Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
First, Peter three point fifteen says, but in your heart's honor, Christ,
the Lord is holy. Always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for
the hope that is in you, yet do it with
gentleness and respect. That is the perfect way to start

(00:33):
this show. Had to clear the tears out of my
eyes to read the scripture. We're going to do a
radio show today, Dislike always. We'll update you on the

(00:55):
hunt for an assassin. I think they know who he is.
They're asking for help identifying, but I think they know
exactly who it is. We'll talk about all that and
much more. We'll take some calls, going to ask you

(01:19):
to be a source of inspiration, and then, of course,
in the third hour, get it off your chest. It'll
be what's the bee Friday? Thse's here, I'm here, you're here,
We're together. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
There is something comforting about just kind of doing what
we do, the consistency of just hey, let's talk a
little history, reflect on a few stories that are outside
the norm, get into the news, expand on things a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Have it out of chat. Shall we say it is
September the twelfth, seventeen eighty two, Betty Zain runs for
more gunpowder during the Siege of Fort Henry. It is
an amazing story. If you don't know the story, look
it up. Betty Zain. Eighteen fifty seven, the SS Central

(02:33):
America sinks in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Loss of four hundred lives and a fortune in gold
from California. What in eighteen fifty seven, How could there
be a hurricane of that magnitude. That's just not possible. Yeah.

(02:56):
Would We weren't industrialized, We hadn't ruined the environment, We
hadn't bogus that didn't happen. Didn't happen. Nineteen eighteen, in France,
US Fortunes Forces launched the first major offensive from the

(03:21):
US and World War One TV series Lassie premiered on
this day in nineteen fifty four. There are some of
you that remember that show I'm So Bad at Whistling.

(03:43):
That dog was so cool. They were like forty lasses
or something like that, And it was on this date.
In twenty twenty four, Polaris Dawn Jared Isaacman and Sarah
Gillis the first private SpaceX they got out of the spacecraft.

(04:04):
First time ever a private company did it. It's on
this date, a year ago. What else do we have here?
It is this a big day? It is National Day
of Encouragement. Just a little, a little pick me up,

(04:28):
encourage somebody today. I'm going to try to do that
for you. I'm going to try and encourage some of
you to keep your cool, Encourage others to get off
the bench, Encourage maybe one or two of you. Pipe it.
National Hug and high five Day, National just one human

(04:50):
family day. Can't we all just get along? No, no
we can't. There are people that on not being part
of the human race and act like animals, not saying
that you not grant them the opportunity to change. I'm

(05:14):
just saying, understand that. Understand that it is National Report
Medicare Fraud Day. How about copy and paste that for
every single day of the year. And National Video Games Day.

(05:34):
Jose's over there going, oh really like he needs an
excuse to play video games? And today is National Chocolate
Milkshake Day. Okay, where's the best chocolate milkshaken to be found?

(05:54):
I mean, and I'm not necessarily saying a malted chocolate milkshake.
I'm not a fan of that as much. I'll do it,
but like, where's the best milkshake? Just a good old
fashioned milkshake, not one of those weird exotic ones have
cookies sticking all over it and you know, fudge lining

(06:15):
the rim where you get it all over your face.
When you just a good chocolate milkshake. Is it Steak
and Shake? Is it Chick fil A? Is it McDonald's.
I mean, you be surprised that there are certain places
that you would not think of our go tos. Feel
free to send me a note if you know of
the best place to get a chocolate milkshake. Preston at

(06:37):
iHeartRadio dot com eighteen past the hour. Yes, I know,
I know, I know. I'll catch up, trust me. David

(07:00):
tells me the best chocolate milkshake he's ever had was
at Ed's in Defuniac Springs. Thanks Dave, I know just
where to go when I'm in Defuniac Springs. No, seriously,

(07:21):
thanks for the heads up. I just don't go there.
I need to know of a great place to get
a chocolate milkshake in Florida's capital, and it could be
just some restaurant that just says, yeah, we do some
shakes on the side type thing. Did you know that

(07:42):
the uh Seala camp a fish species that was believed
to be extinct for okay, sixty five to sixty six
million years, until one was caught off the coast of
South Africa in nineteen thirty eight. And now they know

(08:06):
that they are off some islands off the east coast
of Africa and the waters off of Indonesia, so they
weren't gone all this time. They say that the fish
goes back to the era of the dinosaurs, just saying

(08:26):
settled science. This came from not the Bee courtesy of Fox.
Archaeologists find a Roman council building with Christian symbols in
the walls in the ancient city of Ladicea. Isn't that fascinating.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Now?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Of course that that church is described in the Book
of Revelation is lukewarm as spit you out of my
mouth type stuff, because you're not either you're not hot,
you're not cold. You're lukewarm, you know. And I frankly
think that the ladies in church is emblematic of a

(09:16):
lot of churches across the country in America. But Paul
wrote about the Ladista in Church ever so briefly in Colossians.
It's just interesting this is in Turkey, modern day Turkey.
It just shows first that this is from the era,

(09:42):
the time of Christ, and that the Roman Church eventually
embraced Christianity for a time period. And it's fascinating to
see this collision of Christian culture in and amongst the
Greek and Roman cultulture after the Resurrection of Christ. It's

(10:03):
all colliding in this region of the world. I just
thought that was fascinating today. In the program next we
will update you the latest information on the efforts to

(10:23):
find the man. Yes, a man. He thinks he's a woman.
I'm betting. I'm betting, and I'm also betting they know
exactly who it is. I think the I think the

(10:43):
FBI has to really work hard to not make this
look like there was not a bigger conspiracy here. They're
going to have to track this guy down really quickly.
I'll give you the latest information and then a little
conjecture next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott

(11:07):
Prince in a positive way improve the lives of others.
That's what this show is about. And this is the
Preston Scott Show.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Ah, We're going to do exactly what I think.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Needs to be done. We're going to get back to
our business here next hour, and I want you to
think about this for a little while. That, by the way,
is an expression Charlie Kirk would use frequently when talking

(11:52):
to somebody who disagreed with him. If they were willing
to have a discussion with him, it would get to
a point where he would say, let me say one thing,
and I'm gonna ask you to think about it for
the next few days. I'll stop there, and so I'm

(12:16):
just gonna ask you to think about this for a
half hour. I want you to phone in and tell
me if you like right, you know, Preston at iHeartRadio
dot com. I want you to share with me what
you think Turning Point USA needs to do in response

(12:38):
to this. We'll talk more about that in just a
little while. I think there needs to be a response absolutely.
The update right now, the FBI has photos of the
person I they're being kind person of interest. It's the shooter.

(13:02):
They have released the video. It's on our website. It's
all over of the guy after having taken the shot.
They have him in the prone position, just university. You know,
cameras and and here hindsight, big event, controversial figure. Should

(13:28):
maybe somebody have been watching that video those cameras in
real time and a command center somewhere. Do they have
a place where all those feeds are located. Yes, they
probably do. Couldn't they have had somebody there saying, hey,
we've got a guy on the roof hold hold the event. Ah. Anyway,

(13:50):
they've got him running off the off the rooftop, jumping down.
He hurt himself a little bit. Then they have they
have found the right rifle. It's a mouser. It's an
older mouser thirty out six. I heard the gunshot from
a different from a camera that was a phone that
was much closer to the gunshot. Yeah, that was a

(14:11):
hunting rifle. I believe they know who it is, and
I do believe it's connected to the photos that are
circulating of somebody that guaranteed something was going to happen,

(14:32):
a person that is, you know, the internet sleuths have
found had posted a song on SoundCloud that they wrote made.
Charlie Kirk is dead at thirty one. The FBI getting

(14:55):
some pressure about a jet, a private jet that took
all off just five miles from the assassination at an
airport that was ten fifteen minutes away. That jet flew
south into Arizona. It switched off its transponder for a

(15:15):
short period of time before flipping it back on on
the return flight. That is an FAA violation. My thought
is that this is not a government conspiracy. The government
under Donald Trump has no reason, though I do believe

(15:37):
there are rogue elements inside of our government that I
believe played a role in the attempted assassination of Trump.
But having said that, I believe that there is likely
going to be one, two three, a group that aided
and embedded this shooter. This shooter was one, but I

(16:01):
believe he probably had a car waiting, he probably had
that jet waiting, he probably had someone waiting wherever that
jet landed, and he's probably being hidden by a group
of people. That's my guess. That's the conjecture I said

(16:23):
I would share with you. Besides the photos that are
out there that are crystal clear, this guy will be found.
They do have some some palm prints, They likely will
get some DNA. Marsha Blackburn, pointing out that a member

(16:43):
of the Secret Service posted on x if you are
mourning this guy, delete me. He spewed hate and racism.
You can't circumvent karma. She doesn't leave. This is a
Secret Service agent. Any Secret Service agent that thinks that
way is out of a job. Gone that they know

(17:06):
who it is they need. This agent needs to be fired.
Letters been sent by Senator Marsha Blackburn calling for the
termination of this agent. More on that basic mindset as
we go through the show. Forty one minutes past the hour,
There you go, caught up on the latest There the

(17:26):
Morning Show at Preston Scott On news radio one hundred
point seven WFLA. Some sorry or some Columbia students have

(17:47):
done what some on the illiberal left are doing, celebrating
the killing of Charlie Kirk, turning the assassination into a
punch line. They have a setier newspaper, The Federalist. The headline,
Turning Point USA undergoes unexpected ideological shift, State's Second Amendment

(18:12):
actually not that important anymore. It went on to write
some pretty vile stuff and at the end of it
concluded in typical conservative fashion, it seems Turning Point USA
only realizes how terrible their politics are when it bleeps
with their own lives. Go figure, could they be more
misguided and mistaken? And this is the tragedy of where

(18:35):
we are today. There is a group and I'm gonna
call credit where credit is due. And maybe they're just
trying to save face. I don't know. First there's an
effort right now to draw false draw false equivalences. No,

(18:57):
it's not on both sides. It is. The hate rhetoric
is not on both sides. The Trump is a Nazi.
Charlie Kirk is a Nazi. They're fascist. They know that that. No, No,
we we correctly point out what fascism is. We point out,

(19:23):
as I've said repeatedly, where Trump crosses a line when
embracing socialist ideas, which he has done now twice. But
that would that would endear Trump to them. Trump is
an outsider. Republicans and Democrats that are elected largely hate him.

(19:44):
This is a marriage of convenience for the Republicans. I
don't like the guy. This is a group of people.
Let me let me back up for a second. The view.
The ladies on the view actually actually in unison all

(20:11):
condemned what took place. Now they're not stepping back and
maybe coming to grips with the fact that their rhetoric
contributed to the mindset that has been cultivated in some
of these people. But I'm grateful that there are some

(20:32):
on the left that are saying, no, this is ridiculous.
They acknowledged Charlie Kirk engaged people in conversation, whether you
agreed with him or not, and he said, that's okay,
let's talk, because when you can't talk, you dehumanize the

(20:55):
other side, and that's what the other side has done.
Conservatives aren't doing that now. I will tell you there
is a group inside the conservative movement that is about
over it. They're about done. These little children at Columbia

(21:20):
and others like them, various places online celebrating this action.
We cannot allow that to be normalized in our society.
So here's my advice to you. First and foremost, be

(21:41):
christ Like in all your actions, in all of your words.
Be wise. You know, there's a scripture that says be gentle,
whise is the serpent gentle as doves understand and that
there is a group of people in this country that

(22:05):
hate us and they want us dead. Understand that. So
you have to look at each and every situation and
circumstance through a different set of lenses. These days, you

(22:26):
just do. And so my suggestion to you is, let's
let's be very smart about how we proceed. That's part
of what the next segment is going to be about.
Forty eight minutes after the hour, not the next segment,

(22:47):
the segment after that. The next segment will prepare you
for the You get the idea, WUFLA. I had more
than a few email on this subject, and I'm still

(23:08):
getting plenty, radius, wrote me my current Facebook status. Go ahead, laugh, giggle,
post memes mock the death of Charlie Kirk. It is
absolutely your right as an American citizen. However, please understand
that the freedom of speech that is guaranteed in our
Constitution does not guarantee freedom from repercussions from the stupid

(23:30):
stuff you said. Nowhere in the Constitution is that right enumerated.
Understand that you also don't have a right to employment.
So with that in mind, I'm going to make it
my mission to make sure your employer knows what kind
of heartless monster they have working for them. I'm not
doing this out of malicious hatred, but just indifferent stoicism

(23:52):
and sharing of the truth, the truth that your side
is more than happy to silence. Remember, the Internet is forever.
Kind of like that tramp stamp you got in Panama
City back in the spring break of nineteen ninety three.
That'll work. That'll work. Let people know who thinks what.

(24:18):
But I will also tell you this. I got a
few emails saying I didn't know a lot about Turning
Point USA until this happened. I am now a donor.
That's one answer. Donate just a little bit every month.

(24:41):
If the people that have not supported Turning Point up
to now just wasn't on your radar. If everybody gave
twenty five dollars a month that didn't know about it
and had and have been affected by this, their budget
would blow up and they would be positioned to do

(25:02):
more than ever. And that's what you know, I thought
to myself. And I know this sounds a little come
on now, Preston. He's thirty one years old, Yeah, thirty
one years old, a husband and a father of two,
who literally went from one campus to another to another

(25:24):
to just talk. And they killed him for it. And
I say they because this is a movement. I personally
think it's going to be tied to the transgender movement
because he brilliantly articulated the arguments and asked the question
what is a woman? He emboldened people, he gave people

(25:53):
rational thought to share. I believe this is what Charlie
would want us to ask. What's next for Turning Point USA?
What do you think Turning Point USA needs to do
in response to this horrific act. We're gonna take your
calls eight five zero two zero five WFLA. That's all

(26:15):
we're talking about. Nothing else. Eight five zero two zero
five WFLA. Get in line, call me with your ideas.
What's next? Welcome friends to the second hour of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott and I am taking your

(26:35):
phone calls, and I've asked you to put your thinking
caps on. And the challenge is very simple. What do
you think would be the proper appropriate response by Turning
Point USA to what has happened? I would love to

(26:58):
hear your idea. That's what this is about ideas. I
have a statement here from Turning Point USA that is powerful,
but I can almost assure you their board of director's

(27:19):
advisory board. I don't know how they were totally constructed.
This thing was birthed in Charlie's garage when he was
eighteen years of age. But I can all but guarantee
you they are right now praying and seeking wisdom for

(27:44):
what is the appropriate response. The effort here was to
shut it down because Charlie was such a visible, vocal
focal point for turning Point USA. The Shooter's idea is, well,

(28:08):
that ends that I think amongst you are good ideas,
better ideas than what I have. I'll share mine, but
I would rather hear yours. I've got every day Monday

(28:32):
through Friday to share mine. I can just stop the
show and say I'm going to talk about it right now.
I can do what I want when I want. I'm
asking you to not just go through the exercise, which,
by the way, I've done when I decided, I told

(28:55):
you yesterday I was going to pray about what I
was going to do today. And I sat in my
office yesterday. I finished the show. Yesterday, I went on
a drive, found a driving range, and I beat up
some golf balls for a while, not in anger, just
to just be out surrounded by nobody. There was nobody around,

(29:21):
and I just spent some time, and then I got
home to my office, gave my wife a kiss, and
I started to think about and pray about what should
we do today on the show. I decided to do

(29:42):
the show to get back to what we do, to
not be somber. All morning long, I was somber. I
still am. I'm like a lot of us. I'm grieving,
but we grieve differently. We grieve with hope. And I
asked myself the question, what would Charlie want done? I

(30:07):
guarantee you turning point USA is wanting that answer. They
are asking that question, what would Charlie want us to do?
I would imagine at some point Erica, his wife, his widow,
is going to weigh in on here's what Charlie would want.

(30:28):
I'm asking you what should the response be? Now, I
have my idea. We've got a series of them, but
I want yours. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA
is the phone number. We're gonna get to your calls
here in just a second. We've got one caller standing by.
I'd love a bunch of them. I refuse to believe

(30:51):
that you cannot be inspired to come up with suggestions
on what the response ought to be to this a response,
not a reaction of response, a thoughtful, forceful, loud response.

(31:11):
Ten past the hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston
Scott eight five zero two zero five WFLA. One caller
has turned in sin too, and that's how it works.

(31:32):
I'd like to see two callers turn into four eight
five zero two zero five WFLA. If you are among those.
And I don't expect there to be any in this audience,
but if you happen to be or know of people
celebrating or saying things like, well, you know, Charlee, uh huh,

(31:53):
shun them, shun them, Tim, thanks for calling in. Should
Turning Point USA do.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Good morning? I think they are going to have to
quickly find somebody to become the image of Turning Point
to replace Charlie. It has to be somebody that can
articulate like he did, not just get into debates and
argue and throw out all kinds of sayings. He I mean,

(32:23):
he believed in what he said, and he could he
could sit when he could invite people to talk to
him and argue with him and give their point, and
he was very effective at that. And it's going to
be difficult to find somebody that, But I think they
need somebody as quickly as possible that can continue putting
the message out there.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Tim, thank you. I appreciate that. That's exactly what I'm
looking for. Ben Shapiro said he's thinking of getting back
at getting onto college campuses. I will tell you right now,
as much as I respect and admire Ben, Ben doesn't
know Jesus as his Lord and savior. To my knowledge,
he does not acknowledge Christ as his Lord and savior.
He is a Jew, and that's fine, there's nothing wrong

(33:05):
with that. But I believe the person filling that role
has to be a Jesus Christ apologist, someone who knows
the gospel message, because that is woven through everything that
Charlie believed, every part of Turning Point USA. Let's go
to Patricia. Thanks for calling in.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Patricia, Hey, Christin, I couldn't agree with you and the
prayer caller more. I do think they need to get
somebody in there. I do think it needs to be
exactly the type of person we're talking about, but my
thought is that's going to take a little while. I
think they need to go with this momentum. I too,
am now a donor to Turning Point USA. I didn't

(33:44):
really know a lot about it until all this happened,
and I think they need to go with the momentum.
I think they need to go have big rallies, big
big rallies like what Trump did his first time out.
I went to some of those rallies and they were
so inspiring, and you know, everybody was really excited. And

(34:05):
they could get a lot of really good speakers and
have big rallies to get all of us, not just
college students, all of us supporting them and behind them
so people can see what good it is.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
I like it. Patricia. Thank you, you're kind of going
down the direction I'm thinking only I have more specifics
in mind. I'm going to get to those, but I
want to hear from you. What should Turning Point USA do?
Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA, George.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Good morning pressing. First of all, I think you made
the one hundred percent of right decision on the direction
of the show this morning.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
I'm glad you did that. But I think the Turning
Point needs to go on a full out blitz. Yes,
and I mean just like eleven man blitz that the
Packers used to run back in the day, and I'm mean,
and what I would do is my response statement. I

(35:05):
would say, y'all assassinated Charlie Kirk not because he spoke,
but because the young people listened and they voted accordingly.
And you have just woken up tens of millions of
young voters. And and that's what I feel. They didn't kill
him because he spoke. He they killed him because so

(35:28):
many young people listened and responded.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's a well put statement and sentiment. Georgia, as always,
thanks very much for the phone call. Let's go to Dodge, Dodge,
what do you think?

Speaker 7 (35:38):
Yeah, so, you know, I really think tourney Point needs
to take a play out of the playbook of the Left.
And let's say they raise a couple hundred million dollars
two undred million bucks. Because of everybody you know is
at event doing that, they need to go and earmark
about two million dollars per College's just pick a Hunter

(36:00):
colleges and build a building with the two million called
the Charlie Kirk School of Civil Discourse, and let that
be a permanent monument so all these little snibbling brats
can actually learn how to talk to each other.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Wow. On campus if permitted, because a lot of universities
wouldn't do it, or near campus.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
No, you donate to the campus ear marking. This money
will be used to build a building. The Left does
it all the time. Here's two million bucks. You got
to build a building and name it after Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, I hear you. I like the kernel of the idea.
My concern is there are too many university presidents and
boards of trustees that would that would not accept the gift.
They wouldn't accept the ear marked designated gift in that fashion. Jason,
Danny Sean, you're up next eight five zero two zero

(36:59):
five to b FLA will take more. One more segment
of calls. What should Turning Point USA do next? What
should they do next? Here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. If you are not letting me down, well done,

(37:23):
keep coming strong ideas. What should Turning Point USA be
doing in response to what happened? What should their next
act be? What should they move towards? We're getting some
wonderful ideas, Jason, thanks for calling in.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
Good morning Preston.

Speaker 9 (37:43):
I think that they should take the move out of
the rush Limbo playbook, Big Shoes to fill. It's like Rush,
how they have Clay and Buck definitely needs to be
christ based. But I think go with.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Your phone dropped, Jason, you there? Okay, sorry, yeah, your
phone dropped there for a second.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Go ahead, Yeah, So use what works.

Speaker 10 (38:14):
When Rush went to be Home with Jesus clam Buck
had to fill those shoes, and that playbook design is working,
and I think that they could learn something from that
and get with the Rush crew and see what they
did to fill issues.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Okay, thank you, Jason, I appreciate it. I'm not sure
I share your thought that it worked. I don't think
Clay and Buck is successful. It's to me a placeholder,
but I get your point. But thank you very much.
This is all about ideas here. We're going to take

(38:51):
three more callers. Danny, you're up. What's your thought?

Speaker 11 (38:57):
Yeah, good morning President.

Speaker 12 (38:58):
You know.

Speaker 11 (38:59):
My thought is I don't think one singular individual is
appropriate in terms of replacement, because I don't think you're
going to replace Charlie in any any former fashion. I
think it's going to take a coalition of individuals that
are going to need to step up, share his ideals
and have his his given ability to communicate and articulate,

(39:21):
and you know, I don't. I don't see a single
individual filling that role in the way that Charlie did.
That's just kind of my thoughts on the on the
on the subject.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Danny, thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in. Let's
go to Sean Sean Europe.

Speaker 13 (39:37):
Good morning, and I'm going to try and articulate this
is the best I can. I think that I agree
with the last caller. We don't necessarily or we're not
going to be able to replace Charlie, but we could
take the leadership of the organization now, and I feel
like large events would be great, and I think events

(39:57):
close to campuses where we couldn't corporate our younger children
and not just our college children because and I know
some of the conversations that these events get a little bit,
you know, heavy for these younger kids. But my youngest
son and my oldest son, I would go to an
event and not only would it help these children, it

(40:18):
would include these parents. So these parents are involved in
helping and understanding their children as well.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Okay, Sean, thank you. I appreciate you calling in and
sharing your ideas. Jeffrey, you are the final caller here.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
What do you think, opression.

Speaker 14 (40:33):
I think they should continue the term. I mean, this
was the first stop for Charlie's new tour of the
college campuses. There are already speakers lined up. Continue with
that program and bring in other selected speakers to well,

(40:56):
nobody's going to replace Charlie, but you know, to fill
that primary Robic, continue with what was already in place,
keep that presence on campus, keep the people coming, and
let all the guests that we're going to come do
their speaking, and just use different different individuals to fill

(41:21):
in where Charlie would have been.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Thank you very much, Jeffery, appreciate the phone call. I
need more time. So here's what we're gonna do. We're
gonna take a break. I'm gonna give you the latest
information on the search for his assassin, and then I'm
gonna share what I think I would recommend Turning Point

(41:47):
USA do. And I'm gonna borrow from some of you,
maybe enhance it or add to it, or maybe take
a little bit away. But I have my own lot
of thoughts on this. I've given this great thought. That's
what led me to this segment. Yesterday's just praying about Okay.

(42:09):
The goal was to shut this down. The goal, by
the way, could be realized in part by universities saying
we're not going to take on the risk and the
liability of having something like this happen at our school.
The problem is going to be they're going to have
to shut down every public speaker. So I don't know

(42:30):
that universities are going to do that. So we'll see. Well,
I'm gonna share my ideas next here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott after an update on the tracking
of the assassin. Thirty six minutes past the hour of

(42:57):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott update on the hunt
for the killer. There's some interesting little anomalies here. One,
there is a private plane that flew from a very
close airport, flew south into Arizona, switched off its transponder
partially through the flight, that turned it back on after

(43:19):
it had landed wherever it landed, and turned around and
flew back to Utah. That pilot needs to be talked
to right now. That's an FAA violation. Is there anything
to it. I don't know. They have video of the
shooter in the prone position. They likely have video of

(43:42):
him taking the shot. They have him running across the roof,
jumping down, and then getting away. The path that they
have him on video is where they found a thirty
out six an old mouser, and they should be able
to find something about where and how that gun traveled

(44:07):
and went around whoever owned it. That'll help. They've got
palm prints, they likely will be able to get DNA,
and they have a very good picture conjecture. On my part,
I believe they know who it is. I believe this

(44:30):
person had help. He did the shooting, and he's a transgender.
He is a guy who likes presenting himself as a woman,
and he cleaned himself up for the act. He dressed
in the patriot like shirt to not stand out. He

(44:59):
he looks very, very very very much like the person
that posted on his social media that something was going
to happen that day, posted that boy hope somebody vaporizes

(45:21):
Charlie Kirk and then posted that he guarantees something's going
to happen the next day. Whoever this is likely posted
on SoundCloud a song called Charlie Kirk will be Dead
Charlie Kirk dead at thirty one. I think we're going

(45:45):
to find that this is a continuation of the dangerous,
violent sect of transgenderism that is in this country. It's
not weeping this country. We'll find out. That's what I

(46:06):
think we will find though there is no doubting in
my mind that this person had helped getting away, that
he is being aided and abetted as we speak. There
may be efforts to smuggle him to Vietnam, because, after all,

(46:26):
we know from the Adelsen crime that they don't extradite
from Vietnam. If by some chance anybody listening knows anything,
one eight hundred call FBI. FBI is under some pressure.
We also know that inside the Department of Defense there

(46:48):
are members of the military that rejoiced over Charlie Kirk's killing.
Pete Hegsith, Secretary of Defense, said that will be rooted out.
Secret Service is being called out because a member of
the Secret Service posted thoughts on the killing suggesting that
anyone who's mourning Charlie Kirk don't be a friend of mine.

(47:10):
That person needs to be removed from Secret Service duty
because that person is not safe with national security clearances
and is not safe protecting the president in any way,
shape or form, shouldn't be doing it. There are clearly
people inside our government that hate Donald Trump, that hate

(47:33):
the Charlie Kirks of the world, that in fact hate
you and me. Now, when we come back, I'm going
to share what I think Turning Point USA ought to do,
what I think the response ought to be. That's next
forty one minutes past the hour, This Morning Show with
Preston Scott. What's the beef Friday still to come? Thanks

(47:57):
for joining us.

Speaker 15 (47:59):
It's the Morning with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Now Here's what I would do if I were a
Turning Point USA, after thoughtful deliberation and prayer. First of all,
will anybody emerge to be a singular leader as Charlie
Kirk was? Don't know. You know when you talk about

(48:42):
professional athletes, you hear things said like a generational talent,
they come along once a generation. I think Charlie Kirk
was that. I think Charlie Kirk was a generational talent
with gifts on loan from God. As Rush Limboy used

(49:03):
to say, only he would say talent on loan from God.
Charlie definitely was uniquely gifted. Now, having said that, the
first thing I would do is I would put a
pause on the tour, just a pause, and I would

(49:24):
schedule simultaneous events on every campus. You have a chapter.
Every school, you have a chapter. Maybe it's like the
National Day of Prayer, where you start at noon or
at three in the afternoon, or whatever that time was

(49:46):
that Charlie liked to do his events, and you do
a cascade of that through all the time zones across
the country. And here's what you do. You announced the
event and you edit together speeches that Charlie had given.
There's a prodigious amount of audio and video of Charlie

(50:12):
and you have him speaking, you share the very best
and you put it together in a one hour, one
and a half hour presentation, and you roll that tape
on every single campus with one singular message going through
every single campus. Maybe it's some of Charlie's debates. Maybe

(50:35):
it's some of Charlie's speeches. Maybe it's some of Charlie's
radio program or his TV appearances or interviews that he
did on podcasts. It doesn't matter. You lace it all
together and you present it. And then you have a
spokesman at each of these events that happened on one

(50:57):
day across the country, and you announce the tour resumes,
and as callers have said, you share that we will
have these guests at these locations, and you just do
what you do and keep pushing the envelope. If you

(51:21):
have someone that's able to engage in some of what
Charlie did, fine, If someone rises up to seize the
mantle of ministry that I believe it is fine, but
don't force that, but go at it again, keep going

(51:43):
as soon as possible. And then, to borrow from a listener,
raise money to build Charlie Kirk's Centers of Civil Engagement
on every college campus. You can build them on and
if they won't let it be on the campus, if
they won't commit to do doing that kind of program,
then build it next to the campus. Fundamental to all

(52:13):
of this is donate to Turning Point USA. I know,
from having been involved in fundraising for not just the
years I've done this program but most of my adult life,
recurring giving means more. Sure, a one hundred dollars gift

(52:37):
is awesome, but what means more is twenty five dollars
a month consistent, steady, recurring revenue. So I'm telling you
right now I will be giving every single month to
Turning Point Usa. I'm going to join many of you

(52:58):
that have already made that decision. I am going to
do that. That's my set of suggestions. Forty seven minutes
past the hour. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott,

(53:30):
fifty two passed the hour. The false equivalencies being drawn
that you know, both sides need to just tone it down.
I'm sorry, it's one sided. We debate ideas. The other
side's incapable of engaging in civil debate and when they

(53:53):
lose the argument, which is why this happened. I thought
George said it really well. This was done because students
were listening. There are always militant young people, always have been.

(54:15):
They don't know enough about life to have learned enough
to understand that their passions are misplaced. Although some, as
proven by the white illiberal Karens out there, don't ever
grow out of it. They keep wearing their birkenstocks and

(54:36):
acting foolish into adulthood. But the fact of the matter
is that this isn't on both sides. This political violence
is all originating from the extreme left, not all Democrats,
but Democrats have created the fertile ground that this has

(54:57):
been been grown in. Democrats have sown this seat. This
is not eye for an eye, you know, I know,
this is about recognizing exactly the lay of the land.

(55:23):
The place of dei dei is all racism, bigotry, prejudice,
favoritism at the exclusion, and it interesting dei inclusiveness, no exclusiveness.
And if you are a Democrat and you disagree, you

(55:47):
will find out in moments exactly what I'm saying, because
you will be outside looking in within minutes. That's why
the party, the Republican Party, has grown. There are countless
more that are just NPA's. They don't want to be
part of the Democrat Party or the Republican Party. I

(56:07):
get it. I prefer to say that I caucus with
the Republicans because I think they're I think for the
for a large part of the Republican Party apparatus, it's
a train wreck. But that said, there is absolutely no

(56:29):
doubting this. This violence, political violence, philosophical violence is all
originating on the left. How do I know, because they're
still standing. Because if people on our side wanted to
just act like them, they'd be done. But people on

(56:57):
our side, I pray, continue and you'd operate with restraint,
with wisdom again, you gotta protect yourself. But what's to
be Fridays next? Eight five zero two zero five. Oh wow,
the lines are full. That's next. All right, we're going

(57:45):
to begin here. But uh, President Donald Trump is speaking
live right now on Fox, and underneath they have a
graphic that says we have Kirk suspect in custody. Now.

(58:06):
Fox has gotten things like this wrong before. I watched
it just the other day during a press briefing on
the shooting. So I don't know yet. We will do
everything we can to try to nail this down and
find out for sure. But Fox is running with the

(58:30):
story that a suspect is in custody, so we'll see
if we find out more. I will stop the trains
and we'll do whatever we need to do to keep
you informed on what's going on. It is what's to
be Friday, though. It is your chance to get some

(58:50):
things off your chest. I have a feeling, but this
is your time. But now listen to me. We have
young people listening. Keep it on the rails. No profanity,
don't make it personal. Do you have a bad experience somewhere,
tell us what happened, Leave names out of it, and

(59:12):
let's go to the phone lines. Joel, thanks for calling in.
What's the beef?

Speaker 8 (59:16):
Good morning, Preston. Preston. My beef is the Democrat House
who apparently couldn't give one minute of silence Charlie Kirk,
which I found unbelievable. Imagine that there is some Democrat
operative has been assassinated and there were Republicans refused one

(59:37):
minute in the House of silence. You know, I can't imagine.
I can't imagine that. I think the Democrat Party is
truly the violent party, is the party of crudeness, and
anybody who has any civilized nature, she's considered just leaving
the Democrat Party. You may not join the Republican Party,
that's fine, yep. But the Democrat Party needs to be left,

(59:59):
it needs to rot, and it needs to be reborn.
And that's just my comment.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Thank you, Joel. I think that's what makes the importance
of raising our rhetoric and raising our conduct so important
to make the distinction ever clearer. Eight five zero two
zero five to WFLA George, thanks for calling. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
Preston. My beef is kind of a two headed. First,
you had mentioned you think that Buck and Clay are
not successful.

Speaker 8 (01:00:35):
I agree.

Speaker 6 (01:00:36):
I don't think they're successful at all. It's always hard
to follow the man. Just like in sports or football,
you don't want to be the guy to follow the legend.
You want to be the guy that follows that guy.
But yeah, yesterday on Clay and Buck, they had Bill O'Reilly,
who I like, and I think he's well informed and
I think he's objective. But I lost a lot of

(01:00:58):
respect for him. Yesterday had him on for a whole
entire segment, nine minutes, I believe, and he did nothing
but become a Carnival barker hawking his book. And after
I didn't count the first probably six seven times that
he mentioned the name of the book during this interview

(01:01:18):
because they wanted to get his take on what happened
with Charlie Kirk and this, and he tied it into
the title of his book. I counted twenty seven times
he mentioned the name of that book in that interview,
and that's not counting the first few. And I just
thought that was the wrong atmosphere of the wrong place.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
That's not reading the room.

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
No, he sounded like a cheap, cheap Carnival barker, and
I just not like that at all, President.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Thank you, George. It is one of the reasons why
I've never been a fan of Bill O'Reilly respect the intellect,
just not a fan. That's just not my style. But
thank you. We're going to go to let's see we
got We've got Richard, We've got Craig. What about you?
Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. We have one

(01:02:06):
line opening. It could be yours, but call now eight
five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. What's

(01:02:27):
the meet Friday? Back at it here on the Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Let's go to Tim, who is
standing by.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Hello, Tim, good morning. My beef is with the City
of Tallahassee. Okay, I think it's ridiculous that they will
not spend the money to put turn signals on all
the police cars.

Speaker 14 (01:02:48):
I just.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
So I see so subtly done ring.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Left right all over and never use their turn signals,
so they must not have them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Oh so well delivered, Tim, that's so I love that
level of sarcasm. That is just brilliant. Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that in more ways than you know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Let's go to Richard Euroup. What's the beef.

Speaker 12 (01:03:14):
Oh, mister scock, good morning morning. You know, my wife
and I had a good fortune to go to Charlie's
ut here at FSU earlier. This frames beautiful day, thousands
of kids, great opportunity, you know, it was great, and
they had the buttons on the table, you know, you know,

(01:03:34):
turning for the USA. Stop a little slogans and I've
been wearing that sucker. And so what I would like
to encourage anybody who went to that and got a button,
stop wearing those buttons and just go around and just
show your support.

Speaker 6 (01:03:47):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
I love it? I love it, Thank you very much.
I'm trying to hear. How about we do this? My
beef is that people that went to that event, they
ought to be wearing those buttons all over the place,
and I haven't seen enough of them yet. How about that?

Speaker 12 (01:04:02):
How about that?

Speaker 8 (01:04:03):
I love it?

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Yeh see, we got to turn it into a beef somehow.
It's a brilliant idea, but we just have to We
have to rough it up just a little bit and
turning it it turn it into an idea. But you
know what, you have perfectly led me to my latest
blog entry I found from Turning Point USA an edited
down version of Charlie's visit to Florida State University. It

(01:04:28):
is on my blog page about seventeen eighteen minutes something
like that of just Charlie interacting. Check it out his
visit to Florida State University back in February. I think
it was February twenty eighth. It's on my blog page. Mark,
thanks for calling what's the beef?

Speaker 16 (01:04:49):
Well, my beef is this Charlie response of people that
are obviously soulless, have no idea what America's about, and
act that they are celebrating the death of somebody with
a difference of opinion, an influencer. Everybody has that chance
in this country to take their convictions and beliefs and

(01:05:12):
do that. But people don't understand. Freedom of speech was
created to protect speech that could be offensive to others
without the threat of death or harm, of course, but
my replacement for Charlie is threefold. It's a white man
as close as possible to Charlie's convictions and speaking skills.

(01:05:33):
It's a conservative black man and a converted back trends
of faith. Each will have a specific presentation. Also a
Q and a session with all of them at the end,
a total of one and a half hour total event.
I would call it Turn It Up University Tour sponsored

(01:05:54):
by Turning Point Action, sort of like the Act Up
campaign of the Gay's year years ago, but without violence
or any hand of violent rhetoric, just the opposite actually,
So they won't even attempt to kill all three at once.
So it's sort of a hedge too. But that's my beef,
and that's my replacement, you know. Suggestion.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Thank you, thank you, Mark Brilliant. I love it, absolutely
loved it. I loved it when you emailed it to me.
I loved it that you called in and shared it
as well. That was awesome. With one or two provisos,
how about we fly a drone over the buildings, monitored
by law enforcement in real time. And oh, by the way,

(01:06:39):
how about we have you know, if we've got cameras
all around campus, how about we have someone monitoring those
video feeds. They would have seen this guy climb up
on the roof and they would have had all kinds
of time to tell Charlie, don't appear, and they would

(01:07:00):
have had all kinds of time to Yeah, now, in
case you missed it, we're gonna go back to the
phone lines here. Craig is next, and then Patricia. President
Trump is announcing live on Fox that we have quoting,
we have Kirk, suspect and custody. That's what he's saying.

(01:07:23):
Now we've heard three of This is the third announcement
like that. Is this the guy? And I'll emphasize guy.
My hunch is he presents Otherwise, sixteen past the hour,

(01:07:48):
We're going to take two more calls here and so
let me get to them quickly. And standing by is Craig. Craig,
thanks for calling in.

Speaker 17 (01:07:58):
Yeah. I want the country to realize that transgender is
a mental issue, and I want I want the government
to realize that that is a mental issue. That's all
I got to say.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Thank you very much. Completely agree it is mental illness.
They deserve our empathy and support if they're willing and
want to change. Patricia, you're the final caller here. What's
the beef?

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
Hey, Yeah, thanks for taking my calls.

Speaker 14 (01:08:30):
Really mad.

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
The other day, the day that Charlie Kirk was shot
and it was announced that he had died from his injury,
that on my local news. I live in the Orlando area,
now Orange County is where the news stations are, which
is a very liberal county. The young newscaster that was
I'm sure reading from a telepumpter said Charlie Kirk, a

(01:08:57):
right wing activist has been killed. Blah blah blah, and
so that was the what she announced it. I was
really angry.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Yeah, I understand. It's it's frustrating how people pigeonhole folks
like Charlie and others. It happens, and it happens on
both sides. But thanks very much for calling in. All right, listen,
this is President Trump on on Fox and Friends. We're
going to just listen in.

Speaker 18 (01:09:27):
He said, it's so terrible. I said, let me ask
you a questions. So we're going to Memphis. I'm just
announcing that now, and we'll straighten that out of the
National Guard and anybody else we need. And by the way,
we'll bring in the military too if we need it,
but national Guard. But Memphis is Look, it's a great
music city. It's a you know, home of Elvis and
everything else. But I said to him, where else should

(01:09:50):
we go? Where would you say? He said, sir, please
do me a favor. Saint Louis has been so badly hit.
It's very hard, very very hard. He said, don't lose Chicago.
You're going to lose Chicago, sir. It's a great city.
You're going to lose Chicago. And then we have this
slav Pritzker on television every day. All he does is

(01:10:11):
said Trump. I said, does he realize last weekend he
had eleven people killed and twenty eight wounded.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
He doesn't bother him. He says he's got the situation.

Speaker 18 (01:10:20):
Handled, and he keeps saying we have no crime problem.
The week before he had a week where he had
seventy two people injured and like eleven died. But every
if he does five, like you just said, five, that's
a good week. Every weekend they're losing many people. It's
out of control. But when this guy, who's a smart
guy here he heads a big the biggest river, he

(01:10:42):
said the way he said it, he said, sir, please
don't lose Chicago. We are about to lose Chicago. It's
a great city. You can save Chicago. You had a
decasion in San Francisco that said you're not allowed to
use the National Guard, the military in California, and you're
waiting for that decision on the appeal that we've been
winning all those decisions. We just won one against Newscomb.

(01:11:03):
You're waiting for it and a lot of people think
they did just a matter of time, But you're appealing it.
Are you waiting for that appeal to go your directions
so you can put.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
The National Garden word.

Speaker 18 (01:11:12):
You don't have to worry about the courts telling them
we're really not. We think we're going to win all
of them, and we have been winning all and we
just won one against Gavin Newsom, who's been terrible. Look
if we didn't go into La a few months ago,
you wouldn't have the Olympics there. They lost twenty five
thousand houses to fires because they didn't have the water
come down from the Pacific Northwest. They have a lot

(01:11:33):
of water, but they send it out into Pacific to
protect a little tiny fish which did very badly when
it didn't have any water. By the way, but just
the whole thing is so crazy. You wouldn't have lost
any houses. You would have had a fire, they would
have had sprinklers going, they would add fire hydrants. But
they lost twenty five thousand houses. Now they want to
build low income housing where many of those houses. I

(01:11:54):
don't know if you heard this. This came in last week.
Nobody's got their permits. The federal government leads eld is incredible.
He got and they're much tougher permits. Everybody's permit permitted
in California. In Los Angeles, everybody has a permit to
build a house, to rebuild house, except the city and
the state haven't given the permits. It's a long time

(01:12:14):
now and the people want to build. But now something
it's environmental because they're just incompetent. No, but it's really
the incompetent they could avoid the I have. My environmental
is much tougher than his. Everybody had it within thirty days.
This is now over a year and these people are
standing outside the house. They want to rebuild house. But
in my opinion, even whereas they now want to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Tell all right, President Donald Trump on Fox and Friends.
I was hoping to catch a little bit more of
what he said about the suspected assassin or Charlie Kirk.
He said that they have a suspect in custody. It
has been now announced by the President of the United States.
So in theory, you would think he would have been

(01:12:56):
told that by Cash Patel, who heads the FBI. So
we'll certainly be keeping an eye on that story. That
is going to supersede anything else. I've gotten the rundown
for the rest of the show. If I learn more,
we'll pause, we'll give announcements, we'll do whatever we need
to do. Twenty seven minutes past the hour. Thank you
for your calls. I'm sorry we couldn't take more. This

(01:13:17):
The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well, normally we would
on a day like this we would do the best
and worst of the week. We all know what the
worst of the week is. There's just but I've decided
to turn the worst of the week into just something else.

(01:13:39):
In that I wanted you to hear another side of
Charlie Kirk when he gave speeches and talks, and you know,
it wasn't all just sitting behind a table taking questions.
It was opportunities to speak, whether it's at sea pack,
whether it's at the Republican National Convention, a gathering, a

(01:14:02):
Turning Point USA event. And this clip is edited together
and so you'll hear some applause and some cuts in
all of that, but it is Charlie talking to young
men about what it means to be a man.

Speaker 19 (01:14:21):
Young men, you need to have a destination in your life.
If you are on a date and a young lady says,
well what are you doing, You're like, it's a kind
of meander, and I, you know, I go on draft
kings and I you know, I own crypto, and like,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
And loser.

Speaker 19 (01:14:39):
Instead it should be I'm studying this. Because of this,
I'm gonna start a business. I'm gonna work for this person.
I want to be able to make this much money
by this period of time to provide for a family.
And I don't care how it gets, but I'll provide
for you and provide for the kids, and I'll be
the protector and the covering over the family. Follow me
because I'm gonna lead us. That's what they want to hear.
They want the confidence and the security that when life

(01:15:01):
gets difficult and when life starts falling apart, that that
man will lead them towards security and stability. Because deep down,
women have a very well built and finely tuned God
give an instinct that they'll be able to tell in
a man when the bullets start firing, is this guy
going to protect me and protect my kids. And he's
he gonna provide or is he going to run for

(01:15:22):
the hills. Go look to your grandfather's generation at storm
Normandy Beach. They'll build this nation that started big businesses,
that went on adventure. If the most important thing for
you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you
will end up purposeful.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
That was brilliant. If what matters to you the most
is feeling good, you will end up miserable. If what
matters to you is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
I thought it was important for people to hear the

(01:16:03):
breadth of Charlie. It wasn't just the Constitution. It was
about life. It was about roles and responsibilities. I hope

(01:16:26):
anyone listening that hears that and goes, wow, it's really
there's nothing wrong with that. And you are on that
other side. I hope you start to get convicted over this.

(01:16:47):
If you are a Democrat, I hope you are convicted
and you wake up to what's happening to your side
of the aisle, wake up, recognize the extreme element, the violent,

(01:17:13):
extreme element of the Democrat Party of illiberalism, the socialists,
the communists, the true fascists. Fascist fascists shoot and kill
people for things they say. That's that's that's they've just

(01:17:34):
self identified again. You need to run from those people again.
I keep using this expression. People that are rejoicing over
Charlie Kirk's death should be shunned because there is not
a decent person, even those that are diametrically opposed to
Charlie's philosophies, my philosophies, your anyone is welcome to a

(01:18:00):
pose those Let's sit down and talk about it. Let's
see whose ideas stand up. But anyone rejoicing over the
death of violent murder of an opponent like this that
advocated let's just talk that person should be shunned from

(01:18:20):
society and be an outcast until they repent and change
their mind and see how I was wrong. Forty minutes
past the hour, his legacy, I'll let him sum it up.

Speaker 15 (01:18:38):
Story you want to share, write him at Preston at
iHeartRadio dot com. Yes he knows how to read, well, actually,
his producer reads him.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
He doesn't know how to read.

Speaker 15 (01:18:49):
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Forty two minutes after the hour. Two months ago, Charlie
Kirk sat down with this kid and did an interview
with him on Facebook Facebook Live. Something I don't know.
I don't know who the kid is. To me. The

(01:19:32):
question is poorly asked. The answer that Charlie gives is
short and succinct. Let's listen, everything completely goes away. How
do you want to be remembered? I mean, if I die,
everything just goes away. How would you if you could
be associated with one thing, how would you want to

(01:19:54):
be remembered.

Speaker 19 (01:19:55):
I want to be I want to be remembered for
courage from my faith.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
That would be the most important thing. That's it. That's it.
That would be the most important thing. Not battling politics,
not battling the freedom of America, not battling for the Constitution. No,

(01:20:22):
his faith in Jesus Christ. This is why I believe
that whoever steps up into a leadership role with Turning
Point USA must be of the same, must be of
that cloth, must be a devout, outspoken, articulate defender of

(01:20:54):
the faith. Most important thing in his life is his faith.
You'll notice he didn't say family, because your faith is

(01:21:15):
most important, Your love of God enables you to love
your family. Your commitment to Christ enables you to be
a good husband and a good father. That is why

(01:21:35):
the priorities have to always be God first, family, second,
all else, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on. Those
first two are non negotiable. So as we edge towards

(01:21:58):
the end of this program, and it would appear that
we are going to have a lot to talk about
on Monday, because again what is being announced is that
the suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk is in custody. President

(01:22:19):
Trump just said a few minutes ago, I think, with
a high degree of certainty, we have him. He said, Essentially,
someone who knew him turned him in. We have the
person that we think is the person we're looking for.
They drove him to the police headquarters. He's there. Now

(01:22:40):
what police headquarters, we don't know. I'm going to be
as I always try to be honest and transparent with you,
I am somewhat relieve that someone who knew this person

(01:23:02):
turned him in, because that tells me that someone who
knew this person agrees that what he did was wrong
and there is no defense for that. Sadly, the person

(01:23:23):
who turned him in will now be targeted by the
zealots on the extreme illiberal left that will view this
person as a hero. This person, whoever is responsible, whether

(01:23:43):
it's the one in custody or not, we don't know.
They'll have their day in court, but whoever is responsible
will face eternal judgment from God. But on this side
of eternity, we'll face death. And one can only hope

(01:24:05):
that it's speedy and that they will hide into anonymity.
I will do my part, but I'm sure I will
be all but alone forty seven minutes past the hour
when we come back. Something you will not expect. All Right,

(01:24:30):
I said we're gonna end this show a little differently.
So before we get to that, let me share a
couple of things. First of all, I've had a ton
of email about the way we started the show. Yeah,
I was just yesterday's I was praying about today's show.

(01:24:52):
I just felt strongly about playing a specific song to open,
because each Friday I opened with a song. I know,
talk show opening with a song, weird, right, Yeah, Well
you know, and I really prayed and found what I
wanted and it impacted a lot of people, and so

(01:25:13):
I've been sharing a link to it we cannot allow
it in the podcast, and what I'm about to play
cannot be in the podcast, so it will go up
on a blog this weekend. The song also, if you
want to give the turning point USA TPUSA dot com,
tp usa dot com. It's just that simple. And to

(01:25:35):
take us to the end of the show sort of,
Tom McDonald a very conservative rapper and a song called
Charlie and this will not be on the podcast. And oh,
by the way, the proceeds go to go to
