Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm going to start it again with the release from
the White House. I read the great, even legendary Charlie
Kirk is dead. No one understood or had the heart
of the youth in the United States of America better
than Charlie. He was loved and admire by all, especially me,
And now he's no longer with It's Malania. My sympathies
go out to his beautiful life, Erica and family. Charlie,
(00:20):
We love you, President Donald J.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
He's also ordered all American flags who out the United
States lord to half mass until Sunday evening at six pm.
If you're just joining having heard this morning, Charlie Kirk
was assassinated on a campus in Utah. The shooter is
now under FBI control. He was loose for a while.
They actually arrested the wrong guy. Had I mean, they
(00:44):
drug that guy out. I was the mob could have
gotten to him. So he was not the right guy.
But many people shock rightfully, so this assassination. Buck Sexton said,
we wake up in a different country tomorrow and we
know what side the violence comes from. And we've been
talking about it and it's escalated. What we saw with
(01:05):
Charlie Kirk if you saw it many people during that
time period where we did not know anything yet from
the hospital. It's like we had that just like self.
We had to know how bad it was. And I
watched a couple of different angles and it was just
embedded in my mind, as many will be. They worked
(01:26):
for Turning Point USA. My next guest. They're in studio,
and I'd like to think Matt g Central California Young
Republicans along with Carly Hall. They both were with Turning Point.
Carly was a chapter president the last three years at
Fresnel State. Matt was a former Turning Point USA Field Rep.
And he worked with Charlie for two and a half years. Matt,
welcome back into the studio. Thank you sad day. Sorry
(01:49):
that I would say a hero, right, hero, I mean
that's that level.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right he thank you for having us, and it's definitely
a sad time to come into the studio, But you know, Charlie,
he opened up the conservative movement for my generation, for
so many people in our age group bracket, and he's
truly a hero among our generations.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Excuse me for interrupting. I had a lady call who
said her son and your generation younger guy, got the
family into it and how they learned and came back
together and got more back into church. And he affects.
He affected all generations. But yes, he knew his core demo.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Definitely. He opened it up for us, and the movement's
never been better, it's never been bigger. And he's truly
an American hero, American patriot.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And I think too, Charlie understood that the movement starts
with the youth because we can only do so much
if we're only focusing on these older generations. So he
really made the youth feel seen, which is a huge
issue that we didn't feel seen before when it came
to politics. And like you said, it was more than
just politics. It was faith, it was values and growing
(02:56):
these in people who had no influence.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So well, I want to stop both of you right
now in your tracks on this day, and I want
to say it's easier for me. I'm a conservative talk
shows you're supposed to be conservative and I am, but
to be young on campuses today, Carly and Matt, thank
you both for for standing here. I mean, that's you're
at that's the front line. Those are the trenches today
(03:22):
and the abuse I'm sure both.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's hard to be young and be conservative, much less
have a position on a campus today. So I plaw
both of you guys for being involved a Turning Point USA. Yeah,
you deserve a lot. Matt, what were your early memories, like,
I know, when it kind of first got got rolling
and all you were at a pretty famous one.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So when I first started working for a Turning Point USA,
it definitely it kind of changed my whole perspective. It
kind of was my first, I guess what you'd call
big boy job. And I remember during staff orientation they
told us the story of how Turning Points started and
how Charlie started the organization and unlike Turning other Republican
conservative organizations, nonprofits, whatever you might call it, starts with
(04:10):
a lot of money, starts with a lot of backing,
starts with the major politician. Charlie started with a card
table from home depot and a mic off his phone,
and he'd go by himself with his friend, with whoever
would come with him, and sometimes he would start, you know,
never even talking to someone that whole day. And it
went from lugging a table on campus by himself, probably
(04:31):
being made fun of getting called names, laughed at to
now having one of the largest followings that we've ever
seen in the movement in politics, and you know you've
seen has proved me wrong tables. They're huge. It went
from one person to thousands of people and that was
definitely something encouraging and something really appreciated that something I
(04:52):
really appreciated seeing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Carly Let me ask you this question, Charlie Kirk. Obviously
the influence the impact that he's had. Have you seen
have you guys been able to change any minds at
Freso State when you were there for three years, did
you see some people open up and have an open
mind to learn?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think that it really
goes beyond just what Charlie did for the conservative movement,
but what Charlie did for our generation as a whole,
because on both the left and the right, there's never
really been somebody who embraced political discourse in such a
way that Charlie did. And so this really taught our
generation and showed us, Look, you can sit down, you
(05:33):
can have a conversation with somebody you disagree with and
you can find a middle ground, or you can agree
to disagree, and we've never really seen anything like that.
So the impact that Charlie is bringing to our modern
world is not just on conservatives, but it's on our
generation as a whole, and really just everyone in America
(05:53):
as a whole, showing us that we can talk to
people we disagree with.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And Trevor, I was going to add, when Charlie sits impact,
he's had a huge impact on our generation now, But
I mean, we don't even know the impact that he's
had on the next fifty years. Because the people now
are going to grow up and they're going to vote
conservative or they're going to live conservatively. They're going to
put these ideas and these morals and these values onto
their children, and they all originated with people like Charlie
(06:18):
Kirk and the movement and his messaging, and so the
impact isn't even comprehendible at this point because it goes
beyond our generation.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He well said both of you.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He stood his ground, he didn't waiver, and that draws
people they know, well, at least I might disagree with him,
but he's telling what he believes to be the truth.
I think that's what a lot of the left issy
came out in and accepted him. I'm sure some of
the mean when he got he would get him good
with the truth. Some of them would end up applauding
him in smiling right. He changed him right there on
(06:51):
the spot. It was almost like an evangelist baptizing them,
and they came out different one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And you can see it all over TikTok Instagram YouTube
you'd see has proved me wrong tables during the election,
and these people would come up, you know, I'm not
sure if I'm going to vote for Trump. I'm not
sure if I'm a conservative, but I don't really like
what's going on in my college campus. I don't really
like what's going on in this country. And he'd you know,
bring up some very important facts. He'd test them a
little bit, and at the end of the day, there's
countless videos of people. You know, I might, I might
(07:17):
vote for Trump this year. I might. I might actually
put a maga hat on. I might actually speak up
against the professor who's trying to kick me out of
class because I have this view on America.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I don't know if I believe him because he's
Governor Satan. But when Newsom said his teenage son said, Dad,
you gotta have Charlie Kirk. Yeah. I mean, coming from news,
you gotta be careful. But yeah, yeah, that was a
It's gonna be one. I'm gonna go back and watch
yeah Beyond.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just like a movement, Charlie also had a way of
lighting a fire within individuals. He made you individually feel
like you can make a difference in the world and
make a difference in the values that you want America
to reflect. And that's really why I think the movement
was so effective, because each and every person out there
felt like they themselves could make a difference, whether that
(08:03):
was voting, whether that was volunteering, no matter what it was.
He was a huge believer in you yourself can make
the difference that you want to see, and I think
that is huge.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
My guest Carlee Hall, she's the former last three years
of presidental state Chapter president for Turning Point USA. And
Matt Gee, he's a former field rep with Turning Point
as well. There were the Central California Young Republicans. Charlie
Kirk assassinated this morning in university in Utah. The shooter
is now in custody. Matt Agent Squires tells me. I'll
(08:37):
ask you. You were at the event done in Ti
Larry Right to Life a week ago when Charlie Kirk
was there.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yes, that was an amazing event. Twenty seven hundred people
sold out the entire auditorium. It was I think Vicelia
First Church. And I was telling Agent Squires that I've
heard Charlie speak, probably with agent agent Agent Squires, that
I've heard Charlie speak at least a thousand times.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The first laugh I've had today, thank.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You, you're welcome. But hear I've heard him speak a
thousand times, and there was something special about you know
what I heard in Visalia. He was on fire. There
was a new fire in his belly. He was speaking
the truth and he did it so just swiftly, and
it was something like I haven't seen it, and I've
seen him speak a thousand times, and I'm just so
(09:25):
appreciative that I got to see that, and that he
sold that place out, and that twenty seven hundred Central
Valley residents got to see that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't really I have some audio and it's not
the time, it's not the day, but you know, people
talking smack about Charlie Kirk, calling him names, calling him
racist and all of that. But I do have one
from your Central Valley dot com Charlie Kirk draws sold
out crowd and protest in Vice Elia. They had this
Vicelia activist quoted on here saying he should not be
(09:56):
welcome in Vice Elia. I don't believe the Vice Elia
PD being here is necessary, Like it's a waste of
taxpayer money.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I think we proved that it was necessary.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, right, I I what was his Uh, it's a
good thing. I'm glad it popped in my head at
some of the events. Did you look around notice what
security was like?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah? So, I actually when I worked for a Turning
Point USA, whenever he'd come to any campus in the
Central Valley, I was there organizing the event. And you know,
his security team has always been top notch. You know,
he's not the President of the United State. He doesn't
get secrets. There's no radar helicopter flying around, so there's
(10:35):
you know, there's really some things that weren't probably ever
thought of. We didn't think we had to do this,
you know, we didn't think some crazy person was going
to go take the life of someone just because, right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You might have some guys around that exactly stop somebody
from Russian on it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But you're not gonna be searching exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I mean security. I remember cal Poly about a year
and a half ago, we brought him and we had
there was a first proven me wrong that sold out
seven hundred plus people, and there was there was policemen
from Sendler's Obispo on top of every building, which they
probably should have been in Utah here, and there was,
you know, a heavy security presence. But at the end
of the day, if someone's really deranged and someone really
wants to as we saw with President Trump's assassination attempt,
(11:14):
they're going to find a way. And it's it's just
really sad that we have this issue of people solving
their disagreements with violence. It's it's so satista that really.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
The left versus the right, we don't see this reversed.
It's this rhetoric and deranged narrative that they push that.
I mean, even us three sitting here today, we're racist,
we're anti democracy, We're a threat, and that's what they
believe about conservatives. And I think that they did this
(11:45):
to Charlie. But ultimately, if they could, if they would
have us all dead, if they.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Could well, there's been a lot of that rhetoric and
it keeps getting amped up and amped up. Of course,
we are praying for the family, and yes, that's the
first thing to do. You know, we feel like, well,
all we can do right now, that's the number one
thing that you need to do. Those two little kids,
his wife, his family, his parents, all all of this.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I saw something on Twitter and it really like kind
of moves here. It's like, you know, two children have
no father and one wife has no husband because you
disagreed with his for like policy on whatever it might be. Like,
is this really where we're at right now?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You know, well, Matt Carly, I know you're no longer
representing Turning Point USA, but it's a great thing if
you have anybody on campus to get involved. But Central
California Young Republicans tell people how to get a hold
of you guys do.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, so we have our Instagram Central Valley YR. You
can get a hold. I also wanted to mention that
we are organizing with the help of pastor Jim Franklin, yeah,
kind of supervisor Nathan Maxick, and Central Valley Young Republicans
a prayer vigil immembrance of Charlie this Sunday at six
pm New Covenant which is over on Maple Land Ees.
(12:56):
And we appreciate our kind of supervisor stepping in and
past and the pastor stepping in.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you're coming at Maple and Knee six day at
six pm this Sunday at six pm.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And anyone who can come. You don't have to be
a called to student or be somebody who's involved, open
to the public. Yeah, any anyone who could come. I
think it's important that we all come together in prayer
right now. So obviously the more the merrier.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And you don't even have to be a republic you
just have to say this is enough. We can't have
this political violence and we have to we have to
come together.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, Matt Carly, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And Chare thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:29):

tal Cloud. He's going to join us at the bottom

Speaker 1 (15:23):
When did you first come across Charlie Kirk and his
his his view of the world.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I heard about him in mid like twenty twenty four,
you know, and the more I listened to him, the
more like he made sense to me, you know, just
kind of clicked to me.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know, man, ask you, James, the youth of today,
sixteen year olds are they? Are they insane in the
membrane as someone like me thinks, I I'm not in
that world. Is there some common sense amongst you and
you and your friends and people you know that you
go to school with.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Sure, I'm be honest with you, no, no, but and
I'm gonna say the same for me. But I thought
I just come on here because this is crazy, man,
you know, like really here, our age people, our age teens,
you know, they're just crazy. Though, you know what I'm saying, like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What what was what was the lockdown like for you?
Not being able to go to school. Let me see,
that was five years. You were like eleven twelve years
old when all that started.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Right, Oh oh yeah, like twelve thirteen. Man, it was
it was crazy to me, you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Know, But what was that did you learn? Did you
learn during that time? Any mid mid.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You know what I'm saying, like not that much, you know, sir?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, thank you for being honest, James. I appreciate it.
I appreciate having a young year listening to the show.
What what?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I uh?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, it's okay to not know, But what do
you kind of want to do with your life when
you get out on your own.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I want to be a day tradder and possibly get
into owning houses, selling houses. You know, a real estate agent.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I uh, I know a real estate agent, one of
my one of my best friends.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can he can point you in the right direction.
Start right now. Whatever you want to do day trading,
you know, start with fifty two dollars. I guess, don't me.
I don't know how to invest in all that, but
I can put you in touch. Hold on, James, I
appreciate you calling the show. I want to get your contact.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you mind.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
True I do not mind.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
All right, we're going to put you into a real
estate and a trader guy there. Look at that, James,
so get his email or something or number there. Director
Ryan Nigel, thank you and that good, but it was
bad to hear him say no. So they're not really normal.
They're all kind of crazy. I was hoping for a
better report card on that one there. But it's affecting
(17:57):
so many different people in the impact that he has
had on so many people, and the American flags. President
Trump's ordered them throughout the United States to be lowered
to half mass till Sunday evening at six pm. I
gotta say, I might be one of these that might
pull over. And if it's an organization, I'm not going
(18:18):
to do it to a private person. I'm just thinking
like clubhouses and like homeowner those kind of things like that,
like you need to lower those down five five nine,
two thirty forty two forty two.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Let's go to Scott in front.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So, Hi, Scott, welcome, Thank you for calling on a
sad day.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Thank you, go ahead. What's on your mind, Scott?
Speaker 8 (18:44):
I'm really upset. I think there's going to be a
civil war coming from this. I really do it. It's
NonStop from the left. It's just even today they're you know,
the idiots on MSNBC and whatever are talking about how
it's his fault.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Let me read your quote, Scott MSNBC. Hateful thoughts lead
to hateful actions, right, how dare?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
How dare?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
It's I'm telling you there's going to be a civil war.
I'm a second one. I'm telling you it's coming. It
may not be this week, may not be this month,
may not be this year. It's coming.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I'm not arguing with you on that. It would be
a dark day in America. I all I know is
that it's in God's hands, and I think I will
know at what point if I keep my relationship right
with him what to do. Right now, I'm not ready
to go pick up a musket and form a militia.
(19:47):
I mean that anger is justifiable, It definitely is. I
have seen many people attacking, like ice pulling out of
rescuing you know, illegal alien care that didn't have anybody
here with them from the weed farm, and they're throwing
rocks and bricks, and I wanted helicopters and marines to
land and to round them up and to send them
(20:10):
to Guantanamo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I did. I got that.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I want military intervention to happen, and I think we needed.
It's already started in DC, looks like it's going to
be starting in Chicago. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
We're sick of the crap, Scott, We're sick of it.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I completely concur Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'm picking up what you're throwing down too, and I
appreciate you calling the show.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
All right, Thank you very much, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Scott and Fresno. Many people feeling this way, but you
also gotta pull it back on the rings again. I'm
not ready for bloodshed across America. That would be a dark,
dark day. But if they continue down this path, what
(20:54):
when I'm saying we're defending against a globalist, communist, Marxist,
leftist revolution of trying to overtake, Yeah, it might come
to that, especially when they're shooting. When they're shooting, let's
go to let's go to Stan in Reidley. Thank you, Stan,
thank you for calling hi there.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Hey, sad day for America and sad day for the
Kirk family.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yes, sir, and I guess the only thing I can say.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Emotions are flying high, but.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I know this.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
I'm gonna rest in the fact that he's in Paradise.
I know that for a fact, and uh.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
He's with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
And I'm gonna leave it at that for today.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I'm not gonna deal with the emotions until tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I like that, Stan, thank you. You know right now,
right now, he's better off than any of us. Now,
he obviously would would have wanted more time. I don't
know if I if I died and went to heaven
right now, would I be like you know what, I
I died too early.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I want to go back and do more of that.
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So great point made right there, See that is I
don't understand. I don't I've never understood this. Even as
a little kid, I didn't understand first time I asked
for what's an atheist?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
What's an agnostic?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And when it was explained to me, I couldn't understand that.
That seems so depressing to me that it's just nothing.
Think how utterly depressing tragedy death are to people that
believe there's nothing. So you left us in the media.
(22:44):
You left this politicians, you governors and mayors of Minnesota.
When those two little kids took a bullet, just like
Charlie Kirk did. And we were talking about prayer, and
you're like, we're beyond that can save if your prayer
even knew some getting in on it. No, that's the point, man,
That's what it's all about. We believe, we trust that
(23:10):
that creator, as a caller in the first hour said,
which I can remember her name, Sorry, ma'am, I don't
remember your name, but.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's written on the scroll the day we go out.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So when we are Christians, we trust that it's all
in his hands, even though we don't understand it, even
though we're we're angry, even justifiable righteous anger, but the
number one thing we can do is pray for his family,
that life, and those kids. I'll take more your calls.
(23:44):
Actually we're gonna be talking. Excuse me, tow Cloud's going
to be joining us next year. I went too long
on this. I see Towel on the line. Hang on, buddy,
political consultant Towle Cloud will be joining us again. Charlie
Kirk assassinated at thirty one.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show, Condom Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Welcome back to the Trevor Carrey show and Power Talk
ninety six seven AM fourteen hundred and the iHeartRadio app
Very Sad Day. Charlie Kirk assassinated in Utah. It's probably
about hour and a half two hours there. We didn't
know if he was alive or dead. It didn't look
good from the video. Political consultant Toal Cloud joins us
on the phone, towel sad day, brother, thank you for
(24:28):
coming on.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah, it's a sad day for our democracy when a
voice like Charlie Kirk gets snuffed out by a lunatic,
it's just a it's an awful day for democracy.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Really.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now, if you were an enemy of the truth, I
think that well he might.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He's top three that you would want to take out
if you didn't want the truth to be spread, especially
amongst the young people of America.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, his skill set bringing the young people to the
table is much like bringing so many of Americans what
Rush Limbaugh did for the conservative purpose, you know he
had he definitely resonated in in the work that he
did with the younger generation was amazing. But you know,
I've been listening to your show and reflecting on other
people's comments and and you know that this is not
the time for a revolution. This is just for time
(25:17):
for people realize it's there's a lot of crazy people
out there, and crazy people being created by policies. I mean,
that poor woman that was stabbed the other day on
the train, the professor that was killed in the park
in Auburn, Alabama. I mean, it's just it's it's happening
daily now, and and a lot of it is related
to these crazy democratic policies, you know, bail and and
(25:40):
and different free bail and different things. It's just people
need to be engaged and not just talk about doing
something or using big words like there's gonna be a you.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Know, a revolution.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
No, I mean, we gotta we have an election.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well you gotta.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You gotta understand that that that anger though, right, I
understand it. I said it'd be a dark day. I'm
not ready to get my musket, but I understand that anger.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's been like a decade of just taking crap from them.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Well it's been a decade, but I don't know. Ever
since COVID, I feel like there's more people that and
we've become more divided because we can't have a civil
conversation I mean, look at Charlie Kirk was out there
having a civil conversation with people. He would talk to anybody,
and he was snuffed out because he would happily talk
to a Democrat and he wouldn't call him an idiot
(26:30):
or a loser or scumbag. He would say, this is
my position, explain yours, and that was great. That's what
made America America. And it's a very sad day for us.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But he was a Republican, very conservative, and the Republican
Party's not famous these days for saying we're not gonna
listen to you, shut up, and calling names and protesting
and hurling bricks and rocks. It really is an attack.
Let me ask you, tal your predictions have been spot
on over the time I've known you. Will this be
(27:02):
and I'll use the word turning point for some Democrats
and their policies.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I wish I could say yes. The problem is it
takes leadership, It takes good messaging, it takes follow through,
It takes you know, advocating and arguing your points to
move the policy needle. And I think it's gonna get demagogue,
It's gonna get you know, people are gonna forget about
(27:30):
it in three weeks and it's not gonna be long lasting.
And that's that's what I'm so concerned about with this country,
is that, you know, because the Trump economy is not
on fire within ninety days, people are saying he's not
doing good on the economy. It's going to take time,
and it takes hard work to move the needle. So
I wish I could say this could move the needle,
(27:52):
but it's not going to move the needle unless people
get engaged. I guess, like engage them for more than
a minute.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I guess I'll say Van Jones, I haven't played the audio.
I'm really just focused on the loss. But he said
last night about you know, Charlie Kirk over the young
lady getting stabbed on the train in Charlotte and calling
them a racist, those kinds of things. You think that's
what I mean by maybe turning point for some of
these mouthpieces and maybe even some politicians that they might
(28:22):
realize we need.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
To pull this back. We said it after Trump and
they didn't. So maybe I'm asking a stupid question.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
See it. I don't see it, because that's how that's
what creates ratings. Look at I've I've done commercial and
TV commercials. And if you talk about, you know, an
issue as it relates to an issue, very simplistic and
on point. It's hard to get people's attention. You say
bombastic things, people listen. And unfortunately that's the that's the
(28:50):
world we live in now. And I and this, this
is very unfortunate that this happened for a good American
just doing what he thought right. And I would be
just as appalled if it was Rosy you know, or
somebody on the left, right Van Jones.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, that's how that's how the right is though. See
it's a it's a glaring difference in our society where
the trouble's coming from. Did you watch the video any
of that cell phone video?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
I did, Yeah, yes I did, And it's I mean,
it's it's hard to get that that vision out of
my mind. And if anybody you know has any any
animasity told Charlie Kirk, no one deserves what he went
through right there, and it's unfortunate for his family. But
I'm I'm just going to keep coming back. You know,
(29:37):
We've had a lot of these incidents, and when is
it going to be someone in Fresno. I mean, you know,
it's Auburn, it's it's North Carolina. It's going to happen here,
and we've got to stop this, and we its it
gets going to get stopped by removing Democrats and their
liberal policies and not allowing Gavin Newsom to pull through
(29:57):
with his Prop fifty fiasco that lets him choose the
politicians for the people versus the people choose our politicians.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You know, Prop fifty jerry mandering more Democrats and more
liberal policies. People will die from the vote on Prop fifty.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
They with the policies of the Democrats in this state
has caused many lives. And this didn't cause per Se
Charlie Kirk's lives, but it's coused many lives, just like
it has in Chicago, just like it has in New York.
And you know, when Trump's putting people into cities to
make them safer, good for him. And if you're a
(30:34):
citizen in that city, you want to be safe. We're lucky.
We have a sheriff and a DA and and you know,
and police chiefs that care about crime here, but others don't.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
But their hands are so tired too by Sacramento and
the laws.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Well, their hands are tired, but they're not. We look
at the sheriff man's and Zanoni and Dyer and all
the other leaders in Smith Camp. They've found ways to
make friends more conservative than la.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well yeah, yeah, I'll give you that, But I'm just saying,
like you know, the sanctuary they can't work with eyes.
You know, they got a lot of things that they
have to face with Sacramento arresting people and then you know,
new some opening the jail cell doors.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
We come back to Charlie Kirk. This is just this
is a travesty, and I think every American should be appalled.
But if you're frustrated, find a way to do something good,
help help create change, because talking about it, unfortunately is Charlie.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Charlie didn't use his fist, did he. He used his mind,
in his mouth and his soul, and he did it
so eloquently.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yes, all right, tal.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Listening while you're there, Thank you for what you do.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Do you thank you for coming home what you do
as well? Tell cloud ladies and gentlemen appreciate you. Tell
uh we're going to come back. And the reason that
we all might need a little break from this. We're
going to talk with the voice of US All State
Athletics and a mister Honor Flight USA. Paul Leffler's going
to join us life from the airport. We got some
veterans coming back, and I think of I keep seeing that.
(32:10):
I watched a video of Charlie Kirk taking the bullet
to the neck that took his life, and I still
see it, and I think of many of these veterans
flying back. Well, they've had to replay in their head
over their lives. So we're celebrating the thirty second Honor Flight.
It returns, it's landing. Paul will give us the ETA
(32:31):
and all the festivities. We'll talk to him from the airport.
Next the Assistant Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Welcome back to the Trevor Carey Show on Power Talk
ninety six seven A and fourteen hundred and the iHeart
Radio app A rather sad day. Thanks for all the calls,
thanks for thanks for the guests, and I'm going to
go to Paul Leffler here for some good news. Paul Leffler,
(32:52):
Voice of President of State Athletics and mister Honor Flight USA.
Welcome to the show, Paul, Hey, thank you, Trevor, and yeah,
what a tragic day in America.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
But I'll tell you it underscores the contrast and we
feel the division in our country, but Central Valley on
our flight is one of those things that reminds us
we don't have to be divided. In this crowd at
the airport tonight, you'll have people across the political spectrum,
every religion, every ethnicity, every tax bracket, none of that
stuff matters. What matters is our veterans deserve our gratitude,
(33:23):
and this is our chance to salute them and welcome
them home and express that gratitude. Recognize that freedom isn't free.
And tonight your listeners have a little extra time. The
plane once again has hit some snags. That is stopped
in Iowa, of all places to refuel, but it's going
to be on the ground. They're in the air again
now on the way from Iowa. They'll be on the
ground at seven point forty. They'll be marching through the
(33:43):
terminal by eight fifteen. So for folks who thought they
were going to miss out, now they could get here.
Bring your friends, bring your family, wear red, white and Blue.
And here's the old traffic tip. Probably better off coming
in on Clinton or McKinley because Peach Avenue northbound is
down to one lane between the word in the airport
and that can slow things down. So you're probably better
(34:04):
off coming the other way to the airport tonight. But
we'd love to see a bunch of sailors from n
as Lamore already here. The Clovised Community Band will be here,
the Blue Star Bombs. So many awesome groups that make
this possible time after time for our bets.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I love and I hear you say freedom isn't free.
It didn't they're gonna you said, stop and refuel? Are
they on a B seventeen? Can we fly across America?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I have that sounds like nineteen thirty eight travel.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Here's here's part of the deal. We've got seventy three
veterans on this flight, so that's the most we've ever taken.
And they all have a guardian. We have our diurtant,
nurses and doctor and all the support staff. And you
know headwinds. You want to make sure you have enough fuel.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well yeah, I want them to have fuel to.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Be safe and sorry, with the precious cargo.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Indeed, this is the thirty second one that has gone on.
You do you remember back pop quiz what year the
first one took off?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Cow? Could I forget Trevor? I mean October twenty thirteen,
And we didn't know what we were in for, right,
We just knew the valley needed this because there are
more vets in the valley than anywhere else. So from
that very first flight to thirty two later and over
twenty one hundred veterans, the real story is that's who
the people of the value are. They understand they value
that service and sacrifice. Because this is all donations. We're
(35:18):
all volunteers, and time and time again, people like your
listeners have stepped up. So we'll have some check presentations tonight.
Right again, the high schoolers from last Banas a group
that met our vets. When the kids who are here
tonight were in grade school, A group of high schoolers
there at their schools in Las Vanas there for an
FFA convention met our veterans, said we need to make
it possible for more vets to do this. So they
(35:40):
keep raising money and with the donation from a drive
through dinner that they're going to give us tonight. Just
that community is going to be up to one hundred
and eighty thousand dollars towards Central Value Honor Flight, all
because of a couple of high school young ladies who said, Hey,
this is important, let's do something about it. And there's
so many stories like that. It's the communities big and
small throughout our valley that say, yeah, let's honor our vets.
(36:02):
Let's find a way to get more of those vets there.
And with three hundred and fifty Vietnam vets on our
waiting list, we're going to have a few years yet
of raising money to get him there.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Paul explained what these veterans just experience over the last
what forty eight hours, seventy two how many?
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, Yeah, they've experienced things that they never thought they would, right.
They've seen the World War Two memorial, the Korean War memorial,
which they saw today in the rain, in the rain
this morning. They've participated, they watched the changing of the
guard of the two of the Unknown Soldier, and four
of our local vets got to participate in laying a
wreath at that tomb. We had Dave holding a Purple
(36:40):
Heart recipient from here in Presdo. Tim Furman, who was
awarded a Silver Star, a sniper that saved the lives
of many when they were overrun and surrounded. Gary Parnell
has three purple hearts. He was a machine gunner in Vietnam.
And maybe the most emotional of the bunch was Jackie Tripp.
This is the first time we've had a female vetter
and participate in that reclaim. Our whole family are veterans
(37:01):
from the Tachi tribe out in Lamar, and her cousin
was one of those who never came home from Vietnam,
whose name is on that wall. So not only did
she get to see her cousin's name today she got
to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldiers.
But for all the emotions that they felt all day,
the best emotion is going to be the last one
when they see those smiling faces here in Presnel, everyone
(37:21):
wearing red, white and blue, the band plane and all
of us here at the airport cheering at the top
of their lungs. It's a welcome home they didn't get
fifty or sixty years ago. And what a privilege it
is for all of us to give that welcome home
to them tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You know, I think Paul and I fly to Tennessee
and back, that's a full day. I can't imagine being
an older individual with the whole day that you just
said they had, but you derived back and Fresnel exalted.
But that jolt of energy that comes in to the
place and to them, I mean it's almost like the Beatles.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
That was it Lagwardier or JFK in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
It's better than that. I mean it. It's goosebumps every time,
never gets old. There's some people that come every time,
like Shirley and Kathy who just walk by me. They're
going to be sitting here for the next three hours
and they're not going to complain one bit, right. And
then there's people that are coming for the first time
tonight and they're going to be here again October fifteenth
for the next one. But anyone who can hear our
voices right now, I hope they come to the airport
(38:19):
do something that you're going to remember. It's going to
make you proud to be an American, especially on a
day like this, Proud to be an American and proud
to be from the Central Valley.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
You know, Paul, I my thought today and I'll just
share it briefly here. And I know that's not what
they're probably thinking about right now with all the exhilaration
that's coming for these veterans. But seeing that Charlie Kirk video,
the fifteen seconds that I saw, I now wish I
didn't look at And I was starting to think of
these veterans, what they saw, the ones that were in battle,
(38:48):
and in the effect that that would have on them there.
I just had that brief thought today when I was
thinking about what happened in these veterans coming back, how
it makes me feel by just seeing that I didn't
personally know Charlie Kirk. Imagine losing a buddy with a
bullet through the neck like that. So some of the
things they went through.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah, we can't imagine, Trevor, what these veterans experienced, the
what they've seen, what they've endured. So let's give them
the best memory of their life tonight with the welcome
home they richly deserve.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Hey Man, Paul Leuffler, thank you for all your work there.
Mister Honor Flight USA.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's you. That's what your new jacket's going to have
on it.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
All right, thanks for spreading the news.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
God bless you, Paul Leffler, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
He said, if you're coming in, take Clinton O. McKinley
because Peach is down to one lane and they need
to have another airport sign that says Peach coming up
right here. There needs to be another little plane pointing.
I figure that out. I guess I need to talk
to somebody at city council about that. Yeah, if you're
from here, you know it. But the first few times
(39:53):
I went out there, I'm like, wait, is this the one?
It's I don't see the airplane exit, is it? But
you can take Clinton McKinley in on her flight number
thirty two coming back, and we're going to come back
and still talk about it.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I'll open the phone.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
So let's talk at five five nine, two thirty forty
two forty two, Charlie Kirk being assassinated. FBI Director Patel said,
the shooter is in custody, so we'll talk more about
that next on a Yeah, pretty sad day here
I'm going to start it again with the release from
the White House. I read the great, even legendary Charlie
Kirk is dead. No one understood or had the heart
of the youth in the United States of America better
than Charlie. He was loved and admire by all, especially me,
And now he's no longer with It's Malania. My sympathies
go out to his beautiful life, Erica and family. Charlie,
(00:20):
We love you, President Donald J.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
He's also ordered all American flags who out the United
States lord to half mass until Sunday evening at six pm.
If you're just joining having heard this morning, Charlie Kirk
was assassinated on a campus in Utah. The shooter is
now under FBI control. He was loose for a while.
They actually arrested the wrong guy. Had I mean, they
(00:44):
drug that guy out. I was the mob could have
gotten to him. So he was not the right guy.
But many people shock rightfully, so this assassination. Buck Sexton said,
we wake up in a different country tomorrow and we
know what side the violence comes from. And we've been
talking about it and it's escalated. What we saw with
(01:05):
Charlie Kirk if you saw it many people during that
time period where we did not know anything yet from
the hospital. It's like we had that just like self.
We had to know how bad it was. And I
watched a couple of different angles and it was just
embedded in my mind, as many will be. They worked
(01:26):
for Turning Point USA. My next guest. They're in studio,
and I'd like to think Matt g Central California Young
Republicans along with Carly Hall. They both were with Turning Point.
Carly was a chapter president the last three years at
Fresnel State. Matt was a former Turning Point USA Field Rep.
And he worked with Charlie for two and a half years. Matt,
welcome back into the studio. Thank you sad day. Sorry
(01:49):
that I would say a hero, right, hero, I mean
that's that level.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right he thank you for having us, and it's definitely
a sad time to come into the studio, But you know, Charlie,
he opened up the conservative movement for my generation, for
so many people in our age group bracket, and he's
truly a hero among our generations.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Excuse me for interrupting. I had a lady call who
said her son and your generation younger guy, got the
family into it and how they learned and came back
together and got more back into church. And he affects.
He affected all generations. But yes, he knew his core demo.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Definitely. He opened it up for us, and the movement's
never been better, it's never been bigger. And he's truly
an American hero, American patriot.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And I think too, Charlie understood that the movement starts
with the youth because we can only do so much
if we're only focusing on these older generations. So he
really made the youth feel seen, which is a huge
issue that we didn't feel seen before when it came
to politics. And like you said, it was more than
just politics. It was faith, it was values and growing
(02:56):
these in people who had no influence.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So well, I want to stop both of you right
now in your tracks on this day, and I want
to say it's easier for me. I'm a conservative talk
shows you're supposed to be conservative and I am, but
to be young on campuses today, Carly and Matt, thank
you both for for standing here. I mean, that's you're
at that's the front line. Those are the trenches today
(03:22):
and the abuse I'm sure both.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's hard to be young and be conservative, much less
have a position on a campus today. So I plaw
both of you guys for being involved a Turning Point USA. Yeah,
you deserve a lot. Matt, what were your early memories, like,
I know, when it kind of first got got rolling
and all you were at a pretty famous one.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So when I first started working for a Turning Point USA,
it definitely it kind of changed my whole perspective. It
kind of was my first, I guess what you'd call
big boy job. And I remember during staff orientation they
told us the story of how Turning Points started and
how Charlie started the organization and unlike Turning other Republican
conservative organizations, nonprofits, whatever you might call it, starts with
(04:10):
a lot of money, starts with a lot of backing,
starts with the major politician. Charlie started with a card
table from home depot and a mic off his phone,
and he'd go by himself with his friend, with whoever
would come with him, and sometimes he would start, you know,
never even talking to someone that whole day. And it
went from lugging a table on campus by himself, probably
(04:31):
being made fun of getting called names, laughed at to
now having one of the largest followings that we've ever
seen in the movement in politics, and you know you've
seen has proved me wrong tables. They're huge. It went
from one person to thousands of people and that was
definitely something encouraging and something really appreciated that something I
(04:52):
really appreciated seeing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Carly Let me ask you this question, Charlie Kirk. Obviously
the influence the impact that he's had. Have you seen
have you guys been able to change any minds at
Freso State when you were there for three years, did
you see some people open up and have an open
mind to learn?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think that it really
goes beyond just what Charlie did for the conservative movement,
but what Charlie did for our generation as a whole,
because on both the left and the right, there's never
really been somebody who embraced political discourse in such a
way that Charlie did. And so this really taught our
generation and showed us, Look, you can sit down, you
(05:33):
can have a conversation with somebody you disagree with and
you can find a middle ground, or you can agree
to disagree, and we've never really seen anything like that.
So the impact that Charlie is bringing to our modern
world is not just on conservatives, but it's on our
generation as a whole, and really just everyone in America
(05:53):
as a whole, showing us that we can talk to
people we disagree with.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And Trevor, I was going to add, when Charlie sits impact,
he's had a huge impact on our generation now, But
I mean, we don't even know the impact that he's
had on the next fifty years. Because the people now
are going to grow up and they're going to vote
conservative or they're going to live conservatively. They're going to
put these ideas and these morals and these values onto
their children, and they all originated with people like Charlie
(06:18):
Kirk and the movement and his messaging, and so the
impact isn't even comprehendible at this point because it goes
beyond our generation.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He well said both of you.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He stood his ground, he didn't waiver, and that draws
people they know, well, at least I might disagree with him,
but he's telling what he believes to be the truth.
I think that's what a lot of the left issy
came out in and accepted him. I'm sure some of
the mean when he got he would get him good
with the truth. Some of them would end up applauding
him in smiling right. He changed him right there on
(06:51):
the spot. It was almost like an evangelist baptizing them,
and they came out different one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And you can see it all over TikTok Instagram YouTube
you'd see has proved me wrong tables during the election,
and these people would come up, you know, I'm not
sure if I'm going to vote for Trump. I'm not
sure if I'm a conservative, but I don't really like
what's going on in my college campus. I don't really
like what's going on in this country. And he'd you know,
bring up some very important facts. He'd test them a
little bit, and at the end of the day, there's
countless videos of people. You know, I might, I might
(07:17):
vote for Trump this year. I might. I might actually
put a maga hat on. I might actually speak up
against the professor who's trying to kick me out of
class because I have this view on America.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I don't know if I believe him because he's
Governor Satan. But when Newsom said his teenage son said, Dad,
you gotta have Charlie Kirk. Yeah. I mean, coming from news,
you gotta be careful. But yeah, yeah, that was a
It's gonna be one. I'm gonna go back and watch
yeah Beyond.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just like a movement, Charlie also had a way of
lighting a fire within individuals. He made you individually feel
like you can make a difference in the world and
make a difference in the values that you want America
to reflect. And that's really why I think the movement
was so effective, because each and every person out there
felt like they themselves could make a difference, whether that
(08:03):
was voting, whether that was volunteering, no matter what it was.
He was a huge believer in you yourself can make
the difference that you want to see, and I think
that is huge.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
My guest Carlee Hall, she's the former last three years
of presidental state Chapter president for Turning Point USA. And
Matt Gee, he's a former field rep with Turning Point
as well. There were the Central California Young Republicans. Charlie
Kirk assassinated this morning in university in Utah. The shooter
is now in custody. Matt Agent Squires tells me. I'll
(08:37):
ask you. You were at the event done in Ti
Larry Right to Life a week ago when Charlie Kirk
was there.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yes, that was an amazing event. Twenty seven hundred people
sold out the entire auditorium. It was I think Vicelia
First Church. And I was telling Agent Squires that I've
heard Charlie speak, probably with agent agent Agent Squires, that
I've heard Charlie speak at least a thousand times.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The first laugh I've had today, thank.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You, you're welcome. But hear I've heard him speak a
thousand times, and there was something special about you know
what I heard in Visalia. He was on fire. There
was a new fire in his belly. He was speaking
the truth and he did it so just swiftly, and
it was something like I haven't seen it, and I've
seen him speak a thousand times, and I'm just so
(09:25):
appreciative that I got to see that, and that he
sold that place out, and that twenty seven hundred Central
Valley residents got to see that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't really I have some audio and it's not
the time, it's not the day, but you know, people
talking smack about Charlie Kirk, calling him names, calling him
racist and all of that. But I do have one
from your Central Valley dot com Charlie Kirk draws sold
out crowd and protest in Vice Elia. They had this
Vicelia activist quoted on here saying he should not be
(09:56):
welcome in Vice Elia. I don't believe the Vice Elia
PD being here is necessary, Like it's a waste of
taxpayer money.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I think we proved that it was necessary.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, right, I I what was his Uh, it's a
good thing. I'm glad it popped in my head at
some of the events. Did you look around notice what
security was like?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah? So, I actually when I worked for a Turning
Point USA, whenever he'd come to any campus in the
Central Valley, I was there organizing the event. And you know,
his security team has always been top notch. You know,
he's not the President of the United State. He doesn't
get secrets. There's no radar helicopter flying around, so there's
(10:35):
you know, there's really some things that weren't probably ever
thought of. We didn't think we had to do this,
you know, we didn't think some crazy person was going
to go take the life of someone just because, right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You might have some guys around that exactly stop somebody
from Russian on it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But you're not gonna be searching exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I mean security. I remember cal Poly about a year
and a half ago, we brought him and we had
there was a first proven me wrong that sold out
seven hundred plus people, and there was there was policemen
from Sendler's Obispo on top of every building, which they
probably should have been in Utah here, and there was,
you know, a heavy security presence. But at the end
of the day, if someone's really deranged and someone really
wants to as we saw with President Trump's assassination attempt,
(11:14):
they're going to find a way. And it's it's just
really sad that we have this issue of people solving
their disagreements with violence. It's it's so satista that really.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
The left versus the right, we don't see this reversed.
It's this rhetoric and deranged narrative that they push that.
I mean, even us three sitting here today, we're racist,
we're anti democracy, We're a threat, and that's what they
believe about conservatives. And I think that they did this
(11:45):
to Charlie. But ultimately, if they could, if they would
have us all dead, if they.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Could well, there's been a lot of that rhetoric and
it keeps getting amped up and amped up. Of course,
we are praying for the family, and yes, that's the
first thing to do. You know, we feel like, well,
all we can do right now, that's the number one
thing that you need to do. Those two little kids,
his wife, his family, his parents, all all of this.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I saw something on Twitter and it really like kind
of moves here. It's like, you know, two children have
no father and one wife has no husband because you
disagreed with his for like policy on whatever it might be. Like,
is this really where we're at right now?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You know, well, Matt Carly, I know you're no longer
representing Turning Point USA, but it's a great thing if
you have anybody on campus to get involved. But Central
California Young Republicans tell people how to get a hold
of you guys do.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, so we have our Instagram Central Valley YR. You
can get a hold. I also wanted to mention that
we are organizing with the help of pastor Jim Franklin, yeah,
kind of supervisor Nathan Maxick, and Central Valley Young Republicans
a prayer vigil immembrance of Charlie this Sunday at six
pm New Covenant which is over on Maple Land Ees.
(12:56):
And we appreciate our kind of supervisor stepping in and
past and the pastor stepping in.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you're coming at Maple and Knee six day at
six pm this Sunday at six pm.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And anyone who can come. You don't have to be
a called to student or be somebody who's involved, open
to the public. Yeah, any anyone who could come. I
think it's important that we all come together in prayer
right now. So obviously the more the merrier.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And you don't even have to be a republic you
just have to say this is enough. We can't have
this political violence and we have to we have to
come together.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, Matt Carly, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And Chare thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Trevor, all right, we're going to talk to political consultant
tal Cloud. He's going to join us at the bottom
of the hour five twenty Jody Jones. He got to
meet Charlie Kirk, so we're going to get his response
on that. Charlie Kirk assassinated this morning at the age
of thirty one. This is the Trevor Kerry show on
the Valley's Power Talk. Welcome back to the Trevor Carrey
(13:51):
Show and Power Talk ninety six to seven AM, fourteen
hundred and the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And today a life was taken.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Charlie Kirk was first and foremost a husband and a
dad to young children.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yep, and that's who we need to pray for. That's
Utah Governor Spencer Cox. I'll play you more of that
press conference last hour breaking. FBI director Cash Hotel says
the shooter is in custody. He's just joining us and
didn't hear the news earlier today. Charlie Kirk was assassinated
in Utah. That's what Governor Cox called it, an assassination.
(14:35):
Thank you to Carly and Matt for coming in here.
Former turning point USA, and uh it's you know he
he named it turning point. This is definitely a turning point.
Let's see what you have to say about it. Everybody.

And I'm sixteen in high school and I just I
just got I hop.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
On here at Hold are you James? Hold? I'm sixteen sixteen.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
When did you first come across Charlie Kirk and his
his his view of the world.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I heard about him in mid like twenty twenty four,
you know, and the more I listened to him, the
more like he made sense to me, you know, just
kind of clicked to me.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know, man, ask you, James, the youth of today,
sixteen year olds are they? Are they insane in the
membrane as someone like me thinks, I I'm not in
that world. Is there some common sense amongst you and
you and your friends and people you know that you
go to school with.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Sure, I'm be honest with you, no, no, but and
I'm gonna say the same for me. But I thought
I just come on here because this is crazy, man,
you know, like really here, our age people, our age teens,
you know, they're just crazy. Though, you know what I'm saying, like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What what was what was the lockdown like for you?
Not being able to go to school. Let me see,
that was five years. You were like eleven twelve years
old when all that started.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Right, Oh oh yeah, like twelve thirteen. Man, it was
it was crazy to me, you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Know, But what was that did you learn? Did you
learn during that time? Any mid mid.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You know what I'm saying, like not that much, you know, sir?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, thank you for being honest, James. I appreciate it.
I appreciate having a young year listening to the show.
What what?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I uh?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, it's okay to not know, But what do
you kind of want to do with your life when
you get out on your own.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I want to be a day tradder and possibly get
into owning houses, selling houses. You know, a real estate agent.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I uh, I know a real estate agent, one of
my one of my best friends.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can he can point you in the right direction.
Start right now. Whatever you want to do day trading,
you know, start with fifty two dollars. I guess, don't me.
I don't know how to invest in all that, but
I can put you in touch. Hold on, James, I
appreciate you calling the show. I want to get your contact.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you mind.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
True I do not mind.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
All right, we're going to put you into a real
estate and a trader guy there. Look at that, James,
so get his email or something or number there. Director
Ryan Nigel, thank you and that good, but it was
bad to hear him say no. So they're not really normal.
They're all kind of crazy. I was hoping for a
better report card on that one there. But it's affecting
(17:57):
so many different people in the impact that he has
had on so many people, and the American flags. President
Trump's ordered them throughout the United States to be lowered
to half mass till Sunday evening at six pm. I
gotta say, I might be one of these that might
pull over. And if it's an organization, I'm not going
(18:18):
to do it to a private person. I'm just thinking
like clubhouses and like homeowner those kind of things like that,
like you need to lower those down five five nine,
two thirty forty two forty two.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Let's go to Scott in front.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So, Hi, Scott, welcome, Thank you for calling on a
sad day.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Thank you, go ahead. What's on your mind, Scott?
Speaker 8 (18:44):
I'm really upset. I think there's going to be a
civil war coming from this. I really do it. It's
NonStop from the left. It's just even today they're you know,
the idiots on MSNBC and whatever are talking about how
it's his fault.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Let me read your quote, Scott MSNBC. Hateful thoughts lead
to hateful actions, right, how dare?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
How dare?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
It's I'm telling you there's going to be a civil war.
I'm a second one. I'm telling you it's coming. It
may not be this week, may not be this month,
may not be this year. It's coming.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I'm not arguing with you on that. It would be
a dark day in America. I all I know is
that it's in God's hands, and I think I will
know at what point if I keep my relationship right
with him what to do. Right now, I'm not ready
to go pick up a musket and form a militia.
(19:47):
I mean that anger is justifiable, It definitely is. I
have seen many people attacking, like ice pulling out of
rescuing you know, illegal alien care that didn't have anybody
here with them from the weed farm, and they're throwing
rocks and bricks, and I wanted helicopters and marines to
land and to round them up and to send them
(20:10):
to Guantanamo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I did. I got that.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I want military intervention to happen, and I think we needed.
It's already started in DC, looks like it's going to
be starting in Chicago. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
We're sick of the crap, Scott, We're sick of it.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I completely concur Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'm picking up what you're throwing down too, and I
appreciate you calling the show.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
All right, Thank you very much, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Scott and Fresno. Many people feeling this way, but you
also gotta pull it back on the rings again. I'm
not ready for bloodshed across America. That would be a dark,
dark day. But if they continue down this path, what
(20:54):
when I'm saying we're defending against a globalist, communist, Marxist,
leftist revolution of trying to overtake, Yeah, it might come
to that, especially when they're shooting. When they're shooting, let's
go to let's go to Stan in Reidley. Thank you, Stan,
thank you for calling hi there.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Hey, sad day for America and sad day for the
Kirk family.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yes, sir, and I guess the only thing I can say.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Emotions are flying high, but.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I know this.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
I'm gonna rest in the fact that he's in Paradise.
I know that for a fact, and uh.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
He's with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
And I'm gonna leave it at that for today.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I'm not gonna deal with the emotions until tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I like that, Stan, thank you. You know right now,
right now, he's better off than any of us. Now,
he obviously would would have wanted more time. I don't
know if I if I died and went to heaven
right now, would I be like you know what, I
I died too early.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I want to go back and do more of that.
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So great point made right there, See that is I
don't understand. I don't I've never understood this. Even as
a little kid, I didn't understand first time I asked
for what's an atheist?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
What's an agnostic?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And when it was explained to me, I couldn't understand that.
That seems so depressing to me that it's just nothing.
Think how utterly depressing tragedy death are to people that
believe there's nothing. So you left us in the media.
(22:44):
You left this politicians, you governors and mayors of Minnesota.
When those two little kids took a bullet, just like
Charlie Kirk did. And we were talking about prayer, and
you're like, we're beyond that can save if your prayer
even knew some getting in on it. No, that's the point, man,
That's what it's all about. We believe, we trust that
(23:10):
that creator, as a caller in the first hour said,
which I can remember her name, Sorry, ma'am, I don't
remember your name, but.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's written on the scroll the day we go out.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So when we are Christians, we trust that it's all
in his hands, even though we don't understand it, even
though we're we're angry, even justifiable righteous anger, but the
number one thing we can do is pray for his family,
that life, and those kids. I'll take more your calls.
(23:44):
Actually we're gonna be talking. Excuse me, tow Cloud's going
to be joining us next year. I went too long
on this. I see Towel on the line. Hang on, buddy,
political consultant Towle Cloud will be joining us again. Charlie
Kirk assassinated at thirty one.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show, Condom Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Welcome back to the Trevor Carrey show and Power Talk
ninety six seven AM fourteen hundred and the iHeartRadio app
Very Sad Day. Charlie Kirk assassinated in Utah. It's probably
about hour and a half two hours there. We didn't
know if he was alive or dead. It didn't look
good from the video. Political consultant Toal Cloud joins us
on the phone, towel sad day, brother, thank you for
(24:28):
coming on.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah, it's a sad day for our democracy when a
voice like Charlie Kirk gets snuffed out by a lunatic,
it's just a it's an awful day for democracy.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Really.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now, if you were an enemy of the truth, I
think that well he might.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He's top three that you would want to take out
if you didn't want the truth to be spread, especially
amongst the young people of America.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, his skill set bringing the young people to the
table is much like bringing so many of Americans what
Rush Limbaugh did for the conservative purpose, you know he
had he definitely resonated in in the work that he
did with the younger generation was amazing. But you know,
I've been listening to your show and reflecting on other
people's comments and and you know that this is not
the time for a revolution. This is just for time
(25:17):
for people realize it's there's a lot of crazy people
out there, and crazy people being created by policies. I mean,
that poor woman that was stabbed the other day on
the train, the professor that was killed in the park
in Auburn, Alabama. I mean, it's just it's it's happening
daily now, and and a lot of it is related
to these crazy democratic policies, you know, bail and and
(25:40):
and different free bail and different things. It's just people
need to be engaged and not just talk about doing
something or using big words like there's gonna be a you.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Know, a revolution.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
No, I mean, we gotta we have an election.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well you gotta.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You gotta understand that that that anger though, right, I
understand it. I said it'd be a dark day. I'm
not ready to get my musket, but I understand that anger.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's been like a decade of just taking crap from them.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Well it's been a decade, but I don't know. Ever
since COVID, I feel like there's more people that and
we've become more divided because we can't have a civil
conversation I mean, look at Charlie Kirk was out there
having a civil conversation with people. He would talk to anybody,
and he was snuffed out because he would happily talk
to a Democrat and he wouldn't call him an idiot
(26:30):
or a loser or scumbag. He would say, this is
my position, explain yours, and that was great. That's what
made America America. And it's a very sad day for us.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But he was a Republican, very conservative, and the Republican
Party's not famous these days for saying we're not gonna
listen to you, shut up, and calling names and protesting
and hurling bricks and rocks. It really is an attack.
Let me ask you, tal your predictions have been spot
on over the time I've known you. Will this be
(27:02):
and I'll use the word turning point for some Democrats
and their policies.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I wish I could say yes. The problem is it
takes leadership, It takes good messaging, it takes follow through,
It takes you know, advocating and arguing your points to
move the policy needle. And I think it's gonna get demagogue,
It's gonna get you know, people are gonna forget about
(27:30):
it in three weeks and it's not gonna be long lasting.
And that's that's what I'm so concerned about with this country,
is that, you know, because the Trump economy is not
on fire within ninety days, people are saying he's not
doing good on the economy. It's going to take time,
and it takes hard work to move the needle. So
I wish I could say this could move the needle,
(27:52):
but it's not going to move the needle unless people
get engaged. I guess, like engage them for more than
a minute.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I guess I'll say Van Jones, I haven't played the audio.
I'm really just focused on the loss. But he said
last night about you know, Charlie Kirk over the young
lady getting stabbed on the train in Charlotte and calling
them a racist, those kinds of things. You think that's
what I mean by maybe turning point for some of
these mouthpieces and maybe even some politicians that they might
(28:22):
realize we need.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
To pull this back. We said it after Trump and
they didn't. So maybe I'm asking a stupid question.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
See it. I don't see it, because that's how that's
what creates ratings. Look at I've I've done commercial and
TV commercials. And if you talk about, you know, an
issue as it relates to an issue, very simplistic and
on point. It's hard to get people's attention. You say
bombastic things, people listen. And unfortunately that's the that's the
(28:50):
world we live in now. And I and this, this
is very unfortunate that this happened for a good American
just doing what he thought right. And I would be
just as appalled if it was Rosy you know, or
somebody on the left, right Van Jones.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, that's how that's how the right is though. See
it's a it's a glaring difference in our society where
the trouble's coming from. Did you watch the video any
of that cell phone video?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
I did, Yeah, yes I did, And it's I mean,
it's it's hard to get that that vision out of
my mind. And if anybody you know has any any
animasity told Charlie Kirk, no one deserves what he went
through right there, and it's unfortunate for his family. But
I'm I'm just going to keep coming back. You know,
(29:37):
We've had a lot of these incidents, and when is
it going to be someone in Fresno. I mean, you know,
it's Auburn, it's it's North Carolina. It's going to happen here,
and we've got to stop this, and we its it
gets going to get stopped by removing Democrats and their
liberal policies and not allowing Gavin Newsom to pull through
(29:57):
with his Prop fifty fiasco that lets him choose the
politicians for the people versus the people choose our politicians.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You know, Prop fifty jerry mandering more Democrats and more
liberal policies. People will die from the vote on Prop fifty.
Speaker 7 (30:14):
They with the policies of the Democrats in this state
has caused many lives. And this didn't cause per Se
Charlie Kirk's lives, but it's coused many lives, just like
it has in Chicago, just like it has in New York.
And you know, when Trump's putting people into cities to
make them safer, good for him. And if you're a
(30:34):
citizen in that city, you want to be safe. We're lucky.
We have a sheriff and a DA and and you know,
and police chiefs that care about crime here, but others don't.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
But their hands are so tired too by Sacramento and
the laws.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Well, their hands are tired, but they're not. We look
at the sheriff man's and Zanoni and Dyer and all
the other leaders in Smith Camp. They've found ways to
make friends more conservative than la.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well yeah, yeah, I'll give you that, But I'm just saying,
like you know, the sanctuary they can't work with eyes.
You know, they got a lot of things that they
have to face with Sacramento arresting people and then you know,
new some opening the jail cell doors.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
We come back to Charlie Kirk. This is just this
is a travesty, and I think every American should be appalled.
But if you're frustrated, find a way to do something good,
help help create change, because talking about it, unfortunately is Charlie.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Charlie didn't use his fist, did he. He used his mind,
in his mouth and his soul, and he did it
so eloquently.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yes, all right, tal.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Listening while you're there, Thank you for what you do.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Do you thank you for coming home what you do
as well? Tell cloud ladies and gentlemen appreciate you. Tell
uh we're going to come back. And the reason that
we all might need a little break from this. We're
going to talk with the voice of US All State
Athletics and a mister Honor Flight USA. Paul Leffler's going
to join us life from the airport. We got some
veterans coming back, and I think of I keep seeing that.
(32:10):
I watched a video of Charlie Kirk taking the bullet
to the neck that took his life, and I still
see it, and I think of many of these veterans
flying back. Well, they've had to replay in their head
over their lives. So we're celebrating the thirty second Honor Flight.
It returns, it's landing. Paul will give us the ETA
(32:31):
and all the festivities. We'll talk to him from the airport.
Next the Assistant Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Welcome back to the Trevor Carey Show on Power Talk
ninety six seven A and fourteen hundred and the iHeart
Radio app A rather sad day. Thanks for all the calls,
thanks for thanks for the guests, and I'm going to
go to Paul Leffler here for some good news. Paul Leffler,
(32:52):
Voice of President of State Athletics and mister Honor Flight USA.
Welcome to the show, Paul, Hey, thank you, Trevor, and yeah,
what a tragic day in America.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
But I'll tell you it underscores the contrast and we
feel the division in our country, but Central Valley on
our flight is one of those things that reminds us
we don't have to be divided. In this crowd at
the airport tonight, you'll have people across the political spectrum,
every religion, every ethnicity, every tax bracket, none of that
stuff matters. What matters is our veterans deserve our gratitude,
(33:23):
and this is our chance to salute them and welcome
them home and express that gratitude. Recognize that freedom isn't free.
And tonight your listeners have a little extra time. The
plane once again has hit some snags. That is stopped
in Iowa, of all places to refuel, but it's going
to be on the ground. They're in the air again
now on the way from Iowa. They'll be on the
ground at seven point forty. They'll be marching through the
(33:43):
terminal by eight fifteen. So for folks who thought they
were going to miss out, now they could get here.
Bring your friends, bring your family, wear red, white and Blue.
And here's the old traffic tip. Probably better off coming
in on Clinton or McKinley because Peach Avenue northbound is
down to one lane between the word in the airport
and that can slow things down. So you're probably better
(34:04):
off coming the other way to the airport tonight. But
we'd love to see a bunch of sailors from n
as Lamore already here. The Clovised Community Band will be here,
the Blue Star Bombs. So many awesome groups that make
this possible time after time for our bets.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I love and I hear you say freedom isn't free.
It didn't they're gonna you said, stop and refuel? Are
they on a B seventeen? Can we fly across America?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I have that sounds like nineteen thirty eight travel.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Here's here's part of the deal. We've got seventy three
veterans on this flight, so that's the most we've ever taken.
And they all have a guardian. We have our diurtant,
nurses and doctor and all the support staff. And you
know headwinds. You want to make sure you have enough fuel.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well yeah, I want them to have fuel to.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Be safe and sorry, with the precious cargo.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Indeed, this is the thirty second one that has gone on.
You do you remember back pop quiz what year the
first one took off?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Cow? Could I forget Trevor? I mean October twenty thirteen,
And we didn't know what we were in for, right,
We just knew the valley needed this because there are
more vets in the valley than anywhere else. So from
that very first flight to thirty two later and over
twenty one hundred veterans, the real story is that's who
the people of the value are. They understand they value
that service and sacrifice. Because this is all donations. We're
(35:18):
all volunteers, and time and time again, people like your
listeners have stepped up. So we'll have some check presentations tonight.
Right again, the high schoolers from last Banas a group
that met our vets. When the kids who are here
tonight were in grade school, A group of high schoolers
there at their schools in Las Vanas there for an
FFA convention met our veterans, said we need to make
it possible for more vets to do this. So they
(35:40):
keep raising money and with the donation from a drive
through dinner that they're going to give us tonight. Just
that community is going to be up to one hundred
and eighty thousand dollars towards Central Value Honor Flight, all
because of a couple of high school young ladies who said, Hey,
this is important, let's do something about it. And there's
so many stories like that. It's the communities big and
small throughout our valley that say, yeah, let's honor our vets.
(36:02):
Let's find a way to get more of those vets there.
And with three hundred and fifty Vietnam vets on our
waiting list, we're going to have a few years yet
of raising money to get him there.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Paul explained what these veterans just experience over the last
what forty eight hours, seventy two how many?
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, Yeah, they've experienced things that they never thought they would, right.
They've seen the World War Two memorial, the Korean War memorial,
which they saw today in the rain, in the rain
this morning. They've participated, they watched the changing of the
guard of the two of the Unknown Soldier, and four
of our local vets got to participate in laying a
wreath at that tomb. We had Dave holding a Purple
(36:40):
Heart recipient from here in Presdo. Tim Furman, who was
awarded a Silver Star, a sniper that saved the lives
of many when they were overrun and surrounded. Gary Parnell
has three purple hearts. He was a machine gunner in Vietnam.
And maybe the most emotional of the bunch was Jackie Tripp.
This is the first time we've had a female vetter
and participate in that reclaim. Our whole family are veterans
(37:01):
from the Tachi tribe out in Lamar, and her cousin
was one of those who never came home from Vietnam,
whose name is on that wall. So not only did
she get to see her cousin's name today she got
to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldiers.
But for all the emotions that they felt all day,
the best emotion is going to be the last one
when they see those smiling faces here in Presnel, everyone
(37:21):
wearing red, white and blue, the band plane and all
of us here at the airport cheering at the top
of their lungs. It's a welcome home they didn't get
fifty or sixty years ago. And what a privilege it
is for all of us to give that welcome home
to them tonight.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
You know, I think Paul and I fly to Tennessee
and back, that's a full day. I can't imagine being
an older individual with the whole day that you just
said they had, but you derived back and Fresnel exalted.
But that jolt of energy that comes in to the
place and to them, I mean it's almost like the Beatles.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
That was it Lagwardier or JFK in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
It's better than that. I mean it. It's goosebumps every time,
never gets old. There's some people that come every time,
like Shirley and Kathy who just walk by me. They're
going to be sitting here for the next three hours
and they're not going to complain one bit, right. And
then there's people that are coming for the first time
tonight and they're going to be here again October fifteenth
for the next one. But anyone who can hear our
voices right now, I hope they come to the airport
(38:19):
do something that you're going to remember. It's going to
make you proud to be an American, especially on a
day like this, Proud to be an American and proud
to be from the Central Valley.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
You know, Paul, I my thought today and I'll just
share it briefly here. And I know that's not what
they're probably thinking about right now with all the exhilaration
that's coming for these veterans. But seeing that Charlie Kirk video,
the fifteen seconds that I saw, I now wish I
didn't look at And I was starting to think of
these veterans, what they saw, the ones that were in battle,
(38:48):
and in the effect that that would have on them there.
I just had that brief thought today when I was
thinking about what happened in these veterans coming back, how
it makes me feel by just seeing that I didn't
personally know Charlie Kirk. Imagine losing a buddy with a
bullet through the neck like that. So some of the
things they went through.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah, we can't imagine, Trevor, what these veterans experienced, the
what they've seen, what they've endured. So let's give them
the best memory of their life tonight with the welcome
home they richly deserve.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Hey Man, Paul Leuffler, thank you for all your work there.
Mister Honor Flight USA.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's you. That's what your new jacket's going to have
on it.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
All right, thanks for spreading the news.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
God bless you, Paul Leffler, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
He said, if you're coming in, take Clinton O. McKinley
because Peach is down to one lane and they need
to have another airport sign that says Peach coming up
right here. There needs to be another little plane pointing.
I figure that out. I guess I need to talk
to somebody at city council about that. Yeah, if you're
from here, you know it. But the first few times
(39:53):
I went out there, I'm like, wait, is this the one?
It's I don't see the airplane exit, is it? But
you can take Clinton McKinley in on her flight number
thirty two coming back, and we're going to come back
and still talk about it.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I'll open the phone.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
So let's talk at five five nine, two thirty forty
two forty two, Charlie Kirk being assassinated. FBI Director Patel said,
the shooter is in custody, so we'll talk more about
that next on a Yeah, pretty sad day here
