Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Steve Bannon, host of Steve Bannon’s War Room, to discuss new reporting that Jimmy Kimmel was preparing to attack MAGA again instead of issuing an apology for his ghoulish comments about Charlie Kirk and his supporters, how pressure inside ABC and Disney reportedly led to his suspension, what Kimmel’s suspension reveals about the current cultural shift, the collapse of institutional media credibility, the embarrassing displays of sadness over Kimmel, the ongoing unhinged leftist reaction to Charlie's death, the cultural fear of a rising Christian movement, the gaslighting we're seeing from the media, and more. Then Dr. Frank Turek, president of CrossExamined.org, joins to discuss Charlie Kirk's faith journey, his belief that "politics is peanuts," his vast knowledge base and quest for learning, his devotion to faith and marriage, how it's possible a devil could take out an angel like Charlie, very real security concerns that day, how Charlie was like a combination of Billy Graham and Rush Limbaugh, what he witnessed just steps away from Charlie Kirk that fateful day, Kirk's final moments, what happened at the hospital, and more.

0:17.4	Charlie Kirk's show yesterday in Arizona, an experience that was emotional and honestly, it was cathartic.
0:24.0	I think it was cathartic for me,
0:25.3	and I think some of the folks at Turning Point felt that way,
0:28.2	just that we had the chance to sit around Charlie's desk
0:31.2	and share some fun stories about him.
0:33.6	You know, it was, of all the dark days since he died,
0:57.3	that was less dark, right? Because we, you know, we had the chance to sit around and remember what we loved about him and some of the silly things about him.
