The Indian Immigration Debate + New Butler Shooting Mysteries

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.

All right, welcome, everybody, September 15th, 2026

We're here from the Y-Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona, honored to be with you as always.

Blake is stranded in South Dakota. That's all right, Blake. We still love you.

Blake (1:34)

The problem with living in God's country is God only lets a couple flights a day leave it. And if that flight gets delayed, you're stuck an extra day.

Alexander Marlow (1:41)

Well, that's all right. My family probably appreciates it.

We have some breaking news and it strikes me as interesting and I'm sure that the haters will love it, but I am distinctly intrigued by the Thomas Crooks story out of Butler PA. It's one of those stories that never has felt like we've gotten the full picture. And I'm not alleging grand conspiracy just yet, but I am very intrigued. We get new details that emerge today and President Trump is chiming in, and so we want to unpack all of that. It's breaking news this morning from the New York Post. They got the scoop. Cremation of would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks' body was paid for by an anonymous donor. So an anonymous donor paid for the cremation of President Trump's would-be assassin Thomas Crooks just days after the deadly Butler PA rally shooting. According to federal records reviewed by The Post, the revelation was included in a trove of documents provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican out of Iowa, good man, as part of his ongoing inquiry into the first Trump assassination attempt. That's one reason to stop the reading right there. The first Trump assassination attempt. There have been multiple after all.

So this is very strange because more and more revelations are coming out about this. Tom Elliott on his sub stack, tomselliot.substack.com has been reviewing a trove of documents. And then this broke today. So he added it on. He said 10 basically suspicious things about what we're learning from the Crooks assassination attempt. So Blake, I can stop right there if you want to chime in. But are you suspicious at least at this point?

Blake (3:32)

I would say it's I don't want to say suspicious. I would say interested. It flags a lot of stuff that makes you raise a bit of an eyebrow. So for example, the day before the shooting, Crooks was at a rifle range. He signed in. We know it was him apparently. And apparently, he spent a very long time interacting with another person, an unknown club member on the range. And did the FBI follow up on this to find out who that specific guy was? Do we have a specific reason that we know that person wasn't suspicious? Was he just another guy on the range? At least from this info, it appears that's unresolved. They also flag, the contents of his bag seem a little unusual. It includes a tape measure, a red Sharpie, a hyper tough stapler, and a box of staples.

Elliot says, make of that what you will. The agents didn't. I'm thinking that might actually be the stuff he took to the shooting range.

You could staple up a target. But it's stuff like that. And then four encrypted Belgian email accounts. Don't know what's going on there. There's just a lot of this stuff.

Yeah, that to me is one of the more interesting pieces of this, right? He seemed to have connection online. He didn't write a lot. There was no manifestos. His dad described him as not a writer. By the way, his dad's account of Thomas Crooks is very, very strange. He would pace around, they said, dancing and whispering in the middle of the night, and pace around the home. His dad made jokes about him, saying, are you hearing voices? I think his dad probably was a little bit weirded out by his own son, and his son said, no voices, I just talk to myself.
