The MASSIVE Security Failures That Led to Charlie Kirk's Assassination

This all leads to the obvious question that I raised right before we said goodbye to Jack, which is why wasn't the roof covered? Why wasn't the roof being protected and patrolled? Why 14 months after Butler was Charlie so exposed like a sitting duck down below? And we do know some of the answers around that. I have spoken to Turning Point myself directly. I did right after Charlie was killed. And they were asking those same questions, and they were told by Charlie's security team that the UVU cops said they had it, that the UVU cops said that they would be patrolling the rooftop. And we heard testimony to that effect exactly from the head of Charlie's security team at Turning Point USA, a man named Brian Harpool, who went on with Sean Ryan and showed the text exchanges between himself and the chief of the UVU police force, according to Harpool. And here is what Brian Harpool told Sean Ryan. Here's how him describing it. We have some correspondence with the chief of the school on that day, on Monday before Charlie was killed. And why this hadn't come out and why he won't stand up like a man and admit this, I don't know. But he's watching a bunch of men lose their careers, and he's okay with it. On Monday before, this correspondence went to Chief Long. Hello, Chief Long. We received this message today from the student group. There is a student roof access pretty close to where CK will be set up at the Utah Valley, the Sorenson Center. It has a couple of staircases that go up to walkways on the roofs. He comes back, and for edification, the Sorenson Center was the building in front of the Lucy Center. And he comes back, he says, you want access to the roof, and came back and said, I was told students have access above us. 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. He comes back, and his last correspondence was, I got you covered. What else am I to do? When a command level person from an accredited police department says, I've got this area. Jeez. Have you been in con? Who is that? That was the chief of police for the UVU Police Department. We've called him. He's never called us back. Holy ----. I mean, it's chilling. And I'd love to hear from that man directly. I'm sure he sleeps very poorly at night, asking himself why he didn't have it covered. After all, there's a separate question of whether that excused Brian Harpool and the Turning Point security team from making sure it was covered, because they ultimately were responsible for Charlie's security. My own view on it, having met a bunch of those guys, I don't think I've met him, is that any one of them would have happily given their life to protect Charlie. Absolutely would have given their life in a heartbeat to protect Charlie. I think this guy trusted the wrong group of people. And I don't know. I've asked various members of my own security team about this sound, but it's been out there for months. Just shooting the breeze saying, what did you make of that? After the interview came out, do you think that's an okay stance? Do you think he's got a point? I have to tell you, I have yet to find the security person who thinks, what am I to do when the guy says he's got it covered? Pretty much everybody, and maybe it's just 20-20 hindsight, says, no, you make sure. When you're the one getting paid to protect a principal, it's your job to make sure everything is covered, and you follow up, and you make sure, and 14 months after Butler, you make super sure about the roofs. And I believe that because the first question virtually all of us asked after Charlie was killed was, how could he be killed from the roof 14 months after Butler? How? How could the roof be left unprotected? And it looks like he did think of it. The team did think of it, and they trusted where they shouldn't have. That's how it looks to me. I'm not an expert. I'm not a security expert. I just know what I saw. And it's heartbreaking because, again, these guys are in the business of protection, and I know they loved Charlie. I know they did. I saw them days after this happened, and not him again, but the guys I saw were absolutely distraught over what had happened to him. So it's just so unfortunate. And look, Charlie's death was caused by his killer, but anybody who's ever been exposed to a security threat had questions about how he was so exposed, myself included as his friend and as somebody who has her own security threats. And Charlie and I had spoken about the security threats that we were facing, so it's chilling to me that one did come to fruition in his life. I keep thinking about Erica telling me about how he didn't sleep well the night before, and she said he got up, and so Charlie, he got a snack. She said he had a banana and olives. Charlie was so wholesome. He was so wholesome. At Charlie's Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, she talked about how Charlie would only have ice cream, I think she said twice a year. It was either once a year or twice a year. But I think once was on his birthday, and the other time was on the 4th of July. He would allow himself some ice cream. He was just so wholesome. He was so committed to wellness, mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical. And you do wonder whether he had some sort of a premonition before that event that his wellness was in jeopardy.
