00:02:33.000 Register now at tpaction.com/slash peoples.

00:02:44.000 We have the great Will Sharf with us right now.

00:02:49.000 Will, thank you for making time for us here.

00:02:51.000 Will is one of President Donald Trump's attorneys, hopefully the next Attorney General of Missouri.

00:02:56.000 Will, your reaction to this somber day, the verdict in New York.

00:03:00.000 Not surprising, but very tragic.

00:03:02.000 Yeah, as you said, Charlie, not surprising, but it's just a tragic day in the history of the American Republic.

00:03:08.000 I 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.

00:03:19.000 It's absolutely outrageous.

00:03:21.000 We're obviously going to be appealing this verdict.

00:03:23.000 We're going to be appealing it vigorously and quickly.

00:03:26.000 And 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.

00:03:41.000 It's just absolutely outrageous.

00:03:43.000 And I guess my key takeaway, my key message is just that we're not going to stop fighting.

00:03:47.000 President Trump is not going to stop fighting, and the American people shouldn't stop fighting.

00:03:52.000 So just how is the president doing personally?

00:03:55.000 Where is his head at?

00:03:57.000 What is this bringing him down?

00:03:59.000 He looks like he has more spirit and more resolve in an unprecedented grittiness.

00:03:59.000 He doesn't look it.

00:04:05.000 Will sharp.

00:04:06.000 You know, I was with him over at Trump Tower about an hour ago, just before he got in the motorcade to go out to Bedminster.

00:04:13.000 He actually told me to give you his best, Charlie.

00:04:15.000 He said that you're one of his favorite people.

00:04:18.000 But the president's spirits are high.

00:04:20.000 I mean, he understands that this is a sham.

00:04:22.000 And I think more importantly, he knows that the American people know that this was a sham trial.

00:04:27.000 And I think he derives great strength from that.

00:04:29.000 As he said last night, the real verdict is going to be the verdict of the American people next November.

00:04:35.000 He's crushing it in the polls.

00:04:36.000 He's going to be our next president.

00:04:38.000 And 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.

00:04:54.000 Will, I want you to comment on something here.

00:04:56.000 And I think you are uniquely positioned to riff on this.

00:05:01.000 There's a group of people that are temperamentally conservative.

00:05:05.000 They've been, they're center right, but they don't like Trump.

00:05:08.000 And they have a lot of trust in the legal system.

00:05:12.000 Just as a vibe check yesterday, you know who I'm talking about, right?

00:05:15.000 They tend to be college-educated.

00:05:18.000 Again, these are decent people.

00:05:19.000 I think their politics are a little screwy at times, but they're not liberals.

00:05:22.000 They are not leftists, but they're institutionalists.

00:05:25.000 They 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.

00:05:37.000 From a vibe check yesterday, Will, I saw a complete sea change.

00:05:40.000 I saw people that were once very defensive of institutions all of a sudden say, oh my goodness, this is worse than I realize.

00:05:49.000 Will, can you riff on that?

00:05:51.000 I think this is a very important topic.

00:05:54.000 I think the veil has fallen.

00:05:56.000 I think the American people see what's going on here and understand what's going on here.

00:06:00.000 This was not a normal criminal prosecution.

00:06:03.000 This 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.

00:06:15.000 If President Trump weren't running, he never would have been prosecuted and he obviously wouldn't have been convicted.

00:06:20.000 So 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.

00:06:30.000 And I think Americans are waking up to it.

00:06:31.000 I 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.

00:06:43.000 But 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.

00:06:56.000 It's Stalinist.

00:06:57.000 It's banana republic type stuff. 0.98

00:06:59.000 It's just absolutely disgusting. 0.91

00:07:01.000 And I hope the American people are taking notice.

00:07:04.000 And I think that many are finally waking up.

00:07:08.000 I think that's right.

00:07:09.000 I want to get to a piece of tape here, but I just want to, one of the top questions people have is, how will Trump run if he is in jail?

00:07:17.000 Now, I want to just be very clear.

00:07:18.000 That is unlikely, but I wouldn't be shocked if Alvin Bragg asks for prison time and the judge requests it.

00:07:25.000 How does that work with July 11th sentencing?

00:07:28.000 Yeah, he's not going to go to prison.

00:07:30.000 As soon as we have his sentence, we will immediately appeal to the New York Appellate Division.

00:07:35.000 If, God forbid, there were to be a prison sentence, we would have powerful ways of challenging that as well.

00:07:40.000 We 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.

00:07:49.000 The chances of a prison sentence here are slim.

00:07:52.000 We'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.

00:08:00.000 They want to be able to call President Trump a convicted felon.

00:08:03.000 But I think ultimately our justice system will get it right.

00:08:06.000 I think ultimately President Trump will be exonerated.

00:08:09.000 And ultimately, this unjust verdict will be thrown out because it is just that.

00:08:13.000 It is an unjust, totally unfair verdict from a crooked court.

00:08:18.000 We had a wildly biased judge who should have never been on this case.

00:08:22.000 And 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.

00:08:32.000 I love the clarity.

00:08:33.000 I mean, you thought this through brilliantly, Will.

00:08:37.000 I want to get to a piece of tape here, which I think is very important.

00:08:40.000 And this is some people on the left that are celebrating this.

00:08:44.000 Let's play cut 147.

00:08:46.000 We've been holding our breath as a country for a long time, waiting for the cavalry to arrive in the form of the rule of law.

00:08:54.000 And it did arrive today.

00:08:56.000 And it's a majestic day.

00:08:58.000 And we are rightly saying the system worked like clockwork.

00:09:01.000 And the jury was diligent and attentive.

00:09:04.000 And the judge was firm and gentle.

00:09:08.000 Donald Trump is a different person now.

00:09:10.000 He's a convict.

00:09:12.000 He's not innocent until presumed guilty.

00:09:14.000 He is guilty.

00:09:15.000 He 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.

00:09:24.000 That'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.

00:09:41.000 Will sharp your reaction.

00:09:42.000 If 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.

00:09:55.000 This is a made-up, invented crime that has never been prosecuted before in the history of the state of New York.

00:10:02.000 What they did here is very simple.

00:10:04.000 They wanted to indict President Trump.

00:10:06.000 They figured out this phony legal theory that allowed them to drag him into court.

00:10:11.000 There was a biased judge who presided over a rigged trial who rammed a verdict down the throat of these 12 jurors.

00:10:18.000 That's what happened here.

00:10:20.000 And don't let any of the left celebration and their pronouncements about the rule of law fool you.

00:10:25.000 This was a rigged trial from the start, intended to interfere in the 2024 election.

00:10:31.000 In 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.

00:10:49.000 And 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.

00:10:57.000 That is what we are seeing here play out in this New York court.

00:11:01.000 A newfangled and artificial treason, a totally made-up crime being used to oppress the principal political opponent of the regime in power.

00:11:11.000 And make no mistake about it.

00:11:13.000 This prosecution, all of these prosecutions start with Joe Biden and his closest allies in the White House.

00:11:20.000 And I hope to God they're held accountable at the ballot box this November, because otherwise I fear for the future of our republic.

00:11:27.000 You and the audience, we are the jury now.

00:11:29.000 We are the jury.

00:11:30.000 November 5th is now the judgment day.

00:11:34.000 It 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.

00:11:43.000 And it comes down to the elemental, the foundational aspects of a society.

00:11:50.000 If you can throw people you don't like in jail on made-up stuff, you don't have a country.

00:11:55.000 You are living an outright totalitarianism, period.

00:11:58.000 Okay, Will, I know you have about two and a half minutes here.

00:12:00.000 Very busy man.

00:12:01.000 Talk about how this election is bigger than just Trump v. Biden v. RFK.

00:12:08.000 This is now the stakes of a civilization.

00:12:08.000 No, no, no.

00:12:12.000 If we lose this election, I fear that we will no longer have a republic.

00:12:16.000 If we allow this bogus campaign of lawfare to dictate the future of our country, the left will do this every single time.

00:12:25.000 They will do it to every one of us.

00:12:27.000 Anyone who dares speak out against leftist tyranny will be imprisoned.

00:12:32.000 I think we are literally looking at the end of our republic.

00:12:35.000 And 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.

00:12:46.000 And 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.

00:12:55.000 That's my great fear.

00:12:57.000 I know that's a fear of yours, Charlie.

00:12:59.000 Fortunately, I think the American people are waking up.

00:13:02.000 I think we are going to win.

00:13:04.000 I think it's going to be a landslide, a red wave, the likes of which this country has not seen in a long time.

00:13:10.000 I love you, Will.

00:13:12.000 I'm too paranoid to say those words, but I want to agree with you.

00:13:15.000 All I know is I get to work.

00:13:16.000 I never, we don't say the L word and we don't say the RW term.

00:13:22.000 I love you.

00:13:23.000 That'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.

00:13:29.000 Will, you're doing great work.

00:13:31.000 We're behind you 100%.

00:13:32.000 And if we had fair elections, if we didn't have a regime that hated us, that is what would happen.

00:13:37.000 But I'm afraid this thing is going to be a nail biter and we have to play like we're 10 points behind.

00:13:41.000 Will, thanks so much.

00:13:43.000 Chase every vote, Charlie.

00:13:44.000 Thanks a lot.

00:13:46.000 That is right.

00:13:48.000 That is right.

00:13:48.000 He knows it.

00:13:49.000 We chase every single vote.

00:13:52.000 That means that we are going to do the prep work.

00:13:52.000 And what does that mean?

00:13:54.000 You are going to do the prep work.

00:13:56.000 What does chasing ballots look like?

00:13:58.000 Well, right here on my phone, every single day, I wake up with an alert and it's an app called Countdown.

00:14:04.000 158 days till Judgment Day.

00:14:08.000 158 days till they count ballots.

00:14:12.000 It's 158 days.

00:14:15.000 But it doesn't start there.

00:14:18.000 What every single day are you going to give everything you can for this republic?

00:14:23.000 The stakes have never been higher.

00:14:25.000 They've never been higher.

00:14:27.000 The other side has contempt, hatred, has resentment for everything that we care about.

00:14:38.000 And it's going to come down to whether or not we're willing to chase ballots.

00:14:42.000 Here's what it looks like.

00:14:43.000 As soon as early ballots go out, that's when the work really begins.

00:14:47.000 Every single day, we are going to be saying, how many people were you able to get to submit their ballots?

00:14:52.000 And in states where ballot is harvesting is legal, how many ballots did you harvest?

00:14:55.000 And you've got to follow the law.

00:14:56.000 But in Arizona, that's not legal.

00:14:56.000 Follow the law.

00:14:58.000 So you ballot chase.

00:14:59.000 In Nevada, you can ballot harvest.

00:15:01.000 And we are now going to have the greatest full court press.

00:15:04.000 We're going to flood the zone in voting month.

00:15:08.000 We are going to own voting month.

00:15:11.000 And everyone has their task. 0.98

00:15:13.000 I was just talking to Katherine Engelbrecht this morning, amazing patriot. 1.00

00:15:16.000 She's all about election integrity.

00:15:18.000 She said, Charlie, I love the lane that you're in.

00:15:18.000 You know what's so awesome?

00:15:21.000 Voter turnout, grassroots activity, chasing ballots.

00:15:25.000 Can you give us some bodies to help us secure our election?

00:15:27.000 He said, absolutely.

00:15:28.000 We're working in harmony.

00:15:29.000 That's not our lane.

00:15:30.000 Our lane is flood the system, get the pieces of paper in there, chase the ballots, get the grassroots invigorated.

00:15:37.000 That is our lane, and we're good at it.

00:15:39.000 If I was not hosting radio, and if he was still alive, I could tell you exactly what I would be doing at 12 o'clock Eastern.

00:15:50.000 I could tell what I used to do.

00:15:51.000 Whenever 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.

00:16:03.000 I 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.

00:16:26.000 Whenever there was confusion, whenever there was calamity, whenever there was a time where we needed guidance, we let El Rushbo show us the way.

00:16:40.000 This is one of the last episodes of the Rush Lumbaugh program.

00:16:43.000 He predicted this to a T.

00:16:46.000 The man is a prophet.

00:16:48.000 And I praise God, I had the ability to get to know him, to email with him.

00:16:55.000 He spoke at our events.

00:16:56.000 I got to call him a friend.

00:16:58.000 He was a very generous donor to Turning Point USA.

00:17:02.000 This is one of the last things Rush Lumbaugh ever said on air.

00:17:06.000 Play Cut 186.

00:17:08.000 I know they desperately want Trump gone, and I know that they desperately want it codified that Trump cannot run again.

00:17:16.000 Because make no mistake, they remain scared to death of you, and they remain scared to death of Trump.

00:17:22.000 They can't separate you from Trump.

00:17:26.000 And more importantly, they can't separate you from the ideas.

00:17:33.000 They 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.

00:17:47.000 They can't do it because you came before Trump.

00:17:51.000 You came before Trump.

00:17:54.000 He predicted all the lawfare that we are living through right now.

00:17:58.000 And I would be listening for that steady hand.

00:18:01.000 And do you know what Rush Lumbaugh would be say?

00:18:03.000 If I could just impart a little bit of what I know Rush would say today, you know what he would say?

00:18:09.000 He'd say, I'll let you know when to worry.

00:18:12.000 And Rush never did.

00:18:14.000 Rush never told us when to worry.

00:18:18.000 He had such faith in the American people.

00:18:21.000 He 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.

00:18:34.000 And this is what is so exciting.

00:18:35.000 It is now the will of the people versus the tyranny of the elites.

00:18:40.000 It 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. 1.00

00:18:51.000 This top-down revolution of a bitter, resentful ruling class that wants nothing to do with your American way of life.

00:19:03.000 And that is what is really at stake right now.

00:19:06.000 What is the American way of life?

00:19:09.000 Own property, have children, get married, serve God, serve charity.

00:19:17.000 It is our privilege to be here in this moment of history.

00:19:20.000 That's the way you have to look at this.

00:19:22.000 It is all dependent on what we do at this.

00:19:25.000 You can look at this and say, boy, this is just nothing but terrible.

00:19:28.000 I've already, I've exhausted my mourning.

00:19:32.000 Now all of a sudden, I say, how awesome is this? 0.98

00:19:34.000 We're not just born in the 90s where, you know, the biggest concern was Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and all that silly garbage. 0.96

00:19:41.000 No, this is now civilizational stuff. 0.95

00:19:44.000 You are alive with breath in your lungs to make an impact.

00:19:50.000 And for those of you that aren't fighters and you're Sunshine Patriots and your summer soldiers, that's fine.

00:19:57.000 Get out of the way.

00:19:58.000 Those of us that have been preparing for this for 12 years, we are delighted that the stakes are this high.

00:20:06.000 We are thrilled that we are able to lean in and make a difference.

00:20:12.000 We live for this.

00:20:14.000 And you might say, but Charlie, I just, I want, this is too much for me.

00:20:17.000 That's fine.

00:20:18.000 Some people are weak-kneed and fragile and they collapse at an opposition word.

00:20:23.000 That's okay.

00:20:23.000 Just don't get in our way.

00:20:26.000 But I know the American people.

00:20:27.000 I 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.

00:20:34.000 And that's the way we must look at this as an opportunity, as we are now given the ability to rescue this great country.

00:20:44.000 That's awesome.

00:20:45.000 That's amazing.

00:20:47.000 That is a positive agenda.

00:20:49.000 And these people have done something evil and unpopular.

00:20:52.000 They've done something out of touch.

00:20:54.000 The vibe shift is off.

00:20:55.000 We are consolidating people of all backgrounds, and it's bigger than Donald J. Trump.

00:21:00.000 It is America that is on the ballot.

00:21:05.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:21:07.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:21:09.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.

00:21:13.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:21:15.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:21:20.000 As 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.

00:21:26.000 Your 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.

00:21:32.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:21:34.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:21:38.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:21:44.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:21:47.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:21:50.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:21:53.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:21:56.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:21:58.000 Also, save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:22:01.000 I'm a donor of this organization.

00:22:02.000 They're terrific.

00:22:03.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.

00:22:08.000 Somebody just said, Charlie, I'm not really a grassroots worker.

00:22:11.000 I have five kids.

00:22:12.000 The Lord has blessed me financially.

00:22:14.000 I'm going to give Turning Point USA Turning Point Action $25,000.

00:22:18.000 So that is his duty and his purpose and his task.

00:22:18.000 It's amazing.

00:22:21.000 And the opposite is some people have emailed and said, Charlie, I don't have any money, but I have energy.

00:22:25.000 I have enthusiasm.

00:22:26.000 Some people say, Charlie, I can't leave the home, but I can pray.

00:22:29.000 That's amazing.

00:22:29.000 You can pray and fast for the nation, have concern for us.

00:22:33.000 And that's what it's going to take.

00:22:34.000 But it won't be comfortable.

00:22:36.000 It won't be comfortable.

00:22:39.000 You see, we are living through a comfort crisis in this country.

00:22:44.000 That is one of my favorite all-time books, by the way, by Michael Easter.

00:22:49.000 The comfort crisis is that we gravitate towards air-conditioned homes, the perfect temperature, catered meals, three meals a day.

00:22:58.000 And we think that discomfort is a nasty word.

00:23:02.000 Security is a kind of death.

00:23:03.000 And 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.

00:23:18.000 We're just asking you now to win an election.

00:23:21.000 We have with us right now David Sachs.

00:23:22.000 David, thank you for taking time to join the program.

00:23:25.000 You had one of the tweets heard around the world.

00:23:27.000 First, David Sachs is hosting a fundraiser coming up with Donald Trump in Silicon Valley.

00:23:33.000 David 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.

00:23:42.000 And David, welcome program.

00:23:43.000 David, tell us why.

00:23:44.000 What are the stakes of this election?

00:23:46.000 Gosh, well, the stakes just went up because it seems like what we're doing now is criminalizing political disagreements.

00:23:51.000 I mean, the way it works in a lot of banana republics is that if you lose an election, you go to jail.

00:23:57.000 And that's what it seems like right now.

00:23:59.000 I mean, this was a nakedly, transparently political prosecution.

00:24:03.000 Nobody but Donald Trump, I think, would ever have been prosecuted for this.

00:24:07.000 The case was a Frankenstein monster of novel legal theories cobbled together.

00:24:12.000 Previous prosecutors had looked at this and decided not to take up these charges.

00:24:18.000 The previous Manhattan DA, Cyrus Vance, Merrick Arlen's DOJ, the FEC, they all looked at this and decided there wasn't a case here.

00:24:27.000 But Alvin Bragg won a hotly contested DA race to succeed Cyrus Vance by promising to get Trump.

00:24:35.000 And that's what he did.

00:24:36.000 He brought this case.

00:24:38.000 And I suspect that within the ranks of the Democratic Party, he'll ultimately be rewarded for this.

00:24:43.000 So I think this is a new era of American politics where prosecuting your political enemies is now just part of the game.

00:24:50.000 And I guess I have to just add to that the irony of the Soros DAs who originally were running on a platform of deprosecution.

00:25:01.000 I think they're now going to pivot to over-prosecution of people they consider to be political enemies.

00:25:07.000 I think that's the import of this, or I'm afraid that that's the import of what's just happened.

00:25:13.000 Yeah, David, I hate to use that term existential because I sound like Greta Thunberg, but this is existential, right?

00:25:18.000 I mean, this is civilizational.

00:25:21.000 And are you starting to see more people gravitate towards that view?

00:25:24.000 People that are not necessarily the biggest Trump fans, but they realize there's something bigger at play here.

00:25:30.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:25:31.000 And 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.

00:25:54.000 I mean, this tactic will become normalized.

00:25:56.000 The 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.

00:26:10.000 And our justice system will become increasingly politicized.

00:26:15.000 I mean, we've already seen this with Elon Musk, right?

00:26:18.000 His companies have been under virtual assault by the government on charges that seem ridiculous.

00:26:25.000 Tesla being investigated for supposedly building a glass house, whatever that means. 0.92

00:26:31.000 SpaceX being investigated for not hiring enough asylum seekers, basically illegal immigrants.

00:26:38.000 We'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.

00:26:47.000 And I think that if Biden wins the election, I think we can expect this to intensify.

00:26:54.000 On 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.

00:27:05.000 So I think it's a very important election to send the message that political prosecutions are not okay in America.

00:27:11.000 And then that's a message that should appeal to a lot of people in the middle or the center.

00:27:16.000 At least I hope it does.

00:27:17.000 Yes.

00:27:18.000 I mean, I totally agree.

00:27:19.000 So, Rich, let me sorry, I was reading something rich here.

00:27:21.000 So, David, let's talk about your upcoming event that you're hosting with Donald Trump in Silicon Valley.

00:27:27.000 You 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.

00:27:40.000 Talk about this upcoming event.

00:27:42.000 The bad guys are losing their mind.

00:27:44.000 What is going into this?

00:27:46.000 And why did you decide to host it?

00:27:47.000 Well, I've hosted a number of different events for different candidates.

00:27:51.000 And, you know, on the all-in podcast, we've had several candidates appear and they've done interviews on the show.

00:27:57.000 And we've also done an event for them.

00:27:59.000 So we did this for RFK Jr., we did it for Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:28:04.000 One of my co-hosts, Jamath, did one for Dean Phillips.

00:28:07.000 So this is something we've done.

00:28:09.000 We hope to get President Trump on the show.

00:28:12.000 And I think he, through his people, have indicated an interest in doing that.

00:28:16.000 I know he's pretty busy right now.

00:28:18.000 Yeah.

00:28:19.000 So that was part of it: we've been doing a number of these events.

00:28:23.000 And these events are a good way to interact with people in the political process.

00:28:29.000 So, you know, this is something that I've done now a number of times.

00:28:34.000 I did one for DeSantis during the primary.

00:28:37.000 And so it's not exclusively about Trump, but I was interested in doing this as well.

00:28:45.000 And 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.

00:28:59.000 And these choices have been A-B tested, right?

00:29:03.000 Meaning we had four years of Biden, we have four years of Trump.

00:29:05.000 People can look back and just ask the question: was I better off under Trump?

00:29:09.000 Was the world a safer place?

00:29:11.000 Was it calmer or more peaceful under Trump?

00:29:15.000 I 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.

00:29:22.000 And so the A-B test, so to speak, indicates Trump.

00:29:27.000 And so I think there's a lot of people who are closet supporters of Trump for that reason.

00:29:31.000 The 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.

00:29:39.000 So you take the 25% unrealized gains tax.

00:29:42.000 I mean, this is just an all-out assault on the basis upon which Silicon Valley works, which is broad-based stock ownership, right?

00:29:53.000 Founders create companies.

00:29:55.000 They 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.

00:30:04.000 And those shares are distributed very broadly to employees throughout the company.

00:30:10.000 And 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.

00:30:20.000 But in that rare instance, we'll create a great company.

00:30:23.000 Well, 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.

00:30:34.000 And where you get this money from is really not clear.

00:30:36.000 I think it would really, again, undermine and destroy the entire nature of Silicon Valley.

00:30:41.000 So I think if people are paying attention, they can just see that Biden's policies would not be good for Silicon Valley.

00:30:48.000 And so I think that Trump has a wellspring of support here.

00:30:52.000 And it's just people are afraid to acknowledge that.

00:30:55.000 Well, and I want to talk, so the oligarchy of Silicon Valley might benefit from that.

00:31:00.000 But there is, and this is important, it's not just Facebook, Google, Apple.

00:31:06.000 There are thousands of startup companies that are trying to do exciting things and try to have innovations.

00:31:13.000 It seems as if that Biden is fine giving a handout to the big ones, the multi-trillion dollar companies.

00:31:19.000 If you take Facebook, Google, Apple, I think it's like $4 or $5 trillion market cap combined, just of those three companies.

00:31:25.000 But it is the smaller, more entrepreneurial, disruptive companies that seem to be the target of the Biden tax policy and his agenda.

00:31:35.000 Well, 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.

00:31:52.000 And by the way, they call it a billionaire's tax, but it's not.

00:31:55.000 I think that it's triggered, I think, at $100 million and Elizabeth Warren wants to make that 50 million.

00:32:03.000 And the way these things go is that number will just keep coming down over time once they pass it.

00:32:08.000 Now, 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.

00:32:22.000 And it's unclear where people would get the money from to pay this tax bill.

00:32:29.000 And so just the risk of that happening would have to be thought through even at the creation of these companies.

00:32:36.000 So no one's going to wait for the Series C to figure this out.

00:32:38.000 And I think it's going to lead to a restructuring of the way that Silicon Valley does business.

00:32:44.000 So, you know, again, it's not, it'd be wrong just to see it as like some sort of rich person's tax.

00:32:50.000 You know, taxes create incentives.

00:32:51.000 They create structural problems.

00:32:54.000 And that can really change the way that Silicon Valley works.

00:32:57.000 And 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.

00:33:09.000 That's the American dream.

00:33:10.000 You 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.

00:33:27.000 And so you really don't want to tamper, I think, with the kind of magical formula of that startup engine in Silicon Valley.

00:33:35.000 So, but look, this is just, Charlie, this is just one policy where I think Biden has been very bad.

00:33:41.000 Another one is just on crypto.

00:33:43.000 You know, there's a very, sorry to interrupt, David.

00:33:48.000 The president made a huge announcement this last weekend at the Libertarian Convention a week ago with some big promises on crypto.

00:33:54.000 Talk about that.

00:33:56.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:56.000 Well, so basically for the last three years, Elizabeth Warren and Gensler, the head of the SEC, have been driving the train on crypto policy.

00:34:05.000 And they are basically hostile to crypto.

00:34:08.000 And they either want to shut it down or drive it offshore.

00:34:11.000 And so there's a lot of startups and a lot of founders.

00:34:15.000 There's a lot of innovation happening on the blockchain.

00:34:19.000 And 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.

00:34:33.000 They just want a predictable set of rules that they can follow.

00:34:36.000 And they're happy to follow the rules if you'll just be clear about getting them.

00:34:40.000 And, 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.

00:34:46.000 But that has not worked out.

00:34:50.000 That's not exactly what that's not exactly what's happened when companies have gone to the SEC.

00:34:55.000 Besides, who wants to go to the SEC?

00:34:57.000 You just want to understand what the rules are.

00:34:58.000 Just tell us what the rules are.

00:35:00.000 So 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.

00:35:15.000 And they are willing now to donate to candidates who support them.

00:35:18.000 And they can clearly see that Trump is, I'd say, pro-crypto.

00:35:25.000 He's pro-innovation.

00:35:26.000 And Biden is anti.

00:35:27.000 And I think they're increasingly willing to open their checkbooks for Trump.

00:35:32.000 Yeah.

00:35:32.000 And again, these coalitions are super important.

00:35:36.000 And these issues have more of a consolidation than not.

00:35:41.000 I want to ask you just kind of back to the fundraiser you're doing.

00:35:46.000 I'm just generally interested.

00:35:49.000 Have you received more backlash for this announcement than other fundraisers in the past?

00:35:53.000 You know, I haven't really gotten much backlash, but some of my friends have.

00:36:00.000 So the people who get upset about this are too cowardly to confront me directly about it.

00:36:06.000 They 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.

00:36:13.000 That's kind of the way these people operate.

00:36:16.000 But 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?

00:36:34.000 And the reporter didn't realize that the gate he was buzzing was the host of the event.

00:36:39.000 So there's that kind of stuff going on.

00:36:41.000 But people have, I mean, to be perfectly honest about it so far, I have not gotten a ton of blowback about it.

00:36:48.000 But 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.

00:36:55.000 Well, that is definitely comforting.

00:36:57.000 And, 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.

00:37:06.000 We 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.

00:37:15.000 Just the last thing that I want to kind of talk about is important.

00:37:20.000 I mean, I think it's important.

00:37:22.000 I think that virtuous class traders actually are the missing ingredient right now in saving the country.

00:37:29.000 Yeah.

00:37:29.000 No, I agree.

00:37:31.000 I 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.

00:37:46.000 Why would you do that?

00:37:47.000 You know, it's not, it's not in your interest.

00:37:50.000 It'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.

00:37:58.000 But again, I do think that there is more latent support for Trump than people are willing to express.

00:38:03.000 In other words, there's a lot of preference falsification going on.

00:38:08.000 And I think the reason why they get upset about events like this is because it could start a preference cascade, right?

00:38:17.000 If 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.

00:38:26.000 I 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.

00:38:37.000 And 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.

00:41:29.000 That is tpaction.com/slash peoples.

00:41:32.000 TPaction.com slash peoples.

00:41:34.000 And let's just put that graphic up.

00:41:36.000 Let's play cut three up just on screen here.

00:41:40.000 This is Detroit.

00:41:41.000 We are going to take over Detroit.

00:41:44.000 This is very similar to Bronx Energy here.

00:42:04.000 We're going to be doing all of our shows there.

00:42:06.000 We're going to be having breakout sessions.

00:42:08.000 We're going to show you how to fight.

00:42:09.000 If you have energy right now, you're saying, oh my goodness, I can't handle this.

00:42:13.000 I can't take it anymore.

00:42:15.000 Come to Detroit.

00:42:16.000 Get into the weeds of the grassroots.

00:42:18.000 You 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.

00:42:25.000 That's what this is all about.

00:42:28.000 They indict, we unite.

00:42:30.000 They indict, we unite.

00:42:32.000 We unite all of our forces.

00:42:34.000 If you hate the Marxists, if you hate the totalitarians, let's marshal all of these together.

00:42:40.000 That's what this is about.

00:42:41.000 This is a call to action.

00:42:42.000 What a time to be alive, to be able to say that I was able to fight.

00:42:46.000 I was alive.

00:42:48.000 I 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.

00:42:54.000 And we said no.

00:42:56.000 That's what's in front of us.

00:42:57.000 tpaction.com slash peoples see in Detroit.

00:43:03.000 We are continuing.

00:43:04.000 We have done nearly, we went for nearly two hours yesterday.

00:43:07.000 My day yesterday was the three hours of radio.

00:43:10.000 I did an hour donor presentation.

00:43:13.000 I did an hour C-level meeting.

00:43:15.000 Then we live streamed right after for about 20 minutes.

00:43:19.000 Then I had a doctor's appointment.

00:43:21.000 Then we did two hours of rumble streaming.

00:43:25.000 And I got more energy than I've ever had.

00:43:29.000 Because what a time to be alive.

00:43:30.000 You know, some people are lacking in purpose.

00:43:33.000 Here's the cool thing.

00:43:35.000 And by the way, the number, we were one of the biggest streams out there yesterday.

00:43:38.000 We were great.

00:43:39.000 You have no lack of purpose if you're in this fight.

00:43:42.000 And look, by the way, this is not cut out for everybody.

00:43:44.000 I want to say that again.

00:43:45.000 Some people can't handle it.

00:43:47.000 As Jack Nicholas would say, can't handle the truth.

00:43:49.000 He can't handle the spice right now.

00:43:50.000 It's just too much.

00:43:51.000 Like, oh, this is too loud.

00:43:53.000 I'm not built for it.

00:43:54.000 Perfectly fine.

00:43:55.000 I do not fault you.

00:43:57.000 So not everyone has the C-legs that are necessary right now.

00:44:01.000 Not everyone has what it takes.

00:44:03.000 Because we are living through historic and monumental times.

00:44:07.000 Never in the history of the country has a president been convicted before.

00:44:13.000 It's never happened.

00:44:14.000 And they just make stuff up.

00:44:16.000 They just can make up the law.

00:44:17.000 But every indicator shows that this is not working for the Democrats.

00:44:23.000 Predictit.com is the most accurate betting market.

00:44:28.000 And this, because this is money.

00:44:30.000 You actually put money in.

00:44:31.000 This is not just guessing.

00:44:32.000 Right now, it's been going up and down all day.

00:44:34.000 It has 51% chance that Trump wins 49% Biden.

00:44:37.000 It was even more than that as the day started.

00:44:39.000 Biden spoke, and so it went up a little bit.

00:44:42.000 It's a little fickle.

00:44:45.000 Let's put 160 up on screen.

00:44:48.000 The screen grab is not the best screen grab, but it's fine.

00:44:50.000 Play cut 160 up.

00:44:51.000 It's the Afghan thing. 1.00

00:44:53.000 This is Sean McGuire, who's from Sequoia Capital.

00:44:56.000 He just donated $300,000 to Trump.

00:44:58.000 The Tate brothers, using the N-word on Twitter, I don't get it, whatever.

00:45:03.000 They donated $200,000 to Trump.

00:45:05.000 Again, I don't know what vehicles these guys are giving money to.

00:45:08.000 So 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.

00:45:15.000 However, that's not a problem that most people have to worry about.

00:45:18.000 What if his poll numbers go up?

00:45:21.000 What if he gets more popular?

00:45:23.000 Here's how I analyze the landscape: that the American people see this for what it is, and they're repulsed by the practice of it.

00:45:28.000 They might not love Trump. 0.99

00:45:29.000 They might think that Trump is kind of a jerk, but the American people are more wise than unwise when it comes to this. 0.99

00:45:35.000 They see that the trend is very disturbing. 1.00

00:45:37.000 They say, oh, boy, I don't like this.

00:45:38.000 This is how we're going to solve our differences.

00:45:40.000 We're going to just throw our political opponents in court.

00:45:43.000 The Democrats might get a little sugar high boost out of this.

00:45:46.000 You got Jamal Bowman dancing in the streets.

00:45:49.000 Do we have a clip of that?

00:45:50.000 You got the Levi Jeans guy, Dan Goldman, celebrating on morning Mika.

00:45:57.000 But you're not seeing the celebration in the streets.

00:46:00.000 You're not seeing the exuberance.

00:46:03.000 Let's play cut 185.

00:46:13.000 So 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.

00:46:26.000 These are bloodthirsty savages that want to see their political opponents put in prison. 0.99

00:46:32.000 However, the Democrats who know, it seems as if they're a little bit concerned that this is not hitting.

00:46:41.000 This is not resonating.

00:46:43.000 It's because the American people see this for what it is.

00:46:48.000 That this is a desperate, unpopular government that has made everything more expensive.

00:46:53.000 Your dollar weaker, your border open, and war is everywhere.

00:46:57.000 Dollar weaker, border open, war is everywhere.

00:47:01.000 An unpopular government that is doing the thing that no government has ever done before.

00:47:08.000 And if they were able to actually contest in legal and normal ways, here's the Biden crew.

00:47:16.000 Enjoy your cheers right now, Biden.

00:47:17.000 Play Cut 156.

00:47:33.000 Now that we have a verdict.

00:47:35.000 Obviously, these guilty verdicts are a political gift to Democrats, a political gift to the president.

00:47:40.000 He is now running against a convicted felon.

00:47:43.000 Yeah, running against a convicted felon.

00:47:45.000 Game on, guys.

00:47:46.000 That's all you got.

00:47:47.000 This was your big thing.

00:47:48.000 This was your big summer surprise.

00:47:52.000 But you have just awoken a sleeping giant and a motivated force.

00:47:57.000 So let's summarize this whole thing together here.

00:48:01.000 CNN senior legal analyst describes how the Trump conviction was a political hitchhiker.

00:48:04.000 Quote, 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.

00:48:11.000 Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, it is a fact that I've sued Donald Trump over 100 times.

00:48:18.000 Most importantly, the DA charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law in due process.

00:48:23.000 The charges against Trump are obscure and nearly entirely unprecedented.

00:48:26.000 In 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.

00:48:35.000 The 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.

00:48:48.000 Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were.

00:48:53.000 And 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.

00:49:00.000 Notice that the defendant accusations against him and evidence advance a trial.

00:49:05.000 In these key aspects, the charges against Trump are not just unusual.

00:49:08.000 They're bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president, nobody else.

00:49:12.000 The 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.

00:49:32.000 This is a CNN legal analyst, CNN legal analyst.

00:49:37.000 They think that they can take out our movement with a documents case or a paperwork thing in New York.

00:49:44.000 Our movement is much stronger than that, and it is ascendant.

00:49:46.000 In 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.

00:49:55.000 It went from polarizing to popular.

00:49:57.000 Boom.

00:49:59.000 It went from something that people were afraid to wear that they're proud to wear.

00:50:02.000 I think it's going to happen very quickly. 0.70

00:50:04.000 In 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.

00:50:14.000 And the monster is coming after them.

00:50:18.000 And the jury couldn't even look Trump in the eyes after the verdict.

00:50:21.000 They know they did something wrong.

00:50:22.000 And Trump is a political dissident.

00:50:25.000 You are a political dissident.

00:50:27.000 All of us together.

00:50:28.000 And we have our marching orders.

00:50:30.000 November 5th, counting of ballots day is when we send our message.

00:50:37.000 And so what work are we going to do in the meantime?

00:50:39.000 We're going to find our voters.

00:50:41.000 We're going to register them.

00:50:42.000 We're going to do the work, persuade the other ones.

00:50:45.000 We outwork them.

00:50:47.000 We're going to have a good shot.

00:50:51.000 Thanks so much for listening.
