We need to stand together and we need to back him up and we need to honor his legacy and his memory and keep it going. This kid got corrupted, the one that did this heinous act, Tyler Robinson. Someone turned his heart into coal and it is believed by our own FBI that it may have not just been one person but multiple people. I talk to people. You know that. I've got sources everywhere. it's my understanding that this roommate that was in the process of transitioning, and it was also the alleged love interest of the shooter, that this person is very much being looked at, even though this person seems to be, quote-unquote, cooperating.

I'll tell you, I don't buy the text. Do you? Let me make this bigger so I can read it with you. I don't think that somebody who is as smart as this, this person was supposed to be, right? Like, and he was smart. He was, he was definitely smart because he had, like, a 36 on his ACT equivalent. I've said this before, but I'd like to translate it just because I'm not that familiar

with the ACT, into like 1,500, 1550 on the SAT, 1600, right, is the perfect score. So that's like, that's a really good score. He had a 4.0, we got a presidential scholarship for $38,000. He only lasted one semester. What happened to him? Was he radicalized in school? And if you're that smart, why do you send text messages like this? I mean, he's going on about admitting the guilt.

And it almost seems to be deliberate, to me anyways, I look at this because the roommate is like, wait, you weren't the one who did it, right? And the guy says, I am, I'm sorry. The roommate says, I thought they caught the person. No, they grabbed some crazy old dude. then they interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down.

It's quiet, almost enough to get out. But there's one vehicle lingering. The roommate says, why? And Robinson says back, why did I do it? I mean, like, don't you think you'd be like, why? Right? And like lots of exclamation points. And this is like a very calm response from the roommate.

Yeah. Well, he said I had. enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated with, negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen and they starts going back about how they're not going to have any evidence. Well, again, like a smart person wouldn't really do that. So it leaves me thinking that this doesn't add up. It just doesn't make sense. At some point, the roommate does say, I'm much more worried about you. He says, you're all I worry about love. The roommate says, I'm much more more worried about you. This is just weird. This is very, like, it feels very scripted. It doesn't feel

normal. So this Lance Twigs, again, who was living with Tyler Robinson, is one of the people very much still under investigation, as I understand this, but he's not the only one. There's a whole broad network, and there's concern that the broad network is being somehow sponsored indirectly or directly by foreign actors that want to see us taken down. This came up the other day. Senator Kennedy, Cash Patel, talking about this very issue. Listen it. Did Mr. Clark's assassin act alone?

As I've said since the beginning, Senator, it is very much an ongoing investigation. And I can't speak to the state charges. That's for the state to address on their own. But we are providing them with the same investigatory findings. we're parting the department. And as I noted to Senator, I believe it was Cornyn or Holly, that there are a number of individuals that are currently being investigated and interrogated and a number yet to be investigated and interrogated specific to that chat room. So we are very much in our ongoing posture of investigation. So others could have been involved.

And did you hear that? He said, others could have been involved. And Cash Patel says, yes, sir, they have at least 20 that were in the chat room. But there's, There are a lot of questions. There were some funky groups like out in the mountains there. In Salt Lake City, I guess queers for Salt Lake City is what it was called. So they wiped clean all of their social media after this happened. There's been some reports of people talking about this ahead of time. Don't forget, we talked about this.

Maybe Thursday of last week, there were songs written on accounts that had come out of Salt Lake City about how Charlie was going to die on that particular day and how that Charlie Kirk's death would not be enough. So these things were out there and they were out there before this happened. So again, this is why you have senators asking these questions like Josh Hawley. Of course, it 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've already said in public? How is 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 any of that?

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 an 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 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. You guys heard that, right? It's a lot more than that. So more than 20. So Tyler Robinson, of course, charged. He allegedly admits it, right?

They're in that text exchange with the roommate. I don't fully buy it. Curious to see what you guys think on that as I look at these comments. here in real time. But I would also say that, and this is what upsets me so much, this sort of growing anti-Americanism that is sprouting up in a really massive way, where increasingly, especially if you go to some of these elite college campuses, there's some kind of acceptance of, you know, maybe you do need violence if you can, you know, if you can take out the person with the different opinion that you don't agree with. It's a UGov study that just came out the other day saying

that most Americans say it's unacceptable, like most Americans, right, to be happy about public figures' death, but younger and more liberal Americans are far more likely to call it acceptable. And by the way, you've seen all the horrible, horrible stuff online, right? You've seen probably not on my show because I just refuse to show it, but, you know, I see it because I see what comes through on TikTok, et cetera, and I see it all on X, and it's bad. There are people that are celebrating this. And then there are people like those Democrats, 58 of them, that don't have the common decency or kindness in their heart to actually pass this resolution and want to somehow tear him down and his family down in this moment and need like Jimmy Kimmel, right?

Like it's all coming full circle here. Jimmy Kimmel is part of that crowd that just can stand to think that maybe there is this violence out there. But take a look at this UGov study, okay? Political ideology, those that are very, very liberal, guess what? 24.4.4.4.4.4.5.5.5.5.5. Guess what? 24% of them say violence is always or usually acceptable. What the heck is that? You got 20% that are very liberal saying, not sure, not sure. You get the liberals, again, 10% say always are usually acceptable to use violence, 17%, maybe, you know, not sure. I mean, and again, it's dominating amongst the youth.

if you compare it to the conservatives, I mean the conservatives want no part of this. They would never say that violence is acceptable. And then when you go over to the mainstream media, this one got me the other night over on CNN, some woman hosting a show there, is again trying to echo this narrative that they couldn't possibly be coming from liberal extremist groups like Josh Hawley and Cash Patel and Senator Kennedy are investigating, our FBI are investigating, that couldn't possibly be happening, and I love

how she gets shot down with cold, hard facts like the ones I just showed you. Watch. 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. Ugov 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, 24%. Conservatives, 4%, very conservatives, 3%. Justifying violence. Very liberal people have 25% answered, yes, it's okay.

You justify to do violence against your political opponents. 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. Absolutely. It's a total problem. It is a cancer within the movement. And you know what? Donald Trump knows this, recognizes this. And so the Democrats are trying to manipulate and spin and turn the facts, and they turn to Jimmy Kimmel to help him do it. But guess what? The new FCC's not letting that go down.

Here's the president saying, you know what? These left-wing organizations, they have to be called out. He's looking at labeling Antifa for what we all believe it to be. Take a look. Your FBI is investigating the potential role left-wing organizations and the assassination. I'm wondering if you think if Charlie Kirk's assassin worked alone or if 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 what 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 the president is now looking at labeling Antifa as a terror organization, and he wants to do so because it is believed that Antifa is being bankrolled by foreigners outside of this country that are trying to hurt us from within. I remember talking to Charlie Kirk back in 2018. He personally had been attacked. He was leaving a diner, and he was attacked in Philadelphia. He had about 50 Antifa people around him.

There must have been like one Antifa person inside the diner started yelling at him. He goes outside and they had like radio signal to 50 people. And his point to me at the time was that this is getting really serious. The violence is getting bad. And it was shortly after Maxine Waters had been calling for everybody to just, you know, be explicit with somebody who worked for the administration or was a Republican. And I think we've all been through it. I can remember being at my parents' club once and walking in for a Fourth of July,

celebration, a girl that I grew up with that I'd known some of the time I was like five years old, physically turned her body on me, gave me an up-down look of total disgust, physically turned her body away from me because somehow that was okay. I had a grade school teacher who had been a mentor to me start lashing out on Facebook. I mean, I didn't do anything because, you know, we're 600,000 strong over there on Facebook if I wanted to get everybody worked up and like take on the music teacher. I could have. I'm not going to do that. I'm not, you know, like, I'm like, what is it? Like these everyday people like now want to go after me, Charlie had it bad where they were attacking him to the point where he had to get security. And I'm told by sources

very, very close to him and close to this event, he had six security people there. Nobody did a drone. Like, they should have done a drone, okay? That was a, that was a mistake because maybe they would have seen the sniper on the roof if they had done the drone. But listen, we've got to do something. about these groups. Look at what I've got, I'm pointing to right here. A global web of Chinese propaganda leads to U.S. Tech mogul. Okay, this is a guy, Neville Sigmund, okay, who basically is being called up by the New York Times as well as the Daily Beast for having funneled a ton of information, misinformation, and money into these misinformation campaigns. This just came up this week in Congress. They're also looking at Soros and some others, like who's funding this stuff? Do they

even know where their money's going. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't care. I've always said, we follow the money. And whether it's tax based on ideology or taxed 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 it could mean someone like this. I mean, Congress has launched an investigation. They have issued a subpoena on a Palina Luna being a big part of that out of Florida. They say that this guy is involved in what China tries to call a smokeless war.

He, on the other hand, is professing his innocence saying, I categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of or work for, take orders from or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives. But, you know, if you look at what the New York Times is alleging if you look at what even Daily Beast, so we got this across the spectrum here with a lot of liberal publications, they seem to think that he's had a hand in some of the radicalization.

This also came up on Twitter recently, where they were talking about this armed queers of Salt Lake City being one of these groups that may have actually received funding from possibly Cuba. This is the logo of the group out of Salt Lake City, and so this is a group

that it is believed is being looked at and is being scrutinized by the FBI in terms of whether or not they had some involvement here. Meanwhile, you also have to recognize that this is something that's happening like all over college campuses everywhere. Here's a guy, David Collick, I think, is his name, and he put this up on Twitter. I wanted to share it with you. He went out to Georgia Tech. This is days after Charlie's gone down there, and he's looking at all kinds of really, angry, anti-fascist. stuff. But of course, they all think he's a fascist or a dictator because that's what MSNBC and the view. And Jimmy Kimmel keep telling you. Here we go.

Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, Georgia. And the first thing I see when I come to the campus is the fall of the Trump fascist regime beginning November 5, 2025. Refusefascism.org needs to be investigated. 2028 is way too late. Trump must go now. If you walk with me here, we have another sign. This is the scary part. The time has. has come for the fall of the Trump fascist regime, beginning November 5th. No, in the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America. All over the campus, similar signs. No, in the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America, refusefascism.org,

followed by a sign that we already read. This is happening all over this campus. So you got to ask yourself, when you see posters like this nonstop, what are they advocating for? Are they inciting certain events that we have seen recently? The time has come for the fall of the Trump fascist regime. The time has come. I want to say that again, the time has come. That is what left-leaning organization on college campuses at Georgia Tech are propagating to college students.

So when I walk around and I ask students, do you condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk? And they say no. It's most likely because of stuff like this. Yeah. So that has to change. Okay? That has to change. And so we need this full investigation to figure out who exactly,

is pushing this because I don't think it's coming from good wholesome Americans. I think it's coming from some foreign sources that want to do us harm. And then, of course, you've got liberals trying to take a political advantage of all this. I mean, for goodness sakes, they clearly can't see the force for the trees because these lawmakers in New York getting themselves arrested because they want to defend illegals. It's like, what about the people who are here legally? Like, do you care about us?

Apparently not. Take a look. They're out there, causing all kinds of commotion there in New York City today. We are not by a fascist president. We shall not be moved. I am here to ensure that we protect all of our fellow constituents. We shall not. It is not illegal to be undocumented.

We shall not be moved. We shall not be moved. Okay. So they're saying we shall not be moved. Okay, here. We're here. We're not going anywhere. We shall not be moved. They have like the lamest of songs, right? And that's what they did. And so eventually they had to arrest them to get them out of the way. One of them included Bradlanders, who's, you know, basically Mam Dami's sidekick. Here's some more video of it. A lot of yelling.

Okay, that's the reality. Like, you got to move. Are you going to be placed under arrest? They just wanted to create this commotion. So 11 of them were arrested. And I guess plenty of people were also arrested outside. Here they are chanting border walls have to go. Okay.

So we had more arrests going on there in New York City. And again, this harkens back to the question we keep getting at, which is what the heck are these people doing? Why aren't they looking out for action? Americans here in this country. Don't forget, look at New York, what they were getting, the Roosevelt Hotel, which was a beautiful hotel at one point, Midtown, East Side. They turned it into a shelter, basically, for all of these people, except it wasn't really a shelter because you still got maid service daily. I mean, hey, I'd like daily maid service. Thank you very much. And they

gave you little credit cards with over 300 bucks a week so you could buy ethnically appropriate food, because, you know, you just can't give people peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Forget about it. No, we've got to give ethnically appropriate food. We've got to give daily maids. service. We get a hand out cell phones. What is going on? And then, you know, La Monica, she's the queen of this. La Monica, MacGyver, she's not just Monica. She's La Monica. I love that. Like, La Regina, the queen, La Monica. You know, it's just hysterical to me. Anyway, La Monica, Magyver, first term congresswoman is now facing 17 years in prison because she decided to not just sing a little song about how we're not going to be moved, but she decided

in all her glory out there in her red pantsuit to take on these officers and to actually, if it, you know, if I'm looking at the same video you're looking at, it looks like she pretty much assaulted them. You see this? You see that? Boom. I mean, that's, that's bad, okay? And we've watched this together, I know a lot. But this is, whoa, that's the one, okay? That's the one. So now she has been indicted and she is going to have to face trial. She's pleading not guilty and she says they're just going after me because I'm a black woman. I don't think so. I think they're going after you because you decided to sock it to one of the federal law enforcement officers, okay? So, like, times have changed and those excuses aren't going to work anymore. And,

And I think Americans are actually asking for all of these parties to stand up for what really, really does matter. And that means the Americans that are here and that are here legally. Okay. And by the way, this isn't that controversial. You ask any immigrant who came here legally, and they tell you the same thing. Quick shout out to our friends over at Balance of Nature.

So as we go into the weekend here, again, knowing that the FBI is looking at multiple suspects,

and there are still a lot of questions as to what happened, I think, you know, more than anything, we just need to remember the goodness of Charlie. We need to remember what he represented, what he wanted. what he wanted. And his legacy has got to live on, right? Like his legacy has got to live on in a meaningful way for all of us. I think this is exactly what he would want. Without a doubt, I know it's what he would want because it was just a good person through and through. He was someone who really cared about the country. He cared about young people. He cared about the direction we were heading in. He cared about his family. He cared about God.

He wanted all of us to have a relationship with God, and he'll be missed every day, every single day. I know by so many of you. So his funeral is this weekend. It's going to be a huge crowd. It's going to be a huge crowd out there in Arizona. The president is attending, and we all have him in our hearts, and we will hold him forever dear. His wife, Erica, has just been named CEO of Turning Point, so she's got a lot of responsibility being put and placed in her,

but I think she's ready for the job. I mean, I'll tell you, he picked a good one. He picked a good one in her, and we will honor his legacy forever. Thank you for being here. Please subscribe, and we'll continue the conversation throughout the weekend.
