Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.
Thank you, Charlie! Thank you, Charlie! Thank you, Charlie! Thank you, Charlie!
Thank you, Charlie! Thank you, everybody. The real thank you is the Turning Point team that worked their tail off this last year. That's who you should be applauding. By the way, I like this touch. Look at all these students that we have at Turning Point. Look at this. I like that. They helped win the election, everybody. Young people moved by 30 points this election cycle. I'll tell you what. The kids are all right. Welcome, everybody. It feels good to win back our country. I'll tell you, this has been a difficult and challenging year in so many different ways. And we have to think back to where we were, as the video said, in January of 2021. January 7th of 2021. They said the MAGA movement was dead. They said that Donald Trump will never have a political future.
Joe Biden was coming in and putting people in prison for going into the Capitol Rotunda and praying. Joe Biden was mandating the vaccine, keeping the border completely and totally wide open. We were seeing our country disappear and vanish from us. But here's where you come in. For every single one of you in this audience that never wavered, that always had the president's back, that continued to support him, you guys are the beginning portion of the greatest political comeback in American history. Look at what we are up against because it defies any sort of human reason. From the lawfare, they try to put Donald Trump in prison for 700 years. Every major tech company banned Donald Trump from their platform. Donald Trump was banned from Facebook. He was banned from Google. He was banned from Pinterest because he's like a big Pinterest guy. He was banned from Spotify. He couldn't even listen to Phantom of the Opera. They did everything they could to make him disappear. But there was a problem.
Is that you could put Donald Trump in exile at Mar-a-Lago. But you can't make 75, 80 million people disappear. Is that they can make him as if, okay, we're going to try to solve this problem. But what are you going to do? with the people of this country and that's where all of you that continue to do the work you entered we entered front stage and it was difficult we were told that this was never going to happen that the democrat party was immovable for all of you on campuses that continue to fight for conservative causes that were graded differently kicked out of class that were smeared that were slandered it was as if there was no immediate hope but you guys had faith And faith not just that we could take back our country. And if we are honest with ourselves, we cannot take credit for what happened on November 5th. The person, or more importantly, who deserves credit, is God Almighty for saving this country and giving us four years of Donald Trump. We didn't earn it. We worked out of obedience, but we were inches away from a civil war.
And Donald Trump just so happened to turn his head at a specific time to look at a PowerPoint. I mean, I've been to a lot of MAGA rallies. How many MAGA rallies does he do a PowerPoint presentation? And he just happened to turn his head at that specific moment and that bullet whizzed by and grazed his ear.
