00:00:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:28.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory, and that's when we decided to give up.
00:01:35.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited.
00:01:43.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:01:46.000The biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:01:52.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:01:54.000Charlie Kirk, Deveit Ramaswamy, Governor Christy Noah, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, and more.
00:02:16.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:21.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:02.000Yeah, as you said, Charlie, not surprising, but it's just a tragic day in the history of the American Republic.
00:03:08.000I mean, we've seen just the total weaponization of law enforcement, of prosecution, and of the courts by Joe Biden and his political allies to oppress his principal political opponent, President Trump.
00:03:21.000We're obviously going to be appealing this verdict.
00:03:23.000We're going to be appealing it vigorously and quickly.
00:03:26.000And in the meantime, Americans are being treated to this sad spectacle of President Trump being indicted and now convicted for total non-crimes, made-up crimes by a crooked Democrat district attorney here in New York.
00:04:38.000And I think that'll give the Democrats pause, that this crazy campaign of weaponization, this campaign of lawfare that we've been facing, if we beat it, if it fails, hopefully we won't have to see the likes of it again in American history the same way we've never seen it before.
00:04:54.000Will, I want you to comment on something here.
00:04:56.000And I think you are uniquely positioned to riff on this.
00:05:01.000There's a group of people that are temperamentally conservative.
00:05:05.000They've been, they're center right, but they don't like Trump.
00:05:08.000And they have a lot of trust in the legal system.
00:05:12.000Just as a vibe check yesterday, you know who I'm talking about, right?
00:05:19.000I think their politics are a little screwy at times, but they're not liberals.
00:05:22.000They are not leftists, but they're institutionalists.
00:05:25.000They trust the institutions that were handed down by prior generations to be a check and balance on radicalism and bad ideas, that the institutions will save us.
00:05:37.000From a vibe check yesterday, Will, I saw a complete sea change.
00:05:40.000I saw people that were once very defensive of institutions all of a sudden say, oh my goodness, this is worse than I realize.
00:05:56.000I think the American people see what's going on here and understand what's going on here.
00:06:00.000This was not a normal criminal prosecution.
00:06:03.000This was a ginned-up charge, a totally unique charge in the history of the New York courts that was rammed through a couple months after President Trump announced his campaign for presidency.
00:06:15.000If President Trump weren't running, he never would have been prosecuted and he obviously wouldn't have been convicted.
00:06:20.000So when we talk about the politicization of the courts, when we talk about political prosecutions, when we talk about this being banana republic stuff, that's what we're talking about.
00:06:30.000And I think Americans are waking up to it.
00:06:31.000I think exactly the sorts of folks that you're talking about, some of them, unfortunately, are going to continue sort of mouthing platitudes about the importance of the system and institutions and whatever else.
00:06:43.000But I think for most people, for all the normies out there, I hope that they finally understand that if you cross this new modern left, a totally deranged, unhinged left, they will literally try to throw you in prison.
00:07:30.000As soon as we have his sentence, we will immediately appeal to the New York Appellate Division.
00:07:35.000If, God forbid, there were to be a prison sentence, we would have powerful ways of challenging that as well.
00:07:40.000We are going to take this thing as high and as far as we can as quickly as possible, including, as I've said previously, to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.
00:07:49.000The chances of a prison sentence here are slim.
00:07:52.000We've said from the start that the only realistic outcome here is a talking point for the Biden campaign, which is obviously what they wanted.
00:08:00.000They want to be able to call President Trump a convicted felon.
00:08:03.000But I think ultimately our justice system will get it right.
00:08:06.000I think ultimately President Trump will be exonerated.
00:08:09.000And ultimately, this unjust verdict will be thrown out because it is just that.
00:08:13.000It is an unjust, totally unfair verdict from a crooked court.
00:08:18.000We had a wildly biased judge who should have never been on this case.
00:08:22.000And fortunately, we have powerful mechanisms available to us in the legal system to challenge each and every aspect of this prosecution in this trial, and we will.
00:09:15.000He will get bail, it's true, but he's in a whole different status in society in the legal system, in the rule of law.
00:09:24.000That's not only fitting, but a kind of miracle is too strong a word, but a really day for celebration just because of the work like clockwork of the system, powered by not the personalities, but the law.
00:09:42.000If any of these leftists can, in under a paragraph, accurately explain what President Trump was charged with and what he's been convicted of now, I would be absolutely stunned.
00:09:55.000This is a made-up, invented crime that has never been prosecuted before in the history of the state of New York.
00:10:20.000And don't let any of the left celebration and their pronouncements about the rule of law fool you.
00:10:25.000This was a rigged trial from the start, intended to interfere in the 2024 election.
00:10:31.000In the Federalist Papers, James Madison writes about the use by political faction of newfangled and artificial treasons to oppress their political opponents, essentially the weaponization of the courts and of prosecution by political faction to oppress their opponents.
00:10:49.000And Madison writes eloquently about the great risk that that poses to any republic if we are to have a republic governed by the rule of law.
00:10:57.000That is what we are seeing here play out in this New York court.
00:11:01.000A newfangled and artificial treason, a totally made-up crime being used to oppress the principal political opponent of the regime in power.
00:11:34.000It is the question of whether or not we have a border, whether or not we are going to have peace in the Middle East, whether or not we're going to have a stable currency, whether or not your kids are going to live in a free society, whether or not we have a legal system.
00:11:43.000And it comes down to the elemental, the foundational aspects of a society.
00:11:50.000If you can throw people you don't like in jail on made-up stuff, you don't have a country.
00:11:55.000You are living an outright totalitarianism, period.
00:11:58.000Okay, Will, I know you have about two and a half minutes here.
00:12:27.000Anyone who dares speak out against leftist tyranny will be imprisoned.
00:12:32.000I think we are literally looking at the end of our republic.
00:12:35.000And the only answer we have, the only answer we can have to that is getting out and voting next November, is making sure that this campaign of theirs ultimately fails.
00:12:46.000And hope to God that they learn their lesson from that failure, because otherwise we are literally living in the end of the republic, that our republic will not last.
00:13:23.000That's the way it should be, Will, but I just, we got, we have to stay there because we have to stay paranoid because only the paranoid survive.
00:15:51.000Whenever there was something of consequence, Kabana hearing Donald Trump's victory, Donald Trump's impeachment, Russia Gate, Mueller, back when Obama v. Romney, I could tell you what I did in high school.
00:16:03.000I would pull over my car, I'd turn on the local radio station at, that would be 11 a.m. Chicago time, turn on the volume almost all the way up, recline my chair, close my eyes, and I would listen to the greatest voice that God lent us, because it was just on loan from God, to guide us.
00:16:26.000Whenever there was confusion, whenever there was calamity, whenever there was a time where we needed guidance, we let El Rushbo show us the way.
00:16:40.000This is one of the last episodes of the Rush Lumbaugh program.
00:17:26.000And more importantly, they can't separate you from the ideas.
00:17:33.000They believe that they can destroy this bond that exists between you and Trump if they somehow make Trump look bad, make Trump look like a reprobate, embarrass you about Trump.
00:17:47.000They can't do it because you came before Trump.
00:18:18.000He had such faith in the American people.
00:18:21.000He had such belief in the grassroots, in the commoner, in the muscular class, in the police officer, the firefighter, the parent, the teacher, the welder, the veteran.
00:18:35.000It is now the will of the people versus the tyranny of the elites.
00:18:40.000It is a ruling class that is high on their own supply on a top-down revolution that has made you poor, you can't afford groceries, that has opened up your border and allowed these foreigners to flood our country.
00:18:51.000This top-down revolution of a bitter, resentful ruling class that wants nothing to do with your American way of life.
00:19:03.000And that is what is really at stake right now.
00:20:27.000I know that there's a percentage and a lot of us in this audience, you in this audience, a lot of us, where you've been waiting for this fight for some time.
00:20:34.000And that's the way we must look at this as an opportunity, as we are now given the ability to rescue this great country.
00:21:09.000We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:21:13.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:21:15.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:21:20.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:21:26.000Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:23:03.000And I'm telling you that now your forefathers, from Washington to Hamilton, to Madison to Jay, to Lincoln, to Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, to Eisenhower, to Reagan, to the greatest generation that stormed Normandy Beach.
00:23:18.000We're just asking you now to win an election.
00:23:21.000We have with us right now David Sachs.
00:23:22.000David, thank you for taking time to join the program.
00:23:25.000You had one of the tweets heard around the world.
00:23:27.000First, David Sachs is hosting a fundraiser coming up with Donald Trump in Silicon Valley.
00:23:33.000David has not always been a major Trump supporter, but to his unbelievable and great credit, he is now leading the charge to raise capital for Donald Trump.
00:25:31.000And I mean, I think the thing that people have to realize is that if this is allowed to work, meaning that the prosecution of Trump and impending punishment, whatever that is, we don't know what's going to be yet, if it's allowed to, if it works in the sense that it helps the Democrats win the election, then it won't stop with Trump.
00:25:54.000I mean, this tactic will become normalized.
00:25:56.000The dam has been broken and more prosecutors will use it and they will go after a, you know, they'll sort of go down the hit list and they will start targeting lesser figures as well.
00:26:10.000And our justice system will become increasingly politicized.
00:26:15.000I mean, we've already seen this with Elon Musk, right?
00:26:18.000His companies have been under virtual assault by the government on charges that seem ridiculous.
00:26:25.000Tesla being investigated for supposedly building a glass house, whatever that means.
00:26:31.000SpaceX being investigated for not hiring enough asylum seekers, basically illegal immigrants.
00:26:38.000We're already seeing the political charges, political investigations, politically motivated, I should say, against not just Trump, but against Elon Musk and his companies as well.
00:26:47.000And I think that if Biden wins the election, I think we can expect this to intensify.
00:26:54.000On the other hand, if Biden loses the election, then the message from that might be that he went too far and we start to bring things back into the balance that we had status quo ante.
00:27:05.000So I think it's a very important election to send the message that political prosecutions are not okay in America.
00:27:11.000And then that's a message that should appeal to a lot of people in the middle or the center.
00:27:19.000So, Rich, let me sorry, I was reading something rich here.
00:27:21.000So, David, let's talk about your upcoming event that you're hosting with Donald Trump in Silicon Valley.
00:27:27.000You tweeted out there are a lot more people that support conservative ideas than they'd ever lead you to believe because we look at Silicon Valley as a monolith, as a left-wing piggy bank, as one of the wealthiest places on the planet.
00:28:19.000So that was part of it: we've been doing a number of these events.
00:28:23.000And these events are a good way to interact with people in the political process.
00:28:29.000So, you know, this is something that I've done now a number of times.
00:28:34.000I did one for DeSantis during the primary.
00:28:37.000And so it's not exclusively about Trump, but I was interested in doing this as well.
00:28:45.000And I think that now we're in the reason why I think there's a lot more Trump supporters in Silicon Valley than maybe they let on is just because we're now down to the choice between Trump and Biden.
00:28:59.000And these choices have been A-B tested, right?
00:29:03.000Meaning we had four years of Biden, we have four years of Trump.
00:29:05.000People can look back and just ask the question: was I better off under Trump?
00:29:11.000Was it calmer or more peaceful under Trump?
00:29:15.000I mean, if you actually just do the comparison, I think there's a lot of people who can see pretty easily that things were better under Trump.
00:29:22.000And so the A-B test, so to speak, indicates Trump.
00:29:27.000And so I think there's a lot of people who are closet supporters of Trump for that reason.
00:29:31.000The other thing is that Biden has really doubled down on a set of policies that are not favorable and in fact are outright hostile to Silicon Valley.
00:29:39.000So you take the 25% unrealized gains tax.
00:29:42.000I mean, this is just an all-out assault on the basis upon which Silicon Valley works, which is broad-based stock ownership, right?
00:29:55.000They own those companies through shares of stock that initially are worthless, but eventually, you know, in the one out of a thousand case, might be worth something.
00:30:04.000And those shares are distributed very broadly to employees throughout the company.
00:30:10.000And then they're also used to incentivize venture capitalists to take bets again on these companies that, you know, nine times out of 10 or more just won't be worth anything.
00:30:20.000But in that rare instance, we'll create a great company.
00:30:23.000Well, you know, the unrealized gains tax would force a lot of these people to have to pay taxes every year on gains that are illusory, that are just paper.
00:30:34.000And where you get this money from is really not clear.
00:30:36.000I think it would really, again, undermine and destroy the entire nature of Silicon Valley.
00:30:41.000So I think if people are paying attention, they can just see that Biden's policies would not be good for Silicon Valley.
00:30:48.000And so I think that Trump has a wellspring of support here.
00:30:52.000And it's just people are afraid to acknowledge that.
00:30:55.000Well, and I want to talk, so the oligarchy of Silicon Valley might benefit from that.
00:31:00.000But there is, and this is important, it's not just Facebook, Google, Apple.
00:31:06.000There are thousands of startup companies that are trying to do exciting things and try to have innovations.
00:31:13.000It seems as if that Biden is fine giving a handout to the big ones, the multi-trillion dollar companies.
00:31:19.000If you take Facebook, Google, Apple, I think it's like $4 or $5 trillion market cap combined, just of those three companies.
00:31:25.000But it is the smaller, more entrepreneurial, disruptive companies that seem to be the target of the Biden tax policy and his agenda.
00:31:35.000Well, look, I mean, every startup that gets to what we call like Series C, so basically by your third funding round, there's a very high chance that on paper, there would be the founders would have enough to trigger this unrealized gains tax.
00:31:52.000And by the way, they call it a billionaire's tax, but it's not.
00:31:55.000I think that it's triggered, I think, at $100 million and Elizabeth Warren wants to make that 50 million.
00:32:03.000And the way these things go is that number will just keep coming down over time once they pass it.
00:32:08.000Now, I know that sounds like a lot of money to most people, but I think it's important to understand that that money may not be real, that the shares of these companies can be worth a lot on paper, but a lot of times they don't materialize.
00:32:22.000And it's unclear where people would get the money from to pay this tax bill.
00:32:29.000And so just the risk of that happening would have to be thought through even at the creation of these companies.
00:32:36.000So no one's going to wait for the Series C to figure this out.
00:32:38.000And I think it's going to lead to a restructuring of the way that Silicon Valley does business.
00:32:44.000So, you know, again, it's not, it'd be wrong just to see it as like some sort of rich person's tax.
00:32:54.000And that can really change the way that Silicon Valley works.
00:32:57.000And again, what's kind of magical about Silicon Valley is that it's not an oligarchy, you know, in terms of the two founders in their garage with a great idea.
00:33:10.000You know, maybe by the end of it, you have a handful of winners who are kind of oligarchical, but the way you disrupt that oligarchy is by always allowing the two guys in the garage to create that new company to disrupt that old monopoly.
00:33:27.000And so you really don't want to tamper, I think, with the kind of magical formula of that startup engine in Silicon Valley.
00:33:35.000So, but look, this is just, Charlie, this is just one policy where I think Biden has been very bad.
00:33:56.000Well, so basically for the last three years, Elizabeth Warren and Gensler, the head of the SEC, have been driving the train on crypto policy.
00:34:05.000And they are basically hostile to crypto.
00:34:08.000And they either want to shut it down or drive it offshore.
00:34:11.000And so there's a lot of startups and a lot of founders.
00:34:15.000There's a lot of innovation happening on the blockchain.
00:34:19.000And I think that a lot of the innovation has been moving to other countries because people, because founders don't have what they've been asking for, which is a legal regime that's clear that they can follow.
00:34:33.000They just want a predictable set of rules that they can follow.
00:34:36.000And they're happy to follow the rules if you'll just be clear about getting them.
00:34:40.000And, you know, Gensler and Warren have played a lot of games with saying, well, companies can just go to the SEC and we'll work it out with them.
00:35:00.000So in any event, the last three years have been very hostile to the crypto community, and they have increasingly become politically organized and formed effectively a lobby, an informal lobby.
00:35:15.000And they are willing now to donate to candidates who support them.
00:35:18.000And they can clearly see that Trump is, I'd say, pro-crypto.
00:35:49.000Have you received more backlash for this announcement than other fundraisers in the past?
00:35:53.000You know, I haven't really gotten much backlash, but some of my friends have.
00:36:00.000So the people who get upset about this are too cowardly to confront me directly about it.
00:36:06.000They kind of go behind my back and try to put pressure on my friends to maybe get me to change my behavior or something like that.
00:36:13.000That's kind of the way these people operate.
00:36:16.000But to my face, no, there was a reporter from a local newspaper who was walking down the block ringing doorbells and buzzing gates asking if we were aware that one of our neighbors was throwing a fundraiser for Trump and how did we feel about that?
00:36:34.000And the reporter didn't realize that the gate he was buzzing was the host of the event.
00:36:39.000So there's that kind of stuff going on.
00:36:41.000But people have, I mean, to be perfectly honest about it so far, I have not gotten a ton of blowback about it.
00:36:48.000But again, I think it's just because people, the people, the people who would ordinarily do that, I think are too cowardly to do it directly.
00:36:57.000And, you know, I'll tell you, from Elon to yourself to Chamath to many people that are starting to come in this direction, this is so important, David.
00:37:06.000We don't need every single, and I hate to call you an elite, but being at the topper end of the income ladder, you know, just to take the label in good step.
00:37:15.000Just the last thing that I want to kind of talk about is important.
00:37:31.000I mean, you know, it's, it's, I think Silicon Valley may be waking up to some degree to the fact they're supporting a candidate who is hostile to startup innovation, you know, whether it's crypto or just innovation across the board.
00:37:47.000You know, it's not, it's not in your interest.
00:37:50.000It's not aligned with your values, but it's just very hard to shake people out of this political tribalism that they're caught up in.
00:37:58.000But again, I do think that there is more latent support for Trump than people are willing to express.
00:38:03.000In other words, there's a lot of preference falsification going on.
00:38:08.000And I think the reason why they get upset about events like this is because it could start a preference cascade, right?
00:38:17.000If each person feels incrementally safer sticking their neck out and saying they support Trump, then it just gets easier for the next person to do it.
00:38:26.000I mean, a lot of people have told me that they applaud what I'm doing in terms of holding this event because it makes it easier for the next person to say that they're supporting Trump.
00:38:37.000And so I think this is their great fear is that, again, it starts a cascade where people feel more comfortable admitting that they secretly support Trump.
00:40:22.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory?
00:40:25.000And that's when we decided to give up.
00:40:28.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited.
00:40:36.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.

00:41:09.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:41:15.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:41:44.000This is very similar to Bronx Energy here.
00:41:46.000President Donald Trump, Vake Ramaswamy, Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, Benny Johnson, Tulsi Gabbard, Byron Donalds, Chris Dino, Lara Trump, Nigel Farage, Rick Scott, Jack Pesobic, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eli Crane, Bishop Aubrey Shines, and more.

00:42:06.000We're going to be having breakout sessions.
00:42:18.000You are going to be blown away at how sophisticated what we're doing at Turning Point Action is, what we are doing, how we are doing it, how we are putting together our forces.
00:42:48.000I was there when they did something that has never happened before in American history, ever in the history of the country, and we didn't take it.
00:45:05.000Again, I don't know what vehicles these guys are giving money to.
00:45:08.000So I want to make sure that they're aware of turning point action because you can only give $2,800 to Trump, and then you can give up to $800,000 to the RC Joint Victory Committee.
00:45:15.000However, that's not a problem that most people have to worry about.
00:46:13.000So that is Mr. Fire Alarm Puller, who is never held criminally accountable for that, who did something worse, by the way, than what most people on January 6th did, dancing to the conviction of Donald Trump.
00:46:26.000These are bloodthirsty savages that want to see their political opponents put in prison.
00:46:32.000However, the Democrats who know, it seems as if they're a little bit concerned that this is not hitting.
00:47:52.000But you have just awoken a sleeping giant and a motivated force.
00:47:57.000So let's summarize this whole thing together here.
00:48:01.000CNN senior legal analyst describes how the Trump conviction was a political hitchhiker.
00:48:04.000Quote, the judge donated money in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations to a pro-Biden anti-Trump operation.
00:48:11.000Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, it is a fact that I've sued Donald Trump over 100 times.
00:48:18.000Most importantly, the DA charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law in due process.
00:48:23.000The charges against Trump are obscure and nearly entirely unprecedented.
00:48:26.000In no state, no prosecutor ever in New York or Wyoming or anywhere has ever charged a federal election law as a direct predicate of state crime against anyone for anything ever.
00:48:35.000The DA inflated misdemeanors and the passed statute of limitations and electroshocked them back to life by alleging that falsification of business records was committed with the intent to commit another crime.
00:48:48.000Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were.
00:48:53.000And the judge declined to put them, to force them to pony up until right before closing arguments, so much for the constitutional obligation to provide.
00:49:00.000Notice that the defendant accusations against him and evidence advance a trial.
00:49:05.000In these key aspects, the charges against Trump are not just unusual.
00:49:08.000They're bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president, nobody else.
00:49:12.000The Manhattan DA's employees reportedly have called this the zombie case because of its various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism, but it's better characterized as the Frankenstein case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts with an ugly, awkward, but more or less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator.
00:49:32.000This is a CNN legal analyst, CNN legal analyst.
00:49:37.000They think that they can take out our movement with a documents case or a paperwork thing in New York.
00:49:44.000Our movement is much stronger than that, and it is ascendant.
00:49:46.000In fact, I think that if we do the work, we're about to hit a critical mass, that the MAGA hat is going to become the most popular thing in the country.
00:49:59.000It went from something that people were afraid to wear that they're proud to wear.
00:50:02.000I think it's going to happen very quickly.
00:50:04.000In fact, I think it's going to become unfashionable to say negative things against Trump because Trump is a political prisoner martyr and may have created a monster.
