Hey guys, what is up? Happy Friday. Today I am talking to my good friend Charlie Kirk of Turning

Turning Point USA. He just got a new podcast that you guys should go subscribe to. He of course

travels the country all the time talking about conservative values and we are going to talk about

conservatism and what it looks like for us to be kind of on the front

lines of that, especially him and how we relate to these younger generations that seem to not

really know what conservatism is or why they should buy into it and why that work is really

important. Now I am going to bring in my friend Charlie Kirk. Charlie,

thank you so much for joining me. Yeah, of course. Thank you, big fan of your podcast. So thanks for

having me. Yeah. Okay, tell everyone, well, I'm sure most people listening right now know exactly who

you are and what you do, But tell everyone a little bit about your

background, turning point, how you started this whole thing that is now a massive movement.

Well, thank you. I mean, I started Turning Point USA when I was 18 years old. I had no connections,

no money and no idea what I was doing. But I had this kind of crazy idea that young people could be conservative and that we needed

to do more, that our generation didn't have to kind of fall in this radical leftist direction.

The great irony is I never went to college and to start a college movement, which is kind of in the fun

kind of twisted. And yeah, it's just grown now to 1400 high school and college campuses.

Yeah. We have an amazing team, tons of spirit, lots of energy and just like really, honestly,

just really blessed and super thankful and lucky to have been able to have

the success we've been able to have so you were 18 when you started it how old are you now

I'm 25 now 25 so it's been about seven years could you have imagined that it would grow this

much and really this quickly relative to how long it typically takes these

kinds of organizations to grow? No, I didn't even know things could grow to be this big.
