Kash Patel Reveals DNA Evidence Links Tyler Robinson to Charlie Kirk Assassination Scene Through Discord Confession
FBI Director Kash Patel confirms DNA evidence from a screwdriver and towel-wrapped firearm positively matches the suspect in custody for Charlie Kirk's assassination. Tyler Robinson allegedly confessed to approximately 30 people in a Discord group chat hours before surrendering, stating "It was me at UVU yesterday. I'm sorry for all this." The Washington Post obtained screenshots showing Robinson's messages, including jokes about his "doppelganger" and references to getting rid of his manifesto. Despite Discord's claims they found no evidence of planning on their platform, the messages reveal conversations about avoiding McDonald's, destroying evidence, and potential FBI rewards. Meanwhile, Turning Point USA reports over 37,000 new chapter inquiries following the tragedy, as President Trump confirms multiple left-wing organizations are already under investigation.
Discord Group Chat Reveals Alleged Confession
The Washington Post published exclusive details about Tyler Robinson's alleged confession in a Discord group chat approximately two hours before his arrest. According to two people familiar with the messages and screenshots obtained by the outlet, Robinson wrote to roughly 30 people in a private Discord server: "Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. Period. I'm sorry for all this."
The 22-year-old suspect's message was sent Thursday night before officials took him into custody. A member of the group chat shared an image of the conversation with the Post, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect their privacy. Discord provided a copy of the message with the confession to authorities, according to a person familiar with the company's interaction with law enforcement.
The Doppelganger Messages and Conspiracy
Before the confession, Robinson engaged in what appeared to be jokey exchanges about resembling the FBI's person of interest photo. When one of Robinson's acquaintances pointed out his resemblance to the man in the photos released by authorities, tagging his username with "Wa" (meaning where you at) and a skull emoji, Robinson replied within a minute: "My doppelganger is trying to get me in trouble."
The messages grew increasingly disturbing. According to the New York Times, another member of the Discord group chat wrote "Tyler killed Charlie," while a different user suggested the group could turn Robinson in for the FBI reward. Robinson allegedly responded: "Only if I get a cut."
One user made reference to Luigi Mangione, the man who shot a healthcare executive, issuing Robinson a warning: "Whatever you do, don't go to a McDonald's anytime soon." Robinson reportedly responded by writing that he better also get rid of the manifesto, stating: "I better get rid of my manifesto and the exact copy of a rifle I have lying around."
In other messages, Robinson reportedly discussed the ammunition used in the fatal shooting, implying he was closely following news coverage. He even joked: "Actually, I'm actually Charlie Kirk, and I wanted to get out of politics, so I faked my death, and now I can live out my dream in Kansas."
Discord's Response and Denial
Discord initially denied that Robinson planned any aspect of the killing on their platform. A spokesperson stated: "We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and we extend our condolences to the Kirk family and everyone affected. In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord."
The company claimed the messages referencing planning details appeared to be communications between the suspect's roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting contents of a note Robinson had left elsewhere. Discord removed Robinson's account for violating their off-platform behavior policy and stated they are coordinating closely with law enforcement.
However, the messages reveal conversations that appear to show furtherance of concealing the crime, including warnings about avoiding detection and destroying evidence. The group included approximately 30 people, raising questions about whether any FBI agents or foreign intelligence operatives were monitoring the chat.
Kash Patel Confirms DNA Evidence
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed significant forensic evidence linking Robinson to the crime scene. Speaking on Fox News, Patel explained the extensive FBI response: "All resources the FBI had in search multiple air assets as soon as this shooting occurred. We were cycling in agents, evidence response technicians, hostage rescue technicians, and special operators in and out of Utah, cycling evidence back and forth on these FBI planes as soon as we could so that there was no delay."
Patel walked the entire crime scene, including the path the suspect took. He revealed: "What we learned was there was evidence, DNA evidence that could be collected and had been collected, including a screwdriver that was found on the rooftop. Also, we went over to the scene in the wooded area where the firearm was discarded and the firearm had a towel wrapped around it."
The DNA results were conclusive. Patel reported: "I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody."
The Destroyed Manifesto
Patel also addressed evidence of a written note or manifesto. When asked about whether Robinson wrote a note before the assassination attempt, Patel explained: "The written note we believe did exist and we have evidence to show what was in that note which is and I'm going to summarize the suspect wrote a note saying I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."
The note was written before the shooting and existed in the location of the suspect and partner's home. Though the note has been destroyed, Patel stated: "We have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what that note says because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI."
The Final Surrender Message
Robinson's final message to the Discord group came at 7:57 p.m. local time on the day of his arrest: "Bad news. Period. I'm surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. Thanks for all the good times and laughs. You've all been so amazing. Thank you all for everything."
No one responded to Robinson that night. The next day, one friend wrote: "Oh my gosh." That friend asked group members: "Pray for Tyler and his repentance," before turning attention to Kirk: "While Charlie Kirk's politics were not acceptable to some, I ask that we all say a prayer for him and his family during these confusing times."
CNN Confrontation With Tim Burchett
Representative Tim Burchett engaged in a heated exchange with a CNN anchor when questioned about political rhetoric and temperature. When the anchor suggested it should start from leaders including the President to bring the temperature down, Burchett fired back: "Well, what do you all do with it? You keep putting it out. If you all truly wanted this to change in the media at CNN and other places, your editorial board would say, 'We're not going to put this stuff out.' But yet, you continue to put it out and that continues to serve the base."
The anchor pushed back, claiming she was trying to create conversation and bring the temperature down. Burchett responded: "No, that's you trying to make Trump the problem. You're trying to blame him for not toning the temperature down in America."
He continued: "I'm just letting you know that you all need to look within at CNN if you want to continue this down this path because clearly your ratings show that and the conservative movement is showing that they're not watching you because of that. If you all truly had some objective reporting instead of constantly attacking conservatives and Republicans, then there would be a change, I think."
The anchor responded defensively: "But making broad brush statements about any group of people or vast generalizations when you are not involved in any internal discussions with in this network or any other network is also not moving the ball forward in a positive way."
Trump Announces Investigations Already Underway
President Trump addressed the Charlie Kirk investigation during a press gaggle, confirming action against left-wing organizations. When asked about investigating organizations on the left, Trump stated: "Well, the problem is on the left. You look at the problem. The problem is on the left. It's not on the right like some people like to say on the right. And when you look at the agitators, you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that's the left. That's not the right."
When pressed about plans to investigate, Trump revealed: "We'll see. We'll be announcing. They're already under investigation. A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left. Already under investigation."
Trump also confirmed the administration is revoking visas of foreigners who celebrated Charlie's death: "No, we are looking at names. We don't like that. That's not right. We wouldn't celebrate if something happened on their side and we don't. These are sick people. These are really deranged people."
Massive Response From Americans Wanting to Get Involved
Turning Point USA reported an overwhelming response from Americans wanting to honor Charlie Kirk's legacy. A TPUSA spokesman revealed: "At this point, we're over 37,000 inquiries just through our website tpusa.com saying, 'I want to get involved and start a chapter.'"
To put that number in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 college chapters, 1,200 high school chapters, and about 3,500 total chapters. The 37,000 inquiries represent an enormous surge of interest.
The spokesman explained what made Charlie's voice so powerful: "Two people could say the same thing, and for some reason, Charlie's would go further. And it's because there was there's something in it, the integrity of who he was and what he believed and what he stood for and his faith in Jesus was so powerful that it would just echo and spread. And that's what made his voice so powerful."
TPUSA has been inundated with offers of help from people across the country: "We've been just inundated with people saying, 'Hey, I run this kind of company. Can I help? It's totally free. Hey, I do this. Can this be helpful to you?' And then the students, the students are devastated. We're getting so many of those testimonials and they want to see Charlie's legacy live on through Turning Point USA."
The response suggests a spiritual awakening among Americans who are reacting to the evil of celebrating murder by seeking out goodness. Many report attending church for the first time in years, moved by the tragedy to reconnect with faith and community.
Video Transcript
The group included about 30 people
according to the person who provided the
screenshots. And who's in there? Are
there any FBI agents in there or foreign
intelligence agents in there? Huh?
>> And what we learned was there was
evidence, DNA evidence that could be
collected and had been collected,
including a screwdriver that was found
on the rooftop. broad brush statements
about any group of people or vast
generalizations when you are not
involved in any internal discussions
with in this network or any other
network is also not moving the ball
forward in a positive.
>> Oh damn, she's mad at you.
>> It was me is apparently the message that
the Charlie Kirk assassin shared with
his group chat in a Discord server.
Washington Post has the exclusive on it
and they are referencing a couple of
different sources here, but a lot of the
media is piggybacking off of this. And
it's very interesting because Discord,
which is a bastion of lefty goons in
many instances, we got cancelled off of
Discord cuz they said we were harmful
and dangerous cuz we had questions about
the 2020 election, which was absolutely
rigged. So, we got thrown off of there.
They said we were all harmful and
dangerous and apparently they allow an
assassin to just have a group text in
there. So they denied this. Actually the
People magazine got a quote from them
and so we'll go through this. They said
they deleted his account. Basically we
removed his account from the public
internet in violation of our policies.
So what did they nuke is a big question.
What does Discord know? Why did they
deny this and what are they hiding?
Hopefully we get to the bottom of it. We
got clips. We've got Trump. We've got
Cash. We've got Dan all coming up
explaining what they're seeing from
their perspective as well. But here's
the exclusive. It was me. suspect in the
Charlie Kirk shooting appeared to
confess in the Discord chat saying, "I'm
sorry for all of this." Re a message
from the suspect's account. According to
two people familiar with the message and
the screenshots obtained by the post,
which I wish they'd publish, were much
better, bigger fans of screenshots
rather than a regurgitated message. Can
you just put them in here? No, they
never do that. So, here they write, "The
22-year-old suspect appears to have
confessed to friends in an online chat
shortly before turning himself in.
According to two people familiar with
the chat and screenshots that they got,
he said, quote, "Hey guys, I have bad
news for you all," said a message from
an online account belonging to Tyler
Robinson murderer on the online platform
Discord. It was me at UVU yesterday.
Period. I'm sorry for all this. The
message was sent Thursday night about 2
hours before officials said Robinson was
taken into custody, which is
interesting. So like dad and the pastor
and the marshall, they're all there and
he's still kind of just texting his
Discord like, "Oh man, I'm going to
jail." A member of the group chat shared
an image of the conversation with the
post and confirmed, "Yeah, it came from
Robinson's account." The person spoke on
the condition of anonymity to protect
their privacy. They didn't want to get
harassed. Discord provided a copy of the
message with a confession to authorities
according to a person familiar with the
company's interaction with law
enforcement. See, that's interesting
because they denied this. And let's
pause and just go over there. So, this
was an article from yesterday and they
said from people that apparently he
exchanged jokey messages also on
Discord. Okay. So, like the messages
have been kind of getting worse. It's
like, "Oh, there was a conversation
about him being a doppelganger. Oh, my
doppelganger looks just like me." Cuz
somebody said, "Hey, where you at?" And
he said, "I don't know. My doppelganger
is trying to get me in trouble." And it
was a picture of him flying around cuz
that's what the FBI put out. So, the
messages were getting, you know, it's
kind of doppelganger. Then it turns into
as we're seeing now a confession. But
this was a story about the jokey
messages and Discord was asked about
this and they responded and this is I
guess who they talked to as people. But
this was the background before we even
got to this confession post. They said
messages also sent by Kirk's killer
including a joke about the doppelganger
happened. He was arrested 33 hours. We
know Charlie was shot and killed after
seeing the photos. One of Robinson's
acquaintances pointed out that his
resemblance to the man on Discord. He
says, "Uh-oh, kind of look like him."
The unidentified acquaintance, who is
this, sent the images in the group chat
around 100 p.m. local time, tagging
Robinson's username and writing, "Wa,"
meaning where you at, with a skull
emoji, seemingly nodding to his
resemblance as the person of interest.
So, you look a lot like that photo that
the FBI just released, "Where you at?"
Within a minute, Robinson, the shooter,
had replied, alleged shooter, saying
that doppelganger, right? That's a
person who looks exactly like you. It's
like your twin. My doppelganger is
trying to get me in trouble. In other
messages obtained by the outlet, another
member of the Discord group chat wrote,
"Tyler killed Charlie," another member.
Okay, these are all co-conspirators.
While a different user suggested that
the group could turn in Robinson for the
FBI reward, suspect Robinson said, "Only
if I get a cut." One user also made
reference to Luigi Manion, the guy who
shot the healthcare worker in the back
that the Democrats, including Taylor
Loren, salivated over. Like, he's so
dreamy. Look at his photos. According to
the Times, the Discord user issued
Robinson the following warning.
seemingly ingest. He says, "Whatever you
do, don't go to a McDonald's anytime
soon." Right? That's action, conspiracy,
and furtherance of the offense, keeping
him concealed from law enforcement.
Indeed him. Suspect reportedly responded
by writing that he better also get rid
of the manifesto. And he said, "I better
get rid of my manifesto and the exact
copy of a rifle I have lying around."
And another user suggested that Trump
would send the National Guard to come in
here. Robinson said, "In a red state?"
Nah, clearly the shooter was from
California is what Robinson said. So,
lots of this conversation happening on
Discord. In other messages obtained by
the Times, Robinson reportedly sent
messages about the ammunition used in
the fatal shooting, implying that he was
closely following the news about the
killing. It was later revealed that the
inscriptions on the bullet did not
reference transgender issues. I'm not so
sure that's right there, article bucko
person. I heard the ammo had something
about trans stuff on it, someone said.
But they aren't releasing photos or
exact quotes, the suspect said at one
point. Minutes later, he seemingly
joked. He said, "Actually, I'm actually
Charlie Kirk, and I wanted to get out of
politics, so I faked my death, and now I
can live out my dream in Kansas." Is
what he was joking. After murdering
somebody, allegedly Robinson was
arrested 10 p.m. local time. The arrest
came just hours after the doppelganger
messages and the replies were sent. They
eventually sent shock waves through the
same Discord group chat, so they go,
"Holy crap, it was him." Or they knew.
According to the outlet, users in the
chat had a difficult time believing that
their fellow member was responsible for
the killing. Messages sent after his
arrest read, "I truly cannot distinguish
if this is for real and our governor
wants to give him the death penalty,
dude." Well, yeah, cuz he murdered
somebody. Says, "In the wake of an
unearthed correspondence, a spokesperson
for Discord shared a statement saying
that while the messages are real, they
wrote this." There is no evidence that
Robinson planned any aspect of the
killing on the platform. So, planned,
all right, any aspect of the killing.
So, they're narrowing. Were you guys
involved in this? No, he didn't plan it
like creating a project chat. It's like,
"All right, who wants to help me with
this?" Okay, he didn't do that. They
said, here's their quote. We are deeply
saddened by this tragedy and we extend
our condolences to the Kirk family and
everyone affected. In the course of our
investigation, says Discord, we
identified a Discord account associated
with the suspect, but have found no
evidence that the suspect planned this
incident or promoted violence on
Discord. They think right there they
just kind of work. I mean, they're
saying like, "Don't get caught, right?
Like, don't get caught after you
murdered him. Get rid of your
manifesto." Joke, joke, joke. Don't go
to McDonald's. Joke, joke, joke. The
messages reference the recent reporting
about planning details do not appear to
be Discord messages is what they say. So
the suspect, he didn't plan or promote
the violence on our platform. It looks
like another platform. These were
communications between the suspect's
roommate and a friend after the shooting
where the roommate was recounting the
contents of a note that Tyler Robinson
had left elsewhere. So they're just kind
of temporally limiting it. We got the
conversations after the shooting
happened, but we weren't responsible for
it at all up until that moment. They
wrote this. Now this is curious. We have
removed the suspect's account for
violating our offplatform behavior
policy. I wonder what it says like not
assassinate people in America. We
strongly condemn violence of any kind,
including political violence, and we
will continue to coordinate closely with
law enforcement. Yeah. So, Washington
Post has more. Okay. So, like these
messages are continuing to get worse and
then he finally like confesses. So,
here's what they say. Discord provided a
copy of the message with the confession
to authorities again after the fact. So,
maybe they're not lying exactly. They're
just being kind of sneaky about it. The
person spoke on condition of anonymity.
again, not authorized to talk about it.
The message was sent from Robinson's
account to a small private group of
online friends. Who were they? Discord
is working closely with the FBI and
local authorities. Now, previously,
Discord had said, "Well, there's no
evidence about any of this." The Utah
County Sheriff's Office referred the
post to the Utah DPS. Spokespeople for
DPS as well as FBI and others should not
respond to requests for comments on
this. Robinson was arrested last week,
33-hour manhunt, shot and killed
allegedly Charlie Kirk. Spencer Cox, the
governor over the weekend, said that,
"Yeah, it's leftist ideology." and he
became more political in recent years.
The Discord conversation shared with the
post shows members of the group chat
reacting before the news broke that he
was involved. Allegedly, the group
included about 30 people according to
the person who provided the screenshots.
And who's in there? Are there any FBI
agents in there or foreign intelligence
agents in there? Huh? Charlie Kirk got
shot. One friend wrote Wednesday
afternoon. According to an image of the
messages, someone says, I just saw the
video. Holy crap. Another user wrote
about an hour and a half later saying of
Kirk, "Bro didn't deserve to go out like
that." Sad. Yeah, an understatement.
Only response from Robinson's account
came the next day with a message that
came in and said, "Bad news. Period." He
explained this. I'm surrendering through
a sheriff friend in a few moments.
Posted at 7:57 local time. Thanks for
all the good times and laughs. You've
all been so amazing. Thank you all for
everything. For what? What is everything
exactly? And why have they been so
amazing? It's just a little jokey group.
Interesting. Now, Robinson was then
taken into custody that night. No one
responded to Robinson that night.
Everybody's like, "Holy crap, I'm going
to jail. Everybody's deleting everything
they possibly can." Okay, all 29 of the
people in the group because there was
the one, you know, probably CIA dude in
there. But the next day, they're all
shredding their documents. No one
responded. Then one friend wrote, he
says, "Oh my gosh." The friend asked the
group members, he said, "Pray for Tyler
and his repentance." And then turned to
Kirk. This friend said, "While Charlie
Kirk's politics were not acceptable to
some, I ask that we all say a prayer for
him and his family during these
confusing times." That's a good person
responding in the assassin chat. This
wasn't a good thing. So, and that's like
a spiritual person. Pray for Tyler. It's
like, oh wow. I got to say that was not
my first instinct, but I could do better
in that arena. The New York Times
reported on a conversation in a
different Discord chat group earlier the
same day. In that conversation, Robinson
also joked about being a doppelganger,
right? So, these messages are just
continuing to come out. was trying to
get him in trouble and the friends say
we didn't actually believe it was him.
And of course, you have to ask the
question, right? I think the appropriate
question to ask is this guy the actual
shooter? We're going to come up with
more. There's now DNA evidence they say
that ties him to the scene. But, you
know, without that, right, there's
always the question, is he just somebody
who wants attention? Is he just trying
to like, you know, get the, you know,
love and accolades from this group chat
to try to be somebody? He's like, yeah,
I say I did it. And then he didn't
actually do it. Somebody else did it. I
think it's a perfectly appropriate
question to ask and then the evidence
will answer it for us. And I think we're
going to see that because Cash Patel is
now explaining there's DNA evidence. He
says, "I can report today that the DNA
from the towel that was wrapped around
the firearm and the DNA on the
screwdriver are positively processed for
the suspect in custody." So, here is
Cash Patel explaining more about this on
with Fox.
>> All resources the FBI had in search
multiple air assets as soon as this
shooting occurred. We were cycling in
agents, evidence response technicians,
hostage rescue technicians, and special
operators in and out of Utah, cycling
evidence back and forth on these FBI
planes as soon as we could so that there
was no delay. And what we did once I got
there along with the deputy on the
ground around 5:00 p.m. local on
September 11th was walk the entire crime
scene, including the foots suspect
himself took. And what we learned was
there was evidence, DNA evidence that
could be collected and had been
collected, including a screwdriver that
was found on the rooftop. Also, we went
over to the scene in the wooded area
where the firearm was discarded and the
firearm had a towel wrapped around it.
It's important. I'll get back to that
later. I even walked into the wooded
area in the ravine. So, I knew from my
investigative experience what I could
bring to the table and what decisions I
needed to make. And having the support
of President Trump and the full support
of the White House was what we needed
for these resources to happen. And I can
report today that the DNA hits from the
towel that was wrapped around the
firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver
are positively processed for the suspect
in custody.
>> All right, so interesting. Cash Patel
has more. Not only did he write into
that Discord group, but apparently he
had kind of a manifesto or something
along those lines. And here is what Cash
said in a different part of that
interview.
>> Written note was Did he write a written
note before the assassination attempt?
That's what the governor said yesterday.
And what did that say? if you could.
>> So, what I'm able to say is I addressed
it partially earlier is that the written
note we believe what did exist and we
have evidence to show what was in that
note which is and I'm going to summarize
the suspect wrote a note saying I have
the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk
and I'm going to take it. That note was
written before the shooting. Evidence of
existence we now have learned existed
before the shooting was in the location
in the suspect and partner's home. But
we have since learned that the note,
even though it has been destroyed, we
have found forensic evidence of the note
and we have confirmed what that note
says because of our aggressive interview
posture at the FBI.
>> Okay. So, I guess there's a note and the
note says he didn't like Charlie, but I
guess it's kind of deleted, but not
really deleted. So, I don't know if he
was, you know, typing it, putting it in
the trash recycle bin, and then emptying
the recycle bin, and they just were able
to unddelete it, or whether it was like
a Gmail draft or something, and you're
like, I don't like this. Or like you're
going to write this tweet, you're going
to like write a disgusting tweet about
how much you love murder and then you
wake up and you realize, oh, I'm not a
bad person. And so, you don't, you know,
post that. Is it in your drafts or even
if you delete the draft, is it in the
cache somewhere? Okay, what did they
find? I don't know. But apparently,
there's a note, but we can't really know
what's in it. and it may be deleted and
gone, but they may know it exists
because of their forensic evidence and
their interviews. But we got a lot of
reaction here from Tim Berchett and Dan
Bonino and others. And Dan is saying
supporting cash that we are going to
look into this man. No stone will be
left unturned. Don't even think about
it.
>> Is there any connection at all between
the person who was asking the question
about mass shooters and trans killers or
was that just a stunning coincidence
when that single shot was fired?
>> Well, we're investigating that. I don't
want to say conclusively right now if
there was a connection or not. Sometimes
he's I mean Charlie was known to speak
out about these issues. He was a
powerful voice. It's not terribly
uncommon for him to get questions like
that. However, we are looking into that
any potential connection here. So, we're
going to scrub.
>> I'm not drawing conclusions from your
answer, but you're saying it's a
possibility. Is that what I hear you
saying?
>> We're looking into everything, Bill.
There's not going to be a stone left
unturned if there was anyone involved
who ate a betetted. I can't say that in
strong enough terms. Every single FBI
asset on this team is being applied and
used in this investigation.
>> All right, good. We hope so. This was
Tim Berchett lacing into because she
started asking him questions and Tim
Berchett wasn't taking too kindly to
these accusations.
>> I've seen from many saying that it
should be expected to start from the
leaders. It should be expected to start
from a president of the United States to
move forward and bring that temperature
down. If he is not going to, what do you
do with it? What do you do about it?
>> Well, what do you all do with it? You
keep putting it out. If you all truly
wanted this to change in the media at
CNN and other places, your editorial
board would say, "We're not going to put
this stuff out." But yet, you continue
to put it out and that continues to
serve the base. Man, we had a hearing
last week on UFOs.
>> I'm creating a conversation.
I take pride in the fact that we do
bring the temperature down on this
program and I'm definitely make
redoubling efforts to do that now by
playing the words of the president in
order to bring about conversation with
an elected member of Congress. That's
not trying to stir that's trying to have
conversation and that's trying to ask
you what you thought about it rather
than have you come back and attack me
about it.
>> No, that's you trying to make Trump the
problem. You're trying to blame him for
not toning the temperature down in
America. Okay. Actually, for a long
time, they were not trying to have a
conversation at all. You know who was
Charlie Kirk.
>> Well, ma'am, I'm not attacking you. I'm
just letting you know that you all need
to look within at CNN if you want to
continue this down this path because
clearly your ratings show that and the
conservative movement is showing that
that they're not watching you because of
that. If you all truly had some
objective reporting instead of
constantly attacking conservatives and
Republicans, then there would be a
change, I think. But there's not going
to be a change. You all don't want to
change down deep. Maybe you do, ma'am,
but I dare s say that the vast majority
of your colleagues do not. They do not
come from the conservative spectrum.
They see as just as a Republican type
situation, it's absolutely not. You're
seeing as much or more on the left than
you are from the right. And this is just
down that same road once again. And it
proves my point that this will never
change.
>> Yeah. But making broad brush statements
about any group of people or vast
generalizations when you are not
involved in any internal discussions
with in this network or any other
network is also not moving the ball
forward in a positive
>> Oh, Tim, she's mad at you. Oh, you got
her, man. You can tell, man. That's like
angry ex-wife right there.
>> In a positive way. Congressman, thank
you for your time.
>> Well, you don't sit in our meetings
there, Tim. And so, we actually have
separate conversations. So you don't
you're not a privy to him. We see. Okay.
We saw who Jake Tapper brought in.
Charlie's body was still warm and they
brought on Andy McCabe. Okay. Like one
of the most dishonest people ever who
Charlie would have railed against and
probably did. But it's CNN. All right.
So don't sit there and lecture us. We
know who you are. You guys have been
screeching and endorsing and propping up
this infrastructure for a generation
now. And now you're going to do your
little look down look down your glasses
at us. She's not wearing glasses
actually, which is different. Most
people over there are. Anyways, that's
the president. Shout out to Timber Chat
for laying it on. He got her. I don't
know where he poked her, man. But she
was not happy with that. So here is the
president. Trump was out doing that
little press gaggle and he was talking
about what's coming next in the Charlie
Kirk investigation.
>> When we attack people, we have to be
careful.
>> You mentioned Charlie Kirk, sir. What um
uh organizations on the left anticipate
investigating talking about?
>> Well, the problem is on the left. You
look at the problem. The problem is on
the left. It's not on the right like
some people like to say on the right.
And when you look at the agitators, you
look at the scum that speaks so badly of
our country, the American flag burnings
all over the place, that's the left.
That's not the right.
>> You plan on investigating.
>> We'll see. We'll be announcing. They're
already under investigation. A lot of
the people that you would traditionally
say are on the left.
>> They're already under invest.
>> Already under investigation.
>> You have to start revoking the visas of
the foreigners who have celebrated
Charlie's death.
>> No, we are looking at names. We don't
like that. That's not right. We wouldn't
celebrate if something happened on their
side and we don't. These are sick
people. These are really deranged
people.
>> Any progress on the Federation?
>> Well, other than I don't like him.
>> No, but you are.
>> He's in Well, he's incompetent. Yeah,
they are revoking visas now. Rightfully
so. Now, in the aftermath of all of
this, I wanted to share this number with
you. So, you could see just how massive
this response is. Okay. So, as much
disgustingness that is out there on the
other side just festering as they run
around their stinky gutters, we see that
there is a real spiritual awakening. And
we were talking in our member stream
this morning. People say, "Thank the
first time I've been to church in a long
time." And when you start to see evil
rising all around you and people
celebrating murder, there's a reaction
to that and people can feel the goodness
when they start looking for it. And I
think we're having a little bit of an
awakening happening right now. And we
certainly are having a lot of form
submissions over to TPUSA.
>> At this point, we're over 37,000
inquiries just through our website
tpusa.com saying, "I want to get
involved and start a chapter." And to
put that in perspective, right now we
have 900 college chapters, official
college chapters, and,200 high school
chapters. And about 3,500 total, so
37,000 is enormous. And so it has
galvanized the country because I think
people are sending these clips around.
And Charlie spoke from a place of such
integrity and just of what he believed
and what he stood for that it just hits
so hard. And I've said that to other
people. I said, you know, two people
could say the same thing, Pamela. And
for some reason, Charlie's would go
further. And it's because there was
there's something in it, the integrity
of who he was and what he believed and
what he stood for and his faith in Jesus
was so powerful that it would just echo
and spread. And that's what made his
voice so powerful. And you're seeing
that now with how people are so moved by
it that they just can't do anything but
try and get involved in some way. And
we've been just inundated with people
saying, "Hey, I run this kind of
company. Can I help? It's totally free.
Hey, I do this. Can this be helpful to
you?" And then the students, the
students are devastated. We're getting
so many of those testimonials and they
want to see Charlie's legacy live on
through Turning Point USA.
>> Awesome. So, the outpouring will
continue and shout out to Vigilant Fox
for clipping that over for us. But that
is from TPUSA themselves spokesman over
there saying they are being flooded and
that is exactly what we want to see. So,
we're going to keep our eye on this.
Obviously, I think more Discord messages
will come out. It would be nice if the
Washington Post would publish them, but
I'm sure other news agencies will
confirm and then charges will come down
the pike and we'll make sure we see
exactly what they are as we continue to
cover this tragedy.
