Inside TPUSA Frontlines: Portland Chaos, Antifa, and How Charlie’s Team Chooses Stories

In this segment of The Charlie Kirk Show, the team pulls back the curtain on TPUSA Frontlines—the guerrilla journalism operation Charlie helped build, now continuing his mission in his honor.

The segment opens with a wild clip from Portland: Frontlines reporter Sav (Savannah Hernandez) sprinting alongside National Guard and law enforcement outside an ICE facility as protests erupt. You hear her breathing, see the chaos, and watch TPUSA reporters push into danger to capture what legacy media refuses to show.

From there, Turning Point talks about:

Why that Portland clip perfectly captures the heart of Frontlines

How reporters like Sav, Nick, and Kalen routinely face assaults, flash-bangs, and intimidation just to bring the truth to viewers

The courage it takes to be “in the arena” when the left wants cameras turned off

The show then spotlights a sponsor, Hillsdale College, and their free online course on totalitarian novels, hosted by Dr. Larry Arnn and featuring:

1984

Brave New World

Darkness at Noon

That Hideous Strength

These classic works show what happens when tyrannical regimes crush human nature—and why faith, family, and freedom are still worth fighting for.

Finally, the conversation returns to Frontlines manager Brandon Drey, who explains:

How TPUSA Frontlines decides where to deploy its nine reporters across the country

How they monitor protest chatter on X, Reddit, Instagram, Bluesky, and more to judge whether an event is really going to blow up

What it’s like diving into the online underbelly of the radical left and realizing “the emperor has no clothes”

Why activists keep repeating the same chants, same scripts, same talking points—and how organizers literally train protesters not to talk to “unapproved” press

The balance between getting the story and keeping reporters safe, including times they say “no” to high-risk ideas or go fully undercover with masks and hidden cameras

How YOU can send tips, videos, and leads directly to Frontlines via email, the TPUSA site, or social media

If you want to understand how Turning Point deploys a small army of independent journalists to expose riots, Antifa networks, illegal markets, and political hypocrisy—this is your insider briefing.
