It is amazing what the turning point team is doing this week. And we have a graphic, I'm going to show up on screen that shows all the things that we have in front of us. But today is a very important day for me personally. And for the organization, let me take you back into the time machine 12 years ago. 12 years ago, I was on my way from an event in Rockford, Illinois. I'd put some things together and involved locally with some great folks, really great patriots. And I made a decision. I said, that's it. I'm going to start a youth organization to try and save the country. Now, understand the context of when this all started. This was in the midst of the Obama presidency in the suburbs of Chicago, where Obama was very well-liked in my local high school. Progressive left wing, Marxist ideas were widespread. And I looked around and I was unimpressed by the conservative organizations that were out there, the old classic legacy conservative organizations that were supposed to be doing the work. I reached out to many of them and they were kind of uninterested. And I got, okay, I fill out this form, come to this thing. I said, where is the excitement? Where is the zeal? Where is the passion? Where is the energy? And I remember I called up My dad and I said, you know, I want to start this thing. I said, I need a name. And he listed off a couple of them and he said, well, how about turning point? I said, and just like that, turning point USA was born 12 years ago to the day. And it would not have been possible without Bill Montgomery. Me, he rest in peace bill was relentlessly positive and optimistic. I've never met somebody so positive in my entire life as Bill Montgomery. You could be completely surrounded. in the woods. And you'd say, Charlie, you know the best part about being surrounded is what you can shoot in any direction. That would be Bill Montgomery. Just relentlessly optimistic and that our best days were ahead. 12 years ago, our country was in a much different place. 12 years ago, the national debt was right around 13, 14 trillion dollars. Mind you, I got my start traveling around the Chicago suburbs speaking at Tea Party meetings with my very good friend. Mike, and speaking at these Tea Party meetings and trying to educate them about generational theft, about how you are stealing and borrowing from future generations. Little did I know that was becoming the modus operandi, the standard operating procedure of the entire regime. Back 12 years ago, we were worried about textbooks that might have economic data a little bit wrong, which was one of my first articles I wrote for Breitbart.com. 12 years ago, we never would have imagined outright grooming of children or classrooms. The border totally wide open with no restrictions. We never would have grasped the idea of a government that is so rigged against the people when it comes to the law fair system. We have fallen significantly in 12 years. And if it was not for Donald Trump's four-year of presidency, we'd be even in a worse position. You see, the major concerns We're about policy differences. 12 years later, we now have differences of what the country itself should exist as. I want to show some of these pictures here kind of throughout the history of turning point. However, the success of turning point USA has been tremendous. For 12 years, we have built and we have built. For the first five or six years, I was just trying to get people to take what we were doing seriously. I traveled in a decade, about 11 years. 3,300 days. I've seen the country many times over people say, Charlie, maybe not 50 states. I said, I haven't had all 50 states many times all over. And over 13 countries, travel to planet, 3,300 days on the road, living out of a suitcase, you know, in holiday and expresses and local hotels trying my best to race capital. And honestly, we barely had the money to do what we needed to do for the first five or six years. We barely had the resources. I also want to shout out Donald Trump Jr., who was a huge believer in what we were doing. And President Trump's victory in 2016 was a major shot in the arm. It was an accelerant on our movement. And you know, it was one of the greatest, I believe this will go down as one of the greatest stories in American political and cultural history. And I'm an entrepreneur. I worked happily for free for five years. Didn't get a paycheck. We were barely able to pay our staff. We were fighting checks and calling in favors from donors and from Mike Miller to Tom Patrick to Tom Sedeka to Doug DeGrewt. I'm going to miss people when I say this for the Hizinga family. I'm just trying to off the top my head. So many generous people stepped up to Gary Raybine who believed in our vision and didn't just write checks, but they were supporters and they were defenders and they saw something special in the turning point movement. Tyler Boyer, he's, you know, he's been with us for 10 years in January, isn't that crazy, Brian? Well, Brian, you've been around what seven years, eight years, right? Come up on seven years. Tyler has been a decade. He's been working with him. And Josh Teefo, coming up on a decade, he still does amazing work with us. And the team has grown and developed, and it's been an amazing 12 years. So you might say, but Charlie, where is the success? The success is actually rather remarkable. When I started 12 years ago, millennials were supposed to be the most progressive left-wing generation in history. They were supposed to be the generation that would usher in the Marxist Communist Revolution. But the bad guys did not count on turn. They did not realize that there was a grassroots movement bubbling up from the Midwest that was going to take the country by storm and making a sizable difference. 12 years ago, we had no money, no connections, no idea what I was doing. It was not some sort of thing where, you know, people came in and I said, oh, yeah, you know, we're gonna write a check and finance you completely. Now, I am actually doing this broadcast at the desk of Foster Freeze, how I can never forget what he did. This is literally Foster's desk. I bought it at an auction actually in Wyoming. I was like, I need that desk. And look at the difference from starting in a garage in Lamontal, Illinois, 2017 and a half Illinois street, no different than Apple. Do you look Packard? No different than Google. A lot of good things start big things start in garages. Let's play cut 19 to show the difference that we have made. The media is now saying and they're noticing it is turning point that is leading the way play cut 19.

Nobody works harder, nobody pushes harder than turning point, and nobody produces results by turning point US. That all just started out of the Midwest of this country, which is a small group of patriots. It is now the largest organization in the country. There's nothing that comes even close. Praise God. Most amount of small dollar donors, most amount of staff, most amount of impact. Praise God, we now raise over $100 million here between all of our different outfits, turning point action, turning point impact, turning point USA. God willing, we're just getting started. And then I'm going to tell you and show you what we have planned in just the next 10 days. No one is doing what turning point is doing these next 10 days. Posting president Trump tomorrow, young women's leadership summit this weekend in San Antonio, Texas, Lexitt Liberation Show, turning point academy trainings, chapter leadership summit. People's convention. with President Trump again next week. And no one comes even close. But it's the team at turning point that deserves the credit. It's the staff that do the work every single day in the grassroots in the trenches doing the trainings that believe that the DC conservative way of doing work has been flawed from the beginning. And we are disruptors in this space. Are you ready to lose weight? But not sure where to start. I understand. I was right where you are two years ago. Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program. First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and is science based. Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition. There are so much more. They know that 90% of permanent change comes in the mind and they work on eliminating the reason you gain the weight in the first place. There's no shortcuts, pills or injections, just salad, science-based nutrition, and behavior change, and finally, a probably most importantly, I've lost 30 pounds. Look, they're amazing. If you want to lose weight, you got to go to myphdweightloss.com. I was just texting with Dr. Ashley Lucas today. If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900. Go online at myphdweightloss.com. Do what I did, and what hundreds of my listeners have done in call today, 864-644-1900. I recommend their program, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and a science-based. Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition, but it's so much more. But on my PhD weight loss.com, my PhD weight loss.com, Glate 646441900, I lost over 30 pounds. Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American, check it out, my PhD weight loss.com. Look, the turning point story shows that anybody can start a movement in this country. There was not that was the that's the garage right there 2017 and a half it Illinois street Bill loved that place that was one of the first features I gave down I'm trying to think that was right in your peoria Illinois trying to think where that was it was a summer of 2012 six people showed up it's great great turnout that was all before Trump that was the Tea Party movement that was one of our first chapters strong membership of three people at the University of Wisconsin Madison That was art. So the whole bond of that one right there. This is on screen. The entire video will be posted on Charlie Kirk.com. You can watch this. That was our first ever young women's leadership summit. That was, um, boy, how many were there? That was probably 60 or 70 young ladies. We're going to have a near 2000 young women this weekend in San Antonio, Texas for our ninth annual young women's leadership summit. Let's see the next one. Well, we got what else we got here. That was our student action. I was winter in West Palm Beach, which became our student action summit. That was in December of 2015. That would be like a chapter meeting now. But that was like our annual convention. You could say some of those folks in those pictures still work for us amazingly. It's really something to see how turning point has grown and has strengthened. That was December of 2015. And now look, that's just one chapter meeting that are at our TPUSA High School Department. that was in Georgia, thousands of kids show up. That's just one meeting right there with Mr. Watson that helps host that. It really has become a movement. It is a, and that's one of our proved me wrongs there at University of Nevada, Las Vegas where students are coming to hear from us to ask questions. It really is a movement. And again, it started with just an idea and it has grown into this machine. And it really is a family as well, the people that have sacrificed so much, the people that have dedicated so much to see this movement grow. Andrew sent me something amazing. So it's our 12th birthday, our 12th anniversary, turning point is 12 years old. What does 12 mean in the Bible? As noted before, authors of the Bible sometimes highlight numbers to make a deeper symbolic point. As well spring is real, and other sources have noted, the number 12 in Hebrew signifies perfect government. God's government divine order. Maybe that's a sign for what's coming in November. I have no idea. Maybe that's a little bit of a good thing coming. Every single person in this audience can make a difference. That's why I'm telling this story. First of all, praise God. Just want to remind everyone that there's some good things happening in this country. Gen Z is more conservative than ever before. young men especially, we're seeing millennials go in the right direction. In fact, millennials might actually vote for Trump more than Biden, the cycle. The work we've been doing for 12 years is proving to be consequential empirically through data. Young people are far less liberal than anybody would have imagined and turning point is largely too credit for that. The team of turning point every day, turning point action, turning point USA doing the work, starting high school chapters. You know we have over a thousand high school chapters across the country. We have the largest college network ever assembled on the right or the left. I want to show this one graphic here. It's just incredible of what we have planned in the next week. And this is no organization in the country. I got a brag on the staff here would be insane enough to do what we're doing. Let me just remind you, tomorrow we have President Donald Trump at the Chase the vote town hall in Phoenix, Arizona, tpaction.com slash town hall. Next week, we have the People's Convention with President Trump and the largest event of the summer. But this weekend, we also have our young women's leadership summit in San Antonio, Texas, Friday through Sunday. Look at that graphic right there. So chase the vote with President Trump, people's convention next weekend, young women's leadership summit coming up this weekend. We also have our chapter leadership summit happening before in Detroit, Michigan, where we'll have nearly a thousand of our best chapter leaders, the Navy Seals of Turning Point USA. And simultaneously, black sit part of turning point USA founded by Candice Owens will be hosting a black sit liberation show or amazing black patriots in downtown Detroit right before the turning point action people's convention that right there if an organization would just do one of those things they would consider that to be a win annually we are doing all five of those things because let me tell you what it's not a Charlie Kirk thing the team at turning point they want to save this country they care about it far more than the DC Republican They get angry when we lose our country, the urgency. We play offense with a sense of urgency to win the American culture work. No organization works as hard. No organization posts the results. You go around these DC conservative groups. They're just sitting around. They're going to launch. They drink themselves silly at 3 p.m. You know, happy hours every hour. Get out of the way. We got a country to say we have a work ethic. We have a tenacity. We have a gusto at turning point. That is leading the way. and praise God. It's been 12 years. Alright, I need to tell you guys about strong cell. It's amazing.

And 12 is the number of perfect government. So I got my start with turning point USA. Largely, one of the more inspirational forces was Rush Limbaugh. I got to know Rush towards the end of his life. You know that Rush Limbaugh was a major donor to turning point USA. He never wanted anyone to know. He gave privately. gave below the surface, and it was a very, very, very generous donation. That's Rush Limbaugh. Rush taught us whenever there was something big that happened, and the media did not run with the polling after the event. That means the polling is no good. Rush used to say, where's the polling? Where is the polling on the Mueller stuff? Where is the polling on Kavanaugh? Have you noticed outside of maybe a little poll here or poll there? The silence from the media on the polling after Donald Trump is a quote convicted felon from his Moscow show Trump. Some polls have come out in the last four days. Not a lot. The polls that have come out that are a little bit of a sample after last week's conviction, but it has been largely silent. The one poll we do have is the morning consult. It released a national poll of voters on Sunday. This poll had numbers you might think would sound bad. 15% of Republicans said Trump should drop out. 54% said they agreed with convicting Trump. So how did they, how did that sample want to vote? 44% Biden, 44% Trump, a one point lead. So that's a Joe Biden post-conviction bump. However, morning consult had another national poll released two days later on Tuesday and that one Trump was up 44 to 43. So so much for that Joe Biden bump. ATIPP poll of the whole country shows a tie between Trump and Biden, both had to head and with third parties. The economist, same story, tied race. Now mind you, this is with Joe Biden outspending Donald Trump on television ads nearly 15 to one. Donald Trump is not running TV ads right now. I think that's going to change. There's some very big news coming out of Silicon Valley that I want to walk you through. Biden's big post-conviction win is apparently that he gets a one point polling boost and it evaporates. Remember, in 2016, 2020, Trump lost the national popular vote. If he merely ties the popular vote, that really means Trump has a wonderful chance in the electoral college. The state polls seem robust to a Mitchell research poll released today has a tie-in Michigan and a head-to-head race and Trump up one with third party included. In American greatness poll of North Carolina, a Republican poll worth admitting has Trump up 12 in a five-way race, but also the Charlotte Observer, which is the local polling agency in the local newspaper in North Carolina has a similar poll. You see all these neutral news out. Just so we're clear, this is a side note, never used convicted felon for George Floyd or literally anyone else. And now they're spamming it endlessly for Trump. These are despicable people. Yesterday, there was a a guy ran into at the store. He must meet big fan one of the selfie. I said, he registered about. He said, I'm not able to vote because I'm a felon. I said, OK, tell me about how you think of a Trump thing. It says, however, I could tell you that how many people are bothered by trying to go after Donald Trump, just because he is a convicted felon. Just because he's a convicted felon is an insult. And I think it's going to expand the electorate, especially after this show trial. MSNBC. is going hard on this. Now, we have to take this very seriously. This Republicans against Trump stuff, again, these are not Republicans. They did this against Kerry Lake, and I think it had more success than we would ever realize. This is on MSNBC, where they are running ads and billboards saying, I can't vote for a convicted felon. Oh, OK, but you can review our convicted felon like George Floyd, the entire month of June, but you can't vote for a convicted felon. Here's how President Trump, by the way, should respond to this in the debate. The three concerns we have for the debate is January 6, vaccines, convicted felon. The president Trump navigates those three things. He crushes the debate. So Joe Biden is going to moderate. He's going to say, he's a convicted felon. And president Trump should first say, how many times you have to rehearse that line to get it right Joe? However, I'll say this, Joe, based on what I've seen from the Congress, you're an unconvicted felon. How we should respond exactly right by the way. Let's put it up one or five.

This is pure desperation. This is great news. The fact that she's going on MSNBC, she's complaining. The American people don't care. This is an excellent sign. Well, we have to take it seriously. There will be some people that are going to be propagandized by this convicted felon thing. And she also said something very telling. She's right. I have never seen the conservative movement in such messaging harmony as what I've seen right now. It's a beautiful thing to witness by the way. Even people who don't like Trump, people that are not fans of Trump, they are coming alongside and they're saying this is too far. You cannot use the legal system as a political advantage of the incumbent party. A majority of Americans see its BS or the very least, they think it's cheating and its election interference at the very least. So what does this mean then? The silence from the media on the polling, coupled with that MSNBC clip, if there was going to be a boost, there would be a boost. At the current trajectory, unless This Martian brak combo, prosecutor judge combo puts Trump in prison, which I think would be a political disaster for that, just for the record. This is not a top concern on voter's mind. They are going to be running major advertisements. Donald Trump has convicted felon. You can't support him. Donald Trump has a convicted felon. This weekend, very, very important. This weekend, Donald Trump is barn storming the southwest starting tomorrow. He's coming to our event in Phoenix Arizona. So he's coming to our event at Phoenix Arizona talking right near lunchtime. CP Action dot com slash town hall. Check it out. We want to major Arizona audience for his first event post show trial conviction. You know where Donald Trump goes after that. Donald Trump is going to one of the bluest counties in America. He's going to Silicon Valley. Donald Trump is going to Silicon Valley tomorrow evening for a now sold out fundraiser. They have no more tickets left. And they're going for $500,000 a ticket. Donald Trump is going to break in capital. And Donald Trump, by the way, the money gap that we were talking about months ago, that is narrowing. Joe Biden will have more money, but it will not be significant. It will be a maybe 10%, 20%, 30% more money. But Donald Trump is quickly narrowing the money gap. And this is a very important data point. So Donald Trump is going to Silicon Valley this weekend. I'm sorry tomorrow. In an area where Republicans typically do not raise money easily. And for $500,000 a ticket, they say, sorry, we're out. We have interest. We can't fit anybody anymore. People in this. This is hosted by David Sachs. And the great folks there. We've had David Sachs. on this program. Remember, money is too politics as air is too fire. You need the money to compete on presidential politics. Not to mention the small dollar donation army of which I need to highlight the buried lead. Almost no one's been talking about this in the media because there's been so much going on. President Trump announced $200 million raised, but let me show you what I've been waiting for and they finally released these numbers. Overwhelming financial success is a result of over two million donation. I've been doing this as you well now for 12 years. At turning point, we have 300,000 donors and we're very, very thankful for that. It's a big number, 300,000 donors. You have two million people in the midst of hyperinflation where people can't afford groceries, give money, for an average gift of $70 and 27 cents in just a couple days time. Now, if you took the median, not just the mean, I bet it would be even better than that. Meaning, if you subtract the biggest gifts, the $1,800 gifts, and you just take what is the, not the average. I think what the mode is most often. If you take the mode, what is the most often gift that was given? Be very interesting to say. Bernie Sanders used to boast having millions of small dollar donors, and it was legit. Donald Trump getting two million individual donors, this is a movement everybody that is growing. You cannot get to that level. You cannot get to that fever pitch on just, oh, I'm upset. No, this is now at crescendoing outside of the control of the ruling class. And these people will donate again $10 here, $20 here, $30 here. Look, for over 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian, conservative, wireless provider, the only.

Today, President Trump has now introduced a new platform in conjunction with the RNC. Whether you vote absentee by mail, early in person or on election day, we will secure your election vote.

I'm not going to vote. You got to get in there face. You got to challenge him and say, oh, my, we're talking about two minutes here, filling out a piece of paper tomorrow is the 80 year anniversary of the day. We are not telling you to go storm Normandy Beach. We're not doing this. We're talking about filling in a piece of paper and putting it in the box. Oh, I don't think that's secure. The most unsick insecure thing you can do, the least secure thing you could do is not vote. That gives the opposition a gift. For those of you that do not vote or that you know people don't vote, you might as well just go buy your Biden Harris shirt. It is giving the opposition more power, more credence, more credibility. And by the way, Look at what Donald Trump is willing to do. Donald Trump says in cut 32, he's prepared to go to jail. He's prepared to go to jail, and we need every single person to simply go fill out a piece of paper and vote securely, like up 32. Hey, could it judge could decide to say, hey, house arrest, or even jail, it could face what that could be.

He's okay with it. Meanwhile, Jim Komi is FANTASizing about Donald putting Donald Trump in prison, Placca 55.

Well, they thought this sort That was not just an off-the-cuff answer. James Komi has definitely communicated with the head of the Bureau of Prisons, about how he's going to configure the logistics of Donald Trump in federal prison. He'll be away from Jen Pop, but he'll go shower in a double-wide near the edge. These are sick people that fantasize about the recreation of the Soviet Union. That is what this is. Show trial. As Arthur Kessler, wrote in his book, Darkness at noon. They've been at this for eight years, and it's all going to come to a head. If Joe Biden is successful, Donald Trump will certainly go to federal prison, and you will have a permanent political prisoner. And by the way, it's not just going to be him. It'll be across the board. Steve Bannon has a sentencing hearing tomorrow. Keep him in your prayers. Peter Navarro is in federal prison. They rated James O'Keebs home. They are trying to put Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani in prison. They just indicted a couple more Trump allies in Wisconsin. Tyler Boyer, COO, is facing prison time here in the state of Arizona. This is widespread across the country. Pure out blitz Creek of Laugh Fair. And that is why you are seeing the resurgence of support for Donald Trump because every day decent Americans know where this leads. They know that it's coordinated. They know that it's nasty. And they know that it will be the death of the Republic. If Donald Trump is not successful and know them. less about him and more about what he represents, which is the last shot for the U.S. Constitution to survive.
