Yeah, I got some >> Are you here for this personal stuff? >> Oh, is it? >> I'm just backpack. >> It's all right here. >> So, this is your >> I got some I got a router in the backpack. >> Well, you do live streams. >> Yeah, I'm streaming right now. >> That's the camera. >> That's the camera.

Look how look how tiny that is. >> Wow. >> It's my own uh >> DIY streaming setup. >> Those professional ones cost like five grand. >> Yeah. >> I remember what that is. >> I've seen I've seen small ones, but I haven't seen them. >> This is the mic right here. >> This This is the receiver for this. >> Yeah, it's a transmitter. >> Really? Can you put that up next to that just so I can >> make that took a picture? >> That's really tiny. But where's your wind screen? >> Yeah, that's what >> it's in my backpack. I got to get it out. >> So that's your monitor and this you all. Is this your recorder or is the is the SD in there or SD in here? >> Uh I can record to this the SD in this and stream at the same time. Recording to everything. >> Wow. >> So that way if I have multiple cameras, you don't miss any angle, you know. >> Who makes that camera? >> Uh it's Logitech. I have a a bigger one at home I don't like to bring out here. >> It's a pretty wide angle >> that has a micro four/ third lens. >> Oh, it does. It's that big. >> Yeah, it's like a cube like this big and it has a micro four thirds and >> battery. I've heard that company, but they're mostly uh surveillance cameras. >> Mostly like keyboards and mouses. I think they bought these guys Evo camera. >> So it's a it's a bigger version of that with micro four third lenses. >> Yes. Yeah. I love that one. I didn't want to bring >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You do interviews. Is that >> Yeah, exactly. >> Are they mostly? >> Well, they're carrying the Palestine. They're anti everything. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Hey, thanks, man. There we go. Now I can control >> you. >> There you go. If you wanted to know about my setup, that guy uh asked all the right questions. >> What's going on, man? [Music] So, hey, why don't you guys like Charlie Kirk? >> Uh, I think that he's >> I don't like his views on genocide and how he's like dying in America. >> I don't approve that he's condoning someone who's pushing the US to become more authoritarian and is violating the Constitution every which way. He confused a dolphin fetus with a human fetus. >> Charlie Kirk did. >> Yeah, >> he did. >> Say that again. >> He confused a dolphin fetus with a human fetus. >> Yeah. On like a >> When was this? >> It was during his >> He was asked, "Is this He was asked, "Is this a baby?" and showed a picture of a dolphin fetus. And he said, "Without a doubt." >> And the guy got him. >> Kurt, >> when do you think life begins? >> No idea. >> I don't know. And for that reason, I think we should force people to do decision. the choice to make the choice. >> Gotcha. >> What about you? >> Uh I agree with both of what they have said and I think that believing that life believes believing that life starts at conception is uh I mean can you can you look at that and define that that is a life? I feel like you could say that then life starts before when it's conceived in your head. Like is life >> I don't know you can you can vary the definition and I'm this is why I'm not debating him. How far are you willing to push the line? Right. >> Yeah. >> I I'm not like I don't want other people. >> What if we said like when uh when vocal cords were developed in the in the fetus that if it was old enough that if it were taken out of the womb, it'd be screaming. Would that be when life has begun? >> I mean, I would say like I I can't physically like like conceive like a a child in my own body. So, I'm not going to like like put pressure on other people. um they can like have their own opinions and I'm not gonna force >> I mean just for like biology reasons for like we're at UV UVU here. >> So like when would you consider that life begins? >> Um I mean we could argue semantics all day. >> I was just curious what your opinion >> Yeah. We could say what do you say a genocide >> disagree with Charlie. So I was wondering what your what your side was. >> My opinion is people should just have the freedom to do their own thing especially when we don't have a defined thing. Because if you make rules without a thing that is defined, then that's when you get into issues because you're controlling people's choices based on something that we're not 100% sure on. That's the whole point we're trying to make. >> Fair enough. >> Can you hold up your signs, guys? >> Yes, sir. >> Don't legalize racism. What's that one mean? Um it's uh based on the recent Supreme Court decision to um allow people to uh be deported purely based on uh skin color or even like a slight suspicion based on like speaking Spanish. >> The Supreme Court said they could deport people based off their skin color. >> Supreme Court said that they are >> This is grounds for like >> deta Yeah, it's reasonable suspicion which means they can be detained. >> What was grounds for it? Color of the skin. >> Color of the skin. speaking Spanish or speaking with the accent. >> I I haven't heard this, so I'll have to look that up. >> This was like It was literally two days ago. This is just two days ago. >> Okay. What's your sign say? >> My sign says free Palestine, love one another. >> Uh free Palestine. There's a genocide. >> What's that what's that referencing to love one another? >> The love one another is referencing the Bible. It's referencing Jesus's teachings. I like I'm a Christian. I don't know much about Christianity. I've struggled with it a lot, but recently I I feel like there's been not enough love in the world. I feel like there's been so much hate even here. All of these people out there, I might disagree with most of them, but I still love them for who they are. And I respect a lot of the opinions they have. That's what that's representing. >> And it it's like love one another isn't just a Christian concept. That's a human concept. We should like be accepting and we should love other people. >> I'm very atheist. I believe in that whole I'm very atheist. I believe in that wholeheartedly. Okay. >> Society doesn't work without us loving each other and getting along. Otherwise, there's just disputes and conflicts and it gets ugly. >> Okay. I see you got the rainbow pin on there. >> Yep. >> What's that mean? >> Gay pride. >> Gay pride. >> I support LGBTQ plus. >> Okay. Would you guys go support gay pride in Palestine? >> So, yes. In Palestine, a lot of people >> would that be something you guys would be willing to do in person? >> I feel like no, I'd get bombed. I'd get killed. I don't I don't live in Palestine also. So, >> I do it here because I live here, you know. >> Okay. All right. >> A lot of people bring up the argument that in Palestine it's not legal to be gay. It is not legal. Like people love to >> Yeah, I've heard that a lot. >> Yeah, I've heard that a lot, too. And my I I just believe that they still should not be mass murdered. Their children shouldn't be killed at the age of zero. >> We also don't condone Hamas either. We don't think that's all right. >> We're not Yeah, we're not supporting terror. >> Say that. Say that one more time real quick. >> We also don't condone Hamas. We think the genocide's wrong on both sides. We're just saying that >> we're not advocating is the one that's being we're pro-Jewish people and pro Palestinian people. >> You think people should live people have a right to live. >> And that that's kind of back to like the love one another thing. It's like love everyone. >> Love everyone regardless regardless of race. >> Well, thanks guys. Appreciate you guys coming out here. >> We appreciate you. Love you. >> You going to go down and see the get closer? Are they like restricting you guys up here or what? >> No, it's too crowded. >> It's just there's just so much so much.

I was >> telling me what happened. So, I was at first I started off maybe 30 seconds before the shot, walking up the stairs all the way to the side of the bridge underpass area because I was looking for the line to ask him a question. It came to our attention that the line was on the other side. So, I went around and ended just by the structure thing. And that's when we heard the gunshot. Wow. >> Do you know where she is? She's in the Sorenson Center. Sorenson Center. Stay with me. >> Somebody got a picture of the guy that got arrested. >> Is that the guy they they cuffed? >> Apparently, I don't know. So, I was up there on the balcony. >> Saw a guy down there. They cuffed and called off. >> There was a guy down here getting video. There was people up there videoing down that that definitely must have got a a you know a wide out angle. >> Did you hear that he got hit for sure? >> Uh my son here told me >> he's been hit in the neck or the chest. >> Yeah, >> I've heard mostly the neck, but I've heard chest a couple times. >> One of the I talked to one of the officers.

Um, I heard a shot which took my attention away from Charlie. And when I looked back at him after I after the echoes, um, there was there was blood protruding from his neck or his head about six inches or more. Um, literally gushing out >> his neck. >> Neck or head. I'm not quite sure cuz his head was tilted back. I don't think he's going to survive this shot if you want my opinion. Unbelievable. >> I think he got hit in a very vital spot. >> It seemed like it was up close shooter or at long range. Any idea? >> I don't know. It sounded like a higher higher caliber. It sounded like a higher caliber, like a 9 mm. It didn't sound like a 45 or anything, but I don't know. It didn't sound that deep to me. >> It almost sounded like a cherry bomb. >> Um. >> Unbelievable. >> A gunshot. >> Wow. >> Wow. I'm in shock. >> I am too. I am too. I can't believe it happened in Utah of all places. >> Larry has so much support. But obviously the opposition was here >> and now we're looking at a murder scene possibly for obviously a crime scene, but I don't think that Charlie can survive this unless the EMTs were close.
