00:02:10.000 We have the first ever television appearance of Citizen Kane himself from Citizen Free Press.
00:02:16.000 We're not going to say your name.
00:02:17.000 This is a big deal, Charlie.
00:02:19.000 This is a really, really big deal.
00:02:20.000 Kane, you're live and in the flesh, man.
00:02:24.000 Seven years.
00:02:25.000 Seven years.
00:02:26.000 And I'm here.
00:02:28.000 It's the first time.
00:02:30.000 And it's going to be a good weekend.
00:02:34.000 Man, we've had Kane on a number of times on this show.
00:02:38.000 And it's always been a phone call with a call-in graphic.
00:02:43.000 And we are honored that this is the first moment that your image is.
00:02:50.000 Now you have to worry about a lot of other problems.
00:02:52.000 But we're honored that you took the leap with us, Kane.
00:02:55.000 So, Kane, let's dive right into it.
00:02:57.000 Just reintroduce the audience.
00:02:58.000 You run the new Drudge report, citizenfreepress.com.
00:03:01.000 That's citizenfreepress.com.
00:03:03.000 And you have never done a public appearance.
00:03:06.000 Tell us your story again.
00:03:07.000 It is a unique Midwest story.
00:03:09.000 That's right.
00:03:10.000 It is Midwest.
00:03:12.000 Yeah, seven years ago, I decided that Matt Drudge needed some competition.
00:03:16.000 This was before Drudge had really shifted to the left.
00:03:19.000 And I just thought there should be an alternative.
00:03:22.000 So I started the site.
00:03:23.000 I didn't let anybody know.
00:03:24.000 I didn't try to get any press.
00:03:26.000 I didn't try to get any publicity.
00:03:28.000 I just started writing headlines and I figured people would show up and start reading.
00:03:32.000 No one did for about a year and a half.
00:03:36.000 And, you know, it's a sad story.
00:03:38.000 It's a weird thing.
00:03:39.000 When you run an aggregation site, right?
00:03:41.000 I update headlines from nine in the morning until two o'clock at night.
00:03:44.000 And so people are used to that.
00:03:46.000 So that, in a way, it sort of puts a huge crimp on my life.
00:03:51.000 So now I have to be sitting in front of a computer from nine in the morning until 2 a.m. in the morning every single day for seven years.
00:03:58.000 Well, it's been weird.
00:03:59.000 It was funny actually planning this with you, Kane.
00:04:01.000 I mean, you were like four months out.
00:04:02.000 You're like, hey, so I've got the hotel and I've got coverage already on the Friday and the Saturday on the stack from these.
00:04:09.000 I mean, you had it all, you had to map your life out that much because you're that dedicated to tracking the news, updating the stack, keeping your readers informed.
00:04:19.000 It was telling to me just to kind of work with you through the process of planning to be here.
00:04:24.000 Yeah.
00:04:24.000 It's, you know, it's an unfortunate thing when you're dedicated to news and there are, you know, we've got 500,000 people or so who read these site every day, but they visit about six times each.
00:04:35.000 Yeah.
00:04:36.000 So you're looking at three.
00:04:37.000 Right here, I have Citizen Free Press up right now.
00:04:40.000 So it's 3 million visits.
00:04:42.000 People click on about five pages each visit.
00:04:45.000 So it's 15 million page views a day, almost 40 million.
00:04:47.000 15 million page views a day.
00:04:49.000 On our best days, yeah.
00:04:50.000 And so it's almost 400 million a month.
00:04:52.000 It's double what the Wall Street Journal does.
00:04:54.000 It's double what Politico does.
00:04:57.000 So the numbers are big, but it's a lot of pressure because if I don't update, people aren't going to visit five times a day.
00:05:04.000 So I'm happy to finally be able to see people, be out in public, and get some positive things moving before November.
00:05:15.000 So, Kane, tell us right now, what are the major stories that you've been tracking and looking at?
00:05:21.000 Well, you're, I mean, you're well aware, Charlie, of what they are.
00:05:25.000 Everything is about November.
00:05:27.000 It's about waking up every single day and being ready, trying to figure out.
00:05:31.000 There's the stack.
00:05:32.000 It looks like a seventh grader built it.
00:05:32.000 Yeah.
00:05:32.000 There it is.
00:05:34.000 And it's built that way on purpose.
00:05:36.000 You know, the site loads in half a second, and all the new headlines are always at the top.
00:05:41.000 But back to the important issues.
00:05:43.000 It's about figuring out what we can do every single day, chasing every vote, getting as many people registered.
00:05:49.000 You know, here's something interesting.
00:05:50.000 I don't know if you caught it, but in that Texas special election, Gonzalez Brandon Herrera, that Herrera lost by 400 points, there were only 30,000 votes, and there's 500,000 registered voters.
00:06:00.000 Gun owners did not show up to vote.
00:06:03.000 So that's an idea, you know, in terms of chasing votes and registering votes that we've got to be everywhere.
00:06:08.000 We've got to be Little League.
00:06:10.000 We've got to be at church.
00:06:11.000 We need to be at gun ranges.
00:06:13.000 Yes.
00:06:14.000 And it's going to require that face-to-face type combo, that kind of grassroots muscle.
00:06:18.000 And Kane, you're just the guy that decided to start this.
00:06:21.000 You're now competing against the Drudge Report.
00:06:22.000 You're an example of how every American can use their agency and do something pretty spectacular.
00:06:28.000 But you don't sleep much.
00:06:30.000 Yeah, all of that is correct.
00:06:31.000 I'm not sure.
00:06:34.000 Look, I'm just a guy who's sort of obsessed with news and I do it.
00:06:37.000 And I'm glad that people like it.
00:06:39.000 Well, so you made a good point there, Charlie.
00:06:41.000 And Charlie, we touched on it earlier this week on the show with the Ohio special election, right?
00:06:46.000 That was a lot closer than what people wanted to see out of that race.
00:06:50.000 Now, the Republicans still won, but this underscores a problem that we have where the base is passionate.
00:06:57.000 We've got a lot of passionate people here.
00:06:59.000 But you would be amazed how many people are casual observers of the news cycle.
00:07:04.000 They're supporters of President Trump.
00:07:06.000 They like what he stands for, but they're not engaged.
00:07:06.000 They like what he does.
00:07:08.000 They're not voting.
00:07:09.000 They're not turning out.
00:07:10.000 And that's what this event really is all about.
00:07:12.000 That's why we're here.
00:07:14.000 But between Ohio and that Brandon Herrera race, I think there's some troubling signs that we need to be aware of, and people need to get to work.
00:07:21.000 That's exactly right.
00:07:22.000 And so we are here in Detroit, Michigan.
00:07:24.000 Hello, at the Turning Point Action People's Convention.
00:07:27.000 Do we have that clip loaded up, that one from last night?
00:07:31.000 Of the two Blexit folks?
00:07:32.000 We'll get it.
00:07:33.000 We don't.
00:07:34.000 So, you know, it's pretty amazing.
00:07:36.000 So yesterday we also had our Blexit Liberation Tour show with Blexit, which is now a part of Turning Point USA.
00:07:43.000 And this morning we also had the Chapter Leadership Summit.
00:07:46.000 We have like events within events going on here.
00:07:48.000 We have over, I'm told, 100 different breakout sessions.
00:07:53.000 That's right.
00:07:54.000 100 breakout sessions here of how to use the Turning Point app.
00:07:58.000 Download the Turning Point app.
00:07:59.000 By the way, all of you guys should download the Turning Point app right now and become a force multiplier.
00:08:04.000 This is the type of work that is going to be necessary for us to move the dial and for us to win.
00:08:11.000 So, Andrew, talk about actually, we have this is amazing.
00:08:14.000 This clip right here.
00:08:14.000 So, this clip here is two black individuals that are patriots.
00:08:19.000 They were coming to the Blexit event.
00:08:20.000 They are conservative.
00:08:22.000 They were stopped by a white liberal.
00:08:24.000 The white liberal says to them, Hey, watch out.
00:08:27.000 There's a bunch of MAGA whiteys around that might want to hurt you.
00:08:30.000 Little did they know that these black patriots were here to support President Trump and actually attend our event.
00:08:36.000 The most racist people in the world are white liberals.
00:08:39.000 Play Cup 128.
00:08:41.000 So, me and DeRot were welcome to the Blexit event, right?
00:08:43.000 We're walking across the street, and this white woman comes up behind us.
00:08:47.000 And first, she asks us, Oh, is it always clear down here?
00:08:51.000 Because we're in Detroit, never been to Detroit before, but the first red flag was her, assuming that we're from here.
00:08:56.000 I'm assuming because you know, we're Negroes.
00:08:58.000 Then she proceeds to tell us, Oh, you guys know Trump is here.
00:09:03.000 You better watch out.
00:09:04.000 I've seen a lot of white MAGAs walking around with the American flag.
00:09:06.000 You know, you guys, be careful, guys.
00:09:09.000 Hate crime.
00:09:10.000 How's you feel about the hate crime?
00:09:12.000 I'm offended.
00:09:14.000 I feel threatened.
00:09:15.000 I don't know how I'm going to my life.
00:09:18.000 Little does she know we're on our way to the convention.
00:09:22.000 Greatest video, guys.
00:09:23.000 By the way, our growing audience here in Detroit, we should pass the mic around a little bit too.
00:09:23.000 Isn't that great?
00:09:27.000 I think we have Ben Berquam.
00:09:28.000 Yeah, we have Ben Berkam in hour two.
00:09:30.000 You guys love Ben, right?
00:09:31.000 We love Ben.
00:09:32.000 Everybody loves him.
00:09:33.000 He's going to interview a bunch of you in hour two, that's for sure.
00:09:36.000 He's in route right now.
00:09:38.000 He's a fantastic journalist.
00:09:39.000 The stuff he's been doing at the border for the last year has been unbelievable.
00:09:44.000 I don't want to interrupt you, but I want to tell you.
00:09:45.000 How do you not interrupt?
00:09:46.000 I want people to understand something about Charlie and Andrew here.
00:09:50.000 You know, Charlie was 18 years old, 18.
00:09:55.000 And he decided, you know, I'm not going to go to school.
00:09:59.000 I'm going to figure out a way to help America.
00:10:02.000 He had no idea where it was going to lead.
00:10:04.000 He had no idea that any of this was going to be in his future.
00:10:09.000 He just decided 18 years ago, you know what?
00:10:11.000 I'm going to get, excuse me, 12 years ago.
00:10:13.000 I'm going to get something done.
00:10:14.000 I'm an 18-year-old kid and I can accomplish something.
00:10:17.000 And this is sort of the end result.
00:10:18.000 The stuff that Turning Point has been able to put together in the last, well, I've been watching with admiration the last two or three years of these events that I haven't been able to attend.
00:10:31.000 But this is, you know, there's 10,000 people here.
00:10:33.000 This is the People's Convention.
00:10:35.000 You know, forget what's happening in Milwaukee next month.
00:10:37.000 This is for the people.
00:10:39.000 We've got people from all 50 states.
00:10:41.000 Everybody's fired up.
00:10:42.000 Everybody here wants to win.
00:10:45.000 And, you know, with Charlie and Andrew leading the way, I think we can do it.
00:10:51.000 Everybody, you are here at this convention center, and three things have happened here.
00:10:56.000 Recently, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris recently did events here.
00:10:58.000 We don't like them.
00:10:59.000 But you are returning to the scene of a crime right here in that about 100 yards away.
00:11:07.000 Did you know this?
00:11:08.000 This is where they counted the ballots in 2020.
00:11:08.000 No.
00:11:12.000 Throw the images up on screen, right?
00:11:12.000 Yeah.
00:11:14.000 Throw the images up on screen.
00:11:16.000 Throw the images up on screen right here for some of the audience to see.
00:11:19.000 This is where they put all of the windows and they said you can't come in here.
00:11:23.000 Okay, we'll get to you.
00:11:23.000 Yes.
00:11:25.000 See those images right there?
00:11:27.000 And 100%.
00:11:28.000 Never forget them.
00:11:29.000 So you are returning to the scene of the crime.
00:11:32.000 Had no idea that that was here.
00:11:34.000 Never forget those images.
00:11:35.000 You know, those 48 hours were very, very difficult for our because there's no coordination.
00:11:42.000 No one really knew what was happening.
00:11:43.000 We're trying to see things in five, six different states that we're still counting.
00:11:47.000 And I had no idea it was in this building.
00:11:49.000 It's not going to happen this year.
00:11:51.000 It's going to be too big to rig.
00:11:52.000 Yeah, it's going to be big to rig.
00:11:53.000 We're not going to.
00:11:54.000 We're going to turn it out.
00:11:56.000 We're going to turn out and vote.
00:11:57.000 And everybody here is going to work back in their own home communities to do everything they can to get people to the polls.
00:12:05.000 That's right.
00:12:06.000 And we are going to do everything we can to get our friends, our family members.
00:12:10.000 We are going to overwhelm the system.
00:12:13.000 And we need to make sure not only we have poll watchers, but we need to secure our elections big time.
00:12:17.000 And we can't allow this nonsense to happen.
00:12:19.000 Again, we caught flat-footed.
00:12:21.000 We got caught flat-footed back in 2020.
00:12:23.000 Well, it was the great Mark Elias.
00:12:26.000 Not great.
00:12:27.000 That's a little sarcasm for you.
00:12:29.000 But people don't know.
00:12:30.000 Mark Elias went around in the six months before 2020, and he got laws changed in 30 states that allowed sort of this unlimited absentee ballot.
00:12:39.000 And one of the big lessons that we learned is they don't do signature verification anymore.
00:12:45.000 Now that everybody's getting absentee ballots, they stop doing signature.
00:12:49.000 People may remember from the Kerry Lake lawsuit in Arizona.
00:12:53.000 They showed that video clip of the person on the computer.
00:12:56.000 Click, click, click.
00:12:58.000 And they were clicking about every seven-tenths of a second.
00:13:01.000 And that was their signature matching.
00:13:04.000 Well, and by the way, that's why, you know, I really believe that we can take this mass mail-in balloting movement.
00:13:12.000 Obviously, we don't support it.
00:13:13.000 We want to change that.
00:13:15.000 But we have to use it.
00:13:16.000 But we have to use it right now.
00:13:17.000 And what everybody in this audience needs to understand is the low propensity, though.
00:13:21.000 What everybody in this audience needs to understand is that Trump right now, according to polls, is up 11% on Biden with people that have only voted once in the last four elections.
00:13:21.000 Yes.
00:13:33.000 If they had not voted, if they have not voted in any of the last four elections, Trump is winning by 18 points.
00:13:41.000 Right?
00:13:41.000 That's great.
00:13:42.000 That's great.
00:13:43.000 It's an opportunity, but it's also a challenge because these are people that are not engaged in our political process.
00:13:49.000 They're maybe not even registered to vote.
00:13:52.000 So we need to get these people out because they want Trump.
00:13:55.000 They're with us.
00:13:56.000 They like our ideas, but they're not engaged.
00:13:58.000 You would be surprised and amazed at how many people like Donald Trump, like this movement, are drawn to it, but they're not in the process yet.
00:14:06.000 They don't have a plan to vote.
00:14:07.000 And that's what this whole event is about.
00:14:09.000 If we do not expand our base with new voter registration and high turnout, we are not going to win.
00:14:14.000 And the higher turnout, the higher likelihood that we are going to win.
00:14:18.000 And Democrats know this.
00:14:20.000 And so we need to engage in every legal way we possibly can to make it too big to rig.
00:14:25.000 And Kane, if our elections were actually honest and secure, what would the result end up being?
00:14:31.000 Well, that's an incredibly difficult question to answer, but I think it would be, you know, it would be dominant.
00:14:36.000 We don't know how many fake absentee ballots there were last time.
00:14:40.000 Chris Kobach gave us an idea, a few hundred thousand.
00:14:44.000 But what these guys are saying, I want people to understand what Turning Point Action, Turning Point USA has been doing over the last six months regarding chasing the vote.
00:14:52.000 All right.
00:14:53.000 What Andrew just talked about, the low propensity voters, we've got to get out and register at all, you know, play by the rules.
00:15:01.000 We don't like these rules.
00:15:02.000 We don't think that absentee ballots are the way to go for the future.
00:15:05.000 But as long as they're part of the system, we have to use that.
00:15:09.000 Well, and by the way, so everybody, you have a very simple action item in front of you.
00:15:14.000 I want you to pull out your phones.
00:15:15.000 If you're listening in your car right now, on a radio station across the country on Real America's Voice, if you're in this audience right now, pull out your phone and download the Turning Point Action app.
00:15:26.000 It's an app that empowers you to register voters and then also get out and volunteer in your communities.
00:15:32.000 And you're going to be able to plug in in our mini breakout sessions at this event to learn exactly how to do those things.
00:15:39.000 But right now, if you have your phone, download the app right now.
00:15:42.000 That's step one.
00:15:46.000 I need to tell you guys about Strong Cell.
00:15:46.000 All right.
00:15:48.000 It's amazing.
00:15:49.000 With nearly a million units bought by you, it is more clear than ever that Strong Cell works.
00:15:56.000 It works to combat fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and constant sickness.
00:16:01.000 I've been taking it personally for over a year now, and it's changed my life.
00:16:04.000 I take it in the morning with breakfast, and it helps me with natural energy so I don't have that afternoon crash.
00:16:09.000 And it gives me the clarity of mind to do all that I do every day, which is a lot.
00:16:13.000 If you're tired of feeling tired, struggling with memory, or constantly getting sick, then you have to give Strong Cell a try.
00:16:20.000 I love this product because it has NAD.
00:16:22.000 By the way, fact-check me on this.
00:16:24.000 Go do your own research on NADH, especially if it's mixed with CoQ10 and marine collagen.
00:16:29.000 Strong Cell uses a proprietary delivery of NADH to make sure it goes straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.
00:16:37.000 And since there are cells in every area of your body, then healthier cells equals a healthier you.
00:16:43.000 The amount of people that use Strong Cell now, thanks to us, is remarkable.
00:16:46.000 Over 1 million units sold.
00:16:48.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:16:49.000 Do your own research.
00:16:50.000 Check it out.
00:16:51.000 Fact-check me.
00:16:52.000 Oh, Charlie's just selling me a product.
00:16:54.000 Okay.
00:16:54.000 Maybe you don't want more mental acuity.
00:16:56.000 People say, Charlie, how do you do what you do?
00:16:58.000 Maybe it's the NAD that I take.

00:17:39.000 All right, we're going to try something new here.
00:17:41.000 It's a little bit of a curveball.
00:17:42.000 We're going to my friend Citizen Kane, Citizen Free Press.
00:17:46.000 You ready?
00:17:46.000 I'm ready.
00:17:47.000 I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:17:48.000 Our field correspondent.
00:17:53.000 All right, who we got, Kane?
00:17:54.000 Introduce us to some people in the audience here.
00:17:55.000 Well, we have a very good-looking crowd.
00:17:57.000 That's the first thing I can say.
00:17:58.000 What's your name and where are you from?
00:18:00.000 Lisa Kreiser from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
00:18:03.000 My husband and I drove through Manaseeek, Michigan, and went to a small coffee shop where somebody behind me was a Korean War veteran, 94 years old.
00:18:13.000 His name is Wilber.
00:18:14.000 And I recorded him because he started talking about how he wasn't taken care of by the veterans that the hospitals.
00:18:21.000 As soon as Trump got in, he was taken care of physically and mentally.
00:18:27.000 And he's hoping for Trump to get back in again.
00:18:30.000 I do have a video if anybody wants to see it.
00:18:32.000 That's it.
00:18:33.000 Charlie, I've sent it to Turning Point.
00:18:35.000 We need Trump for our veterans.
00:18:36.000 By the way, you know what Trump said?
00:18:37.000 Yes, we do.
00:18:38.000 Trump said, no more money to Ukraine and our troops get a raise.
00:18:42.000 I love that.
00:18:43.000 Nope.
00:18:44.000 Who wants no more money to Ukraine and instead our troops get a raise?
00:18:47.000 You guys agree?
00:18:48.000 That was a big story this week.
00:18:48.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:18:50.000 In fact, that the $24 billion for our enlisted troops was turned down while we said hundreds.
00:18:56.000 This is Zelensky.
00:18:57.000 So I'm going to ask really quick, go along to people: who do you want for vice president?
00:19:02.000 Byron Donald.
00:19:03.000 Byron Donald's very popular.
00:19:05.000 Vance.
00:19:06.000 JD Vance from Ohio.
00:19:08.000 Byron.
00:19:09.000 Another Byron Donalds from Florida.
00:19:11.000 Tim Scott.
00:19:13.000 Tim Scott, South Carolina.
00:19:14.000 JD Vance.
00:19:15.000 JD Vance.
00:19:17.000 Byron.
00:19:18.000 Byron and JD Vance.
00:19:20.000 Carson or Vivek.
00:19:21.000 There we go, Vivek.
00:19:23.000 I like Vance too.
00:19:25.000 JD Vance.
00:19:26.000 All right.
00:19:27.000 So, Kane, let me ask: if the finalists were Rubio, Bergum, Vance, who would you guys choose out of those three?
00:19:34.000 Whoa.
00:19:35.000 JD Vance.
00:19:36.000 Wow.
00:19:37.000 Wait, did you just do that again?
00:19:39.000 If the finalists were Rubio, Bergum, Vance, who would you guys choose?
00:19:43.000 Wow.
00:19:44.000 Wow, they won JD.
00:19:46.000 That's big.
00:19:47.000 Hey, well, we got to show him on screen.
00:19:48.000 Can we show him on camera right there?
00:19:51.000 I think that's a little understated, don't you think?
00:19:53.000 Yeah.
00:19:54.000 Yeah, so we'd like to say a word for JD.
00:19:56.000 I just think he's a perfect pick and he's got the business experience and the business mindset.
00:20:01.000 He does.
00:20:02.000 And Charlie wrote, I don't know if people saw him, but Charlie wrote not bad this past week on JD Vance.
00:20:02.000 He does.
00:20:07.000 I think it's at the Federalists.
00:20:08.000 So if you want to check that out.
00:20:09.000 Yeah, and look, the finalists right now are, according to reports, both private and public, JD, Bergham, Rubio.
00:20:16.000 Yeah, it's not that we don't like those other guys.
00:20:18.000 I think Vivek would be amazing.
00:20:19.000 I like Ben Carson.
00:20:20.000 I like Byron.
00:20:22.000 We have all those guys at this conference for a reason, but what we're hearing is that these are the finalists.
00:20:28.000 So don't, you know, yeah, and that's both public and private conversations.
00:20:33.000 Kane, who here, anyone involved in the local GOP here?
00:20:37.000 Anyone, I want to hear from you.
00:20:38.000 Would you say that prior to in the last couple years, have you been thrilled with the RNC?
00:20:44.000 Absolutely not.
00:20:46.000 They will not look at anything from 2020.
00:20:49.000 Are you here in Michigan?
00:20:50.000 Is that right?
00:20:51.000 Grand Rapids, Kent County.
00:20:53.000 What does Trump need to do to win Michigan?
00:20:53.000 Wow.
00:20:57.000 Oh, boy.
00:21:01.000 Getting out to vote.
00:21:02.000 We have too many Christians who claim to be Christians, but they don't vote.
00:21:06.000 I hear that.
00:21:06.000 You know that only half of people that go to church are registered to vote, and only half of those end up voting?
00:21:13.000 Wow.
00:21:14.000 It is your biblical obligation to vote and to vote for the candidate that is going to protect life and to restore this country.
00:21:22.000 Kane, keep working the line here.
00:21:24.000 Andrew, I want to ask you, why is it that so many Christians are hesitant to vote?
00:21:28.000 Well, you know, they've been told for decades that politics is dirty, that they shouldn't get involved in it.
00:21:33.000 And, you know, churches across the country are just told, just preach the gospel.
00:21:38.000 Don't get involved in any of the political stuff.
00:21:40.000 Don't weigh in on the transing of kids.
00:21:42.000 Don't weigh in on abortion.
00:21:44.000 And we completely reject that, by the way.
00:21:46.000 If you do not speak into the cultural vacuum, guess who's going to?
00:21:51.000 Guess who's going to speak into the cultural vacuum?
00:21:53.000 People that don't share our values is exactly what's going to happen.
00:21:56.000 And we've seen that culturally in the bleed we've seen for the last three, four, five decades.
00:22:01.000 So we're stopping that.
00:22:03.000 We have TPUSA Faith, by the way.
00:22:05.000 How many partner churches are there?
00:22:06.000 Oh, yeah, we have over 3,000 partner churches.
00:22:09.000 TPUSA Faith, by the way, we have booths for all of you guys to visit to get involved.
00:22:13.000 Get your church involved.
00:22:14.000 Start a Turning Point Academy.
00:22:16.000 Start a Turning Point High School chapter.
00:22:17.000 Start a Turning Point College chapter.
00:22:19.000 Take over your local precinct.
00:22:20.000 I want to welcome up here, where is the young lady from Iowa?
00:22:24.000 Very, very important.
00:22:25.000 We'll bring her up.
00:22:25.000 We'll bring her up.
00:22:26.000 This is such a powerful story if we can find her.
00:22:29.000 She was at the chapter leadership summit.
00:22:32.000 Yeah, just let's chat.
00:22:34.000 Yeah, let's have her get up here.
00:22:35.000 This is a young lady who is a detransitioner.
00:22:39.000 She was recruited into the trans cult and she has now left it.
00:22:43.000 Let's welcome her here on stage.
00:22:44.000 Ariella Krause.
00:22:45.000 Yes.
00:22:46.000 Here's a mic.
00:22:47.000 So introduce yourself to the audience.
00:22:49.000 My name is Ariella Krause or Ari for short, and I'm the detransitioner from Iowa.
00:22:55.000 So tell us a little about your story.
00:22:57.000 How old were you when you first got exposed to the trans ideology?
00:23:01.000 I was 10 years old and I had just started sixth grade in a new district that I'd never been to before.
00:23:07.000 And so you were 10 years old and the whole adults outside of your parents, what did they want you to do?
00:23:16.000 I had an art teacher who wanted me to draw sexually explicit things and he encouraged me to cut my hair short and wear wigs to school and told me that I looked better as a boy.
00:23:28.000 And did certain adults want you to take hormones and irreversible type surgery or damage to yourself?
00:23:36.000 My therapist at the time was trying to get me testosterone behind my parents' backs.
00:23:41.000 But luckily before I, like right around when I turned 13, my parents pulled me out of therapy when they found out.
00:23:48.000 And at 13 years old, there was a therapist that was trying to give you hormone blockers or testosterone.
00:23:55.000 That therapist should be in prison, everybody.
00:23:55.000 Yes.
00:23:57.000 I'll tell you what.
00:23:58.000 That is so sick.
00:24:01.000 What is your message to those who are afraid to talk about the trans issue when it comes to children?
00:24:07.000 And what have you learned now that you are a detransitioner?
00:24:11.000 Don't be afraid.
00:24:12.000 A lot of the times these kids are scared themselves and they're confused and they don't know what they're doing, especially if they're at the age that I was when they were being told that they should transition.
00:24:22.000 So hold these adults accountable and like get them those prison sentences because like what are they doing?
00:24:28.000 This is sexual abuse at this point.
00:24:31.000 And I'm just, it's amazing to me.
00:24:34.000 There are so many Christians that say it's the loving thing to do to give 12-year-olds homeborn blockers.
00:24:41.000 What is your response to that?
00:24:43.000 So I'm heavily Christian now because the whole reason I detransitioned was because I met God in a dream.
00:24:50.000 So I am of the firm belief that Christians should not be supporting this.
00:24:57.000 It even says it in the Bible.
00:24:59.000 There's a part in Deuteronomy that if you crush your testicles or cut off your penis, you will not be welcomed to the assembly of God.
00:25:06.000 True.
00:25:07.000 It is one of the laws of Judaism.
00:25:09.000 And so looking at Christians that are silent, or how about American adults?
00:25:15.000 Do you, young people are in such pain, and you're lucky that they never did surgery on you.
00:25:20.000 Was that their plan to eventually have you be surgically operated on as a minor?
00:25:24.000 Yes.
00:25:25.000 They actually had me on a waiting list for a couple weeks before I was pulled out of therapy.
00:25:32.000 Everybody, this is one of the biggest issues happening in the country today.
00:25:36.000 President Trump has come out and he said he wants to end all medical mutilations of children in this country.
00:25:44.000 Ari, as someone who almost had to go under that surgery, how does that make you feel that President Trump is drawing that line and then Joe Biden says it's the loving thing to do to chop off 13 year olds' private parts?
00:25:56.000 I think that the loving, the real loving thing to do would be to keep these children from doing those things.
00:26:02.000 So it makes me really happy that Trump is going to prevent these things from happening because it's going to prevent a lot of pain from kids who would otherwise be transitioned and then regret it later.
00:26:13.000 And I think Biden, honestly, we all know Biden.
00:26:14.000 He's just crazy.
00:26:16.000 Exactly.
00:26:16.000 And he's evil.
00:26:17.000 So, and Ari, there's parents out there that aren't sure what to do when it comes to this issue.
00:26:24.000 What advice do you have to parents that are raising young boys and young girls how to prevent them from being captured by this trans ideology?
00:26:33.000 Take them to church, pray over them, take them to prayer groups.
00:26:37.000 I mean, if you have kids that are going through this, honestly, give them as much support as you can, but don't give in to their demands.
00:26:43.000 My parents were firm on not, they didn't accept my pronouns that I wanted to be.
00:26:49.000 Like they didn't accept the fact that I wanted to be a guy.
00:26:52.000 Don't give in to it because then you're just furthering their delusion.
00:26:55.000 But this is so important.
00:26:56.000 Ari, so what you just said is that your parents did not accept your delusion.
00:27:02.000 Do you know that in the state of California, Oregon, and Washington, if parents do not accept their kids' delusion, the state can take your kids from you?
00:27:11.000 So what your parents did because they loved you, which saved your life, is illegal in the state of California, Washington, and Oregon.
00:27:20.000 Ari, you are an amazing person and your willingness to speak out about this.
00:27:24.000 And you have such courage as a detransitioner.
00:27:27.000 Thank you so much and God bless you.
00:27:28.000 Give it up one more time for Ari, everybody.
00:27:30.000 Isn't that great?
00:27:31.000 Thank you.
00:27:34.000 Isn't that great?
00:27:35.000 Where's Kane?
00:27:35.000 Is Kane working the line still?
00:27:37.000 I'm here, brother.
00:27:37.000 I'm still here.
00:27:38.000 Who do we got?
00:27:39.000 We moved over to a different crowd.
00:27:40.000 Here we go.
00:27:41.000 What's your name and where are you from?
00:27:42.000 I'm Robin Hands, and I'm from Illinois.
00:27:44.000 What part of Illinois?
00:27:45.000 Winnett, Illinois.
00:27:47.000 That's where Home Alone was.
00:27:48.000 I grew up in Wheeland, which is not Winnetka.
00:27:51.000 Okay.
00:27:51.000 So we're in Winnetka.
00:27:53.000 And I want to tell you, we have a terrible problem with the illegals coming in.
00:27:58.000 The houses around us, they're all 4 million, 6 million.
00:28:02.000 They're on the Lake Michigan.
00:28:03.000 Our next door neighbor was broken into, and they know it was a South America gang.
00:28:08.000 We have it on our cameras.
00:28:10.000 My other next door neighbor, there was a carjacking.
00:28:13.000 And when the police came to look at the cameras, they saw they tried to get my husband's car first.
00:28:18.000 And they're South America gangs, guys.
00:28:20.000 And if you think Winnetka is a nice area.
00:28:24.000 This is where, just like a home alone or 16 candles.
00:28:28.000 Oh, hold that thought.
00:28:29.000 Ferris Mueller's Day off.
00:28:30.000 I hate to be cruel, but Winnetka voted very liberal for years.
00:28:34.000 And in some ways, I'm a delicate and trying to turn it around.
00:28:37.000 However, we need the biggest deportation effort in American history, don't we, everybody?
00:28:42.000 We need the deportation effort.
00:28:42.000 You know what?
00:28:47.000 The fact that we are doing an event in Detroit, Michigan, with nearly 10,000 people from all across the country and the Midwest, that is a statement and just a little bit of a coming attraction of what is coming in November.
00:29:00.000 It's, I think, Steve Bannon called it the Bronx 2.0.
00:29:05.000 We're going into the Lion's Den, into their territory, because we're going to take it back.
00:29:09.000 That's right.
00:29:10.000 We're taking this country back.
00:29:11.000 Kane, do we got some patriots here that want to say hi?
00:29:14.000 What's your name and where are you from?
00:29:14.000 Yes, I do.
00:29:16.000 Ronald Ann Arbor.
00:29:17.000 Ann Arbor.
00:29:18.000 Hey, there we go.
00:29:19.000 So you're a Michigan fan.
00:29:20.000 I'm from Ann Arbor, too.
00:29:22.000 My name is Neil.
00:29:23.000 I'm from New York.
00:29:24.000 I drove all the way out here.
00:29:26.000 Love it.
00:29:27.000 Neil, I can tell you, Neil says Trump is going to win New York.
00:29:30.000 New York's going red, baby.
00:29:32.000 Let's go.
00:29:34.000 New York's going red.
00:29:35.000 Don't let them fool you with the fake news.
00:29:38.000 All right, man.
00:29:39.000 I'll take your word for it.
00:29:41.000 Providence from Florida.
00:29:42.000 Love it.
00:29:43.000 Michael Montgomery, Newburgh, Indiana.
00:29:46.000 Right.
00:29:47.000 Love Indiana.
00:29:48.000 Terry Brissett from Livonia, Michigan.
00:29:50.000 Michigan.
00:29:51.000 Michigan.
00:29:52.000 It's a great looking crowd, Charlie.
00:29:53.000 You know, what I'm hearing over here from all these people is that illegal immigration made every state a swing state.
00:30:01.000 Every state.
00:30:02.000 She talked about it from Illinois, right?
00:30:04.000 A state that has voted 10, 15 points for Democrats.
00:30:08.000 This is why there aren't just seven swing states, Andrew.
00:30:11.000 There's 12 this time.
00:30:12.000 There's Virginia, two points.
00:30:14.000 Minnesota.
00:30:14.000 Minnesota.
00:30:15.000 New Hampshire.
00:30:16.000 Maine is getting tighter.
00:30:18.000 Even Vermont's getting tighter.
00:30:19.000 And I'm still holding out hope.
00:30:21.000 Is there anybody from New Mexico?
00:30:22.000 Can anyone explain why there's a blue state sandwich between Texas and Arizona?
00:30:29.000 This makes no sense.
00:30:30.000 Kane is obsessed with this.
00:30:32.000 New Mexico needs to turn red.
00:30:34.000 I was having the same conversation with Charlie on the trip over here.
00:30:38.000 New Mexico is a very corrupt state.
00:30:40.000 Anyone see New Mexico needs to start breaking bad?
00:30:42.000 That is New Mexico on steroids.
00:30:44.000 Well, somebody needs to take it on as a challenge, Charlie.
00:30:44.000 Literally.
00:30:47.000 I'm just saying.
00:30:48.000 We got to flip Arizona first, which is our first call of action.
00:30:53.000 I see so many great patriots here.
00:30:54.000 We're going to be going all hour as well.
00:30:57.000 Those of you, if you want to hear exclusive interviews that we are doing, the Charlie Kirk Show is doing.
00:31:02.000 We have exclusive interviews with Vivek Ramaswamy, Candace Owens, Christy Noam.
00:31:06.000 Who else?
00:31:07.000 Byron Donalds, that you guys can come into the room.

00:31:11.000 One of the booths here, you guys can sign up to become a member and get a copy of my new book.

00:31:21.000 I think some of you are already members and you guys have signed up there.
00:31:24.000 So Andrew, we have two minutes.
00:31:25.000 Kane, we got other people here we want to talk to?
00:31:27.000 Yes.
00:31:27.000 What's your name and where are you from?
00:31:29.000 Kathy Six.
00:31:30.000 I'm from Freuport, Michigan, which is over on the lake.
00:31:32.000 And I am a teacher.
00:31:33.000 And I just want to say that we are not all trying to push that agenda.
00:31:37.000 God bless you.
00:31:39.000 There's a lot of great teachers out there who are fighting against it.
00:31:42.000 So are you a public school teacher?
00:31:44.000 I'm a public school teacher 30 years.
00:31:46.000 God bless you.
00:31:47.000 How many of your fellow teachers are willing to vote for Trump, would you say?
00:31:51.000 Actually, more than 50%.
00:31:53.000 Wow.
00:31:54.000 That's a big deal, everybody.
00:31:55.000 That's great.
00:31:56.000 A lot of us are being forced to say and do things we don't want to.
00:31:59.000 We need you to get into your school boards and stop it.
00:32:03.000 Yes.
00:32:04.000 Flood the zone, guys.
00:32:05.000 I love it.
00:32:06.000 What do you think Trump has to do to win the state of Michigan?
00:32:09.000 I think he's already got Michigan.
00:32:11.000 I think the problem is we've got to get everybody to vote.
00:32:13.000 We need to get into our churches that are, for some reason, not coming out to vote.
00:32:18.000 And we need to make sure our churches are speaking about politics.
00:32:21.000 Amen.
00:32:22.000 They have to talk about it.
00:32:24.000 They have to speak about it.
00:32:24.000 By the way, Charlie, this is why they're trying to use this Christian nationalism boogeyman nonsense against the church.
00:32:30.000 They want to cow us into submission so that we don't actually get involved in the public space and the public sphere.
00:32:36.000 They're writing hit pieces this week about it.
00:32:39.000 We talk about God too much.
00:32:40.000 We're Christians that are getting engaged.
00:32:42.000 They're terrified of it because if we do, we win.
00:32:45.000 I got to read the headline, everybody.
00:32:46.000 NBC News attacked me this week.
00:32:48.000 He says, Charlie Kirk wants to make America Christian again.
00:32:48.000 You ready?
00:32:52.000 That's right.
00:32:54.000 Celebrated.
00:32:55.000 That's a hit piece.
00:32:56.000 Celebrated.
00:32:57.000 We want to make America Christian again.
00:33:00.000 Amen.
00:33:01.000 We want to put God at the center of our society.
00:33:04.000 Of course.
00:33:04.000 Of course.
00:33:05.000 But we're going to sign off with Kane here.
00:33:07.000 Kane, do you have one more person here to say hi to?
00:33:09.000 Yes.
00:33:10.000 You're naming where you're from.
00:33:11.000 My name is Emerson Ransom.
00:33:12.000 I'm from the great state of Kentucky, baby.
00:33:14.000 Okay.
00:33:15.000 And it's going to go right all the way.
00:33:18.000 Kentucky, that's a lot of spirit there.
00:33:18.000 All right.
00:33:20.000 I love it.

00:34:30.000 How y'all doing?
00:34:31.000 Can you try to get taller than me?
00:34:32.000 How y'all doing?
00:34:35.000 How y'all doing?
00:34:36.000 I just wish, you know, I thank God, but I wish you would have made me a little bit taller.
00:34:40.000 I'm feeling real small.
00:34:41.000 I got a step stool right here.
00:34:42.000 He's still not taller.
00:34:44.000 This is Fauci's stepstool, so I'm not going to stand on it.
00:34:47.000 And we got Pierre Wilson from Blexit.
00:34:50.000 We love Blexit.
00:34:50.000 They do a great job, don't they?
00:34:52.000 Yes.
00:34:53.000 Pleasure to be here, guys.
00:34:54.000 I'm excited to be here, Charlie.
00:34:55.000 Thank you for watching.
00:34:56.000 So let's start with you, Pierre.
00:34:57.000 Tell us last night.
00:34:58.000 You had an amazing event.
00:34:58.000 What happened?
00:34:59.000 Praise God.
00:35:00.000 Incredible event.
00:35:01.000 We had so many patriots out there.
00:35:02.000 Always joke that we're not BLM, so it was good to see people from all different backgrounds out there.
00:35:06.000 White, black, Hispanic, Asian.
00:35:08.000 Everybody was there.
00:35:09.000 We had Charlie came to speak.
00:35:11.000 We had Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, this guy right here, Terrence Williams.
00:35:15.000 It was a great time, a night of empowerment, free thinking, everything you don't hear from the left.
00:35:20.000 And, Pierre, you deserve such praise.
00:35:21.000 You've done an amazing job.
00:35:22.000 We back you 100%.
00:35:24.000 What Pierre is doing and leading in the black community is one of the most important things happening in the country right now.
00:35:30.000 And I'm really proud of you, man.
00:35:31.000 And we're honored to be partnering together.
00:35:32.000 Terrence, let me ask you, and then I want to get to Caitlin here.
00:35:34.000 Terrence, your friend Donald Trump, what do we have to do to get more and more black Americans to support him?
00:35:41.000 I'm starting to see a lot of momentum in that direction.
00:35:44.000 Yeah, well, I love President Donald J. Trump.
00:35:46.000 I'm staying with Donald Trump and I'm voting for the convicted felon.
00:35:50.000 Yes.
00:35:51.000 I'm a proud black Trump supporter.
00:35:54.000 But Joe Biden is doing such a horrible job that black people are just coming over to Trump's side.
00:36:00.000 Joe Biden is doing such a horrible job.
00:36:02.000 There are a lot of people in my family who I could not convince to vote for Trump.
00:36:08.000 They have been convinced to vote for Trump because they are sick of Joe Biden.
00:36:13.000 So people are naturally, black people are naturally going to vote for Trump because they want America to be great again.
00:36:21.000 They now understand that they were lied to.
00:36:24.000 They now understand that under Trump, black people were doing better.
00:36:28.000 So I believe that black people just realized that they are waking up.
00:36:33.000 All Americans were doing better under Donald Trump.
00:36:36.000 Is that right?
00:36:37.000 Yes.
00:36:37.000 All Americans.
00:36:38.000 I want to go to Caitlin Sinclair, who is our spokesperson for Turning Point Action.
00:36:42.000 And you're going to be seeing a lot of Caitlin.
00:36:44.000 So Caitlin, introduce some of our guests here.
00:36:48.000 We have Tolford.
00:36:50.000 Everybody knows me, right?
00:36:51.000 Tens of thousands on my right, thousands by my side.
00:36:54.000 Wool between good and evil, watching our fist collide.
00:36:56.000 Battle for our freedom now to the streets we ride.
00:36:58.000 Flags waving all around, pages full of pride.
00:37:01.000 Whatever he is.
00:37:06.000 Hi, nobody knows me, but I am Nicolette Von Schell.
00:37:09.000 I am the Blexit West Regional Director and the Blexit Leader of the Year.
00:37:13.000 Woo-hoo!
00:37:15.000 And my queen right here.
00:37:18.000 Hi, everybody.
00:37:18.000 My name is Madeline Brain.
00:37:20.000 I am the state director of Blexit, New York.
00:37:24.000 New York, baby.
00:37:27.000 We got a lot of patriots here.
00:37:29.000 A lot of patriots.
00:37:30.000 Where are you from?
00:37:30.000 What's your name?
00:37:31.000 My name is Rebecca Reinenbaum.
00:37:33.000 I'm from Trenton, Michigan.
00:37:36.000 My name's Maddie, and I'm from Holland, Michigan.
00:37:39.000 Ooh, Sherry from Fargo, North Dakota.
00:37:42.000 Welcome, everyone.
00:37:43.000 Welcome.
00:37:44.000 So let me ask Tozer here, or one of our friends, what does Trump have to do to win more and more gains in the black community?
00:37:51.000 He's been Trump.
00:37:53.000 You know, we're sitting right now with him standing against the system, not allowing the justice system to, you know, curtail our vote in our opinion.
00:38:00.000 Because to me, like Taryn said, I'm still going to vote for a felon.
00:38:03.000 Because if you think about it, some of the people that we look up to, they had felonies.
00:38:06.000 Just because when the people in power don't want you to be who you want to be and keep you from being in office, they will do what they can to keep you out of it because they know they can't beat them at the ballot box and they can't beat them in the streets.
00:38:17.000 That's why we are here today at the People's Convention to let people know that people like me and Blexit and my whole family, we are 1,000% behind Donald J. Trump.
00:38:28.000 And we are going nowhere.
00:38:30.000 And that's on policy, not person.
00:38:33.000 So let me ask you really quick, how have you been treated as an outspoken Trump supporter?
00:38:38.000 Have you been called names?
00:38:39.000 Is it easy being a black Trump supporter?
00:38:42.000 Well, you know, I can't say the names.
00:38:44.000 I don't know where we are right now.
00:38:47.000 But I've been called everything but a child of God.
00:38:49.000 And what's funny is if you were a child of God, then you would see the truth in everything that someone's saying.
00:38:54.000 Right now, the left is a master of manipulation and marketing, and they deceive us with the lies that have continually to peddle to the black community to keep us behind.
00:39:03.000 We are victors, not victims, and I would never be a victim because that's not going to get you where the true freedom comes from.
00:39:10.000 Where God says, and the Bible says, you know, if you love me, you keep my commandments, then you'll be my disciples.
00:39:16.000 And then you would know the truth and the truth to set you free.
00:39:19.000 So only the truth is going to set us free.
00:39:22.000 And that's why we're here to talk about today.
00:39:23.000 Thank you, Joe.
00:39:24.000 So Pierre, I want to get your thoughts on this.
00:39:26.000 Talk about the importance of that victor versus victim mindset.
00:39:30.000 Why the left focuses so much on victim and why that's something at Blexit you really hone in on?
00:39:34.000 You know, I always say it's emotional manipulation.
00:39:36.000 What we've learned through Blexit is that when we're on the ground, people actually, our message resonates with black Americans.
00:39:42.000 We understand why the left has worked so hard to keep us out of these spaces because they didn't want us to have this conversation with them because they just might agree with us.
00:39:49.000 And that's what we're finding out on the ground, right?
00:39:51.000 So we go to HBCUs, we go into black churches, these places that we are going to, we are realizing more than ever that they are on our side.
00:39:59.000 They're for Trump.
00:40:00.000 It's just they don't know that they're for Trump.
00:40:02.000 And it takes groups like us to explain these things to them to get them to understand it.
00:40:05.000 We're never saying don't learn what the left is saying until you learn everything, understand everything, and then make a decision for yourself.
00:40:11.000 What's wrong with that?
00:40:12.000 And why would the left stop that?
00:40:13.000 So, Terrence, talk about your story, Foster Kid, going all the way from foster homes to meeting the president of the United States.
00:40:22.000 How do you respond when they call Trump racist?
00:40:25.000 You know what?
00:40:26.000 I met President Donald J. Trump, and I'm going to tell you this right now.
00:40:29.000 This man is not a racist.
00:40:31.000 But if you watch CNN and MSNBC, they will convince you of that.
00:40:35.000 But if you meet President Donald J. Trump, he is a very good man.
00:40:39.000 Now, I grew up in the foster care system, but I live in the greatest country in the world.
00:40:45.000 So although I grew up in the foster care system, I still had opportunities.
00:40:49.000 That's the great thing about America.
00:40:52.000 I bounced from foster home to foster home.
00:40:55.000 I lived in children's shelters.
00:40:57.000 I still love my mother, but unfortunately, she was addicted to crack cocaine and she couldn't take care of her non-children.
00:41:04.000 But I still love her because the Bible says you must love, you must honor your mother and father always, no matter what, no matter what.
00:41:12.000 But I went through all of that and then I went from the foster house all the way to the White House and met President Donald J. Trump.
00:41:19.000 Praise God.
00:41:22.000 I stood on stage with Trump and I was just looking up at him like the Statue of Liberty.
00:41:28.000 And Trump just tall smelled like a whole lot of money.
00:41:31.000 I said, oh my goodness.
00:41:33.000 But it was such a blessing to be able to stand next to the greatest president of my lifetime, to be able to be in the White House.
00:41:41.000 It was just an amazing thing.
00:41:43.000 And I want to give Charlie some credit here, okay?
00:41:46.000 Back in 2019, Charlie Kirk helped a lot of young blacks get to the White House.
00:41:53.000 He changed a lot of their lives.
00:41:55.000 A lot of them never imagined going to the White House.
00:41:58.000 And Charlie helped hundreds of young black boys and girls go to the White House.
00:42:04.000 Charlie, thank you for that.
00:42:05.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:42:06.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:42:07.000 Thank you, man.
00:42:08.000 So for people who want to call Charlie a racist, kiss my black ass.
00:42:12.000 Excuse my language.
00:42:14.000 Charlie Kirk is not a racist.
00:42:17.000 I love this guy.
00:42:18.000 I'll tell you.
00:42:19.000 And, you know, by the way, I have some New York Times reporters for you to talk to.
00:42:23.000 I'll talk to them.
00:42:24.000 Oh, yeah, you can talk to him.
00:42:26.000 We have six different articles they're writing about me in the next 24 hours.
00:42:30.000 NPR, New York Times, that I'm a racist, that I'm anti-Semitic, which is really hilarious.
00:42:36.000 Terrence, most importantly, tell us about your pancake mix.
00:42:40.000 Yeah, so Cousin Tees.
00:42:41.000 They're good too.
00:42:43.000 I got to be honest, I wasn't sure what I was getting into.
00:42:45.000 They're good.
00:42:46.000 They are good.
00:42:49.000 You know, so they counseled our sweet dear Aunt Jamama.
00:42:51.000 These woke, silly liberals.
00:42:54.000 These dummies woke up in the morning and decided to cancel people off of pancake boxes and syrup bottles.
00:43:00.000 That's how you know America is so great that people have to create problems.
00:43:04.000 Like, Aunt Jamama was never a problem.
00:43:08.000 Was never a problem.
00:43:09.000 So when they counseled her, I was really mad because I know this all.
00:43:12.000 Everybody loved Aunt Jamama, black people, white people.
00:43:16.000 I mean, food brings us all together, right?
00:43:18.000 So they counseled her, and I was not going to eat any of that other woke crap.
00:43:23.000 So I created a pancake mix called Cousin Tees, and it's been doing great.
00:43:28.000 It is phenomenal.
00:43:30.000 If you have not tried it, you should try.
00:43:31.000 Go to cousinte's.com.
00:43:33.000 But yeah, I created Cousin Tees after they counseled on Jamama.
00:43:36.000 Terrence Williams, everybody.
00:43:37.000 Let's give it up for him.
00:43:38.000 a great American.
00:43:43.000 Then we have the illegals flooding our borders coming into our communities, sucking up the resources that we already, that we barely have.
00:43:57.000 Why?
00:43:58.000 Why should we allow this to happen?
00:44:01.000 Every last person here needs to rise up and get fighting mad.
00:44:06.000 Get fighting mad and make sure that you're registered to vote and go out there and you vote up and down the line, not just the presidency.
00:44:16.000 That is Madeline Brahm.
00:44:18.000 She's right here.
00:44:18.000 How great is that, everybody?
00:44:21.000 We also have with us Nicolette Van Schell.
00:44:23.000 How'd I do?
00:44:24.000 Yes, that was perfect.
00:44:26.000 You both are amazing Americans.
00:44:28.000 The state director for Blexit, New York, and also the Western Regional Manager for Blexit.
00:44:33.000 Yes.
00:44:34.000 I got it right.
00:44:35.000 I'm doing my best to do it.
00:44:36.000 So, all right, first, Madeline, tell us about that Bronx rally.
00:44:40.000 What is the significance of Trump drawing that kind of a crowd in the Bronx?
00:44:44.000 30,000 strong.
00:44:46.000 No one would have ever thought in a million years that Trump could pull that type of crowd in one of the bluest counties in New York City.
00:45:00.000 30,000 people, poor minorities, white people, black people, Hispanic people, Asian people, Jewish people, all showed up and showed out for President Trump on that day.
00:45:15.000 It was absolute magic that happened in the park that day.
00:45:20.000 People didn't think that he could possibly pull those type of people or that type of crowd, but everyone was there and they loved him.
00:45:28.000 Do you think that five years ago, Trump could have drew that kind of crowd?
00:45:32.000 Absolutely not.
00:45:33.000 But then again, you never know.
00:45:35.000 You never know.
00:45:36.000 I'm telling you, places in New York City, the five barrels of New York City are ripe.
00:45:41.000 Are ripe.
00:45:42.000 Those votes are ripe to be picked right now.
00:45:45.000 They just need somebody to come in there like Trump did, all right, and show that he cares and that he's listening, that he's paying attention to the people.
00:45:55.000 That's all it takes.
00:45:56.000 We have to overcome.
00:45:58.000 We have to overcome the myth, the myth that Republicans and conservatives are not welcome in these communities because you are.
00:46:07.000 We were raised with conservative values.
00:46:11.000 And we need somebody to come in there strong like Trump and stand up and take the lead.
00:46:19.000 And so many, and Nicola, I want to get your thoughts here.
00:46:22.000 Would you hear so often, I've never heard this before.
00:46:25.000 I never heard that before.
00:46:26.000 And talk about that.
00:46:28.000 When our message gets out, we can do much better.
00:46:31.000 Absolutely.
00:46:32.000 The issue is that people are so, have been so, allowed us to be so marginalized now that you feel like you don't have a voice because it's not other people around you speaking to the issues.
00:46:43.000 So you stay quiet and you stay hidden and you stay behind the foreground.
00:46:47.000 But now is the time.
00:46:48.000 We're not the silent majority no more.
00:46:50.000 We need to get loud.
00:46:51.000 We need to be bold.
00:46:52.000 We need to get out and have conversations with our families, our friends.
00:46:55.000 We need to stop being scared of losing our jobs.
00:46:58.000 We're talking about our freedoms being on the line here.
00:47:00.000 It was our ancestors with this skin color that fought for the very freedoms that we have right now.
00:47:05.000 We dang so need to stop giving it up every single chance we get just because a Democrat tells you that you need to.
00:47:11.000 We don't need a Democrat to give us our power.
00:47:14.000 We already have power because God is the one that sits on the throne, not a Democrat politician.
00:47:22.000 Amen.
00:47:23.000 So really quick, Madeline and Nicolette, what does Trump need to do to get 20% of the black vote in Michigan or 25%?
00:47:30.000 Give him advice right now, one minute each.
00:47:33.000 My advice to you, President Trump, is to go into the communities again.
00:47:37.000 Go deeper.
00:47:38.000 Go into places like Harlem.
00:47:40.000 Go into places like Brownsville, Brooklyn.
00:47:42.000 Go into the deep, deep, deep, all right?
00:47:45.000 The deep, deep, okay?
00:47:46.000 And bring something tangible to the people in those communities, not just lip service.
00:47:52.000 We've been having lip service for 40, 50 years, for decades, all right?
00:47:57.000 We'd rather sit out and not vote at all.
00:48:00.000 But he has a chance.
00:48:01.000 Trump, you have an opportunity to pick off those votes and get them people out there to vote that haven't voted in 40 years.
00:48:08.000 Bring something tangible.
00:48:10.000 Bring some major investments to build our schools, get to our dilapidated housing, do something about crime and unemployment.
00:48:20.000 And deport the illegals that are.
00:48:26.000 Nicolette.
00:48:29.000 What your advice to Trump, 45 seconds.
00:48:32.000 President Trump, my advice to you, sir, is that you need to be unapologetic.
00:48:36.000 You need to be raw.
00:48:37.000 You need to stop trying to pander.
00:48:39.000 Don't pander to nobody.
00:48:40.000 The reason that you have all of these people here and the reason why you have more people that look like us backing you is because you were unapologetic when you ran the first time.
00:48:48.000 And there are those of us who remember that that culture used to love you.
00:48:52.000 We remember who Trump was before the media started telling everybody that you was racist.
00:48:57.000 Go back to being unapologetic.
00:48:59.000 Speak your mind.
00:49:00.000 Say what you feel like saying.
00:49:02.000 Be raw, be unapologetic, and don't apologize.
00:49:06.000 Madeline and Nicolette, give it up for them.
00:49:07.000 Are they not two great patriots?

00:50:25.000 And Tyler, Tyler, introduce Luke and walk us through it all.
00:50:29.000 And you guys know Tyler Boyer.
00:50:30.000 Tyler is the man.
00:50:31.000 And by the way, do we stand with Tyler Boyer after the Arizona Attorney General indicted him?
00:50:35.000 We stand with them 100% with all that elector stuff.
00:50:38.000 100%.
00:50:38.000 So Tyler, tell us all about it.
00:50:40.000 We're ready for war, Charlie.
00:50:41.000 And we're here for war against the Democrats in the state of Michigan.
00:50:46.000 Are you all right?
00:50:47.000 Got Luke here, who actually runs our Great Lakes region for our Turning Point Action team, Michigan native.
00:50:55.000 We got a lot going on here in Michigan.
00:50:57.000 We do have a lot going on.
00:50:58.000 I cannot express how excited I am to have this kind of energy, this kind of support and the movement coming out to my home state.
00:51:06.000 I know the Great Lakes region in general, all of our field reps are incredible, and they've been working really hard to make sure that this thing is going to be top-notch, just like it is in Phoenix or in Florida when we have it.
00:51:16.000 So yeah, we've got a great movement going on.
00:51:19.000 Well, Charlie, we're really excited because we're showcasing the coalitions that are being built here in Michigan.
00:51:24.000 So here we're going to be registering thousands of voters, sending people out to register thousands of voters, tens of thousands of voters, hopefully a multiplier effect, the force multiplier effect that we're going to see come out of this, and then building coalitions to ignite the moms, the Latinos in the state, the black community in the state.
00:51:44.000 So let's talk about it.
00:51:45.000 Luke, you are the Michigan expert.
00:51:47.000 And let me ask you plainly, can Trump win Michigan?
00:51:51.000 There's no question whatsoever that Trump can win Michigan.
00:51:51.000 Absolutely.
00:51:55.000 It's a matter of we in Michigan have so many low propensity voters.
00:51:59.000 It is, it's astronomical when you look at it.
00:52:01.000 How many give us a ballpark?
00:52:02.000 So like, for example, in the faith community alone, like our faith coalition is so important because in Michigan alone the past two elections, we've averaged only 8% of registered voters are actually showing up from the faith community and voting.
00:52:15.000 That's crazy.
00:52:16.000 Imagine if we just doubled that number.
00:52:18.000 We would have won the governorship in the last election, the state house, and the state senate.
00:52:23.000 And that's the first time in 40 years that we don't have any chamber in Michigan.
00:52:28.000 So after all the shenanigans, Trump fell about what, 150,000?
00:52:32.000 156,000.
00:52:32.000 156,000.
00:52:33.000 You know the number right off the bat.
00:52:35.000 And so we're seeing a lot of different effects.
00:52:38.000 Let me ask you about the unaffiliated Muslim American dissatisfaction with Biden.
00:52:43.000 Is that a legitimate threat for the Democrat Party?
00:52:45.000 Absolutely.
00:52:46.000 You see, we have multiple individuals like Hassan, Nimi, and Ali.
00:52:51.000 We have individuals that are now in our executive committee in the Michigan GOP because the community, they approached us, the Michigan Republican Party, just with such concern for what's happening and what they're forcing down on their kids and what the propaganda is that they're pushing onto them.
00:53:05.000 They're coming out in droves and they're wanting to join and they're joining our faith coalitions here at Turning Point Action.
00:53:10.000 So it's really incredible to see.
00:53:13.000 You think that the Muslim community, albeit we could agree on the no-grooming kids, on the no pornography stuff.
00:53:21.000 And so they're leaving the Democrat Party.
00:53:24.000 And they're a sizable voting block here in Michigan, aren't they?
00:53:26.000 It is.
00:53:27.000 If you just go, you know, a few minutes.
00:53:29.000 Dearborn.
00:53:30.000 Yeah, Dearborn.
00:53:31.000 That's like the hub around the entire U.S. for the Muslim Arab community.
00:53:35.000 And they are coming and approaching us and wanting to get engaged because the left makes it so obvious what they're doing and pushing down on everybody else.
00:53:42.000 So it's no question to them that they're going to at least have to deal with it.
00:53:47.000 No, and Charlie, in addition to the Muslim community in Michigan, we have a really strong Christian Arab community.
00:53:54.000 So the Chaldean community here in Michigan is huge.
00:53:58.000 We're talking 60,000, 70, 80,000 voters who are leaving the Democrat Party in droves, realizing that being a Christian, being from Middle Eastern descent, there is no, makes no sense.
00:54:12.000 That's fascinating.
00:54:13.000 So when we talk about the Arab vote, it's not Arab Muslim necessarily.
00:54:16.000 Not only.
00:54:17.000 And so you're saying there's 70,000 Arab Christians.
00:54:20.000 How many of those vote?
00:54:22.000 The Chaldean community.
00:54:23.000 The Chaldeans are some of the greatest people ever.
00:54:25.000 Yeah, has historically voted largely Democrat.
00:54:28.000 And we've seen that shift over the last four years.
00:54:30.000 So Luke, let me ask you.
00:54:31.000 So we had the Arab-Muslim-Arab Christian thing.
00:54:34.000 Second bucket.
00:54:35.000 We have the auto-workers.
00:54:37.000 Yes.
00:54:38.000 That is a massive vote here in Wayne County, in Macomb County.
00:54:42.000 That's at least 400 to 500,000 votes, right?
00:54:45.000 If you count all the small businesses, the UAW, do you think Trump can win the muscular class UAW vote?
00:54:53.000 There's no question in my mind that he can.
00:54:55.000 If you go to every single one of his Trump rallies here in Michigan, you have the autoworkers that literally travel in droves to go to these Trump rallies.
00:55:03.000 And they're out there.
00:55:04.000 They're registering voters with us at Turning Point Action.
00:55:06.000 They're literally going up there and speaking with President Trump at there and talking up and speaking up against their leadership and that they are not happy.
00:55:15.000 So we have that as the second buck.
00:55:17.000 So go ahead.
00:55:17.000 I was going to say, Charlie, auto workers voting for Joe Biden are like mice voting for cats, right?
00:55:24.000 Are like hens voting for foxes.
00:55:26.000 Yeah, chickens for KFC, right?
00:55:28.000 Chickens for KFC, as they say all the time.
00:55:31.000 If you're working in the auto industry, you love President Trump.
00:55:35.000 You should.
00:55:36.000 And this electric vehicle mandate is very unpopular here, right?
00:55:39.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:55:40.000 Gretchen Whitmer, obviously.
00:55:42.000 We like Gretchen Whitmer around here.
00:55:45.000 She's real happy we're having this right down to the belly of the beast.
00:55:48.000 Has she commented on it?
00:55:49.000 Yeah, I don't know about that.
00:55:51.000 Yeah, okay.
00:55:52.000 She's afraid of us.
00:55:53.000 That's the second bucket.
00:55:54.000 So first we have Arab Muslim, Arab Christian.
00:55:56.000 We have UAW.
00:55:57.000 Third bucket, black voters.
00:55:59.000 Black voters.
00:56:00.000 Detroit is 78% black.
00:56:03.000 We just had amazing black patriots up here from Blexit.
00:56:07.000 Do you see reasonable and provable movement in the black community?
00:56:12.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:13.000 I used to live in downtown Detroit with my cousin Larry for a couple of years, actually.
00:56:17.000 And it was prior to the 2020 election.
00:56:19.000 And you'd never see any support for President Trump in downtown Detroit or anything among the black community.
00:56:24.000 But now you literally will be walking down Woodward and you'll have African Americans openly wearing Trump hats and saying, I'm going to elect that convicted felon.
00:56:33.000 I love it.
00:56:33.000 Well, Charlie, you remember the poll that came out not that long ago.
00:56:37.000 If you've never voted before and you're in the black community, over 40% love Donald Trump.
00:56:42.000 We have to find those people and register them.
00:56:44.000 You have to chase them.
00:56:45.000 Yes.
00:56:46.000 You have to register.
00:56:47.000 And it requires a spirit.
00:56:49.000 So I want to go through this quick.
00:56:50.000 So the black community, the next one is younger voters.
00:56:54.000 Michigan boasts some of the largest college campuses in the country, Ann Arbor, East Lansing.
00:57:00.000 Do you think Trump can do better in these once Democrat strongholds of East Lansing, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids?
00:57:06.000 Absolutely, especially after what happened with COVID and the lockdowns and stuff.
00:57:10.000 These kids, I mean, they didn't get to experience what their older siblings got to experience and stuff.
00:57:15.000 They're very upset and they directly identify that with the Democrats.
00:57:18.000 So they are going to show up in droves too for President Trump and the Republicans.
00:57:22.000 So that's the fourth.
00:57:23.000 The final one is West Michigan.
00:57:26.000 We can do even better in West Michigan.
00:57:28.000 Tyler, I want to throw this one to you.
00:57:29.000 There's this belief that we've kind of run up the score enough in West Michigan, that we can't squeeze that orange anymore.
00:57:36.000 Can you talk about how if we're able to chase another 10 or 20,000 votes in Grand Rapids, in Holland, in Kalamazoo, in Sault Ste. Marie, in Patoski, in Traverse City?
00:57:45.000 See, I know my Michigan towns.
00:57:46.000 I'm a Chicagoan, okay?
00:57:48.000 If we're able to find 5,000 votes here or 6,000 votes here, then what does that mean on the eastern part of the state?
00:57:56.000 West Michigan is the final part of the equation.
00:57:59.000 There's two places in Michigan we got to win.
00:58:01.000 One is Slotkin's district.
00:58:04.000 She abandoned those people.
00:58:06.000 CD7 is up for grabs, and we got to run up the score as much as we can, no matter what we're facing in that district.
00:58:14.000 But in like you're mentioning Western Michigan, this is what we're seeing.
00:58:16.000 The data is showing this.
00:58:18.000 Everywhere you think is good is not good enough.
00:58:22.000 Let me say that again for everybody that's here and everyone listening at home.
00:58:26.000 Everywhere you think is good is not enough.
00:58:28.000 If there's a Trump flag flying in your neighborhood, that means you have probably 10 voters on your street who are not going to vote.
00:58:36.000 It's not good enough to sit back.
00:58:38.000 So you've got to start on your street.
00:58:40.000 You've got to get to know everyone that's on your street.
00:58:42.000 Western Michigan, this is the story.
00:58:45.000 Grand Rapids and outside Grand Rapids, tons of conservative voters.
00:58:49.000 You've knocked doors there.
00:58:50.000 Oh, yeah.
00:58:50.000 I've knocked doors there.
00:58:51.000 That's a great spot.
00:58:52.000 So just those five elements, everybody, puts Michigan in play and should be Trump country.
00:58:57.000 They're doing worse with Arab Muslims, Arab Christians.
00:58:59.000 The UAW is a huge problem.
00:59:01.000 The black voters are a huge problem.
00:59:02.000 Younger voters want to do better, and we're going to run up the score in West Michigan.
00:59:06.000 And with that, I want to bring Caitlin.
00:59:07.000 Why don't you help introduce Caitlin here, Tyler?
00:59:08.000 Caitlin Sinclair.
00:59:09.000 Well, we have someone new on the team.
00:59:11.000 Our new spokeswoman, Caitlin Sinclair.
00:59:14.000 Everyone, welcome her.
00:59:16.000 You might recognize her from formerly OAN and being all around, but we are excited to have her on the team.
00:59:22.000 Caitlin, introduce yourself, Caitlin.
00:59:24.000 How are you?
00:59:24.000 How are you doing?
00:59:25.000 I'm great.
00:59:26.000 I'm just as fired up as all these amazing patriots here today.
00:59:29.000 So I'm really excited to be on board.
00:59:31.000 And Charlie, I actually have some patriots here that were so inspired by what we're doing at Turning Point.
00:59:37.000 They came all the way from Canada.
00:59:39.000 So thank you guys for being here.
00:59:41.000 And tell me a little bit about you, so please move here and claim asylum.
00:59:46.000 Yeah, so we're so inspired to be here because Justin Trudeau has run our country into the ground.
00:59:53.000 Boo, Justin Trudeau.
00:59:56.000 And we are here today to be around Christian, conservative, like-minded people.
01:00:05.000 And at the end of the day, to just remind ourselves that Jesus already died on the cross for us.
01:00:11.000 God has already won.
01:00:12.000 God has already defeated evil.
01:00:14.000 So at the end of the day, it's just about seeking truth and having that as our motivation to go back to Canada, go back to our corrupt universities, wear this hat, and see the reactions.
01:00:26.000 I love it.
01:00:27.000 That's right.
01:00:28.000 Pierre is going to make Canada great again.
01:00:31.000 I hope so.
01:00:32.000 Polo Ver.
01:00:33.000 I have another patriot, guys.
01:00:35.000 So this is my friend here.
01:00:37.000 She immigrated from Pakistan years ago, and she has a message, I believe, on our current immigration policies under Mr. Joe Biden.
01:00:47.000 Well, I'm a Middle Eastern Christian that immigrated to the United States back in 2015, and I became a U.S. citizen back in 2022.
01:00:55.000 I think we need to run the biggest deportation plan or Jenna program, whatever you guys want to call it, this year when President Trump gets into the office.
01:01:05.000 And the reason why these people don't respect our flag.
01:01:08.000 These people don't respect our country.
01:01:10.000 And if they don't respect our country, how are we expecting them to be here and respect our laws because they just broke the first law entering the country legally?
01:01:21.000 So that's the first thing.
01:01:22.000 Then we don't know how many of these people that are coming into this country are doing criminal activities.
01:01:30.000 Our criminal activity level has gone up since the borders have been opened like they have been now.
01:01:36.000 They are now.
01:01:37.000 So that's another thing.
01:01:38.000 And then as soon as they get into the border, the left side Biden administration, they're handing them this paperwork to go vote for Biden.
01:01:46.000 Well, it's illegal.
01:01:48.000 And if you don't know how this country is run, if you're not going through the proper procedure, then how are we expecting them to again respect everything that we do here?
01:01:58.000 And because they don't, they just support that left agenda.
01:02:02.000 They go out, they protest, they break the windows and destroy our colleges are destroying the country.
01:02:07.000 We really need to stop everything that's happening here right now because it's time to save America.
01:02:13.000 Amen.
01:02:13.000 I love that.
01:02:15.000 What a message.
01:02:18.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
01:02:19.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.
01:02:21.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
01:02:25.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
01:02:28.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
01:02:33.000 As 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.
01:02:39.000 Your 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.
01:02:44.000 $280 can save 10 babies.
01:02:47.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.
01:02:50.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
01:02:56.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
01:03:00.000 Call 833-850-2229.
01:03:03.000 That's 833-850-2229.
01:03:05.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
01:03:08.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
01:03:11.000 Also, save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
01:03:13.000 I'm a donor of this organization.
01:03:15.000 They're terrific.
01:03:16.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.
01:03:20.000 Charlie had to run off to Hillsdale College, break out with Dr. Larry Arn.
01:03:25.000 But I am joined by the one and only Bishop Aubrey Shines.
01:03:28.000 Welcome to the show.
01:03:29.000 Thanks.
01:03:29.000 Always great being with you guys.
01:03:31.000 He's also the host of another show on Real America's Voice.
01:03:34.000 America Shines, 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
01:03:37.000 So don't every Saturday.
01:03:38.000 Don't miss that.
01:03:38.000 Don't miss that.
01:03:39.000 So, Bishop, we're so honored to have you here.
01:03:42.000 You're one of our main stage speakers.
01:03:45.000 You are a leading voice for all, I would say, people of faith, Christians, conservatives, but you have a special honor, do you not?
01:03:54.000 You were mentioned in a certain book by a Hillary Clinton, I believe her name is.
01:04:00.000 Why did she mention you by name?
01:04:02.000 Well, according to Hillary Clinton, I was one of the main reasons that she lost the election.
01:04:08.000 She put me in her book by name.
01:04:10.000 Yes.
01:04:12.000 So was she saying you were partly responsible for her loss?
01:04:16.000 Now, what did you do to contribute to such a prestigious accomplishment?
01:04:20.000 I just simply pointed out the hypocrisy of what the Democratic Party has always been.
01:04:26.000 This is the same party, Andrew, that fought against the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendment, same party that gave you the KKK, same party that gave you the Jim Crow laws, and it's the same party that cannot identify gender.
01:04:41.000 Right, but they're not biologists, most of them.
01:04:44.000 So, let me ask you this: you know, you made a really important point there, and I don't want to gloss over it.
01:04:49.000 We don't have a ton of time here, but Bishop, I was told the party switched.
01:04:54.000 Yeah, so that was another lie.
01:04:56.000 There were two individuals that actually, quote, switched, but that was Senator Strong.
01:05:01.000 And the last time I checked, he still died as a KKK wizard.
01:05:05.000 By the way, he was the one that inspired, according to Hillary, Hillary Clinton.
01:05:11.000 Oh, yeah.
01:05:12.000 Ooh.
01:05:13.000 So you basically called out the truth and the hypocrisy for what it was.
01:05:16.000 And that's what.
01:05:17.000 So well done on that.
01:05:19.000 Now, for those in our audience that maybe don't know all of your background, you have like, you know, 48 titles.
01:05:25.000 I remember we were trying to give you a lower third once upon a time, and it was impossible.
01:05:29.000 You just do too much.
01:05:30.000 You're one of the most active leaders, faith leaders, political leaders in the country.
01:05:34.000 And obviously, you have a special place with the black community.
01:05:38.000 So explain the significance of being in Detroit, which is 78% African-American population in the city of Detroit.
01:05:45.000 What it means for President Trump.
01:05:47.000 Why are you here?
01:05:47.000 Why was it so important to you to make this trip here to be with us?
01:05:50.000 Well, I actually traveled with then-candidate Trump during his time of candidacy.
01:05:56.000 And I have to say this, or else my biological mother will just have a fit.
01:06:01.000 I am also Jewish.
01:06:02.000 And so, with a Jewish mom, she won't allow me just to adopt the black identity.
01:06:08.000 So I have a crossroads going here.
01:06:10.000 And I really see humanity much larger than just one's ethnicity.
01:06:15.000 And that is, I think we're really in this together.
01:06:17.000 And I think if we really work together, we can get our country back.
01:06:21.000 That's why I do what I do.
01:06:22.000 Amen.
01:06:23.000 So, what do you hope to see at this event?
01:06:26.000 What do you think needs to be done from a, you know, we're seeing that the black, and I respect that.
01:06:32.000 I respect your answer so much, but we're seeing that the black community specifically might be 20, 23, 25% in favor of Trump.
01:06:39.000 What message do we need to be sending to the black community here at a place like Detroit?
01:06:43.000 I look at this as sort of Bronx 2.0, right?
01:06:46.000 Where you go into a place where you're not welcome, where at least they tell you you're not welcome, and then you see all the support, right?
01:06:52.000 What is the message?
01:06:54.000 Well, I think a couple things.
01:06:56.000 I think Donald Trump is really already doing that.
01:06:59.000 And I'm on the side, not just because I traveled within candidate Trump, but I believe the election was stolen.
01:07:05.000 I think that there were more blacks and brown people that voted for Donald Trump in 2020 than that, obviously, that we know.
01:07:12.000 So I think if his message just keeps registering and he really doesn't have to do a whole lot other than amplify the horrific inept ability of Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
01:07:25.000 Just amplify it.
01:07:27.000 It's a shoe win.
01:07:28.000 Yeah, and then there's the other dynamic here in Detroit with the union workers.
01:07:32.000 Yeah.
01:07:33.000 Right.
01:07:33.000 So you've got, you know, you've got a big union population where you see the brass are still saying, hey, we're for Biden.
01:07:40.000 But the rank and file.
01:07:42.000 Yeah.
01:07:43.000 And by the way, that is such a image of our country right now where you see working men and women, the muscular class, the people that shower before work and after work, they're behind Trump.
01:07:54.000 What is that dichotomy caused by?
01:07:56.000 What's leading into that?
01:07:57.000 And how do we get the message out?
01:07:59.000 Well, actually, the elitists have always been that.
01:08:01.000 They've just been the elitists.
01:08:02.000 They want to make sure that their agendas push forward and they can continue to collect dollars from the average guy and girl, but people are not buying into the lie anymore.
01:08:12.000 That's why we're here to support what we're doing.
01:08:14.000 All right.
01:08:15.000 Give the audience your coordinates.
01:08:16.000 How do they find you?
01:08:17.000 How do they follow you?
01:08:18.000 Yeah.
01:08:19.000 Support what you're doing.
01:08:19.000 Everywhere.
01:08:20.000 Go out to Aubrey's America.
01:08:22.000 You'll get just an array of various things that we do.
