FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Frank Turek:
There. Now, here’s what Erica wants me to relate on Sunday. This is gonna be the hard part, but maybe also the comforting part. Charlie Kirk was literally like a son to me. I have three sons. He was like my fourth son.
My three sons are a little bit older than Charlie. He was like my fourth son. So when he was hit, if your son got hit, what would you do? What would you do? I got in the car, ’cause if there was any way I could save him, I had to do something. And I couldn’t just, “Oh, yeah, just take him. You guys got it.”
So they got him into the side of the car, it was an SUV, it was the SUV we took over. And I’m on one side, and there’s actually some video of this, somebody’s taken video of this. I’m on one side of the car, the right side, and they’re getting Charlie in. So I run over to the other side, but the guy who was dragging him in is now blocking that entrance.
So at that point, I run around to the back, I pop the back gate open and I jump in the back. The car lurches forward. Apparently somebody jumped in the car, so the car lurches forward. I almost fall out of the SUV. Then I grab the thing and close it and there’s five of us in the car now. Justin is driving, Dan is up front with the GPS.
Rick has got him, Rick’s on my left and Brian is there, and I’m coming over the back seat and Charlie’s laid out in front, just right in front of me. And Charlie’s so tall we can’t close the door. We drove four miles—something like four miles—all the way to the hospital with the door open. To this day, I don’t know how Brian stayed in the car, ’cause we’re just, “Go, go, go, go, go.” We’re trying to stop the bleeding.
You saw it. And I’m yelling, “Come on, Charlie. Come on. Come on.” Meanwhile, my phone is still on. My son and daughter-in-law are hearing this whole thing. And his security team—again, Justin, Dan, Brian, and Rick—they loved Charlie, but they’re much cooler than I. I mean, they’re just calmly, but swiftly, doing exactly what they were trained to do.
Rick starts praying out loud. I’m praying out loud. We’re yelling, “Come on, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.” My son’s hearing all this and we’re doing the best we can to navigate traffic. This is not a highway. We’re on surface streets.
And suddenly there’s an ambulance coming toward us. And there was conversation in the car, “Should we stop?” We’re like, “No, no. Just keep going, just keep going.” The doctor later said that was the right thing to do. The ambulance goes by us, we’re still heading to the hospital trying to get there. At one point somebody says, “Let’s get there in one piece,” ’cause we’re just cutting through intersections, beeping the horn.
This is not an emergency vehicle. There’s no lights, none of this. And I go, “We gotta start CPR.” So I try and start that. Now Charlie wasn’t there, his eyes were fixed. He wasn’t looking at me, he was looking past me right into eternity.
He was with Jesus already. He was killed instantly and felt absolutely no pain. That’s what I was told later. But, of course, we had to try. And by the way, there was just nothing—nothing any of us could do about it. We were giving him CPR but nothing was happening.
It wasn’t like if we had better first aid or we had better medical facilities or we were faster to the hospital, we could have saved him. We couldn’t. So if that’s any comfort at all, Charlie didn’t suffer. He was gone. He was with Jesus. Absent from the body, present with the Lord.
That’s where he was. Now, it is true, when we got to the hospital and they started working on him right away, they did get a pulse back. And so Rick and I were just—everyone’s praying—we’re just praying for a miracle. We had a small sliver of hope.
And the doctor later said that we got a pulse because Charlie was a very healthy man, but the shot was catastrophic. So twenty or thirty minutes later, the surgeon came out and said he was dead.
He was the man in the white shirt making all those hand-signals, and he categorically denies any wrongdoing:
The viral accusations against Dr. Frank Turek are categorically false. Dr. Turek was at Utah Valley University as part of Charlie Kirk’s team, standing with him as a close friend and mentor. Their bond was marked by deep respect and unwavering support. Like everyone, we want… pic.twitter.com/NonSR8A9OR

In the interest of telling both sides of this story, I do have to report honestly that there are some people online who do not trust Turek or his story, like this person:
“Devil’s Advocate” is a pretty good name for that account I suppose.
I want to be clear I am not saying that is my opinion, but I do agree there were no tears or watery or red eyes. That said, some people just aren’t the crying type.
