UVU's Security Errors + The Hegseth Impeachment?

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.

Andrew (1:17)

Welcome, everybody. It is September 16, 2026 Blake is back in studio. Howdy, Blake.

Blake (1:23)

The Green Bay Packers tried to make me so depressed, I could never come back, but I did.

Andrew (1:28)

You're back.

Blake (1:28)

I've overcome.

Andrew (1:29)

You're back, and you're better than ever.

So here's, we've got a big packed show today, all right? So I want to just kind of lay out the state of play and how we plan to get through it. Yes, the big breaking news this morning is that the Kirk family has filed a notice of claim. What? That's not a lawsuit, but it's a notice of intent to file one, and it sort of extends the statute of limitations. We're going to get into all of that at about the halfway mark of this hour, okay? So we're obviously, I've been dealing with it all morning, I've been doing interviews, and we will explain everything that is in that document, everything that is laid out there, some of the security failures that happened at UVU and why that is moving forward.

But we're going to get to it at the 1230 mark, East Coast, okay? So hang with us right there. We've got a great expert that's going to be coming on who understands crowd control, that understands security at large events. So we're going to get there in just a minute, in a couple of minutes. But first, we're going to get to, and I think this is really important, because the news broke while we were on the air yesterday, and that is that Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Now this caught all of us off guard yesterday. We didn't really know what to make of it, but we now know more. We have more information. And it's kind of what you might expect from a libertarian leaning person like Thomas Massie. Now he lost his primary, he's on his way out. Obviously he's making what he feels is the most of his time here. Okay, so what is he alleging that Pete Hegseth has done? So Massie is accusing Hegseth of deliberately killing civilians. Now you might remember when the first strikes in Iran happened, there was an Iranian school that was hit, a bunch of kids died, terrible tragedy. So he's accusing Hegseth of deliberately killing civilians in that strike, okay? He's accusing Hegseth of extrajudicial killings. And this is related to the Venezuelan narco boat blowing those up, alright? So that's another thing. By the way, you had an interesting note. You were very skeptical of that whole thing because you were worried we were going to get some fishermen.

Blake (3:48)

I was skeptical of that because I just felt, even if you think it's great to blow up drug smugglers, it just felt like the situation where it was a matter of time until we'd inevitably blow up the wrong boat. I just feel like we've never actually had that case where it just turned out, oh, but this was obviously just a fishing boat and was destroyed. So I will give them credit that we haven't had that story.

Andrew (4:09)

It sounds like a lot of the drug smuggling activity ceased once they started blowing those up. Fentanyl deaths are down about 50 percent. Yeah. Huge, huge. So he's accusing them of extrajudicial killings, okay. He's accusing Hegseth of suppressing free speech by investigating Democrats like Mark Kelly, who I believe were trying to foment insurrection in the armed forces, telling them to disobey unlawful orders, okay. But what is unlawful? Who's going to determine that? Okay. They were trying to foment, absolutely foment insurrection in the military, in my opinion. He was right to hold Mark Kelly accountable. And finally, Massie accuses Hegseth of kidnapping. Who did he kidnap?
