Welcome to the Trish Rican show. The suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination has been charged. Tyler Robinson has been charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk, and the DA has now released all of the text messages in which he seemingly confessed to this assassination of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, someone who I knew well, someone who I... used to put on TV all the time. Probably was one of the first to put him on TV back on my Fox programs. A really wonderful family man, two children, a wife he leaves behind. And I'll tell you millions and millions of young people throughout this country

that loved his message and loved his willingness to talk to anyone, to debate anyone, and to make sure that we did so in a respect. way. Tyler Robinson charged with Charlie Kirk's murder. He had left a note under a keyboard saying he planned to kill Charlie Kirk and he is now, according to new documentation, confessed to the murder. And we see that in the text messages that have just been released. Let's go to the DA prosecuting the case out in Utah. Why? Robinson. Why did I do it? Roommate. Yeah. Robinson. I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it.

Roommate, how long have you been planning this? Robinson, a bit over a week, I believe. I can get close to it, but there is a squad car, parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot but I don't want to chance it. Robinson again. I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpa's rifle. IDE K if it's had a serial number but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about Prince I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits, didn't have the ability or time to bring it with. I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints. How the F... Oh, they're going to find prints. Believe me, they're going to find

everything. They may find more people that were related to this. This is what Dan Bonjino has been saying, as well as Cash Patel in a pretty explosive commentary today as he was being interviewed there on Capitol Hill. We're going to get to all of that in a moment, but first, some more of these text messages. You can see between this Tyler Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, who was also his romantic interest, somebody who was a naturally born male transitioning in the process of transitioning to female. Here we go.

The Robinson speaking to the roommate, and the roommate seems a little surprised at first. Oh my gosh, like, are you really the. one that did that. Wait a second, are you joking, he says, and it comes out, no, in fact, not joking at all. So police interviewed Robinson's roommate. This again is the biological male who was in the process of transitioning. On September 10th, 2025, the roommate received a text message from Robinson, which said, quote, drop what you're doing, look under my keyboard. The roommate looked under the keyboard and found a note. note that stated, quote, I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.

Police found a photograph of this note and then the following text exchange, as I said, took place with Robinson saying, I'm still okay, my love, but am stuck in Orm for a while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I got to grab my rifle still. To be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret until I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you. The roommate's saying, wait a second, you weren't the one that did it, right? And he said, I am, I am sorry. I thought they caught the person, said the roommate. And Robinson responds, no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got long.

down. It's quiet, almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering. Remate, why? Robinson, why did I do it? Roommate, yeah. Quote, I had had enough of his hatred. Some hatred can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence, going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it. And then the roommate goes back to how long have you been planning this. Robinson says a bit over a week, I believe. I can get close to it, but there's a squad car. So you can see the roommates like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, just what happened. And Robinson is in a tactical mode of, okay, I need to do X, Y, and Z to get out of this. He says to his roommate, there is a squad car parked

right by it. I think they actually swept that spot, but I don't want to chance it. Robinson then says, I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. I am worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back my grandpa's rifle. And that's the part that you heard the DA reading. I mean, unbelievable, disgusting, horrible stuff. It goes on where he's saying, delete this exchange. Oh, no, you know, my dad wants photos of the rifle. He says, grandpa wants to know who has it.

The Fed's released a photo of the rifle. and is very unique. He's calling me, not answering. Since Trump got into office, my dad has been pretty diehard MAGA. I'm going to turn myself in willingly one of my neighbors here for the deputy for the sheriff. And then Robinson says, you are all I worry about love. And the roommate says, I'm much more worried about you. And then Robinson says, don't talk to the media. Please don't take any interviews or make any comments. If you have police, ask you questions, ask for a lawyer, and stays silent. We have since learned that that roommate is apparently cooperating with authorities in this matter. Again, they are officially charging this guy. And then the other thing that you need

to think about at this moment in time is just exactly who else may have been involved. Were there other people who radicalized this kid? How did he come from sort of a nice Warren family, conservative family, right? Whose father was in law enforcement. and how did he migrate down this path? How did he wind up in a romantic relationship with a transgender? Were there other people involved in this? Again, I want to reiterate that the roommate that he was romantically involved in, who was in the position of transforming into a female,

has actually been, from what we've been told, cooperative with authorities, cooperative with authorities. But again, I think there's a lot that we don't know, and there are many questions about whether or not there could have been a broader network involved, at least in terms of the radicalization. I mean, how does someone just wake up one day and say, I am going to, I'm going to kill another human being because I don't agree with their viewpoint. If you go back to what he was saying in those text messages, you know, the idea that somehow there are some things, quote, I had enough of his hatred, some hate, some hate. hate can't be negotiated out. And you know what? I got a lot to say on this. I get a lot to say on the media's role in this. I got a lot to say on society's role on this. I got a lot to say, frankly, in the previous administration's promotion of that kind of hate. You know, when you call

someone a Nazi over and over and over and over again, a racist over and over and over and over again, come on. Like at what point? Enough is enough. I'm sorry. You know what? That is just blatantly disgusting to say the things that they said. And you know where I was going to play this later in the show, but you might as well hear it now because this is one week ago, ladies and gentlemen, the mainstream media, the left wing, mainstream media saying some pretty darn heinous stuff, okay? This is what they were all about. Think about this, think about this, and what role they had in helping to radicalize this,

this guy who may have been radicalized by another fringe group. That's according to FBI intel that we'll get to. But just think about this. That man cannot see public office again. He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated. And I hope these far right podcasters come to their senses and recognize that this is not war. We do not divide this entire country based on political ideology. We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration.

This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like. I'm on the opposite side of that. I'm not with the Nazis. People can fingerpoint all they want. Look at the record. Look at the actions of what we are doing. I don't think a single person who has dedicated. their entire career to preventing gun safety legislation from getting passed in this house

has any right to blame anybody else but themselves for what is happening. We're in a war right now to save this country. And so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country. We've looked today at the left or the right as the enemy. And it's worth us stepping back and understanding how we reclaim a, sense of ourself that maybe is not so rooted in politics, which is inherently oppositional. There hasn't been a permissiveness about political violence. And I do think the President of the United States has to answer for the way in which he's created that culture of permissible? They try to act like, oh, political violence. It's the Democrats and it's the liberals. And it's like

actually. Actually, I mean, I'm not going to say that like a left-leaning person cannot be violent because that would be like crazy to say that somebody can't be. But baby, Bebe, y'all got the white supremacists galore, okay? Like all of them. You got the proud boys. You got the neo-Nazis inherently in like who you are. Y'all are violent. Like, y'all, and most of your violence has to do with people that's got a little bit of melanin.

Like, I can say all these things because they are true. That's not even just free speech. These are just facts. So don't get mad that I speak the truth and I speak facts, but I literally have never. said anything to invoke violence and I challenge somebody to go and find a clip of a Democrat invoking violence. No, I think we just did that, right? You know, and these two ladies that wouldn't even bother to cover the concern about the

broader group here. They have charged the guy who has, for these tax messages, confessed to murdering a assassinating, 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, father of two, founder of Turning Point USA, that inspired so many, so many young people to become more religious, to become more conservative, and to engage in honest debate. He took him out because he didn't like his beliefs. Charlie had a different set of beliefs, and Tyler Robinson somehow thought that it was okay to kill. kill to assassinate someone that you don't agree with. So the FBI is kind of looking at. Now, how did this happen? Like, why would this have happened in this way? Were there other factors?

The deputy director, Dan Bon Geno, my friend has said, we're taking a look at everything. We've got a lot of subpoenas out there. We're dropping a whole lot of paperwork. I want to share with you something remarkable that Cash Patel said in a hearing earlier today because he too is of the view that there may have been more going on. That's the concern. In other words, was this one lone gunman or were there others that were pushing him to this place? Watch. The courts have suggested that the FBI is investigating a broader network of groups that may have had some knowledge of the shooter's plans. Can you give us any details on that following up what you already said in public? How's the FBI working to find other potential accomplices, folks who may

have known about the shooter's plans, folks who may have encouraged him, any update on the event? So in terms of what we do for an interrogation perspective, we go and reach out to the family and community immediately, and we've conducted those investigations and interrogations with local law enforcement, and we're continuing to do that because those closest to the suspect are going to hopefully know the most about the suspect and his beliefs and his ideology. On top of that, unfortunately, it has been leaked that there was a Discord chat, and for those unfamiliar with it, it's a gaming chat room online that the suspect participated in. So what we're doing, we've already done is sort of legal process, not just on Discord, so that the information we gathered is sustained. and held in a evidentiary posture that we could use in prosecution, should it be decided to do so. And we're also going to be investigating anyone and everyone involved in that Discord chat.

Okay, very good. I see the public reports that the Discord thread had as many as 20 additional users. It sounds like you're trying to run down all of that to see if that's accurate. Who else may have been on that thread? What they may have known, is that fair to say? It's a lot more than that. We're running them all down. It's a lot more than 20?

Yes, sir. And you're running all of that too good. every single one. Yeah, fantastic. Let me just turn to the broader question here of anti-religious, anti-Christian violence. Let me just give you a few stats that I'm sure that you're all too familiar with. We're going to get to some of that because that's another issue that has crept up. And in fact, a UGov poll out this week shows an increasing tolerance from some on the left, especially amongst the youth, for taking matters into their own hands in violent ways. but the new information that they're trying to track down is just how many people may have been involved

in influencing this one Tyler Robinson because again there was a discord chat apparently discord came out said yesterday they didn't see any evidence of that but now the FBI has said oh no no no no we've got about 20 people that were in this chat and we're running all of this down cash Patel speaking just last night with my former colleague sean Hannity about the issue i want to go to his sound. They're dedicating every asset we have to run the reverse daisy chain analysis of anyone that was in contact with the suspect that's

currently in custody and anyone he contacted called and text message and had chats on online social media platforms with. That's the power of the FBI. That's the resources we brought in immediately with our cell phone analytic team to use the cell phone tower data dump

system to geolocate specifically where this cell phone was and who had it. And after that, who he was talking to and Sean, let me tell you a little bit about the information we've collected. We've collected information where through witness interviews from the FBI and local law enforcement that he essentially admitted after the shooting and assassination of Charlie Kirk, the suspect admitted to it. Furthermore, the evidence and information will come out. I won't stylize the evidence. The Attorney General is absolutely right. We can't do that. But I will say

what was found in terms of information, a text message exchange where he, the suspect specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do that. And when he was asked why, he said some hatred cannot be negotiated with. Okay. So there you go. That was the text message that I then just brought to you. So that information now is being released. And again, Cash Patel just alluding to that last night. He also has suggested that, you know what, there was a radicalized group that has perhaps influenced this individual. I'll tell you, John Solomon over at Just the News, was looking into this and John Solomon had reported that there may have been a group in Utah,

and this is out there. I believe post-millennial is also reported on this, a group of people that were radical Antifa associated individuals that also were part of the transculture and a lot of anger, a lot of hate there. John Solomon's reporting led to this question from Sean Hannity to cash, and I'll let him answer it. Here we go. I made the operational decision to immediately release enhanced videos and photographs. Forgive me. Let's go to a different soundbite here. Again, Sean Hannity asking about a radicalized group that has been reported on to have been up in the mountains in Utah. John Solomon, I'm pretty sure you know, had a piece out there about a radicalized group

close to the area, up in the mountains. They seem to be very radical with the same agenda. Is that concern you what you're seeing? All of it concerns me, Sean, but I can't divulge every investigative step we're taking because I don't know. I don't want to disclose who we're going after and why we're going after them. Obviously, it's been leaked about this Discord chat, so we're going to discuss it a little bit.

But what the FBI does is identify, catalog, and bring in experts. That's what we were doing. Round the clock flying in people, evidence response teams, hostage rescue teams, special operators on our FBI planes, and transporting evidence back in real time from the crime scene in the West Coast to our labs in Quantico to address the situation of forensics immediately. And you highlighted the screwdriver that was found on top of the roof and the towel in which the firearm was found. The ravine that I walked myself along with the rooftop, I said we cannot waste a second on this DNA analysis. And we are announced today on Fox that the DNA was a positive match for the suspect in question. So now he's being charged and he may face a firing squad that is coming to us now.

They are seeking the death penalty in this case. It's really the whole thing is just surreal, right? Surreal at this point, again, is somebody who knew Charlie and knew all the goodness of Charlie and all the capability of Charlie, I'm still kind of in this position where you almost can't believe it's all true. And you can't believe that people could be so hateful in society. This is something that Donald Trump brought up. Donald Trump saying, you know what,

he believed that this was an example of the danger on the left, that the radicalization coming from the left is very, very concerning at this moment because of the willingness to take on a violent act like this. I want to go to the president, making this point to a reporter who asks whether or not there may have been others involved in radicalizing one, Tyler Robinson. Your FBI is investigating the potential role of left-wing organizations and the assassination. I'm wondering if you think if Charlie Kirk's assassin worked alone or he worked with it. I don't know.

I mean, I can tell you. He didn't work alone on the Internet because it seems that he became radicalized on the Internet. That's just by watching the same things that you're watching and hearing. It looks like he became radicalized over the Internet. And it seems like his wonderful parents brought in a wonderful neighborhood, smart guy, great boards, great marks, great student. And then something happened to him over a fairly short period of time. It looks like he was radicalized over the Internet.

and it's radicalized on the left. He's a left. A lot of problems with the left, and they get protected, and they shouldn't be protected. But as you understand, I think, very well from the tone of your question. Thank you very much.

So he got a lot of heat for that. People say, oh, no, no, no, it's on both sides. It's on both sides. They point to the Minnesota example, which was horrific. However, there's also some slight differences in that that woman was not, a national target that had just been hammered constantly over and over and over again.

You know, it certainly feels when you listen to the media talking about those on the right, anybody who supports Trump, anybody who's MAGA as being a Nazi or a racist or a fascist, it certainly feels, shall we say, like it's kind of coming from one side more than the other. And then you look at the results of a new U-Gov poll, and it does say that, you know what, most Americans, most of them say it's unacceptable, right, to take violence into their own hands. But then there's another set of data that one conservative who went on CNN had to remind the host of, because this host is living in La La Land that somehow, you know, thinks that it's bad for Donald Trump, to say, gee, you know, you can't have this kind of radicalization going on. No, here's the answer.

You can't. Okay. Thank you very much. You can't. Anyway, he took her down. He took her down hard with facts, spitting out facts. I want you to see it. This is about punishing them, them being the left, them being his political opponents. That actually, I think, is surprising to a lot of Americans, because that's not typically what you would expect to hear from the White House after. Well, let's talk about some polling that he used to justify those comments before he made them on TV. Yougov came out with a poll three days ago, talking about how each side feels about violence and support of political deaths. Liberals, 16% believe it's okay to feel joy when your political opponent is killed. Liberals, very liberal is 24%.

Conservatives, 4%. Very conservative, 3%. Justifying violence. Very liberal people have 20%. 35% answered, yes, it's okay. You're justified to issue to do violence against your political opponents. Liberals, 17%, conservatives, 8%, and very conservatives, three. That means it is six to one times, more likely in response to this poll on the left. Now, I'm not saying there's exclusivity on the left. I'm not saying that. But there is certainly a problem where six times the amount of Republicans believe that it's okay to feel joy when your political opponent is killed, murdered, whatever attacked, and that six to one, believe, that they are okay in justifying violence against political opponents. That's a problem. That's a cancer within the movement.

In other words, it's not acceptable. That's not who we are as a country. It's just not who we are. And the fact that the media for the last 10 years has been allowed to get away with saying, what they're saying over and over and over and over again, trying to brainwash an entire generation. The fact that you've got academia on board for the ride doing the exact same thing, you got a problem, okay?

And now we're living through the consequence. of that problem where you're going to be assassinated because we don't like what your thoughts are. Maybe your thoughts are gaining a little much, too much traction, therefore we're going to take you out. I'll tell you what else. Look, this administration is not holding back. This administration is now going after some of the NGOs that were backed by some very powerful people and say, hey, what kind of role did you play in all of this? I want to go again to the questioning happening on Capitol Hill today? I've always said we follow the money.

And whether it's tax based on ideology or attacks on institutions of faith or people of faith, someone's paying for it. And we are reverse tracing those steps. We are not stopping at the perpetrator themselves. We are reverse engineering to hold those accountable in our investigations to who funded them and knowingly funded them.

And we will bring the appropriate steps against them with our partners at DOJ. So things are going to happen. Okay? This is going to change. I know we're sad. I'm looking at your comments. And we're all so sad. I get it. But Charlie will not have died in vain because things are going to change. And we're going to make sure that the hate is rooted out. Hey, I'm all for free speech, but I'm never for violence. And they've taken this

speech and then they've become violent and that, my friends, is dangerous. That, my friends, is taking it way, way, way too far. A senator, Senator Chuck Grassley, is now exposing some political targeting of the very group that Charlie had organized, Turning Point USA. Boy, are we ever at a turning point, aren't we guys? I mean, they've got 37,000 new chapters that are being started all over the country. Request coming in for everyone everywhere wants to let his memory. His legacy live on, and his wife, Erica, is committed to doing that.

So it's amazing to see. But here's something important. Chuck Grassley is talking about an operation called Arctic Frost. Arctic Frost that went all the way back to 2022. This fell under Joe Biden's FBI, and they were targeting conservative groups, targeting 92 conservative groups, including Charlie Kirk's TPS, TPS, USA. They were trying to take them down because they felt. they had too much influence. Let's watch.

Central American gangs like MS-13. Now, well, it's well understood that your predecessor left you and FBI infected with politics. I'm going to provide examples of that today, including making public new whistleblower records. At your nomination hearing, I made. public records that whistleblowers provide me about Arctic Frost. Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-truths Trump FBI agent Tebow. Arctic Frost then became Jack Smith's elector case against then-citizen Trump and now President Trump. These new records show that Arctic Frost, then-Forest Trump.

was much broader than just an electoral matter. The case was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of the group that Ray FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney General's Association, and various Trump. political groups. In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals,

were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk's groups' turning point USA. In other words, Arctic Frost wasn't just a case to plead. investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. So today, Senator Johnson and I are making these records public for the entire country to see, and I hope a lot of people are interested in seeing what government can do when various agencies have a political agenda.

My investigative work has also exposed the political way in which Peter Navarro was investigated and prosecuted. When FBI agent Tebow found out that Biden's DOJ would prosecute Navarro, he said wow, great. That's a quote, unquote. Oh, my gosh. Through whistleblowers, I've attained a audio recording of special agent Gia Gardina and Special Agent Sebastian Gardner's delivery of a subpoena to Navarro.

I'm making that audio public today. Okay. Okay. So. In a court document file. All of this stuff is just coming out right now. And what I will be doing after the show is going through a lot of this because I want to see it and I want to bring it to you. And we will have that in tomorrow's program. But in other words, all this coming out with Arctic Frost, Chuck Grassley, alleging that Biden's FBI and other organizations, the DOJ, et cetera, were very politically motivated.

Don't forget, this goes back to Obamagate, right? Obamagate where they wanted to go Russia, Russia, Russia, as soon as Donald Trump had been elected, they were determined to make things difficult for him. Tulsi Gabbard speaking on wonderful podcast called All In, hosted by David Sachs, our cryptos are, ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, I want to go to Tulsi Gabbard talking about the danger of this politicization, right, that we saw happening going all the way back to when Donald Trump first won. In other words, this has been in process for a while. So when you look at what's happening, right, with poor Charlie Kirk, no longer with us and a radicalized 22-year-old kid, Tyler Robinson, who's now facing the death penalty,

here's what you need to understand. The backdrop as to how we got here. And I get it, right? Like, there's rabbit holes on the internet, but when you got the mainstream media chasing down these rabbit holes and you've got people in government encouraging these rabbit holes, you got yourself a real problem. Here's Tulsi, listen up. We have seen a trend in some of the biggest intelligence failures around politicized intelligence. And I'll just give this one example because it goes back to the creation of this organization that I lead, ODI and I. James Clapper was an intelligence community leader during the time before our country went to war with Iraq. James Clapper wrote in his book about how Dick Cheney was telling the intelligence,

I need you to come up with intelligence, basically that will just create the narrative for us to go to war with Iraq, that will give Colin Powell what he needed to go to bring to the UN as evidence of weapons of mass destruction, of evidence that Saddam Hussein is colluding with al-Qaeda.

And in James Clapper's own words, he said that he and his colleagues were so eager to do what Dick Cheney told them to do that, quote, we created something that wasn't there. there. This is as someone who served in the Iraq War, along with so many of my brothers and sisters in uniform, you can see the devastating consequences of politicized intelligence, the difference between war and peace, the difference between, in this case of President Trump with his

first administration, this threatens the integrity of our republic. and the voices of the people being shown through an election. Tulsi, you must have been enraged. Absolutely enraged. Absolutely, because we were like. I mean, we're all raged. And the media is not blameless in any of this, right? Because they're the ones that are talking to clap,

or they're the ones that have all their sources in the quote-unquote deep state, and they're pushing basically a whole bunch of propaganda, which can turn pretty dangerous. as we have just seen, okay? We are seeing the results of a media that is so willing to take things to a level that, frankly, I mean, it's just not, it's like non-normal, like it's not normal, okay? You don't say these things about other people.

Legacy media definitely, definitely has a role in all this. I mean, you get the Ms. Network coming out trying to apologize ahead of its big spinoff, right? because, oh, they're going to try, they're going to try to make some money as versont, versent. You see, they're siphoning themselves off from Comcast. Comcast is like, see, yeah, we can't wait to get rid of you people. Oh, my gosh, we got rid of Joy. Thank goodness.

We got rid of that other one that keeps interviewing Joy. Mayhan, something, I don't know what his name is. We got rid of a few of the crazies, but there's not got a few little crazies left over there. I mean, Joe and Mika have never looked so good, right? because all of a sudden they're like the only ones that are calling out the Chicago mayor saying, hey, but don't you want, don't you want a little bit more police? No, no, no, no. I only want affordable housing.

Don't give me any more police. So now they're in a position where they're like, oh, and I won't say it. But it begins with an S and goes to an H. Okay, they're like, oh my gosh, that you know what has hit the fand and you know why we know this, because it turns out that, yeah, the media is not blameless in all of this. And by the way, they had a guy on TV while Charlie was in the operating room saying effectively that, well, you know, this is what you're going to get. Are you kidding me?

This is Matt Dowd, a political analyst. I used to work with him at Bloomberg Television. I guess his only claim to fame is he's dating Maria Shriver. She must be a really stupid woman, right? I mean, he seemed kind of normal back in the Bloomberg days, but, you know, TDS is a real thing. So, deadline, publishing what these guys said, you had Brian Roberts, you had Mark Lazarus over at MSNBC saying, okay, enough is enough is enough. And they're sitting their talent down and they're saying, hey, guys, we got to have a better

exchange of ideas because we just can't bash people. We can't have incentives of comments like this. This is why we had to fire Matt Dow. Matt Dowd's like, what do you mean? I didn't do anything wrong. Mucked out. I mean, here we go. I'm just the victim in it all. Victims, victims, victims. The right wing media mob jinned up went after me with a plethora of platforms and MSNBC reacted to them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, buddy. I think that actually you were

completely out of line and saying what you said. And by the way, a lot of people have been out of line. Look at all the firings happening all across America, right? You get teachers, one crazy teacher in Westchester County apparently like showed this horrific video to the kids and said that Charlie deserved it. I've heard anecdotally of people saying that, I mean, I've also seen it on Twitter. I'm not showing it here because I'm not going to do that to you. I mean, I try and show you a lot of the other side, but that is just heinous. That is just disgusting. And so all the media is suddenly recognizing, whoops, whoopsie, Daisy, we maybe kind of sort of have a problem. You think? You think, I mean, even whoopee. She's kind of speechless for a moment here. And she kind of goes down one

path and then I think she realizes maybe this isn't totally appropriate. I'm not trying to say that like it's going to live on. What her point was is that we have free speech and we have to protect that free speech and we can't kill people because of their thoughts and what they say for goodness sakes. Here's Whoopi Goldberg. Is just because you take somebody out doesn't mean the message is going to stop. And it's important to keep that in mind because when you look at our law of Martin Luther King or any name anyone who's been assassinated in this country. We continue to fight on and that's what America offers. It says, listen, you have the right to say and feel however you want. That is a birthright. You're born with that right. You want to fight about something. Then go to the ballot box.

Go elect different people. Killing people doesn't doesn't do anything except make it a hard. horrible world for their children. We'll be right back. Okay, well, she's right. I mean, finally. I mean, I had to take the murder of Charlie Kirk. I mean, how heinous is that, right? She's right. But I'll believe it when I see it after a while. And you know why I don't fully believe this? I look at what happened on MSNBC last night. I look at what happened with Joy Reid last night. And let's start with MSNBC, right? So this lady, Rachel Maddo, who is making like 25 million bucks to host one show a week. That'll tell you, that's not going to last for long. Not one Versaunt actually has to stand on its own two feet and they don't have the money bags of Comcast.

They're helping them along. So Rachel actually gets on TV and from what I can tell, I mean, guys, tell me if I'm wrong, but I scoured the internet. I couldn't find anything where she actually talked about Charlie. I mean, her bosses are saying, hey, calm down, calm down, calm down. So what does she do? She goes back to the well. Oh, Trump is a dictator.

Are you kidding me? You really think that's appropriate for you to be saying right about now? when if we think about all this dictatorship talk and how he's a Nazi and how he's this and that and that's what led this kid to do what he did. Really, Rachel, you need to be off the air pretty darn fast. I think you need to join Joy over there in Podcastville land on Substack.

That's where you belong. Help. Trump is now aligning us with the world's dictatorships with his mentor Putin first among them. I mean, but like I said, there's no surprise about what he's doing, right? There's no open questions here. There's no black box. There's no mystery about his intentions or what type of leader he is.

He's doing the same things they all do. Again, blame an enemy. Give yourself emergency powers. Consolidate power. Enrich yourself. Never give up power. And join the club with other strong men if you can. They all do the exact same thing.

And Trump has always told us that these are, of things that he would do, there is no mystery about what he wants or how he is trying to get it. Where there is mystery and where there is drama, where the history at this moment will be told is, is in two things. The two open questions we've got are how are we going to respond as a country, right? We know what he's doing and how he's trying to do it. How are we going to respond as a country, meaning how far are we going to let him go? That story still being written today every day in your personal life.

But number two, how skilled is he going to be at trying to pull this all off? Okay. How skilled is he going to be? So it's almost as though she recorded that show way back in August or something before all this happened. It really, I mean, it feels like a very dated show. No wonder if she's not getting any number. She's not actually keeping up with the news cycle. But if she is keeping up with the news cycle, she's actually just ignoring the elephant in the room,

which might actually be just herself, right? Like, she's the elephant now because she's sitting there doubling down on dictatorship, dictatorship, and, you know, these young kids radicalized online are saying, well, we've got to get rid of the dictator that they're telling us is so darn awful. I mean, and then, you know, you go over to Joy Reid's show. She just completely ignores it all together and invites a tissue baby who's facing some serious charges on. Donald Trump said that he wanted, he said that I was, he called me all kind of names,

And he basically directed the Department of Justice to investigate my affairs. And they're using mortgage fraud as the vehicle upon which they're investigating myself, Adam Schiff, Ms. Cook, Lisa Cook, and countless others. And it is most of it, as you know, is frivolous. It's baseless because in order to prove mortgage fraud, one has to prove intent. and that's a very high standard and very high high bar. So in other words, they're ignoring the elephant in the room because the elephant happens to be them. What do you think Joy Reid was doing the whole time?

She was spouting her, and I don't even want to go back to it. We've seen a lot of it. And, oh, the other one is Letitia James. Of course, you've seen all those clips. I mean, the hate that was coming from all of them, to male, too pale, too stale, remember? she made it her mission to take down Donald Trump. And now all of a sudden, you've got management at MSNBC realizing we have a problem.

And by the way, the Trump administration has just authorized the use of all of their apparatus with the FBI, et cetera, and any intel agencies they can muster up to go after the NGOs to figure out where the money is coming from that is doing things. to try to radicalize our kids. I mean, this woman, I played this for you guys yesterday, but she says it well, right? She's on MSNBC. She's brought on as a guest. She's some podcast host.

And all of a sudden it dawns on her like, maybe we shouldn't be vilifying young white men. Maybe that's not the way to go. Something that's just come to me throughout all of this is we all contribute to the society we live in. You know, I've seen a lot of people pointing out Charlie Kurt's views on gun ownership. and this is not the same, but it made me think about an email I got after appearing on your show once. Before the election, I made a comment that I'd much rather be Kamala Harris because women were supporting her

instead of being Donald Trump because he had a bunch of young men supporting him. And I got a note that just pretty much asked me why I thought it was okay to cast young men, you know, blatantly as a group that a candidate wouldn't want support from. And that's something that stuck with me because in a world where I'm saying things like, that is also a world where a young man might feel marginalized and go into these online spaces where he's radicalized and find access to a gun. And so I just want all of us to take this moment to think about the way we contribute to the society we live in and all try to do better. I got to say, each one of us can do better. Which you're going to try and do better. I get it.

Like you feel bad now because somebody died and you realize that maybe you shouldn't have been going on and on and on and on. But that's only some of them. Again, on the MIS network, there's signature program, Rachel Maddaw doesn't even seem to notice what's happened on the program with the Joy Lady that's clearly joyless. She is just ignoring it, choosing to instead interview Letitia James about just what an awful, awful man, one Donald Trump is. I do want to say something on behalf of the FBI. You know, it's really actually pretty incredible how the FBI moved with such speed. Again, we're looking into a lot of things. We don't know a lot of things still at this moment, but it's clear that they're looking into the Discord group. We have learned from Cash

Patel that that Discord group is a lot bigger than 20. He said that in today's testimony. So that's a big deal. They are getting the necessary documentation in order to be looking into all of them. But I'll tell you this. You know what? The New York Times came out pretty harshly against our FBI. I say, oh, you know, this is Keystone cops, for goodness sake, they got the wrong guy, and they said now they had them, and then they didn't have them. But I will say this, you know what? What did it take them? 30 hours or so? That's a heck of a lot faster than finding Luigi and a few others that I can think of. So, you know, Cash Patel actually made some really smart moves. They decided to release the picture, and they augmented the picture so that people could actually see who, the suspect

to killer was. That was a big, big thing because then the family, friends and family turning on him. So thank you, Cash, for that. He's not getting any credit, but I want to take a look at him talking about what goes into, of course, releasing some of these things and making those calls. They're dedicating every asset we have to run the reverse Daisy chain analysis of anyone that was in contact with a suspect that's currently in custody and anyone he contacted called and text message and had chats on online social media platforms with. That's the power of the FBI. That's the resources we brought in immediately with our cell phone analytic team

to use the cell phone tower data dump system to geolocate specifically where this cell phone was and who had it. And after that, who he was talking to. And Sean, let me tell you a little bit about the information we've collected. We've collected information where, through witness interviews from the FBI and local law enforcement, that he essentially admitted. after the shooting and assassination of Charlie Kirk, the suspect admitted to it. Furthermore, the evidence and information will come out.

I won't stylize the evidence. The Attorney General is absolutely right. We can't do that. But I will say what was found in terms of information, a text message exchange. They got it all of that information, the text exchange that I just explained to you. To properly adjudicate this matter and let law enforcement hand off information into evidence for a court of law for prosecution. We have to go out and get search warrants.

We have to go out and get search warrants of the adjudicate. identifiers that were then built off of the prior search warrants. And we are doing that. And we are going to be interviewing scores of people on not just these chats on Discord, but any communications that this individual have. We've seized multiple electronic devices from the home of the suspect and his romantic partner. We've got computers. We've got laptops.

We have gaming systems. We've got cell phones. All of that is being triaged by the FBI because that's what we do. And the resources that the Attorney General has dedicated to this mission is allowing us to move at the speed we have. As you said, 33 hours, Sean, this individual is apprehended. Yeah, and it's because he made the call to get that information out. Look, I know we're all drained. I know it's been a tough week. I mean, we hear on the show, we're happy. We hit a million subs, but I'll tell you, this isn't the story that you want as a catalyst to get you over that. So at some point, you know,

once we get through the funeral, we're going to have a party here and we'll celebrate together because you guys have been such a big part of that. And I thank you for everything that you have done to help make this such a success. I mean that. It's a tough time. It's a tough time for the country. It's a tough time for me personally. It's a tough time for all of you that felt like, even if you didn't know Charlie, how many people keep saying to me, but I felt like I knew him. I felt like I knew him because he seemed like a friend and I respected his willingness. to have these honest debates and discussions. So thank you for being here, doing all that you do, leave a comment, let me know what you think. We're all grieving in this together. And

his legacy, I promise you, will indeed live on. I love all of you. Thank you.
