FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

Here's some of the latest on what's

0:01

going on with the Charlie Kirk shooting

0:04

by Tyler Robinson. Tyler Robinson

0:06

apparently is not cooperating with

0:08

authorities,

0:10

but there's now talk about a DNA link.

0:13

And so, we're going to watch Cash Patel

0:15

talk about that. Also, a lot of folks

0:17

talking about how this rifle in this

0:20

newer box right here may not have been

0:23

the firing weapon. This weapon was found

0:26

with shell casings such as catch this

0:30

fascist arguing, you know, these

0:32

potential leftist tendencies of Tyler

0:35

Robinson. A lot of speculation around

0:37

how this scope couldn't have reasonably

0:40

been fired in this position. Some people

0:43

questioning if the scope slid back after

0:45

being shot. If this is somebody who had

0:47

a new rifle and they didn't tighten it

0:48

appropriately and that's why maybe one

0:50

shot was taken, it slid back and, you

0:52

know, the individual left. Um, here's an

0:55

example where somebody shows their uh

0:58

very similar boltaction rifle. You know,

1:00

here's here's obviously your bolt action

1:02

uh showing the alignment of the scope

1:05

with the uh back of uh of the rifle here

1:07

before you get into the stock. Uh so,

1:10

you know, a lot about this, but what

1:12

apparently is now coming out is that uh

1:15

Kosh Patel is saying investigators have

1:17

found DNA evidence linking Tyler

1:20

Robinson to the scene of last week's

1:22

shooting. that apparently DNA was found

1:24

on a screwdriver, which I have to say

1:26

that's kind of impressive to lift DNA

1:28

off a screwdriver. Uh, I mean, I suppose

1:31

it's a simple, clean surface, but boy, I

1:33

mean, you'd have to get like sweat or

1:35

something off of there and just swab a

1:38

screwdriver. That's pretty impressive.

1:40

But anyway, and on a towel, uh, I mean,

1:43

who knows? Maybe that was like a hair

1:44

follicle or whatever because, you know,

1:46

hair itself doesn't have DNA. It's your

1:48

hair root. I guess it wouldn't be a

1:50

follicle. the root of a hair that would

1:52

have the DNA. But anyway, DNA was found

1:53

on a screwdriver as well as a towel that

1:56

was wrapped around the firearm believed

1:58

to be used in the shooting. I can report

2:00

today that DNA hits from the towel that

2:03

was wrapped around the firearm and the

2:05

DNA on the screw are positively

2:09

processed for the suspect in custody.

2:11

Now, we'll take a listen to some parts

2:13

of this here. This is where you see the

2:15

FBI discuss this idea of uh Tyler's

2:19

roommate uh transitioning. The thing to

2:23

talk about here is yesterday we spoke at

2:25

length about the potential uh lack of a

2:29

home that Tyler had a community, right?

2:32

and his relationship with his

2:33

potentially trans roommate and then

2:35

whether Tyler Robinson is gay or trans

2:38

himself or whatever and and how all of

2:40

this could be tied into mental illness

2:42

and and why would he do such a thing. A

2:44

lot of this is as we always have to

2:46

remember speculation to some extent

2:48

because we we don't have the answers. We

2:50

don't know what drugs Tyler Robinson was

2:53

on if any. We don't know uh all of the

2:56

facts or details yet. But these are

2:58

things we're going to be looking for. So

3:00

let's get into this.

3:01

>> So roommate was indeed a boyfriend uh

3:04

who who is transitioning from uh from

3:07

male to female and that that uh that he

3:09

is cooperating with uh with authorities.

3:13

>> A Fox News alert. Charlie Kirk's murder

3:16

suspect refusing to cooperate.

3:17

>> Refusing to cooperate, but then they

3:18

find this DNA evidence. So, what we're

3:20

going to do now is let's fast forward a

3:21

little bit and let's get into the Cash

3:24

Patel interview and let's see what Patel

3:26

has to say. around 5:00 p. p.m. local on

3:29

September 11th was walk the entire crime

3:31

scene, including the foots the sub

3:33

suspect himself took. And what we

3:36

learned was there was evidence, DNA

3:38

evidence that could be collected and had

3:40

been collected, including a screwdriver

3:42

that was found on the rooftop. Also, we

3:44

went over to the scene in the wooded

3:46

area where the fire

3:48

>> Oh, the screwdriver, by the way, that

3:50

could be what he used to adjust the

3:53

scope with. And maybe he just didn't do

3:55

a good job. Who knows? arm was discarded

3:58

and the firearm had a towel wrapped

4:00

around it. It's important. I'll get back

4:01

to that later. I even walked into the

4:03

wooded area in the ravine. So, I knew

4:05

from my investigative experience what I

4:07

>> By the way, big respect for Cash Patel

4:10

being there and actually going to the

4:12

scene himself. I think this is a great

4:14

way for the administration to show how

4:16

serious they're taking this. And I think

4:19

it's awesome they sent Vance and Cash

4:21

Patel there

4:22

>> could bring to the table and what

4:24

decisions I needed to make and having

4:26

the support of President Trump and the

4:28

full support of the

4:29

>> Oh, somebody saying the screwdriver was

4:31

to break down the gun. Well, remember we

4:32

saw him carrying it in his pants. It's

4:35

possible that it was not necessarily to

4:38

break down the gun. I suppose it could

4:39

have been. It might have been to

4:40

assemble the gun because he had it in

4:43

his pants, right? So maybe, you know, to

4:45

to like get the scope seated, he needed

4:48

the screwdriver.

4:49

>> The White House was what we needed for

4:51

these resources to happen. And I can

4:53

report today that the DNA hits from the

4:56

towel that was wrapped around the

4:58

firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver

5:01

are positively processed for the suspect

5:04

in custody.

5:05

>> Let's go.

5:05

>> So, Mr. Director, that that is vital.

5:07

That is breaking news.

5:08

>> I mean, remember, people are always

5:10

innocent uh until proven guilty, but

5:12

this is pretty damning, right?

5:13

especially if he's not cooperating. It

5:15

does sound like his boyfriend or

5:17

roommate or whatever it is, girlfriend.

5:19

Nobody really knows what to call the

5:20

person at this point, is cooperating

5:22

with the FBI. So, we'll see. We also got

5:24

a report now FBI is investigating at

5:25

least seven social media accounts that

5:28

appear to have prior Holy crap. No way.

5:32

The FBI is investigating at least seven

5:35

social media accounts that appear to

5:37

have prior knowledge of the Charlie Kirk

5:41

Association assassination plan. I can't

5:43

even say it correctly because that that

5:46

is a huge allegation. That is a huge

5:49

allegation that potentially there were

5:51

seven social media accounts that knew

5:54

this was happening because that means

5:57

they didn't end up saying anything,

5:59

right? That's where it gets bad is if

6:01

you knew this was going to happen and

6:03

you didn't say anything about it. That's

6:06

dirty. That now you're complicit in

6:09

murder.

6:11

That's that's scary. Uh so wow. Wow. If

6:16

that's true, that's huge. Okay, let's uh

6:19

let's keep going.

6:20

>> News and vital information because now

6:22

you have the casings uh for the the the

6:25

gun. So you connect the gun. Now you got

6:28

his DNA on it. That's huge. But I also

6:30

want to get to another part of

6:31

>> I just got to interrupt. Sorry. Not not

6:33

I just got to interrupt. We have the DNA

6:35

on the screwdriver that was found on the

6:37

rooftop and the towel that the firearm

6:40

was wrapped in. The firearm itself. This

6:42

is a great point. Thanks. Thanks for

6:43

raising it. That is being processed by

6:45

ATF ATF laboratories in Maryland. And I

6:49

believe they'll speak to that at a later

6:51

date when their process is incomplete.

6:53

But I just want to let you know the FBI

6:54

handled the screwdriver and the towel

6:55

found on

6:56

>> That is important clarification, Mr.

6:58

director, I want to get to the 20

7:01

members in that group chat. Have they

7:03

been brought in from questioning? And

7:06

the group chat that we from our

7:07

reporting that we're hearing is from

7:09

after the assassination. Do you have the

7:12

messages from before the assassination?

7:17

>> Well, let me take a step back and tell

7:19

you what we were doing while we were

7:21

there and how we were led to the suspect

7:23

so that this all fits into the puzzle.

7:25

We as soon as we learned of the

7:28

shooting, we were able to at uh I think

7:31

Charlie Kirk was shot at 12:23 uh local

7:34

time on September 10th. Uh by 12:39 p.m.

7:37

local time, FBI assets were on scene

7:40

securing the scene. Uh we then uh

7:43

launched at 10:00 a.m. the next day, the

7:45

first images of the suspect. Uh myself

7:48

and the deputy arrived at 5:00 p.m.

7:49

local time on September 11th. And then

7:52

what we did was decided to have a press

7:55

conference at 8:00 p.m. local where we

7:57

issued for the first time FBI obtained

8:00

photo video footage that we seized from

8:02

the security camera surveillance system

8:04

and new images, new images, enhanced

8:07

images, we decided I decided to release

8:09

immediately to the public because we

8:11

were working with the public and the

8:13

media to find this killer. Shortly after

8:16

that 8:00 p.m. release at 1000 p.m.

8:18

local time, the suspect was in custody.

8:20

Why? because the father informed us

8:22

pursuant to an interview of him.

8:24

>> Yeah, it was the uncle. The uncle saw

8:27

the picture. So, the Wall Street Journal

8:29

reported that the uncle saw the picture.

8:31

The picture is what led to the arrest.

8:34

So, the FBI identified the individual.

8:37

They had their press conference. I

8:39

covered this and they said in a shortly

8:41

we'll be releasing photos. When the

8:43

photo was released, the uncle saw the

8:45

photo. The uncle then gets on the phone

8:48

and calls the father and the father

8:51

says, "My day just went to shit." Well,

8:54

duh.

8:56

Nei and then of course the the uncle and

8:58

the father dialogued that they had no

9:01

idea why Tyler Robinson would do this.

9:05

Then it turned to the father and

9:08

apparently the minister of of that

9:11

family, uh maybe their local church or

9:13

whatever. Remember, they're from a small

9:15

town, seems to be very uh, you know, a

9:18

very Christian uh, community, very small

9:21

town, and uh, potentially if Tyler

9:25

Robinson had, you know, other sexual

9:27

tendencies that wouldn't fit in, meaning

9:29

that potentially he had mental health

9:32

issues before he left home, then went to

9:34

a school that he ended up dropping out

9:36

of after a semester there, suggesting he

9:38

couldn't fit in over there as well.

9:40

We're not looking for excuses here.

9:41

We're just trying to put together the

9:43

pieces of the puzzle here to see, okay,

9:44

here's here was a person that even his

9:47

mother, who was a social worker,

9:49

couldn't identify, was having problems,

9:52

which is weird because the Thomas Krooks

9:55

uh assassin, the Trump assassin,

9:57

attempted assassin, his mother and

10:00

father were social workers. It's just

10:02

weird. It's all weird. But it was the

10:04

uncle who saw the picture. So the

10:06

picture led to this capture

10:08

>> that he looked at the video that we

10:11

>> Yes. And then I see somebody in the

10:12

Alfonso in the comments says, "So, did

10:14

they get the 100K?" The FBI did release

10:17

a bounty for $100,000 for information

10:19

leading to the arrest. I hope they did.

10:21

Hopefully the FBI doesn't loophole out

10:23

of that because they definitely made him

10:24

turn himself in. Uh, you know, they did

10:26

their part as as you're supposed to do.

10:29

But, uh, that bounty was huge. Okay. You

10:32

usually only see that for FBI top 10

10:34

most wanted people. That is a huge

10:36

bounty. You usually see 10 to 20K for

10:38

these bounties. 100K. That was a huge

10:42

historically huge bounty and I think it

10:44

was probably Trump getting on the phone

10:45

being like catch this son of a [ __ ]

10:48

This is uh you know this is an assault

10:50

on MAGA and we're not standing for you

10:52

know that I think that's what happened

10:53

here. He

10:54

>> released that evening and the enhanced

10:56

photos and identified this suspect.

10:58

That's how fast the FBI was working to

11:00

put out information in real time. And

11:03

for comparative sake the Boston bombing

11:05

the FBI didn't release images for 3

11:07

days. We know we didn't have three days.

11:09

We made I made an executive decision on

11:11

an investigative and operational need

11:13

and it turned out to be the right move

11:14

because the men and women of the FBI

11:16

said that's what we should be doing.

11:18

>> Yeah. I mean like look I I don't think

11:21

like I have my own criticisms of of some

11:23

of the things that Kos Patel does. Like

11:25

I think sometimes some of the things he

11:26

says are confusing. Uh you know I again

11:29

like I'll walk some of that back. It

11:32

doesn't matter for the context of this

11:33

video. My opinion about Patel does not

11:35

matter. Uh, but that now qualifying that

11:39

my opinion doesn't matter. I will say I

11:41

personally believe that was a good

11:43

decision to release the photo because

11:45

ultimately it proved results.

11:48

>> Video was released. We said it here on

11:50

Fox and Friends. Someone's going to

11:51

recognize this this person

11:53

>> because someone was friends with him,

11:56

his family. Someone knows this guy.

11:58

Those images were crystal clear. Tell us

12:01

what you know about his background.

12:03

>> I'm honestly surprised the kid didn't

12:05

wear a mask. childhood, his father.

12:07

>> Like, if you had a ski mask on, you know

12:08

how much harder it'd be to find this

12:10

schmuck right now if he had a ski mask

12:12

on.

12:14

I And I know that's weird. Like, how are

12:16

you going to wear a ski mask and not get

12:18

people to call the cops on you? Even a

12:20

COVID mask, you know, do the do the

12:22

Luigi Magion, wear a wear a, you know,

12:25

an N95 and sunglasses with a hoodie.

12:29

Dude, you couldn't see him at all. But

12:31

he didn't. He had his face out clear as

12:33

day. Hey, I mean, he had sunglasses, but

12:35

who cares?

12:36

>> Who had to turn him in?

12:39

>> And and I'm sorry, I didn't mean to

12:40

ignore the last question. Going back to

12:42

the group chats real quick, there's more

12:43

than 20 individual.

12:44

>> Somebody says you don't get out of the

12:45

event with a ski mask. I agree. The ski

12:47

mask is not the best example, but

12:49

remember, he also wasn't in the event.

12:51

You know, he was able to escape right

12:53

into the parking lot, which we suspected

12:55

before we got the footage that that's

12:57

exactly what the shooter would do, and

12:59

it's exactly what ended up happening.

13:01

>> But this is a great point. I want to lay

13:03

out how this works. People thinks we can

13:04

just get in these group chats and

13:07

immediately find out who's in there.

13:08

>> Somebody's like, "Don't don't help the

13:09

crazies." Well, I mean, this is a red

13:11

flag, right? If you see somebody with a

13:12

mask and glasses and a hoodie on, you

13:15

know, you should be a little sused out.

13:16

It's more of a warning.

13:18

>> We, the FBI, are the investigatory body

13:20

supporting multiple prosecutions and

13:22

ongoing investigations. And that's

13:24

another point. Our investigation at the

13:25

FBI is ongoing. Um, and there are scores

13:29

of people in this Discord chat room. But

13:31

we have to effectuate legal process. We

13:33

have to go out there with search

13:35

warrants so that if prosecutors want to

13:37

later use this evidence. It's not

13:39

tainted by being illegally obtained. We,

13:41

the FBI, are running the investigation

13:43

pointly on the Discord chat group. There

13:46

are scores of individuals that are going

13:47

to be spoken to. There are also lots of

13:49

family members and friends that have

13:51

already been spoken to. And one more

13:52

point on forensics. We were able to

13:54

obtain in record time the text message

13:57

chain between the suspect and his living

13:59

partner as well as other uh critical

14:02

cellular information from our CAST team

14:05

that analyzes cell phone data towers in

14:08

the area to pinpoint the locations of

14:10

the suspect and other individuals he was

14:12

speaking with. This is critical.

14:14

>> Yeah. Just so you know how that works,

14:19

all phones are tracked on their

14:21

locations. We don't necessarily know

14:24

who's who. But if we have a suspect

14:27

and like you zoom into let's say my

14:30

house right now, you might see two dots.

14:33

You'll see a Lauren dot and a Kevin dot.

14:36

You don't necessarily know which one's

14:38

which. But then you see the dot go to

14:42

Starbucks. And then I post on Instagram.

14:44

Yo, I'm at Starbucks. Whatever. Right

14:46

now you know that of those two dots,

14:48

that one is probably Kevin. Now you

14:51

could follow that dot around the world

14:54

wherever you want. So you don't have to

14:56

necessarily know like what you could do

14:58

is look at all right whose dot was on

15:00

that roof and just follow that dot where

15:02

it goes. You don't have to know that

15:04

that's Tyler Robinson's phone. You just

15:06

have to know that that dot was at that

15:08

roof and we're going to follow that dot.

15:10

So the cell phone tracking data is

15:13

really really scary good right now.

15:16

Really scary good. And that voids, by

15:18

the way, like that goes way past all

15:19

your privacy concerns because it's not

15:22

identified to you. So, anybody can get

15:25

this data almost. Uh, it's really scary

15:28

>> information that the FBI processed and

15:30

got to prosecutors so they can lawfully

15:33

use it in a court of law. And, uh, our

15:35

our investigation, our interviews

15:37

continue, but we've learned some

15:38

shocking things when we, uh, spoke to

15:40

his family and friends as well.

15:42

>> You want to share them,

15:44

>> those shocking things?

15:45

>> Uh, sure. And I and my my my job as FBI

15:49

director is not to speak to motive, is

15:51

to speak to the facts. And that's what

15:53

I'm going to do. His family has

15:56

collectively told investigators that he

16:00

subscribed to left-wing ideology and

16:02

even more so in these last couple of

16:04

years.

16:05

>> And he uh had a text message exchange.

16:08

>> And remember what we found yesterday? We

16:10

we discussed this yesterday in our

16:12

research that

16:14

I most most Americans are more moderate

16:18

than the extreme social media that they

16:21

might listen to. Like if you you might

16:23

listen to Fox News and you might

16:25

yourself recognize that they're somewhat

16:26

extreme sometimes, you know, very one

16:29

one directional. But that doesn't mean

16:32

you're extreme. This is just normal.

16:33

This is the way media works today. This

16:35

is the way social media works. The

16:37

extreme gets the attention. That's the

16:39

way the algos work. So that's what

16:40

algos, that's what creators uh and and

16:43

that's what these media stations cater

16:44

to. That's the mainstream way. That

16:46

doesn't make you extreme. However, if

16:48

you are really solidly on the far right

16:51

or or even just really solidly deep in

16:53

the right or deep into the left, you

16:55

fail to recognize the perspectives of

16:57

the other side typically. So this Tyler

17:00

Robinson, if it is true that he was so

17:02

deeply ingrained in far-left ideology,

17:04

it is it it makes sociological sense

17:08

that he had no respect for the

17:09

perspectives of the people on the right,

17:11

disconnected from reality.

17:13

>> The suspect with another individual in

17:16

which he claimed that he had an

17:17

opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and

17:19

he was going to do it because of his

17:21

hatred for what Charlie stood for. That

17:24

are those are factually accurate.

17:26

>> Nobody reported that. That's insane. So

17:29

he told people he was going to take him

17:31

out. That's complicit. That person is

17:34

complicit in murder.

17:35

>> Investigatory findings by the FBI that

17:37

we've handed over to the local

17:39

authorities and the federal authorities

17:41

to make their prosecutorial decisions.

17:43

But I believe in this instance of such

17:44

public importance, the public has a

17:46

right to know. And I've told you I'm

17:48

committed to transparency. And that's

17:49

what I'm doing here today.

17:50

>> Why Why didn't that person that he was

17:52

talking to, why didn't that person say

17:54

something?

17:55

>> Yeah, exactly.

17:57

Um, you know, our investigation is

17:59

ongoing. That's a great question and and

18:01

we don't have an answer on that just

18:03

yet.

18:03

>> But Mr. Director, you're right. Your job

18:06

is not to speak to ideology, but you do

18:09

have the BAU, the behavior analysis unit

18:12

that are there. And my sources, people

18:15

that are within the bureau and outside

18:17

that used to be FBI,

18:19

>> tell me that the BAU has been encouraged

18:22

not to tackle the transgender issue from

18:25

an ideology standpoint. Have you heard

18:28

that? Are you tackling that? I know

18:30

you've only been there recently, but you

18:33

can't have a political slant saying

18:35

we're not going to attack different

18:36

political ideologies because it's going

18:38

to offend someone.

18:41

>> You're absolutely right. And that's why

18:43

we, me and the deputy, have been

18:44

quarterbacking this investigation

18:45

ourselves. There is no one at the FBI

18:47

that is going to politicize this

18:48

investigation. There's no one at

18:50

Quantico or anywhere else that is going

18:52

to say we are not looking at X or Y. We

18:54

are looking at the facts and that is why

18:56

we are releasing the facts in record.

18:57

>> I actually I do appreciate them

18:59

releasing this info right away. You

19:01

know, I'm just also at the same time

19:02

looking here like yeah, here's an

19:04

article influencers on right and left

19:06

dealing with doubts and fears about

19:07

security and stuff. You know, Ben

19:09

Shapiro did this whole like marketing

19:10

pitch. let's be real and call it what it

19:12

is. He did this whole pitch about like

19:13

we're not going to cancel events on

19:15

colleges. We're going to we're going to

19:16

go to colleges, you know, f these people

19:18

trying to cause fear. And that's great

19:20

messaging. On one hand, that's

19:21

fantastic. It's like, you know what?

19:23

Good for you, Ben Shapiro. Stand up for

19:24

the American rights to free speech and

19:26

don't be, you know, don't cower away.

19:29

But last Wednesday, they also literally

19:31

cancelled a Ben Shapiro event in Seami

19:33

Valley, California, which is like 40

19:35

minutes from me. And uh they canled it

19:38

after the shooting. So, it's kind of

19:39

like on one hand you're like, "Oh, we're

19:41

not going to cancel our tour." On the

19:42

other hand, you're canceling. Like,

19:44

there's just a lot of doubt right now

19:45

going on with security. And then I think

19:47

probably the lessons that you learn from

19:50

this and the Trump shooting is you just

19:51

can't do outdoor events. It's sad

19:53

because in an indoor environment, you

19:55

could security screen and and you know,

19:57

you could actually conduct proper

19:59

security, which you just can't do as

20:00

well on these outdoor events.

20:02

>> Fashion. If you go back and look at

20:04

historical cases like Luigi Manion and

20:06

the Boston bombing, how long did it take

20:08

the bureau to release information to the

20:09

public? We're not doing that. Those two

20:11

manhunts took 5 days and they happened

20:14

in downtown major metropolises. We

20:16

apprehended our suspect in 33 hours

20:19

because we were transparent and open

20:20

with the American public and we're going

20:22

to continue to do that. So, anyone that

20:24

thinks that the FBI

20:25

>> Oh, by the way, just adding to this

20:27

family talk because I've been talking

20:28

about this. Here's a piece literally as

20:30

well. The governor of Utah, Spencer Cox

20:33

of Utah, provided new information on um

20:36

on Tyler Robinson, saying there was

20:38

clearly a leftist ideology with this

20:41

with uh this assassin. He said, citing

20:44

the suspect's family and romantic

20:47

partner. We continue to get more

20:49

confirmation that this person that he

20:51

was living with was a romantic partner.

20:55

>> Is not on top of its game. and that me

20:57

and the deputy and everybody in

20:58

leadership in our Salt Lake City field

21:00

office in Quantico is doing anything

21:02

politically, I'm not having it. And if

21:04

you've hearing anything else about it,

21:05

they are lying to you. We're on it.

21:08

>> That's why it's so important that you

21:09

came on and we're we're thrilled you

21:10

are. Couple other things. Um I have a

21:14

two quick questions. One, is it true the

21:16

what the governor said yesterday that he

21:18

had a written note uh that you're

21:21

looking into now prior to the

21:23

assassination? You look, did he have a

21:25

note? And with the other one question is

21:28

the person that that was texting with

21:30

him about I have a shot of taking out

21:31

Charlie Kirk. Can that person be

21:33

charged?

21:34

>> Yes.

21:37

>> So, I'll take those in reverse. The

21:38

charging decisions are up to our great

21:40

partners at the Department of Justice

21:41

and the Attorney General who have been

21:43

wonderful providing resources during

21:44

this entire process. And we'll let them

21:46

speak to any charging decisions. But we,

21:48

the FBI, are investigating. As I said,

21:51

our investigation is ongoing. We're

21:52

interviewing dozens and dozens of

21:54

suspects, subjects, witnesses, and the

21:57

like, and continuing to examine forensic

21:59

information, including cell phone data

22:01

and DNA analyses. And once we make those

22:03

findings uh handed over to our our

22:05

partners, as we're doing in real time,

22:07

they'll make those decisions. And uh I'm

22:09

sorry, Brian, I forgot your other

22:10

question.

22:10

>> You had a written note. Was there Did he

22:12

write a written note before uh before

22:14

the assassination attempt? That's what

22:16

the governor said yesterday. And what

22:18

did that say, if you could say?

22:19

>> So, what I'm able to say I'm sorry. So,

22:21

what I was what I'm able to say is I I I

22:23

addressed it partially earlier is that

22:25

the written note we believe what did

22:28

exist and we have evidence to show what

22:31

was in that note which is um and I'm

22:33

going to uh summarize basically saying I

22:36

the suspect wrote a note saying I have

22:38

the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk

22:40

and I'm going to take it. That note was

22:41

written before the shooting. Um,

22:44

evidence of existence we now have

22:46

learned existed before the shooting was

22:47

in the location um in the suspect and

22:50

partner's home. But we have since

22:52

learned that the note, even though it

22:54

has been destroyed, we have found

22:56

forensic evidence of the note. Wait,

22:58

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

22:59

wait, wait, wait. That's huge. That

23:02

means the partner may have seen or known

23:06

this was going to happen.

23:08

Said nothing, which means complicit.

23:11

Maybe maybe he didn't know about the

23:12

note, right? But like what if there was

23:14

a note like at the coffee machine or the

23:16

refrigerator like I'm going to take out

23:18

Kirk today and the guy didn't say

23:20

anything. You know, that means he shares

23:23

uh especially if he is trans that means

23:26

his partner shares the sentiment of

23:28

anti- Charlie Kirk and basically

23:32

is complicit. He should be charged and

23:35

arrested as well. Now, I know right now

23:36

he's cooperating with the FBI probably

23:39

because he's fearful that if he doesn't,

23:43

he's going to get bagged. And frankly,

23:46

whether he does or doesn't, he probably

23:48

will if he knew that note existed. And

23:50

the fact that then the note was

23:51

destroyed which then then sends a signal

23:54

of like whoa why would you destroy it if

23:57

you didn't know about it beforehand you

24:00

know and and now cash Patel telling us

24:03

oh you know we were able to piece it

24:04

back together or whatever

24:07

this story is getting crazy

24:09

>> and we have confirmed what that note

24:11

says because of our aggressive interview

24:14

posture at the FBI. Somebody here saying

24:18

uh uh the partner groomed this kid. It's

24:20

possible that that the if that partner

24:22

was trans and that partner has the

24:25

mental health issues we described

24:26

yesterday in my video detailing trans

24:28

mental health issues that he ended up

24:30

taking advantage of Tyler Robinson uh to

24:33

basically be the perpetrator. Like it's

24:36

like the worst kind of trans shooter.

24:38

It's the trans shooter who motivates

24:40

somebody else to be the shooter or

24:41

manipulates somebody else to be the

24:42

shooter. We don't know that. That's

24:44

speculation. Okay. is speculation. We

24:47

don't know. The partner could be

24:48

innocent. He could have known she I

24:51

don't know what the hell to call him.

24:52

Could have known nothing.

24:54

>> So m Mr. Director, I'm curious and there

24:58

there has been some criticism. So I

25:00

appreciate you coming on our program and

25:02

discussing it with our audience. Can you

25:04

tell us what was happening on the

25:06

ground? Apparently, according to

25:08

sources, you weren't getting

25:10

>> Somebody in the chat says, "Why are you

25:11

pushing the blame to the partner?" I'm

25:12

not pushing the blame to the partner. I

25:13

want to be crystal clear about that. I'm

25:15

saying the partner may be complicit in

25:19

not preventing this, therefore enabling

25:21

the murder. And I'm saying that there is

25:24

a possibility, and that's not shifting

25:25

blade. I'm saying there is a possibility

25:28

that the actions of the partner

25:30

manipulated the evil, vile actions of

25:33

Tyler Robinson. Tyler Robinson still

25:36

holds the bag. He's still the trigger

25:38

puller. He's the actor, right? He's

25:40

still the assassin.

25:43

But outside influences can certainly be

25:46

uh liable for that manipulation or or at

25:48

least the inducement to push somebody

25:49

over to the edge to actually do it. You

25:51

know, especially there's so much talk on

25:53

social media about like oh you know you

25:55

know grow a pair, have some balls, like

25:57

you got to be strong, you got to fight

25:59

for what you believe in. Remember in the

26:01

research we studied yesterday, there is

26:02

a disassociation with reality where the

26:05

FBI reports that people who have these

26:07

mental illnesses, they believe they are

26:09

morally superior and they don't

26:12

recognize consequences for themselves

26:15

because they justify their own actions

26:17

with their own moral superiority that

26:19

they imagine

26:22

>> some information. You requested photos

26:25

and you were being stonewalled. Now, I

26:27

think it's important to know there's

26:28

always some sort of tension between

26:30

local cops on the ground and the feds.

26:32

They want to handle their own

26:34

investigation. But of course, with an

26:36

investigation of this magnitude, you

26:38

have to step in. You have the resources.

26:40

But can you explain? Was it the local

26:43

field office? Was it the state police?

26:45

What was going on?

26:48

>> Uh, somebody says, "Where are the

26:50

official pictures of the engraved

26:51

bullets?" Yeah, the FBI has not released

26:53

those yet. And uh

26:56

Steve Crowder got subpoenaed by the ATF

26:59

for leaking that they even had these uh

27:03

uh the evidence of these these inscri

27:05

inscribed bullets. Uh a subpoena,

27:07

remember, is just a request for

27:09

information. It's probably like, "How

27:10

the hell did you get our internal memo

27:11

notes?"

27:13

Fair. Okay. Fair for the FBI or the ATF

27:16

to subpoena over that.

27:18

>> So, the local authorities have been

27:20

fantastic. Okay.

27:21

>> Uh the local sheriff, the state PD have

27:23

been wonderful. And any investigation,

27:25

as you hinted to, of this magnitude has

27:27

so many people in it because I'd made

27:29

the decision to surge so many resources

27:31

and to get the information up to me was

27:33

of the utmost priority. So I worked with

27:36

my team to say, "Hey, there's not going

27:37

to be any delays. We're not going to do

27:39

it the way we normally do things." So

27:41

the only thing that people were doing at

27:42

the FBI was how they knew how to do

27:44

things. I had to expedite that process.

27:46

That's my job. That's what I thought

27:48

this case deserved and that's what this

27:50

case was uh rightly calling for. So I

27:52

made the tough calls. Um but I wasn't

27:54

critical of anyone in particular. I just

27:57

said we got to move faster and that was

27:59

my call to make and if there's any

28:01

criticism there you can put it right

28:02

here.

28:02

>> Who wasn't giving you information

28:04

director who wasn't giving you the

28:06

photos when you requested them speak uh

28:10

uh quickly and it didn't it didn't make

28:12

it to you? Who who denied that order?

28:16

It's not a denial of the order. Just to

28:18

clarify, I'm glad we're talking about

28:19

this. The uh the photos were produced.

28:22

They just weren't produced in a timely

28:24

fashion that I felt was appropriate for

28:26

an investigation of this magnitude. So,

28:28

I came in and I accelerated that

28:30

process.

28:30

>> Right.

28:31

>> So, in the 24 hours after when we were

28:33

still looking for the guy,

28:34

>> I don't love Cash Patel either, but and

28:36

he's he's really shilling for like how

28:38

great the FBI is now under him and

28:40

stuff. There's a lot of shilling going

28:42

on here, but he is dropping some notes

28:43

that are very interesting

28:44

>> about it. And what do you have to say

28:46

about the criticism?

28:47

>> Mind you, in case you're new here, I

28:50

hate like my goal is to be hated by

28:52

everyone. I love everyone. My goal is to

28:54

be hated by everybody, though, because

28:55

it just keeps me neutral.

28:57

>> So, I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone.

28:59

>> No, I appreciate this opportunity. Look,

29:02

as I stated, I was being transparent

29:04

with working with the public on our

29:05

findings as I had them. I stated in that

29:08

message that we had a subject and uh

29:11

that we were going to interview him and

29:12

we did and he was released. The job of

29:14

the FBI is not just to manhunt the

29:16

actual suspect who did the killing or

29:18

suspects, but it's also to eliminate

29:20

targets and eliminate subjects who are

29:22

not involved in the process. And that's

29:24

what we were doing. Could I have worded

29:26

it a little better in the heat of the

29:27

moment? Sure. But do I regret putting it

29:29

out? Absolutely not. I was telling the

29:31

world what the FBI was doing as we were

29:33

doing. And I'm continuing to do that.

29:35

And I challenge anyone out there to find

29:37

a director that has been more

29:38

transparent and more willing to work the

29:40

media.

29:40

>> This is basically the end of the

29:41

interview. This is This is huge though.

29:44

DNA evidence, more insights on the

29:46

partner, evidence on the notes, uh

29:49

potential complicit charges to come. Uh

29:53

you know, some more info on the

29:54

inscripted bullets, the leftist

29:56

ideology, the conservative uprising, the

29:59

mental health challenges that

30:01

potentially are a factor here. Again, we

30:02

still don't have facts on drugs or the

30:05

trans partner or even confirmation of

30:08

that, although that seems to be pretty

30:10

consistent at this point. This is a lot

30:12

of extra detail on the Charlie Kirk

30:14

shooting.

30:15

>> Why not advertise these things that you

30:16

told us here? I feel like nobody else

30:18

knows about this.

30:18

>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and

30:20

see how it goes.

30:21

>> Congratulations, man. You have done so

30:22

much. People love you. People look up to

30:24

you.

30:24

>> Kevin Praath there, financial analyst

30:26

and YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great

30:28

to get your take.
