Video Transcript
Now the conspiracy theorists have run
out of theories and now they want to
blame MIKEY MCCOY. H HOW IN THE WORLD?
DON'T YOU find it interesting that the
same people that's claiming that
everybody's betrayed Charlie, they they
they're not invited to the cookout.
And Charlie cuz Charlie had given me
similar instructions along the years.
Said if anything ever happens to me, you
call Erica.
And he drilled that into Mikey's brain
so that when this moment of trauma
happened that he turned around and he
knew he had to do it.
>> Mikey McCoy, Charlie's chief of staff
and friend who spent the whole morning
dutifully and loyally by Charlie's side,
filming everything,
abandoned Charlie [music] in the very
instant Charlie was killed. Was Charlie
actually dead? [music] Did he need help?
Did Mikey rush to his aid or get his
phone camera out? Anything?
>> I I I I can't imagine somebody having a
gall to put Mikey out there and act as
if he abandoned Charlie. He's a
20-year-old man seeing somebody get shot
in the neck with blood gushing out.
That's his best friend. What? Like, I
don't understand why people feel the
need to do stuff [music] like this.
He definitely runs off in in probably
absolute terror. Like and subscribe to
the channel. Hit the bell so you get
notifications anytime I go live and make
a video. Make sure you still subscribe
to the channel, like this video, comment
on this video, share this video. Let's
get into this. So, there's conspiracies
that Mikey McCoy has something to do
with Charlie Kirk's death. Now, only
people think this, but I still have to
address it because people are spreading
it on the internet. And in good faith
and my loyalty to Turning Point USA and
Charlie Kirk, I I do want to make sure
that his legacy don't get marred by
idiotic individuals who spend the
majority of their time pushing
conspiracy theories. Now, conspiracy
theories are lucrative. There are two
different ways to look at this. You have
conspiracy theories being lucrative as a
reason why people push conspiracy
theories. Then you have other people who
cannot compartmentalize what they see
and compartmentalize that in reality.
Which means that they are refusing to
believe that a nut job who is infused
with hatred against Charlie Kirk and
against conservatives who was dating a
transgender and decided he was going to
take Charlie's life because of those
things. They cannot put that in
perspective. So they rather believe a
conspiracy than to believe what's in
there right in front of their faces. So
we're gonna we it's a couple clips. The
first is the guy Ian Carol which if
you're unlucky
to uh follow this guy which I have no
idea why how he's even relevant because
he's a complete anti-semite.
He made a whole statement about the
suspicion of Mikey McCoy, which is Rob
McCoy, Pastor Rob McCoy's son. Now,
context real quick before we start this
is that I know Rob McCoy. I've been
around him. I spoke at his church
before. I've been to events with Rob
McCoy. I've been at dinner with Rob
McCoy. I mean, you name it. I have had
exposure to Rob McCoy on multiple
occasions. And therefore, I can in part
vouch for his behavior and vouch for his
intent to a certain degree. Somebody
like Ian Carroll has never met Rob McCoy
a day in his life, but he's going to
attract a certain character trait to Rob
McCoy without knowing anything about
him. But I want to play this clip
because there are some things that I
need to address that could be suspicious
and there are some things that are
flatout stu just blatant stupidity.
Wrote a clip. Didn't we just watch Rob
say
Justin's the chief CFO, chief financial
officer, and Mikey's the chief of staff.
And and I'm watching that the minute
Charlie was shot, he called me, says,
"Dad, Charlie's been shot in the neck.
Please call every pastor and pray." The
minute that Charlie was shot, Mikey
called me and said, "Dad, Charlie's been
shot in the neck." So, was he on the
phone with you?
because that seems pretty quick.
And it's hard to say he even saw that it
was a shot in the neck because he was
behind him. But right like [snorts] and
he turned around within a second.
But then he also says this, "Okay, son.
He has wits about him. He's just
directing
>> directing from
not the scene. directing from leaving.
I mean, he sure seemed to have his wits
about him. That is true.
>> He had blood all over him. And
>> he had blood all over him. Whoa, bro.
Blood all over him. Okay, pause it. Now,
I went back and watched the full sermon
that Pastor McCory did. And
in my personal opinion, it seems that
Pastor McCoy either misspoke or he
embellished because I watched the
footage that Ian Carol put out there and
I can see clearly that it doesn't does
not appear at this moment of the footage
that we have that we're looking at that
he had blood on him and that he was
composed whatsoever. So his daddy
embellishing is probably the most
egregious thing that you can find in
this video. Everything else is nor here
nor there because Rob McCoy goes on in
his sermon to mention that Frank Turk
had blood all over him. And so I don't
know if he spoke too fast, he misspoke,
he was speaking of rock uh um Frank Turk
instead of his son or he was just
embellishing about his son, which is the
reason why you don't embellish because
one day a video clip is going to come
out and somebody like this idiot is
going to try to point out something
without showing the entire context. Um,
and and and let's get to the rest of
what he said and then we can I can
explain the rest. Roll it.
>> I mean, I see a white ass shirt and we
watched him walk away.
I don't see any blood all over anyone.
And I'm pretty sure that the only
opportunity to get blood all over him
was just loaded into the car while he
was walking away on the phone.
Okay. So, what he's trying to allude to
is that somehow Mikey had something to
do with this, right? If you listen to
some of the naysayers, they're saying
Mikey's behavior was suspicious. He
didn't see Charlie get shot in the neck,
which this next clip that we pull up um
will show you exactly where he's
standing at. Now, you have to be smoking
with a little bit of meth meth sprinkled
in it. If you somehow think that that
him standing where he's standing, he
don't see Charlie Kirk get shot in his
neck. So, if you want to participate,
get you one of these shirts or one of
these merch items and your purchase will
go towards the Kirk family. A lot of
people say, "Well, they already rich."
I'm pretty sure Charlie Kirk was a
multi-millionaire. But one thing that
you guys don't realize is that once you
are done with your life and you can't
bring in income anymore, that is a
that's detrimental to a person's family.
Charlie Kirk had a show that was
tremendously successful. It's a it's a
doggy dog world. They're not going to
keep his show going. They're going to
cut his show after probably another week
or so and they're going to put somebody
else in that spot. You're talking
millions of dollars coming into his
family that's no longer there.
Unrealized gains. Charlie Kirk probably
would have wrote 40 more books. Charlie
Kirk should have lived another 50 years
and his children and his wife are not
going to have that unrealized gain from
Charlie Kirk's legacy moving forward.
So, this is a contributing um option for
us that love him, that really love him
and that care about his family. This is
a way that you can do it. Go to
tatstore.com.
tatamstore.com.
Now, you have to be smoking with a
little bit of meth meth sprinkled in it.
If you somehow think that that him
standing where he's standing, he don't
see Charlie Kirk get shot in his neck.
Everybody in in the world saw that video
and you can see the injury in Charlie
Kirk and literally blood gushing out of
his neck. and anybody in the in the
vicinity of Charlie, whether you behind
him, to the side, in the front, or on
the left side, you can see what
happened. Now, let's watch
um Mikey real quick, and we obviously
we're going to blur out Charlie getting
shot, but let's let's watch Mikey real
quick, and then we're going to go from
there, wrote a clip. And and you can
read the text on the on the TV to see
what they're trying to say that he was
doing while this was happening. Wrote a
clip.
>> [cheering]
[cheering]
>> I still can't be in [cheering] Charlotte
again. It's crazy, man.
[cheering]
literally his best friend. Probably
Mikey was probably his best friend.
They're they're accusing of having
something to do with his death.
And all these guys are getting footage
because they love Charlie. And Charlie
likes to get all the coverage that he
can because these things go viral.
At this point, there's nothing
suspicious about what Mikey McCoy is
doing except being Charlie's best
friend.
Now he's standing off to the side, which
you can see. And you tell me he couldn't
see what happened to Charlie.
Okay.
We blurred it, didn't we?
Yeah, Mikey goes and he turns around and
he's just standing back there with all
the other guys.
See you.
My whole thing is that why is this
somehow suspicious? Like why why do
people want to just make up random stuff
and add suspicion to things they don't
need to add suspicion to?
They're just trying to find somebody. If
you look at it long enough, you'll see
somebody do something before he gets
shot. And they Oh, look at her. Did she
scratch her nose?
He's looking right at Charlie.
None of this is suspicious. Then he gets
shot.
Mikey's there.
He sees it.
He's w He sees it happen right there.
The team comes together. That's Frank
Turk on the left that they claim was
doing hand signals. Mike is back there.
They they try to say that Mikey's on the
phone. You can't tell what Mike is doing
there. He's probably holding his head
thinking I just saw my best friend get
shot in the neck.
But but the Hold on, time out. The
conspiracy theorists are saying that
he's on his phone.
Unless this mofo have speed dial,
you telling me Mikey see Charlie gets
shot, he plugs his ears like this, he
walks away and somehow he on the phone.
They they show no evidence him dialing
numbers or nothing. All of a sudden, he
go from this to on his phone. Mikey
wasn't on his phone instantaneously when
Charlie got shot. Mikey probably's on
his phone way back there. They see him
all the way back in the parking lot.
He's probably on his phone way back
there. Now, when his dad said that he
called me afterwards, only Only people
that are silly,
take it literally. He called me right
when Charlie got shot. He called me. He
was saying generally speaking, he called
me after Charlie got shot. Right after
Charlie. That could be between the time
he got shot the time he gets to the
hospital. That's still considered right
after he got shot.
But somehow it's a conspiracy that Mikey
got something to do with it. And it says
as Charlie is rushed into the SUV, Mikey
can be seen in the distance just walking
away. Ju
How did Mikey, not unless he is a ghost
and he can teleport. If Charlie gets
shot and Mikey's way over there, how did
he get over there just walking?
Not unless he's speed walking.
He way over there at the end of the
parking lot just walk he just walk he
just he's just walking away because he's
just happiest his friend got shot in the
neck and he he's not affected whatsoever
y'all. He just he's 20ome year old kid.
Literally followed Charlie. Everywhere
Charlie went for I don't know five five
years or so. Everywhere Charlie was
there was Mikey. Every time I saw
Charlie there was Mikey. every wedding a
I mean when they had the wedding their
pre-wedding
every event sass
afy
and he is somehow in on the death of his
best friend roll it [snorts]
he's distraught y'all he's distraught
probably he's probably losing his Fine.
Yeah, they say he's walking.
The gape on his legs look like he's
moving pretty quickly.
Mikey McCoy, Charlie's chief of staff
and friend, who spent the whole morning
dutifully and loyally by Charlie's side,
filming everything,
abandoned Charlie in the very instant
Charlie was killed.
>> Was Charlie actually dead? Did he need
help? Did Mikey rush to his aid or get
his phone camera out? Anything? No.
Nothing. All of a sudden, Mikey McCoy
didn't care about Charlie Kirk at all
and just left him behind. What is going
on?
>> I hope that these people die and burn in
hell for doing this stuff. I I I I can't
imagine somebody having a gall to put
Mikey out there and act as if he
abandoned Charlie. He's a 20 year old
man seeing somebody get shot in the neck
with blood gushing out. That's his best
friend.
What? Like I don't understand why people
feel the need to do stuff like this.
He definitely runs off in probably
absolute terror. And Charlie because
Charlie had given me similar
instructions along the years said if
anything ever happens to me you call
Erica that is and he drilled that into
Mikey's brain so that when this moment
of trauma happened that he turned around
and he knew he had to do it and I see
Mikey there and I'll never truthfully I
will never forget what I saw because
I've seen Mikey almost every day for the
past two years. Uh I know his
personality very well. He's a very
bubbly guy. He's a very happy guy almost
all of the time. And I'll never forget
what I saw because
it was clear in the moment that he was
profoundly freaked out. What I'll always
remember is the way his his lip was
quivering, which I'd never seen before.
And you you very rarely see from someone
that he was freaking out. And then I
think he literally said to me, I I might
be imagining this, but I think what he
literally said was he and then he was
looking around and then he says, "I I
need to call Erica." And he then he
takes his phone and he begins calling
Erica and I don't want to disclose how
that call unfolded but he did that this
you know your mind extends all of this
but that is happening within a minute of
all of this occurring. I remember he
calls Erica
>> I around the same time I pull out my
phone and I call my mom just to say mom
there's been a shooting. You're going to
see it on the news. I'm okay. You know
pray for me. I've got to go. And I
remember that call and around the time I
I put that phone away and then he
immediately calls his dad. He calls
Robin McCoy and he says, "Dad, someone's
shot Charlie. You need to call all of
your pastor friends. Charlie was hit. We
need everyone to pray right now." And
that's what he told him. And I guess it
just it's very disgusting for me as
someone who witnessed this who saw Mikey
hugely distressed and then step up in
the moment because after that was call
that call was over I saw Mikey like get
total mastery of himself that he
realized he had to step up in this
situation
>> and he from that point he was like he
was like a general directing a battle
where he was you know grabbing people
and saying okay we need to get to the
hospital and we need to do these things
and you guys need to Wait here. I need
to get in here to get information so
that I can get it to get it to Erica.
And when we when we learned he was dead,
it was he came out and he told us and
then he says and he says, "Now, none of
you can say anything that you've heard
because it is Erica is not going to hear
about this from anyone except me."
>> The most traumatic thing you could
imagine had just happened to him.
My brain fried. I cannot imagine what
was going through your guys' head being
on the scene and seeing it and knowing
again the security guys are jumping in.
He turns and he like I'm telling you
Mikey that day turned into a general on
a field marshalling the troops going I
but like for a second there obviously he
didn't know what to do and then he
clicked into gear eventually. It was
amazing. Mikey was a heroic figure on
that day and I just I really want anyone
who finds like these narratives
attacking him to be remotely credible to
really really stop and think about what
you are doing because what you are doing
is bad and it is gross and it is a
choice and it's a choice you shouldn't
make.
>> Clearly he was speaking at the funeral.
Clearly Mikey is is still there
everywhere. Charlie Mike is still there.
He tweet about him every day
and and and and people don't have room
to have enough common sense to say the
boy is distraught. That's why he's out
in the parking lot holding his head in
in total disbelief. You somehow think
he's supposed to be have some tactical
inclination to go, I'm going to start
doing quick clock and helping Charlie
out. He probably could not believe what
he saw. He probably was in shock. How do
you know he probably was in shock? I
have seen people get killed multiple
times and people around them that do not
have tactical experience or have never
seen anything like that. They are
distraught.
They're not functioning.
They cannot talk to you after witnessing
a murder or witnessing somebody die.
It's not the movies where somebody gets
killed and the person is like, "Yeah,
that was very strange that I saw this
coming." When you see something like
that, if you've never been exposed to
stuff like that before, you are haunted
for the rest of your life. And somehow
people are putting Mikey out there. So
everybody that share that, you a piece
of crap acting like this is really
questions being asked. These people are
not asking questions. They're making
assumptions with no evidence to back it
up. They are they couldn't find anything
else to say. And now all of a sudden
after a month or so of Charlie being
dead, they want to look through the film
and find somebody that they can try to
be build a conspiracy on so they can get
more clicks. There's no reason
whatsoever to think that somehow
anything that Mike McCoy did or Mikey
McCoy did was somehow nefarious against
Charlie Kirk.
It's it's insane to me. And I see people
in some people in the comment section
going like Ian Curl is on to something.
You wait till the trial happens.
Wait till the trial happen. I'm gonna
I'm gonna act out of character for a
little bit. I'm going to say a couple
cuss words. I'mma stick the middle
finger up at people and I'm going to do
everything just for a little bit. Is
that okay? I'm lying. I ain't going to
do that. But I [clears throat] want to
do it. I want to just say, "Lord,
forgive me in advance. I'm going to I'm
going to cuss people out and and and
shame them to no end. When the trial
comes out and the evidence is presented
and you guys had just been mocking
and shaming
and creating an environment where people
are getting death threats, you're
putting Erica Kirk, Charlie's wife, in a
peculiar position because now people
think she got something to do with it.
She cannot mourn his death. Let let me
put something out there to you guys and
I'm gonna go to the next story.
Your favorite people that claim
to be Charlie's number one fans,
what did they say about Charlie
receiving the freedom award, the Medal
of Freedom? What did they say? Go look
at their Twitter. Go look at their ex
account.
Did they even mention it?
Go go go go go go look go look on your
favorite people's stuff and see that
they say happy birthday to Charlie Kirk
won't mention that he got the Medal of
Freedom.
I can do the whole live stream about
this stuff.
Somebody said this. Somebody said
unfollow you. Go unf Oh. Oh my god.
I'mma miss you.
Now I'm 3 million, 3.7 million and one
missing. You stupid idiot. And then also
another person go, well Erica is not
telling Candace to stop.
Does she have to?
Does she have to mention? Does she have
to go out her way to say something to
people online? Do she have to? Just use
your common sense.
When somebody says that turning
everybody betrayed Charlie, that's
including Erica Kirk.
When somebody say everybody turned on
Char, that means Turning Point USA is
implicit. Everybody there. Everybody.
Do you think that in your mind you think
Erica say, "Yeah, that's right. I did
betray him." Put that out on the
internet. I betrayed him. And everybody
that was speaking at his funeral,
everybody that was at his actual
funeral, everybody, the the man who did
the eulogy for Charlie Kirk, they all in
on it.
But people that not that's not even
associated in Charlie Kirk's inner
circle is somehow the ones that are
freedom fighters.
Put your thinking cap on. And I want you
to unfollow me if you that silly.
Y'all y'all are being played.
You guys are being played that are
believing this stuff. Do you not see it?
Do you not seeing that you're a useful
idiot in this situation? They just
making money off you. They don't even
believe the stuff they saying.
Some of them are just saying it cuz they
get clicks and money.
And you think it's a deep dive and these
people really care. They don't really
care. How many people really got a text
message they could show you from Charlie
Kirk from a week ago?
Two weeks ago. I mean, you know, from
before his death,
two weeks before his death, a week
before his death,
they ain't got the vid. They they don't
have the text messages.
They can show you communication or a
picture or something from years ago.
Didn't even go. Were they at his
funeral?
Okay,
I'm just I'm just throwing that out
there just in case y'all want to be
informed and not be a complete fool. You
guys are getting tricked, man.
They're tricking you about Israel.
They're tricking you guys about about
this Charlie Kirk thing. You just wait
till the smoke settle and you will be
able to see very clearly who are the
people that really care and that are
doing things in good faith with due
diligence and the people that have been
tricking you into liking and sharing
their content so they can go viral. Go
look at their social media and look at
the biggest most popular videos that
they've ever done is conspiracies on
Charlie Kirk's life.
Why are they not supporting Charlie
Kirk's family? Why are they not raising
money for Turning Point USA? Why are
they not actively participating in
things that Charlie believed in? All
they're doing is doing it. Me.
It's me, me, me.
