Starting point is 00:00:00 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've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as much.
Starting point is 00:00:30 many kids as possible. Go start a turning point you would say college chapter. Go start a turning point you would say 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 Colvin, executive producer of this fine show. I'm joined, as always, by the one and only Blake Neff, our secret weapon, our not-so-secret weapon. He loves that nickname.
Starting point is 00:01:11 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
Starting point is 00:01:36 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 motions, man. You know, I feel angry. It's making 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 TPSA. And I think it was just in April, as a matter of fact. It wasn't that long ago. So if 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
Starting point is 00:02:33 when a bunch of Antifa thugs came up and basically robbed the whole table took the tent Tell us what happened here They were nutty man It was outrageous The interesting part is that
Starting point is 00:02:46 When I showed up the 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
Starting point is 00:02:57 And then by the time I got you know 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 were just standing around doing nothing so i assumed that nothing serious had happened and then they come back and they come back and and the video team was telling me man you know you know we don't we want to leave like these people are violent they They punched a couple of us.
Starting point is 00:03:28 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? 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 counsel the event. And I said, that's not right.
Starting point is 00:03:48 If they come back, we've 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 just disrupt everything, steal everything, we're just going to tell you you can't do this anymore. Andrew, we didn't even start yet.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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 the black man comes on campus. that don't say what they want to say, they're willing to attack us,
Starting point is 00:04:30 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:04:54 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, uh, and me on that day. But, you know, I kept it. You took one of their bikes and, uh, well, I threw the, one on one flying a little bit. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, but they, you know, I had to give them to wings there for a little minute. But, but it's really worth pausing there on the fact that, you know, we've had this debate going back and forth the last few weeks where you've had, you know, the ADL, Kato coming out and being like, actually, most violence is, is right wing.
Starting point is 00:05:24 but something like that where a bunch of violent goons like disrupted force 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 it's absolutely a form of political violence did any of them get arrested no of course no no and they struck a woman right in front of police I was standing next to one said you see what they just hit that woman and it was you see the person that walked from behind hit her in the head so they can identify that person
Starting point is 00:05:51 they didn't even pursue them right they went back to 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.
Starting point is 00:06:05 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
Starting point is 00:06:22 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 Chopp was in Seattle. They just, I guess, secede this territory, seat it to Antifa and they just let everything play out?
Starting point is 00:06:52 yeah that 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 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 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
Starting point is 00:07:39 things under control you have to start early when they start gathering you have to start in you know 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 when to lose, they ride and flip over cars and burn stuff. Yeah, because you were in Tucson.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Yeah, we were 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. See, we did it in a different way, right? We came out early.
Starting point is 00:08:11 We integrated it into the crowd. Therefore, they could not build units of violence. And we did that so that we didn't have to get the right. gear out. And 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
Starting point is 00:08:29 refusing to use that tactic. They don't care. They want them to have free rain to shut us down. And going back to your point, they can say all they want about the right wing violence and all this sort of stuff. They will never show a video. There isn't a video that exists of a left-leaning person going to campus,
Starting point is 00:08:45 doing a speech, or tabling, or anything like that. And conservatives or people on the right bludgeoning them the video don't exist you the video don't exist of left wing nut jobs going in the street and pushing abortion and conservatives are just beating them up and doing all this stuff it the videos don't exist by the way we've said it before but it's 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 we didn't there wasn't mass rioting and mass violence taking to the streets what was there was vigils and memorials and prayer we are not the same right because
Starting point is 00:09:27 ultimately the the issue yeah these politicians are endemic of a larger issue because they're coddling these domestic terrorists these violent extremists with the actual violent extremists and but they but it is a core it's a it's a core it's a feature it's not a bug of leftism that you result to violence because you believe that it's justified You're not anchored in some deeper Christian truth about that, you know, God's, 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.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And so you've seen it firsthand. Officer Brandon, wait, is it the officer Brandon Taylor? Whatever you want to call him. Some people know me as the officer Tatum. Yeah. Like Megan B. Stalows. The artist formerly known as, you know. Is there the or not?
Starting point is 00:10:21 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 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. and 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 different more difficult to me than me because I'm a grown man and I got kids I these little non-binary on campus that act of food really don't bother me as much but I do give my head off to the young people that are doing that day in and day out but it is very
Starting point is 00:11:10 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'm with the University of Texas everybody was recent 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 asked questions that are substantive. to 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
Starting point is 00:11:48 some that 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 goes to college, it's 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
Starting point is 00:12:12 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
Starting point is 00:12:27 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 coming out of class. And it wasn't pushing it down your throat. The person literally came down there and said, here's 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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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 a person who was born ambiguous and the doctor actually picked male and he probably should have been a female
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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
Starting point is 00:13:38 flags that were as big as the walls in the math class. What does being gay got to do with math? Cultural capture. There's 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
Starting point is 00:13:53 of why this propaganda is being put. 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 is at college campuses Blake you know you and Charlie I know talked a lot about the college cartel and how why college is a scam I mean maybe just I mean you you went to Dartmouth you are I think the most popular alum of Dartmouth aren't you? You have a fan club there? I think I've been denounced a few times.
Starting point is 00:14:29 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 weird Ivy, I think, is 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 Sousa went there. Laura Ingram went there. I guess I went there. Dartmouth. Yeah, Dartmouth. Yeah, well, Laura was the editor of the conservative. Yeah, the Dartmouth Review. A lot of people end up going there because like 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, it's operating kind of at every level. And when we just had this news story, now there's kind of a Harvard knockoff
Starting point is 00:15:26 Drudge Report and I guess they recently hired a professor who Moonlights as a drag queen named actually I 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 more 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 when you subsidize the ability to pay for it. Shocker,
Starting point is 00:15:58 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 career studies or something. Like, are we supposed to be, like, 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 know,
Starting point is 00:16:30 the Roman Empire and the Time of Christ or the English Civil War. 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 and most people are not interested in that. Most people say, this is political propaganda. You eventually get professors who 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
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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 Higby.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I don't know which campus he was on or where he was doing this table. 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 here.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Somebody comes up, assaults him, and then he pulls 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 Stephen Crowder,
Starting point is 00:18:19 who's going back out. 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 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 uh brandham tatum take us into the break here you got about a minute i mean what do you make 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
Starting point is 00:18:56 they're evil um 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 and you know the the person that uh assassinated charlie what did he say sometimes they don't want to talk it talk it out they can't 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 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
Starting point is 00:19:26 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
Starting point is 00:19:42 and 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 bias time. But the effects of past administration's spending are still working through the system and once companies lower-cost inventory burns off,
Starting point is 00:20:02 experts predict dramatic price increases in 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 Trump. Charlie Kirk's 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
Starting point is 00:20:27 texting Freedom to 50505 with a qualified purchase who could 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 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 going to keep we're going to keep hitting it's a good excuse to keep showing good charlie clips yeah exactly and so i'm going to play let's just let's just you know we got a couple here on lockdown um for charlie on uh de i so let's go ahead and
Starting point is 00:21:14 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 that's that's that's their cherry picked top line that's that's what they've take it's like even obama said this complete misquote but it's popped up everywhere i think it's also in the hannah jones one so i'm going to play it's a long clip but let 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
Starting point is 00:21:56 and Katangy 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 other. be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously. Playcut 52. But I rise today as a clear recipient of affirmative action,
Starting point is 00:22:28 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, 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 it on your own. I couldn't make it 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's 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, what, I got in on the strength of my essay.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I'm just going to tell you, Michelle, if your name was like, you know, Kim Su, 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 believe that he's a racist or that he says something untoward don't have brain processing power either
Starting point is 00:23:50 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
Starting point is 00:24:07 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, it should be mad at Joe Biden because Joe Biden said he put Katanji Brown Jackson
Starting point is 00:24:20 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 it picked a black woman.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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 saying with Michelle Obama
Starting point is 00:24:47 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 don't say like you gotta be a fool to think Charlie is a racist you gotta be a fool you're a disingenuous person with no process and power
Starting point is 00:25:07 in the mind to come to your own reasonable conclusions you can look at the breath of what Charlie has done, the people that he surround itself 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 know,
Starting point is 00:25:23 you've seen this, I've seen this, like how many people that he didn't care about what color your skin you had, he cared about the ideas you had. And it's like, I just have seen in my mind's eye, I can see all these instances of Charlie just like hugging, embracing, laughing with, people of all
Starting point is 00:25:39 backgrounds and colors. 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 a 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?
Starting point is 00:26:00 I think DEI is for excellence. Got it. Show me one institution that got better, the more 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?
Starting point is 00:26:15 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.
Starting point is 00:26:28 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. is having to do with just black people.
Starting point is 00:26:43 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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.
Starting point is 00:27:13 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, 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, who are successful,
Starting point is 00:27:31 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, a little poor black man, let me pat you on the head, 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
Starting point is 00:27:47 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. Just go after the people that are good enough. And if you want
Starting point is 00:28:03 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 in positions of power. I think that's well said. 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
Starting point is 00:28:32 historic. And in, they have a rule on the London Stock Exchange that to do an IPO, you need to to have 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 uh 339 ipos that raised a total of 51 billion uh either dollars or pounds i'm not sure but i think pounds 51 billion pounds they are now down to 250 million they've lost 99 percent 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 you should I mean it it falls off a cliff yeah that's wow well what is a woman right to you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:29:18 that's the secret that's how you get around to what do you do you know I have half of the guys identify as women and then there we go we'll meet a quota well I mean we have that clip somewhere actually I think but it's it's well they'll show it to me we'll play it's worth it's worth remembering the insanity that we live through but here you know here's a here's another one I'm to play real quick here um this is uh oh i guess i guess we do have it let's play 124 uh 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 i'm not a biology what did we do before biologists yeah problem is biology is biology is over by DEI too. So even they don't know
Starting point is 00:30:10 the answer. So it's a, it's a sick cycle. She, like, she's proven Charlie's point about brain power. Like, like, why they're mad? Go look at this fool who's a woman who experience female things almost every month
Starting point is 00:30:26 and she can't articulate what a woman is. She probably have children. I don't know 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 gets tripped up with that that question just proves the point and by the way i will say katangy brown jackson even some of the liberal justes on the court have gotten
Starting point is 00:30:47 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 um clarence thomas is doing an incredible job we got his picture right behind he's an excellent man but they hate him he 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 oh actually thomas is actually an amazing he's actually the leader of the court basically uh let's go ahead and play this this is a new
Starting point is 00:31:25 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 the cotton thing the cotton thing so she goes into, Blake's, Blake's down. 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, it's nice looking. Let's just show it. We have it. We have it 125. Yeah. 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. Actually, it feels like nail polish remove or cotton, natural. Going for like a Michael Jackson one glove thing? I don't know what you. You got to be the stupidest person in the world to record yourself, make a video like that as her.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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 are picking cotton, all right? What do you think they were doing
Starting point is 00:32:38 before black people got over here? You know, as if every black person picked every cotton, you know, pick cotton everywhere. It's a plant. Right. And everybody use it. She probably wore cotton every day.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Are you mad that you wear cotton? You know, 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
Starting point is 00:33:11 right and it's harmful to other young black people they 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 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 say i remember i said it i wrote it on x i said she's the i think she's the dumbest person person on planet earth she she should be ashamed herself nobody writes that up though but if uh charlie kirk says something right it's uh oh this white guy is commenting on the
Starting point is 00:33:56 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 know. I look back at like George Carlin and these comics of like yesterday year and like they could actually
Starting point is 00:34:12 it was like equal opportunity offense and you look 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 a, you got a full spectrum.
Starting point is 00:34:29 You can make fun of black people and you make fun of white people. If you 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 married to a black woman, too. No, no, not Bill Burr. He's married to a black woman, too, or he's with a black woman.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I forget the guys now. He made a skit about the church when he go to a black church and not he stay all day and all this stuff, the funniest thing ever. And I think he got a pass. And he do his skit at black, like comedy clubs. What was his name? Gary Owens. Okay, I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, you got to watch this. Okay. 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.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Yeah, well, I, I, I was just looking up his comedy, but that's going to be... Oh, he's funny. That's where... This is the Charlie Kirk Show. We are all about saving babies with preborn. There are 24,836 kindergartners starting school this month who would not be alive if it hadn't been for what preborn 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.
Starting point is 00:35:54 $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.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunities is a phone call or click away. Call 833-850-229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com. We are going to be talking about Netflix. What's the show called paranormal or? Dead end paranormal peak. Dead end paranormal peak. And you're not going to believe this clip.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I mean, some of you 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It's been a long, 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 like move the show somewhere else. Somehow, I'm sure there's some contract they can. I don't think it's going to happen. You have to be the change you seek in the world. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:23 So for Charlie. I will stop watching Seinfeld. It literally is like one of those few things in my day right now. You can buy the DVDs on eBay or something. 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.
Starting point is 00:37:40 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. is just absolute peak woke insanity at every single media outlet ever.
Starting point is 00:37:59 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. I had it in front of me. You know, you get your one opportunity here, man. And you miss the clip.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Here, I'll find it. Where are we? There's way too many of these. All right, here we go. Let's do 116. It's not the park. It's me. I'm trans, Norma.
Starting point is 00:38:40 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. Pugsy 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.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I just wouldn't want Courtney's roommate. We'll be the best of friends. All right, Brandon. Well, these people 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 are going through it's rarely it's not that many kids man you know my son go to a massive school 6a tons of students there and i don't think they have a single trans kid at that school um and even in this the school that he went to that was a public school it probably was like one maybe yeah so what they're doing is they're indoctrinating kids and putting this into their subconscious to begin to think about what am i trans
Starting point is 00:39:54 What is trans? Do I, am I boy? Could boys be girls? Can I get some attention? Right, exactly. 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And they say kids know what they're trans when they three. You know how stupid that he is. You know, I got a four-year-old. You think my son know 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, you're a boy you know all you got to do
Starting point is 00:40:24 when you go to the bathroom you got that one or the other one so but they're doing this because if you can get into the subconscious mind of a developing child and you get it
Starting point is 00:40:35 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
Starting point is 00:40:45 where they have a distorted view of what sex is and distorted view of what sexuality is if you can start doing it earlier and younger people it may not manifest right away but when they get a little older
Starting point is 00:40:56 it may manifest in a way that's detrimental and before we get out of here I just want to fly 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 steel
Starting point is 00:41:07 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
Starting point is 00:41:22 looking face in my opinion let's see which one there it is all right there he is finally and he says he's a 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
Starting point is 00:41:38 object head 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 at effing evil bleep
Starting point is 00:41:52 yeah just vile stuff absolutely vile person so this is the kind of guy who would say like oh love is everything kindness is everything tolerant such a fraud
Starting point is 00:42:03 such a fat fraud I mean so this is what frustrates me is this is a perfect example Blake and I'm so glad you highlighted the show creator of the type of people
Starting point is 00:42:15 that are pushing this insanity on kids I bet he doesn't have kids first of all 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 level children.
Starting point is 00:42:31 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, is 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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
Starting point is 00:43:24 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' seconds. This is, you know how Netflix is. You go, I'm going to do the kids one or the normal one.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And this is in the kids. Yeah. 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.
Starting point is 00:44:08 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
Starting point is 00:44:25 go by the wayside because they're trying to be nice and they're trying to be like oh I'm a open-minded person and parent and kids need to explore and all of us no they don't they need leadership they need you to raise them and I'm glad that they're not procreating at the rate that we are and hopefully we procreate more and actually on our side
Starting point is 00:44:44 I hope we become better and bolder parents to teach our children what the truth is and teach our children was the difference between good and evil. But I am upset that they're targeting children. And 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.
Starting point is 00:45:02 They are willing, and we've 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 are going to be upset about it? They don't care. They are willing to lose a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:45:14 money to make sure your kids are indoctrinated, so they all become trans in the next 15 years. A 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 just 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.
Starting point is 00:45:49 But most of our other boycotts do not succeed. Well, we hit Target pretty hard. Target kind of took, they stopped doing it. But it wasn't a full win, but at least Target, tucktail a little bit in a ramp. You're right. If you want to a good example, it's like the NFL. Like, I feel every two years or so,
Starting point is 00:46:03 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 steam rolls them. The NFL goes, we're going to go around you and do big bun. because now we're going to appeal to Hispanics. 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
Starting point is 00:46:24 the NFL is circling the drain. The NFL is not circling the right. But we also have to understand boycotting is not the only way to do it. You know what I'm saying? We've got to raise up the next generation. They've raised up a generation of these nut jobs. We've got to raise up generations of strong, confident people and put them in positions of power at these organizations.
Starting point is 00:46:40 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 got to take them back and there's multiple you know i would say vectors upon which we need to fight but we need to we need our own long march through the institutions uh brandy tatum we got to say goodbye to you because you got a you got things to do people to see
Starting point is 00:47:03 you're busy man but thank you for joining us for this hour uh and making the time to sit with us and come to the studio you honor us and you honor charlie and you were a good friend of charlie so yeah final word my friend thank you man i thank you for let me be here man it's an honor to sit you know 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 all right balance in nature would like to take a moment to honor the life and legacy of our friend Charlie Kirk Charlie dedicated his life to

And we have two guests from our field team. Everybody is talking about the field team and what the great work that you guys are doing. doing. So thank you for joining. I really wanted to highlight the great work you guys are doing. We got Nick Koka, Club America Enterprise Director. Yes, sir. By the way, Nick is looking slim and trim and very, very healthy.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Love to see that. Chris Gaffrey, College Enterprise Director. Yes, that is correct. 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 goes 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.
Starting point is 00:49:27 We have a big part in those tours that Charlie loved 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 is 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.
Starting point is 00:50:01 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, 6,600 people at Utah State and we had I guess Governor Cox we had Andy Biggs the great Andy Biggs
Starting point is 00:50:28 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 power 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.
Starting point is 00:50:50 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 due more of these tour stops than I honestly can count.
Starting point is 00:51:02 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, you know, some of our student action summits that we've done, much larger than CLS, you know, 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
Starting point is 00:51:37 people coming out three weeks later after a man was killed in the same state just an hour and sun changed away and saying i'm not afraid i'm going to come out i'm going to show face i love that uh nick let's transition brother so you are club america club america is our high school brand at tp usa and i will never forget this especially because of obviously obviously what happened uh just a few weeks later but we were in aspen we were talking with donors and charlie was like, we're going to have, we're going to 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.
Starting point is 00:52:19 23,000. Andrew Seifer, who's the VP of Field, great guy, was like, could we maybe like 10,000 or whatever? Like, you know, just because he's freaking out because he's like, 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's been amazing. There are two types of high schools in this country, high schools that have Club America chapters and high schools that will soon have Club America chapters. Well said. One of the two. we have had 1500 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 uh i'm probably gonna have to tweet that um give me this clip by the this is i want to tweet that that's a that's a that's a really big i mean you guys are making quick work 1500 it's been it's been amazing i remember
Starting point is 00:53:29 when charlie sat right here uh 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 were, 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.
Starting point is 00:54:12 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 happened. 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.
Starting point is 00:54:31 It was like these kids had been probably being seen, 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 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 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.
Starting point is 00:55:06 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.
Starting point is 00:55:31 They knew who he was. love turning point or hate turning point they knew who we were and that to see that growth over such a short period of time and see the passion and the energy i mean i i'll tell this story real quick right after the utah state event um we went out and got ice cream and the girl behind this is like some 17 year old high school girl um she asks us she sees my jacket says turning point she's like are you a turning point USA i was just at that event i 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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, and I would tell Blake this, like, I had to keep recalibrating how famous he was becoming. Because I was, I was always like, I don't know, like a year behind in my internal clock of, 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
Starting point is 00:57:02 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 Chan just a giant convoy well you got those chance at Utah State yeah yeah yeah there was a lot of chant
Starting point is 00:57:21 a lot I mean that first event that we did 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
Starting point is 00:57:39 something. They do not want to sit idly by why a man died. Well, I want to talk about the tour stops that are coming up in 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
Starting point is 00:57:55 coming up. So guys, I am just so excited about the tour. So tell us what were we done already? We did Megan Kelly. That was the first one. So it was Michael. 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 Yonkin. And then, yes, I'm losing track of my days two days ago. We had Utah State, which was a phenomenal event. Largest that we've ever done. 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
Starting point is 00:58:29 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 fine job. 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
Starting point is 00:59:14 to see how far we've grown since then. That's amazing. And you have seen many iterations of this movement of what Charlie's built here. And so you are a keeper of history. And I, 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 we operate to see how we would inspire the troops how we would motivate the staff and how we 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 don't
Starting point is 01:00:02 I'm going to go high school, then college, okay? High school. So 1500, 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, you know, daughter or son or a grandkid has reached out and inquired to start. 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 and get involved for them on our Club America website or on TPSA students' website and you're in high
Starting point is 01:00:44 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? 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. We'll get you linked up. And by the way, that's really powerful because we have multiple from a lot of these
Starting point is 01:01:23 schools. Because, you know, if there are any trolls they're 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, 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.
Starting point is 01:01:53 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 your.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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 applicants well we've pretty much saturated the vast vast majority of college campuses so you're not going to get like a huge you 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 we figure out what it is devote a reg and we have these tours yeah 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 uh we're going to keep on going we're to keep this tour alive uh we're going to
Starting point is 01:02:57 be going all over the nation we got Tucker carlson coming up we've got uh who else who we've 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 the but it's big big yeah so who else do we got though yeah we got a lot of a lot of great people coming up. We have Savannah Crisley. Savannah, oh, we got Russell Brand. Yes, Governor Kevin Stitt. Yeah, Oklahoma. Yes. We're going to have Governor Jeff Landry, Ali Bettsducki.
Starting point is 01:03:26 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.
Starting point is 01:03:49 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.
Starting point is 01:04:07 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. This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y. 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 Y-R-R-R-E-F-Y-F-I.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I'm going to tell you guys about Y-R-R-E-F-Y.com. Y-R-R-E-F-Y-F-F-Y-F-E-F-Y-FI is incredible.

Private Student Loan Debt Relief, Y-Refi.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 a, this is fantastic. Senator, welcome to the show. Yeah, I did. I'm actually right off an exit ramp if you can't tell. I love it. Well, God bless you for that. I, you know, So 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,
Starting point is 01:05:54 and it was just so sincere and so sweet and kind was this senator right here from the state of Oklahoma. And I saw you as well at the White House when J.D. 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 you 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 you, right? It's a Christian value that you see at every walk of life that you say, I want some 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 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. We're, you know, they don't, Democrats aren't fighting. for health care and Medicare for illegals, or is it, let me see, Medicaid eligibility for
Starting point is 01:07:14 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. And their CR, they strike subsection, and the subsection they strike is subsection 7110. alien metal Medicaid eligibility they're striking it out specifically of the OBBB now what they're saying the slide of hand that they're saying here is they're saying well we're not we're not given illegals well what they're saying is just since we're not given illegals is 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 percent it entered this country illegally they should have never been
Starting point is 01:08:07 paroled. Biden was paroling 98% of everybody meaning 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
Starting point is 01:08:23 OBB did was cut the waste and fraud of it and said we're not giving those individuals 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
Starting point is 01:08:42 what they're doing they're relying to the american people and this is why that and and this is right here is why that they're saying they want the government open for four you for four weeks for one point five trillion dollars it basically undoes undoes all the waste and fraud we cut out of obb because they reinstate it and and 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 um well we lost them no i got you oh you got me okay sorry my i can't see you guys so good to put that in perspective it's 900 uh that's that's 600 billion dollars above the indiaa which is
Starting point is 01:09:29 our national defense authorization act that's a not 600 billion dollars above our defense budget that's crazy that's 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 health care spending and so i mean so so so they lost this uh fight during the bb right we ended up passing that getting accomplished and our side candidly wanted even more cuts and so here 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.
Starting point is 01:10:13 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.
Starting point is 01:10:40 129. Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. And the like in the plants in the audience are like, everybody clap, clap. And so then they start clapping. I'm 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 camera. 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 health care 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 uh Jake Tapper uh Jake Tapper 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 Sorda.
Starting point is 01:11:49 It's, 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 that's a lie. 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
Starting point is 01:12:35 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.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Your reaction? Well, Jake, I was on the show right before that, right before Jeffrey came on. And Jake actually agreed. He was like, yeah, you're accurate. So when he talked to me, he knew it was right. But here's something that people aren't even talking about. The $1.5 trillion that they're wanting to add back in isn't even, it doesn't have anything to do with the funding for discretionary spending.
Starting point is 01:13:20 The $1.5 trillion 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, it's the, the, 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 the under, 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 continuing resolution. So it's the same thing in January before President Trump was in office. And then. then 10 of them, including Chuck Schumer, voted for this bill in March. Nothing has changed. Well, so, 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
Starting point is 01:14:20 you know, you know, AOC saying, this isn't 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 meming Haking Jeffries
Starting point is 01:14:48 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.
Starting point is 01:15:03 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 the 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.
Starting point is 01:15:34 coming into the federal government right now because the Democrats shut it down. So what Russ 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 permanently cut. all right so senator what can be done what can russ vote do at this point we got about a minute
Starting point is 01:16:09 left tell us what what he can do well when a democrat succeeded power can you guys hear me just fine yep when the when the democrat succeeded power and gave it to president trump to force the 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 we went in a shutdown because of nancy plosie 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 folks to go in and say you're essential or not 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
Starting point is 01:16:53 these employees were showing up for work they grew most agencies at 100 and 150 percent that's 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 can open the government
Starting point is 01:17:16 in five minutes if they wanted to. The longer it continues, the more fat we get a 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 in exposing the Democrat lie there because it's just so blatant. It's so
Starting point is 01:17:32 and it's so cynical it's gross senator thank you for joining us i know you made uh 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 for ternie thank you and you 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 left his mark on it left his mark we are playing offense just like charlie always wanted us to do So you got Russ vote going in saying, we might permanently close some of these agencies in the shutdown.
Starting point is 01:18:06 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. Privatized TSA, privatize air traffic controllers, abolish the IRS, removed 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.
Starting point is 01:18:32 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 good rama manual from chicago charlie took that page right out of rama manual'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 you should come in for this come on come on he's there he's there because he was very excited but i can start providing yeah so basically i want so we put this in the title of the show and so i'm a little annoyed that we're just getting it to to it now but basically there is i mean if this ad gets up nypd cop on sick leave snuck into the writer
Starting point is 01:19:17 cup in full tactical gear claimed he was on trump's security and somehow this 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 uh 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 sickly but he's well enough to go sneak into the rider yeah and tactical gear yeah have full tactical gear guns everything and he got through secrets service by telling them I'm just a part of the security team, which is like just the craziest thing.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Like how does that, like what the heck? And I will tell you there is like 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 are security? 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.
Starting point is 01:20:43 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 I was in the event and I was just I'm just not going to mention this to anybody yeah well 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 they also had well at his Virginia golf course a guy got through with a Glock and they didn't catch him I mean Trump
Starting point is 01:21:19 wasn't there at the golf course but like a guy with a concealed carry yeah and so he got through somehow um they didn't find it until 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 yeah 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 wondering who danny charlie loved you so much you guys were set so tight and charlie's just like wherever yeah wherever charlie was you would be uh hanging around And you were helping him research topics.
Starting point is 01:21:59 And you were just a real confident for trial. They tried to love 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?
Starting point is 01:22:20 It was like the, he was going down some escalators. The escalator is going up and then suddenly broke at the exact time. like he was going on it. And they just left him there. The Secret Service just froze and just... They had no idea what to do next. Yeah, it was just absurd. So he's just a sitting duck.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Yeah, here's the escalator, right? So Trump is always very careful on stairways. He doesn't want a 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?
Starting point is 01:22:53 Yeah, there was, I think, communications that they said that, like, UN staff was joking about doing that earlier in the week. And then it happened. So it's definitely personal. I think it's disgusting that the UN is in New York. I mean, it's a compliment. Devil's advocate. If it left New York, would you feel better if the UN was in Beijing?
Starting point is 01:23:14 No, but I think the UN is awful. I think it is a flex that we have the UN in New York. It's a flex, but gosh, come on. Like, these people are just trolling our president.
