It's not just the TV air war, it's a different air war that is underway, and that's the one you should pay attention to: The air war we're engaged in on college campuses, and the impact it can have on the mid-term election, and how it can impact the 2020 election. That's why we're doing the most ambitious campus tour in my 12-year career, with over 22 stops and over 22,000+ visits all across the country.

00:01:12.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:40.000 We are entering into voting month, and we have the ground team at Turning Point Action that is making a huge difference.

00:01:46.000 The largest ground team ever assembled in the history of Republican politics.

00:01:50.000 It's never happened before.

00:01:51.000 To have hundreds and hundreds of full-time ballot chasers doing this work, registering voters, registering thousands and thousands of voters on the ground.

00:01:59.000 And the work speaks for itself.

00:02:01.000 But also, we're engaging in the air war.

00:02:05.000 Not the television air war.

00:02:07.000 That's kind of white noise.

00:02:08.000 It's important, but I think it's white noise.

00:02:11.000 Kamala did this and Trump did that, back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. 0.67

00:02:16.000 No, there's a different air war that is underway.

00:02:18.000 The air war on how your kids and grandkids are viewing the 2024 election via social media.

00:02:25.000 So I am now, in addition to everything else we're doing, three hours of radio a day, running Turning Point USA, having to raise money, having two kids under two, we are doing the most ambitious campus tour in my 12-year career.

00:02:38.000 Well over 22 campus stops and visits all across the country.

00:02:44.000 Now my goal is to educate, to inspire, to encourage the students that are on campus, to learn from them, and then also When appropriate, show the world some of these conversations that occur to see if they could be persuasive and make a difference for conservative causes, conservative ideas, and for Trump potentially winning in November.

00:03:04.000 So last week we kicked it off at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

00:03:08.000 Day before yesterday, I was at Colorado University Boulder.

00:03:10.000 At CU Boulder, we had thousands and thousands of kids show up.

00:03:13.000 Can we show some of this B-roll?

00:03:14.000 Yesterday, University of North Texas in Denton, thousands of kids show up.

00:03:18.000 We have some MAGA hats paid for by Turning Point PAC.

00:03:21.000 Look at that.

00:03:22.000 We cannot give the MAGA hats away quick enough on these college campuses.

00:03:26.000 The kids are clamoring for them.

00:03:27.000 They're fighting over each other for these MAGA hats.

00:03:31.000 Now, by no means am I saying we're going to win the youth vote.

00:03:33.000 By no means am I saying we're going to win these campuses, but we are going to lose by less.

00:03:38.000 We will lose by less at UW-Madison.

00:03:41.000 We will lose by less at ASU.

00:03:42.000 We will lose by less at University of Pittsburgh.

00:03:45.000 And losing by less is a way that you can then make the Democrat advantage a little bit shorter, a little bit less advantageous, and we can run up the score in other places.

00:03:57.000 So last week, I went to the campus of University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I take questions there.

00:04:02.000 I was on campus at UW-Madison for three and a half hours.

00:04:06.000 So when I'm not here hosting the radio program, everybody, when I'm here not having a conversation, a chat with you, I'm doing just equal important work.

00:04:14.000 But it's not just the thousands of kids that are impacted.

00:04:16.000 It's not just the new people that we're registering to vote.

00:04:19.000 For example, UW-Madison, we registered 150 new voters for Trump on campus right there.

00:04:24.000 150 new Trump voters on campus at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

00:04:28.000 Only Turning Point Action is doing that work.

00:04:29.000 But no, it is also the conversation.

00:04:34.000 And the dialogue that we have on campus that is seen by millions and millions and millions of people.

00:04:41.000 What we are doing on these campuses is ground war, voter registration, face-to-face contact, chapter development, getting kids fired up, getting them equipped to go advocate for President Trump, and then the air war.

00:04:57.000 This clip right here, I did not think was going to go viral.

00:05:01.000 Ryan, to his great credit, who's running TikTok and Daisy and Emma do a great job on Instagram.

00:05:06.000 They said, you know, let's put this up on TikTok.

00:05:08.000 Let's see what happens.

00:05:08.000 Let's see.

00:05:09.000 And I was like, I remember I texted Ryan.

00:05:11.000 I said, this doesn't seem like this is going to go viral.

00:05:13.000 He said, let's see.

00:05:14.000 This video has been seen 14.7 million times just on our TikTok page, primarily by Gen Z voters, primarily of people under the age of 30.

00:05:26.000 You cannot pay for this type of advertising of this organic grassroots content that is on fire right now.

00:05:34.000 Let's get Cut80 prepared.

00:05:36.000 This is a young man who's not a big fan of Donald Trump, but he's voting for Trump.

00:05:43.000 And he definitely struck a chord.

00:05:45.000 So we have this grassroots success on campus and then this air war virality to reach millions of younger voters just with a single video.

00:05:56.000 Play cut 80.

00:05:57.000 I will be voting for Trump.

00:05:58.000 Good!

00:05:59.000 And can I explain why?

00:06:00.000 So, under the Trump administration, my family, we've, long time, we've been renters.

00:06:00.000 Please!

00:06:06.000 So under the Trump administration, when the economy was good, my family, they'd been saving up for a house, they had a good savings, they were making well.

00:06:14.000 And over the last four years, their savings have been wiped out.

00:06:18.000 Inflation has killed them, they're back to renting, they don't know if they'll ever be able to retire.

00:06:23.000 So, even though, as a Christian, I might not agree with how Trump 14.7 million views.

00:06:28.000 And it's just an authentic testimony.

00:06:29.000 Look, I might not be a big fan of all this other stuff of Trump, but just on the economy, I'm voting for Trump.

00:06:37.000 Well said. Thank you so much. You want a hat? Tell your friends. Love it.

00:06:41.000 Look, I might not be a big fan of all this other stuff of Trump, but just on the economy, I'm

00:06:47.000 voting for Trump. And boy, did that hit a nerve and strike a chord. Seen by 14.7 million people.

00:06:58.000 To put that in perspective, that would be the equivalent, and most of that's Gen Z, of running multiple Sunday night football advertisements.

00:07:10.000 That would be valued at millions of dollars.

00:07:12.000 Viral stuff like this that concedes that Donald Trump is human, but also a great president shows and helps us win over marginal swing voters.

00:07:25.000 People who lean Trump, but need to justify it.

00:07:28.000 And by the way, welcome aboard.

00:07:30.000 What I am seeing on these campuses is very little Democrat enthusiasm.

00:07:38.000 There's a... For young women, there is some Kamala stuff, but there is not the fervor that you would think for Kamala Harris with younger voters.

00:07:48.000 Not at all.

00:07:50.000 This is my entrance at University of North Texas, which is one of the most liberal schools in the state of Texas.

00:07:55.000 Let's play Cut 135.

00:07:57.000 Wow, this is great. Thank you.

00:08:22.000 That's me entering the prove me wrong wall.

00:08:36.000 While it's rainy, by the way, while it's not exactly the best weather, And that was posted by other people.

00:08:44.000 I'm going to play more of this tape here and I'm seeing something on the ground and then we're going to segue into a press release that ties into this perfectly from Bernie Sanders political action committee.

00:08:55.000 The furthest left Gen Z PAC is sending out a warning memo that nobody has covered.

00:09:02.000 This is all in public eye.

00:09:04.000 Bernie Sanders PAC called our revolution after the debate was not celebrating.

00:09:10.000 No, no, no.

00:09:11.000 Bernie Sanders' political action committee, Our Revolution, sent out a fire alarm.

00:09:17.000 A red alert!

00:09:18.000 And I believe it, because I see it on these campuses.

00:09:21.000 Younger voters own nothing and they are not happy. 0.99

00:09:25.000 They are increasingly poor.

00:09:27.000 Kamala Harris is taking them for granted.

00:09:30.000 And I can tell you, we are doing the work every day to lose by less in places where conservatives and Republicans have never dared to go.

00:09:42.000 And we're playing to win.

00:09:43.000 To win the Electoral College in the states and the counties that matter.

00:09:47.000 By the way, I have another campus coming tomorrow.

00:09:49.000 And also, not just winning the ground war, but competing in the air war as well.

00:09:56.000 Are you worried about the future of the U.S.

00:09:58.000 economy?

00:10:58.000 The campus tours are continuing.

00:11:00.000 Tomorrow, by the way, we will be in Kansas.

00:11:02.000 Not a battleground state, but I'm joining Tucker Carlson in Wichita for his tour.

00:11:09.000 Very honored to be included in that with some big names.

00:11:12.000 And I said to the team, I said, look, if we're going to Kansas, let's add a campus.

00:11:15.000 So we are going to Kansas State University tomorrow.

00:11:17.000 Again, it's not exactly a battleground.

00:11:20.000 But hey, remember, air war, ground war.

00:11:21.000 Air war, ground war.

00:11:22.000 And we're going to invigorate the troops there.

00:11:24.000 And I'm told that Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas is a great spot.

00:11:28.000 So we'll be in Manhattan tomorrow.

00:11:29.000 Producer Andrew will be in the chair.

00:11:31.000 So just so you guys know, when I'm out of the chair, we're not taking days off.

00:11:34.000 We are fighting and moving the dial every single day.

00:11:36.000 I want to play another piece of tape here.

00:11:38.000 This was from University of Wisconsin-Madison.

00:11:40.000 A young man who is a white dude for Harris.

00:11:43.000 He's a big Kamala person.

00:11:46.000 And I asked him why.

00:11:47.000 Again, I'm not here to try to own people.

00:11:51.000 I want them to speak their mind, and I will disagree, and I usually try to meet them at the frequency of which they're at.

00:11:58.000 So on these campuses, if they come out guns a-blazing, you know, I try to respond fire with fire.

00:12:01.000 But if they're coming out with a good-spirited argument, I was curious, who's this guy supporting?

00:12:06.000 He's a Kamala Harris fan.

00:12:08.000 He's a Kamala Harris supporter.

00:12:10.000 And like all Kamala Harris fans that I encounter, I ask the very simple question, what has she done to earn your vote?

00:12:19.000 Why do you support her?

00:12:21.000 If she's gonna fix it, why hasn't she fixed it yet?

00:12:25.000 Let's play Cut134 of a very viral clip.

00:12:28.000 This thing is going very fast.

00:12:30.000 I think it has 7 or 8 million views right now.

00:12:32.000 And just understand, these are real conversations.

00:12:34.000 This is all part of a movement.

00:12:37.000 And also, credit to the crowd for being very respectful.

00:12:40.000 I'm voting for Kamala.

00:12:42.000 How did Kamala Harris do with running the border? 1.00

00:12:44.000 How many illegals have come in under her watch?

00:12:46.000 Why does she deserve to be a president when she can't even manage the border? 1.00

00:12:49.000 Kamala Harris has overseen the border.

00:12:51.000 She failed.

00:12:52.000 She oversaw the Russian-Ukrainian dispute once the Munich Security Conference and 100,000 Ukrainians died.

00:12:57.000 She was the deciding vote on the Inflation Explosion Act that makes everyone have to pay more in goods and services.

00:13:03.000 Her first day was three and a half years ago as VP.

00:13:06.000 What has she done that has given you confidence she'll do a good job as president? 0.61

00:13:11.000 I mean, she inherited a bad COVID economy and it's gotten better.

00:13:14.000 It has.

00:13:16.000 It's gotten better since COVID.

00:13:17.000 Yes, the economy is better since the end of COVID.

00:13:20.000 Prices are higher, people can't afford homes.

00:13:23.000 1.5 million people lost their jobs in the last year.

00:13:25.000 You ask anybody in the economy, 75% of Americans disapprove the economy right now.

00:13:29.000 It's just, it's remarkable to me that the lack of The case for Kamala.

00:13:36.000 Does it bother you?

00:13:38.000 We can talk in a second.

00:13:39.000 Does it bother you that she does not take questions from the press?

00:13:42.000 I've been here for three hours.

00:13:44.000 She will not take five minutes of questions.

00:13:46.000 Does that bother you?

00:13:47.000 You're a president, not a senator.

00:13:49.000 A president.

00:13:51.000 I haven't watched her on the press a lot, so... Because you wouldn't be able to watch her on the press because she doesn't talk to the press! 1.00

00:13:58.000 Just a short snippet of the type of dialogues that are happening there at UW-Madison.

00:14:02.000 And again, I hope that kid does his research and I hope that, like Joe Biden, he'll wear a MAGA hat.

00:14:07.000 But this is what we're doing on the campuses.

00:14:09.000 You gotta force them to think.

00:14:10.000 You see, it's not exactly an easy thing to go into enemy territory with no notes.

00:14:15.000 I don't have an earpiece, you know, talking to somebody.

00:14:18.000 I'm not getting, you know, people whispering in my ear.

00:14:21.000 For two to three hours, unedited, anybody can come up and they can bring their videos or their cameras and ask questions.

00:14:29.000 So tomorrow we're at Kansas State University.

00:14:31.000 Next week is all about Pennsylvania.

00:14:35.000 Next week is University of Pittsburgh and Penn State University.

00:14:40.000 And then we have a whole week dedicated to Nevada.

00:14:42.000 We have a whole week dedicated to Georgia.

00:14:44.000 A whole week dedicated to Arizona.

00:14:46.000 We are on the ground doing the work.

00:14:47.000 And I hope, I hope those of you in the audience that are saying, what can I do?

00:14:51.000 Go do something.

00:14:52.000 We are giving you the tools and the ability to do something.

00:14:56.000 How many voters are you registering?

00:14:57.000 We're registering a lot at Turning Point Action.

00:14:59.000 How many low-propensity voters are you chasing?

00:15:02.000 You can chase a lot, and that is at tpaction.com slash 100. tpaction.com slash 100.

00:15:08.000 And it's going to require this grassroots movement up against a machine, but I can tell you, being on campuses more than any other public commentator and any other activist and organizer, I can say that from authority, I've been on more campuses than all of them, especially the last week.

00:15:23.000 I mean, four campuses in a week is a lot.

00:15:25.000 There is serious issues in the base of the Democrat Party with younger voters.

00:15:30.000 We can lose by less in a historic way.

00:15:33.000 The public polling shows this, but I don't believe the public polling because younger voters are very, very hard to contact in traditional means on cell phones.

00:15:41.000 It's just hard.

00:15:43.000 But I can tell you by talking to them that traditional liberals are very curious about voting for Trump.

00:15:49.000 Elon Musk, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard.

00:15:53.000 It's not because they necessarily love everything about Trump, but they see huge problems With Team Blue, they see major, major fault lines with the party of war, the party of censorship, the party of open borders, the party of inflation, the party of permanent renting, the party of Russian serfdom, and the students that I'm talking to know they're the first generation in American history to have it worse than their parents, which is a breaking of the social contract that kept this country great.

00:16:28.000 If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:16:37.000 It's time to try Relief Factor.

00:16:39.000 And the good news is Relief Factor makes it quite easy.

00:16:42.000 Their 3-week quick start is just $19.95, less than a dollar a day.

00:16:47.000 Instead of masking pain, Relief Factor helps eliminate it.

00:16:51.000 How?

00:16:51.000 Well, its unique formula of natural ingredients helps support your body's response to inflammation.

00:16:57.000 Relief Factor was developed by doctors.

00:17:00.000 It's 100% drug-free.

00:17:02.000 And for so many people, the results are game-changing, even life-changing.

00:17:05.000 So give it a try.

00:17:06.000 Right now, their 3-week quick start is just $19.95.

00:17:11.000 Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:17:15.000 That is 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:17:20.000 So don't mask your pain.

00:17:21.000 Fight naturally with Relief Factor, relieffactor.com.

00:17:26.000 This is a huge news story, and I asked Andrew to tweet it out.

00:17:29.000 We had a lot of tweets last evening.

00:17:33.000 So there is a PAC that Bernie Sanders started after his 2016 presidential run and 2020 presidential run, of which he should have been the candidate in 2016, and probably 2020 if it wasn't for Biden.

00:17:45.000 And it's a super PAC called Our Revolution.

00:17:48.000 Now, to Bernie Sanders' credit, he raised this almost all through small-dollar donations.

00:17:52.000 Pretty impressive, to be honest with you.

00:17:54.000 Very hard to raise small-dollar donors.

00:17:56.000 He's done a good job of it.

00:17:57.000 So he is in touch with the base and the pulse of the progressive wing of the Democrat Party.

00:18:03.000 Better than almost anybody, any other candidate.

00:18:06.000 Bernie knows the grassroots.

00:18:07.000 He's born out of the grassroots.

00:18:09.000 He's a Marxist.

00:18:10.000 He's a communist.

00:18:11.000 He knows what they want and what they demand.

00:18:14.000 So the closest thing to our revolution would be kind of like Turning Point Action on the right.

00:18:19.000 We're in touch with the grassroots.

00:18:21.000 We know what you guys think.

00:18:22.000 We service the grassroots.

00:18:23.000 We work with the grassroots.

00:18:24.000 We're born at the grassroots.

00:18:26.000 And so imagine if Turning Point PAC or Turning Point Action released a press release saying that Donald Trump has a huge problem with his base.

00:18:37.000 Could you imagine the headlines?

00:18:39.000 That would be at the front page of the New York Times, wouldn't it?

00:18:41.000 If I, at Turning Point, sent out a press release saying Donald Trump has base leakage, it would be the number one political news story.

00:18:50.000 Well, no one seems to care that Bernie Sanders' PAC is doing just that.

00:18:54.000 Our revolution sends out a press release right after the debate.

00:18:59.000 Despite a strong consensus amongst progressives that Harris won the debate, there are stark warning signs for Harris that have emerged around specific policy positions, perceived authenticity, and overall electability.

00:19:17.000 Post-debate survey of 10,000 progressive voters, 10,000, This is a fire alarm, everybody, and no one is reporting it.

00:19:32.000 It's happening in broad daylight.

00:19:34.000 Bernie's PAC continues, our revolution, the nation's largest progressive political organizing

00:19:40.000 group, which is correct, is out today with findings from a sweeping post-debate survey

00:19:45.000 of 10,000 likely progressive voters. Quote, they sound an alarm on a significant enthusiasm deficit

00:19:54.000 among this key voting bloc, a group largely composed of Gen Z voters.

00:20:00.000 Oh, you mean the people that I'm visiting on campuses whose turnout in swing states is essential for a Democrat victory.

00:20:09.000 Among 10,000 post-debate survey respondents, 94% thought that Vice President Harris won the debate.

00:20:17.000 Okay.

00:20:17.000 However, they felt that Harris did not tackle the issues of foreign policy, immigration, affordable housing, and climate change sufficiently.

00:20:30.000 The executive director of Our Revolution, Joseph Ghevarjus, said, quote, the Harris campaign won't win by courting Never Trumpers at the expense of young progressives.

00:20:47.000 Millions of whom vote in swing states.

00:20:50.000 These voters don't care what Dick Cheney has to say.

00:20:55.000 They are ready, however, to hear the Vice President's plan to reign in corporate power.

00:21:01.000 She won't.

00:21:01.000 Address climate change?

00:21:02.000 Not happening.

00:21:03.000 And make housing and healthcare more affordable in this country?

00:21:05.000 Won't happen.

00:21:07.000 With just 55 days remaining until the election, the central challenge for Harris' campaign remains translating newfound enthusiasm into actual votes.

00:21:20.000 This is her base writing this, guys.

00:21:22.000 These are her most committed supporters.

00:21:24.000 This is the base of the base of the Democrat Party.

00:21:27.000 This is the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat Party doing a public press release saying, you don't have us.

00:21:34.000 You can go try to win over the Liz Cheney and the Dick Cheney's all you want. 1.00

00:21:37.000 We're not with you.

00:21:39.000 Quote, Overall data collected in our post debate survey makes

00:21:44.000 clear that despite the online fanfare on platforms like Tik Tok,

00:21:52.000 the vice president has a lot of work to do to win over skeptical progressives and young voters

00:21:59.000 and convince them that she is aligned with their policy values on issues

00:22:04.000 like reigning in corporate power and addressing climate change.

00:22:07.000 I could tell you right now This press release is 100% legit because I see it on campuses.

00:22:13.000 We have liberal after liberal after liberal and I say to all of them, welcome aboard to our movement.

00:22:18.000 You can join us like RFK.

00:22:20.000 You can join us like Tulsi Gabbard.

00:22:21.000 We have liberal after liberal after liberal that say, I do not feel as if I am listened to or there's a place for me in the Democrat Party.

00:22:28.000 And what is Kamala Harris's approach?

00:22:30.000 She's going to have Leon Panetta introduce her at the DNC and Dick Cheney endorse her.

00:22:36.000 Kamala Harris is George W. Bush in a pantsuit.

00:22:41.000 She's going around doing the bidding of the Central Intelligence Agency, of the warmongers. 0.98

00:22:48.000 And boy, there is no easier silencing statement that I have.

00:22:52.000 When I go to campus, and yesterday there was a liberal, and not a leftist, he's a liberal, he's a good man, young man.

00:22:58.000 We'll get the quote.

00:22:59.000 He says, I hate Trump, all this.

00:23:00.000 I said, but I don't know if I can vote for Kamala.

00:23:03.000 And I said, why?

00:23:04.000 He said, man, The way that she received the Dick Cheney endorsement and said it was a great honor, he said, was one of the greatest turn-offs.

00:23:12.000 I said it should be a turn-off.

00:23:13.000 Kamala Harris is using younger voters, she's using the Democrat base to get and achieve the aims and the objectives of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and the worst warmongers in Washington, D.C. 1.00

00:23:26.000 Donald Trump is an affront to that warmongering industry.

00:23:29.000 He's an affront to the endless war industry.

00:23:31.000 He wants to stop the war in Ukraine.

00:23:32.000 He wants to stop the suffering.

00:23:34.000 And younger voters on the margins are starting to leak and break away from Kamala saying, she's not for me.

00:23:41.000 And now the Republican Party is the party of peace and the party that younger voters are increasingly feeling more comfortable with.

00:23:50.000 As students begin heading back to school, I want to tell you about a great learning opportunity.

00:24:39.000 That is charlieforhillsdale.com, charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:24:45.000 One of the ways that you guys can help in this election, it's Richard who emailed me, Richard from Nevada, really great patriot, is by writing postcards to your neighbors.

00:24:56.000 If you are not physically fit enough, totally get it, or you're of an age where it's just tough to get around, or you're busy, or you don't have the gifting to go knock on doors, I totally get it.

00:25:07.000 But that's not an excuse to sit idly by.

00:25:09.000 So one of the ways that we are deploying volunteers here in Arizona is we are having volunteers come in that live locally and they write postcards to their neighbors.

00:25:20.000 Handwritten.

00:25:22.000 Dear Sally Sue Marie, I live a couple doors down from you.

00:25:26.000 We've said hi a couple times when I'm, you know, walking my dog.

00:25:29.000 I want to let you know my heart for this election.

00:25:31.000 We can't keep on affording high prices, open border.

00:25:35.000 I would love to have you vote for Donald Trump.

00:25:37.000 If you have any questions, knock on my door.

00:25:39.000 Would love to have you over for dinner.

00:25:41.000 God bless.

00:25:42.000 Merry.

00:25:43.000 You do that to 100 people.

00:25:45.000 And every one of you can do that.

00:25:48.000 You can do that.

00:25:50.000 That is a personal, neighborly touch.

00:25:53.000 There is no excuse.

00:25:55.000 To sit on the sidelines here.

00:25:57.000 Now, the ideal is for you to go to Chase Ballots and download the Turning Point Action app, which all of you should do.

00:26:01.000 Take out your phone and download the Turning Point Action app.

00:26:03.000 But at the very least, you could write postcards.

00:26:06.000 You could also make phone calls, but phone calls are not nearly as effective as they were about a decade ago.

00:26:10.000 People don't like answering a stranger phone calls.

00:26:13.000 They're difficult to kind of get people signed up in that way.

00:26:17.000 You can also join commit 100, as I mentioned, but don't forget the postcard army.

00:26:21.000 So Richard here from Nevada, I don't want to say his last name.

00:26:25.000 It looks like a total Patriot.

00:26:26.000 He says, Charlie, here is my mailer to my neighbors for low propensity voters in Nevada.

00:26:32.000 So he goes to FedEx and he prints out this neighborly letter as to why he's voting for Donald Trump.

00:26:38.000 And it's written just as a citizen.

00:26:40.000 He says here, as a veteran, I'm supporting these people.

00:26:44.000 Here's the reasons why.

00:26:45.000 It's very well put together.

00:26:46.000 It's just made by a citizen.

00:26:48.000 And he just sends it out to his 200 neighbors or to his 50 neighbors.

00:26:54.000 No one asked Richard to do this, but if every one of you guys do that, It could make a massive difference.

00:27:00.000 So I'm just inspired by Richard's email here in Nevada, mailing it out to a couple of neighbors saying, Hey, here's why I think you should vote for Trump.

00:27:08.000 Here's why I think you should vote for Sam Brown.

00:27:10.000 Here's why I think you guys should vote for the local Republican.

00:27:12.000 You guys can also attach the 20 bullet points of the RNC platform, which are exceptional.

00:27:18.000 No men and women's sports, drill baby drill, secure the border. 1.00

00:27:21.000 Beautiful platform.

00:27:23.000 All 20 points.

00:27:23.000 Okay, I just want to make sure I mention that because people say, how do I get involved?

00:27:27.000 I can't go to campuses.

00:27:28.000 Totally get it.

00:27:29.000 I understand.

00:27:30.000 But you all have a role to play and your role is more than watching the Charlie Kirk Show on Real America's Voice.

00:27:36.000 I'm glad you guys watch the Charlie Kirk Show on Real America's Voice.

00:27:38.000 I'm thankful for it.

00:27:39.000 I'm thankful that you guys become members.

00:27:41.000 I'm thankful you guys support our sponsors and our partners.

00:27:44.000 You got to do more than that.

00:27:46.000 And it doesn't matter if you're listening right now in AM 560 in Chicago or KRLA in LA.

00:27:51.000 I don't care where you are.

00:27:53.000 Do something for this election.

00:27:54.000 So if you live in LA, come to Arizona for five days and come chase ballots.

00:27:58.000 If you live in Chicago, go to Wisconsin for five days and chase ballots.

00:28:02.000 We are using out of state volunteers as deployments.

00:28:07.000 Think of it as a patriotic deployment.

00:28:10.000 You live in New Mexico.

00:28:11.000 Oh, Charlie, New Mexico is blue.

00:28:12.000 Ah, stop it.

00:28:14.000 Get your family in the car and come to Phoenix instead of Disney World.

00:28:18.000 Phoenix is great.

00:28:20.000 We got a lot for the kids to do.

00:28:22.000 And you tell the family, instead of doing the family vacation at Disney World or Hawaii, our vacation this year is going to be going to Arizona to go save the country.

00:28:33.000 What a great lesson to teach your kid, by the way.

00:28:36.000 If you live in Northern Illinois, instead of saying, you know, we're going to go on some vacation or we're going to go take time off to, you know, go to an amusement park, say, we're going to go take time off as a family and we're going to go chase a hundred ballots right now in Kenosha County.

00:28:48.000 I will put you to work.

00:28:50.000 You live in Iowa, come to Wisconsin, go chase ballots.

00:28:53.000 This is a major opportunity for the Patriot of this country to step up.

00:28:58.000 Lori says, Charlie, I found my niche.

00:29:01.000 I'm planning to confirm as many votes as possible.

00:29:02.000 I have a big Italian family.

00:29:05.000 When we have family conference calls, emails, and chats, I ask every person to confirm that they're registered to vote, where they live, since a lot of young couples move often.

00:29:12.000 I have one sibling that isn't registered.

00:29:14.000 I remind her each time I talk to her.

00:29:15.000 I make sure all of them are voting for Trump.

00:29:17.000 And if and when they are in battleground states, we get confirmation of what they are doing.

00:29:21.000 We even have one family in Maricopa County.

00:29:23.000 Also, every repairman, yard guy, roofer crew, anyone else that does work at my house, I always make sure they're voting for Trump.

00:29:29.000 Lots of veterans in the mix.

00:29:30.000 I follow up by text messages once early voting starts.

00:29:33.000 I'm on a roll.

00:29:34.000 Fight, fight, fight.

00:29:35.000 I said I'm going to send her a hat.

00:29:37.000 That's all it takes, everybody.

00:29:38.000 Relentless advocacy.

00:29:41.000 Over 1.5 million people watch the show every single day.

00:29:44.000 If every one of you were like Lori, we'd win the election.

00:29:46.000 Done.

00:29:47.000 Game over.

00:29:47.000 Final.

00:29:48.000 Done.

00:29:49.000 But, you know, people are shy, or I don't know how badly we want it at times.

00:29:53.000 It's a little sheepish.

00:29:55.000 Maybe I'm not going to wear the MAGA hat.

00:29:57.000 Be like Laurie.

00:29:58.000 Neutral gear is not an option.

00:29:59.000 If we want to remain free citizens, doing nothing is a ticket to tyranny.

00:30:04.000 Email us as always freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:30:06.000 Okay, these campus tours are just going incredible.

00:30:10.000 And the movement that we see at Turning Point is really something to see and witness.

00:30:18.000 I want to play this piece of tape here.

00:30:20.000 Let's go cut 63.

00:30:21.000 This is CNN saying, Harris' vanishing lead in the very pivotal state of Pennsylvania.

00:30:27.000 Play cut 63.

00:30:29.000 So I just want to take a look at Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, and what we see is a tightening race in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, alright?

00:30:36.000 This is Harris vs. Trump margin in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

00:30:40.000 A month ago when you looked at the polls, New York Times, plus 4 Harris, plus 3 Quinnipiac for Harris.

00:30:45.000 Franklin and Marshall, plus 3 for Harris.

00:30:47.000 But look at polls that have come out over the last week or so, and what do we see?

00:30:51.000 We see a much tighter race.

00:30:53.000 We see a tie in the CBS News YouGov poll.

00:30:55.000 We see a tie in the CNN SSRS poll.

00:30:58.000 And this, to me, is part of an emerging pattern, which is in a very pivotal state.

00:31:03.000 What we saw was a small Harris lead, but within the margin of error, becoming a race that is way, way, way too close to call at this particular point, one that is even.

00:31:15.000 And boy, that movement is happening in real time.

00:31:19.000 Boy, everything's coming down to Pennsylvania, which is exactly why we are there next week.

00:31:23.000 You guys can email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:31:26.000 We just got another couple emails here, people that are signing up at tpaction.com that want to stay engaged, want to stay involved.

00:31:31.000 That's what it's going to come down to.

00:31:33.000 It's going to come down to who can chase the most amount of ballots and who can drive turnout.

00:31:37.000 So we need to become the greatest, most sophisticated turnout operation in the history of the movement.

00:31:44.000 And we can all do that together.

00:31:45.000 The Democrats are showing us, and they're telling us, that there is significant base leaking problems.

00:31:51.000 Who wants it more? 0.90

00:31:53.000 It's what it's going to come down to.

00:31:54.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:31:55.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:31:58.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
