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'll end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You 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, Lord Museman.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000 All right.
00:01:09.000 Happy Monday from the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:12.000 I'm Andrew Colvet, executive producer of this fine show, joined by Mikey McCoy.
00:01:17.000 How are we doing?
00:01:18.000 Back in the chair.
00:01:18.000 Thank you.
00:01:19.000 Blake.
00:01:19.000 You know, I just don't know if we're going to have Blake back at this point, Mikey.
00:01:22.000 We lost him.
00:01:22.000 We lost Blake.
00:01:23.000 Lost him to Italy.
00:01:24.000 He's in Italy.
00:01:26.000 He's enjoying himself, I'm told.
00:01:28.000 He's a family member taking the vows.
00:01:30.000 And I learned all about the vows.
00:01:32.000 I do know none vows.
00:01:34.000 I don't know what you call them exactly.
00:01:37.000 Apparently, there's ones that you do in year one, and it's called the novice.
00:01:40.000 Yeah.
00:01:41.000 So then they give you kind of time to appreciate if you want to keep doing this.
00:01:46.000 And then I guess the four-year vow, that's when you take the permanent vows.
00:01:51.000 And I think that's what his cousin was doing.
00:01:52.000 No, doing year one.
00:01:53.000 Oh, she was doing year one.
00:01:54.000 Year one.
00:01:54.000 Oh, gotcha.
00:01:55.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:55.000 So very cool stuff.
00:01:57.000 We hope that he comes back to us and doesn't just take the Naples.
00:02:02.000 Yeah, maybe.
00:02:02.000 Yeah.
00:02:03.000 Blake becomes a priest.
00:02:06.000 Okay, well, we have news to get to.
00:02:09.000 It is Monday, and Mike and I were both kind of off the grid a little bit this weekend, but you had time to go visit the No Kings protest.
00:02:16.000 Yeah.
00:02:17.000 Yeah, the one in Santa Barbara.
00:02:18.000 Oh, wow.
00:02:19.000 Yeah, it was all middle-aged white people.
00:02:22.000 Middle-aged.
00:02:23.000 That's been nice.
00:02:25.000 Yeah, maybe a little older.
00:02:27.000 And they're just, yeah, uncleanly, I think is the best description.
00:02:32.000 Old, 30 white people.
00:02:33.000 Old, 30 white people.
00:02:34.000 And weird, too.
00:02:35.000 Very weird.
00:02:36.000 Fascinating.
00:02:37.000 I know.
00:02:38.000 Well, there was a lot of news made.
00:02:40.000 I would say that generally they were peaceful, but there was a lot of really gross stuff that discussed there, right?
00:02:50.000 Like signs, you know, you can put up this B-roll, 77.
00:02:54.000 I mean, you'll just see some of the images that were coming across were like, kill all Nazis.
00:02:59.000 So essentially, that's what they think of us, right?
00:03:03.000 There was this gentleman here, Cut 80.
00:03:05.000 Oh, well, so we'll get to her in just a second.
00:03:07.000 She's a special case.
00:03:08.000 Yeah, that's Lucy Martinez, if we do want to go into that.
00:03:11.000 But give me one second here.
00:03:13.000 This is a guy, 83.
00:03:15.000 Kind of sounds like about the demographic you were experiencing on the streets, Mikey.
00:03:21.000 This is Cut 83.
00:03:22.000 This is a gentleman who's calling for people to go kill ICE agents.
00:03:27.000 You gotta grab a gun.
00:03:27.000 83.
00:03:29.000 We gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system.
00:03:34.000 These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out.
00:03:38.000 This day, the state machinery that's a failed display right there has to get wiped out.
00:03:45.000 So you gotta, these ICE agents gotta get shot.
00:03:49.000 And so I'm pretty sure that gentleman will be getting a visit from the FBI.
00:03:53.000 Law enforcement should definitely be knocking on that gentleman's door.
00:03:58.000 But we want to know what you guys thought.
00:04:00.000 Did you go to the did you witness any of these protests over the weekend?
00:04:04.000 Did you check them out yourself?
00:04:05.000 Go send us an email, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:04:09.000 We want to know what you saw, what you thought of them.
00:04:12.000 What was your takeaway?
00:04:14.000 I have like a glass half full, glass half empty.
00:04:16.000 We're going to get to more of these people in just a second because there were many examples of these people going completely bonkers over the weekend.
00:04:16.000 And we have more.
00:04:26.000 Yeah, like this one.
00:04:28.000 One question, one quick one I have to just go to.
00:04:30.000 This is just insane.
00:04:31.000 I just saw it in the chat.
00:04:32.000 And I have one too.
00:04:34.000 Yeah, put it up there.
00:04:35.000 So check out this guy.
00:04:36.000 This is another old boomer.
00:04:38.000 And he says, wanted better snipers.
00:04:44.000 So I want you to think about this.
00:04:46.000 We're barely over a month removed from Charlie being horrifically assassinated in cold blood.
00:04:54.000 And this guy goes out with a picture of President Trump's head with a target on his head saying, wanted better snipers.
00:05:03.000 I want you to think about how deranged and sick that is and how vile that is.
00:05:08.000 And by the way, there were other images.
00:05:10.000 Yeah, this one, 84.
00:05:12.000 This is the one I took when I was in Santa Barbara.
00:05:14.000 This guy's wearing a shirt that says, Not today, Jesus.
00:05:17.000 Satanists have more empathy than you.
00:05:23.000 These are indecent people.
00:05:24.000 Yeah, they're failing the basic humanity test, basic decency test.
00:05:31.000 And it's really disgusting.
00:05:32.000 So I want to, but I do want to hear what you guys think.
00:05:35.000 Send us your emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:05:37.000 But here's my glass half full: is that we know that there was no deal in Washington basically because they wanted this protest weekend to happen, right?
00:05:45.000 The Democrats needed to look like they're putting up a fight against this tyrannical President Trump.
00:05:51.000 And so we had to do this.
00:05:52.000 And now, hopefully, on the other side of this, we will be able to reopen the government and Democrats will bend the knee.
00:06:00.000 Basically, that's that.
00:06:01.000 I mean, to use, I mean, they're calling him a king, so why don't we just keep the analogy going?
00:06:05.000 But here's the glass half full: is that hopefully they got this out of their system.
00:06:09.000 Hopefully, this was, you know, I would rather see crazed deranged libs go out and march than pick up a rifle and try and kill someone.
00:06:19.000 Yeah, that's that's my glass half full.
00:06:21.000 I would rather them feel empowered to get out and do something, be the change they want to see.
00:06:27.000 Because we know that they're frustrated.
00:06:29.000 We know that they're feeling like they've lost the country, that we're winning the messaging war and they're losing it.
00:06:33.000 So they have to do something to demonstrate their passion for the country.
00:06:38.000 I hope this gives them an opportunity to say, hey, we did something, and now we can move on.
00:06:42.000 Yeah.
00:06:43.000 But I mean, maybe that's that's very much the glass half full.
00:06:47.000 Definitely a glass half full.
00:06:49.000 Maybe I would be a little more cynical.
00:06:52.000 Well, I agree.
00:06:53.000 I agree.
00:06:54.000 Less political assassins, maybe a little more peaceful protesting.
00:06:57.000 But still, the signs they're waving and the slogans they're cheering.
00:07:02.000 These are gross people.
00:07:03.000 And yesterday, Elizabeth, her family's from Ukraine, she went up to one of a group of women.
00:07:08.000 She said, Hey, guys, I'm an immigrant from Ukraine.
00:07:11.000 And this is my wife.
00:07:12.000 And all of them go, she goes, And I love Trump.
00:07:16.000 And they all started booing her.
00:07:18.000 But that's amazing.
00:07:19.000 I know.
00:07:20.000 They love you until they find out who you support.
00:07:22.000 Well, and Ukraine, yes.
00:07:25.000 Trump, no.
00:07:26.000 So here's another one from the.
00:07:30.000 Oh, never mind.
00:07:32.000 I thought we had it.
00:07:34.000 So there was another interaction.
00:07:37.000 Hopefully we can get this.
00:07:38.000 I'm going to pull it up for the team here.
00:07:40.000 But there was another interaction.
00:07:41.000 What we saw on the streets was basically a lot of old hippie commies that were getting frustrated at Trump, and they were saying the most vile things.
00:07:50.000 But one of these people does not appear to be a boomer, if you will.
00:07:57.000 Not that we love our boomers, don't get me wrong, but the hippie boomers, not okay.
00:08:01.000 Yeah, so this is we've got the clip loading in just a second.
00:08:05.000 This was from the Daily Signal, and this is an old hippie boomer.
00:08:09.000 It was basically saying she was happy that Charlie was assassinated.
00:08:12.000 That's how gross these people are.
00:08:14.000 I don't know what's wrong with them.
00:08:17.000 Hopefully, that they can get the help that they need.
00:08:20.000 And I really hope that happens.
00:08:22.000 Cut 90.
00:08:23.000 And we might even need to be a little bit meaner because the Republicans don't mind being mean.
00:08:30.000 And by mean, what do you mean?
00:08:31.000 Do you mean protesting?
00:08:32.000 Do you mean maybe we have to stop being so nice?
00:08:36.000 Because you seem like a pretty nice lady.
00:08:37.000 I'm a pretty nice lady, but I can be pretty mean, too.
00:08:40.000 People on the other side are going to say that they feel like the Democrat Party has been mean.
00:08:44.000 Recently, with Charlie Kirk being assassinated, they're a piece of garbage.
00:08:48.000 Of course, we were mean.
00:08:50.000 I am so tired of people saying, oh, but, you know, it's a terrible thing.
00:08:54.000 No, Hitler is dead.
00:08:55.000 I'm glad Hitler's dead.
00:08:58.000 So that's an old boomer, hippie boomer, commie.
00:09:01.000 And she's saying that she's glad Hitler's dead in relation to Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
00:09:08.000 Yeah, I mean, the comparisons are really dangerous here.
00:09:11.000 The sign I saw yesterday was them comparing a MAGA hat to the KKK hood or the Nazi hat.
00:09:20.000 And these comparisons are what lead to political radicalization and weaponization of the left, which unfortunately kind of there's the sign right there.
00:09:28.000 Unfortunately, leads to a lot of people becoming political assassins or thinking that a MAGA granny is the same thing as Hitler or that Charlie Kirk's the same thing as Hitler, which is what this woman is basically comparing him to.
00:09:40.000 This is really disgusting, and it's a trajectory that the left is headed on.
00:09:45.000 It's a very worrying one for me.
00:09:47.000 Well, and then the problem is that they go and watch their news, nightly news at MSNBC or whatever.
00:09:54.000 Yeah.
00:09:54.000 And they hear George Conway.
00:09:57.000 They hear all of these people just reiterating, yeah, Trump's the most corrupt, evil tyrant, dictator in the world.
00:10:02.000 He's militarizing the National Guard and we got to shoot ICE agents.
00:10:05.000 Like, this is really sick stuff.
00:10:08.000 So I do have a glass half-full take on it.
00:10:11.000 I don't know that I even believe it, but I'm hopeful for the sake of the country that, I mean, goodness, like these people are truly deranged and we have a mental health crisis in this country.
00:10:24.000 Hey, everybody, this is Andrew Colvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:10:29.000 Burna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of Turning Point USA because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves, their families, and their communities.
00:10:40.000 The Burna, less lethal launcher, looks like a firearm, but it isn't one.
00:10:43.000 It fires powerful chemical irritant and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks, giving you the time and space you need to get to safety.
00:10:52.000 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.
00:10:54.000 Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures.
00:11:00.000 It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
00:11:08.000 Burna can be shipped directly to your door.
00:11:11.000 I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use.
00:11:15.000 Be prepared, be confident, be safe.
00:11:18.000 Go to Burna B-Y-R-N-A.com.
00:11:20.000 That's burna.com and see why tens of thousands of Americans are choosing Burna for peace of mind.
00:11:28.000 We mentioned George Conway.
00:11:30.000 Yeah.
00:11:30.000 This is clip 81.
00:11:32.000 It is him trolling, as he puts it.
00:11:36.000 He was wearing an I Am Antifa shirt during the protest, cut 81.
00:11:41.000 We were wearing a t-shirt that was designed to troll Donald Trump.
00:11:45.000 Yeah, it said, I am Antifa.
00:11:48.000 And some of the, I think a guy from the Daily Caller took a photograph of it, and then it was some kind of gotcha on conservative media.
00:11:54.000 But, you know, it's just completely silly.
00:11:57.000 Yeah, some gotcha just joking about domestic terrorists.
00:12:00.000 No big deal, guys.
00:12:02.000 George Conway is a real, he's a real peach, that guy.
00:12:08.000 I don't want to get into too many details.
00:12:09.000 But here, you know what's funny?
00:12:11.000 It just occurs to me with MSNBC.
00:12:13.000 There was an article out of Free Beacon.
00:12:17.000 And it's wild.
00:12:19.000 They basically have, in the third quarter of 2025, MSNBC averaged just 41,000 daytime viewers and 66,000 primetime viewers under the age of 55.
00:12:30.000 So when you look at these protests and you're like, wow, they're all of a certain age and demographic, as you noted, Mikey, this is why, because only 10% of MSNBC's audience is in the coveted 24 to 54 age range, which is, you know, that's how you make money.
00:12:50.000 And yet they're paying like Rachel Maddow $25 million a year to do one day of programming a week and to make documentaries nobody watches.
00:12:58.000 Yeah, I just, how many of these boomers missed marching in the civil rights marches or missed marching during COVID because they were too scared to leave their houses or wouldn't eat anywhere without three masks and 12 gloves on.
00:13:11.000 And I just, I find it funny that they're all marching in the streets now.
00:13:15.000 And the demographic, it is all old white boomers.
00:13:19.000 You could not see a single young person in the crowd yet.
00:13:22.000 There was one, and I want you guys to put up the image of Lucy Martinez.
00:13:27.000 So Lucy Martinez is a teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary School in Chicago.
00:13:35.000 And some conservatives went through the crowd and they started getting taunts from these protesters.
00:13:42.000 And this one is Lucy Martinez.
00:13:44.000 And she started motioning to her neck with a gun and pulling the trigger.
00:13:51.000 And she did it repeatedly.
00:13:53.000 And then the internet did what the internet does and found out that she is, in fact, a teacher of young kids.
00:13:59.000 The school has taken down its X account and basically wiped the deleted any presence online, including X page and the official school webpage.
00:14:13.000 And the school has yet to provide an official response.
00:14:17.000 I think this should be pretty easy, Nathan Hale Elementary School.
00:14:21.000 The answer is we have fired Miss Martinez for being an abject failure of a human.
00:14:29.000 And we apologize, and we will screen our teachers better in the future.
00:14:34.000 And we apologize for any harm or distress that this has caused the student body.
00:14:39.000 It won't happen again.
00:14:39.000 We're so sorry.
00:14:41.000 And that's all.
00:14:42.000 Just fire her quickly.
00:14:44.000 I don't know what is going to take you so long other than maybe you're beholden to the teachers union.
00:14:48.000 Yeah, here's the video.
00:14:49.000 It's just amazing to watch grown adults behave in such a hideous, disgusting manner.
00:14:56.000 I thought you put out an excellent tweet yesterday about how many public school teachers are the ones motioning in such disgusting manners and also speaking out and celebrating the death of a political opponent.
00:15:09.000 These are the people that are entrusted to be teaching your children that when you're at work for the day, you're leaving your child with these people.
00:15:17.000 I don't think that's stated enough.
00:15:19.000 I thought you had an excellent point there.
00:15:21.000 Yeah, no, so I mean, I'll drop it here for everybody.
00:15:23.000 Yeah, it's one of those ones that was simple, but it seemed to resonate.
00:15:27.000 It said the most vile reactions to Charlie's murder have almost all been public school teachers and professors.
00:15:32.000 Tells you a lot about what America's children are facing and why TPUSA is more important than ever.
00:15:38.000 And man, do I believe that?
00:15:39.000 Because, you know, I mean, this is an elementary school.
00:15:42.000 We don't have an elementary school program, but perhaps we should consider one in the future.
00:15:46.000 But this is really like, it's very, very, like, disorienting and disheartening to realize just how deep the venom and the poison has gone where you have a grown woman who's supposed to be teaching the next generation virtue and values and probably science and math.
00:16:05.000 She's a STEM teacher.
00:16:07.000 And this is what she's doing with her free time.
00:16:10.000 And it's, listen.
00:16:12.000 We are going to stay on Nathan Hale.
00:16:14.000 You should feel free to email that.
00:16:15.000 We'll get the email in the break and we'll have people.
00:16:18.000 There's her actual personal email.
00:16:20.000 I doubt that that will do much good at this point.
00:16:22.000 But the people that are in charge of this woman need to be told just how disgusted we all are at her behavior and how she passed.
00:16:28.000 She failed the test.
00:16:29.000 This is a pop quiz in life, okay?
00:16:32.000 When something happens, when you're caught on video and you are either exposed as a wonderful person or as a degenerate human and a vile monster, that's a life pop quiz.
00:16:42.000 You failed.

00:18:02.000 All right, without further ado, I want to welcome Savannah Hernandez.
00:18:04.000 She is an amazing journalist that we have at TPUSA Frontlines.
00:18:08.000 She was in the streets covering the protests.
00:18:10.000 Sav, welcome to the show.
00:18:12.000 Thank you so much for having me, Andrew.
00:18:14.000 Oh, it's great to have you.
00:18:16.000 I've been waiting for this.
00:18:17.000 And you've been doing such great work.
00:18:19.000 Like for the last month, I've been watching everything you've been putting out, and it's been really important.
00:18:24.000 It's been really encouraging, actually.
00:18:26.000 And just to see that the team is fighting, that we haven't missed a beat.
00:18:30.000 You are out there doing what you do best, and you're uncovering important stories that nobody else is covering.
00:18:36.000 So let's hear from you.
00:18:38.000 You are an eyewitness to the madness and the mayhem and the hippie commies taking to the streets all over.
00:18:44.000 You were in New York City, correct?
00:18:46.000 Yes, I was in New York, the epicenter of all of the protests in the nation outside of D.C.
00:18:51.000 So yes, New York City.
00:18:53.000 Awesome.
00:18:53.000 What did you see?
00:18:54.000 Describe it for the audience that had better things to do on Saturday, like, you know, I don't know, watch college football or hang on to the family.
00:19:00.000 Have a normal family life.
00:19:02.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:19:02.000 Barbecue.
00:19:04.000 So when I first got there, it started in Times Square, and the crowd was huge.
00:19:08.000 I think the numbers can't be understated here.
00:19:10.000 You had a lot of people that were in New York specifically, you know, marching on behalf of illegal immigrants, marching on behalf of Antifa.
00:19:19.000 The numbers at first are what really drew my attention.
00:19:22.000 Now, the groups inside that were marching, another thing that drew my attention, specifically because Antifa had quite a presence there.
00:19:30.000 And I am noticing, really interesting, after President Trump deemed Antifa a domestic terrorist organization, you now have this movement of people holding up signs of top Democrats like Zorhan Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jimmy Kimmel, and labeling them Antifa.
00:19:45.000 So there's this really interesting movement to kind of whitewash what this group really is.
00:19:50.000 But of course, you have those radicals in this protest as well that were holding up a picture of a guillotine with a single MAGA hat at the bottom, kind of signaled that, or looked like they were signaling to behead MAGA people.
00:20:02.000 That was interesting.
00:20:03.000 You also had a big sign reading, all Nazis go to hell, with a MAGA hat and the word ICE on the banner.
00:20:10.000 And then another sign that said, you know, the MAGA hat is the modern day KKK hat or, you know, Nazi hat.
00:20:18.000 So a lot of the typical things that we were seeing, and it's really interesting, Andrew, because I feel like you had two subsets of people.
00:20:24.000 He had the protesters who had no idea why they were there, had no idea what the event was even about, couldn't even explain the concept of no kings and how it relates to President Trump.
00:20:32.000 And then you had the radical left that were there to essentially state that the other half of America, the 77 million people who voted for President Trump, deserve the death penalty, essentially, because they're Nazis and they're fascists.
00:20:44.000 So those were the two groups in attendance this last Saturday.
00:20:48.000 Jeez.
00:20:48.000 Yeah.
00:20:48.000 I mean, there was a lot of this.
00:20:51.000 There's this effort to say that Antifa doesn't exist and that it just stands for anti-fascist, which, you know, should be a good thing, right?
00:20:58.000 It should be a good thing.
00:21:00.000 I actually find it bizarre that in 2025, we are still having the debate with Democrats that Antifa is a real thing, that they are a militant force of radical leftists that take to the streets to harass federal law enforcement, to harass journalists like you.
00:21:15.000 I mean, Sab, you have had run-ins with Antifa.
00:21:19.000 Is Antifa real?
00:21:20.000 Yes, Andrew, Antifa is 1,000% real.
00:21:23.000 I have been attacked by them personally.
00:21:24.000 All of my personal friends have been attacked by them.
00:21:26.000 I mean, I was sitting at the Antifa Roundtable just a couple of weeks ago on behalf of Turning Point USA, and I got to speak with the president about what we've been seeing on the ground for years at this point, because Antifa has been terrorizing law-abiding American citizens, journalists.
00:21:40.000 And quite frankly, it's been so difficult.
00:21:42.000 And there was a period of time in which I was even scared to go and report on the streets of Portland because I knew that there was no police presence there.
00:21:49.000 And Antifa really did run the streets.
00:21:51.000 So if I got hurt, RIP to me, essentially.
00:21:54.000 And this was the mindset of a lot of journalists who have been covering Antifa.
00:21:57.000 And it's funny, Andrew, because the left wing has really been trying to slander everybody at that roundtable and say that we are not real journalists.
00:22:03.000 Because I guess real journalism in 2025 is not going to the No Kings protests and highlighting all of the protesters who are calling for violence against half the nation.
00:22:11.000 I guess being a fake journalist is going and covering Antifa and putting your life on the line, trying to highlight the very well-organized organization that this is and how violent they've been toward, again, law-abiding American citizens.
00:22:23.000 Well said, Saf.
00:22:24.000 So I guess our emails are lighting up with people of a certain generation that are mad at me for mentioning that there was a lot of boomers out there.
00:22:37.000 And I promise you, I remember Charlie would go through this if he ever dared step foot on this landmine.
00:22:42.000 So I apologize.
00:22:43.000 I know better.
00:22:43.000 But here I would just say one more time.
00:22:45.000 Please do not feel the need if you are born before 1964, I believe is the cutoff.
00:22:52.000 You do not have to defend your entire generation.
00:22:55.000 You do not.
00:22:56.000 And we love you.
00:22:58.000 We love every patriot that loves this country and wants to put it first.
00:23:02.000 I just want to say this is not directed at you.
00:23:05.000 You guys are salt of the earth and you have kept the flame of liberty burning.
00:23:09.000 So please take the compliment and don't just hear that there is a certain contingent of hippies that never grew out of it.
00:23:16.000 And that's okay to acknowledge that and to observe the truth there.
00:23:20.000 So Sav, it feels like maybe you got accosted by one of these people that I'm talking about here.
00:23:26.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 60.
00:23:28.000 I am here at the No Kings protest.
00:23:31.000 I've been following this protest for about three hours now.
00:23:34.000 I am wearing my official New York City press badge and it says Turning Point USA on it.
00:23:38.000 Just a message for all of the people who say that journalists like myself and the journalists who were at the Antifa Roundtable are agitators.
00:23:46.000 I'm standing here doing nothing and I have had people come up to me, read my press badge, and then try to make a point of telling me that Charlie was a racist anti-Semite and that I am a problem essentially.
00:23:57.000 All I'm doing is standing here and taking footage.
00:24:00.000 And I think 58 is actually part of that interaction that you were just reacting to.
00:24:05.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 58.
00:24:07.000 So you found out that I worked for Turning Point and you said you can't stand here and talk with me because why?
00:24:12.000 Because Charlie Kirk was a racist bigot scum.
00:24:16.000 His rhetoric ruined thousands of lives.
00:24:21.000 Can I ask what rhetoric is at the forefront for you?
00:24:23.000 That was the most hateful thing.
00:24:25.000 I hate his racism.
00:24:27.000 He was an anti-Semite.
00:24:29.000 So regarding the racism, I myself am a Hispanic Asian woman.
00:24:32.000 Okay.
00:24:32.000 He hired me on to represent his organization.
00:24:35.000 God bless.
00:24:36.000 Everybody needs a token.
00:24:38.000 Oh.
00:24:39.000 Everybody needs it.
00:24:40.000 Okay, Sav, I'll let you take that.
00:24:42.000 I mean, this guy's a real peach, real winner, this one.
00:24:46.000 Yeah, Andrew.
00:24:47.000 And you know what?
00:24:48.000 I have been noticing, you know, ever since September 10th, when people read my press badge now, they have made a point to come up to me because this is the second time this has happened now.
00:24:57.000 Because oftentimes when I'm at these events, especially for my own safety, I've just been doing a lot of B-roll footage.
00:25:02.000 I'm not really trying to engage with or interview these protesters because I just feel like we're at a very volatile situation in our country right now.
00:25:09.000 And I'm oftentimes alone at these events.
00:25:12.000 So when I was here this last Saturday, I was simply standing there and these men struck up a conversation with me because they read Turning Point USA on my badge.
00:25:19.000 And again, this man got so agitated that he felt the need to say that Charlie was a racist, anti-Semite, that he was all of these horrific things.
00:25:28.000 And again, you know, I'm trying to give an example of how Charlie was not any of these things.
00:25:32.000 And then this man decides to respond with racism, which is what he's accusing Charlie of.
00:25:37.000 And then, you know, the conversation goes on and he's basically talking about how the right wing is fascist.
00:25:41.000 Meanwhile, he's standing in front of a giant sign, you know, that is labeling all of their left wing's opposition as fascist.
00:25:48.000 I'm like, no, you guys are the ones that are acting in a fascistic way, silencing people, attacking people.
00:25:54.000 And, you know, people in the right wing are really suffering from it and being killed because of it.
00:25:58.000 Do you not see a problem with that?
00:25:59.000 And of course, they don't.
00:26:01.000 It's really interesting because I do notice that a very angry contingent of, like I said, this older class.
00:26:07.000 And, you know, Andrew, it's funny.
00:26:08.000 I've been getting the same exact comments where it's like, don't be ageists.
00:26:12.000 Don't be mean to the boomers.
00:26:13.000 Guess what?
00:26:13.000 There's bad millennials.
00:26:14.000 There's bad Gen Zers too that are equally as radicalized as the boomers.
00:26:18.000 So, you know, we need to call all of them out.
00:26:20.000 And I don't understand why they are so aggressive.
00:26:23.000 Again, Andrew, this is a 60-year-old man who is hurling what would be considered by the left wing racist insults at me because I work for an organization that's nearly on the ground trying to show people what's going on.
00:26:35.000 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, I, I, we just covered Lucy Martinez, the story of the teacher out of Nathan Hale Elementary School who was doing the motion to her neck.
00:26:45.000 Yeah.
00:26:45.000 Um, and it's, it's a, it's weird to see grown adults behaving so poorly, so terribly, so, you know, disgustingly evil.
00:26:57.000 And I just think it's abrupt and it's crazy to see, and it, it, it's really discomforting.
00:27:02.000 But I will say, Sav, you're doing a phenomenal job covering this stuff, and I'm glad you're safe.
00:27:07.000 I hope you stay safe because, you know, we need you to be doing this.
00:27:11.000 So always trust your gut, follow your instincts because the left has been radicalized.
00:27:15.000 And we, and by the way, just so, you know, a word for the boomers, actually the most violent cohort among liberals, self-described liberals, is 18 to 39.
00:27:25.000 So we know that actually it's the younger liberals that are more prone to actual violence.
00:27:30.000 At least these people, yeah, they have some disgusting ideas, but at least, you know, you probably weren't thinking this guy was, you know, going to become violent with UNESCO.
00:27:38.000 He was just being, you know, disgusting.
00:27:41.000 He was being extremely rude, which, you know, fair enough.
00:27:45.000 But Andrew, if I could jump in really quickly, last thing is: I do feel like this mindset is a direct result of the fact that we never did take care of Antifa and we saw the normalization of violence, the normalization of dehumanizing people who you view as your political opposition.
00:28:01.000 This has been a decade of, you know, again, people getting away with very violent and dehumanizing behavior.
00:28:09.000 So now we're seeing public school teachers and people who are responsible with raising the children of this country mocking a violent assassination.
00:28:19.000 So really, again, volatile place that we're at as a country right now, Andrew, and being on the ground for it has been insane.
00:28:26.000 Totally.
00:28:26.000 Thank you so much for joining us, Sav.
00:28:28.000 We're out of time in this segment.
00:28:29.000 And I just want to say thank you again for doing what you're doing.
00:28:32.000 And that point is well made.
00:28:34.000 They are trying to normalize Antifa.
00:28:36.000 That's what all those signs were.
00:28:37.000 That's what George Conway was doing.
00:28:39.000 It's really, really disgusting because Antifa has completely dismissed the liberal values of open debate and open dialogue that Charlie promoted.
00:28:51.000 This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment officer and founding partner of YReFi.
00:28:55.000 It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.
00:29:01.000 His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come.
00:29:07.000 Now, here Charlie, in his own words, tell you about why ReFi.
00:29:11.000 I'm going to tell you guys about whyrefi.com.

00:29:59.000 Mikey, you were at the Santa Barbara No Kings protest rally.
00:30:05.000 I don't know what we're calling it.
00:30:06.000 And you caught, you captured some great footage here, which is what this is really funny.
00:30:12.000 Like, what are they doing?
00:30:13.000 What are these people doing?
00:30:14.000 Put up that image that Mikey just put in the chat with the whole, it's like a prison.
00:30:21.000 There you go.
00:30:22.000 What is going on here?
00:30:23.000 It's like a they're there.
00:30:24.000 She's dressed as a king, like a deck of cards, like a king, like king of hearts.
00:30:30.000 It's with an X out of it.
00:30:32.000 I felt like this whole rally gathering.
00:30:35.000 Well, first off, I happened to be driving through.
00:30:36.000 I was like, you know what?
00:30:37.000 I'm going to stop.
00:30:38.000 You know, this seems like a fun protest to go to.
00:30:41.000 And I took a bunch of footage, but these people are dressed up.
00:30:43.000 It's a clown show.
00:30:45.000 And you can't take these people seriously.
00:30:47.000 So I actually walked up to these people and asked them what a woman was.
00:30:50.000 They didn't like that very much.
00:30:51.000 And then afterwards, I asked him how Trump was a felon.
00:30:54.000 Couldn't answer that either.
00:30:56.000 So he was wearing that.
00:30:57.000 But it was really interesting to see how many lies were on these signs and just these people being indoctrinated on a level that I don't even think they understand.
00:31:07.000 What's going on?
00:31:08.000 Hold on.
00:31:08.000 Can you put the what oh what up again, Mikey?
00:31:10.000 You have to walk me through what I'm seeing.
00:31:12.000 What a one.
00:31:13.000 What's with the costumes?
00:31:15.000 So this is, I don't even know what this is, but they have these blow-up costumes and there's like hundreds of them.
00:31:21.000 And they hundreds of them.
00:31:23.000 And these people are just dressed up as it.
00:31:25.000 But there's this clip that I found that was pretty funny.
00:31:28.000 I'll have to find it to send for the show, but it's where one of these Antifa people are dressed up in one of these outfits, and Ice had to spray the pepper spray in the vent tube.
00:31:38.000 But yeah, these people are, you can't take them serious.
00:31:41.000 The amount of lies that are just being pushed at these public gatherings.
00:31:45.000 Well, namely that Trump is somehow a king.
00:31:48.000 And we're going to debunk that because it's important.
00:31:51.000 I actually tried to watch CNN and MSNBC and try and get a sense of what their argument is that makes Trump a king to them.
00:32:00.000 And I don't think they have a cohesive argument or a coherent one at least.
00:32:05.000 Yeah, I keep saying it's ironic that the minority party, Democrat Party in America right now is the one shutting down the government.
00:32:11.000 Then that same party is taking to the streets protesting that Trump's a king.
00:32:15.000 I mean, here's the thing.
00:32:17.000 We live in a constitutional republic.
00:32:19.000 It's governed by the Constitution.
00:32:21.000 That's how we set up our form of government, our structure of government.
00:32:25.000 There is a legislative, a judicial, and an executive branch.
00:32:28.000 And in November of 2024, with much credit to Charlie Kirk and the work that Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA did, and honestly, this team cutting up all that footage, 15 billion views of Charlie's content online and on social media.
00:32:45.000 We won the election.
00:32:47.000 Conservatives won.
00:32:48.000 We won the presidency, won all seven swing states.
00:32:51.000 We won a popular vote.
00:32:52.000 We won an electoral landslide.
00:32:55.000 And we held the Senate, 53 votes in the Senate.
00:32:58.000 And we've got a narrow majority, but we have a majority in the House.
00:33:02.000 So when you have those things, that's called political power.
00:33:06.000 And if you don't use political power, then you would be derelict in your duty.
00:33:10.000 So what have we done?
00:33:11.000 We passed a piece of legislation using reconciliation.
00:33:15.000 So we didn't need to get 60 votes in the Senate.
00:33:18.000 The Democrats have done the same thing.
00:33:20.000 It's very common.
00:33:22.000 And we're passing legislation.
00:33:23.000 President Trump has a lot of power as president.
00:33:27.000 He's called the executive branch.
00:33:28.000 Article 2 delineates the powers.
00:33:31.000 And what's crazy is that, you know, Joe Biden, let's go through it.
00:33:37.000 He basically ignored our immigration laws and let in over 10 million illegal immigrants to flood into the nation, just completely ignoring the laws.
00:33:46.000 So allowing an invasion, allowing fentanyl crisis, overdoses.
00:33:50.000 We saw all of these terrible deaths at the hands of illegal immigrants in our communities.
00:33:55.000 They overran all our major cities, costing all of us billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money.
00:34:01.000 Not only that, which would have been enough to call him a tyrant of another kind.
00:34:05.000 Yeah, he was simply turning the other, you know, turning a blind eye to a massive crisis in our country, but he was ignoring the laws.
00:34:12.000 He also had a horrible pull out of Afghanistan, which is perhaps not tyrannical, but it's disgraceful nonetheless.
00:34:20.000 He tried to forgive student loans, even something that Nancy Pelosi said you couldn't do without the legislative branch getting involved and passing a law.
00:34:29.000 He did it anyways.
00:34:30.000 The Supreme Court overruled him, and then he did it.
00:34:33.000 He found another workaround to try and forgive more and more student loans.
00:34:37.000 That means you and I, the taxpayers, are on the hook for people that willingly took debt to go to college and get a useless college degree.
00:34:44.000 Some of them are useful, but most of them are not.
00:34:46.000 Most people do not need to go to college.
00:34:49.000 What else did he do?
00:34:50.000 He did a lot of terrible things.
00:34:52.000 He mandated that we have to take vaccines.
00:34:56.000 He mandated that, well, by the way, he pardoned Anthony Fauci.
00:35:01.000 He pardoned his own son.
00:35:02.000 He pardoned the J6 committee.
00:35:04.000 He sicked his Department of Justice on grandmas that happened to take a picture in a selfie in the Capitol Rotunda.
00:35:11.000 He sicked the FBI on Catholics going into their Catholic masses.
00:35:17.000 How much more evidence do we really need to show that Joe Biden did a lot of terrible things?
00:35:22.000 Now we're finding out that our own Intel community was spying on the Senate.
00:35:27.000 They spied on Turning Point USA.
00:35:29.000 This is the government, the levers of government, turning around on the people.
00:35:34.000 We were censored on social media.
00:35:36.000 Thank God for Elon Musk and liberating Twitter and X.
00:35:39.000 But they used coercive government power to censor meta platforms, YouTube, and formerly Twitter, until Elon Musk got to this.
00:35:49.000 So we have lived through a lot of tyranny, not to mention the COVID lockdowns and the mandated vaccines, all of these things.
00:35:57.000 What has President Trump done?
00:35:58.000 He's used executive power that is granted to him by Article 2 of the Constitution to enact executive orders, to send in the National Guard.
00:36:06.000 People do not understand this, but in 1963, JFK sent 17,000 members of the National Guard to desegregate a school.
00:36:14.000 Eisenhower in the 50s did a massive show of the National Guard to desegregate schools.
00:36:20.000 We are not talking about 17,000 troops.
00:36:23.000 We're talking about 300 troops in Chicago or Portland to defend federal offices.
00:36:28.000 That's it.
00:36:29.000 To defend federal facilities that are getting attacked and vandalized by radical leftists on the streets.
00:36:37.000 That's not the same thing.
00:36:39.000 If these cities do not want National Guard troops, then guess what?
00:36:42.000 You can cooperate with federal authorities in those cities and protect the buildings.
00:36:49.000 Arrest the scum that are attacking those buildings.
00:36:51.000 If you don't want ICE to be raiding your cities, then cooperate.
00:36:56.000 When you arrest an illegal immigrant, hand them over to ICE when they have a detainer on them.
00:37:00.000 It's very, very simple.
00:37:02.000 So the left wants to play victim and say Trump is this tyrant and he's so corrupt and this and that.
00:37:07.000 Here's the other thing.
00:37:08.000 I think they have another issue with the Department of Justice going after Comey and John Bolton.
00:37:13.000 Well, guys, they shouldn't have broken the law.
00:37:16.000 It's very, very simple.
00:37:17.000 It's very, very simple.
