RE: Formal Request for Documentary Substantiation of Public Claims — Deadline May 19, 2026
Mr. Marx:
I am Michael Brown, host of The Situation with Michael Brown on KOA News Radio 850 AM / 94.1 FM, Denver, Colorado, and a designated moderator of the Republican Gubernatorial Primary Debate to be held on May 27, 2026, by the Centennial Institute of Colorado Christian University.
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, you appeared as a guest on the Peter Boyles program on KNUS 710 AM. During that hour-long interview, you made a number of specific, verifiable public claims regarding your personal history, your organizational activities, your professional credentials, and your relationships with law enforcement and government agencies. Those claims are a matter of public record, having been broadcast on a Salem Radio Network affiliate and transcribed in full.
As a debate moderator and a talk show host, I have an obligation to my audience — and you have an obligation to Colorado voters — to ensure that the record is accurate. This letter constitutes a formal, good-faith request for documentary substantiation of the specific claims enumerated below. Each request identifies the claim you made, the date and broadcast on which you made it, and the category of documentation I am requesting.
I am requesting your response — with supporting documentation — no later than
Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time.
That deadline affords your campaign fifteen days to respond and affords me eight days to review any materials prior to the debate. It is, by any reasonable measure, sufficient time for a campaign asserting that its claims are fully documented.
Responses may be directed to me at:
Michael Brown | michael@thesituation.us
KOA News Radio, 4695 South Monaco Street, Suite 400, Denver, Colorado 80237
If you decline to respond, or if you respond without providing the requested documentation, I will note that fact — accurately and without embellishment — at the May 27 debate and in my broadcast coverage of this primary.
DOCUMENTARY REQUESTS
1. The 40 Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you stated — twice — that All Things Possible Ministries has entered into 40 Memoranda of Understanding with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in connection with your children's task force. REQUEST: Please provide a complete list of all 40 agencies, the date each MOU was executed, and a copy of each MOU. MOUs with governmental entities are public records. If any MOU is subject to a confidentiality provision, please identify the agency and the nature of the restriction.
2. Martial Arts Credentials — Certifying Authority
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you acknowledged that your 7th degree black belt in what you described as 'K-Judo,' your 7th degree in karate, and your 4th/5th degree in weapons all derive from a proprietary martial arts system created by your biological father. Your campaign materials and public biography have presented these credentials without that disclosure. REQUEST: Please provide (a) the formal name of the certifying organization; (b) documentation of that organization's recognition by any state, national, or international martial arts federation; (c) the date each rank was conferred; and (d) the name and contact information of the individual who conferred each rank.
3. Camp al-Hol Rescue Operation — Syria
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you described a five-person, five-day operation to rescue a woman held for nine years by ISIS at Camp al-Hol in Syria. You stated that your wife was the point person for the operation, that former Delta Force and CIA/JSOC personnel participated, that you possess passport records documenting your presence, and that the operation is fully documented. REQUEST: Please provide (a) travel records (passport stamps or equivalent) confirming your presence in Syria during the mission period; (b) the name and contact information of the former Delta operator and CIA/JSOC personnel you referenced; (c) any coordination documentation with the Syrian Democratic Forces, Kurdish Peshmerga, or other local authority; and (d) any written record of the intelligence handoff to U.S. or allied agencies of the ISIS-linked phone you described obtaining.
4. Haiti Operations — Documentation of Presence and Activities
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you described three 'insertions' into Haiti, stated you had direct contact with the Haitian president who provided passage, and that your team operated in coordination with the Love A Child orphanage. You also stated explicitly: 'We brought no one out. There was no rescues.' This statement directly contradicts language on your campaign website that states your teams served people 'many of whom were rescued from captivity.' REQUEST: Please provide (a) travel records documenting your presence in Haiti; (b) documentation of the claimed contact with and authorization from the Haitian president; (c) written confirmation from Love A Child Ministries of your team's role; and (d) a written explanation from your campaign of the discrepancy between your on-air statement that there were no rescues in Haiti and your website's language referencing rescues from captivity.
5. Gaza Entry — Documentation of IDF Coordination
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you stated that you entered Gaza City with an IDF special operations team and that your purpose was 'just to pray.' You also stated there were 'no kinetic rescues' in Gaza. REQUEST: Please provide (a) travel records documenting your entry into and exit from Gaza; (b) the name or designation of the IDF unit that escorted you; and (c) any written coordination document, invitation, or authorization from IDF or an affiliated NGO confirming the circumstances of your entry.
6. The West Bank — Palestinian Forces Training
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you stated that the 'commanding general of the Palestinian' contacted you and invited you to train elements of Palestinian forces in the West Bank in self-defense techniques, and that you attended with a former Delta operator and that the event was 'recorded' and 'all documented.' REQUEST: Please provide (a) the name and title of the Palestinian military official who extended the invitation; (b) travel records documenting your presence in the West Bank; and (c) a copy of or link to the recording you referenced.
7. Dave Eubank and Free Burma Rangers
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you stated regarding Free Burma Rangers founder Dave Eubank: 'I was the one who brought him in.' This characterizes you as instrumental in Eubank's deployment to Iraq and/or Syria. REQUEST: Please provide documentation — correspondence, formal partnership agreement, or a statement from Dave Eubank or Free Burma Rangers — confirming the nature and chronology of your relationship with Free Burma Rangers and the claim that you initiated Eubank's involvement in the region.
8. The Mosul Firefight
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, you stated that your team was fired upon by ISIS forces in Mosul, returned fire, and that the U.S. Department of Defense was aware of your armed civilian presence in the area and raised no objection. REQUEST: Please provide (a) travel records documenting your presence in Mosul during the period described; (b) any after-action documentation of the engagement; and (c) any written communication with DoD, State Department, or U.S. military command confirming their knowledge of and non-objection to your armed civilian presence.
9. Legal Name
Your DD-214, which your campaign released publicly in November 2025, reflects your legal name at the time of military service as Vaugh Victor Kennedy. You are running for Governor of Colorado as Victor Marx. REQUEST: Please provide a copy of any court order legally changing your name from Vaugh Victor Kennedy to Victor Marx, including the date, jurisdiction, and case number. If no formal name change was obtained, please provide a written explanation of the basis on which you use the name Victor Marx in your campaign filings and public representations.
10. Campaign Website — 'Rescued from Captivity' Language
On the May 2, 2026 Boyles broadcast, the producer located and read aloud language from the Marx for Governor campaign website stating that your teams have 'served more than 45,000 women and children, many of whom were rescued from captivity.' You responded, 'Well, that sounds accurate.' You then stated the figure is now 'over 100,000.' You also stated that no rescues occurred in Haiti and no kinetic rescues occurred in Gaza. REQUEST: Please provide (a) a written breakdown of the methodology by which your organization counts individuals 'served,' distinguishing between those who received trauma care or supplies and those who were physically extracted from captivity; (b) documentary support for the 45,000 figure and the 100,000 figure you offered on air; and (c) a list — even if anonymized by country and year — of documented extractions from captivity that your organization conducted. Also, provide written documentation of your organization’s definition of “served” “trauma care” or any other definition of your organization’s mission other than “rescued” or “delivered from captivity” or otherwise removed from captivity.
I want to be direct with you about the purpose of this letter. I am not your opponent. I am a talk show host and a debate moderator. My job on May 27th is to give Colorado Republican primary voters the information they need to make an informed decision. That includes holding every candidate — not only you — to the same standard of substantiation.
Every item in this letter is based on a claim you made voluntarily, publicly, in your own words. If the documentation exists — as you have repeatedly asserted it does — producing it should be straightforward. If it does not exist, or if the documentation contradicts the claims as made, Colorado voters are entitled to know that before they cast a ballot.
I look forward to your timely response.
Respectfully,
Michael Brown
