00:00:28.000Sorry, high school or college chapter today at tpusa.com.
00:00:33.000Come to our turning point action conference at tpaction.com, where we have JD Vance, Josh Hawley, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Megan Kelly, Steve Bannon, Dan Bongino, tpaction.com.
00:01:04.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:13.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:24.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:34.000There was a very viral Twitter thread done by someone I've known for quite a long time, very smart person, Will Scharf, about Donald Trump's indictment.
00:01:44.000He's making arguments that nobody else is making.
00:01:48.000It's by Will Scharf, who's also running for Attorney General of Missouri.
00:01:52.000And it's six reasons DOJ's Get Trump Documents case is seriously flawed.
00:01:58.000I had many people send me this Twitter thread.
00:02:01.000It significantly challenged the Uniparty zeitgeist written by someone who knows what he's talking about.
00:02:21.000So I think it's really important to note: DOJ wants, the special counsel's office wants you to think that this case is very simple.
00:02:31.000They want you to think that because documents with classified markings were found at Mar-a-Lago, that means President Trump is going to end up going to prison.
00:03:07.000What documents did he designate as personal records versus presidential records under the Presidential Records Act?
00:03:15.000The Special Counsel's Office has a very, very difficult task ahead of it in terms of proving President Trump's willfulness in the knowledge of in the language of the statute.
00:03:26.000Yeah, and there's another angle here that you say, the timing.
00:03:33.000So, you know, it's been long-standing Department of Justice policy that you don't bring an indictment or commit any overt investigative act during the pendency of an election in the days running up to an election.
00:03:47.000And the reason for that is that no prosecutorial decision should ever seem to be politically motivated or based on political timing.
00:03:56.000What the special counsel's office has done here is indicted the president, President Trump, the key opponent of ultimately the special counsel's boss, Joe Biden.
00:04:08.000He's indicted him during this presidential campaign.
00:04:13.000Why didn't they wait till after the election?
00:04:16.000There's no statute of limitations issue.
00:04:18.000There's no reason why they couldn't have announced the results of their investigation and then waited for the election to be over.
00:04:25.000It certainly seems to me and a lot of others like that the political timing was the reason here, that that's why they brought this when they did.
00:04:36.000That's not how these sorts of things are supposed to work.
00:04:39.000You couple that with Jack Smith's history, some of his previous prosecutions that have been challenged or overturned, like the prosecution of Republican Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, which the Supreme Court overturned unanimously.
00:04:54.000That was one of Jack Smith's top hits before this.
00:04:57.000This whole thing, to me, just reeks of politics.
00:05:00.000And in this country, under the rule of law, no prosecution should be a political prosecution the way that we're seeing here.
00:05:16.000I want to talk about Project 65, but you mentioned an important thing, intent, right?
00:05:21.000They're going to have to prove intent, which Operation Mockingbird's CIA Morning Joe, they're already trying to say that the intent was Donald Trump trying to potentially sell these documents.
00:05:33.000I have the most simple, honest, and truthful explanation as to why Donald Trump kept these documents.

00:07:11.000Former White House aides tell the New York Times Trump was unusually attached to those boxes and their contents throughout his presidency and after leaving office.
00:07:23.000Are you saying he was unusually attached?
00:07:27.000Unusually attached to the boxes and their contents.
00:07:30.000So many people get unusually attached to other human beings.
00:07:46.000Anyone who spent time around Donald Trump in his Trump Tower office in Mar-a-Lago or the White House knows that Donald Trump loves memorabilia.
00:09:04.000Well, it's even more important in the context of the Presidential Records Act, Charlie, because under the Presidential Records Act, the president has the right to define what are his personal records, which are the kind of memorabilia you're talking about, diaries, journals, all that sort of stuff.
00:09:20.000And he has the right to maintain possession of that.
00:09:47.000It's the interplay between the statute he's charged under, the Espionage Act, and the Presidential Records Act.
00:09:53.000If he was just keeping items of personal significance to him, arguably he had the right to maintain possession of those items.
00:10:01.000And the special counsel is going to have a tough hill to climb to prove otherwise.
00:10:06.000And that's really that's a key legal distinction that they're eliding over.
00:10:11.000You've spent time around President Trump a lot more time around him than I have, but anyone who's been around him, anyone who's been in his offices or around even people who work for him knows that he likes to keep memorabilia.
00:10:23.000He likes to keep stuff of personal importance to him.
00:10:27.000And I think that's what these boxes were.
00:10:29.000He just packaged up his stuff and he moved back to Mar-a-Lago and he took his stuff with him.
00:10:50.000So, for example, you know, when I visited him in the Oval Office a couple of times, he'd be like, oh, let me show you some of this.
00:10:55.000And there's like a whole room full of stuff, right?
00:10:58.000Like a sword that the king of Saudi Arabia gave him and like a flag that like the Sultan of Brunei gave him and like something from the Vatican.
00:11:07.000It's just everybody is wired differently.
00:11:10.000And not to mention, he also probably wanted it for his presidential library, of which other presidents wanted it.
00:11:15.000And so he had the Presidential Records Act in there, but this whole narrative we have to push back aggressively, which is, oh, he wants, I mean, Michael Cohen, yeah, he wanted it so he could sell it to the Iranians or to the Saudis.
00:11:36.000We have a picture of him in his office.
00:11:37.000It is, as far as the eye can see, pictures and firearms that were given to him and selfies and photographs and humanitarian awards and books and bumper stickers and copies of the Financial Times.
00:12:11.000But you have to simultaneously do the other thing.
00:12:14.000I believe you actually have an obligation, which is to support women in need and babies in need that are at risk of being aborted.
00:12:22.000Look, when you introduce a girl to her baby by providing an ultrasound, you're giving her the truth at the most critical and important time in her life.
00:12:30.00085% of the time when they actually see the baby, they choose life.
00:12:36.000Now, mind you, pre-born provides resources.
00:12:42.000And I encourage you, if you're pro-life, to pray about this, are you giving money to actually support the unborn if you are voting for pro-life?
00:12:48.000Look, $140 gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
00:12:52.000$280 can save 10 babies, and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
00:12:57.000I'm a donor to this organization, and you should be too.
00:13:00.000A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives for years to come.
00:13:05.000Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, this opportunity is just a phone call or click away.
00:13:11.000I think the world of pre-born, I give money financially.
00:13:14.000And every one of you that are pro-life, I believe you have a duty and an obligation to go to preborn.org slash Kirk and give as you can, give your best gift, or call 833-850-2229.
00:13:39.000We will be joined by Senator Marco Rubio, who has a very interesting new book, which I think is important and very interesting, which is Decades of Decadence.
00:13:51.000And it fits perfectly to kind of this new era that we're in where finally we're allowed to push back on neoliberalism.
00:14:00.000Finally, we're able to say, you know, maybe it's not a good thing that we shut down all of our factories and that we have manufacturing jobs going overseas.
00:14:10.000I mean, trade can make a nation wealthier, but is all trade the same?
00:14:14.000Should all trade be without tariffs or some consideration for whether or not you're ruining your domestic industrial base when you don't even make vitamin C or critical pharmaceuticals in our own country?
00:14:28.000Senator Rubio writes in his book, the assumption was perfectly summarized by Clinton when he said, quote, by joining the WTO, China is not simply agreeing to import more of our products, it is agreeing to import one of our democracy's most cherished values, economic freedom.
00:14:43.000The results were predictable, Senator Rubio writes.
00:14:46.000Instead of importing economic freedom, as Clinton predicted, what we exported was our industrial strength.
00:15:06.000For example, in small towns in the American Midwest that once supplied the world with steel, textiles, and tools and furniture industry on the Upper South, many of those towns saw sharp declines in population in the early years of the 21st century.
00:16:06.000They say they offer professional services to corporations, government, other organizations.
00:16:10.000But McKinsey really became one of, but the leading driving force to shut down factories and to save pennies on a dollar to go make socks, go make a sweatshirt.
00:16:24.000And McKinsey would come into a company and say, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:16:29.000Instead of doing it in Youngston, Ohio, instead of doing it in Marshallton, Iowa, instead of doing it in Fayetteville, Arkansas, instead of doing it in Missoula, Montana, just close down that factory, send it to Wuhan, China.
00:16:44.000We'll arrange the arrival of your product from China to America.
00:16:50.000Yeah, you got to sign some documents that basically says the Chinese Communist Party is able to intellectually steal all of your property, but it's worth it because you can now make a trinket, socks, underwear, textiles, phone, television for, let's just say, a sock.
00:17:09.000You now can make it for three cents instead of six cents.
00:17:13.000And you don't have to pay those pesky unions anymore.
00:17:15.000And McKinsey was the one that drove this.
00:17:41.000Well, basically, the argument is at the end of the Cold War, our elites and both parties decided that the world was not going to need countries anymore.
00:17:48.000So we didn't have to act in the national interest.
00:17:50.000It didn't matter where the jobs were, where the factories were.
00:17:53.000That all the institutions that have worked for 5,500 years, things like parenting, family, community, none of these things mattered.
00:17:59.000We would all be consumers and investors in the global economy.
00:18:04.000And by the way, America wasn't worth saving anyway because it was evil and grotesque and systemically racist.
00:18:10.000And they've carried out a 30-year attack.
00:18:12.000We got away with it for a while because we were the only power in the world and we thought we could do whatever we wanted.
00:18:16.000And now we're paying the price for it at every level.
00:18:18.000Now we've had basically this virus of lunacy that they call social justice leave the lab of faculty clubs and is now spreading to every institution in society.
00:18:30.000I mean, after 30 years of inculcating this, people with the graduate degrees and all the advanced degrees, these are now the CEOs and the senior executives in the media in corporate America, the senior bureaucracy in government.
00:18:44.000We've got hollowed out towns across this country where people were left behind and told to go learn how to code.
00:18:49.000And so, you know, now we have families falling apart, communities falling apart, all the institutions that we used to share in common and hold us together.
00:18:58.000And now we've got a war on family itself because we basically have an educational system that is obsessed with telling kids, don't listen to your parents, don't listen to what they teach you or tell you.
00:19:08.000In fact, don't even tell them some stuff about yourself.
00:19:53.000We're the only major country that doesn't act on our own self-interest.
00:19:57.000And when we even whisper trying to have policies that benefit the homeland, we immediately have to be accused by our own people that were racist and xenophobic.
00:20:55.000And that America as a country actually wasn't all that great, that that was a myth.
00:20:59.000And that, in fact, this country is built on a tradition of terrible things.
00:21:03.000So that's what they've been telling people for a long time.
00:21:05.000So now, put that together with the fact that we also said, look, jobs need to go wherever the labor is the cheapest.
00:21:12.000Factories need to be wherever it costs the least to do.
00:21:15.000And I think generally that's the right approach in the market.
00:21:17.000The problem is that sometimes the best market outcome is bad for America.
00:21:20.000Okay, it's cheaper to make medicine in China, but it doesn't mean we should, it's not good for America to depend on China for our medicine.
00:21:27.000And so people, but people have made money off of this.
00:21:29.000There is a group of people in this country.
00:21:33.000The NBA makes a lot of money expanding to China.
00:21:35.000And when you approach them and say, well, but that's not good for America.
00:21:38.000What you're doing is not good for America.
00:21:40.000What you're doing is not in our national interest.
00:21:41.000Well, they don't have any concept of national interest.
00:21:44.000They're inculcated in a system that argues that that's not the case.
00:21:47.000Now, you combine with that with the fact that these institutions are also populated by people that from a cultural standpoint were raised up in this whole, you know, it is possible.
00:21:58.000I guarantee you that in all these marketing departments of all these corporations, they don't know anyone who thinks it's a bad idea to do this pride stuff down your throat every day for an entire month.
00:22:09.000And they don't know anybody who disagrees because they live in communities where those who disagree have to pretend that they agree or they'll be run out as well or fired or stigmatized, they're called or racist or xenophobia.
00:23:24.000You have people that don't even live in that town going there to pressure these people and attack these people because there's no end in sight.
00:23:41.000Joe Biden doesn't even know what half this stuff is.
00:23:44.000He's for it because his party's been completely captured by these radical social justice left-wing lunatics who have no concept or belief in country or government.
00:23:54.000People ask me, you think he's going to be the candidate?
00:23:56.000I think he's their perfect candidate because he's going to do whatever they tell him or if even knows what's going on.
00:24:01.000And if something were to happen to him, they get Kamala Harris, which actually believes in all this stuff, but can never be elected on her own.
00:24:18.000There's still, I think, a pretty big disconnect between the Republican office holder.
00:24:24.000Now, I do think we've got good people coming in.
00:24:25.000You talk about Eric Schmidt, who's got elected, and you talk about JD Vance, and you talk about Josh Hawley.
00:24:33.000And obviously, people are very solid on a lot of issues, like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.
00:24:36.000So I do think that as the years go on, we're going to get more and more people in the Senate that sort of view this thing a little bit differently.
00:24:58.000And when you figure out why, it forces you to re-examine a lot of the ways you view these things and understand that we've got to provide answers to people.
00:25:05.000I actually think there's a realignment happening in American politics today that's fascinating.
00:25:09.000And that is people that work for a living, who care about common sense and tradition and our culture as Americans, irrespective of what differences of opinion they might have on some other issues, are going to increasingly band together.
00:25:21.000And we need to give them options on the political front.
00:25:24.000I personally used to be blindly neoliberal.
00:25:26.000And then I woke up and realized the country's becoming poorer and the Chinese are taking over the world.
00:25:33.000Senator, tonight there is a lot of drama around the Los Angeles Dodgers who are celebrating by all public reports, it seems, this hate group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
00:27:16.000This is a group that LGBT groups have turned away from because they openly mock Catholicism and Christianity, doing some of the grotesque things that was described in that talk.
00:27:25.000Not to mention things like using a condom in place of the Eucharist to mock the Catholic mass.
00:27:30.000In essence, these guys wouldn't have the guts to do that against Islam, which has identical teachings in many ways to Christianity.
00:27:37.000They wouldn't do it to Orthodox Judaism, but they do it to Christianity in particular to Catholicism because they think they can get away with it.
00:28:16.000They wouldn't even respond to us, much less reject it.
00:28:18.000So look, they don't want to talk about it.
00:28:19.000It's indefensible, you know, and they actually disinvited them after I wrote the Dodgers, and then they changed their mind under withering pressure and brought them back.
00:28:27.000But the broader point is it is no longer enough to just have differences.
00:28:30.000It's no longer an appeal to tolerance.
00:28:33.000Like we tolerate them, they tolerate us, differences of opinion, we move on.
00:28:37.000It is the outright celebration of hatred and bigotry against Catholicism in specific, but Christianity in general.
00:28:47.000But in a hateful way, and not only are we going to tolerate that, we're going to celebrate it.
00:28:51.000A major league baseball franchise, one of the largest cities in America, is openly celebrating it under withering pressure from the far left and the like.
00:28:59.000And that's what we tried to do, and they wouldn't let us do it.
00:29:49.000Yeah, look, ultimately, Christianity actually flourishes when it's oppressed.
00:29:53.000You know, and when it gets comfortable, it actually doesn't grow.
00:29:55.000And that's why Christianity, you know, some people would argue there are more.
00:29:59.000If you look at 100 million underground Christians in China, there's probably more Christians practicing vibrant Christians in China right now than there are in America.
00:30:25.000And they openly mock, smear, and slander.
00:30:28.000And Senator, I want to thank you for your willingness and courage on this.
00:30:31.000It seems as if most Republicans are afraid to engage on this during our new quote-unquote pride month, and you deserve to be really commended for that.
00:30:40.000Senator, thank you so much for your time.
