A Tribute to Charlie Kirk: The Dialogue Champion Murdered for Bridging Political Divides at 31
Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative commentator and family man, was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025. His wife and two young children witnessed the tragedy. Kirk dedicated his career to fostering dialogue across political divides, believing that when people stop talking, violence follows. His murder has revealed a disturbing celebration among segments of the left, with polls showing nearly half of liberals find political assassination justifiable. This tribute examines Kirk's life, his commitment to peaceful discourse, the horrific reactions to his death, and what his assassination means for the future of American political dialogue.
The Best of Us
Charlie Kirk was the best of us. A 31-year-old husband, father of two children aged three and one, and a man who had done everything right. He stayed within the law, respected everyone around him, was a devoted Christian and family man with no criminal record. If Charlie had done anything wrong, word would have traveled through the networks—but for years, there was nothing but glowing praise.
The truly heartbreaking reality is that his wife and those two young children were present when he was shot and killed. At 31, Charlie Kirk had not lived nearly long enough. His phone, like any married father's, was filled with footage of everyday family moments—his daughter excited to see him on stage, teaching his three-year-old about responsibility and earning rewards, showing her that you don't just get everything you want, but that good behavior and being a good person matter from the very beginning.
Building a Family: The Greatest Joy
In one conversation with a group of podcasters, Charlie explained what mattered most to him: "I can tell you I'm super blessed. I have the best wife in the world. We have an amazing life. Building a family is the coolest thing ever. And my prayer for all of you is that you one day can do that. It's honestly the most joyful thing. And I've had some pretty amazing experiences. I've been very blessed. Very lucky you could say, but very blessed is the word I would use. And the greatest joy I've ever had is coming home to my little daughter running up to my leg. There's nothing that even comes close to it. Not flying on Air Force One, not meeting with presidents. That pales in comparison to your little girl coming up and squeezing your leg."
If every family in America was like that, you wouldn't even need a police force. He was living the proper example of a virtuous life—a virtuous and decent man.
The Dialogue Guy: Fighting to Keep America Talking
Charlie Kirk was instrumental in promoting dialogue over division. He spoke to more leftists than most conservatives would ever desire to. His entire career was built on one principle: "I am a center-right Republican. I would like to have a dialogue so our country doesn't disintegrate. Really not an extreme position."
Kirk traveled to universities across America having challenging conversations. As he explained to one leftist woman who couldn't comprehend his approach: "I go around universities and have challenging conversations because that's what is so important to our country—to find our disagreements respectfully. Because when people stop talking, that's when violence happens."
The woman responded with confusion, unable to understand why he would do this. Kirk continued: "There's more people that agree with me than some people would actually believe. And they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this. We record all of it so that we put on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that's when you get violence. That's when civil war happens because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity."
Charlie Kirk was the olive branch from the right. He was as centrist and milktoast as you could get—the dialogue guy who extended peace rather than provocation.
He Knew the Risks
Despite his commitment to peaceful dialogue, Kirk understood the dangers he faced. He knew that at the core of the left was a propensity for violence over conversation: "At the core of the left, at the core of a liberal is someone that would use the sword if they had it. They are very violent people at their core. They always have been. They can't debate. They can't have conversation. So they'll resort to these tactics. They're going to do everything they possibly can to try to murder this movement because they can't beat us. So they're going to try to take weapons. And no, we're very aware of that. I'm aware of it. We have to have full-time security. This is not a joke. This is who these people are."
Kirk had warned about the spreading assassination culture on the left, noting that 48% of liberals said it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk, and 55% said the same about Donald Trump. He wrote: "The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture, tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials has turned the left into a ticking time bomb."
The progression from "punch a Nazi" to shooting political opponents was predictable. It was only a small step—the thin end of a very short wedge.
The Worst of Us: Celebrating Murder
After Charlie Kirk's assassination, approximately 25% of America celebrated. This is difficult to comprehend because if the most milktoast centrist Democrat were shot, conservatives would instantly condemn it. When Democrat Senator was shot by a Republican in Minnesota, no Republicans cheered. When Jo Cox was murdered in 2016 in the UK, no one on the right celebrated.
But the response to Kirk's death was different. One tweet received 179,000 likes: "Maybe Charlie Kirk shouldn't have spent years being a hateful demagogic fascist and this wouldn't have happened." Another stated: "F these people. I do not care. They have grifted tirelessly for years to tear this country apart making everything worse and putting us all in danger. Charlie Kirk wouldn't piss on you to put you out if you were on fire. An evil man who sold his humanity long ago."
These descriptions bore no resemblance to reality—they were projections of the accusers' own characteristics onto an upright family man who was ideologically the furthest thing from a fascist.
Witnessing the Horror
A young woman who was present at Utah Valley University that day shared her testimony through tears: "I just witnessed Charlie Kirk get assassinated. It was the most awful thing I've ever seen in my life. He shot him in the neck and blood went everywhere. And the worst part of it all was the liberals who were there were cheering."
Young leftists posted videos celebrating online, dancing to music with captions about Kirk's death. Democrats in the House booed when representatives tried to hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. At TMZ, producers cheered and whooped in the background when they received confirmation that Kirk had died—later claiming unconvincingly that they were watching a car chase.
When confronted about whether Democrats needed to tone down their rhetoric, Elizabeth Warren responded dismissively: "Oh, please. Right. Why don't you start with the president of the United States and every ugly meme he has posted and every ugly word." She refused to acknowledge any responsibility, despite Kirk having spent his early career trying to be conciliatory, believing he could unite people through winning ideas rather than division.
The Other Half
While half of Democrats think political assassination is acceptable, the other half responded with appropriate horror. Cenk Uygur, who few expected to land on the right side of this issue, posted: "Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah giving a speech there. I just found out he's passed away. I can't believe he's dead. He was shot in the neck. Violence is not the answer. This is a horrific tragedy and we're all in danger now. This is a terrible, terrible thing to do. Violence is intellectual surrender. It's giving up and saying, 'I'm a loser. I don't know how to win in a battle of ideas. I'm going to resort to violence like an animal.' It is the very last thing anyone who's progressive or on the left would ever do. We are for nonviolence. We are for peace. We are for our fellow human beings."
A young Zoomer podcaster broke down in tears discussing Kirk's death, only to have his own audience turn on him in fury for showing compassion. The left has been cultivating an audience of psychopaths for years.
The Reaction vs. Trump
The emotional response to Kirk's assassination differs from the attempted assassination of Trump. Taking shots at the president, while despicable, at least involves someone in the kinetic sphere—an elected political figure who operates in the realm of executive power and military action. Charlie Kirk was just a decent man having conversations. That's what democracy is meant to be: a series of debates on ideas to decide what we think, followed by votes, so we avoid having to kill each other. That's the entire purpose and moral legitimacy of democracy. Kirk was doing his democratic duty, and he was murdered for it.
What Comes Next
Faisal Al-Qassem, a man from Lebanon who has witnessed civil war firsthand, warned: "No one sane relishes civil war. You get thuggish military checkpoints where decent people disappear or die. Criminals running your streets, random murders for inane perceived slights, endless robberies, indiscriminate shelling, injustice upon injustice, deprivation and worse. But this is the direction of travel now. It is up to Trump to make sure the left is thoroughly and comprehensively crushed because otherwise this is exactly what will happen. And it won't just be America. It will be the entire West. It will be one local conflict after another."
President Trump responded strongly: "It is time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country."
Trump continued: "From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others—radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died: the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God. Charlie was the best of America."
Destroying Evil
The question now is whether to make peace with evil or destroy it. Organizations like Antifa must be declared terrorist organizations, and anyone giving them aid must be arrested. This is not authoritarian overreach—it is using existing executive power to address domestic terrorism that has been tolerated for too long.
The left will split between spiteful mutants celebrating death and more decent but misguided leftists who recoil from violence. The right will likely lose some moderates while gaining people who have finally had enough. A sorting mechanism is underway.
What must not happen is the destruction of the moral legitimacy of democracy itself. The average person must recoil when someone expresses support for political violence in the same way we recoil from someone expressing support for history's worst atrocities.
Remembering Charlie Kirk
Charlie James Kirk was born October 14th, 1993, in the Chicago suburbs of Arlington Heights. He was shot and killed at the age of 31 while speaking at the campus of Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025. He leaves behind his wife and two young children who witnessed his murder. His legacy is one of dialogue, decency, family, faith, and the belief that Americans can disagree without resorting to violence. He was, as Trump said, the best of America.
Video Transcript
In in in this uh last segment, I wanted to do a tribute to Charlie Kirk. Um who here he is with his his his beautiful young family, his wife and his his two children. I believe they're three and one. Um sorry. Here they are again on stage. You know, this is a man um who quite frankly was the best of us. He had done everything right. He um stayed with the law. He'd been respectful to everybody around him. He was a good Christian, a good family man. No criminal record. If there if Charlie had done anything wrong, I would have heard about it. >> Yeah. >> Because I'm I'm plugged into all of these networks. Word travels, you know, you get to hear about those people that look, don't trust that person, don't trust this person, this person's cheating on his wife, blah blah. You hear about all of these things, >> you know. So, and obviously I I've heard nothing and I mean for years now I've heard nothing but glowing praise for Charlie. >> The point is is if every family in America was like that, you wouldn't even need a police force. >> He was living the the proper example of a virtuous life. >> Yes. >> He was he was a virtuous and decent man. and and the truly heartbreaking thing is is that his wife and those two young children were present um at at the time that this happened. We said this just before we came on air, but I'll say it again. Um we are sort of all in our mid-40s and even when you're in your mid-40s, you realize that 31 is not very old, right? Um, >> yeah, >> we say that if we got if I got hit by a bus tomorrow, I would still think or I had a decent enough >> innings, right? I had uh uh I wasn't short changed too much in life, but 31, it's just uh >> I mean, stating the obvious, but it's uh >> it's absolutely >> it's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking. Yeah. And with two little kids, I mean >> Yeah, it's truly awful. Here's I mean the short I just want to play a couple of short videos. Um, you know, just showing you who this man was, who his family was. >> We are going to mute the audio though, I'm afraid. >> But, um, yeah. So, this this for any for anyone who's married with kids, this is very familiar footage because your phone will be full of footage like this. I've got footage I took yesterday on my phone of my wife and my daughter playing house with dinosaurs. Uh the dinosaurs are like, you know, drinking tea and going to bed and getting sandwiches. So my my daughter loves dinosaurs, but she's also a little girl. Um and so she likes playing house. And so your your your Facebook profile will be filled with this kind of footage. Um completely normal, completely wholesome. Yeah. I I hope this one doesn't have copyright m music as well. Let's see. >> Oh, it does. Beautiful. >> Yeah. Similar thing. So this is him at stage. His his little daughter. So excited to see him. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um this is this is Charlie Kirk and and just this one doesn't have music. This is this is Charlie um interacting with his daughter and you can see the type of character of the man that he was that even though she's three, even though she's tiny, um he he's already teaching her about responsibility and and you know the duties to be a good person. >> I love you. >> I love you too. >> You don't just get to get everything you want. Okay. Well, you have to be on very good behavior to get such a thing like this. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. You have to behave well. >> Did you earn it? >> Yeah, >> I know. But what did you do for it? Have you been a good girl? >> Yes. >> Okay, I'll get it for you. Yep. And and that's how you get good people um with good parents. They they raise their children right from the very beginning. Um here's Charlie trying to save the soul of a bunch of little hornets. >> I think these are a bunch of porn stars or whatever they are on this on this podcast. >> And I can tell you I'm super blessed. I have the best wife in the world. We have an amazing life. Building a family is the coolest thing ever. And I my prayer for all of you is that you one day can do that. It's >> that's so cute. >> It's um it's honestly the most joyful thing. And I you know I've had some pretty amazing experiences. I've been very very blessed. Very lucky you could say, but very blessed is the word I would use. And the greatest joy I've ever had is coming home to my little daughter running up to my leg. There's nothing that even comes close to it. Not flying on Air Force One, not meeting with presidents. That's all that pales in comparison to your little girl coming up and squeezing your leg. >> Oh, >> yeah. Melt melted the hearts of those tarts. Um, and why did he do what he did? And and he's going to explain it in his own words here. Here he is trying to explain the concept of talking to your enemies as opposed to just fighting them. And you can see this leftist woman, she simply does not compute what he is trying to tell her. >> I go around universities and have challenging conversations. And I'm because that's what is so important to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully cuz when people stop talking, that's when violence happens. >> I've never seen someone do this. >> Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence, assaults, The left. The left. >> Yes. The campus. Antifa. I've been stormed out of restaurants. I've been assaulted publicly. Multiple death threats. >> Okay. So, what's your goal in all this? >> There's more people that agree with me than some people would actually believe. And they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this. We record all of it so that we put on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that's when you get violence. That's when civil war happens because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity. See, and she she just simply doesn't understand the concept of what the right is trying to do. The right has been trying for years to avoid escalation, to avoid violence, and the left, e even a, you know, mildmannered leftist woman like that, the whole concept does not. >> But Charlie Kirk has been instrumental in that as well. >> Yes. >> Like Charlie Kirk has spoken to way more leftists than I'll ever desire to. >> Like this is this has been his entire career. I am a center-right Republican. I would like to have a dialogue so our country doesn't disintegrate. Really not an extreme position. >> So that's what I said right at the top of the show. He was the dialogue guy. >> Yeah. >> Right. He was he was the olive branch really from the right. >> He was as centrist and as milk toast as you could get. >> Right. Yeah. >> Yeah. Um and he knew the risks. This is him talking about the fact that he knows the left um their first choice is violence, not dialogue. at the core of the left, at the core of a liberal is someone that would use the sword if they had it. They are very violent people at their core. They always have been. They can't debate. They can't have conversation. So, they'll resort to these tactics. They're going to do everything they possibly can to try to murder this movement because they can't beat us. So, they're going to try to take weapons. And no, we're very aware of that. I'm aware of it. We have to have full-time security. This is not a joke. This is who these people are. >> That was brilliant. >> Yeah. >> Um >> understood. >> I made a point on the video the other day. Um I'll say again here. Um historically speaking, when you get close to civil wars and rebellions and military coupetars and all that sort of thing, um it's nearly always that the the left engage in assassination and violence first and the right react to it. There's a reason why they're called reactionaries. The forces of reaction. Yeah. Because we're reacting to outrages. >> Yes. >> And there have been so many. >> I mean, look, all all of fascism is a reaction to communism in every time, in every place. So, yeah, whenever you've got a communist, you can see the fascist coming on the horizon. >> Um, Charlie as ever made some really good points. Um, look at him here. This is, you know, slightly old. >> Can I just read this verbatim because this is such a good point. >> Yes, please do. assassination culture is spreading on the left. 48% of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. 55% said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mani. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture, tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. the cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials has turned the left into a ticking time bomb. Never a true word spoken. >> And and then he provides his evidence and look roughly 50% of the US is is on the left and 50% of them think that assassination is a perfectly legitimate way of dealing with political difficulties. Um, I made this point as well, but I'll say it again here that you remember back in 2012 or something or other. There was this thing of punch a Nazi. Remember that? >> Just uh >> Well, got milkshake, didn't you? >> Actively encouraged if someone's on physical enemy of yours on the right. Just punch them. Punch a Nazi. Don't worry if they are actually a Nazi or anything. Just punch them. Well, it's one small step from that to shoot them. >> One small step. >> The media encouraged it every step. It's not even a step, is it? It's it's the path that you're going down. You're going to get there whether you like it or not. >> Thin end of the wedge of a very short wedge. >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And after having you having shown you um you know, the best of us, I'm now going to have to show us the worst of us because, you know, as I say, about 25% of America is fine with this. And that and that's very difficult to wrap your head around because if look if some I I don't even know who a milk toast leftist commentator is anymore because they've all become so radical. They've all become so nasty. But whoever the most milktoast centrist Democrat was, if he got shot tomorrow, I'd instantly condemn it. And I don't know anyone on the right who would be celebrating. >> We we have examples of this. There was um a woman in Minnesota. It was a Democrat senator who was shot by a Republican and I I didn't see any Republicans cheering it. >> No, not one. >> Like this is like when Joe Cox was murdered in 2016 was it? No one celebrated it even though she's a hardcore feminist leftist and remainer. Like no, no one celebrated it. But 25% of America think that this is a tactic. And it has been truly depressing going through the left's Twitter because >> 179,000 likes. >> Maybe Charlie Kirk shouldn't have spent years being a hateful demagoguic fascist and this wouldn't have happened. Like you say, 180,000 likes. >> But interesting how she's taking responsibility for this murder for from the for the left. We the left killed him and that's why this demagoguic fascist got what he was got what he deserved >> again an upright upstanding family man is a hateful fascist. >> Yeah. And even though like ideologically Charlie's the furthest thing from a fascist. Um but it's just look at this. F these people. I do not care. They have grifted tirelessly for years to tear this country apart making everything worse and putting us all in danger. Charlie Kirk wouldn't piss on you to put you out if you were on fire. An evil man who sold his humanity long ago. That is just so obviously not an accurate description of it. >> That's a that's a description of her. That's how she feels. Yes. >> And she has projected that onto someone who obviously doesn't characterization >> is projection. It's all there. Um here's another couple of regular Democrats. I mean, you wouldn't think anything was odd if these guys queued up next to you in the, you know, Starbucks or something. This is a just a couple of regular Democrats who decided that, you know, they were walking past a vigil. >> Yeah. uh for Charlie Kirk and they couldn't help themselves. >> Created sex. >> Do you support his death? >> I do. >> You support his death? Charlie Kirk. >> You support Charlie Kirk being killed? >> Yes, I do. >> On the day he died, you're here at a vigil. >> Yeah. >> For Charlie Kirk and you support his death. >> You do you support a Nazi? >> No, I don't support a Nazi. Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi. >> Yeah. Um, this guy who was attending uh one of these vigils, I I'm won't play this, but he was actually attacked by some Democrats for the crime of remembering a 31-year-old family man >> uh who was brutally killed. Uh this is this is the toughest part. This is actually a girl who was there. She she she was in the stand and she gives you her reaction seeing leftist celebrate. I just witnessed Charlie Kirk get assassinated. It was the most awful thing I've ever seen in my life. He shot him in the neck and blood went everywhere. And the worst part of it all was the liberals who were there were cheering. So I just have one thing to say. >> So >> yeah, I mean that's exactly what they started cheering. >> You know, you know what's really weird? I got a DM after this from shoe on head. I haven't spoken to her in like seven years because like she became a socialist and start hanging out with abortion and stuff and I was like well I'm I'm rightwing I guess and we she had a you know we had a bit of a spur out at each other because I was like socialists are bad people and she had a go at me and so she messaged me last night being like I'm really sorry you were right >> and I was like there's nothing to forgive don't worry about it >> it's totally fine you know I hope you're doing well uh this one is infuriating so yeah that that young family those little that little girl and that little boy going to grow up without parent. >> Um, and this is this is a young leftist reacting to the news. >> I have breaking news. We think that Charlie Kirk >> just died. >> I've got you just cuz of the music. But yeah. >> Yeah, I know. >> That's that's Remember, don't take the bait. She is trying to rage bait you. That's literally it. >> Well, she's showing us who she is. >> Yeah. >> All right. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. thing is when you're young like that, God knows how old she is. Um, and you've never experienced loss. >> I'm just going to play. >> You've never really experienced um >> Yeah, they got Charlie Kirk, bro. >> You've never experienced real horror or anything like that. >> Yeah. >> Um, you just don't know. >> Yeah. >> No, to honestly, it's not that difficult. Even Even if you're even if you're 19 is >> I'm not trying to make excuses. They're despicable, obviously. >> Right. To them, this is entirely theoretical. It's completely absent. >> That's sort of the point I'm trying to make. >> You know, if if this was happening in front of them, they wouldn't have this reaction, I imagine. >> Uh life would come at them a lot harder. >> It's all ling. >> Yeah. >> It's uh it's just pure laughing as far as they're concerned. I would have thought. >> Well, you say that it's also virtue signaling. >> And at least virtue signaling. Yeah. >> At least with these people, they've got the excuse they're young idiots who don't know anything. >> Yeah. >> Um but I mean there is countless and I had to go through it. my morning. Um it was it was it was the it was the toughest morning I've ever had here because it was it was spent going through um Charlie Kirk's family photos and leftist celebrating >> one after the other. But at least these people have the excuse of being young idiots. >> Yeah. >> Um what what's the excuse of this? Democrats in the House start booing when they try and have a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. >> Really? Wow. I've not seen this. >> Let me watch it. It's it's infuriating. >> It's it's it's quite a long clip if you know which which bit it is. But um >> it it genuinely I was watching >> what purpose gentle lady from Colorado rise. >> Yeah, there we go. There's a ruckus at the back there. Won't shut up for it properly. But um but yeah, it's like the idea that I mean it's just crazy. Again, I just think of the conservative reaction to the murder of Joe Cox, which was entirely gentlemanly, right? It was, you know, oh yeah, no, this this is a real step in the wrong direction for the polity itself, and you have to respect that, you know, whether you like it or not, because if you don't, then you are kind of declaring, yeah, we are at war, and actually the more of your guys that die, the better. Yeah. Because we aren't citizens, we aren't count. I I I genuinely don't want Kia Starama taken out or or any >> I don't want him dead. >> I want him to lose his job. >> Yeah. >> I want him to reside. I don't want him dead. >> No, not at all. >> Like God. >> Um I mean this goes on. Um yeah, here we get Elizabeth. I mean and and she hasn't got the excuse of not. >> She's not the got the excuse of being 19 and stupid. >> She's one of the perpetrators. She >> she was actually asked um you know, maybe Democrats need to tone down this this rhetoric a little bit. This is her answer. Oh, please. >> Right. Why don't you start with the president of the United States, right? And every ugly meme he has posted and every ugly word. But you guys started it with him. He was do you not remember in like 2015 2016 when he was running when he was he was trying to be like consiliatory. His his his entire early career was consiliatory. He thought he would be able to unite them and lead everyone by just winning the election. It's almost like trying to be consolidatory is just simply a waste of time with these people. Um I I'll try and do this one without too much commentary. Rabbi Shmuli uh put out a message saying Charlie Kirk has been killed. I need to raise money off the back of this. >> I just want to from now on flat ban on ever featuring Rabbi Schmoolie in anything. >> Yeah. Uh, no matter what happens, we don't ever need to feature him again. I find it disgusting. >> Yeah, totally. Um, infuriating. >> This is This was very mask off. So, this is TMZ. They were doing a broadcast. >> Oh, yeah. >> Um, and I I'll just I'll just prime it for people who don't know, so you know what you're listening for. So, they they're doing this whole long broadcast about Charlie Kirk having been shot. Everybody everywhere, everyone who's in the news is glued to this. >> Yeah. And while he's while he's talking about this, you hear cheering and whooping in the background, and a second later, it gets buzzed through to his earpiece that Charlie Kirk is dead. Um, let's watch this. Um Janet, go >> go go go to um have somebody look at the um Fox >> Trump just posted that he's dead. >> Trump just posted that Charlie Kirk is dead. >> All right. So this is this pull trigger. >> Well, these are these are the people we're dealing with and everyone should know it. The producers got it in the background. They cheered and whooped first and then they buzzed it through to his earpiece. Now he could he could see how bad this looks for TMZ. >> Yeah. They're actually owned by Fox News now. I think they were recently acquired like a few years ago. >> Oh, really? >> Um I checked. They don't get any federal funding. But I mean he he can obviously he he's looking like, "Oh my god, did the mics pick up that background noise?" And then what happens a little later on is another guy comes over who who knows that it was picked up on the background noise and he comes up with an offthe cuff excuse that the reason they were cheering is because they were watching a car chase. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Sure. >> And that's why they were cheering. Nobody has ever whooped and cheered like that for a car chase. And furthermore, there were no car chases going on in California at that time. >> So and but now that because that was the off the cuff excuse. That's what TMZ are going to have to go with. They're going to try and find some some historical example that for whatever reason the background staff >> happen to be watching for some reason. Yeah. Obvious >> It's obvious obvious to say, but it is the measure of their character. The measure of the people that you would whoop and cheer >> is so you're murderous. Your intent is murderous. >> Yeah. >> There's no other way of saying it. >> They're happy about it and there's no doubt about that. As >> Charlie Kirk says, you can tell a lot about a person about how they react when somebody dies. Exactly right. He nailed it. Destiny. >> Watch Destiny. >> I won't make you watch it. Uh but he his thing was he was having a hard go at people who were disavowing it. >> Oh, really? >> So he was attacking other leftists who were disavowing it. And look, >> well, he wants to claim it for the left. Is that is that what you mean? >> I mean, they're all claiming it for the left. >> Okay. >> So Okay. Yeah. But I mean his son is now a full-on >> Austrian painter fan. >> Yes. >> So you know >> a grouper >> disab tried to get the tone right although claimed that we must debate openly and freely without fear. There could be no justification for political violence. So the man who has spent his entire time in office closing down avenue. >> I will lock you up. We are coming for you. We'll have 24-hour courts. >> Guaranteed it. >> Yeah, I guarantee you will regret this. >> This is the man who takes away every single option apart from political violence is now saying that we need open and free speech. >> I mean, Tommy Ray showing the hell out of him there. Are you for real? You would have had him locked up for speaking the truth. You coward. Totally true. And Connor's a good one there. Say, >> yeah, you you put a target on the back of every person you label far right. That's totally true. You're playing the same deadly game as the Democrats in the US. to totally correct. In fact, all of our guys are underneath just giving him hell, which is great. Um, but yeah, this the the brass neck on him. Honestly, I will acknowledge, however, um, that as I showed you that graphic earlier, half of Democrats think it's politically acceptable to shoot people. That's the scale of the problem. There is the other half. >> Um, Chen Yuga got it actually right here. He is responding to one of his followers who was celebrating this and actually he's he subsequently put out a video as well. we watch it cuz it's actually like of all the people who I thought would not land on the right side of the argument, Jenuga was >> he's actually a human being at the end of the day. >> Yes. >> Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah giving a speech there. I just found out he's passed away. I can't believe he's dead. He was shot in the neck. Some of you might have seen an elderly man being dragged away. Turns out it was not him. Authorities don't know who did it. Violence is not the answer. This is a horrific tragedy and it we're all in danger now. This is a terrible, terrible thing to do. Violence is intellectual surrender. It's giving up and saying, "I'm a loser. I don't know how to win in a battle of ideas. I'm going to resort to violence like an animal." It is the very last thing anyone who's progressive or on the left would ever do. We are for nonviolence. We are for peace. We are for uh our fellow human beings. I think much better of Chank having seen this. >> Yeah. >> Um he he got the tone actually right and and and the fact of >> his own skin. It says we're we're all in danger now. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There is that. Yeah. >> Um I I don't think I need to I think I can just play this one without sound. But this is this is a a leftist that I'm not familiar with, but apparently he's some Zoomer podcaster that's doing quite well. >> I mean he he he broke down in tears at this um and he >> Wife and Kids. Yeah, I saw this >> and he he gave a genuine reaction. The interesting thing about this kid is his audience went to war with him. >> Really? >> Yes. >> Well, it doesn't surprise me. >> He his his audience was absolutely furious with him. Um and he's >> they've been cultivating these psychos for years. Like they've genuinely been cultivating an audience of psychopaths. I saw Hassan trying to play it off on his stream being like, "Oh wow, guys, I'm so bothered." And his chat's like, "Don't fed post. Don't f post." They know what they think. They know what they want to say. They just know that they get Hassan banned from Twitch if they did it. So, they're just like, "Yeah, okay, Hassan, we're not going to fed post, but we're going to think it." >> Yeah. And I got to say, um, I'm not yet at the anger stage on this. I'm still in the in the shock and sadness, um, emotional stage of this. I think the anger will come. I think my reaction personally is very different to the reaction with Trump because I mean as you said before I think you were saying before the podcast with Trump it kind of immediately flipped into a win when he was standing up there and he was pumping the fist. There was that, but but also that that that guy did die >> um in the background. That father in the background, he did die. And and I've been trying to think through why am I reacting? So why did I react um with immediate sort of anger to the Trump thing? And yet I haven't even got to anger with this yet. Um and I think it's because taking shots at the president, even though it's despicable and all the rest of it, at least the president is in the kinetic sphere. >> Yeah. He's an elected political figure. Charles K was a commentator. >> Yeah. I mean, but but Trump, you know, will drop missiles on Sulammani or whatever, you know, he he's in the realm of that. >> Yeah. >> Charlie was just a decent man having conversations. And I think that's why it's hit me so differently and I think why it's hit a lot of people just just so differently. The >> And he was doing his democratic duty. >> That's what democracy is meant to be. a series of debates on ideas to decide what we actually think and then we'll have a vote on it so we avoid having to kill each other. That's the entire purpose of democracy. That's the moral legitimacy of democracy. >> Well, and and that's and that's my point about with this question because that's kind of where I'm leaning into don't make peace with evil, destroy it. Um for actually absolutely nailed this one. He he's talking about because there's a lot of energy here that maybe the right have had enough. >> Yeah. May maybe there is going to be what you talked about earlier the reaction there is going to be push back and and this is worth reading. He says no one sane relishes civil war. You get thuggish mil uh milit checkpoints where decent people disappear or die. Criminals running your streets random murders for inane perceived sllights the endless robberies indiscriminate shelling injustice upon injustice deprivation and worse. But this is the direction of travel now. So he's he's he's warning about the dangers of civil war, but this this is the correct >> from Lebanon and has seen this verse. >> I was just going to say he actually knows. >> He actually knows how bad this can get. >> Actually knows. >> Yeah. It is up to Trump to make sure the left is thoroughly and comprehensively crushed because otherwise this is exactly what will happen. And it won't just be America. It will be the entire West. It will be one local conflict after another. Yes, it is on Trump and his guys to crush. >> The problem is the even if he physically crushed them, he has to destroy the moral legitimacy of the philosophy. That's the problem. I >> feel like that was always on shaky ground and now is more or less destroyed, isn't it? >> I mean, it well, it's not not for us to decide. I mean, obviously we think that, but the average person has to recoil when someone says, "Yeah, I'm protrans." In the same way that we recoil from someone saying, "Oh, yeah, I'm pro Hitler." >> Yeah. Right. >> That's that's it's got to end up like that. >> Should we should we see how Trump reacted to this to to this to this point? Let me just play you a minute of >> time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country. From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthc care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scaliz and three others. Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died. The values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God. Charlie was the best of America. >> So, I think he's absolutely right, and I just hope he follows through on this. >> Yeah, it's a strong statement. It's great to hear. Um, >> it's terrible. I can't tell that it's not AI. One of the things I would say is, you know, they could have before now, um, you know, they will know like the antifarcel in Seattle or wherever >> and the funders like >> they'll know which judges are uh like source or which DAS are sort of source funded and they'll sort of know those. It's the political will to actually >> make them terrorist organizations. >> Take them out. Take take them down. >> Declare them as a terrorist organization and anyone connecting giving uh aid and sucker to is arrested. That's what there has to be. This is a terrorist organization. And the thing is we've been saying this for years even like I remember back in like 2016 2017 when they first started doing all of this. It's like okay this is terrorism. And then they shot um what was his name? Harold Danielson or something like that. Aaron Danielson I think it was in California. There's just a shooting of a Trump supporter by an 95 guy. So, look, this is just terrorism. This is just straight up terrorism at this point. They need to be outlawed. >> Yeah. And I think what's going to happen here is that there is going to be a sorting mechanism. The left is going to split between the spiteful mutants who are cheering on the death to the more decent but misguided leftists like Chenk who who who who just they're just wrong, but they're fine. They're decent people. And the right, I think, is going to lose a lot of moderates and gain a lot of radicals. And you know, a lot of people are, you know, saying, "Yeah, I'm actually if Trump was a dictator, I'd be fine with that." >> I don't I don't agree with this line of thought, though. Now, >> I don't, but a lot of people are thinking it. >> I know. I know. I I just want to say no. Trump's already the president. He already has plenty of executive power. He can deal with this problem. >> Let's get to some comments. >> One quick thing I'll say is this. It's obviously a spectrum, right, from being uh some sort of liberal who would never ever use the powers of the state at all. a complete lace fair in every respect. Then you've got a full-blown military dictator like a sula style dictator right >> now. We we've just lived ever since uh well ever since the war, World War II, certainly in the last two or three decades, we've been right down the the end of the the nonauthoritarian Yeah. >> style. So to not Trump, someone like Trump needs to only needs to notch it up a bit. >> Yes. He needs to notch it up a bit to start tackling it. There's a whole spectrum. It's not just Bill Clinton or um Tito, right? There's a whole there's a whole >> So So So just just before we go to comments, Samson, do you want to go full screen on this for a moment? Um Charlie James Kirk, >> born 14th of October 1993 in the Chicago suburbs of Arlington Heights. Charlie was shot and killed at the age of 31 while speaking at the campus of Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025.
