Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Charlie, I think we need one for July 13th, but I would go through to every presidential assassination all the way back to JFK.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
This is incredible. Yeah, she doesn't even know that. So Lauren has been a Ratwood forever, right?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I have a personal favorite, by the way. My personal favorite was the I believe it was the summer sass. And you did the whole Miami theme. Remember the Miami theme with like all the Miami Vice style, everything a couple of years ago. That's my personal favorite.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
We need to tell the fire marshal, look, it's not like all 20,000. With the exception of when President Trump does victoriously take the stage, you won't have all 20,000 seated at once because there's so many things to do here. There's the vendors. There's media.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Not even like the NRA in their heyday or Heritage or, you know, CPACs generally once a year. So that many times in a single year is it's unprecedented.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Don't worry, Lauren. There isn't an election next year, at least. Well, that's why we're bringing back SAS. So what Lauren does is, and you could see her influence on the events, because what you do is you don't think, You know, a lot of people think, and Charlie, I'm just going to say it, man. I'm just going to say it. We all love you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
But I've seen those pictures of the pre-Lauren turning point events. The team that was there. I never want to. And I'm not dumping any of it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
And just it is not a yeah, this isn't a dig. I don't mean this as a dig in any way. But what you see is that that was like, how can we get this done? How can we make it work? And resources obviously were nowhere where what they are now. But what Lauren has done building off of that, which never would have gotten off the ground, it was bootstrapped. It was bootstrapped at first.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Turning Point was bootstrapped. But now you have this vision for these events. And because, Charlie, you've built the organization to be this level, that there isn't a single area or nook or cranny that you could poke yourself into at these events that
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
doesn't fit one piece of that vision even the flow of the crowd the timing of the events the way all the moving pieces work together it's incredible it's amazing i don't have the eye for it i have no idea for me it's like put up a stage and make sure the audio works you know but you have this this mega vision and now we're all walking through it
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
The rest of the building becomes overflow. I think people will understand. People kind of get that. No, it's just like a Trump rally. But this is really I mean, I've been looking at this. You've been looking at this. This will be President Trump's first public event since Election Day. This is number one. There's been some fundraisers. There's been some galas.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
How great are these graphics ever? This is not the best looking event. How do you do that with just 10 people? How?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I will compare that to like, so I went to the Kamala, I was at obviously these events, but I also went to the Kamala Harris events and I went to her final concert at Philadelphia, the one where like Oprah came and spoke and Beyonce didn't sing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
They have staffs of hundreds and hundreds of people. And the issue there is people were stuck outside. They couldn't get in. The event was terrible. They couldn't, you know, the people didn't even sing. And it was like, it was a complete joke. You're telling me you did all this with a core staff of 10?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Can I ask a question? Can I ask a question? So Lauren, you work these events and these are your visions, right? So you have a different perspective on it from any of us, or if you're a speaker, if you're Charlie, who's always got herding cats and putting out fires as it happens. But Lauren, what's the one thing that you look forward to the most at these events? And you can't say when they're over.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
That scene when RFK Jr. walked out and officially endorsed Donald Trump. At that rally, with the cold sparks behind, that picture, which is a moment in history, was all created by Lauren right here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
There's been, you know, awards and different things he's done. But this is the first event that you could go to and just buy a ticket and walk right in. And that really goes, I got to say, Charlie, that really goes to show not just the importance of turning point and turning point action and what you've done. But America Fest, remember back in 2021 when AmFest was launched right here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Now it's like the iconic. Now it's like the iconic picture. It's like Trump. It's all Lauren.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I mean, and that was in the, what did Biden call it? That was the COVID winter. Yeah, the COVID.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
winter the dark winter and that was like trump is over the movement is over charlie kirk what are you thinking and you my friend took a lot of personal slings and just uh bitterness over people saying charlie why are you still backing this guy why are you doing this it's ridiculous you got to move on he had some good ideas we can keep the hats but we'll change the guy wearing them
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
And you said, no, you said, no, we're going to stick with this and we're going to keep going the way we're going. Something went wrong in 2020. We don't like what happened. We don't like the way it went down. Amfest was launched, I believe, four years ago. This is the fourth one with the vision of this coming.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
And you and the team at Turning Point could see, you didn't know exactly it would be like this, but you could see that there was a light all the way down at the end of the tunnel.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I just think that's so poetic, isn't it? It really is. You know, you can tell how his focus is so locked in with the transition right now, participating in these interviews. In 2016, President Trump did a victory tour of the swing states and the states that he won, of course. And he was going out. He continued the rallies. He's not doing that this time around. He's locked in on the transition.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I think that's smart. I'm glad he's not doing that. No, I get it. No, I think it's smart as well, because a lot of people point out that he said, look, Back at the time, and I'm not going to point fingers, but there was a certain former governor of New Jersey who was basically put in charge of the transition.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
He brought in all of these establishment buddies and all of these types, and that's what we ended up with, names that you don't even hear anymore. Rex Tillerson, James Mattis. You remember some of these names. that don't even exist anywhere in the movement, certainly not in this building.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
And so the fact that he's taking time out of that transition to come all the way across the country, not an easy haul, to Arizona, to America Fest, really just shows a testament to the people of Arizona. But more importantly, I think the people of the organization of Turning Point and what Turning Point Action did on the ground in so many cities.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
One of those cases had a little bit of an issue this morning, so I hear. The one in Georgia?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
No, it's incredible what happened here. And Charlie, there were so many people who were telling you, especially after the last governor's race, you got to pull up out of Arizona. You got to leave. You got to go to Florida. Florida is the freedom state, especially during COVID. Katie Hobbs, all of that nonsense. They said, Charlie, you got to go. And you said, no.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
You decided to stay firmly planted, your feet to the ground. And you said, instead of running, I'm going to get to work. and get to work you did, and get to work this organization did, and get to work this movement did with the leadership of Donald J. Trump.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
And it was all of those people coming together and said, no, we're going to stand in the gap and stand and fight that actually achieved this victory.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
I hate to say this because it's kind of a cliche, but it's it's it's like the Matrix. You know, you can't you can't understand it. You have to experience it. You can't just watch Amfest on TV. And sure, we see, you know, the WWE entrances and we see the the cold spark. Shout out to Lauren on that. and everything else that goes on. But it's not just about the stage events.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
It's about the smaller events, the workshops where people actually put together the tools to figure out how to build the next generation of leaders. It's about the vendors. It's about meeting people and making connections that, oh, by the way, and the left is, and we can talk more about this, the left, by the way, is in meltdown mode because they suddenly realized, wait a minute,
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Charlie Kirk's been building this thing for years. We don't have anything. We were laughing at him. We were making memes about Turning Point. And all of a sudden, Turning Point grew up and beat our pants off. And we have no idea how to respond to it. I will accept every word of that, Jack. Well said. Thank you. Jack, plug your books. Look, we've got Bulletproof here. We've got Unhumans.

What's going on, guys? We've got the book. We've got them over at the table in the vendor section. We'll go get a copy. But, you know, Charlie, is it true, by the way, I did hear there's been some talk about opening up some more seats potentially.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
It's a hilarious story. You know, as everybody knows, Charlie Kirk always has a comeback, right? No matter what lib gets up in his face, Charlie Kirk's always got something to say, some fact, some way to turn a phrase, except for when God wants to give Charlie an even greater challenge and take his voice away, which he did twice this year. Twice. Twice this year.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
No voice. He texts me. I'm on air. He said, Jack, I need you to come to Penn State. And so I give him a call. He hangs up the phone. He texts me back. Jack, I just told you, I have no voice. I can't talk. So we fly up to Penn State. We're there. And I'm like, all right, we're going to do the event. We're going to figure out how to do a Charlie Kirk debate where Charlie can't even talk.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Sign language, gestures. We were thinking of flashcards, maybe. And then eventually, though, Penn State comes up and Noah's out there with the hats and the voter reg. And I think he actually was stapling voter reg to the hats as we threw them out.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
So, Noah, people don't realize this, but Noah, you actually had the opportunity to meet Thomas Matthew Crooks. He came up to your booth. Tell us about that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
Which he didn't know. No, it was before he was an assassin. And by the way, by the way, he was, I'll point this out because there's video of this, he was not walking around with a rifle at that time, was he? No, he was not. No, because you, of course, would have noticed that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Gang's All Here — Live at AmFest 2024
So the big, one of the big questions that's left unanswered, how was it that he was able to get that AR-15 in when he was walking around?
