WILLIAMS: Can we, for one second, understand that as we continue — Scott just got all angry, got real mad, it’s got to be this, got to be this, it’s got to be this. Why can’t we have a discussion about how long is it going to take for us to figure out a way to come back together?

JENNINGS: Yes. And, by the way, I am angry. Just to be clear —

PHILLIP: Can we just let him finish, Scott?

JENNINGS: — I am angry because I knew him.

PHILLIP: Scott, I’ll let you talk in just a second. Go ahead.

WILLIAMS: Could we spend as much time figuring out how we bridge this and come back together again? You know, I used to have a note on my producer’s desk when I did my show, I said, we don’t belabor what happens. We try to figure out why it happens and come up with solutions. Right now, all we’re doing is belaboring what happened over and over and over again. We’re not going to sit down and try to figure out how do we stop it.

LYMAN: You got to go after left-wing terrorist. That’s actually exactly the conversation we’re having, is we’re acknowledging there’s a problem.

WILLIAMS: So, anybody who disagrees with you is a left-wing terrorist?

LYMAN: Absolutely not. But if they target a conservative and murder him in brutal fashion, he’s probably a left wing terrorist.

TANDEN: [INAUDIBLE]

JENNINGS: Let me answer your question.

TANDEN: Yes, that person is a murderer. We can all acknowledge that.

JENNINGS: You said I’m — I’m angry. And I’m just telling — I am channeling the emotions of millions of conservatives who are angry. They knew Charlie. They loved Charlie. They viewed Charlie as a mainstream, conservative, Republican voice who talked about issues that millions of Americans believe. He also talked about his faith and he did it by going to college campuses, which are not normally hospitable to conservatives and offering his opponents a microphone to have what we always say —

WILLIAMS: In support of what? In support of what?

JENNINGS: Civil discourse.

WILLIAMS: Not only that, but support of the First Amendment.

JENNINGS: And guess what?

WILLIAMS: He made sure that people had an opportunity and to stand in a room and talk.

JENNINGS: And guess what? He was murdered trying to do what we always say, why don’t we talk to each other? So, yes, there is — it’s not even been a week. So, you’re going to have to give us a little grace on being angry about somebody who did what you always say that we should do, let’s talk, and he got killed.

WILLIAMS: And he got killed more than a week’s grace over. So, two Michigan [sic] elected officials who were murdered, did we give — was it three weeks before we decided to say that there was something wrong with Speaker Pelosi’s husband’s being hit in the head with a hammer?

JENNINGS: By a homeless drug addict? I mean, it was terrible that that happened. This is not the same kind of case.
