Turek, a close ally of the late conservative and Christian commentator Charlie Kirk, was on site at Utah Valley University when Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10, 2025. When asked how he made sense of all that transpired before his eyes, Turek was candid. "I made sense of it by knowing that what happened was evil," he said.

Turek continued, "As soon as we see something evil, we know it's evil."
