How do you want to be remembered? If I die, everything just goes away. How would you, if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered? I want to be, I want to be remembered for, for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. Most important thing is my faith in my life. As I'm sure everybody in the world knows at this point, Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a cowardly long-distance shooter.

while he was teaching, speaking rather, both for Turning Point USA, the Great American Tour, and he was at Utah Valley University. This shooter, this assassin, this terrorist, murdered him because of what he believed, because he had a voice, because he was a free thing. thinker, and because he loved open debate. Charlie Kirk was a great American that was always cordial and friendly. And I've mentioned his name many times on this show. He was a good Christian of strong faith.

And that's how I want to remember him. That's how I want everybody here all my listeners to remember. to remember Charlie Kirk. I had followed him on every social media platform that I've ever had. I couldn't open up YouTube without seeing Charlie Kirk sitting in a friendly, cordial debate. Almost always, 90% of the time, on college campuses predominantly filled with liberal kids and he did it because he believed that dialogue is the most crucial form of communication. Open debate is a vital part of who he was and communicating to young people, to young voters.

trying to teach them about godly conviction and about morals, about God, about there is a right and a wrong. Charlie believed in America first. He believed in two genders. He believed in a strong family bond with traditional roles. And there's no. nothing wrong with that unless you're a liberal. If you're a liberal and you believe that way,

they believe that you need to be purged from the earth. And there's nothing more evil, nothing more vile, nothing more Luciferian than attacking somebody because they believe in righteousness. And that was what Charlie Kirk did. That's who he was. the hatred for him that I'm seeing in social media right now that's coming from the left, it's vile and disgusting.

It's demonic in nature. Early on, Facebook posts, I've seen people with a huge following post about Charlie Kirk's assassination. and liberals were laughing. They were hitting the laughing emoji. Not long after the shooting, I believe even after he was pronounced deceased,

House Republicans wanted a moment of silence and House Democrats could be heard screaming no in the background. They wouldn't allow for it. scrolling through other social media platforms, you could hear and see videos that are being posted of the liberal left laughing and thanking the shooter and glorifying the violence that was witnessed in front of thousands of people at that university on that campus

when Charlie Kirk was shot one nurse one registered nurse who works at an Oklahoma City Oklahoma said hell I'm throwing a party and starting to go fund me

for the shooter and that was after Governor Kevin Stitt ordered all flags in Oklahoma at half staff after the death of the conservative Charlie Kirk was was shot and killed. Another post on X. Whoever shot Charlie Kirk, thank you.

On and on and on this goes. I was going to play sound bites of these evil, evil people. that they've posted publicly. But I decided not to do that because they don't deserve a voice. Nobody that glorifies the death of a husband and father of a one-year-old, a three-year-old,

deserves a voice on my platform. They're not going to get it. I want to give an update real quick, and this was not long after the shooting. I want to hear from the governor of Utah, and I think he's got some good words. and I want to play that, and then I want to play what Trump said when he came out and made his announcement. Here's Governor Spencer Nix of Utah.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us on this, on this dark and tragic occasion. I want to thank our law enforcement officers who are leading this investigation, starting with Chief Long and his response here with the UVU police department. We're grateful for your leadership and your team. And again, to the speakers that you've just heard from who are co-leading this investigation. I also want to recognize Sheriff Mike Smith, who has been an invaluable partner

as this investigation moves forward. I've been in touch with President Trump, with FBI director Cash Patel, We are completely aligned with our state and federal partners as we work through this case. Now, this is a dark day for our state. It's a tragic day for our nation. And I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination. We are celebrating 250,000.

years of the founding of this great nation, that founding document, the Declaration of Independence, that this great experiment on which we embarked together 250 years ago, that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. The first one of those is life. And today, a life was taken. Charlie Kirk was first and form. Charlie Kirk was first and four foremost, a husband and a dad to two young children. He was also very much politically involved, and that's why he was here on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate

to shape ideas and to persuade people. Historically, our university campuses in this nation here in the state of Utah have been the place where truth and ideas are formulated and debated. And that's what he does. He comes on college campuses and he debates. That is foundational to the formation of our country, to our most basic constitutional rights. And when someone takes the life of a person because of their ideas or their ideals, then that very constitutional foundation is threatened.

Now we have a person of interest in custody. The investigation is ongoing. But I want to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this, we will find you. we will try you and we will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law and I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah

our nation is broken We've had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania, and we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States and now current president of the United States. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken. Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk.

Our hearts are broken. We mourn with his wife, his children, his family, his friends. We mourn as a nation. If anyone in the sound of my voice celebrated even a little bit at the news of this shooting. I would beg you to look in the mirror and to see if you can find a better angel in there somewhere. I don't care what his politics are.

I care that he was an American. We desperately need our country. We desperately need leaders in our country, but more than the leaders, we just need every single person in this country to think about where we are and where we want to be. To ask ourselves, is this it? Is this what 250 years has wrought on us? I pray that that's not the case. I pray that those who hate us. what Charlie Cook stood for will put down their social media and their pens and pray for his family and that all of us, all of us will try to find a way to stop hating our fellow Americans. With that, we're happy to take a few questions.

I'm just going to stop it there. They take four or five questions about the shooter. And to summarize, they arrested the wrong person initially. It was an older gentleman who I thought was oddly and strangely calm and quiet for someone being falsely accused of murder. Meanwhile, the shooter, who was actually 200 yards away on top of a building laying prone in dark clothes, got away. stood up on top of the building and got away and today I received an email from epic news that the rifle was recovered in a wooded area not too far away from where the shooter was located and I'm not going to start stepping out into conspiracy on this one not yet I can't

tell you that I feel I have a good nose for shade and I smell shade. As a police officer, as a Marine Corps marksmanship instructor, I can tell you that a 200-yard shot, a deadly shot, is trained. There was a trained shooter up on that rooftop. And that old gentleman that got arrested was being strangely quiet, calm, as if he knew he had nothing to worry about. Take what you wanted that. I might build on it later, but that is what it is. And Legacy is already defending the shooter because that's what terrorists do.

That's right. I said terrorists because liberalism is terrorism now, in my opinion. It fits the definition of terrorism because we now have significant pattern of deadly violence from the left that can no longer be ignored. The last several school shooters were all liberals with gender dysphoria. or some kind of sexual perversion. I believe it was the Wisconsin shooter, the two congresspersons that were, one was killed,

one was assassination attempt on, on the life of his life, I believe. And that was perpetrated also by a left, a lefty. The assassination attempts on Donald Trump also performed by liberals. They preach themselves and put on their platforms that they're the party of tolerance. They march and parades and they hold signs calling conservatives and Republicans fascists. When in fact, while they're busy pointing one finger, there's three fingers pointed right back to them. What do you mean by that?

Well, there's only one party here, one movement. that's trying to silence free speech. There's only one movement here who doxes the opponent. There's only one movement here that kills free voices and thinkers and those who enjoy open debate. It's sad, but we've come to that point in our country where there's no lines drawn. Yeah. as far as boundaries go. Yes, a line has been crossed.

Lines have been crossed several times with these assassination attempts. Donald Trump was shot and the left immediately took to oh, he wasn't really hurt. He wasn't really shot. I mean, just bizarre. Bizarre,

outrageously bizarre narratives coming from the left. and the gall of these individuals who want to defend a stabber, the brutal stabbing of the Ukrainian girl, Erna Zerutska, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, brutally stabbed on a train by a black male in front of three or four other black passengers, and they all sat around and watched one even recorded on the phone.

Nothing was done. Nobody helped. And they want to say that guns are the problem? If a liberal doesn't have a gun, they'll have a knife. They will find a way to hurt, to kill, to stop, to silence. And if your legacy media and you're saying this wasn't racial, just stop. The man literally said, I got that. white girl. It was most certainly racist. And she was singled out because she was the only white person

on that train, at least in that car. She came here seeking freedom. She came here seeking the American dream. And she was murdered by a lunatic. Charlie Kirk was murdered by a lunatic. Now, as I promise, here's President Trump on Charlie Kirk. To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions in tonight. All who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected

by youth. Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith, and we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are with his wife, Erica, the two young, beloved children, and his entire family who he loved more than anything in the world. We ask him, God to watch over them in this terrible hour of heartache and pain. This is a dark moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever, to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense. On campuses nationwide, he championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor, and grace.

It's a long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared. wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity

and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country. From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ice agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive

in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others. Radical left political violence has political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died, the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God.

Charlie was the best of America, and the monster who attacked him was attacking our whole country. An assassin tried to silence him with a bullet, but he failed because together we will ensure that his voice, his message, and his legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, because of this heinous act, Charlie's voice has become bigger and grander than ever before, and it's not even close. May God bless his memory, may God watch over his family, and may God blessed the United States of America. Thank you.
