00:00:30.000 We are in a fifth generational conflict.
00:00:40.160 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.780 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.700 Deliver us from evil.
00:00:51.420 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to part two of a very special two-part series here on Human Events Daily.
00:00:59.540 The inside story of the rise of J.D. Vance.
00:01:03.780 So many people were asking, how did this pick take place?
00:01:07.880 How was this election made?
00:01:09.620 How was it that Donald Trump stood up to the special interest, the military-industrial complex,
00:01:15.840 the moneyed interests, and I'm just going to say it, the Murdoch empire?
00:01:21.040 Me, Charlie, and the entire team have got the story, and we're giving it to you.
00:01:24.880 And somehow, a real estate developer from New York City by the name of Donald J. Trump was right
00:01:34.080 on all of these issues while Biden was wrong.
00:01:36.760 President Trump knew even then that we needed leaders who would put America first.
00:01:48.640 Now, thanks to these policies that Biden and other out-of-touch politicians in Washington
00:01:59.560 gave us, our country was flooded with cheap Chinese goods, with cheap foreign labor, and 1.00
00:02:06.920 in the decades to come, deadly Chinese fentanyl.
00:02:10.840 Joe Biden screwed up, and my community paid the price.
00:02:14.400 Now, I was lucky.
00:02:17.900 Despite the closing factories and the growing addiction in towns like mine, in my life, I
00:02:23.340 had a guardian angel by my side.
00:02:25.720 She was an old woman who could barely walk, but she was tough as nails. 1.00
00:02:30.520 I called her Mamaw, the name we hillbillies gave to our grandmothers. 0.65
00:02:34.300 Mamaw raised me as her own, excuse me, Mamaw raised me as my mother struggled with addiction. 1.00
00:02:48.860 Mamaw was in so many ways a woman of contradiction. 1.00
00:02:52.160 She loved the Lord, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:53.760 She was a woman of very deep Christian faith.
00:02:55.740 But she also loved the F word.
00:03:07.740 I'm not kidding.
00:03:09.040 She could make a sailor blush. 1.00
00:03:12.720 Now, she once told me, when she found out that I was spending too much time with a local
00:03:17.380 kid who was known for dealing drugs, that if I ever hung out with that kid again, she 1.00
00:03:22.760 would run him over with her car. 0.95
00:03:23.920 That's true.
00:03:30.860 And she said, J.D., no one will ever find out about it.
00:03:41.640 The only point of today that I actually went into the Pfizer forum was to watch J.D. get
00:03:49.460 his nomination.
00:03:50.980 Now, he didn't speak at the nomination, but he appeared on the floor.
00:03:55.520 And I think this was just maybe, maybe minutes after actually receiving word.
00:04:02.020 And Charlie, you were just saying, I mean, I've screenshot of my text history because I
00:04:05.740 think it's actually going to be really important for like future generations.
00:04:08.960 Historical.
00:04:09.260 I said at 1.23, I said, I bet you get a call in the next 20 or 30.
00:04:15.820 I said, it's happening quick.
00:04:17.300 Be ready for the cameras.
00:04:18.800 And then at 2.16, thanks for everything, dude.
00:04:24.540 And 2.16, but also so 2.16, that's 12 minutes after Trump's truth post.
00:04:32.420 Correct.
00:04:32.920 Which means whatever call they had was not long.
00:04:35.200 By the way, I was right on my timing.
00:04:36.720 So I saw things.
00:04:37.900 Correct.
00:04:38.300 Like coming in to gear.
00:04:40.460 And I was like, be ready.
00:04:42.180 And then, yeah, it's just.
00:04:44.960 So, so anyway.
00:04:46.020 Again, I'm still trying to process.
00:04:47.220 Do you think Trump.
00:04:48.240 Because I'm like an insider outsider.
00:04:49.260 Do you think Trump has made a final decision at noon today?
00:04:52.080 No.
00:04:52.580 Well, yes.
00:04:52.980 I think, look, here's my speculation.
00:04:55.000 So there's also the RNC paperwork.
00:04:57.500 Well, that was the forcing function.
00:04:59.020 That was the forcing function.
00:05:00.000 But I think that President Trump, first and foremost, he was obsessed with the idea of
00:05:06.140 the most eyeballs on a convention where it's like The Apprentice.
00:05:09.060 So he had that as an idea.
00:05:10.440 Because every time I spoke to him about this, that was his idea.
00:05:12.520 Number two, he was legitimately trying to not make a Pence mistake.
00:05:18.600 Yeah.
00:05:18.900 And because of that, he wanted to exhaustively hear from everybody multiple times, every
00:05:24.760 argument until he could repeat them back.
00:05:26.580 Okay.
00:05:27.380 And so everybody was weighing in and calling and from different camps.
00:05:33.620 And I'm just speculating here.
00:05:35.500 But I think the president started to see similarity between the type of people that were advocating
00:05:41.460 for JD and type of people that were not advocating for JD.
00:05:46.420 And don't say your credit.
00:05:49.040 Okay.
00:05:49.300 No, no, no.
00:05:49.740 No, I'm not going to.
00:05:50.580 I'm not going to.
00:05:51.300 But to your credit, this someone else on the RNC brought up this point to me tonight.
00:05:55.080 So we're hanging out in the lounge outside.
00:05:57.920 And they came up to me on this topic and they said, it is so good and refreshing that the
00:06:06.060 president spent the time going through all that, hearing from those voices, lining them
00:06:10.860 up in columns.
00:06:11.560 And so he started to hear all the chatter and he started to say, wait a second, the people
00:06:18.280 who don't like JD have waffled on me on the past, supported my opponents.
00:06:24.440 Got in and out.
00:06:28.240 All right, folks, we're back here.
00:06:29.340 Cuban Events Daily.
00:06:30.120 I got to tell you, the world is in flames and Bidenomics is a complete and total disaster.
00:06:34.300 But it cannot and will not ruin my day.
00:06:35.960 Do you know why?
00:06:36.700 It's because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.
00:06:40.880 This coffee is 100% America.
00:06:42.440 Blackout coffee is 100% committed to conservative values.
00:06:45.160 From sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support and shipping, they embody
00:06:48.740 true American values and accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:06:52.540 Look, I love this stuff.
00:06:53.740 You guys don't love it, too.
00:06:55.200 Powers me, powers the show, powers our business, powers our family.
00:06:58.760 And I'm going to tell you something right now.
00:07:00.660 Support businesses like Out Blackout Coffee because they love and support America.
00:07:05.240 It's family owned.
00:07:06.180 Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO20 for 20% off your first order.
00:07:13.060 Folks, back to school is just around the corner and it's never too soon to give mom and those
00:07:17.660 close to your heart the gift of being awake, not woke, with Blackout Coffee.
00:07:21.320 blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO, blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO, and use promo code POSO20.
00:07:27.340 Now, thanks to that mamaw, things worked out for me.
00:07:43.800 After 9-11, I did what thousands of other young men my age did in that time of soaring patriotism
00:07:50.120 and love of country.
00:07:51.480 I enlisted in the United States Marines.
00:07:53.400 Semper Fi to my fellow Marines.
00:08:06.920 Now, I left the Marines after four years and went to the Ohio State University.
00:08:11.420 I'm sorry, Michigan.
00:08:21.620 I had to get that in there.
00:08:32.300 Come on, come on. 0.99
00:08:33.840 We've had enough political violence.
00:08:35.560 Now, after Ohio State, I went to Yale Law School where I met my beautiful wife, and then
00:08:43.760 I started businesses to create jobs in the kind of places that I grew up in.
00:08:48.600 Now, my work taught me that there is still so much talent and grit in the American heartland.
00:08:54.020 There really is.
00:08:55.220 But for these places to thrive, my friends, we need a leader who fights for the people who
00:09:01.240 built this country.
00:09:10.400 We need a leader who's not in the pocket of big business, but answers to the working man,
00:09:16.280 union and non-union alike.
00:09:18.360 A leader who won't sell out to multinational corporations, but will stand up for American
00:09:30.240 companies and American industry.
00:09:38.520 A leader who rejects Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' Green News scam and fights to bring back our
00:09:44.900 great American factories, we need President Donald J. Trump.
00:10:01.060 Some people tell me I've lived the American dream, and of course they're right, and I'm
00:10:04.480 so grateful for it.
00:10:05.400 But the American dream that always counted most was not starting a business, or becoming
00:10:10.400 a senator, or even being here with you fine people, though it's pretty awesome.
00:10:15.940 My most important American dream was becoming a good husband and a good dad, of being able
00:10:20.940 to give...
00:10:21.560 Thank you.
00:10:23.800 I wanted to give my kids the things that I didn't have when I was growing up, and that's
00:10:33.960 the accomplishment that I'm proudest of.
00:10:36.980 That tonight, I'm joined by my beautiful wife, Usha, an incredible lawyer and a better mom,
00:10:44.440 and our three beautiful kids, Ewan, who's seven, Vivek, who's four, and Mirabelle, who's two.
00:10:50.480 Now, they're back at the hotel, and kids, if you're watching, Daddy loves you very much,
00:10:54.940 but get your butts in bed. 1.00
00:10:56.920 It's 10 o'clock.
00:11:01.420 But, my friends, things did not work out well for a lot of kids I grew up with.
00:11:06.220 Every now and then, I will get a call from a relative back home who asks, did you know
00:11:10.380 so-and-so?
00:11:11.600 And I'll remember a face from years ago, and then I'll hear, they died of an overdose.
00:11:15.860 As always, America's ruling class wrote the checks.
00:11:20.680 Communities like mine paid the price.
00:11:23.300 For decades, that divide between the few with their power and comfort in Washington and the
00:11:28.460 rest of us only widened.
00:11:30.460 From Iraq to Afghanistan, from the financial crisis to the Great Recession, from open borders 0.77
00:11:36.080 to stagnating wages, the people who govern this country have failed and failed again.
00:11:50.440 That is, of course, until a guy named Donald J. Trump came along.
00:11:53.500 President Trump represents America's last best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be
00:12:05.180 found again.
00:12:06.420 A country where a working-class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage 1.00
00:12:12.680 as the next vice president of the United States of America.
00:12:15.780 Thank you, guys.
00:12:37.940 But, my fellow Americans here in this stage and watching at home, this moment is not about
00:12:44.900 me, it's about all of us, and it's about who we're fighting for.
00:12:49.580 It's about the autoworker in Michigan, wondering why out-of-touch politicians are destroying
00:12:54.420 their jobs.
00:12:57.100 It's about the factory worker in Wisconsin who makes things with their hands and is proud
00:13:02.460 of American craftsmanship.
00:13:08.140 Are really pro-Ukraine in, like, a very strange, like, hypersexual way?
00:13:12.780 Not pro-Ukraine, but pro, like, war. 0.91
00:13:15.400 No, I, yeah, I know, but, like, you can just fill in the gaps of who that might be.
00:13:19.100 Yeah.
00:13:19.560 And so, and again, I just, the president did, conducted the most thorough vice presidential
00:13:26.960 search, I think, in history.
00:13:29.040 So, wait, wait, Charlie, what you're saying is that Trump did the vetting himself.
00:13:34.040 Well, the camp, here's what I know.
00:13:35.240 The campaign team did all of the backgrounding dossiers.
00:13:38.840 Like, the official vetting.
00:13:39.640 Yes, so, like, you know, is there a divorce we don't know about?
00:13:42.620 Is there a scandal, right?
00:13:43.860 So, as soon as all those people, Phil, you know, went through that vetting, he was given
00:13:49.480 like, basically a binder on each.
00:13:52.020 Here's all the negative stuff they've ever said about you, just so you know, right?
00:13:55.720 And so then, from that point forward, it was like, this is your decision.
00:13:59.240 And the campaign handled it beautifully.
00:14:01.760 There was, like, no manipulation.
00:14:03.060 There was no steering.
00:14:04.200 They were like, this is your decision.
00:14:05.220 And, again, he was hearing from a wide range of voices on this.
00:14:10.560 And, again, the list that emerged and why J.D. was selected was loyalty.
00:14:17.800 But I never got the, people are saying it's heir apparent.
00:14:20.600 I think that's playing into it.
00:14:21.720 I don't actually think that's correct.
00:14:23.680 I believe that President Trump enjoyed spending time with J.D. the most out of all the finalists.
00:14:28.520 Really?
00:14:28.760 J.D.'s an enjoyable person to be around.
00:14:30.320 I think that President Trump felt warm as if this is someone who gets him, someone who
00:14:34.900 is high energy, someone who is high achieving, someone that is very high IQ, that understands
00:14:40.160 the MAGA base, plus it checks all the boxes of that region of the world.
00:14:44.120 And I think it was as simple as, I want to hang out with him more.
00:14:49.140 It's like, again, there were other elements at play.
00:14:51.780 I've heard, I'm not going to name names, but I've heard that he made some comments about
00:14:58.860 other individuals who were in the running that were hanging out with him a lot lately.
00:15:04.400 And don't say any names.
00:15:05.340 I know what you're saying.
00:15:07.320 Wasn't, you know, as interested in all of it.
00:15:11.380 And so the thing I just wanted to say about J.D.'s are the two things.
00:15:18.100 Number one, I think the East Palestinian trip was seminal in the way J.D. put that together
00:15:23.280 because that was a very special moment for Trump.
00:15:26.320 I think it was a turning point for his campaign.
00:15:28.520 I think it was.
00:15:28.900 There was a lot of discussion of that in the press today about how important that was
00:15:31.940 to his campaign.
00:15:32.320 It was monumental.
00:15:33.320 Because Trump before that was just J6. 0.55
00:15:35.540 It was all J6.
00:15:36.520 It was J6, J6, J6, J6.
00:15:37.920 He had announced already, no, J.D. had endorsed, which also plays a role.
00:15:42.080 When was East Palestine?
00:15:43.580 I think it was like February 2023.
00:15:45.620 February of 23.
00:15:46.620 But remember, he went to the McDonald's afterwards.
00:15:49.480 Right, but that was the first one.
00:15:51.100 I totally agree.
00:15:51.380 That was the first one of the campaign where he did any of those things, and J.D. was seminal
00:15:57.140 in setting it up.
00:15:57.920 Early.
00:15:58.500 Didn't set up early.
00:15:59.600 It was early before everybody was.
00:16:01.880 Understand, J.D. was only a senator for a couple months at that point.
00:16:05.160 A couple weeks.
00:16:05.900 A couple weeks, yeah.
00:16:06.520 But then Donald Trump watches a lot of TV, and he noticed something in J.D. that he
00:16:11.100 hadn't noticed in other endorsed candidates, which is here's how it usually works.
00:16:15.460 They grow close to Trump when they're in cycle.
00:16:17.340 They get the endorsement, and then they kind of just do their own thing, and it kind of
00:16:20.680 becomes Chamber of Commerce talking points, and there's distance.
00:16:23.920 He was like, wait, J.D.'s still defending me.
00:16:27.760 Yeah.
00:16:28.120 And he was the first senator, I think, to endorse Trump, like one of the first.
00:16:31.240 He put in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, and it wasn't just like he tweeted it out.
00:16:36.780 He had a whole full summary of why he was doing it, and it was all based in MAGA values.
00:16:42.400 It was not this warmed-over Chamber of Commerce or Neocon World talking points about blah, blah, blah.
00:16:50.140 No, it was really full-throated MAGA.
00:16:52.380 And just, please tell us.
00:16:53.560 I was just going to say this point, too, that this is more of the insider baseball stuff,
00:16:57.700 but J.D. surrounded himself with really good people.
00:17:01.340 So I want to make this-
00:17:02.140 Staffed really well.
00:17:02.680 I'm going to tell you this right now, that most people that surround even our best people
00:17:07.360 suck. 1.00
00:17:08.760 And J.D., on the other hand, is surrounded by incredibly loyal people, not just to J.D.,
00:17:16.440 but to the movement in general.
00:17:17.760 And I can tell you, when things have gone really well for Turning Point and things like
00:17:22.580 that, one of the first people to reach out has been J.D. and his team.
00:17:26.340 They've reached out and said, great job with this, or awesome job.
00:17:30.320 That doesn't happen anywhere else, and people listening at home need to understand this.
00:17:34.360 He is an incredible person, but surrounded by incredible people.
00:17:37.720 It was his 10th wedding anniversary.
00:17:39.500 We had the People's Convention in Detroit.
00:17:42.000 And I was like, dude, I want you to be VP.
00:17:45.320 I was public at that point.
00:17:46.380 I was like, we're doing a straw poll.
00:17:47.600 I think you'll do well if you show up.
00:17:50.080 This is the hilarious thing.
00:17:51.220 I was like, hey, Lauren, J.D.'s coming because I had to fly home because of a baby issue.
00:17:53.980 I was like a three-week-old, all that great stuff.
00:17:56.020 And I'm like, hey, Lauren, so he's coming.
00:17:57.720 She's like, yeah, he's driving himself from Columbus.
00:18:02.380 And I'm like, what?
00:18:03.880 What?
00:18:04.060 I'm like, again, I'm kind of used to, like, I'm charging a plane.
00:18:07.000 No, no, no.
00:18:07.320 J.D. drove.
00:18:07.580 He jumped in the minivan, and he just came up.
00:18:09.700 I kid you not, J.D. Vance.
00:18:11.040 A senator.
00:18:11.500 Literally on a Sunday morning, woke up at, like, 6 a.m., got, like, a big thing of coffee
00:18:15.560 and drove up himself from Columbus, Ohio to Detroit, Michigan, spoke at our event, did
00:18:21.360 all the media, shook all the hands, got back in his car, and drove back to Columbus, Ohio.

00:19:56.380 Thank you.
00:20:26.380 Thank you.
00:20:28.380 You guys are a great crowd.
00:20:29.260 Wow.
00:20:29.960 Yes, we are!
00:20:33.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:39.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:41.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:46.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:50.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:54.100 Yes, we are!
00:20:56.100 And it's about, our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and 0.87
00:21:05.160 addiction but never gave up.
00:21:07.340 And I'm proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober.
00:21:11.980 I love you, Mom.
00:21:21.980 I love you, Mom.
00:21:51.980 I love you, Mom.
00:21:58.980 And you know, Mom, I was thinking it'll be 10 years officially in January of the year,
00:22:14.980 and if President Trump's okay with it, let's have the celebration in the White House.
00:22:21.980 And our movement, ladies and gentlemen, it's about grandparents all across this country
00:22:28.980 who are living on Social Security and raising grandchildren they didn't expect to raise.
00:22:35.980 And while we're on the topic of grandparents, let me tell you another mamaw story.
00:22:42.980 Now my mamaw died shortly before I left for Iraq in 2005.
00:22:49.980 And when we went through her things, we found 19 loaded handguns.
00:22:56.980 They were...
00:23:03.980 Now the thing is, they were stashed all over her house, under her bed, in her closet, in
00:23:10.980 the silverware drawer.
00:23:17.980 And we wondered what was going on, and it occurred to us that towards the end of her life, mamaw couldn't 0.93
00:23:24.980 get around so well.
00:23:25.980 And so this frail old woman made sure that no matter where she was, she was within arm's 0.97
00:23:31.980 length of whatever she needed to protect her family.
00:23:33.980 That's who we fight for.
00:23:37.980 That's American spirit.
00:23:51.400 That's J.D.
00:23:58.980 That's like 3 hours each way.
00:23:59.660 Charlie, let me add more context to that because I was there because, no, no.
00:24:03.660 no you weren't there because you had to leave and i saw him i saw him he came by himself walks in
00:24:10.560 this doesn't happen okay i remember him being by himself he walks in by himself yeah big hugs
00:24:15.320 hey so good to see you yeah yeah we're just chatting hanging out i i had so happy to be
00:24:21.960 here i had so happy charlie i had more people there than jd vance did but like my family was
00:24:26.920 there he walked in it's not even that he drove himself up normally like oh i drove myself up
00:24:31.540 like a staffer will drive up with it or drive up or drive anybody i mean you're u.s senator man
00:24:35.360 so he just rolls a staff of 15 because you know i had just come off i had just come off stage when
00:24:40.440 he went on to speak and it actually didn't occur to me i thought the staff was you know like in the
00:24:44.360 wings or something because we were just in that little like area oh my gosh and he what and he
00:24:51.020 walks in it doesn't even make any sense he gives our step he he knows our people he talks he stopped
00:24:56.800 he is the number one most like liked human being in turning point events like not even close i mean
00:25:03.620 meaning as far as like easy to work with when i was like pushing for jd lauren was like please like
00:25:07.860 make a jd please make a jd he's a he's a wonderful human being remember when we did the jd rally in
00:25:13.680 ohio yes and his again his team was awesome it was crazy it was absolutely crazy got together before the
00:25:21.160 election he i mean i'm i'm not i cannot impress upon the audience this enough he's the vice
00:25:27.820 president can't vice presidential candidate we have right now he's one of the greatest the best
00:25:32.120 i've ever seen in politics the best vice presidential candidate we've ever had in my lifetime
00:25:37.040 by bar i'm trying to think one like maybe who's even better in like the last hundred years ever
00:25:43.280 glake's gonna say nixon teddy roosevelt i have my not 100 i have my nixon now sign over there that
00:25:49.540 you're right you know you know we're a block away from where teddy roosevelt was shot in the
00:25:53.520 constitution yeah block that's crazy the thing i do want to say about jd though is that i saw today
00:25:59.340 was i remember people were asking me when he walked out on the floor whether or not he was going to
00:26:06.940 speak in and i believe he slated to speak on wednesday night and and i remember i was looking at
00:26:13.400 him and from my vantage point you know i wasn't nearby but i could you know i could see him enough to
00:26:18.620 see his face and i was looking and i could see i was like i don't think he can speak right now
00:26:22.600 because you you could see he had this look on his face with just tears in his eyes and there's that
00:26:27.800 choked up smiles and being polite he was with the ohio delegation um but i mean you you could tell that
00:26:35.320 he in his head he was thinking about it seemed to me just reading his face he looked like he was
00:26:41.820 thinking how did i get here how did i get here and he's been public about his story he's been public
00:26:46.840 about his his very not easy childhood and all of a sudden to see that came out eight years ago he's
00:26:53.740 not somebody it wasn't about him because it wasn't about him here at the rnc thankfully we're getting
00:26:59.180 rid of this old guard the schemers and the plotters and the planners are abundant here the cockroaches
00:27:03.780 where it's all about an angle because i want to be dog catcher then i'm county commissioner and then
00:27:07.780 i'm state rep and then i'm congressman and then i'm chair of this and then a senator and then one day i
00:27:12.320 could become president in my own crazy drama in my own mind jd vance ran as the senate he was pulling
00:27:17.540 it like two percent for like forever we endorsed him right out of the gate we endorsed as he came
00:27:21.680 to our office we told the story today he came to our office and this is what happened this is literally
00:27:27.280 what happened came to our office spent basically two days at our office hanging out hanging out
00:27:31.960 like tell me about how you guys do stuff and like literally we're telling super curious super curious
00:27:37.880 he would ask us questions like what would turning point do in this situation or like what is what do
00:27:42.980 you guys think about like literally just normal conversation and i i was really impressed because
00:27:48.980 he's i mean he's like my age right so he's like he's he's like my age so it's like talking to
00:27:53.780 you know we're the same age so we're all the same age so it's like it's like talking to your friend
00:27:59.200 and he left and charlie and i sat down and we were talking about this we're like i think we have to
00:28:05.940 endorse him like he's i was like because we we had just like the amount of enemies i created from
00:28:12.060 that endorsement i mean well this is what happened so this is the story so we're like i think we have
00:28:17.620 to endorse this so i'm like okay we'll put together a graph because we hadn't really started endorsing
00:28:20.580 anyone at turning point action at all and so i told our team that was really small at the time
00:28:24.940 because we hadn't grown this was before like anything we had started building a team and i
00:28:30.340 said put together an endorsement graphic and the team put together an endorsement graphic and tweeted
00:28:34.140 it out immediately on accident oh and then so like a thousand so like on accident not that we didn't
00:28:41.080 want to endorse them we wanted to endorse them but we weren't like ready to press the we weren't the
00:28:44.460 buttons we were gonna usually there's like because i was gonna call josh mandel i was gonna call
00:28:48.380 other candidates as where is our policy and let them know we're not endorsing you you know and like
00:28:52.900 all our ohio contacts and just like let everybody know donors and talk call donors and stuff i lost
00:28:57.820 so many donors over that jd oh it was immediate and so charlie calls me he's like i just got like 50
00:29:03.680 phone calls from donors what is going on like what is going on i was like of course we want to do this
00:29:07.900 but you have to let me run charlie just tell him i was like yeah i was like charlie it was a total
00:29:11.760 accident but like we just should just live with it at this point and we did and we stuck with it and we
00:29:17.120 were like the first endorsement out of the gate we were like one of the first ones when he was at like
00:29:20.880 one or two percent and then i went while erica was seven months pregnant i can't remember that jd yes
00:29:27.260 for half of a week with him in the primary because i was like jd i'm of no help in the general
00:29:32.440 right i want to see you become a senator more than anything else because i i literally said i was like
00:29:36.260 this guy is the future of the party we were all in in the 2022 midterms we we had to be because
00:29:41.620 everyone would like got so angry about it of one of the worst nights ever the 2022 midterms when it
00:29:45.560 was just like that was the only consolation yeah that was like that was our we were like jd's a
00:29:49.840 senator sucks yeah right and we were like at least we got this done and because i saw in him what we've 0.86
00:29:56.080 been lacking is like he understands the maga agenda he is one of you he's from that part of the world
00:30:01.380 that has been forgotten and looked over he broke through you don't get enough credit though charlie
00:30:05.820 because like you could have got really we could have we could have waited we could have not done
00:30:11.580 anything and i i just still remember sitting there and it was one of those moments thinking
00:30:16.640 there's like god moments clearly we're here you know where we're at where you were like we just
00:30:22.100 have to endorse him and then again you don't get enough credit for this but you were one of the first
00:30:26.860 people to go do stuff with him right and you know and that does but that led these kind of things lead
00:30:33.600 to you know other endorsements and things like that and it like helps build you know the you live in
00:30:40.640 activism that's what we do at turning point action it's activism right so building that activist
00:30:44.500 space behind a person and voices that matter i mean look we're here today now but there's with a
00:30:49.860 incredible the best ever vp candidate that we possibly can

00:32:22.040 now joe biden has been a politician in washington for longer than i've been alive
00:32:28.540 39 years old kamala harris is not much further behind
00:32:33.460 for half a century he's been the champion of every major policy initiative to make america weaker and
00:32:41.900 poor and in four short years donald trump reversed decades of betrayals inflicted by joe biden
00:32:50.980 and the rest of the corrupt washington insiders
00:32:53.900 he created the greatest economy in history for workers really was amazing there's there's this chart
00:33:08.260 that shows worker wages and they stagnated for pretty much my entire life until president donald j trump
00:33:15.980 came along workers wages went through the roof
00:33:18.840 and just imagine what he's going to do when we give him four more years
00:33:29.340 months ago i heard some young family member observe that their parents generations
00:33:59.320 the baby boomers could afford to buy a home when they first entered the workforce
00:34:02.740 but i don't know this person observed if i'll ever be able to afford a home
00:34:07.920 the absurd cost of housing is the result of so many failures and it reveals so much
00:34:14.740 about what's broken in washington i can tell you exactly how it happened
00:34:20.200 wall street barons crashed the economy and american builders went out of business
00:34:25.700 as tradesmen scrambled for jobs houses stopped being built the lack of good jobs of course led
00:34:33.200 to stagnant wages and then the democrats flooded this country with millions of illegal aliens 0.94
00:34:39.460 so citizens had to compete with people who shouldn't even be here for precious housing
00:34:50.040 joe biden's inflation crisis my friends is really an affordability crisis and many of the people that
00:34:57.560 i grew up with can't afford to pay more for groceries more for gas more for rent and that's exactly
00:35:03.860 what joe biden's economy has given them
00:35:06.280 your purpose Folks have been pauses
00:35:26.660 so prices soared dreams were shattered and china and the cartels sent ventin all across the border adding addiction to the heartache 0.95
00:35:33.780 adding addiction to the heartache.
00:35:36.680 But ladies and gentlemen, that is not the end of our story.
00:35:42.040 We've heard about villains and their victims.
00:35:44.520 I've talked a lot about that.
00:35:45.640 But let me tell you about the future.
00:35:49.000 President Trump's vision is so simple and yet so powerful.
00:35:54.440 We're done, ladies and gentlemen, catering to Wall Street.
00:35:57.600 We'll commit to the working man. 0.98
00:36:03.780 We're done importing foreign labor.
00:36:10.980 We're going to fight for American citizens and their good jobs and their good wages.
00:36:23.000 We're done by an energy from countries that hate us.
00:36:25.740 We're going to get it right here from American workers in Pennsylvania and Ohio and across the country.
00:36:33.780 We're done sacrificing supply chains to unlimited global trade.
00:36:40.920 And we're going to stamp more and more products with that beautiful label, Made in the USA.
00:36:46.040 Let's just be like, Blake, I want to get this direct question to you because Trump was being pressured.
00:37:00.940 Again, let's talk about stereotypical, like what people think Trump is, what Trump actually is.
00:37:05.440 People think Trump is very manipulatable, that Trump will just cow to like a small collection of certain people on TV and or donors' interests.
00:37:12.620 But this shows that's actually not true.
00:37:15.380 Donald Trump really kind of gave the finger to a lot of people by doing this.
00:37:20.160 Like a lot of people.
00:37:21.300 Yeah, a ton.
00:37:22.360 And the pressure went up and up and up and up the whole time.
00:37:25.820 And they're all thinking, OK, we can get our hooks in him over this or that.
00:37:28.900 And I think it really is a testament to his instincts, as you said.
00:37:33.100 And his courage.
00:37:34.020 His courage.
00:37:34.720 Well, we saw that on Saturday.
00:37:36.480 I want to have Blake finish.
00:37:38.580 But I think he really has those very powerful, raw instincts.
00:37:44.080 And those guided him the whole way on this, where he's thinking, as you said, what will it look like at the convention?
00:37:52.060 What will it look like for our ticket?
00:37:53.980 What does it look like for our movement?
00:37:55.660 And what do the people pushing him look like versus what do the people who are against him look like?
00:38:00.320 And I don't just mean physically, but also what are they saying?
00:38:03.480 What have they done?
00:38:04.660 What has been their standing in the entire movement since I've started running?
00:38:09.180 And I think all of that is working in his head as he's approaching this decision.
00:38:13.780 There is one thing that I would like to get across before we say that.
00:38:16.740 And we've all kind of talked around it.
00:38:18.460 And I'll put it to Charlie because, Charlie, you, you know, blah, blah, blah, had the vision for Turning Point, et cetera, et cetera.
00:38:24.040 But seriously, this is a moment where Trump came in.
00:38:30.140 And, Blake, as you say, this is a risk.
00:38:32.760 This is a gamble.
00:38:34.020 But he's in a moment where the odds are kind of in his favor.
00:38:37.860 And as a true entrepreneur knows that you bet big when you're in a moment like that.
00:38:45.120 And he's betting on the future with this because it's a generational pick.
00:38:51.580 Totally right.
00:38:52.360 I will say, though, that even if Trump was behind in the polls, J.D. makes the most sense politically.
00:38:57.080 I don't think Rubio wins you that many voters.
00:38:58.760 I don't necessarily mean polls.
00:39:00.380 I don't necessarily mean polls.
00:39:00.720 I just want to be clear.
00:39:01.980 Because the way that Fox was talking about it today drove me nuts.
00:39:04.940 I was throwing stuff at the TV.
00:39:06.640 I didn't actually see much of it.
00:39:07.360 A lot of sour grapes.
00:39:08.700 Well, it goes back to what you talked about earlier, which is what we talked about.
00:39:12.280 If you want a man to vote, J.D. is your guy. 0.98
00:39:17.080 Yeah, exactly.
00:39:17.960 Wait a second.
00:39:18.500 Also, you want to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
00:39:20.300 That's it.
00:39:20.480 The whole race is over. 0.99
00:39:21.200 Over, like, nominate someone from that region of the world.
00:39:23.920 And they literally said, well, this is a mark of a very overconfident candidate.
00:39:27.700 Like, wait, hold on a second.
00:39:29.080 This is actually at.
00:39:30.320 And then finally, you know what the data is screaming at us?
00:39:32.980 Please put someone on the ticket under the age of 50. 0.72
00:39:35.580 Please.
00:39:36.220 And now we have it.
00:39:37.300 Totally.
00:39:37.740 Like, so they have literally.
00:39:39.960 Two J.D. Vances are still younger than Joe Biden.
00:39:42.820 Oh, that's a great tweet.
00:39:44.380 That's a great tweet.
00:39:45.200 No, J.D. Vance is true.
00:39:46.600 Oh, that's great.
00:39:47.180 It's true.
00:39:47.600 Yeah.
00:39:47.980 J.D. Vance.
00:39:48.880 Daisy, tweet that.
00:39:51.280 I love that.
00:39:52.600 Oh, my gosh.
00:39:53.280 But J.D. Vance is our Obama-esque candidate.
00:39:59.840 And here's the reason why.
00:40:01.060 And this is what Obama proves.
00:40:02.060 He is our Obama.
00:40:03.140 J.D. Vance is our Obama.
00:40:05.340 I don't want to get clipped.
00:40:06.780 Yes, exactly.
00:40:07.960 I don't want to get clipped.
00:40:08.680 No, we're getting clipped on that one.
00:40:10.280 Definitely.
00:40:10.600 Because we said this on ThoughtGrid before.
00:40:12.120 I said that.
00:40:12.780 But J.D. Vance is doing what for us, what Obama did for them, in that Obama campaigned
00:40:20.740 to a base of voters that had never been campaigned to before and expanded their pool.
00:40:26.160 I get what you're saying.
00:40:27.280 Just so we are clear, and I'm going to say this publicly and privately, if we are to win
00:40:31.240 the presidency, and if J.D. wants to run in the future, his immediate goal needs to
00:40:35.800 be in voter registration, 501c4 build-out, of making the coalition permanent, not just
00:40:42.520 Trump.
00:40:43.000 This goes back to the Elon money, though, we just talked about.
00:40:45.980 Yeah.
00:40:46.200 No, I mean, because...
00:40:46.980 If we do it right.
00:40:47.820 If we do it right, J.D. Vance could, because he's such a strategic, smart thinker, say,
00:40:52.840 you have an opportunity, because of the Teamsters thing, muscular class, low-prop voters, to
00:40:57.820 do what the Dems did with Obama, where they all of a sudden found 15% of new Americans
00:41:02.420 that they've held on to pretty well, honestly.
00:41:04.320 And then Trump resurrected that.
00:41:05.720 Well, they've also been increasing that number of new Americans as a way to...
00:41:10.660 And we need our own amalgamated bank, and we need our own...
00:41:14.500 We just coupled everything.
00:41:15.700 But that's the smart that J.D. will give us that everybody else wouldn't have.
00:41:21.960 That's being the move.
00:41:22.840 Now, we won't agree on every issue, of course, not even in this room.
00:41:33.660 We may disagree from time to time about how best to reinvigorate American industry and
00:41:38.300 renew American family.
00:41:39.440 That's fine.
00:41:40.180 In fact, it's more than fine.
00:41:41.520 It's good.
00:41:42.660 But never forget that the reason why this united Republican Party exists, why we do this,
00:41:48.340 why we care about those great ideas and that great history, is that we want this nation
00:41:53.880 to thrive for centuries to come.
00:41:55.940 Now, eventually in that mountain cemetery, my children will lay me to rest.
00:42:11.920 And when they do, I would like them to know that thanks to the work of this Republican Party,
00:42:17.100 the United States of America, and as strong and as proud and as great as ever.
00:42:22.560 That is who we serve, my friends.
00:42:36.920 That is who we fight for.
00:42:38.380 And the only thing that we need to do right now, the most important thing that we can do
00:42:43.880 for those people, for that American nation that we all love, is to re-elect Donald J.
00:42:49.540 Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.
00:43:11.000 Mr. President, I will never take for granted the trust you have put in me.
00:43:16.720 And what an honor it is to help achieve the extraordinary vision that you have for this country.
00:43:23.040 Now, I pledge to every American, no matter your party, I will give you everything I have
00:43:28.940 to serve you and to make this country a place where every dream you have for yourself, your
00:43:34.320 family, and your country will be possible once again.
00:43:46.720 And I promise you one more thing, to the people of Middletown, Ohio, and all the forgotten communities
00:43:53.380 in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and every corner of our nation, I promise
00:43:59.920 you this.
00:44:00.920 I will be a vice president who never forgets where he came from.
00:44:04.920 I promise you this, I will be a vice president who never forgets where he came from.
00:44:08.920 And every single day for the next four years, when I walk into that White House to help President
00:44:33.920 Trump, I will be doing it for you, for your family, for your future, and for this great
00:44:39.520 country.
00:44:40.240 Thank you.
00:44:40.840 God bless all of you.
00:44:42.100 And God bless our great country.
00:44:43.580 God bless our great country.
00:45:13.580 And I just comment about how many, like, creatures are walking around this thing that
00:45:17.480 They have tentacles and claws.
00:45:20.320 Oh, I could tell stories about some of these people.
00:45:21.900 No, I mean, just, I mean, just, by the way, we have all week, and all of a sudden I'm like,
00:45:25.540 I hate you.
00:45:26.560 And I've been, like, really behaved.
00:45:28.580 But Jonah Goldberg called me an anti-Semite on CNN tonight.
00:45:32.640 Unbelievable.
00:45:32.960 Of all the things to call Charlie Kirk.
00:45:35.460 Pro-Israel.
00:45:36.220 There's plenty of things to call Charlie Kirk.
00:45:38.020 I am mostly accused as being.
00:45:38.720 I call Charlie Kirk half of them.
00:45:40.560 I am too pro-Israel.
00:45:43.000 He is literally one of, like, five people who have been harassed in public for being
00:45:47.560 too pro-Israel.
00:45:48.640 And CNN did a five-minute thing about how I'm anti-Semite.
00:45:52.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:52.860 Even including Jews, probably. 0.99
00:45:54.580 Buffalo Wings and Jonah Goldberg are my two.
00:45:56.640 If I see Jonah Goldberg, I'm going to confirm.
00:45:58.140 And it's sort of like, compare this, I was thinking about this earlier today, and I was just like,
00:46:04.160 what is so, and I'm having a great time, it's a great convention, et cetera, but there's
00:46:09.540 something that just felt a little bit off in the back of my head, like, as I'm walking
00:46:12.840 around, and I realize what it is.
00:46:14.020 It's like, this isn't a Turning Point event.
00:46:16.980 And, you know, Turning Point events, there's so, no, no, no, it's like, there's a vibe,
00:46:22.620 it's vibrant, it's looking at the future, and it's like all of the things that, you know,
00:46:28.520 that people are trying to say here, but Turning Point just does it.
00:46:32.300 It just is the future, as opposed to being like, we're the future.
00:46:36.600 But I do have to say, though, Charlie, your choice of the all-seeing eye and the giant
00:46:41.480 pyramid behind you on stage was just, was absolutely masterful.
00:46:46.580 Hold on, you want more text messages?
00:46:49.840 This is a good one.
00:46:52.840 Let me see this here.
00:46:53.860 Sorry, because we were here just blowing you up, man.
00:46:55.780 We were like, Charlie is going full Illuminati.
00:46:59.120 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:59.880 This is so good.
00:47:01.460 You can't do this.
00:47:03.160 Bro, WTF, is this the Illuminati that took this over?
00:47:06.080 Yes!
00:47:07.280 Period imagery.
00:47:08.440 Might consider tweaking.
00:47:10.100 Now, if this means we'll all be able to join, then I'll reconsider what I just said.
00:47:12.960 But WTF.
00:47:14.120 And literally, I sent a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene coming out of the pyramid.
00:47:18.380 Ladies and gentlemen, there was all a fight between the Freemasons and the Illuminati.
00:47:22.000 I mean, I was like, okay, come on.
00:47:23.640 Like, what, so was my face literally coming out of the...
00:47:25.680 Yeah, it was the...
00:47:26.680 No, no, no, no.
00:47:26.860 You were like the base of the pyramid.
00:47:28.400 What is Twitter saying?
00:47:29.780 Is Twitter commenting on it?
00:47:31.060 Um, Charlie, it's not great.
00:47:34.120 The imagery.
00:47:35.080 The speech was fine.
00:47:35.940 I tried to tell people...
00:47:37.660 Anyway, I thought the speech delivery was what I could control.
00:47:40.760 Hey, guys, it's great.
00:47:41.180 And I have the receipts.
00:47:42.780 I have the receipts.
00:47:43.920 It's like, hey, guys, how about, I don't know, Old Glory, the red, white, and blue.
00:47:48.380 And they start spanking better. 0.99
00:47:50.400 Anyway.
00:47:50.760 You know, look at what we do this year.
00:47:52.120 I want to say, all kidding aside, I'm very touched to the convention that they had me
00:47:55.940 in a primetime slot.
00:47:56.980 They didn't have to do that.
00:47:57.900 They gave me, like, a lot of time, more than most people's.
00:48:00.380 That was very touching.
00:48:01.080 I was on the floor, and...
00:48:02.640 Good energy?
00:48:03.240 You got the most applause out of just about anybody.
00:48:06.580 So I think it was you and the governor from Virginia.
00:48:11.500 Youngkin? 0.99
00:48:11.860 Youngkin did great.
00:48:13.280 Byron got some, too.
00:48:14.380 Byron did well.
00:48:15.180 Yeah, but Byron did the slow walkout.
00:48:17.500 He does the Byron thing where he goes, you know...
00:48:19.100 Oh, that was very slow.
00:48:20.140 It builds the applause line.
00:48:22.020 Yeah, it's very...
00:48:23.040 All right, you can't do that like Byron.
00:48:24.960 I'm hungry.
00:48:25.780 Members.CharlieKirk.com.
00:48:27.240 Check it out.
00:48:27.860 Check out Unhumans.
00:48:29.160 Jack, your book's doing amazing.
00:48:30.660 Unhumans is doing great.
00:48:32.720 Racing up the charts.
00:48:33.620 By the way, something that I, for my own personal reasons, up until today, didn't actually
00:48:40.260 want to make a huge deal out of.
00:48:42.000 But one of the blurbs that we got on the back is actually J.D. Vance.
00:48:45.260 Wow, that's a big deal.
00:48:46.260 And there you go.
00:48:46.820 One of the things that...
00:48:48.240 And I, you know, I kind of knew this was in the works.
00:48:50.640 And, you know, there were a few names that I was thinking about.
00:48:53.140 You know, when you're getting blurbs on a book, you reach out to a few folks that you
00:48:56.280 know.
00:48:56.760 And I was like, I don't want to, you know, use like a personal relationship or something
00:49:00.120 to, you know, ask for that.
00:49:01.760 But some of the guys said, no, but he really speaks to this stuff.
00:49:04.960 And I said, well, there's no way that he would do it because, you know, he's under consideration.
00:49:08.600 We reached out.
00:49:09.060 They said yes right away.
00:49:09.860 That is Illuminati stuff, though.
00:49:12.240 Full on Illuminati.
00:49:12.760 Well, then, yeah, I had to do the, perform this like ritual with like the, you know, there
00:49:17.340 were a lot of trees.
00:49:18.400 I don't know.
00:49:18.900 It's so cool.
00:49:19.760 That's cool.
00:49:20.140 I know that's cool.
00:49:21.360 I know.
00:49:22.060 I know.
00:49:22.560 Yeah.
