00:01:34.000 There's a fair amount of curiosity as to where is the Democrat Party going to go next?

00:01:38.000 Are they going to pretend to be a moderate like Gavin Newsom, when in reality he's a radical failed governor of California?

00:01:45.000 Or are they going to try to be based?

00:01:49.000 Which is not really a term you hear much from the left.

00:01:51.000 Are they going to double and triple down?

00:01:53.000 And boy, if this guy doubles down on anything, you better believe that it is a...

00:02:01.000 Very, very big Big Mac from McDonald's.

00:02:05.000 Doubling down is a scary proposition for him.

00:02:08.000 Watch out.

00:02:09.000 We're talking about J.B. Pritzker, of course, the governor of Illinois.

00:02:12.000 Joining us now is William Kelly from reporterwilliamjkelly.com.

00:02:17.000 So, William, I want to play this piece of tape here.

00:02:19.000 Here is J.B. Pritzker talking about how he is evidence of the gay agenda. 0.79

00:02:25.000 These are his words.

00:02:26.000 He was at the Human Rights Coalition whatever.

00:02:30.000 J.B. Pritzker is going to want to run for president.

00:02:32.000 He has a lot of money to do it.

00:02:34.000 Let's play cut 227.

00:02:36.000 My mother was an activist for reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights.

00:02:45.000 And she took me to pride parades back when, well, they weren't really parades.

00:02:50.000 They were protests.

00:02:53.000 So... I have to laugh when I hear the right-wing carry on about the dangers of exposing kids to trans people or same-sex couples because I'm living proof that introducing your kids to the gay agenda might result in them growing up to be governor.

00:03:09.000 William, what are we to make of Mr. Pritzker here?

00:03:13.000 Well, as somebody who attends his press conferences on a regular basis, I would tell you right now he's running for president.

00:03:21.000 He doesn't talk like a governor who cares about the people of Illinois, that's for sure.

00:03:25.000 He's setting himself up to be the anti-Trump.

00:03:28.000 And for anyone who might be laughing right now and saying how could Pritzker possibly think that he has a shot at the White House, I would like to caution.

00:03:40.000 Those people.

00:03:41.000 I know that doesn't include you, Charlie, because you know better.

00:03:44.000 But I warned a lot of people about this guy, this state senator who became a U.S. senator named Barack Obama.

00:03:51.000 They laughed.

00:03:51.000 They laughed so hard.

00:03:55.000 The fact of the matter is that a lot of horrible viruses come out of not only Wuhan, but Chicago, Charlie.

00:04:02.000 And don't think that we might not have a President Pritzker on our hands very soon if we're not careful.

00:04:11.000 Well, I mean, that's possible, of course.

00:04:15.000 I am curious what he would run on in a general election, the destruction of one of the greatest states, once greatest states in the country.

00:04:23.000 So, he certainly has ambition.

00:04:26.000 What would he even say is his greatest accomplishment?

00:04:31.000 Well, you know, he likes to say that he fights Nazis.

00:04:36.000 In fact, I've never heard...

00:04:38.000 He doesn't want to talk about Nazis more than J.B. Pritzker.

00:04:40.000 He's got an obsession with Nazis.

00:04:42.000 I think they should open up some kind of a civil rights DOJ, civil rights investigation against Pritzker based on his Nazi obsessions.

00:04:51.000 You know, he, I think in that same speech that you just showed some video of, he said that whenever you see an authoritarian, you should punch him in the nose.

00:05:01.000 I mean, if I got that quote right, if I didn't, then forgive me.

00:05:04.000 But I will say this, as you well know, Charlie, If I said that, I would be charged with a hate crime.

00:05:11.000 If I said, you know, everything equal or opposite, you know, whatever that, if I said something that might suggest punching Pritzker in the nose, I would be charged with a hate crime, I would be convicted, and I would be sent to prison for between 45 to 90 years.

00:05:27.000 And so, just to be clear, J.B. Pritzker is a tyrant himself.

00:05:34.000 He locked down the entire state of Illinois.

00:05:37.000 Preventing people from even to go on their boat in Lake County where they said there's only two people allowed per boat.

00:05:46.000 My wife, Erica, jokes around.

00:05:48.000 She says if J.B. Pritzker runs for president, she says that will be the most personal race ever.

00:05:54.000 I mean, I will be very invested in this because I have such contempt for the slob. 1.00

00:06:00.000 That is J.B. Pritzker.

00:06:01.000 Now, it's very funny.

00:06:02.000 He says, well, if you bring your kids to gay parades, they could end up governor.

00:06:06.000 They could also end up like this.

00:06:07.000 Put up 288.

00:06:08.000 This is J.B. Pritzker's brother, otherwise known as Jennifer, who is a trans activist.

00:06:15.000 So it turns out that if you bring your kids to gay pride parades, they might end up trans.

00:06:21.000 Jennifer, who is very, very wealthy and obviously deeply disturbed.

00:06:27.000 But William, all kidding aside, Illinois is a failed project.

00:06:31.000 It's a sad husk of its former self.

00:06:35.000 He really has the wherewithal or the ambition to run after what he's done to the great state of Illinois?

00:06:43.000 You better believe it, Charlie.

00:06:46.000 I book it.

00:06:47.000 You know, it's happening.

00:06:48.000 He's running for president of the United States of America.

00:06:51.000 And, you know, his family really isn't off limits because, you know, if you really scratch even a little bit, you find out that there are NGOs.

00:07:01.000 To the tune of millions or billions of dollars.

00:07:04.000 There's, you know, Epstein flight logs that I've, you know, that we are trying to verify.

00:07:09.000 And, you know, it's very, very hard when you can't really, you know, get all of the information.

00:07:15.000 But we're trying to verify all of this information.

00:07:19.000 You know, but yet Pritzker thinks he's above anything because, you know, at his press conferences, all he ever talks about is how...

00:07:27.000 You know, he's a master at the gaslighting.

00:07:31.000 And it's very, you know, I really need to, as you just perfectly did in your last previous segment about Brazil, I can't really warn America enough about what a Pritzker presidency would look like.

00:07:49.000 He locked down Illinois.

00:07:51.000 He locked down the schools, the churches, things that I never thought.

00:07:56.000 Whatever happened in the United States of America, we went out every night with our camera crew.

00:08:01.000 We saw the looting.

00:08:02.000 He didn't lock that down.

00:08:04.000 The looting, the rioters.

00:08:07.000 When he campaigned, he was very, very charming, very talking business.

00:08:14.000 And a lot of people thought, well, in Illinois, maybe this is as good as it's going to get.

00:08:19.000 The second he had the opportunity to lock it down and loot it, he did with a zeal that, honestly, to quote his favorite chapter in history, looked pretty Nazi-like. 0.75

00:08:33.000 Let's put this up on screen.

00:08:35.000 You look here at the people want to become president on the Democrat side.

00:08:39.000 You've got Tim Walz.

00:08:40.000 You have J.B.

00:08:41.000 Pritzker. You have Gavin Newsom.

00:08:42.000 They're all losing population.

00:08:44.000 In fact, this is the projected congressional reappropriate apportionment coming into 2030.

00:08:49.000 California's on pace to lose four.

00:08:51.000 Well, I think that Pritzker...

00:09:10.000 Believes that the migrants that he has allowed into Illinois will save that, turn that around for him. 1.00

00:09:17.000 He wants them to vote in local elections.

00:09:21.000 You know, I mean, we all laughed.

00:09:23.000 Well, not all of us, but a few people laughed when they heard this replacement theory.

00:09:29.000 You also have to understand that in Illinois...

00:09:34.000 Migrants, non-citizens, call them whatever you want. 1.00

00:09:37.000 Illegal aliens, I think we're allowed to say that now, Charlie. 1.00

00:09:40.000 I don't know if we're allowed to have freedom of speech.

00:09:42.000 But if we are, illegal aliens are now receiving driver's licenses.

00:09:47.000 And they're not the old illegal DLs that I tried to warn people about a few years back.

00:09:53.000 They're actual driver's licenses that are indistinguishable from...

00:09:59.000 From the driver's license that you or I carry in our pockets.

00:10:03.000 So who's going to tell migrants, non-citizens, illegal aliens that they can't vote in a federal election?

00:10:10.000 I know that the president has recently come out and said that he's trying to prevent that from happening.

00:10:17.000 Pritzker is already spending his millions or billions to make sure that it does happen.

00:10:23.000 Last question, 20 seconds.

00:10:25.000 How much money do you think he would spend to make himself president?

00:10:28.000 He would spend all the money that you have.

00:10:32.000 He'll take all your money and spend it on his campaign for president.

00:10:35.000 Trust me.

00:10:35.000 And he's worth $3 billion.

00:10:37.000 So you think he would spend like a Michael Bloomberg a billion, maybe?

00:10:41.000 Guaranteed. And then some.

00:10:43.000 And then some.

00:10:44.000 Yeah, this is not, this is, you know, we can joke.

00:10:46.000 I mean, if you don't joke, you'll, the only way to prevent yourself from getting too angry or too sad is to joke, right?

00:10:55.000 But they haven't taken that away from me yet.

00:10:58.000 Charlie, but this is deadly serious.

00:11:01.000 William, thank you so much for your time.

00:11:03.000 We are taking it seriously.

00:11:04.000 Thank you.

00:12:08.000 Great supporters of this program.

00:12:11.000 Why are we financing with taxpayer money National Public Radio and PBS?

00:12:19.000 NPR is a racket.

00:12:22.000 It is a far left-wing media organ that is against the interests of the American people.

00:12:28.000 And yesterday there was a masterclass of the CEO of National Public Radio testifying in front of Congress.

00:12:38.000 NPR. Should go raise their own money. 0.96

00:12:42.000 Go to your own libs and go raise that $100 million a year.

00:12:47.000 The days of us financing organizations that hate us is over.

00:12:53.000 Let all the rich liberals pay for NPR. 0.97

00:12:55.000 100% of their editorial board is made up of Democrats.

00:12:59.000 Zero Republicans.

00:13:00.000 And I think it was actually very smart to have them in front of Congress yesterday.

00:13:04.000 At first they said, what is this kind of show trial?

00:13:06.000 You know, it's typical.

00:13:07.000 I said, no, actually it's very smart.

00:13:09.000 If you're going to cut the funding, you had an opportunity to show.

00:13:12.000 You had a hearing about it.

00:13:13.000 It's very smart.

00:13:13.000 I liked it.

00:13:15.000 Here's one piece of tape.

00:13:16.000 This is beautiful.

00:13:17.000 Here is Gills, who's the NPR CEO, saying, do you think white people should pay reparations?

00:13:26.000 This is wonderful.

00:13:28.000 Play cut 253.

00:13:29.000 Do you think the white people should pay reparations?

00:13:31.000 I have never said that, sir.

00:13:33.000 Yes, you did.

00:13:35.000 Said it in January of 2020.

00:13:36.000 You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt, yes, reparations, yes, on this day.

00:13:45.000 I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.

00:13:48.000 What kind of reparations was it a reference to?

00:13:51.000 I think it was just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to the people who came before us.

00:13:56.000 That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted.

00:14:03.000 Brandon is great, by the way.

00:14:04.000 He's becoming a rock star.

00:14:05.000 He's married to Dinesh D'Souza's daughter.

00:14:06.000 We supported him in the primary.

00:14:08.000 Bizarre way to frame what she tweeted is a good way to put it.

00:14:14.000 Let's go to 259.

00:14:16.000 The old tweets of calling Donald Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath financed with your taxpayer dollars.

00:14:24.000 Pay cut 259.

00:14:25.000 Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020?

00:14:32.000 Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this.

00:14:35.000 I regret those tweets.

00:14:36.000 I would not tweet them again today.

00:14:38.000 They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe that the president had said rather than who he is.

00:14:44.000 I don't presume that anyone is a racist.

00:14:47.000 You don't believe anyone is a racist?

00:14:49.000 I don't start by presuming anyone is a racist.

00:14:51.000 She's a dark person. 0.98

00:14:54.000 I know her type. 0.99

00:14:55.000 She is very similar to Gavin Newsom.

00:14:57.000 She could just lie with ease.

00:14:59.000 She could pass a lie detector test.

00:15:00.000 You could just tell.

00:15:01.000 She's so slippery.

00:15:03.000 That's really dark stuff.

00:15:04.000 There's no remorse.

00:15:06.000 Well, I regret tweeting it.

00:15:08.000 It's so rehearsed.

00:15:09.000 Watch out.

00:15:11.000 You know what she's like?

00:15:12.000 She's like Gone Girl.

00:15:14.000 That's what she's like.

00:15:16.000 You know that whole movie?

00:15:17.000 Gone Girl? 0.95

00:15:18.000 That's the type of woman that she is. 1.00

00:15:20.000 There's something else going on there.

00:15:21.000 You've got to be real careful.

00:15:23.000 Let's go to cut 257.

00:15:24.000 So billions have gone into both of your coffers over the last several days.

00:15:29.000 I understand why Democrats on this committee are going to viciously and vehemently defend you all because you become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

00:15:39.000 67% of...

00:15:41.000 Your viewers and listeners identify as Democrat with only 12% conservative and you become a sandbox for leftist propagandists to frolic on taxpayer dime and no more.

00:15:51.000 And when you said in the beginning you're going to promote a symphony of ideological viewpoints, yeah, you do.

00:15:55.000 If you're left-leaning left, far left, or remarkably Marxist, I yield back.

00:16:00.000 How about PBS?

00:16:02.000 Let's go to Cut 254. 0.62

00:16:04.000 Would it trouble you to hear that for six months there was an analysis done on PBS's NewsHour from June to November of 2023 where they found that far right was that term was used 162 times and far left was only used six times.

00:16:19.000 Do you find that troubling?

00:16:21.000 I don't know the study that you're referring to and I'd love I'd be very interested in seeing it and understanding how they Cut every single penny from PBS and NPR.

00:16:39.000 These white-lib women, you better get in the fundraising business. 1.00

00:16:44.000 We at Turning Point USA, we have to raise $130,000, $140 million a year.

00:16:48.000 It's a big number.

00:16:49.000 We have a whole team that does it.

00:16:50.000 We have 420,000 donors.

00:16:52.000 We receive zero money of taxpayer dollars.

00:16:55.000 You? Mega libs, go raise your money. 1.00

00:16:59.000 Go out to your top rich donors.

00:17:01.000 Go travel.

00:17:03.000 And you guys need to go in the fundraising business, not the U.S. taxpayer funding business.

00:17:09.000 Just looking at those two white lib women. 1.00

00:17:13.000 That's really what we're up against right there.

00:17:16.000 Right there.

00:17:17.000 It is civilization versus whatever that is.

00:18:46.000 A terrible incident.

00:18:48.000 Occurred the other day at University of Texas, Dallas.

00:18:52.000 As you know, the left is becoming incredibly violent.

00:18:55.000 They're going after Tesla dealerships.

00:18:57.000 We receive death threats nearly every single day.

00:19:00.000 And they're going after our Turning Point USA leaders on the ground.

00:19:04.000 So joining us is one of the students that was violently attacked, Paige Newman, TPUSA Chapter President at the University of Texas at Dallas.

00:19:14.000 Assaulted by a trans student. 0.98

00:19:16.000 Paige, welcome to the program.

00:19:18.000 Please tell our audience what happened to you.

00:19:21.000 Welcome. Great to see you.

00:19:22.000 Nice to see you too.

00:19:23.000 Thanks for having me.

00:19:24.000 Yeah, we were tabling as we usually do.

00:19:26.000 We table every Monday through Wednesday on campus.

00:19:30.000 We have an event coming up on campus and we're excited for that.

00:19:33.000 We're tabling for it.

00:19:34.000 It's a beautiful day out.

00:19:36.000 We had a lot of people stopping by and this crazed lunatic came on his bike.

00:19:42.000 He pulled over next to me.

00:19:44.000 I said, keep moving because I knew he was going to cause some damage.

00:19:47.000 And he caused damage to my phone was destroyed.

00:19:51.000 Our whiteboard that we use for tabling was destroyed and my head was hit severely.

00:19:57.000 So this crazed lunatic just wanted to This is not the first time that we've had Turning Point leaders be assaulted, concussed.

00:20:10.000 Firebombed, bear sprayed.

00:20:12.000 It is a very common tactic that they use.

00:20:14.000 First, I have to ask, are you okay after this madman assaulted you in the head with a bike lock?

00:20:21.000 Yeah, I'm actually doing pretty well, surprisingly.

00:20:24.000 No concussion signs.

00:20:26.000 I'm going to go get x-rays later today, just to be sure.

00:20:30.000 But yeah, I feel great.

00:20:32.000 If anything, I'm more empowered.

00:20:33.000 I want to keep fighting for what I believe in, and that's...

00:20:36.000 You know, TPSA's values are so important to me, especially as president.

00:20:39.000 I'm going to keep fighting on for what I believe in.

00:20:42.000 This person is named Liam Tom, Tom Nguyen, a male Vietnamese name.

00:20:49.000 Put this up on screen.

00:20:50.000 This is the individual that did this who is trans. 0.93

00:20:54.000 Of course, the media will completely ignore this.

00:20:57.000 Could you imagine the opposite?

00:20:58.000 Could you imagine if a conservative went and assaulted a trans group on campus?

00:21:02.000 It would be international news.

00:21:05.000 Paige, talk about how your chapter is responding to this.

00:21:10.000 Do you guys feel more committed to continue to be out and tabling and recruiting?

00:21:16.000 How are you processing all of this?

00:21:19.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:21:20.000 Even yesterday after the attack happened, we continued to table on and we kept fighting for what we believe in.

00:21:28.000 We had a lot of support, actually, from people on campus.

00:21:31.000 They saw what happened and were shocked we were still out there after it happened.

00:21:35.000 So, yeah, we're going to keep fighting on.

00:21:37.000 We're going to have our events on April 1st.

00:21:40.000 We're going to keep pushing on and spread the message.

00:21:42.000 Hopefully get some new members out of this, honestly.

00:21:45.000 Talk about what you are seeing on campus.

00:21:47.000 And also, did the police take it seriously?

00:21:50.000 And how did the administration respond?

00:21:52.000 Yeah, the police were actually very, very helpful.

00:21:56.000 They were...

00:21:57.000 They acted swiftly and immediately.

00:21:59.000 They caught him the same day.

00:22:01.000 Luckily, we did have the video footage and they used their cameras as well, but they caught him the same day actually on campus in a building nearby.

00:22:10.000 Yeah, the campus as a whole, they have, you know, definitely received this as mixed.

00:22:16.000 There was a Reddit post going around and people said I deserve to get hit because I'm a TPUSA freak.

00:22:22.000 So there's definitely still some hate out there.

00:22:24.000 People still want to cause injury and they still hate TPUSA.

00:22:28.000 But we've also had people on the other side say, you know what, I'm proud of you guys for being out here.

00:22:32.000 They're proud of us for fighting on.

00:22:34.000 To say, you know what, we're not scared.

00:22:36.000 I mean, obviously I took a hit to the head and I got back up and I'm still out there tabling, so we're not scared.

00:22:42.000 You are a hero, and I hope everyone in the audience who might be in their 40s, 50s, or 60s listening or watching this, if you guys are not constantly under attack for your values, then I'm worried about you, that you're not fighting hard enough.

00:22:55.000 Every day, our Turning Point students are sticking out their neck to fight for our country that we love.

00:23:01.000 And you guys are heroes for that.

00:23:03.000 The tip of the spear.

00:23:04.000 Have any liberal professors condemned this?

00:23:07.000 Have they spoken out against this?

00:23:09.000 Not that I know of.

00:23:11.000 And I honestly don't think they will.

00:23:15.000 I don't think they're going to say anything.

00:23:17.000 It's just going to be another day in the books for them.

00:23:19.000 I mean, they don't really care what happens just because, again, we are TPUSA.

00:23:23.000 So this campus, they don't want to see us here, but we're making our presence stronger than ever.

00:23:28.000 So, Paige, talk more broadly about what you are seeing.

00:23:32.000 Polls are showing that young people are going to the right. 0.99

00:23:34.000 In fact, I want to play a piece of tape here.

00:23:36.000 We've played part of this conversation throughout the week, which I think is very important.

00:23:41.000 So the New York Times Ezra Klein conversation.

00:23:44.000 I want to play cut 75, and I want to ask you if you're seeing similar trends on the ground with the advocacy that you're doing.

00:23:51.000 Play cut 75, please.

00:23:53.000 One of the things you can see here is if you just look at 18-year-olds.

00:23:56.000 18-year-old women of color are the only of the four that actually, you know, voted that Harris won. 0.54

00:24:02.000 Trump narrowly won, you know, non-white men. 0.96

00:24:06.000 So I do find this part of this chart shocking.

00:24:10.000 I sometimes talk about narrative violations, and I think if we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it's that young people did not like him.

00:24:17.000 But if you look at this chart among white men who were 75 years old, supported Kamala Harris.

00:24:25.000 At a significantly higher rate than white men who are 20 years old.

00:24:30.000 That's exactly right.

00:24:31.000 That's a real shift.

00:24:33.000 It is a real shift.

00:24:34.000 This is the thing I am the most shocked by, I think, in the last four years, is that young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the baby boomers, and maybe in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the most conservative.

00:24:50.000 Are you seeing similar trends on the ground, especially with younger men?

00:24:55.000 Yeah, actually, you know, when I do table, I ask, like, have you heard of TPUSA before?

00:25:01.000 And a lot of times the answer is yes.

00:25:03.000 They'll say, yes, I want to join, but I'm scared.

00:25:06.000 And I'm...

00:25:07.000 I'm confused by that.

00:25:08.000 I'm like, why are you scared?

00:25:09.000 If you believe in something, join it.

00:25:11.000 Join the movement.

00:25:12.000 And I encourage everyone to at least attend one of our meetings.

00:25:15.000 I've seen a lot of women, especially yesterday. 1.00

00:25:17.000 I spoke to a lady who wanted to come to our Alex Stein event on campus, but she knew it was with TPUSA, and she was scared to attend because she thought she would not get a job if she was seen attending. 0.99

00:25:29.000 And that's very sad to me.

00:25:31.000 I encourage everyone to just attend one meeting.

00:25:34.000 We're friendly.

00:25:35.000 We're out there.

00:25:36.000 We give away.

00:25:36.000 We, you know, free stuff, free advice.

00:25:38.000 We just want to help everyone join the movement.

00:25:40.000 And, yeah, I've definitely seen a big shift.

00:25:44.000 Well, and hold on.

00:25:45.000 This is in Texas, everybody.

00:25:47.000 This is not Massachusetts.

00:25:48.000 So this is someone who's afraid to go to a conservative event in Dallas, Texas, in a red state.

00:25:56.000 That's remarkable.

00:25:57.000 Talk more broadly about your school, the classes that you have to take.

00:26:02.000 Are professors...

00:26:04.000 Are they treating you fairly because you're part of Turning Point USA?

00:26:07.000 Do you feel you're graded differently?

00:26:09.000 How do your fellow members feel?

00:26:11.000 I mean, this campus as a whole is very liberal.

00:26:14.000 I am not from Texas originally, so I didn't know how.

00:26:18.000 I thought it would be a red state, as you said.

00:26:21.000 But this campus is the opposite.

00:26:23.000 People here are very, very left-leaning.

00:26:26.000 And obviously, as you can tell, I was hit in the head.

00:26:29.000 They will cause hate.

00:26:31.000 They'll spew.

00:26:32.000 Misinformation online.

00:26:33.000 We've had an Instagram account that's against TPUSA at UT Dallas, a whole Instagram based on it.

00:26:40.000 They hate us.

00:26:41.000 And so in class, I have felt the need sometimes to act like I am leftist, you know, but I'm the kind of person where I don't mind sharing my values out loud.

00:26:51.000 I've been in classes before that it's all liberals and I'm the one conservative and I state my mind, you know, I'm not afraid to say how I feel.

00:27:00.000 I might get backlash, I might get hit in the head for it, but I will continue to stay how I feel, yeah.

00:27:05.000 What is your advice to other Turning Point chapter leaders or other young conservatives across the country that feel scared, that feel afraid, that are not sure if they want to speak out because they might get hit in the head with a bike lock?

00:27:21.000 I would just say, you know...

00:27:23.000 Keep in mind what TPUSA stands for.

00:27:26.000 Our mission is strong.

00:27:27.000 Our presence is strong.

00:27:29.000 And keep fighting on.

00:27:31.000 If you believe in it, fight for it.

00:27:35.000 You might get backlash.

00:27:36.000 You might try to get attacked.

00:27:38.000 But obviously, if they're trying to attack you, it means that your mission is the right one.

00:27:43.000 Because they don't want to see you win.

00:27:45.000 But we're going to keep winning.

00:27:46.000 Well, I hope you're coming to our Young Women's Leadership Summit.

00:27:49.000 If not...

00:27:50.000 I will be.

00:27:51.000 We have to fix that.

00:27:52.000 How did you first come aware of Turning Point USA?

00:27:55.000 Yeah, so they were tabling one day and they had the Riley Gaines event.

00:27:59.000 And I love Riley Gaines a lot.

00:28:02.000 And I was like, oh, you're going to have that?

00:28:04.000 Yeah, I'll come.

00:28:05.000 And I had a friend already in the club.

00:28:07.000 He was an officer.

00:28:08.000 He brought me on.

00:28:09.000 I went to a meeting.

00:28:10.000 I felt like an outsider, honestly, because it was all men and there was no women there at all.

00:28:16.000 And I said, you know what?

00:28:17.000 I can change this group around.

00:28:19.000 And I did.

00:28:20.000 I was secretary and I worked on the Instagram.

00:28:23.000 Our Instagram is now one of the best of the nation, I will say.

00:28:26.000 Incredible. And I brought on some more females as well. 1.00

00:28:29.000 And now I'm the president and I love it.

00:28:32.000 We have to have more women involved in the conservative movement. 1.00

00:28:35.000 It can't just be all men.

00:28:36.000 Yes. So, Paige, God bless you.

00:28:39.000 Thank you.

00:28:40.000 We look forward to seeing you at the Young Women's Leadership Summit.

00:28:42.000 Thank you.

00:28:42.000 And I want everyone to internalize this.

00:28:44.000 You guys are looking for hope on the horizon.

00:28:47.000 Some of you guys are retired.

00:28:49.000 This next generation, they are taking bike locks on the head.

00:28:53.000 They're scorn, condemnation, isolation.

00:28:55.000 They are out there fighting for your country every single day.

00:28:59.000 And by the way, can we just defund University of Texas Dallas?

00:29:02.000 Why is it that these schools are still receiving any money?

00:29:05.000 That's a separate issue.

00:29:06.000 Paige, thank you so much.

00:29:07.000 Thank you.

00:29:11.000 Subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast page.

00:29:14.000 She's terrific.

00:29:15.000 It's the best of Turning Point USA.

00:29:17.000 I believe, and I'm a little biased, Turning Point USA is the most important organization in America.

00:29:22.000 I really believe that.

00:29:23.000 I know that there's other people that have different opinions.

00:29:25.000 That's fine.

00:29:25.000 I'm a little biased.

00:29:27.000 But I don't think there's an organization that comes close to the impact, the depth, the power, the vision.

00:29:33.000 I think that Turning Point USA is the vanguard of the civilization.

00:29:40.000 The world is waking up to the power of gold.

00:29:43.000 National banks are scrambling to secure it.

00:29:46.000 According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.

00:29:55.000 They understand what many investors don't.

00:29:57.000 Gold is real money.

00:29:59.000 Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes.

00:30:06.000 Now, Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.

00:30:10.000 As our new administration works to reverse the economic chaos of the past, market swings are inevitable.

00:30:16.000 When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom.

00:30:22.000 Gold can be that foundation.

00:30:24.000 And right now, when you make a qualified investment, Noble Gold will send you a free tenth ounce of a cold coin.

00:30:30.000 Visit noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:30:33.000 The world is turning to gold.

00:30:37.000 Shouldn't you be looking into doing that, too?

00:30:41.000 Okay, everybody.

00:30:42.000 So I had an article sent to me yesterday.

00:30:46.000 It's one of those articles where I just chuckled.

00:30:48.000 I said, oh, really?

00:30:51.000 Interesting. You're telling me for the first time.

00:30:54.000 I wrote a book a couple summers ago called The College Scam.

00:30:58.000 It's one of the books I'm most proud of.

00:31:00.000 It was a clear indictment of the college cabal.

00:31:05.000 It did not win me a lot of friends.

00:31:06.000 I remember I would get in debates with...

00:31:09.000 Very wealthy people in Jackson Hole.

00:31:11.000 Oh, I remember a spicy conversation in Jackson Hole.

00:31:14.000 A debate in Palm Beach of older boomer Americans.

00:31:20.000 College is wonderful and everyone should go to it.

00:31:23.000 All that matters is the cost of college.

00:31:25.000 We just have to bring down the cost because the most important thing is to get a four-year degree.

00:31:31.000 And I wrote in the college scam that, no, this is one of the greatest scams happening in America.

00:31:36.000 I see it firsthand, and I will be proven right. 0.96

00:31:39.000 Fortune magazine publishes yesterday, this is the first of thousands of these articles, and this is a major I told you so.

00:31:46.000 Over 4 million Gen Zers are jobless, and experts blame colleges for worthless degrees and a system of broken promises for the rise of NEETs. 1.00

00:31:59.000 NEETs are neither employed or getting technical training. 0.79

00:32:03.000 So according to Fortune magazine, One in every five adult members of Gen Z are neither employed, educated, or training.

00:32:14.000 People are not in the job market, and they're not going to school.

00:32:17.000 They just do nothing.

00:32:19.000 They live with their parents.

00:32:21.000 They draw welfare.

00:32:22.000 They play video games.

00:32:24.000 They exist.

00:32:24.000 It's not fun.

00:32:26.000 In fact, it's a miserable existence.

00:32:28.000 living without direction and just waiting for death.

00:32:30.000 Now, why are so many of them doing nothing?

00:32:33.000 Because for decades, we drove them to take out debt for useless degrees in irrelevant fields.

00:32:39.000 We shut down schools during COVID.

00:32:41.000 We gutted standards and created an elaborate racial spoil system. 0.79

00:32:46.000 90% 90%. I've said this for a while.

00:32:49.000 I'll say it again.

00:32:50.000 90% of kids that go to college should not go to college.

00:32:55.000 90%. By the way.

00:32:57.000 Almost none of these kids are being prepared for the fact they're going to lose their jobs in about a decade to artificial intelligence.

00:33:04.000 There will be a major job displacement problem.

00:33:07.000 And yet these kids are going hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

00:33:11.000 For what exactly?

00:33:13.000 What are they studying for?

00:33:14.000 And it turns out employers don't want to hire them.

00:33:17.000 They have useless degrees.

00:33:19.000 They have no skills.

00:33:20.000 And they don't use that degree that they went to college even in the workforce.

00:33:26.000 Fortune magazine continues to say this is my favorite part.

00:33:30.000 I wonder who's been saying this.

00:33:33.000 In many cases, young people have been sent off to universities for worthless degrees, which have produced nothing at all.

00:33:40.000 Peter Hitchens said, political commentator, journalist, and author, quote, now listen carefully, and they would be much better off if they apprenticed to become plumbers or electricians.

00:33:52.000 They would be able to look forward to a much more abundant And satisfying life.

00:33:58.000 But the reason that they don't want to become plumbers or electricians is that most parents would be ashamed to tell their neighbors that their kid has become a plumber.

00:34:08.000 Most suburban moms would be horrified to have to tell their girl gang, their book club, oh yeah, Johnny is a plumber.

00:34:17.000 No, no, no.

00:34:18.000 It's much easier to say that Johnny is trying to find himself.

00:34:24.000 To your girl gang of moms in your walking group.

00:34:28.000 Oh, no, no.

00:34:30.000 Johnny is not an electrician.

00:34:31.000 Johnny is...

00:34:32.000 He's doing his crypto thing.

00:34:34.000 Oh, I totally understand.

00:34:35.000 Johnny has mental health problems.

00:34:37.000 I totally get it.

00:34:38.000 There's really only five acceptable careers for upper middle class white society.

00:34:44.000 Doctor, lawyer, computer engineer, banker, teacher.

00:34:46.000 Those are about the five things that are allowed in upper middle class white society. 0.60

00:34:49.000 But if you dare say, my son...

00:34:53.000 Is an electrician, people say, he has to work with his hands?

00:35:00.000 You're a failure as a parent.

00:35:02.000 And I've tested this many times.

00:35:04.000 When I was in Aspen once, giving a speech, I said, I'm going to test it.

00:35:09.000 I said, how many of you guys would be happy if your son became an electrician?

00:35:12.000 They laughed audibly.

00:35:16.000 I said, you guys are the problem.

00:35:17.000 I have no problem standing up to the elites.

00:35:19.000 That's no problem.

00:35:20.000 I said, you guys are all the problem.

00:35:22.000 And they kind of chuckled and they looked down.

00:35:23.000 I said, you guys would rather have your kid be a wanderer from Portland to Seattle finding himself working for some sort of microbrewery trading crypto than having to tell your friends that he's an electrician.

00:35:42.000 Because that's unseemly for upper middle class white society. 0.99

00:35:46.000 The insecurity of parents has driven an entire generation to despair.

00:35:53.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
