SO WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING ALL RIGHT. COMING UP NEXT, OUR SPECIAL EDITION OF NEWS NATION. EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECTED ASSASSIN, INCLUDING THE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT HELPED AUTHORITIES IDENTIFY HIM. >> AND CHARLIE KIRK MADE SUCH A CONNECTION WITH AMERICA'S YOUNG VOTERS. YOU'LL HEAR WHY HEAR FROM HIM HIMSELF. THAT'S COMING UP. AND 33 HOURS DETECTIVES WERE ABLE TO TAKE A CROWD OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND 0 IN ON JUST 1 PERSON TYLER ROBINSON. HE'S IN THE UTAH COUNTY JAIL RIGHT NOW AWAITING A COURT APPEARANCE EARLY NEXT WEEK AND IT TURNS OUT HE WASN'T A STUDENT ON CAMPUS AND COMA DAYS PAST SOCIAL MEDIA. >> AND ALSO HIS MINDSET. WE ARE LEARNING EVEN MORE ABOUT WHO HE IS AND WHY CAME HERE. >> GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM. >> A 33 HOUR MANHUNT LED AUTHORITIES TO THIS MAN, TYLER JAMES ROBINSON. HE'S 22 YEARS OLD. HE WAS NOT A STUDENT AT UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY WHERE THTHE SHOOTING HAPPENED TO HIS ADMITTED TO UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY AT A PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP UNIVERSITY SPOKESPERSON SAYS HE ONLY ATTENDED FOR 1 SEMESTER. HE IS CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT DIXIE TECHNICAL COLLEGE YEARS HOME IN SOUTHERN UTAH AND WAS IN HIS 3RD YEAR. AUTHORITIES SAY DROVE ABOUT 2 150 MILES AND A GRAY DODGE CHALLENGER FROM HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON. UTAH WALKS FROM A PARKING SPOT TO THE NORTH OF THE CAMPUS TO A WOODED AREA AND ONTO THE CAMPUS WHERE CHARLIE KIRK WAS SURROUNDED BY OVER 3,000 PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO WATCH HIM DEBATE. HE'S GONNA CLIMB OFF THE EDGE AND THEN DROP DOWN TO THE GROUND. NEWS NATION LEARNED THAT THE FBI WAS CLOSING IN ON ROBINSON THANKS TO FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. EY WALKED OVER THE AREA GETTING LICENSE PLATES FROM EVERY POSSIBLE PARKING LOT ADJACENT TO THE CAMPUS. THEY ALSO GOT RAIN CAMERA FOOTAGE, BUT IT WAS ROBINSON'S OLD FAMILY WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT TURNED HIM IN. >> A FAMILY MEMBER OF TYLER ROBINSON REACHED OUT TO A FAMILY FRIEND WHO CONTACTED THE WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WITH INFORMATION THAT ROBINSON HAD CONFESSED TO THEM OR IMPLIED THAT HE HAD COMMITTED THE INCIDENT. THE FAMILY MEMBER REFERENCED A RECENT INCIDENT IN WHICH ROBINSON CAME TO DINNER PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 10TH AND IN THE CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER ROBINSON MENTIONED CHARLIE KIRK WAS COMING YOU. THEY TALKED ABOUT WHY THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIM AND A FEW POINTS THAT HE HAD THE FAMILY MEMBER. ALSO STATED KIRK WAS FULL OF HATE AND SPREADING HATE AUTHORITIES BELIEVE ROBINSON ACTED ALONE, BUT SAY WAS COMMUNICATING WITH A ROOMMATE ON THE APP DISCORD. THE CONTENT OF THESE MESSAGES. >> INCLUDED MESSAGES AFFILIATED WITH THE CONTACT TYLER STATING A NEED TO RETRIEVE A RIFLE FROM A DROP POINT LEAVING THE RIFLE IN A BUSH MESSAGES RELATED TO VISUALLY WATCHING THE AREA WHERE A RIFLE WAS LEFT AND A MESSAGE REFERRING TO HAVING LEFT THE RIFLE WRAPPED IN A TOWEL. THE MESSAGES ALSO REFER TO ENGRAVING BULLETS. AND A MENTION OF A SCOPE AND THE RIFLE BEING UNIQUE MESSAGES FROM THE CONTACT TYLER ALSO MENTIONED THAT HE HAD CHANGED OUTFITS. THE GOVERNOR SAYS ROBINSON WAS DEEPLY AND DOCTOR NEEDED WITH LEFTIST IDEOLOGY. THE BIGGEST CLUES RIGHT NOW COULD BE INSCRIPTIONS ON THOSE BULLET CASINGS SAYING, HEY, FASCIST CATCH. >> AND IF YOU READ THIS, YOU ARE TYLER ROBINSON IS REGISTERED AS AN UNAFFILIATED VOTER. ACCORDING TO UTAH STATE RECORDS. HE DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD NEWS NATION SPOKE WITH HIS NEIGHBORS. I WOULD NEVER GUESS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIM 90 BECAUSE THE PICTURES TO SHOW IT. >> HIS PERSONALITY WHEN THE SHOW THAT THAT'S NOT WHO HE WAS RAISED TO BE. I THINK SOCIAL MEDIA ANFRIENDS THAT GOTTEN IT WRONG. JUST DON'T HOUSE. SO THE FAMILY BE NICE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF JUST AS THE KURD FAMILY IS. KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND. >> MENTAL HEALTH, ISRAEL AND WE NEED TO CHECK UP ON IT. >> ALL RIGHT. JOINING ME NOW IS JESSE WEBER, NEWSNATION BELOW CONTRIBUTOR ALSO RETIRED FBI AGENT BODY TO CONAN, FIRST OF ALL, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING WHETHER CHARLIE KIRK WAS WEARING A BULLETPROOF VEST. AND I JUST CONFIRMED FROM THE SHERIFF THAT HE WAS NOT NOT THAT THAT WOULD HAVE REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE. I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU CAN WEIGH IN ON THAT. AND OBVIOUSLY IT APPEARS THAT HE WAS SHOT IN THE NECK. SO THINK THAT WOULD HAVE MATTERED. BUT. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SORT OF WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I JUST GOT CONFIRMED. >> BUT BUT BOBBIE, IT'S IT'S INTERESTING. THE GOVERNOR HERE IN UTAH SAID THIS MORNING THAT THE SUSPECT WAS INDOCTRINATED WITH LEFTIST IDEOLOGY IS THE IS THERE ANYTHING MORE THAT YOU'VE LEARNED ABOUT THAT. BOBBY. >> NO, BUT I CAN SURMISE THAT HE MADE THAT STATEMENT BASED ON THINGS THAT HE'S BEEN TOLD FROM THE FBI IN THEIR EXAMINATION N MS, YOU KNOW, DIGITAL FOOTPRINT, AS WE CALL IT. THE FBI ACTUAL WHAT WE CALL A SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLOITATION TEAM THAT SPECIALIZES IN GOING INTO SOMEONE'S BACKGROUND AND ALL OF THEIR COMMENTS ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS AND FINDING THAT STUFF AND SEEING A PATTERN OF IDEOLOGICAL THOUGHTS AND IDEAS. AND SO I'M ASSUMING SOME ICING THAT HE MADE THOSE STATEMENTS AFTER BEING TOLD WHAT THE INVESTIGATORS FOUND OR HAVE INITIALLY FOUND. I'M SURE THEY CONTINUING THAT DEEP DIVE. BUT HAVE INITIALLY FOUND FROM SOME OF HIS ONLINE ACTIVITY. >> JESSE, OBVIOUSLY THE FEDS ARE THE STATE IS ALSO INVOLVED HERE WHO WILL END UP GETTING JURISDICTION OVER THIS CASE BECAUSE IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MURDER CHARGE RIGHT NOW SO FAR AS THE STATE CHART RIGHT. >> AND I THINK IT MAY STAY STATE CHARGE. WHY I SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A HEINOUS HEINOUS CRIME. THERE MAY NOT BE AN ACTUAL FEDERAL CRIME AT PLAY THAT FITS IN WITH PATTERN OF FACT, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A DOMESTIC TERRORISM CHARGE. >> TO NECESSARILY CHARGED HIM WITH THE ON. WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING SIMILAR IN RECENT HISTORY. THE MAN ANY CASE, THE WAY THAT THEY ULTIMATELY ABLE TO CHARGE AND HIS MURDER THROUGH STALKING. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ACTUALLY APPLIES AS ALSO INTERSTATE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. BUT LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE THE STATE IS GOING TO TAKE CHARGE AND SOMETHING TO NOTE HERE WHILE HE HAS NOT BEEN FORMALLY CHARGED. WE BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON TUESDAY. AGGRAVATED MURDER WAS LISTED IN THE PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT. THE REASON THAT IS SO SIGNIFICANT IS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THEY'RE AMPLIFYING THIS TO THE MOST SERIOUS CRIME IN UTAH. THAT IS HOW WE TRY TO GET THE DEATH PENALTY ON THE BOOKS. THE IDEA HERE IS THAT THIS WAS A KILLING COMMITTED IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT POSED A GRAVE DANGER TO OTHERS THAT HEAT. THIS SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY OPENED FIRE IN AN OPEN PROUD. YES, THE TARGET WAS CHARLIE KIRK BUT OPENING FIRE WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE AROUND. THAT IS THE HOPE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THIS TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL. FELONY IN UTAH. >> JESSE, I'M YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE DEATH PENALTY BY FIRING SQUAD HERE IN UTAH. AND I KNOW DEATH PENALTY CASES CAN BE TRICKY. BUT I WOULD IMAGINE WITH A VIDEO THAT SO MANY OF I'VE SEEN WHICH IS JUST AWFUL. I MEAN, THE WHOLE ASSASSINATIONS CAUGHT ON VIDEO. I WOULD THINK WITH THAT VIDEO >> YOU KNOW, PROSECUTORS WOULD HAVE A STRONG CASE HERE FOR THE DEATH PENALTY. >> YOU WOULD THINK SO. BUT DON'T ALWAYS GUARANTEE IT. MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PARKLAND SCHOOL SHOOTING, WHICH IS 1 OF THE WORST NATIONALS WE ARE SEEING THE JURY CAME BACK AND ULTIMATELY SAID NO LIFE IN PRISON. IT CAN BE VERY COMPLICATED AND LOOK FOR A DEFENSE ATTORNEYS PERSPECTIVE, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO? THEY ARE GOING TO SAY LOOK AT THE CIRCUS THAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. HIS MUG SHOT HAS BEEN PLASTERED EVERYWHERE. YOU HAVE POLITICIANS WHO WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT TYLER ROBINSON AND IT MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A JURY, LET ALONE A JURY THAT WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THE DEATH PENALTY. A DEATH PENALTY. QUALIFIED JURY. IT MAY BE TOO EARLY. THIS IS A HEINOUS CRIME THAT VIDEO IS NOW INGRAINED IN SO MANY PEOPLE'S MINDS AND WE'RE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES. BUT CLEARLY THEY WANT TO GO AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE AGAGAINST THE SUSPECT. >> THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I REPORTED EARLY ON I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW, AND THAT IS THAT BEFORE THE DAD TURNED THE SUSPECT THE SUSPECT TYLER ROBINSON WAS ALREADY ON THE FBI'S RADAR BECAUSE ITS FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. THEY WERE DOWN A GROUP OF SUSPECTS IN WHOLE OPERATION CENTER HERE AT THE COLLEGE BEHIND ME. >> AND HE WAS ON THAT LIST. AND I SPOKE TO THE CEO OF CLEARVIEW AI. AND THAT IS THE COMPANY THAT THE FBI WAS WORKING THERE WAS ACTUALLY THEY WERE USING THEIR FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY TO FIND THIS PERSON. I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID. >> WHEN YOU TAKE AN IMAGE OF AN INDIVIDUAL, LET'S SAY IN THE CASE ON IF THEY HAVE VIDEO OR THEY HAVE AN IMAGE OF SOMEONE. THEY CAN RUN IT THROUGH THE SOWARE AND WITHIN SECONDS, IT RETRIEVES ANY IMAGES THAT MATCH THE IMAGES IN THE THAT THEY'RE BEING LOOKED AT. SO IT'S IT'S AMAZING. SOFTWARE. AMAZING TOOL YOU KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, FORTUNATE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, I I WANTED TO EXPRESS, YOU KNOW, I'VE I'VE BEEN VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. THIS WHOLE THING AS MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE. I'VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH CHARLIE KIRK SINCE 2015 WHEN I FIRST MET HIM. HE'S AMAZING IT WAS 21 YEARS OLD. I THOUG >> WHEN PEOPLE STOP TALKING REALLY BATCH OF SHOTS WHEN MARY STOP POPPING DIVORCE HAPPENS IT WAS A SHUNT STOP TALKING WARREN WHEN YOU STOP HAVING A HUMAN CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE WHO DISAGREE WITH BECOMES A LOT EASIER WANT TO COMMIT VIOLENCE AGAINST THAT GROUP. >> YOU HEARD IT THERE. CHARLIE KIRK REALLY HAD A GIFT CONNECTING WITH YOUNG AMERICANS TO HIS PODCAST PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND HIS SIGNATURE PROVE ME WRONG. DEBATES ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. >> IN THE AGE WHERE LIKE THERE IS SUCH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OR RATION OF AND WE'VE SEEN THAT LIKE EXTREMELY POLARIZING, DIFFERENT LIGHT, BUT PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR NEWS FROM WILDLY DIFFERENT SOURCES JUST DON'T INTERACT WITH THE OTHER SIDE AT ALL. DO YOU THINK THAT BEING AN AUTODIDACT IN ANY SENSE OF THE TERM IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A THOROUGH AND RIGOROUS EDUCATION. IF YOU ARE LIKE SO LIKELY TO END UP SUCKED INTO THESE HOLES WHERE YOU'RE NEVER INTERACT. MY ONLY LEARNING. I THINK A LOT OF COOL PEOPLE I LEARN FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OTHERS. I MEAN, I'M LISTENING WHEN YOU'RE TALKING, IT'S NOT JUST THE STACK WANT ME OVER IN ANY OF THAT. BUT YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO. >> I'M GLAD YOU'RE TEMPTED TO YEAH. I MEAN, YOU LEARN IN OTHER WAYS OTHER THAN JUST SITTING IN A CLASSROOM LISTENING TO APROFESSOR DRONE ON FOR 90 MINUTES AND PRETEND TO READ HIS BOOK AND PAYING 20,000 A SEMESTER TO CHEAT ON THAT EXAM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER, ACCORDING TO CURRENT PROJECTIONS, ONE-THIRD OF TODAY'S YOUNG AMERICANS WILL NEVER GET MARRIED. >> THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS HAVING FEWER CHILDREN THAN EVER. BEFORE. IT'S BECAUSE FIRST FAR TOO MANY. THEY SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THE BASIC THINGS ARE PARENTS. ENJOY ARE INCREASINGLY OUT OF REACH FOR GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS. YOU SEE THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS BECOME A LUXURY ITEM FOR THE WEALTHY ELITES. HAPPY COUNTRIES HAVE CHILDREN. BROKEN. COUNTRIES HAVE ADDICTION, DEPRESSION AND SUFFERING. CHRISTIANITY IS THE GREATEST. I THINK THAT HUMANITY HAS EVER HAD TO LIVE UNDER. >> HISTORY. THE HOTTEST STARS CHRISTIANITY AS WE KNOW IT IS THE GREATEST MORAL ETHIC. AND THESE ARE THINGS YOU AGREE WITH, YOU KNOW, LOVE THE STRANGER YOU KNOW, HELP HAVE JUSTICE LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. YOU LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF LIKE LEVITICUS, 19, RIGHT. THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL TEACHINGS. IN FACT, THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU THINK THAT THEIR COMMON WHEN EVERY ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE THEM EVEN FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND NATURAL RIGHTS AND CHARITY THE LESSER OF THESE ARE ALL CHRISTIAN VALUES. SO I'M GETTING AT THOUGH, IS IF WE REMOVE CHRISTIAN VALUES, WHICH YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE SUGGESTING WHAT DO WE REPLACE THAT WENT. WE SHOULD TELL OUR YOUNG LADIES. THAT IF YOU WANT TO GO BE THE CEO OF A SHOE COMPANY. THAT'S FINE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING TO MATTER. 30 YEARS FROM NOW, WHAT'S GOING TO MATTER IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE TO LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU'VE DECIDED TO RAISE CHILDREN, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TRIPS TO THAILAND. YOU MAKE THIS MATTER HOW MANY NIGHTS OUT AT THE CLUB. WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT LASTS AND WHAT MATTERS IS THGS THAT ARE HARD KEEP IT SHORT AND I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOUR STANCE ON COLLEGE SCAM BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE ACCORDING TO THE HAMILTON INSTITUTE, PEOPLE WHO GET BACHELOR DEGREES OVER A TOTAL LIFETIME EARNINGS WILL EARN OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN THOSE WHO DON'T. >> ALSO I FEEL LIKE COLLEGE IS AN IMPORTANT PLACE. PEOPLE LIKE GO LEARN VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS. AND ALSO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE BALANCE SOCIETY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET ARTISTS. YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO GET ARCHITECTURES. YOU CAN GET ENGINEERS ARE GOING TO ALL SORTS PEOPLE THAT WE NEED IN SOCIETY BECAUSE LIKE WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING. IF YOU DON'T HAVE WRITERS OR ARTISTS, YOU KNOW. SO I JUST WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON. QUESTION IS DO THE BEST WRITERS LEARN TO WRITE IN COLLEGE. PROBABLY NOT KNOW THE BEST WRITERS ARE GIFTED RIDING AND THEY LEARN TO WRITE BY WRITING AND I WOULD JUST ARGUE THAT THIS KIND OF HOLISTIC VIEW YOU GET FOR EXAMPLE, STUDY CAN I CAN ASK ECONOMICS OK, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK MUSCLE. I ACTUALLY LIKE IN MY BUDDIES BUT BASIC ECONOMICS ONE OF THE FIRST ECONOMISTS. DO THEY TEACH HERE? NOT YET, BUT ALSO GETTING EVERY MY POINT. IF YOU'RE STUDYING ECONOMICS AND ARE NOT TEACHING. THOMAS. YOU'RE NOT GETTING AN EDUCATION GETTING A DOCTOR WHEN YOU'RE BEING SCAMMED AGAIN. FREE MONDAY. TEACHING ON FREEMAN HERE KNOW THAT AWARE OKAY. LOOTED ISIS. I'M A WEAPON, BUT BART, HOLD ON. KNOW THEY KNOW FREDERICK DUSTY. KNOW YOU'RE NOT GETTING ECONOMICS, EDUCATION. YOU'RE GETTING AN INDOCTRINATION. YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT BUT THAT WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR GOING INTO DEBT FOR IS NOT A REAL ECONOMIC EDUCATION. THOSE THE PEOPLE THAT THEORIZED ABOUT FREE MARKETS AND THAT WHICH IS A LEGITIMATE SCHOOL OF THINKING MONITOR IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND THE FACT THAT YOU NOT TO COME, NOT CRITICIZING HUGE. I MEAN, CRITICIZING INSTITUTION THAT'S FAILING THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE PEOPLE BELIEVE. YOU'RE NOT BEING TAUGHT THAT RIGOROUSLY PROVES MY POINT THAT COLLEGE IS A NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD TOWARDS RIGHT. JUST AND >> WITH UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. >> ALSO A FRIEND CHARLIE'S. YOU CAN HE THE HOCKING BEHIND BUT THIS IS ALL SUPPORT FOR CHARLIE. I MEAN, THE CROWD OUT IS INSANE. BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU KNOW WHAT DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE LAST NIGHT ON CHARLIE'S YOU TO WATCHING A LOT OF THESE DEBATES ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND SOMEBODY THE VIRAL ONES THAT YOU SEE OVER THE YEARS WHERE WE'RE SORT OF SPICY, BUT MOST OF THEM WERE REALLY CONVERSATIONAL AND RESPECTFUL. >> THEY WORRY. I MEAN. >> IT'S HARD FOR ME TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE AND TALK ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK CONSIDERING THAT EVERYTHING I HEAR FROM PEOPLE PROVES TO ME THAT THEY NEVER ACTUALLY WATCHED. AND IF HIS SPEECHES OR ANY OF THOSE DEBATES THE FACT MOST OF WHAT HE DID END UP BEING RESPECTFUL. AND WHAT I HAD WITH THIS WAS PEOPLE WALKING AWAY NOT ONLY WITH A NEW RESPECT CHARLIE. BUT WITH A NEW RESPECT FOR THE IDEA OF DEBATING WITH OR EVEN JUST SPEAKING TO THOSE THAT HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS FROM THEIR OWN. SO THE SAD THING IS T THAT PEOPLE ARE MISSING ACTUALLY. I THINK THE MAIN POINT OF WHAT CHARLIE WAS TRYING TO DO. I MEAN, THEY HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT HIS OWN OPINIONS. AND THAT'S GREAT. BUT THEY'RE MISSING THE FACT THAT HE ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT THEIR OPINIONS AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM. HE WANTED TO DEBATE PEOPLE. HE WANTED TO BRING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS HE COULD TO THE TABLE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH HE RESPECTED OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR VIEWPOINTS AND. I DON'T WANT, YOU KNOW, TO CONTINUE CRYING ON TV. BUT THE FACT IS I DON'T THINK WE COULD POSSIBLY FIND A WORSE SITUATION FOR AMERICA THAN SOMEONE WHO SO PROUDLY WANTED TO GO OUT THERE AND DEBATE EVERYONE FROM EVERY VIEWPOINT OF BRIGHTEST AND THE RIGHT OF THE ON THE LEFT AND ENDED UP GETTING KILLED FOR. >> YEAH. IT'S TERRIBLE. IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE. THE CROWD BEHIND ME. SO MANY OF THEM NOW HAVE I AM CHARLIE KIRK T-SHIRTS. I AM CHARLIE KIRK. SIGNS. IT'S IT'S QUICKLY BECOME LIKE A SLOGAN AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS MOVEMENT MAY ACTUALLY BECOME STRONGER THAN EVER. >> I HAVE. OBVIOUSLY I HEARD THAT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE. I'M I'M HOPEFUL, OF COURSE I DO. EVEN KNOW WHAT THE MOVEMENT IS WORTH WITHOUT THE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE LEADERS THAT WE HAD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH THE LOSS OF SUCH YOU KNOW WHAT, GREAT SOUL AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE THIS. BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LEFT TO DO. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT'S WHAT CHARLIE WOOD HAVE WANTED. UNFORTUNATELY. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOME OF THE WORST SITUATIONS POSSIBLE TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO FINALLY GO OUT THERE AND SPEAK UP AND THE FACT IS AGAIN, I HOPE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT, PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH CHARLIE REALIZE WE ARE ALL CHARLIE KIRK. WE'RE JUST AMERICANS WITH OPINIONS AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH THOSE OPINIONS BUT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. AS LONG AS YOU LOVE YOUR FELLOW AMERICAN AND YOU'RE READY TO DISCUSS THOSE OPINIONS THAT YOU ARE ALSO CHARLIE KIRK. >> YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THE REPORTS, ELIZABETH ON PEOPLE AND SOME HIGH POSITIONS FOR COMPANIES AND DIFFERENT JOB TO HAVE NO SAID AWFUL THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SOME PEOPLE HE EVEN CELEBRATED THE ASSASSINATION. SOME COMPANIES HAVE AS FAR FIRE PEOPLE MEAN, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL OF THAT. >> I AM DISTRAUGHT. HONESTLY, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW NAIVE I WAS TRULY TO BE STILL SURPRISED BY THE REACTION. BUT I AM EVERY MOMENT. I FIND MYSELF ON THE INTERNET SEEING A NEW RESPONSE FROM DESPICABLE TRULY RESPONSE FROM SOMEONE AND I AM BAFFLED THAT THIS KIND OF HATRED EXISTS. I ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, I'M SCARED BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK AND ARE CELEBRATING HIS DEATH AND THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THEY WOULD WANT THE SAME THING FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS IN THE MOVEMENT OR MY OWN FAMILY PROBABLY. AND I'M SCARED FOR WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE IS SO MUCH HATE IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS AND POLITICS HAS DIVIDEDED US AT LEVEL THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFETIME AND I WAS SCARED TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE EXISTING ARE AT THEIR EXISTING IN OUR HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS. THEY'RE TEACHING CHILDREN, THEIR COLLEGE PROFESSORS AND AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE LEAVING THESE PEOPLE'S ROOMS, YOU ARE LEARNING FROM THEM AND YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT LEARNING POLICY. JEAN ALERTING HISTORY. YOU'RE NOT GETTING, YOU KNOW, PROPER HEALTH CARE. YOU'RE GETTING INDOCTRINATED AND YOU'RE TTING. FILLED WITH HATRED. . AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MISSED THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THESE INSTITUTIONS FOR THIS LONG. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TOOK SUCH A GRUESOME HORRIBLE DESPICABLE EVENT. >> FOR US TO FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH HATE OUR INCREDIBLE AMERICAN SOCIETY IS CURRENTLY FILLED WITH YOU. >> WELL, I THINK HOPEFULLY THE LOVE OVERSHADOWED TODAY IT SHE COMING ELIZABETHTON. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. I'M SORRY ABOUT THE LOSS OF YOUR FRIEND. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> OKAY. MILLIONS OUTSIDE ON THE INTERNET.
