In my opinion (host Mike Douglass), this is one of the most powerful and profound reflections by an elected official about a heinous crime...the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  This is Gov. Spencer Cox speaking at a press conference on Friday, September 12, 2025, after the announcement of the arrest of a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Incredibly insightful, and wise counsel to the nation in the midst of turmoil and grief.

Processing the nexus of 24 years since 9/11 2001, the murder of Iryna Zarutska, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk...what's our response?  What's our answer to the intimidation of the evil?  A bright spot:  Modesto brings baseball back with a professional independent league beginning May 2026.

Walking through the developing news and reaction to the assassination of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk during an appearance at the Utah Valley University.  NOTE: Information presented was accurate as reported from officials at that time.

Looking at the deep facets of the murder Iryna Zarutska in a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina--the system that failed her and fails us; the need for judicial reform; the failures of the people on the train to help, and the failures of people there who left a young woman to bleed out and die alone in her own blood on the floor of that train car.
