Chapter 1: What insights does Morgonn McMichael share about campus politics?

16.113 - 21.579 Host

And kids would literally be like, yeah, I'll give you 20 bucks for reparations. And I'm like, what is going on in our society?

0

25.39 - 28.793 Host

All right, guys, we got Morgan here from Turning Point. Thanks for coming on.

0

28.913 - 30.695 Host

Thank you for having me on. Absolutely.

0

30.755 - 32.576 Host

It's been a really fun event. So well done.

0

32.937 - 47.149 Host

Thank you. I know this is my I don't even know my fourth year coming to Turning Point events, how I got involved with everything. So it's fun to see how big our events have gotten and seeing just all the attendees from like little kids all the way up to like our grandparents.

47.169 - 52.454 Host

I know I've never seen an event like that where there'll be like a five year old and then there'll be an 80 year old walking around the same venue.

52.694 - 54.996 Host

That's why I say no one does it like Turning Point USA, to be honest.

Chapter 2: How is Turning Point USA impacting college students?

55.016 - 59.28 Host

You're inclusive of everyone. Exactly. I love it. You just moved to D.C., right?

0

59.46 - 77.836 Host

I did. I moved to D.C. I've been doing a lot of political commentary. I was at the Supreme Court actually a couple weeks ago with the Scermetti case going on, looking at all of the crazy trans activists who want to mutilate our kids. And then the sane parents who don't want to. And it's a really interesting kind of place to be, if I'm honest.

78.396 - 95.187 Host

Because before moving to D.C., I thought it would just be like this kind of liberal hellhole. But it's kind of weird when you see leftists and also conservatives kind of living in harmony. You'll see like a Harris Wall sign on one place. You don't really see a lot of Trump signs, but you know that there's conservatives all around.

0

95.207 - 95.507 Host

So I don't know.

95.527 - 98.87 Host

It's kind of an interesting place. I've only been there for a couple months. But so far, I really love it.

98.99 - 101.231 Host

Yeah, I think the conservatives are more hidden in D.C.

101.331 - 101.792 Host

Definitely.

102.372 - 103.673 Host

D.C. is definitely pretty liberal.

Chapter 3: Why is social media important for Gen Z voters?

117.589 - 118.51 Host

Hunter Biden was there.

0

119.071 - 130.923 Host

And what was so funny is when I saw Harry Sisson post a photo with Hunter Biden, I'm like, did you really think that was a good idea? I actually tweeted and I said, did you ask him about the laptop? Did you ask about, I think you should go up to Joe Biden and ask about Ashley Biden's diary or something.

0

130.983 - 143.555 Host

It just mind boggles me how so many of these paid DNC shills are continually going to the White House, getting paid by them to promote nonsense. I mean, I don't think there was a single masculine man in that arena. Yeah.

0

143.835 - 146.976 Host

I would say if they measured the testosterone levels, it would be pretty low.

0

147.076 - 148.957 Host

I think I have more testosterone than Harry Sisson.

149.017 - 151.438 Host

That's what I tweet. You might. Would you ever debate him?

152.238 - 165.803 Host

Honestly, I would. Actually, I was supposed to go on NewsNation with Harry, but Harry backed out. So I ended up, it was me with the host on NewsNation with this Latino leftist. But Harry wasn't on the show, but he was supposed to be on. So Harry Sisson.

166.448 - 174.437 Host

Yeah, come on, Harry. I had him on my show. And afterwards, I was like, can I line up some debates for you? He's like, yeah, I'll debate anyone. And then just quiet.

174.457 - 182.085 Host

He always falls through. It's like, Harry, what are you doing? If you're going to say all this online, you know, stand up for what you believe in and actually debate some people.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Morgonn face in her sorority?

263.512 - 274.1 Host

I'm so excited for Brett. I think she is going to skyrocket on YouTube with her content. And honestly, what I think is really interesting with the content space right now is I don't think we need to be overtly conservative anymore.

0

274.12 - 292.874 Host

I think a lot of people are kind of tired of the super over political content and instead just live your day to day life, you know, be an influencer, do what you love and just talk about your conservative values and what you love in this nation. And, you know, it's kind of this underlining conservative messaging throughout all of content. And then you can just be entertaining.

0

293.154 - 298.456 Host

We just need to have right-wing entertainment content instead of it just being all of these political pundit kind of shows.

0

298.576 - 309.88 Host

Absolutely. We got to branch off because shout out to today's sponsor, Prolon. If starting the year with a fast feels a little daunting, you're not alone. There's an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful decision in their health just like you.

0

310.14 - 327.549 Host

This is what makes group fasting so powerful and why I'm joining in on Prolon's January Longevity Challenge, which is a coach-led program to set you up for fasting success. Prolon's Fasting Mimicking Diet is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. I got all five boxes here and I'm starting day one tomorrow.

327.669 - 343.057 Host

It's researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute and backed by leading US medical centers. It helps promote healthy blood sugar, enhanced skin appearance, fat loss, and improved energy and focus. It all starts with their five-day program, which contains snacks, soups, and beverages designed to keep the body in a fasting state.

343.217 - 363.337 Host

No guesswork or planning required, which is a relief after a busy holiday. If you guys are ready to make 2025 your healthiest year yet, order your Prolon five-day kit at ProlonLife.com. And they're offering digital social hour listeners 15% off their five-day nutrition program. Use the code DSH at ProlonLife.com. We can't limit ourselves too much, right? Yeah.

365.398 - 365.198 Host

100%.

365.638 - 366.859 Host

Because they'll catch up.

Chapter 5: How does Morgonn view the current political climate in D.C.?

725.098 - 725.499 Host

Which ones?

0

725.894 - 727.495 Host

Oh my gosh. So it's actually high schools.

0

727.595 - 728.156 Host

Oh, high schools.

0

728.236 - 744.066 Host

And it's funny because Turning Point USA has more high school chapters than we do college chapters. And I was speaking at a school and Sacred Heart Preparatory in California was where the event was planned. It's a Catholic high school. And they said that I do not uphold Catholic values. I'm a Protestant Christian myself.

0

744.506 - 762.541 Host

And I thought that that was very funny being in the neighborhood that I actually grew up in as a kid. And then another school in Florida wouldn't let me come on campus. San Jose State had canceled one of my events because the room was double booked, which we know didn't happen. And so they will throw as many stones in my way as they can.

762.581 - 767.124 Host

But at the end of the day, you can't stop free speech and we'll still show up and still do the events, even if it's in the middle of a parking lot.

767.225 - 769.887 Host

Absolutely. Have you guys ever gotten kicked out when you set up and

770.697 - 778.958 Host

You know, we've had a couple of times where they've been told us, like, turn off our mics or that we can't be on campus anymore. Yeah, Penn State. We had to cut our mics and Charlie lost his voice.

779.779 - 789.56 Host

But, you know, I was up there with a megaphone and talking to all the kids, which was honestly one of the most iconic moments, standing on a table with a megaphone, chanting at Penn State students, 3,000 of them, just like in MAGA hats. It's pretty cool.
