The American Comeback Tour Cut Short by Charlie Kirk's Assassination

Showing 37 American Comeback Tour videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

The American Comeback Tour was Charlie Kirk's final campus speaking tour, intended to include at least fifteen stops before it ended after a single appearance. Kirk arrived at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, for the tour's opening stop, greeting the crowd and tossing MAGA hats before beginning his signature open-forum "Prove Me Wrong" session; roughly four hours earlier, suspect Tyler Robinson had already positioned himself on a rooftop 200 yards from the courtyard where Kirk would speak. The event proceeded normally until student Hunter Kozak stepped up to question Kirk about gun violence and mass shootings, at which point a single shot ended the appearance and Kirk's life. Donald Trump Jr., in his first interview after his friend's death, discussed with Megyn Kelly the transgender-related inscriptions found on the recovered ammunition. Separately, 71-year-old George Zinn's false on-scene confession to the shooting, later revealed to be an attempt to help the actual shooter escape, added confusion to the tour's final hours and led to unrelated child pornography charges once investigators searched his phone. PragerU's later tribute to Kirk described the tour's opening stop as an event meant to embody his life's work of open, respectful campus debate.
