00:18:29.940I'm from Jacksonville, Florida, and my question is related to immigration.
00:18:35.160There's been a lot of talk about it, such as the Hart-Celler Act from 1965 and just a lot of discussion over it.
00:18:42.900Trump had even said he believes that we should bring more Scandinavians in.
00:18:47.100As someone who does actually have family from Sweden, my uncle, who's an American but has lived in Sweden for 20 years and has a family, is actually visiting.
00:18:53.960And the thing that gets me is that Europe today is, let's just say, not culturally or politically really similar to America.
00:19:07.420And Europeans, like, culturally are very different.
00:19:10.800Just as an example, like, a poll had showed that, like, 90% of Scandinavians oppose Donald Trump and think Kamala Harris would have been a better president.
00:19:19.060How do we go about immigration reform to ensure that we bring in immigrants that will actually benefit the country and will keep the country America first and culturally conservative long term, even in places that might be aesthetically nice, such as Sweden and Denmark and these other places, but culturally are like to the left of Vermont?
00:19:41.120Yeah, no, that's a great question, because there's a lot of foreign countries that are hostile to America.
00:19:45.660We don't have a serious vetting system in our country.
00:19:49.620And so I think the real answer is, what's the best way to do?
00:19:52.680Shut down immigration until we can figure out what the hell is going on at our borders.
00:19:59.580We have so many migrants in this country.
00:20:02.940We have tens of millions that are here that came in under Biden that were not vetted at all.
00:20:07.400Some of them, by the way, who came out of Kabul that walk up to our soldiers
00:20:11.060and shoot them in the head right outside of the White House.
00:20:14.780You got this guy at Brown University who was on a green card and apparently just went on a killing spree to settle an old grudge, it seems like.
00:20:22.640Or, I mean, we don't really know exactly what happened there, but it's clearly something that's causing a major problem in our country.
00:20:30.320And we have way too many people that should not be here, period.
00:20:34.900And what, 18, the Somalis in Minnesota, you guys heard this, the Somalis in Minnesota, they came up with a number.
00:20:42.100I believe the U.S. Attorney just put it out yesterday.
00:21:12.100i mean i'm literally doing the math on my phone here because that's what i do because i'm a crazy
00:21:19.520person ladies and gentlemen blake neff uses a calculator just so you know yeah what so don't
00:21:25.020feel bad so 18 billion divided by about 80 000 is how many of there are that's 225 000 per person
00:21:32.040225 000 per person of the somalians in minnesota and look folks when you here's what happens when
00:21:39.680you come from a culture that doesn't see anything wrong with scamming with stealing with lying they
00:21:46.420will go to the government and claim that all of their children have autism and then take every
00:21:51.200single dollar that's meant for actual special needs kids and they will pocket it and will not
00:21:57.040feel bad about it at all they will congratulate each other on how smart they were to bilk the
00:22:02.360u.s system and use our good nature against us and every single one of them who did that should be
00:22:08.560arrested and deported immediately or they'll fake marry their brother so they can get a nicer
00:22:14.840apartment some of them even marry their own brothers to sneak into the country i don't know
00:22:19.940if anyone's ever heard of any name some of them would even do that and then run for congress
00:22:25.200run for congress speeches in a non-english language about dedicating their congressional
00:22:30.800career to the well-being of a country that is not america gosh i i just i can't just hypothetically
00:22:36.760Hypothetically, hypothetically. Folks, the system's completely out of control, and we, I don't want to talk, the only immigration reform that we need to have is reforming the direction of the immigration from in to out.
00:24:30.380where can those friends fit into this organization and where where do they
00:24:39.680find their part here and I also have a question about like the separation of
00:24:44.880church and state like I understand that this is like a private entity but it's
00:24:50.360also very political and although I agree with it and it's my home you know where
00:24:57.380do you draw the line and especially for the people that aren't of the christian faith tyler you want
00:25:03.200to take the first part yeah i'll say this at turning point what's a wonderful thing is that
00:25:07.880you can be pro a lot of things and not have to like rip each other's heads off about disagreements
00:25:15.400all the time the vast majority of people i think this has been demonstrated and discussed a lot
00:25:20.620And Charlie said this all the time, is that, you know, America was founded as a Christian nation, that we have Christian principles that enable this country to operate in a way that is accepting and loving of other people who don't necessarily always agree with our faith or what we stand for.
00:25:41.700but the moment you start to walk away from that is the moment that things start to fall apart and
00:25:46.920people start marrying their brothers to get citizenship and then you you have them run for
00:25:50.660you see what i'm saying so we just went we just covered that pretty quickly so you have a situation
00:25:55.700in america where you can be pro your christian beliefs and faith and not have to run away from
00:26:02.040that and that's the america that was that was founded that was understood that we that the
00:26:08.300founders really had intended and not have to be at the throats of other people who disagree,
00:26:13.300but lead by example and build a community that's going to be welcoming for everyone.
00:26:17.420And I think that's what we've got here is a really welcoming community where I think everybody,
00:26:21.440no matter what your faith, religious background, you come in and hopefully you're having a great
00:26:25.080time here at AmericaFest. And I think that that's what, that's the environment you can create that
00:26:30.320really kind of allows for the original intent that the founders had to continue. The opposite
00:26:40.780of that, I would say, is that you can look at some examples that really aren't working, and
00:26:45.640Europe's a really good example of this, where there's so much bending the knee to other people's
00:26:51.180cultures and other people's ideas that what's happened is that you don't have any identity
00:26:55.940any longer. And violence ensues and anger and animosity ensue. And that's really a lot of what
00:27:02.820we're seeing across Europe. Well, and you look at it too, you mentioned the separation of church
00:27:06.700and state, but here's something I found that's so interesting about this. Now, obviously that's not
00:27:10.640in our constitution. That's not found in our founding documents. The first amendment, the
00:27:14.980protection of religion enshrined in the first amendment was for the protection of the exercise
00:27:20.120of religion so that the government couldn't stop you from exercising your religion and that we
00:27:25.240would not have a Church of America the way that the Church of England had the Church of England,
00:27:29.240which is now the Anglican Church or the Episcopalian Church in America. However,
00:27:32.920I would posit that after the 1960s and the counter-cultural revolution took place in
00:27:40.480America, the sexual revolution, the atheist revolution, progressivism took hold, isn't it
00:27:45.480interesting that there's only one religion that we're told is not allowed in the public square?
00:27:51.000We are told that the only religion that isn't allowed is the religion of Jesus Christ, the Ten Commandments, displays of the cross, nativity scenes in public, every other religion.
00:28:02.360If it was Islam, they would say, oh, no, no, no, that's intolerance.
00:28:05.720But if it's Christianity, they say, get rid of it, get it out of the public square.
00:30:15.260So as a Navy veteran, I'll talk about the USS Liberty.
00:30:18.400And obviously, it's something that we, as Navy veterans, as anyone who serves in the Navy, you learn about, you study, and you realize that we live in a serious world.
00:30:28.320And it's something that a lot of people in the Navy feel that we never really got full accountability for.
00:30:34.240I still have a lot of questions about the Navy investigation that was done and the official statements that came out.
00:30:39.720A lot of people said, you know, it just doesn't feel like it's good enough when you have a naval ship flying the U.S. flag that's being attacked by a country that you are nominally supposed to believe is an ally.
00:30:51.800But one interesting piece on this that I've also heard from Roger Stone goes like this.
00:30:57.720So if you look at it, Blake, when was the Gulf of Tonkin?
00:31:01.700around i think it was 63 64 yeah 63 64 was gulf of tonkin then you have um uss liberty which comes
00:31:09.880in 67 and so the gulf of tonkin incident was a situation where the president at the time lbj
00:31:16.900used this sort of like fake hoax to get the united states involved in the war of vietnam by claiming
00:31:23.220a ship had been attacked roger stone says that he's got evidence that it was lbj was trying to
00:31:29.540do the exact same thing with the USS Liberty to try to get the U.S. involved in that war as well
00:31:35.500to turn around and claim that it wasn't Israel that attacked but that it was Egypt that attacked
00:31:39.700so I think that's an interesting that's an interesting case study and it's something that
00:31:43.020I'd certainly like to look in a lot more myself you mentioned Erica and the kids um you know I
00:31:48.180I talk to Erica pretty regularly and she's she's so strong she's so incredibly strong and I don't
00:31:55.340think I don't think this AmFest would have happened without Erica I don't think it would
00:31:59.220happen without her strength and her being there as that central cornerstone new cornerstone for
00:32:05.560the organization the one that Charlie chose himself I don't know Mikey if you want to speak
00:32:09.540on that yeah I mean I was talking with Justin from our team at Turning Point USA the other day
00:32:15.920and we were both like we're so exhausted it's it's been crazy and then we were like how is Erica
00:32:23.140still doing this and it's it's honestly amazing what she's able to pull off guys this event this
00:32:31.320coalition the glue that charlie was erica has fulfilled that the absence that charlie left
00:32:38.560behind all while doing a million things being attacked on social media whatever it is she is
00:32:45.540like literally anti-fragile like she is the you attack her and she gets stronger and it's it's
00:32:51.480beautiful. She's a representation of what young women and women in general should just strive to
00:32:58.460be. And to the USS Liberty thing, I'll just say this as a young person, okay? I wish more people
00:33:06.680in the conservative movement just wouldn't lie about what happened that day. I think it was a
00:33:13.200US ship. They were flying a US flag. There was markings all over. Israel knew it was the US
00:33:20.800and they still attacked. And you can say that and still be pro-Israel, but you can say a lot of time
00:33:26.980has passed. Reparations are paid, but why do we have to lie about it as a movement? Just tell the
00:33:32.300truth. It's simple. So like I said, guys, any question? Was that good? Thank you very much.
00:34:09.340See, look, look, all right, I'm going to step on because this is my thought crime tangent, all right?
00:34:15.080So people say, should the conservative parts of blue states break off, like California's got conservative parts, Oregon, Washington, like Western Maryland, should they break off and join red states?
00:34:26.320I say no, don't join red states, form your own states, because then you get, for every single state, you get a governor and two red senators added to the United States Senate.
00:34:39.340two more two more yeah so we should so we need a new state between eastern oregon eastern
00:34:47.960washington can create a form a new state state of jefferson right there yeah you'd be down for
00:34:54.780that right anyone here from oregon new york yeah northern california northern california we could
00:35:01.360turn that thing into jefferson it'll be so cool i don't think you guys are going to like what
00:35:04.320happens if Trump learns about the fact that the annexation treaty with Texas
00:35:08.560includes the right for it to divide itself into five additional states
00:35:11.940without any approval from Congress? No, Texas isn't allowed to.
00:35:17.160Anyway, my question for you today. First of all, I just wanted to make a comment.
00:35:22.260Charlie obviously picked all of you for a reason. You formed amazing friendships,
00:35:27.500business relationships and you're all godly men with families and this is what
00:35:34.280needs to go forward you have made being masculine really important and for our
00:35:40.400boys that is that's what makes society what it should be my question first of
00:35:47.480all I am a Republican women's president of an organization of over 100 part of
00:36:21.480this is piggybacking on the commentary that was just made a lot of a lot of us recognize that
00:36:27.540charlie kirk came and he brought the young men into the fold right erica kirk is here to bring
00:36:33.420the young women over over the outside and and this is this is important because we love we love our
00:36:40.000women at the national federation for republican women you do incredible work but what we've
00:36:45.240noticed at turning point is when you start to change the dialogue with young people it impacts
00:36:50.720upwards so and this happens a lot like I see myself now I've got a teenager and when he's
00:36:57.160doing stuff I start going oh that's cool now I guess I have to change what I listen to what I
00:37:03.080how I talk and things like that Tyler's obsessed with being cool you start to you start to follow
00:37:08.280what younger people do kind of abnormally because it's trendy and it's cool and that's what we see
00:37:13.040on TV and that's what's interesting and in media the conservative movement has struggled for many
00:37:19.220many years prior to Turning Point coming around because there just wasn't as much of a youth
00:37:24.420focus. What I love about this is we've got people of all ages that are here, but like this is a cool
00:37:30.640party where people are feeling like the conservative movement's alive and well and maybe a little bit
00:37:35.760cooler than it was 10 years ago. And that's really important for young men, but that's also really,
00:37:41.680really critical for young women that feel sometimes excluded in the conservative movement because
00:37:46.380things just don't feel cool and when you look at erica kirk she's a great example of everything
00:37:51.720that's cool being a mom you know standing up and and being bold still on conservative principles
00:37:57.240you know being able to wear a dress not having to walk around in a pantsuit like the left does
00:38:01.800that's no hate on pantsuits if you're wearing one you know don't start
00:38:06.220yeah erica wore a pantsuit it was a glittery pantsuit it was a lot it was a very glittery
00:38:14.660fancy no but to tyler's point for the first time in america fest history there are more women at
00:38:22.480this event than men do you know that ladies and that's not that's nothing that men that's just
00:38:29.260saying the erica kirk effect is real and young women and women in general are listening to the
00:38:35.540no because every conservative event has always been like there's like it's it's a really bad
00:38:40.320ratio for girls and they don't show up now there's actually more girls here than guys that's uh you
00:38:46.020know there's no reason to be single go find your go find your life partner ladies blake is eligible
00:38:52.240no it's it's true though there's there have been there have been a lot of turning point
00:38:58.800couples and turning point marriages and we're even getting to the era where we're seeing like
00:39:04.760turning point babies that have come about from those couples who's got a baby in the crowd lift
00:39:09.500it up we have any babies any kids any parents brought their kids here i see a couple a couple
00:39:13.620hands right back there there's one there there's there's oh there she is there she is hey
00:39:18.400god merry christmas on the bottom look we're raising them right folks we're raising them
00:39:24.380right charlie would have loved this charlie and charlie does love this because he's looking down
00:39:29.720he's seeing it he's seeing the baby boom he's seeing it happening that's what it's all about
00:39:33.980So you asked about young men, and I'll close on this topic with this, is that I gave a speech recently in New York City where Zora Mandami is about to become the mayor in two weeks.
00:43:47.000What was done there was a miscarriage of justice.
00:43:49.660I believe that Derek Chauvin was wrongfully convicted.
00:43:52.980And there's now, and it's not just me, there's now over 50 current and former Minneapolis police officers that have come forward and stated that that was an approved hold by the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:44:04.740They all lied because they wanted to use Derek Chauvin as a scapegoat for the fact that the officials of Minnesota,
00:44:12.980like Jacob Fry and Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General, what's his name?
00:51:10.260And it shows that that person's life had value.
00:51:13.420It shows that society believes that that person's life had value.
00:51:17.420And I personally believe that Charlie Kirk's life had value.
00:51:21.300And I also believe that there is a debt that needs to be paid, not just for Charlie, but for Erica, for the children, for every single minute and moment that was torn and stolen from them their entire lives, who are not going to be having their dad home for this Christmas or any Christmas ever again.
00:51:43.720and to Blake's point as well, when you commit a political assassination and kill someone who is
00:51:49.700in the conduct of participating in free speech and free political dialogue, the bedrock of our
00:51:56.100society, then you have attacked our society itself. And as a society, we have a governmental
00:52:02.900administrative duty to correct that cancer and tear it out. Jack, did you know this?
00:52:08.380there are millions and millions of dollars spent every year of liberal lunatic organizations
00:52:17.320trying to to eradicate the death penalty well yes i do tyler it's insane so the question you
00:52:24.240have to ask yourself why are there tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars
00:52:29.260being spent worldwide to try to promote the elimination or eradication of the death penalty
00:52:37.100The quick answer is that the left wins when they know chaos can ensue
00:52:43.980when the death penalty no longer exists.
00:52:46.620Just like what's said by Blake, just like what's up to here by Jack,
00:52:51.940if we allow the most heinous crime to occur in this country
00:52:56.720with absolutely no penalty up until death,
00:53:01.720the left wins and they will sow chaos across the state.
00:53:04.520So now you look at this and you go, and I think about this, why would anybody insert themselves to try to eliminate the possibility of the death penalty in any circumstance where you have that heinous crime?
00:53:19.640It's just a really interesting thing to look at in the future because I think this country is going to be under assault, particularly in the next few years here, where they're going to try to block that from happening.
00:53:31.220We're going to see that because that's a muscle that the left is trying to flex to sow more division and chaos across America.
00:53:39.500Yeah, and I'll just add, at the memorial, you obviously saw Erica portrayed as a forgiving saint, which is what you see in Romans 12, where God says, vengeance is mine, says the Lord.
00:53:53.320but then in Romans 13 after Erica got off stage and Trump came on stage you saw Trump playing
00:54:00.820out Romans 13 which is I will appoint ministers of justice and so it's really hard and even Charlie
00:54:08.680kind of went back and forth on it I've gone back and forth on it um takes a lot of strength to be
00:54:15.920Erica, but I mean, I'd like to see a certain person dead with the death penalty. I'll say that.
00:54:25.400But it's, you know, it's an important difference, actually. I think if you look at traditional
00:54:29.700Sharia countries, for example, they'll actually, what punishment you want is placed on the victim
00:54:36.960or the family of the victim, and they have that choice. And I think it's actually an important
00:54:41.360difference that in christian society we do not foist that burden onto the victims of an offense
00:54:48.160where you force them to have to choose between you know mercy and justice that is why we have
00:54:54.740the state wielding the power that it does we should not ask erica kirk to decide what the
00:54:59.680penalty of her husband's assassin is that is not just to her and it's not just to our society
01:00:02.620And by the way, a key part of that, a key part of that, I would add, and I'll just, I would just add is that, Tyler, what Turning Point veterans could also do, you mentioned about helping them get into schools, and obviously, and when there's issues with the schools, but also helping veterans make the transition from the military to the private sector, because we should not have a single unemployed veteran or homeless veteran in this country.
01:00:28.880and I'm sick to death of us spending so much money on illegal aliens
01:00:33.120when there are veterans who need it first.
01:03:15.720My name is Robert Albatel, and I come as the sole representative of the Turning Point chapter at the University of South Carolina.
01:03:21.740All right. All right, Gamecocks. Yeah. So a bit of context before I ask my question. My parents immigrated here legally from an Eastern European country known as Romania. And it was part of the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc. And they immigrated here for me and my sister to have a better life, right, as many people do.
01:03:49.300and so I when they were growing up they had to deal with because it was a socialist country
01:03:57.500they had you know bread lines that were only open certain hours and you had like tickets it was
01:04:05.880essentially rationed you had uh if you even had a car you would only be able to drive on certain
01:04:12.340days based on which group you had you know um my mom who watches your show every day and her sister
01:04:21.420my aunt considered cocoa powder to be like a luxury item equivalent to gold meanwhile the
01:04:28.000president nicolai ceausescu at the time who was arguably worse than joseph stalin uh was having
01:04:33.800the heaviest building in the world and the second heaviest building superseded only by buckingham
01:19:36.880First, I want to thank all the people behind me who allowed me to come up to ask this question.
01:19:41.980I am a first-generation, stateside-born Puerto Rican.
01:19:45.620I was very proud to hear the gratitude to the Latino community for getting Trump in.
01:19:52.680However, my heart grieves for the disconnect found within the black and brown Christian conservative churches and communities.
01:20:01.760As our country continues to grow with greater black and brown Christian people who do like to have big families and are very family oriented,
01:20:11.420I believe that there is a significant harvest.
01:20:14.060I was excited to find the turning point USA rise table, but from what I see, I'm wondering
01:20:20.980if there's more that can be done to reach these Christian conservative communities because
01:20:26.920there is such a political disconnect between being conservative politically and their religion
01:21:00.380You're saying there's an opportunity that you see with black and brown Christian community to reach them more, to become, to vote conservative?
01:23:45.040You don't have to be good at going to church, but encourage those men, in particular young men who have never been, who might feel weird because they've never been.
01:23:53.780They never were maybe even raised in a home where they had that opportunity to go to church.
01:23:58.300If you're a friend that has been to church and you see a friend that hasn't been, bring that guy to church.
01:24:05.580Show them, or girl, but what I'm saying, we're talking about young men.
01:24:08.900this is the moment that this is the moment in history right now where we could make
01:24:13.580massive gains and showing people hey this is the right track to building a family and get
01:24:18.740politically on you just show up we just go we do need we do need revival in the black church though
01:24:25.320honestly and and when charlie kirk passed i was attending i was a member of a 100 black
01:24:31.920conservative baptist church and when that happened all over social media we were being told if your
01:24:38.300church does not mention Charlie Kirk, leave the church. And that Sunday, I sat in the pews,
01:24:45.100very nervous. It's a long story, but the Lord made it clear, no one is going to mention Charlie
01:24:49.740Kirk, so you do it. And I walked to the front by myself, and I lifted up his name, and I asked for
01:24:56.440prayer. God bless you. The church was shocked. They were shocked, and later they silently said,
01:25:05.000thank you, thank you. But be the difference is what I'm saying. Don't run away from those tough
01:25:10.560situations. Step up because it can be done. Thank you so much for your time. You guys have a wonderful day.
01:25:23.120Next question. I think we're out of questions. That was our final question of the day.
01:27:36.040We have Mary Patola in Congress now, and that should not be the case.
01:27:39.920We have Lisa Murkowski, who is basically a Democrat.
01:27:44.220And if we have three senators, two senators that are making the difference, the turning the tide in the Senate right now, I feel like there should be way more investments and resources into Alaska and considering it more as a swing state.
01:28:01.600That way we can make sure it is red for a long time.
