00:00:32.000Thank you, Brian from Washington, Alan from Texas, Elizabeth from Nebraska, Joanne from Colorado, Paul from Colorado, Jose from Illinois, Craig from New York, Peggy from Illinois, CharlieKirk.com slash support.
00:01:03.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:11.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:35.000Well, MAGA season one were big rallies, tens of thousands of people.
00:01:41.000But in the last couple of weeks, I've started to see some examples of something I've been pushing for for quite some time that is just making me so excited.
00:01:52.000The marketer in me is saying this, this, this is a whole new wrinkle.
00:02:00.000If season one was the big grand entrances of 30,000 people, season two should be the exact opposite.
00:02:07.000It should be Trump in living rooms, Trump at McDonald's, Trump in diners, Trump talking to people one-on-one.
00:02:13.000I've said this for quite some time, and Rick Grinnell will agree in just a second when we bring him in, that when you get in a room with Donald Trump, it is magical.
00:04:14.000He literally is a real person who has human feelings.
00:04:20.000This could be the biggest scam that the media have ever put out, which is trying to pretend like Donald Trump is something that he's not, trying to make him into a Russian asset, trying to make him into a mean-spirited guy.
00:04:35.000And he is just a funny, real guy with big ideas about America, wanting to be proud of America again and bring it back to its roots.
00:05:10.000And by the way, it will then demand whoever he ends up running against, whether it be Newsom or Biden, they have no presence when they walk into a room.
00:05:25.000But I just want to, one of the best moments of the Trump administration, you remember this.
00:05:30.000And, you know, I had plenty of battles with some of the people in the White House to get them to think creatively.
00:05:34.000And I know you did too, Rick, as well, which is, remember when the boy came to mow the lawn and Trump comes out?
00:05:41.000That was one of the most viral human moments.
00:05:44.000And I said, every week, there should just be someone who's a teenager that had some sort of, you know, issue starting a lemonade stand, and you could just have that.
00:06:16.000And the response I've received from even people who hate Donald Trump is like, wow, I mean, if this is what he's going to be doing, going into real places, talking to real people, improv, impromptu, not reading a teleprompter, it's a whole new dimension.
00:06:28.000Look, you're so right because it's not even politics.
00:06:32.000It's just reminding people of the great spirit of America, right?
00:06:36.000Hard work, young people mowing the lawns, doing newspaper deliveries, or whatever the technology allows today.
00:06:43.000Look, I got, you know, my godson is traveling around the neighborhood washing trash cans.
00:06:52.000And he was under so much demand to have people wash the trash cans that he raised the price.
00:06:59.000We taught him how to raise the price and said, you know, you got to do a faster job.
00:07:04.000You're getting the trash can's trash cans way too clean.
00:07:38.000They feel that he is somebody who respects their hard work.
00:07:43.000And that's what we have to get back to.
00:07:44.000It seems like over the last decade, we've had this whole government system that all they're trying to do is highlight the people that are getting around the rules or want freebies.
00:07:55.000And they've lost the hard ethical messaging that America used to stand on the top of the mountain and scream to the rest of the world.
00:08:06.000And we got to get back to that because I'll finish with this, Charlie.
00:09:57.000Pete Buttigieg is none of those things, period.
00:10:00.000And it's really a disgrace because, you know, I think they're like, oh, transportation, whatever, it doesn't really matter.
00:10:06.000Actually, you can't have a functioning or flourishing society if trains are being derailed and you're ignoring people and you can't get planes in the air and you put quote unquote equity over competency.
00:10:19.000I want to talk about relieffactor.com.
00:10:21.000I want you guys to check out relief factor.com, 100% drug-free, knee pain, back pain, joint pain, elbow pain.
00:10:27.000Check out Relief Factor Energy help makes your body make nutrients readily available.
00:12:36.000He would say it immediately on what he's going to do, and then he would follow through.
00:12:41.000I want to go back to one point on Mayor Pete, Charlie, because there's this woke ideology within the media that somehow gays and lesbians are more represented by Biden or by Obama and by Democrats.
00:12:58.000And one time an NBC reporter asked me how many gay people were working in the Trump administration.
00:13:50.000Donald Trump looks at whether or not you can do the job and then he hires accordingly.
00:13:57.000So I think that it's really important that people understand, young people especially, that we're not keeping lists because we don't think it's a relevant characteristic.
00:14:07.000And that is a higher moral ground than somehow keeping lists and having people that are completely unqualified, but because they are wearing women's clothes and they're really out front and they can go on bravo.
00:14:20.000Somehow that that is, you know, representation matters is what they always say.
00:14:26.000I think competency matters more than anything.
00:14:28.000I mean, obviously, and the American people are totally on board for that.
00:14:31.000And they're not going to put up with planes falling out of the sky, trains being derailed, our quality of life being eroded because of some sort of fake progress list that makes themselves feel good.
00:14:43.000It doesn't do any good whatsoever, right?
00:14:46.000And you said, look, Donald Trump's a real guy.
00:14:50.000But I put Rick because he's a strong American and he's a patriot and he's going to do a great job.
00:14:56.000And Rick, I do think this is actually reaching a breaking point.
00:14:59.000I think some people, you know, have the majority of Americans might have, let's just say, neutral or moderate social views on these things.
00:15:08.000But at the same time, they say, I want a functioning country.
00:15:12.000I do not want my civilization to fall apart so that some ideologue can have a list.
00:15:19.000Look, I think I just want to say this at the forefront of this anti-woke gay agenda is the log cabin Republicans, conservatives who are literally trying to say, no, we don't want special rights.
00:15:33.000We think that it's terrible when you're trying to talk to a kindergartner about sex when you're not their parent.
00:16:18.000America has always been the world leader in invention, innovation, and technology.
00:16:23.000Now China is poised to take its place as the next world leader in technology.
00:16:27.000Don't miss the shocking new movie, Innovation Race, available now at SalemNow.com.
00:16:32.000It exposes the truth, how China is exploiting weaknesses in our U.S. patent system, stealing our inventions and technology, and we are helping them do it.
00:16:41.000China could soon control all of our 5G technology, which will eventually control all of our devices.
00:16:48.000With the flip of a switch, the Chinese Communist Party could turn off our power grids, remotely drive your car off your road, or turn off your pacemaker.
00:16:57.000Innovation Race is a clarion call to action.
00:17:02.000Unless we take a stand, China will become the next world leader, threatening our economic and military security and the very idea of American greatness.
00:17:11.000In today's high technology world, there is no prize for second place.
00:17:36.000I've not seen, there's only one negative email I got, and it's actually not negative.
00:17:39.000It's actually just a question, but it had some negative connotations to it where one person said, well, Charlie, you try to say Trump can't draw big crowds.
00:17:53.000There is no need to stress test that thesis any longer.
00:17:58.000But my whole argument for MAGA season two is that I think the rallies, I know they're expensive.
00:18:03.000I mean, they talk openly, the Trump campaign talked about how they spend millions of dollars, and they do, and they get it back in data, and they get it back in donations, but it's not cheap.
00:18:10.000You got to have the press rise or you got to have security, you got to have fencing, you got to have the stage, got to have lighting, got to have the AV, got to have security.
00:18:16.000It's a millions of dollars of operation.
00:18:18.000And so what if I told you you could actually get more virality, a bigger bang for your buck for the impromptu, the improv Trump?
00:18:27.000So not just McDonald's and all that, but you just find a random MAGA mom in Georgia, in rural Georgia, and Trump just goes into her living room and you just bring a couple cameras.
00:19:34.000I said Trump needs to be in the most natural environments time and time again with, you know, the just spontaneous, you got to be spontaneous.
00:19:44.000Joe Biden is going little circles and he's quarantining.
00:19:47.000You need to have Donald Trump be the regular man, go out, not be afraid.
00:20:42.000And the same could be to humanize him, to put him into the suburban mom's home.
00:20:48.000Like, go find someone that is a registered Republican, might not be a huge Trump fan, and put Trump right into that environment, not CNN, not MSNBC.
00:20:58.000And by the way, you don't let any of the opposition media in, okay?
00:21:24.000Look, the path to 2024 is going to be largely predicated on the machine that we build.
00:21:31.000But the same sort of Trump strategy, I do not think is going to get us to the promised land, which is getting the White House back so we can fix our country, save our country.
00:21:56.000You could get, by the way, Donald Trump just going and giving out water yesterday and going into the McDonald's, I think was hundreds of millions of dollars of free and earned media.
00:23:30.000Was Trump not amazing when he brought Chuck U. Schumer and Nancy Pelosi into the Oval Office and they had it out in front of the press pool on immigration?
00:23:40.000And Chuck Schumer was kind of his head down and submissive.
00:23:46.000And so I think what we saw yesterday in East Palestine, Ohio, if I may submit my opinion to you, the jury, the audience, is not just more of this, but this should become the new modus operandi of the entire Trump 2024 campaign.
00:24:04.000Spontaneity, originality, to where he's at his best.
00:24:08.000And you could think of a million different ideas.
00:24:12.000Instead of one MAGA rally at a time, MAGA, one house at a time.
00:24:15.000I'm going to go into your living room.
00:24:36.000You need to produce a television show because that's what politics is.
00:24:40.000If we're honest about ourselves, 2020, one of the reasons we fell short, obviously, you know, the nonsense, the ballots and all that garbage, but one of the reasons was that you tried to run Donald Trump in 2020 as a candidate.
00:24:52.000One of the reasons Donald Trump was successful in 2016 was he ran it like a television show.
00:25:05.000Donald Trump went to the Iowa caucus with a helicopter and everyone mocked him and he lands on the helicopter and he says, kids get free rides.
00:25:15.000And kids are coming up and saying, are you Batman?
00:26:02.000I think our willingness of what is safe for presidents and former presidents has definitely been pushed to the limit.
00:26:10.000Honestly, with Joe Biden taking a train to Kiev.
00:26:14.000Just to be honest, I think that if Joe Biden can take a train to Kiev, I think that Donald Trump can go into a golden corral with a couple people getting wanded, making sure no one has weapons, and he walks in.
00:26:54.000When Roe versus Wade fell as the law of the land last year, all it did was increase what pro-abortion states are doing to entice and mislead women to abort their children.
00:27:04.000States are now advertising to travel just to get an abortion.
00:27:09.000So the need to provide the truth as girls and women are contemplating what to do about their pregnancy is greater now than ever before.
00:27:16.000Ultrasounds save babies because ultrasounds give the truth at a time everyone else is saying it's not just a baby, it's just a clump of cells.
00:27:24.000When you introduce a girl to her baby by providing an ultrasound, you are giving her the truth at the most important time of her life.
00:27:31.000And more than 85% of the time, she will choose life.
00:27:35.000You don't have to make a lot of noise to make a big difference for life.
00:27:37.000Just give an ultrasound at preborn.org to be a hero for life.
00:28:16.000Most of it, some of it, we had to go to a much lesser quality water.
00:28:23.000You want to get those Trump bottles, I think, more than anybody else.
00:28:25.000But we're bringing a lot of water, thousands of bottles, and we have it in trucks.
00:28:28.000And we brought some on my plane today.
00:28:31.000But to that end, I'm pleased to announce that we've helped coordinate the delivery of the water and bottled water as well as the tractor trail is full of it.
00:28:40.000We have big tractor trailers full of water.
00:28:42.000I think you're going to have plenty of water for a long time, maybe.
00:28:45.000Now, I got to tell you, I'm very impressed by how angry Joe Scarborough is able to get between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.
00:28:54.000Like, I'm still just trying to figure out my bearings at this time, but this guy at like 7 a.m. Eastern is like his default setting is bitterness.
00:29:06.000And I really don't think he's a happy person because every time I see a clip of him, it's just scornful condemnation of anything that is not a robotic, technocratic, neoliberal.
00:29:20.000Joe Scarborough, just really just an angry person for 7 a.m., play cut 87.
00:29:27.000I mean, talking about Trump water, branded Trump water.
00:29:31.000And by the way, he's such a hypocrite, too, talking about attacking Joe Biden while Joe Biden is going, you know, risking his life fighting for Western democracy, something he doesn't give a damn about.
00:29:43.000Something, you know, when you have a guy that talks about suspending the Constitution, it's just absolutely insane.
00:29:51.000So that was risking his life, like Hillary Clinton dodging sniper fire or Brian Williams almost being swept away by a hurricane.
00:30:02.000Admittedly, him going to Kyiv took a spine.
00:30:34.000I think that's the current narrative there.
00:30:36.000So now Pete Buttigej is being asked questions in East Palestine, Ohio by our Turning Point USA reporters, and it's really bothering them because the regime media isn't just kind of saying, hey, Pete Budajej, please tell us about your deepest feelings of East Palestine.
00:30:54.000No, actually, he's getting real questions and it really irritates him.
00:30:57.000Savannah Hernandez from Turning Point USA, educational journalist right on the ground here, just asking Pete Buttigieg, and they said she's being too aggressive.
00:31:08.000So, can we ask why it took him almost three weeks to get here?
00:31:13.000I'm sorry, I don't want to do this on camera.
00:31:15.000Well, if you're the press secretary of the Secretary of the Department of Transportation, don't you think you should be able to ask questions from the American public?
00:31:37.000People that you guys support Turning Point USA, that's one of our best.
00:31:40.000Savannah Hernandez, part of our Frontlines project.
00:31:42.000We've got a lot of different projects going on at Turning Point USA, and this is what I'm so proud of, where the whole mission of frontlines is just to tell the truth.
00:31:49.000Go find powerful people and ask them questions.
00:32:08.000And then, of course, I was just counting the minutes.
00:32:11.000I said, how long until they attack Turning Point USA?
00:32:13.000Because now they're starting to learn that Turning Point USA is deploying energetic, very disciplined young journalists to the front lines, and that freaks them out.
00:32:24.000So Chaston, the partner, the husband of Pete Budajej, comes out and starts attacking Turning Point USA as disinformation artists.
00:32:37.000Like, okay, pal, you're trying to say we're disinformation artists?
00:32:41.000We're the one asking Pete your partner questions.
