Charlie Kirk (0:03)
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 going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

Alexander Marlow (1:17)
All right, welcome, everybody. September 29, 2026 I am still in our nation's capital, but Blake is holding it down at the Y-Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. How are we doing, Blake?
Blake (1:28)
I'm doing great. Not only do I have your mic flag, I have my mic flag, I have two mic flags. You have none. You don't even have a blank mic flag on that microphone.
Alexander Marlow (1:37)
I'm not going to quibble this morning. I'm not in the mood, Blake, but I heard it's raining in Phoenix. It is.
Blake (1:44)
I told you it rains all the time here. It rained a bunch yesterday. I actually got soaked. We were out walking to the nearby Starbucks, got completely drenched. It rained the day before.
Alexander Marlow (1:54)
We don't do Starbucks or anything. I think it's going to rain today. Wow. Anyways, I'm missing the rain in Phoenix, which seems to be my usual routine, which is why I don't believe it rains like Blake thinks it does in Phoenix. Listen, I want to start the show off with a little order of business. Blake and I debated whether we should even go into it at all, but we got flooded with emails from you guys, so we know that it's on your mind. And then listen, the story went mega viral yesterday on social media. I was aware of it. I was watching it play out.
I haven't really dove into it too much, but of course I'm talking about some of the allegations that were made against Candace Owens. Obviously, she's made many allegations against us, and therefore a lot of you were, I think, enjoying the stories that unfolded. I just want to say a couple of things. I appreciate the emails. Thank you guys for thinking of us. Thank you for supporting us.
In general terms, I don't love the salacious aspect of politics where if you have disagreements with somebody, you dumpster dive and you try and scandalize all of their past. And I don't like that. OK, I think this should be a conversation about ideas, about the future of the country, about values. But in this instance, I will say I understand I'm gonna relate to a lot of your emails because of the manner in which. Said person has attacked us, has attacked the organization, has attacked Erica.
Blake (3:21)
Ultimately, even when it's funny. The purpose of this show and the purpose of this organization is to save America. Not to make jokes about carpets.
Though it's very tempting. And we know all of you have very strong opinions on it, but...
Alexander Marlow (3:36)
Listen, yeah, I just want to say, like, listen, in this one instance, I understand why you guys are responding the way you are, I understand why the... Internet is responding the way it is. I don't love it. I don't have to love it. I don't even love it in this instance if I'm just being completely... I kind of do. I kind of do. But...
But, you know, we do want it to be about the ideas and listen, I understand why you guys are reacting to it. That's all I'm going to say. That's all I'm going to say. I understand why you guys are sending us so many emails. OK, I just want to address the elephant in the room because some people on the Internet are not.
Blake (4:10)
Someone is definitely not.
Alexander Marlow (4:12)
