Episode: “ANTIFA, Epstein, and Thanksgiving”
Date: November 14, 2025
Host: Charlie Kirk
Guests/Co-hosts: Andrew Colvett, Mikey (Michael) McCoy, Blake Neff, Andy Ngo (guest)

Main Theme Overview

This episode dives into three interlocking themes:

1. The Biden and Trump administrations’ shifting responses to issues important to the conservative base (housing affordability, illegal immigration, and Antifa).
2. The impact of designating Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization and what this means legally and culturally.
3. Debunking the latest attempts to link Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, exposing the political undercurrents and media mishandling involved.
   All of these are analyzed from the signature unapologetic, activist-conservative perspective of Charlie Kirk and his team.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Administration's Shifting Response: "They Are Listening"

• Messaging Pivot (03:02 – 06:55):
  The team observes that the administration (Trump-era or influence) is visibly pivoting on critical issues for young conservatives, from housing to deportations.
  • “There is a sense in the last couple weeks… that they are listening now. More needs to be done, but there has been a messaging pivot.” (Charlie Kirk, 03:02)
• The Six Point Checklist:
  Outline of conservative priorities:
  • Mass deportations
  • Building 10 million homes
  • Crushing the “college cartel”
  • Ending H1B visa scams and diversity visas
  • Cutting legal immigration

Housing Market & Immigration

• JD Vance’s Comments on Housing (04:57):
  Highlights the link between immigration, housing shortage, and affordability.

  “A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants… at the same time, we weren't building enough new houses…”
  (Playback of JD Vance, paraphrased by the hosts, 04:57)

• Declining Rent Prices (05:47):
  U.S. rental market sees its steepest October decrease in 15 years.

  “It’s a decrease… in rentals… and those people who are coming in as illegal immigrants, as guest workers, as low wage labor, they’re typically going into the rental market. If we’re seeing declines there… [it] probably means the foreign-born population… is falling…”
  (Blake Neff, 05:47)

Deportations

• Impact:
  • “We’ve seen approximately 2 million, maybe slightly more, deportations and self-deportations… less people in the continental US now than at the beginning of Trump’s presidency… that isn’t despite 1 to 1.2 million new green cards each year.”
    (Andrew Colvett, 06:55)

2. Antifa Designated as a Terrorist Organization

Administration Actions

• Civil Rights Enforcement at UC Berkeley (07:12):
  Harmeet Dhillon, now Assistant Attorney General, applauded for pursuing legal action against violent Antifa-linked protestors at Turning Point USA events.

  • “The police in Berkeley seem to think this is kind of a sport or a joke… Equal protection under the Constitution requires that you treat citizens equally, including if you don’t agree with their viewpoints.”
    (Harmeet Dhillon, audio play, 07:12)

• Rubio/State Department Move (08:34):
  Marco Rubio and the State Department designating Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization unlocks significant legal tools.

Guest Segment: Andy Ngo Interview (18:18 – 29:25)

• The Importance of Foreign Terror Designation (19:02):

  • “The key difference is that there’s actually no legal category in the U.S. for domestic terror… But foreign terrorist organization – FTO – is a legal category. It enables asset freezes, travel bans, criminal penalties for membership or providing material support. In short, it’s now a federal crime to belong to or support violent Antifa anarchist groups…”
    (Andy Ngo, 19:02 & 21:52)

• Decentralized Structure and Tactics (23:01):

  • “They’ve moved more underground… not posting as much on social media, less logos… a decentralized network… The goal is to get fellow travelers, sympathizers, or ideologues to show up and commit violence...”
    (Andy Ngo, 23:01)

• Antifa Violence in Europe (25:30):

  • U.S. designations linked to groups responsible for brutal attacks, bombings, and attempted murders.
  • “Antifa east... mob beat their targets with batons and hammers… breaking bones, smashing skulls open… other groups in Italy and Greece involved in bombings, shootings… These are terrorist groups.” (Andy Ngo, 25:30)

• Funding and Communication (27:04):

  • “Communications… is primarily done through Signal… aliases, burner phones, ad hoc group chats… Funding comes through registered nonprofits and also crowdfunding—GoFundMe, CashApp, PayPal… easily traceable if law enforcement is looking.” (Andy Ngo, 27:04)

Conservative Reactions & Cultural Framing

• Kirk Responds to "All Protesters are Terrorists" (30:46 – 31:37):

  • “I’m calling antifa out there that are anonymizing their identity, sending death threats to my family, smashing windows and spray painting the campus the entire week leading up to this terrorist. Yes, I absolutely stand by that.”
    (Charlie Kirk, 31:09)

• Comparison to KKK and Call for Legal Action (31:39):

  • “These parasites in Antifa are basically free in any blue city to roam around and terrorize people… They’re basically a modern KKK in the truest sense.”
    (Blake Neff, 31:39)

3. Debunking the “Trump Thanksgiving with Epstein” Smear

• Media and Political Attempts to Tie Trump to Epstein (32:33 – 35:41):

  • The hosts break down the recent attempts by Democrats and legacy media to allege that President Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Epstein—despite direct evidence to the contrary (public records, Melania’s tweets with Trump at a Coast Guard station).

  • “CNN is backtracking as well… ‘President Trump did not receive or send any of the messages which largely predated his time as president. He’s not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or Maxwell.’ Oh, okay, so that is legalese, by the way.”
    (Andrew Colvett, 34:17)

  • “It’s the fifth time around the Epstein… it’s amounted to nothing, but they just bring it up again.”
    (Michael McCoy, 37:25)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Meaning and Purpose:
  “If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you’re gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.”
  (Charlie Kirk, 00:03)

• On Banning Antifa: “It unlocks extraordinary legal powers when you’re able to say, hey, they’re a foreign terrorist organization as well.”
  (Andrew Colvett, on designating Antifa an FTO, 08:34)

• On Groundtruthing Housing Policy:
  “We actually have less people in the continental US than we had at the beginning of Trump’s presidency, which is huge.”
  (Andrew Colvett, 06:55)

• On Media Smears:
  “There’s a word I get in trouble when I use on this show. It’s really stupid. It’s really stupid.”
  (Blake Neff, referring to the Thanksgiving/Epstein claim, 35:35)

Tone & Language

  The hosts poke fun at name conspiracy theories, describe media attacks as “really stupid”, and remain unapologetically conservative in commentary, using strong language (“parasites”, “thugs”, “sick, demented freak”).
• Action-Oriented:
  Frequently encourage listeners to “become activists”, “get involved”, or “share tips” with the FBI regarding Antifa.
