Charlie Kirk Today | Caleb Chilcutt: April 13, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | April 13, 2026

We are
00:00:09.332 --> 00:00:10.166
Titling this first segment of the show
00:00:10.166 --> 00:00:12.602
The tale of two truths because, president trump
00:00:12.602 --> 00:00:16.973
Really he he unfurled untruth
00:00:17.607 --> 00:00:20.977
Against some former supporters, including tucker carlson,
00:00:20.977 --> 00:00:24.581
Alex jones, megan kelly and candace owens and one,
00:00:24.581 --> 00:00:27.450
Giant truth social post.
00:00:27.984 --> 00:00:30.286
And we're going to compare and contrast the messaging of that
00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:33.556
With another truth in just a second.
00:00:33.556 --> 00:00:35.291
But blake, your take.
00:00:35.291 --> 00:00:36.860
Oh, okay. well, we should if you haven't seen it.
00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:39.028
We can't read the whole thing.
00:00:39.028 --> 00:00:40.296
It's pretty long, even for a trump truth.
00:00:40.296 --> 00:00:42.365
But he does say he dropped this yesterday afternoon
00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:46.269
Somewhat out of the blue.
00:00:46.269 --> 00:00:48.004
The start, it says, i know why tucker carlson, megan kelly,
00:00:48.004 --> 00:00:50.707
Candace owens and alex jones
00:00:50.707 --> 00:00:52.308
Have all been fighting me for years,
00:00:52.308 --> 00:00:54.310
Especially by the fact
00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:55.311
They think it is wonderful
00:00:55.311 --> 00:00:56.613
For iran, the number one state
00:00:56.613 --> 00:00:58.248
Sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon.
00:00:58.248 --> 00:01:00.283
They all have one thing in common low iq.
00:01:00.283 --> 00:01:03.553
They are stupid people. they know it.
00:01:03.553 --> 00:01:05.555
Their families know it.
00:01:05.555 --> 00:01:06.823
Everyone else knows it too.
00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:09.125
He goes on to call them nutjobs and troublemakers.
00:01:09.125 --> 00:01:12.428
He says, they are through each one.
00:01:12.428 --> 00:01:14.531
Yes, he goes through each.
00:01:14.531 --> 00:01:15.398
He says they are the opposite of maga.
00:01:15.398 --> 00:01:17.600
He says he attacks tucker says he didn't finish college.
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:21.971
He says he goes after megan kelly for asking him
00:01:21.971 --> 00:01:24.841
The nasty, now famous, only rosie o'donnell question.
00:01:24.841 --> 00:01:29.012
He says that the the respected, the highly respected
00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:32.348
First lady of france who is not a man, is more attractive
00:01:32.348 --> 00:01:36.486
Than candace owens.
00:01:36.486 --> 00:01:37.520
He goes after alex jones for losing that lawsuit
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.957
Over the sandy hook.
00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:41.858
His bank really just blasts all of them.
00:01:41.858 --> 00:01:44.894
After that.
00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:46.029
Very scorched earth, very scorched.
00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:47.363
Although, you know, it's funny,
00:01:47.363 --> 00:01:48.364
I heard a couple of people responded to this.
00:01:48.364 --> 00:01:50.600
Like, that was pretty tepid for trump.
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.235
He could have gone harder.
00:01:52.235 --> 00:01:53.269
I was like, i don't i don't think that's true.
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.938
I this is pretty.
00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:56.005
This is, this is it was very scorched earth.
00:01:56.005 --> 00:01:57.574
The reason of course, he did that is they have all, been
00:01:57.574 --> 00:02:01.144
Vocal, very vocally critical of the iran intervention.
00:02:01.144 --> 00:02:04.981
And in particular,
00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:06.182
They were all extremely critical of his rhetoric.
00:02:06.182 --> 00:02:09.485
Just in the past few days, specifically,
00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:11.321
Everything got ratcheted up to a next level
00:02:11.321 --> 00:02:13.323
After the end of civilization troops.
00:02:13.323 --> 00:02:15.258
Precisely, precisely.
00:02:15.258 --> 00:02:16.559
I recall,
00:02:16.559 --> 00:02:17.860
Alex jones, he said something like war
00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:19.829
Crime alert over that and said,
00:02:19.829 --> 00:02:21.331
This is not what we voted for.
00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:22.799
Megan kelly said it was irresponsible and disgusting.
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:26.135
She says, i am sick of this bleep.
00:02:26.135 --> 00:02:28.438
Why can't he just behave like a normal human?
00:02:28.438 --> 00:02:32.108
President trump floated that the president's staff
00:02:32.108 --> 00:02:34.877
Should sort of defy his orders.
00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:37.780
Tucker i'm sorry sorry sorry but i said trump.
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:39.515
Tucker said that that his staff should defy the order.
00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:41.884
And and there was
00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:43.086
There was that 25th amendment of discussion
00:02:43.086 --> 00:02:45.622
Of the 25th amendment and yes, and, of course,
00:02:45.622 --> 00:02:48.524
Has suggested he was involved
00:02:49.158 --> 00:02:50.326
In murdering charlie brown, which is obscene.
00:02:50.326 --> 00:02:53.029
So my take on this is basically a couple of things.
00:02:53.029 --> 00:02:57.333
One, there are actually really important matters happening
00:02:57.333 --> 00:03:01.004
In the
00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:02.472
In the world, in the country, this is a bit of a distraction.
00:03:02.472 --> 00:03:05.375
However, what did you think was going to happen?
00:03:05.375 --> 00:03:08.945
You know, this is a man who responds very forcefully.
00:03:08.945 --> 00:03:11.814
Your response when this happened
00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:14.284
Was pretty interesting.
00:03:14.284 --> 00:03:15.218
You said, i'm surprised it took this long.
00:03:15.218 --> 00:03:17.086
Yeah. candidly, yeah.
00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:18.288
They they have been vocally critical of the conflict
00:03:18.288 --> 00:03:21.124
Since it started.
00:03:21.124 --> 00:03:22.425
And the president is a guy
00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:24.861
Who responds pretty rapidly when he feels
00:03:24.861 --> 00:03:29.098
People have turned on him out of his coalition.
00:03:29.098 --> 00:03:31.234
We've seen what he's done with congressman massie.
00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:32.969
We've seen what he did with marjorie
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:34.304
Taylor greene on my watch. he bashes in there elon musk.
00:03:34.304 --> 00:03:36.839
It was a quick
00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:37.807
And that's interesting because that gets that.
00:03:37.807 --> 00:03:39.375
We remember when elon musk first broke away
00:03:39.375 --> 00:03:41.844
He comes out and says
00:03:41.844 --> 00:03:43.179
President trump is in the epstein files,
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:44.747
Basically says he's involved,
00:03:44.747 --> 00:03:46.215
Suggest he's involved in sex trafficking.
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:48.318
Very critical.
00:03:48.318 --> 00:03:49.652
And we remember charlie said,
00:03:49.652 --> 00:03:51.287
I think they could possibly reunite over this.
00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:54.157
And, you know, paper this over well, you know, and listen,
00:03:54.157 --> 00:03:58.995
Emotions are high.
00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:00.730
Correct.
00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:01.764
And i would say that the elon musk example is a
00:04:01.764 --> 00:04:06.169
An example of what president trump is capable of doing.
00:04:06.169 --> 00:04:10.106
Right?
00:04:10.106 --> 00:04:10.473
Which is,
00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:11.574
If you look back, him and meghan, we're not friends.
00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:14.110
They came back together in 2024.
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:16.446
Megan kelly has said that
00:04:16.446 --> 00:04:18.214
She will vote republican over a democrat no matter what.
00:04:18.214 --> 00:04:20.650
It doesn't matter how upset upset she is.
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.885
Tucker carlson had texts released
00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:25.054
In the dominion lawsuit,
00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:26.155
Which revealed that he did not like president trump
00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:29.158
At a certain point.
00:04:29.158 --> 00:04:30.059
Then he campaigned in 2024 on his behalf.
00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:32.495
So we don't know where this is going to happen.
00:04:32.495 --> 00:04:33.896
Alex jones i, i'm a little less clear.
00:04:33.896 --> 00:04:37.200
Alex has been supportive of the president over
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:39.936
The years and has turned on him.
00:04:39.936 --> 00:04:41.170
Alex is response to this, by the way, was that
00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:43.239
Thank you for making it clear
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:44.374
That i want nothing to do with you
00:04:44.374 --> 00:04:45.842
And i don't support you anymore.
00:04:45.842 --> 00:04:47.210
Basically,
00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.111
I would put candace
00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:49.212
In a completely different category of of
00:04:49.212 --> 00:04:51.447
Of all of this, actually.
00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:52.749
But the the end result is it's a bit of a distraction.
00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:56.519
But what did you think was going to happen?
00:04:57.387 --> 00:04:59.188
And let's just make one thing clear.
00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:00.590
If you're going to call
00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:01.591
For the 25th amendment of the sitting president
00:05:01.591 --> 00:05:02.892
Of the united states, you're calling for a palace coup.
00:05:02.892 --> 00:05:05.027
That's what you're calling for.
00:05:05.027 --> 00:05:06.462
Because the 25th amendment was written in past
00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:10.133
Bipartisan fashion in 1967. why?
00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:13.236
Because you had the woodrow
00:05:13.236 --> 00:05:14.203
Wilson, basically where he was debilitated
00:05:14.203 --> 00:05:17.974
And his wife and his physician kept that from the country.
00:05:17.974 --> 00:05:21.544
Okay. that was 1919, i believe.
00:05:21.544 --> 00:05:23.813
Then you had, a heart attack
00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:26.416
And a stroke by eisenhower, little known fact of history.
00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:30.520
But in both of those instances, it was unclear
00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:33.089
What was going to happen.
00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:33.956
If he didn't survive those instances.
00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:35.425
Then you had the assassination of jfk.
00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:38.795
But what would have happened had jfk just been a vegetable
00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:41.497
And survived it? right?
00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:42.632
He obviously died, so lbj took over.
00:05:42.632 --> 00:05:45.334
But what would have happened
00:05:45.334 --> 00:05:46.235
If he would have just been incapacitated?
00:05:46.235 --> 00:05:47.703
So they needed a mechanism constitutionally to
00:05:47.703 --> 00:05:50.706
If the president is unable to dispatch the duties
00:05:50.706 --> 00:05:54.677
And responsibilities of the president,
00:05:54.677 --> 00:05:56.245
That's what the 25th amendment is.
00:05:56.245 --> 00:05:57.780
It's not when you don't like his policies, it's
00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:59.315
Not when you like when you don't like the war in iran.
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:02.952
It's about if he is mentally unfit and unable
00:06:02.952 --> 00:06:07.156
To do the job, meaning you had a stroke or something.
00:06:07.156 --> 00:06:10.126
Well, that of course, is what some people are claiming he is.
00:06:10.126 --> 00:06:12.962
Yeah, but he's obviously lucid and and he's the same trump
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:16.566
We've always.
00:06:16.566 --> 00:06:17.667
So we'd love to see what all of you make of this.
00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:19.602
So send us emails.
00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:21.037
If you're we'll read them next.
00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:22.705
We'll take a look at them.
00:06:22.705 --> 00:06:23.940
I think what this is a good reminder of is
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:27.076
It is how the president approaches
00:06:27.076 --> 00:06:29.078
Politics, which is he he can handle criticism
00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:32.048
On policy grounds, but there's a certain thing where
00:06:32.048 --> 00:06:36.185
President trump is a guy who
00:06:36.786 --> 00:06:37.987
Thinks through the language of dominance.
00:06:37.987 --> 00:06:39.589
He always wants it to be clear that he is in charge
00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:42.391
Of the party.
00:06:42.391 --> 00:06:43.292
He is in charge of the movement,
00:06:43.292 --> 00:06:45.228
That you'll notice that he says this i am maga.
00:06:45.228 --> 00:06:47.396
These people are not maga.
00:06:47.396 --> 00:06:49.131
He very much,
00:06:49.131 --> 00:06:50.166
Frankly, wants to emphasize that maga
00:06:50.166 --> 00:06:52.835
Is centered around him personally,
00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:54.837
And that's important to the president to express.
00:06:54.837 --> 00:06:58.574
And i think it's the efforts to define
00:06:58.574 --> 00:07:02.445
What maga is in a way that would say,
00:07:02.445 --> 00:07:04.547
Oh, trump is not doing a maga thing.
00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:06.449
I think that is ultimately what sets him off the most,
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:08.651
Along with just the efforts to undercut him.
00:07:08.651 --> 00:07:10.620
To be fair, the 25th amendment,
00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.088
Yeah, he was he was asked about tucker,
00:07:12.088 --> 00:07:14.457
I think a week or two ago, and tucker was already being,
00:07:14.457 --> 00:07:17.226
Critical of him, and he kind of brushed it off
00:07:17.226 --> 00:07:20.763
And he said, well, it's okay, you know, and i think i think,
00:07:20.763 --> 00:07:23.766
You know, to your point, i'm surprised
00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:25.268
It took so long in some of these instances,
00:07:25.268 --> 00:07:28.271
We have a tale of two two truths, though.
00:07:28.271 --> 00:07:30.506
So just to
00:07:30.506 --> 00:07:31.607
Put a fine point on it, he offered this other truth
00:07:31.607 --> 00:07:34.043
About the haitian migrant
00:07:34.043 --> 00:07:35.578
That we covered on the show yesterday,
00:07:35.578 --> 00:07:37.813
And i think that's an example
00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:40.283
Of some of his best messaging domestically in recent memory.
00:07:40.283 --> 00:07:44.854
And, of course, the haitian migrant,
00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:46.589
Was not supposed to be in this country, was let in by joe
00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:49.559
Biden, was given temporary protected status
00:07:49.559 --> 00:07:51.761
And then bludgeoned, store clerk to death with a hammer.
00:07:51.761 --> 00:07:55.398
And president trump went off on that.
00:07:55.398 --> 00:07:57.266
The tale of two truths, one i think is distracting.
00:07:57.266 --> 00:08:01.571
I again, i understand why he did it.
00:08:01.571 --> 00:08:03.306
The other is focused right here at home.
00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:06.542
And it was a powerful truth.
00:08:06.542 --> 00:08:07.643
And we'll get into that more.
00:08:07.643 --> 00:08:08.744
And we're going to hit melania next segment as well.
00:08:08.744 --> 00:08:10.713
Her epstein documents,
00:08:10.713 --> 00:08:15.003
Her epstein documents,
00:08:15.003 --> 00:08:21.158
Want to
00:08:21.391 --> 00:08:22.626
Give a little bit more airtime to this haitian truth social.
00:08:22.626 --> 00:08:26.964
And because i again, i think
00:08:26.964 --> 00:08:29.933
President trump at his best is railing against the abuses
00:08:29.933 --> 00:08:33.136
And the pillaging and the,
00:08:33.136 --> 00:08:36.073
The yeah, this is the abuses of this, country of ours.
00:08:36.073 --> 00:08:39.076
And so he says, an illegal alien criminal from haiti
00:08:39.076 --> 00:08:41.144
Who was released into our country by the worst
00:08:41.144 --> 00:08:42.879
President in history, crooked joe biden
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.548
And the radical democrats in congress
00:08:44.548 --> 00:08:46.416
Just beat an innocent woman to death
00:08:46.416 --> 00:08:48.218
With a hammer at a gas station in florida.
00:08:48.218 --> 00:08:49.953
The video of her brutal
00:08:49.953 --> 00:08:51.355
Slaying is one of the most vicious things
00:08:51.355 --> 00:08:53.490
You will ever see.
00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:54.324
And unfortunately, there it is again.
00:08:54.324 --> 00:08:55.759
We have it censored sufficiently.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.195
This animal was allowed to stay here
00:08:58.195 --> 00:08:59.563
Because the biden administration
00:08:59.563 --> 00:09:00.764
Granted him and all haitians temporary protected status,
00:09:00.764 --> 00:09:03.834
A massively abused and fraudulent program
00:09:03.834 --> 00:09:05.902
Which my administration is working to eliminate.
00:09:05.902 --> 00:09:08.271
But deranged liberal district
00:09:08.271 --> 00:09:10.507
Court judges are standing in our way.
00:09:10.507 --> 00:09:13.010
This one killing should be enough
00:09:13.010 --> 00:09:14.344
For these radical judges to stop impeding
00:09:14.344 --> 00:09:16.413
My administration's immigration policies
00:09:16.413 --> 00:09:18.448
And allow us to end this scam once and for all.
00:09:18.448 --> 00:09:20.550
To my fellow
00:09:20.550 --> 00:09:21.718
Republicans, and frankly, all common sense americans,
00:09:21.718 --> 00:09:24.054
Never forget that joe biden and the democrat party turned
00:09:24.054 --> 00:09:27.057
The united states of america into a dumping ground.
00:09:27.057 --> 00:09:29.793
And to that i say yes and amen.
00:09:29.793 --> 00:09:31.395
This is trump, this is pete.
00:09:31.395 --> 00:09:33.163
This is where you want him to be.
00:09:33.163 --> 00:09:35.666
I'll be honest.
00:09:36.033 --> 00:09:36.867
I understand why he picked that fight
00:09:36.867 --> 00:09:39.002
He did yesterday with all the podcast.
00:09:39.002 --> 00:09:41.071
But i wish if every aggressive truth was about something
00:09:41.071 --> 00:09:44.808
Like this, totally grab a worst of the worst scenario
00:09:44.808 --> 00:09:48.445
Of what
00:09:48.445 --> 00:09:49.279
The left has done to this country,
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.514
What they're still trying to do to this country.
00:09:50.514 --> 00:09:52.582
And it was it's so great.
00:09:52.582 --> 00:09:54.418
I remember it happening.
00:09:54.418 --> 00:09:55.619
So much in the first term, for example, when he had the,
00:09:55.619 --> 00:09:57.554
You know, the crap hole countries.
00:09:57.554 --> 00:09:59.322
Yeah, quote
00:09:59.322 --> 00:10:00.023
That leaked
00:10:00.023 --> 00:10:00.924
And it was the biggest story of the day
00:10:00.924 --> 00:10:02.092
Because it was so offensive that he was saying, oh,
00:10:02.092 --> 00:10:04.628
We shouldn't have immigrants from crappy countries.
00:10:04.628 --> 00:10:07.097
And yet he
00:10:07.097 --> 00:10:08.198
Basically won that cycle because ordinary americans
00:10:08.198 --> 00:10:11.368
Don't think we should have infinite
00:10:11.368 --> 00:10:13.070
People come here from crappy. totally.
00:10:13.070 --> 00:10:14.705
The dumping ground line in that tweet, i,
00:10:14.705 --> 00:10:18.175
I wanted to like it viscerally connected.
00:10:18.175 --> 00:10:20.343
Or it was during his, his time in the wilderness
00:10:20.343 --> 00:10:23.146
Where he said, bad immigrants are poisoning
00:10:23.146 --> 00:10:25.482
The blood of america.
00:10:25.482 --> 00:10:26.783
And then they did a poll
00:10:26.783 --> 00:10:27.884
And it turned out, a majority of americans
00:10:27.884 --> 00:10:29.352
Do think immigrants poisoned the blood of the country.
00:10:29.352 --> 00:10:31.788
Cnn, was very upset about that.
00:10:31.788 --> 00:10:34.157
I remember that, but that's where you want him.
00:10:34.157 --> 00:10:35.826
You want cnn upset at him, and you want the base.
00:10:35.826 --> 00:10:38.195
Rallying behind all this is
00:10:38.195 --> 00:10:39.629
This is my whole point with mass deportations, right?
00:10:39.629 --> 00:10:42.466
You hear the line?
00:10:42.466 --> 00:10:43.467
Mass deportations.
00:10:43.467 --> 00:10:44.668
It's only about 5050 issue, about 50% support,
00:10:44.668 --> 00:10:47.404
Whereas worst of the worst, about 75% of american support.
00:10:47.404 --> 00:10:51.575
You can't compare those two buckets the same.
00:10:51.575 --> 00:10:53.610
The 50% that support mass deportation is your base.
00:10:53.610 --> 00:10:56.713
It's your most adamant and ardent supporters.
00:10:56.713 --> 00:10:59.516
They will come out in a midterm.
00:10:59.516 --> 00:11:01.718
Okay.
00:11:01.718 --> 00:11:02.619
That's who we need to rile up the base.
00:11:02.619 --> 00:11:04.554
These kind of tweets are truths.
00:11:04.554 --> 00:11:07.224
Do that.
00:11:07.224 --> 00:11:08.158
They affect the base at a visceral level.
00:11:08.158 --> 00:11:10.227
It gets us fired up.
00:11:10.227 --> 00:11:11.428
And we remember the carnage, the biden years,
00:11:11.428 --> 00:11:13.263
And we want to get out and make sure
00:11:13.263 --> 00:11:14.965
Republicans get elected to support that kind of policy.
00:11:14.965 --> 00:11:17.400
And we talk about where it's worth taking risks on things.
00:11:17.400 --> 00:11:21.338
And sometimes you have people very agitated
00:11:21.338 --> 00:11:25.008
On twitter saying, oh, a judge rules against president trump.
00:11:25.008 --> 00:11:28.178
He should defy this judge.
00:11:28.178 --> 00:11:29.746
I think in 99% of cases, that's not worth doing
00:11:29.746 --> 00:11:34.050
Because it's provoking a crisis when you have a friendly
00:11:34.050 --> 00:11:36.853
Supreme court.
00:11:36.853 --> 00:11:37.754
But as an example, this immigrant
00:11:37.754 --> 00:11:39.823
Who just murdered this woman in florida
00:11:39.823 --> 00:11:41.858
Was the beneficiary of temporary protected status.
00:11:41.858 --> 00:11:44.294
We have been trying to repeal temporary protected status
00:11:44.294 --> 00:11:47.364
On all these groups.
00:11:47.364 --> 00:11:48.365
And you repeatedly are having these district
00:11:48.365 --> 00:11:49.766
Court judges certain cluding in some cases,
00:11:49.766 --> 00:11:52.035
I think there's a florida liberal judge
00:11:52.035 --> 00:11:53.603
Who's been reversed by the supreme court
00:11:53.603 --> 00:11:55.906
Over and over again on questions like this.
00:11:55.906 --> 00:11:58.408
And if you wanted to test the waters where it's worth
00:11:58.408 --> 00:12:01.344
Taking a constitutional risk, it would be
00:12:01.344 --> 00:12:03.680
If we have a judge who's been reversed
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:05.215
On the same thing by the supreme court
00:12:05.215 --> 00:12:07.384
Two, three, four times, we're going to
00:12:07.384 --> 00:12:09.719
Not let them block us from deporting some of these people.
00:12:09.719 --> 00:12:12.823
Yeah, that might be a risk that's worth taming.
00:12:12.823 --> 00:12:14.825
And i think that's kind of where we're all at at the base.
00:12:14.825 --> 00:12:17.127
It's like if we're going
00:12:17.127 --> 00:12:17.994
To spend political capital and spend
00:12:17.994 --> 00:12:20.297
Political will messaging, well, let's get it done.
00:12:20.297 --> 00:12:22.933
On immigration deportations.
00:12:22.933 --> 00:12:25.202
I think it's the most important issue still.
00:12:25.202 --> 00:12:27.637
All right. so we want to quickly pivot.
00:12:27.637 --> 00:12:29.472
We're run out of time already in this segment.
00:12:29.472 --> 00:12:31.074
Only four minutes left i want to get to melanie.
00:12:31.074 --> 00:12:33.543
She surprised everybody at the white house press corps
00:12:33.543 --> 00:12:35.846
Yesterday by taking the podium and addressing epstein.
00:12:35.846 --> 00:12:39.416
And we want to get into it because
00:12:39.416 --> 00:12:40.584
One part of it is truly, i think, important
00:12:40.584 --> 00:12:43.353
That one now is the time for congress to act.
00:12:43.353 --> 00:12:47.424
Epstein was not alone.
00:12:47.891 --> 00:12:50.961
Several prominent male executives resigned
00:12:50.961 --> 00:12:54.264
From their powerful positions after this matter
00:12:54.264 --> 00:12:57.834
Became widely politicized.
00:12:57.834 --> 00:13:01.371
Of course, this doesn't amount to guilt,
00:13:01.371 --> 00:13:04.741
But we still must work openly
00:13:05.375 --> 00:13:07.711
And transparently to uncover the truth.
00:13:07.711 --> 00:13:11.181
I call on congress to provide the women who have been
00:13:12.249 --> 00:13:16.052
Victimized by epstein with the public hearing,
00:13:16.052 --> 00:13:20.023
Specifically centered around the survivors.
00:13:20.023 --> 00:13:23.827
Each and every woman
00:13:24.294 --> 00:13:26.463
Should have her day to tell her story in public.
00:13:26.463 --> 00:13:30.166
If she wishes, then
00:13:30.166 --> 00:13:32.736
And only then, we will have the truth.
00:13:32.736 --> 00:13:35.906
She's taking offense, right?
00:13:35.906 --> 00:13:38.174
The administration has been playing
00:13:38.174 --> 00:13:39.609
Too much defense on this issue.
00:13:39.609 --> 00:13:41.111
The truth still remains that joe biden
00:13:41.111 --> 00:13:43.313
And the democrats didn't release any of this.
00:13:43.313 --> 00:13:45.048
The trump administration has she starts this whole speech
00:13:45.048 --> 00:13:48.418
By saying anything on the internet that you see
00:13:48.418 --> 00:13:50.186
That ties me to epstein is garbage.
00:13:50.186 --> 00:13:51.888
I've already got a bunch of apologies.
00:13:51.888 --> 00:13:53.490
We're going to keep policing these statements.
00:13:53.490 --> 00:13:55.792
Then she says, i want them to get justice,
00:13:55.792 --> 00:13:58.194
Have them testify before congress.
00:13:58.194 --> 00:14:00.297
Well, then this puts the democrats
00:14:00.297 --> 00:14:03.233
In defense because all they want
00:14:03.233 --> 00:14:06.069
And i think this is very clear,
00:14:06.069 --> 00:14:07.604
Is they don't want justice for the victims.
00:14:07.604 --> 00:14:09.639
They want to get trump.
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.607
They want to weaponize epstein to get trump.
00:14:10.607 --> 00:14:13.009
This makes them either say, yeah, good for melania.
00:14:13.009 --> 00:14:15.812
We're good. good. yeah, here we go in. agree.
00:14:15.812 --> 00:14:18.048
In which case that doesn't have nearly as much potency
00:14:18.048 --> 00:14:21.685
From a political standpoint.
00:14:21.685 --> 00:14:23.019
Or they fight back and sort of show their cards
00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:25.422
That this has been a ruse
00:14:25.422 --> 00:14:26.289
The whole time just to get trump.
00:14:26.289 --> 00:14:28.024
Now, what's interesting here
00:14:28.024 --> 00:14:30.427
Is the reaction by the quote unquote survivors.
00:14:30.427 --> 00:14:33.530
They have come out and said, well,
00:14:33.530 --> 00:14:34.998
We've already done enough.
00:14:34.998 --> 00:14:36.132
We shouldn't have to do more, which just they said,
00:14:36.132 --> 00:14:38.001
There's about 15 of them and they signed a statement.
00:14:38.001 --> 00:14:40.704
They are survivors of jeffrey epstein,
00:14:40.704 --> 00:14:42.906
Have already shown extraordinary courage by coming
00:14:42.906 --> 00:14:44.674
Forward, filing reports and giving testimony.
00:14:44.674 --> 00:14:46.910
Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility,
00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:50.280
Not justice. yeah, exactly.
00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:52.015
So this is a very interesting dynamic that's emerging.
00:14:52.015 --> 00:14:54.351
And i do think this has the opportunity
00:14:54.351 --> 00:14:55.919
With pam bondi leaving, to reset the deck at the doj.
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.756
Maybe there's an opportunity to be take the offensive foot,
00:14:59.756 --> 00:15:02.892
Which could help in a lot of ways.
00:15:02.892 --> 00:15:05.128
So let's go ahead.
00:15:05.128 --> 00:15:05.662
And this is on a plane,
00:15:05.662 --> 00:15:06.563
A luna congresswoman on a plane,
00:15:06.563 --> 00:15:08.064
A luna talking about the coconspirators,
00:15:08.064 --> 00:15:10.400
Which is an interesting clip.
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:11.568
Cut five, that jeffrey epstein was running a intelligence
00:15:11.568 --> 00:15:15.372
Gathering operation.
00:15:15.372 --> 00:15:16.439
In my professional opinion, i do believe
00:15:16.439 --> 00:15:18.375
It was a honeypot operation.
00:15:18.375 --> 00:15:20.176
And i do believe that there is a list of individuals
00:15:20.176 --> 00:15:22.579
Who did engage in trafficking was given these plea deals,
00:15:22.579 --> 00:15:25.382
And i'm going to name those individuals right now.
00:15:25.382 --> 00:15:27.617
The first one would be leslie groff.
00:15:27.617 --> 00:15:29.753
The second one, sarah kellen, the third one,
00:15:29.753 --> 00:15:32.122
Nadia markova, and the fourth one, adriana ros.
00:15:32.122 --> 00:15:35.658
All of these women engaged, trafficking, engaged
00:15:35.658 --> 00:15:38.695
In the trafficking of minors as adults.
00:15:38.695 --> 00:15:40.697
They were working
00:15:40.697 --> 00:15:41.731
And complicit with jeffrey epstein's operation.
00:15:41.731 --> 00:15:44.667
And in my opinion,
00:15:44.667 --> 00:15:45.802
They are not to be given victim status because they did
00:15:45.802 --> 00:15:48.938
Partake in harming, harming young girls.
00:15:48.938 --> 00:15:51.741
Those are people that have been given
00:15:51.741 --> 00:15:53.410
Plea deals as if they were victims,
00:15:53.410 --> 00:15:55.412
But they were in on a polina luna's perspective.
00:15:55.412 --> 00:15:58.681
Coconspirators because they helped traffic the young women.
00:15:58.681 --> 00:16:01.518
To jeffrey epstein, another name that's come up
00:16:01.518 --> 00:16:03.753
A lot is hailey robson, who sort of now
00:16:03.753 --> 00:16:07.190
Notoriously spoke with roxana after the state of the union.
00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:10.093
She's another one that's been named
00:16:10.093 --> 00:16:11.428
As potentially trafficking young women as well.
00:16:11.428 --> 00:16:13.863
So this is a developing situation,
00:16:13.863 --> 00:16:15.865
And we are going to keep our eyes on it,
00:16:15.865 --> 00:16:17.434
Because there's a lot of moving pieces here.
00:16:17.434 --> 00:16:19.169
And the dec just got reset.
00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:22.272
We'll be right back.
00:16:22.739 --> 00:16:26.009
We'll be right back.
00:16:26.009 --> 00:16:32.549
All right.
00:16:32.849 --> 00:16:33.917
We want to pivot here to what's going on at uvu.
00:16:33.917 --> 00:16:36.753
Obviously, that is the campus where charlie was assassinated
00:16:36.753 --> 00:16:40.457
On september 10th, 2025.
00:16:40.457 --> 00:16:42.292
And we have the chapter president, caleb chilcott,
00:16:42.292 --> 00:16:45.095
Who is, like i said, the tp, usa, uvu chapter president,
00:16:45.095 --> 00:16:48.998
With us now, caleb, welcome back to the show.
00:16:48.998 --> 00:16:52.001
Thank you so much.
00:16:52.435 --> 00:16:53.103
I'm so glad to be here.
00:16:53.103 --> 00:16:54.370
Yeah, well, you and you got a haircut.
00:16:54.370 --> 00:16:55.805
Caleb, you look at you.
00:16:55.805 --> 00:16:57.107
I got a bit of a change.
00:16:57.107 --> 00:16:58.208
Last time, it was, you know, it was, longer.
00:16:58.208 --> 00:17:01.845
Anyways, good to see you.
00:17:01.845 --> 00:17:02.846
So there's controversy brewing at uvu, and i hate
00:17:02.846 --> 00:17:05.949
To be the bearer of bad news, but essentially, there has been
00:17:05.949 --> 00:17:09.686
A commencement speaker that has been chosen.
00:17:09.686 --> 00:17:13.289
And this her her name is sharon mcmahon,
00:17:13.289 --> 00:17:16.526
And she's been selected as a 2026 commencement
00:17:16.526 --> 00:17:19.162
Speaker to fill our audience in.
00:17:19.162 --> 00:17:22.198
Caleb, why this is causing a stir.
00:17:22.198 --> 00:17:24.667
And you've even issued a statement
00:17:24.667 --> 00:17:26.136
On behalf of the chapter there at tp, uvu.
00:17:26.136 --> 00:17:29.105
Tell us what's going on.
00:17:29.105 --> 00:17:30.773
Yeah.
00:17:31.007 --> 00:17:32.108
So two days or even a couple days after charlie was
00:17:32.108 --> 00:17:35.845
Assassinated, sharon made a post on her instagram.
00:17:35.845 --> 00:17:41.184
Sharon said so with a series of out of context quotes
00:17:41.184 --> 00:17:45.355
Basically tarnishing, charlie's name.
00:17:45.355 --> 00:17:48.124
And then when she started
00:17:48.124 --> 00:17:49.826
To get a little bit of slack on that,
00:17:49.826 --> 00:17:51.327
She then deleted the post and then four days later
00:17:51.327 --> 00:17:54.264
Made a very just underwhelming statement,
00:17:54.264 --> 00:17:57.500
Kind of disavowing political violence,
00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:59.669
By saying that political violence wants us hopeless,
00:17:59.669 --> 00:18:03.373
Refusing to give us, to give it
00:18:03.373 --> 00:18:05.275
That kind of power is its own kind of defiance.
00:18:05.275 --> 00:18:07.911
And that's what she said, mentioning political violence,
00:18:07.911 --> 00:18:10.680
Charlie's assassination.
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.248
And it's just kind of
00:18:12.248 --> 00:18:15.084
Like i said in my statement, just disheartening.
00:18:15.084 --> 00:18:18.054
That you've you would not even, i guess, do their research.
00:18:18.054 --> 00:18:21.724
And maybe this, this maybe they did.
00:18:21.724 --> 00:18:25.361
Yeah.
00:18:25.361 --> 00:18:26.262
And they're just laughing at our face.
00:18:26.262 --> 00:18:27.497
To bring her on as a commencement
00:18:27.497 --> 00:18:29.632
Speaker is kind of just disgusting.
00:18:29.632 --> 00:18:32.335
Yeah, it's a slap in the face.
00:18:32.335 --> 00:18:34.437
It really is.
00:18:34.437 --> 00:18:35.605
Go ahead.
00:18:35.605 --> 00:18:36.573
Blake, i just wanted to read some of them.
00:18:36.573 --> 00:18:37.740
There was a whole sequence of posts
00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:39.442
That she made on the carousel.
00:18:39.442 --> 00:18:40.977
Yeah, it was just a whole sequence of them.
00:18:40.977 --> 00:18:43.446
But i want to get some of them.
00:18:43.446 --> 00:18:44.747
Like, if you are a charlie kirk fan, you might not realize
00:18:44.747 --> 00:18:47.083
Why there is so much backlash to posts eulogizing his death.
00:18:47.083 --> 00:18:51.120
And she says to many americans,
00:18:51.754 --> 00:18:53.690
Especially if you are
00:18:53.690 --> 00:18:54.824
Black, lgbtq or muslim, charlie kirk was not a person
00:18:54.824 --> 00:18:58.061
Who engaged in good faith debates on college campuses,
00:18:58.061 --> 00:19:01.698
And she has quotes from him that she says are bad.
00:19:01.698 --> 00:19:04.934
The controversy is not about having a difference of opinion
00:19:04.934 --> 00:19:07.770
Or preaching the gospel.
00:19:07.770 --> 00:19:08.805
It is about repeating bigoted ideas on a stage
00:19:08.805 --> 00:19:11.641
That reached tens of millions.
00:19:11.641 --> 00:19:14.644
It is important to remember that the incredible tragedy
00:19:14.644 --> 00:19:16.713
Of a public assassination does not erase the harm
00:19:16.713 --> 00:19:19.916
Many experienced from his words,
00:19:19.916 --> 00:19:21.551
And the ensuing actions his followers took.
00:19:21.551 --> 00:19:24.654
I have no idea what she's referring to there,
00:19:24.654 --> 00:19:26.456
But she's suggesting
00:19:26.456 --> 00:19:27.690
He has some sort of hosting a violence mongers hosting free
00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:31.194
Speech events
00:19:31.194 --> 00:19:32.328
Where people stream revivals to the front of the line
00:19:32.328 --> 00:19:35.031
And she says these are just a handful of examples
00:19:35.031 --> 00:19:37.734
After she had quotes from them.
00:19:37.734 --> 00:19:39.068
And to many, when they see people treating
00:19:39.068 --> 00:19:41.104
Charlie kirk
00:19:41.104 --> 00:19:41.771
Like a martyr,
00:19:41.771 --> 00:19:43.039
It seems like they are also endorsing these ideas.
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.942
So this is the woman who's going to be the speaker at uvu,
00:19:45.942 --> 00:19:49.078
At the very campus where an assassin took his life.
00:19:49.078 --> 00:19:52.782
And that's what i, i'm kind of want to get into this.
00:19:52.782 --> 00:19:56.586
What you said there, caleb,
00:19:56.586 --> 00:19:57.954
You said they didn't do their research,
00:19:57.954 --> 00:20:00.089
And i would probably presume to believe they did.
00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:04.494
Do their research.
00:20:04.494 --> 00:20:05.495
And they don't want to be associated
00:20:05.495 --> 00:20:08.464
With this horrific event in a way or something.
00:20:08.464 --> 00:20:11.634
Right.
00:20:11.634 --> 00:20:12.669
It's almost like an effort to distance themselves
00:20:12.669 --> 00:20:14.904
From some, i guess, some perceived
00:20:14.904 --> 00:20:17.040
Alignment with turning point.
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:18.474
And somehow or i'm not exactly sure what the the psychology
00:20:18.474 --> 00:20:21.944
Would be behind it, but i find it pretty gross.
00:20:21.944 --> 00:20:24.314
You've made this statement.
00:20:24.314 --> 00:20:25.415
I want to kind of give you your your statement.
00:20:25.415 --> 00:20:28.251
It's due here
00:20:28.251 --> 00:20:29.619
Because i think the final section is really well said,
00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:33.122
Because you say universities should welcome diverse
00:20:33.122 --> 00:20:35.158
Viewpoints, platforming someone who treated a historic
00:20:35.158 --> 00:20:37.694
And tragic political assassination
00:20:37.694 --> 00:20:39.495
Not as a moment to grieve, but as an opportunity
00:20:39.495 --> 00:20:41.130
To create content, is tone deaf and disrespectful
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:43.700
To those affected, especially on this campus.
00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:47.036
There are countless better alternatives.
00:20:47.036 --> 00:20:48.838
Amen.
00:20:48.838 --> 00:20:50.273
And the
00:20:50.506 --> 00:20:51.374
Fact that the university is choosing
00:20:51.374 --> 00:20:52.442
Mcmahon is entirely disappointing to all of us.
00:20:52.442 --> 00:20:54.477
Still reeling from his loss, i couldn't be more disappointed
00:20:54.477 --> 00:20:57.046
In the university for such a hurtful and callous decision.
00:20:57.046 --> 00:21:00.583
Now, i saw you post this on
00:21:00.583 --> 00:21:01.984
Social and some of the comments below.
00:21:01.984 --> 00:21:03.619
I actually chimed in because it was so irritating.
00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:06.556
Some of the comments
00:21:06.556 --> 00:21:07.523
Below said whatever happened to free speech?
00:21:07.523 --> 00:21:10.093
And my my reaction is, well, what about our
00:21:10.093 --> 00:21:13.062
Right to free speech to be upset at this decision?
00:21:13.062 --> 00:21:16.065
Do you not understand that free speech, how it works?
00:21:16.065 --> 00:21:18.534
It's a two way street, folks, that yeah, the university.
00:21:18.534 --> 00:21:21.304
Sure, maybe they have the right to make a dumb decision.
00:21:21.304 --> 00:21:24.107
But you and your chapter members, us here at charlie
00:21:24.107 --> 00:21:27.610
Kirk show, we have our free speech
00:21:27.610 --> 00:21:29.679
To criticize how stupid that decision is.
00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:33.883
Exactly.
00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:35.351
And i mean, like, we're not trying to do cancel culture.
00:21:35.351 --> 00:21:37.286
That's not what we want.
00:21:37.286 --> 00:21:38.688
We're just highlighting just the poor slap
00:21:38.688 --> 00:21:41.290
In the face decision that uvu is making on
00:21:41.290 --> 00:21:45.294
Just is a slap in the face to us and the millions
00:21:45.294 --> 00:21:48.498
Of other americans
00:21:48.498 --> 00:21:49.532
Who likes charlie and want to continue his voice.
00:21:49.532 --> 00:21:53.369
Like i said in my statement, there are
00:21:53.369 --> 00:21:55.938
Millions of other possible speakers who they could bring.
00:21:55.938 --> 00:21:59.142
But the same school year that charlie was assassinated
00:21:59.142 --> 00:22:02.745
On my campus, they bring someone who,
00:22:02.745 --> 00:22:05.648
Days after he was killed,
00:22:05.648 --> 00:22:07.550
Just tries to profit off misinformation.
00:22:07.550 --> 00:22:10.820
You know,
00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:12.021
And we're just going to say it right now,
00:22:12.021 --> 00:22:13.156
Like we're calling
00:22:13.156 --> 00:22:14.390
On the university to address this controversy very publicly.
00:22:14.390 --> 00:22:18.227
We want you to publicly do it.
00:22:18.227 --> 00:22:20.062
We want you to acknowledge the fact that your decision
00:22:20.062 --> 00:22:22.932
Has been hurtful to our students on that chapter
00:22:22.932 --> 00:22:25.868
That lived through a tragedy
00:22:25.868 --> 00:22:26.969
None of them should have had to endure or witness,
00:22:26.969 --> 00:22:29.939
And that this is a slap in the face.
00:22:29.939 --> 00:22:31.707
And we want you to
00:22:31.707 --> 00:22:32.742
Acknowledge this uvu, because it's disgusting.
00:22:32.742 --> 00:22:35.578
And, you know, i just want to underscore
00:22:35.578 --> 00:22:37.346
We're not we're not we're not doing cancel culture.
00:22:37.346 --> 00:22:40.116
We're we're using our first amendment rights
00:22:40.116 --> 00:22:42.285
Here, caleb,
00:22:42.285 --> 00:22:43.352
To say that you've made a terrible decision, uvu.
00:22:43.352 --> 00:22:45.988
And we think it's intentional.
00:22:45.988 --> 00:22:47.423
If it wasn't, if you were unaware,
00:22:47.423 --> 00:22:49.225
If you didn't do your research, fine.
00:22:49.225 --> 00:22:51.260
Say that.
00:22:51.260 --> 00:22:52.428
Or maybe cancel the speaker and pick somebody better.
00:22:52.428 --> 00:22:56.165
Yeah, i fully agree.
00:22:56.632 --> 00:22:58.067
Yeah, the ball's in your court.
00:22:58.067 --> 00:22:59.669
We can't force you to do anything.
00:22:59.669 --> 00:23:01.404
But this is our point of view,
00:23:01.404 --> 00:23:02.872
And that's our first amendment right to say so.
00:23:02.872 --> 00:23:04.907
Caleb great work man.
00:23:04.907 --> 00:23:06.676
You're articulate, you're strong, you're morally clear.
00:23:06.676 --> 00:23:09.846
And, you know,
00:23:10.179 --> 00:23:11.380
You just are such a great representative
00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:13.149
For turning point students all across the country.
00:23:13.149 --> 00:23:15.685
And, you know, i'm sorry this is happening.
00:23:15.685 --> 00:23:17.820
But you're doing a great job.
00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:19.689
Continue on with the memorial, in charlie's honor, and we're
00:23:19.689 --> 00:23:23.292
