Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
You are listening to the Daily Best of the Rick
Burgers Show. Hey, catch the entire show wherever you get podcast,
or watch us live and archived on YouTube, and subscribers
can watch the Daily Best of the Rick Burgess Show
on Blaze TV. Thanks for watching and listening, and be
sure to follow us on social media for more from
the whole gang at The Rick Burgess Show, America. Here

(00:32):
comes your question, another show ready to go here today,
the gang is here. We are gonna work you through
another day. We certainly have updates on stories that we
did yesterday. We will not spend as much time, I mean,

(00:54):
luckily said yesterday coming on the show when you had
the political assassination of you know, Charlie Kirk and looking
back on nine to eleven and all that yesterday, it
was it was quite the balancing act and there was
so much to cover today. We will kind of as
far as those as far as the Charlie Kirk story

(01:16):
is concerned, will simply update you on what is going on.
And obviously there there are some updates as far as
them trying to apprehend the killer. They they do have
much more video of him, They've got pictures of him,
so they seem to be closing in. We did tell

(01:37):
you before the show ended yesterday that they found the weapon,
so you kind of start thinking that we'll, I mean,
we may not get to the bottom of the motivation
because you don't know what this person will or won't
say once they apprehend him. But I feel pretty confident
that they're closing in, and you know, it's looking just

(01:58):
by his pictures. Now I don't know who is connected to,
and the fact that he left the gun in a
nearby wooded area, it looks like we just have a radicalized, wicked,
mentally unstable person who could handle that type of weapon

(02:20):
good enough to make that shot and just decided to
do it on their own. Now we don't know, we'll
find out, but it doesn't look like, you know, any
military trained person as we talked about. It doesn't look
like now that may be we'll see. It doesn't look
like hired assassin, you know. It looks more like, yeah,

(02:40):
just another dark, twisted, wicked person, somebody that was familiar
with the weapon. But like you said, yeah, like could
be somebody who hunts a lot, could be someone who
goes out and shoots weapons a lot. As we've said
on the show and said, in the past, when you're
dealing with these types of weapons, I don't consider myself

(03:03):
to be some expert marksman, but I've hunted enough that
you know, we could make that shot, and especially now
we're seeing more and more that the shot was he
got himself in a position that would have made that
shot not one hundred percent, but high percentage shot with
that kind of weapon if you knew how to handle
and you so, we'll we'll see, we'll we'll update you

(03:27):
on that as much as we can.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Another update that came shortly after the show was the
fact that Charlie was wearing a ballistic vest.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Did y'all see those reports?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I did, and I told Greg I saw a person
who is an expert, has worked in law enforcement. I
watched his commentary on it, and he said these were
just his opinion. He said that the kind of bulletproof
vest you would need to stop a high powered rifle.
He does not think he had on. He said, because

(03:59):
it's metal, it's bulky, and he said, just looking at
his clothing, it did not look like he had that on.
He said, Now it is possible that, he said, we
have another one that we wear as police officers, he said,
because most of us are worried about being shot by
our own pistol, so we wear a much lighter one

(04:20):
that will help you with a pistol, but it would
be of no use with a high powered rifle a sniper.
And he says, I don't think he had on what
would have stopped a rifle, because it's much as I said, Minigo,
it's got metal and is very heavy and bulky. He said, Now,
was he wearing some sort of bulletproof vests, maybe, but

(04:42):
based on what this person's expertise, looking at the shirt
he had on and the way it looked when he
was walking in and all that, he said, I don't
see it.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
From what I understand, And this is I thought from
a person that was on his security team, is that
he was actually struck in the chest and the bullet
splintered and ricocheted off of the plate and hit him
in the throat. And that why, that's why it seems
so such an odd strike. It just it just so,
it just struck me as so odd. But because it

(05:13):
hit his plate, ricocheted up and caught him through the
neck there that that's my understanding of it, and that's
we were trying to figure out because it was just
odd in which what direction did you even come from?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
You know?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And so that was and then we saw the map
in which it was a straight shot. And yes, to
y'all's point, you don't have to be a professionally trained
assassin to make a shot at this distance. I have
a buddy who's a realtor and he is regularly shooting
at over four hundred yards. He's not in the military,
you know, it's just like so, so that was some
new info. And yeah, I saw the shooter actually jumping

(05:48):
down off of the building.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's some that's some new footage.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I had not seen it. And even walking up to
the building. They've got one on that too, Yes, and
multiple pictures of him, so hopefully, hopefully he'll be brought in.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
He's walking to the event with what looked like a limp,
and people are thinking that maybe to have been to
hide part of the gun as well, because maybe he
had it down his leg and things like that.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, so I don't think the bulletproof this thing is
going to hold up. I think that may be bad information.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'll dig more.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right So, but because the guy said it's just what
he would have needed for that ricochet to take place.
It would he would not have been dressed in that
T shirt and it would not have been that you
would have been able to see it.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, I'm seeing multiple reports of seeing what I just said,
so I'll look for what you're saying too.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, he said. Now, I'm not saying he didn't have
anything on, and maybe that still caused the trajectory to change,
Like you're talking about Adler. He just said he didn't
have on what you would need for that kind of caliber.
He said, it could have been the thinner. He said,
they have one to call it a even a T
shirt veil. He said that helped some, but it wouldn't have.

(06:59):
He said that that's what we normally wear when we're
in the field because we're worried about pistols.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, that's a great point about most police are worried
about being shot by their own pistol.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, that's uh man.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
He said, that's what we're prepared for it. He said,
we're not even we're not even prepared, God forbid, you know,
for a sniper situation. Now, if you're on the swat team,
maybe differently, but anyway, so that we'll see the bottom
line is it was a shot that took the life
of Charlie Kirk, as we said yesterday, and it's happening.
Happened all day. Greg and I were talking about this.

(07:33):
You know, all this wicked person has done is to
make Charlie Kirk more well known with people that weren't
even following him. Now, all of Charlie Kirk's post some
of the brilliant things he said, defending the faith, defending
the Constitution, defending conservatism, defending the true history of our nation.

(07:57):
Now all those things with that that young, brilliant mind
that was only thirty one years old. I still am
just blown away by that. Now everybody is studying Charlie
Kirk and benefiting from it. I wasn't even someone who
followed Charlie Kirk much at all. I mean I interviewed
him when he was probably Bubba, and I did when

(08:18):
he was probably in his early twenties. I was impressed
by him, but i'd never really I mean I saw
the stuff people put out when he would debate people
and all that, but I wasn't someone who was engrossed
in the Turning Point movement. I appreciate it, didn't have
a problem with it. But now I found myself yesterday
just consuming all sorts of Charlie Kirk information and the

(08:42):
things he was saying. And I'm more impressed with him
today than I even was before he was shot because
I didn't follow everything he was doing. Now I'm getting
exposed to all of it, and I think that's happening,
especially with young people. They're going to be consuming him
at a rate that they weren't even before. And all
this person has done, as we said late yesterday, is

(09:04):
played and we said it in strange encounters. He just
played right into the hand of making Charlie Kirk bigger
and the movement stronger than he would have if he
just left it alone. You know when when when you
martyr people, it only makes it more strong. When you
persecute the church, it only makes it stronger. When you

(09:26):
persecute people, Uh, it only brings more attention to the movement.
And uh, and then you're going to, as I said yesterday,
all you did was make young people want to be
more like Charlie Kirk and not be like you. We'll
be back, and we will. We do have a new

(09:49):
episode of strange encounters that will come out this weekend.
We talk about this and some of the other things
that were have been going on. And I'm also going
to be on with Glenn back later today.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
This is the Rick birch A Show.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay, so Speedy is not going to be with us today.
I'm so sorry to the vox seats. You know, we
all have you know, families and and h children and
and and Speedy and Greg and we we both have
you know, aging parents, so you know they're theft. Yesterday.
Greg left early yesterday to take care of, you know,

(10:28):
something that mom needed, so something unexpected was is needed
today by for his parents and he he had to
be in Huntsville today, so it's where they live. So he, uh,
he will not be with us today. Uh we have
I mean, we're here, we're we're here, there, We're there,
we're there. We're down a man and we don't like it,
yeah we don't. But but you got to go take

(10:49):
care of mom or dad if they need you, because
he always took care of but it was but it
was something he was not expecting to have to do today.
So I'm so sorry for those of you in the
vox seat. But you know there's there just like the
as we say many times, like if you remember, if
you once you see pro wrestling, and you know they'd
have the card and they would say card subject to change.

(11:10):
You remember this, Yes, And one time I thought I
was going to see standing Man Hanson and they replaced
him with Rocket Monroe. I was disappointed, Civic, That's exactly
what I'm talking about. Remember that, Greg got I don't
remember what about the time I thought Tony Atlas was coming.
I guess may have been the same card. Yeah, and
uh and and they and he was not on the
card all the time they got to Oxford. I've been
seeing his picture for weeks, I know, and Ccivic, we

(11:32):
love Tony. Yeah, so I wondered, of course, if you
really go back, he started as the black Atlas he
did with the mask, with a mask on. And he
was the first one that asked, you know, back in
those days, they didn't look muscular or anything. They didn't
look athletic. No, he did. He was the first one
like a bodybelt.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I was going to say, yes, this guy's jazz.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, but like that, Yeah, he really stood out. That
became the norm. To Greg's point, But at one time
Tony Atlas was he didn't look like the rest of
the wrestlers. Pull up Anderson, you pull pull up Andrews.
Pull up to Anderson brothers. They weren't stand the man
handsome as you said, it would give you the lariat
and oh yeah, yeah man from bullet y'all.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
The Anderson brothers look like you guys. They just look
like y'all too. This is a more fit picture of them.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's when they were getting in shade. Yes, all right,
bullet Bob was cutty. Bullet Bob was cut pretty good.
But there they aretastic. They were a great tech team. Yeah.
Actually slammed guy we went to school with, Yes, he did.
That was one of the things that was great. If
you said, classmate, get get slammed by only understood a drink,

(12:45):
they didn't likely did not. We did not want to
coc on, you know, he did not. So uh so anyway,
so uh so that sometimes we can't control that. But
now here's the thing that the three of us have
to find a way. We've got to take over that
over greeting enthusiasm. Do you think we divided up into
three and thirty one? Yes, you know, so so Ad

(13:08):
or you're gonna have to give a little more. Greg
You're gonna have to make a big jump, I know.
And then I'm gonna give a little more, Okay, And
I think if we do that, we all give a
little more. Give a little bit, Jean Gene, I think
we can get to the level of Speedy's greeting.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Speaking of a super tramp right, correct, the guy just
passed away. I listened to that just this week, that
song this week in my car and great, it's great.
I forgot how many songs they have and also forgot
how weird the guy's voice is. Not to be rude,
but he sounds He sounds like what Geeddy leave from
Rush like, but without like the shredding shredd you know.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, he's one of those guys. You hear him sing
and you go, oh, that's the supertramp guy. You know
the logical song. I remember that getting in my head. Yes,
which was the Metel football, the Mattel football thing at
the end. You hear that Mattel football game going like
it would do when you got stopped him on fourth down. Yes, yes,
it was one of the switch possessions, he how and

(14:06):
we would play with that game for hours. That was terrible.
It was a terrible dots. It was just dots. It
didn't make any sense. And way we we'd wear it out.
You know, now we become those cranky old men. We
had a football game. It was nothing but dods and
we liked it. What even people, It wasn't even bad cartoons.
It was up, down and then down the sideline dots.

(14:29):
When tech Mobile came out, we thought, well, my goodness,
was the greatest thing. We thought, good, great, we'll do
We'll never see anything better than this.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
It was basically pong, but with like on a field.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
On its checkerboard. It was your dot guy against the
dots on defense go dot even.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
How do you cheer that?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
If you try to convert a fourth and didn't make
it go which ended up in the Logical Show.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, yeah, speaking of being logical, I always try to
be logical.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
I do have a tactical guy.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
To explain three three second thirty thirty seconds here of
what happened.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
With the with the bullet.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
If y'all care, you want to come back, let's come back. Okay, okay, yes, So.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I try to be right on on the air and
these guys, this is this is from Paramount Tactical.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
And if you have a tactical YouTube.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Channel and you're ever wrong ever, you're just gonna get eviscerated.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
So I think this guy is absolutely really know what
he's talking.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
About, you know what I mean? But does he know
Charlie Kirk had one of these owns?

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yes, yes, I know.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I then I went and found the one of the
security guys that says for for the hundreds of you
that are texting me, yes, Charlie was wearing a vest.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Okay, there you go. All right, Well we'll be back.
Well we'll get that from Adler, and then we'll continue
to also unpack any updates we get from the ongoing
investigation trying to bring this person in. You know, they're
getting a little close. Yeah, it is interesting. Now we

(15:58):
haven't got to the end. At this point, he hasn't
taken his own life, so that's a little different, no
of Yeah, this.

Speaker 5 (16:05):

(17:13):
part of shaping the future. So once you go now
Fearless mission dot com. So ada you mentioned this yesterday,
there were people going, hey, is this true? How do
you know what up? And you said, what came from
somebody on Charlie Kirk's security team. Then some people came

(17:35):
out and said, well, I'm not sure about that, and
you said, now you've got someone that is going to say, yes,
his security team said this, and here's what we think
happened involving the body armor that he cause. Many people
say and the times we're living in you've got to
have body armor on, sadly, and this person says he did,
but this type of rifle with this kind of load,

(17:57):
and what happened with the bullet Unfortunately it was not enough. Yeah,
is that accurate?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
It looks like he was wearing a vest of some kind.
I don't know, I honestly don't know if it was
plates this This channel, Paramount Tactical, huge, huge channel on YouTube.
Here has a breakdown of it. He's a former military guy,
and here is what he had to say about that.
He's talking about how the entrance a lot of times

(18:23):
on these and this is so this is just this
is horrible to even have to talk about. But a
lot of times the entrance wound is very small on these,
but with Charlie's on the front of his neck, you
could see that it was quite large. And then the
exit was was, you know, horrific, and it was slightly
higher and that was odd to me that the entrance
and the exit was slightly higher, telling me it came

(18:43):
from an upward angle. So that's why I was so
confused and trying to figure out what was going on.
And this guy is going to talk about it here.
Just I'm not going to play the video of it
because he is. He is kind of zooming in and
talking about it, but his audio will explain it, all right.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
It was very clear to me is that we had
a round that impact the upper edge of his body armor,
and then that round deflected directly upward. So now what
we're dealing with is not only a deform projectile, but
it's also now moving upward, which would make the wound
larger both because of its deformation and now it's angle
of entry.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
There you go, yeah, yeah, And that makes all the
sense in the world. It really does, because you know,
they when the bullet comes apart, you know, now it
goes in all kinds of directions, but it still has
all kinds of velocity.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
And here he is holding a plate for the example.
I just didn't want to show any of the video.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, So so anyway we will see And again because
I will say this, and you said this yesterday, we
all did security around this type of stuff. And I
don't know why it changed because of John F. Kennedy.
That was a high powered rifle from you know, a building.

(19:53):
So why we started thinking it was more likely that
someone would be in a crowd and cheat with the pistol.
We certainly had some those attempts on Reagan's life and
and all that, but close up, sadly, when it comes
to assassinations, it feels like to me, we've had more
as many rifles as we've had pistols. And you know,
and if you if you go through you know the

(20:15):
history of these political assassinations, it's it's nothing new, but
it's been a while, but now they seem to be
elevating again. And like we said yesterday, there's there there
are some things that have drastically changed, and we'll talk
more about that, you know, coming up. And you know,
one of the things I thought about going yesterday and

(20:37):
getting all the research and on him and hearing how
well and what a brilliant mind that he had at
such a young age, and how he was so informed
to be able to have debate and he I will
say this, I expected I was. I was kind of
cringing yesterday when the view came on. Now keep in

(20:57):
mind by the time the view actually aired yesterday day,
a lot of their colleagues have been fired by almost
blaming Charlie Kirk for the evil that happened to him.
They didn't really take that attitude. They were They were
surprisingly in the camp of no matter how I feel

(21:18):
about his ideology versus mind or his spiritual convictions or whatever,
he was a person that was all about open debate
and free speech. And I'll tell you what I believe
and why I believe it, and I'll defend it. And
then you try to defend what you believe and ask

(21:41):
me any question, change my mind, and let's have this discussion.
And for someone to be murdered over that because because
you didn't like how well they could disagree with them,
how well they could communicate, it's almost like, oh, no,
this guy makes such good points. Others are going to
start for following what he thinks and believes, and we're

(22:02):
going to lose the young people and we're desperate. But
this person that is the suspect, now we'll see because
the sunglasses and all that, but he looks to be
relatively young himself, so so we'll see how all that,
how it goes out. But one of the things that
I noticed, and it really reminded me because a lot
of people are talking about Greg. You got a text

(22:24):
a minute ago that in so many ways on the
spiritual side and to a degree the political side. But
the spiritual side, honestly, is all I really care about.
We're not going to solve spiritual problems with political answers.
Spiritual problems have to be solved with spiritual answers. So
the spiritual side of what Charlie was doing is much

(22:44):
more important to me and much more valuable. And the
other stuff certainly gives us, can give us a better
quality of life and history of our country, all that's important.
He was show footage quoted he felt the same way.
Yeah he did. He did. His main fact, I want
to be known about being courageous with my faith. You
didn't hear him say I want to be known being
courageous as a conservative, even though he certainly was both.

(23:05):
But he reminded me listening to him talk yesterday and
things his wife seemed to be saying, it reminded me
very much. Hear me out. It did, and I'll tell
you why. It reminded me a lot of Jim Elliott
and Elizabeth Elliott, because Elizabeth Elliott said about her husband
Jim that was killed, you know, when he went to
reach the tribe. Oh yeah, for Jesus exactly that. She said,

(23:29):
I don't know how to explain this, but Jim never
thought he was going to live a long life. And
he said he didn't desire to live a long life.
He desired to live an important life, a life of impact.
He wanted his life to have impact. She said, But
I'm telling you, you know, as long as I've known Jim,
it just Jim just didn't seem to think he was
going to live a long time. Yeah, he thought he

(23:50):
was going to have impact and that was what was important.
His desire was yeah, yeah, his desire wasn't to have
a lengthy life. His desire was to have an impactful life.
And you know, you think about Stephen in the Bible.
You know, he didn't have a long life, but he
had an impactful life. These martyrs, and even go to

(24:11):
the Revelation. I saw a pastor doing this yesterday where
it says, you see the martyrs that are in heaven,
they have their own special place of honor that were
martyred for their faith, and so you could tell that
Charlie Kirk knew the world that he was living in,
that he was in danger. He was fully aware of that. Yeah,

(24:35):
and he said that I believe that the opposition and
I want to be clear on this too. And we'll
talk more about this on Glenn Beck TV today because
I know there's such a political rim on those kind
of shows. We're right now, folks, y'all got to get this, okay,
and we're gonna be a lot hearted today. It's not

(24:56):
all gonna be serious. So, but I think this is important.
This is not conservatives versus liberals. This is not Republicans
versus democrats. This is godly versus ungodly. Yeah, and you
got to understand that there's a spiritual battle going on
that is much bigger than the political battle. Now, sometimes

(25:18):
they intertwine and they're kind of this. They can be
they can have, you know, pillars that are that are similar,
you know, because if I have this political view, then
I also believe this morally certainly. But but you know,
you can get into all kinds of weird theology that's
not sound and all that with people who are just
trying to do good things. Sure, but we're down to

(25:40):
godly versus ungod, and there's there's a lot of depravity
and depraved minds that that we're encountering that are not
they're not new to the world's history, but like I
said yesterday, they feel more intense in our history. And
that's until you kind of understand that. And why I

(26:05):
say that is, if you're just going to say I'm
going to fight the political battle, but I'm not going
to fight the spiritual battle, You're not going to accomplish
a whole lot. You got to fight the battle that's
actually happening, and you better equip yourself for that battle.
There you go as well, We'll be right back, Stay good,
stay with us. Always always cool, like today when we

(26:33):
have the box seats, you know when people come in,
they've got the team colors on, they got some of
our shirts song Cat, you know, got some of the
caps song. It's always cool. So we got a brand
a lot of brand new stuff that's coming to the
store right now. There's there's some stuff on clearance, uh,
including the shirt that I have on right here, because
we'll do some other faith based shirts. This one I

(26:54):
thought was very appropriate from the times that we're in
in the headlines of today. It is Jesus's word to
count the cost if you desire to follow him. Jesus
was never He never lets you make a decision without
informing you on understand the weight of the decision you're making.
Now if you decide to follow me, the world's gonna
hate you. They hated me first, and they gonna hate

(27:15):
you too. And you've got to understand that it's going
It may cost you. It may cost you relationships, it
might cost you your job, it might cost you promotions,
it might cost you your life. But for every one
of us, it's gonna cost us our sin, and sometimes
that's the toughest thing to give up. So anyway, that's
there's some other shirts and some accessories and things like

(27:38):
that that are on clearance, so take advantage of that
right now too, as we're preparing for the new stuff
that should be there any day from text Nation. And
I've always thought this was kind of an interesting thing.
I've seen some people comment on this, even on Strange
Encounters and our relationship with Blade TV and our friendship
with Glenn Beck. Explain Rick, how like today you'll be

(28:01):
on with Glenn again. How do you have these conversations
with a Mormon. It's a struggle. I find that question
to be a little bit odd, because, well, I could
be asked to be on any show. I could be
asked to It won't happen, But I could be asked
to be on the view. I could be asked to
be on CNN. You know, I could be. I remember

(28:22):
when Bubba and I were many times, you know, having
conversations with Alan Colmes, who was not who didn't believe
anything we believed with him and Sean. You know, I've
never I've never had any pressure being on Blaze TV.
First of all, Glenn does not run Blaze TV. Glynn
is part of Blaze TV, but he's not the only person.

(28:42):
We work firsthand on Blaze TV with people who share
the same exact beliefs we do. Scripturally, I do disagree
with the Mormon faith. I do not believe that John
Smith got a new revelation. I certainly know that Jesus
is Deity and he is God. He told us that

(29:03):
over and over again. He and Lucifer are not brothers.
You know, any of these things, I don't think I'm
on to get a planet all those things. There's a
lot of things in the Mormon faith that I would
reject completely. But I've never once and all the times
that Glenn and I have talked, he's never shared that

(29:24):
he's a Mormon with me. He's never asked me to
adhere to anything that Mormons believe that I don't. I mean,
it's never. He lets me speak freely and seems to
agree with everything that I say. So I don't treat
going on and having conversations with people who may or

(29:47):
may not be devoted to the Mormon faith any different
than I would being on any show, as long as
they allow me to speak freely. I mean, I want
to go speak the truth everywhere I can go. And so,
but that's not telling you what to say, No, exactly no.
And some of you think that that Blade TV is

(30:07):
somehow run by the Mormon faith or Mormons. That's not
true at all. Matter of fact, that the main person
we deal with is devout in the same faith that
we are to the letter. So so anyway, now if
you're going, if you're asking me how I have conversations,

(30:28):
because I do have acquaintances that are Mormon, how I
have the conversation, I first of all talk about what
we agree on, and then I won't compromise on the
things that we don't agree on. And but I don't
do that like in some screaming argument. I just say, well, here,
here's where I would disagree with you, and here's where

(30:48):
I think that's problematic. And and I will tell you though,
speaking of Glenn himself, you know, Glenn went through a
tough time like I did. And from what I can gather,
people and the Mormon faith reached out to him and
helped him, which you know, they can be some of
the most kind people on the planet. They better be.
It's a work, works based faith. But so so he

(31:12):
he was treated well, he didn't know much about the faith,
and I think that maybe these are the first people
that were ever nice to him and never helped him.
So he started going down that road. But I can
tell you throughout his life some of the most powerful
Charlie Kirk. Here we are celebrating Charlie Kirk. You think
he wouldn't go talk to Glenn. He was only I mean,
Glenn cried that Charlie Kirk was killed. They were so close. Okay,

(31:37):
So you know, if we don't think we think Charlie
Kirk shouldn't have been on with Glenn Beck. I mean so,
so I will tell you that Glenn has had some powerful, powerful,
solid evangelical Christians invest in his life. So I think
Glenn's on a journey. I do. I think Glenn is

(31:58):
always open to hear and be taught and be discipled
and be corrected. So my Glenn and I are not
close friends. I like him very much, and I'm thankful
for how kind he always was to Rick and Bubba
our our show and continues to be kind and allow
us on on his platform. And so uh so, I

(32:22):
think I look at this as an opportunity that I
wouldn't turn down at all, because so, what are we
supposed to just give up platforms to people that maybe
have bad theology and not use our opportunity to get
in there and say, let's correct this, let's talk about
let's let's talk about sound theology. Man, I'll do that

(32:42):
anywhere and anywhere someone allows me to come on. That's
not my endorsement of them, it's my opportunity to speak
about truth. My goodness, what are we supposed to just
wall ourselves off? Uh and and a and a bunch
of rooms where everybody agrees with what we're saying. That's
the reason, that's the reason the church is having so
little impact right now?

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Have you heard of preaching to the choir?

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah? What what good is that? Right? I want to
I want I want to go out and and be
telling the truth boldly. So isn't that kind of what
we're celebrating Charlie Kirk's life over? Absolutely? Yeah? So anyway,
so I don't Yeah, I don't have any any any

(33:29):
angst about that at all. Just just like Charlie. I'm
sure somebody said, uh, he and Glenn disagreed on some things,
and Glenn, I I'm sure disagree on some things, but
that doesn't mean we can't work together. And I'm certainly
not going to give up the huge audience that Glenn
has been allowed to have and bring clarity to it.
I think that's actually important. So and no, it's Greg

(33:54):
that believes in lizard people. But I'm just do some
weird looking politicians out there. I tell you that how
many besure people not? What's the odds that many ugly
people have become leaders of a nation? Think about it? Yeah,
And when people talk about what somebody said, you're right,
Jesus met everybody where they were. But let's not forget

(34:15):
the second part. But he didn't leave them there. He
met them where they were, but he told them the truth.
He didn't leave them there. Then Jesus hung out with
sinners and called them to repentance. And when and when
he left, they were changed or they rejected him. He
never changed he did. He didn't change who he was
to make them more comfortable. He was just willing to

(34:36):
meet them wherever they wanted to meet, to talk about
the truth and to show them that grace and mercy
was available if they repented. And we can't leave that
part out top of the hour. We'll be right back,

(35:02):
all right, So we don't have to tell you that
the world's gonna gone nuts. I mean just and sometimes
you're like, you know, I just need to break from
all that fellas. You could really really make the day
of the women in your life. And ladies, if you're listening,
just go ahead and do this for yourself. Go to
sharethe Arrows dot com. VIP options, by the way, are

(35:23):
still available to go to this incredible event for women
coming up on October the eleventh. It's gonna be in Dallas,
Texas Lady's TV's on Ali Beth Stuckey is going to
be there and she's put this together. It's designed to encourage,
equip and speak truth into the lives of women who
are trying to stand firm in this world. And boy

(35:43):
do we need that. So it's gonna be a full
day of worship, teaching, real conversations. A lot of great
bold voices will be there, Ginger Dougler being one of those,
Lisa Childers being one, Katie Foules, Taylor Duke's Francesca Battistelli
is going to be leading worship. It will be a
wonderful day. So fellas great idea to get this for

(36:03):
the ladies. Ladies, go ahead and handle this for yourself.
Share the Arrows dot com, Share the Arrows dot Com
and VIP options as I mentioned, are still available, but
no they didn't. So it's glad to see the pack
win last night. So spinal Tap two. So we have

(36:26):
a review from the documentary from the Hollywood Reporter. The
documentary and I can't believe that that was done in
nineteen eighty four. Wow, and boy that one's really poor.
We've seen it. I can't tell you how many times.
It involves you, of course, a fictional hard rock band.
We know this. So now forty one years after the

(36:46):
mockumentary original Spinal Tap two, the end continues, so it
and you have the original members. Okay, they think are
a little older now. Christopher Guest owns me yes, as
as Nigel. What tough Noel. But anyway, so Rob Ryner
of course is back, who's supposed to be the documentary filmmaker.

(37:07):
And this this reviewer of The Hollywood Reporter says, it's
an enjoyable, nostalgic sequel that's more chuckle uh and and
so he uh he said. And he said, then than
of course inspiring. It's not supposed to be inspired. I
think they'd be funny. Yeah, but he says, you know what,

(37:28):
I saw it, and it was funny. It made me laugh. Okay,
so you know, it's hard to do a sequel, but
especially when it's been that long. I know, because I'll
be honest, I tried to give the happy Gilmore the
slightest one and oh that's what I messed up. And
tried to watch it on a Friday. Now I was
real sleepy. Yeah, I need to go back. But it
wasn't that great?

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, no, I haven't seen I will not rewatch Happy
Gilmore and I love the first one, right that that
was a cameo filled nostalgia fest and they didn't mess
it up.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
But it wasn't a watcher.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's a good point. So it looks like that. The
storyline here, like you see a lot of this, is
that they're going to embark on a reunion concert after
when this documentary or documentary joins them. They have been
broken up for fifteen years. This is good, and they're

(38:21):
going to do a reunion concert. So so is this
is this big screen? Is this going to be on Netflix?

Speaker 3 (38:30):
It's out today, right?

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (38:32):
But but it is it in theaters today?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I think? So? It says marks the big screen reappearance.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Okay, yes, theaters.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Then they're going old school?

Speaker 3 (38:41):
How funny?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Is it just streaming quick? Though? Well, the good news
is it looks like it's going to have fun with
and Lampoon, the never ending bands that say it's over
and they come back again. And yes, and we've seen
this so many times, especially lately, but these two I
told the guys and look, let me, there's no endorsement

(39:04):
here at all. Of some of the more locker room
crude lyrics that they have in some of their songs.
But I don't know how they pulled it off. I
don't know what check they wrote. I don't know if
he just loved it. But I saw some of the
clips and Paul McCartney being one of the greatest songwriters

(39:28):
arguably but one of the greatest songwriters in music history
with a serious face, which makes a documentary work. It
must all be deadpen Okay in this group are good
at him discussing some of these outrageous lyrics as like
their series if they're outstanding, and it is to hear

(39:49):
Paul McCartney just stoneface referred to their just ridiculous lyrics.
That that's deep, that's that's a that's a moving lyrics.
You remember a big bottoms And of course we do. Listen,
everybody's playing the bass is by the way, I don't
think we can play it because of the lyrics. Right right,

(40:10):
let me tell you that moment right there, You see it, guys.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
What I'm talking y'all.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
I forgot I've been playing the trailer and they're kind
of doing a recap of the first one, and I
forgot that the mini Stonehenge comes in so that they
bring in little people to make Stonehengs look bigger y'all.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
And it's just of.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Course when they couldn't find the stage, they were hung backstage.
I never could get there.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
And then this this one goes to eleven, is iconic
that will go forever.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Won't just make ten louder?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I need to well, this one goes to eleven, I
need to rewatch the first one. And also what the
what they'll probably do is similar to what Naked Gun
just did. So Naked Gun came out in the theaters
like August.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
I didn't see it. I can't take Liam Neeson. Somebody's
got to be kidnapped if he's a movie.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
But you can actually so it was in the theaters.
They did a forty five day run in the theaters.
But you can buy it or rent it now and
then it will actually be streaming next month.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
So that'll probably be similar to what they do with this.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And I waited out to the price drops way down low.
I don't go for the first one because it's expensive.
It's eighteen bucks. Now test you know how tell Adler
to spend less time with you? You may have to
cut down your speedy time. You kind of becoming cheap.
You're kind of becoming cheap.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
But then I think about it the whole time I'm
watching the movie, I'm like, is this eight?

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Is this I'm getting? Am I getting eighteen dollars worth
of laughs?

Speaker 1 (41:33):
I know? And how about this? Just wait a little longer,
it'll be free eventually. Yes, well you know where they
get me or on less than five they get me
on the hassle thing.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
I know.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
It's like, what am I gonna be wait on some
perfect time to watch this? I can watch it right now,
and I get it. If you went to the movie,
it's more than that. Blah blah blah, sure, sure, whatever
did you just you just go ahead and get that
because that's coming, it's coming.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
I just can't hit that button on like twenty bug.
I just I don't know. That's Robby Smart the movie.
Ain't that good? No, that's my point. When's the last
time y'all saw a current movie that you went, man, God, Rey,
I'm telling you were like, wow, I don't know, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Interstellar that's not current, that's as current as I get Okay.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
That's what you're saying. You're making a point. We'll be back, Adler.
I'm afraid you need to dress up. We've got a
vox verdo we got one? I got a box Verden
that's a doozy. Someone's I don't know where his stuff is. Look,
how do you got to find your stuff?

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yeah, there you go. Okay, now remember your role, Adler.
Even though it's very important, it becomes even more important
today because Speedy is out. Yeah yeah, and uh and
Speedy is there had to take care of something involving
his parents. Uh and was unexpected. So but so he
will not be here today, But so Greg and I

(42:58):
will still be a jury. But if we get into
a hung jury, you have to make the final decision. Yeah,
so you got there's gonna be some pressure here. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Is it possible? This wig is getting more itchy?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
It looks itchy.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
It's every time I put it on, I'm like, oh,
it's even more itchy than last time.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Yeah, it's actually itchy because it looks itchy, it is.
It looks great. How's you robe?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
How it feels itchy? Robe?

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Smells fine? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah, I'm not having I'm not wearing it very long.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
I need a ruling from Judge Eagle and the jury.
All right, I need a box verdict. My wife completed
her colonoscopy in a box. Oh that's a tough first line,
that is, and I'm sure she appreciates you sharing it.
While I admit it's easier than the real deal, there
is the awkward return process. Everybody knows what you think.

(43:48):
They just in a plane box, I know, and having
to interface with someone knowing what activities have occurred. And
there's a box of dunk. And that gets us to
the ruling. While I strive to be a good husband
and help my wife, I'm afraid I have to call
foul on the next part. Since she gets to work early,

(44:09):
she asked me to run the box by UPS to
be returned. Oh my, My response, excuse me?

Speaker 7 (44:16):
What?

Speaker 1 (44:18):
You want me to hand this box to an actual
person knowing the contents of said box, And it's not you,
it's for someone else. My suggestion was, let's just schedule
a pickup and leave it on the porch for ups.
Her rebuttal was that it was going to be hot tomorrow.

(44:39):
Oh no, my goodness, and she's concerned the not a
good combo, the sample may be compromised. What if the
dog walks by? They got great sense of smell, which
my response was, is that a straight worry? Do you
realize what's in the box? How could that spoil? Yeah?
But yeah, So my question is, first of all, is

(45:03):
this a foul on her part? And then I would
like a second ruling. You know, sometimes there's different charges
that we have to rule on first time. Is this
a foul on the wife's part? That's our first Oh,
it's foul all right here? And here's the second ruling.
If I if I can't get her to go along

(45:25):
with the ruling, if it goes in my favor, and
I go ahead and take the box of well, am
I allowed to recover damages on Saturday and watch interrupted football? Oh?
You could use it to your advantage. Yeah, so uninterrupted.
You know, anytime if your wife came in and said,
are you watching another game? Wait a minute? Was I
carrying feces of yours? Do you think she faked had

(45:48):
to get to work earlier. Yes, of course she didn't
want to have to do this. So ruling number one,
is this a foul on the wife's part great, I
get it. I understand what she's doing. It's a big ask,
you know, Hey, you mind taking Yeah, what's that got

(46:10):
to do with it? Yeah? Because the boxes plenty of big.
Now you're really gonna get him in trouble? Yeah, I'm
gonna says a foul. I mean it's not there's worse
things you could do, but hey, why don't do that
to me? Second second to part, if he does it,
should he get uninterrupted football? Absolutely? Because anytime you can

(46:31):
leverage that, you need to. All right, Greg says, should
not have been asked. That was a foul. If he
if he, if he has to do it any way,
he gets to watch football uninterrupted on Saturday. And how
confidence are you? I'm getting my health checked and I'm
boxing it up and sending it at ups. I know
a lot of things got to fall in place. I
know that people are all to get to the lab,

(46:52):
are all about all about this. Now. I'm actually the opposite.
I'd rather have a coldon Oscar. I think I trust
it more. I've had one. I didn't know what happened.
I was completely I slept great, they waked me, they
woke me up. I didn't have any pain or anything.
Uh and you got put under Oh yeah, yeah, you're
out for just a second. Yeah, that you never know
what happens.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (47:12):
I don't want that, Yes you do.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yes, you don't want anybody do anything. I don't want
to any monkey business.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
I don't want to be awake for what I know
they have to do. Yeah, I don't want I don't
want them telling me we're almost through. And then the
second part on the way home, I had incredible air.
I was dropping air that I don't need to know.
That was award winning. I mean, at one time, I
honestly believe I was louder than a fog rick. They

(47:41):
won't let you leave until you do that. I know.
I had one on the way home that cheer is
like and I said, I'm sorry, this is medical. You
can't be mad about this. You can't.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
I didn't know that was part of it.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Oh, it's a huge it's a massive part of all Right,
I'm never gonna do they got you get access, They
got a bow some airup in there. I'm just saying,
there's a lot of things that have to happen in
the cardboard box to get there to the person with
the wa white coat who goes here's my sample. I'm saying,
that's a lot of travel. My ruling is simple. I'm
with Greg all the way. You don't ask people to
carry your own you know, you don't ask anybody if

(48:17):
you've dumped in a box, it's your responsibility carr it
and to whoever. You don't put that on anybody else.
And if you that's not even in the vows of marriage.
If you have to carry it, do you announce everybody there?
It ain't mine, It isn't mine. I'm just dropping it off.
And if he does it, he gets uninterrupted football for sure. Yeah.
And if you leverage that, yeah, we will leverage it.
We've already ruled in his favor. But would you like

(48:39):
to add something as to the judge, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
He's still to be he is, and I'm still horrified thinking.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
About going there, and you think, oh, this is bad.
Next thing, you know, you're sitting up looking around at everybody.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
I think that I have a love.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
I have a higher threshold of that right now because
I change diapers.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
I just changed those your children, I changed huge children.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Carrying a box putting in in this in my seat
driving to ups dropping it off that that's nothing compared
to what I had to do twice yesterday.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
I mean, so it's just and then if you can
use it, use it.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, I can really bothers.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Act like it really bothers you and have a great Saturday.
I'd say, use it.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Yeah, But do you think it was she should have
asked him to do. Just don't make contact with anybody
when you drop it off?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Yeah, where sunglasses? Wear hat low?

Speaker 5 (49:27):
What do you so?

Speaker 2 (49:28):
You're just driving there in here and it's just sitting
there in your right there and it's your wives.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
I don't even want to know that my wife does that.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Well, it's what song do you listen to?

Speaker 2 (49:37):
You know?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Probably Big Bottom by spinal Tap.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Right, y'all, y'all are causing a lot. I'm not in this.
I pitched yourself opening up the back so you're reaching,
ain't little? How about this person? This person for texting says,
here's what you're forgetting what happened to me? I did
the box thing, went through all of the horror, the
degrading of that, and it came back that I need
to have a couple of mask I'm sorry. So the

(50:03):
ruling is it should not have been asked of her husband.
And if he does it, he gets uninterrupted football all day. Yes,
we ruined his favor, Yes completely.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
I think this falls under You got to serve your
wife the way Christ love.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Love the church, to bring Jesus into this.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Sacrificial that's sacrificial.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
It's actually grotesque.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
It is.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Trump.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Last night, Trump was at Yankee Stadium Adler. Uh, and
let's talk about some of the things that he said, Uh,
one A and B and and looks like we can
get some of that maybe some of the two's, but.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Went to the b's are the Yankee stadium. One A
is not the Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
But it doesn't matter. Okay, Well, well he's going there, right,
so we can talk about him worried about his safety
going somewhere. It still works, you think, Yeah, so let's
go one A. Here's Trump asking about if he's worried,
considering the current events, about his own safety here here
It is not.

Speaker 8 (51:07):
Really, I'm really concerned for our country. We have a
great country. We have a radical left group of lunatics
out there, just absolute lunatics, and we're going to get
that problem solved. I'm only concerned for the country.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
I thought that was a great answer on that.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
It really is, and so is b one be the
reporters asking him, how do you want your supporters to
respond to Charlie Kirk's death? And once again Trump's response
made a lot of sense. Here we go, how do
you want to see your supporters respond to this?

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Charlie kirkus big advocate of nonviolentce and free speech on campus.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
How do you want your supporter to reponsor?

Speaker 4 (51:47):
I think that way he was.

Speaker 8 (51:48):
He was an advocate of non violence. That's the way
I'd like to see people.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Resorting, no doubt about that. He was about a strange
concept of sitting down and having debate, walking out narratives.
What a what a controversial? Yeah concept?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Yeah, I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Earlier we mentioned how you know he does have these
super viral clips where he's owning libs and you know
that kind of thing. If you were to go to
one of his events, that is thirty seconds of him
speaking with people.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
For two hours.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
In fact, I've got quite a few clips I'm gonna
play during the breaks today of Charlie speaking with gay people,
Charlie speaking with transgender people with respect, and love and
kindness and advice, and you know this, there's this there's
this lie being spread that Charlie Kirk was just out
there belittling people and putting people down, and that's just

(52:45):
not accurate.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
No, It's just like everything else. When you're a public figure,
so many people who attack you and go after you,
they do it, and the overwhelming majority of them are
grossly uninformed about you, about your platform, about the things
you actually said. It's like that. And one of the
things that we have seen happen with all this, and

(53:07):
you see Charlie Kirk ultimately being murdered because of it,
is somehow the fact I can be kind to you,
I can respectfully disagree with you. I can respectfully say
this is my beliefs, and since they're my beliefs, I
don't compromise them. I can respectfully be say this is

(53:29):
my devotion to what I believe. It really isn't even
about you. I'm not against you. I'm just for God.
For instance, I believe these standards to be true. I
believe the word of God is the word of God.
And somehow the definition of that has been allowed to
become well, that means you're dangerous. You're dangerous to people

(53:50):
who disagree with you. And even though there's no indication
of that, you can't just speak your mind. You're dangerous.
You must be done away with. If you don't agree
with me, that means you hate me. If you don't
agree with me, that means you're dangerous to me. I
went through this not so not to this degree that
somehow I was dangerous because I had a biblical world

(54:14):
view threatening that I stood for, even against my own family.
And and you know, and it was that you're dangerous,
you're you're you're a dangerous person. Of course that comes from,
you know, the manipulation of demonic forces, uh in our
own depraved minds. But that's exactly what happened, because, as

(54:35):
you said, Adler, and you're showing examples in the break,
Charlie Kirk always had a very respectful back and forth
with people, and even people who he did not agree
with what they thought was true because of his biblical worldview.
He made it very clear that that doesn't mean that

(54:57):
I'm coming in your home or I mean you any
harm or trying to tell you how to live your life.
You just can't convert. You just can't ask me to
conform and acknowledge and embrace and take on something that
I believe to be alive, because now you're asking me
to compromise my faith. You know these people that always
say that we uh the real You know, I'm manic,

(55:21):
I'm screaming, I'm yelling, I'm vicious. One of the things
they claim is they want everybody. You can't tell me
how to live my life. You can't tell me how
to live my life, but then they want to tell
us how to live hours. Okay, so I have to
compromise my faith to be in good standing with you
while you so you you are the very thing you
claim to hate. And that's the part that's always missed

(55:44):
in this monioacal screaming rage. How dare you not agree
with me? How dare you not condone what I want condoned?
And you disagree with me? So that doesn't mean you
just disagree. That means you're dangerous. That's a that's a
whole new concept, and it's a dangerous concept, as we

(56:06):
have seen. Plainly. We'll be right back. We need you
to tell you how to ban somebody off the text nation.
You don't know how to do it. Someone is text
Captain Crunch is terrible, and I want them to be
I want them to go on probation with No. I'm
just kidding. They have it right to their opinion. It's

(56:28):
just they're just wrong, all right. So as uh there's
you may say, hey, I don't do that anymore. I
don't eat Captain Crunch anymore either, but but because I
don't think it's the best choice health wise. However, it's
not terrible. We're not gonna say that about it's still good.
We're not gonna say that you're eating them grape nuts
now right. No, that's the worst cereal I've ever It's

(56:50):
like sand. No, it's heavy, it's horrible. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Grape nuts is like somebody scraped something off their driveway, Like,
what is that?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
I honestly think I thought, well, if it's healthy, I
can work my way through it. Couldn't do it. I
couldn't work my way through it. I always go to
our conference room scenario there, all right, So we're here
with post. We're looking for our next great serial. Everybody
got any suggestions? Yeah, I went to the beach recently
ate some sand. Let me tell you wasn't that bad? Yeah,
I mean, I don't know how any world.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
And what do you want to call it? Grape nuts?
Is there grapes in it?

Speaker 6 (57:21):
Nope?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Is there nuts in it?

Speaker 6 (57:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (57:23):
We think maybe printed? Yeah, and then you have to
ask a horrible question. Okay, if there's neither one of
those things which has been pointed out before, what's this
wacky title you got here? Is this some twin you
and your buddies, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (57:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Are we part of some joke between you and the
guys you have lunch with? Yeah? Right, Let's look at
a couple of things that have happened since the last
time we were together, you know, with all the horror
that has gone on in our country lately, including but
not limited to, sadly the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which
we talked about a lot yesterday. And they do think

(57:59):
they do have a suspect now in custody that we
don't know. They just say it's a suspect. President Trump
seems to think it may be the person that was
on all the video and everything. We shall see.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
But anyway, last night, you know, some concern about Trump
going to the Yankees, game, but he said that he
was absolutely going. Uh so, first of all, here he
is visiting the clubhouse, right is this is this trump here?
A little bit of locker room coming into the locker room.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
George Scheinber was a great friend of myn the whole family.
It's a great family. And Randy is wonderful. And I
will say, you're gonna win. George used to go for
some reason.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
I don't know what it was.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
We won every time I came Randy, is that right?
We came win win a game and he called me
it was you think that was easy city with him
for a game And wasn't. It was a brutal We
were exhausted at the end.

Speaker 5 (58:49):
But he won.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
And you're gonna win. You're gonna go all the way
and you'll get in the playoffs. And I think you're
gonna do I think will start off. How about tonight.
We'll start from tonight off and do well. The Boston
Red Sox came to the old office. They wanted to compensate.
What if I gonna say no? And they won fifteen
games in a row. Right, So we're changing the luck

(59:14):
here right now, We're change it. So I just want
to wish you does a lot like your great players.
I know every one of them. Let me shake hands.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Around here knows every one of them, right, guys, Only
only Trump is that Mojo Trump. Trump is saying he's
above Mojoe. He he just took credit as a person
who admits he's a New Yorker and loves the Yankees.
He still took credit for a fifteen game winning street
with the Red Sox. I'm not trying to brag the

(59:42):
everywhere I go, we win. Well, he warned us tired
of winning. Yet he warned us, we get tired of winning.
Uh So he did have a great night there with
the the Yankees. Uh I will tell you what was
kind of crazy? Is this with the with Trump and
Aaron Judge. Here, I have another story that Speedy had
pulled that before he had to go that Judge actually

(01:00:04):
hit two home runs after meeting Trump, which of course
Trump's taking credit for. Every person shook her hand probly,
So I shook the hair in Judge's hand. Yeah, how
big he is?

Speaker 6 (01:00:17):
What I did? So?

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Do you have that much fun? So you have to
hit them?

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Talking to Aaron Judge and Aaron Judge goes on to
hit two home runs in the game. So Trump had everything. Well,
of course he did. Greg I touched his hand and
he hit two home runs. I mean, some people were
saying it had nothing to do with it. He's a
fine player, but I mean that's just what happened. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
They did show him during the national anthem, and Trump
got some pretty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Big Okay, here we go again. He got pop Because
these things always are weird to me. You'll go, You'll
watch CNN, They'll say he got booed. You watch Fox
News they say he got cheered. And what what I
probably think is true. Since this is America, he probably
gets both a little bit of right. By the way,
the Yankees did beat the Detroit Tigers nine to three,

(01:01:06):
So Trump effect, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm
just so here here he is being shown on the strength.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
See by.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Night.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
What's so proud? That's fine?

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
A lot of noise. Whichever way you got, I was good.
I think that if I was asked to give the like,
if it was a somebody said, we got we mixed something. Here,
got a little bit of this little bit of this?
Which one do you taste the most? I taste applause
the most, I think. So there's no doubt there was
a few bitter booze. But I do taste the more
applause than I do boots where you go if it

(01:01:52):
was a mix?

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Agreed?

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Okay, so I think so right? You Greg, get what?
Don't do that? You're gonna hurt. You're going up better,
you better started up, you better be glad speed You
not here? Yeah you don't. You got home? Or you
better get on board.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Let's listen to it one more time and we can
really decide if if people do or not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
You're terrible the way you keep using that. Sorry, it's wonderful,
but there's something about girl.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
She just passed out. It's not funny.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
It's pretty funny. She's okay. She had a broken nose.
Well yeah, but but she's okay. She fell on great.
You know if you got I want to keep playing it.
I never got an update on this person. This person okay,
and in mind, we got to keep playing. Let me
tell you this. We're gonna play it one more time

(01:02:51):
and then we're done with Okay, all right, Greg, it's
not funny. I can't get enough of it, y'all. Everything
in the audience and you know what. Funny, that's what
she gets from being so mean on what's happened. So

(01:03:17):
that's it. I'm not sure I've seen people pass that,
but I've never seen one drag it out that long.
I mean, she passed out for like fifteen yards. She did, Greg,
I have to, I have to, I have to disagreed again,
go back to I have to disagree with you. Yea
once in Panama City. I saw that happen for twenty feet.

(01:03:40):
You're right, right, so Thistlett. I mean, let's not get
grat they got a little head from the truck dragging him. Yeah,
that was interesting. Yeah, yeah, so you know, if he's
just trying to get in. I don't know what made
that person do that. I know that. And this is
why the over consumption of alcohol is not a good

(01:04:01):
thing and the reason why the scriptures talk about what
drunkeness it caused all kinds of problems. It makes you
apparently think you can stop a truck. Yeah, and uh,
and no it doesn't. I mean he was strong. He
really was a very strong guy, and he hung in
there a while. But I think him thinking he could
grab the tailgate of a truck and stop it was
a little bit delusional. Now, he hung in there longer
than we thought. Yeah, and he slid a good way.

(01:04:22):
He did slight a good way and of course uh
knocked to the top part of his front two teeth
that when he finally hit the pavement. But it was
you remember that, remember the yeah, yeah, he didn't care.
Oh it's horrible. Yeah. Picture picture like a person grabbing
the tailgate of a truck for some reason, thinking he
could stop it, okay, and the truck saying, I think

(01:04:43):
we're going on. But he refused to let go. He
refused let go, and he dug his feeding pretty good.
But then he started being drug and then his was
amazing the grip he had, how long he held on
to that, and then of course when you come loose,
you know, than the face right there on the next day, Yeah, man,
it was yeah, I mean next day a lot of
swollen lips and all that. Incredible story. But it could

(01:05:05):
have been it could have been bad.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Did y'all see the Swedish health minister.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
Collapsed at a press conference on her very first day
on the job.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
That's not very healthy. That was just just like, what
are you going to play that over and over again? Too?

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
There it is.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
That's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
I didn't see it bad first day. I didn't say
did you hear it? I heard it?

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
Yeah, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Uh go here, Rick Burgess Show onscreen phone calls, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:05:39):
Hey, they let's how you guys doing this morning?

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
We're good?

Speaker 9 (01:05:42):
Well, I got I kind of need some advice today.
My issue is is I'm kind of struggling with my
faith at the moment, with with the way the world's
going and all the evil in it today, And I
just want to know how y'all keep soldiering on when
a lot of the evils outwigh in the goods.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Well, I mean, you say, struggling with your faith? How's
that made you struggle with your faith? Well?

Speaker 9 (01:06:04):
With just with all the evil in the world, you know,
I try to look at the positive of everything and
go the way God wants me to go, and it
just seems like every step I take forward, I get
knocked three steps back. And I got kids from four
to fifteen, and trying to raise them in this world.
It's just it gets harder and harder every day.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Does it surprise you that things in the world are bad?
Based on what Scripture told us. Why would this surprise you?

Speaker 9 (01:06:30):
Well, I guess it really doesn't surprise me. It just
kind of makes it hard to deal with on a
daily basis.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
Well, I think, yeah, let me let me try this
because I know, I you know, I've been we all
have been through tough things. Try this approach because it's
the reason why. If you ever wonder why these things
are allowed. First of all, what's caused all this is sin?
Not God? Okay, now what's allowed? God does allow these things,
and he is working out of planning some things He's
even caused, if you'll you know, we're studying the book

(01:06:58):
of Job right now. I bet Job would tell you
right now to cry him a river.

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
But but you know what the bottom of mind is.
These things shouldn't make us, you know, less faithful. It
should make you more faithful. When I look around and
see that I was clinging to this world more than God,
it's giving me uh you know, which I think is
one of the many reasons God allows these things. And

(01:07:24):
the scriptures are are full of reasons God allows these
things and why these things happen. It's making me love
the world less and love Him more. I realize I'm
more heaven focused now than I am earth focused or
or worldly focused. I'm realizing that if I'm clinging to
something that isn't going to last, it is not going

(01:07:46):
to fulfill me. It is wicked, it is evil, and
there's glimpses of God and his glory, you know, here
and there to show us where He is. But my
confusion is not that the world is so bad. I'm
a little more enthused about how gracious and merciful God
is because that's more surprising to me. I think here

(01:08:06):
on earth we're getting what we deserve when it all
goes bad. What's really incredible is when God has gone
to the cross for me to be sure that I
don't get what I deserve. That is what's shocking to me,
and that makes me love him more. And when I
see how wicked the earth is, it just makes him
all that much more wonderful. It would actually, it would
actually inspire my faith.

Speaker 9 (01:08:26):
See, that makes a lot more sense, a lot more sin.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Well, thank you man, that's kind of and thank you
for trusting us. But look, look throughout the scriptures. Do
I want to be fair and I've been there too.
Look through scripture there's some pretty solid people that love God,
I mean in many ways, and they had their times
of discouragement. I mean, look at look at Elijah, look
at Moses, you know, look at Jesus in the garden himself.

(01:08:50):
You know, at one hundred percent human side, it was like,
if there's another way to do this, let this cup pass.
And you know, his capularies are bursting and mixed with blood.
I mean, he's under some stress. So I'm not saying
you're wrong to be there, but I'm glad you called.
And hopefully the conversation has helped, because that's why we
should be here for each other and to keep reminding
each other of the truth.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
And if I could jump into so thanks, I can
totally relate to what that guy is feeling. And in
these moments, I kind of use it to remind myself.
It's a very very easy reminder that we live in
a falling creation and this world is not our ultimate
resting place. This world is not this world is not
for us. And John sixteen thirty three says, I say

(01:09:32):
this that you may have peace in the world. You'll
have tribulations, but take heart, I've overcome the world.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
Yeah, and you keep remembering that last part, and that's
where that piece comes from. He's overcome it. This isn't
how it ends, but he is reminding us not to
fall in love with it right now. I don't think
anybody's having a hard time falling in love with the world.
We become heaven focused, and then you kind of know

(01:09:57):
how to maneuver through all these things because you realize
at the end of it, all those that have been redeemed,
it's all resolved that your biggest problem has been overcome. Okay,

(01:10:18):
So breaking as we start this hour, if you're listening live,
it looks like there's yet another update on the suspect
and the Charlie Kirk assassination. Uh well, okay, they are
saying that now. The Utah governor is saying that the
suspect's family went to the police and turned him in.

(01:10:39):
Uh so we'll update you on that. So Adler tell us,
is that accurate? In a nutshell? I can just join
it live if you want, so, Mike's not on IM.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Sorry, that's all me. I can just join it live
if you want, if you want to. This is the
very beginning of the press conference. They just started a
minute ago, so we'd be like a minute or so
behind the actual.

Speaker 10 (01:10:59):
Live Sure, go ahead, buddy, you got it, You got it.
He's waiting for something I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
We got him.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Okay, Okay, here we go.

Speaker 7 (01:11:15):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
We got him. Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:11:19):
On the evening of September eleventh, a family member of
Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted
the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had
confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.
This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff's Office
and seen investigators at Utah Valley University. This information was

(01:11:42):
also conveyed to the FBI. Investigators reviewed additional video footage
from UVU surveillance and identified Robinson arriving on UVU campus
in a Great Dodge Challenger at approximately eight twenty nine
am on September tenth, in which he observed on video
in a plain maroon T shirt, light colored shorts, a

(01:12:04):
black hat with a white logo, and light colored shoes.
When encountered in person by investigators in Washington County on
September twelfth, in the early morning hours, Robinson was observed
in consistent clothing with those surveillance images. Investigators interviewed a
family member of Robinson, who stated that Robinson had become
more political in recent years. The family member referenced a

(01:12:28):
recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to
September tenth, and in the conversation with another family member,
Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked
about why they didn't like him and the viewpoints that
he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full
of hate and spreading hate. The family member also confirmed

(01:12:50):
Robinson had a gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified an individual
as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate, who
stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made a joke
on discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the
messages on discord. He opened it and showed several messages

(01:13:10):
to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the
screen as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate. These
photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between
the phone contact named Tyler with an emoji icon and
Robinson's roommate's device. The content of these messages included messages

(01:13:33):
affiliated with the contact tyler stating a need to retrieve
a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in
a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where
a rifle was left, and a message referring to having
left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also

(01:13:54):
referred to engraving bullets and a mention of a scope
and the rightfle being unique. Messages from the contact tyler
also mentioned that he had changed outfits. I know there
has been speculation as well as to the writing on

(01:14:15):
those casings, those those bullet casings, and I believe we
have that as well, and I will.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Share that with you now, but I can gues us.

Speaker 6 (01:14:29):
So.

Speaker 7 (01:14:29):
The area north of Campus Drive Road where the suspect
crossed over, you saw some of that in the video
that we released last night, consists of a grassy area
with trees on the edge of the UBU campus. Investigators
discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark colored towel.
The rifle was determined to be a Mouser Model ninety
eight thirty six thirty six bolt action rifle. The rifle

(01:14:53):
had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted
inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle.
Inscriptions on a fired casing read notices bulges, capital, wo,
what's this question mark. Inscriptions on the three unfired casings

(01:15:13):
read hey, fascist, exclamation point, catch, exclamation point, up arrow symbol,
right arrow and symbol, and three down arrow symbols. A
second unfired casing read oh bella chow bella chow bella
chow chow chow. And a third unfired casing read if

(01:15:34):
you read this, you are gay lmao. We are indebted
to law enforcement across the state who has worked seamlessly
together local law enforcement, state law enforcement, and our federal
partners with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Were grateful for

(01:15:55):
everyone who worked together in such a short amount of
time to UH to find this person UH and to
UH and to bring justice. I want to think the public.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
So so there you go. So they they feel like
they have the guy. UH. Parents talked about conversation or
family members talked about conversation, they got, well, I don't
know what this disc the chow chow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
I didn't know what.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
No, I'm telling the one the place. They said they
saw his messaging back and forth with someone let him
know where he'd dropped the rifle. What is that called discord?
Is an app?

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Is like a messaging app, and I believe it's encrypted.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
Like yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
That looked like he had somebody he was working with
that was supposed to come pick the stuff up, maybe
to give him greater chance of getting away with it. Uh,
here's where the rifle is, Here's where I put it.
So I don't know about that, but uh, but obviously
this looks strongly he is a suspect. At this time,
he'll he'll go through the the due process. But uh,

(01:16:55):
awful lot of evidence pointing that this is the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
And Fatil jumped up. I don't know if you want
to hear any of that. I haven't had a chance
to screen it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
But no, that's all right. Just to me, that's the
information I think everybody needs. This is the guy. It
looks like the guy. And Tyler Robinson, twenty two year old,
a resident of Utah and family member, says he started
having an act to grind. Now remember once again, and

(01:17:26):
ultimately the person who does the deed is responsible, Okay,
and that's who needs to be held accountable. But you
see that he was. He had gotten to the point
where he saw Charlie Kirk. Now, think about how uninformed
and uneducated you are to equate Charlie Kirk's messages, his

(01:17:47):
faith message, and his political messages as fascism, that he's
a fascist. So see, this person thinks that this person
is so dangerous that he's some sort of hero for
killing them because he's helped the country somehow. Now I
want you to understand how in the world you can

(01:18:11):
truly know about fascist and fascism and equate that to
Charlie Kirk. It just means you're you're stupid, you don't
know what you're talking about. You've just heard a bunch
of talking points and you were radicalized that if you

(01:18:31):
just had the ability to think for yourself, you could
have discerned this is propaganda on your own. And the
problem is he you know, of course, there's a wickedness
and a spiritual component to this as well, which we've
talked about that no one else wants to talk about,
but it is true. So it looks like they've got

(01:18:52):
the guy, and we'll see. If not, then he'll be
vetted out and he won't. But this is the suspect.
This is who they brought in and they fill strongly
with all the information. They have a good casing instrument.
