00:00:37.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:40.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:44.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:45.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:47.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:54.000 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.
00:01:03.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:36.000 If you give up, they win.
00:01:39.000 But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory and that's when we decided to give up?
00:01:45.000 Join us and thousands of American Patriots to the summer convention that all are involved.
00:01:53.000 You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:01:57.000 The biggest speakers and the leaders, featuring President Donald James.
00:02:02.000 We're going to fight and be going to win Charlie Kirk, the late Ramaswani, Governor Christy North, Dr. Den Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gibbs, Benny Johnson, Jack Kasovic, and more.
00:02:26.000 June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:32.000 The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:02:35.000 Join us for the People's Convention.
00:02:38.000 This is a new ballgame, everybody.
00:02:40.000 You send a message.
00:02:42.000 We play to win.
00:02:43.000 Register now at tpaction.com/slash peoples.
00:02:54.000 Look, we're going to get into some lackluster news here.
00:02:57.000 And some of you just want nothing but a positive stream of information.
00:03:01.000 I'm going to tell you the positive here, but we got to be honest.
00:03:04.000 We have to be real about the situation in front of us.
00:03:07.000 There's so many positives happening right now.
00:03:10.000 Despite how much they have tried to bring Donald Trump's numbers down, despite what they have tried to do to destroy this movement, I believe we're stronger than ever.
00:03:19.000 We are ascendant.
00:03:21.000 However, there are some serious problems right now.
00:03:25.000 Last evening was an Ohio special election.
00:03:28.000 It was in the sixth congressional district.
00:03:31.000 This is in the eastern part of Ohio.
00:03:34.000 Now, mind you, this is important to qualify.
00:03:38.000 The special elections, especially those in the summer, have very, very low turnout.
00:03:44.000 They are not overly publicized.
00:03:47.000 They're not overly emphasized.
00:03:50.000 And so it is a question of really, really high engaged voters.
00:03:54.000 However, despite the fact that the candidates running, it was Rulley, the Republican, versus Kripchak.
00:04:01.000 This is to fill a vacant seat, which, by the way, the Republican did end up winning, thankfully, to fill one of the vacant seats in the House of Representatives.
00:04:10.000 In 2022, when JD Vance was running for the U.S. Senate and when former Representative Johnson, not Mike Johnson, but Representative Johnson was running in this seat, Republicans won this congressional district by 29 points.
00:04:29.000 A R plus 29 congressional district.
00:04:34.000 Now, this includes Mahona County.
00:04:36.000 This is the eastern part of Ohio that Donald Trump has transformed, transformed from once blue-collar Democrat to right-wing Republicans.
00:04:45.000 This is the home of the muscular class.
00:04:48.000 This is right near, if not included, in East Palestine, Ohio.
00:04:53.000 And you see the results up on here.
00:04:54.000 It was plus 29 in 2022.
00:04:59.000 Last evening, with abysmally low turnout, the Republicans still won.
00:05:05.000 Rulley still won by nine points.
00:05:08.000 A 20-point movement.
00:05:10.000 A 20-point movement in just a year and a half.
00:05:15.000 Now, beneath the surface, there are reasons to worry and to be a little dissatisfied.
00:05:19.000 We emphasize on this show quite a lot that the nature of the Republican electorate has changed.
00:05:25.000 As we've pointed out, polls show that Trump is doing better with Hispanics, young people, and lower-income people than a lot of past Republicans.
00:05:34.000 He's also polling much, much, much better with lower-propensity voters.
00:05:40.000 That's the people who are least likely to turn out for an election for one reason or another.
00:05:46.000 The flip side of this, though, is that while Democrats are bleeding support from the groups that they once enjoyed that they thought would give them permanent control, they're doing better with the most reliable group of voters.
00:05:58.000 Back in 2010, the conventional wisdom was that Republicans would do better with any election where Obama or some other celebrity candidate wasn't on the ballot.
00:06:09.000 If it was just a midterm or a special election, they were consistent about turning out anyway.
00:06:14.000 Mind you, Democrats, they created mass mail-in voting as a way to try and give a voice, and a lot of fraud, by the way, but to try to give a voice to the low-propensity voter, to the person that wasn't that engaged, that would be drawn to star power and celebrity power.
00:06:32.000 Now, this has changed.
00:06:34.000 Democrats have become the party of urban elites and professionals.
00:06:38.000 They are the party of people who think everything in America is going great.
00:06:42.000 It is splendid because for them, it is.
00:06:45.000 Oligarchs are richer than ever.
00:06:47.000 For them, NATO is the most important thing.
00:06:49.000 For them, 3 million people coming across the southern border is terrific.
00:06:54.000 Democrats are also the party of people who have an unhealthy obsession with politics.
00:07:00.000 You all lived through this during Trump's first term.
00:07:03.000 Liberals are more likely to make politics their entire lifestyle.
00:07:08.000 Liberals are more likely to end a friendship or break off a contact with a family member over politics.
00:07:14.000 Instead of church on Sundays, they have pride parades and BLM rallies.
00:07:18.000 Instead of Sunday school, they have Drag Queen Story Hour, where a tranny can twerk in front of an eight-year-old.
00:07:25.000 But this obsession means that liberals do the work.
00:07:28.000 They don't just go to rallies.
00:07:30.000 They build the infrastructure.
00:07:32.000 They harvest ballots.
00:07:33.000 They make sure their people vote.
00:07:36.000 And they also make sure their politicians deliver on what they expect them to.
00:07:40.000 How many of you have volunteered at a local church?
00:07:43.000 Local Boy Scouts.
00:07:44.000 I bet all of you, because we are a decent people and you are a decent audience.
00:07:49.000 They view political involvement as the moral equivalent as helping out at a food shelter.
00:07:57.000 They believe as harvesting ballots to be the same thing as helping out in the local Boy Scout troop or helping at the Little Sisters of the Poor or volunteering at the Salvation Army.
00:08:09.000 Politics has become part of the lifestyle for the American Democrat Party.
00:08:15.000 And there are a lot of fans of this show who do the same thing on the right.
00:08:19.000 And thankfully, thanks to Turning Point Action, Turning Point USA, thanks to the MAGA movement, we are still hyper-engaged and hyper-involved.
00:08:28.000 However, Democrats care far more about politics than conservatives do.
00:08:33.000 And honestly, I think that is what makes our side a better cause to get behind.
00:08:38.000 We care more about our faith, connection with the divine.
00:08:42.000 We care more about our community, our family, our children, our jobs, than we do care about who the local dog catcher is.
00:08:51.000 And I think that is a good thing.
00:08:53.000 I do not want to lose that.
00:08:55.000 However, this election in Ohio shows us that when it's low turnout, it's not highly publicized, Democrats do a lot better.
00:09:05.000 But there's some excellent news here, and I'm going to tell you what it is in a second.
00:09:09.000 But it's a long-term problem, and it could end up being a problem this fall if we don't address it.
00:09:16.000 Now, if you are one of those people who watch this program, you watch War Room, you are part of the Salem Radio Network, if you are part of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action and showing up at the People's Convention, that is amazing.
00:09:28.000 But we need even more out of you because the Democrats, they have more paid canvassers.
00:09:33.000 They have more people that are engaged in the rigging than we do.
00:09:38.000 Our party is behind, and we have millions of people who love Trump and maybe even attend Trump rallies, but then don't vote.
00:09:45.000 And I will repeat a story I said yesterday.
00:09:48.000 Every time somebody comes up and asks for a selfie, and I'm always happy to do it, I ask a very simple question.
00:09:55.000 Are you registered to vote?
00:09:58.000 And half of the time they'll say, no, no, and they look down ashamedly.
00:10:03.000 And I'm not doing this as a humiliation ritual.
00:10:06.000 I'm not here to try to put them on the spot and make them feel bad.
00:10:09.000 I'm asking them to try and fix it.
00:10:12.000 So I'm becoming a one-stop shop voter registration machine, and you all should, including the 19-year-old that I saw.
00:10:18.000 I love your TikTok content.
00:10:20.000 Love your stuff.
00:10:20.000 He could recite my five biggest videos.
00:10:22.000 Oh, Charlie, I love when you were at NAU and you were asking the question of what is a woman?
00:10:27.000 That was amazing.
00:10:27.000 And he was just able to cite off all of these videos.
00:10:31.000 And I say, are you registered to vote?
00:10:32.000 He said, no, no, I don't vote.
00:10:35.000 I said, well, let's get you registered to vote.
00:10:36.000 And we did, and then we took a selfie.
00:10:38.000 19 years old, loves Trump.
00:10:40.000 But if I would not have engaged him, by the way, his father was right there.
00:10:43.000 And I said, well, what's going on?
00:10:44.000 He's like, oh, and the father was like, oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
00:10:49.000 We're working on that.
00:10:50.000 Like, yeah, okay, great.
00:10:50.000 And that's fine.
00:10:52.000 Not trying to shame people, but we are not going to get the victory that this country needs, that this country deserves this November, if the status quo remains.
00:11:04.000 This is not a rock concert.
00:11:05.000 This is the fate of the country.
00:11:08.000 We need to internalize that.
00:11:10.000 The key message of what we are doing in Detroit this weekend is as follows.
00:11:16.000 It's not enough just to attend an event.
00:11:18.000 You have to get to work.
00:11:20.000 If you're coming to Detroit just to hang out and have fun, you are missing the point.
00:11:24.000 And that's great.
00:11:24.000 We should have fun.
00:11:26.000 But we are in the midst of a massive movement.
00:11:30.000 Every person in attendance this weekend at the People's Convention needs to come away with a plan to do the work this fall.
00:11:36.000 If you can't attend, watch online and write down a battle plan.
00:11:40.000 What am I going to do to do the work?
00:11:41.000 Else, just like the Ohio special election last night, we might be inheriting some lackluster results in November.
00:11:50.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:11:51.000 You think our country has a reliable power grid, but we don't.
00:11:54.000 It wasn't built to last.

00:12:53.000 So it is a positive, incredibly positive email, but then chillingly negative email.
00:13:00.000 It's a remarkable email about the power of agency, applied action, but there's a buried lead in this email that makes you think that November is going to be a lot closer than people realize.
00:13:15.000 Charlie and team, Daniel, aka the bearded Viking woodworks here.
00:13:18.000 By the way, his work is incredible.
00:13:19.000 I got to be honest.
00:13:20.000 Anyone that can do things with their hands like that is just a hero in my book.
00:13:25.000 I do not have that gift thing.
00:13:26.000 I have gifts.
00:13:27.000 Manual labor is not one of them as far as making anything beautiful, like the woodworking he does.
00:13:34.000 Praise God.
00:13:34.000 I want to give you great news to share.
00:13:36.000 Ever since I emailed you guys last week, I have now got 32 additional folks registered to vote Trump.
00:13:44.000 32, literally just by wearing my MAGA hat and creating conversations.
00:13:50.000 Besides my YouTube channel, I own a small business building custom homes with 14 full-time employees, and they're now all registered to vote.
00:13:57.000 It's shocking how many people that are out there who support Trump but aren't registered to vote.
00:14:01.000 I can't wait to register even more.
00:14:03.000 Praise God.
00:14:04.000 After the first couple of conversations with strangers, it gets much easier.
00:14:08.000 I'm on fire.
00:14:09.000 If our greatest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy facing certain death, it is the least I can do to face my fellow Americans and ask them to vote.
00:14:15.000 God bless you, Charlie and team.
00:14:16.000 God bless this great nation.
00:14:17.000 P.S. My goal is to register 100 voters a week.
00:14:20.000 By the way, I want to send him a signed book.
00:14:22.000 I want to send him whatever this guy wants.
00:14:24.000 He is a hero.
00:14:25.000 If everybody in the audience took applied action like Daniel, but let's not bury the lead here.
00:14:32.000 Let's just take a step back.
00:14:33.000 That's 32 people in just a couple of weeks that he met that love Trump that aren't even on the voting rolls.
00:14:40.000 Whoa.
00:14:40.000 By the way, let's get him on the show.
00:14:42.000 That's a great idea.
00:14:43.000 Let's book him.
00:14:43.000 I think this is the type of citizen activist we need.
00:14:46.000 But let's take a step back, tape it.
00:14:47.000 Take a beep, beep, beep, take a step back.
00:14:50.000 How many people are saying yes to these pollsters that show Trump's big lead that aren't even registered to vote?
00:14:57.000 If he's able to find 32 people, I've been able to find 15 people in the last three weeks in Arizona.
00:15:03.000 Andrew had two random Trump supporters and he had took six Ubers, one out of three in Phoenix that aren't registered to vote.
00:15:11.000 That is not a good sign, everybody.
00:15:12.000 That means we have not done our work.
00:15:14.000 And part of it, of course, is the prior RNC regime under Rana.
00:15:17.000 So we're playing catch up.
00:15:19.000 They should have been doing this work relentlessly.
00:15:23.000 But it makes you wonder: is Donald Trump's candidacy just a TV show for some people?
00:15:28.000 Just watch it on TV and hope it works out.
00:15:30.000 No, this is a battle for the soul of the country.
00:15:33.000 And I am afraid the Democrats understand that and we outnumber them.
00:15:37.000 Let me be very clear.
00:15:38.000 This is the buried lead.
00:15:39.000 Me outnumber them.
00:15:41.000 But are the people that are outnumbered even registered to vote?
00:15:44.000 How many people are going to go to want to vote in October or early November, you know, during voting month or on voting day, and they're going to be saying, no, you're not a registered voter.
00:15:52.000 We're talking about 10,000 votes in Arizona, 11,000 votes in Georgia, 21,000 votes in Wisconsin in the 2020 election.
00:16:00.000 Part of this is that Democrats have really broken people's spirits.
00:16:04.000 They feel that it doesn't matter and they can't do anything.
00:16:06.000 They like Trump, but they haven't internalized that.
00:16:09.000 In fact, they can do things.
00:16:10.000 And that's where you come in.
00:16:11.000 That is why Daniel, the bearded Viking woodworker, is so effective because he has spirit, he has passion, he goes up to everyday people, and there is nothing as effective as a person-to-person contact.
00:16:26.000 By the way, if you'll talk to anybody that runs mass sales organizations, anybody from Johnson Johnson, from trying to sign people up to open a new bank account, out of all the different advertising methods, the most expensive, but the most effective is person-to-person human contact.
00:16:46.000 One-to-one.
00:16:47.000 Hello, sir.
00:16:48.000 Are you registered to vote?
00:16:49.000 Oh, no, I like Trump, but no, we got to get that done.
00:16:53.000 That is more effective than a PSA, than a radio advertisement.
00:16:58.000 That one-off-person human-to-human marketing.
00:17:02.000 And Democrats have done a good job of breaking people's spirits.
00:17:04.000 And I'm not even trying to make, I'm not trying to shame you or humiliate you if you aren't registered to vote.
00:17:09.000 I am challenging you, though, as a fellow American patriot.
00:17:13.000 This is the least that you have to do.
00:17:15.000 And then, for those of you that watch the program and you're like, Charlie, I'm tired of hearing this.
00:17:19.000 Become a force multiplier like Daniel, because there are millions of sympathetic voters out there, low-propensity voters.
00:17:27.000 And I'll be very honest: the way that the polling is looking, the polling is probably overrepresenting the low-propensity voters, and there's no guarantee that they show up.
00:17:36.000 Now, the good news is this: Donald Trump, every time he has run, including in 2020, overperforms the polling, number one, and he overperforms voter turnout.
00:17:49.000 He forgives so many of the sins, so many of the sins that we have in the Republican apparatus or the lack thereof.
00:17:59.000 It's going to require right now these next 100 days this summer will determine the future of the Republic.
00:18:05.000 How bad do we want to save this country?
00:18:10.000 Our friends at Noble Gold are doing something I haven't ever seen before.

00:19:10.000 I recently found this left-wing pollster, and he believes that Biden is going to win.
00:19:15.000 And you read his sub stack, it literally is called Hopium.
00:19:19.000 And it is all about his belief that Biden is going, it's called the Hopium Chronicles.
00:19:24.000 It's a guy by the name of Simon Rosenberg.
00:19:27.000 Seems pretty smart.
00:19:28.000 And to his credit, he predicted in 2022 that it would not be a red wave, but a red fizzle.
00:19:35.000 Most everybody else said it's going to be a red wave, red wave, red wave.
00:19:39.000 And turned out not so much the case.
00:19:41.000 His substack is called the Hopium Chronicles by Simon Rosenberg.
00:19:46.000 He believes that Joe Biden is going to win and potentially even win big.
00:19:50.000 Now, mind you, I know what you're all thinking.
00:19:52.000 Charlie, what about the machines?
00:19:54.000 What about the?
00:19:54.000 We didn't do enough.
00:19:55.000 Republican legislatures in Arizona, Wisconsin, well, not in Wisconsin, but in Georgia, we did not do enough to fix our elections.
00:20:01.000 So we have to now deal with the election apparatus as it is in front of us.
00:20:05.000 The only option in front of us is: yes, we can do lawsuits and we should, but the only attack that we have is to make it too big to rig.
00:20:14.000 That's it.
00:20:15.000 There are no other options.
00:20:17.000 We have to swamp the vote.
00:20:19.000 A lot of people say, but Charlie, what about the machines?
00:20:21.000 We didn't get rid of them.
00:20:22.000 We didn't do the work.
00:20:23.000 We did not care enough to pressure our lawmakers to get rid of them in states like Georgia.
00:20:29.000 And so they didn't get rid of them.
00:20:31.000 We didn't do enough to fix the signature verification system in Georgia.
00:20:34.000 So we didn't get rid of them.
00:20:36.000 538 has unveiled their 2024 forecasting model.
00:20:40.000 We mentioned this briefly yesterday.
00:20:42.000 It gives Biden a 53% chance of winning the election.
00:20:45.000 The key to how we win this model is our strength in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the blue wall states, which get us to the 269 electoral votes, or check as I've been calling it.
00:20:55.000 Assuming that we win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, we being the Biden team, or Arizona, North Carolina, or Nebraska II, it gets them to 270, or as they've been calling it, checkmate.
00:21:11.000 This is their path.
00:21:12.000 It's straight to the blue wall.
00:21:13.000 And guess where we are doing our event this weekend?
00:21:16.000 Detroit, Michigan, in the center, in the capital, in the central nervous system of the blue wall, in the belly of the beast.
00:21:26.000 We are going straight into Detroit.
00:21:29.000 We are going right into the thick of Detroit.
00:21:32.000 And understand that President Trump is the only candidate that could beat Joe Biden given all of the power sources in center.
00:21:44.000 This is what's so important.
00:21:45.000 Donald Trump does and has proven time and time again to bring out millions of low-propensity voters.
00:21:52.000 This cycle, we need millions even more, especially in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, especially in those states.
00:22:01.000 Let's play cut 22.
00:22:02.000 This is CBS.
00:22:04.000 27% of Americans are skipping meals because of skyrocketing food costs.
00:22:10.000 Now, understand that the Biden oligarchy, they're not skipping meals.
00:22:14.000 They're having more opulent presentations of food than ever before.
00:22:18.000 27% of Americans are skipping meals because food is too expensive.
00:22:25.000 27%.
00:22:27.000 Play Cut 22.
00:22:29.000 And some Americans are skipping meals because food prices have gotten so high.
00:22:35.000 That's right, Bron.
00:22:36.000 In fact, 27% of Americans are skipping meals because of skyrocketing food costs.
00:22:42.000 And then another 18% say they've considered applying for food stamps.
00:22:46.000 Intuit Credit Karma found a fifth of respondents, about 21%, said they felt ashamed about their inability to afford groceries.
00:22:54.000 And they also found many people are changing their food shopping habits.
00:22:57.000 So many are shopping now at discount stores versus big name supermarkets.
00:23:01.000 And about a quarter of respondents say they're just buying less healthy food and paying for something more, maybe not quite as healthy because it's what they can afford.
00:23:10.000 We are now more and more like a third world country.
00:23:12.000 And that's not an exaggeration.
00:23:14.000 We lock up our political dissidents.
00:23:15.000 We don't have borders.
00:23:17.000 Our ruling class is fatter and more gluttonous than ever before.
00:23:25.000 And the nation is literally skipping meals because food is too expensive.
00:23:31.000 That is a slow-motion demolition of the country.
00:23:35.000 27%, one in four people that you run into, they are saying, I'm going to skip lunch, I'm going to skip dinner.
00:23:42.000 How many kids are going hungry right now under Joe Biden?
00:23:44.000 That always used to be one of the talking points of Pelosi and Democrats.
00:23:49.000 There's so much child hunger in this country.
00:23:51.000 Okay.
00:23:52.000 How many kids are now going hungry because of Joe Biden?
00:23:55.000 You might say, but Charlie, how does Joe Biden connect with this?
00:23:58.000 Joe Biden went on a multi-trillion dollar deficit spending spree to spend trillions of dollars that we do not have, flood the zone with money that does not have any backing to inflate the dollar.
00:24:11.000 So when you have more dollars than goods, it crushes the working men more than anybody else.
00:24:18.000 The oligarchs are wealthier than ever.
00:24:21.000 They own more property.
00:24:23.000 They are wealthier than ever.
00:24:25.000 You see, inflation is actually a benefit to those who own assets because they can adjust their prices over time.
00:24:33.000 So if you own an apartment building, you just raise rates.
00:24:35.000 You just raise rents.
00:24:37.000 If you own a grocery store, you just raise how much you're going to charge.
00:24:41.000 Let's go to cut 84.
00:24:44.000 Prices in non-discretionary areas remain high and rising.
00:24:49.000 Play cut 84.
00:24:51.000 When you look through this number, what you're seeing again is all the non-discretionary stuff, all the things that we have no choice but to spend money on, food, energy, housing, health care, continues to be incredibly sticky in terms of prices.
00:25:06.000 I would say high and rising.
00:25:09.000 High and rising.
00:25:10.000 Inflation is a tax on the working class and working people.
00:25:15.000 Under Donald Trump, you had no structural inflation because you had real economic growth and you did not have this insane spending spree.
00:25:21.000 Gas is up 55.3% since Biden took office.
00:25:25.000 Groceries are up 21.2%.
00:25:28.000 Eating out, up 22.2%.
00:25:30.000 Baby food, up 28.4%.
00:25:32.000 K-12 food, up 65.1%.
00:25:35.000 Pet food, up 23%.
00:25:37.000 Rent is up 21.2%.
00:25:39.000 Electricity, up 29%.
00:25:41.000 Natural gas, up 22.2%.
00:25:43.000 Used cars, up 20.9%.
00:25:45.000 Airfare, up 39.9%.
00:25:48.000 Public transportation, 27.2%.
00:25:50.000 Real average weekly earnings, down 3.9%.
00:25:54.000 Under Donald Trump, we had a blue-collar boom in this country.
00:25:58.000 The average family is $10,000 poorer under Joe Biden than under Donald Trump.
00:26:04.000 The average income net required to buy a home under Donald Trump was $71,000 a year.
00:26:12.000 Now it requires upwards of $125,000 a year to purchase a home.
00:26:18.000 We have broadcast to the next generation that you are not able to enter into home ownership.
00:26:24.000 The lowest 10% of earners under Donald Trump saw their wages increase at a faster rate than the top 10%.
00:26:30.000 CNBC says the average consumer price index has reached a new all-time high.
00:26:35.000 Play cut 85.
00:26:36.000 On headline, non-seasonally adjusted, the actual index, it moved up to 314.069, a new all-time high.
00:26:46.000 If we look at the core index, which is seasonally adjusted, that moved to 318.14, guess what?
00:26:54.000 A new all-time high.
00:26:56.000 Those indices have never been higher, and they underscore the angst that the population has because no matter how small the month over changes get, the cumulative effect is substantial.
00:27:08.000 And that's what these indices continue to show us on a month over month basis.
00:27:13.000 The consumer price index is terrible news for the country.
00:27:18.000 And by the way, I would rather have good economic news and have to deal with that political reality than bad economic news.
00:27:26.000 I do not delight in the fact that millions and millions of people are not able to afford groceries, young people are not able to own a home, that basic goods and services are out of grasp.
00:27:40.000 That is not the country we grew up in.
00:27:42.000 And it is a direct correlation with Joe Biden's deficit spending spree with your money.
00:27:49.000 The solution is a change in leadership because it's a change in philosophy.
00:27:53.000 It will not get better with Joe Biden as president.
00:27:56.000 And understand, people are talking about, oh, we're going to have a landslide in November because of all this economic news.
00:28:00.000 I don't see that.
00:28:02.000 I see a landslide of laziness right now.
00:28:05.000 Now, some of you guys are working your tail off.
00:28:07.000 You're getting involved in the grassroots, and you are coming up to our turning point action people's convention.
00:28:13.000 But we need to find every disenfranchised, disenchanted citizen, and they need to vote.
00:28:19.000 Many are low propensity, and they're called low propensity for a reason.
00:28:24.000 In years past, that group favored Democrats.
00:28:27.000 This cycle, and thanks to President Trump, they favor Republicans and favor conservatives.
00:28:32.000 Democrats are doing everything they can to spin.
00:28:35.000 They're saying, oh, inflation dips lower than expected.
00:28:38.000 There is a reason they only talk about month over month or year over year inflation.
00:28:42.000 Talking about multi-year inflation gets really uncomfortable for them.
00:28:45.000 And year over year, the prices speak for themselves.
00:28:48.000 Moms, you are paying 28.4% more for baby food and 65.1% more for K-12 food.
00:28:56.000 And it is a choice.
00:28:57.000 If you vote for Joe Biden, you are voting to impoverish your family, to weaken the dollar, and make it harder for everyday Americans to own home and have the American dream.
00:29:10.000 Here's the good news.
00:29:12.000 The good news is that it's in our grasp, is that if enough Americans apply their agency, we can win this thing.
00:29:21.000 It's going to come down to a couple votes here and a couple votes there.
00:29:25.000 But the trend is our friend.
00:29:27.000 And it's going to require you to be mildly uncomfortable at times.
00:29:32.000 It's going to require you to say, boy, I don't know about that, but I'm going to go and knock on the door to my friend.
00:29:38.000 Just here's the easiest way that you could do this.
00:29:40.000 There's three levels.
00:29:41.000 Number one, make sure your entire family and extended family that like Trump, they're registered and they're going to vote.
00:29:47.000 You own that family.
00:29:48.000 Number two, friend group.
00:29:50.000 Go through your phone right now.
00:29:51.000 Open up your phone.
00:29:52.000 Hopefully it's patriotmobile.com slash Charlie.
00:29:55.000 And you go through your contact list.
00:29:56.000 This is an easy way to be an activist.
00:29:59.000 And you just go through and say, oh, yeah, I know they're conservative.
00:30:01.000 Oh, they're complaining about grocery prices and spend time texting them.
00:30:05.000 Hey, are you registered to vote?
00:30:06.000 Hope you're having a great day.
00:30:07.000 You can easily find at least 100 people by doing that, easily.
00:30:11.000 And the 2 million people a day that watch or listen to this program, if just a fraction of you do that, a fraction, we're going to be in a much better spot.
00:30:19.000 Russell Brand has come out, who is a very, very popular comedian and actor, A-list.
00:30:26.000 He's come out and he said, quote, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don't know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump.
00:30:36.000 Russell Brand has come out and he has said the following in a bombshell video.
00:30:42.000 He sat down with Elizabeth Pipko, an RNC spokesperson, for a wide-ranging interview in which they discussed Trump's trial and subsequent conviction.
00:30:53.000 Quote, they act as if a vote for Donald Trump is almost like you're voting for Armageddon, like a hysterical performance outside of courtrooms.
00:30:58.000 Endless MSNBC bombast.
00:31:01.000 But I'm starting to think that, no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism that tells you that it cares about you and it's protecting vulnerable people.
00:31:12.000 And all the while, increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary Americans.
00:31:20.000 This is a major development.
00:31:23.000 Russell Brand is not embracing the RFK.
00:31:25.000 It's very tempting because he's kind of in that genre.
00:31:27.000 He's going all in on Trump.
00:31:30.000 They did everything they could to cancel and to destroy Russell Brand six months ago, accusing him of all these terrible sex crimes in the UK.
00:31:38.000 We stand behind Russell Brand 2,000%.
00:31:42.000 He is now a committed Christian.
00:31:43.000 He is sober.
00:31:44.000 He has three children.
00:31:46.000 He's a wonderful man.
00:31:48.000 He generously had me on his program recently.
00:31:51.000 And he is now ready to say that Donald Trump is the only option this election cycle.
00:31:59.000 And we need to now transform this positive sentiment into material votes.
00:32:05.000 Unheard.com has another article about the European elections, but it ties to us here.
00:32:11.000 The radical right is winning on TikTok.
00:32:14.000 It amplifies a growing sense of anger and resentment.
00:32:19.000 Mary Harrington, she seems like a miserable person.
00:32:23.000 Earlier this year, I predicted that 2024 would be the year of Zoomer race politics.
00:32:29.000 At the time, I didn't suspect that the first and most marked electoral evidence of the shift would come from France.
00:32:36.000 But over the weekend, the hard right French party won 32% of the French vote.
00:32:43.000 Macron-Centrist Renaissance Party, meanwhile, scored less than half of that number.
00:32:47.000 The sharp rightward tilt by no means is confined to France, and it's happening on TikTok.
00:32:54.000 Maybe this is why they want to ban TikTok.
00:32:56.000 Maybe they want to ban TikTok because it's giving a voice to populism and challenging the status quo.
00:33:02.000 Play cut 96.
00:33:05.000 In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don't know how you can do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can't vote for Donald Trump.
00:33:18.000 They act as if a vote for Donald Trump is almost like you're directly voting for Armageddon.
00:33:22.000 Like you see hysterical performances outside of courtrooms, endless MSNBC bombast.
00:33:29.000 But I'm starting to think that no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism that tells you that it cares about you and it's protecting vulnerable people, all the while increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary Americans.
00:33:47.000 It's all about narrative control and people like Russell Brand and what we're doing on TikTok, reaching 16 million people in 24-hour cycles on TikTok, is making a difference in the information war.
00:33:58.000 We're going to talk about that extensively in Detroit.
00:34:00.000 Get your ticket to tpaction.com/slash peoples.
00:34:02.000 Find one new person in your life while you're at the grocery store and register on the vote.
00:34:07.000 Otherwise, we might fall short in November.
00:34:08.000 What a tragedy that would be.
