carley shimkus
Politicians and members of the Trump administration honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk at a vigil in Washington DC last night.
And Vice President JD Vance has a very special way of his own to remember his friend.
todd piro
And it's not just the political world paying their respects with several NFL teams paying tribute to the conservative icon.
unidentified
Charlie!
Charlie Charlie!
Charlie!
Charlie!
carley shimkus
And the suspected assassin will be formally charged tomorrow as he refuses to cooperate with investigators.
A criminal defense attorney will tell us what punishment could be coming if he is convicted.
You are watching Fox and Friends First on a Monday morning.
I'm Carly Shimpkin.
todd piro
And I am Todd Pyro.
We begin with Madeline Rivera in Washington with the tribute for Charlie Kirk in our nation's capital last night.
Maddie.
madeleine rivera
Good morning, Carly and Todd.
Charlie Kirk supporters gathered at the Kennedy Center to honor his memory.
This was a public vigil and thousands of people attended.
There were several Republican members of Congress and Trump administration officials.
Some of them included White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
They say the best way to pay tribute to Kirk is by continuing the work he started.
karoline leavitt
Charlie fundamentally believes in the potential and the promise of so many in this room, young, patriotic Americans.
robert f kennedy-jr
You can all think of something extraordinary.
It is love of family, his love of God.
tulsi gabbard
His impact here and around the world is profound, and it is a beautiful thing to see.
mike johnson
It's as if a dark shadow was cast over our country and certainly here, even on Capitol Hill.
In spite of that, we remember that our dear friend Charlie would never want us to be overcome by despair.
madeleine rivera
A memorial service for Kirk is set for September 21st at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
President Trump says he does plan on attending.
erika kirk
The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done.
They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
They should all know this.
If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea.
You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.
In this world, you have no idea.
So I want to tell you that we'll never surrender.
We never will.
unidentified
Ever.
benny johnson
That is without question my favorite cold, Jerry, that you have ever made.
Welcome back to the program.
Today is Monday, September 15th, 2025.
Trump has announced major investigations into left-wing groups.
I have breaking news for you on these groups, who they are, what they've done, to our friend Charlie Kirk.
unidentified
work.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not fighting the principalities of this earth.
We are fighting evil.
We are fighting darkness.
We are the light, and we will win.
Two men have been arrested for planting a bomb underneath a Fox News van that was trying to report on Charlie Kirk's death, so the left continues in its terroristic rampages throughout the nation.
Cash Patel and Dan Bongino have just confirmed live seconds ago more information about the plot and the co-conspirators who were targeting Charlie.
Yes, there was foreknowledge.
Yes, there are individuals who knew this was going to happen.
Yes, those individuals belong to protected classes of the left.
And yes, this was a left-wing terrorist plot.
It's time to call it what it is.
We are not going to pull punches on this program, ladies and gentlemen.
And we'll be joined by some people who know Charlie, the very best, and also some people on this program who are going to be able to speak to what happens next.
What happens next will take resolve?
It will take purpose.
It will take clarity of vision.
And for that, we were going to look to the scriptures today.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to begin with something that caused me.
Great peace this weekend as I read through how we as Christians are going to go about avenging Charlie, ensuring that this never happens again, and remembering Charlie for what he wished for us to do, which is to advance the kingdom of God on this earth.
There's a responsibility for us as Christians and as believers.
And by the way, did you go to church for the first time this weekend in a long time?
My entire feed is filled with individuals saying that they bent their knee to God for the first time in years, and maybe ever.
Agnostics saying that they are returning to the faith.
Satanists and unbelievers saying that they have been brought low to belief, and people who have fallen away saying that they are returning to the faith in what must only be described as a second revival in our nation.
And it's been powerful.
And there's going to be a lot of calls for a lot of different things.
And I want to jump to the scriptures quickly here for something again that caused and delivered for me.
Great peace about how the Apostle Paul wishes for us to view evil and our responsibilities to fight evil on this earth.
Because we were only talking about that today on the show.
And so before we talk about the revival nature of what's happening, before we talk about Charlie Kirk's vision and memory and legacy that he wanted for his own life, and putting that in stark relief as to how the hand of God is now just beginning its wonders and the description of Charlie's life.
I want to jump here.
Because I know there's a lot of mixed emotions right now about what to do next.
Let us talk about the terror of good men.
unidentified
Let us talk about the terror of good men.
benny johnson
Let us turn to the scriptures to talk about the indifference of good men.
unidentified
What is the sword that we wield?
benny johnson
From Romans 13, let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, so that there is no authority except that which God has established.
What does this verse say?
This verse says that the ruling authorities in this nation, it is a Republican-controlled Senate and House and a very strong Republican president.
Surrounded and staffed by some very strong individuals, Stephen Miller, J.D. Vance, who will be hosting Charlie's show today.
It'd be shocking.
We will be off the air so that we can all watch that together.
I encourage you again.
Go to Charlie's channel at noon today, Eastern Standard Time, to watch JD Vance fill in for Charlie Kirk.
I think it is going to be a remarkable thing to see.
God has put an established rulers in our nation.
That rulers, Donald Trump.
Flanked by Cash Patel, Dan Bon Gino, Stephen Miller, Pete Heggseth, the Secretary of War, and a number of other very impressive individuals who have their hearts set like flint now to do what?
Let us keep reading.
So God has established our ruling order in this nation.
That is President Trump.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Consequently, those who rebel against that authority, those who cut down and seek to murder.
Charlie, who was an agent of peace, we sent you an agent of peace and you killed him.
Do you understand what you've done?
Charlie was the emissary of good-spirited, kindly, Christian, open air, argument, and warmth, and peace.
And you cut him down.
In your hatred, you hated that man because he simply said things that you disagreed with.
You orphaned his children, you widowed his wife because you had a political disagreement with him.
You stole from this nation and our movement, our single greatest generational talent.
You stole from this nation a future president.
You evil demons.
Because you didn't like what he said.
Charlie Cook didn't bring guns to campus.
Charlie Kirk wasn't killed because of the second amendment.
Charlie Kirk was killed because he was practicing the First Amendment.
That's how far gone these demons are.
And I will begin and never end by calling them what they are because we really aren't fighting left and right anymore.
We're not fighting black and white or gay or straight.
We're not fighting any of the facades that they try and put up.
We're actually fighting the principalities of darkness and evil.
It has gone full-scale thermonuclear spiritual war, is what has been visited upon our nation.
So let us return to the scriptures and describe how does God wish for us to avenge when there is evil in this world.
Let's read.
Consequently, whoever rebels against the ruling authority of which God has established is rebelling against God, rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers do not hold.
Let me repeat.
Rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
Do you want to be free from the fear of authority?
Then do what is right, and you will be commended.
For the one in authority is God's servant for your good.
But do what is wrong and be afraid.
The rulers do not bear the sword in vain.
They are God's servants, agents of wrath, to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer.
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, and not only because of the possible punishment, but as a matter of conscience, as God has established the authorities.
The authorities do not bear the sword in vain.
The wrath of good men, servants of God, who God has put in authority.
So this is a verse that I will be returning to with regularity as we learn more about the co-conspirators in Charlie's murder.
As we learn that this was a plot, this has just been revealed Seconds ago by Cash and Dan.
This was something that had foreknowledge inside of certain select communities of leftists.
This was something that was agitated by certain groups.
And those groups and ideologies that not only mercilessly caused this destruction, but then celebrated it, must be destroyed.
Those ideologies must be destroyed.
They must be marked as terrorist groups.
And the full and total enforcement of our federal government, the sword, the indifference of good men who have been put in authority over us.
Fear them.
If you do evil, they are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer, says Romans 13.
What about as Christians?
What do we do now?
I've been wrestling with this for a while.
unidentified
What do we do now?
benny johnson
Of course, I'm going to commend our federal law enforcement and those who will bring about swift justice by the law of the land and the nation upon which we live, with a leader who God has set up.
Clearly, it says the leaders, the leaders hold terror for those who do wrong.
And I pray that President Trump holds terror over those who murdered Charlie Kirk.
That is what the law requires.
What about us as Christians?
I'll just say this firstly.
We're all deserving of hell.
Charlie Kirk's assassin.
Those who provided material assistance to him are deserving of hell.
The only way to get grace, the grace of Christ, is to accept your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
As all of us are in fear of hellfire because all of us have sinned, and God cannot tolerate sin.
He will not allow it.
God hates murder.
He makes that very clear.
And so it really doesn't, the question doesn't really fall to us.
As who do we forgive him?
It's what is that relationship with Christ?
And that's the question for all people, in fact.
It's a question that Charlie regularly talked about.
It's something that Charlie's said time and time again.
You've never found a 20-year-old talk more about what his legacy would be after his death.
This is how you know that Charlie Kirk is one who should be considered amongst the martyrs.
Now for the positive part of our open here.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Charlie wanted to be remembered for courage for his faith.
Stop me saying it because I was his friend and because I was able to listen to Charlie's views on life and the world in a private context on many, many occasions as we traveled the country and the world together, frankly, is because he said it time and time again.
Charlie's legacy is he wanted to advance the kingdom of God.
And in a beautiful and prophetic way, he has done just that.
By giving his life for this movement, he has made this movement so much stronger than I think anyone could have imagined.
And I want to just before I play this video, share with you the story of Stephen.
Stephen was the first martyr of the Christian church.
Stephen was the same age as Charlie, approximately.
Stephen Was called to simply preach Christ and preach it boldly, that offended the ruling authorities who murdered Stephen in cold blood in front of everyone.
Many were able to watch it and see it, including the Apostle Paul, who wrote the majority of the New Testament, by the way.
At that time, the disciples had been sequestered to Jerusalem and were actually in fear of their lives.
After the martyrdom of Stephen, the blood of that man accelerated the growth of Christianity in the ancient days, faster than any single martyr who was a follower of Christ, had done before or since.
Because the church went from 200 to 200,000 and spread throughout nations.
That was the first time that you saw it happen.
It's amazing how God uses these tools again and again and again.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
It jumped.
benny johnson
Level jumped exponentially.
What is it when you go from 200 to 200,000?
That's a 4,000% increase in your numbers.
Christianity has never done that.
There have been revivals, but not to that effect.
That was the martyrdom of Stephen.
In Hebrews chapter 11.
It talks about how the voice, even though it was killed, is louder now than ever before.
And that is what we saw this weekend with Charlie.
This is why I called Charlie a martyr.
From the first instance that we witnessed this news before I even knew if Charlie would live or die, this is going to be a martyrdom.
This is going to exponentially increase the church, the movement, the voice of Charlie.
That's just the way God works.
Somebody who was witness to Charlie's life and saw the miracle that it was, the prophetic hand that was on Charlie throughout his life.
I mean, you just don't see 13 and 14-year-olds wandering the halls of the RNC convention looking for their first donors for Turning Point USA.
He was doing that.
13-year-olds get Legos stuck up their nose.
That's what 13-year-old boys are doing.
Charlie Kirk was building the foundation for the single greatest political organization in American history.
That's what he was doing at 13.
That's a calling.
That's the hand of God.
Charlie is a martyr.
And now what you witnessed this weekend is the power of that martyrdom.
We're going to get to that.
I want to play with Charlie's words, though, so that you can see how Charlie will be smiling down from heaven, and how we are remembering him by first and foremost building the kingdom of God.
Here we go.
unidentified
How do you want to be remembered?
charlie kirk
Die?
unidentified
Everything just goes away.
How would you, if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered?
charlie kirk
I want to be, I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.
That would be the most important thing.
Most important thing is my faith in my life.
I don't know if you know this, but everyone dies.
It's important to remind yourself of that.
That you face God the judge, and he's going to list everything you did wrong in your life.
It's going to be a long sentencing hearing for me.
Well, you get justice, which is hell, because that's what we deserve.
Mercy, which is less of that, which allow the theologians figure out what that is, or grace.
What is grace?
Grace is something so unique, so different, so profound.
Which is as soon As the sentencing is about to be ushered in, someone comes in and says, No, I will serve that prison sentence for him.
I will go into the prison cell for him or her.
So that they can live forever.
That's grace.
You didn't earn it.
You didn't check boxes for it.
You didn't go park cars for a ministry, and that gets you extra points to go to heaven.
None of that's true.
It's that it's equally accepted for all people that allow Jesus Christ to be your savior, the savior of the world, to be born new and to be completely and totally renewed.
That's a gift that we must try to give all people in the world.
I mean, I've had an unbelievably blessed life.
Uh, been doing this, and that would be 12 years on June 5th.
unidentified
Such a young man to do it.
charlie kirk
Yeah, so praise God.
I mean, I've been all across the world, I've met with world leaders, I've flown in Air Force One, got to know a president.
I I have an amazing family, podcast, turning point USA is all that stuff.
And so you you experience that, and you're like, what actually matters?
What matters is your relationship with the divine, your relationship with your family, your kids, and maybe a close collection of friends, and your relationship with the truth.
And you could decide to lie all the time, then you become a tortured individual, and you know those people, you just turn on television, they're constantly lying, and they just become like disfigured either emotionally, spiritually, or physically.
Because when you lie, I believe you're actually committing suicide of the soul.
I really believe that.
unidentified
Are you a Christian?
charlie kirk
Very very much so.
unidentified
Like, why is that exactly?
charlie kirk
Oh, Jesus saved my life.
I'm a sinner, gave my life to Christ, most important decision I ever made.
unidentified
So you believe the Bible is real?
charlie kirk
Yes, I believe the Bible is true and real.
unidentified
Why is that?
charlie kirk
Well, I could give you the technical answer.
There's never been an archaeological discovery that has contradicted the truth of the Bible.
And then, of course, the wisdom.
There is not a truth of the Bible that if you apply to your life, your life does not improve dramatically.
And then finally, uh, we have the most accurate and transparent, historically robust account that one can have of the most important figure ever to live in the history of the world, Jesus of Nazareth.
And the resurrection is the is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live.
And for those of you that have not given your life to Christ, I could tell you it is the most freeing, liberating thing that a human being can possibly do.
The most important thing that you can do, which is to be born new into the kingdom of God.
benny johnson
Charlie Kirk is not dead.
Charlie Kirk is alive with his Lord and Savior Christ today.
Charlie Kirk passed through, and he knew he was just passing through, as we all are.
Charlie Kirk would want in this exact moment, and something I don't normally do, but in this exact moment, Charlie Kirk would want more to be brought to Christ.
Like here, look.
Look at the mass baptisms taking place in this country.
If we don't have a massive stack of the evidence of the revival in this nation, I see some in the script.
I want to get to all of it.
So please load up.
Look at this, a mass baptism taking place.
Jesus walks across the country.
Full to the brim, churches, parking lots where people have to park down the street and around the corner.
That's what my church was like.
Standing in the back, standing room only.
People heading to church for the first time in their lives, people heading to church after trying to devote their lives to Satan, God calling them back through the life of Charlie.
This is happening across the nation.
What is this?
Clip A. Go.
Look at this.
Churches, if your church did not describe talk about Charlie Kirk, I think this is just a small sampling of some of the churches displaying Charlie's image and talking about his legacy.
If your church did not talk about Charlie Kirk and about his Christian martyrdom for our faith, then in this moment, which does not have to be political, it is spiritual in nature, then I would kindly request you deeply assess what kind of a church that you are attending.
Because this is a spiritual battle that we fight.
And if your church is not locked in to understanding that realm, and that we are not struggling against Physical principalities, but against good versus evil, darkness versus light, then you need to get deeper and more rich spiritual guidance.
Much of the spirit, much of what we've talked about on my program comes from the pastor of my church, who took directly on the issue of violence in our culture, what Christ does with martyrs, calling Charlie Kirk a martyr from the Deus.
That is what Christian leaders should do in this moment.
Because what you were witnessing are the works of a martyr now throughout the nation.
Charlie vigils around the world.
Not just in America, but as far as our producers have been able to count, over 20 different countries showing up to venerate Charlie Kirk as a patriot, as a nationalist, as someone who believed what he said.
When he spoke about his Christian faith, he spoke about his nation.
Here's from Poland, England, Germany, South Korea, Australia.
Something's happening.
And it is truly remarkable.
So this would be the time that Charlie would whisper in my ear and say, oh, you know, remind people what is this all about?
Well, here's what it's all about coming to Christ.
As I have said on this program many, many times, I am a simple Christian.
I don't want the smoke of being a pastor.
I won't be able to read for you the original Latin or Greek.
I don't know it.
I'm not that smart.
Charlie has 70 IQ points on me at least.
But I can't talk to you about simple Christianity.
And so as you witness the miracle, the miracle that we were all able to see of Charlie's life play out, the miraculous signs and wonders of what he was able to accomplish in 31 years.
And then his giving his life for it, which is of which has caused his social media followings to double and triple.
Which is what I mean by that is so he gives his life, you give your life for something.
Evil men cut out your tongue.
And what that means is that they're scared of what you have to say.
That means more people listen to what you have to say than ever.
And thank God Charlie has an almost unlimited amount of podcasts and conversations and lectures and speeches given at churches.
You'll be able to listen for the rest of your life to Charlie's words, which were captured in 4K and broadcast.
And so it goes with God.
God takes these things that the world, that man intends for evil, God intends for good.
And so this is my moment to honor my friend and what he wished for his legacy, to say, go to church.
Give your life to Christ.
All of us are deserving of hell.
None of us are perfect.
There is no one perfect, not any.
Give your life to Christ, kneel before the cross and allow the freedom and liberty.
Where does it all come from?
We love liberty.
We love freedom.
We love our nation.
Where does that come from?
It comes from our Christian founding, the Christian ethos of our founders.
Find that in Christ.
You you like that in our constitution.
You like that in our nation.
Yes, that is why you like being an American.
Well, find it in the deeper root of our nation.
The reason why it says in God we trust.
Find it in Christ.
Find that freedom and give your life to Christ.
I cannot tell you enough how encouraged I am by clips like this.
Here's like a good example.
Just some chick Saying, hey, I'm I'm going to I'm going to church for the first time.
Anybody else?
And like 7,000 comments on her TikTok saying, me too, me too, me too.
I'm also going to church for the first time.
Were your parking lots filled to the brim?
Was your church at maximum capacity?
My church was probably double.
I go to a very small church here in Tampa.
My church was probably double capacity of what we normally see.
Young people, all young.
All young people.
unidentified
All young people.
benny johnson
One of Charlie's closest friends is a man named Andrew Colvette.
He's his executive producer on his program.
He's so close to Charlie that it filled he fills in.
You've perhaps seen Andrew on our program.
Um out speaking for Charlie.
And Andrew went on Maria's Bertromo's show, and I think perfectly encapsulated what Charlie would want in this moment.
As you're seeing Jesus walks, mass baptisms, mass conversions, a new revival of this nation, a chilling spiritual awakening.
Perfectly summed up by Andrew here.
This is the legacy Charlie wanted.
This is the hand of God.
unidentified
Andrew, how do you want Charlie to be remembered and how do you want to honor him?
andrew colvett
I want Charlie to be remembered for his great faith because that's how he wanted to be remembered for his courage and his faith.
And you know, it's been said that the blood of the martyrs is the seeds of the church.
It's the seeds of the church.
And we're going to see great great faith rise up across the country from this.
I believe it in the world.
And so my my request is that if you want to honor Charlie today, it is Sunday, Maria.
Um go back to church.
Open your Bible, pray.
Ask God to lead you.
Um that's what he wanted.
He was not a revolutionary.
Um he actually loved this country.
He did not want blood in the streets, he wanted revival.
unidentified
Andrew Colvet, thank you so much.
benny johnson
Beautiful summary.
Something else that Charlie loved that he probably didn't admit uh too often was he loved football.
He loved the NFL.
He loved college football and NFL football in our private group chats.
Uh Charlie was constantly pinging them about games that were ongoing.
Charlie Kirk was beautifully honored throughout the NFL.
There were a few, I think there were a few teams that deserve great shame for not honoring Charlie.
But maybe that's not what Charlie would have wanted.
Nonetheless, I think that Charlie would have been overwhelmed to have seen stadiums like this.
Here's Dallas Cowboys Stadium honoring Charlie Kirk.
These are uh moments of silence, moments of honor uh for Charlie.
Of course, you've seen this across professional sports, across country music, across NASCAR, uh across baseball, every ongoing sporting league right now.
unidentified
Church goers in Minnesota and Charlie Kirk in Utah.
At this time, we ask you to join us in a moment of silence.
benny johnson
As we remember those, we have lost.
Remarkable.
So for everyone asking, how do we remember Charlie?
That's it.
He told us.
We don't have to make any assumptions.
For everyone asking, what do we do next?
Well, first, build the kingdom of God.
Second, do God's work in this earthly realm.
That is why we started off with Romans 13 to talk about the vengeance of the sword and the indifference of good men.
Because it's been now established that this is a spiritual war against darkness and the agents of the light must win.
Now we saw that light yesterday in the first of many memorials for Charlie.
Uh, A production note, of course, we will be.
We will be traveling to Charlie's funeral this weekend.
We'll be on Sunday.
I think we have uh I think we have the actual imagery here from Turning Point.
And we'll be heading here on Sunday.
We'll most likely be offline for uh this starting Friday.
Um this is going to be where the Arizona Cardinals play.
And Gilbert, Arizona, it says 70, 60 or 70,000 person capacity stadium.
This is going to be the Charlie Kirk legacy memorial for Charlie.
Uh also, again, I just want to be very upfront about what our schedules are going to be in this time as they are ever changing.
JD Vance is going to be hosting the Charlie Kirk Show.
I was not counting on this.
This was uh this came as news to me last night when JD Vance posted it.
I said, this is going to be remarkable.
That will happen at noon today.
It is 10 49 a.m.
We will, of course, be off our show and we'll be perhaps broadcasting up to the minute in order to push everyone into Charlie's feed.
There, it will be there on Rumble.
That will be in approximately 70 minutes.
So again, we will ensure I cannot encourage you enough to head over there to watch that.
Uh, what will no doubt be a remarkable moment?
And so be uplifted that God is working in your world.
Be confident in the rulers and principalities, that God has established them in order to deliver his justice, the wrath, the fury, the sword of the rulers of this world, ladies and gentlemen, intended for the sole purpose of our government.
And let us talk about that for just one moment.
What is the purpose of our government?
Because I'm about to show you a bunch of clips of Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, President Trump, Cash Patel, Dan Bon Gino.
We're about to get into the rulers of our country.
And what is their responsibility?
Let us look to the scriptures.
The responsibility, please pop up Romans 13 one more time.
Thank you.
The responsibility of the rulers of this world.
Security, justice, safety for good men, so that we may live in peace and we may dispatch evil.
There's no such thing as a perfect world.
Christ proved that in his life.
All the apostles and saints proved that in their lives.
I know I've talked a little bit about Stephen.
Do you know that the martyrdom, Steve, the guy who's writing this, Paul?
Arguably the greatest evangelist for Christ that ever lived.
I mean, can you argue against it?
You can't.
Paul wrote the majority of the New Testament.
Paul spread the gospels to every corner of the known world.
Do you know that Paul was there when Stephen was killed?
Says that Paul, who's known as Saul at the time, gathered all the coats of the people who were about to murder Stephen.
You want to talk about a coordinated murder.
This is what it was.
We're going to talk a little bit about some of the breaking news of the coordination against Charlie.
Forgive me.
So the reason we have a New Testament, the writer of the New Testament, the most on-fire Christian that ever lived, was radicalized for Christ in part because of the martyrdom, Stephen.
Do not question what God is doing here.
Do not question it.
It is extremely powerful.
So what is What is the responsibility of our leaders?
The responsibility of our leaders is the wielding of the sword, the protection of the innocent.
God has put them into this position of authority in order to be his agent of wrath and fury, says Romans 13.
They do not wield the sword in vain.
And so now it falls to us to ensure that our authorities that God has established protect us from the evil that stole Charlie and cut him down and martyred him.
Protect our children.
And what's become very clear about this is that they are coming for me.
There's a shortage of threats on my life now, as these goblins have moved.
I think it's pinned to the top of my Twitter handle right now.
So I say this to you.
You evil demons.
You goblins and agents of darkness.
I fear God alone.
I fear God alone.
My faith is in Christ Jesus, who is the author of life and death.
I fear...
God more than I fear Satan.
And that's how I'll live my life.
Light will conquer the darkness.
Good will conquer evil.
And you demons will return to hell where you belong.
So help us, God.
I've seen the power of light.
And it is nothing versus the power of darkness.
Ladies and gentlemen, the power of darkness is nothing compared to the power of light.

Thank you.

And on this channel, we will fear God alone.
We will pray at the cross.
We will devote our lives to Christ.
For in that we are that is for in that we will find the grace that all must all men must have to have confidence in eternal life.
And that's it.
A lot of people tell me a lot of things right now.
And I just want to be very, very clear on that.
It's clear.
I posted it.
unidentified
Hmm.
benny johnson
I do not fear demons.
I do not fear Satan.
I fear God.
God holds the keys to eternal life.
You should also fear God.
You know who taught me that?
Jim Cavezal.
Who played Christ in the passion of the Christ?
And who went through great sufferings to do so?
It's probably not the time to talk about it, but he was struck by lightning.
He was he was physically broken by that role.
We've all seen the passion of the Christ.
Jim Cavizel comes on this program and says, it's time for Christians to start fearing God more than they fear Satan.
Fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom.
And that's where we're going to start here on this program.
I fear God because I've been able to see his wonders in this world.
And here's the Kennedy Center last night.
This was one of Charlie Kirk's first memorials.
unidentified
Holy, holy forever.
Though the people sing.
Though the people sing.
Holy, holy for the people.
Holy, you will always be.
Nice jamming.

Tulsi Gabbard, who's in charge of our.
I thought that would be the line around the Kennedy Center.
Please grab me that.
Thank you.
around the Kennedy Center waiting to get in to Charlie Kirk's memorial was the longest line I've ever seen in Washington, D.C. Speaking at that memorial, Tulsi Gabbard.
Tulsi Gabbard is director of national intelligence.
She oversees terrorist threats, domestic and clandestine, to our nation.
Tulsa Gabbard has something beautiful to say about Charlie.
And it is time for us to, as we mourn Charlie, and as we'll be giving Charlie up to God this week.
It is important for us to now call upon our governing authorities in order to do what must be done to ensure that this shot is the first and last shot in what they intend to be a civil war in this nation.
unidentified
Amen.
benny johnson
Your Tulsi Gabbard.

In the book of Corinthians, Paul said, therefore, we are always of good courage.
And know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
We are of good courage, I say, and prefer to rather be absent from the body and be home with the Lord.
Ultimately, for every one of us, the time that we have in this world is temporary.
Our time will come sooner or later.
And so the critical question that we have for ourselves is whatever time we have, what are we doing with it?
How are we making the most of every day that we have?
Charlie Kirk, every single day, carried out his mission, motivated by his faith in Jesus Christ and his unwavering dedication to defending our God given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
because of his commitments and dedication.
His impact here and around the world is profound.
And it is a beautiful thing to see it playing out now.

Pray for stiffened spine and hearts set like flint upon the handle of the sword for those who are in law enforcement.

Thank you.
benny johnson
to crush the ideology that proves that they don't want to live in a country with us.
They don't want open debate.
Charlie tried to bring open debate.
Charlie tried to talk with them.
They brought bullets.
Charlie brought peace and they brought death.
Jesus tells some parables about that, actually.
The vineyard owner, who keeps sending peaceful agents in order to try and give messages to those who he entrusted the vineyard to.
And then he, after they kill his son, Christ was telling an allegory about himself after they kill his son, the vineyard owner, scorches the earth.
RFK Jr. is somebody who knows full well what it's like to have assassination after assassination of matriarchs and generational talents and generational visionaries in his family.
No one knows better.
Let's listen to RFK Jr. eulogize Charlie Kirk and talking about how Charlie is the unifying force in the single greatest force, arguably in America right now, which is the Maha movement linked with the MAGA movement go.
robert f kennedy-jr
And over the next couple of years, our friendship blossomed.
He ended up being the primary architect of my unification with President Trump, which I...
Which I did my endorsement at his rally at the turning point rally in Scottsdale.
benny johnson
He was the one who put the sparklers on the stage when I was made a big show of it, but ladies and gentlemen, RFK not only said that, but also that Charlie Kirk is responsible for his daughter going to Bible school.
Incredible commentary here.
Have a listen.
robert f kennedy-jr
Yesterday, my 17-year-old niece left for Europe to go to the college.
And while she was packing her mother, Amarillas, my daughter-in-law, noticed that she had put a Bible in her suitcase.
And Amarillas was curious about it.
And she asked her.
And Zoe said to her, I want to live like Charlie Kirk.
benny johnson
17-year-old niece, correction, I said daughter, niece.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
benny johnson
Left for Europe to go to college while she was packing, she put a Bible in her suitcase.
She said, I want to live like Charlie Kirk.
He'd be so proud of these.
Tales of Revelation about his life.
Carolyn Levitt reveals how she may not even be where she is without Charlie Kirk.
Here we go.
karoline leavitt
Campaign for Congress at just 23 years old during the 2022 midterm elections.
Most people in this town, pretty much all of the people in this town of Washington, did not take me seriously.
Charlie Kirk, however, did.
Charlie in his political pack, Turning Point Action, immediately embraced me with open arms and endorsed my campaign.
Charlie personally and his team would check in with me throughout the campaign.
They could ask how they could help.
And when Washington Super PAX poured money into the coffers of my opponents' campaigns, Charlie and Turning Point gave more to me to help me across the finish line.
Charlie and his team flew me out to Arizona to introduce me to some of the biggest donors in Republican politics so I could fuel my race.
Charlie welcomed me on stage to speak at the Student Action Summit in Florida to raise national awareness for my candidacy and to speak directly to young voters.
And when most played it safe and stuck to the business as usual approach of the establishment Republican Party that no longer exists, Charlie looked...
Charlie looked for the outsiders, the up and coming truth tellers with new ideas who weren't afraid to challenge the status quo, just like President Trump, whom he loved so much.
And I speak on behalf of the president when I say President Trump loved you, Charlie, so much too.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll spend the rest of the week.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Ensuring that Charlie's legacy is properly cemented.
And then beginning the work, which has already started of building what comes next in order to honor Charlie Kirk.
And honoring Charlie Kirk is something that Erica Kirk did, his wife.
This happened on Friday night, and there are no words.
If you doubt the spirituality of this moment, the power of this moment, then merely watch Erica.
And her address to the nation.
It's about 15 minutes long.
It's widely publicly posted everywhere, including all of our Channels.
But I didn't want to do a live stream.
This is our first live stream since she gave that address on Friday night.
And so I wanted to just simply play this part of Erica's resolve, because it so perfectly aligns with what the vision is moving forward.
Erica Kirk, the evildoers who are responsible for my husband's assassination, you have no idea what you have done.
erika kirk
Already I have seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my husband.
I've heard the testimonies from people my husband inspired to get married to start families, to seek out a relationship with God.
It's the most important.
Most important one of all.
The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination have no idea what they have done.
They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
They should all know this.
If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea.
You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.
You have no idea.
You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, but you have no idea what you have done.
The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.
Our campus tour this fall will continue.
There will be even more tours in the years to come.
um America Fest here in Phoenix this December will go on.
It will be greater than ever.
The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on.
And in a world filled with chaos, doubt, and uncertainty, my husband's voice will remain.
And it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever.
And his wisdom will endure.
benny johnson
There's nothing else to be said.
We have a everything is a everything is a poor facsimile of what Erica Kirk crystallized in the strength that she projected the nation.
I don't think we've ever seen, nor will we ever see again.
We've never seen a wife of someone who was politically assassinated engage in such strength and spiritual clarity.
unidentified
I So keep your prayers up for Erica.
benny johnson
Obviously, she is absorbing and feeling that energy.
We look forward to seeing her in Phoenix.
unidentified
Thanks.
Thank you.
benny johnson
But the speech heard around the world was Erica Kirk's.
As she sat next to her husband's empty chair.
Again, that chair will be filled by the Vice President of the United States approximately 50 minutes from now.
I'll put this up.
And a reminder that we will be off air and we will be directing everyone to Charlie Kirk's Rumble channel in order to watch this address.
A remarkable thing.
We look forward to watching it with you.
We hope that J.D. Vance addresses, and we know that he will, blackness of sunken evil that is now rearing its frothing, wild-eyed, possessed head across the nation.
I don't know what exactly God is doing in this time, but I'm telling you, the number of TikToks celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, these animals that are desecrating Charlie Kirk memorials, It's happened here or there.
The nation has now had enough.
you Cutesy time is over, as Dan Bongino would say.
The nation has had enough.
We've had enough of the open.
Wanton.
Calls for violence.
We'd have enough of the celebration and veneration of violence, whether it's Luigi, or whatever is the next transgender killer down the line.
There always is a not insignificant number of leftists that venerate that person because they killed a Christian or a child or a conservative.
A short and important footnote in the people's history of left-wing violence that we are living through is that major musical acts and celebrities were begging for the shooter who hit Trump in the head with a bullet, praise God non-fatally, to have better aim.
They were doing this publicly.
Fourteen months ago with President Trump.
They've already showed us who they are.
Will we believe them?
They're demons.
And it's radicalizing in a way that they don't understand.
Let me explain how this works.
For the vast majority of Americans.
That's why I have this map up on my wall.
Because we live in a country.
That is center right.
Our nation is by establishment, center right.
The only way the left could ever change that is, of course, through open borders, the mass importation of people who would steal our vote.
And then would atomize what makes America America.
And we put a stop to that.
And hopefully the mass deportations will accelerate at light speed now.
But at current at present time, America is a center-right nation.
Most people want to be left alone.
The vast majority of people in this country want peace and security.
That is what poll after poll after poll after poll shows.
Pole after poll after poll shows that the culture was actually turning to Charlie Kirk.
Meaning what?
That some of the top priorities for young men, 35 and under, is starting a family, having children, falling in love, being Christian, practicing their faith, living in peace.
Charlie had won.
Because he had won, they resort to the acts of cowards.
They kill him.
They murder him.
For his political opinions.
Political assassination.
What does that do exactly?
What does that show?
The majority of this country is actually not identified in considers themselves independent.
Whenever there's polls there's this huge portion.
50, 60, 70, 100,000 people that say, I just kind of independent.
Not Republican or Democrat.
Those people, whether they like it or not, are center right.
That's why the country looks like this.
That's why President Trump won 90% of the counties in America.
Yes, President Trump did win the popular vote.
Yes, President Trump won all seven swing states.
But more importantly, President Trump won 90% of the land mass in this country.
An astonishing figure.
We had to go check it twice, and it's true.
90% of the counties in America voted Trump.
Charlie Kirk had won.
Charlie Kirk was bringing, please get me the that data on young men and families.
Charlie Kirk had defeated feminism.
He had defeated many of the isms that had corrupted and sunken so much of our young people.
He was doing so peacefully.
He was an unstoppable cultural force.
His veneration has proven this, but what is the point?
The point is, you take that agent of peace and you kill him.
The whole world sees it.
Billions of people have now seen this.
Across the world.
And those hundreds of thousands of Americans, those hundreds of millions of Americans that consider themselves the center, watch that happen and say, why?
And what they are witness to our side, not rioting, not burning, not killing, not looting.
Praying.
Our side getting on our knees and praying.
Organizing and mobilizing peacefully and singing songs and eulogizing.
That's what they witness.
So they see that and they say, wow, what a what a what a spiritual and beautiful response to this horrible thing.
Then they look over to the left.
And what do they see?
An unblinking.
Sunken.
Manic.
Spittle frothing at the mouth.
Celebration of that death.
And the hundred million people in the center go, why are you celebrating this?
What on earth did this young man do to deserve this?
And that rabid animal.
You've seen these TikToks.
I refuse, I will not play them.
You've seen these TikToks.
We just played you someone who ran up and tried to desecrate Charlie Kirk's memorial.
These rabid animals through the spittle and through the frothing, their eyes wildly twitching, their purple hair flying, their acne-covered faces, twisted demonically in glee, say, Charlie Kirk died.
He we had to die because he said things that offended us.
We didn't like what he said.
So we hate him.
And now he silenced him.
And the hundred million Americans in the center go, you killed him because you didn't like what he said.
You're celebrating his death because of what he said exactly.
Well, I have people that I disagree with.
I have arguments on a regular basis with people.
What will you do to me?
Says those hundred million Americans in the center that were kind of up for grabs politically.
And that demon on the other end, that demon on the left, continues to celebrate.
And continues to shriek and scream and dance.
And say, now you get it.
Now you get it.
Yes, we had to kill him because of what he said.
And the majority of the nation, including an enormous preponderance of Democrats, but the majority of the nation, the vast majority, I mean, you're talking what I would have to assume would be 80% of the country says, F that.
I'm I'm done.
I'm done.
I won't be part of whatever this is.
This, I refuse.
It's how you get the videos in my feed, one after another after another after another, of Democrats saying, I'm done.
Leftists saying I'm finished.
We have a whole compilation of it.
Grab it.
Left is saying, I'm finished, I'm done.
I won't do it.
I won't be part of this.
I won't be part of it.
The killing of Charlie was bad enough.
The celebration of it and the desecration of Charlie's memory, that's enough.
I'm finished.
I won't be part of this.
My soul is not so far gone and so lost that I need to be part of this.
And that is radicalized in a good way.
The nation.
I don't want to get too political here.
But I predict that in our lifetimes and in the near future.
That the Democratic Party will cease to be con to will cease to be a political force.
That is even worth fighting.
That the entire edifice of the Democrat Party right now, the entire demographic makeup of the Democrat Party right now, and please load up all of the cli- I want a bunch of clips of people saying I'm done with the Democrat Party.
There are hundreds of thousands of them.
The modern day makeup of the Democrat Party is socialist or communist aging, geriatric, and then deeply disturbed and mentally ill communities of radicalized violence and evil.
Who are on the very fringes of what you could even call civilized society.
Frankly, inhospitable to civilized and functional society.
Subsisting entirely on pharmaceuticals and welfare.
And that is what the base of the party has become.
That is what the base of the Democrat Party is.
Aging geriatrics.
and mentally ill.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
And what has happened here, what has happened here, you just play him as a plague aside.
What has happened here is that you've lost entirely the center for maybe a generation, maybe forever.
This guy's the center.
This is the center.
unidentified
Listen to this guy.
I was an old school Democrat.
I will never vote a fucking Democrat.
benny johnson
Ever.
unidentified
I was a purple party independent.
You lost me.
I'm all red now.
When you celebrate and rejoice in the murder and assassination of someone who just was giving a different point of view than what you're used to in the fucking colleges these days, you are and will always be part of the problem if you're rejoicing in that.
He was a family man.
He just came and was respectful to everybody and was assassinated for it.
It's fucking pathetic.
And so has what the Democratic Party has become.
benny johnson
I am a blue dog Democrat.
I voted Democrat my entire life, says this man.
It's done.
It's done.
I'm finished with you.
I'm finished.
We don't need to play more.
But please, Klein, just cycle through them.
You can see him.
To a man and a woman.
We have hundreds, if not thousands, of these that we are saving and we are producing right now.
Of people saying, this has radicalized me to the to the right, away from the left.
People with neck tattoos and septum piercings are out giving Charlie Kirk video are out doing defenses of Charlie Kirk.
In case you're wondering if there's a spiritual element to all of this.
This is a separating of the wheat from the chaff, as Christ would say.
It's a separation of the wheat from the chaff.
You're used to seeing videos like this, like attacking Charlie.
All of these people are defending Charlie.
The lip piercings, the nose rings.
The goofy haircuts, they're all saying, no, no, no, I'm done with the Democrat Party.
I'm finished.
I'm finished.
That's what they've done.
They have taken, because there is a political element to this.
They have taken what could be potentially up for grabs in the center, a hundred million Americans.
Remember, there's already 77 million people vote for Donald Trump.
What is it, 65 maybe?
Vote for Kamala Harris.
That number is around 6570.
It's, you know, relatively split.
I don't know if you take out fraud, and if you take out all the dead voters, what that looks like for the Democrat Party.
They were already in a tough, they were already in a tough position.
This young man, too, also saying the same thing.
He's like a 14-year-old, 13-year-old influencer, and he's like, I am like, I'm just I'm a Republican now, because of what how I've seen you all treat Charlie Kirk.
It's like incredible.
So what's happening right now and what we are going to affect, and it's probably a little early to have this conversation, but in Charlie's memory, we are going to be doing good through the church and through our Christian power in this world.
We're going to be affecting his memory and legacy like that.
And then we're going to also be stemming that into the political realm.
Because it is important who our rulers are.
The scriptures are very clear about that.
That is something that we must take care of.
Something that God establishes.
And we must be working for just leaders.
Because they wield the sword.
God help us.
Could you imagine if Kamala Harris was president right now?
unidentified
Could you imagine what would be happening?
benny johnson
Could you imagine what would be happening?
We'd all be getting our accounts banned.
All of us would be ripped off the internet.
If Kamala Harris was right now, every one of us would be ripped off the internet for just talking about this.
Simply talking about this.
So that's what they've done.
And then you need to add in the details of what happens next.
Because what we learned was that in the wake of Charlie's blood still being spilt upon the ground in Utah.
The left-wing media lied about who the shooter was.
The left-wing media.
And ALX, please grab my tweet on this, please.
I want to go through all the lies of left-wing media.
Decided to tell you that the shooter, I don't even want to say this bastard's name.
Decided to tell you that this shooter was right wing.
He was a conservative.
A final despicable lie from the pit of hell, these people.
He's a Republican.
Don't you worry.
That just is what it is.
Charlie Kirk created this.
Let's check in on this, shall we?
Because we learned so very much about Charlie Kirk's political assassin.
Charlie Kirk's political assassin, right-wing Republican, of course, right?
The media would have you believe.
Without any evidence.
Well, here's the evidence.
This political assassin lived with his transgender boyfriend.
Somebody who's been identified.
Somebody who's turned over all of their electronics to the FBI, and we'll get to that in a second, because the FBI is beginning to release some of the contents of those electronics, proving that there was a plot or conspiracy or potential co-conspirators in this Charlie Kirk murder.
Yes, this was organized.
Charlie's killer carved Antifa and LGBTQ slogans in his bullets.
As a matter of fact.
and law enforcement officials who've gone through all of his social media call him a left-wing activist.
His high school friends call him a redditor.
We all know what that means.
His transgender boyfriend hated Christians and conservatives.
The last time that his family had dinner with him, Charlie Kirk's killer, he was ranting and raving about Charlie Kirk.
about how hateful Charlie is.
His co-workers confirmed that he was consumed with hatred for President Trump and Charlie.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Of course, he cuts down the most powerful conservative voice of a generation.
And now leftists are going to scream from the rooftops.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Actually, it doesn't matter.
Actually, it doesn't matter.
The blood is on their hands.
We've been talking about this.
We went viral talking about this last week.
I seem to be the only person that wants to like come out and say it, and I will.
But this these ideologies must be destroyed.
That is what we've learned about the shooter.
President Trump announced last night something that was new.
Which is that they're unlike what Spencer Cox, he's the governor of Utah, tried to confirm.
Erroneously, by the way, the FBI's not happy about this.
Tried to confirm that this was simply a lone wolf situation.
There's no co-conspirators.
That is false.
That is demonstrably false.
President, let's go through all the evidence.
President Trump last night confirmed that there is a massive investigation into far left-wing groups that are currently active in Utah who may have had a hand in radicalizing Charlie Kirk's shooter, may have provided material support to Charlie Kirk's shooter.
Where did he get the gun?
Where did he get the training?
Where did he get the engraved bullets?
Let's get into it.
Here we go.
unidentified
Charlie Kirk is going to be on the left.
donald j trump
Well, the problem is on the left.
If you look at the problem, the problem is on the left.
unidentified
It's not on the right, like some people like to say on the right.
donald j trump
The problem we have is on the left.
And when you look at the agitators, uh the you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place.
That's the left.
That's not the right.
karoline leavitt
Plan on investigating.
unidentified
We'll see.
donald j trump
We'll be announcing.
They're already under investigation.
You know, they're already under major investigation.
A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left.
karoline leavitt
They're already undervestigated.
donald j trump
Already under investigation.
benny johnson
Why would they be an under investigation?
Well, Cash Patel breaking this news this morning.
That they had the group text chats.
Something bubbled up this weekend.
Where those who were, you know, I would argue probably the single greatest investigating force on planet Earth, and I think ALX will back me up on this, is the autism of the internet.
Internet autists were able to triangulate a remarkable number of accounts that seemed to have foreknowledge about what was going to happen to Charlie.
And as evil always does, they threw this their spittle-stained yellow teeth and little goblin mouths, mouths of Sauron, they had to brag about it.
They had to brag about what they were about to do.
What do all these accounts have in common?
They're all transgender accounts.
What of course does Charlie Kirk's killer have in common with that?
Well, he was dating.
His boyfriend was transgender.
Guess would be the right way to say it.
But more importantly, he was in group chats.
With what we must assume are a number of these people based on breaking reporting, by the way, from the free beacon, and based on what we heard from Cash Patel this morning.
So here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's start with Cash, director of the FBI, talking about the communications in these group chats.
What do they say?
kash patel
Going back to the group chats real quick.
There's more than 20 individuals.
But this is a great point.
I want to lay out how this works.
People thinks we can just get in these group chats and immediately find out who's in them.
We, the FBI are the investigatory body supporting multiple prosecutions and ongoing investigations, and that's another point.
Our investigation at the FBI is ongoing.
Um, and there are scores of people in this Discord chat room.
But we have to effectuate legal process.
We have to go out there with search warrants so that if prosecutors want to later use this evidence, it's not tainted by being illegally obtained.
We, the FBI, are running the investigation pointly on the Discord chat group.
There are scores of individuals that are going to be spoken to.
There are also lots of family members and friends that have already been spoken to, and one more point on forensics.
We were able to obtain in record time the text message chain between the suspect and his live-in partner, as well as other uh critical cellular information from our cast team that analyzes cell phone data towers in the area to pinpoint the locations of the suspect and other individuals he was speaking with.
This is critical information that the FBI processed and got to prosecutors so they can lawfully use it in a court of law.
And uh our our investigation, our interviews continue, but we've learned some shocking things when we uh spoke to his family and friends as well.
benny johnson
Twenty people in these group chats at least.
What were they saying?
Cash Patel says that at least once.
Charlie Kirk's killer said, I'm going to take out Charlie Kirk.
I have a perfect opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and is telling a large community about this.
Now this seems to match what we've seen online here.
This is the new breaking report from the Free Beacon, that the social media accounts indicate foreknowledge of Kirk's assassination.
And at least a considerable majority of those accounts are transgender activist accounts.
Here's what Cash Patel said.
We're in these text message group chats.
mike johnson
Go.
kash patel
His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology, and even more so in these last couple of years.
And he uh had a text message exchange, he, the suspect with another individual, in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.
That are those are factually accurate investigatory findings by the FBI that we've handed over to the local authorities and the federal authorities to make their prosecutorial decisions.
But I believe in this instance of such public importance, the public has a right to know.
benny johnson
So let's look into this, ladies and gentlemen.
Fact.
One of these very extremist Antifa and transgender activist groups deleted and wiped their entire social media profile.
It's called the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City.
And you'll notice something uh quite alarming about the armed queers of Salt Lake City.
Their logo are engraved bullets with Antifa and left wing iconography on them.
Oh, you mean like the engraved bullets that they found in the shooter's firearm?
The killer's firearm.
You mean like that?
Is it really that simple?
unidentified
Is it really simple?
benny johnson
According to Axios, federal and state law enforcement officials are examining leftist groups in Utah and whether they had knowledge about the alleged shooters' plans beforehand or lent material support to him afterwards.
One of those groups eliminated its social media profile after the shooting.
Axios has learned.
The Antifa group armed queers...
with the logo that seems to perfectly predict what happened to Charlie, or at least the murder weapon, the inscribed bullets.
Who can even inscribe a bullet?
I wouldn't know where to begin to get a bullet inscribed to be able to write words on bullets.
How premeditated was all of this.
His transgender boyfriend had a large following.
Or following at the very least, that was extremely active in the community.
And much of that following is now in full-scale celebration of Charlie's assassination, and many say, and many have been able to screenshot potentially foreknowledge of that.
Let's read that Washington Freebacon article, shall we?
I want to get to, and then I want to get to Bon Gino.
Boys, I'm gonna want that.
I'm gonna need uh there we go.
Yep, got it.

Thank you.

Exclusive FBI investigating social media accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of Kirk assassination.
The FBI is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appear to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation that Washington Freebacon has learned.
The post, one of which referenced the date of Kurt's assassination, September 10th, more than a month before it took place, were all deleted in days following the killing.
Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, at least one of them following followed the suspect, Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship on TikTok.
The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to person who flagged them for the agency.
Screenshots of the post have been circulating online, but have not been previously authenticated.
While the post do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mentioned that the conservative activist by name and fantasized about his death.
It'd be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th, L M A O Another account posted on August 6th, more than a month before the shooting, that September 10th will be a very interesting day.
I plead the fifth.
The morbid quip was reposted by a user who appears to follow Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs on TikTok.
Minutes before Kirk was pronounced dead, this transgender activist account posted, We effing did it.
Several of the accounts under the investigation appear to be associated with LGBT subcultures.
One individual used the name in reference to a genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men.
Another user who wished death on Kirk and predicted that something big will happen when he stepped foot on campus, identified as non-binary.
In a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote that Charles James Kirk does not know what's coming tomorrow.
This isn't a threat.
It's a promise.
Dan Bongino saying we are investigating all of this.
unidentified
Yes.
benny johnson
Mark my words, they will be brought to justice.
unidentified
Here we go.
bill hemmer
Is there any connection at all between the person who was asking the question about mass shooters and trans killers?
Or was that just a stunning coincidence when that single shot was fired?
dan bongino
Well, we're investigating that.
Um I don't want to say conclusively right Now, if there was a connection or not.
Um, it sometimes he's I mean, Charlie was known to speak out about these issues.
He was a powerful voice.
It's uh it's not terribly uncommon for him to get questions like that.
However, uh, we are looking into that, um, any potential connection here.
Okay, so we're gonna scrub.
bill hemmer
I'm I'm not drawing conclusions from your answer, but you're you you're saying it's a possibility.
Is that what I hear you're saying?
dan bongino
We're looking into everything, Bill.
There's there's not gonna be a stone left unturned if there was anyone involved who aided a bed.
I can't say that in strong enough terms.
Every single FBI asset on this team is being applied and used in this investigation.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
I want to play you one final, and we want to be very respectful to the vice president, obviously, who's going to be taking Charlie Kirk's chair here in approximately 17 minutes.
So I'm gonna be respectful and give everybody a chance to head over, obviously, to Charlie's channel.
We're gonna put up the channel, we're gonna send everyone over there after the screen stream here.
There is one more clip that we want to get to, which is uh cash saying that the DNA on the gun is a positive hit for the Charlie Kirk killer.
I don't want to say this bastard's name, Tyler Robinson is his name.
Up to this point, we do not have we did not have any DNA evidence.
He says that a screwdriver was found on top of the building.
There are many people who have wondered where's the gun?
Where's the firearm?
Where's the firearm in the these ring doorbell cameras or security cameras of him walking?
And where's the firearm if with him fleeing and him leaving?
Allegedly, the firearm was found in the tree line wrapped in itself.
Screwdriver being found on the building suggests that perhaps the gun was assembled and was carried in a backpack.
That perhaps the muzzle or the stock was hidden under a shirt and in the killer's person as they walked, and perhaps that explains the limp in the TMZ video that we have of the individual, the killer walking and limping toward the event.
The screwdriver being something that also has a positive DNA test on it for Tyler Robinson.
Was the gun assembled and disassembled?
This I don't know.
It's a fine question to ask.
We look forward to asking a lot more questions.
We've been in direct communication with the FBI.
We've been posting everything that we can that's being that's been told to us about how this investigation is going.
Mark my words.
This thing is big.
This is not just a lone wolf.
This is not just one individual.
This may well take the entire diseased church down.
We'll see.
Let's hope and pray.
Here's Kash Patel.
This is something that we've been wanting, you know, obviously to establish because there's a lot of concern about greater, larger conspiracies.
You know, were there other shooters who was coordinating and so on?
Here's Kash Patel saying the DNA evidence points to one individual firing the weapon, but a much broader conspiracy of individuals potentially providing either material assistance for knowledge, bullet inscription, and so on.
Here's Kash.
kash patel
We flexed all resources the FBI had and searched multiple air assets as soon as this shooting occurred.
We were cycling in agents, evidence response technicians, hum hostage rescue technicians, and special operators in and out of Utah, cycling evidence back and forth on these FBI planes as soon as we could, so that there was no delay.
And what we did once I got there, along with the deputy on the ground um on the uh around 5 p.m. local on September 11th was walk the entire crime scene, including the foot the subs suspect himself took.
And what we learned was there was evidence, DNA evidence that could be collected and had been collected, including a screwdriver that was found on the rooftop.
Also, we went over to the scene in the wooded area where the firearm was discarded, and the firearm had a towel wrapped around it.
It's important.
I'll get back to that later.
I even walked into the wooded area in the ravine, so I knew from my investigative experience what I could bring to the table and what decisions I needed to make.
And having the support of President Trump and the full support of the White House was what we needed for these resources to happen.
And I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody.
benny johnson
We need to pray for those in law enforcement right now to have a firm hand, a heart set like Flint, stiffened spines, and steely resolve in order to disassemble for all time this evil.
Look at Dan Bongino's eyes here.
And I I want everyone to see sort of the sequence of events here that have that has played out.
So to recap.
Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk's killer, was a far left-wing radical according to his own family, friends, co-workers, according to his own transgender boyfriend, who hated Christians and conservatives.
Tyler Robinson had expressed hatred for Christians and conservatives.
Strange for uh strange out-of-state vehicles were seen colluding and working with Tyler w and meeting with Tyler Robinson at their apartment.
This is what has been reported.
Alex, please grab that report.
There's something that I want to just put up.
it's from the new york post Every law enforcement agent who has looked through the private messages, say that there was political motive of a left-wing radical nature.
The bullets were engraved with left-wing radical iconography, with furry, transgender, and Tifa iconography.
Antifa groups that are local to Utah are deleting and wiping all of their social media.
As are certain accounts that seem to have foreknowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
One of the Antifa groups have bullets, 30-06 bullets, with left-wing iconography engraved in it as their logo.
Pay attention to that group.
The director of the FBI and the deputy director of the FBI and the president of the United States has said this is going to be a much larger, broad, massive investigation into left wing terrorism.
I personally hope that they designate Antifa as a left wing terrorist groups, along with perhaps many others.
Here's the reporting, by the way, on the.
Charlie Kirk's assassin had multiple cars with out of state license plates seen coming and going from their townhouse.
According to neighbors, they did not give off a good vibe.
That's just what's being reported, okay.
And breaking today, Dan Bongino and Cash Patel have both announced that Tyler Robinson was telling people what he was about to do.
Was telling group chats what he was about to do.
That there seem to be advanced foreknowledge and potential co-conspirators in this.
Because that's what you are when somebody tells you that they're about to do something like this and you don't go to the authorities.
unidentified
Yes.
benny johnson
So we will see.
Have a look at Dan Bongino's eyes here and know that, and I know that Dan Bongino and Charlie were very close, that they are not going to allow this ideology to continue, this terrorist, radical terrorist ideology to continue in our nation.
domestically.
Here we go.
dan bongino
There appear to have been multiple warning signs.
You just laid out some of them.
There were people in his network, friends and family, who had stated that he had become more political, that he had become at some parts, I believe some of his coworkers had stated that he had kind of detached himself when the topic of politics came up and walked away from them.
Family members said he'd become more political, leading us to believe that this uh ideology had uh in had infected him and had taken over, and he was just intent, it appears from the data we've accumulated and the channel, and that uh that that note, which we have some evidence uh may have existed before based on the communications in that channel, that his target was obviously going to be Charlie, and that people knew in advance.
The question is, again, I just want to go back to what you had asked before.
Did they know, were they sure of this, or did they hear this and just write it off?
That's what we're gonna have to find out, and that's what we're investigating now.
Bill, this this investigation is just begun.
This isn't even the beginning of the uh of the beginning.
You know, yes, we have a subject in custody, you know, everybody's innocent until proven guilty in our constitutional republic.
However, this is not done by any stretch.
Our uh men and women out there in the bureau have worked tirelessly all weekend.
I just got back um to DC uh last night, and uh we, you know, Cash and I were out there on the scene, we walked the scene, we went through every single component of it, we saw the evidence up close and personal, and we went out there to be able to make uh command decisions with our team on the ground.
And uh, I think the uh process, although not perfect, of course.
I think the process went uh went pretty well considering we got him in 30 33 hours.
bill hemmer
Okay, yeah.
benny johnson
We're not even at the beginning of the beginning of this investigation.
I want to close the show with one clip.
We cannot encourage you enough to go watch JD Vance on Charlie Kirk's channel in approximately seven minutes' time.
But in case you're wondering if good men who wield the sword through the principalities of our Lord and Savior will be delivering justice.
Please listen to Stephen Miller.
Inarguably the most powerful man in Trump's administration.
I think you could really make a good argument for that.
It is the projection of Stephen Miller's uh visciage viewpoint and his brilliant mind.
He was also, of course, very close to Charlie.
Uh that is the bedrock of all of the Trump policies that you like.
And where the Trump administration is moving forward.
So please, without further ado, listen to how Stephen wishes to address left-wing violence and the blight of it on our nation.
stephen miller
And let me tell you something, I'm not sure with anybody, but the last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven, was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence.
That was the last message that he sent me before that assassin stole him from all of us.
And we are gonna do that under President Trump's leadership.
I don't care how it could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States, insurrection, but we are going to do what it takes to dismantle the organizations and the entities that are fomenting riots, that are doxing, that are trying to inspire terrorism, and that are committing acts of wanton violence.
It has to stop.
And my message is to all of the domestic terrorists in this country spreading this evil hate.
You want us to live in fear?
We will not live in fear, but you will live in exile.
Because the power of law enforcement under President Trump's leadership will be used to find you.
We use it, take away your money, take away your power, and if you've broken the law to take away your freedom, Sean.
benny johnson
That's the energy.
We separated into two.
One, our responsibility as Christians, which is frankly, just on us.
Like our responsibility as Christians is to make sure that you are good with God.
God will be your ultimate judge.
unidentified
So have a relationship with Christ.
benny johnson
Do your best to read about Christ, his teachings, New Testament and Old.
To learn as much as you possibly can about the wisdom of God.
Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
And then once you get your spiritual house in order, and we go about the building of the kingdom of God, move on over here to Romans 13.
Let's end with this before we all move over and watch Vice President.
Charlie's channel.
Romans 13.
To cap off perfectly what Stephen Miller is saying here.
God has established the ruling and governing authorities.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Consequently, those who rebel against those authorities are rebelling against what God has instituted.
And those who do so will bring judgment upon themselves.
The rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
Do you want to be free from fear?
For the one in authority, then do what is right, and you will be commended.
For the one in authority is God's servant for your good, your protectors.
That's what we must ask of the Trump administration now.
But if you do wrong, be sorely afraid.
For the rulers do not bear the sword in vain.
They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer.
Therefore, submit yourselves to the authorities.
Do not do so only because of possible punishment, but as a matter of conscience, as God has instituted them in our land.
One of the most powerful rulers will be live on Charlie's channel.
Here is the channel right here.
You probably already know it and follow it.
This is Charlie's Rumble channel right here.
Thank you.
Here's the URL.
I am pushing everyone to Charlie's channel, and then with our last few minutes here, of course, to turning point USA, which will become the lasting vessel of Charlie's legacy.
Turning point USA, ladies and gentlemen.
So we will be off now.
And deliver over to the vice president.
Godspeed to all of you.
We love you.
Let us carry on this mission and energy of Charlie Kirk.
An irreplaceable martyr, a voice of a generation, somebody who I considered a friend, a loving father and a loving husband, someone who's dispatched by evil, let us set about destroying that evil.
And this our great spiritual war and awakening.
A revival now set about Charlie smiling down from us in heaven, knowing this is how he would want to be remembered.
It's your boy Benny.
See ya.
erika kirk
The evil doers responsible for my husband's assassination.
Have no idea what they have done.
They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.
But they should all know this.
If you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you had no idea.
You had no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.
In this world, you had no idea.
So I want to tell you that we'll never surrender.
We never will.
Ever.
