00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You've got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 All right.
00:01:17.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:18.000 September 17th, 2026.
00:01:21.000 We're here in Phoenix, Arizona at the Y Refi Studio.
00:01:24.000 Honored to be with you all as always.
00:01:27.000 Lots of news going on and a big, big bombshell out of Town Hall.com.
00:01:33.000 Let's give credit where it's due.
00:01:35.000 This is something that was near and dear to my heart because, you know what?
00:01:39.000 We covered a lot with Charlie.
00:01:40.000 A lot.
00:01:41.000 And that was what we believe to be the criminal enterprise that is known as Act Blue.
00:01:48.000 Yes, Act Blue, the mega behemoth fundraising juggernaut of the left.
00:01:53.000 It was so big, so powerful, so effective that we came up with something called Win Red just to counter it.
00:02:00.000 It was that effective.
00:02:01.000 Now, through the years, Act Blue has raised billions and billions of dollars that it has farmed out to candidates all across the country, giving them a massive political and financial advantage in many cases.
00:02:14.000 But come to find out that internal Slack messages from ActBlue have now been made known and they show staff knowingly waived through foreign donations.
00:02:27.000 Now, Blake, I'm not a political scientist, but I sometimes play one on TV.
00:02:33.000 Is that legal?
00:02:35.000 Well, you're not the lawyer who often plays one on TV.
00:02:39.000 Well, no, you're not allowed to take foreign money.
00:02:42.000 Now, so this is a really big story, but this is what Democrats have been doing for a long time.
00:02:47.000 Now, this is.
00:02:49.000 When you get into it, it actually has proof that people in Act Blue were saying, Hey, we can't do this.
00:02:55.000 It's really remarkable.
00:02:57.000 And as you said, about $16 billion raised over about the last 20 years.
00:03:02.000 This is the engine of the Obama political machine.
00:03:06.000 And it was that the way they worked was they really mastered getting lots of small donations, the ones who would get really passionate about Obama, for example, and channeling that into all their other races.
00:03:17.000 That was the secret weapon of Act Blue, to make it so the people who get really fired up about your president.
00:03:22.000 End up having their money diverted to those other races that don't fire up people as much, your random House race, Senate race, and so on.
00:03:30.000 And people have been pointing out for years it was political genius, and people have pointed out for years there's shady parts of this, but most of the time the left controlled either literally controlled the White House or they at least controlled the federal enforcement apparatus, and we weren't as good at exposing what was going on.
00:03:46.000 But this report from Congress, the details of it are really remarkable, and you can find all of this on X. There's a town hall thread that lays out.
00:03:53.000 The best parts of it.
00:03:54.000 So, for example, ActBlue has told Congress that they're able to stop foreign donors because they have passport verification.
00:04:02.000 And then their policy, which they have the exact line available, all it does is check whether their passport number has the right number of characters in it.
00:04:13.000 So, the right number of numbers.
00:04:15.000 That's all they check.
00:04:16.000 They don't go to a database and make sure it's a real number.
00:04:19.000 All they do is check that it has the right number of characters.
00:04:22.000 It has the air of an organization that.
00:04:26.000 Is finding the loosest way to enable fraud.
00:04:30.000 Basically, that's what it is.
00:04:32.000 So, what actually gets a foreign donation approved at ActBlue?
00:04:36.000 A supervisor's own words The donor is foreign, but correctly entered the billing address.
00:04:41.000 Approved.
00:04:42.000 Approved.
00:04:43.000 Another one Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong, but none of their other signals raise any eyebrow.
00:04:50.000 Approved.
00:04:53.000 This one is pretty cut and dry.
00:04:54.000 Donor's information pointed entirely to Canada.
00:04:58.000 ActBlue approved it anyway because, and this is a real quote Twitter seems to confirm that they are a real person.
00:05:06.000 A foreign flagged donor got waved through because they, quote, had a LinkedIn.
00:05:11.000 You just picture someone with one of those old timey stamps just going like approved, approved, approved. 0.93
00:05:15.000 Seems legit.
00:05:16.000 Well, this is what's crazy about this.
00:05:18.000 That means that essentially social media profiles are now campaign finance law compliance.
00:05:26.000 I'm pretty sure we know a little bit about bot accounts now, sock puppet accounts.
00:05:30.000 We know about a lot of things.
00:05:32.000 This is what ActBlue was doing.
00:05:33.000 Now, one of the craziest aspects of this entire story is that ActBlue's own legal counsel, a guy named Zane Ahmed, he tried to report it.
00:05:47.000 And then IT keeps deleting his messages.
00:05:51.000 This one says, please stop deleting my request.
00:05:53.000 You are violating the laws and policies of our company.
00:05:55.000 Deleted five seconds later.
00:05:57.000 And this is what, this is when we originally covered it with Charlie.
00:06:00.000 The story was ActBlue just purged their entire legal team in this big.
00:06:05.000 Nothing to see here move.
00:06:06.000 Sorry, we fired all of our lawyers at the largest left wing fundraising operation.
00:06:12.000 But get this.
00:06:13.000 So they delete it five seconds later.
00:06:15.000 It happened six times in one night.
00:06:18.000 He keeps flagging that this is a violation of laws.
00:06:20.000 It happened six times in one night.
00:06:23.000 And then he even sends ActBlue's own whistleblower protection policy.
00:06:28.000 Again, they deleted that.
00:06:31.000 Then the non retaliation policy deleted too.
00:06:36.000 So this is.
00:06:38.000 Why ActBlue's own outside counsel, a CEO, looked at this as knowing and willful obstruction and warned to get a personal lawyer.
00:06:49.000 She fired the law firm instead.
00:06:51.000 So the CEO of ActBlue at the time had an outside counsel that said this looked knowing and willful.
00:06:58.000 Instead of trying to get compliant, fixing the mistakes, she fired the law firm instead.
00:07:04.000 So every lawyer on ActBlue's legal team was gone within four months of the 2024 election.
00:07:10.000 So, this is the criminality that is rank criminality exposed within Act Blue, the chief fundraising arm of the entire Democrat apparatus.
00:07:20.000 And it's of a kind with other types of behavior on the left that we've worried about.
00:07:26.000 That there's a lot of stuff the left does in politics.
00:07:29.000 This is a particularly egregious case that seems just nakedly criminal.
00:07:32.000 But a lot of what they're doing is we know a ton of illegal stuff is going on here, and let's just deliberately avoid knowing what's really going on so that.
00:07:42.000 If it's happening illegally, we can get away with it.
00:07:44.000 I think the classic case of that is with ballot harvesting, for example.
00:07:48.000 There's so much room for fraud in there where people are filling out other people's ballots.
00:07:52.000 The whole game.
00:07:53.000 Faking signatures.
00:07:54.000 And if you just make it so they're not checking these things, you are allowing illegal behavior without being directly complicit in it.
00:08:02.000 Right.
00:08:02.000 And they do it all in the name of suffrage.
00:08:05.000 They want more and more people to participate in the political process, which on its face could be a noble goal.
00:08:13.000 But that's the whole point.
00:08:14.000 They create the rules so that they can exploit the rules and win the game.
00:08:18.000 That's the whole game.
00:08:19.000 Here he goes.
00:08:20.000 ActBlue.
00:08:20.000 This is James O'Keefe, if you guys remember this.
00:08:24.000 He went and tried to expose ActBlue a little while ago.
00:08:27.000 Sop 14.
00:08:28.000 The donations were a total of $16,000.
00:08:32.000 Does that sound about right?
00:08:35.000 No.
00:08:35.000 I'm not rich.
00:08:38.000 I don't give that kind of money.
00:08:40.000 Sure.
00:08:40.000 Any kind of money.
00:08:41.000 $12,000 in donations.
00:08:44.000 Does that sound right?
00:08:46.000 A lot of money, maybe?
00:08:47.000 Exactly.
00:08:50.000 You know, the wisdom of.
00:08:53.000 Everyday Americans is an amazing thing.
00:08:56.000 They get approached when they find out their name is on some big donor list for ActBlue and they say, Did you donate $16,000?
00:09:03.000 No, of course I didn't.
00:09:05.000 I'm not rich.
00:09:05.000 I don't have that kind of money.
00:09:07.000 And then they go, What another gentleman says, are they laundering money, maybe?
00:09:11.000 Yes, maybe.
00:09:13.000 Yes, maybe they are, in fact.
00:09:14.000 And another thing that we haven't even gotten time to get to here is that ActBlue, you know, that little number on the back of your card, the CVV number?
00:09:22.000 ActBlue didn't use that.
00:09:23.000 They're like the only entity in the universe that didn't ask for that.
00:09:26.000 Yes. 0.54
00:09:27.000 Which is patently and blatantly insane.
00:09:30.000 Again, they exploit the rules so that they can essentially do as much fraud as they want.
00:09:37.000 Welcome to the entire Democrat project, everybody.
00:09:39.000 This is why we have so much fraud rife in all of our systems, why we can't check people, why Democrat states don't want to check it, because it's political patronage.
00:09:47.000 You see, wherever you go inside the Democrat Party and its apparatus, there is fraud.
00:09:55.000 It is egregious, it is brazen.
00:09:58.000 They have learned that they controlled the levers of power, so they didn't worry about getting caught.
00:10:02.000 They didn't worry about consequences for their actions.
00:10:05.000 It's the advantage of everything you do being treated as charitably as possible, and you can treat everything the opposition does as hostilely as possible.
00:10:13.000 Exactly.
00:10:13.000 So the point is, it's all a rigged game, it's all fake.
00:10:16.000 We know this.
00:10:17.000 You know, this is fantastic.
00:10:21.000 So this is Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Assale says that the Trump administration is cutting off federal funding to homeless fraud in Los Angeles.
00:10:31.000 So, we've seen Somali fraud in Maine and Minnesota and Oregon and Ohio. 0.60
00:10:38.000 Massive, massive Somali fraud. 1.00
00:10:40.000 We've seen this, what is this? 0.87
00:10:42.000 This home health care worker fraud in New York.
00:10:45.000 It's the fastest growing profession in the world.
00:10:47.000 We've got another one with Luke Rosiak today.
00:10:49.000 Exactly.
00:10:50.000 So, we're going to be covering that more.
00:10:52.000 And they have their version.
00:10:54.000 So, I'm just going to play the clip, but this is what I mean.
00:10:57.000 Every single rock you turn over, the bugs scurry.
00:11:01.000 It's like the Democrat bugs scurry because they've been getting away with corruption for years.
00:11:09.000 So, you had another reason to vote Republican.
00:11:12.000 Because, listen, you might be upset about Iran.
00:11:14.000 We've covered this in great detail.
00:11:17.000 But you'd get none of this.
00:11:19.000 You get none of this fraud detection with Kamala in the White House.
00:11:23.000 In fact, it would have been on steroids.
00:11:26.000 Sad 11.
00:11:27.000 County up a little more than a percent, city of LA is 3.4%.
00:11:32.000 It's like Los Angeles is a magnet for the homeless in America's Southwest.
00:11:36.000 Well, because they enable it.
00:11:38.000 And, you know, their version of fighting homelessness is handing out needles and crackpipes, and they call it harm reduction.
00:11:44.000 And so it attracts the addicted, you know, it keeps the addiction going.
00:11:48.000 The policies here have failed.
00:11:50.000 Their measurement of success bill has been how much money they spend on homelessness, not how many people they get off the street.
00:11:56.000 That has changed.
00:11:57.000 The HUD secretary made that clear yesterday.
00:11:59.000 We're no longer funding the fraud.
00:12:00.000 We're going to fight the fraud.
00:12:02.000 We're going to fight the fraud.
00:12:05.000 That's exactly right.
00:12:05.000 So the point is, we've got to keep the momentum going.
00:12:09.000 Okay.
00:12:10.000 Yeah, we have two more years of President Trump in the White House, but we got to win the House.
00:12:14.000 We got to win.
00:12:15.000 The Senate.
00:12:16.000 And all of it is so critically important.
00:12:18.000 We get none of these wins, none of these wins if we bail on it.
00:12:21.000 And you got the horseshoe people linking arms with the left, the baby killers, the open border lobby, the anti white, anti Christian.
00:12:28.000 This is what we're up against.
00:12:30.000 These are existential threats.
00:12:31.000 We have to reject the horseshoe stuff, okay?
00:12:36.000 So, this, I mean, here's the thing.
00:12:40.000 Let's turn our attention for a moment because it's another side of the horseshoe debate.
00:12:45.000 It doesn't feel like it all the time because we call them establishment rhinos. 1.00
00:12:49.000 But if you go back to this Beau French tweet about after the Texas Longhorns beat Ohio State, and you see this crowd full of Indian students, and he says it's worse than we realized. 0.99
00:13:01.000 And everybody gets up in arms. 0.99
00:13:02.000 There's the tweet.
00:13:03.000 I don't know what the impressions are at now, but it's probably like 60 million.
00:13:07.000 60 plus million.
00:13:07.000 And I'm told that at UT Austin, this is what everybody's talking about this week.
00:13:11.000 They're having meetings about it, they're doing side combos.
00:13:15.000 It's a whole thing.
00:13:17.000 And meanwhile, you get John Cornyn, who was rejected.
00:13:22.000 In historic fashion, in Texas's Senate primary earlier this year, Ken Paxton is the nominee, of course. 0.66
00:13:28.000 So Texans rejected Cornyn because he's old, ineffectual, and he's a rhino.
00:13:33.000 He's a bend the knee Republican.
00:13:35.000 The exact kind of conservatism that we have rejected for many years on this show, but the Texans did it themselves in the primary.
00:13:43.000 And he retweeted Karl Rove's op ed in the Wall Street Journal, which read, Why I'm Voting?
00:13:49.000 Yeah, go ahead.
00:13:50.000 Why I'm Voting for a Texas Democrat?
00:13:53.000 Beau French's bigoted tweet after a football game is part of a long and ugly pattern.
00:14:00.000 Oh, a long and ugly pattern.
00:14:01.000 What's the long and ugly pattern of the liberal Democrats, Karl Rove?
00:14:04.000 Yeah. 0.83
00:14:05.000 And, Karl Rove, by the way, what's the long and ugly pattern of you cheerleading for warmongers and killing people and bombing foreign lands?
00:14:13.000 How about that long and ugly pattern?
00:14:16.000 Oh, but you're going to go target a conservative that's going to help control the oil industry in Texas.
00:14:22.000 You're going to hand over.
00:14:25.000 Your beloved oil industry to a lib.
00:14:29.000 Because that makes sense because he tweeted about too many Indian visa holders in America.
00:14:34.000 That's the key thing.
00:14:35.000 Like, you don't need to, you don't need to, like, agree 100% with every aspect of what Beau French said.
00:14:43.000 Like, that's fine.
00:14:43.000 You're allowed to say, he didn't phrase it the way I would.
00:14:45.000 We talked about that on the show. 1.00
00:14:47.000 But absolutely, what you cannot do is say, I am going to turn around and vote for the party of gay race communism, mutilating kids. 0.99
00:14:57.000 Open borders, overt socialism, defund the police, let homeless people live on your streets everywhere. 0.96
00:15:03.000 That is the reality of the Democratic Party right now.
00:15:06.000 The Democrats are the party that will wreck your state.
00:15:10.000 We know this because they have wrecked California, wrecked New York, wrecked Locusts. 0.97
00:15:15.000 They're locusts.
00:15:16.000 They go in and they ruin perfectly good things.
00:15:18.000 That's what they do.
00:15:20.000 They are a replacement ideology.
00:15:21.000 They want to replace the body politic, they want to replace the institutions, they want to replace the American dream with you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:15:29.000 You're going to live in a little mini house.
00:15:31.000 You're not going to own a car.
00:15:32.000 You're going to like rent a Tesla taxi, which, by the way, actually is kind of cool, but you should still be able to own your car if you want one.
00:15:39.000 This is what's crazy.
00:15:41.000 And now you get another turncoat.
00:15:43.000 So, not only John Cornyn and Karl Rove, and by the way, Karl Rove, how about the long and ugly pattern of your countrymen being replaced?
00:15:50.000 How about that?
00:15:51.000 Can you have an honest conversation about that?
00:15:53.000 No, you can't because you're too good for that. 1.00
00:15:56.000 You don't care about the welder or the HVAC guy or the IT professional that had to replace themselves with some foreign H 1B. 1.00
00:16:04.000 You don't care about them. 1.00
00:16:05.000 You just want to go to your rubber chicken dinners and get invited to the fancy parties.
00:16:09.000 That's what you want.
00:16:10.000 And you want to be able to go write your op ed in the Wall Street Journal and virtue signal like you're better than Beau French.
00:16:16.000 Screw that.
00:16:17.000 We're done with that.
00:16:19.000 How about this? 1.00
00:16:20.000 This is Representative Maria Salazar, who's a complete disappointment.
00:16:25.000 16.
00:16:26.000 Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far.
00:16:30.000 In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record.
00:16:35.000 Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy.
00:16:38.000 The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today. 0.96
00:16:43.000 You can be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. 0.62
00:16:47.000 I'm not talking about giving them amnesty.
00:16:49.000 I'm talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land.
00:16:53.000 I am Maria Elvira Salazar and I approve this message. 1.00
00:16:57.000 What a ridiculous, stupid ad. 1.00
00:16:59.000 Can we just break this down? 1.00
00:17:00.000 So, wait, you're talking.
00:17:01.000 Okay, so she's saying the same Hispanics that put you in the White House are mad that people that are illegal are getting deported because they haven't, you know, held somebody up at gunpoint.
00:17:13.000 Why?
00:17:14.000 So, were they voting?
00:17:16.000 Is that what you're trying to tell me?
00:17:17.000 Were illegals voting?
00:17:19.000 So, you're mad at President Trump for literally doing the very thing that he campaigned on mass deportations.
00:17:26.000 These turncoats, I'm sick of it.
00:17:30.000 I think Charlie once said, I'd rather have 300 brave, committed, onside people than a million people who will cower and run at the first problem.
00:17:41.000 Sunshine Patriots.
00:17:42.000 I'm going to read a tweet here.
00:17:43.000 I'm going to go quick.
00:17:45.000 The Heritage American debate is just about severing your connection to the American past.
00:17:50.000 It isn't just about that.
00:17:51.000 The more sinister idea is that what you do today carries no inheritance forward.
00:17:56.000 It's a beautiful tweet.
00:17:57.000 It's a very core idea.
00:18:01.000 Microplastics are becoming too much of a problem to ignore.
00:18:05.000 They're in 94% of U.S. drinking water, 94%, 90% of our meat and seafood, and the average American inhales, get this, 68,000 microplastic particles each and every single day.
00:18:19.000 The EPA recently decided not to include microplastics in the next nationwide drinking water.
00:18:26.000 Monitoring program, meaning we likely won't have updated data for years, even as microplastic exposure continues to rise.
00:18:33.000 Scientists have already found microplastics in our blood, our arteries, and even our brains.
00:18:38.000 The good news is that new research suggests there are ways to help your body fight back.
00:18:43.000 Certain probiotic strains found in kimchi have demonstrated the ability to not only remove toxins like BPA, new research is also exploring how these same beneficial bacteria help bind and excrete microplastics before they can do further damage to your body.
00:19:00.000 Kimchi is one of the world's most powerful superfoods, but its strong taste and smell can make daily use, daily intake a challenge.
00:19:08.000 I know it is for me.
00:19:09.000 Kimchi 1 gives you all the benefits of fermented kimchi in an easy to take capsule without the mess or hassle.
00:19:16.000 Each capsule delivers over 900 probiotic strains, live enzymes, and antioxidants that help restore and balance your gut.
00:19:24.000 People are seeing improvements in digestion, bloating, regularity, energy, and metabolism.
00:19:30.000 Studies show that kimchi can even reduce the risk of obesity by 30%.

00:20:02.000 Tom Fitton is the president of Judicial Watch.
00:20:05.000 He is a great American, a good friend, and he's been doing what I think is some critical work that nobody else seems to be doing, and that is.
00:20:14.000 Going directly to the state of Utah to get access to public documents at UVU and other places using, I guess, what's called grammar, which is basically like their state level of FOIA.
00:20:28.000 Grandma, grandma.
00:20:30.000 Tom, welcome back to the show.
00:20:32.000 You have a new article here at Judicial Watch.
00:20:34.000 Everybody should check it out.
00:20:36.000 And it's basically you're exposing this anti Charlie bias within the school apparatus at UVU.
00:20:42.000 Tell us what you found.
00:20:43.000 Yeah, thanks for having me.
00:20:44.000 We had asked for records about.
00:20:47.000 What was going on at the university and the immediate aftermath of Charlie's murder?
00:20:54.000 We had gotten records about the crazy quick pave over by the university of the murder scene.
00:21:04.000 And we subsequently just received documents showing communications with the president from various people about Charlie's death, including two, it's almost like two unnamed university professors or employees.
00:21:18.000 Who complained that the university was daring to celebrate Charlie?
00:21:24.000 One wrote that we must resist any effort to memorialize him or turn him into an icon.
00:21:31.000 There was nothing civil about him.
00:21:32.000 To memorialize him would be a grave mistake.
00:21:35.000 The other says, I guess there's a move to kind of have some sort of a memorial fund or movement on campus for him.
00:21:47.000 There's been a talk of a memorial for Charlie Kirk that will be placed on campus.
00:21:51.000 I ask that you resist their desire to desecrate our campus with a memorial to such a divisive and hateful public figure.
00:21:59.000 I fear you will lose many faculty members, including myself.
00:22:03.000 I would not work at a university that supports Charlie Kirk's ideals in any way.
00:22:10.000 So, you know, that's what, you know, Charlie walked into that day.
00:22:15.000 You know, was that belief widely shared on campus by other employees?
00:22:21.000 It's hard to tell because we only got a select number of records, and obviously we can't.
00:22:26.000 You know, investigate every official there about what they were doing or thought privately.
00:22:31.000 But, you know, they're concerning.
00:22:33.000 They're concerning that, and they show that our campuses are really sick in some ways, morally and ideologically, if this is the immediate reaction to Charlie's assassination on their campus.
00:22:50.000 Yeah, these emails made my jaw drop.
00:22:53.000 The level of vitriol and just moral decay that it, Utah, Right?
00:23:00.000 This isn't Massachusetts.
00:23:02.000 This isn't New York.
00:23:04.000 This isn't Wellesley.
00:23:06.000 This is a university, a state university in Utah.
00:23:10.000 I mean, listen to this.
00:23:11.000 Charlie Kirk appealed to the worst of us.
00:23:14.000 Wrong.
00:23:15.000 He spoke his prejudices openly.
00:23:17.000 Wrong.
00:23:18.000 Not to test free speech, but to shape minds. 0.98
00:23:21.000 That's garbage, but he did want to shape minds. 0.99
00:23:24.000 He targeted impressionable youth. 0.99
00:23:26.000 Well, what do you think you Democrats have been doing?
00:23:28.000 You progressives?
00:23:29.000 Why do you think you're in the career that you're in? 1.00
00:23:32.000 Hypocrite. 1.00
00:23:33.000 Feeding on their fears and anxieties. 1.00
00:23:36.000 Oh my gosh.
00:23:37.000 Okay, who made all of these kids scared to go outside, made them wear masks, afraid to have children because of climate change? 0.99
00:23:44.000 The hypocrisy here, Tom, is just, it's so rank and disgusting. 0.98
00:23:47.000 The hidden message in his rant is. 0.98
00:23:49.000 Go ahead, Tom.
00:23:50.000 Yeah.
00:23:50.000 And, Andrew, when you look at what, you know, because these leftist kids went up and confronted him.
00:23:57.000 And, you know, he had debates with them.
00:24:00.000 Now, you know, we may think they didn't really think, you know, they weren't thinking clearly, those kids.
00:24:05.000 They, their arguments were weak.
00:24:08.000 But it took Guts to go up and make a public presentation about their views and interact with Charlie.
00:24:15.000 And Charlie was doing them a favor by giving them that opportunity to make a public statement about their political views.
00:24:25.000 And that is training that is so valuable.
00:24:28.000 You know, who knows?
00:24:28.000 Maybe these kids will go on to be public speakers or, you know, communicate other ways.
00:24:34.000 Now, you know, we want them to kind of share our views in the long run.
00:24:37.000 But the point is, his activities were purely educational.
00:24:42.000 And probably more substantive in terms of training kids for the real world, both left and right, than a lot of what goes on on campus.
00:24:50.000 In terms of, you know, what goes on in a classroom usually has nothing to do with the real world.
00:24:55.000 But, you know, that type of communication back and forth, boy, that's experience you can't put a price on.
00:25:03.000 And the reaction of the left is what he's doing was morally outrageous.
00:25:08.000 And it's one thing to kind of debate him when he's alive.
00:25:12.000 He was murdered for doing this, and this is their reaction on that campus.
00:25:18.000 Well, Tom, in the next hour, we're going to have the two Rileys from the University of Utah, college Republicans, but we have their back, and it's public now.
00:25:29.000 We were trying to keep it kind of under the radar, but somebody basically shared it publicly, so it became public.
00:25:35.000 But Erica Kirk is personally ensuring that they have representation there because these students at the University of Utah were tabling.
00:25:43.000 And a girl walks up with a happy Kirkversary cake, mocking his death, normalizing assassination culture.
00:25:51.000 They videotape it and they put a picture of her on their social media.
00:25:54.000 It goes viral.
00:25:55.000 They didn't dox her.
00:25:56.000 They didn't name her.
00:25:58.000 I don't know that they even knew who it was.
00:25:59.000 They just found it to be disgusting.
00:26:01.000 So they posted.
00:26:02.000 This person came up to taunt them over Charlie's death.
00:26:06.000 And she posed for the picture.
00:26:07.000 And they make her the victim because when they publicize this, it's cyberbullying. 0.99
00:26:13.000 Yeah.
00:26:14.000 So basically, they are now.
00:26:16.000 At risk of being expelled from the University of Utah.
00:26:20.000 Again, a state school in a red state, and this is the kind of ideological rot that we have.
00:26:26.000 It's not the girls celebrating murder, Tom, that should be disciplined.
00:26:30.000 It's the two kids that took a picture of her celebrating murder.
00:26:34.000 They're the real villains here.
00:26:36.000 And this kind of moral inversion is exactly what we've come to expect from these state schools, even in the Mountain West, even in red states.
00:26:43.000 And what does that tell you, Tom, about just how deep the rot goes?
00:26:46.000 Well, I think most of higher education.
00:26:48.000 Most of higher education has been ideologically captured by the left.
00:26:53.000 And there's a good number of students who engage in this sort of outrageous behavior, like the cake student.
00:27:00.000 But institutionally, the colleges and universities are almost universally on the side of the left in these free speech debates.
00:27:13.000 And now, of course, there are exceptions, but to me, the exceptions prove the rule.
00:27:17.000 You know, parents should presume.
00:27:21.000 Absent extraordinary assurances, you're going to Hillsdale or something like that, that the campus ideologically is set up and structured in a way, whether it be in its teaching, course offerings, or whatever, to advance the left's agenda and to basically transform their children into left wing activists and advocates.
00:27:46.000 That's right.
00:27:48.000 And the bravery are the kids who go in.
00:27:51.000 And stand against it.
00:27:52.000 And frankly, it's just bravery just to go in and just not even say anything and just get through the day.
00:27:58.000 So even the kids who don't want to participate are being abused because the pressure is so enormous on them.
00:28:05.000 Yeah.
00:28:05.000 Well, I'm extraordinarily proud of it.
00:28:08.000 It's two, it's a guy and a girl.
00:28:10.000 They're both named Riley.
00:28:11.000 They spell it differently, but Riley and Riley.
00:28:15.000 Yeah.
00:28:16.000 They've been so brave.
00:28:17.000 And, you know, Erica made sure that they had representation.
00:28:20.000 They didn't have to worry about that.
00:28:21.000 He's very good, very connected.
00:28:24.000 Within that state.
00:28:25.000 And, you know, we're going to put the pressure on because if this happens, I mean, I know Harmeet Dillon is on the case.
00:28:29.000 She's also watching this play out.
00:28:33.000 Really quick here, Tom, we have about two minutes left.
00:28:36.000 I want to get back to this story that you sent me.
00:28:38.000 It looks like in July that you judicial watched.
00:28:41.000 So you released, you got documents on the cleanup of the site where Charlie was assassinated.
00:28:47.000 You and I were texting back and forth.
00:28:49.000 They're really hard to read, to be perfectly honest.
00:28:52.000 I don't care to read them here.
00:28:55.000 It just, It's just too, it's still too close to home.
00:28:58.000 You've been trying to follow up on who made the call for that site to be cleaned up so quickly.
00:29:06.000 Is there an update you can give us on that?
00:29:08.000 Yeah, we can't figure it out, at least in the documents they gave us.
00:29:11.000 By the way, we kind of had to fight for these records.
00:29:14.000 We asked for the records, and they pretended that our request was too broad and gave us all sorts of reasons not to give us the records.
00:29:22.000 And we appealed it.
00:29:24.000 And one of the Someone from the AG's office basically said, you know, Utah needs to turn, you know, UVU needs to turn over the material.
00:29:34.000 But we don't have, like, we've got the record showing, you know, that the paving took place, right?
00:29:41.000 But the directive to pave immediately kind of like they were literally waiting for the FBI to leave before they paved.
00:29:51.000 I mean, they were just standing by.
00:29:54.000 It's very strange.
00:29:55.000 And, you know, given the political statements that we saw in that other system, you know, The records we most recently received, the hostility, you know, maybe the desire not to have a memorial take, you know, kind of organically developed wasn't like a public safety issue.
00:30:13.000 It was more of a political issue.
00:30:16.000 I agree.
00:30:17.000 I tend to think that the motivation was to just make sure there wasn't some organic shrine that erupted there.
00:30:22.000 They wanted to clean and move on as quickly as possible.
00:30:25.000 But yeah, Tom, we're out of time here.
00:30:27.000 God bless you for doing the work of digging through these documents and making the requests.
00:30:32.000 You're a great patriot.
00:30:33.000 Thank you, Tom Fitt and Judicial Watch.
00:30:34.000 Support their work.
00:30:36.000 Thank you, guys.
00:30:36.000 One of the most important organizations in the country.
00:30:38.000 All right.
00:30:41.000 We started the whole show talking about Democrat fraud with Act Blue through these welfare programs. 0.64
00:30:47.000 They basically import all these immigrants, and then it's a political patronage system because they give them all these freebies to get them to vote for them, and they do vote in blocks. 0.66
00:30:56.000 Do you know basically the only group in the country that doesn't vote in a block is white people? 0.85
00:31:00.000 Hispanics, maybe.
00:31:02.000 Hispanics are a little bit less of a voting block, but they lean left. 0.95
00:31:07.000 They lean left.
00:31:08.000 I would say, not just vote like a block, but they'll actually swing back and forth.
00:31:11.000 So many groups just don't swing. 0.96
00:31:12.000 Nobody swings except for whites and Hispanics. 1.00
00:31:16.000 And we are doing better with blacks. 1.00
00:31:17.000 So, you know, there's hope there. 1.00
00:31:19.000 We've been talking about this Indian H 1B situation in Texas. 1.00
00:31:22.000 Indians vote pretty as a block. 1.00
00:31:25.000 Muslims definitely vote as a block. 1.00
00:31:27.000 But here's the deal. 1.00
00:31:28.000 So, this is the whole racket. 1.00
00:31:30.000 So, we import the third world, and then we pay for them to have more stuff than Americans get. 1.00
00:31:35.000 And then, guess what? 0.99
00:31:37.000 We get them to vote in blocks for Democrats.
00:31:39.000 They replace the body politic.
00:31:41.000 That's what their plan is in Texas.
00:31:42.000 That's why Beau French is up in arms.
00:31:44.000 That's why a lot of Texans are up in arms.
00:31:48.000 But.
00:31:49.000 The fraud continues on.
00:31:51.000 And we've been credibly told, Blake Neff, that we have the most secure elections in the world.
00:31:55.000 This is the most, 2020 was the most secure election ever.
00:31:58.000 There's no such thing as voter fraud.
00:32:00.000 We don't need voter ID.
00:32:01.000 We don't need the Save America Act. 1.00
00:32:03.000 That's just going to hurt married women and black people because they can't get voter ID, I guess. 0.99
00:32:08.000 They're, you know, it's the soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:32:13.000 But a new form of fraud has been exposed.
00:32:16.000 This is in Texas.
00:32:18.000 So, James Talrico, we're looking at you, buddy.
00:32:20.000 Do you know about these activities?
00:32:22.000 They are paying people not to vote.
00:32:25.000 This is a little technicality.
00:32:26.000 It's totally different.
00:32:27.000 It's totally different.
00:32:29.000 They're just paying them $25 to show up to a Zoom where they talk about how important it is to vote and how you can vote and everything.
00:32:37.000 It's not to.
00:32:38.000 We are paying people $25 to attend a one hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all these bad things.
00:32:52.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:32:54.000 So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.
00:32:59.000 It's called the Paid Relational Program.
00:33:01.000 I think Rally Texas is the official name.
00:33:03.000 You can't pay someone to vote for someone.
00:33:06.000 You can't be like, here's $25, go vote for me.
00:33:10.000 You can, say, attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25 and then the class just talks about the importance of it.
00:33:20.000 It's a little gritty.
00:33:23.000 But right now we could use all the help we need.
00:33:25.000 If I was a Republican, I would eat this.
00:33:27.000 I would be like, that's shady as hell.
00:33:30.000 At least he's honest about that.
00:33:33.000 The whole program is dishonest, but at least he's honest about this.
00:33:36.000 So, this is the problem.
00:33:37.000 And I'm not alleging that we don't have corruption and scandal on the right.
00:33:41.000 But fundamentally, the two worldviews that represent our body politic are progressivism and conservatism.
00:33:48.000 Progressive culture has jettisoned God out of their party platform, out of their Worldview out of their moral framework.
00:33:58.000 And when you jettison God, then you get to become the arbiter of what is good, what is wrong, what is right.
00:34:06.000 And when humans do this, it ends in disaster because ultimately humans are willing to rationalize any number of evils to achieve a political end.
00:34:15.000 We see this with assassination culture.
00:34:17.000 Assassination culture is justified by what, over 30% of young progressives, self described progressives, according to YouGov?
00:34:26.000 This was in the aftermath.
00:34:27.000 We've talked about it on the show a number of times.
00:34:29.000 The group most willing to rationalize and justify and normalize political assassination and political violence to achieve political ends is the political left.
00:34:40.000 And the younger they are, the more likely they are to do that.
00:34:42.000 This is why this story out of the University of Utah is so important.
00:34:46.000 They will do this because there is no God, because there is no higher power to them that they fear.
00:34:53.000 If you do not fear where you are going in the afterlife, you are not going to fear anything in this life.
00:34:58.000 You are going to rationalize anything to achieve your political end.
00:35:02.000 God is the great restraint on human sin.
00:35:07.000 If you do not fear God, you will not fear man.
00:35:10.000 You will not fear accountability in this life.
00:35:14.000 And this is the whole political project of the left.
00:35:18.000 So, this is why we see fraud.
00:35:20.000 This is why we see bending the rules.
00:35:22.000 This is why we see normalization of assassination culture.
00:35:24.000 This is why we see the dehumanization efforts that most of us find egregious, appalling, disgusting, vile, because they don't care.
00:35:33.000 The ends will justify the means every single time.
00:35:37.000 And I'm glad it's getting exposed.
00:35:39.000 Blake, we need to expose more, and we're going to focus on that in an hour, too.
00:35:43.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:35:44.000 It's.
00:35:47.000 What people struggle to grasp is sometimes people will say the left is like a religion, that you know it operates all like a religion, and that really almost understates it.
00:35:58.000 People just think, Oh, well, I believe in the Bible, and they just believe in leftism, but it's a religion in almost the way like it would be in the Middle Ages or it would be in an ancient tribe, it pervades the fervor and the way it pervades every aspect of your life.
00:36:15.000 Like, we, I mean.
00:36:17.000 Charlie sets us an example.
00:36:18.000 We should have Christian belief infuse all parts of our life.
00:36:21.000 But let's be frank for a lot of people, it's generally their moral code.
00:36:25.000 And then they go to church on Sunday and they're hopefully involved in their church in other ways.
00:36:30.000 But if you're, let's say, a Roman citizen, you have a religious festival every day of the week.
00:36:36.000 You're going out to the big public parts of your city to honor Jupiter and all of that.
00:36:41.000 And if you're on the left, that's what you're doing.
00:36:43.000 You're going to your march. 0.83
00:36:45.000 It's paganism. 0.92
00:36:46.000 It is really pagan in the sense it totally consumes your life. 0.55
00:36:49.000 And that's why they can be so insane about this.
00:36:51.000 This is not merely their ideology.
00:36:55.000 It's the all consuming part of their life.
00:36:58.000 Well, exactly.
00:36:58.000 Conservatives, we're building our church.
00:37:00.000 We're building our family.
00:37:01.000 We're building our business.
00:37:03.000 And we would like to think that the state will function as it should and do the right thing.
00:37:07.000 But the problem is, the more godless our country becomes, the more deranged and out of touch with God that the left becomes, it means that it is incumbent on us to inject more and more of our values into the system, which is why sitting out, Staying away, opting out, nihilism is completely forbidden on this show.
00:37:29.000 We must fight for the future of this country.
00:37:34.000 Allow me to ask you a quick question.
00:37:35.000 When was the last time, if ever, you got a second opinion on your mortgage?
00:37:40.000 Or if you're renting, have you ever wondered if owning a home might actually be more within reach than you think?
00:37:45.000 The truth is, a lot has changed over the last few years.
00:37:48.000 Home values have changed, interest rates have changed, lending programs have changed, even your financial goals have probably changed.
00:37:54.000 What made sense then may not be the best option today.
00:37:57.000 Here's what I see all the time homeowners, they often assume their current mortgage is the best they can do, while renters, they assume home ownership is just out of reach.
00:38:06.000 In many cases, neither is true.
00:38:08.000 That's why I recommend wholeheartedly talking to Andrew and Todd at Annie Mack Mortgage.
00:38:13.000 If you already own a home, they'll provide a complimentary mortgage review to see if there's opportunities to lower your payment, eliminate mortgage insurance, consolidate debt, access equity, shorten your loan term, or simply determine whether staying in exactly where you are is the smartest move.
00:38:29.000 If you're renting, they'll help you understand what it really takes to become a homeowner.
00:38:33.000 You may be surprised to learn that buying a home could be more affordable than you think.
00:38:36.000 They'll explain the programs available, answer any questions you have, and guide you every step of the way.
00:38:40.000 No pressure, no obligation, no sales pitch, just honest advice tailored to your goals.
00:38:45.000 Visit Andrew and Todd.com to schedule your complimentary review or call 888 888 1172.
00:38:53.000 That's 888 888 1172.

00:39:02.000 We've been telling you about this story out of the University of Utah for, well, we started yesterday actually, because I only found out about it, I guess, Tuesday late at night.
00:39:12.000 But it had already gone viral at that point.
00:39:13.000 Somehow I missed it.
00:39:14.000 But we were very intrigued and very concerned about the state of the future academic prospects of two of the college Republicans on that campus because they have been made and turned into the villains of this story when they did nothing wrong, first and foremost.
00:39:30.000 And candidly, they were victims.
00:39:33.000 I don't really love that word for a lot of reasons, but in general, they were the ones exposed to this egregious act of celebrating Charlie's assassination, and they stood up for Charlie.
00:39:43.000 They have stood up every step of the way, and we are totally proud of them.
00:39:47.000 We have their back 100%.
00:39:50.000 And we're going to talk about it with them directly.
00:39:52.000 And that is Riley Barnes, Vice President of College Republicans at the University of Utah, and Riley Beasley.
00:39:58.000 Yes, two Rileys, spelled differently.
00:40:00.000 One's a boy, one's a girl.
00:40:01.000 The chair of the Utah College Republicans.
00:40:04.000 College Republicans.
00:40:05.000 Riley and Riley, welcome to the show.
00:40:07.000 We're glad to have you and God bless both of you.
00:40:10.000 I just want to start there.
00:40:11.000 You guys have handled yourselves, I think, remarkably well under extraordinarily, I guess, a lot of attention that you're probably not used to.
00:40:22.000 And so I just want to say kudos to both of you.
00:40:25.000 You've handled yourself brilliantly and we're proud of you.
00:40:28.000 So welcome to the show.
00:40:29.000 Thank you, Andrew.
00:40:30.000 It's great.
00:40:30.000 Thank you for having us.
00:40:31.000 Well, thank you for coming.
00:40:33.000 Now, Riley and Riley, Barnes is, and Ryan Beasley is the gentleman here, and Riley Barnes is the blonde lady down in the lower right hand corner.
00:40:46.000 I say that because you sort of market yourself that way. 0.77
00:40:49.000 We should say Rye with a Y. There you go.
00:40:51.000 That's the girl.
00:40:52.000 I don't know.
00:40:52.000 That confuses me further.
00:40:53.000 All right, Riley Barnes.
00:40:54.000 Okay, so I believe you were the one that put up the original image of this Sarah Gout.
00:41:00.000 You didn't mention the name, the internet figured it out because it went viral.
00:41:05.000 Tell us about the original moment.
00:41:06.000 What happened?
00:41:08.000 Just fill our audience in.
00:41:09.000 Yeah, of course.
00:41:10.000 So we're out tabling, trying to get the memorial for Charlie Kirk down at UVU, just 45 minutes away from U of U. We're promoting it, trying to get students up here involved, and actually getting carpools for students up here to go down there as well.
00:41:27.000 We had a whiteboard that stated, Did you think that Charlie Kirk deserved to get murdered?
00:41:33.000 We had 12 tallies saying yes, and a lot of tallies saying no.
00:41:36.000 But this girl came up with her cake and she laughed at our board and said, I think my cake is pretty funny.
00:41:42.000 When we asked her to remove the lid, she removes the lid and then we see that says, Happy Kirk Aversary.
00:41:50.000 We then tell her that we're going to take a photo of it and then she stood there for 10 minutes and started posing.
00:41:56.000 So then you took this picture that we see right there.
00:41:59.000 You posted it on your ex account and I think it's at what, 6 million engagement, 6 point something?
00:42:06.000 What was her post for the photo?
00:42:09.000 But what was her tone?
00:42:10.000 Did it seem very mocking?
00:42:13.000 I'm trying to get an image in my head of how she was behaving.
00:42:16.000 Yeah, I mean, I think she was just trying to be funny and trying to mock the death of Charlie Kirk.
00:42:20.000 And we found it very vile and disgusting.
00:42:23.000 And we knew that we needed to show fellow Utahs, alumni, and honestly, just everyone who knows this campus what is happening with conservative students.
00:42:33.000 So, Riley Beasley, you are the chair.
00:42:38.000 Were you at this tabling event or did you come in later?
00:42:42.000 And then, what has been your reaction to the backlash on campus?
00:42:48.000 Yeah, that's a great question.
00:42:49.000 My timeline doesn't come in directly being there.
00:42:52.000 I wasn't there on September 10th, 2026.
00:42:56.000 But I come into this on the digital scene where you see kind of the repercussions coming from us levied from the University of Utah and what we would see kind of in the virality aspect of this story with it being posted online.
00:43:13.000 We're being alleged from the University of Utah right now that we've committed doxing towards students at the University of Utah.
00:43:22.000 Yeah, this is the part that's upsetting.
00:43:24.000 I think so many people there, and there's many aspects of this story that are upsetting.
00:43:29.000 So, it's hard to wrap your brain around it if you're a common sense American, which is most of our audience.
00:43:35.000 But you guys posted this, she posed, she taunted, she mocked, she was very proud of her cake.
00:43:40.000 So, you posted it, you didn't name her, it goes viral.
00:43:45.000 And then, you guys are now the villains of this story because you doxed, harassed, threatened, intimidated.
00:43:51.000 I guess.
00:43:52.000 Then, it was supposed to be Wednesday morning, am I right, that you were going to be dragged before a disciplinary hearing.
00:43:58.000 With the office of the dean's office.
00:44:03.000 And that got canceled, unforeseen circumstances, which, let's be honest, was probably a lot of social media backlash to hearing that you guys were going to be facing this moment, this disciplinary hearing.
00:44:14.000 Are you still facing this?
00:44:16.000 Is this still something that could happen?
00:44:17.000 You guys could be disciplined or expelled?
00:44:20.000 This is something that's ongoing right now.
00:44:22.000 And we're hopeful to have updates here.
00:44:26.000 It would make sense.
00:44:28.000 Done right.
00:44:29.000 The University of Utah, I hope, has some common sense in them and isn't in the business of expelling students for their freedom of speech or holding consequences for us doing nothing more than highlighting the fact that students at their university are celebrating murder.
00:44:44.000 Yeah, well, so this is interesting.
00:44:46.000 So Taylor Hansen is part of our TPSA front lines team and he's been on the ground covering this.
00:44:51.000 I know you guys have probably interacted with him.
00:44:53.000 This is a really fascinating thing that happened.
00:44:55.000 There's all kinds of little twists and turns here.
00:44:57.000 So there is a This is you, Riley, speaking to the student who sent messages in a leaked protest group chat about knowing your schedules.
00:45:08.000 They knew which classes you had.
00:45:09.000 Like, they're doing surveillance on you at this campus.
00:45:12.000 SOT 17.
00:45:13.000 I have, once again, I walk in the library and I'm like, I've seen you guys and I'm like, you know what?
00:45:21.000 It's nice to see, like, you know, my fellow students.
00:45:25.000 On a Wednesday?
00:45:25.000 On a Wednesday?
00:45:26.000 On a Wednesday?
00:45:26.000 Well, once again, I just knew, like, you know, last week and stuff.
00:45:30.000 Because Wednesday is just like what the cold week and stuff.
00:45:32.000 There are people that know that I also don't have class right now as well.
00:45:35.000 So that is basically it.
00:45:37.000 When you said this, though.
00:45:38.000 Don't ask me how I know.
00:45:40.000 Don't ask me how I know this.
00:45:41.000 Because that just ugly me from that.
00:45:42.000 You should probably do that.
00:45:43.000 You okay?
00:45:43.000 It's okay.
00:45:44.000 The face will look intimate.
00:45:46.000 Okay.
00:45:48.000 All right.
00:45:50.000 Okay, so this person posts your school and class schedule.
00:45:53.000 Don't ask me how I know.
00:45:55.000 You confront him.
00:45:56.000 And by the way, I love it.
00:45:57.000 You're doing it all with a smile.
00:45:58.000 Happy warrior.
00:45:59.000 Charlie, be so proud.
00:46:01.000 And he goes, Oh, well, you know, some people know when I'm in class and not in class.
00:46:05.000 And you rightly go, Well, why are you saying don't ask me how I know?
00:46:08.000 It's like the amount of threats, the amount of attention that is being just focused on you guys when the girl, Cake Girl, is the one that started this posing for a picture.
00:46:20.000 This is terrifying stuff.
00:46:21.000 Do you guys, who was this person?
00:46:24.000 Do you know who this individual was?
00:46:26.000 And you don't have to say names or anything, but what's their connection to this?
00:46:30.000 Yeah, so they're a student at the University of Utah and he is part of ASUU, as far as we know.
00:46:37.000 They're, um, He got access to our schedules somehow, some way.
00:46:43.000 We're still having the police investigate into it because we have no idea how he did this.
00:46:47.000 And this is definitely a violation of privacy.
00:46:50.000 We're going to make sure that this comes out to the Dean of Students as well to get this handled.
00:46:55.000 Man.
00:46:56.000 And you guys have experienced death threats, which are egregious, that we have emails of people saying you should get shot, like Charlie Kirk.
00:47:06.000 I hope people understand these are the front lines in the fight for freedom in this country.
00:47:09.000 These students are brave, brave, brave people, and they deserve your respect and your support.
00:47:15.000 And we have your back 100%.
00:47:17.000 Blake, what are some of these threats that you're seeing?
00:47:19.000 We were just looking at some of the threats you guys have received, and I've got to say, I have.
00:47:23.000 So much admiration for how cheerful and upbeat you guys have been because these are very ominous.
00:47:29.000 We've got this email someone sent.
00:47:31.000 Hello, Riley. 0.88
00:47:32.000 We have seen your Twitter posts harassing college students. 0.99
00:47:35.000 It would be a shame if someone shoots you up like Kirky. 1.00
00:47:38.000 Tread carefully, white trash. 1.00
00:47:40.000 We have the people on X. LOL. 1.00
00:47:42.000 You're going to get it.
00:47:44.000 FAFO.
00:47:45.000 Just like Charlie did. 1.00
00:47:46.000 We have someone, this Ashley S. Protect your necks. 0.99
00:47:50.000 If you know, you know. 0.99
00:47:52.000 Laughing face.
00:47:54.000 On Instagram. 0.96
00:47:55.000 I think we should start treating you like said Nazi.
00:48:00.000 And I'm very, like I said, I'm very admiring you. 0.70
00:48:02.000 Just reply, oh, is that a threat?
00:48:04.000 I'll send that one to the school too.
00:48:05.000 Just not getting in.
00:48:07.000 Well, and then all these people want Nazi, and yes, it is a threat.
00:48:10.000 Yes, it is a threat.
00:48:11.000 And all these people want to do, some may dream of harming you, but the ones who don't, they at least want to throw you guys off.
00:48:19.000 They want to make you miserable.
00:48:20.000 They want to make you upset.
00:48:22.000 So we're very much admiring you guys for holding firm.
00:48:25.000 But how does this fit into.
00:48:28.000 The overall climate on campus, if someone's not a college student today, how aggressive, how militant are the people who are holding these views on campus, and how much impunity do they think they can act with?
00:48:40.000 Yeah, one thing is evidently clear is that we're observing patterns where those on the left find it comical to make threats they've normalized on campus, silencing the opposing political view, and they're avoiding accountability, like you said, and in this instance, glorifying murder.
00:48:57.000 Earlier in the year, In January, we had another student who was arrested at the University of Utah who, as we were out doing campus debates, said he was going to Kirk us as he motioned with his arm a rifle being shot towards us.
00:49:13.000 Police were there, they saw it, they witnessed it, and they immediately apprehended him.
00:49:17.000 This is something that you're seeing at the University of Utah where they're allowing these ideologies to fester with students and they do nothing to call it out or stop it.
00:49:24.000 And in my opinion, this has got to end.
00:49:27.000 It's getting too far when people are making threats like this.
00:49:30.000 Riley Barnes, so a lot of these have been directed at you.
00:49:34.000 There's this, I don't know what this is from, 164, but it's like BYU, there's a swear word, actually.
00:49:40.000 Don't throw it up.
00:49:41.000 F. Riley Barnes, horrible representation for the university, which I cherish. 1.00
00:49:45.000 Get that blonde out of here. 1.00
00:49:49.000 Blank this blank. 1.00
00:49:51.000 A petition asking Riley to shut it.
00:49:53.000 Yes, please.
00:49:54.000 No more hate speech on shared school insta story.
00:49:57.000 So, you know, it's like over and over and over again.
00:50:02.000 And then Blake read many of these actual threats.
00:50:05.000 So, this is what I am just scratching my head at and wondering if the red state of Utah is going to take action.
00:50:13.000 Do we know if any of these people that have issued threats at you are actual students and in the student body?
00:50:19.000 Because I'm pretty sure the same clause that they're trying to get you guys on intimidation, doxing, threatening, and all this stuff all of these people should be expelled immediately.
00:50:28.000 That's not free speech.
00:50:29.000 That is threatening you personally.
00:50:32.000 No, you're absolutely correct.
00:50:33.000 I've been.
00:50:34.000 Working alongside campus police, sending them these threats that I've gotten.
00:50:38.000 And unfortunately, nothing has happened quite yet, but I trust their judgment.
00:50:41.000 I trust that they are investigating into these individuals.
00:50:44.000 But as you see on that story of them calling me a Nazi and saying that it was a threat, that is a student.
00:50:52.000 And that's not the only one that I've gotten from students.
00:50:55.000 There's been multiple.
00:50:56.000 These students on the University of Utah just, they really don't support freedom of speech unless it's their speech.
00:51:02.000 And that's the biggest issue here.
00:51:03.000 I totally agree.
00:51:05.000 I don't want this to all be negative because it's not all negative.
00:51:08.000 It's just the moral inversion of this whole story, I think, has people rightly frustrated.
00:51:13.000 You had this from.
00:51:14.000 Harmite Dillon, 163.
00:51:17.000 So, this is, I guess, a response to the University of Utah College Republicans posted.
00:51:23.000 And she goes, Utah, WTH is going on over there.
00:51:27.000 And I think we're all kind of wondering the same thing.
00:51:29.000 What is going on in the state of Utah?
00:51:32.000 By the way, you know what's interesting is Charlie tweeted out just before the UVU event, there was like all these controversial headlines like Charlie Kirk coming to campus and everybody's up in arms.
00:51:43.000 And he tweeted out, What's going on in Utah?
00:51:46.000 Folks, what is going on in Utah?
00:51:49.000 But there's been a lot of love too, and that's what I want to focus on.
00:51:52.000 So, you guys have had an outpouring of support nationally.
00:51:56.000 Tell us about that.
00:51:56.000 Like, who's come around you, and what's that feel like to know that this moment that you guys are living in in such a personal way has reached national attention?
00:52:06.000 Yeah, to me, the support has been great, and we're very fortunate for you, Andrew, and Blake, and Tyler Boyer, and of course, Miss Erica Kirk as well, and her support in this matter, and one amplifying our message.
00:52:18.000 Getting the word out there so more can come and support us, but also in helping us retain legal and attorneys.
00:52:26.000 Without that, going into these meetings, had they not been canceled alone, we probably would have been crushed by the University of Utah.
00:52:33.000 What they're alleging is criminal.
00:52:35.000 And without the proper support that you guys have been very willing to give us and which we're very grateful for, I don't know what would be happening to us right now.
00:52:46.000 Yeah.
00:52:46.000 Riley Barnes?
00:52:47.000 Yeah, I truly don't.
00:52:49.000 There's no words to even express how grateful I am for the amount of support that me and Riley Beasley have received on every single level from TPUSA to the attorneys that Erica has been so kindly to pay for, and for all of these news outlets, including you guys, to let us tell our story about what happened.
00:53:10.000 Yeah, well, it's because we care about you guys and we know that what you're going through is a complete injustice, the moral inversion, and the The rot that is so pervasive on college campuses.
00:53:22.000 And this is the part people have to understand.
00:53:25.000 This isn't Massachusetts.
00:53:27.000 This isn't New York.
00:53:28.000 This isn't Manhattan.
00:53:29.000 This isn't LA.
00:53:32.000 This is like, you know, the outskirts of Salt Lake City.
00:53:35.000 I mean, you do this, but I feel like that's something that's caused us exasperation for years at this point. 0.99
00:53:42.000 It's what we see when the governor waffles on transgender policy, when they waffle on immigration and guest workers. 0.99
00:53:50.000 It's. 1.00
00:53:52.000 It's a waffly state, unfortunately.
00:53:53.000 Yeah, and yet it's also a state that produces patriots like Mike Lee, that we love, and he's a friend of the show.
00:54:01.000 And I know he's got your back.
00:54:02.000 He's chimed in on this as well.
00:54:03.000 And it's a state with a lot of great patriots, a lot of great values, and produces people like you.
00:54:10.000 And that's what we're fighting for to protect that a state that is beautiful, that has beautiful patriots and proud patriots, is allowed to stay that way.
00:54:21.000 And that these crazy ideologies, and by the way, we had Tom Fitton on.
00:54:25.000 Last hour, and he's exposed emails out of UVU in the immediate aftermath of Charlie's assassination of these professors and staff people at UVU, you know, fighting against a memorial on campus and just complete anti conservative bias there, anti Charlie bias. 0.56
00:54:42.000 It's just disgusting.
00:54:42.000 I think it's opening a lot of eyes, and you guys are helping make that happen.
00:54:47.000 So kudos again to you guys.
00:54:49.000 We're proud of you.
00:54:49.000 We have your back.
00:54:50.000 And let us know if you need anything.
00:54:52.000 We're here to help, okay?
00:54:53.000 Hang in there.
00:54:54.000 Thank you.
00:54:54.000 Thank you.
00:54:55.000 All right.
00:54:55.000 God bless you.
00:54:56.000 I was going to say, our emails, all of them as well.
00:54:58.000 Yes, sir.
00:54:58.000 You are loved.
00:54:59.000 By the way, pick your fighter.
00:55:01.000 You want the girl with, you want Cake Girl, or you want these two kids representing your country? 1.00
00:55:06.000 I'll take these two kids any day.
00:55:10.000 Before he ever stepped onto a debate stage or behind a microphone, Charlie understood something really important that if you want to lead, you first have to learn.
00:55:19.000 Charlie believed that ideas shape character, conviction, and courage.
00:55:23.000 That's why he spent years studying the classics, the American founding, and the Bible through Hillsdale College's.
00:55:28.000 Free online courses.
00:55:29.000 He would rave about these courses all the time.
00:55:32.000 These free online courses are taught by Hillsdale College professors and draw from the same great books and enduring ideas studied on Hillsdale's campus.
00:55:40.000 Hillsdale's newest free online course is the Iliad, where Professor Stephen Smith guides students through Homer's great epic of honor, courage, friendship, leadership, and the pursuit of true greatness.
00:55:51.000 For nearly 3,000 years, the Iliad has shaped the Western imagination.
00:55:55.000 It tells the story of Achilles as he confronts injustice, rage, grief, responsibility, and the terrible costs of war.
00:56:01.000 But Homer's epic is more than a story of ancient battles.
00:56:04.000 It raises enduring questions about courage, duty, leadership, sacrifice, and self command.
00:56:10.000 Achilles is the greatest warrior among the Greeks, but Homer asks whether strength alone is enough to make a man truly great.
00:56:16.000 In this new free online course, you'll follow Achilles through the defining trials of his life and discover why one of the greatest works of Western literature still speaks to the permanent questions of human life.
00:56:27.000 Charlie understood that learning isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's about forming the mind and character needed to face the challenges of life.
00:56:34.000 With wisdom and courage, you can enroll today completely free and take this class or their 40 plus other free online courses.
00:56:42.000 Just visit charlieforhillsdale.com to start learning today.
00:56:45.000 That's charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:56:47.000 Learn deeply, think clearly, lead boldly, and carry it forward just like Charlie.
00:56:55.000 All right, without further ado, let's bring in Luke Rosiak from the Daily Wire.
00:56:59.000 Luke, Blake flagged this for me, so I'm going to let Blake kind of run the show here, but I will just let me just say, I'm very upset.
00:57:07.000 To learn about what you've uncovered.
00:57:09.000 Exactly.
00:57:10.000 Luke, thank you for joining us. 1.00
00:57:13.000 This goes back to one of the big stories of last year, which is the scale, the scope of Somali fraud, just the random third world communities we've let into our country that rip us off because they're very insular, they're able to work together, they're able to run a bunch of hustles that rely on exploiting systems that were just not designed for this level of asabiya among immigrant groups. 0.99
00:57:38.000 But so, Luke, If I understand this right, we have the children of a foreign dictator warlord who is implicated in literal genocide running Medicaid scams in Columbus, Ohio. 1.00
00:57:51.000 Do I have that right?
00:57:52.000 Unfortunately, you do, Blake.
00:57:54.000 I was on your show about six months ago talking about how I went to Columbus, Ohio and I went to these buildings, this whole street in the Somali area of town, where there's like seven buildings that just have hundreds of companies in them, nothing but home healthcare companies.
00:58:10.000 You know, this one building had like 80 companies billing $80 million.
00:58:15.000 And they all purport to give what I call free butlers for Somalis, which is somebody says they're sick, they're poor, they don't pay taxes, they're on Medicaid, and they say they have some health problem.
00:58:27.000 And the solution is we get you, the individual, get to choose what company the government will pay to send a servant to your house and cook and clean for you.
00:58:36.000 Now, that servant can be your friend or family member, so nobody knows whether you actually are there or not, or whether you actually really need it or not.
00:58:44.000 So we talked about some of those companies you've got on the screen now.
00:58:47.000 And I heard rumors about one thing that now is confirmed. 0.98
00:58:50.000 One of those owners is the son and the right hand man of the regime of Mohammed Saeed Bar, who genocided hundreds of thousands of people in Somalia, which is basically the reason we agreed to take them in as refugees. 0.94
00:59:08.000 We said, you can't live in Somalia. 0.84
00:59:09.000 It's not safe because you've got this crazy dictator here. 0.98
00:59:12.000 You can all come to America. 0.85
00:59:14.000 Well, we didn't differentiate between the people that were the victims of that. 1.00
00:59:18.000 And the people that actually made Somalia so bad, we brought them in too. 0.97
00:59:22.000 Not only that, we paid his daughter $1.8 million in Medicaid money just in the timeframe that the data has been released. 0.96
00:59:30.000 We don't know how much his son got.
00:59:32.000 He's got the son, the one in the company in the building that you just had a picture of.
00:59:36.000 But the data doesn't capture that dollar amount because of the timeframe.
00:59:41.000 But it's millions of dollars. 0.77
00:59:43.000 And every time you see a Somali, they seem to have one of these Medicaid companies. 1.00
00:59:47.000 The president of the United Nations Security Council has a Medicaid company. 0.99
00:59:53.000 In Somalia, and he's the head of the UN ambassador in Somalia.
00:59:57.000 Now he's the top guy in the UN.
00:59:59.000 He's literally a Somali official, but somehow he's got one of these companies in Ohio.
01:00:04.000 It's just billing Medicaid. 0.84
01:00:05.000 Wow, yeah.
01:00:06.000 So it's like the father, the right hand man, incorporated Somal Global Services, which registered with Medicaid as a home healthcare company in 2011.
01:00:13.000 His daughter incorporated Vanguard Home Healthcare in 2007, lists her husband as administrator.
01:00:20.000 It's just one.
01:00:22.000 Yeah, Luke, let me make sure I've got this right. 0.76
01:00:25.000 So, a genocidal maniac ruins Somalia, or at least further ruins Somalia. 1.00
01:00:31.000 And instead of, you know, so that's the excuse for why we need to take all these Somalis. 1.00
01:00:36.000 So, they ruined Somalia. 1.00
01:00:37.000 So, we let the same people that ruined Somalia into Ohio to then fleece off the government. 0.98
01:00:43.000 That's what we've done here, right? 1.00
01:00:45.000 Just a completely suckered thing.
01:00:46.000 Exactly.
01:00:47.000 We can't differentiate. 1.00
01:00:48.000 When we let these foreigners in, we have no way to differentiate who ruined the country and who's the victim. 0.99
01:00:54.000 Ilhan Omar herself, her dad was a colonel. 1.00
01:00:57.000 In the army of Saeed Bar.
01:00:59.000 And when they left the country, it was because basically they worked for this genocidal dictator and the people rose up and overthrew him.
01:01:07.000 And so they were cast out of the country. 0.80
01:01:10.000 So she's a refugee in one sense, but sort of in the opposite of the way that she'd have you believe.
01:01:15.000 I mean, this was a communist dictator that the people didn't want anymore. 0.78
01:01:18.000 This gives like new meaning to the expression invite the third world, become the third world.
01:01:24.000 Like this is what we are doing. 1.00
01:01:26.000 So they ruined their own country.
01:01:29.000 And we're surprised that they're ripping us off to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars. 0.97
01:01:35.000 Like, what suckers are we? 1.00
01:01:38.000 I just cannot get over how dumb we are. 0.99
01:01:40.000 So, as an example, describe this thing that you highlighted where it appears basically. 0.97
01:01:46.000 So, for example, these scammers will be caught committing Medicaid fraud millions of dollars.
01:01:53.000 And so they'll just create a new company that's linked and they'll just have their sibling do the exact same fraud.
01:01:59.000 And that can then run for months, years, forever.
01:02:02.000 Yeah, that's what I saw again and again.
01:02:04.000 And Senator Joni Ernst actually introduced a bill called the, what is it called?
01:02:10.000 The no compensation for the kin of fraudsters act, something like that, to stop it.
01:02:17.000 And then Patrick Hoff from Baltimore's TV station had a great story today about exactly that.
01:02:23.000 Somebody got caught billing $70 million.
01:02:26.000 Somebody got caught, went to prison for Medicaid fraud.
01:02:29.000 And then their brother starts a company and he's paid $70 million.
01:02:32.000 And the government is like, well, technically, you weren't the person that did it.
01:02:36.000 It's a different name, but it's obviously probably the person just using their family member.
01:02:42.000 As a proxy. 1.00
01:02:44.000 And this is what I think the Somalis are, they just do.
01:02:48.000 It comes as naturally as breathing to them.
01:02:50.000 They constantly put things in other people's names.
01:02:53.000 Yeah, and this is, you know, I will say, Ilhan Omar has always given off like warlord vibes.
01:02:59.000 And then to find out that her dad was a colonel in this dude's military apparatus that ruined and genocided a whole family.
01:03:07.000 They were refugees because they had to flee the people angry for the war crimes her dad perpetrated.
01:03:12.000 Or was implicated.
01:03:13.000 What a heck of a. 1.00
01:03:15.000 And then she gets elected to Congress in the United States. 1.00
01:03:18.000 Man.
01:03:19.000 Yeah, I mean, there was a.
01:03:20.000 Let me get out there, actually.
01:03:22.000 One sec, Luke.
01:03:22.000 I want to know what our audience is, because this stuff just enrages me.
01:03:26.000 Because it's so common sense.
01:03:28.000 Like, we shouldn't. 0.90
01:03:29.000 You know, honestly, our generosity should not be extended to the daughters of warlords and colonels of genocidal maniacs.
01:03:39.000 I just, that's just what I believe in.
01:03:41.000 It's my free speech.
01:03:42.000 I'm allowed to think this, but what do you guys think?
01:03:44.000 Send us an email.
01:03:45.000 Are you as ticked off to hear about this as I am?
01:03:48.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:03:51.000 Blake is monitoring those.
01:03:52.000 Go ahead, Luke. 0.89
01:03:53.000 Well, you know, we can have some of these programs or we can have immigration from low trust societies, but we can't have both. 0.96
01:03:59.000 And what I'd like to see is that pose to the voters and let the Democrats decide you can have Somalis or you can have these Medicaid programs that will pay out millions of dollars just based on the assumption that you're not lying. 0.99
01:04:11.000 But we can't afford. 0.54
01:04:13.000 To pay people millions of dollars based on nothing but trust. 0.91
01:04:16.000 And if you get an old Somali person who's like 65 and they go to a Somali doctor and says, Yes, sure, your back hurts. 0.93
01:04:22.000 And then they go to a third Somali who says, Well, your job is to pretend to go to her house, and all of them are corrupt, you can get a ton of money. 0.96
01:04:30.000 And it just, we have to be honest about that. 0.99
01:04:32.000 I mean, this culture seems to, deception seems to come naturally to them.
01:04:36.000 There is an Ohio state representative that's also based in the building with all these home healthcare companies.
01:04:43.000 And he was sued yesterday.
01:04:46.000 For lying about his residency.
01:04:48.000 Apparently, he doesn't really live in the district, or so the lawsuit says.
01:04:51.000 They went to serve him at a different house, and it turns out that he's living there.
01:04:54.000 And so these are programs that we've had for a long time on the books, but they were marginal.
01:04:59.000 It didn't cost much money at all.
01:05:00.000 And what happened is just like you saw the number of autistic kids skyrocket like, you know, 10,000 fold in Minnesota, you saw so many more people claiming to be really sick and need a servant to come wait on them at home. 0.96
01:05:13.000 And it just comes down to the Somalis. 0.99
01:05:16.000 To be honest, they're not as honest as us. 1.00
01:05:18.000 And so I think that's what's on the table here.
01:05:21.000 We can't keep doing this home health care program if these are the kind of people that we have in the country, because clearly we can't stop the fraud.
01:05:29.000 We can't even stop the children of genocidal dictators from doing it.
01:05:34.000 It just occurs to me how our system is clearly not built, and thanks to the left, not even trying to be built to handle an entire large group of people that just collectively.
01:05:47.000 Don't see a problem with lying to the government. 1.00
01:05:50.000 Oh, and if I hear one more liberal say, Oh, immigrants commit less crime than Americans, I don't know what I'm going to do because there are so many examples of this rife fraud in the system from newcomers from the third world. 1.00
01:06:05.000 And I'm sorry, but if you come from a crappy country, guess what? 0.99
01:06:09.000 It's probably populated by crappy people that have values that are incompatible with ours. 0.96
01:06:13.000 We have a great country. 0.88
01:06:14.000 We should probably protect it and preserve it.
01:06:18.000 I have one technical question here for you, Luke.
01:06:23.000 How much of this is on DeWine's table, and how much of it is federal?
01:06:28.000 Who needs to stop this stuff, and who do we need to blow up on social media?
01:06:31.000 So, Congress told the states 10 years ago you have to use GPS to make sure that these home health care aids actually go to the person's house.
01:06:39.000 And several states just did not do it.
01:06:42.000 And Ohio was one of them.
01:06:43.000 New York is another.
01:06:46.000 It seems like some of these states probably violated the law.
01:06:49.000 And I think that's where you get into some of the states run Medicaid, but the federal government pays for most of it.
01:06:55.000 And some of these states, including Ohio, just seem to turn a blind eye.
01:06:58.000 Now, I have to give credit to Ohio.
01:07:00.000 They literally changed the law after my series on this.
01:07:03.000 So they're trying to do the right thing now.
01:07:05.000 But it shouldn't have taken me and a database that was released by the Trump administration to highlight this stuff because it's been going on for 10 years or more.
01:07:12.000 Well, Luke, that's why we love highlighting your work because it actually results in wins.
01:07:16.000 It actually results in change.
01:07:18.000 And you've been a powerful voice in getting some of these stories highlighted on the national stage.
01:07:23.000 We want to do our part to make sure that this continues getting out there because it's enraging.
01:07:28.000 And I think the American people are sick of being taken for a ride and being made suckers of because we're a generous, caring, giving people.
01:07:36.000 And then other cultures come here and they think that they're entitled to the wealth and the productivity of our people.
01:07:42.000 And by the way, A lot of Democrats feel that way too.
01:07:45.000 And a lot of Republicans.
01:07:46.000 And it's got to stop.
01:07:47.000 We've got to get this out of our system.
01:07:49.000 Luke Rosiak, investigative journalist from The Daily Wire.
01:07:53.000 You're doing great work, man.
01:07:54.000 Thank you.
01:07:54.000 God bless you.
01:07:57.000 I don't know.
01:07:58.000 Are you as upset about us just continually getting taken for a ride?
01:08:01.000 I hope you send us some emails.
01:08:04.000 We got one who's a Gad Sad fan, clearly, because Lisa says, Our toxic empathy has destroyed our immigration system. 0.96
01:08:11.000 I totally agree. 0.85
01:08:11.000 These were developed by high trust people who. 0.85
01:08:15.000 And they're being exploited by no trust trash. 0.93
01:08:17.000 That's how she says it. 1.00
01:08:18.000 No trust trash. 0.98
01:08:19.000 I like that. 0.98
01:08:20.000 By the way, I have no problem saying other cultures aren't as good as ours.
01:08:23.000 No, no problem.
01:08:24.000 We have a great culture.
01:08:25.000 We should protect it.
01:08:26.000 Some civilizations are better than others.
01:08:30.000 And that's not racist, it's just observation.
01:08:32.000 I am not racist for observing objective truth. 0.99
01:08:36.000 Okay, so I want to touch on this Arch Manning story out of the University of Texas at Austin because it's so stupid. 0.98
01:08:45.000 All right, so the University of Texas has this. 0.98
01:08:48.000 Great comeback from behind win over number one ranked Danny's Ohio State.
01:08:54.000 OH, Danny, where are you at?
01:08:56.000 Oh, can't hear you.
01:08:57.000 Can't hear you.
01:08:58.000 OH, nope.
01:09:00.000 Still not hearing you, Danny.
01:09:01.000 I'm so sorry.
01:09:02.000 Anyways, University of Texas wins.
01:09:04.000 I got no dog in this fight.
01:09:05.000 I don't really care about any of them.
01:09:07.000 But they won, and it was beautiful.
01:09:09.000 And so Arch Manning is the, I guess he's the nephew, right?
01:09:13.000 He's the nephew of Peyton and Eli.
01:09:14.000 He's the son of their one who had spinal stenosis.
01:09:17.000 Okay, right.
01:09:17.000 So Arch Manning, he's the starting quarterback at University of Texas.
01:09:20.000 Big comeback from behind.
01:09:22.000 And he's had a tough career so far.
01:09:25.000 Lots of expectations, not a lot of huge wins.
01:09:27.000 This was big, big for him.
01:09:29.000 So, after the win, there's this whole sub story where Coach Sark, Sarkisian, was waiting for an interview and there was a technical difficulty during halftime.
01:09:40.000 And so he kind of like bailed on that interview.
01:09:43.000 Then they have this big come from behind win. 0.95
01:09:44.000 He's crazy. 0.99
01:09:45.000 He's like losing his mind. 0.99
01:09:46.000 He's so excited.
01:09:48.000 And ESPN reporter Holly Rowe was trying to stop him for.
01:09:54.000 An interview after the game, which is kind of obligatory.
01:09:56.000 They're supposed to do it.
01:09:57.000 I think it's probably contractual.
01:09:59.000 And Coach Sark just goes, Texas fight, hook him, and walks off, kind of runs off.
01:10:04.000 It's a real moment, right?
01:10:06.000 So then that gives way to what the internet does, which is meme culture, all right?
01:10:10.000 Meme culture is fun most of the time.
01:10:12.000 So you should just embrace it and not be too upset about it.
01:10:16.000 And then one of these videos, it's pretty aggressive, actually, this AI version.
01:10:23.000 So this is not real.
01:10:26.000 Coach Sark said, you know, Texas fight, hook him, runs off.
01:10:29.000 That's what really happened.
01:10:30.000 This is the AI version of what happened, 19.
01:10:32.000 This was going to go over.
01:10:39.000 Okay, that's aggressive.
01:10:40.000 And that, okay.
01:10:43.000 So then Arch Manning is asked about kind of some of the memes that are going on afterwards, and he laughed at this one.
01:10:49.000 SOT 18.
01:10:51.000 I've seen a few AI edits of stuff, but that's about it.
01:10:55.000 I saw an AI edit of Stark's interview.
01:10:59.000 Y'all seen that one?
01:11:01.000 That's a good one.
01:11:04.000 Of him slapping how I wrote.
01:11:05.000 Yeah. 0.98
01:11:09.000 It's hilarious.
01:11:10.000 Okay.
01:11:10.000 So it's absurd.
01:11:12.000 Okay.
01:11:12.000 That's the whole point.
01:11:16.000 We've traveled from people getting in trouble for laughing at someone actually getting slapped to people getting mad at an AI edit of someone virtually being slapped.
01:11:24.000 It was, okay.
01:11:26.000 It was this.
01:11:27.000 If people don't follow sports, you have to understand this moment was like everybody, the whole country was watching.
01:11:34.000 If you were a college football fan, you were watching this moment and it divided the internet.
01:11:37.000 Was Coach Sark rude?
01:11:39.000 Was he in his right to kind of go celebrate with his?
01:11:43.000 His team, and you know, you could tell he was pumped up.
01:11:46.000 And there was this, you know, previous storyline where they made him wait for a really long time.
01:11:50.000 Holly Rowe actually came in support and said, Hey, he waited here for a long time.
01:11:54.000 We had some tech issues, so we didn't get the interview.
01:11:56.000 Okay.
01:11:57.000 But then at the end, okay, so you got this whole side story.
01:12:00.000 And then for him to laugh at a meme is now something he has to apologize for.
01:12:05.000 Throw up 178.
01:12:06.000 Texas QB Arch Manning apologizes for insensitive comment about AI video.
01:12:11.000 Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, laughed about an AI video depicting his coach.
01:12:16.000 Steve Sarkeesian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe after Texas's win over Ohio State.
01:12:22.000 It really occurs to me this is the sort of scandal you can only have with AI where it looks realistic.
01:12:28.000 Like, I could easily imagine that exact same joke happening, but let's say it was in Family Guy.
01:12:33.000 You just had a Family Guy portrayal of it with the coach punching this reporter.
01:12:37.000 And that would just go, people would love sharing that and they would get a huge kick out of it.
01:12:40.000 It's the fact that it's an AI video that looks real to people.
01:12:44.000 And so, in their head, they decide to treat it.
01:12:47.000 Like it is real, like he is laughing at something that did happen and it did not happen.
01:12:54.000 It's so interesting.
01:12:55.000 Why do we care so much about something that didn't even happen?
01:12:59.000 It's not a thing.
01:13:00.000 So now you got Coach Sark who's having to issue an apology saying, nowhere do we condone domestic violence.
01:13:09.000 This is like, this is a comedy.
01:13:12.000 It's absurd.
01:13:14.000 Look at what we have done to our culture.
01:13:18.000 He laughed at a meme, people.
01:13:21.000 And so here's the thing.
01:13:23.000 When you interpret this Beau French thing, when you interpret all of this stuff, it is a tempest in a tea kettle.
01:13:30.000 It is not real. 0.96
01:13:32.000 It's all fake. 1.00
01:13:34.000 It's all stupid. 1.00
01:13:36.000 It's all totally irrelevant. 1.00
01:13:38.000 Arch Manning was not sitting there laughing at a meme because he thinks slapping women is okay or that abusing Holly Rowe is like in real life would be funny.
01:13:49.000 It's funny because Coach Sark had this huge drama the entire game.
01:13:53.000 With the reporters, there was Tech Airs.
01:13:55.000 She had to kind of back him.
01:13:57.000 And he ran off after going, hook him, Texas fight.
01:14:01.000 And it was funny.
01:14:02.000 It was funny.
01:14:04.000 So, anyways, I just wanted to cover this because it is a perfect microcosm.
01:14:09.000 It is the pure definition of virtue signaling in this sort of Olympics that we put everybody through to be pure and to prostrate themselves at some amorphous morality that is constantly changing and being defined by people that have largely forgotten the Lord.
01:14:28.000 That's to tie two things together from hour one and hour two.
01:14:32.000 So, guys, laugh at.
01:14:33.000 Laugh at this absurdity.
01:14:34.000 Do not cow to it.
01:14:36.000 Do not bow to it.
01:14:37.000 Do not be beholden to it.
01:14:39.000 We have a country to save, and this is not part of it.
01:14:43.000 So, anyways, God bless Arch Manning and UT Austin for beating Danny's Ohio State.
01:14:48.000 That's the main takeaway.
01:14:49.000 We'll see you tomorrow.
