00:02:45.000 We are here live, and then as soon as we are done, we are dashing to an airplane to get to Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:51.000 Tonight, we have three things going on.
00:02:52.000 We have our staff training or a staff pump-up session, and then we have our Blexit Liberation Tour tonight.
00:02:58.000 By the way, that's going to make national headlines.
00:03:00.000 Over 800 black patriots tonight that we are training via Blexit, part of Turning Point USA.
00:03:05.000 And happening right now, we have our chapter leadership summit.
00:03:08.000 Do we have that picture we could throw up on screen?
00:03:09.000 It's happening right now, is our chapter leadership summit.
00:03:11.000 This is the Navy SEALs of Turning Point USA.
00:03:14.000 What I'm about to show you on screen.
00:03:16.000 These are the Navy SEALs.
00:03:17.000 These are the folks that are doing the work, the best of the best, the creme de la creme of Turning Point USA.
00:03:26.000 And they are right now in Detroit receiving training, hearing from some of the biggest speakers.
00:03:31.000 And they're the ones that run our high school and college chapters.
00:03:34.000 They are the backbone of everything we do at Turning Point USA.
00:03:40.000 And it is our chapter leadership summit.
00:03:42.000 We've been doing it now for a couple of years.
00:03:44.000 We have so many chapter leaders now that it's hard to even get them all.
00:03:49.000 It's an application process only to be able to come to the chapter leadership summit.
00:03:54.000 And that's a great segue, by the way, to a new Axios piece here that I want to lead with today.
00:03:58.000 Trump's bid to steal the youth.
00:04:02.000 Now, for those of you that listen with regularity to the Charlie Kirk show, you know that we have been working on this, and we've been telling you that there's something happening with younger voters for quite some time.
00:04:14.000 Now, Blackpill Blake, he doesn't think it's real.
00:04:17.000 He says, I don't know about the youth vote thing.
00:04:19.000 He might be right, by the way.
00:04:20.000 In this Axios article, I want to start with the reality check first.
00:04:24.000 The polls could be wrong.
00:04:25.000 Polling younger voters has become more difficult in recent years as answering landlines, a traditional method of polling outreach, is an archaic practice for today's youth.
00:04:34.000 So it very well could be incorrect.
00:04:38.000 And he might be right.
00:04:39.000 Blake might be right.
00:04:40.000 But let's get through this article here because I think it's really interesting.
00:04:43.000 But the trend is legit.
00:04:44.000 There is more support with younger voters than we've ever seen.
00:04:48.000 Younger voters are, by definition, low turnout.
00:04:51.000 Democrats have worked for years to fix that.
00:04:54.000 And now we need to put in the work ourselves.
00:04:57.000 Right now, it is trendy to be pro-Trump.
00:05:01.000 Right now, it is trendy to be conservative.
00:05:03.000 Right now, it is trendy to be America first.
00:05:06.000 Axios.com, vote share in presidential elections among voters 18 to 29.
00:05:13.000 Support for Democrats has plummeted.
00:05:16.000 According to the New York Times Sienna poll, it shows that 47% of younger voters favor Democrats or favor Joe Biden, and 45% favor Donald Trump within the margin of error.
00:05:27.000 This is almost too good to be true as someone who does the youth organizing thing for a living.
00:05:33.000 If we only lose the youth vote, everybody, by 10 points, if we are able to get under double digits, we are going to be in unprecedented territory.
00:05:43.000 Now, why is this happening?
00:05:44.000 The first reason this is happening, and I have to give credit to the, first and foremost, the Turning Point USA staff and the Turning Point Action staff.
00:05:51.000 Secondly, to the donors that have believed in us and have given so generously, and to the grassroots activists that have volunteered.
00:05:59.000 We have been doing this work for 12 years, and we're not ready to celebrate yet.
00:06:03.000 We don't even know if it's legit or not.
00:06:04.000 It could end up being a 20-point gap, and we kind of say, oh, boy, the polling was wrong.
00:06:08.000 But directionally, there is something happening.
00:06:11.000 Donald Trump went on Logan Paul's podcast, one of the most popular YouTubers and podcasters of young people ages 18 to 24, insanely popular.
00:06:22.000 Had a very, very popular TikTok with him yesterday.
00:06:24.000 The episode will drop out today.
00:06:26.000 The trend is very bullish.
00:06:27.000 Axios.com writes, former President Trump appears to be making stunning inroads with younger voters as he stakes out youth-friendly positions that defy GOP orthodoxy and contradict past statements.
00:06:38.000 Okay, Axios.
00:06:39.000 Now, interestingly, and I have Andrew right here.
00:06:42.000 Interestingly, the media doesn't reach out to us very much about these youth stories.
00:06:46.000 It's almost as if they don't want to give us credit for it.
00:06:49.000 It's that they're writing about all this other goofy stuff, writing about.
00:06:52.000 Oh, Charlie Kirk is a Christian, is the new one from NBC News.
00:06:55.000 Just in case you didn't know.
00:06:57.000 Yeah.
00:06:58.000 Oh, the NPR.
00:06:59.000 Okay, NPR reached out about the youth vote.
00:07:00.000 Fair enough.
00:07:02.000 Why it matters?
00:07:03.000 The prospect of Trump coming within striking distance of winning younger voters, which shows up in poll after poll, would have seemed unthinkable at the outset of this cycle.
00:07:12.000 Public polling suggests a significant shift towards Trump could be coming in the 2024 election among the country's youngest voters.
00:07:21.000 The latest New York Times CNN polling of likely voters has Biden with just a two-point lead over Donald Trump.
00:07:28.000 A recent Quinnia Piak poll has Trump ahead a point among registered voters.
00:07:32.000 Now, let me just take a pause here.
00:07:34.000 The fact now that two different polls and three different polling companies, that means they use different methodologies, they poll different audiences, come with a very similar, almost identical result, means that this polling very well might be legitimate.
00:07:54.000 By contrast, the CNN exit poll showed that Biden won the 18- to 29-year-old vote by 24 points in 2020.
00:08:02.000 Hillary Clinton won it by 19 points in 2016.
00:08:05.000 Here is what I can guarantee, and I am not in the business of guaranteeing.
00:08:10.000 We will do better than we did in 2020 with the youth vote.
00:08:14.000 I can guarantee that.
00:08:16.000 We see it on the ground.
00:08:17.000 We see it in voter registration.
00:08:18.000 We see it in the work that we are doing.
00:08:20.000 Now, reality check, Axios writes, the polls could be wrong.
00:08:23.000 Polling younger voters is very difficult.
00:08:25.000 Now, zoom in, Axios says.
00:08:27.000 Trump is staking up policies that cater to the preferences of younger voters, even as they don't map out neatly to the conservative consensus.
00:08:35.000 Number one, proposing a TikTok, DC has proposed a TikTok ban.
00:08:40.000 Trump says no, and that is the right move for Donald Trump.
00:08:43.000 Number two, Trump has hugged the cryptocurrency world.
00:08:46.000 That's right.
00:08:47.000 Donald Trump will be the most pro-crypto president, and you should all be pro-crypto, by the way.
00:08:52.000 To be able to control your money and not have the government have a monopoly on our currency is a liberating belief.
00:08:59.000 By the way, we had an amazing podcast with our crypto, with Christopher Alexander earlier this week.
00:09:06.000 It was terrific.
00:09:07.000 Trump singled out a new constituency this week by vowing to get rid of taxation, the Washington Post reports, and that is to get rid of taxation on tips.
00:09:19.000 The comments made in Las Vegas may have been targeted at a career service industry workers, Latinos in particular, but young restaurant and bar workers nationwide might take notice.
00:09:28.000 The youth vote hasn't been this close since Al Gore beat George W. Bush with the youth vote by two points in 2000.
00:09:36.000 No Republican has won young Americans since 1988.
00:09:41.000 Now, I think it's a little bit rich to say that we are going to win younger voters.
00:09:46.000 If that happens, glory be to God in the highest, because that will be a work of the divine, but also a testament to our work, a testament to your work, for those of you that have donated to Turning Point, to those of you that have believed that we can move the worldview of a younger generation.
00:10:07.000 The trend is bullish, and Donald Trump is unafraid to lean into it.
00:10:12.000 And you're going to see this weekend at the People's Convention an unbelievable youth turnout.
00:10:19.000 Now, by the way, all ages are welcome, but the core is our younger attendees.
00:10:26.000 Now, mind you, we give our chapter leaders the best seats.
00:10:28.000 We give them up front.
00:10:29.000 No, it's very funny.
00:10:31.000 We give them the VIP seats.
00:10:32.000 And a lot of older activists get mad that the younger activists get the best seats.
00:10:38.000 They scream at us.
00:10:39.000 Why do the young kids get the best seats?
00:10:40.000 Why do the students get the best seats?
00:10:42.000 What have they done?
00:10:43.000 Well, they're actually doing a lot.
00:10:45.000 They're running turning point chapters.
00:10:47.000 They constantly get death threats.
00:10:48.000 They get doxxed on their campus.
00:10:50.000 We get more nastiness from people that are so upset that the VIP seats go to our students.
00:10:56.000 But we do that unapologetically.
00:10:57.000 The students are the baseline of the movement.
00:11:01.000 And that is where we need to make our biggest gains.
00:11:05.000 Axios' article is aptly putting it.
00:11:07.000 Trump's bid.
00:11:08.000 I don't like the title though.
00:11:09.000 Trump's bid to steal the youth.
00:11:10.000 No, no, no, no.
00:11:11.000 Trump is bidding to earn the youth vote, to earn the vote, to win the youth vote.
00:11:19.000 And we might be able to do that.
00:11:21.000 And Donald Trump is dominant on TikTok.
00:11:23.000 The Logan Paul interview is going to be seen, I kid you not, by probably 30 to 35 million people under the age of 35.
00:11:31.000 It will be full widespread monopoly.
00:11:34.000 Joe Biden is trying to bribe the youth vote with student loan forgiveness and climate change nonsense.
00:11:39.000 Donald Trump is going for the win.
00:11:41.000 And Axios is pulling the fire alarm.
00:11:43.000 Thanks to the work that we've been putting in over the last, after the last 12 years, every single day, laboring in these fields, we might finally see the harvest that younger voters want, a country, not just a colony.
00:11:59.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:12:00.000 It keeps you tossing and turning at night.
00:12:00.000 Debt.
00:12:02.000 You can't get away from it.
00:12:03.000 But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.
00:12:06.000 Insanely high interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
00:12:11.000 There's a way out of the debt trap.
00:12:12.000 It's Zero Debt USA.

00:13:02.000 Let's put 107 up on screen.
00:13:04.000 That is Turning Point USA's chapter leadership summit right now happening.
00:13:07.000 Look at that.
00:13:08.000 That is the Navy SEAL deployment of Turning Point USA right up there at 107.
00:13:14.000 Yeah, we have it right there.
00:13:15.000 That's incredible.
00:13:16.000 And I'll be addressing that tomorrow.
00:13:18.000 Tonight is Blexit, pastor's dinner, and also our staff training.
00:13:24.000 600 of our best student leaders ready to save the country.
00:13:30.000 So Axios is writing: Trump is coming for the youth vote.
00:13:33.000 Today, Donald Trump's podcast with Logan Paul is going to be publicized.
00:13:39.000 But it's very important to remember that younger voters know that they are missing out on the three M's that create decent citizens: mortgages, marriage, and mating.
00:13:55.000 Young people are less and less likely to own a home.
00:13:59.000 Do you know that according to the Federal Reserve data, one in four home purchases in Q1 of 2024 was done by investors.
00:14:12.000 One in four.
00:14:14.000 That is a record high.
00:14:16.000 So what does that mean?
00:14:16.000 It's never been that high.
00:14:18.000 Let's say that you have a little extra money and you're looking for a nice return on investment.
00:14:23.000 You go into Scottsdale or you go into Atlanta or you go to Santa Barbara and you go buy a single family home for a million dollars and then you rent it back to a 28 year old that is not able to buy a home.
00:14:36.000 Renters have less roots in the community.
00:14:39.000 When you rent, you do not care as much about property taxes, care as much about the business of the city.
00:14:45.000 Renting is bad for our society.
00:14:50.000 High-rises, high-rise areas tend to be more liberal.
00:14:54.000 The more horizontal that you're able to build a society, which is how Arizona used to be, the more conservative those societies become.
00:15:03.000 Density creates liberal politics.
00:15:06.000 The more people congested in a certain area, the more dense it is, the more likely they are to support left-wing ideals.
00:15:16.000 The less likely you are to really care about being a neighbor.
00:15:21.000 You can almost hide in the anonymity of the city.
00:15:23.000 That is how New York is.
00:15:25.000 Density creates left-wing politics.
00:15:29.000 Then let's get to marriage.
00:15:30.000 Marriage rates all-time low.
00:15:32.000 Young people, younger voters, are having the hardest time finding a mate.
00:15:40.000 And then finally, mating, having children and reproducing.
00:15:45.000 The fertility rate is at the lowest it's ever been.
00:15:50.000 We are well below replacement level when it comes to how many children that we are having in this society.
00:15:56.000 And you put those three together, mortgages, marriage, mating.
00:16:03.000 Young people realize that they are not able to access the simple American dream that prior generations were able to enjoy.
00:16:13.000 And Donald Trump is leaning right into that, understanding that home prices, the average median income to buy a home under Donald Trump was $71,000 a year.
00:16:24.000 Now, under Joe Biden, it requires $125,000 a year, $71,000 a year to $125,000 a year.
00:16:38.000 You need to get a $50,000 annual increase in your salary in just three years to be able to own a home, according to Zillow.com.
00:16:48.000 Not to mention, interest rates are super high.
00:16:51.000 You have a generation that owns nothing and is looking for a future.
00:16:56.000 This is not overly complicated stuff.
00:16:58.000 And what are the Democrats selling?
00:17:00.000 They're selling student loan forgiveness with other people's money.
00:17:03.000 They're selling radical environmentalism.
00:17:06.000 They're selling radical trans nonsense during Pride Month.
00:17:12.000 They are putting the entire American economy in jeopardy.
00:17:17.000 They want drive-through abortion clinics on every corner.
00:17:21.000 This is what they are trying to sell to the next generation.
00:17:23.000 Increasingly, younger voters are like, yeah, I'm not putting up with that.
00:17:27.000 I want a future.
00:17:28.000 And Donald Trump has rebel energy to him.
00:17:32.000 The indictments are not helping them with younger voters.
00:17:36.000 The indictments are significantly hurting them with younger voters.
00:17:41.000 Younger voters think that it's cool that Donald Trump is up against the system.
00:17:45.000 They think it's pretty awesome that Donald Trump keeps on fighting.
00:17:48.000 He is a cultural icon.
00:17:50.000 They have created him into a Nelson Mandela Gandhi type figure.
00:17:58.000 The mockingbird media is weaker than ever before.
00:18:01.000 An alternative media is ascendant.
00:18:03.000 From Joe Rogan to Russell Brand, how young people see the world and consume information is not laundered through CNN, New York Times, MSNBC.
00:18:13.000 The Democrats are realizing that they've lost a monopolistic control on younger voters.
00:18:22.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:18:23.000 Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right?
00:18:28.000 Well, one thing your dog can't do without you is improve their diet or health to feel their best.

00:19:25.000 You know, I've been pushing the audience.
00:19:27.000 Go register voters.
00:19:28.000 Go register voters.
00:19:30.000 Before I welcome my next guest, I'll tell you yesterday a true story.
00:19:32.000 It was 111 degrees outside, but I still like going for a walk every day.
00:19:36.000 And I did about a 20-minute walk yesterday.
00:19:38.000 It's going for a 20-minute walk yesterday.
00:19:41.000 Someone comes up to me, Charlie.
00:19:42.000 I'm a huge fan of Turning Point USA, huge fan of what you're doing.
00:19:45.000 Love your content.
00:19:47.000 And I said, Hey, thanks, man.
00:19:49.000 You know, are you registered to vote?
00:19:50.000 He's 20 years old to his credit, so he's never been old enough to vote until this cycle.
00:19:55.000 And he said, You know, I'd love to be able to vote.
00:19:59.000 How do I do that?
00:20:00.000 So we pulled up tpaction.com/slash vote.
00:20:02.000 He registered a vote right there.
00:20:04.000 He's on the early voting mail-in list.
00:20:06.000 He registered as a Republican plus one new voter in Scottsdale, Arizona.
00:20:11.000 True story yesterday.
00:20:12.000 And I've been telling you these stories and telling you that if we bring out low-propensity voters, new voters, new people into the fold, we can win.
00:20:24.000 Joining us now is someone who has been emailing me his success and is a very, very gifted woodworker.
00:20:30.000 It is Daniel Hames or Hams, I hope I pronounced that correctly.
00:20:34.000 The bearded Viking.
00:20:35.000 Daniel, welcome to the programming.
00:20:37.000 How are you, Charlie?
00:20:38.000 Good to be with you.
00:20:39.000 Daniel, introduce yourself to myself and the audience.
00:20:43.000 Tell us about the work you do and how you become a one-man voter registration army.
00:20:48.000 Well, I am a woodworker.
00:20:50.000 I have a YouTube channel, Bearded Viking Woodworks, and I basically got involved and started using my agency when I saw what they were doing with the justice system.
00:21:03.000 It drew the line for me.
00:21:04.000 I've had enough of it.
00:21:06.000 So I purchased a MAGA hat and took Charlie's advice and put it on.
00:21:12.000 And I also build custom homes.
00:21:14.000 So I find myself in box stores all the time.
00:21:17.000 So I give it a shot.
00:21:19.000 I put the MAGA hat on.
00:21:21.000 I spark eight conversations.
00:21:24.000 Are you registered to vote?
00:21:26.000 And I'll tell you what, there's plenty of subject matter when it comes to conversation about the MAGA hat.
00:21:32.000 So they'll pretty much come to you and either tell you, I love your hat.
00:21:37.000 And once they get engaged with you like that, you got to grab them, not physically, obviously, but just say, hey, well, can you believe what they're doing?
00:21:45.000 And the conversation goes from there and then hit them with the, are you registered to vote?
00:21:50.000 And I pretty much, there's two types of people: ones that watch things happen and ones that make things happen.
00:21:58.000 And I used to be one of those who would watch things happen and I got tired of it.
00:22:02.000 So I decided to be one who makes things happen.
00:22:05.000 So I love it, Daniel.
00:22:07.000 And so have you always been that way?
00:22:10.000 Have you always been wired to be a doer and to go register voters or to just go take things into your own hands?
00:22:19.000 Because right now, here's the issue: there are millions of Americans who want to see Trump win, but they will not volunteer for him.
00:22:27.000 They will not even register a voter.
00:22:29.000 Have you always been that way?
00:22:30.000 Well, I was always hardwired to, you know, you put in what you'll get out of whatever you're wanting, the amount of what you put in.
00:22:40.000 So, you know, if you're doing a half butt grind, you'll get half-but results.
00:22:47.000 So let me just say this: in 2016, nobody believed that Trump was going to win.
00:22:55.000 So I don't want to happen to Trump what happened to Hillary back in 2016 when there's no way Trump's going to win.
00:23:03.000 Or, yeah, Trump's going to win.
00:23:05.000 And today we're saying there's no way that people are going to vote for this Biden guy.
00:23:09.000 Just look at him.
00:23:11.000 Well, complacency is, you know, worse than death by a thousand cuts.
00:23:16.000 And nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could only do little.
00:23:22.000 I think that's an Edmund Burke quote.
00:23:24.000 One of my favorite quotes.
00:23:26.000 And taking my agency and not only taking my vote and voting, but at the same time, taking my agency and helping others to register and pointing them in the right direction with the TPUSA app, you know, what you think is little can turn into something big.
00:23:44.000 So I've always been kind of wired to just put in the grind.
00:23:48.000 I love it.
00:23:48.000 So.
00:23:49.000 And I mean, by the way, I want to get to this at the end of the segment, but your woodworking is absolutely incredible.
00:23:54.000 I'm very, very impressed.
00:23:56.000 So, Daniel, now that how many voters have you registered and what have you learned in these conversations?
00:24:04.000 Because what's telling is that how many people support our worldview that are not even participating in our elections?
00:24:11.000 So I've got 32 confirms and 85 of my said subscribers from YouTube who have said they've done it and I'm taking them at their word.
00:24:21.000 But physically, in person, 32 have opened the app or said or downloaded the app.
00:24:28.000 And, you know, I wasn't sitting there holding their hand the whole time, but I pointed them in the right direction.
00:24:33.000 So there's 32 that I think are confirmed.
00:24:37.000 And I already registered two more this morning at Home Depot.
00:24:40.000 Wow.
00:24:40.000 So me being in the construction business is pretty easy to get some conversation sparked with a hat.
00:24:46.000 I love it.
00:24:46.000 And so Daniel, does it get that's that first conversation?
00:24:50.000 Were you a little unsure or uneasy if it was going to work?
00:24:53.000 Can you just kind of reflect on that?
00:24:55.000 And I'm sure it's easy now that you're going for 33.
00:24:58.000 Yeah.
00:24:58.000 So the first conversation was awkward, you know, and I speak to clients often, but when you're speaking to a complete stranger who you know nothing about, you tend to get a little nervous.
00:25:11.000 However, like I said earlier, there's so much subject matter that people are just either feeling one way or the other about.
00:25:20.000 And if somebody comes up, they're going to come up to you if you're wearing the MAGA hat number one.
00:25:25.000 So that helps.
00:25:26.000 And they're either going to give you a good response or a negative response.
00:25:29.000 So you got to kind of weigh and measure.
00:25:31.000 If you get the good response, then, you know, the conversation leads itself almost.
00:25:37.000 So, but my surprise was the amount of folks that I met that were not registered, but that were extremely upset with what was going on.
00:25:46.000 I was shocked.
00:25:47.000 Yeah, that is so remarkable to me.
00:25:50.000 They're upset and they might even show up to a rally or watch it on TV, but they're not involved in the system.
00:25:58.000 So Daniel, does that worry you or concern you that we might actually have the majority of the American people on our side, but we might be very surprised in November if we don't do the work?
00:26:10.000 Because Daniel, your story is amazing, 32 new registered voters, but it's also rather disturbing because you shouldn't be able to find 32 people that easily in a short period of time.
00:26:21.000 You've been doing this, what, a couple weeks?
00:26:23.000 So what does that say?
00:26:24.000 If you map that out, that's just in one area of South Carolina.
00:26:28.000 If you model that out, that means there's at least three to five million Trump supporters that aren't registered to vote in this country.
00:26:34.000 Is that right, Daniel?
00:26:36.000 Easily, if not more.
00:26:37.000 And I'll think back to the Norman Rockwell's first painting of the four freedoms.
00:26:42.000 That blue collar worker who was standing in that room full of, you know, the white-collar folk, there's millions of that guy out there that just need to be pointed in the right direction and given a little pat on the back.
00:26:55.000 Like, man, go for it, man.
00:26:57.000 Like, if you don't use your vote or your voice, nothing's going to change.
00:27:03.000 So you either get one result or the other.
00:27:06.000 Definitely going to get a negative result if you do nothing.
00:27:09.000 So use what God gave you, which is your right to vote, you know?
00:27:14.000 So I just, I want to tell your audience that after that first initial conversation with someone, it gets so much easier.
00:27:23.000 Really does.
00:27:24.000 And that's, that's what I was going to ask you.
00:27:24.000 Yeah.
00:27:26.000 So, Daniel, there's people that are emailing us.
00:27:28.000 They say, I'm shy.
00:27:29.000 I don't know what I do.
00:27:30.000 So, if you were to just really quickly, in about a minute and a half, put on a training for our audience, what training can you give to the trepidation audience member that's not sure how to handle this or do this or whether it's worth it?
00:27:46.000 Well, what made me so sure was not being sure, but remembering that 80 years ago on the beaches of Normandy, the greatest generation of this country stormed those beaches staring at certain deaths.
00:28:00.000 Most of those kids were kids, they were under 18.
00:28:03.000 Most of them lied about their age to get to the military to go face that certain death.
00:28:08.000 If they have the courage enough to do that, you should be able to find the courage to go and talk to your fellow American.
00:28:15.000 We're still neighbors, we're still Americans.
00:28:18.000 Just because the media hypes it all up, like there's so much division, we're still Americans, and we can still agree to disagree.
00:28:27.000 But, like I said, if you put that MAGA hat on, the conversation will come to you.
00:28:32.000 And with all that subject matter, with what they're doing to this, to this guy, to our president of the United States, that should infuriate you enough to get the courage to go start that conversation or engage with it because they'll engage with you if you're wearing this hat.
00:28:48.000 Brag on your incredible woodworking.
00:28:50.000 I got to tell you, you have a gift, my friend, that I do not have.
00:28:54.000 I don't even know the vocabulary to use.
00:28:57.000 Brag on your YouTube channel, how can people support you?
00:29:00.000 Talk about your great work.
00:29:02.000 Well, I started woodworking with jewelry boxes, and here, just a little example, just you know, fine woodworking with exotic hardwoods, and I fell in love with it.
00:29:12.000 It's my Zen, my escape from all the noise.
00:29:16.000 And I wound up starting recording content on YouTube at bearded-viking-woodworks.
00:29:24.000 You can go and subscribe, check out some videos, and learn some things.
00:29:27.000 Daniel, I'm inspired by you.
00:29:29.000 I hope to meet you soon.
00:29:30.000 You have an open invite at any of our turning point events that you can attend.
00:29:35.000 And so, free of charge, Daniel, keep registering voters.
00:29:38.000 Let's get you down to 100.
00:29:40.000 Let's get you to 100 registered voters.
00:29:43.000 I love it.
00:29:43.000 Thank you so much.
00:29:44.000 Yes, sir.
00:29:45.000 Thank you.
00:29:48.000 I was so inspired by that conversation with Daniel.
00:29:51.000 I want you to imagine if 100,000 people, let's take out our calculator.
00:29:58.000 100,000.
00:30:00.000 I understand that not everyone's going to do it.
00:30:01.000 A lot of people just like sitting at home and drinking beer and hoping Trump's going to win.
00:30:05.000 Okay, fine.
00:30:06.000 You're not going to get 100% conversion.
00:30:07.000 100,000 people that register 100 voters.
00:30:11.000 That's 10 million new voters.
00:30:13.000 100,000.
00:30:15.000 But let's just say you can't get to 100.
00:30:17.000 100,000 people that could register 30.
00:30:21.000 There are no doubt 100,000, and many of you in the audience are part of this.
00:30:25.000 100,000 people that you just register 30 new voters.
00:30:30.000 You expand our movement by 3 million new voters.
00:30:36.000 I was recently asked by a reporter, they said, Charlie, what are your opinions on election security and ballot security?
00:30:43.000 I have very strong opinions on it.
00:30:45.000 Very strong.
00:30:46.000 As you all know, our record has been consistent.
00:30:48.000 However, you know what?
00:30:49.000 The greatest fraud that could happen in the 2024 election?
00:30:54.000 The greatest fraud is if our people stay home.
00:31:00.000 That would be the greatest fraud against the Republic.
00:31:03.000 The greatest fraud is our people not even voting.
00:31:07.000 And even worse than that is the hyper-engaged people that don't end up working.
00:31:13.000 This election is unlike any I've ever seen.
00:31:17.000 You have a former president facing 700 years in federal prison, a class traitor, someone who brings you into the room.
00:31:25.000 They hate him for the obvious reasons that we've gone through so many times.
00:31:29.000 You have Joe Biden, a regime puppet that runs the oligarchy and is bombarding the country with advertisements, workers in the streets.
00:31:40.000 This election and with it, the country will be determined by how much energy we put into it.
00:31:47.000 So here is the very simple calculus.
00:31:50.000 Do you believe America?
00:31:51.000 I'm curious, email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:31:54.000 Do you believe America can survive four more years of Joe Biden?
00:31:58.000 This is not a trick question.
00:31:59.000 Some people say yes.
00:32:00.000 Some people say America can always survive.
00:32:02.000 We'll keep on fighting.
00:32:03.000 We're going to be fine.
00:32:04.000 Do you believe America can survive as a superpower, as a wealthy country with four more years of Joe Biden?
00:32:13.000 If your answer to that is no, then you should be willing to do whatever it takes.
00:32:20.000 And you might say, but Charlie, I don't understand what it is.
00:32:23.000 Right there, Daniel was a perfect example.
00:32:26.000 A perfect example.
00:32:28.000 Right here says, Charlie, just watched your segment with the Bearded Viking.
00:32:31.000 You've inspired me.
00:32:31.000 I'm going to go register voters out at Lowe's, target other big box stories, see what I can do to help.
00:32:35.000 I will let you know how it goes.
00:32:37.000 And by the way, I want to keep this kind of going.
00:32:39.000 If you guys become one, if you guys become force multipliers, we'll invite you on the show.
00:32:45.000 Again, we've heard from enough congressmen.
00:32:47.000 They all say the same thing half the time.
00:32:48.000 Let's bring in like the grassroots.
00:32:50.000 We want to highlight you.
00:32:51.000 We want to bring you on the show and hear from you.
00:32:55.000 How you are doing, how you are registering voters.
00:32:57.000 You see, summers are interesting.
00:33:03.000 We have the Trump-Biden debate coming up in two weeks, by the way.
00:33:05.000 You know, it's two weeks from tonight.
00:33:07.000 It's the Trump-Biden debate.
00:33:09.000 All these stories that Mr. Andrew is dealing with right now, no one's going to care as soon as that debate happens.
00:33:13.000 It's going to be the only thing happening in the country.
00:33:16.000 Of course, we have the People's Convention this weekend, too.
00:33:19.000 This will be the low prop summer.
00:33:22.000 What we do in this summer will materialize in November when we are going live on election night and the day after and the day after when they keep on counting ballots.
00:33:34.000 And if we fall short, we partially have ourselves to blame.
00:33:39.000 And I know that might be tough love.
00:33:41.000 You might say, but Charlie, they might steal it.
00:33:43.000 Charlie, they might take it.
00:33:44.000 Hold on, just time out.
00:33:46.000 The greatest fraud is not going to be them shredding ballots.
00:33:49.000 That's terrible if they do that.
00:33:51.000 Or fake ballots or whatever happens.
00:33:54.000 We're not totally clear, but we have some ideas.
00:33:56.000 The greatest fraud is that we didn't do the work because we were overly confident or that we were left in this sort of paralysis.
00:34:05.000 That is the greatest of all the frauds.
00:34:08.000 And so it's a call to action.
00:34:10.000 And that's exactly the message we're going to be bringing forward at the People's Convention this weekend: tpaction.com/slash peoples.
00:34:15.000 If every single person does what Daniel did, we have millions of new voters.
00:34:22.000 Tom says, no, I do not think we can survive another four years of Joe Biden.
00:34:25.000 Absolutely not.
00:34:26.000 Tom, I tend to agree with you.
00:34:27.000 That's why it's the hardest I've ever worked towards a specific objective in my 12 years of doing this.
00:34:34.000 12 years.
00:34:35.000 You take out tpaction.com/slash vote, go register voters.
00:34:38.000 Go find them in your life.
00:34:40.000 Chase those ballots.
00:34:42.000 The result in November is connected to the effort you put into the summer of 2024.
00:34:52.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:34:53.000 Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
