New Report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Utah Valley University leaders and its police chief repeatedly tried to raise security concerns ahead of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s scheduled appearance on campus last year.

But, according to a much-anticipated independent review released Friday, Kirk’s team brushed those warnings off.

The report says school staff suggested a few weeks before the Sept. 10, 2025, event that Turning Point USA should move it to a more secure location. The organization, though, insisted on having it in the open campus courtyard.

UVU also requested an estimated attendee count, but Turning Point USA, which contended that it would control ticketing for the event, never provided that number, the report states.

Shortly before the event, the university’s police chief, Jeff Long, personally texted Kirk’s private security adviser to meet about final safety measures. That meeting, according to the review, “did not occur.” (Read more from “New report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns” HERE)

Charlie Kirk’s Family Signals Intent to Sue Utah Valley University, School’s Police Department, Chief Jeffrey Long, Others

/2 Comments/in , /by

The family of slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has signaled their intent to sue Utah Valley University and the school’s police department, among others, citing “a series of stunning failures and reckless decisions” that ended in the conservative icon’s assassination last year.

The Kirk family has filed a Notice of Claim against the State of Utah, Utah Valley University (UVU), the Utah Valley University Police Department, Chief Jeffrey Long, and Astrid Tuminez, who was UVU’s president at the time of the assassination, as well as potentially others.

Dangers posed by accessible rooftops on campus went unaddressed — despite repeated warnings — Turning Point USA (TPUSA) said in a statement to Breitbart News, citing a text exchange between TPUSA staff and Utah Valley University Police Department Chief Jeffrey Long.

“Hello Chief Long — we received this message today from the student group…. ‘there is student roof access pretty close to where [Charlie Kirk] will be set up at Utah Valley,’” TPUSA staff wrote to Chief Long.

In their exchange, the TPUSA official added, “If this is true, it would be nice to either have it controlled access or allow one of my guys to be there as well. If Possible,” to which Chief Long replied, “I got you covered,” according to the filing.

Droves of Subscribers Cancel Netflix After ‘Neck Injury’ Joke on One-Year Anniversary of Charlie Kirk Assassination

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Droves of Netflix subscribers are announcing they have canceled their memberships after the streaming giant made a “neck injury” joke on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“Nearly did himself a neck injury,” Netflix’s official UK and Ireland X account quipped in a Thursday caption, sharing a photo of a male character from The Gentlemen apparently straining his neck to get a better view of a woman.

The joke about a man having a “neck injury,” however, was posted on September 10, the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot in the neck while trying to have an open and respectful dialogue with a student at Utah Valley University.

Viewers were quick to notice the veiled jab, resulting in a slew of social media users taking to the comment section of Netflix UK & Ireland’s post to announce they are canceling their subscriptions.

“Cancel Netflix completely,” Jack Posobiec — conservative commentator and a close friend of Kirk’s — demanded.

What A Key Witness Knew About Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

/12 Comments/in , /by

Lance Twiggs, Tyler Robinson’s roommate and alleged transgender lover, testified that Robinson admitted to him that he killed Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

Twiggs’ recorded testimony was played in a Provo, Utah, courtroom Thursday. During an audio-only section of the interview, Twiggs is shown an exhibit in which Robinson texted Twiggs that he was the individual who killed the late conservative activist. Twiggs was asked about his first interaction with Robinson after receiving this text. “I asked him if what he said in the text was true, he said it was.”

The roommate and alleged lover added that Robinson stated, at the time, that “He wishes he hadn’t done it.”

Twiggs also testified that the photos from Utah Valley University (UVU) surveillance footage, which were published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), “do look like Tyler Robinson.”

“Especially the last two definitely do look like him,” he stated.

Twiggs’ testimony also appears to have confirmed the timeline of events leading up to Kirk’s death. He testified that Robinson left their Saint George, Utah apartment at approximately 4 a.m. The drive from Saint George to Utah Valley University is about 3 hours and 45 minutes, which aligns with surveillance video showing Robinson arriving at UVU around 8 a.m. (Read more from “What A Key Witness Knew About Charlie Kirk’s Assassination” HERE)

Six Biggest Revelations To Come Out Of The Charlie Kirk Murder Preliminary Hearing So Far

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, began Monday in a Provo, Utah, courtroom.

Charlie Kirk’s parents and widow Erika have been present for the first two days of the proceedings. Day three is set to begin at 1 p.m. MDT on Wednesday. So far, the hearing has focused primarily on which evidence will be admitted and whether there is enough evidence to justify moving forward with a full jury trial.

Here are the main developments from the hearing thus far:

1. Surveillance Footage

Never-before-seen surveillance footage was admitted as evidence and appears to show Robinson visiting the Utah Valley University campus four separate times on Sept. 10 and into the early hours of Sept. 11. Robinson allegedly scouted the scene, got food and returned in new clothing, at which point he allegedly shot Kirk. He returned again around 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 11.

The video shows Robinson walking around campus, including on the Losee Center roof, as well as what is allegedly Robinson’s car driving around campus. The defense brought up whether or not Robinson was in fact carrying something when he was seen running off the roof of the Losee Center after the shot was fired. Due to the distance from the camera and the quality of the footage, it was extremely difficult to determine whether he was carrying a rifle-shaped object.

Teacher Receives Almost $300K Settlement over Charlie Kirk Assassination Post

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Georgia teacher Michelle Mickens settled her lawsuit with the Oglethorpe County School District on Wednesday after claiming she was unfairly punished over quotes related to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

In October, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) filed a lawsuit on behalf of Mickens after she was placed on indefinite leave and reportedly encouraged to resign for making controversial comments about Kirk’s assassination on her private Facebook page in September.

“I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.- Charlie Kirk,” her initial post read.

Mickens later took part in a discussion with a Facebook friend who disagreed with her post, where she condemned political violence but added that the world was “safer” without Kirk.

“Yeah, you took this way too far. You make a lot of horrible assumptions here, but that says more about you than it does about me. I don’t condone violence of any kind, and I certainly don’t condone this, but he was a horrible person, a fascist full of hate for anyone who was different,” Mickens wrote.

Trump’s Explosive Secret Call with Charlie Kirk over Epstein just Weeks Before TPUSA Boss’ Assassination

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump ‘scolded’ Charlie Kirk over his criticism of the administration’s handling of the Epstein files, according to an upcoming book.

Trump told aides he was unhappy with Kirk, along with other influential supporters, for framing the botched release of the files as a ‘cover-up’ and pleading for further disclosure. . .

Kirk hosted a Turning Point USA event on July 11 that became a platform for young MAGA supporters to bash then-Attorney General Pam Bondi and her handling of the Epstein files.

Trump later called Kirk to reprimand him, according to Regime Change, the book by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

Days after Trump’s reported call with Kirk, the TPUSA co-founder changed his tune.

‘Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m going to trust my friends in the administration, I’m going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it – ball’s in their hands,’ he said on his show on July 14.

Charlie Kirk Reportedly Chose His Successor to Lead Turning Point USA Weeks before His Assassination

/0 Comments/in , /by

Charlie Kirk reportedly named his preferred successor at Turning Point USA just weeks before his assassination. The Daily Mail cited social media accounts and videos to report that the conservative activist was at a private donor retreat in Aspen, Colorado, in August 2025 when he answered a question about his plan, in case something happened to him. As expected, Kirk named his wife Erika as the one he trusts to carry his mission forward.

“What a great question,” Kirk reportedly responded before explaining his vision for TPUSA’s future leadership.“I appoint my wife to run Turning Point USA if something happens to me. Erika would do a great job,” he said during the gathering.

The remarks gained renewed attention months after Kirk was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. Eight days later, TPUSA’s board unanimously voted to appoint Erika Kirk as the organization’s new CEO.

The Aspen retreat footage has never been publicly released, though Daily Mail reported it reviewed the full recording and spoke with multiple donors who were allegedly present during the event. Several attendees reportedly told the outlet they clearly remembered Kirk naming Erika as his preferred successor. . .

Despite those accounts, Owens has publicly questioned the legitimacy of the audio played during TPUSA’s AmericaFest convention introducing Erika as CEO. (Read more from “Charlie Kirk reportedly chose his successor to lead Turning Point USA weeks before his assassination” HERE)

Judge hits Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin with Key Decisions in Death Penalty Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Judge Tony Graf Jr. pushed accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing into July and rejected a bid to ban cameras from the courtroom, marking significant pretrial developments in the high-profile case.

Graf moved the preliminary hearing to July 6 through July 10, and denied Robinson’s motion to ban cameras and electronic media from the courtroom, allowing continued media coverage as the case moves forward.

The delay comes as both sides continue to receive and process a large and growing volume of evidence. Prosecutors told the court discovery is ongoing, including materials from federal agencies, while the defense said it recently received another batch of roughly 1,600 files.

Graf said the continuance was necessary to ensure Robinson’s attorneys have adequate time to review the evidence, calling it important to protect the defendant’s constitutional right to effective counsel.

At the same time, the judge acknowledged the competing interests of the victim’s family and the public in seeing the case move forward without unnecessary delay. (Read more from “Judge hits Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin with Key Decisions in Death Penalty Case” HERE)

Bullet Used to Kill Charlie Kirk did NOT Match Rifle Allegedly used by Suspect Tyler Robinson, New Court Filing Claims

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle used by suspected killer Tyler Robinson, a bombshell new court filing states.

Robinson, 22, is facing capital murder charges and a potential death sentence for Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University on September 10.

But his defense attorneys now argue that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ‘was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson.’ . . .

It also notes that DNA reports filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ATF will take time for the defense team to analyze because reports indicated that several different DNA were found on some items of evidence.

‘As these cases indicate, determining the number of contributors to a DNA mixture and determining whether the FBI and the ATF reliably applied validated and correct scientific procedures… is a complicated process which requires the assistance of various types of experts, including forensic biologists, geneticists, system engineers and statisticians, all of whom must review and evaluate’ several different categories, the filing states, according to Deseret News.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin’s defense team reveals who will be called to testify: court docs

By Fox News. Attorneys for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk, have revealed who prosecutors intend to call to the stand and also asked the court to delay the preliminary hearing.

The filing, made by defense attorneys on Friday, states that prosecutors intend to call Robinson’s parents and his roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, to testify at the preliminary hearing. Robinson’s defense team is also asking the judge for a minimum six-month delay for the preliminary hearing, which is currently scheduled for May 18.

Robinson’s defense team said that defense attorneys received over 600,000 files from prosecutors during a meeting on March 12, which she says will take time to review. She also noted that the discovery isn’t complete yet.

“Discovery in this case is incomplete, voluminous, and the processing of it is complex,” the defense team wrote.

One of the defense’s experts, a forensic biologist, said she’d need six months to review the evidence. (Read more from “Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin’s defense team reveals who will be called to testify: court docs” HERE)
