Tyler James Robinson is facing a murder charge in the shooting death of a University of Utah student named Trayvon Martin. He is also charged with conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder in the death of another student in a shooting that took place in a public place.
00:04:04.380For indigency, but that is my intent, Mr. Skortis, and I thank you for being here.
00:04:10.580So, Mr. Robinson, you have a right to an attorney.
00:04:14.020If you cannot afford one, the court can appoint an attorney to represent you.
00:04:18.160I have reviewed your declaration of financial status and find that you are indigent.
00:04:23.440I'm provisionally appointing a Rule 8 qualified attorney to represent you on your case, Mr. Robinson.
00:04:31.580Along with their filing of their appearance of counsel, the assigned attorneys must file declarations with the court that outline their qualifications under Rule 8 and Rule 8C, I'm sorry, under Rule 8B and Rule 8C, for counsel appointment in a case where death may be a sentencing option.
00:04:51.260Mr. Robinson, I'm wondering that those declarations be filed prior to the next hearing date, which is set for September 29th at 10 a.m.
00:05:01.460Mr. Robinson, I also wish to inform you of your rights against self-incrimination.
00:05:07.200Anything that you say in court today could be used against you, and we want to protect your constitutional rights.
00:05:14.140Mr. Robinson, at this time, you will remain in custody without bail.
00:05:19.180Mr. Skortis, is there any other points that you wish to address?
00:05:59.860I have reviewed the pretrial protective order and will be grant issuing this pretrial protective order in favor of Erica Kirk.
00:06:09.280Is there any other business that we need to address today, counsel?
00:06:12.340Just for the court's information, we did file just recently, within the last few minutes, a notice of intent to seek the death penalty that was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.
00:06:24.120So that should be in the court's file.
00:06:28.460Lastly, I would just indicate to the court and to, at this point, Mr. Robinson, that we are prepared to collect all of the discovery in this matter and get that turned over to the defense as soon as possible.
00:06:40.940Rule 16 requires us to provide what we have relied on in charging the information and bringing these charges within five days once it's requested.
00:06:52.080So that will be prepared to disseminate to the defense as soon as possible.
00:06:59.260Mr. Robinson, what I also want to do is you have the right to have the charges read that you stand charged of.
00:07:07.420And I wish to read those to you at this time.
00:07:10.940Mr. Robinson, for count one, aggravated murder, a capital felony in violation of Utah code annotated 76-5-202,
00:07:33.740in that on September 10, 2025, in Utah County, the defendant, Tyler James Robinson, intentionally or knowingly caused the death of Charlie Kirk under the following circumstances.
00:07:47.400The defendant knowingly created a great risk of death to another individual other than Charlie Kirk and the defendant.
00:07:54.120Notice conviction of this offense may carry the death penalty or pursuant to Utah code 76-3-207.7,
00:08:03.660a mandatory term of imprisonment for life without parole or an indeterminate term of not less than 25 years,
00:08:14.860Victim targeting enhancement in violation of Utah code annotated 76-3-203.14, sub 2.
00:08:25.780Tyler James Robinson intentionally selected Charlie Kirk because of Tyler James Robinson's belief or perception regarding Charlie Kirk's political expression.
00:08:35.860Notice, if the trier of fact finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim targeting enhancement applies,
00:08:42.860the sentencing judge or the board of pardons and parole shall consider the defendant's selection of the victim as an aggravating factor.
00:08:51.240Violent offense committed in the presence of a child aggravating factor.
00:08:55.360The sentencing judge or the board of pardons and parole shall consider as an aggravating factor in their deliberations
00:09:02.080that the defendant committed a violent criminal offense in the presence of a child.
00:37:33.380What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you.
00:37:42.380And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate in January 6th.
00:37:49.380You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate.
00:37:52.380You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward.
00:37:56.380I'm not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade.
00:38:12.380Take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country and the state and citizens of California.
00:38:18.380We are bringing historic reform, historic.
00:38:22.380But all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat.
00:39:51.380Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented.
00:40:05.380She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transit transitioning genders.
00:40:14.380This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views.
00:40:25.380In one conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robert Robinson said was a stupid venue for the event.
00:40:39.380Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.
00:40:43.380Robinson's father reported that when his wife showed him the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he agreed that it looked like their son.
00:40:53.380He also believed that the rifle that police suspected the shooter used matched a rifle that was given to his son as a gift.
00:41:03.380As a result, Robinson's father contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle.
00:41:12.380However, Robinson's father spoke on the phone with Robinson.
00:41:16.380Robinson implied that he planned to take his own life.
00:41:21.380Robinson's parents were able to convince him to meet at their home.
00:41:25.380As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail and just wanted to end it.
00:41:34.380When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil and the guy, referring to Charlie Kirk, spreads too much hate.
00:41:44.380Within 24 hours of Mr. Kirk's shooting, we had the guy that does the podcast for the war room and another guy who's denied the Sandy Hook shootings say we're at war.
00:41:57.380Now, how on earth, and I do believe it's a smaller number, but it's a number that has an influence.
00:42:02.380How on earth are we deescalating the situation with the tensions as high as they were last week with going out and saying we're at war?
00:42:14.380I'm not asking you to respond to this question.
00:42:16.380I'm just saying that there are people out here on our side of the aisle that still need to look in the mirror.
00:42:21.380Even if you agree that it's a lower number, bad is bad no matter how many numbers they are.
00:42:27.380And that kind of rhetoric and that kind of mobilization makes your job more difficult and puts us in a position where we're not being as productive as you want the FBI and state and local law enforcement to be.
00:42:42.380That's Tom Tillis right there wrapping up today at the hearing with going after war room and Alex Jones, me personally and Alex Jones, the guy that does the podcast.
00:42:53.380Worm. Yo, you I'm sure you know this, but you should understand this podcast is what drove you from public office because you epitomize why this country is in the shape it's in.
00:43:05.740You're one of these gutless liver lip Republicans to sit there and and you raise money from people.
00:43:13.660You say you're going to do everything. You get there. You don't do anything.
00:43:16.520You're just a blowhard. And now you've been run out of here and run out of the Senate.
00:43:20.620And your name will soon be forgotten. Right.
00:43:24.540They'll have some in the in Wikipedia.
00:43:27.260You'll be listed as a guy's United States senator and did absolutely nothing besides try to thwart President Trump.
00:43:33.840And yes, we're at war. And when I look in the mirror every day, one thing I see is a guy that ran Tom Tillis out of out of office.
00:43:40.660And I feel damn good about it. OK, brother, your your your group hug you gave them.
00:43:46.420And we didn't play the whole thing. It was sickening. No, we have to escalate.
00:43:52.180And it's not towards violence. Have you seen anybody in Charlie Kirk's arena?
00:43:56.700Have you seen anybody on the right go burn down anything, go threaten anybody?
00:44:01.280No, but we're going to get to the bottom and destroy this.
00:44:03.780I gave a talk to the CPI guys last night. That's Senator DeMitt and Mark Meadows kind of umbrella organization for conservatives like conservative leaders.
00:44:13.260And I said, this is an inflection point that those that have just been going along to get along have gotten us here because they haven't stood up.
00:44:22.660And now you see with what happened at Charlie Kirk and as bad as is presented in Utah, I'm not buying all of it.
00:44:31.540I'm particularly not buying those text messages. It just seems too stilted, too, too much like a too much like a script, actually a bad script.
00:44:40.340So we've got to get to the bottom of it. You have to designate these groups.
00:44:44.740You heard you heard Aaron Saburium from Free Beacon.
00:44:49.860He's got this piece that you should read just about all the other tweets that were out there.
00:44:54.360Right. That seem amazingly prescient for Charlie Kirk coming to, quite frankly, a college and not a lot of people know about a university and not a lot of people know about.
00:45:03.820Although I think it's the largest university, bigger than the University of Utah or Brigham Young in the state of Utah.
00:45:10.900You've got to get to the bottom of these groups. You've got to get to the bottom of Antifa.
00:45:14.260You've got to see if there's any connections to Butler. We've got a whole lot of work to do.
00:45:18.320Right. A whole lot of work to do. And no, I am not buying the I'm not buying the the script that was in the text messages.
00:45:26.160I think so much more has got to be done about this. I think the parents ought to be brought in.
00:45:29.720I think everybody in the discourse channel, the roommate. What do you mean? The roommate sounds like some roommate sounds like their accessory.
00:45:36.240I'm not turning him in. He did this text message hours and hours before.
00:45:40.540Why is that any different than the Boston the Boston bomber where the four roommates went to prison because they didn't turn him in as soon as it came up on the as soon as it came up on the on the television.
00:45:51.400So there's a whole lot of information we need. And and we're going to keep the tip of the band net ready to kind of nuge people along to make sure we get it.
00:45:59.720And if that's called escalation, Tom, tell us this is why you are being shoved off the stage.
00:46:05.800You got yanked off the stage, bro. We sent you home. You and your staff. Right.
00:46:11.660Guys like you, losers like you, they've just stood in the way is the reason the country's in the shape it's in.
00:46:18.640It's the reason that guys like heroes like Charlie Kirk put their life on the line every day when they go in these cesspools called colleges because you have not stood up.
00:46:28.460You have not done your job. You have not thwarted this when you had the opportunity to escalate.
00:46:33.900You damn right. We're going to escalate short commercial break.
00:46:37.180We're going to return in the war room. Just a moment.
