Speaker Time Text
cory booker
Mr. Patel, in just eight months, you have assaulted the institutional integrity of the FBI.
But I know FBI field agents.
I've worked with them in Newark.
No matter how truly bad you are, you can't undermine the legacy of agents who fight every day to keep us safe, but you can tarnish the integrity of the agency and undermine the agency's capacity.
I believe you're failing failing as a leader, and that your failure does have serious implications for the safety and security of Americans and our families.
We're more vulnerable to domestic and foreign attack because of your failures of leadership.
I don't think you're fit to have the Bureau.
But here's the thing, Mr. Patel.
I think you're not going to be around long.
I think this might be your last oversight hearing.
Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you.
He will cut you loose.
This may be the last time I have a hearing with you because I don't think you're long for your job.
But I'm going to tell you this.
I pray for you.
I pray for you that you can step up and defend your oath, defend the Constitution, and do a much better job of defending this country.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
kash patel
Do you want to say that rant of false information does not bring this country together?
If you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time, not yours.
unidentified
My God.
cory booker
My God.
If you want to talk about biding this country, it is.
unidentified
I follow you on your social media posts that tears to address your unified.
Oh, you're not going to be able to try all the country.
cory booker
For what you're the time locking over this committee.
Sir, you don't tell me my time is over.
unidentified
The people of Jersey tell me what my time is.
You can't lecture me on the city.
kash patel
My time's over.
unidentified
You may be the target.
I'm not going to end it, but I am not afraid of you.
thom tillis
Mr. Chairman.
cory booker
I'm not afraid of you.
thom tillis
Mr. Chairman, point of order.
jeff gray
So UVU surveillance.
So at the moment of the shot, a UVU police officer was watching the crowd from an elevated vantage point.
As soon as he heard the shot, he began to scan the area for threats, believing the shot came from a rifle because of its sound.
He looked for potential sniper positions.
He noted a roof area approximately 160 yards away from Mr. Kart Kirk as a potential shooting position and rushed there to look for evidence.
The suspected shooting position is adjacent to an open, publicly accessible walkway.
To access the suspected location, a person must climb over a railing and then drop to the roof, only slightly below.
The UV officer climbed over the railing and down onto the roof.
He then walked to the suspected.
steve bannon
We have an amazing cold open.
It's a war room here at five o'clock afternoon show.
We're gonna go, it's a arraignment right now.
Let's go live and we'll continue with the cold open after the arraignment of the uh accused assassin.
tony graf
State of Utah versus Tyler James Robinson.
Could you state your name?
unidentified
Tyler James Robinson.
tony graf
Thank you for being here, Mr. Robinson.
I'm Judge Graff.
Mr. Scortis.
unidentified
Good afternoon, Your Honor.
Uh, you're probably already aware of my presence or why I'm here, but if not, I am not entering appearance.
I'm not counseling this case.
I'm working with the county to get counsel uh assigned, but we need you to allow for the appointment of counsel.
tony graf
Thank you, Mr. Scortis.
Uh it is well, I want to go through the uh qualifications for indigency, but that is my intent, Mr. Scortis.
unidentified
Very well.
tony graf
And I thank you for being here.
So, Mr. Robinson, you have a right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one, the court can appoint an attorney to represent you.
I have reviewed your declaration of financial status and find that you are indigent.
I'm provisionally provisionally appointing a rule A qualified attorney to represent you on your Case, Mr. Robinson.
Along with their filing of their appearance of counsel, the assigned attorneys must file declarations with the court that outline their qualifications under Rule 8 and Rule 8C.
I'm sorry, under Rule 8B and Rule 8C for counsel appointment in a case where death may be a sentencing option.
I'm ordering that those declarations be filed prior to the next hearing date, which is set for September 29th at 10 a.m.
Mr. Robinson, I also wish to inform you of your right against self-incrimination.
Anything that you say in court today could be used against you, and we want to protect your constitutional rights.
Mr. Robinson, at this time, you will remain in custody without bail.
Mr. Scortis, is there any other points set you wish to address?
unidentified
No, thank you very much, Your Honor.
tony graf
Turning to the state.
chad grunander
Yes, Your Honor, Chad Grunander for the state.
I'm also joined and they're listed as attendees, Ryan McBride, Lauren Hunt, David Sturgil, and Chris Ballard.
We are the trial team on this case.
I do have a few points I'd like to bring up with the honor with your honor.
We have filed a pretrial protective order on behalf of Erica Kirk.
We would ask the court to review that.
It should be in your cue, Your Honor, and sign that.
tony graf
Thank you.
I have reviewed the pretrial protective order and will be grant issuing this free trial protective order in favor of Erica Kirk.
Is there any other business that we need to address today, Counsel?
chad grunander
Just for the court's information, we did file just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.
So that should be in the court's file.
Lastly, I would just indicate to the court and to at this point, Mr. Robinson, that uh we are prepared to uh collect all of the discovery in this matter and get that turned over to the defense as soon as possible.
Rule 16 requires us to uh provide what we have relied on in charging the information and bringing these charges within five days uh once it's requested.
So that'll be prepared to disseminate to the defense as soon as possible.
tony graf
Thank you, Mr. Gruander.
Mr. Robinson, I what I also want to do is you have the right to have the charges uh read that you stand charged of, and I wish to read those two to you at this time.

chad grunander
Okay.
Thank you, Judge.
tony graf
All right.
I want to thank all parties for being here.
And this concludes this hearing at this time.
court is in recess.
unidentified
All right.
All right.
steve bannon
Right there, you saw uh charge.
I don't know why they're doing that.
WebEx.
Is it a security issue?
It was a security issue.
The state of Utah has got to step up to the plate and say, hey, we got this thing secure.
Uh uh, I don't get it.
I don't know what that was done during COVID.
I don't know what's done now.
Maybe it's standard procedure.
I don't understand it.
I think it's a bad show if it's uh if they got security concerns.
Let's get him into court, secure the courthouse.
Also, let me be blunt.
I don't know why he's putting the why didn't his parents didn't get him a lawyer.
I don't know why his parents didn't get him a lawyer.
Why why is he, he's been he's been locked up now.
What's today's Tuesday?
They caught him on Friday, right?
Thursday, Thursday night, late, around midnight.
Um I don't know why uh it's a capital crime in Utah.
I think they got the firing squad they can use.
Don't understand why he has not talked to a lawyer in four days.
I don't know why his parents haven't gotten a lawyer, why he's waiting upon getting uh having the citizens of Utah pay for a public defender.
That's right.
We're a little tough here in the war room.
I tell you what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna play the cold open at the bottom because I want to get in Aaron Saburium from uh from uh free beacon.
Uh Aaron, you've gotten can we get the piece up?
Uh I I want to get this in here because you've actually got exclusive reporting from the FBI about certain other elements of this case.
Uh, they were not brought to the question was asked by the media a couple times about kind of your article, what's in your article?
The the uh I think the chief prosecutor just said, hey, uh, or the district attorney says I can't discuss it because ongoing investigation.
Can you tell our audience what this is exclusive reporting you've got from the FBI?
unidentified
Sure.
aaron sibarium
Well, first of all, thank you for having me.
Um basically the FBI is investigating several social media accounts that posted things in the lead up to the shooting that, at least in retrospect, could be read as indicating some foreknowledge of the assassination.
Obviously, uh you don't want to read too much into any one Twitter post.
Um, and it's quite possible all of these are duds, but there were enough of them from enough different accounts, and some of them posted things that seemed just so eerily prescient that the FBI uh we know is investigating these posts and potential linkages between them, I believe.
steve bannon
Yeah, here's the thing, Aaron.
The reason I want to have you on, because folks, here's the Russia show.
We got a cold open that's long.
It's gonna cut back and forth between cash in total combat in this oversight hearing on on the on the Hill today, Senate Judiciary Committee Oversight.
We're gonna cut in between with the uh with language because they have a different system in uh Utah.
They don't have a grand jury system.
So they kind of lay out a charging document and kind of give you their reasonable uh why they have a a reason to do this.
That's read before they actually arraign the individual in court.
So this happened earlier today, and we'll cut back and forth between that.
I have held out of that, the reading of the text messages between uh the uh the defendant uh Robinson and uh and his roommate.
Uh and I gotta tell you though, Aaron, the reason I think your story is so important.
Uh I I could say pretty accurately zero percent of people are just buying this right now.
They're just not.
They're the things looks too scripted.
They're not the video, you know, they they cut back and forth to in the video with the guy, you know, he's got the thing down his leg, the brown is leg, and then another times he doesn't.
So there's a lot of questions, and I think that's what's makes your reporting so important here.
You say it's prescient.
I mean, talk about how many individuals are they, and how specific do they get about Charlie Kirk and how specific do they get about September 10th, sir?
aaron sibarium
Yeah, so a couple of the tweets uh did reference uh September 10th.
Now, I should note that at least one of those tweets came from an account that had referenced a lot of other dates.
So I'm not sure how much stock you want to put in that.
Um, and another one that referenced September 10th, uh, you know, it it sounds a little like reading the whole exchange, it's not really clear that this uh was actually really a prediction of Charlie Kirk's death.
It's or so much as kind of a retroactive celebration of it.
Um we don't really know.
There are others where that were made closer to the date of the shooting, where people really do seem to suggest, you know, uh say things like, you know, I hope he's evaporated tomorrow, like watch the news.
That's all I'm gonna say.
I mean, it really does sound like they're hinting at some uh that they have some foreknowledge that something is coming.
Um as I said, there's at least seven of these, right?
Um, so it's not just one or two.
Um and then the other thing that I think is noteworthy here, and again, there's a lot we don't know, but uh several of these accounts appear to be associated with various kind of LGBT online subcultures.
Um, and one of them followed the shooter's roommate on TikTok.
So again, none of that is a smoking gun, but it does seem like the shooter was at the very least kind of proximate to these online communities that were effectively fantasizing about Charlie Kirk's death, if not indicating some foreknowledge of it.
steve bannon
Some of these I think, and I only use the term because I think they're officially named that.
I think it's armed queers of Salt Lake City.
That's one of the groups I think took it down.
Are these the types of groups that you're talking about?
Some of these more aggressive or more leaning into it LGPT uh Q groups, sir?
aaron sibarium
Well, so my understanding is the FBI is investigating those groups.
Um, and then there's kind of these these accounts that aren't necessarily affiliated with those specific groups, but just all do seem to indicate in their in their bios or in their choice of username that they are part of some kind of strange LGBT subcultures.
Um, and I know there's a lot of those too on on Steam and Discord, uh, you know, on which the shooter was known to be active.
I believe he had a Steam account.
Um, some of this, not all of this has been verified, but it's clear that there are sort of a lot of these groups, both online and off that dabble in in really kind of militant rhetoric and iconography.
And I think that's part of why the FBI is taking these individual accounts so seriously.
It's not just the accounts, it's this kind of larger uh organizational ecosystem that really does seem quite uh comfortable with violence uh at the very least, or at least very comfortable with violent rhetoric.
steve bannon
Uh Aaron, uh were you familiar with anything before Charlie Kirk's assassination last Thursday?
Were you familiar with this kind of whole part of the of the internet or the whole part of uh kind of the the revolutionary left?
Were you familiar before you started going in and looking at this stuff.
aaron sibarium
It's it's not something I spend a ton of time in, but um you know, I I'm familiar with the Zizians, which is this kind of weird transgender rationalist cult that has been linked to multiple murders across the United States, including that of a border patrol agent, uh earlier this year or late last year.
Um so I mean I'm I'm tangentially aware that there are these kind of strange subcultures and networks.
I mean, some of them are more like cults um out there.
Uh and yeah, it it does seem like um there some of these kind of lefty subcultures just really have a problem with uh political violence.
steve bannon
Um that cult you talked about, I think people even when the and I think it was in Vermont or New Hampshire.
I mean, it's not your it was kind of the northern border patrol got got shot and killed by the uh people of the cult.
And I think they come all the way from San Francisco or something.
What so then when you dove into it and started really doing this reporting and saw you know the at least the grunge of them that you know appear in I'm gonna say they it's to be proven whether they knew it or not, but are overly pressing.
I think that's what shocked people.
I mean, what were your first thoughts when you started pulling this together?
aaron sibarium
You know, my first thought was look, this is speculative, and I don't want to read too much into it, but at the same time, it's really it's really creepy.
And I think even if the investigation doesn't turn up anything, even if all of these are dead ends, uh I think it illustrates um how normalized this kind of open morbid uh fantasizing has become on the left, where it's just okay, or at least in some circles of the left.
You know, I'm not I don't want to overgeneralize, but there clearly are these weird subcultures where people just think it's okay to call for the death of your political opponents um and to celebrate and justify it.
Um from what we know, this guy, uh Tyler Robinson was spending a lot of time online.
You know, I think if nothing else, these posts offer a window into how kind of the social media cesspool um and how it can radicalize uh wayward uh young people who just basically get a little internet poisoned um and maybe have some other issues going on at the same time.
steve bannon
Aaron, before I let you go, uh it's a big uh scoop, and it was an exclusive.
Are you can you give us directionally not the details, but are you following up on this reporting?
aaron sibarium
Uh if I if I hear more, I will certainly report more.
steve bannon
Perfect.
Where do people go and get you on social media?
Where do they get you over with the free beacon?
aaron sibarium
Uh my Twitter is at Aaron Savarium on one word.
And you can uh also read the free beacon every day, which you should do to read my stuff and also read my colleagues' stuff because everything that the free beacon puts out is great.
steve bannon
And where do they go?
Where do people go to get the free beacon?
aaron sibarium
Uh it's just free beacon.com.
steve bannon
Perfect.
Aaron, thanks.
Great job reporting.
Thanks for uh changing your schedule up.
Come on the show.
Appreciate you.
aaron sibarium
Of course.
Thank you so much.
steve bannon
If Mo and Grace can push that article out, I would like everybody to read it.
I think it is um I think Aaron's hit on something that's quite important, and I think it'll open up a lot of eyes.
It's a um, I mean, when you look at this subculture, it's quite eye-opening.
And I agree with him.
You know, it's it's some things are kind of random when you see as it's kind of this I don't know, center of gravity or you know, gr what I call a grunge.
It has you questioning.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We're going to um a lot has gone on today.
First of all, the president has landed in uh in England in our own uh Brian Glenn is with the president uh outside Windsor.
President tomorrow, the president's gonna go to Windsor and officially be greeted by the King of England tomorrow.
He's gonna have a number of festivities, uh military uh ceremonies, et cetera, at Windsor Castle, then a state dinner at Windsor Castle at eight o'clock, I think local time, London or in England tomorrow.
We'll be covering that.
Our own Brian Glenn is with him.
As soon as Brian gets set up, we're gonna go to Brian Glenn.
What we're gonna do is hit rewind.
I want to see this cold open, because here's what we've done.
We've juxtaposed Cash Patel getting torn apart or tempted to be torn apart by the Senate Judiciary Committee oversight, particularly a grandstander like Corey Booker and then Shifty Shift.
The shifty shift and cash gives better than he gets, so you'll you'll be enthusiastic.
We intercut that with aspects of kind of this um not charging document.
I guess it was a charging document where they read, at least they put enough in there to be able to back up these charges, particularly capital murder.
Uh but they, as I said in the press conference right after that, they don't answer that questions because it's under investigation, have a lot more details.
Uh, two things.
Number one, if we had been focused on getting the subpoenas and everything out for Shifty Shift, Shifty Shift would not be sitting there beating up Cash Patel.
He'd be subpoenaed, or he'd already be indicted for his activity in Russia Gate, of which it's Legion, his crimes.
And so I ask once again, action, action, action.
We can't let Shifty Shift continue to have a position of power on Capitol Hill in the United States Senate.
This is one of the worst guys around, as Cash Patel gives him in spades.
Number two, it's been announced, uh, I think Fox News is leaking that Dan Bongino.
It's a couple of tweets up there.
Dan Bongino will be leaving the FBI within the next two weeks.
I'm just putting out there what's been saying that the Fox News people are saying.
Also, number three, and most importantly, um, we're gonna have to get a lot more information here.
Uh, and I'm gonna we're gonna play the cold open, and then later I'm actually gonna play the text messages between the assailant, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk and his roommate slash lover.
And um, I don't know.
I was in the writer's guild as a screenwriter.
I'm just not buying it.
I hate to be brutally frank about it.
It just seems too scripted.
But we'll go through it and let you figure it out.
Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break.
We're gonna go from Utah to England, and the war room is gonna break it all down for you.
Short commercial break.
Want to thank the folks at Birch Gold.
Take your phone in and text Birch Gold 9898 Bannon.
Let's hit this again.
Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N.
That would be me.
At 989898.
Get the ultimate guide, a totally free ultimate guide to investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump and with the central banks buying it, hand over fists, and gold hitting a new high every couple of days.
Maybe it's time now to get it and uh understand it.
Short break, back in a moment.
cory booker
Mr. Patel, in just eight months, you have assaulted the institutional integrity of the FBI.
But I know FBI field agents.
I've worked with them in Newark.
No matter how truly bad you are, you can't undermine the legacy of agents who fight every day to keep us safe, but you can tarnish the integrity of the agency and undermine the agency's capacity.
I believe you're failing failing as a leader.
And that your failure does have serious implications for the safety and security of Americans and our families.
We're more vulnerable to domestic and foreign attack because of your failures of leadership.
I don't think you're fit to have the Bureau, but here's the thing, Mr. Patel.
I think you're not gonna be around long.
I think this might be your last oversight hearing.
Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you.
He will cut you loose.
This may be the last time I have a hearing with you because I don't think you're long for your job.
But I'm gonna tell you this.
I pray for you.
I pray for you that you can step up and defend your oath, defend the Constitution, and do a much better job of defending this country.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, point of order.

So UVU surveillance.
So at the moment of the shot, a UVU police officer was watching the crowd from an elevated vantage point.
As soon as he heard the shot, he began to scan the area for threats.
Believing the shot came from a rifle because of its sound.
He looked for potential sniper positions.
He noted a roof area approximately 160 yards away from Mr. Kirk as a potential shooting position and rushed there to look for evidence.
The suspected shooting position is adjacent to an open, publicly accessible walkway.
To access the suspected location, a person must climb over a railing and then drop to the roof only slightly below.
The UV officer climbed over the railing and down onto the roof.
He then walked to the suspected shooting position and confirmed a clear shooting corridor between the position and Mr. Kirk's seat.
He also noticed markings in the gravel rooftop, consistent with a sniper having lain on the on the roof, impressions in the gravel, potentially left by the elbows, knees, and feet of a person in a prone shooting position.
Police reviewed surveillance from the camera covering the roof and discovered that it recorded an individual dressed in dark clothing cross the railing from the public walkway and drop onto the roof at approximately 12 15 p.m.
Although the individual moved out of the camera's view for a short time, the camera again captured the individual running across the roof and then low crawling to the area the UBU officer recognized as where the suspected sniper had dropped into a prone shooting position.
After a short time, which matches the known time of the shot, the individual arose and ran across the roof to the northeast.
This discovery led to an intensive review of UBU surveillance recordings to attempt to track and identify the suspect.

What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you.
And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate in January 6th.
You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate.
You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward.
tony graf
I'm not surprised.
unidentified
I'm not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade reasons.
You are a political buffoon at best.
tony graf
Well, you can take an internet troll.
unidentified
Take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country and the state and citizens of California.
We are bringing historic reform.
kash patel
But all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat.
And what did President Trump do?
Bring new charges courageously.
And what have we done?

You said I'm the most transparent FBI director in history.

Go ahead and run to the cameras where you want to go now?

On the evening of September 11th, 2025, as law enforcement continued their investigation, Tyler James Robinson went to the Washington County Sheriff's Office with his parents and a family friend to turn himself in.
Robinson's mother stated that the following to police.
On September 11, 2025, the day after the shooting, Robinson's mother saw the photo of the shooter in the news and thought the shooter looked like her son.
Robinson's mother called her son and asked him where he was.
He said he was at home sick and that he had also been at home homesick on September 10th.
Robinson's mother expressed concern to her husband that the suspect shooter looked like Robinson.
Robinson's father agreed.
Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented.
She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders.
This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views.
In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robert Robinson said was a stupid venue for the event.
Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.
Robinson's father reported that when his wife showed him the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he agreed that it looked like their son.
He also believed that the rifle that police suspected the shoe shooter used matched a rifle that was given to his son as a gift.
As a result, Robinson's father can't contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle.
Robinson did not respond.
However, Robinson's father spoke on the phone with Robinson.
Robinson implied that he planned to take his own life.
Robinson's parents were able to convince him to meet at their home.
As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail and just wanted to end it.
When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil, and the guy referring to Charlie Kirk spreads too much hate.
thom tillis
Within 24 hours of Mr. Kirk's uh shooting, we had the guy that does the podcast for the war room and another guy who's denied the Sandy Hook uh shootings say we're at war.
Now, how on earth, and I do believe it's a smaller number, but it's a number that has an influence.
How on earth are we des de-escalating the situation with the tensions as high as they were last week with going out and saying we're at war?
I'm not asking you to respond to this question.
I'm just saying that there are people out here on our side of the aisle that still need to look in the mirror.
Even if you agree that it's a lower number, bad is bad no matter how many numbers they are.
And those kind that kind of rhetoric and that kind of mobilization makes your job more difficult and puts us in a position where we're not being as productive as uh as you want the FBI and uh state and local law enforcement to be.
steve bannon
That's Tom Tillish right there, wrapping up today at the hearing uh with going after War Room and Alex Jones, me personally and Alex Jones, the guy that does the podcast worm.
Yo, uh you I'm sure you know this, but you should understand this podcast is what drove you from public office.
Because uh you epitomize why this country is in the shape it's in.
You're one of these gutless liver lip uh Republicans to sit there and uh and you and you raise money from people, you say you're gonna do everything, you get there, you don't do anything.
You're just a blowhard.
And now you've been run out of here and run out of the Senate.
Uh and your name will soon be forgotten.
Right?
They'll have some in the in Wikipedia, you'll be listening as a guy as United States Senator and did absolutely nothing besides try to thwart President Trump.
And yes, we're at war.
And when I look in the mirror every day, one thing I see is a guy that ran Tom Tillis out of uh out of office, and I feel damn good about it.
Okay, brother.
Your your your group hug you gave them, we didn't play the whole thing.
It was sickening.
No, we have to escalate, and it's not towards violence.
Have you seen anybody in Charlie Kirk's uh arena?
Have you seen anybody on the right?
Go burn down anything, go threaten anybody?
No, but we're gonna get to the bottom and destroy this.
Gave a talk to the CPI guys last night.
That's um Senator DeMint and Mark Meadows kind of umbrella organization for conservatives like conservative leaders.
And I said, this is uh an inflection point that those that have just been going along to get along, have gotten us here because they haven't stood up.
And now you see with what happened at Charlie Kirk.
And as bad as it's presented uh in Utah, I'm not buying all of it.
I'm particularly not buying those text messages.
Um it just seems too stilted, too, too much like a uh too much like a script, actually a bad script.
So we gotta get to the bottom of it.
You have to designate these groups.
You heard uh you heard Aaron Saburium uh from Free Beacon, he's got this piece that you should read, just about all the other tweets that were out there, right?
That seem amazingly prescient for Charlie Kirk coming to quite frankly, uh a college that not a lot of people know about, a university and not a lot of people know about, although I think it's the largest university bigger than the University of Utah or Bringham Young in the state of Utah.
You've got to get to the bottom of these groups, you gotta get the bottom of Antifa.
You gotta see if there's any connections to Butler.
We got a whole lot of work to do, right?
A whole lot of work to do.
And no, I am not buying the uh I'm not buying the uh the script that was in the uh text messages.
I think so much more has got to be done about this.
I think the parents ought to be brought in.
I think uh everybody in the discourse channel, the roommate.
What do you mean the roommate sounds like roommate sounds like their accessory and not turning him in?
He did this text message hours and hours before.
Why is that any different than the Boston uh the Boston bomber where the four roommates went to prison because they didn't turn him in as soon as it came up on the uh as soon as it came up on the uh on the television?
So it's a whole lot of information we need.
And uh, and we're gonna keep the tip of the bandet ready to kind of nude people along to make sure we get it.
And if that's called escalation, Tom Tillis, this is why uh you're being shoved off the stage.
You got yanked off the stage, bro.
We sent you home.
You and your staff, right?
Uh, guys like you, losers like you that have just stood in the way is the reason the country's in the shape it's in.
It's the reason that guys like heroes like Charlie Kirk put their life on the line every day when they go in these cesspools called colleges because you have not stood up.
You have not done your job.
You have not thwarted this when you had the opportunity to escalate, you damn right we're gonna escalate.
Short commercial break.
We're gonna return in the war room.

You can see it happening right now.
They're doing everything to stall him.
And the reason I'm so upset about the deep state and the subpoenas, and I hear it's because of DOJ's backup.
Is Shifty Shift should not be allowed to sit there and abuse Cash Patel?
Now I will tell you, folks, I think I'm you might have to go back to the Civil War, but I don't even remember it happening then.
Definitely, I don't think this is in the McCarthy era in the mafia trials in the 50s.
I don't ever remember, and particularly with a government official, and a government official involved in intelligence or or uh law enforcement in exchange.
What you saw today was historic.
And I'm so proud of uh cash are not taking their crap.
Uh Corey Barco, you're nothing but a blowhard.
Spartacus, uh, you're nothing but a blowhard, right?
Total blowhard.
Um, and and shifty shift is corrupt.
The guy should be in prison and will eventually go to prison if we do our jobs, if we do our jobs, but right now he has not been subpoenaed.
My understanding, my understanding, and the question is why?
Why on September 16th in the year of our Lord 2025?
Is he there uh able to abuse cash patel and cash brother?
You went government gangsters on them.
unidentified
He blew back on shift, like he was shocked.
steve bannon
No witnesses ever, no government officials ever blown back on guys in the Senate, right?
The most of the most uh you know exclusive club in the world is what they call it.

So we well, we knew this.
The FBI came after you, uh they came after your banks.
