We Will NEVER Surrender
The Charlie Kirk Show
September 14, 2026
It took only three days for some wretched creature to attack Charlie's statue and memorial at Turning Point headquarters. But we will not be intimidated and we will never surrender to the left's anarchic threats and violence. New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman joins.

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, 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 Surabian (1:17)
All right. Welcome back, everybody. It's Monday, September 14th here at the Y-Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Honored to be with you all as always. We have Blake Neff. Mr. Blake is in an undisclosed location unless he chooses to disclose it.
Blake Neff (1:34)
It's South Dakota.
Andrew Surabian (1:37)
He's a Sioux Falls guy. He's very proud of that. And why shouldn't he be? It's a beautiful place. Great American Patriots. By the way, the Dakotas have one of the highest birth rates in the country.
And you can tell if a nation or a people or a community believe in themselves if they are procreating. It's a very, very clear sign. A people believes and believe in themselves if they want to have babies and bring them into this world. So good for the Dakotas. Blake, we all woke up on Sunday morning with a terrible news story that we were forced to confront. I was on my way to church. I was taking the kids out for a big day with some other kids. And in the midst of that, guess what?
We find out that on Saturday evening, late at night, in the dead of night, Vandals, looks like a group of them, swarmed Charlie's statue that was just unveiled, and they vandalized it. And they obviously they mocked the manner in which Charlie was killed.
They spray painted red, which we all know the color of red, what that was meant to signify. And then they also vandalized the nearby sign. And they crossed out Charlie's face again. And noticeably, the name of Jesus. Now some people say that they wrote Satan over that. I'm not sure if I can see that or not. But nevertheless, it was detestable, vile, and ugly.
But the team sprung into action. I was calling Tyler at probably as early as 630 in the morning when I heard the news, he was already en route to campus. He and a team worked hard on it. Ryan, who lives nearby, actually dedicated most of his Sunday to helping clean that up along with some other team members. And so we're grateful to everybody that got the thing back and looking good as new. So there it is restored. We've got the signs replaced already. So obviously, evil may never sleep. They did this in the dead of night, Blake, as I mentioned. But neither do we. And we restored it and we are safeguarding it. It's got 24, 7 surveillance and security. Guarding that statue, it was only there temporarily. It was always supposed to be just there for a couple of days in honor of marking the one year anniversary of losing Charlie. And we do have aspirations that that statue will end up in Statuary Hall at the US. Capitol. I don't know if that's fully been determined yet, but that's kind of one of our hopes. And anyway, so Blake, what did you make of this? I've already expounded on it with other media outlets, but I want to hear from you.
Blake Neff (4:12)
Well, it's very, it's very revealing. And is this as bad as what happened to Charlie a year ago? No, it's not. Is it as bad as a lot of things antifa types do? It's not. But it's one of those smaller actions that is super indicative of the values that these people have. Andrew, I think you'd agree. It would never occur to us in a million years to vandalize a statue honoring someone on the left who, especially if they'd been heinously murdered or died some tragic death. Even someone we might criticize, like, let's say George Floyd as an example, we would never go and vandalize a George Floyd statue. That would be heinous. That would be disgusting. And yet it took not even three days for, as you said, apparently a group of people call up your friends and go, let's go deface and desecrate a monument to someone who was assassinated. And apparently that's a sort of friend group that they have. And there's this very animalistic, anti-civilizational element to the left that's very disturbing. And it's something Charlie warned about. It's the same impulse that makes you celebrate Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson. It's that same impulse that makes them whoop and holler over looting, over destroying a target, over ripping down other statues that we've seen across the country. It's this very destructive impulse in the left. And we have to be frank and we have to be brave in confronting it. We can't concede the public square to these people. So if that statue doesn't go to Statuary Hall, I saw Tyler mention we might have to keep that statue out where everyone can see it just so that we cannot be intimidated by these freaks.
