#69 Charlie Kirk’s Assassin · The Family Made the Call. The FBI Took the Bow.
A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen
About
Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah. The rifle is recovered, the suspect arrested, and the bullets reportedly engraved with ideology.
It wasn’t the FBI that solved the case. It was a father who picked up the phone and turned in his own son. The Bureau? They claimed the spotlight anyway.
In this episode of Think First, we unpack the Bureau’s credit grab, the headline war over “shooting” vs. “assassination,” and why the first story you hear is rarely the truest one.
