1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Live from ball Hartmeyer and the Crossroads of America. 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: Earlier today, President Trump made the announcements. 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: He made it on Fox and simply said. 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got a suspect in custody. 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: Yesterday, you were at the nine eleven memorial. We were 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: all watching that. Jatie Vance was supposed to be with you. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 3: He went out to be with Charlie Kirk's family and 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 3: to get the body back to his hometown in Arizona, 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: and you said you were going to reward him the 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is very nice of you. 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 3: Any updates on the suspect. 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, can I always say, I think just to protect 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 4: us all and so Fox doesn't get sued, I think 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 4: we all don't get sued and everything else. But I 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 4: think with a high degree of certain we have him 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 4: in custody. Okay, in custody. Everyone did a great job. 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 4: We worked with the local police, the governor, everybody did 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: a great job. You know, getting somebody that you start 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: off with absolutely nothing, and we started off with a 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 4: clip that made it look like an ant that was 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 4: almost useless. We just saw there was somebody up there, 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 4: and so much work has been done over the list 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 4: two and a half days. You know, it's amazing actually 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 4: when you start off with that and then all of 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 4: a sudden you get lucky or talent or whatever it is. 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, we're I think we're in great shape. 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: That's the pretty and. 29 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with getting lucky. I'll take getting lucky 30 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: every day of the week. Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today, 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: if I didn't say Loo, good to be with you. 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: So there was a press conference about the arrest and 33 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: the apprehension. I'm going to bring that to you as 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: much as I can of it. It played earlier and 35 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: so I recorded it and I made my commentary throughout, 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: and I'm going to bring that all to you so 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: you don't miss any. 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: Part of it. 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: What was said by cashutality, FBI Director Spencer Cox, the 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: Governor of Utah and others, And so I've got that 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit. I don't I don't 42 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: want to miss out on. 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: Some other stories. Of course, this is massive. 44 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Finding the person who did this to Charlie Kirk, assassinated 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk is huge. And then if you haven't heard it, 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: my conversation about what it is that we saw there 47 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: in Utah and people questioning whether you call this an 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: assassination because Charlie Kirk was not a politician, And I 49 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: argue that you absolutely can. 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Call it an assassination. 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: But I am here to say that this is quite 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: clearly political terrorism. There's not a question nor doubt in 53 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: my mind, and I don't think it should be in 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: any mind. I'm going to make this argument. The objective 55 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: here was to stop certain people from engaging in certain 56 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: conversations because they disapproved of the conversation, but even more 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: so because they didn't want anybody else to hear the 58 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: conversation and maybe think, ooh, that's interesting. When we take 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: a look at the concepts of the suppression of speech, 60 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that we fail to mention is 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: that the purpose of suppressing speech is not all about 62 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: so that person can't say anything. I don't like what 63 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: they have to say, what they say triggers me, or 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: whatever other nonsense someone might use. Oh it's hateful rhetoric, 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. But a huge part of 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: this is trying to ensure that other people don't hear this. 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: If we engage with what's different politically between the two parties, 68 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: we'll call it. And one can argue that part of 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: our problem is two parties. Sure, I absolutely have that 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: conversation is that there is a party that is in 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: locks step constantly in a party that isn't. And only 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: under President Trump have the Republicans been more like that. 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: And I find it problematic on a whole bunch of subjects. 74 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: But the left, somebody will say something at nine am, 75 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: and by two o'clock everybody's saying the same exact thing. 76 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: They absolutely agree with it, they absolutely believe it. Part 77 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: of what you see from the left in the anger 78 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: towards things that are said about the political right is 79 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: that if somebody else hears it, they might say, well, 80 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: wait a second, that's interesting, or wait a second, I've 81 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: seen that before. They might connect with it in a way. 82 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: It might do their own digging. They might do their 83 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: own investigation and maybe find that, Okay, I don't believe 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: what the left believes on this subject. Now someone's going 85 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: to say to me, Tony, you could say that about 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: the right. Yes, but the political right is not going 87 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: about killing people. If we want to make the argument 88 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: of where the violence is, I don't argue that there 89 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: has them been political violence from the right. I am 90 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: arguing that, going back to Steve Scalise, I can point 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: you to event after event after event that comes from 92 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: the political left or the policies of the political left. 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: What I will get responded with is January sixth, and 94 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: I'll say to you that the people who engaged in 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: writing should be in jail, But the people who got 96 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: invited into the Capitol, nothing should have happened to them. 97 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: But if we're now going to be opposed to writing, 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: which is a good thing, where was all the people 99 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: saying we should arrest those involved in the riots in 100 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Minneapolis and Seattle. And when that when you realize that 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: that answer doesn't exist, When you realize that answer is 102 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: total silence, you understand that the argument I'm making is 103 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: valid and sound, and the argument that others are making 104 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: January sixth, January sixth, January sixth doesn't hold. In the 105 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: greater conversation, the hearing of something cannot be the thing 106 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: that we squelch. It has to be the thing that 107 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: makes us better, not less speech, not less information. 108 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: As President than President Barack. 109 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: Obama once said, we need more information is better. More 110 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: conversation is good, wholeheartedly a believer, and this indeed was 111 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: political terrorism. I will have more on this, but let 112 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: me bring you now this press conference. Keep it here, 113 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: I'll catch it after the break. I'm Tony Katz. This 114 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: is Tony kats today.

Earlier they had. 117 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: The big press conference state and federal officials giving the 118 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: updates on what it is that President Trump stated while 119 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: he was on Fox and Friends earlier this morning that 120 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: there was a suspect in custody turned in by his father. 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm not using names. As a matter of standard practice. 122 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: In what I do, I do not give names. 123 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: I am not here to make a martyr out of anybody. 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: I am not interested in giving them any level of celebrity. 125 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: We know that he was His father. 126 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Clearly knew he did this, told him to turn himself in. 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: I think there was a as we get the information. 128 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: I think there was a minister involved as well. They 129 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: held the press conference. I wanted to bring it to 130 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: you in full so you heard every part of it 131 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: and then we can break it down from there. 132 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: This was ram. 133 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: Utah that of course where Utah Valley University is.

This is how they announced 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: that they have a suspect in custody. 136 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: And we'll see what other information they give. 137 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 5: Us well, law enforcement partners. 138 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 6: Following the remarks today, Governor Cox, Director Patel, and Commissioner 139 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 6: Mason will take questions. 140 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 5: Thank you. 141 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: First up as the Governor Spencer Cox, just waiting for 142 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: some people to get organized behind him, Cash Pattel, the 143 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: FBI Director is there and others. 144 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 5: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him. 145 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 6: On the evening of September eleventh, a family member of 146 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 6: Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted 147 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 6: the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had 148 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 6: confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident. 149 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 6: This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff's Office 150 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 6: and seen investigators at Utah Valley University. This information was 151 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 6: also conveyed to the FBI. Investigators reviewed additional video footage 152 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 6: from UVU surveillance and identified Robinson arriving on UVU campus 153 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 6: in a gray Dodge Challenger at approximately eight twenty nine 154 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 6: am on September tenth, in which he is observed on 155 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 6: video in a plain maroon T shirt, light colored shorts, 156 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 6: a black hat with a white logo, and light colored shoes. 157 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 6: When encountered in person by investigators in Washington County on 158 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 6: September twelfth in the early morning hours, Robinson was observed 159 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 6: in consistent clothing with those surveying images. Investigators interviewed a 160 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: family member of Robinson, who stated that Robinson had become 161 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 6: more political in recent years. The family member referenced a 162 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 6: recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to 163 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: September tenth, and in the conversation with another family member, 164 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked 165 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 6: about why they didn't like him and the viewpoints that 166 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 6: he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full 167 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 6: of hate and spreading hate. The family member also confirmed 168 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 6: Robinson had a gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified an individual 169 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 6: as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate, who 170 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 6: stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made a joke 171 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 6: on discord.

Remember, they 348 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: had a person, a suspect of interest. They then released 349 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: that person. Then there was a man hunt, this twenty 350 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: two year old admitting to his father that he did it. 351 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: His father, I believe a former sheriff, a sheriff's deputy 352 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: kept him there, informed authorities or informed others to inform authorities, 353 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: and that's when he was apprehended. 354 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: We're going to learn a lot, and I want to 355 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 2: bring the Q and A to you. For sure. 356 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: There's gonna be questions about whether or not this guy 357 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: had any kind of history, whether or not he. 358 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: Was known to anybody to be a. 359 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: Threat to himself, a threat to others. There are some 360 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: people on my side, right our side of the aisle, 361 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: right side of the aisle. Maybe you're not with me 362 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: on the side of the aisle, but you listen to 363 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: the show because you love a good show, and I 364 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: appreciate it and thank you discussing on the FBI didn't 365 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: do a good job, The FBI didn't do this, The 366 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: FBI didn't do that, the FBI bungled this. 367 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: I have no idea if any of that is true. 368 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: At this moment. 369 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: We are two days, not even since the assassination of 370 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, and someone's in custody because they were turned in. 371 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: How many times they turned in? 372 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: I would assume there's actually a fair amount of this 373 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: that takes place that is not somehow a kind of 374 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: carte blanche to oh, they didn't do the job. We 375 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: don't know what job was done or not done. We 376 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: don't know yet what kind of issues. 377 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: Certainly there was a fair amount of kind of. 378 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: Like conflicting conversation, but that could have also been purposeful 379 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: to try and not give anybody a full story so 380 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: they could better out whoever did this. So as this 381 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: process goes on, I wanted to bring it to you. 382 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: This is the sheriff was just speaking, and now Cash 383 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: Fattel FBI directors back to the podium. 384 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 7: In our mission, and I just want to say special thanks. 385 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 7: It's an honor to be a part of the Department 386 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 7: of Justice. 387 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: Back now to the Governor. 388 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 6: Spencer, copy you again to our incredible law enforcement team 389 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 6: who has worked so hard. Shareff, I got a solid 390 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 6: ninety minutes last. 391 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 5: Night, so I'm probably the most well rested person up here. 392 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 6: Please, gentlemen, I get the microphones, so I hope you 393 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 6: will permit me a moment just to share a few 394 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 6: more thoughts about where we are and how we got here, 395 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 6: and maybe a little bit of where we go from here. 396 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 6: I don't want to get too preachy, but I think 397 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 6: it's important that we, with eyes wide open, understand what's 398 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 6: happening in our country today. I've heard I've heard people say, well, 399 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 6: why are we Why are we so invested in this? 400 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 6: There's violence happening all across our country, and violence is 401 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 6: tragic everywhere, and every life taken is a child of 402 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 6: God who deserves our love and respect and dignity. This 403 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 6: is certainly about the tragic death assassination political assassination of 404 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk, but it is also much bigger than an 405 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 6: attack on an individual. It is an attack on all 406 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 6: of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. 407 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 6: It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to 408 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 6: the very foundation of who we are, of who we 409 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 6: have been, and who we could be in better times. 410 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 6: Political violence is different than any other type of violence 411 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 6: for lots of different reasons. One because in the very 412 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 6: act that Charlie championed of expression, that freedom of expression 413 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 6: that is enhrined in our founding documents, in having his 414 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 6: life taken in that very act, makes it more difficult 415 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 6: for people to feel like they can share their ideas, 416 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: that they can speak freely. We will never be able 417 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 6: to solve all the other problems, including the violence problems 418 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 6: that people are worried about, if we can't have a 419 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 6: clash of ideas safely and securely, even especially especially those 420 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 6: ideas with which you disagree. That's why this matters so much. 421 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 6: Over the last forty eight hours, I have been as 422 00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 6: angry as I have ever been, as sad as I 423 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 6: have ever been, and it was as anger pushed me 424 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 6: to the brink. It was actually Charlie's words that pulled 425 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 6: me back. I like to share some of those and 426 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 6: specifically right now, if I could, I need to talk 427 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 6: to the young people in our state, in my state, 428 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 6: and all across the country. As President Trump reminded me. 429 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 6: He said, you know who really loved Charlie the youths. 430 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: He's right, young people love Charlie, and young people hated Charlie. 431 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: And Charlie went into those places anyway, And these. 432 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 5: Are the words that have helped me. 433 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 6: Charlie said, when people stop talking, that's when you get violence. 434 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 6: He said that week can never forgive. Forgiveness is the 435 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 6: attribute of the strong. The only way out of the 436 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 6: labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. Welcome without judgment, love 437 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 6: without condition, forgive without limit. He said, always forgive your enemies. 438 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 6: Nothing annoys them so much. A few months ago, I 439 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 6: reference this. Last night, Charlie posted to social media. When 440 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 6: things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, 441 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 6: it's important to stay grounded, turn off your phone, read scripture, 442 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 6: spend time with friends, and remember Internet fury is not 443 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 6: real life. It's going to be okay. He again said, 444 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 6: when you stop having a human connection with someone you 445 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 6: disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence. 446 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 5: He said, what we as a culture. 447 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 6: Have to get back to is being able to have 448 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 6: a reasonable agreement, being able to have reasonable agreement where 449 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 6: violence is not an option. 450 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 5: Now again to my young friends out there. 451 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 6: You are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage, 452 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 6: it feels like rage is the only option. But through 453 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 6: those words, we have a reminder that we can choose 454 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 6: a different path. Your generation has an opportunity to build 455 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,239 Speaker 6: a culture that is very different than what we are 456 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 6: suffering through right now, not by pretending differences don't matter, 457 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 6: but by embracing our differences and having those hard conversations. 458 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 5: I think we. 459 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 6: Need more moral clarity right now. I hear all the 460 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 6: time that words are violence. Words are not violence. Violence 461 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 6: is violence. There is one person responsible for what happened here, 462 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 6: and that person is now in custody and will be 463 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 6: charged soon and will be held accountable. And yet all 464 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 6: of us have an opportunity right now to do something different. 465 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 6: I want to thank my fellow Utah's you know this 466 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 6: bad stuff happens. 467 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: And clearly very emotional Governor Spencer Cox there speaking about 468 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. Words that Charlie Kirk has spoken before and 469 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: of the well. 470 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: Something that we absolutely believe to be true. Right. 471 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: The violence is the violence. The violence is the violence. 472 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I believe that people can be 473 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: gendup to things. I believe people can be incited to things, 474 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: but in the end, people are responsible for the actions 475 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: they take. They're responsible for being incited. That much must 476 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: be rems. I don't say that there aren't things out 477 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: there that are trying. 478 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: To lead people to very very ugly ends. 479 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: I have said this about MSNBC and the New York 480 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Times and the others has called for a lone wolf, 481 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: this constant conversation about Trump as threat to democracy. 482 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: I absolutely believe that's the case. 483 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: But it is these people who engage in shooting President 484 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: Trump and candidate Trump, and Butler killing, assassinating Charlie Kirk 485 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: they are to blame. But these other people don't get 486 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: off scot free. We have to remember what they're doing 487 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: and we have to counter it with more speech, with 488 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: us trying to persuade more people the Q and A. 489 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 2: I'll try and. 490 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: Bring that to you as much as I can keep 491 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: it here. This is Tony Katz today. When it came 492 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: time for the questions and answers, it was interesting to 493 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: me that only the Governor Spencer Cox answered questions. And 494 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: as I was watching it happen, because this happened earlier today, 495 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: Tony Katz Tony Kats. Today, I wanted to bring it 496 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: to you as much as possible, everything that happened in 497 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: the announcement of the arrest of a suspect in the 498 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: assassination of Charlie Kirk. This is a guy who was 499 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: not a student at Utah val University. 500 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: He lived at home. 501 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: The bullets where it was found written on them a fascist, 502 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: exclamation point, catch exclamation point, some other things that I 503 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: don't quite know what they mean yet. I think they'll 504 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: be explained to us in the days ahead. I just 505 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: found it interesting that it was only the governor, Spencer Cox, 506 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: and not Cash Ptel, the FBI director, answering the questions, 507 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: not the special agent in charge, not local law. 508 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: Enforcement answering any of the questions. 509 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: And I almost got the feel that that's the way 510 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: the governor wanted it, wanted to be somebody who was 511 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: in charge of the situation. Was this about putting his 512 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: state at ease, maybe letting people know who he is 513 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: on a national level? Right, It's an awful thing to 514 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: think that the politics plays into any of it, but 515 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: bother plays into every part of it. 516 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: But we'll get to that another time. 517 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: So the sadly you didn't get to hear the questions, 518 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: but I think that you'll get from some of the 519 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: answers that we share here what some of the questions were. 520 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: So there was some information given there. 521 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: Let me get you to some of those responses from 522 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: the Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, regarding the apprehension of 523 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: the suspect in the assassination of Charlie kirk. 524 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 6: Well, I will leave that up to you to interpret 525 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 6: what those engravings mean. I think the clearest one that 526 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 6: says catch fascist, there's not. And by the way, that's 527 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 6: like catch like a ball, catch this, that's I think 528 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 6: that that speaks for itself. We do not at this 529 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 6: time have any information that would lead to any additional arrests. 530 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 5: Yes, but the investigation is ongoing. 531 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 6: Yes, So right now, mister Robinson is been booked into 532 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 6: the Utah County jail. You you heard the President this 533 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 6: morning report that that he was taken into custody, that 534 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 6: that his family and and a friend helped to deliver 535 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 6: him into to the in the custody of law enforcement 536 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 6: in Washington County. For those of you that don't know 537 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 6: where Washington County is, it is the southern most southwestern 538 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 6: most part of the state of Utah. It's about a 539 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 6: three and a half to four hour drive from here 540 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 6: where we are right now, and that's that's where where 541 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 6: he lived and where he they turned him in. Please 542 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 6: I go here, so we we how we obtained the gun. 543 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 6: The gun was found was found here. So so I 544 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 6: don't have much more details on that. We do know 545 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 6: that that that he drove. We had his car here 546 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 6: on on campus and then and then we had his 547 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 6: car going going south back to back to the Saint George. 548 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 5: It's actually the city. 549 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 6: Of Washington in Washington County. I absolutely believe that this 550 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 6: is a watershed in American history. Yes, the question is 551 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 6: what kind of watershed? And that chapter remains to be written. 552 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,239 Speaker 6: Is this the end of a dark chapter in our 553 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 6: history or the beginning of a darker chapter in our history? Look, 554 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at true political assassinations in 555 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 6: this country of someone of this stature, this feels a 556 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 6: lot like the late sixties and having one so gruesomely 557 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 6: displayed on camera. In all of our hands and in 558 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 6: all of our pockets. We are not wired as human 559 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 6: beings biologically. Historically, we have not evolved in a way 560 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 6: that we are capable of processing those types of violent imagery. 561 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 6: And by the way, we've seen another one with a 562 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 6: gruesome stabbing very recently that went viral. This is not 563 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 6: good for us. It is not good to consume. Social 564 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 6: media is a cancer on our society right now. And 565 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 6: I would encourage again, I would encourage people to log off, turnoff, 566 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 6: touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do 567 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 6: good in your community. So when he's first spoted on campus, 568 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 6: he has different clothing on, and then he changes clothing 569 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 6: on the roof and then changed back into that clothing 570 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 6: at some point, so that when he was when he 571 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 6: was apprehended, when he was arrested, the clothing matched the 572 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 6: clothing he had on before the shooting. 573 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: So that's where I basically ended the questions and answers 574 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: with the Utah Governor, Spencer Cox answering the questions again, 575 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: I do find it peculiar that the FBI director did 576 00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: not answer any questions I thought that was It certainly 577 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: wasn't what I was expecting, And it's something about that 578 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: hits me awkward, and I'm just not totally sure. 579 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 2: What it is yet. But I am glad that there's 580 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: a suspect in custody. Based on what we have now. 581 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: There's already a confession that took place, the confession to 582 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: the father that had happened, and it went from there. 583 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 2: The idea of motive is. 584 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: Being hinted at, discussed. I think that based on as 585 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: the governor said, when you've got a bullet casing that 586 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: you inscribed into it, hey, fascist exclamation point, catch exclamation point, 587 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: you understand what's going on, and you understand how. 588 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 2: All of this talk and all this rhetoric. 589 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: From certain people on certain sides of the aisle are 590 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: leading to these violent acts and the attacks on people 591 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: on the political right. We're going to condemn all the 592 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: political attacks, but we should be honest about what's happening 593 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: without question.
