MEDIA HOST MEGYN KELLY REMEMBERS CHARLIE KIRK IN TUCKER CARLSON INTERVIEW



Tonight, Conservative influencer Tucker Carlson weighing in on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.


Carlson warning against using Kirk's murder to impose 'hate speech' laws critical of comments made by Attorney General Pam Bondi that she has walked back in recent hours.


He also noted that Kirk was critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Kirk viewing Netanyahu as someone using the United States to wage unacceptable warfare in Gaza and Iran.




Carlson says Kirk was informed by his Christian faith in his views including views on economic disenfranchisement of younger people.



The hostility of Left-Wing activists towards Kirk was also discussed.



Guests included media host Megyn Kelly who said Kirk was converting people to his views at a rapid pace influencing young voters towards Donald Trump in 2024.


"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams speaking of a 'mass hysteria' that defined Kirk as a "Hitler", a 'hater' and a 'fascist'.



Cenk Uyghur Democrat leaning media host recalling happy times debating Charlie Kirk and even appearing as a guest on Kirk's show.


Uyghur noted Kirk's concern about increasing corporate power in the United States reflecting Uyghur's own views.



Father Josiah Trenham, an Orthodox Priest and former Presbyterian, told Carlson time is needed to process the loss of Charlie Kirk.   


This means no quick conclusions should be reached during a period of mourning.



Mr. Carlson also emphasizing he is not implying in any way shape or form responsibility for the assassination of Charlie Kirk with his comments regarding Kirk and Israel-Netanyahu.


Carlson's podcast follows news on social media in the last 24 hours about Kirk's intense confrontation with big financial donors at a party in the Hamptons on New York's Long Island.



At that early August party Kirk said to have faced off with billionaire Bill Ackman and others over his association with Carlson and others not supportive of the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in regards to matters like the Gaza and Iran wars.


Ackman has poured massive amounts of money into electing President Trump and other politicians since the October 7th, 2023 attacks on Israel.



Mr. Ackman denying he threatened Kirk...
