00:00:54.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:02.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries.
00:01:06.000Destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:23.000And so just everyone knows, Turning Point USA, we are doing the work on the ground to save America.
00:02:28.000This is clipboard and tennis shoes type work.
00:02:29.000While other people are kind of talking and debating past each other in Washington, D.C., and they're writing white papers that people won't read.
00:02:36.000Look at these images, one after the other, after the other, doing the difficult work.
00:03:12.000And the movement's growing and the word is spreading around campus.
00:03:15.000I'm so excited to see it grow, especially this year.
00:03:17.000And so tell us are you seeing, you know, especially with young men, are you seeing a little bit of a heightened interest more so than previous years?
00:03:27.000And I absolutely think they're fed up.
00:03:29.000I think they're pissed off coming out of the public school system at their high school.
00:03:33.000They're tired of these liberal indoctrination camps that keep weighing them down and they're not able to express themselves in school freely as much as they are on college campuses.
00:03:43.000And then they come to college and they say, you know what?
00:03:49.000I'm joining a Turning Point USA chapter, and I'm going to make a difference on my campus and in my community.
00:03:55.000And that's also why I'm really excited for our high school department expanding and getting onto even more high school campuses than ever before.
00:04:04.000So, yeah, it's great things all the way around.
00:04:06.000And so, we are the only organization in America, Turning Point USA, that has a full time staff, nearly 50 to 60 people, just focused on high school chapter development.
00:04:47.000I mean, we've seen, just honestly, last week we had a number of freshmen come up and they say, hey, I know this is syllabus week, but we just had a number of classes in the political science department.
00:05:00.000And they seem to already be pushing these liberal and woke agendas day one with their curriculum.
00:05:10.000They're wanting a community to support them.
00:05:14.000And we can provide that for them on campus.
00:05:16.000And just, you know, creating that space where someone can come together and meet with like minded students and have that support and be able to report on the professors that are, you know, basically creating these indoctrination camps in their classrooms.
00:05:31.000Is a great resource for them and they're very appreciative of it.
00:06:07.000I was actually, I think I was a junior or senior at Auburn University.
00:06:12.000And, you know, I'd followed Turning Point USA since the beginning on social media and everything.
00:06:17.000And honestly, I saw how the college Republicans on campus were all just kind of lame, not really doing much, didn't have much interaction and all.
00:06:25.000And I was like, let's start a Turning Point USA chapter.
00:06:28.000So I just went on the website and looked up all the information, how to get it started, and kicked it off from that point on.
00:06:53.000They actually just had their first meeting last night, their first chapter meeting of the semester, and over 50 freshmen attended their chapter alone.
00:07:02.000And we must understand there's some kids that are afraid.
00:07:05.000These are kids that are outspoken, right?
00:07:07.000Because there's a silent majority, too, right?
00:07:55.000There is this silent majority that's still kind of waiting in the balance.
00:07:59.000I feel like COVID helped a lot of people come out of the closet as a conservative, but we still have to push more and more to encourage more of these professors and students to come out of the closet and express their conservative values openly and proudly.
00:08:30.000I was told repeatedly by the Republican conservative oligarchs, this can't be done on campus, a waste of time.
00:08:36.000We have proven them wrong over 11 years.
00:08:39.000When we first started 11 years ago, the millennial generation was supposed to be the most progressive generation, just from a worldview perspective.
00:08:45.000Now millennials are about 50 50, almost within 50 50, and Gen Z is trending amazingly.
00:09:16.000The excitement when we're tabling students are running across the concourse to our table the second that they see our signs, the second they see the Turning Point USA logo.
00:09:26.000And they're like, okay, now's the time.
00:11:02.000That's the type of muscle that is going to make a difference for generations.
00:11:06.000TPUSA.com started high school or college chapter today.
00:11:13.000Listen, as students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in history?
00:11:20.000Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God given and not granted by government?
00:11:24.000Will they be given a full and honest account of our nation's history?
00:11:27.000The answer to all these questions is yes for students at Hillsdale College.
00:11:31.000And these days, in addition to teaching college students, Hillsdale has extended its teaching to K 12 students and lifelong learners like you and me.
00:11:39.000If you're not doing so already, one of the best ways to start learning is to learn.
00:11:42.000From my friends at Hillsdale is through In Primus, Hillsdale's free digest of liberty.
00:11:48.000My listeners can sign up for free at this special website, which is available for a limited time.
00:12:34.000Ryan, don't lose this because they're going to try to memory hole this.
00:12:39.000I have the actual physical copy in front of me.
00:12:42.000To improve democracy, get rid of elections.
00:12:44.000Did you just see the kind of Yale educated, Xanax addicted, Chardonnay sipping wine mom in Greenwich, Connecticut, who's sitting on her porch?
00:13:02.000To improve democracy, get rid of elections.
00:13:06.000There was no outrage, no backlash whatsoever that I saw.
00:13:14.000First, let me get through this New York Times article that was published this morning by Tressie McMillan Cottam.
00:13:28.000She says sorority rush is a tradition at many colleges, but in the South, rush inspires the same passionate zeal as collegiate football.
00:13:41.000Thanks to TikTok, the University of Alabama's incarnation of that tradition, peak neo antebellum white Southern culture on display is now a global phenomenon since it entered the zeitgeist in 2021.
00:13:59.000Millions of people have followed Bama Rush as if they're royal watching through mason jar tinted glasses.
00:14:08.000They say global neo antebellum culture.
00:14:13.000The entire world is acting like it was acting before the Civil War.
00:14:19.000Is it really that controversial to say that all lives matter?
00:14:22.000That's considered to be hate speech on some campuses.
00:15:10.000Peak neo antebellum white Southern culture on display.
00:15:15.000So she's basically saying that if you rush and do a TikTok video about it at the University of Alabama, you are a moral equivalent of slave owners back in the 1840s.
00:15:30.000Is she trying to imply that it's a hate crime for white college girls to make TikTok videos?
00:15:35.000Where they are smiling and they're not ugly and miserable and deferential to quote unquote their racial betters?
00:15:44.000How did this pass the New York Times approval board for opinion?
00:15:50.000Who at the New York Times saw this and said, you know, this is really deep, Tressie McMillan Cottom?
00:17:59.000I want to encourage people to get your book, Get Trump, The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law.
00:18:05.000And honestly, since Donald Trump has come on the scene, people that otherwise were rational have lost their mind.
00:18:10.000Professor, help me understand how Lawrence Tribe, in good faith, could write an article in The Atlantic saying that Donald Trump should not be allowed on the ballot based on just not a conviction, but just being accused.
00:18:30.000Tribe and Judge Lutek are in favor of really ending democracy, saying that a secretary of state or a governor from a Democratic state can simply say, I think that Donald Trump committed insurrection, rebellion, et cetera, and therefore I'm taking him off the ballot.
00:19:07.000You want to impeach somebody, you got to get two thirds of the vote in the Senate.
00:19:10.000If you want to get a president disabled, 25th Amendment, you got to go through hoops and changes and procedures.
00:19:16.000But no, Tribe and Ludic say that if you want to prevent the leading candidate who's trying to unseat the incumbent president, all you need is secretaries of state from the opposing party.
00:19:29.000To snap their finger and say, whoops, revolt, insurrection, insubordination.
00:19:35.000It's going to be used against Biden as well.
00:19:47.000That's all you need under the 14th Amendment, giving comfort to the enemy.
00:19:51.000Obviously, the 14th Amendment, which includes references to slavery and slave people, it includes references to financial aspects of the Civil War, was designed to be applicable to people who fought in the Civil War.
00:20:07.000They were parading around in Confederate uniforms and proudly establishing clubs.
00:20:12.000Veterans of the Confederacy, daughters of the Confederacy, mothers of the Confederacy.
00:20:16.000You didn't need a process if you applied the 14th Amendment to people who fought in the process in the Confederacy.
00:20:22.000But now they want to flash forward 150, 60, 70 years and say, whoops, this was an alternative to impeachment.
00:20:30.000And remember, too, people forget that the 14th Amendment doesn't talk about candidates, it doesn't mention running for office.
00:20:37.000It says, shall not be a president or a senator.
00:20:41.000In other words, you can use that while the president is sitting.
00:20:45.000As an alternative to impeachment, it is such a bizarre interpretation.
00:20:49.000If Ludek Latribe were in any of my classes, I would suggest to them that they drop out of law school.
00:20:56.000They're not really have the mind or the emotion to be lawyers, and they should go to either divinity school or public relations school, or maybe become political scientists and advocate rewriting the Constitution.
00:21:10.000But these are not constitutional scholars.
00:21:13.000These are constitutional advocates who first come to their conclusions and then they distort the Constitution.
00:21:58.000But this idea of denying me the right to vote against Trump for the third time and denying you the right to vote for Trump for the third time, that endangers democracy.
00:23:37.000The idea that you can remove a man who is the leading candidate from the ballot in some states if the Secretary of State wants to, but not in other states.
00:23:47.000Imagine what this will do to this election.
00:23:50.000It will make it an impossible election and it would turn 2020 into what would look like a perfect election.
00:23:59.000I really worry for the 2024 election because if we're not allowed to vote, what are the alternatives to democracy?
00:24:07.000Does it mean You know, people going out on the streets.
00:24:10.000I think we want to turn people to the voting booth and have them decide.
00:24:15.000That's what the Constitution is all about the right to make decisions under the law, not to distort the law.
00:24:23.000And you detail this in your book, Get Trump.
00:24:25.000I encourage the audience to look at it.
00:24:26.000Professor, I said yesterday that this is an attempt by other means to cancel elections as we know it.
00:24:35.000It would have been a few weeks ago today when you have the New York Times essentially editorializing against elections and saying, you know, it would be better.
00:24:43.000To have people picked by random rather than have elections.
00:24:48.000I mean, these are the people today writing for the New York Times.
00:24:51.000You know, I have a new book coming out in a few months called The New McCarthyism.
00:24:55.000And the subtitle is The New McCarthyism of the Left is Even More Dangerous Than the Old McCarthyism.
00:25:01.000Because the new McCarthyism involves young people who are going to be our future leaders, the future editors of the New York Times, the future owners of CNN, the future people in Congress.
00:25:10.000McCarthyism was old people who were, their careers were at an end.
00:25:14.000But I'm so worried that this new McCarthyism, which does not believe in democracy, is going to become the new Americanism.
00:26:50.000So I have the original to improve democracy, get rid of elections.
00:26:53.000Professor, that's the same day the tribe thing comes out.
00:26:56.000And then you have the New York Times also publish the same thing that tribe did, almost as if like they coordinated this, saying Donald Trump should not be allowed on the ballot.
00:27:06.000And it's, I'm getting the sense here that elections seem to just kind of be an annoyance to this very, very far left, not liberals, very far left.
00:27:16.000For the party of democracy, that's very, yes.
00:27:41.000Tribe and Lutic should tell us who will be the next president, not the voters.
00:27:45.000So please send me a copy of that headline.
00:27:48.000I want to make sure that all Americans and all readers of the New York Times are aware of what the New York Times is selling, what poison to democracy they're selling.
00:27:56.000So I have to ask, you know, Professor, you have kind of been excommunicated from high liberal society circles.
00:28:04.000But you still know atmospherically how they feel.
00:28:07.000Do you really think that this is going to be popular in the Martha's Vineyard crowd getting rid of elections?
00:28:17.000The Martha's Vineyard crowd wants to get together and have Larry David and his wife, former wife, Lori David, decide who the president should be, then pour a lot, a lot of money into it, and then have that president selected from a Martha's Vineyard caucus.
00:28:32.000They don't want folks like you voting.
00:28:34.000They're so elitist, they don't want to even on their island.
00:28:39.000And so, yes, it would be very popular with the Martha's Vineyard Chillmark crowd, not with the real people on Martha's Vineyard, but with the Chillmark crowd, the Hollywood crowd, the people that think they know better than anyone else.
00:28:51.000And Americans just should not accept that.
00:28:53.000Yeah, the Martha's Vineyard Politburo wants to get rid of the elections.
00:29:49.000But in the end, the courts will say, no, the Secretary of State can't take him off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
00:29:56.000I think he'll be convicted in a number of places, particularly New York and D.C., where the jury pool is so heavily against Trump.
00:30:04.000But these convictions will likely be reversed on appeal.
00:30:07.000But the goal of the Get Trump people is convict him before the election and don't worry that the convictions are reversed after the election.
00:30:39.000So he can try to move the case to the federal court, and then there would be a quick route up to the Supreme Court.
00:30:45.000The question is, Can they find issues that will get to the Supreme Court before the election, or will these issues only get to the Supreme Court after the election?
00:30:55.000The Get Trump posse wants to get these convictions before the election.
00:30:59.000So, Professor, if you look at trying to build a proper defense for President Trump and the people in his orbit, you have said that the New York case is one of the sloppiest written in your whole career.
00:31:14.000Now that you've had a chance to mull over and look at the Fulton County case, which is very wide ranging and reaching.
00:31:20.000Do you feel that the Fulton County case in a normal world, a non political world, is equally as weak of a case?
00:32:22.000Certainly, the DC case will be appealed.
00:32:24.000Remember, these law professors, Republican law professors, Federalist Society people, filed an amicus brief with the DC court saying they want the case to be tried January 2nd.
00:32:34.000That's four months and three weeks after a complicated multi count indictment, unthinkable, unearthed.
00:32:42.000Let me tell you what I would do if I were a lawyer and I were representing one of these defendants.
00:32:45.000I go before the court and say, Your Honor, asking me to try a case in four months and three weeks is like asking a brain surgeon to perform life threatening surgery in two hours after being told to do so without doing the preparation.
00:33:00.000I will not sully the law by defending this man because I can't defend him.
00:33:06.000In four months and three weeks, I need at least eight, nine months to prepare.
00:33:49.000If the judge were to order this case to trial within four months and three weeks, or the case in Georgia within six months, I think an appellate court would say, absolutely not.
