00:01:17.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:56.000If we're going to take back our country, it has to start from the bottom up, not the top down.
00:02:00.000So I just want to thank the organizers of this event that have done a phenomenal job.
00:02:05.000So there's a lot I want to talk about tonight.
00:02:08.000I actually have some really good news to share.
00:02:10.000So I'm going to be a different type of speaker than most at Republican gatherings where they just kind of go through a long list of everything wrong of what's happening in the country.
00:02:19.000And then they say, well, there's nothing we could do about it.
00:02:33.000We went to University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Baylor University, just spoke at University of Oregon, which was quite an experience.
00:02:41.000Spoke at University of Vermont, which was also something.
00:02:45.000And we're going to University of Alabama and Clemson later this week.
00:02:48.000And then we go to the University of Arizona after that.
00:02:52.000We're really in touch with the grassroots and kind of what's happening in the country in addition to our podcasts and radio that we're doing.
00:02:59.000And I could tell you that as we're traveling the country, I'll tell you kind of what happened at University of Oregon.
00:03:07.000I can't remember what day it is, as much as we're traveling.
00:03:10.000Five different venues canceled us when we were at University of Oregon.
00:03:15.000Five venues when we tried to do our event.
00:03:17.000And, you know, up against Antifa and all the left-wing activists that continually were coming up to Turning Point USA, and we were not even allowing us to host the event.
00:03:54.000And finally, we got our sixth venue in Eugene, Oregon, after five of them were canceled.
00:03:59.000And that's just a little bit of a microcosm, what we're dealing with, which is we're dealing with a left, a leftlist movement, a collectivist movement.
00:04:16.000Don't worry, the news gets better from that point forward.
00:04:18.000But when you try to do an event in Eugene, Oregon, and you have Antifa going around threatening maids and chefs and people that work at the hotels personally and following them home because we want to come talk about American exceptionalism, that should just take pause and say, wait a second, what country are we exactly living in?
00:04:35.000And so one thing that gives me hope is that I'm now seeing a conservative movement that understands the stakes of the game in front of us.
00:04:43.000I'm now seeing a conservative movement that understands we're not in some sort of long-form Socratic dialogue in a coffee shop of two sides that want exactly the same thing.
00:04:54.000And so I'm going to say a couple things tonight that will be in violation of establishment and Republican orthodoxy.
00:04:59.000And you guys can decide if you agree or disagree and want to have me back ever again.
00:05:02.000And so one of them is this, is that the moderates that run the Republican Party, many of which are gutless wonders, and they say, so I guess you agree with that.
00:05:14.000They say, we want the same thing that the Democrats want.
00:05:19.000We just have a different way of getting there.
00:05:21.000I'm sure all of you have heard this before, right?
00:06:07.000We believe a million abortions a year is a moral stain on our country and that we need to fight for life, especially the people that can't fight for themselves.
00:06:19.000They want a completely different America than we do.
00:06:22.000We don't believe we should shut down our country for a virus that has a 99.5% survival rate, nor do we believe that we should vaccinate five to 11-year-olds for a virus that has an almost immeasurable rate to kill these young children.
00:06:42.000And so what we need to start to recognize and realize is then people say, well, Charlie, why can't the country come together?
00:06:59.000I would much rather have clarity of what the left in this country believes and stands for and what we believe and stand for than this false moderation that has been plaguing our country for 40 years.
00:07:10.000And let me be very clear what I mean by that, is that for so long, we have had this kind of mindset in the Republican Party where we need to sue for peace and we need to go to the middle and they get everything they want, right?
00:07:26.000And instead, what we always should have been doing is we should have been dismissing them from the beginning.
00:07:31.000Say, wait a second, I don't, I reject the premise that somehow we need activist people on the courts or that the Second Amendment is null and void.
00:07:55.000They sit around and they're thinking, how can we shut you up?
00:07:58.000We're the ones saying, how can we actually liberate the conversation?
00:08:02.000And so, what I'm seeing, and this is a really good thing, and I don't see this from the politicians, by the way, in D.C. Most politicians we send to D.C., complete and total waste of time, right?
00:08:12.000And most of them say one thing, they do another, and they betray you, by the way.
00:08:18.000They take advantage of you and they send the same mailer over and over again, and they say, I'm pro-life, send me to D.C.
00:08:25.000And meanwhile, they go and cut deals with Nancy Pelosi for bipartisan infrastructure packages in the middle of the night.
00:08:30.000And meanwhile, if you kind of look at the trend, it's oh, wow, we as Republicans have been winning elections, maybe not in Colorado, but we've been losing our country.
00:08:39.000And what I'm seeing is a new mindset come into conservatives.
00:08:43.000And I want to kind of, I want to really put this in into focus, is all of a sudden that they are not going to stop until we realize this is no longer a debate and a discussion.
00:09:19.000And what I love about what this reporter, I actually want to thank the reporter that did this.
00:09:24.000She gave us a PG version to, it's the ultimate translator of an expletive failed rant into a way that we can now say it in churches, right, Pastor?
00:10:29.000And excuse this kind of graphic analogy, but this is a kamikaze presidency.
00:10:35.000Is that they are now looking at Joe Biden as the intermediary step to turn the page on the American way of life and usher in a globalist open border and a completely different way of governing the country.
00:10:51.000He is given the opportunity to do something that Obama never did.
00:10:54.000He can govern as harshly and as radically as he chooses without ever worrying about plummeting poll numbers.
00:11:01.000He's going to do what he wants regardless of what the founding fathers gave us as the ultimate check and balance, elections.
00:11:13.000But instead, the normal ways to get a president's attention, like a 32% approval rating in certain states, what is Joe Biden's approval rating here?
00:12:27.000on May 11th, not to mention how he has manufactured what I believe is one of the greatest injustices in American society in my lifetime.
00:12:34.000One of the greatest injustices is the fact that you are not even allowed to discuss or open your mouth, even mention ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, aspirin.
00:12:46.000And I tell you, and by the way, people have opinions on the vaccine.
00:12:52.000You guys can make your own decisions as you see fit, whatever.
00:12:56.000And the fact that the leave it up to the Republican Party to like mess up the easiest opportunity to win over black voters, right?
00:13:04.000So here you have 55% of blacks that don't want to get vaccinated.
00:13:07.000And the Republicans are the ones that are like, huh, maybe we should go do a press release at how wonderful the vaccine.
00:13:11.000I'm like, you have a wonderful opportunity.
00:13:13.000Anyway, that's typical Republican Party stuff, right?
00:13:16.000And so anyway, we have the one of the great injustices concocted by Fauci and that whole cartel of criminals running NIH and CDC was a clampdown on alternative measures, a pandemic of the untreated, not a pandemic of the unvaccinated, but a pandemic of not able to have early treatments.
00:13:35.000And so, but that's not even the biggest story.
00:13:39.000The biggest story in America was something that happened over a course of a couple days when the National School Board Association of America wrote a letter on a Friday evening equating parents that are showing up and complaining at school board meetings as domestic terrorists.
00:13:58.000The National School Board Association of America with 25 footnotes.
00:14:02.000Now, we do three hours of radio a day.
00:14:08.000I actually read the letter, something that the Attorney General of the United States actually did not care to do.
00:14:14.000When you read the letter, the 25 footnotes about the rising increase in violence against school board members, 20 out of 25 were prank calls, harassment, and school board members feeling uncomfortable because so many moms and dads were showing up to the meeting.
00:14:27.000The Nazi salute that they said was part of the National School Board Association letter was a Nazi salute done to mock the school board members saying that you guys are Nazis against our children because you want to mask them.
00:15:23.000Turning point USA school board watch list causing harm against school board members.
00:15:27.000Because we're publicizing what these maniacs are doing to your children and they're masking them, white privilege, critical race theory, diversity, equity, inclusion, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and transgender bathrooms.
00:15:43.000But then the amazing thing, the most important news story, four days later, when the Department of Justice and that craven old man who calls himself an attorney general, Merrick Garland, who's a sinister human being.
00:15:55.000I mean, this guy, imagine how bottom of the barrel you have to be when murders are up 30%, when you have law, I mean, you guys see crime in Colorado.
00:16:05.000It is going through the roof, especially in the Denver suburbs, to all of a sudden say, you know what, I'm going to go issue a memo.
00:16:11.000He writes a letter ordering the FBI, the DOJ, and the DHS to have a coalition to come together to go spy on you and you and you and you because you complain at school board meetings.
00:16:23.000to go use police power and the shock troops against all of you.
00:16:27.000And what was so amazing as this unfolded was a couple things.
00:16:31.000First of all, there's a reason why they did that.
00:16:35.000They did that because the Democrat consultants who are actually worth anything, they pulled a fire alarm.
00:16:43.000And they said, we are going to lose Virginia if we don't keep these moms and dads at home.
00:16:48.000Now, instead of actually, I don't know, improving our schools and doing what they're supposed to do, what's the default position of the Democrat Party?
00:16:55.000Let's go send the FBI after them, right?
00:16:58.000Same thing they did with Trump, right?
00:16:59.000When they entrapped Michael Flynn and they entrapped his entire team.
00:17:03.000And what happened in the days after should give every single one of you hope is that for the first time in the 10 years I've been doing this, the conservative grassroots across America, they said, oh, Merrick Garland, you say I can't show up.
00:17:37.000Let's talk about another deep blue state with very similar demographics of income and just kind of political perspectives, and that's Virginia.
00:17:46.000Virginia, I would have said a year ago, has a far less likelihood of ever turning into a red state versus Colorado.
00:17:55.000If I had to place a bet, I would say Virginia, no way.
00:17:58.000The wealthiest counties in America are the suburbs of Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax County.
00:18:03.000Now, you might say, well, what products do they create in Northern Virginia?
00:18:09.000They take your money as taxpayer money.
00:18:12.000They launder it back and hire themselves as lobbyists and defense contractors and pharmaceutical employees.
00:18:18.000And then they call themselves business people because they live outside of D.C. because they're close to the $4 trillion that our country takes from you every single year.
00:18:26.000Unlike you guys in Colorado, you actually build stuff here in the state.
00:18:30.000So you guys earn your money, unlike, you know, the kingdom of Washington, D.C., that takes your money forcibly at gunpoint and then goes builds.
00:18:39.000I don't ever been to Northern Virginia lately.
00:18:44.000I mean, they have a Dolce and Gabbana store next to a Hermes store.
00:18:48.000I mean, like, you're talking about like the streets of Paris have moved in to Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:18:53.000And that should tell you everything you need to know about the state of affairs in our country, where the wealthiest counties in America used to be around Philadelphia, Chicago, and Detroit.
00:19:02.000And now the wealthiest counties are around Washington, D.C.
00:19:05.000Now, you guys have some of the wealthiest areas in America too.
00:19:08.000Some of the most flourishing, economically productive areas in the entire country.
00:19:14.000Virginia seemed to be deep blue, unable to be moved, no questions asked.
00:19:20.000Well, one of the fathers that was mentioned in the National School Board Association letter, he showed up in May.
00:19:26.000He showed up at a school board meeting.
00:19:28.000He had never showed up at a school board meeting before.
00:19:30.000He was just a regular dad, blue-collar guy, middle-class worker, earning $80,000 a year, just trying to do his job.
00:19:38.000But he showed up to that school board meeting for a reason.
00:19:40.000And he was, excuse my language, pissed.
00:19:42.000And you'll understand why I use that word in a second.
00:19:45.000He showed up at that school board meeting because his daughter was just raped in a bathroom by a man who called himself a woman because of transgender policy.
00:19:53.000And that's what they were debating that night at the Loudoun County schools.
00:19:56.000So he shows up and a transgender agitator gets in his face.
00:20:00.000He gets a little heated and they arrest him for disorderly conduct.
00:20:04.000Meanwhile, he keeps on screaming, my daughter was just raped, they're lying, my daughter was just raped, they're lying.
00:20:09.000They arrest him and get him out of the building.
00:20:11.000They have a whole conversation at the Loudoun County schools in Virginia around transgender bathrooms.
00:20:16.000This is late May of this couple months ago.
00:20:17.000The superintendent of schools, this guy named Ziegler, who's a criminal who should be in prison, said, quote, we have no incidents of sexual assault to report.
00:20:26.000Transgender bathrooms are wonderful for tolerance and for equity and for inclusion.
00:20:39.000You might say, how could that get worse?
00:20:41.000So then the school board met privately and they moved the rapist to another school and he raped again.
00:20:49.000Two young girls were sodomized in transgender bathrooms in Loudoun County schools and the school board covered it up.
00:20:56.000Now, Terry McAuliffe, who's running for governor of Virginia a couple weeks ago, said that parents should have no say in a child's education.
00:21:04.000Who are parents to say that you have a say in your child's education?
00:21:08.000Randy Whitegarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, the second largest teacher union in the country alongside the National Education Association, came out and she said, quote, she said that parents think they have a say in children education.
00:21:25.000Now, Democrats, this is one of the reasons why I think we're going to win, is that, you know, they start making gains with suburban women because they've been propagandized to hate Donald Trump.
00:21:35.000And the one thing they decide to all of a sudden screw up is, oh, you know what?
00:21:39.000You actually have no say in your kids' education.
00:21:41.000Just drop them off at the school and don't say anything.
00:21:44.000Well, I'm telling you right now, we don't know what's going to happen in Virginia.
00:21:46.000I'm not in the prediction business, and you better believe there'll be tomfoolery and shenanigans and all sorts of ballots going all over the place, right?
00:21:54.000But the latest poll shows Republican challenger up eight points and then up three points.
00:21:58.000Virginia, deep blue state, everybody, is now a battleground state.
00:22:04.000And so now we need to ask ourselves the question, why?
00:22:08.000Yunkin was running the most boring campaign in the history of the planet until July.
00:22:13.000You guys know the type of Republican I'm talking about, right?
00:22:16.000Walking on eggshells, politically correct, Mitt Romney 2.0, right?
00:23:24.000It's because you have a Republican that's finally been willing to talk about the issues that matter, to finally be able to say, these are the type of things we need to run on.
00:25:05.000We know this is a 40-year to 50-year project, and we want to be told the truth by our politicians.
00:25:10.000So instead, why don't our politicians say, Hey, we're going to promise you something we can actually do?
00:25:16.000So, Republicans need to run on four major things.
00:25:19.000It's this simple: number one, they can get this done.
00:25:22.000Day one of Republicans taking back the house, we will do a new commission and a special prosecutor into Anthony Fauci and NIH and CDC and tell you where this virus came from and China's involvement in creating the virus and gain of function research funded by our own government.
00:25:39.000That's number one: that we need to empower you and you and you to have the information to know what's happened.
00:25:44.000You want to say, Charlie, how do we take the country back?
00:25:46.000First, we have to prove to our fellow voters and countrymen how corrupt this actually is.
00:26:00.000And this tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats.
00:26:02.000They have a special commission into January 6th.
00:26:06.000They don't have a special commission as something that's killed 700,000 Americans.
00:26:10.000They don't have a special commission into our own government's funding of the virus, which the NIH was involved in gain of function research.
00:26:17.000We need a non-stop hearing blitz of every single deep state medical practitioner that was involved in every that changed all of your life.
00:26:26.000And I'm going to say something that's controversial, but this virus and our incredibly immature and imprudent reaction to it changed our country more than 9-11.
00:27:24.000You're going to have to pay us a couple trillion dollars in reparations now, China, and no more buying up our farmland and no more dumping products in our country.
00:27:37.000Number two, that every Republican needs to run on in 2022 is they have to say, elect us and give us the House of Representatives back, and we are going to find out the truth of what happened in the 2020 election.
00:27:49.000We are going to get to the bottom of what happened in the 2020 election.
00:27:53.000From Mark Zuckerberg's $420 million to Facebook and Twitter not allowing the Hunter Biden story to be shared in the month of October.
00:28:03.000There needs to be a special commission report of all the different dynamics that were at play in the 2020 election.
00:28:10.000Now they say, man, there's no evidence.
00:28:30.000So widespread and fraud are two totally different things.
00:28:32.000So all of a sudden they now have new indictments in Wisconsin of people that go to nursing homes and turn in ballots fraudulently.
00:28:38.000We have evidence in Nevada of the Nevada Native Voting Project that fraudulently paid people for votes, not to mention how Georgia went from 248,000 mail-in ballots to 1.2 million mail-in ballots.
00:28:49.000Now, I'm going to say something that might be totally unpopular, but you got to dream big.
00:28:52.000You guys got to get rid of mail-in voting here in Colorado.
00:29:20.000Number three, when Republicans take back the House of Representatives, we need a special commission subpoenas.
00:29:25.000We need Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin under oath to find out who gave orders when to give $85 billion to the Taliban, give up Bagram Air Base, and give up what we did in Afghanistan over to our enemy.
00:29:37.000We need answers now, and people need to go to jail for what happened in Afghanistan.
00:29:45.000Now, you might see a common theme between all of this.
00:29:49.000We need people to run for Congress and not give you false hope.
00:29:58.000You're not going to get rid of the FBI.
00:30:00.000You're not getting rid of the Department of Education.
00:30:01.000What you can do, though, is you can offer within one year of being in Congress the most conclusive, multi-topic report of how our government has been run by a group of private and public interests working against you, whether it be the virus, the lockdown, the vaccine, masks, Afghanistan, arming the Taliban, the 2020 election.
00:30:20.000And all of a sudden, you start feeding this information.
00:30:22.000You want to build a grassroots movement where next time we can have 6,000 people in a room like this, show them how corrupt this actually is.
00:30:35.000It's not happening through our journalists, obviously.
00:30:37.000It's not happening through media, but Congress can do that, and Congress needs to do that.
00:30:41.000The fourth thing, if I had to have a fourth one on, is we need to know the extent and the detail.
00:30:45.000And all I have to say is Tucker Carlson has a big week coming up to the extent and the detail of the federal government's involvement on January the 6th.
00:30:53.000We need to know exactly what happened, how involved they were.
00:31:10.000How do we give those people the confidence to show up?
00:31:12.000When you say, look, I'm going to level with you.
00:31:15.000Day one, we're going to start to get answers that you deserve.
00:31:18.000We're going to start to do criminal referrals that you deserve on this.
00:31:21.000And what's so amazing is that these people have actually thought they would be infinitely untouchable.
00:31:27.000Fauci is not prepared for this, everybody.
00:31:29.000Now, Fauci, some of you might say, Charlie, you know, it's unfair to pick on Fauci.
00:31:33.000I don't know who would say that, honestly, but he's the highest paid employee of the federal government and controls tens of billions of dollars in research funding.
00:31:41.000Fauci is the embodiment of every reason we lost the country.
00:31:59.000He doesn't have to show up to Lincoln Reagan Dave dinners and give you an update from DC.
00:32:03.000No, he's unelected, unaccountable, and was largely unknown until the Fauci virus actually came.
00:32:09.000And because it's his virus, because of the funding behind it.
00:32:12.000And so when you are able to start to make arguments and prove to other people, that's when things can actually start to change.
00:32:20.000And so as we think more broadly here, and I have a couple of other thoughts, and here's the really good news of what's happening, is that the conservative movement that I grew up in was a very fragile movement.
00:32:33.000It was a movement that was afraid to offend other people.
00:32:36.000It was a movement that was afraid to be called racist all the time.
00:32:40.000Now, I always have to say this, because I'm sure some intern at the Denver Post is here trying to write an article about me.
00:33:06.000But we have a supply and demand issue with racism in our country.
00:33:10.000We have such a low supply of racist incidents and racism that a failed B-rate actor named Jussie Smollett has to fake hate crimes to try to prove to us how racist we actually are.
00:33:22.000We have such a low supply of racists in America, as was said earlier, that the Democrat operatives in Virginia have to go show up with tiki torches to go pretend to be racist to try to prove a point of how racist we actually are.
00:33:36.000And so I think we're starting to see a new conservative movement that is starting to say, you can call me whatever you want.
00:33:45.000You can not invite me to your social circle or whatever.
00:33:48.000Like, I'm on a mission and we're going to take back the country.
00:33:52.000And your insults and your pejoratives and your mockery and your ridicule, it might have worked when it was a Mitt Romney, John McCain party, but it's not going to work anymore.
00:34:28.000The opposite, though, is a term coined by a guy by name, Nassim Taleb, where he said, what do you call an organization or a movement that gets stronger the more stress and attack you actually throw at it?
00:34:41.000What do you call a movement that the more you actually try to destroy it, the stronger it gets?
00:34:48.000And they say some churches, not the woke churches, we could talk about that later.
00:35:55.000You know, let's just have a nice time.
00:35:57.000And instead, what happened, and miraculously, and I think largely thanks to the leadership of Donald Trump and his legacy of fighting and saying that we can turn things around, is that after January and Biden getting implemented, all of a sudden we saw a movement that activated in a way that grew stronger the more that they tried to attack us.
00:36:20.000You understand, and this is a very important point.
00:36:22.000I believe the current ruling class and the current Democrat and Republic ruling class, you get that?
00:36:37.000They thought that they could intimidate you, call you domestic terrorists, that they could spy on you like they did with Tucker Carlson, and that we would get afraid.
00:36:47.000They thought they'd say, okay, enough.
00:36:49.000They thought around May, we'd say, all right, you know what?
00:36:52.000Let's have Liz Cheney run our party, right?
00:36:54.000Let's just, let's just do that, which, by the way, what an awful excuse for a representative, Liz Cheney.
00:37:31.000And we knew at our core, because we have prudence and common sense, unlike so many of our leaders, that if we don't do something, this thing's going to fall apart.
00:37:40.000And what happened in the last nine months, I want to compliment all of you.
00:37:44.000I want to encourage all of you, is nothing short of inexplicable because Zuckerberg and Bezos and Pelosi and Schumer, they thought they could carpet bomb you into submission and you would stop showing up.
00:37:57.000But instead, city councils were taken over.
00:37:59.000Instead, we have a Republican mayor in McCallan, Texas, which is the first Republican to be elected since 1926.
00:38:04.000Instead, we are seeing a massive reaction.
00:38:07.000For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction in a way that is profound.
00:38:11.000And it's something that is going to all of a sudden give the playbook for how we are going to take back this country.
00:38:16.000And so that is an anti-fragile movement.
00:38:21.000That's an anti-fragile movement that the more they attack us, the more that they come after us, the stronger we actually become.
00:38:28.000Because here's where it is, everybody.
00:38:37.000But they're afraid of common everyday Americans rising up and taking back positions in local government, taking back positions in school board, taking back positions in city council and city council races.
00:41:31.000The people that have had 30 to 40 year careers that are now walking away from a well-paying job because they don't want to take a vaccine, you are heroes in my book.
00:42:17.000And we need more people that are willing to all of a sudden put their own personal satisfaction, you know, aside and be willing to have kind of a broader and bigger picture to try to shoot for.
00:42:30.000So the third thing that we have to do, which you're already doing, and I was talking to my good friend Heidi earlier about this, who I know is running for governor.
00:42:36.000I know I'm not supposed to endorse anyone.
00:42:49.000And she actually spoke at our turning point events a couple of years ago.
00:42:52.000We were talking about this before, which is that we need to all of a sudden go from the exact opposite of how we viewed politics, which is from the bottom up, not from the top down, right?
00:43:03.000Which is that everything, you need to focus on buildings you drive by every single day.
00:43:11.000I know this has been a repeating theme of my speech, but repetition is the soul of memory, everybody, which is that if you really want to start to make that substantive change, you guys have elections coming up Tuesday, which are going to matter a lot for that.
00:43:22.000And, you know, in the final push, you guys can make a difference for that.
00:43:50.000We get all the most wonderful death threats you can imagine.
00:43:53.000I'm not complaining, by the way, because I am the happiest person in the world because I know I get to wake up every single day and make a difference in my country and not have to be a spectator, right?
00:44:01.000And so, but here's my challenge for you: which is, regardless of where you sit in your living room or the type of drink that you sip when you watch the Denver Broncos, it has no bearing on the impact of the game.
00:45:00.000In politics, it's more than just cheering from the sidelines, which goes to the thing that bothers me the most when people ask me, hey, Charlie, how's it going out there?
00:45:08.000And I look to them, I was like, what am I?
00:45:10.000Like a running back for the Arizona Cardinals or something?
00:45:13.000I say, how's it going with you out there?
00:45:46.000But the cynics in Virginia, all of a sudden, are like, oh, yeah, we believe this the entire time.
00:45:51.000And those of you that are holding the foundation together, this state is way more conservative than is reflected in a lot of the Democrat trends that happen in statewide elections.
00:46:03.000Is that I will be far from calling your statewide officials moderates, but my goodness, your Democrats elected at statewide officials here in Colorado, in comparison, yeah, I know, are moderates compared to some of the other Democrats like J.B. Pritzker or Gavin Newsom or, you know, or I guess Andrew Cuomo is no longer a governor.
00:46:22.000That's another, that's actually a really nice thing to think about.
00:46:26.000And so what we're doing on the campus is what you guys are doing out there is going to make a major difference.
00:47:13.000You go home and you're like, I don't have to do anything because Charlie says we're going to win.
00:47:17.000And if I say, no, I think we're going to lose, you go home, you're like, yeah, I'm not going to do anything because Charlie said we're going to lose.
00:47:22.000There's no good way I can answer that question.
00:48:17.000When Winston Churchill walked in, Pearl Harbor, he walked into the War Cabinet meeting with a cigar and a thing of whiskey and a smile a mile wide.
00:48:25.000His war cabinet was sullen, downtrodden, with low morale.
00:48:29.000At 7 o'clock in the morning, he walks in and he says, we have won the war.
00:48:36.000And his war cabinet looks around and says, what do you mean we've won the war?
00:48:39.000And he says it again, we have won the war.
00:48:43.000And his one brave soul in the war cabinet challenged the prime minister.
00:48:46.000He says, what do you mean we've won the war?
