Starting point is 00:00:00 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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. That's why we are here.

Welcome everybody we are here at the Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Look at this crowd that we have here. Look at this. That's as good as it gets. We are here with Stephen K. Bannon. Steve, you've just been yelling for the last two hours. You're pretty fired up about this Epstein thing. I just got a call from someone in Washington. Let's not say his name. But he was like, wait.
Starting point is 00:01:20 A very dialed in guy. Super dialed in. Really screwed up guy. And he's like, wait, is this Ep this Epstein thing kinda big I thought it's over and so first off they think it's over because the media had eight minutes of president trump asked twenty questions and didn't mention it once
Starting point is 00:01:37 so even president trump thinks it's over and so steve what is your recommendation your suggestion on how to fix this there's only one how to fix this? There's only one way to fix this. We have to come out of Tampa, just like the Patriots did on doing the Boston Resolves. We have to come out with the Tampa Resolves. Two or three action steps by Sunday afternoon, we're all committed to, all of us, to say this must happen, and I think it's special prosecutor ever.
Starting point is 00:02:05 But we have to say no more nothing, we have to go forward with this. And the reason we're going forward with this, we're there to assist and augment President Trump to help save President Trump's presidency. Because they are coming for another coup, you can see it happening. Just like the dark clouds were around Kennedy, right? They moved in and moved in and moved in. They assassinated Diem in Vietnam, and then they blew his head off in the middle of the day in Dallas, Texas with a patsy named Lee Harvey Oswald that we find out 62 years later was on the payroll of the CIA.
Starting point is 00:02:45 As they looked your parents in the eye and lied to them for 60 years, they're going to lie about everything today and hope that 70 years from now nobody will care about it. Do you care about it? Yes. If we don't come out of here united with Turning Point, as powerful as Turning Point is, if we don't come out of here and say, no more, nothing more, we must have this because if we don't take down the deep state, we're going to lose the entire country.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And they think they're winning. They're laughing at us right now. They're laughing at you. They're mocking you. The Epstein is something, the question's very simple. Who governs this country? The American people or the deep state? Do they have the consent of the governor
Starting point is 00:03:31 on what they're doing right now? Are you prepared to fight for this? Are you prepared to go to prison for this? Are you prepared to be bankrupt for this? Are you prepared to take up arms and fight for this? I hear a lot of talk. We're going to see some action. Now Steve, so special prosecutor, who would you recommend and what does that scope look
Starting point is 00:03:55 like? Because special prosecutors can be kind of a dead end sometimes. It can't be. My recommendation right now would it be Tom Fitton. Tom Fitton is not a lawyer. He can hire all the lawyers. Does Tom Fitton? Tom Fitton's not a lawyer. He can hire all the lawyers. Does Tom Fitton have credibility with everybody? If Tom Fitton looks you in the eye
Starting point is 00:04:10 after everything he's gone through and fought for and said, here's what is, would you believe Tom Fitton? Would you believe Tom Fitton will release all the documents? It's very simple. You name Tom Fitton a special prosecutor. He brings in a team of actual prosecutors. You go to the court and the first thing you do is petition the court to unseal all the sealed evidence, right? Number two is you take, collect all the other evidence, not just from the FBI and
Starting point is 00:04:38 the Justice Department, from every agency in our government and you put it forward, right? By the way, there may be some victim issues here. It just, that's going to have to be dealt with. You're going to have to deal with it. Do you guys want to see everything or just some things? You want to see everything? And you're prepared to take the accountability if that happens? Are you? Are you? You got to do a gut check. That's why I need these resolves this weekend. You do that. Also, the special prosecutor has a second mandate, and that is to be able to panel a
Starting point is 00:05:12 federal criminal grand jury that he can then bring all the evidence he finds, if he finds it, to the grand jury about the intelligence agencies and the interconnectivity with foreign governments, whether it's British government and MI6, the Saudi government and Saudi intelligence, Mossad and Shin Ben, and the Israeli government and the CIA and all the other 17 intelligence apparatuses that you're paying for. He must get to that to see if there's any interconnectivity and who actually governs the American people. So Steve, for people that were watching in the Washington Press Corps, in the White House, let's say, they say, why do people care about this so much? Explain it. Bring us into the MAGA mind. Let's just pan the audience. Raise your hand if the Epstein thing is very important to you raise your hand
Starting point is 00:06:05 Can we just show that pan shot really quick guys? Keep your hands up? It's a hundred percent every hand goes up So I have two hands up. It's but Steve. Why is it very important? This is by the way. This is ultra MAGA 2.0 MAGA Ultra MAGA as it gets number one. It's the crimes against children, right? The trafficking children but number two it's what that trafficking was used for, right? They have fought this from day one. And this is President Trump's hardest core base. These are the people that didn't run away in January 21.
Starting point is 00:06:38 When the election was stolen from him, he went back to Mar-a-Lago, and Fox News put up DeSantis, and they put up Nikki Haley and every other alternative. They said, hey, how about this? Screw you. We're for Trump. This is the hardest core base. And the only way this goes away, if these people, not just an answer, if they don't see a process that they can buy into,
Starting point is 00:07:00 that they think are going to treat them like adults and get the information to them, you know what they're going to say? I'm out. I'm out. And if they're out, there is no MAGA movement going forward. Why do you think the press corps didn't answer my question? They hate you. They hate MAGA. They hate the power you have over Washington, D.C. That's where they're going to roll over. They want this to go away. They know why? Because they know that you'll get just, OK,
Starting point is 00:07:26 I'm going to go away too. That's why there's not all the great stuff, the deportations, the tariffs, the economic program. This is why this is so important. And one of the tales you're going to have is what's happening in Ukraine and what's happening in the Middle East. The three most powerful institutions in Washington, DC. The
Starting point is 00:07:46 Federal Reserve, the Central Intelligence Agency, and CENCOM. Right? You've got the money in the brains. You've got the money. You've got the brains. You've got the muscle. All three of those must be brought to heel by this audience. The way we bring it to heel is you use Epstein is the tool to do it. We must use that tool. We must use it today. If we don't do it, let's just give up and go play. Let's just hang out, right? We'll have a concert here for two days and a picnic. We're not doing that. That's not why we're here. So Steve, walk us through the mechanics. Can the president appoint a special prosecutor without Congress? He has to get, by the way, the way because we use it prosecutor has to be
Starting point is 00:08:25 the special prosecutor has to be confirmed by congress but that's what we got the votes to do that you don't need sixty you it's fifty one votes we control that you just tell the republican party we basically get online every night and bombard their offices with emails with text message say you must do this tom fintons unknown guy he can get confirmed or Matt Gaetz Matt Gaetz would be the best how about Matt Gaetz would people like Matt Gaetz that case I mean that would be a no-brainer right I think I think what you do is a Fitton a special prosecutor maybe Matt
Starting point is 00:09:02 Gaetz is Attorney General if I don't think that'll happen with Senate confirmation. But Stephen, closing here. Hold it. There's everybody. There's not anybody. If the process showed us with Hegseth and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi, if you fix bayonets, there's nobody we can't get confirmed, right? You put the fear of God in Joni Ernst.
Starting point is 00:09:22 You put the fear of God in Tom Tillis. You put the fear of God in Joni Ernst you put the fear of God in Tom Tillis you put the fear of God in anybody we can get him confirmed maybe Gates is better holding the ball pin but our gates for Fenton he'll be ready for a line change I think Gates is right because there will be a line change at some point Steve in closing going into the midterms and beyond if the anger that I am getting from the audience on Epstein continues what will that mean politically if these people sit down if these people stay home we're gonna get blown out we're gonna lose 40 or 50 seats President Trump's gonna be
Starting point is 00:09:50 impeached they're gonna sit there and they'll plot and plan to steal 28 it'll be over the country will be over and half of you people will be in prison the other half will be bankrupt that's why it's all that's how important you think this is this is nothing more important By the way, tonight right after the five o'clock show I'm going to do a meet and greet with all of you. So I appreciate it. Steve, God bless. Thank you. Is Charlie Cook the best? Is this guy the greatest warrior we got? Love you guys. Thank you. Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion. About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

Why ReFi can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6% ensuring affordability and financial relief. Go to whyrefi.com. That is y-r-e-f-y.com. Do you have a co-borrower? Why ReFi can get them released from the loan and you can give mom or dad a break. Just call 888-whyrefi34. That is 888-whyrefi34. It may not be available in all 50 states. Can you imagine being debt free and not living under this burden anymore? We'll go to whyrefi.com. That is whyrefi.com. That is whyrefi.com that is why refi.com bad credit is accepted
Starting point is 00:11:08 and it do you have a co borrower well why refi can get them released from the loan that is why refi.com. Let's throw right now to the great legendary Ben Burquam. Ben is in the bullpen of the grassroots. Ben what are you hearing and seeing? Yeah well real quick Charlie to answer Steve's question about what needs to be done, just as important as Epstein is to your point, no amnesty. Zero amnesty. If you sell out on amnesty, you lose the base as well. Let's go around here. By the way, I want to start right here. I've got this young
Starting point is 00:11:38 lady here. Tell me your name. My name is Amelia. Amelia and you from Kazakhstan from Kazakhstan. Could you do vent in Kazakhstan? No, it's illegal. It's it's illegal and you're a Christian. What why are you here? What matters the most? Why are you MAGA? I am MAGA because it's the first of all it's a privilege that you as Americans you have this privilege that Hosting this event because in my country it's impossible hosting this event So I would really love to be a part of turning point USA maybe one day as my job so I came here and I'm really proud of being I guess you can consider me I guess so yeah that's why I came here I love that you guys love that is that
Starting point is 00:12:17 amazing amazing all right so we haven't had Charlie we have an answer for you here so about Epstein, why does this matter? And to somebody who still supports President Trump, what should we do? We just need to pray for President Trump. And if we have any way to reach out to him, I know Steve Bannon's got his ear. I think Charlie might too, but go ahead. Yes, absolutely. So sir, if President Trump was listening, what would your message be to him on this topic?
Starting point is 00:12:46 You're an ultra-maga guy. Yes. The same people that tried to coup you and steal the election and maybe tried to kill you are the ones telling you to cover up for Epstein. It's as simple as that. Why does Epstein, anyone in the audience, why does it matter to you? Anyone could raise your hand. Why is this important?
Starting point is 00:13:04 So, Epstein is important because if we can do everything before but they can still blackmail your politician, it does not matter because they will control your politician. We need the politicians who care about our voice, our values, our rights, our liberties. That does not matter if they get blackmailed. We need to expose this and get rid of it entirely. We cannot have a system of blackmail that controls our politicians and makes them work against us. No matter how good they are, no matter how nice they are, it does not matter if they are blackmailed and controlled.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Ben, find some other voices here. Yup, right over here. Yeah, to me there's a three-fold reason. First you have the moral reason. First of all, there was kids victimized. So that needs to be justice for those kids. Second of all, there's the political reason. We can't have President Trump dragged down into this mess caused by Epstein and ruin any Republican chances of running this country and third of all, there's the national reason We need details on Epstein because we need to know who's running our country and Your your name and where you from? My name is Silas Hudson. I'm president of the West Florida young Republicans up in the panhandle
Starting point is 00:14:03 I'm president of the West Florida Young Republicans up in the Panhandle. I love that. I'm gonna jump in here. I know you got it on that topic. I got a question for you. Is that all right? Sort of, yeah. That's not what we're doing right now, but sure. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So my question is, do you think that all these politicians that refuse to release the Epstein files, do you believe it's not only because some of them are obviously guilty, but also because it could completely and totally destroy things like the economic side of it. And then also just cause such a big headbutting in our in our country, which is already happening. I have no idea. First of all, I don't think President Trump is in the Epstein files. If they were, Biden would have leaked them three years ago instead of all the other lawfare. So this whole situation has just left me profoundly confused. That's the best answer I have.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And I know Cash and I know Dan. I'm confused as many of you in the audience because we were told that something was on Pam Bondi's desk. We were told that there were truckloads of documents coming. We were told that it was such an egregious revelation by other people in the administration. And so, look, we ran on transparency. And I think a lot of you guys in the audience
Starting point is 00:15:04 are demanding it in big numbers, so thank you. What would you say to President Trump if you could on this topic? So in my personal opinion, President Trump has been the most transparent president in American history. You saw what he did with Ukraine and Zelensky at the White House. We've never seen something like this before,
Starting point is 00:15:20 where you have an American president sitting in the Oval Office and basically telling the American people, this is what we are doing in our administration, this is what's happening to you, the American people. So I am a die-hard supporter of President Trump. I run the Turning Point USA program in California. I'm the president there, and I have my own show called the Roman Madero Show. I'd love to have you on, sir. Okay, we've grown it, and I guess I'm going off topic, my bad. But I guess what I'm saying here, ladies gentlemen is he's such a transparent president and I'm concerned just because I'm like Mr. Trump this isn't a great look on you because he was being he was being a little weird in the meeting with his with his staff
Starting point is 00:15:56 And I just thought come on. This isn't you this isn't a great look. We need to replace Pam Bondi remember She was a lobbyist for Qatar. Let's get that I I don't know, maybe I'll get canceled right now. The show's gonna go down, ladies and gentlemen. No, but remember she's a lobbyist for Qatar, so that's all I have to say is you're a transparent president, we love you, we know that you're working for us. Just be open. Give us the honest answers. I don't believe you're on it, and I believe most of the people I talk to on my show when I go and do street interviews They don't believe you're you are on it. We just want we want to see it. We want to see it We don't we don't want to see the you know the graphic videos or all that we just want to see the list We got to go Lisa. Thank you, man. Okay everybody the legendary Alex Clark is with us give it up for Alex Clark everybody
Starting point is 00:16:41 She was maja before it was cool. She was drinking raw milk lattes before it was fashionable. She was leading people to question the child that vaccination schedule before it was mainstream. It's Alex Clark, everybody give it up for Alex Clark. So, Alex, you are one of the primary leaders of the maja movement, make America healthy movement. My opinion on maja and I got this from Jack Posobic, and I think this is right, we're having a little bit of, let's just say, disagreement on foreign policy,
Starting point is 00:17:10 disagreement on immigration, but Maha has really held strong and is doing what they said they were going to do. Bobby Kennedy, Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Marty McCary, what has the Maha agenda achieved so far in our government, and where do you think this movement is going? Yeah so first of all MAHA should not be underestimated. This is one of the most powerful political arms of the Trump administration and it's gonna transcend MAGA and this is gonna keep going throughout multiple presidential administrations so you should be very
Starting point is 00:17:38 excited. If we can cinch the midterms I think MAHA will have a large part to do with that so we should not lighten up on the Maha conversation at all as a political party. That being said, achievements so far, I mean, first of all, we just axed a bunch of people on the CDC committee that were compromised, whose primary job is working on the childhood vaccine schedule. So we want people with unbiased opinions getting in there finding out the facts. The other thing is we're removing fluoride from our water in several states which is huge. It was actually an Obama appointed judge who finally came out and admitted that fluoride is lowering your child's IQ. So we've got to get that out of the water, stop using fluoride, toothpaste, etc. And then also we're getting soda off a snap in multiple states. That is supposed to be supplemental nutrition. Coca-Cola makes
Starting point is 00:18:28 the most money from snap than anything else. Can I interject? So snap is food stamps, right? So snap and EBT, right? And so in no way should American taxpayer dollars go towards the obesity epidemic. Yeah, we're literally funding the obesity epidemic and then we're having to pay for that. So the whole thing is super backwards and diabolical and evil. If you want to eat junk, then pay for that. But we should be finding ways, which we are, for Americans to get healthier, real organic food. We're also looking into the baby formula industry, checking out the nutritional guidelines on baby formula.
Starting point is 00:19:02 This is huge. That's a big one. Operation Stork Speed, which is cute. And of course, we banned artificial food dyes, officially. Now, the big one for me, Alex, that I'm pushing Bobby Kennedy on, we need to say no more pharmaceutical advertisements on TV. Do you guys agree? No more pharma ads on TV. Why is that one so important?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Okay, so when you see a golden retriever frolicking through a field and then you're hearing something about diarrhea, it's not so that you'll actually go to your doctor and say, hey, can I take this medication? It's so that the pharma companies can control the news and information that they are reporting. There is a reason why during the pandemic you did not see any alternative information about, you know, the different medical products that they are reporting. There is a reason why during the pandemic you did not see any alternative information about you know the different medical products that they were forcing us to take because every single broadcast was sponsored and bought and paid for by Pfizer for example. That is hugely corrupt. Only America and New Zealand do that worldwide. Everyone else in the world thinks that we're crazy for that. It's truly demonic and so that is something that we're yeah I'm glad that
Starting point is 00:20:03 you're pushing Bobby on that because we need to get that done I think we could move a little faster on that honestly We need we need to know more pharmaceutical ads by the way you know how much better it will be to watch a football game without these ridiculous pharma ads that are inserted every other commercial and Without without their ability to buy the media. We're gonna get more honest media And you're right when they advertise do you notice the production value is so low of these pharma ads they don't even have celebrity endorsers like they don't care It's just like b-roll of like people hugging in a barn because they're buying the news company They're not trying to sell a product so by and large pharma is funding the news networks base
Starting point is 00:20:42 Basically entirely on their own so when that crumbles and we take their ability to advertise on mainstream news away, I think we're gonna see a lot of these corrupt mainstream news organizations completely crumble and go away. So we should also be very excited for that. More reliance on independent journalists out there like Charlie.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Yeah, and so, and then on top of that, by the way, you have super fans out there. He says, Alex, marry me. You got big fans out there like Charlie. Yeah, and so, and then on top of that, by the way, you have super fans out there. He says, Alex, marry me. You got big fans out there, Alex. Big Maha fans. So, and you can follow Alex Clark on social media. Is it, what is it on, what is it on social? It's like Yo Real.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Oh, no, no, on Twitter, on X, it's Yo Alex Raps with his Z. Don't judge me, I was in eighth grade and, you know, it was a plan, yo, MTV wraps. That's hilarious. Other parts of Maha though, the childhood vaccination schedule, are we making progress on informed consent
Starting point is 00:21:32 and hepatitis B, et cetera, for moms to learn more about the childhood vaccination schedule? I hope, I think with hepatitis B, that would be the one vaccine that would be very easy and universally accepted for Bobby Kennedy to come out and be like, hey, we're taking this completely
Starting point is 00:21:47 off the schedule. Your brand new perfect baby does not need the Hep B vaccine. That is for somebody who's gonna be exposed to prostitutes and STDs and sharing needles. So a brand new baby just by large doesn't need that. I think most of America agrees that would be a very easy one to take off. So yes, I'd like to see that happen.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Now let's go deeper into the whole maha move. So part of it is nutrition, and then it's also pharmaceuticals, but it's also personnel. So Bobby Kennedy is trying to realign the entire federal bureaucracy to be more in the maha mold. And he has done a remarkable job of executing on this. What would you say are some of the other big goals for the movement in government
Starting point is 00:22:28 with Bobby Kennedy at the helm? Well, I know that we- Obesity is a big one. Yeah, obesity is a big one. I would say fixing the food in our government schools. That's by and large, I think, probably the first thing that they're tackling this year for year one.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And of course, we're only, I mean, halfway through year one, we still got three more years. And I know that President Trump had a conversation with Bobby that said, hey, I need to see a significant difference in the chronic disease epidemic that it's reversing within two years, we're gonna have a different conversation.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So far, so good, I think. So I think we've got a lot more ahead of us. Gentlemen, let's get real for a second. Are you frustrated with today's woke dating apps, the apps, the games, the endless swiping? It's a waste of time. Finding a woman who shares your values, faith, family and patriotism feels nearly impossible, but it doesn't have to be. Selective search, America's leading matchmaking firm is changing the game.

So Alex, you're very much in touch with the Maha moms. You have tens of thousands of them that you communicate with. Is that right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:28 The Maha Moms. So the Maha Moms voted for Trump. They're very supportive of President Trump and the Make America Healthy Again agenda. Are they caring at all about the Epstein thing? Is that something that you have seen them remark about? I don't know. Women in the audience, do you care about the Epstein stuff? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. Yeah, I think it's actually massive. I was a little surprised to see everyone's kind of trying to brush this under the rug. We have been baited on this for years, told that we were going to get the information this year. They keep pushing the timeline, moving the goalpost, and then we don't have it yet.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And a lot of people are asking questions because we are talking about abused children. Abused children. So people do want answers. I have tons of questions myself and things that just are not adding up at all. I don't understand. I don't understand acting like,
Starting point is 00:25:23 oh, we can just move on from this. So why is it, let's just say, maha moms, why would you say it's massive? Explain it to a White House staffer right now that is not as in touch with the grassroots. What is it about this story that has people so interested in it? Sexually abused children.
Starting point is 00:25:40 There is nothing more powerful politically than an angry mother. And you have angry mothers across the United States who want answers because they know that there were raped and abused children by Epstein, by his friends. If there was no list, how do you explain what Jelaine Maxwell was doing? I don't understand what her role was. What is she in prison for? So these are things that don't add up to me. They don't add up to moms across America and it makes them... that was also a... that was a core campaign promise. That we were going to get this information and now we're being told no.
Starting point is 00:26:17 So that's ruffling feathers quite a bit. Yeah and so what would you say is the feedback you're getting? Just synthesize it. Confusion, anger, disappointment. How would you categorize it? They feel confused. They definitely feel gaslit. They feel lied to. And they're not understanding why for months now we've been told the list is coming. You know, you have the binder debacle. So there's a lot of things here that it's been like dangled in front of us like a carrot and then pulled away. And so inevitably that's going to leave people with a feeling of there's something they're not telling us. That is a dangerous feeling to let simmer and sit with a voter base because then
Starting point is 00:26:52 they're going to start focusing on that and wondering what else are we not being told? Is everything we're being told truthful? So it's sowing seeds of doubt in the mothers and the mothers won you the 2024 election. Maha won us the election. By and large, I knew, and young people of course, but I knew when the Harris campaign refused to sit down with Bobby Kennedy, I knew that that was going to be a big mistake for them if not one of the biggest.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And the fact that Trump was willing to sit down with him, I think really gained us millions of female voters so if we are trying to keep them especially looking at the midterms we have to take this seriously and we cannot just say oh who we're done talking about Epstein who cares about this aren't we moved on that will be one of the biggest mistakes heading into midterms yeah and let's just add on to that and just more broadly government transparency talk about it also not just from a mom standpoint but also from a Yeah, and let's just add on to that, and just more broadly, government transparency. Talk about it also not just from a mom standpoint,
Starting point is 00:27:47 but also from a younger voter standpoint, because you talk to a lot of our younger voters. Why are younger voters also so interested in this story, what you see online, what you are consuming? Talk to a White House staffer again that's watching this that isn't on social media all the time. All right, so Gen Z values more than anything Authenticity that is why Gen Z social media feeds are not super aesthetic and curated and tik-toks are really wild and unfiltered and
Starting point is 00:28:13 Kind of crazy. It's because they love authenticity. That's what they love about President Trump So as soon as theme as as soon as things start seeming Sort of inauthentic that's gonna be a dangerous boat to rock. So go deeper in that but so for a young person that is hyper online they look at this story as you tell me the truth basically is that right? Yeah I think this is a really big opportunity to get something right and personally it makes me wonder is Candace Owens right? Is Israel implicated in the files and that's why
Starting point is 00:28:49 we're not getting the files? And by the way Alex is not off on some sort of separate track here. Foreign intelligence like Jeffrey Epstein we don't know. We don't know if it's a Mossad, is it Saudi Arabia, is it MI6 or was he an intelligence asset for the CIA? It could be any one of those. And so you have to wonder, like, because here's, I will die on this hill. President Trump is not in the Epstein files with anything incriminating.
Starting point is 00:29:12 If he was, Joe Biden would have leaked it and he would have tried the end of the campaign the way. That hill I will die on. Anyone that's suggesting that, and I think you all should be in agreement that way. However, however, I don't, maybe there is some intelligence connection here, foreign intelligence, domestic intelligence, because I know we were told that there's a list
Starting point is 00:29:32 on a desk, right, and that we were gonna get a list. Yeah, so you can't tell voters we have the list, you're going to get it, and then say, I don't understand why you're still talking about this, let's move on. So yeah, hopefully we get some answers, because you guys wanna know who's on the list, right? Really quick, Alex, one minute remaining.
Starting point is 00:29:50 What is your favorite new health hack that you want everyone to do? Is it raw milk, fasting, saunas? What is your one health hack for the audience? Red light therapy. Red light therapy is a game changer. I agree. It will grow your hair, it will clear your skin hair it will clear your skin. That's why I need hair cut so often It's because I'm doing red light therapy. I
Starting point is 00:30:11 Need a haircut like every three weeks because you're doing red light therapy Charlie's doing you're doing hyperbaric chambers I'm like a biohacker extraordinary. Yeah him and Gary Bracca. They're like this It's how I'm able to you know work for 14 hours non-stop Alex. You're the greatest. Thank you so much Give it up for Alex Clark everybody We're here with the legendary congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna give it up for Ana But first I want to throw to Ben Burkwan Ben. What are we hearing? We got a minute So what do you guys think we got a young guy how old are you? I'm 15 15 out here. What matters to you does this Epstein matter to you? What issues matter to you?
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah, I think the Epstein matters to me a lot because I think the fate and the trust of the government is on the line here I think President Trump should tell Pam Bondi to do a press conference The American people have a lot of questions and I think they need to be answered Yeah, and should we be in there or the mainstream media? I think what the White House is doing with all this new media is great. I think the legacy media is fading. It's getting old. Nobody watches it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 This new media is really great. And I totally support it. Yeah, Charlie, I think, too, what Alex said about authenticity, I think that's so key. That's what people want, authenticity. Coming over here, young lady, what about you? Epstein, does it matter to you? Yes, I think it's so key, that's what people want. Authenticity, all right, coming over here, young lady, what about you? Epstein, does it matter to you? Yes, I think it's super important
Starting point is 00:31:28 and Trump needs to help bring light to that, yeah. Will he lose his base if he doesn't? Yeah, I think he will, yeah. Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna is here. So Ana, you are a transparency missile, like a tomahawk missile. What do you make of this Epstein situation? I think that the rollout has contributed to a lot of the reason why Americans are so upset because there's so much conflicting information.
Starting point is 00:31:57 And although I've exhausted all of my legislative abilities to obtain any information pertaining to Epstein, I'm going to be reaching out on behalf of the American people because this is not just a Republican-based issue. It's an independent issue. It's a Democrat issue. There is an issue of trust that's been created because of how this optically looks right now. And so I'm going to be asking for information.
Starting point is 00:32:18 No one wants CSAM materials. No one wants victim information, but they do want to know who was involved. And I think that that's something that the administration needs to dive into. Yeah, and so, I mean, there's a lot of questions surrounding this. When you hear from voters, what is that, would you say it's one of the top issues you've heard about in the last week? When I, yes, most certainly last week, I go online, my office is being called about it,
Starting point is 00:32:42 and actually when I initially ran for Congress, one of the top issues in my community that I represent is government transparency and ending government corruption. So this is not just a fundraising thing for me, this is a legitimate issue. And I think when you say that there's a lot of children that have been harmed, I think as a parent, it's a very serious issue.
Starting point is 00:33:04 You wanna make sure that people that were doing those bad things are being held accountable. Yeah, without a doubt. And I think that's what makes people so angry about this that I'm hearing from you guys, is that there's one rule of code. There's basically one standard for the elites and then a standard for us. And one of the powers of our movement was that we wanted the people to be back in charge. And I'm sorry, the fact that none of the powers of our movement was that we wanted the people to be back in charge and I'm sorry the fact that none of the super elite people that raped kids are in jail But that we had January 6 prisoners that were facing years in jail. There's something deeply unsettling about that There's something very wrong about that because from the best of my knowledge
Starting point is 00:33:43 Did any of those billionaires that raped kids go to jail? No, and I think though, when you don't release information, even information that might not necessarily, like there's information photos from the crime scene, all of it, all of that should be out there because when you don't talk about it, it creates a void for conspiracy theories. And the thing is, is that if you're trying to be transparent,
Starting point is 00:34:03 you're trying to disprove that, then there needs to be total transparency in regards to those topics and what I will say is that the model on how the administration rolled out GFK massive success there's gonna be document drops on Martin Luther King soon as well they need to do the same thing for Jeffrey Epstein and transparency needs to be the goal you have other announcements to things you're working on tell us about it well I can tell you that just on Friday, kudos to the CIA Director Ratcliffe. He actually released previously hidden files, and I'm talking for decades, a file on a CIA operative
Starting point is 00:34:34 known as Joe Needies, who actually had known contact with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination on JFK. And per our findings, Charlie, a lot of people are saying, well, was there success in the investigations? Most certainly. What we know now for a fact is that the CIA engaged in a cover-up in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. We know that according to witness testimony and also to according from documents, actually from the CIA in those document drops,
Starting point is 00:34:56 that the CIA rejected the lone gunman theory that there were multiple shooters and that, in my opinion, a rogue faction of the CIA engaged in cover-up of the Kennedy assassination and had contact with those that pulled the triggers, and triggers meaning both, multiple shooters. And so when you start to look into this, I think this is one of the reasons why people are so fired up about it, is that Kennedy was one of the great violations against our own country's sovereignty by the intel agencies. Do you think Epstein had Intel agency ties?
Starting point is 00:35:25 I think when you're looking, the Daily Mail just did a great article that came out that said he had passports with his identity in bags of diamonds. I don't know about you, Charlie, but I'm not rolling around with passports and bags of diamonds, and that does smell of Intel operations,
Starting point is 00:35:37 and I know that I've seen on the internet there's been admissions that he had ties to the Intel community. So look, if that's the truth, it needs to be out there. I don't believe in covering up for things and it's not in my job description to cover up for those types of people. Well, God bless you for that. Ana Paulina is doing amazing work fighting on Capitol Hill. And so much of this is hidden from Congress, unfortunately, right?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah, we were, we made multiple inquiries and didn't receive a response. And I want to just also clarify too though, I'm seeing a lot of people get caught up in this. Director Patel, Dan Bongino, they can't release anything unless the DOJ gives them authorization. The press secretary is not, she's not a bad person, so I see a lot of people that are angry, but they're misdirecting their fire. I think Well, I think that we need to I know what the audience wants and I know what the American people deserve more than anything else This confusion has unfortunately we signed the big beautiful bill last week
Starting point is 00:36:36 No one's talking about the big beautiful bill at this conference, right? They're all talking about this situation road you agree I have gone and I've done media all morning The only question I'm getting is on this. And so what I will say is that there is information that we are going to be asking to be released. Obviously, I think that it's creating a trust issue. And I would argue that the biggest trust issue we had prior to this was the assassination of JFK. Yep. And by the way, we still don't have all the answers of Butler a year ago with Donald Trump. we still don't have all the answers of Butler a year ago with Donald Trump. Annapolina, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Making America great again, starts with making America healthy again. Charlie Kirk here. I lost 40 pounds with the PhD weight loss and nutrition program. And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back. I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule. Most people start a weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule. Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier. So why is Big Pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite? They have harmful side effects and lifelong
Starting point is 00:37:36 dependency. Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a Big Pharma bottom line. PhD changes the way you think about food. They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule. You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat. You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication. Call 866-644-1900 to schedule your one-on-one consultation or visit myphdweightloss.com. That is my phdweightloss.com 864-644-1900. We have two incredible Turning Point USA Warriors. We have Jack Posobic, everyone knows from Human Events Daily. And then also the intrepid, the gritty and the legendary Julio Rojas.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Give it up for Julio everybody, he does a great job. Julio, let's start with you. Julio, you are without a doubt one of the most effective frontline reporters in the country. Tell everybody about what you do and what you are learning on the front lines right now. It's getting crazy out there. I just got back from Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:38:42 It is getting dangerous. It's not just crazy. It's getting very, very dangerous. And it's something that I've been worrying about for a while because the issue of immigration was going to be the issue that the far left was going to mobilize to get out back out into the streets, you know, after 2020 and 2021. So we've seen Ventura County, they raided a weed farm, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:02 they found unaccompanied miners working working there, along with other illegals. And you see the community, the local community, getting violent with the federal agents. And so it is without an exaggeration that we are in the early stages of a left-wing insurrection, but like a real insurrection. Tell us more. What are you seeing for the audience that
Starting point is 00:39:23 doesn't understand the grasp or the depth of the tenacity of left-wing activists? Tell us more. Yeah, so I was in Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. So the riots in 2020, which I covered, were vast and extensive, right? Very few people, relative to the people that participated in those, were held accountable. And most importantly, the left-wing networks remained intact to this day, which is why they're so easily able to mobilize and get people out using social media,
Starting point is 00:39:55 using group chats, and of course distorting what's happening out there. So they are very effective in being able to mobilize people and to get them to be violent. And it doesn't take a whole lot now these days. What is the one thing you've learned about these insurrectionist forces on the ground that are anti-immigration enforcement that you think the grassroots should know about?
Starting point is 00:40:18 Well, like I said at the beginning, they're dangerous. You know, you don't, we're seeing now that they're targeting other undercover officers. I mean, just the other day in Los Angeles County, they attacked the county sheriff's department because they thought that they were ICE, even though they're clearly marked as being sheriffs. So I don't necessarily have concerns. I live here. My home state is Florida. So I don't have necessarily concerns about things getting out of control here in this state, but the illegal immigrant population is spread out all across the country,
Starting point is 00:40:49 and so yes, the focus is on Los Angeles, Chicago, and other sanctuary cities, but that doesn't say that there's not a other red state like Iowa or Nebraska, where those same open border advocate forces can mobilize there to cause problems. So basically, you have to be prepared for anything. So that's Julio Rosas everybody. So then Jack let me ask you, you've covered frontline riots, you've
Starting point is 00:41:12 covered kind of the up, you know, let's just say the uproar that's happening in the cities. It's bad out there right now. What's our audience know about? There was a piece that ran in Axios yesterday and I know Axios isn't exactly a right-wing site but I want you to read this because this is something where they have Democrat congressional members on record saying this, five of them, and what are they saying? They said what we're hearing from our constituents on the issue of ICE is chilling to the bone to us. They're saying, their constituents are calling in,
Starting point is 00:41:46 these are left-wing Democrat liberals saying, we want blood. We want blood in the streets. They said you must, and this is Axios, it's not me, they said prepare for violence. They said you should be ready to storm Trump's White House. That's how feral and deranged they are They said you should be ready to storm Trump's White House. That's how feral and deranged they are because we've put them out of power.
Starting point is 00:42:10 You understand? We put them out of power and they had power at every institution, every level of government. What we did with the greatest populist revolution this country has seen since 1776 was to put them completely out of power. But that doesn't mean they've gone away So since they've lost soft power since they've lost Governmental power now they've turned to insurrectionary power They've turned to to hard power to violence to gunshots. We've got the piece right there. You can go see it I'm quoting directly from this Axios piece
Starting point is 00:42:42 What did we see yesterday? The minute that ICE agents started showing up at this raid in California, they started opening fire. That was an assassination attempt on these ICE agents. And so now look, and by the way, I know everybody wants to make fun of Antifa, and I've gone in and I infiltrated Chaz and Huli was there and so many other people and all this. I know, I get it, they're weird weird-looking they're misshapen they're impotent but but they are more willing to use violence than the right is and they will they will show up with guns they're already showing up with guns and
Starting point is 00:43:19 they're using them to shoot and I hate to say this they're using to shoot law enforcement they're using to shoot shoot, and I hate to say this, they're using them to shoot law enforcement, they're using them to shoot firefighters, to go after ICE agents, and they're going to continue, and they're all across this country. They're dangerous in large numbers. That's how their tactics are. So then, Jack, let's go a step deeper. Who is funding this?
Starting point is 00:43:40 Where's the money coming from for this entire network? Well, Charlie, unfortunately, you've got American billionaires, many cases who are involved in multinational corporations who actually benefit from the workforce of these illegal aliens or people coming in. They're hiring them en masse. Many of this, unfortunately, worked
Starting point is 00:44:01 in the agricultural sector. You see it in other labor sectors as well. Purdue gets hit on this again and again. And so when you start peeling back the layer of the the infrastructure, the merger of this corporate power that wants the cheap labor force, which and let's just call it what it is folks, it's slave labor, okay? It's slave labor and in many cases what was it Gavin Newsom yesterday right? Gavin Newsom yesterday, right? Gavin Newsom comes in and says, hey, you can't use tear gas on these farms
Starting point is 00:44:30 because there's children there. I said, Gavin, why are there children working on the cannabis farms? Those are child slaves that were trafficked from Mexico and other parts of Latin America. That's happening on your watch. And you're trying to turn around and say that it's Trump's fault. No, Trump is the one trying to save these children with Tom Homan and you've seen Tom Homan give
Starting point is 00:44:52 interview after interview about how it emotionally affects him and I hate to say this folks but there are American billionaires and corporate just these corporate overlords that are absolutely funding these things because there are billions and billions of dollars at stake with this. I want to play some pieces of tape here. Let's go to Cut 344, Hakeem Jeffries. One House Democrat saying quote, and I'll read it to you, our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough.
Starting point is 00:45:23 There needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public. How do you respond to that, leader Jeffries? Are Democrats not meeting the, not doing enough to fight these developments? Well we are in a more is more environment in terms of the unprecedented assault on the American way of life and our country that has been launched by Donald Trump and compliant House Republicans. Jack, explain what he was saying. So he's co-signing. I don't know how else to explain this. He did not denounce it. He did not say no. He said we have to understand. No, we don't have to understand. We have to start doing mass arrests of all of these networks, all
Starting point is 00:46:05 of the people that are involved in this, absolutely arrest the people hiring these illegals and go all the way as far up the chain as you possibly can. And maybe, I don't know, maybe we'll see some of those names involved in these Epstein files. Who knows? But at the end of the day, this is absolutely horrific. When you've got, imagine, I know doing the conservative cliche, but imagine if that was Jack Posobik and Charlie Kirk, right, coming out and saying things like this when you had some right wing reactionaries saying that we need to go mow down people.
Starting point is 00:46:36 This is sick, it's disgusting, and it's going to lead to dead cops. Julio, do you think that there's a funding network behind all of this? Oh, absolutely. I mean, we need Cash Patel and Dan Bongino to cut off the money that is funding these attacks on our law enforcement immediately. Yeah. So why has that not been done yet? I mean that that that is a question that needs to be asked and I know that a lot of people are interested in the EPSCIM files and all
Starting point is 00:47:01 that but what I've been saying is that right now, like I said, we're in the beginning stages of a left-wing insurrection, and that is a clear and present danger to not just the federal agents, but regular Americans as well. Yeah, no, everyone, this is important. We've been so focused on Epstein the last couple of days that we're missing that there were people pushing President Trump for amnesty.
Starting point is 00:47:20 We covered that extensively on our show. And Jack, the future of America goes through its cities. If you cannot control your cities, you don't control the country. The cities are the economic engines of the United States of America. And I know that there's this idea that, hey, we're conservatives, we don't live in the cities,
Starting point is 00:47:36 but guess what? If you lose your cities, you will lose your entire country. So at the end of the day, if our cities are out of control, then it's incumbent upon us to put them back under control. Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna take back the cities because it wasn't liberals that built the cities, it was us. We need to show dominion over the cities
Starting point is 00:47:59 and exert control over LA, over Chicago. And by the way, if these mayors keep on defying federal law enforcement, it is time to start indicting and perp walking Brandon Johnson and Karen Bass and these Democrat mayors that get in the way of ICE doing its job. We need indictments of these mayors. You know one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, Especially when it comes to crypto. But the truth, most of these so-called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Fully capable of freezing your assets the moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call. That is not what Bitcoin was built for. That's why I use Bitcoin.com. I just did a major transaction on it. They offer a self-custodial wallet which means you hold the keys. You control your assets. No one can touch your crypto, not the IRS or not a rogue bank, not some three-letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do. This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin, peer-to-peer money, free from centralized control, free from surveillance, and free from arbitrary seizure. So if you're serious about
Starting point is 00:49:04 financial sovereignty, go to bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control, because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money. Bitcoin.com, freedom starts here. Ben Burkwam is with us. Ben, do you want to comment on the insurrection in our streets?
Starting point is 00:49:19 You know it better than anybody else. Yeah, no, I've been covering it for years. I got these stitches in Berkeley. I've been with Julio and a lot of the guys out there from the beginning. And so for people to understand this, this is all connected. It's the same organizations.
Starting point is 00:49:32 It's the same indivisible Act Blue, now the No Kings. It's all the same apparatus as Julio was talking about. None of that has been dismantled. And one of the things going back to the Epstein list and everything we're talking about this morning, until we have equal protection under the law, until we actually have justice against the criminals, the real insurrectionists that want to destroy this country, we don't have a country.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And I think that goes back to the larger point. We need prosecutions on all of these individuals, organizations that are actually actively working to destroy our country from within. It was Antifa, BLM, now it's millions of illegals and jihadists that are working against our country. And so until we actually dismantle those those organizations and apparatus, we don't have a country. And it all ties back to everything else we're talking about, the same people that are pushing illegals in the chambers of commerce, all of it. We've got to expose it all.
Starting point is 00:50:21 You're the best, Ben. Stay right there. Email us, freedom at CharlieKirk.com. We have some breaking news about the FBI. All right, folks. This is breaking news out of the FBI. Another shout out to Axios. We've got an Axios guy here, by the way. And listen to this, folks. FBI's Dan Bongino is clashing with AG Bondi
Starting point is 00:50:42 over handling of the Epstein files. And and in fact it says that according to four sources Bongino did not show up to work today at the FBI after this huge argument That he got into with AG bondi and this is what I'm hearing this now for the first time the dispute erupted Wednesday amid the falling out So this has been brewing for a couple of days now now. It's filling out into the media. They're saying damn bond Gino potentially could walk from the FBI over this So What would you what would that make things better?
Starting point is 00:51:21 We kind of want Dan there don't we so we'd hate to lose him over something like this. Give me your instant analysis, Jack Possobitt. Well, Charlie, my instant analysis is as a movement, right, as a movement, as a figure in the movement, as Dan is huge. He's been a leader in this movement. He's been an absolute champion of this movement. But he's only as strong as his word.
Starting point is 00:51:44 And his word is only rest on his integrity. President Trump's integrity, A.G. Bondi's integrity, your integrity, Charlie, my integrity, that's all we have left. And so at the end of the day, this isn't necessarily about Dan Bongino or me or Binder, no, it's about the victims of a serial industrial level pedophile and the people who are being protected that were involved in this network.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And so what I think Dan is doing is using any leverage that he has to be able to try to fight for those victims. Now, I would love, of course, if this could be handled in a manner where obviously we want Dan to be there. We want an AG there like Pam Bondi who's going after all of the incredible things that she's doing on the ICE raids and the investigations and the cartels. But at the same time, this has become such a firestorm of an issue and still this was promised to the American people over and over and over again. So Julio, I know you've been too busy covering the insurrection in our cities, but this is a big issue I think on social media.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Would you say this is, how primary is this amongst your audience? It's top of mind for sure. I mean, obviously when people want results, right? They want results on immigration, they want results with the economy, and this was something that the president campaigned on, having more transparency.
Starting point is 00:53:09 It is unfortunate that people's reaction to, when that memo was reported on, that the reaction is, well, of course, that was what was gonna be the end result. We kind of, there was never really a hope that this was ever gonna be seen through. And understandably, yeah, the federal government just in general just has that deficit in trust and credibility. And so I think I understand why people are so invested in this because of the crimes,
Starting point is 00:53:37 the nature of the crimes that were committed. Ben, what is your instant reaction to the Dan Bongino news, Ben Birquam? Yeah, I love Dan. But I think that's the point. To Jack's point, it's all about integrity. If he sees something going on there that he can't stand behind, the right move is to be loud about it or walk. And I respect him immensely.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Same with cash. I mean, I'm looking at these guys, and I'm saying, the American people see it, we see through it. We know you guys see it, so you better do something. Because if you lose that integrity, you've got nothing left. Yeah, and so on top of that, Ben, you talk to the grassroots. For people that are just tuning in, would you say this is top of mind for most of the people here in the audience right now? Yeah, I mean, it's top of mind in particular because it's top in the news right now it's one of the big things but it's also because we've
Starting point is 00:54:27 been hearing about it for so long. We understand it and it affects both sides and that's a difference. The MAGA base I think really doesn't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat. If you're on that list and you were raping children you need to be in prison at minimum if not executed. This is this is the mindset of MAGA. I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat. And so all of this, it all goes back to if we don't have equal protection, if I don't trust that I'm getting the same level
Starting point is 00:54:54 of constitutional rights and justice that some billionaire is getting, then I don't trust my government. And so it's bigger than just the Epstein list. It's about trusting our government. And if we don't have that, you lose all of those people, at least enough of them to make it to where you hand the country back to the Republican elite class
Starting point is 00:55:14 and the Democrat elite class that drove us into this hell that we lived in under Biden. Final thoughts, Jack, and then Julio, really quick. At the end of the day, look, this is Donald Trump's movement, all right? This is his movement, and there's been a lot of signal. There's the back, end of the day. Look, this is this is Donald Trump's movement All right. This is his movement and there's been a lot of signal There's the back there's the fourth and at the end of the day This is a movement about justice for the things that the Biden administration the Obama administration
Starting point is 00:55:37 That they did okay. This is about things that they did and for President Trump He understands above all that all of these messes that by the way folks he didn't have to do any of this he did it because he cares about this country he cares about the children and he cares about the American people and that's why we've got his back through thick and thin Julio final thought ten seconds yeah I would just say that on the issue of immigration you know definitely don't don't let up there's been a lot of Julio, final thought, 10 seconds. Yeah, I would just say that on the issue of immigration, definitely don't let up.
Starting point is 00:56:07 There's been a lot of stop stories. There's been a lot of manipulation. I covered the border crisis the entire four years. We do not want to go back to that. I can assure you, we do not want to go back to that issue because we will lose the country. Amen. So I think it would be great for the audience
Starting point is 00:56:22 to hear from some of our top students at Turning Point USA. What are they thinking? What are they fighting for? What is it like on campus? I thought no better way to do that with the legendary Ben Berquam, who will walk us through it. Ben, you are surrounded by some of our superstars that are all running Turning Point USA chapters.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I want everyone in the audience to know that Turning Point USA is the biggest and most important organization of the country I know I'm biased but what could be more important than winning over the next generation? And and by the way Charlie, I know you get a lot of accolades But I've been watching you since you were a young buck like two years ago No, I mean like, you know when you started this thing People don't realize how young you were when you started this this we've been talking a lot about Epstein a lot about the border a lot
Starting point is 00:57:04 About these issues that really matter. This is what matters. If we don't get this right, we lose our country. My biggest fear is that the David Hoggs and the communist leftists take over our country, but this gives me hope, this group of people. So tell me, Student Action, you guys are the leadership, Turning Point USA, where are you from, what matter, what's your name? Where are you from? And what are the top issues for you guys?
Starting point is 00:57:28 Yes sir, my name is Sloan Wayman. I attend Stanford University in California and the biggest issue that we face is definitely social. So the culture war is real. The culture war is absolutely real and the main problem that we face is conservatives being way too afraid to speak up and speak out against the loud left that is so pervasive on our campus. What would you say is the percentage of conservative in particular MAGA people that are willing to speak at Stanford versus the radical leftist blue-haired nutjob commies? Very very small percentage of people. There is actually a pretty large population of conservative students at
Starting point is 00:58:04 Stanford more than people would imagine, but many people just do not want to speak out. And so there's a small percentage of us who are proud, proud Trump supporters, proud conservatives, and we support him, we support the movement, and we need to get more people involved, more people not afraid to speak out, and that is exactly what Turning Point at Stanford is going to do. We're working on it. And as much of that we're just talking about Antifa in these groups as they get away with violence that was actually I believe by design is to scare people into submission so God bless you for
Starting point is 00:58:34 standing up. Go from Stanford to Berkeley. That's right my name is John Paul Leone and I am the president of my chapter at UC Berkeley and I think the issue that is most important or at least for, that I like to focus on, is the issue of abortion, which is that we have this new upcoming movement from the left that is trying to deprive our most fundamental human life from our most vulnerable people.
Starting point is 00:58:57 And so I think it's something that's very much opposing God, and we need to bring back God into our university, and bring back God into our lives and into our politics. So to the elitist Republicans, are you listening to that? You want to take it off ballot? You don't want to talk about, are you guys afraid to talk about any of these topics that would scare off some of the people on the Republican side? In my experience, I found many many people that are afraid. But all it takes is one fourth right person to stand up and hold his belief Strongly and you'll rally up your base
Starting point is 00:59:30 There are many conservatives hiding in the shadows at Berkeley too scared to speak out, but they're coming and it's all because of Charlie Kirk It's all because of our movement today, and we're gonna make huge waves and bring God into our lives. Amen. Amen I love that that's key and bring God into our lives. Amen, amen. I love that. That's key. Private student loan debt in America totals over 300 billion dollars.

And one of my biggest beliefs is anti-trans youth. Because as a Christian now, back then when I was 13, 14 years old, I was actually a part
Starting point is 01:00:58 of the community. And I tried to go behind my mom's back and I tried to do all this stuff. I thought I was non-binary because people were telling me I was this and I didn't get to think for myself and whenever Jesus Christ came into my life, he changed me. He changed my beliefs. I want to start cheering up talking about this,
Starting point is 01:01:16 but my life was completely flipped. I was once going from a complete raging leftist and now I'm a leader at Turning Point in my high school. I'm the most outspoken person at my high school, and I'm not scared to share my beliefs. I'm not scared to share the truth of Jesus Christ, and I'm not scared to share that minors should not be transitioned.
Starting point is 01:01:36 That should not be allowed at all. And obviously, parents having their children taken away from them in California because they won't let them get this is beyond Disgraceful and it should not be allowed at all So Ben Ben, let me in a man hazel Can you talk more about because it shouldn't be glossed over you were 14 you you thought you were trans or non-binary and You were sucked into this. What were you sucked into? This happens to thousands of young girls
Starting point is 01:02:05 every day across the country. Tell us more about it and what saved you from going under that horrendous transition. I have to say my parents definitely saved me. My parents are the ones, they helped me grow up in a Christian household. And yes, I did go behind their backs and it was extremely hard because right after COVID,
Starting point is 01:02:22 that's whenever all this started getting pushed onto me, I kept seeing on social media that all these people were transitioning, all these people were coming out of the closets. And for me, I just looked at that and I thought, oh yeah, I guess that's me. And people started pushing that on me. And I'm not the only one at my school that has gone through this. I've seen multiple girls saying that they're coming out of the closet, saying that they're different genders, and then coming back and then they're not. They're true selves. They were born with XX or XY chromosome and that is it. There is no they, them. There is no zezer. There's no animal if I identify the
Starting point is 01:02:57 dragonfly or something like that. You are a girl or you're a boy. That is it. And it's all because of my parents and my parents pushing me to go to church and pushing me to go to different church camps. They are the reason why I am the way I am. Amen. Amen. One more question, Hazel. So, Hazel, there are moms across America, dads, that are being told by their pediatricians, you must affirm your kids gender dysphoria. They are being told by their pediatricians you must affirm your kids gender dysphoria they are being told by their pediatricians that your kid will commit suicide if they don't what is your blunt and direct message to parents that are being told this message from their pediatricians right now parents all I
Starting point is 01:03:39 have to say is pray pray and make sure that your children do go to church. take them to church because they will they their lives will get changed by Jesus Christ. I know that for a fact because he has changed my life and he has changed so many people's lives that I know and the girls that I know that try to transition because because of Jesus Christ coming into their lives they were able to see a major transformation from being a left into a raging not raging but a right on the right side and so it's amazing just to see you can be raging on the right we're a bunch of raging right here everybody Hazel you have a great way about you God bless you and everybody
Starting point is 01:04:19 we will not rest until every single gender-affirming care clinic in America shut down and those doctors are imprisoned for what they have done to our children. We will end the medical mutilation of our kids in our country. Hazel, God bless you. Thank the Lord you're not one of those people that went under the breast reduction surgery or a hysterectomy at 14. Can you believe what they do to these kids? Evil. Ben, who they do to these kids? Evil. Evil, Ben, who else do we have here? By the way, I just want to, this is, I just feel God's presence.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Holy Spirit, we just pray for the armor of God over all of these young people in America. Jesus, we invite your revolution in this nation to come back in, revival across this country, and I pray you just lift them up, give them supernatural power to stand, even when no one else is standing in Jesus name young lady tell me where you're from and what got you into this so my name is Arianna man Diego and I'm the
Starting point is 01:05:14 chapter president of turning point USA at North Carolina State University my most important issue is getting more black voices in the conservative movement because I feel like many black people have just been led. They've never really thought for themselves. They just follow their ancestors and we're not thinking like everyone just everyone wants to be Democrat but they're not actually thinking why are you Democrat? And what is that such a great point? What issue for you? What are the issues in the black community that you think are holding them, and what that's such a great point. What issue for you? What are
Starting point is 01:05:45 the issues in the black community that you think are holding them back? And what are the issues that the reality that woke you up? I would say for one, I really like listening to Charlie's like about how black families are no longer together anymore. Like in the sixties, they were way more together than they are now. Like black on black crime, gang violence, drugs, all of those things. Yeah. Amen, amen. Ben, let me interject.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Let me ask, would you agree that the black community is actually not on board for the transgender stuff? They're not on board for all this social liberal stuff. I think the black community is actually more socially conservative than some white communities are. Would you agree with that? I would definitely agree.
Starting point is 01:06:24 I have people in my family that have conservative views, conservative than some white communities are. Would you agree with that? I would definitely agree. I have people in my family that have conservative views, but still call themselves Democrats because they think being a Republican means I'm racist. I don't care about my race. I'm whitewashed when actually those values are what the conservative movement is about. It's not about being racist.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Conservatives are not racist. I feel very comfortable around conservatives. You know, like it's not about race. It's about character. It's about what's in your soul. God does not care about the color of your skin and I hate this race obsession. Arianna, so let me ask you, on campus, how are you treated as a black conservative? As a black conservative, many black people on my campus look at me as whitewashed or like I hate my race, I don't care about black people, stuff like that. They don't really, they don't like me.
Starting point is 01:07:12 But it matters enough for you to stand up and even say that, even in the face of that. I have been a hardcore Republican forever. My parents are Republicans, so I've never cared about what people have thought about me. Charlie, what a great, I mean all of this is parents are such a key good parents teaching values and community. That's why Turning Point USA matters so much everybody you just heard from four students right there and by the way if anybody watching online if you want to start a high school chapter or a college chapter go to tpusa.com or if you're in the audience right now and you came to this event and you're not involved with your Turning Point chapter, go to tpusa.com. Or if you're in the audience right now, and you came to this event,
Starting point is 01:07:45 and you're not involved with your Turning Point chapter, literally go up the steps and start a Turning Point chapter. It's not enough just to come to an event like this, and give a bunch of applause and have fun. It is about action to retake the country. Ben, who else do you have around us? All right, we got the hat and the mustache. Let's get over here.
Starting point is 01:08:02 What's your name, where are you from? Hi, my name is Duke Denman. I'm the president of the Founders Classical. I'm the president of the founders classical or I'm a president. The president of my turning point chapter at Founders Classical Academy in Leander, Texas, so just north of Austin at Austin, the California of Texas. So this is Democratic Socialist Republic of Austin. Are you seeing that shift? The big concern is if we lose Texas, we lose our country. How concerned are you about that?
Starting point is 01:08:25 I think it's important that people really understand that conservatives in Texas really understand who they're voting for and what they actually stand for. We see this in Texas state politics a lot where the people we elect into the Texas State House of Representatives or senators do not actually vote the way they tell their constituents they are going to vote. So it is very important that we look at the voting records of people that we elect and we compare that to their campaign promises and we primary the people who don't keep their campaign promises.
Starting point is 01:08:49 100%, all right, Mustapha, come up here brother. I'm Levi Hubs, I'm the Turning Point chapter president of Oklahoma State University and we actually hosted Charlie. We had like 4,000 people show up and it was awesome. I think one of the biggest things challenging our youth is the like hookup culture that we have and oh you get on Snapchat, you get on Quick Add and you add 25 people and you go that whole week of just going through those people and then you do it the next week and that's terrible for our culture.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And talk more about that. So let's just say some of the adults in the audience what is hookup culture? Explain it to our audience. Hookup culture is literally like you literally don't know the person you're getting in bed with. You don't know who they are. You're not going to church with this person. You're not going on a first date with this person. You're not. It's just a chivalry that it is dying. It's sad that we're losing these things. And Charlie made a good point about it earlier of what couples need to be doing to make strong relationships and build a better foundation in our country.
Starting point is 01:09:42 And how common is that in Stillwater? Hookup culture. It's really sad. It's just that it's almost popularized and it's cool and it's not cool. It's a sad thing and it's sad to watch our country have this toxin. Is it making young people happier? No, definitely not. And I think they realize that way too late. They go through two or three of these relationships and then they realize, now we have a problem.
Starting point is 01:10:02 I shouldn't have done that. And then that's where they have their other issues. That's why we got to bring. I shouldn't have done that. And then that's where they have their other issues. That's why we gotta bring God back into our country. Go to church. Follow what God wants for your life. 100%. Save yourself for marriage. Thank you my friend. Thank you. Ben, who do we have? All right, right here. Hi, my name is Elise Lockwood. I'm from Tustin in Orange County, California. Shout out St. Cecilia's mom, dad, Nicky and Adam. And I go to school at California State University, Northridge. I'm a deaf studies major there.
Starting point is 01:10:25 What I'm most passionate about regarding the conservative movement, I mean, I'm Catholic, that's my biggest identity point, I'm completely against abortion. When it comes to those who are disabled, approximately 26% are aborted due to hearing impairment or deafness. 70% of deaf, 70% of deaf, deaf-blind, deaf-disabled,
Starting point is 01:10:43 and hearing, hard of hearing people, um, don't have complete access to language. This is an entire group of population, uh, this is an entire group of people that have, um, so much dignity. Uh, the Lord, he's created, he, he creates us, um, with our own dignity, our own, um, in his image. And the fact that these people are being aborted or, um, don't have access to language is completely, it's terrible, it's terrible. It's terrible and I believe that, sorry, there's nothing wrong with being deaf. There's nothing wrong with being deaf as someone who is a hearing person.
Starting point is 01:11:15 You shouldn't be murdered for it. You should not be murdered. Nobody should be murdered for a disability or anything they can't control. We as Americans need to protect our most vulnerable, our women. All made in the image of God. God bless you. You're totally right. Hey, my name is Matthew Sosa. I go to Baker Show College in California.
Starting point is 01:11:28 And I'm su- Shout out to the conservative part of California. Yeah, yeah, no. Go Kern County. Something I'm super passionate about is the spiritual warfare that's going on in America. It's like it's something we don't see, but it just interacts with everyone.
Starting point is 01:11:40 It's something we see every day through either the leftists, especially, is like through the trans community the hookup culture everything is it like Satan's lies are just seeping into our children seeping into our schools and to church some even some churches It's just it's super sad to see that happening But I also do believe that our generation is very Starting to learn learn who God is love God and just seeing what his love can do for us So I'm super excited to see what in next next decade, what God can do through our generation. So Ben, can we ask amongst the group here, how many in the group would they say amongst
Starting point is 01:12:13 their friends online that are Trump voters care about the Epstein thing? Can you ask? Yeah, well you heard it there. How many of you guys care? Is that an issue for you? Amongst their friends as well. Lower propensity Trump voters. We all care. We want accountability. We want to know the facts. We don't want any of the files hidden. We don't want any redactions. How important is that? Authenticity and just transparency? For your generation.
Starting point is 01:12:38 It's very important. I think the DOJ should be upfront and honest. There shouldn't be any redactions, like I said. And I hope we can find out the facts in the near future. And your name and what chapter? My name is Chase Mnugian. I volunteered with the Sac State chapter. I originally graduated from UC Irvine. Anyone else want to jump in on that? We got two. My name is Julian Cohen. I am born and raised in California. I did go to college last year in Minnesota right across the river from the University of Minnesota at Augsburg.
Starting point is 01:13:03 I found my own chapter there. My biggest issue is DEI and the transgenderism. If you want to, you know, when you're out and you're an adult you want to do what you want to do that's totally fine, but you shouldn't we shouldn't have these things being forced into our, you know, systems especially the military. I just enlisted back in February and I go to training in September. I'm in the back of duty after that. I want to know that the military I'm going to serve in and the country I'm gonna serve for respects all other people respects all Other citizens and doesn't discriminate for any any reason whatsoever. No race. No, whatever
Starting point is 01:13:33 I want to know that I'm gonna serve a good country and serve my people well. Amen. I love that Ben next question Next thought. Hey everyone. My name is Derek Smith. I'm from Jacksonville, Alabama I'm the secretary of the Jacksonville State University chapter. My biggest issue is immigration, and I think we're lucky enough to have President Trump and him be so on top of it. But the issue with the left that really makes me mad is the fact that they say we should be so humane to these people who are bringing in fentanyl and tons of drugs to kill children and adults across the United States, and it just can't be put up with anymore and we have to really crack down on these drug dealers and the cartel that are making their way into our country. So top issues guys,
Starting point is 01:14:14 top three just go around you know we've got we were talking about the Epstein files we got immigration we got the wars we got Israel we got all this stuff going on rapid-fire we're going around top three. The CCP in China is the biggest threat to our country. And it can be top one, top two, top three, okay. Yes, I think we need to really bring the Make America Healthy Again movement up front. Over half of Americans are overweight, a third are obese. We have kids scrolling their phone all day, they're eating processed food, they're eating junk food, they're not exercising. We need to bring physical fitness back to America.
Starting point is 01:14:46 So no commies, get people healthy. I think my top three issues are protecting kids, protecting kids, and protecting kids. Protecting kids from abortion, protecting kids from transgender religion, and protecting kids from woke ideology. We got Berkeley is on fire over here. All right come on. My top issues are definitely detrans not making sure that making sure the kids are not transitioning, making sure that people are not having abortions, and then of course I obviously have to talk about Maha and making sure that America is
Starting point is 01:15:17 healthy. We're not just eating junk food and scrolling on our phones. My top three is making sure the world and the children know who Jesus is. Stopping abortions because it's just wrong in all the ways. And just like, maha, obviously, we need to get America back into healthy. It's just, it'll help everything. My top issues are all with the black community. Getting more black fathers in the home. Stopping so many abortions in the black community.
Starting point is 01:15:44 Our black people have the most abortions and getting more black people in Catholicism as well, I would say, yeah. We're sensing a trend here, Charlie. God is back in this generation. If you talk to the Republican consulting class like Karl Rove, they say, don't talk about abortion anymore. All of these issues, they would say don't talk about.
Starting point is 01:16:02 That is a non-negotiable. We are a pro-life party, period. Am I right? We are a pro-life party period. Am I right? We are a pro-life party. We will not waiver on that. If you can't fight for the unborn, then so be it. All right we're going around. So my top three issues, like I said, has to be immigration, number two, abortion, and number three, we have to keep the United States of America the best country in the world like it is. Amen.
