The numbers you're talking about 61 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 4: people do feel unspoken for, and we just saw it 62 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: with these numbers that you've got. The song was written 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 4: about me wanting to try to make a point of 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: talking about the people that are unspoken for and the 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: people that are are always neglected in the society.

It was just. 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 4: People praying for a better outcome and a representation of 76 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: who Charlie really was. And I just as a songwriter, 77 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: I was just standing there watching all that happened. 78 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 6: I was like, man, I've got to put this in 79 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 6: the song. 80 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 4: It's a Charlie Kirk choir out here, and and and 81 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: I just felt like I had to go on the 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 4: song and. 83 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: I got for that. I was gonna say, what's the 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: reaction been, Because you're really well known in that community. 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 3: I mean, if people in the at home don't know 86 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: who you are, everybody in Nashville knows who you are, 87 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: so it's a big deal. 88 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: And a lot of a lot of people heard the 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 4: song and the first reaction was, well, we can, we 90 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 4: can help you with this song, but you're gonna have 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 4: to change a couple of the lines. 92 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 6: And I was like, I wonder which ones they want 93 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 6: me to change? And I said, no, I can't. 94 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: I can't do that because that's that's my job as 95 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: a songwriter. I write what I see, I write the truth, 96 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 4: and I try to represent that the best I can. 97 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: And I I just figured I could work this song 98 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: on my own grassroots if I couldn't get the help 99 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 4: from the industry that was kind of frowning upon what 100 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: I wrote about. So I just figured I'd try to 101 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: go for it myself with to help with some people 102 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 4: like John Rich and others. I got a few platforms 103 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 4: where I could launch this thing and get it heard 104 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: and with a compying, you know, accompanying video, and the 105 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 4: next thing I know, I'm I'm off to the races 106 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 4: where it hits on my hands because people want to 107 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: hear it. 108 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 6: People do feel like they're not spoken for it, and 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 6: they do beat a voice. 110 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you for your courage. And I think, 111 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: you know, Blake's probably gonna have some thoughts on this too. 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 3: But you know, when we went to about when we 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: went set about doing the halftime show, we we hit 114 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: some serious pushback from venues, from not really artists. A 115 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: lot of the artists were really excited to be a 116 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: part of it, but then their agents and their managers 117 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: would get involved and they'd be looking at dollar signs, 118 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 3: and then there was some sort of hesitancy explain that 119 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: piece of the industry that people maybe don't understand. You know, 120 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: why would there be reticence to use the name Charlie 121 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: Kirk and the song? Why would there be reticence to 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: be a part of something like the halftime show? And 123 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: when we pushed through and we get forty to fifty 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: million eyeballs on it, does that change things? Yeah? 125 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, they're they're pushing a narrative 126 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: as hard as they can. 127 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 6: And it started a few years ago with the national anthem. 128 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 4: And taken a knee and the public, the public immediately 129 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: showed what they thought about that. And you've you've got 130 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 4: basically a country that so many people are everybody in 131 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 4: the world's watching this game, but the American audience is 132 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 4: so vast, and what they what they want to see 133 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: on that field is a representation of what they feel 134 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 4: America is. And I think I keep I think that 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: every year this thing gets crazier, more outlandish, more sex driven, 136 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: less less morality, less less about faith, less about country. 137 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: And I just think there's quite a few hundred million 138 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: Americans out there that have just said enough, We've enough, 139 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 4: and that that was the reason to try to be 140 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 4: a voice for those voices that are just being completely 141 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 4: silenced by the music industry. 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 6: For me to try to get this song out. I 143 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 6: can give you a great example. 144 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: The week after I released this song, Bruce Springsteen comes 145 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: out with an anthem about Minneapolis and it's an anti 146 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: Trump and it's an anti ice lyric, and it's immediately 147 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: embraced and wrapped around and it goes to number one. 148 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: Where my song, they won't even They tell me it's 149 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: too right wing. They can't play it on the radio. 150 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: And that's what we're up against as a conservative a 151 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: music listener. You can't find the music unless I find 152 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: a way. I have to creep and Crawl'll find a 153 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 4: way to get it out there to the public that really. 154 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 6: Wants to hear it. 155 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: And the main thing is Andrew everywhere I've gone playing 156 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: this song live before I released it.

Uh, But 177 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: I'm very I'm very glad that you've shown that love 178 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: for Charlie. Jeffrey, I'm very glad your song is a 179 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: hit for that reason. And I'm I'm glad the All 180 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: American halftime show is a hit. If people want to 181 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: hear country music, they should hear country music. I just 182 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: like they'll put on rock music instead. 183 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I think I think to put it down, 184 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 4: to to put down the halftime. 185 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 6: Show like to put down somebody's work. I mean, this 186 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: is America, it's free speech. 187 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 4: We should be able to get it all out there. 188 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 4: Either we get all of it out there or we 189 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 4: get none of it out there. And that the one 190 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 4: thing that Charlie was was a voice for everybody. He 191 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 4: was a voice for everybody that felt like they didn't 192 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: have a voice. That was his whole mission to bring 193 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 4: what he knew and just try to bring some common 194 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: sense to everything he spoke about and let people have 195 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: a microphone and have a voice just speak their minds. 196 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 4: And that's really was the basis of the song. So 197 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 4: there was no way I couldn't include that in the song. 198 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: I had to speak to him and what he did 199 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 4: for young Americans. 200 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: Good for you, Jeffrey.

No, none of it. 335 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 336 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: And this is part of you know, we're victims of 337 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: our own success here and Blake, you've probably experienced this 338 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: when when you travel abroad, the foreign media covers like 339 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: half of their own country, and then half of their 340 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 3: programming is just devoted anything that's going on in America. 341 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 3: So the entire world feels like they're entitled to will 342 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: pine on American domestic politics. 343 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's frust We are one hundred percent victims 344 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: of our own success and like and just how fascinating 345 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: we are there. I've seen people joke where it's like 346 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: Canadians notoriously follow often follow American politics more than their 347 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: own politics. A lot of Europeans, as you say, it's 348 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. And I guess we're also just victims 349 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 2: of the nature of modern sports media. If you're if 350 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 2: you're a sports journalist, probably no one's going to care 351 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: that much about your curling athletes, unless, oh, if you 352 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: can get them to say something bashingized, bashing the administration, 353 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: it's now a gener story, which they were completely successful at. 354 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: We have clipped three six one. 355 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 10: But we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention 356 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 10: what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time 357 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 10: it's been for everybody. I am a lawyer, as you know, 358 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 10: and we do the cost. We have a constitution and 359 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 10: it allows us to freedom of the press and freedom 360 00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 10: of speech, protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, and 361 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 10: makes it that we have to, you know, have probable 362 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 10: cause to be pulled over. And what's happening in Minnesota 363 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 10: is wrong. There's no shades of gray. 364 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: It's clear, Yeah, you know what it is wrong? What's 365 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: happening in Minnesota? Because these agitators should stop harassing law enforcement. 366 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: You dunce really anyone can become a curler, is what 367 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 2: I got from that video. It's like, oh, it's a 368 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: forty five year old lawyer looking guy. But to make 369 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: sure we get this in. Vice President Man's had a 370 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: very good response to Hunter Hess's comments that we showed 371 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. We need to play that. Three 372 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: sixty three. 373 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 11: Olympic athletes are unbelievable, and I know the entire country 374 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 11: is rooted for him. Yes, you're gonna have some Olympic 375 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 11: athletes who pop off about politics. I feel like that 376 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 11: happens to every Olympics. My advice to them would be 377 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 11: to try to bring the country together. And when you're 378 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 11: representing the country, if you're representing Democrats and Republicans, you're 379 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 11: there to play a sport and you're there to represent 380 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 11: your country and hopefully win a medal. 381 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 4: You're not there to. 382 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: Pop off about politics. 383 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 11: So when Olympic athletes enter the political arena, they should 384 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 11: expect some pushback. But most of the local athletes wherever 385 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 11: they're politics, are doing a great job. Are are certainly 386 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 11: enjoyed that supported the entire country, and I think recognize 387 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 11: that the way to bring the country together is not 388 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 11: the show up in a foreign country and attack the 389 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 11: president the United States. 390 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 3: Let me translate that for you. Shut up and dribble, 391 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: that's it. That's all we want you to do.

Many 405 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 3: of them don't even know how much they owe. Y 406 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 3: Refi can help. Just go to wyrefi dot com.

We're 411 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 3: about to get to it and around the horn sort 412 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: of what races to watch? What endorsements have we just 413 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 3: made Tyler Welcome to the show. Yeah, hey man, So 414 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 3: I started seeing we made a bunch of announcements about 415 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: endorsements in the state of Texas. I started seeing a 416 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 3: bunch of chatter online. Why don't you walk us through it? 417 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: And then we're gonna go race by race where we're 418 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 3: where we're looking and how Turning Point Action is getting 419 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 3: involved in what the audience can do to help. 420 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, so we actually just made a lot of different endorsements. 421 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 7: You can actually go see all of Turning Point Actions 422 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 7: endorsements live in real time as they come out, and 423 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 7: this is kind of peak endorsement season. 424 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 5: Usually the first quarter of the year. 425 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 7: Of the election is when a lot of endorsements are 426 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 7: coming out, so you see a lot of different organizations 427 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 7: making them. You know, we've been pretty judicious about our 428 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 7: endorsements at Turning Point Action. Most of it's based off 429 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 7: of our scorecard. But you can go see our endorsements 430 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 7: at tpaction dot com slash endorsements. It's tpaction dot com 431 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 7: slash endorsements. And again, a lot of what we do 432 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 7: when we make endorsements, we're making them around what their 433 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 7: score looks like if they have a record, So at 434 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 7: our scorecard, we're pretty tough graders. Where we've been kind 435 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 7: of hailed as the toughest graders. We have other issues 436 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 7: we particularly emphasize. We have an all encompassing scorecard. So 437 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 7: if you go to our scorecard, we have a bunch 438 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 7: of different issues. The key issues that we cover are 439 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 7: typically a scorecard will cover one issue, like, for example, 440 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 7: the NRAs covers Second Amendment issues. Ours covers American culture, 441 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 7: big tech and free speech, border security, educational freedom, so 442 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 7: school choice, election integrity, health and medical freedom, Second Amendment, 443 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 7: taxes and spending. So we kind of cover all of 444 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 7: it and that's what goes into our scoring for how 445 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 7: we make endorsements. And then those that don't have a record, 446 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 7: we give them a questionnaire to fill out and based 447 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 7: off of their answers that they've given the questionnaire that 448 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 7: matches up with how the most recent voting goes. That's 449 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 7: typically how we'll start placing endorsements with our team. But yeah, 450 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 7: so we just made some critical endorsements in Texas and 451 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 7: Texas state wide candidates. There's two very interesting ones. Ken Paxton, 452 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 7: who's running for US Senate, who's leading the polls right now, 453 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 7: doing very well supported by the Conservatives across the state. 454 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 7: And then Chip Roy, who has been a minimber of 455 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 7: the Freedom Caucus for Age to replace Kim Paxton. We're 456 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 7: kind of the two big big movers and shakers some 457 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 7: other big ones. 458 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 3: Well yeah, and just if we pause there, I saw 459 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 3: people commenting. So it's it's sort of a well known 460 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: fact that, you know, Ken who we endorsed for Senate, 461 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: and Congressman Chip Roy, who we endorse for ag have 462 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 3: a little bit of history. People are like, I can't 463 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 3: believe you endorse both or whatever. Listen, we're both come 464 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 3: on the show. Both have been great patriots, both have 465 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 3: stood by turning point by Charlie. Is there anything you 466 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: want to just say about that particular dynamic, because it 467 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 3: is something people have brought up. Yeah. 468 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 5: I mean, everybody's got an opinion. 469 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 7: No one's perfect in politics, right, So there's always going 470 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 7: to be a situation when you do endorsements where you 471 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 7: know somebody's you know, upset. We we don't generally wade 472 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 7: into endorsements lightly. So again, we have a very judicious 473 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 7: approach that we take, which is, you know, it's not 474 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 7: you're just endorsing someone because they're friends with somebody. We 475 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 7: look at their score, we look at their record, we 476 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 7: look at the polling that exists right now, do they 477 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 7: have a chance to win. 478 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 479 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 7: Blake just brought up on a recent podcast that we 480 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 7: did the Buckley rule, which is you want to you 481 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 7: want to the most conservative, the most conservative that Canada 482 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 7: that has the best. 483 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 5: Chance of winning. 484 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 7: And so that's kind of that's kind of the approach 485 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 7: that we take with things, is they need to have 486 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 7: a great, great record, they need to bring bring back 487 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 7: a questionnaire, they need to be recommended by people we trust. 488 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 4: Uh. 489 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 5: But then you know, we kind of grow on. 490 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 7: We talk to them, we you know, court them, talk 491 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 7: to them for a long time and see kind of 492 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 7: where they end up. And based off of that, that's 493 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 7: how we come to things. We also prioritize states that 494 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 7: matter the most. So you'll notice on our scorecard most 495 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 7: of the states are swing states. And then we just 496 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 7: started waiting into a state like Texas, which has a 497 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 7: primary that's coming up here in the next week week 498 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 7: or two here where you have early ballots starting to 499 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 7: drop and the election is going to take place in March. 500 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 7: So that's kind of the approach that we take with everything. Again, 501 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 7: very judicious, very focused. No one is perfect in politics, 502 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 7: so you're always going to have a situation where you 503 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 7: feel like somebody has some you know, susceptibility to lose, 504 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 7: or that they have a quality that you don't like, 505 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 7: or a vote that they've made that you don't like, 506 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 7: or a statement that they said that you don't like. 507 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 7: That's pretty much on both sides. You kind of in 508 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 7: most cases want to find the person that aligns most 509 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 7: with the value system and then has the most importance 510 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 7: for us to win long term and help help the elections. 511 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 5: In twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight. 512 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 7: And so if you look at our state wides right now, 513 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 7: obviously one of our earliest endorsements Charlie's endorsement Andy Biggs, 514 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 7: you know, former chairman of the Freedom Cocus here in Arizona, 515 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 7: Byron Donald's running for Florida. 516 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 2: We have we have Ken Paxton on the wrong part, 517 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: we have his his run for US Senate. On the 518 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: state endorsements. 519 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 5: Instead of yeah yeah, yeah. 520 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 7: They got to move that that that that's supposed federal 521 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 7: federal that's supposed to be up on the federal so 522 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 7: there there it is. 523 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, they just I think they they they duplicated there. 524 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 7: But but yeah, that's uh uh. You have Joe Lombardo 525 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 7: running for Nevada governor. You have Bert Jones running for 526 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 7: Georgia governor. Marsha Blackburn obviously he's been a friend of 527 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 7: the organization for a long time. 528 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: Uh. 529 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 7: These are kind of we're laying out the future here 530 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 7: and many more will come. 531 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: Uh. 532 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 7: Congressoman Harriet Hageman UH just recently announced he's running for 533 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 7: US Senate. So we have a couple of you Senate. 534 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 7: We have a couple of really interesting congressional endorsements that 535 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 7: we made. Michael Alfonso, who will be the youngest member 536 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 7: of Congress should he get elected to replace Tom Tiffany 537 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 7: UH in Wisconsin again swing state. Great young dude. He 538 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 7: was at America Fest. Incredible, incredible talent, great family, beautiful, 539 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 7: beautiful family. Joe Mitchell who's in Iowa, who will again 540 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 7: also be one of the youngest members of Congress. So yeah, 541 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 7: there's just some really exciting, really exciting hope for the future. 542 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 5: I think when you go through this and again a. 543 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 7: Great place to put your focus energy, money, time, energy, 544 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 7: and to help us chase votes ultimately when it comes 545 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 7: to the end of this election, the end of this year. 546 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of questions about that, and I 547 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 3: do want to just reiterate real quick that this is 548 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 3: we've got Michael Alfonso and Joe Mitchell. Really one of 549 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,239 Speaker 3: our focuses here at Turning Point Action is finding that 550 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 3: next generation of talent, of next generation of conservative leaders 551 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: that really can not only do a good job in Congress, 552 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: but that have bright futures ahead of them wherever they 553 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: choose to go, whether that's stay in Congress or run 554 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 3: for Senate or governor. So Joe Mitchell in Iowa and 555 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 3: Michael Alfonso are are in Wisconsin are two really great 556 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: shooting stars that you want to keep your eye on. 557 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: And we'll have more of those coming out in the 558 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 3: months ahead. Also, So Tyler, there's a lot of question 559 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 3: about where Turning Point Action is going to be deploying resources, 560 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 3: paid staff, ballot chasing ahead of the midterms. Now, we 561 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 3: have kind of a twenty twenty eight vision for things, 562 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: but we're also working on twenty twenty six. Maybe walk 563 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 3: the audience through where we're focusing our attention the most. 564 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, so our top so we are the only national 565 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 7: organization in the conservative movement that has full time staff 566 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 7: and all of the swing states, so you know, actually, 567 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 7: right now as we're speaking, we have a training class 568 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 7: that's over in our at Turning Point Action building that 569 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 7: I just came from that I just spoke to, where 570 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 7: we are training AP staff to be deployed to Indiana. 571 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 7: We have staff that are being deployed to all the 572 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 7: swing states. Indiana, of course, as just as a refresher. 573 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 7: We had the individuals in the state Senate that blocked 574 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 7: redistricting that would have given us at least another House 575 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 7: seat in Indiana, and so it's of utmost importance to 576 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 7: hold those people accountable. And so we have staff that 577 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 7: are being deployed out there for candidates that are running. 578 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 7: But then in the swing states, of course, so Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, 579 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 7: North Carolina, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio, those 580 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 7: are all the key states where there are key races, 581 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 7: fundamental races in many of those states, most a majority 582 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 7: of those states in twenty twenty six that are crucial 583 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 7: for us to win and set the states for twenty 584 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 7: twenty eight for a candidate jd Vance or a really 585 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 7: strong Republican ticket that is going to come forth, of course, 586 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 7: through the pathway the normal pathway of Iowa, the Iowa Caucuses. 587 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 5: And the New Hampshire where we have full time staff. 588 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 7: So again, we're laying the ground game now, and anyone 589 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 7: getting involved with turning point action now is directly helping 590 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 7: against set the table, lay the foundation for twenty twenty eight. 591 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 7: And this could to be more critical because twenty twenty 592 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 7: eight is going to define whether we win or loose 593 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 7: long term, specifically around the census and redistricting for twenty thirty. 594 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 7: If we lose the presidency in twenty twenty eight and 595 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 7: we do not set the table correctly in twenty twenty 596 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 7: six in all these states, you lose twenty twenty eight, 597 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 7: you lose the country maybe for a generation. 598 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 3: So it's really really greatful that we win, Blake. Since 599 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 3: you've spent so much time in DC, I want to 600 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: get into staffing, Like, what would the implication of staffing 601 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: if you have four years of President Trump and then 602 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 3: let's just say another four years of JD maybe Marcos's VP, 603 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: maybe you get eight years. What kind of momentum you 604 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: can build from a staffing perspective, Because one of the 605 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 3: things that's good about President Trump having a term off, 606 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: so we got to kind of clear the table and 607 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 3: bring in real, real talent, right, But it also meant 608 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden had four years to kind of keep 609 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: staffing and replace people in the bureaucracy, which was a problem. 610 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 3: Also breaking news here, the US House has approved rule 611 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: for the Save America Act.

But I do think he's feuded with 670 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 2: President Trump alongome he feuded with him in the first term. 671 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: And I do think that's warped him a bit over time, 672 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: But you could offer more perspective on that. 673 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 7: Man. I think what happens is you just get a 674 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 7: certain people in Congress unfortunately gets sucked into just talking 675 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 7: to the people who fund them the most, which I 676 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 7: think is actually antithetical to what the idea of Congress 677 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 7: is supposed to be. The idea of Congress is supposed 678 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 7: to be originally was that you are representative of the people. 679 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 7: It was a certain amount of people, is a lot 680 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 7: smaller of a group of people in America at the 681 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 7: time when it was originally devised, and you were deeply 682 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 7: influenced by your actual community. And unfortunately congressmen, you know, 683 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 7: have I think it's seven hundred and some odd thousand 684 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 7: people that they represent, and so the reality of representing 685 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 7: people just doesn't happen. And so when you're peppered by 686 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 7: people who talk to you the most, which end up 687 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 7: being your fundraisers and the people who give you money, 688 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 7: and the people who influence you the most or have 689 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 7: been your ideological fan boys or fangirls, you listen to 690 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 7: those people the most, and they warp your They warp 691 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 7: your sense of representation. And I think that that people 692 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 7: fall prey to that. On the left, for sure, we 693 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 7: see that all the time. Obviously we see that with 694 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 7: the entire Democrat Party. But we see it happen on 695 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 7: the right, you know, fairly frequently, where these people just 696 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 7: become fairly warped, inaccessible, and they just become you know, 697 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 7: full of vitriol for you know, again the president or 698 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 7: for a specific piece of legislator. They get warped and 699 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 7: then it crashes their career instead of being balanced, which 700 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 7: I think Thomas Massey has been balanced for most of 701 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 7: his career, and it's unfortunate to see him go against 702 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 7: the same act. 703 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think, you know, you know, my genuinely 704 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 3: I felt terrible for Thomas Massey when he lost his wife. 705 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 3: The president's been opining on true social though that his 706 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 3: new wife is leading him down this very liberal path. 707 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 3: And who knows, you know, it's not really you can't 708 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 3: really know that sort of thing. But this is that 709 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 3: fiery exchange I was just telling you about. We have 710 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 3: it loaded now between Attorney General Pam Pondi and Thomas Massey. 711 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: The floor of the House four nineteen. 712 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: Moved to within forty minutes you asked me a question. 713 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 2: Within forty minutes, Wexner's name was added back in forty minutes. 714 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: Of me catching you red handed, red hand, there was 715 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: one redaction. 716 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 3: He's listed as a coach, and. 717 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 6: We invited you in. 718 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: And this guy has trumped arrangement syndrome. 719 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 2: He needs to get you're a failed politician. That was 720 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: the illustrious constitutional Republican actions. No, yeah, she was mad 721 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 2: like that. They had Wexter's name blacked out on something, 722 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: which evidently they knew he was there because he could 723 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 2: call it out, and then they put it in within 724 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 2: forty minutes. It's such a bizarre. 725 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 3: Thing, but Blake. They're also getting mad at the lack 726 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 3: of redactions too. They're saying it's too messy, there's not 727 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 3: enough redactions. There's people on both sides of this debate. 728 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 3: There has been such a push from grassroots on the 729 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 3: left and the right, politicians on the left and the 730 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 3: right to get this stuff out. They pushed it all 731 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 3: out based on this act that was passed, and now 732 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: there's people saying not enough redactions, too many reactions, So 733 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 3: it's a complete mess either way. 734 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: You look at is Massy the first politician to go 735 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 2: downhill big time when he grew a beard, Like jad 736 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: Vance got way better with the beard. I feel like 737 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 2: usually growing a beard is awesome for a politician. I 738 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 2: think it's because either way. 739 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 7: I think it's like you know, when they talk about, 740 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 7: you know, women changing their hair color dramatically, it's like 741 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 7: either it's really good or really indicative of something not 742 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 7: going well. 743 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's man. That's beards for men. 744 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

Before we close, Andrew, 751 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 2: I just I do want to emphasize that point you 752 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 2: mentioned why it is so important that we win, because 753 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 2: it does come down to who's staffing things in DC. 754 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 2: And as much as we think Trump did have the 755 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 2: chance to improve because they spent four years in the 756 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 2: wilderness and they learned a lot from mistakes, and they 757 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 2: came out like a cannonball, the biggest loss they had 758 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 2: was they had four years of appointments interrupted four years 759 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 2: of Biden and then they resume. And you saw this 760 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 2: with Obama. Especially, a lot of consolidation happens in the 761 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 2: second half of an administration, and especially in a second term. 762 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 2: You just you have a full like a kind of 763 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: generation of federal hires who are controlled by a process, 764 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 2: and there's all these rule changes you basically need till 765 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 2: the end of this term for President Trump to win 766 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 2: every Supreme Court case he's going to have to win 767 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 2: to have strong control over federal hiring. And then you'll 768 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 2: get that in this second half. So that's why all 769 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 2: of these turning point endorsements, these Turnpoint Action endorsements matter. 770 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: That's why we need them to win so that we 771 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 2: can win in twenty eight. It's all about consolidation, and. 772 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 3: We do imagine twelve years of hiring, twelve years of 773 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 3: hiring at the federal level. 774 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 7: We have to win twenty twenty eight, and we need 775 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 7: people to work together.
