00:02:51.000 Okay, everybody, we are live at our Young Women's Leadership Summit.

00:02:55.000 That shot looks great, Brian.

00:02:57.000 Good job.

00:02:58.000 You almost seen my 1776 shirt.

00:03:00.000 I love this shirt.

00:03:01.000 Andrew, we got to get this at charliekirk.com.

00:03:04.000 This is just, it's classy.

00:03:05.000 It tells the whole story, right?

00:03:08.000 It's understated.

00:03:10.000 I don't like shirts that sometimes you have to take a breath to read, right?

00:03:13.000 Like yesterday, some people at the Turning Point event, they had these shirts that says, I'm a proud American patriot and like nine different things.

00:03:20.000 It's too much.

00:03:21.000 We're at our Young Women's Leadership Summit here at tpusa.com.

00:03:24.000 That is tpusa.com.

00:03:27.000 I just want to show kind of some of the aesthetics of the women's summit.

00:03:29.000 Then we have a great guest here that I want to introduce. 1.00

00:03:31.000 Just look here at CUT 188. 0.94

00:03:33.000 This is the room that will be packed with thousands of young women from across the country.

00:03:38.000 Now, some of you might say, well, Charlie, that is awfully feminine looking.

00:03:41.000 Exactly.

00:03:42.000 It is a young women's leadership summit.

00:03:44.000 I kind of love the vibe.

00:03:45.000 I like the green.

00:03:46.000 I like the.

00:03:47.000 Let's go to the next one: Cut 189.

00:03:49.000 What is the best description of that?

00:03:52.000 Can we get 189?

00:03:54.000 Look at that.

00:03:55.000 It's very, there's a word for this.

00:03:58.000 No, no, no.

00:03:59.000 What is horticulture?

00:04:01.000 Thank you.

00:04:02.000 Brian, very homestead.

00:04:04.000 Yeah, I love it.

00:04:05.000 Horticultural.

00:04:07.000 Yeah.

00:04:08.000 Okay.

00:04:08.000 Joining us now is Adam Morgan, South Carolina state representative.

00:04:12.000 He's running for South Carolina's fourth district.

00:04:15.000 Adam, welcome to the program.

00:04:16.000 Adam, I want to give you a nice intro here of a video we played earlier.

00:04:20.000 Let's play CUP 186.

00:04:22.000 I get that the people in Columbia, that the lobby wants me to either not vote or to vote green on this, but my constituents want me to vote red and they want their tax money spent on core government functions on their roads, on their schools.

00:04:39.000 That's what they want their money spent on.

00:04:41.000 They don't want us in here trying to play this government planning thing where we and our bureaus can figure out where the jobs should be, who should be employed, how much money should be allocated where in the private sector.

00:04:51.000 It never works.

00:04:52.000 It's socialism.

00:04:53.000 It's never worked anywhere before.

00:04:55.000 So what are we doing to kind of do it here?

00:04:57.000 Adam, welcome to the program.

00:04:58.000 Tell us about you and your race, man.

00:05:01.000 Hey, Charlie, thanks for having me on.

00:05:03.000 You know, you missed the best part of the clip where the Democrat literally comes on and says, you're telling us we should listen to the folks back home over the experts in the Commerce Department.

00:05:13.000 And it was just baffling to hear the entire worldview of the establishment come out of someone's mouth and say, let's not listen to the people back home, the common man, the constituent that we represent.

00:05:27.000 Let's trust unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists and House leadership.

00:05:31.000 It's like everything wrong with American politics these days at all levels.

00:05:35.000 I'm Adam Morgan.

00:05:36.000 I'm a state representative here in South Carolina.

00:05:39.000 I'm chair of the Freedom Caucus.

00:05:41.000 We're the ones that have made a lot of headlines over the last couple of years, shutting down pediatric transgender clinics, suing school districts and getting CRT out of the classroom and even getting kicked out of the Republican caucus for not signing a loyalty pledge to never talk about other people's voting records, to never campaign or call out other Republicans.

00:06:00.000 And we have a major problem with weak establishment, really Democrat-like Republicans in the state of South Carolina.

00:06:07.000 And we've been shaking things up and beating them at every turn.

00:06:10.000 And now I'm running for U.S. Congress, ready to take the same energy and fight to Washington if the people have it.

00:06:16.000 Well, tell us more about it then.

00:06:18.000 Because look, being in Congress is not for the faint of heart.

00:06:21.000 We got some great people there, Eli Crane, Ana Paulina.

00:06:24.000 What type of leader would you be in the U.S. Congress, sir?

00:06:29.000 Yeah, very much looking forward to joining the Freedom Caucus.

00:06:32.000 You know, at the state level, we've caused such a ruckus to the establishment and the money special interest groups that they spent about a million dollars trying to unseat me and my fellow 16 conservatives here.

00:06:44.000 And the media works with them, the left works with them, both establishment members of both parties work with them, and they all agree on one thing.

00:06:54.000 They hate us and they hate what we stand for and they hate that we fight for our constituents.

00:06:58.000 So I've been up against the ringer many, many times and actually won.

00:07:03.000 And this is the kind of energy that we need in Washington.

00:07:06.000 The folks you mentioned, they're some of my favorite members along with Bob Good and Chip Roy, Mary Miller, Ralph Norman, just the cohort that are there for all the right reasons.

00:07:16.000 They show up every single day.

00:07:18.000 They fight for the American public and they actually do something.

00:07:21.000 I mean, aren't you so sick of strongly worded statements like the Trump conviction and another example of the weaponization of government?

00:07:30.000 Everybody, every Republican issues a statement of how bad it is, and then they don't do anything.

00:07:34.000 They don't actually shut down the border.

00:07:36.000 They don't actually go at the budgets of these agencies that are undermining our constitutional republic.

00:07:43.000 And we've actually done it at South Carolina.

00:07:45.000 We have the blueprint, like show up, speak up, fight, put votes on the board, make them vote for it, and then share it with the public.

00:07:52.000 Go after rogue agencies actually threaten to cut their budgets.

00:07:56.000 That's how you fix the problems in Washington and in your state and in your local county.

00:08:01.000 So everybody's got to learn this blueprint.

00:08:03.000 It's actually pretty easy.

00:08:04.000 It's called Keeping the Republic and Being an Engaged Citizen.

00:08:07.000 So I love it, Adam.

00:08:08.000 And your race is Tuesday.

00:08:10.000 Is that right?

00:08:10.000 What part of South Carolina is that to kind of just give our, these are low turnout elections.

00:08:15.000 And it's votadamorgan.com.

00:08:17.000 Your race is Tuesday.

00:08:18.000 Yes, it's Tuesday.

00:08:20.000 Actually, early voting is going on right now today.

00:08:22.000 And we're in the closest race in the country right now.

00:08:25.000 I'm running against an establishment figure that's one of McCarthy's, you know, sick offense for lack of a better word.

00:08:32.000 He went around threatening the Freedom Caucus members and saying they were going to lose their committee assignments if they didn't stand down during the speakership fight to fix the rules of the House.

00:08:41.000 And it's neck and neck.

00:08:42.000 There's all these rumored polls that I'm ahead now, but we're ignoring that and focusing on getting every single voter to the polls to win this.

00:08:49.000 We have a chance to flip a seat.

00:08:51.000 It's a very conservative Republican area that has been underrepresented, represented by an establishment figure that doesn't do much.

00:08:59.000 You can check me out at voteadamorgan.com.

00:09:02.000 The election is actually Tuesday, and there's a lot of attention on it.

00:09:06.000 And it would be a huge win for the Freedom Congress and conservatives if we can pull it off.

00:09:10.000 And I believe that we're going to.

00:09:12.000 We were always called the fighting fourth.

00:09:14.000 It's Greenville and Spartanburg counties in the out of state.

00:09:17.000 We have Jim DeMant and Trey Gowdy.

00:09:18.000 We're former representatives.

00:09:20.000 And, you know, for the last six years, we haven't had a fighter and people are ready for someone who will go every single day and fight.

00:09:26.000 And that's the clip that went viral is just, you saw that.

00:09:29.000 You saw me fighting in my natural element.

00:09:31.000 And I look forward to taking that same energy to Washington.

00:09:34.000 Well, I love it.

00:09:35.000 So, Adam, help me understand why people South Carolina are some of the greatest in the country.

00:09:39.000 I love South Carolina.

00:09:40.000 Beautiful country, beautiful state, actually, and beautiful country.

00:09:44.000 Great natural beauty.

00:09:46.000 Why is it that South Carolina, despite having such wonderful people, have such crummy politicians?

00:09:51.000 People continually.

00:09:54.000 What is the Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley?

00:09:54.000 What is that?

00:09:56.000 Where does that come from?

00:09:57.000 What's going on?

00:09:58.000 I know.

00:09:59.000 We really do have an embarrassing cast of characters with a lot of the higher offices.

00:10:03.000 That's really one of the main things that motivated me is to actually take the high ground.

00:10:07.000 I'm sick of having weak do-nothing politicians in a lot of the higher elected offices in South Carolina.

00:10:13.000 It doesn't reflect well on us.

00:10:15.000 It definitely doesn't reflect our values.

00:10:17.000 The people here are rapidly conservative.

00:10:20.000 You know, this is where Lindsey Graham went and got booed on stage with Trump.

00:10:24.000 And Trump seemed confused.

00:10:25.000 And I was like, just you got to recognize that people up here, they don't like moderate do-nothing politicians.

00:10:32.000 They love Trump.

00:10:32.000 They love the Freedom Caucus.

00:10:34.000 And they're ready to have somebody that's actually going to fight for them.

00:10:37.000 And we also have open primaries, which is a huge issue in a lot of Republican states.

00:10:42.000 We have Democrats.

00:10:43.000 I've been aggressively knocking down doors.

00:10:45.000 I'm over 5,000 doors now, me personally.

00:10:48.000 And I keep hitting Democrats that vote in every Republican primary.

00:10:52.000 And they say, oh, I just, I don't want a really conservative.

00:10:56.000 I want somebody that's more moderate.

00:10:58.000 And so they flood the vote.

00:10:59.000 And that has the impact of getting the candidates that we've got.

00:11:03.000 So we're running a strong campaign, though.

00:11:05.000 It's a very informed district and things are looking great, but it's going to come down to every vote.

00:11:10.000 So get to the polls, grab your friend, tell everybody, anybody you know in Greenville, Spartanburg, you can let them know right now.

00:11:17.000 Go vote today or vote on Tuesday.

00:11:20.000 Adam, I love it.

00:11:21.000 Love the spirit.

00:11:21.000 Love the energy.

00:11:22.000 Thank you so much.

00:11:23.000 Let's bring you across the finish line here.

00:11:26.000 And again, what part of South Carolina is that?

00:11:28.000 What specific cities?

00:11:30.000 Yeah, Greenville and Spartanburg counties, Landrum, Welford.

00:11:34.000 It's all sorts of, they'll know it based on the counties.

00:11:37.000 And you can check me out at voteadamorgan.com.

00:11:39.000 Tell your friends, neighbors, relatives that might live in this part of the area.

00:11:43.000 We've got a big race going and it's very likely flip for conservatives.

00:11:47.000 And so let's get it over the finish line.

00:11:49.000 Adam, thanks so much.

00:11:50.000 God bless, man.

00:11:51.000 I hope you are successful and we need fighters like you.

00:11:53.000 Thank you.

00:11:54.000 Thanks for having me on, Charlie.

00:12:57.000 It's amazing.

00:12:58.000 Tonight, we're going to talk about this.

00:13:00.000 This is with it's amazing.

00:13:01.000 We have so much going on, and we did not put the same gusto to promote our Young Women's Leadership Summit as we did in years past.

00:13:08.000 You know, it's going to be our biggest ever.

00:13:10.000 Just boom.

00:13:11.000 We have Alex Clark, who's opening it up.

00:13:13.000 We have Megan Kelly tonight, Candace Owens, Allie Stuckey.

00:13:16.000 And let me just say, Megan Kelly has been 10 out of 10 on the lawfare stuff. 0.57

00:13:20.000 10 out of 10.

00:13:22.000 Megan Kelly has been unbelievable.

00:13:24.000 Laura Trump, Alina Haba, Riley Gaines, Yanmi Park, huge speakers tonight in San Antonio, Texas.

00:13:32.000 And then next week, we have our people's convention, tpaction.com/slash peoples.

00:13:39.000 That is tpaction.com/slash peoples.

00:13:43.000 I want to get into a story here that I think is very important.

00:13:47.000 And it's critical that we don't take our eye off the ball.

00:13:50.000 Yesterday, there was a series of Fox News polls that came out.

00:13:54.000 And one of the polls showed that Donald Trump could potentially win the state of Virginia.

00:14:01.000 Now, look, if that ends up happening, that means we are part of an election bigger than all of us.

00:14:06.000 It is a widespread movement.

00:14:10.000 So here is the recent polling from Fox News.

00:14:12.000 And this is notable because it shows that the conviction did not meaningfully move people's opinion.

00:14:19.000 That's why these polls are so interesting.

00:14:21.000 If you watch this program or listen to this program enough, you know I don't like getting the polls too much.

00:14:25.000 I say, get to work, get to work, chase ballots.

00:14:27.000 Get to work, get to work, chase ballots.

00:14:28.000 I don't like getting too deep into the poll watching stuff.

00:14:32.000 But these series of polls should terrify the left for multiple reasons.

00:14:38.000 And Virginia is fascinating because it is so close to the regime.

00:14:44.000 Virginia is basically an attachment to the kingdom of Washington, D.C.

00:14:51.000 So, new poll came out yesterday, Fox News poll, that showed Donald Trump up five points in Arizona.

00:15:00.000 My answer: get back to work.

00:15:03.000 Shows Donald Trump up four points in Florida, which is really amazing when you think about it.

00:15:09.000 Now, that's actually more than what Donald Trump won Florida by in 2020.

00:15:14.000 And it's in a very healthy place.

00:15:15.000 Nevada, Donald Trump, up five points.

00:15:17.000 Andrew swears that Trump is going to win Nevada.

00:15:20.000 He is convinced of it, which means if that is the case, Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska, we got to get that done.

00:15:28.000 We are not forgetting it.

00:15:29.000 And I have a whole text chat going on about that.

00:15:32.000 And then somebody at Fox News had the great idea, and I don't mean this sarcastically: let's pull Virginia.

00:15:38.000 Let's pull Virginia.

00:15:40.000 And it says that Donald Trump is tied, tied with Joe Biden in Virginia.

00:15:52.000 I was texting with a reporter this morning, and he says this is sending shockwaves in Democrat circles.

00:15:59.000 The latest polling average has Donald Trump up in Minnesota.

00:16:03.000 Let me be clear.

00:16:04.000 It is unlikely that Donald Trump ends up winning Virginia and Minnesota.

00:16:09.000 Unlikely, but not impossible.

00:16:11.000 But these things move in waves, meaning if you are doing even competitively in Minnesota, Donald Trump up half a point in Minnesota, Donald Trump tied in Virginia.

00:16:22.000 I am getting closer and closer.

00:16:24.000 And Blake, who is very, very tough to convince on this stuff, yesterday out of nowhere, Blake is like, yeah, I think they might pull Biden.

00:16:32.000 I am at 50-50 right now that we are running against Joe Biden.

00:16:36.000 I'm 50-50.

00:16:38.000 But they're kind of stuck with it because they have this nominating convention and there's Biden loyalists and Biden is white knuckling.

00:16:45.000 And if they bring in Kamala Harris, the numbers don't get that much better. 0.57

00:16:48.000 Show 193.

00:16:49.000 That is Minnesota, June 7th, based on 11 polls.

00:16:53.000 Donald Trump up 0.6.

00:16:55.000 Again, if it's even competitive in Minnesota, and by the way, you know what those polls show?

00:16:59.000 Producer Andrew got information from reporters that Democrats were quietly sending, quietly sending, I'm sorry, Donald Trump down 0.6.

00:17:08.000 I'm sorry.

00:17:09.000 But that Democrat staffers, they were quietly sending Democrat staffers, three staffers to Minnesota, high level, to go try and stop the bleeding.

00:17:16.000 This is why Joe Biden is going to downtown Philadelphia to stop the bleeding with black voters. 0.99

00:17:21.000 Let's put 166 back up.

00:17:23.000 Arizona, Trump up five.

00:17:24.000 We are not celebrating at all.

00:17:26.000 I will not celebrate until those electoral votes are certified and we are full forward on that.

00:17:33.000 We got a lot of work to do.

00:17:34.000 We got a lot of ballots to chase, a lot of voters to register, but that's a healthy sign.

00:17:38.000 Florida up four, Nevada up five.

00:17:55.000 What do you think?

00:18:53.000 Joining us now is Ryan James Gerduski.

00:18:56.000 You could check him out at natpop.substack.com.

00:19:00.000 Ryan, welcome program.

00:19:01.000 Ryan, yesterday I was with JD Vance.

00:19:03.000 He was traveling with the president across the country.

00:19:06.000 There are really three finalists remaining for the vice president.

00:19:10.000 It is Marco Rubio, Doug Bergam, and JD Vance.

00:19:14.000 I think JD Vance is by far the best selection.

00:19:16.000 What are your thoughts, Ryan?

00:19:17.000 No, I agree with you, and that's why I thought you wrote a great op-ed about why Trump should be picking JD Vance.

00:19:22.000 Look, there are many, many things that JD brings to the picture that other candidates don't.

00:19:29.000 One, I think that he is by far the best person on camera to defend Trump.

00:19:33.000 You know, Trump's going to go into the presidency with a Democratic Party that wants to put him in jail, extremely hostile media, and he's going to have to have an aggressive fighter who is going to support him 100% of the way.

00:19:45.000 And I think that JD does the best job at that.

00:19:47.000 JD can fundraise for Trump, and JD will be an agreement with Trump on the big issues.

00:19:54.000 There's a lot of conversations over what is America first?

00:19:58.000 What does it mean to be America first?

00:20:00.000 Well, on the issues of immigration restrictionism, JD Vance is the only one leading the path of those three.

00:20:07.000 Of anti-interventionalist foreign policy, JD Vance is the only one.

00:20:11.000 And of a trade policy that benefits American workers primarily, JD is the only one.

00:20:16.000 And I respect Bergham and Rubio a lot, but JD is by far and away the one who believes in the agenda that Trump put forward in 2016 more than anyone else does.

00:20:27.000 And lastly, but not least, I think the most important thing is that this election, Trump is doing very well in the southern states.

00:20:34.000 This election will be primarily based upon the Midwest.

00:20:38.000 Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.

00:20:40.000 I think Trump is easily going to win in a lot of southern states.

00:20:43.000 He's going to need one of those three things.

00:20:45.000 JD is the only Midwestern Canada candidate that can bring those states that can appeal to those voters in a special way that I don't know if Bergham or Rubio can.

00:20:54.000 Yeah, it is going to be a blue-collar decision.

00:20:58.000 So it's going to be blue-collar states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, as you aptly put it.

00:21:04.000 So some people criticize JD.

00:21:06.000 They say, but he wasn't exactly on board for the Trump thing back in 2016.

00:21:10.000 I actually think that works to his advantage.

00:21:14.000 I told that to the president yesterday.

00:21:15.000 The president said, you know, I love JD, you know, obviously, you know, strongly considering it, but he wasn't always with me.

00:21:20.000 I said, no, no, I said, I think that helps because you want to try to have people vote for you that might not have always been on board for your agenda.

00:21:27.000 What are your thoughts, Ryan?

00:21:28.000 If he was just picking people who were with him in 2016, early on in 2016, it would be like six people.

00:21:36.000 Because most of the Republican Party was opposed to him.

00:21:38.000 There is, I mean, Mark Rubio ran against him in 2016.

00:21:42.000 I don't know what Bergham believed, but other people who are his biggest advocates were 100% opposed to him when he first ran for office.

00:21:51.000 And I say that as somebody who supported him the day he came down the escalator.

00:21:54.000 As soon as he said, you know, we need a wall, I was like, this is my guy.

00:21:59.000 So I don't behold, I don't have a grudge to anybody who wasn't with him the first day.

00:22:05.000 I wasn't, I don't have a grudge against anybody who wasn't with him the first 100 days of his administration.

00:22:09.000 I think he earned respect and he earned respect from JD by his actions, not by being a celebrity, not by a way for him to make, you know, be a celebrity because JD was already a literary celebrity.

00:22:22.000 He saw what the Trump presidency brought to this country and became a supporter and became one of the biggest advocates.

00:22:31.000 And as the senator, probably the biggest advocate.

00:22:34.000 And I think that when you need a wartime vice president almost, in the sense that you will have a hostile Democratic Party, hostile media that wants to imprison this man, you know, I think JD will bring that perspective and bring that fight.

00:22:47.000 And he's earned, and Trump's Trump's garnered his respect by his actions, not by just a way to be close to somebody in the camera.

00:22:57.000 And that's important.

00:22:58.000 Yeah.

00:22:58.000 And so the finalists, I completely, I don't know what you get out of Bergham.

00:23:02.000 I have nothing against Doug Bergham.

00:23:04.000 I haven't always agreed to him.

00:23:05.000 We're live here actually on the largest radio station in North Dakota.

00:23:07.000 So we get a lot of Bergham emails.

00:23:09.000 But, you know, nothing really against him.

00:23:11.000 Marco, I've always liked Marco.

00:23:15.000 I've actually never got to know him very well, but Marco's definitely moving in that nationalist populist direction.

00:23:21.000 Can you comment on that, Ryan?

00:23:22.000 How Marco has really remade himself in the last three or four years?

00:23:26.000 Do you think that is sincere?

00:23:27.000 Do you think that transformation is real?

00:23:31.000 Or is that kind of just a little bit of showmanship to, let's just say, better configure to where the movement is?

00:23:39.000 I think that Senator Rubio is a very, probably the most effective legislator of the last eight years of getting stuff done.

00:23:49.000 Everything from the child tax credit expansion to other issues.

00:23:54.000 And on family policy primarily, I mean, Senator Rubio is one of the top leaders.

00:24:00.000 He is still a bit of a war hawker.

00:24:03.000 He's still not wonderful on immigration.

00:24:06.000 He's gotten a world better from where he was with Senator Schumer when he supported.

00:24:10.000 Gang of Apes.

00:24:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:24:13.000 I mean, that's who he was.

00:24:15.000 So he's gotten a lot better.

00:24:17.000 I think he's grown.

00:24:18.000 And I think that he could, I think if Senator Rubio stayed in the Senate for the next 10, 20 years, he could be a lion in the Senate.

00:24:26.000 I think he could possibly be a majority leader one day.

00:24:28.000 I just don't know if he'd be a good vice president, given the circumstances of where the country is now and where the party is reigning.

00:24:35.000 You know, it's funny, as we have been promoting JD on this program, the audience agrees overwhelmingly.

00:24:40.000 And I handed the president yesterday the results of our straw poll that shows the vast majority of our audience in favor of JD, including our both our one on our program and our one on Twitter.

00:24:49.000 75,000 people voted.

00:24:51.000 And it was 75,000.

00:24:52.000 And JD got right near 60%.

00:24:55.000 It was incredible.

00:24:56.000 And so it was so funny as I go through the names.

00:25:03.000 The one thing that people will say from Ohio is say, Charlie, we don't want JD as VP because he's an awesome senator.

00:25:10.000 I say, that's exactly.

00:25:11.000 So when the home state doesn't want, and you know what the people of Florida say, they said, yeah, we could lose Marco.

00:25:17.000 It's fine.

00:25:18.000 I was like, oh, no, okay, hold on a second.

00:25:19.000 Like, it tells you something.

00:25:21.000 It's just a little interesting.

00:25:22.000 Again, that's not scientific.

00:25:24.000 And again, I have nothing against Marco.

00:25:25.000 I think he has a huge role to play, and he is terrific on family stuff.

00:25:28.000 And he's legitimately pro-life.

00:25:31.000 And I actually don't hate the finalists.

00:25:33.000 I got to be honest.

00:25:33.000 I'm not saying that the finalists are necessarily that bad.

00:25:35.000 That was the results right there, Ryan.

00:25:37.000 I handed that to the president yesterday.

00:25:39.000 73,000 people voted in that.

00:25:42.000 So just reiterate this one more time, Ryan.

00:25:46.000 When you're looking at the criteria of what he needs most, loyalty, but you said something, harmony in Donald Trump's America First Instincts.

00:25:56.000 Why is JD Vance best at that?

00:25:58.000 What about JD Vance's worldview fits perfectly with Donald Trump's agenda for the country?

00:26:05.000 You know, I knew JD before he was ran for Senate.

00:26:08.000 I worked on the PAC side of his campaign.

00:26:11.000 So I know him pretty well.

00:26:13.000 JD understands that there is a real rot in American society that is affecting and killing the communities to which he came.

00:26:25.000 And that is not an easy, there's no easy answer.

00:26:28.000 There's no easy silver ball.

00:26:30.000 There's no flip you can switch to make everything kind of work and be better.

00:26:33.000 This is going to be a long, long, long process.

00:26:37.000 Sorry, my camera just fell off.

00:26:38.000 This is going to be a long, long, long process to try and fix this and fix the problems in this country.

00:26:46.000 And I think that on immigration, on protecting the American worker, on stopping the flow of drugs in this country, on stopping endless wars that kill people like JD, who served our country in the Marines, there's no one better than him.

00:27:05.000 There's just no, there's no one even close.

00:27:08.000 I think that's exactly right.

00:27:09.000 So I want you to opportunity here, Ryan, a couple minutes remaining, talk about the very important work that you are doing with school boards.

00:27:16.000 I've been watching from afar.

00:27:17.000 It's legit.

00:27:18.000 It is a PAC that is focused on winning back school board races, one of the most important things happening in the country.

00:27:25.000 Ryan, take an opportunity to walk our audience through it, how people can support it, all that good stuff.

00:27:30.000 Right.

00:27:31.000 So I founded the 1776 Project PAC, which is a school board pack nationwide.

00:27:35.000 We've been involved in over 225 school board victories across the country.

00:27:41.000 And we have managed to flip school boards in liberal areas, moderate areas, by focusing on huge issues, everything from the science of reading to critical race theory to transgender issues, issues that are very sexy in politics, issues that are not very sexy in politics.

00:27:59.000 And by focusing primarily on what speaks to that local community, school boards are like snowflakes, I say.

00:28:05.000 They look alike, but they're all different.

00:28:07.000 And we have been primarily working with local communities, with mom and dad groups and parent groups across this country.

00:28:13.000 And we've had enormous success.

00:28:15.000 You know, everything from the most recent big victory was we flipped the Shenandoah school board and they were able to reinstate Confederate names on schools.

00:28:24.000 And that was important.

00:28:25.000 It's important to preserve our history.

00:28:26.000 We've had everything from opioid education to increased reading to classical education public schools.

00:28:32.000 And we're really proud of our work.

00:28:33.000 And I think that we will do a lot more over the course of the next year and so coming up to more school board elections.

00:28:42.000 I love it.

00:28:43.000 How can people support you, Ryan, in that effort?

00:28:45.000 Just reiterate the website, please.

00:28:47.000 1776projectpact.com.

00:28:49.000 That's the website for very fitting, Ryan.

00:28:51.000 I'm wearing 1776 shirt.

00:28:54.000 Oh, there you go.

00:28:55.000 Perfect.

00:28:58.000 So, Ryan, your reaction to recent polling Trump and the margin of error in Minnesota and tide in Virginia.

00:29:04.000 Yeah, I mean, if you look at why Virginia is, first of all, I want to emphasize one thing.

00:29:09.000 No state lives in a bubble.

00:29:12.000 If you see Virginia moving right, it's because North Carolina is moving right.

00:29:15.000 It's because Georgia is moving right.

00:29:17.000 Trump has not Trump has led in Georgia in every poll since May of 2023.

00:29:25.000 In North Carolina, Biden's biggest pack is only spending $5 million, which is not a lot of money for such a big state.

00:29:33.000 All of these states are moving to the right.

00:29:35.000 And if you look at big groups of Democratic voters in Virginia, you're talking a lot of Southeast Asians and Muslims in Northern Virginia.

00:29:43.000 You're looking at Hispanics. 1.00

00:29:45.000 You're looking at suburbanite, all of which have been moving to the right or abandoning Biden and the Democratic Party.

00:29:52.000 Both have been working in Trump's favor in Virginia.

00:29:56.000 And now this is more than one poll.

00:29:57.000 I think this is four polls now that have Trump within the margin of error in Virginia, or rather, Biden leading the margin of error.

00:30:05.000 And Republicans in Virginia for the last three consecutive elections have gotten 51%, 49%, and 48%.

00:30:12.000 They have well overperformed in Virginia over the last three cycles.

00:30:17.000 So if there's a rightward movement in Virginia, we've been seeing it continuously.

00:30:22.000 So is it possible that Trump could be close to tide in Virginia?

00:30:25.000 Absolutely.

00:30:26.000 And if Trump is close to Tide in Virginia, then he's probably very close to it in Minnesota as well.

00:30:30.000 There's also huge Muslim population, less so Hispanic, but a lot of suburbanites who may be feeling that the Biden administration has failed them.

00:30:40.000 That is a really important analysis.

00:30:43.000 What do you have to say then, Ryan, about the national focus?

00:30:49.000 The state, out of the three blue wall states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, which one do you think is the one to go all in on?

00:30:54.000 It seems as if that is really going to be determinative.

00:30:57.000 Pennsylvania, for sure.

00:30:58.000 It is going to be, it is a very, very close state.

00:31:01.000 It's to the right of where Michigan is, not as right where it is, Wisconsin, but something's going on in Wisconsin.

00:31:07.000 They're very, very tough.

00:31:08.000 Look, the most important thing people have to remember about Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan is they are 90 to 95%.

00:31:13.000 The voting electorate is 90 to 95% black and white.

00:31:17.000 So the surge of Hispanic, the surge in Asian, the surge with Muslim populations, for example, that doesn't mean much in these very, very, very states with a very classical American electorate.

00:31:32.000 It's not Texas, it's not Arizona, it's not Florida.

00:31:35.000 It is going to depend on if Trump can get white working class people, people without a college degree, the white working class, out to vote.

00:31:44.000 They will make up 40 to 50 percent of the voters in these states.

00:31:48.000 If Trump can turn them out, he will win.

00:31:51.000 He will win regardless of what Democrats try to do.

00:31:55.000 This is very much a baseline election.

00:31:58.000 The polls have not changed in this country in six months.

00:32:02.000 Will they change in five more months?

00:32:04.000 I don't know, but it's not likely you're going to learn anything new about Biden or Trump unless there's a cataclysmic event that happens, a black swan event that happens.

00:32:14.000 It is very likely that where people's opinions are going to go is where they are now.

00:32:20.000 And in that case, you need the base to show up and you can show up in full force.

00:32:23.000 You need the white working class to show up. 1.00

00:32:26.000 That's where you need to look at spending your time. 0.96

00:32:28.000 That's a vice president who can speak to those voters.

00:32:31.000 That's why we spoke before that, why J.D. Man has to be the best candidate for vice president.

00:32:35.000 Those are going to decide this next presidential election more than any other group, the white working class of those three states.

00:32:42.000 Ryan, thank you for the great commentary and thanks for your time.

00:32:45.000 Really appreciate it.

00:32:45.000 Thank you.

00:32:46.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:32:47.000 Let's play Cut 195 as we outro a nice summary of yesterday.

00:32:52.000 Play Cut 195.

00:32:54.000 I'm thrilled to be back in beautiful Arizona with thousands and thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots.

00:33:03.000 Less than four years ago, I handed Joe Biden the strongest, most secure border in U.S. history.

00:33:09.000 The Biden invasion is no accident.

00:33:12.000 It's a deliberate demolition of our sovereignty.

00:33:16.000 Crooked Joe is also responsible for more women and children being sold into slavery than anyone else in modern history.

00:33:25.000 Fentanyl, 300,000 people are dying a year.

00:33:31.000 We are being invaded.

00:33:35.000 I want to send Joe Biden's illegal aliens back home where they belong. 1.00

00:33:39.000 They have to go back home.

00:33:47.000 I want to thank a special person, Charlie Kirk.

00:33:50.000 Apply to volunteer.

00:33:51.000 Let's win this November.

00:33:55.000 We will put the cartels out of business, and I will make clear to every federal department and agency that we must use any and all resources to stop this invasion of our country.

00:34:05.000 We protect other countries, but we don't protect our own country.

00:34:09.000 We're going to take care of it all.

00:34:11.000 We're going to make America greater than ever before.
