Brian Entin Investigates FBI Director Kash Patel's Statement on Charlie Kirk Assassination and Potential Accomplices

[00:00] Hey guys, thanks so much for checking

[00:01] out my channel. I really appreciate it.

[00:03] Please click to subscribe. Uh in this

[00:05] episode, digging into the latest on the

[00:07] Charlie Kirk assassination. Uh new

[00:10] information from the FBI director about

[00:12] what they're looking into. Mainly

[00:13] accompllices.

[00:15] Who could the accomplice be? If there is

[00:17] an accomplice, it might not be who

[00:19] you're expecting. Also, those text

[00:21] messages between uh the suspect Tyler

[00:23] Robinson and his roommate/romantic

[00:27] partner. A lot of people thought they

[00:29] were strange. I've got a former FBI

[00:31] agent digging into all of them. And then

[00:33] the uh surveillance video that was

[00:35] released from years earlier of the

[00:38] suspect uh Tyler Robinson when he was

[00:40] pulled over uh in a fender bender. What

[00:43] does that video actually tell us uh

[00:46] about him? I'm digging into all of it in

[00:48] this edition of Brian Enson

[00:50] Investigates. Hey guys, thanks again for

[00:52] checking out my channel. I've been

[00:53] digging in again to the latest uh in the

[00:57] Tyler Robinson case, the alleged Charlie

[01:00] Kirk assassin, and some of this new

[01:02] information that's been coming out. Uh

[01:04] coming up later in the episode, you're

[01:05] going to hear from Steve Moore, the

[01:07] former FBI agent who I've been

[01:08] interviewing about a lot of this, but I

[01:10] just want to give you the latest updates

[01:12] first before um before I get into that.

[01:15] And a lot of this is coming from a tweet

[01:18] from FBI Director Cash uh Patel. And

[01:21] this is what he wrote. He wrote, "As the

[01:22] director of the FBI, I am committed to

[01:24] ensuring the investigation into Charlie

[01:26] Kirk's assassination is thorough and

[01:28] exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its

[01:31] conclusion. The full weight of America's

[01:33] law enforcement agencies are actively

[01:35] following the evidence that has emerged,

[01:37] but our efforts extend beyond initial

[01:39] findings. We are examining every facet

[01:42] of this assassination." And this is the

[01:44] part that gets interesting. Sorry, it's

[01:45] thundering out here.

[01:47] We are meticulously investigating

[01:49] theories and questions including the

[01:50] location from where the shot was taken,

[01:53] the possibility of accompllices, the

[01:55] text message, confession and related

[01:57] conversations, discord chats, the angle

[02:00] of the shot and bullet impact, how the

[02:02] weapon was transported, and I'm going to

[02:04] get into what that could mean in a

[02:06] second. um hand gestures observed as uh

[02:09] potential signals near Charlie at the

[02:11] time of his assassination and visitors

[02:14] to the alleged shooters residence in the

[02:16] hours and days leading up to September

[02:19] 10th, 2025. And again, he said hours

[02:22] leading up to September 10th, 2025. Who

[02:24] was visiting with him? What do they

[02:25] know? Going to get into that in a

[02:26] second. Uh he writes, "Some details are

[02:28] known today while others are still being

[02:30] pursued to ensure every possibility is

[02:32] considered. Our primary focus is to

[02:35] complete this investigation and deliver

[02:38] justice to protect the integrity of the

[02:40] investigation and subsequent

[02:41] prosecution. We cannot release every

[02:44] piece of information we have to the

[02:45] public right now. We will ensure every

[02:48] question is addressed at the appropriate

[02:50] moment. And then it says, "Regarding

[02:51] specific details, such as questions

[02:53] about the plane that allegedly turned

[02:56] off its transponder after departing from

[02:57] an airport near the assassination site,

[03:00] we can share updates when answers are

[03:01] confirmed. After interviews with the

[03:03] pilot in consultation with the FAA, we

[03:05] determined the transponder was not

[03:07] turned off. Incomplete flight data in

[03:09] rural areas acc uh caused the apparent

[03:12] gap." Um,

[03:14] what he's talking about there is there

[03:16] was this theory, and I saw it on X.

[03:18] There were people were tracking this

[03:19] plane that was flying over the area

[03:20] where Charlie Kirk was assassinated and

[03:22] it sort of disappeared from flight

[03:24] radar, but they're basically saying

[03:26] there's an explanation for that. Uh, the

[03:28] entire FBI mourned the loss of Charlie

[03:30] Kirk. We will not rest until justice is

[03:31] served in our investigation into this

[03:33] assassination. We'll continue until

[03:35] every question uh is answered. So,

[03:37] that's the latest from Cash Patel. And

[03:38] again, there are some hints, I think,

[03:41] what I would call hints in that

[03:42] statement of what they're really looking

[03:43] into. and that's what I'm going to get

[03:45] into with my former FBI agent friend in

[03:47] a second who's done investigations like

[03:49] this. So, that's coming up in a second.

[03:51] Um, also new, authorities said the gun

[03:54] used in the killing of Charlie Kirk may

[03:56] be a decades old untraceable rifle. They

[04:00] identified the gun, it's a, you know, an

[04:02] older boltaction rifle, a type

[04:05] originally manufactured in Germany for

[04:07] military during both World Wars. and it

[04:10] actually predates laws that required

[04:13] firearms to carry serial numbers or

[04:15] other identifying marks. Um, so is it

[04:18] possible that Robinson chose that

[04:19] firearm because it's harder to trace?

[04:22] Remember, and I'm going to get into this

[04:24] with Steve, but

[04:27] in those strange text messages between

[04:29] him and the roommate/romantic

[04:31] partner, he said, "I'm worried what my

[04:33] old man would do if I didn't bring back

[04:35] Grandpa's rifle. I don't know if it has

[04:37] a serial number, but it wouldn't trace

[04:39] to me. I'm worried about prints. I had

[04:41] to leave it in a bush. But he said, "I

[04:44] don't know if it has a serial number."

[04:45] So, did he Is that the reason he chose

[04:47] that gun? Because he knew that it was

[04:49] untraceable.

[04:51] Also, uh there's newly released body

[04:53] camera footage that shows Tyler Robinson

[04:55] after a 2022 fender bender in Utah. He

[04:58] had on sunglasses and a hat similar to

[05:00] what he was wearing um on when he was on

[05:02] the run after allegedly gunning down um

[05:04] Charlie Kirk. Again, this is from a

[05:07] fender bender. It's from years before,

[05:08] but it's still interesting to just see

[05:09] his mannerisms. Look at this.

[05:12] >> Who's driver? You the driver?

[05:14] >> Yeah.

[05:17] >> Can you tell me just really quick what

[05:18] happened?

[05:19] >> I was coming this way and he was just

[05:21] passing through and he pulled out uh

[05:24] from here or no from there I think.

[05:27] Which do you remember which lane you

[05:29] were in?

[05:29] >> I was in one of those two lanes going

[05:32] this way. I think in the right Yeah. In

[05:34] the rightmost lane coming this way.

[05:36] Okay.

[05:36] >> And he would have been there going left.

[05:40] Okay.

[05:41] >> And as I was coming through, he turned

[05:42] in and I t-boned into the side.

[05:44] >> Okay. Do you remember looking at the

[05:47] light?

[05:47] >> Yeah. It was It just turned yellow as I

[05:51] was getting into the intersection.

[05:52] >> Gotcha. Okay. Are you Are either one of

[05:54] you injured in any way, shape, or form?

[05:56] No. Nothing hurts. Do you have your

[05:58] registration or proof of insurance on

[06:00] your vehicle?

[06:01] >> Robinson's mother then also shows up to

[06:03] the scene is caught on the body camera

[06:05] video uh and has to bring the insurance

[06:07] information. You can see her here.

[06:10] >> All right, buddy. Here's your

[06:11] information back here. So, this is a

[06:13] driver exchange form. He This has all of

[06:15] his vehicle information and all your

[06:17] vehicle information. Okay. The most

[06:19] important number on this piece of paper

[06:20] is this one right here. Top left. This

[06:22] is your case number, instant number, all

[06:24] that stuff. Okay? And that's the number

[06:26] that the report will be filed under. All

[06:28] right. When you contact your insurance

[06:30] company, that's the number they're going

[06:32] to ask for right there. Okay.

[06:33] >> So, I am not issuing citations today.

[06:36] Mom, do you have any questions since

[06:37] you'll probably be taking care of this?

[06:39] >> I will be taking care of this. And this

[06:41] is all new for me, but we'll figure it

[06:43] out.

[06:43] >> All right. But basically, just call your

[06:45] insurance company. Let them know he's

[06:46] involved in an accident. They'll ask for

[06:48] this number. Okay? And then, uh, just

[06:50] kind of go from there. They'll help you.

[06:52] >> They'll do whatever insurance companies

[06:54] do. So, obviously has nothing to do with

[06:56] the assassination. Um, but, um, still

[06:59] interesting nonetheless. I'm joined now

[07:01] by Steve Moore, former FBI agent. Um,

[07:04] it's good to see you, Steve. Thank you

[07:05] for joining me again. Um, this this Cash

[07:09] Patel tweet

[07:11] >> really opened up a can of worms. Um,

[07:13] there's a there's a lot to it that he's

[07:15] putting out there and I'm cur I want to

[07:16] kind of go through a couple of the

[07:18] different elements that he mentions and

[07:20] see what you think. Um he says that

[07:22] they're investigating theories and

[07:24] questions is the way that he put it. The

[07:27] first thing he says is the location

[07:30] where the shot was taken. Um what does

[07:33] that mean to you?

[07:35] >> Well, you know, let me just do it in

[07:37] more of a holistic way here. What it

[07:40] appears he's done is had somebody go to

[07:42] the case agent, the agent in charge of

[07:45] the investigation, and said, "What are

[07:47] what are you looking at?" you know,

[07:48] write write it all down because those

[07:50] are exactly the things that the FBI

[07:53] would be looking at.

[07:55] >> So, in terms of possibility, he said

[07:57] possibility of accomplice, and you and I

[07:59] have spoken about this before. Um, but

[08:02] it's been a while since kind of early

[08:04] on. Where's your head at on that now? Do

[08:06] you still think that someone else may

[08:08] have known or may have even helped?

[08:11] I'm having problems with the roommates's

[08:15] statements. Or actually, not the

[08:17] roommate statements, but the things that

[08:19] the shooter or the alleged shooter

[08:23] texted to his roommate. I mean, listen

[08:25] to this. He says, "I don't know if the

[08:28] gun has a serial number, but they won't

[08:30] trace it to me. I'm worried about

[08:33] Prince. I had to leave it in a bush

[08:35] where I changed outfits."

[08:38] Well, that doesn't sound like something

[08:41] you would talk tell somebody who had no

[08:44] idea of what you were talking about. It

[08:47] sounds like you were talking to somebody

[08:49] who was elbowed deep in whatever you

[08:52] were doing. He didn't have to explain

[08:55] why what gun he's talking about. He

[08:57] didn't expl have to explain why he

[08:59] didn't want fingerprints on this gun. Um

[09:03] he refers to it as my grandfather's gun.

[09:08] Well, apparently he had already, you

[09:11] know, discussed it. So, so Brian,

[09:15] there's two things here. The FBI agents

[09:17] who are working this right now and the

[09:19] and the Utah State Police, they know uh

[09:23] probably

[09:26] so much more than I do in this. But I'm

[09:29] going to tell you that if I looked at

[09:32] that text, you are going to have to go a

[09:34] long way to convince me as an FBI agent

[09:38] that that person isn't an accomplice.

[09:41] >> Do you think that the um I go back I

[09:44] mean in some documents referred to as

[09:46] the roommate, but the governor has

[09:47] called uh him a uh romantic interest. I

[09:51] mean, do you think that person is going

[09:52] to be charged with something eventually?

[09:55] If that person isn't charged, I would

[09:58] need to know right now what in the world

[10:03] they were thinking when they got a

[10:05] message saying, "I hid the rifle in the

[10:08] bushes when I changed my clothes, and

[10:10] I'm afraid there are fingerprints on the

[10:12] rifle." I mean, the hell do you think he

[10:15] was talking about? I mean,

[10:18] you would You're going to have to That's

[10:21] like convincing me the Earth is flat.

[10:23] you're going to have to go a long way.

[10:25] I'm I'm not going to tell you that I

[10:27] that I think it's impossible, but that

[10:30] bit of circumstantial evidence to me is

[10:34] extremely difficult to uh dance around.

[10:37] So, yeah, I think there's a strong

[10:40] possibility that he will be um that he

[10:43] will be um indicted, but there are all

[10:47] these things that you that come in from

[10:50] all different directions. Um, I had a

[10:53] guy uh confess to providing a weapon

[10:56] knowing that a guy was going to commit a

[10:59] a horrible crime with it and I got a

[11:02] confession from him, but they didn't

[11:05] prosecute. They wouldn't prosecute that

[11:07] one and it tore me in half and I never

[11:10] got adequate answers uh even in the FBI.

[11:14] Um, but there so I assume maybe he was

[11:17] an informant for another office. I don't

[11:19] know. But somewhere along the line,

[11:22] these things can get derailed. And right

[11:25] now, I think the burden uh is on the FBI

[11:28] to ex to either indict or explain why uh

[11:33] those were not uh culpable statements.

[11:36] >> Yeah. And the next thing I had listed

[11:38] that uh Patel wrote was text message

[11:40] confession. Um, which

[11:45] you picked up on some of the things that

[11:46] I noticed, but even just in general, the

[11:49] whole exchange,

[11:51] something about it a lot of people did

[11:54] just find strange. I mean, even it was

[11:57] just people thought that it was fake. I

[11:59] mean, even the formality between these

[12:01] two, you think if they're in this ro

[12:03] romantic relationship and they're both

[12:04] young people, it was I don't know. There

[12:07] is there was something suspicious about

[12:10] it, I think. Do you think?

[12:12] >> Yeah. I Well, I think the way they were

[12:14] talking is suspicious. Um I don't think

[12:18] you're talking I mean you're talking

[12:19] southern Utah people regardless of how

[12:22] uh spiffy they are and how how um you

[12:26] know leaning into their their

[12:29] generation. Uh if as you've seen in some

[12:33] of the uh like the police interviews

[12:35] that were done with him uh after a car

[12:37] accident, you have seen that this guy

[12:39] talks pretty straightforward. He is not

[12:41] a valley guy, you know, and so what he's

[12:44] what he's doing is I think speaking

[12:46] pretty much the way he speaks.

[12:49] >> Yeah. Right. That right. It may seem

[12:52] strange in the text, but you're right.

[12:53] Um, and we'll get to this in a second,

[12:55] but that body camera video from a few

[12:57] years earlier, um, you know, I was even

[13:00] watching him thinking like he almost

[13:02] acted like a police officer. Just he was

[13:04] so like matterof fact about the things

[13:07] he was saying. Patel also said they're

[13:09] looking into how the weapon was

[13:11] transported. What do you think that

[13:13] means?

[13:15] >> That means the agent probably has the

[13:17] same questions I have. How did he get it

[13:19] on the roof? How did nobody see it? How

[13:22] did that blanket get up there with him?

[13:24] Um, you know, the logistical things. And

[13:27] you know, we've spoken before where I've

[13:29] said being an FBI agent is A plus B

[13:31] equals C. And you are you're either

[13:34] solving for A or B or C. And if you

[13:37] can't figure out how the rifle got up

[13:39] there, uh, or or it or it's not obvious,

[13:43] then that's a serious question. I I

[13:46] mean, you as an FBI agent may not know

[13:49] the truth, but you know where there's

[13:51] problems in proving the truth. And so if

[13:54] there is no visible uh if there's no

[13:58] video of him going up on that roof with

[14:00] that rifle, if there's no easy way of

[14:03] getting that rifle on the roof, then

[14:06] you're going to have to assure yourself

[14:09] that he didn't leave it the day before,

[14:12] that he didn't have an accomplice who

[14:14] threw it up to him. Uh these are things

[14:17] I mean when you've got a case like this

[14:20] the entire world is watching and you

[14:23] cannot uh you cannot in any way shape or

[14:27] form uh soft pedal this one.

[14:30] >> Do you think the fact that he's saying

[14:32] how the weapon was transported in his

[14:34] list of theories and questions indicates

[14:37] that there's something that they have

[14:39] seen that is significant about that? Or

[14:41] do you think he's just listing out these

[14:43] things and they may be absolutely

[14:45] nothing?

[14:46] I think he is listing out the things

[14:49] regardless of whether regardless of

[14:52] their importance or probability. He can

[14:56] say whether there's an accomplice and

[14:58] he'll think there's zero chance or

[15:01] whether or how he got it on the roof. We

[15:03] kind of know how he's got you know what

[15:05] I'm saying. He's going down and listing

[15:06] all the things that they are working on

[15:09] and he will have a brief in in front of

[15:11] him and get daily briefs um first thing

[15:14] in the morning on how the case is going.

[15:17] So he will have an idea of where the FBI

[15:20] is on each one of those uh subjects. But

[15:25] um you know those are moving targets and

[15:28] so what he's doing is just giving you a

[15:30] rundown of what they're doing. I wish

[15:32] they wouldn't do that kind of stuff, but

[15:34] you know, he apparently felt it was

[15:36] necessary in this case.

[15:38] >> He also brought up um hand gestures

[15:42] observed as potential signals, and I

[15:44] don't know if you've seen that video,

[15:45] Steve. It's the main one I've seen is it

[15:48] looks like it's like a security guard

[15:49] behind Charlie uh making some hand

[15:52] motions. What do you make of those?

[15:56] >> I'd have to um I'd have to have more

[15:58] information on that. you know,

[16:00] everything's going to look suspicious

[16:02] after somebody's shot. Um there's

[16:05] there's going to be so many things that

[16:07] are just, you know, throw it on the

[16:09] wall, see if it sticks. And so, uh those

[16:12] would be kind of uh I'm sorry,

[16:16] relatively simple to um sus out. I mean,

[16:20] you go interview all those people first

[16:22] of all. Um, and you know, it do a

[16:26] background investigation on them and

[16:28] that's where the, you know, the

[16:29] investigation takes so much time. You

[16:32] know, you find that security guard, he

[16:34] says, "I don't know what you're talking

[16:35] about. There was a bee, you know, this

[16:37] kind of stuff." And, and you then can't

[16:40] say, "Oh, he said it was a bee." No, you

[16:43] have to investigate every single thing

[16:45] right down to what he did the night

[16:47] before. um where he was supposed to be

[16:50] stationed, uh you know, everything like

[16:52] that. And so, yeah, I I don't put a

[16:56] whole lot of stock in that because

[16:59] witnesses say a lot of things. Um but

[17:02] again, you have to you have to wrestle

[17:06] it to the ground. You have to know what

[17:08] it is uh without doubt.

[17:12] Um, he also brought up visitors to the

[17:15] alleged shooters residence in the hours

[17:18] and he and I thought I picked up on this

[17:19] that he said hours and days leading up

[17:22] to September 10th. He didn't just say

[17:24] days, but he said hours and days. So,

[17:27] apparently there's, you know, right

[17:29] before he left or I mean, at least

[17:31] that's what it makes it sound like. What

[17:33] What's significant there?

[17:36] >> Well, that they existed. Um he didn't

[17:39] say whether there were visitors or

[17:42] whether he had people that he was

[17:44] communicating. He said investigating

[17:47] visitors. So to me that indicates that

[17:50] he had people coming over. Well,

[17:52] somebody his age and his and his friend,

[17:55] they're going to have friends that come

[17:57] over. You have to separate the

[17:59] suspicious from the nonsuspicious. But

[18:02] the other thing is is when you get

[18:03] somebody so deep in these violent

[18:06] websites in the violent part or the the

[18:09] far radical uh fringes of the internet

[18:13] uh it's not uncommon for people who have

[18:16] never spoken uh face to face to have

[18:20] meetings um when it comes time to for

[18:24] something to happen. Um, and I would I

[18:27] would analogize it to somebody starting

[18:30] a uh a romantic relationship online with

[18:33] somebody across the country. Eventually,

[18:35] that person's going to come to your

[18:36] house or you're going to meet them

[18:38] somewhere. Uh, in the same way in the

[18:41] world of extreme violent radicals, um,

[18:44] when they get talking about this, there

[18:47] is a point at which they meet. And um

[18:51] usually though I would you know unless

[18:53] they are actively facilitating it I

[18:56] wouldn't expect them to meet like the

[18:59] night before unless they stayed and

[19:01] helped.

[19:03] >> With the significance of this case and

[19:06] just you know a huge event that it was

[19:09] with Charlie Kirk being assassinated.

[19:11] You saw what happened yesterday or on

[19:14] Sunday with his funeral and the

[19:15] president was there and the vice

[19:16] president. I mean, do you think if there

[19:19] was an accomplice or someone even

[19:21] remotely involved by this point and with

[19:24] all of the resources of the FBI and the

[19:26] government now investigating this, by

[19:29] this point we would have already seen

[19:30] some kind of arrest or something?

[19:33] >> No. No, not at all. Because that's going

[19:36] to be the most um delicate part of the

[19:38] investigation. And I wouldn't tell you I

[19:40] would I wouldn't tell you. I wouldn't

[19:42] talk to the press as an FBI agent until

[19:45] I had an indictment and I had the cuffs

[19:47] on him. Then I would tell them how we

[19:49] did it rather than, hey, look what we

[19:52] might do. You know, because people who

[19:55] uh people who are uh potential or who

[19:59] are accompllices in crimes, if they find

[20:03] out they're looking for you or somebody

[20:05] like you or a person your age, they're

[20:08] going to go to ground. They're going to

[20:09] get out of town. they're going to make

[20:11] it hard on you. So, uh,

[20:15] unless it's a slam dunk I, uh, on a, on

[20:18] an accomplice or an accessory before or

[20:20] after the fact, I don't think we would

[20:22] have heard about it yet.

[20:24] >> Interesting. And then just one of my

[20:26] last things, um, this information has

[20:27] come out, and you mentioned this about

[20:29] the gun, uh, that it was a decades old

[20:32] untraceable rifle. Apparently, it

[20:34] predates laws that required serial

[20:37] numbers on firearms. Um, which

[20:41] especially when you think about that

[20:42] fact and you and you bring in what he

[20:46] wrote in those messages, I mean, do you

[20:48] think that that was part of his plan to

[20:50] use that specific gun?

[20:52] >> Yeah. Yeah. I think uh because what he

[20:55] was hoping for is nobody would ever

[20:57] trace the gun. Therefore, you know,

[20:59] there's no way they would go looking for

[21:02] this in the grandparents house. You

[21:04] know, some some uh older guy in uh near

[21:08] Provo, Utah. What they're going to find

[21:11] what you're going to find, I think, is

[21:13] that they uh that he used it because he

[21:16] knew not just that it was untraceable,

[21:19] but that there was just be like it's not

[21:22] going to be a a rifle where you could

[21:24] easily look at the lens and grooves on

[21:26] the bullet. You know, I I've seen some

[21:28] people on the uh internet say, "Well, if

[21:31] you only have the bullet, you can't

[21:32] trace it to a weapon." Oh, yeah, you

[21:35] can. And so, he wanted something where

[21:37] there was nothing in a database to trace

[21:40] it to. And so, that was probably one of

[21:43] his uh better ideas because there was no

[21:46] record of that. Mouser 98s have been

[21:48] around since uh the teens of last

[21:52] century. So, there's tens of thousands

[21:55] of them. and and I've seen mousers and

[21:57] the Russian SKS's. These things are

[22:01] when the when the militaries after World

[22:04] War I and World War II devested of their

[22:06] weapons, a lot of them came to the US as

[22:09] cheap hunting rifles.

[22:11] >> Were you, and this is kind of not so

[22:12] much a law enforcement question, but um

[22:15] a lot of people were touched by Charlie

[22:17] Kirk's widow, Erica, at the funeral

[22:21] saying um you know that she forgives. I

[22:24] mean, they're obviously very religious

[22:26] people that she forgives um the alleged

[22:29] shooter and and essentially saying, you

[22:32] know, that she doesn't want the blood on

[22:33] her hands in terms of the death penalty.

[22:35] Like, it's up to the government, but she

[22:37] wasn't going to publicly advocate for

[22:39] that. Did that did that surprise you or

[22:41] what do you make of that?

[22:43] >> Um, no. Not not

[22:47] not knowing sorry knowing um what I know

[22:51] about uh Charlie and Erica uh Kirk. I'm

[22:55] not surprised she said that. I'm not I I

[22:58] am um gratified she said that. I think

[23:02] that that's uh it was extremely

[23:05] touching. It just it it broke me. Uh but

[23:09] if uh the the and and I hate to jump off

[23:13] the the nobility of that for a minute uh

[23:16] and and come back to the fact that as

[23:18] law enforcement, one of the hardest

[23:20] things to do is manage victims families

[23:24] and uh you're going to get a lot of

[23:26] people, you know, like the the parents

[23:28] of of that tragic Idaho murder, uh multi

[23:31] murder, the Coberg thing, uh Coleberger,

[23:35] uh they wanted this guy's scalp.

[23:38] right now and uh we're not happy I think

[23:41] when the police uh did not seek the

[23:44] death penalty or or doesn't appear to be

[23:47] and and so I've had the same issues

[23:51] where we had to go to people and say

[23:54] we're not going to seek the death

[23:55] penalty on the person who brutally

[23:59] murdered your relative and that is tough

[24:02] and it always I mean you find out a lot

[24:06] about a person's character and uh

[24:10] nobility when they say I'm I don't need

[24:16] vengeance.

[24:17] >> I just need justice in this case. And um

[24:21] so it was it was moving for me. I was um

[24:24] grateful to see that and uh

[24:28] it's it's it just actually makes it

[24:30] easier for the police and the FBI.

[24:33] >> Yeah, it's an interesting perspective

[24:34] you have on it. Um, well, appreciate

[24:36] your time, Steve, as always. Thank you

[24:38] so much.

[24:38] >> Thank you very much.

[24:39] >> I appreciate Steve Moore for talking

[24:41] with me. Um, I've sort of been checking

[24:43] in with him throughout the

[24:44] investigation. Thank you guys for

[24:46] following along. I just wanted to say at

[24:48] the end of this, too, um, totally

[24:50] unrelated, obviously, but for those of

[24:52] you who have been following me for a

[24:53] while, um, you know probably about my

[24:57] dog Shelby, my golden retriever. Um,

[25:00] I've had her in my videos before. or

[25:02] I've talked to her about her a lot on X

[25:03] before I started even YouTubing just

[25:05] when I was mainly doing X through all

[25:07] the stories that I've covered cuz I've

[25:09] had her for 13 years and she is um

[25:13] really my best friend. Um and I had to

[25:15] put her down a couple of days ago um and

[25:20] uh I just wanted to share that because

[25:21] many of you um have known about Shelby

[25:25] for a while, people who have followed me

[25:26] for a really really long time and she

[25:27] was just really sick. you know, I I had

[25:30] kept her going for a while. She had

[25:31] joint problems. She had I mean, really

[25:33] bad joint problems. She had kidney

[25:35] problems. She started having seizures,

[25:38] which she was on medicine on. She had a

[25:39] lot of problems. And it just got to the

[25:40] point where I felt like I was just being

[25:42] selfish um sort of keeping her going.

[25:45] And um so, anybody who has a dog or

[25:47] golden retriever um you know what that's

[25:50] if you've lost one, you know what that's

[25:52] like. And um yeah, I just kind of wanted

[25:55] to share that just because

[25:58] um I'm like I'm not looking for sympathy

[25:59] or anything. I'm totally okay. But I

[26:02] just

[26:04] I don't know. For those of you who have

[26:05] dogs, I wanted to recognize Shelby

[26:08] because behind the scenes, like with all

[26:10] this crazy travel that I do and all the

[26:12] stress, she's sort of been my constant

[26:14] for 13 years and she's always been there

[26:17] when I get home and she's always just

[26:18] been sort of like my support blanket.

[26:20] Um, and even like when I started out,

[26:23] you know, 13 years ago, living in a

[26:26] little crummy apartment, you know, I'd

[26:28] work double shifts reporting and she

[26:30] would be stuck home alone and holding,

[26:32] you know, holding not going to the

[26:33] bathroom inside and just she's always

[26:35] been such a trooper. So, um, yeah, this

[26:39] one goes out to Shelby and, uh, I'll see

[26:41] you guys later.
