[00:45] THE DEATH OF CHARLIE KIRK TO

[00:48] PROVIDE SUCH A BOOST TO YOUR

[00:50] ORGANIZATION BUT IT TRULY IS

[00:52] AMAZING WHAT IS HAPPENING.

[00:56] >> YES ABSOLUTELY.

[00:57] I APPRECIATE HAVING ME, JON FOR

[00:59] THIS IS SOMETHING OUT IN THE

[01:00] NORTHEAST WE ARE SEEING AN

[01:01] EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF STUDENTS

[01:03] WANTING TO GET INVOLVED SINCE

[01:05] SEPTEMBER 10 WE HAVE HAD A 128

[01:08] NEW CHAPTERS FORMED IN THE

[01:10] NORTHEAST PRESENTS A NUMBER

[01:11] THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW

[01:12] SO FOR US, THIS IS OUR TURNING

[01:15] POINT.

[01:15] THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO

[01:17] STEP UP, BE READY AND CONTINUE

[01:19] TO BUILD THESE CONSERVATIVE

[01:20] MOVEMENT.

[01:21] >> WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THESE NEW

[01:24] CHAPTERS?

[01:24] I MEAN THEY ARE COMING ONLINE

[01:28] HAS THEIR ORGANIZED SYLLABUS

[01:29] FORGIVEN THEM UP AND RUNNING HOW

[01:31] DO YOU WORK IT?

[01:33] EXITS THE FIELD REPRESENTATIVE

[01:34] THE WAY I DO IT OUT HERE WE  

[01:37] WANT.

[01:38] LEADERS RUNNING OUR CHAPTERS

[01:39] STUDENT LEADERS WHO CAN BUILD

[01:40] AND GROW THE MESSAGE ON THEIR

[01:41] CAMPUS BUT FOR ME AS A

[01:43] REPRESENTATIVE WHAT I WANT TO DO

[01:45] IS GIVE THEM ALL OF THE

[01:46] RESOURCES TO FORM THE CHAPTER

[01:48] AND THEN WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS

[01:50] THEMSELVES TO GET OFFICIALLY

[01:51] RECOGNIZED AND THEN GET TO WORK

[01:52] FROM THERE AND BUILD, HAVE

[01:56] ACTIVISM EVENTS BRING PEOPLE

[01:58] TOGETHER TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS

[01:59] BECAUSE CLEARLY RIGHT NOW WE ARE

[02:00] NOT HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

[02:03] JON: THE GUY WHO WAS ACCUSED OF

[02:05] AN ENTIRELY KIRK'S LIFE DID NOT

[02:08] WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

[02:10] ARE YOU SENSING ANY FEAR AMONG

[02:12] NEW MEMBERS?

[02:13] THAT WAS A VIOLENT END TO

[02:14] CHARLIE'S LIFE.

[02:17] IS IT ANYONE AFRAID OR JUST FULL

[02:18] SPEED AHEAD LET'S GET GOING

[02:22] HERE?

[02:23] >> JON, WHAT I'VE BEEN SEEING IS

[02:26] THESE STUDENTS ARE MORE

[02:27] MOTIVATED THAN EVER TO CONTINUE

[02:29] THE MISSION I THINK BECAUSE OF

[02:30] THIS EVENT THEY WANT TO VOICE

[02:34] THEIR BELIEFS ON CAMPUS BUT WITH

[02:36] THAT TOO WE NEED TO HAVE THAT

[02:39] DIALOGUE.

[02:40] FOR ME AND THE TERRITORY I COVER

[02:43] IT'S NOT CONSERVATISM BUT WHAT

[02:45] WE WANT TO DO IS BRING

[02:47] LIKE-MINDED AND OPEN MINDED

[02:48] STUDENTS TOGETHER SO THESE

[02:49] LEADERS ARE JUST LOOKING TO HAVE

[02:50] CONVERSATION ON CAMPUS WE NEED

[02:52] TO BUILD BRIDGES WITH EACH OTHER

[02:55] OR WE CAN FIND COMMONALITY.

[02:56] WE ARE NOT DOING THAT THROUGHOUT

[02:58] THE COUNTRY WE ARE TO POLARIZE

[03:00] POLITICALLY WHETHER THAT BE

[03:01] WHETHER YOU ARE INSIDE A OR SIDE

[03:03] B THAT'S NOT A SURPRISING THING

[03:05] TO SAY.

[03:06] WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS HAVE A

[03:08] CONVERSATION SO THE STUDENTS ARE

[03:10] NOT BACKING DOWN.

[03:10] THEY ARE NOT AFRAID I'VE HAD

[03:13] GROUPS THAT WANTED TO DO

[03:15] ACTIVITIES TWO OR THREE TIMES A

[03:16] MONTH THEY ARE MESSAGING ME

[03:18] NONSTOP SIN WE ARE GOING TO DO

[03:20] TWO OR 3A WEEK AND WE ARE NOT

[03:21] SLOWING DOWN IN THE EAST.

[03:24] JON: ALL KIND OF PUSHED BACK IF

[03:25] ANY ARE YOU GETTING FROM HIGH

[03:26] SCHOOL AND COLLEGE OF

[03:28] MINISTRATIONS?

[03:28] ARE THEY PUTTING UP ROADBLOCKS

[03:30] FOR YOU?

[03:32] >> EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I

[03:34] HEARD THE COLLEGE

[03:34] ADMINISTRATIONS DON'T REALLY

[03:35] MAKE IT EASY TO GET THESE GROUPS

[03:37] OFF THE GROUND AND RECOGNIZE

[03:39] INSTANTLY.

[03:40] I'M EXTERNALLY DIPLOMATIC WITH

[03:41] IT, THE KIDS ARE TO THE OTHER

[03:43] REPS OUT HERE WE WANT TO WORK

[03:44] WITH THE SCHOOLS WE DO NOT GIVE

[03:46] THEM AN EXCUSE TO SAY THIS IS

[03:47] WHAT WE DON'T TURNING POINT USA

[03:49] IN OUR COLLEGES.

[03:51] I THINK AND NOW I'VE HAD A LOT

[03:53] MORE OF THE ADMINISTRATORS BE

[03:55] ACCOMMODATING WITH BOOKING

[03:58] TABLES, ROOMS, HAVING

[03:59] CONVERSATIONS.

[04:01] I HOPE THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN

[04:04] MAINTAIN POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

[04:05] WITH EVERY SCHOOL THAT I WORK

[04:06] WITH AN EYE CAN SPEAK FOR THE

[04:07] OTHER REPS IN THE NORTHEAST THEY

[04:08] WANT THE SAME THING.

[04:11] WE ARE GOING TO SHOW THEM WHAT

[04:13] WE ARE.

[04:14] THERE'S A LOT OF FALSE

[04:15] ASSUMPTIONS OUT HERE AS TO WHAT

[04:17] TURNING POINT REPRESENTS.

[04:19] BUT WE WANT TO TELL THEM WHO WE

[04:21] ARE THE CONSERVATIVE VALUES WERE

[04:22] LOOKING TO BRING TO THE CAMPUS

[04:24] AND WE WANT OPEN DIALOGUE WHERE

[04:25] THERE IS NOT GOING TO BEAT

[04:27] VIOLENCE, WE CAN ACTUALLY BE

[04:29] CIVIL AND AT THE END OF THE DAY

[04:31] WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WE HAVE TO

[04:32] BE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER.

[04:34] THE STUDENTS ON THE OTHER HAND

[04:35] YOU HAVE THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE

[04:38] MINDED TO SEEING US ON CAMPUS

[04:39] THEY WILL SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO

[04:41] SAY BUT WE WANT TO HAVE THE

[04:43] CONVERSATIONS IF YOU'RE JUST

[04:44] GOING TO TALK OR BE THE KEYBOARD

[04:45] WARRIOR, KEEP GOING WE ARE HERE

[04:48] TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH

[04:50] PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HEAR AND GO

[04:51] FROM THERE.

[04:53] JON: TURNING POINT
