Summary

The voice is getting better. The Chicago Bears beat the Washington Redskins in a close game that changed the trajectory of the NFL season and the election cycle. What does this have to do with the election? Is this election a referendum on the current president or a referendum about the future of the country and the country's future in the next five years? If you don't like football, it doesn't matter. This story applies directly to the election, and I believe that it has some, let's just say, bigger things at play than football!

00:01:18.000 The voice is getting better.
00:01:19.000 I have my co-host Mr.
00:01:20.000 Blake with us to help us through this very important day.
00:01:23.000 And there are eight days of voting left.
00:01:25.000 I'm going to tell you yesterday a message that I believe that was sent from the divine to me to you via something I just had to watch.
00:01:34.000 No, it wasn't the Madison Square Garden rally.
00:01:36.000 We will be talking about that.
00:01:38.000 But like any good Chicagoan...
00:01:40.000 You have an attachment to Bears football.
00:01:43.000 Da Bears.
00:01:44.000 Da Bears.
00:01:45.000 If you grow up in the Starbucks of Chicago, it's in your blood.
00:01:48.000 It's in your upbringing.
00:01:49.000 In fact, the old joke is, if you have to go fight traffic, do it during a Bears game because you could fly down the Eisenhower...
00:01:59.000 During rush hour, if the Bears are playing and you could just skim on by, the whole city comes to a standstill.
00:02:05.000 Football is the fabric of Chicago.
00:02:09.000 In fact, growing up, every single coach would talk about the 85 Bears and Walter Payton and Mike Ditka and the greatest defense ever assembled.
00:02:18.000 So like any good Chicagoan, I'm watching the Madison Square Garden and I get an alert, my ESPN alert.
00:02:24.000 Dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun.
00:02:26.000 Very close game.
00:02:27.000 Chicago Bears and the Washington Redskins.
00:02:31.000 Can you say Commanders?
00:02:31.000 The Commanders.
00:02:33.000 The Washington football team.
00:02:35.000 The Washington football program is in a very close game.
00:02:39.000 Now Washington is very good.
00:02:40.000 They got Jaden Daniels.
00:02:41.000 They're doing very well.
00:02:42.000 They look like a serious playoff contender.
00:02:44.000 And the Bears So I'm watching this and I'm like, go Bears!
00:02:56.000 You know, this might be the year we might make the playoffs.
00:02:59.000 Which is a rarity and Blake is a Packers fan.
00:03:02.000 We won.
00:03:02.000 And I'm telling you this story for a reason, everybody, because this story is a very important story.
00:03:06.000 If you don't like football, it doesn't matter.
00:03:08.000 This applies directly to the election, and I believe that it has some, let's just say, bigger things at play.
00:03:15.000 So the Washington football program receives the ball, and it looks as if they have no chance of victory.
00:03:21.000 In fact, on the ESPN probability predictor, it showed that the Washington football program had a.01% chance of winning the football game.
00:03:33.000 So Jaden Daniels, with a couple seconds remaining, the offensive coordinator, Cliff Kingsbury, the former coach of the Arizona Cardinals, actually, calls this play, and the Bears kind of take this play off.
00:03:43.000 Oh, whatever.
00:03:44.000 Throw a Hail Mary?
00:03:44.000 What are they going to do?
00:03:45.000 So this is the setup play.
00:03:47.000 Play cut 16.
00:03:49.000 So get up here and run it out right now.
00:03:51.000 Throw it.
00:03:52.000 There it is, Tony.
00:03:53.000 Right on your design.
00:03:55.000 McLaurin out with two seconds.
00:03:57.000 Was there a guy from the Bears on the field there?
00:04:00.000 Non-existent, right?
00:04:01.000 Tony Romo's playing offensive coordinator there on CBS. And so the Redskins get right up near the 50-yard line.
00:04:07.000 And so the final play of the game ensues.
00:04:10.000 And Blake, you and I could probably count on one hand how many successful Hail Marys we've seen.
00:04:15.000 I'm a Packers fan, so Rodgers had that whole thing.
00:04:17.000 He made like three or four different Hail Marys.
00:04:20.000 He's known for it.
00:04:20.000 By the way, he did one recently too with the Jets right before halftime.
00:04:23.000 And so the Bears took this play off.
00:04:26.000 They were favored in the polls.
00:04:29.000 They were favored in the betting markets.
00:04:30.000 They had all the momentum.
00:04:32.000 It looked as if the Bears were measuring the curtains.
00:04:34.000 There was a vibe shift.
00:04:35.000 There was a vibe.
00:04:37.000 In fact, it was so bad, everybody, listen carefully, that one of the defensive backs had his back turned to the play during the play and was taunting the crowd.
00:04:48.000 Defensive back Stevenson.
00:04:49.000 He was literally taunting And as they say, it's never over till it's over.
00:04:54.000 Everybody, it might feel very good that Trump is going to win.
00:04:57.000 It might feel as if it is inevitable.
00:04:58.000 Oh, the polls and the surge in Madison Square Garden and the betting markets and what could possibly happen.
00:05:03.000 I'm going to tell you what possibly happened.
00:05:05.000 Hail Marys can work sometimes, especially if you take the playoff.
00:05:09.000 If you don't blitz and you run this stupid scheme of that Bears coach, Elberfluss, whatever his name is, who should be fired.
00:05:15.000 He rushed three guys to the quarterback spot.
00:05:17.000 Would he be worried that Jaden Daniels is going to run 58 yards for a touchdown on the last play of the game?
00:05:22.000 This right here could be the Kamala Harris campaign.
00:05:25.000 Kamala Harris is going to be throwing Hail Marys all week.
00:05:28.000 They are.
00:05:28.000 The Hitler Hail Mary.
00:05:29.000 The Hitler Hail Mary.
00:05:31.000 The Madison Square Garden Hail Mary.
00:05:32.000 The Nazi Hail Mary.
00:05:32.000 The fascism Hail Mary.
00:05:34.000 The Heil Mary.
00:05:35.000 I like that.
00:05:36.000 And if we are too cocky or high on our own supply like the Chicago Bears were yesterday, this might end up happening.
00:05:43.000 Play cut two.
00:05:45.000 Comes down to one last play.
00:05:49.000 And it's going to be...
00:05:51.000 Getting longer by the second.
00:05:53.000 You're all the way back at the 30-yard line.
00:05:55.000 Now you can step into it.
00:05:57.000 Here comes the Hail Mary with the game on the line.
00:06:00.000 And the ball is caught!
00:06:03.000 Caught!
00:06:04.000 It's a miracle!
00:06:06.000 It's Noah Brown!
00:06:08.000 The guy who was gloating, by the way, is the one who deflected it into the...
00:06:12.000 And we're gonna show that.
00:06:13.000 By the way, for those of us that are Bears fans, that is like a knife twist up.
00:06:17.000 It is as bad as it gets.
00:06:19.000 I liked it.
00:06:20.000 But...
00:06:20.000 I'm aware of it.
00:06:21.000 But maybe God or the forces-to-be wanted me to see that, to tell you guys a message, that could be us these next eight days.
00:06:30.000 And by the way, it will be a million times worse than some football game, regular season football game of Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, who cares, okay?
00:06:37.000 We're talking about the future of the civilization.
00:06:40.000 Now I'm going to show you this because there is an aura of confidence that is bordering on cockiness in Trump circles right now.
00:06:49.000 And the only right answer is we're going to play to the last play and not celebrate, chase votes and chase ballots.
00:06:57.000 You've got to thread the needle between confidence and cockiness.
00:07:00.000 And also, the Bears took the playoff.
00:07:03.000 They didn't blitz.
00:07:04.000 They just, it's a Hail Mary, those never work, gets batted down, whatever.
00:07:08.000 Well, it actually can work.
00:07:10.000 And yes, Donald Trump has the momentum.
00:07:11.000 Now watch, look at this cut here.
00:07:13.000 This is cut three.
00:07:15.000 Defensive back Stevenson, who is literally celebrating during the play.
00:07:19.000 He said, oh, there's no chance.
00:07:21.000 His back turned to the play and taunting the crowd.
00:07:27.000 How often have you guys heard on cable television, well, we can't take our eye off the ball.
00:07:32.000 Here, manifested, is Stevenson taking the eye off the ball.
00:07:36.000 Is that going to be our movement the next eight days?
00:07:39.000 Are we going to take the eye off the ball?
00:07:40.000 Are you guys going to think Trump is going to win and you're not going to go find those extra 5 voters and find those extra 10 voters and go chase those extra 50 ballots?
00:07:47.000 Stay focused.
00:07:49.000 Because it is not over until it's over.
00:07:51.000 You keep your eyes on the ballots.
00:07:53.000 The same way that Stevenson didn't keep his eye on the ball.
00:07:55.000 And one of the most remarkable and just like numbing Clips I've ever seen.
00:08:01.000 Here is cut three of the defensive back who ends up swatting the ball into the hands in the end zone taunting the command or whatever the Redskins fans during the play.
00:08:15.000 Play cut three.
00:08:16.000 He's jogging over even during the play.
00:08:39.000 During the play, he is taunting the crowd.
00:08:42.000 Everybody, this right here should be just a little bit of a lesson, a little bit of a pause.
00:08:46.000 Again, it's football.
00:08:47.000 It's not the civilization.
00:08:49.000 But in eight days, it is the civilization.
00:08:51.000 And it is very tempting when all of a sudden the media and everyone says, oh my goodness, the betting markets and you're up 50 points here and there's no way and early voting looks really good.
00:09:00.000 It's easy to take your eye off the ball.
00:09:02.000 It is tempting to do so.
00:09:04.000 So what does it look like?
00:09:05.000 We have to blitz to the end.
00:09:06.000 What should the Bears have done?
00:09:07.000 And then I'm going to apply it metaphorically.
00:09:10.000 What the Bears should have done is they should have rushed five guys.
00:09:13.000 Right, Blake?
00:09:14.000 On a Hail Mary, you always try to apply pressure.
00:09:16.000 Because the worst that they could do is throw it under, and then you've got seven guys to complete a tackle.
00:09:20.000 Yeah, and I don't know that there's a huge value add from having the extra guy in that giant scrum at the back.
00:09:28.000 You just increase the odds of what you got, which was that deflection into a guy's hands.
00:09:32.000 You have to stay aggressive.
00:09:33.000 We have to go harder than we've ever gone the next eight days because they're going to try a Hail Mary.
00:09:40.000 They're going to try something extraordinary.
00:09:43.000 You're going to see it in real time.
00:09:45.000 However, I'll tell you right now, if we blitz and we stay on it and we turn out and we don't do the taunting to the crowd and you don't go to your liberal friend like, oh, we're going to win.
00:09:55.000 Cut that out right now and go chase ballots.
00:09:57.000 You can celebrate on November 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and for the next four years.
00:10:00.000 And the celebration will be great if we win.
00:10:03.000 But just like the Bears, they thought they had it signed, sealed, and delivered.
00:10:07.000 They thought the cake was baked.
00:10:08.000 They thought it was done.
00:10:09.000 And there was one play left.
00:10:11.000 And could you imagine if we spend this next week measuring the curtains while they're chasing ballots and we end up on the wrong side of history?
00:10:20.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:10:21.000 As we gear up for another important election year, remember that we vote every day with our dollar.
00:10:26.000 One of the best ways to support America is by buying from local farms and ranches.
00:10:30.000 Good Ranchers makes this easy by delivering 100% American meat to your door.
00:10:34.000 When you shop with Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat for your family, but also supporting American farmers and ranchers.
00:10:40.000 This year, instead of buying imported meat, cast your vote for American agriculture and local economy.
00:10:46.000 I've used Good Ranchers meat for quite some time and they never disappoint.
00:10:49.000 Whatever your choice of protein, you'll be pleased if you cast a vote for Good Ranchers.
00:10:53.000 Use code Kirk for $25 off your order and your choice of free chicken breasts, ground beef, bacon, or wild-caught salmon for a year.
00:11:00.000 It's time to make a stand.
00:11:01.000 Vote for American Meat with Good Ranchers.
00:11:03.000 Your purchase helps keep American farms thriving and ensures you get the highest quality meat for your family.

00:11:20.000 There's eight days of voting left.
00:11:21.000 Eight days of voting left here.
00:11:23.000 Janet says, Charlie, my husband and I just voted.
00:11:25.000 Not too worried about our state in Tennessee, but still asking people in our neighborhood, mostly seniors.
00:11:29.000 By the way, that impacts local elections.
00:11:29.000 Run up the score.
00:11:31.000 That impacts House elections as well.
00:11:35.000 Kevin says, Charlie, incredible opening monologue.
00:11:37.000 Started texting Pennsylvania voters utilizing the Turning Point Action app.
00:11:42.000 I fully agree with the clip that you said we can't be too cocky.
00:11:45.000 Guys, we have to stay humble these next eight days.
00:11:47.000 You must surrender that there might be a plan that God has above us, but you must use duty and obligation and energy and spirit.
00:11:58.000 To just make this the eight days when you've gone crazier than ever before.
00:12:01.000 And I don't mean crazy in a bad way.
00:12:02.000 I mean that you just work so hard that you go from 6am to 1am.
00:12:05.000 What could be more important than this?
00:12:07.000 This election will be decided right on the margins.
00:12:09.000 And yes, it might get out of control in one way.
00:12:10.000 We'll see.
00:12:11.000 Blake, Madison Square Garden was yesterday.
00:12:14.000 I'm not sure if you're in agreement with this.
00:12:16.000 But I thought that when I first heard it was announced, my initial reaction was like, okay, this, you know, blue state thing.
00:12:21.000 I'm not a big fan of that late in the election.
00:12:24.000 However, it was brilliant as far as a mainstream media takeover and Donald Trump kind of going back to the city that he helped build to kick off the end part of his campaign, especially with Tucker, Tulsi, Bobby Kennedy, Eli.
00:12:37.000 I don't know if anyone necessarily planned this, but what I could see being the, like, four...
00:12:44.000 Fortuitous development from this is how it's almost like we've taken the media all the way back to 2016.
00:12:50.000 You remember the media strategy in 20 or it wasn't really a strategy.
00:12:54.000 It was an addiction.
00:12:55.000 They would cover All of these Trump rallies, and they could not help themselves from just going, isn't it?
00:13:01.000 It's so horrible.
00:13:02.000 That is so true.
00:13:03.000 We're going to cover every minute of it.
00:13:05.000 CNN covered the whole rally.
00:13:07.000 MSNBC covered the whole rally.
00:13:09.000 And, I mean, they'd have their shrill headlines where, I think, MSNBC had a headline.
00:13:13.000 The whole rally that said, like, Nazi-like something.
00:13:15.000 Yeah, they're like, Trump continues deranged rhetoric against migrants at MSG. And, you know, all the Hitler stuff they're doing.
00:13:24.000 All very much like 2016.
00:13:26.000 And you'll remember in 2016, after the election was over, they suddenly realized, wait, maybe broadcasting every single Trump speech and rally unedited blew up in our face because not everyone is as mentally unbalanced as we are.
00:13:40.000 And we've taken them back to that.
00:13:42.000 For whatever reason, we've debated, are they seeing something we don't?
00:13:47.000 Are they just freaking out?
00:13:48.000 Are they pivoting their strategy for some reason?
00:13:51.000 But they've decided their pitch for the final week is Trump, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler.
00:13:56.000 I'll tell you my thoughts, and you don't have to agree.
00:13:58.000 Number one, I think they're trying to get Trump killed.
00:14:00.000 I think that they're trying to, again, if you're running up against Hitler, you increase the temperature that it's okay to take a shot at him.
00:14:07.000 And look, we saw this.
00:14:09.000 Remember, Blake, you remember they had Trump on the front of the New Republic with the Hitler mustache.
00:14:13.000 As they increase the Hitler language, it doesn't make Trump safer.
00:14:17.000 I think it's really just Democrats are children.
00:14:21.000 They're going to do that for every candidate, and they have done it for every candidate.
00:14:24.000 Fair enough, but it doesn't make Trump safer.
00:14:26.000 Number two, and I think you'd agree more with this, is it creates societal permission for micro-cheating.
00:14:26.000 That's number one.
00:14:33.000 So if you think you're running up against Hitler and Nazis, then you're going to go steal your neighbor's ballot and fill it in.
00:14:39.000 Because you have to do whatever you can to stop Hitler.
00:14:41.000 Yeah, the punch a Nazi thing.
00:14:43.000 Exactly.
00:14:43.000 But finally, Kamala Harris, she is not getting support from the black community nearly close to Biden or Obama.
00:14:51.000 The turnout is not there and the margins aren't there.
00:14:53.000 The turnout is not there so far in early voting.
00:14:56.000 And we have the numbers to reflect that.
00:14:58.000 So she's going after high propensity suburban voters.
00:15:02.000 Where her version of the Madison Square Garden rally is this huge things on Tuesday at the Ellipse.
00:15:08.000 Is that the correct term?
00:15:10.000 In D.C.? Yeah, it's this huge thing.
00:15:13.000 So let's play some of the Madison Square Garden rally.
00:15:15.000 But the Nazi messaging is all about trying to win, run up the score with suburban educated women that are high propensity and that are just trying to win a little bit more there.
00:15:26.000 Okay, let's go to Play Cut 9, President Trump at the Madison Square Garden.
00:15:31.000 After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in the history of the USA. With your help from now until Election Day, we will restore America's promise, we will put America first, and we will take back the nation that we all love.
00:15:54.000 We bleed the same blood.
00:15:56.000 We share the same home.
00:16:00.000 And we salute the same great American flag.
00:16:05.000 We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.
00:16:13.000 We will never give in, we will never give up, we will never, ever back down, and we will never, ever, ever, ever surrender.
00:16:22.000 Together we will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win.
00:16:27.000 We're going to win, win, win.
00:16:29.000 Chilling.
00:16:29.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:16:30.000 The way they frame it is, oh, it's a chilling Hitlerian speech.
00:16:33.000 I would like to believe the American people are a little immune to that line of criticism.
00:16:38.000 How insulting, by the way.
00:16:39.000 If you're a Jewish American and you hear this, the cheapening and the overuse of the analogies to Hitler cheapens the evil of Hitler.
00:16:47.000 I would be so offended by that crap.
00:16:51.000 Let me ask a question.
00:16:52.000 Do you think our country is going in the right direction?
00:16:54.000 Or does it feel like everything is falling apart?
00:16:56.000 If you're feeling alarmed, you're not alone.
00:16:58.000 In fact, Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever is coming next.
00:17:03.000 And that starts with an emergency food supply.
00:17:06.000 Restoring food in your home is the right thing to do because we're living in wild times, which explains why so many people are preparing.
00:17:13.000 Right now, you can get ready to with a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriotSupply.
00:17:19.000 It comes with delicious foods like creamy storgonoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf.
00:17:25.000 This entire kit offers over 2,000 calories every day.
00:17:29.000 This kit lasts up to 25 years.
00:17:31.000 Who knows what our country will look like then?
00:17:33.000 But when the day comes, you'll be ready.
00:17:35.000 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:17:37.000 That is MyPatriotSupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit.
00:17:41.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:17:43.000 Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:17:48.000 I do also want...
00:17:50.000 There's so much news that's happening here.
00:17:52.000 I think we have some clip here.
00:17:54.000 But first, let's just close up the Madison Square Garden thing.
00:17:56.000 So they call it a Hitler rally.
00:17:57.000 What are the facts around that?
00:17:58.000 It's so deranged.
00:18:00.000 So what it was, the reason they bring this up so ominously.
00:18:03.000 So in the 1930s, there were various groups that were like sympathetic toward...
00:18:08.000 Like there was, of course, people who wanted to stay out of World War II. But there were also people who were just more overtly sympathetic towards Hitler and Nazi Germany.
00:18:14.000 The war hadn't started yet.
00:18:15.000 I think there's one called the German-American Bund, and it was kind of pro-Nazi Germans.
00:18:20.000 Anyway, this group held a pro-American rally at Madison Square Garden, but a lot of them were wearing swastika armbands.
00:18:28.000 Now, mind you, a Seinfeld episode mocked this.
00:18:31.000 Do you remember that?
00:18:32.000 Where Jerry and George, they steal somebody's limo, and it was O'Brien, and he was like this famous white supremacist.
00:18:40.000 One of the funniest Seinfeld episodes ever.
00:18:42.000 It was kind of like a Gruper rally, but 1939 or whatever.
00:18:42.000 Yeah, and so...
00:18:47.000 And so they're basically saying, like, wow, holding a large rally for politics stuff at Madison Square Garden?
00:18:53.000 That's what the Nazis would do.
00:18:55.000 Now, it's funny that they say this, because here's a few things.
00:18:58.000 One, FDR spoke at Madison Square Garden the following year.
00:19:01.000 In 1962, JFK was at Madison Square Garden.
00:19:05.000 It's where Marilyn Monroe did the happy birthday, Mr.
00:19:08.000 President thing.
00:19:09.000 LBJ closed his campaign, final big rally of his campaign, 18,000 people, Madison Square Garden, 1964.
00:19:16.000 Nixon had a Halloween rally there, 1968.
00:19:18.000 I guess they'll say that supports the Hitler thing, of course.
00:19:21.000 But the DNC was at Madison Square Garden in 76.
00:19:25.000 Carter, 1980.
00:19:27.000 Carter, 1992.
00:19:28.000 Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
00:19:30.000 George Bush, with his running mate, a prominent Kamala Harris supporter, they used Madison Square Garden as their RNC base in 2004.
00:19:39.000 Like, it's genuinely deranged what they're doing.
00:19:42.000 And now suddenly, oh, Trump is Hitler for using it.
00:19:45.000 And it gets even dumber because the Madison Square Garden they're talking about that had that rally wasn't the same Madison Square Garden.
00:19:52.000 Yeah, it's a different location.
00:19:53.000 It's a different location.
00:19:54.000 It's been in three different spots.
00:19:56.000 And this is the third location.
00:19:57.000 It is more than a mile away from where the Nazi rally one was held.
00:20:02.000 They just give it the same name.
00:20:04.000 They're genuinely deranged people.
00:20:06.000 So the takeaway, though, I want to just say this was a remarkable show of force from President Trump in a typically blue area, but it's a way to get the media to cover it.
00:20:16.000 So this is the one-two combo, and I got to give the Trump campaign credit here.
00:20:19.000 This was very thoughtful.
00:20:21.000 They said, okay, on Friday, and it ended up being posted a couple hours later, you do Joe Rogan.
00:20:28.000 Sunday, you do Madison Square Garden.
00:20:31.000 Was anybody talking about Kamala Harris this weekend?
00:20:34.000 Yes, because they were talking about the Houston rally where they had people yelling.
00:20:38.000 Again, I don't want to spend too much time on this, but if Donald Trump would have done this or a Republican, there would have been rioting.
00:20:38.000 This was bad.
00:20:45.000 Yeah, like the crowd turns on Trump.
00:20:48.000 So this is just really quickly.
00:20:49.000 So Kamala Harris invites Beyonce, apparently people like her, to go do some rally in Houston.
00:20:55.000 So when you invite a musical singer like that, they say, come to a special that would Beyonce.
00:21:01.000 It is largely inferred that she's going to perform.
00:21:03.000 Because Beyonce, if I'm not mistaken, performed with Hillary Clinton back in 2016 with Jay-Z on stage in Philadelphia.
00:21:09.000 And she did a performance for the Obama inauguration.
00:21:13.000 Again, this is the Charlie Kirk archives.
00:21:15.000 I'm thinking back.
00:21:15.000 So Beyonce walks out there and gives a speech.
00:21:18.000 And the people are like, why are you not singing?
00:21:21.000 And mind you, they chose Houston because she recently had a country album and she's like in this whole kind of new...
00:21:28.000 Is she from there?
00:21:29.000 She might be.
00:21:29.000 Or...
00:21:30.000 I can't remember.
00:21:30.000 Again, she's legitimately talented.
00:21:32.000 Not exactly my thing.
00:21:33.000 But she has a new country album out and...
00:21:37.000 She is from Houston?
00:21:39.000 Yeah.
00:21:39.000 Okay, so it all makes sense.
00:21:40.000 And then, you know, the abortion stuff in Texas, whatever.
00:21:42.000 So she shows up and she speaks and the people are like, why are you not singing?
00:21:47.000 Why are you not singing?
00:21:48.000 It's all deceptive.
00:21:49.000 This is cut 23.
00:21:50.000 Kamala Harris declaring war on her base.
00:21:52.000 Playcut 23.
00:21:53.000 You could hear it there for a bit.
00:22:21.000 The media did not touch this.
00:22:22.000 Trump!
00:22:23.000 Trump!
00:22:23.000 You could hear some people yelling that.
00:22:25.000 Her fans trying to overcome the booze.
00:22:25.000 Yes.
00:22:29.000 I mean, the media didn't touch this.
00:22:30.000 Okay, so that was Kamala Harris' weekend.
00:22:33.000 Donald Trump did Madison Square Garden, which we can spend a lot of time on that, but it was a show of force in a historic way.
00:22:40.000 And I could play all the nonsense from the media, but I don't want to get into that.
00:22:43.000 Instead, I want to spend our valuable time on what Donald Trump did on Friday.
00:22:50.000 What Donald Trump did on Friday might have made me the most proud to support him of anything that he's done in quite some time.
00:22:57.000 Take it back, McDonald's.
00:22:59.000 No, that was great.
00:22:59.000 That was your...
00:23:00.000 No, but I think that this was better than McDonald's because I'm a huge Joe Rogan fan.
00:23:03.000 And Joe Rogan earned...
00:23:05.000 Again, I was always like maybe neutral on Rogan.
00:23:07.000 I thought he was a comedian, whatever, during COVID. When he was against the lockdowns and he went up against the COVID machine, I said, this guy's legit.
00:23:13.000 He's a freedom fighter.
00:23:15.000 He's a truth seeker.
00:23:16.000 I love this man.
00:23:17.000 And so Joe Rogan and Donald Trump says, if you don't know who Joe Rogan is, that's okay.
00:23:22.000 Or you've heard of him.
00:23:23.000 Joe Rogan is the most popular podcaster ever.
00:23:25.000 Just like Rush Limbaugh invented the AM dial for talk radio, Joe Rogan has invented podcasts for our generation.
00:23:30.000 We all fall in line behind Joe Rogan.
00:23:33.000 We are behind his trailblazing.
00:23:34.000 Joe Rogan used to do Fear Factor.
00:23:36.000 He's a very successful stand-up comedian.
00:23:38.000 He also is a fight announcer with UFC. And in fact, here's how you know that Donald Trump, the interview, it really took seriously.
00:23:46.000 Joe Rogan broke out that all-black fight announcer shirt.
00:23:50.000 He only wears that for very special guests.
00:23:52.000 Usually Joe Rogan is like in a sweater or a hoodie.
00:23:54.000 For Donald Trump, he broke out the all-black fight announcer shirt.
00:23:58.000 It's a big honor.
00:24:00.000 Donald Trump was spectacular.
00:24:02.000 And don't just take my word for it.
00:24:03.000 I'll show you some of this.
00:24:04.000 If you have any hesitancy about voting for Trump, if somebody in your life is not like a total Kamala zealot...
00:24:12.000 You need to send them the Joe Rogan interview.
00:24:15.000 Donald Trump was funny.
00:24:16.000 He was focused.
00:24:18.000 And it's hard to highlight this in the time we have.
00:24:20.000 Blake, did you listen to the whole thing or just parts of it?
00:24:22.000 I listened to like the last hour.
00:24:24.000 So you'll appreciate this because I think you agree with this.
00:24:27.000 Donald Trump's command of deep issues is far more than people give him credit for.
00:24:34.000 Meaning he talked about nuclear power, the environment, and windmills with remarkable complexity.
00:24:42.000 Without any notes or preparedness.
00:24:44.000 And Blake, that's something people don't always respect about.
00:24:46.000 It's so annoying when people just say, oh, Trump is dumb because he has, you know, he has his weave, his unique way of talking.
00:24:52.000 But you just compare that to Kamala or something.
00:24:56.000 The fact that, oh, you just ask him a question about the White House and he starts talking.
00:24:59.000 Oh, yeah, we were learning this stuff about Abraham Lincoln and his family.
00:25:04.000 And, you know, he had his son, Tad Lincoln, who died.
00:25:06.000 And, you know, his wife was depressed.
00:25:08.000 He was probably depressed.
00:25:09.000 And they were trying to win.
00:25:10.000 He's just going on and on and on about the stuff that presumably he was told by some, like, White House historical expert eight years ago when he moves into the White House.
00:25:19.000 And he's just bringing this off the top of his head.
00:25:23.000 I see that and I compare this to Kamala who can't even take a position on an issue in this election if she hasn't memorized what her campaign staff told her to say, let alone anything else.
00:25:35.000 It's such a jarring contrast.
00:25:37.000 And you can do this on so many different topics.
00:25:41.000 You know, they'll say like, oh, Trump is like old, but really what you see is Trump has a tremendous amount of energy.
00:25:45.000 Yeah, he can just go on this podcast and talk for three hours.
00:25:49.000 And by the way, that was after he did our rally the night before, very, very late.
00:25:53.000 He did a press conference, then he did a rally in Michigan afterwards.
00:25:55.000 Okay.
00:25:56.000 So let's, again, one of the captions on YouTube is, imagine telling someone 15 years ago that the host of Fear Factor and the host of The Apprentice talking to each other on a podcast would be the most important political event of 2024.
00:26:08.000 Yep.
00:26:09.000 And they'll have upset the left-wing Democrats.
00:26:13.000 One thing I want to say, though, is that Steve Dace deserves credit for this.
00:26:17.000 He tweeted something similar.
00:26:19.000 I had a similar thought, but he said it better than I would.
00:26:21.000 Which is, you have the most cancelled man, Donald Trump, on the planet.
00:26:26.000 They try to kill him, impeach him, take his business empire.
00:26:28.000 And then you have the most censored man, Joe Rogan, on one side, on a platform that they can't control, meeting.
00:26:36.000 That was the significance of this.
00:26:38.000 It was worlds colliding.
00:26:40.000 And it was destined to happen right before the election.
00:26:43.000 So you have a man that the media hates more than anybody else, Donald Trump.
00:26:46.000 And you have a platform that is a bigger threat to the regime.
00:26:48.000 I mean, Joe Rogan talks about every verboten topic under the sun.
00:26:52.000 And Donald Trump was 10 out of 10.
00:26:55.000 He did not waver an inch.
00:26:56.000 He was deep.
00:26:57.000 He was focused.
00:26:58.000 And by the way, it is the number one podcast on the planet.
00:27:00.000 It's still number one in all Apple news charts.
00:27:02.000 It has 34 million views on YouTube.
00:27:04.000 YouTube is not even promoting.
00:27:05.000 There's all sorts of weird stuff on that.
00:27:06.000 And Spotify as well.
00:27:09.000 There's a million posts about it on X. It is easily the most viral thing and it will last all the way up until the election.
00:27:17.000 Let's play just a little taste of this.
00:27:18.000 By the way, as a Joe Rogan fan, just as a fan, I couldn't get over just seeing Donald Trump in front of the red drape.
00:27:25.000 I was like, that's awesome.
00:27:27.000 I've been waiting for that.
00:27:28.000 Had he never been on before?
00:27:29.000 Never.
00:27:30.000 Andrew, I think, agrees with me.
00:27:32.000 Just seeing Donald Trump in front of the red drape, I was like, all right, now we're balling.
00:27:37.000 Now we're talking.
00:27:39.000 Let's play cut 22.
00:27:41.000 So I always got more publicity than other people, and it wasn't like I was trying.
00:27:46.000 In fact, I don't know exactly why.
00:27:49.000 Maybe you can tell me why.
00:27:50.000 Oh, I can definitely tell you.
00:27:51.000 You said a lot of wild s**t.
00:27:53.000 Maybe.
00:27:54.000 Maybe.
00:27:55.000 You said a lot of wild and then CNN in all their brilliance by highlighting your wild made you much more popular.
00:28:03.000 This is cut 21.
00:28:04.000 You could find the Rogan interview anywhere.
00:28:06.000 It's easy to find.
00:28:07.000 To swing voters in your life, this is the...
00:28:10.000 You say, listen to this.
00:28:11.000 If you actually pride yourself on being an informed voter...
00:28:14.000 Has Kamala Harris done a sit-down interview for three hours?
00:28:17.000 Blake, that's a serious question.
00:28:18.000 In her life, has she ever done that?
00:28:20.000 I highly doubt it.
00:28:21.000 I don't think so.
00:28:22.000 No, this is a bit—and by the way, Donald Trump could have gone another—he could have gone another four hours.
00:28:26.000 I mean, the guy was just getting warmed up.
00:28:28.000 He could go all day, and he does go all day.
00:28:30.000 So, again, there's so many clips here.
00:28:32.000 Let's just play—let's just go in order.
00:28:33.000 The next one, let's play cut 21.
00:28:36.000 First of all, I love this idea of you teaming up with Robert Kennedy.
00:28:39.000 Right.
00:28:39.000 And I love this Make America Healthy Again idea because there are chemicals and ingredients in our food that are illegal in other countries because they've been shown to be toxic.
00:28:51.000 There's pesticides and herbicides and there's a lot of that's been sprayed on our food that really is unnecessary and there's a lot of health consequences that people are suffering from a lot of these things.
00:29:04.000 We'll dive more into it, but I could not have been more proud is the wrong word, but I couldn't have been more excited and thrilled.
00:29:12.000 Thrilled is the right word with how President Trump performed there.
00:29:14.000 It made us all, all of us that are in the trenches with him, it was like a thumbs up because it makes our jobs so much easier.
00:29:21.000 It makes our jobs so much easier to chase votes and win over independent voters.
00:29:25.000 The biggest podcast in the history, the most canceled man meets the most canceled platform.
00:29:33.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:29:34.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.
00:29:36.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:29:40.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:29:42.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:29:47.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
00:29:52.000 And we're not going to do nothing.
00:29:53.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:29:59.000 $280 can save 10 babies.
00:30:01.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.
00:30:05.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
00:30:11.000 And we'll also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
00:30:14.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:30:35.000 Let's play more from the Joe Rogan experience.
00:30:39.000 Let's play cut 19.
00:30:41.000 The rebels are Republicans now.
00:30:43.000 They're like, you want to be a rebel?
00:30:45.000 You want to be punk rock?
00:30:46.000 You want to like the system?
00:30:48.000 You're a conservative now.
00:30:49.000 That's how crazy.
00:30:50.000 And then the liberals are now pro- They're pro-silencing criticism.
00:30:57.000 They're pro-censorship online.
00:31:00.000 They're talking about regulating free speech and regulating the First Amendment.
00:31:05.000 It's bananas to watch.
00:31:07.000 Joe, they come after their political opponent.
00:31:09.000 You see, Joe Rogan is not a doctrinaire conservative.
00:31:13.000 Nor is Donald Trump, by the way.
00:31:15.000 And here's my rule about where MAGA stands.
00:31:19.000 If you love truth, you're going to be brought to voting for Donald Trump.
00:31:24.000 That's where I'm at.
00:31:26.000 If you love the truth, it will eventually lead you towards casting a ballot for President Donald Trump.
00:31:33.000 If you are willing to challenge built-in orthodoxies, if you're willing to think for yourself and think freely, eventually that will lead you to the inevitable conclusion this guy's got to be president.
00:31:45.000 I want to play another piece of tape here.
00:31:47.000 Let's go here.
00:31:49.000 This is a good one here.
00:31:50.000 Play cut 20.
00:31:51.000 But what they've done is they've made these cops feel terrible, like good cops.
00:31:56.000 I think cops are just like everybody else.
00:31:58.000 Most of them are great.
00:31:59.000 It's like everybody else.
00:32:00.000 But if you run into one carpenter and he does a job in your house, you say carpenters suck, but they don't suck.
00:32:06.000 Most of them are great.
00:32:08.000 And that's the key thing with cops.
00:32:09.000 But the point is, like, they did all of these things in this very foolish way.
00:32:15.000 And these cops are suffering the consequences of it.
00:32:18.000 And so subsequently, what happens is a lot of crime is unreported.
00:32:21.000 A lot of crime, like, you call the cops, they're too busy, they can't even get to you.
00:32:25.000 Oh, your house got broken into?
00:32:26.000 Sorry.
00:32:27.000 You know, it doesn't even make a report.
00:32:29.000 There's a lot of people that they just give up.
00:32:32.000 It feels as if Donald Trump has full-spectrum media coverage, below the surface with Joe Rogan and above the surface with Madison Square Garden.
00:32:40.000 Yeah, he's always had that talent of self-promotion in the truest sense of being able to dominate people's headspace, being able to dominate the conversation.
00:32:50.000 He is, you could say, the most viral person to ever live.
00:32:55.000 He's also, as we've said, the funniest person to ever live.
00:32:58.000 He is just...
00:33:00.000 The energy that he's able to bring in compared to Kamala is very high.
00:33:03.000 Now, that doesn't guarantee we'll win.
00:33:05.000 We had this vibe the same in 2016.
00:33:08.000 We did win, but it was very close.
00:33:11.000 And you had the vibe in 2020, too.
00:33:13.000 I remember that you remember those discussions where it's, oh, Trump is still having rallies that a ton of people go to.
00:33:18.000 No one's going to a Biden rally.
00:33:20.000 And if you go, you have to stand six feet apart from everyone.
00:33:22.000 There's no way that they could possibly this could even be close.
00:33:26.000 And so, you know, whatever you think about 2020, it was close either way.
00:33:30.000 And this election will be close too.
00:33:32.000 And so to circle back to the start of the hour, the way you make all of this worth it is you go hard all the way to the end and you make it so this is the preface to a big win on election night instead of, oh man, how did we drop that?
00:33:47.000 How did we deflect the ball into Kamala's hands right at the end?
00:33:50.000 And you've got to play all the way through to the whistle.
00:33:53.000 And so what you saw this last weekend was a remarkable start to the end.
00:33:59.000 A start to the end of this season.
00:34:03.000 You have Donald Trump.
00:34:04.000 Right now, that Rogan thing is just going to keep growing.
00:34:07.000 That's the thing about podcasting is as people talk about it, it just keeps growing.
00:34:10.000 Madison Square Garden.
00:34:11.000 And Donald Trump is now starting an ambitious end to the I hope his final campaign, isn't that amazing to say, Blake?
00:34:19.000 The last of Trump's campaign?
00:34:21.000 The last one.
00:34:22.000 Other than maybe him doing this genial Trump going into retirement rallies for J.D. in 2028.
00:34:30.000 Oh, I mean, there will be a fair amount of those, but this is the last of him on the ballot.
00:34:34.000 It's been nine years of this.
00:34:36.000 Nine years.
00:34:37.000 It's crazy.
00:34:39.000 More than a quarter of my life has been the Donald Trump experience.
00:34:43.000 About a third of my conscious life.
00:34:45.000 And if he becomes president, we've got another four years of it, too.
00:34:48.000 Oh, man.
00:34:48.000 It's crazy for me to imagine what life was like in early 2015, before Donald Trump just blew up everything that we thought...
00:34:58.000 The future of America was going to be.
00:35:00.000 And here we are.
00:35:01.000 We got one leak left, everybody.
00:35:03.000 And for those of you guys that are Trump superfans, I hope you kind of like, that means something.
00:35:08.000 Like, Donald Trump's last visit as a candidate to Arizona is happening this Thursday with Tucker Carlson.
00:35:12.000 Donald Trump's last visit to Nevada is happening this week.
00:35:15.000 Last visit to New Mexico.
00:35:16.000 Last visit to Virginia.
