1:23Angie Sullivan:All right, the Jeffrey Epstein files are going nowhere. And I mean nowhere. They are so back up at the top of the news cycle because the president of the United States is covering up with all of his MAGA Christian supporters that he's at the epicenter of the Epstein files. And it's so back up at the top of the news cycle. You guys, the New York Times is even digging up conversations that Trump had with Charlie Kirk before Charlie Kirk was murdered. Pop this up. Breaking, Donald Trump reportedly told aides he was unhappy with Charlie Kirk and other influential supporters for alleging a Jeffrey Epstein cover up and called Kirk to reprimand him just weeks before his assassination, according to New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

2:08Angie Sullivan:But it gets even worse for Trump and Turning Point. So Turning Point has had to admit that they used AI of Charlie Kirk saying that he wants if something were to happen to him, that he wanted his wife to take over. Pop this up. TP USA leadership admits using AI to create the video they circulated of Charlie Kirk saying he wants Erica Kirk to replace him if he dies. The message here is, you guys, everything in the MAGA movement is built and based upon lies, appearances, and they even have to fake their support. Remember when Ashley St. Clair was on our show and she said this, play the clip. Clearly, something's wrong with her, objectively.

2:51Angie Sullivan:Did you see the Unfuck America? They just did this whole expose on how so many of the turning point chapters are fake, like they're ghost chapters. They don't exist. So it looks like, at least from their reporting, that they're just boosting these numbers for donors to make it look like they have more of a student movement and operation than they do. So Ashley Sinclair is correct. And she was inside the Death Star for a very long time. A bombshell investigation by the organization Unfuck America is pulling back the curtain on how Turning Point USA is inflating their presence nationwide, which Ashley St.

3:28Angie Sullivan:Clair, I want to remind you guys, used to be in a relationship with Elon Musk, has a child with him. She's abundantly aware of how much MAGA feigns and or artificially produces support. Pop this up. The allegations stem from an investigation released by the Unfuck America Tour. One former Turning Point USA field representative said I was handed 12 chapters and only seven of them were actually real. She described bounced phone numbers, fake contact information and relatives allegedly listed as chapter founders. Investigators claimed they reviewed 72 schools listed as verified Turning Point USA chapters and found only seven active groups.

4:18Angie Sullivan:The investigation found that despite advertising the organization having 3 ,500 chapters across the country, the real number was closer to 900 pumps. 900. This follows a pattern for Turning Point. In 2020, the Washington Post reported that the organization paid Arizona teenagers to post coordinated disinformation on social media. So here's what I want to say about Turning Point. Turning Point is predatorial. It is a predatorial organization that engages in psychological and emotional grooming. They want to capture these kids when they're trying to fit in right after they go out to college. And they appeal to everybody's worst impulses, much like Trump does.

5:08Angie Sullivan:Here's the thing. This whole movement, the turning point movement is going to face plant. Yeah, there's a bunch of Bible thumping women that, you know, probably have really screwed up husbands that are finding some sort of solace in Erica Kirk because misery loves company. But I just read a focus group readout and they interviewed a lot of Gen Zers. And their favorite politician by a long shot was Zoran Mamdani. And so this movement, I think we're seeing it. It's going to start flatlining out. Erica Kirk is a layup to ridicule because the content creates itself because she's running around like a damn nut, dressed up like an assassin, firework funerals.

5:53Angie Sullivan:You know, it's just the weirdest shit I've genuinely ever seen. I grew up in the Bible Belt. I know these Erica Kirk style women, but she's like, like the caricature of the worst ones that I knew. I mean, I have thought a lot about this since Charlie Kirk's death in September. You have a very attractive female whose husband was murdered in broad daylight. And she is his widow with two young children. And she has, in that short period of time between September and now, become objectively the craziest, most unsympathetic widow we have ever seen. Like, to me, that says a lot about her mental status.

6:39Angie Sullivan:Like, nobody has much sympathy for her other than the diehard, you know, nut balls, because she is so unhinged and it is so obvious. But just one point I have to make about turning point. I refuse. I just logic does not allow me. This Charlie Kirk's organization was like women should go to college to find a wife, get your MRS degree, promoting trad wives, despite the fact that Erica Kirk is working full time. So I just find it hard to believe that he contemplated that she would be the leader when his idea of a woman was a homemaker and a missus, not an independent person. It's hard to believe because when you're 30, you don't think about your death.

7:26Angie Sullivan:You don't have a succession plan. When I was 30, I didn't think about, oh my gosh, if I die, I want this person to take over my interior design firm. These are things you think about much later. It's Erica Kirk desperately wants to be a celebrity, to be the master of this movement. And here's the thing with MAGA, you have a bunch of people that are following a mentally ill person, Donald Trump. Now mental illness, dementia, all sorts of shit. The same thing is true for Erica Kirk. And I think when you look at cults, you oftentimes the cult leader has a personality disorder or some form of mental illness, sociopathy, like really, really on the spectrum of a very deranged person.

8:11Angie Sullivan:And Erica Kirk is absolutely no different from this. She goes around championing white supremacy. I mean, just that's what she does. And she uses religion and weaponizes it against these women who have been told by their parents and by their churches that they are like second or third in line. It's like, God, then your husband, then your Bible study group. Yeah, then you can take care of yourself. I mean, just really dated, antiquated, misogynistic shit. And yes, growing up in the Bible Belt, I know plenty of women who will just pull up to that ideology. But it is something that must be defeated.

8:55Angie Sullivan:It must be defeated culturally because this is a final push that they're trying to rein women back in to the patriarchy. And it's simply not going to happen. It's like it's kind of like the MAGA movement trying to get rid of multiculturalism. Good luck. It's here. That's what America is. But I want to remind you of just what a faceplant turning point is, because you can look no further to what J.D. Vance rolled up and even Erica Kirk no-showed. And you all remember this video, which anytime I have a chance, pop this up, anytime I have a chance to humiliate J.D. Vance, I always want to do that.

9:35Angie Sullivan:And so also, even those who are involved in the turning point organization don't seem to really care about voting. Let's pop this up. no attendee I spoke with seemed interested in the midterms. When I asked a 35-year-old from Virginia named Whitney whether she was paying attention to any races in her state, she laughed and said, not even a little bit. And so these Christian organizations, my issue with them is, are an offshoot of the 1980s megachurch boom. And they have radicalized a sect of people and the majority of them, I believe are engaged in religious psychosis. What you're seeing Erica Kirk do is religious psychosis.

10:19Angie Sullivan:All of the women that pull up next to her and act like they're so Christ-like or whatever the phrasing is for that religious psychosis. It's abundantly obvious to the majority of people that these people are batshit crazy, that Erica Kirk is off her fucking rocker. You can watch her for two seconds with a with her eyes and how crazy she, you know, it's nuts. And so they, of course, they have to fake the support. Of course, it's all ballooned and faked because the majority of people are able to critically think. It is these very emotionally and spiritually abused evangelical Christians that are primed to fall prey to a turning point and the indoctrination of turning point that fall prey to all of this stuff.

11:10Angie Sullivan:And the Democrats have to get really dirty. They've got to get in there and call out the hypocrisy and the cult-like nature and the death cult nature of the turning point situation, megachurches at large, because this is the most co-opted group in America. Well, didn't they vote with Trump like over 80 % or maybe even 90 %? And I think you're right. They're not critically thinking, and they just want to live in the reality that they create for themselves, much like Donald Trump does. All right. That's all we have like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
