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.

Andrew Klavan (1:17)

All right. Welcome, everybody. It's October 6th, 2026 We're here at the Y Reef Eye Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Honored to be with you all across this fruited plane, this beautiful country of ours. So we're nearing the midterms. We've got breaking news to get to. This story was going viral on X yesterday, and it was brought to you by none other than TPSA Frontlines, well, it was Brandon Dre and Tayler Hansen. They were down at the border yesterday, and Tayler joins us in studio. Honored to have you here, my friend. It's just a quick hop and a jump up from the border up to Phoenix, so happy to have you, man.

Tayler Hansen (1:53)

Yep, thanks for having me.

Andrew Klavan (1:54)

So this story, if you guys haven't heard about it, there is an autonomous zone that has developed right at the border where they're trying to construct the border wall, and there was a tree in place that a bunch of, sort of like, if you just put your mind back in the summer of love, the Chash Chop Fiasco in Seattle, Washington, it was similar, it is similar to that. You have a bunch of crazed leftist, Antifa types camping out at the border, trying to block the demolition of a tree, to take out this tree that would get in the way of a border wall. Why don't you tell us what you saw here? We've got some great footage, and you guys ended up getting into some scuffles with these folks.

Tayler Hansen (2:33)

Yeah, to say the least. Well, it was fascinating. They went down there the day before because they were doing a direct day of action. They called for this national direct day of action from people all around the country to come down and be in solidarity with those in Locale that are stopping this genocidal administration.

Andrew Klavan (2:49)

Locale, Locale, Locale is-

Blake (2:51)

Locale, Arizona.

Andrew Klavan (2:53)

Okay, it's a town named Locale.

Tayler Hansen (2:54)

It's actually a ghost town, so it's literally completely abandoned. We, to put it in perspective, we had to drive from Patagonia down to Locale. It took about an hour and 10 minutes, and it is completely unpaved off road. So these people are coming from all around the country, and driving, they're going to fly into Tucson, and then they're driving hours down this unpaved road to go and then camp on private property right on the basically exterior of what is the Roosevelt easement. So by doing so-

Andrew Klavan (3:19)

That's the picture of the Roosevelt.

Blake (3:21)

Yeah, that's the Roosevelt easement.

Andrew Klavan (3:22)

That road right there is the easement.

Tayler Hansen (3:24)

So you have, actually this area there, they're trying to build a double border wall because it's called a quick hitter spot. So this means that you have cartel activity, human smuggling, drug smuggling activity happening in the corridor at a higher rate than anywhere else. So it's a high priority to get this double border wall up. But these activists, they've kind of almost posed themselves as environmentalists. And as this is dragged on, it's been going on since July 27th.

Andrew Klavan (3:45)

This is what's hilarious. So it's just July 27th.

Blake (3:48)

July 27th has been happening.

Andrew Klavan (3:49)

This is ridiculous. I'm going to make some phone calls because I find this to be ridiculous. So these squatters, these criminals, Antifa types have been squatting on this land and growing in numbers since July.
