1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, conservative and the founder of the powerful right 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: wing activist group Turning Point USA, and of course, a 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: friend of Donald Trump, was fatally shot yesterday Wednesday afternoon 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: while speaking out a university campus event in Utah. A 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: witness said Kirk was debating about gun violence and mass 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: shootings when he was shot in the neck. Kirk was 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: thirty one years old, just thirty one years old. Democratic 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: and Republican leaders were outraged by the killing. Last night, 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the President spoke to the country and said, in part quote, 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Charlie inspired millions, and tonight all who knew him and 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: loved him are united in shock and horror. Trump called 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: for prayers and offered his condolences to Charlie Kirk's family. 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: He had a wife and two young kids. The President 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: ordered all flags to be flown at half staff to 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: honor his friend. The shooter is still at large and 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: the manhunt is underway. Two people were considered suspects but 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: were let go. They had a person of interest in 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: another person that they were both by. 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: Though you know, I didn't agree with much of anything 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: he said, but a person is dead because of what 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: they said. That right there is crazy. That makes no 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: sense at all. And is the guy, whether you agree 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: with him or not. He was a father, he was 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: a husband, He had two little kids. This guy was 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: thirty one years old. You know. He was spot on 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: with some of the stuff he said, but it was 27 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: so much other stuff in there that I found him 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: hard to agree with. But I never wished or would 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: wish that on anybody just because we have a difference 30 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: of opinion. What I don't like is the way they're 31 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: using this for politics. One Republican lady outside in DC, 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: her first thing was, the Democrats have to own this. 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: This is on the Democrats. They should own this. This 34 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: is on you, Democrats. And I was sitting here, going, 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: how is that? How is it on Democrats? What I 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: got to do with this? I'm appalled against it. I'm 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: saddened by it that it has nothing to do with Wow. Man, 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: they jumped on that so fast that it's sickened me. 39 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: But now we are talking about this again. Nobody gonna 40 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: mention gun laws. Nobody gonna nobody I. 41 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: Mean gun laws, gun reformed. There was a school shooting 42 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: in Colorado yesterday. The Minnesota Democratic uh, there was shooting. 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: The Minnesota politicians were killed. It has to be some 44 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: kind of gun reform. 45 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: Violence we live in a sixth country is the problem 46 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: that we're having. And we don't want to address the 47 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: root problem of the sickness that's in America. Yea. And 48 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: if you don't address the root problem, we're gonna keep 49 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: having it.
