On this VIDEO episode of Southeast Iowa Today John Bain heads to Wayland, Iowa, for the Southeast Iowa Today with John Bain Cruise-In at Your Choice Family Restaurant!

Today a father, husband and a son was taken from his family and from our country. Charlie Kirk was a Christian, a patriot and an incredible man. He was so bright and intelligent. I never knew him personally but I did know him. I admired his quickness and intelligence, his brilliance. He was a major influential presence in the 21st Century. For those that hate and disagree with him and his beliefs and act in violence, you did not win today. May the Lord grant his grace on Charlie’s family and the United States of America. Hug the ones you love. Tell them you love them. Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk. This is a war. This violence needs to stop. How much more as an American citizen are you going to put up with? If you haven’t been paying attention it’s time to start. This rhetoric that stirs up the need for the mentally ill to shoot who their political party doesn’t agree with is insane. We have the right to be heard. We also need to know that not everyone will agree with us but it is NEVER justified to kill someone because you don’t agree with what you are hearing. Walk away and try a non violent way of getting into the hearts and minds of people. If your message is good, that will and always will be enough.
