If they don't check the boxes, move on and go to the next one. Dating for dating's sake is bad for you, it's bad for them, it's bad for everybody," Kirk said when asked about how he knew Erika was "the one.""Five years ago today, we sat inside Bills Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy, and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, 'I'm going to date you,'" Erika wrote in a social media post in 2023 reflecting on the pair's first date.

MSNBC featured a criminologist on Friday who said she could not identify a clear motive for why conservative activist Charlie Kirks suspected killer targeted him.Criminologist Casey Jordan appeared on "MSNBC Reports" and offered her interpretation of the messages etched into bullet casings found near the suspected shooter Tyler Robinsons weapon. Jordan noted that casings engraved with "Hey fascist! Catch!", and other slogans, did not provide enough of a clue as to why Robinson allegedly shot and killed Kirk, beyond showing hes immature."Im kind of overwhelmed with how immature it all sounds, and that there is no really chronic theme," she said.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKAuthorities said Friday they apprehended Robinson, the suspect accused of shooting and killing 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk while he was speaking to Utah Valley University students Wednesday.Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah, called the killing a "political assassination" on Friday.Law enforcement also recovered the weapon, a bolt-action Mauser .30-06 rifle, along with several spent casings and unfired rounds that had messages on them.The etchings included the phrases, "Notices," "bulges," "OWO," "whats this?," "Hey fascist! Catch!," "Bella ciao bella ciao ciao," "If you read this, you are gay LMAO," and a series of arrows: one pointing up, one pointing to the right, and three pointing down.VIGILS HELD ACROSS US AFTER ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK: 'WE MUST HEAL'"Bella Ciao" is an anti-fascist song popularized by left-wing Italian partisans during World War II, according to the New York Post. Despite the casings including anti-fascist messaging, Jordan told MSNBC host Ana Cabrera she couldnt point to a motive."What do you see as the significance or what the message is that hes trying to communicate here?" Cabrera asked."Really, I would need to actually see these words in the way that they are on the bullet casings and the gun to make a proper interpretation," the criminologist replied.She compared the engravings to the "rantings of a really immature child."CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWS"And we really need to learn a lot more about what was going on in this accused shooters life when all of this was happening," Jordan continued. "Was he in a rabbit hole? Was he - did he have no job? Did he have no purpose? You know, how did he become such a consumer of hate that his family reports he was, you know, talking in, in with hate speech about his feelings about the victim just at the family dinner the night before?"Jordan did say she believed the engraving on suspects casings could have been inspired by the messages police found engraved on weapons owned by the shooter who killed two children and wounded 18 others at a Minnesota Catholic school in August."Mostly, my takeaway is that the writings on the gun and on the bullets really emulate everything we just saw a few weeks ago in the Minnesota Catholic school shooting. So, I dont think this has been a long-term plan. I think it probably was hatched when this alleged shooter heard the Charlie Kirk was coming to the area, his area, in his backyard at a university that he could easily access," she said.Fox News Digital reached out to MSNBC for comment and did not receive an immediate response.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Following Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination, Donald Trump Jr. warned that political violence in America is coming exclusively from the far-left."When you look at the vilification of Charlie that Im seeing every day since then, the celebration of his assassination in cold blood in front of his wife and young children. Its truly disgusting," he told anchor Martha MacCallum Friday on "The Story." "What was Charlies real crime? He spoke truth. Every day, Martha, he platformed his biggest detractors. He gave the people who hated him the most an opportunity to argue their standpoint."Kirk's killing at a campus event Wednesday in Orem, Utah, has sparked a nationwide conversation about political rhetoric, particularly whether referring to foes as "fascist" or "Hitler" can inspire far-left attacks. Investigators say bullet casings recovered near where Kirk was killed were engraved with anti-fascist phrases, including a reference to "Bella Ciao."I'M A DEMOCRAT, AND CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER MUST UNITE ALL AMERICANS AGAINST VIOLENCEDonald Trump Jr., who counted Kirk as a close friend, appeared visibly shaken on "The Story" as he reflected on Kirks legacy of activism and the aftermath of his killing."He was a threat [to the left] because he was incredibly effective in taking their narrative and destroying it," he said, noting Kirks proficiency at speaking to advocate for God, family, country, the Constitution and keeping men out of womens sports."These are not exactly radical concepts, although when the left realizes that they are losing arguments, they resort to this violence," he said. "I see the constant violence goes both ways, and it does not Martha the violence is going one way I have had to deal with, you know, three shootings like this to people who are really near and dear to me in the last 14 months and Im getting sick of it."Trump addressed reports about engravings on cartridges believed to belong to the suspect, including a reference to the WWII-era anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao" and the taunt "Hey fascist! Catch!" He argued that when the far-left cant win debates on ideas, it resorts to violence.CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDER"Contrary to what were seeing elsewhere and online, its not going both ways," he argued."Its coming from the media, you know, some of them are doing a quick course correction and probably scrubbed their social media feeds for all the things they have said about Charlie, myself, my father over the last few years," Trump added. "But you cant call someone who you disagree with or simply cant win an argument with, a Nazi, a fascist, a dictator, a greatest threat to democracy in the history of civilization, and then pretend you had nothing to do with it when the more radical wing - and there does not seem to be all that much difference to me these days - takes up arms and tries to kill those they disagree with."He concluded, "Its not one way. Its not both ways. Its simply one way. And anyone who is saying otherwise, you know, should be thrown off the air."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

The Connecticut Republican Party on Friday accused a Democratic state education official of posting a "chilling reaction" on social media to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirks death.The party shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a social media account belonging to Farmington Board of Education Chairman Bill Beckert, reposting a comment that said, "They Reap What They Sow."Fox News Digital has reached out to Beckert for comment.SPORTS OUTLET SEVERS TIES WITH SUNS BEAT WRITER OVER CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION POSTS"As the official responsible for the education ofFarmingtons children, youd expect Mr. Beckert to show restraint and basic decency," Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto said in a statement."Instead, he celebrated the brutal murder of a young husband and father of two, whose only crime was having an opinion. That is grotesque. It is a betrayal of the values every educator and public servant should embody."Proto added that Kirks beliefs were "grounded in faith and love of country," and he "never called for violence."Proto also accused Beckert of wanting to silence those who disagree with him."His words read like an endorsement of political violence," Proto wrote. "Farmington parents and taxpayers must ask themselves: is this the example they want for their children?STATE DEPARTMENT WARNS IT WILL REVOKE VISAS OF FOREIGNERS WHO 'GLORIFY VIOLENCE' AFTER KIRK SHOOTING"Farmington deserves leadership that teaches students to win arguments with ballots, not bullets.

The thing that he always said he wanted to be remembered [for] was his courage and his faith, so we're trying to focus our event tonight on celebrating his faith, andthe man that he was, and how strongly and harshly he worked for the things that he cared for."USU student Travis Ferraro echoed the same sentiments surrounding his Christian faith while attending the candlelight vigil, hosted on the campus quad.CHARLIE KIRK ANSWERED 'HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED' LESS THAN 3 MONTHS BEFORE KILLING"I felt called by God to pray over everybody, and pray for their families and for everyone surrounding him," Ferraro told Fox News Digital. "And also just to give a devotional, just about how to treat each other with kindness."On Friday, authorities announced the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with Kirk's murder.

I don't think there's anyone else on this earth like him."Rasmussen went on to describe how Kirk impacted both her political and religious views."Just him going around and preaching that the Bible is the way, and that you just have to believe in God and be faithful," Rasmussen told Fox News Digital. "His faith was [unwavering], and that is what I really just want to carry along throughout the rest of my life as well."Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika Lane Frantzve, and two young children."I definitely believe in God," Manny Chapa said. "I believe in Christ, and [Kirk] just stands behind that. And one of the last things he was able to preach, before his passing, was God. He was able to preach God while he was up on that stage. And it's just beautiful to see a man like that."Fox News Digital's Kyle Schmidbauer contributed to this report.

California lawmakers passed a measure that would ban most law enforcement officers from covering their faces while on the job in response to recent immigration raids in the Los Angeles area where some federal agents covered their faces and hid their identities.The bill, approved on Thursday, now heads to Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk. Though if he signs it into law, it is unclear whether the state could enforce the ban on federal agents who have been carrying out raids and arrests at local businesses under President Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.The bill is the first of its kind to pass through a state legislature, although similar legislation has been introduced in several states, including Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Democrats on Capitol Hill have also proposed a mask ban for law enforcement officers.Under the bill, local and federal officers, including immigration enforcement agents, would be banned from wearing neck gators, ski masks and other facial coverings while carrying out official business.LOS ANGELES COUNTY PUSHES TO PROHIBIT LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM HIDING THEIR IDENTITIES WHILE ON THE JOBExceptions would be permitted for undercover agents, medical masks like N95 respirators or tactical gear.Newsom has about a month to sign the legislation into law. While he has criticized federal agents' use of masks during arrests, he has also raised questions over the summer about the state's authority over federal agents.Federal agents have conducted immigration raids in Southern California since June, sparking protests and the subsequent federal deployment of the National Guard and Marines.Proponents of the bill said the proposal is needed following a Supreme Court ruling earlier this week allowing the federal government to resume sweeping immigration raids in Los Angeles, which also permits agents to target migrants based on things like race or ethnicity, speaking in Spanish or presence at specific locations.Assemblymember Juan Carrillo, a Democrat, said the SCOTUS ruling is "effectively allowing federal agents to stop suspects based solely on their race, language, or job."MASSACHUSETTS BILL WOULD FORCE ICE AGENTS TO UNMASK"How is anyone supposed to reasonably believe that they are law enforcement officers and not masked individuals trying to kidnap you?" he said ahead of the vote. "Imagine the absolute fear of being pulled over at gunpoint by a group of masked individuals."Bill supporters also cited an opinion from constitutional law expert Erwin Chemerinsky at the University of California, Berkeley. He wrote in an opinion piece published in the Sacramento Bee that a state cannot directly regulate the federal government, but that does not mean federal employees can ignore state rules "unless doing so would significantly interfere with the performance of their duties.""ICE agents have never before worn masks when apprehending people, and that never has posed a problem. Nor have other officers of local, state and federal law enforcement faced dangers from the public because they dont wear masks in the streets," he wrote.Republican lawmakers and law enforcement agencies argue that the legislation would only make the job more dangerous for officers."Bad guys wear masks because they don't want to get caught. Good guys wear masks because they don't want to get killed," GOP state Sen. Kelly Seyarto said.Trump administration officials have attempted to defend the practice of face coverings by stating that federal immigration agents have faced an increase in harassment in public and online.But others, including several state attorneys general, argued that the use of face masks generates fear among the public and must be stopped.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
