Chuck Holton's relationship with Victor Marx
"Hey everybody, Chuck Holton here. How's it going? I got something to talk to you about today and I don't usually get involved in spats between celebrities or anything like that, but Candace Owens has been saying some pretty slanderous things about my friend Victor Marx and she had a guy on her show the other day who had some dealings with Marx and was a tell-all interview, right? And I just finished watching it and I just feel like I have to push back on what was said in that interview. So I'm gonna take it point by point."
Let me start by saying I've known Victor for many years going back to about 2014 or so. Yeah about 2014. When the Islamic State took over Syria and tried to take over Iraq, I was covering that there. And as you all know, I'm also a member of a humanitarian aid organization called the Free Burma Rangers.
So I was in Iraq, in Mosul, shortly after the fight kicked off to try to retake Mosul from the Islamic State. Victor Marx came and joined us. I got to meet him there for the first time and he had some other guys with him and they came up and saw what was going on and ascertained what the need was. And he ended up buying a $125,000 armored ambulance for the Free Burma Rangers and donating it to them.
So he has helped the Free Burma Rangers many times and with hundreds of thousands of dollars. So we got to know each other there. We hit it off and in the intervening years between then and now, Victor and I have traveled together to lots of countries, Mexico, Panama, we've been to Columbia together, went to Haiti together, all over.
But if anything, he is a great example of what redemption really looks like because once he gave his life to Christ, Christ took all of those terrible things that happened to him as a child and turned them into who Victor Marx is today, which is a guy who literally spends his life going around and helping the people who need it the most in the places where nobody else wants to go.
Chuck Holton's talks about Corby Hall and Fold AR
The next thing that Corby goes on to say is that when Victor Marx got to know him and his business, the Fold AR, that he took a real interest in it and wanted to help Corby be successful, got him some potential investors and looked into things like that. But then Corby says that he started talking about this mission that he was doing in Haiti where he, and all Corby says is that he said he wanted to blow the head off somebody who was climbing the fence into this orphanage.
And then Corby goes on to say he also later on requested 50 guns that he wanted to take down to Haiti. Again, that’s probably more aspirational than anything where he just was like, man, it really would be nice if I could just take 50 guns down there.
Now a lot of the claims that Corby is making on Candace Owens’s show revolve around what Victor and I did down in Haiti. And I’ll just tell you that if you have never run in these circles, if you’ve never lived in this world that goes to war zones all across the planet, yeah, it’s going to seem a little sketchy, a little weird for you to be, for a guy like Victor Marx to be arranging for security for orphanages in Haiti or for girls’ homes in Cambodia or for shelters for battered and trafficked girls in Iraq.
Corby then says, well, when we had that last meeting, Victor and all his guys were wearing body armor when I went to his house and they were wearing it the whole time as an intimidation tactic. No, that’s not an intimidation tactic. Anybody who has worn body armor for any amount of time knows that you’ve got to have that stuff broken in.
And next thing I know, he says, I’m sending you a Fold AR. So give me your FFL number. So I gave him the number of the gun store that I go to down the street. And he sent me one of those Fold ARs that Corby Hall makes. It’s a very good gun. I like it. But now after watching this video with Corby, I realize why Victor Marx bought several of those guns to send to those of us who went on that mission. It’s because he was trying to help out Corby.
Corby Halls' Business and Personal Struggles
Now, Corby went on to accuse Victor Marx of like predatory business practices because he made him an offer for his company right after Corby went on to describe how he had been on drugs. He had divorced his wife. Victor tried to help him get things worked out with his wife, getting some counseling and things like that. He was suicidal. He had all these terrible things happening because he was broke and he really needed money really bad. And Victor said, well, I want to help. And so he went out and tried to find investors who would help Corby in his time of need.
Now, the deal that Victor was able to come up with was nowhere near what Corby was hoping for. And it soured his relationship with Victor because it was like it was almost an insult, I think, the numbers that Victor came up with. But it’s, number one, it’s not Victor’s job to pull Corby’s chestnuts out of the fire, but he did so voluntarily and tried to come up with a workable solution for him that would let him remain a part of the company and have day-to-day control and things like that.
And Corby Hall’s marital problems, his financial problems, his drug problems, none of those things were Victor Marx’s fault. But Victor, when you actually know Victor and you read between the lines of what Corby is saying, you can see that Victor Marx was doing trying to do nothing but help a friend who was in need. And that’s who Victor Marx is.
The Retooling Prayer
Corby, she has him on the show so he can kind of tell her his experience with Victor Marx. The first thing he talks about is that when he met Victor Marx, he wanted to pray with him and try to uncover any spiritual strongholds that might have existed in Corby’s life. And Corby maybe had not been exposed to that kind of prayer before. I’ve been with Victor when he’s done that same kind of prayer with friends of mine. And it is a little strange if you’re not used to that sort of thing, but it seems to be very effective. And it is certainly not done out of a desire to manipulate or anything like that.
