00:00:42.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created Turning Point USA.
00:00:51.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:35.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory, and that's when we decided to give up.
00:01:42.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited to.
00:01:50.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:01:53.000With the biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:01:59.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:02:01.000Charlie Kirk, the vaccine Ramaswamy, Governor Christy Nolan, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Bowens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, and more.
00:02:23.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:29.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:10.000I don't like shirts that sometimes you have to take a breath to read, right?
00:03:13.000Like 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.
00:04:22.000I 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.
00:04:39.000That's what they want their money spent on.
00:04:41.000They 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.
00:05:01.000Hey, Charlie, thanks for having me on.
00:05:03.000You 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.
00:05:13.000And 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.
00:05:27.000Let's trust unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists and House leadership.
00:05:31.000It's like everything wrong with American politics these days at all levels.
00:05:41.000We'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.
00:06:00.000And we have a major problem with weak establishment, really Democrat-like Republicans in the state of South Carolina.
00:06:07.000And we've been shaking things up and beating them at every turn.
00:06:10.000And now I'm running for U.S. Congress, ready to take the same energy and fight to Washington if the people have it.
00:06:18.000Because look, being in Congress is not for the faint of heart.
00:06:21.000We got some great people there, Eli Crane, Ana Paulina.
00:06:24.000What type of leader would you be in the U.S. Congress, sir?
00:06:29.000Yeah, very much looking forward to joining the Freedom Caucus.
00:06:32.000You 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.
00:06:44.000And 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.
00:06:54.000They hate us and they hate what we stand for and they hate that we fight for our constituents.
00:06:58.000So I've been up against the ringer many, many times and actually won.
00:07:03.000And this is the kind of energy that we need in Washington.
00:07:06.000The 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.
00:08:20.000Actually, early voting is going on right now today.
00:08:22.000And we're in the closest race in the country right now.
00:08:25.000I'm running against an establishment figure that's one of McCarthy's, you know, sick offense for lack of a better word.
00:08:32.000He 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.
00:08:42.000There'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.
00:16:11.000But 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.
00:16:24.000And 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.
00:16:32.000I am at 50-50 right now that we are running against Joe Biden.
00:17:09.000But that Democrat staffers, they were quietly sending Democrat staffers, three staffers to Minnesota, high level, to go try and stop the bleeding.
00:17:16.000This is why Joe Biden is going to downtown Philadelphia to stop the bleeding with black voters.
00:17:59.000Remember as a kid, your parents and grandparents making you try all the vegetables on your plate or when they coaxed you to eat fruit instead of sweets?
00:18:05.000That's because they knew what was good for you.
00:18:08.000And it's truer today than ever before.
00:18:10.000You need to eat your fruits and veggies.
00:18:11.000There's no substitute for a healthy diet, but there is Balance of Nature.
00:18:15.000Their products are gluten-free and non-GMO, and they contain no added sugars or synthetics.
00:18:20.000If you're looking for something to make you feel better naturally, you should definitely try Balance of Nature today.
00:18:25.000Eat your fruits and veggies every single day with Balance of Nature.
00:18:28.000I started taking Balance of Nature the day I decided I was ready to feel better.
00:19:17.000No, I agree with you, and that's why I thought you wrote a great op-ed about why Trump should be picking JD Vance.
00:19:22.000Look, there are many, many things that JD brings to the picture that other candidates don't.
00:19:29.000One, I think that he is by far the best person on camera to defend Trump.
00:19:33.000You 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.
00:19:45.000And I think that JD does the best job at that.
00:19:47.000JD can fundraise for Trump, and JD will be an agreement with Trump on the big issues.
00:19:54.000There's a lot of conversations over what is America first?
00:19:58.000What does it mean to be America first?
00:20:00.000Well, on the issues of immigration restrictionism, JD Vance is the only one leading the path of those three.
00:20:07.000Of anti-interventionalist foreign policy, JD Vance is the only one.
00:20:11.000And of a trade policy that benefits American workers primarily, JD is the only one.
00:20:16.000And 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.
00:20:27.000And lastly, but not least, I think the most important thing is that this election, Trump is doing very well in the southern states.
00:20:34.000This election will be primarily based upon the Midwest.
00:20:40.000I think Trump is easily going to win in a lot of southern states.
00:20:43.000He's going to need one of those three things.
00:20:45.000JD 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.
00:20:54.000Yeah, it is going to be a blue-collar decision.
00:20:58.000So it's going to be blue-collar states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, as you aptly put it.
00:21:06.000They say, but he wasn't exactly on board for the Trump thing back in 2016.
00:21:10.000I actually think that works to his advantage.
00:21:14.000I told that to the president yesterday.
00:21:15.000The president said, you know, I love JD, you know, obviously, you know, strongly considering it, but he wasn't always with me.
00:21:20.000I 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.
00:21:28.000If he was just picking people who were with him in 2016, early on in 2016, it would be like six people.
00:21:36.000Because most of the Republican Party was opposed to him.
00:21:38.000There is, I mean, Mark Rubio ran against him in 2016.
00:21:42.000I 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.
00:21:51.000And I say that as somebody who supported him the day he came down the escalator.
00:21:54.000As soon as he said, you know, we need a wall, I was like, this is my guy.
00:21:59.000So I don't behold, I don't have a grudge to anybody who wasn't with him the first day.
00:22:05.000I wasn't, I don't have a grudge against anybody who wasn't with him the first 100 days of his administration.
00:22:09.000I 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.
00:22:22.000He saw what the Trump presidency brought to this country and became a supporter and became one of the biggest advocates.
00:22:31.000And as the senator, probably the biggest advocate.
00:22:34.000And 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.
00:22:47.000And 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.
00:24:18.000And 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.
00:24:26.000I think he could possibly be a majority leader one day.
00:24:28.000I 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.
00:24:35.000You know, it's funny, as we have been promoting JD on this program, the audience agrees overwhelmingly.
00:24:40.000And 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.
00:25:42.000So just reiterate this one more time, Ryan.
00:25:46.000When you're looking at the criteria of what he needs most, loyalty, but you said something, harmony in Donald Trump's America First Instincts.
00:26:38.000This is going to be a long, long, long process to try and fix this and fix the problems in this country.
00:26:46.000And 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.
00:27:05.000There's just no, there's no one even close.
00:27:09.000So I want you to opportunity here, Ryan, a couple minutes remaining, talk about the very important work that you are doing with school boards.
00:27:31.000So I founded the 1776 Project PAC, which is a school board pack nationwide.
00:27:35.000We've been involved in over 225 school board victories across the country.
00:27:41.000And 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.
00:27:59.000And by focusing primarily on what speaks to that local community, school boards are like snowflakes, I say.
00:28:05.000They look alike, but they're all different.
00:28:07.000And we have been primarily working with local communities, with mom and dad groups and parent groups across this country.
00:28:15.000You 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.
00:30:26.000And if Trump is close to Tide in Virginia, then he's probably very close to it in Minnesota as well.
00:30:30.000There's also huge Muslim population, less so Hispanic, but a lot of suburbanites who may be feeling that the Biden administration has failed them.
00:31:08.000Look, the most important thing people have to remember about Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan is they are 90 to 95%.
00:31:13.000The voting electorate is 90 to 95% black and white.
00:31:17.000So 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.
00:31:32.000It's not Texas, it's not Arizona, it's not Florida.
00:31:35.000It 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.
00:31:44.000They will make up 40 to 50 percent of the voters in these states.
00:31:48.000If Trump can turn them out, he will win.
00:31:51.000He will win regardless of what Democrats try to do.
00:31:55.000This is very much a baseline election.
00:31:58.000The polls have not changed in this country in six months.
00:32:04.000I 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.
00:32:14.000It is very likely that where people's opinions are going to go is where they are now.
00:32:20.000And in that case, you need the base to show up and you can show up in full force.
00:32:23.000You need the white working class to show up.
00:32:26.000That's where you need to look at spending your time.
00:32:28.000That's a vice president who can speak to those voters.
00:32:31.000That's why we spoke before that, why J.D. Man has to be the best candidate for vice president.
00:32:35.000Those are going to decide this next presidential election more than any other group, the white working class of those three states.
00:32:42.000Ryan, thank you for the great commentary and thanks for your time.
00:33:55.000We 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.
00:34:05.000We protect other countries, but we don't protect our own country.
