Speaker 1 (00:00):
So here's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're reading raffle ticket numbers and we're also in the
middle of our show, right.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Yeah, so we were multitasking, ladies. That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
But you had a really good story that you wanted
to share.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Something that Oh, no, I had something to answer what
you were looking for. At the beginning of the show,
you said, why do we care so much about our animals?
What makes us want to have these animals in our lives?
Particularly dogs? There's a lot of dog people who are
out here today. But I looked up a little bit
of history for you, mindy, how long do you think
people have been keeping dogs.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
As pets when they domesticated them, When.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
They domesticated them, keeping them.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
As pets, hundreds of years, as far back as fourteen thousand,
two hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Now I didn't realize it was that long.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
There was evidence of a human buried alongsided dog. The
Simithsonian has all this interesting information on it, and part
of it was, and this isn't going to surprise you,
early pets.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Some of them are known for hunting. They were hunting.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Companions for folks who went out and went hunting. But
ancient cultures like the Egyptians. The Egyptians love their dogs.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Think about it.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Oh my gosh, yes, i'd all love the crips and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They almost idolized them, really they did. Some of them
were mummified with the own exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And then then the Roman period that was kind of
a companionship period for within the home itself.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And then the idea of dogs is.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Beloved family members, not just working animals, became more widespread
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
What you're thinking.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
About, so that was lovely and you know, that's the
reason we love them. They are part of our families
for the last few hundred years, part of the home.
Not a working animal for us, but part of the home.
And I think so many of us feel that they.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Just add so much joy to our lives so much.
It's it's people get so people who've never had a dog,
they get so confused and they're like, what do you
mean you're taking your dog with you?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What do you mean you're doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They don't understand because they've never had one. But when
you do, when you finally have a dog and it's
your own, not just one that you're grown up with
in the family because it was a family pet.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
But when you.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Decide to have your own dog or cat, you know,
I focus so much on dogs because that's what that's
my love of my life for dogs. Yeah, but I'm
talking about any animal that you bring in and make
it a pet. It just is so worth it because
of the love and the companionship. Sometimes you feel alone
in this world and there's a lot of bullying in
school with kids, and you go home, you don't have
anybody and not a friend in sight. No, but if
(02:25):
you have a dog, you're absolutely non judgment. So this
is normally our good News segment, which is always sponsored.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
By Tattletale Portable Alarm.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
System Tattletale Portable Alarms.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Brian has a dog.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
He does have a dog.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But you know what, I've always thought, I don't need
an alarm system.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I have four dogs.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
But now that I have my little place in India Lake,
we're not always there.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I can't call the police.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It is such a great peace of mind to know
that we are protected by Tattletale twenty four to seven.
When we leave that place, it's a whole different feeling. Mikayla,
it really is.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, you've really appreciated it, and it's so easy, and
it was like plug it in and put it on.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So you have a really good news story.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, but I think you kind of know because I
kind of hinted to you. I haven't been able to
tell hardly anybody this why, but I did tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I hinted around, hinted, and then you know, I'm tight
with a person who this happened with, and so she
gave me a call.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So I know.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I think if this is the story that I think
it is.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't think. So. Okay, well this is going to
take place tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh, then I don't know what this is.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So tomorrow my life is going to change forever. Oh,
because you and I in this business have interviewed so
many people. I mean, think of all the people we've interviewed.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
She stepped away from the mic with her mouth gaping open.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Step back to the mic.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I do know what this Oh my god, So it's
actually happening. No, told a couple of weeks ago that
there was a good chance that I'm gonna be able.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
A lot of people are like, this is no big deal.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But it is to me because think of the most
favorite famous person you could ever have in your life, Like,
who's your favorite? If you could meet anybody, who would
be it was an actor? Is it an actress, a songwriter,
a singer.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I mean, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I don't know if I have exactly one, but you
know I do kind of people, and you actually have.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
One that I grew up as a little teeny girl.
My mom and I listened religiously to Barry Manelo and
we went to so many different Barry Manilo concerts. I
mean one time we were driving from one city to
a next. I forget even why we were driving, and
on the road sign there was, you know, a sign
that was flashing Berry Manelo Concert traffic this way, and
I'm like, we're going, We're gonna see there's any extra tickets.
(04:32):
It was an outdoor amphitheater, and by golly, we got in.
It's just so many concerts, so many times we would
see him in person, We would listen to his music
day in and day.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Out, year in and year out.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, he has a major announcement and they reached out
to the good people at nation Wide Arena.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Barry Manelo's people reached out to the people at Nationwide.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
They said do you know someone who would enjoy interviewing
Berry to share this good news? They reached out right away,
and I was so touched. I'm like, are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Is this for real?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Am I being punked?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right? Am I being punked? Are you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Am I flying out to California to interview Berry Manlow?
They're like, no, but you are going to interview him
by satellite. So tomorrow afternoon, I get to actually interview
Barry because he's going to have a farewell tour. When
I took Mom to go to his last concert, which
we felt in our hearts, that was announced as well
(05:25):
that it was Barry Manilow's final concert, final time he
would be here. Now he performs at Vegas a lot, yes,
but the final time to go tour.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The man's eighty two years old.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It's amazing, eighty two.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Years old, and he's making one more farewell tour. Five
different states. That's it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And Ohio is one of the five. And there's nine cities.
Oh so Barry is coming back into town. I can't
say when, I can't give you the details.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Ye, you'll know soon.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I actually get to sit down and interview Verry
much like get a quarter to one. It won't be live.
We're gonna record it. But do you know what, I'm
a little nervous for this one, and I don't get
nervous to interview anybody.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So what is the one question that you've really been
wanting to ask him? If you have to look back
at your entire history with your mom and enjoying his music,
you know so much about him, is there one particular
question that you really really want to ask?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
How do you look so good at eighty two years old? No,
I'm just doing what.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
He has changed so many lives.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's very Manlow is known for his love songs, his melody,
his voice, but his music is so powerful. I want
to know what it feels like to have that effect
on millions of people across the world, the lives they've changed.
He has made people feel so much better about life.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Really, I do wonder what it feels like to know
that different And if you feel like you've been blessed
with this gift and you are just so balanced and
full of peace because you do it, or if there's
pressure to it, you know, Yeah, I'd be very curious
what he would say to that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Because he's been my number one singer and songwriter literally
since I was yee hi to Now I know all
of his history. I know he got started because of
his grandpa. His grandpa took him to a little singing
recording studio. Then that's what they had back in the day,
you would go and record your voice. And he even
made a song from that recording. You can hear his
grandpa sing sing it, sing it Berry, Barry sing it,
(07:22):
sing it Berry, Happy Birthday? Do you sing it Berry?
And he was like, happy Birthday, and he didn't want
to sing it, but he really started singing through his
grandfather got a great story. There's so many stories, but
his music tell stories.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I listen to what my kids listen to today. There's
no storytelling in those songs for most of them. I
mean I'm talking about like the or they play rap.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
And the hidden code inside side, you know the song
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Barry just is like from the heart.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
From the heart, just beautiful music, and even has a
song called beautiful Music. I want to ask him about Mandy.
His very first number one hit was Mandy. I'm like,
why why didn't you change the aid to an?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I could have been Mindy could have been mindy years,
you know how many years?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know how many years His very first hit of
Mandy number one hit was in nineteen seventy five. That
was his first number number fifty years ago. Who has
been for that long you and still I mean, I
mean musicians wise, and still still drawing in crowds. Because
when Mom and I were there two years ago, it
was exactly two years ago. I was so happy to
(08:28):
bring her there, and my family was like, you're crazy,
You're crazy to bring Mom. You're gonna trapes her in
in a wheelchair, bring her down there in the nationwide
arena crowd and all that. I'm like, absolutely, I want
to do this for Mom.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
And she was able to take her into the wheelchair
section to be able to make sure she was able
to get oh, and they set her up with a
with a Keepsake album and a hat and a shirt
and we got this great picture together, not with Barry,
but just with us and with you know, but to
see her with her.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
One arm, because you know, one arm call she lost
her other arm to sarcoma. She had her one arm
in the air, waving it back and forth, doing it
to the beat of the music. He played her favorite
song was It's a miracle, miracle, And I'm telling you,
I'm so glad I had that moment. I hope I
get the chance to tell him that little bit of
a story, just to let him know that you've touched
(09:18):
so many people's lives with even this little girl in
Central Ohio and her mom, because two months later mom passed.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'm so glad to have given her that moment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So I couldn't wait to share that with everybody. It'll
be coming soon to Spectrum. I get to interview Barry Manilo.
If you could interview anybody, honestly, who.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Would it be?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You know who I really want to interview right now?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
No, the Pope, do you?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I do do?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'm Catholic, I'm from Illinois originally, right, and he's from Chicago.
And no one ever thought that in our lifetimes we
would have an American pope. And I'm getting to go
over to the Vatican in what two weeks now, I'll
be over at the Vatican, and unfortunately, I don't think
I'm going to be able to be part of the
papal audience because it's not on the day we'll be
in Rome.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
But I would want to know what is it like
to be in the world as we see it right now.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
We're going to talk a bit a little bit about
that coming up in the next hour. And how do
you speak to the generations that are out there right now,
jen Alpha, gen Z, jen X, millennials, boomers, and what
is the message and what is it like to be
a kid from Chicago?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Who really did this?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I mean he went and he spent many years in
South America. But right now, I think the one person
would be Poplio. Yeah, I would really like to interview.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I could understand that, Larry.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
If you had the chance our producer Larry, to interview
anybody or to meet somebody, who would it be as
you were growing up as a little boy, who did
you look up to the most or did you enjoy
watching or listening to? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I got nothing, But if I could interview anyone today,
probably Paul McCartney.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Oh McCartney would have some interesting stories.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Because of the stories you would you ask him, what
was it really like writing with John Lennon? How much
of that was truly the collaboration between the two of you,
and how much of it was you were writing one
song he was writing another. What was the piece of it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You're a big Beatles fan, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
No, You're not.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, I just curious.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I just.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Most of the Beatles' music is very well orchestrated, so
I've been exposed to it a lot through.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Playing Oh God, it's the you.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Know, you can tell who whose fingerprints were on it,
realised on how the chords go, how it works.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
So you really think they really did a dual job
on a lot of it. That's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think there's always those people that we think to ourselves,
if we could meet this person, what would we say,
what would we do?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I just think that's that's part of life. We grow
up and we look up to people. We always inspire
to be better people. A lot of us do not everybody.
And you have that one person that creates a mile
marker in your heart and in your mind, and you
want to kind of be like that person. And I
think we're going to talk about Charlie Kirk coming up
in the next hour here, and I think that young man,
(11:59):
at thirty one years old, was that piece of the
pie for millions and millions of people, especially college aids kids.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That was his mantra, that was what he wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He wanted to go in and he never preached like
this is why you need to believe what I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He never that.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
He just wanted people to see another point of view
and he wanted to reason with them and to give
them a microphone. That's why he's being celebrated for hours today.
This funeral started at two in the afternoon. Larry's it's
still going on. Larry's been able to watch it and
keep us monitoring Cardinals states going on. They were in
State Farm Stadium.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
State Farm STADIU where the Cardinals play in and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Then because of the overflow because it seats seventy thousand,
but more and more so that that it's over in
Diamondbackfield across the street, so they have an overflow. That
man touched the lives and he created change in a
very good way. When you look at the millions of
people who are now going to church and finding Jesus because.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Of Charlie kirk Well, and honestly, people have been exposed
to who he was since his death as well.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
People people don't even knowestions.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean I knew his name, I didn't know much
about him, So yeah, We're going to dive into some
of that and also how folks are dealing with it,
kind of from an emotional standpoint, grieving, questioning all those things,
because we all know people like that. With Anne Hirst
with open arms counseling coming up, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Had so many questions because you were irate that your
young boys saw the footage. They saw the video like
so many of us did, of Charlie Kirk being shot,
and at that young age, you don't ever want your
children to have to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No you don't. So we'll talk with Ann.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
If you haven't had a conversation with those in your family,
you have seen and I think it's important she'll give
us some guidance. Coming up in the next hour, actually
the next segment. This is what matters on six' TEN
wtv in
So here's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're reading raffle ticket numbers and we're also in the

and I was so touched. I'm like, are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Is this for real?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Am I being punked?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right? Am I being punked? Are you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Am I flying out to California to interview Berry Manlow?
They're like, no, but you are going to interview him
by satellite. So tomorrow afternoon, I get to actually interview
Barry because he's going to have a farewell tour. When
I took Mom to go to his last concert, which
we felt in our hearts, that was announced as well
(05:25):
that it was Barry Manilow's final concert, final time he
would be here. Now he performs at Vegas a lot, yes,
but the final time to go tour.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The man's eighty two years old.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It's amazing, eighty two.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Years old, and he's making one more farewell tour. Five
different states. That's it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And Ohio is one of the five. And there's nine cities.
Oh so Barry is coming back into town. I can't
say when, I can't give you the details.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Ye, you'll know soon.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I actually get to sit down and interview Verry
much like get a quarter to one. It won't be live.
We're gonna record it. But do you know what, I'm
a little nervous for this one, and I don't get
nervous to interview anybody.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So what is the one question that you've really been
wanting to ask him? If you have to look back
at your entire history with your mom and enjoying his music,
you know so much about him, is there one particular
question that you really really want to ask?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
How do you look so good at eighty two years old? No,
I'm just doing what.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
He has changed so many lives.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's very Manlow is known for his love songs, his melody,
his voice, but his music is so powerful. I want
to know what it feels like to have that effect
on millions of people across the world, the lives they've changed.
He has made people feel so much better about life.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Really, I do wonder what it feels like to know
that different And if you feel like you've been blessed
with this gift and you are just so balanced and
full of peace because you do it, or if there's
pressure to it, you know, Yeah, I'd be very curious
what he would say to that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Because he's been my number one singer and songwriter literally
since I was yee hi to Now I know all
of his history. I know he got started because of
his grandpa. His grandpa took him to a little singing
recording studio. Then that's what they had back in the day,
you would go and record your voice. And he even
made a song from that recording. You can hear his
grandpa sing sing it, sing it Berry, Barry sing it,
(07:22):
sing it Berry, Happy Birthday? Do you sing it Berry?
And he was like, happy Birthday, and he didn't want
to sing it, but he really started singing through his
grandfather got a great story. There's so many stories, but
his music tell stories.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I listen to what my kids listen to today. There's
no storytelling in those songs for most of them. I
mean I'm talking about like the or they play rap.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
And the hidden code inside side, you know the song
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Barry just is like from the heart.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
From the heart, just beautiful music, and even has a
song called beautiful Music. I want to ask him about Mandy.
His very first number one hit was Mandy. I'm like,
why why didn't you change the aid to an?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I could have been Mindy could have been mindy years,
you know how many years?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know how many years His very first hit of
Mandy number one hit was in nineteen seventy five. That
was his first number number fifty years ago. Who has
been for that long you and still I mean, I
mean musicians wise, and still still drawing in crowds. Because
when Mom and I were there two years ago, it
was exactly two years ago. I was so happy to
(08:28):
bring her there, and my family was like, you're crazy,
You're crazy to bring Mom. You're gonna trapes her in
in a wheelchair, bring her down there in the nationwide
arena crowd and all that. I'm like, absolutely, I want
to do this for Mom.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
And she was able to take her into the wheelchair
section to be able to make sure she was able
to get oh, and they set her up with a
with a Keepsake album and a hat and a shirt
and we got this great picture together, not with Barry,
but just with us and with you know, but to
see her with her.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
One arm, because you know, one arm call she lost
her other arm to sarcoma. She had her one arm
in the air, waving it back and forth, doing it
to the beat of the music. He played her favorite
song was It's a miracle, miracle, And I'm telling you,
I'm so glad I had that moment. I hope I
get the chance to tell him that little bit of
a story, just to let him know that you've touched
(09:18):
so many people's lives with even this little girl in
Central Ohio and her mom, because two months later mom passed.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'm so glad to have given her that moment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So I couldn't wait to share that with everybody. It'll
be coming soon to Spectrum. I get to interview Barry Manilo.
If you could interview anybody, honestly, who.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Would it be?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You know who I really want to interview right now?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
No, the Pope, do you?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I do do?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'm Catholic, I'm from Illinois originally, right, and he's from Chicago.
And no one ever thought that in our lifetimes we
would have an American pope. And I'm getting to go
over to the Vatican in what two weeks now, I'll
be over at the Vatican, and unfortunately, I don't think
I'm going to be able to be part of the
papal audience because it's not on the day we'll be
in Rome.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
But I would want to know what is it like
to be in the world as we see it right now.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
We're going to talk a bit a little bit about
that coming up in the next hour. And how do
you speak to the generations that are out there right now,
jen Alpha, gen Z, jen X, millennials, boomers, and what
is the message and what is it like to be
a kid from Chicago?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Who really did this?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I mean he went and he spent many years in
South America. But right now, I think the one person
would be Poplio. Yeah, I would really like to interview.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I could understand that, Larry.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
If you had the chance our producer Larry, to interview
anybody or to meet somebody, who would it be as
you were growing up as a little boy, who did
you look up to the most or did you enjoy
watching or listening to? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I got nothing, But if I could interview anyone today,
probably Paul McCartney.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Oh McCartney would have some interesting stories.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Because of the stories you would you ask him, what
was it really like writing with John Lennon? How much
of that was truly the collaboration between the two of you,
and how much of it was you were writing one
song he was writing another. What was the piece of it.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You're a big Beatles fan, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
No, You're not.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, I just curious.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I just.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Most of the Beatles' music is very well orchestrated, so
I've been exposed to it a lot through.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Playing Oh God, it's the you.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Know, you can tell who whose fingerprints were on it,
realised on how the chords go, how it works.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
So you really think they really did a dual job
on a lot of it. That's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think there's always those people that we think to ourselves,
if we could meet this person, what would we say,
what would we do?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I just think that's that's part of life. We grow
up and we look up to people. We always inspire
to be better people. A lot of us do not everybody.
And you have that one person that creates a mile
marker in your heart and in your mind, and you
want to kind of be like that person. And I
think we're going to talk about Charlie Kirk coming up
in the next hour here, and I think that young man,
(11:59):
at thirty one years old, was that piece of the
pie for millions and millions of people, especially college aids kids.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That was his mantra, that was what he wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He wanted to go in and he never preached like
this is why you need to believe what I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He never that.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
He just wanted people to see another point of view
and he wanted to reason with them and to give
them a microphone. That's why he's being celebrated for hours today.
This funeral started at two in the afternoon. Larry's it's
still going on. Larry's been able to watch it and
keep us monitoring Cardinals states going on. They were in
State Farm Stadium.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
State Farm STADIU where the Cardinals play in and.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Then because of the overflow because it seats seventy thousand,
but more and more so that that it's over in
Diamondbackfield across the street, so they have an overflow. That
man touched the lives and he created change in a
very good way. When you look at the millions of
people who are now going to church and finding Jesus because.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Of Charlie kirk Well, and honestly, people have been exposed
to who he was since his death as well.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
People people don't even knowestions.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean I knew his name, I didn't know much
about him, So yeah, We're going to dive into some
of that and also how folks are dealing with it,
kind of from an emotional standpoint, grieving, questioning all those things,
because we all know people like that. With Anne Hirst
with open arms counseling coming up, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Had so many questions because you were irate that your
young boys saw the footage. They saw the video like
so many of us did, of Charlie Kirk being shot,
and at that young age, you don't ever want your
children to have to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No you don't. So we'll talk with Ann.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
If you haven't had a conversation with those in your family,
you have seen and I think it's important she'll give
us some guidance. Coming up in the next hour, actually
the next segment. This is what matters on six' TEN

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
