This last weekend I was honored to be a co host, a guest host, you could say, on Fox and Friends weekend. It was a tremendous experience. I just want to commend Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos Duffy, the two permanent hosts on the program. They were so welcoming. They were so kind. They're just wonderful people and they were really just awesome to work with. And also the entire Fox production team, the producers, just, you understand, you get up for this program around 3:45 on a Saturday morning. You get into the studio, you prep, they give you a whole pile of stuff you got to go through and then you have to be interesting for four hours straight. And it seems like we did very well. I guess the ratings will come out later this week, but and also I did it all on no caffeine, which is kind of the way that I'm doing things nowadays. So the phenomenal experience and one of the moments that has really started to go viral and that was most important, is where we contrasted the Democrat party and their perspective on how to reach younger people, specifically with the Gen Z Summit they did last week. And what we've done at Turning Point USA and the Gen Z Summit that happened last week was a mockery. They literally had a guy in a panda suit on stage Talking to like 200 younger Gen Z activists. You contrast that with the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, which you obviously know. What we do at Turning Point USA is the best of the best. The best speakers, the best organizing, the best energy. It's second to none. From Pete Hegseth to Kristi Noem. We had Tucker Carlson, we had Russell Brand. It was a phenomenal experience. And then, so you see, it's a really amazing transformation. The Democrats, 13 years ago, their political events were cool and they were more uplifting and they were attractive. Why is it, and how is it possible that we have this robust youth movement? Can we just get this picture up on screen? This is literally the Gen Z Democrat Organizing Youth Summit. It's maybe like 150 people. Just to put this in perspective, our members Only lounge at the Student Action Summit, which is for only people that become members of the Charlie Kirk Show. Members.charlie kirk.com is bigger than that. This looks like a Dorm meeting, maybe 100 students. And it's. So I don't have an. Usually I have a really good answer to things. Why people tune in. How is it possible? And then contrast that with the Turning Point USA stuff. Just look at the images. I mean, it's remarkable. How is it possible that on the Democrat side they raised billions of dollars? They have connections to Hollywood, they have tons of billionaire donors that were the ones that have these events with 7,000 students. And we have young people from across America that are there. I mean, just look at just the production quality. Go back and forth between. So that's our, that's our Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. Just one of our gatherings throughout the year. And by the way, we're drawing thousands of people on campus. Then contrast that with the Democrat Gen Z Organizer 1. Look at this one. How is that possible? Our stage crew is bigger than the amount of people at the Gen Z Summit. And it wasn't like this was just some sort of afterthought. They had Kamala Harris there, they had Nancy Pelosi there. I mean, this was supposed to be their big summer organizing event. And look again at ours. They are floundering. But it's more than floundering. They're not even investing or trying. And I think the best explanation I have is that what we do is really hard at Turning Point usa. I wish I could take credit for it, but our team, they work nights, they work weekends, they take red Eye flights. It is the hardest working team in American politics. And I don't think the Democrats want to work that hard. I just don't. I don't think the Democrats want to go through the grit or the hustle or the 13 years of investment that we've put through. And that is just one event. Listen, Nancy Pelosi yammering about whatever. This is the officially sanctioned Voters of Tomorrow summit. Look at this and then you look at us, everybody. For those of you that are looking for some good news Right now, 13 years ago, it would have been the opposite. Thirteen years ago, Obama would have had gatherings like ours. Thirteen years ago we were on the outside looking in. And now 13 years later, we are the ones that not just the better events, we have chapters, we have. We're more viral, we're more online, we're better not. We're not necessarily better funded. And that's the perplexing part of this. Where is all the Democrat money going? It's obviously not going for training and for activism. Just put this Gen Z summit up. This is the Gen Z voters of tomorrow. This is their big shebang. This is the big jubilee. This is the bonanza. And we. This is such an important point. A friend from Chicago just sent this to me. When I first started Turning Point USA and this movement was birthed, I used to look up to the Democrats. I used to look at the Democrats as a model. They're so well organized. They're in all of our communities. They're well financed, they're well funded, they do big events and they own culture. We used to look at the Democrats as something to try to defeat. And now 13 years later, I mean, this is pathetic. It is paltry. It's almost like intentionally bad. I mean, what is that? A bunch of tents or food? Tent tense now they're playing catch up to us. And guess what? I will outwork you. We will outwork you. That I guarantee. We are not taking it easy. We're doing more campus events this fall. We are going to wake up even earlier. We're going to be doing more events, we're going to be doing more activism, we're going to be doing more podcasts, we're going to be doing more interviews, we're going to be doing more social media views, we're going to be doing more tiktoks, we're going to do more Instagram reels. It is a full out cultural investment. And meanwhile, you guys are talking about diversity as our strength. What is it? 2014 is calling Nancy Pelosi and they want their talking points back. And you have to wonder, and again, I don't have a great answer to this. I'd love your thoughts. Freedom. Charliekirk.com I have a feeling most of the audience is going to say the Democrats have stolen all the money. There's probably a lot of truth to that. But let's go to cut 278. This is from my time on Fox and Friends. They show some of the clips from the actual event. Look at the contrast. Do you want a positive, encouraging story? This happened just over the weekend, this Gen Z of Tomorrow summit Play. Cut to 78.
