Brandon Tatum Honors Charlie Kirk's Legacy After Tragic Campus Shooting and Dismantles Conspiracy Theories
Brandon Tatum pays tribute to Charlie Kirk following his death in a shooting incident at a campus event. Tatum addresses FBI updates on the investigation, confronts those disparaging Kirk's memory, refutes conspiracy theories about the security team, and calls on Americans to step up with courage in Kirk's honor. He examines the tactical elements of the shooting, responds to critics like Amanda Seales, and urges viewers not to let Kirk's death be in vain.
A Tribute to Charlie Kirk's Character and Courage
Brandon Tatum opens by sharing footage of Charlie Kirk speaking to a 13-year-old about becoming a better citizen. Kirk's advice centered on learning something new every day and developing strong character. He emphasized that courage is the ultimate virtue, quoting Aristotle's teaching that without courage, no other virtues can exist. Kirk told the young person that courage means doing the right thing when you don't know how it will work out, and committing to the correct course of action regardless of the cost.
Tatum reflects on Kirk's legacy, describing him as authentic, honest, well-versed, and deeply committed to his beliefs in America and God. He announces that he has been asked to fill in for Kirk on the show the following week, which he will do with honor. Tatum emphasizes that while he and Kirk may not have agreed on everything, he always recognized Kirk's authenticity and integrity.
A Call to Action and Courage
Addressing viewers who feel lost without Kirk's leadership, Tatum issues a powerful call to action. He urges people who felt inspired by Kirk to step up with courage and boldness. Tatum argues that the problem with the conservative movement is that while most people understand they are right, too many hide in the shadows rather than speaking out. He challenges viewers to stop expecting good men like Kirk to take all the punishment, shame, and violence while they remain silent.
Tatum makes clear that the movement will not slow down following Kirk's death. He promises to go bigger, harder, and stronger than ever before. While tactical approaches may change and more precautions will be taken at events, Tatum insists they will not be scared into silence. He states that Kirk did not die in vain, and his life's mission is to continue holding the standard, believing in God, and encouraging young men and women just as Kirk did.
FBI Investigation Updates
Tatum shares updates from the FBI Salt Lake division regarding the investigation. According to the FBI, they tracked the suspect to the building at 11:52 a.m. Utah time, and after the shooting, tracked the individual jumping off the building and fleeing into a neighborhood. Authorities are asking neighbors with doorbell cameras to turn over any footage that might help identify the suspect.
The FBI reports having good video of the individual, along with footwear prints and palm prints. The weapon used was identified as a bolt-action rifle, which is manually operated and extremely accurate. According to firearms experts, bolt-action rifles have fewer moving parts, which allows for more accurate shots. The weapon reportedly had inscriptions with violent anti-trans and anti-fascist statements on the ammunition.
Images of the suspect have been released, showing an individual in a white shirt ascending stairs. Tatum urges anyone who recognizes the suspect or their mannerisms to contact the FBI Salt Lake office or local law enforcement. The White House has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Addressing Tactical Questions About the Shooting
Drawing on his experience as a former SWAT team member, Tatum addresses speculation that the shooter was an amateur. He argues that making a neck shot from 200 yards on a moving target is not something an untrained person could accomplish. Tatum explains the multiple factors involved in such a shot, including zeroing the rifle, accounting for wind, proper ammunition, breathing technique, and trigger pull.
Tatum notes that even at 100 yards with iron sights, making an accurate headshot is extremely difficult without an optic. At 200 yards with a moving target, the shooter must account for bullet drop, hold over correctly, and maintain composure under pressure. He emphasizes that proper rifle zeroing, understanding how optics can be affected by transport and handling, and knowing how to use a bolt-action rifle all require training.
While Tatum does not believe the shooter was a professional hitman, he maintains that the individual had significant training and skill. He notes that most tactical experts he has seen online agree this was not an amateur operation. Tatum refutes claims that 200 yards is an easy shot, stating that people making such claims likely have limited firearms experience.
Confronting Those Who Disparage Kirk's Memory
Tatum addresses individuals who have made disparaging comments about Kirk following his death. He expresses particular anger at comedian Amanda Seales, who mocked Kirk's death and used out-of-context clips to justify her lack of empathy. Seals referenced Kirk's statements about empathy being a weaponized term and his defense of Second Amendment rights, suggesting Kirk deserved what happened to him.
Tatum explains that Kirk's criticism of empathy referred to how the left weaponizes the concept to demand compromise and virtue signaling rather than genuine understanding. Regarding Kirk's Second Amendment stance, Tatum clarifies that Kirk was not advocating for sacrificing lives but rather explaining that protecting gun rights prevents government tyranny. Kirk had suggested that school shootings could be prevented through the same security measures used at baseball games and Disney parks, not by removing guns from law-abiding citizens.
Tatum points out that places with the strictest gun laws, such as Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia, have the highest rates of gun violence, while areas with fewer restrictions like Arizona have significantly less. He argues that enforcing existing laws and addressing mental illness would be more effective than additional gun control. He also issues a stern warning that he will not tolerate anyone disparaging Kirk in his presence.
Dismantling Conspiracy Theories
Tatum directly addresses conspiracy theories circulating online, particularly claims that Kirk's security team gave hand signals to coordinate the shooting. He explains that no one can enter Kirk's immediate area unless they are part of the security team. The individuals seen in footage adjusting their clothing or hats were team members who have been with Kirk since 2018 and are willing to die for him.
Tatum argues that the conspiracy theories are illogical. He points out that at 200 yards with a magnified optic, a shooter's field of view is narrow and focused on the target, not on someone standing next to the target giving signals. Furthermore, if the security team wanted to harm Kirk, they could have done so in less public ways. Tatum emphasizes that these are men who love Kirk, love America, and have dedicated themselves to protecting him.
He also addresses speculation about whether this was an inside job or elite-orchestrated event designed to start a civil war, which he dismisses. Tatum urges people to stop spreading baseless conspiracy theories that hurt the people who cared about Kirk and are grieving his loss.
Final Thoughts and Moving Forward
Tatum acknowledges that he is still processing the reality of Kirk's death, moving in and out of shock. He reflects on the fact that Kirk will not be at AmericaFest, will not be on campuses anymore, and will not attend events they had planned together. The reality is difficult to accept.
Despite the pain, Tatum emphasizes that Kirk is now in heaven with Jesus, free from pain and suffering. Those who mock Kirk's death have no real victory because Kirk has moved on to eternal peace. Tatum urges viewers to continue praying for Kirk's family and his team, including Andrew Kolvet, Terrell, and the video team who were like family to Kirk.
Tatum concludes by encouraging everyone to support whatever the Kirk family and team put forward in Charlie's honor. He reminds viewers that Kirk's legacy is about challenging people to research and form their own opinions rather than relying on the opinions of others. In Kirk's memory, Tatum calls on Americans to be bold, courageous, and unafraid to speak truth.
Video Transcript
What advice do you have for me as I move into adulthood in order to become a more informed and involved citizen? >> Well, first of all, thank you for being here and I have hope thanks to people like you. How old are you again? >> 13. >> 13. Here's a couple things I want to encourage you to do. Learn something new every single day and focus on what it means to be a good person and a person of strong character. Aristotle said that courage is the ultimate virtue. Without it, there are no other virtues. If people aren't courageous, you don't have honesty. You don't have justice. You don't have beauty. You don't have wonder. And so, at age 13, I want you to commit yourself to a life of courage. Courage is doing the right thing when you don't know how it's going to work out. Courage is committing yourself to the correct course of action regardless of the cost associated to it. Every human being I believe is made in the image of the divine, is sacred, is unique. And if we get away from this principle as we have, we not only have moral degradation, we not only have the collapsing society around us, but it's bad for that being itself. That being itself is unique. That being has rights. And who are we to say just because we're older that we get to murder it? Thank you. the best. >> That is the best. >> All right, welcome back to I just wanted to play that first part. Nick, it was Nick's idea. Great video uh of just a short synopsis of Charlie Kirk. I mean, we could go on for years worth of content, playing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, years worth of content of the amazing things that Charlie Kirk has done and has said. And I I want to continue to honor his life. And the reason why I want to go live because there's updates in this incident that occurred. And I want to give you guys updates on the status that the FBI has exposed and dismantle lies that have been put out there online, criticize people who have criticized Charlie, and you know, dispel some of these naysayers that are claiming that it was conspiracy with his own team. And I know those guys who protect Charlie. Um, and I I want to go through all of that. And I have been asked uh to fill in for Charlie on this show next week. And I and I will do it with honor. Uh, I cannot say it enough. I love Charlie. Charlie was a good man. I I I couldn't find many things I disagreed with Charlie. And if I disagree with Charlie, I still real recognize Real. No one can say that he wasn't authentic, that he wasn't honest, that he wasn't well-versed, knowledgeable, believed in himself, believed in America, loved God. Nobody can have that opinion unless you're a complete idiot. But let me say this. I want to start I want to start it with this because this is on my heart to say because people have been asking me, Brandon, what do we do now? What do we do now? I don't have no direction. I feel lost. I don't know what to do. I'm looking to somebody like you and others who are leaders to tell us what do we do now? I I'm telling you right now, if you had not had courage before, you should have courage now. If you've ever watched Charlie Kirk and you've ever listened to any of his videos and you ever felt inspired by a single word he says to out of out of respect for his legacy, it's time for you to step up. It's time for you to become bold. It's time for you to say something. The problem with the movement that we have is most people understand that we're right. Most people understand that what happened to Charlie was wrong. But will you stand and say something? or will you con continue to hide in the shadows and hope that good men like Charlie and others will continue to take the punishment, the shame, the vitriol, the hatred, the violence for the convenience of you to be free enough to not say anything. And also, we cannot slow down. We will not slow down. What happened to Charlie made me feel sad. I felt angry. But I tell you what, we're going to continue and we're going to go bigger, harder, stronger than ever before. I promise you that. We're not going to stop doing what we need to do on campus. Tactically, we may do things a little differently, but we're not going to stop. We're not going to stop. We're not going to let them scare us out of having a voice. We just got to be more tactical. We just got to take a little bit more precaution. We got to meet fire or fire when it's necessary. And what I'm saying is that when we go to an event, we need to have our team ready with the expectation of something may happen. So, we are we're proactive, not reactive. And nothing against this team. I love those guys. They protected him all this time and there was nothing that they could do about the situation that happened. Looking back on it, we could learn from it, but there was nothing they can do. But Charlie did not die in vain. I want to make that very clear. And my life's mission is to continue to hold >> my life's mission is to continue to hold the standard, continue to believe in God, and continue to help encourage other young men and women the way Charlie did. But there's updates I wanted to let you guys get in real quick. The FBI has made statements that they believe that they found the person that was responsible for this heinous crime, this assassination of a good man. And the FBI has has made mention, and I'll let him say it out of his own words, that they were able to track the person onto the campus, onto the roof, off the roof, into the community. They were able to find a weapon with indicia of violent script on the weapon on the ammunition pertaining to anti-trans and fascist or anti-fascist quote unquote statements. And I'll let the FBI director or the FBI Salt Lake division director take it away. Wrote a clip. >> So the headline came at the end there, Dana. We have images of the suspect. >> That after they gave us a number of details that we were not privy to prior. So they say a number of individuals questioned. They've been released. They asked for privacy for them. At 11:52 a.m. Utah time. They tracked the suspect to that building. They later after the shooting tracked him jumping off the building, fleeing into a neighborhood, and they're asking neighbors in that area if they have doorbell cameras to turn over anything that may uh produce an image. What they didn't say is whether or not he ran there on foot or drove a car. >> But later they said, "We do have good video of this individual. We are confident in our abilities." And with with regard to that, they say they have footwear prints. So perhaps he he was on foot >> and also palm prints >> and they asked for any video and images uh tipped to the website there. This is a boltaction rifle. It is manually operated. It is extremely accurate and according to a lot of gun experts, it has fewer moving parts >> which would give the killer an opportunity to take a more accurate shot. And based on the graphic images that the world saw yesterday afternoon, um that shot was a kill shot. It took one and Charlie Kirk barely had a chance of survival. So with that being said, obviously this wasn't the FBI Salt Lake guy, but pretty much what the Fox News host said was exactly what the FBI person said. Let's put the picture of the suspect here in case you know the suspect or you or you can you can identify his mannerisms. I mean because many times when a person who don't know this person see this they like how do you gonna got sunglasses on whatever people know this person you've seen him you know him somebody saw him on that day with that same shirt or whenever this was captured somebody seen him you can see that a person walking down the stairs with a white shirt to your right with the the the picture to your left but on the right side of that picture is a you can see a white shirt so somebody's passing this guy as he's coming up the stairs. So people have seen him. People know him. Somebody that know him and see him. At first I told you to send it to me because I'd love to go to Salt Lake and take care of this, but I want to do the right thing and be and what would Charlie want me to do? Notify the Salt Lake or your local FBI office. The Salt Lake office is the one that's handling this investigation. If you know it, inform them first. If you somehow don't know how to inform them, call the local law enforcement or call the FBI uh office in your local city. They can disseminate the information across. But when somebody identify this guy, send the information in so he can go to jail. And also, there's a $100,000 reward that the White House has put out on persons who give information that lead to his arrest. There's a lot of rumors out here. There's a lot of speculation out here that I want to dismantle. And well, I'm g say I want to give my opinion on because I don't really know for a fact. Some people that think that this guy was an amateur, it's not true. I do also believe that this guy wasn't a professional hitman. So that's also I don't think it's true that this guy was some hit professional massage agent or something. People blaming the Jews. I saw people blaming Jews for this. But what I will say is that looking at the footage, the boltaction rifle and I and I'm I was on a tactical SWAT team, but I I'm not a marksman. But I know for a fact the amateur person is not going to make that shot. There's too many components that go into that. You have to zero the rifle. You have to at 200 yards, you have to factor for win if you have to have ammo right. You have to have your breathing right. You have to have trigger pull. A random person can't get on there because they saw it on TV or they just thought and they bought a boltaction rifle. You gota you gota they had multiple ammunition. You gota know how to use the bolt action. It's it's a little more to it. Some and and I just don't understand how somebody would say, "Oh, just some random amateur did this." I I just don't believe that. You know, I was on a SWAT team before I left the SWAT team. I was interested in being a SWAT sniper. brother, you the trigger pull alone is something you have to train in order for you to make a good shot like that. And when I say good, I mean accurate. You got to be you got to be training. And for you to accurately zero in your rifle with the op with the optic, you you have to be trained to know how to zero rifle. You you're not just gonna go get it out of the store and take it on the roof and do this. You got to have some training and knowledge about breathing. 200 yards. Breathing is imperative to make a shot at 200 yards. A center mass shot, yes, somebody with a little less training can do center mass, but a but a a next shot when you have someone moving right before you shoot the person from 200 yards in an elevated position, it's a it's a lot to go into that stuff. Your ammo has to be right. And and I don't want to hear nobody I don't want to hear nobody say that 200 yards oh it's not a big deal. Man I shot a 100 yards when I was on the police department and you you can forget about a headsh shot unless you have an optic. You you're not going to do it iron sights that accurately. Then you're talking about a person under pressure. A person who's never done this before. They're nervous. A a random person in my opinion is not going to do this. It it has to be somebody with some level of skill. You don't have to be advanced to the umpthink, but you have to have a level of skill to do that. You're not shoot. You got to have magnification. It's 200 yards. And I swear to I I put this on my life. A lot of people who are who are saying that, oh, it's 200 easy. I I I I I do not believe that some of these people are seriously and they've ever shot a gun or shot a rifle platform pressure like that's that's not it's not that simple. It is I've done it before. It's not simple. Um >> what' he say? >> Yeah. Let me let me play this this gentleman here um who was a sniper and he gave his two cent. I may not go as far as him. I don't know what exactly he said but this is a person who was a sniper and I have heard a lot of other tactical I have not heard a tactical person say that this was a amateur job. I have not heard a single respectable tactical person say that this was an amateur job and that anybody can this is what this guy say right? Am I right? Wrote a clip. >> Hey I keep getting asked about it so I'm just going to make a quick video. Charlie Kirk sadly got shot today. Um, last I heard I'm I'm not sure if he's alive or not. Um, it looked vicious. My condolences to his family. I think it's terrible. Uh, people keep asking me if I think it was a sniper or a professional. And I'll just a couple things. You don't have to be a professional shooter or a sniper to make a 200 yard shot 200 yard shot. And I think that's the last I heard is that it was approximately 200 y. Um, I wouldn't shoot somebody where he got shot if I wanted to ensure they were going to die. Um, if you wanted to make a spectacle, that's a different story. So, my opinion is I have no idea, but you definitely don't need to be a trained sniper or a professional shooter to make a shot at 200 y um, like that one. Now, it depends on the weapon system. I haven't heard anything about caliber or whatever. U, but just to answer that question from my perspective. Anyway, >> yeah, definitely not the clip I thought it was. I don't know who that guy is, but think about this for a minute. You don't have to be trained, but to make a shot at a person's neck from 200 yards away, you one hit, one attempt is not is not that's to me. I disagree with that gentleman there. But all the other tactical people that I've seen online, they they would argue that this wasn't a this wasn't an average person. Now, maybe me and the guy disagree on what he mean by professional. You know, I'm just going to give you this real and I'm going to move on from this, but when I was training on the SWAT team, we went through sniper school. You can't just and and we we weren't hitting people greater than two 300 yards for the most part. I mean, we we're in a city. We're city police. People were hitting people from across the street. That's the 100 yards at most. And you still had to go through an extensive amount of training and qualification in order to shoot like that. It wasn't as simple as It wasn't as simple as that. And ammo. Your ammo. You can't, to be honest, you got to have good ammo, too, cuz your ammo could be off. Your zero can be off. If you're not handling your gun, if you don't know how to handle your gun properly from transport, meaning transporting from your car to the facility and you're not transporting with a good optic and you're not transporting it without bouncing the gun around and hitting it on stuff, some random person don't know that. They take the gun, they think it's all zeroed in, they take it and they bounce it on the thing. And the optic can get off and loose. It could be right here from 200. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't graze the neck. It was a through and through shot from 200 yards. While the person is moving like this, it was a split second. He sat back for just a split second and boom. Anyway, all right, let's move on. Um, I want to go to some of the clips of uh what was see I want to go to some of the clips of these naysayers. Amanda Seals is one of them. Now, this may be disturbing for some people and um I I haven't watched all the other people because I I just don't want to watch yesterday. I was it was too sensitive for me to watch somebody despar like like violence entered into my consciousness when I hear somebody say something about him after he lost his life. And and I'm just saying this and I'm being honest and and and y'all pray for me. I better never hear anybody face to face desparish Charlie in front of me. I better never hear it. I'm going to deck you if I hear you say it in front of me. Just know that. I'm going to deck you. You you you you better never disrespect Charlie in front of me. You can say it online. You can say in front of me. You disrespect Charlie Kirk after he done got shot and killed. You I I'm not going to I'm I'm Hey, just stay away from me. Just stay away from me cuz you think you going to be on a show with me. I don't care if I'm on national TV. The last thing you want to do is disrespect Charlie in front of me. That's that's my that's my red line. You can say whatever you want. You could disagree with with with with what he said. You could disagree with his his theology. You could disagree in a professional way. You disparage or make fun of Charlie Kirk's death in front of me. That's all I'm saying. Don't do it. Please don't try me. I'm I'm I'm definitely not in the mood. Okay. So, with that being said, I saw this clip from Amanda Seals and it was so pathetic. It was such a microcosm of leftist nut job and also black folks. So you got leftist nut jobs, you got deranged individuals, and you got black people who are deranged. These categories are the most disingenuous, most evil people on planet Earth. And not all black people are saying negative things. But let me give you a chart and an explanation of what I'm saying. You have white people over here. White people. This is the total of white people in this in this box chart right here. This little this little bar chart. Out of all the white people, I think 70% of white people would not dare have the audacity to say anything disparaging about Donald about uh Charlie Kirk online. And the other, let's do it like this. two sides. And this is what I was saying to my mother-in-law when I was talking about it. Two sides. This side are the white people that that are love Donald that love uh Charlie Kirk. These are the ones that hate Charlie Kirk. White people. The ones that love Charlie Kirk, I think, are up here. And the ones that hate Charlie Kirk, the the numbers are about down here. Everybody that love Charlie Kirk, 99% of these people are going to go online and say something about Charlie Kirk in a positive way. The ones that hate Du uh Charlie Kirk is just this small list. Most half of these people will say disparaging thing and the other half know better cuz they're going to lose their job. When it come to black folks, the ones that like Charlie Kirk is about right here or that's reasonable. The ones that hate Charlie Kirk is up here. The reasonable ones will say as much as they can online cuz they don't want to look like these dummies over here. And then out of all these dummies, at least half of them will go online and say the craziest, most disparaging thing about Charlie Kirk. and the other ones feel that way. They just won't say it online. So, I believe personally most white people won't disrespect Charlie Kirk and most white people like Charlie Kirk. On the flip side, most black people hate Charlie Kirk. A very small amount of them will say anything positive. Most of the ones who hate him will get online and say something disparaging. And it's a few of them that hate him that will actually be mindful enough to be like that's kind of stupid to say that. I'm just throwing it out there. Let's play this clip of Amanda Seals real quick cuz this was the most agre to me. This the one that that ticked me off the most. Wrote a clip >> for someone like Charlie Kirk. First of all, Charlie Kirk don't believe in empathy. He said it's a bad thing. He said it's some new age madeup >> I can't stand the word empathy. Actually, I think empathy is a madeup new age term that it does a lot of damage. But >> he also said people got to be sacrificed in order to protect guns. >> I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other god-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe. So then how do you reduce? Very simple. People say, "Oh, Charlie, how do you stop school shootings?" I don't know. How did we stop shootings at base? >> If he was saying that while fighting for reparations, I may have a little bit of empathy. But this white-on-white violence, he died. Damn, B. Life comes at you fast. Empathy. Because I have no connectivity. All right, I can't watch no more of her. Just notice she she continues to say this using clips that Charlie has said out of context to try to make her point and mocking his death. It it's no words to describe how I feel about what she said. And if you look at the comment section on this video, it it will make you so upset and it'll make you dislike a certain group of people. Charlie Kirk, first of all, wasn't a racist. Unless you're completely stupid, you wouldn't know that. When Charlie Kirk talked about empathy, he's talking about weaponized empathy, which means that people are weaponizing the word empathy now. Because empathy doesn't mean what it used to mean. Empathy meaning that you had a feeling or or you you could you could understand where somebody's coming from, but they have weaponized that term now. It ain't what it used to be. Now, empathy to the left is compromise or sacrifice all that you are to virtue signal your way into saying, "I really care." even though you don't actually care. Then he talks about uh uh Charlie Kirk. I want to tell you Donald Trump. Charlie Kirk is saying that people should be sacrificed for the Second Amendment. I don't know how people are so stupid that claim that they want reparations and claim that black people were done wrong in this country and don't understand the value of a personal self-defense against the government. The same people who cried about how the government did them wrong. And now that we have a right to have firearms, the government can't do you wrong like that no more. And it's worth fighting for. And of course, you don't play the whole clip because he says, "How do we stop school shootings?" Well, how do we stop shootings at baseball games? Why don't you see mass shootings at baseball games? Why don't you see mass shootings at Disney? Because they take the proper precautions to make sure people don't enter the facility with firearms. How do you protect the school from mass shooting? You make sure you put in proper precautions to make sure people don't enter the campus with firearms. It's not a gun thing. And everybody talking about a gun thing that's talking about a gun thing is just completely stupid. We live in America. You have the right and freedom to keep and bear arms. There's hundreds of millions of guns out here and reasonable, rational people aren't using guns to do harm against people. It's only nut jobs that are doing it. It's only nutty people. So, how about we do this? Out of all the guns, how many of them are responsible for killing nutty people with the gun? So, now let's categorize this like it's okay. The guns in the hands of good people cause no harm. And if anything, they actually thwart crimes against other people. So, they're net positive. They either cause no harm or they're net positive on this side. And let's see where guns are are used in a negative way with people who are nuts. So, how about we deal with the nutty people and we won't have an issue. You take all the guns. When when you going to be able to do that? How you going to do that? And are you going to be able to ensure that the criminals don't have them? I bet you when we find out with this person that that took Charlie Kirk's life, I bet you we're going to find out this person probably should have never had a gun. This person had clear warning signs that they were going to do something like this. I mean, you go down the list. We if we if we just enforce the laws that we already have on the books, we will see a tremendous reduction in violence with guns. And and if you guys ever noticed, the places with the with the highest level of gun laws have the biggest and worst outcome of crime. The highest gun laws in the land have the most gun violence. New York, you can barely get a gun at Philly. Chicago, you can barely get a gun. You can you got to go through all these loops and all this and it's a it's it's a Afghanistan. You go somewhere to Arizona, you don't even need a permit to carry a gun, concealed carry. You don't need a concealed carry permit. You don't need nothing. You go to the store and buy a gun. You can do onetoone transaction with somebody that don't even have to be recorded. You can give people guns in Arizona with no without recording it. I think I'm right on that. I ain't never gave nobody a gun. But you can do all of that. And how much gun violence do we have in comparison to other cities? And I'm going add this in there for people who want to y'all want to keep it real. The places with the most gun violence is the highest saturation of black people. Show me where gun violence and driveby shootings are happening and I'll show you a population where it's majority black. Do you want to bet me? Where you want to bet me? Where you want to bet me? Show me a all-white community that do drive by shootings. Show me an all-white community where you can see online right now a white man running down another white man and shooting him in the middle of the street. Show me a video where a white group of white people catch a white dude riding on a bike, jump out the car, and gun him down, shooting him over 150 times. Okay, since y'all want to be cute, but the thing is is that an Amanda Seals, she can mock she can mock Charlie. It it don't change the fact that I believe Charlie went to heaven. Charlie was a good man. Charlie out of this mess. He gone on with Jesus, having a good time up there with Jesus. No more pain, no more suffering. Charlie up there enjoying enjoying his eternity. So these idiots talking about him have zero weight. However, with that being said, y'all's community and y'all's reality is worsening. Amanda Seals ain't getting any better as a comedian and she not getting any more deals. And black people that think they can grandstand and talk trash about Charlie and say all this stuff. Y'all community's terrible. Most of y'all community terrible. Y'all kids dumb. Y'all young girls go into Planned Parenthood every every weekend. Y'all the ones twerking online. Y'all the ones getting banned from a cruise ship. Y'all the one y'all the ones murdering each other every weekend. Y'all the ones allowing illegal aliens to have a population number higher than yours. Therefore, your vote ain't going to count. Y'all the ones doing that to you. So you can laugh and you can joke and you can say all you want about Charlie Kirk and the white man. Y'all the ones losing your faith in God. Y'all the ones churches are corrupt. It's y'all. So laugh all you want while your community is going through the through the ground. I don't want to hear nobody say none of that. Black people struggling hard is I don't know what man. Nobody want to live around black people. It it's it's it's and that black fatigue thing is real. You see a black man show me a video of a white man randomly stabbing a a black girl on a train. Just randomly stab her for no reason. I got that black girl. Show me a video of that happening. You ain't going to find one cuz y'all the one out here thugging like that. Y'all the one out here killing people. And I'm not saying that there ain't no black people that I mean no white people that's doing it. But y'all doing it at a higher level and got a less amount of population to be doing this incarcerated. Y'all the ones going to jail. Y'all the one fighting the police on the side of the road thinking you all right now you're dead or in jail. That's why I can't stand some black people, man. And they make all of us look bad. I ain't going to lie. Most of them are silly. Most black people are silly. I'm just being hon. It's only a few that got common sense that's reasonable that know how to think for themselves. I I I'm not going to lie and act like, "Yeah, it's half 50-50." It's not 50/50, bro. Is most black people are silly. Most black people you don't want to be around. Most black people dumb. When I say dumb, meaning that they voting for Democrat with no explanation though. They out here agreeing with Amanda Seals and they communities stinking, but they won't say nothing about their own community. Where are the black leaders at that are standing up against black violence in the in the inner cities? Where the leaders at though? Where the protest? Where the crying in the street? And then they talking about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk e have the balls to say it and y'all don't. It's your people. You wouldn't have to worry about a Charlie Kirk saying if you said it, you wouldn't have to worry about him talking about the the the kids out of wedlock in the black community. Y'all should be saying it. But y'all don't want to say it. Y'all two characters to say it. So Charlie have to say it and y'all mad at them. You ain't done nothing to Charlie. Charlie in heaven. Y'all ain't done. You ain't These people ain't one over Charlie. Charlie on with Jesus. They're living a better life than y'all living. >> Think they got a clearer image of the shooter. We just got it in. So, this is a clear image of him. And um if you know him, report him. He said what? >> Y'all see him report him. I hope that justice finds their finds its way to him sooner than later. There's some other there's some other ones on here uh that you put in here, right, Nick? >> Cuz I you know, just know that just know that there are ones out there and maybe in post-production we'll put them on there. I don't want to watch him live. Don Lemon going to New Yorkers. They they obviously New Yorkers made sense. I could play that clip. Let's go to clip six. Don Lemon. >> Oh, you don't have it on there. Okay. Don't worry about it. >> No, don't worry about it. Where the guy that got fired at? >> So, let's go to this guy cuz he got fired allegedly. Now, let me say this because there's conservatives going around and they're finding everybody is disparaging. They're calling their jobs and they're getting them fired. I wouldn't do it, but I'm happy you I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm good that you got fired for going on and being a a piece of crap human being. I'm telling you right now, if if Joe Biden were to get assassinated on television and somebody to work for me went online and posted, "Good for him. I'm glad he You can't work for me. You can't work for me. You too stupid not to go online and say something crazy like that against the president of United States. I don't care how much you don't like them. I can't stand these Democrats. I think they need to be put into the justice system and whatever happens in the justice system should be fair game. But to think I would celebrate a Democrat getting shot in the neck in front of the world, you got to be stupid. Anybody that will post something like that that work for me, you know, and I in all honesty, I I'd probably tell them take that down. But you go out somewhere knowing how I feel about the situation and still go out and say something crazy, I'm firing you. You can't work for me being stupid. And I don't you don't have to like people, but assassinating and killing the person in the cowardous way is is wrong. Line a person up face to face and get into it with them. Go blow-to blow with a person. I respect that a little more. You coward going from 200 yards shooting a man, you know, cuz you're a coward. You won't face him face to face. Anyway, let's play the clip. >> Talk to me about the environment um in which a shooting like this happens. >> Yeah, and again emphasize what you just emphasized. We don't know any the full details of this that we don't know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration or so. We have no idea about this. But following up what what was just said, he's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that's the environment we're in that that people just you can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that's the unfortunate environment we're in. >> I >> So McDum Dum McDum dum. I guess they apparently fired him for saying that. You know, this is how people like Charlie get in a situation like this where people hate him because of dummies like this. Charlie is only divisive because people don't like to hear the truth. Charlie is not a divisive person. He he's just telling you it's two genders. That's biologically a reality. Then you got people in the trans community that's shooting people. And which I would say is not about being trans, it's about being mentally ill. And those people tend to be trans and non-binary and going off the spectrum and all this other stuff. I don't think it's just because you see a person trans, you're like, "That person's a is a murdering thug." It's like, no, these people are crazy and they tend to do this stuff. They tend to want to be trans. They tend to express themselves in these ways. And that's uniquely to these crazy nut jobs. And so the only reason somebody would think Charlie is divisive because the media says it. Idiots say it. I go to campus all the time and they go, "You work with Charlie? Ain't he a racist? How is he a racist?" They have no answer. I say and and I'll say something on campus and they'll be like, "But your boy Charlie don't believe that." I say, "What you mean? Me and Charlie believe the same thing. You just never listen to what he said. You just listening to these people say he's a fascist." Charlie Kirk ain't never said to hate people. Charlie Kirk has always said we got to love people. But you can call people out on their mess. You can call them out on their mess. you can call them out when they're biologically wrong according to scientific evidence and DNA uh uh research that we've done or or or I I don't know the education that we have around what the DNA says and doesn't say throughout all human history. We haven't had a problem generally speaking figuring out a male versus a female. All of a sudden in the age of technology, all of a sudden with hormones and all this other stuff that we've developed now, now people want to get into it more. And it's all bull crap anyway. And I'm not saying every trans person is is a, you know, I think people people be trans for different reasons. Some people is cuz they cuz they freaky and they want to be feticized. Some people may actually feel like they're in the wrong body, which is gender dysphoria. That doesn't mean you're a me evil person. it just mean you have a disfor you you know you have a a mental illness going on and then there's people who are lunatics that then express themselves by being trans and all this sort of stuff. So you got different classes of people. So when I see a trans person I don't automatically think, oh this person is a serial killer. You know what I mean? I'm thinking like I don't meet the person and get to talk to them and see where they at. To be honest I don't care what they doing. It was a person at my wife's thrift store that she liked. It was clearly a dude dressed like a woman, but he was nice. So, I mean, I didn't I ain't got to be mean. You ain't mean to me. I don't care. I'm just trying to pay for this stuff for my wife. Charlie don't feel no Charlie. His sentiment was no different than mine. He ain't tripping on whether somebody trans or not. There's gay people and and people that work for Turning Point. What? Like, what are you saying? And people criticize him for that cuz he had people that were gay work for Turning Point. You can't do that, man. Look, man. If you can do the job, you can do the job. You know what I'm saying? I I rather I rather for you to do the job and love you to Christ and love you to the truth than to alienate you and isolate you when you trying to do the right thing. Somebody living with a somebody that's living with another man, which I think God doesn't approve of, but you but you conservative, you believe in conservative values, you trying to go to church, that that's the then come on, go to church. Come on, do the right thing. God is the one that's going to change your mind, not me. But at least you acting in good faith and trying to go down the path to do what's right. I can live with that. A trans person that understand they have an identity crisis, but they they they love the Lord and they want to do I I can work with you. I'm not the one that can do the miracle. Okay, I got I got something else to say. It's a it's a comment in the comment section. Let me let me just read this real quick and then and then I would I'm going to try to get a couple of super chats out of respect for people who donate for the comments and then we're going to continue the conversation. This comment said 200 yards is a chip shot with that. It was a three6 which just a rough ballistics with rough ballistic knowledge sighting at 75 yards 150 yards is dang near the same point of impact. Just a small bit of hold over 200 easy. Think about this for a minute. I want people to understand this. I think that people that know guns need to stop talking as if this is normal to know what holdover is. to to know what a holdover is. You have to be experienced shooting a gun to know what holdover is. And you have to be have tried to shoot a gun at a certain range to know how much you have to hold over. I I don't I don't know what we're talking about. Zero and that 75. Shooting at 200, that's a big holdover. When I was when I was shooting at 100 with a with a 5.56, shooting at 100 prone, no no magnification, just regular hosen, not hosen. We used to use uh aim point optic like you got to account, we we zeroed at 50. You got to account for the drop. So you have to hold over I mean I don't know how much it would be. So the dot you just hold over a dot ahead of the dot and that should hang your hold over at from 50 to 100. If you sighting at 75 and you shooting at 200 and you're not shooting center mass, you're trying to shoot a person in the head or the neck, you have to know how much to hold over to hit that exact point. You have to understand how much that bullet is going to drop from here to there. That's not amateur stuff. That's not stuff a person pick up and just go to the range and be like you you got to know how to zero a rifle properly. I don't know. It just this sub this subject kind of bothers me. You you got to know how to zero a rifle. Like when I I was a raw never shot a gun person before I became a cop and I you couldn't tell me trigger pull. I thought you just you just pull the trigger. No, you got to put the trigger on your finger at a certain rate. You got to breathe and you got to have a slow pull to the rear. That takes training and practice for you to be able to pull the trigger and not throw the gun and not anticipate the shot. Like this is why people miss. Why you see gangsters shooting people point blank and they missing. Because if 200 yards with all those variables, if your trigger pull is off or you gripping the trigger too much to the middle of your finger, you're going to pull the gun to the right slightly. And at 200 yards, you're going to miss the person completely. Even if your sight is on it and your trigger pull is wrong, you're missing. If you have not, if you're not used to recoil from rifles or you're not used to having smooth pull to the rear, letting the gun shoot itself, all of those training methods that we learn shooting long guns, you're going to miss your first one. If your breathing is not right, that mean you you got to be at the bottom of your breath. And you have to have practice that a couple times for you to know what the bottom is. Slow pull to the rear and not anticipate the shot or try to shoot the gun 200 yards. One single shot. No. All right, let's move on. Um, I think that's all that we that we want to talk about with that. Was there something else I wanted to cover? Oh, the super chats real quick. >> They also >> Okay, while we while we do the super chats, we'll we'll show the the sniper nest or whatever. The person he had his little area where he went up on the roof and had a little workstation. Even having a workstation is something that or knowing where to now hold Hold on. Where where are we looking at? >> Is this the angle from where he's at to to down in Charlie? >> Yeah, this is where Charlie was. >> And this is where he's at. >> Yeah. Right there. >> Yeah. You had to you had to rehearse this at least once. You had to rehearse this at least once. There's no there's no way that a person raw, never being at the site, showed up, dropped down there, put the bolt and bolt action gun. Some people say it's not 200 yards. This could be 200 yards. It's just the camera angle don't show what it really looked like in person. And you're saying a person and let me tell y'all this. I I don't Let me tell y'all this. This is kind of this may be a conspiracy. I don't know. Looking at the tent, I don't think it looked like it came in from the side. It didn't look like it came from the front to me. It looked like it came in from the side. It looked like it came straight through like this. This side out this side. And you can see the over pressure on the shirt. It didn't look like it came straight down the middle. Am I tripping, bro? I don't know if you saw everything, but I saw the closeup. It seemed like it came direct the left side and you could see the whole start and then >> maybe I'm wrong cuz I didn't watch the close-up one. I just couldn't watch it. >> I saw it, but that's what I saw. >> Yeah, I didn't watch the close-up one, so maybe I'm wrong. But if they got the shell casings and stuff here, then maybe they do have an idea. And I guess this the building that they saw the person running from. But I mean, you can't an amateur doing this for the first time. I I don't The first round, no. You You Your first round could be high. The first round could be off. It's not an amateur. All right, let's get to the I'm Let me control the thing real quick. >> All right, so real quick, I'm going to try to get the super chat stop. Appreciate you guys. Hold on. I like where's the super chats at? Okay, all these are super chats. Okay. All right. Thank you guys. I'm going to go with the I'm I'm obviously have to go with the bigger ones first. >> All right, let's go to >> 12:00. We have 15 minutes. >> We got 15 minutes left. Where's the red ones? Okay, there's red ones that don't show up on here, but let me let me let me just go to them right here. Okay, it says, "My heart goes out and thank you, uh, Lisia. My heart goes out to his family. My deepest condolences. However, it was definitely in my opinion an insight inside professional. It was Oh, she said definitely in my opinion it was supposed to be an inside professional assassination. I must say this is a distraction from what demonic forces are doing in the dark to destroy us. I I I don't know now that I've seen more. I don't think it was a professional one, but I definitely think it wasn't no random amateur that never shot a gun before that just got had a wow hair and decided to do this one day. Um Josh, thanks so much for the super chat. It says, "I'm devastated. People like Charlie and you have been in uh instrumental in my growth in business and in my relationship with the Lord. The last day uh the last days uh talk about what's happening now. what's your suggestion on how to pray and support in times like this? You know, one one thing that I would say about the prayer portion is that we have to think like David and David was a warrior and had a warrior mindset. So, David acknowledged God and prayed that God had mercy on him first, but also prayed that God that God would allow him to overcome his enemies. And the prayers that we make about this Charlie Kirk situation and about everything else moving forward is that we do pray and acknowledge that God forgive us of our trespasses and our sins first. We need to acknowledge that God in your prayer acknowledge that God is sovereign over all things and then also tell God straight out in your prayer that you what you want the end result to be and that is to triumph over the enemy. That is to make your enemy your foottool. that is to that this uh happening this incident against Charlie Kirk will not go in vain that we will be bigger stronger bolder more courageous this will change the world forever that's your prayer your prayer isn't just I'm praying for the family do that I'm praying for people peace do that but at some point you got to posture up in that prayer and say it's on now and now my enemies will not prevail. And now those who try to kill and destroy Charlie Kirk's reputation in life will lose at the end of the day. And we will prevail. There's so many of us who are out here who are willing to speak out. Many more need to step up and we will conquer the enemy. If you believe that, then hit a amen in the comment section. Uh let me get another random uh rabbit hole. It says, "My heart is with you and all Charlie's loved ones. May the Lord guide and hold us through our earthly mourning." I love that. I appreciate you guys with the super chats. This super chat thing, I don't know what's wrong with it. It's not working properly cuz the the the Yeah, I go all the way up. But none of the make it smaller. >> Yeah. None of the red ones were on there. Just got to scroll down. Um, but I I can't read everybody's super chat, so I just want to thank you guys for the super chats. The ones that gave a lot, I have time to read yours because you gave a lot. Um, let's see. Big fan Brandon T. You got to make that a little bigger. Big fan Brandon Tay all the way from South Africa. Charlie Kirk is a legend. He caused uh spade a spade just how it should be. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and all his fans. There is something wrong with this world. A thousand%. I'm still I think I'm still in shock. Bobby, thank you so much for the super chat. Uh thanks so much for two super chats. I think I'm still in shock, y'all. Like I'm in and out of consciousness with this. Like at some points I'm like, "Oh, it's then I'm like dang it's real." Like there's no there's no Charlie Kirk at Afest. There's no Charlie Kirk on campuses anymore. There's no Charlie Kirk at the events that I normally go to. He's going to he's supposed to be at an event with us. We supposed to go to an event next weekend. There's going to be no Charlie Kirk. He's not going to be there. And that that's a reality that's hard to stomach and hard to realize. And these people have no idea how hurtful it is for them to get online and say stupid stuff. Somebody said this was orchestrated by the elite. Hopefully create a civil war. I don't think so. You know, I don't think so. Brandon, pray for the team and family. Super close to Charlie. Yeah, we got to keep praying for the family. Just keep praying though. Don't stop praying for his family. If you don't know what to pray or when you're doing your prayers, just throw Charlie and Charlie's family in in your prayers as well. And his team, man. His team. Andrew, Terrell, all the guys on the video team. I mean, we were like family. Even though I didn't work for Turning Point, you know, like consistently and go to the headquarters when we would go to events and they would do set up for me. Like, we were like family. Like, we all close. And I I pray for them more cuz they were with Charlie every day. Let's see. Let me see if there's any more super chats. Hit this like button for Charlie. Uh he challenged people to research and make their own opinions instead of uh riding on the opinions of others. Amen. Since you know members of the security detail, can you please address the conspiracy theories that they were potentially using hand signals? Do we have that clip with the hand signal thing? >> Let me let me address that real quick because >> I got five minutes and that's probably going to be the last super chat where I'm going address the hand signal thing. Maybe I got one more super chat. Y'all, nobody's doing hand signals, man. When you out there and the sun is beaming on you, I I I don't know people that won't adjust their hat. If you're a person who is an amateur, which they saying, you don't receive hand signals from a person down range. Your focus is on the target. Your focus ain't on the guy next to the target to tell you when to go. Like I I at 200 yards, your optic picture is is tight. You're not You're not looking at a wide pitcher. You're looking at a tight pitcher. And you don't have the ability, not that I've ever heard of for you to be panned over here and then paying over here to do this. Nobody can get into Charlie's tent unless you are on the tactical team. And so the guy in the white that people see, he is on the team. The guy right behind him that was that was adjusting his sleeves, that guy's on the team. And and and these people are willing to die for Charlie. They're willing to die for Charlie. So to to say a man's fixing his sleeves while standing there listening to to the answers, you know, this doesn't show the shooting, right? >> No. Okay, let me just play this real quick. First of all, no one is standing behind Charlie unless they're part of Charlie's team. So, this man in the white is a part of Charlie's team. Now, he may not I don't know if he's a donor or somebody else, but he's a part of the team. He fixes his hat. That's normal. Yeah, that guy just fixes arm sleeves. You sorry son of a guns better stop this. Y'all better stop this conspiracy stuff, man. quit being stupid. The man fixed his sleeves. The other guy is sitting behind him taping him because he's feminine. And that guy cannot get back there unless he a part of Charlie squad. And for you to think that these guys that have been with Charlie since like 2018, I see these guys every event. They love Charlie. They love America. And they're willing to die for him. And you telling me they going to set him up? Shut the shut up. They want to set him up. They let him get shot in the SUV on the way to the event. Ain't nobody setting them up and doing this as a arm gesture. Y'all can't be this stupid, man. If somebody really want to do a signal, they're going to do something that people can't identify as a signal. Ah, anyway, one last super chat. I'mma read it in. I'm going get up out of here. It says Michael the Dad Cosby Crosby. It says someone that hurts more than once. Hold on. Someone that hurts more than one once a year would know all this. I guess he mean hunts. Oh, I can't see. They said hunts. Hunts more than once a year would know all this. Also, the angle might have been the cause of the next shot had the shooter been aiming at the head. Still, one shot. One shot. That's that's that's hard to make. All right. Love you guys. I appreciate you guys watching. Y'all pray for Charlie Kirk's family. Go and support him and whatever else the the the team and the family is putting out there. Make sure y'all go and support Charlie Kirk on all of those things. God bless you. God bless America. I'll see you guys later. Mother great I'm a proud American from my birth to the grave 47 took a bullet for all didn't finish this till we answer the call we [Music] time. [Music] Heat. [Music]
