And we are live. Let me just make sure that everything's good. Cool. I see you guys in the chat. I see you guys in the YouTube chat. I see you guys in the X chat. We're going to hang out and let people get in here. come on in and hang out. If you're on X, I hate to say it, but I'm just teasing you on X. I'm going to kill the X stream and send everybody to YouTube in a couple minutes when we get started here. So, if you're on X, find the YouTube link if you want to hang. And if you don't, keep Xing. Keep on Xing because I'm sure your X feed is [ __ ] crazy still. Good to see you guys all in the chat. Good to see the regulars. Long time no live see. It's going to be kind of a somber show. We're going to try to not get too political. We're going to try to not get too into the weeds of all of the divisive stuff and just try to figure out what's going on. What evidence do we have? What kind of story is coming out here? What makes sense? what doesn't make sense. Um, we're going to try to just keep it keep it real. Um, you're on both lives. You're a legend. Appreciate you. Whatever your name was. I just saw your comment and it's gone. Okay. Yeah. Rest in peace, Charlie. Yeah, for real. Agree with that comment. Um, so again, if you're coming in here on X, we're going to move, we're going to kill the X stream and move it all just to YouTube. Um, so deal with it. I just figured I would tease the exfriend a little bit, let you guys know it's happening. And there's a link for you. It's 455. I said we would start at 5, but realistically, I'm sick of waiting around. I just this is a tough topic to talk about. There's a million words to say and I kind of want to just get started. I see super chats coming in and y'all are legends. I really appreciate that. I think right now it would make a lot more sense to be donating to Charlie Kirk's family. Um I saw Tucker Carlson donated a million dollars and set up a fund. Um, and I know it sounds like he already did the whole job, but uh, you know, raising a family without him is going to be a long tough journey. Um, so every little bit will help, I'm sure. So, I appreciate your guys' uh, super chats. That's great. Um, but today it might be better to donate to Charlie. Go buy a freedom shirt from his website. Do something like that. Um, if you're on X, I'm killing your stream. We're going to We're going to YouTube. About to like cut this number I'm seeing on my screen in in a half here. What do I do? I do that. And I do that. Uh, peace out, X. Sick. Now we just have the real homies in here. None of this riff raff. Um, cool. Well, welcome to the stream. It's good to see you guys all again. It's been a long time. Um, and I don't know, this video just felt like we just needed to do it live. Just felt like time for free speech Fridays. Um, in honor of what Charlie stood for, and just in the nature of something so kind of raw, um, I don't know. I just didn't feel like the kind of video that you should be editing. and chopping and and there's a lot to go through. It's constantly developing. Today we've had a whole bunch of developments and so we're going to go through everything we know up till this point right now. Um and we're going to kind of start at the beginning. Um in the chat real quick, YouTube in the chat, let me just give me thumbs up. Give me give me thumbs up or say we're good if uh you got good audio and good video. I think we're I think we're all set. Ready to get rolling. Good to see the ex homies coming on over. Appreciate you guys. We got a lovehate relationship with X. I kind of [ __ ] hate X. It's such a vitriolic just place that just fills people with the desire to fight. And this issue is one that is just inflamed so many people and it's just so not the vibe right now. Um so let's get started. Um we're going to talk about obviously very controversial [ __ ] today and we're going to speak freely about all of the possibilities and all of the ideas and if it offends you, I'm sorry. Um deal with it. That's the plan. Um because I already offended a whole bunch of people um this morning with a pretty hot take. I'll admit like I came out pretty blasting and it went really big. Um and there was legit criticisms. I probably should have put the words if so then um to add a little bit more clarity to the, you know, possibility of the Israel theory. Dave Smith drew some uh had some comments on his show that I take no offense to. Dave is great. His take is way more level-headed than mine. Um, you know how it is. Um, but Candace has a good point that I just want to fra frame us with here. Um, that this is complicated. There's a lot going on and everyone has their suspicions of, you know, who's doing what of who caused it, who called it in, how many, you know, like what kind of operation was it? Um, and no one knows yet. We don't know. We don't know who was in charge of it. We don't know who called it in. We don't really even know if the guy that's arrested is really the shooter. Um, all we know is like what evidence we've seen and see what that means. And we're going to go through all of it right now. But it's it can seem insensitive, I think, to it can seem like you're trying to get clicks and views and trying to drum up like hype and an agenda if you're trying to like blame Israel or blame leftists or blame trans people or whatever you're trying to do. And it's not about any of that. It's about the truth. And that's what Charlie believed in. If like I don't know Charlie, I didn't know him. He's like we weren't friends. We were kind of adversarial and I I kind of regret sort of caricaturizing him so much now. Um and I hope to learn from this. But if there's one thing that we all know about Charlie Kirk, it's that he believed in Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ to him means the way, the light, and the truth. And so it's no secret that Charlie was a fighter for the truth. And a lot of people disagreed with his truth and I certainly didn't agree with all of his truth either. Like we all have our own assessment of truth. And for me, there's been a lot of highlighting in just in kind of a metaphoric sense how belief and truth every day, like as the years progress, as we get closer and closer to like this AI unreality, I think we're all kind of coming to realize that truth and belief are very similar things. And the line between what is true and what are you choosing to believe is true is often a lot blurriier than we would like to admit. And and it's just an important framing I think to remember that we don't know very much about anything in this world and ultimately a lot of what we believe comes down to deciding to believe it. Um, and so it matters who shot Charlie Kirk. It matters a lot. And it will deeply change history. whether we figure it out for real or don't, whether it was this party or that party or just a lone guy, um, how that process of disclosure happens, all of those things matter a lot. And from Candace's perspective as Charlie's close friend, for all of his close friends, I'm sure for his wife, I would imagine that those people very much want the truth, the real truth. Um, I'm obviously totally on the sidelines of this. This has nothing to do with me really other than with us as a nation and with us as a culture and with journalism and with politics and and it matters. The truth matters. Um, and so, you know, you can call people names all you want. You can say that I'm like a [ __ ] you know, an Israel freak. You can say that, you know, people have agendas. That's cool. Whatever you want to say. But like ultimately until we feel conclusive evidence, which is not likely to even really ever happen for most of us, we should be asking questions and seeking the truth. So let's start at the start and kind of walk our way in. A lot of you guys have probably seen a lot of this, but we're going to kind of like tease on each little detail and pull it apart. And it all started with in a certain way uh with Harrison posting this um this comment on a video that I made way back a month ago. And I was talking about Nick and Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk debating and just kind of like this whole commentary. And he says, "I'm not going to name names, but I was told by someone close to Charlie that Charlie thinks Israel will kill him if he turns against them." And this tweet turned out to be a real wrench in whatever the hell was going on because it blew up and went mega viral. and Harrison just happened to be hosting the Alex Jones show as the shooting happened. Um, that whole day was so [ __ ] Everything was like honestly it hit I think I can only speak for myself but I kind of think that a lot of people are feeling this way where like obviously I was always going to be saddened by this. This was always going to be a tragedy to me, but I was surprised. I am surprised by how much it's kind of like hit me in the face and how much it feels like it's hit everyone and like just no one like I don't really have the words to describe why or what it meant or why I'm like so I'm just going to not not focus on that. We're going to focus on the evidence. Um and maybe, you know, in a week or so we'll have better words for the emotional side of this thing. But if you want to know more about Harrison and his take here, this tweet, he has elaborated on it in a number of places. He did a great podcast, um, subscribe to Liberty Lockdown. Great podcast. Clint is tight. Um, they had a long conversation on YouTube there. Um, oh, did I close the other tab? I had a tab of, uh, Harrison also put out another video on his ex account explaining what that meant. And ultimately, there wasn't a lot more to share. He's not going to name the source. The source has asked him not to name them. He trusts the source very much and he's he very much like they both stand by that piece of reporting that a person very close to Charlie said that Charlie did say that. Um and there's a lot more evidence to come out around there and you know later on in these 500 tabs. So um so the Israel thing, we're going to unpack that a little first. It's not the only angle we're going to unpack, but it's context that kind of comes before the day of the shooting. So, um, Charlie Kirk is kind of the caricature of the right-wing Zionist influencer, and he built the most massive, influential, impressive platform in TurningPoint USA, largely on Zionist monetary backing. Um, but also on blood, sweat, tears, hard work. Um, like there's no understating how absolutely impressive Turning Point is as an organization and how impactful it is. And I was saying this to my friend the other day that um even if you're not on the right, even if you don't agree with Charlie's opinions and perspectives, I would hope that all sane moderate people in our nation right now would understand that we want young people involved in politics and we want young people thinking critically about their future and about the nation. and like probably no one has done more for the youth getting engaged in politics than Charlie Kirk. Um, and the power of Turning Point and Charlie's platform as an influence, especially over young conservative people in America, cannot be understated. Like, it cannot. Um, and so when the Zionists that backed him all the way, that built Turning Point USA underneath him and around him with their money, um, when they start to hear things like Charlie Kirk saying, "Oh, you guys probably aren't going to have audio from the screen because I'm not sharing tabs. you're going to have to deal with it. You don't need the audio on these things for the most part. You kind of do need the audio. [ __ ] Um, so Charlie Kirk was saying we should release all the Epstein files, right? Um, but that's not it. I'm sure that you guys have seen his interview with Megan Kelly where he opens with the words, "I'm terrified." And then they go back and forth talking about how they have received some real push back from sort of the donor class. Um that like it just feels sketchy. And Harrison, this is the video that Harrison was referring to in this kind of original tweet and in conversation. He did a really great stream on Infowars about it. He was referring to this conversation between Charlie and Megan where they were kind of going back and forth and and they just felt scared. It felt weird and and sketchy. Um he was talking about like really high like highly intellectual critiques of Jewish donors in the American left funding cultural Marxism and like things that degrade like American values. And he was not like he was totally not shy about talking about it. This is I'm a recent more recent clip, but like he with his knowledge and political expertise, if this man starts criticizing Israel in an earnest way, in an unfiltered way, he has the wherewithal and the political like uh understanding to really open some cans of worms. And um I really don't think you can understate how dangerous that would be to Israel if he were to start criticizing them openly. Um, who's starting all the wars? He was talking about it. Very real segment about war with Iran and just being not not about it and being talking about how it's good for Israel, it's not good for us. Um, this is must be a redo of the same conversation. quote, "Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open borders, neoliberal, quasi Marxist policies." Like that is literally like a a groper Nazi talking point when people want to smear that talk like that topic and don't want to talk about it. And it's like I didn't know that Charlie was talking about these things. I wasn't watching Charlie's streams. I was just characterizing him and kind of talking [ __ ] on Twitter um kind of like a dumbass and I wasn't actually paying attention to the words he was saying. And he he when you actually go back and look he was clearly changing his perspective and on Epstein like quote this is no longer just speculation. First of all the evidence that shows that Epstein was a creation of either MSAD, Israeli intelligence, American intelligence etc. He was going in on the obvious fact that Jeffrey Epstein was a creation of Israel and worked for Israel via Ahood Barack and Galain Maxwell. And so these are very taboo topics in general, but coming from their guy, the one that has built the new American young right-wing coalition with thousands of chapters all across America on college and high school campuses. And then his very last episode is literally a podcast with Ben Shapiro where he just like straight up says like, you know, I feel like we can like we should be able to criticize Israel. And like goes into it and dude, Ben's face is just it's not good. It's And so that sort of Okay, here's the other Harrison stream. Um, if you're more interested in what Harrison was thinking when he wrote that original tweet and all that, he elaborates in it. Um, in this clip from Infowars, August 7th of 2025, um, and there's a post that he put up to explain it, although honestly he doesn't exactly add a lot of context, but so, you know, it's it it kind of builds this narrative and and X did all that. Like, I was not trying to stoke that. I wasn't trying to get in and like blame Israel immediately, although I did, you know, fire off shots this morning, so to speak. Um, but this narrative built on X um largely on its own put it all together. Sorry guys, I forgot how to use the streaming stuff. It's been a long time. And ultimately, like there's a narrative to do to put there. It it tracks and it comes together. Um, and then you you start to think about like what are the question marks here? Like what are what factors make that story actually play? And the real question is what was Charlie actually saying behind the scenes about Israel? What was he actually being told by his donors and by any Israelis or Apac people or you know his Zionist funders behind the scenes? How much did they know about his true feelings? How constrained was he feeling? Like what what was really going on back there? Right? That's the real question. Basically, the question is what what did this guy that told this to Harrison, what did that guy actually hear? What did he actually know? What is what's really going on in the background with Charlie Kirk? And today, the Greyzone published this article. Max Blumenthal and Ana Parampiel Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer was frightened by pro-Israel forces before death. Friend reveals now in the article they do not disclose the identity of their source and they don't as far as I saw disclose whether this is the same source as talked to Harrison. I don't think we know that. But it very much seems to corroborate Harrison's claim. In the weeks leading up to his September 10th assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a bully. The source said Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president's personal decisions and weaponize Israeli assets like billionaire donor donor Miriam Adlesen to keep the White House firmly under its thumb. Like according to Kirk's friend who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump in his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel's behalf. Quote, "Charlie was the only person who did that," they said, recalling how Trump barked at him in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk's mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power and was leading his own country into a series of dist disastrous conflicts. I mean, it's an anonymous source, but like the gray zone I they they don't [ __ ] around. Like I I trust them more than the mainstream media for sure. The following month, Kirk had become the target of sustain of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu. Figures he described in an interview as Jewish leaders and stakeholders. Quote, he was afraid of them. The source emphasized at TPUSA. The rift with Israel widened and you know it goes on. He had uh Tucker Carlson and Dave Smith on and a lot more open conversation and some really like legit [ __ ] was said. some real truth was thrown down and that like this is just my opinion, but in my opinion, if that was allowed to continue, if America spent the next year watching Charlie Kirk turn on the present administration in Israel, even if he maintained his sort of like greater Zionist stance, and even if he maintained his greater sort of like semi-Jewish like Christian identity. Um, and I don't mean that as a dig. I mean that as like he literally like took Sabbath. Um, anyways, it uh that would have destroyed the American support for Israel. That would have entirely alienated the the entire right-wing under 25 or so, right? like they there's no coming back from watching Charlie Kirk slowly unccor his true feelings about Israel if those are his true feelings like we just read and to then watch the fall because there's this other thing that happens is any time that a person that has not been critical of Israel is critical for the first time on the internet especially if they're Jewish or especially if they were a supporter of Israel and they say that first negative thing and then they experience for the first time the just slander of like anti-semitism, Nazi, you're a bigot, far right, you crazy extremist. And you just you are immediately bombarded by the Hosbara propaganda attack machine. Suddenly, Charlie Kirk is funded by Qar and all the other allegations get thrown out. Like, it would have just shown the it would have been the messiest most like like dumpster fire that you could ever imagine there. So, I just say all that to say that there is evidence like Dave Smith had legitimate criticisms. Like I came out very hot. You're right. Not a factual statement at the time. Um I said, what did I say at the start of it? It was the internet already figured out who was the most likely culprit. And so there there it's not like there was no evidence. It's not like there is no evidence for Israel. And that is not it. That is just circumstantial context. But then we're going to actually get to the shooting and the day of the shooting and what happened. Um so there is like because here's the thing. Here's the thing. More context. A political assassination happens. one of the like honestly like Charlie Kirk is a more significant political figure than 95% of Congress, right? Like in a lot of ways Charlie Kirk has done more in right-wing politics than basically every politician except for like the core cabinet and and like the key senators, right? And so this is a extremely high-profile political assassination. It wasn't, it's not like he was protected by Secret Service or any of that. Like there, you know, there's nuance. But in a political assassination of that magnitude, the first question is who are the suspects? And one large group of suspects that is immediately in question every time there's a political assassination is intelligence agencies from all nations. Obviously, like unless you were born yesterday, just read a book. If someone shoots at a large political figure, whether that's a media figure, an actual politician, a preacher, whatever, it's like it's not always going to be an intelligence agency, but it damn well could be, right? And so, it's not some crazy hairrained thing to just ask, could this have been a state sponsored intelligence agency hit job? In this case, you would normally not think to look at Israel, which is like Charlie is like the biggest Israel supporter ever, but when you understand the circumstances and the context, they immediately become the most likely, in many ways, the only likely intelligence agency that might have had motive. And I would argue that we just talked about a lot of motive. Obviously, it's not a thing that they would just do lightly. It's not a thing that like they well depends who's doing it because let's be real, Israel has, shall we say, a habit of assassinating people like [ __ ] crazy and they have a pattern of shooting people in the neck. Um, that does not mean that they did it, but it's not not evidence, right? Like it's not no reason to say such a thing. Okay, let's be clear. So then it was kind of weird when Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted praying for Charlie Kirk at 3:02 p.m. Literally, he tweeted it before President Trump. It was like within a minute or two of the actual shooting. It was like right when it happened as though he all like That's so weird. That's super weird. And he's been super vocal about the whole thing and about how he's like blaming it on like Muslims and jihadists and radicalism. And it's like, dude, Iran didn't shoot Charlie Kirk. Calm down, Benji. Get the [ __ ] out of our country. So, like, that's weird. That's just weird, right? And it does not prove anything. So, on to some of the on the ground evidence. Um, there was a couple different videos that circulated. It was basically just two videos of guy on the roof. One was before the shooting and then this one is after the shooting. And this is just a freeze frame of just, you know, one of the better frames of the guy's silhouette as he got up after the shooting and started running away. And I'm sure you guys have seen this stuff by now. Um, and this is where my tabs might be a little out of order. Um, but we're getting into all the weird stuff that's come out like yesterday and today about the order of operations, the sequence of events here that just like do not make sense. Um, oh, you guys literally can't even see my screen. Can you tell I haven't done this in a while? So, here is what you are supposed to believe. And to be clear, maybe it's true. Maybe the story that we're being told is entirely true. I am personally, let's just say I have some serious questions and we're about to get to them. And one of the first questions that I have is these other people that were on the ground in the crowd that looked like they were trying to be distractions. There's really no other way to say it. This guy is not one of them. This guy was like a person of interest that they detained for some amount of time that we don't really have. We never got more story on him as far as I'm aware. This guy is the really suspicious one. I mean, hate to say it, but he is an Ashkanazi Jew in one of the least Jewish states in America. Um, there's also this thread where he was involved in 911 propaganda, which is the video kind of showing on the right there, which is a weird coincidence. But the main thing is this guy was arrested at first as though he was the suspect. And that's because he was acting like a [ __ ] suspect apparently. And when they drug him off, he was shoot me, shoot me. and like making a huge scene like and then his pants fell down and it was very weird and it was not the kind of behavior that an innocent person like if you're innocent you would be like hey I didn't do this I'm innocent right but instead this weird old dude is like causing a huge scene as the shooter is leaving and getting away and there was two of them it was this guy and it was apparently this guy. We don't have a lot of details on exactly when this detainment happened and what the context around it was. Oh no, this is a different video. My bad. Um, this is apparently a guy running away. There is this other guy, I don't know if I even have the video here, who was arrested with a pellet gun. And we have a video like from around the corner where he's like at the car and he's also an older guy with kind of longer hair and he had a plet gun apparently. Um, so there's all this [ __ ] happening on the ground that seems to be active distractors helping with a getaway essentially. And that's obviously interpretation. We don't know that for sure, but it's suspicious. It's [ __ ] weird. Um, I mean, when you know I I think we were all waiting to see like is it a trans activist, like is it a crazy trans person shooting him? Is it like a Muslim jihadist shooting him or is it an Israeli sniper? It was kind of like what most people were thinking. And if it had been a trans person, it would have been super weird to have like some old Jewish dude kind of running distraction for you. It's like that's a weird combo of people to be doing stuff together. Um it's still a weird combo for the kid that they've arrested now and are saying shot him, but I don't know. Um, so couple of theories that went around for a while that had a lot of people kind of chasing down rabbit holes that are not a thing. The ring, the ring changed fingers and it was a very weird thing and everyone was freaking out like, is it all AI? Is the whole world a stage? And no, it's a clasp ring that opens up and when he got shot, it opened and hung down and looked like it had switched fingers. So, here's a video of him playing with it. So, just to clear that up. If you got hung up on the ring stuff, that's why the ring did that. Um, so we know a lot more about this this element of the story now that uh the Grey Zone published its piece, but allegedly Charlie Kirk Netanyahu personally requested that Charlie Kirk visit Israel two weeks before his assassination and he apparently denied the request. Somewhere in here we have a report that he was apparently also turning down funding from BB and Israel aligned factions in the last several months. Um but we'll get we'll get to that in a minute. So now these videos that came out like surveillance videos of like the ingress egress of the shooter. Um I got some [ __ ] questions. Let's just put it that way. Okay, I got some questions. Um, and I'm going to make the video big for this one. And obviously, like this is going to be very interpretive in in some instances. Um, but we're just going to look through this and have some questions. So, this we are told that this is the shooter walking towards the venue with the rifle down his pants, which is why he's limping like this, right? So, the rifle is allegedly fully put together and sticking down his pants. And so he can't bend his leg. So he has this weird [ __ ] limp all the way to the venue. But then he bends his knee on some frames. And I went back and forth a bunch. That is his that is the leg that is causing the limp. And that knee is bent. And so it's like if you're limping like that because you can't bend your knee because there's a [ __ ] rifle next to it, then you can't like bend your knee. Or if the rifle is not going past your knee, then you can bend your knee and you don't have a [ __ ] crazy limp. Like maybe the rifle is like right at the knee and so you can kind of bend the knee a little, but it's like still awkward. But that's like really [ __ ] weird. Um, especially in light of like the backpack later and the rifle not being there when he jumps off the roof. M. It's like hard to tell what's going on here. And obviously it's all shitty footage, but it's just weird. It's like really is that is that how this dude got in by just like limping in with a rifle in his [ __ ] pants? Maybe like maybe. And then he, you know, ran off later. Um, but just like keep that in mind that we're told that the rifle was down his pant leg, which is what was causing that limp. But then it would appear. So then we're told that he he got onto the roof I think allegedly through the stairwell. And then he gets up onto the roof, goes takes the shot. Well, actually, allegedly, based on what they told us in the press conference, he got onto the roof, changed his clothes, took the shot, packed the rifle up into his bag by the time he got to the edge and jumped down with no apparent long gun. It's possible that the gun is sticking out the top of the backpack. Whatever's in his hand is clearly floppy. It's obviously too grainy of a video to really know, but it it's not super clear that the gun is out anywhere. Um, maybe that's the towel hanging over it in his hand and he's kind of got it half draped. I could believe that. Um, so who knows? But we were told at the press conference that he broke down the rifle, went into the woods, reassembled it, and then left it there and ran off. Which is like, why are we reassembling the rifle in the first place, bro? Why did you even break it down in the first place? And if you can break the rifle down and fit it in your [ __ ] backpack, why did you walk into the venue with it in your [ __ ] pant legs? Like maybe, just to play devil's advocate, maybe it's that you wanted the rifle preassembled so that when you get into position, you're like ready to shoot, but aren't you worried about getting into position in the first place? Aren't you walking up a bunch of stairs with a stiff leg? And if you can [ __ ] break down a rifle as you're running to the edge of the roof, like [ __ ] who knows? Or maybe it's still in his hand and he's breaking it down on the way to the woods, but the cops said that he put it back together in the woods. And there's this element of Oh, on that point, I I believe that part of the reason why we're told that he reassembled the rifle in the woods is because when they showed us the photo of the rifle, the scope was mounted in a way that was not how it would be shooting. It was like way too far back as though it had gotten knocked and like out of position or something. But, um, I don't know. It's like I'm no expert on long guns. I don't have much long gun experience at all. Um, so I've been trying to look around for expert takes on like how hard the shot was and you know where's the gun here and like does it make sense in the woods and how small does this thing break down? How long does it take to break down? And obviously um you know everyone's going to have their takes. Experts on both sides are disagreeing, but like here I'll see if I can move myself. Not. So, it's like I don't know what to make of these videos, but I've got some more questions. Um, oh, this is a police scanner. If you're curious, you can find the police scanner east of the library. He's wearing jeans, black shirt, black mask, long rifle. Um, this is it's a video that's 1 minute 44 seconds long. So that's out there if you want to listen to it. I think we have more information than that by now anyways, but it's important to collect all these little pieces as it goes. Everyone's really going back and forth about whether he has this rifle with him when he jumps off the roof. And honestly, like you can't tell. It sure doesn't look like it, but you you can't tell. To me, it seems like if he has it with him, it's probably in the backpack, but it doesn't seem like that like a mouser breaks down to be small enough to go into the backpack. Um, so I don't know. Um, there was this jet, this private jet that took off like right after the shooting from an airport right next door and it like turned off its transponder and everyone got very suspicious of the jet. So, here's an update on the jet. Um MJ Truth ultra kind of knew a person that I don't know join our community our state and our as often happens unfortunately there's all this misinformation at approximately blah 1:20 p.m. a private aircraft owned by one of our companies with tail number blank deported departed the Provo airport. So basically he's saying like this was our plane. This was not nefarious. Had nothing to do with the shooting. We disavow this. Please don't spread misinformation. Basically coming out and being like, "Hey, that's what this was. Don't stress it." And that probably pretty much clears up the weird plane thing. Although it's worth noting that the planes at the airport, like just the regular flights, were not grounded. So there were flights going in and out. Um, another update is this is the kid that asked the question um right before Charlie was shot. the question was about gun violence and so there was some suspicion floating around about like that seems like a leading question like was that person in on it. Um which you know kind of a fair question to ask based upon just how terribly ironic the timing of it all was. But I got to say this dude um seems very genuine. He does not seem to be making this up. He does not He's He condemns the violence. He's clearly broken up about it and kind of shocked. Um and obviously he doesn't agree with Charlie Kirk, but he seems like a a solid dude when when it comes down to what counts. So, um I think that pretty much clears up the question of whether you know the you know the person asking the question was in on it. This is just a comment that I saved because I've wanted to. It It's just a good good set of thoughts to question. Um, let me be clear about the speculation. A Mouser hunting rifle is roughly 42 in long from muzzle to butt plate and weighs around 9.5 lbs with a medium powered scope as shown in the Discovery photos. The black object in question does not look large enough to conceal a rifle over 3 ft long. That makes the rooftop suspect look far more like a pathy or distraction than the actual shooter. Another glaring issue is that investigators have not recovered the single round that entered and exited Charlie Kirk's neck. Just like Trump's Butler 1.0 incident, no round, no projectile, no bullet was ever found. And without the bullet, there can be no substantiated forensic or ballistic evidence linking the rifle they claim to have recovered to the crime itself. For the CSI level investigation, that gap is more than ironic. It's suspicious. That's a really good point. And yes, the bullet has not been located, although it was probably a direct through and through. There's um actually one more thing to go back to here. The bulletproof vest theories. Um I don't know if we have a clear answer of whether or not Charlie was wearing a bulletproof vest that day. He's well known to wear a vest underneath his clothing at events like this, but from the images from that day, it does not look like he was wearing one under this white shirt that he was wearing. Um, but it's possible that he was, you know, I'm no bulletproof vest expert. There's this shock wave that happens in the video right before you see the blood that like is intense. It's like and like it's it's surprising. If you've ever seen like deer getting shot in slow motion or ballistic jelly getting shot in slow motion, you've you've seen that shock wave happen. It was just it was a it was a lot to see it hit a human who seems like, you know, feels like a dude on the TV, a regular guy that's like here ours, you know, just a dude. Um, so I think it was kind of shocking to see and I think that that shock wave is what had people thinking that it had hit his bulletproof vest and ricocheted up into his neck. I don't my I personally don't think that's what happened. Um, I think it hit his neck straight on. Um, could totally be wrong about that, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that we have confirmation that he was wearing a vest or that it was a ricochet. Um, I don't know, but I do know that it it matters if it was intentionally a shot to the neck or if it was a miss that hit the neck or if it was a ricochet that hit the neck because those track with different profiles of shooters and a very different storyline. That being said, we're never really going to know the answer to that. And here's a third layer that no one seems to be reporting. The Losi Center building was recently it recently underwent a major renovation and upgrade. It's only logical to assume multiple security cameras were added or upgraded during that project. So why then are we seeing no surveillance footage whatsoever from the top of or outside the lossy center structure? Correct. We do not have video of the shot. Apparently, there's no video angles that show that corner of the top of that building when the shot was taken. And there's surprisingly few video angles of the rest of the campus, too, which is weird. When Where's my boy Ryan at? Did I miss Ryan's? Here it is. I've got so many [ __ ] tabs open here. So, Ryan Mada, if you don't know him, he's the [ __ ] He's a filmmaker. and he did a whole deep dive into he actually found internal documents of the design of this remodel from Utah Valley University with their actual schematics and layouts and plans and what kind of cameras they were installing and all sorts of [ __ ] And he looked into how many cameras are on campuses and and did a whole report on the fact that they installed a shitload of new cameras and they tell you that they were installing them on the corners of all the buildings and all these locations. And so it's very weird like these are 360 degree cameras that are, you know, 1080p resolution. Um, it's kind of weird how few shots of video we've got of this situation. And I would recommend you go check out Ryan Mada if you want to know more about that. He posted the whole report down below. Great journalism by Ryan. So, this is Tyler Robinson, allegedly the shooter. Um, the Converse do match the Converse that were in the photos released the other day from, you know, whatever they were taking those photos from. Um, other than that, it's hard to kind of like it's kind of hard to piece together with any level of certainty what, you know, other than kind of just trusting the FBI. Um, but there's this weird thread about how he was communicating with someone on Discord prior to and about the assassination. And the way the story goes is allegedly this kid who's raised by a Republican family, raised around guns as a young person. There's photos from like his mom's Facebook and stuff that are going around that I don't really want to show of them as kids like holding guns and stuff. It's like he was raised rightwing. Um, and so apparently this dude walks to the campus with a gun in his pants, limps all the way to campus with a gun in his pants, walks up the stairs, pulls out the gun, takes the shot, one shot, perfect shot, doesn't even take a second shot. Immediately runs off the roof, jumps off the corner for some reason instead of taking the stairs. um maybe has the right like maybe packed the rifle down into his bag. Maybe he's carrying it and we can't really see that. Uh runs off into the woods, reassembles the rifle that he has apparently broken down since he took the shot because now the scope is [ __ ] Reassembles it and hides it in the woods so he can come back for it later. goes and runs home and then just tells his like like decades of police work dad like his dad was apparently law enforcement for a long time and that's why he was raised super rightwing like this and he's just going to go and tell his cop dad that he did this. I am very confused by that. Um, and also the fact that it's I haven't done the deep dive on how long he had been at college. He wasn't at this school. He was going to a different college, but uh I saw a post that said he'd only been there for one semester. Um, I don't know. But like the idea is that he like was radicalized by college. Do I have the uh photo open? Did I keep it open? I don't think so. Um and and so it's like, wait a minute, you went from that to that in one semester. Um here it is. So this is apparently a more recent photo of him. You can see the painted nails, bracelets, uh trans flag, pride flag, masking, uh nice and skinny. um from that to that that's university I guess but um it's just weird and um we'll probably talk for a second in a minute here about how everyone's trying to pin it on like an ideology and a side and I like I get it um but you know it feels pretty divisive right now and not super. We We'll get to that. Um so yeah, this is where this press conference they told us that um the family turned him in. Um they didn't really tell us that he exactly admitted to it. They told us that he like alluded to it and then they like called him in and and kept him there and turned him in. Um, but then apparently going based off of the press conference and what we're told, it's not exactly adding up because we were told that he lives at home with his parents during the press conference. But then we were also told that he has a roommate. Maybe he lives with a roommate in a part of his parents house or property. I don't know. But apparently he has a roommate. And apparently he had been talking to the roommate on Discord about the rifle being hidden in the woods and he needed to go back and get the rifle later. And apparently he's just discording his roommate about the assassination that he's just done. And he needs to go get the rifle. And apparently the roommate is showing the police when they're there showing them this Discord file because they asked him, "Hey, can we see that?" And he said, "Yes." And he showed them the messages in the Discord. and they apparently took photos of each of the messages and then they like conveyed what they were to us, but we haven't seen them as far as I'm aware. And so that is like a weird chain of custody on the Discord piece. And we all know that there's some crazy [ __ ] happening in Discords, the like in the internet in general. The grooming stuff happening, the 764, the whole thing, like the whole comm community that I made a I did a thing about like a week ago that's up on my channels right now that if you don't know about the comm, it's so [ __ ] dark and there's so much uh with all these shooters, there's like something pointing in that direction with everything. In this case, allegedly he had scrolled inscriptions on all of his shell casings and on his rifle or something. Um, and it was all internet slang. The uh the arrows one like up up down down right or whatever that is apparent that's a code from a video game that I forget what it is. My buddy just told me it's not Rocket League, but it's like a video game that I don't play. Um, the all the slang was kind of like deep like like deep internet meme slang. Um, some of it kind of leftist, but it's all just kind of generally like just brain rot essentially. It's brain rot. It's like what you would call [ __ ] brain rot. It's the things that like your 14-year-old son just goes like skinnity skinnity skippity skippity like while they're playing Call of Duty and like trying to get head shots and then they're like like throwing controllers and then just like saying things that make no sense on repeat. Like kids slang has always been weird, but social media and internet culture has made this weird feedback loop. If you have young children, you know what I'm talking about. And so the stuff that was written on the bullets um in all the cases basically like in the other in the Butler one too or not the Butler one, the uh the Catholic school and in this case it's like there's indications that he was deep in internet subculture. Um though in this case not nearly as deep apparently as the trans shooter at the Catholic school, but it's just worth asking about. It's worth looking into because man, this is kind of a sidetracked detour to a rabbit hole, but it's probably worth talking about for just a second. Do you know what a Manurian candidate is? A manurian candidate is a concept from like the 70s in the MK Ultra days. And it's a phrase that I believe came in from internal to the agency first, but then was popular made a thing in pop culture. There's a movie about it, but it's the idea that is a very real idea. It was like the goal, the holy grail of the CIA's black budget programs and of MK Ultra in the 70s, '60s, and 70s is, is it possible to program an assassin? Whether that's using drugs or hypnosis or mind control or internet grooming. The Manurion candidate is this idea of what if you could program a random just any old person to like listen hear a song, play a sound, flip a switch, and then they like switch into a psycho killer that goes and assassinates someone for you. And then they forget all about it. They have no idea what's just happened. And it's like, what the [ __ ] And suddenly you have the perfect killing weapon that can never be traced back to you that can be deployed anywhere in the world. That's what the manurian candidate concept is. And the calm and this internet grooming stuff, it looks an awful lot like exactly what they were looking for. And I cannot help but wonder if there are intelligence agencies in the comm or other organized crime units or, you know, foreign agencies that are using it to like I I feel quite sure that there's some [ __ ] up politics, black budget politics happening in the background of that because that is a powerful tool to achieve some of their most [ __ ] up secret goals that they've had. for a long time. Um, so I'm honestly like when it comes to this kid, dude, this guy, this lost piece of [ __ ] um, I don't really feel like I even get it. I I don't know what his ideology was. We don't have a manifesto. We don't have like writing from him or videos from him like like he was raised right-wing, but then he was like, you know, you saw the photo I just showed you, right? wherever it went. I don't know where it went. Um, it's probably gone now. But, uh, or am I on the page, but it's like a lot of people are trying to speculate about what his ideology was. It's like, dude, I don't know what his ideology was. Like, was he like a left-wing like gay pride trans activist guy? Based on that other photo, you could make that argument. Based on this photo, you'd call him a griper. Like I haven't seen any evidence of any like of anything really substantial other than allegedly what was written on the casings, but it's really too early to know and I'm not even convinced that we can trust that this is the guy yet. Um, and piece of reporting just came out. His grandma apparently is saying that he's never shot a gun in his life. Um, which doesn't really square with the photos that we've seen, but we'll we'll get to that in a second. Steven Crowder coming out with exclusives left and right here. This is apparently the uh charging details. I'm not sure what the technical term is, but it's not like it gives us any new information other than like his personal details probably. It tells us what the charges are. I guess felony discharge of firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, aggravated murder. Um, my understanding is that the death penalty is on the table more than once with all the charges combined. That is my understanding. Anomaly, as always, full of great takes. Just reminding us that there is no footage of the shooter actually firing the shot, which is pretty weird. Um, all things considered, it's not like you would expect people to be cell phone videoing the opposite direction. um of the of the show, but with all the security cameras around and with all the people like it's, you know, it is a little weird. Medi Hassan, um I'm not trying to pick on Medi specifically here. This is just an example of the back and forth that's happening of like was like are the Trump supporters the murderers or is it all the libs? And it's like guys like yes. Yeah, there is violent ideology and I don't really care if it's both sides or if it's one side or the other. It's like fighting over it is just increasing the divide and it's not like yeah the left is [ __ ] insane. I left the left for a reason and they are violent and they are out of control and like we've seen a lot of shootings by leftists. But it's like it's not like you can pretend that no Trump supporters ever hurt anyone. It's just a losing argument. It's just a [ __ ] mudthrowing fight. That's like not it's pointless. If you want to change the country, take Charlie's example. Where dialogue ends, violence begins. And so you need, and I know people are gonna [ __ ] you know, be pissed if it's like, Ian, we're [ __ ] over it. It's time for war. It's like, get [ __ ] dude. You go have your own war. Um, I am far more interested in listening to the other side and hearing their grievances and understanding where they come from and why they believe what they believe and having a conversation about it than I am in having some [ __ ] LAR war as though you're like in Civil War 2.0. Um, it's like, yes, this was a turning point, but what kind of turning point? Like, the deep state agenda has always been divide the people and have them fight each other. And oh boy, they've been working on a race war for a long time now. It's like, let's not let Charlie Kirk's legacy be the incitement of that [ __ ] conflict. Um, and so maybe one of our closing thoughts on the sort of like the status update here, although we'll go through some of the most recent ones here in a second, but Ben Shapiro is apparently now taking over Charlie's place at TPUSA, which is not the best look. Like, it it makes sense. Let's be clear. It makes sense based upon just the landscape of the conservative movement and Ben's relationship with Charlie over the years. It makes sense, but there's this other, you know, subtext, this other layer that does not look great. It's like, huh? The giant Zionist organization and the the beloved founder and head of the whole thing that just got assassinated brutally that there's a bunch of rumors that he was breaking up with Israel and there's a bunch of evidence that he was breaking up with Israel and then like he's assassinated in cold blood and then they pick like the Jewish shill that everyone thinks is a MSAD agent that no one trusts and no one listens to anymore. They pick him to like take over that extremely powerful political grassroots like right-wing organization. That's like pretty awkward choice, guys. And like it's not my choice to make. It's not my life. Like I'm not [ __ ] involved. I don't It's like don't take this as me being like I [ __ ] know what's best because I don't. Like you guys do you. But the optics are not great, right? Like let's just say the optics are not great. Um, before we get to that. Oh, you guys won't be able to hear that. I'll have to reshare. Um, so I just saved. Oh, okay. The photos are not the same person. Tyler Robinson is shown in a bedroom and Sky Valadez is shown on a roadway. Oh, look at me making a mistake here. Um, thanks, uh, community notes. This is apparently a photo of one of the There was a number of like fake doxed people that 4chan as always happens. 4chan and ex everybody went hunting based on the few little photos that were given out and like I don't even know how it's like maybe they were scanning through old Charlie Kirk videos and they like just like face matched on visual that like oh this is our guy for sure like some random dude somewhere I don't know like everyone in Utah was suddenly a suspect and like we're just going to let 4chan scroll through everyone's photo in Utah and be like that's the guy for sure and they're like spreading [ __ ] his personal information and where he lives and his name and his friends and his family all over the internet. It's like super [ __ ] up. Um, like I get people that were criticizing my hot take on Israel this morning, but like holy [ __ ] that's like a different level to be like straight up doxing people as though they were like assassin murderers with like no confirmation at all. Um, so thank you community for straightening us out on there. Um, math kid, not the same kid. Um, I thought I just saved a post about grandma claiming So, it was Crystal Ball from Crystal and Saga from Breaking Points um that claimed that he only went to single semester to this university. Um, this is his family and these photos. I don't want to show those. I don't want to show kids on my channel. Um, I haven't actually gotten to watch Nick's stream yet. I've just seen a couple clips, but I hear it was a total banger and I am not one bit surprised. And I've got to say I'm I'm proud of and for Nick um for nailing it and for doing the right thing and for not trying to like dance in this moment. And you know, I think Nick is really showing a lot of um tact and poise and maturity um the right kinds of it uh this year. Um which is not to say that he was like tactless or immature before, although sometimes um but just to say that he's really on point this year and it it just is really refreshing honestly. And I saw this funny post of this girl. It's like I was told Nick Fuentes is a Nazi and all these things and I never so I went and watched and she's like posting his stream and she's like and oh boy is that not what I found because his stream was like super respectful and honored Charlie Kirk's memory even though they were like literal arch rivals. Um it was just kind of a wholesome like outcome um so to speak of this of a tragic circumstance. Um, so good good on you, Nick. Nice job. Um, so I guess now what I'll do is let me just double check and make sure I don't have any other sources to share. Um, maybe I'll talk to the chat for a second. I don't really want to linger and talk on it forever because honestly I don't really know how I feel. Well, no, that's a [ __ ] lie. I do kind of know how I feel and it's not good. Um, but there's just like no words to kind of capture it and and I think a lot of it for me is like I don't really know why like I'm not involved. It's not about me. Um, like I'm I'm just a dude that talks [ __ ] about Charlie Kirk on the side. And maybe that's why it kind of hit me really hard because our world is full of a lot of judgment. Everyone's [ __ ] judging each other. Everyone is just treating each other like such [ __ ] And and Charlie's a super polarizing guy. Um but X and Twitter and all this [ __ ] this is not real life. And when you go out in real life and you actually meet people, like unless you're a piece of [ __ ] like 90% of the time, 95% of the time, it's awesome. They're awesome. Like people are real people out there. And like realistically, you'll get along with them. Like when I go to events and places where you're meeting all these different influencers from every angle of the aisle, like almost every single one I get along with so good. And Charlie obviously is an example of a guy that like even like you can disagree with his takes, but like if you want to talk about his his character, like I hope that you're an amazing father that's loyal to your wife, that's dedicated, that has faith, that lives by that faith. Like in order to come at Charlie's character, I would hope that you are living a life more right with God than him, which I doubt you are because it's hard to find a single man on this planet today that is living a life as right with God as Charlie seemed to be from the outside and from everyone around him saying how it was. Like that is real respectable in this modern world. Like I don't I think one of the greatest crisises in the modern world is how many men and women in their own ways are living godless lives. And it's and like how many men and women are not just living godless lives but are living lives that are like actively just like avoidant of the concept of God. Like shunning God, like mocking God. Like obviously everyone is [ __ ] not perfect, but you can do your best to try. And I got to say, Charlie Kirk sure as [ __ ] did his best to try. And love him or hate him, like that's super respectable. So, um, to summarize it all up, to wrap it all up, um, it's a tragedy. And I'm not going to delete any of my prior posts. I didn't delete my Israel take even. Like, we'll just see what happens. I'm I've come to be a fan of leaving your own mistakes on the internet too so that you can learn I can learn from them but also so that other people can see that I am not perfect and I've made mistakes and see what I've said in the past and I don't feel like deleting like unless you're spreading danger to some like you're doxing someone that's like wrong like unless you're spreading like misinformation that harms someone um when it's misinformation information that just harms me because I got something wrong. Um I feel like it's better to leave that up so that you know we can all know um instead of trying to hide things like that. Um so for example, I like had some pretty critical tweets at Charlie over the last month or two that ultimately like uh it would feel weird to try to delete those things because you know you make your choices and you got to live with them and uh if you don't like your choices, learn from them. So, I don't know. I just am praying for our country. I hope that we don't [ __ ] go to civil war. Um because that'd be super dark. Um yeah, I don't know. And I hope that I really hope pray for uh Tucker and Megan Kelly and Candace Owens's safety because it would be really bad if this happened to another pundit or journalist or influencer because the chilling effect would be very real. like I'm sure that everyone in the industry had the thought over the last several days. Um because it just kind of came out of nowhere. And I mean it's not like Charlie wasn't controversial. It's not like Charlie didn't know the risks, but knowing the risks and seeing the risks like bleeding out on camera is a whole different thing. So yeah, I think in conclusion, find God, whatever that means to you. It does not need to be a Christian God um by any means, but find righteousness and truth um in whatever way is right for you and hold on to that. Drink water, eat healthy food, tell people you love them, form real relationships with real people, listen to the other side. Try to be a kind and loving person. Stay safe. Hey. Um, and I've been working on a whole different video that's very cool that I'm very excited about, very proud of that's going on my channel shortly, but it's just not the time to put it out right now. So, we're going to let this story roll a little bit, try to figure out what the truth is for at least another day or two. Um, and then I'll probably have that stuff for you guys probably Monday, maybe Sunday. We'll see. Y'all have a great night. Love you all. Thanks for tuning in.
