FBI Investigates Transgender Connection in Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassination Attempt by Tyler Robinson

[00:08] KEN: 25 MINUTES AFTER THE HOUR

[00:09] AND FBI OFFICIALS CONFIRMING THE

[00:10] SUSPECT ACCUSED OF KILLING

[00:12] CHARLIE KIRK LIVED WITH HIS

[00:16] TRANSGENDER PARTNER AND THEY'RE

[00:17] FULLY COOPERATING WITH THE

[00:19] AGENCY'S INVESTIGATION.

[00:19] ACCORDING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT,

[00:20] TYLER ROBINSON'S PARTNER SHOWED

[00:23] AGENTS DISCORD MESSAGES ABOUT

[00:25] LEAVING AND RETRIEVING A RIFLE

[00:30] AND ENGRAVING BULLETS AND

[00:32] CHANGING OUTFITS.

[00:33] JOSH RITTER JOINING US NOW.

[00:35] GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US, MY

[00:38] FRIEND.

[00:38] I WANT TO SHARE A BIT ABOUT THE

[00:40] ALLEGED SHOOTER.

[00:40] A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LEARNING

[00:42] BITS AND PIECES AS WE SHOWED THE

[00:46] WOOL HERE.

[00:47] 22-YEAR-OLD UTAH NATIVE

[00:48] DESCRIBED AS QUIET AND VERY

[00:49] SMART.

[00:50] I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO

[00:52] THE LOWER RIGHT IN WHITE.

[00:54] REGISTERED TO VOTE WITH NO PARTY

[00:58] AFFILIATION AND INACTIVE IN THE

[01:00] LAST TWO ELECTIONS AND I MENTION

[01:01] THAT SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE

[01:02] THERE'S THOSE THAT SUGGESTED

[01:03] THERE WAS A RIGHT LEANING

[01:04] POLITICAL MOTIVATION HERE, WHICH

[01:08] I THINK IS CLEARLY EASY TO

[01:10] DISPUTE.

[01:10] I WANT TO BEGIN BY ASKING YOU,

[01:15] WHERE ARE WE AND WHAT HAPPENED

[01:16] IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO?

[01:20] >> IT'S EARLY ON AND THEY'VE GOT

[01:23] A TREMENDOUS FLOOD OF

[01:24] INFORMATION AND LEARNING ABOUT

[01:26] THE MESSAGES AND ROOMMATE OR

[01:28] PARTNERS GOING TO BE A WEALTH OF

[01:30] INFORMATION TO FIND OUT, I THINK

[01:31] FIRST THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY

[01:32] PLANNING WENT INTO ALL THIS AND

[01:34] THEY'RE GOING TO BE VERY

[01:35] CONCERNED WITH MOTIVE.

[01:36] THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF

[01:37] SPECULATION ABOUT MOTIVE, WHAT

[01:39] COULD HAVE COMPELLED HIM TO

[01:41] COMMIT THIS HORRENDOUS

[01:43] ASSASSINATION.

[01:44] THE -- WE HAD SOME INSIGHTS FROM

[01:46] THE INSCRIBINGS ON THE BULLET

[01:48] CASINGS.

[01:48] ALSO SOME OF THE MESSAGES THAT

[01:50] HE SHARED, SOME OF THE THOUGHTS

[01:52] HE SHARED WITH HIS FAMILY

[01:53] MEMBERS BUT NOW AS WE'RE

[01:54] STARTING TO LEARN ABOUT THIS

[01:59] RELATIONSHIP HE MAY HAVE HAD,

[02:01] THAT ADDS FURTHER INSIGHT INTO

[02:03] THE ASSASSINATION ITSELF AND

[02:05] CHILLINGLY TO THE TIMING OF THE

[02:06] ASSASSINATION WITH THE WORDS

[02:07] THAT WERE COMING OUT OF CHARLIE

[02:09] KIRK'S MOUTH AT THE TIME THAT HE

[02:12] WAS SHOT.

[02:15] KEVIN: YEAH, ONE OF THE

[02:16] QUESTIONS AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT

[02:18] TRANSGENDER VIOLENCE.

[02:19] IS THERE A NEXUS WE CAN DRAW

[02:24] CONNECTION BETWEEN THAT AND

[02:25] ALLEGED SHOOTER WAS INVOLVED

[02:26] WITH A TRANSGENDER PERSON?

[02:31] >> I THINK IT'S EASY TO CONNECT

[02:33] THOSE DOTS.

[02:34] I MEAN, IF HE WAS INVOLVED IN A

[02:39] RELATIONSHIP, AND THAT WAS

[02:40] SOMETHING COMPELLING HIM TO HAVE

[02:42] HATEFUL FEELINGS TOWARDS KIRK,

[02:44] TO ME, THERE SEEMS TO BE

[02:47] ABSOLUTE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE

[02:48] TIMING OF THE SHOOTING ITSELF,

[02:49] AND THE FACT THAT HE'S MAKING

[02:51] IT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PUBLIC

[02:53] ASSASSINATION AND HE WANTED HIM

[02:55] TO BE SHOT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE,

[02:57] VOICING HIS FEELING ANDS LOOKS

[03:02] LIKE HE MAY HAVE WAITED TILL THE

[03:05] EXACT MOMENT THAT THE MESSAGE

[03:06] FROM KIRK'S MOUTH WAS SOMETHING

[03:08] HE WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT

[03:10] ABOUT.

[03:10] KEVIN: WE HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE

[03:12] EYE ON THIS.

[03:13] SAYING THIS QUICKLY FOR 15

[03:15] SECONDS, RYAN ROUTH, WHERE DO

[03:17] YOU IMAGINE THIS GOES FROM HERE?

[03:18] ESPECIALLY LEARNING ABOUT WHERE

[03:19] HE WAS SET UP AND HOW HE STOCKED

[03:23] AND AFFECTED THE PRESIDENT.

[03:40] >> THE PROCEEDINGS PUTTING EYE

[03:41] ON THE BALL AND THROUGHOUT THE

[03:44] TRIA
