'He would've been upset': Chalie Kirk show goes live without him. His chair remains empty

Charlie Kirk's show went live Friday morning as his killer, Tyler Robinson, was taken into custody on several charges, including aggravated murder. "Charlie would've wanted us to be here. He would've been upset if we weren't here. We've left his chair open and empty, because nobody could ever fill it," his friends said on the show, leaving his chair empty.

The Friday episode of Charlie Kirk was a journey down memory lane about the 31-year-old Conservative activist -- by his friends Jack, Tyler, Blake and Andrew. They were all in tears as they were speaking about Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was shot in the neck as he was speaking at Utah Valley University. He was taken to a hospital where he died. The manhunt went on for two days and finally Tyler Robinson was turned in to the police by his father after the shooter suspect confessed to having killed Charlie Kirk to his father. No clear motive has been established as Tyler has not been speaking to the cops. But his family members confirmed that he had grown more political recently. Tyler was openly voicing his dislike for Kirk

Reports confirmed that Tyler was registered in Utah as an unaffiliated voter. He was also listed as "inactive," indicating he had not participated in recent elections, including the November presidential contest, the first since he became eligible to vote.

JUST IN: The Charlie Kirk Show has gone live. Charlie's seat at the table is there - and it's empty.

An absolutely crushing scene. All of them are holding back tears.

What is the Charlie Kirk show ?

It is a daily podcast which used to be hosted by Charlie Kirk. Kirk used to comment on the latest news and any other culture and current events, along with a MAGA guest.

Charlie Kirk's last 24 hours

Moments before he was shot dead, Charlie Kirk was speaking about the Bible. "It’s not just intrabiblical evidence, but extrabiblical evidence that Jesus Christ was a real person, he lived a perfect life, he was crucified, died and rose on the third day, and he is Lord and God over all," Kirk said at the event where he was later shot.

Charlie Kirk's last X post was on Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train. "If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her," he wrote.
