We'll start with the news of the day. The prosecution announced the charges against the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk. The prosecutor of Provo County in Utah, Jeffrey Gray, presented the charges in front of dozens of reporters. Among the charges against 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson are aggravated homicide, illegal discharging of a firearm, serious injuries, two charges of obstruction of justice, two charges of witness manipulation, and a violent crime committed in the presence of a minor. testigos y un delito violento cometido en presencia de un menor.

1:38

que quedará detenido sin derecho a fianza. Las acusaciones de manipulación de testigos se basan en que Robinson le to bail. Witnesses' accusations of manipulation are based on the fact that Robinson had told his roommate to keep silent if the police questioned him and to erase the messages with incriminating evidence. The investigators also gathered key evidence. They found a rifle with antifascist messages engraved found after the shooting. Now, how did Robinson act specifically after the crime?

2:11

According to the FBI, he has confirmed that the gun had Robinson's DNA on the trigger, on the shot guns and on the non-shot guns, in addition to the DNA found in the towel used to wrap the rifle. The suspect threw the gun in a woody area. Now, Attorney Gray revealed that on September 11,

2:31

Robinson had gone with his parents to the sheriff's office to turn himself in. His parents have said that after seeing the photos of the suspect spread by the FBI, they noticed that he looked like his son. They explained that in the last year, Robinson had become quite political and was leaning to the left in favor of LGBT rights and that he began a relationship with his roommate, who is a biological man. But there is more, because according to Gray, Robinson confessed to his parents that he had

3:06

shot Kirk because, according to his own words, that guy spreads too much hatred and that there was too much evil in the world. He also confirmed that he himself had been the one who recorded the messages in the bullets. One of his messages said, hey fascists, catch this. The roommate who has been collaborating with the authorities said he received a message from Robinson to look for a note. That note was under the keys of his computer and that note said, quote, I had the opportunity to eliminate Charlie Kirk and I'm going to do it.

3:47

In another message, he had written that I had had enough of his hatred. Attorney Gray explained that Robinson told his partner that he had planned the attack against Kirk for more than a week and that he had also advised him

4:02

not to talk to the press and get a lawyer. To finish, Gray also clarified that all these charges are allegations and that Robinson should still face a trial with a jury. Now, in parallel to this, this morning, Tuesday, the FBI Director Cash Patel was declaring before the Senate. And in one of the revelations he had in the committee, it was that more than 20 people would be involved

4:34

and are being investigated around the Kirk shooting. These more than 20 people were on the server of the Discord platform, which is where Robinson participated. Patel has warned that they are under investigation and that they could have even been more involved. What did they know about Robinson's plans?

4:57

The suspect participated in this Discord platform and now the FBI is analyzing if there was a wider network behind this crime. Patel emphasized that they are looking for evidence that can be used legally in a trial. Discord is a chat application that is generally used for video games, but it also allows you to communicate through private servers.

5:21

Patel revealed that Robinson communicated with other people on Discord. The FBI director said that those conversations included more than 20 participants and that all of them are also under investigation. In fact, a day before, Patel had already told Fox News that a text message from Robinson could have revealed the motive behind the suspect. The FBI director revealed that investigators have digital evidence and testimonies

5:53

that show how the suspect in the Kirk murder expressed his intention to kill him. Patel said that the police seized several electronic devices, including laptops, in del tiroteo. Una prueba clave es este intercambio de mensajes de texto donde Robinson escribió que tenía la oportunidad de acabar con Charlie Kirk y que lo haría. Y cuando le preguntaron por qué, respondió que hay odios que no se pueden negociar. Charlie Kirk, comentarista, conservador y cofundador de Turning Point USA, was murdered on September 10th while speaking in front of students

6:47

at the University of Utah Valley. Robinson, 22 years old, was identified and arrested as the alleged attacker. And among other revelations from the FBI Director, Kash Patel, also confirmed today Tuesday

7:00

that the agency is actively investigating more than 1,700 cases of domestic terrorism. Patel explained that there are 3,500 investigations of international terrorism and 1,700 of domestic terrorism. A large part, he said, corresponds to violent nihilist extremism, that is, people who commit violent acts motivated by a deep hatred towards society. According to Patel, this year the FBI opened 300% more cases compared to the same period last year. In his intervention, he also mentioned the 764 group, which is an

7:42

international network of online predators that has already been classified as an extremist group. The Tuesday meeting marked Patel's first hearing since he took office in January. The committee's president, Senator Chuck Grassley, expressed his support and praised Patel for starting the important work of, in his words, returning the FBI to its mission of making the law come to fruition.

8:09

But not all senators saw it that way. Democrat Dirk Durbin described the director as the most partisan FBI director in history and accused him of seriously damaging the institution, putting national security and public security at risk. And let's remember that yesterday some Trump administration officials

8:31

were talking about this topic of domestic terrorism. Yesterday, Vice President J.D. Vance, who was presenting the podcast The Charlie Kirk Show, along with different White House officials, including White House advisor Stephen Miller, had announced that they were going to investigate

8:52

progressive ONGs and other similar groups. Miller himself said that those networks that have organized riots, street violence, and online harassment campaigns constitute what he called a movement of domestic terrorism. disturbios, violencia callejera y campañas de acoso en internet constituyen lo que él calificó un movimiento de terrorismo doméstico. Y ahora pasamos al departamento de justicia en donde la fiscal general Pam Bondi ha anunciado que se van a procesar las amenazas contra personas conservadoras.

9:20

Bondi ha advertido que estas amenazas y los intentos of doxing against conservatives will be processed. She recalled that for too long the radical left has normalized threats, talked about murders and celebrated political violence. According to Bondi, that era is over. The Attorney General pointed out that disclosing personal data of conservative families, asking for murders

9:45

or using swatting are punishable crimes. And he underlined that freedom of expression protects ideas, debates and even dissent, but it will never protect violence. The murder of Kirk shook the political world. Congressman Tom Emmer said on a prayer vigil that it was not just an attack on a person, but on the traditional values of the United States, freedom of expression, public debate and the possibility of feeling without fear of physical reprisals. For his part, the President of the House, Mike Johnson, who led this vigil, assured that Kirk's voice will not be silenced. And the impact was

10:25

general because the Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, also said he was touched and described political violence as unacceptable. He asked for prayers for Kirk's family. Meanwhile, several Republicans, including Nancy Mays and Paul Gosar, asked a un comité especial para investigar el dinero, la influencia y el poder detrás de la izquierda radical. Las autoridades confirmaron que el asesino sospechoso es Tyler Robinson.

10:53

El gobernador de Utah, Spencer Cox, señaló que el crimen tuvo un móvil político. El subdirector del FBI, Dan Bongino, aseguró they are investigating possible accomplices and posts on social networks that could show prior knowledge of the murder. And as a result of this crime, the political climate is also changing because many leaders of the conservative area could stop taking action in the open. One of them is Ben Shapiro, the writer and founder of Daily Wire,

11:28

because he had thought that after this attempted murder of Trump and the crime against Kirk, probably the security-free political events would disappear for a while. The president of Students for Life of America, Kristen Hawkins, also remembered that like Kirk, she also debates in universities and said she hoped that now the events would be held indoors and with more security.

11:53

Although it will be difficult, she said that the first amendment should be protected and not to silence those conversations because that is what the murderer wanted. And now we move to to the White House area because today the President of the United States,

12:09

Donald Trump, traveled to the United Kingdom for a two-day state visit. There he will meet with King Charles and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump's last official visit to the United Kingdom was in 2019 during his first term

12:24

when Queen Elizabeth II received him at the Buckingham Palace. With this trip, Trump becomes the first American president to be invited twice by a British monarch. The official program will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, with a welcome ceremony at Winstour Castle, as the Buckingham Palace is under remodeling. First, the princes of Wales, William and Catherine, will receive the presidential couple.

12:51

Then, King Charles and Queen Camilla will give the formal welcome. After this ceremony, they will attend a lunch at the State Dining Room. Later, Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump, will place a floral wreath on the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II.

On Thursday, Trump will hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Stommer, followed by a business meeting and a press conference. empresarial y una conferencia de prensa. En esta delegación que lo acompañan está el secretario de estado Marco Rubio, el secretario del tesoro Scott Besant, el embajador Warren Stevens, el enviado especial Steve Whitkoff y la jefa de gabinete Susie Wiles. Y en otras noticias en torno al presidente Trump, el mandatario ha presentado una $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times. Trump accuses the newspaper and its reporters of defamation.

13:53

He says they wrote articles and a book during the 2024 election with bad intentions, designed to hurt him the most. The lawsuit also includes the Penguin Random House editorial that published that book. Until now, neither the New York Times nor Penguin have responded to the accusations. Trump announced the lawsuit on his social network Truth Social

14:16

and there he said that the New York Times became a loudspeaker of the radical left, and criticized that they publicly support Kamala Harris, the then candidate and vice president, something that according to him had never happened on the cover of the newspaper. The president assured that the newspaper lied about him, about his family, his business, the America First movement, MAGA

14:39

and even about the entire nation. In his words, he said that the New York Times has defamed and lied about me for too long and that's over now. Those were all the news today, Tuesday, September 16th. Thank you for joining us in this episode of Desde el Capitolio.
