Speaker 1 (00:03):
From major events to local headlines. This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three WSC. Now back to
Kelly and Blaze.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good morning, Thanks for listening this morning. I might be
about to anger some of you. I'm going to warn you.
Today is the anniversary of nine to eleven. Happened twenty
four years ago today this morning, and I'm seeing it
all over the news. And there was this assassination of
Charlie Kirk yesterday in Utah, and the majority of the
news that I'm looking through this morning is about nine

(00:37):
to eleven remembrance. Now, don't get me wrong, never forget,
but why is the majority of time spent on an
attack on America that happened twenty four years ago when
there was a huge attack on America yesterday? And if
you think that's hyperbole, it's not. Charlie Kirk was an iconoclast.
He was thirty one years old. Think about what he
accomplished in that time. And he created Earning Point USA.

(01:01):
He went out on these college campuses and tried to
change the minds of these I won't call him kids,
young adults who the Left was trying to indoctrinate and
still is into what I would describe as Marxism. And
he did the work, and he went out there and
he faced the truth. And when I say face the truth,
you don't have to believe what he was saying. You

(01:21):
can disagree with what he was saying, but he gave
you the chance to disagree with him to his face.
And he did this over and over and over again.
That was his deal. That's why he was at this
campus yesterday. And after the presidential election. He wasn't just
some somebody that was campaigning for Trump. He first appeared
on TV on Fox News before he graduated high school.

(01:45):
And President Trump even at the time ask him, Charlie
Kirk was instrumental in President Trump winning this last election
and getting more of the younger vote than anybody would expect.
And so Charlie Kirk was a force, and he was
chained the face of politics and how it was conducted,
in how people were thinking. And he was a threat
and they killed him yesterday. And if that's not an

(02:08):
attack on America, I don't know what is. In what
a horrible day nine to eleven was for our nation.
But that was twenty four years ago. There was an
attack on America yesterday that we need to spend time
talking about. And it's fine for all the remembrance and
all of these things and the amount of people that
died and everything, so I mean, I get that part,
but I don't want to spend the majority of my

(02:29):
time talking about an attack in America that happened twenty
four years ago, when there was an attack in America
on American soil. Yesterday, literally, we're talking about the awful
occurrence yesterday of the assassination, the murder of Charlie Cook
on a college campus in Utah, when all he was
doing was speaking his mind and giving everybody in attendance

(02:52):
the chance to do the same, and ironically, that's what
was viewed as a threat by the left. And to
see these people celebrating, these leftist sunline literally joyful over
this occurrence and the trans you know, and I won't
lump them all together because I actually saw some people

(03:13):
in the trans community that were very upset and angry
over this, and but others were just I mean, it's
disgusting to see the joy. I mean, you can't describe
it any other way, but evil. President Trump described it

(03:34):
this way.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
This is a dark moment for America, Charlie Kirk traveled
the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Chance from Summerville. He wanted to speak his mind this morning,
Good morning, Chance.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Hey, what's all man? I appreciate you having me on
the show. Man. My biggest problem, Man, I'm twenty eight
years old. Yeah, Republicans for obviously the past ten years, right,
and it just frustrates me because over the years, I've
seen Democrats push that everybody who voted for the current

(04:10):
president is hateful. We'll go after any political figure on
the Democratic side. Man. I've seen two one attempt and
one killing. I mean, that's that's been on the Republican
side from Democrats. So are we going to continue pushing
the narrative that we're the bad guys and they're the

(04:33):
good guys and that's I don't know, man, when I
saw the news yesterday, I don't know how to respond.
I don't It upsetts me, it frustrates me, and it's hypocritical,
it's gas lighting, it's all of that. Man.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm with you, Chance, and I was thinking the same thing.
I'm like, And I started the show by saying, you
know what I had to put myself in check, and
I'm like, put your anger in check. It's not going
to do anything but harm you by reacting angrily and
lashing out as much as you want to, exactly and

(05:09):
as much as that might be the right time to do,
honestly exactly.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
And it makes me fustion at my age. Then who's next?
And I next? Because of my views? Am? I like?
It's just you see reactions on TikTok. You see, like
if you go on tiktoks, if you go on eggs,
they're consistently trying to pin them all among gun violence.
It's not gun violence, it's not it's political violence. He

(05:36):
was not targeted because he had an opinion on gun
who stargeted because of his political dudes on being a Republican,
being a Christian man who would happily married, a father,
went a child, went home with no father, His twelve
year old daughter witnessed all this. They were at that
exact rally. Yes, it's just frustrating, man, Well it really is.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
And just to correct you a little bit, and I know,
i'll of this was being reported and a lot of
people are saying what they heard yesterday and someone that's wrong.
So his wife and family. Thank god we're not there
in person, so his wife. Yeah, so, so I mean
that doesn't lessen the impact on them, but I think

(06:19):
that they weren't there right there to see that happen.
And I had to look at them up that right. Yeah. Absolutely,
And like you said, I mean, and it's and it
is political violence. And you know what, just by he
was a threat to their narrative and this was not
and he was not a political leader. He had no

(06:42):
influence on their lives, on their lives at all. So
and I'm not excusing like killing a political leader at all,
but I'm saying that political leaders are killed because they
want to get another political leader in there, supposedly, you know,
to replace who whoever they have the problem with, or

(07:03):
whatever the case might be. Anyway, I mean, this was
just a regular citizen out there speaking his mind. This
was not a politician. This was not a president or
a senator or anything else. And like I said, to clarify,
I'm not saying it's all right to do it if
they are or that it's any more understandable, but it's
that much more chilling to know that just some regular

(07:26):
guy who's out there and goes to college campuses, that
he was enough of a threat for them to kill exactly.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
And it's what I just said, Man, who's next?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Thanks for the college morning, buddy, And I'm coming up
on a break here, so I have to take a break.
But it's good to hear from you, and thanks for
sharing your thoughts. And You're not alone. A lot of
us are frustrated. And no, I mean you can't. You
can't blame every Democrat out there, but I will say this,
almost every Democrat out there will say how you can
you support Trump? And they'll atta people and call him

(08:01):
names and say that they're un American and all these
other things, and simply for supporting Trump, and not every
Democrat and the majority of them are not violent and
would not do anything this horrendous. But what they will
do is support the people that perpetrate this. And it's
lost on them. They think that we're the baddies for

(08:25):
supporting Trump. And the majority of political violence is perpetrated
by people on the left, and that is the sad
reality of it.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
At least one reporter anchor has been let go, lost
his job.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, he was a contributor, so not an anchor. Thank God,
they didn't have that much influence. But he was a
contributor on MSNBC. His name was Matthew Dowd. He speculated
that it was he was, you know, probably one of
those right winger and I'm gonna paraphrase here, Well, thre's
you know right winger mega people that carry their guns
all the time. And it was possibly Charlie Kirk supporter

(09:03):
who was so excited to see him, was celebrating and
accidentally discharged their gun and killed them. I mean, this
is how twisted, sick and twisted these people are. And
he's like, oh, I don't know. I mean he was
being facetious, of course, and they fired him. So you

(09:25):
have to give MSNBC credit at least for that. You know,
why they allow these other unhinged people on their air.
I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
ABC. I thought last night the news they closed. I
can't remember the anchor's name at the moment, but it
was actually fitting. And I pray that you know, the
propaganda press who's out here, I mean the messages and
clips and calls and that I feel it from people
were like I cannot stand you know, insert all of
the usual suspects. CNN was one of them. You know,

(09:57):
I can't stand the way that they're talking about this,
the way they're this the things that people actually believed
about the man that was completely untrue. It should never
be controversial in the United States of America for us
to have conversations.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, it's times like these where you see people's true character.
And you said, ABC News, was it David Muir?

Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, I'll find his name here in a second, but
he ended his his The Nightly newscast with we can
be brave, you know, we can be bold, but we
must be tolerant. And while yeah, it's and it's the truth,
but how many people you know woke up differently this

(10:36):
morning and it's not just a turning point, it's it
feels like a tipping point. Well, listen to our callers.
I twenty three year old. I feel like there's a
target on my back because I'm conservative, since I'm eighteen
voting Republican. There are others. What was our previous caller,
Kat saying, time to defriend them.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
But see, this is that they've created this whole new
religion around tolerance and all these other things. I don't
believe that we have to be tolerant, you know what,
We need to be tolerant of each other in our
differing opinions and our differing personalities and our differing politics.
But we don't have to be tolerant of every gd
ridiculous thing out there. And that's how they manipulate you. Well,

(11:20):
we need to show tolerance, No, we don't if somebody's
out there violent or just playing wrong and trying to
brainwash or twist the minds of our youth. And I
won't go into all the different you know, subjects that
we could argue over that everything from you know, from
having operations on trans operations on young children or anybody

(11:47):
under eighteen for that matter, to all of these other things.
We don't need to be tolerant of that. It's wrong
for us to be tolerant of that. So I totally
believe in being tolerant of people that you know, are
civil and tolerant of opposing views and tolerant of opposing personalities.

(12:09):
But you can't be. It's a liberal hogwash that they
sell you that it's just tolerance itself, just like diversity,
that it's just diversity itself or tolerance itself that makes
it great. No, it's not.
