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.

There's a fair amount of curiosity as to where is the Democrat party going to go next? Are they going to pretend to be a moderate like Gavin Newsom, when in reality he's a radical failed governor of California?

Or are they going to try to be based? Which is not really a term you hear much from the left. Are they going to double and triple down? And boy, if this guy doubles down on anything, you better believe that it is a very, very big, Big Mac from McDonald's.
doubling down is a scary proposition for him.

Watch out.

We're talking about J.B. very, very big, Big Mac from McDonald's.
Doubling down is a scary proposition for him.

Watch out.

We're talking about J.B. Pritzker, of course, the governor of Illinois.

Joining us now is William Kelly from reporterwilliamjkelly.com.

So, William, I want to play this piece of tape here.

Here is J.B. Pritzker talking about how he is evidence of the gay agenda.

These are his words. He was at the Human Rights Coalition, whatever.
J.B. Pritzker is going to want to run for president.

He has a lot of money to do it. Let's play cut to 27.
My mother was an activist for reproductive

rights and LGBTQ rights. And she took me to pride parades back when, well, they weren't

Thank you. rights and LGBTQ rights.
And she took me to pride parades back when, well, they weren't really parades, they were

protests.

So I have to laugh when I hear the right wing carry on about the dangers of exposing kids

to trans people or same-sex couples, because I'm living proof that introducing your kids to the gay agenda might result in them growing up to be governor. William, what are we to make of Mr.
Mr. Pritzker here? Well, as somebody who attends his press conferences on a regular basis, I would tell you right now he's running for president.
He doesn't talk like a governor who cares about the people of Illinois, that's for sure. He's setting himself up to be the anti-Trump.
And for anyone who might be laughing right now and saying how could Pritzker possibly think that he has a shot at the White House, I would like to caution those people. I know that doesn't include you, Charlie, because you know better.
But I warned a lot of people about this guy, this state senator who became a U.S. senator named Barack Obama.
They laughed. They laughed so hard.
And the fact of the matter is that a lot of horrible viruses come out of not only Wuhan, but Chicago, Charlie. And don't think that we might not have a President Pritzker on our hands very soon if if we're not careful.
Well, I mean, that's possible, of course. I am curious what he would run on in a general election.
The destruction of one of the greatest states, once greatest states in the country. So he certainly has ambition.
What would he even say is his greatest accomplishment? Oof. Well, you know, he likes to say that he fights Nazis.
In fact, I've never heard anyone talk about Nazis more than J.B. Pritzker.
He's got an obsession with Nazis. I think they should open up some kind of a civil rights DOJ, civil rights investigation against Pritzker based on his Nazi obsessions.
You know, he, I think in that same speech that you just showed some video of, he said that whenever you see an authoritarian, you should punch him in the nose. I mean, if I got that quote right, if I didn't, then forgive me, but I will say this, as you well know, Charlie, if I said that I would be charged with a hate crime.
If I said, you know, equal or opposite, you know, whatever that, if I said something that might suggest punching Pritchard in the nose, uh, I would be charged with a hate crime. I would be convicted and I would be sent to prison for between 45 to 90 years.
And so just to be clear, J.B. Pritzker is a tyrant himself.
He locked down the entire state of Illinois, preventing people from even to go on their boat in Lake County, where they said there's only two people allowed per boat. My wife, Erica, jokes around.
She says if J.B. Pritzker runs for president, she says that will be the most personal race ever.
I mean, I will be very invested in this because I have such contempt for the slob that is J.B. Pritzker.
Now, it's very funny. He says, well, if you bring your kids to gay parades, they can end up governor.
They could also end up like this. Put up 288.
This is J.B. Pritzker's brother, otherwise known as Jennifer, who is a trans activist.
So it turns out that if you bring your kids to gay pride parades, they might end up trans. Jennifer, who is very, very wealthy and obviously deeply disturbed.
But William, all kidding aside, Illinois is a failed project. It's a sad husk of its former self.
That he really has the wherewithal or the ambition to run after what he's done to the great state of Illinois? You better believe it, Charlie.

And book it.

You know, it's happening.

He's running for president of the United States of America.

And, you know, his family really isn't off limits because, you know,

if you really scratch even a little bit, you find out that there are NGOs

to the tune of millions or billions of dollars.

There's, you know, Epstein flight logs that I've, you know, that we are trying to verify. And, you know, it's very, very hard when you can't really, you know, get all of the information, but we're trying to, we're trying to verify all of this information, you know, and, but yet Pritzker thinks he's above anything because, you know, at his press conferences, all he ever talks about is how tolerant and good he is.
You know, he's a master at the gaslighting. And it's very, you know, I really need to, as you just perfectly did in your last previous segment about Brazil.
I can't really warn America enough about what a Pritzker presidency would look like. He locked down Illinois.
He locked down the schools, the churches, things that I never thought would ever happen in the United States of America. We went out every night with our camera crew.
We saw the looting. He didn't lock that down.
The looting, the rioters, you know, when he campaigned, he was very, very charming, very, you know, talking business. And, you know, a lot of people thought, well, in Illinois, maybe this is as good as it's going to get.
The second he had the opportunity to lock it down and loot it, He did with a zeal that, honestly, to quote his favorite chapter in history, looked pretty Nazi-like. Let's put this up on screen.
You look here at the people want to become president on the Democrat side. You've got Tim Walz.
You have J.B. Pritzker.
You have Gavin Newsom. They're all losing population.
In fact, this is the projected congressional reappropriate apportionment coming into 2030. California is on pace to lose four congressional seats.
Arizona gain one. Texas gain four.
Florida gain four. Illinois lose one.
Wisconsin lose one. Minnesota lose one.
New York lose two. I mean, this is a major symbol of failure.
Well, I think that Pritzker believes that the migrants that he is allowed into Illinois will save that turn that around for him. He he wants them to vote in local elections.
You know, I mean, we all laughed. Well, not all of us, but a few people laughed when they heard this replacement theory.
You also have to understand that in Illinois, migrants, non-citizens, call them whatever you want, illegal aliens. I think we're allowed to say that now, Charlie.
I don't know if we're allowed to have freedom of speech, but if we are, illegal aliens are now receiving driver's licenses.

And they're not the old illegal deals that I tried to warn people about a few years back.

They're actual driver's licenses that are indistinguishable from the driver's license that you or I carry in our pockets.

So who's going to tell migrants, non-citizens, illegal aliens that they can't vote in a federal election? I know that the president has recently come out and said that that is he's trying to prevent that from happening. Pritzker is already spending his millions or billions to make sure that it does happen.
He doesn't just. Last question.
20 seconds. How much money do you think he would spend to make himself president? He would spend all the money that you have.
He'll take all your money and spend it on his campaign for president. Trust me.
He's worth three billion dollars. So you think he would spend like a Michael Bloomberg a billion, maybe guaranteed and then some and then some.
Yeah, this is not this is you know, we can joke. I mean, if you don't joke, you'll, the only way to prevent yourself from getting too angry or too sad is to joke, right? But they haven't taken that away from me yet, Charlie, but this is deadly serious.
William, thank you so much for your time. We are taking it seriously.

Great supporters of this program. Why are we financing with taxpayer money, national public radio, and PBS? NPR is a racket.
It is a far left-wing media organ that is against the interest of the American people. And yesterday there was a masterclass of the CEO of National Public Radio testifying in front of Congress.
NPR should go raise their own money. Go to your own libs and go raise that $100 million a year.
The days of us financing organizations that hate us is over. Let all the rich liberals pay for NPR.
100% of their editorial board is made up of Democrats. Zero Republicans.
And I think it was actually very smart to have them in front of Congress yesterday. At first, they said, what is this kind of show trial? You know, it's typical.
I said, no, actually, it's very smart. If you're going to cut the funding, you had an opportunity to show.
You had a hearing about it. It's very smart.
I liked it. Here's one piece of tape.
This is beautiful. Here is Gills, who's the NPR CEO, saying, do you think white people should pay reparations? This is wonderful.
Play cut 253. Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I have never said that, sir.
Yes, you did. You said it in January of 2020.
You tweeted, yes, the North. Yes, all of us.
Yes, America. Yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt.
Yes, reparations. Yes, on this day.
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. What kind of reparations was it a reference to? I think it was just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to the people who came before us.
That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Brandon is great, by the way.
He's becoming a rock star. He's married to Dinesh D'Souza's daughter we supported him in the primary bizarre way to frame what she tweeted is a good way to to to put it let's go to 259 the old tweets of calling Donald Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath financed with your taxpayer dollars pay cut 259 let me ask you why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath financed with your taxpayer dollars.
Pay cut $259. Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020? Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this.
I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today.
They represented a time where I was reflecting on something that I believe that the president had said rather than who he is. I don't presume that anyone is a racist.
You don't believe anyone is a racist? I don't start by presuming anyone is a racist. She's a dark person.
I know her type. She is very similar to Gavin Newsom.
She could just lie with ease. She could pass a lie detector test.
You could just tell. She's so slippery.
That's really dark stuff. There's no like there's no remorse well i regret tweeting it and i don't like woof it's so rehearsed watch out she she is you know what she's like she's like gone girl that that's what she's like you know that whole movie gone girl that's the type of woman that she is there's something else going on there gotta be real careful let's to cut 257.
So billions have gone into both of your coffers over the last several decades. And I understand why Democrats on this committee are going to viciously and vehemently defend you all because you become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.
67% of your viewers and listeners identify as Democrat with only 12% conservative,

and you become a sandbox for leftist propagandists to frolic on taxpayer dime and no more.

And when you said in the beginning you're going to promote a symphony of ideological viewpoints,

yeah, you do.

If you're left-leaning left, far left, or remarkably Marxist, I yield back.

How about PBS?

Let's go to Cut 254.

Would it trouble you to hear that for six months there was an analysis done on PBS's NewsHour from June to November of 2023, where they found that far right was that term was used 162 times and far left was only used six times. Do you find that troubling? I don't know the study that you're referring to, and I'd love very interested in seeing it and understanding how they came up with those numbers.
Maybe a research center did a six-month analysis, and it's not how you find it. You say far right, it's term.
Cut every single penny from PBS and NPR. These white-lib women, you better get in the fundraising business.
We at Turning Point USA, we have to raise $130, $140 million a year.

It's a big number.

We have a whole team that does it.

We have 420,000 donors.

We receive zero money of taxpayer dollars.

You, mega libs, go raise your money.

Go out to your top rich donors.

Go travel.

And you guys need to go in the fundraising business, not the U.S. taxpayer funding business.
Just looking at those two white lib women. That's really what we're up against right there.
Right there. It is civilization versus whatever that is.

A terrible incident occurred the other day at University of Texas, Dallas. As you know, the left is becoming incredibly violent.
They're going after Tesla dealerships. We receive death threats nearly every single day.
And they're going after our Turning Point USA leaders on the ground. So joining us is one of the students that was violently attacked, Paige Newman,

TPUSA Chapter President at the University of Texas at Dallas, assaulted by a trans student.

Paige, welcome to the program. Please tell our audience what happened to you.

Welcome. Great to see you.

Nice to see you too. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, we were tabling as we usually do. We table every Monday through Wednesday on campus.
We have an event coming up on campus and we're excited for that. We're tabling for it.
It's a beautiful day out. We had a lot of people stopping by and this crazed lunatic came on his bike.
He pulled over next to me. I said, keep moving because I knew he was going to cause some damage.
And he caused damage to my phone was destroyed. Our whiteboard that we use for tabling was destroyed and my head was hit severely.
So this crazy lunatic just wanted to cause damage and he definitely did. And now he's in jail.
So this is not the first time that we've had turning point leaders be assaulted, concussed, firebombed, bear sprayed. It is a very common tactic that they use.
First, I have to ask, are you OK after this madman assaulted you in the head with a bike lock? Yeah, I'm actually doing pretty well, surprisingly. No concussion signs.
I'm going to go get x-rays later today just to be sure. But yeah, I feel great.
If anything, I'm more empowered. I want to keep fighting for what I believe in.
And that's, you know, TPSA's values are so important to me, especially as president. I'm going to keep fighting on for what I believe in.
This person is the name Liam Tom, Tom Nguyen, a male Vietnamese name. Put this up on screen.
This is the individual that did this, who is trans. Of course, the media will completely ignore this.
Could you imagine the opposite? Could you imagine if a conservative went and assaulted a trans group on campus? It would be international news. And so, Paige, talk about how your chapter is responding to this.
Do you guys feel more committed to continue to be out and tabling and recruiting? How are you processing all of this? Yeah, for sure. Even yesterday after the attack happened, we continued to table on, and we kept fighting for what we believe in.
And we had a lot of support actually from people on campus. They saw what happened and were shocked we were still out there after it happened.
So, yeah, we're going to keep fighting on. We're going to have our events on April 1st.
We're going to keep pushing on and spread the message. Hopefully get some new members out of this, honestly.
Talk about what you are seeing on campus. And also, did the police take it seriously? And how did the administration respond? Yeah, the police were actually very, very helpful.
They were they acted swiftly and immediately they caught him the same day. Luckily, we did have the video footage and they used their cameras as well, but they caught him the same day actually on campus in a building nearby.
And yeah, the campus as a whole, they have, you know, definitely received this as mixed. There was a Reddit post going around and people said, I deserve to get hit because I'm a TPUSA freak.
So there's definitely still some hate out there. People still want to cause injury and they still hate TPUSA.
But we've also had people on the other side say, you know what, I'm proud of you guys for being out here. They're proud of us for fighting on and to say, you know what, we're not scared.
I mean, obviously, I took a hit to the head and I got back up and I'm still out there tabling. So we're not scared.
You are a hero. And I hope everyone in the audience who might be in their 40s, 50s, or 60s listening or watching this,

if you guys are not constantly under attack for your values,

then I'm worried about you, that you're not fighting hard enough.

Every day, our Turning Point students are sticking out their neck to fight for our country that we love.

And you guys are heroes for that.

The tip of the spear.

Have any liberal professors condemned this? Have they spoken out against this? Not that I know of. And I honestly don't think they will.
I don't think they're going to say anything. It's just going to be another day in the books for them.
I mean, they don't really care what happens just because, again, we are TPUSA. So this campus, they don't want to see us here, but we're making our presence stronger than ever.
So Paige, talk more broadly about what you are seeing. Polls are showing that young people are going to the right.
In fact, I want to play a piece of tape here. We've played part of this conversation throughout the week, which I think is very important.
So the New York Times-Ezra Klein conversation, I want play cut 75. And I want to ask you if you're seeing similar trends on the ground with the advocacy that you're doing play cut 75, please.
One of the things you can see here is if you just look at 18 year olds, 18 year old women of color are the only of the four that actually, you know, voted that Harris won. Trump narrowly won, you know, non-white men.
So I do find this part of this chart shocking. I sometimes talk about narrative violations.
And I think if we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it's that young people did not like him. But if you look at this chart among white men who were 75 years old, supported Kamala Harris at a significantly higher rate than white men who are 20 years old.
That's exactly right. That's a real shift.
It is a real shift. This is the thing I am the most shocked by, I think, in the last four years, is that young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the baby boomers, and maybe in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the most conservative.
Are you seeing similar trends on the ground, especially with younger men? Yeah, actually. When I do table, I ask, have you heard of TPSA before? And a lot of times the answer is yes.
They'll say, yes, I want to join, but I'm scared. And I'm confused by that.
I'm like, why are you scared? If you believe in something, join it, join the movement. And I encourage everyone to at least attend one of our meetings.
I've seen a lot of women, especially yesterday, I spoke to a lady who wanted to come to our Alex Stein event on campus, but she knew it was with TPUSA. And she was scared to attend because she thought she would not get a job if she was seen attending.
And that's very sad to me. I encourage everyone to just attend one meeting.
We're friendly. We're out there.
We give away free stuff, free advice. We just want to help everyone join the movement.
And yeah, I've definitely seen a big shift. Well, and hold on, this is in Texas, everybody.
This is not Massachusetts. So this is someone who's afraid to go to a conservative event in Dallas, Texas, in a red state.
That's remarkable. Talk more broadly about your school, the classes that you have to take.
Are professors, are they treating you fairly because you're part of Turning Point USA? Do you feel you're graded differently? How do your fellow members feel? I mean, this campus as a whole is very liberal. I am not from Texas originally, so I didn't know how I thought it would be, you know, a red state, as you said, but this campus is the opposite.
People here are very, very left-leaning, and obviously, as you can tell, I was hit in the head. They will cause hate.
They'll spew misinformation online. We've had an Instagram account that's against TPUSA at UT Dallas, a whole Instagram based on it.
They hate us, and so in class, I have felt the need sometimes to act like I am leftist, you know, but I'm the kind of person where I don't mind sharing my values out loud. I've been in classes before that it's all liberals and I'm the one conservative and I state my mind, you know, I'm not afraid to say how I feel.
I might get backlash. I might get hit in the head for it, but I will continue to say how I feel.
Yeah. What is your advice to other turning point chapter leaders or other young conservatives across the country that feel scared, that feel afraid, that are not sure if they want to speak out because they might get hit in the head with a bike lock? I would just say, you know, keep in mind what TPUSA stands for.
Our mission is strong. Our presence is strong and keep fighting on.
If you believe in it, fight for it. You might get backlash.
You might try to get attacked. But obviously, if they're trying to attack you, it means that your mission is the right one because they don't want to see you win.
But we're going to keep winning. Well, I hope you're coming to our Young Women's Leadership Summit.
If not, I will be. We have to fix that.
How did you first come aware of Turning Point USA? Yeah. So they were tabling one day and they had the Riley Gaines event.
And I love Riley Gaines a lot. And I was like, oh, you're going to have that.
Yeah, I'll come. And I had a friend already in the club.
He was an officer. He brought me on.
I went to a meeting. I felt like an outsider, honestly, because it was all men and there was no women there at all.
And I said, you know what? I can change this group around. And I did.
I was secretary and I worked on the Instagram. Our Instagram is now one of the best of the nation, I will say.
And I brought on some more females as well. And now I'm the president and I love it.
We have to have more women involved in the conservative movement. It can't just be all men.
Yes. So, Paige, God bless you.
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you at the Young Women's Leadership Summit.
And I want everyone to internalize this. You guys are looking for hope on the horizon.
Some of you guys are retired. This next generation, they are taking bike locks on the head.
They're scorn, condemnation, isolation. They are out there fighting for your country every single day.
And by the way, can we just defund University of Texas, Dallas? Why is it that these schools are still receiving any money? That's a separate issue. Paige, thank you so much.
Thank you. Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

It's the best of Turning Point USA. I believe, and I'm a little biased, Turning Point USA is the most important organization in America.
I really believe that. I know that there's other people that have different opinions.
That's fine. I'm a little biased, but I don't think there's an organization that comes close to the impact, the depth, the power, the vision.
I think that Turning Point USA is the vanguard of the civilization. The world is waking up to the power of gold.
National banks are scrambling to secure it. According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.

So I had an article sent to me yesterday. It's one of those articles where I just chuckled.
I said, oh, really? Interesting. You're telling me for the first time.
I wrote a book a couple summers ago called The College Scam. It's one of the books I'm most proud of.
It was a clear indictment of the college cabal. It did not win me a lot of friends.
I remember I would get in debates with very wealthy people in Jackson Hole. Oh, I remember a spicy conversation in Jackson Hole.
A debate in Palm Beach of older boomer Americans. College is wonderful and everyone should go to it.
All that matters is the cost of college. We just have to bring down the cost because the most important thing is to get a four-year degree.
And I wrote in the college scam that, no, this is one of the greatest scams happening in America. I see it firsthand and I will be proven right.
Fortune magazine publishes yesterday, this is the first of thousands of these articles. And this is a major I told you so.
Over four million Gen Zers are jobless and experts blame colleges for worthless degrees and a system of broken promises for the rise of NEETs. NEETs are neither employed or getting technical training.
So according to Fortune Magazine, one in every five adult members of Gen Z are neither employed, educated, or training. People are not in the job market, and they're not going to school.
They just do nothing. They live with their parents.
They draw welfare. They play video games.
They exist. It's not fun.
In fact, it's a miserable existence living without direction and just waiting for death. Now, why are so many of them doing nothing? Because for decades, we drove them to take out debt for useless degrees in irrelevant fields.
We shut down schools during COVID. We gutted standards and created an elaborate racial spoil system.
90%. I've said this for a while.

I'll say it again. Nine zero percent of kids that go to college should not go to college.
90% by the way, almost none of these kids are being prepared for the fact they're going to lose their jobs in about a decade to artificial intelligence. There will be a major

job displacement problem. And yet these kids are going hundreds of thousands of dollars in student

loan debt. For what exactly? What are they studying for? And it turns out employers don't want to hire

them. They have useless degrees.
They have no skills and they don't use that degree that they

went to college, even in the workforce. Fortune magazine continues to say this is my favorite part.
I wonder who's been saying this. In many cases, young people have been sent off to universities for worthless degrees, which have produced nothing at all.
Peter Hitchens said, political commentator, journalist and author, quote, now listen carefully. And they would be much better off if they apprenticed to become plumbers or electricians.
They would be able to look forward to a much more abundant and satisfying life. But the reason that they don't want to become plumbers or electricians is that most parents would be ashamed to tell their neighbors that their kid has become a plumber.
Most suburban moms would be horrified to have to tell their girl gang, their book club, oh yeah, Johnny is a plumber. No, no, no.
It's much easier to say that Johnny is trying to find himself. It's much easier to say to your girl gang of moms in your walking group.

Johnny is not an electrician.

Johnny is, he's doing his crypto thing.

Oh, I totally understand.

Johnny has mental health problems.

That's no problem.

I said, you guys are all the problem.

And they kind of chuckled and they looked down.

I said, you guys would rather have your kid

be a wanderer

Thank you. It's no problem.
I said, you guys are all the problem. And they kind of chuckled and they looked down.
I said, you guys would rather have your kid be a wanderer from Portland to Seattle, finding himself working for some sort of microbrewery, trading crypto, than having to tell your friends that he's an electrician. Because that's unseemly for upper middle class white society.

The insecurity of parents has driven an entire generation to despair and a directionless life.
