Andrew Colvitt
The Charlie Kirk show starts now.
Terrence Bates
Who is running the show now in the Democratic Party, in the Senate, in the House?
Andrew Colvitt
No one really knows. I mean, my party's always been opposing shutting our government down. Yes, he voted no. But eight senators who said they consulted him daily go and vote yes. One of those people is his number two. He's not going to do that without Senator Schumer sign up. And then, conveniently, all eight of those senators aren't up for re election in 2026. This is the D.C. way. Senator Schumer could have blocked this if he had wanted to. It undermines the narrative that this was a Trump shutdown. If eight Democratic senators could have ended it, we should have kept the pressure on.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
We're told that the Supreme Court extended its temporary pause on the Trump administration.
Andrew Colvitt
Sending out those SNAP benefits to more.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Than 40 million Americans, meaning that this.
Andrew Colvitt
Is a temporary victory for the White House. They do not have to send out.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
These SNAP benefits that many count on until at least 11.59pm on Thursday. But it is possible the shutdown ends by then. It looks like it's moving that way, but of course, Brett, in Washington, D.C. in 2025. Nothing is done until it's done.
Donald Trump
There's never going to be a country like what we have right now. And does that Republicans have to talk about it.
Andrew Colvitt
And does that mean the H1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with. With tens of thousands.
Donald Trump
Also do have to bring in talent.
Andrew Colvitt
When we have plenty of talent.
Donald Trump
No, you don't know.
Andrew Colvitt
Of course, there's so much H1B abuse. You would not believe what I saw.
Andrew Cypher
When I was in Silicon Valley.
Andrew Colvitt
It's, it is insane. It's obviously a program to try and replace US Workers with basically slave labor that can't ever escape. It's like H1B abuse is great.
Donald Trump
I didn't get laid off for lack of work.
Andrew Colvitt
I got laid off because somebody cheaper could do my job.
Terrence Bates
We met with this group of workers who all had to train replacements.
Andrew Colvitt
I was given the news that in 90 days my job was over and I had to train my replacement. Never in my life did I imagine.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Until this happened at Disney that I.
Andrew Colvitt
Could be sitting at my desk and somebody would be flown in from another country, sit at my same desk and chair, and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating, demoralizing thing I've ever gone through my life. What the President has said, he said very clearly, we want the very best of the brightest to make America their home. We want them to build great companies and so forth. But I don't want companies to fire 9,000American workers and then to go and say we can't find workers here in America. That's a story.
Donald Trump
You can't take people off an unemployment, like an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory, we're going to make missiles, or I'm going to, how do we ever do it before? You can't just say, a country's coming in, going to invest $10 billion to build a plant and get to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years and they're going to start making missiles. It doesn't work that well.
Andrew Colvitt
The American space program, the program that was the first to put a human being on the surface of the moon, was built by American citizens, some German and Jewish scientists who had come over during World War II, but mostly by American citizens who had built an incredible space program with American talent. This idea that American citizens don't have the talent to do great things, you have to import a foreign class of servants and professors to do these things. I just reject that. I actually think we invest in our own people. We can do a lot of good.
Trisha McLaughlin
Under the Trump administration, we've sped up our process and added integrity to the visa programs, to green cards, to all of that. But also more people are becoming naturalized under this administration than ever before. More people are becoming citizens because we're not just streamlining and building some processes back into our immigration policies. We're also making sure that these individuals that are coming into our country and get that privilege, that they actually are here for the right reasons.
Andrew Colvitt
Unskilled worker, what you're saying, if there's an unskilled worker who's unemployed versus a highly trained or highly educated, you know, engineer, physicist, those are two different kinds of people who would be taking two different kinds of jobs. What he said is objectively true. You couldn't pluck anyone off the street and put them in a high tech, highly specialized, high trained area in that.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Moment, maybe you could train them over time.
Rob Schneider
But if you have someone that's already.
Andrew Colvitt
Trained that wants to pay 100 grand to come here, and you could do it.
Tom Simon
While.
Andrew Colvitt
Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information coming from every angle with the will to deceive, fear not, you found the place for truth. The voice of a generation that still has the will to believe in the greatest country in the history of the world. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Buckle up. Here we go. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. I am joined on set today by two absolute legends and rock stars. Just. This is just. This is just the start. Mikey McCoy, Chief of Staff, Turning Point USA. And Joe Bob, Ty Lefi.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Where's the other legend and rock star?
Andrew Colvitt
You're looking at him. Joe Bob, Ty Leifey, host of Turning Point tonight, which you can check out on Real America's Voice and all the. All the other streaming podcast places on Real America's Voice. And you're also a comedian and you are a Turning Point USA contributor. Welcome, man.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Thanks for having me.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, you have been. You were on with Charlie a number of times on this show, so it's wonderful to have you back on. And you're actually touring with Megyn Kelly right now.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah, yeah. And that has been a wonderful and wild experience. Obviously, you know, the only reason she reached out and asked was because, you know, Charlie was supposed to do a stop. And so I can't, you know, take, whoa, this is me. I'm super awesome and great.
Andrew Colvitt
But you are.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I don't know about that. But, you know, again, really, really appreciate Megan for reaching out and offering such a gracious role on the tour, but specifically because Charlie was set to do a stop with her later on this month, I believe. Yeah.
Mikey McCoy
And you used to do the tour stops for Charlie. I did open up. And you always loved that about.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I used to open up. At the risk of going on a tangent, Mikey McCoy, one of the greatest people I know and also was the only reason that I ever would have gotten fired because at those tour stops, he would suggest jokes to me and claim, hey, this is what. This is what we want here. And I would never be able to read whether or not he was serious.
Andrew Colvitt
But were they good jokes?
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
They were good jokes. But then I would go in and ask Charlie and he'd say, do not say that. And I would go on with something else.
Andrew Colvitt
This happened multiple times.
Mikey McCoy
They were good jokes, though.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
They were good jokes.
Andrew Colvitt
So you're also famous because at, you know, Berkeley Antifa is in the news at UC Davis. You were taking the video of them smashing the glass. Antifa smashing the glass at our UC Davis stop. What was that, 2023.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
That was 2023. And that just shows how green and naive that I was.
Andrew Colvitt
And you were like, you got really close to the.
Mikey McCoy
We both were. We were there together, me and Joe.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Mikey. Mikey knew better. Like, I was Pressed up against the glass. It was like they were. They're coming up to the door. They'd broken through the barricade outside. They were coming up to the glass doors. And I was like, okay, cool, there's doors here. This should, you know, stop them.
Andrew Colvitt
Not thinking in my head.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Not thinking in my head that they were going to smash the glass in on my face.
Mikey McCoy
I was standing back a. Yeah, Joe Bob was getting hit with Shar.
Andrew Colvitt
Oh, yeah. The best part is where Joe Bob just goes, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah, I believe Greg Gutfeld made fun of that on his show later that evening. Because I was again, kind of like, is this happening? Yeah. And yeah, that was a. That was an interesting experience, to say the least.
Andrew Colvitt
The. Oh, what's interesting? Anyways, it's fine. I'm getting texts and distracted. It doesn't matter. So listen, we have a lot of things to do in the news today. And I want to get all. I want to get through it because we have a packed show. We got Trisha McLaughlin coming on at second half of this hour as well, to talk about Operation Midway Blitz. Huge actual success story there that I don't think is getting enough attention. And then we have actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who. I'm just going to let you just riff with him. That's my plan.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I was with him Monday.
Andrew Colvitt
That's my plan. And then we also have Ali Beth Stuckey joining us. It's going to be a good time. And yeah, we've got some great clips of you and you and Charlie laughing it up. Joe Bob, you should. We should put these images up, if you have them. Just because once. Once we look at this, this is you and Charlie laughing. Joe Bob and Charlie. I don't have pictures like this with Charlie. Cause I'm not as funny as you. But do you want me to tell.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
You the story of what we were talking about there?
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah. Which one? That first clip.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
That first clip. And I know the radio audience can't see it, but we're just.
Andrew Colvitt
We're laughing because.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
So in this particular clip, I was showing Charlie all of the things that he would sometimes do wrong on campuses. Because I would. At this point in time, I was kind of mingling with the crowd, trying to like, get in with the trantifa folks and ask them questions. And Charlie, in this particular clip, saw me in the audience and waved. As in, like, I know that guy. He's my friend. And I'm like, dude, stop.
Andrew Colvitt
I'm supposed to be incognito.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Stop.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, because you would go out on campus as kind of the like you would, you would present left leaning. You were like well I wouldn't necessarily. You were left coded.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
It was, it was.
Andrew Colvitt
But you're not white.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
It was the racism in their hearts. A brown guy with earrings can't possibly agree with Charlie Kirk.
Andrew Colvitt
Right.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
And so yeah I was able to talk to people and in this particular clip I was showing Charlie, hey, don't.
Andrew Colvitt
Don'T do this because don't out me.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah, this is very obvious and it's going to cause a problem for me.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, no it absolutely it's good to call that out. And Charlie would love to kind of like mess with people. And anyway so we have news to get to and I think listen, there's Epstein News. There's H1B news. News like Dems are actually in disarray because the government's about to open up today which is everybody's pointing fingers at them and we should absolutely encourage them to fight amongst each other. I think that's really important. But one thing that is very close to my heart and I think it was close to Charlie's heart. I know it was, is this H1B discussion. So I want to play this cut and this is coming up now because you know Trump's talking about 600,000 Chinese students and colleges and H1B and I, I want to get your reaction in the audience. So please we're going to be reading your emails here and reacting to them live on air. This would so Freedom Charlie Kirk.com Freedom Charlie Kirk.com Send us your emails please. Let's go ahead and play. It's a little bit of a longer clip. 228 this is President Trump on with Laura Ingraham talking about H1B visas.
Donald Trump
Republicans have to talk about it.
Trisha McLaughlin
And does that mean the H1B visa.
Andrew Colvitt
Thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to ra wages for American workers you can't flood the country with with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.
Donald Trump
Also do have to bring in talent.
Andrew Colvitt
When we have plenty of talented people.
Mikey McCoy
No you don't.
Donald Trump
No you don't. We don't have talented people. No you don't have, you don't have certain talents and you have to. People have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment like an unemployment line and say I'm going to put you into a factory. We're going to make missiles or I'm going to put how do we ever do it before?
Tom Simon
Well let me.
Donald Trump
I'll Give you an example, in Georgia, they raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out. They had people from South Korea that made batteries all their lives. You know, making batteries are very complicated. It's not an easy thing, and very dangerous. A lot of explosions, a lot of problems. They had like five or six hundred people, early stages to make batteries and to teach people how to do it well. They wanted them to get out of the country. You're going to need that, Laura. I mean, I know you and I disagree on this. You can't just say a country's coming in, going to invest $10 billion to build a plant and get to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years and they're going to start making missiles. It doesn't work that well.
Andrew Colvitt
All right, so it's a longer clip, but there was a lot there. Right. We're talking about, do Americans have the necessary skills in these high tech environments? I think that's ultimately what he's getting at. And what do you do about H1BS? So this is a hugely contentious issue. There's people of good FAI faith on both sides of it. Joe, Bob, you're not white. What's your take on it? Well, it's the second time I said that, but nobody got. I didn't get a reaction.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Hold on, let me put a qualifier in there. As Libswood, as the son of an immigrant, I will say this. Can we have two thoughts in our head at one time? I think this audience is smart enough to be able to have two thoughts simultaneously. One, yes, we want these jobs to go to Americans. We want these jobs to go to American citizens. And at the same time, I think this is one of Charlie's biggest points when he wrote this book called College is a Scam, saying we are not educating the people in this country in the way that is going to be beneficial to their future jobs in this country. So on one hand, I want all these jobs to go to American people. On the other hand, we gotta fix our education system so that these people can be qualified. Because that really seems to be Trump's main point there is that, well, we've, we don't have enough qualified people to do all of these jobs. And I want those people to be qualified and be Americans. But the problem is our university system and our education system is so bogged down with liberal woke nonsense that we unfortunately don't sometimes. And Trump would say it don't have the talent. And I think that that's possible, but it's going to take reevaluating where our education system is in order to bring Americans up to speed so we don't need to farm out or outsource any of these jobs.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, I completely agree. We were big advocates when Charlie was around, of course, trade schools of tech, trade schools. You know, the. I think there is a misalignment between our higher education system and the jobs that exist in the economy. There is absolutely truth to that. And by the way, robotics is coming, robotics is coming, automation is coming. We need to be thinking about that too. We're going to be blowing the brakes today. Taking your emails, Freedom Charlie. Kirk.com so check out, check us out there. Please send us your thoughts on the H1B debate. I want to tell you really quickly about Patriot Mobile. Our good friends there. Patriot Mobile, they are the only Christian conservative wireless provider in the country. They have been great friends of this show for a long time. Glenn and the team are fantastic and they've been doing this for 12 years. So you can keep your phone, you can upgrade your phone with them. You're going to be calling Americans as we talk about this. It's an American call center. They'll make it all easy for you. Go to patriotmobile.com charlie. Use promo code charlie for a free month of service. That's promo code Charlie for a free month of service. Or you can call them at 972 Patriot. Call them at 972 Patriot. Get the dual sim for the love. Get the dual sim. It's what I use. It is the best. 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. Or go to patriot mobile.com charlie and get a free month of service with Patriot Mobile today. We'll be right back. I am an immigrant and I am against the importation of most of the engineers working in Silicon Valley. For years I've watched qualified engineers being passed over for cheaper imported workers, primarily from India. Well, the India thing is like another big touch point because India is by far and away, I think it's like 70% of the H1Bs are held by Indians. Yeah, you got 1.5 billion Indians on the planet and a lot of them want to come here and work here. Real quick, I want to tell you about why refi private student loan debt in the US totals about $300 billion. About 45 billion of that is labeled as distressed. Why refi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others simply will not touch. They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay. And that is the key here folks. So they're not going to just give you a one size fits all thing. They're going to talk to you. They're going to look at your credit, they're going to look at your ability to pay your monthly budget and they're going to take your existing student loan and they are going to make it so that you can make monthly payments that fit within your budget. So that is the key. Other people don't do that. They say, here's what it's going to cost, here's what we're doing. They will ensure interest rates under 6%. They even let you skip a payment every six months up to 12 times with no penalty. Please check them out. They're great patriots. They support the show. They Support Turning Point USA, amazing people. 888 yrefi34 888 yrefi34 or log on to yrefy.com that's yrefi.com welcome back radio in one second. All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're getting your emails here. Freedom. Charliekirk.com Larry says you join the military. They train us after the navy. The company trained us to run machines, not a bunch of foreigners. Thanks. So anyways, that's so it says war room had great input. This from sunny companies in Georgia, Hyundai plant hiring people on H1B visas and having them live as indentured servants. This is totally true. I mean this happens all the time where companies will say, oh, we're just, you know, we're bringing these skilled workers and they, these people are living like, you know, slaves basically. And it's, we shouldn't allow that in our country. Go ahead.
Mikey McCoy
Yeah, just, I mean it's also a numbers thing. So it's just like you brought up India, India's middle class, literally equivalent to the United States is almost our entire U.S. population. And it's just the numbers don't really add up. You can't import enough people and just expect that America will stay the same. But then on top of that, it's, we'll claim capitalism but it's actually corporatism which is just, it's, they're looking for cheap labor. It's what it is and it's a problem because it's also just like a violation of human rights that the, you're bringing in somebody because it's cheaper and they can do the job equivalent to you. They can't do it better than you, but they can do it cheaper than you.
Andrew Colvitt
So then we'll import them I got an email here from Krista, says hi, Andrew, Mike and all the Charlie Kirk show team want to start off by saying you're doing an amazing job. Thank you, thank you, thank you. She goes on and on. Very kind. Thank you, Krista. But then she says my question is about the. A very apparent disconnect between the MAGA base and what's coming out of the White House. She's talking about H1B visas, the economy, 50 year mortgages. I know that Charlie was an advocate to Trump. So a lot of people are talking about this online. That Charlie was the voice of the base. We really did aspire to be that, by the way, to be the voice of the base and to make sure the admin was connected to all of you out in the audience. That's still going on. I would just say that, you know, look to some of the clips that are coming out. For example, from J.D. vance on immigration. Right. So that, for example, this is a little bit longer clip, 40 seconds long. 186. This is JD Vance at Ole Miss. These messages are in the admin still. And so we got to kind of parse through the signal and the noise here. 186 let in about a million legal immigrants into the United States of America every single year. And I think the evidence is pretty clear that a lot of those immigrants are actually undercutting the wages of American workers. It's one of the reasons why the President of the United States. It's one of the reasons why the President, United States and a lot of us in the administration have encouraged H1B reform. Because if you look at the H1B visa, what it's supposed to be. What it's supposed to be is that you have a super genius who's studying at an American university, who's working at a great company. You want that super genius to stay in the United States of America and not go somewhere else. What it's actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50% discount to an American citizen. I don't think that we should be hiring accountants from foreign countries when we've got accountants right here in the United States that would love to work for a good wage. All right, so I listen, I am completely on board with America is for Americans. But I have to put a piece of evidence here to that. We all need to struggle with. Here. Go throw up. Image 239. Joe. Bobby, you can look at my screen if it's. If you need. This is it UCSD's Math 2 course. It teaches grade school math, grades one through eight. Two freshmen. Okay, this is from the university's own report. 29% of students got seven plus two equals blank plus six wrong. So seven plus two is obviously nine. So it would be three plus six. But 25% of the students got that wrong. 61%. It's a large majority. Couldn't round 374518 to the nearest hundred, which would be 374. 537% of students couldn't subtract fractions. USD US UCSD is ranked as the nation's fifth best public university. And this tweet concludes by Universities are cooked. So there has been a degradation of our own talent development system. To your point, college is a scam and we are seeing the fruits of that. We are paying the piper. At some point, the debt must be paid.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Well, yeah, and I think, just to reiterate, my priority would be to train Americans to do American jobs. What I think I'm trying to say with the nuance between what President Trump is saying is I think we're trying to understand where he's coming from.
Andrew Colvitt
Right.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
That's. That's, I think, my basis here. But, yeah, at the end of the day, if you don't have an education structure that allows students to be able to succeed in the workforce to. Then what is the education structure like?
Andrew Colvitt
Okay, cool.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
You know, all of the genders and all of the, you've colored your hair and you've done all that sort of stuff, but you don't actually have any skill, tangible skill, to be applied to the American workforce. That's where you need to reset the university system.
Mikey McCoy
Yeah, we got an email. It said america first means Americans First. And I somewhat agree with that. I totally agree. And look, my grandfather, he had a. He helped build, you know, the spaceships during the 80s. And he. He had no skill, he had no experience. He went in there, he didn't know geometry, he didn't know any of this stuff. And he tells these hilarious stories where he's like, I just had to figure it out. Look, same thing was for me when I first started working for Charlie. I literally had no idea how to properly write an email, how to book a rental car, how to do any of this stuff. We figure it out. Americans figure it out. Americans first.
Andrew Colvitt
America First. We'll be right back.
Terrence Bates
Trump Media just signed a massive $6.4 billion deal with Yorkville Acquisition Corporation and Crypto.com, the crypto platform that's trusted by millions of users worldwide. They're teaming up to acquire up to $6.4 billion in CRO to establish America's first publicly traded CRO. Trevor Treasury, Trump Media Group CRO strategy once complete, this new company will be the largest publicly traded CRO holder out there. So if you're ready to join the crypto revolution, head to crypto.com today and be part of this historic move. That's crypto.com. don't wait. For more information on the proposed business combination, check out Yorkville Acquisition Corporation's public filings. Terrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice news break. Thanks so much for being along for the ride. The federal government could reopen as soon as today if the US House passes a bill to fund the government through the end of January and President Trump immediately signs that measure. A vote is expected to happen by this evening after the Senate passed the compromise, the compromise bill on Monday and Speaker Mike Johnson called House lawmakers back to Washington, D.C. in the meantime, from planes to trains to motorcycles, members of the House are doing whatever it takes to get back to the nation's capital for today's vote because they shut down.
Andrew Colvitt
The government, the Democrats. The flights are too unreliable. So I'm going to ride on a motorcycle. It's going to take about 16 hours or so.
Rob Schneider
It's going to be a little chilly.
Andrew Colvitt
But I will do my duty. I'm getting back to D.C. we're going to get this country back on track.
Terrence Bates
That was Republican Wisconsin Congressman Derek Van Orden. He's scheduled to arrive back in Washington, D.C. in just a couple of hours after spending the night in Pennsylvania. Coming from Wisconsin, by the way. If and when this government funding bill is enacted, eight Republican senators whose phones were spied on as part of the Biden administration's January 6th investigation stand to get a $500,000 payout. The legislation would retroactively make it illegal for the Justice Department to have access those records, allowing the senators to sue the DOJ for up to a half million bucks per violation. Well, that's going to do it for your headlines. As always, we appreciate having you along for the ride. I'm Terrence Bates. We'll have more headlines coming up here in just a little bit.
Andrew Colvitt
This movement will not be silenced. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show. All right. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're going to be joined by Trisha McLaughlin in just a second. But first, I want to tell you about our friends over at TikTok. You see, Charlie built a thriving community through conversation. It's not something that happened overnight. He had to work for it. But it happened over time, and then it grew into snowball. He had one of the best communities online through TikTok. TikTok offers opportunities for respectful exchange of ideas, and through that, opportunities for community. You'll find creators who teach and encourage. A carpenter passing on his craft. A mom explaining how to make a budget stretch or a garden showing us how to bring a backyard back to life. Different stories, same drive. People want to connect. That's what social media at its best. We know a lot of bad things about social media, but social media at its best is about people connecting and building community. Freedom to speak what we know, hear each other out. That's the power of TikTok. It gives everyone a seat at the table, a place to speak, to listen, and to remind each other of what connections look like. Conversations build community, and connections build communities and connections. Well, I almost got that right. Portions of the Charlie Kirk show are sponsored in part by TikTok. And by the way, I think Charlie probably helped win the election in 2024 through TikTok because it was so. Just exceptional during the election.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
He was the third biggest TikTok.
Andrew Colvitt
It was the entire Trump campaign. Charlie, then Kamala. Pretty crazy.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
And then, like, Taylor Swift.
Andrew Colvitt
No, he was bigger than Beyonce.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah.
Andrew Colvitt
We are joined by the great Trisha McLaughlin, who I've known for a long time. She's been doing amazing work at D. Tricia, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Trisha McLaughlin
Andrew, thank you for having me.
Andrew Colvitt
You put out a tweet yesterday that I think was amazing. 182. And I don't think it's getting enough attention. I mean, your tweet went pretty viral, but just in general, I haven't heard enough people talking about it. It says, we aren't leaving Chicago. There's all these rumors that were, like, thrown in the towel or whatever. So you just wanted to put the line in the sand and say, no, we're not. Since the start of Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, homicides are down 16%. Shootings are down 35%. Robberies down 41%. Carjacking's down almost 50%. Almost half. So 48%. Transit crime down 20%. Trisha McLaughlin, you are probably the most capable spokesman for DHS. That's my personal opinion. You got a lot of great. We love Tom Homan and Chris, you know, I'm not trying to pick a favorite, but okay, I am, because I think you're great at this. But tell. Tell us, Spike the football, because people need to understand how Successful this operation has truly been.
Trisha McLaughlin
And President Trump actually took to Truth Social last night to point out these exact statistics. And this is what the media doesn't want to tell you is J.B. pritzker and Brandon Johnson, the mayor out of Chicago, failed to do their job and refused to do their job for years. And Chicagoans and Illinois citizens were living in fear. You just saw yourself, carjackings, 50% down. The law enforcement on the ground who have been vilified. There's been obstruction from J.B. pritzker, from Brandon Johnson. It's not just the rhetoric themselves demonizing and vilifying our law enforcement, the actual obstruction themselves, not letting our men and women into the jails to remove these violent criminals. And yet these are the results our men and women are delivering. It really is remarkable. And I know the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times would love to tell the American people that we're bending the knee and we're going to get up and leave Chicago. Absolutely no way we're gonna stay. We're not going anywhere. But we'll also be going to other sanctuary cities here shortly.
Andrew Colvitt
Ooh, ooh, I love that. Please feel, feel free to break some news, Trisha, if you want to name some names, name some cities, but I'll let you think about that for one second. I also want to, I also want to shout out, though it's not just Chicago that's having. Go throw up. Image 247. Trump admins. Memphis Safe Task Force locates 101 missing children in 40 days, according to U.S. marshals. Throw up. Image 246. Since Trump began his crack, his crime crackdown in Memphis, murder has dropped 52% and robbery has plummeted 69%, per an analysis of data by the Daily Caller. And we've seen this obviously in D.C. as well. When you get tough on crime, criminals flee and they scatter and they stop doing the things that they've been getting away with with impunity because people are taking it seriously. This is such a winning message. Absolutely. Go for it, Tricia.
Trisha McLaughlin
I mean, this is just common sense policy. If you remove illegal aliens, those who break the law, those criminals off the street, you're naturally going to have less crime. And it is stunning that every single time, instead of actually doing their jobs and protecting the men, women and families who've elected these politicians, instead they decide to vilify those who actually come in and do their job for them. I mean, what you've seen out of Los Angeles as well, crime plummeting There, Gavin Newsom, of course, denying that. And we're going to continue to do this across the country. But I do want to point out the death threats and the violence that our law enforcement has been facing. Andrew. An 8,000% increase in death threats against our law enforcement. We talked about this before. A 1000% increase in assaults against our law enforcement. We're just talking about, of course, the successes out of Chicago. But just last weekend, a criminal legal alien was shooting at our law enforcement. Our law enforcement was facing mobs. They were getting bricks thrown at them. They were otherwise being assaulted. Paint cans thrown at their vehicles, which can turn deadly when they can't see what's on the road in front of them. It's not just dangerous, of course, for the law enforcement, it's dangerous for the public. But where do you hear. You don't hear J.B. pritzker or Brandon Johnson condemning that. You don't hear them condemning these foreign terrorist organizations who put bounties on our officers heads. You just continue to see them demonize our law enforcement.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, and we actually have a clip from Brandon Johnson doing exactly that. And I want to make sure I pull it up. This is Brandon. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just asked the United nations to intervene and stop ICE. The United Nations. Trisha 201. Government's Immigration Enforcement has been marked by violence and an assault on the dignity of all Chicagoans.
Terrence Bates
I call on this council to hold.
Andrew Colvitt
The federal government of the United States.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
To the same standards of accountability you.
Andrew Colvitt
Apply elsewhere in the world. No country should be above international law. I urge the Human Rights Council to.
Terrence Bates
Consider additional measures of accountability, including a special session to examine the worsening human rights crisis in the United States.
Andrew Colvitt
Okay, so this guy has an approval rating, Trisha, of about like negative 6. And yet he has the gall, like a total globalist. By the way, what a, what a, what a revelation of that. Just that the, you know, nationalist conservative populism, the like we love America, America first mindset versus the globalist mindset right there. But, but okay, he's condemning you for. Carjacking's down almost 50%, homicides down, shootings down, robberies down. So what is he upset about, Tricia?
Trisha McLaughlin
Oh, it's so embarrassing for him to be saying that. But by the way, where was he condemning the humanitarian crisis that Joe Biden and Mayorkas manufactured? Down at our southern border where children were being trafficked. Hundreds of thousands of children missing in the system, likely being exploited, trafficked, many of whom are still missing today. Secretary Noemi and President Trump have found about 20,000. And we're working on very closely with Secretary Kennedy on that initiative. But where was He when there's 100,000Americans every single year who are dying of fentanyl? What about that humanitarian crisis? He suddenly is silent on that. And not to mention the violence that we see on his own streets, created really by his rhetoric, his conduct, and the fact that he is a revolving door of justice, a catch and release policy that his sheriffs and his local and state law enforcement can't actually do anything. They'll arrest these individuals and the next day they go back onto the streets to reperpetuate those same crimes.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they're nowhere to be seen on those because it's all tribal. It's all our team versus your team. Nobody's putting the American people first except for the good folks of ICE and dhs. So we love you guys and we have your back 100%. You know that. I want to get into something with you, Trisha. I didn't prep you for this, so I apologize. But it's something that comes to mind is we're talking about these blue, blue states, blue cities. You see this in Chicago, you see this in California, where you get these volunteers on the left and what they do is they stock ICE vehicles or DHS vehicles and then bad things happen, rammings happen, or, you know, the law enforcement feel threatened that their physical safety is being threatened. And you see these scuffles happen and then they run onto like Aaron Burnett show on CNN and they cry victims when really they're impeding law enforcement. And there's whole networks that their whole job is to try and identify the vehicles, trying to alert the community to stay indoors or whatever. I don't know what they're, you know, and they think they're doing this social good by protecting illegal immigrants. What is being done about this? What can be done about this? It feels to me, Trisha, that this is a pure violation of the law because they are impeding the word of law enforcement on purpose. And they call it community activism.
Trisha McLaughlin
You're absolutely right. It's obstruction of justice. And of course, we've seen this with Big Tech as well. We see that there is these ICE tracking apps when they act like it's simply information sharing, when really it's handing on a silver platter intelligence information about our law enforcement so that those criminal legal aliens, including highly sophisticated ambitious gangs like MS.13 and Trend Aragua, can use that to target our law enforcement. And you made mention of this, Andrew But I think it's really important for listeners and viewers to know is that it's not just our law enforcement who's being targeted. It's their children, it's their spouses. We see that on the dark Web where their law enforcement children go to school is being put on there where their spouses work. And so they are targeting them not only a professional level, but a personal level. You mentioned the stalking. We've seen quite a bit of that. People even going, taking to Instagram Live as they follow these law enforcement members home. It's something that the Department of Justice is working very closely on. But there's something even broader going on and it's who is funding these individuals and who are funding these networks. Secretary Bessant has been incredible on this issue. I think we're going to get to answer and give that to the American people, hopefully here very shortly.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're dealing with this on the antifa front. After Charlie's assassination, I think that the these funding networks, we're gonna see complete overlap. It's the same ideologies, it's the same funding networks. Once they kind of disperse into this loose network of people, I think we're gonna see all roads lead back to a bunch of the same people and a bunch of the same organizations. So I commend your bringing that up and I commend Scott Bessant and Treasury for doing that. I was actually over there. I saw some of the binders that they're stacking up. I wanna get your reaction really quick, though. This is Latin street gangs in Chicago are now ordering members to shoot on site. When I is conducting raids, 249 HS.
Donald Trump
Says a man drove up in a.
Andrew Colvitt
Jeep and fired shots at Border Patrol agents. Now, after shell casings and video were collected from the scene, multiple agencies tracked.
Donald Trump
The shooter and a suspect is in custody.
Rob Schneider
An illegal alien that has a past.
Andrew Colvitt
Felony conviction for firearms. This suspect's in custody and they're pursuing.
Rob Schneider
Leads based on this suspect.
Donald Trump
It appears he was in the jeep.
Rob Schneider
And he was armed.
Andrew Colvitt
DHS released pictures of federal vehicles damaged after at least four were rammed this.
Donald Trump
Week and others were pelted with bricks and cans of paint.
Andrew Colvitt
And Border Patrol agents were alerted that.
Donald Trump
The street gang Latin Kings directed their membership to shoot.
Andrew Colvitt
I wanted to cut that off. They're about to say shoot on site. Tricia, what is your reaction to that? 15 seconds more of the same.
Trisha McLaughlin
It's disturbing. It's despicable. We just saw bounties in Our officers heads for up to $50,000. Someone's going to get killed and our law enforcement is all over this Homeland Security fb. But we do need our state and local law enforcement to also step up and help protect our federal law enforcement.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, well said. We need to stay on this like white on rice. I'm so glad you guys are on it. Thank you Tricia for joining us. You're the best. We'll see you soon.
Trisha McLaughlin
See you soon, Andrew. Thanks for having me.
Andrew Colvitt
All right, I want to tell you about one of our partners, Done With Debt. When you're buried in credit card and loan debt, it's human nature to put it off and procrastinate.

Channeling. We're get, we're getting the messages through folks, please know that. But yeah, from a messaging standpoint, what do you think Joe?
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Well from how we should react is try to understand where he's coming from. Like again, I think Mikey hit it on the nose. The President wants what's best for the American people and sometimes that might look different but ultimately his goal is what is going to benefit the American people the most. And in this instance I want to go back to the same thing. Like Mikey said, we will figure it out. If we have a problem, Americans have the posture and the poise to figure out what that problem is and then identify or identify the problem and then act accordingly. And in this particular instance, yeah, we want Americans to have American jobs and if that means more training and you know, upping the ante and trade schools and anything that's going to ready Americans to do the jobs that are needed that's exactly what it's going to take. And that might not be overnight, but over the course of however long it does take, I think President Trump will be right there with the base in understanding that these jobs ultimately want to be held by Americans.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, well said. This is interesting. This is from dazzling Adonna. I guess I'm going on 70 years old, my husband 72. We married really early. I was 16. My husband was 18. And we have five kids and a bunch of grandkids and sweet, great grandkids. That's amazing. I don't even know if that's legal. But, you know, good for you guys. Maybe, maybe wait till 18. We're gonna welcome back radio. We'll be right back. Bill. Bill says Fellers, Bill here. Love the show. Watch it daily. Thank you, Bill. Appreciate that. A couple things to mention. First, I can can truly understand both sides of the H1B debate. Yes, MAGA should mean America's first, but when we have a generation of young Americans unwilling to work and or believe no matter the job, they believe they should be paid six figures plus, one can see rather quickly why business folks want H1B to be lenient. I'm just gonna push back slightly. Bill, with all due respect, every generation is called lazy. I think that's just like, you know, it's a kind of a generational disconnect. I would say that Gen Z and millennials are willing to work really hard. I've seen it up close and personal. They do have to sort of understand that there's real opportunity and you have to pay them enough to live. I mean, there is a lot of disconnect here too, I think, generationally, where we tend to talk down to generations and sometimes we talk down to boomers, sometimes we talk down to millennials. The only one I really don't talk down to is xers. I have to say, they're pretty bad.
Mikey McCoy
The extras are great.
Andrew Colvitt
The extras are great.
Mikey McCoy
Now, I the Gen Z is not lazy. And this drives me a little mad.
Andrew Colvitt
When people say, well, Bill's a good dude, Bill's great, but we're just a.
Mikey McCoy
Leveraged generation and people take advantage of our generation. And we have record high credit card debt with crushing high percentages. And then on top of that, BNPL programs and student wages.
Andrew Colvitt
Buy now, pay later.
Mikey McCoy
Yeah, buy now, pay later. And then on top of that, that the job market's shrinking. College grads are 58% of them are unemployed in their first year of graduating.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, and you have the AI revolution that's coming and taking a lot of those entry level jobs. Yes.
Mikey McCoy
And then, and then if for the really high performing Gen zers, they can't get a job because it's replaced by an H1B and then so to hear as a Gen Z with all these things facing us that we're complaining and whining and unwilling to work makes us even more mad. I'm just going to be totally.
Andrew Colvitt
So here. Yeah, here's the thing. And we love Gen Z, we love boomers. It's all good. There are, there's just certain underlying economic situations that both generations experienced and they, they, they, they're talking past each other. I think is, is a big thing and we have to understand and appreciate we're millennials. He's a Gen Z. But like the, when you, when you flood your market with cheap money, you debase your currency, you explode your asset values, your equity values and then you, you basically flood the market with foreigners. That is a breakdown of the social compact because you are not guaranteeing, you are, you are giving every advantage to the incumbent economic position which is typically held by boomers. Now it's a little bit, you know, when it started it was the silent generation and now increasingly boomers and old Xers and you are giving an advantage to the incumbent economic position at the expense of the next generation coming behind you. So there has to be a, a better equation that is made. And this is why we're talking about a Gen Z economic moonshot, a Gen Z economic revival because we need them to have skin in the game or else they're going to get radicalized. They're going to go down the Mamdani route, they're going to go down the Imagioni route and they need skin in the game. How do you do that? Well, you get them to buy a home, you get them to get married, have kids. When you do those things. You know, listen, we talked about the three M's. I can claim the three M's a little bit with Charlie because I helped him come up with it. Marriage, mating and mortgage. Those three things are called conservatizing life events by the Brookings Institute. When you do those three things, you become more conservative. Why? Because you care about your community. You care about your, the clean cleanliness of your streets, the quality of the education in your community. You care about the tax rate, those kind of things. Joe Bob, you're married with kids. You understand this well.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
And I appreciate you calling me a millennial. I actually do identify as a based Gen Xer by my own Standard spiritually.
Andrew Colvitt
Gen X. Yeah, but that's exactly kind.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Of the point we were talking about a little bit earlier is like, you're right, those are conservat. I'm not sure the particular version.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah. Conservatizing life events.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Conservatizing life events. I would say my wife is a perfect example of this. She's, you know, tangentially related to the political sphere because she's married to me. But after, after we had kids, after we bought a house and paid property taxes and pay income taxes and then ultimately have kids, my wife, who is not exactly the most politically inclined person, is now all of a sudden super involved. What is going on? How is this going to affect me? How is this going to affect my family? How's this going to affect my kids? Kids and the future that they're going to have in this country?
Andrew Colvitt
Women change a lot when they start having kids. A lot.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah, yeah.
Mikey McCoy
And the other thing too, just with Gen Z is a lot of people complain that Gen Z wants a six figure job as soon as they graduate college. Well, we kind of need it like.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
It.
Mikey McCoy
To afford a home in the US right now, you need to make at least like $115,000 a year. The median income in the United states is around 80,000 a year. Now imagine put yourself in the shoes of a Gen Z or graduating with, you know, $200,000 in college debt with no jobs. And so you're like, to make this work, I need a hundred thousand dollar.
Andrew Colvitt
Job, you know, in order to buy a home in, in the greater Phoenix area, it's I think the medium home. You would need a wage Approximately around the 115, $120,000 a year. And so yeah, $100,000 six figure is not what it once was. But you know, you also need to get to that point. You need to grow, you need to pay your dues. Rob Schneider, a real comedian, joins us next. Don't go anywhere.
Terrence Bates
Welcome back everyone. Terrence Bates here with your Real American Voice. News break. Texas is leading the country when it comes to addressing deed theft. In most states, the crime is considered a civil issue and not a criminal one. Moreover, victims have little to no recourse. But check out this report from WFAA in Dallas, Texas, which sheds light on how a new state law in Texas is looking to change all of that.
Andrew Colvitt
The law creates a new crime called real property theft with stiffer penalties. It requires judges to include addresses and legal descriptions and sentencing orders and gives the state new tools to pursue restitution on behalf of Victims. And for the first time, all county clerks must check photo ID when someone files a deed in person.
Terrence Bates
I am glad that there's something like.
Andrew Colvitt
That now, so that way it can.
Terrence Bates
Help prevent further deed theft. Let's bring in former FBI agent and current private investigator Tom Simon. Tom, good morning.
Tom Simon
Good morning. Thank you so much for having me on.
Terrence Bates
So, look, what's most disturbing about title theft or deed theft in general, is that there really aren't any laws on the books, apart from Texas now that really address this, particularly from a criminal perspective.
Tom Simon
Absolutely. And most police out there, departments, and they're doing God's work, but they're buried in violent crime. And so when someone comes in and says, someone stole the deed to my house, most police officers really aren't equipped to handle that kind of investigation. And the statutes aren't neatly lined up to address this crime.
Terrence Bates
And beyond that, there really aren't any guardrails in place from a county assessor's office standpoint, from a county recorder's office standpoint, in terms of confirming that the person seeking to alter a deed is in fact, the rightful owner of that deed. I hope those are the proper words to use.
Tom Simon
You nailed it, Terrence. And there's no one watching the store at most county clerk's office. By statute, most county clerks, their job is to simply record a deed when it comes in transferring ownership of your home from you to someone else not supposed to be taking a look and seeing. Is that deed legitimate? This new law in Texas provides the county clerk's office with a little more muscle where they can actually begin questioning fraudulent deeds. Maybe it'll prevent some of these fraudulent home transfers where people are actually losing their houses to scammers.
Terrence Bates
Kudos to lawmakers there in Texas. Do you see a move nationally to institute more law similar to what Texas is doing, or at least to address the underlying issue of DT theft?
Tom Simon
I'm hoping as title theft becomes kind of a bigger deal with us promoting this thing on the news and kind of telling these stories like you're doing on your program, that mother state governments are going to take a look at this and realize that they have a real problem on their hands. Their taxpayers are paying a lot of money in property taxes for very little protection from the government for this type of crime.
Terrence Bates
And one of the major challenges is a victim actually realizing that they've been victimized because it is such an insidious crime and such an undercover crime, which is where home title lot comes to.
Tom Simon
Exactly. So criminals can get out there and they can file a deed transferring the ownership of your house out of your name and into the bad guy's name and then go out and get loans on your home. You won't even know this occurred, Terrence, until the foreclosure notices start piling up in your mailbox. So I recommend that everyone figure out a way to monitor their home title and the status of their home title. Looking for changes. I think the best way to do that is a company like Home Title Lock.
Terrence Bates
How does one start the process with Home Title Lock? What are some of the offerings that Home Title Lock is advocating?
Andrew Colvitt
Advertising.
Tom Simon
Home Title Lock has what they call a million dollar triple lock protection where they're going to monitor the status of your home title 24 7. If there's any change whatsoever, like a deed being filed or a lien being placed on your home, you're going to get immediate notification. And if, God forbid, someone is able to actually steal your house from you, they have a US based restoration team that's going to put that house back into your name.
Terrence Bates
And what's most frightening about this is, as I said at the very top, there's little to no recourse once you become a victim. At that point, you're trying to defend your and recoup what's already been stolen.
Tom Simon
Absolutely. Even when you're able to put the bad guys in prison, like when I was an FBI agent, I certainly did that. There's no mechanism in place in the criminal courts to restore that home back into your name. Which is why a service like Home Title Lock is so critical. Because the legal fees to get that done are just astronomical.
Terrence Bates
Good information that. We appreciate you joining us. At the bottom of your screen, folks, you see more information on getting in contact with home title hometitle lock.com newsbreak. You can use the promo code Newsbreak in order to get a title history report. Plus 14 days of protection for free.
Andrew Colvitt
All right, welcome back back to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Colvitt, executive producer of this show, joined by Mikey McCoy, who is the chief of staff Turning Point and Joe Bob, Ty Le Fee. There you go. You got it. He didn't want me to use his last name because it's a hard one.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Well, and also the first name is weird enough to confuse the audience doubly here.
Andrew Colvitt
All right, we're gonna welcome on a real comedian here. Wow. Wow. Yes, it's true. His name is Rob Schneider. He headlined our UC Berkeley event, which all chaos broke loose at that. And you were actually there. I was there as well, so we're have a great conversation. Rob. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. So honored to have you, my friend.
Rob Schneider
Well, thank you for having me. It's an honor to be here. And I was very honored to be at the event at Berkeley at the riot. I mean, the USA riot. I mean the event riot it. The Antipas celebration. I mean, the char. I mean. Well, I said to Charlie, let's go to some more and do some more universities. And he said. I said, let's go to like the craze. Take me to the craziest one.
Andrew Colvitt
And it was his idea.
Rob Schneider
So, well, let's go to Berkeley. And I went like, yeah. And then I had to go to Berkeley alone. That was Charlie's final practical joke on me. And so the great Frank, Frank Turek was there and he. A tremendous human being. I mean, when, you know, when I heard that that was a beautiful speech that he gave at Charlie's memorial, which is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in American history. The memorial, it was so touching and beautiful. It was such an expression of light and love and true friendship. And to meet him in person was really humbling. And also I brought with me because I said, you know, I can't do this on my own. I mean, Charlie's irreplaceable, as everyone knows. So I brought along some professors. One doctor from Oxford was Dr. Andrew Doyle. And then a professor of Professor Peter Boghossian, who wrote the book how to have Difficult Conversations and Almost Impossible Conversations. And it was great. I mean, it was really good. I mean, it was a scary moment. As you guys saw, you know, the people, they call them anti fascists, but they seem to the one fighting, they were throwing these, these explosive devices to make it sound like it was gunshots. These are really creepy, horrible people. And they're obviously paid agitators because a lot of them, they didn't seem like they were Cal Berkeley students. But, you know, the silence from the left, from Governor Newsom is deafening. Where are they? Where is the people that are opposing violence? Where are they? They're not there because, you know, I would think they, they must approve it because it's leftist violence. So it supports their cause. So it's a real testament to where the left is at. Whereas violence from the left. I mean, it's almost like we're in a cold civil war. We are in a cold civil war with only one side shooting. So that's where we're at. But I mean, I have to admit, the police at Berkeley, they Did a good job. But however, they still did not allow. And they allowed these domestic terrorists, that's what they are. You're trying to scare people and intimidate them with tear gas, with things that sound like gunfire, rattling and preventing people from entering an intimidation. That is terrorism. That's domestic terrorism. And why that is not being a priority. From the state of California. They're just silent today, the super majority of Democrats. So I don't know what to say. So here we have. The scariest moment was thankfully we got in there three hours early so that we didn't have to be confronted by that. But how about the kids? The courageous turning point USA Berkeley kids who still win despite all the tear gas and these leftist lunatics who are violently. I mean, talk about. Here's what happened outside, you got agitators, you have. They're screaming. They have very disgusting signs, despicable signs about Charlie Kirk that I won't even repeat. And then you have, you know, and then they're yelling and intimidating and fighting and violence and tear gas. And inside you have people talking about how much they love America, family, God, and how much they love freedom of speech. And they are the anti fascists calling us fascists. And I would just say to your listeners, I think we all know who the real fascists are. Fascists are the ones that stop conversation, that don't want dialogue, that are using, you know, violence to suppress other people's liberties. That's. And silence them. And those are the real definition of fascism.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, I think you said it really, really well, Rob, in this, in this speech that you gave. Let's go ahead and play 146 just to give the audience a little taste of what it was like inside the room. 146.
Rob Schneider
If we are going to have a vibrant society and continue to be the largest economy, the most technologically advanced society in the world, we must protect, protect free speech and debate. We cannot afford to continue people having beliefs persist that are not subject to facts or logic or empirical evidence. And anyone who presents empirical evidence to the contrary gets shut down, censored and subject to violence on the university campus. This has to stop.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah. And what we're talking about here is really the heckler's veto, right? But it's become the assassin's veto. They want to shut us up. They want to us to keep us from doing these events. And I'm so glad guys like you and Joe Bob still have the courage to go do them. And our students, our brave staff. How has this event and the the aftermath and all the, you know, the violence that we saw. How has this personally impacted you, Rob? Has it changed your, your view on things at all?
Rob Schneider
Well, it made me throw out the script and just talk about the emotion of the moment and, and to, to really to meet these courageous students at Berkeley who had the courage to show up and risk themselves and their, risk their, you know, their bodily harm to attend this event, to express their freedom. Because freedom of speech, Andrew, as you know, it's not just the ability for someone to say and express their point of view. And free speech is all speech, not just the speech that the government likes or that the regions or the academics, the leftist academics of Cal Berkeley like. Free speech is all speech. And if it means anything, it also means the right to hear somebody else's free speech. If we silence free speech where you're also not just silencing the speaker, you're also silencing the rights of the listener. And that's something that is really important. At one point yesterday, the Berkeley police, you know, ran into our room where we were in the green room, and they just went right by us, didn't say hi or anything. And it was, you know, a frightening little moment. And they went right into the electrical room and look, because they were thinking that maybe people could get through that way. And I asked them and I said to the Berkeley police officers, I said, can you help the people come in? Because we had sold this event, we could have sold it out, 6,000 tickets. We had to stop at 2,000 because that's all the leftist anti free speech academics and faculty and Board of Regents would let us have. And they still allowed these leftists, the liberals, illegally able to get tickets knowing. So to prevent those seats from being filled with.
Andrew Colvitt
Rob, I have insider info on that and maybe, Joe Bob, you have some on that as well. But what they did two weeks before the event, they made a switch over to the school's ticketing system. They open up the ticketing knowing that all the agitators and protesters are alerted to that, so they can scoop up tickets, leave the seats empty. We had thousands of people that actually were still in line or wanted to get in line that ultimately scattered when the car started backfiring and the bombs started going off and the, and the fireworks. And so they were intentionally sabotaging this event. Joe Bob, you saw this up close?
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Well, yeah, and also too, just a 30,000 foot view. The idea that you're going to get tickets and then not show up up is like comical. Well, what better way to say, hey, my ideas suck, and I don't want to defend them. To not actually show up to the event that you got tickets for and just leave the seats empty.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, and we had. Just so you know, what we usually do is we have a big line of standbys, Rob, where if people don't show up and claim their tickets, the standby line then gets an opportunity to come fill those seats. And we had thousands that wanted to hear from you and Frank Turek and Peter Bozzi. I mean, you know, this is deep blue Berkeley, and there was thousands. And they cannot let that visual get out into the world. They cannot. They cannot. They cannot afford it. They're too fragile. I'm gonna. We're gonna keep you for just a few more minutes in the break. We're gonna take a break from radio More with Rob Schneider in about. All right, welcome back, everybody. For streaming and podcasting, Mikey McCoy, you probably went to more campus stops with Charlie than anybody. Well, Joe Bob, darn it, maybe.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Mikey. Mikey beat me, by the way.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, because. Yeah, but you were doing all the openings. I mean, Rob was here for. For a crazy one. Rob, you're never going to be the same once you go through one of the crazy ones. You're never the same. Mikey, like, tell us, give us your POV on all this.
Mikey McCoy
Yeah, I, I. Well, first off, it's been two months since Utah, and I just. This is the left in their proclivity for violence time and again. And that two months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you're going to show up at a turning point USA event, threaten our attendees, attack our attendees, spit in the face of old ladies coming to peacefully gather at this event to listen to Dr. Frank Turek and Rob Schneider, who are very threatening peace. These are very threatening people. And so we need the full battalions of Antifa to come out to stop this. But then all the while, while this is happening, we knew this event was coming up. Gavin Newsom knew this event was coming up, but he's out in Brazil LARPing as the president of the United States and also just pretending to be something he's not. He can't get his act together. And I'm supposed to believe that Gavin Newsom just turned a blind eye to Antifa? This is the same Gavin Newsom that stopped ICE agents and federal agents from coming into California, but can't stop Antifa from attacking our attendees at our event. I want justice for this. I'm not going to turn a blind eye to this. I want to find out who's paying these antifa people. I want to find out who they are. I want every single one of them arrested who have broken a law. I want justice for this. I am upset, I am mad. This has been two months after this happened, and I do not want antifa at our events like this.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, Rob, what's your take on that?
Rob Schneider
I wish you would have been with me on Fox News this morning. He's just. You said way better than anything I said this morning. No, I think what we have to do is we need to have accountability. We need to find out who's funding this. Because there were people there that are paid agitators and these are domestic terrorists. I mean, it's the very definition of what terrorism is. It's frightening other people. These are, these are American students. These are people at a university, and they have their rights. And these rights, their civil rights are being impeded when you are preventing them from doing their expression of free speech, which is the ability to not just talk, but to hear. And that is a blatant. A blatant violation of civil rights violation. And somebody needs to be held accountable. Absolutely. Now, as far as.
Andrew Colvitt
Go ahead.
Rob Schneider
Our response has to be as a reflection of God's light. And that's what Charlie was. And that's what I was so humbled when I was at university with Charlie because he was there for the love of these kids, because he knew where the future was. He knew that if we lose these kids, we lose everything. And we have to have. Have these kids. And so while the left wants to silence us, it just makes us. I mean, look at all the publicity from yesterday. I think it's pretty obvious to anybody who is, who is not, you know, in a political echo chamber of MSNBC and the liberal left, who the real fascists are. We love America and the love of country. And they, you know, they try to, you know, to group us into some sort of weird, you know, nationalistic negativity. Well, nationalism in its expansion is negative, that's true. But nationalism when your country is under threat is necessary. We have to love our country and protect our country. So in that sense, you know, this is a healthy nationalism. And supporting our kids, young people, to be able to express themselves and to hear opposing viewpoints. And the University of Berkeley has proven themselves to be the shamefully anti free speech. And for the university that really spoke to and started the university free speech movement for all speech, not just, they specifically said, not left or right, but for all speech, it is an absolute shame on that university. And Historians will look back at this moment as the most shameful moment in the history of, of the University of Berkeley. And that's saying a lot.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, guess what, Rob? They couldn't stop us, they couldn't stop you, they couldn't stop our students. So let's just give a little taste of what actually the inside of that auditorium looked like.170. So, Rob Schneider, thank you for your time. I know you got a dash, you're a busy man, but thank you again for your courage, your bravery, your willingness to step forward and serve the country, to serve our students, and to serve Turning Point usa. You're a good man and a great patriot. We thank you.
Rob Schneider
It's an honor to be here. And I will tell you that like it really was. That empty chair next to me broke my heart. And I want to send my love out to Erica and to all the people at Turning Point usa, where it will always feel like it's Wednesday and the day that Charlie passed. But two months later, it really filled me with a conviction for love of country, but it really filled me with the Holy Spirit and all that, that the pressure and all the attention and the love of the people in that room and the love for Charlie and I compared it to, and rightfully so for these young people. Their experience is like Martin Luther King was killed and gave his life fighting for sanitation workers so that they could have a decent living. So they were able to be able to, you know, take care of their families in a way where it was decent. And Charlie Kirk wanted children, wanted young minds to be able to unlock themselves from this academia that was force feeding them to be advocates to an illiberal policy that was anti American, anti western civilization. And we have to continue to expand freedom and to remind people how precious this experiment in freedom is. And Charlie knew that better than anybody. He was a living, breathing, brilliant, modern day founding father. And I'm so glad that I was able to tell him that before he passed and that that missing chair, that empty chair, for me it'll always be Wednesday as well. So I want to send love out to everybody and all those wonderful kids who attended the other day and everybody @ turning point USA, God bless you and thank you for the honor of having me there.
Andrew Colvitt
That's beautiful, Rob. Thank you so much for saying that. Again, I know you got a dash, but we're grateful you made the time. I know you squeezed this in to do this show today. And you're just a good man. You're a good patriot, Rob, and you're Full of love. They're going to tell you that you're a hater, you're fascist. All this stuff just keep making us laugh. Keep doing it. We're going to keep asking you to come out and talk to these students. And we just appreciate.
Rob Schneider
Man, I'll do it and I'll come sit with you. I'll come. I want to come in for the whole hour. We'll have a good time.
Andrew Colvitt
Oh, I love that. Yes. Let's do it soon. Let's do it soon. I know how to get a hold of you, so that's good. All right. Thanks, Rob. God bless you. All right, I gotta play this. This clip here. This is the police chief at UC Berkeley. I believe it's. I believe we got it loaded. Yeah, we do. This is a police chief at UC Berkeley, Yoganda Yogananda Yoganada Pittman. Yoganata. She. You can't make this stuff up. She used to be a Capitol Police officer in charge of intel. Let me fact check that in just a second, but we'll play this clip. And she is like all in on the DEI stuff. So. So she went from Capitol police, probably during J6, over to UC Berkeley and became their police chief. Play Cut 257.
Andrew Cypher
When I started with US Capitol Police, there were zero, as in no persons of color and no women in leadership positions.
Andrew Colvitt
I wanted to be a change agent.
Andrew Cypher
Not only for my organization, but for the profession.
Andrew Colvitt
I didn't want any women to have.
Andrew Cypher
To have the experiences that I had.
Trisha McLaughlin
When I was oftentimes sitting in a.
Andrew Cypher
Room that was occupied by only white men.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Okay, Mikey, you got your answer. You want to point the finger somewhere? Talk about. You know what? I think that's why they were rioting. There were not enough black indigenous trans police officers on site and therefore they were upset about it. And therefore that's why they rioted. That's clearly what's happening. Yeah.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, check this out. So she's the chief police at UC Berkeley now. Out. Yoganada. Yogananda Pittman. And she was in charge of intelligence for the U.S. capitol Police before enduring J6 and became acting chief. And then, you know, apparently Chief Sund from J6 said that she failed to warn of plan J6 violence.
Andrew Cypher
Geez.
Andrew Colvitt
So look at this. All the weird connecting dots. Throw her picture up there if you could just keep it up there. Well, so.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
So it really is like an institutional thing. We talked a little bit about the UC Davis attack when they broke all the windows. And yesterday on Turning Point tonight, we lit up Gary May, who's the chancellor over there, who before that event put out a video saying, hey, by the way, I know we all hate these people, but we're legally obligated to have them on campus. What would have been a correct response? Hey, by the way, we hold uphold the culture of free speech at this university. He didn't need to say we agreed with them. He didn't need to say anything other than this is going to happen. But instead, said all of you people that are your feelings are hurt that these people here, I agree with you. And unfortunately, my hands are tied by the law and I have to let them speak. This happens every single time we go to a UC school. UCLA was the same way. They had some weird list that you had to be on like a week in advance so that you can get into the event. And that was the event was, was half full because the they stopped everybody prematurely from coming to the thing. And it's a systematic problem, specifically at the UC schools, and it seems to be evidenced by at least in part, the DEI police chief they've got over there.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, excuse me, I don't mean to. It's that bad. It really is, all the dots connecting. And these schools, they do sabotage our events. It's very active how they sabotage a touch. Next up, we have Ali Beth Stuckey. Ali Beth Stuckey from the Blaze, Conservative Millennial, I think is how she is her handle. And we're going to talk and we're going to also bring in Andrew Cipher. We're going to talk about how we plan these events and what we have coming up soon. There's going to be a couple surprises coming up.
Terrence Bates

So if you're ready to join the crypto revolution, head to crypto.com today and be part of this historic move. That's crypto.com. don't wait. For more information on the proposed business combination, check out Yorkville Acquisition Corporation's public filings. Terrence Bates here with your real America's Voice. NEWS break. Thank you. Thanks so much for being along for the ride. The federal government could reopen as soon as today if the US House passes a bill to fund the government through the end of January and President Trump immediately signs that measure. A vote is expected to happen by this evening after the Senate passed the compromise, the compromise bill on Monday and Speaker Mike Johnson called House lawmakers back to Washington, D.C. in the meantime, from planes to trains to motorcycles, members of the House are doing whatever it takes to get back to the nation's Capitol for today's vote.
Andrew Colvitt
Because they shut down the government, the Democrats, the flights are too unreliable. So I'm gonna ride on a motorcycle. It's gonna take about 16 hours or so.
Rob Schneider
It's gonna be a little chilly.
Andrew Colvitt
But I will do my duty. I'm getting back to D.C. we're gonna get this country back on track.
Terrence Bates
That was Republican Wisconsin Congressman Derek Van Orden. He's scheduled to arrive back in Washington, D.C. in just a couple of hours after spending the night in Pennsylvania. Coming from Wisconsin, by the way. If and when this government funding bill is enacted, eight Republican senators whose phones were spied on as part of the Biden administration's January 6th investigation stand to get a $500,000 payout. The legislation would retroactively make it illegal for the Justice Department to have access those records, allowing the senators to sue the DOJ for up to a House half million bucks per violation. Well, that's going to do it for your headlines. As always, we appreciate having you along for the ride. I'm Terrence Bates. We'll have more headlines coming up here in just a little bit.
Andrew Colvitt
Waking up the woke.
Tom Simon
You should get a over that quickly.
Andrew Colvitt
One brainwashed radical at a time. That's enough. It's the Charlie Kirk Show. All right, listen, we are about to have Ali Beth Stuckey, the great Allie Beth Stuckey join us in just a second. We also have Andrew Seifer, Vice president of Field Operations at Turning Point usa because we're going to get on, it's going to be back the campus activity. We're just, just zeroing in on it. But first I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. Our good friends there at Patriot Mobile. Listen, I know there's a lot of choices for you when it comes to your cell phone service, but there is only one, one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is still worth fighting for. And that's Patriot Mobile. For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines fighting for our God given rights and freedoms while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks. And if you're like me One is not enough. I have the dual sim. I get both of that. They can help set you up with a dual SIM so you have two networks on your phone. Don't just take my word for it. Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have made this switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by joining Patriot Mobile. They support Turning Point usa. They support our work on campuses. They support this show. Give them a try. Glenn and the team are amazing, amazing people. They share your values. So why don't you give your money to them? You can make a difference in this country just by switching where you spend your money. So you can keep your phone, keep your number or upgrade. So go to 972 Patriot. Call them 972 Patriot today. Or go to patriot mobile.com Charlie use promo code Charlie for a free month of service. Patriot mobile.com Charlie or call 972 Patriot and make the switch today. All right. Joining us now is the great Ali Beth Stuckey. Oh, never mind. I'm getting cues in my ear and I, I miss misunderstood. We do have the great Andrew Cipher, however. And we have the great Joe Bob and the great Mikey McCarthy.
Mikey McCoy
We could just keep talking about Berkeley because Andrew, I mean, you plan that.
Andrew Colvitt
Okay, this actually is a good point. Give me the rundown of what actually happened. Because you and I talked two different times. You're explaining how this kind of sabotage happens. Give us the rundown.
Andrew Cypher
Well, it's kind of to be expected at this point with the UC schools, anytime you go into a University of California school, you just know that they're not going to cooperate, operate legally, they're bound to. And so they're going to do what they must at a minimum.
Andrew Colvitt
But that's it.
Andrew Cypher
At a minimum.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Yeah.
Andrew Cypher
And so day of or a couple weeks out, they decided to switch the ticketing policy on us. That's a, it's, it's kind of par for the course they always liked. Oh, by the way, no longer can we use your ticketing system. You have to use ours. We're not going to allow standby tickets anymore. And then we fought them on that. Okay, we'll give you, you 150 standby tickets. We're like, well, you do realize this venue, you know, accommodates 2,000 plus people and there's 6,000 people that want to come that we have on the, on the books. And that's just who we have on the books. We have way more, thousands more that wanted to come on top of that. So we knew the games they were going to play day of. They brought in the entire police squad, not just their campus police, but they. They contracted other police, other security. They blocked off the entire quad right in front of the entrance of the. Of the theater. And they had four entrances that they were going to use, but they decided to go with one. One entrance, which created a V shaped funnel to get into the theater. We've seen this before. And where did the protest set up? Right next to. Not just right next to. Right in front of the one entrance that they gave for our attendees.
Andrew Colvitt
What do they call Free Speech Plaza? Oh, the Free Speech Zone. They.
Andrew Cypher
They designate. Police will designate a free Speech zone, whereby protesters.
Andrew Colvitt
Such a garbage name.
Andrew Cypher
By the way, every other tour stop where they've done this, they've always put the Free Speech Zone away where they cannot obstruct the attendees. Well, yeah, and also just for safety, just to keep them far enough away from each other.
Andrew Colvitt
So you don't see what we saw.
Andrew Cypher
The other night, which was people confronting each other.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Well, and again, I don't want to sound repetitive, but they do this at all the UC schools. At UC Davis, it was the same thing. All of the attendees got funneled through the one spot that all of the antivo people were.
Andrew Colvitt
This is.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
We're talking.
Andrew Cypher
It's a deterrent.
Andrew Colvitt
It's a big place.
Mikey McCoy
Do you think the police do that on purpose?
Andrew Cypher
I think the police cooperate with administrators.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I think that's. Yes.
Andrew Cypher
I think the administrators are saying this is what we want to do. The police will then sign off on it because here's the thing. So mad standby people in our perspect, all attendees that wanted to get in, they weren't ushered in until the police took over. Once the. It started to get a little chaotic. There was violence happening. When they're imitating gunshots, imitating reenacting. Essentially reenacting the assassination of Charlie. They're playing clips and then they had a car backfiring at the end of Charlie's live recording of that day. At that point, the cr. Everyone was starting to freak out because they thought it was gunshots.
Andrew Colvitt
People were running.
Andrew Cypher
They're running. And at that point the police said. Said administrators stand by. We're taking charge. We're letting everybody in.
Andrew Colvitt
Good.
Andrew Cypher
And so it was the police that came to our aid in the name of safety.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, I think the police will step in and do their job if they're given the ability to. Right. So I'm told. By the way, we're close to getting ally.
Mikey McCoy
This is a hint of the administrative state, both on college campuses in the UC system, but then also in our government. Like, when administrators get involved, involved, things go south.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
But I think you're totally right. All of the police officers and the police presence there were working their best to actually get people into the venue. But I do think they were positioned in a terrible way. And it's either incompetence or handicapped.
Andrew Colvitt
I'll take the latter.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I agree with you. I think so, too. But those are the only two options.
Andrew Cypher
We always say big government sucks around here. The college administration, institutions as a whole are so bureaucratic that they don't even know who is their boss.
Ali Beth Stuckey
Yeah.
Andrew Cypher
When you're at this event, there are literally so many staffers and policemen that if you go to them, you say, who's calling the shots here? They're like, I don't know. I don't know. And so when chaos is happening, which it wasn't when it started to unfold, the imitated gunshots, everything, no one knew what to do because. Because they all had four different bosses, and they didn't know who to go to. And when you went to that boss, they said, well, I have to get approved by my other boss, and then that person has to get approved by another boss. It just goes to show how ineffective these events. If they just refer defer to the experts, which we are. Defer to the campus police. These events could be run so much smoother, as they are in every other state.
Mikey McCoy
Is California the hardest state to work with?
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
It's not even close.
Mikey McCoy
Yeah, Gavin. It's Gavin's fault.
Andrew Colvitt
It's because his son is a huge fan of Charlie Kirk, but now he doesn't want to admit it. Yeah, that bothers me so much, by the way.
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
Me, too.
Andrew Colvitt
He's just lying anyways. Maybe his son's not a fan anymore. I don't know. Do we have Ali Beth Stuckey? All right. Allie Beth Stuckey, conservative, millennial, the host of the Relatable podcast on Blaze tv. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's good to see you. I'm sorry we had some tests. Snafu, it sounds like.
Ali Beth Stuckey
No, I'm sorry about that. Well, I'm glad to be here. Thanks for having me.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, so I'm gonna bring in Andrew Cypher, who's our great vice president of field ops at Turning Point usa for this part. Ali, because I'm not gonna. I'm just gonna say, why don't you do it? Because the timeline of this, I think, will play into some larger conversations. So tell us about an event Cypher that we just.
Andrew Cypher
Well, I mean, here's the thing.
Andrew Colvitt
Thing.
Andrew Cypher
So we just concluded our official. This is the Turning Point tour two days ago.
Andrew Colvitt
You were a great part of that. Thank you so much.
Andrew Cypher
Fantastic part of that. Thank you for coming. We know Charlie, you were one of the first people he wanted to come on the tour.
Ali Beth Stuckey
So thank you. An honor.
Andrew Cypher
But here's the exciting thing. People want in on it. They want to continue the movement that we're seeing on these college campuses. These tour stops are exploding in every way. And in fact. So we just got off the phone, and we just finalized a plan to have two more fun events. They're not part of the official tour, but we're just keeping the energy momentum as long as we have for the remainder of this semester. One's gonna be at George Washington University with a man that. Charlie loved that one. Next Monday at George Washington University.
Andrew Colvitt
Just. So we're just. Just retracing the time. I just want to. That's a week out. Out. And we just decided to do it today.
Andrew Cypher
So his team confirmed with us late last night.
Andrew Colvitt
All right. And then there's a second one that you can actually be more.
Andrew Cypher
This one I can. I can share the details with. But what someone that Charlie really want on the tour was Tom Homan, our favorite czar. And. And so Tom Homan will be coming to University of Texas at El Paso. And it's just very fitting location because. Because the campus sits on top of a hill overlooking the border wall. So I think it's very fitting. And Charlie wanted to bring Tom home into that campus.
Andrew Colvitt
Really wanted Tom.
Andrew Cypher
Immigration.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah. Because immigration is so key. So, Ali, we just did two events. This magician over here. One is in a week and one is in a month. And I think that's interesting because a little bit of controversy erupted on social media about the UVU event, and you kind of waded into that debate about how long out we plan these things, events. And this is the guy that is, you know, instrumental in helping plan so many of them. He has a whole big team. But sometimes these things come together months in advance. Sometimes they come through in a week. And so you have been a part of that conversation.
Ali Beth Stuckey
Yeah, it was just. It was bothering me. And I never claimed to have any, like, secret knowledge or insight. I just had the information that I had as someone who has been on campus with Charlie before Auburn in 2022, and then on campuses without Charlie, too. And I just. Just know from experience that these things can come together last minute, maybe not always. As you guys could say, sometimes it's months in advance, sometimes it's weeks in advance, maybe sometimes it's days in advance. But he texted me along with Mikey, and he said, would love for you to be on campus November 3rd. This is @ the end of August. And I was like, what campus? Like, give me some information. I would love to. I'll go anywhere. But like, where is it? And he said, oh, it's either Auburn or this other university in Alabama. I think Mikey responded and said that. And I'm like, okay, so like, we're eight weeks out, we don't know which campus it is. But I was like, yeah, I'm game. Like, you know, let's do it whenever. But that just happened to be how a lot of these events in my experience came together. So to say that there was something nefarious because UVU was booked last minute just didn't track with me.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, I mean, just so everybody's aware, especially anything with Charlie connected to it. Like, Charlie is the definition of controlled chaos. And he's constantly pushing the team to do more and cram more events in. Joe Bob, you're getting the call, like, late. Like, hey, you got to open this event like tomorrow, by the way, where are you?
Joe Bob Ty Leifey
I was gonna say there was one time where three days before, he said, can you go to Davos, Switzerland, across the world? And of course I was like, yeah, definitely make that happen. But also, so little bit of heads up would have been nice.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah, that's like a common refrain. Like, oh, a little advanced. And we're just like, it's pure controlled chaos. And your events team. Well, it's not the events team. This is another. I think people don't understand. Our events team for like, conferences and big, like, conventions and multi day thing is completely different than our field team, which plans the campus stop. So it's like two different teams. Yeah.
Andrew Cypher
And people need to realize. Realize when you're working on camp. The reason why we separate the two, we have a tours team and then we have an events team, is because working with schools, as we've. We've shared with you, it's a whole different layer of bureaucracy and policies you have to abide by. As. As Ally said, she's like, I don't even know what school she was going to. We probably didn't even know what school she was going to. We just wanted to make sure she was good for the tour. And then we had to go present all these names to the schools and say, hey, when works for you. What availability you have for the largest school rooms you have on campus. And when it comes to these campuses, you know, sports are given, athletics are given that first priority. Then academia and then student groups are given third. You know, we're third in line to be able to get these.
Andrew Colvitt
We're lowest on the pecking order to reserve our space at these campuses. So oftentimes you're like, well, we want to vent this size, but we have to wait for which school is going to come through with the goods. We're going to keep going through the break with Alex Beth Stuckey. We'll be back in about two seconds.
Ali Beth Stuckey
In all of my experiences with Turning Point, everything has been excellent, everything has been organized and good, but it's a little last minute sometimes. That's just how things go.
Andrew Colvitt
Well, we have so many events all over the country. Okay, you actually did some data on this. Do you want me to pull it up? Because it's in our telegram chain, but here I'll pull it up. But the number of events, people do not understand just how much we're doing. So let me just pull this up. Look at this. So this would be high school numbers, recruitment tablings, over 3400 chapter meetings, over 3200 chapter meetings, 600 plus events on high schools. That's just high school. So then you add college fall numbers, 20, 25, 8,000 recruitment tabling events, chapter meetings, 4,050 and over 500 college events. This is all happening all the time, every week, day in, day out, day in, day out.
Andrew Cypher
And that's what people don't realize is that when they're saying, how do these events get planned last minute, how do these events come together? Well, what they don't realize is our campus tour. Yeah, that's kind of our signature tour.
Rob Schneider
Right.
Andrew Cypher
That's what everyone sees. We put in their biggest production value and our biggest investment into that. Those you can have the biggest audiences. But what people don't see is that day in and day out, we're going to do nearly 1200 campus events this fall alone on college and high school campuses, many of which that Ali has been to the ones I teased. And these are not just small, little, you know, talking with 10, 15 kids, these are events on the regular where we're bringing in 500 plus students to hear from Tom Holman and other big speakers of the administration and local pundits. And so, and a lot of this, what's unique about Turning Point is it's not a top down organizational structure, it's a bottom Up. We're here to serve the students. These students come to us and say, hey, I want to host Ali best ducky on my campus. How do I make that happen? And so then these students put in all the legwork and it's truly an organic manifestation of the movement.
Andrew Colvitt
Yeah. And so we're going to welcome back national radio here in about 10 seconds here, Ally and I want to get your reaction to what we saw happen at UC Berkeley because that impacts people like you that come to our events as well and speak at our events. Two seconds, we'll be right back. All right. Many of us are hopeful about the direction of the country. But after years of abuse and mismanagement, things could fall apart at any moment. That's why I and Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever's coming next. And that starts with having an emergency food supply. Storing food in your home is the right thing to do because I mean, just look around. We're living in very crazy times. You want to be prepared. So right now you can get ready to with a three month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply. It comes with delicious foods like creamy stroganoff, honey wheat bread and mushroom rice pilaf. The entire Kit offers over 2000 calories per day and the food lasts up for to 25 years. It even survives like floods. It's sealed very, very well. So, you know, who knows what the country's going to look like in 25 years. You need to be prepared when that day comes. Go to my patriotsupply.com Kirk mypatriotsupply.com Kirk now to order your 3 month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply. That's my Patriot supply. Okay, Allie, you saw the clips, you saw, you've seen the reaction from UC Berkeley. We just had Rob Schneider, comedian, actor, who was there at the event. Joe Bob sitting to my left was there at the event. When you, as somebody that goes and speaks on college campuses with us and you see this kind of craziness, what's going through your head?
Ali Beth Stuckey
Man, oh man. I was just talking to Frank Turek about this and just how sad the whole thing was and how there's probably going to be a whole case about this, like a civil rights conflict that went on here just because UC Berkeley didn't uphold their end of the contract to allow this to go on and to take the right measures. And so to me, that is what is even more frightening. To me. It's not only that we've got these agitators who are very violent and pro death and mocking Charlie's murder, just disgusting. But also that the people who are put in place to protect free speech and to protect people like me, me, who say things that are considered controversial may not have my back and may not have the backs of the turning point students or the people in attendance. That is scary. This is an institutional corruption and condoning of violence that I think all of us need to be very aware of.
Andrew Colvitt
What do you want to see happen?
Ali Beth Stuckey
Oh, well, I think that UC Berkeley, I think that their funding should be suspended. I mean, they get a lot of money from the government. And I would love to see the Trump administration go after university cities like this that don't uphold a commitment to free speech, that violate the First Amendment rights of the attendees and of the speakers there, basically, you know, it's a heckler's veto. All of the people who are protesting, they're the ones who get to shut down speech. When the university said, no, we're going to protect and allow this event, no, there should be consequences for that, not rewards for that. And they need to. These universities need to be held accountable, and these police officers also need to be held accountable for purposely failing to do their jobs.
Andrew Colvitt
So, Cypher, I want to bring you into this with Ali here because, I mean, you said something to me, and I don't mean to put you on the spot, so feel free to push back. But you said when you heard those, the car backfire and all your staff that was there on a lot of you were there at uvu, what goes through your mind when that happens happens when you hear that, when you hear what sounds like a gunshot go off.
Andrew Cypher
Now, keep in mind the backfiring happened outside the perimeter of security. So we're in the quad, all of our staff are within the quad. And then there's a wall of police, there's barriers, and then there's, you know, hundreds of protesters, many of which are on the shoulders of other protesters. So you can't see beyond the protesters and they're screaming the vile things are saying. You can't even see who they are, by the way, because they're all covered up. And so when you're hearing that backfiring, which sounded identical to the same pop that we heard at University, Utah Valley University, I looked around, I saw many of my staff who were there at the first on September 10, many of which just went into a state of paralysis. I have to admit, even myself, the first time it happened, I remained lucid. I was very, very aware of my surroundings. This time it was a look. I looked at a peer who was also there at the first one, and we looked at each other as if, well, if it's meant to be, Lord, I understand. But then I looked at other staff.
Andrew Colvitt
You should not be in that position. I'm so sorry.
Andrew Cypher
It was just. The PTSD is real. But here's the thing is many of the staff did not run. They stood their ground. And they immediately said, said, we need to get all of our attendees out there outside the safety perimeter, inside now. And that was the media action and many thoughts of everyone around us was, how do we get everyone to safety? How do we get those that deserve to be in here in here and keep those vile people outside?
Andrew Colvitt
It's heroic. Ali, final 20 seconds to you.
Ali Beth Stuckey
You know what? Everywhere we see progressivism, everywhere we see these communist activists on the ground, we see violence. And this is not just true in America in the past five years. This has been true for the past 100 plus years that communism and militant leftism has been around. They cannot exist without violence, without vile hatred, without the celebration of gruesome death. This is what the ideology is and we need to face that.
Andrew Colvitt
Thank you, Ali Beth Stuckey, Mikey McCoy, Joe Bob, Ty Laffey, Andrew Cipher. We'll see you tomorrow.

Episode Theme:
A deep-dive into the current chaos in Washington, D.C., the controversial H1B visa debate, crime crackdowns in major U.S. cities, and the battle for free speech on college campuses in the aftermath of violence targeting conservative speakers and students. Features firsthand stories from campus events, policy analysis, and reflection on the loss of Charlie Kirk.
This episode centers on three major narratives:
A. Economic and Ethical Concerns
Massive H1B Abuse
“I was given the news that in 90 days my job was over and I had to train my replacement. Never in my life did I imagine...” ([02:28], Andrew Colvitt)
“It was the most humiliating, demoralizing thing I've ever gone through in my life…” ([02:40], Andrew Colvitt)
Corporatism vs. Capitalism
“They can't do it better than you, but they can do it cheaper than you.” ([18:10], Mikey McCoy)
B. Education System Failings
“College is a Scam”
“We are not educating the people in this country in the way that is going to be beneficial to their future jobs…” ([13:10], Joe Bob Ty Leifey)
Shocking Statistics:
C. Policy & Political Nuance
Trump and H1B Reform
“You can't take people off an unemployment line and say I'm going to put you into a factory...It doesn't work that well.” ([11:53], Donald Trump)
“What it's actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50% discount… I don't think that we should be hiring accountants from foreign countries..." ([18:54], JD Vance quote)

A. Reports from the Frontlines
Berkeley Event Chaos
“They're screaming, they have very disgusting signs...then they're yelling and intimidating and fighting...and inside, you have people talking about how much they love America, family, God, and free speech…” ([55:04], Rob Schneider)

Law Enforcement’s Role
B. Legacy and Mission After Charlie Kirk
“That empty chair next to me broke my heart...it really filled me with the Holy Spirit and all that, that the pressure and all the attention and the love of the people in that room...” ([67:12], Rob Schneider)
C. Next Steps for the Movement
“UC Berkeley, I think that their funding should be suspended… universities need to be held accountable, and police officers for purposely failing to do their jobs.” ([93:46], Ali Beth Stuckey)
D. Broad Cultural Critique
On American Talent vs. Foreign Labor:
“This idea that American citizens don't have the talent to do great things, you have to import a foreign class of servants and professors…I just reject that.”
— Andrew Colvitt ([03:32])
On Free Speech Battles:
“If we silence free speech, where you're also not just silencing the speaker, you're also silencing the rights of the listener… that's something that is really important.”
— Rob Schneider ([58:34])
On Campus Systemic Problems:
“...working with schools...it's a whole different layer of bureaucracy...I don't even know what school she was going to. We probably didn't even know what school she was going to.”
— Andrew Cypher ([87:55])
On Political Violence:
“It is disturbing. It is despicable. We just saw bounties on our officers' heads for up to $50,000. Someone's going to get killed.”
— Trisha McLaughlin ([38:26])
On the Youth Economic Squeeze:
“To afford a home in the US right now, you need to make at least like $115,000 a year… Imagine… graduating with, you know, $200,000 in debt with no jobs.”
— Mikey McCoy ([46:10])
The episode is conversational but urgent and at times deeply personal — driven by frustration over institutional inertia, evidence of sabotage/violence against conservatives, and a sincere commitment to grassroots activism. Speakers openly reflect on the pain of losing Charlie Kirk, the movement's founder, and channel that energy into action and solidarity. There’s a recurring challenge to mainstream narratives and an insistence on “America First” values.
This episode of The Charlie Kirk Show delivers a frontline report on cultural and political skirmishes — from the halls of Congress to university campuses. It confronts the economic realities facing Americans, exposes bureaucratic obstructions and abuses on campus, and memorializes Charlie Kirk’s impact. Through passionate, frank, and sometimes sharply critical discussion, the guests rally listeners to see the gravity of the struggle, the urgency of institutional reform, and the enduring importance of free speech and American values.
