00:01:51.000This was not at all what I thought I'd be doing, and I've loved every second of it.
00:01:55.000Honestly, I've met the coolest people.
00:01:59.000I've learned so much about the behind the scenes, and most importantly, To be out and about, like, boots on the ground in Atlanta and Charlotte and Pennsylvania.
00:02:07.000And just talking to people, people just like me and you who, honestly, it sounds like a talking point, but it's not.
00:02:12.000Just love this country and are concerned for what we have seen in the last four years and what could happen.
00:02:17.000And it's just been so cool to, like, galvanize and to see people finding that courage to say, yes, I know we need a change and it's okay that I'm going to vote for Donald Trump.
00:03:04.000I saw it right away and tried to take a deep breath because I'm like, okay, don't start posting videos until you take a deep breath and think about all of this.
00:03:11.000And then I'm like, let me make sure I have the full context.
00:03:13.000I listened to Alyssa, whatever her name is, listened to Alyssa's question.
00:03:17.000There's no way to spin it, except for the fact I bet Mark would love to have a couple of words back and say things differently.
00:03:49.000And it's kind of like, okay, let's go back and fix, well, what Joe Biden meant to say?
00:03:54.000It was garbage when it You said what you said.
00:03:56.000And so I'm just annoyed at how divisive he was with that comment and in general how that party has been and how that campaign has been.
00:04:09.000When they lecture us the other day, lecture the riot about it, and let's come together more, but they're the ones that have used the terms like Hitler and Nazi and fascist and garbage from the sitting president of the United States and now saying that The former president, potential next president, does not surround himself with smart or strong women.
00:04:29.000It's unnecessary, it's divisive, and most importantly, it's wrong.
00:04:32.000I've been working directly with all women, literally dozens and dozens of women, on the Trump campaign.
00:04:39.000And they're incredible women, and they're young, or they're not so young, they're my age, but they're smart and they're strong just for saying yes to working with Donald Trump.
00:04:55.000We'll take that gift because now we're going to show them and prove even further that there's a lot of strong, intelligent women who get it.
00:05:03.000And that's why we're voting for Donald Trump.
00:05:04.000And talk about that because there is this message that you must vote for Kamala Harris just because you are a woman.
00:05:11.000Just kind of help us unpack the message you are bringing to women on the fence.
00:05:18.000But they did that with Hillary Clinton, too, right?
00:05:20.000And then a couple weeks ago, you have Barack Obama saying you must vote for Kamala because she's Black.
00:06:10.000And then you go, and then you realize that when you speak up, just by me getting to talk to you and the women that are going to see it, and even men who have wives and daughters, right?
00:06:21.000We've been saying it on the road with Laura Trump and Elizabeth Pipko and Lynn Patton and everybody, courage is contagious.
00:06:28.000And as women, that's what we want to tell other women.
00:06:30.000Even if you don't vote for Donald Trump, go with what's in your heart.
00:06:47.000I come out against it, not that forcefully on the Megyn Kelly show.
00:06:50.000And I say that Kamala Harris wants women to lie to their husbands.
00:06:55.000And the Democrats got really mad at me saying, how dare you want to control women?
00:07:00.000I said, no, I think it's bad that the Democrat Party wants to create acrimony in families and that their way to get political power is to try to have deceit and underhandedness between what I believe is a holy union in front of God.
00:07:15.000And the Democrats lose their mind, like, how dare you say that it's a bad thing?
00:08:24.000And I just think, does their campaign believe that that many women...
00:08:30.000Are just gonna bite on that low-hanging fruit.
00:08:33.000Maybe, but for me and a mother of two young adult women, my daughters are 18 and 22, and then for my son, who's 20, to see something like that, I mean, I plan on having conversations with them about that ad.
00:09:36.000Yeah, and I just also, the way that they portray the man as if he's just some sort of a fool and an idiot, kind of just like a happy-go-lucky guy.
00:09:46.000And the Democrats do not believe in the nuclear family, and they've already destroyed it in the macro, and now they're trying to destroy it in the micro.
00:09:53.000In no political situation should you want to undermine a union between a husband and a wife.
00:10:48.000At the end of the day, of course, they're all super PACs, they're actors, etc.
00:10:51.000But I do think this, that it goes back to the point of fear.
00:10:55.000And because of how they have run this election, and frankly, how it's been going since 2015, since Donald Trump came down the golden escalators, and the fear tactics, which have worked incredibly, these are the kind of things that they have been doing, right to try to make it make it so you're afraid to say here's why I actually do believe in Donald Trump here's why as a woman of color I do think it's okay
00:11:23.000and actually it's the only way based on how people of color have been treated in these Democrat-run cities for half of a century.
00:11:31.000So there's this clip going viral online of a dozen women being asked the following question Do we need men?
00:12:58.000I wish that we voted for what is best for the country.
00:13:01.000How do we best close that gender divide in the next couple days?
00:13:04.000Honestly, I think the biggest reason for that is social media and the messages that are put out there on TikTok.
00:13:09.000My kids are 22, 20, and 18, and my daughter, the oldest in particular, she'll tell me what she sees because she tends to be very conservative on her own.
00:13:18.000She went on her own and started to learn and read and watch.
00:13:21.000And I encouraged her a lot to do that as a teenager.
00:13:24.000And I think it's up to the parents to really guide our kids, our young women, and say, This is what they're telling you on TikTok, on social media, and these are the facts.
00:13:36.000Now decide for yourself, because I'll say that was something my parents did really, I think, well with me, is to not even tell me how they voted.
00:13:43.000I asked them, and they're like, it's none of your business.
00:13:45.000Go do the research and figure out who you want to vote for, why you align, And follow that.
00:13:50.000And I think that's actually a responsibility as parents.
00:13:52.000It's not to say, believe this, but show them the true facts, how to research them themselves, and then make an educated decision because people aren't making educated decisions.
00:14:02.000Charlie, I watch all the stuff that you do on the college campuses.
00:14:06.000My 75-year-old mother calls me the other day and she's like, did you see this one?
00:14:10.000And I think that's proof that these kids aren't even necessarily like, it isn't like We're good to go.
00:14:26.000And faith and church and things that I think, based on what you said, the Democrats not wanting the nuclear family to exist, not wanting us to talk about God and faith.
00:14:36.000Look what Kamala Harris said at her rally in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago when they yelled Jesus is Lord about abortion.
00:15:24.000I talk about it with my parents every single day.
00:15:26.000It almost gets me choked up because I was so fearful when I said goodbye and stood up for myself and sued ESPN and Disney.
00:15:33.000I was so scared because I had this great life and making money and my dream job.
00:15:38.000And then you realize you can't be quiet anymore.
00:15:39.000And you've not talked about this before, but I have noticed, especially in just the last six to eight weeks when it comes to, okay, do I put on this pink women for Trump jacket and post it, right?
00:15:50.000Do I talk to Charlie Kirk about these things?
00:15:52.000Every time I've just let it go, And let God guide me.
00:15:57.000The things that come from it are beautiful.
00:16:00.000Most importantly, the people I've met, the experiences I've been able to have, and to find even more good and love in this country than the Democrats would like for us to believe.
00:16:10.000There's so much good, and I would not be here right now, literally or figuratively in any way, If not for my faith in God and letting go and realizing that we're all going to get the hate.
00:16:21.000But what's bigger than that is all the good that comes with it.
00:16:24.000And if we can share our faith, it's such a blessing.
00:17:02.000Again, today, over 100,000 people voted as of noon.
00:17:07.000For people listening in Georgia, it's not too late if you haven't already voted.
00:17:11.000If you're in line this afternoon, you'll be allowed to stay until you vote.
00:17:15.000But we're continuing to track a significant lead, 75,000, 80,000 vote lead, we believe, for President Trump in the early and absentee voting together.
00:17:26.000If we have a We should be in good shape.
00:17:45.000A lot of people came out early and banked their votes.
00:17:47.000I'd say we're at the 10-yard line, but it's going to take those Election Day voters to put us over the top, put us in the end zone, and make sure that our 16 electoral votes go for President Trump.
00:17:59.000Let's compare and contrast parts of the state and early voting with 2020.
00:18:03.000So first, tell us the story that was in 2020 and then what we are seeing today.
00:18:07.000So what we saw in 2020 was very significant turnout in the Black community.
00:18:13.000For a Democrat to win statewide here in Georgia, you generally need 30% of the overall vote to be Black voters, and then that Democrat needs to get over 90% of that vote.
00:18:26.000Here in 2024, we're sitting on about 26% of the total vote are black voters.
00:18:32.000So you're not seeing places like Clayton County, Georgia, Albany, Georgia, turn out with the same enthusiasm that they turned out four years ago.
00:18:40.000By contrast, rural Georgia, really the base and bedrock of the Republican Party here in Georgia, is turning out in incredible numbers.
00:18:49.000I believe Towns County, Georgia, up in the North Georgia mountains, is the highest turnout county in America right now.
00:18:56.000Almost 70% of all registered voters in Towns County have voted.
00:19:21.000And of course, we can't just bank on that.
00:19:25.000We've got to make sure our people continue to turn out in very big numbers.
00:19:29.000So that's the big story right now, is we're not seeing that heavy turnout in the Democratic-leaning areas, but very heavy turnout in rural Georgia, in ex-urban areas around Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta, and Macon, that all trend Republican.
00:19:44.000So let me ask you, Josh, what is the number?
00:19:48.000What is the magic number that we need to hit on Election Day?
00:19:51.000So we're looking, if we end today with about 4 million, which is where I think we're going to be, we're going to be looking for an Election Day turnout In excess of a million, that election day turnout should be more Republican than the early voting and absentee voting and should put a significant distance between President Trump and Vice President Harris if we get that turnout on election day.
00:20:16.000So what I'm looking for is that we get over a million, that we crest the five million total vote mark.
00:20:21.000I think if we do that, it's going to be a good night for us, an early night for us here in Georgia.
00:20:26.000Blake, would you like to chime in for a second?
00:20:28.000So I guess just a natural question a lot of people are asking, Josh, is we have seen that the Election Day vote is more Republican in past elections, but a lot of that was because we weren't doing early voting.
00:20:52.000So almost 20% of the people that have turned out in this election so far in Georgia did not vote in the 2020 election.
00:21:01.000Over 600,000 votes out of the roughly 4 million that will probably be cast by the end of the day today.
00:21:07.000Probably closer to 700,000 if that trend continues.
00:21:11.000So those obviously are not voters that voted on election day in 2020.
00:21:16.000So we're not cannibalizing that election day vote.
00:21:19.000The last time I looked, It's about 8.5% of the early voters are Republican-modeled voters that voted early this time that voted Election Day in 2020.
00:21:31.000So about 91% of our Election Day voters are available for Election Day, which is why I'm optimistic that our Election Day turnout is going to look very similar to how it's looked in previous election cycles.
00:21:56.000We've got a lot of new voters that voted in this election.
00:21:59.000We have a lot of people that voted absentee four years ago because, of course, we were dealing with COVID that have transferred to early in-person voters.
00:22:10.000So we haven't really seen that much Election Day voters moving to early voting.
00:22:19.000Nine in ten of our Election Day voters are still available.
00:22:21.000On the Democrat side of the equation, Black female voters have turned out in very significant numbers, while Black male voters have largely been staying at home.
00:22:32.000That's what's been depressing the Black vote.
00:22:34.000So we're going into Election Day, I believe, with an energized, A population of voters who are ready to turn out.
00:22:41.000They want to turn out on election day.
00:22:43.000And with Democrats approaching a ceiling.
00:22:46.000So again, this is all dependent on us successfully turning the vote out.
00:22:51.000That's why I'm going to Gainesville, Georgia tomorrow, Hall County.
00:22:57.000We're going to run through the tape over the next four days because we have to keep pushing our people to the polls.
00:23:02.000Again, I'm optimistic, but that optimism is fueled by a belief that we are going to be able to successfully turn out these people and crest that 5 million voter mark on Tuesday.
00:23:13.000So, and that other question people have is the law fair in Fulton County.
00:23:18.000Stacey Abrams seems a little muted this cycle versus prior.
00:24:07.000She delivered two senators and electoral votes to Biden.
00:24:10.000I mean, she orchestrated all that, but it was very tricky, right?
00:24:14.000Josh, it was not legitimate what she did.
00:24:17.000So there is some fear and a question is, has the Kemp machine been activated?
00:24:23.000Even if it's not fully activated, it's helpful to have an infrastructure and you feel better with that turnout operation than what you saw in 2020?
00:24:32.000Yeah, everyone's rowing in the same direction.
00:24:35.000The governor's political machinery is really focused on some close state legislative races.
00:24:40.000But again, that's turning out voters in areas that we need to turn out.
00:24:44.000And one thing that's really different this time, we've got this great deployment from Turning Point, Faith and Freedom Coalition, Greater Georgia.
00:24:54.000We've got a constellation of Center-right groups that are working together to make sure we get our vote out.
00:25:01.000And that's a big difference from four years ago.
00:25:03.000Yeah, and so then it's, I mean, Josh, we don't have to overcomplicate it.
00:25:07.000It's going to be a matter of who can get human beings out to vote coming this Tuesday, right?
00:25:11.000What are the hot spots for our audience?
00:25:14.000We need to run up the score in the rules, but we also, in the exurbs of Atlanta, we need to have a good election day as well.
00:26:18.000They're 100% of our people, and we're working to get out the vote in those areas of the state as well.
00:26:22.000I'm going to McDonough tonight for an event.
00:26:25.000Of course, President Trump's coming to Macon, and I believe he's coming to Macon because he wants to activate those areas in the 8th Congressional District, right there in the Valdosta area in southeastern Georgia.
00:26:37.000So a lot of things are in the works that I believe are going to continue to move those voters forward.
00:27:02.000Blake, can you talk about really quick, it's so easy to talk about the presidency, we might be able to sneak a couple Senate races across the finish line.
00:27:09.000Yeah, and that's so important, not just, like, one, we just need to get the Senate, and we have good odds on that, because we have free pickup in West Virginia, we're looking strong in Montana, but you never know, sometimes things go wrong.
00:28:37.000If we can get Trump over the hump by 2% or 3%, one, our election night is a lot less sweaty and is a lot more fun, and two, you get...
00:28:45.000All of that spillover, you make it so Trump comes in with energy, he comes in with a mandate, he comes in with the ability to say, this is the way it's going to be done.
00:28:53.000Whereas if he just sneaks over the line, they already have the groundwork in place to start mucking everything up, making it way more difficult.
00:28:59.000We want a fun presidency where we accomplish things.
00:29:02.000Yeah, and look, they're going to fight, but if we have margins in the Senate, you lose a Murkowski, you lose a Collins because they won't vote for you, you're still okay.
00:29:56.000We made gains in the House and the Senate.
00:29:58.000It was such an upset, and if we can deliver that upset again, we come in with momentum, and I think great things could happen if we close the deal.
00:30:07.000We don't drop the ball like the guy...
00:30:09.000They had another one of those NFL players.
