00:00:25.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:26.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:28.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:35.000 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.
00:00:43.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:14.000 Please take a seat.
00:01:15.000 Thank you.
00:01:29.000 I love it.
00:01:30.000 Welcome, everybody, to the People's Convention 2024.
00:01:39.000 It is an amazing story and journey how we ended up in Detroit, Michigan, of all places.
00:01:48.000 They told us, don't do an event in Detroit, don't do an event in Michigan.
00:01:53.000 But at turning point, we do the tough battles to save America.
00:01:58.000 And what you are going to see in the next couple of days will make international news.
00:02:07.000 You are going to hear from the biggest speakers in the movement, from Candace Owens, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump.
00:02:24.000 This convention is for you.
00:02:28.000 I was concerned that the everyday American does not have a convention.
00:02:33.000 We love the RNC convention happening in Milwaukee.
00:02:36.000 In fact, we're going to be on stage with Laura Trump soon talking about that, and they should be in Milwaukee.
00:02:41.000 But at Turning Point Action, we wanted to put on an event, a training that is for you, the citizen, that is for we, the people, that is for a restoration of this republic.
00:02:54.000 In the next couple of days, you will be challenged.
00:02:58.000 You will be encouraged.
00:02:59.000 We have over a hundred trainings happening in the next couple of days of how you secure your local elections, how you can chase ballots, how you can register voters, how you could start a turning point USA chapter, how you could start a turning point academy homeschool organization, how you can become a force multiplier.
00:03:20.000 At the People's Convention, this is going to be the end of spectator politics.
00:03:27.000 No longer will we have the attitude where we just watch politics on a screen.
00:03:35.000 Instead, we are going to make a commitment that this year, this calendar year, will be the hardest year we have ever worked.
00:03:45.000 That we will not forget the injustice of 2020, and we will avenge that this November in the state of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Florida.
00:04:04.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:04:05.000 Debt.
00:04:05.000 It keeps you tossing and turning at night.
00:04:07.000 You can't get away from it.
00:04:08.000 But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.
00:04:11.000 Insanely high-interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
00:04:16.000 There's a way out of the debt trap at Zero Debt USA.
00:04:19.000 You've heard me talk about pivotal debt solutions.
00:04:21.000 Well, now they're Zero Debt USA.
00:04:24.000 And they have new aggressive strategies that can end your debt faster and easier than you thought possible.

00:05:07.000 You see, the struggle in front of us is a question bigger than Trump versus Biden.
00:05:14.000 And trust me, I love Donald Trump and I love what he's fighting for.
00:05:17.000 But it is bigger than Donald Trump.
00:05:20.000 This is a question of the structure of government that we are going to have.
00:05:27.000 We are told that we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy, by the way, a constitutional republic.
00:05:34.000 A very important distinction.
00:05:37.000 However, our country looks more and more like an oligarchy and not a constitutional republic.
00:05:46.000 There is a small group of people, sometimes in both political parties, that continue to do things that are unpopular with the American people, that are bad for our everyday livelihoods, and they want to tell you who can become president.
00:06:04.000 The reason why Donald Trump is facing 700 years in federal prison is because he has given you a voice in this equation, that he has brought you into the room.
00:06:17.000 The reason why they have thrown everything they can at this man and will continue to do that is that you are not supposed to care as much as you do.
00:06:30.000 They want to go back to the failed politics of 2004 and 2008, where a small group of bipartisan politicians keep on doing the same thing over and over again.
00:06:42.000 This event is a statement to the leaders of both political parties that we, the people, are back in charge and we are going to send a triumphant message.
00:06:58.000 But it's going to require you.
00:07:01.000 And here is the message you're going to hear over and over again: Donald Trump is not here to save you.
00:07:08.000 You have to save Donald Trump to save the country.
00:07:11.000 It's a big difference.
00:07:15.000 What does that mean?
00:07:18.000 It is tempting and easy to say he's going to fight for me.
00:07:21.000 He will.
00:07:22.000 But first, you must fight for him.
00:07:24.000 You must go register new voters.
00:07:26.000 You must find low-propensity voters in your life and get them registered to vote.
00:07:32.000 According to new polling, the people least likely to vote are the most pro-Trump in this election.
00:07:41.000 That means if we don't do a good job of driving turnout, if we don't do a good job of owning our neighborhoods, if we don't do a good job of registering new voters, dare I say in November, we might hear those bitter words, and you need to tattoo this in your memory.
00:08:01.000 They might say that Joe Biden is re-elected as another term as president of the United States.
00:08:09.000 I agree with you.
00:08:11.000 That reaction should drive you to action.
00:08:15.000 I will not be able to live with myself and look at my now two kids, by the way.
00:08:21.000 We just welcome baby boy, two kids.
00:08:25.000 I will not be able to look at them five years, ten years, 15 years from now, and tell them that I took it easy in the year of 2024.
00:08:36.000 It is the hardest year I have personally ever worked.
00:08:40.000 It is the hardest we at Turning Point have ever worked.
00:08:43.000 We are doing ballot chasing trainings all across the country.
00:08:47.000 We are hiring the largest ever ballot chasing class in Arizona, Wisconsin, and here in Michigan.
00:08:54.000 We are registering tens of thousands of new, low-propensity voters and bringing them out.
00:09:02.000 We are engaging the grassroots in coalitions, faith coalition, moms coalition, health workers coalition.
00:09:10.000 We are building communities of trust so that we are able to deploy effectively in November.
00:09:17.000 But if you leave this event with just a bunch of cool merch and a couple friends and a commitment to vote, you're doing it wrong.
00:09:26.000 Instead, you need to leave this event with a battle plan.
00:09:33.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:09:35.000 Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right?
00:09:40.000 Well, one thing your dog can't do without you is improve their diet or health to feel their best.
00:09:46.000 That is why I believe Rough Greens could dramatically help your best friend by adding what is missing to their diet like you do.
00:09:53.000 Rough Greens is helping thousands and thousands of dogs feel better and live longer, including my dog, Mr. Briggs, who loves it.
00:10:02.000 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, who created Rough Greens, is also an airborne ranger and green beret, an amazing background.
00:10:08.000 He loves dogs and is on a mission to help as many as he can.
00:10:12.000 Dog food is dead, and Rough Greens supplements your dog's food with existing vitamins and minerals, omega oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and antioxidants.
00:10:23.000 Dr. Black is offering you a free Jumpstart trial bag to fetch your free Jumpstart trial bag.
00:10:28.000 Just cover shipping.
00:10:29.000 Don't change your dog's food.
00:10:31.000 Just go to roughgreens.com/slash Kirk, R-U-F-Greens.com/slash Kirk.
00:10:37.000 You need to leave this event saying, Charlie, I'm going to give everything I can because here is my belief.
00:10:44.000 Duty is ours, and the result is the Lord's.
00:10:48.000 We do our part, and we trust in God for the rest.
00:10:53.000 And that is a very important thing because God will not honor our laziness if we think being apathetic going into November is going to save the country.
00:11:08.000 It's about using your agency, using your ability to act.
00:11:14.000 And we're going to show you exactly how to do that.
00:11:18.000 I'm going to close with this because we got to get right into our speakers.
00:11:20.000 We got to move our program up.
00:11:22.000 And you're going to hear more and more from us throughout the evening.
00:11:25.000 What a time to be alive.
00:11:28.000 There are two ways to look at this.
00:11:33.000 The first way is, boy, the country's falling apart.
00:11:37.000 We got 3.5 million illegals coming across the southern border.
00:11:40.000 We've got 36 trillion dollars in debt.
00:11:43.000 We're sending all this money overseas to Ukraine that we should not be sending.
00:11:48.000 They're indicting Donald Trump for 700 years in federal prison.
00:11:51.000 Our fertility rate is collapsing.
00:11:53.000 What's the point?
00:11:55.000 That's the first way to look at it.
00:11:57.000 That's how losers look at things.
00:12:00.000 Oh, by the way, can I add to the list?
00:12:01.000 The election is rigged.
00:12:03.000 What does it matter?
00:12:05.000 The second way is: wow, look at all these problems.
00:12:09.000 All of them are fixable because we're doing it to ourselves.
00:12:15.000 And thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving us the ability to live in such a time as this.
00:12:22.000 Oh, 3.5 million illegals at the southern border.
00:12:25.000 We can fix that and do the largest deportation effort in the history of the country.
00:12:30.000 Oh, we're borrowing 36 trillion.
00:12:36.000 We borrowed $36 trillion.
00:12:37.000 We're going to cut spending and balance the budget because debt is a choice.
00:12:41.000 Sending money to Ukraine, we don't have to do that anymore.
00:12:45.000 Fertility crisis, we can reverse that and create a culture where young people get married and have children again and reverse the fertility collapse.
00:12:56.000 We have a choice.
00:12:58.000 Choice A is a defeatist, negative attitude that the bad guys want you to embrace.
00:13:05.000 Choice B is to thank God that you get to be alive and have breath, where the future of the greatest nation ever to exist hangs in the balance.
00:13:17.000 Every conversation, every new voter you register, every time you get to work and you do the clipboard and tennis shoes type of effort, you get to smile at your heavenly father and say thank you for using me to try to save this country.
00:13:33.000 God bless you guys and enjoy the People's Convention.
00:13:37.000 Thank you so much.
