00:00:42.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:51.000Hundreds of people that even show up to a Trump rally are not registered to vote.
00:01:54.000Now, to be fair, some of them are registered to vote in irrelevant states like Colorado and California, and they've recently moved to Arizona and they haven't yet switched their registration.
00:02:51.000is going to provide America with a lens through which we can more accurately understand what the Donald Trump presidency is all about, which is what you exactly said, which is this is the unity candidate.
00:03:08.000If Donald Trump were being accurately perceived based on his policies alone, without the constant lying from the Democratic media, We would all be able to see that he is running a consensus campaign on the issues alone.
00:03:43.000has done is by standing next to him, RFK Jr.
00:03:46.000Who is pro-choice, who is pro-environment, who wants to make America healthy again, cares a lot about healthcare.
00:03:55.000What he's done is, is he has sort of filled out the image of Donald Trump to where we can now accurately see that this is not about left versus right.
00:04:04.000This is about a multiracial working class agenda to elevate America versus the oligarchy of the left.
00:04:13.000Yeah, and so this is such an exciting moment.
00:04:16.000We have Tulsi Gabbard, we have Elon Musk, who interestingly is kind of that oligarch mold, but he's a class traitor.
00:04:22.000That's what you kind of see as a common theme.
00:04:25.000Kennedy from Hyannisport, Massachusetts, class traitor.
00:04:27.000Trump from High Society, New York, class traitor.
00:04:30.000And in order to have a successful populist rebellion, you need bottom-up and just a couple people that were once part of that said oligarchy to defect and to represent the needs, wants, and interests of workers.
00:04:47.000I think it's not just top down, but also bottom up.
00:04:50.000I don't know if you saw, there was a very viral video of a young woman who was a volunteer at the DNC, which I was also at.
00:04:58.000And what she pointed out was something that I also noticed, which is, How absolutely astronomically wealthy all of the speakers at the DNC were.
00:05:09.000You had people who were millionaires and billionaires, celebrities, movie stars, musicians, the Obamas, right?
00:05:17.000People with a net worth of 50 million, 100 million dollars.
00:05:22.000I mean, if you combine the net worth of all of the people who spoke at the DNC, it would be more than the GDP of many small countries.
00:05:30.000And she was pointing this out, this volunteer who said that she has been a Democrat her whole life, and she simply could not connect to what was going on at the DNC.
00:05:39.000She felt like it was, you had these boxes that were for sale around the top of the arena for $500,000, and she said you had the rich people literally looking down at the delegates, at the average Americans, You know, as I put it in my piece, it's the sort of let them eat joy campaign, right?
00:06:00.000They are offering working class people who are struggling to feed their families the joy of the rich and powerful in exchange for their votes.
00:06:10.000And so I think this is becoming really, really obvious.
00:06:14.000And the contrast with the RNC, I mean, every minute of the RNC, You knew, if you were a struggling American, what Donald Trump was going to do on day one to make your life materially better, to make it easier for you to get to church and back, to make it easier for you to feed your family, you know, protein on a regular basis.
00:06:35.000That conscience is becoming very, very, very stark, and I think the addition of Bobby Kennedy Jr.
00:06:40.000to the Trump ticket has really added to it.
00:06:44.000The DNC was all vibes, all emotion, all feelings.
00:06:49.000Dare I say, and I mean no offense, hyper-feminine.
00:06:52.000It was not rooted in any sort of policy or substance.
00:06:58.000It seemed to have no concern about the suffering of the country.
00:07:02.000It still might work, but Batya, it was the opposite of populism.
00:07:06.000It was, you can say it's elitism, but it was so condescending, it's as if we're going to have our high society party when the rest of the country, in every single poll, in every conversation, 75% of the country is significantly suffering economically.
00:07:24.000They cannot pay their medical debt, they cannot pay for groceries, They cannot afford homes.
00:07:30.000But at the same time, the Democrat Joy Party might work because there's a corporate media infrastructure with its organs all over American society that have a lot of power.
00:07:44.000How do we defeat the vibes of the Democrat Party?
00:07:56.000They have time to watch MSNBC all day.
00:07:58.000It's just a known fact that people who are rich engage more politically.
00:08:04.000And that's why I think what you're doing, Charlie, is so freaking important because You are bringing it to the average American, to the working class American, to people who don't necessarily have the luxury to sit around watching cable news all day, but they know that they can come here and hear you talk about the plunder of the working class by these over-credentialed college elites who are the Democrats' base.
00:09:27.000I don't want to put words in your mouth.
00:09:28.000You know, I'm still undecided because she came out with this policy proposal where she was talking about sort of price controls.
00:09:35.000And I know everybody really doesn't like price controls, but that kind of when she said that, when she came out with her economic agenda, I thought, OK, all right, we're going to have you know, we're going to have now You have an election on the issues.
00:09:48.000You have the Democrats' model, which is the sort of redistributionist model, where they're going to say, okay, we're going to raise taxes on the wealthy.
00:10:00.000And then you have the Donald Trump option, which is the protectionist model, which says, no, we don't go at it by, you know, raising taxes on the rich and then giving that out to the working class.
00:10:10.000They don't want the taxes of rich people, right?
00:10:13.000They want their labor to reward them with the most modest version of the American dream.
00:10:18.000That's the Trump model, is you protect the dignity of the labor of working class people, and then you allow them to have more of their money, keep more of their money, and then buy the things that they need.
00:10:28.000And I thought, okay, great, let's see how this plays out.
00:10:31.000And at the time, I thought, wow, she has a real chance at this point, right?
00:10:35.000It seems sort of like things were going in her direction.
00:10:37.000I have to say, after the DNC, I do feel that, you know, things are sort of moving more in Donald Trump's favor again, because it was so light on policy, because there was so little there that a struggling American could sort of sink their teeth into.
00:10:58.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here as we gear up for another important election year.
00:11:01.000Remember that we vote every day with our dollar.
00:11:04.000One of the best ways to support America is by buying from local farms and ranches.
00:11:08.000Good Ranchers makes this easy by delivering 100% American meat to your door.
00:11:12.000When you shop with Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat for your family, but also supporting American farmers and ranchers.
00:11:18.000This year, instead of buying imported meat, cast your vote for American agriculture and local economy.
00:11:24.000I've used Good Ranchers meat for quite some time and they never disappoint.
00:11:27.000Whatever your choice of protein, you'll be pleased if you cast a vote for Good Ranchers.
00:11:32.000Use code KIRK for $25 off your order and your choice of free chicken breasts, ground beef, bacon, or wild-caught salmon for a year.
00:12:34.000Arizona is probably the state where RFK was strongest.
00:12:36.000A lot of independent voters, a lot of Maha voters, a lot of women that don't like Trump but they cannot stand Democrats.
00:12:42.000A lot of people that do not follow the entire vaccination schedule.
00:12:46.000RFK has a huge following in Arizona, and I am proud to announce we are going to be doing health-focused summits and events with RFK in Arizona from now to the election.
00:12:58.000Mom-centered, people-centered, health-centered, MAHA events, Make America Healthy Again, with RFK and with female influencers.
00:14:39.000Now, again, this polling could be a little off, but it's directionally correct because you know this by the breakdown of Gen Z. Baby Boomer women favor Kamala Harris by 20 points.
00:14:48.000I think that's a little bit generous, but that is a fire alarm if true.
00:14:53.000Said differently, baby boomer women, according to this gender gap poll with eight categories by the New York Times-Siena, baby boomer women are the second most liberal female category, even more liberal than millennial women.
00:15:09.000We can do a lot better with baby boomer women.
00:15:58.000But, baby boomer women and Gen Z women, according to this sample survey, because it's directionally correct, are the most liberal women in the country.
00:16:08.000And you just gotta love the Gen X women.
00:16:10.000The Gen X women almost might vote Majority Trump.
00:16:15.000What if Gen Z men, millennial men, and Gen X just, if Gen X runs the table, and women and men end up favoring Trump, and men end up going 25 plus, you know, 30 plus in Trump's direction?
00:16:33.000Who is Gen X if you are ages 45 to 64?
00:16:35.000I can tell you this is 100% correct as the most intense, energized, conservative people in our audience.
00:16:44.000And if you were to look at the Trump rally that we had in Phoenix, the vast majority of attendees, we know this because we have the data, were ages 30 to 60.
00:18:43.000Well, the relevance is it's you and it's about a billion people worldwide.
00:18:47.000In most of the world, either WhatsApp or Telegram is the primary use of peer-to-peer communication because there's no fees that you incur, like needing a phone plan or SMS.
00:19:07.000intelligence community, the Pentagon, and our swarm army of soft power NGOs to first use Telegram and WhatsApp as an instrument of statecraft to allow U.S.-backed dissident groups or U.S.-backed political movements or U.S.-backed paramilitaries To use a secure end-to-end encrypted chat that has this unique capacity of mass communication, unlike apps like Signal, for example, where you can't have these huge groups and this really versatile multi-channel capacity to simulate effectively a Facebook page in terms of its size, scope, and breadth of people you can reach, but having the benefit of it being
00:21:15.000So what they're getting him on is the fact that because Telegram is a secure and encrypted chat app, there are illicit activities that take place on the platform, surely.
00:21:26.000Child pornography, drug trafficking, human child trafficking, all of those crimes are crimes in their own right, and they are saying that his failure to cooperate No, of course not.
00:21:40.000This is an attack on free speech and free expression.
00:21:42.000criminally under French law for failing to stop those events.
00:21:46.000But mark my words, that is not what they are after.
00:22:02.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:22:06.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:22:08.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:22:13.000As 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.
00:22:19.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:23:01.000Here's my most public and private advice for President Trump.
00:23:04.000President Trump should announce that when he becomes president, there will be a 300% tariff on French wine, day one, if these charges or future charges continue.
00:23:40.000We have so much power over the European government.
00:23:43.000Mike, do you believe the American government is quietly behind the French government doing this?
00:23:50.000Are they just merely a proxy of the American Central Intelligence Agency?
00:23:54.000Yes, well, I totally agree with the proposal you just put forward.
00:23:58.000That is not the blocking point in all of this.
00:24:00.000I don't think Trump is going to have nearly as much trouble with the French government as he will with his own State Department.
00:24:07.000This is the same story, by the way, as the EU Digital Services Act, which, by the way, is spearheaded.
00:24:14.000This is the major censorship law and regulation in the EU that just went into effect where the French Head of the EU Censorship Commission, Thierry Breton, just threatened Elon Musk two weeks ago for potentially having a conversation with Donald Trump.
00:24:34.000If you recall that, basically threatened criminal penalties on Elon Musk.
00:24:38.000And again, that was a French regulatory official at the helm of the EU censorship law, which has been the number one wishlist item on civilian affairs of NATO.
00:24:48.000And in terms of the US role in this, The point that I really want to drive home is this has been a strategic imperative of the Pentagon, the CIA, the State Department, and thousands of U.S.
00:25:01.000government-funded soft power projects to bring Telegram under control, into its possession.
00:25:47.000NGOs call it a human rights violation for Russia to go after Telegram?
00:25:51.000Well, it's because these NGOs are fomenting the political resistance movements within Russia using the fact that Telegram is an open playing field for all intelligence agencies everywhere.
00:26:04.000So they want to rig that playing field by taking control of the back end in terms of spying and surveillance and by taking control of content moderation in order to kill perceived Russian propaganda channels because much of the Russian military and much of the Russian civilian class, most of it, most of them use Telegram.
00:26:22.000This is why everyone's celebrating what just happened.
00:26:25.000On social media today is going to have a Ukraine checkmark, you know, emoji icon in their name.
00:26:30.000By the way, I'm not even weighing in on the foreign policy of this.
00:26:33.000The fact is, is free speech is a casualty of a proxy war by the U.S.
00:26:49.000I don't think he's immediately at risk.
00:26:51.000I do think that something like this helps build the sort of substructure of an international
00:26:59.000norms and standards argument to be able to threaten that against Elon Musk.
00:27:03.000I think that the fact that Elon Musk is so internationally beloved, the fact that there is no encrypted, end-to-end, totally anonymized thing, everything Elon is doing is out in the open.
00:27:18.000Accessing Twitter's backend does not do all that much more.
00:27:23.000It does some, and there's actually been a lot of weeping and moaning about Elon's changes to terms of service policies.
00:27:30.000But the fact is, this is something of a unique case because what's done by the Russian military in secret on Telegram is important to the CIA.
00:27:41.000You can't really do that on Twitter, everything you say is public.
00:27:47.000Many other reasons maybe that are aside from this, but they are ultimately seeking a rule
00:29:07.000I told you it was, I think, the greatest event you guys have put on.
00:29:10.000Turning Point Action, yourself, and Tyler, and the whole gang there.
00:29:13.000You guys really know how to put on an event, and that was one of the best Trump events, and I'd say the best event, political event, that I've ever been to.
00:29:25.000We're just moments away from President Trump taking the stage here in Detroit.
00:29:29.000We're at the National Guard General Conference, and this is just really kind of their annual You know, they kind of go over some regulations, some rules, a lot of things that I don't understand, but many of the thousands of people that are in here do.
00:29:43.000But I think better yet, President Trump really showing Charlie his respect for the men and women and our law enforcement and armed services that they have for the country.
00:29:52.000Yeah, so this is going to be a unique opportunity here for the Trump campaign.
00:29:56.000What was President Trump doing this morning?
00:29:59.000He visited Arlington National Cemetery.
00:30:01.000Yeah, earlier today he was at the Arlington Cemetery paying his respects for the 13 service members that had fallen with the disastrous withdrawal at the Air Force Base there in Afghanistan.
00:30:14.000But meanwhile, Joe Biden was on his way to his second, and I mean second vacation, a back-to-back vacation.
00:30:22.000So our chief certainly not spending any time with the service members' families there on this very historic day, the third anniversary So Brian, President Trump has an ambitious schedule this week.
00:31:26.000And I think by the applause you're hearing behind me, they certainly appreciate all that Trump does for men and women that serve this country.
