Charlie Kirk's Security Team CAUGHT In Major Lies

[00:00] To call what happened to Charlie Kirk on

[00:01] September 10th a security failure would

[00:04] be the understatement of the century.

[00:06] Everyone who has been following the

[00:07] story has scrutinized what happened that

[00:09] day and one of the most obvious

[00:11] questions is why was the campus not

[00:13] properly secured and was Charlie

[00:16] betrayed by the people around him whom

[00:18] he trusted. Brian Harpool, the head of

[00:19] the security company that was

[00:21] responsible for Charlie Kirk's safety

[00:22] that day, is not oblivious to the cloud

[00:24] of suspicion that has fallen upon him.

[00:27] And so he did an almost 3-hour interview

[00:29] to give his side of the story. And I

[00:32] watched this interview in its entirety

[00:34] and I spotted some lies.

[00:37] Hello everyone. If you're a new viewer,

[00:39] welcome. If you are a returning viewer,

[00:40] welcome back. If this is your second,

[00:50] Today's video is sponsored by me. I'm

[00:52] wearing one of the shirts from my merch

[00:53] line, the pardon my skepticism shirt.

[00:55] I'm wearing a size small. All of my

[00:57] shirts come in both men's and women's

[00:59] sizes. And I have other designs like

[01:01] this blessed sweater, this Bregette

[01:03] Macron t-shirt, as well as this retro

[01:05] revival shirt, which is very popular. I

[01:07] have stickers, bags, phone cases, and

[01:09] more. So, be sure to check out my merch.

[01:11] The link for my merch will be in the

[01:14] the ways that you can support my

[01:16] channel, and another way that you can

[01:17] support my channel is by liking this

[01:19] video so that the algorithm knows that

[01:21] people are enjoying it. Speaking of

[01:23] which, let's get into today's video. I

[01:25] watched this interview and Brian

[01:27] Harpool, in my opinion, is very

[01:29] unlikable. The entire interview was not

[01:31] to put the truth out there for the

[01:33] public. It was self-preservation

[01:35] and it was to

[01:36] >> to save our asses.

[01:37] >> Do you guys remember a show from the

[01:39] '90s called Daria? In the opening

[01:41] credits, Daria is playing volleyball and

[01:43] the ball goes right past her and after

[01:45] the ball passes her, she then puts her

[01:47] hand up to make it seem like she was

[01:49] actually trying. That is the best

[01:51] analogy that I can give for this

[01:53] interview. What else am I to do?

[01:56] >> This guy is a former police officer and

[01:58] is the biggest coward that has ever sat

[02:01] across from Shawn Ryan. Not one time did

[02:04] he take any accountability for the

[02:06] failures of his security detail. But not

[02:09] only that, this interview is full of

[02:12] inconsistencies,

[02:13] discrepancies,

[02:15] lies,

[02:16] >> a A

[02:18] >> and that I think I noticed like six

[02:20] things that he said in this video that

[02:22] weren't true. And there probably was

[02:23] more things he said that weren't true

[02:25] and I'm sure you guys can let me know

[02:26] about that in the comment section down

[02:28] below. So, let's begin with number one.

[02:30] Now, number one is a huge discrepancy

[02:32] that I noticed in the narrative that he

[02:35] was trying to paint with Shawn Ryan.

[02:37] Brian Harpool said that on August 24th,

[02:41] they began preparing their security

[02:43] plan.

[02:43] >> How many days prior were you guys there?

[02:45] >> Um, the 24th of the month prior. And so

[02:49] um and that was with the the hard

[02:51] conversations meetings.

[02:53] >> You started that on the 24th.

[02:55] >> Mhm.

[02:56] >> Right. It it and we do

[02:58] >> two weeks at least. No. Well, it it

[03:01] started before that with the the

[03:03] intelligence gathering and and all that,

[03:05] but

[03:06] >> the hard conversations, the sharing of

[03:09] information, the conference calls, uh

[03:12] the the data sheets. Um, and and we put

[03:15] that in a timeline uh on on a on a on on

[03:18] an app so that this all goes up and

[03:21] every guy that's on that job uh can see

[03:24] all the intel that comes in. It's a

[03:26] decentralized command model for the

[03:28] company. And so anybody can make command

[03:31] decisions for the betterment of the

[03:33] client or the team. And so everything

[03:35] goes on that app. Um we're walking

[03:37] through, you know, everything that you

[03:40] need for a detail. um the site plan, uh

[03:44] point of contacts, uh emergency, uh uh

[03:48] fallback locations, hard rooms, uh

[03:51] arrival points, hospital, you name it.

[03:54] >> So, the security plan was first laid

[03:57] out, according to Brian, 2 weeks before

[04:00] the event. And coincidentally, a student

[04:02] told the FBI that two weeks before the

[04:04] TPUSA event, he and a professor saw a

[04:07] man with a backpack on the roof of the

[04:08] Losi Center building where the would

[04:10] then go on to take their shot 2 weeks

[04:12] later. But that's just a side note.

[04:13] Based on Brian's statement, you would

[04:16] think that this was a wellorganized

[04:18] security company that crossed all their

[04:20] tees, dotted all their eyes, and they

[04:22] did everything that they could to ensure

[04:24] Charlie Kirk security at that event.

[04:27] Well, later in the interview, he shows

[04:30] this text exchange between his company

[04:32] and Jeff Long. Now, for context, the

[04:35] University of Utah has their own campus

[04:37] police and Jeff Long is the head of the

[04:40] campus police department. So, Brian

[04:42] Harpool's company was texting with Jeff

[04:44] Long, the head of the campus police, and

[04:47] they were discussing the rooftops. And

[04:50] this text exchange that he presented in

[04:52] the interview didn't happen until less

[04:56] than 48 hours before Charlie Kirk's

[04:58] event. If you started planning this

[05:00] event 2 weeks in advance, why are the

[05:03] rooftops being discussed under such

[05:05] short notice? And quite honestly, these

[05:08] text messages seem just as contrived as

[05:10] the ones that Tyler Robinson sent Lance

[05:13] Twigs. Remember the texts where he's

[05:15] telling Lance, "I planned to take this

[05:17] to my grave. I was never going to tell

[05:19] you. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever. I

[05:22] was going to die with the secret. But

[05:25] also, I wrote a letter confessing to it

[05:28] and it's underneath the keyboard. So, if

[05:29] you don't mind, will you just go check

[05:31] it out? I was never going to tell you,

[05:33] but I had pre-written a letter and I put

[05:35] it under the keyboard for you to read.

[05:37] >> It just makes noing sense. I mean, it's

[05:39] just

[05:40] >> No one's buying that text exchange. That

[05:42] text exchange was a

[05:44] >> save our asses

[05:45] >> type of text exchange. And so is this

[05:47] one between Brian Harple's company and

[05:49] Jeff Long. Let's dissect this text

[05:52] exchange together, shall we? Hello,

[05:55] Chief Long. We received this message

[05:56] today from the student group FYSA. There

[05:59] is student roof access pretty close to

[06:01] where CK will be set up at Utah Valley.

[06:04] The Sorenson Student Center has a couple

[06:06] staircases that go up to the walkways on

[06:08] the roof. That was my Brian Harpool

[06:10] impression in case you couldn't tell.

[06:12] But do you guys see the problem with

[06:14] that text? It is a communication with no

[06:18] actionable details. It doesn't say, "We

[06:20] were made aware of the roof and we

[06:22] needed to be blocked off. We were made

[06:23] aware of their roof and we needed to be

[06:25] secured." It just says, "Someone told us

[06:27] about the roof." So Jeff Long responds,

[06:30] "You want access to the roof?" Then

[06:31] Brian Harpool responds, "I was told

[06:34] students have access above us." If this

[06:36] is true, it would be nice to either have

[06:39] it controlled access or allow one of my

[06:42] guys to be there as well if possible. It

[06:44] would be nice if possible. You sound

[06:47] like a little girl asking for ice cream.

[06:50] Imagine spending hundreds of thousands

[06:52] of dollars on security and that's the

[06:55] amount of effort they put into

[06:57] protecting you. So Jeff Long responds by

[06:59] saying, "I got you covered." And Brian

[07:01] Harpool's side responds by saying,

[07:03] "Thank you, sir." So there's no

[07:06] followup, no further questions about the

[07:08] roof or the security plan. How many

[07:10] people are you going to put up there?

[07:12] Are you going to use a drone? Are you

[07:13] going to tape it off? coffee and it

[07:14] closed. No further follow-up questions.

[07:18] This text exchange took place over the

[07:20] course of 4 hours. And in my opinion,

[07:24] this looks like someone who's trying to

[07:26] create an alibi to say, "Well, look, I

[07:28] addressed the roof issue with UVU, so

[07:31] anything else that happens falls on

[07:33] their shoulders. Let me just push the

[07:35] buck on to you, so if something happens,

[07:37] I can blame you for it." It's

[07:39] suspicious. Another lie that Brian told

[07:41] during the interview also has to do with

[07:43] the rooftops. Repeatedly in the

[07:45] interview, he keeps stressing to Shawn

[07:47] Ryan that the rooftops were the

[07:50] responsibility of UVU. And had they done

[07:52] their job, this wouldn't have happened.

[07:54] And Brian uses this text exchange to

[07:56] show proof that the roofs were the

[07:58] responsibility of UVU.

[08:00] >> And his last correspondence was, "I got

[08:03] you covered.

[08:10] What else am I to do

[08:12] when a command level

[08:15] uh person from an accredited police

[08:18] department says, "I've got this area."

[08:20] >> And the rooftops were supposed to be

[08:21] covered from the police drones.

[08:23] >> PD said, "I got you covered.

[08:25] >> I've got you covered."

[08:26] >> Mhm.

[08:28] >> And so that zone was dropped.

[08:30] >> Yes.

[08:32] >> That's not true.

[08:33] >> If you look at the footage from that

[08:35] day, the roof behind Charlie was

[08:38] secured. There was caution tape and

[08:40] there was an officer up there, but only

[08:43] one roof was discussed in this text

[08:45] exchange and it was the one that was

[08:47] closest to Charlie. Jeff Long said in

[08:49] the text exchange, "I got you covered."

[08:51] And that's exactly what he did. The

[08:53] problem isn't that Jeff Long didn't keep

[08:55] his word. The problem is that Brian

[08:57] Harpool was not thorough in his

[09:00] so-called security plan. Another, let's

[09:02] call it, inconsistency that was said

[09:04] during this interview has to do with the

[09:07] use of drones.

[09:08] >> I spent thousands of dollars on drones

[09:10] last year and 10 and got the guy's

[09:13] license. But if the area lies in the

[09:16] Provo, Utah airspace,

[09:19] I can't fly it. That's a 107B, the guy,

[09:23] we can't break the rules, right? And

[09:25] then you had secondary restrictions

[09:27] probably due to heavy foot traffic for

[09:28] the school. But I I can't go in and

[09:30] break the rules. There's laws for a

[09:33] reason.

[09:33] >> Brian said he didn't deploy drones

[09:35] because he was not allowed to do so on

[09:39] the UVU campus.

[09:41] >> That's not true.

[09:42] >> On the UVU website, the policies and

[09:44] procedures manual lays out the rules and

[09:47] it says that if someone wants to use a

[09:49] drone on campus, they can submit a

[09:51] request to get authorization. So, they

[09:53] absolutely were allowed to use drones

[09:55] and since they had started their

[09:57] security plan 2 weeks in advance, why

[09:59] the didn't they submit a request? In the

[10:01] interview, he repeatedly says that they

[10:03] were forbidden from flying a drone. He

[10:06] says the campus police should have had

[10:08] one. And if only he had had one,

[10:11] >> I'd have flown that drone up his ass if

[10:12] we could have had one.

[10:13] >> Just so you know, I mentioned this in a

[10:15] previous video, but I'm going to mention

[10:16] it again here. Frank Turk, the pastor

[10:19] and friend to Charlie Kirk who was there

[10:21] that day, has said more than once that

[10:23] they did have a drone that day and they

[10:25] flew it.

[10:26] >> And as we were driving in, Charlie got

[10:28] some video footage from drones above.

[10:31] This is an hour before it was supposed

[10:32] to start and there were thousands of

[10:34] people there.

[10:35] >> So later on in the interview, Brian

[10:37] Harpool then goes on to say that the

[10:39] campus allows mini drones. It's not

[10:42] uncommon for the a video team to throw a

[10:46] drone up and then take a quick shot and

[10:49] we've had that before. Now, their drones

[10:51] are different because they use those

[10:53] little bitty ones and so they're not

[10:55] covered under the requirements.

[10:57] >> Okay, so if the campus allowed mini

[10:59] drones, why didn't you just use mini

[11:01] drones? Another inconsistency told by

[11:04] Brian Harpool was this. If if you're

[11:07] somewhere and you're covered from an

[11:08] elevated position from 180 degrees, it's

[11:12] horrible.

[11:13] >> And and that's where we were. But that's

[11:16] come out. Why Why would they have it

[11:18] there? This is ignorance. You know, it's

[11:19] a security fail. And I'm like, well,

[11:21] one, that's where they told us we had to

[11:23] have it.

[11:25] We We weren't optioned out anywhere

[11:27] else. There's a permit you have to get.

[11:29] And the school says, "Nope, this is

[11:30] where you have to have it."

[11:32] >> We don't get to argue with them, you

[11:34] know. We don't get to say no, but that's

[11:37] it. This is where you put.

[11:39] >> So Brian Harpool sits there and looks

[11:42] Shawn Ryan in the eyes and lies to his

[11:44] face. He says that UVU told them that

[11:47] they had to host the event outside.

[11:49] Well, that's not what UVU said. The day

[11:51] after Charlie's passing, the Salt Lake

[11:54] Tribune published this article which

[11:56] states, quote, UVU spokesperson Ellen

[11:58] Tror had relayed that Kirk wanted to be

[12:01] in an outdoor central location on

[12:04] campus. so he could engage with students

[12:06] walking by, including those on their way

[12:08] to class or the food court. They put the

[12:11] request in for that specific area. They

[12:14] really wanted it to be in the open

[12:16] courtyard. And this matches what a

[12:18] source told Candace Owens in early

[12:20] August. Within two weeks, they had boots

[12:22] on the ground and they were scouting for

[12:24] a location. And it gets worse. Okay. I

[12:27] learned that after UVU showed them

[12:32] multiple options inside and outside, UVU

[12:37] recommended to Turning Point that they

[12:40] not hold the event in the amphitheater

[12:43] because of safety re reasons. Not a good

[12:45] idea because we can't shut this area

[12:48] down. It's not a good idea because

[12:50] there's no control here. we cannot

[12:53] control the traffic, the flow of traffic

[12:55] coming in and out of this amphitheater.

[12:57] But Turning Point insisted that that was

[13:00] where they wanted to have the event. It

[13:02] was because Turning Point insisted that

[13:04] that event was then held outside. Now, I

[13:06] can tell you having done these events,

[13:08] that was the first thing among many that

[13:11] struck me as odd. So, those are two

[13:12] separate sources that I showed you that

[13:14] are contradicting Bride Harpool's

[13:17] version of events. The next

[13:18] inconsistency that was brought up in the

[13:20] interview is the amount of personal

[13:23] security that was there that day for

[13:24] Charlie Kirk. So UVU had their own

[13:27] security and Charlie Kirk had his own

[13:30] security. It was reported in the news

[13:32] that UVU had six officers and Charlie's

[13:34] own personal security had eight guards.

[13:37] However, Brian Harpool, of course, now

[13:40] says something different.

[13:41] >> I took 12 guys there. I I had double the

[13:44] amount of people there that the PD had.

[13:46] Actually, he said they had 13.

[13:48] >> And then we had actually a 13 there that

[13:50] came in the in the drive party.

[13:52] >> So, were there eight security guards as

[13:55] was initially reported the in the days

[13:57] after this event, or were there 13

[14:00] security guards like Brian Harpool is

[14:02] now saying 2 months later?

[14:03] >> You sit on a throne of lies.

[14:05] >> So, the next lie that he told in the

[14:07] interview has to do with the hospital

[14:09] that they brought Charlie Kirk to.

[14:11] According to Brian, in the weeks leading

[14:13] up to the events, they had already

[14:14] planned which hospital they would go to

[14:16] in the event of an emergency, and they

[14:19] picked out the closest one

[14:20] >> and and the the one that we went to um

[14:23] was the closest one, but it was a level

[14:25] three. Yeah, we knew that. Um the the

[14:28] next closest one was another 7 minutes

[14:29] away.

[14:30] >> That's not true.

[14:31] >> Members of the jury, I present to you

[14:33] exhibit A. As you can see, here is UVU.

[14:36] That's where they had the TPUSA event on

[14:38] September 10th. And right over here is

[14:41] the Tempanos hospital that they brought

[14:43] Charlie Kirk to after he was shot. And

[14:45] when you look at the map, you can see

[14:47] that to get to Tempenos, you literally

[14:49] have to drive past a whole other

[14:50] hospital. Why does this man lie so much?

[14:52] To

[14:52] >> save our asses.

[14:54] >> Another false statement that Brian made

[14:57] during the interview has to do with the

[14:59] EMS. So, after Charlie Kirk was hit, he

[15:02] goes down and they all rush and they

[15:04] pick him up and they bring him to the

[15:06] SUV. and he's explaining that the reason

[15:08] that they brought him to the SUV rather

[15:11] than allowing EMS to tend to Charlie is

[15:14] because there was no EMS.

[15:16] >> Uh first rule of emergency medicine when

[15:19] an EMT goes cuz I've done this. If you

[15:22] don't walk into the room when you're

[15:23] doing your skills portion and say, "Hey,

[15:25] is the scene safe?" They fail you and

[15:28] you're done.

[15:29] Right? And so those medics that were

[15:32] around that buggy were nowhere to be

[15:34] found. Why? cuz they're taking cover

[15:35] like everybody else.

[15:36] >> Mhm.

[15:37] >> Members of the jury, I present to you

[15:39] exhibit B. Here you can see that they

[15:41] are bringing Charlie to the SUV and oh

[15:44] look, an EMS is running after them

[15:46] trying to help them.

[15:47] >> Those medics that were around that buggy

[15:49] were nowhere to be found.

[15:51] >> So, as you can see, what he said isn't

[15:52] true. But there's also another moment.

[15:55] Now, this isn't a lie, but it's just

[15:57] something that he said that I didn't

[15:58] like, and I want to play it for you

[15:59] guys.

[16:00] >> So, um, we get in. Charlie was a big

[16:04] man. Long um we kind of laugh about it

[16:08] now, but um we get him in and uh but the

[16:12] door is not going to close.

[16:14] >> Where's the punch line? You know, I

[16:16] myself am not offended by dark humor,

[16:19] but I don't see

[16:21] where's the joke

[16:24] in that sentence, in that statement, in

[16:26] that situation. How do you how do you

[16:28] how do you laugh about that? What is

[16:29] funny about that? um we kind of laugh

[16:32] about it. Now,

[16:33] >> something else that he said that was

[16:34] very off-putting has to do with the

[16:36] autopsy. In the interview, he's talking

[16:38] about the moments when he first learned

[16:41] that Charlie Kirk didn't make it. And he

[16:45] says that these were his first thoughts.

[16:48] >> I want to say I can't remember who it

[16:50] was, but I I I knew I was like, we're

[16:52] not going to turn this into some JFK.

[16:55] Um I and I I specifically asked one of

[16:58] the doctors. I don't know. I remember

[17:00] what she looked like. Uh, dark skin, um,

[17:04] like dark hair, probably 35, 40 years

[17:07] old. I said, "How long until we can get

[17:09] an autopsy?" And I remember her saying,

[17:11] "A day, a day and a half." And I was

[17:14] like, and so, I mean, she's the boss of

[17:18] that. That's just information. And so,

[17:20] um, uh, I remember, uh, I was like, man,

[17:25] that's a long time.

[17:28] We need to get this autopsy done and

[17:30] done right so that there's not some

[17:32] conspiracy.

[17:33] >> Like, what even is that? What even is

[17:36] that? That is such a weird thing for

[17:38] someone to think in that situation. In

[17:40] the same interview, he talks about

[17:43] having a friendly relationship with

[17:44] Charlie. You would expect his first

[17:47] thoughts to be about the loss of his

[17:49] friend, the fact that Charlie is a

[17:51] husband, he's a father, he's a brother,

[17:54] he has so many people who love him. Why

[17:56] would you think that there needs to be

[17:58] an autopsy? Because you don't want

[18:00] people to think that there's a

[18:01] conspiracy. It's just such a weird thing

[18:03] to say and we do think there's a

[18:04] conspiracy and I don't think seeing the

[18:07] autopsy is going to change that anyways.

[18:08] Now, here's another thing that he said

[18:11] that is not true.

[18:13] >> And so, do it. Make them make them tell

[18:16] us why

[18:17] that they tore that up before it was

[18:20] even cold. I want to know

[18:23] cuz it came back on us that we had some

[18:26] trap door and they're covering up the

[18:28] trap door and we had a guy hiding in

[18:30] there.

[18:31] >> Okay, that's actually my next question.

[18:33] I didn't hear about the there was

[18:34] somebody hiding in the trap door.

[18:36] >> Gun was hiding or something.

[18:37] >> I heard there was a trap door or

[18:39] something. Was there a trap door in a

[18:40] tunnel system?

[18:41] >> No,

[18:42] >> there was not.

[18:43] >> No.

[18:44] So maybe the term trap door is not the

[18:48] most accurate way to describe what was

[18:50] there, but there was something there.

[18:52] There was a tunnel beneath where Charlie

[18:54] Kirk was sitting. And the construction

[18:55] workers were meddling with this area

[18:57] when they were paving over the grass.

[18:59] I'm sure there's more lies that he told

[19:01] that I missed. And if there are, please
