CAIR’s Mobilization + The Woke Crusade Backfires

Charlie Kirk (0:03)

My name is Charlie Kirk.

SPEAKER_2 (0:05)

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.

Charlie Kirk (0:49)

Here we go.

Andrew Kloster (1:17)

All right, welcome, everybody. It is Monday, September 21st, 2026 We're here at the Y-Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Blake is on assignment today. So we're holding it down without Blake, but we'll see him tomorrow. Just texting with him. He's still active. He's still there. Anyways, we're going to get right into it. You saw those clips. That today is the one year anniversary of the Memorial, where we honor Charlie's life and legacy of truly powerful, historic, memorable day. And so the team put together those clips for the cold open. I hope you enjoyed it.

It brought back a lot of memories sitting here. And so send me your thoughts. Freedom at charliekirk.com. What do you remember from that day? Do you still think about it? I still think about it all the time. One of the final endorsements that Charlie made was in the state of Florida.

We obviously have Andy Biggs here in Arizona, but he also endorsed Byron Donalds for governor of the great state of Florida. And Byron is joining us now. Congressman, future governor of the great state of Florida, the Sunshine State, welcome back to the show. It's good to have you, my friend. How are we doing over there?

Byron Donalds (2:28)

It's good to be back with you. Look, we're doing really good in Florida. Forty two days to go to election day.

By the way, for the folks in Arizona, make sure you get out and vote for Andy Biggs. You need a real leader who is going to make sure that Arizona gets on the right track. But here in Florida, we're just working hard every day. Criss-crossing the state, talking to voters. We share our events online. We do live events with active Q&A from the voters of our great state because we want people to be able, not just to ask their question, but to actually get a real policy response about how we're going to have the best state in America continue to be the best state in America while we drive down costs for young people and for seniors on fixed income in our state.

Andrew Kloster (3:13)

Well, listen, I think it's a really important thing that you just said, that you are going straight to the voters. It's open Q&A, ask your questions, I'm going to give you back an answer. Because we had a phone call from somebody in your state on Friday, and she wanted to know how she could get more involved, get her friends to come out and vote for you. I think it just perplexed a lot of our audience. We're going, wait, Florida, the best-run state in the country, is there a real chance that they could go the other way?

Why would Florida go any other direction other than the direction it's already going in? And so I started diving into it over the weekend, Byron, and I found out that your opponent, David Jolly, what a name, by the way, he won't even debate you. He will not debate you. I'm going to play the clip, and I'm going to let you respond on the other side.

SPEAKER_5 (4:03)

You and Byron Donalds are now debating about debates. His campaign says it has accepted three offers. Your campaign says that it has accepted two different ones. But with election day getting closer, you still have not agreed to be on the same stage. Why is this so complicated? Are you confident a debate will take place?
