Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
That would be the most important, most important thing is
my faith.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is the Kelly Golden Show podcast powered by Disaster
Plus on a Big Fail Friday.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's been over a week now since we lost Charlie
Kirk to an assassin's bullet, and Charlie not the hateful
things being said about him, instead a Christian, a father,
a husband, a patriot, a leader. Millions of Americans, including myself,
looked up to this young and brilliant man with keen

(00:35):
insight the legs I haven't seen in my lifetime. Frankly,
it's Kelly Golden. Welcome in just released by the White House,
this powerful tribute. I want to start with honoring Charlie
Kirk's legacy and remind you that this continues Sunday with
Charlie's memorial service Live from Arizona that will air at
two pm on ninety four to three WSC. Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
My name is Erica Kirk. Charlie Kirk is my husband.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
To be remembered for his courage and for his faith.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his
Savior's side, wearing the glorious crown of a martyr.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Charlie loved loved life, He loved his life, he loved America.
But most of all, Charlie loved his children, and he
loved me with all of his heart.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
And I knew that every day. I knew that the evildoers.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Responsible for my husband's assassination.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Have no idea what they have done.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith,
and of God's merciful love.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
They should all know this. If you thought that my
husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You
have no idea what you just have unleashed across this
entire country and this world. You have no idea. You

(02:36):
have no idea the fire that you have ignited within
this wife, Charlie, let your family. The cries of.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
This widow will echo around the world like about a cry.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I've linked that beautiful video in the podcast comments. Please
check it out. Now let's get to the big field.
This Friday.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
We had some new lows over the weekend with the
Maggie Gang desperately trying character.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
This kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Anything other than one of them, and everything they can
to score political points from it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I want to start with this, if you believe Jimmy
Kimmel losing his job is actually worse than Charlie Kirk
losing his life. Got to call earlier from a listener
saying the very same thing. I do pray for you.
I pray you heed the Governor of Utah's words and
take a look in the mirror and find a better angel.

(03:30):
Now to the lessons that many people across our country,
not just Kimmel, are learning that freedom of speech does
not mean freedom from consequences. My friend and fellow conservative
talk host at LFATV, Sean Farashey Shan broke down so
brilliantly cancel culture versus consequence culture the best I've heard

(03:52):
it yet this week. Take a listen.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Jimmy Kimmel was fired, Jimmy Kimmel was not silenced. He
still has a phone, he still has social media. He's
still welcome on all those platforms, and by the way,
he should be welcome on all those platforms. And by
the way, he has the ability to get another job
if he truly brings value to that timeslot. Another network

(04:14):
can pick him up and he could be their late
night host. This is consequence culture. Jimmy Kimmel made a
statement about Charlie Kirk's assassin that was factually inaccurate that
caused ABC's largest affiliate to be disgusted with his conduct,

(04:34):
that prompted the FCC to look into whether or not
ABC is violating rules that have been set forth in
the Communications Act of nineteen thirty four. ABC said, Jimmy
Kimmel is not worth the headache, and I happen to
believe they're right. And the same goes for all of
those firings that we saw last week and this week

(04:58):
regarding people's public behavior, whether it's on video, whether it
is on social media, regarding the death of Charlie Kirk.
When you're on social media, when you're in public, you
have a reason to believe that your behavior is being
recorded and watched. And if your employer gets wind of

(05:18):
that behavior, and your employer decides that that behavior is
detrimental to the brand, detrimental to that company's image in
the public eye, if it's detrimental to the public interest,
in the case of maybe healthcare, workers or EMS dispatchers
who are celebrating the death of somebody. The murder of somebody,

(05:40):
that employer can decide that they don't want to employ
you anymore. Your actions and your speech carry consequences, and
don't talk to me about the First Amendment, because the
First Amendment exists to restrict and prohibit government from criminalizing

(06:01):
protected speech. None of these people are being dragged in
front of a judge and being held criminally responsible for
what they posted on Facebook or blue Sky or x.
They're just losing their jobs because their employers don't want
that type of person with such a broken moral compass

(06:23):
working for and subsequently representing the company. Consequence culture, not
cancel culture.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now, I'm going to tag Sean and all the other
people that I'm mentioning in this cast in comments because
instead of sharing these so called news clips that we
do every week as hosts and even those out there
on social of these looney clowns and then ranting about them,
right now, what we need to be doing. We need
to be sharing and following and spreading our voices, voices

(06:54):
of reason, voices of sanity and common sense. Cause you're
seeing what I'm seeing. We've broken the algorithms on social
our voices. I'm seeing so many of them following, sharing,
liking as fast as I can. We need to continue
to make friends and build together because make no mistake,
we as conservatives are fully aware of cancel culture. In fact,

(07:18):
my fellow I heard colleague James tears out in Arizona,
hosts The Conservative Circus. You can check it out here
on the iHeartRadio app years back, dared to speak boldly
as a black man on a mic from his weekend
show at the time in Minnesota. Who dared at the
time to share he wouldn't be voting for Barack Obama,

(07:38):
And boy did he find himself being excoriated.

Speaker 8 (07:41):
Back in the day, you could have googled most hated
black man in America and my picture get showed up
with my bio. It was so crazy. I had relatives
in Mississippi, SA. James, don't come down here right now.
You are radioactive just for a political opinion. I had
to have the police in my house. I was a
subject on radio. Steve Harvey show was talking about me.

(08:04):
I was driving my son to work. They were talking
about me and basically how I need to be canceled
all black people had to get in line to get
this man across the finish line. And I was a problem.
Cancel culture is nothing new. They canceled Jesus. Jesus told
his hometown who he was. They tried to throw him
off of a cliff. Jesus was healing people on the

(08:27):
Sabbath and the religious order of the day. Well, well,
he had to be stopped. They started to plot how
to take his life, and eventually they were successful. If
you are a conservative at today's age, and Lord have mercy.
If you are a Christian as well, you got a
target on your back. You are a candidate for cancelation.

(08:49):
You know what I told you some of my enemies.
If you're gonna kill me, don't kill me over politics.
Kill me over Jesus because I love him and I
talk about him. Kill me over what I do every Friday,
the last two segments of my show where we have
a Bible lesson to help us understand the times that
we are going through, and then we pray for the country.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Kill me for that, like Sean Ferris, follow James T.
Harris again. I'll link them in the comments. Listen. I've
had death threats one mailed to me after appearing on
Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. And this is years back.
I actually had to have daily armed police escorts into
my station every morning, just to do my job, to
report the news, to provide the facts, to state my opinions,

(09:31):
and invite yours armed police escorts. That was a decade ago.
In fact, coming up next month in October, it was
back in twenty fifteen. Listen, we will not be silenced.
In fact, I want to leave you with this letter
penned by a fellow conservative morning drive talk host. He
works for WMAL during Morning Drive in Washington, DC, that reads,

(09:53):
in part, conservative talk radio is the last truly free
public square in America. We answer, he, he says, to
our listeners, and he's right. The American people who tune
in because they know they're going to hear what the
mainstream media, I call him the propaganda press, refuses to cover.
He says, they come to us because they trust us

(10:15):
to tell it straight. Aiman Leary, he says that if
anyone thinks the murder of Charlie Kirk is going to
drive us off the airwaves, they don't understand who we are.
The history of talk radio is a history of resilience,
from Russia Limbo to Charlie Kirk. Our voices have endured
smear campaigns, boycotts, government threats, and now tragically deadly violence.

(10:38):
Yet every time they try to shut us down, we
come back stronger. Every time they think they've broken us,
our audience grows. Charlie's death, he says, is a wound,
but it is also a call to arms, not with weapons,
but a call to arms with words, words of truth,

(10:58):
of conviction.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Words.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It cannot be canceled or censored, and cannot be silenced
by fear. And I agree with you, Larry O'Connor, he says,
As an industry, we stand together. We are united. Charlie's
microphone may have been forced into silence, but ours will
burn brighter because of it. We will carry his message,
his courage, and his relentless pursuit of truth forward. Charlie

(11:24):
Kirk is gone, but the cause he champion lives on.
His voice echoes in every one of ours, and we
will keep talking, We will keep broadcasting, We will keep
fighting together because in the end, freedom always wins. Amen, Larry, Amen,
keep spreading courage around like wildfire. I say it every day.

(11:49):
This is not a suggestion, it is a siren call.
As Erica Kirk so boldly shared, I have made it
my life's work to hold a line on free speech
here on news talk radio for nearly three decades. That
is thanks to your support. Yeah, that's you listening right now,
So share the message. Let's keep making new friends. I

(12:10):
hope you enjoyed the ones that I've shared today. And
on a personal note here close to home, I want
to thank that thousands who've continued to show up from
Somerville Hutchison Square to the top of the Ravenel Bridge
and all points in between to honor Charlie Kirk's memory.
The world is waking up to this turning point in
our history. We are unifying in love and in light,

(12:30):
and many of us leaning back into the Lord, as
we know Charlie would have wanted.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
People across the country are gathering, holding memorial services and
vigils to honor Charlie Kirk's memory and his passage.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Build will not die. It won't. I refuse to let
that happen. They will not die.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
It will be stronger, older, louder and greater than ever.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Promise I will never let your life. I promise I'll make.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
Turning point us say the biggest thing that this nation
has ever seen.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Rest to make arms of our old.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
As he blankets you with the words, I know your
heart always strives to hear.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Well done, my good and faithless.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Darling.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
You put all this together. It's just I am this
humbled by God's I think that's all I can say.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's done. I want you to remember that we did
not remiss this. This is this is God's mercy on
our country.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
To Charlie's family, we'd grieve with you. To listeners, we
stand with you. To those who think violence can silence ideas,
you're wrong. The idea of liberty, faith, and American exceptionalism
will ring louder than ever. Thank you Larry O'Connor for
sharing those words. I pray we all keep talking.
