Just for the course information. We did file just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray. The defendant, Tyler James Robinson, intentionally or knowingly caused the death of Charlie Kirk under the following circumstances. [00:00:19] The defendant knowingly created a great risk of death to another individual other than Charlie Kirk and the defendant. Notice conviction of this offense may carry the death penalty. Well, Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the killing [00:00:36] of right wing activist Charlie Kirk, had his first court appearance today. And as you just heard, he is facing the death penalty. And I want to get into the very specific charges he's facing. But before we do that, I think it's worth talking a little bit about what we heard [00:00:51] from the Utah County attorney, Jeff Gray, who has officially revealed some of the political motives of Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, while giving some more insight into his motive. Take a look at this. [00:01:06] Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro gay and trans rights oriented. [00:01:22] Now, keep in mind that his family was conservative. His father is very conservative. Apparently a Trump supporter, and this change in his political views apparently led to some tension between Robinson and his father. And I want you to hear a little more of what gray had to say. [00:01:41] According to Robinson's mother. She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning transitioning genders. This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially [00:01:57] between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views. In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robert Robinson said [00:02:14] was a stupid venue for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate. Now, after the shooting, Robinson suggested to his parents that not only did he not want to turn himself into the to the police, but that he would take extreme [00:02:33] measures if he was pressured to do so. Here's some more detail on that. His father reported that when his wife showed him the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he agreed that it looked like their son. He also believed that the rifle that police suspected the shooter used [00:02:51] matched a rifle that was given to his son as a gift. As a result, Robinson's father contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle. Robinson did not respond. However, Robinson's father spoke on the phone with Robinson. [00:03:09] Robinson implied implied that he planned to take his own life. Robinson's parents were able to convince him to meet at their home. As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail and just wanted to end it. [00:03:29] When asked why he did it, Robinson explained, there is too much evil, and the guy referring to Charlie Kirk spreads too much hate. They talked about Robinson turning himself in and convinced Robinson Robinson to speak with a family friend who is a retired deputy sheriff. [00:03:49] Now, what you heard in that press conference is corroborated by messages that Robinson sent his roommate immediately after the shooting took place. So I'm going to get to those messages and that exchange in just a moment. But just to give you the charges that he's facing, per Greg Robinson [00:04:07] has officially been charged with multiple felonies and a capital offense, including aggravated murder, which is the capital offense for intentionally or knowingly causing the death of Charlie Kirk under circumstances that created a great risk of death to others. [00:04:22] Felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury. Two counts of felony obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child. And gray has said that he will be filing a notice of intent [00:04:40] to seek the death penalty as well. And in relation to that, he says, I do not take this decision lightly and it is a decision I have made independently. - Jake. - Yeah. Well, that begins to answer some of the questions, right. [00:04:55] So there's a long message about the rifle. There was a series of questions that people were asking online. So, they were wondering, why? Kash Patel said yesterday, for example. [00:05:12] There was a note that said that Robinson, committed the murder. He was going to kill Charlie Kirk, but the note is destroyed. But we already know what was in the note. - And then everybody was like, wait, what? - Yeah. He said that there was forensic evidence of the note, and there [00:05:29] could be an explanation for that. - Yeah, there. - Could. Be. So for instance, there's a note maybe through other text messages or other communications. He, you know, two people communicated about the existence of that note, but it was destroyed. You get what I'm saying? So there could be a possible explanation. [00:05:46] But the problem is, there isn't much faith in the competence of Kash Patel. And he says things that lead to even more questions. Yeah. Others are asking, why is the rifle disassembled and then reassembled back in the woods, but then left. [00:06:01] Right. And so in the text messages you see a long explanation of that. I really wanted to get the rifle back, but I couldn't get the rifle back. But I really wanted to. It's grandpa's. ET cetera. ET cetera. Right. And so the thing that would be for all the doubters out there, and every once [00:06:19] in a while, this case looks super weird. And I start to ask questions. But a lot of the questions were answered today, right? So, for example, his parents, why would they turn him in if he didn't do it? And why are their answers so detailed? Right. So they say they also have the DNA on the rifle, the towel, etc., you know. [00:06:38] And allegedly that the the reason why his mother recognized him right away. Well, of course you're going to recognize your own child, number one. But there was the rifle itself, which is apparently somewhat unique. And so that's why the father was asking him to send a photo of the rifle, [00:06:58] because at that point, the authorities already had the rifle in their possession. He's like, all right, well, you know, I you have the rifle. Send me a picture. And he wasn't responding to his father. Yeah. So I don't know that they answered every question. Whereas the bullet that was fired, why did he engrave the bullets? ET cetera. But but you see, in all the correspondence with his roommate, it's. [00:07:17] And he goes into the place where he's playing games online. And everywhere he goes, he says it was me. It was me. It was me. Now, I'm sure there's going to be a next layer to that, which is people are going to say, yeah, you could type that out from a computer, but I don't know that it was [00:07:32] him typing it out from a computer. ET cetera. I hate scams, especially the ones that target seniors, and Medicare is chock full of them. Between commission hungry brokers and thousands of confusing plan options, most seniors aren't on the best plan for them. That's why I partnered with chapter. They're fully independent and they work for you, not the insurance companies. [00:07:50] That's really important. They can review all your options in under 20 minutes, and the average senior they help saves over $1,100 a year. And the best part of it is it doesn't cost you a thing. Call (301) 969-2545 to connect with a chapter advisor today. So far, if these things are to be believed and remember, there's a ton of cops [00:08:08] involved federal, state, etc. So faking anything now would be very difficult, right? Presumably so if these things are to be believed, which I generally do believe, then it looks like they got the right guy and it looks like he's going to face justice. [00:08:23] And we all want him to face justice. We don't want anything to happen to him, because then that will go back to fishy and weird, right? Make sure the cameras are working outside the jail cell, etc. But so far it looks like they got him right. So the other, I guess, corroborating evidence that we've seen [00:08:39] so far that this is the right guy are the messages that Tyler Robinson was sending to his roommate, who is just based on how these conversations went. Seems to be his partner. Okay, so Robinson wrote to the roommate, I am still okay my love, [00:08:57] but am stuck in Orem. That's where the shooting took place for a little while longer yet shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I got to grab my rifle. Still, who talks like that anyway? Rifle. Still, to be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. [00:09:13] I'm sorry to involve you, the roommate responds. You weren't the one who did it right? Robinson responds, I am. I'm sorry, the roommate says. I thought they caught the person. So remember, there were two other individuals who were briefly detained following the shooting, [00:09:30] and so that's what they're about to discuss in this next exchange where Robinson says, no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. [00:09:46] It's quiet almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering. Roommate responds with why? Robinson says, why did I do it? Roommate says, yeah. At that point, Robinson says, I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. Let me just pause for a second. [00:10:05] I couldn't stand his hatred, so I shot and killed him in front of his children. Yeah, that's the thing about psychos. They don't make any sense. Oh, he's so filled with hate. So I murdered him, which is 10,000 times more hateful. Yeah, 100%. But let me continue with the rest of what he had to say. [00:10:22] If I'm able to grab my rifle on scene, I will have left no evidence going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it. Roommate responds. How long have you been planning this? Robinson says a bit over a week. [00:10:37] I believe I can get close to it, but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't want to chance it. Next. Robinson says delete this exchange. This guy seems like a genius. [00:10:53] And he says, my dad wants photos of the rifle. He says, grandpa wants to know who has what? The feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. He's calling me right now, not answering. And then he says, since Trump got into office, my dad has been pretty die hard MAGA. [00:11:11] Then he says, at this point, the roommate. You know, in that exchange, the roommate didn't respond at all. But the last time the roommate responded is in this next exchange, I'm going to turn myself in willingly. One of the neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff. You are all I worry about, love. Roommate says I'm much more worried about you. [00:11:28] Robinson says don't talk to the media. Please don't take any interviews or make any comments. If any police ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and stay silent. So there was some theories out there that the roommate knew and there was a group of trans folks online who knew ahead of time. [00:11:46] ET cetera. But it seems clear that the roommate definitely did not know and seems shocked by it. Right. So if this was a thing that was planned out on behalf of a certain community. ET cetera. And they all knew about it, and they were all celebrating it. [00:12:01] ET cetera. That's not what it says at all. And that goes for the entirety of the left, guys. Right. So, when you hear commentary from the right about how they killed Charlie Kirk, you can hate the commentary on the left. And I've seen some pretty reprehensible, disgusting celebrations [00:12:19] following Charlie Kirk's murder. But what does they mean? One individual took it upon himself to carry out this gruesome, disgusting act of violence. He robbed someone of their life. And as we all know, there are gradations and variations of beliefs on the left. [00:12:38] We live in a two party system that doesn't really make much sense. You got to pick one or the other. And honestly, for someone like me, for instance, neither side really represents what my principles and values are. So be careful with that type of generalizing language, because I think it's going to further deteriorate the conditions of this country [00:12:56] and the way that we relate to one another as Americans. Okay. Yeah. So when there's two layers to that, right. First, when a shooter comes out, everybody goes, okay, what is he. Why did he do it? In the old days, it used to be Muslim or non-Muslim, right? That hasn't happened in a while. [00:13:11] So now they get into, you know, is it a white male who's a white supremacist, etcetera. Is it a trans person? The right wing asks, even though there's only been two of those, I think, in the history of America. And, so in terms of shooters, and then, we get into that kind of debate [00:13:30] and then who do they represent? In this case? It was kind of complicated because there was a theory out there that doesn't look like it's correct that it was Groypers. Those are the Nick Fuentes followers, etc.. Right? So one of the things that I asked before we found out what his motive was, is if it's the groypers, should we hate all of them? [00:13:48] And should we attack them and generalize about them? If it turns out it's the opposite, it's the left. Should we hate them and attack them? And then you. When you ask that question, you begin to realize how absurd it is because it's one person. And if it turns out to be in this direction or that direction, [00:14:05] how does it implicate millions of people in either side? Right. So that's why they're like, well, okay, so this one turns out to be a white male and he's not a muslim. He's not black, he's not trans, he's not gay or whatever. Right. Oh, oh, we found a roommate, and the roommate might be trans. And then there was a wild conspiracy theory that I alluded to earlier about a [00:14:24] cabal of trans people egging him on, etc.. Now the police are saying, no, no such thing exists. The roommate didn't even know. Right. So then when you realize, oh, it's not some sort of organized effort, right? Then it's just a random like here. Here's another example. [00:14:40] Make it easy. Paul Pelosi's attacker. Right. So if we said they are coming to get you. And by the way, sometimes in the past we have said that okay. Or at least I'll speak for myself, I have I was very frustrated by one attack after another that targeted race. [00:14:57] Dylann roof, the guy who shot Latinos in Texas, on and on and on. Right. But no, they are not all of the right wing. This guy is not all of the left wing. And that's kind of obvious once you think it through. Right? So if I said to you, if you're on the right and I said to you, you are Paul [00:15:13] Pelosi's attacker, if you see a Democrat, I think you're going to grab a hammer and start smashing their head in. Even if, you know, under any circumstances, even if they're a frail old man in their 80s, you say, wait a minute, that's crazy assumption. Why would I do that? No, that's just some random guy that I got nothing to do with. [00:15:30] Exactly. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
