Speaker 1 (00:03):
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'll end
up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to
(00:26):
stop sending your kids to college. You should get married
as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter.
Go start aturning point, you say high school chapter. Go
find out how your church can get involved.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sign up and become an activist.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Lord, Use me.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show
is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver
experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to
my family, friends and viewers.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Andrew Colvett
here honored to be with you. Today is launch day
of Charlie's last book, Blake Stopping.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
The Name of God.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Erica Kirk has been in New York doing media. I
think today she's she did Fox and French, she had
Hannity last night. This I think she's gonna be co
hosting The Five today, which is very exciting, and she's
going to the sort of person who watches The Five
if you're the Yeah, I mean, actually, I think The
Five is actually people maybe people don't know this. I
(01:40):
think it's the top rated show on the network on
that network with Greg Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Know, it's a very popular show.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And then she's gonna be joining us in our the
top of hour two today. So Erica Kirk will be
joining The Charlie Kirk Show at one pm Eastern ten
am Pacific. So you're gonna, guys, are gonna stay tuned
for that, and she's gonna be talking about the book
this right here. Also have it in my hands, Stop
in the Name of God, Charlie's last book, and this
(02:08):
was a labor of absolute love from Charlie. He spent
over a year working on it, jotting down notes, reflections,
meditating on it. It's deeply personal. I think Erica said
it really well actually on Hannity. I don't want to
get ahead of ourselves here because we are going to
be talking about with Erica. But this Charlie learning how
to rest one day a week was what helped him
(02:29):
level up. It was what really took him. He was amazing, amazing,
but then when he did this, he became even more amazing, effective,
better leader, and so many things. So we've got the
artwork back there, the team, the team got it done
and put it up there, and lots of news to
cover in the meantime, so let's get let's let's just
get out the gate real well here, Jasmine Crockett has
(02:52):
decided to run for senate, and I feel obligated to
at least lead with this. You know Jasmine Crocket It
is a very fiery figure out of Texas. She has
risen to prominence by basically being flamboyantly, aggressively, obnoxiously insensitive,
(03:13):
saying wild things, saying anti white things, anti Trump things,
anti conservative things. So let's just hear in her own words,
why she's announcing her run for senate.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
One one, there are a lot of people that said,
you gotta stay in the house. We need our voice,
we need you there and I understand, but what we
need is for me to have a bigger voice.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
As if that was it's whatever do we have this?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
We played it in the cold open. I saw like
the best part was is she uploaded a video to announce.
That's her just sitting there impassively while they play clips
of Donald Trump saying she's really stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And well, this is what happens, right, I mean, if
you go after somebody, it actually raises their profile. Right,
It's the Barber Streisand effect. The Strissand effect is where
you know, I guess it goes back to where Streisand
wanted to keep her privacy intact and then she ended
up fighting back against somebody taking you know, exposing her
home address, which made everybody see her her home address,
(04:19):
so it worked against her. So it's called the Streisand effect.
And you have this in politics, right. Senator Mark Kelly
says some crazy things that are you know, eerily similar
to a coup, a military coup, encouraging that subversion.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And guess what now he is in many new polls.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's like Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly is who the Democrats
think is the most viable candidate to run for president
in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It could be risky because I think I think Mark
Kelly would be more dangerous. Camp Well, I'm just saying
Crockett for example, exactly. But this is what we have.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Jasmine Crockett says, says all these crazy things, we say
she's crazy, and all of a sudden, that's all it
takes for her profile to be raised. So let's pick
our enemies very carefully here. But in the case of
Jasmine Crockett, I think this is a good choice because
she is so insane and I think she's gonna have
a heck of an uphill battle in the state of Texas.
Let's play one eighty four. This is her comparing herself
(05:14):
to the being the next Barack Hussein Obama.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
There was this charismatic, funny, intelligent, and exciting young candidate
with a funny name who just got into the US
Senate and was running for president. Many doubted if this
country was ready, while others, well, we got to work
and kept hope alive. Yes we can. Yes, I'm talking
(05:42):
about President Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
She left out the Hussein Obama, but that's it.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Charlie would always say it, always did it, Yeah, always imitated.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It was an ode to it was an ode to rush.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
And of course, narrator, the country was not ready for
Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, not remote.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Country was not. But but this is what's crazy. She's
so she's so crazy that she We've got so many
great clips on Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And this is this is an interesting clip. This is
when she was saying she's open to ending tax on
black because she's in favor of reparations, but she admits
that many are not already paying taxes. One's seventy six.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
One of the things that they proposed is black folk
not have to pay taxes, and I was like, I
don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea. Then
you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things
like that. And that's one of the reasons that, you know,
we argue that reparations makes sense because so many black
folk not only do you owe for the labor that
was stolen and killed and all the other things, right,
(06:39):
but the fact is, like we end up being so
far behind right, and so it's like, how do you
bring forth people exactly and so it's like, if you
if you do the no tax thing for people that
are already say struggling and aren't really paying taxes in
the first place, it doesn't really exactly Maybe they may
want those those checks like they got exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So so that's her admitting that, you know, uh, reparations
is a is a flawed endeavor.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
To begin with. We could, we could keep going.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
She says, she doesn't need to win over Trump supporters
to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Trump carried Texas by fourteen points. So if I'm just
doing the math here, I've gotta i gotta question her
logic here, Blake one seventy eight.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
How will you convert those who are supportive of him
to voters for you? Yeah, I don't know they will
necessarily convert all of Trump supporters. That's not our need
to Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No,
we don't. We don't need to.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Gotta get some you gotta gotta go.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
So this is a good reason to be optimistic because
Jasmine Kroc, one, one of her opponents, has already basically
dropped out in response to this, decided let's pack up
and go home.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
But older people will remember a candidate.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I say, older people like it's ages ago, but it
was only about a decade ago. But there's been a pattern.
Democrats are really addicted to the idea of flipping Texas.
It's kind of it's similar to how we'll often be
contacted by conservatives in California.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
They often dream of flipping California.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Red, the whole state, not just house districts, and we
often have to say we support you, we should work
as hard as we can, but it's not the immediate
priority now because it's difficult and expensive and we're not
close to doing it. Democrats do this a lot with
the state of Texas, where they get hyped up that
they're going to flip the state in a big state
wide race blue, and they spend tons of money on it.
(08:37):
So let's throw up a decade ago. We had Wendy Davis.
She gave a filibuster's speech on the floor of I
believe the Texas State Senate over an abortion bill, and
so they made her a big national hero. She got
a ton of money, She ran for governor and she
got steamrolled massively by Governor Abbott. And then they did
it with bat O'Rourke running for Senate got a lot
(08:59):
of attention in like three points, sir, Well, don't egg
them on.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Don't egg them on here. The point is they spent
a lot of money on.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It's spent, and that's probably why we got Governor Ron
de Santis.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
For example.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
If they'd taken that money and rolled it over to Florida,
we probably don't win that race. By man, it was
under one hundred thousand and thirty thirty thousand votes or
something like that. Yeah, I mean, listen, if they want
to roll her out there and see what they can
get done, that's fine. I hope they spend a lot
of money on Jasmine. I hope they spend so much
money backing Jasmine. Crockett, Hey, Andrew Colvett. Here, do you
(09:32):
want to own a home? The time to act is now.
For the first time in years, buyers finally have the
upper hand. There's more inventory, more negotiating power, and less competition.
But this window of opportunity won't stay open for long.
As soon as the Fed cuts rates, buyer demand is
expected to spike, driving prices up and giving sellers the
advantage once again. With peak home buying season in full swing,
(09:55):
now is your moment to secure the right home on
your terms. Don't wait for the market to shift. I've
done this before, and you don't want.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Reach out today to get approved from mortgage financing with
our dear dear friends Andrew and Todd. They are godly
men and good men. I trust them, just like Charlie.
Did hear him talk about Andrew and Todd in his
own words.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Go to Andrewintodd dot com or called Triple Light Triple
eight eleven seventy two. These are the guys that I
trust with forty years of experience. They really are the experts,
and they make it easy because they keep everything in house.
Call Triple Light Triple eight eleven seventy two or go
to Andrewintodd dot com. That is Andrewintodd dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So there is a case that is going to be
heard by the Supreme Court that is making some serious ways.
So this is here from Axios. You guys can throw
the graphic up. Senior Trump advisors are telling GOP donors
that a pair of upcoming Supreme Court decisions are likely
to bolster Republicans in the twenty twenty six midterms and
transform the party's power to win elections.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
For years.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So this is coming straight from Chris Lasovida Tony Fabrizio,
which are top Trump lieutenants, and they are talking about
this case Louisiana versus I think it's pronounced Kalais. I
would think Calais, Calais, calais whatever, So Louisiana, the Calais.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
A French name, and then when they're in Louisiana a
long time, they start pronouncing it differently.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
That's how we got Brett Far of all.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That Favre Far.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
So what this is it's about a very i would say,
kind of long standing precedent. Now it goes back to
the Voting Rights Act of Section two the Voting Rights Act,
which came in nineteen sixty five, and what that section
does is it prohibits the dilution of minority voting power
in congressional redistricting plans. So what this does in practice
(11:46):
is it will take a district that is or it
will create a district that is a majority minority district.
So if you have a predominant black community in Louisiana,
for example, and this is where this case goes down to,
they will design a district to give a black community
a representative for the black community. In the case of Louisiana,
(12:08):
they have two predominantly black congressional district Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
That was a recent court rule and exactly, well, this
is one of these very mutant Look, it's very mutant looking.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But what this what it's supposed to be doing, is
at least in theory, they will argue that this is
what allows them to have equal representation. So this is
so that black voters in the South specifically will have
black representatives, right, but it is being challenged as racist. Now,
(12:39):
why this is key is because Section two of the
Voting Rights Act, the core provision that protects against racially discriminated,
discriminatory voting maps. That's how they would put it the left.
If struck down, it would be the significant, most significant
rollback of this Voting Rights Act since what they say,
(13:00):
Shelby County versus Holder in twenty thirteen. But here's what else.
This is what's crazy is that this could at least
it could flip nineteen seats up to up to so
that's nineteen congressional seats. And this the left is warning
about this. They're writing white papers on this, publishing these things,
(13:21):
and they are saying that if you add that to
some of these congressional redistricting fights that we're having in
Indiana and we're having a Missouri, in Florida and Ohio,
that could total up to twenty seven seats going in
our direction. And that's not even counting I believe Texas,
which has already now done it, and we had that
that's six.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, well that might reduce the total, I think. Okay,
But here's here's the point.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Nineteen seats, especially in the South, are connected to this
nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act Section two, which is
making jerrymandered seats for majority minority districts.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Now, you have to be careful because I always have
to have the caveat here, which is there are a
lot of seats in blue states that exist this way
as well, where because of Section two, they say, okay,
here in Chicago, for example, you need to make this
giant like there's actually infamous districts in Chicago where they
have this all black district and then they have the
(14:18):
Hispanic district that surrounds it, kind of like a pair
of earmuffs is famously what it looks like. And so
Democrat states do create this as well. So that could
mitigate it. The big picture thing is we've had this
very artificial approach to our house maps that was imposed
a half century ago for an understandable purpose, which is
(14:40):
that we had the Jim Crow system that really did
deny Black Americans the right to vote, and you could
argue you needed some sort of harsh measure to break that.
That's why we abolish the poll tax, that's why we
abolish some of the literacy tests that they used. And
we're famously rigged against Black Americans, but I have century
on black Americans have the same voting rights, voting rights,
(15:02):
and voting rates.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
As white Americans. They are not being denied the right
to vote.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Instead, this is always a cudgel that is just used
to deliver the left political wins. Oh, we can't have
basic voter ID because actually that's a way to bring
back Jim Crow. And similar here, you can't have a
house map decided democratically at your state level because we've
had a court order how you're going to draw it,
and it never applies to Democrats. Of course, Democrats are
(15:29):
actually totally allowed to jerrymander however they want because they're
doing it for political reasons, so racist reasons.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
But here's what I would say. The liberal leaning Fair
Fight Action Group is freaking out about this. They are
freaking out about this, and they and they are admitting
that this, if this is overturned, it will benefit us
much more. And here's the key oral arguments are herd Tuesday,
which is today, So for this case in which the
Justice will decide whether to eliminate the federal law and so,
(15:56):
so that's that's a big that's a big uh.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
It's a big deal if it helps us, because they
have to decide it soon enough, otherwise we can't draw
the So if they do, yes, it's if they do
it quick enough, it'll impact twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
If they don't twenty twenty eight for sure. Right now,
in war torn Ukraine, elderly Jews like Maria face a
brutal winter and a constant search for food. Maria is
eighty five years old and lives alone. She's nearly blind
and suffers from a broken hip. Maria is a Holocaust survivor.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Her father and.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Brother were murdered by the Nazis. Maria still lives in
her childhood home. There's no indoor plumbing, no heat, and
it's bitterly cold today. Like yesterday, Maria barely has enough
food to survive. Her hunger is unbearable. She prays for warmth, food,
and someone to help her this winter. As the snow
falls and the nights grow longer, her hope fades with
each passing day. She feels forgotten and needs our help.
(16:49):
That's why I'm so grateful for the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. For over forty years, the Fellowship and
their supporters have delivered boxes stuffed with nutritious food, cooking supplies,
and others essentials to suffering and impoverished people like Maria.
To learn more about the great work of I f
c J, visit urgenti f CJ dot org. That's urgent,
I f CJ dot org. All right, very very excited
(17:15):
about this next conversation because it's so important. We're going
to be welcoming Caleb chilcut He is the UVU chapter
president for Turning Point USA. They're in Utah, of course,
that is where Charlie was assassinated on September tenth, and
Caleb has been an absolute rock star and actually met
him briefly over the weekend at the gala. So welcome
(17:39):
to the Charlie kirkshow Caleb, it's an honor to have
you here.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
This is yeah, a real hona. I'm super excited to
be here.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And just in case people are wondering, Caleb, you are
from Australia. That is an accent that they so poofy
he's actually upside down.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah you are. I'm on the ceiling right now, exactly.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Less than there.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Absolutely, Well, it was great meeting you briefly. You were
absolutely phenomenal at the galley. You said a few words,
why don't we start there before we get into this story.
We've got ten minutes in this segment. Tell us about
the chapter in the aftermath of what happened to Charlie
there and tell us how are you doing, How is
the chapter doing, how the student's doing.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Yeah, it's been honestly incredible. Our chapter was a small
probably got one hundred active members. I would get about
twenty people maximum per event, but then after Charlie's death,
we've just seen an explosion in activity. The campus website
says we now ever have four hundred members.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Our Instagram has gotten over five thousand plus followers, and
our events average forty plus people, so we've more than
doubled our events.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And how are the students doing though, I mean, you
know some of what Yeah, some of you guys, I
mean you were the last students to get pictures with Charlie.
I mean, just I mean it was incredibly traumatic. It's
still traumatic for so many of us. And you know,
I just I have worried about some of you guys
at the campus level there because it was, I mean,
(19:15):
an unthinkable thing happened right in.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Front of you. Yeah, thankfully. Yeah, the students have been
doing really well. The view did off of free mental
health services and other facilities kind to help us out
deal on process what we all witnessed. But the students
they're fired up, My students, they're ready to keep muching forward.
Our chapter is becoming a stronghold and it's going to
(19:38):
be a legacy that is going to last the lifetime.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, wonderful.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Well, and talking about legacies that are going to last
a lifetime. So as soon as this happened with Charlie,
there was talk of a Charlie Kirk memorial on campus,
and unfortunately that is now coming into question. Let's go
ahead and play this cut really quick to fourteen.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like it when the campus comes to that's what I
want to memorialize that.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I want to memorialize campus coming together as one student
body in the face of this great tragedy.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You want a memorial for unity, Yes, exactly, because.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Unity died on September tenth, not Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yes, okay, so they instead of a Charlie Kirk memorial,
they want a unity memorial. Blake, Does that make any
sense at all?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
I guess we'll have We'll have unity between uh, you know,
the side that was fired upon and the side that
fired I suppose.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, Please help make sense for this. What is actually
happening on campus? And is this unity memorial in place
of a Charlie Kirk memorial actually actually gaining any traction here?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Caleb, I'm not too sure about that, to be honest.
This is definitely your case of the loud minority versus
the silent majority. I haven't met a single student and
we talked one hundreds of students each week who want
a unity memorial. Everyone I've talked to you want something
to honor Charlie that under what he stood for. And
(21:06):
so yeah, it's just this small, very small, but super
loud voices that oh what we're hearing right now across
the country and the campus.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Well, I mean, but don't they realize that this would
be bearing the truth of what really happened? I mean,
this would be a disgrace to the tragedy that unfolded
at that campus to call it anything other than Charlie
Kirk Memorial. And you know, it's cannot say this enough.
An indoctrinated leftist murdered Charlie Kirk in cold blood in
(21:35):
front of all of us. There's no unity with that.
And Charlie gave his life for free speech for this country.
I just I can't think of anything more insulting than
taking Charlie's name off of a memorial and putting in
its place some left wing, deranged unity project or whatever
(21:57):
that is. So, Caleb, I are you telling us that
this is not gaining any real traction?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Have you talked to the administration?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Have you talked to anybody at the school that has
any authority over this?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Yeah, I've talked to a couple of the people on
the memorial committee. Thankfully. It's very reassuring that about ninety
percent of them have come to me and told me
they are huge Charlie Kirk fans. They loved what he
stood for, they love the message that he preachers. So
if that gives me some hope, But the real issue
for me is that it's just there's no traction. The
(22:30):
last I heard was about a month ago where they
took a tour of the courtyard and the next time
they're meeting to discuss the memorial is going to be
sometime in January. So the process has taken very, very slowly.
But from what I've seen, the people who are constructing
this memorial were in good hands.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's good.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Do you just worry that pushing it back?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
The goal is to just you know, the process is
the punishment, delay it out, keep it from happening, And.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, that's what I'm can I worried about that, you know.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
If you can push that long. Yeah, the people who
are directly affected have graduated them.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, the further away from the event that you get,
the more leverage they're going to have. If if the
if there is some sort of slow walk attempt going here.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
And that is that is one of my biggest concerns
is that with how long this process is taking, that
the people who are fired up, who want on a
Charlie the right way, because of how long it take
this is taking, the voices are going to die down,
and these this loud minority, They're just going to get
people getting louder, and I fear that that's going to
influence the the committee. So what I've been trying to
(23:35):
do is kind of be a I guess whispering, whispering
in the ears, just to make sure they're still in
the right direction and that they're not gonna on a
Charlie's name in a very underwhelming way.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, and I'm glad you're doing that, Caleb, And you
gotta let us know if we need to do anything
to help spread the word there, because if they do this,
it will be one of the If they attempt it
in any serious form, it is going to be an
outrage of epic proportions, and we will absolutely get loud
because the I would say, the least that this campus
(24:08):
could do or should do for the biggest, highest profile
political assassination since the nineteen sixties in this country is
to at least memorialize it properly. With the actual person
whose life was lost and taken.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I don't know. Yeah, can you actually can you describe?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Do you know, assuming they don't sabotage it is there
is there a concrete vision for what it might look
like that we can anticipate.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Not yet, I know. One of the memorial convenient members
is a Utah senator of Senator McKay. He proposed a
bench with a Bible and a microphone on it with
Childie's initials on that. But other people really want a
statue of Charlie, a bust of Charlie, a plaque like
literally anything, And we've had nothing. We've had no concrete plans.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Right now, you know what it should be. Here's here's
my vote. Just thrown out an idea. Here Eric this
picture too. If Charlie throwing out that hat that day
she posted it with the freedom shirt and the hat
coming out of his hand right where he did.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
That, that would be a good that.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That would happen.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'd be torn between that and him, you know, at
the table, prove me wrong with the.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Phone in hand.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That would be ready to debate both both would be
a very good to me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So Senator Mike Lee from the Great State of Utah
has chimed in here. He says, creating a memorial to
unity at Uvu instead of a memorial to Charlie Kirk
would insault Charlie's memory. Family and supporters one thousand percent agree.
It also downplayed Charlie's legacy and ignore what led to
his assassination. The supposed call for unity comes across as
hollow and manipulative. I would say, just really gross, and yeah,
(25:45):
we're not going to fall for it. So I would say,
keep us posted on this, Caleb. As soon as you
hear stuff, please let us know. Please let field team know.
If anything, yes, squarely, please let us know. I just
want to take the last two minutes in this segment
real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Caleb.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know you experienced something I've I've said many times,
I'm so grateful I was not there that day. Unfortunately
Blake was. You know, it's and also fortunately I'm glad
Charlie had his team around him in that in that sense,
but you were there. How has this changed you personally?
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's it's fired me up. I Like I said at
the Galah, this is a realization I had that this
is real. Things like this that happen in our country,
and it's just motivated me more to preach the right
message across Tonally campus is but across the world. I'm yeah,
(26:41):
I'm fired enough and I don't think this fog is
going to die anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Mm hmm. That's great.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And we're hearing that, by the way, across the country,
just so everybody's aware. It's like our the chapter meetings
are exploding with people. You mentioned that you doubled inside
your meeting size. The meetings are swelling and growing, So
that's I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Meetings are growing, The Bible studies are growing. We should
definitely expand those, keep those going. We just got an
email from Kyrie who says, let the audience know if
there's anything they can do to.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Further the process of a UVU memorial.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well, straightforward way.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
If you are a Utah listener, tell your lawmakers this
matters to you, you care about it. You want that
to happen there and possibly on other campuses.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, Caleb, if there's a good email, you can get
that to us and we can actually tell the audience
and put it up on If there's just sort of
a people a place where people can send in their
thoughts and concerns or their desire for this memorial to happen.
Please find that for us and we'll blast it out.
And absolutely yeah, we want people to let let their
voices be heard and say we want to honor Charlie
(27:46):
the right way here. Don't don't skim around it, none
of this unity stuff. Don't give into the to the
leftist voices on campus. Caleb Chilcut, the president of our
GPUSA UVU chapter. Caleb, you're doing a great job. Please
keep that alive. You are important, Your story is important.
You have a place in history now as a matter
(28:07):
of fact, and so please guard that preciously.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, thank you, thank you, all right, we'll see you.
Speaker 7 (28:13):

They're great, they're they're motivated, their impressive and positive.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah, I mean this guy was on camp. He was
probably I don't I don't know where he was when
everything happened, But you know, this is a truly remarkable
man for having this happen on his campus, overcoming it
and you see that sparking him and he realizes that
he's a torchbearer of Charlie's message and his legacy from.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
All the way, all the way from the Antipodes in Australia.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, no less.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Yeah, well, it really shows the globalization of Charlie's message
that we saw so much in this past year.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
There was actually a Sky News reporter out of Australia
that always covered Charlie, and Charlie would always like, send
me the leags, go like she's good, she's good.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
She she liked Charlie.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I mean, you know better than I Charlie's global impact
because you travel with him internationally.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
In the final month, I'll never forget how many people
were recognizing him in the UK. The Starbucks barista, the
guys on the security line, the random people in the
airport lounge, just one thing after another.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It was.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
It was just constant. In the parking lot of this gas.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Station, people were recognizing him and I just I did
not anticipate that.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I remember we had we had a what was her name,
the German representative, Yeah, the ad Yeah, and she was
I remember in the breaks she was so nervous to
talk to try she couldn't believe she on the Charlie
Kirk Show, because Charlie was such a big deal for
the Conservatives in Germany and the French girls at the
RNC that couldn't wait to take a selfie with Charley.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
One of the most important reasons we can't let ourselves
get blackpill. You quickly realize how much every other conservative
on planet Earth looks towards American conservatism because it's where
we're vital. We're coming up with new ideas. We're aggressive
or energetic. You can do things in America. I love
that you can do things.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You can just do things. You can just do things.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Uh, there's a hot mic moment that is going around
and it's making waves on social media.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Let's go ahead and play it from President Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Hot Mike, you know I can.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I can't appoint everybody. I'm expired. And then.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So if you couldn't hear what he said, he says,
you know, I can't appoint anybody. Every everybody I've appointed
their time is expired. Then they're in default. Then we're losing.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Bake.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Explain this, Yeah, it's it's what we were complaining about
with Charlie. Actually just going into this fall, that there's
so many nominees to important positions, that there's so many
appointees in general in the federal government. I think there's
several thousand people at this point who are supposed to
be directly appointed by the president. Start with the Secretary, is,
the undersecretary, is the assistant under just keeps going down,
(32:24):
all the ambassadors, and I think in that specific clip,
Trump was complaining about his US attorney nominations.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
A lot of those have been sat on, so he
has what's behind that.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I think in a lot of those cases, I think
Congress specifically dislikes some of the picks and so they
wish Trump would pick somebody else.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Senate.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
So yes, it's all of these are Senate confirmed. The
House doesn't vote on these things. The Senate wants somebody else,
so they're pouting and sitting on them. I think there's
a lot of that going on, and it's causing problems
because there's a limit to how long a person can
serve temporarily. The Trump administration has they've tried to come
up with some legal maneuver around US and courts have
generally been striking that down. I won't get into all
(33:03):
of that, but bigger picture, when this clip came out,
you and I were talking, there's so many positions that
have gone unfilled where they've started to accelerate them, where
they started to do those block votes on nominees this fall.
Yet there's still hundreds of people. And so the example
you and I were talking about was Jeremy carl author
(33:24):
of the Unprotected.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Class, was Charlie's show.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Charlie loved him. He was really excited to get him
into the Admin. This is one of the nominations he
really personally fought for. I believe he was nominated to
be Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations. I'm I
think he'd probably end up working with Under Secretary Sarah Rodgers,
who we had on this show, and she only she
took forever to get in. She was nominated I think
in February and hearing in April, only got confirmed in October.
(33:51):
There's way too much of this. There is no excuse
for us to have a Republican Senate with a Republican
president with a time limit of four total years where
you're guaranteed to have power, two total years where you're
guaranteed to have a Senate that can confirm people and
to just be sitting on nominations.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I am sorry. Ram them through absolutely.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
And and by the way, this blue slip thing, which
is actually what that hot hot mic moment was about,
I mean, Charlie leveled into the US Senate and listen,
we like Chuck Grassley, but I mean, what's chuck Chuck
Grassy is like late eighties ninety for he is a
very like We respect Chuck Grassley. Look, he's a great
(34:35):
American what ninety two, But we are playing in a
whole different reality than what Chuck Grassley's probably his memory
the world that that formed him is long gone.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
The world has changed.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
The left has gotten incredibly aggressive and expansive about what
they would like to do. The bare minimum we can
do is allow the person I mean Erica elected to stop.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
This to have his dudes well.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And by the way, the admin JD said this, he said,
we cannot keep electing politicians that are promising policies on immigration,
for example, and then saying that the judges are just
going to overturn this. You cannot do that over and
over again without the people eventually becoming quite radicalized. What
the people want, the people get when the people elect
(35:24):
people like President Trump and JD. Vance to fix our
border issues, to fix our immigration issues, or whatever, law
and order, and then constantly this is getting sidetracked because
we can't get appointees through or whatever because of a
blue slip antiquated process which is supposed to be gentlemanly
and a collegial within the US Senate, when they are
(35:45):
when they are weaponizing old traditions where there's no rule,
there's no constitutional order man politics, it's literally just a tradition,
and that is getting in the way. Why this is
so important and and we're just talking with the Chapter
President of UVU, and I'm thinking about Charlie right now.
Charlie left it all out on the field, literally and
(36:07):
physically and in every conceivable way to get President Trump elected,
to get majorities in the House and in the Senate.
We have that we have what we work so hard for,
and for that to get then sidetracked and postponed, delayed,
or completely blocked because we run out of time is
(36:27):
an insult to everything that we did the lead up
to twenty twenty four, and it's an insult result to self.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Defeating If we lose next year, one of The biggest
factors will be didn't confirm enough people, didn't get enough
things done, didn't fulfill enough of the promises.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Absolutely unacceptable that this is still getting in the way.
Abolish the blue slip. It's time we are not dealing
with a good face blue slip.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Ram through the hearings, ram through the nominees.
Speaker 2 (36:59):

Speaker 3 (01:09):
All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Andrew Colvett
here honored to be with you. Today is launch day
of Charlie's last book, Blake Stopping.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
The Name of God.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Erica Kirk has been in New York doing media. I
think today she's she did Fox and French, she had
Hannity last night. This I think she's gonna be co
hosting The Five today, which is very exciting, and she's
going to the sort of person who watches The Five
if you're the Yeah, I mean, actually, I think The
Five is actually people maybe people don't know this. I
(01:40):
think it's the top rated show on the network on
that network with Greg Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Know, it's a very popular show.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And then she's gonna be joining us in our the
top of hour two today. So Erica Kirk will be
joining The Charlie Kirk Show at one pm Eastern ten
am Pacific. So you're gonna, guys, are gonna stay tuned
for that, and she's gonna be talking about the book
this right here. Also have it in my hands, Stop
in the Name of God, Charlie's last book, and this
(02:08):
was a labor of absolute love from Charlie. He spent
over a year working on it, jotting down notes, reflections,
meditating on it. It's deeply personal. I think Erica said
it really well actually on Hannity. I don't want to
get ahead of ourselves here because we are going to
be talking about with Erica. But this Charlie learning how
to rest one day a week was what helped him
(02:29):
level up. It was what really took him. He was amazing, amazing,
but then when he did this, he became even more amazing, effective,
better leader, and so many things. So we've got the
artwork back there, the team, the team got it done
and put it up there, and lots of news to
cover in the meantime, so let's get let's let's just
get out the gate real well here, Jasmine Crockett has
(02:52):
decided to run for senate, and I feel obligated to
at least lead with this. You know Jasmine Crocket It
is a very fiery figure out of Texas. She has
risen to prominence by basically being flamboyantly, aggressively, obnoxiously insensitive,
(03:13):
saying wild things, saying anti white things, anti Trump things,
anti conservative things. So let's just hear in her own words,
why she's announcing her run for senate.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
One one, there are a lot of people that said,
you gotta stay in the house. We need our voice,
we need you there and I understand, but what we
need is for me to have a bigger voice.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
As if that was it's whatever do we have this?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
We played it in the cold open. I saw like
the best part was is she uploaded a video to announce.
That's her just sitting there impassively while they play clips
of Donald Trump saying she's really stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And well, this is what happens, right, I mean, if
you go after somebody, it actually raises their profile. Right,
It's the Barber Streisand effect. The Strissand effect is where
you know, I guess it goes back to where Streisand
wanted to keep her privacy intact and then she ended
up fighting back against somebody taking you know, exposing her
home address, which made everybody see her her home address,
(04:19):
so it worked against her. So it's called the Streisand effect.
And you have this in politics, right. Senator Mark Kelly
says some crazy things that are you know, eerily similar
to a coup, a military coup, encouraging that subversion.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And guess what now he is in many new polls.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's like Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly is who the Democrats
think is the most viable candidate to run for president
in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It could be risky because I think I think Mark
Kelly would be more dangerous. Camp Well, I'm just saying
Crockett for example, exactly. But this is what we have.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Jasmine Crockett says, says all these crazy things, we say
she's crazy, and all of a sudden, that's all it
takes for her profile to be raised. So let's pick
our enemies very carefully here. But in the case of
Jasmine Crockett, I think this is a good choice because
she is so insane and I think she's gonna have
a heck of an uphill battle in the state of Texas.
Let's play one eighty four. This is her comparing herself
(05:14):
to the being the next Barack Hussein Obama.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
There was this charismatic, funny, intelligent, and exciting young candidate
with a funny name who just got into the US
Senate and was running for president. Many doubted if this
country was ready, while others, well, we got to work
and kept hope alive. Yes we can. Yes, I'm talking
(05:42):
about President Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
She left out the Hussein Obama, but that's it.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Charlie would always say it, always did it, Yeah, always imitated.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It was an ode to it was an ode to rush.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
And of course, narrator, the country was not ready for
Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, not remote.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Country was not. But but this is what's crazy. She's
so she's so crazy that she We've got so many
great clips on Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And this is this is an interesting clip. This is
when she was saying she's open to ending tax on
black because she's in favor of reparations, but she admits
that many are not already paying taxes. One's seventy six.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
One of the things that they proposed is black folk
not have to pay taxes, and I was like, I
don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea. Then
you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things
like that. And that's one of the reasons that, you know,
we argue that reparations makes sense because so many black
folk not only do you owe for the labor that
was stolen and killed and all the other things, right,
(06:39):
but the fact is, like we end up being so
far behind right, and so it's like, how do you
bring forth people exactly and so it's like, if you
if you do the no tax thing for people that
are already say struggling and aren't really paying taxes in
the first place, it doesn't really exactly Maybe they may
want those those checks like they got exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So so that's her admitting that, you know, uh, reparations
is a is a flawed endeavor.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
To begin with. We could, we could keep going.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
She says, she doesn't need to win over Trump supporters
to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Trump carried Texas by fourteen points. So if I'm just
doing the math here, I've gotta i gotta question her
logic here, Blake one seventy eight.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
How will you convert those who are supportive of him
to voters for you? Yeah, I don't know they will
necessarily convert all of Trump supporters. That's not our need
to Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No,
we don't. We don't need to.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Gotta get some you gotta gotta go.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
So this is a good reason to be optimistic because
Jasmine Kroc, one, one of her opponents, has already basically
dropped out in response to this, decided let's pack up
and go home.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
But older people will remember a candidate.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I say, older people like it's ages ago, but it
was only about a decade ago. But there's been a pattern.
Democrats are really addicted to the idea of flipping Texas.
It's kind of it's similar to how we'll often be
contacted by conservatives in California.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
They often dream of flipping California.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Red, the whole state, not just house districts, and we
often have to say we support you, we should work
as hard as we can, but it's not the immediate
priority now because it's difficult and expensive and we're not
close to doing it. Democrats do this a lot with
the state of Texas, where they get hyped up that
they're going to flip the state in a big state
wide race blue, and they spend tons of money on it.
(08:37):
So let's throw up a decade ago. We had Wendy Davis.
She gave a filibuster's speech on the floor of I
believe the Texas State Senate over an abortion bill, and
so they made her a big national hero. She got
a ton of money, She ran for governor and she
got steamrolled massively by Governor Abbott. And then they did
it with bat O'Rourke running for Senate got a lot
(08:59):
of attention in like three points, sir, Well, don't egg
them on.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Don't egg them on here. The point is they spent
a lot of money on.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It's spent, and that's probably why we got Governor Ron
de Santis.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
For example.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
If they'd taken that money and rolled it over to Florida,
we probably don't win that race. By man, it was
under one hundred thousand and thirty thirty thousand votes or
something like that. Yeah, I mean, listen, if they want
to roll her out there and see what they can
get done, that's fine. I hope they spend a lot
of money on Jasmine. I hope they spend so much
money backing Jasmine. Crockett, Hey, Andrew Colvett. Here, do you
(09:32):
want to own a home? The time to act is now.
For the first time in years, buyers finally have the
upper hand. There's more inventory, more negotiating power, and less competition.
But this window of opportunity won't stay open for long.
As soon as the Fed cuts rates, buyer demand is
expected to spike, driving prices up and giving sellers the
advantage once again. With peak home buying season in full swing,
(09:55):
now is your moment to secure the right home on
your terms. Don't wait for the market to shift. I've
done this before, and you don't want.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Reach out today to get approved from mortgage financing with
our dear dear friends Andrew and Todd. They are godly
men and good men. I trust them, just like Charlie.
Did hear him talk about Andrew and Todd in his
own words.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Go to Andrewintodd dot com or called Triple Light Triple
eight eleven seventy two. These are the guys that I
trust with forty years of experience. They really are the experts,
and they make it easy because they keep everything in house.
Call Triple Light Triple eight eleven seventy two or go
to Andrewintodd dot com. That is Andrewintodd dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So there is a case that is going to be
heard by the Supreme Court that is making some serious ways.
So this is here from Axios. You guys can throw
the graphic up. Senior Trump advisors are telling GOP donors
that a pair of upcoming Supreme Court decisions are likely
to bolster Republicans in the twenty twenty six midterms and
transform the party's power to win elections.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
For years.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So this is coming straight from Chris Lasovida Tony Fabrizio,
which are top Trump lieutenants, and they are talking about
this case Louisiana versus I think it's pronounced Kalais. I
would think Calais, Calais, calais whatever, So Louisiana, the Calais.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
A French name, and then when they're in Louisiana a
long time, they start pronouncing it differently.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
That's how we got Brett Far of all.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That Favre Far.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
So what this is it's about a very i would say,
kind of long standing precedent. Now it goes back to
the Voting Rights Act of Section two the Voting Rights Act,
which came in nineteen sixty five, and what that section
does is it prohibits the dilution of minority voting power
in congressional redistricting plans. So what this does in practice
(11:46):
is it will take a district that is or it
will create a district that is a majority minority district.
So if you have a predominant black community in Louisiana,
for example, and this is where this case goes down to,
they will design a district to give a black community
a representative for the black community. In the case of Louisiana,
(12:08):
they have two predominantly black congressional district Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
That was a recent court rule and exactly, well, this
is one of these very mutant Look, it's very mutant looking.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But what this what it's supposed to be doing, is
at least in theory, they will argue that this is
what allows them to have equal representation. So this is
so that black voters in the South specifically will have
black representatives, right, but it is being challenged as racist. Now,
(12:39):
why this is key is because Section two of the
Voting Rights Act, the core provision that protects against racially discriminated,
discriminatory voting maps. That's how they would put it the left.
If struck down, it would be the significant, most significant
rollback of this Voting Rights Act since what they say,
(13:00):
Shelby County versus Holder in twenty thirteen. But here's what else.
This is what's crazy is that this could at least
it could flip nineteen seats up to up to so
that's nineteen congressional seats. And this the left is warning
about this. They're writing white papers on this, publishing these things,
(13:21):
and they are saying that if you add that to
some of these congressional redistricting fights that we're having in
Indiana and we're having a Missouri, in Florida and Ohio,
that could total up to twenty seven seats going in
our direction. And that's not even counting I believe Texas,
which has already now done it, and we had that
that's six.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, well that might reduce the total, I think. Okay,
But here's here's the point.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Nineteen seats, especially in the South, are connected to this
nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act Section two, which is
making jerrymandered seats for majority minority districts.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Now, you have to be careful because I always have
to have the caveat here, which is there are a
lot of seats in blue states that exist this way
as well, where because of Section two, they say, okay,
here in Chicago, for example, you need to make this
giant like there's actually infamous districts in Chicago where they
have this all black district and then they have the
(14:18):
Hispanic district that surrounds it, kind of like a pair
of earmuffs is famously what it looks like. And so
Democrat states do create this as well. So that could
mitigate it. The big picture thing is we've had this
very artificial approach to our house maps that was imposed
a half century ago for an understandable purpose, which is
(14:40):
that we had the Jim Crow system that really did
deny Black Americans the right to vote, and you could
argue you needed some sort of harsh measure to break that.
That's why we abolish the poll tax, that's why we
abolish some of the literacy tests that they used. And
we're famously rigged against Black Americans, but I have century
on black Americans have the same voting rights, voting rights,
(15:02):
and voting rates.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
As white Americans. They are not being denied the right
to vote.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Instead, this is always a cudgel that is just used
to deliver the left political wins. Oh, we can't have
basic voter ID because actually that's a way to bring
back Jim Crow. And similar here, you can't have a
house map decided democratically at your state level because we've
had a court order how you're going to draw it,
and it never applies to Democrats. Of course, Democrats are
(15:29):
actually totally allowed to jerrymander however they want because they're
doing it for political reasons, so racist reasons.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
But here's what I would say. The liberal leaning Fair
Fight Action Group is freaking out about this. They are
freaking out about this, and they and they are admitting
that this, if this is overturned, it will benefit us
much more. And here's the key oral arguments are herd Tuesday,
which is today, So for this case in which the
Justice will decide whether to eliminate the federal law and so,
(15:56):
so that's that's a big that's a big uh.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
It's a big deal if it helps us, because they
have to decide it soon enough, otherwise we can't draw
the So if they do, yes, it's if they do
it quick enough, it'll impact twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
If they don't twenty twenty eight for sure. Right now,
in war torn Ukraine, elderly Jews like Maria face a
brutal winter and a constant search for food. Maria is
eighty five years old and lives alone. She's nearly blind
and suffers from a broken hip. Maria is a Holocaust survivor.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Her father and.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Brother were murdered by the Nazis. Maria still lives in
her childhood home. There's no indoor plumbing, no heat, and
it's bitterly cold today. Like yesterday, Maria barely has enough
food to survive. Her hunger is unbearable. She prays for warmth, food,
and someone to help her this winter. As the snow
falls and the nights grow longer, her hope fades with
each passing day. She feels forgotten and needs our help.
(16:49):
That's why I'm so grateful for the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. For over forty years, the Fellowship and
their supporters have delivered boxes stuffed with nutritious food, cooking supplies,
and others essentials to suffering and impoverished people like Maria.
To learn more about the great work of I f
c J, visit urgenti f CJ dot org. That's urgent,
I f CJ dot org. All right, very very excited
(17:15):
about this next conversation because it's so important. We're going
to be welcoming Caleb chilcut He is the UVU chapter
president for Turning Point USA. They're in Utah, of course,
that is where Charlie was assassinated on September tenth, and
Caleb has been an absolute rock star and actually met
him briefly over the weekend at the gala. So welcome
(17:39):
to the Charlie kirkshow Caleb, it's an honor to have
you here.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
This is yeah, a real hona. I'm super excited to
be here.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And just in case people are wondering, Caleb, you are
from Australia. That is an accent that they so poofy
he's actually upside down.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah you are. I'm on the ceiling right now, exactly.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Less than there.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Absolutely, Well, it was great meeting you briefly. You were
absolutely phenomenal at the galley. You said a few words,
why don't we start there before we get into this story.
We've got ten minutes in this segment. Tell us about
the chapter in the aftermath of what happened to Charlie
there and tell us how are you doing, How is
the chapter doing, how the student's doing.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Yeah, it's been honestly incredible. Our chapter was a small
probably got one hundred active members. I would get about
twenty people maximum per event, but then after Charlie's death,
we've just seen an explosion in activity. The campus website
says we now ever have four hundred members.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Our Instagram has gotten over five thousand plus followers, and
our events average forty plus people, so we've more than
doubled our events.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And how are the students doing though, I mean, you
know some of what Yeah, some of you guys, I
mean you were the last students to get pictures with Charlie.
I mean, just I mean it was incredibly traumatic. It's
still traumatic for so many of us. And you know,
I just I have worried about some of you guys
at the campus level there because it was, I mean,
(19:15):
an unthinkable thing happened right in.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Front of you. Yeah, thankfully. Yeah, the students have been
doing really well. The view did off of free mental
health services and other facilities kind to help us out
deal on process what we all witnessed. But the students
they're fired up, My students, they're ready to keep muching forward.
Our chapter is becoming a stronghold and it's going to
(19:38):
be a legacy that is going to last the lifetime.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, wonderful.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Well, and talking about legacies that are going to last
a lifetime. So as soon as this happened with Charlie,
there was talk of a Charlie Kirk memorial on campus,
and unfortunately that is now coming into question. Let's go
ahead and play this cut really quick to fourteen.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like it when the campus comes to that's what I
want to memorialize that.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I want to memorialize campus coming together as one student
body in the face of this great tragedy.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You want a memorial for unity, Yes, exactly, because.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Unity died on September tenth, not Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yes, okay, so they instead of a Charlie Kirk memorial,
they want a unity memorial. Blake, Does that make any
sense at all?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
I guess we'll have We'll have unity between uh, you know,
the side that was fired upon and the side that
fired I suppose.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, Please help make sense for this. What is actually
happening on campus? And is this unity memorial in place
of a Charlie Kirk memorial actually actually gaining any traction here?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Caleb, I'm not too sure about that, to be honest.
This is definitely your case of the loud minority versus
the silent majority. I haven't met a single student and
we talked one hundreds of students each week who want
a unity memorial. Everyone I've talked to you want something
to honor Charlie that under what he stood for. And
(21:06):
so yeah, it's just this small, very small, but super
loud voices that oh what we're hearing right now across
the country and the campus.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Well, I mean, but don't they realize that this would
be bearing the truth of what really happened? I mean,
this would be a disgrace to the tragedy that unfolded
at that campus to call it anything other than Charlie
Kirk Memorial. And you know, it's cannot say this enough.
An indoctrinated leftist murdered Charlie Kirk in cold blood in
(21:35):
front of all of us. There's no unity with that.
And Charlie gave his life for free speech for this country.
I just I can't think of anything more insulting than
taking Charlie's name off of a memorial and putting in
its place some left wing, deranged unity project or whatever
(21:57):
that is. So, Caleb, I are you telling us that
this is not gaining any real traction?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Have you talked to the administration?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Have you talked to anybody at the school that has
any authority over this?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Yeah, I've talked to a couple of the people on
the memorial committee. Thankfully. It's very reassuring that about ninety
percent of them have come to me and told me
they are huge Charlie Kirk fans. They loved what he
stood for, they love the message that he preachers. So
if that gives me some hope, But the real issue
for me is that it's just there's no traction. The
(22:30):
last I heard was about a month ago where they
took a tour of the courtyard and the next time
they're meeting to discuss the memorial is going to be
sometime in January. So the process has taken very, very slowly.
But from what I've seen, the people who are constructing
this memorial were in good hands.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's good.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Do you just worry that pushing it back?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
The goal is to just you know, the process is
the punishment, delay it out, keep it from happening, And.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, that's what I'm can I worried about that, you know.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
If you can push that long. Yeah, the people who
are directly affected have graduated them.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, the further away from the event that you get,
the more leverage they're going to have. If if the
if there is some sort of slow walk attempt going here.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
And that is that is one of my biggest concerns
is that with how long this process is taking, that
the people who are fired up, who want on a
Charlie the right way, because of how long it take
this is taking, the voices are going to die down,
and these this loud minority, They're just going to get
people getting louder, and I fear that that's going to
influence the the committee. So what I've been trying to
(23:35):
do is kind of be a I guess whispering, whispering
in the ears, just to make sure they're still in
the right direction and that they're not gonna on a
Charlie's name in a very underwhelming way.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, and I'm glad you're doing that, Caleb, And you
gotta let us know if we need to do anything
to help spread the word there, because if they do this,
it will be one of the If they attempt it
in any serious form, it is going to be an
outrage of epic proportions, and we will absolutely get loud
because the I would say, the least that this campus
(24:08):
could do or should do for the biggest, highest profile
political assassination since the nineteen sixties in this country is
to at least memorialize it properly. With the actual person
whose life was lost and taken.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I don't know. Yeah, can you actually can you describe?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Do you know, assuming they don't sabotage it is there
is there a concrete vision for what it might look
like that we can anticipate.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Not yet, I know. One of the memorial convenient members
is a Utah senator of Senator McKay. He proposed a
bench with a Bible and a microphone on it with
Childie's initials on that. But other people really want a
statue of Charlie, a bust of Charlie, a plaque like
literally anything, And we've had nothing. We've had no concrete plans.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Right now, you know what it should be. Here's here's
my vote. Just thrown out an idea. Here Eric this
picture too. If Charlie throwing out that hat that day
she posted it with the freedom shirt and the hat
coming out of his hand right where he did.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
That, that would be a good that.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That would happen.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'd be torn between that and him, you know, at
the table, prove me wrong with the.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Phone in hand.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That would be ready to debate both both would be
a very good to me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So Senator Mike Lee from the Great State of Utah
has chimed in here. He says, creating a memorial to
unity at Uvu instead of a memorial to Charlie Kirk
would insault Charlie's memory. Family and supporters one thousand percent agree.
It also downplayed Charlie's legacy and ignore what led to
his assassination. The supposed call for unity comes across as
hollow and manipulative. I would say, just really gross, and yeah,
(25:45):
we're not going to fall for it. So I would say,
keep us posted on this, Caleb. As soon as you
hear stuff, please let us know. Please let field team know.
If anything, yes, squarely, please let us know. I just
want to take the last two minutes in this segment
real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Caleb.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know you experienced something I've I've said many times,
I'm so grateful I was not there that day. Unfortunately
Blake was. You know, it's and also fortunately I'm glad
Charlie had his team around him in that in that sense,
but you were there. How has this changed you personally?
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's it's fired me up. I Like I said at
the Galah, this is a realization I had that this
is real. Things like this that happen in our country,
and it's just motivated me more to preach the right
message across Tonally campus is but across the world. I'm yeah,
(26:41):
I'm fired enough and I don't think this fog is
going to die anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Mm hmm. That's great.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And we're hearing that, by the way, across the country,
just so everybody's aware. It's like our the chapter meetings
are exploding with people. You mentioned that you doubled inside
your meeting size. The meetings are swelling and growing, So
that's I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Meetings are growing, The Bible studies are growing. We should
definitely expand those, keep those going. We just got an
email from Kyrie who says, let the audience know if
there's anything they can do to.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Further the process of a UVU memorial.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well, straightforward way.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
If you are a Utah listener, tell your lawmakers this
matters to you, you care about it. You want that
to happen there and possibly on other campuses.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, Caleb, if there's a good email, you can get
that to us and we can actually tell the audience
and put it up on If there's just sort of
a people a place where people can send in their
thoughts and concerns or their desire for this memorial to happen.
Please find that for us and we'll blast it out.
And absolutely yeah, we want people to let let their
voices be heard and say we want to honor Charlie
(27:46):
the right way here. Don't don't skim around it, none
of this unity stuff. Don't give into the to the
leftist voices on campus. Caleb Chilcut, the president of our
GPUSA UVU chapter. Caleb, you're doing a great job. Please
keep that alive. You are important, Your story is important.
You have a place in history now as a matter
(28:07):
of fact, and so please guard that preciously.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, thank you, thank you, all right, we'll see you.
Speaker 7 (28:13):

I heard grace.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
They're great, they're they're motivated, their impressive and positive.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah, I mean this guy was on camp. He was
probably I don't I don't know where he was when
everything happened, But you know, this is a truly remarkable
man for having this happen on his campus, overcoming it
and you see that sparking him and he realizes that
he's a torchbearer of Charlie's message and his legacy from.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
All the way, all the way from the Antipodes in Australia.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, no less.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Yeah, well, it really shows the globalization of Charlie's message
that we saw so much in this past year.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
There was actually a Sky News reporter out of Australia
that always covered Charlie, and Charlie would always like, send
me the leags, go like she's good, she's good.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
She she liked Charlie.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I mean, you know better than I Charlie's global impact
because you travel with him internationally.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
In the final month, I'll never forget how many people
were recognizing him in the UK. The Starbucks barista, the
guys on the security line, the random people in the
airport lounge, just one thing after another.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It was.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
It was just constant. In the parking lot of this gas.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Station, people were recognizing him and I just I did
not anticipate that.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I remember we had we had a what was her name,
the German representative, Yeah, the ad Yeah, and she was
I remember in the breaks she was so nervous to
talk to try she couldn't believe she on the Charlie
Kirk Show, because Charlie was such a big deal for
the Conservatives in Germany and the French girls at the
RNC that couldn't wait to take a selfie with Charley.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
One of the most important reasons we can't let ourselves
get blackpill. You quickly realize how much every other conservative
on planet Earth looks towards American conservatism because it's where
we're vital. We're coming up with new ideas. We're aggressive
or energetic. You can do things in America. I love
that you can do things.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You can just do things. You can just do things.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Uh, there's a hot mic moment that is going around
and it's making waves on social media.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Let's go ahead and play it from President Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Hot Mike, you know I can.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I can't appoint everybody. I'm expired. And then.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So if you couldn't hear what he said, he says,
you know, I can't appoint anybody. Every everybody I've appointed
their time is expired. Then they're in default. Then we're losing.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Bake.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Explain this, Yeah, it's it's what we were complaining about
with Charlie. Actually just going into this fall, that there's
so many nominees to important positions, that there's so many
appointees in general in the federal government. I think there's
several thousand people at this point who are supposed to
be directly appointed by the president. Start with the Secretary, is,
the undersecretary, is the assistant under just keeps going down,
(32:24):
all the ambassadors, and I think in that specific clip,
Trump was complaining about his US attorney nominations.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
A lot of those have been sat on, so he
has what's behind that.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I think in a lot of those cases, I think
Congress specifically dislikes some of the picks and so they
wish Trump would pick somebody else.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Senate.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
So yes, it's all of these are Senate confirmed. The
House doesn't vote on these things. The Senate wants somebody else,
so they're pouting and sitting on them. I think there's
a lot of that going on, and it's causing problems
because there's a limit to how long a person can
serve temporarily. The Trump administration has they've tried to come
up with some legal maneuver around US and courts have
generally been striking that down. I won't get into all
(33:03):
of that, but bigger picture, when this clip came out,
you and I were talking, there's so many positions that
have gone unfilled where they've started to accelerate them, where
they started to do those block votes on nominees this fall.
Yet there's still hundreds of people. And so the example
you and I were talking about was Jeremy carl author
(33:24):
of the Unprotected.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Class, was Charlie's show.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Charlie loved him. He was really excited to get him
into the Admin. This is one of the nominations he
really personally fought for. I believe he was nominated to
be Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations. I'm I
think he'd probably end up working with Under Secretary Sarah Rodgers,
who we had on this show, and she only she
took forever to get in. She was nominated I think
in February and hearing in April, only got confirmed in October.
(33:51):
There's way too much of this. There is no excuse
for us to have a Republican Senate with a Republican
president with a time limit of four total years where
you're guaranteed to have power, two total years where you're
guaranteed to have a Senate that can confirm people and
to just be sitting on nominations.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I am sorry. Ram them through absolutely.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
And and by the way, this blue slip thing, which
is actually what that hot hot mic moment was about,
I mean, Charlie leveled into the US Senate and listen,
we like Chuck Grassley, but I mean, what's chuck Chuck
Grassy is like late eighties ninety for he is a
very like We respect Chuck Grassley. Look, he's a great
(34:35):
American what ninety two, But we are playing in a
whole different reality than what Chuck Grassley's probably his memory
the world that that formed him is long gone.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
The world has changed.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
The left has gotten incredibly aggressive and expansive about what
they would like to do. The bare minimum we can
do is allow the person I mean Erica elected to stop.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
This to have his dudes well.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And by the way, the admin JD said this, he said,
we cannot keep electing politicians that are promising policies on immigration,
for example, and then saying that the judges are just
going to overturn this. You cannot do that over and
over again without the people eventually becoming quite radicalized. What
the people want, the people get when the people elect
(35:24):
people like President Trump and JD. Vance to fix our
border issues, to fix our immigration issues, or whatever, law
and order, and then constantly this is getting sidetracked because
we can't get appointees through or whatever because of a
blue slip antiquated process which is supposed to be gentlemanly
and a collegial within the US Senate, when they are
(35:45):
when they are weaponizing old traditions where there's no rule,
there's no constitutional order man politics, it's literally just a tradition,
and that is getting in the way. Why this is
so important and and we're just talking with the Chapter
President of UVU, and I'm thinking about Charlie right now.
Charlie left it all out on the field, literally and
(36:07):
physically and in every conceivable way to get President Trump elected,
to get majorities in the House and in the Senate.
We have that we have what we work so hard for,
and for that to get then sidetracked and postponed, delayed,
or completely blocked because we run out of time is
(36:27):
an insult to everything that we did the lead up
to twenty twenty four, and it's an insult result to self.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Defeating If we lose next year, one of The biggest
factors will be didn't confirm enough people, didn't get enough
things done, didn't fulfill enough of the promises.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Absolutely unacceptable that this is still getting in the way.
Abolish the blue slip. It's time we are not dealing
