Transcript of GOP Event INSTANTLY BLOWS UP as SPEAKERS Attack EACH OTHER
The MeidasTouch PodcastThe Republican leaders are in complete disarray. This Republican event over the weekend, the Turning Point USA event in Phoenix, following the passing of Charlie Kirk, this was a complete disaster. You had MAGA Republicans who were out there screaming at one another, saying that the Republican Party is actually dead. This influencer was attacking that influencer. You had Nicki Minaj as a surprise guest, and she referred to J. D. Vance as an assassin and said that, Oh, we've got an assassin, J. D. Vance, here. Then everybody was like, You're at a Charlie Kirk event, and you're calling J. D. Vance an assassin. Then you had Erica Kirk. I had this Freudian slip where she referred to somebody as, Oh, your grift is just as big as Charlie's grift. I mean, gift. I mean, grit. It got even worse from there. You had J. D. Vance give a and he's like, We no longer apologize for being white. It's white people. Really? I mean, what in the world? Can I just show you what went down here? Here you had at the very beginning, you had Erica Kirk talk about this Freudian slip where she's like, Yep, and just like Charlie, you've got all of this grift.
Here, play this clip. Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift. Excuse me. Gift. Grit. It has been a long day. Trust me, you're not a grifter, honey. It's all good. Then the special guest from Sunday was Nicki Minaj, who referred to JD Vans as an assassin while speaking to Erica Kirk. Here, play this clip. You have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vans, our vice president. When I say that… Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard, so you're fine. Yes, we did. I love you. You have to laugh about it truly. I have been called every single thing. You know what? God is so good. You let it roll right off your back. This is what's so beautiful about this moment, because if the internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love this woman. She's an amazing woman. She has a soul and a heart for the Lord. Then Nicki Minaj continues by threatening the life of California Governor Gavin Newsom. She's at an event with Charlie Kirk her widow, and she's there, and they're all applauding.
Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, does nothing here. She doesn't call it out. This sounds like threatening the life of California Governor Gavin Newsom. I'll let you listen to it for yourself here. Play this clip. Mr. Newsom. Dear New Scum, we don't have a problem cleaning up the scum if we have Please, tread lightly. That's what I would say to Gavi Pooh. Then you have JD Vans saying that, Because of us, we don't have to apologize for being white anymore. I just wonder what his wife, Usha, and Usha's family, thinks about all of this. By the way, Vivek Ramaswami was speaking at this event, too, and he was trying to be like, We're an inclusive party now. Then you've got JD Vans basically up there doing this white supremacist stuff. Here's what JD Vans says. Play this clip. In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore. Then you have Don Jr. Spending his time on this speech, just attacking the Republican Party. He says, The Republican Party is dead. Dead. The Republican Party doesn't exist anymore. We're now the MAGA Party. Here, play this clip. The rhinos. You see the manufactured attacks on JD, myself, my father, anyone who understands that this isn't the Republican Party anymore.
It's the America First Party. It's the Make America Great Again Party, and we are not going back. And then more from Don Jr. Over here saying that diversity is not our strength. And again, he's like, The real enemies right now also are the Republicans, the GOP. They're the ones who have turned Minnesota into little Somalia. Everything is racist and hateful from these people. All these people do is just seethe with hate. Here, play this clip. It falls on so many of the weak Republicans who just capitulated to the DC swamp, and we're going to put an end to that, too. Some of the louded voices, even in the Republican Party, demanded, We bring in Tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan refugees. For years, they turned Minnesota into little Somalia. How's that working out for anyone? Then you have Maggie Mike Johnson. His speech was like, If we don't win, if we don't win in these midterms, Trump's going to get impeached. This is what Maggie and Mike had to say. Play this clip. Everything, as has been said here. Everything is on the line in the midterms of 2026, and we have much more to do.
But if we lose the House majority, the radical left, as you've already heard, is going to impeach President Trump. They're going to create absolute chaos. We cannot let that happen. And then you had this weird idolizing of Charlie Kirk, like Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna said, We got to really focus on when we get back to Congress, when we get back into town, we're going to build a statue of Charlie Kirk in the US Capitol. Can we just get health care? Can you just make things more affordable? Can you give people affordable health care and not rip away their Affordable Care Act subsidies? Can you make housing more affordable? Can you make sure that people can get paid with dignity and afford homes and afford and their rent? Charlie Kirk statues. Here, play this clip. More importantly, I want to record this and send it to him, so I need you guys to get a little vocal. Do you think the speaker of the house should put a statue of Charlie Kirk at the US Capitol? Because we've been having issues getting it done. Then Magga Mike runs within, and Mike's like, And we're going to do the Charlie Kirk statue at the Capitol.
We're no longer in a battle, no longer in a contrast, just between Republicans and Democrats. We're in a contrast between two completely different diametrically opposed worldviews. Charlie stood for that. I knew him a long time. And yes, Andy Biggs, we're going to work on that statue in the Capitol, okay? Charlie Kirk statue. Look, as I've said before, we've condemned political violence. What happened to Charlie Kirk was absolutely horrific. The shooter, by the way, as you know, who's on trial, comes from a Republican MAGA family. It wasn't like a leftist liberal person at all. It was like these people come from MAGA families. They're Gun Toten, God fear. They're like gun people who talk about their love of Muslims with guns, whatever it was over there. It was like a religious family. This is not at all what mormonism teaches. I want to be very clear about it. It's the religious family, whatever. This is how they attack leftist liberals. It's ridiculous. By the way, they then have a tent area at this event that recreates where Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Here, play this clip. You can see from behind me, this is a recreation of the tent where Charlie Kirk lost his life at Utah University in September, and people are taking selfies with it.
You can see- My old wallet used to be this giant, crusty leather brick that was falling apart. My back even began to hurt because I was sitting so uneven.

After the purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them. Please support our show and let them know Midas Touch sent you. Then you had different people attacking each other. So you had Steve Bannon saying that Ben Shapiro is a cancer. Play this clip. Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads. It's a cancer and it metastases. He tried to take over Breitbar, and I ran him out of there. He tried to take over David Horowitz, who was his mentor. Don't ask me. Ask the guys associated with David Horowitz, what he did there. He tried to take that over. And Mark my word, he will make a move on turning point because he's always been envious of Charlie Kirk. You had Ben Shapiro attacking Candice Owens and Steve Banon and Tucker Carlson and saying that they spread conspiracies and that they're charlatans and that the MAGA movement shouldn't trust them. Play this clip. The conservative movement is also in danger. From charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle, but actually traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty, who offer nothing but bile and despair, who seek to undermine fundamental principles of conservatism by championing enervation and grievance.
These people are frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve your time. They are something worse than that, a danger to the only movement capable of stopping the left from wrecking the country wholesale. Then you have Candice Owens responding right after Ben Shapiro's speech, and she says, Truly, Ben Shapiro... I don't even want to read what she says. I'll let you listen to what she says. Play this clip. I'm here to let you know that I'm done with it. I am done with it. This one is so fully off of the mother effing plantation. Truly, Ben Shapiro, Fuck You, and the Midget Horse that you rode in on. Then Ben Shapiro says that anybody who's out there and denies what the regime is saying about the Epstein files, if you're denying what Cash... If you believe that Cash Patel is lying and Dan Bajino was lying and Trump and Pam Bondi and Todd Blanch, then there's something wrong with you. What are you saying, Shapiro? Here, play this clip. They are seeding this trust in the world around you, and they are énervating you in the process. For example, if many speakers, including Tucker Carlson and others, get on stage here at TPUSA, away and claim, without proper evidence, that Jeffrey Epstein was running a Mossad rape ring being covered up by the Trump administration, they are not actually uncovering a conspiracy or effectuating a solution.
They are claiming a special provenance to information they won't let you see, which builds their power and leaves you with none. They are also implicating in their speculation, actual human beings, good human beings like Cash Patel and Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi, and yes, the President of the United States, even if they're too cowardly to say President Trump's name. That means you won't trust those good people in the future. You haven't gotten smarter. You've just been manipulated. When forced to demonstrate their evidence, these same people will often refuse to provide it. They'll claim ignorance. They'll pretend they're outside the system, and they don't have access to actual information. They're just asking questions. But many of these same people have direct pipelines to informational sources. For example, if Tucker wants answers to his questions about, say, Jeffrey Epstein, he could call the President of the United States. He's quite close with him, but he won't because that might undermine the empty speculation. More from JD Vance, where JD Vance says that the only thing that our nation is truly anchored in is being a Christian nation That's the only thing our nation is anchored in, JD Vance.
First off, who are you, JD Vance? You've had three different names. Jd Vance is your third identity. You grew up and said you were gay, and then you said that actually you got conversion therapy or you're not gay anymore or that you thought you were gay and it was mistaken. Then you said that you were this guy from Appalachia, and you were representing just the hard workers of Appalachia, and you were an anti-Trumper and you hated Trump. You said, Trump's like Hitler. You compared him to that. Then you're a pro-Trumper. Then you've changed your name and identity along the way. You said you were gay, now you're anti-gay. You said you were for diversity, now you hate diversity. Just such a phony. Here, play this clip. More than any time, I can recount people are talking about American identity and figuring out what it is that unites us. But I want to say something here. The only thing that is truly served as an anchor of the United States of America is that we have been, and by the grace of God, we always will be a Christian nation. Then J. D. Vance refers to Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett as her street...
Having a street girl persona, just like obvious heinous racism. Street girl persona? What the hell are you talking about? These are such vile people here to play this clip. And Jasmine Crockett. Oh, Jasmine Crockett. The record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails. But ask me, then JD Vance's rally call to the audience was, do we all want faster deportations? Anyway, here, play this clip. Do you want faster deportations? Yeah. So go to ice. Gov/join because we're We're building an army of patriots, and we need good people who care about the country to help us secure the border and do it even faster. More from Nicki Minaj here. Nicki Minaj is like, One of the important things that we should realize as black women is, why are we making white women with blonde hair and blue eyes feel bad? Why should we make the blonde blue eyes ladies feel bad? If we love ourselves? What are you even talking? I don't even understand, what do you mean? Who's making blonde hair, blue eyes people feel bad? What are you talking about?
Play this clip. Why would we now need to make other people downplay their beauty so that we can feel... No, that's not how it works. I don't need someone with blonde hair and blue eyes to downplay their beauty because I know my beauty. Do you understand again. Then Donald Trump couldn't be bothered to even be at this event. So Don Jr had him on speakerphone, and this is what an adult Donald Trump sounded like. Play this clip. I want to be with you, but I'll be with you soon. I just want to say that nobody did more for me than Charlie, and there's nobody better than Erica, and you are the greatest people on Earth. We won in a landslide, and we're going to continue to do it. I just want to everybody you got out there, and they voted, and they pressed doorbells. I just want to thank you all, and I hope my son's doing a good job representing me. Otherwise, I'll have to say, You're fired, dad. You're fired. Then Nicki Minaj finished her, whatever you even want to call this, by saying, My message to young men is, Don't be a new scum.
Don't be a new scum. Be like the dashing she professed her love for Donald Trump. Here, play this clip. People with heart and soul, and they make me proud of them. Our vice president, he makes me... Well, I love both of them, but They're both powerful men, smart, strong, all of that. I want to mention as well that at this turning point event, you had the Department of Homeland Security. They were advertising a job recruitment there. You have all of that radicalization that you saw. Then as they get the people to get all fired up and say, This is a white nation, and all these things, then the Department of Homeland Security is there, and they go, DHS is at turning point USA's AMFEST. We're looking for American patriots willing to defend the homeland and honor the vision of America Charlie Kirk fought for. Swing by our tables to learn more, then as Seth Gottler Nothing to see here. Just a right wing hypernationalist government going to their party's youth event sponsored by a group with a martyrd leader they've pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their mass police force devoted to removing Ostlanders from the homeland.
