**Charlie Kirk** (0:03)
My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible, have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

**Charlie Kirk** (1:17)
All right. Welcome to our daily recap episode. It was the fourth day of the preliminary hearing of the State of Utah versus Tyler Robinson, and it was a absolute doozy. I think it was the most jam-packed day so far.
**Blake** (1:33)
Oh, by a mile. More than the other days combined. Yeah.
**Charlie Kirk** (1:37)
There was a lot.
**Blake** (1:37)
Five times over. There was a lot that could happen. This is a lot of what we were building to. The last few days, I guess on the first day, we saw the footage four different times on campus. That was basically a new thing, but other than that, it was a lot of stuff we had seen before, a lot of stuff we knew at least was in the record. This is the first day, I feel, where we got a very large amount of new information, either images of things that we'd only heard stated existed or, in the case of Lance Twiggs, we got actual testimony from a person we had not heard from before. We didn't get all of it. There were a lot of redactions. The defense fought very hard to redact even more of it. Thankfully, a lot of that was dialed back by Judge Graff.
And so we got a tremendous amount of information stuff we did not know before. And we want to dive right into it.
**Charlie Kirk** (2:33)
The top lines are, just to summarize it, and we'll go into depth on these things. We found out that there was DNA recovered from the rifle, the cartridges and Dremel tool, all positively matched to Tyler Robinson. Okay? Twiggs, Lance Twiggs, referred to as Luna, I believe by Tyler Robinson.
Video testimony, and it was devastating honestly for the defense. It contains an admission of guilt and much, much more. Timelines established. The defense attorney, what was his name? Burt?
**Blake** (3:09)
Michael Burt, I believe.
**Charlie Kirk** (3:10)
Michael Burt, who, did you say he once?
**Blake** (3:12)
He was once a defense attorney far back in the day for the Lyle Menendez. That's the Menendez brothers. Some of you older viewers may remember.
**Charlie Kirk** (3:21)
Yeah, they killed their parents. So that's his, people know him from that case.
**Blake** (3:25)
And he successfully got a mistrial on the first go-round of that case.
**Charlie Kirk** (3:30)
So this guy attacks, I mean, a completely inappropriate attack targeting of the Kirk family for wanting to see the enhanced video of Tyler Robinson on campus. Remember, there was that back and forth in day two that bled into day three. And they wanted to see the enhanced version. And we call it the John Madden style version where they zoom in, they circle it.
They want to see that. And then this Michael Burt guy just starts lobbing a bunch of misrepresentations about the Kirk family, about Erika. We're going to get into that.
Jeff Nyman, total hero today, by the way. He successfully argued on behalf of the Kirk family to get the Twiggs video, much of it restored, a pretty massive reversal from the original ruling last night. The indication was that a lot of it was going to be redacted. And then the judge went in our direction significantly. So massive, massive developments today. So let's get into it. We have some great clips. Then we've got Graham Allen, who's going to be joining us. And then once again, Andrea Burkhart in the second half of this hour. Where do you want to start, Blake? Which clip?
