Speaker 1: Liberals b one, your viewpoints will be subjected to strike scrutiny.
Speaker 1: You're listening to right Side Radio. It feels like to click,
Speaker 1: my eyes have been blown wide. You tuned into right
Speaker 1: Side Radio. This is a right Side special report and
Speaker 1: here's check Fairholms. All right, guys, here we are on
Speaker 1: this special report here. Of course, I'm sure by now
Speaker 1: you've already seen the news that co founder of Turning
Speaker 1: Point USA and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has been shot
Speaker 1: at Utah Valley University today. He was there having an event,
Speaker 1: his usual proved Me Wrong event where he has an
Speaker 1: open mic, herphone and welcome's debate on various topics. The
Speaker 1: event had just started when Charlie Kirk was shot, and
Speaker 1: you know from video and reports it appears he was
Speaker 1: shot in the neck, and that is very troubling for sure.
Speaker 1: We're still waiting for more information at the moment. The
Speaker 1: last update I saw from Fox News they have updated
Speaker 1: his condition to critical condition, which is amazing in the
Speaker 1: sense that if you saw the video, the close up video,
Speaker 1: if it was one of those where I feared the
Speaker 1: worst when I saw it, and my thoughts in prayers
Speaker 1: go out to this man and his family. He's thirty
Speaker 1: one years old and he's a father of two. And whoever,
Speaker 1: this gutless coward of an assassin is again you just
Speaker 1: because somebody says something you disagree with, this is what
Speaker 1: you decide to do. Let's make no mistake. This is
Speaker 1: an assault on freedom of speech. You go after somebody
Speaker 1: like Kirk, and you go after people and voices that
Speaker 1: you disagree with. It's a way to try to intimidate
Speaker 1: folks into silence. It's a way to try to get
Speaker 1: others to not join in in the discussion. In the dialogue.
Speaker 1: Prayers are definitely being lifted. We're all hoping for the best.
Speaker 1: There was a statement released from Utah Valley University. They said,
Speaker 1: we had a speaker, Charlie Kirk, who was invited by
Speaker 1: a student group Turning Point USA, who was speaking on
Speaker 1: campus today at noon at about twelve to twenty, shots
Speaker 1: were fired from a building about two hundred yards from
Speaker 1: the speaker. To the best of our knowledge, the individual
Speaker 1: was hit and was taken away immediately by a security
Speaker 1: person out The campus is closed for the rest of
Speaker 1: the day, and our campus police has a suspect in custody.
Speaker 1: Of course, Fox News right before I started recording, announced
Speaker 1: that the suspect that they had in custody is not
Speaker 1: the shooter. The shooter is still at large, so we're
Speaker 1: still waiting to see what we can find out. Prayers,
Speaker 1: of course, are needed. We're seeing prayers being sent out,
Speaker 1: and it's just senseless, you know, and the fact that
Speaker 1: here we are watching this happen. This comes on the
Speaker 1: end of It comes on the heels of course shootings
Speaker 1: that seem to be targeting conservatives. President Trump was targeted
Speaker 1: twice during the presidential election. It's frightening, to say the least,
Speaker 1: and it's one where we're all going to be praying
Speaker 1: for people to heal and recover. Our good friend, Chris
Speaker 1: McDaniel he posted political violence has no place in America.
Speaker 1: Yet once again a conservative voice has been targeted today,
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking to students at Utah
Speaker 1: Valley University. Regardless of anyone's political views, an attack on
Speaker 1: free speech is an attack on the very foundation of
Speaker 1: our republic. Over the last several years, we've watched the
Speaker 1: American left grow increasingly hostile to opposing viewpoints. Conservative students
Speaker 1: have been shouted down, speakers counseled and even and events disrupted.
Speaker 1: Now tragically words have turned into bullets. Our nation must
Speaker 1: say with one voice, enough debate should be one with reason, persuasion,
Speaker 1: and truth, not intimidation or violence. We pray for Charlie's
Speaker 1: swift recovery, for his family, and for every American who
Speaker 1: values the principles of free expression and peaceful disagreement. And
Speaker 1: we recommit ourselves to the fight for liberty, knowing full
Speaker 1: well that freedom always has enemies. Well said by Chris
Speaker 1: McDaniel on this one. Is we again? The Flagship Show
Speaker 1: is going to record later tonight, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: come on and put something out a little bit more immediately,
Speaker 1: especially knowing that we're putting out the thoughts and prayers
Speaker 1: for Charlie Kirk. I mean, we're hoping that this turns
Speaker 1: out to be a miracle that we're sitting back and
Speaker 1: talking about how Charlie Kirk survives. And I hope that
Speaker 1: they get this scumbag that took the shots. I hope
Speaker 1: they find him, and if there are multiple people involved,
Speaker 1: I hope they get them all, because again, this is
Speaker 1: a disgusting act. The FBI is investigating. So the FBI
Speaker 1: is involved now as well. Of course President Trump he
Speaker 1: put out a statement as well. His statement on social
Speaker 1: media was we must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who
Speaker 1: has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom.
Speaker 1: God bless him. That's what Trump put on his truth
Speaker 1: social earlier today. So we are still waiting to see
Speaker 1: or Vice President Jedi Vance he put up Dear God,
Speaker 1: protect Charlie in his darkest hour, Man said wrote earlier
Speaker 1: on X say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuine
Speaker 1: good guy and a young father. So there are and
Speaker 1: there are multiple other politicians putting out their statements on
Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle. But again, let's have debates,
Speaker 1: as Chris said, debates, not bullets. If you can't win
Speaker 1: the debate, then concede. But then the fact that you're
Speaker 1: so scared of what we might have to say that
Speaker 1: you have to pick up a gun and silence a voice.
Speaker 1: It's disgusting, it's disgusting, and it's something that again we're
Speaker 1: going to have to. Oh wow, Charlie Kirk has died.
Speaker 1: It just broke as I was getting ready to wrap
Speaker 1: this episode up. Charlie Kirk has passed away from his injuries.
Speaker 1: Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk has died after being shot
Speaker 1: in an event on Wednesday. President Trump has confirmed Kirk's
Speaker 1: death in a post on True Social saying, the great
Speaker 1: and legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. No one understood or
Speaker 1: had the heart of the youth in the United States
Speaker 1: of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired
Speaker 1: by all, especially me, and now he is no longer
Speaker 1: with us. Melayna and my sympathies go out to his
Speaker 1: beautiful wife, Erica and his family. Charlie, we love you.
Speaker 1: So Charlie Kirk has been assassinated and a voice silenced
Speaker 1: because some group or moron disagreed with him. It is
Speaker 1: a tragic day here in America, a dark day in
Speaker 1: our country. Wow, I think I'm gonna scrap this one.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I mean, you're this isn't live radio,
Speaker 1: of course, and I could put out something later, But
Speaker 1: now that the news has broke that he has died,
Speaker 1: it's all we can do now is pray for his
Speaker 1: family and pray for justice because this is one of
Speaker 1: the most disgusting, despicable acts that we have seen. So
Speaker 1: I am I have talked about Charlie on this show before.
Speaker 1: I have talked about his videos, and I've played clips
Speaker 1: of his videos. I've been a fan of the way
Speaker 1: that he engaged in dialogue and spoke to the youth,
Speaker 1: got them involved. And now, because of as less act,
Speaker 1: because somebody didn't like what he had to say, we've
Speaker 1: lost Charlie Kirk. I'm gonna stop right here. I don't
Speaker 1: know what more to say. My current plan is to
Speaker 1: come back and record the Flagship Show later this evening,
Speaker 1: release it in the morning. Well, I'm sure talk more
Speaker 1: about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and of course tomorrow
Speaker 1: I'll be guest hosting Chris McDaniels America. Hopefully I'll have
Speaker 1: someone like Jim Sigelski sit in with me and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about this here or there on that show as well.
Speaker 1: And there's nothing we can say to make sense of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's a sad day here in America.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to you again, real soon.
