Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. New Jersey Turning Red: Election Rally & Observations
- Jack shares his experience at a major rally in Dumont, NJ, highlighting a groundswell of support for Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli in a traditionally blue state.

- Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill’s campaign portrayed as faltering, referencing a lack of enthusiasm and desperate measures like bringing in national Democrat figures.
- Cross-party endorsements:
- “If 12 elected Democrats can cross the aisle and vote for Jack Cittarelli… then maybe North Jersey wouldn’t mind if an Eagles fan like myself would come all the way up there and… rally for support.” (05:00)
- Working-class voter shift—blue-collar, ethnic communities are “turning” due to COVID policies, tax burdens, and immigration issues.
- “There's a lot of people who may have voted for Democrats in the past, but they are the ones who are turning because of COVID, because of taxes… and also because of the massive influx of illegal aliens to New Jersey.” (24:32)
2. Rutgers TPUSA, Dr. Antifa & University Backlash
Background

- The university’s response: Not support for the targeted students, but investigation against them.
- “The only thing that they're doing is investigating our chapter… behind Megan and I’s backs… trying to oust us from our E-Board positions.” (16:15, Ava)
- Petition objective:
- “I wanted to educate non-students, alumni, students, and even donors alike [on] why this professor… was promoting political violence, doxing, threats…” (14:00, Megan)
- On Dr. Antifa’s flight to Spain:
- “I think that him fleeing is only to escape accountability from his actions and his political rhetoric… also to flee persecution from the Trump administration.” (21:51, Megan)
- Atmosphere on campus and in NJ:
- “After this whole Dr. Antifa situation, I think it begs the question of who is educating the next generation of adults… It's so terrifying to see.” (23:12, Ava)
Notable Exchanges

- “You absolutely did the right thing… Turning Point headquarters… is behind you 100%... Violent rhetoric, whether from a student or from a professor… has no place on any college campus in America.” (17:04)
- Humorous moment:
- “[These students are] so terrifying, isn’t she? She said. They said that she was the one who terrified a professor to have to run all the way to Europe.” (12:22, Jack)

3. Parental Rights & the NJ Gubernatorial Contest
Terry Schilling (American Principles Project) Interview
- Schilling’s take on NJ politics:
- “If I can go out there and say something nice about the New York Giants… then I think that if [Ciattarelli] gets that crossover vote, he's going to win.” (29:11)
- Key campaign themes:
- Schilling discusses polling that indicates swing voters are moving away from incumbent Democrats due to issues like transgender policies in schools and erosion of parental rights.
- “8% of them shift over to Jack Ciattarelli when they find out that Mikie Sherrill supports taking away parental rights or giving kids sex change procedures.” (29:11)
- “They don't want boys in girls sports. They don't want boys in girls locker rooms because they know that problems will happen from that.” (29:11)
- Investment in NJ race:
- “We're over a million dollars now that we're going to be spending in New Jersey to help Jack Ciattarelli get over the top.” (30:20)
- Cultural divide explanation:
- “In New Jersey, it's very common sense, it's working class… They want to make enough money to put food on the table so that they can send their kids to get the right apprenticeships and take care of them… It's a totally different class of voters.” (34:49, Terry)
4. The Fight to Protect Children from Pornography
Legacy of Charlie Kirk & Impact of Online Porn
- Remembering Charlie Kirk:
- Schilling reflects on Kirk’s priorities and his support for American Principles Project.
- “He was constantly checking in with me to see how the movement was going, what we needed at app… he was just an all around… never asked me for a dime.” (39:15, Terry)
Age Verification Legislation
- Why it’s critical:
- “What we know is that early pornography use almost always leads to erectile dysfunction… erectile dysfunction for almost all of human history has been an old man's disease. But the reality is that pornography causes that.” (45:57, Terry)
- Widespread support and industry pushback:
- “We're up to 24 states now that are protecting minors from… adult content… when age verification laws get passed, Pornhub very— and it's so obvious they're targeting minors—because when the age verification laws get passed… they leave and shut down in the entire state.” (43:22, 44:56, Terry and Jack)
- Industry resistance indicates their business model targets youth:
- “Their entire business model is geared towards our children… they want kids to watch porn.” (43:22, Terry)
- Broader significance:
- Connecting the consumption of increasingly extreme porn with social desensitization and, in horrific cases, violent acts—citing the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk’s own online behaviors.
