My name is Charlie Kirk.
I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You got to stop sending your kids to college.
You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter.
Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
Go find out how your church can get involved.
Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
Most important decision I ever made in my life.
And I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am.
Lord, use me.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we
go.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
I'm Andrew Andrew Colvett, executive producer of this fine show.
Joined, as always, by the one and only Blake Neff, our secret weapon, our not-so-secret weapon.
He loves that nickname.
And, of course, Brandon Tatum, the officer Brandon Tatum.
Thank you for joining us, my friend.
It's my pleasure.
You are a Phoenix local.
You have been with us in and around Turning Point USA for many years, speaking at our events, tabling with us.
And, I mean, you're doing amazing work, work, my friend.
And we're just honored to have you in studio next to the chair, next to Charlie's chair.
Yeah, it's surreal, man.
It's surreal being here, looking at the chair and seeing all Charlie's stuff and everything he's done and built.
So
I got mixed emotions, man.
You know, I feel angry.
It makes me angry now that I'm here physically, you know.
But also, I'm still optimistic that, you know, God has his purpose and plan, and Charlie was a big part of that.
Yeah, man.
Well, you've, like I said, you've, you know, one of the themes that we've been talking about in a lot of our shows is the fact that there's a lot of left-wing violence, the rise of left-wing violence.
And, you know, you have seen it firsthand doing some of the work with us at TPOSA.
And I think it was just in April, as a matter of fact, wasn't that long ago.
So
I'm told there may be swear words in this clip, so let's play it as B-roll.
But this was you tabling at UC Davis,
doing kind of your own prove me wrong in April when a bunch of Antifa thugs came up and basically robbed the whole table, took the tent.
Oh, yeah.
Tell us what happened here.
They were nutty, man.
It was outrageous.
The interesting part is that when I showed up to campus, they had already come to the table and destroyed it the first time.
I wasn't aware of that.
As soon as I got out the car, they were like, we're being attacked by the Antifa, and the phone hung up.
And then by the time I got from the car to the campus, they had already reset up everything and it looked like everything was back to normal.
The video team did a really good job at doing that.
And so I didn't realize what had happened.
I see Antifa, you know, retreating and they're playing all this music and they're all dressed in black and the police are just standing around doing nothing.
So I assumed that nothing serious had happened.
And then they come back and they come back and the video team was telling me, man,
we don't.
We want to leave.
Like these people are violent.
They punched a couple of us.
And I remember addressing the police officers head on.
I said, Look, man, you know, as a former cop, like, you guys have an obligation to protect us.
What are you going to do if they come back?
You know, am I going to have to swing on these people or are you going to do something?
And they literally told me to my face that we're not going to do anything.
We're just going to cancel the event.
And I said, that's not right.
If they come back, we got to be able to defend ourselves.
Yeah, you guys weren't doing anything wrong.
You're sitting there having a conversation and engaging in dialogue.
And they were just like, instead of punishing the bad guys here, the people that are trying to interrupt the event and disrupt everything, steal everything, we're just going to tell you you can't do this anymore.
Andrew, we didn't even start yet.
I wasn't even on campus yet.
They were just setting up the cameras, and they came and attacked everybody.
And then we hadn't even had a chance to say anything.
And the funny, ironic part of it is that their violence have no filter.
They claim they support blacks and black and brown bodies and all this stuff.
But a black man comes on campus, they don't say what they want to say.
They're willing to attack us, and nobody's going to say anything about it.
And it was very troubling to see what they did.
You know, I had to, you know, defend a couple people and push a little non-binaries out the way a little bit.
A part of it, personally, I wanted to just go one by one and
knock them all out, which I probably could have because they were all soft and weak and cowards.
But, you know, I wanted to do it in the spirit of Charlie.
Charlie wouldn't want to knock these people out.
Maybe he wanted to, but he wouldn't.
He would have been peaceful and saying, you know, don't touch him, let him go.
But, you know, I had a little more
in me on that day.
But, you know, I kept it.
I took one of their bikes and
one-on-one flying a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, but I had to give them some wings there for a little minute.
But it's really worth pausing there on the fact that we've had this debate going back and forth the last few weeks where you've had
the ADL Cato coming out and being like, actually, most violence is right wing.
But something like that, where a bunch of violent goons disrupted, forced essentially the cancellation of an event, attacked a bunch of people, that's never going to go into their stats, even though that sort of thing happens all the time and is absolutely a form of political violence.
Did any of them get arrested?
No.
Of course not.
No, no, and they struck a woman right in front of police.
I was standing next to her.
I said, you see what she, they just hit that woman, and it was what you see the person that walked from behind, hit her in the head, so they can identify the person.
They didn't even pursue them, right?
They went back to a central location to stage when they got on the scene and they left the same way,
right in front of the police station, and nobody got arrested.
Well, I mean, there's two things that come to mind with this.
Let's first play Katie Davis court.
She's a reporter for the post-millennial.
She's been to turning point events
and, you know, she's a great person.
She's super courageous.
So she's out in Portland documenting the riots and the vandalism and the thuggery that's going on outside the ICE facility in Portland.
And she got punched.
Play Cut 108.
The Trump administration is absolutely correct in deploying federal troops here because portland police has completely abandoned this zone they refuse to go in and everyone that shows up is on their own so it's kind of like chaz or chop was in seattle they just
i guess secede this territory cede it to antifa and they just let everything play out
Yeah, that's absolutely correct.
Yeah, so it's kind of going to what you're talking about.
You go into these blue areas.
So you're at UC Davis, which is a known hotbed for Antifa.
It's a known hotbed for just far-left political craziness.
She's up in Portland/slash Seattle, and she's describing the same thing where these cops are not getting, you know, and this is the whole argument, by the way, for why we need the National Guard, because the cops and the local mayors and the governors are not backing these police officers to do their job.
So they get, they stand back, they get tepid, and they just let these thugs run roughshod over law-abiding people.
Right, it's insane to me.
Because to be quite honest, and obviously people know that I was a cop, it's easy for police officers to get these things under control.
You have to start early.
When they start gathering, you have to start integrating yourself in the crowd, making sure they disperse, not letting them build up and create riots.
It's very easy to do it.
We did it at the University of Arizona after the basketball tournaments, whether win or lose.
They riot and flip over cars and burn them.
You were in Tucson.
Yeah, we're in Tucson.
So we integrate in the crowd we do it early we get there early you know we kind of i would say we make friends with people well you also assert authority we
see we did it in a in a different way right we came out early we integrated into the crowd therefore they could not build uh units of violence and we did that so that we didn't have to get the riot gear out and if if it came to it we'll get the ride gear out and we were going full bore
And they could do that, but they're refusing to do it.
They have the manpower to do it, but they're refusing to use that tactic.
They don't care.
They want them to have free reign to shut us down.
And going back to your point, they can say all they want about the right-wing violence and all of this other stuff.
They will never show a video.
There isn't a video that exists of a left-leaning person going to campus, doing a speech, a tabling, or anything like that, and conservatives or people on the right bludgeoning them.
The video don't exist.
The video don't exist of left-wing nutjobs going in the street and pushing abortion and conservatives are just beating them up and doing all this stuff.
The videos don't exist.
By the way, we've said it before, but it bears repeating again and again and again.
Our friend, Charlie Kirk, gets assassinated.
We didn't burn down cities.
We didn't loot businesses.
There wasn't mass rioting and mass violence taken to the streets.
What was there?
It was vigils and memorials and prayer.
We are not the same.
Because ultimately, the issue, yeah, these politicians are endemic of a larger issue because they're coddling these domestic terrorists, these violent extremists, the actual violent extremists.
But
it's a core, it's a feature, it's not a bug of leftism that you resort to violence because you believe that it's justified.
You're not anchored in some deeper Christian truth about that, you know.
God's uh God is, you know, vengeance belongs to the Lord or that government should wield the sword.
No, that's not what that's about.
They think that they need to take it into their own hands, and we're seeing that again and again.
And so you've seen it firsthand.
Officer Brandon Tatum.
Wait, is it the Officer Brandon Tatum?
Whatever you're doing.
The Officer Tatum.
Some people know me as Officer The Tatum.
Yeah.
Like Megan B.
Scowl.
The artist formerly known as, you know,
is there the or not?
Yeah, so listen, man.
I mean, you are one of the people that can speak firsthand to being
in the streets, on these campuses, debating debating them, looking them in the face.
For the audience that has never done this and probably will never do this, I mean, explain
how much courage it takes.
Explain what these people are really like, and, you know, just paint the picture.
Yeah, I think the biggest level of courage, in my personal opinion, comes from the young people tabling.
You know, they're young.
They're getting accosted by their peers, and it's a little more difficult than me because I'm a grown man, and I got kids.
These little non-binaries on campus that act the food really don't bother me as much, but I do give my hat off to the young people that are doing that day in and day out.
But it is very concerning when you go to campus and you listen to the ideology.
It's not just the violence, because some campuses are more prone to violence than others.
You know, when I went to the University of Texas, everybody was reasonable, but the mind wasn't reasonable.
Out of every kid I talk to, and I do it for about three hours, and we probably talk to, I don't know, 100 kids, you know, maybe like 40, 50 of them ask questions that are substantive.
Good faith questions.
Good faith questions.
But the problem is, is that I haven't been in college since 2009.
These kids are currently in school and don't know anything about history.
They don't know how to critically think.
They are being brainwashed.
And I'm not saying it's all of them because there are some that have a good faith discussion and they're open-minded and many of them change their mind.
This is why we do it.
But it is troubling because I'm very concerned that the average kid that that goes to college is literally probably going there to get drunk on the weekends and have fun.
I don't think they're learning anything.
I don't think they're pursuing education like we did back in the day.
There's no open debate.
And it's also troubling to hear when you have conservative students come and tell you how they're being treated on campus, how they're being treated from professors.
It's insane because just not too long ago, when I was in college, between 05 and 09,
we had these topics come up about transgenderism and everything like that.
And it was very peaceful and reasonable.
I took the study of sexuality 101, right?
And they had a trans person come to our class.
And it wasn't pushing it down your throat.
The person literally came down there and said, Here is what I am.
Here's what I represent.
And just so you're aware of what my people go through.
And nobody was forced into listening.
Nobody had to go to the class.
Nobody had to participate.
And I felt informed because I know nothing about trans people.
And they were honest because they had another person who was trans.
It was a guy.
It was was a person who was born ambiguous.
And the doctor actually picked male, and he probably should have been a female.
And he ended up taking his own life.
But they were honest about the mental health crisis that's going on.
And it was a very fair and balanced argument.
And therefore, you could receive information better that way.
Nowadays, it's propaganda.
You see it in college campuses and you see it in schools.
You know, my son went to a school in Seattle, and it was a propaganda center.
I almost got in trouble at that school.
They literally had in the math class, my son wasn't doing very well in math.
So, as a good father, I go to the school to check out what's going on.
They had LGBTQ flags that were as big as the walls
in the math class.
What is being gay got to do with math?
Cultural capture.
Capturing the institutions.
It was insane.
It was insane.
So, you know, the college campuses are a reflection of that.
And I hope we get to the bottom of why this propaganda is being.
Well, this is one of the reasons Charlie railed against the college cartel because so much of our institutional capture, right, the long march through the institutions has started on college campuses.
It's funded by college campuses.
The research that undergirds it and justifies it is at college campuses.
Blake, you know, you and Charlie, I know, talked a lot about the college cartel and why college is a scam.
I mean, maybe just, I mean, you went to Dartmouth.
You are, I think, the most popular alum of Dartmouth, aren't you?
You have a fan of the colours.
I think I've been denounced a few times.
I mean,
how bad are the Ivies?
Well, it varies from Ivy to Ivy.
And sometimes, you know, what's funny is sometimes the stereotypes don't even match reality.
The funniest one for me was, I think in 2020, and maybe in 24 too, but I think definitely 2020, Brown has the reputation as the most liberal Ivy, but I think it had the highest Trump voting percentage because it's also just a, it's a weird Ivy, I think, as part of it.
So it's just, it's going to get people who are a little different.
And then like Dartmouth had a reputation as a conservative one.
And a good number of notable conservatives have gone there.
Dinesh Souza went there, Laura Ingram went there.
I guess I went there.
Dartmouth.
Yeah, Dartmouth.
Dartmouth.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, Laura was the editor of the conservative review.
Yeah, the Dartmouth Review.
A lot of people end up going there because the Dartmouth Review had...
Dinesh would write about it in all of his books, and it got very kind of famous for that reason.
But yeah, the college cartel,
it's operating kind of at every level.
And when we just had this news story, now there's kind of a Harvard knockoff drudge report, and I guess they recently hired a professor who Moonlights has a drag queen named.
I actually don't think I can say the name on this show, but you can look up Harvard drag queen professor and you'll find the name.
And I'm not going to say anything, you'll look it up.
We're not going to be able to say it, but
now I want to know what the name is.
Yeah, oh, he'll tell you, he'll tell you in the break.
We're mystifying everyone now.
But so you have that, there's so many things that go into it.
You have the fact that it's overpriced because we subsidize it, and when you subsidize the ability to pay for it, shocker, they just make their prices go up.
And there's also so much
like fake knowledge production going on where, yeah, they'll hire this drag queen as some sort of professor of like,
you know, you know, sequencing DNA or, you know, you know, or even if you're going to do the humanities, do the humanities.
Like, I think people would actually be fine with English professors and history professors if they were studying Shakespeare and if they were studying, like, oh, let's make sure we know as much as we possibly can about, you you know, the Roman Empire and the time of Christ or the English Civil Wars.
There's things that you can study legitimately, but they've been totally subsumed into this political apparatus where you're only going to hire a history professor if their specialty is something hyper-political.
So they'll talk about queer studies and XYZ, or they'll take a historical topic and they'll make it entirely about race or entirely about gender.
And most people are not interested in that.
Most people say this is political propaganda.
You eventually get professors who are see
politics as their full-time job.
You know, one of the professors we had at Maryland, she was quoted in Nicole Hannah Jones did that disgusting piece in the New York Times over the weekend.
She had this gross piece attacking Charlie.
And one of the things she cites is that there is this professor at the University of Maryland
who
basically was mad because she was on the professor watch list.
And she complains, she's like, I was on the professor watch list for doing my job, for seeking social justice.
Wait, no, you're a public university professor.
Seeking social justice is not your job.
That's right.
Your job is to teach people actually useful knowledge.
Yeah.
But that's an example of how entitled a huge number of academics have become.
Well, and we should almost have this clip.
I think it's just about ready.
126.
This is actually Cam Higbee.
I don't know which campus he was on or where he was doing this table.
I think he did it at Union Station.
Was it Union Station?
Okay, so he's out doing tabling now, and I guess there was a swear word, so we're just going to throw it as B-roll.
But he's sitting sitting here, somebody comes up, assaults him, and then he has to pull out mace and sprays this guy a lot.
So, yeah, play it back.
So, this guy comes in, and then he then punches him right there.
Is that guy wearing like a Crusader shirt?
I don't know, but he ends up spraying him with mace.
I mean, and then you've got you got Steven Crowder who's going back out.
He, he's, he's not announcing where he's going.
He's kind of doing like a pop-up version, right?
Where he's he's putting on it, he's got a
vest on, bulletproof vest.
He's got about, you know, 20 security guards.
He's got bulletproof glass blocking the way.
I mean, this is what it's come to.
Brandon Tatum, take us into the break here.
You got about a minute.
I mean, what do you make of all this?
Well, I think we need to change.
I think we need to call it out.
I think we need to enforce the law a lot more.
And I think we need to keep speaking out because it's not an equal amount of disagreement on both sides.
These people are radical nut jobs.
They're crazy.
They're evil.
They're being propagated to, and they want violence.
They want to kill us.
They don't want to talk.
They don't want to reason with us.
And, you know, the person that assassinated Charlie, what did he say?
Sometimes they don't want to talk it out.
They can't win an argument.
So they'd rather kill you than win an argument.
And, you know, the beauty of how God works, you know, because I know we're running out of time, but the joke's on them because Charlie's legacy is just going to get bigger.
And there's going to be more people on campus.
And there's going to be more conversations.
And people are going to be emboldened.
There's going to be more Charlies.
and these cowards are going to lose at the end of the day.
But we do need to keep fighting back.
Amen, man.
Hi, America.
It's Andrew with the Charlie Kirk Show here.
President Trump walked into a catch-22 when he took office.
If he had done nothing, America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.
Instead, he's taken action with tariffs and strong policies to slow the train and buy us time.
But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system.
And once companies' lower-cost inventory burns off, experts predict dramatic price increases and market uncertainty.
Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.
And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.
Preserve gold is our go-to choice at the Charlie Kirk Show.
We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver, even inside your retirement accounts, like an IRA or 401k.
Get their free wealth protection guide by texting FREEDOM to 50505.
With a qualified purchase, you can get up to $20,000 in free gold and silver.
President Trump is fighting for America's future.
Now it's your turn to help protect yours.
Listen, we committed as a team.
Blake, I don't know if I've even talked to you.
One of the biggest episodes we've ever done as a show, ever, was when we debunked a lot of the lies that have been spreading, viral lies on social media.
Still spreading.
Still spreading.
And so what we've committed as a team to do is just like whack-a-mole.
We're just gonna keep we're gonna keep hitting it's a good excuse to keep showing good charlie clips yeah exactly and so i'm gonna play let's just let's just
you know we got a couple here on lockdown um for charlie on uh dei so let's go ahead and play this is the one that seems to be spreading the most and this is the accusation brandon that charlie was saying women don't have or black women do not have enough brain processing power.
That's their cherry-picked top line.
That's what they've taken.
It's like a
complete misquote, but it's popped up everywhere.
I think that's also in the Hannah Jones one.
So I'm going to play, it's a long clip, but just play it through.
You'll hear what Charlie says himself.
101.
You really have to wonder, in fact, you know, if we would have said
three weeks ago, Blake, if we would have said that Joy Reed and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Katanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called the
racist.
But now they're coming out and they're saying it for us.
They're coming out and they're saying, I'm only here because of affirmative action.
Yeah, we know
you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.
You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
Play Cut 52.
But I rise today as a clear recipient of
affirmative action, and particularly in higher education.
I may have been admitted on affirmative action both in terms of being a woman and a woman of color, but I can declare that I did not graduate on affirmative action.
This is my personal story.
I hear because of action affirmative.
She can't even say that.
We know,
we know.
It's very obvious to us that you were not smart enough to be able to get in on your own.
I couldn't make it on on my own, so I needed to take opportunities from someone more deserving.
All right, so now that is going.
Obama quoted this saying, oh, well, I don't really, you know, what happened to Charlie is terrible, but, you know, he said some bad things about my wife.
Christopher Hitchens said that.
No, it's not even, we don't even have to go to Hitchens.
We can go to Michelle Obama herself in her memoir basically says, my school guidance counselor said I didn't have the test scores and grades to get into Princeton.
And she's like, but I got in on the strength of my essay.
I'm just going to tell you, Michelle,
if your name was like, you know, Kim Soo, you know, like some Asian name, you would not have gotten in with bad grades and bad test scores because of a great personal essay, period.
And yeah, I have to say, Charlie was right.
They don't have brain processing power.
And everybody that believed that he's a racist or that he said something untoward don't have.
brain processing power either, including Barack Obama.
But these people, they're not being honest with us.
That's not how, in my opinion, how Barack Obama really feels on the inside.
He has to say that to capitulate to this ideology that he's supporting the black man.
They know exactly what Charlie Kirk is saying.
They know exactly because they were saying that they were affirmative action hires and because of affirmative action, all of those things are the reason why they got hired.
We know for a fact, and if they're mad at Charlie, they should be mad at Joe Biden because Joe Biden said
he put Katanji Brown Jackson in a bad situation.
That fool could have just simply said, I'm going to hire the best or I'm going to appoint the best Supreme Court justice I can, the smartest and brightest that we've ever did.
And he picked a black woman.
But instead, that old decrepit man said, I'm going to pick a black woman.
He didn't even say he's going to pick the smartest black woman.
He's just going to pick a black woman.
And that destroys the credibility of black people.
Same with Michelle Obama.
Saying the things that she say.
How about you guys support black people by saying, I'm going to pick the most qualified person and let, you know, a black person come forward that's qualified.
And, you know, I know Charlie.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you got to be a fool to think Charlie is a racist.
You got to be a fool.
You're a disingenuous person with no processing power in the mind to come to your own reasonable conclusions.
You can look at the breadth of what Charlie has done, the people that he surrounded himself with, the people that he partnered with, the people that have raven reviews about him, and it'll tell you right there that he don't have a racist bone in his body.
Well, I mean, not to mention,
you've seen this, I've seen this, like how many people that he didn't care about what color of your skin you had, he cared about the ideas you had, right?
And it's like, I just have seen, you know, in my mind's eye, I can see all these instances of Charlie just like hugging, embracing, laughing with people of all backgrounds and colors.
It, because you know what?
They agreed on the most important stuff, and they probably were Christians.
So, here's, I'm going to play some other clips of Charlie, though.
Let's go.
This is
CK challenges student to name him one institution that got better or the more it embraced DEI.
I think this is a really important point.
123.
You're thinking that DEI is versus excellence.
I think DEI is for excellence.
Show me one institution that got better the more it embraced DEI.
One institution that got better that embraced DEI.
That got smarter, more competitive, leaner, more productive, and that was better than it was 10 years ago.
Are our airports more efficient?
Are we landing planes better?
Are our airlines better?
Is our government better?
Is our schools better?
Is our universities better?
I mean, show me one example.
Is our public health authorities better?
Show me one institution that's embraced DEI that has become better, more excellent than it was 20 years ago.
It doesn't exist.
DEI will destroy an institution from within.
Right.
And I love that he said that because people, some people don't have critical thinking skills.
On campus, they can't think about these things.
They frame DEI as having to do with just black people.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, if you look at the statistical data points, it actually affects white women or they have more benefits in DEI programs than any other race.
So really, it's about white women.
And then you have the LGBTQ community that's engrafted in that.
It's really not helping black people, to be quite honest.
But ignorant folk think DEI is just black people.
And the reason why DEI doesn't work is because if you want something to be excellent, you want it to be great, it has to be based on merit.
I want the best and the brightest.
I hire people all the time.
And when I look at their resume, I don't give a flying flip if they're black, green, or orange, right?
I want to make sure that you're aligned with our mission.
But at the same time, I don't care who you are.
What does your resume say?
What have you done to prepare for this position?
And most people who are rational, rational, who are successful, that's how they operate their business.
And to be quite honest, we don't need a white savior to tell black people that, oh, little poor black man, let me pat you on the head and let me give you an opportunity.
No, we are smart enough as black people to earn an opportunity.
We go to school just like anybody else.
We want greatness just like anybody else.
We have the brain capacity, if you want to apply yourself, to do very, very well and be successful.
And so we don't need these programs to try to lift up black people in an artificial way because what happens is you lift up black people that are not prepared and they make us all look bad.
Yep.
Just go after the people that are good enough.
And if you want to help, help from the front end.
That means that elementary schools, that means in grade school, you're helping young people be educated and be prepared for the future.
Therefore, they can be more competitive in a fair way.
You don't wait to the end of the road to try to thrust people into positions of power.
I think that's a good idea.
I wanted to flag this because I saw it the other day.
So you mentioned, you know, there's a lot of DEI sex-based for women.
And I saw this news the other day.
So London has one of the oldest stock exchanges in the world, one of the most historic.
And
they have a rule on the London Stock Exchange that to do an IPO, you need to commit to having at least 40% women on your board.
You need a woman in a top job.
I don't know what that's defined as.
And you need an ethnic minority director.
In 2005, the London Stock Exchange had 339 IPOs that raised a total of 51 billion, either dollars or pounds.
I'm not sure.
I think pounds.
51 billion pounds.
They are now down to 250 million.
They've lost 99% of their IPOs because people are just deciding to IPO in a country where they don't have a million DEI hoops to jump through to start your company.
You should have put that.
I mean, it falls off a cliff.
Yeah, that's wild.
Well, what is a woman, right?
You know what I'm saying?
That's the secret.
That's how you get around points.
What do you do?
You know, I have half of the guys identify as women, and then there we go.
We'll meet our quota.
Well, I mean, we have that clip somewhere, actually, I think, but it's,
they'll show it to me.
We'll play it.
It's worth playing.
It's worth remembering the insanity that we lived through.
But here, you know, here's a here's another one I'm going to play real quick here.
This is, oh, I guess we do have it.
Let's play 124.
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Can I provide a definition?
No.
Yeah.
I can't.
You can't?
Not in
this context.
Not in biology.
What did we do before biologists sit down?
Problem is, biology has been taken over by DEI, too, so even they don't know the answer.
So
it's a six cycle.
She's proven Charlie's point about brain power.
Why are they mad?
Go look at this fool who's a woman, who experienced female things almost every month, and she can't articulate what a woman is.
She probably have children.
I don't know if if Katanji Brown have children, but at some point, you have to be able to be a genuine human being.
And that's not genuine for you to act like you don't know what a woman is.
Well, yeah, the fact that you get tripped up with that question just proves the point.
And by the way, I will say, Katanji Brown Jackson, even some of the liberal justices on the court have gotten frustrated with just how insane she is and how poor her judicial skills are.
So, I mean, it's bearing out.
And to your point, it's making black people look bad.
Make them look bad.
Clarence Thomas is doing an incredible job.
We got his picture picture right behind us he's an excellent man but they hate him they don't count and he doesn't count yeah and also just they would always do this like frankly like actually pretty racist thing when when scalia was still on the court they would always just say like oh thomas is just scalia's puppet or whatever and they would do all of that and then Scalia died and it's like, oh, actually, Thomas is actually an amazing guy.
He's actually the leader of the court, basically.
Let's go ahead and play this.
This is a new story here.
And it just, I wasn't actually planning on getting to it, but it's just too funny.
So Serena Williams, I don't know if you've seen this story, this is the cotton thing, the cotton thing.
So, she goes into Blake's Blake's die.
We lost Blake.
So, so she goes into a luxury hotel and she's in the bathroom, and there's a piece of decor that's just nice looking.
Let's just show it.
We have it 125.
But she gets real upset, Brandon Tatum.
Play 125.
All right, everyone, how do we feel about cotton as decoration?
Personally, for me, it doesn't feel great.
So actually it feels like nail polishing for cotton natural.
Going for like a Michael Jackson one glove thing?
I don't know what she is.
You got to be the stupidest person in the world to record yourself, make a video like that as her.
First of all, she married to a white man last time I checked.
Then she talked about a nail polish remover.
Well, you use the same cotton in your bathroom for nail polish remover.
You don't have a problem with that.
Cotton as a decor.
Woman, black people weren't the only people that are picking cotton, right?
What do you think they were doing before black people got over here?
You know, as if every black person picked every cotton, you know, picked cotton everywhere.
It's a plant.
Right.
And everybody uses it.
She probably wears cotton every day.
Are you mad that you wear cotton?
You, you know, it's, it's, these people are so disingenuous.
And as rich as she is, why do you give a F about a little, and that's probably at a really nice hotel that she probably paid thousands of dollars a night, and you're going to make it make it a point to be upset about something like that.
For what?
What's the point?
I don't know the point.
I can't believe we're making cotton controversial.
And it's harmful to other young black people.
These ignorant black folks are the biggest threat to young black people because somebody is taking her seriously.
With all of her accolades, with all of the success that she's had, they think that's her issue because she's making it an issue.
And you cannot function in life if you are crying about a cotton display somewhere in a multi-million dollar hotel.
Like, I just don't understand the logic there, and it's hurtful.
And I wish these people would be called out.
She should be a I remember I said it.
I wrote it on X.
I said she's the, I think I said she's the dumbest person on planet Earth.
She should be ashamed of herself.
Nobody writes that up, though, but if Charlie Kirk says something,
it's, oh, this white guy is commenting on the stupidity of a person.
You're not allowed to do that with a person of color.
You're not a POC, whatever.
She's a black lady.
What's wrong with that?
I wish we could just be honest.
I look back at George Carlin and these comics of like yesteryear and like they could actually
it was like equal opportunity offense.
And you're like Dave Chappelle, equal opportunity.
Anybody that's throwing off this woke garbage is actually funny.
Right.
You know, but it was, I think it was a release valve.
for culture.
Well, let's be honest.
Like, if you black, you can do, you got the full spectrum.
You can make fun of black people and you make fun of white people.
If you're white, I don't see many
white comedians making fun of black people.
Only person that does it, I forget his name now.
He was married to a black woman.
No, no, he's.
Oh, I know he's
Bill Burr.
No, no, not Bill Burr.
He's married to a black woman too, or he's with a black woman.
I forget the guy's name.
He made a skit about the church when he goes to a black church and how they stay all day and all this other stuff.
The funniest thing ever.
And I think he got a passing.
He does a skit at black
comedy clubs.
What was his name?
Gary Owens.
Gary Owens.
Okay, I haven't seen it.
Yeah, no, you got to watch this.
Gary Owens goes hard.
And the reason that it's like this is because he was married to a black woman, and he does his skit at some of the black comedy studios.
So it was very funny.
But outside of them, you can't find a white person making fun of black people when
those who have done it and have done it well, it's incredibly funny.
Yeah, well,
I was just looking up his comedy, but that's going to be.
Oh, he's funny.
This is the Charlie Kirk Show.
We are all about saving babies with pre-born.
There are 24,836 kindergartners starting school this month who would not be alive if it hadn't been for what pre-born did in 2019.
When a woman considering abortion sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears that baby's heartbeat, it doubles the chance that she will choose life.
$140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
$280 can save 10 babies, and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save babies' lives for years and years to come.
Charlie and Erica love pre-born.
Charlie loved it so much.
He believed in it so much.
He was a donor.
So I'll give the final word to Charlie Kirk.
Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away.
Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
We are going to be talking about Netflix.
What's the show called Paranormal?
Dead End Paranormal Peak.
Dead End Paranormal Peak.
And you're not going to believe this clip.
I mean, some of you have probably already seen it, but like, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
There's a whole lot there at Netflix.
I'll just say this.
When Charlie died, Charlie loved Seinfeld.
And I have canceled my Netflix subscription before.
And I just wanted to watch Seinfeld.
Like at the end of the night, late at night.
I had long days.
It's been a long couple weeks.
And it just makes me happy to watch Seinfeld.
And Netflix has Seinfeld.
So I just hope that the people of Seinfeld will get in on this and move the show somewhere else.
Somehow, I'm sure there's some contract they can't.
I don't think it's going to happen.
You have to be the change you seek in the world.
I know.
So for Charlie, I will stop watching Seinfeld.
It literally is like one of those few things in my day.
You could buy the DVDs.
You know what?
That's right.
That's right.
Okay, that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to find a way to get around
the Netflix Seinfeld thing because this is really upsetting.
We should play the clip, too, but go ahead, Blake.
Yeah, yeah.
So we'll get into this.
So this is about a show.
It went viral recently because Libs of TikTok posted it.
But to be clear, the show aired, I think, 21 through 23.
It ended in 23 for sure, which...
Among other things, just absolute peak woke insanity at every single media outlet ever.
The show's name was Dead End Paranormal Peak.
It's a children's show, animated,
but it has all of this aggressive kind of sexuality propaganda on it.
What was the number again?
We'll get it.
Crud, I had it in front of me, man.
You know, you get your one opportunity here, man.
And you missed the clip.
Here, I'll find it.
Where are we?
There's way too many of these.
Alright, here we go.
Let's do 116.
It's not the park.
It's
me.
I'm trans Norma.
And everyone at school knows, and everyone at home knows.
And being here, it's like a whole new place.
I can just be Barney.
And I can choose if and when I tell people.
I've never been happier.
And that's saying something when I spent today chased by terrifying zombie mascots.
Pugsley reminded me how important it is to live your life without apology.
So I think I got to give living here a shot.
Don't you?
You don't need my permission.
I just wouldn't want Courtney as a roommate.
We'll be the
best of friends.
All right, Brandon.
Well, these people are going straight to hell for the stuff that they're doing, in my opinion.
I think it's very troubling because when you look at the spectrum of, you know, how many kids are actually trans or going through, it's rarely, it's not that many kids, man.
You know, my son goes to a massive school, 6A, tons of students there, and I don't think they have a single trans kid at that school.
And even in this, the school that he went to that was a public school, it probably was like one, maybe.
So, what they're doing is they're indoctrinating kids and putting this into the subconscious to begin to think about, well, am I trans?
What is trans?
Do I, am I a boy?
Could boys be girls?
Can I get some attention
if I come out with this issue?
Because that's what it's really all about.
A kid don't know nothing about being trans.
And they say kids know that they're trans when they're three.
You know how stupid that is?
You know,
I got a four-year-old.
You think my son knows the difference between being a boy and a girl and all of those crazy stuff?
And if he does have a question about it as an adult, you have leadership that should tell him, no, you're a boy.
All you got to do is check when you go to the bathroom,
you got that one or the other one.
But they're doing this because if you can get into the subconscious mind of a developing child and you get it, you get these.
It's the same thing when kids get exposed to sexuality too early.
It begins to warp their worldview and warp their mind.
And they drag that stuff on into adulthood where they're they have a distorted view of what sex is and a distorted view of what sexuality is.
If you can start doing it early and early in younger people, it may not manifest right away, but when they get a little older, it may manifest in a way that's detrimental.
And before we get out of here, I just want to like, the other reason we care about this, by the way, so that clip went viral on its own, but the creator of the show, his name is a Hamish Steele, and one
has total, yeah, we should be able to throw it up here.
I think they have it as B-roll, but he was posting on Blue Sky
that
he, first of all, he has this like very creepy
future molester looking face, in my opinion.
Let's see which one it was.
Oh, there it is.
All right, there he is, finally.
And he says he's he, they pronouns.
And then he says, he said this the day after the assassination.
I'm not sure who he was responding to.
Why the F are you even commenting on this
object head?
You
yeah, you D-head.
Your sympathy for any of the families being slaughtered by your weapons, but a random Nazi gets shot, and it's a public statement.
You're such an effing, evil.
Yeah, just...
Vile stuff.
Absolutely vile person.
This is the kind of guy who would say, like, oh, love love is everything.
Kindness is everything.
Tolerance.
Such a fraud.
Such a fat fraud.
I mean, so this is what frustrates me: is these, this is a perfect example, Blake, and I'm so glad you highlighted the show creator of the type of people that are pushing this insanity on kids.
I bet he doesn't have kids, first of all.
He's a, he, they.
Probably no kids.
But this is what they do.
And new studies have come out that have exposed this, that conservatives are having
above-replacement replacement level children.
Liberals are not.
First of all, we're going to outbreed them.
Secondly,
they are not
procreating.
And so the only way that they can push and expand this ideology, this woke garbage, this evilness, is to spawn it via programming.
And they know that our kids are absorbing things at this age.
like sponges.
They know that this stuff, this programming goes in deep.
So parents out there, do not put the Netflix on and just let it go.
And like, you know, because what it'll do is one show gets done and it'll just, it'll put another show up there.
And then more importantly than that, I think it's time to boycott them.
I think all of, put those images up.
Everybody that's boycotting Netflix, I mean, Elon Musk has gotten behind it.
It's been seen millions and millions and millions of times.
It's important.
I don't have necessarily a bone to pick.
per se with Netflix, but it's not a one-off example.
And so it's run by a bunch of leftists.
They probably think that they're doing both sidesism or whatever, you know, whatever.
But it's run by a bunch of leftists, and they're programming our kids to embrace this garbage.
And they need to feel the pain financially if they're going to stop this.
You don't touch the kids.
I don't care if in the adult section they got stuff that you maybe don't agree with politically, but not in the kids sector.
This is, you know, how Netflix is.
You go, I'm going to do the kids one or the normal one.
And this is in the kids.
And it's strategic.
This is what they're doing.
And parents, quit being cowards.
If your kid come to you and say, I don't know what I am, tell them exactly what they are.
I'm so sick, you know, because it's really the parents that it comes down to.
First of all, they let their kids watch this garbage.
And then they don't have leadership.
They want to say, well, I want to be sensitive to this.
And then, no, quit being silly.
You need to focus on what the truth is.
You need to put God first in your family and you will have a successful family.
I'm so sick of parents letting their kids go by the wayside because they're trying to be nice.
You know, they're trying to be like, oh, I'm an open-minded person and parent and and kids need to explore and all of this no they don't they need leadership they need you to raise them um and i'm and i'm glad that they're not procreating at the rate that we are and hopefully we procreate more that's right and and and actually on our side i hope we become better and bolder parents to teach our children what the truth is and teach our children what's the difference between good and evil but i i am upset that they're targeting children and it's it's not i always think about things it's not what people do is why they're doing it why are they doing it?
They don't have to do this.
They are willing, and we got to be willing to cut our memberships with them because they are willing to lose money to push their agenda.
Do you think Netflix didn't know that people were going to be upset about that?
They don't care.
They are willing to lose a lot of money to make sure your kids are indoctrinated so they all become trans in the next 50 years.
The general thing, unfortunately, is
the left has proven itself more disciplined in executing boycotts, in executing financial pressure, in cutting things off.
And historically, the right has
not been as good at that.
Like, we've, you know, we had one kind of really big boycott with Bud Light a few years ago.
And I think,
to be honest, I think a lot of the right got a little high on itself off of that.
And they thought, oh, we can take out whatever we want.
But most of our other boycotts do not succeed.
Well, we hit Target pretty hard, and Target kind of took, they stopped doing it.
But it wasn't a full win, but at least Target tucked tail a little bit and ran.
You're right.
But if you want a good good example, it's like the NFL.
Like, I feel every two years or so, the NFL does something super lib, and people come out and they're like, we're going to boycott the NFL, go woke, go broke, and then the NFL just steamrolls them.
The NFL goes, we're going to go around you and do big bunny because now we're going to appeal to Hispanics.
And what's really funny, and what's really funny is then I'll still encounter people who will think we somehow won this exchange.
Like, I'll run into people who think the NFL is circling the drain.
The NFL is not circling the drainage.
But we also have to understand boycotting is not the only way to do it.
You know what I'm saying?
We got to raise up the next generation.
They've raised up a generation of these nut jobs.
We got to raise up generations of strong, confident people and put them in positions of power at these organizations.
We have to take back the institutions.
We have to.
We have to.
Because there's a whole debate on the right.
Are we going to create our parallel institutions?
Are we going to take back the institutions?
Well, we've got to take them back.
And there's multiple...
you know, I would say vectors upon which we need to fight, but
we need our own long march through the institutions.
Brandon Tatum, we got to say goodbye to you because you got things to do, people to see.
You're busy, man.
But thank you for joining us for this hour and making the time to sit with us and come to the studio.
You honor us and you honor Charlie and you are a good friend of Charlie.
So final word, my friend.
Thank you, man.
I thank you for letting me be here, man.
It's an honor to sit next to Charlie's seat.
And I still feel like he's sitting right here.
And as long as we keep this thing going and keep fighting, he's going to always be here to represent.
So
I appreciate you guys, man.
It mean a lot to me.
Yeah.
Thanks, Brandon.
All right.
Until next time, we'll see you soon, man.
Yes, sir.
sir.

We got Nick Coca, Club America Enterprise Director.
Yes, sir.
By the way, Nick is looking slim and trim and
very, very healthy.
Love to see that.
Chris Gaffrey, College Enterprise Director.
Director.
So
why don't we start with you, Chris?
Explain what it is you do, and
we'll just start there.
What do you do?
Yeah, so essentially, I oversee all of the college staff, all of the chapters, all of our field representatives, all of the regional managers, all of the operations that go into the field program that Charlie built over so many years, over the last 13 years.
And we have a presence on so many of these college campuses across the country.
We have a big part in those tours that Charlie loves so much.
All of the things that we were doing these last few years on campus with the prove-me-wrongs, with these evening events.
That's a lot of what I do: just travel the country and work one-on-one with these students, get to see it firsthand what it's like being on a college campus as a conservative before Charlie's assassination and now, and the big difference is there.
Yeah, and I mean, people have been asking about this.
We're not doing
the open-air prove-me-wrongs, right?
And that's for security reasons.
And there's just a lot, I mean, emotionally for all of us that goes into that.
And, you know,
candidly, I'm relieved that we're not.
But, like, secondly, we are still doing the evening events.
And these evening events, team, if you could throw some of this B-roll, I mean, at Utah State,
this was,
what, 6,6,200 people
at Utah State.
And we had, I guess, Governor Cox.
We had Andy Biggs, the great Andy Biggs, love Andy.
He's going to be the next governor of Arizona.
We had Jason Chaffetz, who was actually there at UVU.
So that was a really powerful thing.
I know that was really powerful for him to kind of get back there.
And you see this footage.
I mean, the energy is just incredible at these things.
And
this was our largest evening event of all time at a campus.
And by the way, a little hint, we're going to beat it.
We're going to even exceed this in this campus tour.
Tell us about this.
Yeah, I mean, I've been to more of these tour stops than I honestly can count.
And coming back to Utah, there's definitely some closure there.
And being that, and, you know, for context, I was not at UVU that day, but coming back to Utah and seeing so many of our students who are there at Utah Valley and seeing them be able to get that closure and having a room that is larger than a lot of our conferences.
I mean, larger than YWS, larger than some of our student action summits that we've done, much larger than CLS,
six times over than the largest chapter leadership summit that we've ever done.
There's something about that, that feeling of standing on the floor and seeing so many people coming out three weeks later after a man was killed in the same state, just an hour and some change away, and saying, I'm not afraid.
I'm going to come out.
I'm going to show face.
I love that.
Nick, let's transition, brother.
So, you are Club America.
Club America is our high school brand at TPUSA.
And I will never forget this, especially because of
obviously what happened just a few weeks later but we were in Aspen and we were talking with donors
and Charlie was like we're gonna have we're gonna get a club America at 35,000 high schools and I was like Charlie
there's only 23 or 24,000 high schools he's like all right fine 23,000 you know Andrew Cipher who's the VP of Field, great guy, was like, could we maybe like 10,000, whatever?
Like, you know, just because he's freaking out because he's like, I I know how hard this is going to be.
And Charlie's like, fine, all right, fine.
You know, because Charlie was always pushing us and pushing us and pushing us more and more and more.
And
so within days of what happened,
you know, finding out that there's 120,000 inquiries, about 50% of which, to start new chapters, about 50%, maybe more, are high school, Club America.
That's right.
So tell us about that, Nick.
It's been amazing.
See, there are two types of high schools in this country, high schools that have Club of America chapters and high schools that will soon have Club America chapters.
Well said.
Well said.
One of the two.
We have had 1,500 chapters that have started.
So these are high school students coming together, organizing, building groups
since Charlie's passing.
Oh, that's breaking news, folks.
I'm probably going to have to tweet that.
Give me this clip, by the way.
This is...
I want to tweet that.
That's a really big.
I mean, you guys are making quick work.
1,500.
It's been amazing.
I remember when Charlie sat right here and announced that we hit 1,000 chapters back in 2023, something that we thought was just a monumental goal when we first launched the program in 2022.
And I think he'd be really proud to see the progress that has happened despite the tragedy.
In his honor.
In his honor.
He inspired this.
He put jet fuel behind it by...
being living his life in such a wonderful way, being so courageous and so stalwart in believing that we can impact the next generation.
By the way, I just want to remind, I mean, you've been with us long enough where you even saw when people thought it was still ridiculous that we could reach the next generation.
And Charlie just was so dogged.
He's like, no, we can.
And you saw that kind of go from incredulity to like, what's happening?
It was crazy how fast it happened, too.
It was like they just needed a new freshman class that suddenly had been all these people who saw Charlie videos.
And it was
instantly like he was this huge celebrity.
yeah they had probably you're probably right it was like these kids had been probably seeing being seen Charlie videos on social media for years and years and all of a sudden they come into high school or college and it was it was like a the turnover you know 18 to 21 happened and it was they were they were ready they were ready and and it was also a generation when we're talking about the college kids that had been so beat up their high school years were wrecked by COVID wrecked by COVID a thousand percent I mean it and talk about that because you've been around long enough to see this this thing blossom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I actually started when I, when I started with Turning Point, I was a student.
So I was the chapter president in Detroit, Michigan.
If you know anything about Detroit, it is not a conservative city at all.
And when I was a chapter president, I remember saying, hey, do you know who Charlie Kirk is?
And unfortunately, every answer was no.
No one really knew him back then.
And then now...
The difference is everybody knows Turning Point.
Everybody know, even before he died, everybody knew Charlie Kirk.
Love him or hate him.
They knew who he was.
Love, turning point, or hate, turning point, they knew who we were.
And to see that growth over such a short period of time and see the passion and the energy.
I mean, I'll tell this story real quick.
Right after the Utah State event, we went out and got ice cream.
And the girl behind, this is like some 17-year-old high school girl.
She asks us, she sees my jacket, says Turning Point.
She's like, are you at Turning Point USA?
I was just at that event.
I just clocked in because I called off and I moved around my schedule so I could be at that event.
And then she asked us for a picture, all of us that were there, Andrew and myself and the tourist team.
And it's just so weird to think how much.
this organization and this movement has meant to people since Charlie's passing.
And I think it's something to do with being too close to home, being a little too close to it to realize, to truly realize the impact that we've had, that this organization has had, that the students have had, that Charlie has had in the last decade.
It is really, I mean, it's earth-shattering.
It's breathtaking.
I completely relate to that, by the way,
because I would tell Blake this, I had to keep recalibrating how famous he was becoming.
Because I was always like, I don't know, like a year behind in my internal clock.
But then I would take him somewhere public, and I was like, dude, you're like a beetle.
It shocked me the most when we were doing the whole Nebraska push.
And so we went on campus during the tailgating before a Huskers game and just hundreds of people mobbing around him.
And of course, it helped a lot that they wear red anyway at the University of Nebraska.
So it's like everyone's wearing red stuff for the Huskers game.
And they're Charlie!
Charlie!
Yeah, the Charlie chants.
Just a giant convoy.
Well, and you got those chants at Utah State.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was a lot of chant.
I mean, that first
event that we did.
uh post charlie's assassination the energy in the room was just something different it was just completely different.
There's hope.
I think that's the best way to put it.
There's hope in the air
amongst young conservatives.
They want to get involved.
They want to do something.
They do not want to sit idly by while a man died.
Well,
I want to talk about the tour stops that are coming up and the future plans for high school with Club America because we have a real big...
real big tour that's still ongoing.
Lots of new stops coming up.
So guys, I am just so excited by the tour.
So tell us, what have we done already?
We did Megan Kelly, that was the first one.
So, it was Michael Knowles.
Oh, Michael Knowles in Minnesota.
Yeah, he went to, yeah.
Yeah, so we had Minnesota with Michael Knowles, and then Virginia Tech with Megan Kelly and Governor Glenn Youngkin.
And then
losing track of my days two days ago, we had Utah State, which was a phenomenal event.
Why are you up there?
And by the way, I want to say something about that with Governor Cox.
People were, you know, why did you invite Governor Cox?
Well, it's because Governor Cox was speaking privately with our team and just saying, like, listen, I know Charlie hit me pretty hard, and,
you know,
he had some good points.
And I want to tell the world that, you know, and I thought he did a great job and did a fabric.
So, you know what?
I just found out, Nick, you are the third longest tenured staff at Turning Point.
Yes, I've been with
Turning Point USA since January of 2016.
I remember someone just showed me a clip.
We were at the RNC in Cleveland in 2016, and Charlie said, let's paint some signs.
Let's get out there and make sure that people know that limited government principles are represented.
So we took to the streets of Cleveland and started chanting big government sucks.
And we got a lot of people's attention.
And it's amazing to see how far we've grown since then.
That's amazing.
And
you have seen many iterations of this movement, of what Charlie has built here.
And so you are a keeper of history.
And
you both are.
And
i think that's important because we lost charlie uh far too early far too young and i i've i've told this to the team it's like there's just no replacing that experience that we've all had with an american legend and to see it up close to see how he operated see how he would inspire the troops how he would motivate the staff and how he would speak to students.
And you guys are keepers of that legacy in a really, really important way.
And I just want to encourage you that, you know, your jobs are more important than ever.
And I know you know that.
So why, why don't
I'm going to go high school, then college, okay?
High school.
So 1,500, we, I mean, you have tens of thousands of applications.
Are we changing the way we're doing this?
Has everybody been
spoken to and communicated with?
Like, how are we, so if you're out there in the audience and your, your, you know, daughter or son or grandkid has reached out and inquired to start a chapter, what can they expect?
What have you done already?
What will happen in the days ahead?
Our field team, our representatives have been hard at work just calling, picking up the phone, talking to hundreds of students every single day who want to get involved.
And if you filled out a get involved form on our Club America website or on TPSA Students website and you're in high school, expect a phone call from your field representative.
They're going to tell you how to get your Club America chapter started and set you up with everything that you need to hit the ground running on your campus.
That's a really important point.
We know how to do this at Turning Point USA.
So if you're a student out there or you're a parent of a student or a grandparent of a student and you're like, ah, how do you even do it?
We tell you how to do it.
Like we have a whole roadmap.
We have all the tools and we're going to set you up.
And by the way, if there's multiple students that have applied from the same school or whatever, we'll put you together.
That's right.
We'll get you linked up.
And by the way, that's really powerful because we have multiple from a lot of these schools.
Because, you know, if there are any trolls that are in or whatever, other people that shouldn't really be starting the chapter, maybe they're good, well-intentioned, but they just really maybe shouldn't be the president or vice president of a chapter.
We're going to find that out in this process, right?
I mean, we're going to get the best.
It's really amazing how we're able to bring people together.
We have students that multiple from a single school that are reaching out.
Maybe they didn't even know each other, but they both loved and admired Charlie and want to step up.
So we're able to bring these students together to make lifelong friendships.
That's how, when I got involved, when I met Charlie, the people that I met through Charlie, I'm still very close friends with today.
It's changed the trajectory of my life and of my career.
And so we hope to do that for you if you're a high school student looking to get involved for the first time.
It will change your life.
That's so right on.
When you step out and you join this movement,
your life will never be the same for the better because you're going to be part of something that's much bigger than yourself.
And that goes for our college camp.
So it's a little different on college, just so you know, like we've got all these tens of thousands of applicants.
Well, we've pretty much saturated the vast, vast majority of college campuses.
So you're not going to get like a huge,
we'll get some growth from it, but really like that top line number, like turning point had already kind of hit a really big point on college campuses.
But we're going to plug these people in, maybe door knock, whatever, figure out what it is.
Devote a reg, and we have these tours.
So tell us what we can expect in the coming days because this tour is kicking off and we're not backing down.
No, not at all.
We're not backing down.
We're going to keep on going.
We're going to keep this tour alive.
We're going to be going all over the nation.
We've got Tucker Carlson coming up we've got uh who else who uh we we've by the way we have a we just locked one in
and i can't say yet because i got to coordinate we got to coordinate the but it's big big
yeah so who else do we got yeah we got a
lot of a lot of great people coming up we have savannah christley savannah oh we got russell brand yes governor kevin stitt yeah for oklahoma yes uh we're gonna have governor jeff landry allie betstucky uh we have a lot of very exciting speakers coming up and what we're really seeing is the excitement of students who are saying they want to get involved.
They want to be there.
I mean, I've been to so many of these tours.
I've never seen students line up seven hours before the tour stop begins.
And you are seeing young, I mean, the older
generation did that.
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.
Okay.
Charlie always wanted the biggest venue we could get.
And these schools would dink around with us and just give us such a hard time.
That's why we started doing the campus stops outdoors because they could just stream in.
But now they're giving us these arenas and it's a beautiful thing gentlemen you are more important than ever i commend you i salute you we have your back and i know you guys are doing the truly truly hard and important work out there in the field thank you thank you andrew yeah god bless you guys um
this is lane schoenberger chief investment officer and founding partner of why refi it has been an honor and a privilege to partner with turning point and for Charlie to endorse us.
His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.
Now, hear Charlie, in his own words, tell you about YReFi.
I'm going to tell you guys about YReFi.com.
That is YREFY.com.

We have the great Senator Mark Wayne Mullen on the show from the state of Oklahoma, who I don't know if he, I think he pulled over on the side of the road to do this.
This is fantastic.
Senator, welcome to the show.
Yeah, I did.
I'm actually right off the exit ramp, if you can't tell.
I love it.
Well, God bless you for that.
I just want the audience to know what kind of guy this is on the other end of this call here.
And when everything went down, one of the first calls I got, and it was just so sincere and so sweet and kind, was this senator right here from the state of Oklahoma.
So, and I saw you as well at the White House when JD was hosting the show, when Vice President J.D.
Vance was hosting the show, and you just came by to say hello and give us hugs and tell us you were with us.
So God bless you, Senator, for that.
Thank you, man.
I'm awfully proud of you all.
I mean, very proud of y'all.
And it's just the love that you guys have for each other, the love you have for the country.
It's just such a
Something you want to be part of, you gravitate to, right?
It's a Christian value that you see at every walk of the life that you say, I want some of that.
I want to be part of that.
I want to be part of that light.
And so thanks for letting me be part of it, brother.
Yeah, man.
Well, listen,
we've got your back.
I know you got ours.
And
you've been an important voice, though, in
this whole year legislatively.
I mean, you've been acting as a liaison between the House and the Senate on the BBB, and you've been working with the White House, and you've been getting messaging out.
I wanted to bring a lawmaker in to talk about this shutdown.
And
it seems like this central debate here.
You've got CNN saying, oh, it's not true.
Democrats aren't fighting for health care and Medicare for illegals.
Or is it, let me see, Medicaid eligibility for illegals.
And you put out a tweet basically debunking this that you're saying it is, and we're not going to budge on it.
Tell us what the truth is, Senator.
It 100% is.
And I'll actually read it for you once we get it pulled up here.
In their CR, they strike subsection, and the subsection they strike is subsection 71109, Alien Metal, Medicaid Eligibility.
They're striking it out specifically of the OBBB.
Now, what they're saying, the sleight of hand that they're saying here is they're saying, well,
we're not giving illegals.
Well, what they're saying is, since we're not giving illegals, it's because Biden technically deemed them or gave them parole.
And since he gave them parole, they're saying that they're not illegal.
Well, they're 100%.
It entered this country illegally.
They should have never been paroled.
Biden was paroling 98% of everybody named the 20 million people that came across the border
in the last four years.
Biden paroled them without even looking at their status.
And what OBBB did was cut the waste and fraud out of it and say, we're not giving those individuals status status of legal status to be eligible for Medicaid, which is why that says alien Medicaid eligibility.
That's why that says that.
And so, when you look at their subsection, it completely strikes it.
So, they know exactly what they're doing, they're lying to the American people.
And this is why that, and this is right here, is why they're saying they want the government open for four years for four weeks for $1.5 trillion.
It basically
undoes all the waste and fraud we cut out of OBB because they reinstate it and they want it done.
They want to hold the American people hostage for four weeks.
And that's not permanent open the government.
That's just for four weeks.
And put that in perspective.
Well,
we lost them.
No, I got you.
Oh, you got me?
Okay, sorry.
I can't see you guys, so good.
To put that in perspective, it's $900,
that's $600 billion above the NDAA, which is our National Defense Authorization Act.
That's $600 billion above our defense budget.
That's crazy.
That is actually insane.
People don't understand how big of a line item health care is in our federal budget and how much of our insane debt is driven by healthcare spending.
And so, I mean,
so they lost this
fight during the BBB, right?
We ended up passing that, getting it accomplished.
And our side, candidly, wanted even more cuts.
And so here comes comes Democrats saying, oh, even the cuts you got, we're going to shut down the government for it.
And so then you've got Trump who's brilliantly trolling Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer with these pretty silly memes.
It is just in general so enraging where they, yeah, they pull this scam where, oh, yeah, we're not giving health care to illegal immigrants because under the Biden administration, we used this scam to just make millions upon millions of people technically legal because we gave them all temporary protected status, which once your country's on temporary protected status, they never ever go off.
Well,
by the way, they gave up the goat when we
during their own primary, and I can prove it to you.
Yeah, let's play it.
129.
Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.
Okay.
And the plants in the audience are like, everybody, clap, clap.
And so then they start clapping.
I am a little grateful that like the peak insanity of, you know, 2018 through 2022, basically, 23, is going to be the gift that keeps on giving.
Because thankfully, we have cameras, and you know, the media is a lot more decentralized than it was even a few years ago.
And they're just, they can't live down the fact that, oh, they can say, we don't want healthcare for illegals.
Oh, then why did you all raise your hands to do it?
And why did the entire audience applaud wildly?
Yeah.
And by the way, even Jake,
Jake Tapper,
I'll never, I will never, ever
forget when Jake Tapper called Charlie an anti-Semite.
But right during his RNC speech, I will never, I brought this up on the show when Charlie was alive.
It burned deep in me then, and man, does it even just saying his name right now?
But I will give credit where it's due.
He called out Jeffrey, sorta.
It's weak, but he's calling out the hypocrisy of Hakeem Jeffries, Play Cut 105.
How they
characterize it is, you want to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants.
I understand that's not really an accurate depiction, but what it does do is
it's a lie, but what you support does bring back funding for emergency Medicaid to hospitals, some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants and people who don't have health insurance.
And also, there is this provision, and it's not about undocumented immigrants, it's about people with asylum seekers and people with temporary protected status, et cetera, et cetera, but about their ability to get Medicaid.
So they're non-citizens.
Why even include that in a bill knowing that they're going to seize right upon that and use that to message?
All right, so we have Senator Mark Wayne Mullen back.
So Senator, Jake Tapper basically says, well, of course it's a lie.
Of course what they're saying is a lie,
but it's kind of true.
So you can see Jake Tapper dancing around the issue a little bit, but even Jake Tapper is calling them on this garbage.
Your reaction.
Well, jake i was on the show right before that right before jeffrey came on and jake actually agreed he's like yeah you're you're you're accurate so when he talked to me he he knew it was right but here's a here's something that people aren't even talking about the 1.5 trillion dollars that they're wanting to add back in isn't even it doesn't have anything to do with the funding for discretionary spending the 1.5 trillion dollars that they're wanting to put back in was out of reconciliation.
Reconciliation only dealt with mandatory spending.
So Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security isn't involved in the funding bill that we're fighting for right now that's currently shut down.
It's
the craziness is coming out of the Democrats right now by shutting down the government over something that does have anything to do with the bill, then wanting $1.5 trillion.
And then
to understand that, Andrew, these same Democrats voted for this exact same bill.
the exact same language a year ago to keep the government open.
We did a CR to December.
We did another CR, continue resolution so it's the same thing in january before president trump was in office and then 10 of them including chuck schumer voted for this bill in march nothing has changed well so nothing not one language not one piece of language has changed well i'll tell you what's changed chuck schumer took a lot of heat for that and aoc is nipping at his heels and everybody knows you know aoc is saying this is about me well yeah it kind of is about you because let's be honest chuck schumer's fighting for his political life here and he wants to prove to the base that he's still got it.
He's still one of the cool kids.
He's going to get radical like
his left flank.
But here's what I love.
The old Republican Party senator would have completely botched and squandered this.
This Republican Party is memeing Hakeem Jeffries into oblivion.
And what, I mean, listen, he's calling it bigoted.
Okay, well, you've got, it's a meme.
It's a meme.
And you are defending a lot of illegals that, as you mentioned, have just been labeled as legal, given parole, 98% of them.
Well, we also know there was over 10 million, maybe it was as high as 15 million that came in, and all of them were seeking asylum.
All of them were put into this status.
So, de facto, you are giving health care to illegals.
But here's what I love.
Now, the administration is playing offense, and they're saying, hey, guess what?
Russ Vote is going to go clear some dead wood while we got this shutdown going because we're going to find out what agencies are really doing the bidding of the U.S.
taxpayer.
Play cut 130.
Fix this problem.
And look, we have zero dollars coming into the federal government right now because the Democrats shut it down.
So, what Rust Vote is working diligently on is examining how we can fix this mess to ensure that critical funding continues, that we can get people paid.
But the Democrats are making that very difficult.
And that's why the president put out a statement this morning saying that we're going to start looking across the board at layoffs and at agencies that we feel do not best serve the American taxpayer that may need to be halted or temporary or permanently cut.
All right.
So, Senator, what can be done?
What can Russ Vote do at this point?
We got about a minute left.
Tell us what he can do.
Well, when the Democrats succeeded power, can you guys hear me just fine?
Yep.
When the Democrats succeeded power and gave it to President Trump to force a shutdown, President Trump essentially gets to go around and deem every employee essential or non-essential.
Now, if you remember in 2017, 2018, and 2019, when we went in and shut down because of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the president said, if you're not deemed essential, then you're fired because government should only be hiring essential employees.
That's right.
So now that Russ gets to go in, Russ Volk gets to go in and say you're essential or non-essential, we get to clear the fat out of these agencies.
I want to point out something.
During Biden's tenure, which was during COVID, and none of these employees were showing up for work, they grew most agencies at 100 and 150%.
So, to say we're going to cut 10% of the employee workforce by cutting the bloated federal government is nothing.
It's easily done, and this can be done in a matter of weeks.
So, the longer
the Schumer shutdown continues, because
they could open the government in five minutes if they wanted to, the longer it continues,
the more fat we get to cut out of the federal government.
So, it's a win-win for the Republican Party either way.
Well, Senator, thank you for walking us through that and exposing the Democrat Democrat lie there because it's just so blatant.
It's so blatant and it's so cynical.
It's gross.
Senator, thank you for joining us.
I know you made a pit stop just for this show, so God bless you for that.
And thank you again for all of your amazing support for Charlie.
Thanks, Andrew.
I appreciate you.
You all take care.
Thank you, sir.
God bless you.
We've got some old Charlie tweets that are worth throwing up because it's funny how much you can actually see Charlie's fingerprints on this current,
you know, the current genre.
He's left his mark on.
He's left his mark.
We are playing offense, just like Charlie always wanted us to do.
So you got Russ Vogt going in saying, we might permanently close some of these agencies.
Yeah, yeah, let's put up 280.
This is just a tweet from 2019.
So much younger Charlie.
We had the temporary, the limited shutdown that we had with Trump.
And he was saying we should use this shutdown as a chance to shrink government permanently.
And he throws out a few things.
Privatize TSA, privatize air traffic controllers, abolish the IRS, remove non-essential workers.
If they weren't essential, they shouldn't be there in the first place.
Now, I don't know if Charlie would say the exact same thing today,
but it shows the spirit of things that, okay, if you're having a government shutdown, you're having, yeah, the trench battle over what gets funded, but you should always see it as an opportunity to achieve long-term goods.
Rahm Emanuel from Chicago, Charlie took that page right out of Rahm Emmanuel's book.
You never let a crisis go to waste.
Never let a government shutdown go to waste, especially when it's
their team that's forcing it.
We might have Danny.
Danny, you should come in for this.
Come on in.
He's there.
He was very excited.
But I can start providing you.
Yeah, yeah.
So basically, I want to, so we put this in the title of the show, and so I'm a little annoyed that we're just getting it to it now.
But basically, there is, I mean, if this ad gets up, an NYPD cop on sick leave snuck into the Ryder Cup in full tactical gear, claimed he was on Trump's security.
And somehow,
so, like, you texted me this, and obviously we've lived through this like terrible experience that we've all just lived through.
And you texted me this, and you go, they're going to get him killed.
Yeah, they did the same thing.
I remember we were discussing this last year, right before Trump got shot, too.
Yeah, oh, yeah, same thing all over again.
Totally.
I mean, and then, so it wasn't just this, though, Danny.
This is egregious, by the way.
Apparently, this guy's on sick leave, but he's well enough to go sneak into the rider cap in tactical gear.
Yeah, have full tactical gear, guns, everything.
And he got through Secret Service by telling them I'm just a part of the security team which is like just the craziest thing like how does that like what the heck and i will tell you there is like a a scary thing we actually corrected this at the you know where we're at because you know you get these security guys and you're like are they our security are they are they posing so you got to have like markers to like indicate you got to be secret markers that you can look at and know who they are but this is really terrifying and i will tell you that when we were doing campaign stops with trump i remember going there was a couple where i was like this is really, this is not tight security.
Well, at one of the events last year, I believe it was the Believers event that Trump spoke at, I snuck in like a back door with a bunch of food for Charlie and somehow just like got in.
That's allegedly.
Allegedly.
When we did our event
in D.C.
for the inauguration, there was like a big security thing to go through.
And I don't, to this day, don't know exactly what happened, but I took some other staircase down and never went through security.
And then I was in the event and i was just i'm just not going to mention this to anybody yeah well if i i've been told reliably that it's gotten a lot better that said there's some troubling indications that maybe it hasn't so what else happened recently they also had well at his virginia golf course a guy got through with a glock and they didn't catch him i trump wasn't there at the golf course but like a guy with a with a concealed carry for a minute and so he got through somehow
and they didn't find it till afterwards and then there was also a secret service agent at the UN that fell asleep with his gun, like ready to go, fully loaded, and then left to go to the bathroom.
And left, like, there's a picture of it.
We may have the B-roll of it.
The gun just sitting propped up against the chair, and he's just gone.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, I mean, so, by the way, people are wondering who Danny is.
Danny, Charlie loved you so much.
You guys were so tight.
And Charlie was just like,
wherever Charlie was, you would be hanging around.
You were helping him research topics.
and you were just a real confidant for Charlie.
Charlie loved your instincts on stuff.
And so I love that you're telling us about the security stuff because it's been a story.
You've been like a dog with a bone on it.
You're like, people are not tweeting about this enough.
We're not talking about this enough.
And I remember the UN story got some pub because that was like, you know, UNGA, as they call it.
And
what exactly happened there again?
It was like
he was going down some escalators.
The escalator.
He's going up and then suddenly broke at the exact time that he was going on it.
And they just left him there.
The Secret Service just froze and just had no idea what to do next.
Yeah, it was just absurd.
So he's just a sitting duck.
Yeah, here's the escalator, right?
So Trump is always very careful on stairways.
He doesn't want to trip.
Oh, and it stops.
Like,
I've never had that happen to me ever.
And I've been on thousands of these things.
How does that even happen?
Like,
did somebody, were they trying to troll him?
Yeah, there was, I think, communications that they said that, like, UN staff was joking about doing that earlier in the week.
Stop.
And then it happened.
So it was definitely perfect.
I think it's disgusting that the UN is in New York.
I mean, let's.
I mean, it's a
devil's advocate.
If it left New York, would you feel better if the UN was in Beijing?
No, but I think the UN officials.
I think it is a flex that we have the UN.
It's a flex, but gosh, come on.
Like, these people are just trolling.
The biggest flex would be if we had it in New York and weren't members of the UN.
That would be ideal.
Maybe that's the next stop.
Yeah, and by the way, we got to
throw up 314, this B-roll.
This is back to that NYPD cop who sneaks in to the...
Do we know what happened to this guy?
You said he's on leave now?
On leave?
How about you're fired?
Why do we always do this?
Okay.
