00:02:44.000 This is a new ballgame, everybody.

00:02:46.000 You send a message.

00:02:48.000 We play to win.

00:02:49.000 Register now at tpaction.com/slash peoples.

00:02:58.000 All right.

00:02:58.000 Okay.

00:02:59.000 Hey, everybody.

00:02:59.000 How are we doing today?

00:03:01.000 So I'm here to talk about how Trump is going to win.

00:03:05.000 That is the topic I'm giving in front of you.

00:03:09.000 And let's be honest about what it's going to take for Donald Trump to win.

00:03:13.000 I know a lot of you guys are involved in this, are in the grassroots.

00:03:17.000 They definitely have something planned for us the remainder of this year.

00:03:22.000 Whether it be another virus, another blackout, we must be on guard, everybody, because they are going to try another asymmetric propaganda war to try to take us off our game going into November.

00:03:36.000 Now, it's very easy for us to believe that there is no way that Joe Biden could possibly win another term.

00:03:44.000 You have to get that out of your head.

00:03:45.000 We are running up against a rigged system that we are going to have to overcome.

00:03:50.000 They're going to outspend us.

00:03:52.000 They control all the instruments of power.

00:03:54.000 But there are many things that are not working in Joe Biden and the Democrats' advantage right now.

00:04:00.000 And it is three letters, and it is a surprise to all of them, and that is RFK.

00:04:07.000 RFK, at first, was a threat to many of us.

00:04:11.000 I mean, a lot of you are probably RFK fans, honestly, and probably bought his book.

00:04:15.000 I agree with him on COVID and some of that stuff.

00:04:17.000 But you must remember, RFK is a Massachusetts liberal that is running as an independent.

00:04:23.000 Now, mind you, RFK is taking 70% more, 70% from Biden, 30% from Trump.

00:04:31.000 One of the marching orders that we have in the key battleground states is how can we get Trump supporters to not support RFK or Republicans and come home to Donald Trump?

00:04:42.000 They are freaking out about the threat that RFK poses to the Democrat Party and to the Democrat regime.

00:04:50.000 And to put this into perspective, in the key states, we look that RFK could take anywhere between 13, 15 to 17% where it matters most.

00:05:01.000 That is decisive.

00:05:02.000 In fact, for those of you that might remember this, I wasn't even alive at the time.

00:05:06.000 1992, Ross Perot, who voted for Ross Perot here?

00:05:10.000 Raise your hand.

00:05:11.000 Okay, there you go.

00:05:13.000 By the way, a lot of Ross Perot people became Trump people because they were upset with the system.

00:05:18.000 Am I right?

00:05:19.000 A lot of connection between Ross Perot and Trump.

00:05:22.000 Ross Perot did not win a single electoral vote in the 1992 presidential election.

00:05:28.000 Not a single electoral vote.

00:05:29.000 However, Ross Perot won 19 million votes and probably and likely gave Bill Clinton the presidency in 1992.

00:05:38.000 Ross Perot took far more from H.W. Bush than he did from Bill Clinton.

00:05:42.000 We are looking at a very similar set of circumstances with RFK going into this election.

00:05:47.000 The second thing that is very promising and is not working for the Democrats that I think we have to talk about is that the Democrats have enjoyed a monopoly with younger voters for quite some time.

00:05:58.000 The work that we are doing at Turning Point is historic and is measurable, and young men are the most conservative they have been in the last 50 years.

00:06:12.000 It is the work that many of you have supported and got behind at Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA.

00:06:19.000 I visit college campuses, so you guys don't have to.

00:06:22.000 Actually, we're on tour right now.

00:06:24.000 I've gone all across the country.

00:06:25.000 We're staying on tour, bringing the biggest names to campuses, starting high school chapters, starting college chapters, organizing students and young people around these core values of American exceptionalism, liberty, the ideas that matter so much.

00:06:38.000 Young men could decide the 2024 election.

00:06:42.000 What is it about young men?

00:06:43.000 And young women are an opportunity, let's put it that way. 0.98

00:06:47.000 There's a lot of work to be done with young ladies. 0.80

00:06:49.000 What makes it that young men are turning right in such a dramatic fashion?

00:06:54.000 Our entire culture has launched a war on men, a war on young men, and specifically a war on young white men. 0.55

00:07:01.000 And young men are pushing back against that by becoming more conservative.

00:07:06.000 Whether it be guilty until proven innocent on a college campus, the trans nonsense, which I am going to talk about in just one second, or whether it be the political correctness regime, young men are trying to find an alternative, and they're seeing that alternative in Donald Trump, in the MAGA movement, and in conservatism. 0.64

00:07:24.000 The biggest problem we have right now at Turning Point is we cannot find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our campus events.

00:07:35.000 It's a major problem.

00:07:38.000 Now, the final thing that is not working for the Democrats is this war between Israel and Hamas.

00:07:44.000 There is a serious Muslim defection happening in the Democrat Party.

00:07:48.000 This puts Michigan in play.

00:07:50.000 This might even put Minnesota in play, everybody, where so many Muslims are saying they will not vote for Joe Biden, that they'll be uncommitted.

00:07:59.000 And they are starting this massive movement to try and splinter the Democrat Party.

00:08:03.000 Now, let's talk about certain issues.

00:08:05.000 This election is a very unusual election because it's the first time in any of your lifetimes where you'll have two people that were both once presidents running for the presidency.

00:08:18.000 It's very unusual.

00:08:20.000 Therefore, it's almost as if you have two incumbents.

00:08:23.000 And the thing that is benefiting us is that the memory of the Trump presidency is far greater than the memory or the tragedy of what Joe Biden is doing.

00:08:32.000 And let's just call it how it is. 0.98

00:08:34.000 Joe Biden is a traitor to the United States. 1.00

00:08:37.000 He is a traitor to this country. 0.99

00:08:42.000 And understand that some of the issues that are going to define this election might be a little unusual. 0.95

00:08:48.000 And let's talk about one here.

00:08:50.000 If you say, Charlie, what is one issue that we should go all in on in California?

00:08:55.000 There's one issue that involves parents, that involves students, that involves your country, that is unpopular with the people, yet is getting pushed by your leaders.

00:09:07.000 And that is the mortal sin of chopping off 13 and 14-year-olds' private parts under the idea of gender-affirming care.

00:09:16.000 This is one of the most important things that you could do here in California.

00:09:21.000 This is unpopular when people are presented with the facts and the topics.

00:09:24.000 And California is now the sanctuary state for this nonsense across the country.

00:09:31.000 I believe that Donald Trump should run on a nationwide ban against medical mutilation and gender-affirming care for minors.

00:09:44.000 In fact, I believe that Donald Trump should bring together the thousands of young people that no longer can have children, that have their breasts removed in their 20s and 30s, that were lied to by these butchers. 0.95

00:09:57.000 We must be very clear.

00:09:58.000 Any doctor that does surgery on a minor under the guise of gender-affirming care, they will be bankrupted and they should end up in prison for what they have done to our nation's children.

00:10:12.000 The Democrats are terrified of this issue.

00:10:15.000 This is why the ballot referendum, what's the ballot referendum called again?

00:10:19.000 Protect our children.

00:10:21.000 You guys should all become worker bees to get the signatures.

00:10:24.000 I get asked all the time, what can I do?

00:10:26.000 What can I do?

00:10:27.000 Have all of you got a thousand signatures for this protect our children?

00:10:32.000 Probably not.

00:10:34.000 If everybody in this room went and got a couple hundred signatures, we could get this ballot referendum on the ballot this November and make the trans issue the issue here in California.

00:10:45.000 Now understand, huh?

00:10:47.000 There's one week.

00:10:48.000 I don't know how they're doing.

00:10:49.000 The time is of the essence.

00:10:51.000 But here's the reality, everybody, is that if we are afraid of what the alphabet mafia and the purple-haired jihadis are going to call us, and we're not willing to defend our children, we have no business being in politics.

00:11:08.000 This is a moral defining issue of our time.

00:11:10.000 And understand how it works.

00:11:12.000 There has been a 5,000% increase, a 5,000% increase in trans identification with our nation's youth in the last couple of years.

00:11:23.000 This is not a medical issue.

00:11:26.000 This is a fad.

00:11:27.000 This is a social contagion where so many young people are finding this nonsense on digital social media.

00:11:34.000 They're finding this on TikTok.

00:11:36.000 They're absorbing this.

00:11:37.000 And there are three types of people in this world.

00:11:40.000 There are infants, predators, and protectors of infants.

00:11:45.000 Right now, California is being run by predators, people that are perfectly okay taking a child away from their parents and giving them cross-sex hormones, giving them testosterone, giving them a hysterectomy.

00:11:59.000 The political issue is massive here because there are certain things that should not be allowed by law.

00:12:07.000 And the Democrats know this.

00:12:08.000 This is why they're afraid to debate this topic.

00:12:11.000 This is why they're afraid to engage on it.

00:12:13.000 This is why they're trying to prevent this ballot referendum from getting on there in the first place.

00:12:18.000 One of the ways that we take back this country and get Donald Trump elected is that we go all in on issues that the Democrats are owning that are destroying the country.

00:12:27.000 The trans is number one.

00:12:29.000 Number two, and Donald Trump is the best on this. 0.61

00:12:32.000 We need to build the wall and deport every single illegal foreigner that has come into this country. 1.00

00:12:38.000 Every single one. 0.91

00:12:40.000 This is not a racial issue, by the way.

00:12:43.000 The people that are the most in support of this are Hispanic Americans that came here the right way, and they're sick of the line cutting and the stealing and the cheating. 0.94

00:12:54.000 Understand, and I don't know how much time we're we have a little bit of time, okay.

00:12:59.000 That if there is the biggest takeaway here from my speech and what makes Charlie Kirk different than some people on radio is that I believe what is happening to our country is happening because it's intentional, not by mistake.

00:13:17.000 It is one of the most important realizations.

00:13:22.000 Unfortunately, the majority of Republicans that are sent to Washington, D.C. think that Joe Biden means well and he's just not doing a good job.

00:13:34.000 I want to draw your attention to an academic paper that was written in the 1970s.

00:13:42.000 It was called the Cloward Piven Strategy.

00:13:45.000 It's one of the most important things that you should be aware of.

00:13:49.000 Cloward and Piven were two political scientists.

00:13:54.000 They were communists.

00:13:55.000 They wanted to destroy the country.

00:13:58.000 They wanted to create a Marxist revolution.

00:14:01.000 And they said, how on earth are we going to bring Marxism to this country?

00:14:06.000 And these two academics wrote a paper called the Cloward Piven Strategy for a Marxist Revolution.

00:14:14.000 And I'm paraphrasing part of this, but it was three things.

00:14:17.000 And you can fact-check me on it.

00:14:19.000 Number one, borrow so much money where you are a debtor nation and your dollar becomes worth nothing.

00:14:29.000 We are borrowing a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:14:34.000 Number two, build a deep state in the government, a massive permanent bureaucracy that is unaccountable to the will of the people and creates a fourth branch of government above the Constitution.

00:14:48.000 Did Peter Strzok or Lisa Page or James Comey or Bruce and Nelly Orr ever go to jail for what they did with Russia Gate?

00:14:55.000 Of course not.

00:14:56.000 Anthony Fauci, was he held accountable?

00:14:59.000 He got a bonus and is making more money than ever before.

00:15:04.000 Number three, in the Cloward-Piven strategy, open up the borders and allow millions of foreigners to come across where citizenship means nothing, sovereignty is deteriorated, and the nation-state is no more. 0.98

00:15:19.000 The Cloward-Piven strategy was a radical idea 40 or 50 years ago.

00:15:24.000 It is now the mission statement of the Biden presidency.

00:15:28.000 You are now living through something that many of you probably never thought you would see, where an occupant of the White House is intentionally employing policies and ideas that harm the very country that they are sworn in to defend and protect.

00:15:44.000 This is why I was so upset with the House Republicans where they did not get impeachment done of Joe Biden.

00:15:50.000 They were, oh, you know, all this China stuff. 0.99

00:15:52.000 Yes, he is a traitor for what he did for China. 0.92

00:15:55.000 But he is an obvious traitor for just what he's doing for the southern border. 0.90

00:15:59.000 Just the border alone is enough to impeach Joe Biden, but they messed that up and that's not going to happen.

00:16:04.000 But we should have gotten it done, but they didn't.

00:16:07.000 And that is what's so important for us to recognize and realize is that this November, this election, it won't necessarily, it might not, you know, people say it's the most important election.

00:16:20.000 Of course it's the most important election.

00:16:22.000 Every year is because the country keeps on getting in a worse position and a worse shape year after year after year.

00:16:28.000 But it might be the last election that our country has.

00:16:34.000 Because you cannot continue to survive if the ruling class hates the country that they are sworn to defend and to protect.

00:16:44.000 So how do we win?

00:16:46.000 Well, it goes back to Nebraska.

00:16:48.000 It goes back to why you are all here.

00:16:50.000 And I'm going to give you guys some tough love.

00:16:52.000 And some of you guys are not necessarily involved in this, but the left currently, as a political machine, they want it more than us.

00:17:02.000 You might say, Charlie, I want it a lot.

00:17:04.000 Well, it might not be you, but our movement is not a serious movement currently.

00:17:08.000 If it was, this would not be even a question in Nebraska to change the electoral vote.

00:17:12.000 If it was, we would not even have a question about getting voter ID and signature verification and no more mail-in ballots.

00:17:21.000 Why do we put up with this? 0.98

00:17:24.000 Because our side continues to be a side of lovable losers. 0.98

00:17:29.000 Donald Trump is the only person that stands in the way of that. 0.72

00:17:33.000 He is this movement that so many of you are part of, this populist nationalist, diverse movement of people of different backgrounds, the muscular class, police officers, firefighters, veterans.

00:17:44.000 The movement embodies one thing more than anything else, is that we will not accept losing and feeling good while losing.

00:17:54.000 Victory is the only option.

00:17:55.000 And that means using political power.

00:17:58.000 That means being relentless.

00:18:00.000 That means being gritty.

00:18:02.000 And that attitude is not widespread right now in the Republican Party.

00:18:06.000 Did this House Republican conference balance the budget?

00:18:09.000 We're borrowing more money than ever before.

00:18:09.000 No.

00:18:11.000 Did they secure the border?

00:18:12.000 No.

00:18:12.000 10,000 people a day.

00:18:14.000 We have almost zero wins across the board because it's an attitude of losing.

00:18:19.000 But it must start with you.

00:18:21.000 And we have another shot coming here in November.

00:18:23.000 And that shot is making Donald Trump the 47th president of the United States.

00:18:27.000 And it's going to go through Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, and you guys are going to play a massive role.

00:18:33.000 So I want to invite Jen and Grant up.

00:18:35.000 So here's your marching order, everybody.

00:18:37.000 You could go to my social media.

00:18:38.000 We need everybody to call the governor of Nebraska and demand a special session to go to winner-take-all.

00:18:44.000 Okay?

00:18:45.000 It's that simple.

00:18:46.000 Special session, winner-take-all.

00:18:47.000 You might say, but Charlie, I have nothing to do with Nebraska.

00:18:50.000 Wrong.

00:18:51.000 This is a national issue now, everybody.

00:18:53.000 It impacts every single one of us.

00:18:55.000 This is an American issue, not just the Nebraska issue.

00:18:58.000 Grant, we want to do some questions?

00:18:58.000 Okay.

00:19:00.000 So let me start off with this idea of communism and the study you mentioned because it's so fascinating.

00:19:09.000 I've actually said that I thought what happened in COVID, in the beginning, I thought it was a test.

00:19:15.000 But I don't actually believe it was a test anymore.

00:19:17.000 I actually believe it was the culmination.

00:19:19.000 They've been talking about communism for 40 years almost in this country and the plan to take it over.

00:19:26.000 And I think they were surprised by the pushback they got.

00:19:30.000 Yeah, and I mean, I think they're surprised, but they're going to just try it again.

00:19:35.000 I'm a big believer in justice.

00:19:37.000 Why have we not had Nuremberg-style trials for the people that developed the vaccine and pushed the vaccine and for the people that locked down our schools and masked our kids?

00:19:49.000 I think if Donald Trump becomes president, he needs to have a special committee, a special counsel that goes to just indict the war crimes that were done under COVID.

00:19:58.000 And by the way, just that issue alone, how many people were kicked out of the military for not taking the mRNA gene-altering shot?

00:20:06.000 How many people that lost their jobs that were forced?

00:20:10.000 That is one of the great injustices of the last couple of years.

00:20:14.000 And look, the bright spot is this, Grant, is that they were shocked that despite all of the bullying, despite all the propaganda, despite all the arm twisting, that 20 million people in this country still did not take the COVID shot.

00:20:31.000 That is the highest number in any Western country.

00:20:36.000 A lot of people, and I'm not, if you did, I'm not faulting you, but if you did, let's be honest, you fell for the propaganda.

00:20:41.000 Okay, let's just, let's, you just, I'm not saying it was the wrong decision for your health, but a lot of people have been harmed by this thing.

00:20:47.000 And a lot of young people have been permanently damaged.

00:20:50.000 Myocarditis, pericarditis, drop dead blood clots.

00:20:53.000 I mean, and the data is just beginning to come out.

00:20:56.000 But they did everything.

00:20:57.000 They paid people to get it.

00:20:58.000 They kicked them out of their job.

00:20:59.000 They incentivized them.

00:21:01.000 And despite all of that, this remnant in this country said, no, I will not bend a knee to the government.

00:21:08.000 And that gives me great hope, Grant.

00:21:09.000 It really does.

00:21:10.000 I have to give a shout out because one of our great engineers, call screeners, video operators, we call him radar.

00:21:17.000 He actually was kicked out of the military because he wouldn't take the COVID vax.

00:21:21.000 And there are people who will stand up to it and stand for truth, and we won't be tricked again.

00:21:25.000 And it's a great tribute to Salem, too, that we hire a guy like Radar.

00:21:29.000 So many companies were afraid to hire people.

00:21:31.000 It's even worse.

00:21:31.000 Other radio networks, which you guys should not listen to.

00:21:34.000 That's true.

00:21:35.000 And Dan Bongino was the one to show this, the company Dan Bongino works for.

00:21:41.000 Yeah, I mean, they threatened to take his show off air and tried to fire his whole team over not taking the vaccine.

00:21:48.000 Salem was always like, if you want it, great.

00:21:50.000 If you don't, great.

00:21:51.000 Kudos to Salem for doing the right thing.

00:21:53.000 They were terrific.

00:21:54.000 Otherwise, you wouldn't have Jen and Grant and Charlie, I think, that's for sure.

00:21:58.000 By the way, if it would have come to, I would have quit.

00:22:00.000 I mean, that's how big it was.

00:22:02.000 It was more of the principle of the thing, like, I'm not going to put this thing in my body just because you tell it.

00:22:07.000 Like, for me, that's like top issue self-sovereignty type stuff.

00:22:13.000 So we have in California, I have said along it for a long time, that the reason Republicans don't win in California is not that there aren't enough Republican voters.

00:22:21.000 There really are.

00:22:22.000 We voted more voters come for Trump from California than from any other state.

00:22:27.000 But we have a real problem between the grassroots and the establishment.

00:22:30.000 And the establishment Republicans, we see this in D.C. too, make things a lot harder, what you're talking about. 0.99

00:22:34.000 We're lovable losers. 0.97

00:22:36.000 But they're still afraid. 0.96

00:22:38.000 And this room is filled with people in the grassroots who are putting in the blood, sweat, and tears to make change.

00:22:43.000 And I think we feel disheartened by the establishment shutting us down.

00:22:46.000 So how can we make connections?

00:22:48.000 How can the grassroots continue to thrive?

00:22:51.000 Because that's who's here today.

00:22:52.000 The first thing you need to do is take back your state party.

00:22:54.000 That's the first thing you need to do.

00:22:56.000 And that's a big ask.

00:22:57.000 I don't know how, is it precinct committee men here?

00:23:00.000 How do you guys elect your state party chair here?

00:23:01.000 Every state is different.

00:23:02.000 The state party chair is within the people in the committee, right?

00:23:05.000 Yeah, I don't know if your current chair is good or bad or whatever, but generally, it's the state party problem that is the easiest way to do this.

00:23:12.000 Again, I don't want to, I don't know if the current chair is good or bad or the current committee men is good or bad.

00:23:16.000 Okay, I do know that you're one of the committee men voted for Rana and was a big fan of Rana, a friend of mine, Sean Steele, and he should resign for supporting Rana.

00:23:25.000 Anyone who voted for Rana should be kicked out of the RNC and should be run out of office, right?

00:23:29.000 Anybody that did.

00:23:30.000 And I do, and I got in a big fight.

00:23:32.000 I said, Sean, you know, you supporting Ronna McRomney, this will be the end of your tenure as being a respected political figure.

00:23:38.000 And he said, Rana's great.

00:23:40.000 I said, she is a terrible insurgent who is there to destroy Donald Trump and destroy our movement.

00:23:44.000 So he's got to go.

00:23:45.000 But that's what's one way.

00:23:46.000 So get involved on the local GOP and then the California GOP and go and get rid of these people that are not representing your voice.

00:23:54.000 So let's just think about this, right?

00:23:56.000 So I hate to pick on Sean Steele because I've known him for a while, but I did give him a warning, right?

00:24:00.000 I said, you support Rana, you're done.

00:24:02.000 End of the line. 0.94

00:24:03.000 So he represents you guys as the grassroots and goes to the RNC meeting in Dana Point, despite the RNC having the worst fundraising in 30 years, despite the fact that Rana does nothing to fix Nebraska, despite the fact that Rana does these stupid debates when we should never have had any of those debates that were a mockery to the RNC. 0.70

00:24:22.000 She's spending millions of dollars wasting them on flowers and Lululemon and is the worst chair ever.

00:24:29.000 And your committeeman for California goes down and says, stamp of approval, she's a friend of mine. 0.99

00:24:35.000 Like, that's not going to work anymore.

00:24:37.000 We're going to drive you out of office.

00:24:39.000 That's the attitude.

00:24:40.000 And you can get that done. 0.78

00:24:41.000 We need a state party chair and a committee that actually represents the voters.

00:24:45.000 And if you guys don't like hearing that, then, you know, sorry, the grassroots are going to take over the party.

00:24:51.000 That's the way that this is.

00:24:53.000 And just to follow up real quick on that, because obviously, I don't know if you guys heard, but Trump raised $50 million last night.

00:24:59.000 And that's a result of getting rid of Rana and taking over the RNC.

00:25:03.000 And this is, people say, well, Trump's doing too much.

00:25:05.000 He's getting too involved with the RNC.

00:25:07.000 This is how the Democrats do it every single time.

00:25:09.000 But I want to know your thoughts about what the new RNC is going to look like with Scott Pressler and with Laura Trump.

00:25:14.000 I mean, first of all, they listen to the grassroots.

00:25:14.000 It's amazing.

00:25:16.000 The old RNC was controlled opposition.

00:25:19.000 And by the way, you want me to prove it to you?

00:25:21.000 Where does Rana go once she's done with the RNC? 1.00

00:25:24.000 Goes and gets a gig from NBC News. 1.00

00:25:26.000 By the way, they don't even like her.

00:25:27.000 Nobody likes Rana. 0.98

00:25:28.000 She's like, the Democrats don't like her. 0.99

00:25:30.000 Republicans don't like her. 1.00

00:25:32.000 She is one of the greatest losers in modern American politics. 1.00

00:25:35.000 That will be her legacy. 0.99

00:25:37.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:25:38.000 Am I too aggressive?

00:25:39.000 No, you're not too aggressive at all.

00:25:41.000 You think that's too aggressive for me?

00:25:43.000 No, but anyway, the point being is this, which is that the RNC with the current regime, Watley, Lara Trump, and La Savita is in a much better place.

00:25:53.000 But why is it that we win elections, but we don't win legislative fights?

00:25:57.000 Why is it that we don't get accountability to the grassroots?

00:26:00.000 Because for years, the RNC and many of these other figure places, they don't care about you.

00:26:04.000 I went down when I tried to get Harmeet Dillon elected as RNC chair, who's great, by the way.

00:26:09.000 She's amazing.

00:26:10.000 When I tried to get Harmeet Dillon elected as RNC chair to Dana Point, I shook hands.

00:26:15.000 I looked at people.

00:26:16.000 They don't care about what you think.

00:26:18.000 They don't.

00:26:18.000 They care about access to power.

00:26:20.000 They thought Rana was doing an excellent job because for them, maybe it was.

00:26:26.000 So it's a pay-for-play operation.

00:26:27.000 We have to blow it up.

00:26:28.000 And I hope Trump gets more involved in the RNC, not less.

00:26:31.000 I think, and I think you'll agree with this, Charlie, and you too, Jen.

00:26:36.000 If I can give you a, I guess, a brighter lining of all of this, this is not unique to California, and it's not unique to national politics.

00:26:45.000 So if you want California, you know what you have in common with Texas, where I spent a lot of time?

00:26:50.000 We got the same problem in Texas with the GOP.

00:26:53.000 And that is a very bright red state where you have good conservatives.

00:26:57.000 So I have always said, Charlie, that local politics, state politics becomes a microcosm of Washington.

00:27:03.000 What happens in the swamp in Washington?

00:27:05.000 We have it in Sacramento.

00:27:06.000 We have it at LA City Hall.

00:27:08.000 And the Republican Party had been so entrenched in the old way of doing politics.

00:27:13.000 They don't know about social media.

00:27:15.000 They don't know about grassroots.

00:27:17.000 And it only started to change when I ran for Congress in 2011 when the Tea Party was at its strongest.

00:27:24.000 And the Tea Party started to change everything.

00:27:26.000 And that's when the battle began. 0.87

00:27:28.000 Only now are we starting to see victories like Laura Trump taking over the RNC.

00:27:34.000 Yeah, and understand that the Tea Party movement fizzled out temporarily because the Koch network came and tried to take over the Tea Party, the Koch brothers, Americans for Prosperity, which was one of the great cons ever done in the history of the conservative movement.

00:27:48.000 Many of you guys might have been involved in Americans for Prosperity, but this was open borders, pro-drug legalization, globalists that came in and took the energy of the Tea Party.

00:27:57.000 If it was not for Donald Trump, the entire idea of fighting would have just died by the wayside.

00:28:02.000 We would have had nothing but Paul Ryan's and Mitch McConnell's.

00:28:05.000 And so, look, you guys deserve better.

00:28:07.000 And that's why I fight so hard on radio and fight so hard at Turning Point.

00:28:11.000 Is that you guys are prayerful warriors, happy warriors?

00:28:15.000 You raised your kids, you go to church, you support this wonderful network, you do the right thing, and you are angry because your leaders failed to do the right thing.

00:28:25.000 And you should be angry because I've spent time amongst many of them.

00:28:28.000 They are smug.

00:28:30.000 They're condescending.

00:28:31.000 They're disconnected to many of you.

00:28:33.000 And it does not bother them that there's 10,000 foreigners coming across the border every day.

00:28:38.000 It does not bother them that we're borrowing a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:28:42.000 Instead, they're like, oh, well, you have to trust the process.

00:28:44.000 We sent you there to go no longer follow the process, but to get stuff done.

00:28:49.000 We did not send you there to just be part of a country club.

00:28:52.000 And so, but yes, we're finally starting to see things change.

00:28:55.000 And this is going to outlast Trump.

00:28:57.000 As turning point starts to get more powerful, as the shows start to get bigger, what is their constituency?

00:29:02.000 The Mitt Romney, Rana Romney, Liz Cheney wing of the party is dying.

00:29:08.000 And the Donald Trump wing of the party is ascendant.

00:29:11.000 And it's just a matter of time before we start to make the Republican Party a true opposition party.

00:29:17.000 And I think that means that we can't be bullied anymore.

00:29:20.000 See, what they don't like about Trump is they can't bully him or shame him into things like they've done to Republicans for a while.

00:29:27.000 So I get asked this all the time.

00:29:28.000 So I'm going to pass it to you because I always say, I think it's great.

00:29:30.000 I don't think it hurts him.

00:29:32.000 But people always ask me the legal troubles for Donald Trump.

00:29:35.000 What factor does that have in an election year?

00:29:38.000 I think it helps.

00:29:40.000 Yeah, I mean, they're going to now introduce him.

00:29:42.000 His New York trial is coming up soon, the Alvin Bragg trial, which is such a tragedy of justice.

00:29:48.000 Business records, you're going to try to, it's just unbelievable.

00:29:51.000 And then that one, they're going to add something to Donald Trump's name.

00:29:54.000 Every time Donald Trump goes on TV, they'll say, convicted felon Donald Trump, convicted felon Donald Trump.

00:29:58.000 So you just have to get ready for that.

00:30:00.000 The Jack Smith stuff, I don't think that's going to happen before the election.

00:30:04.000 And if Donald Trump wins, I think he should just pardon himself.

00:30:07.000 I think that this, I mean, I'm not kidding.

00:30:09.000 This whole thing is such a joke.

00:30:11.000 I'm surprised Biden hasn't pardoned himself and Trump.

00:30:13.000 Yeah, well, because so far.

00:30:15.000 And Hunter, right?

00:30:17.000 And he might on the way out.

00:30:18.000 But I think what it does is it turns Trump into a sympathetic figure.

00:30:22.000 They are overreaching.

00:30:23.000 They're incredibly ferocious and aggressive.

00:30:27.000 And yeah, I think it probably helps him.

00:30:29.000 The way he has played it is excellent.

00:30:32.000 But make no mistake, Jack Smith might not be done.

00:30:34.000 He might do a superseding indictment on an insurrection charge before November.

00:30:39.000 Jack Smith is doing everything he possibly can.

00:30:41.000 The documents case is almost certainly not going to come up before November.

00:30:44.000 So there's four cases.

00:30:45.000 The one in Georgia is a complete mess.

00:30:47.000 No one's going to take anything that comes out of that seriously because Fannie Willis is just a complete, complete joke. 0.99

00:30:53.000 And she should not be on that case.

00:30:54.000 So thankfully, that one has really fallen apart.

00:30:55.000 By the way, that one was the most serious of all of them because that one they were building up with co-conspirators and co-defendants.

00:31:01.000 It was a big issue.

00:31:02.000 So thankfully, that one's fallen apart.

00:31:04.000 The one that Jack Smith is going to try to get into trial by September, which will probably not happen, is the January 6th case.

00:31:11.000 But look, Donald Trump is unique.

00:31:13.000 He is the ultimate embodiment of what we call anti-fragile, which is the more you attack him, the actually stronger he gets.

00:31:21.000 And also our movement feels the same way, which is the more opposition you throw at us, the more nonsense that you try to attack us, the stronger we actually get.

00:31:31.000 You know, Donald Trump yesterday, I don't know if you saw his Truth Social post that he made, but he basically was trying to push Judge Engeron into throwing him in the clink, as President Trump called it.

00:31:46.000 He said, I dare you.

00:31:47.000 I dare you to put me in jail over this gag order.

00:31:52.000 And that's the civil trial.

00:31:53.000 That's the fifth.

00:31:54.000 That's a different one. 0.65

00:31:55.000 Over a gag order.

00:31:56.000 And so a buddy of mine named Bruce Lavelle, I think you know Bruce, who is a close confidant of President Trump, called all of this the season of exposure.

00:32:04.000 And what have we seen?

00:32:06.000 We've seen the season of exposure, certainly a Lovebirds 2.0 in Georgia being exposed.

00:32:11.000 Then we just saw this judge in New York, $95 million his daughter raises for Adam Schiff and all of these causes, and she's fundraising off of the case that her father is overseeing.

00:32:24.000 All of it will come out between now and November.

00:32:27.000 That's not to say they're not going to try to bring more stuff on us, but it is the season of exposure, Charlie.

00:32:33.000 Yeah, and I think this is part of the awakening, and that is why I'm ultimately optimistic, because, look, this is going to hopefully have a political ending.

00:32:43.000 But the prerequisites that we are living through are awfully troubling, which is a small group of people that run the country, that have a ton of money and a ton of power, that hate you, and they hate the fact that you're getting more involved in the process.

00:33:01.000 That's a bad set of events.

00:33:02.000 Let's just be honest, okay?

00:33:04.000 When the most powerful people hate the country they govern and despise it at the core, they're going to do some very radical stuff, and that's lawfare.

00:33:13.000 Because again, it's not about Trump.

00:33:15.000 It's about Trump's movement.

00:33:16.000 Those are two different things.

00:33:18.000 And every single one of you are part of his movement.

00:33:20.000 And they despise the fact that you have a voice, that you are able to participate in the process, that you are in the room.

00:33:28.000 And this is an oligarchy.

00:33:30.000 They say every single time you hear on television, our democracy, our democracy, our democracy, just replace the word democracy with oligarchy, and it all starts to make sense.

00:33:40.000 Our oligarchy, our oligarchy, our oligarchy is under attack.

00:33:44.000 You're right.

00:33:45.000 It is under attack.

00:33:46.000 And the reason why Trump is unique, well, there's a lot of reasons, but that makes him is he's a class traitor in the sense that he was one of the elites, that he was one of them, and he decided to no longer be one of the elites and to go fight for the forgotten men and woman in this country.

00:34:06.000 And what makes him more appealing is that especially for working class people that have felt as if they have been, and you're right, by the way, those of you that work with your hands, those of you that work in factories in California, but especially in the heartland of this country, Iowa, Ohio, that there was a bargain by very wealthy people to shut down the factories, to go disenfranchise the heartland of the country, to go make a smaller group of people very, very rich and wealthy.

00:34:36.000 And the indictments of Trump are, no, no, we actually hate you so much, we want the one person that you like politically to go in jail so you can't vote for him.

00:34:45.000 And that creates a fear, a backlash like we've never seen.

00:34:49.000 And so I think we should lean into the indictments.

00:34:52.000 I think Donald Trump should sell continue t-shirt mugshots.

00:34:56.000 I'm not kidding.

00:34:57.000 I think that, and it's a sad thing.

00:35:01.000 I used to trust the American system of justice.

00:35:04.000 Now I think it's completely rigged and run by a small kleptocracy that want to destroy the country. 0.69

00:35:10.000 Isn't that amazing?

00:35:11.000 I mean, how many of you feel that way?

00:35:13.000 I know I do, where you just go, do I trust anything that's happening?

00:35:16.000 It's amazing.

00:35:18.000 So, I don't know, Charlie, if you know, but on Election Day here in California, a lot of dead Democrats vote.

00:35:23.000 It's amazing.

00:35:26.000 So, election integrity.

00:35:28.000 I know you watch these states that are important, the key states that will determine the election.

00:35:32.000 What do you think?

00:35:33.000 I know under Rana, not enough was done.

00:35:35.000 There is some time, but where does it stand right now?

00:35:39.000 Yeah, it's not great.

00:35:41.000 And this is the lack of the will by the Republican Party.

00:35:44.000 We're doing everything we can at turning point to ballot chase and to get involved in Arizona, but we might fall short, everybody.

00:35:44.000 I think we need it.

00:35:51.000 And if we do, it'll largely be because Republican governors in Republican states with Republican legislatures did not get rid of mass mail and voting.

00:36:00.000 And so, again, our side is not serious about winning.

00:36:04.000 We kind of passively hope we win and kind of like, you know, hope it happens.

00:36:09.000 We should win, right?

00:36:10.000 And why am I taking the tone I'm taking?

00:36:13.000 Because I have too much respect for you, and you guys support me too much to lie to you.

00:36:18.000 So, I could do what some people might do, where they come up and they do hopium, hope and opium together.

00:36:23.000 It feels good, but it's really bad for you.

00:36:25.000 We're going to win no matter what.

00:36:26.000 We're going to overwhelm the system.

00:36:28.000 We can.

00:36:30.000 We might, but I don't know if we will.

00:36:33.000 And that's because they structurally have rigged the game.

00:36:37.000 And I can go through this as quick as possible.

00:36:39.000 You have dirty voter rolls that then result in mail and ballots to everybody on the dirty voter rolls.

00:36:45.000 Therefore, those ballots are technically legitimate, even though they are ballots that never should have been sent out in the first place.

00:36:53.000 And then they get sent in and they get processed as if they're legitimate, but it goes back to the original sin of dirty voter rolls.

00:37:00.000 So the original sin is dirty voter rolls that you have to try to sue to clean up.

00:37:05.000 And a lot of work has been done on that, but not enough work has been done on that.

00:37:10.000 The RNC has just done, thankfully with Lara Trump, they've done a lawsuit in Michigan in 57 counties where they have more registered people on the ballot, on the rolls than actual voters.

00:37:20.000 And every one of those people get a ballot, right? 0.95

00:37:22.000 Mass mail and balloting does that.

00:37:24.000 And so how do you fix it?

00:37:26.000 It requires the will to fix it if we ever get back into political power.

00:37:30.000 In the meantime, we have to kind of engage in the lesser of two evils and try to use the system to our advantage, which is why in California, I do hope you guys ballot harvest.

00:37:38.000 I do guys hope you guys do this because you have no choice.

00:37:41.000 You just don't, right?

00:37:42.000 You're in a terrible one-party state where you try to use the rules in front of you.

00:37:47.000 It's the only possible way to try to scrap yourself back into political relevancy.

00:37:51.000 Anything short of that is a guarantee that you will fall short.

00:37:54.000 But not enough has been done, Jen.

00:37:56.000 Not enough has been done.

00:37:56.000 I'll give you an example that goes with the GOP establishment not doing enough to secure our elections.

00:38:03.000 So one, I've talked with people inside the Trump campaign, very close to President Trump.

00:38:08.000 They actually quietly believe they've got to beat the vote by the fraud by 5%.

00:38:13.000 If they can overcome 5%, they're not going to be able to steal enough votes in order to overcome President Trump.

00:38:19.000 So that's one motivation to get out there.

00:38:21.000 But I'll give you this example.

00:38:22.000 On the Real America's Voice Show on Friday night, we had a guy who was running for statehouse in Texas.

00:38:28.000 He lost by 500 votes to one of the impeachment managers of Ken Paxton.

00:38:33.000 Do you remember this?

00:38:33.000 Is the attorney general in Texas who's under fire like President Trump because they just despise him and him being really a grassroots AG going after Biden?

00:38:44.000 Forget the election in Dallas because where do they steal elections?

00:38:48.000 Blue cities and counties in purple and red states.

00:38:52.000 Okay?

00:38:53.000 In Dallas.

00:38:54.000 Forget about all the politics behind who's running and who.

00:38:58.000 They had not certified the software on Super Tuesday since 2019.

00:39:05.000 Now, how many of you have a cell phone that you update?

00:39:08.000 I got to update my cell phone every month.

00:39:11.000 Not certifying election software since 2019.

00:39:14.000 Where was the Republican Party in Dallas?

00:39:18.000 Where are they in Phoenix, in Maricopa County?

00:39:21.000 Where are they in every city across the country, Charlie?

00:39:23.000 Well, I know.

00:39:24.000 And here's the problem, is that this election integrity fight is the gritty knife fight that will determine the civilization.

00:39:35.000 And temperamentally, a lot of Republicans don't have what it takes.

00:39:41.000 So, for example, Anyone who gets close to this topic, it's a 50-50 chance they're just going to raid your home and indict you.

00:39:48.000 I'm just being honest.

00:39:49.000 So you have to be willing to go to prison for the rest of your life, if you even engage on it.

00:39:54.000 Oh, geez.

00:39:54.000 I'm not.

00:39:55.000 Well, I'm not joking.

00:39:56.000 Here they're coming for us.

00:39:57.000 But guys, you guys realize that, like, if you're not currently, like, probably going to go to jail, you're not involved enough.

00:39:57.000 Well, no, of course.

00:40:06.000 And if you're laughing, then, like, what are you doing?

00:40:10.000 I mean, seriously, I'm seeing what's going on here.

00:40:12.000 Like, they're throwing grandmas and gulags. 0.76

00:40:14.000 Like, they're throwing in Michigan, these poor grandmas that are on Medicare and Social Security are facing life in prison because they signed a piece of paper to be an alternate elector in Michigan.

00:40:23.000 Like, I mean, this is, at this point, we are so beyond the realm of normal America.

00:40:30.000 You should never do anything illegal, but people are not going to jail for doing something illegal.

00:40:35.000 Siaka Masakwai, who's an amazing American patriot locally here in California, a black Trump supporter, walked into the Capitol and walked out on January 6th and was hunted down by the feds for two years and has had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending himself and has now been indicted on crimes that could land him in jail for a couple years now that he's having his second baby, his wife is pregnant.

00:40:59.000 Or the crying grandma who went into the Capitol building and said a prayer for God's intercession over the nation, was just convicted last week by a jury of her peers and faces three years in federal prison.

00:41:12.000 Okay?

00:41:14.000 There is no going back from this.

00:41:15.000 The only way forward is through, and that is you have to change your attitude.

00:41:19.000 And I understand.

00:41:21.000 You might be a sunshine patriot.

00:41:25.000 What they talked about in the revolution.

00:41:26.000 The guys that fought the revolution during the summer, and then as soon as it got cold, they went back home to their farm because it was too cold.

00:41:32.000 There's a lot of sunshine patriots out there.

00:41:34.000 I get it.

00:41:35.000 But we're going to need a fighting army.

00:41:38.000 And when I mean fighting, I don't mean actual fighting. 0.98

00:41:40.000 The media takes all this crap out of context.

00:41:43.000 I mean a political fight, okay, where it's going to require the grit and the resolve where they might end up raiding all of our homes and throwing us in jail and consider it all a blessing. 0.96

00:41:53.000 For those of you that are Christians, what are you afraid of?

00:41:55.000 You shouldn't be afraid of that.

00:41:56.000 Consider persecution a blessing, right? 0.99

00:41:59.000 And so I know that might be really intense and really heavy because you're like, but I thought we lived in America.

00:42:04.000 We live in a place called America.

00:42:06.000 Go see my friends.

00:42:07.000 Where's Midas Gold Group over here?

00:42:09.000 Start buying gold so you can leave it for your kids when you're in prison.

00:42:11.000 They can't take it from your bank account.

00:42:14.000 I do want to make sure, though, that the media in the back here is that he did not say it was a bloodbath.

00:42:18.000 He did not say it will be a bloodbath.

00:42:20.000 I said it was a knife fight.

00:42:21.000 A knife fight, right?

00:42:22.000 A metaphorical knife fight.

00:42:24.000 But let me just say this, though, that the election integrity thing has spooked every major top-tier lawyer, every major Republican, because they're in self-preservation mode.

00:42:34.000 I'm just being honest.

00:42:34.000 That's where it is.

00:42:36.000 And in Arizona, they are contemplating more indictments of the alternate elector stuff, where these people signed pieces of paper in the 2020 election to be alternate electors, which has been done in the 1960 election.

00:42:49.000 It's totally fine.

00:42:50.000 And they're destroying their lives, and they're trying to throw them in prison.

00:42:52.000 And we, as Republicans, did we indict a single Democrat operative for illegal ballot chasing or ballot harvesting or the mule activity?

00:43:03.000 No.

00:43:04.000 Because they are serious about winning.

00:43:07.000 We want to lose comfortably.

00:43:09.000 Hate to be that brutally honest.

00:43:10.000 That's where we're at.

00:43:12.000 All right, one last question for you.

00:43:14.000 In that uplifting note, Jimmy.

00:43:15.000 I know.

00:43:16.000 But here's the thing.

00:43:16.000 Tell us something, though.

00:43:17.000 Here's the good news, is that you guys don't believe that.

00:43:20.000 So the only thing that needs to change is you need the leaders to mirror what the grassroots believe.

00:43:26.000 That's the ask.

00:43:27.000 If I was talking to a bunch of you and you're like, oh, Charlie, you know, you're exaggerating.

00:43:31.000 The country's fine.

00:43:33.000 Then, you know, but you guys are on fire for this and you want and deserve better leaders and you will get what you demand in politics.

00:43:40.000 Let me say that again.

00:43:42.000 In politics, you get what you demand over a period of time.

00:43:47.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:43:48.000 Now, just to wrap things up, and this isn't, I don't think, going to give us much of a happy note to wrap it on, but Speaker Johnson was just in Los Angeles last week, and he was with all of our elected representatives, all of our congressional leaders.

00:44:02.000 He knows that California, the path to victory in the House is going to come through California.

00:44:06.000 It did last time.

00:44:07.000 It will again.

00:44:09.000 My fear is that Trump gets elected, and the minute he pardons himself, the minute he sneezes, it's going to be impeachment palooza all over again.

00:44:18.000 So we need to make sure that while we get Trump elected, that we need to get congressional representation as well.

00:44:24.000 We need the House to stay in the hands of Republicans.

00:44:27.000 Can we?

00:44:28.000 No, I totally agree.

00:44:31.000 I have a ceasefire with Speaker Johnson right now.

00:44:34.000 You have a ceasefire?

00:44:35.000 That's why I asked.

00:44:36.000 Well, mine's just ramping up.

00:44:37.000 No, no, no, no.

00:44:38.000 You got to do a ceasefire.

00:44:39.000 Okay.

00:44:39.000 And I'll try to convince you.

00:44:41.000 Okay.

00:44:42.000 Not that I think he's doing a good job, which he knows that I'm very critical of him.

00:44:46.000 But when you have a one-seat majority, I temporarily am going to pull back the artillery.

00:44:50.000 So that's where I'm at.

00:44:51.000 And part of that is his fault.

00:44:52.000 Part of it's not his fault.

00:44:53.000 But you got Ken Buck.

00:44:54.000 You got Mike Gallagher.

00:44:55.000 Kevin McCarthy never should have resigned from his seat.

00:44:57.000 That thing is so outrageous, in my personal opinion.

00:44:59.000 You resign midterm.

00:45:00.000 It makes us less powerful.

00:45:02.000 Who else?

00:45:03.000 Oh, yeah, you kick out George Santos.

00:45:05.000 And so I personally, I'm advocating a ceasefire of Mike Johnson until we get an actual majority.

00:45:12.000 And you might say, oh, Charlie, we have to always keep the pressure on.

00:45:14.000 Yeah, okay, but I really don't want Speaker Jeffries this summer.

00:45:17.000 Like, that would be really, really good.

00:45:18.000 But, Charlie, there are simple rules like being able to read the bill.

00:45:22.000 Of course, I agree with all that.

00:45:23.000 Totally simple.

00:45:23.000 What I mean by ceasefire is like, I'm no longer going to question his Christianity, right?

00:45:27.000 So that, which I was doing for a couple months.

00:45:31.000 All right, I didn't go that far.

00:45:32.000 Well, I'm pretty hard to say.

00:45:34.000 I just called him a pansy.

00:45:35.000 Yeah, well, that's fine.

00:45:36.000 No, what I did say back in November is how can you as a Christian look your kids in the eye and give secular, godless Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden everything they want?

00:45:45.000 That's what I said.

00:45:47.000 But I've ceasefired that, okay?

00:45:48.000 I'm no longer doing that.

00:45:50.000 I'm actually cheering for the House.

00:45:52.000 Here's the thing.

00:45:52.000 I actually think Speaker Johnson, to his credit, he picks up the phone when I call.

00:45:56.000 He communicates.

00:45:57.000 I can't say that about previous regimes.

00:46:00.000 That I think he actually is a conservative.

00:46:03.000 I think that he has no idea how to actually negotiate because I don't think he's ever been part of that.

00:46:09.000 I think that if he was given a 10-seat majority, I think you would be pleased and thrilled with what you would get in contrast to other previous speakers.

00:46:18.000 Why?

00:46:19.000 Because the fact he talks to me and talks to people like me means I think he actually is more of a grassroots conservative than people would give him credit for.

00:46:28.000 But I'm not going to cut excuses for him.

00:46:30.000 He never should have done that $1.2 trillion bill.

00:46:33.000 He should have shut down the government back in the fall.

00:46:35.000 He should have defunded the FBI.

00:46:37.000 So I'm not making excuses.

00:46:39.000 My mom taught me a great lesson.

00:46:40.000 You don't praise expected behavior.

00:46:42.000 So with a 10-seat majority, Charlie, you, me, Jen, I could take anybody in this room.

00:46:47.000 We could go be great speakers.

00:46:49.000 Well, but yes and no, that's even considered, that's actually a slim majority, right?

00:46:52.000 I just say that, like, you know, Paul Ryan had a 22-seat majority, right?

00:46:56.000 Boehner had a 30-seat majority, right?

00:46:58.000 So I'm just saying, like, in this, my perspective on Johnson right now, we have a one-seat majority.

00:47:04.000 Let's see what he does.

00:47:05.000 Let's see how we do in the House.

00:47:06.000 I do think he's going to be better than Hakeem Jeffries.

00:47:08.000 I don't think that's a question, right?

00:47:10.000 I think that we have to prevent that from happening.

00:47:12.000 And I think here's the word I'll use with Johnson.

00:47:16.000 I think that he is coachable, and I think that you can improve with it.

00:47:20.000 And again, I'm like one of his biggest critics.

00:47:22.000 But we'll see what happens.

00:47:24.000 I wouldn't want to be a one-seat majority guy where you only have, you literally can't get anything done.

00:47:30.000 It is an impossible job.

00:47:31.000 It's an impossible job.

00:47:32.000 Totally.

00:47:32.000 And again, I'm not an apologist for him.

00:47:34.000 You know that, Grant.

00:47:35.000 And so here's my priority.

00:47:38.000 If Trump wins the White House, we will get more seats in the House.

00:47:41.000 Okay.

00:47:41.000 And so it's all going to kind of go downstream.

00:47:44.000 So all of my efforts are on getting Donald Trump successfully elected president.

00:47:48.000 And a lot of these things will fix itself, right?

00:47:51.000 We will flip the Senate seat in Montana.

00:47:53.000 We'll flip Ohio.

00:47:54.000 We're going to win West Virginia.

00:47:56.000 And I know this surprises people because we've been battering moderates, but I hope Larry Hogan wins in Maryland, even though he's like the worst.

00:48:02.000 Like, I would rather have another Republican senator than a Democrat senator.

00:48:07.000 Again, in a deep blue seat like Maryland, let's go try to take one, right?

00:48:10.000 Just before you leave, I want to reiterate on that.

00:48:12.000 It's very important, folks.

00:48:13.000 Even a rhino is better than any Democrat.

00:48:17.000 In a blue state.

00:48:18.000 In a blue state, especially.

00:48:19.000 So go, Steve Garvey.

00:48:21.000 Yeah, no, 100%.

00:48:22.000 But this is why Mitt Romney was the biggest issue for us because it was a deep red state of Utah.

00:48:30.000 If you're representing a blue state, this is why I don't pick on Susan Collins, who's a senator from Maine. 0.99

00:48:35.000 Of course, she's a rhino. 1.00

00:48:36.000 She's a senator from Maine. 1.00

00:48:38.000 She also voted for Kavanaugh.

00:48:40.000 Honestly, God bless her for voting for Kavanaugh because we needed that.

00:48:43.000 And we never would have repealed Roe versus Wade without Kavanaugh.

00:48:46.000 So I'm glad that she did that.

00:48:48.000 So anyway, I could go through that ad nauseum, but here's the final message.

00:48:51.000 I know we're running out of time, right?

00:48:53.000 Which is this.

00:48:54.000 The times are tough.

00:48:55.000 The moment is heavy, but we must do our part.

00:49:00.000 You must act with agency.

00:49:02.000 Pray to the Lord and say, use me.

00:49:04.000 Here I am.

00:49:05.000 Get into the arena and no longer be a spectator.

00:49:07.000 Many of you say, Charlie, I do everything that's asked of me.

00:49:10.000 I watch Bannon's Roar Room.

00:49:11.000 I watch Fox News.

00:49:13.000 I bought the pillow.

00:49:13.000 I've done everything that's been asked of me.

00:49:16.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com, just so we're clear.

00:49:20.000 None of these promo codes.

00:49:22.000 Or Grant.

00:49:22.000 No, Kirk.

00:49:24.000 It's going to require more.

00:49:26.000 It's going to require nonstop resolve.

00:49:28.000 The country is worth saving.

00:49:30.000 What a beautiful moment.

00:49:32.000 Let's think about this positively, because you can reframe anything to a positive.

00:49:36.000 We live in a moment of the highest consequence since the American Civil War, where the Republic is literally hanging in the balance.

00:49:44.000 Everything we do matters.

00:49:45.000 Every speech, every person we contact, every individual we communicate with, which is why you should call the governor of Nebraska.

00:49:51.000 I'll quit on that.

00:49:52.000 But you guys, I love California Patriots.

00:49:55.000 You know why?

00:49:55.000 I speak at more California events more than anywhere else in the country.

00:49:58.000 It is close to Phoenix.

00:49:59.000 But also, but you guys, you have a resolve, a spirit, a can-do attitude, a never surrender that I wish, I wish the Republicans in Mississippi fought as hard as the grassroots Republicans like you guys do in California do.

00:50:17.000 Never lose that, Charlie.

00:50:18.000 Keep fighting, and God bless.

00:50:19.000 Amen.

00:50:20.000 Yeah.

00:50:21.000 Thank you, Charlie Kirk.

00:50:22.000 Guys, a big round of applause.
