Scott and I have disagreed with Charlie
00:00:01
Kirk many times. You can say what you
00:00:03
want, but having this happen is probably
00:00:05
the most heinous thing that could occur
00:00:07
in a country like the United States.
00:00:09
Everyone has said basically, we condemn
00:00:11
this violence. This is never the
00:00:13
solution. Our hearts and prayers go out
00:00:17
to Charlie and his family. The far right
00:00:19
has had a very similar narrative for
00:00:21
half of it. Our thoughts and prayers go
00:00:22
out to Charlie and his family. And this
00:00:24
is the fault of the radical left. That
00:00:27
is political violence only beggets
00:00:30
political violence. And Trump, our
00:00:32
divider chief, immediately goes on,
00:00:35
highlights political violence against
00:00:37
every Republican, accidentally slips
00:00:39
past every Democrat and says political
00:00:42
violence has to stop and then goes on to
00:00:44
ferment political violence.
00:00:47
For him to shift to that, the only thing
00:00:49
I give him is, okay, he was a friend,
00:00:51
but you're also the president of the
00:00:52
United States, right? I usually never
00:00:54
shocked by Donald Trump, but this one
00:00:56
was sort of shocking to me.
