Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck broke down in tears while learning of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death live on air.

In a gut-wrenching and raw display of grief, megawatt conservative voices Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck broke down live on-air as word came crashing through the studio: Charlie Kirk is dead.

The 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, one of the most potent voices of the MAGA youth movement, was gunned down today in an unmistakable case of political assassination.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that, according to John Solomon, Charlie Kirk has died at the age of 31, citing three sources.

Kirk was in the middle of his “Prove Me Wrong” tour, debating woke ideologies and championing free speech on college campuses, when gunfire erupted around 12:10 PM local time.

On The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly struggled to compose herself as she broke the tragic development to her audience.

Kelly, who has interviewed Kirk numerous times, was visibly shaken. Her voice cracked as she spoke of Kirk’s passing.

On the split screen, Glenn Beck, a longtime friend and mentor to Kirk, was seen bowing his head, his face collapsing into grief.

Megyn Kelly:
There are news outlets reporting the worst right now, Glenn. I don’t know what I’m waiting for before I report it. I trust Just the News. I trust Deseret. What are we waiting for—the AP to say it? We don’t trust them more than we trust these. They’re reporting that Charlie has died, that he’s dead at the age of 31—which he would have to be if that video was real.

Glenn Beck:
There’s no way he survived that. The only other thing is, it had to have happened quickly.

Megyn Kelly:
Right. If you see the video, you do not see any suffering. He appears to have been spared the horrific moments—after that, the girl on the Charlotte train wasn’t, when she knew she was dying, when she knew something terrible had happened. I don’t think Charlie did. It’s clear Charlie went down. He went down quickly.
