Zach Costello Questions FBI's Charlie Kirk Assassination Narrative After Candace Owens Reveals Eyewitness Statement Contradicting Official Story

[00:00] Candace Owens in a stunning announcement

[00:02] said that she was able to contact, speak

[00:04] with, and get a statement from the

[00:06] eyewitness who took this video of the

[00:09] Charlie Kirk assassin right before he

[00:11] took the shot. Candace verified the

[00:13] video's metadata and its timestamp to

[00:16] the minute right before Charlie was

[00:19] shot. His statement contradicts what the

[00:21] FBI has told us and the theory that

[00:24] Charlie was shot from behind. I wanted

[00:27] to get this video out as soon as

[00:28] possible though because this lines up

[00:31] with all of the intel that I have

[00:33] received as well. Thanks to all of you

[00:36] who have reached out and submitted tips,

[00:38] especially you military members,

[00:40] hunters, and sniper rifle builders. You

[00:43] know who you are. A bunch have come in

[00:45] over the past 48 hours, but there was a

[00:48] common theme throughout many of the

[00:51] comments that I receive that I began to

[00:53] notice, and I dismissed them until I saw

[00:56] what Candace published about the

[00:58] eyewitness statement. It is the gun and

[01:00] now Tyler Robinson that are now in

[01:03] question. Let's get into it. I'm Zach

[01:05] Costello.

[01:08] Political commentator and journalist

[01:09] Steven Gardner did a walkthrough of the

[01:11] UVU campus and retraced the steps that

[01:14] the FBI has told us that Tyler Robinson

[01:17] allegedly took to get on the roof. He

[01:19] walked up this stairwell, which you can

[01:22] see the camera right there. This gave us

[01:23] the initial camera screenshots that the

[01:25] FBI released. And he then describes the

[01:28] eyewitness view right here. Watch. So, a

[01:32] student comes in late for the Charlie

[01:33] Kirk event and he zooms in right here

[01:36] past the Spark Automotive over to the

[01:39] Los or the Losi Center and he sees

[01:42] somebody run across the roof. It looks

[01:44] like Spark Automotive, but there's

[01:46] actually a big green belt and a sidewalk

[01:48] in between the two buildings. So, he is

[01:50] on the Los building. Uh, and as that

[01:53] student was coming in, he zooms way in

[01:55] and says, "Hey, there's somebody laying

[01:56] there on that building." Now, here is

[01:59] that eyewitness video that he's

[02:00] referring to.

[02:01] >> Right up.

[02:02] >> Yeah. You think he'd already be in

[02:04] place?

[02:05] >> You would think that. So, there's

[02:07] somebody on the roof right there.

[02:09] >> Just saying.

[02:11] >> He just ran from uh

[02:13] >> over Where's my finger? Who from over

[02:16] there? Ran in.

[02:18] >> Now, he's right there. Just saying.

[02:21] >> Okay. Now, Candace Owens tracked down

[02:24] this individual. Listen here as she

[02:26] describes what he told her about what

[02:29] happened and then the statement that he

[02:31] made in writing to her about what he

[02:33] saw. This aligns with what many of you

[02:36] are telling me via the tip line. I had a

[02:39] conversation with that individual after

[02:40] all this running around. Hence the

[02:42] reason these episodes take so long to

[02:43] put together because you're calling

[02:45] people, you're waiting for responses.

[02:47] and what he said to me completely

[02:51] betrays the narrative of what the FBI

[02:54] has put out. I am working to quadruple

[02:58] confirm exactly who this individual is.

[03:01] Uh but he was very much um and maybe

[03:05] this is a poor way of saying it a

[03:07] straight shooter said yes you know I

[03:10] have training I um and I don't want to

[03:13] give too many identifying details here

[03:14] but this person himself has a lot of

[03:17] experience with guns and knows guns and

[03:21] um you know helps to train people in

[03:24] that sort of a capacity and said that

[03:27] they observed that individual the FBI

[03:29] saying that the shooter dropped onto the

[03:31] roof at 12:15. Didn't make sense to him.

[03:33] He said earliest it was 12:22 that the

[03:36] individual ran across, set up, took the

[03:39] shots, and I said, "Well, you must have

[03:40] been there." Because he then sends me um

[03:43] the I I wanted to see all of the

[03:45] metadata of when he took that footage.

[03:48] And it the metadata begins at 12:22

[03:52] and goes into 12:23, the very minute

[03:54] that Charlie gets shot. And he says,

[03:56] "Yeah, I saw the shot. I had just

[03:59] stopped recording about 20 seconds

[04:01] before the shot rang out. And he said

[04:04] that he told them a description of what

[04:08] the shooter looked like and it was not

[04:10] the description that the entire world

[04:13] received less than 24 hours later of

[04:15] this person, Tyler Robinson, wearing

[04:17] jeans. I said, "Was he wearing jeans?"

[04:19] He said, "No, actually uh this person

[04:23] was dressed in tactical gear and he was

[04:25] wearing a face mask." And he said,

[04:28] according to him, like I said, he has a

[04:29] lot of experience with guns, that this

[04:32] person looked to him like a foreign

[04:35] agent. I don't I don't know if he's

[04:36] wearing all black how he got that, but

[04:38] he said there's no he was very certain

[04:40] that this person was skilled, knew

[04:44] exactly what he was doing, and was

[04:45] highly trained, like a highly trained

[04:47] assassin, so to speak. Okay. He then

[04:49] says something else. As soon as George

[04:52] Zin got arrested and that started

[04:53] circulating, he ran to someone on campus

[04:55] and said, "This is the wrong person. I

[04:57] observed this person with my eyes. You

[04:59] have the complete wrong description. The

[05:01] person you're looking for is wearing

[05:02] tactical gear and is obviously young

[05:05] because I watched him sprint back after

[05:06] taking the shot. I saw this with my own

[05:08] two eyes." And for whatever reason, that

[05:11] never made its way out that we can see

[05:13] of a description of a person wearing

[05:15] tactical gear. um were kind of left with

[05:17] this idea that he was wearing the now

[05:20] infamous um veterans shirt with the

[05:23] American flag on it and some jeans. So,

[05:25] he also said something that we had not

[05:28] heard, which is that he knows guns and

[05:32] the gun that the FBI found was not the

[05:35] gun that he saw. That the gun that he

[05:37] saw was smaller. And I'm going to read

[05:40] you directly a text message that he sent

[05:42] me again protecting his identity. Uh he

[05:46] said, "Watching the video of the impact,

[05:48] hearing the sharp crack instead of a big

[05:51] hunting rifles boom and seeing what

[05:54] looked like a shorter rifle platform,

[05:57] albeit with the absence of the shape of

[05:59] a standard 30 round magazine. The

[06:02] assassin may have used a 10 or 20 round

[06:05] magazine only expecting to shoot once or

[06:07] twice. I would guess that he was shot

[06:10] with a Hornady VMAX or similar

[06:13] lightweight 223 bullet designed for very

[06:16] rapid expansion. Of course, I don't have

[06:19] access to any autopsy reports like you

[06:21] might, but if they found small shards of

[06:24] copper rather than one large copper

[06:26] coated lead slug, that's the gun and

[06:30] bullet I would expect was used.

[06:32] >> First and foremost, this eyewitness

[06:34] claims to have seen the shot. He saw it

[06:36] fired. This means Charlie was shot from

[06:38] the front and not the rear. As many of

[06:40] you all have said who are very familiar

[06:42] with guns, this front shot, given the

[06:45] sound of the crack and lack of exit

[06:47] wound, must have fired a 223 or 22

[06:51] caliber bullet. When I saw his

[06:53] statement, I couldn't believe it because

[06:55] so many of you have been saying the

[06:57] exact same thing. You've also said just

[07:00] about unanimously that the 3006 rifle

[07:03] would have sounded different and left a

[07:06] massive exit wound. Now, what does this

[07:08] mean? I don't like how Candace or this

[07:11] guy used the term foreign agent. I think

[07:12] that's a big leap. However, take a look

[07:15] at this. Because this calls the rifle

[07:17] that the FBI recovered with the

[07:19] engravings and Tyler Robinson as the

[07:22] actual shooter into question. Given this

[07:24] and what I'm about to show you, I have

[07:26] high levels of doubt that Tyler Robinson

[07:29] is the actual shooter. Consistent with

[07:32] the eyewitness report, the shooter runs

[07:34] across the roof. And we have this

[07:36] footage of him doing that and then

[07:38] jumping down. He's holding something in

[07:40] his hand, and it would align that this

[07:42] is a smaller gun than the one that

[07:44] belongs to Robinson. He is wearing dark

[07:47] clothes. He has the backpack on, so

[07:50] laying down in the prone position on the

[07:51] roof could certainly make it look like

[07:53] he was wearing tactical gear. But it's

[07:56] these images here that are just not

[07:59] lining up for me. We were given the

[08:01] photos of the individual coming up the

[08:04] stairwell by the FBI. It would be nice

[08:07] to see that video so we can compare

[08:08] Tyler Robinson, his face and mannerisms

[08:12] to this police body cam footage that I

[08:15] have now spent hours looking at and

[08:17] analyzing. I was trying to see Tyler

[08:20] Robinson from different angles from the

[08:22] side and the back to see if I could

[08:25] match the profile that was given to us.

[08:28] Does this person look like this person?

[08:32] I put these together for you so that we

[08:34] could compare the side by sides. It's

[08:36] the lips and the chin structure that I

[08:39] just cannot get past. Look, I'm a

[08:42] reasonable person. I really feel that

[08:43] way. But I just feel like this is not

[08:46] the same person. Maybe I've been looking

[08:48] at this for too long. Let me know what

[08:50] you guys think. But if the gun is in

[08:53] question, Robinson is in question. And

[08:55] that has very important implications.

[08:57] That could mean could that the whole

[09:00] transgender engravings and anti-fascist

[09:02] narrative isn't true. That could be a

[09:06] distraction from what? I don't know. But

[09:09] I've seen others say that questioning

[09:11] these things is divisive and it stains

[09:14] the memory of Charlie. Like Charlie said

[09:16] about Trump's assassination attempt, he

[09:19] wanted to get to the bottom of every

[09:21] single little detail. I think he'd want

[09:24] the same here if it were anyone else

[09:26] that this happened to. You know what's

[09:27] divisive? The narrative that left-wing

[09:30] rhetoric incited a violent trans

[09:32] terrorist to assassinate a conservative

[09:35] leader. What if Tyler Robinson's gun

[09:37] wasn't actually the gun used and he

[09:40] didn't take the shot? The conspiracies

[09:43] that so many say shouldn't be talked

[09:46] about are simply trying to tie up loose

[09:48] ends and get questions answered that

[09:51] haven't been. Does honoring Charlie's

[09:53] legacy mean being a sheep who believes

[09:56] everything the government tells us? No,

[09:59] thank you. How has that worked out the

[10:01] past 5 years? I'm Zach Costello.
