Charlie Kirk’s widow gives tearful address after shooting: ‘I will never let your legacy die’

We’ve been listening
back to Wednesday’s episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, released just hours
before he was killed.

The
31-year-old covered a range of
right-wing talking points that have been driving the week’s political agenda,
including some which Trump and the White House have repeatedly drawn attention
to. They included ICE deportations in Chicago, the murder of a Ukrainian
refugee and what Kirk called the “ever-increasing amount of black
crime”.

During a discussion with
a Department of Homeland Security official early in the podcast, Kirk said city
mayors who do not co-operate with federal ICE raids should be “in
jail”.

On the show,
he also made the false claim that George Floyd, who was murdered by a white
police officer in 2020, had died of an “overdose”.

In one segment, Kirk
discussed the murder of Iryna
Zarutska, and claimed “empirical” data showed
that “black people killing white people” was the “most common
race-based hate attack” in America.

“See the left, they
don’t like it when I say things like this. But I’m sorry,” he said.

According to the latest FBI crime data, external,
10,805 hate crimes were reported in the US in the past year, with 2,872 against
black people, while 847 were recorded as “anti-white”.
