00:01:19.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:01.000And I just, I'm so impressed by the focus and the energy that I see here.
00:02:08.000You know, one of the main reasons that we decided to do this, and as many of you know, it takes a fair amount of chutzpah to put on an event that says restoring national confidence.
00:02:56.000And I said, Tyler, you know, what's going on?
00:02:59.000You know, do you think that we're making the necessary investments?
00:03:02.000Is the you know the establishment doing what they need to do?
00:03:05.000He said, honestly, I don't see it happening.
00:03:07.000I said, what can we do to kind of draw attention to this in a positive way?
00:03:10.000You know, we're not here to mock or to condemn, or we're here to try to raise the level of excellence because we think competition drives excellence.
00:03:18.000We believe that if something isn't getting done, you know, I do three hours of radio and I complain a lot, but I'm allowed to complain because we also do a lot.
00:03:27.000So it's not just because we have high school chapters, college chapters, we have TPUSA Faith, we have all sorts of amazing stuff.
00:03:34.000So I asked Tyler, I said, is there really that kind of grassroots infrastructure?
00:03:58.000And I said, well, why don't we just host our own meeting?
00:04:02.000And why don't we just, and he said, well, you know, I said, look, we can go to some donors and raise some money and, you know, scholarship some of the county chairs.
00:04:11.000And turning point action is really starting to grow.
00:04:14.000And we have a lot to offer because, you know, we've organized in the hardest possible environments on college campuses.
00:04:20.000And I said, why don't we try to do this?
00:04:22.000He said, you know, Charlie, they're going to try to put out a hit on us.
00:08:59.000One of the ways, and one of my fears, and we have to try, Donald Trump is the only reason we're going to have good base turnout, is there are a lot of people out there that will not show up to vote for Republicans because when they show up to vote for Republicans, they are consistently underwhelmed by what they get in Washington, D.C.
00:09:15.000Now, thankfully, Donald Trump will solve a lot of that problem.
00:09:17.000I hope you understand what I'm saying.
00:09:19.000If it wasn't for Trump on the ticket, you would have a 10 to 15% undervote problem in many of your states.
00:09:26.000That he will heal a lot of the distrust of the Washington.
00:09:30.000And by the way, that's a longer-term problem because there's only so many times Trump can be on the top of the ticket where the base of our party says, you know, I'm not going to go vote for this.
00:09:37.000I'm not going to go vote for that because they don't trust the politicians there.
00:11:02.000Because you're always hurting people and trying to keep people happy and all this.
00:11:07.000And I want to just say on behalf of the millions of people that are watching, thank you guys for doing what you do because it's not thankless.
00:11:20.000President Trump himself, I was just speaking to him.
00:11:22.000He loves what is happening across the country and he loves to see this kind of grassroots fire and energy.
00:11:30.000And by the way, he works so hard as a candidate and what they're throwing against him, this $83 million judgment, they're taking his business empire away from him, it makes me want to fight even harder for him.
00:11:41.000It makes me want to fight even harder for him.
00:11:46.000So that's part of the takeaways that we really want to encourage you guys here.
00:11:51.000Also, we want you to think creatively.
00:11:53.000And that's part of why we're doing this summit.
00:11:56.000One of the reasons why Turning Point USA has now grown into the largest grassroots Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action into the largest grassroots organization on the right is we asked the question and then we didn't like the answer and then we just did the thing you weren't supposed to do.
00:12:13.00011 years ago, I asked the question, which is, why is all the youth outreach like so pathetic and boring and stodgy and not interesting?
00:12:22.000And the answer was, eh, young people are a waste of time.
00:12:26.000And like, yeah, we'll do some like campus lectures and just like, don't waste your time.
00:13:24.000But the young men are in a much better spot.
00:13:27.000So we're seeing that there's all this good movement.
00:13:28.000And I could tell you time and time again: we ask the question: if we don't like the answer, we go do it ourselves.
00:13:33.000Because at the core, Tyler, myself, the whole team, we're entrepreneurs.
00:13:37.000We are entrepreneurs in a very bureaucratic, dare I say, ossified political system where people get upset if you show up and do things differently.
00:15:05.000But some dogmas are like, well, that's really, that doesn't work and that's not working for us and we should do things differently.
00:15:11.000And you're on the front lines because challenging those pre-existing power structures in a way that's analytical and fair and is prudent is going to create this amazing ripple effect when all of you go home to your counties and to your state party chairs.
00:15:26.000And all of a sudden we have hundreds of you be these entrepreneur change makers full of energy, full of spirit, full of gusto in 2024 to move forward what is necessary to be a grassroots win.
00:15:40.000Then we'll do some questions here, which is that in 2024, this year, and I see my friend Rich Porter here from the great state of Illinois, which is the good thing about being from Illinois is that there's term limits in Illinois, one term in office, one term in jail.
00:16:05.000I've known some good folks there for a while.
00:16:10.000Every single one of your states matter.
00:16:12.000Every part of you, I know there's a big focus on Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
00:16:15.000We could talk about the grassroots network.
00:16:16.000We could talk about the infrastructure that's being built.
00:16:19.000And we just want to try to bring a positive vision to the table because it would be a shame and a tragedy.
00:16:27.000And here's what I'll say: if we kept on doing what we're doing and we kept on be given assurances, and we end up the day after whatever, how long it takes to find out the election results in this third world counting system we have, and we fall 5,000 votes short.
00:16:43.000And all of a sudden, we'll have to live with whatever regime that is.
00:16:47.000And here's my one thing for you: there's no guarantee we're going to win.
00:16:51.000There's no guarantee we're going to lose.
00:16:53.000But there is a guarantee that you can collapse at the finish line.
00:16:57.000That you could give everything you can.
00:16:59.000That when you watch those election results come in, you can live with yourself and say, you know what?
00:17:09.000Because I wouldn't, if we fell 5,000 votes short in one state in Wisconsin, by the way, this thing is looking like it's going to be on the margins, the margins.
00:17:15.000Anyone who tells you what's going to happen, this is going to be the goofiest.
00:17:18.000By the way, I bet they have something planned for us.
00:17:21.000I just, I don't know, even, I don't even want to speculate what that is, but brace for impact, everybody, because, you know, it's just the whole thing is awfully suspicious, right?
00:17:28.000Anyway, yeah, well, that's an interesting take.
00:17:33.000So she says, stock up on toilet paper.
00:17:36.000I didn't go there immediately, but that's unique.
00:18:39.000That's a separate issue for a different time.
00:18:42.000You got to make sure they're organized.
00:18:44.000When you all of a sudden you are dead tired in Iowa and you got to drive all the way across your beautiful state in a blizzard, right?
00:18:53.000To make sure that the bickering in one of your counties ends and you are the facilitator of peace, yes, you have to go do that.
00:19:02.000And all of that, your combined, that extra mile, that extra effort, when all of a sudden you get that little voice in your head, nah, just sleep in, take the nap.
00:19:34.000Pascal's wager, by the way, is that the belief in God has no downside, but not believing in God has a lot of downsides, so you might as well believe in God.
00:19:42.000It's the same thing with voting, right?
00:19:51.000No, I call this the election integrity wager, which is not voting is a guarantee the bad guys win, but voting at least gives you a chance that we can win, right?
00:20:01.000So and so you're and that's right, it's biblical.
00:20:07.000And so you say, yes, sir, I know you think that way.
00:20:09.000And after 20 minutes, you convince him he's going to get there and go organize and do those things.
00:20:14.000That call matters, even though you might be exhausted on no sleep and your kids might be crying, but you know that you're going to have to do that work.
00:20:22.000And I want to make sure you understand, that we understand that that sort of work feels so unappreciated, the day-to-day kind of drama juggling you have to deal with.
00:21:09.000And I appreciate, and I just wanted to say thank you on a separate topic.
00:21:14.000I just wanted to say thank you for being willing to blaze new ground.
00:21:17.000And this month, talking about one of the, shall we say, the secular saints of the left and talking about the real history of the last 50 years of the United States.
00:21:27.000I know a lot of boomer donors may have given you a text like, man, you're attacking one of my heroes.
00:21:33.000We can't beat the left if we're not willing to attack the public.
00:21:45.000Outside of one donor, it was very, very well received, which tells me we have the best donors ever at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:21:56.000And by the way, we have 300,000 donors now at Turning Point USA, one of the greatest grassroots armies of small dollar donors in the entire country.
00:24:17.000We are producing, thanks to the glory and generosity of the Lord, an unbelievable army of people that are going to just be pushing forward in every community across the country.
00:25:19.000The conventional wisdom is that in Arizona, we are losing the kind of suburban soccer moms, and that's the easiest that we need to deploy funding.
00:25:29.000We are losing them, but the low-hanging fruit is we're actually underperforming in the outskirts of Maricopa County, in Wickenburg, in Buckeye, in Queen Creek, in traditional Republican strongholds that don't get canvassed and they don't get worked because people think they're hard R.
00:25:44.000This is turning more and more into a turnout election and less and less like a persuasion election.
00:25:50.000And that is different than the consensus.
00:25:52.000The consensus will tell you it's all about winning the middle.
00:25:58.000However, what if I told you you're not actually solidifying and maxing out your base?
00:26:03.000And the Democrats have done this very, very well by embracing radical positions on abortion, trans, and climate, and guns.
00:26:11.000They're able to micro-target through relational organizing that I know you guys learned about today through an early voting period, right, voting month, the ability to target micro-target canvas and chase the ballots of these low-propensity Democrat type voters.
00:26:26.000If we embrace that even a little bit, our hypothesis is that for people that are low-propensity potential Republican voters, people that have hunting permits, they own firearms, plumbers, electricians, welders, people of faith, it's very well worth a robust attempt to try to max out these traditional Republican areas that the turnout is not even close to what it should be.
00:26:48.000In fact, you go to the Democrat strongholds, what is the turnout in Clark County?
00:26:55.000Yeah, so there's no reason why Clark County, which by the way, I don't believe that goes to show the crookedness of the state, that Clark County has a higher turnout than the rurals, right?
00:27:04.000The rules, if the rules turned out, or your own thing, 5% more Adam Laxalt would be the U.S. Senator for Nevada.
00:28:30.000One, I want to say, as a Generation Z Republican, thank you for the work that you're doing with what was put on here today.
00:28:37.000I was blown away and I was very impressed.
00:28:40.000Can't wait to get home and introduce everything that I've learned here today.
00:28:45.000The question I have is: one, the Democrats are very well at using influencers to get out momentum and volunteers for their local organizations.
00:28:56.000And I don't think that the RNC is utilizing our conservative influencers to the best of their ability, especially when it comes to the amount of chairs that we have from across the country that are doing phenomenal work and the issues that we keep running into.
00:29:12.000That there are people who have no idea we exist as organizations or people who are frustrated with the National Party or our members in Congress or even our state parties.
00:29:21.000Is there any way that we can utilize our influencers to bring awareness to our county parties so that they can get involved with us?
00:29:29.000So as chairmen, we can do a better job at building that volunteer army that is needed to win in 24.
00:29:35.000Yeah, and by the way, I just want, what was your name again?
00:31:51.000I'm also the board chair of the Moms Coalition of Turning Point Action, thanks to our Northern Representative, Shaden.
00:31:58.000So as a mom coalition chair, part of Turning Point Action and a chair of our library board in Rocho County, I just want to encourage and don't forget the moms, the homeschool moms, and what's happening in our libraries and our schools.
00:32:13.000If we could keep an eye, could we get attention to what's happening in our libraries and our schools?
00:32:19.000Great recruiting opportunities, great work of the moms happening at those local boards.
00:32:25.000So thank you for your support in Reno.
00:33:22.000And then ask her opinion of this event, if that has invigorated the spirit of the ethos to try to change any.
00:33:28.000Because obviously, based on, unless you guys are all pulling my leg, which I don't think you are, every single one of you has said this is valuable, this is great, right?
00:33:36.000And so if that is true, then ask her if that is something that she would acknowledge needs to continue and amplify, or are we the problem?
00:33:44.000Because the RNC attacked this event saying we're only here for internet clicks and popularity.
00:33:50.000I don't think you guys probably got that impression, right?
00:34:28.000I'm here to basically carry a message that's been resonating, but it's in the comic relief of the anarchists or the far left, and they're willing to do anything and everything, stop at nothing, to defeat just what we're trying to do here to control a civilization that you talk about saving such.
00:34:51.000President Trump is now being challenged up in Massachusetts.
00:35:01.000What can we do with your wonderful organization to bring attention to what is actually happening where I believe the most corrupt state in the union is actually trying to upend our democracy with you and supporting what the battle is on February 8th up there in Boston, Massachusetts?
00:35:19.000So I will say, though, it's not even a speculation.
00:35:21.000Maine and Colorado have taken those steps.
00:35:24.000And Colorado has been one of the most outrageous things that I've seen.
00:35:44.000You get a degree in ingratitude and lack of wisdom.
00:35:47.000I don't know exactly how to answer that question, except we must draw attention to it, and you must all have worst-case scenario plans.
00:35:53.000This is a very small percentage chance, everybody.
00:35:55.000If they kick Donald Trump off the primary ballot, you need to go to a caucus system immediately, and you have to still appropriate your delegates outside of a primary system.
00:36:03.000Credit to Colorado, you guys were ahead of the curve there.
00:36:23.000Within that statement, it's obvious that Massachusetts is the most corrupt state in the Union, and they're probably going to bring a battleground and not allow them on the ballot.
00:36:31.000Can we do anything in anticipation of that to get us to support that?
00:36:36.000It's really the Supreme Court at this point.
00:36:38.000I mean, the best thing you can do is if the primary is in jeopardy, you need to demand caucus system outside of a prime, because the caucus system is not administered through an official Secretary of State process.
00:36:51.000Therefore, you can administer it however you want.
00:38:11.000But I am a big Brock Purdy fan, but we're all fooling ourselves if we think-I mean, you could combine every NFL player and they don't have the same cultural clout as Taylor Swift.
00:38:20.000And somebody said to me recently, they said, Charlie, I guarantee you the Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl.
00:38:31.000I don't know if I believe that or not, but do not under if Taylor Swift ends up endorsing Joe Biden, that will be a tsunami that will be very, very difficult to thwart.
00:39:20.000While we're doing all of this, which is a critical election and it's critically important to do all this grassroots stuff, we potentially could be derailed in our efforts by ranked choice voting and by national popular vote initiatives.
00:39:34.000So what are you doing to help us defeat that?
00:39:39.000Because if it passes in November, Nevada, it's law.
