Carlos Reyes: Charlie Kirk Was a Movement And That’s Why They Wanted Him Gone | DSH #1797

From AmFest, Sean sits down with returning guest Carlos Reyes for one of the most emotional and controversial conversations from the floor. Carlos opens up about his journey from being brought into the U.S. illegally to earning citizenship after 16 years, why he supported Trump early, and why he now says he’s disappointed with the administration and the state of the movement. The heart of this episode is Charlie Kirk: Carlos argues Charlie wasn’t just a loud voice — he was a leader and a movement, and that’s exactly what made him a threat. He also shares the viral story of why he walked out of his church when they refused to honor Charlie — a moment that exploded online with millions of views. They also touch on broken promises, transparency, big donors, internal infighting, and Carlos’ view on a path to legalization for long-term immigrants who’ve paid taxes and stayed out of trouble. 🎯 What you’ll learn 🇺🇸 Carlos’ 16-year path from illegal immigrant to U.S. citizen 📉 Why he says Trump’s admin failed to deliver on key promises 🕊️ Why Carlos believes Charlie Kirk was “a movement”, not just a commentator 🧩 The “transparency gap” — and what Carlos says doesn’t add up 💰 How big donors shape politics (and why he says “expectations” follow money) ⛪ The viral church walkout story — and the principle behind it 🧱 Carlos’ case for a path to legalization (with conditions) 👷 Why he believes Mexican workers helped build America — legally and illegally Chapters (with timestamps) 0:00 – “Charlie Kirk wasn’t a voice — he was a movement” 0:25 – Intro: Sean with Carlos Reyes at AmericaFest (Phoenix) 0:52 – Carlos: “Disappointed, dissatisfied, disgusted” with the administration 1:00 – His story: illegal immigrant → 16 years → citizenship (2012) 2:18 – “We won in 2024… but promises weren’t kept” 3:03 – Families can’t save; first-time homebuyer age rising 3:50 – Epstein victims + “transparency” frustrations 4:10 – Charlie Kirk assassination doubts + “where’s the autopsy?” 6:10 – Big donors & compromise: “When you donate hundreds of millions…” 20:20 – Viral church walkout + Mexican work ethic + path to legalization 🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT 👉 Interested in being a guest?
