Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Brian mud Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's the info you need to start your day in
the Bomb Beaches and the Treasure Coast. So I've got
a week as we have had the assassination of Charlie
Kirk and the twenty fourth anniversary of nine to eleven,
a lot that's been going on geopolitically as well. A
man who has spent a lot of time with the
(00:28):
President historically, but also even this week covering it all.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
John Decker joining us now.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you, Brian. I
hope you're doing well today. I hope you're having a
nice Friday. And it has been quite a week.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I agree, heavy for sure, So you know, kind of
walk us through what's going on here. Obviously, the President
and Vice President very involved in the situation with Charlie Kirk,
his family.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well, that's right, the President is so close with Charlie Kirk,
his entire family. Over the course of the past decade,
all of the work that Turning Point USA had done
on behalf of the President and this year in particular,
on behalf of his policies advocating for them, and the
President I think you know what was and has been
and continues to be really affected by the assassination of
(01:19):
Charlie Kirk. I think it brings back memories of the
near miss on his own life last summer. And I
have noticed a change certainly in the mood at the
White House since Wednesday. There's a pall that's over the
White House right now. And the reason for that, Brian,
is because so many of the young White House staffers
(01:39):
knew Charlie Kirk very well. They work closely with him
during the campaign, and they felt a connection to him.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, you take a look at things from a generational perspective.
One of the comparisons I was making, you know, for
a certain generation of conservatives and happens to be you
know mine, you had Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh. And
I think for younger generations you have Charlie Kirk, who
kind of is that person to them, and maybe to
(02:08):
a certain extent as well, Trump being that Reagan type.
And so I think there are a lot of similarities
that way, and in terms of the laws, the way
that a lot of people are dealing with Rush, for example,
and younger people dealing with Kirk.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
That's right. I mean, I think the President said it
very well yesterday, the connection, but even at thirty one
years old, the connection that he had two young people,
that he maintained with young people, and you saw it
with that huge crowd that turned out to see him
at that college in Utah on Wednesday. And of course
(02:43):
you saw at any time that he traveled around the
country visiting colleges, visiting universities, visiting high schools and churches
as well. And of course it's pretty remarkable what he
was able to do in his short life, building up
his organization from nothing at the age of eighteen to
where it is today.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, no kidding, the national radio host, top podcaster. You
had him contributing to you know, news networks across the
spectrum digitally and on TV. Any one of those things
at that level is a good career. And he had
done it all by thirty one. And so as we
take a look at the you know, the the latest,
the FBI, the manhunt that's on, hearing anything new this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, unfortunately, no, I say unfortunately, because this person remains
at large, This individual, this evil person that killed Charlie Kirk,
has a head start, so to speak, of thirty six
hours on law enforcement and you know, when you talk
about that kind of I had start, you're talking about
(03:48):
a disadvantage that law enforcement has. Now they've released, as
you know, detailed photographs of this suspect, the person that
they are seeking, and hopefully, you know, that person makes
a mistake and the public recognizes him and they soon
notify law enforcement and he's apprehended.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Meanwhile, you started the week with the President at the
US Open and the President Yankee Stadium last night for
nine to eleven, did you kind of walk us through this?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well, that's right, and you know, in just a few
weeks he'll be back up in New York for a
speech that he'll deliver at the UN General Assembly. So
the President back to the place where it all began,
New York City. And you know, as it relates to
the US Open, I was there for when the President attended.
Last time he attended was about a decade ago. A
(04:39):
mixed reaction that he received. You know, there were some booze,
but there were some cheers, you know, and you know,
I think that that's essentially the way the president is
viewed around the country. You know, half the country loves him,
loves his policies, and half the country doesn't. So the
President enjoyed himself. He brought a lot of White House
staff with him up to New York to watch the
(05:00):
finals of the men's Championship, and then back up to
New York last night to watch the New York Yankees
beat the Detroit Tigers. And so I think that the
President enjoys this homecoming of sorts, going back to the
city where his career all began and where he launched
his run for the White House way back in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I hope you have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
John's been a heavy week, and I appreciate you taking
the time with us today.
Speaker 3 (05:27):

on your show. And yeah, we'll talk next week for sure,
