Charlie Kirk on the mass shooting in Maine: “You need to be armed, you need to be prepared to defend yourself and your family”
Kirk: “Evil is everywhere, more so than any other time than I've been alive. Evil in our streets, evil in our schools, evil in our government, evil domestically, evil foreign.”

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): We have this scumbag psychopath who said, oh, I heard voices, and he previously said he wanted to shoot up a national guard place. Should have been put in an insane asylum, period.
Went for mental health treatment and now unnecessarily 16 to 17 people are dead. Simultaneously, you have in Vegas, the two young men who did a joyride and killed the retired police officer. They're laughing in court. They're laughing.
And this is evil that it's just so hard to wrap our heads around. I believe, of course, there is a spiritual dynamic to this.
So is the answer to take guns away? Is the answer to pass legislation? I was watching MSNBC a little bit, just a little bit, and they couldn't help themselves. They couldn't help themselves, but say, we need stricter gun laws.
…
Here is a brutal but honest truth of the world we live in. Evil is everywhere, more so than any other time then I've been alive. Evil in our streets, evil in our schools, evil in our government, evil domestically, evil foreign.
So is the response then to trust the government to keep us safe? No, the callous, but direct truth is this, is that you need to be armed, you need to be prepared to defend yourself and your family.
We're not going to see a decline in this until there is a spiritual or a cultural turnaway.
