Hey, everybody, enjoy this episode. Become a member. Members.CharlieKirk.com. That is members.CharlieKirk.com. Email us as always, freedom at CharlieKirk.com and become a member to support this program. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. 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. Are we ready to win Arizona this Tuesday?

Oh, it's been a long time coming for all of us in this room. We remember what's happened these last couple election cycles. We have seen this movement sweep the country. And I got to tell you guys, this is a very, very special evening. Do you know the first ever MAGA rally was held in Phoenix, Arizona? And tonight...

is as a candidate, Donald Trump's last visit as a candidate to Arizona, completing that nine-year journey. And let's remember, why did Donald Trump choose Arizona as the first ever MAGA rally?

It's because Donald Trump's values have not changed over the last 40 years. From the Golden Escalator to this stage tonight, Donald Trump was clear that our country will be invaded no longer and we will not put up with our sovereignty being jeopardized. That's why he came to Arizona. This state helped launch the movement that has swept the globe. This state...

has been, let's just say, not exactly, what's the best word I could say? Accurately reflected in elections. Thank you, sir. Is that a nice way to put it? Too nice. Well, talk to me on Wednesday. I'll be a little more candid. Everybody, this is a monumental time that we're living through right now. And the stakes of this election, you all know them, and that's why you are here. You're going to hear tonight, and you just, how awesome is that from Nicole, by the way? It's not just amazing.

There's something profound happening in this country where Kamala Harris gets Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and we get Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. They say that Trump is good at making deals. That is the best political trade in the history of political trades, everybody. The realignment is it does not matter if you are a Republican or Democrat.

It does not matter the label that you used to call yourself. It simply matters, do you love the country

And do you want to do whatever it takes to save the country from these robber barons, from these ideological zealots, and these partisans that have been stealing our money, going after our children, and sending us into no-win wars halfway across the globe? What this election is about is where you have a Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, the former co-chair of the DNC, endorsing Donald Trump. We are the party of free speech, of borders.

We are the party of openness to ideas, and they are the party of war, censorship, and ugliness. And you saw it on display, where the current president of the United States thinks that you're a bunch of garbage. Well, look around, Mr. President, because there's a lot of garbage here tonight. And this Tuesday, we're going to take out the garbage of the White House, and we're going to be back in charge of this country.

And everybody, your work is paying off. But tonight is not your contribution for the election. The Democrats are not just going to roll over and hand us back this beloved state. This is our home and our home. These last couple election cycles, I have a pit in my stomach still from 2020. Are you with me? I feel sick from what has happened in 2022. And you guys have stepped up, but we're not there yet.

You see, in 2020, we were down a couple points at this time in early voting. As of today, we are beating the Democrats by eight points in early voting. Eight points. And we have a lot of work yet to do.

This weekend must be a weekend where you go completely nuts, where you go knock on every neighbor's door, where you download the Turning Point Action app and you canvass your neighborhood. You find every low-propensity voter imaginable. I'm curious, how many of you already voted? Raise your hand if you voted. That's a lot of hands. And if you have already voted, you need to go find two or three or four or five or six other people. Your job and your duty and your task is not done.

This state is going to determine the future of the United States of America. And you look at the issue set in front of us. Arizona has been a victim of every failed policy by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

Open borders, record inflation. When Donald Trump was president, you could buy a home in Phoenix, Arizona if you earned $75,000 a year. Now it requires $135,000 a year to purchase a home just in Phoenix, Arizona. Not to mention the millions of people coming across the southern border. And you look at what Donald Trump will do. Kamala Harris, they ask the question, what are you going to do for the economy? She says, well, you know, I was raised in a middle class family. Okay, we got that.

And by the way, just so we're setting the record straight, Donald Trump has worked longer at McDonald's than Kamala Harris ever has. Just for the record. On day one, Donald Trump, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, drill, baby, drill, secure the border, end World War III, and no men in women's sports. And that's just day one, everybody. That's just day one.

They are not just going to hand over the country to you because we have big crowds and we're doing well in early voting. These next couple of days, I do not want to see a spirit of cockiness or confidence. I want you to rewatch the photos on your iPhone and go back and watch what happened when they called Arizona 90 minutes after polls closed. Do you remember that?

I want you to recreate the anger that you felt. I want you to recreate that pit of the stomach of those of you that lived here your whole life and you thought this state would never, ever, ever send its votes to a Democrat as president. And no, I told, I'm right there with you. And so the

The essence is this though, is that we can all do more to make sure that will never happen again. And in the coming days, that will be determined. Here is the fact. There are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters right now in the valley that have received mail-in ballots that have not yet submitted them. We need to find those people and get them in the system. There are hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters that may or may not show up. These are plumbers, electricians, and welders. These are people that we love and that we cherish.

I might say, oh, my vote won't matter. You need to convince them to go to the polls and get their vote in and bring two friends with them. You see, what they're doing, the Democrats are counting on, is the only way that they're able to maintain with power is if we stay at home and we do not turn out in record numbers. And this is a realignment that we are living through in real time. As you know, I'm seeing it firsthand. We just completed today.

Our 25th campus stop in support of Donald Trump. 25. And I go to college campuses so you don't have to, but I'll tell you, there is something happening on these campuses. We can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our campus events. And I am happy to report that young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years, everybody. In 50 years. The table is set. We outnumber them.

We have more support, but do we have more votes? The question is we have to turn our support into votes and that is where the grittiness comes in. Where this weekend, instead of just sitting around watching football, come to one of our Super Chase events that we have coming across all across the valley. Go knock on five doors.

Go make yourself an active participant. Say, oh, Charlie, what does that mean? Let me just demonstrate. Very easy. Step one, wear the MAGA hat. Step two, go into a Denny's and people compliment it and say, have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted? Have you voted? Be everybody. We need to flood the zone with public support of Donald Trump in this state and get every last voter out to the polls. Every last one. And I will close with this. I was raised in Chicago, but this is my home.

And I love this state. This is the best place in America, and I could live anywhere I want. I live here for a reason. No one asks where you went to college. I wouldn't be able to tell them because I didn't go to college. No one here cares who your parents are. Arizona is what America should be. It's how do you act, what is your character, and what do you do. This is the best the country has to offer, this state.

State 48 is a state that loves liberty. It's a state that loves freedom. It's a state that cherishes the founding ideals of this nation. I moved here for a reason. And I believe we are all here for God's purpose to liberate this state from Democrat control. And we'll all see it on CNN on election night. If we do the work, we can now project the 11 electoral votes of Arizona to Donald J. Trump. Get to work, everybody. Let's win this thing.
