Earlier today, Kash Patel dropped a bombshell on Fox News when he said the Charlie Kirk assassin left a note saying he had an opportunity to take him out and was going to do it! Then the note was later destroyed, according to Patel. All of that seems to suggest the note was left for someone (maybe the roommate) and was later destroyed when that person realized how bad it would look and potentially lead to criminal liability? All just speculation at this point, but this is not speculation — here’s what Kash said live on Fox News earlier today: BREAKING VIDEO: Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Wrote Note Saying, “I Have An Oppertunity To Take Him Out, And I’m Going To Take It!” FBI Director Kash Patel Reports PLUS, Crime Scene DNA Evidence- From Rifle, Screwdriver, & Towel- Matches That Of Tyler Robinson, Confirming The Suspect… pic.twitter.com/K7J6P7Lusk — Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) September 15, 2025 There’s been a lot of confusion about that ever since, and I think this will help add more color.

The state and local partners could not have been more cooperative. And I, you know, I know when tragedies like this happen, this isn’t time for back patting. Ah, who cares? We lost Charlie. I mean, this—But, ah, I do want you to know, as taxpayers and citizens, you pay for the FBI, you pay for your Utah DPS and other entities out there, that there’s been none of this kind of internal fighting that may have happened in the past. I mean, our ERT, our Evidence Response Team—Megan, that was a massive crime scene, massive crime scene. Hundreds of people, articles of—There were… No, I don’t—Uh, listen, I can’t get emotional about this. You have to just process information. But I was there in the crime scene and we spent a couple of days there, both the director and I. And when you go in the room where they had put the school bags and the—You know, one of the things—Sorry. But one of the things that really hit me, there’s a room where all of the personal articles that were left behind at the scene, which were significant, were being stored on the campus. And, you know, when you’re processing all this, it hits you weird. You think about the weirdest of things, and I just—I couldn’t believe how many water bottles. Everybody had one of those water bottles—I don’t know what they’re called. The kids have these fancy water bottles, and they were everywhere in the room. And there were baby carriages and things like that. And our evidence response team responded and immediately had this crime scene ready to go. We had an agent there in 16 minutes from the time Charlie was shot and, thanks to the incredible work of the state and local partners as well, they were able to process this crime scene and accumulate an unbelievable amount of forensic evidence. When you walk the crime scene, there is little they did not think of. You know, when I was up there on the roof— Dan, do we have any idea? Do we have any idea why the roof wasn’t covered by security? Um, uh, I don’t, Megan, and as someone in the security space, it’s fairly easy for me to Monday morning quarterback anyone. I have done events with Charlie, quite a few as a matter of fact, and I’ve always found his security team to be very professional. I, you know, did a Turning Point event where I joked one time that they had better magnetometers than I saw in the Secret Service. Why in this case was the roof uncovered? I can’t say. I think in the future at political events, regardless of who’s speaking, there’s gonna be a significant change in security posture going forward. Mm-hmm. Back on the subject of the defendant and his boyfriend, the boyfriend Twiggs, is he still cooperating? Um, as of this point, the family and friends—we have a good number of people, including the romantic partner—who have been cooperating and continue to. That could change. Of course, we hope it doesn’t. It’s very beneficial to have these folks cooperating. It’s of note that pursuant to the press conference where we put out the photo of the suspect at the time and the video, and the reason we put out the video, I just— Um, I’ll answer your question, but this is important, too, and there’s a tie-in here. The reason we decided, and there’s a lot of second-guessing going on, and that’s important—Listen, this is a taxpayer-funded operation, the FBI. It’s not a private company. You have every right to question everything. You pay for it. But we have an explanation for everything. Nothing we did was by accident. You know, when we held that press conference that night, the reason we had the governor and everyone put out that video is we wanted to anchor the new photos we had released and were going to put out in front of a national primetime audience. We wanted to anchor it to the video so you understood why we were looking for this particular suspect. Now, to get back to your question about cooperation—pursuant to that, it was just a short time after, thankfully due to the work of all the partners involved in this, there were members of the suspect’s circle that recognized him and agreed. And he went and he turned himself in. Yeah, Cash said this morning his dad recognized him. Yeah, yeah, and that was due to the work of these folks. And again, this is—No time for dopey, silly, victory laps. None of that stuff matters. You know, this is a serious crime that’s had repercussions and will have repercussions moving forward that are gonna be very dramatic for political dialogue in the country. But yeah, that decision was not an easy one. You don’t want to put out a picture and say, “Well, that picture came out earlier.” Yeah, but it didn’t come out earlier to a primetime audience of potentially 5 to 10 million people. I was sitting in the command post, Megan, with our entire team, which was significant. There were a large number of people there, from state and local officials to our FBI team, to people who were gonna manage the media—because the media can be your friend and was our friend in this investigation. I said to them when they came in, “You know, someone’s sitting next to this guy in a restaurant right now.” And when they walked back in and we had an identifier, I mean, to speak in jargon—we had an identifier on it—I don’t want to say exactly what they said, but when they walked back in the CP, and I looked at Cash and there was just this sense of relief… We, um, you know, it was only 33 hours later— Were you there, Dan, when he was brought in? No, he was brought in to—it was about, forgive me if I’m not exactly correct, but it was about 3 hours from where we were in Orem, in that whole Provo area. It was a different place down near St. George. So he was brought in there, so we had to transport him back. We just wanted to be sure, obviously, Megyn—you know this—we didn’t care where, as long as it was a law enforcement facility and we could appropriately take a suspect, at the time, into custody. We were not particularly concerned where, we just wanted to get him up. And now, I gotta ask you this, and you know why—but is he being watched so that there can be no suicide? Yeah. That’s what we’ve been told from local officials who have custody over him right now, that he is, in fact, on watch. That is obviously gonna remain a concern. Is there—did he buy this gun legally? Uh, I don’t want to say right now how he acquired the gun. But I will say, there were some significant concerns expressed by the suspect in the case about the gun and retrieving the gun. The reason I bring this up is, again, I’m here with you in every effort to share what we can appropriately share, so that information vacuums aren’t filled. There was some conversation I heard on a news channel, I forget which one I was listening to, about retrieving the weapon. And there was some confusion where, I believe, one of the hosts thought it was a retrieval from an FFL, a firearms dealer. That’s not what happened. The digital comms traffic that we have, and the concerns the suspect in this case was expressing, was retrieving the firearm from the crime scene, not from a firearms dealer. It was from the crime scene. Well, that—So—But that’s another thing that people are confused about, because Cash said that they found his—what we presume was his screwdriver—on the top of the building, and they found his DNA on it, leading many of them to believe that he had disassembled the gun when he jumped off the roof. But then, it appears when you guys found it in the woods, it was assembled. So can you provide any clarity on that? Yeah, and I was a little hesitant in a media appearance this morning to go into specifics on especially the video and where the gun was. And there’s a reason. Again, we only want to be transparent here. Yeah, just tell us what you can. The suspect not cooperating is—The video is obviously grainy, and as folks in the video space know, we have a number of really excellent tools in our lab. They’re doing amazing work, and they’ve been up and handling this for days now. But the video’s very grainy, and I want to be very clear. I’ve already seen some online shows— Yeah, I can see it on the screen now. You’ll see it’s a grainy video. Now, I’ve been on that roof in that corner, and when you see the camera in the distance away, it’s clearly not the best video. Now, let me just go back to what I said before, and I’ll get into the gun. Don’t let me forget the gun portion. Okay. I just want to watch this for a second. You’ll see here—Yeah, there’s a couple different, what we call—All right, there you go. So we see there’s some working theory. He’s getting down—For our listening audience, he’s getting down off the roof. He hangs for a couple seconds, he drops to the grass—Yes—and then he runs. Go ahead, Dan. Sorry, I forget sometimes there’s an audio on. I should be better. This is a former media person. I forget there’s an audio component on. But watch it. I got you. The camera is quite far away. It’s not the best camera to see exactly what happened to the gun. However, we have some working theories, and one of them is that he drops the firearm fully assembled onto the ground and then retrieves it. Now, the firearm—we’re processing in conjunction with our ATF friends—but the firearm was wrapped in a towel. And as the director said this morning on a cable news appearance, the towel, we did get a pretty strong forensic DNA hit. So that’s the only reason. Again, I don’t want anyone to speculate, “Oh, they’re not sure where the gun is.” Oh, no. We just have to be careful what we put out, and the video is not the best quality. And for no other reason than it’s—the video was—That camera, where it is, is not a crime scene camera. It’s a camera designed for just general surveillance on campus. And when you’re there, you’ll see it’s a distance away. But I missed my—I want to wrap this point up because it’s really important. You may fairly enough, as taxpaying citizens again, say, “Well, you know, during the presser, why release grainy video?” Because that is the crime scene there. That’s where we have evidence of a suspect who shot from that location. We have a suspect who appears to be on camera there fleeing the location. And we wanted to anchor that—this is really important—to the photos we were releasing. What we didn’t want is, we release a photo and people say, “Well, why? Why that particular photo?” We thought the video—the quality’s okay but not great, the pixels are not great—we wanted to be sure we could anchor it to, “Here’s why this particular suspect is of interest to us right now.”
