Discussion on Conservative Leadership Summit

What are you hoping that the

President gets out of these interactions?

Well, I first want to take a step back

and just give Candace Owens credit

for changing the national conversation around these issues

from a conservative kind of perspective

over the last year.

When I first met Candace,

one of the first things she said is she said,

Charlie, I think we can have

a young black leadership summit

that can be a lot bigger than

any of the pundits or the consultants would ever dream.

And I mean, tomorrow,

400 plus young black leaders from across the country,

that's an accomplishment,

especially of a conservative tilt, if you will.

And the number could have been much higher.

That's right.

And so the number could have been higher,

and it was the last minute influx of interest.

And we had probably 5x that in applicants

and in inquiries.

But what Candace Owens and our urban engagement director, Brandon Tatum,

have done at Turning Point USA to

really garner more interest amongst the black community for conservative values,

I think it's worth having the conversation.

And it's something that,

given all the recent news and attention around these issues,

I think is something that will be quite interesting tomorrow.
