Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Tyler Robinson’s Arraignment Hearing

At Tuesday’s court hearing, Tyler James Robinson appeared in custody without counsel, with the county working to appoint representation. The judge reminded him of his rights against self-incrimination and denied bail. Prosecutors announced they had filed notice of intent to seek the death penalty and confirmed a pre-trial protective order in favor of Erica Kirk. The state committed to providing discovery materials promptly.

Robinson was formally charged with multiple felonies, including aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk, firearm discharge causing serious injury, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. Enhancements include victim targeting based on political expression and committing violent acts in the presence of a child, both considered aggravating factors for sentencing. The charges carry potential penalties ranging from life without parole to the death penalty.

The court scheduled the next hearing—a waiver hearing—for September 29 at 10 a.m. via WebEx, with expectations that Robinson will have counsel by then.

Sibarium: FBI Investigating Social Media Accounts That Appeared To Indicate Foreknowledge of Kirk Assassination

Steve Bannon criticized Utah authorities for mishandling the custody of Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk. Bannon questioned why Robinson had not spoken to an attorney in four days, why his parents hadn’t secured counsel, and why Utah taxpayers should bear the cost of a public defender in a death penalty case. He also raised concerns about courthouse security, arguing the state should demonstrate control rather than delay proceedings.

Bannon then introduced Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium, who shared exclusive FBI-related reporting. According to Sibarium, investigators are probing several social media accounts that posted ominous messages ahead of the killing—some referencing September 10 directly and others hinting at Kirk’s death. While some posts could be coincidences, their volume and specificity triggered serious FBI scrutiny. Many of the accounts appeared tied to LGBT online subcultures, including groups that embrace violent rhetoric, with at least one account connected to Robinson’s roommate on TikTok.

Sibarium noted that these radical corners of the internet normalize morbid fantasizing about killing political opponents, creating an environment ripe for radicalization. He referenced prior cases linking fringe groups, such as the "transgender rationalist” cult Zysians, to violent crimes, suggesting a broader pattern of extremist subcultures crossing into real-world violence.

The discussion underscored both the procedural controversies in Robinson’s case and the deeper cultural issue of online radicalization. Bannon framed Sibarium’s reporting as critical to exposing the "scripted” feel and unanswered questions surrounding Kirk’s assassination.

Michael Patrick Leahy: Founder Of ‘Armed Queers For Salt Lake City’, Under FBI Scrutiny Following Kirk Assassination, Is Transgender Immigrant From Iran

Pt.1:

Steve Bannon and Michael Patrick Leahy erupted over the assassination, blending disbelief, moral outrage, and a call-to-arms. Bannon mocked the shooter’s alleged last-minute texts (worrying about Grandpa’s rifle), calling them absurd and proof the narrative feels "scripted.” He focused on the chilling banalities — a killer texting about family and guns while the world watches — and disbelieved media sympathy (the teary ABC reporter), demanding video timestamps, forensic proof, and that every person connected (roommate, parents, handlers) be hauled in and questioned.

Both men warned the murder reflects deeper social rot: online subcultures that normalize violence, radical leftist or "armed queer” networks, and a poisoned public-school culture driven by DEI and SEL. Bannon blasted Utah’s leadership and accused transplants and liberal influence of eroding Mormon, family-centered values; Leahy echoed the need to reform schools and expand school choice after teachers’ pro-violence comments.

They urged aggressive investigations into links between the shooter and fringe internet communities, and into local officials (naming "Cox”) who they say pushed harmful agendas in schools. The segment closed as a mobilizing appeal: preserve Charlie Kirk’s legacy, expose cultural enemies, and convert outrage into political action — including targeting officials in upcoming elections.
