Why did Megyn decide to continue Charlie Kirk’s tour after his murder?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Thank you all so much for coming. Sit, sit. Please get comfortable. This is incredible. I love you too. I sincerely love you. You guys, this is such a big night. This is a huge one for us as a team. I hope for you, this is the last night of the tour and there is no place I would rather be. I love you so much. You guys know we announced this tour before Charlie. And he was supposed to be with us in Bakersfield, California. And then he was murdered. And immediately we turned to the question of whether we should still go, right? I mean, absolutely wound up being the answer. But I'm not gonna lie, we had some long talks about it at home. You know, my husband, my children, and me. Is it safe? Can we keep it safe for you guys, for us, for my team?
And the more we thought about it, and you know, my husband was not in favor. And as my therapist said, your husband's behaving as your husband should. You know, Doug was saying the right things, and then I had to say the right things for me. And he's been totally supportive as soon as I made my decision. But it became very clear to me, very clear to me, as Charlie's friend, as somebody who's in the same industry as Charlie, and as somebody who has been fighting for the same principles as Charlie for a very long time, there was no not doing this tour. Let me tell you something. It took guts for every single one of you and everyone who has shown up to all of the tour stops to do it. It's not just a matter of me putting myself on this stage.
It's a matter of you guys getting out there. You understand the environment we're in. Hell, just to declare yourself a conservative in this environment is actually an act of courage. You know, Charlie liked to say, be a rebel, be a conservative. That's what's rebellious. That's what's cool, subversive, right? The liberals control everything. They control big media. They control the movies. They control the sports. They control corporate America. They used to control politics up until about 13 months ago or so, right? And the best way to honor Charlie's legacy, truly, these are not just words. You see a lot of people posting things online like, for Charlie, for Charlie. This one really is for Charlie. We are here to make sure his assassin, the people who laughed about it, the people who celebrated it, get the message that they can fuck right off.
Fuck off. You can't stop us. There are millions of us. Millions. I love you too. And I know, I know, God forbid, anything were ever happen to me, and I certainly pray Jesus it doesn't, you guys would be out there doing this for me. I know you would. I apologize to the people of Arizona and the Turning Point students who have been grieving and have had to deal with the vitriol from these haters who say the terrible things. But I am so encouraged that they are a minuscule number when you look at the groundswell of support and revival and faith and unifying nature that's overtaken us all in the wake of Charlie's death. I feel much more united with the people who are here and the people who are fighting the same demons we are than I do divided from people who are having a minor spat right now over, yes, it's Israel, but we're going to get past it.
We are. It's dividing the Republican right. We'll get through it. We always fight. We love fighting on the Republican side. We love fighting in general. Usually we direct all our ire at the left, and that feels good. When we're in power, we don't want to start picking on each other. Then we don't feel as good. But we're going to get through that. Because we have the same basic fundamental values. And those values include knowing who your enemy is. And it is literally the people who are firing bullets at us. It's a great way to end the tour with the beautiful people for whom I started it, in a way. And I know that this whole thing has hit you guys in a particular way. And that long after the nation moves on, the people who are driving by the Turning Point HQ every day are not.
