is deeply pleasant to me it it was just all about race before and now we are building a multi-racial multi-ethnic working class movement of people and it is inviting and warm and that's why we are rising but it's also with with young people if you would i'm i'm gonna be 43 years old pretty soon and if you'd have told me when i was under the age of 30 that a U.S.

president could count as their key constituency, their number one approval demographic, voters under the age of 30, I would have told you that was crazy. When I was a young man in the state legislature in Florida, our political strategy to deal with young voters was to try to get them to not vote.

It was it was consultants would come in and say, well, you know, if you put 84 things on the ballot, maybe one of these young people that wants to show up and vote for Obama will just vote at the top, but then turn in the ballot and they won't get down to the state Senate. They won't get down to the. to the mayor or the city council or the school board.

And that was what we thought winning looked like, discouraging young people from participating. And you know why? Because we weren't offering them that much, actually. When what the conservatives stood for

was more war and inviting more people across our border and selling out time and again and saying that victory was just surrender at a slower pace that was not an appealing idea to young voters but i think we had two conflating facts one you had the other side trying to tell them that if they were uh you know they were either an oppressor or oppressed and that's actually offensive to almost anyone you say it to

And that combined with the crazy gender theory and the identity politics gave us an opportunity and we seized that opportunity because we were fun and we were energetic. If you went to a young Republican meeting back when I was in my 20s, it was boring and everybody laughed. was like wearing name tags and a clip-on tie. And you go to these turning point rallies, and it is the place to be.

It is awesome. It is cool. I've had so many parents and grandparents come up to me and say that the person in their life who they cared about went to a turning point rally with friends and is now picking up a clipboard, downloading an app, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and driving this victory for a generation.

We all think about it in our own lives, you know, what it meant to graduate and walk across the graduation stage with your loved ones there, or going to prom and getting those prom pictures that you might still flip through, or having... the football game where the stands are full and you've had a great athletic achievement, or you're in ROTC and every morning you got out there at 6 a.m.

and you proved to the United States Military Academy or to the Naval Academy that you belonged because you showed that group dedication, they were robbed of leadership opportunities, they were robbed of social opportunities, academic opportunities, and it built resentment. And by the way, how could it not build that resentment? And

When I used to be a young person, there was a resistance to the Republicans because the Republicans were always trying to stop you from doing stuff. You couldn't look at this book. You couldn't read that opinion. There was a sense that the moral majority was limiting of the kind of adolescent experience. And now the political left is the...

movement that embraces the cancel culture and the censorship and the idea that certain ideas are so dangerous that we cannot even confront them or encounter them or deal with them. That is nonsense. We have a generation... We have the most socially interconnected generation in all of human history. They want to engage. They want to talk.
