BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales catches woke radicals spewing nonsense outside AmFest
With America Fest coming to a close just days before Christmas, woke protesters showed no signs of taking a hiatus to celebrate the holiday. BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales went into the fray outside AmFest and came back with some footage of the nonsense the protesters were spewing.
While Gonzales interviewed multiple leftists outside the AmFest venue, one woman stole the show.
‘It’s just signs with really mean words on them and brain-dead individuals holding them, not able to back it up.’
The woman mocked Jesus Christ, shouted about explicit sexual acts with children around, and mocked Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
At one point, Gonzales and the protester wearing the “Deport Melania” hat began arguing about whether there were children present, given that the protester was shouting and blasting explicit music.
“Oh, I’m so upset. There’s all these kids. You guys, there’s no kids. There’s no children here — unless you’re talking about the one I haven’t aborted yet! Am I right? Am I right?” she laughed.
The protester demanded that the cameraman pan around, and at least one kid was in the vicinity.

Concerned by this performance, Gonzales asked the woman several times if she was on drugs.
Gonzales also interviewed a man wearing a mask, sunglasses, bucket hat, and gloves who was carrying an American flag and a megaphone.
However, he refused to speak with Gonzales directly. Rather, to her disgust, he appears to have said, “I really love how Charlie Kirk hasn’t said anything racist in 90 days.”
“Are you happy with Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Cracking jokes? What is a racist thing that Charlie Kirk has said?”
He didn’t have an answer.
“Nothing,” Gonzales said. “Not a thing. These people have nothing. They stand here with their big signs and their big megaphones and they shout these tropes, and then when I ask them to explain themselves, they never can.”
Gonzales also got footage of a man in a giraffe costume singing a rendition of “YMCA” that changed the lyrics to say “f**k ICE,” among other mostly inaudible phrases.
The giraffe suit-wearing man was surrounded by other protesters, some carrying signs that said, for example, “Turning Point + Biggs = White Supremacy,” and “No Christo-Fascist Bulls**t Here.”
“Biggs” appears to refer to Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a featured AmFest speaker.
Gonzales tried one more time to talk to another person with a megaphone and a sign that said, “Stop the Nazi S**t.” Once again, the protester couldn’t, or wouldn’t, provide an explanation. Instead, she just played what sounded like a police siren to drown out the interviewer.
Over the sound of the siren, Gonzales said, “It’s so crazy. They come here with these signs, and they have nothing to back it up. They don’t know what they mean. They can’t explain them. They can’t define them. It’s just signs with really mean words on them and brain-dead individuals holding them, not able to back it up.”

Unhinged student who flipped Turning Point USA table gets arrested and faces 5 charges
A 19-year-old student is facing five charges after being identified as the person who flipped a Turning Point USA display table at the University of Iowa campus.
A TPUSA social media account posted video of the altercation where a smiling student walks up to the display table of hot chocolate and then overturns it before walking away. The TPUSA members then cheerfully begin to clean up the mess on the video.
‘While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.’
Authorities identified the suspect as Justin Pham Calhoon and booked him into the Johnson County Jail on Wednesday.
TPUSA reported that Calhoon was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct, fifth-degree criminal mischief, and two counts of third-degree harassment.
A university spokesperson confirmed the arrest to the College Fix.
“All Iowa students are expected to follow the Code of Student Life, which sets standards for student behavior and conduct,” Chris Brewer wrote. “While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.”
Cabot Phillips, an editor at the Daily Wire, then posted a video appearing to show the same person overturning a table before his event at the university.
“This same student literally did the exact same thing last week ahead of my event there,” he posted on social media.

That incident is from Oct. 25, according to the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety.
The student wore a dress in the second video, leading many to believe Calhoon identified as transgender.
Calhoon has no prior criminal history aside from a traffic violation.

Vance calls out Massie for bucking the GOP ‘on every single issue,’ making ‘too many enemies’
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky fired back after Vice President JD Vance criticized the lawmaker for constantly bucking their party.
Vance spoke at the University of Mississippi Wednesday night to continue the Turning Point USA’s college campus tour following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In remembrance of Kirk, Vance opened the floor to thousands of students to ask questions.
‘You’re eventually going to make too many enemies.’
One attendee asked Vance why President Donald Trump went after Massie, raising concerns that this conflict would discourage independent thinking within the Republican Party.
“This one is hard for me,” Vance said. “And the reason it’s hard for me is because Thomas Massie and I — he’s one of the first people that ever reached out to me about my book or about political office. I’ve known Thomas Massie well before I ever got involved in politics.”

“I think the problem with Thomas — and I’ve told him this in private, and now I guess I’ll say it again in public — is it’s one thing to disagree with the party on a particular issue,” Vance added. “It’s one thing to have your independent stand on a number of questions — and by the way, some of this stuff where Thomas Massie has been independent from the Republican Party, I’ve agreed with.”
Vance went on to argue that despite their friendship, Massie’s ideological stubbornness, no matter how principled, has cost him the president’s support.
“Being independent, having your own opinions is one thing,” Vance said. “Voting against the party on every single issue, you’re eventually going to make too many enemies. And that is the problem that Thomas has had. It’s not one issue. It’s not three or four issues. It’s that every time that we’ve needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it.”
“Politics is politics,” Vance added. “And when you always vote against the party, you can’t expect the party to actually back it.”

Massie argued that if the party demands total compliance on every vote and leaves no room for debate, it risks alienating many voters who may not check every policy box on the party platform. Massie also did not shy away from calling out the party’s policies he objected to, saying he “won’t be their yes man.”
“The lady at TPUSA last night addressed an issue many young Republicans have with our party today,” Massie said of the attendee who approached Vance. “90% of my votes align with the Republican platform, yet there seems to be no room for dissent or debate. Our tent shrinks if party leaders demand 100% compliance.”
“When leaders of my own party protect sex traffickers, spend our grandkids into oblivion, fund endless wars, lockdown our citizens, bailout corporations, bow to other countries, and hurt small farmers … it’s true that I won’t be their yes man,” Massie said in a post on X.
