Speaker 2 (00:52):
Seven nineteen fifty five per CD talk station, Oh summer
day today, But we have someone to talk about that
press his feelings on the assassination of the late Charlie Kirk.
Welcome back to the fifty five Case Morning Show, which
was which was a happier topic. Alex Cherontafelo, head of
the Ohio Republican Party. Good to have you back on
the show.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, Brian, yeah, it's gonna be with you always. But
today we have a heavy heart. There's no question about that.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah. In your reaction again, I'm gonna mention Ken Blackwell's
comments that he wrote this eloquent statement to the many
murdered Charlie Kirk. So sorry, buddy, you proved something you
never tended to prove, that Charlie's words were powerful enough
to terrify you. You forced him, you feared him, not
because he carried a weapon, because he carried ideas that
cut deeper than any weapon you could ever wield. And

(01:42):
he went on to say, hey, buddy, you the lit
a fire and that fire is going to burn bright.
And you did nothing but strengthen the message to Charlie Kirk.
And I can only hope that Ken's observations on that
ring true.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well, so many people have been eloquent, Ken among them,
and I, you know, I don't have much to add
to that, frankly, but a couple thoughts I think I
would share, first of all O'Brian's conservatives, we're winning and
this is a result of it. We are winning. They
cannot defeat us with their ideas because their ideas are
tired and old. And instead of debating our ideas, what

(02:14):
the left does is they demonize our leaders. They call
Donald Trump a dictator, they call us Nazis, they call
us racists. They only demonized us because they can't win
on our ideas. They can't win on the questions of
patriotism and capitalism and freedom and the things that we
care about. And what Charlie Kirk did is he went

(02:35):
to young voters. You know something I as a as
a political leader, we've worried about and worked on for
a long time. We found the perfect messengers conservatives in
Charlie Kirk, and we're winning. And I think that's that's
my overwhelming feeling as I wake up today, and by
the way, not after a good night's sleep. This has
affected me deeply in a personal way. I guess maybe
because I've got a nephew I love dearly Papick by

(02:57):
the way, has a birthday today, who's thirty one years old,
young children like this. He's at the beginning of a
career building something. You know. I'm just this has affected
me deeply, and I will tell you that again, my
overwhelming feeling is we're winning, and Charlie Kirk's death is
to mean anything to my fellow conservatives. Be active, Come
do what we do, which is wage the battle daily

(03:20):
for the for conservative ideas. Be involved, Go be a
pullworker this election. Get and vote if you're in a
greater Cincinnati area for Corey Bowman. And again, I'm not
trying to politicize. I'm trying to say that we are
in a battle for the soul of the country, and
while they're shooting us, we cannot be we cannot cower,
we cannot still. We must continue to fight and wage

(03:41):
the war. Donald Trump said fight, fight, fight when they
shot him, that these moments cannot be left without action.
And for me, that's how I wake up. As if
I'm not already motivated, I've put in some long hours already,
It's only Thursday this week, but I will tell you
that I am super motivated, Brian, And in addition to
my sadness and anger, I'm motivated to defeat this horrific

(04:03):
ideology that seeks to hunt us and kill us and
end us as conservatives. It cannot stand this moment, cannot
stand and feel very strongly about it. But I know
you're giving a voice to a lot of great people
this morning, and I appreciate that very much.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
And I appreciate your voice. Appreciate your voice too, Alex.
And speaking of building on something, isn't Charlie Kirk's ass,
I'll call it career, his efforts, his outreach efforts with
turning point usa. The fact that one and he only
lived to age thirty one, but in his short life,
that that one man was able to elevate this message
and becomes so successful. Is that not illustrative of the

(04:38):
demand that exists out there for that message. And it's
a growing embrace that young people are having, young men
particularly are gravitating over to this traditional conservative ideology. There's
clearly a lot of people out there who feel the
way Charlie Kirk did, and you and I do.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well. He tapped into something, there's no question, yeah. And frankly,
vik Ramaswami has tapped into the same message, and that
is that young people yearned to be part of something
bigger than themselves. They yearned to get past this woke
garbage that dominated the country for almost a decade. They
want to be part of something. I wanted to be
proud of their country. They want to be patriotic. They

(05:18):
recognize the power of capitalism to raise up them and
their families. Charlie Kirk spoke eloquently about go have lots
of children. You know, you don't have enough voices in
the public space, saying that I believe that I'm blessed
with a huge, wonderful family and people that love each other.
These things are what Charlie Kirk talked about. And he

(05:38):
was a man of God. His purpose was bigger than
just politics. So yes, he found a message that resonated
with young people. And what it's meant is great benefits
to my political party, which I'm forever grateful, and I
think it's one of the reasons I'm so shaken. Charlie
had the force of nature. And by the way, Brian
Love a fan, I want to say about him this morning,
because it's just not no one's saying it out loud.

(05:58):
I'm going to say it about Charlie Kirk. He was
flat out brilliant. He was brilliant and some of the
smartest people, I think the smartest people in American political
life are on the right nowadays. JD. Vance is a
brilliant thinker. So vik Ramaswami is a brilliant and brilliant
human being. Same with Charlie Kirk. Watch him and marvel
at his depth of knowledge of everything from the Bible

(06:21):
to the Constitution to the Declaration of Independence and all
matters in between it. And at just a mere thirty
one years old, this man was as well read and
brilliant as any thinker of any political stripe in America.
And I think if we look at where the thinkers
are in modern American politics are on the right. Charlie
was a thought leader in many many ways.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Indeed, he was God bless you. Alex Randtefila. Keep up
the great work, and let's take the ball and continue
to run with it. We have an opportunity here among
in this tragedy to keep continuing to spread this message
and serve to remember Charlie Kirk the way he would
like to be remembered, which is advancing this profoundly better
message in America, one that's going to rescue America from

(07:02):
this leftist wave we've been facing. Alex T will look
forward to having you back on the program. Anytime you're
ready to do that. I'll look for that, and I
hope you have a wonderful week, my friend.
