Starting point is 00:00:03 My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA college chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

We are currently in a recess in the court on the fifth day of the state of Utah versus Tyler Robinson, the preliminary hearing. And we've got some great guys here starting off to help us make sense of the insanity that sometimes you see online, but also makes sentence of the court proceedings. That is Kurt Schlichter. He is obviously an attorney. He's an author
Starting point is 00:01:42 of a lot of books. Hold on, Kurt. I know you sent me, you got a new one, American Warlord. That's coming up. I want to make sure we give you that. Kurt, you're like a lawyer. Well, you're not like a lawyer. You are a lawyer, and yet you're also a novelist, which, you're prolific, by the way. So I want to give you a lot of kudos for that. And so welcome to the show. We also have the very online famous and famous for his company, Justin Nazaroff, CEO of Phoenix Ammunition. Gentlemen, welcome to the show. It's good to have you both on. As we're waiting here, since we do have a munitions expert, ballistics expert, let's start there. What are some of the biggest misconceptions? Because, Justin, I've seen you all over online right now. You're just going ham on everybody
Starting point is 00:02:31 when it comes to ballistics. What are the biggest misconceptions you're seeing and what do you want to set the record straight with? Yeah, well, I think the first misconception is that there's something unusual about the lack of an exit wound. Previous to this preliminary hearing, we really didn't know the projectile that was being used, and now it's been confirmed and identified
Starting point is 00:02:56 as a Remington Corlock, very, very, very common soft point round that's been around for decades. And anybody who's used one can tell you that jacket separation, fragmentation is something that can absolutely happen when these projectiles strike bone. And so this whole idea that it could not have happened. And so therefore, any suggestion that it was a bullet that killed Charlie must mean that there's some kind of greater conspiracy in play, you know, exploding microphones,
Starting point is 00:03:34 electrocution, all this kind of stuff. I mean, we're seeing it now. These are the things that certain podcasters have been speculating on for months. And now we're actually seeing the evidence in court. And it's pretty obvious what happened. You know, this is very, very common with Hollow Point and Softpoint projectiles. It's not an unusual. Yeah, and you know, you always hear that expression, bullets do funny things, they're unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:04:05 This is a point you've been making for a while. Did you, Phoenix, you were early on this, and, Kurt, I don't know if you're a gun-officionado, but basically you made the point that 16 out of 17 of the 30-0-6 caliber rounds that Remington manufacturers have this type of soft tip, which you would expect to sort of balloon out or mushroom out, designed not to leave an exit. What's the point of that for those that are unaffiliated with hunting or sport shooting? Well, look, as a lawyer, first of all, as an officer, I wasn't allowed to have a gun because I probably shoot myself in a foot. But what Justin's really doing here is a great job.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I'm a big fan from online. I was reading his stuff today. And he's providing a role here as an expert witness, right, who's giving us expertise that normal people don't have. And as a lawyer, you know, I didn't know all this stuff, but I had the advantage of getting guys like Justin in who could explain things in common parlance so that regular folks could understand. And Justin was talking about that today. He was talking about how softpoint bullets work, what the purpose of jacketing is, how this ammunition's designed. And, you know, these are powerful facts that Justin's provided.
Starting point is 00:05:28 not speculation, not nonsense, not Elmer Fuddler. He's giving he's giving real, real solid information. So I'll defer to him on the specifics. But if I was a lawyer, I would hire someone like him as my expert witness. And then I would argue the hell out of everything he's taught the jury. Well, you're talking, this is something Blake and I talk a lot about. You're talking about evidence. You're talking about proof, actually, that's being presented in the court of law now.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I think we've had 10 months of a vacuum. And by the way, today is the 10 month mark, which is worth noting. And we've had 10 months, though, of just this vacuum of facts and evidence. Now you see vacuums and facts actually being injected into the conversation. And yet there are still people that refuse that are doubling and tripling down. And I'll go to either of you on this. Well, I actually, I think I want to go out, since we have the novelist with us, Kurt, just
Starting point is 00:06:28 you've written stories. What does this commitment to a fan fiction? Yeah, fan fiction, fan horror. They get very attached to narratives that we can see require huge leaps of logic.
Starting point is 00:06:45 They don't stand up in the face of evidence and they only get more committed to them over time. What's going on here? Well look, some people are stupid. Some people are mentally ill. But most people have a bias towards never admitting fault. It's hard to admit you're wrong. I mean, even among attorneys, and we pride ourselves at being objective, at looking at facts and following
Starting point is 00:07:10 them wherever they go, and then, you know, and then arguing the case for our client as best we can, you know, it's human nature to have pride and not want to say, you know, I listen to a bunch of podcasting sheisters, a bunch of clowns, and they misled me. And again, I want to go back to Justin, because I'm so impressed by the way he calmly and thoroughly explains the facts. There's no, no, you know, no, no, no, no floth, no anger, no screaming or yelling. It's just here's the facts, here's how it works, and people of good faith will respond to that. People People who are suddenly defensive because they've been wrong about something and they're frankly embarrassed, you're never going to convince them.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But most normal people are subject to changing their minds when they see compelling evidence. And I think the kind of compelling evidence Justin's providing as an expert is immensely useful. Gentlemen, I'm just being told in my ear that they're coming back from this break. Justin, I wanted to get you in so much more here, man, because you have been doing the Lord's work shutting down so much of this garbage. I have no idea how long they're going to be on for, so I'm not sure if you guys can stick around. Kurt, I know you can. We're going to take the hearing until the next break, so back to the hearing, and we'll talk to these gentlemen, hopefully in a few. All right, what you're seeing here, ladies and gentlemen, is that John Madden's
Starting point is 00:08:55 style compilation video of where Tyler Robinson was traced on campus and the court ruled that that was not going to be broadcast for public. Then Jeffrey Nyman, who is the family representative for the Kirk family, asked that the family be able to see that. So the judge ruled that they could. He's now chosen for that to happen now. So Erica, Kathy, Robb, the Kirk family collectively are now able to watch that competition population video with enhancements, zoom-ins, kind of red circles that draw your eye to it.
Starting point is 00:09:31 That's how I've been told had that video described. So they are doing that now. And by the way, good job Jeffrey Nyman. He's been excellent, excellent in representing the family's wishes and pushing for speed, pushing for transparency. So a lot of progress there. Thanks to Mr. Nyman. Okay, this whole thing was so boring this morning.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And I feel like that is... This is our punishment yesterday. Yeah, yesterday was very substantive. Today was not. I want to bring up something as we're seeing that, that we're not seeing it, but presumably the video is being played right now in court for the family. Kaylee McInacheney, who's a friend, she's also a lawyer, former White House press secretary. She has come out on the offensive saying that she is, it's mind-blowing to her Judge Tony Graff citing article.
Starting point is 00:10:24 section 28 of the Utah Constitution that allows Erica Kirk and the family to be treated with respect, et cetera, et cetera. And she goes, but I would love for him to cite Utah Code 7373872 that gives Erica Kirk and her family the quote right to a speedy disposition of the charges, free from unwarranted delay caused by or at the behest of the defendant. So under Utah Code, there can't be undue delay. She then goes on to say that in the United States of America, The average plea is made by a defendant within 24 to 48 hours of an incident. 24 to 48 hours. We are now closing in on the year mark.
Starting point is 00:11:04 We're at 10 months today. And the judge yesterday said, instead of issuing his ruling on whether this has reached probable cause, which we all know that it has, he has instead said, I'm going to wait until September 1st. We're going to have another hearing, September 1st. It is July 10th. So, you know, you do the math. It's almost two months away to then rule that, yes, we have reached probable cause. She said 48 hours on average for a plea and we'll be looking at 108,000 hours.
Starting point is 00:11:36 So many multiples of that. So, yeah, it is frustrating. You know, I think in general, Judge Graf has done a pretty good job. I have notes. I think he could control the defense. thousand hours I should correct my mouth on that okay there you go in general I mean I think the larger criticism of the way he's handling this is he's just losing control of the clock and this is dragging on too long I mean that question that we just went through on the DNA I I my eyes were
Starting point is 00:12:09 glazing over and maybe that's the point maybe that is the strategy that they're intended it's it's tough to know but in general he's been pretty good okay and he made a great decision yesterday to reverse his previous ruling and allowed more transparency in the Lance Twiggs video. He deserves a lot of, you know, he deserves acknowledgement from us that that was the right decision. But this is just, this is beginning to become a clown show in just how long it's taking. And so hopefully that point is made either by the state or by Jeffrey Nyman before we get too far along here today. Because, you know, I think the point has been made.
Starting point is 00:12:55 The prosecution notably, I don't know if we, I think we have that clip, as a matter of fact, the prosecution today made the point that this was, yeah, here you go. Can we play this studio, SOT 6? Judge, your honor has heard four days of testimony now. The evidence is overwhelming. It's devastating. And the question needs to be asked the purpose of continuing with testimony
Starting point is 00:13:22 if it's long and drawn out. Of course, the defense has the right to call witnesses, but it needs to be within the context of this preliminary hearing. So, Your Honor has heard four days of testimony now. The evidence is overwhelming. It's devastating. This was the same thing that we heard yesterday.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Exactly. It's like, I think, of what my first thing, friend the lawyer said, we're getting a lot of intense detail on microscopic analysis of bullet fragments. We're getting a lot of intense detail, I think, to blur, you know, DNA is a complicated subject. Oh, what's, what are these, what's an allele? People don't remember this stuff. You get a lot of analysis on that to minimize the amount of time anyone is spending thinking on there were multiple confessions by the defendant, by text, by in person, according to person's testing. testimony, multiple people heard it, on multiple forums, and they just want to minimize the amount of attention on that, because, as you say, it's devastating.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Let's go back to this. And by the way, apologies. Apparently something happened with my microphone, and the audio was poor for a moment there. I do apologize. But let's go through the facts here. You've got law enforcement. Tyler Robinson did it. Tyler's trans boyfriend, Tyler Robinson did it. Tyler's dad, Tyler did it. Tyler's mom, Tyler did it. The evidence, in my humble opinion, points to Tyler Robinson doing it. Rather, that's the video surveillance evidence, or the confessions and texts, the DNA, the forensic evidence, all of these things point in one direction.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And so you've got to wonder, with all of those different pieces of the puzzle here pointing to Tyler Robinson what would the judge need to do to be convinced to make a ruling today and that's certainly the hope but we've from what we've seen from this you know situation with the judge and the way that he tends to operate unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen I think we're going to have to wait till September 1st for Tyler Robinson to actually issue a plea based on the judge ruling that we'll have hearing on September 1st, you might even delay to that point.
Starting point is 00:15:43 We may get past the symbolic one-year mark, which I think is insane. In fact, if you want a big picture thing from this that I think about, this might be worth generating a bit of a discussion of how do our actual criminal justice systems operate? How long does it take to get a defendant to plea, to trial, into prison if they're guilty, now versus 50 years ago, now versus before COVID. I think everything got worse during COVID. Do we need to have more judges? Do we need to have more court personnel? Do we need to have more court houses? Do we need to streamline the process?
Starting point is 00:16:17 I want to talk about that. You know what it is? It's the appeals. I'm convinced that Judge Graff is, he seems to me like a very decent human being. He's trying his best to be impartial. And I think what he's trying to do is protect the case from appeal and from some sort of technicality. Because guess what? Mr. Novak keeps threatening.
Starting point is 00:16:37 He's saying, this is a violation of the 14th Amendment. or, you know, my client's 6th and 14th Amendment rights, what is that in translation, lawyer speak? We're going to get this thing overturned, or we're going to, something, you know, something is going to be done to upend this case and this proceeding. And it seems like he's been successful in some regard, cowing Judge Graf.
Starting point is 00:16:58 We all got that sinking feeling in our stomach yesterday when that letter was briefly displayed, and we thought, okay, they're going to run with us. And lo and behold today, they're running with this. That's all they have. His letter was blasted out to everyone. We need to take the cameras out of the courtroom, which if they're successful on that, that means more room for weird conspiracy theorists to run wild.
Starting point is 00:17:18 That means more room for, oh, we can hope someone who's really hooked on this stuff gets into the jury pool. Yeah, well, and here's what I'll say. So that gentleman that would just droned on for a couple, like over an hour, basically, I'm looking at the tape from it. He got two different instances where Caitlin Oliver, the 18th, TFDNA section chief who was the defense witness testified that it was like at least one trillion times more likely that it was Tyler Robinson's DNA. She said that twice. One trillion. And that's a ceiling. More than a trillion because that's where they cap it. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Because people don't know what octillion is. Yeah, exactly. So the whole thing is, you know, I get if you're a conspiracy theorist online, you think this is all fed slop. I get it. For us, living in the real world here, I don't know what else you're looking for if you're Judge Grapp. This is the month we celebrate our independence as a country. And real Americans know that there is no liberty or pursuit of happiness without life. Preborn celebrates life every single day by providing ultrasounds so that girls and women will have the truth of what's happening in their bodies and then they can make the best choice. When you provide ultrasounds, you double the chance that she'll choose life. $140 helps give five mothers.
Starting point is 00:18:40 a free ultrasound and save babies. $280 helps save 10 babies. And for just $28 a month, you can save babies all year long for less than a dollar a day. A $15,000 gift, and I know there's some of you out there that can do this, we'll provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come. Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away. So call 833850229. That's 833850229 or click on the preborn banner at Charliekirk.com today. Preborn was so special to Charlie and it's so important to me as well. Right now you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with preborn. I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us. All right, welcome everybody. The preliminary hearing
Starting point is 00:19:33 in the state of Utah versus Tyler Robinson wrapped up this, I guess, depending on which part of the country are, this early afternoon or late morning. And we are now going to, we're moving up our recap a little bit here just to make sure that it's all fresh. And so there's not as much evidence that was presented today, but that's okay because there is some really important, I guess, developments that we need to cover right now. Here to help us do it is Steve Day. You know him from the Steve Day Show, Blaze TV, great friend of the show and he's a great friend of Charlie. Steve, welcome. We've got a lot of little details here to wrap up, and I'm going to update the audience on them first, and then we're going to get to your perspective of what's happened and then some bigger concepts that I think are important to explore. So just after court wrapped, the preliminary hearing wrapped, there was a statement, made by the Kirk family. And I'm going to read that, and then there was a filing as well. So here it is. This is from the Kirk family. The conclusion of the preliminary hearing marks an important step forward in the pursuit of justice for Charlie. Our family is grateful for the
Starting point is 00:20:48 prayer, support, and kindness that has been extended to us, especially through these unimaginably painful and emotionally damaging proceedings. As difficult as these last few days have been, it brings our family comfort to know that the world has witnessed the overwhelming evidence of what occurred to Charlie that day. Nothing will ever undo the loss of our beloved Charlie. As this case moves into its next phase, we pray that truth will continue to be heard through a process that is fair, transparent, and grounded in the facts. Okay, so the Kirk family that would be obviously Erica, along with Rob, Charlie's father, and Kathy, Charlie's mother, issued that jointly on behalf of the family. then immediately after Steve and Blake the family representative Jeff Nyman issued he put forward a filing sort of requesting prompt resolution to the matter of probable cause right so that is the legal
Starting point is 00:21:47 threshold that must be reached in order to take this to a full trial so in this and I believe we have the image here he filed this like almost immediately it was very quick work he said we are approaching the one-year anniversary of Charlie's assassination, which is just mind-boggling on its face. Ten months have passed since the defendant's arrest, and the five-day preliminary hearing has now concluded. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial, and he must receive one, but he is not entitled to cause undue delay in the criminal justice process. The family is likewise entitled to a speedy resolution. Utah Code 77-387 provides that, quote, the victim of a crime has the right to a speedy disposition of the charges free from unwarranted delay caused by
Starting point is 00:22:35 or at the behest of the defendant. The family trusts this court to ensure the case proceeds without further delay. We respectfully urge this court to issue its probable cause determination no later than September 1, 26, which is significant because right now Judge Graff has said that they'll have a hearing on September 1, right? Which means that, Steve, we could possibly get to, beyond a one-year anniversary out before we even know if this is going to go to trial, before a probable cause determination has been made. And we know it's going to be four hours of oral argument at least, plus 35 pages of briefs from each side in that hearing.
Starting point is 00:23:18 So it could be very tempting for him to kick the can down the road past that hearing date. Steve, your thoughts on balancing, Judge Graff's balancing act of the constitutional rights of Tyler Robinson with the family's rights to a speedy disposition of justice. Well, guys, I did some of my own research today, and then I've heard from some other folks way more knowledgeable on this kind of procedure legally. And this is very abnormal, the amount of time that it takes to get to this juncture. The only thing that I can say that, because I do think overall, based on what I've seen this week, I do think the judge has been conscientious.
Starting point is 00:23:59 The only thing I can think of to justify this length of time is twofold. Number one, because of how high profile this is, this is the most high profile martyring in America, at least since the summer of 68 when you had RFK and then MLK that spring. This is the most viewed murder in all of human history. and so therefore and then the unprecedented cottage industry of, you know, whack-a-doodle conspiracy theories that have come up surrounding it over the last several months, that he is trying to do everything he can to make sure this case is open and shut and doesn't give an obvious room for appeal and is trying to do everything again to make sure that all eyes are dotted and all T's are crossed. And then maybe hoping that this may never go to trial, that with the amount of time that all this evidence has mounted and been simmering, I think that you have watched within our movement and industry over the last 72 hours.
Starting point is 00:24:57 There have been a lot of people jumping ship or turning around and saying to a lot of the whack-a-doodle conspiracy theorist, you know, this just is, we're off the reservation here. We shouldn't have let it get to this far into this juncture. You guys are essentially, essentially, have excommunicated yourselves. And so maybe he's hoping that with this amount of evidence out there, that that might maybe motivate, the Tyler Robinson folks to take a plea deal, to avoid a trial living through all this evidence all over again. And we can now just say justice was done and move on. But those are the only two things, and I'm projecting in both of those, those are the only two things I could find for any rationale for this length of time to get to the point of even declaring probable cause, especially when you're looking at the amount of open and evidence there is.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You know, I was watching today when the defense attorneys were attempting five different ways to ask a question that was inadmissible and kept getting sustained and thrown out to try and question the DNA sequencing of their own witness. And if you're trying to, if that's where you're at in your defense, you're trying to, you're trying to frame your own witness to the point that you're getting frequent objections against your own, your own questions at that point, then I think you can see the shaky ground, the defense is on here because of just how overwhelming this evidence. is. You're a thousand percent right here, and that was my big takeaway. There wasn't much activity in the courtroom today as far as new evidence, but the one witness that was called forward by the defense ended up making great points for the state. And we have a couple of these clips. We'll play one of them. It's about as an ATF DNA section chief, right? And so she, again, since the defense is witness, when the state gets up and cross-examines her, this is what they get. SOT 7.
Starting point is 00:26:52 What was your conclusion as to the likelihood ratio that you analyzed in this question in calculation number three? For this exhibit, the DNA profile was at least one trillion times more likely if it originated from Tyler Robinson as the major component and three unknown unrelated individuals than if it originated from four unrelated individuals. You say at least one trillion times. more likely. So it could be a much higher number than one trillion. Is that accurate? It's possible.
Starting point is 00:27:26 But the protocols in your laboratory say you cap that at the number one trillion. Is that right? Correct. We would not report a number higher than one trillion. It looks like you also did a probability statistic as well in paragraph E. The probability of an unrelated individual in the population who has not contributed DNA to the sample. yielding this level of support is less than one in a trillion. Okay. So that's the defense's star witness that just linked evidence to Tyler Robinson at one in a trillion, but that's where they cap it.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So it could have been much, I mean, we were hearing octillion. Yeah, they're saying, yeah, a trillion. So they just cap it out at one in the number of cells in your body, I think. And by the way, I was getting bombarded with texts, Steve, from people that are in the legal profession. former prosecutors, all this kind of stuff, unrelated to the case, but they're watching it, right? And they just kept the same guy that's doing all the forensic, you know, witness questioning on behalf of the defense is really hard to listen to. Like your eyes glass over, it is completely not fun to watch, right?
Starting point is 00:28:35 This is not riveting TV, and I think that's the point. But they kept making the point that it is really going to turn a jury off, and it's going to exasperate the judge. it's not a good winning strategy here. So that's the defense's best shot. Now let's go back to what you just said about the plea deal. And this is, I think, actually, a little bit more interesting here because during the course of the week,
Starting point is 00:28:58 you saw the defense fighting tooth and nail to keep out what are called enhancements. Enhancements are legally important because that's what justifies a death penalty in a case like this, right? So if you can put an enhancement, and Blake, actually, you know this pretty well because you know the case history.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yes, it's just you need. unfortunately our glorious Supreme Court in one of its slightly more liberal eras said that you can't just have the death penalty as a default penalty for murder you need these enhancements there needs to be an aggravating factor and so we need something to be sustained we need it to be a politically motivated crime we need to potentially be a crime that endangers minors that's another way they can go for it they have a few different ways they can get it but by far the most likely is that he was motivated
Starting point is 00:29:45 to target Charlie. I think they're going a lot for that because of Charlie's religion, because then it's basically a religiously motivated hate crime enhancement that they could go for. So you see them fighting for that, but the judge ultimately allowed the exhibit from David Englehart, who's one of the board members, explaining the mission of Turning Point and explaining how deeply integrated Charlie's Christian faith was to some of his positions, say, on the trans issue or in genders and sex, right?
Starting point is 00:30:14 So that ended up getting admitted into evidence, right? Not only that, but you had the political motivations in the text messages where it says some hate just can't be negotiated out. I had enough of his hate. Then you also had the bullet engravings, which had Bella Chow, which is a famous anti-fascist song from Italy back in the 1940s. You had, hey, fascist catch. There are multiple pieces of that puzzle that explain the why.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And so I don't understand what leg they're going to have to. to stand on. But the point is, if they were able to successfully argue against some of those enhancements or those pieces of evidence that would lead to the enhancements, you know, from being admitted as evidence, maybe that changes their plea calculation. Yeah, I think at this point, if they weren't thinking this going in, I have to believe after the week that they just endured as counsel, Tyler's defense, their main role at this point is just saving his life. I mean, the evidence here is pretty overwhelming. And so that's probably all this is about, or at least it's a prime directive is saving his life. And, you know, there's a balance here in that, on one hand,
Starting point is 00:31:24 we want him to have this kind of vigorous defense. We want him to have this kind of detailed defense. He has real attorneys, folks that have represented people like the Menendez brothers. These aren't just, you know, public defenders appointed by the court for some lowly soul who couldn't afford, I couldn't afford otherwise. You want him to be to be scrutinized under a rigorous defense on his behalf because, again, how important this case is the precedent that is being set here and how precedent setting this senseless tragedy and assassination was. And so you want every stone turned over, you want everything explored so that no one
Starting point is 00:32:04 is left to remain. I'm just asking Clestens for another nine or ten months of a grift. We want to have all that stuff. exhausted and thrown out there, but there's a line between that, which does serve the system we have, whether we like it or not, it is the system we have. There's a line there somewhere between that, and now we're just exasperating people and exhausting this, and we're delaying justice for a family here when the evidence is pretty overwhelming. And so I think we can certainly say after five days of this this week, that this evidence is pretty overwhelming. And if maybe at the
Starting point is 00:32:36 started this week with a hearing that was already delayed by two months anyway. It was supposed, as you guys know, and your audience knows to take place in May. So we've already delayed it by a couple of months already to get here to July. Now you're talking about delaying in another couple of months just to get to really the first key official juncture of a declarative judgment one way or another. I think we are, if we're not close to, if we're not at least close to the line of we're going from conscientiousness here to exasperation, I think we've already crossed it. I think that's such a great. frameing Steve exasperation, but we do,
Starting point is 00:33:10 um, yeah, okay. Yeah. Hang, hang tight. We, I've got, I've got some stuff I really want to share, but, uh, Blake, give me, we want to be absolutely certain. I want to be absolutely certain. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:22 So just hang tight. Uh, Blake, uh, why don't you, the, the biggest piece of evidence you saw that, that was admitted in court for the public viewing, what was it? What would you say it? It was. There was a lot, thankfully. as we can say, I think we go back to the thing that the defense was most eager to move past that we have Lance Twiggs on camera. He says, yep, I received these text messages from Tyler Robinson.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I'm the guy who did it. He says, check for this note. We saw more detail of that conversation than we saw before, or we actually have Tyler, you know, say F, I thought I deleted this. He seems to have mistaken, basically mistakenly wrote Lance Twiggs in. He details trying to retrieve his rifle. We have the description of the note. We were mistakenly shown an image of that note. We see the burned version of that note. We see Lance Twiggs. We heard Lance Twiggs say he confessed to me in person crying saying he didn't want to do it, or he wishes he hadn't done it. And I think that in concert with the physical evidence we have just makes it absolutely overwhelming. And people will fixate on whether they have 100, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:41 can they match this bullet to the exact gun, or is it only the same category? That is so beside the point when all evidence you have supports the claim that Tyler Robinson did it and when you have direct confession to it. It truly is overwhelming. It almost feels, it almost feels like we're being toyed with or something. something that this is even up for debate to me. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:07 So I'm just getting some breaking here right now. And I think we, this is public. It's public domain. This is from Heidi Hatch, KUTV reporter. So she says, and we're pulling this video, but after the defense final DNA witness, the court allowed the family to watch the zoomed-in surveillance video from Utah Valley University, okay?
Starting point is 00:35:31 Remember a little bit, rewind. the tape here there was a huge rigomer role about the enhanced video right so this is zoomed in and it's it's the quality i'm i'm being told is except like it's surprisingly high and this they called it the joe john madden kind of style video because you know i think they circle it and they zoom in they draw your eye to kind of wear tyler's walking around on campus she said Heidi uh hatch says even zoomed in the quality of the video is surprisingly high because remember there's press in the courtroom that was able to watch this as well it just wasn't broadcast to the public you could see the man on the roof reportedly this is her words reportedly tyler robinson getting down into that wine or prone
Starting point is 00:36:18 position before the shot was fired the video showing robinson allegedly returning to campus with jeans on shows that very distinct limp with the rifle likely in the leg of his pants you apparently can see things. We have another source. Someone who was able to see it. He says, you see the person that we believe is Tyler Robinson. You can see them go over the guardrail, crouch down to assemble the rifle, run across the roof, crouched down, take the shot at the time. At the exact time.
Starting point is 00:36:48 We know the shot happened at 1223, 28. So you see this person roll over the sort of railing or whatever that was to the rooftop of the Losey Center. and then Heidi goes on. This is again the KUTV local reporter there in Salt Lake City. She says, heartbreaking to watch Erica Kirk and Charlie's parents as they watched in greater detail these final moments before Charlie was shot and killed on campus. So they did watch him assemble the rifle. They saw him go over the railing and the enhanced video is apparently extraordinarily clear. and visual. Hi folks, Andrew Colvett here. I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y. Reefi.
Starting point is 00:37:37 You've probably been hearing me talk about Y Refi for some time now. We are all in with these guys. If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're behind on your payments. Maybe you're even in default. You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Y refi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually, they can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back. We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much they owe. Why Refi can help. Just go to whyrefi.com. That's the letter why then refi.com and remember why refi doesn't care what your credit score is.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Just go to why refi.com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. So. And it looks like they also, yeah, in the enhanced video, it makes it more clear the limp is he has a rifle-shaped object in his pants. It seems they're able to zoom in and make that. Another reporter actually just reached out to me and said the enhanced surveillance video, Jeff Nyman, the Kirk family representative, got the court to play at the end was the, quote, single most damning piece of evidence. in the state's arsenal. We saw a lot of evidence. We saw a lot of damning evidence.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And for an independent reporter to say that to me is, yeah, and I hope these journalists write about it. And actually, I think we might be getting Jack Posobic. He might be joining just to describe what he saw, because I believe he was inside the courtroom. Steve, I don't know if you have any thoughts on that, but my instant reaction is I can't imagine what Erica and Rob and Kathy must have been feeling
Starting point is 00:39:43 to see it in that vivid detail. You know, most people, most murder cases, and this is what's so funny about the internet. The internet's like, well, you can't see his face and this blurry. Most murder convictions happen without video of the actual incident. In this instance, we have this luxury of hours of footage watching him meander around campus and case it out. I just can't imagine.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah. I mean, we've had, by comparison, we've had murder convictions of people who were definitely guilty where they don't have a body. Yeah. And we don't have a body. We don't have a murder weapon. You just have overwhelming contextual circumstantial evidence. And here we have that and we also have DNA, the weapon, the parent's turning in it. video. The confession.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Just. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I, Steve, please first react to just just the emotional impact of that moment for the Kirk family. I, I don't know how the judge can possibly watch the family go through witnessing that and then say, but we're going to, we're going to hold you off here for about two more months to try to get the first phase of closure. I just, I, I, I, like, again, like I said a few minutes ago, there's a line somewhere between conscientiousness and exasperation. And I said that before you told me about this video, guys. And now with this video, we're not, we're way over that line. Like that line is not even, we're so far past it now that it's not even in the rearview, rearview mirror at this point. Like the judge has already amended himself before when he knew he was wrong. He needs to amend himself again. And it's,
Starting point is 00:41:28 it's just very clear here that the Kirk family is deserved, at least stayed. one of closure as soon as absolutely possible here. As for the skeptics and stuff online, again, I don't have a problem with people asking questions about anything. My issue is, and a lot of our institutions, and I know the three of us agree with this, a lot of our institutions are deserving and have worked hard to earn all this skepticism that has been pent up over the last few years, for sure. The question is, where do we go for answers, right? And it would be one thing if these people were just going to, you know, question the official narrative. The other thing to try to shift the guilt of this crime, even to Charlie's widow herself,
Starting point is 00:42:14 even as this, and to try to hold on to these narratives as this evidence mounts, it's just particularly reprehensible and despicable and just wicked and evil. I'd say that, secondly, as well. And then thirdly, I think we have a real teachable moment here, just for all of us that do this for a living. and that is when we have events when there's going to be things like trials, there's going to be things like hearings, evidence is going to be presented. You know, we don't really have to all be in a hurry to be wrong.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You know, there's going to be a process, and it's going to be somewhat transparent, and we're going to get answers, and you don't have to look like a clown when it's all over. You can just say, you know what? I kind of just want to wait and see what the evidence says. I saw Don Jr. say that the other day after leaving the courtroom with Erica. I just, it was very clear. He said now, looking at the evidence that it was very clear that Tyler Robinson is absolutely guilty. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:43:07 It's okay to not know everything, to not have an immediate take on everything, and to just let processes play itself out, particularly something that is as personal and as tragic as this particular circumstance. I'm going to play this local news reporter Heidi Hatch, her recounting of this video, SOT 33. The Tyler Robinson hearing has adjourned for the day and for the entire hearing. Defense finished with their final DNA witness from the ATF. After that, the judge allowed the family to view without it being broadcast. The zoomed-in surveillance video from Utah Valley University.
Starting point is 00:43:42 The quality was surprisingly high. A lot more detail you could see of the man that is reportedly Tyler Robinson making his way through campus up and down the stairs into the parking garage and even zoomed in on the roof where you can see the man who is reportedly Robinson lying down into that prone position. before the shots were fired as that came up on that video that zoomed in video Erica Kirk breaking down in tears as well as Catherine her mother-in-law Charlie's mother clinging to each other hugging each other as that video played out yeah so that's tough yeah and I think about the time stamp to Steve you know
Starting point is 00:44:30 just the just knowing that moment 1220 23, is it 38? I don't know. I avoid fixating on that. 12, 23, 28. Yeah, it's just, it, anyways, I think we're going to have Jack join us and kind of walk through what he, what he saw. So we'll wait for him to join.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I want to go back to what you said, Steve, though, because I think it was an important point. And that is, you know, you don't have to rush ahead just to be wrong. You know, I was really moved by that statement from Don Jr. this week. You know, he said, he went on Fox News and he said, you know, I've taken, you know, a lot of incoming because I haven't been more vocal. Well, now I've seen it. And, you know, like you said, the evidence is compelling. It's overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:45:30 There's a lot of people that have used that word overwhelming. We're not telling them to use it. I think it's just the word that comes to mind for a lot of people when they see all of this together. What is the right path forward with people? I'm already seeing some of these comments come out about, you know, hey, I drank the Kool-Aid and I regret that. People are starting to little by little, and I think we're going to see more of this, you know, sort of admit that they had it wrong. What should be our path forward?
Starting point is 00:46:04 Well, all three of us represent a worldview that makes it very clear that mercy triumphs over judgment. Now, it doesn't cancel judgment, otherwise there will be no such place as a hell. So eventually there is a judgment. But all of us are deserving of it. None of us are deserving of mercy, and that's why it's called grace. So I think that for those who have, who sincerely want to come forward, sincerely want to apologize, sincerely want to repent, first and foremost, apologize to Erica and the entire family.
Starting point is 00:46:35 I think that, you know, they deserve an honest hearing in terms of the integrity and the sincerity of that apology and that repentance. Therefore, by the grace of God, go, I forgive us our trespasses, Lord, as we forgive those who trespass against us. But I also, but here's the thing, forgiveness and trust are not necessarily the same thing. And I do think there's quite a few people whose trust level through this. I really believe both Charlie's murder and the aftermath of it was the latest in a series of providential siftings that have taken place in our culture. And I think too many people failed this one.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And I think this is where humility has to come into play. You know, the arrogance, there's a reason why narcissism was the first heresy in the history of our species because it appeals to our vanity and it appeals to our narcissism and our egos. And the idea that you have the secret knowledge, that you have the secret sauce, that you know the stuff that nobody else knows. You even speak in code. You use terms like Zionist and Fed Slop, like their conjunctions and sentences, right? You know, the secret handshake. This stuff absolutely appeals to our vanity and our narcissism. And these devices right here in our hands, you know, 30 years ago when you saw the tabloid in the supermarket,
Starting point is 00:47:49 you might have picked it up and looked at it out of fascination. But then when you saw the frowns of everybody in the checkout lane next to you, you just kind of smiled nervously and said, can you believe this stuff? And put it on the counter and walked away because you were worried about the public shame of indulging in that. But this now takes that element away. And we can all be anonymous and we can all do this a million times. And now captains of industry who would never even pick up such materials in a supermarket to checkout lane 30 years ago are now seven pages deep into a Reddit forum.
Starting point is 00:48:17 You know, on a break they didn't have scheduled and an appointment they had to put off because they can't tear themselves away. And I think that this was a very painful lesson that I hope a lot of people learned. And then I think that you're watching other people just flat out just demonstrate, frankly, that they're just demonic and satanic influences, and I think ought to be treated as such moving forward. Well, we have a couple of these examples, Steve. Go ahead and throw up the first one that somebody sent me this,
Starting point is 00:48:46 but says, I would like to admit I drank some of the Candace Kool-Aid, and now I feel so gutted for ever believing Erica had anything to do with it. and there's actually a second one here that I just found, if I can get it loaded here for us. Oh, never mind, that's the wrong one. Somebody sent me another one, but I put it in the wrong file. I think what you said is really good, Steve, and we have to acknowledge a lot of people are very open to unconventional stuff. We live in a low trust time when trust in authorities and institutions is lower, and that makes stranger ideas more appealing.
Starting point is 00:49:29 People like to do their own research and such. But we have to acknowledge that there's room for people to come back on side. There's room for people to say, I goofed it up. But I do think we need some perspective that we have, if you're a voice, if you have a platform, you have a moral obligation to show good leadership. And I think there will be people who will try to just sort of quietly move. move on from this. They'll maybe stop talking.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Maybe they were pushing this and they'll just quietly stop talking about it or they'll just make a brief. Oh, I was wrong. And I really do think that the evidence in this case was so clear for so long and so all encompassing that if a person is who had a platform is going to come back, I think there has to be some expectation of not merely acknowledging that they were incorrect. But I think they have, as you say, they have to apologize and say, I was not just wrong. I made a error.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I did something, I did something, I made a moral mistake in going this far down. And I have to try to atone for that. And that might be, I have to acknowledge, I maybe am not a platform that someone can trust unless I really put an effort to undo this. Well, but I think this has an opportunity to be another. piece of Charlie's legacy. Because throughout this other one, Janelle,
Starting point is 00:51:00 I watched several of Candace's podcast. I was one of the people who believed Israel was somehow involved. It was extremely convincing, and I do not blame anyone for believing it as I did. Lesson learned to wait for actual evidence. I will never make this mistake again. I regret
Starting point is 00:51:16 it and I stand with Erica. Like, these are just starting to pop up on social media right now. And, you You know, so I think if we as a movement can build up antibodies to some of this, I think that would be really positive. And I have my, people have my sympathies. I have entertained conspiracy theories, certainly. And why wouldn't I after COVID, after the Hunter Biden laptop, after all this crap that's been stuffed down our throats?
Starting point is 00:51:45 I totally understand that. Sometimes, you know, giving proper scrutiny to an official narrative is the right position to take. But there is a far difference, there's a huge difference between that and then turning around and recklessly accusing innocent people of wrongdoing of heinous, heinous evil acts when the evidence is right in front of you. And so I think one of the drum beats of this is what is the evidence? Where is the proof? If you can't prove it, it's not enough to go off vibes and like speculation and innuendo. You cannot do that. that no healthy society can operate and exist in that framework.
Starting point is 00:52:29 10,000 percent. Listen, Christianity is not the endless asking of questions. In fact, the first time the enemy shows up and speaks in prophetic history, he uses the following phrase, did God really say? That's literally his, that's his line. That's his pickup line to Eve. Did God really say? Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:46 So we're not into the endless asking of questions. We're into the ceaseless seeking of answers. All right. So our worldview says to ask, seek, and knock to get answers, to get answers. I can't tell you how many emails I got to my own show. I can't believe, Steve, you would believe the official narrative and everything else on this. And every one of them, I tried to write them back. Guys, there's going to be hearings.
Starting point is 00:53:08 There's going to be a trial. We're going to see the evidence. Why don't we just let it play itself out so that we know? And I didn't begrudge anybody who didn't want to believe anything until I got to court. Where I got really pretty pushy in the pushback is when now you've got. alternative theories based on absolutely nothing that are just clear biblical, violating clear biblical mandates against the tormenting of widows. And what's went on here with Erica for the last six to eight months, it's the most wicked and vile thing I've seen in my entire lifetime.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I mean, it's just literally a main line from hell itself. It's just wicked. It's just, it's unnatural really is what it was. Like I felt, I felt bad being in the presence of it. Like, it made me, it made my skin crawl. Like, I shouldn't be listening to this. I shouldn't be watching it. I shouldn't be subjected to this. I should turn away. That's how just pure pitch black this is. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Really well said. Somebody this week told me, it was one of those one-liners that kind of like, you know, stops you in your tracks and just said, Erica Kirk is the most defamed person in human history. She's certainly on a list. She's certainly maybe the most defamed person in the history of the English-speaking world. What's went on.
Starting point is 00:54:21 for what for being the dutiful wife of the of the of the you know the most high profile martyr in the history of our world this is the most viewed murder in the history of our world and i but there's a missing piece here i want to make sure we hit this all transpired i believe because of what happened after charlie's murder and that is the most viewed proclamation of the gospel that this world has ever seen and that's the first time and in all my years with my 23 years walking with the lord walking, coming out of that memorial was the first time I thought there was a real chance we might be able to unite around first principles as believers. And so I don't think it's a coincidence at all that the enemy said, oh, snap, can't let that happen and mobilized as fast as
Starting point is 00:55:03 he could. Like I mentioned Don Jr. recently or earlier here on this talk, I'd be willing to bet you that Don Jr. told more people about who St. Stephen was than they've heard in the American church anywhere, Catholic or Protestant in the last 30 years. I'd be willing to bet you. All right, More people came out of that with more church and more Bible than they have any singular event in the history of this hemisphere. That was like every George Whitfield and Jonathan Edwards revival and sermon in just one afternoon. And I don't think it's any coincidence that coming after that then is when the enemy marshaled his forces, particularly ones he had strategically placed and let them loose right at that time to try to knife us and divide us. And I think moving forward, two things I think we have to learn.
Starting point is 00:55:43 One, skepticism, we do need to remain skeptical of things. I mean, as far as I know, I'm the only person that wrote two bestselling books debunking the COVID narrative. But here's the thing. I didn't offer alternative theories or projections. I interviewed witnesses. I looked at data and facts. I didn't just wing it, you know, because I didn't want to get sued by Anthony Fauci and everybody else. So I used, often it was their own data against them, their own assumptions against them. And I think this brings me to point, too, there's a thing, there's cynicism, which is against a biblical worldview. If your, if your worldview begins with the premise that God supernaturally intervened in human history to raise a dead man to life, then cynicism is not permitted for the
Starting point is 00:56:21 believer. But there's healthy skepticism. There's healthy skepticism when you are in the age of the judges like we are now when everyone does what is wise in their own eyes. And so what is the difference here? How do we know? Well, that gets me to the second point here. When you start, you know, when you start purporting things that just don't line up with common sense, no, no, I don't think Nancy 421, seven, if that's even a real person. I don't think you care more about Charlie and what happened to him than his wife. No, I don't. Or his mom or his dad.
Starting point is 00:56:51 No, I don't. I don't think Candice Owens thinks and cares more about Tyler Robinson's fate and his potential innocence than every single member of his family and his high-profile defense team. No, I don't. And I think when you're somebody like Sean Ryan and you're asking questions of somebody like this a week before this proceeding, I think you need to ask questions like this. at it like, hey, has the defense called you up? Have they shown any interest in what you have to say?
Starting point is 00:57:16 Have you gone to Utah to offer, you know, proffer up your results? Rather than just sitting there and providing affirmative platforms like this for just absolute raw sewage garbage. And I think when we are defying clear common sense, when you think you care more about the people involved in this story than the people involved in the story, there's a pretty good, it's pretty highly likely that you're engaged in some form of idolatry.

There is literally dozens of these types of messages of people. basically saying I was wrong I used to be into this now I'm not it's so goofy to see this that Sean Strickland is apologizing for it yeah Sean Strickland's an MMA fighter very much hate Jewish people yeah very much a out there figure in a lot of ways I don't even think he'd disagree and like he's seeing the light before a lot of people who ought to
Starting point is 01:00:32 know better I will say and that's what that's what pains me so much about this there's always going to people who believe weird things. We saw that during COVID. It wasn't enough to say, oh, obviously they're fibbing to us about this or that. You got really strange stuff about the virus being, I think probably the strangest one I ever heard was that it was a theory that it was all snake venom. And you're always going to have that. But people who have been in media long enough, who have been around news stories long enough, should be able to put two and two together that the evidence in this case adds up almost to the point where this could be a clinic you would put on in like a criminal justice laboratory to show all the different
Starting point is 01:01:20 types of evidence that can be available in a case. Oh, here's your DNA evidence. Here's your non-DNA forensic evidence. Here's your witness testimony. You have basically every single piece of evidence that could be obtained exists. And if someone is going to take all of that and say I reject all of it, I just think it's all fake, I'm not going to explain to you how it was faked, I'm just going to say it, and I'm going to assert another completely wild theory that's mutually exclusive with the three other theories that I'm going to run with, none of which have
Starting point is 01:01:51 any evidence. That person is acting with ill will. That person is willfully choosing to believe something that is not true because it'll get them attention, it'll get them views, get them clicks, it'll get them money, it will allow them to hurt other people. So we have a new video. That's not any different. Pardon me. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Andrew. No. Finish your thought, please, Steve. I was just going to say, Blake, that the irony of everything you just said is those same people would laugh
Starting point is 01:02:17 and mock those who virtue signaled with their Vax cards, the Ukraine flags, their masks in their bios. They're just the other side of the exact same coin as what you just described. They're actually closer together. It really is horseshoe theory. They're way closer together than I I think they realize. So we have this new. video, I totally agree with that, by the way. I think the team is loading it right now from Benny Johnson. He also had a chance to look at this enhanced video. We're getting more and more details here. He said every moment, every movement of Tyler Robinson that day, captured in full
Starting point is 01:02:52 quality HD, zoomed in some footage in 4K, tracking all his movements. You can see crystal clear Tyler Robinson's face. The license plate number on his vehicle. That was another point of controversy with some of this, the Dodge Charger. There was apparently one of the people in the houses with the ring camera said they thought it was a bald person with three people. But, you know, instantly we sort of knew in the whole scheme of all the mounting evidence that it was probably just an eyewitness kind of got confused about it because the ring camera had the actual stuff. Anyway, so you can see the license plate on the vehicle details on his clothing and his actions on the rooftop, and you can time every horrifying detail to the minute Charlie Kirk was murdered.
Starting point is 01:03:41 What the public couldn't see was the emotion in the courtroom. Charlie's family sobbing uncontrollably, Erica and Mrs. Kirk's seniors' arms, Charlie's father comforting them, just feet away, sat a pale, lifeless, emaciated Tyler Robinson. I'm reading Benny's words, who stared at the floor with no remorse as he listened to the weeping. He says, Robinson has never once looked at Erica this entire trial. The entire courtroom gassed when the video was over. Eventually this footage will be released. It was really tough to relive that day in such gruesome detail.
Starting point is 01:04:19 This case is overwhelming. Please pray for a speedy trial. And to all the tormentors of the Kirk family, you can go to hell where you belong. It's really frustrating, actually, that they didn't release this footage to the public. But we will get it eventually. They can delay this. They cannot stop it. I mean, it's good that, you know, Jeffrey Nyman was successful in getting this viewed within the court. Erica and her family completely deserved to see this. And, you know, I think Jeff basically said for the sake of processing this, you know, when he was making his comments to the judge.
Starting point is 01:04:58 He said they deserve to see this. They just like, why are we here if this isn't, you know, to actually see the evidence? And he said they deserve this so that they can process this moment properly. And I'm so heartbroken for them that they had to see that that that, that, that, that, that, that, that it even existed. But I'm grateful that they got to rip the Band-Aid, see it. And I think it's so important for processing this. And so is there anything specific in that video? I'm trying to figure out if Jack's going to be joining us in just a second.
Starting point is 01:05:42 He did see the video himself. All right. Steve, you are a very thoughtful man. and you understand the difference between pragmatism and pure idealism, something you and I have talked about when it comes to politics. If we're going to rebuild this coalition the way Charlie was doing it, what needs to happen next? First, I would urge everyone within the sound of our voices to pray that the judge
Starting point is 01:06:19 reconsider putting this off until September 1st. There's no reason why this couldn't be done on August 1st. it's still almost four weeks, three and a half weeks until then. Because I think the sooner that we can get something definitive on this and some closure for the family, but then also for us as a movement, the sooner we can go about trying to answer these questions. Because I think we're going to have a hard time answering that question until there's a more definitive outlook on the outcome of this case, then we'll just see you again in two months. I think so wild answer you just gave, Steve.
Starting point is 01:06:57 That's a wild answer because I agree with you that the fate of the movement that Charlie cared so much about that he was so instrumental in building is directly tied to closure in his assassination trial. Like that's a wild thing to just even wrap your head around. I didn't mean to cut you off, but I, no, no, but because it's what's over. opened up the fissure of what he was holding together, is his death in the aftermath of it. And I think the certainty of what caused that death and then the outcome for Tyler Robbins and the one who committed to that cause, I think that's the first step in letting a lot of people. You can already see just from the volume of notes you guys are getting in right now as an organization as a show, the amount of people who are like coming in from like a fog, you know, from like a, a, spiritual malaise that's clearing up now. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great analogy. Yeah, like a spell has been broken here, right? And so I think that the spellcasters have got to be confronted.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I think the spellcasters, you got to find out who did so maliciously. You know, one of my favorite lines from Augustine is there are many sheep without, but many wolves within. And I think one of the things that is that we've done to Charlie posthumously. And I saw this after when Reagan passed away as well that you saw the more amicable Reagan. You didn't see the rendezvous with destiny, Reagan. They didn't show a lot of those clips. This idea that the guy went from, you know, a lifeguard to president of the United States, just dropping quippy one-liners all the way, you know, and being not a threat to any evil in the world whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:08:41 And so there's this idea that Charlie was just this kind of very gracious host of these forums on, you know, on these campuses. And wasn't a warrior. He wasn't a general. He wasn't fierce, right? And worthless when he had to be. Totally. Steve, we've got Jack. Jack, we just got a few moments here.
Starting point is 01:09:01 I know we're wrestling with the tech there. Jack Posobic, Human Events Daily, was there today. Jack, you were in the courtroom for this viewing of this video, the enhanced video. Tell us what you saw. Look, guys, I'm. I'm not going to mince words, all right. I'm going to be blunt because it's, it deserves it. And I'm just, I'm just going to say what it was.
Starting point is 01:09:34 You see him shooting Charlie. You see him executing Charlie. You see him take the shot. And so you've seen the video. And Blake, I know you were there, man. and it was like watching Charlie Die all over again, seeing this video. This is the, it's the most damning thing I've seen all week for Tyler Robinson. With the zoom in, it just changes everything.
Starting point is 01:10:06 It's like watching a completely different video because the one that's zoomed out, you can't even see anything. This one, he walks up. He, it's, I mean, it's just like the officer said earlier in the, I guess it was day one, that he walks up over the guardrail, goes down, and you could see him kind of working on something. And it's, you know, I believe that's when he was assembling the rifle. He then stands up. He runs very quickly across the bill, the gravel roof to the edge. And then when he gets to the edge, you see him. Go down. And he's in the prone position. And it's
Starting point is 01:10:46 you know, they have, they have this clock, like the timestamp that's up, and it's 1220, I think it's 1221, 1222 when he first gets there. And I'm just sitting there, like, stop the clock. Like, don't, like, like trying to will time to stop. Like, don't get to 1223. Like, just don't get to 1223. And he gets to 1223 and you see him take the shot and he gets back up. And And then he, you know, he runs across. And you've seen the end of it already where he, you know, makes the jump. But it's, it's all there. It's, it's all there.
Starting point is 01:11:32 It's, it's on video. It all lines up. And I got, I got very, very angry. Watching this video in court, I was, I was gripping the, you know, the seat. I think I almost broke my rosary. I just. And to know that Erica and Charlie's parents had to watch this with Tyler. He was sitting right there and he wouldn't even look, by the way.
Starting point is 01:12:03 He wouldn't even look. And someone told me that his own monitor was off. He wouldn't even look at the video as it was being played of what he did. And the fact that he was so close to us, it's, it is an unspeakable evil. it's since seeing the original video, this is the worst thing I've seen. This is the worst thing I've seen. Other than the actual video of the, you know, the gunshot itself connecting, that it was very hard to watch.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Yeah, it was a shockwave across the entire crowd. And by the way, the video, so you could see him walking up too. And the video that we can see. I need to explain this to everybody who, by the way, sorry, I know I'm jumping around. I'm a little flustered, but the video that we see played on that monitor is so much more clear than the video that's on the live stream. When you see him walking around, it's not just a blurry guy or a pixelated guy. It's Tyler Robinson.
Starting point is 01:13:19 It's just very obviously when he's there in the red shirt and the shorts and he comes back in all black, it's still, it's the same guy. It's just obviously him. There's no question about it. It's so crystal clear. And every single one of these videos needs to be released publicly in its raw form so that everyone can see that. I understand certain things they're holding back until trial. I get all that, right? But everyone needs to understand it's on video. Okay. It's on video. It is him. Benny Johnson came by today and he hadn't been there early in the week and he said he was stunned because he's been watching the live stream. I'm not I'm not watching the live stream. Um, and he said he was stunned at how much better the video quality is when you're sitting there. And I guess, you know, compression and it's live stream, the quality, whatever. We all know the tech, but, um, it's, it's just, it's very obviously him walking up to that roof and then to know and see, but I mean, we all know what
Starting point is 01:14:20 happened, but to see it, I mean, it's, I, it's, I, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I, it's, it's, it's, I, it's, it's, it's, it's, It's just playing over and over again in my head. Jack, thank you for sharing that. And again, my thoughts instantly go to Erica and Kathy and Rob having to see the very moment that Charlie's life was robbed from him. You said, just to be clear, you said that in this enhanced video, you can see him taking the shot. In the prone position, you see him taking the shot. And I just, I, I asked just because I'm sure there's going to be questions about it. Was there any explanation of how the video was enhanced?
Starting point is 01:15:02 It's, it's just a simple zoom in. It's not, it's not anything other than that. It's just, just, just, just zoomed in. It's like, you know, you know how when he first, when we didn't know who Tyler Robinson was, and they put out that first video of him dropping off the, you know, the, the, the awning. I guess of the Losey building. It's, yeah, it's, it's, it's just the, it's like the, I guess the five minutes or so prior to that. So it looks pretty similar to that in terms of quality.
Starting point is 01:15:35 It's just that same, it's just a zoom in process. No, I hear you. You know, it doesn't look like there's any AI upscaling or any of that stuff. It literally just looks like a zoom on. So they took that wide screen because, of course, that looking at everything, but. It's just a zooming. Just a zooming. And it's one of the worst things.
Starting point is 01:15:57 I'm so glad we got the tech figured out for you to tell us that because it was really important. And thank you for being there on the ground with the Kirk family and the whole team being a support. And Steve, Dace has been with us all our. Steve, thank you as well for joining us.
