James Li’s latest episode examines the suspicious digital footprints preceding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, raising serious questions about foreknowledge and possible coordination.

Li’s investigation is driven by Google Trends data unearthed by the Real Baron Podcast, as well as aviation records and other metadata that cast doubt on the official timeline.

“When did you first hear the names Tyler Robinson or the Losi Center?” Li questions, referring to the accused shooter and the rooftop location at Utah Valley University where Kirk was fatally shot. “For me, it was only after the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th. But what if I told you that someone—or perhaps several people—were searching these terms before that date?”

Li points out that Google Trends data revealed a spike in searches for “Tyler James Robinson” originating from Washington, D.C., at 11 a.m. the day before the shooting. “Why would anyone look up Tyler James Robinson just a day before he allegedly killed Charlie Kirk?” Li wonders.

This detail becomes even more significant, Li notes, because the name was not publicly known until the media identified the alleged shooter two days following the incident.

“The localized searches in D.C.—a hub for federal government, intelligence, national media, and political entities—suggest that this isn’t mere coincidence or the shooter checking his own name,” Li explains. “It points to a strong possibility of pre-event institutional awareness or involvement.”

“The fact that the searches are localized to D.C.—a city synonymous with the federal government, intelligence, national media, and political organizations—strongly shifts the interpretation away from random noise or perpetrator checking his own name into a strong potential signal of pre-event institutional knowledge or activity,” he explains.

Li pushes deeper, reporting that similar Trend anomalies surfaced regarding the private jet tail number “9888KG,” which took off from Provo, Utah shortly after the assassination. Again, trend spikes occurred before major news coverage. “Once again, September 9th, one day before the shooting, there is a blip. Why? We don’t know,” Li says. “Of course they’re telling us there’s nothing to see here, don’t look any further.”

Li also highlights searches for “Losi Center,” the key venue in Utah, which spiked in the D.C. metro area on September 8th—two days prior to the shooting.

“Somebody in DC was doing a search a couple of days beforehand of the Losi Center,” he notes, suggesting an unusual interest in the geographic details of the crime scene.

Li adds a note of caution: “Let’s be skeptical for a second because we should always be skeptical. And I’m throwing myself into that category. You should be skeptical of what I’m saying. Do your own research.”

Turning to Baron Coleman, the podcast host credited for the research, Li verifies his credentials as a veteran Alabama radio personality before lauding his meticulous data work. “At the very least, he didn’t just pop out of nowhere. And I want to give props to his great research,” Li says.

Further oddities surface in trends for vintage rifle searches like “Mauser 98,” the weapon type connected to the case. “Mauser 98, a rifle that the feds tell us is powerful, vintage, and hard to trace,” Li notes, referencing Google Trends hits in D.C. two weeks prior to the shooting.

Li concludes that while coincidences sometimes happen, “once has happened stance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. Well, this is now four different coincidences.” Acknowledging his own attempts to replicate the data, he adds, “After his video was released and it kind of went viral, the trends results had been since scrubbed.”

Despite Google’s insistence such manual intervention is rare, Li remains skeptical, suggesting that “as time passes, facts will become hazy, timelines might shift around a little bit and we would be none the wiser.”
