Carson Carpenter described Charlie Kirk’s campus events and the aftermath: “travesty, honestly.” He recalled, “It was my friend… texted me” and, “I thought it was president Trump who got assassinated at first, but then I found out it was Charlie Kirk…,” calling it “truly heartbreaking.” He questioned security: “security was almost nonexistent” with “close to two to 4,000 people there” and a perimeter “impossible to extend out to the 200 yards of where the shooter was on the building.” He suggested the university, and possibly the Turning Point chapter, knew the space: “the university… had the most knowledge” and “the turning point chapter at that university might have known where the event space was going to be.” He notes “outside… metal detector system” would be impossible, and points to “the guy in the black shirt is always with Charlie” while a white-shirted person made signals that “looks like an indicator for the shooter to, go ahead and take the kill shot.”

Claims surrounding an incident at a Charlie Kirk event are laid out: "One, three. I saw Charlie Kirk get shot. One, two, three. I saw Charlie Kirk get shot." The speaker describes the aftermath: "He collapsed in his seat. He fell over to the side. He was carried off. He had blood on his arms. He had blood on his shirt." They allege connections: "Steve Kozak, the father of Hunter Kozak, has been working for Jimmy Kimmel for years." "What are the chances that Hunter Kozak asks Charlie Kirk a very ironic question right before Charlie Kirk's life is taken in front of a live audience of thousands of people." "Jimmy Kimmel then gets brought into this by the media simultaneously dogpiling on him and making him the scapegoat because of his monologue." "And then it turns out that one of the higher ups at Jimmy Kimmel's show is the father of the last person to speak to Charlie." Destiny-related: "Destiny's Unfuck America's tour." "If you haven't heard of Unfuck the Unfuck America tour, look who that is, was scheduled to follow Turning Point around and counter all of Turning Point's events." "Destiny is their lead creator, and he's making these comments about Charlie and people who think like Charlie." They reference: "Unfuck America's tour" and "Unfuck the Unfuck America tour" with mention of unfuckamericatour.com. "Conservatives have been disgusting for years, which is why I don't give a fuck about anybody that winds up at any these rallies and gets shot or whatever the fuck."

About an hour ago I heard reports that Andrew Colvet, TP USA spokesperson, said he talked to the coroner and that Charlie was shot from the front in the left 30 yard six; "they found the bullet, which is even more insane." The bullet "come out over 2,000 feet per second" and "go right through things." The coroner reportedly said the bullet "went in and didn't go out the back" and was "found under the skin"—"That was a BB gun or something." They say it didn't go through the neck; "That that's official. I've now read the statement, not just the press report that got it wrong." He says no evidence of Israel involvement; crazy. He will call Andrew for an update; "Follow me right here Exit Road." Memorial and funeral tomorrow. "Pray for Charlie Kirk and his family and for Erica." "Get ready for more leftist terror attacks."

The speaker discusses a wave of firings at Turning Point USA (TPUSA), claiming that 40 employees were dismissed “just like that,” with the rumor that they were let go because Erica Kirk believes some of them are moles. The speaker references a video shared by Candace Owens showing one employee being fired and explaining she had just finished two weeks of 80–90 hour work weeks around AmFest and after Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September, describing her as a stellar employee who was shocked and confused by the abrupt termination. Two central questions are raised: (1) what direction TPUSA is now going in under Erica Kirk, and (2) why certain individuals remain employed or are promoted despite controversy. The speaker highlights several individuals: - Andrew Covet: described as “a mole” who has allegedly leaked information to Candace Owens, implying he should have been fired but was not. - Mikey McCoy: portrayed as Charlie Kirk’s best friend who allegedly failed to act appropriately during Charlie Kirk’s public assassination, including footage of him being inches away from Charlie and then calmly walking away. The speaker notes that McCoy claimed Erica Kirk was the one he contacted immediately after the incident, but Candace Owens and others pressed him to show his phone logs. It later emerges that McCoy reportedly called his wife ten minutes after the incident, not Erica, according to a phone call record and Erica supporting this account; this discrepancy is presented as a point of concern. Despite the questions raised about his conduct, McCoy remains employed. - Dan Flood: head of Charlie Kirk’s security team, who was reportedly near Charlie at the time of the shooting; the speaker argues that Flood should have been fired but was instead promoted, with Erica Kirk maintaining leadership of TPUSA’s security. The speaker notes a contrast between the firings and the continued employment or promotion of these individuals, arguing that the 40 fired employees were “stellar” and the removals appear inconsistent with who remains or advances. The video and narrative emphasize that the publicized shooting of Charlie Kirk and the reactions of those closest to him have created ongoing suspicion about leadership decisions at TPUSA, particularly under Erica Kirk. Throughout, the speaker repeatedly questions: what direction TPUSA is taking under Erica Kirk, and why figures like Mikey McCoy and Dan Flood are retained or elevated while others are dismissed. The overall tone asserts that the firings reflect an unclear strategic direction and raise doubts about internal accountability. The closing statement reiterates the uncertainty about TPUSA’s future path under Erica Kirk, implying it diverges from what Charlie Kirk had envisioned.

Greg Schaefer, former FBI agent and CEO of Schaefer Security Group, said investigators are at the scene collecting evidence, including cell phones, videos and photographs from everyone present, and are scouring footage to identify a vehicle or the shooter as they left. He notes the weapon may have been left on the rooftop and that there may be DNA residue, fingerprints or shell casings, with a full court press by the FBI, Homeland Security, and local and state police to identify the shooter. John Anarelli says witnesses with video want to solve the case and that the FBI has a contact number to upload video; surveillance cameras and vehicles will be reviewed. The event drew about 3,000 people; Charlie Kirk had security, but security was not the same as protecting the site, and countersniper capabilities are extremely difficult. Charlie Kirk is a civilian; ballistic glass costs were discussed.

Andrew Colvet, TP USA spokesperson, said he talked to the coroner and he's called me with an update: Charlie was shot from the front in the left 30 yard six, and he was a man of steel, they said, and it bounced off the neck bones. I misread the report saying they didn't find a bullet. No. They said they found the bullet, which is insane. They're claiming from the coroner, via a TPOC spokesperson, that the 30 odd six bullet goes in. Didn't find the bullet. I was wrong. But high powered rifle rounds come out over 2,000 feet per second and go right through things; if it hits bone it explodes. I'll call Andrew for an update. Memorial and funeral's tomorrow.

Speaker 0 describes Skyler as having given about four different interviews online right after the Charlie Kirk assassination. She notes he is seen with glasses on top of his head, front row at the scene, and somehow sits on the Main Floor at the Charlie Kirk Memorial during the memorial service. She asks, “Who is this guy? How is this possible? And why are his interviews so odd?” She points out that on the day of the shooting Skyler was in the front row and near a bodyguard. Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 recount Skyler’s position: “Maybe 10 or 15 feet away when it happened. Close as he could.” They describe Skyler with sunglasses on his head, and a Charlie Kirk bodyguard in front of him, with Skyler off to the side in the corner when Charlie began taking questions. They note the bodyguard is directly in front of Charlie, Skyler to the side, matching Skyler’s own account of being “front row, Noel in front of him,” with a bodyguard to his left and one in front of him. They say Skyler was “front row and center.” Speaker 0 then says Skyler later appeared sitting on the Main Floor at the Charlie Kirk Memorial, with a floor pass for a press conference, literally “maybe 10 or so rows from the front of the stage.” They claim this is documented on Skyler’s Facebook page. They mention Skyler’s Facebook shows two, perhaps “two point, I think, k” followings, with from 2018 to 02/2025 only about seven posts and about 10 pictures, implying a sparse content profile for a “digital creator.” Speaker 3 describes Skyler’s earlier claim about getting into the stadium: “Just made it to the stadium. There is an unlimited amount of security, Secret service, military, police, empty. Steel barricades all around. … There’s been people waiting in line since 05:30 in the morning.” He says Skyler went past multiple security layers to obtain a media badge and a floor pass, and then ended up on the Main Floor “a few rows back to the Charlie Kirk Memorial.” The speakers question how he could gain access and yet appear to be late, then have a media pass and seating positions. Speaker 4 adds, “So, again, why go into detail acting as if you were late, you didn’t even know you were gonna get in, yet somehow you end up with a passing all these checkpoints to get a media pass around your deck, end up on the First, you know, Main Floor just a few rows back to the Charlie Kirk Memorial that day. It’s just like it’s a big act, a big show that this guy's putting on. It’s like he was handpicked to do all these interviews. He was handpicked to have front row that day because he was up, you know, farther up in the crowd before Charlie got there.” Speaker 4 closes with a segment featuring a clip of another person describing a mythic, imagery-laden interpretation: “An indecision night. I photoshopped in my mind. I photoshopped the blood away. I photoshopped Charlie, sat him back up, put his smile back on, and rewound the tape… I rewound the bullet going back up into the rifle. I stuck a flower inside the rifle.”

Andrew Kovitz says Charlie would have been blown away. Tyler Boyer shared a 2021 text: "this is my vision, and it was a picture of stadiums full of people." Turning Point was known for big events, but Charlie dreamed bigger. The harvest would be remarkable: "the world's most powerful leaders coming to Phoenix to honor him and to lift up the name of Jesus." Erica was blown away: "this is not normal. There's nothing normal about Charlie Kirk's life. There's nothing normal about Charlie Kirk's death." Kovitz describes the past eleven days as a whirlwind, planning a stadium event for "hundreds of thousands" and notes partners "tracked over 277,000 devices in the vicinity of State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona." The team pulled off what should have taken six months in six days; "an absolute testament to the leadership of Charlie Kirk..." Erica's two speeches included forgiving "the assassin of Charlie Kirk," saying what you've done is "critically important for the future of this country" and turning potential chaos into peace and unity. "You have no idea what you've just unleashed." Kovitz notes "How small of a role he has played... I'm blown away at how little I've thought of him." Thank you. God bless you.

The Megyn Kelly Show

Charlie Kirk "Curse," ABC Affiliates vs. Kimmel, and Kamala's Disastrous Book Tour, w/ Mark Halperin
Guests: Mark Halperin
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Charlie's death collided with a public culture clash as a media and political storm unfolded around a single figure. Sinclair and Nexstar, which together own a sizable share of ABC affiliates, announced they would not air Jimmy Kimmel while Disney pressed to bring him back. In a more surreal turn, Megyn Kelly highlighted a Jezebel article claiming to cast a curse on Charlie, detailing plans to hire witches on Etsy to inflame public debate. The piece described a ritual timed to the Virgo new moon and claimed initial results would arrive within two to three weeks. Jezebel published the curse in September, then removed it after the Charlie Kirk assassination, citing legal pressure, while insisting they stood by every word and contemplated republishing. The author described a spell aimed at making people hate him, silencing his microphone, and diminishing his appeal, including requests for Kirk's birth date to improve spell accuracy. The host then recounted that Kirk's wife Erica and Charlie sought spiritual protection, inviting a Catholic priest to pray with them the night before his death, saying 'weapons will form but not prosper' and emphasizing that the devil had no power. Mark Halperin joined the show to discuss the fallout, memorials, and the political potential of Charlie Kirk's movement. Erica Kirk's testimony during the memorial in Arizona was highlighted—her call for young men to lead courageously, to protect their families, and to join in true manhood and faith. The conversation explored how Kirk's death could shift recruitment to conservatism on campuses, with clips of young conservatives declaring they are now Republicans. They also debated how the left's response, including critiques of counter-protesters and media coverage, might shape the MAGA movement's future. Attention turned to Jimmy Kimmel's return and what might happen next. Predictions suggested an apology or a caveat that he should not have tied the shooter to MAGA, with pre-taped remarks likely to balance contrition with critique of political rivals. The exchange touched on a broader media landscape: NPR's portrayal of Kimmel, coverage asymmetries, and Brendan Carr's FCC stance empowering affiliates to withhold shows. The discussion framed the conflict as a battle of cultures where market choices—affiliates versus networks and streaming—will ultimately decide who 'wins' in a polarized political climate.

New details emerge moments after we wrapped, as law enforcement outlined the shooter's movements in a 9:26 a.m. Eastern press conference. The subject arrived on campus at 11:52 a.m., moved through stairwells to the roof, crossed to the shooting location, and then fled into a nearby neighborhood. Investigators tracked leads via doorbell cameras and witnesses and say they have video of the individual but will not release it at this time. They recovered what they believe is the weapon—a high-powered bolt-action rifle—found in a wooded area the shooter fled to, and they have collected footwear impressions, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis, with more than 130 tips received. Authorities noted the suspect was dressed all in black and that the CCTV footage is grainy. An older man seen in the crowd was arrested and later released; another person, a Heritage Foundation staffer, was also released after questioning. The manhunt continues; the shooter remains at large, and no public image has been released. Analysts described the attack as potentially professional, citing a single approximately 200-yard shot, and there is debate about motive, including speculation of foreign intelligence leads floated by media figures. Hosts described the incident as a political assassination unfolding during Charlie Kirk's Utah Valley University stop, noting custody changes, a released older man, and an uninvolved Heritage Foundation staffer. They contrasted official briefings, discussed maps and eyewitness accounts, and cited speculation about motive and foreign involvement.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a university campus, triggering a rapid, cross‑cut national conversation. Police identified the shooter as Tyler Roberts and, within roughly 33 hours, he was captured in Washington, Utah. Cash Patel announced that DNA found on a towel wrapped around the gun and on a screwdriver matched the suspect, and law enforcement cycled resources to the scene while investigators pursued leads, including reports that the suspect lived with a transgender roommate who may have been dating him. President Trump publicly praised the swift response, and the investigation proceeded as conservative groups and supporters prepared vigils and tributes. Kirk’s family announced a memorial service for the following Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, while supporters framed the event as a turning point for American patriotism and faith. Across the political spectrum, the aftermath stretched into debates about speech, media, and accountability. President Trump commended Cash Patel for the fast work, while Patel urged a calmer national mood and pointed to broader narratives being pushed online, including conspiracy theories about Israel and the murder being used to derail political agendas. The episode also spotlighted media culture, as participants questioned TMZ staffers who allegedly cheered during coverage; Pat and Pat’s colleagues pressed for candor and transparency from TMZ leadership. Elon Musk followed by labeling the left as the party of murder, a line that spurred further discussion about how rhetoric can influence public perception, while Chris Cuomo condemned that framing but acknowledged the complexity of online discourse. At the same time, RFK’s event coverage in the U.S. and Tommy Robinson’s London rally drew international attention, with Musk appearing on streams and stressing free speech. Conversations also circled the flood of online theories and political reactions. An Anti-Defamation League report noted more than 10,000 posts linking Kirk’s killing to Israel, while Adam stressed that while he critiques governments, he supports Israel's people. The dialogue touched on consequences of inflammatory language, with coaches, donors, and celebrities debating whether calls to punish or celebrate violence should influence employment and public roles. Erica Kirk’s public remarks after the tragedy were highlighted, and Joe Burrow’s charitable foundation reportedly removed a board member following remarks about the incident. As the panelists reflected, the moment underscored a push to lower tensions amid a polarized climate, even as some voices insisted the episode would reshape political dynamics.

The Rubin Report

Jimmy Kimmel Humiliated as NY Post Exposes His Dark Reaction to Being Canceled
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Eight days after the highest profile political murder in decades, The Rubin Report pivots to the fallout around Jimmy Kimmel and the media's response to Charlie Kirk's death. Rubin cites a Disney/Nextstar decision to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC affiliates following Kimmel's remarks about Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk, calling the remarks offensive at a critical moment in national discourse. He notes Kimmel reportedly earns about sixteen million dollars per year and points out that the affiliates’ choices are described as not in the public interest, a business decision rather than a First Amendment issue. He also references a New York Post report on Kimmel's reaction and mentions Sinclair Broadcasting's plan to air a special remembrance of Charlie Kirk during the cancelled time slot. The segment raises questions about cancel culture versus corporate prudence and whether government pressure is involved. From there, Rubin maps the broader culture war, arguing that the line between free speech and public harm is often drawn by corporate decisions rather than legal mandates. He recalls Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano as earlier cancellations, and contrasts those cases with Kimmel’s situation, stressing that the debate about ‘cancel culture’ often becomes about who wields the platform rather than whether speech should be protected. He emphasizes that the government would not criminalize speech here, but corporations can withhold employment, and he cites a Fire statement about possible government pressure. He also critiques Barack Obama’s remarks about civil rights and the “very fine people” comment, suggesting that partisan narratives distort responsibility and that the media’s “both sides” framing fuels polarization. He argues for more public voices to push back, not retreat into silences. Rubin then looks ahead to Charlie Kirk’s memorial, announcing his attendance in Glendale, Arizona, and listing speakers including Erica Kirk and Donald Trump, with the possibility of more names added. He notes logistical adjustments for safety on the road and reflects on the broader consequence of political violence, urging his audience to engage in dialogue and avoid reprisal. The conversation shifts to a lighter note as he shares updates about his dog Clyde, Halloween decorations, and his preference for relaxing media like The Godfather and The Sopranos, before inviting audience participation and a preview of next day’s guests. The segment closes with a reminder of upcoming Australia events and a pledge to honor Charlie through words and accountability rather than hatred.
