In this video, I dig into the story told by Brian Harpole — the former head of Charlie Kirk’s protection detail — and challenge his claim that he was never legally allowed to fly a drone on the day of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Using publicly available information (news reports, legal precedent, and FAA rules), I explain why Harpole’s statement doesn’t hold up. Was his claim a misunderstanding, deliberate misinformation, or something more complicated? I break down:

What Brian Harpole says about his role and the drone

The relevant drone laws and FAA restrictions

Evidence and expert perspectives that contradict his version

Why his narrative matters in the broader conversation about the assassination.
