of ours for about — well, I tell you what. Has it been a couple of years now, Oz? Two and a half years, I think.
TODD HUFF: MyPillow.com is where you can go to find products ranging from their original MyPillow to some of the other products, like sheets and towels and MyPillow slippers and all those sorts of things. They've got a wide variety of products made here in the USA, made by a patriot, a guy who loves this country, pushing, my friends, in the same direction that you and I are — Mike Lindell.
TODD HUFF: MyPillow.com, promo code Todd, is going to save you on their products. They've got a big sale there as well that you can check out. MyPillow.com, promo code Todd, will get you the savings on probably every product. But I always say just about every product, just because there could be something that's not on sale or doesn’t have a discount with my name Todd. So MyPillow.com, promo code Todd.
TODD HUFF: All right, now let's move here a little bit into the conspiracy theories that are out there. And the only reason — it's been three weeks, so the initial shock has passed. We're in this period of grief, making sense of this, determining, especially those that are closest to Charlie Kirk, what to do next, right?
TODD HUFF: Erika Kirk, his wife, now widow, has taken over the reins of Turning Point USA. And some people criticize that. I just think you’ve got to be really careful with that. Some people criticize the way that she conducted herself at his memorial and so forth. I don't want to venture anywhere near that. She is a grieving widow.
TODD HUFF: None of us know what we would do in that particular situation. And I think in her case — and again, this is not about me — but I try to say, okay, let's say that we develop something. He has an organization, not just him having a show or something. He had an organization.
TODD HUFF: And if you realize, if you believe in what he was saying, as Erika Kirk does — what Charlie Kirk was out there doing — and if you see the impact, and if you come to the conclusion that he was murdered, assassinated, for sharing those beliefs, and that those beliefs that he's out there sharing are critical in saving this great nation… what do you expect her to do? Just to walk away?
TODD HUFF: Some people say, well, that's what a grieving widow would do. But I say, how do you know that? It bothers me when people are overly critical of her, and I think a lot of it is because some people want there to be some sort of conspiracy to this story.
TODD HUFF: I neither want it nor don't want it. I want the truth, that's what I want. If you're a seeker of truth, you found the right place, because that's what I want. I want to get the truth. In fact, the mission of this program is to help people hear and receive truth.
TODD HUFF: I've said before, it's not that we've got it all figured out. Though I certainly understand why you might think that we do here on this program. But the truth is, when you discover truth or have truth revealed to you, it's important that we share that and pass that on to the next generation.
TODD HUFF: I've said that before. Because truth, if not shared, will be filled — that creates a vacuum. If the truth is not embraced and shared and accepted, the truth will be replaced, make no mistake about it, by some form of a lie. And they've been incredibly successful.
TODD HUFF: And I commend her for taking the reins of this. I know a lot of people want there to be something else or think there's something else to this story. Maybe she just believes in the mission. I don't know. That seems like a logical explanation to me, but I want to go through this.
TODD HUFF: I want to go through a couple of things first. So I want to recognize that a lot of people who embrace a conspiracy theory — what's called a conspiracy theory — are searching for truth.
TODD HUFF: There's certainly a chunk of those people who just want the truth. And they realize that they've been lied to for a long time by our government, by our media, by the seven pillars of propaganda, and they know to some extent that they're never going to really know. And so that's troubling. And so they begin to look other places and they begin to hear these theories that people have come up with.
TODD HUFF: Now, some conspiracy theories in recent history have been accurate. Some have been completely insane. And so it's not as though — look, a conspiracy theory, my friends, is really when two people, when someone comes up with an explanation for something that happened that requires the cooperation or the working together of multiple people.
TODD HUFF: And so I know it's used in a derogatory fashion to kind of say, you're a kook and so forth. Think — there certainly are conspiracy theories that are kooky. I think that there are conspiracy theories that may hold plausible explanations for things and everything in between. Context, as you have heard me say on this program countless times, context is king. Context matters.
TODD HUFF: And so conspiracy theories have exposed truth before in this country. Conspiracy theories have also led people the farthest point away from truth. So what matters is the particular context.
TODD HUFF: I think we should be discerning here. I think we should not be gullible and believe anything that our ears hear or that we see on social media or some such thing, even if it's from somebody that we have developed respect for or someone with the big name. Some of these podcasts now are strictly just conspiracy theory stuff.
TODD HUFF: And I think — well, I'll talk about that, I guess, in a moment. But you don't want to be gullible. You don't want to mock people who are pursuing an avenue or a possible explanation for something. We just want discernment and we want truth. So I'm going to do my best here to present — I'm not going to say comprehensive — but a list of the theories that exist out there just in three, three and a half weeks since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
TODD HUFF: Here's just a — I'm not going to be able to get through all these before the break. I've just got about two minutes here. But some believe that Israel and the Mossad — their, I guess, version of the CIA — are involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. So some tie this to anti-Israel or anti-Semitic narratives.
TODD HUFF: What's even crazier is that the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, himself directly addressed this theory, calling it a monstrous big lie. So there are people out there that think Israel and the Mossad had a hand in the assassination, the murder of Charlie Kirk.
TODD HUFF: Some believe that the U.S. government did or that someone in the deep state did, or that there are rogue elements within our government that did. And there's, again, as many theories as you can probably imagine here, but some of these theories believe that elements within the U.S. government orchestrated the assassination to silence Charlie Kirk or to sow chaos.
TODD HUFF: And then there's the false flag narratives. Right? The false flag narratives, which is when it looks like it's one group — by design, that looks like the person that did it as a part of this group — when in reality they're trying to malign the group. So people are all over the place on this.
TODD HUFF: There's people who believe that the accused, Tyler Robinson, has been framed, that he was a patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald, falsely accused while the real shooter or shooters are out there, hidden in maybe even plain sight. Some argue that his texts were scripted. Some question the role of his transgender partner. Some people believe that's the shooter. There's lots to go through, my friends.
TODD HUFF: I'm going to pause here because I'm up against a break. Take a quick time out. You're listening here to the home of conservative, not bitter talk. I'm your host, Todd Huff. Back here in just a minute.
TODD HUFF: Welcome back, my friends. We're talking about conspiracy theories today. I know that there are programs that devote their entire content to sharing conspiracy theories. That's something you won't find us doing unless there's a whole lot of evidence and reasons to believe these things.
TODD HUFF: I'm not here — I want to be clear — I'm not here to say that there's never been a conspiracy theory that's been proven right. That's not my point. In fact, I'm also not here to tell you that the government is to be trusted. The government has lost, basically, all — what I want to say — they violated the trust of the American people for too long.
TODD HUFF: The media has violated the trust of the American people too long. I think that they're cleaning it up. I think that Trump — I know some people think that Trump's the one that's creating this disharmony. But in reality, this stuff has been happening behind the scenes for decades. The government has been growing in power.
TODD HUFF: The government has been lying to us, deceiving us, misleading us. The chickens have come home to roost, as they say, because this is kind of what the result is — the consequences of lying to people for so long. They never believe what they're being told anymore. So I understand that.
TODD HUFF: So I'm not here to completely poo-poo the idea. But I'm also here to say that there are conspiracy theories out there that are just downright nuts as well. So I've been going through some of the ones that I've seen, that I've been able to find online or hear people talking about. I've gone through three conspiracy theories concerning the death of Charlie Kirk, and we're going to continue to do that here, my friends, as the program comes together.
TODD HUFF: I want to remind you before I get into that, though, Freedom Marketplace is something that we've launched here at the Todd Huff Show — FreedomMarketplace.net. It's a place where you can find conservative businesses, businesses that are freedom-loving, businesses that love this nation as founded.
TODD HUFF: They've made a pledge, a promise not to support leftist candidates, leftist causes. And so we started a directory for them because, candidly, as we grew the program, we used to put all of our sponsors' logos on a website — on our website. And it got too busy. It got to the point to where this honestly was terrible.
TODD HUFF: And so I realized we needed a searchable directory because people would sometimes — they’d email me and, by the way, I welcome you if you say, hey, I heard an advertiser on your show. That's okay. That's something you can email us about or contact us about on the website. We're happy to connect you.
TODD HUFF: But the reality is here that we needed a searchable database to give people an ability to find these folks. And so we did that. And in the process of doing that, or as I was putting that together, I thought, you know what? There are folks who maybe can't be a podcast advertiser, sponsor, partner, but they might want to list their business on Freedom Marketplace.
TODD HUFF: So that's where this idea came from. FreedomMarketplace.net. Check it out. It's one of the things that you can do practically to help companies that are pushing in the same direction, that care about America like you do, that are wanting to see America return back to our constitutional values and roots. FreedomMarketplace.net is where you can go. It's free for you to use, by the way. FreedomMarketplace.net.
TODD HUFF: Okay. So we've been talking about some of these theories today involving the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I'm just going to summarize. I'm not going to talk about the ones that we've already discussed. I'm just going to mention them and then pick up here.
TODD HUFF: We had Israel and the Mossad were involved. We have the U.S. government or the deep state or some rogue elements of the government that were involved. And then we have this belief that some people have, that Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin, was framed. And some people even questioning the role of his transgender partner.
TODD HUFF: Then we have this one — which, again, there are so many different theories out there that I just have to kind of group them together — but that Charlie Kirk's wife, now widow Erika Kirk, or some insider or someone in the family was directly involved.
TODD HUFF: I'm not endorsing any of this. I want to be very clear. I'm only saying this to have this discussion because really, what I want to get to next — which is why we're here and how we should think, how I think we should think about these things.
TODD HUFF: So some people believe that Erika Kirk had foreknowledge of this or that she was involved or motivated by control over Turning Point USA or some legacy assets, all that sort of stuff. In fact, those sorts of theories have gained, I would say, even some additional momentum in the wake of her announcing here that she's taking control of leadership of Turning Point USA.
TODD HUFF: Some people have built this suspicion upon some timing of some public statements made and things that happened at the memorial service. Again, I think these are tasteless. That's just my opinion. Reaches here, but they're going through this.
TODD HUFF: I mean, folks, there's a lot. There's theories about the security team. In fact, one of the folks who was close to Charlie Kirk was — oh, what is his name — cross-examine. I actually like the guy. He goes to campuses a lot. He's a Christian apologist. His name will come to me.
TODD HUFF: Frank Turek, who I believe was Charlie Kirk's mentor, who was there when he was shot. There were early videos saying, look at this guy making signals. And it was Frank Turek who was actually just adjusting his glasses or some such thing.
TODD HUFF: So there's videos that question his security — or, excuse me, theories that question his security team. Some people, of course, have theories about the messages that were on the bullet casings.
TODD HUFF: The shooter allegedly etched phrases like, “hey, fascist catch” and “arrows” onto the casings. So some people think that that's some sort of a message or a code, that this was something more ritual or rooted in ideology — which it was rooted in ideology. I think that's pretty clear.
TODD HUFF: We've got AI and video manipulations out there, deepfakes that have been — some of them have been caught and exposed already. My goodness. Some people have questions about the timing, thinking this was pre-time prefabricated.
TODD HUFF: You may remember that there was a book that was published about the death of Charlie Kirk on Amazon. The date of the publishing was the day before the assassination. There were questions about that. Amazon came out and said that that was an error on their system's end and so forth.
TODD HUFF: Some people questioned the foreign interference from Russia, China, Iran — that fueled the disinformation narratives here. Some people believe — this stuff is always the case with this stuff — that Charlie Kirk's assassination was faked. I don't even like to say some of these things, my friends.
TODD HUFF: But that's some of the stuff that's out there. Some people question the occult or, again, some ritualistic murders, killings here in this certain type of subculture. So there's questions and theories all over the place. Some people have a hybrid of theories. They combine different pieces of different theories.
TODD HUFF: Let me say this. This is what I want to get to. This is what I want to get to — truth matters. Truth matters. We must pursue it wherever it leads us. Truth matters if it leads us to the simple that this shooter was Tyler Robinson, that the story we're being told is accurate. That's what we should go with. That's what we should believe.
TODD HUFF: Now, I understand that there are people out there that don't want you to know the truth. And I think that there are people out there that are capable of really incomprehensibly wicked things. Lying, deceit, murder — you name it, they're capable of it. But we should follow the truth wherever it leads us. Even if it leads us to what some might consider a conspiracy theory today. I say that without endorsing a single one of those that I just mentioned.
TODD HUFF: Conspiracies have happened before — MKUltra, Watergate, some would say the Kennedy assassination. Our government and other powers around the world have an amazing capacity for evil. Individuals have a major, unbelievable capacity for evil.
TODD HUFF: The government — and pieces, rogue people, groups within the government — have capacity for evil. Terrorist organizations. There's evil out there. That's an obvious thing. Evil exists. Conspiracy has happened.
TODD HUFF: But they're not always as competent as we give these folks credit to be. That's one of the takeaways for me. God is omnipotent. God is omnipotent, meaning he's all powerful. There's nothing that God's power can't accomplish.
TODD HUFF: In fact, God often restrains his power and his justice and instead chooses to use grace and mercy and patience in dealing with human beings in hopes that they will accept the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
TODD HUFF: But God's the only omnipotent being. Even Satan himself is not omnipotent. Satan's legion of demons are not omnipotent. They're not all powerful. They're not omnipresent. They can't be everywhere at once. They're limited. And sometimes we give too much power to the side that's trying to complete acts of darkness.
TODD HUFF: And I think we need to be mindful of that just because they would like to do certain things doesn't mean they can pull it off. Doesn't mean that they're successful even if they do try. They make mistakes. They're human, in fact.
TODD HUFF: They're human. And they are very self — well, they're very conceited. They think very highly of themselves. To have an anti-God state of mind, one has a very high opinion of oneself, and that causes people to make even additional mistakes.
TODD HUFF: It's easy. These theories sometimes give way too much power to what we're fighting against, and I think that that needs to be at least thought about and recognized because we do not fight against an evil that has unlimited power. It is powerful. It is dark. It is deep. My friends, the omnipotence is on the side of those who believe in God Almighty through his Son Jesus Christ.
TODD HUFF: And I've got to take a break. Sit tight, my friends, back here in just a minute.

TODD HUFF: Last segment here today on the program. I want to tie this all together here. Wrap this discussion about conspiracy theories up. And I want to say this. Number one, trust in government — trust in government is very low. I haven't looked at the data, but it might be at or near an all-time low.
TODD HUFF: And that distrust is earned, by the way. And part of the scrutiny and the disbelief in our government is absolutely earned. This is a consequence of what's happened over the past, I would say, 50 years in government, with a few exceptions in that timeline.
TODD HUFF: There's also, I think, a fascination in some aspects of our culture with the mystery. I think about the true crime podcasts that are wildly popular. I'm not against people listening to those — do not misunderstand what I'm saying.
TODD HUFF: What I'm saying is that some people so much love the narrative and the story and the mystery and the entertainment of that — which is, to me, I'm going to say it, I think that's sick. Listen, if you listen to true crime, that's not what I'm saying.
TODD HUFF: What I'm saying is if you hear a tragedy and immediately you start thinking about all the entertaining possible solutions or explanations for an event instead of just digging to the truth, I would say that that's a sick thing to do. That's not necessarily helpful. These are real people.
TODD HUFF: And I would say that social media has contributed to a part of this. You see these people celebrating his death — which, of course, the left acts like it doesn't happen. I can't tell you the number of people on the left who say that they don't even know what I'm talking about when I talk about people cheering the death of Charlie Kirk.
TODD HUFF: These people are all over the place. These people are all over the place and they're proud of it. They've lived in circles where they've dehumanized the political opposition so much that they can celebrate online and not even think anything's wrong with that.
TODD HUFF: These aren't real people to them. These are avatars. These are just faces on a screen. These are not real people to them. And social media has — listen, I'm not here — social media has done good. Social media has contributed to bad. Social media in and of itself is not morally good or bad. It's how we use it. It's how we've allowed it to impact our lives.
TODD HUFF: It's technically amoral, but there are people that have used it for bad. And some of that bad is the dehumanization of people. You see people as an account on TikTok and not as a human being with blood running through their veins, with children at home, with a wife that they've built a life with.
TODD HUFF: So there's a part of this that feeds into that as well. Narratives can become more compelling than the grief, than the empathy, than the human — just the humanity of this whole thing. A lot of people just wonder, just from an intellectual exercise, what could have happened. It becomes a form of entertainment.
TODD HUFF: These people — there are people, I should say — who kind of take advantage of this. There are influencers, content creators. They trade only in this speculation. They communicate these ideas, these beliefs. They throw it out there, they move on and chase the next rabbit of the day. That's their brand.
TODD HUFF: That's the antithesis of what we are here. I would rather talk about things that are rooted in truth and reality. Focus on the things that we do know and that we encourage people to pursue those instead of some wild, baseless conspiracy theory.
TODD HUFF: Again, you heard what I said about conspiracy theories at the top. Sometimes they're right, but sometimes they're way, way wrong as well. If everything is a conspiracy theory, my friends, I find myself wondering if anything is — because again, the universe isn't manipulated and controlled by these evil forces to the degree that we are powerless and helpless.
TODD HUFF: Their power is not omnipotent. We give them too much credit sometimes. I've been through this. There are some old conspiracy theories — you go back to JFK, you go back, people question the moon landing, the flat earth, all of that stuff. Some of these things are new.
TODD HUFF: Some things, as soon as an event happens today, there's an immediate call for conspiracy theories. It's just something that kind of a part of the subculture does — the online community, at least a portion of it does. They see conspiracy theories everywhere.
TODD HUFF: And yet, on the other side of the coin, you've got people who always believe the official narrative and accounts are true. And that's not accurate either. We're lied to. We're deceived. They hide from us. The powerful don't want to be held to account. Sometimes the powerful have blood on their hands — whether directly or whether just through their personal lack of, well, doing their jobs appropriately.
TODD HUFF: If you look to — I know Tucker Carlson is doing a 9/11 investigation, and there were a lot of questionable actions taken regarding that. But, friends, we face evil. Satan is not omnipotent. We do not fight an enemy that cannot be resisted, or cannot be defeated.
TODD HUFF: My friends, the truth is that sometimes we give these folks too much power. The truth is what sets us free. Not paranoia and not tribal outrage, not viral theories. Let's be a people who think clearly, who love deeply, who speak boldly.
TODD HUFF: Charlie Kirk's life should remind us that courage leaves a mark. Let's make sure ours does as well.
TODD HUFF: My friends, I have to go. Have a great day. Thanks for listening. SDG.
