00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Liberals b one, your viewpoints will be subjected to strike scrutiny.

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to right Side Radio. It feels like to click,

3
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>my eyes have been blown wide. You tuned into right

4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Side Radio. This is a right Side special report and

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>here's check Fairholms. All right, guys, here we are on

6
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>this special report here. Of course, I'm sure by now

7
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you've already seen the news that co founder of Turning

8
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Point USA and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has been shot

9
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>at Utah Valley University today. He was there having an event,

10
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>his usual proved Me Wrong event where he has an

11
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>open mic, herphone and welcome's debate on various topics. The

12
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>event had just started when Charlie Kirk was shot, and

13
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>you know from video and reports it appears he was

14
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>shot in the neck, and that is very troubling for sure.

15
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>We're still waiting for more information at the moment. The

16
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>last update I saw from Fox News they have updated

17
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>his condition to critical condition, which is amazing in the

18
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 1>sense that if you saw the video, the close up video,

19
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>if it was one of those where I feared the

20
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>worst when I saw it, and my thoughts in prayers

21
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 1>go out to this man and his family. He's thirty

22
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>one years old and he's a father of two. And whoever,

23
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this gutless coward of an assassin is again you just

24
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>because somebody says something you disagree with, this is what

25
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you decide to do. Let's make no mistake. This is

26
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>an assault on freedom of speech. You go after somebody

27
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like Kirk, and you go after people and voices that

28
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you disagree with. It's a way to try to intimidate

29
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>folks into silence. It's a way to try to get

30
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>others to not join in in the discussion. In the dialogue.

31
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Prayers are definitely being lifted. We're all hoping for the best.

32
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>There was a statement released from Utah Valley University. They said,

33
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 1>we had a speaker, Charlie Kirk, who was invited by

34
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>a student group Turning Point USA, who was speaking on

35
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>campus today at noon at about twelve to twenty, shots

36
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>were fired from a building about two hundred yards from

37
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 1>the speaker. To the best of our knowledge, the individual

38
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>was hit and was taken away immediately by a security

39
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>person out The campus is closed for the rest of

40
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the day, and our campus police has a suspect in custody.

41
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Fox News right before I started recording, announced

42
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 1>that the suspect that they had in custody is not

43
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the shooter. The shooter is still at large, so we're

44
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 1>still waiting to see what we can find out. Prayers,

45
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of course, are needed. We're seeing prayers being sent out,

46
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's just senseless, you know, and the fact that

47
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>here we are watching this happen. This comes on the

48
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>end of It comes on the heels of course shootings

49
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that seem to be targeting conservatives. President Trump was targeted

50
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>twice during the presidential election. It's frightening, to say the least,

51
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>and it's one where we're all going to be praying

52
00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for people to heal and recover. Our good friend, Chris

53
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>McDaniel he posted political violence has no place in America.

54
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Yet once again a conservative voice has been targeted today,

55
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking to students at Utah

56
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Valley University. Regardless of anyone's political views, an attack on

57
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 1>free speech is an attack on the very foundation of

58
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>our republic. Over the last several years, we've watched the

59
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>American left grow increasingly hostile to opposing viewpoints. Conservative students

60
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>have been shouted down, speakers counseled and even and events disrupted.

61
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Now tragically words have turned into bullets. Our nation must

62
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>say with one voice, enough debate should be one with reason, persuasion,

63
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>and truth, not intimidation or violence. We pray for Charlie's

64
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>swift recovery, for his family, and for every American who

65
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>values the principles of free expression and peaceful disagreement. And

66
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we recommit ourselves to the fight for liberty, knowing full

67
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>well that freedom always has enemies. Well said by Chris

68
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>McDaniel on this one. Is we again? The Flagship Show

69
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>is going to record later tonight, but I wanted to

70
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>come on and put something out a little bit more immediately,

71
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 1>especially knowing that we're putting out the thoughts and prayers

72
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>for Charlie Kirk. I mean, we're hoping that this turns

73
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 1>out to be a miracle that we're sitting back and

74
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about how Charlie Kirk survives. And I hope that

75
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 1>they get this scumbag that took the shots. I hope

76
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>they find him, and if there are multiple people involved,

77
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>I hope they get them all, because again, this is

78
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>a disgusting act. The FBI is investigating. So the FBI

79
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 1>is involved now as well. Of course President Trump he

80
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>put out a statement as well. His statement on social

81
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>media was we must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who

82
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom.

83
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>God bless him. That's what Trump put on his truth

84
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>social earlier today. So we are still waiting to see

85
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>or Vice President Jedi Vance he put up Dear God,

86
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>protect Charlie in his darkest hour, Man said wrote earlier

87
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 1>on X say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuine

88
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>good guy and a young father. So there are and

89
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 1>there are multiple other politicians putting out their statements on

90
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the aisle. But again, let's have debates,

91
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>as Chris said, debates, not bullets. If you can't win

92
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 1>the debate, then concede. But then the fact that you're

93
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>so scared of what we might have to say that

94
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to pick up a gun and silence a voice.

95
00:08:50.200 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>It's disgusting, it's disgusting, and it's something that again we're

96
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>going to have to. Oh wow, Charlie Kirk has died.

97
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>It just broke as I was getting ready to wrap

98
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>this episode up. Charlie Kirk has passed away from his injuries.

99
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk has died after being shot

100
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 1>in an event on Wednesday. President Trump has confirmed Kirk's

101
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 1>death in a post on True Social saying, the great

102
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. No one understood or

103
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>had the heart of the youth in the United States

104
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 1>of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired

105
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 1>by all, especially me, and now he is no longer

106
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>with us. Melayna and my sympathies go out to his

107
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>beautiful wife, Erica and his family. Charlie, we love you.

108
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So Charlie Kirk has been assassinated and a voice silenced

109
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 1>because some group or moron disagreed with him. It is

110
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a tragic day here in America, a dark day in

111
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>our country. Wow, I think I'm gonna scrap this one.

112
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know. I mean, you're this isn't live radio,

113
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 1>of course, and I could put out something later, But

114
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>now that the news has broke that he has died,

115
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>it's all we can do now is pray for his

116
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 1>family and pray for justice because this is one of

117
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>the most disgusting, despicable acts that we have seen. So

118
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I am I have talked about Charlie on this show before.

119
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 1>I have talked about his videos, and I've played clips

120
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 1>of his videos. I've been a fan of the way

121
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that he engaged in dialogue and spoke to the youth,

122
00:11:53.519 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>got them involved. And now, because of as less act,

123
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>because somebody didn't like what he had to say, we've

124
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>lost Charlie Kirk. I'm gonna stop right here. I don't

125
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>know what more to say. My current plan is to

126
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 1>come back and record the Flagship Show later this evening,

127
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>release it in the morning. Well, I'm sure talk more

128
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and of course tomorrow

129
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I'll be guest hosting Chris McDaniels America. Hopefully I'll have

130
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 1>someone like Jim Sigelski sit in with me and we'll

131
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>talk about this here or there on that show as well.

132
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's nothing we can say to make sense of it.

133
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, it's a sad day here in America.

134
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to you again, real soon.
