What Is The Name Of Charlie’s CURRENT Security |
| By Jeff Rense Exclusive to Rense 9-18-25 |
Update 10-1-25 - Since the shooting on 9-10-25, many have looked into Charlie’s ’Security’ situation, trying to determine the name of the company that was being paid to protect him. To our knowledge, no one has found the NAME of a company or group that was being paid to currently keep him safe. Most are surmising that TPUSA had contracted with a private group of Israelis and perhaps other independent contractors to provide security. No names have been found or released to our knowledge.
We were able to find this... "Gregory Shaffer, founder and CEO of Shaffer Security Group, which provided security details for Kirk and his conservative youth group, Turning Point USA, from 2015 to 2022, said guarding against that kind of threat would have been challenging for any private security team." _________________ Here is what we found with AI... "What is the name of Charlie Kirk’s CURRENT Security Team?" 1. ChatGPT-5 failed, or refused, to name Charlie’s Security Firm when he was killed: "I was not able to locate credible information identifying the specific name of the private security firm currently or most recently employed by Charlie Kirk. News reports describe that he had a personal security detail (≈ five to six people) and that former security for him was managed by Gregory Shaffer’s firm until 2022." After a deeper dive, ChatGPT-5 produced this: "Short answer: There isn’t a verified public name for a current security firm protecting Charlie Kirk. Recent reporting after his Sept. 10, 2025 killing says he traveled with a small private detail (about five–six people) while venue/campus police handled the outer layers—but none of these reports name a present-day firm. AP News+1 What is documented is his former arrangement: Gregory Shaffer’s Shaffer Security Group oversaw Kirk/TPUSA security from 2015–2022. After that, outlets describe an unnamed in-house/private team, not a specific contractor. AP News+1 If you’ve seen a claim naming a firm, share it and I’ll vet it against primary sources." ___________________________ 2. Google AI refused to even accept the question. ___________________________ 3. Grok says: "Shaffer Security Group. Charlie Kirk's current security team was Shaffer Security Group led by founder and CEO Gregory Shaffer a former FBI agent. This firm provided protection for Kirk and Turning Point USA events from 2015 until at least 2022 and reports indicate it continued into 2025 including during his fatal shooting at Utah Valley University on September 10 2025. Kirk typically traveled with a detail of about 5–6 guards coordinating with local police for events but the private team focused on his personal protection. Recent analyses of event footage have raised questions about their positioning and actions though no official changes to the team were reported before his death." ____________________________ So, our best guess is that Shaffer continued to provide ‘security’ right up through the assassination. We found this about the name: Shaffer Name Meaning: South German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) (Schäffer): variant of Schäfer (see Schaefer ).
