Netflix, The Failing Secret Service, and TPUSA Everywhere
Officer Brandon Tatum is the latest longtime friend of Charlie to join the team in-studio. They discuss a gross groomer show released by Netflix and created by someone celebrating Charlie's murder, as well as the continued gross efforts to smear Charlie as a bigot. Nick Cocca and Chris Gaffrey lay out the dramatic expansion of Turning Point and Club America chapters that will be coming to almost every high school and college in America. Blake, Andrew, and Danny expose some dangerously close calls with the Secret Service that could place Trump's life at risk.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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 gonna end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You gotta 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, you would say college chapter.
Go start attorney point, you'll 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 Museme.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
I'm Andrew Colvet, 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.
He loves that nickname.
And of course, Brandon Tatum, the officer Brandon Tatum.
Thank you for joining us, my friend.
Hey, it's my pleasure.
You are uh a Phoenix local.
You have uh been with us in and around Turning Point USA for many years, speaking at our events, tabling with us, and um I mean you're doing amazing work, my friend, and uh we're just honored to have you in in studio next to the chair, next to Charlie's chair.
Yeah, it's surreal, man.
It's surreal being here uh looking at the chair and seeing all Charlie's stuff and everything he's done and built.
Um so it I got mixed motions, man.
You know, I I feel angry.
It makes me angry now that I'm here physically, you know.
Um, 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 uh 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 mean I think it was just in April, as a matter of fact, wasn't that long ago.
So if I I'm told there may be swear words in this clip, so let's play this B-roll.
But this was you tabling at UC Davis, uh 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 it was it was outrageous.
Um the interesting part is that when I showed up the campus, they had already come to the table and destroyed it the first time.
I I wasn't aware of that.
Um as soon as I got out of the car, they were like, we're being attacked by the Atifa and the phone hung up.
And then by the time I got, you know, from the car to the campus, they had already reached set up everything and it 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 and the video team was telling me, man, they you know, you know, we we we don't we want to leave.
Like these people are violent.
They 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 gonna do if they come back?
You know, am I gonna have to swing on these people or are you gonna do something?
And they literally told me to my face that we're not gonna do anything.
We're just gonna cancel the event.
And I said, that's not right.
If they come back, we gotta 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 pe the bad guys here, the people that are trying to interrupt the event and just disrupt everything, steal everything, we're just gonna 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 has no filter.
They claim they support blacks and black and brown bodies and all this stuff, but the black man comes on campus, they don't say what they want to say.
They're willing to attack us.
And nobody's gonna say anything about it.
And it was it was very troubling to see what they did.
You know, I I had to, you know, defend a couple people and push a little non-binaries out the way a little bit.
A part of personally, I wanted to just go one by one and and uh knock them all out, which I probably could have because they were all soft and weak and and cowards.
But you know, I wanted to do it in the in the spirit of Charlie.
Charlie wouldn't want to knock these people out.
Well, maybe he wanted to, but he wouldn't.
He would have been peaceful and saying, you know, don't touch them, let them go.
But you know, I I had a little more uh in me on that day, but you know, I kept it.
You keep one of their bikes and uh one-on-one flying a little bit, you know what I'm saying?
You know, but they you know, I had to give them some 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 Cato coming out and being like, actually, most violence is is right wing, but something like that, where a bunch of violent goons like 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 it's absolutely a form of political violence.
Did any of them get arrested?
No.
Of course not.
No, no, and they and they struck a woman right in front of police.
I was standing next to them.
Said, you see what she they just hit that woman, and it was one you see the person that walked from behind, hit her in the head, so they can identify that person.
They didn't even pursue them, right?
They they went back to a central location to stage when they got on the scene and they left the same way, the right in front of the police station, and nobody got arrested.
Well, I mean, there's two things that come to mind with this.
Uh uh, let's let's first play Katie Davis court.
She's a reporter for the post-millennial.
She's been to turning point events, um, and you know, she's 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 Brighton 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 to Antifa, and they just let everything play out.
Yeah, that that's absolutely correct.
Yeah, so it's kind of going to what you're talking about.
You go into these blue 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 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 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 with a win or lose, they ride and flip over cars and burnt.
Yeah, we were in Tucson.
So we 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 we'll see, we did it in a in 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 right gear out.
And if if it came to it, we'll get the right 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 or tabling or anything like that, and 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 taken to the streets.
What was there?
It was vigils and memorials and prayer.
We are not the same.
Right.
Because ultimately the 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.
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 uh God is you know, uh 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 Taylor.
Wait, is it the officer Brandon Tate?
Whatever you're doing.
Some people know me as the officer.
Officer V Tatum, yeah, like Megan B style.
The the artist formerly known as, you know, is it is there the or not?
Um, yeah, so let's 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 give paint the picture.
Yeah, I think the the biggest uh 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 difficult, more difficult to me than me, because I'm a grown man and I got kids.
I these 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 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 uh University of Texas, everybody was reasonable, but the mind wasn't reasonable.
Um, out of every kid I talk to, and I do it for about three hours, and we probably talk to I don't know, a hundred kids, uh you know, maybe like 40, 50 of them ask questions that are uh substantive.
Good faith questions.
Good faith questions.
But the problem is is that I'm 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 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 I'm very concerned that the average kid 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.
Um, 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 a guy.
Well, it 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 uh argument, and therefore you could receive information better that way.
Nowadays it's propaganda.
You see it in cat 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 went got in trouble at that school.
You 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 cultural capture.
Capturing the institutions.
It was insane.
It was insane.
So you know, uh 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 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 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 how why college is a scam.
I mean, maybe just I mean, you you went to Dartmouth.
You are uh I think the most popular alum of Dart Dartmouth, aren't you?
You have a fan clip.
I think I've been I think I've been denounced a few times.
I mean, how bad are how bad are the are the ivies?
Well, it 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 is part of it.
So it's just it's gonna get people who are a little different.
Uh and then like Dartmouth had a reputation as a conservative one, and a good number of notable conservatives have gone there.
Uh Dinesh Suza went there, Laura Ingram went there.
I guess I went there.
Yeah, Dartmouth.
Yeah, Will Uh Laura was the editor of the conservative.
Yeah, 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.
Uh but yeah, the the college cartel, it's uh 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.
Uh and I'm not gonna say anything more.
You'll look it up.
We we're not gonna 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.
Uh 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 like fake knowledge production going on where yeah, they'll hire this drag queen as some sort of professor of the city.
Like, are you supposed to be like, you know, you know, sequencing DNA or you know, uh, you know, or even if you're gonna 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 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.
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.
Uh, you know, one of the professors we had at Maryland, uh, 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 uh 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 um we should almost have this clip.
I think it's just about ready.
126.
This is actually Cam Higby.
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 gonna throw it as B roll.
But he's sitting Here, somebody comes up, assaults him, and then he has to he pulls out mace and sprays this guy a lot.
So yeah, play it back.
So this guy's 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 in 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 a 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 Brandon Tatum, uh, 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 uh amount of disagreement on both sides.
These people are radical nut jobs, they're crazy, 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 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 they can't they can't win an argument, so they really kill you than win an argument.
And you know, the beauty of how God works, and you know, because I know we're running out of time, but um the joke's on them because Charlie's legacy is just gonna get bigger and there's gonna be more people on campus, and there's gonna be more conversations, and people are gonna be emboldened.
There's gonna be more Charlies, and these cowards are gonna lose at the end of the day.
But we 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 taking action with tariffs and strong policies to slow the train and bias 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 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 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 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.
I 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 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 yeah, we got a couple here on lockdown 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 that's their cherry-picked top line.
That's 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 gonna play, it's a long clip, but look, just play it through.
You'll hear what Charlie says himself.
101.
You really have to wonder.
In fact, you know, if 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 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 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 my own, so I needed to make take opportunities from someone more deserving.
Alright, 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 it's not even that 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 gonna tell you, Michelle, if it wasn't.
If your name was like, you know, Kim Su, you know, like some Asian name, yeah.
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 says something untoward don't have brain processing power either.
Including Barack Obama.
But these people that 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 he put he put Kentanji Brown Jackson in a bad situation.
That fool could have just simply said, I'm gonna hire the best, or I'm gonna, you know, appoint the best Supreme Court justice I can, the smartest and brightest that we've ever did, and it picked a black woman.
But instead, that old decrepit man said, I'm gonna pick a black woman.
He didn't even say he's gonna pick the smartest black woman.
He's just gonna pick up black woman.
And and that destroys the credibility of black people.
Same with Michelle Obama saying the things that she say.
Well, how about you guys support black people by saying, I'm gonna pick the most qualified person and let you know a black person come forward that's qualified?
And you know, I know Charlie.
You you know what I'm saying?
Like, you gotta be a fool to think Charlie is a racist.
You gotta be a fool.
You you are a disingenuous person with 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 stuff with, the people that he partnered with, the people that they have raving 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 he I've you know, 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.
Right.
And it's like I just have seen, you know, in my mind's eye, I could 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 uh I'm gonna play some other clips of Charlie, though.
Uh, let's go.
This is uh CK challenges student to name him one institution that got better or uh 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.
What one institution that got better that I embraced the EI 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 I love that he said that because people, some people don't have critical thinking skills on campus.
They don't 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 on a align with our mission.
But at the same time, I don't care who you are.
What is your resume say?
What what have you done to prepare for this position?
And most people who are rational who are successful, that's how they operate their business.
And 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 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 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 in positions of power.
I 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 space for women.
Uh and I was I saw this news the other day.
So the London London has one of the oldest stock exchanges in the world, one of the most historic.
And in they have a rule on the London Stock Exchange that to do an IPO, you need 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% 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 have put I mean it it falls off a cliff.
Yeah, that's wild.
Well, what is a woman, right?
So you know what I'm saying?
That's that's the secret.
That's how you get around course.
What do you do?
You know, I have half of the guys uh identify as women, and then there we go.
We we'll meet our quota.
Well, I mean, we have that clip somewhere, actually, I think, but it it's uh we'll they'll show it to me.
We'll play.
It's worth playing.
It's worth remembering the insanity that we live through.
Uh but here, you know, here's a here's another one I'm gonna play real quick here.
Um this is uh 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.
Um, what did we do before biologists?
Problem is biology's been taken over by DEI too.
So even they don't know the answer.
So it's a it's a it's a sick cycle.
She like she's proven Charlie's point about brain power.
Like, of course.
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 has children.
I don't know if Katanji Brown have children, but at some point, you 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 you get tripped up with that 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.
Um, Clarence Thomas is doing an incredible job.
We got his picture right behind you.
He's an excellent man, but they hate him.
He don't count.
And he he doesn't count.
Yeah.
And also just they would always do this, like, frankly, like actually pretty racist thing when when Scalio is 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.
He's actually the leader of the court, basically.
Uh, let's go ahead and play this.
This is a new story here.
And it just I 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.
There's the cotton thing.
The cotton thing.
So she goes into like style.
We lost Blake.
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.
It's a show.
We have 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's saying.
You gotta 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 is a decor.
Woman, white black people weren't the only people who are picking cotton.
All right.
What do you think they were doing before black people got over here?
You know, as if every black person picked every cotton, uh you know, pick cotton everywhere.
It's a plant.
Right.
And it's everybody use it.
She probably wear 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 gonna make it make it a point to be upset about something like that.
Well for what?
What's the point?
I don't know the point.
I can't believe we're making cotton controversial.
Right.
And it's harmful to other young black people.
They're the 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 uh 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 around say it.
I wrote it on X. I said she's the I think I said she's the dumbest person on planet earth.
She she should be ashamed of 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 stupidity of a per you're not allowed to do that with a person of color.
You're not a POC, whatever.
Just she's a black lady.
What's wrong with that?
I I wish we could just be honest.
Like you know, I look back at like George Carlin and this these comics of like yesteryear, and like they could actually 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, and but it was I think it was a release valve for culture.
Well, well, let's be honest.
Like, if you black, you can do a you got a full spectrum.
You can make fun of black people and you make fun of white people.
If you white, I don't see many comedian 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 uh Oh, uh, I know he's Bill Ma uh Bill uh 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 pass.
And he he he do a skit at black uh um like comedy clubs or what was his name?
Gary Owens.
Gary Owens.
Okay, I haven't seen it.
Yeah, no, you gotta 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 this skit at some of the black uh comedy studios.
So it was very funny, but outside of them, you can't find a white person making fun of black people when the those who have done it and have done it well, it's incredibly funny.
Yeah, well, I I I was just looking up his comedy, but that's that's gonna be Oh, he's fine.
That's worth 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 dollars gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
280 Dollars can save 10 babies, and just 28 dollars 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 opportunities just a phone call or click away.
Call 833-850-229 or click on the pre-born banner at Charlie Kirk.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 gonna believe this clip.
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.
It's been a 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 that can't.
I don't think it's gonna 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 know what?
That's right.
That's right.
Okay, that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna find a way to get around the 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.
Uh 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 uh a children's show, animated.
Um but it has all of this like aggressive kind of sexuality propaganda on it.
Uh, what was the number again?
Uh du We'll get it.
Craud, I had it in front of me.
You know, you you get your one opportunity here, man.
And you you miss the clip.
Here I'll find it.
Where are we?
There's way too many of these.
Uh, this is all right.
Here we go.
Uh let's do one sixteen.
It's not the park.
It's 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.
Huxley reminded me how important it is to live your life without apology.
So I think I gotta 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 in the past of our friends.
Alright, Brandon.
Well, these people going straight to hell for the stuff that they're doing, in my opinion.
Um, I I I think is is very troubling because when you look at the spectrum of you know how many kids are actually trans are going through the it's rarely is 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 their 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 keys 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 can I get some attention?
Right.
Exactly.
If I come out with this 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 what they trans when they three.
You know how stupid that is.
You know, I I got a 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, No, you a boy.
You know, all you gotta do is check when you go to the bathroom, you you you got that one another one.
So but they 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 their 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 earlier, earlier 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 always want to have 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 uh Hamish Steele.
And one has total yeah, we should be able to throw it up here.
I think they have it as B-roll.
Uh, but he was posting on Blue Sky Uh that he first of all, he has this like very creepy future molester looking face, in my opinion.
Um let's see which one was there.
All right, there he is, finally.
Yeah.
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.
Uh why the F are you even commenting on this um object head?
You D head, your yeah, you D head.
Uh 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 obviously the kind of guy who would say, like, oh, love is everything, kindness is everything.
Tolerance.
Such a fraud, such a fat fraud.
I mean, so this is what frustrates me is these is a perfect example, Blake.
And I'm so glad you highlighted the show creator of the the type of people that are pushing this insanity on kids.
I bet he doesn't have kids, first of all.
He's a the he they probably no kids.
But this is what they do.
And and new new studies have come out that have exposed this that conservatives are having above replacement above replacement level children.
Liberals are not.
First of all, we're gonna outbreed them.
Secondly, they are not pro uh procreating, and so the only way that they can push and expand this this ideology, this woke garbage, this evilness, is that's to spawn it via programming, and they know that that our kids are absorbing things at this age like sponges.
They know that this stuff is programming goes in deep.
So parents out there, do not put the Netflix on and just let it go.
And like, you know, because it 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 uh put those images up.
Everybody uh that's boycotting Netflix.
I mean, Elon Musk has gotten behind it, it's been seen millions and millions of 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 sides as them or whatever, but you know, whatever.
But it's run by a bunch of leftists, and they're they're programming our kids to embrace this garbage, and they need to feel the pain financially if they're gonna 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 section.
This is you know how Netflix is.
You go, I'm gonna do the kids one or the normal one.
And this is in the kids.
Yeah.
And it's it's strategic.
This is what they're doing.
And parents quit being cowards.
If your kid comes 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 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 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 I'm a I'm a 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 I 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 was 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 and we gotta 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 gonna 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 15 years.
The 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 not been as good at that.
Like we've you know, we had one kind of really big boycott with uh 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.
Target kind of took they they stopped doing it, but I wasn't a full win, but at least Target tuck tail a little bit rampant.
You're right.
I mean, if you want to good example, it's like the NFL.
Like I feel every two years or so, the NFL does something super lib, and you people come out and they're like, we're gonna boycott the NFL, go woke, go broke, and then the NFL just steamrolls them.
The NFL goes, we're gonna go around you and do big bunny because now we're gonna we're gonna 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 I'll run into people who think the NFL is circling the drain.
Oh, yeah.
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 gotta raise up the next generation.
They've raised up a generation of these nut jobs.
We gotta 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 look as there because there's a this whole debate on the right.
Are we gonna create our parallel institutions?
Are we gonna take back the institutions?
Well, we gotta take them back.
And uh there's multiple, you know, I would say vectors upon which we need to fight, but we need to in we need our own long march through the institutions.
Uh Brandon Tatum, we gotta say goodbye to you because you gotta you got things to do.
People see you're a 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.

So thank you for joining.
I really wanted to highlight the great work you guys are doing.
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.
So why don't we start with you, Chris?
Uh, explain what it is you do and uh and we'll just start there.
What 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 uh that goes into the field program that Charlie built over so many years, over the last 13 years.
Um, and where we have a presence on so many of these college campuses across the country.
Uh we have a big part in those tours that Charlie loves so much.
Um, all of the things that we were doing uh these last few years on campus with the prove me wrongs with these evening events.
Uh that's a lot of what I do is just travel the country and work one on one with these students.
Uh get to see it firsthand what it's like being on a college campus as a conservative uh before Charlie's assassination and now and the the big difference is there.
Yeah, and I mean people have been asking about this.
We're not doing the the open air prove me wrongs, right?
And 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, I I'm candidly I'm I'm relieved that we're not.
Uh, but like, secondly, we are still doing the evening events.
Yes.
And these evening events team, if you could throw some of this B-roll.
I mean, at Utah State, this was what, six thousand, six, sixty-two hundred people at Utah State.
And we had, I guess, Governor Cox, we had um Andy Biggs, the great Andy Biggs, love Andy.
He's gonna be the next governor of Arizona.
We had uh Jason Chaffetz, who was actually there at UVU.
Uh, so that was a really powerful I know that was really powerful for him to kind of get back there.
And you see this footage.
I mean, the energy's just incredible at these things.
Um, and the this was our largest evening event of all time at a campus.
And by the way, a little hint, we're gonna beat it.
We're gonna, we're gonna even exceed this in this campus tour.
Tell us, 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, um, there's definitely some some closure there, and being that, and you know, for context, I was not at UVU that day.
Um, 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 um and having a room that is larger than a lot of our conferences.
I mean, it was larger than YWS, larger than you know, some of our student action summits that we've done, much larger than CLS, you know, it's 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 sun change away, and saying, I'm not afraid.
I'm going to come out, I'm gonna 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 gonna have we're gonna get a uh Club America at 35,000 high schools.
And I was like, Charlie, um there's only 23 or 24,000 high schools.
He's like, All right, fine.
23,000.
You know, Andrew Cypher, who's the VP of a field, great guy, was like, um, 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 gonna be.
And Charlie's like, fine, all right, fine.
You know, he because Charlie was always pushing us and pushing us and pushing us more and more and more.
And and so within days of what happened, you know, finding out that there's a hundred and twenty thousand inquiries, about fifty percent of which to start new chapters, about fifty percent, 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 America chapters and high schools that will soon have Club America chapters.
Well said, wasn't it?
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 since Charlie's past.
Oh, that's breaking news, folks.
Uh I'm probably gonna have to tweet that.
Um give me this clip, by the way.
This is I want to tweet that.
That's a uh that's a really big I mean you guys are making quick work.
1500, it's been amazing.
I remember when Charlie sat right here uh and announced that we hit 1,000 chapters back in 2023, something that we thought was uh 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 um 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.
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.
Well, 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 since they were kids.
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 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 uh in Detroit, Michigan.
If you know anything about Detroit, it is not a conservative city at all.
Um and when I was a chapter president, I remember saying, Hey, do you know who Charlie Kirk is?
And unfortunately, every answer was no.
And then now the difference is everybody knows turning point.
Everybody knows 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 the to see that that growth over such a short period of time and see the passion and the energy.
I mean, I I'll tell the 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, and she's like, Are you at Turning Point USA?
I was just at that event.
I I just clocked in because I called off and I 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, uh, Andrew and myself and the tourist team.
And the it's just so weird to think how much this organization and this movement has meant to people since Charlie's passing.
I 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.
Uh it it is really I I mean it it's earth-shattering.
It's breathtaking.
I 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 beatle.
It shocked me the most when we were doing the whole uh Nebraska push.
And so we went on campus during the tailgating before uh 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 Charlie chance just a giant convoy.
Well, and you got those chants at Utah State.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was a lot of chance.
I mean, that that first uh uh event that we did uh post Charlie's assassination, the energy in the room was just something different.
It was it was just completely different.
It there was there's hope.
That I think that's the best way to put it.
There's hope in the air in uh amongst young conservatives.
They want to get involved, they want to do something.
They do not want to sit idly by why a man died.
Well, I want to I want to I want to talk about um the tour stops that are coming up and the future plans for high school uh 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 uh by the tour.
So tell us what what have we done already?
We did Megan Kelly, that was the first one.
So it was Michael Knowles.
Oh, Michael Knowles in Minnesota.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
He went to, yeah.
Yeah, so we had Minnesota with Michael Knowles and then Virginia uh Tech with uh Meghan Kelly and Governor uh Glenn Young.
Uh and then uh yes uh yesterday, um losing track of my days two days ago.
Uh we had Utah State, uh, which was a phenomenal event.
Yeah, you just said we're gonna be able to do that.
And by the way, I want to say something about that with Governor Cox.
People were, you know, why'd 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 uh, you know, he had some he had some good points.
And I want I want to tell the world that, you know.
And uh I thought he did a 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 Whoa.
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 uh it's amazing to see how far we've grown since then.
That's amazing.
And you you you have seen many iterations of this movement of what Charlie has built here, and so you are a keeper of history, and and I uh 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 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 uh 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 uh I'm gonna go high school, then college, okay?
High school.
So 1500, we I mean, you have tens of thousands of applications.
Are we changing the way we're doing this?
Have has everybody been uh 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 in the days ahead?
Our field team, our representatives have been hard at work just calling, uh 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 gonna 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.
Um we we have 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 grandparent of a student, and you're like, uh, how do you even do it?
We we tell you how to do it.
Like we have a whole roadmap, we have all the tools, and we're gonna 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 at well-intentioned, but they just really maybe shouldn't be the president or vice president of a chapter.
We're gonna find that out in this process, right?
I mean, we're gonna we're gonna get the best.
It's really amazing how we're able to bring people together.
We have students that we 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 that's so right on.
When you step out and you join this movement, you will your life will never be the same for the better because you're something you're gonna be part of something that's much bigger than yourself.
And that goes for our college camp.
So it's a little different on cat 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 gonna 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 gonna plug these people in, maybe door knock, whatever.
We just figure out what it is.
Devote Reg, and we have these tours.
Yeah.
So tell us what we can expect uh in the coming days, because this tour is kicking off, and we're not backing down.
No, not at all.
We're not not backing down.
Uh, we're gonna keep on going.
We're gonna keep this tour alive.
Uh, we're gonna be going all over the nation.
We 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 gotta coordinate, we gotta coordinate the but it's big.
Big.
Yeah, so who else do we got though?
Yeah, we gotta talk about it a lot of a lot of great people coming up with that.
Savannah Chris Lee.
Savannah Chris.
Oh, we got Russell Brand.
Yes, Governor Kevin Stitt.
Yeah, for Oklahoma.
Yes.
Uh we're gonna have Governor Jeff Landry, Ali Betstuckey.
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.
Uh, I mean, I've never I've been to so many of these stores, I've never seen students line up seven hours before the tour stop begins.
And you are seeing young I mean the older arena.
Yeah, I mean it is crazy.
We're 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 the campus out stops outdoors, because it was like 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 Schoomberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y Refi.

We have the great Senator Mark Wayne Mullen on the show from the state of Oklahoma, who uh I don't know if he I think he pulled over on the side of the road to do this.
Uh this this is uh 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 uh you know I I just want the audience to know uh what kind of guy this is on the other end of this uh this uh 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 uh 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 and vice president JD Vance was hosting the show, and uh 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.
And I'm awfully proud of you all.
I mean, very proud of you all.
Uh and it's just the love that you guys have for each other, the love you have for the country.
Um it's just such a um it's not the you want to be part of, you gravitate to, right?
Uh it's it's a Christian value that you see in every walk of life that you say, I want 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, I uh we we've got your back.
I know you got ours, and and uh you've been an important voice though in the 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 you've working with the White House, and you've been getting messaging out.
I I wanted to bring a lawmaker in to talk about this shutdown.
And you it seems it seems like this central debate here.
You've got CNN saying, oh, we're it's not true.
We're well, you know, they don't uh Democrats aren't fighting for health care and Medicare uh for illegals, uh, or is it uh let me see, Medicaid eligibility for for illegals.
Uh and you put out a tweet basically debunking this that you're saying it is, and we're not gonna budge on it.
Tell us, tell us what the truth is, Senator.
100% is.
Um, and I'll I'll actually read it for you once we get it pulled up here.
Um And 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 OBB.
Now what they're saying, the slide of hand that they're saying saying here is they're saying, well, we're we're not we're not giving it legals.
Well, what they're saying is 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% it entered this country illegally.
They should have never been parole.
Biden was paroling 98% of everybody.
Um and uh in the last four years, Biden paroled them without even looking at their status.
And what that what uh OBBB did was cut the waste and fraud out of it, they were not giving those individuals uh 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 that they're saying they want the government open for four years for four weeks for 1.5 trillion dollars.
It basically undoes uh 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.
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 six hundred billion dollars above the NDAA, which is our def National Defense Authorization Act.
That's a nice six hundred 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, this so they lost this uh 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 Democrats saying, Oh, even the cuts you got, we're gonna shut down the government for it.
And so then you've got Trump who's brilliantly trolling Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer with these uh 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, it and we 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 govern 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 I am a little grateful that like the peak insanity of you know, 2018 through 2022, basically, 23, is gonna be the gift that keeps on giving.
Because thankfully we have cameras and the 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.
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.
I it burned deep in me then, and it 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 it's it's weak, but he's calling out the hypocrisy of Hakeem Jeffries play cut 105.
They're how they characterize it uh characterize It is you want to give health insurance uh 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 knowing that they're going to seize right upon that and use that as a message?
All right.
So we have Senator Mark Wayne Mullin back.
So Senator Jake Tapper basically says, well, of course it's a lie.
Of course, there's what they're saying is a lie, but like, but it's kind of true.
Uh 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, uh, right before Jeffrey came on, and Jake actually agreed.
He was 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 it's the hippo the the craziness is coming out of the Democrats right now by shutting down the government over something that doesn't have anything to do with the bill, then wanting 1.5 trillion dollars.
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, continued 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 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 he's still one of the cool kids.
He's gonna get radical like uh like like his uh 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 gonna go clear some dead wood while we got this shutdown going, because we're gonna 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 uh dollars 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 gonna 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 tempered 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 could what what he can do.
Well, when the Democrats succeeded power, um, can you guys hear me just fine?
Yep.
When the when the when the Democrats 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 Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, um, 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 Oak 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 uh tenure, which was during COVID, and none of these employees were showing up for work, they grew most agencies at a hundred and a hundred and fifty percent.
That's that so to say we're gonna cut ten percent of the employee workforce uh by cutting the bloated federal government is nothing.
It's easily done, and this can be done within a matter of weeks.
So the longer the the the Schumer shutdown continues because they can open the they could open the government in five minutes if they wanted to.
And the longer it continues, uh 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 blatant 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 for this show.
So God bless you for that.
And thank you again for all of your amazing support for Charlie for taking a few.
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 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 the Charlie always wanted us to do.
So you got Russ Vogue going in saying, I'm gonna we might permanently close some of these agencies.
Yeah, yeah, let's put up, let's put up two eighty.
This is just a tweet from 2019, so much younger Charlie.
We had the temporary the limited shutdown that we had with uh Trump, and he was saying we should use the shutdown as a chance to shrink government permanently.
And he throws out a few things privatized 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.
Um, 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.
Rama Manual from Chicago.
Charlie took that page right out of Rama Manuel's book.
You never let a crisis go to waste.
Never let a gut 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, come on in there.
If he's there, because he was very excited, but I can start providing.
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 into to it now.
But basically, there is I mean if this ad gets up, an NYPD cop on sick leave snuck into the writer cup in full tactical gear, claimed he was on Trump's security, and somehow this is a 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, you go, they're gonna 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, 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 writer camp and 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 s a scary thing.
We actually corrected this at the at 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 gotta have like markers to like indicate you gotta have these 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, uh, 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 similar one when we did our event yeah, yeah, in DC for the uh the inauguration.
There was like a big security thing to go through, and I don't I 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 gonna 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.
Trump wasn't there at the golf course, but like a guy with a with a concealed carry permit.
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.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, I mean, so by the way, people wondering who Danny is.
Danny, Charlie loved you so much.
You guys were set so tight.
And Charlie was just like, where yeah, wherever Charlie was, you would be uh hanging around.
You were helping him research topics, and you 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 the the what exactly happened there again?
It was like the the he was going down some escalators.
The escalator he's going up and then suddenly broke at the exact time that like he was going on it.
And they just left him there.
The Secret Service just froze and just no idea what to do next.
Yeah, it was just absurd.
So he's just sitting duck.
Yeah, here here's the escalator, right?
So Trump is always very careful on stairways.
He doesn't want to trip.
Oh, and it stops.
Like how I've never 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 was it 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.

I think it's disgusting that the UN is in in New York.
I mean, I let's I mean it's a goblin.
Devil's advocate.
If it left New York, would you feel better if the UN was in Beijing?

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.
Um, yeah, and and by the way, we gotta throw up throw 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?
Uh he's on leave now.
That's on leave.
How about you fired?
Why do we always do this le the you okay?
I get it that they have unions, but when you endanger the life of a of the president of the United States, you don't deserve leave.
You deserve to be fired immediately without pay or Bennies.
That's how I feel about it.
Well, Secret Service needs to say something too.
Like they have amazing.
They need to be held accountable for this, absolutely.
Danny Phillip, the man, the myth, the legend.
Welcome to the show.
I'm glad we're gonna start working in the team because we all uh, like I said, we carry a piece of Charlie with us.
