About This Cluster​

This cluster collects the captured posts in which people who knew Charlie Kirk describe what he told them about threats to his life before September 10, 2025. It is one of the most contested areas of the whole case. Several figures close to Kirk — including mentor Frank Turek, TPUSA's Andrew Kolvet, and Candace Owens — have said publicly that he warned them in the preceding weeks, while Erika Kirk told Glenn Beck's audience that she has his phone and that no such messages exist. Both accounts cannot be right, and screenshots are the only durable form this evidence takes once posts are deleted.

Two posts sit here. In one, Tyler Bowyer of TPUSA writes: "Do you know how many times we discussed the threats that were out there? I probably have seen hundreds of significant threats and we regularly discussed the belief that the deep state and radical regimes were after him. I've been asked zero questions directly by anyone." The line about the deep state and radical regimes is highlighted in the capture. In the other, Harrison H. Smith posts on 8/13/25, roughly four weeks before the shooting: "I'm not gonna name names, but I was told by someone close to Charlie Kirk that Charlie thinks Israel will kill him if he turns against them." Both are secondhand or recollected statements by the posters about what Kirk allegedly believed. They are reported here with attribution and are not treated as proof of any person's involvement or foreknowledge; no living individual is accused of anything on this page.

Read these against the fuller written treatment in Reported Quotes and Warnings and Israel Donors and Motive, then compare them with the message screenshots in Text Msgs and With Candace, where similar claims appear in chat form. For the broader thread these posts feed into, see Israel and Motive.
