Turning Point Action Responds00:01:55
Hey everybody, today at the Charlie Kirk show, Austin Smith and Tyler Boyer from tpaction.com joins us, Turning Point Action to respond to some of the latest stories that have been published about us.
Such silly stuff.
And then also to dive into great detail about the races happening across America.
We are doing everything we can at Turning Point Action.
We are doing the work.
We're in the trenches, grassroots.

Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
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.
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.
Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
Here with Tyler Boyer from Turning Point Action, tpaction.com.
That is tpaction.com.
Get involved this weekend, knocking on doors, getting your friends out to the polls.
If you have any questions about any of the races that are happening in America, email is freedom at charliekirk.com.
We're going to get into some of these.
Jill just asks about Michigan.
We have someone asked about Joe Kent.
We're going to go through as many races as we can this hour, and then we're going to talk about what you can do about it.
Grassroots Efforts Across America00:09:03
But Tyler, we're looking at early voting returns.
We're looking at some of the polling.
We have to keep our head down and not talk about this too much.
But is it fair to say a red wave is doable if we show up?
A red wave is completely doable, but all that matters now is turnout on Tuesday.
That's it.
Turnout for Tuesday.
And everybody within the sound of our voices here has to understand that probably the biggest story from 2020 that nobody talked about was complacency of people thinking former red states that were going red and places that Donald Trump had won.
Like Georgia.
Like Georgia and Arizona.
And, you know, even if you, if you remember, North Carolina, it was surprisingly.
It was surprisingly tight.
Like a bunch of places were surprisingly tight.
And that was because Democrats were focused on doing, sending in mercenaries, as you put it, sending in people to get final votes because they can tally votes because of the early voting process now.
They know that it's true.
Hey, right now, if we're only 0.5% up and our target is X, that's how many votes we have to get.
In Arizona, it's going to be a little tricky because there's such a held back vote.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
And that's why they're upset.
The reason why Democrats are so mad at Arizona right now, they're so mad at Carrie Lake.
They don't know the points they need to kick.
Basically, we've cloaked their ability to model and to try to cheat and bend rules and show up and ballot harvest and do all those things.
And by the way, many of these things are illegal now.
And so they're risking everything.
But I think they're desperate enough where they will do anything to win.
And that's the key difference between Democrats and Republicans in most places, particularly red states, is they'll do anything to win while our people are like, oh, no, it's going to be fine.
We have the best elections that have ever been facilitated ever.
It's like, no, Governor DC, that's not true.
We have, there's no perfect election in America.
There just isn't.
Impossible.
And Arizona has a lot of problems.
And many of our states have a lot of problems because they've gone unfixed for years and years and years.
And so you said something really profound.
Let's just take Arizona.
We have people listening from Georgia.
We have someone listening right now from Michigan.
But let's just take Arizona.
If 5,000 people decided to be responsible for five people this Tuesday, that could make the difference.
Well, yeah.
And you just brought up Michigan.
That was the difference the last two elections.
That's right.
So like the last two presidentials.
So, I mean, look, the reality is this is that these are so tight.
And this is the reason why is the question.
A lot of people have asked me, why have we had so many close states in the last two presidential cycles?
How did this happen?
It's particularly 2020.
How are there like all these states that, by the way, Joe Biden just had to have won in order to win the presidency?
Why were they so close?
Well, guys, it's because the Democrats have been smarter about vote harvesting, about vote tabulation, about tabulating, figuring out exactly what they need in order to get themselves barely across the finish line.
And guess what, guys?
They did.
They did in certain ways.
And they bent the rules.
They found ways to cheat that were legal and boxes.
Or found ways.
I mean, Michigan is a disaster right now because the election law and codes, the law is going the wrong direction in Michigan.
And so it's not getting easier in a place like Michigan for us to stop and prevent people from cheating.
Well, and so this is important that, so just you guys all understand, this is why when you hold your vote back and wait for election day, you're throwing off their modeling.
So what there's been about 1.29 million votes cast so far in the state of Arizona.
Is that right?
Yeah.
So as of yesterday, it's about 1.3 million votes.
You know, we look like we're heading in a direction of landing at about 1.5 million before election day.
To give you an idea, there were about 2 million votes cast in 2018, right?
So I think we're going to land somewhere between 2018 and 2020, which is what is to be expected a little bit.
I think they were expecting to have a little bit more votes than what's been cast so far.
But I think that speaks to voter sentiment in their support of Republicans.
And this is my hope, right?
Is that fewer votes have been cast in places across Arizona because more Republicans and conservative independents are holding back their votes.
And therefore, we could conceivably see a 600,000, 700,000 person turnout, which would throw off all the models.
Look, Charlie, if we hit 600,000 right now on the direction we're going.
We can.
The people are there.
The human beings are in Arizona.
But it requires everybody that's listening to us to understand.
To multiply.
Don't listen to Fox News, MSNBC, to talk radio, even, to candidates, to the Republican Party, to the Democrat Party.
Do not let everybody's going to be throwing at you, we're winning, we're losing, we're winning, we're losing.
And look, that's me included, and you included, right?
Like, just put on your blinders, put in your ear, put on your AirPods, listen to the Charlie Kirk show and like get excited, right?
Because we love America and that's what we want to talk about.
That's what we want to get pumped for.
And go down there and vote like it's your last vote you'll ever cast in your life and bring three to five people.
Make sure three people in your immediate circle that have probably not a super, we all know these people, right?
They're like, I'm not super pumped to vote.
Like, you know, Katie Hobbs is a racist and, you know, Carrie Lake, I just don't know her that well, but she's cool and whatever.
Be like, no, listen, you don't understand.
We need your vote this time.
Knock it out.
Drag them down.
Let's get it done.
And this is the election to do that.
And I think it's going to reset the narrative around voting.
Yeah.
And so it's all about multiplication, all that.
So let's go to some races here.
Someone says, Charlie, I'm praying for Lee Zeldin.
What are your thoughts?
Would appreciate it.
I think it's possible not only that Lee Zeldin wins, but also that I think we could win all four congressional seats in Long Island.
I think Republicans can run the table in Long Island.
What do you think, Tyler?
I mean, look, Long Island and upstate New York are going to be almost bellwether races for the entire country.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, look, New York's an interesting place.
New York's actually a much more conservative place than people realize.
And it's only because of New York City, five boroughs, the five boroughs that we have such a bad composition.
Yeah.
I mean, my dad-in-law owned all the five guys up in upstate New York for years.
And like people have been horrified at the direction that that state's gone.
And they're mad and they're angry.
And so I wouldn't be surprised if Lee wins.
But here's the bigger part: those congressional districts, seeing how we come out on top there.
And look, I think New Yorkers are ready to literally throw out New York City from their state and have two different states.
Yep.
I would do it if I was a New Yorker, but that's going to set the tone for the entire night.
There are four congressional districts in Long Island, and it is possible that Republicans go four out of four.
And if there is a huge turnout in New York, and I think it's so interesting, a competitive governor's race in New York has misdirected resources.
It's also going to help the downballot Republicans, where if the, for example, if Cuomo was up 10 points or up 20 points, it wouldn't be as much.
We could, if the night goes well, if people are showing up in big numbers and coming out of the rivers and coming out of the valleys, as Donald Trump would say, it is possible that New York has more Republicans in the delegation than Democrats.
But the only way this happens, everybody, is an unprecedented election day turnout where you need to do this.
You need to show up at 6 a.m.
And then throughout the day, you need to find 10 other people that haven't yet voted that day and just nag them and say, you got to go vote.
You got to go vote.
You got to go vote.
And it's a really interesting thing where the Democrats have this incredibly sophisticated modeling and they have early voting and all this stuff where we as Republicans basically like get everyone excited and say, just go do the thing.
Well, it's like, it's, you have one that's like this incredible grassroots, like, we hope we're going to win.
Everyone's got to show up.
And the Democrats have this very specific, like, we're down three points here.
We got to send in mercenaries, Tyler.
Well, Suffolk County, they're voted for Trump in 2020.
And they are, Biden is so far underwater in New York right now.
And this is New York, people.
He's like a 54, 55% disapproval rating there right now.
It's unheard of, you know, for a Democrat state blue state to be that underwater.
And so that's a bad sign for congressional races.
And it's good for Lee Zeldin.
It's really good.
It's good all the way up and down the ballot.
Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.
Charlie Kirk here.
Too often, we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.
The reason for this is simple.
For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.

All right.
We are going to go around the horn.
We're here also with Austin Smith from Turning Point Action.
There have been two stories written about Turning Point Action.
These degenerates can't differentiate the two.
They conflate them intentionally.
There's Turning Point USA, which is all education, all college campuses, and then Turning Point Action in the Trenches.
And so there's this piece from the Arizona Republic, hostile takeover.
It's all about you two, actually.
I'm barely mentioned in this thing.
Trump Backers Turning Point Controls, Turning Point Control Arizona's GOP.
What have you guys been up to?
Man, it's been a while time.
The funny part is, is this the story that's in the Arizona Republic and then also that came out WAPO today is it's really a story about the grassroots.
It has nothing to do with us, right?
We're just that we're a facet of the grassroots and we happen to be one of the largest grassroots.
They're trying to villainize us.
Well, we're one of the largest grassroots organizations in the country through Turning Point Action.
And now we have our PAC.
I think we are the largest.
Yeah, we agree.
By a lot, by a lot.
I'm just trying to be humble here, Charlie.
But like we're doing, we're doing a lot of great groundwork.
We have incredible staff.
We've built an organism that is second to none.
We're doing it better than the Democrats are doing it.
And they are admitting that in the nicest way that they possibly can.
But here's the story.
The story is the grassroots.
Because at the end of the day, it's none of us control the grassroots.
Charlie Kirk doesn't control the grassroots.
Donald Trump doesn't control the grassroots.
Ronald Reagan didn't control the grassroots.
Austin Smith doesn't control the grassroots.
And the more that you revere and you humble yourself to accept the fact that the grassroots is usually right and that they're the heartbeat and the engine for the entire movement, and you respect that, then you have more success as a party.
And that's the story.
The party has been inverted for years, right?
Austin, it's been consultants at the top, and then they kind of ignore the voters.
We're trying to change that.
And now there's a Washington Post story out today, this Arizona Republic story, one after the other, obviously coordinated, all about Turning Point Action and how they claim we've taken over the Arizona Republican Party.
I mean, that's, they can say whatever they want.
Here's what is true, though.
We've helped shape the Arizona political ecosystem to actually listen to voters.
No, you're absolutely right.
And to Tyler's point is that when candidates and party leaders respect and revere the grassroots, that's a good thing.
All we're trying to do at Turning Point Action, what we've done over the last couple of years, is show the grassroots and show other leaders that this is how it's supposed to be.
We're supposed to take our cues from the people that are in the precincts every single weekend, knocking doors and registering voters who do the grunt work in the non-election years.
And that's not a hostile takeover of the party.
That's leading by an example that this is what the Republican Party should be doing.
And for the longest time, the Democrats were very grassroots organized and oriented, and they're not that way anymore.
And thankfully, for groups like Turning Point Action that actually go into the neighborhoods and go into the precincts and attend local meetings, this is a good thing.
The party is supposed to be grassroots driven.
And Charlie, this is the point, too.
It's actually the opposite of hostile because it's actually the most peaceful, and this is proven by history, right?
The Republican Party is actually run and operationally, and so is the Democrat Party, by the way, in our state, anyways, and in many places, is run like as a Republican form of government, right?
Which is representative.
So in the state of Arizona, you have a representative model through precinct committeemen who represent the party at all levels down to the precinct level.
And when you respect that and you actually engage in that, you have the most peace in your party.
You know why you have more peace?
You're always going to have conflict.
You're always going to have people that disagree.
I mean, I disagree with my wife.
I disagree with Charlie all the time.
Like literally, we fight every single day about like this and that and like little things, right?
Like we talk about things, we discuss and we have, we belabor these, these issues.
But the reality is this, is that when you have a well-represented party, meaning a person from every precinct, many people from every precinct representing what the Republican Party is, you have more peace because there's more understanding of what the party is.
And to one more thing, Charlie, is that earlier this year, the state legislature in Arizona tried to eliminate precinct committee men elections.
And it was stopped like that because the grassroots in Arizona understand how important this level and this form of government is in the party and in our state government.
Is that, I mean, we were part of it.
It was like, it blew up.
And we just wanted to make sure that the people that do the work that carries our party and our nation into a better place, you got to respect those people.
Well, Charlie, that's the important story, too, that we need to discuss.
And after this election, we are going to talk about it a lot.
Arizona is the front lines for the rest of the country.
And what Rusty Bowers tried to do, and this is why he's no longer in office, what he tried to do was eliminate precinct committeemen.
He tried to eliminate the precinct spot.
And there's a reason why they want it.
You want to talk about hostile takeovers?
They want a hostile takeover of our country by eliminating the grassroots and the representative voice in your neighborhood.
That's well said.
Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
The world is in chaos, and it's going to cause food shortages unlike anything we've ever seen.

Okay, we need to raise the energy level.
We need all of you guys to take out your phone right now and text five friends.
Are you voting?
Are you voting?
You need to be accountable for your circle.
I got my 30 people I'm accountable for.
I might even expand that to 50.
And by the way, these are people that they're like the barber, they're the delivery guy.
Everyone I'm going to, I say, are you voting?
Are you voting?
You got to just pepper people.
And by the way, people say, well, Charlie, you know, I got too much to do.
No, you don't.
You're not going to have a country if we don't win.
Okay.
And by the way, the day after the election, you could sleep in, you can drink beer, you can do whatever people do and watch sports or whatever, but you got a republic to save Tuesday.
North Carolina, what's going on, Tyler?
Oh my gosh.
Charlie, what's going on right now with Bo Hines?
So I'm sorry, not Florida.
North Carolina 13.
So Ted Budd, who's running right now, right?
That was his district.
It's a plus four Republican district.
Is this Bo Hines?
This is Bo Hines.
So he's endorsed by us at Turning Point Action.
Young kid.
Young guy.
He's incredible.
He's a great conservative, great America first guy.
He is running against the race.
It's the race of the lifetime right now, because if we lose this House seat, there's blood in the water for Democrats in North Carolina.
And they're hoping that they can do to North Carolina what they did to Georgia.
This is the, I mean, guys, I'm telling you right now.
Ted Budd is going to win.
I think that's fair.
Ted Bud's going to win.
But if they can do to North Carolina what they did to Georgia in 2024, it changes the entire map for Republicans.
And this is where they're fighting.
The same way that we're kind of fighting in Nevada, and we think that we're going to, like, Nevada is going to be like on our side.
Yes.
Look at North Carolina similarly to that.
It's just North Carolina has more electoral college votes.
Okay, so what are the races in North Carolina?
So that race plus it's, I think it's CD1 and CD6 are at play.
And this is going to be really the indicator to watch early on.
So we talked, just talked about New York.
But if I'm looking at the map, I'm looking at New York and I'm looking at North Carolina and I'm saying, what is happening in CD1, CD6, and what's happening with Bo Hines in 13?
Ohio.
Ohio.
J.R. Majuski.
Yeah, that's one of our guys there.
Turning point action of drugs, JR Majewski.
That's a new district, R plus six right now, but it's a dogfight.
They don't like JR because he's a conservative outsider.
The Democrats are pouring a lot of money tickets because I think they've abandoned JD Vance.
They pulled out all of their statewide funding for that race for the advertisements, but they're really just trying to go after some of the House seats they are.
JR is one of those guys.
It's a Democrat-held seat right now with an incumbent who is, you know, I can't think of her name, but she's obviously Nancy Pelosi, just from Ohio.
And they're really trying to help her save that seat right now.
We've had a team in Ohio since the summertime, knocking doors, getting out the vote, registering voters in the summertime.
So we're all in Ohio and JR.
But if you're in Ohio and you're listening to this program right now, you've got to go vote in person for JR right now.
If you already haven't made a plan to vote the time polls open until they close on Tuesday.
And show up to Toledo and help out JR.
If you have someone to give to in the Midwest, he's maybe one of the most important races outside of the establishment's abandoned him.
The establishment's abandoned him.
He is the most, it is, that's one of the hotly, most hotly contested races that we must win this cycle.
That would be a huge loss for us if we don't win it.
JR is campaigning very hard.
We backed him very early.
He is all over his district.
He goes all over the state.
He's not just, I mean, he's helping other conservatives in his district.
And Ron DeSantis, this is the guy you want in Washington, D.C.
So we've got to get him across.
And I want you to know this too.
Everybody hearing my voice, because I stood there and watched it.
Governor DeSantis is fully behind JR, shook his hand, gave him a big hug, said, We're fully behind you.
I love you.
I love what you're saying and what you're doing.
And this guy's a big Trump guy.
He's, I'm telling you right now, if there's a guy we've got to get across the finish line, it's J.R. Majuski.
Go help him.
Go show up in Toledo.
I don't care.
Bring clipboards or knocking, start talking to people.
I'm telling you right now, we have to win that on Tuesday.
Okay, so next one I want to get to here, which is really, really important and we're getting a lot of emails about, is the Florida races.
Yes.
Okay.
So Ana Paulina, we're going there this weekend.
Ana Paulina is a great candidate.
She's had so much money spent against her.
Yes.
What's going on with Ana Paulina, Clearwater St. Petersburg area?
She's a turning point graduate, you could say, of our system.
Yes.
What's going on with Ana Paulina?
Ana Paulina, just give you a quick history, ran our Hispanic outreach at Turning Point USD.
We traveled the campuses all across the country.
She went through the Charlie Kirk School of Public Engagement.
That's true.
She's a graduate of the making lives mad against her.
I have my own college.
And by the way, if you survive traveling with Charlie and speaking on campus, then you are an elite public speaker.
So Ana Paulina is unbelievable, a veteran.
Her husband's a veteran.
Really great, just patriots and American.
They have spent gubernatorial style money against her in Pinellas County.
And I'm telling you right now, that would be a massive loss for us if we lose.
She needs all the support she can get.
So God bless Governor DeSantis.
He's coming up.
He called up, said, Hey, where can I be most helpful?
And we said, Hey, this is one of the most hotly contested races.
Democrats have poured into Ana Paulina, trying to keep her out because they know she's going to be a powerhouse for a long time.
And we've been knocking doors for her all summer.
And then we're knocking doors.
We've been knocking doors for every single weekend or once or twice a week in her district.
Super Saturdays, right?
That's what your team's doing.
And Turning Point Patrick is coming in with some ads at the end.
We've been with her for a very long time.
Charlie, just on this on Ana Paulina, we're doing this event on Saturday.
Charlie's going to be speaking at it.
It's going to be incredible.
Governor DeSantis is going to be there.
Ana Paulina is going to be there.
We're going to have some special guests.
They're going to be there.
Benny Johnson is going to be warming up the crowd.
He's so excited.
We're going to have a good time.
Go to tpaction.com/slash DeSantis, tpaction.com/slash events.
Register now.
We want you there.
And we're going to be handing out hundreds and hundreds of clipboards to go do knock door knocking events after this event.
I want to play a piece of tape here.
If anyone out there is a Trump voter, you now have an extra reason to vote on Tuesday and get every other Trump voter that might be a low-propensity Trump voter to show up because Donald Trump is going to run in 2024.
He is signaling that.
And this, by the way, I think he's playing his cards pretty smart here.
Trump is, where he's now going to really boost midterm election turnout.
In fact, we got to get this message out.
I think Donald Trump's super PAC.
If anyone from Donald Trump's world is listening, Donald Trump's super PAC needs to spend some money to try to get this message out, play cut 123.
And now, in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, I will very, very, very probably do it again.
Okay.
Very, very, very probably.
Get ready.
That's all I'm telling you.
Very soon.
That's going to help in a lot of these states, isn't it?
Ohio, Arizona.
If Trump voters feel as if there's a future for the MAGA movement in this Congress is a step.
Go ahead.
Let me lay this out for you here.
And this is why this election matters so much, guys.
Think about this.
Donald Trump, Michaels in Wisconsin, right?
Mastriano in Pennsylvania.
Kerry Lake in Arizona.
Ron DeSantis in Florida.
Guys, we have the greatest fighting team that has ever been assembled at the state level.
Jamie Vance in Ohio.
And then we'll have JD.
This is why this election matters so much.
Black salt in Nevada.
I mean, I'm telling you guys, we have the coolest, youngest, most vibrant, exciting crowd of candidates.
And these people will be in public office.
They are so scared of this in 2024.
This should motivate you now more than ever to show up, show up big on Tuesday because if we get this across the finish line, America's in, I'm telling you, America's in a more exciting, better place than it's been in 20 years.
We have the Democrats on the ropes in a very profound way.
Alaska, what's going on?
We have a very loyal Alaska audience on Real America's Voice.
I get emails from Alaska, hundreds of emails a week.
I love Alaska.
Kelly Shabaka against the snake because the turtle is supporting the snake.
What is going on with the Alaska Senate primary?
I'm going to tell you right now, Charlie, and everybody in Alaska, hear my voice.
I want you to get involved voting.
I want you to get involved with the Republican Party.
I want you to demand great party leadership at the local level.
And you need to push back against ranked choice voting after this election.
It's too late now, though.
It's too late now, but we got to turn this ship around and then be a spokesperson for the rest of the country to say, don't let this happen to your state.
Because unfortunately, we had some Republicans asleep at the wheel not understanding the context of this.
And Shabaka should be your senator.
And I want you to know this right now.
We are in, if you can pull this out and knock out Murkowski, it's going to signal something special for the rest of the country.
And so we're counting on you because it's going to be the last votes to come in.
That's the last race to come in.
Just so everyone knows, you have incumbent, moderate, very, very moderate Senator Lisa Murkowski.
She's a Democrat.
Let's just call it a call.
Call her what she is.
She is a Democrat.
She voted to indict Donald Trump with impeachment.
Mitch McConnell, who we call the turtle, just so everyone knows our little animal references here, but I call Murkowski the snake.
So he pumped in $9 million.
How much he spent here in Arizona?
Almost nothing.
Goosey's never been here.
For Blake Masters.
Mitch McConnell does not care about Arizona.
He doesn't care about getting this over with.
Instead, he's more concerned, not with Don Boldick, not with all of that.
No, but he spent $9 million propping up Murkowski against an amazing candidate, Kelly Shabaka.
And Charlie, I want your audience to understand this.
And this is the politics of things that most people don't see or understand.
The amount of money that McConnell raised for a Republican state to take out another Republican is not only dastardly because of the money that he spent on that, but you understand that by him doing that, it signaled millions of other dollars to go to that state to help Murkowski that could have gone places that we needed to win.
So we're talking about an impact that had rings of probably $20, $30 million plus.
And this is part of the reason why everyone's so angry at Mitch McConnell, and they should be.
They rightfully should be.
Mitt Romney came out defending Mitch McConnell yesterday.
This is how you know how bad things are for Mitch McConnell, that he has to have Mitt Romney come out and say something nice about him.
I'm telling you right now, it's not looking good for Mitch.
And the biggest slap in the face to get the Republican Party and the establishment correct here would be to win big with the right person in life.
Rick Scott for leader, no doubt.
Okay, so let's go to another race here where people are very, very interested.
And we're getting a ton of emails about this, the New Mexico governor's race.
That's a sleeper, Tyler.
Ron Shetty versus the woman.
Yes.
That is the worst.
I can't remember her name.
I never remember her name, Lujan Grisham or whatever.
Yeah.
So in New Mexico, New Mexico is kind of similar.
So there's three states that obviously everybody, I think, is really watching now on the gubernatorial side.
You got New Mexico, you've got Oregon, and you've got Minnesota.
And obviously, New York is now thrown in that category too.
If Republicans have the kind of day that we need to have, you know, for some of these Senate races and some of these congressional races, you're going to see some of these governors get over the top.
And this is the thing to talk about.
We always talk about top down, da, da, da, da.
We hear RGA talking, RNC, RNCC, NRSC talking.
The grassroots, I'm telling you, the school boards, school board races and things like that, that's what flipped Virginia.
That's what's going to flip a New Mexico.
That's what's going to flip Oregon.
That's what's going to flip Minnesota.
That's where the Republican Party has to invest its time and effort moving forward is win and flip these school board races because you win all the way up ticket when you do that.
Yep.
That's right.
It can happen.
Ron Shetty can become the next governor of New Mexico.
And by the way, in New Mexico, that's why it's happening because parents are so ticked off because schools are so poorly run in New Mexico.
That's right.
And they're not a school choice state like Arizona where we've fixed that.
That's right.
If you saw the news, Donald Trump plans to run for president and announce in a couple of weeks.
That should be a shot in the arm, a stimulus for every single MAGA voter.
He might be on the edge.
Let me tell you why.
If you're a Trump supporter, you want a Congress he can work with.
You want a House he can work with.
You want governors and secretary of states that he can work with.
And so get the word out.
We need the base to show up in major numbers, everybody.
Donald Trump is signaling he's running.
We need every single Trump voter on Tuesday to vote.
Okay, we got a ton of questions here.
So this is one that I'm getting repeatedly, which is the Illinois governor's race.
Darren Bailey, I'm telling you, Darren Bailey could shock the world and defeat J.B. Pritzker, born on third, thought he hit a triple.
He's a very, he embodies, I'm going to stop.
He's a bad guy.
Okay.
I'm going to be nice today.
He's got to be defeated.
He's a very bad person.
And he is someone who has done so much damage to my beloved home state of Illinois.
I love Illinois.
I care for Illinois.
There's some congressional seats, though, in Illinois that we got our eyes on, right?
If I'm not mistaken, in the suburbs, collar counties, they've redrawn the maps.
So I'm not totally sure about all of them.
Yeah, Mayor Picow that's there.
That's a good dude.
Actually, that's an interesting race to watch.
I don't have the number that's right in front of me right now, but I think it's like Illinois 10 or something.
Yeah, he was the mayor of, and I'm spacing right now because you just caught me off guard with Illinois because it's not on our map.
No, no, no.
He's male of like LaGrange or something, something like that.
No, it's Keith P. Cow or Orland Park.
Orland Park.
Yeah, that's Orland Park.
Good folks down there.
Yeah, Orland Park.
And that's not far from a facility that we have because we have a distribution facility that's not far from outside there.
But if he pulls out that race, which he could, because it's within a couple of points, that's going to say a lot, I think, in not just Illinois, but the rest of the Midwest.
And again, we were just talking about Minnesota.
So I'm like super bullish.
And this is where we were just talking about how Democrats want to redraw the map of North Carolina.
Voters Recognize Truth00:02:41
Republicans have to get extraordinarily serious about prioritizing these states.
And so what I'm most angry about coming out of this election, and I'm going to go into the RNC in January, and I'm going to probably rain hellfire upon the rest of the RNC.
And here's the reason why.
And I don't care if they hear this.
And other RNC members, my colleagues, need to hear this as well.
You cannot say that Arizona or Georgia or Wisconsin are the most important states and then not help make sure that national resources are directed.
We got to move fast.
Has the Republican establishment poured resources into Arizona necessary for us to win?
No, the answers.
Not at all.
Austin, and yet Turning Point Action, Turning Point Pact has stepped up and filled in the void.
And not just us, the grassroots, the people.
It's the grassroots.
It's the grassroots.
Yeah, we're nothing more than an organization that tries to be a vehicle, a vessel for normal, everyday people to get involved, to take their country back.
Is that fair to say?
And I want to give voters a lot of credit because they're recognizing this, right?
The reason why Carrie Lake got elected is they said, you know what, I'm not going to be impacted by $20 million.
I'm going to be impacted by what I know works.
And what we know works are people who are honest.
They call out the media.
They call out the political parties.
And, you know, I love the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is the way to save the country.
But it's the only vehicle.
Tucker says that all the time.
We have no other vehicle.
And so does Tyler.
And we have to save the Republican Party first in order to save America.
This third party thing is a complete and total waste of time.
It's not going to happen.
Okay.
Other races we're looking at.
Caroline Levitt, looking good?
Caroline's doing good.
You know, Caroline actually just took the lead in the recent poll that they had up in New Hampshire.
She worked very hard.
If you guys don't know the history of Caroline Levitt, New Hampshire girl, born and raised, went and worked in the Trump White House.
After Trump left in 2020, she got involved in New Hampshire politics even more, ran a phenomenal primary campaign, was the underdog, was outspent almost like five to one.
We backed her very early on.
We love Caroline.
She's going to be a great congresswoman.
If you live in New Hampshire and you haven't voted yet, you've got to make a plan and get her across the finish line because if she wins, this is going to be a shock across the world.
And she's going to slap around the establishment.
Okay, check out Turning Point Action.
We have get up the vote efforts in Georgia, Arizona, in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and Ohio.
I think I hit them all this weekend.
