Guy Benson Show

Riley Gaines, host of the Gaines for Girls Podcast on OutKick, best-selling author, and TPUSA contributor, joined The Guy Benson Show today to reflect on her friendship with Charlie Kirk. She shared how their connection began after her competition against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, when Kirk and TPUSA were among the first to offer her support. Gaines spoke about the mentorship she found in Kirk, why he was always someone she could turn to for advice, and the way he carried himself as a Christian who treated everyone with respect. Gaines also discussed the broader impact of TPUSA and argued that Charlie's work uniquely inspired young people, even saying, "I do not think Donald Trump would be president without Charlie Kirk."
