America has lost one of the greatest communicators to have ever, I'm telling you, to have ever lived.

There was no one like Charlie Kirk.

He was able to debate with such finesse, with such manners, with such kindness, with such

empathy.

The left tried to villainize him and clearly succeeded with someone.

Charlie Kirk, 31 years old, no longer with us today.

I have had a very, very rough 24 hours or so.

A little longer than that, actually.

Some of you saw me break down here on this show

yesterday as we got the live news in. I had known Charlie a very long time. I was one of the first

people to put him on TV as a regular on my show back on Fox. I said, wow, this kid is good.

Was he ever? Right? Was he ever? And I'll also say, like, the influence that he had on American

youth was just tremendous. My own kids, in fact, you know, it's one thing. I told you, it's one thing

when mom and dad say something, especially when mom says something. But when Charlie said it, when Charlie said it,

they would listen. And they watched his videos, and they loved him. And they said to me last night,

Mom, we feel like we've lost a friend. They never knew him. They may have met him once in the

green room at Fox, but they didn't know them, of course, like I knew them.

And I said, you're not the only ones.

I think all of America, all of conservative America, feels like they have lost a friend.

But right now, we're in the business of trying to make sure that we see justice

and that we find out just exactly who was responsible for

this heinous, heinous, heinous, heinous crime because we need justice and we're not going to give up.
