00:00:54.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:56.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:58.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:01.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:04.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:05.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:06.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:08.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:15.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:24.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:26.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:35.000 Yesterday, we were in St. Charles, Illinois, right on the Fox River, standing in solidarity with the amazing Turning Point USA students that have been organizing walkouts that have been standing up against the mask tyranny and medical discrimination that has been happening in the high schools in suburban Chicago.

00:01:56.000 There were parents, there were students, they were grandparents that were, let's just say, very enthusiastic and angry, and they should be, about the continued mask policies that are occurring in these high schools all across where I grew up.

00:02:14.000 Now, a couple things struck me.

00:02:15.000 Number one is how ready to fight the people of Illinois are.

00:02:22.000 I have not seen that type of energy in quite some time.

00:02:25.000 It reminds me of pockets of California, of people that are just fighting so hard for their freedom and liberty, despite the oppressive and authoritarian measures to try to break their spirit and their morale.

00:02:37.000 You know, we did the event a little bit different.

00:02:39.000 We had several Turning Point USA students speak before I came on stage.

00:02:44.000 I just sat there and listened to them, and I was blown away how articulate they were, how courageous they were.

00:02:49.000 All high school students, by the way, high school students.

00:02:52.000 That were talking about how they take a stand against the administration and their teachers.

00:02:56.000 They've lost all their friends.

00:02:58.000 They are forced to go into their own room without a mask on because they don't want to wear a mask on.

00:03:04.000 And they're happier and freer than ever.

00:03:07.000 It was very surreal and emotional for me because I spoke at that Arcata theater in St. Charles before.

00:03:15.000 And I actually did it when I was in high school.

00:03:17.000 I spoke there at a local tea party meeting.

00:03:21.000 And then to have 10 years later, almost exactly 10 years later, a new generation of kids who were eight years old when I started Turning Point USA, there at the theater, fighting for the very same values and principles that we were articulating 10 years ago.

00:03:39.000 The first time I feel as if there's like this intergenerational kind of movement.

00:03:45.000 And not by intergenerational, I don't, I've meant that older generations have supported us so generously.

00:03:52.000 I mean now that there's a generation younger than me.

00:03:54.000 That's something I've never experienced before.

00:03:57.000 That there's a generation 10 years younger that is fighting hard and they're willing to do what is necessary.

00:04:05.000 I want to play some tape from this.

00:04:06.000 It was so moving.

00:04:07.000 I'm pushing our Turning Point USA development team and media team really hard to get the kind of montage of the students.

00:04:18.000 It was so powerful.

00:04:21.000 Let's play Cut 80.

00:04:22.000 It's a short cut up.

00:04:24.000 JB Pritzker and the government do not give us our rights.

00:04:27.000 Our rights are given by one person and one person only, and that is Jesus Christ.

00:04:31.000 Our wonderful country and our beautiful state is in such a fallen state because Americans chose to stay silent and not stand up.

00:04:39.000 At my school last Tuesday, around 50 of us refused to wear a mask, and our school decided to segregate us into the auditorium, not letting us get our education until we put on a face muzzle.

00:04:52.000 Since when was segregation ever the answer?

00:04:55.000 At this point, they're just begging for the lawsuits.

00:04:58.000 This was never about the health of our or safety of our children.

00:05:01.000 This was about control, and it started at the local level.

00:05:05.000 They're high school kids.

00:05:06.000 So if you're listening to this right now across the country and you have students that are being oppressed, they can do that.

00:05:12.000 They should do that.

00:05:13.000 It's one of the reasons why we came to Chicago and wanted to support them.

00:05:21.000 It was Leslie Mendoza, Turning Point USA chapter leader, Peter Christos, Turning Point USA chapter leader at Glenberg North, and Samuel Phillips, Turning Point USA chapter leader at Niles West High School.

00:05:31.000 So Samuel Phillips comes up and speaks, and he tells a story about how when he organized a protest against masks at a school, immediately there were these fake accusations that part of his group were using the N-word and making monkey noises.

00:05:50.000 None of this was true.

00:05:51.000 The NAACP has swooped in to try to make this a big issue. 0.88

00:05:55.000 Now, of course, Chicago is quite used to fake hate crimes.

00:05:59.000 Jussie Smollett, right down the street.

00:06:02.000 We've had other Turning Point USA students that have been victim of fake hate crimes.

00:06:07.000 In particular, a young lady in Minnesota, if I remember correctly, it was White Bear Lake or something.

00:06:14.000 We'll get the name of it.

00:06:15.000 She was recently a victim of that.

00:06:16.000 Play Cut 85.

00:06:18.000 My friend Murphy Maeve Holler and I decided that enough was enough, and we organized a walkout on Thursday.

00:06:25.000 The walkout went great, and we were able to raise a lot of awareness around the school.

00:06:29.000 But later that day, when I got home, I heard this terrible, terrible, terrible rumor that students, some people thought it was me, were saying the N-word and making monkey noises at other students.

00:06:41.000 I was so blindsided by this accusation that I couldn't believe the lies that they were trying to make up.

00:06:46.000 The reason why I know that this was a lie was when I went to the school and I asked them to punish these kids because this was a terrible thing, right?

00:06:53.000 Punish these kids, right?

00:06:54.000 They couldn't name one student and they couldn't provide any evidence that this ever happened at all.

00:06:59.000 But because of this accusation, the progressive group abolition coalition organized a press conference and a protest with the NAACP trying to slander our movement.

00:07:10.000 Trying to slander their movement of turning point USA students and freedom lovers and people that want their constitutional rights.

00:07:17.000 Immediately, they go and play the race card.

00:07:19.000 Immediately.

00:07:19.000 Oh, you want to protest masks?

00:07:21.000 Race card.

00:07:23.000 You want to try to push back against what's happening?

00:07:26.000 Race card.

00:07:27.000 I could go through and play tape after tape.

00:07:29.000 We're going to play a little bit more as we go on, but I just want to reinforce something, which is these students don't have to be doing this.

00:07:39.000 They could be doing sports, applying for colleges, which I would not recommend.

00:07:44.000 They could be doing all sorts of different things, hanging out with friends.

00:07:47.000 No, but they're spending their time, those three, and we have so many others.

00:07:52.000 They're saying, you know what?

00:07:53.000 No, I actually want to contest for liberty.

00:07:55.000 I want to get in the arena.

00:07:57.000 And what was so amazing is how inspired the parents were.

00:08:02.000 We talk about the building of the parents' party.

00:08:05.000 We talk about the movement, grassroots of parents taking ownership for their kids' education.

00:08:12.000 But what's so great is we are now seeing this intersection of parents that are helping their students, but also students that are rising up themselves.

00:08:20.000 And I asked some of these activists, I said, what do your parents think?

00:08:22.000 They're like, oh, yeah, my parents don't really support me very much, but I'm going to do it anyway.

00:08:27.000 That's not all the students.

00:08:28.000 Some of them, I said, that's amazing.

00:08:30.000 I said, so you're doing this without your parents?

00:08:31.000 They said, yes.

00:08:32.000 He said, I'm inspired by what turning point USA is doing.

00:08:34.000 I need to fight for my rights or else this country is going to fall apart.

00:08:39.000 There's a lot of bad news in the world.

00:08:42.000 Inflation, open borders, the current administration.

00:08:45.000 But this is some really awesome news.

00:08:49.000 Where in the bluest, darkest, one of the bluest and darkest places on the planet, you're seeing that next generation. 1.00

00:08:58.000 And dare I say, incredibly articulate, too.

00:09:01.000 It's not easy to come up and give a speech like that.

00:09:04.000 If you look at 18-year-old Charlie versus, these kids are way more advanced than I was in high school.

00:09:10.000 And you know what?

00:09:10.000 They need to be because the stakes are higher.

00:09:13.000 When I was in high school, we weren't talking about CRT masks, woke, and vaccine mandates, men can become pregnant or black-only dormitories. 0.80

00:09:20.000 We were talking about higher or lower taxes.

00:09:22.000 The stakes are higher.

00:09:24.000 And a new generation of students is rising up to fight for their rights, to fight for their future, to fight for what really matters.

00:09:36.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:09:37.000 Producer Andrews right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:09:40.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:09:43.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:09:48.000 That can do it getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:09:52.000 They are on a mission.

00:09:53.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:09:55.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:10:01.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:10:02.000 So here's the deal.

00:10:32.000 These students were so incredibly inspiring.

00:10:35.000 And I just think that it's so incredibly important to stand up for your rights at a young age.

00:10:42.000 It really is.

00:10:45.000 Cut 86, a young man recounts how he was walking through his school hallway maskless.

00:10:51.000 He was verbally and physically attacked by another student and ended up being sent to the office rather than the assailant because he was maskless.

00:11:00.000 Now, of course, these schools couldn't care less, the suburban Chicago schools of Nile West, Niles West, or Glenbrook North.

00:11:06.000 They couldn't care less about increase in suicides, self-harm, mental health issues, alcoholism, depression, anxiety.

00:11:16.000 No, they're really worried about whether or not your child is obediently wearing a mask, which is really bad for IQ development, speech development, social immersion.

00:11:28.000 Play cut 86.

00:11:30.000 But as I continued my way through the school mask, like any patriotic American would do who loves their rights, I was approached by an individual who swore at me, flipped me off, slapped myself in my phone.

00:11:44.000 All of this happened because I was not complying and I was standing up for what's right.

00:11:50.000 After these events, after just getting sworn at, assaulted, cut, scratched, and grabbed, the teachers protected him, cheered him on, and applauded him.

00:11:58.000 And I was the one sent to the office.

00:12:01.000 Now, for those of you that are living across the country in free states, I'm saying, what are they protesting?

00:12:07.000 Mask mandates are still in at many of these high schools.

00:12:10.000 And let me tell you a story yesterday.

00:12:13.000 I had to make a couple phone calls.

00:12:14.000 I was in Barrington, Illinois, visiting some friends and some Turning Point USA supporters.

00:12:19.000 And so we went to a coffee shop.

00:12:23.000 And I go into the coffee shop and they say, show me your papers.

00:12:28.000 I said, what are you talking about?

00:12:29.000 Show me your papers.

00:12:30.000 What papers?

00:12:31.000 And this is how desensitized the freedom I have become living in Arizona.

00:12:38.000 They said, show us your vaccination records.

00:12:41.000 So what are you talking about?

00:12:42.000 Like my MMR, my polio vaccine, my smallpox?

00:12:45.000 Like, what are you talking about?

00:12:46.000 They said, no, your COVID vaccine papers.

00:12:49.000 I said, what, you're actually doing this?

00:12:52.000 And they literally were like, back up, back up.

00:12:57.000 This is Chicago suburbs.

00:12:59.000 As if I was a leper.

00:13:03.000 Show us your papers.

00:13:06.000 So then I said yesterday at the event, I retold this story and I compared it to East Germany.

00:13:14.000 And the media is Charlie likens being asked for vaccine papers to the Nazi regime.

00:13:20.000 Like, yeah, of course I'm likening it to it.

00:13:21.000 This is insane.

00:13:24.000 Of course, that was worse, but this is the same sort of pattern, trajectory of tyranny that we saw in previous totalitarian governments.

00:13:35.000 By the way, East Germany is not even, they don't know their history, but that's okay.

00:13:38.000 That's fine.

00:13:40.000 It's close.

00:13:41.000 East Germany was not of the National Socialist Workers' Party.

00:13:45.000 But when you go into a restaurant to go pick up some coffee at a place where you grew up in, and they're asking you for your intimate medical records, yeah, you got a serious problem.

00:13:55.000 I know a lot of you listening right now are like, this is an unknown thing.

00:13:58.000 I mean, in Florida, Sarasota, it's maskless, walk into a restaurant, do whatever you want, free, open, happy, safe, nice.

00:14:05.000 Chicago, there's just this meanness that has just kind of come over the people that work in these places.

00:14:14.000 And I guess they have a sense of purpose.

00:14:17.000 It does create, and this is a term we created.

00:14:19.000 I hear it here and there in little pockets, micro-tyrants.

00:14:24.000 In order for big tyranny to be implemented, it takes lots of little people to do the legwork.

00:14:32.000 And so you have someone that works at Corner Bakery or whatever, and they become really important, like really important, almost overnight, instantaneously, checking for vaccination records.

00:14:45.000 The only way it's going to stop is to go through it.

00:14:48.000 It's going to keep on organizing.

00:14:51.000 You keep on spreading the message.

00:14:53.000 It's going to be more students rising up, speaking out.

00:14:59.000 Thankfully, you're starting to see these mandates collapse both worldwide and nationwide.

00:15:06.000 But that's only part of it.

00:15:08.000 Kind of rescinding these mandates is part of it.

00:15:11.000 But the other part is justice.

00:15:13.000 Who's actually going to be held accountable for this multi-year crime against humanity and our children?

00:15:20.000 Who's actually going to have to pay for this?

00:15:23.000 The billionaires are richer than ever.

00:15:25.000 The corporations have more power than ever.

00:15:27.000 Pharmaceutical companies have more power than ever.

00:15:30.000 We're just going to kind of act like, oh, yeah, that was two years.

00:15:33.000 Sorry.

00:15:34.000 Or actually, not so sorry.

00:15:38.000 We're going to have to entertain some ideas of what justice looks like.

00:15:43.000 Look, did you get hit with a big tax spill you were not expecting with rates still being very low and home equity being high?

00:15:50.000 It's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.

00:15:53.000 Look, you could go to one of these woke banks, Citibank, Chase, where they hate you, they hate the country, and they hate Christianity.

00:16:01.000 Or you could refinance right now all of your mortgage needs of my friends.

00:16:05.000 Guess what?

00:16:06.000 It's so easy to remember the website, andrewandtodd.com.

00:16:55.000 I think we're going to demand a correction at a Media Matters.

00:16:57.000 Media Matters says, Charlie Kirk likens a restaurant asking him for vaccine status to living in Nazi Germany.

00:17:04.000 Well, no, I actually never said that.

00:17:05.000 I said, quote, and it really sunk in coming back home to Illinois, you know, being treated like I'm visiting East Germany.

00:17:11.000 Literally, no exaggeration.

00:17:13.000 Okay, East Germany was not part of the third, the attempted Third Reich.

00:17:16.000 I demand a correction.

00:17:18.000 Know your history.

00:17:20.000 Well, they don't.

00:17:21.000 They just think everything German must be.

00:17:23.000 Yeah, actually, no, that's not true.

00:17:24.000 Andrew's on the case.

00:17:26.000 They'll be getting an email very soon.

00:17:30.000 Okay.

00:17:31.000 I want to play another tape here.

00:17:33.000 Cut 84, young lady praising our efforts and the fighters in the audience.

00:17:38.000 Play Cut 84.

00:17:40.000 This is only my second year of being actively involved with this amazing organization, and I could not be more proud to be a part of this team.

00:17:47.000 I'm so incredibly honored to be here speaking alongside one of the great leaders that I've looked up to for years.

00:17:52.000 Someone who has become one of the most amazing role models in my life and who I have learned so much from.

00:17:57.000 It's hard sometimes.

00:17:59.000 Kids are brutal and they'll do every possible thing to break you down, but you guys are unbreakable.

00:18:04.000 If you're joining us here tonight, I know you're a fighter.

00:18:07.000 You're already on the right path.

00:18:08.000 I promise you, it's all worth it.

00:18:10.000 You live in the greatest country in the world, fighting for your God-given rights and the principles this nation was built on.

00:18:16.000 High school kids.

00:18:17.000 High school kids.

00:18:18.000 I want to just re-emphasize that.

00:18:20.000 It's just an unbelievable thing that these high school kids are doing that.

00:18:23.000 It's Leslie Mendoza.

00:18:25.000 Okay, I want to get to another clip here of just kind of the bubbling up effect that's been happening in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:18:35.000 And it's actually a friend of mine, Mark Weiermüller, who was there last night.

00:18:41.000 And it should be cut 62.

00:18:43.000 This is now made national news because he spoke out at a school board meeting.

00:18:47.000 Everyone listening to my voice should show up to your school board meetings because then things like this happen and they go viral.

00:18:54.000 Mark Weiermüller shows up.

00:18:56.000 He's a taxpayer and they didn't like that.

00:18:58.000 Play tape.

00:18:59.000 We'll start your two minutes now, sir.

00:19:02.000 This is not what you promised.

00:19:04.000 You said if they don't wear a mask, they can't speak.

00:19:10.000 I have a mask.

00:19:11.000 I can wear the mask on my head if you want.

00:19:13.000 I mean, it's just you can wear your mask on your ball.

00:19:21.000 Enough, enough.

00:19:22.000 We're going to take recess for five minutes.

00:19:25.000 Please.

00:19:26.000 Take a room if he can't put his mask on.

00:19:30.000 Mr. Todd, please.

00:19:34.000 Recess in five minutes. 0.92

00:19:35.000 These people are deranged.

00:19:37.000 That's a school board member swearing openly at a taxpayer because he won't wear a mask after all the wonderful vaccines came forward and the boosters came forward, and he's swearing at a taxpayer over that.

00:19:49.000 Who's actually in charge?

00:19:50.000 Who is the sovereign?

00:19:51.000 That's the question that we need to keep on asking.

00:19:54.000 Is the weird, creepy school board guy that just is screaming and swearing the sovereign, or is it the taxpayer?

00:20:00.000 Actually, Mark Weiermuller is the sovereign.

00:20:03.000 Why are parents speaking out?

00:20:05.000 Why are they getting more and more angry?

00:20:09.000 The Postmillennial.com, quote, Oakland School launches Transition Closet to help students hide gender dysphoria from parents.

00:20:18.000 A transition closet has come to Oakland's Fremont High School.

00:20:22.000 The concept, which began in an Arkansas church, first launched at a Good Shepherd Lutheran church in Fayetteville, is designed to let trans-identified youth circumvent their parents and socially transition without their knowledge.

00:20:36.000 Now, the fact that this started in a church is really bizarre.

00:20:40.000 That's exactly what I was thinking, right?

00:20:42.000 I just want to pause.

00:20:43.000 I just want to say this whole idea of a transition closet started in a Lutheran church.

00:20:48.000 What do you think Martin Luther would think about that?

00:20:51.000 The Transition Closet announced with glee the new chapter from Fremont High School, right?

00:20:57.000 And quote, we are extremely excited to begin our journey in working with Fremont High School in Oakland, California, alongside our favorite teacher of TikTok, quote, just a queer teacher, as was first reported by a Twitter account Teacher Exposed.

00:21:12.000 Quote, the goal of the transition closet is for students to wear clothes that their parents approve of, come to school, and then swap out into clothes that fit who they truly are.

00:21:26.000 I'm going to pause for a second.

00:21:30.000 The goal of tyrants is to break the bond between the parent and the child.

00:21:37.000 The only one of the 10 commandments that comes with a promise and involves your nation, the only one that comes with both a promise and involves your country, is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.

00:21:52.000 It's the only 10 commandments that come with a promise if you follow it and it involves your nation.

00:21:58.000 They want to cut off the transmission, the passing down of tradition, order, and values to children because then the queer teacher takes the place. 1.00

00:22:12.000 And that's not a pejorative, by the way.

00:22:14.000 If I said that 10 years ago, I'd be arrested by the ACLU or whatever.

00:22:17.000 Now they call themselves queer teacher. 0.96

00:22:20.000 They want to cut kids off from their parents.

00:22:23.000 And so now at a public school where they got this from some Lutheran church in Arkansas, which I just can't get over, they are encouraging students to wear one thing to school, lie to their parents. 0.61

00:22:35.000 Basically, they're encouraging deceit at minimum, outward lying at most, where they change their clothes to be somebody else, some other gender. 0.99

00:22:46.000 Quote, I use the idea that this is like Superman changing in a phone booth, but that idea actually goes a lot further because Superman isn't Clark Kent.

00:22:54.000 Clark Kent is actually the disguise.

00:22:56.000 And when Clark Kent goes into the phone booth, he transforms into Superman because that's who he really is.

00:23:02.000 The Facebook page for the transition closet spoke about the needs of the new transition closet.

00:23:08.000 Quote, the near future holds transition closets and services throughout the school district for the students of the trans, non-binary, intersex, and additional LGBTQIA plus.

00:23:17.000 Woo! 0.99

00:23:17.000 That's a lot, isn't it? 0.99

00:23:19.000 Community members.

00:23:21.000 We are currently in need of clothing donations to help kickstart the first school-based transition closet.

00:23:27.000 And they gave more information where materials could donate.

00:23:29.000 I guarantee you there'll be a lot of donations coming from this Bay Area for this thing.

00:23:33.000 The transition closet, which features videos teaching girls how to bind their breasts so they appear more masculine, recently received a grant from the Arkansas.

00:23:43.000 What the heck is going on in Arkansas?

00:23:45.000 It's that whole Asa Hutchinson thing.

00:23:47.000 It's really weird.

00:23:49.000 The grant will be used to, quote, provide gender-affirming clothing and accessories for transgender and non-binary Arkansas residents.

00:23:59.000 The Transition Closet thanked the Big Binder Project, which provides free chest binders to girls seeking to hide their breasts. 0.84

00:24:10.000 This is what they're worried about.

00:24:12.000 Not suicide, fentanyl overdoses.

00:24:16.000 They're funding projects in public schools so girls can learn how to bind their breasts. 1.00

00:24:20.000 Like, really?

00:24:22.000 The only requirement we have is, quote, that you need to be in need of a binder and there's no way to afford or obtain one on your own.

00:24:30.000 In discussing the plans for the installation of the transition closet at Fremont High School, they said they're establishing transition closets worldwide.

00:24:40.000 Quote, my principal just approved our school district's first transition closet.

00:24:44.000 We'll be working with the organization, the transition closet, to provide clothes for transgender, blah, Okay. 1.00

00:24:50.000 It's unclear if Oakland's Fremont High School will also be facilitating getting binders to trans or non-binary identified female students at the school without their parents' knowledge or consent.

00:25:02.000 That's public school.

00:25:03.000 Coming from Arkansas, ballplace, it's really weird. 0.59

00:25:07.000 There's a new story from the Federalist: Meet the Sex Shop Founder Who Is Grooming Children Through Books in School Libraries by Spencer Lindquist.

00:25:20.000 And it includes such obscene material.

00:25:23.000 It's just hard to even believe.

00:25:24.000 It's hard to even say on air.

00:25:28.000 Transition closets.

00:25:30.000 Yeah, that's why parents are pulling their kids out of school. 0.98

00:25:36.000 Oakland School launched his transition closet to hide gender dysphoria from parents.

00:25:43.000 And where are the churches speaking out against this?

00:25:45.000 They're just like, oh, no, I'm sorry.

00:25:46.000 The churches are helping.

00:25:47.000 Some of them are helping.

00:25:48.000 Not all of them.

00:25:49.000 There's a lot of great churches out there, obviously.

00:25:50.000 We work with a lot of them.

00:25:51.000 But why is it that all of a sudden it's like, oh, yeah, thanks, Lutheran Church, for teaching us how to do this?

00:25:55.000 That's really telling, isn't it?

00:25:57.000 The Lutheran Church is leading in helping kids chemically castrate themselves, amongst other things.

00:26:09.000 There is a concerted, well-funded effort to break the bond, the material bond, another bond that parents have with their children.

00:26:21.000 Tyranny thrives when parent-child relations disappear and deteriorate.

00:26:29.000 Dictators would love nothing more than to see parents and children no longer talk and no longer have relationships with one another.

00:26:40.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:26:42.000 I love supplements.

00:26:43.000 If you could see my supply of various supplements, you'd think I was training for the Olympics.

00:26:47.000 But I had to pick one supplement that transcends all the others.

00:26:51.000 And it would have to be Balance of Nature.

00:26:53.000 I struggle sometimes to get my fruits and vegetables, hectic schedule, crazy travel, boarding planes, taxis, checking into hotels, and being screamed at by angry leftists.

00:27:03.000 It's really hard to find time to go to the farmer's market and get greens, beets, pineapples, oranges, and kiwis.

00:27:08.000 However, if you aren't getting a lot of daily fruits and vegetables, I could tell you balance of nature is the thing for you.

00:27:14.000 Get your immune system up and running by taking Balance of Nature's 10 servings of fruits and veggies, all in six tiny capsules.

00:27:39.000 One year ago today, the great Rush Limbaugh went to heaven.

00:27:45.000 He was special.

00:27:46.000 I'll tell you what.

00:27:48.000 All the times driving all across the country, it was a tradition.

00:27:53.000 When I was first getting Turning Point USA started, I would rent cars.

00:27:59.000 You know, I couldn't rent a car until I was like 22 or 23 or whatever.

00:28:02.000 And I'd always be going to meetings and I'd try to schedule my meetings so I could be in the car during Rush.

00:28:10.000 And so you'd Google like Los Angeles Rush affiliate, right?

00:28:15.000 And I'd be driving from, I don't know, Santa Barbara or Oxnard to Orange County.

00:28:24.000 And I'd be making calls in between, but right there on the radio is Rush.

00:28:29.000 No matter where I was in the country, I could always get my Rush.

00:28:31.000 And so then my great friend Tom Patrick, may he rest in peace, he was so special.

00:28:36.000 He really got me onto Rush when Rush, I think, was at his best.

00:28:39.000 Rush was at his absolute best, in my personal opinion.

00:28:42.000 Not that he was ever bad, but just when I think he was just hitting home run after home run during 2016, 17, and 18.

00:28:50.000 Those were the three years where Rush was most needed when it was the Amy, the not Amy Clinton, the Christine Balls A. Ford stuff, the Russia Gate stuff, and the Trump stuff in 16.

00:29:00.000 Rush was spectacular.

00:29:04.000 He kept people at ease about Trump.

00:29:06.000 He kept people at ease about the whole thing.

00:29:10.000 He was just so special.

00:29:13.000 I could go on about my stories.

00:29:14.000 I got to know him personally, and he was a friend.

00:29:20.000 With the permission of his family, one day, I am going to release all my emails with Rush.

00:29:27.000 And I think that would be a real special thing.

00:29:30.000 I'm going to make sure I'm going to get Catherine's approval on that.

00:29:34.000 But my emails with Rush, I think, are special.

00:29:38.000 He would email me back in the middle of the show, the doctor of democracy.

00:29:42.000 And he did it all with half of his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair.

00:29:53.000 If we could have one 100th of the impact of Rush, I will have lived a full life.

00:30:00.000 It's a small story here that I just think is delightful and delicious.

00:30:04.000 And this is a story that Rush would spend a whole hour on, this type of a story, right?

00:30:09.000 He loved kind of his eternal battle with the media.

00:30:12.000 So there is this fake kind of social media campaign saying that Turning Point USA is a white nationalist hate group, which of course is false.

00:30:21.000 We know it's false.

00:30:22.000 And so we got reached out to by this individual, Caleb McCullough, a nice enough guy from PolitiFact that was like, hey, I'm in charge of this story, and we have the meter, or is it true, or is it untrue or is it half true or is it false of whether or not Turning Point USA is a white nationalist hate group?

00:30:44.000 And great kind of compliment to our PR team and everyone behind that.

00:30:50.000 And we played ball and we sent them the information that, no, not only are we not a white nationalist hate group, we're the opposite of that.

00:30:56.000 We believe that stereotyping based on race is evil.

00:30:59.000 And we sent them all the evidence of all that.

00:31:01.000 And coming out today, PolitiFact, the claim that Turning Point USA is a white nationalist hate group is false.

00:31:09.000 If your time is short, quote, Turning Point USA, a conservative activist group operating largely in college and high school campuses, is setting up chapters in Iowa high schools, raising concern among parents who oppose the group's right-wing approach to policy and its criticism of progressive programs dealing with racial matters.

00:31:26.000 Some on Twitter have accused Turning Point USA of being a white nationalist hate group.

00:31:30.000 However, according to PolitiFact, and they're never wrong, but they're right on this one.

00:31:36.000 I'm being sarcastic.

00:31:37.000 Of course, scholars who study white nationalism and even the group's critics say calling Turning Point USA a white nationalist group goes too far.

00:31:46.000 And it's right.

00:31:47.000 It does go too far.

00:31:48.000 We are not a white nationalist group.

00:31:50.000 We don't believe in ethno-nationalism.

00:31:52.000 We believe in the promise of the Constitution.

00:31:55.000 We believe in the promise of Frederick Douglass.

00:31:57.000 We don't want to judge people based on the color of their skin. 0.81

00:31:59.000 We think it's disgusting and reprehensible.
