00:01:42.000We're really building up to the climax here.
00:01:44.000Your speech last night was a night with a lot of barn burners.
00:01:49.000I mean, Tucker Carlson gave an amazing speech yesterday in Georgia, and I thought your speech was right on par with that.
00:01:57.000So we wouldn't want to lose your voice, although I will admit it will be really funny if we're winning on election night and you're there being like, this is so great, everybody.
00:02:33.000But Blake, the noteworthy news is worth examining and diving into is what Kamala Harris did on CNN, which very well should have been just a...
00:03:27.000So let's just go and do another town hall with CNN. I think this is literally what they scheduled because they couldn't agree to a second debate, so she was just going to go on CNN by herself.
00:03:38.000You have Anderson Cooper, a nice, good regime liberal.
00:03:42.000He's going to ask you all the questions you want to hear.
00:03:44.000And you just get an hour and 15 with Anderson to pitch to the audience.
00:03:49.000And, you know, I feel like even before we show Kamala's clips, I think the best thing to do is to just show how CNN's own liberals were reacting to it after this is over.
00:04:01.000This is David Axelrod, a former staffer in the Obama administration, clearly wants Kamala to win.
00:04:36.000And not only that, there was another question also related to that where an audience member asked her how she would handle anti-Semitism on campus.
00:04:44.000And we don't have that clip, Charlie, because it is too long.
00:04:47.000Her answer was over five minutes long, according to the New York Times.
00:04:51.000I actually, I want to read the New York Times summary of this.
00:05:00.000Ms. Harris got one fairly straightforward question from a Jewish independent voter about how she would deal with anti-Semitism on campus.
00:05:07.000In an answer that stretched for more than five minutes, she briefly touched on hate crimes, but then jumped into a discursive tangent that addressed Mr. Trump's reported invocations of Hitler, his relationship with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, and his actions during the coronavirus pandemic. and his actions during the coronavirus pandemic.
00:05:26.000It was just all of these rambling answers.
00:06:17.000Is there something you can point to in your life, political life or in your life in the last four years, that you think is a mistake that you have learned from?
00:06:32.000They range from, you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know you make lots of mistakes, too.
00:06:39.000In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues, and I think that is very important.
00:06:54.000It's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question.
00:07:00.000That was one of the worst answers in the history.
00:07:04.000So, just be clear, she does not think she's made any mistakes.
00:07:06.000And this is the easiest question to answer, because you can answer it in a way where the audience would draw sympathy with you and actually gain in standing.
00:07:14.000What she should have said is, honestly, Anderson, early in my career, I pushed myself too hard, and I didn't put my health first, and now I really hit a good pace.
00:07:43.000Instead, that might have been, Blake, one of the worst answers in the history I mean, not only was it a non-answer, it was like, I've done nothing wrong.
00:07:52.000It was a non-answer, and also, like, it was almost passive-aggressive at the end.
00:07:57.000But she actually, she does give an answer.
00:07:59.000Her answer is, like, sometimes it's a mistake not to try to answer questions that you're not prepared for, implicitly, like this one, and just stares at him after she says that.
00:08:15.000Again, we can't play the whole thing, but another thing the New York Times flagged was she would get asked about a million different issues.
00:08:23.000She would get asked about, you know, would you expand the Supreme Court?
00:08:26.000Do you want to raise taxes on people making over 500k?
00:08:30.000Should America pay for all the benefits for the illegals crossing the border?
00:08:37.000Her answer is boiled down to, Donald Trump would be worse.
00:08:41.000And that's just her answer to everything.
00:08:44.000This is flagged by our friend Mark Halpern last night, that there's been a clear pivot by the Kamala campaign to just say the Hitler word over and over again.
00:09:46.000We have to make them think like the Holocaust is about to happen.
00:09:51.000Can you imagine your child being lost alone in the woods for nine days?
00:09:55.000The new movie Lost on a Mountain in Maine, produced by Sylvester Stallone, is the inspiring true story of 12-year-old Don Fenler, separated from his family in a fast-moving storm and lost in the remote wilderness of northern Maine.
00:10:09.000For nine days, he fights to stay alive with no food or proper clothing.
00:10:12.000He didn't even know the danger he was in.
00:10:14.000By the way, as a parent, this would be just our worst nightmare.
00:10:16.000Don's disappearance captured national headlines, sparking a massive search and rescue effort with hundreds of volunteers, including his own father, who was afraid he'd never see his son again.
00:10:26.000Don't miss the inspirational family adventure film of the year, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, from Blue Fox Entertainment, coming to theaters nationwide on November 1st.

00:10:41.000I just want to read this one email from Larry.
00:10:44.000By the way, we're getting thousands of these emails, and I think I at least have a thousand in Arizona alone, which means that Who knows how many thousands of new votes there are?
00:10:53.000Charlie, I just got my daughter, who is 40 years old, to vote for the first time, and my 19-year-old grandson in Arizona, MAGA strong.
00:11:01.000So I want to just highlight this email before we go more into Kamala Harris's CNN thing.
00:11:05.000That's two new voters that were not in 2020 where we had the highest turnout ever.
00:13:34.000Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's a strength, is I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision-making process different perspectives.
00:13:51.000My team will tell you, I am constantly saying, let's kick the tire on that.
00:13:58.000I mean, Blake, this is, just to be clear, at Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA and the Charlie Kirk Show combined, we employ 1,500 full-time people.
00:14:08.000Now, that number will go down after the election because a lot of those are ballot chasers.
00:14:11.000In every interview, we ask, what would you say is your greatest weakness?
00:14:15.000Blake, is that not like 101 college grad onboarding interview that you would ask?
00:14:21.000Yeah, it's kind of an annoying question, to be honest.
00:14:25.000Like, it is very much a, you know, you see it a lot, and it's always, as you know, like, you have to give this answer, like, I just, I work so hard, and I push myself to it.
00:14:33.000You end up giving these sort of, like, fake answers to it, but...
00:14:38.000But, you know, at least Kamala could have learned that.
00:15:19.000of go into the media a bunch she was hiding from the media we all ridiculed her for it they said we said she's not ready and I don't know if they knew they were going downhill so they were like we need to change strategies even if it's unlikely or if they just cracked if they finally snapped and said we'll show you we'll show that Kamala can do media and it's been about two weeks of the sudden Kamala media blitz and it's mostly been really embarrassing for her and
00:15:46.000And I think, you know, if we're fortunate and we win, we're going to see this remembered as a huge strategic misplay.
00:16:01.000K-A-L-S-H-I. It's the first legal exchange where you can trade and bet on any event.
00:16:07.000For the first time in 100 years, they got approval to list markets to trade on the outcome of the upcoming election, making it legal to trade on the U.S. presidential election and see who's going to win, Trump or Kamala.
00:16:16.000They have markets on who will win each election, who will win swing states.
00:16:19.000They also have markets on inflation, interest rates, will the government shutdown, and more.
00:16:22.000What's really cool about this platform is you can trade on your opinions to make money or hedge risks that may impact you.
00:16:45.000So, Blake, let's play Dana Bash, but I just want to take a step back here.
00:16:48.000This is one of the few things that was on Kamala's schedule and her inability to dialogue with not even critical questions, but just neutral job interview questions.
00:16:58.000This is this CNN town hall is transparently disqualifying for her to ever assume The office of the President of the United States.
00:17:09.000Yeah, well, she literally went off, she kind of went off the campaign trail for about two days.
00:17:15.000She had, you know, I think it was maybe not two full days, but there was a period of a couple days where she had not many campaign events.
00:17:22.000She went to Pennsylvania, and it seemed the focus was, and she also, I think, went to D.C. to have meetings with staff.
00:17:28.000staff so she basically had two days of private meetings not doing a lot about their campaigning and it proceeded this town hall as well as I think she did some interviews on maybe it was telemundo or one of the Spanish channels so she was doing a series of these interviews and she had time to prep for this she had time for her staff to get her ready for the questions that she would hear and it appears that instead they were just deciding okay we're gonna call Trump a fascist
00:17:56.000Here's eight different ways to call Trump a fascist.
00:18:04.000They think this is how you close the deal on an election?
00:18:09.000It just, it does feel, it genuinely feels to me like they're panicking, because really, when you're in the final ten days, it's not good if you're doing the Hitler freak-out, because that's only, we've been hearing this for a decade, that's only going to motivate your die-hard base fans.
00:18:35.000And if they're not, Kamala has huge issues because it's not like, well, she's now abandoned trying to appeal to the middle.
00:18:42.000So what is the electoral coalition she's trying to build here?
00:18:46.000Yeah, and it's just, is she trying to win over like more Raytheon lobbyists or something?
00:18:50.000I mean, this is such a, the Trump is Hitler nonsense.
00:18:54.000She's going to try to make her closing argument from the national law.
00:18:58.000Let's play Dana Bash from CNN. Play Cut 97.
00:19:02.000I'll just tell you what I'm hearing from people who I've been talking to, and that is that if her goal was to close the deal, They're not sure she did that.
00:19:15.000And, you know, some people have asked, is she being held to a different standard?
00:19:51.000It, like, that's just, you know, when you're, it's coming from Dana Bash, that is a damning statement.
00:19:57.000It's one thing, yeah, oh, she didn't close the deal.
00:20:00.000Okay, it's one thing if you're hearing that from, you know, a Republican analyst who's there to be polite.
00:20:05.000When Dana Bash is saying, you didn't close the deal and you couldn't answer the basic question of what's your policy identity...
00:20:12.000That is, she's saying it was a dumpster fire.
00:20:16.000There's a line, a guy on Twitter, a disgraced propagandist, he was saying, Dana Bash saying she didn't close the deal was actually Dana speaking directly to Kamala.
00:20:26.000She was saying, hey, we told you what to do, but you didn't do it.
00:20:31.000Basically throwing up her hands in anger because really, what else could she do?
00:20:37.000And another one, I've never seen a politician less prepared than Kamala in tonight's friendly CNN town hall.
00:20:49.000She didn't just evade uncomfortable questions, she evaded all the questions.
00:20:54.000They teed her up over and over to answer, how are you different?
00:22:10.000And I'm going to work across the aisle to pass a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system.
00:22:19.000I think Jackson's question, part of it was to acknowledge that America has always had migration, but there needs to be a legal process for it.
00:22:32.000And that's the point that I think is the most important point that can be made, which is we need a president who is grounded in common sense and practical outcomes.
00:24:43.000it's great and they kept trying to get him off that and it's a tough issue we've acknowledged it it's an issue that is still difficult for him and but he would just he had his line he stuck to it he could state it succinctly and he's i think managed to really uh stay stable on that issue that they've tried to really damage him on and And you just compare this to Kamala, who is like...
00:25:56.000Considering you've been in the position of vice president for the past four years under the Biden administration, how can we expect you to deviate from the direction of that administration compared to your own?
00:26:07.000My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration.
00:26:10.000I bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience.
00:26:16.000I represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues and believe that we have to actually take new approaches.
00:26:53.000But I also want us to win because that is how we're going to get the tell-all memoirs and recriminations where all these Democrats are going to come out and they're going to say, how did this happen?
00:27:04.000How did this huge blunder of an interview happen?
00:27:06.000And we're going to get those oral histories where someone says, like, Oh, I saw that clip, and then I buried my face in my hands, and I realized it was all over, and then I went into the bathroom and took a Xanax and puked in the toilet.
00:27:19.000We're gonna get fun memoirs like that, and I really want to read them, which is why everyone needs to get their ballots in so that we win in two weeks.

00:29:18.000For the first time since the inception of early voting, this is worth a tweet, Andrew.
00:29:24.000Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats in casting ballots early, not just incrementally, but by more than 3,000 ballots.
00:29:32.000This is unprecedented and does not include more than 600,000 unaffiliated voters who also participate in early voting and tend to go center right.
00:29:40.000Now, everyone, this is very important.
00:29:42.000Some people say, but Charlie, I'm worrying that we're decreasing our Election Day powder.
00:30:21.000When you allow early voting to occur, What you're doing, and you're celebrating it, is you're increasing the amount of days that lower likely voters can participate in the election.
00:30:33.000And it allows your get out the vote to be far more efficient.
00:30:37.000It allows your get out the vote operation to be far more precise.
00:30:41.000And Democrats are freaking out about this.
00:30:43.000And I honestly think we will actually still have an election day surge.
00:30:46.000I think we're still going to have a surge.
00:32:07.000He's not talking about people who are flipping to Trump.
00:32:10.000I think what he's saying is Democrats, it's really sunk in for them that Kamala...
00:32:17.000is a bad candidate and a bad politician and for that matter it sunk in that as a result she'll be a bad president like this is not a person they can look to to lead the party she's going to be this weird empty suit that they're trying to install in the White House and that's pretty jarring when they're already coming off of a guy so old they have to manage everything he does they'll have to go to someone who's so unprepared so let's be honest kind of dumb That she can't handle the burden of the presidency.
00:32:47.000And I just think that's a remarkable thing to hear from a pretty neutral reporter, as we know Mark is.
00:32:55.000If we want to play some more tape, how about we just play number 81?
00:33:00.000This is another basic question that she should be able to answer.
00:33:05.000So what you're saying is anyone under $400,000 won't have taxes raised, or are you saying that anyone above $400,000 will have a tax raise?
00:33:13.000I'm saying that there is going to be a parity around what the richest people pay in terms of their taxes.
00:33:21.000Right now, Anderson, you know, it is well documented that some of the richest people in our country have gotten away with a zero tax rate.
00:33:29.000But if you're earning $500,000, $600,000, $700,000 under your plan, there's a good chance your taxes will go up.
00:33:35.000We can't have this conversation without knowing that it's a very complicated situation, right?
00:33:53.000She had her little shtick going for a while.
00:33:55.000She had her little kind of like, I'm the candidate and we're going to protect Roe.
00:33:59.000As she has had to face the music and do interviews, her lack of capacity to answer basic questions.
00:34:07.000And it would have helped if she would have actually had a job.
00:34:09.000Hey, Kamala, if you actually would have worked at McDonald's, you would have been able to answer the question, what is your greatest weakness?
00:34:15.000Because I believe that is a question that everybody gets asked at every job interview.
00:34:19.000But it's very clear you've never been asked that question before.
