00:01:18.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:56.000 It would be very tempting to take today off radio.
00:01:58.000 In fact, I think if I was off today, no one would fault me.
00:02:02.000 The great Steve Bannon texted me last night.
00:02:03.000 He said, Are you doing your show tomorrow?
00:02:05.000 I said, yes, Steve, I'm back on the chair.
00:02:06.000 It is two days like mandatory rest at Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA on Monday, Tuesday.
00:02:12.000 I said, you guys, don't go to work.
00:02:14.000 Don't open your laptop.
00:02:15.000 You guys have earned it.
00:02:16.000 But I'm in the chair.
00:02:17.000 And for a couple of reasons.
00:02:18.000 First of all, I just, I love working.
00:02:20.000 I love our relationship.
00:02:21.000 I love our connection together.
00:02:24.000 It was so great, so many of you in seeing so many of you in Detroit.
00:02:27.000 And we're going to do the full recap of Detroit.
00:02:30.000 It made international headlines from the vice presidential straw poll results to the straw poll of whether or not people support President Johnson to the straw poll on when it comes to Ukraine.
00:02:39.000 However, I first want to let you know the other reason I'm in the chair and we can't miss it is that it is book launch week for us here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:02:48.000 We worked very, very hard on this book.
00:02:50.000 Right Wing Revolution is out.
00:02:53.000 How to beat the woke and save the West.
00:02:55.000 I think it is one of the most important things I have done and we have published.
00:02:59.000 You guys can get your copy right now.
00:03:01.000 We're going to be speaking about it all hour.
00:03:03.000 You can get it at 45books.com.
00:03:05.000 That is the number 45books.com.
00:03:07.000 Let's show it up on screen, guys.
00:03:09.000 I know someone's running me a copy over here, but let's understand this: is that the woke or the race Marxists or the trans-Marxists, they seem to control everything.
00:03:21.000 One of the most common questions we get is, what can I do to help?
00:03:25.000 Right-wing revolution is our full answer to that question.
00:03:30.000 The slogan of our movement is make America great again.
00:03:32.000 And right-wing revolution digs deep into what every person can do to make that slogan a reality.
00:03:38.000 Whether that you are a newly elected lawmaker, you're a new parent, or if you're just the citizen looking to fight at right-wing revolution, we recognize that any great political transformation first requires a transformation of the self.
00:03:50.000 This isn't just a list of policies we should implement or laws we should pass, although it does have those in great detail.
00:03:56.000 This is a book that explains how you can change your very outlook on life in order to resist left-wing intellectual poisons and hold firm against their efforts to dominate and control you.
00:04:07.000 For activists, the book doesn't just explain what a future Trump administration can do once it takes power.
00:04:12.000 It explains that conservatives can be doing what they can be doing right now at state and local level to build thriving communities.
00:04:19.000 It even explains what to do if you're stuck living in a blue city in a blue state.
00:04:23.000 You see, the college scam was a huge hit because we called out the ways college has become a huge waste of time and money for millions of people and then offered a path to starting adulthood on the right path.
00:04:34.000 Right-wing revolution offers a similar path, but for life in general.
00:04:38.000 We do not just talk about politics, we explain attitudes, values, habits, and goals you should adopt to live a happy, successful life.
00:04:47.000 And also, the title of the book, Right-Wing Revolution, shows we do not give into their narrative.
00:04:53.000 You see lots of conservative books telling you how liberals are bad or what a Republican president can do to change things.
00:05:00.000 But how many of you read telling you to spend less time online?
00:05:04.000 How many tell you that you might need to lose weight and get in better shape with advice on how to do it?
00:05:08.000 How many tell you how to turn off, tell you to turn off pornography, get off dating apps, go out and meet people, and get married?
00:05:15.000 Right-wing revolution, and what I put together in this book, it's a rich collection of life advice because the true bedrock of conservatism isn't just good policies, it's good people.
00:05:26.000 Also, we have to, there's a group of reporters.
00:05:29.000 We got to send our book out to some reporters because there are some nuggets in this book that will drive the left-wing nuts.
00:05:36.000 We talk about loving the country.
00:05:38.000 In some ways, it's a patriotism 101 book.
00:05:41.000 Now, understand the core contention of the book, Right-Wing Revolution, and we talked about this in Detroit, and we're going to go through all this in play tape, is that we believe that the country has veered off course.
00:05:54.000 Do you believe that America has veered off course?
00:05:56.000 Of course you do.
00:05:57.000 So, if America has veered off course, the question is: where and how do we course correct?
00:06:04.000 The contention is actually to get us back to baseline, to get us back to what used to be considered normal.
00:06:12.000 You see, the point of right-wing revolution is to get us back into a country that has borders, strong families, a country that believes in the U.S. Constitution that resets us.
00:06:25.000 I had an interview with NBC over the week, and they said, Oh, do you want a totalitarian dictatorship?
00:06:30.000 And it's the opposite.
00:06:31.000 And we talk about this in the book, Right-Wing Revolution, which is we want a restoration of a free society.
00:06:38.000 We want a constitutional reset.
00:06:41.000 We want a country where you don't have to lock your doors at night.
00:06:44.000 We want a country where we have increasing church attendance.
00:06:48.000 We want a country where people believe in God.
00:06:50.000 We want a country where we have more children, not less children.
00:06:54.000 We want to reverse the fertility crisis in this country.
00:06:58.000 We want a country where you trust your neighbors.
00:07:01.000 We want a country where we have borders.
00:07:04.000 All those things require what is now deemed a right-wing revolution.
00:07:10.000 And many of the critics of our movement at Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA, many of the people that are opposing what we're trying to do, they are starting to lose.
00:07:21.000 You see, this book could not have come at a better time.
00:07:25.000 We are seeing the rumblings of that right-wing revolution in France.
00:07:29.000 We are seeing the rumblings of this right-wing revolution in the Netherlands.
00:07:33.000 We're seeing it in Belgium.
00:07:35.000 We're seeing it in Germany.
00:07:37.000 We're seeing it in, we saw it in Argentina.
00:07:40.000 We've seen it in El Salvador.
00:07:42.000 You see, and it's happening with our nation's youth, which is what I have been focusing on for 12 years.
00:07:50.000 You see, this right-wing revolution is a populist nationalist revolution that is giving a voice to the forgotten man and woman, giving a voice to those that no longer have a voice.
00:08:02.000 And in order for us to end up being successful, we must challenge the woke.
00:08:08.000 Now, what is the woke?
00:08:09.000 The woke are a group of people that call something unjust, racist, transphobic, et cetera, until they control it.
00:08:18.000 The woke, if you will, they are masters of the society and they are elites that do not have a trust in the everyday American.
00:08:29.000 This election can be summarized in many different ways, but here is one of them.
00:08:33.000 And I talk about this in the book, which you guys, by the way, go to 45books.com and get your copy right now, 45books.com, which is the conservative movement.
00:08:43.000 We believe that the everyday American is smarter than you give them credit for.
00:08:49.000 And that our rulers and the elites and our experts are less impressive than we give them.
00:08:54.000 So that less impressive than we describe publicly.
00:08:58.000 The bad guys, the oligarchs, the Joe Biden group, they believe that the experts are smarter than we even mention.
00:09:06.000 And that the everyday rank and file citizen is dumber and is less enlightened than the experts.
00:09:15.000 We believe the wisdom is in the people.
00:09:18.000 And it requires a restoration of the self, a restoration of the citizenry, that we, the people, are sovereign in this country.
00:09:27.000 It is not we, the oligarchs, or we, the plutocrats.
00:09:31.000 And what I saw in Detroit this weekend, and by the way, the straw poll results we're going to share, is I saw the exact same themes of this book, Right Wing Revolution at Play, where I saw everyday Americans that traveled from across the country, but also all across Michigan, and they want their country back.
00:09:49.000 And they're willing to apply action and use their agency.
00:09:53.000 This was the founders and framers' intention.
00:09:56.000 It is not just Donald Trump on the ballot.
00:09:58.000 The Constitution is on the ballot.
00:10:00.000 The civilization is on the ballot.
00:10:03.000 The core fundamental ideals that we treasure and that we care so deeply about is on the ballot itself.
00:10:12.000 And it's going to require a movement like we saw in Detroit, a picture, blacks, Hispanics, young people, and we are ascendant in every single one of those groups.
00:10:21.000 So get your copy right now.
00:10:23.000 It's 45books.com.
00:10:24.000 It is book launch week.
00:10:26.000 And now we're going to go into Detroit and talk about these themes.
00:10:29.000 And understand, wokeism is a mental disease that thinks it is the cure.
00:10:38.000 And I tell you how we can defeat them, beat them, and give you applicable life advice that has worked in my life and allows me to keep on growing thanks to the grace of God.
00:10:49.000 So check it out, right-wingrevolution, 45books.com.
00:10:52.000 That is 45books.com.
00:10:56.000 Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?
00:10:58.000 I was right where you are two years ago.
00:10:58.000 I understand.
00:11:00.000 Let me tell you why I chose the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition Program.
00:11:04.000 First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:11:07.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:11:10.000 Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition.
00:11:12.000 There is so much more.
00:11:13.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.
00:11:19.000 There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.
00:11:23.000 And finally, probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
00:11:26.000 Look, they're amazing.
00:11:27.000 If you want to lose weight, you've got to go to myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:30.000 I was just texting with Dr. Ashley Lucas today.
00:11:32.000 If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.
00:11:36.000 Go online at myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:38.000 Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and called today, 864-644-1900.
00:11:44.000 I recommend their program.
00:11:45.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:11:49.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:11:52.000 Second, the PhD program starts nutrition, but it's so much more.
00:11:55.000 Go to myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:59.000 Galate64644-1900.
00:12:02.000 I lost over 30 pounds.
00:12:03.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American.
00:12:04.000 Check it out.
00:12:05.000 Myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:09.000 I just talked to the publisher.
00:12:10.000 The orders are flowing in at 45books.com.
00:12:12.000 So get your tickets, 45books.com.
00:12:15.000 Okay, let's summarize this last weekend in Detroit.
00:12:18.000 First of all, thank you for those of you that made the trip.
00:12:20.000 It's just so great to see so many of you.
00:12:22.000 And I apologize.
00:12:24.000 I am triple booked at all times.
00:12:25.000 And so I don't mean to be rude when I'm walking through the convention hall and I say, oh, I can't take a picture.
00:12:30.000 I can't take a picture.
00:12:31.000 So I apologize if I came across as not, I don't know, just how quick I had to move to the exhibit hall.
00:12:38.000 But it happens when you do a TV show, run an event, have tons of voters.
00:12:42.000 Yeah, I didn't mean to be impolite, not as available as I would have liked.
00:12:46.000 So let's play some piece of tape here.
00:12:48.000 First, let's just kind of talk about the essence of it.
00:12:51.000 We had Ben Carson, Brandon Tatum, Don Jr., just some of the biggest speakers.
00:12:54.000 Let's go to Cut 11.
00:12:56.000 This is President Trump opening up the People's Convention.
00:13:00.000 By the way, just look at how good the shot looks.
00:13:04.000 Look at how the Turning Point team, Terrell, Brian, the whole team, Marina, they did such a great job.
00:13:10.000 And of course, Lauren deserves great credit.
00:13:12.000 And Tyler, the whole team did great.
00:13:14.000 Look at this aesthetic.
00:13:16.000 Have you ever seen anything as beautiful as this at a Trump event in recent memory?
00:13:21.000 I think it was really great what the team did.
00:13:23.000 And that's not a knock of other Trump events.
00:13:24.000 I just think we do it really well at Turning Point.
00:13:27.000 We are a stickler for aesthetics.
00:13:29.000 Look at how beautiful this looks.
00:13:30.000 Let's play Cut 11.
00:13:32.000 Hello, Turning Point, and hello, Michigan.
00:13:35.000 It's great to be back in a state I love with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots.
00:13:43.000 Thank you very much.
00:13:44.000 What a turnout this is.
00:13:46.000 This guy, Charlie Kirk.
00:13:48.000 I want to thank you all, and I want to thank Charlie Kirk for everything he's done at Turning Point Action for making this event possible.
00:13:57.000 What a great turnout.
00:13:59.000 He opened up very graciously towards Turning Point.
00:14:03.000 And I think a lot of the networks covered it and then they cut out.
00:14:07.000 Ben Carson was one of our speakers here, and he was very clear.
00:14:12.000 Again, we talk about this in my book, Right Wing Revolution.
00:14:15.000 If you are not brave, you cannot be free.
00:14:18.000 That is a very deep point.
00:14:21.000 If you are not brave, you cannot be free.
00:14:23.000 This is why Aristotle called courage the greatest of all the virtues.
00:14:27.000 If you do not have courage, you cannot have liberty.
00:14:32.000 Play cut seven.
00:14:34.000 But what has happened is that a lot of people who actually think the right way and have the right values aren't willing to stand up for them.
00:14:46.000 And the fact of the matter is, you cannot be the land of the free if you're not the home of the brave.
00:14:52.000 You've got to be able to stand up for what we believe in.
00:14:56.000 And I think that's one of the important aspects of what we were doing at Turning Point Action and why we wrote the book, Right Wing Revolution.
00:15:05.000 The book has a repetition theme, which is the whole first third of the book is how you need to change your attitude to beat the left.
00:15:14.000 And a lot of that is courage.
00:15:16.000 Don't melt down when they call you a bigot.
00:15:18.000 In some ways, you have to care less.
00:15:20.000 You have to be a sovereign person who really believes in your values, that has core beliefs.
00:15:26.000 Don't let the left tell you what to believe.
00:15:29.000 Do not operate on the Marxist terms.
00:15:33.000 In some ways, the woke's number one weapon against us is weaponized name-calling.
00:15:39.000 Do not let them define you.
00:15:42.000 Do not allow them to set the terms of engagement.
00:15:47.000 And this last weekend in Detroit was a triumph.
00:15:53.000 And it wasn't just a triumph because of the attendance or how good it looked.
00:15:56.000 Do you know that thousands, and I'll get the final number from our team.
00:15:59.000 I think it's nearly 3,000 people signed up to become ballot chasers, poll watchers, precinct committeemen, many of whom from Michigan.
00:16:08.000 Think about the force multiplying effect there.
00:16:10.000 3,000 people, let's say 3,000 people ends up impacting 50 votes each.
00:16:17.000 Whoa.
00:16:18.000 You have 3,000 people start impacting 50 votes.
00:16:21.000 You are now talking about impacting almost a percent of the upcoming election in Michigan or 2%.
00:16:30.000 You become a strong tip of the spear force multiplier.
00:16:34.000 And understand, some of those then 50 people then get 10 more.
00:16:40.000 Just yesterday, I ran into somebody.
00:16:41.000 He was registered to vote in Scottsdale.
00:16:43.000 And he said, Charlie, I listened to your show.
00:16:44.000 I listened to the program.
00:16:45.000 I bought your new book, Right Wing Revolution.
00:16:48.000 And he says, Charlie, I'm a force multiplier.
00:16:50.000 And he showed me on his phone.
00:16:51.000 It was so impressive.
00:16:53.000 He says, I keep my head down.
00:16:54.000 I work at a data company.
00:16:55.000 He said, but here are my 21 people that I've either registered a vote that I'm responsible for.
00:17:00.000 And he has it in his notes on his phone.
00:17:02.000 And he just keeps on saying, he says, these 21 people I'm responsible for getting the word out.
00:17:07.000 Let's put 36 on screen if we have a second here.
00:17:10.000 This is from RC Maxwell.
00:17:15.000 Room of force multipliers.
00:17:17.000 Look at that.
00:17:18.000 Every one of those is going to get 50 new people.
00:17:20.000 Every one of those is going to chase ballots.
00:17:22.000 That's what this event was all about.

00:18:30.000 And look what I have here: a new copy of, well, it's out today, right-wing revolution.
00:18:36.000 And there's one chapter in particular I want to highlight.
00:18:40.000 By the way, I'm very biased because I wrote it.
00:18:43.000 I have to say, there's some really good stuff here.
00:18:45.000 Chapter 13, Toppling the Education Goliath.
00:18:48.000 One of my favorite aspects here.
00:18:50.000 Chapter 10, The Federal Revolution.
00:18:54.000 That's on page 147.
00:18:55.000 But I want to talk about chapter 8.
00:18:59.000 And all this week, we're going to be highlighting different chapters.
00:19:02.000 And it ties in to what we just did in Detroit this last weekend.
00:19:06.000 Hate the game, but play by its rules.
00:19:09.000 Starting on page 117.
00:19:12.000 I read from Right Wing Revolution.
00:19:15.000 The 2022 election was a very tough one for me.
00:19:17.000 I was deeply invested in many excellent candidates we fielded that year, especially in my home state of Arizona.
00:19:22.000 Kerry Lake would have been an excellent governor.
00:19:24.000 Blake Masters, an excellent senator.
00:19:25.000 Abe Hamaday, an excellent attorney general.
00:19:28.000 I expected all of them to win.
00:19:29.000 And for Republicans that dominate all over the country, I was confident, too confident.
00:19:33.000 Even when the election had arrived and the vote total started to come in and showed our candidates trailing, I assured listeners on my show that Kerry Lake was going to be governor, guaranteed.
00:19:41.000 I stayed upbeat even the following days as the gap stubbornly refused to close.
00:19:44.000 In the end, it never did.
00:19:45.000 All of the candidates I'd fought so hard for in Arizona were not successful.
00:19:49.000 So did other promising candidates around the country.
00:19:51.000 Worst of all, in Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz lost to quasi-catatonic John Fetterman, an embarrassing vegetable, the man with zero accomplishments.
00:20:00.000 I didn't just feel upset.
00:20:01.000 I felt humiliated.
00:20:03.000 It wasn't just because I'd been so confident going into election night.
00:20:06.000 It was because I knew deep down this wasn't just a failure of messaging.
00:20:09.000 It was a failure of tactics for no reason at all.
00:20:11.000 We conservatives had taken an inferior tactical approach, and that left us with fewer votes on election night, despite running against the president with an approval rating under 40%.
00:20:20.000 We took a winning position and we squandered it.
00:20:22.000 Say, then we play to win.
00:20:24.000 Part of playing to win, I talk about in this book, and that's just a little tease here, as I'm very honest and very transparent, is that we need to embrace voting month.
00:20:35.000 Now, of course, they cheated like the Dickens.
00:20:37.000 They had massive machine tabulation failures.
00:20:40.000 We talked about that.
00:20:41.000 But we need that kind of warrior mentality.
00:20:44.000 And this weekend, we talked about it.
00:20:46.000 This is me sitting down with Laura Trump.
00:20:47.000 One of the priorities at the RNC, and by the way, she's doing a great job running the RNC.
00:20:51.000 If you cheat in an election, we'll find you, we will track you down, and we'll prosecute you.
00:20:55.000 You do that coupling with our two big to rig strategy of chasing ballots and registering voters.
00:21:00.000 It's a much better direction, play cut four.
00:21:03.000 Our top priorities at the RNC, we have two priorities: get out the vote and protect the ballot.
00:21:10.000 Charlie, let's face it.
00:21:11.000 If we don't have free, fair, and transparent elections, nothing else matters.
00:21:15.000 And that is our goal at the RNC.
00:21:17.000 And by the way, every single person in this country, regardless of how you vote, should want free and fair elections.
00:21:24.000 We are also sending a loud and clear message out there to anyone who thinks about cheating in an election.
00:21:31.000 If you cheat in an election, we will find you, we will track you down, and we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.
00:21:37.000 Track you down and prosecute you to the full extent of the law.
00:21:43.000 We spoke openly at the Turning Point Action People's Convention in Detroit about the need to chase ballots and engage in voting month, not just voting day, not just one day.
00:21:57.000 And I understand in the ideal, it's all one day, it's paper ballots.
00:22:00.000 However, in reality, everybody, why would we limit ourselves to 12 hours of voting when the other guys get 35 days of voting?
00:22:08.000 By definition, you are putting yourself at a structural disadvantage.
00:22:13.000 And so you have two simultaneous things.
00:22:15.000 You have Lara Trump and the RNC with an army of lawyers who are going after securing our elections and becoming poll watchers.
00:22:22.000 And then you have the two big to rig strategy, which is the primary emphasis and focus of Turning Point Action.
00:22:26.000 And that's why in the book we talk about hate the rules, but play the game.
00:22:31.000 You can hate them to the core.
00:22:34.000 We talk deeply about 2020 and 2022 and how it has been an inspiring moment for us at Turning Point Action.
00:22:43.000 In fact, let's put up one of the images here I sent you.
00:22:46.000 And then I want to get into the straw poll stuff because the straw poll stuff is so deep.
00:22:49.000 It is so good.
00:22:50.000 But first, the image I said right now.
00:22:52.000 So in the last 10 days, we had our Young Women's Leadership Summit, our Blexit training, chapter leadership summit, hosted President Trump in Arizona, hosted President Trump in Detroit.
00:23:00.000 It's unbelievable.
00:23:01.000 And do you know what we did or are doing today?
00:23:07.000 We have our training, our training of new ballot chasers in Wisconsin.
00:23:12.000 That's right.
00:23:13.000 Today we are onboarding more ballot chasers in Wisconsin.
00:23:17.000 Let's get this up on screen.
00:23:19.000 Full-time ballot chasers being onboarded in Wisconsin.
00:23:22.000 This is exactly the theme that we're talking about in Right Wing Revolution, 45books.com.
00:23:28.000 Let's get this picture up on screen.
00:23:30.000 Right now, this is a picture of Tyler Boyer and Brett G.
00:23:35.000 I just call him Brett G because I could never pronounce his last name, Brett G, presenting and training.
00:23:42.000 That's it right there, full-time ballot chasers.
00:23:44.000 That's the first of many waves in Arizona.
00:23:46.000 We're already upwards of many, many, I think 150, almost 175.
00:23:51.000 That's Wisconsin.
00:23:52.000 We're onboarding.
00:23:53.000 We are operational in Michigan.
00:23:55.000 And by the way, big announcement next week, there will be a new state that we're expanding our ballot chasing operation to.
00:24:00.000 I'm not going to tell you yet.
00:24:01.000 That's right there in Wisconsin.
00:24:03.000 And this is exactly in chapter eight in right-wing revolution, which we need to change our attitude.
00:24:09.000 We need to change our philosophy.
00:24:11.000 Democrats have a huge start in this regard.
00:24:13.000 And they've been doing the work.
00:24:14.000 And that's right there at our Turning Point Action headquarters in Waukesha, Wisconsin, hiring full-time people.
00:24:20.000 Okay, I want to get to our straw poll results because we must have a winner's attitude.
00:24:25.000 And I want to tell you of who won the straw poll at the Turning Point Action People's Convention.
00:24:30.000 So we obviously did a vice presidential straw poll.
00:24:34.000 And the way that we did the question was I wanted a real, I wanted to make this real.
00:24:38.000 I didn't want to make it open because I know that some of you guys left to your own choices.
00:24:42.000 You know, you have Vivek, you have Dr. Ben Carson, but according to all public and private conversations that I've had, there's really only three to four finalists, really four.
00:24:50.000 And so we decided to say, let's do a question saying, based on all public reporting of these four finalists, which ones do you prefer?
00:24:57.000 And JD Vance was the triumphant and by far the winner of the straw poll at the Turning Point Action People's Convention, a landslide victory for JD Vance.
00:25:09.000 In fact, I want to try to get to, yeah, this is it.
00:25:11.000 Let me kind of read the results to you.
00:25:13.000 43% of all attendees want JD Vance.
00:25:16.000 The next highest was Tim Scott at 15.4%.
00:25:19.000 And then Doug Bergham at 7%, Marco Rubio for 7.7%.
00:25:23.000 26% were undecided.
00:25:25.000 JD Vance won 43% of the vote.
00:25:29.000 What is your reaction to that, by the way?
00:25:31.000 Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:25:33.000 And by the way, if there's one person that really understands the elements and the ideas of what I talk about here in right-wing revolution, it's JD Vance.
00:25:42.000 JD Vance understands the need for patriotic action.
00:25:47.000 He talks about changing our attitude.
00:25:49.000 He talks about the difficulty that we as a conservative movement have, and we must stand up for America.
00:25:57.000 You see, JD Vance winning the straw poll is a serious message.
00:26:03.000 It also employs the Big Ten strategy.
00:26:07.000 And the Big Ten strategy is that we must win Western Pennsylvania or Southern Michigan.
00:26:14.000 The Big Ten strategy involves and includes that region of the world.
00:26:20.000 Being able to win the muscular class, the industrial rust belt, where it matters most.
00:26:28.000 You see, this is Vivek Ramaswamy talking at the People's Convention, Cut Five.
00:26:32.000 You want to save this country?
00:26:34.000 This is how you drain the swamp.
00:26:35.000 Shut down these agencies.
00:26:37.000 This is the attitude that is necessary.
00:26:39.000 Play cut five.
00:26:40.000 You want to save this country.
00:26:42.000 That is how you drain the swamp.
00:26:45.000 Shut down these agencies.
00:26:47.000 Go straight down the list.
00:26:49.000 U.S. Department of Education, shut it down.
00:26:54.000 ATF, shut it down.
00:26:57.000 FBI, shut it down.
00:27:00.000 You go straight down the list.
00:27:02.000 You cannot reform these agencies.
00:27:05.000 You want to get in there and Afuera, shut it down.
00:27:09.000 That's the future of this country.
00:27:12.000 Three branches of government in the United States, not four.
00:27:16.000 The managerial class.
00:27:17.000 This is a war in this country.
00:27:19.000 And I don't call this a war lightly.
00:27:22.000 Vivek is spot on there.
00:27:24.000 And JD Vance, by the way, a fellow Ohioan, sees the world the same way.
00:27:28.000 And that's why he won the straw poll.
00:27:30.000 One of our listeners says, Charlie, JD Vance's youth and charisma reminds me of JFK.
00:27:34.000 He's a perfect counterpart to Trump, steady at the wheel, and understands the MAGA agenda.
00:27:40.000 That is one of the emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:27:43.000 And understand, the straw poll that we did was of the four finalists, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Doug Bergham, Tim Scott, which do you prefer?
00:27:50.000 And JD Vance was the far away winner.
00:27:54.000 Wasn't even close.
00:27:55.000 Next, I'm going to talk to you about Mike Johnson and his approval rating, according to our attendees.
00:28:00.000 Mitch McConnell and his approval rating with our attendees.
00:28:05.000 Ukraine, should we send more money to Ukraine?
00:28:08.000 And what you want Donald Trump to do in the first 100 days.
00:28:12.000 Right-wing revolution is now out, everybody.
00:28:14.000 You can get it at 45books.com.
00:28:16.000 That is 45books.com.
00:28:17.000 We examine what is going on in the country from every angle and challenge you of how you could become a better citizen.
00:28:24.000 And if I do say so myself, I love the cover of that.
00:28:28.000 I think Winning Team Publishing did a great job.
00:28:30.000 Oh, do we have a JD Vance clip?
00:28:32.000 Let's play Cut 45.
00:28:33.000 We're not talking as much about the problems and about the solutions because Joe Biden has decided he's not going to win this election on issues, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:41.000 He can't run on lower inflation.
00:28:44.000 Even though they try to pretend that inflation's lower, we all know that it's terrible.
00:28:49.000 I mean, inflation is so bad that I heard that Hunter Biden can no longer afford crack cocaine, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:55.000 This is a terrible, terrible problem.
00:28:58.000 Hasn't gotten better.
00:28:59.000 We all feel for Hunter Biden, right?
00:29:02.000 He will be a great VP if he is selected.
00:29:07.000 Books are flying off the shelves.
00:29:09.000 You guys can get your copy right now.
00:29:11.000 45books.com.
00:29:12.000 That is 45books.com.
00:29:14.000 Okay, let's complete the straw poll results here.
00:29:18.000 So we asked the question: do you approve or disapprove of Speaker Johnson?
00:29:21.000 Speaker Johnson has a 30% approval rating.
00:29:24.000 So Speaker Johnson is less popular than Joe Biden.
00:29:28.000 I'm kidding.
00:29:29.000 That's a right-wing audience.
00:29:30.000 So it's not.
00:29:31.000 It's actually higher than I thought it was.
00:29:33.000 I thought 30% was remarkably high considering what he's done to the country.
00:29:38.000 I was really surprised.
00:29:40.000 So we said, again, it's somewhat approved and strongly approved.
00:29:43.000 So 23% said somewhat approve.
00:29:45.000 7% said strongly approve.
00:29:48.000 23% said somewhat disapprove.
00:29:50.000 And 35% said strongly disapprove.
00:29:53.000 So the base of the party wants nothing to do with Speaker Johnson.
00:29:56.000 Mitch McConnell has a 78% strongly disapproval rating and a 12% approval rating.
00:30:04.000 No, I'm sorry, a 5% approval rating.
00:30:07.000 So Mitch McConnell has a 5% approval rating at the Turning Point Action People's Convention.
00:30:12.000 That's Mitch McConnell.
00:30:13.000 5% support him.
00:30:15.000 Do you think the U.S. should continue to send American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine?
00:30:19.000 Are we showing these things?
00:30:20.000 I'm doing it.
00:30:20.000 Let's play.
00:30:21.000 Let's make sure 42 is up there.
00:30:23.000 93% of attendees say no.
00:30:27.000 No more money for Ukraine.
00:30:28.000 93%.
00:30:31.000 No more money to Ukraine.
00:30:33.000 We then asked the question: if President Trump were to win in November, which issue should be his biggest priority the first 100 days of office?
00:30:40.000 This is amazing.
00:30:41.000 Is it war in Ukraine or foreign aid?
00:30:43.000 The economy and jobs or cost of living?
00:30:45.000 83%.
00:30:49.000 83% say border and immigration, mass deportations.
00:30:56.000 83%.
00:30:59.000 By the way, shout out to Rich Barris and Big Data Poll for helping us do this poll.
00:31:03.000 So 83% of our audience believes the border is the number one issue for Donald Trump to address.
00:31:09.000 I want to close with this story here from Politico.
00:31:11.000 Politico wrote several stories about us over the weekend.
00:31:13.000 One in particular, how Turning Point, once spurned by the RNC, is becoming Trump's force multiplier in Battleground States.
00:31:20.000 Now, this was an article that published over the weekend, and the organization has become a powerful ally of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
00:31:29.000 Its long-standing partnership tying Trump to the lightning rod commentator and pugilistic founder who made headlines for all this stuff you guys know says here, the large number of boots on the ground is what Turning Point is doing in the key battleground states.
00:31:44.000 And this is precisely why I want you guys to purchase the book and why I want you to get the book, which is you need to have this philosophy and this attitude change of action, action, action.
00:31:55.000 We did not interview with this article, with this politico article.
00:31:59.000 And Greg Keller says, I don't think there's any doubt that Turning Point has really stolen a march, so to speak, on a lot of the conservative movement.
00:32:07.000 Greg Keller, who I know, nice guy, says at the end, I think Charlie was the right person at the right time who made the correct prognostication.
00:32:15.000 And when you get all those things together at once, it's like catching lightning in a bottle.
00:32:20.000 We are registering thousands of voters.
00:32:22.000 We are doing the work and chasing ballots where it matters most.
00:32:27.000 That is the work that we are doing every single day at Turning Point Action.
00:32:31.000 And Politico is taking notice.
00:32:32.000 Once spurned by the RNC, it's becoming Trump's force multiplier in Battleground States.
00:32:37.000 That is the turning point ethos.
00:32:41.000 And it ties in perfectly with right-wing revolution at 45books.com.
00:32:44.000 That's 45books.com.
00:32:46.000 We are putting my 12 years of activist experience into action.
00:32:50.000 You want to know my story?
00:32:51.000 You want to know some of the secrets and how we got here?
00:32:54.000 My daily routine, it's all in the book.
00:32:56.000 You want to know how I view the world?

00:33:02.000 By the way, if you have a wokey in your life, buy one of these copies and give it to them.
00:33:07.000 They might not like it.

00:33:18.000 How do we address it?
00:33:19.000 From specific policy recommendations.
00:33:24.000 We talk about some of the best states, some of the worst states.
00:33:26.000 We also talk about how conservatives have actually had a really good couple decades on a couple issues, and we don't always talk about that.
00:33:33.000 About how we have to reject the doom spiral.
00:33:36.000 Oh, everything's terrible.
00:33:37.000 Everything's awful.
00:33:38.000 Nothing's working.
00:33:40.000 It's 45books.com by Winning Team Publishing.
