Why is Megyn Kelly fact‑checking the New York Times piece about Charlie Kirk?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. I've been working on this piece for a couple of days now. I've mentioned it on the show multiple days this week. And you're going to find out in a minute why I'm doing it. I'm sick and tired. I'm sick and tired of what they're doing to Charlie Kirk. in the aftermath of his assassination. And the talking points that are now circulating about him on the left are vile and unfortunately viral. They're everywhere, from the New York Times to The Guardian and beyond. There's a narrative emerging about him, and it must be countered. The truth must be spoken and made plain. And I hope both fans of this show and critics of Charlie's will do themselves the favor of listening to what I have to say.
The turning point revolution is in full swing right now. This past Tuesday at Utah State, students proved they will not bow to terrorism, showing up to hear a collection of conservatives speak in the same venue Charlie was supposed to. Some 6,000 people were there, showing the world that the Charlie Kirk effect is real and it's formidable. By the way, if you would like to send your own message that we will not be silenced by the radical left, come see us on our live tour. You can get the tickets at megankelly.com. But it is that very force of Charlie's growing power that explains why he is now coming under withering attack. First of all, this is so inappropriate. He is barely in his grave, killed by someone who said he was too hateful to live.
And what does the left do? Try to prove the shooter's point. It's disgusting. And it's no different than discussing whether insurance companies are bad immediately after the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot dead by an unhappy activist. Maybe let's wait until, say, the headstone has been put up before we start debating the merits of the assassins argument. The most disgusting among the chattering class last week was easily the New York Times contributor Nicole Hannah-Jones, along with author Ta-Nehisi Coates, both of whom have made a fortune by telling America how racist it is and always will be. We addressed the Coats attack on Charlie last week in episode 1160. Today we get to Nicole Hannah-Jones. See, neither Coats nor Jones can afford to have Charlie's pro-America, colorblind, anti-woke legacy grow.
It would kill what's left of their gravy train. Too many kids are creating turning point chapters. Too many Americans showing up at vigils.
Too many young black men circulating videos like these on X. I think I'm at a point in life where I can officially say that I'm conservative. Growing up, you know, especially black, all you do is just vote blue, vote Democratic. But my beliefs, my morals, what it's like. All the lines were being conservative. The older I've gotten and what I've seen, what they push in their agendas, and like, they literally just mock the Bible. Charlie Kirk got shot in the fucking neck. That was the last bastion. I can't be a liberal no fucking more. You see the fucking comments? I hope the gun is okay. The same fucking people asking for moral decency. I cannot in good faith align myself with you guys anymore. We not only lost a political, one of the greatest political activists in American history,
But we lost one of the greatest champions for Christ that we've seen in politics. This man's message was pure. It was not a message of hate. It was a message of unity. Now, I'll be the first to admit I didn't agree with every view he held. But there is one thing I cannot deny. Charlie was unashamed of his belief in Jesus Christ. And in an age where faith is often mocked or silenced, he stood boldly and proclaimed the name above every name.
And for that, I honor him. So, Nicole Hannah-Jones pulls a bunch of Charlie quotes removed from their context or any wider look at who Charlie really was to paint him as a racist. She actually calls him a white supremacist in this piece. We shouldn't be surprised Jones' bread and butter has been race lies in the New York Times.
