00:00:33.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:34.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:35.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:37.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:43.000 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.
00:00:52.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:20.000 We are live here in Las Vegas, Nevada for the Turning Point Action Restoring National Confidence Summit with a good friend of mine who partially inspired me to do this because he just shows up every single day, regardless of what's going on in the news.
00:01:32.000 And you have the grit and the hustle and just the daily discipline, Steve.
00:01:35.000 And I really, really admire it.
00:01:36.000 Steve Bannon, welcome.
00:01:38.000 Thank you.
00:01:38.000 Thank you so much.
00:01:39.000 By the way, this is the kind of guy Charlie is.
00:01:41.000 They had a huge audience for our show.
00:01:43.000 I appreciate it.
00:01:44.000 But Charlie starts his own conference when his show starts.
00:01:46.000 That shows you a lot.
00:01:47.000 No, that's confidence.
00:01:49.000 That's a guy that really knows.
00:01:50.000 Tell us what's happening inside because what you guys have done, when you first told me about this, I said, this is the craziest idea I've ever heard.
00:01:57.000 We're going to do a pre-RNC to actually do what the RNC should be doing on Turning Points Nickel and do it out in Las Vegas exactly where they do it and do it live for two days.
00:02:06.000 In the hotel next to it.
00:02:07.000 In the hotel next to it.
00:02:08.000 And then I saw the, yeah, because you're down a price point or two, right, or three.
00:02:12.000 That's the frugality that we need, Steve.
00:02:14.000 This is 100%.
00:02:15.000 And so I'm just really enthusiastic.
00:02:17.000 When I saw the agenda and I saw the quality people that you're bringing out here, it's just incredible.
00:02:22.000 By the way, Don Jr. is coming tonight.
00:02:23.000 It's a big deal.
00:02:24.000 Well, you, John Jr., and somebody else speak all in a row.
00:02:27.000 Oh, yeah, no, I want to look at the final lineup, though, but I know Don Jr. is keynoting tonight.
00:02:30.000 Yeah.
00:02:31.000 And so, so, Steve, I want to just kind of dive into this for a second and just kind of lay it out.
00:02:36.000 You are right.
00:02:37.000 It takes some chutzpah to do this because the RNC titanium stones.
00:02:42.000 But they're an uncomfortable.
00:02:43.000 Because you're just bringing the haters right on top of you.
00:02:45.000 Oh, the money class.
00:02:46.000 Well, but also, it's important to understand at Turning Point, we have 300,000 grassroots donors now, which is one of the biggest donor files of any organization.
00:02:53.000 Not as big as Trump's, but that's big.
00:02:55.000 So we are supported by the everyday people.
00:02:57.000 But Steve, what I think is...
00:02:58.000 Because you deliver.
00:02:59.000 And we deliver.
00:03:00.000 And the purpose of this meeting is not to shame the RNC or any of that.
00:03:04.000 It's to challenge them and to say, why haven't you done this?
00:03:07.000 Be better.
00:03:07.000 Why haven't you engaged the grassroots?
00:03:09.000 Why haven't you secured our elections?
00:03:10.000 And Steve, how much money has the RNC raised in this primary?
00:03:14.000 Can you talk about that for our audience?
00:03:16.000 We have right now, $120 million was spent on TV advertising alone in Iowa.
00:03:21.000 They have, according to documented sources, New York Times, Jonathan Martin, the top guys that follow this from public documentation, $250 to $300 million already up to New Hampshire.
00:03:33.000 We now know that Tricky Nikki Haley is going to do another couple of hundred million.
00:03:37.000 There's going to be $500 million spent on everything that's not on the agenda today.
00:03:43.000 Not on ballot harvesting, not on ballot chasing, not on get out the vote, not on election security, election integrity, taking on Mark Elias, anything that we need to close the deal on a massive win.
00:03:54.000 They have not spent one penny.
00:03:56.000 And at the end of the day, it's going to be a half a billion dollars.
00:03:58.000 $500 million.
00:04:00.000 And we just know the RNC announced over the weekend they've taken a line of credit, I think, secured by the headquarters because the small donors have cut them off.
00:04:09.000 I think if you network.
00:04:10.000 Are you kidding me?
00:04:10.000 They collateralized the building.
00:04:12.000 I think it collateralized the bill to get it.
00:04:13.000 Well, it had to.
00:04:13.000 They're not going to have exactly.
00:04:16.000 Nobody's going to lend them any money.
00:04:17.000 I can't take that interest rate.
00:04:18.000 Line of credit.
00:04:19.000 I think on the books they say $9 million, but I think if you net out other obligations, I think it's net $3 to $5 million.
00:04:25.000 The DNC, you need $100 or $200 million to start this process.
00:04:29.000 Remember, the campaign and the RNC merge after he's the nominal.
00:04:32.000 Oh, that's right.
00:04:33.000 They become a victory fund.
00:04:34.000 But that doesn't happen until the convention.
00:04:35.000 Till the convention.
00:04:36.000 And the RNC has no money, and they have no money because they have not performed.
00:04:40.000 You're a gentleman, but I say you got to call them out the top.
00:04:43.000 The fish rots from the head.
00:04:45.000 Right now, they have a leadership problem.
00:04:47.000 It's not going to get better.
00:04:48.000 There's nothing Rana can say.
00:04:50.000 And look, she's a good person, but this is about practical.
00:04:52.000 We must close the deal.
00:04:54.000 We didn't, if we had had this meeting of turning point and what you're doing right now in January of 2020, Donald J. Trump will be starting the fourth year of his second term, and nothing we wouldn't have a war in Ukraine.
00:05:06.000 There wouldn't be 500,000 Ukrainians dead.
00:05:09.000 There wouldn't be five American servicemen, two Navy SEALs, and three soldiers dead right now, and 30 wounded.
00:05:16.000 There wouldn't be two carrier battle groups under siege in the Red Sea.
00:05:20.000 There wouldn't be an invasion of 8 million.
00:05:22.000 Think of what's happened to our nation because this didn't take place in January of 2020.
00:05:27.000 And we depend upon the RNC, who is too incompetent to assist President Trump's campaign in closing the deal.
00:05:32.000 We must close.
00:05:33.000 We won in 2020.
00:05:34.000 We're going to win again.
00:05:36.000 But if you don't close the deal, and that's what two-thirds of your thing is today, is saying, hey, you've got to stop the happy talk.
00:05:42.000 And people are going to stop giving unless they say, look, I saw what we won in 2020.
00:05:47.000 I saw Kerry Lake win in 2022, but Donald Trump's in Mar-a-Lago and Kerry Lake's running around Arizona is not the governor.
00:05:54.000 And we got invasions on the southern border with 8 million illegal aliens here.
00:05:57.000 What in the hell is going on?
00:05:59.000 We have to instill the confidence.
00:06:00.000 What I love this morning, you had the grassroots here.
00:06:02.000 Tell us about that.
00:06:02.000 I mean, you've got 60 or 70 national committeemen from the RNC that are here.
00:06:07.000 That's a signal enough in itself.
00:06:09.000 Oh, that's a warning shot, is what it is.
00:06:11.000 And so, two thoughts.
00:06:12.000 Number one, the RNC said when they were running reelection last year, hey, we need to stay in power because we know the donors.
00:06:18.000 The donors have cut them off.
00:06:19.000 Cut them off.
00:06:20.000 And that's what's important.
00:06:20.000 This is a top-down, bottom-up squeeze of the RNC.
00:06:23.000 The bottom-up, you guys have led the charge.
00:06:25.000 We're not going to give the $20, $50, $100.
00:06:27.000 But the big money guys say, no, no, no, we're not giving money anymore.
00:06:30.000 They have completely stopped giving money because even the donors see, what is the RNC doing?
00:06:35.000 You guys aren't working hard.
00:06:36.000 You're spending money on crazy stuff.
00:06:37.000 That's number one.
00:06:38.000 Number two, though, what is the attendance here?
00:06:40.000 Because look, Steve, turning point is very blessed.
00:06:42.000 We have been blessed by God Almighty.
00:06:45.000 We could do an event.
00:06:45.000 We could have 3,000 people show up.
00:06:47.000 But that's not what this is about.
00:06:48.000 These are people from every corner of the country that are actively in leadership positions that are running county Republican parties that are running state Republican parties.
00:06:57.000 So it is really the creme de la creme.
00:06:59.000 These are the people, by the way, that make the party.
00:07:01.000 No, we could have 10,000 from War Room and Trump and attorney.
00:07:04.000 And we're going to do that in a couple weeks.
00:07:05.000 Yes, we'll do that.
00:07:05.000 But here, it is just the people that are the tips of the spirit.
00:07:08.000 These are the field markets.
00:07:09.000 These are the field markets.
00:07:10.000 Tip of the tip of the spirit.
00:07:11.000 So, what do you hope to accomplish?
00:07:12.000 What's the objective by tomorrow night?
00:07:14.000 You've got Don Jr., you've got a list of great speakers.
00:07:16.000 You've got great panels.
00:07:17.000 You've got great workshops.
00:07:18.000 It's all action, action, action.
00:07:20.000 Tomorrow night, when we wrap up, what are the objectives that you hope to achieve?
00:07:25.000 Well, number one, I want them to feel as if they have energy and conviction of somebody having their back.
00:07:29.000 That's number one.
00:07:29.000 I know that's a takeaway.
00:07:30.000 That doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's a huge deal.
00:07:33.000 They have been demoralized.
00:07:34.000 They feel as if I'm the only grassroots guy.
00:07:35.000 I'm constantly getting squeezed by the Bush types and the Rove types.
00:07:38.000 That's number one.
00:07:39.000 Number two, marching orders with great specificity, especially in the states that matter the most for the presidency.
00:07:45.000 The five to seven battlegrounds.
00:07:46.000 Yeah, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
00:07:47.000 By the way, did you notice when we were going around the room how much Arizona here?
00:07:50.000 And just so you know, turning point action, we paid for the flights and the travel of 75 of the largest county chairs.
00:07:55.000 And we're going to be saying, hey, here's how you can maximize your voter registration.
00:07:58.000 Here's how you can clean up your voter rolls.
00:07:59.000 Here is how you can get the legal ballot chasing to expand the early low-propensity voters.
00:08:06.000 And Mike Lindell's going to be presenting on his deal.
00:08:08.000 And so we're going to be giving them a buffet line.
00:08:10.000 Think of it as a buffet line.
00:08:11.000 It's an all-you-can-eat buffet for the grassroots of training, of technology.
00:08:14.000 And then we also bring in the sizzle.
00:08:16.000 Don Jr. is going to fire him up.
00:08:18.000 Don Jr. is going to say, my father's going to be the nominee.
00:08:20.000 He's going to be the next president.
00:08:21.000 And we need you.
00:08:22.000 And by the way, Don Jr., he's traveling five hours one way, five hours back.
00:08:25.000 He's a total patriot.
00:08:26.000 Don Jr.
00:08:27.000 He's a beast.
00:08:28.000 He is dead.
00:08:29.000 He is one of my favorite people in the whole country in the movement.
00:08:31.000 He doesn't have to be doing this.
00:08:32.000 He's coming here.
00:08:32.000 The goodness of his heart.
00:08:33.000 And you know what?
00:08:34.000 Always upbeat, always on options.
00:08:35.000 Oh, he's great.
00:08:36.000 I mean, pure energy.
00:08:37.000 You know what I love about Don?
00:08:38.000 I told him about this.
00:08:38.000 He said, Charlie, I am so sick to my stomach about the RNC.
00:08:41.000 I'm paraphrasing and nothing he wouldn't say about what they didn't do in 2020.
00:08:45.000 We need this early.
00:08:46.000 And to your point, Steve, not to play too much into what Turning Point is doing.
00:08:51.000 I was told in 2020 that everything was great and the RNC had everything secure.
00:08:55.000 They raised $400 to $500 million that we know of in the 2020 election cycle.
00:09:01.000 And we didn't have legal team.
00:09:03.000 By the way, this state is a great example of the lack of a legal infrastructure.
00:09:05.000 They were flying in people from across the country.
00:09:08.000 After the fact.
00:09:08.000 They didn't have complaints ready to go.
00:09:10.000 I mean, so one of the takeaways is we need to have salvo after salvo after salvo of legal complaints launched very soon from the bottom-up level.
00:09:18.000 Now, how we pay for it, that's what the RNC should be doing.
00:09:20.000 One of the few things the RNC can do is they could raise legal funds.
00:09:24.000 The marching orders are important, but also the other takeaway, Steve, is I want the RNC, and there's no guarantee they're going to do this, is they won't take this as an insult, and they might because they're very fragile people, but they'll say, you know what?
00:09:35.000 Maybe we aren't doing a good enough job because there's obviously an appetite enough where these county chairs come a couple days early.
00:09:41.000 The state party chairs come a couple days early and because the RNC is not actually doing their job.
00:09:45.000 My nominee to replace Rana is Don Jr.
00:09:49.000 Oh, wouldn't that be great?
00:09:50.000 My backup is Eric's wife.
00:09:52.000 Oh, Laura's a great, high-energy person.
00:09:55.000 Oh, that's a good idea.
00:09:56.000 He's the best person on TV.
00:09:57.000 I'm serious.
00:09:58.000 If Don Jr., who I think is the best because of his energy, his focus, he knows that.
00:10:02.000 He's smart, by the way.
00:10:03.000 He's a very smart.
00:10:04.000 Because you're going to merge both of them into a victory fund.
00:10:06.000 If not Don Jr., I think Eric Trump's wife, Laura, who's, I think, a dynamo.
00:10:11.000 By the way, she'd be in the U.S. Senate if she ran for the Senate.
00:10:13.000 Part of being the RNC, it's not an easy job, is you have to put in 18 to 20 hour days.
00:10:18.000 If you actually want to run an elite party, right?
00:10:19.000 Yes.
00:10:20.000 Don can do that.
00:10:21.000 Don can raise money.
00:10:22.000 Donors love Don.
00:10:23.000 Don speaks that language.
00:10:24.000 Don has raised billions of dollars from major deals, right?
00:10:26.000 He built Trump Chicago basically, who's in charge of that deal.
00:10:28.000 That's a great idea, Steve.
00:10:32.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:10:33.000 If you're looking for a reliable and clear way to have voice and text communication to any number from anywhere in the world, you need a satellite phone, and no one does it better than the satellite phone store.
00:10:44.000 Just go to sat123.com.
00:10:46.000 Check out sat, s-at-t-123.com.
00:10:49.000 There is no tracking.
00:10:50.000 No one can listen in on your phone calls.
00:10:52.000 And the most secure way to communicate is from satellite phone to satellite phone.
00:10:56.000 Even the U.S. military use satellite phones.
00:10:59.000 And you'll never get an advertisement from any other company because everything you do with the satellite phone will be 100% private.
00:11:05.000 In America this year, only 5% of the island in Maui burned, but 95% of the island lost its power and sell service.
00:11:10.000 Even the 911 emergency service was down because they had no access to satellite communication backup.
00:11:15.000 Be ready.
00:11:16.000 Prepare your family with power and communication.
00:11:18.000 Go to sat123.com, get a free sat phone for a free 15-month agreement, a $1,200 value.
00:11:24.000 Safety and security are just a click away.
00:11:25.000 Just go to sat123.com for affordable individual family plans or call 855-980-5830.
00:11:34.000 Steve, kind of other thoughts here.
00:11:37.000 What is your message to the grassroots, the importance of this?
00:11:40.000 And also, we're running out of time here.
00:11:41.000 Nikki's going to extend this primary.
00:11:43.000 Every day she extends the primary, she is robbing from our chances to decisively win in November.
00:11:50.000 Why Tricky Nikki is going to extend it is because what the money class and the Wall Street class and the Koks and Paul Singer and that crowd that's around here pumping money in here, Leonard Leo, all that, they know Nikki can't win.
00:12:02.000 Trump's going to be the nominee.
00:12:04.000 But what they're going to try to do is infect, you heard Lindsey Graham and these guys the weekend, let's bomb Tehran last night.
00:12:10.000 They're going to try to infect the Trump movement in the second Trump term with the bacillus of neoliberal neoconism.
00:12:19.000 And you see it playing out through her.
00:12:21.000 She's their vessel.
00:12:22.000 And so what they hope is to get her on the ticket to prove that, hey, she can consolidate 15 to 20% of the never Trump haters, the rhinos, the establishment, the usurpers, the imposters, what they're called now by the grassroots, and either force her on the ticket as VP, which I think is remote, or get her on as Secretary of Defense, which is what that would be a kill shot for them, Secretary of Defense, or get their people into the administration, National Security Council, National Economic Council,
00:12:52.000 over at Treasury.
00:12:53.000 The money never rests.
00:12:55.000 Remember that from all the money never rests.
00:12:57.000 It's a great movie.
00:12:58.000 And the great movie, and the money never rests.
00:13:00.000 And they are relentless about this populist movement.
00:13:03.000 Remember, President Trump changed the dynamics in politics.
00:13:07.000 It was David French, who's the chief hater.
00:13:11.000 He's delightful.
00:13:12.000 He put that President French, I call him.
00:13:13.000 Remember, he ran for president?
00:13:15.000 He and his wife voted for him.
00:13:16.000 It's so embarrassing.
00:13:17.000 No, seriously, come on, man.
00:13:19.000 Give it up.
00:13:20.000 But he wrote an amazing article, I think, for the New York Times, a piece for the New York Times, a column.
00:13:24.000 He said, back in 14 and 15, he had been a traditional Republic, which still is.
00:13:29.000 He didn't realize the anger in the country, that the Trump movement represented people that wanted fundamental change, not kind of marginal change.
00:13:36.000 And that was something he was not prepared for.
00:13:38.000 It was essentially a meacopa, right?
00:13:40.000 But that crowd will never back off.
00:13:43.000 They're relentless.
00:13:44.000 And you can see this when you talk to the grassroots, what do you hear?
00:13:46.000 The business community, the real estate community, other communities in these states have the money.
00:13:51.000 They're not going to pitch in.
00:13:52.000 So we got to kind of do it on our own.
00:13:53.000 I think that's what's so empowering about this because, number one, you're with like-minded people.
00:13:58.000 You're with people who have kind of dedicated their lives.
00:14:00.000 That's right.
00:14:00.000 Their task and purpose is to save the Republic.
00:14:02.000 And this is how they're going to do it.
00:14:03.000 And we kind of wanted to create a little bit of an exclusive because I'm getting angry emails here, and I love them.
00:14:07.000 We're going to tell opportunities, this is not open to the public.
00:14:10.000 It's invite only.
00:14:11.000 And I think that we're going to do something bigger.
00:14:13.000 No, we got something big coming up in Arizona in a couple of weeks.
00:14:15.000 We're going to tell you about it.
00:14:16.000 It's going to be really big and transformational.
00:14:18.000 But in some ways, we want this to be incredibly specific to the roles because, look, if you become a state party chair, 99% of these are unpaid positions.
00:14:26.000 You've got to raise money all the time.
00:14:27.000 You constantly have the media.
00:14:28.000 And county chair and precinct committee chairs.
00:14:30.000 I mean, you're bringing everybody.
00:14:32.000 These are workshops.
00:14:33.000 Normally we come in like turning point.
00:14:35.000 You got the main stage.
00:14:36.000 And that's great.
00:14:36.000 There's a place for that.
00:14:37.000 Place jacked up and you'll do more of those.
00:14:39.000 This is kind of a working session.
00:14:41.000 Yes.
00:14:41.000 Because I get people who said, hey, can we come?
00:14:43.000 I said, no, I think it's invite only.
00:14:45.000 But this is also the power of why you want to be a precinct chairman, why you want to go be a county chair.
00:14:50.000 Yeah, because you can come to events like this.
00:14:51.000 You can come to exclusive events like this.
00:14:52.000 Yes.
00:14:53.000 At the Planet Hollywood.
00:14:54.000 Which, by the way.
00:14:55.000 And get here at six in the morning.
00:14:56.000 We're very frugal.
00:14:57.000 Very frugal.
00:14:58.000 Although I'm really impressed.
00:15:00.000 It's actually a great, it's a thing.
00:15:01.000 Raheem made a comment.
00:15:02.000 They've treated us really well, I have to say.
00:15:04.000 Raheem in 2014, when he was doing Breitbart London, he came over.
00:15:08.000 He went to his first Trump speech here in this very hotel, the ballroom right down there.
00:15:13.000 And that's when Raheem wrote the column for Breitbart London that said he saw Trump as the American Nigel Farage.
00:15:21.000 Nigel was just starting to kick off the Brexit movement then.
00:15:24.000 And get their sovereign.
00:15:25.000 But by the way, it hasn't stopped.
00:15:26.000 And to your point, and we only have a minute and a half.
00:15:28.000 You're welcome to stay, Steve, if you want, but I know you got a lot of stuff there.
00:15:30.000 But just close this thought.
00:15:31.000 The populist thing is being seen in Western governments.
00:15:33.000 These elites all talk to each other.
00:15:35.000 They are so afraid that the genie's out of the bottle.
00:15:39.000 They can't contain it.
00:15:40.000 Okay, remember, Brexit was the predicate in June of 16 for the Trump victory, the Trump revolution in November 16.
00:15:46.000 European parliamentary elections, alternative for Deutschland, National Front, Le Pen, Nigel Farage, all of it is peaking right now.
00:15:54.000 That's going to happen in June.
00:15:55.000 That's going to be the predicate for a massive victory in November.
00:15:58.000 That's what we covered so much.
00:15:59.000 You're absolutely right.
00:15:59.000 This is a international transcontinental.
00:16:02.000 Transcontinental populist nationalists, people rising up to take their countries back.
00:16:05.000 It's mass migration and cheap money.
00:16:07.000 Those are the two things that create populist revolts.
00:16:09.000 Mass migration and cheap money.
00:16:11.000 Lords of easy money.
00:16:12.000 Yeah.
00:16:12.000 And then if you, if you twist, if you throw a little spice of parents' rights, grooming kids, you have traditional values.
00:16:18.000 This is, by the way, where we're so blessed.
00:16:19.000 Of all the world you look, we have Donald J. Trump.
00:16:22.000 No, so we have the super, almost like the superpower guy.
00:16:25.000 It's unbelievable.
00:16:26.000 That not only do we have the, we have the prerequisite elements that are bad, cheap money and mass migration, you have a guy that can fight twice as hard and bring in people and message it and convince them.
00:16:35.000 This week he gets back.
00:16:36.000 He's put in bankruptcy in New York by Tish Jenks.
00:16:38.000 Remember that.
00:16:39.000 No, the law fair is just heating up.
00:16:40.000 By the way, the GOP primary is effectively over, except for Nikki.
00:16:44.000 The law fair primary is just starting.
00:16:46.000 So that's a lawfair primary than the general.
00:16:48.000 Steve, God bless you, man.
00:16:48.000 Thank you, brother.
00:16:49.000 It's so honored to be here.
00:16:50.000 Thank you.
00:16:50.000 See you back next afternoon.
00:16:51.000 Thanks.
00:16:55.000 Traditional media is crumbling.
00:16:56.000 Why?
00:16:57.000 Because they're hiding something, something big.
00:17:00.000 People are realizing they're being lied to left and right, even by institutions they thought they could trust.
00:17:05.000 But you, you've known the truth all along.

00:17:54.000 Matthew Martinez is here from Turning Point Action.
00:17:57.000 Matthew, welcome to the program.
00:17:58.000 Thank you.
00:17:59.000 You do an excellent job, and I have just loved all the numbers that you've crunched.
00:18:03.000 And we're here at the Restoring National Confidence Summit.
00:18:06.000 From your perspective, what's the importance of this gathering?
00:18:08.000 Oh, Charlie, it's so awesome having a lot of RNC members here, a lot of grassroots county chairs across the country come down to Las Vegas, Nevada to hear about our initiative, chase the vote, our projects, our coalitions.
00:18:24.000 But the biggest thing that I'm hearing today, even just working in the reception, is that a lot of these chairs feel valued.
00:18:31.000 There hasn't been any organization or even the RNC, unfortunately, hasn't really poured into these county chairs.
00:18:38.000 So them having a conference where we're teaching them how to win in their county is paramount to the success of this great, great nation.
00:18:48.000 Yeah, so we're hiring up big time at Turning Point Action, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people.
00:18:53.000 Right.
00:18:54.000 And we've raised the capital, not as much as we'd like to, but we've done very well, praise God.
00:18:58.000 A lot of people have stepped up very generously.
00:19:00.000 And you know who you are in the audience.
00:19:01.000 You guys have made some big gifts.
00:19:02.000 And thank you for that.
00:19:03.000 But typically, if the RNC were to hire, let's say in Arizona, do they hire Arizonans?
00:19:09.000 Sometimes.
00:19:11.000 But for most cases, you'll see that organizations will hire people from anywhere to come down to states like Arizona.
00:19:17.000 For instance, when I was working in Georgia, we had people like myself in Arizona, but New Yorkers or people from the East Coast come down to Georgia.
00:19:26.000 The ethos wasn't there, Charlie, right?
00:19:29.000 When I was talking to people in Georgia, they knew I was not from there.
00:19:33.000 I was walking in the western part of Georgia, and I did not look like any of them.
00:19:38.000 No offense.
00:19:39.000 They're different cultures.
00:19:40.000 I mean, no offense to you.
00:19:42.000 They're great people.
00:19:42.000 I didn't have the culture.
00:19:43.000 There's not a lot of Martinezes.
00:19:44.000 I'm going to say this.
00:19:45.000 I went to a restaurant.
00:19:47.000 I asked for a tea.
00:19:48.000 I asked for unsweetened tea.
00:19:50.000 Apparently, there, that's a big no-no.
00:19:53.000 That's called Yankee tea, right?
00:19:54.000 But the reason I bring this up, Charlie, is that we want to hire people from their state.
00:19:59.000 We want to hire Arizonans who work in Arizona.
00:20:02.000 We want to hire Wisconsinites who work in Wisconsin.
00:20:04.000 We want to hire Georgians who work in Georgian.
00:20:07.000 And we want to even break it down even to smaller regions.
00:20:11.000 We want to find out if someone is living in Scottsdale.
00:20:14.000 We want to hire them in Scottsdale.
00:20:16.000 There's no reason for us to hire someone from South Phoenix to work in Scottsdale.
00:20:20.000 And likewise, there's no reason for us to hire someone from Atlanta to work in Noonan, Georgia, right?
00:20:25.000 So we want to hire people from the regions because they know their neighbors the best.
00:20:29.000 They know that community best.
00:20:31.000 And that's how we win.
00:20:32.000 This is all by relationship building.
00:20:35.000 Being neighborly is what's going to separate our program from other programs in the country.
00:20:41.000 And that's the impetus of why we're going to be hiring people from their neighborhoods in their region.
00:20:47.000 It gives you home field advantage.
00:20:48.000 Yeah.
00:20:49.000 So just, do you know how many full-time field staff does the RNC have on the ground in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia?
00:20:55.000 It's one right now, two in Wisconsin.
00:20:58.000 I'm not sure about Georgia.
00:20:59.000 And how many are we going to have by May?
00:21:03.000 It depends on where they want to see things, where they're going to allocate money.
00:21:08.000 No, Turning Point Action.
00:21:09.000 Oh, we're going to be hiring about maybe close to 200, 250 here in Arizona just by May.
00:21:15.000 Yes.
00:21:16.000 And then we're going to have people, 100 people or more in Wisconsin by May.
00:21:20.000 So we're excited about that.
00:21:21.000 And then after that, we're going to be hiring Georgia.
00:21:24.000 So if we can raise the capital, we got to, you know, Georgia's not the easiest state.
00:21:29.000 Like you said, it takes someone from Georgia to run it well.
00:21:33.000 It would be my preference not to do Georgia.
00:21:35.000 I would love to just do Arizona, Wisconsin.
00:21:37.000 But so you said 200 in Arizona.
00:21:40.000 That's right.
00:21:40.000 100 in Wisconsin.
00:21:41.000 That's 300, 350 full-time people.
00:21:42.000 And I just want to make sure I understood this.
00:21:44.000 You said the RNC maybe has one or two.
00:21:45.000 They have one or two state directors right now in these states.
00:21:48.000 But they raise more money than we do at Turning Point Action.
00:21:51.000 How are we able to raise three flories and alcohol with the RNC?
00:21:56.000 But with the money that we're going to be using for our ballot chasing is to knock doors and talk to low-propensity Republicans in strategic areas.
00:22:05.000 And that's what also separates our program from other people or other organizations.
00:22:09.000 We broke down precinct by precinct in every 10 of the battleground states exactly where we need to be.
00:22:17.000 For instance, there's organizations that will hire people in where the largest population centers are, right?
00:22:22.000 They'll hire people in Wayne County or Michigan.
00:22:26.000 Michigan.
00:22:26.000 Yeah, Wayne County, Michigan, or Fulton County, Georgia.
00:22:30.000 But that's not necessarily where Republican voters are.
00:22:33.000 Low propensity Republicans.
00:22:34.000 So let's talk about Arizona.
00:22:35.000 And by the way, you've done a really great job, Matthew.
00:22:37.000 I look at all your work, whether you know it or not, and I get all these reports from Tyler, and it's amazing.
00:22:42.000 And my mind was kind of blown because in Arizona, you would think that the, you know, we have to hire a bunch of people in downtown Phoenix.
00:22:50.000 But what did the data show?
00:22:51.000 Where did the data show that we are underperforming low-propensity Republicans?
00:22:55.000 I'm glad you asked that.
00:22:57.000 This is where I was shocked.
00:22:59.000 And I remember telling Tyler this, and we were both shocked.
00:23:02.000 And you had to rerun the numbers, right?
00:23:04.000 No, Tyler's like, nope, run it again.
00:23:06.000 Where are these precincts?
00:23:07.000 I know there's some in Scottsdale.
00:23:09.000 There wasn't many in Scottsdale, nor in Tempe.
00:23:13.000 Actually, there was probably two or three Super Chase precincts in Tempe where we're seeing a lot of low-propensity Republican voters on the outskirts of Phoenix.
00:23:22.000 So if you are a politico or if you worked on campaigns in Arizona, you know that the outskirts of Phoenix are very Republican.
00:23:30.000 You don't see too many staffers go out to Mesa or out to Queen Creek or Westside or Glendale.
00:23:36.000 Glendale, Peorio, or Sun City.
00:23:39.000 Yes.
00:23:39.000 Yeah.
00:23:40.000 Or Wickenberg, right?
00:23:41.000 Wickenberg is a big one.
00:23:43.000 Cave Creek.
00:23:43.000 Cave Creek.
00:23:44.000 Anthem.
00:23:45.000 So just so everyone understands, and we could get a map of Phoenix.
00:23:48.000 I know it pretty well.
00:23:49.000 And I have one here.
00:23:49.000 Yeah, no, please show it right here.
00:23:51.000 And by the way, just so everyone understands, look at, I want to show something here.
00:23:53.000 This is our chase the vote thing.
00:23:55.000 And by the way, the media is like, they're like, oh, what are you doing?
00:23:58.000 We actually, we're very public about everything that we do, right?
00:24:01.000 So there's like, there's no like clandestine thing here.
00:24:03.000 There's no secret.
00:24:03.000 By the way, these are all the precincts.
00:24:05.000 Look at these numbers that Matthew has crunched.
00:24:06.000 It's all public available data.
00:24:09.000 People are underperforming.
00:24:10.000 But no, I want people to understand.
00:24:12.000 In the metro area of Phoenix, typically the traditional campaign of the orthodoxy that was run is, hey, the Hinterlands will show up.
00:24:21.000 Don't focus on it.
00:24:22.000 Correct.
00:24:23.000 Focus all your money on swing voters in Scottsdale.
00:24:26.000 And or if you're going to ballot chase, ballot chase where the most people are.
00:24:29.000 But by proportion, where we are underperforming is on the outskirts of Maricopa County.
00:24:36.000 Where no one has ever knocked before, or really rarely, right?
00:24:41.000 And this is the RNC model or actually campaign models too, where they focus on the competitive areas.
00:24:47.000 Last cycle, you saw a lot of campaigns.
00:24:49.000 And even when I ran Kerry Lakesfield operations, I was looking at the competitive areas.
00:24:55.000 I wasn't really looking for Mesa or for any of these outskirts because I thought these Republicans were going to be voting.
00:25:01.000 That's where we went wrong, Charlie, is that we thought that these Republicans were just going to cast their ballots anyways, but they didn't.
00:25:08.000 Many of these suburban moms in Chandler left their ballot at home, right?
00:25:13.000 Because we assume these people are going to vote.
00:25:14.000 Correct.
00:25:15.000 Remember, this is a contest where the higher score wins and we're leaving easy points on the board.
00:25:20.000 And we would think the data shows, hey, you guys have really squeezed the orange enough in Queen Creek.
00:25:24.000 If you don't know Queen Creek, it's a very half of Queen Creek is in Maricopa, half of it's in Pittnell County, right?
00:25:29.000 Very conservative, very, very, you would think that, hey, don't need to spend time on it.
00:25:33.000 Those people are going to show up.
00:25:34.000 No, there's plumbers, electricians, welders, gun owners, hunters, low-propensity voters that they need a nudge.
00:25:42.000 They need attention.
00:25:42.000 And we've never given them attention.
00:25:44.000 Or someone just say, hey, I know your ballot's on your kitchen counter.
00:25:47.000 Let's go walk it.
00:25:49.000 Or here's the place you should drop it off today.
00:25:52.000 Or if you want to vote in person day of the election, here's the information.
00:25:55.000 But no one's doing that.
00:25:56.000 We are the first organization in the country to be doing this large-scale ballot chasing operation.
00:26:02.000 And we're going to be hiring the most amount of people in the country.
00:26:06.000 This is going to be the largest and most robust ballot chasing operation in America today.
00:26:12.000 But going back to just that Phoenix example, we were shocked to see where these Republican voters were located on the outskirts of Phoenix.
00:26:22.000 So we're going to be emphasizing a lot in those areas.
00:26:25.000 So if you live in the outskirts of Phoenix and Backey or May State.
00:26:31.000 By the way, their population has increased dramatically in the last couple of years.
00:26:34.000 The trend in Phoenix is to go further out and further out.
00:26:36.000 That's a growth area.
00:26:37.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:26:38.000 It's the outskirts of the valley.
00:26:40.000 The north and south sides are pretty much landlocked.
00:26:42.000 There's mountains all around.
00:26:43.000 So they're going vertical.
00:26:44.000 They're going vertical.
00:26:45.000 And which means it's more liberal.
00:26:46.000 Yes, sir.
00:26:47.000 Unfortunately.
00:26:48.000 And we should do something there.
00:26:49.000 We shouldn't ignore it.
00:26:50.000 But I mean, first of all, talk about it's very difficult to navigate an eight-story building.
00:26:56.000 Yes.
00:26:56.000 Right.
00:26:56.000 So in Old Town, they have all these new buildings.
00:26:59.000 How are you going to door knock?
00:27:00.000 Very tough, right?
00:27:01.000 It is very tough.
00:27:02.000 But that's, I'm glad you bring that up because many of those apartment voters are not necessarily registered or they're registered Democrats.
00:27:11.000 Right.
00:27:11.000 So that's another thing our analysis shows.
00:27:13.000 We're focused on where these Republican voters are.
00:27:16.000 So the idea of this is that we want to hire people who are what we call a four by four Republican, meaning they vote religiously.
00:27:24.000 They vote every cycle.
00:27:25.000 These are our superstar activists to talk to their Republican neighbors as well.
00:27:31.000 We're not really seeing too many Republican voters in downtown Phoenix, right?
00:27:36.000 In these skyscraper buildings.
00:27:37.000 I got to interrupt.
00:27:38.000 A minute remaining.
00:27:39.000 The Democrats, they have, We're so behind because the Democrats, what they've done is they run up the score in their most liberal areas, college campuses, urban corridors, minority neighborhoods.
00:27:49.000 Is that correct?
00:27:50.000 Yes.
00:27:51.000 And this is one of the reasons why the polling and the modeling has been messing with our heads, right?
00:27:55.000 Of course, there's all the shenanigans and the nonsense and the garbage, and I want to talk about that, right?
00:27:59.000 All the stealing.
00:28:00.000 But in addition to that, they emphasize the most liberal areas to get 95%, 97% turnout.
00:28:07.000 It's just a turnout game.
00:28:08.000 That's all it is.
00:28:09.000 This next cycle is all about turnout.
00:28:11.000 It's not even persuasion.
00:28:12.000 It's not about indies.
00:28:14.000 Carl Roe said it's all about winning over people in the middle.
00:28:17.000 Yeah.
00:28:18.000 It's wrong.
00:28:19.000 That's not the model that we're following.
00:28:20.000 I know he's wrong because he hasn't actually crunched the numbers because that's an antiquated belief, isn't it?
00:28:25.000 That's how things used to operate.
00:28:27.000 But this is new campaigning.
00:28:29.000 We can't campaign the same campaigns in the 1980s or 1990s.
00:28:33.000 This is modern campaigning, and this is all about turnout.
00:28:37.000 So we're going to focus on making sure that Republicans who receive their ballot drop off the ballot.
00:28:42.000 Some of you are asking, how can I support?
00:28:43.000 How can I get behind the work that you guys are doing?

00:30:11.000 Great to see you.
00:30:12.000 Gonna pull it up a little.
00:30:13.000 We'll talk in just a second about Georgia and election integrity.
00:30:16.000 And we also have Matthew Martinez.
00:30:17.000 I want the audience to know, what's the website for Tea Party Patriots?
00:30:21.000 TeapartyPatriots.org.

00:30:28.000 That's tpaction.com.
00:30:30.000 We're really going to be focused on Arizona, Wisconsin, and potentially Georgia.
00:30:33.000 I want to talk about with Jenny Beth there.
00:30:36.000 You have to win Georgia, and the entire Trump campaign needs to be all in on that.
00:30:40.000 That's been our takeaway message.
00:30:42.000 You guys can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:30:44.000 We're getting lots of emails.
00:30:45.000 Charlie, how do I attend?
00:30:46.000 How do I attend?
00:30:47.000 There will be events in the future that you can attend, trust me.
00:30:49.000 But this is really for the people that are currently in leadership, precinct committeemen.
00:30:54.000 They are state party chairs.
00:30:55.000 They are really making the machinery of the party work.
00:30:59.000 And we're going to be broadcasting much of this live on our Rumble page on Real America's Voice here tonight.
00:31:04.000 So email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:31:07.000 We're going to continue on this discussion specifically around election integrity and securing our elections.
00:31:12.000 I'm not going to say who, just to protect her privacy, but one of the viewers is so moved by what we just said.
00:31:18.000 They're pledging $100,000 to what we're doing.
00:31:20.000 Isn't that great?
00:31:20.000 Well, thank you.
00:31:21.000 Praise you very much.
00:31:22.000 That's a big deal.
00:31:23.000 So thank you in the audience there.
00:31:25.000 And we will protect your anonymity.
00:31:27.000 Jenny Beth, talk about Georgia.
00:31:29.000 We have to win Georgia.
00:31:30.000 What is the biggest missing piece for us to win in Georgia?
00:31:32.000 Well, I think the biggest missing piece to win in Georgia and around the entire country right now is learning what the Democrats did between 2020 and 2021 in the Osoff campaign.
00:31:44.000 They did relational organizing.
00:31:47.000 And that is basically an amped up, modernized friends and family program.
00:31:51.000 And so everything that you guys were already talking about, we have to make sure that we are positioning that so we are reaching targeted voters who we already know and have relationships with and then chasing the vote through reaching out to our friends and our family.
00:32:07.000 And I think that's one of the most important things we're missing.
00:32:09.000 I'm going to be talking about that this afternoon.
00:32:12.000 What do you see as a way that we can secure our election and renew people's, including my own confidence in the integrity of our election?
00:32:19.000 So in Georgia, Arizona is a challenge, but I think that Arizona is in a good spot because of Gina just being elected as the state party chairman.
00:32:29.000 She is an election integrity expert.
00:32:31.000 She's wonderful.
00:32:32.000 She gets the problems and she's going to help in Arizona tremendously.
00:32:36.000 In Georgia and in other states around the country, we've been working very closely with Cleta Mitchell's organization, Election Integrity Network, building election integrity task forces in the states that had the most trouble around the country, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and so on.
00:32:54.000 Those groups are looking at how to clean the voter rolls.
00:32:57.000 They're making sure that poll watchers are recruited and trained.
00:33:01.000 They're deploying poll workers, making sure people go work the polls.
00:33:05.000 They're paying attention to the election process.
00:33:08.000 And when there is a problem with the election process, they're going to the board of elections and trying to correct it before voting starts.
00:33:14.000 And then, Charlie, here's a story that I like to lean on when people say, oh, I can't trust anything about the election.
00:33:21.000 In Georgia, in 2022, in the primary in DeKalb County, which is a heavily Democrat county, they had an issue and a woman came in third.
00:33:31.000 And that woman who came in third realized she had zero votes in her own precinct.
00:33:36.000 She was a Democrat.
00:33:37.000 She came in third.
00:33:38.000 She raised questions about it.
00:33:40.000 And because the Election Integrity Network was set up, they had built relationships with the election board.
00:33:45.000 They all stepped in to help out this Democrat woman who was saying, something's wrong.
00:33:49.000 I voted for myself in my own precinct and it's not even recording my vote.
00:33:54.000 They re-scanned the ballots.
00:33:55.000 They re-scanned the ballots.
00:33:56.000 Ultimately, they did a hand count.
00:33:58.000 She came in first.
00:33:59.000 There was an issue where someone had dropped off the ballot and a human error did not correct it everywhere in the very complicated voting equipment systems that we have, the computers.
00:34:11.000 So it wound up making her come in third.
00:34:13.000 But because the hand counted it, she came in first.
00:34:15.000 She was entitled to go onto a runoff and today she is a Democrat County Commissioner in DeKalb County, Georgia.
00:34:22.000 That kind of model of building relationships, knowing what to do when there is a problem, helping out whether it's our side of the aisle or the other side of the aisle so that we can build faith in the outcome of the elections is how we are going to solve this problem.
00:34:36.000 And everyone needs to consider stepping up to volunteer.
00:34:40.000 If not with chasing ballots, then be a poll watcher.
00:34:43.000 Talk about really quick, Matthew, what Gina's going to do in Arizona.
00:34:46.000 She's terrific.
00:34:46.000 Oh, she's wonderful.
00:34:47.000 And Gina and I have worked with each other in the past since I think 2020.
00:34:54.000 She was there with the Kerry Lake campaign, and she's just been wonderful.
00:34:58.000 So she knows about our operation.
00:35:00.000 She's seen the data.
00:35:01.000 She knows how exciting this is for Arizona, that we have an actual game plan to win back Phoenix, to win back our state.
00:35:10.000 This is an election that's determined by just margins of numbers, right?
00:35:14.000 Kerry unfortunately lost by 17,000 votes, right?
00:35:17.000 That's how close elections are.
00:35:19.000 President Trump in 2020, 10,000 votes.
00:35:22.000 If we just had a fraction of ballot chasing last cycle for Kerry or for Trump in 2020, we would see victories all over the state.
00:35:31.000 At the end of the day, there are Republicans who are not voting, and Gina knows that.
00:35:35.000 So she has read through these textbooks.
00:35:38.000 She's seen the data.
00:35:40.000 She knows exactly where we need to hire and where the AZGOP needs to be to do.
00:35:45.000 I love it.
00:35:45.000 Matthew Martinez, Jenny Beth, Martin, thank you guys.
00:35:47.000 We're going to be broadcasting the whole event here.
00:35:50.000 And Jenny Beth, you're doing a session later today on relational organization.
00:35:54.000 We have to win Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
00:35:56.000 We're going to keep on saying it.
00:35:57.000 We've been saying it for a year now.
00:35:58.000 Those are the three most important states.
00:35:59.000 Thank you both.
00:36:00.000 Thank you.
00:36:00.000 Thank you.
00:36:03.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
