Charlie Kirk's Chilling Warning About Left-Wing Violence Resurfaces After His Assassination At Utah Valley University

[00:00] You guys okay?

[00:05] You just see his neck just like open up

[00:07] and there's just like so much blood that

[00:09] just came out.

[00:13] They'll try to murder me. Those chilling

[00:16] words from Charlie Kirk have resurfaced

[00:18] online just days after his shocking

[00:21] killing on a Utah campus. An undated

[00:24] video now going viral on X and other

[00:27] platforms shows Kirk warning that his

[00:30] political opponents could one day use

[00:32] violence against him. In the clip, Kirk

[00:34] paints what he called a dark picture of

[00:37] the American left, accusing his rivals

[00:40] of harboring violent instincts. At the

[00:42] core of the left, at the core of a

[00:45] liberal, is someone that would use the

[00:47] sword if they had it. They are very

[00:50] violent people at their core. They

[00:52] always have been," Kirk said in the

[00:54] video. Kirk, who was killed on

[00:56] Wednesday, September 10th, while hosting

[01:00] one of his prove me wrong debates at

[01:02] Utah Valley University, warned that

[01:05] liberals would abandon dialogue for

[01:07] destruction. The activists, a close ally

[01:10] of US President Donald Trump, stressed

[01:13] he was fully aware of the danger he

[01:15] faced. No, we're very aware of that. I'm

[01:18] aware of it. We have full-time security.

[01:20] This is not a joke. This is who these

[01:23] people are. Kirk said the video has

[01:26] resurfaced across social media platforms

[01:28] in the hours since his death. Kursk was

[01:31] fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday

[01:33] local time during an event at Utah

[01:36] Valley University in Oram, Utah.

[01:38] Authorities said videos are circulating

[01:41] on social media capturing the moment

[01:43] Kirk was shot at an event he was

[01:46] hosting. Eyewitnesses said moments

[01:48] before his assassination,

[01:50] Kirk, co-founder of the conservative

[01:52] youth organization Turning Point USA,

[01:56] was sparring with a questioner over who

[01:58] commits gun violence. Then the shot rang

[02:00] out.

[02:01] I was 15 feet away and um it was really

[02:05] hard to witness. He he had just finished

[02:07] talking about his his first subject was

[02:10] talking about, you know, the the Mormon

[02:12] faith and somebody had come up that

[02:15] converted from atheism to the Mormon

[02:17] faith. He talked about how much he loves

[02:19] us and, you know, it feels like they

[02:20] just have different opinions and that's

[02:22] okay, but he loves our Mormon faith and

[02:24] he loves everybody. And it was just a

[02:25] lot of love and joy and kindness, you

[02:27] know. And then the next person came up

[02:29] and it almost it almost felt like a cue

[02:31] to me because they talked about

[02:33] transgender gun violence. And then as

[02:35] the guy said shooting or shooters or

[02:38] something like that, you just hear the

[02:40] gunshot and you I'm sorry. You like you

[02:44] just see his neck just like open up and

[02:47] there's just like so much blood that

[02:49] just came out.

[02:51] It was horrible. And all I felt was like

[02:54] everybody bringing me down to the ground

[02:56] and I was sorry.

[03:00] I just all I hear is screaming and I see

[03:02] people running and I'm like it's not

[03:03] safe to run. It's not safe to get up.

[03:05] It's not. And all I'm saying is please

[03:07] God. Please God, please God because I

[03:08] don't want to die. I don't want anybody

[03:09] else to die. And I I think I just saw a

[03:12] guy die, you know. And um we ended up

[03:16] getting up and about 20 30 seconds later

[03:18] and running into the building and they

[03:20] took all the witnesses that were pretty

[03:21] close, me and about 12 other people and

[03:24] we sat there for about an hour and all

[03:25] were all just crying and seeing people

[03:27] posting the videos on social media. It

[03:29] was horrifying. It was horrible. I

[03:31] looked to see if there was a shooter. I

[03:32] didn't see anything. All All I could see

[03:34] was Charlie was taken right away and we

[03:38] were just still on the ground freaking

[03:40] out, not knowing what to do.

[03:42] What was that like?

[03:43] I mean, I don't think Charlie is

[03:45] necessarily contentious. I think he's

[03:46] very good at at saying his points and

[03:49] being very blatant if you're

[03:50] interrupting him. There was only maybe I

[03:52] would say 60 60 people on this balcony

[03:56] that couldn't even see Charlie. They

[03:57] were like on a balcony above like his

[03:59] tent that were all saying, you know,

[04:01] chanting F, Charlie Kirk, things like

[04:03] that, and had signs saying some pretty

[04:05] upsetting things about him. That was it.

[04:07] Everybody else was drowning out the

[04:09] sound and saying how grateful we are

[04:11] that he took the time to see us and talk

[04:13] to us. We had questions. We wanted to

[04:16] talk to him. And

[04:18] yeah,

[04:19] instead, somebody selfish didn't care.

[04:22] Yeah. Yeah. And to be clear,

[04:23] um, if I'm going to be honest, I had

[04:25] friends coming in asking if they needed

[04:27] tickets, and I said they didn't even

[04:29] check for my ticket, which I did get a

[04:31] ticket. They did not pat us down. Um, I

[04:34] feel like I maybe saw three or four

[04:35] police officers in this whole

[04:37] environment of hundreds of people, I

[04:39] would guess. Um, which I thought was a

[04:41] little odd, but at the same time, I

[04:43] thought, well, you know, it's Utah,

[04:44] which is probably an ignorant thought to

[04:46] think, but there was not much security

[04:49] precautions taken. There was none.

[04:52] But did it sound like the shot came from

[04:53] behind?

[04:54] It sound exactly from behind us. And

[04:56] that's why I was so worried and I

[04:58] looked, but I couldn't find anything.

[05:00] But you could also see obviously from

[05:01] the way that the blood just

[05:04] um it it definitely was from behind. So

[05:08] I

[05:09] or in front of him I would say you know

[05:11] but

[05:19] so I was watching the event and um I saw

[05:23] Charlie Curt start talking and stuff and

[05:25] all of a sudden I saw he I all of a

[05:28] sudden in a second layer I heard a

[05:30] gunshot and everybody started like

[05:32] running in like a mob through the doors

[05:34] and like it was scary. Yeah, absolutely.

[05:37] Impossible.

[05:38] I got trampled in the crowd and like

[05:40] just like pushed through the doors just

[05:43] like everyone started running,

[05:45] right?

[05:46] I mean, I just saw everyone sitting

[05:48] there and then some booing of what he

[05:50] was saying and then I saw officers up

[05:53] there just watching from above and like

[05:56] it was just all crazy.

[05:58] I've been in touch with uh with with

[06:00] President Trump, with FBI Director Cash

[06:02] Patel. Um we are completely aligned with

[06:06] our state and federal partners as uh as

[06:09] we work through this case. Now

[06:13] this is a dark day for our state.

[06:17] It's a tragic day for our nation. I want

[06:20] to be very clear that this is a

[06:22] political assassination.

[06:25] We have a person of interest in custody

[06:27] that is being interviewed right now.

[06:29] We do that is not George Zan. it. That

[06:32] is not George Zin. That is correct.

[06:35] Yes, we are actively looking for anyone

[06:37] and everyone who has any any possible

[06:40] information relating to this shooting.

[06:44] Charlie Kirk was first and foremost

[06:48] a husband and a dad to two young

[06:50] children.

[06:57] He was also

[07:00] very much politically involved and

[07:02] that's why he was here on campus.

[07:06] Charlie believed in the power of free

[07:09] speech and debate to shape ideas

[07:13] and to persuade people.

[07:17] Historically,

[07:19] our university campuses in this nation

[07:21] and here in the state of Utah have been

[07:24] the place where truth and ideas are

[07:27] formulated and debated.

[07:29] And that's what he does. He comes on

[07:32] college campuses and he debates.

[07:36] Now, we have a person of interest in

[07:38] custody.

[07:40] The investigation is ongoing,

[07:43] but I want to make it crystal clear

[07:46] right now to whoever did this, we will

[07:50] find you.

[07:52] We will try you

[07:54] and we will hold you accountable to the

[07:57] furthest extent of the law.

[08:00] And I just want to remind people that we

[08:02] still have the death penalty here in the

[08:04] state of Utah. Our nation is broken.

[08:09] We've had

[08:12] political assassinations

[08:14] recently in Minnesota.

[08:17] We had an attempted assassination on the

[08:20] governor of Pennsylvania.

[08:24] And we had an attempted assassination

[08:27] on a presidential candidate and former

[08:29] president of the United States and now

[08:32] current president of the United States.

[08:37] Nothing I say can unite us as a country.

[08:40] Nothing I can say right now can fix what

[08:43] is broken. Nothing I can say can bring

[08:46] back Charlie Kirk.

[08:49] Our hearts are broken. We mourn

[08:53] with his wife, his children, his family,

[08:56] his friends. We mourn as a nation.

[09:00] If anyone in the sound of my voice

[09:04] celebrated even a little bit at the news

[09:07] of this shooting,

[09:10] I would beg you to look in the mirror

[09:15] and to see if you can find a better

[09:17] angel in there somewhere.

[09:20] I don't care what his politics are. I

[09:23] care that he was an American.

[09:26] I pray that those who hated

[09:31] what Charlie Cook stood for

[09:35] will put down their social media and

[09:37] their pens and pray for his family

[09:43] and that all of us all of us will try to

[09:47] find a way to stop hating our fellow

[09:50] Americans.
