Scott and I have disagreed with Charlie Kirk many times. You can say what you want, but having this happen is probably
00:00:05
the most heinous thing that could occur in a country like the United States. Everyone has said basically, we condemn
00:00:11
this violence. This is never the solution. Our hearts and prayers go out to Charlie and his family. The far right
00:00:19
has had a very similar narrative for half of it. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie and his family. And this
00:00:24
is the fault of the radical left. That is political violence only beggets political violence. And Trump, our
00:00:32
divider chief, immediately goes on, highlights political violence against every Republican, accidentally slips
00:00:39
past every Democrat and says political violence has to stop and then goes on to ferment political violence.
00:00:47
For him to shift to that, the only thing I give him is, okay, he was a friend, but you're also the president of the
00:00:52
United States, right? I usually never shocked by Donald Trump, but this one was sort of shocking to me.
