00:00:54.000 Buckle up. 0.96

00:00:55.000 Here we go.

00:00:56.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:58.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:03.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:06.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:07.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:08.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:10.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:15.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:17.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:26.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:29.000 What a great event this is.

00:01:31.000 I love Colorado.

00:01:32.000 And I was just catching up with all my new friends about how I don't visit Colorado more often.

00:01:32.000 This is awesome.

00:01:38.000 So we're going to be coming back and doing all sorts of things.

00:01:40.000 And last night we had an amazing event at a church in Denver.

00:01:44.000 We had, I think, over 3,000 people there yesterday.

00:01:47.000 It was unbelievable.

00:01:48.000 And so I'm so excited to share this with you tonight.

00:01:50.000 We have a lot to talk about.

00:01:52.000 I just want to thank the organizers of this wonderful event.

00:01:55.000 Grassroots politics is everything.

00:01:56.000 If we're going to take back our country, it has to start from the bottom up, not the top down.

00:02:00.000 So I just want to thank the organizers of this event that have done a phenomenal job.

00:02:05.000 So there's a lot I want to talk about tonight.

00:02:08.000 I actually have some really good news to share.

00:02:10.000 So 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.

00:02:19.000 And then they say, well, there's nothing we could do about it.

00:02:21.000 You know, goodbye.

00:02:22.000 I actually have some really good news to share tonight.

00:02:24.000 And I want to talk about why and then what you can do about it to kind of accelerate that trend.

00:02:31.000 I'm traveling the country right now.

00:02:32.000 We're on campus tour.

00:02:33.000 We went to University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Baylor University, just spoke at University of Oregon, which was quite an experience.

00:02:41.000 Spoke at University of Vermont, which was also something.

00:02:45.000 And we're going to University of Alabama and Clemson later this week.

00:02:48.000 And then we go to the University of Arizona after that.

00:02:50.000 We give over 330 speeches a year.

00:02:52.000 We'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.

00:02:59.000 And I could tell you that as we're traveling the country, I'll tell you kind of what happened at University of Oregon.

00:03:03.000 It was really interesting.

00:03:05.000 That was a couple days ago.

00:03:07.000 I can't remember what day it is, as much as we're traveling.

00:03:10.000 Five different venues canceled us when we were at University of Oregon.

00:03:15.000 Five venues when we tried to do our event.

00:03:17.000 And, 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.

00:03:26.000 And our staff is pretty incredible.

00:03:27.000 I want to also point out all of our Turning Point USA students.

00:03:30.000 Raise your hand if you're here.

00:03:31.000 You're part with Turning Point USA.

00:03:33.000 They got to give you better seats.

00:03:34.000 I got to tell you.

00:03:35.000 I mean, come on.

00:03:36.000 But they're all the way out there and basically Boulder out there.

00:03:43.000 Thank you guys for being here.

00:03:45.000 And Colorado State Chapter, is that right?

00:03:47.000 Is that who's here tonight?

00:03:49.000 You guys do a wonderful job.

00:03:50.000 So thank you.

00:03:54.000 And finally, we got our sixth venue in Eugene, Oregon, after five of them were canceled.

00:03:59.000 And 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.

00:04:07.000 It's not about disagreement.

00:04:09.000 The state of affairs right now in our country is not the country many of you grew up in.

00:04:13.000 That country is dead.

00:04:16.000 Don't worry, the news gets better from that point forward.

00:04:18.000 But 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?

00:04:35.000 And 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.

00:04:43.000 I'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.

00:04:54.000 And so I'm going to say a couple things tonight that will be in violation of establishment and Republican orthodoxy.

00:04:59.000 And you guys can decide if you agree or disagree and want to have me back ever again.

00:05:02.000 And 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.

00:05:14.000 They say, we want the same thing that the Democrats want.

00:05:19.000 We just have a different way of getting there.

00:05:21.000 I'm sure all of you have heard this before, right?

00:05:23.000 We all want the same thing.

00:05:26.000 We just have a different kind of navigational path.

00:05:30.000 Nothing could be further from the truth.

00:05:32.000 We want to go north.

00:05:33.000 They want to go south.

00:05:34.000 We believe only women can get pregnant. 1.00

00:05:37.000 They believe men can become pregnant.

00:05:38.000 Let's just stop there.

00:05:40.000 Where's the negotiating space there?

00:05:43.000 Where's the middle ground?

00:05:45.000 They believe the Constitution is a barrier to their power grab.

00:05:50.000 We believe the Constitution is the greatest political document ever written.

00:05:58.000 They want to tear down Mount Rushmore.

00:06:00.000 We want to teach our children about Mount Rushmore.

00:06:02.000 They think a million abortions a year is just fine. 1.00

00:06:05.000 They want to increase that number.

00:06:07.000 We 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. 1.00

00:06:19.000 They want a completely different America than we do.

00:06:22.000 We 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.

00:06:42.000 And so what we need to start to recognize and realize is then people say, well, Charlie, why can't the country come together?

00:06:48.000 Right?

00:06:48.000 I hear this all the time.

00:06:49.000 Charlie, we're so divided.

00:06:51.000 Everything is one side or the other.

00:06:53.000 And I say, it's about time we know where everyone stands.

00:06:57.000 It's about time we have some clarity.

00:06:59.000 I 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.

00:07:10.000 And 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?

00:07:26.000 And instead, what we always should have been doing is we should have been dismissing them from the beginning.

00:07:31.000 Say, 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.

00:07:41.000 And so some of this is temperamental.

00:07:44.000 Republicans, we tend to be kind of more, we try to build bridges.

00:07:49.000 We try to find the other side.

00:07:50.000 We're the only ones, by the way, that care about freedom of speech.

00:07:53.000 You understand that.

00:07:53.000 We're the only ones.

00:07:55.000 They sit around and they're thinking, how can we shut you up?

00:07:58.000 We're the ones saying, how can we actually liberate the conversation?

00:08:02.000 And 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?

00:08:12.000 And most of them say one thing, they do another, and they betray you, by the way.

00:08:18.000 They 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.

00:08:25.000 And meanwhile, they go and cut deals with Nancy Pelosi for bipartisan infrastructure packages in the middle of the night.

00:08:30.000 And 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.

00:08:39.000 And what I'm seeing is a new mindset come into conservatives.

00:08:43.000 And 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.

00:08:55.000 This is a power play.

00:08:57.000 It's that simple.

00:08:58.000 And so what we have is we have a regime in charge of, I could summarize it very simply, okay?

00:09:08.000 Let's go, Brandon.

00:09:08.000 That's all I have to say.

00:09:10.000 And right?

00:09:15.000 Let's go, Brandon.

00:09:19.000 And what I love about what this reporter, I actually want to thank the reporter that did this.

00:09:24.000 She 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?

00:09:33.000 We could say it everywhere, right?

00:09:35.000 We want the young man Brandon to win.

00:09:38.000 CIC, let's go, Brandon shirt right there.

00:09:40.000 And so, but this is a really important thing, which is the regime in charge, this tells you everything you need to know about them.

00:09:48.000 The southern border is wide open.

00:09:50.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:09:51.000 Inflation is kicking in.

00:09:53.000 We gave $85 billion of weapons to the Taliban.

00:09:56.000 Are you kidding me?

00:09:57.000 We're letting China do whatever they want. 0.99

00:09:59.000 And usually, when poll numbers go down, usually a president has like a timeout, like a cooling off period, right?

00:10:06.000 They'll do like Kids with Cancer Day or like they'll bring in the Olympic athletes.

00:10:11.000 This regime is accelerating their unpopular, sinister, anti-American policies.

00:10:18.000 And we need to ask ourselves the question: why?

00:10:20.000 Well, I don't have any like super insight into this, but it's rather obvious.

00:10:25.000 They have no plan to ever run Joe Biden for the presidency again.

00:10:28.000 It's that simple.

00:10:29.000 And excuse this kind of graphic analogy, but this is a kamikaze presidency.

00:10:35.000 Is 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.

00:10:51.000 He is given the opportunity to do something that Obama never did.

00:10:54.000 He can govern as harshly and as radically as he chooses without ever worrying about plummeting poll numbers.

00:11:01.000 He's going to do what he wants regardless of what the founding fathers gave us as the ultimate check and balance, elections.

00:11:08.000 He does not care.

00:11:10.000 Now, that's not to say there's no way to hold them accountable.

00:11:12.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:11:13.000 But 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?

00:11:22.000 40%, more or less?

00:11:24.000 I know what you're thinking.

00:11:25.000 Who are those 40% people? 0.98

00:11:26.000 Like, what are they looking at?

00:11:28.000 What news are they consuming?

00:11:31.000 What exactly are they enjoying that they're seeing?

00:11:33.000 The 30% increase in murder rates, the fact that you can't build supplies.

00:11:37.000 But I have some good news, everybody.

00:11:39.000 Joe Biden finally got a boat parade off of Long Beach, California.

00:11:42.000 He finally got a boat parade and he's been waiting for it for a long time.

00:11:45.000 You see, that joke works better in Florida because they have boat parades.

00:11:48.000 I don't know if you guys have boat parades here, but you do?

00:11:50.000 You have plenty of boat parades?

00:11:52.000 That's good.

00:11:54.000 For some people, it just goes right over their head.

00:11:55.000 The point is this: We now need to employ different tactics and measures to hold this regime accountable and to take back the country.

00:12:06.000 So let me tell you, there's a lot of things I want to talk about.

00:12:09.000 Let me tell you the most important news story in the last six weeks.

00:12:12.000 The most important news story in the last six weeks was not that Fauci lied in front of Congress.

00:12:17.000 By the way, Fauci should be in prison for what he has done to our country.

00:12:22.000 He should be locked up for what he has done to our country.

00:12:25.000 He lied to Congress under oath.

00:12:27.000 on May 11th, not to mention how he has manufactured what I believe is one of the greatest injustices in American society in my lifetime.

00:12:34.000 One 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.

00:12:46.000 And I tell you, and by the way, people have opinions on the vaccine.

00:12:50.000 That's fine.

00:12:51.000 I'm not getting vaccinated.

00:12:52.000 You guys can make your own decisions as you see fit, whatever.

00:12:56.000 And the fact that the leave it up to the Republican Party to like mess up the easiest opportunity to win over black voters, right?

00:13:04.000 So here you have 55% of blacks that don't want to get vaccinated. 0.71

00:13:07.000 And the Republicans are the ones that are like, huh, maybe we should go do a press release at how wonderful the vaccine.

00:13:11.000 I'm like, you have a wonderful opportunity.

00:13:13.000 Anyway, that's typical Republican Party stuff, right?

00:13:16.000 And 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.

00:13:35.000 And so, but that's not even the biggest story.

00:13:39.000 The 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.

00:13:58.000 The National School Board Association of America with 25 footnotes.

00:14:02.000 Now, we do three hours of radio a day.

00:14:06.000 We do two podcasts a day.

00:14:08.000 I actually read the letter, something that the Attorney General of the United States actually did not care to do.

00:14:14.000 When 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.

00:14:27.000 The 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.

00:14:38.000 Not a pro-Nazi thing.

00:14:39.000 The four remaining things, as they say, was violence against school board members.

00:14:43.000 One of them, I'll get to in a second, was a father showing up for disorderly conduct at Loudoun County school boards.

00:14:49.000 We'll get to there because that's a very important thing.

00:14:52.000 And the three other ones were disagreements in parking lots between other parents.

00:14:56.000 So the National School Board Association, and by the way, oh yeah, the 26th one was Turning Point USA School Board Watchlist.

00:15:01.000 I was so proud to see that.

00:15:03.000 It was a crowning achievement.

00:15:04.000 We made it, everybody.

00:15:05.000 The Federal Bureau of Investigation thinks we're a problem.

00:15:08.000 It's a beautiful thing.

00:15:09.000 When I saw that, I told my team, you could have Monday off.

00:15:12.000 You've done it.

00:15:14.000 You have officially done something so incredibly effective that the other side needs to use the Patriot Act against us.

00:15:21.000 It's just, it's phenomenal.

00:15:22.000 And it's true. 0.56

00:15:23.000 Turning point USA school board watch list causing harm against school board members.

00:15:27.000 Because 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. 0.94

00:15:27.000 Yeah, right, sure. 0.94

00:15:39.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:15:40.000 Somehow we're the problem.

00:15:40.000 Again, we're not faced by that.

00:15:42.000 It's part of what we do.

00:15:43.000 But 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.

00:15:55.000 I 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.

00:16:05.000 It 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.

00:16:11.000 He 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.

00:16:23.000 to go use police power and the shock troops against all of you.

00:16:27.000 And what was so amazing as this unfolded was a couple things.

00:16:31.000 First of all, there's a reason why they did that.

00:16:35.000 They did that because the Democrat consultants who are actually worth anything, they pulled a fire alarm.

00:16:43.000 And they said, we are going to lose Virginia if we don't keep these moms and dads at home. 1.00

00:16:48.000 Now, 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?

00:16:55.000 Let's go send the FBI after them, right?

00:16:58.000 Same thing they did with Trump, right?

00:16:59.000 When they entrapped Michael Flynn and they entrapped his entire team.

00:17:03.000 And 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.

00:17:15.000 I'm now going to bring 10 friends.

00:17:16.000 And the school board meetings had more people than ever before showed up all across the country.

00:17:22.000 And so Tuesday's a big day.

00:17:28.000 A lot of you think Colorado is a deep blue state.

00:17:33.000 A lot of you say, we can't win this back.

00:17:35.000 Let's take a pause.

00:17:37.000 Let's talk about another deep blue state with very similar demographics of income and just kind of political perspectives, and that's Virginia.

00:17:46.000 Virginia, I would have said a year ago, has a far less likelihood of ever turning into a red state versus Colorado.

00:17:55.000 If I had to place a bet, I would say Virginia, no way.

00:17:58.000 The wealthiest counties in America are the suburbs of Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax County.

00:18:03.000 Now, you might say, well, what products do they create in Northern Virginia?

00:18:07.000 Nothing.

00:18:08.000 It's the greatest scam of all time.

00:18:09.000 They take your money as taxpayer money.

00:18:12.000 They launder it back and hire themselves as lobbyists and defense contractors and pharmaceutical employees.

00:18:18.000 And 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.

00:18:26.000 Unlike you guys in Colorado, you actually build stuff here in the state.

00:18:29.000 You have real businesses.

00:18:30.000 So 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.

00:18:39.000 I don't ever been to Northern Virginia lately.

00:18:41.000 I drove through Fairfax County.

00:18:44.000 I mean, they have a Dolce and Gabbana store next to a Hermes store.

00:18:48.000 I mean, like, you're talking about like the streets of Paris have moved in to Loudoun County, Virginia.

00:18:53.000 And 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.

00:19:02.000 And now the wealthiest counties are around Washington, D.C.

00:19:05.000 Now, you guys have some of the wealthiest areas in America too.

00:19:08.000 Some of the most flourishing, economically productive areas in the entire country.

00:19:12.000 And so it's very similar.

00:19:14.000 Virginia seemed to be deep blue, unable to be moved, no questions asked. 0.85

00:19:20.000 Well, one of the fathers that was mentioned in the National School Board Association letter, he showed up in May.

00:19:26.000 He showed up at a school board meeting.

00:19:28.000 He had never showed up at a school board meeting before.

00:19:30.000 He was just a regular dad, blue-collar guy, middle-class worker, earning $80,000 a year, just trying to do his job.

00:19:38.000 But he showed up to that school board meeting for a reason.

00:19:40.000 And he was, excuse my language, pissed.

00:19:42.000 And you'll understand why I use that word in a second. 0.98

00:19:45.000 He 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.

00:19:53.000 And that's what they were debating that night at the Loudoun County schools. 0.97

00:19:56.000 So he shows up and a transgender agitator gets in his face. 0.95

00:20:00.000 He gets a little heated and they arrest him for disorderly conduct. 1.00

00:20:04.000 Meanwhile, he keeps on screaming, my daughter was just raped, they're lying, my daughter was just raped, they're lying. 0.97

00:20:09.000 They arrest him and get him out of the building. 0.99

00:20:11.000 They have a whole conversation at the Loudoun County schools in Virginia around transgender bathrooms.

00:20:16.000 This is late May of this couple months ago.

00:20:17.000 The 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.

00:20:26.000 Transgender bathrooms are wonderful for tolerance and for equity and for inclusion.

00:20:30.000 We are going to continue this. 0.97

00:20:32.000 He lied under oath in front of the school board meeting in front of all the parents after the father whose daughter was just raped. 0.95

00:20:38.000 Then it gets worse. 0.77

00:20:39.000 You might say, how could that get worse? 0.98

00:20:41.000 So then the school board met privately and they moved the rapist to another school and he raped again. 0.98

00:20:49.000 Two young girls were sodomized in transgender bathrooms in Loudoun County schools and the school board covered it up.

00:20:56.000 Now, 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.

00:21:04.000 Who are parents to say that you have a say in your child's education?

00:21:08.000 Randy 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.

00:21:22.000 They're wrong.

00:21:23.000 Front page of the Washington Post.

00:21:25.000 Now, 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. 0.74

00:21:35.000 And the one thing they decide to all of a sudden screw up is, oh, you know what?

00:21:39.000 You actually have no say in your kids' education.

00:21:41.000 Just drop them off at the school and don't say anything.

00:21:44.000 Well, I'm telling you right now, we don't know what's going to happen in Virginia.

00:21:46.000 I'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?

00:21:54.000 But the latest poll shows Republican challenger up eight points and then up three points.

00:21:58.000 Virginia, deep blue state, everybody, is now a battleground state.

00:22:04.000 And so now we need to ask ourselves the question, why?

00:22:08.000 Yunkin was running the most boring campaign in the history of the planet until July.

00:22:13.000 You guys know the type of Republican I'm talking about, right?

00:22:16.000 Walking on eggshells, politically correct, Mitt Romney 2.0, right?

00:22:21.000 Super boring.

00:22:23.000 Like, elect me because I am like the better job creator guy.

00:22:27.000 And trust me, I'm not a racist.

00:22:28.000 Please, please, please don't call me that.

00:22:30.000 Like endless apology, like the lower property tax guy.

00:22:33.000 By the way, I love the lower property tax thing.

00:22:35.000 That's not going to motivate huge blocks.

00:22:37.000 You know what motivates people?

00:22:38.000 All of a sudden, Yunkin, when he was 12 points down in the polls in August, said, I'm going to ban critical race theory.

00:22:43.000 I'm not going to have masks on our children anymore.

00:22:45.000 I'm going to do a criminal investigation when I'm governor into the Loudoun County schools.

00:22:48.000 And like that, the race started to change.

00:22:50.000 People started to show up.

00:22:51.000 And this right here shows that the Republican orthodoxy that we have been living under is a lie.

00:22:58.000 It's like, don't offend your voters.

00:23:00.000 Don't do anything too controversial.

00:23:02.000 Instead, you have to find issues, wedge issues that we are good at.

00:23:05.000 Here are some of them.

00:23:06.000 Crime, homelessness, schools, children, like basic issues.

00:23:12.000 And instead, we've kind of believed that, well, we have to just kind of run to the middle and win these moderates over.

00:23:17.000 You go look at Yunkin's rallies.

00:23:19.000 You have Democrats that are showing up that hated Donald Trump that are all of a sudden animated by this.

00:23:23.000 Why?

00:23:24.000 It'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.

00:23:31.000 So we'll see what happens Tuesday.

00:23:33.000 But the most important issue, so then, but let me connect the two.

00:23:37.000 The most important news story is how the regime, how seriously the regime took you guys showing up to school board meetings.

00:23:46.000 This is the great threat to their power because this cuts through every other issue they've ever seen.

00:23:52.000 This is a more powerful movement than the Tea Party movement.

00:23:55.000 I lived through the Tea Party movement in 2010, right up close and personal.

00:23:58.000 I cut my political teeth in the Tea Party movement.

00:24:01.000 This is organic.

00:24:02.000 It's authentic.

00:24:03.000 It's robust.

00:24:04.000 It doesn't really have a leader, so it's impossible to kind of take it out.

00:24:07.000 And everyone is saying the same thing.

00:24:09.000 I'm traveling the country.

00:24:10.000 I was just in Seattle.

00:24:11.000 I was in Boise.

00:24:12.000 We were in Chicago.

00:24:13.000 We were in New York.

00:24:13.000 And this is happening organically, everybody, where all of a sudden people are saying, I'm going to take back the school board.

00:24:17.000 I'm going to challenge them.

00:24:18.000 I'm going to show up in record numbers.

00:24:20.000 And it's amazing to see.

00:24:22.000 And they know the political power of this type of movement.

00:24:32.000 And they know that if this thing finds its kind of conclusive end, this thing can be a massive swing politically, especially in 2022.

00:24:42.000 So let me talk about kind of what I think Republicans need to run on in 2022.

00:24:48.000 Because I think that Republicans trying to take back the House, I think we're going to get it wrong.

00:24:52.000 And here's my contribution to the conversation: that you have been lied to, and you know it.

00:24:58.000 You've been lied to by Republicans and Democrats that say, all you have to do is take back the House and things will get better.

00:25:03.000 We know that's not true, right?

00:25:05.000 We know this is a 40-year to 50-year project, and we want to be told the truth by our politicians.

00:25:10.000 So instead, why don't our politicians say, Hey, we're going to promise you something we can actually do?

00:25:16.000 So, Republicans need to run on four major things.

00:25:19.000 It's this simple: number one, they can get this done.

00:25:22.000 Day 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.

00:25:39.000 That's number one: that we need to empower you and you and you to have the information to know what's happened.

00:25:44.000 You want to say, Charlie, how do we take the country back?

00:25:46.000 First, we have to prove to our fellow voters and countrymen how corrupt this actually is.

00:25:51.000 I want the receipts, Anthony Fauci.

00:25:53.000 How many times do you visit the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

00:25:55.000 Not some sort of five-minute thing where you testify under oath.

00:25:58.000 No, I want a special commission.

00:26:00.000 And this tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats.

00:26:02.000 They have a special commission into January 6th.

00:26:06.000 They don't have a special commission as something that's killed 700,000 Americans.

00:26:10.000 They 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.

00:26:17.000 We need a non-stop hearing blitz of every single deep state medical practitioner that was involved in every that changed all of your life.

00:26:26.000 And 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.

00:26:36.000 I want you to think about that.

00:26:38.000 It changed our economy.

00:26:40.000 It changed our voting laws.

00:26:42.000 It changed our children's education.

00:26:44.000 We have a mental health crisis.

00:26:45.000 We have a suicide epidemic on our hands, all because of something that our own government funded.

00:26:51.000 Now, you're going to see George W. Bush coming out with his recent foundation.

00:26:55.000 He says, it doesn't matter where the virus came from, okay?

00:26:58.000 It doesn't matter.

00:26:59.000 Oh, it doesn't matter.

00:27:00.000 Because they're saying it doesn't matter if it's an act of God.

00:27:03.000 Let me tell you why it matters.

00:27:05.000 I mean, it's so unbelievably obvious.

00:27:07.000 I don't even have to say it, but that it wasn't an act of God.

00:27:11.000 It was our own government acting like God.

00:27:14.000 It was our own government funding gain of function research and creating the virus itself.

00:27:20.000 And then we have to say, what was China's government's involvement in that?

00:27:23.000 And guess what?

00:27:24.000 You'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. 0.96

00:27:31.000 And that ends now.

00:27:33.000 You want to build grassroots momentum.

00:27:36.000 We need information.

00:27:37.000 Number 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.

00:27:49.000 We are going to get to the bottom of what happened in the 2020 election.

00:27:53.000 From Mark Zuckerberg's $420 million to Facebook and Twitter not allowing the Hunter Biden story to be shared in the month of October.

00:28:03.000 There needs to be a special commission report of all the different dynamics that were at play in the 2020 election.

00:28:10.000 Now they say, man, there's no evidence.

00:28:13.000 You notice this?

00:28:14.000 Again, I do this for a living, so I don't expect everyone to notice.

00:28:16.000 Do you notice how they said there's no evidence to fraud?

00:28:18.000 Now there's no evidence of widespread fraud.

00:28:20.000 Do you notice how they changed that?

00:28:21.000 Now, why is that a big difference?

00:28:22.000 Because Trump didn't lose widespread.

00:28:24.000 He lost Arizona by 10,000 votes.

00:28:26.000 He lost Georgia by 9,000 votes.

00:28:28.000 He lost Pennsylvania by 60,000 votes.

00:28:30.000 So widespread and fraud are two totally different things.

00:28:32.000 So all of a sudden they now have new indictments in Wisconsin of people that go to nursing homes and turn in ballots fraudulently.

00:28:38.000 We 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.

00:28:49.000 Now, I'm going to say something that might be totally unpopular, but you got to dream big.

00:28:52.000 You guys got to get rid of mail-in voting here in Colorado.

00:28:54.000 It's a total and complete disaster.

00:28:56.000 It is a disaster.

00:28:59.000 And not everyone agrees.

00:29:02.000 They say, oh, Charlie, it's wonderful.

00:29:03.000 It's safe and secure.

00:29:05.000 You're being played.

00:29:05.000 That's all I have to say.

00:29:06.000 You are being played, everybody, okay?

00:29:09.000 Every state that goes to mass mail-in voting is controlled by the Democrats within six to eight years, okay?

00:29:14.000 Oregon has done it.

00:29:14.000 Washington has done it.

00:29:16.000 Colorado was literally the blueprint for it.

00:29:18.000 We need a special commission.

00:29:19.000 We need answers on this.

00:29:20.000 Number three, when Republicans take back the House of Representatives, we need a special commission subpoenas.

00:29:25.000 We 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.

00:29:37.000 We need answers now, and people need to go to jail for what happened in Afghanistan. 0.99

00:29:45.000 Now, you might see a common theme between all of this.

00:29:49.000 We need people to run for Congress and not give you false hope.

00:29:55.000 I'm tired of this.

00:29:56.000 Send us and we're going to defeat socialism.

00:29:57.000 You're not going to do that.

00:29:58.000 You're not going to get rid of the FBI.

00:30:00.000 You're not getting rid of the Department of Education.

00:30:01.000 What 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.

00:30:20.000 And all of a sudden, you start feeding this information.

00:30:22.000 You 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.

00:30:29.000 Information, everybody.

00:30:30.000 That's what, this is what the base needs more than anything else.

00:30:33.000 Because guess what?

00:30:35.000 It's not happening through our journalists, obviously.

00:30:37.000 It's not happening through media, but Congress can do that, and Congress needs to do that.

00:30:41.000 The fourth thing, if I had to have a fourth one on, is we need to know the extent and the detail.

00:30:45.000 And 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.

00:30:53.000 We need to know exactly what happened, how involved they were.

00:30:57.000 It's very, very important.

00:31:00.000 But this will, here's what I'm afraid of.

00:31:02.000 We're going to take back the House unless our voters are too cynical because they don't trust Republicans.

00:31:09.000 It's that simple.

00:31:10.000 How do we give those people the confidence to show up?

00:31:12.000 When you say, look, I'm going to level with you.

00:31:15.000 Day one, we're going to start to get answers that you deserve.

00:31:18.000 We're going to start to do criminal referrals that you deserve on this.

00:31:21.000 And what's so amazing is that these people have actually thought they would be infinitely untouchable.

00:31:27.000 Fauci is not prepared for this, everybody.

00:31:29.000 Now, Fauci, some of you might say, Charlie, you know, it's unfair to pick on Fauci.

00:31:33.000 I 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.

00:31:41.000 Fauci is the embodiment of every reason we lost the country.

00:31:44.000 Let me prove it to you.

00:31:46.000 He has failed upward his entire life.

00:31:47.000 He's never done anything meaningful or successful.

00:31:50.000 No one voted for Fauci.

00:31:52.000 I want you to think about that.

00:31:53.000 It is against everything the framers put into our system.

00:31:56.000 Fauci did not collect signatures.

00:31:58.000 He didn't go knock on doors.

00:31:59.000 He doesn't have to show up to Lincoln Reagan Dave dinners and give you an update from DC.

00:32:03.000 No, he's unelected, unaccountable, and was largely unknown until the Fauci virus actually came.

00:32:09.000 And because it's his virus, because of the funding behind it.

00:32:12.000 And so when you are able to start to make arguments and prove to other people, that's when things can actually start to change.

00:32:20.000 And 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.

00:32:33.000 It was a movement that was afraid to offend other people.

00:32:36.000 It was a movement that was afraid to be called racist all the time.

00:32:40.000 Now, 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.

00:32:45.000 Hi, how you doing?

00:32:45.000 Good to see you.

00:32:48.000 Worthless rag. 0.98

00:32:52.000 And so if you are a racist here tonight, please go find help.

00:32:58.000 There's a pastor that can find you the hope and the salvation in Jesus Christ.

00:33:02.000 It is a sin, and you need to take it seriously.

00:33:04.000 I say that non-sarcastically.

00:33:06.000 But we have a supply and demand issue with racism in our country.

00:33:10.000 We 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.

00:33:22.000 We 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.

00:33:36.000 And so I think we're starting to see a new conservative movement that is starting to say, you can call me whatever you want.

00:33:43.000 You can throw names at me.

00:33:45.000 You can not invite me to your social circle or whatever.

00:33:48.000 Like, I'm on a mission and we're going to take back the country.

00:33:52.000 And 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.

00:34:00.000 We're here to take the country back.

00:34:01.000 Is that all you got?

00:34:02.000 And that's the new conservative movement.

00:34:05.000 And so it's a state of affairs where we're looking at it now.

00:34:15.000 There's a great term in social psychology, which is anti-fragile.

00:34:19.000 It's written by a book by the guy, Nassim Taleb.

00:34:22.000 It's a phenomenal book.

00:34:23.000 Where if you were to think, what is the opposite of what is fragile?

00:34:26.000 You'd say durable or tough.

00:34:28.000 The 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?

00:34:41.000 What do you call a movement that the more you actually try to destroy it, the stronger it gets?

00:34:48.000 And they say some churches, not the woke churches, we could talk about that later.

00:34:53.000 But that term would be anti-fragile.

00:34:55.000 Now, what's an example of an anti-fragile organization?

00:34:58.000 The British people under Winston Churchill's leadership when the Nazis were bombing London.

00:35:03.000 That made them stronger.

00:35:04.000 They lost thousands of people.

00:35:06.000 They lost thousands of buildings.

00:35:08.000 But the more they actually bombed their hometown, the more it strengthened their resolve.

00:35:13.000 Now, here's the good news I have to share with you tonight, that something happened after the Biden regime got implemented, not elected.

00:35:20.000 Let me be very clear with that.

00:35:21.000 Implemented, not elected.

00:35:23.000 Okay?

00:35:24.000 Something happened that we as conservatives rejected the thing that we're so good at.

00:35:32.000 One of the few things we're good at.

00:35:33.000 We rejected self-pity.

00:35:35.000 We are the most incredibly talented self-pity parade people I've ever seen.

00:35:40.000 We write books about it.

00:35:41.000 We have TV shows dedicated towards it.

00:35:43.000 We have entire organizations that all they do is publish papers about how awful things are.

00:35:47.000 We don't control Harvard, the FBI, Twitter, Google, Facebook, any of academia, the civil service or bureaucracies.

00:35:53.000 What's the point?

00:35:54.000 Everything's over.

00:35:55.000 You know, let's just have a nice time.

00:35:57.000 And 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.

00:36:20.000 You understand, and this is a very important point.

00:36:22.000 I believe the current ruling class and the current Democrat and Republic ruling class, you get that?

00:36:31.000 They are getting demoralized.

00:36:34.000 I think that they're frustrated.

00:36:36.000 And here's why.

00:36:37.000 They 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.

00:36:47.000 They thought they'd say, okay, enough.

00:36:49.000 They thought around May, we'd say, all right, you know what?

00:36:52.000 Let's have Liz Cheney run our party, right? 1.00

00:36:54.000 Let's just, let's just do that, which, by the way, what an awful excuse for a representative, Liz Cheney. 1.00

00:37:00.000 Can I just say that?

00:37:01.000 It's unbelievable.

00:37:03.000 Oh my goodness.

00:37:05.000 What just absolutely disgusting.

00:37:07.000 It really is. 0.80

00:37:08.000 And you want somebody lying to your voters?

00:37:10.000 She represents Wyoming.

00:37:11.000 What was the last time she was actually in Wyoming?

00:37:13.000 Do you guys ever been to?

00:37:14.000 I mean, you guys have obviously been to Wyoming a lot.

00:37:17.000 And that's just another example of betraying your voters, right?

00:37:20.000 I mean, she's totally intentional to try and do something that's totally against the voters of Wyoming. 1.00

00:37:27.000 But no, actually, we wanted something different.

00:37:29.000 Actually, we wanted results.

00:37:31.000 And 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.

00:37:40.000 And what happened in the last nine months, I want to compliment all of you.

00:37:44.000 I 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.

00:37:57.000 But instead, city councils were taken over.

00:37:59.000 Instead, we have a Republican mayor in McCallan, Texas, which is the first Republican to be elected since 1926.

00:38:04.000 Instead, we are seeing a massive reaction.

00:38:07.000 For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction in a way that is profound.

00:38:11.000 And it's something that is going to all of a sudden give the playbook for how we are going to take back this country.

00:38:16.000 And so that is an anti-fragile movement.

00:38:21.000 That's an anti-fragile movement that the more they attack us, the more that they come after us, the stronger we actually become.

00:38:28.000 Because here's where it is, everybody.

00:38:30.000 There's only two ways this ends up.

00:38:32.000 We win or they win.

00:38:33.000 There is no middle ground.

00:38:35.000 It's that simple.

00:38:37.000 But 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.

00:38:48.000 So let me close with this.

00:38:49.000 I'm going to do a pastor's close.

00:38:50.000 There'll be like three closing in one, right?

00:38:52.000 So people ask all the time, they say, Charlie, what can we do?

00:38:57.000 What can we do to actually get engaged and get involved?

00:39:00.000 Charlie, I watch Tucker Carlson every night.

00:39:03.000 I bought the pillow.

00:39:04.000 I've done everything I've been told to do, right?

00:39:09.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com, okay?

00:39:15.000 And the Giza dream sheets are unbelievable and the slippers heavenly.

00:39:23.000 You know, right?

00:39:26.000 I want to do more, Charlie.

00:39:28.000 What can I do?

00:39:29.000 Here's some marching orders for you tonight.

00:39:31.000 Number one, reject cynicism every day.

00:39:34.000 If people around you are cynical, say snap out of it.

00:39:36.000 If I wanted someone to complain, I would call someone from the United Kingdom. 1.00

00:39:40.000 If I wanted someone to sit around and drink wine, I'd call an Italian. 1.00

00:39:43.000 If I wanted someone to retreat, I'd call someone from France. 1.00

00:39:46.000 I want to win, and that's what Americans do.

00:39:48.000 Stop complaining.

00:39:51.000 I always lose at least two people that are like, I'm on the France.

00:39:56.000 There's like swearing on the way up.

00:39:58.000 Like in Seattle or something, it was really aggressive.

00:40:00.000 Like, I'm kidding.

00:40:01.000 All right, I got plenty more French jokes.

00:40:02.000 I won't share them with you tonight.

00:40:05.000 But that's, we're not complainers as a people.

00:40:07.000 I mean, give me a break.

00:40:08.000 We as Americans are problem solvers.

00:40:09.000 We do impossible things.

00:40:11.000 We still have a great country.

00:40:12.000 I know it's falling apart.

00:40:13.000 I know it's not what it used to be.

00:40:14.000 I know we're controlled by a small, unelected group of people that hate us and hate our values.

00:40:18.000 Okay, we still have the truth and we have the people.

00:40:20.000 We have energy.

00:40:21.000 And as long as I have breath in my lungs, you have to be optimistic.

00:40:24.000 And things are starting to change.

00:40:26.000 They're starting to turn.

00:40:28.000 And so that's number one.

00:40:29.000 Anywhere in your orbit, the energy of cynicism, reject it.

00:40:33.000 Like, I don't have time for this.

00:40:34.000 This negativity is not going to be there.

00:40:35.000 You can be honest.

00:40:36.000 You can lay out things that happen.

00:40:37.000 End every conversation on politics with your friends with solutions and action.

00:40:42.000 That's my call to action for you, one of them tonight.

00:40:45.000 Do not do the pity party dinners where you talk about everything that's going in the wrong direction.

00:40:50.000 That's not who we are.

00:40:51.000 That is a defeatist mindset.

00:40:51.000 Okay?

00:40:53.000 They want you to believe that, by the way.

00:40:55.000 They want you to act as if it's over.

00:40:57.000 They want you to try to surrender.

00:40:58.000 Number two, every person here tonight, you have to be the same person in public that you are in private.

00:41:06.000 Be the same person in public that you are in private.

00:41:12.000 Now, this is hard because some people say, Charlie, I'm going to lose my job.

00:41:18.000 I'm going to be kicked out of my fraternity or my sorority.

00:41:21.000 I'm going to be all these different things.

00:41:23.000 You're right.

00:41:24.000 You're not going to take back the country and not have to lose something in the process.

00:41:28.000 And I just want to say this.

00:41:31.000 The 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.

00:41:39.000 I want to say that is courage.

00:41:41.000 That is courage.

00:41:44.000 And it is wrong that we are putting them through it, but I'll be honest.

00:41:48.000 I have hope when I see that.

00:41:50.000 That's sacrifice.

00:41:51.000 When you have people that are working for United Airlines and they say, you know what?

00:41:54.000 I earned $200,000 a year.

00:41:56.000 I've been with this company for 35 years.

00:41:57.000 I never missed a day of work.

00:41:58.000 Now they're making me get a vaccine for a virus I've already had.

00:42:01.000 And now I'm walking away.

00:42:02.000 I say, that inspires me.

00:42:03.000 Like, you're the courageous one.

00:42:04.000 Like, that's all of a sudden you're putting your income, your net worth.

00:42:07.000 And by the way, it's regardless of your position on the vaccine.

00:42:09.000 It's completely irrelevant.

00:42:11.000 But that's all of a sudden saying, I'm willing to sacrifice for something that is beyond me.

00:42:15.000 And we need more of that.

00:42:17.000 And 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.

00:42:30.000 So 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.

00:42:36.000 I know I'm not supposed to endorse anyone.

00:42:37.000 So here's all I'm going to say.

00:42:38.000 Heidi is a wonderful friend and she's a phenomenal person.

00:42:41.000 And this is me not endorsing anybody.

00:42:43.000 Okay.

00:42:43.000 That's all I'm going to say.

00:42:44.000 So I didn't endorse anybody.

00:42:46.000 Okay.

00:42:46.000 So I've known Heidi for years.

00:42:48.000 We've done a lot of things together.

00:42:49.000 And she actually spoke at our turning point events a couple of years ago.

00:42:52.000 We 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?

00:43:03.000 Which is that everything, you need to focus on buildings you drive by every single day.

00:43:08.000 Think about that.

00:43:09.000 Focus on the school boards.

00:43:10.000 Focus on the city council.

00:43:11.000 I 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.

00:43:22.000 And, you know, in the final push, you guys can make a difference for that.

00:43:25.000 Please do that.

00:43:26.000 And the final thing I'll say with this, which is the fourth thing, that people say, Charlie, what can I do?

00:43:32.000 What can I do?

00:43:32.000 I feel like I'm losing my country.

00:43:34.000 What can I do?

00:43:35.000 Well, consider if you really want to go all in, make your business politics.

00:43:40.000 And that's a tough thing.

00:43:40.000 You're like, well, I don't want to do that.

00:43:42.000 Okay, well, then there's a limit, right?

00:43:43.000 Which is like, look, look at our team at Turning Point USA.

00:43:46.000 We travel 330 days a year, right?

00:43:49.000 We're speaking all the time.

00:43:50.000 We get all the most wonderful death threats you can imagine.

00:43:53.000 I'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?

00:44:01.000 And 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.

00:44:18.000 It's all karmic.

00:44:20.000 Instead, in politics, it does make a difference what you do.

00:44:25.000 Is that in sports, we view politics and sports as the same thing.

00:44:29.000 We say, oh, well, you know, this is kind of watching on TV.

00:44:32.000 I open, I'll buy the jersey, pillow, whatever, right?

00:44:35.000 And that's it.

00:44:36.000 No, this is different.

00:44:37.000 Like, you can register voters.

00:44:38.000 You can knock on doors.

00:44:39.000 You can run for office.

00:44:40.000 You can host events.

00:44:42.000 And you can actually do meaningful things.

00:44:44.000 It's totally different than a sports team.

00:44:46.000 And you're like, no, no, no, Charlie, you don't understand.

00:44:48.000 When we won the Super Bowl, it was my cheering in, you know, right at the end zone that got it done.

00:44:54.000 You're right.

00:44:55.000 It was probably your vocal cords that got the Denver Broncos, you know, their Super Bowl.

00:44:58.000 Let's stop fooling ourselves, okay?

00:45:00.000 In 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?

00:45:08.000 And I look to them, I was like, what am I?

00:45:10.000 Like a running back for the Arizona Cardinals or something?

00:45:13.000 I say, how's it going with you out there?

00:45:15.000 Oh, I don't do this stuff.

00:45:16.000 I just kind of watch.

00:45:17.000 Like, no more spectator conservatism, anybody, everybody.

00:45:20.000 It's the man in the arena that counts.

00:45:24.000 The man in the arena that counts.

00:45:27.000 So let me close with this.

00:45:29.000 A couple other two other thoughts.

00:45:31.000 Colorado is winnable.

00:45:32.000 Colorado, I want you to say, I want to say that again.

00:45:35.000 Colorado can turn.

00:45:36.000 Colorado is winnable.

00:45:42.000 It's not going to happen overnight.

00:45:44.000 It's going to take work.

00:45:46.000 But the cynics in Virginia, all of a sudden, are like, oh, yeah, we believe this the entire time.

00:45:51.000 And 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.

00:46:01.000 It's just the way it is.

00:46:03.000 Is 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.

00:46:22.000 That's another, that's actually a really nice thing to think about.

00:46:26.000 And so what we're doing on the campus is what you guys are doing out there is going to make a major difference.

00:46:32.000 And it's going to take a coalition.

00:46:34.000 It's going to take a bottom-up movement.

00:46:36.000 It's going to take all of us together.

00:46:38.000 And so here's what I want you to try to see that success is going to look like.

00:46:42.000 New York Times headline in 2040: sudden and shocking right turn in our country attributable to citizen uprising post-COVID-19 pandemic.

00:46:53.000 That's the success that we need to have.

00:46:55.000 Is that we need to say success 20 years down the road is all of a sudden this was the beginning.

00:47:00.000 Someone says, Charlie, do you think we're going to win?

00:47:01.000 I say, you know what?

00:47:02.000 First of all, that's another question I can't stand.

00:47:04.000 Let me tell you why I can't stand this question.

00:47:05.000 Number one, do you think we're going to win?

00:47:07.000 There's no good answer.

00:47:08.000 There's no way I can answer that question.

00:47:09.000 Let me tell you why.

00:47:10.000 If I say, you know what?

00:47:11.000 Yeah, I think we're going to win.

00:47:12.000 You know what you go do?

00:47:13.000 You go home and you're like, I don't have to do anything because Charlie says we're going to win.

00:47:17.000 And 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.

00:47:22.000 There's no good way I can answer that question.

00:47:24.000 Instead, I'll say, it depends on you.

00:47:26.000 Depends on what you're going to do.

00:47:28.000 I don't know.

00:47:28.000 It's an open-ended question.

00:47:30.000 I think we have truth.

00:47:31.000 I think we have better ideas, better arguments.

00:47:33.000 I think that we have momentum, force equals last time's acceleration, but it's going to take action.

00:47:38.000 And so the crucible, the moment that we're at right now in American history is one where the citizen needs to reassert itself.

00:47:48.000 And this will be the final thing I say, which is an awakening is necessary for us to win.

00:47:55.000 The greatest man to live in the 20th century was Winston Churchill.

00:47:58.000 Winston Churchill, what, wrote 50 books.

00:48:02.000 He was the most incredible leader in a time when the entire country was not prepared for war.

00:48:07.000 He was willing to bring them up against existential evil.

00:48:10.000 There was only one man that was smiling on the morning of December 7th, 1941.

00:48:16.000 And that was Winston Churchill.

00:48:17.000 When 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.

00:48:25.000 His war cabinet was sullen, downtrodden, with low morale.

00:48:29.000 At 7 o'clock in the morning, he walks in and he says, we have won the war.

00:48:36.000 And his war cabinet looks around and says, what do you mean we've won the war?

00:48:39.000 And he says it again, we have won the war.

00:48:43.000 And his one brave soul in the war cabinet challenged the prime minister.

00:48:46.000 He says, what do you mean we've won the war?

00:48:48.000 Have you lost your mind?

00:48:50.000 We barely got our troops out of Dunkirk.
