Turning Point USA Host / Conservative Commentator (79:16)
It sounds tough, but we deserve it for the future, for the next generation, for all of you who are going to take on the mantle and lead this country to continued greatness. Now we're getting rid of the nonsense and it's going to be great. The other big issue that Charlie and I fought so hard for was the Maha movement. Charlie, myself, Susie Wiles, a small cadre of people were the guys that brokered that deal. So we stop allowing Big Pharma to put profits over actual health to stop the insanity of jacking up our children with thousands of vaccines they don't need. Profits don't matter. More than health. And when you do need actual health, they're fighting to make sure that Americans pay less than Europe. None of this nonsense where you buy a drug for $1,000 in Europe, American drugs are being sold for pennies on the dollar. That doesn't work. And they ended that with the most favored nation's executive order just a couple of days ago. And the best, one of the ones I've been fighting since like 2015, I didn't realize it would even turn into a thing because it was always so insane to me, the transgender issue. There's going to be no more castrating our children for big pharma and medical profit. That bullshit ends. Federal funding is being cut off for sex change operations for minors. I never understood it. I never understood, say, wait, wait, wait. So a three year old can decide to permanently mutilate their body, be put on toxic drugs for the rest of their Life, but a 25 year old has no idea what they're doing when they're signing for their student loans? The most elite in America, the academically inclined, somehow don't seem that elite. When they need a plumber to pay their student loans, that ends too. And the number one issue again, listen. Outside of God, family, and country, for Charlie, something he fought and something he died for was free speech. Free speech is alive and well in 2025. Charlie rejected the notion of being canceled for what you thought for having that dialogue. Charlie on it every day. He opened up one of the largest platforms in the world to those who despised him most. He allowed them to speak. He had that dialogue. They killed him for it. They killed him for it. Not because he was so radical, but because he was so effective. When people were able to hear both sides of an argument. Wow. It's amazing what happens. For years we fought the censorship complex. We fought the mainstream media. People couldn't even get basic truth out there. What binds us together, what matters more than the disagreement, is the ability to have that discourse. The real enemy. It's not Steve Bannon or Tucker Carlson or Ben Shapiro. It's the radical left that murdered Charlie and celebrated it on a daily basis. Free speech is under attack everywhere in Europe, they're putting people in jail for basic truth. One of your family members was raped by a roving gang of migrant thugs and you said they shouldn't even be here. You get thrown in jail, the rapists get an apology and get let off. Think about that. That's happening right now in the uk. Do not let that happen to America. We are the last stand for common sense, for free speech, for truth and for decency. Do not squander that. We have to live that freedom every day. America, guys, is not just an idea. Washington loves the saying, you know, the issue is beyond right and left. No, it's not. That's a lie. We are in a real argument about what America is, what it stands for, whether it survives for our children and our grandchildren after them. America is not just an idea. It's a place with borders, with land, with history and battlefields, with patriots and incredible people who want to see that perpetuate itself. They want to live that dream. The belief that it's just an idea and it doesn't matter. That's how you lose a country. And that's been this other side's intention for far too long. There is no backup to America, guys. You are it. You are that last line of defense. Patience, discipline, long term victory. These days, people want, they want instant results. Remember the day, the day after my father was inaugurated, on January 20, he saw the left, they ran with their sample. The price of eggs hasn't gone down. I'm sitting there like, wait a minute, like, like it's been like 14 hours. Of course that then happened. Inflation hasn't gone down yet. It's been a week. Well, guys, it's hard to undo four years of idiocy. Inflation's under control. But when you have compound interest on double digit inflation for four years, those prices are still too high. We have to work on that. But it doesn't happen over overnight. It takes a plan, it takes a process. We're building something that lasts. We have to be in that together through common sense, long term approach. You guys are Charlie's legacy. You're also the biggest beneficiaries of his movement, of his ideas. You guys are going to be doing this when I'm probably long gone. That matters. Don't squander that opportunity. Keep that wave going for the kids who haven't even been born yet. For the children that you're going to all have that, hopefully you're mostly too young. I'm looking around. It's pretty young to have that going. That's why I got into this. When Charlie and I met back in 15 and 16, we're spending all this time together. I had no idea. I was a real estate developer from New York. We built buildings. But when I saw what the other side was willing to do, how they were so glib about just destroying our country, he said, we have to fight, we have to engage. This isn't just a conference, guys. It's a movement. Charlie built this for you. And as I said in my eulogy chair eulogy to Charlie. We are now all Charlie. There's not one person, There's not one person that's going to replace Charlie Kirk. But if each one of us take a fraction of what he was able to do, a fraction of his energy, his passion, his intelligence, and we come together, the movement that he wanted to achieve is totally doable. Guys, join a Turning Point chapter. If your school has one, get involved. If it doesn't, start one. Bring five friends. Build more. That's how we win. Become unafraid. And if you're in this room, you've already taken those steps. You've done that. But you need to open the door for others. You need to make it okay for them to take that step. Get out there. Do it on college campuses, in classrooms, in conversations. Don't ever, ever give up. We have to stay involved. We have to stay in the game. Midterms are coming around the corner and make no mistake, the Democrat Party wants to do whatever they possibly can to shut this movement down. Not just the Democrats, the Rhinos. You see the manufactured attacks on jd, myself, my father, anyone who understands that this isn't the Republican Party anymore. It's the America first party. It's the Make America Great Again party. And we are not going back. The same. I love it guys. By the way, if someone wasn't chanting.
