00:01:29.000 He's a great American and someone who can help us navigate this uncertainty that we're seeing politically and also make sense of what's happening in the Middle East.

00:01:36.000 It is Ambassador Rick Grenell and former DNI chief as well.

00:01:41.000 Rick, welcome back to the program.

00:01:43.000 Hello, my friend Charlie, how are you?

00:01:45.000 Doing great, thank you.

00:01:46.000 So, Rick, I want to start with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

00:01:50.000 Some people in our audience are beginning to get a little worried.

00:01:54.000 They're starting to see a lot of polls come out from the media that give them some anxiety.

00:01:58.000 What is your take on this and how should we navigate Kamala Harris' now 17-day-old campaign? 0.93

00:02:06.000 Well, the reason why I'm not worried at all is because I'm old and I've been through this, you know, 25 years now.

00:02:13.000 This is what happens when they pick the VP.

00:02:15.000 There's a collective cheer, especially from the media when it's a Democrat.

00:02:20.000 There's also, you know, be prepared.

00:02:22.000 They're going to get a bounce from their campaign.

00:02:24.000 They've got some problems, and we are going to have to really highlight the problems because we know the media is not going to do it.

00:02:30.000 We've got to stop asking the media to play fair.

00:02:33.000 We know they're not going to play fair. 0.93

00:02:34.000 We just need to point out their hypocrisies.

00:02:37.000 But at their convention, they've really got a meltdown between the pro-Israel voices, the very few evangelicals, And others that are fighting for pro-Israel issues within the Democratic Party and the Hamas wing of the party.

00:02:54.000 The Hamas wing of the Democratic Party is loud and strong and it's growing.

00:02:59.000 And they just knocked out Shapiro in contention for the vice president nomination because he was too pro-Israel for them.

00:03:10.000 And that's really sad.

00:03:11.000 So I'm not worried about this.

00:03:14.000 As soon as we get through their convention, reality will set in.

00:03:19.000 We've got plenty of time and we've got plenty of money.

00:03:21.000 It doesn't mean we can't adjust our campaign and really go after her.

00:03:27.000 We need to concentrate on her words.

00:03:30.000 We need to concentrate on Tim's words.

00:03:33.000 They've got some crazy stuff out there.

00:03:35.000 I mean, Kamala Harris I know well from being here in California, and she wants to end red meat because she thinks it's bad for the environment. 1.00

00:03:43.000 That's not going to work in Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania.

00:03:47.000 We need to take our time, concentrate on her words, This is the most radical far-left ticket ever in my entire lifetime.

00:03:56.000 We've never had this radical left.

00:03:59.000 America is not this left.

00:04:01.000 And so all we have to do is keep to her words, show the American people exactly who she is, and we will crush her.

00:04:11.000 The last time they picked a vice president from Minnesota, we went 49-0.

00:04:18.000 against them.

00:04:19.000 So just remember that. That's super helpful and comforting.

00:04:23.000 What can you tell us from your time in California about her weaknesses, about the successful

00:04:29.000 attack vectors that we can use now, where it's really going to come down to five or six states?

00:04:35.000 Well, Charlie, I think that you should put one or two people from Turning Point to go through her

00:04:41.000 tenure in California, because here's She's never been vetted.

00:04:46.000 We don't have a media in California that ever vetted her time as Attorney General or her time in San Francisco. 0.70

00:04:53.000 And remember, she is touting that.

00:04:56.000 She, when she comes to the stage and she's talking about her experience, she doesn't talk about being a senator.

00:05:03.000 She doesn't talk about being a vice president.

00:05:07.000 The reason why is because she was a little more vetted than she ever has been before.

00:05:12.000 But if you're a Democrat in California, you rise fast because of DEI.

00:05:17.000 You have to be Hispanic or gay or Asian, you have to literally click a box. 0.92

00:05:23.000 And at the top of that, handing out all of these plum assignments is a straight white guy, Gavin Newsom. 0.73

00:05:30.000 And so this is the game that they play to keep people in boxes.

00:05:36.000 And so if you're a minority, if you have a dissenting voice, you're crushed within the Democratic Party.

00:05:42.000 Until you toe the line.

00:05:43.000 And so she hasn't been vetted and all of her work and all of the things that she supported literally are a goldmine for people who want common sense because they're going to see this explosive attitude that she has towards the border, towards DEI programs, towards businesses, towards law and order.

00:06:07.000 It's literally a goldmine.

00:06:08.000 And I'll just finish with this.

00:06:09.000 There's a great Congressman, Used to be our great state senator in, uh, our state rep in Sacramento by the name of Kevin Kiley.

00:06:18.000 Kevin is amazing.

00:06:20.000 He's a shining star from California.

00:06:22.000 I wish he was still in Sacramento, but he is, you should follow him on, on social media because he knows Kamala's record better than anyone.

00:06:31.000 He served in Sacramento with her and he is every single day highlighting her record back in Sacramento.

00:06:39.000 And it's atrocious.

00:06:40.000 Don't wait for the LA Times, don't wait for the Sacramento Bee, don't wait for the San Francisco Chronicle to do any of this work.

00:06:48.000 They will never do it.

00:06:50.000 And so just we could do this on air or off air, Rick, what would we be looking for?

00:06:53.000 And just on the surface level, she let violent criminals go free.

00:06:57.000 And you're right, she is bringing this up as the primary thing.

00:07:00.000 The $50 million future forward pack or whatever ad is she's a tough on crime prosecutor, which means, by the way, the country actually wants Tough on crime policies?

00:07:10.000 She wouldn't be running with that if the tone of the country was that.

00:07:13.000 And it's so fake that the Democrat Party is pretending as if they are legitimate or that they are trustworthy when it comes to cleaning up crime or keeping our streets safe.

00:07:24.000 It is a remarkable thing.

00:07:26.000 What should we be looking for?

00:07:27.000 Because she had a long career there from relaxing penalties for illegals, for paving the way towards soft amnesty. 0.99

00:07:36.000 What should we be looking for there?

00:07:38.000 Look, she is the Queen of Sanctuary Cities and Sanctuary States. 1.00

00:07:42.000 She was Attorney General, and when this all exploded on the scene, she was the one defending it and trying to find the loopholes.

00:07:50.000 And let's be very clear about Sanctuary City.

00:07:52.000 It's a really nice name for a horrible concept.

00:07:56.000 It is literally an idea that you get to go to a city or a state and ignore federal laws because you don't agree with those federal laws.

00:08:06.000 Talk about the beginning of undermining democracy.

00:08:10.000 That was the foot inside the tent.

00:08:14.000 That was literally the moment where conservatives missed the boat and we should have said, no, I don't care what you call it.

00:08:20.000 I don't care what kind of a nice name you put on ignoring federal law.

00:08:24.000 But if we decided as conservatives to pick and choose which federal laws we were going to follow and create safe havens for places to say, you can't prosecute people who ignore the federal law.

00:08:37.000 You just have to go along with it.

00:08:39.000 There would be an explosion from the East Coast newsrooms.

00:08:43.000 We have to be able to hit back hard.

00:08:46.000 She created this DEI woke sensibility.

00:08:51.000 She used her office as Attorney General and in San Francisco as the City Attorney.

00:08:57.000 And don't forget one other thing.

00:09:01.000 She knew who George Gascon was in San Francisco when he was the prosecutor, district attorney, the law enforcement head there in San Francisco.

00:09:12.000 And he wreaked havoc on common sense.

00:09:15.000 And then he moved to Los Angeles.

00:09:18.000 After literally creating havoc in San Francisco, he moved to Los Angeles and guess what?

00:09:24.000 Kamala Harris endorsed him, encouraged him, raised money for him.

00:09:29.000 You talk about the poster child of taking on DEI and pushing it forward to go against common sense and to undermine the rule of law.

00:09:40.000 George Gascogne has ruined San Francisco and Los Angeles while collecting money and support from Kamala Harris. 0.98

00:09:46.000 If you don't think that as president she's not going to go through all of our major cities and do the same thing, install a George Gascogne type of a law enforcement person, You are crazy.

00:10:00.000 She is going to take the top 50 cities and just pick them off and make sure that we have chaos amongst the laws that she doesn't agree with. 1.00

00:10:12.000 Talk about undermining democracy.

00:10:14.000 She created the system. 0.60

00:10:15.000 How can people support you, Rick?

00:10:17.000 Plug Fix California and all your social stuff.

00:10:20.000 Great.

00:10:20.000 I run an organization called Fix California.

00:10:23.000 Go to FixCalifornia.com and we are doing what Florida did.

00:10:28.000 Digitally finding conservatives who are unregistered to vote and we're finding them.

00:10:32.000 And I'll just give you a little stat here, Charlie.

00:10:35.000 For $22 million, you could flip Los Angeles County by finding enough conservatives sitting on the sidelines.

00:10:44.000 Remember, 50% of our community is not even registered to vote.

00:10:49.000 50% of the people are sitting on the sidelines.

00:10:51.000 We take $22 million to find all of the conservatives in L.A.

00:10:55.000 County, register them to vote, flip the county, you flip the state, and imagine if California became a red state, even a purple state, what that does to the national map.

00:11:09.000 Can you feel it now?

00:11:11.000 Something even bigger is coming.

00:11:13.000 Your God-given freedoms are up for the taking.

00:11:16.000 Even worse, those doing the taking are the same people who've sworn to defend your freedom.

00:11:21.000 They think they can violate your right to protect your own family.

00:11:24.000 They think they can force their delusions onto your kids.

00:11:28.000 They think they can control the media and hide the truth.

00:11:31.000 But you know what they can't take away?

00:11:33.000 Self-reliance and peace of mind.

00:11:35.000 You got water filtration?

00:11:37.000 Well, you should.

00:12:27.000 Rick, how do we force Kamala Harris to take a question, let alone questions throughout this campaign? 0.99

00:12:34.000 Look, we got to have reporters who are interested in this.

00:12:39.000 So maybe it's just reporters on the right, but they've got to follow her and hound her. 0.96

00:12:44.000 And we've got to highlight the fact to every single mainstream legacy media reporter who is promoting Kamala's messages, whether it's videos or Just tweets or campaign events.

00:13:01.000 We have to hound them and tell them that it is unacceptable in America to promote messages from a politician who is hiding from actually back and forth questioning.

00:13:15.000 It is propaganda.

00:13:17.000 If you don't push the media to say, wait a minute, I don't want just one-way messaging from the campaign.

00:13:25.000 We're not just going to push out one-way messaging.

00:13:28.000 If you can't look a politician in the eye and ask them legitimate questions, we used to call this speak truth to power.

00:13:35.000 If you can't do that, then we should be hounding these reporters To shut down trumpeting the Harris message.

00:13:45.000 You don't get to promote your message if you aren't willing to defend your message with a reporter face to face.

00:13:53.000 And so we've got to call these reporters out on the carpet.

00:13:56.000 Remember, these are newsrooms in Washington, D.C.

00:14:00.000 that spent six to seven months telling us Joe Biden was fine.

00:14:05.000 And literally trying to wag the dog. 0.97

00:14:08.000 And I think that we've got to push back.

00:14:11.000 We can't take this.

00:14:12.000 We can't allow The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN and others to push one-way messaging because it is totally propaganda and we should call it that.

00:14:22.000 It is.

00:14:22.000 Rick, can you give us your expert opinion on what is unfolding and developing in the Middle East right now?

00:14:28.000 Look, I think weakness is the entire problem, and we have to be very clear-eyed about what has happened.

00:14:35.000 The reason why Hezbollah and the Houthis and Hamas weren't launching wars when Donald Trump was in office is because Iran was broke.

00:14:47.000 Their funder, their donor, is the Iranian Islamic regime. 0.76

00:14:53.000 Everybody knows that.

00:14:54.000 And so when we came in, when the United States government had a new leader, when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came in, they did two things, Charlie.

00:15:04.000 They did two things that funded this Islamic regime. 0.83

00:15:09.000 One is they dropped sanctions on Iran.

00:15:12.000 And between dropping sanctions, doing credit and cash relief, They gave billions of dollars to the Islamic regime in Iran.

00:15:22.000 The second thing they did is, remember, the Biden-Harris team spent $6 billion to get five hostages back, five people that were held against their will.

00:15:36.000 This was a hostage exchange for $6 billion.

00:15:40.000 What do you expect when you give 10 to 12 billion dollars to the radical regime in Tehran.

00:15:48.000 What do you think they're going to do with it?

00:15:50.000 They fund these proxies.

00:15:53.000 That's why the Houthis, that's why Hamas, and that's why Hezbollah is attacking Israel. 0.93

00:15:59.000 October 7th happened because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris gave money to the donor that launched that war, and that's Iran.

00:16:09.000 It is really... By the way, if I can add one thing, Charlie.

00:16:13.000 That message, what I just said, is a powerful message to Arab Americans.

00:16:19.000 They know that Iran is the problem. 0.99

00:16:21.000 Our friends in the Arab American community throughout Detroit and throughout Phoenix, which are the two cities in America, the two swing states that have the largest cities of Arab Americans, They know that Iran is the problem. 0.96

00:16:36.000 When you talk about Donald Trump delivering peace and peace agreements, and what do you expect when you fund Iran, those are two powerful messages that we say to the evangelicals in America, we say to the pro-Israel Jewish Americans, and we also say that same message, those same two messages, To Arab Americans, and they love it.

00:16:59.000 They understand the problem when you say that.

00:17:02.000 We're not trying to be duplicitous and say two different things to evangelicals and Arab Americans.

00:17:08.000 We're saying the same thing.

00:17:09.000 That's what the Democrats do.

00:17:10.000 That's right.

00:17:10.000 Rick Grinnell, excellent.

00:17:11.000 Thank you so much for your time.

00:18:54.000 Joining us now is Tom Behrens, who is a former National Guardsman, and you've been telling the story about Walz's military service and the truth there.

00:19:04.000 Tom, welcome to the program.

00:19:06.000 Tom, I have CBS News, ABC News right here, and they say, Vance goes after Walz's military service.

00:19:13.000 Tom, what is the truth around Walz's military service?

00:19:17.000 Well, the truth behind his service is he served, you know, I don't know how well he served for 24 years.

00:19:24.000 I wasn't in the same unit with him.

00:19:26.000 I was in the battalion with him.

00:19:28.000 He was a different first sergeant, but you know, I don't, I don't think he was anything exceptional, but when it came time to deploy, we did deploy to Europe.

00:19:38.000 He was in Italy and I was in England as first sergeants.

00:19:42.000 And we, you know, the soldiers all joked that it was the European vacation, which it wasn't very easy.

00:19:48.000 Deployment.

00:19:49.000 I mean, we, we fell in and did security on air bases there.

00:19:52.000 And, you know, we had, we had normal Air Force hours and they treat you like a human in the Air Force.

00:19:57.000 So we, you know, we more or less work eight to five or where we were around the clock, but I mean, it was still a very, very decent deployment.

00:20:05.000 We came back and then, uh, when it came time to, you know, the unit the next spring and in 04, March of 04, one of the 125 got got notified that they were warning order to prepare to go to Iraq.

00:20:25.000 And Kim Walls was the acting Command Sergeant Major at that time.

00:20:30.000 And May rolled around and he, the rumor was out there that he turned in his paperwork and turned in his equipment and walked out the door and quit on all of the soldiers in the battalion.

00:20:44.000 So he just quit on all the... So what was the circumstances?

00:20:47.000 Was there a medical reason he quit?

00:20:49.000 Was there a personal reason?

00:20:50.000 Why did he quit and betray the people closest to him?

00:20:55.000 Well, I would say it might have been medical.

00:20:57.000 It might have been something up here. 0.72

00:20:59.000 But for anybody to quit the way he did, it's just absolutely... You know, the first word that comes to my mind is coward.

00:21:09.000 Because it's like, well, were you scared that you're going to, you know, Get shot or whatever.

00:21:14.000 And then I was kind of like, well, you know, was he a traitor or, you know, what, what actually was on his mind?

00:21:21.000 I just didn't, I didn't really, I couldn't fathom it because most people, when they get to that rank, they don't want to give it up.

00:21:29.000 They don't, they want to prove themselves.

00:21:31.000 They want to take care of their soldiers.

00:21:33.000 They want to, they want to go to combat with them.

00:21:36.000 They want to be the father figure.

00:21:38.000 And go there and try to keep them safe and bring them all back home alive so they can live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

00:21:45.000 They don't want to be the person that is known for being the coward that when the call came to, hey, this is the United States, we're going to Iraq, and then the guy's like, well, screw you, I got better things to do, which is exactly what he did.

00:22:00.000 So he signed up to be a Sergeant Major Academy, which implied that he agreed to serve at least an additional two years after finishing it.

00:22:08.000 But instead, he simply quit the Academy and he gave up a promotion that he'd received.

00:22:14.000 Is that a fair summary?

00:22:16.000 It's fair because in the fall of 04, he was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major, which basically says You need to do these conditions.

00:22:27.000 And if you do not accomplish these conditions, your, your promotion is null and void.

00:22:32.000 It goes away.

00:22:33.000 So that is exactly what happened.

00:22:35.000 He was in the Academy.

00:22:37.000 The Academy for Reservists is basically, you have two years to accomplish non-resident correspondent forces, and you got to give speeches and different things.

00:22:47.000 And then they got it all laid out.

00:22:48.000 You know, you got to keep up with it.

00:22:50.000 And he did most of that when he was in Europe.

00:22:52.000 You know, he had lots of time there, so he got it accomplished.

00:22:56.000 But then you go to Fort Bliss for a two-week resident phase, and then, you know, once that's accomplished, then you're a graduate.

00:23:03.000 But once you graduate, you still got to put two years in, more or less for the Army and all the taxpayers to get their money out of you for all the education they gave you for doing that course.

00:23:14.000 I mean, we wasted a year or more of Of whatever correspondence course, time of all the instructors and everything for him, and he just pulled the plug and didn't do it.

00:23:26.000 So help me understand, what happened to the unit after he left?

00:23:29.000 What was their Iraq tour like?

00:23:31.000 It was long and, you know, we ended up, you know, once he quit about a month later, I got the call to take the position.

00:23:40.000 So I went around to the units.

00:23:43.000 They said, well, he's gone.

00:23:45.000 I'm in now.

00:23:45.000 We're going to, you know, prepare to war.

00:23:48.000 Fair to go.

00:23:49.000 And we need to, we need to get ready to go to Camp Shelby and train.

00:23:53.000 We had six months of training in Camp Shelby.

00:23:55.000 And I can honestly say that by the time we were done with that, I think everybody wanted to get the hell out of there and get to Iraq because you know, it's not the nicest place down there either, but prepares you for being in a hostile environment where you're, you're hot and you're sticky and you're miserable and you've got bugs and you know, you ain't getting shot at, but you've got all the other stuff. 0.87

00:24:14.000 And then we went overseas, and we were supposed to be in Iraq for a year, but we ended up being in there when the sectarian violence hit.

00:24:21.000 So we got extended, and we were in country for 17 months.

00:24:25.000 We got extended for six months, but they cut it off about a month, I think, at the end.

00:24:31.000 So you're, amongst the other amazing people you served with, what is the general consensus and opinion of Tim Walz as he goes around and brags about his military service and tries to use it to score political points?

00:24:46.000 I would say the general consensus is out there and it's probably, I'd be surprised if it wasn't 99% against what he did.

00:24:53.000 There's a couple out there that, well, he was a He had over 20 years and he could quit.

00:25:04.000 You know, and granted, yeah, I could have quit too.

00:25:07.000 And I had over 20 years and I actually did retire and I got back in.

00:25:11.000 And then I, then I went to Iraq and I'm not proving my own warrants.

00:25:15.000 There's a lot of people that did that.

00:25:16.000 And that's just what you do.

00:25:18.000 You train up your soldiers and want to go to war with them.

00:25:20.000 You want to protect them.

00:25:21.000 You want to be with them.

00:25:23.000 You don't want to abandon them.

00:25:24.000 You know, and that's where, What he did with, there's very few that have any time.

00:25:30.000 I talked to a lady yesterday and she said when he was congressman down here there was a Vietnam veteran that would see him and he'd go to talk to him and Tim would run away because he was scared of this Vietnam vet because the vet was giving him hell for being a traitor.

00:25:47.000 Do you think it's, your reaction to the criticism that he is basically benefiting from stolen valor?

00:25:55.000 Yes, I actually brought that out with it because, you know, the rank of command sergeant major is, you're like the 12 point bucket for the deer out there.

00:26:03.000 I mean, you're, you're the big dog and, and it's a very prestigious thing.

00:26:08.000 I mean, you go and it's like him in a speech now saying he's a command sergeant major.

00:26:14.000 When people hear that, they're like, well, wow, you got, you got to be the top, top person out there.

00:26:20.000 I mean, there's only one out of 500 soldiers in a battalion You know, as a whole, as you know, an average that gets that right.

00:26:28.000 I mean, there's usually five first sergeants, they're in charge of a hundred.

00:26:32.000 But I mean, an E9 Command Sergeant Major is in charge of five of them.

00:26:35.000 So it's a big deal.

00:26:37.000 And that's one of the only reasons I can see that he does what he does, because he knows it's a political point for people.

00:26:47.000 And you know, but it's just a huge lie.

00:26:49.000 I mean, I just heard Several clips of him saying he was a Command Sergeant Major and he was a retired one.

00:26:55.000 And the sad thing is he should correct anybody that calls him a retired Command Sergeant Major because he is not one because the order is out there where he got reduced to Master Sergeant.

00:27:08.000 And that is what he is now.

00:27:09.000 He's collecting, he should be collecting his retired pay now that he's 60 years old.

00:27:14.000 I don't know if he's got his paperwork in or not, but he gets E-8 pay.

00:27:18.000 He gets Master Sergeant retired pay.

00:27:21.000 If you were to summarize it for our audience to digest, and the American people, what should the public think about Walz's character?

00:27:29.000 I would say his character is lies and deceit, and he's a very good speaker.

00:27:38.000 He can read a crowd and know what they need to hear, almost, to a certain point.

00:27:43.000 But he's like a chameleon.

00:27:44.000 He'll be in a crowd of farmers and he'll be blabbing about, oh, I got to do this for the farmers or whatever.

00:27:50.000 And then he'll turn around and go talk to the medical profession and he'll tell them what he thinks they need to hear.

00:27:57.000 But you know, it all ends up being lies and deceit.

00:28:00.000 We went to the Capitol last year when we fought for ETABs in Minnesota for all of the legions and VFWs and everything out there.

00:28:10.000 You know, he was like, well, we got to pass the omnibus bill first and do this and that, and then we'll get to your guys's stuff.

00:28:16.000 And when it came down to the vote, they voted against us.

00:28:19.000 And he didn't push for us.

00:28:20.000 Then he voted for the casinos and stuff.

00:28:23.000 And what it boils down to, very few veterans are going to vote for him, ever have, because they know his character.

00:28:30.000 And he was like, you know, why give the veteran groups money for their gambling when they're not going to vote for him anyway?

00:28:37.000 I mean, that's, It all boils down to votes for him.

00:28:41.000 That's the thing.

00:28:42.000 He changes his skin color.

00:28:46.000 Not his skin color, but he's like a Camille. 0.76

00:28:48.000 Wherever he's at, that's what he wants to be.

00:28:50.000 You bet.

00:28:51.000 That's what he wants to be.

00:28:53.000 Thomas, thank you so much for your courage and for speaking out and very, very telling

00:28:59.000 about who Tim Walz is and how he presents himself in a dishonest and deceitful way.

00:29:04.000 Thank you.

00:29:05.000 You bet.

00:29:06.000 Thank you for having me on.

00:29:07.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:29:09.000 That is Stolen Valor.

00:29:10.000 That is Dick Blumenthal, John Kerry style.

00:29:17.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:18.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:29:21.000 We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.

00:29:25.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:29:27.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:29:32.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.

00:29:38.000 Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:29:45.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:29:47.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:29:49.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:29:56.000 And we'll also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:29:59.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:30:02.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:30:03.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:30:08.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:30:10.000 Also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:30:13.000 I'm a donor to this organization.

00:30:14.000 They're terrific.

00:30:15.000 Go to charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:30:20.000 So, Tim Walz is a creep, we know that.

00:30:23.000 And he mandated that in boys' restrooms, that there would be tampons in boys' restrooms. 0.95

00:30:32.000 So Hillary Clinton has now tweeted out, thank you Hillary Clinton for making this an even bigger story by the way, everything Hillary Clinton touches dies.

00:30:40.000 Get it? 0.84

00:30:42.000 She has the touch of death. 1.00

00:30:45.000 She of course dodges the question.

00:30:46.000 She says, how nice of Trump camp to help publicize Governor Tim Walz's compassionate and common sense policy of providing free menstrual products to students in Minnesota public schools.

00:30:57.000 Okay.

00:30:57.000 Let's do this everywhere.

00:30:58.000 So Hillary Clinton is for boys across America to have menstrual products.

00:31:02.000 They can't tell you what a woman is, though. 1.00

00:31:02.000 Interesting. 1.00

00:31:05.000 The Democrat Party cannot tell you what a woman is. 1.00

00:31:08.000 Ketanji Brown-Jackson cannot tell you what a woman is. 1.00

00:31:11.000 The first question should be, for Kamala Harris, what is a woman? 1.00

00:31:14.000 If she actually ever ends up taking questions.

00:31:17.000 The next question should be, for Tim Walz, what is a woman?

00:31:21.000 But definitely not creepy, right?

00:31:24.000 Tampon Tim is now trending on Twitter.

00:31:29.000 And Tim Walz is a real creepy dude, but he's out there lying and trying to act as if JD Vance is weird.

00:31:37.000 This is not a fight that's going to end well for them.

00:31:39.000 They're the ones that want to read pornographic material to nine-year-olds.

00:31:45.000 They're the ones that support men in thongs dancing in front of children. 0.98

00:31:51.000 They are the ones that wanted to care about our vaccination status.

00:31:55.000 Let's put Cut 80 up on screen.

00:31:57.000 This is Governor Walz tweeting out a picture of genderqueer, which has graphic material of, let's just say, very intimate sexual behaviors between minors.

00:32:11.000 Very graphic.

00:32:12.000 That's very creepy, Tim Walz.

00:32:15.000 But we did not pick this fight.

00:32:16.000 Tim Walz and the media are happy to continue to say, J.D.

00:32:20.000 Vance is weird.

00:32:21.000 Do you know what's weird?

00:32:23.000 Tim Walz?

00:32:25.000 Shaking hands with your wife. 0.88

00:32:27.000 That's weird.

00:32:29.000 The entire media is carrying the water of the narrative of the Harris-Walls cabal.

00:32:40.000 I see right here J.D.

00:32:41.000 Vance taking questions outside of Air Force Two in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

00:32:43.000 J.D.

00:32:44.000 Vance, by the way, is a rock star right now.

00:32:46.000 I want to play some tape here, J.D.

00:32:47.000 I think J.D.

00:32:48.000 was earlier.

00:32:49.000 You know J.D.

00:32:49.000 is doing daily press conferences that are being taken by every single news station?

00:32:55.000 Just dominating.

00:32:57.000 Let's go to Cut 51.

00:32:59.000 This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy, and has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does.

00:33:13.000 I think it's interesting, actually.

00:33:15.000 They make an interesting tag team because, of course, Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail.

00:33:25.000 It is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about the border, she doesn't care about crime, she doesn't care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies. 0.99

00:33:36.000 So yes, J.D.

00:33:37.000 Vance landed in Wisconsin and walked over to Air Force Two and is now doing a press conference in front of Air Force Two.

00:33:45.000 You gotta love that.

00:33:46.000 That's the energy we need.

00:33:48.000 And he's saying, hey, why won't she take any questions?

00:33:51.000 Mrs. Air Force Two, why won't she take any questions? 1.00

00:33:54.000 J.D.

00:33:54.000 Vance, let's play Cut 76.

00:33:57.000 This is a person who said she supports the police, yet she promoted policies to defund the police.

00:34:03.000 This is a person who says that she wants a secure border, but she has been the border czar for 3 1⁄2 years

00:34:08.000 while it's been wide open.

00:34:09.000 And this is a person who says that she wants secure American communities,

00:34:13.000 yet all of the people who are the police officers who are ensuring that we have safe communities,

00:34:18.000 they don't seem to like Kamala Harris.

00:34:20.000 And you guys have got to ask her tough questions about why that is.

00:34:24.000 The media honeymoon for a person who runs away from the American people is disgraceful.

00:34:29.000 It's not just disgraceful for Kamala Harris.

00:34:31.000 It's increasingly disgraceful on the part of the media.

00:34:34.000 It has been 17 days since Kamala Harris assumed the Democrat mantle as nominee,

00:34:41.000 and there has not been a single question asked of her.

00:34:45.000 Not a single question.

00:34:48.000 She doesn't do a press conference. 0.98

00:34:49.000 And meanwhile, by the way, I thought she's this big tough prosecutor. 1.00

00:34:52.000 She's a coward, is what she is. 1.00

00:34:55.000 Kamala Harris is a coward. 1.00

00:34:58.000 Oh, I'm a real tough prosecutor in a pantsuit. 1.00

00:35:00.000 You're nothing.

00:35:01.000 J.D.

00:35:02.000 Vance is out there doing hours of press conferences a week.

00:35:04.000 Literally, he's out taking a full gaggle.

00:35:06.000 That's the second time today.

00:35:08.000 Kamala Harris runs afraid of the press.

00:35:12.000 They're going to try to run a basement campaign. 1.00

00:35:15.000 I'd rather have Trump-Vance, two fighters, instead of the coward named Kami. 0.70
