Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so today somebody who clearly did not like
Charlie Kirk. An assassin now is a perfect label for
this person who took his life. And from what I understand,
his wife and his kids were there. Don't know if
they were standing right there witnessing everything. From what I understand,
(00:21):
they were there on site. And again, this is just
some of the stuff that's being sent to me or
what have you. That was one of the things that
somebody had sent me. And also I guess part of
the backstory is the fact that he was in critical
(00:42):
condition and in the hospital was something that was being reported,
and they were trying to get his wife to be
able to get to him where he was. It's hard
to imagine that she wasn't right there with them, not
necessarily in the squad or however, he was transported to whatever,
(01:04):
you know, facility, medical facility at that point. But this
is some of the you know, this, some of the
side things that are that are coming in right now.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But Charlie Kirk was assassinated today. That's there's no way
I can understand that.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Inconvenience, in the name of decency, they didn't want to
call it until she was there to be with him. Yeah,
that was that was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely, I absolutely agree with that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You know, I contemplated. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I mean, there are plenty of people that know who
he is, know of him, all of the things that
he is associated with, connected to He's a patriot, there's
no question. And the fact that he's thirty one. He
was thirty one years old and he was just married
(01:59):
in twenty nine eighteen you were looking at earlier, Chuck.
His two children, most recently is youngest, born in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
He leaves behind these two children and a beautiful wife,
beautiful kids, and this person took it away. And they
do not have anybody in custody right now. I'm sure
they have a bunch of leads. But they're saying that
he was on the assassin, the shooter or whatever, was
on a building.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
What are they showing here? Are they they it's.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Somebody the assassin is still on the loose, is being reported.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I want to know why the University police then took
it upon themselves to go to social media and say
they had him in custody. What that's not a cross wire,
that's just wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Did they call him a suspect that was in custody
or did they say he was the shooter custody? I
can't remember. I believe they had somebody they thought might
have been the shooter, and then you know how reports
fly around, but it turns out that that person wasn't,
so so that would be mixed messaging on accident.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So yeah, two things with that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
We saw a photo of somebody they were claiming was
the guy, and it was the older guy that was
on the ground, correct, and they were.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Taking him into custody.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You indicated that, I think you was reading like his pants,
like the guy's pants were down and they were like
taking him into custody. And also TMZ was reporting he
was deaf, So I wonder if they they were reporting
that that guy they took into custody was deaf.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't they fingers from the person that sent me
that I think they met. TMZ was reporting that Charlie
Kirk had died. Okay, he was dead, not deaf. Okay,
I think they just they mistyped. Okay, that's the only
thing that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Right, because it's like, why are they reporting? But TMZ
was not reporting that earlier.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Charlie Kirk is gone, leaves behind two young children and
a wife, and the assassin is still on the loose.
They were just showing footage, huge police presence somewhere. They
were showing live footage, and I wonder if it's, you know,
somebody that they.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I don't know why they would they would kind of
cut to.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That if there was a hopefully, boy, I hope they
gotta get this person, right, they gotta get him.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
They'll get him. They'll get him because chances are, chances
are he wants to be God, he wants fame, he
wants glory. I don't care what his name is. You'll
never hear me say it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, kind of almost like somebody who did this is
gonna want I mean, somebody, somebody that would do this
to Charlie Kirk clearly wants to be associated.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is kind of to your point.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
They want to they want to be they want to
make sure everybody knows what they were able to do.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
So, yeah, the assassin is still on the loose.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
This is frustrating because you want as much information as possible,
as quickly as possible. And I know that, and I
know that that that mindset is exactly why there's so
much garbage out there in the first place. I create
my own garbage because you hear me over your click
and click and click and going through trying to find
more and more and more. I'm the reason that these
(06:01):
these outlets put out stuff so they can be first.
They'll they'll take it back later when it's found that
they're wrong. They all want to be first because of
people sitting and clicking and wanting more as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Did you say earlier that some of the some of
the websites were saying that, you know, they were starting
their headline with, you know, gun advocate Charlie k and.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Trump supporter Charlie Kirk, gun enthusiast Charlie Cook, Second Amendment
supporter Charlie Cook, right winging media Kirk. Yeah, they just
they all had to describe him as something as opposed
to just Charlie Kirk. Well, if it matters to you
to read that story, do you need a description of
(06:53):
Charlie Kirk. You know who Charlie Kirk is was, but
everybody to put some sort of label on him in order,
I guess to you know, validate their point. Of view
as well. I think Trump ally was the one I
saw most frequently used.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You know, also, I didn't realize I showed you that picture.
I think it's the one JD. Vance tweeted out. This was,
you know, hour ago, hour and a half ago, the
one where he's standing there with him. You know, JD
is you know, a taller guy. And I didn't realize,
like Charlie is h he was a kind of a
(07:36):
big guy.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, he had to be six four sixty five. It's
pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I didn't. I didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But you know, also I have I have friends who
are in the police business and in the military that
were sending me information that said they again they're no
(08:03):
you know, they're no expert, as they put it, but
saying they believed based on they had seen the video,
but based on the video that they were watching that
they watched that they believe it was some sort of
a rifle. It was not just the force of it
just seemed like the force of if you've seen the video,
(08:27):
the force with which he was struck, you can see
they were predicting they thought it was some sort of
a rifle.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Well, especially if they're accurate about a top of a
building two hundred yards away. That's that's going to have
to be a rifle. Yeah. Yeah, his head snapped hard, and.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, I mean clearly he went unconscious instantly. You just
pray that it was something that you know, it was
just like you're there then you're not know what I mean.
You just pray that there wasn't any suffering too. And
from kind of the way I'm also processing everything too.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
There was at least that moment of pain. Remember he
reached up and grabbed the side of his head when
he got hit. Yeah, so there was at least that
moment of realization.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
He knew it was like neck below the jaw right
in that area, right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean, that's basically what.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Again, the assassin is still on the loose. They have
nobody in custody, but let's pray and hope that they
get somebody and they get the person that did this
and they'll swiftly, hopefully swiftly be brought to justice. But
that is right now, the very latest Charlie Kirk has
(09:49):
passed away.
All right, so today somebody who clearly did not like
Charlie Kirk. An assassin now is a perfect label for
this person who took his life. And from what I understand,
