<p>FBI Director Kash Patel went toe to toe with several Democrats during a Tuesday hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, clashing with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) over the release of files related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.</p>
<p>Raskin, who led the second impeachment hearings during President Donald Trump&#8217;s first term, heavily suggested that Patel was stonewalling Democrats in their persistent efforts to make the Epstein files public — efforts in which they showed no interest while former President Joe Biden was in office — and that he was likely doing so at Trump&#8217;s request. Patel repeatedly reminded Raskin that numerous court orders prevented him from simply releasing the files.</p>

<p>&#8220;You were sworn in as director more than 200 days ago. Now the Black Book is under your direct control. So why haven’t you released the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls?&#8221; Raskin demanded.</p>
<p>Patel pointed to the multiple court orders and a previous agreement Epstein had reached with federal prosecutors, noting that the disgraced financier had been free for 12 years and previous administrations — including former President Barack Obama&#8217;s — had done nothing to move his case forward.</p>
<p>&#8220;Has anyone released more information on Epstein than I have? Did Comey? Did Wray?&#8221; Patel asked, and Raskin insisted that it wasn&#8217;t enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you just release the entire file as you promised to do?&#8221; Raskin asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I literally just told you, there are multiple federal court orders, I’m not going to break the law to satisfy your curiosity,&#8221; Patel shot back. &#8220;You didn&#8217;t join us when we filed in the courts to release the court orders. You could&#8217;ve. You have lawyers. You could&#8217;ve shown up. You didn&#8217;t do that!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That’s a tiny fraction of the material we’re talking about,&#8221; Raskin insisted.</p>
<p>Patel pointed out that if the information had not been released, Raskin could not possibly know how much information there was. &#8220;How do you know that? Have you seen everything?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s all misdirection,&#8221; Raskin claimed as his time expired.</p>

<p>Daily Wire host Isabel Brown is set to speak at a Turning Point USA event at Colorado State University — an event where the campus organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, was initially scheduled to appear before his assassination in Utah on Wednesday, September 10.</p>
<p>Brown, an alumna of CSU herself and the former TPUSA president for that campus’ chapter, said that the organization had declined to cancel the planned event in the wake of Kirk’s murder — but had instead booked a larger venue and forged ahead with what quickly became a vigil for their late founder.</p>

<p>“Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak tomorrow at my alma mater, Colorado State University, where in 2018 he came to speak to our @TPUSA chapter while I was then-chapter president,” Brown posted via X. “He was SO excited to be back in Fort Collins, and two weeks ago was texting me links to local media coverage about his return to campus.”</p>
<p>When Kirk was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University a week prior, however, Brown said that the expectation was that TPUSA would cancel the Colorado State University event.</p>
<p>“Everyone expected the students to cancel their event,” she continued. “Instead, they moved it — to the largest venue on campus as a place for people across Colorado &amp; the West to mourn Charlie&#8217;s life and honor his legacy. I am humbled and honored to have been asked to return to CSU to speak tomorrow at Charlie&#8217;s vigil.”</p>
<p>“This will be one of the hardest events I’ve ever done, but easily the most important by a mile,” she concluded. “See you tomorrow, Rams. God Bless You.”</p>
<p>Brown offered her thoughts on Kirk’s passing — and his legacy — in a lengthy post still pinned to her X profile.</p>

Isabel Brown To Speak At TPUSA Event Honoring Charlie Kirk

<p>Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused to let it go when CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins claimed that no one could really speak to the motive in last week’s assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.</p>
<p>Cruz joined Collins to discuss the still-unfolding case after charges were officially filed against suspected assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, and text messages between Robinson and his live-in boyfriend — who is transitioning to identify as a woman — were released to the public.</p>
<p>“We don&#8217;t have a motive yet. We don&#8217;t know yet. We&#8217;re waiting,” Collins said, noting that several officials have spoken about the shooting and the subsequent arrest, as well as a number of interviews with people who knew Robinson.</p>
<p>“Of course we know. Come on. &#8216;We don&#8217;t have a motive yet. We know we don&#8217;t have a motive yet.&#8217; Really, that&#8217;s CNN&#8217;s position? He happened to fire the gun in celebration?!” Cruz pushed back.</p>

<p>Collins continued to claim that the motive was unknown, and Cruz continued to push back as the segment progressed.</p>
<p>“With all due respect. You know exactly what I&#8217;m saying. I&#8217;m not arguing with you politically. I&#8217;m saying that law enforcement has not put a specific motive. You know that there&#8217;s a difference of what they&#8217;re putting in a legal argument and what you&#8217;re talking about,” Collins argued.</p>

<p>As Cruz noted, the district attorney had said that Robinson had been radicalized with far-Left ideology. Robinson himself had allegedly told his roommate and boyfriend that he’d shot Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred. Some hatred can&#8217;t be negotiated out.”</p>

‘That’s CNN’s Position?’: Ted Cruz Dismantles Kaitlan Collins Over Motive In Kirk Assassination

<p>Montel Williams attempted to paint suspected assassin Tyler Robinson as an emotionally-driven “love-torn child” who felt like killing conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was his only option.</p>
<p>Williams joined host Abby Phillip and a panel of other commentators on CNN’s “NewsNight” to discuss the still unfolding story about Robinson, his gender-transitioning live-in boyfriend, and the text messages the two exchanged after Robinson allegedly shot Kirk at Utah Valley University — and he argued that Robinson likely shot Kirk out of desperation because of his views on the relationship in which he was involved.</p>

<p>“There are people who are trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a Right thing, and what we’re really talking about — hear me, because I&#8217;m going to throw you when I say this, we&#8217;re talking about a love-torn child, a kid,” Williams said despite the fact that Robinson is 22 years old. “This is probably his first real relationship. And somebody was disparaging the person that he loved.”</p>
<p>“He sat on that building for 30 minutes before he took the shot. Why do you wait until the first word trans came up? Then he took the shot,” Williams said, arguing that Robinson had been listening to Kirk’s event live and had waited until the first mention of the word “transgender” intentionally. “I think he could hear it.”</p>
<p>Williams went on to say that he believed the shooting had been rooted in emotion rather than politics, failing to acknowledge that the two can indeed intersect. “I think he also — I don’t believe he was motivated politically. I think this was motivated emotionally. I think this was an emotionally stunted person who literally, when I say it this way, just hear me, tried to defend his significant other, not trying to defend some ideology.”</p>
<p>Williams’ assessment came just hours after ABC reporter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abc-reporter-describes-suspects-texts-confessing-to-charlie-kirk-assassination-as-very-touching">Matt Gutman</a> took a wave of backlash for saying that the texts between Robinson and his boyfriend — which appeared to include an admission of guilt as well as detailed information about the weapon he allegedly used and where he left it — were “very touching” because Robinson also used the phrase “my love” when addressing his partner.

Montel Williams Tries To Paint Suspected Kirk Assassin As ‘Love-Torn Child’

<p>ABC News reporter Matt Gutman offered an explanation and an apology after taking an immense amount of public backlash for his on-air description of a text exchange between suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, and his live-in boyfriend, who is transitioning to identify as a woman.</p>
<p>Gutman took to X to share a statement clarifying his position, saying, &#8220;Yesterday I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk — a man who dedicated his life to public dialogue — and the personal, disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County Attorney at the press conference.&#8221;</p>

<p>Following the publication of the text exchange — in which Robinson referred to the boyfriend as &#8220;my love&#8221; while appearing to confess to the murder of the Turning Point USA founder and give detailed information about the weapon he&#8217;d used and then hidden — Gutman had commented on the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abc-reporter-describes-suspects-texts-confessing-to-charlie-kirk-assassination-as-very-touching">very touching</a>&#8221; nature of some of the texts.</p>
<p>After remarking on the level of detail included in the texts with regard to the murder weapon, Gutman said at the time, &#8220;It was very touching, in a way, that I think many of us didn’t expect — a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him ‘my love.’ And ‘I want to protect you, my love.'&#8221;</p>

ABC Reporter Apologizes After Calling Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Texts ‘Very Touching’

<p>ABC News reporter Matt Gutman described the texts sent from suspected assassin Tyler Robinson to his trans-identifying boyfriend — in which he appears to confess to murdering conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — as &#8220;very touching.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gutman was reporting on the text exchange, which was released on Tuesday by authorities, when he commented on the fact that despite confessing to murdering someone in front of hundreds of college students — and putting their lives in danger as well — Robinson seemed to really care about his partner.</p>

<p>Gutman began by saying that he wasn&#8217;t sure &#8220;if we have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon — where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it — but also it was very touching, in a way, that I think many of us didn’t expect — a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him &#8216;my love.&#8217; And &#8216;I want to protect you, my love.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case,&#8221; Gutman continued. &#8220;And then, on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting and, as Pierre said, riveting press conference.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gutman continued in the same vein a short time later, adding, &#8220;It’s heartbreaking on so many levels, Kyra. Obviously, Charlie Kirk was murdered brutally in front of a crowd of thousands &#8230;[O]n the other hand, there is this duality of a very a portrait of a very human person, a very human experience from this entire family &#8230; the kid who had got a 34 out of 36 on the ACT, who had a 4.0.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a press conference in which we’ve read text messages that are A, so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating and yet, on the other hand, so touching — right — with the suspect reaching out to his roommate, who was allegedly his boyfriend, who we understand, you know, identified as male at birth, now identifies as female,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the terminology he used, he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him ‘my love.’ ‘My reason for doing this is to protect you,’ you know, but also asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law enforcement. So there’s this, this heartbreaking duality that we’re seeing very tragically playing out here.&#8221;</p>

A week after our friend Charlie Kirk’s brutal assassination, the questions keep piling up: Who radicalized his killer?  Why did Democrats in Congress “boo” when prayers were offered? And why is the media working overtime to cover for the Leftist rhetoric that inspired this violence?

Today we sit down with the beautiful Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, longtime friend of Isabel and Charlie Kirk. She’s the one and only former Turning Point USA media personality turned sitting Member of Congress. Together, we unpack the urgent need for a strong legislative response to this unacceptable political violence.

Rep. Luna reveals details on a new federal investigation into the groups funding, training, and encouraging this radicalism and explains how Charlie’s murder echoes the tragedies of RFK, JFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
