00:00:25.000 What drove them to do that?
00:00:28.000 We also talk about the extraordinary GDP number, 33.3% GDP growth.
00:00:34.000 Open up the country.
00:00:35.000 No more lockdowns.

00:01:18.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:20.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:29.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:32.000 This is the most important election of our lifetime.
00:01:36.000 Our values, our security, and our future are on the ballot.
00:01:40.000 Every American deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted.

00:01:50.000 Get to the polls, cast your ballot, visit yourvote2020.org because your voice, your values, your vote have never been more important.
00:01:59.000 Paid for by America First Policies Inc.
00:02:05.000 What gets you excited?
00:02:07.000 Does meat get you excited?
00:02:09.000 It should.
00:02:10.000 In fact, I've heard people say that they enjoy steak more than a lot of other things that they enjoy in life.
00:02:17.000 Let's put it that way.
00:02:18.000 If steak is on your list of things that you enjoy, there's only one option.
00:02:23.000 It is the lip-licking, salivating meat from Good Ranchers.
00:02:29.000 It's that good.
00:02:29.000 The T-bones, fillets, and more.
00:02:31.000 And each item is wrapped individually to lock in that juicy American goodness.
00:02:35.000 We got a box.
00:02:36.000 This box is unbelievable.
00:02:38.000 T-Bones, fillets, steak.
00:02:41.000 It was like that Oprah scene where everyone gets a car.
00:02:43.000 It was like everyone got a steak in the office and everyone had the best meal that they had had that week.
00:02:48.000 The rave of the meat was on.
00:02:50.000 It was unbelievable.
00:02:51.000 And so what are you waiting for?
00:02:52.000 Goodranchers.com, promo code Charlie.
00:02:54.000 I asked Good Ranchers, I said, I need to test out this product.
00:02:57.000 And this box they sent us was unbelievable.
00:02:59.000 They'll send it to your home.
00:03:01.000 You guys can have Thanksgiving steak.
00:03:03.000 You ever think of that before?
00:03:04.000 Thanksgiving steak.
00:03:06.000 What could be more American than that?
00:03:08.000 Donald Trump, you're right.
00:03:09.000 But beyond that, Good Ranchers, Thanksgiving steak, T-bones, fillets, whatever you need.
00:03:15.000 Don't waste money going to the store, goodranchers.com, promo code Charlie.
00:03:20.000 Goodranchers.com.
00:03:22.000 Promo code Charlie.
00:03:25.000 I don't think we couldn't have gone any more west in the great state of Arizona.
00:03:30.000 Usually we broadcast out of the beautiful studios in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:03:35.000 But we took one day off.
00:03:37.000 We were there with the President of the United States, and the rally, the enthusiasm, the energy was so invigorating, honestly.
00:03:45.000 And it was, it gave me hope for hopefully what will happen on Tuesday.
00:03:50.000 It gave me a great deal of peace that so many people are involved in politics in our country.
00:03:57.000 I got my start watching the rise of Barack Obama in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:04:03.000 And I wasn't anti-Obama at the time.
00:04:06.000 I wasn't pro-Obama.
00:04:07.000 But just as if you cheered for the Chicago Bears or the Cubs, the White Sox or the Blackhawks, you did not say a bad word about Barack Obama running for the presidency in 2008 in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:04:18.000 Everyone was excited to see Barack Obama, the hometown candidate, rise to prominence.
00:04:24.000 Teachers wore Barack Obama shirts.
00:04:26.000 There were Barack Obama stickers on lockers.
00:04:29.000 And it was really interesting to see how many people were involved in the process.
00:04:33.000 And of course, now looking back, I saw how awful the policies were that he put forward and how he divided our country racially.
00:04:42.000 However, I thought to myself, will there ever be a Republican candidate that gets that many people involved in politics?
00:04:48.000 We had a Tea Party wave in 2010.
00:04:51.000 We had Mitt Romney in 2012, who had nowhere near the type of grassroots support that President Donald Trump enjoys and built.
00:04:59.000 And being in Bullhead City, Arizona, to see 15 or 20,000 people, as far as the eye can see, people that just wanted to get a glimpse of Air Force One landing, goes to show that there are people that want to take ownership of their country again.
00:05:18.000 Those people would not have been there yesterday if they believed that the system is so broken that if they don't vote, if they don't do something, it means nothing.
00:05:29.000 In a lot of different ways, the Trump movement is a rejection of political cynicism.
00:05:35.000 Why would somebody show up to Bullhead City at 3 o'clock in the morning?
00:05:39.000 There were plenty of those people.
00:05:40.000 We talked to them.
00:05:41.000 Wait in line in the blistering sun, stand for six or seven hours in line to go get a small glimpse of a president on stage.
00:05:53.000 Why would they do that?
00:05:54.000 Because they feel as if they are part of a movement to reclaim their government.
00:06:00.000 They feel as if they are part of something that is bigger than themselves.
00:06:06.000 And that's a very healthy sign for a constitutional republic or for some people would call it democracy.
00:06:14.000 I'm really careful to use that word because I think it is overused and not understood at all whatsoever.
00:06:19.000 But we do have a democratic means of electing leaders.
00:06:24.000 And one thing that I thought that was very clear in the president's address, first of all, as he enters off of Air Force One, this was not my first rally.
00:06:32.000 I've been to dozens, but this one was different.
00:06:35.000 The president seemed to go out of his way to try and embody and personify positivity.
00:06:43.000 This is a very important point.
00:06:46.000 Everywhere we look on the political landscape, it is nothing but fear-mongering and negativity.
00:06:53.000 We're going to have a long, dark winter, Joe Biden says.
00:06:56.000 We have to shut down our country indefinitely.
00:07:01.000 The message from Joe Biden and the Democrats wouldn't be one where people are dancing and excited to see a president.
00:07:10.000 Instead, it feels as if when Joe Biden does his rallies, he's overseeing some form of a political style eulogy.
00:07:20.000 So President Donald Trump, as he gets off Air Force One, excited, clapping, the audience is dancing alongside him.
00:07:32.000 It is more clear that President Donald Trump represents almost an American summer versus a Biden dark winter.
00:07:42.000 Joe Biden told us this.
00:07:44.000 That's the remaining story for these four or five days before the election.
00:07:49.000 My goodness, did that happen fast?
00:07:50.000 It felt like we were just in July, a couple hours ago, and here we are.
00:07:55.000 On Tuesday, the future of our republic will be decided.
00:08:00.000 Joe Biden wants us to enter into a dark winter, whereas Donald Trump wants to bring us back into an American summer, metaphorically, of course.
00:08:11.000 And that was demonstrated today.
00:08:14.000 Today, new numbers came out, which should have been headline news on the New York Times, Huffington Post, BuzzFeed everywhere.
00:08:20.000 GDP gross domestic product hit 33%, 33.1%, actually.
00:08:27.000 It is the highest GDP growth of any GDP number in American history, nearly doubling the next highest GDP number in the history of America.
00:08:40.000 And this was even higher than expected.
00:08:43.000 And some economists are so blown away by this number that they feel comfortable that if President Donald Trump is able to win, that we might even have positive growth on this calendar year, that despite the lockdowns, despite the draconian measures, despite the one-size-fits-all centralized edicts from megalomaniac politicians, we actually might end 2020 better than when we started.
00:09:12.000 That is incredible.
00:09:14.000 And one thing that the activist media will not tell you, one thing that the activist media almost assuredly will not say in the coming days is that how we handled this quarter and how we will handle the coming quarter is all but universal.
00:09:35.000 I mean, that President Donald Trump's approach to reopen the American economy would not have been Joe Biden's approach.
00:09:44.000 If Joe Biden were president of the United States, maybe we would have 2% to 3% GDP growth in this quarter.
00:09:50.000 We would be afraid at home.
00:09:53.000 We would be believing the fear-mongering lies.
00:09:56.000 And hundreds of thousands of small businesses that were barely getting by would have been shuttered and destroyed for good.
00:10:06.000 I equate this moment right now similar to post-World War II.
00:10:14.000 After World War II, most of Europe was devastated, understandably.
00:10:20.000 After World War I, World War II, endless bombings, the conquest of Europe by the evil Germans, and the reclamation of that land by the Allied forces left Europe in basic shambles.
00:10:37.000 And Europe had difficulty for decades climbing out of that economic condition that they were in.
00:10:48.000 And America was in a much more advantageous and a much more competitive position.
00:10:58.000 It's no different than where we are right now.
00:11:01.000 Today, France and Germany have announced that they will lock down their economy completely and totally again, their whole country.
00:11:09.000 This is anti-science.
00:11:12.000 There is no science to show that lockdowns have any benefit in stopping the spread.
00:11:20.000 And there is evidence to show that lockdowns actually contribute to depression, alcoholism, drug use, suicide, self-harm, businesses going under.
00:11:31.000 All it does is temporarily prolong the inevitable.
00:11:36.000 Joe Biden would take us the way of Macron and Merkel.
00:11:40.000 Joe Biden would lock down the American economy again.
00:11:45.000 And the media won't tell you this.
00:11:46.000 They act as if what President Donald Trump is doing with the economy is agreed upon universal doctrine.
00:11:56.000 Like every country is doing the same thing.
00:11:58.000 In Ireland, you cannot go from county to county without a reason and a passport.
00:12:05.000 They are regulating people going from county to county.
00:12:09.000 We are frustrated with the lockdowns here in this country, and we should be, but we're actually the most open country in the world.
00:12:16.000 Outside of one other country, China.
00:12:21.000 Isn't it interesting how the Chinese Communist Party has been able to open their country so seamlessly and easily?
00:12:27.000 How is it that China is all of a sudden closer to reopening fully than any other Western country?
00:12:34.000 And a better question is: why is it that most European countries are tolerating that?
00:12:41.000 Why is it that most European countries are allowing themselves to stay permanently and perpetually locked down?
00:12:52.000 France and Germany are foolishly locking down their economy again.
00:12:58.000 Macron and Merkel say they are going to have nationwide lockdowns for the second time.
00:13:03.000 Meanwhile, Sweden remains perfectly and completely open.
00:13:07.000 The strategy that they employed was mocked and ridiculed and attacked very early on.
00:13:14.000 And now their economy is going to have a positive number for this quarter.
00:13:22.000 And this Tuesday, we're going to have to make a decision.
00:13:26.000 Our country is going to have to make a decision whether we want to go the way of Merkel and Macron, shut down our country again, and put America into an endless economic depression.
00:13:41.000 It is safe to say that Joe Biden would be the economic depression candidate, raising taxes, increasing regulation.
00:13:54.000 Now, mind you, the ruling class would do just fine.
00:13:57.000 We would have another round of quantitative easing.
00:14:00.000 Rates would go down to basically below zero.
00:14:02.000 We might go to negative interest rates.
00:14:04.000 And the 1% of the 1% in this country will always find a way to deploy their capital and their assets to benefit from any struggle that middle-class families might be experiencing.
00:14:17.000 And the media will make it seem as if, oh, of course, the economy goes back up.
00:14:21.000 Of course, because we reopened.
00:14:22.000 Trump doesn't deserve credit for that.
00:14:25.000 Understand that Biden would still have this country perpetually locked down.
00:14:31.000 Joe Biden would go the way of J.B. Pritzker.
00:14:35.000 J.B. Pritzker, who now has said all Cook County restaurants must remain closed for indoor dining.
00:14:44.000 Well, someone should tell J.B. Pritzker, who is the governor of Illinois, multi-billionaire trust fund kid from the Pritzker-Hyatt fortune.
00:14:56.000 He was born on 3rd and thought he hit a triple.
00:15:01.000 That it's kind of hard to eat outside in Chicago this time of year.
00:15:05.000 It's a high of 40 today, I think, in Chicago.
00:15:09.000 So basically, J.B. Pritzker, using a non-scientific approach, is shutting down all indoor dining for most of Cook County.
00:15:17.000 I think he said you can have 25 people in your restaurant, which is a joke.
00:15:22.000 And what does that mean for the Indian immigrants?
00:15:24.000 What does that mean for the Mexican, Nicaraguan, Lithuanian immigrants that I grew up around in the suburbs of Chicago who came to this country legally?
00:15:33.000 They believed in the system.
00:15:35.000 They put their entire life savings into a small deli, a bakery, a coffee shop.
00:15:46.000 J.B. Pritzker, who's the governor of Illinois, is showing us what Joe Biden would do if he were elected president.
00:15:56.000 Shut it all down.
00:15:58.000 And Joe Biden told us this.
00:16:00.000 If you think things are tough economically now, imagine if there was a nationwide lockdown, which is unconstitutional, by the way.
00:16:09.000 But he would strong-arm the governors to shut down again.
00:16:12.000 Now, you might ask the question: why are they doing this?
00:16:16.000 If it's not scientific, if it's not rooted in empiricism, if it's against reason, why are the Democrat governors doing this?
00:16:25.000 Well, reason number one is they truly want to inflict the most amount of economic damage to hurt Donald Trump, no doubt.
00:16:33.000 But reason number two is their goal, their agenda, is all about addicting people to government benefits.
00:16:42.000 Their desired outcome is to expand the size, scope, scale, and influence of the government, state government included.
00:16:55.000 What's a great way to get people onto government benefits?
00:16:58.000 Crush private enterprise, destroy entrepreneurs.
00:17:04.000 And this Tuesday should really be a referendum that is so simple.
00:17:09.000 Donald Trump wants to safely reopen the country.
00:17:12.000 Joe Biden wants to recklessly close it down again.
00:17:15.000 That's a winning message.
00:17:17.000 And you want to know why Hispanics are going towards Donald Trump in record numbers?
00:17:21.000 Hispanics are entrepreneurs.
00:17:25.000 You look at the backbone of a lot of suburban Chicago.
00:17:28.000 It is Hispanic entrepreneurs that have put all of their multi-generational life savings to just try and get by.
00:17:39.000 Look, this holiday season, more people will be mailing stuff than ever before.
00:17:44.000 They're mailing things all over the place.
00:17:45.000 That means the post office is going to be busy.
00:17:48.000 It's going to be a circus.
00:17:49.000 You don't have time for that.

00:18:49.000 If you're watching this and you have grown upset at seeing the restaurants in your community go under, in Thousand Oaks, California, where my pastor leads, Godspeak, Thousand Oaks, Calvary Chapel, I've been told that 65% of the businesses in Thousand Oaks will never reopen.
00:19:12.000 65%.
00:19:13.000 But it's not just about the restaurant owners.
00:19:16.000 It's about all of the auxiliary workers that are dependent on the restaurant industry, the food delivery industry, the busboys, the waiters, the minimum wage workers that are just trying to get enough income to get by.
00:19:35.000 All of them are severely disenfranchised by these centralized lockdowns.
00:19:43.000 We now see the difference.
00:19:45.000 33.3% GDP growth.
00:19:47.000 If you elect President Donald Trump, our economy will be back on track by January, if not stronger.
00:19:54.000 You elect Joe Biden by the time he gets inaugurated, if they let him take it that far, the economy will be in ruin.
00:20:02.000 People will start to retreat.
00:20:04.000 They'll sell their securities and their equities.
00:20:06.000 The Dow will collapse.
00:20:08.000 People will start to migrate heavily to red states or out of the country.
00:20:12.000 Business investment will plummet, but the ruling class will be just fine.
00:20:16.000 They'll create hedges against that kind of market volatility.
00:20:19.000 They'll reallocate their capital against the looming inflation crisis in our country.
00:20:26.000 And it will be an American economic suicide, the likes of which we've never seen before.
00:20:32.000 And I think that we, as conservatives in years past, the Mitt Romney types, over-fixated on the economy.
00:20:40.000 I think that Mitt Romney made his entire pitch about the economic well-being of our country.
00:20:48.000 And mind you, he was an incredible hypocrite because he was the one that was offshoring the jobs that he was trying to win the votes back in eastern Ohio, in Hubbard, Ohio, in Macomb County in Michigan, or Mahonig County in eastern Ohio, or in western Pennsylvania.
00:21:06.000 And Barack Obama did much better there because it was just generationally Democrat.
00:21:10.000 That's where Donald Trump has changed things.
00:21:13.000 However, I think that we overemphasized the economy with Mitt Romney.
00:21:19.000 And I think we are underemphasizing the economy right now.
00:21:24.000 We rightly have been talking about what does it mean to be an American?
00:21:28.000 Who are we as a country challenging BLM Incorporated, pushing back against the radical racial insurrectionist movements in our country, rejecting the 1619 project?
00:21:40.000 However, some people vote as simply and as plainly as: how's my pocketbook and my bank account going to look come Christmas?
00:21:49.000 And I think the more President Trump actually just bluntly and plainly says, look at this GDP number, 33.1%, the best GDP number in American history, and most other countries are going to be in a decades-long depression because of their lockdowns.
00:22:09.000 So this presents a huge opportunity for our country.
00:22:12.000 If we decide to re-elect President Trump, this could actually be the most successful, the most prosperous decade in American history.
00:22:22.000 In an unusual turn of events, the lockdowns could give us an incredible comparative advantage where we could see 6% or 7% growth for next year as well, with that wages going up.
00:22:36.000 And God willing, some of the other fundamental trends that we have seen in the last couple of years that have been going in a disturbing trajectory.
00:22:47.000 And so, what is Joe Biden's response to the 33.1% GDP growth?
00:22:53.000 He just continues to fearmonger and say we're heading for a dark winter.
00:23:00.000 President Trump will be victorious or will be defeated based on the issue of whether or not people are willing to put the objective well-being of our country above silly side issues that they have been told matter more than the middle-class lifestyle and the American way of life.
00:23:28.000 I think back to Jimmy Carter.
00:23:31.000 One of my dear friends who passed away was Lee Hanley.
00:23:38.000 He was an amazing man, one of my political mentors.
00:23:41.000 He taught me more about politics than almost any other person still that I have met to this day.
00:23:48.000 And he introduced me to Pat Caddell.
00:23:51.000 And Pat was also an awesome, phenomenal guy.
00:23:55.000 He was Jimmy Carter's pollster.
00:23:59.000 And I remember sitting in Palm Beach, Florida on a sunny day in December, I think it was 2013, 2014, and Pat Cadell told me the story.
00:24:11.000 And Pat had such a fun way about him.
00:24:14.000 And he said, Charlie, you don't understand.
00:24:16.000 We were leading in every single tracking poll against Ronald Reagan until the weekend before the election.
00:24:25.000 And that old Ernest Hemingway quote demonstrated itself in real time.
00:24:32.000 Things were happening gradually, then suddenly.
00:24:36.000 And Pat Cadell, who was Jimmy Carter's pollster, said that weekend before the election, as that last GDP number was announced that wasn't positive for Carter, and the Iranian hostage scandal was heating up even more over the weekend.
00:24:53.000 Reagan Democrats, people that were registered Democrats that Jimmy Carter thought that he could count on, came out in record numbers because they were looking at voter registration.
00:25:03.000 Early voting wasn't as big of a deal back in the late 70s and early 80s as it is now.
00:25:10.000 But they were looking at some of the early voting data thinking like, oh, these Democrats are going to show up.
00:25:15.000 We're going to be fine.
00:25:15.000 What they didn't calculate is that the Democrats weren't voting for Jimmy Carter, is that the Democrats were voting for Ronald Reagan.
00:25:24.000 So yeah, Democrats were showing up, but they were Reagan Democrats, almost that Kennedy-Reagan belt of America.
00:25:33.000 These are middle-class Catholics that shower before work and shower after work.
00:25:38.000 They work with their hands.
00:25:39.000 They're the muscular class of our country.
00:25:41.000 And they, more than any of the other peripheral issues, they want a decent and stable country.
00:25:47.000 And they also want to believe in the economic well-being of the backbone of what they are doing every single day.
00:25:55.000 And it's no different than Biden's winter versus Trump trying to bring us back to an American summer.
00:26:01.000 Jimmy Carter's economic malaise versus Ronald Reagan's mourning in America again.
00:26:08.000 The more the president can be positive this day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, smile, dance at the events.
00:26:16.000 Now, some people say these rallies are hurting him with senior citizens.
00:26:22.000 I don't have a good response to that.
00:26:24.000 President Donald Trump is being outspent.
00:26:26.000 President Donald Trump does not have the benefit of the entrenched political elite or the big tech companies.
00:26:32.000 President Donald Trump is not supported by the wealthiest bankers in our country.
00:26:35.000 President Donald Trump does not have the media, and he doesn't have Hollywood.
00:26:39.000 He has no choice but to do these rallies.
00:26:40.000 It is the only political asset that he has left.
00:26:44.000 And it's a pretty good one, by the way, where you can drive turnout, explode enthusiasm, and create a grassroots response and a grassroots firewall against the 1% in our country that seems so determined and adamant to crush you, to crush normal people.
00:27:08.000 And so the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, they're all basically police states.
00:27:15.000 In Italy, they're revolting against lockdowns and they are arresting protesters.
00:27:20.000 They don't have a First Amendment in most of Europe.
00:27:23.000 This is from the New York Times.
00:27:25.000 Hundreds of demonstrators in Catania, Milan, Turin, and other cities blocked traffic, set off firecrackers, burned garbage cans, and clashed with the police.
00:27:34.000 And as they protested, the new rules, which ordered bars and restaurants to completely close at 6 p.m., shut all movie theaters and gyms until November 24th.
00:27:44.000 Many protesters chanted freedom, freedom.
00:27:47.000 I just hope Americans hear their call for what we have here.
00:27:51.000 You have a president that has shown hospitalization rates go down, death rates going down.
00:27:57.000 Cases are going up, but cases mean nothing.
00:28:02.000 This is the first time in the history of a virus that we are measuring cases, that we are measuring how many people have the virus, not how many people are dying of the virus versus a couple months ago, how many people are suffering because of the lockdowns that we are doing.
00:28:19.000 It's a case-demic that we have in this country.
00:28:24.000 And so you have Europeans that are pointing to America saying, we want freedom, we want freedom.
00:28:30.000 What they're really saying is, don't screw it up like we have, guys.
00:28:34.000 You have a chance.
00:28:36.000 That's what makes President Donald Trump a uniquely American political figure.
00:28:40.000 Joe Biden is a European technocrat.
00:28:42.000 When it really comes down to it, what is one thing that Joe Biden believes that Engela, Merkel, and Macron don't believe?
00:28:49.000 Globalist institutions pandering to the ruling class, overemphasizing the Russian conflict while actually taking money from Russia, like Joe Biden has $3.5 million wire from the mayor of Moscow's wife or Angela Merkel saying Russia is such a big threat while she has a natural gas pipeline right into her country.
00:29:11.000 So there's a choice that we still have.
00:29:14.000 And Joe Biden, I think, if properly framed, is a European Union technocrat.
00:29:22.000 He believes in socialist government programming.
00:29:27.000 President Donald Trump believes in a truly American approach to difficulty and problems.
00:29:35.000 Be brave and be wise.
00:29:37.000 What's the European approach?
00:29:40.000 Be cowardly, run to the hills, and ask your leaders, is it safe to come out now?
00:29:46.000 That's what makes our documents, that's what makes our home, which is America, so completely different.
00:29:53.000 We don't look to our leaders for guidance.
00:29:56.000 They look to us for guidance.
00:29:58.000 Huge difference.
00:29:59.000 In Europe, they are all subservient to Macron and Merkel.
00:30:03.000 Here, the leaders work for us.
00:30:09.000 And it's actually poetic how this is all coming through.
00:30:14.000 It is.
00:30:15.000 The founding fathers created elections in a decentralized way that you have to win over the constitutional majority, which is a constitutional republic, for moments like this.
00:30:26.000 Go read Federalist 48.
00:30:28.000 Go read Federalist 51, where the founding fathers said clearly: you need a, and I'm using this term, it is what they were saying, a metaphorical pressure release valve to prevent what's happening in Italy and in France, where you have people that are burning down their cities to reopen the country.
00:30:48.000 We have a chance to do it peacefully.
00:30:51.000 Where, God willing, tens of millions of Americans will show up and they'll say, we're done with these lockdowns.
00:30:58.000 We're done with being cowardly.
00:30:59.000 We're done with being lied to.
00:31:01.000 We do want our economy back.
00:31:03.000 We want those small businesses to remain vibrant and to remain open and to remain successful.
00:31:08.000 And guess what, Biden?
00:31:09.000 Go back to the EU and go push papers around and sell out our country to Belgium and to Macron and Merkel.
00:31:17.000 It's not going to happen here.
00:31:18.000 Let's play CUT 12, Larry Kudlow.
00:31:21.000 This exceeds all expectations we've ever had playtape.
00:31:26.000 I think it exceeded all expectations.
00:31:29.000 It is a record high, Sandra, since the data going back to 1947.
00:31:34.000 We've never had anything remotely close to this.
00:31:37.000 Never had anything remotely close to this.
00:31:40.000 Do you think those are the economic numbers coming out of Europe?
00:31:43.000 Absolutely not.
00:31:45.000 In Europe, they are seeing perpetual lockdowns, economic catastrophe.
00:31:52.000 And what will the result of that be?
00:31:54.000 Well, France, Spain, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, obviously, they're not in Europe, but they're in, I would put them in the similar form of economic conditions of Europe.
00:32:06.000 They are going to have to massively expand their welfare state.
00:32:11.000 This is an amazing competitive advantage that America can take right now.
00:32:17.000 If we actually make the decision not to commit an American suicide on Tuesday, we might have the most prosperous, the most exciting, and the most successful decade in American history: 33.1% GDP growth.
00:32:36.000 Now, here's the good news for President Trump.
00:32:38.000 Many of the late-breaking voters, independents, are voting on their number one issue, the economy.
00:32:46.000 This news is nothing but good news for President Donald Trump.
00:32:51.000 And so, Joe Biden and the polling class that gives him a relentless amount of air support, I want to, and by the way, Nate Silver might be right.
00:33:00.000 I actually take a much more unknown approach to this.
00:33:04.000 There's so much we don't know about this election.
00:33:06.000 My prediction is going to be one thing.
00:33:09.000 It's going to be a guess.
00:33:10.000 It'll be an informed guess, but it's going to be a guess.
00:33:13.000 And we'll publish our official prediction.
00:33:15.000 Actually, we'll probably go through it Monday in the second hour of our program, the day before the election.
00:33:20.000 We'll also walk through it on Tuesday as well.
00:33:23.000 But I went to Nate Silver's website and he said, I'm being generous by giving Donald Trump a 12% chance at victory.
00:33:31.000 He said, 12 out of 100 simulations that we have run.
00:33:34.000 And he might be right.
00:33:35.000 However, it's hard for me to reconcile how the economy is the number one issue of late-breaking independent voters, how the economy is Donald Trump's strongest issue, 33.1% GDP.
00:33:49.000 Joe Biden is going around the country saying he's going to raise people's taxes.
00:33:53.000 President Donald Trump is correct when he says, who can possibly win an election saying, I'm going to go raise your taxes in the midst of a recession?
00:34:02.000 It's a very perplexing political strategy.
00:34:04.000 Give me power so I can go take your money away from you that you already don't have.
00:34:09.000 Oh, by the way, I'm going to go destroy the energy sector in this country.
00:34:13.000 And so if Joe Biden wins, it will be because of a combination of forces.
00:34:18.000 It'll be the tech companies that have flexed their muscle and have become the most powerful electoral, political, and cultural institution in our country, which very well might happen.
00:34:27.000 They registered 4 million new voters.
00:34:29.000 They are suppressing conservative voices.
00:34:31.000 They are delisting any sort of contrarian, dissident voices that might challenge Joe Biden.
00:34:36.000 The New York Post is still locked out of their account.
00:34:39.000 Meanwhile, the Iranians still have their Twitter account where they say, what's wrong about challenging the legitimacy of the Holocaust?
00:34:46.000 That tweet is still up, by the way.
00:34:48.000 That tweet by the Iranians, Khomeini, I always mispronounce his name, the evil totalitarian maniac that runs Iran, Khomeini.
00:35:01.000 That's right, Khomeini.
00:35:02.000 He says, what's wrong with challenging the Holocaust?
00:35:04.000 We'll get the exact tweet up here.
00:35:06.000 And yet, the New York Post is still locked out of their account.
00:35:10.000 And so if Donald Trump loses and Joe Biden wins, it will not be because of Joe Biden.
00:35:16.000 It will be because of a multi-trillion dollar effort, both domestically and abroad and interinstitutionally that will try to crush normal people to take back their government.
00:35:27.000 That is a path that can happen.
00:35:34.000 Seeing the check engine light can give anyone anxiety.
00:35:37.000 But that's why I have CarShield and I don't worry about it anymore.
00:35:41.000 CarShield is amazing.
00:35:42.000 They offer a wide range of protection plans that can save you thousands for a covered repair, which means that check engine light is a lot less scary when it comes on.

00:36:04.000 CarShield has helped over 1 million drivers.
00:36:07.000 That's why they're America's number one auto protection company.

00:36:30.000 You'd think that a woman getting on the Supreme Court would be an apolitical moment.
00:36:37.000 The Girl Scouts of America, which has decided to go the way of the Boy Scouts of America and become a completely and totally irrelevant organization, deleted a social media post on its official Twitter and Facebook Wednesday evening after congratulating Amy Coney Barrett on her appointment to the Supreme Court.
00:36:55.000 I'm an Eagle Scout.
00:36:56.000 I'm obviously not, never was involved in the Girl Scouts, but it's a brother-sister organization.
00:37:01.000 And the Girl Scouts said, congratulations, Amy Coney Barrett, on becoming the fifth woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789.
00:37:08.000 They have quickly deleted it after Backlash, where people such as Representative Ayanna Presley said, what kind of patch does one earn for uplifting a woman who is the antithesis of justice?
00:37:20.000 Ayanna Presley, who is a special form of fool.
00:37:29.000 Let's just leave it there.
00:37:30.000 You know exactly what that means.
00:37:33.000 Ayanna Presley tries to go after the Girl Scouts.
00:37:37.000 Another Twitter user saying a lifetime Girl Scout criticized the post.
00:37:41.000 I already feel uneasy as a trans person in this organization, but now I really understand that this message at Girl Scouts really does not support me or my trans LGBTQ siblings.
00:37:52.000 So then the Girl Scouts deleted it and they apologized because they dared praise a woman who was a mother of seven to being on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:38:00.000 She said, Girl Scouts said, earlier today, we shared a post highlighting the five women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court.
00:38:06.000 It was quickly viewed as political in a partisan statement, which was not our intent and we removed the post.
00:38:10.000 Girl Scouts of America is a non-political organization, non-partisan organization.
00:38:15.000 We are neither red nor blue, but Girl Scout Green.
00:38:17.000 We are here to lift up girls and women.
00:38:19.000 If you're here to lift up girls and women, then you should have probably kept the post up.
00:38:23.000 But this just goes to the deeper point.
00:38:25.000 We talked about this with Douglas Murray on my podcast, and we've talked about this with Larry Elder before.
00:38:30.000 The left, they do not view people as men.
00:38:34.000 They do not view people as women, as gay, as black, if they do not hold their specific political views.
00:38:42.000 For example, you no longer become worthy of applause as a female if you're a conservative.
00:38:51.000 Because the way they view it, the only reason that someone would be a woman and a conservative is if they hate themselves.
00:39:04.000 That's what they say.
00:39:05.000 There's no black conservatives.
00:39:07.000 Those are self-haters because leftism and blackism is directly connected.
00:39:11.000 So that's exactly why the Girl Scouts deleted it.
00:39:14.000 And by the way, they were right for tweeting it out.
00:39:17.000 It is a pretty big deal.
00:39:18.000 The fifth woman to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:39:20.000 I thought that we went through this entire diatribe in the last decade of women's place is in the White House.
00:39:26.000 About a woman's places on the Supreme Court.
00:39:28.000 They don't consider her to be a woman worthy of recognition.
00:39:31.000 Why?
00:39:32.000 Because she believes in God.
00:39:33.000 She loves the Constitution and she isn't a radical Marxist.
00:39:37.000 That's why.
00:39:37.000 Now, if there was a Ruth Bader-Ginsburg-esque anti-constitutional activist that was appointed instead of Amy Coney Barrett, not only would the Girl Scouts of America posted it, they would have been applauded for posting it.
00:39:54.000 Same for Planned Parent and all these other groups.
00:39:57.000 And what really disappoints me is that the Girl Scouts of America didn't double down on this.
00:40:02.000 What a great opportunity for them to call out the nonsense of Ayana Presley and call out the absolute garbage of these other Twitter users and say, okay, you might not like Amy Coney Barrett's politics, but you're fragile and you need to get your act together because she's a mother of seven and a pretty impressive woman who's now on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:40:21.000 You should be okay with that.
00:40:22.000 And if you don't like her politics, then go work in elections.
00:40:26.000 And we're about the Girl Scouts of America.
00:40:28.000 And this is what girls should attain to try to get to.
00:40:31.000 And this is what really bothers me: young women across the country are being told, no, no, no, Amy Coney Barrett, that's not someone that you should try to aspire to be.
00:40:39.000 Okay, a mother of seven, graduated number one of Notre Dame Law School, loved by her colleagues and now on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:40:44.000 No, no, no, you shouldn't try to be her because she has bad politics.
00:40:49.000 And so who's actually trying to infect the pool of progress?
00:40:53.000 Is it conservatives or is it the cultural arsonists like Ayanna Presley?
00:41:00.000 And the Girl Scouts, the fact that they just deleted the tweet and apologized for it just gave so much power to these hostage-taking cultural arsonists.
00:41:15.000 And that's what they do.
00:41:16.000 They take an issue, they hold it hostage.
00:41:17.000 If you don't do this, we're going to protest you.
00:41:20.000 And then they do.
00:41:20.000 And then, of course, they relent to it.
00:41:25.000 This is the most important election of our lifetime.
00:41:28.000 Our values, our security, and our future are on the ballot.
