The Lindsay Clancy Case:
When Empathy Overshadows the Victims

Guest: MISSY ROEPNACK

CURRENT PROGRAM: October 3, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: OCTOBER 3, 2026

GUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)

In our country today there is no shortage of violent acts that shock the senses. We did a recent program on the man who falsely believed he was a women who opened fire at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, killing two young children.

On the heels of that was a young Ukrainian immigrant minding her own business on a train in North Carolina only to have the man sitting behind, 14 times previously arrested, suddenly stand up and stab her to death. The video shakes one to the core.

And then on Wednesday of this week, Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA, a conservative organization on high school and college campuses, and perhaps the most influential conservative leader in the country other than President Trump, was assassinated by a sniper as he spoke at an event at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk was married and the father of two young children. He was just 31 years old.

Kirk was known for his sharp intellect, determination, leadership, and articulate, persuasive and bold debate style. At his events on college campuses, he would answer questions from everyone, even those vehemently opposed to his views.

Charlie Kirk was also known for being a forthright Christian who boldly proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The killing of Kirk has been a collective gut punch to those on the right. But to some on the left, his death has been disturbingly celebrated.

This reveals not just a divide in our country but a dark and wicked deception that has hardened the hearts of too many. In a country with freedom of religion and speech in our Constitution, no one should be assassinated for viewpoints. But to the modern left, to disagree with them is to be a danger in need of silencing.

Charlie Kirk has been silenced from speaking in this life but he has no doubt inspired a generation to stand up for their Christian and conservative beliefs.

Travis Allen, pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO, joins us to discuss the several aspects of the murder of Charlie Kirk.
