Charlie Kirk's Exploding Mic — An Explosives Expert Settles It 💥

Beth sits down with explosives expert Matt Barnett to test every conspiracy theory about how Charlie Kirk actually died, walking through four scenarios before landing on what she has believed since day one.

Commentary on the human condition — through metaphysics and freedom. I take the 500-foot view: the zoomed-out perspective most people never climb to, where AI, the nature of reality, hidden power structures, and our sovereignty as souls all connect. Unscripted. Raw. Paradoxically nuanced. Subscribe or keep living in a low-resolution simulation.

The theory that Charlie Kirk was killed by an explosive
placed in his wireless mic is growing in popularity.
We, the general public, don't know crap.
It would impact, it would break apart,
a large piece bounces off to go God knows where,
the little parts out, the little parts go in,
then that's the fragments, the five fragments they found,
and the reason his neck didn't blow all the pieces
because to say, oh, I shot my 30 odd six,
and that's what it did to a chunk of meat I bought
at the store, so case closed, it's not that simple.
Quantum Bombs.
Welcome to Quantum Bombs,
a commentary show on the human condition
through metaphysics and freedom.
Today I'm sitting here with the friend of the show,
Matt Barnett.
Yeah, Matt explode stuff on Instagram and YouTube.
This is his first long form debut on YouTube.
Normally he's known for his shorts where he explodes stuff.
So I'm happy to have him on, starting his YouTube off strong.
We're living in a world,
today we're exploring the human condition
of many thoughts on the same thing.
Credible people looking at a 30 odd six
going through Charlie's body,
or an exploding mic theory.
I've been in a lot of shootings,
I've killed more than a handful of people,
and this thing looked shady off the bat.
I mean, just, I've killed people
closer than I saw the camera,
and I've never seen a shirt move like that.
That looks like an explosion to me.
Credible people believing different things.
Well, I've got a credible person sitting here
across from me, he's one of my best friends
and business partner,
long time friend from the same hometown.
Do you think that Charlie Kirk was killed
with an explosive?
I think that that is a possibility, yes.
Okay, good.
And it should be explored.
He's done a lot of work on it,
John Bryan has done good work.
We're going over this in four different ways.
The first one being the exploding mic theory
as a shape charge, then as a general explosion,
and then as an accidental explosion,
and then the fourth would be if a transmitter
that was hooked on to him, what would happen?
And who better to ask than this expert here?
Matt, tell us why you're an expert.
Give me a little bit of your resume.
Well, I've been working with explosives
since I was seven years old,
and I started a company called Bonetti Explosives.
I got a degree in chemistry and a patent on a shape charge.
I've spent a lot of time in the UXO
or unexploded industry where we,
unexploded ordinance industry where we would go
and determine what ordinance could be recycled,
or if it was live, need to blow it up on site.
And then I started to help out other areas
of that industry in the oil and gas
and some of the defense with storage
and testing and procurement.
So I've been around a lot of facets
of the explosive industry,
and I've got a lot of experience with it
as well as a lot of shooting
that has nothing really to do with that,
but just that I have a lot of guns and I shoot a lot.
You've been around the block.
Yeah.
First, I'll show y'all the mic
that we're going to be talking about today.
This, as you see on screen, is underneath.
It is a bright breast, and on top of that is a magnet.
And all that magnet's doing is holding that here.
So the mic was actually under the shirt.
Under the shirt, just like this, with a magnet on top.
Now, as you could see,
the microphone's two inches by two inches on screen
and almost one inch thick.
So I'm going to show you the mic.
Almost one inch thick.
We think it was actually sitting up,
like on its side like that.
So it could have been projected out by two inches.
That's the microphone that he's going to,
he wore supposedly.
I say that because there's one other theory
we're going to explore at the end,
which is strapped around his chest,
but right now we're going with what we could obviously see.
Number one, let's just pretend it's a shape charge, right?
I guess first, before we start,
we have the trajectory as the problem
going from right to the left.
But the first, I guess, obvious question is,
being that, you know, the size,
I'll put it back on the screen
so you could see it this time.
Is there enough room in there
for the shape charges jet to even form
or even for the configuration to be made
along with what's inside the microphone?
Well, I don't know what the inner workings
of a microphone are, but that space,
there's enough to have a shape charge, yeah.
And then would it be enough to cause damage?
A shape charge that small?
Yeah, a shape charge that small would kill you dead.
And it also would blow up where it's at and put a jet out.
So if I had that thing on my chest here
and it blew up and formed a jet that went all the way across
and nicked my jugular over here,
it's gonna blow up the T-shirt.
Watch the mic, the arrows right there.
You can see an explosion.
You can see the shirt gets lifted where the mic is
and a white little plume right there
a plume of almost smoke or compressed air
comes out from underneath his shirt right there.
It's gonna blow up the T-shirt.
Not puff some dust out, but blow up.
Like if you saw the pagers that blew up those guys.
Yeah, we made a fun video on it.
Yeah, they were gruesome.
A single blasting cap to test it
against this rack of ribs from pork.
Actually, it made a hole.
Instead of one ounce is what we tried last time.
It's probably more like three grams.
So that's what we're emulating on this go round.
One.
This charge wasn't taped tightly to it.
It was just laying next to it
and it managed to cut this in half.
So let's say they were shaped charge as well
to do damage over, you know, at distance.
Well, where they initiate from is also destroyed.
And they had enough explosive in pagers
to completely mangle hands.
So there should be a gaping hole
where that thing went off.
And let's say it was tiny, like one gram.
That's still enough to blow a hole through a shirt,
through a device and make a bloody wound
where it initiated from.
As you're saying that, you've just made me think
about something that no one has proposed
when pondering this conspiracy.
Let's say they did plant this into his microphone
and it detonated correctly.
They would have known it would have charred
the right chest where it was.
And then it would have been obvious.
Hey, it was his mic.
Therefore, most likely his security team are working.
And it would have to be aiming at a crucial spot
and you'd have to time this with a bullet.
And I don't buy it.
So there is room for it to work.
Yeah, there's definitely room for it to work.
And when it worked, it'd be fairly spectacular.
It wouldn't be a powder puff under a shirt
and then neck blown out over here.
And have you made a shape charge this small?
I've made some pretty small shape charges
and I've bought them actually.
I've used shape charges down to just over a gram.
They're very small.
And they disrupt significantly where they start.
Yeah, they poke a hole at something a distance from them.
But where they detonate is significant damage.
Significant, not something a shirt is gonna contain.
Even if I'm just playing devil's advocate
or trying to run with this theory,
even if it was turned on its side, actually.
Yeah, they probably had laser identifiers
with cameras on the shape charge
and Charlie wore a Kevlar shirt that day to protect it.
Yeah, it all goes well.
I could see it.
Are you being sarcastic?
Yeah, it's a joke.
Okay, well, that was my other question was,
could it fire without sharring to the chest?
All right, you Brett mentioned something.
I mean, they could.
They could make a capsule inside there
that's titanium and super strong
and it only allows it to bulge a little bit.
And then you still have to get all the inner workings
of that thing in that space as well.
No, I don't, I don't,
I think everybody just looks for something sensationalized
on every damn thing that happens.
And the reason I say this,
because I've been on both sides of this,
I've worked in places where we can't talk
about what we're doing.
And then I go into the public realm
and I see what the public sees.
And I hear the stories
and the fanciful things they come up with.
And then on the background, it's super boring.
We just can't talk about it.
So we have to let these dumb conspiracies run.
But it's really stupid.
It's like, no, we're running weed eaters back there guys.
Cause we gotta cut the grass.
But no, it's alien technology.
There are things that warrant conspiracies.
Who did it?
Why?
All that stuff.
But this ain't one.
Well, I think that's why I wanted to show the videos
because it's, I'm with you.
And then I watch the videos
and then I'm not with you so much
because on a lot of these websites,
I mean, you can go down the rabbit hole
on the heat technology, all the slow-mo stuff.
And you're like, did I show you the, no,
let's watch this other video.
And when you look at the reenactments done online,
side by side, you can't help but notice
the way that the shirt moves,
the way that the necklace moves
and the way that the body moves are so similar.
I also have shot a lot of things.
And I can tell you that I've shot a lot of things
with the same round and the same living thing.
And they behave different.
They don't always blow the same chunk out.
Sometimes it makes a hole and the thing dies.
Sometimes it's more gruesome than others.
How much, how hydrated was it?
Was it taking a breath or was it exhaling the breath?
I don't know, the distance, the,
there's so many factors in there.
They're not all exactly the same.
They're similar, but not all exactly the same.
And if you ever look at a bullet with high-speed photography,
you know, you got the cameras with the super high speed,
you will always see a compression wave around that round,
especially something like a 30-odd six,
a eight millimeter, a 35 Remington, you know,
was it exactly a 30-odd six?
I couldn't watch it on TV and say,
oh, that's a 30-odd six from the impact.
Get out of town.
My God, there's so many rounds that are similar.
The millimeter Mauser would look like that.
But when you see that project out flying
through the air, it has a compressed wave around it
in the atmosphere.
And that's a shock wave.
You hear it as a crack when it goes over your head.
You hear the crack long before you'll hear the shot
fired from the firearm.
And so when that comes in, that compressive wave
also is hitting the target
and causing the fluffing of clothes or hair on animals.
If they're shot, you'll see the hair poof off of it.
You see birds with feathers blow off of them.
That's gonna happen with a projectile.
It's not airsoft.
It's not paintball.
I think people have gotten away from shooting things
and they don't know what it's like.
Okay, so I think you're saying to my point
when I was like, well, it's sitting here.
Why is the whole shirt coming up?
That's the, you said that.
Yeah, you have 150 grain projectile moving
at 2,700 feet per second,
coming in far above the speed of sound,
making a little wave that's gonna pop the shirt
when it hits.
I like that.
I didn't realize bullets travel back.
Well, watch it on high speed camera.
You can see it.
I could be proven wrong.
So I can say, oh, there was a microscopic shape charge
in there with a little camera
and they were waiting for it to be aiming
at just the right spot to shoot across his chest
and hit the opposite side.
And it didn't frag anything outward initiated from
and there's no sign of a jet moving across.
And we timed it with a nerd on a roof with a firearm,
you know, and we found a bullet.
Okay, maybe, but I don't believe it.
Okay, well, that was one of my questions was
the sound, you've mentioned it twice now
that they timed it with somebody pretend shooting
from somewhere, how loud would a shape charge be?
And then the next move on to is a general explosion
as a possibility.
It would be about like a gunshot.
A shape charge would, even that small.
Yeah, well, to form a jet,
you're gonna have to have a fairly brazen explosive.
It's gonna have to be moving at 20,000 feet per second ish.
Okay.
One to cut through flesh,
you could use a little bit slower, but still,
let's say 15,000 feet per second.
A bullet moves at about 2,700 feet per second.
So what I'm getting at is you're not gonna use
a little poof of black powder to make a jet in this thing.
It's gonna be a high explosive.
It's gonna have a crack.
It's gonna have a pop that's gonna be very audible.
Okay, so in that theory,
you didn't need the guy on the gun
or on the rooftop making the fake sound.
But didn't they find a bullet?
They found, actually, I love that you asked that question.
They recovered a bullet jacket fragment
and reportedly up to five fragments total
from Kirk's body at autopsy, not one intact bullet.
What was lodged was the jacket, not a whole round,
and it was too damaged to match to a specific firearm.
The key wrinkle your guests will care about,
the ATF comparison to Robinson's Mauser 30-odd six
back inconclusive, meaning they couldn't confirm
the rifle fired it, but also couldn't rule it out.
Forensic experts quoted, say, inconclusive,
it's common with a damaged fragment
and doesn't exonerate anyone,
but the defense have spotlighted it
as the bullet doesn't match.
Where'd the bullet come from?
It doesn't match.
Why do they call it a Mauser?
Every Mauser I know of is Mauser's German,
like eight millimeter Mauser.
Like 30-odd six is generally an American caliber.
That would be like a Springfield 30-odd six,
which is a World War I and World War II rifle,
and a Mauser K98 Mausers were World War II Germans,
but they fired eight millimeter Mauser.
So why are we mixing Mauser and 30-odd six?
I guess if his grandpa was a really firearm aficionado
and he had a Mauser chambered in 30-odd six,
it might be that he also loaded his own ammo for it.
And if it was an old rifle,
he might load low power at 30-odd six
because the bolts did sometimes were weaker,
the chamber was weaker.
Like I said, I'm loading low power 30-odd six
for that very reason.
If some doofus came in there and stole my rifle
and stole that ammo and shot somebody with it,
it's not gonna behave like a hunting round from Walmart.
I got you, I'm following you.
You've cracked the case, Matt.
You've cracked the case.
I'm just saying there's things you gotta look at.
Or Tyler's guilty after all.
No, I'm kidding, but I'm following you.
Which is saying that if his grandpa,
he probably loaded those bullets
and that's why they're so janky.
Okay, also relevant,
I'm just gonna read this all real quick.
Also relevant to the Mike Theory discussion,
Kirk security chief said the autopsy showed no exit wound
and the projectile fragmented on hitting the spine,
which is the why is it fatal heavy bleeding explanation
is inconsistent with the bullet
and not an exploding Mike.
Consistent, not inconsistent.
And if it's just the jacket, think about this,
the projectile could hit the neck,
the jacket separate, cause what you need to do
to cause death, but then the majority of the projectile
keep moving, which would explain why a lot of the energy
blew out and not in.
It wasn't a direct hit to center mass of the neck.
The way you said the energy blew out, not in.
So what I'm saying is if a projectile hits right here
and then separates from the jacket
and the jacket decides to take a left turn
and go into my neck and into my spine
and cause fatal bleeding while the remainder
of the projectile goes out this way.
Now a lot of that energy is not here,
blowing my neck apart like that meat explained.
It just makes a hole as the rest of it goes out
because the energy wasn't completely dumped into the neck.
The projectile continued to go.
Only the jacket of it went in.
Okay, so on that, it's hard for me to picture.
I mean, I know what a bullet is,
just that tiny projectile.
Yeah, but ideally you want all of that
to stay in the target.
You don't want it to go through.
You want to hit that target and all stay in there
and dump all that kinetic energy into your target.
But somehow the bullet was separating for that.
Yeah, cause they do that sometime.
Not before, but upon impact.
A janky one that you might've reloaded yourself.
Well, kidding.
Maybe, but if you ever watch high speed footage
of bimetal bullet projectiles striking targets,
they start to separate quickly.
Impact of anything.
When they shoot the ballistic joke.
I have watched the, yeah, I'm like, yes,
I've not only have I watched it guys,
I have filmed it.
And when you do it, it's not easy.
Goes in and curves and goes all weird angles
and puts that energy all over the place.
It's never exactly the same thing.
While conspiracy theorists insist no 30 odd six
could possibly behave this way,
the round blasted into Charlie Kirk's neck,
crushed his vertebra and ricocheted downward
toward his heart, only to be stopped dead
by his legendary Superman neck
of super dense steel-like bone.
It created no exit wound and lodged harmlessly
just beneath the skin, which experts hailed
as a miracle that saved the bystanders
standing behind him.
Up on the rooftop, Tyler Robinson
didn't just break down his rifle.
He shredded it apart in a ridiculous hyper speed blur
using nothing but his bare hands.
Then he sprinted across the roof
and launched himself off the edge
with expert parkour precision.
Tyler made the conscious expert decision
to reassemble his rifle one last time
and place it under a tree in a bush.
He then changed back into his blue jeans
and maroon t-shirt in hyperspeed.
And that he did, he went and got ice cream.
And I want some ice cream.
Any thoughts on that?
Well, they look like a bunch of AI stuff.
It said it penetrated, busted his vertebrae
and then started down towards his heart,
but then was stopped, but it wasn't.
There was a fragment of it.
There was a fragment of the projectile,
not the whole projectile.
Big difference.
So where are the other parts?
So you're basically saying-
That's why his neck didn't explode
like that ball of meat that guy was demonstrating.
Okay, I guess to get this clear then,
you got a bullet, right?
It's flying at me.
You're saying it already broke apart before impact?
No, it would impact, it would break apart.
A large piece bounces off to go God knows where.
The little parts out, the little parts go in.
Then that's the fragments, the five fragments they found.
And the reason his neck didn't blow all the pieces
because all the kinetic energy
didn't get dumped in his neck, part of it left.
Where's the exit loan?
That's the question.
The whole thing, that's why it didn't blow his neck apart.
It hit on the side and part deflected and went in
and part goes out.
So in that chunk of gore, the blood part,
there's a lot happening there.
The majority of the bullet is actually not going in him,
missing him and only some of it fragmented.
I just find it hard to believe
that his soft organic body though ripped a bullet
to different pieces.
It's water.
Doesn't it happen?
Mostly water, do you ever done a belly flop?
Yes.
Okay, how does that feel?
So you're saying it hurt that bullet,
same way it hurt me.
It tore that bullet apart.
Shoot, water, bullets blow up.
Why do you think they use ballistic gel?
When they hit, it's supposed to simulate flesh
and they fly apart in there.
If they're designed to fly apart,
full metal jacket generally won't.
But a bimetal or a soft tip or hollow point, they will.
It was a full metal.
It was full metal?
Well, I don't want to get it mixed up with the grain.
This is where I raise my girl flag at.
I don't even know and I don't care about the difference.
Well, it's a big deal.
If it was full metal jacket,
I find it odd that it would blow to pieces.
But if it was a soft point, like a soft tip, yeah.
All right.
Number two.
Okay, so now we're onto the general explosion.
Could an explosion the size
throw the printed circuit board
and battery with lethal force?
Let's just say it's a general explosion.
It's not a shape charge anymore.
So if it detonated as a general explosion,
so we just discussed the shape charge
being the perfect bullet.
Now we're talking 360 explosion.
How does that change things?
Could it have, well, the first question is,
could it have thrown that circuit board
out of the, that we know could have been a big piece
of the microphone if it were to be?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I could have thrown it out and cut his neck.
And then if it did that, and we're just talking about 360,
there'd be frag all over the place and through the shirt
and that little magnet would have gone flying.
There'd be an actual explosion over here.
That's the other, so that's the problem.
I guess that's the problem that most people can't hear of.
Cause as I'm walking through the logistics.
No, people don't know about blowing anything up.
I see Hollywood, they, I have people tell me,
can you blow this house up?
I'm like, yeah, you like your neighbors right there?
Cause if I blow this house up, the neighbors going too.
And I'll be blowing something like,
can we watch from right here?
No, you can't watch from right here.
It doesn't work like that.
When you work with high explosives,
you got to take cover.
It's a very nasty thing.
And people think you can,
I've seen idiots like fireworks in a house.
Okay. Yeah.
Oh, I mean, I wanted, I liked this theory.
I'm not gonna lie, but my next question was,
why was it only, why was the projectile only on the neck?
Why didn't we see burns or anything on the irony
as he's wearing a white shirt
and we didn't see any of that after it happened.
Meaning there was no black, no blood.
There's no flash.
There's no rupture of a fabric shirt with an explosion.
Now I am curious.
Look, I don't want to, I don't want to come across cocky
saying I know it all.
I don't, I don't, but I am curious
about the white poof that was underneath there.
To me that, that begs the question.
You know, was there a powder in there
that when, when the shockwave hit it fluffed it,
did he have a deodorant on there?
Was there starch in there?
I don't know.
You know, it's odd.
I'm happy we won you over on one thing.
Matt and I obviously talk about this a lot off camera.
I'm just, I'm looking for the truth too.
I don't know, but I'm just giving you my opinion
on what I think.
You show me evidence contrary to it.
Then, okay, you know, you got to accept it.
Something looks weird about that powder puff.
Yeah.
And we're not going to go through all the videos
on the internet today,
but there are some from like heat mapped videos
from behind and actually I'll be honest,
I'm not showing it because I couldn't really tell.
And it's just like, it's super zoomed in
and it's slowed down frame by frame.
But what they're showing you is that poof from behind
just coming out this way.
But for me, it wasn't even compelling enough
to move me to show the audience.
I just think it's a piss poor way to assassinate somebody
and put a tiny little shape charge
that any angle is going to change where it's aiming.
Even if you contain the origination point of it
to where it wouldn't frag them out,
but just make a jet versus putting in it.
But see, that's the thing.
The conspiracy will be, well,
if you put a charge big enough to be like the pager bombs,
it's very obvious that his equipment was tampered with
and, you know, blown up.
And then the, the very clear thing to do here would be
who, or a question to ask is who got a hold of that?
Mike, all this stuff is kept for evidence.
So who has it?
Right. Oh, well, great question.
Great. Well, the great question
that a lot of this hasn't been answered.
Hopefully it'll come out.
If there is a trial, it'll come out in the trial.
That was my next question, which was,
is it possible for a general explosion
to travel it directionally?
Like you were just, I mean, so normally you blow up stuff.
It's a 360 of, but in this case,
it could have, something could have been off.
You say yes.
I kind of think that's kind of ridiculous.
We blow up stuff and without that directional,
like I've seen you mold things to go a certain way,
tape things to go a certain way,
but this is now, this is just our general explosion scenario,
not a shape charge.
How would it detonate on his chest,
throw frag into his neck?
I guess that's the question.
Is it possible that it threw frag into the neck,
but then somehow didn't damage his chest?
Not his shirt, not his chest, not his neck, nowhere else.
Is it possible?
No, I don't think so.
I mean, it's possible that a piece
from a general explosion could cut him up,
but if it was that, then there would be multiples.
Yeah.
All right.
I mean, I got a little experience with this.
I've had about a gram, if even that,
go off in my hand before and part of my finger
was on the ceiling.
I smelled something rotting and it was chunks
on my finger the next few days in my bookshelf
across the room and there was holes in a wooden desk
and that was a tiny amount of explosive.
So I have no pun intended, first-hand experience
being blown up.
Show them your scar while the cat is butts in the camera,
but do you think, well, show a point to it
so they know what part of your hand is reconfigured.
All right.
I saw my thumb right there.
This is Gracie.
She is on the mice patrol here at Matt's workshop
slash quantum bomb studio.
Okay.
And by the way, that tiny explosion that I can't believe it,
but this is like the best experiment, right?
It blew myself up.
That tiny, tiny amount of explosive put a chunk of copper
into the bone of my skull between my eyes.
It had a piece of copper about the size of a penny
almost come out the backside of my fat hand right here,
carved off all of my thumb, scooped out the inside
of my middle finger and completely buggered up
the inside of the ring finger.
So to the point that I could see bone
and ligament and tendon.
And that was an extremely small amount of explosive.
We're talking less than a gram.
I feel like that's the rest, that rests the case then.
Sorry guys, with the exploding my theory, all of that.
Yeah, I blew myself up for this guys.
I can tell you what less than a gram of explosive
does to flesh.
Janine, you explosives are messy.
That gets, that sounds really messy.
On human body, it's very messy.
Soft organic material body.
Crap flew everywhere, literally.
It's like popping a water balloon.
Number three.
Okay, third part.
Let's just say an accident happened that day
and it just exploded.
And no one's, this is actually something
that people have also brought in up.
What, the lithium battery?
Yes, is that the battery would rupture.
Was he, was he hiding a battery on his neck?
Okay, well that was the question.
What if it, would it produce a wound like we saw?
If the battery erupted, and this was an accident
and road is paved everybody off.
Where is the battery?
The battery's still in the same spot.
It's under, it's under his right chest on his T-shirt.
So a thermal runaway happens with a,
with a lithium battery right here
and this side of his neck blows up.
Thank you.
That was, well, that's why at the top I was like,
I have a problem with the trajectory,
which is why I played that guy doing this.
No smoke, go watch a video of lithium batteries going off.
Like fireworks.
So that one's also crossed out.
Yeah.
So right now, I've got to bring,
number four.
Okay, so this will take us to the last,
not to be confused,
is that we've all just now been discussing
the road mic on the camera.
Now we're going to go to the idea
that some people has discussed,
well, what if it was strapped underneath his chest?
Candace Owens released a bunch of never before seen photos
from inside the SUV that transported
Charlie Kirk's body to the hospital.
While people believe that this photo clearly proves
that there's evidence of an exploded mic,
no one can figure out what this is.
Here's a closer look.
I plugged it into chat GPT
and it guessed that it would be some sort of burn
synthetic material or foam like polyester or nylon,
which is interesting because I've seen people online
wondering if Charlie was wearing a wireless transmitter pouch
under his shirt that day,
which just happens to be made with foam padding
and nylon and spandex
and can also clip on to a chest strap,
which it looks like from this photo,
Charlie was wearing that day.
A beige pouch, a black strap absolutely can be used together
and you would want a beige pouch
so that you couldn't see it through the white shirt.
And the material used in that pouch,
when exposed to fire,
tend to melt, shrink and harden
into glossy black or brown blobs
rather than turning to ash,
which you could say this looks like.
You see that black dot on his shirt?
Yeah.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, a couple of things came to mind.
One, if you were trying to pull this off,
there's any time you try to do something,
I don't put this like it's got to work.
You want to cut down on the number of weak links.
It sounds like a very complicated,
the theory is, the conspiracy is
that there was this special explosive device
that would be set up to not look like an explosive,
not disrupt anything.
Like a perfect jet go into his neck from across his body
without disrupting the point of initiation at all
and make this look like a gunshot.
Seriously, putting poison in his drink
would have been so much easier
than doing this theatrical thing
that so many points could go wrong.
Like it's difficult enough,
even though it's totally doable to make a shot.
200 yard shot is 100% doable, not a big deal.
But even that has variables to it.
But to put this thing in this way,
I know it sounds sexy
and it makes good 007 movie, I don't buy it.
And the other thing is that thing on the floor,
that melted deal, I don't know what it is,
but I have experience of being in social media
with things in my background
and you ought to see the stupid ideas
that people come up with what that is.
Oh, did you see that thing back there?
That's probably this, this and this.
And I look at him like, oh my gosh,
it's like, no, got nothing to do with that.
But congratulations for taking a still shot of my life
and coming up and understanding exactly
what the story is behind a crumpled up cup behind me,
where it came from.
Like they have no frickin' clue.
I don't know, maybe somebody took the garbage
out of his place from a campfire they had
and spilled that in the car the night before.
There's a million things it could be.
Now, you're saying if he wore something on his chest,
could it have gotten hot and melted
when something was disrupted
and produced that molten plastic?
Sure, maybe, I don't know.
But I don't, I did just see smoke come off of his belly.
I saw his neck blow.
That's what I saw.
I saw a shirt puff and a neck pop
and that's what it looks like when you shoot something.
The clothes pops, the fur pops off,
the feathers pop off and the flesh blows out.
I didn't see something blow up over here and then there
and I didn't see smoke come from his belly.
So what Candace Owens found is saying what around his waist?
Okay, well, I wanna reiterate, that's the problem
is that we could see, like we all could see,
the microphone being worn under the shirt
with the magnet on top,
which we showed you the mic on,
the mic we believe him to be wearing that day.
But then, that's why I think, I guess I'm gonna say it,
I follow what people are saying
and when I'm making this show, I realized,
well, they're conflating two separate things to be one.
So if you're saying there's an exploding mic theory,
we have the one that we just covered in depth,
whether it's a shape charge
or a general explosion or an accident.
And then now, we have these pictures surfacing
which then, and did you notice,
and I paused that video on my own
where she says, you could see the strap around Charlie.
So I paused it so I too could look.
And unfortunately-
But see it do what?
What's it got to do with what?
Well, I liked that we're exploring it though.
I mean, because obviously the shirt
makes this all to question-
Let's say he had a strap on.
What's that got to do with anything?
Well, then that would have been
a very likely suspect of what it could have been.
And it looked like it definitely,
does it look like, I guess that's a question to you.
Does it look like something could have blew up
in that around-
Around his waist and then made his neck blow out?
I like it.
So that's your-
I like that, that's your-
When I go blow something up,
I put the explosives on the target,
not 20 feet away from what I want to blow up.
Yeah.
Right.
And if I'm doing a shape charge,
it's messy at the point of initiation.
So again, back to it,
it would be messy at the chest area
or wherever that thing was-
Initiated from.
And yes, especially the black.
I don't know, I have to admit,
I didn't even think that all the way through.
I was just catching that-
No, because people,
it's like a drive-by conversation.
There was explosives in the belt.
Did you think about that?
And then they go drink a beer.
But yeah, I am thinking about it.
It doesn't make any sense.
That the belt was what?
That's the problem is without people going through this,
like we're doing right now,
they don't realize that it's either one thing or the other.
So it's either the microphone that was on his chest
or is it the microphone that was wrapped around,
supposedly wrapped around, not a microphone.
This would actually,
so that's the other thing.
This would have been a transmitter,
which hey, he could have been transmitting something else.
Sure, who knows?
Anyway, that would have been a transmitter around his chest,
but I'm glad that you made the obvious.
So now I could actually rule that out for myself.
But I still don't understand.
So what if he had a bracelet around his ankle?
Oh, there was a bracelet around.
Did you see that bracelet around his ankle?
Yeah, but what's that got through his neck blowing out?
That's a great point.
That's a great point.
Did he have underwear on?
You know, maybe it was in his underwear, but his neck blew.
Well, we didn't have pictures of his chart underwear
and the van that-
Well, I'm sure they hid that.
It was a rented vehicle.
But I was happy to see these pictures surfaced.
I'm happy we're asking questions about them.
But if you're sitting here watching us right now,
you could be thankful that now you have your answers,
that it was just, it's a nothing burger.
Well, you watch, you watch something.
They'll come out with this magic device one day
and I'll be like, well, I'll be dang, I was wrong.
But I'm just telling you from experience,
what thoughts are?
No, I think we walked through all of it then,
that it's not, those are four things we proposed.
The shape, charge, a general explosion, an accident,
or a transmitter that's not a microphone,
wrapped around his chest and it's also a no.
And all due to the main issue,
which is wherever the explosion is,
there's going to be some type of char, damage,
more, more, brazance, wave, what's the word for it?
What's the magic?
There's just gonna be more fragmentation of stuff.
And look, I don't like the way I'm coming across
on this thing.
It's just that I'm busy running an explosives company.
I got other work to do.
I looked at this and I was like, yeah, dude got shot
and this is awful.
And then I moved on and never gave it any thought.
And then it comes up.
Oh, everybody wants to talk about it
if he was blown up and you know,
I should be sitting here giving a lot of credence,
but I just don't believe it.
Okay, you bring up the last thing we're gonna go through,
which you kind of touched on earlier,
which is the gunshot.
I just have one video I want to show you on that.
And then I want to just give my one take
on why I don't believe it's Tyler Robinson
and I never have.
Actually, there's many reasons why, but-
Who's Tyler Robinson?
That's, I think, I think I have his name correct.
That's the guy that is,
well, I'd like to say presumed innocent
until proven guilty guy, yeah, yeah.
That's the poor guy that they went and told
like we're going to,
we're going to come, what is it called?
Swat your family's home or you could turn yourself in.
Well, you say poor guy, but I'm sure
I don't wanna get into it, but-
Dude, I'm with Alex Jones on this.
That guy got, so he volunteered,
normal dude walking around one day.
They come to his house.
They just picked this guy.
They said, hey dude, we're going to swat your home
unless you come in.
And so they, so he did.
So they went and swat his parents home.
This is his neighbor who is like a sheriff or a policeman
and they went through him.
He went and was like, dude, I gotta go check out
what's going on with this, right?
He goes, and he never leaves prison.
I believe Alex, as Alex Jones said,
you know, if you think about the experiments
the CIA has done and all the type of
line zapping and technology they have,
I'm just saying it's a possibility.
I'm also saying that we don't know.
We don't know.
I could go do something in my yard
and people have opinions about everything
and what's going on in there all wrong.
Well, you know what?
If they ever come and pick you up Matt
and you're zapped and you're trial and you're like this
and you're not, you haven't, think about it.
When have we ever arrested someone
and we've never heard a word from him
nor his boyfriend who was zapped up by the CIA?
We haven't heard a word for them.
Like not even a, you know, I didn't do it or nothing.
Like I think they mind zapped them
and they're little, they're patsies.
Maybe all I'm saying is that we over here in our cocoon
don't know.
We don't.
We don't know.
And it's, it's maybe that's what you can say, baby.
I do a little bit more politics and conspiracies.
This is my sports.
It's okay to speculate.
Okay.
We're going to explore the gun theory quickly with you
since you are also, you wouldn't consider yourself
a gun guy, but we're going to go through it anyway.
People who believe Charlie Kirk was shot
with a 30 odd six or maybe even worse or more dumb
than the people who were afraid of the air for five years
because the government told them to be.
I just, I really liked this post
because they gave you these little cute clips
in between their videos.
I don't like my chances, dude.
Jackpot.
Yeah, you hear that thud?
That'll move a t-shirt.
You see how it moved all that stuff around it
just from the shock wave?
Yeah.
Yeah, that would do that to a shirt.
Okay, here's the next.
Straight through, there is a bone in here as well.
And it completely broke apart the cow femur
and continued going.
Yeah, that's...
And we're buying, we're buying this.
It's a 30 odd six, dude.
So Charlie's neck.
All right, pause it for a second.
You remember that Congresswoman or whatever
that got shot by that guy, Gifford, I think was her name.
He went in and started shooting a bunch of people
and or maybe he just shot her, but she lived.
One of the reasons she lived is because, you know,
he shot her with a nine millimeter.
I'm pretty sure it was.
But he had put this lubricant or some oil
on his ammunition beforehand,
which reduced the velocity of it, unbeknownst to him.
He thought it would help it feed better,
but it leached in and actually cut down on the velocity.
I've actually had that happen to ammunition
before where you treat it a certain way.
You can mess it up.
So if it's a court of law and we're gonna investigate
everything, what'd that kid do?
If he's taking time to write things on bullets,
did he rub it in an oil so it would function, you know,
smoother?
Did he treat it in some way
that somehow made it have a lower velocity
so the bullet actually gets stuck?
If you're gonna be in a court of law,
you have to explore all of this.
And so to say, oh, I shot my 30-odd six
and that's what it did to a chunk of meat
I bought at the store, so case closed.
It's not that simple.
The bullet may not performed as well
as a normal 30-odd six, you're saying.
Yeah, it's very, I mean, who knows what he did to it?
Where'd the ammunition come?
Did he hand load it?
Did somebody in his family load ammo
and he just went and took one?
I'm making low-powered 30-odd six right now.
Well, hey, it's his grandpa's old gun,
it's his grandpa's old gun.
Did his grandpa load ammo?
You know, maybe.
Okay.
So all the, before you go out and cause somebody dumb,
you should just stop and think,
like all things are possible.
And I keep saying throughout this,
you could show me something
that would completely change my mind.
Just telling you what my opinions are
based off of actual things I've experienced.
Okay, this one I like.
The people who believe Charlie Kirk was shot
with a 30-odd six believe the official 9-11 narrative.
Now, it's funny cause Matt and I, through the years,
I mean, we basically, you know, we talk about everything
and we both know how each other is gifted and smart in life.
And I always actually still embaffled
that Matt and I kind of disagree with some things
on the 9-11 conspiracy.
No, there's something weird about 9-11 for sure.
Charlie too next.
Put himself directly behind Charlie.
Yep, if it would kill both of them.
We also have a concrete cinder block behind it.
They using 4895 stick powder in that round?
What is that?
I thought it's 30-odd.
The type of propellant, there's all different kinds
of propellants, what's the velocity of that
versus the one that the guy shot?
We need to know this.
Pretty decent high-speed camera.
Well, okay, so it did the center.
I mean, I actually like them doing two pieces of meat
in a center block, that's nice.
I have to give it to you.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
I mean, here's the deal, they're dying fast,
but go ask the veterans of World War II
because they saw people getting shot
with 30-odd six and eight millimeter mouser
every single day and not everybody lost their arm,
not everybody died, and I guarantee you
some wounds looked worse than others.
So why is it you shoot one guy and his head blows off,
one guy at the top of the head pops off,
another guy just makes a hole through his head,
another one doesn't have a face again,
but if you saw that one thing
and you went out and shot some meat from the store,
you could disagree with it.
But I don't know what to tell you,
all I can tell you is different things can happen.
Basically, we had the one oddity God likes
to create the most interesting scenario for the universe,
and it's a super clean shot, basically,
with a Superman neck.
I mean, that's really what we saw,
that's what we're gonna end the show agreeing on.
I mean, that's what we're looking at.
If it's not our four explosions we explored,
it's a clean shot when you're looking at these.
Anyway, I'm almost done with it.
I can't believe we had this whole conversation
and the whole time there was a projectile
found in his neck.
Yeah.
Okay, so what'd they do?
Surgically put that in there later?
The people who believe Charlie Kirk was shot
with a 30 odd six believe Israel is our greatest ally.
It's true, most of them do, I hate to say it,
but this is what is the nuance
of what we're talking about today,
is the alliances this has created.
It almost is like a Truman show, it's too convenient,
and I mean this in so many manners.
Iran and so many other facets right now,
we have created two alliances here on the right.
It's true, we're smiling,
but this is gonna be a problem in the future.
I'm slaying about making the generalization of that.
To make generalizations, if you believe that,
you believe that, are you kidding me?
I've been around enough to know,
yeah, there are some broad generalizations.
To the right or left.
But you can't wrap everybody into that.
I know, I know.
And this is the weird world though that we are living in,
which is, sorry, I don't wanna.
I mean, it's like the big enders and little enders
with Gulliver's Travels and the idiots
that fought over the eggs.
How stupid it's getting.
You don't know Gulliver's Travels?
No, but I understand what you're saying.
It's so black and white,
and that's what's so amazing to me to see
over the last six months,
is kinda how easy and black and white the right is
in regards to the Israel thing.
Like, you could take Thomas Massey for example.
I mean, in a weird way, it does split us in half.
You're like, well, certainly there's more nuance,
and just because your pro-Israel doesn't mean
that you're this, this, this, that,
and it, no, no, no, it does.
It comes with all of the dressings included on both ways,
whether you're pro or anti,
and it really has created two camps.
Can you imagine being married to somebody like that?
You say one thing and they just generalize
that you just believe.
I can't, I mean, look, I got it on my wall
that I'm a nuanced person,
so you're getting a whole lot of,
I'd like to take a mix in a little bit of everything,
you know what I'm saying?
And that's why we're friends.
Thank God you could think like that as well.
Let's just watch, what is this last video?
Maybe we're, many more pieces of meat.
Can we shoot, boys?
I think I'm gonna make a mess.
I'm sorry, do I have this one?
Okay.
All right, what are we watching now?
Straight through one fourth quarter steel
through the port behind it.
Man, are we getting the picture?
And this isn't some like store bought,
I went to a fucking welding shop to get this.
This is legit steel made for shooting.
Oh, rounds.
The neck is separated, okay?
It's fucking separated.
Do we really have to question this anymore?
I think it's broken.
Yeah.
We're still questioning it.
Let's keep going.
The people who believe Charlie Kirk was shot
with a 30-06 believe the official narrative
of the JFK assassination.
That's my favorite one.
I love that one because, I mean,
I think of my dad, he's a boomer,
he watches Fox News, he doesn't even know any of this.
But I was, all right, I'm gonna give you my thoughts
on this real quick.
I was listening that, you know, that we could happen
and when they got him, we got him.
And all of a sudden I saw Trump, not on day one,
but like day two, it was like, yep, 100% done
and dust is in the bucket.
This is my theory on why I don't think
it was Tyler Robinson is the security around him.
First, how do you react when you're trained security?
You would have pulled a weapon out
to possibly neutralize the threat.
No one did.
Second, you would have, especially as trained security,
you also have medical training.
You would have squeezed off.
You're like, well, what do you do to a gunshot one?
You're right, it's kind of technical,
but you would have squeezed that vein
or you'd at least applied pressure,
even if you're a dummy, right?
So they didn't do that.
You could see their hands are beautifully clean
when they're picking him up.
No one has an inch of blood on them.
And then the third thing I used to say was,
it is a little bit sus that they called
Ben Shapiro's security detail on the way to the hospital.
But I've also heard it's normal in that industry
when something big happens to call other counterparts
to let them know, you know, like,
if you're a pilot and the weather's bad,
you're gonna call the other pilot.
No, the weather's bad.
When there's accidents in the explosive industry,
all our phones are ringing
whether they were competitors or not.
You all hear about it.
And so I'll let my third point go,
but those are the two main reasons.
And then I also thought like as they joke,
before it went off, they were giving more hand signals
than a T-ball game or a baseball game.
Anyways, so that's my thought.
I just think it's too convenient.
Also, yeah, the text messages,
the messaging on the bullets,
that was too much for me.
Should we do one more?
No.
He's seen enough, he's seen enough.
Yeah, I've shot enough 30 out of six.
I know, I mean, trust me, I know it'll go through the steel,
it'll blow a chunk of meat, all the pieces.
And I've seen it do crazy things.
Okay, let me read this last one though,
because this is a great way to end it.
The people who believe Charlie Curt was shot
with a 30 out of six believe
that the government actually cares about you.
The only opinion I have is on shape charges,
a little bit about the ballistics of shooting
because I've shot a lot.
I'm not gonna make generalizations about it.
You like red that you're a communist.
And all the people who believe this believe it.
I don't waste my time saying that.
I don't have an opinion on that.
It's not true for me.
I was thinking, would you weigh back in with me?
Okay, I hope this doesn't go to trial.
I really don't.
But if it goes to trial, then maybe you can make a better
speculation on what do you think happened?
If I can stick my head up from my work long enough
to pay attention, then I'll sit down.
If I ever sit down, how many times
I actually sit down with you?
I was gonna say, you live vicariously through,
your news comes to you through my vicarious updates
of when we see each other in person.
I'm always busy sweating emails and phone calls
and you tell me what's going on in the world.
Yeah, okay.
But that's not, well, I mean, I'm just thinking,
I gave my clear, concise thoughts.
I have to say, I mean, you know me,
I have a good picker and a good PS.
You know, I don't know, I just feel,
I just know when something's off.
And it's kind of funny.
I'm not, I mean, I am tooting my horn literally,
but I'm very grateful that the rest of the world
also is tooting right now.
I honestly, I didn't, I was feeling really alone that day
when the same week, like within the minutes of,
oh, we got him and everything's falling perfectly into place.
I was already feeling alone and frustrated
telling my boomer father, no, no, no, no.
You know, this is-
Oh, I'd be very suspicious.
I'm not saying I believe that this kid did it.
Okay.
I don't know, I don't have an opinion on that.
I only am giving my opinion on physical evidence
of an event of an explosive versus ballistic event
that I saw on a screen.
I don't, I'm not sharing my opinion
on whether I think that kid did it or not.
I don't know, that could be, believe me,
I've been on both sides of things that you can talk about
and can't talk about and we don't know crap.
I'm telling you right now,
we the general public don't know crap.
That's my, that's the best way to end it.
Ladies and gentlemen, we don't know crap.
Make sure and follow Matt at Matt Explode Stuff.
Plug me and I'm at Beth Higgendorf.
And what?
I was saying, plug me.
Plug you?
Just be like and follow Beth.
Oh yeah, follow Beth Higgendorf.
At Beth Higgendorf.
At Beth Higgendorf.
All right, love you guys.
What did you say?
We don't know crap.
I love it.
We don't know crap.
Later, Gators.
Quantum bombs.
