00:00:49.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:55.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:41.000One is regarding the SCOTUS win for Trump.
00:01:44.000Sanctuary cities and states like New York, Chicago, Rochester, New York, how will they try to fight this since the highest court has already ruled in favor of Trump?
00:01:52.000And my other question has to do with the visas by the federal government.
00:01:55.000Why do schools think they have a right to declaring who gets a visa when it's technically the government?
00:02:01.000Because I'm seeing a school in my area, the University of Rochester, they're losing tons of Chinese students and they're not happy about this because of the millions that the school is losing.
00:02:08.000Well, I'm sure they're not happy about it.
00:02:20.000Many of these colleges, they have become basically – Now, the counter-argument that Blake would be somewhat sympathetic to, and I'm not dismissing it, is that this is like one of the last things we actually have that the rest of the world wants.
00:03:17.000The colleges act like they're their own city and state because they're so small, and they don't believe that they have to abide by the rules of the local community, the federal government.
00:03:27.000I really, to be honest, I think all their tax exemptions should be taken away, and they need to understand that once you start bringing in revenue like they do, you're a business.
00:03:36.000A non-profit like yours or, let's say, the Cancer Foundation, it's a little different.
00:04:11.000I've just been so busy at work, and I'm trying to scratch out time for that and reading.
00:04:16.000You will finish it and you will love it.
00:04:18.000But I will say this, though, that the the Hillsdale College model and I've sat down with Dr. Larry Arnn and he says, look, despite now, no matter how hard I've tried, I cannot make it.
00:04:32.000So I have to go to donors to offset it.
00:04:35.000And I appreciated what he said, which is that in order to get the high-quality professors at Hillsdale, which are pro-American, conservative, amazing, in order to get the buildings and the infrastructure and the dorms and the food, they charge tuition and they still lose money.
00:04:50.000So the nonprofit status allows them to continue.
00:04:55.000Where I find it harder, though, is that when some of these colleges are like mills and they have class sizes that are 700 or 800 or 900 people, there is no individualized tutoring system.
00:05:50.000First of all, thank you for being a member.
00:05:52.000I'm going to speak pretty candidly about your state because I know your state actually pretty well, and I'm going to kind of give you just kind of a take on it, and you can agree or disagree on it.
00:06:00.000First of all, I'm actually going to go back.
00:06:02.000I go to New Mexico two or three times a year to speak.
00:07:40.000Solution honestly to just keep on fighting when you're outnumbered so much.
00:07:44.000In the end states must save themselves.
00:07:46.000I will tell you, Val, we would welcome you with open arms to come to Arizona.
00:07:50.000We are right on the verge of one of the most exciting moments in Arizona history where we could take back the state for good and turn it into a Florida.
00:07:58.000The voter registration numbers show that.
00:08:35.000If Mark Kelly would not have been on the ballot in 2022, even with all the other issues, Carrie Lake probably would have beat Katie Hobbs.
00:08:42.000But Mark Kelly poured $120 million into his Senate race, which then got out more Democrats and In 2026 here in Arizona, we do not have a U.S. Senate seat.
00:08:55.000A lot of the money across the country will dry up and will not come to Arizona.
00:09:00.000There'll be some money, but it will instead go to Georgia.
00:09:38.000And we'd love to have you come chase ballots and bring family and friends.
00:09:42.000And you can also help your country by...
00:09:45.000Almost every day I get a text message from someone I grew up with in Illinois.
00:09:49.000Friends, family members, parents, they're looking for property in Florida, they're looking for property in Arizona.
00:09:54.000And it's not the worst thing, honestly, because it makes these red states even redder, and it fortifies our new Sun Belt red wall.
00:10:03.000I believe that we are going to have major problems with Trump not on the ballot in the Rust Belt.
00:10:09.000I think J.D. Vance could solve some of that, which is why I like J.D. so much.
00:10:12.000I don't think, though, we're going to have major problems in the Sun Belt, maybe in Nevada, without President Trump.
00:10:19.000I actually think in Arizona and Georgia, the trends are they're getting even redder, thanks to what President Trump has done.
00:10:26.000Arizona and Georgia have four Democrat U.S. Senators and zero Republican U.S. Senators.
00:10:33.000I think in the next 10 years, we have an opportunity to flip that and to fortify the Sun Belt for good.
00:10:42.000There's a national focus on eating all the healthiest of foods, and that's great news for Balance of Nature.
00:10:47.000Their method of producing a vibrant nutritional supplement is second to none.
00:10:51.000While so many others use chemicals and additives, Balance of Nature is made solely from whole food ingredients.
00:10:57.000While other methods sacrifice nutritional quality for the sake of profits and volume, Balance of Nature's advanced vacuum-cold process involves freeze-drying the fruits and veggies into a fine powder, helping to retain as much nutritional value as possible.
00:11:11.000Compared to the other inferior methods, which cut corners at your expense.
00:11:15.000Balance of Nature packs a nutritional punch, and that's the whole reason for taking Balance of Nature, getting the most nutrition for the sake of your health.

00:12:09.000And then finally, I don't love the new kind of influencer craze where everyone just wants to be an influencer.
00:12:16.000They're going to kind of film themselves.
00:12:18.000I encourage anyone that wants to get involved in politics, you have to cut your teeth in the grassroots of politics.
00:12:25.000This is something I talk about all the time with our Turning Point Action team.
00:12:28.000You have to do an election cycle where you're doing thankless work.
00:12:32.000It's not all just about being popular and taking selfies.
00:12:35.000I got my start knocking on doors in my own free time in 2010 for Congressman Mark Kirk in the Illinois 10th Congressional District for making phone calls.
00:12:52.000That after football practice, I would have my parents drive me to the Illinois GOTV Republican Party Victory Center to go make calls from 6.30 to 8. I set the record for the most amount of phone calls that were made.
00:13:10.000On Saturdays, the day after football games, in the fall, instead of just taking the day off, I would go into the Illinois GOTV Victory Center and just make calls for Mark Kirk.
00:13:22.000I think Mark Kirk actually became a U.S. Senator in 2010.
00:16:31.000I just want to let you know, I've been listening to your podcast since 2021, and I just finished listening to your debate at the University of Cambridge.
00:16:42.000Oh, well, first of all, thank you for your many years of listening.
00:16:58.000variety of topics and just the breadth and depth with facts and studies and and you just you came at them just came back at them just with such Would you do anything different?
00:19:08.000So they have all week to come up with a singular topic that I don't know what they're going to ask one after the other to come up to try to get a gotcha against me.
00:19:18.000So all that, and then the entire, the audience was applauding at the dumbest stuff imaginable.
00:19:22.000All that to say, I'm very thankful for how I did.
00:19:25.000They had beyond a home field advantage.
00:19:27.000I think I had like three supporters in the audience.
00:19:29.000Only thing I would have done differently is I wish I would have taken the mic at the end when it was over and just done the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:19:37.000I wish I would have just taken the mic and just went straight gospel and just, because that would have just, I think they would have booed me and I think I should have just kept talking until they like dragged me out of there.
00:19:47.000I think that would have been really cool.
00:19:50.000The only other thing is that looking back at the footage, I think there's a couple elements of things I probably could have emphasized more, like the fast-talking Cambridge girl with the American flag.
00:20:02.000She said America's terrible to women while she was wearing an American flag, so I probably could have emphasized on that one.
00:20:07.000The meth hobbit, the guy that was jumping all over the place that was anti-Israel, I actually thought...
00:20:19.000But the thing I'm most proud of is that I didn't get upset.
00:21:16.000So a couple days ago, I recently broke things off with my girlfriend.
00:21:19.000The main reason of that was political differences, and I was wondering, as a married man yourself, could you elaborate on why that's not a good idea to try and have a long-term relationship with someone with opposite political views?
00:21:31.000I've done an entire, let's just say, campus, not talk, but a campus conversation.
00:21:40.000I do not believe that you should build a life with somebody that doesn't share your values.
00:21:48.000In old days, this didn't matter as much, to be honest, 20 or 30 years ago, because you could still have similar values but different politics.
00:21:58.000However, it is a completely different thing nowadays.
00:22:22.000Are you going to watch the latest trans drag queen thing on Netflix?
00:22:27.000Or are you going to watch a World War II documentary?
00:22:29.000Almost everything is laced with politics.
00:22:34.000From the very morning where you're flipping through your daily news cycle, don't you want to be able to talk about your partner for life, about how you view the world comfortably and not have to walk on eggshells and be like, oh, we don't talk about that here.
00:23:16.000In today's America, I strongly insist and encourage you should not marry or even seriously date somebody with differing political views or a different worldview.
00:23:29.000And you are inviting a recipe for disaster.
00:23:58.000I'm from Argentina, originally born and raised, to study and be here.
00:24:05.000But I'm a strong believer on all the values that you always talk all throughout your videos and everything.
00:24:16.000And I'm a supporter of Mille in part in Argentina, but what's...
00:24:26.000What's your best advice for someone like me to leverage my unique perspective and faith to inspire fellow young conservatives, both Americans and non-Americans, newcomers like me, to get involved into shaping this country?
00:25:46.000I would tell Americans a cautionary tale that if you don't get your house in order, you can go from rich, you can go from wealthy to poor, or to poverty quite quickly.
00:25:58.000You see, we in the West, and especially those lunatics at Cambridge, we take wealth so, so for granted.
00:27:14.000I've been to an island near it, but I haven't been.
00:27:16.000I have not been to South America, and I really want to dive into South American culture and learn and see, because there is incredible potential.
00:27:24.000There's incredible upside that is untapped, largely because of resentment-driven socialist-type policies.
00:27:31.000We need more people coming to our country like you and less like Ilhan Omar.
00:27:37.000America's small businesses rely on TikTok to succeed, helping them attract more customers and drive more growth.
00:27:44.000From small batch sellers to fast growing brands, 74% of businesses on TikTok say it's helped them scale.
00:27:50.000We go super viral on TikTok here on this program, reaching billions and billions of views.
00:27:55.000You see, by hiring more employees, boosting sales, and expanding new locations, like AZ Taco King, who grew up from a mom-and-pop taco cart to two thriving restaurants in just a year, or Coco Asante, who upgraded to a larger facility and brought on more staff, letting their handcrafted chocolates reach more customers, or Dan O's Seasonings, who went from a one-man show to a team of 45, now supporting dozens of hardworking families.
00:28:20.000With TikTok, small businesses are thriving.
00:28:59.000Thank you so much for being on here and doing this.
00:29:03.000My question is, do you believe that the Israel-Palestine conflict is fundamentally rooted in territorial disputes, or are religious differences the primary driving force behind it?
00:29:15.000In your view, would the events of October 7th still have occurred if Israel were a majority Muslim state occupying the same land?
00:31:52.000But will some MAGA state harbor him and tell Minnesota to come get him to exudite him?
00:31:58.000Or if he is federally pardoned, how would you see that playing now?
00:32:01.000It's a very complicated question, and it's a good question.
00:32:03.000I'm not even sure that Chauvin wants a pardon at this point, because that would actually put him, that would actually throw him in a worse prison on the state level Of course he does.
00:32:51.000I don't think we've ever made that case.
00:32:53.000But he does not deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.
00:32:57.000Most of this, though, is Minnesota-centric, unfortunately, unless there will eventually be a Minnesota governor that will pardon him.
00:33:07.000He'll probably never get out of prison.
00:33:09.000but federally he should be completely and totally pardoned.
00:33:12.000Well, no, but that's the thought though, is if he was federally pardoned, you know, So couldn't federal officers grab him and then just move him to Florida?
00:33:21.000But no, we do have a respecting of the state's sovereign rights, as long as they're not conflicting with the U.S. Constitution, which it wouldn't be, because he's still under state law.
00:33:31.000And we do have a federalist system there.
00:33:33.000And I wouldn't even necessarily even support that because you do.
00:33:36.000For example, you don't want a Joe Biden president to all of a sudden start grabbing illegal aliens, you know, or a future AOC president to start grabbing illegal aliens from, you know, Texas and bringing them to New York so they could run for mayor or some nonsense.
00:33:48.000But no, look, to answer your question, Derek Chauvin should be.
