this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:22.800
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:29.760
authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just
00:00:35.600
like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:40.320
misrepresentations that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you
00:00:44.320
this is the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground
00:00:51.360
here's your host stephen k bannon so the polls are really tightening between trump and biden amongst
00:00:57.680
generation z why do you guys think that is i think that people they just go to the grocery store and
00:01:02.960
they see the prices on the shelves i mean i went to the grocery store walked out with two bags of
00:01:06.560
groceries it was eighty dollars so people are just seeing that their pay isn't isn't keeping up to
00:01:12.400
inflation so i think that they're getting pretty fed up with with the biden administration war room is on
00:01:17.120

00:01:46.480
to america fest today uh it's the biggest conservative conference in the movement it's a lot of fun to be here
00:01:52.480
highly recommend it and i mean this is where a lot of hope is because if you're on a college campus
00:01:58.880
and it's very liberal you walk into here and there's like 15 000 conservatives your age and
00:02:03.840
you're like there's hope for the future and it's a great feeling i highly recommend we've been to all
00:02:08.960
the america fest we're just die hard patriots we love it we love everything charlie career has to
00:02:12.800
offer we love turning point we just love the event yeah we've been to a lot of turning point events
00:02:17.680
together met a lot of cool people a lot of fun experiences so yeah we're happy to be here we just
00:02:22.240
love the environment and speakers and being with like-minded people and getting to hear about all
00:02:27.520
the amazing things that are going on in our country and how we can improve and be better and grow both
00:02:34.160
in our mindset and spiritually um well our grandpa was persecuted in the soviet union and so we
00:02:40.320
definitely know what it's like to have our beliefs and morals under attack and so it's really cool to
00:02:45.840
come here and hear what's going on in america and how we can as the next generation
00:02:52.000
step up and kind of like find a solution to that so yeah a lot of young people in generation z have
00:02:59.120
a somewhat positive view of communism or socialism what do you have to say about that do you see a
00:03:03.680
lot of that in your generation or do you think they are slowly overcoming that i do i see a lot of
00:03:09.600
it in our generation a lot of our generation doesn't really know about what is happening in our country
00:03:15.360
and in other countries around the world some people that i do know and like more people are coming
00:03:20.800
becoming aware of what's happening but overall it's really sad to see how our generation doesn't
00:03:26.000
realize like the negative effects of communism is communism and socialism and how that's being
00:03:31.840
brought into america uh yeah i mean i think that right now communism socialism is very in um
00:03:39.440
it's the easy way out i feel like our generations very much um find the easy way not very hard working
00:03:46.320
so um there are definitely people like who are here who are standing up and starting to see the
00:03:52.000
truth and see what it really is and so i think that gives us a hope for the future way of being
00:03:56.880
around with so many people with similar beliefs and know that we're not a land of kind of alone in like
00:04:01.520
the sea of blue especially since we're going to college so just the idea of that like we're not the
00:04:06.720
lone person around it'll just be like good to be around like the great conservative atmosphere and see
00:04:11.760
speakers like rob schneider brandon tatum um charlie kirk hopefully and all those great speakers
00:04:18.400
do you feel like more and more young people are starting to wake up and become more conservative
00:04:22.720
oh 100 i definitely believe gen z is way more conservative than people believe um i think it just
00:04:29.200
takes a lot of people to care because once you show that you can care about something and your actions
00:04:34.880
prove that you care about something other people will join in it takes a lot of showing instead of
00:04:40.240
just telling um on your campus i see it as more of like what my age like when we're starting to have
00:04:46.560
to pay our own bills and be able to like have to be more of an adult instead of just being caretake
00:04:51.120
for our parents we learned that we can't just say i want i want i want we actually have to stand up
00:04:56.800
for ourselves and take care of ourselves and we're not going to be able to do that under biden's
00:05:00.320
administration well i hope so that's the that's the goal of this organization i hope that's the goal is
00:05:05.040
is to hope that i want to wake up the young people before they vote and then they when they vote
00:05:09.440
they invite the vote the correct way and wake them up all the social issues we're having in today's
00:05:13.680
world so the polls are really tightening between trump and biden amongst generation z
00:05:18.720
why do you think that is i think because there's such a strong push and pull between uh the kids
00:05:23.920
waking up in the media there's a lot of kids that won't wake up to the media and there's a lot of kids
00:05:27.440
that do i think there's a big strong push and pull between that yeah i think he's making up a lot
00:05:32.640
of ground just because mainly the economy you know that's the biggest issue for young people despite what
00:05:38.000
all the liberals say but what brings you guys out to america fest today uh we'd like to we love our
00:05:42.640
country right so we want to gather with like-minded people and hopefully we can discuss solutions to
00:05:48.240
our problems and we'd like to see trump win in 2024 why are you supporting trump in 2024 he was the
00:05:55.360
greatest president we've ever had and he will do great things for our country yes how about you same
00:06:01.360
thing he's the best president we have ever had i didn't really think he would be until i didn't vote for
00:06:06.000
him in 2016 but after i've seen what he did i voted for him in 2020 and it was a real shame how it was
00:06:12.000
stolen from him so we're hoping that we can fix that what changed your mind about him in 2020 just
00:06:18.320
the way he handled everything i think that the way he went after the establishment would be the second
00:06:23.440
biggest thing to try to bring down this bureaucracy in government this corruption in government that we
00:06:28.480
have the way he dealt with our foreign uh policy i mean it was amazing the way he dealt he was he was
00:06:34.960
bringing peace i'm i'm anti-war i don't i don't think that we should be at war with anybody we need
00:06:39.520
to take care of the problems in this country and he was he was i mean he was everything that i could
00:06:44.240
ask for so he needs four more years let's get him out there four more years so he can straighten this
00:06:49.120
country out for us what brings you guys out today uh just trying to get to a place where people are free
00:06:54.320
and people can agree with the like-minded things warm weather awesome people amazing environment and just an
00:07:02.720
electrifying area to be with a lot of young conservatives i love america and it's like
00:07:09.040
super fun to be around other people that have the same values and yeah talk to me about generation z
00:07:15.680
do you think there's a conservative awakening going on right now um i definitely think so um within the
00:07:21.360
past few years um with joe biden in office it hasn't gone great and i think the young people are starting
00:07:26.320
to wake up what is the biggest issue for you right now um the open borders and the economy
00:07:32.800
and now tell me about your hat why are you supporting president trump in 2024
00:07:36.960
i think um it's a proven concept um and i think he's going to win in 2024. i'm laura becker i'm from
00:07:42.480
milwaukee wisconsin i'm a detransitioner who's going to be in the upcoming film for turning point
00:07:46.960
identity crisis so i'm speaking this tuesday uh on a panel about detransition awareness so when i was 19
00:07:53.600
i was prescribed uh testosterone at 20 i had a double mastectomy to have my breasts removed and
00:07:59.280
at 22 i was diagnosed with ptsd and i realized that the transition was all due to trauma and then
00:08:05.440
i detransitioned and for the last couple years i've been healing myself and then speaking out trying to
00:08:10.960
just you know bring the lid off of this you know insanity do you think there's an agenda being actively
00:08:17.280
pushed on young people to transition i mean there's lots of agendas i mean there's like the
00:08:21.680
pharmaceutical agenda there's the post-modernist agenda from the academics trickling down into
00:08:26.560
the k-12 education eradication of the family unit uh it's an existential crisis that young people are
00:08:32.640
going through in gen z like myself i'm now almost 27 but when i was a bit younger you know i was the
00:08:37.520
ripe age for the vulnerability to to find a sense of meaning you know in the absence of like organized
00:08:42.960
community interpersonal real life relationships religious communities etc what brings you out to america
00:08:49.120
fest today mostly being proud to be an american but honestly it's because i wanted to see the
00:08:53.680
fruits of all the labor we've been doing through turning point usa i'm a chapter leader for fresno
00:08:56.800
city how do other young people get involved with turning point well the easiest way if people aren't
00:09:02.240
coming out to your school yet go online the website you can have an interest list fill out your
00:09:06.800

00:09:38.080
people can get involved and engaged in political activism starting a turning point chapter that's what i
00:09:42.400
did right now i'm actually going to college i started my own turning point chapter at my college

so just starting a chapter trying to get involved with turning point first off it is a main organization
00:09:50.320

00:09:54.240
for young people welcome to hour two of the war room tonight is ladies night i'm joined by my lovely
00:10:03.440
co-host marine bannon and grace chong and we are freshly off of america fest 2023 it was a
00:10:11.760
fantastic event and we have a packed show for you today so i want to go right ahead
00:10:17.600
and bring in our first guest tyler boyer of turning point action
00:10:26.880
what's up ladies how are we doing hi tyler awesome thank you so much so we're covering
00:10:35.360
yeah we all are right give us your assessment on turning point how was the event this past
00:10:41.440
weekend and give us your action plan going forward oh my goodness you guys saw it it was really
00:10:50.640
inspiring to have almost 15 000 people in the house uh for what's the largest conservative event
00:10:58.160
in america now again so much thanks to war room i know just the combination the one-two punch between war
00:11:06.160
and charlie's show has just been so great uh but yeah i mean you you just guys just went through it
00:11:12.400
all the young people who are rising up this is part of the reason why we're seeing such a flip
00:11:19.280
with young people under the age of 30 supporting trump over biden and every poll that's coming out a new
00:11:26.560
one just came out yesterday uh it's pretty exciting so yeah we feel like we have a lot of work still yet to
00:11:32.160
be done uh turning point action is kind of leading at the forefront here of uh with america fest really just
00:11:38.320
being the kickoff for that for this next year and uh really excited about what's to come and and and of
00:11:53.200
i don't know if we get into what's coming up here in vegas and then what we're doing this summer in
00:11:58.160
we're in detroit but happy to talk about that yeah so tyler i know not only are you turning
00:12:03.600
point action coo but you're also an rnc national committeeman and we know that you know rana romney
00:12:10.640
mcdaniel is doing something in vegas shortly in the next couple of weeks so if you want to elaborate
00:12:16.960
on what turning point is planning on doing to counter that and like you said also you started turning
00:12:22.800
point action for the first time this past summer had a conference act con and i know we briefly
00:12:30.960
discussed this uh this weekend about how successful that was last summer and the way turning point
00:12:36.800
action wants to move forward with that so yeah if you could briefly talk on both of those events
00:12:41.840
coming up for turning point action yeah so a lot of people have been really focused on the rnc and i
00:12:48.160
appreciate you bringing that up because uh another report just came out yesterday that the rnc has
00:12:54.000
less money than it's ever had in the bank account at least for a number of years and so we uh as as
00:13:00.480
a member of the rnc which means i represent my state to the rnc it's like being a delegate from
00:13:06.480
the state to the rnc and arizona being the most important state for many reasons this next election
00:13:12.160
cycle i'm deeply concerned and but i'm also not not super surprised because if you've been
00:13:19.360
excuse me if you've been to rnc meetings um as i've attended for the last you know going on almost
00:13:25.840
four years not a whole lot gets done there so we we have been in the midst of of watching this sharp
00:13:33.760
decline as the rnc has no longer been able to just fundraise off the back of donald trump and you know
00:13:40.800
lots of people have been asking questions well what's next what do we do how are we what what's
00:13:45.440
going to happen are are there focuses are there priorities that we have and none of that's being
00:13:50.560
discussed and and more more uh concerning is that you know as we sit in those meetings there's all
00:13:57.920
these outside groups uh on our side who are doing so much for the movement and yet we're not hearing
00:14:06.000
any of those voices and those voices aren't making their way through so uh coming up this next month
00:14:11.520
uh the rnc is hosting their their annual winter meeting this this year it's going to be in las vegas
00:14:18.240
uh that's going to occur on the 31st first and set 31st of january 1st and 2nd of february so what
00:14:25.920
we're doing at turning point action is we're inviting in all of the grassroots leaders from across the
00:14:31.360
country uh whether leaders from organizations that are doing things that are big and that includes
00:14:37.920
war room that includes you know mike lindell and cause of america and a number of other outside
00:14:44.880
groups that we work closely with including the tea party patriots action who are doing incredible work
00:14:50.080
in georgia and across the country on election integrity uh we're bringing all those folks in
00:14:56.160
in addition to the grassroots leaders from all these different counties
00:14:59.600
to have a face-to-face opportunity to for not only instruction but also for what's going on
00:15:07.520
where the resources that are available for all of these different county leaders
00:15:12.160
and then inviting in also the rnc members to say hey these are all the things that we should be
00:15:16.880
doing at the rnc which is strategizing listening sessions uh working together figuring out what
00:15:23.600
priorities need to exist what states we need to focus on first and so all of those things are going to be
00:15:28.800
happening uh in on january 29th and 30th uh right there right where the rnc is hosting their event just
00:15:37.840
three days later um and so we're really excited about it i think it's going to be fortuitous for a
00:15:43.840
number of different reasons but mostly that the grassroots can start believing in the conservative
00:15:48.720
movement again and start identifying those members of the republican party who are doing the right things
00:15:54.000
because although a lot of people are frustrated with rana or frustrated with the establishment
00:16:00.000
and and the way that they've taken the direction they've taken the party which i think has led to
00:16:05.200
our losses um is particularly in arizona and nevada and and wisconsin and georgia
00:16:11.840
we we have people that we're trying to gather together and hopefully ignite some hope and also
00:16:18.880
network so that we can win uh because unfortunately if we do not activate the grassroots muscle there's no
00:16:25.840
way that we have an opportunity to win because this is going to require uh focusing on all the different
00:16:31.680
ways the left manipulates our elections particularly in key target states and key target counties across america
00:16:39.840
and so if we don't focus on those we can't win and so that's what we're going to do so turning point usa
00:16:45.520
has obviously been key in reaching youth voters can you compare and contrast that a little bit with
00:16:51.760
the rnc youth advisory council because i know that has really come under fire especially in the past week
00:16:58.480
it's faced a lot of criticism yeah and and you know you kind of saw this um this kind of having major
00:17:07.760
problems from the very beginning so i was actually the co-chair of the grassroots committee when i
00:17:13.360
first came on to the rnc and so because of my role with the turning point and being in you know knowing
00:17:19.200
so many people in the grassroots um rana i think did the right thing and made me co-chair of that
00:17:24.560
committee we produced a report that was almost 40 pages long um we ended up shrinking it down and
00:17:30.640
presenting it to rana which highlighted all the problems that we we saw by going to the grassroots and
00:17:37.120
asking them just directly like what do you think about the rnc what what do you think the republican
00:17:41.040
party needs to be better and and she was so offended by it ultimately she ended up um ignoring me and
00:17:48.400
then removing me from that that that leadership role um and then doing almost nothing and so i had
00:17:54.960
had some very front row experience with the way that uh committees are conducted at the rnc and so when i
00:18:02.160
first heard the inklings of a youth committee you know i had actually gone up in front of all of the
00:18:08.400
168 that serve on the rnc and i said hey i heard about this rnc youth advisory committee you're thinking
00:18:13.920
about putting together i'm just super confused because you know i i've run a youth organization
00:18:18.720
with charlie for the last eight years and you you guys haven't even approached us about who to put on
00:18:23.600
the committee what the committee does you know what functions we think about the committee and in front of
00:18:29.120
everyone i mean she just outrightly lied and said oh we'll still be informed of course you know we're
00:18:33.920
going to put you you know we're going to involve you we'll ask you questions um and this is after
00:18:39.040
having spent all that time on the grassroots committee where i knew nothing happened and so
00:18:43.440
it was suspect to begin with and once they started putting people on i started realizing oh this isn't
00:18:49.520
an advisory committee this is a a marketing committee to help cover for the chair every time that
00:18:57.040
people have concerns about what's going on with the rnc and the republican party in general
00:19:02.960
and and more so what i realized is that the rnc uses these different committees simply to fundraise
00:19:09.200
with large donors and say oh so when a donor has a question about the grassroots or a donor has a
00:19:14.000
question about youth issues or whatever they can say oh no we've got an advisory committee and then they
00:19:20.160
they collect the check and they do relatively little and that's that's concerning that's that's
00:19:25.680
upsetting because you know these committees are not intended to just be fundraising tools these
00:19:32.160
committees whenever i'm not a big fan of committees to begin with i think that it's much better to uh to
00:19:38.640
just dive in with the grassroots as they're already constructed identify leaders and help put like you know
00:19:44.400
lighter fluid or gasoline on on those on those guys to make them big bonfires and and give them extra
00:19:51.680
oomph that's what we've always done at turning point and it's worked really really well uh but you know
00:19:56.080
we've been working in the trenches with the youth vote for for now years more than anyone and our
00:20:02.880
organization turning point action i mean you just saw the consequence of it we had over 8 000 people
00:20:08.880
under the age of 40 all in one place and it is so disheartening to see that not one of the republican
00:20:16.800
national uh organizations and i and i call this the the national apparatus of the republican party
00:20:23.760
the rnc the nrsc the nrcc you know mitch mcconnell's pack and all the mccarthy's pack all these guys
00:20:31.040
none of them were present that not a single one of these organizations bothered to throw up a
00:20:37.360
table or to send staff or to do anything and so that that's your answer of how interested
00:20:44.160
the national apparatus is in actually winning the youth vote is wherever the youth are wherever
00:20:49.360
the leaders are if they're not going to those people they have no interest and and this is a
00:20:54.560
this is a systemic problem that's existed within the republican party for a long time
00:20:58.960
not just with young people but with hispanics and with the black community and and with any other
00:21:05.520
community that we look at it's just a lot of just like you know who's he what's he's and pretending
00:21:13.040
like you're doing things in order to raise money but not actually getting the job done
00:21:19.520
that just proves that it's really the donor class versus um the people you know they don't show up to
00:21:26.240
these events and they don't hear any of our voices which is so critical to our movement
00:21:32.640
um but you know tyler you know oh go ahead i was just gonna say grace you know but donors are waking
00:21:40.720
up because donors are showing up to events like we just helped there was over 500 donors that were
00:21:47.200
that were massive donors that are showing up and many of them for the first time because now
00:21:52.640
you know america fest has now become even bigger than other organizations like c-pack and things like
00:21:57.440
that so it's just it's just naturally bringing people in that don't normally attend and they
00:22:02.720
and they're going oh my gosh i had no idea any of this was going on no one had ever told me that
00:22:09.200
you know the grassroots was this organized and that there's all these organizations that exist and
00:22:14.000
they're meeting all these people for the first time and and you know that's that's part of the
00:22:19.040
problem that's existed between you know kind of the old bush establishment and you know then the coke
00:22:25.680
establishment which i call them which is you know they've kind of protected donors they've intentionally
00:22:31.760
kept donors from seeing the work that the grassroots does and and that's and that's part of the reason
00:22:38.720
why i believe that you know we had so many struggles leading up into 2020 it was because you had all of
00:22:44.720
these grassroots organizations just kind of just prevented from going out and and really aiding in the ways
00:22:51.360
that we needed to in states that we needed them and even today like you can see i i mean i can tell
00:22:56.640
you here in arizona you'll see stories i mean the rnc's is not not financially well and so is it any
00:23:04.880
surprise that any of these state parties that don't have historical historic precedence you know arizona
00:23:10.480
hasn't been ohio for the last 40 years you know you can't expect that money is just going to come here
00:23:15.840
especially if you don't have you know the help of the republican national apparatus coming in and
00:23:22.560
helping you and so this is the grassroots is trying to make up for that and donors are waking up we're
00:23:29.360
short on time so i do want to ask you um give us your socials and where they can support turning
00:23:34.800

00:25:37.280
always gives us inside baseball and scoop of what's going on especially with the rnc and all the campaigns
00:25:43.840
so um welcome thank you so i want you to add on to what tyler was saying talk to me about this rnc
00:25:54.640
youth advisory council and where are they missing the mark how is it that the largest youth
00:25:59.840
conservative organization is not being included in on the rnc well i think rana is a very vindictive
00:26:08.560
person and so she has a lot of anger towards tyler boyer and i think it has to do with the fact that
00:26:12.800
tyler has been whistleblowing and yelling about problems going on in the rnc for two years now
00:26:17.840
and i don't think that she likes that and so she um they've had a bunch of issues with turning
00:26:22.640
point usa which is insane because they should be collaborating turning point is doing so much
00:26:27.280
great work they have a huge budget and they are doing a tremendous job to not only you know excite
00:26:33.440
and ignite the youth vote but actually put that work to to action and turning point is so large
00:26:38.320
they've expanded past just the youth vote what they're doing in turning point faith is also one
00:26:41.840
of the most critical things out there right now but the problem is i think rana is on such an island
00:26:45.920
right now i don't really know of her working with or reaching out to any other groups and so the question
00:26:50.560
becomes i want to keep this going after the break we have a short break we will be right back we have
00:26:56.560
some awesome guests brayden sorbo libby emmons coming up stay tuned for the second part of the war room ladies night

00:28:53.520
welcome back we are joined by our guest caroline wren caroline i would like you to pick up where
00:29:00.240
you left off talking about this rnc youth advisory council what are they really doing to reach young
00:29:08.000
voters well not much which is kind of at this point a tradition with the rnc um they always tout
00:29:15.600
the different community centers that they open but it'll be centers that they open a couple months
00:29:19.200
before the election then close right back down afterwards that's no way to actually immerse
00:29:23.200
yourself in different communities so the youth advisory council i think there's been a some
00:29:27.040
friction and a split there but a lot of it has to do with the lack of leadership right like when you
00:29:31.440
have these things happen they have no leadership over at the rnc they have nothing to look up to so
00:29:35.360
you know luckily there is turning point and then the conference at turning point is going to do
00:29:38.960
ahead of the rnc winter meeting i think is going to be very very interesting and a very smart idea
00:29:44.240
because we cannot sit around and wait for the fate of trump and other republicans to be left to the
00:29:48.800
rnc we have to begin to strategize around them and so i think that's what tyler boyer is doing by
00:29:53.520
organizing this conference that i know that uh i was on with steve a couple days ago and steve said oh the
00:29:58.720
war room is going to be there so everyone should be there it's tpaction.com backslash rnc and that is
00:30:04.960
going to be a huge meeting that uh we we want to see a lot of familiar faces at so there was a type
00:30:11.600
of resignation letter um from several state representatives regarding this rnc youth council
00:30:17.680
can you tell me a little bit about what that was about yeah there was frustration that they said they
00:30:24.320
have with inaction from the top of the party and they felt like they weren't really getting any
00:30:27.760
direction from the rnc and that they they were really saying that we we're going to resign until ronna
00:30:32.400
mcdaniel resigns and we're going to step down and i do think it like it's amazing to me that
00:30:36.800
the bravest and boldest among us are these youth advisory members willing to do that because at this
00:30:41.760
point i really think the only way for ronna to to leave the post would be to step down by her own
00:30:47.360
decision and i do think that there that she should do that i think this has become untenable i think
00:30:51.680
there's so much frustration with the the lack of leadership and there's no more time left to kind of
00:30:56.080
wait and and self-correct and so i think the best thing for the party would be for her to step down i think
00:31:00.880
those youth advisory members recognize that and that's what they said on their lap
00:31:07.520
something that i heard throughout the entire con event was that um turning point was doing
00:31:14.000
exactly what the rnc should be doing just i mean i heard it from everyone you know all the breakout
00:31:19.680
sessions all like the speaker sessions ever and it's all age and so it's really sad that the rnc is not
00:31:26.720
coming in um as they should be but thank god that we have turning point tp usa to do these type of
00:31:32.880
events and to really do the outreach a great time and tyler extends her an invitation every time and
00:31:40.080
she declines to come and so you know we i don't know many more olive branches that he can put out or
00:31:45.200
others in the grassroots can put out but she should be there at these things right and like we're not
00:31:49.760
just gonna yell and boot her i would love to hear what plan she has the direction of the rnc she should be
00:31:53.600
communicating that to you know the group of 10 000 patriots that are at these conferences she is
00:31:58.160
invited and she chooses not to come do you think the turning point should have some type of takeover
00:32:04.640
of the rnc because that was something that a lot of people proposed to me when i was talking to posse
00:32:10.240
members well there's some technicalities have to do with the rnc that we have to recognize the rnc is a
00:32:16.880
federal committee and so what happens with that is there's certain money that could go to the rnc that
00:32:21.360
can then form what is called a joint fundraising agreement a jfa with the presidential nominee and
00:32:26.400
the republican ticket which will become trump victory which i think they should go ahead and
00:32:30.000
form it now but they're choosing to wait until the convention when he's the official nominee and you
00:32:34.160
cannot do that with say a turning point usa that's structured as both a 501 c3 and 501 c4 so the filings
00:32:40.160
that the rnc has make it so that we it is imperative that we take over that entity and we cannot just
00:32:46.000
turn all this over to outside groups because the trump campaign cannot form a jfa with say a super
00:32:50.960
pack or you know a turning point type of entity and then from that you can also link in this jfa
00:32:56.560
each of the state parties so when i was the finance uh the national finance consultant for trump victory
00:33:01.360
we would raise into an entity called trump victory and the first i think it was 5600 went to the trump
00:33:06.560
campaign the next 35 000 went to the rnc then the next hundred thousand seven hundred dollars went to
00:33:11.760
something called the rnc legal fund which was supposed to actually go fight uh all the legal
00:33:16.640
battles on behalf of president trump this is where i had my big falling out with the rnc was because i
00:33:20.480
felt like they didn't use that money for that and then once you spill over those buckets it actually
00:33:24.560
links to all 50 republican state parties you're not able to form that jfa with other entities that are
00:33:30.000
501c4s or super PACs so it really ties our hands together like we cannot just give up on the rnc also i
00:33:37.040
get the the need to like and feel to want to boycott funding them but you are actually boycotting
00:33:41.680
funding donald trump when you do that that's why there is so much frustration with me and why i
00:33:45.440
still want to figure out any way to salvage or solve it because this ultimately the person we
00:33:50.080
are hurting by boycotting funding the rnc and not participating with them is donald trump ultimately
00:33:55.520
but you know i i don't in good faith have any uh desire that if i give my money the rnc right now it
00:34:00.640
will be spent well but it doesn't mean it's not a problem we shouldn't still be working to fix
00:34:05.760
yeah yeah big time caroline you're such a fighter where can the posse go and follow you and get the
00:34:11.280
latest rnc fight updates sure it's at caroline wren on twitter getter instagram true social
00:34:20.160
and i just want to make it it's at caroline wren i know this weekend we got um we both got called
00:34:27.600
each other's names so i so many of you walked up to you like your dad is so great keep fighting i'm
00:34:33.360
like my dad lives in texas he's not even political and i realized that everyone just thinks that we're
00:34:38.000
twins which i'm like i love it are you kidding me war room sisters well thank you people can give me
00:34:45.440
gifts great you get a lot of gifts sorry please give this your dad i'm like i am i'm like i'm
00:34:49.520
pocketing it actually thank you that's great well we know that the rnc is missing the mark but grace
00:34:58.400
you have a solution to get around that tell us about bill blaster and how the posse can get on that
00:35:04.080
yes so i wanted to give a big update we will have the android version and also it's going to be
00:35:13.360
compatible to the older iphone versions which is what a lot of the posse members asked about
00:35:18.800
and it will be available right before congress comes back from their three-week vacation uh it's
00:35:25.280
in beta testing right now so it's going to be just we've added so much more features which is why it took
00:35:32.080
a bit longer so i appreciate everyone's um patience while we got this all together but we'll make a big
00:35:40.160
announcement once the android version is ready and also people who iphone users who currently have it
00:35:46.400
make sure to um update it so that you get the the brand new one and it's just calling congress
00:35:54.080
virtually with one touch and it's it's to leverage and to really use our human agency and to you know
00:36:01.040
we've got so many big fights ahead so it's a tool that was made for the posse in order to save our
00:36:06.960
country and you can go to billblasterapp.org or warroom.org to download the iphone version right now
00:36:18.400
and grace i heard that on the town hall last night there was a shout out from one of the guests on stage
00:36:26.240
about billblaster so and i've also heard from many other people in congress that this app is working
00:36:33.680
that the posse is using it to get a hold of their representatives and let their voices be heard so
00:36:39.600
it is a very amazing app but that shout out was very awesome last night yes one of my favorite congressmen
00:36:50.000
right now um representative eli crane it meant so much so definitely download it and thank you so
00:36:57.120
much for everyone's support it was made for the posse
00:37:02.240
okay so our next guest some of you might have seen at amfest he is a iraq veteran and a purple
00:37:10.560
heart recipient we have shane crutchin on hey guys so how what what was your opinion on how amfest went
00:37:22.080
this weekend so i think amfest overall was a great idea uh you know watching charlie kirk and his team
00:37:29.760
grow it is it keeps growing exponentially it's up to i think over 13 000 people now um i think there's
00:37:37.680
stuff that still can be improved but just seeing the growth and the the route it's going is really
00:37:43.440
over the top so i know a lot of the posse they might have seen you there this weekend they might
00:37:50.960
have seen you on the war room set but can you give a little bit of um background of your story
00:37:57.600
yeah so iraq war veteran like you had mentioned uh you know i'm just i'm just a good old boy from
00:38:03.280
wisconsin that you know made something of themselves i have uh i've worked uh i did i did uh campaign
00:38:10.800
videos for president trump in 2016 2020 um i've worked for a couple congressmen i'm uh trying to
00:38:18.560
uh go for something again in california uh in 2024 so we'll see if that works out
00:38:26.720
and i know we discussed this but i believe there was only one veteran on the stage that spoke
00:38:33.680
at amfest over the the three days of speakers um why do you think that turning point doesn't
00:38:41.280
hit with veterans why they don't have more veterans speaking on stage and how can they get more veterans
00:38:47.280
involved into the movement so i think one of the best things that they could do as you know as a team
00:38:54.960
with turning point is getting veterans involved veterans are students as well i know turning point
00:38:59.600
started as a veteran as a uh as a student organization but veterans are within the student
00:39:05.200
ranks uh when i've spoken at numerous colleges for turning point there are so many veterans that are
00:39:11.920
there in the classes that are there that are very interested in politics i believe that veterans have a
00:39:20.240
voice that needs to be heard and a platform i think charlie could charlie and his team could
00:39:26.720
implement veterans just a little better uh making it you know people see that freedom isn't free
00:39:32.880
and it just gives more of traction uh to the to the cause because these veterans are strong-minded
00:39:40.480
strong-willed and do carry a very strong message and a presence within the uh congressional i mean within
00:39:46.560
the conservative movement to where charlie could really lean on them a lot stronger
00:39:53.120
i think that you and i both have many great ideas on how that that could happen i know we're short on
00:40:00.000
time so we could go into many different conversations about veterans issues but what
00:40:04.960
are your social media uh coordinates yeah so uh war underscore rhino um can get a hold of me on
00:40:13.440
pretty much everything as well as shane crutchin on facebook but i'm very active on instagram war
00:40:23.600
thank you for coming on and we'll have to have you back on to talk about more veterans issues
00:40:33.120
grace you know i love the merch at the conference we got the number two

00:41:53.840
up awesome brayden come on in and welcome to the war room you know your mom sam was speaking so
00:42:05.520
highly of you the other day at the conference and knowing you personally i have to say it's all true
00:42:10.800
brayden's awesome he's a fierce young conservative so i want to get your assessment on america fest
00:42:16.800
you're a tp usa ambassador so what's that like going to the conference as an ambassador
00:42:21.600
well turning point takes great care of us they are phenomenal at you know what they do which is
00:42:29.040
bringing youth together to organize rally and and get behind the singular movement of you know
00:42:35.680
conservatism and christianity which not a lot of other companies can really say that they do or not
00:42:40.480
a lot of uh non-profit organizations can say that they do at least to the level of turning point so i'm
00:42:46.400
blessed with the opportunities to to get to go and i did you know a ton of interviews unfortunately
00:42:51.440
i missed being able to get to y'all at the event i'm so glad that we're able to connect here this
00:42:55.520
way but you know i i got to see you and a lot of other friends and it was it was a blast your mom
00:43:01.440
sam talked about her experience homeschooling you and i mean listen there's a lot of stereotypes
00:43:07.040
there's a lot of backlash you know mo and i attended the moms for liberty event over the summer where
00:43:12.000
there's a ton of homeschooling parents who are dealing with you know media and even as far as fbi
00:43:17.520
raids for just you know choosing to teach their children how they feel best fit and you're of
00:43:22.720
course the product of that so speak about your experience do you think that homeschooling was the
00:43:28.000
best option for you and what has it allowed you to do as a result well frankly the lies about
00:43:36.000
homeschooling as everyone knows are untrue you know on good behavior i could get out of the basement maybe
00:43:41.120
twice a week and get to see some sunlight so it was a blast for me but in all seriousness
00:43:46.720
you know i really was the guinea pig for my parents when it came to homeschooling and frankly
00:43:52.800
i have to say i turned out all right you know i wrote a book which ironically mike lindell was one
00:43:57.520
of the endorsers of and i'm going to self-plug if people want to get it at sorbostudios.com they can
00:44:02.880
but i really you know don't see any any reason not to homeschool especially now i mean the number of
00:44:08.720
homeschoolers in the past three years has more than doubled i believe we have over five million families
00:44:13.680
across the united states that are home educating their children and it's phenomenal kind of to see
00:44:19.360
the the the growth in that community because it really is a a group that is expanding rapidly over
00:44:26.960
the past couple years and it's great to see definitely braden where can the posse go follow
00:44:33.360

00:44:39.680

00:44:59.200
excited to be attending nashville line dance with him next month but i want to bring in our next guest
00:45:06.240
we have libby emmons the editor of the post millennial you know libby was all over the place um covering
00:45:14.080
media row seeing what's going on and i feel like the media representation of turning point you know it's
00:45:20.880
often so negative they're saying you know they have these nefarious figures the steve bannon's
00:45:26.400
the jack the sobix and it's kind of crazy because sometimes they're not even there you know they're
00:45:31.440
just writing these hit pieces from afar and they're not actually there in the first person to experience
00:45:37.200
what's going on but from my perspective every conversation that i have everyone that i got to
00:45:42.720
meet was absolutely lovely they're so well informed they're so motivated especially this next
00:45:48.080
generation you know i know that i only just sort of exited the teenage years and exited the high
00:45:53.200
school era but it's so inspiring to see you know these young kids you know keep fighting especially
00:45:59.840
when they're up against such propaganda and you know they're just you know in the media firestorm so
00:46:08.880
hey mo how's it going glad to see you guys hi liby thank you for joining us yeah so i wanted to ask
00:46:20.160
you you were covering media row with the post millennial and human events what was the coverage
00:46:25.360
like and what was your experience at america fest you know i actually thought it was a great conference
00:46:31.040
i've been the past couple of years this year we had a big crew out from the post millennial which was great
00:46:37.200
because so many of us just work remotely and it was really exciting to meet some of the staffers that
00:46:43.840
i only know on skype essentially so that was very cool but it wasn't just uh post millennial and human
00:46:50.160
events staffers that i met that i hadn't known really before but so many people that you only really
00:46:55.200
experience online on you know x or other social media or what have you um and i think that that was true
00:47:02.560
for a lot of people because this is this conservative movement is um you know there's a lot of young
00:47:09.600
people in it and it's spread all across the country so being able to get that face time with people that
00:47:14.960
you share views with gives a lot of courage it gives people the opportunity to go back to their
00:47:21.120
hometowns go back to you know the places they live and know that they are bolstered um not just by you know
00:47:28.800
online or media or whatever what have you but by new friends and new people that they've met
00:47:36.240

nationalists you are the greatest threat to the system there's ever been this is why they fear trump
00:48:56.800
here's how worried they are about you you got this guy here to robert kagan it really did
00:49:01.760
take someone like trump that could be a real threat to our democracy now what can we do about
00:49:07.120
it well as i say we've already not done the things that we all agreed needed to be done those things
00:49:12.800
have not been done kagan writes a piece in the jeff bezos amazon washington post it basically makes
00:49:22.480
the intellectual and moral case for the assassination of donald trump that trump's caesar
00:49:28.240
and trump's got a bunch of followers like caesar had and then brutus and other rational reasonable men
00:49:34.160
have got to sit there and take action it is an outright justification intellectually and morally
00:49:40.480
for the assassination of donald j trump are you going to stand for that if you wrote a essay like that
00:49:47.520
and printed it off on biden they would come down and kick down your door in a new york second to
00:49:52.000
drag you out in chains you back there in the media here's what we want we want immediately the secret
00:49:59.840
