Turning Point USA is just another Koch Industries Funded Establishment Arm:

Turning Point USA is funded by a variety of right-wing mega-donors and various Koch brothers-affiliated groups, such as the Foundation for Economic Education, DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund.

Foundation for economic Education:

Founded in 1946, FEE was the first modern think tank established in the United States specifically to promote, research and promulgate free market and libertarian ideas. It continues to do so through its monthly magazine, The Freeman, as well as through pamphlets, lectures, and academic sponsorship. It also publishes reprints of classic libertarian texts, and arranges seminars for American public figures. "Additionally, FEE supports and connects our alumni through the FEE Alumni Network, provides professional development opportunities through internships and networking, and recognizes our most extraordinary alumni leaders with the annual Leonard E. Read Distinguished Alumni Award.”

Ties to the Koch brothers:

FEE has received funding from the Charles G. Koch Foundation:

• $31,000 in 2014

• $7,000 in 2010

• $15,767 in 2009

FEE has also received funding from DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund, "two funds that have been closely tied to the Kochs but which obscure the percentage of their grants coming from Koch money.

• $100,000 from Donors Capital Fund in 2014
• $82,600 from DonorsTrust in 2014

• $100,00 from Donors Capital Fund in 2013

• $58,500 from DonorsTrust in 2013

“Most of the speakers we bring to campus are paid for by Turning Point USA but we do [have] several partnerships throughout the year with select organizations,” said Kirk. The Foundation for Economic Education provided its CEO Larry Reed to “speak on free markets and the purpose of limited government” at a TPUSA-sponsored event in April at the University of Colorado at Boulder. FEE is a recipient of donations from the Charles Koch Foundation and from TPUSA donor Dunn’s Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking.

DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund:

The current president and CEO of DCF and DT is Lawson R. Bader, former president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Both funding organizations are "donor-advised funds," which means that the fund creates separate accounts for individual donors, and the donors then recommend disbursements from the accounts to different non-profits. 

DT and DCF made grants of over $148 million in 2011 and 2012, and according to a report by Open Secrets the two funds granted almost $311 million between 2002 and 2010.[5] The Koch brothers and other ultra-wealthy industrial ideologues appear to be cloaking an untold amount of their donations to conservative political outlets through DT and DCF. The obscure Knowledge and Progress Fund, controlled by Charles G. Koch, with Richard Fink as president, has given only to Donors since 2005, according to Mashey.


Reason Foundation:

In addition to traditional funders, TPUSA has a host of event sponsors, many of which are key organizations in the right-wing advocacy movement such as the conservative public policy think tank Heritage Foundation, the nonprofit Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom and the libertarian think tank the Reason Foundation. Kirk said event sponsors typically top out at $5,000-$10,000. 

Koch was for 36 years a trustee of the Reason Foundation, which publishes Reason magazine.) Often incorrectly described as a conservative or a Republican, David Koch was a lifelong libertarian whose work and giving reflected the values of free enterprise and limited government.

Competitive Enterprise Institute:

Oil giant ExxonMobil has been one of CEI's top funders, contributing at least $2.1 million since 1997. [60] Donors Trust (DT) has donated over $4 million to CEI as of 2013.

 DT has been described as the “dark money ATM of the conservative movement” for its ability to take in funds from anonymous donors and distribute them to recipient organizations. 

While the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) doesn't reveal the sources behind its $7 million annual budget, some outlets were able to glimpse a snapshot of CEI's funding in a list of donors to CEI's annual dinner, which included energy companies Marathon Petroleum, Koch Industries, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, and American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM). [61]

Question for Charlie Kirk: “Hello Charlie, thank you for being here. I’m a college Conservative, part of the Turning Point you talk about. I went into college knowing that I would be saddled with student loans, but did so to get a good paying job. What I didn’t foresee was being forced to compete with foreign labor in my own country, labor imported in many cases to drive down wages for graduates like me. You say you’re in favor of the America First Agenda, Charlie, but why do you support the America Last position of ‘stapling of green cards to diplomas’ which has replaced in just four years (from 2009-2013) nearly half a million American jobs? How is making it harder for young people like me to get jobs America First?”

QUESTION IDEA # 16 - FOR KIRK or Others

Professor Robert Putnam, who conducted the largest study ever done on civic engagement in America, found that racial diversity is in fact our weakness and not the ‘strength’ the elites have tried to sell us.
The study determined that the greater the diversity in a community, the less people trust each other and the less they are engaged in their communities.
A recent poll showed that a record 67 million people speak a language other than English at home today which tells us that we don’t even share a language, let alone a culture any longer. The data show that diversity has led us to all of the crazy social justice ethnic conflict that your organization likes to make viral anti-sjw videos about. Diversity, by way of massive waves of legal immigrants and low birth rates, also caused the trouncing republicans experienced recently in Virginia. Republicans will soon forever lose Texas, Arizona, Florida and other states because of forced diversity, and yet they seem to solely focus on taxes and GDP as if it was 1980 when California still had a chance to vote republican.
My question is, how much exactly are you getting paid to push milquetoast libertarian talking points while the country slowly transforms into Brazil 2.0 around you?

Reportedly there will be two lines for Charlie Kirk Q&A - One line for left wing people and one line for "alt-right." This was according to a TP USA employee at the event right now. Get in the left-wing line

Make sure to film each and every question just in case the one stream we have goes down

Charlie Kirk is capitualting to us! He apologized after Tucker Called him out on F-1 Visas! This is good - This is exactly what we want. Push them to a true America first position or replace them.

What a fucking amazing night

TP USA Confirmed shifting people around in line - CHARLIE WAS CALLED OUT ON IT!!!!

Charlie would never debate someone to the right of him. I have forgotten more about demographic voting statistics than he has ever known.

Charlie Says he supports the Raise Act - but this is a new view of his - three weeks ago he called the idea of limiting legal immigration a "wonky idea" - WE HAVE THE CLIP

Bruh Cubans vote at 54% for republican but Latinos in Florida are at 62% for DEMOCRATS! - Overall Latinos have voted democrat 70% every election since 1968 - WTF are you talking about CHARRRLAAAYYY??!!

Tomorrow someone must read and ask about some of the Charlie Kirk anti-Trump tweets.... ALSO ask him about his pivot on Immigration from calling limiting legal immigration a
"wonky idea" to suddenly supporting the RAISE ACT. Ask him if his new position is authentic based on the quick pivot.
