Speaking on his stream on November 19, Tim Pool revealed that he has been uninvited to Turning Point USA's 2025 AmericaFest. TPUSA is a youth-led organization founded by deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Pool said:

"I wonder if I represent an anti-interventionist faction. Tucker Carlson does too, as does Candace Owens, and I wonder if that's the real reason I've not said anything particularly disparaging about am fest, but they [Turning Point USA] told me I couldn't come, why?"

Tim Pool added that the organization is still giving podcasters like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens the option to speak, because it is difficult to uninvite him.

"Tucker Carlson is expected to speak there. Maybe it's just it would be too difficult to cancel him. Candace Owens certainly would not be speaking there. But I do wonder if one of the main reasons is that there is an effort to consolidate around a pro-interventionist liberal economic order faction," he added.

AmericaFest 2025 is set to be held from December 18 to 21, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona. It is also the place where Turning Point USA's headquarters are located. According to TPUSA's website, the fest will be a "one-of-a-kind, four-day event" featuring "dozens of the nation’s top leaders". It is designed to develop leadership skills among young people all over America.

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September, the organization has focused on spreading the activist's message and legacy. Kirk's wife, Erica Kirk, has taken over as the CEO of Turning Point USA.

In his aforementioned stream, Tim Pool also discussed reasons behind his supposed uninvitation from TPUSA's AmericaFest 2025. Pool alleged that it was due to some of his political views, saying:

"Maybe it's because I said we should stop funding Israel. Maybe it's because I said we shouldn't be giving money to Ukraine. Maybe it's because young people largely don't want foreign intervention, and there are individuals in politics who disagree. So I will say this, I've been given the official reason I had made hurtful comments, maybe I had been told they're full hard to do."

Tim Pool added that his use is "no more" as Turning Point USA would not want "a disaffected liberal who's anti war and anti-intervention." He continued:

"The movement needs those who are going to champion foreign investment and foreign intervention. I'm not saying that's definitively why it happened, nor am I trying to cast aspersions or impugn the honor of anybody, but I think one of the principal rifts right now is that young people do not care about our involvement in these foreign countries, they want to know how they're going to buy a house and have a family."

Apart from the AmericaFest, Turning Point USA is also known to host other youth-focused events, including the Student Action Summit, the Young Women's Leadership Summit, and the Young Black Leadership Summit.


Ahead of their founder Charlie Kirk's assassination, the conservative activist was delivering a talk at Utah Valley University. The talk was one of the many in the American Comeback Tour, which he could not conclude after being shot dead at the university. It was eventually concluded at the University of California, Berkeley, earlier this month.
