I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point usa. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives. And we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Thank you, everybody. It's great to be here in Georgia. And we are here for a reason, for two reasons, actually. The first reason is we're trying to figure out what on earth is going on in the state of Georgia. Let me just say, and I could tell you that we're in the middle of a two front war right now. We really are. And what has been happening in this state the last couple weeks is not, is not in any form or fashion the way an election should operate in this country. When it takes weeks to count ballots, when you have ballots coming in from every single direction, there's something wrong here. For example, in 2016, there were 248,000 mail in ballots in the state of Georgia. This time, 1.3 million. What assurances were we given from the secretary of state's office, Raffensperger, or from the governor's office, Kemp, that they were prepared for, for 1.3 million mail in ballots. I am convinced, based on data and research that so many amazing people have done, Matt Brainard and other people, that the margin of victory, victory that is in this state, or the deficit that the president currently has very well could be erased if there was a serious voter fraud investigation. In this, You look at over 15,000 people just from an independent study that goes to show just an initial analysis of people that are no longer living in the state of Georgia. Who here got a ballot sent to you that you did not request. Quite a lot of hands that you did not request. Now, all of You, I would imagine, did the right thing with your ballot, right? Destroyed it. Or you, when you went to go vote, you submitted it. So that was probably 50 or 60 hands out of this whole room. I want you to imagine what you would do if you actually thought Benito Mussolini was in the White House and you got an extra chance to get rid of him. No joke. What if you were in a set of circumstances where you were convinced, because of the mainstream media, that the president was actually as awful as a 1930s dictator? What would you do if you got an extra ballot? I know what I would do. I would fill it out. I would cheat to get rid of Benito Mussolini because he was evil. Now, of course, we know we don't have anything close to that in this country, but there are millions of people who think we actually do because that's what they teach in our schools. That's what they say on social media. That's what they say on popular media. So we're supposed to believe just in this room, 50 or 60 people got ballots. You did not request anyone get multiple ballots sent to your home in the back here. Multiple ballots. Yeah. This is a Republican state. I thought, oh, our elections are perfectly fine. Here is what we were told. So people raised their hands here in Georgia. They got multiple ballots. And imagine if all of a sudden you get multiple ballots and you say what they have told us they believe the last couple years, Defeat him at all costs. They told us this. They tried impeachment. They tried spying on him. They tried everything. Burning, looting in the streets. So we're supposed to believe when the ultimate prize of our government is up for grabs, to be in charge of the greatest military of the greatest country in the history of the world, our $4 trillion government governing 330 million people, that everyone acts perfectly when ballots are being sent all across the country that you did not even request. So here's what happened. Brian Kemp might have won in 2018 the battle, but Stacey Abrams won the war. She went and raised tens of millions of dollars from all the film industry allies that are here in this state. And by the way, whoever thought it was a good idea to give tax credits to Hollywood in this state should leave politics permanently. It's one of the dumbest things ever done. Because I'm going around. I'm going around this state and I'm seeing signs and banners. I feel like I'm in Beverly Hills when I'm in Buckhead, and I kind of am. You got Will Ferrell, you got all these guys that spend time here and they get extra homes here. And with it, their money, their contributions, their values, their energy, and their investment. So Stacey Abrams goes and raises tens of millions of dollars from these people, and Brian Kemp becomes governor. She never concedes. And then under a guise of not wanting to. Of wanting to continue a false narrative of voter suppression, she goes and raised these tens of millions of dollars, gets a Washington, D.C. law firm, and comes into the state and starts bullying Republicans. You know what you do to a bully? You stand up to bullies. Your Republicans in this state did not stand up to Stacey Abrams. So they relaxed the signature requirements. In this state, where it used to take an 80% of a signature verification went down to 40%. Well, that could explain exactly why all of a sudden, all these ballots getting flown from all across the state were being countered in a fashion that we couldn't expect. And then we were never told clearly from Raffensperger or from Kemp, not once how many ballots were actually remaining. So they just kept on finding ballots. And why did all of a sudden they say that a pipe burst at one in the counting areas when it was just a urinal overflow? Are you being. Are you sick of being lied to? Because I am. And you put on top of that. Now all of a sudden, Raffensperger comes out and he says there are 250 active investigations into voter fraud in this state, including Stacey Abrams. Linked groups came out today. And I thought to myself, just a couple of weeks ago, Raffensperger was doing a press conference saying, do not attack Georgia's elections. We have a perfect process. Like what is. I have 250 investigations. You're now attacking your own system. And it made me think, where was he in September and October sending out those threats? The reason is he's an anti Trumper. So he got a call, probably from David Perdue, who I want to see reelected, by the way. Let me be very clear. But for them now, all of a sudden, it's like we need to protect what we actually care about. And I am convinced that if a real investigation is allowed to happen in this state, all of a sudden, we'll uncover things that we could have never imagined previously. And so there is an organized crime network in every major city across the country. We know this from drug trafficking, gun smuggling, and even the unspeakable sin of child sex trafficking. Human beings are capable of doing brutal, nasty, and evil things. We know this, and yet we are propagandized by our media that when it comes to voting, when you have 10 times more mail in ballots sent out than any other time in Georgia history that everyone just acts perfectly, especially with the hatred and the venom for the president, the highest it has ever been in American political history. We know there's something that happened that was almost plotted and planned and designed. We should have taken this more seriously in early October when they were focusing less on rallies and focusing less on door knocking. And all of a sudden they were focusing on making sure mail in ballots got uninterrupted. Maybe that would explain their cockiness. That would explain their confidence that they almost knew they were going to win. Assuredly. You see, this election was unlike any other election. This election, despite elections previously, had ballots being sent out of people that didn't request them, multiple ballots being sent out, ballots that were not being rejected at previous rates. And did you know that here in Georgia, if they just would have went with previous standards for ballots, Donald Trump wins Georgia with rejecting signatures that do not match. It's that simple. However, as I mentioned, Stacey Abrams, she got into the mechanics of how elections work. She sued, and the Republicans ran to the hills and they thought, that's a red state. Okay, we'll lose by two. We'll win by two instead of three. And then all of a sudden, you have all this liberal Hollywood influence and things start to move. And out of nowhere, we're supposed to believe that the great state of Georgia voted the way it did. So there's two fights right now. There's that fight. We're going to talk about that at length tonight. But the other fight is looming in just a little bit over a month. I don't know how this fight will end up. I don't. It involves the courts, Secretary of State, and quite honestly, international interests that are very, very powerful that control trillions of dollars. I hope we can be successful in that election fight. We have been on top of that daily, doing live streams into the wee hours of the early morning. And thank you for those of you that watch and support those every single day and our podcast that we're doing. However, we also have to make sure that the Democrats get nowhere near these two Senate seats in January. It is mission critical. This is more of a. This is more of a test of what will Trump voters do coming into January after they believe the election was stolen from them and that it was robbed. And what kind of agenda do we want? So a good way to always make decisions is what is the worst case scenario? The worst case scenario is that Joe Biden becomes president on January 20th. I know it's an almost impossible thing to think about. Unfortunately, it's a scenario. Now, I have made a pledge to myself and our team at Turning Point Action that we will do everything we possibly can that if that worst case scenario happens, he is going to have a legislative graveyard to deal with in the United States Senate that anything he proposes is dead on arrival. Nominees, bills, legislation. And we investigate Hunter Biden, the Tony, Bob Yinski and the laptop endlessly in the United States Senate. It's this simple. If you feel like you've been robbed, which I know a lot of you do, then you have a moral obligation to turn out. Now, some of you say, how do we know that this my vote is actually going to count? That's why both fights matter. And by the way, we were just in Arizona doing this exact same thing where they changed the rules and regulations and people got ballots and votes, not counting. Happened all across the country. But interestingly, Republicans did super well everywhere except in a couple counties. Republicans flipped three state legislatures. We won 27 out of 27 competitive House races. We won Senate races that they said we were doomed to lose. Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis. In North Carolina, Lindsey Graham won by double digits. Mitch McConnell won by nearly 20 points. Susan Collins won by double digits. They picked up two Senate races that were kind of foregone conclusions. Martha McSally. And in Colorado with Hickenlooper, we are now on pace to show the slimmest majority for a House of Representatives since the early 1900s. This is a red wave in all but four cities and interestingly, the four cities that stopped counting their ballots. And what we need to do now, as patriotic Americans this January 5th, I don't live in Georgia. And we're coming here for a reason, to rev up the troops and communicate this message that you have a moral obligation to your kids and grandkids to make sure the United States Senate does not get into Democrat hands in January no matter what. And if you're of the belief that Donald Trump will serve a second term, which is possible, considering all the fraud that started to get uncovered, then why would you want Donald Trump to work with a Democrat Senate, no matter what your belief is on that fight, and we will dive deep into it, you need to make sure that Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue win in January. And tens of millions of dollars are flowing into this state endlessly. I know a lot of you are fatigued. I know a lot of you are tired. You're kind of worn out of politics. We whoever came up with this silly runoff strategy, you gotta get rid of it, okay? Because I don't know who this actually benefits except political consultants that can run the same ads over and get the same money back, right? And it's exhausting for us too. We gotta take cross country flights, do door knocks. Enough complaining, okay? They do this professionally. It's about time we start taking at least taking it seriously. Because if we get sloppy or lazy, God forbid, and I mean this, that on January 20th, it ends up being the worst of worst case scenarios and Joe Biden gets inaugurated and all of a sudden there's 50 votes in the US Senate and Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker. And you're talking about green new deal statehood for D.C. puerto Rico, gun confiscation, electoral college abolition, and that will be the opening arguments. So we know the stakes of this election here, and the entire nation is looking at Georgia to do the right thing.
