| 0:00.0 | Well, folks, this morning, the presidents of the United States went on Fox and Friends and announced |
| 0:05.9 | that the murderer, the assassin, alleged of Charlie Kirk, has been found, is now in custody. |
| 0:14.4 | Here's the president had to say on Fox and Friends this morning. |
| 0:17.8 | This is shortly before a press conference held by the Utah |
| 0:20.8 | Governor Spencer Cox, who added more details, which we'll get into momentarily. Here's the |
| 0:24.6 | president on the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk. Any updates on the suspect? Yeah. Can I always say, |
| 0:34.3 | I think, just to protect us all, and so Fox doesn't get sued, and we all don't get sued and everything else. |

| 1:35.3 | Essentially, somebody that was very close to him turned him in. And that happens when you had some of those good shots. Somebody is going to say, whether it's |
| 1:45.4 | a parent or whatever, I'd rather not say right now, they're going to announce it today sometime |
