In the video, Charlamagne tha God discussed with the congresswoman the violence that stemmed from the speech.

"I think we all incite, whether we think we do or not. And what I mean by that is I've definitely, you know, called that regime fascist, right? If you hear somebody call him H*tler, or what he calls us, racist scumbags," the podcaster said.

He continued:

"If there's somebody that thinks, oh, Hitler, and then they look at some they look at a lot of the actions that are going on, they're like, 'Well, let's prevent this before, you know, four million people get killed.' Like, so I can understand how all of it incites violence."

At the start of the show, Charlamagne tha God said Crockett was the first person who came to his mind when he heard about Charlie Kirk's assassination. He added that he didn't think anyone "should be killed or attacked" for their "opinions."
