Brandon Tatum's Raw Livestream Reaction as Charlie Kirk's Death Is Confirmed in Real Time
Brandon Tatum goes live to address the shooting of his close friend Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus, struggling to maintain his composure as he tells viewers he has not watched the footage and has no confirmed updates on Kirk's condition. Tatum shares personal stories about his loyalty to Kirk dating back to the early days of Turning Point USA, credits Kirk with creating the platform that launched his own career and Candace Owens', and leads viewers in two collective prayers for Kirk's recovery as conflicting reports circulate, including a claim relayed from Glenn Beck on Megyn Kelly's show that Kirk was in stable condition. Tatum repeatedly cautions viewers against trusting unconfirmed rumors spreading online, and expresses raw anger at people he says spent the prior day criticizing Kirk on cable news.
Going Live Out of Respect for Charlie
Brandon Tatum opens by explaining he almost did not go live, but felt it was the right thing to do out of respect for Charlie Kirk after learning Kirk had been shot on a Utah college campus. He says he has not watched the footage himself and has no concrete updates on Kirk's condition, asking viewers to pray while he tries to hold his composure.
A Personal History With Charlie Kirk
Tatum recalls his personal loyalty to Kirk, describing how he never once said no when Kirk asked him for help, including covering speaking engagements and donor events on short notice. He credits Kirk with building Turning Point USA from nothing at age 17 into the country's most effective conservative organization, and says neither his own platform nor Candace Owens' would exist without Kirk's early support.
Leading the Audience in Prayer
Tatum leads viewers in a collective prayer asking God to heal Kirk and grant the medical staff treating him the ability to do everything possible, including what he calls supernatural intervention, while also praying for peace for Kirk's wife and children.
Conflicting Reports and Cautioning Against Rumors
As the stream continues, Tatum relays unconfirmed reports, including a claim he attributes to Glenn Beck speaking on Megyn Kelly's show that Kirk had a pulse and was in stable but critical condition. He repeatedly warns viewers not to trust information unless it comes from an official source or someone with direct knowledge, noting that early reports about a suspect in custody later proved to be incorrect.
Anger at Media Coverage
Tatum expresses anger at television networks and commentators he says spent the previous day criticizing Kirk, arguing that nothing Kirk said was factually incorrect even if people disagreed with his opinions. He leads a second prayer thanking God for what he interprets as positive updates and asking for Kirk's continued recovery.
Confirming Charlie Kirk's Death
After stepping away to speak privately with people close to Kirk, Tatum returns and confirms that Charlie Kirk has died at 31 years old. He expresses anger and grief, says he believes Kirk is now in heaven, and states that Kirk's death will not be allowed to be in vain.
A Call to Continue Charlie Kirk's Mission
Tatum closes by vowing that he and others will continue holding events on college campuses, potentially with heightened security, and will not stop advocating for what Kirk believed in. He urges viewers to channel their anger and grief into renewed commitment rather than violence, and to keep Kirk's wife and children in their prayers.
Video Transcript
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Um, I know some of you guys may not may have heard the news um that Charlie was shot on the Utah campus. You know, I I haven't watched the video. People have have said that there are some video angles that doesn't look good. Um, I saw the first video that came out and it and it definitely appeared that he did get shot and it wasn't just a graze wound. It seemed like it was a a pretty significant hit. And it, you know, it's very hard for me to make this live stream right now. and uh and and and the only reason I want to do it is out of respect for Charlie because I don't know what's going to be the result of what happened. I wasn't there. I'm not in the hospital. I haven't gotten any reports um significant reports of anything concrete. All we can do is pray for Charlie. Um, but I I don't even want to be on here. But out of respect for Charlie, I'm going to come on here and I'll try to give you guys updates and talk about it. And if you're just joining, Charlie Kirk was shot earlier um in Utah. And I I I just wanna I'm I'm I'm gonna try to keep my composure while I'm talking to you guys because there's a lot of things that going through my mind right now. And most of them are negative. And when I say negative, most of them are are violent. Um and I and I and I'm not going to go down I'm going to try not to go down that path, but this is such a senseless senseless incident that happened. You the the amount of delusion and brain rot and mind virus that a person would have to have to somehow be so upset with Charlie that they feel like they have to shoot him is is is mind-blowing to me. I I'm telling you guys right now and I don't know out of sheer emotions I'm saying this but things are things are not going to be the same after this and and I and and I don't know if the things are not going to be the same is positive you So, I mean, I'm not going to say what I'm thinking, but we can't allow this to happen in America. We can't allow this to happen to conservatives, to a good man like Charlie. Charlie is literally one of the sole reasons that any of us have a platform probably why the country is conservative. You know, nobody nobody's doing what Charlie is doing. Nobody had put in the effort when they were 17 years old to build Turning Point, biggest organization, conservative organization in the country, the most effective. I started with Charlie. Um Candace started with Charlie. There's nobody that's prominent that didn't start from something Charlie created. So, you know, we just got to keep praying for Charlie. I I don't know, man. I'm not I'm not going to get on here and gaslight y'all. A lot of y'all, you know, people are are texting me and and I haven't heard any good news. And I'm just being upfront. I pray to God that he, you know, protect Charlie and and and save his life. U because he a good man and and it it just don't make sense. you know, over nothing. Over nothing, over going on campus and telling the truth with facts and evidence. Somebody mad over nothing. If you if you have a problem with what the man's saying, debate the man. I'm I'm upset. Y'all, I'm surprised I'm even be able to go live. I sent everybody home except my video guys here and we're going to go home after this cuz I just I just don't know if I can um I need to I need to I need to go relax. And at this point, I don't have any real status updates for Charlie. I just know that the video is going around. I can't watch it. and that all we can do is is pray and collectively have faith that God is going to rescue Charlie from this situation. But I tell you what, man, it's it's I'm so upset that words can't describe how upset I am. It can't describe. It can't describe. And And I'm not going to show the video. I'm not putting the video out there. I'm not putting it out there. I'm not going to I'm not going to show Charlie getting shot on no camera. I'm not doing it. Um, but it is reported that he did get shot. I saw the video, but this is where they run this is where they run into a brick wall. I'm telling you, this is where we've had enough. This is where we had enough. you know, I you know, so I'm just I'm just on here, man, to to give you guys a platform to to comment and and if I get any updates between now and and um if we hear something and I'll let you know. But it's true. There's a video Elon Musk is the party of murder >> senseless. It's it's you know I guess it don't until it happened to somebody close to you the anger don't build up enough. Like I feel like we don't dislike these people enough. Like we don't dislike Antifa and these leftists enough until something happens. But man, Charlie is a good man. He's a good man. He's always had a good heart. One of the smartest people that I that I've ever met. and he is making the biggest impact out of anybody in the conservative movement in my personal opinion. Um, and I don't know the status yet and I don't think any status has been confirmed, but we just have to pray, man, and and just have faith that God is going to rescue him. But the thing is, man, we, you know, in my heart, man, I can't, I can't let this go. You know, whichever way it goes for Charlie today, I can't I can't let it go. I can't let it go. It's it's this is where this is the spark in my personal opinion. I ain't letting it go. So if this the game that they want to play and this is the attitude that they want to have around free speech in America, I'm never going to let it go. Just going on campus, man. Just telling the truth. Not cussing nobody out. Not being violent against nobody. Just telling the truth on campus, having a discussion. People come up, they do their discussion, they walk away. for somebody to get on there and shoot this man like a coward is is is beyond me. and and and I and and I blame these leftist news media outlets conjuring up controversy, Van Jones, all these people who just yesterday brought up Charlie on the on the news saying that he was wrong for for the for saying the the real the truth out loud. and somebody radicalized over nothing but lies. There is nothing that Charlie Kirk has ever said that I know of that was wrong. Two genders, Christian principal. Nothing that he said is wrong. Nothing that he said was was was unjust, mean-spirited. He's just telling the truth cuz people are too stupid to realize what's really going on. But if but if you guys want to play that game, it's enough of the it's enough of the talking. I I'm I'm telling you guys, it's enough. I I'm never I'm never going to let this go. No matter what the outcome is today, I'm never letting it go. There would never be. This is This is This is bad. This is bad. Surprised I I can even sit on this live stream. I'm so upset, y'all. It had I can't even describe how upset I am right now. They go on campus, they do spew stupidity and evilness and we would never, nobody would ever on our side think to shoot somebody because they mad because they mad at things they're saying. They are the party of devils evilness and it's time for us to there's no more talking. There will be no UC Davises anymore. It's not happening anymore. The days of them slapping and spitting on people is no more. I'm I'm telling you. I'm telling you. And I'm going when I get off this thing, I'm going to go pray because I need God to to give me some peace because I'm so upset right now and I want revenge. That's what I want. And I got to pray to God to to to give me some peace cuz you can't just shoot Charlie and get away with it. And going to jail ain't that's not enough. Thoughts and prayers ain't enough. We will we will pray, but that ain't enough. You know, thoughts and prayers without action ain't enough. And there's hell to pay for this. I just want people to understand that. And and I and I'm telling you, I'm not just talking. There's going to be consequences for this. I can't, you know, I I'm upset, man. And I know you guys are too, man. And I'm trying to be a semblance of of peace in a in a storm, but shineful And if somehow I get some updates, I'll let you guys know. But as of right now, I don't have any updates. I just know it's not looking good. Just I was supposed to see him this weekend or next weekend. Gosh. Shame. Comments are moving so fast. I can't read all y'all comments, but I'm trying to look at them. was 200 yard away. >> So Nick Nick told me that the shooter was two from 200 yards away. And you don't get coverage like that when you're not the president. You know, there's no way you can cover that. There's no way you can predict that. He's just a citizen. >> Yeah, we could play it. We'll play some updates from the media. We're not going to show no the video. I'm not showing the video. I I don't never want to see that video again. So, we'll play the news clip so you guys can get some updates on what the news is saying. >> The box want to bring in now u this is actually let's start with this new statement from Utah Valley University. We had a speaker Charlie Kirk invited by a student group turning point USA speaking on campus today at noon at about 1220. Shots were fired from a building about 200 yards from the speaker. Now, this is new. According to the best of our knowledge, the individual was hit and was taken away immediately by his security personnel. That individual, of course, is Charlie Kirk. Campus is closed for the rest of the day. And our campus police have a suspect in custody. So, that is new information. 200 from a building, 200 yards from the shooter is the newest information from the university. And obviously, So, just the information that they got on the news so far. I wish I had the words, y'all. I wish I had the words. I wish I had the antidote. I wish I had a solution. I wish I could ensure that Charlie is going to make it past this situation. But I'm mad, man. I am mad, man. over woke mind virus. The man the man going on campus just telling the truth. I feel bad for his wife, his kids. And this guy that shot him is worth nothing. Is worth nothing. Probably never did anything in his life. Made zero impact in the world. and and and thought he was gonna take a shot at one of the greatest Americans to live. And we and we supposed to just let that be that we supposed to be okay with it. We supposed to let it slide. We supposed to not be this not be the beginning of a revolution. I'm never going to let this go. and and and and and you you you know I don't know they want they want to take it there. They want to take it there. They don't want peace. They don't want conversation. They want to take it there. Somebody said there's an update on Fox News. Is anything coming from Fox News? Sorry guys, y'all super chats. I'm gonna try to go and look at them. >> Somebody said that uh somebody announced that Charlie Kirk's family said he had passed. >> I don't I don't I don't know if that's confirmed. We I'm not accepting this. Nothing to prefer. Keep watching. I don't know his status at this point. I haven't confirmed. I hear people talking. I haven't confirmed. And it's if I get confirmation, I'll let you guys know. >> And y'all got to be careful cuz rumors go out and you got haters that'll be saying stuff about them and they they don't have no firsthand information. Oh my god. Can you mute me, Nick, real quick? Sorry y'all. My mama called me so I had to talk to her real quick. Um, I don't have no updates or anything, but you know, I just I you know, it does it does make me emotional because you know when you know when you when you when you see something like that happen to somebody you love and your friend, man, you you the the warrior police operator in me is like, I gotta I got to go and protect them. I got to go and eliminate the threat. And to not be to to not be able to to do that, to sit and watch something happen outside of my control, it's just it it eats away at me. And I pray to God that Charlie make it through this. Can't believe I can't believe somebody shot him at a campus, over nothing, over a conversation. And Charlie ain't even cussing people out of nothing. >> Another source says he made it to the hospital. I don't know if it's true or not. Yeah, but they don't people people, you have to understand making it to the hospital is, >> you know, that's they don't they they don't make pronouncements before the hospital. >> I wonder if taking this for a confir >> Yeah, we don't know. Oh, I don't know, man. You don't know, you know, cuz the news got to come from the source, right? And the source, the last thing the source is thinking about is trying to let everybody in the world know what's going on instead of focusing on their family. So, but y'all, I think if we put all our energy together and have faith in God, if if there's a chance, then we got a chance. Ultimately, it's God's decision, man. when we we don't always know what God is doing, what he's saying, what he's choosing, and but it's it's it's God's decision to allow things to happen, to prevent things from happening. You know, at the end of the day, it's God's decision. So, we getting so many mixed messages. So, I don't know. I'm not gonna I can't declare any anyone's side until until somebody that I know that know Charlie tell me what's going on. And and you you guys got to be very careful that listening to information and just float out here. I think I'm probably gonna be one of the first people to know what the what what's going on when it when when there's something to be said because people will get online and say whatever just to make y'all feel some type of way. Whether it's happy, whether it's sad, whether it's people get on there and say whatever. The people don't know have no idea what they talking about. These cowards, man. Boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. just And you know, I feel compelled to um have us all just say a quick prayer together. Everybody that's on here with me, um just let's just say a prayer together. It it won't be long. I I I don't need it to be theatrical. I just want us to just say a prayer if you guys, you know, join me. Um because I do believe in God. I believe in miracles and I believe that God can do anything. And the prayers of the righteous availth much. When all of us come together on one accord, I believe miracles can happen. And and and this is a miracle situation. So, if you if you want to join me, I I'm going to say a quick prayer, okay? Uh Lord, we come to you today and praying for our friend, our brother, uh Charlie Kirk, that God, that you will heal him, that you will allow him to recover from such a heinous and evil situation that has transpired. We pray for the peace for his family, his friends, the people who work with him. We pray God that you uh God the medical staff allow them to be on their best game to do whatever they can even if it's supernatural. You help them do whatever it takes to help Charlie get a full recovery. And we pray for all those who are watching because it's like Charlie's like family to all of us. And pray God that you give us peace. You give us clarity. Give us a sound mind. Control um the anger that we feel. God, help us control the anger that we feel. Give us a fresh start. Give us positivity in a good mind and believe in in great things. God, we've seen you do miracles that's far reaching um beyond what we could imagine. And we know, God, that you are the miracle maker. You are the creator of all things. You're sovereign over all things. And there's no task that's too hard for you to do. And we come together as all of us. And I'm sure as many of us that are praying around the nation, God, please hear our prayer that you help Charlie recover 100%. and and and help his wife and his children and his close family, his parents be able to have the faith that he's going to be all right and everything's going to be okay. And God, we as a people, we love you and we know that you are in control and we have to be okay with whatever your decision is. But God, if you could answer this prayer for us, we pray that Charlie gets a full recovery. And we thank you for all the many things that you've done in our lives in Jesus name. Amen. So, I'm hoping, man, we praying for Charlie, man. a good dude, man. He's a good guy and he he deserves to continue the legacy of changing America. I I posted I posted on social the other day and it got a lot of views on X that Charlie is an American hero. There's nobody that have accomplished that. I don't care if you like him or not. I don't care if you agree with him or not. I don't care. I don't care if you like the clothes he wear or swag he got or lack thereof. I don't care what you think about him. At the end of the day, ain't nobody doing what Charlie doing. It's just the It's just the It's just the truth. I wouldn't be where I'm at if it had not been for Charlie Kirk and the people who supported Charlie Kirk at the beginning. Candace Owens wouldn't be where she at if it wasn't for Charlie Kirk. Not not one of us can claim that we would have been where we are today if it had not been for Charlie Kirk and what he has done and what people who have donated to Turning Point have done because it's been a collective effort. But but Charlie Kirk is is is the reason why we are have a voice. Charlie Kirk is the reason why a large part of because it is a lot of other people that support what we do and Charlie Kirk is the reason why I think we have our country the way we are and our young people have turned around from being indoctrinated. Going on campuses isn't a waste of time. It's changing lives. And people ask me the status. We don't have a confirmed status. I haven't heard anything personally from people that I know directly and >> shooter name. >> Yeah, I'm not going to put his name out there. >> He was detained 12 years ago for bomb threats at the Salt Lake City. >> He was detained 12 years ago for bomb threats at the Salt Lake City Marathon. So, he's a nut job that they just let Rome around. I'm telling you, man. it it's it's not a gun issue. It's a it's a mental health issue that people aren't addressing. And you know, I I have no mercy for this guy. I hope he I hope he get what he going to get. Um if I can give it to him, it'll be it'll be it'll be just. But you know, they they letting these people run around, not enforcing the law. You got people with clear signs of mental derangement. They mama know, they friends know, the doctors know, the police officers know, they report it, and they don't do nothing about it. They afraid of stigmatizing mental illness. It's the same thing they have in these trans people. is not the trans part. It's the mental illness part. That mental illness make them believe they trans. These people are crazy and you know we going to just keep hope being hopeful for Charlie. He a good dude. My brother, Marine veteran says, "Say when my brother, I tell you what, bro. You know, I I gotta pray cuz my mind is thinking something very different than what I think the Lord want me to be thinking." Because at the end of the day, you can only do so much before people begin to say enough is enough. You can only shout so much. You can only You can only throw stuff so much. You can only bum rush the tent so much before we have to get on you. But let us keep uh Charlie in our prayers. and his family because even when God recover Charlie from this situation, it's still a traumatic situation and his and his wife and his and his family member members are going to have a a tough road to climb. Even through God delivering on a on a healing, it still may be tough. But you know, I in that prayer, I forgot to pray for myself, too, cuz I I I am angry. I'm angry. I'm angry. I'm angry. I'm angry. I'm angry. But I'mma try to hold it together for Charlie and for us that we don't say nothing and do nothing out of pure anger. But just know we we we we see y'all. You know, the days the days of us being nice is is dwindling. And Charlie is young. He's in shape. He He a fighter. He He knows what's at stake. And I think he have the same grit as as Donald Trump does. And I tell you what, man. Hold your composure because there going to be people out here that say negative things. There's going to be people out here that that are that are happy, celebratory about something like this and it's going to piss you off. I know it. It will cuz just to think about it make me want to get crazy. But just hold your composure. Hold your composure. But I I appreciate you guys coming on and and saying these kind words and prayers. And even if you typing it, your heart feel it when you type it. So, as long as we continue to flood the comment section with positivity, and it's hard not to be negative. You know, I I felt myself get negative for a second, but we going to hold out until God give us an answer. Yeah, y'all. We in this together, man. I know the I know how it feel. >> By who? >> By who? >> Yeah. Don't I don't want to hear nothing unless it's official. Unless it come from Charlie's team. It come from Charlie. It come from, you know, our official channels. It's reported because it's Fox News is reporting it because they obviously may have, you know, some people there. Oh my god, I got thousand ticks. Yeah. So, let's just keep let's keep being positive. I'm just trying to y'all y'all y'all getting a real raw experience for me. I'm trying to stay strong. I'm trying not to get too emotional. I'm trying not to not do my show and everything, but it it's it's just for just for telling the truth. That's crazy. Somebody that mad They want to take your life and they can't name nothing that you say that ain't factual. Nothing that nothing that Charlie has ever said that I know of is factually incorrect. Not one thing. You may disagree, but nothing that he has said is factually incorrect. and somebody want to take your life because they can't debate you in the freest country in in the world. woke mind virus listening to CNN, listening to these new networks every day that their vile rhetoric claiming that conservatives are a problem and that we don't we hate elderly people and we do all this. It's it's wrong and they need to take responsibility for the stupidity. It is a difference from having a difference of opinion versus declaring a person is wrong about something when they're 100% right. That man that stabbed that girl on that on on that transit transportation system, I don't know, was it a train or a bus? >> It was a bus. That that man that stabbed that girl on that bus, it was wrong. He intentionally targeted that girl. Everybody sitting around him was black. He didn't attack nobody but that white girl. And to say that is factual. Oh, you can say it with great confidence. And because a man say that because he got eyes to see. It's what we see. You say what we see and people mad. Van Jones get on TV and talk stupid, but then they turn around if a cop do something, they say it's all about race and it's ab absolutely no contextual reality that it's about race. I said this the other day. I said this the other day when I when I when I was interviewing BB Netanyahu and I got so much backlash and just the vile stuff people were saying. I was like, it's unbelievable how rotted out the brain is of a lot of people. And your comments are moving so fast I can't see them all. But I tell you what, man. And I don't know if it's because we prayed, but I feel much better about Charlie right now. God is the miracle worker. If you I don't know if y'all know God's resume. God done way more miraculous things. And you know, God can turn this into God can turn this into something big. You know, seeing Charlie recover and and be able to come out and and pump his fist in the air like Trump did, that'll just drive a dagger into the enemy. They not going to know what to do. When Charlie come out pumping his fist and giving a thumbs up, but I I appreciate you guys saying kind words about Charlie cuz he is a good man. I don't know nothing. You know, if I ever disagree with Charlie, it was an opinion. It I never disagree on the facts. And Charlie ain't never been nothing but good to me. Kind, nice, supportive. And that's why y'all hear me. I always have I I will always have Charlie Kur back. Always. I'm just that type of guy. When people are loyal and they're a real one, I'll fight for them. Y'all, some of y'all may not know, you know, when I first started and and Charlie would say, "Bren, I need you to do this for me." I I have not one time since I've known Charlie said no to Charlie on anything because he my guy. You know, he he's a good guy, a god-fearing man. And he get a yes from me every time. Brandon, can you cover this? I got to go somewhere. I I can't speak in Florida. I'm in LA. Can you go to tomorrow morning? 6:00 a.m. flight. Done. I remember went to a donor event. Charlie told me, "I ain't never spoke in public before." I say, "Done. I got you. I'm going to go here and do it. I hope I don't fall, but I but I'm but I got you, Charlie. You ain't got to worry about it. Brandon, can you do this? I got you. Deal. You come down here and film this." Deal. I got you. Say when And that's why I appreciate Charlie and I'm and and I'm I'm hopeful that it's going to be all right. And at the end of the day, God is a sovereign God. And we may we may not understand, we may think we understand why God do what he do, but he do he do what he does. and he been doing it from the beginning of time. >> Are we getting anything substantial over there? >> The blaze Glen Beck tell Megan Kelly that he has to pull some stable condition from his source. But >> so I can at least report what somebody else is saying. I can't confirm, but Glenn Beck is saying on Megan Kelly show that that Charlie has a pulse and he's in stable. Is it critical condition, but stable? >> Critical. So, I don't know to be true. So, don't please y'all don't take it for what it is. I just stuff that's coming out. I'm just, you know, giving you guys feedback on it. So, >> hey Nick, can you mute me real quick? Sorry y'all. Sometimes I I mute myself when I'm trying to have a side conversation. Um, so it's not that the audio is down. I mean, if you can look at me, I'm looking over here and talking to somebody. So, but um yeah, I I tell you what, I don't know if it's the prayer or what, but I feel so much better than I was a second ago. And uh we just got to keep keep praying, man. Y'all let's keep let's let's keep the prayers and the and the positive energy in the chat. Telling you what, man. I I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm Maybe I'm just talking.

Let's keep let's keep the positivity going. keep praying. We'll we'll you know we'll jump on another prayer. It ain't ain't no it ain't it a ain't no uh limit to praying. Uh let's you know how whoever on here now let's let's give let's give God one more push, one more prayer. Let him know collectively you know what we feel and that I I feel like we see him moving. So y'all want to you pray with me? Let's let's let's pray. Okay. Uh Lord, thank you um for the the positive news that we've gotten uh thus far. And God, I believe that you're doing a miracle. And I believe that you're answering our prayers. And we want to thank you for that because you're in full control and you can do whatever you want to do. And we thank you for hearing our prayers and and and giving uh Charlie a fighting chance. And God, we pray that you continue to recover Charlie and bring him um back to full health. You know, we don't we don't serve a partial God. We serve a God that can make it all right, that can recover all things. And God, we acknowledge your sovereignty over that. We acknowledge that you are the one in control. And we just continue to push and pray. God, we believe that you can uh recover Charlie, and we want to see that fist in the air, that thumbs up, that he he's making a comeback. And Lord, we can't let the devil win in this situation. And so we asking God that you hear our prayers and that you allow one of our soldiers to continue the good fight and to be able to show the enemy that you are still in control and that you're still sovereign and there's nothing that they can do to stop us from preaching the gospel, from telling the truth, from lifting up your name. and God in unison, everybody on this stream, everybody on every stream that's praying around this country, and we believe not just in word, but indeed that prayer works. And it's not just a a word to make somebody feel good. But God, we know that it works. We've seen it work before, and we thank you for what you've already done, and we praise you in Jesus name. Amen. All right, y'all. Let's just keep let's just keep um keep the energy going. Keep the positive energy going. And I just, you know, if you the first time watching this and you somehow don't know who Charlie Kirk is and you jumped on this live stream, just know Charlie Kirk is a good dude. I wouldn't rock with him if he wasn't a good dude. And it's it's insane that people can't take a conversation. It's not even a this it's not even a fight. It's not like Charlie Kirk out here slapping people, slapping them with facts and these these deranged individuals. Hopefully the country can wake up and realize that we need to do we need to take more action against people who are showing clear signs of derangement and mental illness. We got the money to do it to reinvigorate these mental health facilities where we put people in there and get them help and then we incarcerate the ones who are just flat out evil. I don't care what the incarceration numbers look like. That's the one thing that that just ticks me off. We are over incarcer. I don't care how many people need to go to jail. If you doing crime and you you're not showing that you want to be a part of society, you need to go to jail and you need to stay in there. And if you if you commit a crime and you go to jail and you're mentally ill, you need to stay in there till they get you right. I don't want to hear no excuses. It's it's the excuses happen when you mentally ill by yourself and somebody want to help you from yourself. But when you go out and you commit crimes against other people, your mental health is secondary. The crime that you committed is is primary. But we going to keep it positive. I'm not going I'm not going to be mad. I feel a little better than I was about the scenario, about the situation. You know, don't listen to the people in the chat unless it's confirmed from me because I'm talking to people and we we're looking at certain stuff that people are saying that we know personally. Unless it's confirmed to me, hold off on listening to what people are saying. You got people trolling and they want to get people emotionally riled up. But, you know, I know I know Charlie very well. I know his family or at least his his wife, the people that work for him, they like family. And so when they give me a a a confirmed checkin, I'll present that to you guys. But boy was that boy did that trigger me, man, and make me very upset because you know, just like Trump, man. Just like Trump, man. People out here fighting a good fight. And the devil, the devil, the pure evilness and devil is the is the enemy of the truth. And like I said, y'all keep the face. Keep the faith until we get something concrete. Check the text messages. Authorities are announcing they don't have a suspect and that the person that they arrested is not actually the shooter. >> So, preliminarily, just a quick update because Nick is monitoring it. I should be monitoring it, too. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm trying to keep it together, but that the reports is that they may not have the actual suspect that did it. They may have gotten the person who they thought did it, but not the actual person that did the shooting. I don't know how that's confusing, but I do know how in a in a traumatic situation like this, the disinformation and dissemination of information is very skewed. Um because people are taking people see a person in cuffs and then they report that it's the person in custody when the when the police hadn't reported that. So um just just just for food for thought like I said everything that you hear unless you hear it from a direct source is preliminary information. The police if they ain't said it from a press conference you can't take it at face value. Things change, people say things. Even statuses change. A person can be, you know, not doing so good, they can recover. So just know to to what you hear, keep it keep it uh to store it in the back burner till you get solid concrete information. And don't give up on on what we pray for. Don't get weary. Keep a positive keep some positive energy. All right, y'all. I have I don't have nothing yet. Still waiting on the text. Yeah, there's so many different things um just floating around. We don't know what the truth is. See this Nick? This what Sean sent me. >> I'll take a look. Yeah, but how would how would they know and we >> just the news is >> Yeah, I don't know. How would how would they how would they know and we wouldn't know? How would they know and Fox wouldn't know? Fox is like this. >> Do you think South Park's rhetoric? >> No, I don't I don't know. It was all funny. They talk about everybody. South Park talks about everybody. It was funny. Charlie was laughing. Everybody was laughing about it. It was all in just they talk about every celebrity you know on South Park making fun of I thought it was funny you know I thought it was funny. >> I mean this article does report that but I don't know >> where's their source they're saying where's their source at? >> They said multiple sources confirmed his to say >> can you uh can you uh mute me real quick? My dad's calling me. All right, y'all. Sorry I had to be muted. I just wanted to be able to have a conversation with the team without it being broadcast over the world. So, I s I'm sorry about that if you guys are upset. So, we just kind of looking and trying to talk about or try to see what's true and what's not. We getting reports on both sides and we we don't want to disseminate information unless I know for a fact what I'm telling you. Um, of course you guys, you know, hear stuff and people are posting stuff. So I I I want to if when I say it, that's because I know it. See so many comments I can't even read them all. >> You can slow it down with the school. >> No, it's all fine cuz some most of them are just prayers and stuff. Yeah, people are say Megan Kelly just announced it. Somebody said, um, but but some people saying now he's in stable condition. Yeah. Can we check uh >> I'm going to try to check Twitter? >> Yeah. >> Oh, is that where? >> Yeah, I just get updates. So people just fake it confirmed as if it's confirmed. It's not confirmed. Kebab. I It's all over the internet, man. I'm trying not to even see any videos. >> Yeah, just everywhere. Like it's every other post. >> Thank you. All right, y'all. We still monitoring it, trying to do our best to disseminate information. You know, I just don't understand why people would even report on this without an official statement from the family. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> Like every news outlet need to have the same thing said and everybody need to shut up until they get something something solid. >> America's voice is saying what but they're breaking it from just the news though and that's his own network which is sad. Like why would you not confirm that first? network is report. >> They're reporting >> they pass in uh directly or indirectly. >> I'm going to double check. >> I mean, are they physically saying it or they just uh >> well, you know, we maybe they go on their Twitter. Maybe they have a post on Twitter. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. America's voice is saying Yeah, Megan says Mary Cuddy reported that he passed. Did she report that? >> Jordan said that Gates is saying that he was officially >> forget My >> Same people that talk so much trash about him. Now they want to say something about him. >> Even Nick put out a nice stupid I don't see anything from Megan Kelly. I know she said it. >> You wouldn't see on camera on a show like this or any other because it is disturbing and it is of an innocent woman. >> There's nothing on her Instagram. Maybe her personal one. Nothing on her personal Instagram. Yeah, his network is putting it out there like that. Hold on before you say something. Make sure we Any We need to mute it. >> Yeah. All right, ladies and gentlemen, u I'm back. We we we had some discussions. We talked to people um who have information. And I'm I'm confident at this point that unfortunately um Charlie is no longer with us. 30 31 years old. Um he's doing doing something he loves, something he's good at. I'm very angry because, you know, you don't get your you don't get your lick back. You know, you don't get a chance to to get revenge for him losing his life. And and I just can't believe it, man. Charlie Kirk out of all the people. And um yeah, he's gone. He's gone. And um the only thing positive I can say about this Is it the is that I believe that that Charlie went to I believe Charlie went to heaven cuz he was a good man and he fought a good fight and um I'm I'm I'm never going to let this go. That man just on campus trying to preach the truth and somebody killed him. I'm I'm never going to forget this and I know you guys aren't either. And I'm not trying to suggest that anybody do anything brash. But God, we made the decision to call Charlie home. And that's what he made. That's the decision he made. And we prayed. We had faith in God ultimately was going to make the decision. And uh crazy. It's crazy that in America somebody just preaching the truth can lose his life. And um I'm never going to let it go. And there's going to be consequences. There's consequences for this. And I don't know what that looked like. And um but I I just don't know what to do, man. I I'm upset. And there's things I like to do, but I just need God to guide us in this in this scenario because 31y old man on campus just giving us exercising his right. They tried to kill Trump and you know I don't know and I you know I would like to say I'm sorry for getting emotional but it I can't hold back the emotion that I feel when I think about the fact this boy died. he lost his life. And I think all the hateful stuff people have said and all of these cowards that come out and they want to say uh condolences to him and and they did nothing but talk trash and say some of the stupidest and most evil things I've heard. But as a as a people, and I'm going to finish it with this, is that Charlie Kirk did not live in vain. And he'll never be forgotten. And for the rest of my life, I'm going to do what I can to make sure and whatever I can do to make sure his family good and that we continue his legacy. And that means that we ain't going to stop doing stuff on campus. We may have to heighten the security. We may have to do it indoors because these you can't trust that they can protect you. But I tell you one thing is that we ain't going to give up. And we're not going to stop talking. We're not going to stop preaching the truth. We're not going to stop fighting for what's right. And you know, there's a lot of us out here and somebody may have got to Charlie, but you got a lot more of us to go through before you think you going to get us a stop. And I tell everybody, this should be a wakeup call to a lot of people. Wake up and do something. wake up and be a Charlie Kirk. Meaning that you're willing to fight for something and you don't just let everybody else do the fighting and putting their life on the line. This man lost his life to push conservative values to change this country. 31 years old. I thought Charlie was going to be the president one day and somebody took his life. But I will say this is that I believe he went to heaven and I believe he on with Jesus and and and escaping this place that's full of hatred, evilness and that's going downhill fast. Um, but we got to keep fighting though. We got to keep fighting. We cannot give up. We cannot let them win. And and Charlie would would want us to do nothing less but to continue to push, to fight, to say what's right. And that's what we're going to continue to do. So, I'm going to go and leave this thing and and uh go home to my family and um you know, hopefully we can talk about this tomorrow. I I don't know if I can go on the news. I can for Charlie. I will. But the the anger that I feel is just is very difficult. So, and there's nothing wrong with grieving, man. I know a lot of people sad and we we we we can grieve, but we got to get to work. We got to keep fighting. You know, I'm not going to live my life knowing that Charlie sacrificed his and we don't do nothing about it. So, I love you guys. Um I appreciate you. Continue to pray. continue to pray for his family, for his children. And they they they feel it worse than we do. I guarantee you that. They need the prayers more than we do. And let's keep praying for them and let's keep fighting a good fight. I love you guys. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
