1
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Welcome contract number Thursday, the eleventh of September, September, eleventh

2
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is

3
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Tom Sullivan. So well, I want to split this into

4
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>two programs. Today we've got a lot of updates about

5
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the hunt for the killer of Charlie Kirk, so I

6
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>want to I'll start with that, that's the freshest news.

7
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 1>And then, of course it's also September eleventh, twenty four

8
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>years after we were attacked by al Qaeda, and I

9
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a replay of a lot of what happened

10
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on that day that I want to play for you.

11
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>General Keene his observations about what was going on Zen

12
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want.

13
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>To be.

14
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Overlooking there was in the middle of all of this.

15
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday there was a shooting at a high school in

16
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the Denver area, and that they're saying that the high

17
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>school shooter was radicalized by some extremist networks. Is sixteen

18
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>year old student who opened fire at his Colorado high school,

19
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>wounding two classmates then turning the gun on himself, and

20
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the sheriff there says he was radicalized by some extremist network.

21
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Gunfire was at Evergreen High school broke out around lunchtime yesterday.

22
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Three students taken to the hospital in critical condition following

23
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the gunfire. And then, of course he did what most

24
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of these people do, he killed himself. So has another

25
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>school shooting, and it got over well, you didn't hear

26
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>about it yesterday because of the breaking news about Charlie Kirk.

27
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>But I do want to start with let me start

28
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>with this. There's a White House reporter, Elena Tree is

29
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>her name, and she brought up how this is the

30
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>shooting of Charlie Kirk. The killing of Charlie Kirk is

31
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>affecting the White House here she is.

32
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this isn't just political. For really the majority

33
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 3>of the people in the President's in her circle, of

34
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 3>those who sit near the Oval office in the West Wing,

35
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>this is deeply personal. They all had very close relationships

36
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 3>with Charlie Kirk. He wasn't just someone you know that

37
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 3>they welcomed in to the White House at times or

38
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>helped him on the campaign trail. A lot of people

39
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 3>here had very, very deep close relationships with him. Even

40
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>the President, some of our sources are telling us, kind

41
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 3>of viewed him like a family member. I'd pointed to

42
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>some of the emotional posts we've now seen from high

43
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 3>ranking people in kind of Trump's inner circle. You look

44
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 3>at the Vice President JD. Vance. He shared a one

45
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 3>thousand word eulogy really on x just before midnight at

46
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 3>length describing his deep close relationship with Charlie Kirk and

47
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the history that those two men shared. We also saw

48
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 3>another emotional post from Donald Trump Junior, the President's son,

49
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 3>describing Kirk as someone who was like a brother to him.

50
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 3>So again, this isn't just about the political nature of this.

51
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>The people in this building behind me, and the people

52
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 3>who were the closest to the president really viewed him

53
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>within that small group of loyalists, someone who had a

54
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>direct line to the president, someone they believed, even when

55
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>they disagreed with, had the best interests of really the

56
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 3>movement at hand. And so there's been a lot of shock,

57
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot of kind of disbelief in the building behind me.

58
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 3>I know yesterday a lot of my sources, a lot

59
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 3>of White House officials were watching the TVs kind of

60
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 3>glued to the screen trying to get any sort of

61
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 3>update on this. And then you know, we also did

62
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 3>hear from the President. He shared a video on social

63
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 3>media it's over four minutes honoring Charlie Kirk, but he

64
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 3>also laid out potential next steps regarding how we could

65
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 3>potentially see this White House and the broader Trump administration

66
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>try to respond.

67
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>So her point is clearer that it is much more

68
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>than just another shooting. It is much more than a

69
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>political event. This is personal for a lot of people

70
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>at the White House and a lot of people in

71
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the media that knew Charlotte. Charlie Kirk was amazing. He

72
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 1>really put together a very influential group in a very

73
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>short period of time. And here's a little clip of

74
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>him from just a couple of weeks ago talking about

75
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he had big plans for this thing to grow even bigger.

76
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 4>What we have brought into the political space is that

77
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 4>we have made conservatism not just cool again, not just

78
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 4>attractive again, but it's appealing. People want to join it,

79
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 4>they want to be part of it. And this is

80
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 4>one of the major reasons why President Donald Trump was

81
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 4>able to win the youth vote in Michigan. He was

82
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 4>able to win the youth vote in Arizona, my home state.

83
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 4>President Trump did what was unthinkable thirteen years ago. I mean,

84
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 4>we've known each other for a while here, I mean

85
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 4>to think a decade ago that a Republican running for

86
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 4>the presidency would be winning the youth vote. It's just

87
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 4>an incomprehensible concept. And so we here at Turning Point, USA.

88
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 4>We're going to these college campuses. Our crowds are growing,

89
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 4>our support is increasing, and the data and the statistics

90
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 4>bear that out as well.

91
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Yep, the crowds were growing. He had somewhere around three

92
00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand people at this university in Orum, Utah. So he

93
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he talks about how a president Trump was

94
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>able to win a youth vote. A lot of it

95
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>was because of what he did and how amazing it

96
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>was that what he was able to accomplish in his

97
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>short life. Former FBI Special Agent Stuart Kaplan was asked

98
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>about the search for the killer.

99
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Law enforcement is quite frankly scrambling right now to work

100
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 5>backwards and try to identify first how this person gained

101
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 5>access onto that rooftop. But what they do know, and

102
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 5>I think their biggest concern, is this was a targeted attack.

103
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 6>The target was Charlie Kurt.

104
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 5>This same individual had the opportunity to inflict other mass casualties,

105
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 5>but this person chose to maintain his or her discipline,

106
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 5>they got up, they took the shot, and then they

107
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 5>got out of there. That indicates that there was a

108
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 5>survey prior to yesterday with this individual had the lay

109
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 5>of the land to understand how to get onto this

110
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 5>rooftop and then had to very quietly escape undetected. At

111
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 5>this point, that is a very difficult task for the

112
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 5>FBI and other law enforcement partners to work through to

113
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 5>try to get some indication of who this person may be. Well,

114
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of information that I'm sure that the

115
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 5>FBI has. For a way of example, we don't know

116
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 5>whether or not the shooter left the weapon behind. We

117
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 5>don't know whether or not a shellcasing the one bullet

118
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 5>was discharged from the rifle. Was it a bolt action.

119
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 5>If it was a bolt action, that means someone manually

120
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 5>would have to discharge or reject that shellcasing. Did they

121
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 5>collect the shellcasing? Have they sent it for fingerprint analysis

122
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 5>or DNA analysis? Now that can be turned around in

123
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 5>a very short period of time. That hasn't been disclosed

124
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 5>to us with respect to the weapon, the shellcasing, And

125
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 5>of course today you're going to see an attempt to

126
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 5>try to locate the bullet itself. Because the bullet obviously

127
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 5>went through Charlley Kurt, it has to end up impaled somewhere.

128
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 5>They're going to try to locate that. They're going to

129
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 5>try to work backwards. You're going to see them out

130
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 5>on this venue with lasers to try to set up

131
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 5>some sort of forensic trajectory to see exactly how this

132
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 5>person was perched and try to then identify a profile.

133
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 5>Was there any active threat against Charlie Kirk that quite

134
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 5>frankly is not known to the public, and try to

135
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 5>nail down if there were individuals that may be out

136
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 5>there that they're aware of. When you take a look

137
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.560
<v Speaker 5>at the altitude or the elevation of the way Charlie

138
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 5>Kirk was seated, he had a tent over him, and

139
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 5>so when you back up let's say four hundred and

140
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 5>fifty feet five hundred feet six hundred feet, that shot

141
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 5>becomes more and more difficult because you're looking down at

142
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 5>that target. That is why I believe it wasn't quote

143
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 5>unquote a headshot. It was taken at the upper torso

144
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 5>because the line of site only exposed Charlie Kurt's upper

145
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 5>torso area or the neck area. I think if the

146
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 5>tent wasn't concealing Charlie Kirk's head, quite frankly, you would

147
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 5>have seen this as a headshot. There is a degree

148
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 5>of expertise. There is no doubt in my mind this

149
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 5>person is to some extent a professional. This was a

150
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 5>professional hit by all accounts, especially by the fact that

151
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 5>he had an opportunity to discharge that weapon multiple times randomly,

152
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 5>but he chose to stay on target.

153
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 1>So some more details I'll play for you here in

154
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>just a minute came out today and I thought this

155
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>was maybe a hit man because it was right at

156
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a kill spot, right in Charlie Kirk's neck, and it

157
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>was so far away, at least two hundred yards away,

158
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>and it was a high powered rifle turned out to

159
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 1>be a thirty odd six. But out of all of this,

160
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to I'm thinking this must be a

161
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>local person who would know. I mean, I heard Charlie

162
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Kirk last weekend talk about the fact that he was

163
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>starting his fall tour of various college campuses. He said

164
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>this Wednesday, which was yesterday, and that he was going

165
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to be in Utah on Wednesday kicking off the fall tour.

166
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I think there's fifteen colleges he had on the plans

167
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 1>for the tour during this fall season. So I don't

168
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>know how could you go and find out where he

169
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 1>was going to be and know how to get up

170
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 1>on that building and know it Just seems like it's

171
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>got to be somebody that was local and had an

172
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>ax to grind with Charlie Kirk. I pulled a couple

173
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 1>of clips from They had a news conference earlier today

174
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the Utah Commissioner of Public Safety and the Salt Lake

175
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 1>City FBI Agent in charge. Here's a comments from the

176
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Utah public Safety guy.

177
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 6>Through all that work last night, we were able to

178
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 6>make a few breakthroughs. We were able to track the

179
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 6>movements of the shooter starting at eleven fifty two am.

180
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 6>This subject arrived on campus shortly away from campus. We

181
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 6>have tracked his movements onto the campus through the stairwells

182
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 6>up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location.

183
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 6>After the shooting, we were able to track his movements

184
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 6>as he moved to the other side of the building,

185
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 6>jumped off of the building, and fled off of the

186
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 6>campus and into a neighborhood. Our investigators have worked through

187
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 6>those neighborhoods, contacting anybody they can with doorbell cameras, witnesses,

188
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 6>and have thoroughly worked through those communities trying to identify

189
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.759
<v Speaker 6>any leads. We do have good video footage of this individual.

190
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 6>We are not going to release that at this time.

191
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.039
<v Speaker 6>We were working through some technologies and some ways to

192
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 6>identify this individual. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach

193
00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 6>out to you as the media and we will push

194
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 6>that publicly to help us identify them. But we were

195
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 6>confident in our abilities right now, and we would like

196
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 6>to move forward in a manner that keeps everyone safe

197
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 6>and moves this process appropriately.

198
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it sounds like they have a lot more than

199
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I certainly thought. They've got video of the guy they

200
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>know when he arrived twenty minutes before Charlie Kirk started,

201
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 1>which also says something about he really knew about this

202
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>this location in orm Utah. But they and they have

203
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.879
<v Speaker 1>today released a couple of photos of the guy somebody.

204
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 1>This is where you know. They say they're going back

205
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 1>and using AI and doing all this stuff to take

206
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>his photo and run it through a zillion Facebook photos

207
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they use. And they came Obviously they didn't

208
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>come up with anything. So this is a young guy

209
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 1>that did the shooting, or is the one they suspected

210
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 1>the shot and so he maybe doesn't have many photos

211
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>out there and he probably doesn't have a wrap sheet

212
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that never been in prison. So all that's going to

213
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>come up with nothing. So when they turned to the public,

214
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 1>it is because they came up with nothing, and they're

215
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>hoping somebody somewhere says, oh, I know who that is.

216
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's the other gentleman at the news conference today was

217
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the head of the Salt Lake City office of the FBI.

218
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 7>This morning, I can tell you that we have recovered

219
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 7>what we believe is the weapon that was used in

220
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 7>yesterday's shooting. It is a high powered bolt action rifle.

221
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 7>That rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the

222
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 7>shooter had fled, So the FBI laboratory will be analyzing

223
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 7>with this weapon. Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a

224
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 7>palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis. How I understand

225
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 7>there are a lot of questions about motive. I assure

226
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 7>you that all leads, tips and tips are being fully investigated.

227
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 7>As if this morning, we received more than one hundred

228
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 7>and thirty tips. We think the community for that. The

229
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 7>FBI has brought every resource to bear. Well, we will

230
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:17.559
<v Speaker 7>relentlessly pursue this case and the shooter until we find it.

231
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a matter of a very short matter

232
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>of time before they actually find this guy. But I

233
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>mean they have photos of him, they have video of him.

234
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>He has a hat on with sunglasses. But other than that,

235
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>if you know him, you're gonna know that so and so.

236
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 1>That's a question of whether his friends will turn him

237
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in people that know him. The other part behind this

238
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>is they've got a palm print, they've got a forearm print,

239
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>they've got footprints, they've got the rifle. It's just at

240
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>this point it seems like it's just a very short

241
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I would be very surprised if this guy was still

242
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>on the loose here in another week. Now. It takes

243
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>time sometimes. I mean, you look at the four college

244
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 1>kids that were stabbed to death in Idaho. It took

245
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>them five weeks before they found Brian Koberger and they

246
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>had the DNA, so it still can take some time.

247
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 1>And Luigi that shot and killed the United Healthcare executive

248
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 1>here in New York City, he was on the lamb

249
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>for five days, so it may take a little more time,

250
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>but I would think that they are pretty close to

251
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 1>wherever this guy is in hiding. We played just a

252
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit more of the two law enforcement officers took

253
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of questions from the media. I'll plan for you.

254
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 6>So we I'll release about the suspect. Is suspect blended

255
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 6>in well with a college institution, and we're not releasing

256
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 6>many detail right now, and then we will soon, but

257
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 6>right now we're not. But that individual appears to be

258
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 6>of college age. We are confident in our abilities to

259
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 6>track that individual. If we're unsuccessful in identifying them immediately,

260
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 6>we will reach out for the public's help and the

261
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 6>media's help. And pushing those photos. That was a new

262
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.480
<v Speaker 6>development overnight, working through the night studying those cameras. So

263
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 6>that's that's something that's new and that we're working true

264
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 6>right now. As far as the security, I cannot speak

265
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 6>to that. Neither the Department of Public Safety nor the

266
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 6>Federal Bureau of Investigation was involved in the planning or

267
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 6>security of this event, and that'll have to be a

268
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 6>question later for other agencies.

269
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.279
<v Speaker 7>So that's a good question, and it's a question that

270
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 7>goes to the safety of the community right, No, not

271
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.639
<v Speaker 7>in those woods. We've walked through through those woods and

272
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 7>secured it. As to the community, I can tell you

273
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 7>that this was a targeted event. We don't believe that

274
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 7>the community.

275
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 6>Is at risk.

276
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 7>However, we are exhausting every resource to find him and

277
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 7>we will be a song college age.

278
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe he was from this university?

279
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 7>And how far do you think he may have gone?

280
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 7>In miss heimesht So I can't comment specifically on his

281
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 7>face or any details such as that as it's continuing

282
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 7>to be a part of the investigation, and again we'll

283
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 7>release that shortly. However, we're doing everything we can to

284
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 7>find him and we're not sure how far he has

285
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 7>gone yet.

286
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 8>But will.

287
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>This reminds me a lot about the hunt they had

288
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:35.759
<v Speaker 1>for Luigi Maggioni. Young guys, they don't have a rap sheet,

289
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.759
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a record, they're not in a lot

290
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>of databases anywhere, so it's it may take a few

291
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>days before they find out where he is. But the

292
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 1>photo is out there. If you go online, you'll see

293
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the photo and if you know who he is, you'll

294
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>recognize him immediately. I'm sure. Another former FBI agent, Robin

295
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Draekes talking about this case today.

296
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's a lot of good data that we're getting

297
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 9>out of this. And at the early on set, people

298
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 9>were thinking this was a professional hit, and professional had

299
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.599
<v Speaker 9>a different connotation to me. I thought it was a

300
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 9>skilled shot. But professionals don't do this, and so luckily

301
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 9>he's made a lot of missteps and as indicated in

302
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 9>this press conference, he left a data trail of evidence that.

303
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 6>They're able to zero in on Hi pretty quickly.

304
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 9>I think, yeah, so professionals, if this individual was actually

305
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 9>truly trying to just kill Charlie Kirk, this is not

306
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 9>the way to do it because this is in a

307
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 9>public venue, leaving a lot of footprints on the ground,

308
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.079
<v Speaker 9>leaving a weapon in the woods, not having a clear

309
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 9>escape plan, which people thought he did, And so that's

310
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:46.079
<v Speaker 9>not a professional level, like at the higher levels that

311
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 9>you're kind of thinking, like in the movies, this is

312
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 9>a skilled shot, but an unskilled individual at being an assassin.

313
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 9>There's two things here. One, you have the videos of

314
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 9>the individual that they can backtrack and do a match

315
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 9>on and see those egress and ingress points. That's whereas

316
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 9>more people with videos of him to see if you

317
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 9>can track him to a car license plate and also

318
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 9>start doing triangulation, which is going to take a little

319
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 9>time of cell phone data. The other thing with the

320
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 9>weapon that they have, the likelihood of them having DNA

321
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 9>is very very high. Let's just look at the Coburger case.

322
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 9>They are able to use trace DNA to actually do

323
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 9>a genealogy search. It takes a little bit of time,

324
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 9>but this is with family members that didn't even put

325
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 9>themselves into the genealogy system. So I think they're coming

326
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 9>at it from two angles and be coming at from

327
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 9>the technology of looking cell phone tracking data for this

328
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 9>area that something's going to stand out, so they can

329
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 9>rule out people that actually live in that area. Since

330
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 9>you've flewed into the woods, possibly vehicle traffic as well

331
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 9>as DNA traffic. And so what they're looking for is

332
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.079
<v Speaker 9>they're going to have it, they just don't have it

333
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.720
<v Speaker 9>quite yet.

334
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's all very g whizz technology that they're going

335
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to be using, but it does take I mean, genealogy

336
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>DNA is going to take a few days at the

337
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>very least, maybe a week or two. And as far

338
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>as if they have a palm print and a footprint

339
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and a forearm print, I would imagine that he left

340
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 1>some DNA. So as a young guy, maybe he's not

341
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>all that smart. I mean, the one thing about Brian Kolberger,

342
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 1>he had a master's degree in criminology, so he studied

343
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.200
<v Speaker 1>all this way, the ways in which law enforcement can

344
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 1>find people. But this guy, well, we'll find out. But

345
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I got the feeling that he's made a lot of mistakes.

346
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 1>But they're going to it's going to take a few

347
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 1>days to do the do the technical investigation before they

348
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>can come up with a name. Trey Goudi, former prosecutor,

349
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 1>also observations from him.

350
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean, I think the police did the right thing.

351
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 8>They give no information that jeopardized the ultimate goal, which

352
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 8>is a conviction. I mean, you have to make the arrest,

353
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 8>but the ultimate goal is for this person to be convicted.

354
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.119
<v Speaker 8>So you got to be careful what you release. What

355
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:01.240
<v Speaker 8>the police essentially want is give us all the video

356
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 8>you may have, give us any tip, any tip that

357
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 8>you may have. I think they images of the suspect

358
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 8>are not the same as images of the face of

359
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 8>the suspect, and prints are only good if you have

360
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 8>someone to compare them or match them with. I think

361
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 8>they are going to apprehend the killer. But the goal

362
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 8>again is to get a conviction. It is not simply

363
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 8>to generate a headline or have a good press conference.

364
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 8>This ends in front of a jury or with a

365
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 8>guilty plead. The only other thing I would add is

366
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 8>as painful as it is, people have to watch the

367
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.920
<v Speaker 8>video from yesterday, and while they're watching it, and they're

368
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 8>going to want to turn their heads away. But you

369
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:50.119
<v Speaker 8>need to imagine this as a husband and a father

370
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 8>and a friend, not someone politically that you may happen

371
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 8>to disagree with. This video is so jarring to watch.

372
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 8>The problem is it really happened, and it happened in

373
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 8>the greatest country in the world, and so we got

374
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 8>to have a conversation about how much of this we're

375
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 8>willing to put up with. So watch what happened to him.

376
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 8>He is killed in an instant, and an instant from

377
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 8>two hundred yards for what reason, because you happened to

378
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 8>disagree with his political belief Make yourself watch it and

379
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 8>realize this is a husband and a father, not just

380
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 8>some political person with whom you may happen to disagree.

381
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:35.279
<v Speaker 1>It brings up the topic about do you watch the video?

382
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>It's out there it's very violent, very violent. But what

383
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Trey's trying to make the point of and it's ironic

384
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that it is today nine to eleven, they stop showing

385
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the airplanes flying into the buildings except for today, just today,

386
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you can see the old videos of the planes flying

387
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 1>into the World Trade Center, And no we don't have video,

388
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Shanks film and the Pentagon was a blur of just

389
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>an explosion. But the point is is that the networks

390
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 1>have decided that it's too sensitive to show the planes

391
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 1>flying into the buildings. There's another whole group out there

392
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:28.759
<v Speaker 1>to which I belong, which says you have to know

393
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 1>about the evil that people are willing to do and

394
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>how far they're willing to go. One of the one

395
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of the murders that you have seen the details in

396
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 1>over and over, in granular detail, is the Zabruder film

397
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.559
<v Speaker 1>of showing John F. Kennedy getting shot in the motorcade

398
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas. They have how many times have you seen

399
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that where they they show the frame by frame and

400
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the bullet hits his head in capow. I don't know

401
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:11.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's that shocking to people. The president of the

402
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>United States was killed, and yet this is also in

403
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a different way. It is violent because it shows the bullet,

404
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it shows that the hit on Charlie, and it's just gruesome.

405
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't I don't know. I get what Trey

406
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 1>wants you to come away with is you need to

407
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>see how demented people are to take somebody else's life

408
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>over some political disagreement. Karl Rove gets into this as well.

409
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I was taken by the expressions, let's think about it.

410
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 2>This young man was a conservative and Republican, and every

411
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 2>living president, Democrat and Republican spoke with with with a

412
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 2>sorrow about his death. I was taken by Recently, he

413
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 2>appeared on a podcast with Gavin Newsom talking about two

414
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:10.240
<v Speaker 2>different people with different views and yet they found a

415
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>common forum in which they could exchange their ideas. And

416
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I was taken by Governor Newsom's comments after the assassination.

417
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Same with the leadership of Hakim Jeffries in the House

418
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and Chuck Schumer in the Senate. The President of the

419
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.680
<v Speaker 2>United States loved Charlie Kirk and Charlie Cook loved Donald Trump,

420
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.839
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump can express that love by being the

421
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 2>person in this moment who can draw us together in

422
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 2>sorrow and in grief. Over the death of this young man.

423
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>This is a moment I think you're absolutely right, where

424
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 2>as a country we could come together where it is

425
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>a remarkable story. You're right, starts at nineteen says I'm

426
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>not going to go to college because I want to

427
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 2>start a movement. I love my country, I love its constitution.

428
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 2>I believe in the freedom and the liberty that was

429
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>promised to us under the Declaration. And I want to

430
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>energize my fellow young Americahricans to protect that dream. And

431
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 2>in thirteen short years he rose like a rocket. And

432
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>what was most interesting was his willingness to engage. I mean,

433
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>it was like, prove me wrong. He said, come, come, come,

434
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 2>and let's talk on a college campus, not exactly a

435
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.319
<v Speaker 2>home territory, if you will, for conservatives, come and let's

436
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 2>engage in a dialogue. Let's debate. And this belief in

437
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 2>the essence of American democracy was probably one of the

438
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.279
<v Speaker 2>most remarkable things about him. And yeah, you're right. He

439
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>had a brilliant life ahead of him. He had a bright,

440
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 2>shining period of thirteen short years in which he made

441
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 2>a big difference on behalf of the things he believed in.

442
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 2>And his death is a sad commentary on the wave

443
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of violence that we are that we are experiencing as

444
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 2>a country. He was killed in June. We saw a

445
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Democrat state representative in Minnesota and her husband killed. In May,

446
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 2>two young Israeli staffers walking down a street in Washington,

447
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 2>d C. In April, the governor of Pennsylvania's family, it

448
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 2>wakes up to realize their house has been set afire,

449
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and not too not many blocks away from two or

450
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.519
<v Speaker 2>three blocks away from where you're sitting. In New York

451
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 2>last year, the CEO of the United Healthcare was killed.

452
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and

453
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>candidate again for the presidency, is the subject of two

454
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 2>assassination attempts, one which the entire country saw in that

455
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>terrible moment in Butler, Pennsylvania. And you go back in

456
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 2>recent years, the attack on Paul Pelosi, the attack on

457
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the US Capitol, the gunman who attempted to kill Republican

458
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 2>members practicing for the congressional baseball game. I mean, in

459
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, Congressman Scalise, Steve Scalise nearly died. And what

460
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>is wrong with our country that people think that a

461
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.799
<v Speaker 2>resolution to violence is either their way to gain notoriety

462
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.559
<v Speaker 2>and a social media culture, or to somehow, you know,

463
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.759
<v Speaker 2>achieve a political goal by killing a political enemy. And

464
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>the death of this young man, the new father, two

465
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>young children. It's just a terrible moment in our nation.

466
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 2>And I hope it shocks us into realizing that we're

467
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 2>all Americans and that we are worthy of discussion and

468
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>debate and disagreement if need be. But we're all Americans,

469
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:29.119
<v Speaker 2>and this is not what our country should be, should

470
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>should have to experience.

471
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I think about this sometimes about because I've been on

472
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>this planet long enough to remember the sixties, and a

473
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of people have been saying, and I have too

474
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>in the past, all the sixties were much worse than

475
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.559
<v Speaker 1>what we have today. But I don't know, we're starting

476
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.920
<v Speaker 1>to close in. I mean, the sixties started off with

477
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 1>the killing of John F. Kennedy, our president, and then

478
00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:00.119
<v Speaker 1>we had the killing of Martin Luther King Jr. We

479
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.079
<v Speaker 1>had the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. Throw into the middle

480
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of the sixties, you've got a very unpopular war, the

481
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Vietnam War, So you've got protests in the streets, tons

482
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>of protesting in the streets, and in the mid sixties,

483
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 1>you had you broke had in major cities around the

484
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>country race riots over to the civil rights movement, and

485
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>so it was. It was turbulent and deadly, and a

486
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of people died, including a lot of high level

487
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>politicians in the sixties. But here we are, and you've

488
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.799
<v Speaker 1>heard carl going through some of them. I mean, you've

489
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:46.559
<v Speaker 1>got the president twice as somebody tried to assassinate him,

490
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that that bullet came literally touched his

491
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:57.039
<v Speaker 1>ear was maybe, I mean just an inch further away

492
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 1>from where Charlie Kirk was at. But you got a

493
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Thompson, the United Healthcare executive, was shot, the Jewish

494
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Museum couple that was out for the evening, or shot

495
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 1>on the streets of Washington, Paul Pelosi. You've got Governor

496
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Shapiro whose family is sound asleep and somebody sets the

497
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.839
<v Speaker 1>house on fire trying to kill him. You got the

498
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 1>legislator and her husband in Minnesota that were killed. So

499
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we do have a lot of violence. And I don't

500
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>know if we're just in a recurring wave of violence

501
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like we were in the sixties, but it's clearly growing again.

502
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 1>There's no question about it. So listen, I want to

503
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.359
<v Speaker 1>break this into two podcasts today because today is the

504
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth anniversary of nine to eleven. So I'm going

505
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 1>to do a part two where we look back on

506
00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.559
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven of two thousand and one, and I'll

507
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 1>do that in a separate podcast here and post it

508
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 1>right after we post this one. We did have some

509
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.839
<v Speaker 1>big economic news today. The consumer price index inflation at

510
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>your pocket book pocketbook level in mind two point nine percent.

511
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>That is higher than it was last month. First time

512
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>jobless claims jumped to the highest we've seen in years,

513
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and sixty three thousand first time job was

514
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 1>claims last week. So this is pointing two messages, absolutely,

515
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 1>two messages about whether or not. I mean, if you're

516
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the Fed and you see inflation starting to get higher

517
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and higher, you'll want to raise interest rates, not lower them,

518
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to try to cool the economy off. But at the

519
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:58.119
<v Speaker 1>same time, they're very worried after getting the benchmark revision

520
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>on jobs nine hundred and eleven thousand jobs overstated, and

521
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>so they see a labor market this week, they see

522
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.079
<v Speaker 1>inflation that's growing. So we'll see what the Fed does

523
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.400
<v Speaker 1>when they meet next Tuesday and Wednesday. We find out

524
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:21.839
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday. Meantime, the market was enthused about all of this,

525
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 1>the Dow new record up six hundred and seventeen to

526
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 1>close a forty six thousand and one oh eight, the

527
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.880
<v Speaker 1>S and P up fifty five, the Nasdaq up one

528
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty seven. Price of gold fell eight bucks

529
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>down to thirty six seventy three, and oil down a

530
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>buck and a half sixty two dollars for a barrel

531
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of oil today, Thank you for coming by. Part two,

532
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.799
<v Speaker 1>basically focusing on the anniversary of nine to eleven, is

533
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.599
<v Speaker 1>also up on the boards there today. Thank you for

534
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.759
<v Speaker 1>coming by today, and we'll see you again, hopefully tomorrow,
