The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Today on the Jimmy Barrett Show:

• The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
We'll see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This
is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind
dot Com.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett. Well, a very very sad day yesterday.
We talked about it a lot this morning on our
morning show and kat r h and I guess we
just might as well continue the conversation I hear this
afternoon on AM nine fifty KPRC, and that is the
assassination of Charlie Kirk. And I had the feeling when

(00:50):
it happened yesterday, and I did get feelings sometimes you
know in your gut, and you want to share that
gut feeling with everybody. That's kind of how I feel
in what I think really happened yesterday. Because you're gonna
hear a lot of rhetoric on both sides about this.
The Left is going to be vilifying Charlie Kirk as
some sort of a xenophobic. In fact, I had a

(01:11):
quote from a teacher, as you're probably see if I
can't bring that back up. I had a quote from
a teacher from Pennsylvania who had an opinion about about
the Charlie Kirk assassination, and it kind of tells you
really everything you need to know about, you know, where
the left comes from, the progressive left comes from on this.

(01:33):
I guess i'll paraphrase because I don't have that much
time to do it. And that is basically she called him,
you know, a white nationalist, xenophobic, transphobbic, blah blah blah
blah blah. And I can't have any empathy for anybody
like that. So and she's she's a guidance counselor in
a middle school. Yeah, that's the kind of person who's

(01:55):
you know, dealing with issues with your middle school children
who are having issues. Great one of what kind of
sage advice she's giving them. So she felt no empathy
for the murder of Charlie Kirk. And that's what the
progressive left has been so good at doing. That's where
the rhetoric really comes in. That's why the rhetoric is
dangerous is because they've managed to dehumanize these people. You know,

(02:19):
Charlie Kirk was a family man, with children, who believed
in conservative causes and was willing to argue with anybody,
debate anybody on the issues. When you have no answer
for what you're hearing from somebody, this is the progressive
left solution. Now you just kill them or you find

(02:39):
a way to shut them up. And that's what basically
what happened to Charlie Kirk. But now I will take it,
I will take it a step further. I think this
is more than just about Charlie Kirk. I think this
is about you and me and anybody else who's willing
to stand up and defend conservative causes. And the message

(03:00):
yesterday was pretty clear, shut the hell up, and maybe
we'll leave you alone. You know, speak out, and the
same thing could happen to you that happened to Charlie Kirk.
Is this worth dying for? Maybe you should just go
home and spend time with your family and your kids
and be quiet and leave us alone and let us

(03:21):
do what we want to do with this country and
then we'll leave you alone. Well, if they get to
take over that way, they're never going to leave you alone.
So I kind of posed that this morning on our
show on katrh on the Morning Show. You know, what
do you think is really behind the Charlie Kirk assassination?
What was the message that these people are trying to send?

(03:44):
And we got quite a few responses, as you can imagine.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Morning Jimmy, this is Kevin from Texas City. I'm just
as livid as you are. Maybe it's the gen xer
in me. If someone tells me to shut up, tells
me to sit down and be quiet, I'm going to
do the exact opposite. And what they don't realize is
that they may have gotten Charlie Kirk, but they just
created one thousand Charlie Kirk's Good morning.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
This is Jason Pennsylvania. I really like the way you
started to show. I think you're on the right foot.
There two things I'd like to remind our fellow patriots.
No one is the tree of liberty needs to be
watered from time to town with the blood of patriots. Second,
this is what made our country great, the people willing

(04:30):
to die.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, people willing to die for the cause. He got
cut off there. When you hit thirty seconds, you get
cut off. Let's get some more, Jimmy.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Charlie Kirk was targeted because he believed in America. He
believed in the freedom of speech, the freedom of debate,
and the freedom of open ideas. And many people on
the left never have a case and never will have
a case. That's why he was targeted. Pray for him,
Pray for his family, and pray for everyone else who

(05:00):
is on the right side of history.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Yeah, this is Jason in Pennsylvania. I'm having a problem
with these people saying Charlie was irreplaceable. There is nobody
that is irreplaceable. Otherwise our republic is in trouble. And
I think President Trump better be understanding that he's got

(05:23):
that next fellow groomed and ready to take his place.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
This is JB from Baytown, and I thought it was
kind of ironic that the question asked to mister Kirk
was around the same time the shot happened. I don't
know if that was sending a message there, but also
I am asking and pleading with Governor Abbott and all
the conservative agenda. These democrats need to abide by the law,

(05:50):
and if they don't, they need to be punished, and
we need to enforce it.

Speaker 9 (05:55):
Let's do it well.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Governor Abbot had a chance to do that. The Texas
State legislator had a chance to do it, they chose
not to. I don't know how conservative Governor Abbott really
is when you get right down to it. Let's get
some more.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Hi.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
This is Atlanta and Stafford. I think Charlie was killed
because he was turning younger people to trump Ism. Thank you.

Speaker 9 (06:19):
This is Lance from Mississippi. But I'm currently in Pennsylvania.
What's been most of my mind is expanding a little
bit on one thing that you said. It's the message
that the left is sending that if you speak out
and it's something we don't like, then you're gonna get shot.
You're gonna get killed. Well, what I'm afraid of happening

(06:41):
is the other side of the coin, and when they
speak out, they get shot.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
Jimmy Joe from Conrad, It's time for the silent majority
to not be so silent.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I am tired of turning the other cheeks.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (06:57):
I guess what really disgusted me is all these left
is mar Marxists that are posting how wonderful it is
that this man was assassinated.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Well.

Speaker 10 (07:06):
I didn't necessarily agree with everything Martin Luther King said,
especially his stance on communism, but I will never post
how what a great thing it was that he was assassinated,
because it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I can't remember off the top of my head who
said it yesterday, but the comment was made, but I
think it was Eric Trump actually the comment was made
that all the bullets are coming from the left. They're
not coming from the right. They're coming from the left.
Only people on the far left have been willing to
use political violence to try to achieve their means. Nobody

(07:42):
on the right has. And I'm not suggesting my stretch
of the imagination that people on the right should somehow
resort to political violence, but it is interested to how
one sided, at least up until now, how one sided
this whole thing has been a right. Couple more quick ones.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (07:57):
I guess one of the most shocking posts I wrote,
man who is valedictorian of our high school actually posted
this is a good thing and the Charlie Kirk had
it coming to him, which just verifies people that are
over the top mentally IQ wise are probably insane.

Speaker 11 (08:16):
If you are a Democrat, you need gun control, why
don't we start by taking the guns away from all
the Democrats. We won't have Republicans targeted, or conservatives or
religious leaders like Charlie Kirk. I was drawn to Charlie
Kirk because of his faith initially, and the rest just
happened to be a gift.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Naith Davel and Lake Conrod.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, it's a sad day.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
God bless mister Charlie soul and God please keep his
wife and children in your arms and protect them.

Speaker 9 (08:52):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Amen, can't add anything to that. All right, quick little
break back with more in a moment. Jimmy Bart Show,
AM nine fifty KPRC. All Right, Obviously, this morning we

(09:18):
talked a lot, and we are again this afternoon by
the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a campus of a
university not that not that far from Provo, Utah. I'm
trying to remember the name of the The name escapes
me at the moment of the name of the of
the of the town. It's a conservative state. It's a
red state. Oh, by the way, speaking of being a

(09:39):
red state, I'm looking for positivebout it yestate because I'm
I'm I'm maybe you're the same way. I'm always looking
for who's the next set of leaders potentially coming in?
Who are people that would make good either national office
holders or maybe even presidential candidates at some point. I'll

(10:00):
tell you who impressed me yesterday by the way he
handled himself at the press conference. Was the governor of Utah.
His name is Spencer Cox. Now I don't other than
the fact he's a Republican, I don't know anything about him,
but I was impressed by what he had to say.
Here's a little bit about what Governor Cox had to
say at yesterday's press conference shortly after the assassination on
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 12 (10:21):
It's a tragic day for our nation, and I want
to be very clear that this is a political assassination.

Speaker 9 (10:32):
We are.

Speaker 12 (10:35):
Celebrating two hundred and fifty years 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. The first one of

(10:55):
those is life, and today the life was taken. Charlie
Kirk was first and foremost a husband and a dad
to young children.

Speaker 13 (11:19):
He was also.

Speaker 12 (11:22):
Very much politically involved, and that's why he was here
on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech
and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people. Historically,
our university campuses in this nation and here in the

(11:44):
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 as foundational
to the formation of our country, to our most basic
constitutional rights. And when someone takes the life of a

(12:09):
person because of their ideas or their ideals, then that
very constitutional foundation is threatened.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think that guy gets it, I really do. I
like the way he held himself. I liked his measured response.
I like what he had to say. Again, I'm not
saying that this is a potential future president of the
United States, but I'm saying I think we're going to
hear more from this guy from this Governor Spencer Cox

(12:40):
from Utah. Also on our morning show from earlier today,
we had on a guy who knew Charlie Kirk very well,
and it was an interesting I certainly, in one hand
it was a very sad conversation, but on the other hand,
it was a very I think useful exercise. His name

(13:00):
is Christian Collins, he's the founder of the Texas Youth Summit.
He was on early early this morning, like at five
point fifty two in the morning on our morning show
in KTRH, So I know a lot of you probably
weren't up that early and had didn't have a chance
to listen to it. But he knew Charlie Kirk very well,
had worked with Charlie Kirk, knows the family. Here's a
bit of our conversation about Charlie. I don't even know

(13:21):
where to begin with this this morning, Christian. I can
only imagine anybody who knew Charlie very well, and I
didn't know him very well, but anybody who did, I mean,
thought nothing but the world of the guy. And to
have this happen is just beyond horrific.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, Jammy, thank you so much for having me on.

Speaker 14 (13:39):
And yesterday, as I got the news, we were just praying.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
My wife to be and I we were just praying that,
you know.

Speaker 14 (13:49):
God would spare his wife and unfortunately it didn't go
that way, and you know, we just were grieving and it's.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Truly truly horrific. We're stunned.

Speaker 14 (14:01):
And of course he's a conservative hero in our movement,
but more than that. He was a father and a
husband and a strong Christian and he had his entire
life before him. And I heard you ask a little earlier,
you know, basically, you know, how did this happen outside?

(14:24):
You know, with those tall buildings around. I don't think
he thought that the left would go through those links,
you know, to assassinate him. Sure, President Trump, but not him.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
And he did have.

Speaker 14 (14:37):
Men security with him, but that was for something short range,
probably if someone was trying to assault him short range.
But this was a coordinated, planned assassination on him, and
I happened, you know, in a way that I don't
think anyone ever expected. He's not running for president. I

(14:59):
think think he very well could have been president one day.
Everybody knew that, that knew him.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
But I think he's one of the most important activists
of our time.

Speaker 14 (15:12):
And he's truly irreplaceable and one of the most gifted
and talented people ever in in the youth space.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
For sure well.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
And he was a major major problem for the progressive left,
There's no doubt about it. He was reaching out to
college students in a way that nobody ever had when
it comes to conservative causes. He was having a huge impact.
He had a huge impact on the election. He's having
a huge impact now continuing now. And you know, these
these are dangerous people to to to the radical left.

(15:47):
You know, people who believe in God. They don't want
you to believe in God. They want you to believe
in in them. They're they are the higher power. So
to to shut Charlie Kirk up, I believe it was
an attempt to shut all of us up.

Speaker 14 (16:03):
Absolutely, they do want us to shut up, and they
want people like me who host you know, a conference,
myself and others like Riley Gaines. You know, she was
on news outlet yesterday and they asked her if she
wanted to keep going and doing what she's doing because
she's been in those tens with Charlie Kirk and and

(16:26):
you know she said her initial instinct was she didn't
want to do that. And that's what TIS want to do,
is they want to stop you and put you in
fear from speaking out and standing up for what's right.
And in America, I mean, you could work in certain places.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
And be in fear of losing your job.

Speaker 14 (16:42):
But this is taking it to a whole other level
for speaking out for truth and just simply saying that
there's a difference between men and women and you could
lose your life for that. And as Charlie was asked
about transshooters, that was what the question was about. That's
when he was out. And I say all that to say,

(17:03):
you know, we have to continue his incredible legacy to
stand up for truth.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
We cannot back down. We can't just step aside and
put our heads in the sand or live in fear.

Speaker 14 (17:16):
We have to continue to stand up for boldness and
truth and fight the good fight and do so as
a happy warrior like he did. He was always respectful,
he was never angry, he was willing to listen. He
did things civilly. He's simply let people come up and
ask him questions. And the Left wanted to silence them

(17:37):
for that, and that is unthinkable here in America. And
we've got to continue to stand up for what's right
and do so civilly, but stand up for truth. And
Charlie will never be forgotten. He has an incredible legacy.
And one thing I just want to point out is, Charlie,
you know, I've been going through the bargaining process of

(17:58):
grieving asking I just wish that he would have done
this indoors and not outdoors, but I don't think the
crowds would have been nearest big And he knew what
he was getting into by being outdoors, because he wanted
those kids who were going to class who didn't know
anything about the event, that might just stop buying, you know,

(18:19):
have the conversation with and then get interested in politics
and get.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Interested in you know, the culture war. And that's what happened.
You know, he reached.

Speaker 14 (18:28):
Young people like nobody, and he contributed in a large
way to President Trump's victory four And you know.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
He refused to live his life in fear. Which is
not to say I don't think that that Charlie Kirk
thought that somebody would make an assassination tempt against him
or murder him for his beliefs. Certainly we know that
that's what happened with President Trump, not once, but twice
the attempt was made. You expect that on national figure
political Charlie Kirk was not a political figure, but his

(19:03):
ideas were very dangerous to the far left. So he
was somebody who needed to be eliminated. As I said before,
he was dehumanized so that you don't have to feel
guilty about eliminating him. He's not a human being. Go
ahead and get rid of it, get rid of the problem.
He's not a human being. I hope the legacy is

(19:24):
for Charlie Kirk that he refused to be intimidated into
giving up what he knew was his mission to do.
And I hope that we all take a listen from that,
that we don't become fearful, as I said, and we
don't decide to crawl back into our little caves with
our families and to be quiet so that nothing bad

(19:44):
happens to us, because that's what they're counting on. That's
what they're coming on. All right, we have bore to
come stick around Jimmy Bart show here at a nine fifty
K perc.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I should probably mention today is September the eleventh. I
probably would have been doing a whole lot more on
September the eleventh if what happened yesterday had not it
happened is a very easy date for me to remember,
not just because of what happened on September the eleventh,
two thousand and one in New York, in Washington, d c.
And in that field in Pennsylvania, but also because it is,

(20:30):
first of all, my mother in law's birthday. How would
you like to have your birthday in September the eleventh?
Her birthday has not been the same since two thousand
and one, it just hasn't. And the other interesting thing
about September the eleventh, at least for me, also an
easy date to remember. That's the date I finally started
on the air here in Houston after getting here after

(20:51):
Hurricane Harvey. So it's been eight years now because I
started September the eleventh of twenty seventeen, So it's been
eight years now since I've been here in Houston, and
of course before that, I was in Virginia for the
better part of two decades. I've never moved around a
whole bunch being in radio. I know a lot of
people who do. I know a lot of people who

(21:12):
went in this business, in the radio business that if
you ask them to put together their resume of how
many stations they've been, i'd be three or four pages long.
I could fit all mine on one page. I've never
never been the one to just move around, you know. Basically,
I've worked Detroit because I was born in Michigan. I've
worked at Richmond, Virginia and now here in Houston, which

(21:32):
is you know, my greatest location of ball. Thank you
very much. Thanks to all of you, by the way,
So I'll wish myself a little happy anniversary as a
easy thing for me to remember. But as it seems
to be the case, we spend September the eleventh talking
about things that just aren't that great way do you
want to talk about the anniversary of September of the eleventh?
Can you believe it's been twenty four years. I mean,

(21:55):
they continue in New York to do their memorial services,
but there's a lot of a lot of places where
you know it. Like everything else, it just kind of
fades with time. I think I'm always going to remember
September the eleventh for no other reason than the feeling
that we all had as Americans right after September the
eleventh that is maybe well it is, it didn't last long,

(22:17):
but it is the last time that we've all been
growing in the same direction. Republicans, Democrats. We didn't have
such a progressive presence in two thousand and one, but
liberals and conservatives we're all getting along. We're all filling
very American and we were all, you know, standing up
for our troops and standing up for our country. And
that didn't last long. But it was a good feeling

(22:41):
at the time. I was hopeful at the time that
maybe this would be a turnaround moment for the country,
but unfortunately it did not last. Maybe some of the
more elegant, eloquent, pardon me comments that I've heard, kind
of wrapping up this whole thing with Charlie Kirk and
this violent on the progressive left that has come in

(23:03):
the direction of conservatives, which has been very much one way.
But one of the more eloquent things I've heard are
the observations of President Trump's son Eric. Here's Eric Trump
from yesterday last night, in fact, on Sean Hannity.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I've seen too much in the last fifteen months. I
saw my father almost get assassinated the first time while
watching high definition TV. I got to call when they
tried to kill him again on a golf course. Charlie's
a dear friend. Now I see him die at the behest.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Of a shooter with a long range rifle.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's enough, It's absolutely enough. They're not going to wipe
his ideas off the table. If anything else they're just
going to ground his ideas in a movement that's become
so powerful America won't take this. And I remember Charlie
walking into the Trump organization. He was twenty one years old.
He walked into our conference room and I met him
for the first time, and man, the kid was larger
than life. I mean, he was so far beyond his age.

(23:57):
I mean, what he created at that point, he had
a couple chapters, Turning Point was in its infancy. They
had absolutely no funding. And yet he spoke about this
big dream of creating this incredible organization and inspiring you know,
millions and millions of kids and really redirecting the whole
political conversation all across youth across the country. I mean,
what's a bigger kind of goal than that? And he

(24:20):
did it. And I watched him over that ten year
period of time. Ten years ago, I met him, right,
and I watched him over that period of time, and
he was truly one of these great forces of nature.
And he became a dear friend. He became an incredible
friend to me, He became an incredible friend to Don,
He became an incredible friend to my father or Laura,
our entire family, every one of us spoke at his events.
I mean I went to Georgetown, my alma mater, with him,

(24:43):
which is incredibly liberal campus, as you know better than anybody,
and you know, I mean we sat there and we
had the greatest conversation with kids on both sides of
the spectrum, and it's just amazing. And what he did everywhere.
You couldn't travel anywhere in a political circle without running
into Charlie Kirk. Mean, he literally wore through his shoes
and he loved this country. He loved God, he loved

(25:05):
his family, he loved red, white and blue, he loved
you know, the make America Great Again movement, and he
put his heart and soul and every aspect of his
effort into it. And then to see the blood gushing
out of his neck today, you know, the truly traumatizing sight.
You know, when all you saw in that crowded audience
was just love. I mean, kids who were engaged in

(25:25):
the political process, who finally wanted to get involved with
politics for the first time maybe ever, right, I mean,
something that ten years ago was so dull until my
father reinvigorated it. And now you had the next generation,
a kid who was thirty one years old who was
out there giving it absolutely everything and electrifying these kids,
you know, and today he's gone, and it's just it's

(25:47):
hard to fathom. We've seen enough death, We've seen enough
senseless killings, and Sean, let me leave it with this.
I'm sick and tired of seeing the bullets. They're only
going one way again. First it was my father. Then
you saw what they tried to do Kavanaugh. Then you
saw what they did to Steve Scalis. Now they just
killed Charlie Kirk. I've gotten more envelopes of white powder

(26:07):
as has done, as is everybody in our entire family.
When does a senseless nonsense stop?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
And I don't know the answers to that. I don't
know that it ever stops. And again, that is what
the progressive left counts on, is that. I mean, they
are I guess you could give them credit for being
that dedicated to their cause that they will stop at
nothing to try to eradicate people who want to turn

(26:36):
back the clock on the United States of America, to
make America great again, to make it the country it
used to be. They are one hundred and ten thousand
percent in on the cause and they don't much care
what they have to do to do it, including killing
their opposition. Now, if we start thinking the same way

(26:57):
about the opposition, then that's when you have your American
Civil War, your second American Civil War. Can't even imagine
what that would be like. You talk about North versus South.
This is a whole different level, whole different level of
warfare potentially, all right. By the way, he mentioned I

(27:19):
don't know if he mentioned or not, but I certainly
mentioned nine to eleven and today being the nine to
eleven anniversary. President Trump is supposed to be in New
York today at a Pentagon memorial service. Earlier in the today, First, well,
that's in Washington, d C. He's going to be at
the Pentagon. They're doing memorial service there, and then he
leaves for New York. And evidently he's attending the Yankees

(27:40):
Detroit Tigers game at Yankee Stadium. I know there will
be a tremendous amount of security there, but that would
be a very difficult place to try to launch an
attack against President Trump. But given what happened yesterday, is
I hope that there is just an incredible amount of

(28:01):
time that's given to the security needs of President Trump
going forward, because clearly President Trump has already been a
target twice and they won't be afraid to try to
come after him again. Back with Born the Moment, Jimmy
Parrott Show here an Am nine fifty k PRC. All right,

(28:31):
I guess we shouldn't leave the show today without doing
some of this, some of what the progressive left has
been saying, I guess, just to demonstrate that there's there's
there's no hope for some of these people. There is
no hope. It's it's not like we can You can
ask people to tone down the rhetoric all you want,

(28:53):
they won't. You can ask people to not advocate violence,
they will. And I don't know if there's anything you
can do to stop that. Quite honestly, it certainly hasn't
ratcheted down so far. As they said a little earlier
in the show. It's very easy to justify killing people,
first of all, for your cause, if you believe your
cause is that noble, and evidently the progressive left does.

(29:16):
And number two, if you can figure out how to
dehumanize somebody so that you don't feel like you're killing
a fellow human being, killing, you're killing a xenophobe or
a transphobe, or a white nationalist or Adolph Hitler or
a Nazi, whatever it is, you need to think in
your mind to justify it as doing what you're doing.

(29:37):
And MSNBC continues to be a cheerleader for this kind
of activity. You had two people on the air yesterday
just spewing nonsense about the Charlie Kirk assassination. Ah, I
don't know what happened there. Hang on just a second.
Let me try this again, because I really want you
to hear this.

Speaker 13 (29:57):
One of the DOGE employees is allegedly attacked in Washington,
d C. That's what Donald Trump used as a justification
to send in federal troops into Washington, d C. To
get things under control. You can imagine the administration using
this as a justification for something.

Speaker 15 (30:14):
We don't know if this was a supporter shooting their
gun off in celebration or so. We have no idea
about this. But following up what was just said, he's
been one of the most divisive, especially devisive younger figures
in this who is constantly sort of pushing this sort
of hate speech.

Speaker 16 (30:32):
Yeah, so that comment got him in some pretty big trouble.
MSNBC quickly addressed how inappropriate it was. A writing quote.
During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk,
Matthew Doade made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive, and unacceptable.
We apologize for a statement, as has he there is
no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Matthew doder dowd to every pronounces that last name has
been fired. But he's not an anchor at MSNBC. He's
just a contributor, so he's very easy to get rid of.
Katie Tour, the female voice in the beginning, wondering whether
or not this the right is going to use this
as Trump is going to use this as justification for

(31:18):
more federal troops in our cities. She's still alive and well,
she still has her job now, even again, even though
first of all, it's the National Guard, okay, and it's ice,
it's not federal troops. We don't have the United States Army, Navy,
Air Force, or Marines in our nation cities, at least
not at angry like we may have sent them into

(31:41):
Los Angeles to quell a riot, but that's the exception
versus the rule. But that won't stop them from saying
this stuff. And then of course you have the politicians
on the left, when directly asked whether or not they're
willing to tone down the rhetoric or if the rhetoric
is a problem, the far left rhetoric is a problem

(32:02):
in attracting people to do this type of thing, they
push it off onto something else. Perfect example, Alexandrio Ocasio Cortez, you.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Have to your fellow lawmakers regarding the political environment.

Speaker 14 (32:16):
One message you have to your fellow lawmakers regarding the
political environment and the rhetoric that has been put out
in the media.

Speaker 17 (32:22):
You know, so you're beyond rhetoric. We need to talk
about action, and we need to talk about Yes, there
are the there.

Speaker 14 (32:33):
Are words, but most importantly, we.

Speaker 17 (32:35):
Are in a job of leadership.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
We are in a job of action.

Speaker 17 (32:40):
We are in a role and a position where the
American people are looking to us to do something about this.
And every single day people are dying due to gun
violence in America. And every single day there are people
in this building that continue to vote against doing anything against.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Universal background checks.

Speaker 14 (33:04):
They continue to.

Speaker 17 (33:05):
Support legislation and also remove anyway and to block the
mentally ill to block extremists, to block people with more
histories and records of domestic violence from getting guns in
their hands. So are we going to do something.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
About this or not?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
We would like to do something about this. Here's what
we'd like to do about this. Instead of releasing somebody,
whether they're mentally ill or just evil, Instead of releasing
somebody for no cash bail on their own recognizance, with
signing a letter offering to make sure that they returned
for their trial, why don't we keep them in jail.

(33:43):
We know what they're capable of doing. Keep them in jail, AOC.
Why don't we make a law that requires judges to
do their jobs? Because if you take away the guns
from the mentally ill, First of all, people are getting guns,
don't have a record of being mental, or they wouldn't
get the guns to begin with. So that's a different

(34:03):
problem altogether. But you take away guns, which I know
is your ultimate goal, because no resistance can come if
we are our disarmed society. I mean, the progressive left
would love that. Oh yeah, we need to ban weapons.
The criminals will still have guns. The people who want
to assassinate political figures, they'll still find a way to

(34:24):
get a gun. It's just the rest of us who
follow the law. We won't have a gun to protect
ourselves and our families. Listen, you'll have a great day,
I promise you. Tomorrow's Friday, I promise you will have
more fun tomorrow. We'll see tomorrow morning bright nearly five
am on News Radio seven forty KRH. We are back
here at four on AM nine fifty KPRC.
