Best understanding of when he said this
Best understanding: Turek’s primary framing is weeks before SEPT 10 (mid–late AUG hump) with a SEPT 9 secondary lane. Domain starts mid-AUG — early-AUG desert removed. Months-apart counter-claim stays in prose.
Date range (working model): Domain: AUG 18–SEPT 10 2025 · Weeks-before hump + SEPT 9 secondary (not early-AUG desert)
The chart below is not a government finding. Bar height is relative likelihood from public claims (X posts, interviews, investigation indexes, master-file notes). Domain is trimmed to where likelihood is non-trivial — no multi-week empty stretch.
What is claimed
The strongest-sourced entry in this index by witness quality. Frank Turek is a named mentor who has described these texts in his own voice, in public interviews, rather than through anonymous leaks. The wording is a prayer request, not an accusation: Kirk reportedly wrote that he knew people wanted him dead and asked to be prayed for.
How it entered the record
- Turek recounts the texts in on-camera interviews after September 10, 2025.
- Commentary compilations pick the phrase up and often merge it with the September 9 material.
- Turek is one of the public figures whose account is cited as contradicting the phone denial (KM-11 context).
Verification status
- A named, identifiable witness stands behind it — the highest bar cleared by anything in this set.
- No screenshot has been published by Turek in the sources reviewed here.
- The wording is about a state of fear, not about a specific plot, date, or named person.
Do not confuse it with
Do not date this to September 9. Turek describes weeks before. A separate day-before exchange attributed to him is tracked as KM-12.
X / Twitter posts on when this was likely said
Exact public claims and implications about timing (not a complete archive — these are the dated anchors used for the likelihood chart above):
- @Villgecrazylady: "Text conversation between Charlie Kirk and Frank Turek in days before Charlie’s murder — CK: “Please pray for me, I’m under the gun…” / FT: security / CK: “I have. I know they want me dead.”"
- @LibertyLockPod: "Frank Turek: Charlie texted me and said "I know they want me dead. I'm under the gun right now please pray for me""
- @nosoup4knowles: "Frank Turek clip was deceptively edited… They were actually texts sent months apart, and "they want me dead" was in response to violence in the news."
- @JenX77X: "Less than 2 months before Charlie’s assassination, Frank Turek said this…"
- Master file receipts list: "Frank also read the email Charlie sent him weeks prior saying the exact same thing. / Day before: “they’re going to take me out.”"
More raw date research is kept in the investigation master file and the on-page X quotes above.

Interesting
- He said the same thing publicly: donor bullying described on air.
- Others were detained that day, including men reportedly released without record.
- The lone-gunman story is only one track among several on the real killer page.
