Okay, everybody, here's some conversations from my tour at Reno, Nevada.
I think you'll really enjoy it.
We talk about Trump's economics, abortion, xenophobic border policies, and more.
These events are going viral, seen by tens of millions of people, and make a huge impact.

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.

Hi. How are you?
So, earlier, I heard you call Washington a den of thieves, which I fully agree with.
Keep in mind, I'm going to preface that immediately.
Don't agree with Democrats. However, I want to know from you, and I want to get your opinion on why is Donald Trump any different from all the other thieves that are in Washington right now, looting and pillaging the earnings of the working class?
It's a good question. First of all, he cut your taxes.
Number two, he made it easier for you to own a home.
Number three, we had no new wars, which I'm sure you care about.
So this is important. He actually starved the beast of the military-industrial complex.
Starved it? Really? Yeah.
Did Russia invade Ukraine?
Yeah, they did. Under Trump?
Well, no. But they were probably going to do it anyway.
Yeah, exactly. They've had a very big blood and soil thing going on in Russian politics for a while now.
Hold on. No, no, no. This is important. Let's talk about this logically.
It was kind of coming. So under Bush...
Russia takes Georgia.
Under Obama, Russia takes Crimea.
Under Biden, Russia takes the Donbass.
Why is it that they didn't do anything for four years under Trump?
I thought he was a Russian agent.
Well, I don't agree that he's a Russian agent.
No, no, no, for sure. I'm just being sarcastic saying, why is it for four years Russia stopped all of their incursions when under Bush, Obama, and Biden, it was an all-you-can-eat buffet in the Russian hemisphere?
Probably something relating to Russian politics.
I'm not sure. Okay, no, but this is the point, is that the answer is that Trump was a peace president, unlike the den of thieves that are currently running this country.
I don't know if I would call a peace president someone who drops a Moab to kill terrorists in...
Where was it? It was ISIS, I believe, right?
He just dropped a Moab on that mother...
Which is pretty cool.
Which is pretty cool, keep in mind.
No, I mean, I do want to ask a question.
What is a terrorist? A terrorist is someone who, well, commits terrorist acts, bombings, shootings.
Let's see, what else?
So should those people be killed?
Well, if they're threatening the life of their fellow countrymen, then probably, yeah.
Okay, so we have no moral difference on that.
No, but I think it's interesting that you call him a peace president when he does that.
You excuse this military action and call him a peace president even though...
I mean, I'm not saying that the target was not justified, keep in mind.
Fair enough. No, but again, he did not start a new conventional ground war where every president lasts 40 years, including Reagan, has.
That's very noteworthy. And so you asked the question, what makes Trump different?
I'll tell you one thing, which I think is important.
If Trump was like all the rest of them, they would not have impeached him twice, indicted him four times, and he would not have to survive the assassination attempts that he has.
There's something different about Trump, because he threatens to expose and uproot the entire cabal and the cartel that has been making everybody in this audience poorer and them richer.
The same cabal that allowed him to become a billionaire?
Well, him becoming a billionaire was building great hotels and buildings.
Right, off of a loan from his father.
Right, yeah. Okay.
It's also, I mean, this is interesting.
People criticize the loan.
If I gave you a million dollars, could you turn it into five billion?
Probably not. So it's pretty talented for Trump to turn a million into five billion, yeah?
Well, when you come from a dynasty of business, man, it's kind of expected you pick it up.
Okay, I'm not going to get into that.
Easy to minimize the success of entrepreneurs when people have built nothing in their life.
So, what would convince you that he is...
If you say, I'm now convinced that he's for me, what would that be?
Well... Well, if I wanted him to be for me, I would probably want him to make college free.
I think it's ridiculous that we have to pay for a higher education in the first place.
Hold on a minute. You asked me.
You asked me. No, no, no. I'm not making fun.
I'm trying to calm down the crowd, actually.
I'm trying to... So, by free, you mean that somebody else pays for your college?
Pretty much, yes. Okay, got it.
So let's just play this out.
I didn't go to college.
Okay. You're in college.
Why should I have to pay more in taxes so you go to college?
Make the argument. Civic duty.
I would say that being able to...
Fund the education, the higher education, rather, of more people, especially in a modern economy, which is so digitized.
Things like computers are becoming incredibly important.
What are you studying? I'm currently studying psychology.
Got it. I'm going to be going into social work.
That's the field that I want to go into.
Just a very important moral argument.
For you to believe Trump is for you, he would want to increase taxes on people like me to give it to you so you could go study Freud and Jung.
Well, not just you.
I would think probably...
No, people like me. And what are you like?
Well, I happen to be in the top 1%.
I do very well, praise God.
Okay, yeah. Yeah, you should probably be taxed more.
Okay, so what do you... This is interesting.
What do you think I pay in taxes?
Guess. Guess. Probably about 20%.
Try 50%.
50%. Do you think that's fair?
Well, I think it's much easier when you're in the top 1% to tie up all your money in stock options rather than actually paying taxes.
You can also hire accountants.
Turning Point USA is not publicly traded.
If it was, that would be interesting.
But no, this is interesting, though.
I think that we're getting to something important.
The government owns more than half of all of my time in labor.
All of my speeches, all of my podcasts, all of my radio, all my time at Turning Point USA. I am literally half-owned by the federal government.
Is that fair? Yeah.
Why? Well, I mean, you're in the top 1% of earners.
You have more money than any of us will ever likely see in our entire lives.
So I would say that, yeah, because of the position that you are in, you probably deserve to pay more in taxes.
So whose money is it?
Well, it's yours, and then it's going to the government.
Got it. So, does it mean anything that in order to get to that level, most times you have to create a lot of jobs and create a lot of value in the marketplace, and that that income should be a reward for that kind of value you create?
Well, yes, your income already is a reward.
You're already in the top 1% of earners even before the government takes your taxes.
No, for sure, but then half of it goes away. Right, and how much do you make afterwards?
A fair amount, praise God.
A fair amount? Yeah. So, you live in a nice house, drive a nice car?
No, I mean, I'm not complaining. I'm saying, though, from a moral argument, we're getting to a place where it's always easy to tax more people like me.
The people that, you know, do three hours of radio a day, travel the country, give a thousand speeches a year.
It's easy to want to do that.
What's hard is this.
It's hard to actually say, you know what?
No, Charlie earned that money, and it is his money.
And we're going to stop pillaging the money of our citizens.
And I want to complete the circle.
I called them a den of thieves.
Right. How is what they're doing to me not theft?
Well, all taxation is ultimately theft.
That is the price that you pay for living in a society.
And I think you, as a top 1% earner, as someone who is in the upper crust of this society, you have to pay more in order to keep society running.
That's not an unfair argument, I would say.
No, it's incredibly interesting because basically what you're saying is those of you that work harder and produce more, you must fork over by force to those that do not work as hard.
Would you rather they just keep all their money?
CEOs, billionaires, they just don't pay taxes at all?
I think a reduction of taxes...
I'm part of the 1%.
We've already paid a majority of the taxes in this country.
Vast majority of the taxes. And...
So what would I prefer? I'd prefer that more people keep your own hard-earned money and the government shrinks dramatically in its size.
Because that increases liberty and freedom.
Let me tell you what's going to happen, though.
It's easy to pick on people like me.
One day I'm paying 50%.
Soon it will be 60%.
Then it'll be 70%.
And then they'll come for you.
Because eventually I'm going to run out of money.
And you can laugh and chuckle.
But eventually they're going to come for the working class and the middle class.
They already are. They've already come for the working class.
That has not changed. Yeah, because the reservoir is getting dry.
Right, yes, the reservoir is getting dry.
And they don't just want to, you know, fund more of their doomed programs.
No, it's easy to roll your eyes, and it's easy to criticize rich people, of which I'm very blessed, and that's fine.
But have you ever gotten a job from a poor person?
Sorry, a job from a poor person?
They don't usually create jobs.
Yeah, bingo. Rich people create jobs with the money that isn't taxed by the government.
It doesn't have to be a rich person.
It could be the government. It could be the government.
They can make work programs, things like that.
Yeah, the government only creates jobs with the wealth that they extract from the citizenry.
The government does not create wealth.
The government extracts it, by definition.
Yes. So therefore what I'm saying is that if everyone here wants jobs, it's easy to pick on people like me.
It's easy to say you've got to pay more, you've got to do more.
What is hard is actually to have a mature argument rooted in liberty saying you can earn a vast majority of what you, you can keep a vast majority of what you earn, and that we're going to increase freedom and liberty so that you can actually one day be in the 1%.
Yeah, but when you talk about small governments, what programs will have to be sacrificed?
Will it have to be food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, child tax credits?
Well, how about one we can agree with?
Sending money to Ukraine. Sending money to Ukraine?
We should stop. $200 billion should not be sent to Ukraine.
Yeah, I don't really agree with imperialist wars.
I agree. So there we agree with something.
Of course. Yeah. There's tons of duplication, waste, fraud, and abuse.
We have trillions of dollars on necessary spending.
You're coming after this in a really good perspective and a good faith argument, and I respect that.
My closing argument with this will be this, which is that a small amount of entrepreneurs make the world a better place.
It is so tempting to be filled with envy, as we call in the Christian tradition, covetousness, which is the 10th commandment.
I'm not saying you're a Christian. I'm just saying in the Christian tradition, we believe it, to say, you shouldn't have that.
I'm going to take that from you.
What is hard, but actually makes society better, is to restrain yourself and say, when you see a big house, don't say, I don't think anybody should live like this.
Instead, say, I want everybody to live like this.
And that is a totally different perspective.
But didn't Jesus also say, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's?
No, for sure. I'm not saying I'm not going to pay taxes.
That's a different argument, right?
So he was talking about pay your taxes if the government issues you a tax bill, of which I do.
I also have the right, given by the country and also biblical principles, to protest that and to speak against it.
Because then you become a subject to the state.
So, last question.
Do you trust the government?
Absolutely not. We agree.
So then if you don't trust the government, shouldn't we stop sending so much money to the government?
Well, I prefer if we just had a completely different political framework in the first place.
Fair enough. But I think we can agree that...
Oh, come on.
I like my hair. Be nice. Be nice.
Be nice. Be nice. We're trying to be respectful.
I think it's rather nice. I use a lot of products.
I like it. It's good. Thank you.
At least someone agrees.
All right, but here's what I'll say. You've come after this in good faith.
We agree. We agree.
You don't trust the government. You want a different political framework.
My perspective is, therefore, if you don't trust the government, let's stop sending it so much of our hard-earned money.
Thank you so much. I've got to go to the next question.

Hi Charlie. My name is John.
I'm actually a Christian conservative.
I believe a lot of the same things that you do.
I just have one question on one policy that I think we might disagree on.
I don't know if you remember your debate with Jeff Durbin a little while back.
Okay. Are you familiar with the abolitionist movement?
So you're talking about punishing women for getting abortions, right?
Yes. Okay, I don't think I had a debate, but I had a dialogue.
Yeah, that's why I didn't remember.
So, as a Christian, you believe that murder is wrong, and that we should punish the murderer for the murder, right?
So why does it change when it's the mother and it's in her womb?
Because once it's born and she kills it at one year old, it's murder and it's her fault, right?
It's a fair argument. First of all, some people, I don't know Jeff's position, but the majority of people pushing this want retroactive enforcement of this.
Just so we're clear. So can we both agree there should not be retroactive enforcement of any law?
No, I don't think that's...
No, no, no. I want to make sure we're morally clear on that.
Yeah, no, no. That's not how laws work, right?
We don't have retroactive punishments.
Well, sometimes we do. If marijuana became illegal, we don't put everybody in jail for doing marijuana.
That's not totally clear. That's not totally true.
Nuremberg was a retroactive enforcement of laws.
Right, but that's a war crime.
That's different. Well, it's not. I just want to make sure we're clear, right?
So, secondly, this is where we disagree.
I look at the woman as a victim, not the murderer in the situation.
Why? Is the woman given informed consent when she gets an abortion?
Well, usually she gives informed consent.
Is she given an ultrasound?
Right. Not usually, actually, which is really unfortunate.
Yeah, so this is where I have sympathy.
And so this young lady here got an abortion at 18 weeks, okay?
I have sympathy for her because let me just build the argument out.
Her doctor told her, you must have an abortion or else you and your baby will die.
And I don't think she should go to jail for that, right?
Well, then what do you believe then?
So what I believe is we make it murder now, right?
So let's pretend she does that next week.
Then what happens to her? Well, it's illegal, right?
So she'd be told it's murder.
If it's illegal in the law, then you can't be like, oh, we're going to do it anyway instead of Planned Parenthood.
People don't murder and think that it's not illegal.
I guess we're discussing two different things.
But what I'm saying, though, is that wouldn't we agree the abortionist is really the one that should be blamed here?
The one that is putting the woman under local anesthesia, going in, breaking the neck of the baby, isolating it out.
Disgusting, right? It's an atrocity.
Those are the ones that should be held accountable.
They should be given capital punishment, yes.
Okay, sure, great. I agree.
But the woman here who was lied to and deceived and told in a time of panic and vulnerability, my heart goes out to her.
Yeah, that's manipulation, right?
I don't think she should be punished under the criminal code, right?
I think that...
Sorry, let me cut myself.
No, no, no. You're coming after from a good spot.
Yeah. I don't want to spend too much time on this.
Of course. But when I look in her eyes, she regrets with every fight.
Look at her. Of course. And so why should we throw the book at her?
We shouldn't, right? No, but I think that once we make it illegal, we can then move forward in a way that doesn't allow at home or like abortions can happen at home.
Fair enough. That's a good discussion. I just come after this from a perspective that I believe women are large in part victims in this industry.
I would agree. Because of the way that the society has put it, right?
It's not murder, and so they are victims because they're not told.
I think you make some good points. I'll think about it deeper.
Okay. Could I get a selfie with you real quick from my girlfriend?
Yes, absolutely. Thank you.
Want a hat? Okay, great.
Okay, thank you.
Why should I vote for Trump when his border policies are xenophobic?
What about his...
Guys, hold on.
What about his proposed or actualized border policy is xenophobic?
And then define xenophobic, please.
So xenophobic, it's like the liberal term for racist, I would say.
Okay, then you've got to define racist, then.
You just think you're better than someone else because of your race.
Got it. Okay. So now we have a definition of xenophobic racist.
Thank you. What about what Trump did or what he says he's going to do is about him believing he's better than another race?
So he took money out of our defense budget because the government or whoever would not allow him to have money for the wall.
And why are people not allowed to find safety, like go to a better country because they feel like unsafe in their country.
That's why they're leaving. Okay, so let me ask you a question.
Does every human being who says that they have a tough life have a right to come into America?
If they want to make their lives better, and America is like a great place, you were saying how rich people were making jobs, like if they could find a job...
Okay, I just want to be clear.
So that would be opening America to 5 billion people.
Are you comfortable with that?
Well, we're saying people that are unsafe in their country, they come to America to try and get a better life.
So basically the entire population of Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Venezuela, Colombia, Afghanistan, Senegal, the Congo, Pakistan.
But that's what, like Kamala, she's sending money to try and help these countries.
No, no, I want you to answer the question though.
Do the people that are in unsafe countries have a right to come into our country?
If they're able to, they should be able to.
Okay, so... Wait, but hold on.
Do you think it should be illegal to cross a border without permission?
No, that's why we should have legal ways to do it.
We do.
Then why are people coming illegally?
Because they're... Why do people cut in line at the airport to get in quicker and easier?
Yeah, and then you get deported because it's illegal.
Well, I wish they would get deported.
They're breaking into the country unwelcome, and it is against the law.
It is irrelevant of whether or not you come from a tough circumstance.
That means nothing in the administration of justice.
Am I allowed to rob a bank if I'm poor?
No. Am I allowed to break into somebody's home if I'm homeless?
There's the squatter's rights.
But if someone is homeless, are they able to break into your dorm room?
Now I'm going to kick them out.
You'll kick them out, right?
But then that's what the squatter rights do.
They don't let people kick them out.
First of all, we should get rid of all the squatter's rights stuff.
But secondly, it's an important point.
So you would say yourself, I would kick them out of the dorm room if they came into your dorm room.
Yes. So then we as Americans should kick out people that break into our country that were not invited or welcomed.
But they're coming illegally. They're coming illegally.
Yeah. Yes. And what I'm saying is, Camilla, well...
Kamala is trying to make it so there's more legal ways.
She's trying to stop people from having their families separated.
Okay, first of all...
There's 320,000 missing kids in this country right now because when they say they're part of a family, they're really being used as sex slaves on the southern border.
So that family separation thing is complete BS. That's number one.
Number two, let's get down to the moral argument of this.
It doesn't matter what you are fleeing.
It doesn't matter if you have a good story.
The question is, do you come here the right way or the wrong way?
That is the only question that matters.
Correct? Yeah. And so what Trump's position, you said, why should you vote for Trump?
Trump's position is this.
You're not allowed to come into the country unwelcome only if you are invited and accepted.
We have a big door and a big heart.
Raise your hand if you're a kid of immigrants or in this country.
Look at this. A lot of people.
Yeah, exactly. Look around.
We're a very generous country.
But that is legal immigration, not illegal immigration into our country.
Which is why the money he could have spent on the wall or something, he could have spent for better legal ways.
But hold on, you have to stop the illegal flow, right?
That's what the wall would do and border security would do.
And when you have millions of people that are coming unwelcome into the country, many of whom are carrying guns and drugs, that's kind of an invasion.
Right? So you and I both want the same thing.
We want a secure country with very transparent legal immigration laws.
Kamala Harris doesn't want that.
She wants chaos. How do I know that?
She has overseen the worst border in the history of this country.
10 million people, unwelcome, uninvited, coming across the country, 320,000 missing kids, fentanyl, drugs, terrible things.
Donald Trump had illegal border crossings at an all-time low.
You started the question, I want to answer it directly.
Was Donald Trump's border perspective racist or xenophobic?
No. In fact, it's the opposite.
It's Donald Trump putting the illegal immigrants of Mexico and Nicaragua who came here and waited in line, putting them first and not allowing people to cut in line and border jump into the United States of America.
Thank you very much. Now, let me ask you, how are you leaning this election?
Well, after what you said, Trump.
Let's go! God bless you, man.
Thank you. Plus one for Trump in Nevada, everybody.

Thanks for watching!
Hi Charlie, my name's Shane.
Nice to meet you. Yeah, Shane!
I wanted to build off what he was saying.
So basically, my ex-girlfriend, her and her family came here from Mexico.
It took her 10 years, her and her dad, who had worked here for 10 years, to gain citizenship.
I was just wondering, how exactly do you think the process for that could get easier so people that actually want to work hard Sorry.
And want to actually improve America and do those things to better it, how they could have an easier process.
The first thing is you've got to stop the illegal problem before we even talk about it.
We have a major crisis on this country, and we are losing what it means to be a citizen.
What it means to be a citizen is being diluted when you allow millions of people into your country.
The second thing is, the question should be asked, which is, are you going to assimilate with American culture?
And you look at Ilhan Omar, who has bitterness and hatred and resentment for America, we shouldn't continue to bring people that don't love America and assimilate.
And that means speak the language, love the country.
Yes, you have a thought? I'm not talking about those.
I'm talking about the people that do love America, that are trying to assimilate, that are working hard.
Are they here legally or illegally?
Legally. They're here legally.
We already have a process for them.
I'm just saying, for them, 10 years to become a citizen after you've been working I guess it could be reduced.
Again, it's unfair because illegals get preference, but I am of the opinion, you might not agree, citizenship should be hard to attain.
You should have to have a body of work to show that you're worthy of citizenship.
I know 10 years sounds like a lot, but think about it.
We're throwing around citizenship like a Frisbee.
You get a passport. You get a right to vote.
I think you have to show a body and a behavioral pattern that you're worthy of being a U.S. citizen.
That doesn't mean you're deported. You have temporary protected status here, right?
But in order to get across that threshold and say you are now a U.S. citizen, I think we reserve the right to say let's see at least five to ten years of who you are.
Have you committed crimes? Are you paying taxes?
And again, I'm more on that extreme because I think citizenship should be treasured, revered, and treated almost in a holy way.
No, I don't disagree with that.
What do you think if that process was not easier, not just handing it out, but more of like it actually had a set...
It is a mess.
It's a mess, no doubt.
Do you think that then...
More people would actually try to come here legally if it was a better process?
A lot of people still do, and that's what's crazy, is we have a waiting list of 40 million people that want to come into the country, many of whom just decide to fly to Mexico, come across the border, and cut in line.
So we are the envy of the world.
I wanted to say when it comes to immigration, though, we need to press pause on all forms of immigration until, this is important, until everyone in this audience has a standard of living at least as good as your parents.
And I think this is an important moral argument, that when you build a government, that your obligation is first and foremost to the people of the country, not to people outside the country.
And everybody in this audience is entering a country that's more expensive, harder to buy a home.
It's just a lot of problems.
So our moral obligation needs to be first, of course, to you guys, and then we can talk about opening it up to others.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
Disagreements. Anyone disagree?
You guys can work your way in.
Oh, yes, ma'am. I want to hear from you.
So can you say your name?
Taylor. Taylor, I don't want to put you on the spot if you're uncomfortable.
No, you can't. I talk about it.
Have you had a child since?
Can you talk about your story, please?
No. When I was 23, I got pregnant.
It wasn't planned. I decided I was going to do the right thing.
I came from a Christian family. Abortion was always off the table.
At 18 weeks, I found out that my amniotic sac tore and attached to my baby's spine.
It was pulling her spine out and filling her brain with fluid.
And the doctor said, there's no other option.
This is what we have to do.
So I did induce labor and I gave birth.
That was the grounds I said, I'm not doing this unless.
So I wanted to hold her.
I wanted to, yeah. So afterwards, when I started getting bills, The doctor said, well, your life wasn't actually at risk of death in that moment.
It could have been eventually, but it wasn't then.
And so the pain that that abortion caused me, I stayed in an abusive relationship for a year.
I allowed a man to beat me because I felt so little about myself.
I drank, I used drugs, and if it hadn't been for Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, I don't know where I would be.
First of all, you are healed and forgiven.
And one day you'll meet that little one in heaven.
And I want you to have that as comfort.
Because it says in the scriptures, God gathers the least of these in his hand.
And I believe that speaks to the unborn.
And I'll ask you a question.
Do you believe that the medical industry lied to you?
Absolutely. Talk more about that, because we're told to trust doctors.
And what would you have done?
Would you have brought that baby to term?
Because 18 weeks is before a baby can usually survive outside of utero.
Correct. But so giving birth to her, I was holding this little child.
I mean, she was a baby.
She had hands and nails and I mean, she was alive.
And in holding that baby, I just I knew I was like, well, I had no right to take her life.
And I felt like I was put in a position to choose that.
And my mom, she talks about how she's like, I'm sitting there listening to a doctor say that my daughter's going to die.
And I didn't know what to do.
And so we all felt this pressure and this pushing to abort my daughter.
And that wasn't the case.
What is your advice for women that are being lied to by doctors right now where they're being told something of that case?
That death does not heal anything, and so taking her life didn't heal me.
I mean, if anything, my life was worse off.
I wish that I had gone to term.
I wish that if she was going to pass, I wish she had passed in me without me choosing to take her life.
Is what I wish would have happened.
And I do know a woman who shared her story with me.
And she chose that route.
And she didn't die.
I mean, nothing happened. But she did pass the baby naturally as well.
And the baby died naturally in her.
But... I meet hundreds of women that, first of all, doctors say that your baby will die and that's just not true.
The baby ends up being perfectly healthy.
Why do you think doctors are so intent on death?
Like, what is that all about? Well, I think that at the end of the day, it is money in their pocket.
I hate to say it, but abortion is money.
And I mean, I think that death has been so, we've been so brainwashed that death isn't a big deal.
Abortion's not a big deal. It's just, it is what it is.
The doctor looked at me and he said, you know, hopefully I see you again in a year.
Like, it was just, eh.
So. Thank you for sharing your story.
I know how hard that is. And I hope that it's part of God's plan to bless you with more children.
Thank you. God bless you for your courage.
I do have a question. Yes. Okay. So I follow Maggie and Daniel McCarthy and they talked about the one day, one vote.
And it was highly, I guess, shunned by the Republican Party and they had mentioned your name too.
I wanted to know what your, I want your side of the story.
Yeah, I mean, it's really stupid for everyone to go vote on one day, and let me tell you why.
Who knows what happened to Adam Laxalt in 2022?
Adam Laxalt would have been the U.S. Senator here in Nevada if more people would have voted early.
We had a once-in-a-generation snowstorm in Elko, not far from here, that disenfranchised 10,000 people from voting, and if those people would have voted, Adam Laxalt would have been a U.S. Senator here from Nevada.
So if you guys want to go vote on Election Day, I guess that's fine.
Or what if a hurricane hits?
Or an earthquake? Your kid gets sick?
What if you get COVID? Why don't we bank our votes early and say that we're not going to allow natural disasters, calamity, or long lines?
In Arizona, let me tell you what happened.
Kerry Lake should be governor of Arizona.
But unfortunately, when I went to go vote for Kerry Lake in 2022, all of our machines failed in half of our precincts, triggering three to four hour waiting lines and people going in and getting out and not voting at all.
So that's because we all banked on one vote and one day.
Instead, we should sprout out our voting over a 30 day period, make it really hard to pinpoint, make it unpredictable, right, make it decentralized.
Our movement is so big, we can't fit all of our voters on one day.
Our movement is so excited, shouldn't we give our voters more days, not less days to go vote?
The other side is 30 days.
Why should we limit ourselves to 12 hours?
That's my view. Thank you so much.
You want a hat? God bless you.
And thank you again for your courage.
Thank you. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
