Young people are idealists. They respond to a vision. For the past four years, they ve seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime. That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy. Under Biden, our young people own nothing, and they are miserable. Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright.

00:00:12.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:15.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:21.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
00:00:26.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:27.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:29.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:32.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.

00:01:49.000 Thanks to our work, I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast, and social media.
00:01:58.000 Said differently, I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.
00:02:06.000 I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears.

00:03:34.000 According to current projections, one-third of today's young Americans will never get married.
00:03:39.000 The average American is having fewer children than ever before.

00:04:08.000 Broken countries have addiction, depression, and suffering.
00:04:13.000 Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry, and work until they die, childless. 0.99

00:05:06.000 And listen carefully, everybody.
00:05:08.000 This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years.
00:05:22.000 To all the Gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just for you. 1.00

00:05:32.000 You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents.
00:05:35.000 You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy.
00:05:38.000 You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote.

00:05:47.000 Our current state of slow-motion national decline is a choice.
00:05:56.000 This November, we're going to choose success.
00:06:00.000 We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first.
00:06:06.000 We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election.
00:06:11.000 We together are going to do the work to save America.
00:06:17.000 We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters.
00:06:26.000 And all of us together working harder than ever, we will fire the Biden-Harris regime and put Donald Trump back in the White House where he belongs.
00:06:38.000 God bless you guys.
00:06:39.000 Thank you so much.
