uh former new york city tv news anchor k r in today uh remember i used to be on channel seven i worked

there for 20 years uh i also worked for a year doing Good Day Wake Up and Good Day New York on Channel 5. And these days, I host a daily show on a New Jersey-based news channel. It's called On New Jersey. You could stream it live or watch the rerun at your leisure at on nj.com. I also have the

pleasure of running a food website. If you're into food, you got to check it out. It's totally

free. Lots of recipes, links to pages all over the world. The site is called The Food Dude.

It has links to thousands of recipes. I actually use it myself on a daily basis. So that it's, if nobody checks it out, at least I have it for me. Thefooddood.us, thefooddud.us. Well, it's good to be here with you. Kind of a somber day, though, after what happened yesterday. Lots to talk about. Our phone lines are open. We had some very good phone calls today so far. We'd love to hear what you have to say. So the number is 1-800-3-2-1-0-7-10. 1-800-3-2-1-7-10. Well Yesterday, it was such a tragedy.

In fact, as I was getting off the air, filling in for Mark yesterday, this was occurring.

There was that person who could only be described as evil, decided to take out their insanity and their anger on young children, two of them, just eight and ten. And they were doing nothing

but praying in a church that's attached to a school that they went to at the beginning of their

school day. The Minneapolis police chief says the killer took their own life before they could be

captured. The coward that shot these victims took his own life in the rear of the church.

That coward has been identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman. No prior criminal history.

Now, it should be clarified. Robin Westman started out as Robert Westman, born a boy, at 17, told his mother, and I say at the time

his mother, it was a his mother at that point, told his mother that he felt like he was a woman,

a girl, and wanted a name change. So it took almost a year to go through the process, but the

mother acquiesced and helped Robert become Robin.

But later, even though everybody in the media is fighting and tripping over themselves to call Robin she,

this individual says on video and in his her writings, and I say both pronouns on purpose not to be mocking but

because the individual says quote I know I'm not a woman and never will be I guess I'm

just a girlish man so this individual also in later life right before committing suicide

identified again as a man.
