Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Importance and Impact of Turning Point USA (TPUSA)

• TPUSA’s recent campus tour stop at Montana State University drew massive, energetic crowds, showing the continued relevance and vitality of youth conservative activism.

• Vivek Ramaswamy’s surprise attendance highlighted the movement’s influence and reach.

• The team reminisced about “Charlie” chants at events, emphasizing Kirk’s unique ability to energize young conservatives.

  • Quote:
    “There’s been a lot of fixation on the who, right? Like, who killed Charlie? ... What we need to make this about is the what. And that is the fact that we are back on campus, that we’re talking about the ideas ... that we should not be using violence, that we should not be using political violence.”
    • Andrew Colvet (03:39)

2. Deep Dive: Political Violence and Legal Leniency

• Discussion of a recent thwarted attack at the Red Mass in DC, where a man was apprehended with homemade explosives, possibly targeting Supreme Court justices.

• Drawing parallels with the Brett Kavanaugh assassination attempt. Criticism focused on the lenient eight-year sentencing for Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin, exacerbated by “identity politics” in sentencing.

  • Quote:
    “We need a taboo on political assassination, 1,000%.”
    • Blake Neff (08:47)
  • Quote:
    “You need judges to not give leniency to potential assassins. This is the direct through line between these two cases.”
    • Andrew Colvet (08:50)

• Critique of media coverage that downplays the severity of such attacks using euphemistic language (e.g., “vials of liquid” for Molotov cocktails).

3. Cultural Rhetoric and 'Celebrating Death'

• Accounts of social media users openly celebrating attacks on conservatives, which the hosts argue reflects a dangerous cultural shift toward celebrating political violence.
• Emphasis on holding not only criminals but also those celebrating or condoning violence accountable—job consequences were deemed appropriate.

4. Listener Testimonies and Charlie Kirk’s Legacy

• Readout of an appreciative email from listener Jacob, highlighting Kirk’s personal and spiritual influence on young conservatives and families.

• Anecdote from Andrew about meeting an Uber driver who credits Kirk and TPUSA for his move to Arizona and commitment to conservative values.

  • Quote:
    “The purpose of this is not to own the libs ... The tool is to allow people like Jacob to have a better life, to have a better country and people who are living out their faith, starting families, having those families be safe and successful ... That is what it is for.”
    • Blake Neff (16:07)

• Upcoming TPUSA campus tour dates and the growing momentum of the movement.

5. News Update: Palisades Fire & ChatGPT as Evidence

• Federal authorities arrested Jonathan Rinderknecht for alleged arson in the deadly Palisades fire; a ChatGPT image of a burning city is part of the evidence—possibly a first in criminal proceedings.

  • Quote:
    “This is the first criminal case I know of where their ChatGPT searches are part of the evidence against them.”
    • Blake Neff (19:09)

6. Interview with Nate Morris (KY Senate Candidate)

• Nate Morris reflects on Charlie Kirk’s early and enthusiastic endorsement of his anti-establishment campaign against the “McConnell mafia.”

• Kirk’s support described as pivotal, with a massive rally to launch Morris’s campaign.

• Focus on Morris’s hardline stance against illegal and even legal immigration, drawing a contrast with his opponent “Amnesty Andy Barr,” and linking the immigration crisis to the broader fate of Western civilization.

  • Quote:
    “We would often talk—this is a fight for Western civilization. This is not just about one political cycle ... This is about the fate of Western civilization.”
    • Nate Morris (25:00)

• Criticism of “RINO” Republicans (name-dropping Mitch McConnell and Andy Barr) for enabling mass immigration and undermining the American worker and social services.

• Appeal for listeners to support his campaign as the only viable America First option in Kentucky.

7. Restoring the Taboo Against Political Violence

• The hosts argue that as the political left escalates incendiary rhetoric, societal safeguards against violence, especially against conservatives, are eroding.

• Discussion about possible legislative or procedural ways to remove incentives for political violence targeting Supreme Court justices—ultimately concluding prevention must remain focused on protection.

  • Quote:
    “The taboo against political violence is eroding, which is terrifying ... especially if you have a Democrat president, [who could fill the vacancy] with a left-wing nominee.”
    • Andrew Colvet (34:47, 35:41)

Transcript

[A]

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord. Use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. But the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers.

[B]

All right, everybody. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. This is Andrew Colvette, executive producer of this show, joined by Blake Neff, our not so secret, secret weapon. You're going to love this. Eventually you are going to love it. So I want to start with just a praise report from last night at Montana State University where the Turning Point Tour, we call it, this is the Turning Point campus tour had its next stop and this place is packed in Montana. This is not a population center, Blake. And the amount of energy in this room was so extraordinary. They were chanting, they were jumping up and down. And then Vivek Ramaswamy left his campaign in Ohio, by the way, where he's attempting to be the next governor of the state of Ohio to come speak with our students, which just again shows the amount of commitment that the friends in the movement have for what we're doing at Turning Point. Let's go ahead and play cut 88. And just to give you a small sample of just how raucous this crowd was at Montana State University.

[C]

You wonder if that could be the. Maybe that'll just be our catch all positive chant. Almost like usa.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, I could imagine just seeing that break out years into the future just as a good.

[B]

I totally agree. I'll never forget the first time I heard the Charlie chant. It was actually at Politicon in that amazing jank moment that has gone viral where he went.

[C]

Where he went nuts.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the viral clip. And then Charlie walks out of the venue. I'm with him, actually. Erica was there too, and it was all these young guys just go, charlie. Charlie. And I remember going like, wow, he's lucky.

[C]

He's got a nice chantable name.

[B]

He's got a great chantable name. Andrew doesn't gotta have a Blake.

[C]

Yeah, Blake's not gonna work. No, no.

[B]

So. But you know what this was for me, Blake? It was a clarifying moment. Cause we've been through a lot in the last couple days and weeks, and there's been a lot of fixation on the who, right? Like, who killed Charlie? Well, they've got the suspect. Okay. We feel really good about that case. It's very strong. Here's what I will say, though. What we need to make this about is the what. And that is the fact that we are back on campus, that we're talking about the ideas. We're dialoguing with students. We're dialoguing about the. The fact that we should be having a dialogue, that we should not be using violence, that we should not be using political violence. That we need to call that out and basically root it out, root and stem from this country, because we're seeing these very disturbing trends. And that's what Turning Point is. All that is. Why you want to know why Turning Point is so important right now is because we have always been about the debate. We've always been about the dialogue. We've always been about how having the conversation. Because that's what America is supposed to be about. And yet there's this really disturbing story that's coming out of Washington, D.C. where a man is targeting. Has been discovered with explosives. The Red Mass. Tell us about it.

[C]

All right, so for those who don't know, the Red Mass is a thing. It happens once a year around the start of the Supreme Court term. It has its roots in the Middle Ages. It's like a very formal thing that. It's like a Catholic Mass that's sort of dedicated to lawyers, which. It's already a scary thing. You know, religious rituals and lawyers don't. Don't mix well. But anyway, so it's a traditional thing. Get dressed up. And it's, of course, become a big deal because so many of the conservative Supreme Court justices in recent years have been Catholic. They often go to this service, and then a lot of other Catholic lawyers will attend it as well. And so this man, Louis Garry, 41 years old, he apparently was in a tent in front of the church when police arrived to clear the area, because there were going to be a bunch of Supreme Court justices there. And then this guy clearly doesn't seem to have it all right. Be all right in the head, because he's just got a tent in front of this church. And then when the police approach, he says, get away. I have a bunch of explosive devices. They said over 200, which sounded to me like, did he have just a bunch of fireworks or something? But what it was is apparently they were all homemade. There were vials of nitromethane, and it appears he was basically making homemade Molotov cocktail type things that he told officers that the vials were intended to be used as grenades with rubber bands to secure the fuse. According to court records, he was in possession of Molotov cocktails and modified bottle rockets covered with aluminum foil and treated in a pyrotechnic solution. The devices appeared fully functional. So it seems. He said, you might want to stay back and call the federales. I have explosives. Gary said, now we're fortunate. This guy just appears to have been pretty nuts, so not really capable of pulling off a complicated attack scheme. But I think he's very indicative. Just last week, we had the sentencing of the attempted assassin of Brett Kavanaugh. That guy was a lot more systematic in his approach. He figured out, how can I. You know, how can I get a gun? How can I get an approach? He had, like, wire cutters and a knife and an act.

[D]

It was a series.

[C]

It was a very serious attempt. Very serious attempt. Flew across the country to do it, and then would have done it, except he had a failure of nerve when he saw federal agents outside Kavanaugh's house, turned himself in. And then this federal judge says, you know, I feel bad for you because you'd have to go to a men's prison. And now you say you're a transgender woman. So I'm only going to give you eight years. You've already served three. You could be out, you know, three years from now. And then when. You know, when. Even when his own lawyer said, like, the judge got angry when someone referred to this as a political attack, because judges aren't political. Judges aren't political. There's no. There's no political agenda that could come into play when possibly doing one of these. And so, yeah, we're seeing this environment, this environment that people are marinating in, because the left has used this. You know, they use the fascist word a lot. They use the Nazi word a lot. They really whip people up when they. Anytime there's these rulings related to things like child gender transitions, things like that, they won't say, like, oh, this is a Bad ruling. They will say they're denying your existence. They will say they are trying to destroy your right to exist. They're using this totalizing, they're going to kill you rhetoric, and loony people are taking that literally.

[B]

Well, and, you know, this is why in the aftermath of what happened to Charlie, it was so important that there was all of these accounts and a major hat tip to libs of TikTok. I certainly didn't have the brain space to even do this, but I saw, you know, you go on Twitter, everybody's outing these people, celebrating, because ultimately that is a culture that's celebrating death, fetishizing political violence. And that's why I think it's important that we were trying to get some of these people fired. I think that's completely.

[C]

We need a taboo on political assassination 1,000%.

[B]

Also, though, you need judges to not give leniency to potential assassins. This is the direct through line between these two cases, is that you have leniency on a potential assassin. And then, oh, lo and behold, a week later, this happens where a guy's sitting outside of where all the justices are going to be with explosives. Yeah, he's a looney tunes. He's crazy. But you have to understand, if you do not enforce the law, if you do not punish evildoers, society will fall apart.

[C]

I Love this headline. NBC 4 Washington had a tweet about this. A man who had vials of liquid was arrested outside the cathedral. Impossible Hierarchies was arrested outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew. And then it has the readers added a note. The vials of liquid were Molotov cocktails.

[B]

It's one of the all time great.

[C]

It could have just been, you know, it could have been his Diet Coke.

[B]

You know, one of the all time great community notes on X. But yeah, I mean, here's the thing. We need to make sure that the evildoers are punished. We need to make sure the taboo remains in full force, full strength. And that's why people getting fired from their jobs is completely appropriate. When you celebrate violence, when you act like a vile, ghoulish person, or when you're like Jimmy Kimmel and you try and lie about who's behind a certain attack and then you're going to double down on it, then, yeah, you deserve consequences and you deserve the backlash.

Do you want to read it?

[C]

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. We got this yesterday from Jacob and he says, hello, my name is Jacob. My dad introduced me to Charlie Kirk years ago and I'm so happy and grateful that he did. I started watching Charlie's videos on YouTube and his debates and his college campus tours and I just fell in love with his enthusiasm that he had to talk to the younger generation. He not only knew how to communicate, but but he let people tell their side of the story and he was not afraid of sharing truth. I'm very thankful my dad showed me who Charlie Kirk was at such a young age. I'm 28 now. I have a beautiful life, a beautiful wife. We have a small kitty together and we are hoping to start a family very soon. Every day I see more and more videos of Charlie just saying how much he loved his family, how much he loved Jesus, how much he enjoyed just working and doing everything into the Lord. My best friend's fiance works for Turning Point and we are so very thankful for all that Charlie Kirk has done for the younger generation. We hope that you, Erica, and the rest of your family and the family at Turning Point USA continue to spread the love of Jesus Christ and to keep on sharing what Charlie's purpose was here on this earth. We hope you read this and we know that God's plan is greater than ours. Praying for your family and team blessings. Jacob. Yeah, I just thought that was an amazing one. Erica thought that was an amazing one. She wanted us to read it. We love these testimonies. We're getting lots of them. We can't read all of them, but we do love to see them. Just how much Charlie was able to change people's lives for the better.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I took an Uber this morning and the gentleman happened to recognize me. And he was. He basically was. He ended up pulling out his phone and he used to live in Chicago. Pulls out his phone. He shows me a picture with him and his wife and Charlie from Chicago. Oh, wow. Yeah. And he was like, yeah, Charlie is the best. My wife was at one of the vigils. We just love you guys. We're just so honored. He was like, I'm honored to be giving you a ride. I was like, well, thank you. I'm honored to. Honored to have the ride. And, you know, and you could tell that this guy was like, charlie helped change Arizona. He moved from Chicago to Arizona four years ago. And he said, I'm never leaving, partly because of the impact that Turning Points had in this state. But he just, you know, it was just another one of those little things where you realize just how big the reach is. And I love. I love what he said, what Jacob said in this email about promoting what Charlie was for. And that's what I said last night was such a clarifying moment for me personally, because I was like, ah, this is what it's for. You know, like, we are. We are doing the hard work and our students are the absolute heroes. Charlie was incessant. He would always say, these are the tip of the spear. They are the brave warriors, these young men and women that are spreading conservative ideas on college campuses where they're oftentimes not welcomed. At least they especially used to not be welcomed. Now I think we've seen some momentum here, and there's more openness to have these debates on campuses. And then you have all our friends, whether it's Megan or Tucker or Vivek or Governor Gianforte last night was there. We have all these campus stops coming up as well, if we want to tell you about them. I probably should tell you about them. We've got one at the University of North Dakota. I believe that's going to be Glenn Beck. That's going to be tomorrow. October 9, University of North Dakota. Wait, that's okay. That's tomorrow. That's the one. October 16th, University of Oklahoma. We got. I think Russell Brand is going to be at that, among some others. Indiana University. That is going to be October 21st.

[C]

Say the cities, because People don't.

[B]

Yeah, that's in Bloomington, Indiana.

[C]

October, LSU, 27th, Baton Rouge, Ole Miss. In Oxford, Mississippi, the 29th.

[B]

Circle your calendars. November 5th, Auburn, 1. One note on the October 29th one. That's 10,000 people at that arena. So as big as.

[C]

Fill it.

[B]

Yeah, fill it. No, it's gonna be filled.

[C]

If you live in Memphis, you're not that far away. If you live in Nashville, you're not that far away.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

If you live in Tuscaloosa, not far away.

[B]

Also, Auburn, we're gonna have. I think Coach Tuberville is gonna be there. I believe Benny is gonna be at that one and some others. It's gonna be a really big event at Auburn University on November 5th. So this is an amazing moment that we're seeing that the entire movement is galvanized about. And I love it because it's these focusing moments where we get to talk about what we're for. And what we're for is exactly what Charlie modeled, exactly what Jacob's email was about.

[C]

That. You're so right. That's what this is for. It's not to. We do the debates, we argue the issues, but the purpose of this is not to own the libs. That is a tool. The tool is to allow people like Jacob to have a better life, to have a better country and people who are living out their faith, starting families, having those families be safe and successful and not being poisoned by all the negative things in modernity. That is what it is for.

[B]

Yes. Pursue the eternal pursuit. Get married, have kids. You know, have faith. The good, the true, the beautiful. These are the conservative ideas that bind us together. And by the way, they were not welcome in so many of these places until a guy like Charlie Kirk goes in and, you know, makes a way for those behind to enjoy these good things that we all believe in and we all support. And so that's what we're about. That's what we're going to keep on doing. And by the way, the momentum is incredible. The momentum is absolutely incredible. All these new chapters are getting started, and we've got candidates around the country that Charlie endorsed. And we're gonna have one of them on next. Nate Morris out of Kentucky. Hey, everybody. Andrew Colvett, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. Charlie understood that to lead, he needed to learn. Hillsdale College was ready to teach him. While busy running his company, teaching America's youth and raising a beautiful family, Charlie still found time to complete 31 Hillsdale College free online courses. He talked about it the last Time he spoke on his podcast with Hillsdale's president, Dr. Larry Arn.

[A]

Hillsdale is the cutting edge and I mean it. It is America's greatest college.

[C]

You are a force of nature, Charlie Kirk.

[D]

One of these days I'm going to give you an honorary degree.

[A]

That, that would be the honor of my life. But I, I got a lot more learning yet to do. And I say this, the Hillsdale courses have changed my life.

[B]

Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, Charlie studied the Bible, the classics, the American founding, and through his relentless pursuit of truth became not only a great American, but a good man. Charlie's gone, but. But his spirit of hard work and lifelong learning carry on. Each of us can follow his example and pick up where he left off. So learn like charlie [e-mail] that's charlieforhillsdale.com all right, we are gonna bring in Nate Morris in just a second. But first, there's some breaking news on the Palisades fire.

[C]

Palisades fire. So that's the fire that burned like a week plus in Los Angeles, thousands of homespeople turning point employees, turning point donors lost their homes in that fire. So a lot of people are interested in that. I believe Gavin Newsom blamed it on global warming.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

But in a big development today, federal Authorities have arrested 29 year old Jonathan Rinderknecht on alleged arson related to starting that fire. They say they claim that he began the fire on New Year's Day, which then it seems like it went out and then it rekindled several days later, basically like it was smoldering.

[B]

Smoldering.

[C]

And this is interesting. Among the evidence that was collected from his digital devices was an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And this might be, this is the first criminal case I know of where their chat GPT searches are part of the evidence against them. I don't recall that. So he's initial appearance is scheduled for today and he is of course presumed innocent. But. Well, we'll keep monitoring that. We don't know what his motivation might have been. He might just be a little nuts. But if he did in fact do it. But we obviously will pay attention.

[B]

Yeah. We have a quick news clip. 92. Let's go ahead and play the. From the press conference. 92.

[C]

Today we are announcing the arrest of 29 year old Jonathan Rendernecht for igniting a fire that ultimately burned down the Palisades earlier this year, killing 12 people, destroying more than 6,800 structures. Both homes and businesses and damaging over.

[B]

A thousand more buildings. Well, that's a. I mean, it's important to list the toll, right? Not only the death toll, which is.

[C]

Still not remotely close to being rebuilt.

[B]

It's terrible. It's California, by the way. There's all this, there's all these rumors that they're using some of the empty lots now to put high density housing. This is one of the premier single family home areas and neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area. And it's truly tragic if they do screw up the zoning here. So without further ado, I want to bring in Nate Morris. He's running for U.S. senate in the great state of Kentucky. He's taking on the McConnell machine, which cannot be stated enough. Nate, welcome to the show. We're honored to have you. Charlie was so passionate about your race. He endorsed you. He got behind your campaign. Let's start there. Tell us about what that meant for you to have Charlie's endorsement, the time you guys spent together, and I think that's the appropriate place to begin this.

[D]

Absolutely. It's so great to be here with you all. And Charlie was such an incredible human being, as we all know, an iconic and legendary human being. And I had the great fortune of getting to know him as I was launching or beginning to look at the US Senate race in Kentucky. I'm a friend of the Vice President's and he had suggested I take a look at the race. And part of the work that I started doing was having conversations around MAGA world. And Charlie was one of the people that I reached out to and got to know. And he was so encouraging and so excited about this race and finally defeating the McConnell mafia here in Kentucky. He knew what a stranglehold Mitch had had on our party, how he'd stabbed the President in the back over and over again and sabotaged his agenda. And Charlie made it very clear. He said, we need someone who's a fighter, we need someone who's strong. We need someone who's going to stand up and fight like no one's ever fought before in this position. And he knew how tough this was going to be. And what he said to me was, he said, if you do this, he said, I'm going to come to Kentucky and I'm going to help you launch this because this is how important this race is. And, and he came to Kentucky early in the summer and we had about 1500 people show up on a. On a Monday morning leading into the Fourth of July holiday. We had folks, young people, we had grandparents bringing Their grandchildren. We had construction workers that had taken time off from the job site, that had mud on their boots that were showing up. I've never seen more electricity in a room than when Charlie filled it that day and launched this campaign. And it meant so much to us.

[B]

Yeah, well, you know, Nate, what's amazing about Charlie is he had this incredibly packed schedule. I mean, it takes an army to even keep up with that schedule. And it was like a Tetris, you know, game or something, how we packed things in. And so we were. Charlie was sort of like, very good at doing events at the times. You wouldn't necessarily do an event. Right. Ideally, you do it when people are off work or at this. No, we just had to fit them in where we could. And yet, despite that, there would just be an electric atmosphere and so much energy. And so let's play a clip from that event, I believe. And this is him endorsing you. Cut 74.

[A]

I will say this. I was looking at the race. I said, is there somebody that will actually tell it like it is? When he comes out of the gate, he's like, you know, I'm here to take out the trash. And here's also Mitch McConnell. He didn't quite connect the dots. I said, but, you know, I said, I like that guy. He's willing to actually call out the McConnell mafia that have been running this state for so long and willing. Willing to get in, because you better believe there's going to be a lot of attacks against Nate once you say it like this. But you know what? Take a page. After President Donald Trump. What President Donald Trump did when he went into the arena was he was unafraid to call out the political class. You remember what he did? He called out the Bushes, he called out the Clintons, He. He called out the Cheneys. He called out all the Republicans that were there prior. And honestly, he opened a lot of our eyes to the corruption and the deep state that was in front of us.

[B]

That was a beautiful moment, and he meant every word of it. And I can tell you, he ended up following that up with a tweet. Go ahead, throw up. Image 303. So Charlie says the entire Mitch McConnell establishment in Kentucky is pulling out every dirty trick in the book to stop Nate Morris. They hate Nate because he supports an immigration moratorium, opposes endless wars, and represents the end of McConnel Donald's control over Kentucky politics. And, Nate, this is really relevant now because there's this clip that's going viral about one of your opponents in this Race Barr, who has now been caught on camera basically endorsing mass amnesty. So explain this dynamic because Charlie was really against the illegal invasion. He was really against actually the way we do legal immigration in this country. He really found common cause with you in that. So explain what's going on in the state of Kentucky with your opponent.

[D]

Well, we, Charlie and I talked at length about this crisis facing our country. We're at a crisis related to our border, related to mass immigration and mass migration from the third World. And Charlie understood this better than anyone. And we would often talk. This is a fight for Western civilization. This is not just about one political cycle. This is not about just politics. This is about the fate of Western civilization. We can look no, no further than go across the pond to the United Kingdom. They've lost their country. And Charlie would talk a lot about this. And that same sentiment that created the problem in the UK Is coming to the United States, that same kind of thinking. And in 10 years, America is going to be closer to the UK than we would have ever imagined if we don't get tough and we don't stop this amnesty and this flooding of our borders. And my opponent, Andy Barr, we call him Amnesty Andy Barr because he is for amnesty across the board. And he talked in this clip that he refers to illegals as undocumented. I mean, this is the terminology that Democrats use. He called me a nativist because I want a full moratorium on any new immigration in our country. Well, and if you recall, nativist is what Hillary Clinton called members of the MAGA movement. And the same breath she said, basket of deplorables. So this is what I'm up against. But this is the McConnell machine and this is what they believe and this is what has been paying their bills and enriching them for generations.

[B]

Well, I totally agree with that. A couple things you said get tough. Immigration moratorium. Listen, we have a culture that we love and we adore and we love the people in this country first and foremost. We are proudly American first, America first. And so I love what you're saying. You're one of the few that has the guts to say it. So God bless you for that. Let's hear what your opponent has to say in his own words. Cut 72.

[C]

What we need in immigration reform is bipartisan. We need a bipartisan solution on daca. We do need to fix that situation for young people who are undocumented who are brought to this country, no fault of their own. We did provide a in the bill that I voted for in the Republican Congress, a legalization of that group that provided protection from deportation.

[B]

Okay, so let me just stop you right there. Anytime I hear anybody talk about bipartisan immigration reform, I instantly. Red alert. Red alert. Yeah, I mean, it's like, you're totally right. He's using left coded language. What's going on here? Is he like a secret? I mean, I don't know, Andy. Bart, I just want to say, but like, is he like a closeted lib in red Kentucky that just knows he got to put an R in front of his name to like get ahead in politics?

[D]

I think so. I mean, look, he is a classic throwback to that old school rhino country club Republican, the people that have run our country off a cliff, these career politicians like Andy Barr. And he epitomizes what the McConnell machine has believed because remember Mitch McConnell, he goes around Kentucky, he talks about all the power that he's had for generations. You know, he didn't secure our border. He had enough power. He could have secured the border. He could have stopped this inflow of illegals decades ago. He didn't do it. And Andy Barr is going to take up Mitch McConnell's mantle. He's going to be the McConnell 2.0 if he were to get in that seat. And that's why he must be stopped at all costs because he is for amnesty. He wants his big business cronies to be able to have cheap labor and undermine the American.

[B]

That's right.

[D]

He wants to. He, you know, this is. Illegals are flooding our system in Kentucky. I talked to a county clerk not too long ago. They're trying to process 120 languages in Kentucky. And just five years ago it was English and Spanish and now it's 120 languages they're trying to try to process. And these illegals are flooding our hospitals, our schools. And you know, we talk a lot about protecting Social Security in this campaign. We must protect Social Security and Medicare, but we gotta start by doing that, by kicking every one of these illegals off the system because they've been frauding our system. And we know that this is the crux of what this government shutdown was all about.

[B]

Well, I totally agree. And by the way, it's a winning issue. And you're right to zero in on it and focus on it because I think you're the only guy in this race that has any credibility on basically the most important political issue of our time, the issue that got President Trump elected. And listen, you're going up against an entire machine that has Deep pockets. And they're gonna spend it on you Wall Street. These Wall street buddies from the McConnell machine are spending it against you. So we are with you 100%. Nate Morris, natemorris.com, right? That's how people can support you.

[D]

Yes. Come to our website, natemorris.com be part of this movement, the Patriots in Kentucky. We need your help. The Patriots around the United States. We are up against generations of political cronies, of special interests, of people that want to flood our borders, like Andy Barr. Amnesty. Andy Barr. We need your help. Be part of this campaign. And we are going to defeat Mitch McConnell, his machine and everything around it once and for all and put it in the grave in Kentucky.

[B]

Well, God bless you, sir. It's an honor to have you on the show. Charlie was 100% behind your campaign and we remain steadfastly in the same position. So you know the machine has got to go. We've got a clear house clean house in Kentucky. We're never going to get a senator from that state that represents the base and represents what Charlie wanted, what President Trump wants, what we want on this show. So we're with you 100%. God bless and Godspeed.

[D]

Thank you so much. It's my honor.

This is the Charlie Kirk Show. We are all about saving babies with preborn. There are 24,836 kindergarteners starting school this month who would not be alive if it hadn't been for what Preborn did in 2019. When a woman considering abortion sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears that baby's heartbeat, it doubles the chance that that she will choose life. $140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies. $280 can save 10 babies. And just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day. A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save babies lives for years and years to come. Charlie and Erica love preborn. Charlie loved it so much. He believed in it so much. He was a donor. So I'll give the final word to Charlie Kirk.

[A]

Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, that opportunity is just a phone call or click away. Call 833-850-2229 or click on the preborn banner at charliekirk.com.

[B]

We really want to read your email. Send them in freedomarliekirk.com freedomarliekirk.com so send them in. We are reading every single one. We will continue on this mission to read every single email. Blake, do we have anything in the email box that is that you want to float?

[C]

I got a kick out of. Jack sent us a suggestion that what causes the bad actors is political psychosis, which he suggested is a combination of heavy weed use, using too much political social media and playing too many video games. I don't know if that's true, but I kind of want it to be.

[B]

True because weed is bad feels true.

[C]

Weed is really bad.

[B]

It feels true. We gotta. You know what we gotta do? We gotta have Alex Berenson on the show.

[C]

Yeah. Just remind people weed is bad.

[B]

Just for a very good primer again, a refresher course on why weed is bad. Don't smoke weed. It's terrible for you. By the way, if you care about the next generation, you should be anti. Legalizing weed or making it easier to get for one reason.

[C]

Addictive things in American life that are illegal.

[B]

Yes. But with young people specifically, it does lead to psychosis and that's provable. You can't even argue with that. So, Blake, we want to go SCOTUS conversion therapy. We're going to go to FBI tracking senators phones. We have. By the way, we have Jonathan Keeperman coming up for the entire hour. It's going to be so great.

[C]

We get to talk about the shock jock Hassan.

[B]

We get to talk about Katie Porter.

[C]

Matato Katie Porter.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Did you know about that?

[B]

So just so you know, like, part of our struggle with hour one today is that we have all of these topics.

[C]

We had a million things to hit.

[B]

Yeah. But we keep wanting to wait for Lomez, otherwise known as Jonathan Kieberman.

[C]

He's so great.

[B]

The story with Lomaz, just so everybody's aware, one of Charlie's absolute favorite guests. First of all, we had him on.

[C]

He was instantly like, let's have him on.

[B]

All Charlie was like, we gotta have Lomaz. We gotta have Lomaz. So he's coming on next. But part of our struggles. We just wanted to talk about all these topics with Lomez. He was known as Lomez online. Very popular, sort of like underground.

[A]

It's so great.

[C]

Anytime you dox like this like liberal who's hiding behind an anonymous account, they turn out to just like be hideous. They. Or something. Look, they look.

[B]

Somebody who would hide.

[C]

They look like a Portland antifa mug shot. We have that put.

[B]

That put the antifa mug shots.

[C]

So some goo. Some ghoul who also looks like an antifa mug shot at. I think it was the Guardian in the uk. He doxes John Johnathan Keeperman and it turns out he's like, oh, he has a great family and he's rated professor, top rated professor and all the reviews when he was a college professor. Oh, he's, he's a really hot professor.

[B]

Oh yeah, I know all the ladies love Jonathan Kieberman. So yeah, he's now out. So I don't even know what to call him. Is it Jonathan Keeperman? Is it Lomas? I still call him Lomaz.

[C]

I call him Lomaz because that's what he is on X and everyone should follow him.

[B]

By the way, the Antifa mugshot's hilarious. I think it was N wokeness. Yeah, you've got it credited appropriately, but I think the caption was. Now we know why they wear masks. Because like when you see them you're.

[C]

Like, ah, you think like they'd want to keep them off because they could take off their mask and like turn whoever sees them to stick stone, like Medusa.

[B]

Well, they certainly have some evil powers, but usually it's just throwing Molotov cocktails at federal authorities. But by the way, that story is still going on and I think if you could find a thread for this hour, it's that we want to be about what we're for. Turning Point's mission is more important than ever because the taboo against political violence is eroding, which is terrifying, by the way. One of the things that, by the way, that you said yesterday, Blake, that has stood out to me is this idea that there is this incredible incentive, should we lose power at the executive level, to commit violence against Supreme Court justices, especially conservatives. I don't really worry about it the other way around because we're just simply not as violent as the left in the modern era. However, why that makes sense is because if you have a Democrat president, then they killer.

[C]

If the KAVANAUGH assassin in 2022 had actually succeeded in going through with it, Joe Biden could have trotted out some left wing nominee and Democrats who controlled the Senate could have confirmed that person. There is a very direct incentive and that person would have been able to serve on the court for life.

[B]

I'm just curious, could you in theory pass a sort of any sort of law that says if you can just to take this incentive off the board and say if somebody is the victim of political assassination, that the sitting president would have to defer the selection to the highest ranking Republican in D.C. or something?

[C]

You don't want to create incentives the other way either.

[B]

Well, no, I'm just saying that you. Yeah, no, but I'm saying. Well, that's true. That's true. Because if, you know, that's a very dark thought. This is the problem sometimes that I have.

[C]

Imagine, can you now, could you imagine Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

[B]

They wanted her to retire.

[C]

They wanted her to retire. Like, we're gonna force your retirement, Ms. Ginsburg. And no, you don't.

[B]

Basically, the only option is to put bubble wrap around all of them, give them lots of security, ensure the U.S. marshals are monitoring their movements. I mean, this is, this is really sick. We should, I mean, as a culture, the fact that we're even debating hating this, you know, God help us pray for peace.
