Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety and Dallas Fort Worth Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, d C and five point fifty KFYI
and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine or take us along on the drive
to work, but as we always say, better late than never.
Enjoy the podcast on.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
O'dill chorna seven minutes after the hour.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Good morning and welcome to Monday, September, the fifteenth year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty five on the Earth, Streaming
live on your Rheart Radio app.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is your morning show.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
We're honored to serve you. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound.
It isn't it flowing? Just raw, just well already red.
Keeping an eye on the content if you're just waking up.
A public memorial for Charlie Kirk will take place on
Sunday inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. A vigil
Slash memorial already took place at the Kennedy Center and

(01:10):
Chelsea Gabbard was there. Speaker Johnson was there. RFK Junior
coming up in our Sounds of the Day with a
very emotional portion of that speech. The man accused of
assassinating Charlie Kirk is set to be in court this
week tomorrow, to my understanding to be exact, Vice President
Vance Is announced on social media that he will host

(01:30):
Charlie Kirk's show today, and New York Governor Kathy Hokeel
is endorsing zoron mom Donnie after all, I hope she's
looking forward to paying for everything that he has planned. Oh,
I hope there's enough money to go around for that.
The Emmys were last night. If you didn't watch, there
were two things. One the studio Adolescens, the Pit and

(01:54):
Severance were the big winners throughout the night. The other
was Nate Bargatzi hosted it, and he started the sho
by saying he will donate one hundred thousand dollars to
the Boys and Girls Club of America. But the catch
was for every second over forty five seconds in an
acceptance speech at Knocks, a thousand off, and it was

(02:15):
funny to watch. I mean, look, I don't play this game,
but you know, obviously Stephen Colbert doesn't have a job,
not because Donald Trump's president, not because the world is intolerant,
but because of technology and that show and the choices

(02:35):
all late night shows make to be political have driven
the ratings into nowhere and the revenue they lose forty
million dollars. That's why he was canceled by CBS. Oh
and then ironically he gets the Emmy. Well, his speech
went on and on as he took his big victory

(02:56):
lap in being fired. And that's fine, but he chewed
up all the money by going over, So now you
could have some fun with that that he's actually cost
CBS forty million dollars in the Boys and Girls Club.
When it was all said and done between CBS and
a Bargazzi, they went ahead and donated three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
But that was the Emmys last night. And I try
not to be negative, but.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
If I lived in Minnesota waking up this morning, I'd
be thinking I got a bit.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Of a quarterback problem.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Completely roughed up last night by Atlanta at home, and
for JJ McCarthy, it just doesn't seem to be happening,
at least not in two weeks anyway. So that's kind
of what the table is set for conversation today. We're
gonna be a little bit more inside that, beyond the vigil

(03:52):
or memorial because they called it both at the Kennedy
Center to the big public service memorial coming up at
a football stadium a week from now. Andrew Covid is
the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show. He said Sunday,
in the past forty eight hours alone, Turning Point USA
had received more than thirty two thousand inquiries from people

(04:17):
wanting to start new campus chapters. We don't know if
that's from the decision makers at any of these high
schools or colleges, and these are just students interested and
maybe starting a chapter. But that would be quite an
expansion to put that into perspective. Turning Point USA currently

(04:39):
has nine hundred official colleges with chapters, twelve hundred high
schools with chapters thirty five hundred to thirty two thousand.
That's a significant tenfold increase. The quote he's vision to

(05:00):
have a Club America chapter. That's what they call the
high school brand. Charlie's vision have a Club America chapter
in every high school in America, which is about twenty
three thousand in and of itself, will obviously come true
much faster than he ever imagined possible. The alleged assassin

(05:20):
Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on fur furries
is what my kid's friend was, right. That's where you
think you're an animal, or you're attracted animals or is
this fury? Is it furries or fury. I'm trying to

(05:44):
figure out which one this series, it's like, oh, Fury,
He's just had a fixation on sexualizing animals.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I actually, unfortunately I have experienced with this one of
the neighborhoo kids who were close with my kids as this.
I guess what shocked and creeped my kids out the
most was knowing him before it and then it happening,
and then the family kind of affirming it. So like

(06:18):
literally you would go to his sister's birthday party and
everybody would be at the table having cake, and he'd
be having his cake out of the dog bowl, and
he dressed like he was some kind of a furry
dog and slept in a dog bed. I'll leave it

(06:40):
up to you whether or not that is a actual
gee I'm an animal trapped in a human body, or
if that is a mental illness. Meanwhile, we also have
the confirmation he lived with a transgendered boyfriend that has
been since exposed. The boyfriend supported Joe Biden joked about

(07:03):
being mentally ill. And I start there because that's really
the uncomfortable moment we all find ourselves in the psychiatric community.
Used to call this a mental illness. Now it's just
gender dysphoria. And we've had a killer in Minneapolis who,

(07:29):
in his long video that he left us, knew he
was mentally ill and was also very angry, angry with
feeling duped into being transgendered.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I say, uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
It's not uncomfortable for me, but it's gonna be uncomfortable
for culture to tackle this. You see, the left doesn't
have any problems saying guns are the problem. Okay, Well,
after Nashville, after Minneapolis, after Charlie Kirk, I don't know,
is there a transgender trend coming? And in two of
the three cases, they're signifying to you that they're not happy,

(08:17):
that they're mentally ill, and they feel betrayed by culture.
Now I say that just to challenge all of us,
because you might think, wow, I can't think of any
I mean, if I had to think of something, it
would be okay. Culture has risen up until the transgender

(08:37):
If you were born biologically male, have at it. I
know you feel like you're in the wrong body, and
after you're eighteen years old, if you want to change
that body, have at it. But you can't compete against
biologically born girls in sports. If they're thinking they're persecuted,
that's the worst that happened to them. And in this

(08:58):
particular case, and the worst that happened to somebody that
spoke that truth is they get shot in the neck
and killed. How's equality looking there? But now this is
two very high profile cases in a row, three if

(09:19):
you count Nashville. But we don't know much about her
because they have hidden it. The Minneapolis shooter didn't leave
any ability to hide anything by writing on the weapon weapons,
writing on the ammunitions, and by leaving a twenty minute video.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
And now we have this, So it.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Would just seem to me and I'm not being confrontational
or provocative this morning.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
If we're going to move forward.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Although I do have to say, and that Charlie cou
Kirk shooting, well, I guess there's been some right, not
as much as you thought. I mean, you really can't
go there and just blame guns because this one was
so politically motivated. But if you're gonna blame guns every time,
and you're gonna move forward with trying to calm things down,
which I'm for, it's kind of hard to leave this

(10:20):
blank and just ignore the transgender theme that has developed
and answering the question did science have it right in
the first place and need to get back to that,
or can somebody communicate with the transgendered community and say, look,

(10:42):
no one hates you, no one's gonna harm you. We
just don't want any permanent operations happening until you're eighteen.
If for no other reason, I would just state the
science supports that it's somewhere between ninety three depending on
if it's male turning female oral turning meal, it's between
ninety three and ninety six point eight percent. It works

(11:04):
itself out by the end of adolescens. And if that's true,
you don't want to do anything permanent, because the damage
we're seeing more of is those that have made taken
permanent actions and then later regret it. That was another
thing we were very silent about with abortion. Fact like

(11:27):
abortion was okay, it was a choice, it was your body.
But the proclivity for women to then suffer infertility or
regret and mental anguish when they do eventually have children,
that was never involved in the choice conversation. So somebody

(11:50):
are looking in the eye and say, all right, how
does America move on? How does America heal? And what
do we do with this transgender issue that keeps popping up?
Because just moving on isn't going to change it, nor
would the left saying it's guns and the right saying

(12:13):
it's transgendered.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I actually think the Governor of Utah has it right.
I think one of the real cancers is social media.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
And that's really the ultimate question we're all still facing.
If this is the late sixties all over again, how
did it calm down the first time and not go
all the way into some kind of unrest in civil war,
and how can we do it this time? I know

(12:44):
the Governor of Utah addressed some of that. We'll be
addressing it as well between now and the end of
the show. All right, how safe is your retirement? That's
a legitimate question. Wars everywhere. Debt continues to skyrocket, and
the dollar continue used to lose its purchasing power. The
value of the dollar is falling fast, and that's why

(13:08):
more people are converting their IRA or four oh one
ks into gold and silver IRA just to protect and
diversify the retirement savings. In twenty twenty five, both gold
and silver have risen an impressive twenty nine percent, and
many experts project even bigger.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Gains that had take action.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Now, convert some of your IRA or four oh one
k into gold and silver iray with Lear Capital. Call
eight hundred five nine eight forty one hundred for a
free precious Metals guide and an IRA transfer kit. This
will give you time to look it all over, read
it all over, and you with a qualified purchase, you
could get up to a fifteen thousand dollars bonus of

(13:46):
gold or silver deposited directly into your precious metals IRA.
Lear Capital the nation's leader in precious metals for twenty
eight years. Call eight hundred five one thirty seven hundred.
That's eight hundred thirty seven hundred leir Capital one eight
hundred five one thirty seven hundred.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chono.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
This is your Morning Show, and these are your top
five stories of the day. A memorial service for conservative
activist Charlie Kirk will be held next week in Glendale, Arizona.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
Turning Point USA announced building a Legacy Remembering Charlie Kirk
will take place in Arizona. Morgan Chesky with the Tales

We anticipate formal charges that have come this Tuesday, and
among those charges aggravated murder. In the meantime, a public
memorial has now been scheduled for Charlie Kirk next week

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Vice President JD. Vance escorted Kirk's casket back to Phoenix
on Air Force two on Thursday. Kirk was shot and
killed while speaking at a Turning Point event at Utah
Valley University Wednesday. The memorial service will be open to
the public. I'm he said Taylor, the.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Governor of Utah, says, Charlie Kirk's assassination suspect was deeply
indoctrinated with leftist ideology.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Republican Spencer Cox told CNN's State of the Union that's
been learned through interviews involving Tyler Robinson's friends and family.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
It is important again to understand how someone gets radicalized
like this, and in this case, it happened with as
much as people wish it wasn't or don't want it
to be this, these are the facts.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
Cowk's added he can confirm the twenty two year olds
live in romantic partner is a male transitioning to become
a female, and that person is cooperating with police. Robinson
is said to be arraigned on state murder charges on Tuesday,
and also expected to be charged federally at some point.
I'm Tammy Trihio.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
President Trump says the White House ballroom will be a
little bigger than originally planned.

Speaker 9 (15:48):
In a telephone interviews Saturday with NBC News, Trump said
the ballroom will be about forty percent bigger than estimates
given in July by the White House. He went on
to call it top of the line. Trump reiterated in
the NBC News interview that the cost would be shouldered
at least in part by donors or patriots, as he
referred to them, I'm Rob Bartier, Ah The.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Hi. I'm Dennis from Pupleel, Mississippi, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Joano. Hey, it's Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Your Morning Show can be heard live each weekday morning
on great stations like thirteen sixty The Patriot in San Diego,
News Talk one oh six point three and AM eighteen
eighty wm EQ oh Claire, Wisconsin and one oh four
nine The Patriot and Saint Louis, Missouri. Would love to
be a part of your morning routine. But so glad
you're here. Now enjoyed the podcast. We've often joked that

(17:55):
we could do a separate show with what goes on
here during the commercial breaks and it would get much
higher ratings. You should see three sane men, varying in age.
Who is the youngest among us? Me? No, you, I'm
the youngest. I'm the baby.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, well you're not a baby.

Speaker 10 (18:17):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
You're closer to wearing diapers at the end, not the beginning.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
What are you? Fifty something?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Fifty seven? Yeah. Oh and Brad, you're my age, right.
We think we think we might have been twins. I
aged better, but we think we might have been twins.
What are you answer? Oh, he won't give his age.
What are You're younger than you? Oh, you're younger.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Anyway, So the point was going to be mature men
trying to figure out what a fury is. And I
wasn't being immature, vulgar or anything. I'm just trying to
figure out, you know, because I have an anecdotal experience

(19:04):
a young kid in our neighborhood who used to play
with my kids when they were really young. My kids
got miserable pimples, became teenagers. This kid became a puppy
dog and it wasn't a phase, and it's still going on.
When he was a teenager. If you went to their

(19:25):
birthday parties, he'd be dressed like a dog, eating the
cake out of a dog bowl while the parents are
serving cake to the birthday.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Girl and the friends.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, that eating cake and not kibble, because he's not
that furry. I don't know. This is where you guys
keep doing this to me. So I put Jeffrey in
charge with somebody, you know, because at one point I
even said, art, so what serience between being b s
reality and a furry and Red chimes in, well, it's
only on the internet.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Well he wasn't only on the internet. If it's only
on the internet, why is.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
He eating cake out of a I'm trying to figure this,
so tell them what happened to you, Jeffrey when you
were trying to search and figure it out?

Speaker 11 (20:07):
So I'm trying to You asked Google a question, Hey,
what is furry fixation? And it gives me here are
the top web results for exploring it.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
You don't want to become one, You want to know what.

Speaker 11 (20:19):
It is, right, And then I said, so you're not
going to explain this to me? I ask Google, like
it's a person, So you're not going to explain what
this is to me.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
You begin to shame Google what you're saying.

Speaker 11 (20:31):
And then Google started to give me all of these results.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
What a shock that Google wanted you to become one
rather than, you know, just simply answer your question, all right?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
So The New York Post.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Was one of many outlets to confirm Charlie Kirk's assassination
suspect had a furry fixation doesn't mean like to wear
fur coats. We can't give you the definitive. I could
ask Chat. I always say it wrong. I say GDP
right and it's GPT GPT yeah, Chat, Yeah, what was GDP?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's again, this is all fair topic. I'm trying to
forget why I keep miss speaking that one.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Anyway, whatever, I pay whatever, I paid sixty nine bucks
for life.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
For I'll ask it later. We'll see what answer.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I hope I don't have to, like hal stop being
evasive and answer me. But anyway, the alleged assassin, Tyler
Robinson appeared to have a furry fixation, also living with
not a roommate we later find out a transgendered boyfriend.

Speaker 11 (21:49):
We believes he's wad as the other the beast reality.
I think it's more like the folks that fight with
nurse swords in the park. It's a subculture. It's just
a club type of deal is. I don't know how
it gets by the parents. If my son ever came
down said I like my cake in Scouts bowl, he'd

(22:11):
get either sit at the table and eat the cake
or go to your room.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
That's it. That's where it ends.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, so you know but these are the kind of
things that you know, culture has been telling us to
accept and affirm, and it's looking more like what the
psychiatric community was sensing and diagnosing for decades. All Right,
I want to get to this story. It took us

(22:37):
four minutes to clear up our off air confusion and
an uncooperative Google.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Just make it away.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
This is why I just never thought I would live
in times like this. There was an old song by
Randy Stonehill, and that song was in the late seventies
and he was singing, stop the world, I want to
get off.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
This is too weird for me.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I wonder what he's thinking today and if he would
please just pen a song so I can make it
my theme song. The Utah Governor Spencer Cox, you would
never want to take an unfortunate tragedy like this and
say anything positive. It just doesn't feel natural. I will
say this in the midst of all of this. Who

(23:22):
has handled things better than Governor Spencer Cox? And so
it's almost like, you know the difference between when you
say somebody nice to meet you, It's kind of like
you know, how are you? When you don't really care
you're nice to meet you? And then you'll spend time.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I had. This situation happened in golf.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I went e golfed with Ralph Bristol and his granddaughter
and her fiance and Joey, who was a baseball player
at South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
He was a game cock.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Now he's a baseball coach at a college in Saint
Louis where we have the Patriot And I cannot tell you, Unfortunately,
in the nearly five and a half hours it took
to play eighteen holes, what a pleasure it was to
intersect that life, to spend that time with him. I mean,

(24:16):
I really loved this guy by the end of the round.
And when I say goodbye it him, I said, man,
it was so nice to meet you. I really meant it.
And I guess and that's bird. I would say. My
exposure to Governor Spencer Cox has felt that way. That's
a leader I didn't know, had never seen before, never
heard from before, and I find him very special.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
And unfortunately it's unfortunate how I met him.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Let's leave it at that, but now we find out
that you tak Governor Spencer Cox said, President Trump asked
him to call for nonviolence after Charlie Kirk was murdered
on campus last week. I don't do much national press anymore.

(25:04):
The White House asked us to come on and talk
about this because they were worried about escalation. I just
want I just I wanted to give this a segment.
It might be something no one else is going to
talk about. If I had to, I would tell you

(25:29):
the last time we were in this situation. I agree
with Governor Cox, is the late sixties. Assassination after assassination
after assassination. What finally solved it? No one can really
put a finger on.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
The two.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
There's three three main elements that people look at. One
the hippie movement turned to the Jesus movement, which was
a cultural awakening and a spiritual revival. You don't have
a lot of murder and violence in the midst of
a spiritual and cultural awakening. The other is Richard Nixon

(26:05):
in the sixty eight election. Richard Nixon ignored the far
left and ignored the far right, and did it on purpose.
He spoke to the majority center, and a lot of
people credit it with us moving on. And the third,

(26:32):
everybody just saw too much and had enough. It was
just too much pain to watch people go through and
their curiosity moved to space, it moved to other things.
What is the real answer. I think it has a
lot to do with Nixon, and I think it's all

(26:57):
of the above. But here's the problem. If I were
talking to you about the Civil War and the lead
up to it, or the late sixties, that could have
gone either way into civil war or complete anarchy. Imagine

(27:17):
if we'd had the internet too. Imagine if social media
existed in eighteen fifty or in nineteen sixty eight. How
less likely whight it have been for any of those
others other than Nixon choosing to ignore.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
The right and the left. We don't have that right now.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
We have the right holding its ground, the left holding
its ground, and both telling everybody to cool off.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
But if they keep.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Playing far left far right, and the Internet continues to
exist in social media, that's what they're telling us. Radicalize
the shooter. I'm guessing it's his boyfriend. Where are we?
That's number one? Number two? How would you like to

(28:09):
be the governor of Utah? And I really think it
broke his heart. This happened in Utah. We had a caller,
one of my favorite truckers, called up, I don't want
to ruin his call, but just for the sake of understanding,
and he was, yeah, go ahead and play it real quick.

Speaker 10 (28:27):
Good morning, Michael truck or Russ here. I'm really glad
to see that you survived the weekend safe and sound,
you know, with all the with the riots and the
looting and the burning of the buildings and towns and
cars and oh wait a minute, we're not the ones
that do that. Isn't that a real eye opener or

(28:47):
should be to the rest of the world that.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Live right Yeah, we don't. We don't have a lot
to be grateful for right now, but that would be
one of them. One side doesn't react this way. And
I've seen other comparisons to the way George Floyd was
treated versus Charlie Kirk, the Kirk There are truth to
all of those, but the reality is, here's a guy

(29:16):
that's not public and the president tells him, go be public.
I need you to give a Robert Kennedy speech. Robert
Kennedy was running for president, and the call was made,
Martin Luther King's just been killed.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
We need you to calm America.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
And maybe one of the most important speeches no one
ever talks about and rarely pops up in documentaries, but boy,
when it does, it's always powerful. Apparently President Trump called
Utah Governor Spencer Cox and said, I need you to
give a Bobby Kennedy speech.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I don't even know if it occurred to Spencer Cox.
What happened to Bobby.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Kennedy the last time the President needed someone to calm America?

Speaker 3 (30:12):
And how did he do well?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
This is why it was so nice to meet him.

Speaker 8 (30:19):
I've been in touch with President Trump, with FBI Director
Cash Pttel.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
We are completely aligned with.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
Our state and federal partners as we work through this case. Now,
this is a dark day for our state. It's a
tragic day for our nation. And I want to be
very clear that this is a political assassination.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
We are.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Celebrating two hundred and fifty years.

Speaker 8 (30:55):
Of the founding of this great nation, that founding document,
the Declaration of Independence, that this great experiment on which
we embarked together two hundred and fifty years ago, that
we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
The first one of those is.

Speaker 8 (31:12):
Life, and today.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
A life was taken.

Speaker 8 (31:22):
Charlie Kirk was first and foremost a husband and a dad.
To young children. He was also very much politically involved,
and that's why he was here on campus. Charlie believed

(31:46):
in the power of free speech and debate to shape
ideas and to persuade people.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
Historically, our university campus.

Speaker 8 (31:59):
Is in this nation, and here in the State of
Utah have been the place where truth and ideas are
formulated and debated. And that's what he does. He comes
on college campuses and he debates.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
All right, this feels almost illegal to know, but our
waking a second. I got to get an ad right
in the middle of this.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
As foundational to the formation of our country, to our
most basic constitutional rights. And when someone takes the life
of a person because of their ideas or their ideals,
then that very constitutional foundation is threatened. Now we have

(32:46):
a person of interest in custody. The investigation is ongoing,
but I want to make it crystal clear right now
to whoever did this, we will find you, we will
try you, and we will hold you accountable to the
furthest extent of the law. And I just want to

(33:10):
remind people that we still have the death penalty here
in the State of Utah.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Our nation is broken. We've had.

Speaker 8 (33:29):
Political assassinations recently in Minnesota, we had an attempted assassination
on the governor of Pennsylvania, and we had an attempted
assassination on a presidential candidate and former President of the
United States and now current President of the United States.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
It was powerful.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I mean, if the president called him to deliver a
Robert Kennedy's speech, boy did he. I've lived in my
state going on twenty years. I haven't had a governor
yet that impressive and doesn't look like I'm going to
get the next one.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
That impressive.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Governor Spencer Cox of Utah, it would be wrong to
miss the goodness of him in the midst of this badness.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
The governor of Utah, says Charlie Kirk's assassination suspect was
deeply indoctrinated by leftist ideology.

Speaker 7 (34:37):
Republican Spencer Cox told CNN's State of the Union that's
been learned through interviews involving Tyler Robinson's friends and family.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
It is important again to understand how someone gets radicalized
like this, and in this case, it happened. As much
as people wish it wasn't or don't want it to
be this. These are the facts.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
Coxs added he can confirm the twenty two year olds
live in romantic partner is a male transitioning to become
a female, and that person is cooperating with police. Robinson
is said to be arraigned on state murder charges on
Tuesday and also expected to be charged federally at some point.
I'm Tammy Trihio.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
The Kennedy Center was the site of a memorial vigil
for Charlie Kirk. Telsea Gabbard, RFK Junior more of his
clip in our Sounds of the Day, very emotional and
Speaker Johnson just some of the.

Officials that attended.
