Charlie’s 2025 CLS Speech

Sen. Lindsey Graham leaves a major void in the Senate for the Republican Party. The critical question is — who will fill it, and what will their priorities be? Blake lays out how Graham’s death represents a generational change for the Republican Party, and Mark Halperin explains the political fallout. John Doyle talks about how to engage with the so-called “conspiracy right.” Two CLS attendees talk about their experience, and the show reveals a brand-new Turning Point event for young men.

The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson is over, and the work of TPUSA continues. The show has the highlights from a superb Chapter Leadership Summit in D.C., including a speech from Erika and important insights about what young conservatives care most about. Graham Allen discusses the sudden death of Lindsey Graham and how it shakes up the Senate. Auron MacIntyre describes the philosophy of Russia’s Alexander Dugin, who is winning acolytes in the West. Joshua Carr talks about the experience of being inside the courtroom at the Tyler Robinson hearing last week.

After an exhausting week of testimony and objections, the case of Utah vs. Tyler Robinson has adjourned until September. Jack Posobiec was in the courtroom when the state played what reporters are calling “the most damning evidence in the state’s arsenal.” He describes what he saw. Justin Nazaroff of Fenix Ammunitionr explains key finds about the ballistic evidence and why there wasn’t an exit wound. Steve Deace discusses the right attitude to take toward leaders and influencers who have disgraced themselves promoting elaborate conspiracies.

Day 4 was by far the most eventful day of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing.

Plus, Allen and Andrea Burkhart react to an appalling and out-of-nowhere attack by the defense team on Erika Kirk.
