Kash Patel
News from the director of the FBI, Cash Patel. The subject of the shooting, the person believed to have been the shooter, has been taken into custody. This is about two minutes ago. Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with at FBI. We'll provide updates when able. We just got that word from Kash Patel. That's a pretty quick, that's a pretty quick turn on someone who probably left the scene, right?
- [01:13]
Unidentified Commentator
I would imagine that person left the scene quickly. But again, with the FBI's vast resources, they can bring in audio, visual recognition and they can bring in their vast investigative authorities and their skill and professionalism with our state and local partners and and make sure that we can make that arrest like they did just now. Congratulations to the FBI and its partners.

Rob Carson
On that is from John Solomon on Just the News this morning. Just a few minutes ago actually, I found that. So we're waiting on an update on all of that. Welcome to the show. We've got three hours together. I know that many of you been waiting to to watch and listen to the show today. I can tell by the number of people who watched what I put up just a little while ago about what we're going to talk about today on the show is a gigant and the reason being is you need me and I need you. Yesterday was not a turning point. Yesterday was the turning point and the young man who created a movement in America like we've never seen before, the greatest political movement in conservatism since the rise of Rush Limbaugh for another generation. Yesterday he was assassinated. It is as impactful or more so than the assassination of Bobby Kennedy because Charlie Kirk had been on the scene for 13 years. He started TPSUA in Tbusa in 2012 and he grew it into the most dynamic, incredible engagement of young people politically based on faith, based on truth, based on founding principles. It was a rebirth. He created a rebirth for all of those things Charlie Kirk did. It was remarkable. And the left had to kill him because in just the last couple of decades I've been seeing on campus conservatism demonized people saying that conservative thought is violence, conservative words are violence. Watching people like Ann Coulter driven off campus before they could speak and Ben Shapiro being driven off campus before they could speak and hundreds of people showing up to protest his speeches. And we went from that to Charlie Kirk for the first time in history, bringing thousands of people to see him speak in America's most liberal universities. And they showed up proudly. And he debated those who disagreed with him in a civil fashion based on facts, based on morality, based on our foundings. He changed the world. He changed decades of absolute censorship, one sided viewpoints on America's campuses which had become indoctrination factories. He had to be killed by the left. They can't stand the debate. They can't stand the debate. And today we have 9 11. Yesterday was 911 in many ways, clearly not in all of them. But it is interesting that his murder, his assassination occurred the day before this anniversary. Charlie Kirk was 8 years old when it happened. Many of you gen zers were either very small, barely remember it, or not born at all. Not born at all. I've been doing this a number of years and I remember the first time that I had to go on air after a horrific event. I remember being a sophomore in college and having to break the news on our big radio station in little Maryville, Missouri on Northwest Missouri State, the Shuttle Challenger disaster and watching it in real time and then having to go in and crack the microphone and explain to the listeners what had happened. I remember 9 11. I was working in a radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio and I'd gotten off the air and I went out and my boss said, rob, go back in on the air. A plane has hit the World Trade Center. And I went in, even though I did a music radio program and I broke the news and as I was speaking the second plane crashed into the Second World Tower, World Trade center tower. And I knew it was all deliberate. I was doing a music morning show then and to this day it is a, an open wound for me. It's never closed. I there are things that happen that it seems like yesterday that it happened. There's a song that I may play on the show today that I wasn't able to listen to until about 10 years ago. Fourteen years after 911 and and I still only hear it once a year and it still wrecks me. 911 to me and those of my generation Gen Z certainly. And, and our Gen Gen X and, and millennials. We, we Pearl harbor meant to our parents or grandparents. My father was a World War II veteran. He signed up for service after Pearl harbor and he was sent to Panama to guard the Panama Canal. His brother Lloyd went to Germany. His brother Gail was on a battleship in the South Pacific. They all signed up after Pearl Harbor. I still remember my father when we he talk about Pearl Harbor. I didn't understand at the time his distant look as he described it and his description of those who committed it. And he was angry. Still, still 40 years later and 911 is that way for us. And the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday, which is so ungodly tragic he will never see his children or grandchildren. He could have been even more. I'll bet he would have been the President of the United States. I don't doubt it at all. Remember the first time I saw him, I thought who is this kid? Who is this kid? I spoke to him years ago, did an interview with him years ago. I wasn't a friend. I've only been doing this nationally for five years. So I'm not, you know, I'm not in as a part of the conservative movement that's been around with Glenn Beck and whatnot. I was a good 20 years after Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck started the day after 911 as a syndicated talk show host. Did you know that? The day after September 12th. I remember that broadcast by the way. That's why they put him on. They put him on. He was expected to go on, but they said you're going on tomorrow. And what has he done? He's done it for 24 years. What an impact he has had. I'm going to play this now and do my level best to maintain my composure. This is Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly yesterday.
- [09:38]
Megyn Kelly
There are news outlets reporting the worst right now. Glenn, I, I don't know what I'm waiting for before I report it. You know, I trust just the news. I trust Deseret. But we're waiting for like the AP to say it. We don't trust that more than we trust these. They're reporting that Charlie has died, that he's dead at the age of 31, which he would have to be if that video was real.
- [10:02]
Rob Carson
There's no way he survived that.
- [10:07]
The only good thing is it had to have happened quickly.
- [10:11]
Right?
- [10:12]
Megyn Kelly
Right. If you see the video, you do not see see any suffering.
- [10:18]
Rob Carson
Yesterday was not a turning point. Yesterday was the turning point. This is going to change everything. This is going to end the violent march of the left in this country. This is the beginning of the end of it. This is a part of the greatest awakening for good in a thousand years. And it's going to start here and it has started here and it's only going to get better. And it is spreading around the world and it is going to overtake the world. And when we are through with our morning and we are through with our reflection, we can begin the fight anew. The number is 800-922-6680. This is the Rob Carson Show.

How do you want to be remembered? If I die, everything just goes away. How would you, if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered?
- [11:30]
Charlie Kirk
I want to be. I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith. That would be the most important thing. Most important thing is my faith in my life.
- [11:37]
Rob Carson
There you go. That's Charlie Kirk. He was assassinated yesterday. It was a political assassination. There is no doubt about was. He had gone through many threats before and his rallies on campuses had experienced violence and threat somebody. It looks like a very well planned murder. An assassination by sniper John Solomon has reported that someone is custody. The FBI has found someone. They found a rifle as well. On the rifle were some of the same things that were on the shell casings at the Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago. They were pro trans, antifa slogans. We'll get to all of that as the show progresses. Well, I wanted to invite a special guest on the she works for the DHS in public relations. Her name is Kennedy Getz and what makes her special is that she is a new relative of mine. I found my biological family about seven years ago and she is my cousin and she is a young woman, a Gen Z er. I have been talking to her for years and she ultimately ended up in Washington D.C. oddly enough at the same time I moved to Washington D.C. and she is begin her career in politics and she is amazing and she joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How are you doing today, Kennedy?
- [13:07]
Kennedy Getz
Rob, today we lost a great patriot and thank you so much for having me on the show today. I had the privilege of working with Charlie for a season of my life and it was one of the most eye opening experiences I've ever had. I moved. I moved across the country when I was young for a movement I believed in, for his movement, a movement that gave so many young people courage and made us brave and reminded us that we are not alone. When I had the privilege of working for him, I asked him for a piece of advice to carry on into my career as a young woman. And I'll never forget what he said to me, Rob. He looked at me and said, always keep your faith, Kennedy. Always stick close to Jesus. And that could not hit closer to home today, because now more than ever, I believe we are, in a sense, spiritual war, a war of good versus evil. Charlie knew it, Trump knew it, and now America knows it.
- [14:01]
Rob Carson
You know, I had mentioned that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And we are in the reaction. Donald Trump and this new, this movement in America are the reaction to evil that is swept across our world. Yesterday we recognized that that evil has not been defeated yet. It has not been defeated yet. And we lost an incredible warrior and an incredible human being. A phenom like we've never seen. Like Rush Limbaugh was to me. Rush Limbaugh to me. I was a 23 year old kid. I never heard of Rush Limbaugh before. And he changed my life. He changed my life. I recognized that he was saying things that I'd never heard said aloud before. And he changed me. He did more. He educated me more in just a few weeks than four years of school did. And Kennedy, I don't think that I'm out of place by saying, and it's odd that your name is Kennedy, that to your generation, this is as big or bigger than the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.
- [14:58]
Kennedy Getz
In many ways, this is absolutely. And you look at what these leaders across America have done and why they got shot, I look at Charlie and I see he was a leader who championed open dialogue, and it cost him everything. He died defending it. Politics is filled with darkness, as I've seen working in it from a young age. But in the middle of that darkness, he shined a light and he shined the light of Jesus. And now we live in a nation where there's a bullseye on the backs of people who dare speak the truth. They didn't just cancel him. They took a father from his children because he thought differently. Now, from the left perspective, that is not democracy. That is actual fascism.
- [15:40]
Rob Carson
It is absolutely. You know, Today is also 9 11, and you were born after 9 11.
- [15:53]
Kennedy Getz
I watched.
- [15:54]
Rob Carson
What does it mean to you when you see it? I mean, Me, honestly, as a Gen Z or, you know, this is the first time in my life that I remember something like it was yesterday and I was there, and I see Gen Z' ers born afterwards. And I'm interested in your perspective when you learned about it and what it meant to you.
- [16:14]
Kennedy Getz
What it means to me, in my heart of hearts and especially for my faith, is that this is a cause worth dying for, and this is a fight worth dying for. When I go back to the Bible, I know that all of the apostles, right, they. They would have rather not denied their belief and died for their cause, just like Charlie did, just like JFK did, just like Robert Kennedy did. And let this be an alarm clock. Let this be something that finally opens the eyes of all Americans. This is much more than a political assassination. This is prophetic. And I do believe this is now our turning point.
- [16:54]
Rob Carson
It is the turning point. I had mentioned that yesterday, and it came to me, I said, it is not a turning point. It is the turning point. And it was beginning this way. We had the murder of a beautiful young woman on a subway in, in Charlotte, North Carolina. That was after 17 years of nonsense from the left, starting with Barack Obama, about white supremacy, white this, white that, and ultimately, you know, whites are, you know, white supremacists. The greatest threat to the country is white supremacism. It was all nonsense. We've had that same march, march, march with regard to conservatism and people like Charlie Kirk, and it resulted in a very similar outcome with them taking a champion of the cause from us. But we. This is it. I think we've had enough of the caterwauling. We've had enough of the marches. We've had enough of the burning and the looting. We've had enough of the shouting down. We've had enough of the pushing and the shoving. We've had enough of those using the language that they do of violence online and whatnot. And I really believe this is the turning point where we take things back and we put down the movement of the left, and we're not going to do it in a, In a. In a violent fashion. Kennedy, the government, Donald Trump, he will handle those who decide to get out of line, but we must overwhelm them, and we will, with joy and with patriotism and with faith. Kennedy, before we go, your. Your thoughts on where we go from here, you, as a young woman who just moved to Washington, D.C. i know you're going to have. I know you're going to have an impact on this city. Kenny, I can tell. I can tell you were. You were going to go work. I believe in Oklahoma, and I was hoping. Oh, please, God. Get to. Get to get to Washington, D.C. and then I get this glorious. This from, you know, from your dad. She's going to Washington. So what do you want to see happen?
- [18:40]
Kennedy Getz
Yes, absolutely. Well, I think that if anything, Charlie tried to wake up a generation, and he certainly did. And this is the time that we carried. We continue to carry this out. They're not afraid of him. They're afraid of the truth. They're afraid of the light inside of all of us, and they will stop at nothing to shut it down. But if there is a reason for our life and for his life, it is for this movement. And now it's our turn. This is the day, I think Americans wake up and we say, no more again. This is something deeper. This is something spiritual, and this is where it ends. So, Rob, thank you so much for having me on the show, and thank you.
- [19:17]
Rob Carson
Thank you. I'm so glad to have your debut on my show. I just think you're great, and you have such an enormous future in front of you, and this is a crystallizing moment for all of us, particularly your generation. So thank you for joining me, Kennedy Goetz. I appreciate you very much. Have a glorious day and God bless. Okay.
- [19:34]
God bless.
- [19:35]
Kennedy Getz
Rob. Thank you.
- [19:36]
Rob Carson
All right. Yeah. Kennedy. I met, you know, when I met my biological family, and she did a few months ago, she'd accepted a job in Oklahoma at the capital. And I said, oh, no, God. Into myself. She needs to be in D.C. and then she lands the gig in D.C. and moves me here a couple weeks before I do. It is remarkable. Guys, we're gonna take a break. Come back on the other side. Don't go anywhere. Okay.
- [20:18]
Charlie Kirk
I go around universities and have challenging conversations because that's what is so important to our country, is to find our disagreements respectfully. Because when people stop talking, that's when violence happens.
- [20:32]
Rob Carson
I've never seen someone do this.
- [20:34]
Charlie Kirk
Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence. Assault. The left. Yes. The campus, antifa. I've been stormed out of restaurants. I've been assaulted publicly. Multiple death threats.
- [20:47]
Megyn Kelly
Okay, so what's your knowledge of this?
- [20:48]
Charlie Kirk
There's more people that agree with me than some people would actually believe. And they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this. We record all of it so that we put it on the Internet so people can see these ideas collide when people stop talking, that's when you get violence, that's when civil war happens because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.
- [21:07]
Rob Carson
That is Charlie Kirk being interviewed as he was at one of his campus speaking events, which were legendary and really had segued from just small gatherings to massive groups of thousands of people assembling to hear him speak speak. The largest campus rallies, I guess, probably since the 60s when they were protesting the Vietnam War. He was a phenom. He has we're still digesting his impact and how it will even grow from now. KT McFarland joins us on the Newsmax hotline. KT I know when we invited you on the show, we were expecting to speak about foreign policy and what's going on with Israel and all of this, but today, obviously, is Gigantic Day. Historically, we saw the, the, the assassination of a, I don't even the the biggest influencer in, in Gen Z and millennial history. KT welcome to the show.
- [22:11]
Oh, it's always a great pleasure to be with you, although it's such a sad topic. But I think that you can't underestimate, as you said, the greatest influencer of his generation. I think it's his assassination is going to reverberate in the same way that Martin Luther King's assassination reverberated.
- [22:28]
You know, I was thinking about this, I was thinking about this this morning. Well, yesterday, all day, all night, I couldn't sleep. But you know, generationally, when you look at the assassination of, of Charlie Kirk, I would say that it is as impactful. In fact, I would say more impactful than the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, because Bobby Ken was part of a dynasty. He was a office holder and he was running for office. Charlie Kirk inspired an organic movement. He grew an organic movement, Very, very similar to what Rush Limbaugh did, but different and gigantic.
- [23:09]
But it's even bigger than that, because the movement that Rush inspired and that Bobby Kennedy and others inspired was a movement, but it hadn't been organized. The difference is this is organized. Charlie Kirk had set up Turning Point USA chapters in, I think, two or 3,000 high schools and colleges across the country. So there is an intact group of people on campuses where they already have an organization that's going to, you know, let's say, for example, hold vigils or get involved. And I think it will the fact that they already exist and there's already a critical mass in the sense of people who belong and who affiliate with them, go to conferences, I think it lasts way more than just you know, the horror of the moment.
- [24:01]
You know, I remember when people were talking when Rush Limbaugh divulged that he had terminal cancer on air. And people were talking about the end of the conservative movement. But actually, while he is missed and no one will fill his shoes, it has grown. I know that the death of Charlie Kirk, as tragic and awful and heart wrenching as it is, I know that once these clouds clear above us, that we've experienced the last less than 24 hours, that the sun is going to shine through and it's going to build this not only political but spiritual revival in our country. KT that's so overwhelming. It is without. It cannot be denied.
- [24:45]
You know, I speak at a lot of college campuses and there are several sort of national organizations. One is the Claire Boothe Luce association for Conservative Women, and the other is Turning Point usa. Then there are the various Republican, Young Republican chapters in colleges and high schools all around the country. And the growth of these movements just in the last two, three years is exponential. I mean, I went to a conference and spoke at a conference in Washington three weeks ago, and there were hundreds of students coming from all over the country. You would have had a small office of 10 people five years ago. But the growth in the conservative movement, so it's now safe. It's okay to be a conservative on college campuses, despite what we see at Columbia and Harvard and places like that. There is a group of people like you. You're not all hidden away. There is a group of people that can assemble and talk about what they believe in and have speakers. It's obviously what Charlie was doing all around the country. I mean, I spoke at his rallies, he spoke. I'm on the board of cpac. He spoke at our events. But the organization, part of it is what kind of gets lost. Everybody's focusing on what a great debater Charlie was, how he went to these college campuses and would take on all comers and just outsmart them and out debate them time after time. But it's the organization that will last beyond his immediate lifespan.
- [26:10]
You know, we've experienced a great deal of indignities over the last decade. Conservatives, everything from being censored, having what we think censored online, being demonetized, being taken down. I've been through all of it, having what we believe called disinformation and misinformation and all of this. And now we've had the left running roughshod over America. The day that Donald Trump, Trump was inaugurated, the first day they burned parts of Washington D.C. and they burned their way across America until 2020, where they burned and killed and then they kept going. And now the left has its marching orders and they go out and burn Tesla dealerships and they go out and protest Donald Trump making D.C. peaceful. For God's sake. What happens to our country, KT, what happens to this leftward movement of violence? I think this is, I said this morning, it's not a turning point. It's the turning point. And I believe this is the day, this is the moment we turn back that. Do you believe that's going to happen?
- [27:09]
100%. And the reason is, you know what movements like this, the left, the far left movement, they eventually turn on themselves and burn themselves out. They just get so crazy and crazy and crazier, you know, and the faster they get crazy and the crazier they get, the more the average people with some common sense say, wait a minute, this is not what I'm signing up for. And so I do think they burn themselves out. But at the same time that they burn themselves out, there's a rising movement of, you know, belief in God, family, country. And as we find out more and more about all the sort of residual evils of what's been going on with the left wing movement, it's the anti Semitism, it's the anti Israel, it's the anti Christian, it's the, you know, this sort of embrace of violence. I think that the quicker people see all of that, the quicker the average person, the average American has an enormous amount of common sense.
- [28:05]
I moved to.
- [28:05]
This is not what I'm summoned. I don't want any of this.
- [28:08]
Yeah, well, I have just moved here six weeks ago. I live in Old Town Alexandria and I have spoken to many, many people. I'm, I love to meet people and, and conservatives speak in hushed tones here. I went to this glorious art gallery called the, the Torpedo Factory. I've been a couple times. I met a woman there who was selling items, remember October 7th. And we shut the door and she talked to me and she whispered and she didn't want to be hearing over the partition of the Artist Next door to find out that she supported Israel. My God, kt, My God. And I said, this is the moment. We stop speaking in hushed tones. We make it very clear that we are people of faith and we are people of conservative and we are patriots and we are joyful and we are patriotic. This is the moment. There's no more censorship. We're not going to stand for it. Kt, can you hold on I'd like to talk to you on the other side because I know you knew Charlie and you, you worked with him. And I would love to get your impressions of getting to know him, if that's possible.
- [29:07]
Sure.
- [29:07]
All right. Very good. More with the KT McFarland joining us on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show.
- [29:19]
Charlie Kirk
To all the Gen zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just for you. You don't have to stay poor. You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents. You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy. You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote. America's future is a series of choices. Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice.
- [29:53]
Rob Carson
This is not a moment. It's the moment. It's the turning point we've been waiting for. You know, KT McFarlane, by the way, joining us on Newsmax Hotline, former Trump deputy national security adviser, author of Revolution Trump Washington and We the People, among other things. Also, I love watching her when she's on Gutfeld show. I'll just admit I really will love to watch her on Gutfeld when she does appearances. But you know, I've got two Gen Z kids, 20 and 25 and both of them had their lives completely upended. My daughter missed at least almost a half of her high school either spent not learning hybrid learning or learning wearing a mask. My son missed two years of his college where he couldn't go out and do anything because of COVID They told them that masculinity was toxic and girls could become boys. And they, they, the left was, was slobbering over this generation. They thought they had them completely under control. And guess what, kt, the opposite is true. Generation Z could turn out to be one of the greatest generations. And we can thank, thank Charlie Kirk for a good deal of that, can't we?
- [30:57]
I think almost single handedly you can thank Charlie Kirk for that because, you know, instead of doing what a lot of people do who are political commentators who go on tv, they write books, they, you know, go into government, whatever. Charlie went into the college campuses.
- [31:12]
Yeah.
- [31:12]
And I remember when I first met him, I don't know, 10 years ago or so, and he knew that my daughter had gone to the Naval Academy. And so he said, well, you know, I wanted to go to West Point. And I said, well, Charlie, why didn't you? And then he pulls out that he would Carry with him everywhere the rejection letter from West Point.
- [31:28]
Oh, really?
- [31:31]
Because I got this rejection letter. I didn't go to West Point.
- [31:34]
Wow.
- [31:36]
I would have gone in a different direction. And so I forget where he went to college for maybe a semester or so.
- [31:40]
Yes.
- [31:41]
And then said, this is total indoctrination. Why am I spending money to do this? To listen to these leftist professors? I'm going to start going on college campuses. So he started small, but then it took off like wildfire across the country. He got some good funding early on and was able to establish these Turning Point USA chapters and then had a national convention where tens of thousands of students came from all over the country. So he focused on gen, whatever that gen is, but he focused on Kaiden kids between the age of like 15 and 25 or 30. That was his target group. And the important thing about is when you, your people's sort of political affiliations form during those years, most kids who are in high school and college, they don't care about politics. Right. They care about the football game. They care about, you know, who they're dating on Saturday night. They don't care about this other stuff. But Charlie got mobilized, that group of people who are now voters, voter registration drives. Those people are going to be conservatives for the next 50 years. It's an impact that will far outlive his very short life.
- [32:50]
You met him, you said 10 years ago, what was your initial impression of him? I want to hear, what was that spark? What made you go, whoa? What made you go, well, this is somebody like I've never met before. This is a person who is destined for greatness. Was there something that hit you and you went, wow?
- [33:10]
It was two things. One, his staggering intelligence.
- [33:14]
Yes.
- [33:14]
And not only intelligence, but how much he had read about the Constitution, about. I mean, he just, he could out fact configure anybody, any, I mean, any of the experts. He knew more than they did about the constitution, about laws, about statistics, about society. He was just better prepared than anybody, even the experts. And then the other was the scope of his ambitions. You know, when he was like 20 years old, he, you know, 18, 19, 20 years old. And he envisioned a national organization and he was able to convince people, oh, maybe that's not so crazy. Well, okay, you're really young. I mean, you've never done anything like this, but maybe we should believe in what you're going to do and how you're going to change things. So I think that staggering intelligence coupled with the, the confidence not in himself, not ambition for himself. But ambition for the movement and the cause was what set him apart from everybody else. And so at a very young age, he accomplished what people take a lifetime to accomplish. And it was magnetic, but not in an arrogant way, in a humble way. I remember going to another luncheon, an expert luncheon, where he was speaking. He'd just written one of his books. He'd just written a book, and somebody in the audience asked him foreign policy question. Maybe there are 40 people at the luncheon. And then he answered it. And he turned to me and said, how am I doing? They get it right.
- [34:37]
Wow. I would assume you gave him a thumbs up.
- [34:42]
Totally. Oh, my God.

I look at, we've had Brianna Lyman coming up next hour, and she's a young conservative influence, works with the Federalist, and she's one of the people who, I mean, I, I am seeing so much brilliance coming up in Gen Z, women and men in politics, in, in, in Republican politics. I, I know that his knowledge inspired them to learn more. And now we've got a generation, I think, that are more well educated and informed and well spoken than I have probably seen in my lifetime.

Kt and not only that, but they're motivated. I mean, they're doing something. They're not just sort of complaining about stuff or, you know, on a Friday night in the dorm saying something, they're actually motivated to doing something. They're registering voters, they're holding conferences, they're bringing speakers to their campuses. That's what's the, that's the big difference is that is the organizational ability that Charlie had to not only inspire people, but to take that spark of inspiration and then turn it into pro action, you know, to get them involved, get them doing things. And when people say, oh, Elon Musk made put Donald Trump over the top in the last election. No, no, no, no, no. It was Charlie. It was Charlie.
- [35:52]
Absolutely, absolutely.
- [35:53]
Got all those young voters to come out and A, vote and B, vote for Trump.

Katie McFarland, I'm honored to know you and I am so grateful that you would find the time to come on the show today, even though this was obviously something we had never even imagined. But I really do appreciate your perspective and I really appreciate knowing you.
- [36:12]
Oh, that's an honor. Thank you. And I want to add one more thing.
- [36:16]
Yes.
- [36:16]
You know, the thing about Charlie is that he had connections with thousands of people. I mean, if you're seeing the outpouring of, you know, radio talk show hosts, conservatives, liberals, politicians, movie stars, people all across the spectrum saying he was My friend, I just texted him last night, or I just. I was planning to have dinner with him tomorrow. The number of people in Charlie's immediate friend network is in the thousands.
- [36:44]
Very good, kt. Have a glorious weekend. God bless you and thanks for being on the show today.
- [36:49]
And thank you for those kind words.
- [36:51]
All right, let's. You bet. Let's take a. Let's take a break. This, my friends, is the Rob Carson show.

That has to be respected. They will not take responsibility for the fact that the vast majority of political violence in America comes from the left. Now, whether it's Luigi Mangione or Robert Westman or Trump's would be assassins, the D.C. museum killings and now Charlie Kerr work. Democrats keep saying, let's come together and turn down the temperature. We can only come together if they tell the truth. It is coming from their side. They have to take responsibility for it because it is radicalizing to be told that you should not believe what you're seeing with your own eyes. We all see where it's coming from and they are acting like this isn't the case. You cannot move on when people are lying to your face about where the political violence is coming from. And it is coming from the left.

Now, we know that the leftist media is in its death throes, and the leftist Marxist class of 1968 is in its death throes. I remember talking to Sebastian Gorka after Donald Trump's election and he essentially said, this is the beginning. This isn't the end of anything. It's only going to get harder at times. Yesterday we found that out yesterday after seven months of caterwauling and violence and marches and screeching and all of these things. The left murdered a generational leader. They murdered him. They assassinated him and they celebrated it. And I got to tell you, as I have said, this was not a turning point. This is the turning point. This is the turning point. Now, I have been very kind to not express anger about this, and I'm not going to do so today. But I am going to tell those of you who have chosen the side of the left and the darkness that you're on, you're about to get your ass kicked. You're about to get your ass kicked by God, by fate and. And by this movement. I'm not talking violence. This is a godly movement. And if you're on the wrong side of God, you are going to hell. And it means that in a lot of different ways. On the way, more tributes from Charlie Kirk. We are for Charlie Kirk. Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania senator, is going to be joining us. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
