00:01:12.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:25.000Last year, as you might remember, in the Netherlands, Geert Wilder's right-wing Party for Freedom got only 24% of the vote.
00:03:33.000That was enough to make them the largest party.
00:03:36.000So right there, you see, before we come to America, in all these other countries, conservatives are able to punch above their weight because of fracturing the vote.
00:03:50.000In 2016, when Donald Trump won the presidency, there were six candidates on the ballot.
00:03:59.000There was libertarian, there was independent party candidates.
00:04:03.000A lesser reported fact was that in the 2020 election, there were no other candidates on the ballot.
00:04:10.000It was Trump v. Biden, Trump v. Biden.
00:04:14.000To take another page out of Europe, the Democrats and Joe Biden and Mark Elias and Barack Obama, they created the 2020 election to effectively be a vote of no confidence against Donald Trump.
00:04:28.000And despite all that, Donald Trump still only fell 41,000 ballots short in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
00:04:37.000Now, the state of America is that we have a very fractured political landscape, and we wedge them into these two parties.
00:04:45.000We create coalitions before elections.
00:04:48.000The parliamentary system does the opposite.
00:04:50.000They create coalitions after elections.
00:04:54.000I am told time and time again by younger voters, Charlie, I'm going to vote third party.
00:04:58.000Why do I have to just choose between two parties?
00:05:01.000And that is why on this program, we have been waiting and waiting to see how that is going to manifest.
00:05:07.000To be honest, the pride, the hubris, and the cockiness that Joe Biden has that he's going to be able to bring every left-leaning person to fit within the Democrat Party, I think he is mistaken.
00:05:19.000If I were to isolate the error that Joe Biden and his campaign are currently making, it's that they believe that every single person who doesn't like Trump will automatically vote for Joe Biden.
00:05:31.0002024 is not 2020 because they might not like Trump, but they also certainly don't have strong opinions about Joe Biden.
00:05:42.000We received some monumental news this morning.
00:05:55.000Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will appear on Michigan's presidential ballot this fall after the Natural Law Party, by the way, I love the name of that party, Natural Law Party, that's a speech for a different time, nominated him to be the party's candidate his campaign announced Thursday.
00:06:14.000A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State's office confirmed to the free press Kennedy qualified for the ballot after receiving the party's nomination and filing the necessary documents.
00:06:25.000Kennedy will appear alongside his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, far left-winger.
00:06:29.000According to his campaign, Michigan is the eighth state in which Kennedy has secured ballot access.
00:06:35.000His campaign has scheduled an event Saturday evening, Sunday evening, in Royal Oak to celebrate getting on Michigan's ballot.
00:06:43.000Michigan is right within the margin of error.
00:06:46.000Donald Trump remains popular in the muscular class with the United Auto Workers in Detroit.
00:06:54.000Young people are defecting in record numbers from the Democrat Party, and young men especially are supportive of Trump.
00:07:01.000So in East Lansing at Michigan State University, in Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, you're going to see a little bit of movement in Donald Trump's direction.
00:07:10.000And you couple that with RFK Jr. being on the ballot, Michigan is now officially a battleground state that it's always been a battleground state, but it's now officially one that we have to really play in and go all in on.
00:07:26.000And this morning, that's why we're proud to announce at Turning Point Action, we are officially now going to be hiring an entire class of ballot chasers in the state of Michigan with this breaking news.
00:07:43.000This morning, a new Fox News poll that shows when RFK is factored in, RFK gets 9% of the vote in the state of Michigan.
00:07:54.000Joe Biden gets 40% of the vote in the state of Michigan.
00:07:57.000And Donald Trump gets 42% of the vote.
00:08:01.000And that does not factor in the other now fourth party candidate.
00:08:08.000Again, this is becoming more and more like a European style election.
00:08:14.000This is no longer binary Republican v. Democrat Trump v. Biden.
00:08:18.000No, this feels as if it's a German election, a Dutch election.
00:08:25.000This is much closer to who can get to 42 or 43%, because we can't forget that there is another raging lunatic running for the presidency who very well might get on the ballot in Michigan.
00:08:42.000And his biggest issue is the war in Gaza.
00:08:48.000Remember, there's over 250,000 voters, Muslim voters in the state of Michigan, and probably another 100 to 200,000 that are sympathetic to the Arab Muslim cause in the state of Michigan.
00:08:58.000A massive and significant voting block, both in Flint, Michigan and Dearborn, Michigan.
00:09:03.000I'm talking, of course, about Cornell West and his new running mate, Melina Abdullah.
00:09:12.000Melina Abdullah, just by the name, will be easy for Muslims to vote for.
00:09:20.000A name like Abdullah or someone like Joe Biden, who they believe has partnered up and cozied up with Israel, the apartheid state?
00:10:02.000Dr. West, I mean, it does sound like you will not say that if Hamas were to just release the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire, that they should do that.
00:10:12.000Do you believe that they should do that?
00:10:13.000One, I'm saying that Nathan Yahoo is not trustworthy.
00:10:18.000He is going right after the Palestinian Muslim vote.
00:10:25.000West Abdullah, Kennedy Shanahan, you're witnessing the creation of an unprecedented presidential election where a plurality, not a majority, can get you to victory, similar to how Trudeau won in Canada and similar to the 1992 presidential election that we have mentioned before.
00:10:47.000And it's time for us to go all in on the beautiful state of Michigan.
00:10:54.000You all know how your tax dollars have been used to push progressive politics in public schools while math and English scores decline.
00:11:02.000For years, America's biggest asset managers have been doing the same thing, using your retirement savings to push their politics, their DEI and ESG agenda.
00:11:11.000Without your consent and at your expense, there's an alternative.
00:12:50.000Even as Cleveland moved out of the White House the following spring, his wife supposedly told the staffer to take good care of the building's furniture because, quote, I want everything just as it is for when we come back four years from now.
00:13:03.000It was a bold boast, but it came true.
00:13:06.000Just like Trump, there was little doubt that Cleveland would be the party's champion again four years later.
00:13:12.000He romped to a win at the first ballot at the 1892 nominating convention.
00:13:17.000And just like Biden, meanwhile, President Harrison suffered from surging prices and a divided party.
00:13:25.000The 1892 election, just like this year's, had a formidable populist third-party candidate, Jave Weaver, of the literal populist party.
00:13:36.000And if you look at the results of the 1892 presidential election, it is eerily similar to the presidential election of 1992, 100 years apart.
00:13:51.000Grover Cleveland's third election was much stronger than either of his first two.
00:13:58.000In 1884, Cleveland had won 20 states with 219 electoral votes.
00:14:03.000Eight years later, he won 23 states with more than 277.
00:14:09.000The same way that you have RFK that's hovering around 10%, 12%, in that 1892 presidential election where Grover Cleveland won back the White House, the only president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms.
00:15:07.000And because of how Joe Biden and or Benjamin Harrison have been unable to govern the country, candidates like RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West are ascendant.
00:15:22.000Grover Cleveland won in the 1892 presidential election because candidates were able to compare memories, data, facts, and figures from four independent terms that were served next to each other.
00:15:39.000In all of American history, that has never happened until now.
00:15:45.000The 1892 presidential election and the 2024 presidential election are the only two where voters can say these four years, these four years.
00:15:56.000I was asked recently at a donor event in Palm Springs, Charlie, what should Trump run on?
00:16:14.000Even people who hate Trump, including some of the attendees at this event that I was at, raising money for Turning Point, who are not Trump fans, but they still enjoyed Turning Point and they enjoyed the dialogue.
00:16:56.000We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:17:00.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:17:02.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:17:07.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:17:13.000Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:17:50.000Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.
00:17:55.000Without getting into too many private details, I'm going to just make this a short but exciting update.
00:18:00.000Feeling very good about what's happening in Nebraska.
00:18:03.000The governor is a terrific man and a great leader, and I'm feeling bullish.
00:18:07.000And the vibe on the ground is very good.
00:18:10.000I don't want to disclose any private conversations here, but the governor, I have full expectation that he's going to bring this across the finish line with in partner with the unicameral there in Lincoln.
00:18:23.000So I'm not going to share any more than that, except feeling good.
00:18:27.000And we really believe that the Nebraska Republicans are ready to be heroes.
00:18:31.000And they will be celebrated by millions of people.
00:18:57.000So as I mentioned, at Turning Point Action, I literally authorized this morning.
00:19:00.000I was up super early, prepping for the show, and I was going through all the Michigan data polling, all the polling data from Michigan, and RFK on the ballot.
00:20:50.000This is more and more like a European parliamentary type election where it is about pluralities, not majorities.
00:20:58.000And again, there have been American elections that have been like this.
00:21:02.000The 1992 presidential election, the 1892 presidential election.
00:21:07.000Here's one example of many, and I want to play them, of how the Kennedy family has now been dispatched.
00:21:15.000Barack Obama, Mark Elias, David Axelrod, all the smart people in the Democrat Party, they are now deploying RFK's blood to try and slow down his momentum because they know RFK is peeling far more from Democrats than he is from Republicans.
00:22:20.000This is, I want to play the sequence of tape.
00:22:22.000This is Carrie Kennedy, the sister of Bobby Kennedy, who is saying that Trump is the most anti-Democratic president in history, spewing dangerous conspiracy theories on climate, vaccines, windmills, and voter fraud.
00:22:43.000As Donald Trump proudly brags about overturning Roe v. Wade, rolling Blackfoot back the clock 50 years to when women couldn't make our own health care decisions, President Biden is fighting to get our freedoms back.
00:23:40.000And I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but he is a man of courage.
00:23:44.000You can't imagine, it's not easy to have your family to go up and to talk about you that way and to basically say we have to defeat my brother.
00:23:56.000But he's still running because I think RFK is a true believer in a more sensible liberal Democrat.
00:24:04.000Again, I think that RFK is a radical environmentalist.
00:24:22.000He said he will be a dictator on day one, even saying he wants to suspend the Constitution so he can go after his enemies, after his critics, after the press.
00:24:35.000He is running to use his power to punish his enemies, silence his opponents, and incite more chaos, division, and political violence with his extreme agenda.
00:25:56.000The wealthiest counties in America used to be around our industrial base.
00:26:00.000Now the wealthiest counties in America are around the imperial capital, the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:26:09.000And Detroit remembers when they were once a great city, and they want to be a great city again, and they can be a great city again.
00:26:15.000And make no mistake, Donald Trump is doing better with black voters.
00:26:19.000He's doing better with younger voters.
00:26:21.000Democrats are doing worse with Muslim voters.
00:26:24.000And then you bring this RFK equation in.
00:26:27.000At the very least, the emphasis on Michigan that we are going to do from turning point action, having this big event with Trump, at the very minimum, it makes Joe Biden now have to spread out his turf.
00:26:41.000And then coupled with the bullish trend in Nebraska, someone's going to have to go campaign in Nevada.
00:26:50.000In fact, I feel so good about where Nebraska is headed, we might have to start standing up some operation in Nevada, at least in Clark County.
00:26:58.000See, Nevada is really just two counties.
00:30:23.000I'm told millions and millions of people are watching this.
00:30:26.000And so Ryan just sent me all the TikTok data.
00:30:29.000Again, I'm not a huge fan of TikTok, but TikTok, TikTok is the mail and ballots of social media.
00:30:37.000It's either you're going to use what is in front of us to win and to try to convince a generation around our value system, or we're just going to complain and lose.
00:30:48.000So Ryan sends me all this demographic data on TikTok.
00:31:39.000We had 50 million views on TikTok just last week.
00:31:42.000Now, part of the data that we're analyzing here on the TikTok is quite interesting because it shows that our biggest demographic are men ages, you know, 18 to 40.
00:31:55.000And in the cities are quite interesting.
00:31:57.000The cities are Houston, Chicago, Atlanta.
00:32:01.000And the Chicago, Atlanta one is very interesting because if you have young men that are watching you in Chicago, Atlanta, that means you have a fair amount, and you can see this in the comments of black and Hispanic men.
00:32:16.000I know in the, first of all, the comment section from people that stop us on the street, from people that attend our turning point events, from people that get involved with Blexit, there's a growing number of amazing black and Hispanic patriots that are behind the work we're doing at Turning Point USA and believe in our value system and are sick of what they are seeing.
00:32:34.000A very influential person in black America is Stephen A. Smith.
00:33:02.000When I think about Donald Trump, I think about this case in New York.
00:33:06.000I mean, I'm looking at the Democrats right now.
00:33:09.000And again, primarily, I have voted Democrat throughout my life, but I'm utterly disgusted with what I'm seeing because it seems to me that they're trying to use the law and the courts.
00:33:17.000They've clearly politicized this thing with Donald Trump because they can't come up with a strategy to offset the momentum.
00:34:52.000Axel Rodd and James Carville have been sounding the alarm.
00:34:55.000Remember, Trump is not a typical candidate.
00:34:58.000This is a bottom-up populist movement.
00:35:00.000And with a buffet line of choices and multiple candidates and this trending towards a plurality wins, not a majority wins, coupled with the fact that there's nothing more they can throw at Trump.
00:35:12.000He's literally standing trial for a felony and his numbers don't go down.
