• Bullet casing inscription specifics:

  • “Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, hey fascist! catch! ... A second unfired casing read, oh, bella chow, bella chow ... A third unfired casing read, if you read this, you are gay. lmao.” [51:10]

Transcript

[A]

It is Friday, the 12th of September in the year of our Lord 2025. You're watching a live shot of the press conference that are that's about to start here momentarily. FBI Director Cash Patel, former contributor and co host of the show, and of course, the great Dan Bongino. They'll be leading this today with other law enforcement officials. You remember from the press conference last night, they put the video out, it looks like, would they have a suspect in custody coming off of that press conference and the footage, the great Matt Boyle joins me. Matt, we're going to go to this live as soon as it starts. Supposed to start at 9 Eastern Daylight Time. They backed it up 30 minutes now they backed up another 30. Obviously they're pulling things together. Any thoughts, observation? By the way, Jack Bosovic's going to join us after this press conference about the suspect in custody and all the details. And then Alex Jones is going to be with us at 11 o'. Clock. Matt Boyle, any thoughts from overnight? Of course, a lot of vitriol on the left against Charlie Kirk. So we've been monitoring that closely. Any thoughts, sir?

[B]

Yeah, well, look, I think the big story that we're seeing play out over the last couple of days is that what you see from the radical left, what you see from frankly, a major cross section of the Democrat Party's base is that there are a lot of people out there spewing their talking points, which is that they keep saying that Charlie Kirk was a rape racist or he's anti Semitic or a Nazi or something like that almost to attempt to justify this terrible killing that we've seen. I think that the Democrat Party is currently leaderless, right? They don't have a national leader. You know, they have different elected officials and whatnot, but they do not have a leader. The closest thing they have to a leader is former President Barack Obama. I think it's incumbent upon Obama if he believes any of the pablum he told America, America to win the election in 2008 and then again in 2012 about hope, change and a better way and whatnot forward that Obama himself needs to come forward and tell Democrats across the party, elected officials, people in their base, et cetera, to stop he needs to tell them to stop calling people Nazis, racists, et cetera. If they disagree. Disagreement is the most American thing we can have. Right? Like Charlie Kirk was literally killed while debating. He was assassinated while debating. That is the most American thing in the world. And frankly, you saw the person who was debating him come out on CNN last night and talk about this in that he's saying the point he was trying to make was that the left is peaceful. Well, the left is not peaceful right now because of the fact that these people have been conditioned by Democrat party leaders to believe that, that people like us, Steve, right, like you, me, the Breitbart crew, Charlie Kirk, et cetera, all the people across the right are a bunch of Nazis. That's not true, obviously. So I think it's incumbent upon Barack Obama himself to come forward and to address this stuff directly and to tell his people to stop this. I would be willing to. If he would be willing to interview Barack Obama about this, I'll do it today. I do it this weekend, next week, whenever he's ready. I don't think he has the moral courage necessary to do so. But the fact is, is that I think it's them in particular and it's the Democrats. So it's, you know, I saw Will Kaine out there today saying like, you know, he's trying to dismiss these posts that you see from people, teachers, people in the military. There was an assistant dean at a Tennessee college.

[A]

I tell you what. Matt, Matt, hang up for one second. The officials are coming. Cash are coming. Tyler Robinson appears to be in custody. 22 year olds from Utah. Here we go.

[C]

Live press conference. We will hear from Governor Cox, FBI Director Cash Patel and Sheriff Mike Smith. We also have with us Utah DPS Commissioner Bo Mason, Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson, FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bowles and local and federal law enforcement partners. Following the remarks today, Governor Cox, Director Patel and Commissioner Mason will take questions. Thank you.

[D]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him. On the evening of September 11, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident. This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff's Office and scene investigators at Utah Valley University. This information was also conveyed to the FBI. Investigators reviewed additional video footage from UVU surveillance and identified Robinson arriving on UVU campus in a gray Dodge Challenger at approximately 8:29am on September 10, in which he is observed on video in a plain maroon T shirt, light colored shorts, a black hat with a white logo and light colored shoes. When encountered in person by investigators in Washington county on September 12th in the early morning hours, Robinson was observed in consistent clothing with those surveillance images. Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner with prior to September 10th. And in the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to uvu. They talked about why they didn't like him and the viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. The family member also confirmed Robinson had a gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified an individual as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the messages on Discord. He opened it and showed several messages to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate. These photos consisted of various messages including content of messages between the four phone contact named Tyler with an emoji icon and Robinson's roommate's device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush. Messages related to a to visually watching the area where a rifle was left and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also refer to engraving bullets and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact. Tyler also mentioned that he had changed outfits. I know there has been speculation as well as to the. The writing on those casings, those, those, those bullet casings. And I believe we have that as well and I will share that with you now. So the area north of Campus Drive Road where the suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the video that we released last night consists of a grassy area with trees on the edge of the UVU campus. Investigators discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser Model 98, 3006 caliber. 3006 caliber bolt action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read, notices bulges, capital O, W, O. What's this question mark? Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, hey, fascist. Exclamation point, catch. Exclamation point, up arrow symbol, right arrow and symbol and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, oh, bella chow, bella chow, bella chow, chow chow. And a third unfired casing read, if you read this, you are gay. Lmao. We are indebted to law enforcement across the state who's worked seamlessly together. Local law enforcement, state law Enforcement and our federal partners with the. With the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We're grateful for everyone who worked together in such a short amount of time to find this person and to bring justice. I want to thank the public who has been so engaged reviewing videos, helping us with sending in tips and helping us get to this point. I want to thank the family members of Tyler Robinson who did the right thing in this case and were able to bring him into law enforcement as well. I especially want to thank the family of Charlie Kirk, Erica, Charlie's parents, his children. I want us to be thinking of them as we bring justice in this case. They will be involved in that justice. We will be working very closely with them as we move through this process as well. This is a very sad day for again, for our country, a terrible day for the state of Utah. But I'm grateful that at this moment we have an opportunity to bring closure to this very dark chapter in our nation's history. With that, I will now turn the. Turn the microphone over to the director of the FBI, Cash Patel.

[E]

Thank you, Governor. This is what happens when you let good cops be cops. The FBI and our partners are proud to stand here today together to bring justice to the family of Charlie Kirk and honor his memory. I want to express my deep gratitude to President Trump, the Vice President and the entire White House who have been so incredibly supportive with both resources and just personally to the FBI as a team. They had our backs the entire way. And I just want to express my gratitude for giving us the resources we need to operate in this space to bring this sort of justice at this sort of speed. In 33 hours, we have made historic progress for Charlie. Governor Cox, our partnership has been absolutely incredible these last few days. Our partnership will endure. Your state and local partners, your sheriffs, your DPS community has been unbelievably impressive in the hardest of times in a case like this cannot be solved, cannot be brought without partnering with your state and local authorities. The FBI has a certain role to play and we will play that role and we will lead out for the federal government. But Governor Cox, we are so grateful for your state partnership that led out on this investigation. A little bit of the timeline. Charlie was shot at 12.23pm on Wednesday. The first FBI agents arrived on scene in 16 minutes with chiefs of police at 12:39 and secured the scene. The FBI immediately launched fixed wing assets. We utilize these assets to transport personnel, specialty technicians, hostage rescue teams. We also utilize these assets to go back and forth from the east coast and here in Utah to transport forensic evidence and other evidence that will be analyzed and is being analyzed at our FBI laboratories in Quantico and other laboratories, including the atf. At my direction, the FBI released the first set of FBI photos of the suspect at 10:00am local time on 9 11. Then shortly thereafter, the FBI reward of $100,000 was released at 10:45am local. Myself and Deputy Director Bongino arrived on the scene at approximately 5:30pm on 9 11. The governor led a press conference last night at approximately 8pm where at my direction, the FBI released a never before seen video of the suspect. We also released new images to the public of the suspect. And just last night the suspect was taken into custody at 10pm local time in less than 36 hours, 33 to be precise. Thanks to the full weight of the federal government and leading out with the partners here in the state of Utah and Governor Cox, the suspect was apprehended in historic time period. And I want to highlight what Governor Cox said. This would not have been possible without you, the media and you, the public. That's why we went so public so fast and we're so transparent and we're committed to that transparency. The crime scene, just a little bit there it is a large crime scene. State and local authorities, along with federal authorities, process that crime scene quickly. And I even had the ability to walk through that crime scene and walk through the steps the suspect took to learn more about what was needed and what resources we need to bear to create a full picture for the FBI and leadership back in Washington. Furthermore, thankfully to state, local partners, forensic evidence has been seized and continues to be garnered. Forensic evidence has already been evaluated, FBI laboratories in Quantico and state, local authorities here. We will continue to process evidence as we see it, as we collect it, and we will continue to deliver to Governor Cox and his team. Last night we had a total of approximately 7,000 interviews. Excuse me, 7,000 leads. As of this morning, thanks to your great work, we have over 11,000 leads that were called in to the FBI and we are running out every single lead that we can. Every one of those leads will be run out. The arrest is a testament to dedication of good law enforcement, being great and partnerships in law enforcement, which I've tried to highlight as my tenure as the director of the FBI. There is no better relationship for law enforcement than the FBI to partner with state and local authorities. And you've seen it here in these last few days. The FBI Salt Lake field office, along with our offices in la, Phoenix, Denver, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, our headquarters component in Quantico, all participate in the FBI. I want to express my deep gratitude to the employees of the FBI, the men and women, the evidence response team, tacticians, the special operators, the agents, the support staff. You have done monumental work in historic time when the public, who had a right to demand such an expeditious solving of an investigation, the FBI answered that call diligently, critically important to our nation, and we delivered. And I'm proud to be their leader, and I'm proud to be the director of the FBI. This is a very much an ongoing investigation, as the governor said, and we will continue to work with state and local authorities to develop the investigation, to provide them the evidence they need for their ongoing prosecutions. And we will be here to answer every call they absolutely have, as long as it takes, for as long as we need to find and apprehend whatever suspects were involved in this crime. Lastly, to my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you in Valhalla.

[C]

Thank you and good morning. I would just like to take a few minutes as the sheriff to express my gratitude for everybody who has played a part in this investigation. As you know, it's been a vast, a complicated and a very, very fast paced investigation. You're looking at people standing up here who are running on. If they got an hour's sleep in the last couple days, they're probably lucky. It has been very taxing. It has been so impressive, speaking on behalf of the local law enforcement, to see the cooperation that we've seen in this type of case across the state. Sheriffs chiefs, our state partners, have stepped up and have come to the call on anything that we needed. Our county chiefs have been phenomenal. Our Utah County Attorney, Jeff Gray, who's standing up here with us, has been phenomenal in leading us through this investigation. I would like to thank the federal government for, for their resource sources, their assets. Our local team here, our FBI team, has been extraordinary in helping us work through this and bring this person to justice. Most of all, I would like to thank the public and specifically I would like to thank the public who turned to prayers and who turned to positiveness for us. I would like to thank them on behalf of the law enforcement community because we needed those prayers. That's what we needed to get through this. We needed your support. You gave it to us. We needed your patience and you gave it to us. And I would like to thank you for the Kirk family because that's what they need, is your support and your prayers, and that will get us through all of this. So thank you, everybody, for everybody that have stepped up. We've had such a phenomenal response to this. Thank you.

[E]

I also want to give a special thanks to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice. Their unwavering support and their commitment to justice is shown true here. And without AG Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and the resources they brought to bear, we would not have been able to complete our mission. And I just want to say special thanks. It's an honor to be a part of the Department of Justice.

[D]

Thank you again to our incredible law enforcement team who has worked so hard. Sheriff, I got a solid 90 minutes last night, so I'm probably the most well rested person up here, ladies and gentlemen. I get the microphone, so I hope you'll permit me a moment just to share a few more thoughts about where we are and how we got here and maybe a little bit of where we go from here. I don't want to get too preachy, but I think it's important that we, with eyes wide open, understand what's happening in our country today. I've heard people say, well, why are we. Why are we so invested in this? There's violence happening all across our country, and violence is tragic everywhere. And every life taken is a child of God who deserves our love and respect and dignity. This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination of Charlie Kirk. But it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, of who we have been and who we could be in better times. Political violence is different than any other type of violence for lots of different reasons. One, because in the very act that Charlie championed of expression, that freedom of expression that is enshrined in our founding documents, in having his life taken in that very act, makes it more difficult for people to feel like they can share their ideas, that they can speak freely. We will never be able to solve all the other problems, including the violence problems that people are worried about. If we can't have a clash of ideas safely and securely, even, especially, especially those ideas with which you disagree. That's why this matters so much. Over the last 48 hours, I have been as angry as I have ever been, as sad as I have ever.

[E]

Been.

[D]

And it was as anger pushed me to the brink, it was actually Charlie's words that pulled me back. I'D like to share some of those. And specifically right now, if I could, I need to talk to the young people in our state, in my state and all across the country. As President Trump reminded me, he said, you know who really loved Charlie? The youths. He's right. Young people loved Charlie and young people hated Charlie, and Charlie went into those places anyway. And these are the words that have helped me. Charlie said, when people stop talking, that's when you get violence. He said, the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. Welcome without judgment, love without condition. Forgive without limit. He said, always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much. A few months ago, I referenced this. Last night, Charlie posted to social media. When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it's important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember, Internet fury is not real life. It's going to be okay. He again said, when you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence. He said, what we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have a reasonable agreement, being able to have reasonable agreement where violence is not an option. Now, again, to my young friends out there, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage. It feels like rage is the only option. But through those words, we have a reminder that we can choose a different path. Your generation has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different than what we are suffering through right now. Not by pretending differences don't matter, but by embracing our differences and having those hard conversations. I think we need more moral clarity right now. I hear all the time that words are violence. Words are not violence. Violence is violence. And there is one person responsible for what happened here, and that person is now in custody and will be charged soon and will be held accountable. And yet all of us have an opportunity right now to do something different. I want to thank my fellow Utahns. You know, this bad stuff happens. And for 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us, that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country. Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I had hoped for, just because I thought it would make it easier on us if we could just say, hey, we don't do that here. And indeed, Utah is a special place. We lead the nation in charitable giving. We lead the nation in service every year. But it did happen here. And it was one of us. But I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting. There was no looting. There were no cars set on fire. There was no violence. There were. There were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share the humanity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe, is the answer to this. We can return violence with violence. We can return hate with hate. And that's the problem with political violence, is it metastasizes because we can always point the finger at the other side. And at some point, we have to find an off ramp or it's going to get much, much worse. But see, these are choices that we can make. History will dictate if this is a turning point for our country. But every single one of us gets to choose right now. If this is a turning point for us. We get to make decisions. We have our agency. And I desperately call on every American, Republican, Democrat, liberal, progressive, conservative, maga, all of us, to please, please, please follow what Charlie taught me. I'll just conclude with words I share, often from a friend and author, Yuval Levin, who was asked if he was optimistic about our country. And he said, I'm not optimistic. He said, I hate optimism. That sounds bad. But he said, optimism is a vice. It's this idea that good things are just going to happen. He said, in the history of the world, good things have never just happened. He says, I'm not optimistic, but I am hopeful. And hope is the virtue that sits between the vices of optimism and pessimism. Hope is the idea that good things are going to happen because we can make them so. I still believe in our country, and I know Charlie Kirk believed in our country. I still believe that there is more good among us than evil. And I still believe that we can change the course of history. I'm hopeful because Americans can make it so. Ladies and gentlemen, we're happy to answer any questions you may have.

[A]

Please speak to whether the suspect is speaking with authorities and his demeanor.

[D]

Tyler Robinson when he turned himself in. We. I cannot speak to that right now. Well, I will leave that up to you to interpret what those engravings mean. I. I think the. The clearest one that says ca. Catch fascist. I. There's not. And by the way, that's like catch. Like a ball. Catch this. That's. I think that that speaks for itself. There's nothing more that we can share at this time.

[A]

Governor, you indicated that he had been communicating with a friend on Discord about the gun. Do you anticipate Any more arrests?

[D]

We do not at this time have any information that would lead to any additional arrests.

[C]

Believe he acted alone?

[D]

Yes, but the investigation is ongoing.

[A]

How he came into custody of police and where he is.

[D]

Yes. So right now Mr. Robinson has been booked into the Utah County Jail. You, you heard the president this morning report that, that he was taken into custody, that, that his family and, and a friend helped to, to deliver him into the, the, into custody of law enforcement in Washington County. For those of you that don't know where Washington county is, it is the southern most, southwestern most part of the state of Utah. It's about a three and a half to four hour drive from here, where we are right now. And that's, that's where, where he lived and where he, they turned him in. Please go here. I can't share any more than what I've already shared. Yeah. So how we obtained the gun. The gun was found, was found here. So I don't have much more details on that. We do know that he drove. We had his car here on campus and then we had his car going south back to the St. George. It's actually the city of Washington in Washington County.

[A]

Is he talking with authorities and did he discuss a motive?

[D]

I'm sorry, we don't have any information that would lead us to believe that. Yes, in fact, it's already, it was just released. Yes, we, I, I can't, I can't answer that right now. Yeah, thank you. Over here. I absolutely believe that this is a watershed in American history. Yes. The question is what kind of watershed? And that chapter remains to be written. Is this the end of a dark chapter in our history or the beginning of a darker chapter in our history? Look, I mean, if you look at true political assassinations in this country of someone of this stature, this feels a lot like the late 60s and having one so gruesomely displayed on camera in all of our hands and in all of our pockets. We are not wired as human beings biologically. Historically, we have not evolved in a way that we are capable of processing those types of violent imagery. And by the way, we've seen another one with a gruesome stabbing very recently that went viral. This is not good for us. It is not good to consume. Social media is a cancer on our society right now. And I would encourage, again, I would encourage people to log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community. That is happening and it's happening organically right now. Had a flat friend in a, in A small city in Utah who said we're getting together. The Republicans and Democrats in my little town are getting together to have a discussion tonight, last night, just to find a way to find their better angels. So, yes, this could be. I mean, you know, again, you have to go back to JFK to have seen a video live of something like this happening. I wasn't born until 1975, but I know that things were really dark in the late 60s. Sorry to some of you, I know some of you were there, but this is our moment. Do we escalate or do we find an off ramp? And again, it's a choice. It's a choice and every one of us gets to make that choice. Two more questions. Two more questions right here.

[A]

Could we clarify that the release of those enhanced images at APM timeline that.

[D]

Director Patel gave us led to the arrest at 10pm Is there a direct connection between those two events? I. I cannot comment if there is a direct connection or not, but all I can say is that, that, that through some process, the family came to know that this had happened.

[A]

One more thing.

[D]

Could you just clarify the clothing issue you mentioned earlier. Was he changing outfits? Correct. Yes. Yes. So. So when he's first spotted on campus, he has different clothing on and then he changes clothing on the roof and then changed back into that clothing at some point. So that when, when he was, when he was apprehended, when he, when he was arrested, the clothing matched the clothing he had on before the shooting here at uvu. Last question here. Yes.

[A]

Suspect was freshly. Can you kind of tell us a little bit more about where.

[D]

And was he a student here at the.

[A]

Student.

[E]

And is there any history of dental illness?

[D]

Yeah, so I don't have any information on the mental illness part. He was not a student here at uvu. He was living and had lived for a long time with his family in Washington county in the southernmost part of our cities. Thank you, everyone, for your great work in getting this information out. I just say, process wise, this may be important. I know many of you aren't familiar with, with the process in Utah. I think it's important that you understand that basically we have three days for charging documents to be filed. A CI will be filed. We'll have more information then, more detailed information as those charging documents are filed in preparation for a preliminary hearing. So three days. So, you know, we would anticipate then that, that early next week those charging documents will be filed. We will obviously be working. The county attorney will be working very closely with Mr. Kirk's family as those documents and decisions are prepared and made. Thanks, everyone.

[A]

Okay, let me have it. I'll be brutally frank. I was quite underwhelmed by that. And I think the governor, now's time that we don't need a campaign speech and certainly don't need happy talk. So many unanswered questions and I do not understand why law enforcement did not step up to the microphone and give some details, some details instead of glazing each other about this partnership. And we're all great. We did a great job. Correct me if I'm wrong. We saw the nine minute. We watched the nine minute press conference yesterday and the pictures that came up and went all over the Internet and it appears the kid had said something to the family. The family had confronted him and the family turned him in. I'm not seeing the great law enforcement work and I'm not, you know, saying there's not great law enforcement. They all came together. I got that. But this was not through law enforcement work. There's actually a report out there that maybe the FBI had been tipped off about somebody up on the roof, you know, during the week. I don't know if that's accurate. We're trying to check it out. But we don't need a governor, a political figure to step up. A governor is also known to be, I think, particularly obnoxious. Remember, he's totally woke. He was all into the transgender thing. This guy's completely woke. We don't need a governor to step up and give us basically a political pep talk and a rally and let's just all come together. When you have an antifa, you get details in here about the theme song for antifa. On the bullet. You got the, you got the symbology that antifa uses all the time. You clearly have a young progressive left wing hater that assassinated Charlie Kirk in cold blood. What I want to see is some law enforcement people step up to the microphone, give some details and take some questions from the media. I don't know why cash flew out there, you know, thousands of miles to give us, hey, working partnerships and our great partnership in Utah. Okay, I got that. No offense to the law enforcement guys. In the future, this, the public assumes that you're working together as partnerships. There's certain assumptions when you walk to the microphone of information we don't need time and time and time again, I tell my team when these press conferences are scheduled, I don't know if I need to be for the first 10 minutes because just going to be some all group Thing about how great we are. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood by a left wing, antifa affiliated or tifa aligned person. Okay? We want to find out about him. We want more details about him. And correct me if I'm wrong, Matt Bowles here, we're going to get poso by phone in the Discord Channel. There's other. The guy said there's nobody. We're not looking for anybody. There's nobody here. Yo, I think he's got at least one accessory. Maybe the roommate. I mean, who is in the Discord Channel. They're talking about the gun and retrieving the gun. I would assume that that person has some knowledge of a crime and has some knowledge of a crime right immediately after the shot was fired. And I don't remember, no one's come forward and said that guy came forward and said, hey, I think my roommate just shot Charlie Kirk. This is why people get so frustrated. And no, governor, no, no, we're not going to have a group hug and sit down with Democrats. They are targeting conservatives. They're targeting leaders. Charlie Kirk's not replaceable. The group of Turning Point with Tyler and Andrew and the other great team that Charlie's built, they will go on and they're going to do great things and probably greater things they've done before. But a Charlie Kirk's like an Andrew Breitbart. These individuals come along once a generation, right? They're not, they're not everyday people. This is. And they targeted this guy. They target him. The family said right there, Matt Boyle. And look, I'm just sick and tired of law enforcement with all the resources we put into it to come up and say we're working in partnerships, we're great, we're communicating. The public assumes that that is happening. You should get to the chase. Cut to the chase and give the public content about exactly what happened, the timeline of how the guy turned himself in, about the family, about more details and about accessories to the crime in the Discord Channel. And go into and have a governor up there that has no earthly idea about antifa. Doesn't want to matter. We had the FBI director. Could we not get up there and talk about what this symbology means? Because the left is not going to get off the hook in this. All these reports coming. What do you mean we're at war, Banner? What are you talking about? This. They assassinated Charlie Kirk in cold blood in a targeted exercise that took planning, planning. And now we're going to sit here and let's have some groups, let's get together and have a group hug. They take out Charlie Kirk and let's just sit down and have a group hug. Let's have a, let's have Antifa over for a barbecue this afternoon. How about that? Antifa? Can you hear? You know, Charlie, the gentlest and nicest individual in this political world who would sit there with a microphone and say, I can convince you through ideas. I can convince you through the force of my argument, not violence and anything. He was the happy warrior. That's who they took out. Who could be more accommodating than Charlie Kirk, who could be nicer than Charlie Kirk, who could be more accessible to Charlie Kirk. That's why they murdered him in cold blood. Assassination. And this was an execution. And now, you know, you get the symbology of this and we're just going to have this press conference and oh, okay, fine. And you know, let's go, let's. It's time to us to bring the unity together. No, they always want the unity after they do something horrific. Well, they ain't getting unity and there shouldn't be unity. We should get answers on this, to drill down with people that know it and present to the public exactly what his affiliations were, who he talked to and round up the accessories. And now more than ever, I don't know why we're not putting down Antifa, at least at minimum. Matt Boyle, your thoughts on I thought was very frustrating and once again, just nothing more than glazing.

[B]

Well, I will say that we did learn some new facts during this, but other than that, like, sorry, it's not a time for Kumbaya.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Like, I mean, the fact is, is that you still have people throughout the Democrat Party. We reported last night at Breitbart that there was a staffer on Capitol Hill who works for Congressman and Andre Carson who was out there repeating the lies that Charlie Kirk is, is somehow a Nazi or a racist or something like that.

[D]

Right.

[B]

Like, again, we need to, for there to be unity, for there to be a Kumbaya moment. We need to hear from the leaders of the Democrat Party that this has to stop. This is what I was saying before the press conference there is that we need to hear from Barack Obama. He's the closest thing that we have to the leader of the Democrat Party. They don't have a leader as a party right now. They're a leaderless party and they have been for a long time. But the fact is, is that they've been encouraging this type of behavior for a long time now. Through their systemic, repeated narrative building. And again, their accomplices across the establishment media that have been accusing people like us of being Nazis and racists and so on and so forth, falsely. It's a narrative that they've been pushing. David Korn from Mother Jones magazine did it in a story last night, right? Like after Charlie was killed, you know, he comes out and does all the obligatory, oh, you know, it should be condemned. Oh, it should be bad. But he was a racist. And this, that and the other thing. And it's like, what is wrong with these people? No, we need to hear from the leaders of the. Where is Hakeem Jeffries?

[A]

Right.

[B]

Where is Chuck?

[A]

I'm going to give you a news flash. I'm going to give you a news flash. Number one, this is one of the. Got it. I got it. I want to. I can answer your rhetorical question. It's not going to happen because they think it's a winning strategy. That's why Obama's not going to do it. Also, as you know, the Democratic Party are just a handful of feckless clowns. It's the Soros money. It's the ActBlue money. It's the dark money that finances much of this from foreign sources. You know, President Trump said today we'll pull that clip on Fox and Friends when he gave the live interview, he talked about there's a rico. They're beginning a RICO investigation of Soros. What we have to do is get to the groups that fund antifa. Get to the groups that fund this radical trans ideology. This is what has to happen. We can't play patty cake. There's not, we're not going to be a group hug. We're not interested in a hug. We're interested in action. And that action using the law. And this is why I would want it to have the law enforcement guys up here today with details and to talk about this and the ongoing investigation and not have the governor to sit there like it's an open and shut case. It's one random kid. One random kid from Utah that climbed on a roof. Anyway, Matt, can you hang on for one second? I know you got tons to do over at Breitbart. I need to hold you. I've got Jack Basoba coming up. Alex Jones in a little while.

An individual as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson made a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the messages on Discord. He opened it and showed several messages to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate. These photos consisted of various messages including content of messages between the phone contact name Tyler with an emoji icon and Robinson's roommate's device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler stating a need to to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. So the area north of Campus Drive Road where the suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the video that we released last night, consists of a grassy area with trees on the edge of the UVU campus Investigators discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser Model 98, 3006 caliber. 3006 caliber bolt action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read, notices of bulges, capital O, W, O. What's this? Question mark. Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, hey, fascist, exclamation point, catch. Exclamation point up arrow, symbol, right arrow and symbol, and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, oh, bella chow, bella chow, bella chow, chow, chow. And a, a third unfired casing read, if you read this, you are gay. Lmao.

[A]

Okay, Matt Boles with us, Breitbart, the national political editor, and Jack Posobic joins us now by phone. Jack, you are probably one of the top antifa experts in the country. Obviously they didn't have the microphone and they had the governor reading this. For what reason? I don't know. Instead of law enforcement. Let's go through. First off, let's take the symbology first. You're the best on this. What is this symbology of Obela Chow? The song, the symbology, the arrows, all of that. What does that lead us to believe, sir?

[F]

Well, Steve, first of all, just obviously thank you to if it is true that the father who turned his son in, obviously America is grateful for this. Obviously everyone I'm talking to is very grateful for this. Obviously a terrible act that no father should ever have to do. Steve, when you talk about this symbology, I've written several books about these subjects. These are very familiar symbols within antifa and the worldwide left wing antifa subculture. Things like, hey, fascist, catch obvious on its face. Things like the song Bella Chow, which grew out of antifascist movements in Italy during World War II, became popularized by Italian communists, and then has grown at this point to be something of a worldwide left wing antifa anthem. Of course, bella ciao. It's a popular song in its own right, I want to be clear, but it's also very, very heavily favored by antifa groups. Now, some of the other messaging in here, this is directly related to other online subcultures which typically have and can have overlap with antifa subcultures, which is also an online phenomenon, largely, which then bleeds over into reality in numerous instances. And it appears that this is one of them, unfortunately, where the very sexual writing is being used, where these types of sexualities. These ideas of gender fluidity, furry culture, LGBT culture, they are popularized on places like Reddit and Tumblr, which I've written about extensively at human events daily, and, and then also kind of feed into these, these online cultures. And the fact that he was a Discord user also kind of, kind of lends a sense to the profile that seems to be being built here.

[A]

Explain to people then. We're going to go to Discord right now. Explain to people what Discord is and who uses it, sir?

[F]

Well, Discord first and foremost is a platform for communication during online video games. And I certainly don't want to sit here and say that using Discord is going to cause someone to use this type of activity. It just points to somebody who is a heavy Internet user, someone who is spending a lot of time online. And typically, these are, you know, these are things that you see among that population group, among Gen Z particularly, but lots of other generations use it as well. But also on Discord, it's a place where these subgroups, the ones that I was just kind of delineating furries, LGBT types, antifa types, can use to be able to have generally unmonitored conversations because the Discord platform itself is private. It's not something that anyone, it's open like Twitter or Facebook.

[A]

Jack Hanger, for one second, just stick with me. I know you're getting ready for the 12 o' clock show. Matt Boyle, I want to go to the antifa. Before we get to the roommate and accessories and all that. Let's your thoughts about the symbology, which clearly people behind the microphone knew about but didn't come forward and say anything. Let the governor, who's clueless, talk about it. Your thoughts, sir?

[B]

Yeah, well, again, we need to hear from law enforcement more about this. And frankly, you know, I think we've heard more from President Trump about this stuff in the last couple of days. You know, with the video he did the other night when this first happened, and then later in this Fox and Friends interview, et cetera. I think we need to hear from our Justice Department, friends from the ethnic FBI, etc. About what they're doing to do something about this radical ideology that is infecting our country and young people in particular.

[E]

Right.

[B]

Like, we need to see action. Congress should maybe convene a special panel about this.

[A]

Hang on, hang on. Just stick Matt Bowles with us. He's going to have to bounce. We're going to take a short commercial. Rick Poso, I got a recommendation. How about they were Good kicking down doors of traditional Catholics and MAGA folks. How about this? How go kick down some doors a day in Antifa. You know where they are. Let's start rounding them up. Let's round them up today. You're such tough guys on traditional Catholics. You're tough guys on MAGA. You're tough guys on 70 year old grandmothers that are praying the rosary outside of abortion centers. Hey tough guys, why don't you step up to the frickin microphone microphone and tell us exactly who these radicals are and go kick down some doors and let's see people in handcuffs this afternoon. No governor, we're not gonna have a group hug. You go have a group hug. We ain't gonna have a group hug. No need for a hug.

[D]

We're at war.
