The suspect arrested for this week's assassination of conservative voice Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson, is facing multiple charges, including a murder count that could bring on discussion of the death penalty.

The charges were announced Friday against Robinson, who did not have a previous criminal record, to include aggravated murder, felony discharge of a weapon causing serious bodily harm and obstruction of justice.

The official listing of the charges isn't expected until next week.

But it is the murder count that could result in an option for the death penalty, according to a report at the Washington Examiner.

Authorities said Robinson was arrested after family members called police, after he "either confessed or implied that he assassinated Kirk."

The Examiner explained, "Authorities said Robinson had become increasingly political in recent months. At one point, he argued with family members about Kirk at the dinner table, saying he was 'full of hate and spreading hate.' Robinson also mentioned Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University and objected to his presence on campus."

Robinson is accused of engraving political and gender-ideology messages on the bullet casings found in the gun.

And authorities noted that Robinson's roommate showed investigators Discord app messaging outlining what Robinson allegedly did with the murder weapon, a rifle found in a wooded area near the shooting scene.

The report said the messages involved "a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel."

"Antifascist" and "transgender" messages were found written on bullets in a gun discovered nearby after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a Utah school campus.

FBI agents said they found an older .30 caliber hunting rifle in the woods near the scene of the shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

And three unspent rounds were found in the rifle's magazine.

"All allegedly engraved with transgender and antifascist messages," according to a report at AOL.

Kirk was speaking at a free speech event when he was struck in the neck by a bullet. He collapsed immediately and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Robert Bohls, FBI agent, revealed the assassin jumped down from the roof of a building directly across from the rally and fled into the woods after gunning down the influencer.

Separate confirmation of the bullets "engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology" also came from RadarOnline.com.

That's significant has there have been several mass shootings inflicted by transgender ideology advocates in recent weeks and months.

The New York Post also confirmed the discovery of the rifle and the theme-engraved bullets, but the exact messaging remained undisclosed.

Online, a posting by influencer Steven Crowder sourced the details to an ATF email.

"The email included a screen shot from what appears to be an internal message describing a weapon and cartridges located by an ATF and other law enforcement near the scene of the Charlie Kirk shooting at Utah Valley State University," the posting said.

"On September 10, 2025, at approximately 12:24PM, Conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at the Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. Mr. Kirk was speaking at the University as part of the American Comeback Tour. Multiple SLC I and III agents responded immediately. The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus and surveillance video shows the suspect, jumping off and fleeing the area on foot," said the ATF.

"ATF and other law-enforcement located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. The location of the firearm appears to match the suspects route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology. An emergency trace has been submitted an ATF SLC is working leads generated by the trace. The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions. Upon completion of forensics, the firearm will be disassembled for additional importer information."

New video Tuesday reveals the horrifying moments immediately after 23-year-old Ukraine refugee Iryna Zarutska was stabbed by career criminal Decarlos Brown, Jr. on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina, and President Donald Trump released his own video calling for "vicious" crime-fighting efforts.

Author Hans Mahncke said of the new footage, "Here's the part of the Iryna Zarutska murder video they didn't show. She didn't die quickly. She was fully aware, desperately terrified, and suffering to the end. It is beyond heartbreaking."

Journalist Collin Rugg said the video "shows Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska looking up in horror, trying to process what had just happened to her after being stabbed.

"Zarutska was seen putting her face in her hands as she bled out. Heartbreaking."

Journalist Nick Sortor noted: "Not ONE PERSON helped her as she began bleeding out, before eventually dying. Absolutely SICKENING. These people should be ASHAMED of themselves."

President Donald Trump released his own video from the Oval Office Tuesday addressing the shocking murder of Zarutska.

"We have to respond with force and strength," Trump said. "We have to be vicious, just like they are. It's the only thing they understand."

"We cannot allow a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading destruction and death throughout our country."

During Tuesday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary slammed national news media outlets that have ignored coverage of the Zarutska slaying.

"Most shamefully of all the majority of the media decided that her murder was not worth reporting on because it does not fit a preferred narrative," Leavitt said.

"Many outlets in this room decided her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative. Many journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink trying to smear Daniel Penny for defending a subway car from a lunatic, but none of those reporters wrote stories about an actual murderer."

"Her death was entirely preventable. Decarlos Brown should never have been on that train that night. He should've been behind bars!"

"This is madness. Iryna should still be alive."

Leavitt also blasted Democrats for allowing people like Zarutska's killer to walk free.

"These reckless policies have turned too many of our American cities into hunting grounds for career criminals who mock our justice system, drain law enforcement resources, and wreak havoc on law-abiding citizens," she said.

"Here's the truth that every American must know: too many innocent people across the country continue to pay the price of the failed experiment known as cashless bail, that's been championed by the Democratic Party for years."

"Democrats in North Carolina and nationwide are consumed with pushing a woke soft on crime agenda, no matter how many innocent Americans suffer as a result."

"Instead of aggressively prosecuting and locking up violent criminals, the Democrat-backed cashless bail approach let these criminals roam free in our country to offend again and again."

The Justice Department filed a federal charge against Brown on Tuesday, one count of committing an act causing death on a mass-transportation system.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said: "Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream – her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people.

"I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable crime, and he will never again see the light of day as a free man."

The horrific slaughter of Ukraine refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte, North Carolina, train has now caught the attention of billionaire Elon Musk, who is slamming legacy media for their suppression of the white woman's murder by a black repeat offender, as well as district attorneys and judges "who enable murder, rape and robbery."

As WorldNetDaily reported Sunday, outrage exploded online as new video reveals graphic details of Decarlos Brown, 35, allegedly stabbing to death the 23-year-old Zarutska, after he had been previously arrested and released at least 14 times.

In a series of posts on his X platform Sunday and Monday, reacted to messages from others commenting on Zarutska's tragedy.

Xaviaer DuRousseau noted: "So let me get this straight … A bartender can go to prison for serving drinks to a drunk person if they drive and murder someone … but judges aren't accountable after letting a 14 TIME REPEAT OFFENDER murder a young woman?"

Musk responded: "Let's change the law. Between now and then, name and shame the DAs and judges who enable murder, rape and robbery.

"But especially shame those who funded the campaigns of the DAs and judges. That will make the biggest difference."

U.S. Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., said: "I'm going to introduce legislation to hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes.

"It's easy to release criminals when you're protected by an armed bailiff at all times. The rest of us aren't so lucky. Those 12+ judges that released Decarlos Brown Jr. should have their day in court too."

Musk replied that such legislation is "Sorely needed!"

Cultural commentator Amiri King posted a series of FBI statistics, as he noted: "You want to know something that SHOULD make you VERY uncomfortable?

"White people are victims of black violence at INSANELY disproportionate rates. It's not even close.

"Between 2017-2021, black-on-white violent incidents totaled ~2.38M. White-on-black totaled ~0.37M."

"A white person is 31 times more likely to be victimized by a black person than the other way around. Black people make up ONLY 13.6% of the American population. TELL ME WE AREN'T BEING HUNTED," King concluded.

"Did you know this?" Musk said to the public in reply. "These are just the facts as reported by the government. One can argue about what the solution may be, but the facts are accurate."

Musk also took aim at media giants ignoring the Zarutska murder, including the Associated Press, whom he has previously called "Associated Propaganda," as well as the New York Times which he is now calling "an utter lie."

Social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong noted: "Media manipulation 101: All they have to do to control a narrative is to never report on any stories that will flip their script.

"This is why it's so crucial to talk about the murder of Iryna Zarutska. Do not let her story be forgotten."

Musk replied: "As soon as anyone does the slightest bit of research beyond what the legacy (fka mainstream) news reports, the magnitude of legacy media lies is staggering.

"Do some research and it will feel like waking up from a fever dream."

Musk even reposted his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, in which he flayed legacy news media for its hard-left bias.

"The whole thing's very crazy. The media is incredibly partisan," Musk began. "Almost all the media is left-shifted."

"If you talk to somebody who gets all their information from, like, what I call legacy media, they're living in a different world. … It's like they're living in an alternate reality."

Vi Lyles, the Democrat mayor of Charlotte, actually praised media that did not broadcast surveillance video of Zarutska's slaying.

"The video of the heartbreaking attack that took Iryna Zarutska's life is now public," Lyles said.

"I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the footage out of respect for Iryna's family."

Even Wikipedia is considering completely deleting its entry titled: "Killing of Iryna Zarutska."

It posted a notice indicating: "An editor has nominated this article for deletion. You are welcome to participate in the deletion discussion, which will decide whether or not to retain it."

President Donald Trump called the suspect "a lunatic" who "just viciously stabbed" Zarutska.

"So there are evil people. We have to be able to handle that. If we don't handle that, we don't have a country," Trump said.

Outrage is exploding online as new video reveals graphic details of a black man who had been arrested at least 14 times allegedly slaughtering a white woman who had fled Ukraine for a peaceful life in America on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On Friday, the Charlotte Area Transit System released surveillance video of Aug. 22, the night 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was slain after she left her job working at a pizzeria.

"She ran from war in Ukraine. She came here for safety. And America FAILED her," wrote online journalist Benny Johnson.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to rage, with no resolution in sight.

With peace talks stalled, Russian drones recently targeted Ukrainian power infrastructure in both northern and southern regions, cutting electricity to approximately 60,000 people. In response, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy promised counterstrikes far beyond Russian's borders.

After three and a half years of war, questions linger about potential paths to peace, while concerns continue to mount over how much the American military should be involved. Last month, President Donald Trump said a peace deal with Russia would not include deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine's borders.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, a former UH-60 Black Hawk pilot and battalion commander, agrees with the president, telling Fox News "'boots on the ground' in Ukraine is not necessary."

WorldNetDaily spoke to Gaub in-depth to flesh out what is really happening right now in the Russia-Ukraine war – and America's involvement.

"Trump's primary leverage – one that he's been using lately – is economic," Gaub explained. "The key thing the U.S. can do is tie ourselves to Ukraine economically and help them use their own resources to build themselves up economically and rebuild their own country." By doing that, he said, the Eastern European country could rebuild its military and take a formidable stance against Russia.

"The challenge in this conflict is that Russia saw this coming for years and built an alliance and economic system to survive the inevitable sanctions," Gaub explained to WND. "Not only did he invest heavily in golds and silvers, but he also tied himself closely to China and Iran." As the retired Army officer explained, "Through these nations, he's still able to sell energy and fuel his economy and war industry."

Additionally, Gaub considers it "unfortunate" that "Trump has placed around himself some bad actors providing equally bad advice."

Despite these setbacks, it still appears only the weight of American influence could compel Vladimir Putin to change his course of action. "This takes time and there has to be some security guarantees in order to make this possible," said Gaub. "A calculated discussion about the use of intelligence assets – space and airborne – could enforce a no-fly zone, for example." But, he added, "To think you need to have U.S. troops patrolling some sort of demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine is absolutely ridiculous and should never happen."

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced that his agency would be "launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI [antidepressant] drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence."

The announcement came one day after the Aug. 27 mass shooting of children in a Minneapolis Catholic School. Kennedy specifically said HHS would investigate whether drugs taken by transgender mass-shooter Robin Westman played a role in his church attack, during which Westman murdered 2 children and wounded 18 other people, 15 of them children.

Immediately, the establishment media went into high gear defending both the controversial drugs and transgenders with headlines like this from MSNBC: "RFK Jr. is propagating a dangerous myth about mental health treatment and violence." And the Washington Post led its coverage with, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that psychiatric drugs may have played a role in the Minnesota Catholic school shooting – a statement widely criticized as unsupported by science." Likewise, Google's search AI is entirely dismissive of RFK Jr.'s commitment to research the obvious link, denigrating the HHS secretary as a conspiracist and skeptic, whose "decision to launch the investigation has drawn sharp criticism. Opponents argue he is using a tragedy to promote disinformation and attack a vulnerable population."

In reality: 1) Individuals identifying as transgender very commonly are prescribed antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs due to high levels of anxiety and depression stemming from their "gender dysphoria"; and 2) Putting people on a regimen of powerful cross-sex hormones in a vain attempt to change their gender – something that is scientifically impossible – is well known to create havoc in both body and mind.

Indeed, as summarized below, there is a shocking and near-total correlation between psychiatric medications – particularly so-called SSRI and SNRI antidepressants – and America's most infamous and gruesome mass shooters in recent decades.

PALM BEACH, Florida – Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse announced on Wednesday they're preparing their own list of high-profile names who allegedly sexually abused them, and one of the victims indicated Donald Trump was the pedophile's "biggest brag forever" when it came to friendship, though she did not suggest the president was among the perpetrators.

"Let me announce now," said Lisa Phillips, a model brought to Epstein's Caribbean island in 2000, "several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors and for survivors, no one else is involved. Stay tuned for more details on that."

"I'm demanding justice," Phillips added. "Congress must choose. Will you continue to protect predators? Or will you finally protect survivors?"

Another victim of Epstein's sexual abuse, Chauntae Davies, pointed out how Jeffrey would brag about being friends with fellow Palm Beacher Donald Trump.

"His biggest brag forever was that he was good friends with Donald Trump," Davies said. "He had an 8-by-10 framed picture of him on his desk, with the two of them."

"Epstein surrounded himself with the most powerful leaders of our country and the world."

"He abused not only me, but countless others and everyone seemed to look away. The truth is, Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag, actually."

Davies also mentioned former President Bill Clinton, saying: "I was just one of the many young women trapped in his (Epstein's) orbit. I was even taken on a trip to Africa with former president Bill Clinton and other notable figures. In those moments, I realized how powerless I was. If I spoke out, who would believe me? Who would protect me?"

"One thing is certain, unless we learn from this history, monsters like Epstein will rise again. There are files, government files that hold the truth about Epstein … ."

When asked about the Epstein case in the Oval Office Wednesday, President Trump said: "This is a Democrat hoax that never ends."

"From what I understand, thousand of pages of documents have been given, but it's really a Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been president."

Survivor Haley Robson addressed Trump's "hoax" comment, saying: "Mr. President, Donald J. Trump, I am a registered Republican – not that that matters, because this is not political – however, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax. We are real human beings. This is real trauma."

"It's being gutted from the inside out," Robson explained, when asked about the emotional impact.

"It feels like you just want to explode inside because nobody again is understanding that this is a real situation. These women are real. We're here in person. … Please humanize us. … There is no hoax, the abuse was real."

"I would be more than happy to meet with him (Trump), and I will meet him halfway."

"We are the keys to this situation," Robson added. "We have the truth, and the FBI knows the truth, the government knows the truth. You may pull the wool over the sheep's eyes. But we are the keys. We know who was involved. We know the game. We know the players, and we are sitting here for 20 years waiting for you to get up and do something. Well, guess what? Your time is up and now we're doing it."

Anouska De Georgiou, another Epstein victim, said: "The days of sweeping this under the rug are over. We the survivors say 'no more.'"

"I'm no longer weak, I am no longer powerless and I'm no longer alone. And with your vote, neither will the next generation," she said. "President Trump, you have so much influence and power in this situation. Please use that influence and power to help us, because we need it now, and this country needs it now."

Marina Lacerda, a survivor who was named as Minor Victim One in Epstein's 2019 federal indictment, spoke publicly for the first time about the horror, noting there are many parts of her story she can't even remember.

"It's so hard to begin to heal knowing that there are people out there who know more about my abuse than I do," she said.

"The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of the documents and information that could help me remember and get over all of this, maybe, and help me heal. They have documents with my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house, and could help me put the pieces of my own life back together. But I don't have any of it, and I know the same is true for many of these women."

Sky Roberts, the brother of well-known Epstein survivor Virgina Giuffre who died by suicide in April, laid out three demands: "Ghislaine Maxwell must remain in a maximum security prison for the rest of her life," Roberts said.

"No leniency, no deals, no special treatment. The Epstein documents must be unsealed. Every name, every detail, no more secrets, no more protection for those who preyed on the vulnerable. And finally, we demand full accountability from every enabler, every accomplice, every person in power who turned a blind eye."

The victims are urging Congress to support a bipartisan push from Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California to compel the U.S. Justice Department to publicly release all the Epstein files.

At Wednesday's news conference, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said she personally would be fearless in naming the names of Epstein's friends and clients on the floor of the U.S. House Of Representatives.

"Yeah, it's a scary thing to name names, but I will tell you I'm not afraid to name names," Greene said.

"And so if they want to give me a list, I will walk in that Capitol on the House floor, I'll say every damn name that abused these women."

Alex Jones of Infowars erupted on air Tuesday in graphic fashion as he slammed his star reporter Owen Shroyer who is leaving the media operation over purported disputes that Shroyer had become "too anti-Trump" and "negative."

"You stabbed your brother and this operation in the back and you're a f***in' liar! F***in' a**hole, piece of sh**!" Jones said on the air.

President Donald Trump on Monday demanded drug companies justify the success of COVID shots, saying the Centers For Disease Control is "being ripped apart over this question."

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, the president stated: "It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree!

"With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW. I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???
