Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello from South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Another day that we are waking up not a good day,
and another family is not going to have a great day.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
You know, Michael, I was in the army for twenty years.
I had a wall of hate that got me through it.
I shed it when I got out of the army.
Right now I'm struggling to hold the anger and the
hate at bay. I don't know what to do with it.
(00:30):
I don't know how to find forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Michael Dragon, You guys are right. We are fighting for
the soul of this country and I'm tired of the
wrong side seeming to always win. And when we get
our little victories of righteousness and faith in God spread again,
they want to silence it. Something's got to stop.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Good morning, Michael and Dragon. In my opinion, that Charlie
kirk assassination was a pro I don't think they'll ever
catch this guy. Charlie changed a lot of people's votes
into Conservatives. The guy was powerful, and they could have
taken this guy out anywhere, and they didn't publicly to
(01:19):
make an example of him. So I think we're all
in trouble with our republican democracy right now.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Charlie Kirk was a very amazing person. He was so
smart and could talk about just a variety of subjects
very eloquently and on his feet, similar to Rush Limbaugh
and Donald Trump. He was a unique person, so sad
(01:48):
that his life was cut short. He probably would have
been president one day. Sending love to his family.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
If conservatives decide to crawl up into a ball and
hide in their holes, fox holes, whatever holes, then the
progressives have won. Jesse Kelly stated quite clearly that the
communists are violent, we retreat, they win. Charlie Kirk wouldn't
(02:21):
want us to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
The differences between conservatives and liberals in events like Charlie
Kirk's assassination are just astounding. Yesterday you could see in
the crowd a video of a guy who was showing
how happy he was that Charlie Kirk got assassinated. The
posts online celebrating Charlie's death are horrific. We don't act
(02:47):
that way as conservatives. We don't celebrate someone being assassinated.
It's amazing to think twenty three years ago, many conservatives
would have run to CNN or MSNBC to get the
news about nine to eleven. Yet last year, with Trump's
attempted assassination or yesterday with Charlie Kirk assassination, those are
(03:11):
two stations I would never turn to. It was also
horrific that one of the anchors speculated that Charlie was
shot accidentally by a supporter yesterday. Ridiculous, Michael.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I think the deep state saw Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Is one of the biggest threats to the.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Democrat Party in decades, had a clean background, spotless, powerful
debate person, and just commanded it of a huge following.
So this was a professional hit that took this poor
man out.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Hello, Michael, I'm not sure that people are saying this
was a professional hit. It was four hundred and fifty five,
which is one hundred and fifty yards, and I've heard
that it was the thirty six, and from the video,
the violence looked like the type of bullet like of
(04:12):
a thirty six would do as a hunter.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Michael let the news break, they mentioned that Charlie Kirk
was supposed to be coming to see you on his
tour and that they had put a petition together to
not let him in see you as afraid of freedom
of speech and the strong power of the word.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
If supporting the basic concepts of America, like liberty and freedom,
makes us Christian nationalists just like Charlie Kirk. Then fine,
I'm a Christian nationalist. I'm really getting sick and tired
of this globalist, progressive, communist, Marxist leftist trying to be
(04:59):
the real advocates of freedom. They're not.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
There are a lot of great tributes on X for
Charlie Kirk. A few of the notable ones would be
Donald Trump Junior, JD Vance, and Benny Johnson. You get
to see a side of Charlie that we never saw
as the average person. JD Vance was pretty amazing about
(05:24):
how Charlie reached out to him after an event, helped
him when he decided to run for a sender. Just
check it out, Brownie.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
I watched two people slump over and die this week
on the internets. I'm mad as hell. It's time we
fight back.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
This is a war.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
No laugh today, Michael.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Though Charlie Kirk was a Rush baby, there is no
doubt that he was actually this younger generation's rushling ball.
He was just as effective as a communicator as Rush
was to my generation, which will be closer to your generation.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Brownie.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I remember back when Rush was still here, people would
ask him is it time to worry yet? And he
would say, I'll tell you when it's time to worry.
And I have to wonder this.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Morning, what would he be saying today?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And you know, I think I know what he would say.
Have a good day.
Speaker 9 (06:28):
Hey, Michael, I'm just trying to process what happened to
Charlie yesterday, and it really occurs to me that this
assassination is not about silencing Charlie's message so much as
it is about trying to keep people of opposing viewpoints
from understanding it's okay to come together and disagree and
talk and hear each other out and understand that it's
(06:52):
okay to hold these opposing viewpoints and live together.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Hey Michael Brown, dude, you got to watch the video. Man,
he did not have a vest on.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
He had a very thin white.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
T shirt on.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Michael, I agree the public schools are pretty much not
teaching kids how to live life. They don't teach in
the basics my book, both of my kids took AP classes,
honor kids, super high SAT scores, and basically have a
worthless high school degree.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
My theory is this was an act of this shooter
a professional look, go for center mass, hard lung shot
with thirty six. That's a kill shot and you would
need plate armor to stop it. A head shot is symbolic,
and I think he probably flinched and pulled the shot low.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Hey, remember conservatives out there, stay docile, don't do anything,
never fight back, and do what you're told.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Zero two seven seven. Here. The scory of FedEx is
in a book called Overnight Success. There were two books
written about Fred Smith. It was a tough time. It
started out a little differently than what Michael knows as
a twenty nine year employee of FedEx when it was
(08:13):
called Federal Express and was just an airline.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Thank you much, Hey, Michael, I understand that the Communists
want to silence descent. I get that, But can you
point out in the Communist manifesto exactly where they say
that descent must be stopped or stifled? Inquiring minds do
(08:43):
and need to know.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Michael, you know what I wish. I wish America could
get back to the America that we were on nine
to twelve, when everyone joined together and stood behind the
American flag and took pride in Americans.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Michael, my question is do you have any condolences for
people that actually practice Marxism, Communism and want to pretty
much destroy the American way I don't actually, so when
a guy like Bernie or Moron Zivani or whatever his
(09:22):
name from New York, when they pass away, I'm just
going to rejoice because they're trying to kill the American
way of life.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
One thing that this gunman did is made Charlie Kirk
a martyr, and people do not forget the martyrs. This
will fume and also lead to the destruction of the
Democratic Party.
