After Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination, the flood of conspiracy theories hit almost immediately.
Claims of false flags. Staged scenes. AI-generated notes. Wrong suspects. Government setups. Everyone had an explanation—but very few were based in verified fact. And while prosecutors have released a detailed charging document, much of the public still doesn’t fully trust what they’re hearing from official sources.
So how do we handle that tension—between asking valid questions… and falling into a rabbit hole of speculation?
In this episode of Hidden Killers, former FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down:
- Why conspiracy theories form so fast after public tragedies
- How uncertainty, outrage, and digital noise fuel mass doubt
- Whether there’s any truth to some of the theories, and which have already been clearly debunked
- How to stay open-minded without being manipulated by misinformation
- And what it means to think critically, even when emotions run high
