our way through another one today. Speedy Greg's here. Adler
is here. As you heard, as we gave you the
starting lineup. We're not going to, you know, pretend otherwise.
These are the days when we do what we do
for a living. Are the most difficult and uh and

(02:06):
they are because we understand that there's so many of
you out there. Uh and you're you're having such a
wild range of emotion uh and uh and and it's
all over. Some of you are like, I wanna I
want to sit here with you guys. Y'all are like
my friends. I'm so glad you feel that way. And

(02:26):
I let's let's do therapy today. I want y'all to
be my counselors. Let's let's work through this, and let's
let's go through it. Then there's people that say, man,
I need a break from all this.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I need y'all to give me a laugh today, and
I need I need something like uh just to kind
of help me. Then there's people that are saying, I
need something spiritual. I want I want to I want
to talk about this from a spiritual standpoint. I want
to know what's going on in our world. I want
to know if we're approaching you know, the end.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You know, it just feels like darkness is increasing.

Speaker 8 (03:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
And I want to have that conversation today. Hey, guys,
don't forget nine to eleven. Uh. So this is this
We're not pretending this is going to be simple. But
everything that you're out, those those scenarios, and I certainly
didn't name them all because there's so many unique needs
out there, but I will say in general, everything I

(03:22):
just mentioned we will cover. We're not going to spend
the whole show on any of it, but the show
will include all of it. Yeah, So there we go. Yeah,
the show's real. Yeah, and and we understand that, and
so what we will do all of that because that's
our DNA, that's who we are. So we we aren't
just comedy. We aren't just news and headlines. We aren't

(03:42):
just spiritual. We're we're a little bit of all that
now we we we do go more toward the comedy now,
kind of like the early days of of Rick and Bubba.
We we we we definitely are intentionally doing more of that,
and that seems to be so what this show was
supposed to do. However, we certainly didn't leave talking about

(04:06):
serious things either. We still have the Bible study, had
it yesterday. We still talk about, you know, our faith
and the things we believe, and we still do very
serious things too, probably not as much of it when
it comes to headlines and news as we were doing
toward the latter years of Rick and Bubba. But today,
obviously this is at the forefront and we'll probably do

(04:28):
more of it today than we've done this year, but
we won't do the whole show on it, so we'll
kind of mix and match. So it is the twenty
fourth anniversary of the attack on America nine to eleven,
and today we rise adding to that another political assassination
in our nation's history. And those are always jolting, they're shocking,

(04:51):
you know. I wish I really do, And you know,
I'm a grown man. I'm sixty years old. I've seen
some really really horrible things. I've lived some horrible things.
I'm not new to difficulty, calamity and tragedy. However, I
wish I had not seen the video that was sent
to me yesterday, the close up shot. And I would

(05:14):
encourage all of you out there, if somebody sends you
don't just go clicking on things with the Charlie Kirk assassination,
because it's it's traumatizing stuff. It really is. And I'm
not saying that we you know, act like it didn't happen.
I don't mean that, but uh, it's it's some rough stuff,
and you need to be careful what your kids are
seeing and and based on their age and how you

(05:37):
want to walk all that out. But it's it's reckless
out there, and which is normal in the time that
we're living in. So just be aware of that, I
would I would caution you on that. So we we
were all just kind of I actually had finished the
the Bible study and was in a meeting with two
men and we were discussing deep spiritual things and and

(06:00):
so I kind of eased back into my office, ready
to grab my stuff and go home for what Speedy
and I got to do yesterday afternoon, which was, you know,
a pleasure to do. Uh. And I look down at
my phone, and of course what do I see. I
see nothing but text from people simply saying Charlie Kirk unbelievable.

(06:20):
And I'm like, I don't I don't have any idea
what's going on. And then Speedy sent the video to
the group text and I realized something's going on. I
thought I was about to see Charlie Kirk saying something
really you know, provocative and once again, you know, taking
some ridiculous liberal and and showing them that they can't

(06:41):
logically debate him and uh, and I really thought that
that's what I was going to see, and of course
when I clicked on it, what I saw I wish
I had never seen.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
And as we as we start this show, uh, we
we have we do not have anybody in custody. We
have vetted out someone who I guess was a protester.
That was the older gentleman. He's clean. As far as
the assassination, we had a person of interest. I think
they've released them. And so the shooter and everybody behind

(07:17):
the shooter unknown at this point, so we don't know.
Watch some professionals and listen to it. I'm not an expert,
but just based on the things that we have experienced
over sixty years of life and over forty years of
covering things like this, I agreed with the assessment. I

(07:39):
would be surprised if it wasn't a professional assassin. The
way it all happened, and the fact that we don't
have him. Usually when it's just I'm mad and I've
got a gun and I can shoot it pretty good,
kind of like Butler, But after I shoot, I don't
really have a plan. The assassins. They they ease in.

(08:02):
They they if they get you, it's a kill shot,
and they ease out.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
And it feels that way. Now it may turn out
that that's not right, but it but it sure does
feel that way. And then of course you get into well,
if it's a professional hit, uh, who called for it?
And that'll who knows. I don't have that. I don't
have those answers today and no one does. But but
we will see. Now we will talk about, you know,
the broader topic of the state of our society. Now,

(08:30):
I will say this because we do tend to sometimes
live in our own time and forget about history. Political
assassinations have been around a while, yeah, we you know,
we've we've seen unfortunately too many of those, and so
that that isn't new. But the toxic society that we're

(08:52):
living in right now, and what feels like ever increasing
darkness over just disagreements politically and and spiritually. Now, now
that feels you know, when you think about Abraham Lincoln
being assassinated, I mean that was after the Civil War.
The darkness of the Kennedys, uh, Martin Luther King Junior,

(09:17):
you know, and and and the list just kind of
and then the attempts on Reagan and the attempts, the
attempt on Trump. You know, you look at all those
and you know, even though these are all people trying
to kill people for political or moral reasons. Now it

(09:39):
just feels like we're in a time where something that
would have been an elevated debate at the coffee shop
now ends with well, I'm gonna I'm gonna kill you.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I keep trying to make my point and you keep
refuting my point, and I can't seem to win this argument,
and I'm just I'm just gonna kill you, you know, I
mean and or your hitler.

Speaker 9 (10:02):
It just, yeah, you're compared to just because of different
opinions with the mass of mass killer is the worst,
one of the worst mask killers.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, it's like we we we now must destroy you,
as you just said, either destroy your life, your your vocation,
your ability to make a living, are physically kill you
because I don't agree with you politically or morally. That's
that feels new.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the hardest working men

(10:51):
in the business, The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
All right, America, thanks for being with us today. Do

loved one. So why don't you just get a safe
step walk in tub. And they're wonderful. They've got all

(12:26):
Here's the number safe step walk in tubs one eight
hundred nine five six twelve twenty one eight hundred nine
five six twelve twenty or you can just go to
Rick burgesshow dot com and look there right under the
sponsor's button. So, so we we'll unpack the Charlie Kirk
situation for sure. Uh, and we're doing that now, we'll

(12:49):
we'll go back. I mean the thing too, is like
I literally started getting emails in texts yesterday. When do
you think you guys are going to talk about this?
And I'm like, when you're talking about five hours, it's
going to be on our mind. There's no way we're
not going to talk about right out of the gate.
So we may talk about a little while, put a
pause on it, pick it back up. I don't know
any other way to do it. When you're doing such

(13:09):
a show that is so long, and you know you
got people that this show to them is two hours
from now, and others are saying I'm here right now,
let's go. And then you got somebody saying, well, I
want to hear that. So that's the beauty of the archive.
It's impossible for us in the live show to cater
to every need or preference, but you can go back

(13:31):
on the podcast or the YouTube archive and go back
and catch our discussion about anything anytime on your own time.
So keep that in mind too. So we certainly know
this and Adler and I you mentioned the speedy that
really was. I don't want to get overly spiritual as
far as the feeling like that somehow there was a

(13:53):
calling put on this show that was our role in
trying to prepare for the way things are going in
our societ. But you can't really ignore the fact because
you know, we're just one of many platforms that God uses.
Any old Bush will do as we say. He's what's wonderful,
not the platform or the voice that is speaking or

(14:14):
the instrument that's being used. But it is interesting that
we were approached about doing a podcast about the supernatural,
and of course we drew a hard line on that,
saying we're not going to do you know, Bigfoot, space Aliens, ghost,
slender Man, fill in the blank, but agreed if because

(14:36):
feel like it was super important not knowing some of
the things that were ahead. Yeah, let's do a podcast
that will concentrate on trying to educate everyone, including ourselves,
continuing to educate on spiritual warfare because most of the
things that people tilt their head about in our society,
I can't believe that somebody would just do something so wicked. Well,

(14:59):
that's else you're underestimating a spiritual component to all this. Now,
our country for some reason doesn't want to take on
the spiritual component of it because it's not popular and
not everybody shares the same belief So we just we
try to figure out ways to answer things. Well, I
tell you what it's like. When we started themanchurch dot com,

(15:20):
Pat Morley had written not Pat Moore? Was it Pat Money? Yeah,
had written the book many years ago called Man in
the Mirror. I think it's Pat More. I have that right,
check me on that Adler. Is that right, Pat Morley?
Man in the Mirror? Uh So, So, anyway, he wrote
a book that kept talking.

Speaker 10 (15:38):
About Patrick Morley.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, that he kept talking about and he was one
hundred percent correct that the church too many times when
it comes to reaching and discipling men. They keep trying
to address the symptoms, but they're not addressing the disease.
Let's go help this guy with his porn problem, noble,
but why does he have a porn Let's go talk

(16:01):
to this guy about him being a drunk, but why
is he a drunk. Let's talk about how he's not
being faithful to his wife. Why is he not being
faithful to his wife? What's the disease? And so we
have a bunch of events and we challenge men they
need to clean their act up, but then we never
equip them to do it. What's the disease? And he

(16:22):
correctly pointed out in this book, the disease is we
don't really disciple men. We don't equip them. We challenge them,
but we don't equip them. And if all you do
is challenge but you don't equip, you just frustrate people.
So that's when we felt called to say, well, we've
read this book. Pat's right, we've talked about this too.
Why don't we do something about it. So we created

(16:44):
a system and resources to also equip, not just challenge.
We certainly challenge, but we equip as well. And that's
not our concept, that's the Bible's concept. Okay. So I
think we do the same thing, is that we want
to go after the symptoms of the things that are
wrong in our country, but we won't go after the disease.

(17:04):
And the disease is we are spiritually dark. We are
an immoral society, and we continue to blaspheme and allow
God to be blasphemed, and we are perpetuating these wicked
and evil people. And when you are dealing with demonic,

(17:25):
wicked darkness, demonic wicked darkness loves chaos, kill, steal, destroyed.
And what we do is we go I don't want
there to be a lot of wickedness in our world.
And we go out and we create an environment where
the soil is rich for demonic, black, dark wickedness. And

(17:46):
then we seem a gas that it's everywhere. We've created
the soil, we've fertilized the soil. And so now we've
gone from people that could sit down and say, well
I have to disagree with that, and well I disagree
with you, and let's hear your narrative, and now you
hear mine, and this agree to disagree. You can even
get passionate in agree and disagree. But now we're like, well,

(18:09):
I'm so frustrating you. I'm just gonna kill you. You said
something I don't like, So I'm not just gonna stop
talking to you or not agree with you. I'm gonna
kill you. And this is happening in cities all over
our country. It's happening that we saw yesterday. But until
we're ready to take on some tough things and absorb

(18:34):
some real truth from a spiritual standpoint, we're not gonna
change anything. The bottom of the hour.

Speaker 1 (18:44):

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Voic in an Unreasonable World, The Wick Burger Show.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
So thank you for being with us. Yeah, textation, you're
exactly right. And we've actually talked about this at some
man churches. Is you know in the book I mentioned
and I remember and it's so so true. Uh, is
that sometimes you know, we we say this talking to
men and stuff, saying, I think most of us, if

(20:28):
we are worth anything, we would be willing to to
die for our families, die for our wives. I think
some of us who are followers of Jesus, we'd go,
you know what, I would die for my faith and
and and that is certainly noble, but you know, it's
a lot more difficult living for it, living at my faith,

(20:51):
living for my wife, living for my children, living for
the cause, and because you know, that's that's much harder,
and that's day to day stuff, and that's what we're
hoping to try to help with because if something's got
to change with the spiritual component of our country. And
since we're also today twenty four years ago, nine to eleven,

(21:13):
well we've talked about this before. Everybody remembers that the
churches were packed, they were packed, and God was allowing
something to try to get our attention, and for a
moment he had it. He had it. And so as
human beings have been prone to do, not only did

(21:35):
we eventually get tired of that and drift back to
where we were, we went darker than we were before.
I mean doubled down. We doubled down and said, not
only will we return to how we were morally as
a country, we're going to be worse and really really
show you how outrageous we can be, and how dark

(21:58):
and pagan and blasphemous we can be. And there's this
spiritual warfare. We'll talk about it. You know. There now
it looks like Adler and I at one time, it
seems as the weeks go, we're like, all right, we
have a few things we can discuss. And also before
we know, we got more than we can get in
a forty minute podcast. Yeah, so you know, we we
had already planned on talking about the cold blooded murder

(22:21):
in Charlotte. We'd already talked about the school shooter last
week on that episode, and so I guess now we
can add you know, the Charlie Kirk situation and the
other things we're going to cover, and that'll be coming
out this weekend. But so nine to eleven is today
something else that you know, I know we say never
forget I think we have frankly, yeah, And and then

(22:44):
you get into the you know, have we forgotten the answers. Yes,
we didn't learn anything from that we we thought we would.
I mean, we learned to tell people to take the
shoes off, get on airplanes and things like that. But
as far as you know, and we as far as
the morality of the country changing, you know, people tend

(23:05):
to be willing to make deals with God when they're afraid,
but then eventually they get to where they're not afraid anymore.
And and the reason why, as we said, a thousand times.
If you're ever looking for why God allows pain and
suffering is because it works. And and here here we
are again hoping, uh, with something like this where everybody's

(23:26):
pondering everything about themselves and how did we get where
we are? How did we get like this?

Speaker 11 (23:31):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's hard. It's time to ask some hard questions and
make some adjustments. Uh. And but the kind of things
that need to change are going to require courage and sacrifice,
so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
But that's so, that's really all I have on that
right now. I have some emails and stuff that we'll
get into. And hey, Burde and and but if y'all
I know, y'all, may you know I don't want to
get into things that you know that you're gonna be
able to get everyone or else. But I'm sure you
guys have got you know, it was an emotional day
for y'all too well.

Speaker 12 (24:03):
I was just looking back at the you know, Glenn
Beck asked you to be on Glenn back TV on
Friday to talk about the Minneapolis shooting, and they wanted
some talking points and you spit them out in like
like five minutes. You spit them back out to me
and I just want to read them. And this is

(24:26):
before what happened yesterday. Yeah, but it really it really
talks about what you just said and the problem that
we have. This is what I sent back to Glenn
Back's producer. What are the talking points? Rick wants to
focus on?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Signs that it's demonic mental illness versus demonic oppression or possession.

Speaker 12 (24:45):
Number two, how do we comb combat the trend? Number three?
Does it seem that it's becoming more prevalent?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
And why?

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Four this is a big one.

Speaker 12 (24:54):
Does the church seem to be equipping the congregations on
how to deal with this? And five you can't all
spiritual problems with secular solutions. And those really hit home
to where we are yep, in a big way.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah. I don't know whether the Glenn Back TV show
will now pivot to having so much to do with
this that maybe I won't be on, but as of
right now, I think it'll just be added to the
list of things we'll talk about.

Speaker 12 (25:18):
Yeah, and speaking of Glenn Beck, this is after it
broke and I sent you guys that, and I had
not watched the video fully, especially the close up, So
I apologize for sending that to y'all.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
But he reacted in a way.

Speaker 12 (25:32):
He was actually recording his evening show when he could
tell his wife because he has a home studio, he
could tell his wife was in the other room. And
her reaction, he said, he actually said, can we stop
the recording? You know, I need to Hey, honey, are
you okay?

Speaker 6 (25:47):
You know?

Speaker 3 (25:47):
And apparently he had a daughter that was at the event.
If I know this.

Speaker 10 (25:51):
Correctly, and he said his daughter was in the tent.

Speaker 12 (25:53):
It was in the tent, okay, Well, she was very
close by, and so, as you can imagine, he was
very emotional about it. And so I hope that they
continue with this special because I think it can. I
think it's very timely because now you can there's a
lot more to discuss than just the other but it
still hits home to those points that you were discussing.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, and if Glenn is too upset to do something
like that, or that they want to change what they
want to do tomorrow, that's completely understandable. But if that
opportunity continues to afford itself, and as of right now
it still is. I look forward to that conversation and
having boys in their twenties.

Speaker 12 (26:33):
I was able to talk to them all yesterday and
they even said, hey, Dad, I don't know why, but
this one hits different. And I don't know why. I
don't know if it's because they followed him so much,
because if you were under thirty, his influence and his
voice on college campuses and to that generation was big
and to your I mean, Trump was even crediting him

(26:54):
with winning the election because he was able to masterfully
impact and have influence with those in that age group.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
And it really turned things. And I guess that's why.

Speaker 12 (27:08):
But we were able to have long discussions and I'm
seeing through text nation that it offered you, you up
an opportunity to talk to your either adult kids or
teenagers or even younger about this situation in the darkness
that's in this country. But they were like that, I
don't know why. I can't tell you why, but this
one hits different.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Man.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Well, I think you hit on it. I mean, Greg
and I have kids older than Charlie Kirk. He's thirty
one or was thirty one and now is in perfection,
but his earthly life lasted thirty one years. I mean,
like I said, Greg and I both have kids that
are five and six years older than him, you know,
and so I think it's their guy. And he became

(27:52):
as you know, the left and the way they saw
things morally and politically. They took over the education system
of college camp and so Charlie Kirk almost became the
antidote to that. He would come into the college campus
and say, now, I know there's been a lot of
things y'all been taught, but I'm going to logically talk
to you about how absurd some of these world views are.

(28:15):
And then he would always stand on, you know, defending
the word of God, as you know, being God inspired,
that the standards that God laid down, there's a reason
those work versus you know, being in opposition to that.
So he could politically and spiritually defend his faith and
defend his political views. And I don't think young people,

(28:41):
I think they look at Charlie Kirk and when they
see no offense. I mean, it's just a fact that
it's the reason why I don't do much youth ministry anymore.
I don't think they look to me and go I
don't think I'm as effective there anymore. I think that's
why I'm in men's ministry now and sharing and I
do marriage together. You know, there was a time when

(29:02):
I was the you know, thirty something year old guy
on the radio. Maybe now I'm the sixty year old
man with a gray mostly gray beard, you know, standing
up there, and I may have some wisdom, but I'm
not their age, right, And I'm not saying you always
have to be there's wisdom in listening to older people.
I don't mean that, but I'm talking about in certain settings,
a sixty year old man or Donald Trump in his

(29:25):
seventies up there talking about these things to college age
and young adults is different than somebody that looks like them,
sounds like them, is closer to where they are in life.
And he says, oh, no, what these older people are
saying is actually right. Absolutely, that's a whole different thing.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (29:42):
Yeah, I think Speedy to your point too, is that
he was so young, and he had his act together,
and he was so eloquent, and he was so good
at putting out his opinion and it was based on
the Bible and it was based on history. His daily
podcast I was a listener to. He was over the
past year he became my favorite podcast to listen to.

(30:03):
He was encouraging he also made me feel like such
a loser in a good way.

Speaker 10 (30:09):
He was so yes and just how early here.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
There are many people that said that they met him
ten years ago and they were like, uh, you know,
big big time political commentators were like, one day I'm
gonna be working for that kid.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (30:23):
Yeah, And uh, he just was. He had a great
way of saying things. I think that it's people people said.
You know, all he did was talk to people.

Speaker 10 (30:33):
That's all he.

Speaker 9 (30:33):
Ever did, and he was he was hated so much
for it. But yeah, all he did was share his
thoughts and share his opinions. And that's an important thing
to remember. He was a huge free speech guy, a
huge family man, and just just it's just so sad
to see the one year old and the three year
old that are going to.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Be yea and raised when you're in that that time
of life now, so I know that hits hard with
you too, and right, and you're you're close to his age,
so I understand a little bit older, but you have
small children too. He was in that time of life
you're in. But another point, Adler, which that's beautifully said,
he didn't just say he wanted to talk to you.
He didn't deny you the opportunity to refute what he

(31:14):
said and debate. He wanted you to take the mic
and say, prove me with it. And that's why he
was happening. Yeah, and that's why I want to talk
about that. That is somebody I thought said this beautifully.
On Text Nation. We had Rush Limball, they had Charlie Kirk.
As far as that logic teats you why the conservative

(31:35):
point of view. Now, Rush wasn't as evangelical as Charlie,
but from a political standpoint, You're right. We'll be back.
You got the Rick Bergers Show. Thanks for being with us.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
This is the Rick Burgers Show. Go ahead, Admitte. This

(32:16):
show has started your growing you, isn't it? The Rick
Workish Show.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Thanks for being with us. As we walked through another
difficult day. Twenty four years ago, we were all working
and went through the attack on nine to eleven. So
this is the twenty fourth anniversary of that today. So
we'll talk a little bit about that coming up a
little bit later on in the program. Adler also unfortunately
and Adler has the update now since the last time

(32:44):
we were together, we talked about the Charlie Kirk horror,
but also another school shooting of some kind. Adler tell
us what happened.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
Yeah, this is east of Denver in Evergreen, Colorado. A
student shot two of his peers Wednesday in a suburban
Denver school, Evergreen High School. And it kind of got
swept under the rug as we all saw the horror
of the Charlie Kirk event. The shots were fired inside

(33:13):
and outside. Law enforcement came and within five minutes they
found the shooter had taken his own life. One of
the students is stable and the other student is in
critical condition.

Speaker 10 (33:26):
Again, this is at Evergreen High School. It's just east
of Denver, Colorado.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
So there you go, more and more and more, And
that kind of takes us into a couple of emails
that were sent in overnight, obviously wanting to discuss this topic.
So it says, so hey, Burge, Charlie was only thirty
one years old, his kids both under four. Now that
a father owed the evil. What a great man. He

(33:52):
was a follower of Christ and an advocate for reason.
If there's no tribute for him today, I would be shocked.
Please spend at least two or three segments on this
great American hero, which we've done, and then he says, warning,
please tell people not to watch these graphic videos out there.
It said needless death over a peaceful conversation. Whoever did

(34:13):
this needs to be found and and and you know,
punished to the full extent of the law. So anyway,
Uh that that's a great point, and we have talked
about that. You're right, certainly, and we'll talk about it
more later in the program.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Hey, burd Hey Burge. I know you guys will talk
about this, uh, which we're already doing, but I want
to send you my thoughts on it. I've been a
listener to the Wednesday Bible study on Acts, which we
did a long time ago. This week you mentioned the
boldness of the Apostles so many times, and I just
knew it was God's showing me something, and today I
saw it. I don't want to compare Charlie to the

(34:48):
Apostle Paul by any means, but I think his platform
of going to college campuses and debating the world through
the lens of Christ was very bold, and I honestly
don't think he was killed for any reason other than
the fact that he met opposition in a spiritual way,
and he was changing the uth's point of view and

(35:09):
the generation and turning them toward Christ. My thoughts was,
you've mentioned suffering for God's glory. When I heard the news,
that hit me big time. How is this tragedy going
to bring glory to God? And I think Charlie answered
that partially because three days ago he made a post
about revival in the youth of America. And I want
to say, I think his senseless murder was the beginning

(35:32):
now of that revival that he was already seeing. Said
and also, do you think that he would be considered
a martyr for Christ? Now, thanks and have a great day. Well,
obviously I do think he was killed, no doubt because
of the evil side of it in the spiritual realm,
no question. But he was also killed for his political views.

(35:55):
But the fact that he was so bold about his
faith publicly and was working to turn others to Christ
with the platform that always brings spiritual war, because his
platform was worthy of attack. So yes, I think certainly
in many ways. Yes.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
And if I could read this is from Erica Kirk,
Charlie Kirk's wife, earlier in that in the earlier in
the day yesterday, she actually tweeted out this verse Psalm
forty six to one. God is our refuge and strength,
at very present help in trouble.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
So wow, timely Yeah, well.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Very so one more hey birds. Like many people, I'm
shocked by the news of Charlie Kirk's passing in the
terrible situation regarding his earthly death, but I'm surprisingly at peace.
It's not that I'm not angry or upset, of course
I am. It's not that I don't have an earthly
reaction or opinion on it. But in spite of that,
God is still at work to provide peace and comfort

(36:55):
in the midst of tragedy. He certainly does. That's That's
kind of where I've been since the news broke. I'm
not really one to talk about my political views in public.
I have my views and views that align with what
Charlie stood for, but I know this whole terrible situation
will be politicized enough already, so I think it's important
to focus on how God can turn what the adversary

(37:16):
meant for evil and turn it into good. I find
peace in knowing that Charlie is in the presence of
the perfect savior, that he so intentionally sought to make
known and honor. I'm comforted by the fact that, while
tragic and hard to understand, this didn't take our Lord
by surprise. I'm reminded of Psalms one thirty nine sixteen
and how God knows all the days that we are
to live before we've ever lived one. You are correct.

(37:39):
I look forward to seeing how God now takes this
terrible event and uses it to further the kingdom of heaven.
My hope is that we won't waste this suffering, as
you have taught us many times, that drives us to action,
to love people, to share the hope of Christ, be
light in such a world of darkness. I pray for
his family, as I know many are, but I find
myself challenged, convicted by his death. I hope to live

(38:02):
my life with such passion and fire through my relationship
with Christ, with the enemy, with that same enemy, and
I hope he sees me as a severe threat enough
that he'll have to deal with me. I certainly don't
wish this upon myself, but I do want to have
that kind of impact. That's Carson, you know what, That's

(38:22):
exactly right, Urson, And so many times when people try
to go after someone who's making a difference. We've seen
this throughout our history in a moral way and calling
out the immorality of the world and demanding change from
a moral and political stance. The adversary always underestimates this

(38:48):
and thinks, well, just kill them and that'll be the
end of it. And so many times the adversary, as
he's done so many times, and these wicked demons, they
just play right into God's hands and they martyr someone
like this, and it only makes the movement even stronger.
It happens when the church is persecuted, and it usually
happens when someone with a voice is made of market.

(39:12):
So they probably would have been better off to have
just left him alone. And now it likely will make
his impact only stronger. I hope that's the result. Like
New Carson, and it challenges all of us the top
of the.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Alm, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Really really fired up about this. Now a lot of
you have responded so quick to this new product that
my wife has already gotten on to me. She goes,

Speaker 3 (41:23):
You gotta find.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
The voice of reason in an unreasonable world, the Rick Burtish.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
That's when we're here, baby, voice of Reamson. Uh we understand,
not not very popular these days, not very normal, but
we we press off speedy, Greg and Adler are here.
Uh So a lot of you, I know are wondering
if we're going to talk about the Charlie Kirk assassination.

(41:54):
We did the entire first hour, so if you miss that,
I go catch it on the arcout today, and of
course we'll continue to talk about it on and off
throughout the show too. It is the twenty fourth anniversary
of nine to eleven. We have that going on today too,
And sadly there was another school shooting since the last

(42:15):
time we were together. Two people shot there, one in
critical condition, one looks like they're in stable condition. The shooter,
of course, killed themselves. And we've taken on all that
in great to tail in the first hour. So if
you miss that, go back and grab it again. It
was just there was no way to come on and

(42:36):
say we let's wait till later in the show to
talk about this. It was fresh on our minds, it
was fresh on your minds, and so we have covered
it quite a bit. I do want to add one
other thing that a lot of you are mentioning. And
we do know this that you know, when you get
fired by MSNBC for saying something negative about conservatives or

(42:59):
people of the Christian faith, you really stepped out of line,
you sure did. And of course this person could anybody
you know, I've noticed this a lot, have y'all in
our society is people don't even know how to be
remotely appropriate. Oh that's gone. Can anybody know? Can anybody
read the room? I mean, can anybody read the room anymore?

Speaker 13 (43:21):
So?

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Matthew Dowd, Now is he also the nimrod that said
now we're just now hearing this. I mean, it might
be one of his supporters celebrating that shot a gun.
And I don't know if that might have been one
of the dumbest things I've ever heard. That might have
been the same guy. But somebody MSNB said that. I
remember MSNBS when somebody told me that, I thought person's exaggerating,

(43:43):
And then I heard the recording of it, and I'm like,
that's a level of sin, that's a level of stupidity
that I can't even and I'm pretty stupid, and I
can't even comprehend how anyone would say something that dumb
on on a you know, cable news whatever is in
a room by time, I mean the seventeen eighteen hundred

(44:05):
people that heard it probably were very confused. Yeah, but anyway,
but Matthew Dowd has been fired. Yeah, because immediately he
began to blame Charlie Kirk for someone assassinating him. Yeah,
saying that, well, this is what you get when you
talk hateful. I'd like to know what I'm paraphrasing, but
that's really what he said. Here's his exact quote. Do

(44:27):
you have it? Okay, So here's the exactly this is
the one you're asking if not I have it in
writing here, but here he is.

Speaker 14 (44:33):
He's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger
figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing this
sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.
And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to
hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I

(44:53):
think that's the environment we're in that that people just
you can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you
have and then saying these awful words and not expect
awful actions to take place, and that's the fortunate environment
we're in.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Charley.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay, again, I know this is obvious, and I know
this is almost feel guilty to point this out because
it's so obvious. Okay, it's almost like I'm running the
score up. Anybody got Matthew Dowd on record saying we
shouldn't be calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, anybody because, by
the way, that's hateful. It's not very nice. Anybody got

(45:28):
him saying we shouldn't be saying calling Charlie Kirk bad names?
Are people who support Charlie Kirk? Did y'all think that
Charlie Kirk? Did y'all ever call him names? Did y'all
ever label him with things that are hateful? By the way,
Charlie Kirk simply stating his beliefs, which we've talked about this,
we knew this was coming, yep, and what he believes,

(45:51):
and then asking you to debate him and let him
know what you believe, and then him refuting here's what's
wrong with having a debate with your ideology? Uh. And
here's why I believe the Bible, here's why I believe
conservatism is the way to go. That's not hate speech.
That's someone saying this is what I believe, and this

(46:11):
is what I think is true. I thought y'all were
the party of everybody can have their own truth. Yeah.
By the way, you talk about people who say one
thing and live another. Wow, the radical left, they are
the meanest, most vicious. I mean, come after you. I
mean I've seen it firsthand. You say we've lived it. Uh,
but but see this. And I commend MSNBC for finally

(46:35):
saying this is too far, this is ridiculous. Yeah, uh,
and firing him. It is crazy, inconsistent, so inconsistent. And
so again, if we're gonna if we're gonna round everybody
up and we're gonna say, everybody up, what's happened to
our society? We're gonna have to look at every bit
of it, as we said last hour, not just the
preferred things. Yeah, we're gonna have to unpack it all

(46:57):
and everybody come clean and say, hey, right, here's on me. Hey,
I got to rethink. But guys, the problem is, and
we said this, and there's a spiritual element, and like
I said, I do not believe that all mental health
is demonic. Let me be clear. And we've said that
on Strange Encounters. We've said it on the show. I
don't know. I know that the brain is part of

(47:18):
our bodies, and it can be sick, and there are
people that can help people who are menally illed due
to a problem physically and chemically with their minds. That's
not demonic. However, there's also a demonic element to a
lot of this that has nothing to do with the
chemicals in the brain. And people who perfectly their minds

(47:40):
perfectly as far as they know, they're not being trapped
by something, they're being trapped by something demonic and evil.
And so with the combination of those two things out there,
we're in a time now where you can make statements
and do things that at one time didn't put you
at any risk at all, all that now do. And

(48:02):
at the end of it all, it's it's there's there's
a deep seated darkness that hopes will be so terrified
by the scariness of all this that we will no
longer be bold enough to speak the truth. That's what
that's what's at the end of all this, right, and
and the spiritual realm more importantly, and to some degree,

(48:23):
the political realm. But what draws that demonic stuff is
not the political. It's the moral that's right. And the
political certainly there's people that get upset and jump up
and down, do all that and that crazy. But if
you wonder where the wickedness and the darkness comes from,
is if you have your political view mixed with a
with a you know, my worldview comes through the prism

(48:46):
of the word of God, God's standard. I'm not against you.
I stand with God. And then the darkness is with
Then we're against you because we're against Him. And so
but we can't let it, you know, as as the
apostle Paul said, to live as Christ to die is gain. Uh,
you can't let it turn you into a spiritual coward.

(49:09):
That's right, because that that can't be the result. No,
and now you don't need to be dumb like have
have Do we have some wisdom? Do we have security?

Speaker 14 (49:19):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Measures that we never had before? Yes? Somebody said, Rick,
when you go speak, is there more security measures than
there was in the past? Yes, there is. Yeah, you
don't want to be dumb about it, you know. And
and you know are all of us you know, armed
and know how to use the firearm?

Speaker 6 (49:35):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Can we defend ourselves. Yes, you know, are we probably
you know, do we vet out people coming in here
at a level we didn't in the past. Yes, you know,
so all that's just common sense. But but to be
afraid to speak what is true, that's never gonna happen.
And I think I can speak for all of you,

(49:57):
all right, So we'll be back. We'll continue to work
through this. And you know, we have talked and broke
down the most important elements of this, which is a
spiritual element, and you've done.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
That so well.

Speaker 12 (50:12):
But there's some videos out that we either needed to
de bunk or go hey, this might be on something
about people that they might have seen.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
On the roof and stuff. Okay, it's a pretty interesting conversation.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
This is the Rick Burgess show, Strange and Colors, the

(50:46):
new podcast from Rick Burges Get it no wherever you

vox or Rick Burgess show dot com under sponsors. So again,
the archive will be big for you today because a
lot of you may want us to discuss things by
the time you join us live that we've already discussed,
so be sure and go back and catch that. So
we've talked quite a bit about the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

(52:17):
but now and we talked about the spiritual element of this,
the political element of this, but now we're into the
who did this and are we ever going to get
them and find out who did it? So this has
now led to video footage of this and video footage
of that. Experts believe that there's very little doubt that

(52:41):
the shot came from the buildings there on the campus
of the university. The theory seemed to be holding around
two hundred yards away. Most experts believe the accuracy of
the shot, the way it was placed, probably not military
training but likely professional assassin. Assassin may turn out not

(53:07):
to be, but that's what they think. And the fact
that we don't have them they were able to slip
in slip out.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Yep, hopefully we will.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
But there's these videos circulating of people claiming to see
someone on the roof and those were not so sure
about no.

Speaker 12 (53:20):
And that's I mean, as we just break this down,
like we're all sitting at the camp house today, i'd
like to and for the radio audience, we can break
it down. And you might have seen these already on
social media. There's one that's coming from inside what looks
like maybe somewhere on campus, like a student building or
something like that. It's from inside looking out to the

(53:43):
quad where he is speaking there on campus, and in
between what the two flags that are hanging down outside
the window and right where the vertical pole is, you
see something that looks like a little person on the roof.
And what we're trying to determine is that just a
smudge on the window or is that actually a person

(54:04):
running off running back like they just shot and they're
running off the roof.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
And what we have.

Speaker 12 (54:11):
Determined, and Adler brought it up, it looks though as
though it might just be a smudge on the window,
and so we'd I thought it would just be smart
to kind of try to debunk that. So while of
you don't get pulled in that smudge.

Speaker 10 (54:23):
I think it might be a smudge.

Speaker 9 (54:25):
This is it's wild footage because this is the moment
you can see the entire crowd duck down like boom,
they all everybody gets down.

Speaker 10 (54:33):
So this is the moment it actually happened.

Speaker 9 (54:37):
What makes me think it is a smudge is that
there is a bar of the window frame right next
to the dot, and if the bar moves at the
same rate that the dot moves. That tells me that's
not a person on the roof. That tells me that's
a smudge.

Speaker 10 (54:52):
On the window.

Speaker 9 (54:53):
So I don't know, speedy, this is this is the
first time you showing it to me, is the first
time I've seen it.

Speaker 10 (54:59):
I am slowing it down here to let's say, half.

Speaker 9 (55:02):
Speed, and we can see that the bar moves what
looks like to me at the same pace as this
as what could be the shooter on the roof or
the or the or a smudge on a window.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 9 (55:16):
No, I'm using the bar as a gauge for speed.

Speaker 12 (55:20):
And movement right right. Obviously it was from an elevated position.
And like you said, Rick, they're saying one hundred and
fifty two undred yards away, and the other is and
I'll give Adler time to pull this up. There's a
side view of what somebody is saying. That looks like
somebody's laying on the roof. Like, hey, that's that's clearly

(55:40):
a person right there.

Speaker 9 (55:41):
Right, And it does look like a person on the roof.
But have we confirmed it was a person?

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (55:47):
That's that's that's what we're trying to figure out. And
we're showing that down. That's what that one to me
looks more than the other one does.

Speaker 9 (55:53):
It does, yeah, but again that could be I don't
see any movement that that tells me that it's it's
a person. So you know what I'm saying, It could
be the shadow from another building in the back behind
her right right.

Speaker 12 (56:04):
And in this video, the guy is describing what he
says is it looks like that that that little blob there,
It looks like somebody it crawled from the back of
the building to this side of the building. Uh, or
they ran from there to there and that's why they
started rolling video.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
But really, oh wow, So I don't know those but
those are the two. Yeah, I'm moving there. Yeah, those
are the two videos that can we see the one
of the movement, yes, uh yeah, I'll.

Speaker 9 (56:34):
Go back and I'll just let it play full because
it's it's so choppy looking when it's yeah, okay, so
uh there you go.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
So he's looking around and he he thinks he see
right there. M that's the that's that's that's what we
think might be a smug right, and and then the
and then this other one.

Speaker 10 (56:52):
The prone one where he's laying down.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Yeah, it doesn't the one though that is supposed to
show him running then laying down when there are one.

Speaker 12 (56:59):
H well, the one the one here is is uh
and there might be another one.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Rick. When this guy started it, he said that he
had just ran from the back to the front. I
thought that he actually had footage of the guy and
you can see him moving. Then he goes, well, this
is the guy that Now look it's just laying there. Okay, yeah,
I'm sure before that, right right, And and there's a
there's a couple of other things here too that.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
This might help speedy. Just this is just a picture
of you've got at U v U.

Speaker 9 (57:27):
Charlie was down here in the tent in this kind
of outdoor amphitheater area. This is where his tent. He
was facing this way, and this is the rooftop we
just looked at. And now that other footage that we
show is that the same rooftop?

Speaker 10 (57:45):
Is my question? Are we are we are we looking
at the same rooftop?

Speaker 12 (57:49):
That makes a lot of sense what you're what you're
talking about, because one, for those of you that can't
see that, we're just showing up. We're showing uh, like
an aerial shot of the campus and one piece of
video is coming kind of from behind where Charlie was,
and then the other on the rooftop that we're showing
that's that's the center of the rooftop of the building

(58:12):
that we think that little person that the person was
running and then gets down almost like military cross to
the edge.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
And that one when you see the guy running. Then
he says, that's now I'm seeing where the guy ran
to that they look like it does look like and
likely that maybe is where it came from. Now we
have some somebody texting claiming the shooter has been brought in.
We see no indication of that now because.

Speaker 12 (58:35):
They're doing actually a live update right now that a
manhunt still underway. And I think the confusion is rick
they brought that, the police said that they got somebody,
and then they released them, and then the FBI haven't
announced that they had someone and then but yet they
released them.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Everybody they've questioned, they've released saying they were not the shooter.
So that may be where the texture is confusion. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 10 (58:58):
Multiple arrests were made yesterday. You know that you had
that gentleman who looked like.

Speaker 9 (59:04):
A middle aged white guy being arrested right there on
the spot.

Speaker 10 (59:08):
I have the right to remain silent on this.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
That's middle aged, by the way. Sure, yeah, and.

Speaker 10 (59:15):
He did, he did. I that was the wrong word.

Speaker 9 (59:18):
And then you had the other guy like on the
on the street, the sidewalk people claiming he had a
rifle right there in the front dash of his car.

Speaker 12 (59:25):
Yes, I've seen that when that looked like that was
a European pellet gun. So so but so you know that,
but that was I saw what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
Hadler as well. We'll come back and we'll take your
phone calls. Next unscreened phone calls, the number eight eight eight,
the number six, big box. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, God Fearing and America

(01:00:16):
Loving the Rick Bridges.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
All right, so let's see the most dangerous ten minutes
in radio. We have read emails, We have a commentary
on today. Two big events today, one new one four
years ago, remembering nine to eleven, twenty four years ago.
We'll get into some of that coming up a little

(01:00:42):
bit later on. And also yesterday's horrors, including the assassination
of Charlie kirk. So but on unscreen phone calls, you
can talk about whatever you want to, but we want
to give you the opportunity. Some of you, you know,
are texting stuff in. We're looking at that. Thank you
for those quoestquestions. Will answer those as best we can
impossible to see them all.

Speaker 9 (01:01:03):
Here's a better and we're just trying to figure this
out and not jump to conclusions.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Gang and a concept.

Speaker 9 (01:01:08):
Yeah, and that's that's we're just trying to find the
truth of this. Here is a better, more zoomed in
and stabilized shot of the smudge what I thought was
a smudge, and it is moving much more human.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
Like, here's the footage I was talking about.

Speaker 10 (01:01:21):
Oh wow, it's stabilized and it looks a lot better.
That sure is a person like a movement.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Yeah, that's okay, the good job that that is definitely
a person now, well, I know the good great. I
know the FBI has has face recognition technology that's pretty advanced.
I don't know if that is that enough for them,
I don't know, but we'll see to the phones we go, Yeah,
that's definitely a person on the roof. And wow, somebody

(01:01:48):
on text Nations said, I use my hunting app, which
these are very advanced to take the property. And if
he was on that building, the shooter. Really it's only
about one hundred and thirty six.

Speaker 10 (01:01:58):
Yards and it's a straight shot.

Speaker 12 (01:02:00):
And whoever you are, quit text in eight times in
a row. Good gracious, thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:02:05):
See we see it, man.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Yeah, And I've noticed there's a three, three four that
while they're multiple texts one see hold on, let me
see here.

Speaker 7 (01:02:14):
Man.

Speaker 12 (01:02:15):
I appreciate you, buddy, but one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
come on, ten, eleven, come on, come on, come on now.

Speaker 10 (01:02:23):
But this is a straight shot. This is a straight shot.

Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Upon the first horrible, horrific viewing of that footage, I
was thinking you're going to take a shot that would
be came from the side, but that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Yeah, no, I think I think they I think you
hit him in the front right here, shooting forward and sadly.
Uh to the phones, we go, Welcome to the show.
On screen.

Speaker 13 (01:02:44):
Phone calls, go ahead, say this is Nathan from Huntsville.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Okay, go right ahead.

Speaker 15 (01:02:53):
I just wanted to call in and talk to Rick,
you know, the whole Charlie Kirk thing. All these men
out here, you know, going out but claiming the Gospel
of Jesus Christ doing a public venues things like that. Man,
I just I just wanted to as the whole Rick
Burgess Army just to pray for Rick as he goes
out and continues to do that for his protection and

(01:03:14):
everything goes on hand.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Oh thank you for that. Yeah. And and man, I
have prayer warriors here in this studio, and you're right,
so many great ones out there and all the men
that are on the team and and so yeah, we
we are prayed up. I remember even all the way
back in the Billy Graham days when people would ask
him what do you need when you're going to do

(01:03:36):
an event? He so I need three things. I need prayer,
and I need prayer, and I need prayer.

Speaker 8 (01:03:42):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
And so thank you for that. That that's that that
is one of the most powerful weapons we have. And
I've been guilty of this too, brother, I have where
sometimes I think it's a last resort or well, I
guess I could pray when I'm when I need to realize.
According to scripture, man, that's the most powerful thing we have.
I mean, it really is the Word of God in prayer.
I mean, that's that's offense.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Uh, we continue so thank you for that. That's very kind.
Rick Burder's show, go right ahead, you're on unscreen phone calls, Hey, morning,
goes Hey, buddy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
I quit Colin eventually.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
I've been seeing multiple videos and everything, and multiple people
talking about that the shooter was at a downward angle,
of course, but they're saying that when it hit Kurt
that you can see a trinkle of fluid coming from
his chest and they're saying that it hit his collar
bone and ricocheted up and that's what has come out
and what you know made it pass away.

Speaker 9 (01:04:38):
I mean, bullets will go in a weird pattern in
people's bodies that they will they'll ye.

Speaker 10 (01:04:45):
But yeah, it looked like a juggular was was. It
was just completely.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Destroyed just from things and the knowledge we do have
of high powered rifles. The minute I saw the video,
I wish I had never seen. When I saw it,
I told the guys, I said, he's now. Yeah, there's
just no way we continue. Rick Burder's show on screen
phone calls, go ahead.

Speaker 16 (01:05:07):
Hey, Rick, this pastor Jay.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
How are you good. I hope you're well good.

Speaker 13 (01:05:11):
I can't hardly hear. I couldn't hear, so if somebody
has already addressed this. I'm gonna hope I.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Don't retreat it.

Speaker 13 (01:05:18):
But I could not not call about Charlie Kirk. I
do remember nine to eleven as well. I remember exactly
where I was. I remember delivering. I was on my
delivery job.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
I'm by vocational.

Speaker 13 (01:05:33):
I just remember trying to get to my wife and kids,
you know, just make sure they were okay. We were
under attack. I didn't know what was going on. I
just trying to get back to them. And just want
to address that one first. And if you cut me
off as fine, but I just wanted to say that
as a nation, no, we haven't learned the thing. Because
in New York, where that actually happened, they're about to

(01:05:54):
elect a well a socialist, communist, communists, Muslim mayor.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:06:02):
It's just nothing unbelievable to it blows my mind. Learned
nothing but on the Charlie Kirk king, if I could
real quick. This was from my youngest son, Titus. He's
twenty years old, and he wrote me last night and
he said, all Charlie want, all Charlie wanted was to
fight for a better future for people my age and
for America in general.

Speaker 17 (01:06:21):
And he had to die for that dream.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Yeah, well he's he's in a long line of people
who you know that we can say similar things about.
So thank you for the call. That's true. You know
from the text Nation it was a really profound question
a minute ago, and they said, you know, when you
when you think about the world since its fall, can
we really say that things are getting worse? Or have

(01:06:44):
they always been this bad? And here's how I would
address that. It's a great question. Well, we know that
it's been worse because one time God killed everybody, but
eight people killed everybody, Okay, so that was a biggie.
And he said that all human beings ever did was
a It's all they cared about. It's all they thought about.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
That's all they did. And he killed everybody except eight people.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
So I would say, then, what I can say though
my time on Earth, since I've been here, not the
whole history of the earth, you know, and maybe you
could say this is as bad as I've seen it
since the New Covenant began, since the Resurrection, since the
Church Age began, as far as my lifetime, it has

(01:07:28):
definitely gotten darker. Think now the history of the whole
world since creation, you'd have to say, well, no, it's
been darker because the point I just gave you in
Genesis chapter six. So yeah, it's hard to argue that
it's worse than that because but remember also we're under
the New Covenant, so you know, we're under grace and mercy,

(01:07:49):
we're under opportunity for redemption. The power of the Holy
Spirit has been here since Pentecost. So I would say
from that forward, Yes, I would say that the time
I've been alive, things have gotten more wicked and darker
in my lifetime. Break it down, simplified. Think of things
fifty years ago they were considered offensive that we don't

(01:08:09):
even blink at now, right, that's right, you see what
I'm saying. Yeah, yes, it is dark. Yeah. I remember
Adrian Rogers god Rest is so one of the first teachers.
Even after he'd already passed. You know, I was still
learning so much from him because of people documenting his sermons,
which I'm so grateful for. You know, he said what
Greg just said, He said, there are things that at

(01:08:31):
one time were secluded to the dark alleys that now
strut down Main Street. Ye, And so yeah, in our
lifetime it has gotten darker. History of the world probably not. Yeah,
that was some pretty dark stuff. Well well when you
kill everybody but day Yeah, but again that was before
the New Covenant, so you got to put that in
play too. We continue Rick Burcher's show. Unscreen phone calls

(01:08:53):
go ahead.

Speaker 18 (01:08:55):
Hey, I'm not sure if y'all brought us up or
anybody has seen it wanted, but I just want to
bring up the y'all have seen State University professor posted
something last night or yesterday afternoon and he's been fired.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Yeah I haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
I haven't seen that. We knew that was coming. Yeah, middle,
well look for it. Thanks for letting us know. Get ready.
We know MSNBC has fired somebody, but I haven't seen that.
And TMZ has come out.

Speaker 12 (01:09:26):
Uh, they were live streaming during this, and there was
clapping and everything coming from an adjacent room outside of
their main control room, and uh, it was terrible timing.
They have come out and said that was card chase
or something. The person was caught, it was ended, and
they were clapping. That had nothing to terrible timing, but

(01:09:48):
had nothing to do with the shooting of Charlie Kirk
and the assassination. And they were really falling over themselves.
Saying that that was not them clapping that he was shot.

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
The Uh, yeah, that's that's what That's what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
That's what they're saying. That's all I can go. Text
earlier was great said, who do we think on the
View is gonna get fired today or saying something inappropriate? Yeah?
Probably nobody, right, But I don't know if MSNBC fired
somebody the VIEWMNT. Yeah, but I want to tell you.
I can't tell you that the View is gonna take
the point of view like they did on the cold
blooded murderer in Charlotte. They blamed mental illness for that,

(01:10:24):
not evil.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
And today they'll blame a political rhetoric for this. Yeah, oh,
but not the left.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, simply outworking the competition.
The Rick.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Yeah, ain't no loaf no loafing around here. Here we go.
Thanks for being with us America, Charlie Kirk. We've unpacked
in great detail. So if you missed that, catch it
on the archive today. Yesterday's Wednesday Bible Study now available,
Job chapter thirty say, if you're following with us through

(01:11:09):
the Book of Job and like one of the emailers earlier,
we have archives of Bible studies over the last ten years.
So you can catch those two find those by going
to Themanchurch dot com and just use the media button
our Burgessministries dot com under listen. We do have a
good number of them on our YouTube channel too, but
we have discovered that YouTube will get rid of archives

(01:11:31):
after they reach a certain age, so all of them
may not be there anymore, but a lot of them are.
So some other things to discuss. We we we remember
nine to eleven, twenty four years ago today, so you know,
it's it's interesting how little you know children know about

(01:11:53):
this and we're supposed to pass history along now based
on my trip to Tingle Dinglewood Festival and my conversation
with children. Please, parents, please, if you are well versed
on American history, teach it to your children because the
government schools are not.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Fact.

Speaker 3 (01:12:15):
But we had Nanima, a texture that is a former
intern that's right, said now teaches fifth grade? Is that right?

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (01:12:24):
Blah blah blah, fifth grade, yes, fifth grade elementary school teacher.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Any insight for those of us that will have children
today that we're not alive during the attack on nine
to eleven, twenty four years ago on how we can
educate them on this, well, I think you have to.
You have to be willing to say that we You're
not trying to scare kids, but there are enemies of

(01:12:49):
our country that exist, and even though we are a
free country and a constitutional republic, the freedom is never
paid for. People are constantly trying to take it from us.
We continue to have to pay the debt to continue that.

(01:13:10):
We're so grateful for all those that have and continue to.
And sometimes people are so against who we are and
they mean to do as harm that they'll even try
to attack us on our on our own soil. And
I think if you're trying to really look at history,

(01:13:31):
I mean, other than the Civil War, this was the
first time that we ever were attacked on our own soil.
I remember the way that felt, don't you That was
I mean, of course the Civil War we were fighting
against ourselves, so that that's we never had a foreign Yeah,
civil War Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven. Yeah, and
Pearl Harbor, like I say, it was on the lower

(01:13:53):
forty eight No, but so yeah, So I would I'd
educate them on what the motivation was that we were
considered as part of the West to be a great
evil by a radical religious point of view that believes

(01:14:14):
that we all should submit to their belief system or
be killed. And they were able to commandeer airplanes and
use them for weapons, and talk about the adjustments we
made as a country and what we've learned about from that,
and then talk about, you know, how it affected all

(01:14:38):
of us, how it changed a lot of us, how
many lives were lost, and explained to them, you know
why we have to have a military, that we live
in a world where we have to protect ourselves. It's
nothing to be terrified of, and they shouldn't be gripped
with fear. But just tell them it was a time

(01:15:00):
and talk about the heroes, the people who were so
heroic trying to rescue people and did rescue people, and
you know, it'd a great time for them to honor
first responders and have a great maybe a greater respect
for them than they do. I'd use that as an
opportunity to talk about that these people sure don't do

(01:15:21):
it for the money. They do it because they're trying
to serve our communities and it's a call on their
life and we should be grateful for them. That's right,
great opportunity to talk about that. Yeah, yeah, I think
you just hit all those great points. Yeah, what the
country was founded on, our beliefs, our freedom that was
attacked because you know, they're against everything that the West

(01:15:43):
stands for and what we stand for, and so it's
a great opportunity to talk about the history of the
country and how it was founded and our principles and
that are forgotten. Now we've talked about that today. Oh yeah,
those are all great points. Yeah. The War of eighteen twelve. Course, honestly,
when the British came back, they were angry. They still
thought it was theirs though, but you're right, yeah, yeah,

(01:16:04):
that's a good point. That is a good point. Yeah,
so that you know, I talked about that out at Tinglewood.
The Revolution is extremely impressive. But War of eighteen twelve,
that was a miraculous victory because hey, this time they
came back, they were ready. Yeah, and they were mad
and they and it was There were some things that

(01:16:25):
happened in the War of eighteen twelve that, of course
used at one time were studying the history books. They're
not now like miraculous storms that kind of came out
of nowhere. That normally didn't happen during that time of year.
That helped us win. So it's interesting. So, yeah, you're right,
War of eighteen twelve. Good point. So I would I
remember going to work? Oh, I mean, isn't it amazing?

(01:16:49):
I remember being live on the air. Yes, my goodness.
Greig and I were talking about this before the show.
There's some markers in your life that it doesn't matter
how many years passed by, you still remember like it
was yesterday. And obviously that's one of them. As as
you know, some of you that are really were real young.
It's it might it be hard to remember, but if
you were an adult or old enough to remember things,

(01:17:11):
I'll never forget where we were, where I was standing
in the studio, Rick the Real Sunshiny day. Yeah, yeah,
it was a beautiful day. It sure was. And uh,
Greg was not on the show yet, so it was Speedy,
Bubba Me, Don, Juan, Mark Prater, good Weather, Mickey Dean

(01:17:32):
was in the studio, Jim Dunaway and at one point
Jim Dunaway came up, Yeah he did, and and that's
kind of that's who all was there during during that time.
And it and it began to be unpacked while we
were on the show. If you want to hear that,
you can go to wherever you get music. All the
Rick and Bubba CDs are there, And of course it

(01:17:56):
would be on two thousand and one a Space oddity, Yeah,
I mean a radio audi. Yeah, I think it would
be on that one. Yeah, and you can find it
on cuts, so you can just buy the cut. Greg
and I were talking nine to eleven tribute. It's there.

Speaker 12 (01:18:09):
Greg and I were also talking about the fact that
we were in New York that year and when uh
and went what what was it?

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
The North Tower? What's everyone we were in We're in
the very top of it. Yeah, we were at the
restaurant that's at the top and we were sitting there
looking out over New York City and yeah, it was
I guess January maybe or February of that year. Yes,
what was you XFL?

Speaker 12 (01:18:33):
Yeah, the x FL and and so matter of fact,
I think we went back and found the exact date,
and I can't remember, but we were up there.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
And had lunch, yeah, and uh And was already in place.
Oh yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 9 (01:18:46):
So the video that we've we've played in the past
that's available on our social media as well, if you
just just search uh September eleventh, Thrick and Bubba.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
Okay, yeah, so you can go and here the speedy
put it together. All that out to put together some
stuff too for video, and you can kind of relive
what it was like for us to be on the air.
But I know a lot of you remember what you
were doing, and some of you have requested because it
is nine to eleven and we are looking back on
twenty four years ago when we were attacked, could you

(01:19:18):
get the national anthem coming out of this particular break?
And answers, yes, you can. I think it is appropriate
to play that today. We certainly don't do that every
day on the show any longer on this show, but today,
no doubt it's appropriate. So we'll do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):

Speaker 19 (01:20:01):
It specific time.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
So siss.

Speaker 8 (01:20:36):
S s s s s.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
S America, are you ready for more of the Rick

(01:21:09):
we'rgers shows?

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
Here we go America playing the national anthem in honor
of those that lost their lives twenty four years ago
on the attack on America nine to eleven. So we
have discussed that. We have also discussed at great length

(01:21:32):
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You know, the show usually
concentrating mainly on the lighthearted with a little updates on
what's going on in the world. That of course, has
been very difficult today because there are you know, two
very serious things, remembering nine to eleven and then what
just happened in the last twenty four hours, and then
we have another school shooting too in Colorado. So it's

(01:21:55):
been a heavy day. We have unpacked it in great
detail and had some incredible conversation about it. We still
can going forward, but if you missed any of that,
you can go back and catch that on the daily archive,
either on the podcast channel and the the YouTube channel.
I would strongly encourage you to to catch those first

(01:22:18):
two hours if you get a chance to, especially the
first hour we really kind of uh that's when we
spent the most time on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
So you can you can pick that up on your
own time if you missed that today. So thanks for
being back with us, Speedy, Greg Adler or are all
here the you know, we we were mentioning that we
will talk about other things today. I do have you know,

(01:22:44):
this this thing on a very very like note. I
don't know if if this is the right thing that
we've done or not. And I'm going to share something
and I want to kind of see where this lands
with you. And mean it looks no, I mean on paper,
you know you think, well, you know, maybe this is

(01:23:04):
a good thing. Okay, Oh boy, I'm very concerned.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
Well, I mean, I don't think they care, but I wonder,
you know, if we should. Maybe that's so after I

(01:23:30):
sent you this email it comes from David. David, I
sent it over to you today with pictures included. Hey Bird,
hay Burge. While all I can say was on my
way home from Savannah and what do I see? Dublin
four miles ahead? Oh yeah, I look up their address

(01:23:53):
on Speedy's Instagram. Okay, boom eleven minutes away. What the
heck are you serious? As I drive up, Carolyn is
sweeping next to the road. What Larry whole bird out shirtless?
What would you just say that again? Shirtless? He was shirtless? Well,

(01:24:14):
he likes to be shirtless. Yet meets me as soon
as I get out of my car. They are one
hundred percent the genuine article, right again, Greg, Amen to
that they invited me in. Wow, Carolyn twice asked Larry
if he'd put on coffee, got the tour, saw the patches.

(01:24:35):
They invited me to stay for lunch. I even got
Larry on the sled. Enjoyed these pictures which Adther is
showing the tubers right now he was and showing there. Uh.
Carolyn made me take a picture of his shoes. She's
still on him about wearing these boots.

Speaker 12 (01:24:51):
Yeah, she doesn't like the boots, so like his.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Boots, says, no kidding. What a find awesome couple there
he is. I'm excited. I'll give you a full update
when I see you, guys coming up on the twelfth.
I guess of October in the vox seats. No, maybe tomorrow,
maybe he's here. Oh wow, that's right, tomorrow, se the twelfth. Okay,
looking forward to that. Right to talk guys, and this

(01:25:14):
guy obviously super nice guy. I'm just I'm worried about
them just letting strangers come in there. And we've talked
about this extreme intentions. Do you remember I told you
that a fan of the show went by and shot
fireworks off the night before.

Speaker 12 (01:25:32):
And then and I didn't know who it was direct
ever come clean on that. Yeah, I think so, because
the next day I met a gentleman who stopped by
and he kind of acted like he was the one,
but as soon as they met him.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Didn't know who he was. Hey, come on in, you know,
And I'm like, wow, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:25:53):
And they're just so kind, so genuine, and they just
they just love everybody. But there he is, y'all. The
sled is exactly where it was when I was there.
And there's the jacket, a red jacket.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
I would like to know it. Am I the only
one that's just gonna you know? I thought we're supposed
to be observant. Why in the world does Larry have
on a University of Houston the same thing I'm about
to ask. I think he likes it because it's red. Now,
don't forget he's posing in front of a picture of
a bunch of sled dogs pulling a sled.

Speaker 12 (01:26:20):
Looks really hot in there, guys that front that front
room's hot?

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Should we should? They just let people? And now people
know where they live. They want people to know where
they are. They're just so sweet.

Speaker 9 (01:26:29):
So we keep saying it, are you sure you want
your address out there? And he keeps saying, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
If you'll get sad patties, Yep.

Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
It's worth the patches. When you're a patch addict, you'll
do anything for.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Is this going to be the I see the Dublin
Georgia exits, so I take it and go see that.
That's the new thing. That's what this guy just did.
He's not the first one. That's right, It's happened before. Disappointment.
If you're going through the Dublin, Yeah, you need to
go in there and check them out.

Speaker 20 (01:26:56):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (01:26:56):
If he's here tomorrow, I can't wait talk to him
and I can really have a conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Okay, So are we okay with this? I mean, should
be careful encouraging. It was very good, but we don't know.
Like Greg said, they're grown they're grown by need. That's right.
Larry's shirtless out working in the yard at the University
of Houston. Sharon real quick, she did, Hey Brge, Hey Burge,
Captain Cook here with a question. Captain Cook, I'm a

(01:27:23):
day behind, almost caught up. I was a little bit sick,
but I just like the caller a few episodes ago,
asking about the silver box on your left that you
fiddle with. That silver from there, because at first I
didn't know what the first person I didn't know, but
now Captain Cook explains it. It sits behind your microphone

(01:27:46):
my view on YouTube, and I see you pressing buttons,
but occasionally you also play some kind of overlay on
top of it, so I know it's just now and
press buttons. Usually you use this to play sounds like
Larry's steam patches, what about the dogs, et cetera. I'm
intrigued now. I want to know more about this magical
production box and why you lay different overlays on it.

(01:28:09):
Also love seeing Larry and Carolyn they are again in
the studio. Uh it was like they were excited like
little kids in a candy store. After hearing Carolyn talk more,
I've come to realize she sounds just like my grandma Luise.
Oh wow, hey Graandma Luise shameless plug. I'm working on
getting a few patches to send over, but our police
department new the new recruits don't even have patches, so

(01:28:32):
there's a shortage. I wonder if that's due to Larry
and is he collection possible? Whoever makes patches is backed up.
So Captain Cook says we're in the YouTube live chat
right now? Can you help us? Yeah, well this is
this is called an instant replay. This is a more
modern version. This is it. We just say this was
the latest. Yes it is. Yeah, it's also called a

(01:28:53):
three sixty and it really y'all help me because you
know my tech it's really a computer. Is that correct?
Am I saying that pretty much? So it's sort of
kind of and the works like that, and you're right
what you load things in here and then you can
instantly access them, like all the ken Osburne voiceover stuff's
in here. You mentioned to theme songs, they're in here.

Speaker 8 (01:29:17):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
And the overlays mean like they're different banks, meaning for
hot buttons, like here's two, I hold it, this one
has this one has different stuff on it than overlay one.
So if I if what I'm looking for is and
I want it on a hot button, I put it.
I put overlay two over it, and then I go
over here and say bank selection, I say I want

(01:29:38):
to and so now everything on this overlay, you know,
I can play by just the touch of a button
right here. What about the say I want to do
a ken osburn drop.

Speaker 1 (01:29:52):
He doesn't OCD. He just likes things to be a
certain way, Rick Burgess, and.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
Say we got the wheel coming up. Come on, we
want to meet the box. It's all right there, it's
all right there, and so you all right, speedy loads
all that in. Then it's available. Now if I want
to search something like the National Anthem, just then I
go over here and I press fined, and then I
type a few letters and then it'll say here it is, Birch.

(01:30:22):
And then I had then I had enter, and now
I've got it. That's good. So so that's that's it.
It's it's It gives you instant access. Yes, it's listed here.

Speaker 10 (01:30:31):
I'm I'm on their website.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Top quality audio in a modern workflow. Ye, at the
touch of a button. It is a radio host dream,
Yes it is. It was a lot more complicated. Do
those things long long ago when when I was young, Birch.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
We'll be back. This is the Rick Burgess Show, only

(01:31:09):
in America. Could these four men do this for a
living God bless America. This is the wick Bug You sure.

safe professional monitoring agents. These agents intervene in real time

(01:32:24):
before the break in even happens. Most security systems are reactive,
not simply safe. They're proactive. Okay, so my window's not broken,
my door's not kicked in because we identified these people,
got law enforcement on the way in real time. Hey,

got there's a fire a medical emergency, whatever the case
may be. Simply safe dot com slash Big Box no

interesting afternoon. Boy did we interesting afternoon? As you know,
because Greg, you and your family, not you personally, but

(01:33:31):
your family have also been involved. Yes, is young Broderick,
the aspiring film producer who has produced a number of
short films and does a lot of work with his company,
he and his wife when it comes to videography and
editing and producing and now taking on first ever full

(01:33:51):
length picture. So he wrote it, he's producing it, He's
hired out the actors and all this, and so been
using you know, the family when he can. As matter
of fact, I talked to the guys yesterday, but speeding
I got to meet everybody about them coming to your house. Greg, Yeah,

(01:34:13):
they were like that, Well we had a great time,
you know what they kept saying. Wow, Yeah, Greg, got
got nice layout up there, beautiful land they took a
picture of pace Yep running through the weeds and who
always does the right Oh he did good? Yeah he
did good. Said you were a little bit nicer than
they thought I was. Behavior. I talked to one camera man.

(01:34:36):
He said, did he tell you got lost in the while?

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
Yes he did. Yeah, Brody did, Yeah, brot the GPS
let him down. He was almost there. Yeah. So uh
but you may when this movie comes out, you may
see speeding men or just my head. He was at
my house. I went ahead and told him if he
wants to watch Tangled Web and see me in action,
may use me in future projects.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
I never know.

Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
You know what you need to do? Send him your real.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Yeah, do that girl?

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
Send that to him, just you know, so that I
need a card, Jack Victim can I can? I tell
you what was hilarious? So he was trying to get
some extras together for some sort of graduation scene and
I want to kind of face Speedy head on. But Greg,
here's what's funny. So I kept asking him. He said,
he said, Dad just talked to you, you know, your sons,
shoe class, you know, talk to some people, you know,

(01:35:28):
get friends, family, And I'm like, well, you want me
to just talk about it on there. He goes, Dad,
do not, do not, don't he said, do not get
on the air and do an all call. He go
and I said, well, I mean he's not he's not
femline concept.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Larry would go, yeah, no, Wow, I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Be sitting up here to be hey, hey, Brody, Brodie,
have you think these patches maybe more Gary? How come?
I ain't it. I'm gonna give a broad about maybe
developing a movie about a man who collects patches. The
next bray loosely based on a true story. He didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:35:59):
I thought this is a short film because I've heard
you talk about it a lot. There's a big difference
between a short film and a feature film.

Speaker 3 (01:36:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:36:09):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
And let me tell you what was funny is they
asked him to talk to some of the extras that
were there that were aspiring film students and drama and
all that, and he goes, well, he said, I've actually
done about thirteen or so short films. He goes, most
of them not very good. He was talking about how
you learn you and he told them what bang on

(01:36:30):
your craft? What I can't I haven't forgotten? He said,
you know, I knew I wanted to do this at
four years old? How about that? And he's right, I
remember all that. But anyway, so they were they were
seen they need some parents and and look up walking
into the gym is one Speedy and Terry Wilburn. Yep,
and this is what I hear? Yeah, am I where

(01:36:52):
is he at? Sell me the face you had on
when you're sitting you know, my best work. You know,
you know, we learned if you're supposed to be talking,
but you can't use audio because their audio picks of everything.
If you just keep saying peace and carriage to each other,
look like you're saying something. Yes, oh it does work. Yeah,
you just mouth piece and carriages.

Speaker 5 (01:37:12):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:37:13):
And they said you could act like you're clapping, but
don't make the noise. So it's like, oh right.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
And what was what was funny? Greg? Straight up? You
know what we were worried about. And we weren't even joking.
Speedy's head at the shine the two things. I saved
two seats for Speedy and Terry. And sure he goes, uh,
y'all not gonna sit together? She separates, She separated, We're
not gonna cut up? Probably she goes, no, no, no, that's

(01:37:39):
too much.

Speaker 1 (01:37:40):
We need to.

Speaker 3 (01:37:40):
Spread y'all out, like stood up and said, you need
to move over here, tear between me. Probably, I guess, ma'am,
and I moved. So there was two things. I mean,
I couldn't have been front more front and center. Uh,
and it was the glare on my bald head. And
they didn't really know how to tell me. They gave
a little bit.

Speaker 12 (01:37:58):
So because they said find a sea, we might move
you around according to where we needed gray. I knew it,
and I was concerned about something else. And they might
split the couples up and I'll tell you about that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:10):
But it was it was a really cool experience. Terry
even went. She even drove on the drive home.

Speaker 12 (01:38:15):
That took us an hour and a half for the traffic,
which is she said, you know, it was kind of
neat to see the behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
It was we'll tay more about when we come back.

Speaker 1 (01:38:23):
This is the Rick Burgess Show doing what he was
born to do, The Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Thank you for being with us today, America. From the
text line, what's the name of the song that you
played coming out of the break last time? Last Break?
That was extreme extreme wholehearted. That's what you're looking for
their texture. Thank you for the text, extreme wholehearted. All right,
So we speaking our talking about yesterday and we have

(01:39:02):
covered all the big stories of the day and we'll
hit some more of that if you want to. If
we as we get new developments, there's one, Adler, you
want to hold off on that. There's possible working on it,
working working on it. You want to give it a
little more time.

Speaker 10 (01:39:15):
Yeah, Yeah, let's let's yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
We'll give it a little more time. There may be
we may have an update on around the Charlie Kirk assassination,
but we'll let you know. But we have talked about that.
We talked about nine to eleven, twenty four years ago
today we were, you know, doing the Rick and Bubba show.
Then Speedy and I were there in the studio, and
then of course Adler and Greg gad. It was just
a little fella. I guess you were probably I would

(01:39:39):
say sophomore. Sophomore so I say, probably fifteen somewhere.

Speaker 10 (01:39:42):
Yeah, And it's I've talked about a bunch on the air.

Speaker 9 (01:39:44):
It's the first time I watched the news by myself,
and it was remember that it was odd. It was
just watching the world burn was the scale of destruction
was just horrific and unbelievable. The I've said this before too,
I'll make it quick. There was say kind of a
half and half in my high school in which after
the first plane hit, many teachers in the school were

(01:40:08):
just trying to figure out what was going on. So
they put on the news on the TV in the classrooms,
and so then when the second plane hit, many of
my peers watched that second plane hit live.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Yeah, we did two on the air.

Speaker 10 (01:40:19):
And so my teacher that I was in did not
have that on.

Speaker 9 (01:40:24):
So I was among some of the students that didn't
see it live, and so that was a big, big
moment for my entire generation in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
Amen. So yeah, so we talked about that, and we
can revisit some of that too, but right now we're
kind of lighthearted. We read some emails about somebody who
stopped and visited Larry and Carolyn. Of course they were
wonderful hosts like they always are. Yeah, truly, and this
is becoming a trend. Somebody said the answer to that,
maybe Larry just needs to do a patch museum in
his own house, get a billboard. Exit here. Larry's Patch Collection, Dublin, Georgia,

(01:40:55):
Home of Larry and Carolyn, Home of Larry's Patch Museum.
Have about that. I like that Home of the Page,
like everything about it, so speedy. And I yesterday not
trying to bring attention to ourselves, but we were extras
in a movie. Raise hand if you've been in a movie. Yeah,
and Greg has tangled. Well, of course everybody remembers the
probably the pivotal moment in the movie Rusting when I

(01:41:16):
said nope, yeah, but anyway that so I got little
something brewing too. I may be about to starting another movie,
but we're trying to get dage worked out. But oh
okay it the latter. Yeah, kind of kept asking my son, wha.
I wasn't casting this one, but anyway, So, so we
were extras. Sherry did not want you and I sitting together.

Speaker 12 (01:41:35):
Well, we we walk in and they have the seating
set up, Greg, and it's in a gymnasium like on
the basketball court, looking at the stage, and it was hey,
general admission, just come in and sit down. So we
obviously sat beside each other. We had to, and it
was from left to right Sherry Rick, then me, and
then Terry, which lasted about fifteen seconds. Sherry said, now.

Speaker 1 (01:41:58):
Y'all need to move.

Speaker 12 (01:41:59):
Y'all need it's almost like the teacher separating the kid.
Remember that you and so she put Terry in between
the two of us.

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
Can I tell what she said? And I said, why
an't you separating us? You know what she said? It's
just too much. Yeah, and they don't want people talking,
they don't want people goofing all this, and you're hacking
on everybody. Yeah, And I said that his money, Rick.
But I'll be honest with you. One thing she misjudged.
I just cut up with Terry. I know, you instigator. Yeah,
and you'll put people tell you carry I mean Terry.

(01:42:28):
Terry likes a good one, Yeah, especially on me. Yeah.
And oh yeah. And of course I kept saying that
speed he was gonna get moved because we weren't on
the front row. It was the graduates, then we were
the next we were the parents, and uh so we
are the first row of parents. Uh And I said,
they're gonna move speed because of the glare office head.
It's going to happen. And those of you watching YouTube,

(01:42:49):
you see it. You see it. It's this glare right here,
and to destroy a camera shop.

Speaker 12 (01:42:53):
And so they what they do is greg they get
these they get the phones, okay, and they take pictures
and and and roll video to see get an idea
of what it looks like before starting. And then so
when they would take a picture, they would take a
picture and then look over the phone and I mean
look right, and I'm like.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
They looked as shiny. So many times I said, so.

Speaker 1 (01:43:13):
I'm about to be moved. I'm about to be moved.

Speaker 3 (01:43:15):
Here I go, I'm about to be moved. We're gonna
put you by the back door. Yeah, yeah, could you move, sir?
And luckily that never happened.

Speaker 12 (01:43:22):
But what I did think was gonna happen was that,
you know, I've always said Terry and our family, she's
the one that never ages. I tend to age, and
she gave me and so I just knew they were
gonna go.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Hey, y'all don't go together.

Speaker 12 (01:43:37):
Ma'am, could you go sit with that guy over there,
and sir, you go back over here by yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
I kind of found I kind of found myself, like
you having to make a case that this is my wife.

Speaker 1 (01:43:46):
Yes, no, no, we're married.

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
They looked at speedy man, speedy in both of us
and I'm serious. Their face said everything. Remember this is
supposed to be a high school situation. They looked at
us and said, we'd like for y'all to sit with
other women. Yes, And we were like, what do you mean.
It looks like you're a bunch of old men that
picked up two high school girls, right, And we're like, wait,
these are our wis. It's like we had to bring
out our marriage license or something married to them. I

(01:44:10):
have left my wallet in the truck. I'd have gotten
my drop because any any paperwork united. Sometimes I'll just
panic and it, you know, because I know you're not
supposed to be about women's age, but I'll just panic.
Sometimes she's fifty five. You know what I do? I
like lean over start kissing Terry. They wouldn't be kissing there, right,
Well that's funny. So uh So, anyway, one of the

(01:44:31):
things that and I kept. Of course, you know, I
don't sure, he says, I tend to aggravate everybody, including her. Well,
you know, I've got this precancerous thing on my nose
that the derma child just froze. I've been looking at
it always, so you know that's getting better. There there's
all these there's all these people.

Speaker 10 (01:44:48):
I sorry, agreed that inconvenience to you. Sorry knows inconvenient.

Speaker 3 (01:44:52):
Greg would have been better off, said, I'd rather just
go on to cancer. At least it wouldn't be so prominent.
But anyway, so so I'm sitting there and you know,
I love Greg. You know this this is you'd be
I would have said. I lean to I said, Cheery,
see if you can get one of the crew of
Brodie's crew over here something makeup? And she said, what
I think I need a little makeup on my nose.

(01:45:13):
And she said, you're an extra and I was. I
was like, I don't want my name. I'm looking at
it from here. I don't want my nose like this
in this movie. I said, can I get somebody from
the from the crew? I need I need to touch up.
She was not tell anybody said makeup. You was, You're
an extra. You might even be in the movie, right,
And I'm you know, I said, if they say big

(01:45:35):
Beard shitting here, I will be prominent. They made zoom
in on it.

Speaker 10 (01:45:38):
I gotta admit something. What So every day after the
Bible study.

Speaker 9 (01:45:43):
I make this picture here and it's just a little square,
little thumbnail.

Speaker 10 (01:45:47):
It has uh you know your picture.

Speaker 3 (01:45:50):
You covered it.

Speaker 9 (01:45:51):
I air brushed your nose a little bit for this photo.
I'm not even messing with I really, I cleaned it
up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
That's what I wanted yesterday.

Speaker 10 (01:45:59):
Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:00):
Yeah, now it's prominent right now, I mean when when
it is, it's getting bigger.

Speaker 10 (01:46:04):
The process of any angrier.

Speaker 3 (01:46:05):
Yeah, the process though of it healing is you go

His name is Wes Bayless. He was the lead singer
for the Steel Woods, and uh, if you've never heard

(01:52:23):

So, like everybody else, you know, my spirit is troubled.

my sermon for this week, and one of this verse
popped up and I was like, wow, if he couldn't
be more true. Ecles Ecclesiastes eight to eleven says, when
a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is

(01:53:34):
safe to do wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):
Yeah, that's true. It's true. You know you have justice
on a lot of this stuff, and we need to
have do you do process, no doubt, but it needs

Speaker 8 (01:54:09):
Some of us are.

Speaker 16 (01:54:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:54:10):
We got deployed on that nine to eleven after. I
remember I was cooking breakfast when we got called in
at nine o'clock in the morning. My wife had just
flew in her and my lovely blonde, hairy, blue eyed
girl from Germany. Excuse me. We picked him up at

(01:54:31):
twelve o'clock on September the tenth, and by the time
I got home from Jack to Mississippi fo early in
the morning. But hey, I was up cooking breakfast when
I got the phone call to Brunt come back to duty,
and I was like, man, what was going I couldn't fair.

(01:54:52):
It was going on to turn the radio and I think.

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
It was Dall, yeah, Rick and Bubber probably, and that

Speaker 16 (01:55:11):
Go ahead, Hey, Rick, how are y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
We're doing all right, man, I hope you're well.

Speaker 16 (01:55:18):
I'm doing all right. Well, God bless y'all. I just
want to talk about this Charlie Kirk situation that had happened.
I mean, oh God, bless everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
Man.

Speaker 16 (01:55:27):
I you know, Charlie is only a couple of years
older than me, and I just can't imagine something like
that happening to me and my wife and my two
kids being left behind like that. And I just I
just pray as a nation we can get to a
point where we just aren't so hateful towards each other
just for disagreeing on stuff big or small.

Speaker 3 (01:55:47):
Yeah, that is what seems to have changed. There's a
there's a dark, twisted tox It's toxic. You can feel it,
you know, around disagreement and the spiritual conversations and disagreement
and the political conversations and ideology and world views it

(01:56:08):
used to be, which is what Charlie Kirk was promoting.
Let's have conversations, let's see if you can walk out
a narrative. Let's see if we can discuss this back
and forth. And at one time I thought we would
embrace that, and it's kind of one of the main,
you know, principles this country was built on, is the
freedom to express yourself and to have debate and to

(01:56:28):
redress the government and things like that. And now it's uh,
you know, we we scream, we yell, and if you
frustrate me too much, I'll kill you. Uh it just
uh yeah, I agree, Rick Burgers show unscreen phone calls, go.

Speaker 16 (01:56:42):
Ahead, Hey, good morning, guys.

Speaker 6 (01:56:45):
Uh just wanted to just wanted to say for.

Speaker 16 (01:56:49):
Everybody listening not to let their heart.

Speaker 13 (01:56:52):
Be hardened by what's going on in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:56:54):
And in turn to Jesus because he loves you and
what going.

Speaker 13 (01:56:58):
On, and I don't see his stopping any soon.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
I hope you guys have a great day.

Speaker 3 (01:57:01):
Yeah, you know, if you if you listen to you know,
the uh Jesus talking in Matthew twenty four again. Again.
I know there's some people say it's coming soon. We
don't know the day or the time, but he said,
now there's gonna be birth pays and you'll you'll know
those and one of the things that he talked about
is that the society will become more and more unreasonable,

(01:57:22):
the society would become more and more toxic. And you know,
and and we we can. Somebody was asking, is it
really that way we talked about that last hour? You know,
not probably since the beginning of human beings, because we
have Genesis six when God killed everybody but eight people.
But as far as post church Age, post Pentecosts are

(01:57:44):
to be more accurate, in our lifetime, have things gotten
darker and twisted and more wicked, Yes, since the beginning
of the world. Maybe not, but in our lifetime yes.
And see that now we're in the church Age, so
we're working our way to the end. Now, this is
that seventieth week that we don't know the length of
its top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:58:07):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. You better listen up.

Speaker 5 (01:58:27):
You know what we say. Loss, I'm anna tell you
gotta find.

Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
Broadcasting from the world. The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (01:58:44):
Thank you for being with us America, brand new hour.
It's been a it's been an emotional roller coaster today,
as you can imagine. So looking back on the twenty
fourth anniversary of the attack on America nine eleven, and
of course the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but we've also
worked in other things and things to talk about. So

(01:59:07):
we're kind of giving you.

Speaker 23 (01:59:09):
A lot which is the norm, Which is the norm,
and you're welcome to if you missed our conversations, we
really unpacked the Charlie Kirk assassination and great to tail
early in the live show today, so that first and
second hour has a lot if you want to go
catch that, and here are the things that we've already

(01:59:30):
said you can.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
We've also talked about nine to eleven. We've hit that today,
We've hit some emails and questions and calls from you,
so a lot has already been done. If you're just
now joining us, we also do want to join the
wonderful people at American Village. You know, we're getting ready
to celebrate America's semi quincentennial next year, and of course

(01:59:55):
on nine to eleven, it's a great time to think
about our country and remember all of those that were
in forward positions and all the work they did for us,
the first responders, and so there's a little something called
Operation We Remember. It's going all across our home state.
Other states are you know, starting to implement some of

(02:00:17):
the things that we're doing. And this is to kind
of help with those that have served us so well,
that have struggled with the trauma of what they've been through.
The suicide rate is way too high among our veterans,
so Operation we Remember there are signs available for you
to put in your yard that encourage those that have

(02:00:39):
served us so well in letting them know if they're struggling,
there's always help called nine eight eight, press one. It's
a Veterans Crisis Line operation. We remember we were thankful,
We're grateful. Call nine eight eight and then press one
and if you need some help, and if you'd like
to be part of that, go to American Village dot

(02:01:00):
org or go to America two fifty al dot org.
So there you go. I want to let you know
about that as well. So you mentioned Eminem, mm hmm right, Well,
I was just flying by and apparently there's people texting
on text Nation that are saying that it looks accurate
that Eminem has done some sort of song with the

(02:01:24):
Lauren Daigel. Yeah, there's some of that. I know who nfy'all.

Speaker 12 (02:01:29):
NF is an artist that has been around for a while,
and he does have a little bit of slim, shady delivery.

Speaker 3 (02:01:35):
And if you scroll on down, it looks like I'm looking.

Speaker 10 (02:01:38):
I think the Laurendigle Eminem thing is AI.

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
Wait what about this? What about this one? Here? I
Need You Jesus?

Speaker 13 (02:01:45):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:01:45):
And is that AI? Because that's the one I saw?

Speaker 12 (02:01:48):
It was it popped up notifications on my phone and
I'm sitting here looking at it. But you know, nowadays,
you don't know. I just brought it up in passing.
But there is a song I Need You Jesus and
it and it's got a it's a video, but I
don't know if it's a I or not.

Speaker 3 (02:02:06):
So I was just wondering, Okay, yeah, well there's people
that are showing us things. But again they could have
been created by AI.

Speaker 9 (02:02:11):
I think I think every Eminem Christian song I can
find to me is AI.

Speaker 3 (02:02:19):
Okay, That's what I was wanting because I have it
was an announced. I was like Terry, Terry, because why I
was sitting there with Terry at the time. Please is
this true? You know?

Speaker 5 (02:02:26):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:02:26):
And it even came in like through Apple Music.

Speaker 1 (02:02:28):
It was weird.

Speaker 3 (02:02:29):
Yeah, it's it's so much, so much bad.

Speaker 1 (02:02:31):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:02:32):
The Eminem I Need You Jesus official music video from
what I see here is is Ai.

Speaker 3 (02:02:39):
It is Okay.

Speaker 10 (02:02:40):
I was wondering, but I'm just trying to figure this out.

Speaker 3 (02:02:42):
Right, Yeah, yeah, Well I looked at it and I
just thought i'd bring it up, and I know you did.

Speaker 1 (02:02:46):
Well.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
The text nation to your point, Adler, that they started
out with, Hey, that's right, and now they're all going,
let me recall what Yeah, let me recall that. So
I had not heard any new testimony from Eminem. Yeah,
that's why I was so shocked. I'd celebrate if it was. Yeah,
let's be sure that we clarify this for somebody rushing
them to speak at a conference. We've seen that.

Speaker 9 (02:03:10):
Sorry, I'm seeing like there's Eminem with Ed Sheeran Jesus,
I Need You.

Speaker 10 (02:03:16):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:03:16):
So people have made a lot of different versions of these.
I'm not saying there isn't a real one out there,
but the ones that i'm finding are not like here's
Eminem and r Kelly, what you know, Eminem and Lauren Daegel.
Like you said, so everything that I can see and
find is AI.

Speaker 10 (02:03:33):
But I'm not saying there's not a real song out there.

Speaker 12 (02:03:35):
And you know, AI is so advanced now it could
literally be his voice.

Speaker 10 (02:03:40):
Oh it is his voice.

Speaker 19 (02:03:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:03:41):
So yeah, but and so that's what throws you off.

Speaker 1 (02:03:44):
It's not a parody.

Speaker 3 (02:03:45):
Yes, like, wow, this looks real, guys, I'm telling you
when we keep talking about that, we're trying to broadcast
from the real world. Yeah, it takes a lot of work.
It does. It does like it is everywhere you turn. Yeah,
the world is fake. It is. It is.

Speaker 12 (02:03:59):
It's like we're in a staff meeting trying to figure
something out here. But they just it popped up on
my phone and I clicked on it and I was
listening to it, just the audio, not the video, and
it's like, this is him, right, it is?

Speaker 3 (02:04:11):
What in the world? So wow? Uh some of the
things on again, we've we've hit a little lighter uh
since about you know, the latter part of our three
now into four tonight on you know, Greg, by the way,
has is not here for the rest of the show.
Greg has has an active week. He's had two breakfasts

(02:04:32):
with grandparents, with his grandkids, and we want the guys
to be as involved in their children and grandchildren and
family stuff as possible. We have a weird work schedule,
so a lot of things that are just simple, you know,
for some parents can be quite complicated for us. Uh,
And we do the best we can. But we also

(02:04:53):
Greg and I have a mom who needs help, can't
drive anymore, and she has appointments and all that, and
so Greg is now taking mom to one of her appointments.
And some doctors will work with us and see her
in the afternoon, but some won't.

Speaker 13 (02:05:07):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:05:07):
They said, Now, the contests we need to do today

we only do am so so Greg is gone to
take Mom to to that. Did you like my speech?
My pep talk to him? Yeah about be kind? Yes,

change your tone before you got there. Yeah, yeah, well
he was.

Speaker 12 (02:05:25):
He was button up some things here at work, making
sure he didn't leave any trails behind. And I said, hey,
you need to you need to watch your tone. Your
tone is a little rough. I thought he was a
little tonish with us today.

Speaker 3 (02:05:36):
Yeah, we're we're today is tough and I don't but well,
you know, anytime we got anything honest, even though we
we're happy to do it. It's still it's still a schedule.

Speaker 12 (02:05:47):
And uh but he'll he'll start worrying about it hours
ahead and I'm like, hey, you need to when when
that truck pulls up, your mom gets in the in

Speaker 3 (02:05:56):
It needs to be nice.

Speaker 1 (02:05:56):

Speaker 3 (02:05:57):
Let me tell you something, Greg is it's surprising, how
about this? Greg is surprisingly caring to his family. Yes,
of course, shockingly care.

Speaker 1 (02:06:06):
He really is.

Speaker 3 (02:06:06):
Yeah, and apparently my mother thinks.

Speaker 12 (02:06:09):
Right, it is the preferred and he'll switch it, you know,
he'll it was hard Greg walking out, but he'll be oh,
he's already switching it right.

Speaker 9 (02:06:16):
Oh yeah, he Uh, some was bothering this bothering him
this morning. He tried to soothe with with peanuts. By
eating peanuts. He tried to soothe himself. As you can see,
there's a huge pile of peanuts on the floor.

Speaker 10 (02:06:29):
It looks like an elephant had been sitting there.

Speaker 3 (02:06:31):
But well, yeah, don Day brought peanuts yesterday and Greg
has partaken. Yeah, if we were tracking an animal, this
would not be hard to feel.

Speaker 10 (02:06:38):
Oh here it is.

Speaker 3 (02:06:39):
Yeah. If you walked in here and didn't know us,
you were like, wow, y'all got a circus somewhere.

Speaker 13 (02:06:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:06:44):

I remember being a kid and hearing Madden breaking things
down when he started drawing on the.

Speaker 10 (02:13:03):
Screen and I was like, whoa, the future is the
future run now? And it's kind of mud mouthed, but
it didn't matter because I'm talking about.

That's good?

Speaker 20 (02:13:36):
That was.

Speaker 3 (02:13:38):
That was John Thomas Howard. I don't know what that was.
I was wondering, is it the Packers in Commandos tonight
recap of the Super Bowl. I am confused.

Speaker 10 (02:13:51):
So it's still bad that they commanders Commanders.

Speaker 1 (02:13:54):
Is so bad?

Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
Hey, Rick, watch the Pack? When I watch watch the Pack,
I love the back and I just can't watch them.
I can't. I don't know what's going on. I don't
know why.

Speaker 2 (02:14:04):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:14:04):
You know, my goodness. One of my best friends as
a packer is Rich Wingo.

Speaker 10 (02:14:11):
Was a hoss on a pack.

Speaker 3 (02:14:16):
What was that was Madden? Madden? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (02:14:19):
Mine was back.

Speaker 3 (02:14:21):
Oh my gosh, you that was the worst. That was
the worst a tempt of any impression you've ever done.

Speaker 10 (02:14:28):
The game is at seven fifteen tonight, No go to Best.

Speaker 3 (02:14:32):
So it's on prime video, so.

Speaker 10 (02:14:34):
We could yes, yes, I won't see that, so we
could watch forty five minutes of it.

Speaker 6 (02:14:37):
I've got it.

Speaker 3 (02:14:38):
I've got to get in bed. I've got to be
in bad by seven forty five to night.

Speaker 1 (02:14:43):
I got you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
I was.

Speaker 10 (02:14:44):
I was in a dream that sounds like an absolute dream.

Speaker 3 (02:14:46):
I was in bed late last night. I can't do
that again. Yeah, that's just I had. I had a
big eyes.

Speaker 10 (02:14:51):
I can't do too to sleep either. Last night at all.

Speaker 3 (02:14:54):
I'm going on college. Yeah, Rick, that hurt. Oh man,
that's about all I got to.

Speaker 10 (02:15:00):
I woke up a too and just could not sleep.
My spirit was just so troubled, man, honestly. Yeah, just
being real right now.

Speaker 3 (02:15:05):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 10 (02:15:06):
There's a man rough one.

Speaker 1 (02:15:10):
Now, you know.

Speaker 12 (02:15:11):
Do you remember that email back to what happened yesterday,
the email that you talked about, that might be it. Yes,
somebody is saying here that the FBI is updating that
is that?

Speaker 3 (02:15:21):
Is that true?

Speaker 9 (02:15:22):
Okay, So earlier in the break I mentioned to you
guys that Stephen Crowder has said that he has an
exclusive He was received an email from an officer at
the ATF Okay and he included a screenshot of the
email and it talks about how you know the specifics
of the event. The suspect fired one shot from an

(02:15:42):
elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on
the campus. Surveillance video shows the subject jumping off, fleeing
the area on foot. ATF and other law enforcement located
an older model imported Mauser thirty six caliber bolt action
rifle rifle.

Speaker 10 (02:15:59):
Wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus.

Speaker 3 (02:16:02):
And this is just what they're we're just saying with
their report.

Speaker 10 (02:16:04):
That is what Stephen Crowder is reporting.

Speaker 3 (02:16:06):
At this time.

Speaker 9 (02:16:07):
I will say, you guys, remember the horrific Nashville Covenant
Covenant Schools.

Speaker 10 (02:16:12):
In church shooting.

Speaker 9 (02:16:13):
Yes, Stephen Crowder was the person to the first person
to release the manifesto that we couldn't get access to
because it would make transgender people not look great. And
Stephen Crowder was one hundred percent right about that. So
he tends to have one good sources and two legitimate material. Okay,

(02:16:35):
So that's just at this time, Crowder is saying that
the spent round was still in the chamber, the spent
cartridge was still in the chamber.

Speaker 10 (02:16:45):
The other cartridges that were left did have some political
words on.

Speaker 12 (02:16:51):
The Fox News is now reporting they did find a
rifle in the woods and the suspect pleated to a
local neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (02:16:57):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, The Voice some Reason
in an Unreasonable world, The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:17:19):
All right, so we do have some something that may
be breaking. It looks like some things are getting confirmed
we walked through all this slowly. We certainly don't want
to put things out there too quickly. We want to
make sure there's a little bit of betting of that.
And Speedy, I know that you would like to address
one thing that's much lighter h before we get into

(02:17:41):
this update. And gosh almighty, it's hard. I understand, I know,
trying to get things done. I should have said fled
or fleed, not fleeted.

Speaker 12 (02:17:51):
Uh And and I understand, matter of fact, as soon
as ever heard the Rick Burgess show, I went fled
and it was all fair.

Speaker 3 (02:17:58):
Speedy said the gum and fleet into it. And I know,
and it's a very serious matter.

Speaker 12 (02:18:04):
But I'm just saying, as far as the staff goes
and me and my messed up mine, I don't know
why I have been said fleeted.

Speaker 3 (02:18:11):
I was trying to get it in and I just
so just come back and gave the update. You didn't
have to.

Speaker 10 (02:18:16):
Fleeted is a word. If that makes you feel any.

Speaker 3 (02:18:18):
Better, I know, but it's just not sure he used
it in a sentence, right, No, you didn't use it. No,
And I just says fleeted or fleeted like a fleet
of trucks, you know, I said fleeted like he fleeted, Oh, well,
that's not that's not a word. That's not a word.

Speaker 12 (02:18:33):
I understand. I I called myself out on it. And Rick,
when I we went to break, you hit the button
and just stared at me. I did, uh, And so
I do want to acknowledge that.

Speaker 3 (02:18:43):
And I remember thinking to myself, I knew I recognized
you from slow class. So appreciate you sympathy. I wish
you never mine. So here here, So here's so, here's
the update, serious, on a serious note. And we were
going we were trying to get it all in, and
Adler talked about an email that Crowder got from an
ATF agent, and we did, and I guess we were

(02:19:06):
trying to get the information in so it didn't sound
like we were just a bunch of conspiracy theorists that
were throwing stuff around. We're just trying to report what
would and this is fast going and so we're trying
to just update you as it goes along. And they
did say the local police department did say that the
suspect he blended in with the college students. They have
good images of them that he or video of the

(02:19:28):
shooter that has not been released. They did find the
rifle in the woods, and they do believe he fled
to a nearby neighborhood. That's that's what we know as
far as what the press and the police have released.

Speaker 9 (02:19:42):
Here is the FBI corroborating multiple details that we mentioned
in that that email. Here is the FBI confirming that
on just for just this just happened, if you guys
want that.

Speaker 24 (02:19:55):
Yeah, this morning, I can tell you that we have
recovered what we believe is the that was used in
yesterday's shooting is a high powered bolt action rifle. That
rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter
had fled. The FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon.

(02:20:17):
Investigators have also collected footwear impression print.

Speaker 9 (02:20:21):
There you go, palm print, footwear impression And to you
guys point, we have good video of this individual.

Speaker 10 (02:20:26):
It's what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (02:20:27):
Yeah, don't want to speculate, but if you do speculate,
always say you're speculating, and when teaching the Bible or
just conversation. If everything they're saying turns out to be confirmed,
and it sounds like that they do have the gun
and they do have this, now you're kind of leaving
the professional assassin narrative, and now you're down to crazed,

(02:20:52):
radicalize person who just despised, you know, the things that
Charlie Kirk held deer. He hated his ideology, he hated
his his morality, and and wanted to kill him and
was able to commandeer a weapon that could make that

(02:21:12):
kind of shot from that kind of distance. And then
you've got to get back in there again. How do
these people keep getting a line of sight to people
who are speaking like this? Because with these kind of
weapons even I wouldn't say novice, but just if you
can steady a high powered rifle and you can put
the crosshairs on someone's body that is sitting or standing

(02:21:37):
from this kind of distance, these these weapons make those
shots relatively easy.

Speaker 9 (02:21:42):
Yeah, and Rick, you mentioned you had a friend that
used a like hunting app to measure the distance. If
that if that's accurate, and well, I mean you can
you can even do that on Google Maps as well.
And I'm looking right here. You guys can see us
see if I do a control click whereas measure distance,
and it's a it's around four hundred feet from this

(02:22:03):
building to where Charlie was four hundred four and forty
four and thirty feet, So that is not an outrageous
shot to me, and it is that's not there, it
is right there.

Speaker 3 (02:22:16):
Yeah. So so anyway, we'll we'll see when we get
the information. But I think, I mean, nothing's going to
bring back Charlie Kirk. How as we said earlier in
the show, when we really unpacked all this, what Charlie
Kirk was doing, Now someone else and and many people

(02:22:36):
need to pick up that baton and continue. And I
think we will see that. I think I think these
evil people always horribly miscalculate. Well, you know, I will
go and I will kill the person that is the
face of a movement, and that'll kill the movement. Usually
it only makes the movement stronger. Yeah, and people will

(02:22:58):
then become more courageous and say, well, you know, if
he's out, then I must be next, and I'm gonna
be the person to continue the message. I do think
if you're trying to protect maybe your point of view
as the shooter, you've only made your point of view
less desirable by people.

Speaker 1 (02:23:17):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (02:23:18):
And you you've done two things. You You've galvanized the
ideology you hate and you've taken your ideology and made
it more undesirable by more people. So you accomplish nothing
in this and now you're gonna go to jail if
if we find you forever and could possibly be executed

(02:23:38):
by the State of Utah. That's how this is all going.
So those of you out there that may have similar thoughts,
this does not have a good ending, and it doesn't
accomplish anything. No, it makes the situation that even you're trying,
you you would you should sit down and maybe the
problem is you can't walk out your narrative and you
can't find a way to solidify your narrative, and you

(02:24:01):
can't handle the fact that maybe your narrative is wrong
or needs to be addressed. So you just freak out,
become toxic, toxic and wicked, and you just kill somebody
that you don't like what they say, maybe about what
you believe, or you could sit down and say here's
what I believe and let's have a conversation about it,
which is what Charlie Kirk in his movement was all about.

(02:24:22):
And all you've done is made the situation worse. You've
accomplished nothing, and now your life is ruined. And you've
also taken a dad and a husband from a family.
You've done nothing but be wicked, and you're gonna pay
a price for it. And and you're and your point
of view now gets demonized, not lifted up, accomplish nothing.

(02:24:46):
And and I'm you're just playing right into the adversary's hands.
And that's sad.

Speaker 10 (02:24:54):
And I'm praying for peace.

Speaker 9 (02:24:57):
I'm praying for people to follow Charlie's example of how
he lived his life. And I'm praying that there's no
like crazy revenge, you know what I'm saying, No escalation.

Speaker 3 (02:25:09):
That accomplishes nothing. That's what the opposition of Charlie Kirk
is hoping people will do.

Speaker 1 (02:25:14):
Because the fact that cities.

Speaker 3 (02:25:15):
Then make you look, see, he was dangerous. He was dangerous.

Speaker 12 (02:25:18):
Yes, the fact that cities want burned to night will
tell you everything you need to know, because each side
reacts differently, but to your point, you know, it's it
has me doubling down and and focusing more on being
a spiritual, spiritual leader from my family and for my
adult boys, and and the and and and my daughter

(02:25:41):
in law and my grandson, because that's what we each
can do because in a time like this, you feel
like you're overwhelmed.

Speaker 3 (02:25:47):
You're like, well, how can I help? What can I do?

Speaker 12 (02:25:49):
And that is doubling down on your faith in the
way you live your life, one life at a time.
And if we're all doing that, then we change this
darkness into light.

Speaker 3 (02:25:59):
Yeah. You talk about this all the time, and I
can't tell you how many times we've said this with
the team at the Man Church. Every time we get
a good testimony, one of the guys will always say,
every one of those men represented a family, and then
the ones that don't have a family yet, they represent
a future family. And that's how you get things done.

(02:26:21):
Here's let's look at let's listen to to cut two
and three. So here is Charlie saying how he wanted
to be remembered, and then the next cut is what
we all hope is what his wife had to say
about him. So here is first of all, Charlie Kirk
talking about how he wanted to be remembered. How do
you want to be remembered? If I die, everything just

(02:26:42):
goes away.

Speaker 10 (02:26:43):
How would you if you could be associated.

Speaker 3 (02:26:45):
With one thing, how would you want to be remembered?
I want to be I want to be remembered for
courage from my faith, that would be the most important thing.
Most important thing is my faith in my life? Exactly
what did I do with my faith that impact society,
glorified God and impacted the Kingdom of God? What did

(02:27:06):
I do that show boldness and courage like those who
were before us that started the church back at Pentecost?
Do I have that kind of boldness? And even if
my life was taken, will it glorify the one that
I serve? And the next Here is his wife, Erica

(02:27:27):
describing her husband.

Speaker 6 (02:27:30):
He is.

Speaker 5 (02:27:32):
My husband.

Speaker 20 (02:27:33):
Charlie Kirk is a force.

Speaker 3 (02:27:35):
He is a force.

Speaker 20 (02:27:38):
He is bold when the world demands silence. He is
fearless where others flinch, and he has taken on the
battle of the next generation, changing these hearts and minds.
I know you guys have seen it at the college campuses,
changing the hearts and minds of these kids. It's not
a career to him, and it's so incredible to see

(02:28:03):
as a wife how God has prepared him, how God
has molded him and used him. All while he's doing that,
he's still the spiritual head of our family. It is
my honor to be able to introduce you guys to
one of the greatest fighters that I know, who is

(02:28:25):
so intentional, who is so amazing, and he never backs
down from the fight because he knows who and what
he fights for, and that is God, It's his family
and its country. I want to introduce you guys to
my husband, Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 3 (02:28:42):
May that be what our wives say about us. We'll
be back into the evil person who did this. These
college students are going to come away from this, most
all of them, not all of them, but most of
them saying I don't want to be like you. I
want to be like him, because you're a coward. We'll

(02:29:03):
be back. Stay close.

Speaker 1 (02:29:08):

nation You're you're asking for stuff, man. I appreciate that.

(02:30:00):
It's awful kind of you to have that kind of intensity.
I think you know Adler gets the archive out really
really quick after the show man. I mean we are
a four man operation, okay, and like now with Greg
taking care of mine, where a three man operation. You
have no idea the workload that Adler has and there's

(02:30:22):
no way that we he could be archiving hour by
hour and putting it out as the show flows. He
gets it out usually within a half hour forty five
minutes after the show ends, which is amazing. And I
don't I'm not saying that you're being mean about it.
I just want to inform you that Eddie van Adler
has got all he can take, and he is a he.
He does an outstanding job and I'm grateful that you

(02:30:45):
guys care, but he's getting it out as quick as
we possibly can every day.

Speaker 9 (02:30:49):
And on that note, if it's not working on your phone,
if it's not working on your computer, do send me
an email please.

Speaker 10 (02:30:55):
I would greatly appreciate that. If it's not available by
eleven am, Central singing has gone wrong, so please do
send me an email.

Speaker 9 (02:31:02):
You guys are very helpful in letting us know when
there are tech problems or issues with any of that stuff.
So I've even had it work on my phone and
then stop working on my phone because like, yeah, you know,
I'll check it, make sure it's listed, make sure it's there,
or even yesterday it said this this file. I even
screenshot of the error that I got because there's been
something weird going on with us. This episode can't be

(02:31:24):
played on this device, is the that's the that's the
message I got yesterday.

Speaker 10 (02:31:29):
I clicked it again and it worked. Yeah, but why
would it say that, you know.

Speaker 9 (02:31:33):
What I'm saying, Like with the people at iHeart were
working on on this this stuff as well. So please
feel free to email me any of us honestly if
you're having any issues or any questions.

Speaker 3 (02:31:42):
Yeah, thank you for that. And and honestly, like you said,
it's like a lot of times addlers are like, well,
it's out there, and then all of a sudden, Spotify
people can hear it, people who have Apple can't, you know.
And sometimes there's different platforms having trouble. So it is
always important to let us know. Usually we get it
resolved pretty quick. But but but but let us know.

(02:32:03):
Don't assume we know, yes, because that happens because there's
so many this whole new technical world we're living in
them streaming and terrestrial radio and and and YouTube and
and archives versus live and it's it's a lot, especially
for a four man team.

Speaker 12 (02:32:20):
And and there's exceptions, but most shows that I followed,
they wait and put that out after the live show
is over.

Speaker 3 (02:32:26):
So that's pretty normal.

Speaker 1 (02:32:28):
Uh, thank you for the request.

Speaker 3 (02:32:29):
Yeah, and I'm glad you got that kind of passion.
But it it really Hey, we you know how you
just say, hey, we we were doing all we can do,
We got all we can stand. Yeah, it's but you
know what I will say, we we have a blast
and we we're all we're all guys that like to
get after it, and uh we we love doing all
the things we do. It's like I was telling those

(02:32:52):
those kids last night at that movie. Shoot, you know,
if you if you're doing what you love, that's one part.
But you also got to have a work ethic to
go with it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:00):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (02:33:01):
And uh and also understand that success is defined in
many ways. You know, it may not always be that
you're this you know, well known person, you know, coast
to coasts and doing all this and nine houses and
twenty five cars and all this. It may be that
you just do your job really really well, and you

(02:33:22):
love what you do and you're making an impact where
you are. Uh, and you're getting better at what you do.
Uh and uh sometimes that also is successful and uh
and you know it's you know, is what you're doing matter?
And are you doing it well? So you can want
to do something, you can even desire to do something,

(02:33:42):
but can you put in the work, can you bang
on your craft? Can you get better?

Speaker 19 (02:33:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:33:47):
So there you go a couple of things to hit
you with, especially since we've we've been talking about it
so much for obvious reasons. Of a couple of man
churches going on coming up. And then one event that
men are with and can attend this weekend. There is
a man church on Saturday in Mantachie, Mississippi. Blake Prime

(02:34:07):
will be there and oh no, it's Manachians, right, Mantachi
Manat why I say it right? Okay, Mantatch You've got
me thrown with fleetd uh. And then and anyway, so
that's coming up on Saturday, Blake Prime will be there
Centerville Baptist Church. Uh, Manchurch. Go to Themanchurch dot com.
It's there. And then Sunday night, Lord willing, I'll be
over in Boonville, Mississippi, Gaston Baptist Church. That's for men, women, kids,

(02:34:32):
the whole family. So looking forward to that. And then
Orange Texas. You've got a man Church one day coming
bringing bringing the Ringers, Rich Wingo, Andy Blak's and I'll
be with them, all three of us speaking at First
Baptist Church, Orange Texas. So go to the Manchurch dot com.
All the details not only about these but others coming
up are there as well. So we're still tracking the latest,

(02:34:57):
you know, with Charlie Kirk while looking back at twenty
four years ago, you know when we had the attack
on nine to eleven, and then of course we also,
I mean, this is all just feels so I really
do think I'm kind of conversing right now with the guys.
And you know, Sherry said she my wife had a
similar We were all a little restless last night, Yeah,

(02:35:18):
and I think it was because there's just so much
dark and so many you're just you're kind of but
we can't even though it affects us, we're all humans.
We can't let evil overcome good. Can't good wins it does,
and we all know how this is going to end.
And the folks that are under the authority of Christ

(02:35:42):
and people of faith. He wins. This is all going
to be resolved. And you know, anytime there's something that
comes across is difficult, hard, you can't let it. You
can mourn, of course, you can be angry, you can
be sad as long as it's righteous, of course, but

(02:36:03):
you can't let it cause you to also commit sin.
And you can't let it to cause you to lose hope.
Those two things we can't And uh so that's kind
of the rhythm that we've been trying to remind you
of today, but acknowledging that. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking
here's the train stabbing suspect update today. Another shooting in

(02:36:27):
Colorado last night, Charlie Kirk assassinated. Yeah all this is
hard stuff and that's just scratching the surface. But remember
remember it will be overcome.

Speaker 1 (02:36:41):

Speaker 5 (02:36:54):
John, It's time for the Rick Persons.

Speaker 3 (02:37:07):

Nobody panic. Greg will be here, Lord Willie.

Speaker 5 (02:37:42):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:37:42):
He's taking Mom to another doctor's appointments and testing she
needs to have done.

Speaker 1 (02:37:48):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:37:48):
And you know it's you know, it's one of those
things you want, you know, when you get to the
fourth quarter of your life, you you know, you want
to feel good. Yeah, and you know, so we're always
you know, trying to you know, Mom has these check
ups she goes to and you know, she's still active
and her mind's good, and she wants to be part
of as many things as she can be. Yeah, of course,

(02:38:10):
you know, thankful she had once committed to being one
of the extras. Last night on the little movie thing
you and I went to for my youngest son. Uh.
And when I saw the journey we had to go
to get to that gymnasium, I'm glad we didn't put
mom food.

Speaker 1 (02:38:25):
I had to piggyback.

Speaker 3 (02:38:27):
But doesn't it doesn't it feel just a little bit
weird if you just get let's just take on countenance. Okay,
does Greg come across to you as overly joyful. I mean,
and she did. Really, I mean when Greg comes into

(02:38:47):
the room, does he usually bring joy?

Speaker 7 (02:38:49):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:38:49):
And he might bring fun. Yeah I didn't say he's
not fun, but he usually on hold court. Yeah, oh yeah,
it seems to be easily annoyed, right, right, he could
be Let's say there's a day and he could be
a passing thundershower, like a thunderstorm, rain shower and maybe
some heavy rain and then it moves on. Yeah you know, yeah,

(02:39:10):
but this and then the sun could come back out.
You never know. And now I will say, on this
particular thing, what we're doing, well, I think that mom,
because this is that place we know. I've been fired
from grocery shopping and running errands with mom out gone
fired done. She's not even holding back on that. Okay,

(02:39:32):
just great, great guy. I and my sister of course,
you know, she still has kids that are young enough
that they're over there a lot. She gets a lot
of points there. Okay, she'll come in and like help
mom with like decorating. Yeah, you know where her cottage.
You know, hey, if there's a room that needs to
be that, you know, that's kind of her. Okay, right now,
I'm kind of you know, because I am primary, I'm

(02:39:54):
kind of legal matters, insurance bill, any of that that
she needs help on. I need something done here. Hey
we got a little issue going here. Hey we got
a problem here. That's kind of me, you know, And
so I just find Greg to be Now today, I

(02:40:16):
do think this almost gets over my era, my area
of a doctor appointment, even though Greg does ninety percent
of those. But see, when it's in the middle of
the show, we we usually go, well, one can't be gone, right,
and so so yeah, I mean it's it's Greg's important,
but you know, when you're sitting here in the one seat,
it's you know, you can't you can't go off to

(02:40:38):
He's an obvious choice, right, and but but it just
seems like personality.

Speaker 10 (02:40:42):
Wise, he's a obvious choice because he's not gonna rush
her mom too, you.

Speaker 3 (02:40:45):
Know, Yeah, he's gonna rush somebody at a doctor.

Speaker 10 (02:40:48):
Well, we got to hurry get in there.

Speaker 3 (02:40:51):
I don't know how, but you would do it.

Speaker 10 (02:40:53):
You'd find let's go, mom, let's go, let's go, let's go.
TikTok doc. You'd say something, TikTok doc.

Speaker 12 (02:40:59):
I've never said, yeah, but look, he's where he needs
to be right now, and I just and I think
he turns into the you know here I am, you
know but leaving here.

Speaker 3 (02:41:13):
I made a move. Yeah, last night that seems to
be still this problem the everybody's asking me to address
who knows me about that. I'm constantly, constantly no, not
overly patient, and I'm working on my patience because it
is a virtue and that things need to be done everybody.
I see, I lived my life thinking this could all

(02:41:34):
be done more efficient, and I'm trying to realize the
world is just not that efficient, and I just got
to realize that it's not that big a deal. Well,
this one was a little bit controversial. So I told
you after you and I saw each other yesterday and
we were helping with the movie, right, I went to
try sharing and I did went to try to eat
at a place right because later than you want it, Yeah,

(02:41:54):
because we didn't think we were going to be that late,
so that we didn't have anything at home. I mean
there were some leftovers, but we just had it to
not before, so so we we hit the restaurant. According
to Sherry, I immediately begin to say that of all
the versions of this particular brand, it's a chain. This

(02:42:16):
has to be the most unorganized layout of what they
try to do. I've everything tough to get in and out.
That's a terrible layout of that particular you know. And
but also just inside there, you've ever been inside that
location many times? What a mass where you orders, a
mass where we're all seated is seated as a mess.

(02:42:36):
Where the beverages are is a mess. And you're hungry,
which adds to the right and and the worst. Here's
the worst in the line in front of me. Hey people,
love y'all. I do. I love you because I do.
I love every I love everybody as best I can
love everybody. If there's just two of you, somebody put

(02:42:59):
it on one ticket. Even if y'all go to your
table and divide the money up. Don't do two tickets, okay,
because the one person finished order. Guys, if there's two
women one one woman finished ordering and I thought, well,
they're done, and then all of a sudden, I see
the other one walk up and they're together, and I'm like,
why didn't you order at the same time? If your friends,
do you, there's one pay if you're just friends going

(02:43:20):
to eat. Yeah, But well for people. But if I'm
standing behind you, yes, because you want to hurt. And
of course the second one a little elderly, Oh she first?
Oh my, how do we didn't pick her first? And
how do you not know what you want by the
time you get up there? If you've been in line?
That's the John Pannette, get out of the line about this.
There's menus everywhere. There's menus everywhere, you know. And so

(02:43:42):
I'm standing there and I'm starting to get anxious, and
and sure's like, just I said, you guys, know what
time it is? So hungry and how long does this take?
You'd be normally going to bed every time you're standing.

Speaker 18 (02:43:52):
In the line.

Speaker 3 (02:43:53):
Then it happened, so we finally order. I get through that, okay,
even though I think the line's crazy and sufficient. And
I saw somebody trying to ease up on my outside.
I say, hey, this is behind me. Now come on now,
we're not going in turn two. You're trying to get
under me here. Okay, that's not the line. Okay, they
attempted it all came up on my side holding an
o an empty cup like they want to rootfill or something.

(02:44:14):
You're not gonna know the beverages are back there, and
that's a terrible spot for them. It is where they are,
and what a terrible setup. So then it happens we
get our cup we've ordered for some reason, they still
want to be tipped, and all they did is run register. Right, Okay,
but you're hungry, see you paid? Yeah, so I didn't care.

(02:44:34):
So we go to the I come around the corner
where at the terribly placed beverages and there's the same
two women standing in front of it. Why do you walk?
And they turned around and said, I don't think there's
any host in this. And I'm like, oh, there'reright.

Speaker 1 (02:44:49):
Ice.

Speaker 3 (02:44:50):
It's late closing. So I'm like, how long for the
kid that's moving like a lava lamp? How long is
it gonna take for him to get that bucket filled
up with eyes? Come over and dump in the top
of it. I make a move for the ice machine.
It's back behind the counter. You're going back, she said, no, no,
you can, new you can't. I said, I'm just gonna
dip my cup in it. Sipped your cup and I

(02:45:13):
said give me yours. I said, I'll dip dip. I'm
back out. Choose you can't walk back there in the restaurant,
dip dip our cup in the bin ice thing, and
I said, it's gonna take forever here, and yeah, he
got slow, he's filling it up. Look I slow, shovel, shovel,
keep shoveling, fill it up. Yeah, And so I didn't

(02:45:36):
do that, but I said, hey, man, can you just
go ahead and put us some ice in there? And
he took our cups.

Speaker 1 (02:45:42):
How was your tone?

Speaker 3 (02:45:43):
It wasn't great? You understand Big Papa is getting eel
now because late.

Speaker 1 (02:45:47):
Yeah, Big Papa's supposed to.

Speaker 3 (02:45:49):
Be in bed, but I'm still standing here trying to
get the trigger taste. Okay, hey, that's a good order.
That's a great order. But that how is their time
on delivery? Come and bringing it out?

Speaker 1 (02:46:00):
Good?

Speaker 3 (02:46:00):
Once?

Speaker 1 (02:46:00):
Once?

Speaker 3 (02:46:01):
Once we got it in. But the design there is
just horrifl. Can I just tell the folks at this
Greek restaurant that is well known where we are your
location in Vestavia. I needed it. Let me have it,
but let you have it. Let me have it all right.
There's so many things that that location is convoluted. It's
terribly designed. Please let me have it soon as I'm

(02:46:23):
done with commercial Airlines.

Speaker 1 (02:46:24):
I'll get you on my list if it was up
to you.

Speaker 3 (02:46:26):
I don't know that you could. You're in charge of
a lot.

Speaker 10 (02:46:29):
Yeah, it take it on a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:46:31):
I've got lots of fits. I don't know how you
can do it. You know when I said I was
going back there, you go to that, going back, Give
me a cup. I'm gonna go scoot scoop something out.

Speaker 1 (02:46:43):

Speaker 3 (02:46:55):
Come down.

Speaker 1 (02:47:03):
He will likely be the new CEO of Cracker Barrel
Rick Burchs.

Speaker 3 (02:47:10):
Fix that too, by the way, I got that done.
All right, So we're back. Thanks for being with US America.

this stuff. We are an over medicated country, our society. Hey,

(02:47:35):
we got a shot and a drug for everything. We're
not a healthy people.

(02:48:47):
that has gone on in the last twenty four hours,
and really you could say the last week, security is
a concern if you're a public figure. We've talked about that.
We haven't dodged that. Well, it's not eleven today, as
you know, twenty four years ago we were attacked. We
talked about that on the show and the President is

(02:49:08):
supposed to be at the Yankees game tonight. Well, we
get Charlie Kirk horribly assassinated yesterday, but he says he's
still going.

Speaker 10 (02:49:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:49:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:49:19):
The White House announced that he still has plans to
be at the Yankees game they host the Tigers.

Speaker 3 (02:49:23):
Do we are just is this a good idea? I
mean we I don't want us to coyer in fear.
I got all that, we're not called to a spirit
of fear, got all that, but we still need to
be smart and not put ourselves in unnecessary danger. Does
everybody feel okay with this?

Speaker 9 (02:49:38):
Do you think they're going to keep him behind glass,
like in a suite or something. He'll do the wave
and they'll play cameras.

Speaker 3 (02:49:43):
He's not going on the field, right.

Speaker 12 (02:49:44):
I mean, it doesn't say I wouldn't think he would,
but you know him, who knows. But I mean, look
at what you know, Praise God last summer. It wasn't
successful on his life, and he went right back out
after that. I mean, he he's fearless when it comes
to that. But I'm sure there's safety measures that are

(02:50:05):
being you know, kind of scheduled after what happened yesterday,
even more heightened, But that's the announcement.

Speaker 3 (02:50:11):
He's still going. I know that sometimes and I'm never
ever going to dodge holding the person who does the
evil thing accountable. That's where accountability belongs. Yeah, always what
the person actually did and they did it. However, with
that being said, I know Charlie Kirk is a different situation,

(02:50:35):
private citizen, but still big platform. Is it starting to
bother you a little bit? And if this turns out
right now, the investigation is still going. They found a gun,
they think it is the gun, they think they've got
some good documentation of the person, and they're looking for them.
But again, even though I know Charlie Kirk and the

(02:50:58):
President are a little bit out and oranges, I got that.

Speaker 1 (02:51:01):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:51:02):
However, is it bothering us when we have people that
are in these open events? Of course the president of course,
that people are getting in these positions to take these
kill shots without anyone.

Speaker 9 (02:51:20):
We've seen this, I mean, the tactic has changed. It's
no longer I'm going to sneak up on you like
they did with Reagan on the street, like they did
with John Lennon. The tactic is seeming to change.

Speaker 3 (02:51:33):
Yeah, it's got to and and and we got to
adjust with it. But now Charlie Kirk is a little
bit different. He's got to hire his own security. There's
local security. I got all that, but that the president
and I guess we somewhat help people accountable for the
just horrible job they did in Butler letting this person

(02:51:54):
get that line of sight on the president on an
easily noticeable building. And now I know we did fire
a bunch of people over that, didn't we I mean
people were I mean that that Yeah, that was that
was terrible. Yeah. And and by the grace of Almighty God,
because he is sovereign over you know what will and
won't happen, including yesterday by the way, right, you know,

(02:52:15):
sometimes nobody wants to talk about that, but it's true
because because he certainly could have stopped it.

Speaker 24 (02:52:20):
But but.

Speaker 16 (02:52:23):
Are we.

Speaker 3 (02:52:25):
Are we losing confidence in some of the the people
that are supposed to their job is supposed to be
able to check these places and keep them secure. Yeah,
I mean it is. It's frustrating.

Speaker 12 (02:52:38):
I actually heard an interview with one of the students
there at Utah Valley that that was helping. There was
all kinds of different organizations that that worked with turning
point us a you know, to make because he was
all over the place. He would he would go from
different colleges and all this, and they were so excited

(02:52:58):
and and he said his his job was to help
with the mic and the mic stand and lower it
or higher it, you know, raise it depending on who
was talking and whatever. And then when it happened, they
immediately looked up and back because that's where the sound
came from. And he was just talking about how the
vibe changed from There was so much excitement that it

(02:53:19):
seem like there was any tension at all. Everybody was
so pumped to have him there. And then obviously it turned,
you know, in a moment into what it is now.
And it's just when he said they talked with local
police and they were organizing security. I mean, Charlie has
his team of four to five that are always with him.
Local police are actually moved you know that little it

(02:53:41):
wasn't it was like a little walkway above where he
was standing. They actually move people back. There were some things,
but when you're looking at two hundred yards away or
you know, four one hundred and forty five yards away,
it's tough to for that perimeter. But you know that
of course secret serve, what secret Service? Wasn't that a
president and all this kind of stuff. But how far

(02:54:03):
out do you go because the tactics have changed now
on what's trying to take place.

Speaker 3 (02:54:08):
Well, to me, if somebody wants to kill somebody at
an outdoor public event, they're going to find with these
high powered rifles, they don't have to be close. They
can shoot you from two hundred yards away if they
can be accurate, and if there's a place for someone
to get a perch I got to think those things

(02:54:29):
move into Priority one, yeah, because that's going to be
likely where the breach is going to be.

Speaker 1 (02:54:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:54:35):
I don't think the breach is going to be somebody
standing in the crowd as much anymore. And you can
solve a lot of that by what we've been doing
with you know, people coming into the venue being vetted
on their way in. It's those perchase that I would
move to priority at least two.

Speaker 9 (02:54:51):
Yeah, you're going to have to hire four guys around
you as quote unquote bodyguards, but you're going to have
to hire two or three snipers to be on rooftops
around you as well.

Speaker 10 (02:55:00):
You're gonna have to up that game.

Speaker 12 (02:55:01):
It looks and this is the way colleges are going
to get out of having conservative speakers come to campus.
They're going to say it's too big of a security
bread and they can't they can't facilitate the request. But
there's more information coming out a little bit anyway. They
feel like they have dialed in the age of the assassin,
the shooter, and it looks like he's a college age

(02:55:25):
mail is what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (02:55:26):
All right, we'll talk about that and take your phone
calls next.

Speaker 1 (02:55:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, The Most Dangerous ten
Minutes in Review on screened phone calls. Get in though
by dialing one eight eight eight six Big Fox.

Speaker 3 (02:55:53):
It's unscreened phone calls, and it's your turn to join us.
All ten lines now open and we screen as we
go and you can go ahead and ask your question,
make your comment, and we moved through them as they
come at us, one by one. It is, yeah, the
most Dangerous ten Minutes in Radio. We turned the show

(02:56:17):
over to you, the people, and let you speak so
and we just kind of make those decisions as we go.
So if you want to join us, go right ahead.
If you're already there and the phone is ringing, then
you're already in, So let's get started. The lines are available,
but they're closing fast. Welcome to the Rick Burgess Show.

(02:56:37):
Unscreen phone calls, go right ahead.

Speaker 19 (02:56:41):
Let me start this off good.

Speaker 1 (02:56:42):
I think we all need a highlight in.

Speaker 3 (02:56:44):
Our life, So do do all? Right? So you're saying
you're providing a little little something to relieve the stress.
Your timing was bold, Your discernment probably needs some work.
We continue. Welcome to the Rick Burgershon thirty. It's cream phone,
go ahead.

Speaker 6 (02:57:05):
Hey, I just wanted to say with this Charlie Kurt,
you know, thing that happened, I just want to put
it out there. You know, Charlie didn't lose. You know,
he's in heaven right now, you know, with our Lord
and Savior. So it's really just you know, pray for
his family. But I just want to put it out
there that he did not lose his battle. You know,
he's in heaven with our good Lord, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:57:26):
No no doubt about that. Those that have been redeemed, uh,
this is uh, they just go from you know, imperfection
to perfection, which is beautiful. It's what those of us
that are left need to do. And you know, one
of the things just from a spiritual standpoint, and we're
recording another strange encounters today. And I did hear that
yesterday when there was an attempt to pray for his

(02:57:48):
family on the Senate floor.

Speaker 19 (02:57:50):
Was it there there?

Speaker 3 (02:57:51):
I believe. I don't know if it was the House
or the Senate, but and I believe it was the House.

Speaker 10 (02:57:56):
Mike Johnson was the House trying to shut people up.

Speaker 3 (02:57:59):
Yeah. Yeah, And the thought of praying for anyone in
this situation, regardless of political views, the fact that we're
about to petition the one and only living God, and
people that our fellow citizens have elected and placed in
this position begin to scream, no, no, let's not do that.

(02:58:19):
See that that's not that's not helping. When it comes
to this spiritual battle, you know, you need to really
think about yourself. Let's say you're in there and God forbid,
God forbid it. Say Bernie Sanders had passed, okay, and
I'm there as a representative of the great state of Alabama. Okay,

(02:58:40):
things have really drastically changed for that to happen. Let's
say that I would say if somebody said, hey, y'all
want to start right now and pray for the Sanders
family and all the friend friends and family. Bernie, absolutely,
I want to screaming, no, no, no, And see what
they're screaming at is not just Charlie Kirk. They're screaming
at the thought of the nation's representatives praying to the

(02:59:02):
one and only living God.

Speaker 1 (02:59:03):
Yep, and that's who was shot at.

Speaker 3 (02:59:05):
It's that kind of attitude that the darkness is thriving on,
and we the people need to do something about who
we send there. Uh Rick Burgess show, unscreen phone calls,
go ahead. We need to make better decisions on who
we put there.

Speaker 1 (02:59:21):
Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (02:59:22):
Yeah, there's a row Dave Mercered No, thank.

Speaker 3 (02:59:25):
You, uh Rick Burgess show, unscreen phone calls, unscreen phone calls,
go ahead.

Speaker 17 (02:59:32):
Yes, sir. If I can get a picture of a
deer walking down a trail on my cell phone, why
can't they put pods on these buildings that would kind
of monitor and let you know, I mean simply say
you guys, you know, back back that and and I
I mean you can get it sent to your phone.
I mean, how hard would it be to have a
little team sitting there monitoring if something happens to send them.

Speaker 3 (02:59:54):
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. You could do it
technologically and uh. And it like like the some people
saying that people did see the shooter on the roof
and didn't make much as much about it. I don't
know if that's true or not, but it looks like
some of this technology. Looks like a doorbell camera may
have given law enforcement to the picture of the suspect

(03:00:15):
they need. Rick Burger's show unscreen phone calls go ahead,
of course, that's after the fact.

Speaker 8 (03:00:20):
Hey there, guys, this is a name is Josh.

Speaker 3 (03:00:22):
I'm a youth pastor over in the Hoover area.

Speaker 7 (03:00:24):
Okay, And you know, my biggest thing with this entire
situation is the amount of selective sympathy that I see
within social media.

Speaker 3 (03:00:34):
People.

Speaker 7 (03:00:34):
You know that they would get mad at the genocide
that they call in Gaza, they get mad at you know,
George Floyd. But then the second is somebody who disagrees
with their beliefs, they begin to praise it. It's just
it's baffling.

Speaker 3 (03:00:45):
Yeah, but you know, you know this being on the
front lines when you're dealing with dark and light and
we're dealing with these things are in the spiritual realm.
This is not political. They hide behind political. But it's demonic,
is what it is. Because you think about what you
just said. That seems so so logical of how what's

(03:01:05):
appropriate what's not. But like we said on the show
the other day, and we've said it many times, social
media has allowed cowards to say whatever they want to say,
no matter how horrifying it is, either about you or
in response to an event like this, and there's no accountability.
They don't have to face anybody. They can make up

(03:01:28):
a name, they can put some stupid cartoon picture there
and their little profile, and they just sit there in
their little evil world and they just spout out this garbage,
this demonic garbage, and they face no repercussion. And I look,
I have discovered it on my own and to show
you how cowardice it is. If you start pursuing them

(03:01:51):
and say, hey, let's have a conversation. I want to
refute what you said, they freak out. They can't handle it. Yeah,
they don't know, you know. I would say of the
people that have said lies about me publicly or when
after me that I said, let's have a conversation about this,
or let's at least email back and forth you and me.
I'm not exaggerating. I would say one percent have been

(03:02:13):
willing to do it. Most of them are just there there.
They're cowards and they're they're there. They have no they
have that, they don't have any guts whatsoever. And we
need to remind them that, you know, you're not impressing
anyone when you anonymously just spout wickedness, lies, accusations and

(03:02:35):
all that. If you'll look, whether they know it or not,
all of that are traits the scripture describes for demonic activity,
and Satan himself the father of lies. You remember Jesus said,
when you lie, you're speaking the language of Satan. Uh

(03:02:55):
we uh we continue. Rick Burgess show unscreen phone calls go.

Speaker 1 (03:03:00):
He good morning, gentlemen, Adler.

Speaker 16 (03:03:03):
I had a question for you. Good You and I
are about.

Speaker 3 (03:03:08):
The same age.

Speaker 15 (03:03:09):
Where are you at on the band, the Smashing Pumpkings,
You give them anything?

Speaker 10 (03:03:14):
I did not think that's what you're gonna say.

Speaker 3 (03:03:16):
No, you know, I gotta to say that.

Speaker 9 (03:03:20):
Sometimes that band was big when I was in middle school,
and I liked them a lot then, and they and
I'll fade pretty hard. On some of those bands, or
I'll go back and listen to it and be like,
that's not even a good song, especially with how grinding
Billy Billy Corgan Corbyn Corgan, especially with how grinding his
voice is. But they're not good songs substance wise, But

(03:03:43):
as far as being good rock songs, they've had more
staying power than I thought that they would, if that
makes any sense, right.

Speaker 3 (03:03:49):
You know what, I don't think I would recognize one
of their songs that might play.

Speaker 10 (03:03:53):
This fine on my range. I am still just a
rat in a cage.

Speaker 3 (03:03:58):
Okay, no tonight, no, no Rick Bird, you show unscreen
phone calls.

Speaker 1 (03:04:04):
Go ahead.

Speaker 19 (03:04:06):
Hey, I just wanted some advice, Okay, okay. I have
some pesky neighbors, like very pesky, and the other day.

Speaker 13 (03:04:16):
I'm gonna stay at home mom.

Speaker 19 (03:04:17):
So I have three kids and I stay home all
the time with them. And they walked into my house.
Did not they knocked on the front door, but they
walked in through my back What do I need to
do about the situation?

Speaker 3 (03:04:29):
WHOA, they just walked into your house uninvited?

Speaker 6 (03:04:33):
Yeah, they tried to say that.

Speaker 19 (03:04:34):
My three year old opened the door, the back door,
and she can't open it, so.

Speaker 10 (03:04:40):
The police then you need to call the police.

Speaker 3 (03:04:42):
Then it sounds like yeah, or let them spend some
time with your kids and they probably won't come back. Yeah, yeah,
sure to let them. Let them try to do what
you do every day.

Speaker 10 (03:04:50):
I ask them for help. Babysit.

Speaker 19 (03:04:53):
My kids are kind of holes anyway.

Speaker 3 (03:04:55):
No, look, they're just kids, and kids are okay, kids
are tiring. How about this. I compliment you for staying
home and raising your kids while they're going. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (03:05:04):
Also, there is a day that occurs when that kid
could not open that door yesterday and today he can.
That does occur, Ezra, No, there's two weeks ago he
could not open our gate or open our back door
to the back deck, and they.

Speaker 3 (03:05:15):
Figure out you can.

Speaker 9 (03:05:16):
Now.

Speaker 10 (03:05:16):
Yeah, there is a day that changes.

Speaker 3 (03:05:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you. I don't want you
to start troubling And of course we had to. We
lost her. I mean, if she has a husband that
is in the home, I think this is the job
of the husband, not you. You don't need to engage
these people. I would have my husband, and if you
don't have a husband that I mean, I don't know
the dynamic of the family, but somebody, your husband should

(03:05:41):
go to them and say, hey, you know what, we
don't mean you any ill will. We love being your neighbors.
I want us to all get along. It's just not
really appropriate to enter our home without being invited, and
we certainly wouldn't do that to you, and we have
little kids. Like Adler just said, there's some safety issues
about the being closed, and and you know you just

(03:06:04):
let's all work together on this. Try to be real nice,
real calm, real humble about it. And then if it continues,
you may have to, like Adler said, you may have
to take bigger steps. I hope not, because there's nothing
worse than neighbors that don't get along and you having
to live with them for a long periods of time. Yeah,
we continue, Rick Burderr Show, unscreen phone calls go ahead.

Speaker 11 (03:06:26):
Yes, I almost talking about the Charlie Kirk thing yesterday,
and I agree with all the praiseident but I look
at a kind of a different take, and that's with
society now being so disconnected from one another. We went
from sitting on front porches to calling on phones and

(03:06:46):
now we don't even have to do that.

Speaker 3 (03:06:47):
We text.

Speaker 11 (03:06:48):
So there's the lack of humanity in the world today
is alarming to me. Like you say, you can get
on social media and you can downgrade somebody without even
facing that person. And I think that's a big prom
me in today's society.

Speaker 3 (03:07:03):
Yeah, and I'll add to that, and I think you're
kind of saying the same thing. Look, we have really
dumb down the value of human light.

Speaker 1 (03:07:10):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (03:07:12):
You know these things that we're allowing to go on, desensicize,
desensitizing people to gore and blood and death. Guys, this
is bad stuff. I mean you you know, the the
things we have done as a nation that seems to

(03:07:35):
keep crying out. Human life is no big deal. It's
no different than a sick animal or something like that.
We're the dividends are coming in on that and that's
got to change, which is along the lines of what
you're saying here. I don't think we see people in
humanity the way we once did.

Speaker 1 (03:07:52):
This is the Rick Burgess show, Strange Encounters, the new

(03:08:17):
podcast from Rick Burgess. Get it now wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 3 (03:08:22):
Okay, So Adler and I are recording another one today
of Strange Encounters will be out this weekend. All the
things that we've had to kind of endure over the
last week. We'll cover all that. There's some other things
we'll cover, but yes we will because everything you're seeing

(03:08:43):
right now is exactly what we've been talking about about
spiritual warfare and what Scripture has to say. I mean,
we're literally told by Scripture to put on the whole
armor of God because we enter into a spiritual battle,
not human but principality and forces that are all around us.

(03:09:04):
So we'll talk more about that coming up this weekend
on Strange Encounters. And thanks for all your wonderful feedback
on that. Another thing someone saying, tell me again where
I can get the broadcast, which not the whole broadcast,
but it is excerpts from the broadcast back in the

(03:09:24):
Rick and Bubba days in two thousand and one. Since
we're celebrating the twenty fourth anniversary today of nine to
eleven that attack. You can get that by going to
wherever you download music, and you can find our old
albums from the Rick and Bubby years. They're all there,
and you can find that cut. The nine to eleven

(03:09:46):
tribute is there. Adler says. You can also find it
by going where Adler on the YouTube version of the
thing you put together that has that audio with now
pictures as well.

Speaker 10 (03:09:58):
Yes, that is still on YouTube.

Speaker 9 (03:10:00):
You can just do Rick Bubba nine to eleven, Rick
Bubba September eleventh.

Speaker 1 (03:10:06):
We can.

Speaker 10 (03:10:06):
I'll put that out on I'll tweet it right now
as well or ex post it whatever.

Speaker 9 (03:10:11):
But if you, if you or even if you just
do Rick Bubba nine eleven, that that will that will
pull that up for you as well. I titled it
what it was Like being Live on the Air because
it's a you know, a big old montage of of
y'all's time on the air.

Speaker 10 (03:10:25):
There also Speedy.

Speaker 9 (03:10:27):
If you're looking for the audio only, just also look
for September eleventh tribute also Speedy. You did such a
great job of putting that together with the with the
music there and the excerpts from the show that horrific day.

Speaker 3 (03:10:40):
Yeah, so there you go, Text Nation, there there's your
answer on that. Dennis Prager. You know, Dennis Prager has
been in bad shape. You know, he had a fault
and just I mean he's still not back, but you know,
for a while they didn't think he was gonna live live,
and but he is. With with Prager, you I mean, yes,

(03:11:00):
his fireside chats a lot. He's got a great staff
and they're doing a good job. But but anyway, so
he's now can like at one time they had him.
I think he placed a call, was able to talk
a little bit. Sherry played that for me. She's a
big Dennis Prager fan.

Speaker 6 (03:11:16):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:11:16):
But he put out a statement about Charlie Kirk would
would sound similar to what you just played Adler from
from Limball. It's similar, But Dennis Prager said he brought
up an incredible point that Charlie Kirk may have become
president one day, the loss of his great mind and
articulate expression of America's values is an immeasurable loss for

(03:11:40):
the youth of our country.

Speaker 5 (03:11:42):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:11:43):
But that's that's probably that's probably true. But hopefully someone
else can take that baton. But that's the word from
Dennis Prager, and glad to hear he's doing better. Absolutely, man,
he's had a tough time. And have you ever watched
him his fireside chats. He's just another one of those
people that arelates the logic and common sense of conservative values.

(03:12:07):
And even though he's not a Christian, he is a
practicing Jew, and so he's very knowledgeable about the Old
Testament and also has some really incredible things to say
about that, but from a from just kind of the
way of the world and his explanation of things. And

(03:12:30):
he's another one who has been trying to get that
message to young people with Pregger You, and they've been
incredibly effective as well. The Prigger You quick videos Oh yeah,
are just they're good.

Speaker 9 (03:12:40):
Here's why communism has called the most people of any
right sort of government ever, and here's why socialism leads
to communism.

Speaker 10 (03:12:47):
That's very quick and simple and clear and great stuff
from them.

Speaker 3 (03:12:52):
Much lighter. Note a little bit of football here. You
see LA quarterback Pierce Clarkson. Apparently that's the backup to
the kid that went from Tennessee there right, what was
his name? And he ended up? Is that one of
the worst decisions anybody's made with Nico Yeah. I mean,
I don't know how U c l A is doing early,

(03:13:12):
but I see how Tennessee is doing.

Speaker 9 (03:13:15):
Oh yeah, because his name is Nico Lama Leva and
he's like Nico Ama Levin.

Speaker 3 (03:13:18):
Something like that. It's not him, but the backup quarterback
at U c l A. Pierce Clarkson I've never heard
of him, but he has been arrested on a felony
charge and suspended from the team indefinitely apparently. You know,
it's so funny that the transfer portal is so out

(03:13:39):
of control. They don't even have a picture of Pierce
Clarkson in the u c. L A uniform. He's still
in the Louisville uniform. So I guess that's where he
came from, because the picture they had to use for
this story, they have a picture of him in Louisville.
Was he at Louisville before that?

Speaker 12 (03:13:57):
I'm not sure, but I heard you know one or
NFL great Greg Olsen, he does I think is he
Fox on the Fox broadcast now too? I heard him
on a podcast and he was talking about the transfer
portal and nil and he's like, it's got to be
one of the other. In other words, like if you know,
he goes like you don't hear in the NFL, somebody
just signs a huge contract, gets all this money in

(03:14:18):
next year because they didn't play much. They want to go,
they want to leave. I know, He's like, yeah, I
feel like if if you receive nil money, then then
you've got to stay at that university for at least
a couple of years.

Speaker 10 (03:14:30):
You can't just.

Speaker 3 (03:14:30):
Leave every year. Well, it's got to be one of
the other. The pendulum has swung too far to the players. Yeah,
it's got to swing back to the university.

Speaker 12 (03:14:37):
You can't get two million dollars from Texas A and
M and you don't like playing time or the situation,
so you leave and get X amount from another team.

Speaker 3 (03:14:44):
I'm just making up ten. Yeah. Well, and also a
coach that I talked to that said I had a
player last season didn't want to be there, wasn't getting
to play enough. He just stopped going to class, got
deemed academically ineligible, and I still had to pay him
until he left to say, and he wasn't even he
wasn't even playing. And then he left and went to
another singer. But I had to pay him out the

(03:15:05):
rest of the year. That's wrong. Thanks for being with
US America and press on. If you missed in the show,
you want that archive today.
