RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Orem, Utah – 12 September 2025
1. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox listening to reporter question
2. UPSOUND (English) Reporter question:
"Governor, how do you interpret the engravings on the casings?"
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah:
"Well, I will leave that up to you to interpret what those engravings mean. I think the clearest one that says, ‘catch fascists,’ there’s not, and by the way, that’s like, catch like a ball, catch this. That’s, I think that speaks for itself."

4. UPSOUND (English) Reporter question:
"Governor, you indicated that he had been communicating with a friend on Discord about the gun. Do you anticipate any more arrests?"
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah:
"We do not at this time have any information that would lead to any additional arrests.
(Reporter: Do you believe you acted alone?)
Yes. But the investigation is ongoing."
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. UPSOUND (English) Reporter question:
"Can you detail how he came into custody of police and where he is right now?"
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah:
"Yes. So right now, Mr. Robinson has been booked into the Utah County Jail. You heard the president this morning report that he was taken into custody, that his family and a friend helped to deliver him into custody of law enforcement in Washington County."

8. UPSOUND (English) Reporter question:
"You’ve spoken very eloquently about trying to reunite this country. Do you feel that this is a watershed in American history?"
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah:
"I absolutely believe that this is a watershed in American history, yes. The question is what kind of watershed. And that chapter remains to be written. Is this the end of a dark chapter in our history or the beginning of a darker chapter in our history? Look, I mean, if you look at true political assassinations in this country of someone of this stature, this feels a lot like the late 60s. And having one so gruesomely displayed on camera in all of our hands and in all of our pockets. We are not wired as human beings, biologically, historically, we have not evolved in a way that we are capable of processing those types of violent imagery. And by the way, we’ve seen another one with a gruesome stabbing very recently that went viral. This is not good for us. It is not good to consume. Social media is a cancer on our society right now, and I would encourage, again, I would encourage people to log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community. That is happening, and it’s happening organically right now. I had a friend in a small city in Utah who said we’re getting together, the Republicans and Democrats in my little town are getting together to have a discussion tonight, last night, just to find a way to find their better angels. Yes, this could be. Again, you have to go back to JFK to have seen a video live of something like this happening. I wasn’t born until 1975, but I know that things were really dark in the late 60s. Sorry to some of you. I know some of you were there, but this is our moment. Do we escalate or do we find an off-ramp? And again, it’s a choice. It’s a choice. And every one of us gets to make that choice. Two more questions, two more questions right here."

10. UPSOUND (English) Reporter question:
"One more thing, governor, could you just clarify the clothing issue you mentioned earlier, was he changing outfits?"
