Podcasting LIVE from Tampa, Florida, Charlie is on-site at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit, where thousands of conservative students and patriots of all ages, from all 50 states, have gathered to hear from some of the biggest speakers in the movement, including Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Josh Hawley, and President Donald J. Trump. But before the event kicked off, Charlie was joined first by Producer Andrew to get the rundown on a shocking story out of New York where a would-be assassin rushed the stage and nearly took out New York Congressman and GOP Candidate for New York Governor Lee Zeldin. Next, Charlie welcomes Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert to the show to discuss her new book, "My American Life," and the importance of not subscribing to the liberal victim mentality. They also dive into Republicans who have recently turned their backs on voters, RINOS to keep your eye out for in the upcoming elections, and the farmland crisis being experienced by millions of Americans, happening at the hands of Bill Gates and the Chinese Communist Party. All before she takes the stage this weekend to address the crowd at SAS 2022. It's an action-packed Friday Episode, tune in to the whole thing for an exciting interview with one of America's most fiery members of Congress.
