00:01:14.000His 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.
00:01:23.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:07.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory and that's when we decided to give up?
00:02:13.000Join us and thousands of American patriots to the summer convention that all are invited to.
00:02:22.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:02:25.000With the biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:02:31.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:02:33.000Charlie Kirk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Governor Christy Noah, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Pisovic, and more.
00:02:54.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:03:00.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:22.000Vivek, I want to get into the invasion on the southern border.
00:03:26.000There's a new story out of the Washington Post that shows that Joe Biden is meeting with the president of Mexico to effectively bribe Mexico to slow down the invasion until after the election.
00:03:42.000Just talk about the alignment of incentives here.
00:03:44.000The very people who are in favor of effectively open border policies at the southern border are also the very people who are also opposed to voter ID requirements, to lowering the requirements to vote.
00:05:23.000Stop giving money to Central American countries until each of them blockade their own borders from Venezuela to the southern border of Texas.
00:05:30.000End birthright citizenship for the kids of illegals.
00:05:33.000Stop funding sanctuary cities and then take the millions who are here and start deporting them to their country of origin.
00:06:19.000Yeah, no, but no, no, I'm saying the leaders have the willpower to set up offices in Turkey and in Doha to make sure that more Gazan Hamas people can come into the country.
00:06:30.000We have the willpower to make sure Zelensky gets his money.
00:06:32.000We have the willpower to make sure the FBI gets a new building.
00:06:36.000Why don't we have the willpower to do the most fundamental thing, which is to make sure we still have a nation?
00:06:51.000The problem is actually the people in charge have incentives to be able to do deals with each other, right?
00:06:56.000So the interventionist crowd, which includes, Charlie, let's be honest, Republicans and Democrats alike, have a hierarchy of priorities.
00:07:04.000So many of those Republicans who innately would be on the other side of the border issue as centrist Democrats or even left-wing Democrats, you know, all else equal, even those centrist milk toasted Republicans.
00:07:14.000I guess all else equal wouldn't like a border invasion at our own southern border.
00:07:17.000But a much higher priority for them is keeping that interventionist foreign policy agenda intact.
00:07:22.000And so what you have is them effectively doing a quiet deal with the centrist left, the institutional uniparty Democrat variety of it to say that, okay, that's a higher priority for us.
00:07:33.000So if you get on board with that agenda and we have a bipartisan consensus to invade countries like Iraq and the Middle East to fork over more money to Ukraine to continue never-ending wars, that's a higher priority for us, in which case we're going to turn a blind eye on the southern border, which is the priority incrementally of the left.
00:07:49.000And of course, it's a priority of the left because that helps them get longer lasting electoral majorities.
00:07:53.000So it's kind of this weird arranged marriage, actually, between the pro-war interventionist institutional wings of both parties that allow each one to have a tit-for-tat trade that allows the American people to suffer as a consequence.
00:08:06.000What you're saying, Vivek, is different, though, than what the consensus is you hear from the puppeteers and propagandists on the media.
00:08:13.000They say, oh, we've never been more divided.
00:08:15.000What you're saying is actually that agreement, not disagreement, is at the center of gravity in the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:08:23.000Yes, and it's two layers of agreement.
00:08:25.000One's a dark side of it and one's the bright side of it.
00:08:27.000The dark side of the agreement is the institutional class in Washington, D.C., the people who we supposedly elect to represent the American people, are not representing the American people, in many cases in both political parties.
00:08:38.000So in a weird sense, the worst decisions we're making in Washington, D.C. right now are actually the bipartisan ones.
00:08:44.000There was bipartisanship around expanding FISA 702.
00:08:57.000And yet the other side, Charlie, is we're as a people not nearly as divided as we're taught to be.
00:09:02.000I've gone to the south side of Chicago.
00:09:04.000I've gone to inner cities across this country, mostly black, supposedly mostly Democrat audiences who are dead set against, every bit as much as you and I, against forking over that money to Ukraine, against the idea of an infiltration of our own southern border.
00:09:17.000And so the people of this country are way more united than they'd have us believe.
00:09:21.000And ironically, the leaders in Washington, D.C. are way more united than they'd have us believe.
00:09:26.000It's just that they're united against the interests of we, the people.
00:09:29.000That's the perversion of this whole nightmare.
00:09:38.000As you know, I talk to a lot of different people and we're best known for our campus events that are going super viral right now, the most viral we've ever been.
00:09:46.000And outside of a couple, you know, lunatic fringe students, 95% we can come to agreement.
00:09:54.000We can come to consensus that even the ones who think they're on the radical left, opening their eyes to how that is now the party of the oligarchy.
00:10:03.000As I mentioned, you did a wonderful job speaking to our donors this last weekend.
00:10:07.000We have over 300,000 donors at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:10:11.000But it's important to remind people that the left is the party of the well-connected, of the closer to the power center than the Republican Party.
00:10:23.000Number one, is that a trend that will continue?
00:10:26.000Number two, how do we close the funding gap as conservatives, which I'm sure is something you've thought about, which is the benefit of being the party of plumbers, electricians, and welders is that there's more of you.
00:10:38.000The downside is that it's harder to raise money from those folks that are getting crushed by inflation and are basically being abused by their corporate masters.
00:11:23.000And so now if you really want to stick it to the man on a college campus, try going to Columbia and calling yourself a conservative and say you want to get married to somebody of the opposite gender and have kids and stay married.
00:11:33.000Boy, is that going to be countercultural today, right?
00:11:36.000That's actually the new countercultural move.
00:11:38.000That's how you stick it to the man today.
00:11:40.000And so I do think that that tidal wave is coming amongst people in age 19, 20, 21 age group, which is different even than you're in my vintage, which I think is a little bit of a shift that not many people see coming.
00:11:52.000People like you and I who are going to college campuses do see it.
00:11:54.000And so I think that's an opportunity that the Republican Party, you know, largely has been a party for the last 20 years.
00:12:00.000It's been asleep at the Switch, with the exception of Donald Trump and the America First Movement waking it up.
00:12:05.000Are we going to seize and rise to that occasion and actually lead that movement of youths that is hungry for a different direction?
00:12:11.000I think we can, but that's a choice we got to make.
00:12:13.000Now, the question on the funding gap is a longer discussion, Charlie, is that part of this is we do have to actually awaken.
00:12:20.000People like even who are in the room of donors that we spoke to in California, those are the good kind.
00:12:25.000Those are people who we don't need to dance to their tune.
00:12:28.000Those are the people who actually share our foundational America First values, but like me, have lived the American dream and want to use our own resources not to just bequeath a bunch of green pieces of paper to our children, but to pass on that country to our children, a country greater than the one that we inherited, just as our founding fathers did.
00:12:47.000And I do think we can't just ignore this idea of the institutional elites.
00:12:52.000They have the elites on the other side, but it's a good thing when you have people on our side that have real resources, have real actual seats at the table.
00:13:00.000I've been blessed with living the American dream.
00:13:02.000That's why I'm trying to be as generous and as both from a private sector perspective and a philanthropic perspective as I can be.
00:13:09.000But so too do we need other people like those you brought together in that room to do the same thing.
00:13:13.000And then there's the mass uprising, which is going to happen not just through donations, but I see through a parallel economy and through an actual economic response that says, you know what, we are better off not just subsidizing the same companies that are spitting in our face, but creating new economic options through the private sector to stand up to the ESG cartel.
00:13:31.000So there's a lot there, but you asked a big question and that'd be my answer.
00:13:34.000And I think it's important because we must come up with comprehensive ways that we can finance our movement because you know this, Vivek, we're outspent 10, 15 to 1 in certain sectors now.
00:13:43.000The wealthiest counties in the country almost all vote for Joe Biden.
00:13:46.000The wealthiest counties are all very Democrat.
00:15:55.000One is, most importantly, how do we make sure that Donald Trump is elected as the next president and that we have sizable enough majorities in the Senate and the House to drive through the full agenda we need to actually get through?
00:16:06.000Well, look, we talk to people in our own tribe.
00:16:08.000I think one of the things we need to get better at, you're doing this, Charlie.
00:16:33.000But not necessarily everybody has enough money in this environment to be able to say, you got to look after your family first.
00:16:39.000I respect that if money isn't the way you're going to support this movement.
00:16:42.000But then here's how you can, is make sure you're in a community, wherever it is, from central Ohio to where I am to people from California, from sea to shining sea.
00:16:50.000You're going to be surrounded by people who are quietly harmed, quietly disgusted by what's going on with the Biden administration.
00:17:00.000Take 10 people who you are near certain would never consider voting for Donald Trump, but to engage them in actual conversation, to say things like, you know what, you don't have to agree with everything we stand for.
00:17:11.000You just have to agree with the basic ideals of the country.
00:17:16.000Actually getting people, every person who switches from a Biden vote is the equivalent of two votes because it's one less for Biden and one more for us.
00:17:43.000And then second, look, this is a longer conversation that goes even beyond the election.
00:17:46.000People are voting every day with their dollars, whether or not they know it.
00:17:50.000Stop subsidizing the actual causes, including through corporate America, including through capital markets, including through the products you buy or where you shop to subsidize the very people who are spitting back in your face.
00:18:01.000And that's something that I think I'm focused on for the rest of this year.
00:19:47.000Joining us now is the great senator from the state of Florida who voted no on the foreign aid package and has been a great voice for our country and I hope becomes Senate majority leader, Senator Rick Scott.
00:19:57.000Senator Scott, welcome back to the program.
00:20:09.000They put money in there so they could help put more money than Hamas would get.
00:20:15.000And oh, we have an office now in Qatar where we can bring people on those flights that they're bringing so many thousands and thousands of people to this country, completely unvetted, with no idea.
00:20:27.000And so, and by the way, did you realize that the Gazans that they're talking about bringing in support Hamas?
00:20:35.000I mean, thank you for mentioning that, Senator, because I've been talking to lawmakers all morning and they're saying I'm wrong.
00:20:44.000They say that the refugee thing is not a big deal.
00:20:48.000You actually read bills before you vote on them.
00:20:50.000I know that's an unusual thing in DC, which I want to ask you about in a second.
00:20:54.000But can you just go into specific detail?
00:20:57.000This is $3.5 billion that is doing what exactly?
00:21:02.000First off, let's put the number in perspective.
00:21:04.000When I got up here in January 2019, government was shut down because Trump wanted $1.7, I think it was $1.7 billion to build the wall, right?
00:21:13.000So he wanted $1.7 build the wall and the Democrats, no, golly, no, we're not going to do anything like that.
00:21:52.000So this is the craziest thing in the world that we would give Biden, who is completely lawless, more money to bring in people unvetted in the country, especially just the hotbud of the Middle East.
00:22:05.000I mean, there's polls that say, what, 80% of Gazans support Hamas?
00:22:11.000I don't want Hamas supporters living on my streets, living next door to me.
00:22:16.000I don't think anybody in this country does.
00:22:17.000No, and by the way, not a single Republican voter does.
00:22:20.000I just want to understand, though, Senator, why did so many Republicans vote for this?
00:23:18.000And then behind the scenes, Chuck Schumer said that McConnell had a pact with him that they would not do any aid for Israel without aid for Ukraine.
00:23:29.000And not just military aid for Ukraine.
00:23:32.000We're going to pay for their politicians' salaries.
00:23:35.000So with which is, I mean, we're just going to put money into their government, spend, you know, let Zelensky play, spend the money where it was.
00:23:43.000Now, we'll monitor the military stuff, but the other stuff, how do you even monitor it?
00:23:47.000So, I want to just make sure the audience understands.
00:23:49.000So, you didn't vote Mitch McConnell's way previously, and he exacts revenge on you, and you got kicked off a committee.
00:23:55.000I think that's important for our audience to understand.
00:24:00.000It's not about representing your voters.
00:24:01.000It's not about reading the text, and is it good for the country?
00:24:05.000It's that any sort of access to prestige is then gatekept by the leader.
00:24:12.000Can you tell us that story again, please?
00:24:15.000So, so as you know, I'm fed up with the way this place is run.
00:24:20.000So, I ran on the first person, the only person, but with supportive guys like Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Jay Vance, people like that.
00:24:30.000I ran against McConnell to be the leader at the end of the 22 cycle.
00:24:34.000And so, he rushed the vote to the next day.
00:24:37.000You know, it was no vote was not actually supposed to be until January.
00:24:43.000And then I got kicked off Congress along with Mike Lee because Mike Lee supported me and he proposed me with Ron Johnson.
00:24:50.000So, so then, and Mike Lee and I basically had done in the last, since I've been up here, I'd been up here four years at that time, probably did 80% of the amendment votes on the Republican side.
00:25:42.000We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:25:46.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:25:48.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:25:53.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:25:59.000Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:26:36.000Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.
00:26:41.000So I want to now just zero in on this.
00:26:45.000The Biden administration is saying they're going to bring people from the Middle East brought to you by these new satellite offices that were established in the foreign aid bill.
00:26:53.000Is there anything we can do to stop this?
00:28:43.000Why is it that the members of the U.S. Congress, House, and Senate who are tasked with defending the country have such contempt for our nation?
00:31:09.000So you storm and occupy a building and perform an academic insurrection, and then you complain that the university is not bringing you donuts.
00:31:20.000It's a longer clip, but it's excellent.
00:31:22.000And it is a perfect picture and a window.
00:31:24.000By the way, this individual, this is not a joke.
00:31:28.000This is what happens when you send your kids to college.
00:31:31.000She might have conservative parents, for all we know.
00:31:36.000She is studying poetry through a Marxist lens.
00:31:43.000I'm trying to find the exact, yeah, here it is.
00:31:45.000She's a paid instructor and a PhD candidate at Columbia University studying theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens.
00:32:00.000Now she's demanding that Columbia administrators bring food and water to protesters illegally occupying Hamilton Hall.
00:32:31.000I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
00:32:38.000Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?
00:32:45.000If the answer is no, then you should allow basic, I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
00:32:53.000Like, could people please have a glass of water?
00:32:55.000But they did put themselves in that very deliberately in that situation and in that position.
00:33:02.000So it seems like you're sort of saying, we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building.
00:33:07.000Now would you please bring us food and water?
00:33:10.000Nobody's asking them to bring anything.
00:33:12.000We're asking them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.
00:33:17.000They're stopping that delivery of food.
00:33:20.000We are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it.
00:35:02.000And so if we want to play the road police, you could do so.
00:35:06.000I want to play the New York City police, but we're going to protect our city from those who are attempting to do what is happening globally.
00:35:15.000There is a movement to radicalize young people.
00:35:19.000And I'm not going to wait until it's done and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it.
00:35:24.000This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children.
00:35:34.000Wait, are you describing New York City public school teachers?
00:35:37.000Professionals that are radicalizing our children?
00:35:43.000That sounds like your average fourth-grade teacher in downtown Brooklyn.
