Prosecutors in Charlie Kirk‘s killing pointed Tuesday to an engraved bullet, arguing that the inscription „Hey Facist! CATCH!“ demonstrates that Kirk was targeted for how the defendant perceived his politics.

âStop Us From Getting Into A Warâ: Joe Kent Reveals Charlie Kirkâs Final Warning In Bombshell Tucker Carlson Interview
The most striking moment of the interview came when Kent recounted his final meeting with Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder who was instrumental in the current administrationâs rise and the selection of JD Vance as Vice President.
âThe last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing,â Kent told Carlson. âHe looked me in the eye and he said⊠âJoe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.ââ
According to Kent, Kirkâwho was assassinated on September 10, 2025âwas one of the few top-tier advisors vocally urging the President to avoid a Middle Eastern conflagration and to ârethinkâ the unconditional nature of the U.S.-Israeli partnership.

Takeaways from former Trump administration counterterrorism chief Joe Kentâs extensive interview
âThere was no intelligence that said, hey, on whatever day it was, March 1st, the Iranians are going to launch this big sneak attack, theyâre going to do some kind of a 9/11, Pearl Harbor, etc. Theyâre going to attack one of our bases. There was none of that intelligence,â Kent said.
Trump and the the White House have repeatedly cited an imminent threat posed by Iran as an impetus for launching strikes against the country.
Kent further argued that the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who died last month in joint US and Israeli strikes, had been moderating the countryâs nuclear program.
MAGA Media Meltdown: Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson Feud With Trump Allies as Late-Night Roasts Iran War Chaos
(March 12, 2026)
One of the loudest critics within Trumpâs own media orbit has been former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who has publicly condemned the presidentâs decision to strike Iran.
Kelly amplified her criticism on social media by sharing comments from slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk warning about the consequences of a potential war with Iran. She also lashed out at hawkish figures inside the Republican Party, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, after he vowed on television that the United States would âblow the h— out of these people.â
âFor the love of God this man should never be in Trumpâs orbit again,â Kelly wrote.

Charlie Kirk predicted his own assassination in chilling text messages to Candace Owens
(November 1, 2025)
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk predicted his own assassination in chilling text messages to friend and former colleague Candace Owens â years before he was assassinated in Utah.
Owens posted screengrabs of a text exchange from April 6, 2018 on her podcast in which the person she identifies as Kirk predicted he would be killed because of his work with Turning Point USA.
âIf I tell you the true prophecy I know in my gut itâs really sad,â Kirk wrote, adding, âBut I hope its wrong.
DE Sign in Erika Kirk on Why She Forgave Her Husband‘s Killer | 2025 Dealbook Summit
Erika Kirkâs passionate advocacy for conservative values, alongside her husband Charlie, has long placed her in the public eye. In the wake of tragedy, how does she think about responsibility, resilience â and the work still to come? Watch this conversation about leading through uncertainty and how to turn hardship into purpose.
Guest: Erika Kirk, C.E.O. and Chair of the Board of Turning Point USA
Interviewer: Andrew Ross Sorkin, Founder and Editor at Large of DealBook
Erika Kirk Speaks to the Liberal Eliteâand Almost Sticks the Landing
Though Kirk has become a national figure since the death of her husband, her selection as the closing speaker at the annual summit for the Timesâ business vertical was unexpected. But Sorkin explained the reason for the decision after the two got onstage. About a year ago, he said, he met and befriended Charlie. The two texted and emailed frequently about their political disagreements.
âCharlie Kirk was supposed to be here today. He was supposed to be part of a task force that we had been talking about for quite some time,â Sorkin said. He decided to instead extend the invitation to Erika Kirk after she spoke ahead of President Donald Trump at her husbandâs televised memorial service. âI sat and watched the funeral by video, and I watched you, and I sat in aweâŠwhen you forgave the assassinâŠ. It was at that moment I said to myself, I need to talk to Erika,â Sorkin explained.
JD Vance rejects claims of Israeli influence on Trump: ‚They are not controlling this president‘
Vance also directly rejected the idea of external control over the president, affirming, âSo when people say that Israel is somehow manipulating or controlling the president of the United States, they are not controlling this president of the United States, which is one of the reasons why we have been able to have some of the success we have had in the Middle East.â
Vance reinforced his assertion of the presidentâs autonomy by referring to the negotiations surrounding the Gaza agreement.
Israel does not control President Trump, JD Vance affirms at TPUSA event
Vance was referring to a question as to Israel‘s alleged influence over US President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy.
„Iâm a Christian man, and Iâm just confused why thereâs this notion that we might owe Israel something or that they are our greatest ally or that we have to support this multi-hundred-billion dollar foreign aid package to Israel to cover this – to quote Charlie Kirk – ethnic cleansing in Gaza,“ the student asked.
FULL REMARKS: Erika Kirk at Charlie Kirk funeral
Erika Kirkâs remarks at Charlie Kirkâs memorial service Sept. 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Charlie Kirk DMâd me before he was murdered. Hereâs what he said
Things were seriously heading off the rails.
Then â in the middle of all this â Charlie Kirk reached out.
He invited me to come on his show to talk with him. He wrote:
âHey, Van, I mean it, Iâd love to have you on my show to have a respectful conversation about crime and race. I would be a gentleman as I know you would be as well. We can disagree about the issues agreeably.â
Unfortunately, before I could even respond, Charlie Kirk was killed â seemingly assassinated for the words heâs spoken, though the killerâs exact motives are still being investigated.

Charlie Kirkâs memorial is scheduled for Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The event will include speeches from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk and others.
Clearing the air regarding the Hamptons trip with Charlie Kirk and Bill Ackman.
(September 16, 2025)
Whatâs true:
1. Yes, dozens of influencers including myself were invited to an event by Charlie and his team, not by Bill Ackman. Charlie wanted to get to know rising conservative voices and where we stood on various issues.
2. The subject matters were primarily about the following topics: Islamâs growing presence in the West, marriage/dating, Mamdani, right wing in-fighting, the economy, and various narratives regarding Israel
3. Charlie wanted to see us respectfully debate him and each other. There was a RANGE of views there on every topic. He wanted to learn our perspectives and analyzed our debating skills from an objective POV.
He started each topic with a provocative statement to encourage the creators to debate. EXAMPLE: One of the topics he started by saying (rough quote) âIf I were to post right now âBibi Netanyahu needs to resign,â what would be the reaction?â This of course led to a number of responses. Someone said the post would indirectly empower Hamas and Charlie responded that her statement was âmoral blackmailâ and that if she wants to debate the topic of Israel, she needs to work on using more facts and less emotion.
Billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel âinterventionâ with Charlie Kirk, sources say
(September 15, 2025)
A month before Charlie Kirkâs killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others âhammeredâ Kirk for the conservative leaderâs growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli âblackmail,â sources say, as he began attending Catholic mass.
I am proceeding cautiously because of what @charliekirk11 describes here.
(October 14, 2023)
The Israel-Gaza border is one of the most secure borders on the planet, Israel/US have some of the best intelligence on the planet, Iron Dome went down, and Israel were warned an attack might happen.
Combine this with how quickly Israel escalated and seemingly eager to remove not just Hamas, but the entire Palestinian population from Gaza.
Israeli intelligence also seem to be back working all the sudden after ignoring warnings from Egypt and failing to stop the Hamas attacks. They went from not having any idea whatâs going on, to dropping air strikes all over supposed Hamas positions, taking out over 1,900 Palestinian civilians along the way (according to UN).
Cui bono? Who stands to gain from this? Certainly not Hamas or Palestine. But Israel now have the unwavering support to bomb Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, civilians, whatever the hell they want. If Israel wanted an excuse to take control of Palestinian land, it would behoove them to let an attack like this happen.
Same concept as 9/11.
Then you take into account the already massive amounts of atrocity propaganda. The beheading babies hoax significantly influenced the emotions of the world, and helped Israel convince the public that their coming response is justified, no matter how many civilians they killed with collateral damage. They have convinced much of the American public that all Palestinians are subhuman savages that deserve to be exterminated, even the children. All based on WILDLY exaggerated claims that have since been debunked. But the damage is already done.
All of these happenings are the textbook precursors to genocide, and it appears that it has already begun, and many Americans are cheering it on.
Yes, Hamas terrorists killed civilians, but if you think the story stops there, you havenât been paying attention.
Leftist Sydney Sweeney Gaslighting, and New Russiagate Revelations, w/ Charlie Kirk & Shellenberger
(August 6, 2025)
Then Charlie Kirk, founder of âTurning Point USA,â joins to discuss Beyonce‘s new Levi‘s ad portraying a faker look than the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads, the leftist meltdown about the Sweeney campaign compared to their praise of Beyonce, the attempt to gaslight about the Sydney Sweeney backlash as a fake MAGA controversy, the truth about the left‘s coverage of the campaign as using Nazi imagery and promoting white supremacy, some Israel supporters demanding their 100% support for Israel at all times, some attacking their moral character and trying to dictate their coverage, outrageous accusations of antisemitism,
Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place.
(September 10, 2025)
We lost an incredible human being.
His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact.
Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk
