I don't love the new kind of influencer craze where everyone just wants to be an influencer. They're going to kind of film themselves. I encourage anyone that wants to get involved in politics. You have to cut your teeth in the grassroots of politics. This is something I talk about all the time with our Turning Point Action team. You have to do an election cycle where you're doing thankless work.

It's not all just about being popular and taking selfies and doing TikTok live streams. Have you knocked on doors? I got my start knocking on doors in my own free time in 2010 for Congressman Mark Kirk in the Illinois 10th Congressional District for making phone calls.

I was such a believer in this that after football practice, I would have my parents drive me to the Illinois GOTV Republican Party Victory Center to go make calls from 630 to 8. I set the record for the most amount of phone calls that were made. On Saturdays, the day after football games, in the fall,

Instead of just taking the day off, I would go into the Illinois GOTV Victory Center and just make calls for Mark Kirk. I think Mark Kirk actually became a U.S. Senator in 2010. No relation. So if you want to be popular in politics, go do the work. Where do you live, Jordan? Arizona. Arizona. Perfect. So, Jordan, you can get involved with Turning Point Action. Here's my advice to you, Jordan.

Become a grunt work machine for the Andy Biggs for governor campaign. Knock on the most. We're actually. Yeah, please tell me.

Awesome. Phenomenal. So glad you're going to the rally. That's terrific. Make the rally a starting point for all of your engagement, for all of your activism. And again, people should come to our Andy Biggs rally, the Biltmore Resort tomorrow. It's going to be amazing. But say, hey, I'm going to go knock on a thousand doors. I'm going to go make phone calls. Become a grassroots machine.

And there will be an entire tent there where you can sign up to become a volunteer and to become a ballot chaser. And Jordan, you're doing great. And thank you for your involvement. But my biggest piece of criticism to most young people when they want to get involved in politics, they want to be famous. No.

You've got to at least spend – I spent five to seven years just in the thankless grassroots. And then I was like, oh, I guess I've got to go start social media accounts. I didn't start a Facebook page until like 2014, 2015, well, like three years into starting Turning Point USA. I was too busy traveling the country, raising money. I mean, I was all over the place. And now kids show up.

They're like, oh, I want to be famous. Like, hold on a second. You got to calm down. You got to go do the work. You got to cut your teeth. You got to knock on doors. You got to chase ballots. You got to make phone calls. You do not know anything about politics until you've had to go knock on 100 doors and only 10 of them are answered.
