Wall Street Apes: Sorensen Center Searches from DC and Israel
What This Video Is
Twenty-six seconds, posted to X by the account Wall Street Apes with the caption "Ohh my god — 12 days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, someone i…". It is a narrated screen recording of the Google Trends interface, with red text captions burned over the top and a small circular inset photograph of a building in the bottom-left corner.
Structurally it is two states of the same dashboard, joined by one cut at the eight-second mark: the same query, first filtered to one region, then to another. There is no other content.
What Is Said
A single male narrator speaks throughout, and the whole script is four sentences.
He opens with the timing claim: "12 days before Charlie Kirk fatally lost his life. Someone in the District of Columbia has a keen interest on looking at the Sorensen Center."
Then the second half: "Also, about the exact same day. In fact, on the same day. In Israel, we have an IP address originating in Israel, on the exact same day that the District of Columbia was looking at the Sorensen Center, someone in Israel is looking at the Sorensen Center."
The Sorensen Student Center is the Utah Valley University building at the courtyard where Kirk was speaking, which is why the query matters to the poster: it reads as somebody looking up the venue.
Note what the narrator does and does not say. He does not name anyone, does not claim to know who ran either query, and does not assert a relationship between the two. He asserts a coincidence of date and geography and leaves the viewer to draw the rest. That is a narrower claim than the framing suggests, and it should be held to the narrower version.
What The Footage Shows
From 0:00 to 0:08 the browser shows a Google Trends query for sorenson center with the location filter set to the District of Columbia. The "Interest over time" line spikes sharply to the top of the chart, and a red caption reads "100 search inquiries August 28, 2025 in D.C."
From 0:08 to 0:26 the same page appears with the location filter changed to Israel. A near-identical spike appears on the same date, and the caption updates to "190 search inquiries August 28, 2025 in Israel."
The circular inset in the corner shows a modern grey multi-storey building, presented as the Sorensen Center.
Two problems are visible on the face of the video, and both belong on this page.
First, the captions misdescribe the chart. The number Google Trends puts on that axis is not a count of searches. It is a relative interest index normalised so that the highest point in the selected window equals 100. "100 search inquiries" is not what the screen says; the screen says the peak of the window. This matters because a peak of 100 against a flat baseline is what a very small number of queries looks like in a region with almost no other traffic for that term — and both DC and Israel are regions where almost nobody would ordinarily search a Utah student union building.
Second, the two captions are not internally consistent. A Trends interest index cannot read 190. If the Israel figure came from the same chart, it cannot be right; if it came from somewhere else, the video does not say where. Either way, the two numbers shown side by side cannot both be readings of the axis on screen.
There is also a smaller arithmetic wobble worth noting for accuracy: the caption date is August 28, 2025, which is thirteen days before September 10, not the twelve the spoken narration claims.
None of that makes the underlying observation worthless. Matching same-day interest in an obscure venue from two specific geographies is the kind of thing that would be worth checking properly. It does mean the video's own numbers cannot be used as stated, and that an IP geolocation identifies a network route rather than a person — a VPN endpoint, a corporate proxy or a cloud region all resolve to a country without telling you who was at the keyboard.
How It Connects
- Google Searches — the hub for this material, which states plainly that Trends "cannot prove who searched or why."
- UVU Campus and Location Searches — the site's page on venue and campus queries, where the Sorensen Center claim belongs.
- Israel IP search patterns — the wider set of Israel-geolocated query claims.
- DC Metro search patterns — the companion set for the other geography in this clip.
- Israeli Search Patterns (Claims) — how this evidence class is weighed on the Israel side of the investigation.
