Charlie Kirk Prayer Vigil

By: Scoop Stanton

Sunday afternoon I was at a community pool watching my youngest son splash around with a friend when Alessandra Griffitt sent me an invite via email for the Charlie Kirk Prayer Vigil at the Kennedy Center. I said that I will try to make it as I had my kids that day. Field Producer Ed Huebner said to bring them. I contacted my youngest daughter to see if she wanted to go as she was a fan of Kirk. She said yes. Luckily I had pants in the car so we were off.

I took the Metro down and fortunately there was a shuttle bus for the Kennedy Center waiting outside! We roll up and it looked like the line for a Trump rally!

And there was no ropes, fences, barriers, blue sawhorses that the NYPD is famous for or the need for any security. The line was organic. No pushing, shoving, yelling, screaming, fighting or the need for security. People were polite, friendly and pleasant.

There were people of all ages, shapes, and shades. And only men and women! All appropriately dressed. There was one black guy with dreadlocks flying “colors” head to toe; red, white and blue. Even members of the Jewish faith! This was shocking to me as Charlie was a devout Christian. But why not, they want to pay respects too! While in line I saw another friend Andre Soriano! Small world!

We get inside and get our wristbands. Again, the Kennedy Center was packed. And everything was running smoothly. We head upstairs and ended up in Bob Uecker seats! I didn’t mind because I knew there was a lot more people behind us that can’t make it inside!

Once inside it felt like church. Musicians were playing hymns, people in the packed house singing along waving arms in the air. A state representative from Arizona came out and said a prayer, then the pledge of allegiance.

Then two ladies who knew Kirk who used to work for him came out and said that there were 85 members of Congress and members of the White House staff in the room! And they were not kidding. The next person to speak was House Speaker Mike Johnson!

If that wasn’t enough, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was next! She has a special place in our heart as she agreed to come on Liberty Roundtable while I was at CPAC in 2024!

Then came the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard! When the ladies mentioned White House staff, I was thinking staffers nobody knows, not members of the cabinet!

The next speaker was Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr! RFK talked about the time he went on Charlie’s podcast as mortal enemies and finished as brothers in arms!

Then Kari Lake came out talking about her interactions with Kirk and how one of her daughters quit Turning Point USA because she took Charlie Kirk’s advice. To get married and start a family!

Two other politicians came out to talk about how Kirk changed their lives. Then came the closing remarks and closing hymns. I took my daughter home and then met up with Ed Huebner for some wings and drinks!

I’m very glad I attended. I got to spend quality time with my daughter. She got to see some of the most powerful people in America with her own eyes. That prayer vigil was more inspiring and had more meaning than a typical Sunday service at church! I’d like to thank Alessandra Griffitt for the invite, Ed Huebner for the motivation to attend and the wings at Kilroy’s and Andre Soriano for just being Andre!

Conventional wisdom caught up to us.

Last Friday Sam Bushman forwarded a press release to James Edwards and myself concerning Anthony Cumia’s new Sunday night show being syndicated by Red Apple Media. I’m very happy for Cumia. First; Cumia was given a bum deal in 2014, when he said some not nice things on Twitter after he was attacked. He was peronsa non grata after the news broke. Cumia had to get back on his two feet by himself! And he did it by himself. Just like Sam, James and myself. Second: Cumia and Red Apple Media are saving this industry! 

James Edwards brought up the point that we have been saying what Cumia has been saying way before he went more public on controversial issues. Conventional wisdom is shifting towards us. We haven’t changed one bit, except our family has gotten much bigger! Besides Cumia, a number of YouTube personalities have made it big saying what we have been saying for over two decades now. Hell, I look at the Hodge brothers and I tell James that the Hodge’s are the black version of us! Yet despite all the work we have done paving the way for all these other folks, we are still ignored! We have so much talent in our family, its not funny. Add the fact this network has a beautiful spokesmodel (Danila Rodrigues) who happens to be Latina, and not one outlet outside Liberty News Radio has interviewed her! Why? Because they are jealous that they didn’t come up with such a concept. Unlike Larry O’Connor who has inside the Beltway soccer moms, Danila is 75 Radio! She too will break necks if necessary! (Same thing with Heather McBride!) Our colleagues in the meida can’t grasp the concept a network of so-called male chauvinist racist pigs have a Latina on staff! 

And again, I have two words: “Your welcome.” This is for our fans, sponsors, and supporters. You have stuck with us through thick and thin. You know a good thing when you hear it. And we are literally decades ahead of everyone else! We were the guinea pigs to talk about controversial subjects. And we paid for it! And were still not done! 

And to prove that there no difference on air or off air after our email exchange I texted “I love you” to James Edwards. He replied in kind. I said oops, that was for Danila! 

White House Easter message

Editor’s note: This is one of the most powerful Easter messages we have seen in a long time. When was the last time a politician mentioned “our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.

Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.

During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross.  In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation.  Through His suffering, we have redemption.  Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins.  Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life.  On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word.

This Holy Week, my Administration renews its promise to defend the Christian faith in our schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, and halls of government.  We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting God in our public square.

As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we look to His love, humility, and obedience—even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments.  This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation.  We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world, and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal kingdom in Heaven.

May God bless you and your family during this special time of year and may He continue to bless the United States of America.

My best CPAC!

By: Scoop Stanton

This was to me the best CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference). It was held once again held at the Gaylord National Resort in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Thursday I rolled up early as Vice President Vance was to speak. Little did myself and a whole bunch of media know was that the line for media creds would be closed from 9am until 10:45. So no Vice President Vance! Luckily I left all my radio gear in the car. We had to get through Secret Service screening so people were bringing all their gear with them. I had a phone, notepad, pen keys and coffee. On the way to the hotel, I wanted to get cash. And the Gaylord only takes plastic! Day one at CPAC and I can’t contribute to “Liberty Roundtable.”

As I’m standing to get my creds, I see world famous fashion designer Andre Soriano! He was there as a media member! And unlike me, he has his creds! The man knows everyone. He is everywhere. He does everything! How does the man sleep!? As I’m walking down Radio Row, there were more media there than last year. Newsmax, The Epoch Times, Mike Lindell’s outfit and many others were there. As I’m looking around, I see a familiar couple: Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Kucinich! Elizabeth stepped away and so I went to Rep. Kucinich. But just before, I did what I did best: text James Edwards. He sent a pic of himself with Kucinich! Holy Dogshit! I introduced myself again. I told Dennis how we met 13 years ago at Dulles Airport. I asked what he was doing at CPAC. He said: “these are my people.” I was blown away. Here’s a man who I disagree with 99%. I was blown away.

With the pardoning of the January 6th trespassers, there were a lot of these people telling the same story. They were roughed up by the feds. Their due process rights were eliminated. They were abused in jail. As their lives were falling apart in jail, they missed court dates for divorce, child custody, and bankruptcy. These men came out of jail with scars and broken bones. But these men’s sprits were not broken!

I reached out to “75 Radio” guest and now friend Christopher Martini. He said he’ll meet up after Elon speaks. Elon Musk was not on the list! So I went into the ballroom. British politician Nigel Farage came on. Here was a Brit who loves America more than your average Democrat. Then a dude from Newsmax came out with something about DOGE. Then he introduced Elon Musk who came out and the crowd roared. Argentina President Javier Milei presented Musk with a chainsaw! The crowd roared! Musk was very personable, funny and to the point. He had a couple of good points.

“The left wanted to make comedy illegal.” He also said: “Is the left even real” and “Freedom is priceless.” Musk also wanted to Audit the Federal Reserve and look inside Fort Knox. Musk also brought up the fact that $250 billion of COVID money went overseas! Musk also said SpaceX was also sued by the government for not having illegal aliens on the payroll. I also met Brian Bourne, lead singer of Under the Covers and the lucky boyfriend of Alessandra and Mike Wojtaszek, a/k/a DJ EchoMike. I was posing for a picture with these gentlemen and said: “By the way Mike I’m Scoop Stanton.” Mike couldn’t have been any nicer. He loved “75 Radio.” I couldn’t wait until the after party!

Then came Steve Bannon! He wanted conservatives to fasten their bayonets! He also said that MAGA for bringing the country in a new direction and called the mainstream media the propaganda department for the ruling class.

Afterwards, I went to a place for an afterparty for Steve Bannon. I think all of CPAC was there! Thankfully it was a two level bar. Top shelf booze. All free! But I did make sure those bartenders were taken care of!

The next day I went to CPAC and found an empty table on Radio Row. I fired up the old computer and was talking. This very nice lady told me to move. I felt like such a dirtbag! So; I found some space at a window. I got a hold of film director Christopher Martini who wore a “Make movies great again.” I was both proud and embarrassed of my homeless man studio! Chris killed.

Afterward he contacted Barry Morganstein, world famous photographer. He took many iconic pictures of the rock stars I love. He spoke to Sam and knocked it out of the park! He also took a selfie with me! I was touched! It’s like getting a guitar lesson from Jimmy Page!

Later on Friday I ran into Chris who introduced me to actress Martha Byrne. Her husband Mike McMahon is a retired NYPD Sergeant. He was framed by our government for doing the job he was hired to do as a private investigator! We went to lunch and I met John Shattuck. I call him “Johnny Three Phones.” It’s easier to pronounce than Shattuck. He is a former Navy airdale and works in the private sector. That’s all you need to know. I want him to come on “75 Radio” to talk about whatever he wants. I followed Christopher and John to Real America’s Voices to go on live, but they were bumped for the swearing in for Kash Patel.

We went to dinner. Well, some of us. Some had a liquid dinner. I met up with podcaster/actor/patriot Ian Trottier and another John (sorry I forgot your name John) and we went to a Asian restaurant. Chris, Johnny Three Phones, the other John and Ian were talking about the corruption of a high-ranking government official. And these men have the receipts! I was silent. I was too busy going: “WTF!?” After dinner, both solid and liquid. I went back to the Gaylord. Chris and Johnny Three Phones were going back on tv, Ian had something to do so me and other John went to the lounge. There I met up with Andre Soriano, Mike “King Photobomb” Foster, and Elisa Nguyen and others. John was talking about his time as a squid and a fed! John left and then I ran up with everyone else including Alessandra! I also met Rob O’Donnell! He was almost exactly like me. But better! He was former New York Transit Police (Black Patch)! I was in awe. After his long and decorated career he also hosts a radio show! After having a wonderful time with my new friends, I called it a night and went home before I turned into a pumpkin!

Saturday I booked Martha Byrne on Sam’s show. I only brought my radio equipment. Secret service was there. A nice doggy sniffed through the equipment. I met Martha and we found space on radio row. I was tickled pink! But the table next to us was empty and the other one was occupied by two men eating breakfast! I didn’t care! Martha came on and killed. She was a great guest but a very sad story. The next hour, I was looking for someone. John Shattuck was MIA and Ian was busy! So I found Retired Major Tom Haviland to talk about the jab. He was already on Liberty News Radio. I wasn’t interested so I texting the “75” Family.

I wanted to put my gear in the car and come back. But I couldn’t find a place to exit! I was locked in! There was a line to buy food but it was Gaylord prices! I found a very nice volunteer who let me store my gear in the exhibition area. I then went to see Lauren Witzke at the Lindell booth. That girl was working her ass off! Mike Lindell was also working his ass off. He was talking to someone about some media, talking on his phone, talking to Lauren and autographing books! Whoa! I told her who I was and James Edwards says hello. She took a selfie with me and she went back to work!

I went in the main ballroom. Tom Homan spoke and he was like George Patton. He told the drug cartels that are after him to “Come get some.” And said that we need to “fix the shit!” I was shocked as that’s Charlie LeDuff’s catchphrase. There were some other people who I didn’t care about including the Prime Minister of Italy via video screen.

Then it was time for President Trump! Matt and Mercedes Schlapp came down with no applause. Then Trump came in like It was like the Beatles coming in! He said he was “keeping our promises” and said it was common sense. He also recognized the President of Argentina and January 6ers. He also clowned Biden and the illegal alien criminals. He said that the illegal alien criminals were worse than the Hells Angels. Trump then said that the Angels love America! Trump also said that Jimmy Carter passed away happy as he was not the worst president in US history! Trump also talked about his accomplishments and what he wants to do next. It was a typical Trump speech. But I was glad I went!

Then it was the time for the best part of the weekend: The after party called: The Golden Age of the Magadonians featuring Under the Covers Band, DJ Echo Mike and Scoop!

James Edwards wanted me to come on. My friend Elisa Nguyen wanted to see “The Radio Guy” in action. I gave her a headset and let her listen in behind the scenes: commercials, Keith and weather to keep me for another segment or not! It was a good two segments.

Later as I was all set to go online for “75 Radio.” But the band was playing and Liz our producer can’t hear. I ran outside leaving my computer and equipment talking outside the phone again. Eventually I got my computer and got up and running. It was a great show despite my trips to the open bar. James Edwards was also listening with his daughter. I told Walter and Mike to keep it clean. No g strings or Tampon Tim gags. Also at the bar was Andre Soriano and Mike “The Photobomber” Foster. Mike is an expert sea captain. I told Mike I’d love go on a cruise on the Potomac with him and his crew. I told him about my experience in the Navy and I can make sure the head works. I also saw Andre Soriano again. As always he was a gas! I also texted James Edwards saying that I don’t know if it’s the booze, ok its the booze but I love everyone in our family! I held an exclusive after party from the after party at my hotel room. Some of you might want to go to the next paragraph. But; it was me, a bag of popcorn and The Godfather.

Now, do you think that Sunday my fun at CPAC was over? Hell no. As I’m heading to check out there was Ian Trottier. He called me over and we went to brunch and hang out to talk shop for a few more hours. Which was really nice. Ian is a really nice dude!

This was the best CPAC ever. And it wasn’t because of seeing Trump or staying in the hotel. It was the people. Not only the local gang here Mike, Andre, Elisa etc., but also the people that I just met. Mike, Chris, Barry, Martha, John Shattuck, the other John, Ian, Martha, Rob, Sherry Morgenstein, and everyone else I forgot. I just met these people. They treated me like family and they didn’t know me from a hill of beans. This is what its all about! I met too many fake phony, frauds and bullshitters and grifters. Not these people. They all made me feeI like a part of their group. I look forward to working with these people and a long friendship!

I need to thank the entire 75 Radio family for their support and especially Danila for not only giving me a sense of fashion but saying she was proud of be for getting the table at Radio Row! She believes in me as much as I believe in myself, which I really appreciate.

Special shout out and thanks to Alessandra Griffitt. She has done so much for me and “75 Radio.” The after parties meeting up with Chris, Barry, Mike which led me meeting so many other awesome people I met. She too was also very proud of me for sitting at a table at CPAC. She also believes in me and “75 Radio.” It’s people like Alessandra that I work so hard for “75 Radio.”

“More pronounced with the brotha’s.”

Last week President Obama was out campaigning for Kamala Harris. He criticized the black community for not getting behind Kamala Harris. He said: “Its more pronounced with the brotha’s.” This dude never lived in the ‘hood! Maybe Mr. President “the brotha’s” are:

-Sick of being squeezed everytime they go to the grocery store or gas station.

-Sick of seeing American tax money go overseas, for conflicts we have no business being in.

-Sick of seeing illegal aliens get a free ride, while American citizens are suffering.

-Sick of seeing the streets flooded with fentanyl.

-Sick of being pandered to every election cycle, getting nothing

-Sick of seeing a former president railroaded by the Justice Department

-Sick of seeing the Democrat candidate call herself black after calling herself Indian.

-Sick of seeing males playing women sports and in the girls locker rooms.

-Sick of being lied to.

-Sick of being talked down to.

In this clip Obama is Detective Foley. Using the race card to get something for nothing! Meanwhile the white guy steals the car keys!
