    S6 B1 Charlie Kirk Assassination: FBI Expert Katherine Schweit Explains What We Know
    Sep 18 2025
    Subscriber Exclusive Early Access In this special briefing, retired FBI executive Katherine Schweit — former head of the Bureau’s Active Shooter Program — brings her insider expertise to unpack the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk. Recorded just days after the Utah campus shooting, Katherine cuts through the noise of conspiracy theories and political spin to deliver verified facts: how the sniper carried out the attack, what evidence investigators recovered, and why the suspect’s background and online activity matter. Drawing on her decades inside the FBI, Katherine explains the investigative process step by step — from sniper tactics to forensic analysis, possible charges, and how law enforcement builds a timeline to uncover motive. She also connects this case to the broader patterns she saw while leading the FBI’s response to mass shootings: political, ideological, or ego-driven violence that thrives in an atmosphere of hate. Most importantly, Katherine leaves listeners with a call to action: recognize the warning signs, take responsibility for how we speak and share online, and choose kindness over division. Because preventing violence starts long before a trigger is pulled. Relevant Resources and Links: Support us on Patreon for exclusive content and early access.
