Charlie Kirk's last YouTube video shows eerie final debate at university
Charlie Kirk’s last YouTube video shows his eerie final debate at a university.
The political commentator died earlier this week after being shot on stage during an appearance at a university.
Kirk, who was known for his outspoken right-wing views, was answering questions to a 3,000-strong crowd at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday (September 10).
It was all part of his ‘American Comeback’ tour and he was due to appear later this month at various campuses including Colorado State University, University of Minnesota, and Virginia Tech.

During his talk in Utah, Kirk was asked by an audience member: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years?”
Kirk replied: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
A shot could be heard immediately after and videos captured the political pundit falling from his seat after being struck in his neck.
It was later confirmed that Kirk had died from his injuries sustained in the gunshot wound.
The shooter remains at large and an FBI manhunt is underway in a bid to track the culprit down.
Now, a video uploaded to Kirk’s YouTube channel on the same day as the shooting shows what would be his final debate before the incident.
Appearing in the clip at the University of California San Diego, Kirk debated on various moral issues including abortion and immigration.
In the clip, Kirk could be seen throwing MAGA hats into the crowd while debating with students.
Vice President JD Vance flew to Utah yesterday (September 11) alongside his wife Usha Vance to transport Kirk’s casket back to his home state of Arizona with his wife Erika Kirk.
Following his death, President Donald Trump released a statement on his own social media platform Truth Social, saying: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
The FBI has since released images of a person of interest and made a plea to the public for any information.
New developments have also come through, including the recovering of a weapon believed to have been used in the shooting.
A source from law enforcement has also claimed that bullets found in the rifle appeared to be engraved with messages ‘of transgender and antifascist ideology’.
