| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's September 10th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech, alternative to YouTube. |
| 0:27.6 | Tonight, I am certain that most of you, if not all, have heard the tragic news, and it is tragic, that Charlie Kirk, the conservative pro-Trump activist and commentator, was murdered today while he spoke to a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University. |
| 0:42.3 | He was 31 years old and leaves behind his wife and their two young children. |
| 0:47.3 | Although there was video widely circulating of a middle-aged white man being taken into custody by the police with many |
| 0:54.6 | people assuming that was the shooter. Authorities have now exonerated him and have been stating |
| 0:59.5 | clearly that he was not the shooter. In fact, up until about 20 minutes before we went on the air, |
| 1:04.2 | law enforcement was clear that they did not have a shooter or suspect in custody. But about 20 minutes |

| 1:28.9 | Utah law enforcement officials said it was a political assassination. |
| 1:33.0 | I think it's reasonable to consider it to be that, |
| 1:35.7 | even though we don't actually know anything about the shooter, |
| 1:38.3 | even their name, let alone what might have motivated them. |
| 1:40.6 | And I do think that's important to recognize. |
| 1:43.6 | Now, Charlie Kirk was known as a political figure. |
| 1:46.0 | That's why we know him and a highly effective one and also a quite polarizing one. |
| 1:50.0 | So in one sense, it's unsurprising to see his murder being so quickly and overtly politicized, |
| 1:57.0 | either by those disgustingly celebrating it and justifying it and creating theories why it was warranted |
| 2:03.9 | or by those demanding implementation of crackdowns and political repression and the like. |
