- Megyn Kelly mourned the death of Charlie Kirk in the middle of a YouTube broadcast.

- Kelly began the livestream upon the news of Kirk's shooting in Utah and learned of his death while talking with Glenn Beck.

- Kelly called Kirk "one of the most important voices that we've had in my lifetime."

Megyn Kelly broke down while announcing the death of Charlie Kirk.

The former Fox News anchor began a livestream of *The Megyn Kelly Show* to discuss the shooting of the conservative provocateur and reacted to the news of his death while broadcasting alongside right-wing commentator Glenn Beck.

One hour and 18 minutes into the stream, Kelly announced reports of Kirk's death, noting that if a graphic viral video of the shooting was to be believed, he must not have survived the attack.

"They're reporting that Charlie has died," Kelly said through tears. "That he's dead at the age of 31, which he would have to be if that video was real."

Beck, who was also weeping, added, "There's no way he survived that. The only good thing is: It had to have happened quickly."

Kelly agreed. "If you see the video, you do not see any suffering," she said. "He appears to have been spared the horrific moments after."

Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday when a shot struck him in the neck. Donald Trump announced that the shot was fatal on Truth Social about two hours later.

"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead," Trump wrote. "No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"

Elsewhere in her broadcast, Kelly compared the attack to another infamous shooting.

"It looked like when JFK was assassinated," she opined. "The violence with which he keeled back, was hit, the thrust of it. It was very clearly a direct hit, it was obviously, I don't know, some sort of a rifle or shotgun. It had severe velocity."

The commentator also expressed her sympathy to Kirk's wife, Erika, and to his young daughter and son.

"His children have lost their father," she said. "Erika's lost her love. And we have lost one of the most important voices that we've had in my lifetime on the right. One of the most important messengers. Someone sent by God to change minds and hearts on the most important, divisive, difficult issues of our time."

Kirk founded Turning Point USA, an influential right-wing organization with widespread activity on college campuses, in 2012 when he was 18 years old. He has been credited as one of the primary voices that helped mobilize young voters to support Trump's 2024 bid for the presidency.

"One of the reasons why we got Trump is Charlie Kirk," Kelly said. "We all play our part in some small way, but there is no denying the effect Charlie Kirk had on this election."

After Beck left the show, Kelly broke down again while reading a statement confirming the news of Kirk's death from Turning Point COO Justin Streiff.

"I am so sorry to be bringing this news," Kelly said after reading the internal memo. "I am so sorry. I'm sorry for what it means for our country, for Charlie, poor, dear Charlie and his family. I'm sorry for what it's gonna mean for the debates that we have yet to have, that he would have won. He would have put everyone to shame, as he had been. And I'm angry, really f---ing angry, about how this happened, why this happened."

Kirk's shooting has been denounced by Republicans and Democrats alike. JD Vance mourned the late organizer on X, writing "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord."

Utah Governor Spencer Cox called Kirk's killing a "political assassination" at a press conference.

"Our nation is broken," Cox said. "Our hearts are broken. We mourn with his wife, his children, his family, his friends. We mourn as a nation."

Kamala Harris said she was "deeply disturbed" by the incident in a statement on social media.

"Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family," she wrote. "Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence."

California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed similar sentiments.

"The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible," Newsom wrote on X. "In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form."**
