[00:00:13]  Here we go.
[00:00:14]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:15]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:17]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:21]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:24]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:25]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:26]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:00:28]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:00:35]  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.
[00:00:43]  That's why we are here.

[00:01:13]  Thank you.
[00:01:14]  Please take a seat.
[00:01:15]  Thank you.
[00:01:29]  I love it.
[00:01:30]  Welcome, everybody, to the People's Convention 2024.
[00:01:39]  It is an amazing story and journey how we ended up in Detroit, Michigan, of all places.
[00:01:48]  They told us, don't do an event in Detroit, don't do an event in Michigan.
[00:01:53]  But at turning point, we do the tough battles to save America.
[00:01:58]  And what you are going to see in the next couple of days will make international news.
[00:02:07]  You are going to hear from the biggest speakers in the movement, from Candace Owens, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump.
[00:02:24]  This convention is for you.
[00:02:28]  I was concerned that the everyday American does not have a convention.
[00:02:33]  We love the RNC convention happening in Milwaukee.
[00:02:36]  In fact, we're going to be on stage with Laura Trump soon talking about that, and they should be in Milwaukee.
[00:02:41]  But at Turning Point Action, we wanted to put on an event, a training that is for you, the citizen, that is for we, the people, that is for a restoration of this republic.
[00:02:54]  In the next couple of days, you will be challenged.
[00:02:58]  You will be encouraged.
[00:02:59]  We have over a hundred trainings happening in the next couple of days of how you secure your local elections, how you can chase ballots, how you can register voters, how you could start a turning point USA chapter, how you could start a turning point academy homeschool organization, how you can become a force multiplier.
[00:03:20]  At the People's Convention, this is going to be the end of spectator politics.
[00:03:27]  No longer will we have the attitude where we just watch politics on a screen.
[00:03:35]  Instead, we are going to make a commitment that this year, this calendar year, will be the hardest year we have ever worked.
[00:03:45]  That we will not forget the injustice of 2020, and we will avenge that this November in the state of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Florida.
[00:04:04]  Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
[00:04:05]  Debt.
[00:04:05]  It keeps you tossing and turning at night.
[00:04:07]  You can't get away from it.
[00:04:08]  But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.
[00:04:11]  Insanely high-interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
[00:04:16]  There's a way out of the debt trap at Zero Debt USA.
[00:04:19]  You've heard me talk about pivotal debt solutions.
[00:04:21]  Well, now they're Zero Debt USA.
[00:04:24]  And they have new aggressive strategies that can end your debt faster and easier than you thought possible.
[00:04:29]  Zero Debt USA can cut or even eliminate interest, find programs to write off balances so you owe less, stop those threatening phone calls, and without bankruptcy and without a loan.
[00:04:39]  They find every solution possible to end your debt permanently.
[00:04:42]  Before you do anything, contact Zero Debt USA first, talk to them for free, and find out how fast they can help you get out of debt.

[00:05:07]  You see, the struggle in front of us is a question bigger than Trump versus Biden.
[00:05:14]  And trust me, I love Donald Trump and I love what he's fighting for.
[00:05:17]  But it is bigger than Donald Trump.
[00:05:20]  This is a question of the structure of government that we are going to have.
[00:05:27]  We are told that we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy, by the way, a constitutional republic.
[00:05:34]  A very important distinction.
[00:05:37]  However, our country looks more and more like an oligarchy and not a constitutional republic.
[00:05:46]  There is a small group of people, sometimes in both political parties, that continue to do things that are unpopular with the American people, that are bad for our everyday livelihoods, and they want to tell you who can become president.
[00:06:04]  The reason why Donald Trump is facing 700 years in federal prison is because he has given you a voice in this equation, that he has brought you into the room.
[00:06:17]  The reason why they have thrown everything they can at this man and will continue to do that is that you are not supposed to care as much as you do.
[00:06:30]  They want to go back to the failed politics of 2004 and 2008, where a small group of bipartisan politicians keep on doing the same thing over and over again.
[00:06:42]  This event is a statement to the leaders of both political parties that we, the people, are back in charge and we are going to send a triumphant message.
[00:06:58]  But it's going to require you.
[00:07:01]  And here is the message you're going to hear over and over again: Donald Trump is not here to save you.
[00:07:08]  You have to save Donald Trump to save the country.
[00:07:11]  It's a big difference.
[00:07:15]  What does that mean?
[00:07:18]  It is tempting and easy to say he's going to fight for me.
[00:07:21]  He will.
[00:07:22]  But first, you must fight for him.
[00:07:24]  You must go register new voters.
[00:07:26]  You must find low-propensity voters in your life and get them registered to vote.
[00:07:32]  According to new polling, the people least likely to vote are the most pro-Trump in this election.
[00:07:41]  That means if we don't do a good job of driving turnout, if we don't do a good job of owning our neighborhoods, if we don't do a good job of registering new voters, dare I say in November, we might hear those bitter words, and you need to tattoo this in your memory.
[00:08:01]  They might say that Joe Biden is re-elected as another term as president of the United States.
[00:08:09]  I agree with you.
[00:08:11]  That reaction should drive you to action.
[00:08:15]  I will not be able to live with myself and look at my now two kids, by the way.
[00:08:21]  We just welcome baby boy, two kids.
[00:08:25]  I will not be able to look at them five years, ten years, 15 years from now, and tell them that I took it easy in the year of 2024.
[00:08:36]  It is the hardest year I have personally ever worked.
[00:08:40]  It is the hardest we at Turning Point have ever worked.
[00:08:43]  We are doing ballot chasing trainings all across the country.
[00:08:47]  We are hiring the largest ever ballot chasing class in Arizona, Wisconsin, and here in Michigan.
[00:08:54]  We are registering tens of thousands of new, low-propensity voters and bringing them out.
[00:09:02]  We are engaging the grassroots in coalitions, faith coalition, moms coalition, health workers coalition.
[00:09:10]  We are building communities of trust so that we are able to deploy effectively in November.
[00:09:17]  But if you leave this event with just a bunch of cool merch and a couple friends and a commitment to vote, you're doing it wrong.
[00:09:26]  Instead, you need to leave this event with a battle plan.
[00:09:33]  Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
[00:09:35]  Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right?
[00:09:40]  Well, one thing your dog can't do without you is improve their diet or health to feel their best.
[00:09:46]  That is why I believe Rough Greens could dramatically help your best friend by adding what is missing to their diet like you do.
[00:09:53]  Rough Greens is helping thousands and thousands of dogs feel better and live longer, including my dog, Mr. Briggs, who loves it.
[00:10:02]  Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, who created Rough Greens, is also an airborne ranger and green beret, an amazing background.
[00:10:08]  He loves dogs and is on a mission to help as many as he can.
[00:10:12]  Dog food is dead, and Rough Greens supplements your dog's food with existing vitamins and minerals, omega oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and antioxidants.
[00:10:23]  Dr. Black is offering you a free Jumpstart trial bag to fetch your free Jumpstart trial bag.
[00:10:28]  Just cover shipping.
[00:10:29]  Don't change your dog's food.
[00:10:31]  Just go to roughgreens.com/slash Kirk, R-U-F-Greens.com/slash Kirk.
[00:10:37]  You need to leave this event saying, Charlie, I'm going to give everything I can because here is my belief.

=== Trusting God With The Debt (03:05) ===

[00:10:44]  Duty is ours, and the result is the Lord's.
[00:10:48]  We do our part, and we trust in God for the rest.
[00:10:53]  And that is a very important thing because God will not honor our laziness if we think being apathetic going into November is going to save the country.
[00:11:08]  It's about using your agency, using your ability to act.
[00:11:14]  And we're going to show you exactly how to do that.
[00:11:18]  I'm going to close with this because we got to get right into our speakers.
[00:11:20]  We got to move our program up.
[00:11:22]  And you're going to hear more and more from us throughout the evening.
[00:11:25]  What a time to be alive.
[00:11:28]  There are two ways to look at this.
[00:11:33]  The first way is, boy, the country's falling apart.
[00:11:37]  We got 3.5 million illegals coming across the southern border.
[00:11:40]  We've got 36 trillion dollars in debt.
[00:11:43]  We're sending all this money overseas to Ukraine that we should not be sending.
[00:11:48]  They're indicting Donald Trump for 700 years in federal prison.
[00:11:51]  Our fertility rate is collapsing.
[00:11:53]  What's the point?
[00:11:55]  That's the first way to look at it.
[00:11:57]  That's how losers look at things.
[00:12:00]  Oh, by the way, can I add to the list?
[00:12:01]  The election is rigged.
[00:12:03]  What does it matter?
[00:12:05]  The second way is: wow, look at all these problems.
[00:12:09]  All of them are fixable because we're doing it to ourselves.
[00:12:15]  And thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving us the ability to live in such a time as this.
[00:12:22]  Oh, 3.5 million illegals at the southern border.
[00:12:25]  We can fix that and do the largest deportation effort in the history of the country.
[00:12:30]  Oh, we're borrowing 36 trillion.
[00:12:36]  We borrowed $36 trillion.
[00:12:37]  We're going to cut spending and balance the budget because debt is a choice.
[00:12:41]  Sending money to Ukraine, we don't have to do that anymore.
[00:12:45]  Fertility crisis, we can reverse that and create a culture where young people get married and have children again and reverse the fertility collapse.
[00:12:56]  We have a choice.
[00:12:58]  Choice A is a defeatist, negative attitude that the bad guys want you to embrace.
[00:13:05]  Choice B is to thank God that you get to be alive and have breath, where the future of the greatest nation ever to exist hangs in the balance.
[00:13:17]  Every conversation, every new voter you register, every time you get to work and you do the clipboard and tennis shoes type of effort, you get to smile at your heavenly father and say thank you for using me to try to save this country.
[00:13:33]  God bless you guys and enjoy the People's Convention.
[00:13:37]  Thank you so much.
[00:13:38]  Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
