I follow politicians on both sides to see what’s up. Galvin Newsome interviews of Charlie are online and Galvin saying his 13 yr old son likes Charlie Kirk? ???

We have a big problem- we need to reach the kids. Here is some horrible news that we need to counter act. Charlie was working on building Turning Points for 12 yrs and there are chapters in over 3000 schools and I really just heard of him a few months ago on social media because hundreds of thousands of people online were talking about the Turning Points Israel debate between pro Israel Josh Hammer and Libertarian Dave Smith where more Republican kids sided with the anti genocide Libertarian Jewish podcaster/comedian/historian. Pro war Republicans, Trump and Netanyahu not happy as Turning points has huge pro Israel donors.

BAD NEWS
From Turning Points:

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Turning Point USA has now received over 32,000 inquiries in a 48-hour time frame to open new campus chapters.

32,000.

Current numbers:
- College: 900
- High school: 1,200
