The late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk previously advocated for the death penalty on several occasions, arguing it should apply broadly in murder cases rather than only in the most extreme circumstances.Officials on Friday identified Tyler Robinson, 22, as the suspect in Kirk's assassination on a Utah college campus. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the state intends to pursue the death penalty if the case goes to trial, while President Donald Trump also voiced support, saying he hopes Robinson receives the death penalty if found guilty.WHO IS TYLER ROBINSON? WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK'S SUSPECTED ASSASSINEarlier this year, Kirk discussed his stance on capital punishment during an exchange with a student that was captured in a video posted to Turning Point USAs YouTube channel. Kirk was asked about how he could support a "limited government" while also believing it should have the power to execute people."I believe in a small but strong government and, for the record, I believe that someone who took a life should have their life taken," Kirk told the student."Under every circumstance?" the student asks Kirk.CHARLIE KIRK ANSWERED 'HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED' LESS THAN 3 MONTHS BEFORE KILLING"Under most, yeah," Kirk responds.The student countered that the death penalty should be reserved for extreme instances, such as school shootings, mass murders and crimes against humanity, but not for what she described as "eye-for-an-eye nonsense.""Why is it that if you kill 10 people, such a morally different thing than killing one person?" Kirk asks the student, arguing that even people who claim to oppose the death penalty occasionally make exceptions.FOX NEWS PERSONALITIES OFFER EMOTIONAL TRIBUTES TO CHARLIE KIRK: 'HE LOVED AMERICA SO MUCH'"We as conservatives try to strive for blind justice," Kirk said. "Those on the left will argue for social justice. We, as conservatives, believe in the ideal that you shall not favor the administrative justice just because of your skin color, background, wealth, so on and so forth."Similarly in 2024, during an episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, the conservative activist and his co-hosts debated capital punishment, including what age children should be before witnessing an execution, and whether such exposure would reduce crime, Newsweek reported at the time."Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised," Kirk said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPKirk, a 31-year-old husband and father, was fatally shot Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his "American Comeback Tour."

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told House investigators that she did not see a change in former President Joe Bidens competency over several years, but she acknowledged that he was "not the same speaker he was when she met him."Jean-Pierre was the latest in a string of former Biden White House officials to be interviewed by House Oversight Committee investigators over an alleged cover-up of the ex-presidents mental acuity.She did not speak to reporters on her way into the interview just off Capitol Hill, nor did she speak after the nearly five-hour, closed-door transcribed interview.KARINE JEAN-PIERRE ARRIVES FOR HOUSE OVERSIGHT GRILLING IN BIDEN AUTOPEN PROBEBut a source familiar with the interview shared with Fox News Digital that Jean-Pierre told investigators that while working for Biden in various capacities from 2009 to 2025, "she did not see a change in President Bidens competency.""She did acknowledge President Biden is not the same speaker he was when she met him," the source noted. "She does not know why his speaking changed and never asked him."Jean-Pierre, who is one of the most high-profile figures from the Biden administration to appear before the committee, was among those who publicly defended Biden after his June 2024 debate against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.During the debate, Jean-Pierre said she was told by "senior staff that President Biden had a cold," the source said.Shortly after the debate, she told reporters at a press briefing in early July that Biden was "as sharp as ever."OVERSIGHT CHAIR DEMANDS JEAN-PIERRE, OTHER FORMER WH STAFF TESTIFY ON ALLEGED BIDEN MENTAL DECLINE COVER-UPJean-Pierre told investigators that talking points were entered into her binder for press briefings by "various advisors," but specifically ones related to Bidens health and mental acuity "were handled exclusively at the senior level."She cited the "cheap fakes" talking point, which at the time, Jean-Pierre charged were people online manipulating videos of Biden to mislead the public on his health and cognitive ability. She told investigators that point in particular "appeared as a talking point in her binder, but she does not know specifically who added it."She also said that she never spoke with anyone in the White House "personally concerned about President Bidens health."Jean-Pierre began her role as White House press secretary in 2022, shortly after former White House press secretary Jen Psaki left the position, and she stayed on until the end of Bidens presidency in January.But her relationship with Biden-world became estranged after her departure from the Democratic Party earlier this year, which was announced in a press release for her forthcoming book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines."KARINE JEAN-PIERRE ABANDONS DEMS AFTER YEARS FIERCELY DEFENDING BIDEN POLICIESJean-Pierres appearance before investigators came as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said earlier this week that his panels ongoing probe into Biden's use of an autopen was coming to its conclusion.The focus in particular was whether top officials engaged in a cover-up of Biden's mental and physical state in the White House, and whether any executive actions or a litany of pardons were approved via autopen without the then-president's full awareness.Comer said heading into the hearing that one of the questions at the top of his mind were whether "these pardons and executive orders [are] legal?""I don't think anyone's going to argue that the process that was used for these autopens is the ideal process," Comer said. "And what we've seen with the emails that have surfaced in the last week even the Merrick Garland Department of Justice was very concerned about how this administration was using the autopen.""When people in the Department of Justice email people who they believe were the ones making the decisions on the autopen," he continued. "And asked the question via email from the Department of Justice, Does the president even know who they just pardoned? I mean, that's very concerning."Fox News Digital reached out to Jean-Pierre's lawyers and Biden's office but did not immediately receive a response.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, celebrities on both sides of the aisle are calling for change.Kirk, who was killed Wednesday during a speaking engagement in Orem, Utah, was a well-known conservative activist. Despite the often heated political climate in Hollywood, it seems one thing many can agree on is that there's no justification for this type of violence.Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former Republican governor of California who in recent years has been extremely critical of the party, took to social media following the shooting to urge people to come together in the wake of the tragedy.JILLIAN MICHAELS DESCRIBES CHARLIE KIRK'S POWERFUL IMPACT ON HER TEENAGE SON"My heart is with Charlie Kirks family, and with the United States," he wrote on X. "Politics has become a disease in this country, and its deadly. But dont listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we cant agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we dont solve our debates with violence."Schwarzenegger added, "This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity."Actor Josh Duhamel took a similar stance. He posted a photo of Kirk with his wife and two children on Instagram with the caption, "RIP Charlie Kirk. Please remember, no matter what your political beliefs, that this man had a wife and 2 beautiful children who no longer have him. Please pray for this madness to stop."Jillian Michaels, who told Fox News Digital that she's personally "more centrist," shared on X following the shooting that even though she and Kirk "did not see eye to eye on certain topics," he still welcomed her to events and onto his podcast."The hatred that has seeped into our culture must stop," she wrote. "If we give in to this anger, if we allow hate to breed hate, we lose not only lives but our very humanity. We have got to reject this darkness in our media, in our politics, and within ourselves. Let's take the pain of this loss as a solemn call to ensure it never happens again. All of our leaders on both sides of the aisle, of all colors, all genders, and all orientations need to set a better example. Come together. Choose empathy, understanding, and unity in honor of Charlie, for the sake of our culture, and the well-being of generations to come. Rest in peace, Charlie."WATCH: JILLIAN MICHAELS SHARES HER SON'S LAST WISH FOR CHARLIE KIRKActress Melissa Gilbert posted about Kirk on Instagram shortly after the news of the shooting broke.The "Little House on the Prairie" star wrote in part, "I've never agreed with Mr. Kirk but I do believe in his (and everyone's) right to express himself without the fear of being shot."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

The Florida Department of Education plans to investigate any teachers in the state who engage in "vile, sanctionable behavior" related to the Wednesday assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk."It has been brought to my attention that some Florida educators have posted despicable comments on social media regarding the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk," Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas wrote in a memo sent out to state school superintendents and shared with Fox News Digital.He added, "These few are not a reflection of the great, high-quality teachers who make up the vast majority of Floridas educators.

"The rest is just legal details."Lucius Q apologized for Sharpe's remarks and said they "do not reflect the feelings of the current owners, investors, management or our incredible staff.""As husbands, fathers, wives and mothers ourselves, we'd like to personally apologize to the family of Charlie Kirk. We take our commitment to the city of Cincinnati seriously and look forward to earning back its business."Backlash has continued to mount, with more than 4,000 people slamming Sharpe on the restaurant's X account and posting dozens of one-star reviews on Lucius Q's Google reviews page.Though the restaurant described him as a "minority owner," a 2019 article from Northern Kentucky University described how Sharpe began looking for a side business while working as a station manager for WNKU, a Cincinnati radio station.He and friend Jeff Keate later tapped Shane Spears to help launch Lucius Q in 2018.The restaurant was featured in a 2020 episode of celebrity chef Guy Fieri's Food Network show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEA now-deleted LinkedIn profile apparently belonging to Sharpe described him as a "communicator" and "community builder."His Facebook profile also said he previously worked as a disc jockey and announcer for the Cincinnati Reds.

Congressional Republicans approval rating outperforms their Democratic counterparts for the second time this year, according to the latest Fox News national survey.Thirty-three percent of registered voters approve of the job Democrats in Congress are doing (66% disapprove), up 3 points from a near record-low 30% in March.While their Republican colleagues garner a higher 38% approval rating (61% disapproval), thats down 5 points from a record-high 43% six months ago.The decline in congressional Republican approval comes from within: 76% of self-identified GOPers approve, but thats down from 88% in March. And while congressional Democrats earn the approval from just 58% of self-identified Democrats, thats up from 49% six months ago.FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMPS RATINGS ARE STRONG ON BORDER SECURITY, WEAK ON THE ECONOMYThe survey, released Friday, was completed before the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.Among all figures and groups tested, the congressional parties rank at the bottom. By contrast, 49% approve of both Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and ICE, while 46% approve of President Donald Trump and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS WANT GREATER INVOLVEMENT IN UKRAINE, SUPPORT CURRENT APPROACH IN ISRAELThe survey also asks about a range of policy ideas. The most popular are providing a valid form of photo identification to vote (84% favor vs. 16% oppose), banning members of Congress from trading stocks (75% favor vs. 24% oppose), banning cellphones in K-12 classrooms (65% vs. 34%), and allowing U.S. citizens to vote by mail (63% vs. 36%).Voters are split on banning the purchase of candy and soft drinks with SNAP funds or food stamps (50% favor vs. 49% oppose) and narrowly oppose ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the federal government (46% favor vs. 52% oppose). Theres also significant opposition to allowing transgender students to use their bathroom of choice (34% favor vs. 64% oppose) and flag burning (31% say it should be legal vs. 67% illegal).There is partisan consensus on several issues, with majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents favoring banning members of Congress from trading stocks, prohibiting cellphones in classrooms, thinking flag burning should be illegal, and requiring photo identification to vote."Contrary to the conventional wisdom, Republicans and Democrats agree on several consequential issues," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News surveys alongside Democrat Chris Anderson. "The data also show the president does not pick his fights as haphazardly as some suggest. There is a broad consensus in support of voter ID and opposition to flag burning and transgender bathrooms, issues that invoke patriotism or protecting our kids."Trumps highest approval ratings are on his handling of border security (57% approve), followed by crime and public safety (50%), and immigration (47%). Fewer approve on Ukraine (40%), the economy (39%), Russia (36%), tariffs (36%), and cost of living (32%).Overall, 46% approve of the job Trump is doing as president while 54% disapprove unchanged since June.Although voters say flag burning should be illegal by a wide 36-point margin, the number saying it should be legal (31%) is up 10 points from 20 years ago. That comes mostly from increases among Democrats (+17 points), voters under age 30 (+11), and independents (+10), as well as a small bump among Republicans (+5).CLICK HERE FOR CROSSTABS AND TOPLINEConducted Sept. 6-9, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,004 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (119) and cellphones (638) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (247). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of 3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher.In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.
