Day 4 Turning Point AM Fest 2025 man, what a. What a week. I mean all of these events are like that. This is actually my favorite day. It's always my favorite day, starting with worship. Ben, Bo, Benny, we got the three bees. We got the killer bees, Brian. But it's great to be with you guys. This morning I actually had the opportunity take Billy, my wife and Lily, our youngest daughter in and start the day with worship. And that's what I love about today. Every amfest and Turning Point TPUSA does the best worship. And to me that's what this is all about, especially for the young people. You know, you talk about impacting the next generation. That's where it starts. It starts with faith and Turning Point. Understanding that and obviously see Charlie, his whole message understanding that, it's just an honor. Yeah, it is. And Ben, something That I think I've even forgotten about is we are four days away from Christmas, from. From the birth of our Lord and savior. Benny's wearing her Christmas red, of course. But you know, when you're at these things, you sometimes get lost. I always forget that Amfest happens right before Christmas. But what a perfect lead in to it. What a perfect day for it. You know, we closed out yesterday with, I thought a very inspiring day. There was a lot of faith forward messaging. I think Pastor Laurie, he closed out the night. I think he's opening actually today as well. We'll take you live in just a few minutes. But I do also want to mention that what we played at the top of the show is Anthem of the Free. And you heard that song. It's with the J6 prison choir. What's amazing about this is over the past several days, you guys in your purchase of this song have driven it to number one on the iTunes sales chart, which is pretty amazing. It was like 13 and then it went up to one. So one in hip hop and one overall. So that was made possible because of you guys. Anthem of the Free. And because of that, to thank you for that, we're actually going to be giving away as a content. One lucky person will be getting this signed Rebels, Rogues and Outlaws poster signed by the great Steve Bannon. Now here's how you can enter to win this contest. Make sure. Listen closely. You can text J6PC J6PC to 75802. That's the number you need to text it to 75802. And that will allow you to enter the contest. I think Parker told me last night there were almost 800 entries thus far. So there's a lot of people that want to win this thing. It's beautiful. You can see it here. It will be given away on January 5th, just in time for the anniversary of J6. So make sure you text that number to enter this great contest. But Benny, I just feel like it's been a great four days and I think it's going to be even better. We've got Vice President J.D. vance. There's apparently a special surprise coming. I don't know what it is necessarily. I think I know, but I'm not sure. But what do you think's in store for us? Well, seeing the line in here on the way in at 6am was, was quite the surprise. I mean, lines wrapped around the building and there is. We have heard some, some teasers as to potential special guests that will be making their way here. And I'm just, I'm really excited. I think this week is like you've said, Bo, you know, going into Christmas, it's just so incredible how, how all, all of us have come together and shared faith and politics and, and how, how we hope to keep this revival going. But I think guests are in for some surprises today. I'm really excited to see if we're right on some of these. Ben, I'll give you just kind of a quick rundown of who's going to be here today. Pastor Greg Laurie will kick us off. Michael Watley, Tom Holman, Congressman Byron Donalds. And we will be speaking to Byron. I think he's going to be stopping by, which is great. He's an amazing guy. Congressman Andy Biggs, Glenn Beck. Speaker Mike Johnson, Donald Trump Jr. Erica Kirk, it says, and special guest. We don't know who that is, I don't think yet. And then Vice President J.D. vance. Ben, have you seen any of the stuff that Glenn Beck is doing with AI lately? Have you seen some of the stuff he's doing? Just to give you a quick run. And I happen to see this only because I watched follow him on Instagram. He is apparently the third largest collection of private founding documents outside of the Library of Congress. And he's got this museum for it. It's been in a vault. And I read what he's doing. He's, his proprietary technology is, is incorporating it with AI and he's created a virtual librarian George Washington that has ingested it all so that when you talk to this person, it's supposed to be a healthy way of using AI. So you can ask that person who can only answer from the ingestion of those founding documents to teach. This is like Glenn's next chapter is to educate people using only those founding documents. How incredible is that? Yeah, you know, it's one of those things. And I got into this with Joe Allen the other day. We were know, obviously Joe is a strong opponent of AI. He's basically his entire mission is on defeating AI and in the, you know, the bot world that's coming. But I'm, I'm mixed on it. You know, I see the value. I mean in some ways it's, it's somewhat inevitable. Technology continues to increase. You think of micro computing. I saw an image the other day of a, of a fingerprint and it was zoomed in, zoomed in. And at the, one of the, the ridges on a fingerprint was a tiny microchip. And I'm thinking, okay, I mean some of this stuff, like, when you, when you see the, the, the level of technology, it's way beyond me. I'm like, okay, we're heading to some unknown, uncharted places. But. And some of it's scary. And I think, like, with robotics, especially when we have 8 billion people, we're gonna have 10 billion people on the Earth pretty soon, there aren't going to be jobs potentially. I mean, there's a. There's a lot of concern about that. But I look at something like that and I say, well, while it's here, let's use it for our advantage. So how do you, how do you navigate that in a way. How do we navigate technology in a way? And even as a Christian, you know, you think about what's coming. You know, people talk about the Mark of the Beast all the time. They're talking about implanting chips in your head and all this crazy stuff. And you think, okay, Lord, guide me in this. Help me to use these things, things through your glory. Help me to see, have foresight and wisdom about what's good and what's evil. But it is. I mean, something like that is incredible. I think it's a fine line, Ben. And you're so right, because I remember a conference I went to in Barcelona a couple years ago, and they had that famous painting of the two fingers touching, and the top finger was not God's, it was a robot's. That scared me. So you have to think about, like you said, mark of the Beast, artificial intelligence. It's not human intelligence. We were created from God. So how do you lasso that for ethical purposes? But here's what I'm thinking basically, is, okay, so if you lasso this for the Bible, and people could use AI to actually teach people the Bible, because we already have apps for it right now, could that be an ethical way to do it? So I think it's certainly possible. And I think I said, so we're gonna, we're gonna head into the main room now. It says no, no. Is it not? Maybe there's nothing. Oh, there we go. We do have screen. Let's head in there and check it out. In the home of the bride. Good morning, everybody. You can all be seated. My name is Greg Lori, and I'm a pastor from California. Don't hold that against me. Someone's got to stay back in California to turn the lights off. But actually, I'm staying there to keep the lights on. The light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, right? So I received express direction to not stand behind the vice presidential podium. But I'm so tempted, but I'm not going to. I want to just share a few words with you this morning. This Sunday morning, as we gather for what is going to be an epic day. We're going to hear from a lot of very significant people, including the Vice President of the United States, J.D. vance. I don't know if you've seen the Vice President's movie about his life. Based on a book called Hugh Billy Elegy, it's a classic American story. A boy raised in Middleton, Ohio. His mother was addicted to drugs, married and divorced many times. And his grandmother, who he called his mama, stepped in and literally saved his life. His life turned around. He became a Christian. He joined the Marine Corps. He eventually went to college, to Yale, and wrote his book. And next thing you know, he's a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. Maybe your past will explain you, but it doesn't have to define you. And I kind of relate to the history a little bit. Because my mother was married and divorced seven times. I, too, was raised by my grandmother. I, too, came into a relationship with Jesus Christ, and it changed the trajectory of my life. But when I was a little boy, I used to go into my bedroom when I was living with my grandparents, pull the covers up over my head and talk to an imaginary character I came up with. And I named him Mr. Nobody. I would pour my heart out to Mr. Nobody, tell him what I was thinking about, tell him what frightened me. And the sad thing is, I was 30 when I was doing this. Not really, no. I was probably, I don't know, five years old. And then as I got older and one day on my high school campus, I heard the gospel. I realized Mr. Nobody had a name. It was Jesus Christ, you see. And I want to tell you a story today that Jesus told. We call it the Parable of the Prodigal Son. But it could better be called the Parable of the Prodigal Sons. And it's a story of our lives because we're all searching. We're all searching for meaning. We're all searching for purpose. We get around to asking the big questions of life, like, why am I here? What is the meaning of my life? What is going to happen to me after I die? So Jesus told this amazing story, and it simply begins with these words. A man had two sons. One of those sons that we call the prodigal son, was restless. He was a rule breaker. He was a troublemaker. The other son, who really was a prodigal in his own way, was obedient to the father. He was a rule keeper. But both of them needed to be right with their dad. So the prodigal son, the rule breaker one day said, I'm loosely paraphrasing, dad, I'm tired of all of your lame rules and regulations and I'm tired of waiting for you to die. I just want my inheritance now. He was the ultimate Nepo baby, so his father gave him his portion of the inheritance and that boy went out and lived a wild and crazy life. He was living la vida loca for sure, but he came to the end of himself very quickly. And the Bible says, Jesus says, and that boy came to his senses and he realized, you know what? This sucks. Life back home with my dad was actually really good. I didn't know how good I had it and I was going to go back to my father and say, dad, I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. Maybe you'll just give me a job. I'll just go Season two of unrivaled basketball is here and the talent is unreal.

But he came to his senses. And, you know, I know you folks have come from all around America, from every state. Some of you have come from other countries, and I know you come from all kinds of different spiritual backgrounds, but I want you to know that no matter where you come from, there is a God in heaven who loves you and can forgive you of your sin and give to you the meaning and purpose of life. Because really, if you look at Charlie Kirk's life and boil it down to its essence, what motivated this young man to do what he did? What kept him going even when there were threats on his life? It was his relationship with Jesus Christ. And he is with Jesus right now because he put his trust in Christ. But it is true. But back to our story. So the boy decides to go home. And that brings up an interesting question. How long does it take to become a Christian? You know, sometimes people say, you know, I'm in the process of converting. Look, you're either converted or you're not converted. Becoming a Christian, it doesn't take years. It doesn't take months. It doesn't take weeks. It doesn't take days. It doesn't even take hours. It can happen just like that. See, for me, after being raised in an alcoholic home, I went and lived my own crazy life. I got into drugs, I got into drinking. Quickly saw how empty it was. And when I heard people talk about their faith in God, I was actually walking across my high school campus, and there was a group of Christians singing songs about Jesus. And I thought they were collectively insane. I thought they were one taco short of a combination plate. I wondered, why would anybody do what these people are doing? There's no reason to do that. And I sat down far enough away where I could eavesdrop on their conversation, but close enough where I could hear it. But I didn't want to be counted as one of them. And a guy got up to speak that day. They made a movie about it called Jesus Revolution. I don't know if you saw the movie, but he made one statement. He said, jesus said, you're for me or you are against me. And I looked at the Christians and I said, well, I am not one of them. Does that mean that I am against Jesus? See, I always believed Jesus was real. I always believed he existed. I had seen all of his Movies. But I didn't know that I could have a relationship with him. And it was like a light went on. This is it. This is what I have been looking for. And that can happen for you here today, even right now. So the boy decided to go home now, kind of move the camera around from the boy's point of view. We are back home with dad. He is back at the ranch, missing his son, loving his son, longing for the return of his son. And he looks down the road and here comes his boy. And Jesus said that Father got up and ran to his son and threw his arms around him and said, this. My son who is dead is alive again. And he who is lost is found. This is a picture of God. You are like the prodigal son. We wander away from God, but God misses us. God longs for a relationship with us. And when we come to him, he will throw his arms around him. By the way, did you know that in this culture it was considered undignified for an older man to run? Not to mention, it's harder for an older man to run. You know, I talk to people that say, I just had a good run, man. I really felt the release of the endorphins. I have never felt a single endorphin released when I've run. I can tell you that I have felt endorphin released. Eating hamburger, though. But anyway, he welcomes the son home. So that's that story. We know that story, probably. But here's the story we may not know. The older brother, he was ticked off. He was angry. Dad, how come you're so excited about my brother coming home again? And I've been here and I've kept all the rules and done everything. Why don't you do something like that for me? You're throwing a party for him. What about me? The Father says, son, everything that I have is yours. I love you. And your brother who was lost is found again. We can be like that older brother. We can say, oh, I keep all the rules. I try to live a good life. But, you know, sometimes your good life can keep you away from God. Because everybody needs Jesus. The down and outer needs Jesus, the up and outer needs Jesus. No matter how badly you've sinned, God will forgive you. But even if you've lived in the most admirable moral life, you still need God. You say, well, maybe I need a little religion. Friend, you don't need a little religion. You need a lot of Jesus. That's the answer. That's what it is. It's a relationship with God that you can have. I started by saying this man had two sons. I, too, am a father with two sons. Christopher and Jonathan are their names. And both of them, though raised in a Christian home, went astray for a time and got into a partying lifestyle and drinking and drugs and things like that. And my older brother Christopher came back to the Lord and recommitted his life to Christ. But his younger brother Jonathan was still going astray. And so one day, Jonathan talked to his brother Christopher and said, I know I need to get right with the Lord. And Christopher said, buddy, what's it going to take? And tragically, that next day, Christopher was killed in an automobile accident. That was 16 years ago. It was the worst moment of our lives. Devastating. But Jonathan realized at that point he needed to get right with God, and he made a recommitment to Christ. Now listen to this. We asked the question, why did God allow our friend Charlie Kirk to die at such a young age? Why was this tragedy allowed? And my answer is simple. I don't know. I don't know. But I know this much. Despite this horrible tragedy that took place, God has taken it and used it to touch thousands of people around the nation and around the world. Think about it. Think about it. There's 33,000 people gathered here at Amfest. And think about Bible sales going up, church attendance going up, people saying that they've given their life to Christ since what happened to Charlie. So I'm not saying God had this happen so all these great things would happen. I'm saying, despite the tragedy, God has done amazing things. And maybe this is your wake up call today. Maybe you're saying, I need a relationship with Christ like Charlie Kirk had. And you can have it. You might be like that prodigal son that broke the rules. You might be like the prodigal son that stayed home. But the Father loved them both, and God loves you. And I wonder if there's somebody here that would like to ask Christ to come into their life. Someone here that would like to have their sin forgiven. Someone here that would like to know that they will go to heaven when they die. If so, I am going to pray a prayer, and I am going to ask you to pray this prayer after me. You can pray it out loud if you want to, but this is a prayer where you are saying to God, I know I am a sinner. I know you are the Savior I need, and I want your forgiveness today. I want a relationship with you. I want to know you like Charlie Kirk did. I want to know you like my Christian friends do. Come into my life. If you need Christ in your life, pray this with me. Let's all bow our heads. Pray this prayer right where you are. Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, but I know that you are the Savior who died on the cross and rose again from the dead. I turn from my sin now and I choose to follow you from this moment forward as my Savior and Lord, as my God and friend. Thank you for hearing this prayer and answering this prayer. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you if you prayed that prayer. And let me say, let me say in closing, I'll give a free Bible. It's called the New Believers Bible. It's a special edition of the New Testament that we put together with notes that I wrote that will encourage you in your faith. If you look on the screen, take a picture of that QR code. I'll send you one of those for yourself. It's going to be a great day. God bless you and thank you for listening. When you think about where we are as a country today, we can do better. We need to do better. We need patriots from all 50 states. We're going to rebuild our border. We're going to restore our economy. We're going to keep our communities safe. And we are going to make sure that America is strong enough to protect our interests and our allies around the world. And I will fight every day to make America stronger, safer and a more prosperous country. Season two of Unrivaled basketball is here and the talent is unreal.

Turning Point what a morning. What a morning indeed. Smells like freedom in here, doesn't it? Are we allowed to say Merry Christmas? Let's say Merry Christmas. You know, last winter, I got a phone call from President Trump. I wasn't expecting this call, but it came in. I was in my truck driving across North Carolina, and he said, hey, Michael, Ronnie McDaniel is going to step down as the RNC chair, and I want you to be the next chair of the Republican National Committee. We need to win this election. So before the election took place, before I was put in as the chair, I hopped on a plane and I flew to Phoenix and I sat down with Charlie Kirk. I said, charlie, we need to win this election, and we cannot do it without you. We cannot do it without Turning Point. So what do you need from me? How can I help you? And Charlie's response was, classic Charlie. What do you need from me, and how can we help you? The fact is, President Trump would not be in the White House today if it were not for the people in this room and if it were not for the people of Turning Point. And it would not be without Charlie Kirk. You know, I had dozens, hundreds of conversations with Charlie throughout the course of the election with folks from Turning Point all across the country. You were always there. You were always there with a smile on your face, and you were always there with a purpose. We need more Turning Point. We need more of what the people in this room are bringing to the table. Today, Donald Trump ran on a very simple going to make America great again. We're going to rebuild our economy, we're going to restore our borders, and we're going to make sure that America is respected again around the world. When I got my first call from Trump Tower in 2015 asking me to run North Carolina for him, I had watched him come down the stairs, the escalator, and lay that vision out and signed on. When I signed on, he was at 1% in the polls. He was 15th out of 15. But you know what? Good policy is good politics, and there is nobody better than Donald Trump when it comes to laying out a vision for America. So here we are, 10 years later, three elections later, and Donald Trump is still working every single day to rebuild our economy, to restore our borders, and to make sure that America is respected again around the world. You know, I got another call from the president a few weeks ago, Michael. Thom Tillis is not going to be running for Senate in North Carolina again. I'm sitting here with Vice President Vance. We both think you're the guy. So here's the deal. You're going to run and you're going to win and you're going to do great. Congratulations. So I'm running for Senate in North Carolina, and I'm running for Senate because I think North Carolina needs a conservative champion and I think Donald Trump needs an ally in Washington. You know, I go back to all of these elections that I've ever worked on, all these elections that I've ever volunteered for. I grew up, I was a kid in the middle class in a tiny little town called blowing Rock, North Carolina, 534 people. I went to church, I played sports, I worked. And the first campaign that I ever volunteered on, I was a sophomore at watauga High School, 1984, for Ronald Reagan. And I realized what having the right man in office means. I realized that having somebody with a vision for America, knowing that we can do better, was going to turn this country around and turn the world around. And Ronald Reagan was that guy. I was able because of my upbringing. I paid my way through college by working, paid my way through law school, got a job up in Washington D.C. got married to the greatest lady in North Carolina, have three great kids. Because of what North Carolina and what America gave me was an opportunity right now in North Carolina, we need to keep this seat. What happens if the Senate goes Republican or Democrat? What happens if the House goes Democrat? We go right back to impeachments, we go right back to hoaxes, we go right back to investigations. And Donald Trump's agenda goes off the rails. We need to keep this agenda on the rails. We need to make sure that he has a full four years. So we need you. We need you. You know, one of the best lessons that I learned with President Trump, with J.D. vance, with Charlie Kirk, with great people all across this country is winning is not enough. It is not enough to win an election. It's what you do after you win. Me, I'm going to fight every single day for North Carolina. I'm going to fight for every family, I'm going to fight for every community. I'm going to make absolutely sure that we are creating jobs, we are raising wages, we are lowering prices. We're going to keep our kids and our communities safe. My opponent, Roy Cooper, been in office for 38 years. He is a card carrying member of the Woke Mob. He fights every day criminals. He fights for illegal aliens. He fights for men who want to play in women's sports and go in girls locker rooms. We don't need Roy Cooper in the Senate. We need somebody who's going to Stand there shoulder to shoulder with President Trump and be a conservative voice and a conservative champion. I'm glad I can count on Turning Point. It is a huge honor to be endorsed by Donald Trump. It is a huge honor to find out this morning that I'm going to be endorsed by Turning Point usa. And we have a fantastic Turning Point team down in North Carolina. Mackenzie Hudson and the rest of the guys down there. Absolutely fantastic. Isaiah, really appreciate the work that you do at all of our common, our campuses. And I'm going to need you and I'm going to need all of your support to win this race. Because when you think about it, this is the most transformational presidential term of our lifetime. Donald Trump has secured that border. Donald Trump has made America respected again around the world. And he is working every day to get this economy that Joe Biden left in a ditch, out of the ditch and on the road to recovery. But Donald Trump can't do it alone. And I can't do it alone. So I'm here to ask for your help. I need every single one of you to go to michaelwatley.com I need you to sign up. I need you to volunteer. I need you to make phone calls. I need you to knock on doors. Because, by God, when it comes down to election Day this year, it's going to come down to a vote. North Carolina is going to be the most expensive Senate race in the history of the country. We're 30% Republican, we're 30% Democrat, we're 40% unaffiliated. We win our races narrowly. But Donald Trump has won every single one of those races and we're going to win in 2028 because we are fighting for every community, we're fighting for every family, and we're fighting for what's right. So I really appreciate the opportunity to come out here to start off this great day. Are we excited about having the Vice President of The United States, J.D. vance, in the House? So I'm allowed to say Merry Christmas. Let's all say Merry Christmas and God bless you. God bless Turning Point and God bless America. Thank you, guys.

I, I do so much work out in the field where I'm getting attacked all the time. So to come to this, it really does, it recharges, but it also empties. You know, it's like recharging and emptying the tank at the same time. It's just exhausting, but it's awesome too. All the people, all of the, the viewers, all the grab family from around the world. I think we're all, for the next three days, we're not going to have voices. I'm going home to my girls. Thank God I had my wife and our youngest with us and that makes all the difference for me. But I'll go back. Chloe and Olivia are still at home. Shout out to Chloe and Olivia if you're watching. I love you girls and my dad, mom and dad, Paul and Cherry. Love you guys. I'll see you guys in a bit. Anyone else who want to give shout outs to. Now that we're up here, it's day four. I'm gonna give a shout out to my mom who's been watching my wife Alice and my little son Alexander. He's almost due, which, by the way, Ben, I got to give you credit again last night at dinner, you and your daughter, your daughter is so perfectly well behaved and I came up to you, I said, I've been down here, she just made a peep. And like I said, if my son were here, he would have every glass on the floor. He would be a complete wrecking ball. I'd be chasing him around. Maybe that's the difference between a boy and girl. But congratulations to you on being a good parent. So I'll need some good tips for sure. I don't have boys. I was a terrible kid. You know, the girls, I don't know, girls are just better. They just seem better. What about you, Benny? How are you around 10 years old? Your dad's. Your dad's here. How was I? Around what age? Two years. Two years old. I don't think I was very good. I mean, I actually heard the other day that a dad, he says that he would rather have more boys than girls because to be a girl dad takes so much work. And I. I beg to differ. I mean, maybe my wife does all the work, but I. I mean, for me, it's just been easy. Teenager phase, girl, the hormones. So I'm just get. I'm just getting, you know, here. My dad's right here. I'm curious what he would have to say about that. Well, how was I at 2 years old? Clearly good dad, though. Raised a good daughter, so. Well, thank you. But, hey, yeah, I've heard that boys are harder probably initially, but maybe girls are harder later. Yeah, yeah. Because there's a whole other set of. But that's why we moved to Arkansas. I can have the largest arsenal that I want. And I can. You know, I. I can all the babies. I can chase the guys cleaning that gun. We're gonna. We're gonna. We're gonna head into the main stage right now. Let's. Let's take it away. Oh, you guys don't even know. It's gonna be crazy. We'll find out. You're gonna find out real soon. My name is Tyler Boyer. I'm the CEO of. I have with me four individuals who are going to be some new faces here in Congress, because I think. I think we need a lot of new faces in Congress. Wouldn't you agree? So we're going to go down the line real quick, introduce ourselves where you're running real quick, and then we have some questions. We'll do some Q and A. I do want to throw this out. If you're watching at home or even in here, if you go to turning point USA's Rumble or are on the Turning Point Action Rumble, you can actually input your questions. We're going to do some direct Q and A straight from the Rumble Chat. So we appreciate our. Our great sponsor Rumble for doing that. So let's go ahead and start. Amanda, why don't you introduce yourself? Hi, everyone. Just a quick shout out to all the students out there. And I know that there's some Turning Point prep year out there. And I see you just wanted to say. Amanda McKinney. I'm running for congressional district four in Washington state. Yeah, we're gonna have conservative principal representation in Washington State. It's hard to find a Conservative in Washington, but your district's pretty conservative. We are very conservative. Hey, there's a sunny, insane side to Washington State, everybody. And, you know, sometimes the darkest have the brightest stars. All right, good morning, Turning Point. Good morning. Where's my Arizona people? In the House. I'm retired Sheriff Mark Lamb. You may know me better for Fridays with Frank. That's my guy. But we did live pd. We did all that stuff. But I'll tell you what, we got a country to fix. And I'm running to fill the shoes, the big shoes that Andy Biggs left behind, pun intended. Who's now running for governor of Arizona. Right? Let's hear it for guy Andy Biggs. And I'm running to fill that position. I think Washington, D.C. needs more cowboy hats and belt buckles. What do you guys think? We need some common sense. So I'm running for CD5 here in Arizona. I wouldn't want to get kicked by your boots in Congress, so that's great. And I am endorsed by President Trump, Turning Point Action, and we got a handful of other endorsements. But the endorsement that matters is the endorsement of the people of CD5. So if you're here today, I'm looking forward to getting your vote. Well, good morning, everybody. My name is Joe Mitchell. I'm from Iowa, and I'm running for United States Congress. And the first thing I have to say is Tyler Boyer is the most powerful political operative in the United States. Let me give a round of applause for Tyler. Yeah, knock it off. And the other thing I have to say is this is much larger than a no Kings rally, isn't it? It's just far larger. And the people are much more beautiful. You go to these no Kings rallies. It doesn't look like they brush their teeth in months and they're all overweight. We have much more beautiful people in our movement, don't we, Tyler? You know, so we're running for Congress in Iowa. We're going to win. We're here to keep it red. And we're going to go to Washington, D.C. to have a strong ally for President Donald Day Trump. Thank you, everybody. Mr. Alfonso. Well, I'm Michael Alfonso. Thank you, everyone, for being here today. It's amazing to be here in Arizona at Turning Point. But I'm running for Congress in Wisconsin, 7th congressional district. Our. Our former Congressman Tom Tiffany. He was speaking yesterday. He's running for governor. I'm here. I'm so excited. And frankly, to all the young people in the audience, we're the generation that Charlie died for. It's time for us to step up and make a difference. All right, let's get right at it. So I'm going to start. Washington, D.C. is the most corrupt city in America, without question. How do we root out the corruption that's in Washington D.C. what is your plan? We're going to rapid fire and everyone can just kind of jump in here. But let's start. Joe, what's your plan and what do you want to do to make sure that we start getting some things done in D.C. that we're not seeing get done right now? Right. Well, three things. Number one, I'm not taking any corporate PAC money. So I'm not taking any money from Pfizer. No money from BlackRock, no money from JP Morgan, no corporate PAC money. All my money from the people. The second thing is term limits. We got to have term limits. I don't want to be up there. Who here supports term limits for Congress? I don't want to be up there. Who doesn't support term limits for Congress? Is that Nancy Pelosi. And speaking of Nancy Pelosi, by the way, we got to stop this insider trading. We got to stop this insider trading. People go up there, they're worth about $2 and they come out and they're worth about $20 million. How's that happen? It's totally wrong. We have to stop it. So those three things would fix a lot of it. Do you all support a who here supports a stock trading ban for members of Congress? And Tyler, I'll even go a step further. I don't just support that. I will never trade a stock in any capacity if I'm in office. Let's jump over to immigration. Real season two of unrivaled basketball is here and the talent is unreal.

Sheriff Lamb, you're probably going to, without a doubt, be the most proficient member of Congress when it comes to knowing what's actually going on on the border coming, you know, obviously, being a sheriff in a border state. Let's talk about the dangers that we D.C. and what is Congress not doing enough of right now to ensure that we actually codify what the president wants to codify to end not just illegal immigration, but bad immigration policy in the country? Well, that's exactly the point. Did you guys know we had a border problem the last four years? Ah, it was really bad. For those of you that aren't that weren't familiar with it on the ground level, it was terrible. We, we had people all over the world coming here. We had people from Africa, China, the Middle East. They were coming from everywhere. They weren't being vetted. It was a huge disaster. They wanted to run a bill that was not a border bill. It was a global assistance bill. They wanted to give more money to Ukraine, to Israel, to all these different places, and didn't want to actually deal with the border issue. What we needed was not new legislation. We needed a new president. We needed new leadership. And Donald Trump, President Trump has come in and he has fixed the border. But to Tyler's point, what we need to do to fix it long term, and where Senate and Congress, and hopefully the four of us play a role, is we have to codify into law these changes that the President has made through executive orders. If we don't change these, we're going to go right back to it, should a Democrat, heaven forbid, ever take power again as President of the United States. So we have to stop. We have to change this. We got to codify into law. And you talk about the effect of it. The effect has been, look, we had two of our service members shot by an Afghan. We had police six months before that on a traffic stop in Fairfax, Virginia, shot. We got another guy that was making bombs. We're seeing it every day, folks. And one last thing. The biggest threat to America is not bombs. It is not guns. It is fentanyl and drugs being brought into this country. It's killing more Americans than any other army has ever done and we have to put a stop to it. So God bless President Trump for bombing those boats. Well, and sure, bomb more boats. Bomb more. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. Okay. We don't need to get. Now this is going to be the headline from today. Great. No, but for we have all of our young people sitting in the front. The fentanyl crisis is one of the most dramatically under reported and not talked about issues for young people where we're seeing this get just enter all of our schools and so many young people, we've had so many parents that have come to turning point and said I'm, you know, my family's a victim where we've lost a son or daughter to fentanyl. So when it's affecting everybody, it's affecting the youth. Everybody in here knows somebody who's had an issue. I have five children. One of my sons struggled with drugs and one of my sons was on fentanyl. He was one of the, one of the people that made it off of it only to be killed by somebody driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. So I hate drugs and I'll do everything I can to protect you, the American people, from the cartels bringing this poison into our country. So immigration impacts not just the southern border, but we have the northern border as well. So Michael is a border state. Amanda, what is your viewpoint of this? And just piggybacking on what we're talking about because this isn't just as Sheriff Land brought up, this isn't just a southern border porous issue. What have you seen and how that's impacting to the state of Washington? Obviously we have some pretty terrible policies that have made Milwaukee and Seattle pretty awful places that have now bled over and ruined the rest of the state in many ways. Well, Washington shares a border with Canada and there's a whole lot of activity done on the southern border. But there is just as much reason to protect that northern border. So it's really important. But every city in town right now, no matter where you're at, is a border city because the fentanyl is on our streets. And in Washington state, because of our sanctuary policies, we have probably the highest number of illegal aliens living and coming through because they seek the services and the benefits that are provided by our state government. Washington's one of the worst states per capita. Absolutely. For sanctuary cities to have illegals living in your state and in, in the numbers compared to citizens, it's not just the threats on our streets. But right now we have coordinated cartel run illegal vendors popping up that threaten public safety, public health and they're violent towards our health officers. I mean it's everywhere. But they're clogging up our hospitals so you can't go to an emergency. Has anyone tried to go to an emergency room in rural America? And God bless our doctors and nurses and they're doing their best but they are clogged. The system is clogged. And in our communities Especially, we had one hospital in a rural community where over 5,000 unique illegal aliens used our emergency room in one year. How are you as a citizen going to get access to the care that you need? And as a mother, I need to know that if there's emergency that I'm able to quickly access. Especially when rural America, because you're already hours of away, you can't wait for hours in the emergency room to get there. Right. You know, I just want to add. Well, I'm going to ask you this question. I'm going to cut you off. Michael. If you get into Congress, you will be the youngest member of Congress in America, bar none. You will dramatically bring down the average age of every member of Congress. And, and you all four, you are pretty young, right? But you'll be very you, you'll be very young.

Coalition to actually run for office at the state, legislative level, city council level and For Congress. You're now doing it. What? You know, how'd you get here? You know, sometimes I don't even know. But really, I never had any interest in politics. I've never given a speech, I've never done a panel. This is my first one. But thank you. Is he doing all right? Let's get Michael some back up here. It's you next. You're running next. That once we, once we break this ceiling, we're going to have Michael get there. We're going have a bunch of 25 year olds running Congress that show up to Turning Point. So. But I had a job in the Trump administration. I was really excited for it. He got wrapped up in the whole Senate debacle waiting for him to get through the confirmation process. And something really important happened during then Charlie got shot. And I told my wife we were sitting on a plane, I'm going to do something. I don't know what it is. I don't know how I can help. I don't know. I'm just a guy. What can I do? And within a month, our sitting congressman decided he was going to run for governor. And I, my wife called me, she said, are you going to run? I said, no. I didn't even think about it, but I knew this was the moment that I was being called for. We have to step up, young people. It can be very scary to come in front of an audience. It can be nerve wracking. But you can do it. You can make a difference. And if you can't, start a turning point chapter. Just be unapologetically conservative. Well, this is what Charlie talked about. This is what Charlie talked about. Get involved in your community, start a chapter, go back to church. And the other thing they talked about frequently was run for office. You, everybody has to step up. Thomas Jefferson talked about this all the time. Get in, get out. It was never intended to have people go camp out down there for their entire lives. Most of the founders were your age. Four of the founding fathers were under the age of 25. Not everybody should run for office, though. That's right. Some of you should run for office. Everyone here should run for office. And I think it's important to talk about some of the issues that are affecting young people. The affordability crisis. The average first time home buyer is 40 years old. That can't happen in the United States. And I see one of the biggest issues, aside from housing facing US, the H1B visas. Not only is illegal immigration driving down wages, but we have some legal immigration doing it. What do you see, Joe, as one of the most pressing issues for young people under the age of 40. And what can you do immediately? As again, all four of you are really incredibly young voices in comparison to the rest of decrepit Congress that are. I mean, they look like zombies down there. You watch this stuff. Have you seen C Span? It's awful. Like, you watch this, these people are just walking around like they half dead. You know, they look like their eyes are all sunken in. They look awful. What, what can you do to help young people? Right. Well, the first thing is, you know, I met Charlie my first session in the legislature. I got elected at 21. I was in college at the time when I first ran for office. I and I meet Charlie September 10, 2019, if you think about that date six years ago to the date that he was assassinated. And I meet Charlie and you go to this event to get a picture with him. And he spends two hours with me afterwards talking about how young people can run for office, and then gave me seed money a year later to help start this group called Run Gen Z. And you know, fast forward to January this year. And Charlie called me up and Charlie was the senior advisor to the transition team for President Trump. A lot of people don't know that Charlie was vetting the cabinet members. Charlie was vetting senior level staff for President Donald Trump. And Charlie calls me up and says, full time. He was doing that full time, full time for the president. And he asked me to come help with it. And then I get hired as the chief of staff to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. And my first task as the chief of staff was to fire the CEO of Freddie Mac, the chairman of Freddie Mac and the chairman of Fannie Mae. That's a pretty big deal. Well, and the thing is, is because Biden put all these deep state hacks in to run these things. And the next person needs to be fired, by the way, is Jerome Powell. What do we think about that? Because the affordability crisis or the cost of living crisis, it's an issue. You know, Michael just said it. 40 years old, first time homebuyer. That's horrific. It used to be 27, 28 years old for so many years. And Biden drove that price up. Biden drove that age up. And so we have to stop that. President Trump is doing everything he can right now, but he needs fighters in Congress like us to help codify it on the congressional level. So you were the guy that was bringing down the hammer. We need you to go in and fire a whole Lot more people in government. There's a few more million more federal employees that could be fired, by the way. That's right. Than a lot more. Elon would agree with you. All right, we're going to go to the Rubble Chat. We have a question. What motivated you most to run? Let's start with. Let's start with Amanda. Yeah, that one's really easy. It actually, it happened when there was, you know, really a betrayal to President Trump. My congressman voted for impeachment, and I knew that there. That I needed to find a way to retire him. Wait, wait, wait. You're running in the district. That is Dan Newhouse, that. That he's one of the only guys left that voted to impeach President Trump. So you decided to run against him? No, what I decided to do was create a strategy to retire him. I took a couple years, but I'm on this stage now because when you know where God calls you to go, everything. And meeting Charlie, I will say I was so angry about that impeachment vote and not too shortly. I met Charlie three years ago, and it's been said a lot on this stage, but he hand picks people, and I did not understand why he was so interested in me. And when we would exchange messages and I would send him a compliment every time, he would immediately respond with thank you. And that was something that was important to me because I like responsiveness. I think that that's one thing. And you asked how we're going to change Washington, D.C. don't move there. Go home all the time from Washington State. It is a long haul to get from Washington to Washington. And I will burn the candle at Bullsens to make sure that I get home to my family, my children, and my husband, who I love. But it was all because of meeting Charlie and understanding and finding a pathway to retire our sitting congressman. It is unbelievable to me that there are still members of Congress, still in Congress who voted for the sham impeachment. Stuff like that's insane. Thank you for running and doing that. That's great. Sheriff Lamb, what motivated you to run? I'm running because of patriotism. I love America, and I know you guys too, too. And I'm sick and tired of seeing politicians go back and tell us one thing and do another when they get back to Washington D.C. our founding fathers, when they penned the Declaration of Independence, they said we were to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I am an unapologetic, authentic defender of God, family, freedom, the Constitution, and the rule of law. We need that now more than ever in Washington D.C. and to quote Al Capone, not to go to the gangster, but Al Capone says you get a lot more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. So I think we need a sheriff back there. And I need all of you to tell Washington. I need you to tell Washington. Tell him I'm coming and hell's coming with me. Man, I'm pumped up with that. We need a lot more. Everybody needs boots and a gun. All right, next right. Well, we got to preserve the American dream. But here's the thing, Tyler. You and Charlie inspired me to run for office. And I talked to Charlie in August at the investor retreat. He said we have to have a new generation of leaders in Washington, you and Charlie. The last people to see my press release before I announced on September 8, and two days later, Charlie is killed. And that brings a new meaning to this race. This race is dedicated to Charlie. We have to stand up for truth. We have to stand up for boldness. We have to stand up for this country and for God. And that's why I'm running. Thank you, everybody. God. God bless you. All right, Michael, there are two things. The first one was Charlie's death. I knew that we owed it to him to carry on his message. But the second one, my wife is pregnant. Gen Z is the first generation that's done worse off than our parents. And I will not let that little child grow up in America that is worse than the one we have now. President Trump made America great. Biden messed up it all up again and we're going to bring back the American dream. All right, so this is the admonition to everybody else here.

And we're back here live at AmFest Day 4 in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm Bo Davidson alongside Benny Ray Harmonic and Ben Berkwall. That was a great panel that we saw. Actually interviewed one of those young gentlemen yesterday. I just think it's very hopeful and inspiring as we look in the next. You know, we look to midterms, of course, we look past that. But one thing Charlie was so great at, Ben, is setting up the next generation and even the generation after that. And I think what we're seeing is really, and I think, honestly, if I could predict seeing Vice President JD Vance speak later today is ushering in that next generation. It. Yeah. So that's the question. I mean, it's a sad question. It's the question I asked the day before Charlie was assassinated, who's the bench for the next White House? And his name came up. We were talking, I was talking about cameraman David Thompson, and it was like, yeah, it's going to be Charlie someday. But, yeah, you look at Vance, I look at Hegset, I think about, you know, Marco, I mean, but he's good now, but, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I just think. I think Vance has something really special. And there's no doubt the Hillbilly Elegy, you know all about his story. He is the literal definition of the American dream. And I think he is able to connect with voters and connect with Americans in a way that politicians can't. If you haven't seen Hillbilly Elegy, of course, he wrote the book first, but the movie really is exquisite. I think that the audiobook of him reading it is very good, too. Glenn Close was exceptional in it, but it just tells his amazing does personally is he connects with the common man. So I think that's just what he does. And I think that's why he's partially the next generation. We want to take you now to Steve Bannon's speech that he gave two days ago on Friday, which was a fiery, fiery speech. Yeah, he threw some big bombs. Let's take a look at that speech from Friday right now. Thank you. Thank you. We are at war. You know how we know this? You just heard Hawkins up Here a few minutes ago. Right. What did she say at the very moment Charlie Kirk was assassinated? What? The University of Montana. They laughed in her face, right? Laughed in her face. And some guy goes, oh, we're at war. Charlie Kirk knew we're war. Every time I've spoken at, at any event of Turning Point, I always start with that because Charlie Kirk knew one thing. He knew we're at war and he knew we were going to be victorious if we didn't quit. What I mean by that? Let's go back. Do you understand? For the last 10 years, there have been eight national elections, either primaries, off year elections where Congress is voted on for the whole nation, or presidential elections. We have won seven of those eight. This is why they hated, this is why they hated Charlie Kirk. It wasn't Charlie Kirk philosophy or even his debates. Charlie Kirk was a tough, tough person that built a machine that you guys are dedicated to that delivered victories. Let's be specific, go back to 2015. President Trump, 15, 16, wins the primary against all odds. Then in 16, he wins a come from behind, you know, once in a lifetime victory against Hillary Clinton. Listen, we lost the 18 midterms because people were leaning on their rakes. Leaning on their rakes. And we lost, I don't know, 35 or 40 House seats. And Nancy Pelosi told us exactly what she was going to do. She impeached Trump and almost brought it all down. President Trump came back, won the primary, right? Very easily. Nobody really ran against him. I don't think anybody ran against him. 2020. We won the 20, 2020 election. Is there any, is there any dispute on that? If you don't believe that, you don't believe a foundational element of the MAGA movement. We won 2020, and to show you how we won it, we picked up 14 house seats that night. 14 house seats. Then President Trump went into the wilderness. This is when Charlie Kirk really, I think, stepped up the most. President Trump was sent to Mar a Lago. They never thought he was coming back. The Republican Party never thought he was coming back. And what happened? President Trump grinded it out. In fact, he told us on this stage last year right here, the first time he told anybody, when Charlie had him come out here and speak, what did he say? He said I had to run again because I could not let them steal an election because they're stealing the country. And we sit and we see what Biden did. Then we win the midterms in 22. We picked up about 11 seats, eight net, and took the House of Representatives. There was supposed to be more, but we got control of the House and then. And really the greatest come from behind ever. President Trump Turning point. Put him on his shoulder, put him on their shoulders. We won the greatest election in the history of the country. In 10 years. In 10 years, a decade. You've been beaten once when we leaned on our shovels. Charlie Kirk understood one thing. We are at war. It's a political war. It's a cold civil war. We don't want it to turn hot. We don't need it to turn hot. If we accomplish what we're supposed to accomplish and we have won seven of eight national elections, the American people are with us. As long as we get things done, as long as we accomplish the punch list that Rob Snyder talked about when he walked down this stage. That's what's incumbent upon us and that's what the Republican establishment to date because you can already see what they're doing and trying to block President Trump. You see this in Indianapolis. You see this in the redistricting. The Republican establishment think that President Trump's just a passing storm and that he's just going to fade away. And what they're going to try to do is co opt co op Turning point because Charlie has built it into a massive political operation that cannot be beat. And the left knows that. It's one of the reasons. Yes, I realize we haven't gone to trial yet. We don't know all the information. It looks like you know, at least the information we have out.

This guy. Maybe not, maybe not. An organization in back of it. We don't know that yet because the evidence hasn't been put out. But Charlie Kirk is dead. Think about that. The individual that's probably, I think at his age, the greatest individual this country's produced politically, culturally, since the revolution. Remember all of the revolution with 30 Charlie Kirk's hell, he's 31 years old. He's been doing this since he was 18, 17 or 18. But Charlie Kirk was a man of action. And here's I want to make sure that we get something straight tonight. We have a partners discussion and I want to say up front, if I hurt some feelings here, you can come and talk to me afterwards. This whole thing that's gone on the last couple days, some of the comments tonight, this is not about this specific incident is not about freedom of speech or platforming or de platforming. They're all talking about that. And that's, you know, people are saying hurtful things to each other. Tucker said the quiet part out loud. This is a proxy on 28. Now, I think it's way too early to be thinking about 28, but he's right about one thing. This is a proxy on an issue that's not freedom of speech and not are you going to get platformed to deplatformed. This is about a situation that Charlie Kirk was probably one of the most, if not the most important person in doing, in accomplishing and that is this concept of what I would call Greater Israel and Israel first. You can't get a better defender of Israel than Charlie Kirk. You can't get a better defender of Israel than Steve Bannon at Breitbart Adamant couldn't have a two state solution in the White House. I'm the one that pushed initially hard to move the embassy to Jerusalem. At war room. Ask all the war room people that are here. Ask all the posse. We always talk about it and we're one state, not a two state. But that's about Israel. It's not about Greater Israel. It's not about Israel. First, Charlie Kirk had some foundational beliefs. Those foundational beliefs are number one, he's a populist nationalist. America makes its own decisions for America. And as a populist, the American people are the people that make Those decisions. Now, Benji Shapiro sat up here last night and he was all, you know, I'm going to, you know, it's all about the truth, Ben. I've known you a long time, brother. You can't handle the truth. Let's face it. Ben Shapiro is the farthest thing from maga. Let's be blunt. He is a hardcore Never Trumper. He's a hardcore Never Trumper. In the spring of 16, he tried to upend Breitbart. He walked off the job, made a big deal about some incident in Mar a Lago with Corey Lewandowski. He tried to turn it to Ted Cruz from Donald Trump because he hated Donald Trump. In the general election, he barely supported Donald Trump. The first sign of when President Trump gets sent back to Mar a Lago. The very first individual that jumped on the Ron DeSantis train, the Israel first train, was Ben Shapiro. And those are the darkest days we had in 21 and 22, you guys were there. He's consistently been against Trump. And now the President Trump doesn't back the Greater Israel Project. What is Greater Israel? It's not about Israel itself. It's about an expansionist Israel, an imperial Israel that Netanyahu and that crowd have thought up. And the Israel first crowd is Ben Shapiro, Tel Aviv, Mark Levin and many others that want to put that ahead of America's interests. Charlie Kirk fought that. You know where Charlie Kirk fought it? In the White House. I know because I was there. When I went back, Charlie Kirk was working with Sergio Gore, certain people around the Vice President to make sure that we didn't get sucked, sucked into a land war, a decapitation of the Iranian elites that would lead to a massive civil war that American troops would get sucked into. Because that was Netanyahu's plan from the beginning. And we know that the Times of Israel is published that there was no urgency to go after the nuclear weapons. We know the fact they couldn't finish what they started. We know for a fact, we know for a fact that they had. They needed American Aegis Thaad missiles, Patriots to defend themselves on day 10 of the war. They were losing and they didn't have the offensive capability. And I don't mean the B2s coming in and taking out the caves. They relied upon our 1970s technology of cruise missiles fired from submarines in the North Arabian Sea to take out the above ground. We had to bring that war to inclusion. And President Trump and his brilliance said, we'll do that and we'll call it the 12 Day War. And it's over now for the Israel first crowd. They are the ones that are destroying Israel today in Miami. Who's negotiating with Witkoff? It's the Turks, it's Qatar, it's the Egyptians because Qatar is going to Underwrite Gaza and 2 million Palestinians are going to stay there and the Turks are providing on Egyptian soil called Gaza or on Israel soil called Gaza is going to provide the military control mechanism over UAE troops, Saudi troops and Egyptian troops. That's a two state solution that has been provided because the efforts of the Israel first crowd and Charlie Kirk had one simple thing that he thought about who controls America and who makes decisions for the United States of America. And Charlie Kirk worked overtime because behind the scenes he was a player. Not just helping Sergio get all types of great people in there and vet those people, but actually talking about policy. And part of that policy was no Season 2 of unrivaled basketball is here and the talent is unreal. Paige Becker's Nafiza Khalil, Kelsey Plumb, Brianna Stewart and more are back to redefine the game.

Absolutely. Believe what I believe. The Middle east is a sideshow and Israel's a sideshow to a sideshow. Now, voices out there that support Israel, Israel like Laura Loomer and Rabbi Waliki and others are coming forward and saying, look, maybe Bannon and these guys are right. We don't want to take any more American money. We don't have any more American control. We want to be out, go out and do what we want to do when we, the Israelis, feel they have to do it. I support that 100%. Israel needs its sovereignty. Israel needs to be independent. If Israel wants to take on Syria, go for it. If Israel wants to go into Lebanon Go. Go for it. But not drag the United States of America into another endless war. Ask Meghan Kelly when she comes over here. Look, Breitbart. Shapiro called Breitbart Trump Pravda. When he left. He called it Trump Pravda. And he was kind of right. We had to be. There was no other news site that was supporting President Trump when poor Megyn Kelly came out in that first debate and made what looks like now some innocuous questions right about Trump's Facebook page or his Twitter feed about Rosie o'. Donnell. And others have Jack Bosovic ask her how it turned out. We unleashed the dogs. We were maniacs. Why? President Trump had no backing, had no backing at Fox, had no backing of the national review and his 16. That would have driven him out of the race. So we had to be there. But Ben Shapiro is like a cancer. And that cancer spreads. It's a cancer and it metastasizes. All right, guys, if you want to see the end of that speech. Steve Bannon, barn burner there from Savage. Saturday night, Friday night, all the days have mixed together, but we got another barn burner, one of my favorites live right now, the very own border czar, Tom Holman up on stage. God bless ice, God bless border patrol. Here's tomorrow. All right. Phoenix, Arizona. How the hell you doing? Hey, look, let me start off by this. My boss is the greatest president in the history of this nation. Donald Trump. I love that guy. Look, let's talk about the most successful president in the history of this nation when it comes to border security, immigration enforcement. He promised American people he was secure at a border. And right now, today, as I'm standing here, we have the most secure border in the history of this country. I just returned. I was on the California border. I was on the Arizona border. I was on the Texas border. Just a few days ago, I spent three days on the surveillance at northern border. By plane, by boat, by four wheel drive. Three days on the border. I didn't see one illegal alien. None. I started in the border patrol in 1984. I've been around a long time. I'm an old guy, but I've never seen that. So it amazed me. Even though I knew what the success level was. I just sat back with the CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. I said, can you believe this shit? Not one illegal ammo, not one most secure board in the history of the nation. President Trump made three promises to the American people when it comes to immigration. Immigration. He was secured a border. He'd have a historic Deportation operation and he find kids that were smuggled into the country under Joe Biden and they forgot about, they lost track of. So we got the most secure board in the history of the nation. 90. There's a 95% decrease in illegal immigration. What does that mean? It means less women are being sexually assaulted making that journey. Less children are dying. Less fentanyl is getting into the country, killing Americans. Less known suspected terrorists are coming to the country. You know who's pissed off? The criminal cartels. Criminal cartels of Mexico because they're going broke. President Trump is saving thousands of lives every month when 90, 95% less people come in. How many women ain't being raped? How many children aren't dying? How many pounds of fentanyl? It's a simple question. They want to say the Trump minute states is inhumane. No, let me tell you what's inhumane. Inhumane is a quarter million people dying of fentanyl came across an open border. Inhumane is over 4,000 aliens dying, making that journey inhumane. There's a record number, historic number of sex trafficking across that southern border. That's inhumane. President Trump is saving thousands of lives every month. Sex trafficking is way down. Smuggling is non existent. American lives are being saved every day. Now let's talk about promise number two, that he kept the biggest deportation operation in the history of this nation. In less than a year since President Trump's been in the Oval Office office, we'll end the year about 650,000 deportation, which blows any record out of the water. So he's already, he's already beat every record there when it comes to deportation. But we got nearly two men that left on their own because they knew ICE was out there looking for him. They decided to leave on their own. So record number of removals. Well, get this. While Pam Bondi is suing the department of the same sanctuary cities, once we beat the sanctuary cities, once we bring all 10,000 new agents on the ground, you ain't seen nothing.

For those politicians, mayors, governors, members of Congress who compare ICE to the Nazis and to the Gestapo. You're disgusting. Threats against ICE officers up like 8,000%. Actual assaults are up like 1,400%. I want to remind everybody, the men and women of ice, the men and women of border Patrol, they're American patriots. They don't hang their heart on the hook when they go to work. They're enforcing laws. Members of Congress, you don't like it, change the law. If they're a racist for, for enforcing law, well, that. What's that make you? You wrote the law, so stop the crap. Support the men and women eyes because if you don't, if the hater, if the hateful rhetoric continues, going to be more blood. I can't wait till next year. It's going to be incredible. Two promises made, two promises kept. He promised a massive deportation operation. You got it. And we're continuing. Third, third promise. A half a million children were smuggled into the country across that open border. And Joe Biden, A half a million. They released them to unvetted sponsors. They lost track of about 300,000 kids. They didn't know where they were. They weren't looking for them. They didn't care. President Trump made a promise. We're going to do everything to find these kids. Thanks to the work of the FBI, DHS and Homeland HHS, I'm proud to say we've already located 129,000 of these missing kids. 129,000 children that Alasima administration wasn't even looking for. Look out. And I'll be clear. Some of these children were safe with family, just hiding out. But many of these children were in sex trafficking, being sold to the sex trade. Many were in forced labor. God bless President Trump. He saved thousands of children. President Trump promised, and I'm going to keep that promise. We're going to run down every single lead of every single child. And when we're done with all those leads, we're going to do it again. And we're going to do it again. And we're going to do it again. But here's the honest truth. Out of those three promises, I knew the children would be the hardest because it's hard to find them. We can find you. You got credit cards, you own a home, you got a car, you pay utility bills. You have a digital footprint. Children don't have that digital footprint. So we had to count on the digital footprint of the sponsors. Many sponsors weren't fingerprinted. Many of the address wasn't even verified. So when agents from the FBI and ICE go out there looking for them, many times these addresses are parking lots, supermarkets. But because of their dedication, because of their love for this president, because of their sacrifices they've made to save these children, because I know a lot of them are living a life of hell every day, at least 14 of these kids already died. Despite all these obstacles, despite the Democratic politicians, despite the hate for them, to find 129,000 already is remarkable. I started as a board of retail agent in 1984. I've come out of retirement twice for this president. Thank you for doing that. Because my wife's still pissed off. I came back because I saw the traps. I woke up every day the last four years pissed off off because I knew how many children died last night, how many women got sexually assaulted, how many Americans died last night from fentanyl. I knew when President Trump got back in Oval Office, he was secured abort. And by doing so, save American lives. And not only that, save alien life and not only that, you got to remember a strong border means strong national security. We have to know who's coming and who's going out, all that thing. Well, let me end with this. This, my time is up, but let me end with this. To the men and women of ice. To the men and women of the United States Border Patrol, I love each and every one of you. I will have your six until the day I die. Season two of unrivaled basketball is here and the talent is unreal.

The opportunity is in front of us all to unleash the great next era of our country. The things that we are fighting for, the ideals that we, that we stand for, are for the future of this great nation. America will take its place again as the shining city on the hill, as the leader of the world, as the number one nation, as the great experiment. America is going to be in the golden age and it will do tremendous thing for the people that live here. Turning Point. It is good to be back with you again. You know, I got in last night, I was watching some of the clips, they told me you guys were rowdy out here in Phoenix, Arizona. And as I step out, I see it for myself. Today in 2025, as we turn the calendar into 2026, the heartbeat of the conservative movement is here at Turning Point, usa. It's, it's interesting to be back. I never thought I would be back under these circumstances. Our movement has really been defined by two fighters. You ever see those memes choose your fighter? Everybody's seen those, right? Our movement has been defined by two fighters. The first is the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump. He is a FAFO fighter. That's him. That's who he is. And God bless him, that's what our movement needs. But the other fighter that has defined our movement is Charlie Kirk. I remember after his assassination, like everybody else, I'm trying to figure out how to get my mind in order, how to get my emotions in order. And what came to my mind and what came to my spirit. Spirit was the verse that defined the other fighter of our movement, Charlie Kirk. And that's found in 2nd Timothy 1:7. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self discipline. You see, Charlie was a fighter who wore the armor of God. He was a fighter that tried to embrace those even when they disagreed with him, even when they vehemently disagreed with him, when they disrespected him, he still tried to find Some scintilla of a common ground to reach those hearts, to reach those minds. In part, that is what has built Turning Point usa Because the young people in this room, from whatever high school you come from, whatever college you attend, the conservative movement was not speaking to you until Charlie Kirk came along. You see, I find we're in this. In this moment in time where now everybody's trying to figure out, well, who's really conservative? Well, who's really a fighter? Who's really going to stand on principle? Who's going to lead the movement into the future. And I think the real answer is found in what do we believe? What do we stand for? Do we stand for Western civilization? Do we stand for Judeo Christian values? Do we stand for free market capitalism, protecting life, strong borders, legal immigration based around assimilation and Americans, not foreign nations, A limited federal government that is. That is controlled by the confines of the United States Constitution. The nuclear family protecting puberty. Boys are meant to be men, girls are meant to be women. And together, when they find each other, they create a family. And that family unit is the very nucleus of a society that respects individuals, that allows you to amass goods, that protects your freedom of speech, that lets you worship your God. In the very essence, the nuclear family, man and women together, raising kids, is what continues the great experiment that is the United States of America. But I find in this moment we're trying to figure out, well, who's going to be the next. That's the wrong question. What comes next is, what are we going to stand on? What are we going to believe in? And here's the broader question. How are we going to define the boundaries of the movement? You see, I'm very clear on this. I don't have a spirit of fear and timidity. I don't. I believe in standing firm on what you believe in. You go to any quarter to debate it. If someone disagrees with you, fine, so what? But if you're gonna be in this movement long term, you gotta have a spirit of power. You gotta be willing to go to places they don't want to hear from you. You got to be willing to stand for the ideals that make America great. You know, like law and order, like standing behind our police.

I know on social media, the cool thing now is to. What are they with it? I'm 47, so, you know, I'm a little older now. Ratioing. That's the thing. I ratioed you. That's the new. That's the new metric of having a spirit of power. No, it's the metric. Metric of being an. That's what it is. What? As a movement, we are now going to cut each other down so somebody looks taller than the next person. Ladies and gentlemen, Turning Point usa. That is how we lose. That is not how we win. And I believe that we have to have a spirit of, yes, power, but also a spirit of love. Love, because there are young people in the United States who will never go to a Turning Point event. But you have to find them where they are and try to figure out how to communicate them without degrading them. That is the future of convincing hearts and minds to choose the conservative path to choose Western civilization in America. The last piece is having a spirit of self control. If you really think that coping and seething is the path to victory, you're fooling yourselves. I've been in the conservative movement for 15 years. Here's what I know. The path to victory is a movement united, based around core principles that knocks doors that go, speaks to voters, that registers them to vote and get gets them out to the polls. That's victory. Victory is finding leaders who stand by these principles. And do you agree with them every single time? No. But you agree with them far more than we will ever agree with the radical democratic left. Because democratic socialism is the thing that will destroy America. Radical Sharia. Radical Sharia is the thing that will destroy America. Stealing puberty from young people is the thing that will destroy America. And so what I choose to do now is I choose to build a movement and Be a part of a movement that stands on principle, that stands on strength, that loves the people in the movement, even sometimes when they piss you off, but has a spirit of self discipline. Because what I know is you can't form a winning unit if you can't stay focused on the mission at hand. Two years ago, Turning Point, the conservative movement, we were all united because we were witnessing in real time democratic socialism crossing the entire United States of America. And as a movement, we stood firm, we stood tough and we said, hell no. And Donald Trump is now President of the United States. But look, the job's not done. There are elections next year. And you know what? We have to go back into the well, we got to find that reservoir. We got to know what we stand for and what we believe in and whether it's here in Arizona with Andy Biggs, if it's Wisconsin with Tom Tiffany, members of Congress up and down the list, state legislators, state senators, city councilmen, we have to continue to replenish our ranks and we only do that when we work together. For you young people in the future, let me give you some notes from your future. It's easy to tear somebody down. It's much harder to build somebody up. And the only way that you build a consistent movement is by building each other up around principles, principles and ideas. That's the only way. And I'm here to communicate you one last thing. If we stand together, if we work together, if we fight together, based upon the Constitution, based upon our declaration, based upon the principles of liberty, of liberty, economic, religious, individual, there will be no stopping our conservative movement. Be the fighter that we need. Be the fighter that's going to make America last for another 250 years. This is what's in front of us. Turning Point. I'm going to stand with you every step of the way. Will you stand with me? Will you fight with me? God bless you. Turn A point Merry Christmas everybody and God bless America. We're live here in Phoenix at M Fest 2025. You just saw the great Congressman Byron Donald speak. I believe he's going to be stopping by here in just a moment. So you won't want to miss that because we will have a one on one chat with him. Ben Benny, it's been an amazing lineup so far. We've got more, more great guests to come. Donald Trump Jr. Is going to be coming out. Erica Kirk, Vice President, J.D. vance and Special Guest. We don't know who special guest is yet. Should we make some bets? Should we make some bets, folks? I'm not a gambler. I have no idea. I'm saying yay. I'm saying Kanye. That's what I think. I think. I think that's. I think who. And I think it's. I'm gonna say, I think it's Nicki Minaj. I think it's Nicki Minaj that's just going to make that prediction. Now let's go back to the stage right now with Congressman Andy Biggs. America is back and we are on our way to once again being the shining city on the hill. We are the beacon of freedom and hope, and you are the generation called for this time. You are the generation now. This is our moment. Please welcome the Congressman Andy Fins. Hello, hello, welcome and best. Welcome to Phoenix. Welcome to the home of Turning Point usa. Welcome to this great, beautiful state. We're glad to have you here. I'm so excited to be with you this morning. I want to tell you, this is also the home of our great friend Charlie Kirk and his beautiful wife Erica. God bless Erica and her beautiful children. And during this Christmas season and at this AM fest, I can't help but think of my friend, your friend Charlie, who built this amazing organization. Look at you. Look how strong you are. Look how strong you are. Look at that legacy. Look at the movement. Look at the energy. This is the future of American politics right here. Charlie saw the moment, he saw it in America, that moment in America, and he seized it and he became the prime mover of a movement that has changed the world. And I'm just going to give you a little aside. I've introduced a resolution in Congress with my friend Anna Paulina Luna to put a. To put a statue of Charlie Kirk in the United States House of Representatives. I tell you, tell you what we want. The speaker of the House, Mike Johnson is going to be here a little later this morning. Morning. And when Mike gets up here, I want you to let him know how much you want to see that. That statue in the House of Representatives. He needs to hear your voice. As I was thinking about Charlie and I was thinking of some things that he said that I think were really powerful. I want to share some of them with you. God made us in his image. We are image bearers of the divine. Therefore, every single life, born and unborn must be protected, regardless of how big that life is. Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said, I want a country that cares more about our border than a foreign country's border. I want a country that makes stuff that is critical to our national sovereignty. I want to see Church attendance go up. I want to see fewer kids addicted to pornography and I want to see more people outside walking, running, working. So we should have a day of rest or honor the Sabbath. And he said we need people on the front lines fighting for freedom. Fight for what is true. That's why you're here and that's why I'm here. We're fighting for freedom and we're fighting for what is true. That is what will change the world and that is what will preserve this nation and bring freedom and goodness throughout the world. Thank you, Charlie Kirk. I believe that without tpusa, TP action Charlie and his amazing team, we would likely have seen a real darkness fall over this country. We would have likely seen a second term of the disastrous cataclysmic Joe Biden regime. But Charlie Tyler Boyer and the TP team turned Arizona from a Team Biden problem to the largest Trump margin of victory of all battleground states. 160,000 vote victory over. Okay, I'm trying to be charitable because it is Sunday. Kamala Harris. I won't say all I'm thinking about Kamala, but 160,000 vote victory. 5 percentage points. The biggest margin of all battleground states. But you know, we still have work to do in Arizona. Our current governor wants to californicate our beautiful state. That's why I'm running for governor. And I, I am pleased to say that I'm the only person running for governor. Governor in Arizona who has been endorsed by President Trump. Charlie and Erica Kirk and the great TPUSA team. I thank you, Erica. It's time to restore the American dream in Arizona by ushering in Arizona's golden age. And I just want to reiterate what the great Erica Kirk said the other day. Go bigs or go home. In this Christmas season, though, I think we need to do one other thing to kind of celebrate the Christmas season. It's a little bit irreverent. I hope you'll forgive me, but I've. I've kind of been putting together a list. This. I'm. I'm not including everything, but it's a short list of the politically naughty and nice. So let's think about who's been nice and who's been naughty. Joe Biden. Joe Biden gave us Alejandro Mayorkas who opened the border allowing more than 20 million illegal aliens into America, including hardened criminals and anti American terrorists. The Dems gave us an open border supporter. And Jerry Nelson Adler, for Pete sakes. AOC Chicago. Mayor Johnson. Sanctuary state California. Now that's naughty. That's naughty. President Donald J. Trump gave us my good friend whom you just heard from, Tom Homan. Tom closed the border time enforced the the law. Republicans back our great CBP and ICE agents who are taking the border back and deporting dangerous illegal aliens. That's nice. That's nice. In fact, that should be on the back of Ice's coat. Nice. Democrats gave us violent protests against ICE operations. They gave us crazed congressmen like MacGyver. Remember her leading a protest into a federal detention facility. She assaults an ICE officer. Shame on her. She's naughty. President Trump gave us Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant and policies that have reduced Biden's outrageously high inflation. That. That's nice. That's nice. Democrats responded by giving us Mandani, the communist Islamist mayor for, for New York. Democrats gave us Jasmine Crockett. How naughty is that? That's muy malo. Democrats gave us DEI policies. Is that naughty? They also gave us women in, excuse me, men in women's sports. That's particularly naughty. That's really bad. They gave us trans grooming of children. That's. That's naughty stuff right there. There's not enough coal in the world for them. President Trump's leading the Maha movement with our good friend Robert Kennedy Jr. And TP USA. That's nice. That's nice. All right. But you know what Democrats did? They insist that food stamps can be used for soda pops. Junk food. That's naughty. That's naughty. You remember during the COVID fiasco, Democrats gave us who? Anthony Fauci. They shut, they shut America down. Anthony Fauci lied about everything from ineffective face masks to artificial six foot circles of safety. He shut down churches, schools, businesses. That's really naughty. That's really bad. That's criminal. President Trump instead has given us one of the great outspoken truth tellers of that era, Dr. J. Bhattacharya, to clean up the. This horrible, horrible Fauci mess. And that's really nice. Democrats and Joe Biden's bureaucrats attacked American business with onerous nonsensical interpretations of laws and rules. They've tried to scuttle our economy. That's how bad these guys are. But President Trump gave us Lee Zelda, EPA director, who's streamlining outdated and politically biased rules, and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who's fast tracking new sources of energy. So nice. So nice. Joe Biden gave us Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, who, who proceeded to weaponize every asset in the federal police arsenal against conservatives against J6ers, against Catholics, against school boards, attendees against President Trump and any of his followers. Followers they surveilled. They watched over all kinds of organizations, including this one. They took members of Congress phones. They weaponized everything. That's not just naughty friends. That's criminal. That's criminal. President Trump's team been trying to clean out the riffraff and the mess that was left behind. They're trying to prevent everybody who tried to prevent investigation, everybody's trying to prevent prosecution of these people. They're trying to clean them out. And that's nice, because I'm hoping for accountability for the bad guys. That would be very, very nice. Just one, one would deter everybody else. I'd go on, but I'd have to emphasize things that have improved so much under President Trump, and that's really nice. But here we are celebrating the life of our friend Charlie Kirk and the greatest nation in history, America, the United States of America. Are you a proud American? I love this country. Republicans, I call upon us. We have to win the midterms. We have to win the midterms. Why is that? The Democrat members of the House have already drafted their articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. They already have their investigations. They want to do. They want to kill the progress we're making. They can scuttle everything in our movement. They can't help themselves. They're among the naughtiest people on the planet, whereas you are hands down the nicest. The nicest people. And I know that, you know, as I do, that victory is imminent if we work our tails off, as if everything depends upon you and me. But we put all of our reliance and trust in God. After we've worked our tail our fingers to the bone, we've got to stand tall. Now's the time not to get weary or weak or tired. Although we'll say this, go ahead and take a couple hours off over Christmas, Get yourself feeling a little bit rejuvenated, just a little bit, because the other side never stops. They relentlessly pursue their evil destination, But they have to face something. Democrats are more unpopular than ever. They want power, but we're going to meet that challenge. We will work tirelessly and smartly and effectively, just like TPUSA did in the last election cycle. We're going to do it again this cycle, and we're going to keep Republicans in control of the House, the Senate, and the federal government. And when we do that, this will actually accelerate our progress. Our side is on the good side. Our side is the one wearing white hats. Now, that's. This is you're in Arizona. You're in the cowboy country. White hat is what the good guys wear. Just so you know that ours is the side of freedom, the side of the American dream. So get your rest, get together. We're going to trust in God. And in this season, we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. I wish all of you a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, and may God's fondest blessings rest on the eternal progression of this United States, States of America. God bless you all. Let's do this.

“...If someone disagrees with you, fine, so what? But if you’re going to be in this movement long term, you got to have a spirit of power.” (Donalds, 2:36:48)
