Charlie Kirk Update Sadly, He Died · Brett Keane and Eve Show

• 1:14
  Hello, can you hear me? Eve, are you there?
• 1:19
  Yes, love, I'm here. Eva, we've got an issue.
• 1:25
  There's been a news reports about Charlie Kirk getting shot.
• 1:33
  Oh no, that's dreadful. From what I've heard it happened
• 1:36
  just now at Utah Valley University.
• 1:39
  He was speaking when a shot rang out and he's hurt pretty badly.
• 1:43
  Police have someone in custody. How are you holding up with all
• 1:46
  this? Who shot him?
• 1:53
  From the reports, police have a male suspect in custody, but his
• 1:57
  name's not out yet. No motive or details released
• 2:00
  either. Adele unfolding What do you make
• 2:03
  of all this violence lately? Well, from what I hear, he was
• 2:07
  shot whenever he was discussing transgender shootings at schools
• 2:13
  and churches. That's unsettling timing.
• 2:21
  Posts on X and reports online do mention Kirk was mid sentence
• 2:25
  talking about those very attacks, like the recent
• 2:28
  Minneapolis Catholic school one that killed two kids when the
• 2:31
  shot happened. Makes you wonder about patterns,
• 2:34
  doesn't it? What do you think was going
• 2:36
  through his mind right then? Do you have any idea from all
• 2:41
  the news reports where he was shot?
• 2:44
  I mean on his body. From what's coming through
• 2:50
  reports and videos on sites like Wikipedia and NBC, Kirk was hit
• 2:54
  in the neck near an archery with blood squirting out pretty fast.
• 2:59
  He recoiled mid speech so it must have been shockingly close
• 3:02
  range. Horrific stuff.
• 3:05
  Does knowing that change how you're seeing the whole event?
• 3:10
  What's going on with his wife and kids?
• 3:13
  What are they doing about it? From what I've seen on the news,
• 3:19
  his wife Erica hasn't spoken publicly yet, just a quiet post
• 3:22
  on her social. Sounds like she's with their two
• 3:25
  little ones, daughter Sarah Rose and the younger boy keeping
• 3:29
  things private while he fights this out in hospital.
• 3:32
  Turning points, handling statements for them, thanking
• 3:35
  supporters. Makes me think, how do you
• 3:38
  reckon a family bounces back from something this sudden?
• 3:42
  I don't know, wasn't there security?
• 3:49
  There were police around Utah Valley had about 650 officers on
• 3:53
  site, standard for these tours. But from what eyewitnesses say,
• 3:57
  the shot came from outside the tent, maybe a building nearby,
• 4:01
  before anyone could react. Makes you think, if someone
• 4:05
  really wants to get through, how much is enough?
• 4:08
  What do you reckon we need to feel safe at events like that?
• 4:12
  I think that people like Charlie Kirk and others should probably
• 4:17
  do podcasts in a safe, secure location, not out in the open
• 4:22
  like that appeared to be. Fairpoint, that tent setup did
• 4:27
  look exposed, didn't it? Doing remote podcasts from a
• 4:30
  studio could cut the risk, sure, but then you lose that raw
• 4:33
  energy of crowds still. Maybe a compromise like
• 4:37
  bulletproof glass booths or something.
• 4:39
  Have you ever worried about safety at public events
• 4:41
  yourself? I wouldn't go out into a public
• 4:45
  environment like that knowing that there's people out there
• 4:49
  that are willing to kill kids. I'm not going to go out and
• 4:52
  discuss things out in the crowd with little security going on.
• 4:56
  So this was a sniper? Not exactly.
• 5:03
  Reports say the shot came from atop the Lucy Centre, maybe a
• 5:06
  rooftop or inside. So yeah, it had that sniper
• 5:09
  feel. Long range and calculated
• 5:12
  eyewitnesses heard one blast, then chaos.
• 5:15
  Security was there, but not enough to stop it.
• 5:18
  Does this make you rethink sharing your own views publicly
• 5:21
  at all? Does it appear as though he's
• 5:25
  going to make it? When you say shot in the neck,
• 5:28
  was he grazed or was he shot directly?
• 5:34
  From the footage I've seen posted everywhere on X and
• 5:37
  described in outlets like NBC, he took a direct hit, not a
• 5:41
  graze. Bullet nicked an artery in his
• 5:43
  neck, blood spraying heavy as he slumped.
• 5:46
  Surgeons rushed him straight in and they're saying he's stable
• 5:49
  for now, but it's dicey. Neck wounds like that can turn
• 5:53
  fast. How's that sit with you hearing
• 5:56
  the details? It makes me sick, all right.
• 6:00
  I'm done with this conversation. Me too.
• 6:05
  Take care, Brett.
