EOD Experts, Fort Huachuca, and Listener Comments

At 57:10 · chapter starts 52:45

Owens reads a detailed email from military Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians — a couple who both work with explosives professionally — who confirm that PETN blasting caps can cause catastrophic injury with less than one gram of explosive, that shaped charges are commonplace in IEDs, and that among their peer group, the consensus is the wound was inconsistent with a conventional rifle shot. They note that shaped charges can be made from a wine bottle, and that stealing materials from military, police, or commercial sources is described as 'very easy.' Owens uses this as a rebuttal to online critics who dismiss her theory as technically impossible. She then moves to viewer comments, including one noting that Erika Kirk 'could clear up a lot of the speculation in a single afternoon' but has now spent nine months proving she won't, and another flagging that Charlie Kirk's phone and microphone were returned to Turning Point USA rather than retained as evidence — a detail Owens finds deeply suspicious. The episode closes with a preview: tomorrow, another source with a memory of Erika Kirk working as a realtor for a modeling agency.

Military EOD technicians emailed Owens confirming that shaped charges are standard in IEDs and easy to construct — even from a wine bottle — and that among their professional community, the consensus is the wound was not caused by a conventional rifle. Each blasting cap contains less than one gram of PETN and can cause catastrophic damage.
