JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: This was all a fundraising scam to smear Trump and make white supremacy seem like the biggest threat. The stuff SPLC was paying informants to do, commit crimes, raise money, organize hate rallies, is stuff an FBI informant would never be allowed to do because it’s illegal and would jeopardize the case. If this is all true, the SPLC isn’t just guilty of hypocrisy, they’re responsible for years of damage to the social fabric of this country and someone should be held accountable.
Andrew Kolvet, a TPUSA spokesperson and executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show. It’s very funny that the Biden team hooked up with this group, ran on Charlottesville, and then de-platformed everybody on their list. That’s something that needs to be investigated.
ANDREW KOLVET, TURNING POINT USA: Yeah, and thanks for having me, Jesse. You know, this is something that’s deeply personal to me, and it’s by the way, it’s deeply personal to pro-life groups as well, that the Biden DOJ was working with pro-abortion groups to weaponize the FACE Act. It’s the same playbook all over again, but with the SPLC in this instance, and you know, they cornered the market on monetizing hate, but guess what?
There is a supply and demand issue when it comes to hate. So they had to gin up more, they had to manufacture more hate, and when they run out of actual racist and KKK and Aryan Nation groups, guess what? They turn to Turning Point USA.
And Jesse, I hope your audience realizes this and really internalizes this. They put Turning Point USA on the hate map at the SPLC, the quote-unquote hate map, in May of 2025. Less than four months later, Charlie would be killed by an assassin who said, quote, Some hate can’t be negotiated out.
They put a hit on Charlie. They put us on a target list, and I will never forget, Jesse, that when this happened, I remember talking with Charlie, and he said, you know, in typical Charlie fashion, he wasn’t worried about himself. He was worried about our students.
This wasn’t just about Charlie, although this obviously tragically impacted all of us and Charlie directly, but he was worried about our students all over across the country, and honestly, this is blood money. You mentioned that their donations skyrocketed, almost tripled in one year after Charlottesville, which they helped fund. This is blood money, Jesse, and if MGM and JP Morgan and Tim Apple and the Clooneys have any self-respect, they would demand their money back.
