00:01:29.000Get involved with Turning PointUSA today at tpusa.com.
00:01:33.000Come to our student action summit again at tpusa.com slash SAS.
00:01:52.000His 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.
00:02:00.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:38.000You know, it's interesting, Terry, because initially in this opinion that had been leaked, Justice Alito had written previously that we cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences, such as concern about the public's reaction to our work, talking about any reaction actually to that leak or what could happen if this ruling came down.
00:02:57.000And it would seem in delivering the same opinion today that that's exactly what they've done here.
00:03:02.000They've ignored any potential public reaction to this.
00:03:06.000They just ignored what public reaction.
00:03:47.000Not just that a bunch of degenerates were walking around with posters outside of his home, which is a violation of federal law, by the way.
00:03:55.000It is against federal law to protest outside of a Supreme Court justice's home with the intent to try and influence a Supreme Court decision.
00:04:10.000Now, I just want everyone to recognize Brett Kavanaugh had every reason to become like a John Roberts.
00:04:23.000But Brett Kavanaugh in particular, Gorsuch and Amy Cody Barrett to a lesser extent, they did everything they could to try to destroy Brett Kavanaugh.
00:04:30.000And let us all learn from Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas especially, how to react to the left when they try to destroy your life.
00:04:39.000When they try to destroy your life, when they try to obliterate your career, you punch back twice as hard.
00:04:50.000Now, I would be remiss if I did not mention two now passed away legends and heroes that are largely responsible, that helped us get where we are today.
00:05:04.000And that is Justice Anton and Scalia and the great Rush Limbaugh.
00:06:17.000Billy Graham, who spoke moral clarity into our times.
00:06:22.000Billy Graham, who was, in my opinion, the most successful evangelist in the 20th century.
00:06:28.000Who at any pastor you turn to, they have nothing bad to say about Billy Graham.
00:06:32.000Verse by verse, chapter by chapter, he preached the inerrancy of scripture, but he was very clear about the moral truths of our country or that undergird our country.
00:06:43.000And then finally, Trump brought all of this movement to fruition.
00:06:49.000And yes, I begrudgingly and reluctantly have to say, Mitch McConnell deserves credit for not putting Merrick Garland on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:07:37.000When you have big victories like this, you have to look back and say, like, yeah, someone I'm not a big fan of actually helped us get there.
00:07:42.000And I know some of you, I got angry emails yesterday when I said this about McConnell.
00:07:45.000You could be angry about it, but it's just factual.
00:08:45.000I bet the DOJ has probably already sent out a press release.
00:08:49.000And he would have been on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:08:51.000Now, someone emailed us: well, Charlie, Mitch McConnell should have put Merrick Garland up for a vote, and then he would have lost in the vote.
00:09:01.000We would have had Murkowski or Collins and a couple defectors, and Merrick Garland very well might have been on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:09:07.000But Mitch McConnell rolled the dice, and he said, Boy, if we can win back the White House and win back the Senate, we can fill Gorsuch's seat in the following February.
00:10:51.000And you know what's really interesting is this, in my opinion, in my lifetime, my 28 years, this is the most significant conservative policy victory of my life.
00:11:02.000And we must study carefully how did this happen?
00:11:06.000How can we then scale it for other pro-parent victories?
00:11:11.000How can we make this a starting point of a journey of a million steps that starts with a single step?
00:16:36.000What they're really saying is he won an election he wasn't supposed to win.
00:16:42.000It was supposed to be this seamless transformation from Barack Hussein Obama to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
00:16:50.000And the cartel and the gang was going to stay in charge, but it all went south.
00:16:58.000The unexpected, robust, anti-fragile conservative movement that was beat down relentlessly under the Obama regime, appointed a billionaire businessman with a colorful life history.
00:17:14.000And despite the fact that a tape comes out in early October, the Billy Bush tape, Donald Trump still received support from evangelicals and Christians and pro-lifers and parents because they said, hey, at the very least, I know we're going to get good judges.
00:17:30.000And for every one of you out there that don't like Trump and you say, I can't stand the man, he's unethical, whatever.
00:17:37.000And you still voted for him, God bless you because you now have been vindicated for realizing that there is a greater good above someone's moral shortcomings.
00:17:51.000Hey, everybody, as you know, our friend Mike Lindell has an amazing passion to help everyone get the best sleep of your life.
00:17:57.000He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.
00:18:49.000Your initial thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision.
00:18:52.000Well, it's just an amazing day to experience.
00:18:56.000Many people have worked for nearly 50 years to get to this moment where abortion law is returned to the people.
00:19:03.000A lot of people understood that Roe B. Wade was a poorly decided decision.
00:19:07.000You have a consensus on that, whether that's pro-lifers or people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:19:12.000But it had managed to hold for a very long period of time, and it took a lot of work from a lot of people and human rights activists and pro-life leaders and the conservative judicial movement.
00:19:27.000And it's just a wonderful day for women and their children and their families.
00:19:31.000And of course, it also means there's a lot of work to come in the days and years ahead to protect these families and to also create a culture of life.
00:19:41.000And so it seems as if the Democrats are immediately pivoting this, as we would expect, towards kind of looking at the midterms, trying to use this as a way to stir up their base.
00:19:49.000You have a phenomenal piece out on the Federalists calling, yes, Biden is hiding his plan to rig the 2022 midterm elections at the federalists.com.
00:19:59.000Well, I wrote a book on the 2020 election and what Democrats did to control that election.
00:20:05.000It focused a lot on the private takeover of government election systems, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg's $450 million, where they went into the blue areas of swing states and essentially ran the get-out-the-vote operation in those areas.
00:20:20.000Well, in March of 2021, Biden issued an executive order demanding that 600 federal agencies start getting involved in elections.
00:20:30.000There is no authority given to the executive branch to meddle in state elections.
00:20:36.000Congress has not granted them that authority.
00:20:38.000It's also worrisome because federal agencies, of course, hand out benefits.
00:20:42.000There have been laws put in place to actually ban agencies from tying elections with federal benefits, you know, to ban political activity.
00:20:51.000Mobilizing voters is an inherently political act.
00:20:54.000Well, people who were worried about this, constitutional scholars, Republican politicians, people of that, you know, media figures, they started asking for what more details on this plan.
00:21:04.000And the Biden administration has steadfastly refused to share details about what their plan is, even as we are beginning to see it being put into place.
00:21:15.000You are seeing agencies take, you know, what are supposed to be public-facing, say, job training centers and turning them into get out the vote operations.
00:21:23.000And you're seeing that in the Department of Labor, Department of Education, centers for Medicaid and Medicare, all sorts of things, but they're not being honest or transparent about exactly what they're doing.
00:21:32.000And so people who care about election security are frankly very worried, not just that it's happening, but that the details of it are being kept hidden from the public.
00:21:41.000Yeah, you write here in the piece, when President Biden ordered all 600 federal agencies to, quote, expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about participating in the electoral process.
00:21:52.000Most people really aren't aware of this.
00:21:55.000Is this even remotely legal to mobilize the federal civil service and bureaucracy for a potential political aim?
00:22:03.000So many congressional committees and many congressmen have been sounding the alarm that this is not in fact legal.
00:22:10.000Never has Congress given authority to executive branch agencies to do this kind of election-related activity.
00:22:17.000You know, it came out in an executive order.
00:22:19.000And in order to litigate this, you kind of need some details.
00:22:23.000So there actually have been lawsuits filed by good government groups who are just at this point trying to figure out exactly what's going on.
00:22:29.000The lack of transparency is a serious problem because everyone needs to have elections that are free and fair and that they can trust.
00:22:37.000And using the power and the wealth of the federal government to mobilize voters in what is surely a partisan fashion is a threat to our system.
00:22:47.000And it's very important that people know what's going on, that answers be given immediately, and that people be able to fight about it.
00:22:56.000So tell us proactively what anybody could do, state legislatures or anyone, it's not too late, in my opinion, to try to prevent this from occurring.
00:23:28.000Both secretaries of state and state legislatures can make it clear that they know and assert that the Constitution gives the authority to run elections to the states.
00:23:40.000And that includes registering voters, having authority over who's on a voter role or not.
00:23:46.000One of the reasons why people are concerned about this massive federal overtaking of elections is that all 50 states have different laws governing their election processes.
00:23:54.000It would be foolish to assume that these federal bureaucrats would have knowledge of those different laws, of what the different rules and regulations are.
00:24:02.000And our voter roles are, frankly, a mess.
00:24:04.000And that's a problem in traditional elections.
00:24:07.000It's a disaster when you're talking about insecure, unsupervised mail-in balloting where a lot of shenanigans take place.
00:24:14.000That's something everybody agreed with, whether they were liberal media or Jimmy Carter or otherwise, right up until the 2020 election.
00:24:21.000You want to have elections where you have clear understanding of who's eligible to vote, how those ballots are being handled, that there's no corruption or compulsion involved.
00:24:31.000And we are working hard in these last few years to destabilize our elections.
00:24:36.000And you can see where that is something that's very bad for the health of the Republic.
00:24:40.000So, yes, absolutely, secretaries of states can start issuing letters.
00:24:44.000I believe that the West Virginia Secretary of State might have already done so.
00:24:48.000There's actually a meeting of Secretaries of State that is happening right now or soon in Louisiana.
00:24:55.000So they'll all be probably talking about it.
00:24:57.000They need to assert that they are the agents of authority to manage their voter roles and the administration of elections.
00:25:05.000So I want to play a tape here of Joe Biden talking about wanting to codify Roe v. Wade via Congress, which would only be possible, in my opinion, if they are able to change the structure of how our elections are conducted.
00:25:49.000And what this decision does today is allows the people of each state to debate abortion law and what they think abortion law should be in their given states.
00:26:00.000This is what Roe v. Wade has stolen from the people for the last 50 years.
00:26:05.000It really just brings people back to a starting line.
00:26:08.000Now is where you go back to your state legislatures or work through ballot referendums to protect human life and to support mothers, or you don't.
00:26:16.000And so it is absolutely going to be a continuation of a fight, but this is what has been forbidden and taken from the people for 50 years.
00:26:24.000Now, I do think that Joe Biden is wrong to think that this will be politically advantageous for his side.
00:26:30.000The true middle ground in America is not to protect all human life.
00:26:36.000Sadly, I think the middle ground is very much represented by this Dobbs decision, which says that the state has an interest in limiting abortion after 15 weeks.
00:26:47.000It's one that was forbidden from this extreme jurisprudence of Roe v. Wade.
00:26:53.000And we have seen in recent years where Democrats have tried to make really big hay out of attempts to protect human life, and it hasn't really worked.
00:27:02.000It was their main issue in the Virginia gubernatorial election.
00:27:05.000Well, you might remember Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia governor's race, even though the opposition was laser focused on trying to make it all about abortion and scaremongering about what would happen if Glenn Young was put into office.
00:27:20.000It doesn't seem to be having as salient an effect as Democrats have hoped.
00:27:24.000And that's probably because we've seen states that have successfully limited abortion and it's been working out really well.
00:27:30.000And it's also because Democrats control everything right now and their policies are so unpopular and so bad for the American people.
00:27:37.000It's just, that's what people are focused on.
00:29:53.000They're in full freakout mode, by the way, outside of the Supreme Court.
00:29:57.000I pray it doesn't turn into violence, but it sure seems as if the Democrat leaders are acting so incredibly irresponsibly, basically saying we're to take to the streets.
00:30:11.000I really want everything to remain peaceful, but this seems like it's hitting a fever pitch, the likes of which will only parallel that of the Floyd riots a couple summers ago.
00:30:50.000Particularly how the how Donald Trump appointed the Supreme Court, how he went about it, particularly that, you know, and the whole Scalia thing with McConnell and all that.
00:30:59.000There really is a lot of people who believe this is a rigged court.
00:31:05.000Yeah, so saying things are rigged when you don't get what you want, perfectly fine.
00:31:10.000For us to question an election, unlike anything we've ever seen before, you get called all these names by the left.
00:31:35.000So since that draft opinion leak, there have reportedly been more than 40 attacks on pro-life groups and churches.
00:31:40.000The pro-abortion group, Jane's Revenge, says it's behind some of them.
00:31:44.000That group has also apparently hung flyers around Washington, D.C., threatening a night of rage if the court overturns Roe.
00:31:52.000Now, this group, Jane's Revenge, if we had an actual Department of Justice, they could easily arrest them all.
00:31:57.000I'm calling for every Republican attorney general, if Jane's Revenge operates in your state, you need to open up a RICO case, a mob case against Jane's Revenge.
00:32:06.000Jane's Revenge is a domestic terror organization that has been firebombing pro-life clinics across America.
00:32:11.000If you are unaware about the firebombing happening in pro-life clinics, that shows how dishonest the press is.
00:32:17.000Over 40 pro-life clinics across America that actually help women have children, help bring beautiful babies into the world, are now being targeted by Jane's Revenge, a domestic terror outfit.
00:32:38.000Why these Republican attorney generals are not doing immediate criminal investigations and getting subpoenas and warrants behind these Jane's Revenge people?
00:32:47.000They need to act with swift movement and find out who's funding this, finding out who's doing this.
00:33:42.000Could you imagine if there was a hit the streets for a MAGA riot?
00:33:47.000Oh, that's when you get a special counsel and a full investigation by a committee.
00:33:53.000We're going to keep our eyes on this very closely as this continues.
00:33:57.000I just want to summarize this, and I've said this before, but why I want to reinforce the point, which is the country will not save itself.
00:34:06.000But if we commit ourselves to doing the small things and the hard things, from elections to winning arguments to legal briefs to court selection to judges, having a bottom-up, stable, focused movement, then we can win.
00:34:25.000We can do things that otherwise would have seemed so out of grasp.
00:34:29.000That is the call to action for this moment as a conservative movement.
