FBI widens Charlie Kirk probe to 20+ Discord members amid congressional inquiries into foreign funding by groups like "Queers for Salt Lake City." Trish Regan questions text message authenticity regarding shooter Tyler Robinson, contrasting his 36 ACT score with alleged radicalization, while citing YouGov data linking liberal acceptance of political violence to campus protests. The segment also notes La Monica MacGyver's arrest and concludes with tributes to Kirk alongside his wife Erica's new CEO role at Turning Points USA, suggesting deepening polarization drives both investigations and appointments.

Multiple Suspects Involved00:06:14
We need to stand together and we need to back him up and we need to honor his legacy and his memory and keep it going.
This kid got corrupted, the one that did this heinous act, Tyler Robinson.
Someone turned his heart into coal.
And it is believed by our own FBI that it may have not just been one person, but multiple people.
I talk to people.
You know that.
I've got sources everywhere.
It's my understanding that this roommate that was in the process of transitioning and it was also the alleged love interest of the shooter that this person is very much being looked at even though this person seems to be quote-unquote cooperating.
I'll tell you, I don't buy the texts.
Do you?
Let me make this bigger so I can read it with you.
I don't think that somebody who is as smart as this person was supposed to be, right?
Like, and he was smart.
He was definitely smart because he had like a 36 on his ACT equivalent of, I've said this before, but I like to translate it just because I'm not that familiar with the ACT into like 1500, 1550 on the SAT.
1600, right, is the perfect score.
So that's like, that's a really good score.
He had a 4.0.
He got a presidential scholarship for $38,000.
Yet he only lasted one semester.
What happened to him?
Was he radicalized in school?
And if you're that smart, why do you send text messages like this?
I mean, he's going on about admitting the guilt.
And it almost seems to be deliberate to me anyway, as I look at this, because the roommate is like, wait, you weren't the one who did it, right?
And the guy says, I am.
I'm sorry.
The roommate says, I thought they caught the person.
No, they grabbed some crazy old dude.
Then they interrogated someone in similar clothing.
I had planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down.
It's quiet, almost enough to get out.
But there's one vehicle lingering.
The roommate says, why?
And Robinson says back, why did I do it?
I mean, like, what, don't you think you'd be like, why?
Right.
And like lots of exclamation points.
And this is like a very calm response from the roommate.
Yeah.
Well, he said, I had enough of his hatred.
Some hate can't be negotiated with, negotiated out.
If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, they starts going back about how they're not going to have any evidence.
Well, again, like a smart person wouldn't really do that.
So it leaves me.
Thinking that this doesn't add up.
It just doesn't make sense.
At some point, the roommate does say, I'm much more worried about you.
He says, You're all I worry about, love.
The roommate says, I'm much more worried about you.
This is just weird.
This is very, like, it feels very scripted.
It doesn't feel normal.
So, this Lance Twiggs, again, who was living with Tyler Robinson, is one of the people very much still under investigation, as I understand this, but he's not the only one.
There was a whole broad network.
And there's concern that the broad network is being somehow sponsored, indirectly or directly, by foreign actors that want to see us taken down.
This came up the other day.
Sarnia County, Kash Patel talking about this very issue.
Isn't it?
Did Mr. Clark's assassin act alone?
As I've said since the beginning, Senator, it is very much an ongoing investigation.
And I can't speak to the state charges.
That's for the state to address on their own, but we are providing them with the same investigatory findings regarding the department.
And as I noted to Senator, I believe it was Cornyn or Holly, that there are a number of individuals that are currently being investigated and interrogated, and a number yet to be investigated and interrogated, specific to that chat room.
So, we are very much in our ongoing posture of investigation.
Yeah, they're looking at a lot of people.
And did you hear that?
He said others could have been involved.
And Kash Patel says, Yes, sir.
They have at least 20 that were in the chat room.
But there are a lot of questions.
There were some funky groups like out in the mountains there in Salt Lake City.
I guess queers for Salt Lake City is what it was called.
So, they wiped clean all of their social media after this happened.
There's been some reports of people talking about this ahead of time.
Don't forget, we talked about this.
Maybe Thursday of last week, there were songs written on accounts that had come out of Salt Lake City about how Charlie was going to die on that particular day and how that Charlie Kirk's death would not be enough.
So these things were out there and they were out there before this happened.
So again, this is why you have senators asking these questions, like Josh Hawley.
Reports have suggested that the FBI is investigating a broader network of groups that may have had some knowledge of the shooter's plans.
Can you give us any details on that?
Following up what you've already said in public, how's the FBI working to find other potential accomplices, folks who may have known about the shooter's plans, folks who may have encouraged him?
Any update on any of that?
So, in terms of what we do for an interrogation perspective, we go and reach out to the family and community immediately.
And we've conducted those investigations and interrogations with local law enforcement, and we're continuing to do that because those closest to the suspect are going to hopefully know the most about the suspect and his beliefs and his ideology.
On top of that, Unfortunately, it has been leaked that there was a Discord chat, and for those unfamiliar with it, it's a gaming chat room online that the suspect participated in.
So what we're doing, we've already done, is serve legal process, not just on Discord, so that the information we gathered is sustained and held in a evidentiary posture that we could use in prosecution should it be decided to do so.
And we're also going to be investigating anyone and everyone involved in that Discord chat.
Discord Chat Leaked00:12:13
Okay, very good.
I see the public reports that the Discord thread had as many as 20 additional users.
It sounds like you're trying to run down all of that to see if that's accurate, who else may have been on that thread, what they may have known.
Is that fair to say?
It's a lot more than that, and we're running them all down.
It's a lot more than 20.
All right.
Yes, sir.
You guys heard that, right?
It's a lot more than that.
So more than 20.
So Tyler Robinson, of course, charged.
He allegedly admits it right there in that text exchange with the roommate.
I don't fully buy it.
Curious to see what you guys think on that as I look at these comments here in real time.
But I would also say that, and this is what upsets me so much, this sort of growing anti-Americanism that is sprouting up in a really massive way where, increasingly, especially if you go to some of these elite college campuses, there's some kind of acceptance of, you know, maybe you do need violence if you can, you know, if you can take out the person with the different opinion that you don't agree with.
It's a YouGov study that just came out the other day saying that most Americans say it's unacceptable, like most Americans, right, to be happy about public figures' death.
But younger and more liberal Americans are far more likely to call it acceptable.
And by the way, you've seen all the horrible, horrible stuff online, right?
You've seen probably not on my show because I just refuse to show it, but, you know, I see it because I I see what comes through on TikTok, et cetera.
And I see it all on X and it's bad.
There are people that are celebrating this.
And then there are people like those Democrats, 58 of them, that don't have the common decency or kindness in their heart to actually pass this resolution and want to somehow tear him down and his family down in this moment of need, like Jimmy Kimmel, right?
Like it's all coming full circle here.
Jimmy Kimmel is part of that crowd that just can't stand to think that.
Maybe there is this violence out there, but take a look at this YouGov study, okay?
Political ideology, those that are very, very liberal, guess what?
24% of them say violence is always or usually acceptable.
What the heck is that?
You got 20% that are very liberal saying, not are very liberal saying, not sure, not sure.
You get the liberals, again, 10% say, always or usually acceptable to use violence.
17%, maybe, you know, not sure.
I mean, and again, it's dominating amongst the youth.
If you compare it to the conservatives, I mean, the conservatives want no part of this.
They would never say that violence is acceptable.
And then when you go over to the mainstream media, this one got me the other night over on CNN, some woman hosting a show there.
is again trying to echo this narrative that, you know, that they couldn't possibly, possibly be coming from liberal extremist groups like Josh Hawley and Kash Patel and Senator Kennedy are investigating, our FBI are investigating.
That couldn't possibly be happening.
And I love how she gets shot down with cold, hard facts like the ones I just showed you.
Watch.
This is about punishing them, them being the left, them being his political.
Opponents.
That actually, I think, is surprising to a lot of Americans because that's not typically what you would expect to hear from the White House.
Let's talk about some polling that he used to justify those comments before he made them on TV.
YouGov came out with a poll three days ago talking about how each side feels about violence and support of political deaths.
Liberals, 16%, believe it's okay to feel joy when your political opponent is killed.
Liberals, very liberals, 24%.
Conservatives, 4%.
Very conservatives, 3%.
Justifying violence.
Very liberal people have 25% answered yes, it's okay, you're justified that you should do violence against your political opponents.
Liberals, 17%, conservatives, 8%, and very conservatives, 3%.
That means it is 6 to 1 times more likely in respondents to this poll on the left.
Now, I'm not saying there's exclusivity on the left, I'm not saying that.
But there is certainly a problem where 6 times the amount of Republicans believe that it's okay to feel joy when your political opponent is killed, murdered, whatever, attacked, and that 6 to 1 believe that they are okay. in justifying violence against political opponents.
That's a problem.
That's a cancer within the movement.
Absolutely.
It's a total problem.
It is a cancer within the movement.
And you know what?
Donald Trump knows this, recognizes this.
And so the Democrats are trying to manipulate and spin and turn the facts and they turn to Jimmy Kimmel to help them do it.
But guess what?
The new FCC is not letting that go down.
Here's the president saying, you know what?
These left-wing organizations, they have to be called out.
He's looking at labeling Antifa for what we all believe it to be.
Take a look.
Your FBI is investigating the potential role of left wing organizations in the assassination.
I'm wondering if you think if Charlie Kirk's assassin worked alone or if he worked with it.
I don't know.
I mean, I can tell you he didn't work alone on the internet because it seems that he became radicalized on the internet.
That's just by watching the same things that you're watching and hearing.
It looks like he became radicalized over the internet.
And it seems like his wonderful parents brought in a wonderful neighborhood, smart guy.
Great boards, great marks, great student.
And then something happened to him over a fairly short period of time.
Looks like he was radicalized over the internet, and it's radicalized on the left.
He's a left.
A lot of problems with the left, and they get protected, and they shouldn't be protected.
But as you understand, I think, very well from the tone of your question.
Thank you very much.
So the president is now looking at labeling Antifa as a terror organization, and he wants to do so because it is believed that Antifa is being bankrolled by foreigners outside of this country that are trying to hurt us from within.
I remember talking to Charlie Kirk back in 2018.
He personally had been attacked.
He was leaving a diner, and he was attacked in Philadelphia.
about 50 Antifa people around him.
There must have been like one Antifa person inside the diner started yelling at him.
He goes outside and they had like radio signal to 50 people.
And his point to me at the time was that this is getting really serious.
The violence is getting bad.
And it was shortly after Maxine Waters had been calling for everybody to just, you know, be explicit with somebody who worked for the administration or was a Republican.
And I think we've all been through it.
I can remember being at my parents' club once and walking in for a Fourth of July celebration and a girl that I grew up with that I'd known from the time I was like five years old.
physically turned her body on me, gave me an up-down look of total disgust, physically turned her body away from me because somehow that was okay.
I had a grade school teacher who had been a mentor to me start lashing out on Facebook.
I mean, I didn't do anything because, you know, we're 600,000 strong over there on Facebook.
If I wanted to get everybody worked up and like take on the music teacher, I could have.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm not, you know, like, I'm like, what is it?
Like these everyday people.
Like now want to go after me.
Charlie had it bad where they were attacking him to the point where he had to get security and i'm told by sources very, very close to him and close to this event, he had six security people there.
Nobody did a drone like they should have done a drone.
Okay, that that was a.
That was a mistake, because maybe they would have seen the sniper on the roof if they had done the drone.
But listen, we've got to do something about these groups.
Look at the what i've got.
I'm pointing to right here.
A global web of Chinese propaganda leads to U.s tech mogul.
Okay, this is a guy Neville Sigmund, okay, who basically is being called out by the NEW YORK Times as well as the Daily Beast for having funneled a ton of information, misinformation and money into these misinformation Campaigns.
This just came up this week in Congress.
They're also looking at Soros and some others.
Like, who's funding this stuff?
Do they even know where their money's going?
Maybe they do.
Maybe they don't.
I've always said we follow the money.
And whether it's tax based on ideology or taxed on institutions of faith or people of faith, someone's paying for it.
And we are reverse tracing those steps.
We are not stopping at the perpetrator themselves.
We are reverse engineering to hold those accountable in our investigations to who funded them and knowingly funded them.
And we will bring the appropriate steps against them with our partners at DOJ.
So it could mean someone like this.
I mean, Congress has launched an investigation.
They have issued a subpoena on a Polina Luna being a big part of that out of Florida.
They say that this guy is involved in what China tries to call a smokeless war.
He, on the other hand, is professing his innocence, saying I categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of or work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives.
But, you know, if you look at what the New York Times is alleging, if you look at what even Daily Beast, so we got this across the spectrum here with a lot of liberal publications, they seem to think that he's had a hand in some of the radicalization.
This also came up on Twitter recently where they were talking about this armed queers of Salt Lake City being one of these groups that may have actually received funding from possibly Cuba.
This is the logo of the group out of Salt Lake City.
And so this is a group that it is believed is being looked at.
and is being scrutinized by the FBI in terms of whether or not they had some involvement here.
Meanwhile, you also have to recognize that this is something that's happening all over college campuses everywhere.
Here's a guy, David Kulick, I think is his name, and he put this up on Twitter.
I wanted to share it with you.
He went out to Georgia Tech.
This is days after Charlie's gun down there, and he's looking at all kinds of really angry, anti-fascist stuff.
But of course, they all think he's a fascist or a dictator because that's what MSNBC and The View.
And Jimmy Kimmel, keep telling you.
Here we go.
Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, Georgia.
And the first thing I see when I come to the campus is the fall of the Trump fascist regime beginning November 5th, 2025.
Refusefascism.org needs to be investigated.
2028 is way too late.
Trump must go now.
If you walk with me here, we have another sign.
This is the scary part.
The time has come for the fall of the Trump fascist regime beginning November 5th.
No, in the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a Fascist America.
All over the campus, similar signs.
No, in the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.
Refusefascism.org, followed by a sign that we already read.
This is happening all over this campus.
So you got to ask yourself, when you see posters like this nonstop, what are they advocating for?
Are they inciting certain events that we have seen recently?
The time has come for the fall of the Trump fascist regime.
The time has come.
I want to say that again.
The time has come.
That is what left leaning organizations on college campuses at Georgia Tech.
Are propagating to college students.
So when I walk around and I ask students, do you condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk?
And they say no, it's most likely because of stuff like this.
Yeah, and so that has to change, okay?
That has to change.
And so we need this full investigation to figure out who exactly is pushing this.
Because I don't think it's coming from good, wholesome Americans.
I think it's coming from some foreign sources that want to do us harm.
And then, of course, you get.
Liberals trying to take a political advantage of all this.
Foreign Sources Harm Us00:05:14
I mean, for goodness sakes, they clearly can't see the force for the trees because these lawmakers in New York are getting themselves arrested because they want to defend illegals.
It's like, what about the people who are here legally?
Like, do you care about us?
Apparently not.
Take a look.
They're out there causing all kinds of commotion there in New York City today.
I am here because I should be out of New York.
I am here to ensure that we protect.
All our fellow constituents, we shall not be moved.
It is not illegal to be undocumented.
We shall not be moved.
We shall not be moved.
So they're saying, We shall not be moved.
Okay, here estamos.
We're here.
We're not going anywhere.
We shall not be moved.
They have like the lamest of songs, right?
And that's what they did.
And so eventually they had to arrest them to get.
them out of the way.
One of them included Brad Landers, who's basically Mam Dami's sidekick.
Here's some more video of it.
A lot of yelling.
Under arrest.
Yeah okay, that's the reality.
Like you got to move or you're gonna be placed under arrest.
They just wanted to create this commotion, so 11 of them were arrested and I guess plenty of people were also arrested outside.
Here they are chanting, border walls have to go, Okay, so we had more arrests going on there in New York City.
And again, this harkens back to the question we keep getting at, which is what the heck are these people doing?
Why aren't they looking out for actual Americans here in this country?
Don't forget, look at New York, what they were getting, the Roosevelt Hotel, which was a beautiful hotel at one point, Midtown, Eastside.
They turned it into a shelter, basically, for all of these people, except it wasn't really a shelter because you still got maid service daily.
I mean, hey, I'd like daily maid service.
Thank you very much.
And they gave you little credit cards.
With over 300 bucks a week so you could buy ethnically appropriate food, because you know you just can't give people peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Forget about it.
No, we got to give ethnically appropriate food.
We got to give daily maid service, we got to hand out cell phones.
What is going on?
And then you know, La Monica, she's the queen of this.
La Monica Macgiver, she's not just Monica, she's La Monica.
I love that, like La Regina, the queen, La Monica, You know, it's just hysterical to me.
Anyway, La Monica MacGyver, first term congresswoman, is now facing 17 years in prison because she decided to not just sing a little song about how we're not going to be moved, but she decided in all her glory out there in her red pantsuit to take on these officers and to actually, if it, you know, if I'm looking at the same video you're looking at, it looks like she pretty much assaulted them.
You see this?
You see that?
Boom!
I mean, that's bad, okay?
And we've watched this together, I know a lot, but this is, whoa!
That's the one, okay?
That's the one.
So now she has been indicted and she is going to have to face trial.
She's pleading not guilty and she says, they're just going after me because I'm a black woman.
I don't think so.
I think they're going after you because you decided to socket to one of the federal law enforcement officers, okay?
So, like, times have changed and those excuses aren't going to work anymore.
And I think Americans are actually asking for all of these parties to stand up for what really, really does matter.
And that means the Americans that are here and that are here legally.
Okay, and by the way, this isn't that controversial.
You ask any immigrant who came here legally and they'd tell you the same thing.

So as we go into the weekend here, again, knowing that the FBI is looking at multiple suspects and there are still a lot of questions as to what happened, I think, you know, more than anything, we just need to remember the goodness of Charlie.
We need to remember what he represented, what he wanted.
His legacy has got to live on, right?
Like his legacy has got to live on in a meaningful way for all of us.
I think this is exactly what he would want.
Without a doubt, I know it's what he would want because he was just a good person through and through.
He was someone who really cared about the country.
He cared about young people.
He cared about the direction we were heading in.
He cared about his family.
He cared about God.
He wanted all of us to have a relationship with God.
He'll be missed every day, every single day, I know by so many of you.
