Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

I would implore you to not use FOX news as your go-to.

... not FOX, not CNN, not MSNBC, not CBS, not PBS, not NPR, not BBC, etc etc
If you are going to come down on one for being biased ... then do them all.
They ALL are biased.

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News has a solution:
Just kill them. Say they were homeless and refused to go to jail.
Yes, Brian Kilmeade really said this:

Wait a minute! Who are we fighting again?

That's not real. How do I know ? I checked every major network and not one of them is running that story.

ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and especially MSNBC are all Left leaning networks and they would have this as their top story, using it to accuse Conservatives of being mass murderers.

It is not real - it is the same tactic as the 'both sides' propaganda.
We need to focus on rooting out those that lie like this on purpose to cause trouble - most just don't look into it, get angry and repost without proper research, but the ones who design this kind of propaganda and push it on purpose as part of a political and ideological strategy are truly nasty people who need to be prosecuted.

Yeah, he's not talking about all homeless people, just violent killers, perhaps? The host speaking before him begins his statement in the specific and moves to the more general category of homeless and 'mentally ill'. Kilmeade perhaps had his rhetorical bloodsnipe queued up before realizing that. Here's the transcript from Media Matters:

LAWRENCE JONES (FOX HOST): We don't have to — we feel so compassionate because you see the mental health crisis happening.

AINSLEY EARHARDT (FOX HOST): You just get — exactly.

JONES But it's not our job — we shouldn't have to live in fear while they figure out what is going on right there.

EARHARDT: Right, right.

JONES: Put him in a mental institution, put him in a jail, and you guys figure it out. But people having to duck and dive on the trains and the buses, walking through the street, this is one case, but this is happening all across the country, and it's not a money issue. They have given billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population. A lot of them don't want to take the programs, a lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary. You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're going to give you and — or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be now.

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.

JONES: Yeah.

KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.

EARHARDT: Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?

KILMEADE: Right, I would say this, we are not voting for the right people. In North Carolina, wake up. You can't put — keep putting these people in power. They woke up in Los Angeles, they got a stronger D.A. They woke up and they got rid of Chesa Boudin in San Francisco. Hopefully they will get rid of this terrible guy Alvin Bragg in New York. And now it's up to the people in the election which is whoever is up in November and that Senate seat that belongs to Thom Tillis who by the way yesterday said I don't want any help from the federal government to bring crime under control in cities like Charlotte. That's your decision. But Michael Whatley or you could have Governor Cooper. Governor Cooper gave you these terrible laws. Mike Whatley wouldn't. And he ran the RNC. These are the people in North Carolina. Purple leaning red state. They got a big choice. On this element, it is political. Because it's political because politics has to change this.

We live in an age where audio and video are easily manipulated and deep fakes are rampant. 

The easiest way to check is just go to their competitors. If they screwed up, their rivals will take full advantage.

[FlyersFan]

Yeah, he's not talking about all homeless people, just violent killers, perhaps? 

yeah, Reading the transcript it really looks like he was just talking about the killers.
It wasn't 'all homeless people'.
A little common sense is needed here ...

Looks like you didn't try hard enough.  Newsweek

Kilmeade then interjected with his execution proposal: "Or involuntary lethal injection."
When Jones responded "Yeah," Kilmeade continued: "Or something. Just kill them."
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt showed no objection to the statement, instead asking: "Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?"

Or you could try Independent , Pennlive

I'm not sure how this could have been taken out of context. Very clear, and direct.

[David64]

*shrug* I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

If he did say that, then I expect Fox to kick his ass out and not find a way to excuse it. We'll have to wait and see, but there's not a peep from the major networks and you know how they love to stir the pot.

Hoo-boy! Finally something to bring peace and sanity to this divisive political climate.

Nah, just kidding, it's an authoritarian government expansion into free speech rights, of course.

Excerpt from video: “We are on a dangerous path right now with the constant lies and the propaganda. And that doesn’t end just at news journalists. It needs to go to content creators who consistently spread lies and propaganda and half-truths across the internet. This needs to end, and people need to start being held accountable for baseless claims over absolute abysmal things."

I found this on Change.org. Not gonna link it because it's a petition.

 

We find ourselves calling for the reimplementation of the Smith-Mundt Act, a pivotal legislative piece that safeguarded the American public from the manipulation and dissemination of false information. However, in this new era, it should be revitalized and renamed as the Charlie Kirk Act. This amended act will hold media outlets, radio stations, educators, and content creators accountable for the false narratives and erroneous information they spread deliberately or irresponsibly.
