![]() GLENN: They are not even proving a point. Where's the common sense? I mean, you don't call the police unless you're trying to make a point and unless you don't support the Second Amendment and you're trying to prove a point, but they I mean, the kid is asking permission to take the gun home, he's an Eagle Scout, an honor student, never has caused any trouble. I'm not in that part of the country very often and but I couldn't believe how unreasonable and politically correct the administrators were. And so I think it was just one of those things, it was meant to be. And so we have a special fund for kids that are outstanding and like Cole and so it wasn't a hard decision for me to make to award him a scholarship and to make sure that he's able to go to Liberty for four years and graduate. So he was going to go to a state college and I found out he was an honors student, an Eagle Scout, just the type of student that we're looking for here at Liberty. ![]() So I reached him through Facebook, ended up talking to him late at night at the hotel room, found out that his dream was to attend Liberty University but couldn't afford it. A dear family friend of my wife's, we were there for her funeral and I was watching the late news at the hotel room, saw the story about Cole that you just described and saw the Liberty T shirt, called found on Facebook and saw that his sister was a graduate of Liberty. So yesterday you called Cole up?įALWELL: Well, I was in North Carolina. Jerry, how are you, sir? Are you there? How are ya?

Could you come go could you come and get it for me?" Well, he tries to do the right thing, but he's overheard by somebody in the office and so they immediately say, "Oh, my goodness, there's a shotgun and this crazy kid has it. And he's calling from the office and he says, "Hey, Mom, can you come? My truck is locked. So he goes right to the office and he makes a phone call.
