And we're live and what a weekend it's been, what a blur of a, you know, what last five days it has been, I think for all of us here.

0:10.1

But I'll tell you, at this moment in time, I'm actually, I'm heartened.

0:14.4

I'm actually heartened because I think that I want to be naive.

0:19.7

And I'll believe it when I see it after, you know, if we're into a month or so of the media letting up, I think that there is some remorse.

0:27.4

Thank God, because this has just been an awful tragedy. And I'll tell you, there's no amount of excuses, I think, that can get you to a place that we're ever going to be whole. Or certainly Charlie Kirk's family is ever going to be whole. But, but this is a wake-up call. I mean, this is Day Reckoning. For the mainstream media, for goodness sakes, guys, now you finally get it. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the program. I am Trish Rigan. Wow, we hit a million subs over the weekend. That was something yesterday morning. I'm excited about it. We're going to talk about it a little bit later on because that is thanks to a lot of hard work on my part and a lot of hard work on your part because you guys have been tuning in daily. You have been part of this conversation

1:11.0

together here with me. I'll tell you what, I sure as heck, wish that this could have happened

1:16.4

at a better time because it's a very, very, it's a tough time. I knew Charlie. I was one of the first

1:22.7

people to put them on TV 10 years ago. We were colleagues at Salem Media. I am still sort of in a state of shell shock,

1:31.3

but I am heartened that we're here together and we're experiencing all this together. So we will

1:37.0

talk about that. But you got the media. Now the mainstream media coming out saying, I'm sorry,

1:42.2

I'm sorry. Gosh, this is what it took. The media feels bad, as it should, as it should. I mean, consider MSNBC. They had a guy on MSNBC, Matthew Down, who, by the way, I used to work with at Bloomberg, who, by the way, still doesn't get it after he was fired because he started saying, well, you know, Charlie said all these things. And when you say

2:02.0

all these things, this is what you're bringing on. I'm sorry. There's no excuses here, ladies and gentlemen,

2:06.4

for any of this. And at least Brian Roberts and Mike Kavanaugh and some of the other people over there

2:11.2

at MSNBC and NBC and Kalkass seem to be understanding that in this moment in time? I mean, we need some adults,

2:19.7

thank you very much. I know they got rid of Joy Reed. And they got rid of Matthew Dow.

2:25.2

This guy right here, you see, I'm not even going to show his comments because I, you guys saw it

2:30.4

on Friday, and we don't need to go back to that. A lot of people are saying a lot of despicable

2:33.7

things, and it just makes me sick to my stomach. But I like to look at glass half full

2:38.9

and I'm happy that the Comcast executives fired this dude. And by the way, I'm happy that they're

2:44.2

telling all the employees to knock it off. They issued a memo. They issued a memo on Friday and

2:50.4

let's go through it.

2:51.2
