Tucker’s Initial Reaction to the Charlie Kirk News

Where are you at right now?

Well, I mean, of course, bewildered. You know, I got back last night and stayed up until probably like everybody, until one in the morning, talking to people and texting people, and then, you know, on X, looking at the reaction. And I woke up this morning and I thought to myself, you know, that's really not the way at all to sit and marinate in the hate,

which I did. I couldn't help it. It's like pornography or snuff videos or something. You're just like mesmerized by it. It's like watching a tragedy over and over. Not the violence, but just the hate. I mean, I must have watched 15 videos of young women celebrating Charlie's death. My first thought was, well, you know,

this is obviously some kind of manufactured attempt to divide the country against itself, and it's probably all fake, and then you look, and it's actually not fake. Here's a teacher from an elementary school in Idaho, and here's a yoga instructor from West Hollywood, and these are real people with real names. And then you realize, boy, the depth of evil out there

is really overwhelming. Do I know the country? Do I know who lives here? What is this? I couldn't turn away and then I realized when I woke up this morning, that's really hurting me. And I woke up to a group text from my wife

to our family text, of course everyone knew Charlie, he was just at our house. And you know, very upset, very upset for a bunch of different reasons. And she sent Luke six, which is like the most radical thing that anyone's ever said.

It's like, no, no, no. Love your enemies. Pray for your persecutors. When someone assaults you, don't fight back, which is impossible, of course. I mean, no one can do that. And it literally takes supernatural intervention for anyone to live that way, much less to feel that way.

for anyone to live that way, much less to feel that way. And that's what's called for, is supernatural intervention.
