00:00:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:50.000So I want to cover a lot of topics with you today, one of which is the president fighting the Chinese coronavirus.
00:00:57.000First, can you just give us a frontline report of what you saw outside of Walter Reed Hospital, the enthusiasm, the energy, and how the media was misrepresenting it?
00:01:08.000So I actually only live about 35 minutes from Walter Reed Hospital.
00:01:13.000So when we heard that the president was going down there, got the One American News crew together, we said we're going to head down and see what the situation is like.
00:01:21.000And when we first got there on night one, there's probably only about 15 to 20 people there.
00:01:27.000It was already pretty late in the evening when we got there.
00:01:30.000But people were sending in food from all over the country.
00:01:35.000And the event, it really became an event there outside that just kept growing and growing to Saturday.
00:01:44.000And then Sunday, it was just exploding.
00:01:46.000Now, even as we speak, people are there waiting for him.
00:01:49.000And he's reportedly going to be discharged very soon.
00:01:51.000And so the media at one point was, I saw this headline from NBC saying that there was a tense moment when pro-Trump supporters were facing off with protesters.
00:02:21.000And then the mother was just to put it nicely, I think she had may have had one or two adult beverages before she came out.
00:02:30.000And when I started to interview her to ask her what was up, why they wanted to come out that night, she couldn't even explain to me why she wanted to come out.
00:02:43.000And so can you talk about the amount of enthusiasm on the ground for the president, the energy, the kind of the true grassroots nature of the Trump movement?
00:02:56.000People were coming in from all across the country, really, to support the president.
00:03:02.000That's really what spoke to me because, you know, I talk to a lot of people and they're people say, oh, from D.C., like, oh, we're here in Bethesda area.
00:04:49.000You're more than welcome to be here with us.
00:04:52.000And yet, it seems the activist media was almost in many different ways cheering for his demise and almost seemed pleasantly surprised that the president got infected.
00:05:02.000Now we are entering, re-entering into the election season.
00:05:06.000After the president has, I don't want to declare victory too soon, but it seems like he's defeated this virus.
00:05:12.000I think it's fair to say that he's on the better side of it.
00:05:14.000So, Jack, what do you think is happening in this election?
00:06:02.000You see, because if Biden were up 14 points, like the media is telling us in these polls, then why is Biden campaigning in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, right?
00:06:16.000Why is he going to the places that are where we've always thought and we know the conventional wisdom is that these are the places where the enthusiasm and where the flipping goes on, these swing states, right?
00:06:27.000The president, I'll tell you this much right now.
00:06:37.000They think Florida is in the bag for Trump.
00:06:39.000And that is incredible because Florida really is that ultimate swing state.
00:06:43.000The big worry that people have, Charlie, and I've got to tell you this, is that people know how close the election was in Pennsylvania, 44,000 votes.
00:06:51.000They know how close it was in Michigan.
00:06:53.000They know how close it was in Wisconsin.
00:06:55.000And that's where people are starting to get worried about these mail-in ballots, the counting process, knowing that we may not know the specific winner of the race on that night.
00:07:07.000And so that's what people are telling me they want to get out.
00:07:10.000It's actually making them more motivated and more enthusiastic to go out to the polls on Election Day because they know those votes will be counted during the time the polls close.
00:07:22.000So, Jack, can you talk about some of those threats to the election for President Trump?
00:07:26.000Can you talk about the tech companies, talk about the mail-in balloting, and also talk about George Soros pumping in millions of dollars, which is a very legitimate thing.
00:07:34.000So I want to cover all three of those things.
00:07:39.000Well, really, with social media, and we've seen this honestly more on Facebook and Instagram, I think, than anywhere else right now.
00:07:45.000And that's certainly what the numbers are.
00:07:47.000That this idea of fact-checking, they call it fact-checking.
00:07:51.000They say, well, you posted a humorous article or you posted a funny picture or something from the Batman V, which is a conservative satire site.
00:08:01.000But they'll fact check it and then they'll limit your post, they'll limit your engagement, they'll limit your site.
00:08:05.000We've seen numerous conservative pages be taken down, fan pages be taken down because of this.
00:08:11.000You don't see the same level of takedowns happening on the left.
00:08:16.000And I thought that all of this control, right, all these new controls, all these new environmental protections were just supposed to be there because of, remember, foreign interference.
00:08:28.000Remember after 2016, everyone was talking about foreign interference.
00:08:32.000We have to watch out for the foreign interference.
00:08:34.000You got to watch out for those Russian memes, those Russian memes that are going to swing the election.
00:08:38.000And yet, you don't really seem to hear anything about foreign interference when it comes to social media anymore.
00:08:44.000They talk about fact-checking, they talk about fighting misinformation.
00:08:47.000And then when you try to combat anybody about saying, well, excuse me, that's just a joke.
00:08:55.000They can't, I guess the algorithms don't understand that yet.
00:08:58.000And so you're seeing time and time again, conservative pages being struck down by this.
00:09:03.000Can you build out for us what we should do about the social media tyranny that we see in our country?
00:09:10.000We're going to need government action at this point.
00:09:12.000We've seen government action being taken against monopolies many times in the past.
00:09:17.000I think we really need to start understanding that that's what they are and that's the kind of power and influence they have in our country.
00:09:23.000And certainly it's not something that conservatives, right, you usually talk about.
00:09:27.000But when we understand that we want the free market, that means market competition.
00:09:32.000And you can't have that when you have a monopoly.
00:09:35.000And I think that we should always care about individual liberty.
00:09:39.000I think that is why we are conservatives, is that we want people to be able to make choices.
00:09:44.000And whether it's a corporation or a government bureaucrat getting in the way of you making choices to speak freely, to be able to buy products freely, then we should be worried about that.
00:09:54.000And that is how I reconcile going up against these corporations because a lot of these corporations are really existing as macro tyrants going after people's capacity to speak, going after people's ability to choose other products.
00:10:10.000And they are acting like totalitarian pseudo-power governments and that they feel it is their right or their prerogative to stamp out the opposition and to try to obliterate anything that they might disagree with, whether it be Amazon or whether it be Google in particular.
00:10:27.000And I think that Google's power that they exhibit over the free, you know, the free people in our republic is really creepy and scary.
00:10:36.000We're going to dive into that and much more.
00:10:38.000I want to get your thoughts on George Soros' role in this whole election.
00:10:45.000Look, here's the thing about home security companies.
00:10:47.000Most trap you with very high prices, tricky contracts, and lousy customer support the worst.
00:10:52.000So while there's a lot of options out there, there's only one no-brainer to keep your family safe from criminals.
00:10:57.000The thugs are walking the streets, maybe coming after your family.
00:12:01.000What's going on with him trying to influence this election?
00:12:03.000Well, one of the big things that we've seen from Soros this year is actually something that he started doing back in 2016.
00:12:12.000It was a sort of a program that he launched whereby he started funding district attorneys throughout the country.
00:12:20.000When people started to see that, they were like, oh, well, that's not a national thing.
00:12:23.000So maybe we don't need to worry about it.
00:12:25.000Maybe it's something that we can just leave by the wayside.
00:12:28.000But what we're now seeing is that those district attorneys, and this happened in 2018 as well, they got in power in many major cities of the United States, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco, Chicago.
00:12:43.000And they've enacted measures and are putting charges on people and police officers specifically that are extremely detrimental to those societies.
00:12:53.000Meanwhile, at the same time, because we're dealing with these situations where throughout the summer and now into the fall in places like Portland, places like Seattle, rioting and lawlessness and unrest has continued.
00:13:06.000Charges are not being brought at the local levels.
00:13:11.000And so these groups, these anarchist groups, violent criminal groups, Antifa groups, they are able to conduct their operations and really even learn to evolve and advance their operations because they're not given, they're not made to pay any really high cost for this because the charges keep getting dropped.
00:13:30.000So they know if they get arrested tonight, they're going to get back out the next night.
00:13:34.000And so this enables those groups to bed in and get more advanced networking, more advanced tactics.
00:13:42.000And when you really kind of trickle it all back, it's because there's been this breakdown in law and order because a sort of new cadre of local district attorneys in these cities has decided that for them, it's not the justice system, it's social justice that takes the priority.
00:14:01.000So, Jack, what can people do about this on the DA level?
00:14:04.000And before you even answer that question, can you just give me some idea of what your opinion is?
00:14:20.000Well, the name is thrown around a lot.
00:14:22.000And that's because, you know, not to be any kind of alarmist, but he is somebody that is certainly a mega donor to the Democrat Party and to far-left liberal movements.
00:14:59.000It is that sort of borderless flow Of people and capital and goods that sort of changes the way that people look at a country, right?
00:15:08.000And it flies in the face of everything that Donald Trump would stand for because he's someone that looks as the nation state.
00:15:16.000And he said this again and again: the nation state is the source of what makes us great as a country.
00:15:22.000But when you start breaking away those building blocks and those institutions of our nation state, like being able to control our own sovereignty, who is in our country, who is allowed to be in our country, these basic decisions that we as a country inherently would have, he funds these organizations and then individuals, politicians, and in some cases, even media organizations or media-like organizations, like you say, they're usually 501c3s that sort of act as they're some sort of accountability institute,
00:15:51.000even though his organization itself is called the Open Open Society Foundation.
00:15:54.000When it actually turns out that a lot of his stuff, when you're trying to dig into it, it's some of the most concealed and closed information that's actually out there.
00:16:03.000So I don't know how open you are, you guys.
00:16:06.000And so when we're talking about this, I mean, it really is somebody who's putting his thumb down on the side of the left with his financial donations and with these massive organizations that exist to be attack dogs for the left to smear anybody on the right.
00:16:22.000Any, you know, anybody who's to the right of Joseph Stalin immediately becomes a fascist, a Nazi, you know, and you could go down the list of all the different crazy names they come up with.
00:16:45.000And now you're starting to even see corporate shakedowns going on because they'll use, and Nancy Pelosi actually talked about this, they'll use something called the wrap-up smear.
00:16:52.000So the wrap-up smear goes like, first you get a person to smear them, and then you go get someone to report on the smear.
00:16:58.000And then people will go to an advertiser or a company and say, well, how can you support that person?
00:17:04.000Because look at what so-and-so says about them.
00:17:06.000And the advertiser, of course, doesn't know what to do.
00:17:08.000And so this is a Kafka-esque tactic that the left has started.
00:17:13.000It's been quite effective for certain media organizations, but other ones have realized what's going on, have realized that so much of this is a baseless operation that when people go out there and they say, look, we believe in this country, we believe in God, we believe in Jesus Christ, that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with that.
00:17:37.000Look, there's a serious problem out there.
00:17:39.000Our first responders and heroes, a lot of you listen to the show, a lot of them, you have relatives of first responders.
00:17:45.000You have to pay out of your pocket for gear for the job that you're doing.
00:17:50.000So, for example, if you're a police officer, or if your husband's a police officer, or EMS or medical worker, you have to deal with constrained budgets as it is.
00:17:59.000They're trying to defund the police and you have to pay out of your pocket for the gear.
00:18:03.000Hunting for military or first responder discounts has usually been a total headache.
00:18:08.000My police officer friends, who are total heroes, say they can't find the discounts they need.
00:18:12.000Big general retailers don't care about you and your sacrifices, just as long as you're just adding to the card button, typical new age corporate America.
00:18:23.000You see, GovX works directly with brands to negotiate the best prices possible because you deserve the gear you need at the prices you've earned.
00:18:30.000Plus, you can trust that the gear you're ordering is 100% authentic, direct from the manufacturer.
00:18:34.000A huge collection of gear and apparel from popular brands, all in one convenient location.
00:18:43.000If you've got a military or first responder background, visit GovX and sign up for our free for instant access to tons of deals and a community that honors your service.
00:19:05.000And should people that want fair and free elections be concerned?
00:19:08.000And if so, what specifically should we be concerned about?
00:19:12.000Yeah, people need to be concerned about mail-in ballots because there are certain states right now, particularly the western states, really that sort of left coast that we talk about, that are enacting a new type of mail-in ballots.
00:19:23.000And so, before I even get into that, let me break down exactly what we're talking about.
00:19:27.000We're not talking of what we're not talking about is absentee ballots.
00:19:31.000Absentee balloting is something that's been going on since essentially the Civil War era.
00:19:36.000That means you can't make it to the polls.
00:19:38.000So you go to your county office, you let them know that you're not going to make it.
00:19:42.000You request a mail-in ballot, they send it to you, you vote, you send it back, boom, you're done.
00:19:48.000Mail-in ballots, what we're talking about here is mass mail ballots.
00:19:54.000And I almost wonder if we should start referring to mass mail-in ballots because mass mail-in ballots means every single person who is a registered voter in that state is going to be mailed a ballot.
00:20:07.000Charlie, I think that the people in your audience are definitely smart enough to realize all the permutations of problems that could come up with just ballots going all over the place.
00:20:19.000Look, when you move somewhere, when I move somewhere, we don't always notify the county board of elections immediately that we moved.
00:20:30.000We haven't updated our address yet, or that address hasn't been reflected.
00:20:33.000Now, personally, we know that everybody else out there isn't as up automatically.
00:20:38.000And so we've already heard information or just anecdotes of people getting five, six, seven ballots in addresses of people that they've never even heard of because maybe they lived there in the past.
00:20:51.000People move in and out of the apartments here like crazy because we've got hill staffers, political staffers, campaign staffers, we've got students, people who were here during last year, but they're not here now because of COVID and everything's online.
00:21:02.000So, you know, you've got to have sort of a housing inventory that's kind of in flux.
00:21:08.000And so all of these ballots then are just going to be sent out in many of these states.
00:21:12.000Now, fortunately, it doesn't seem that this is going on in any direct battleground states, not those swing states, those Rust Belt states that we've been talking about so much.
00:21:23.000And so hopefully something like this doesn't happen.
00:21:26.000However, one thing that I'm paying very close attention to is the state of Pennsylvania.
00:21:31.000Pennsylvania is an area I'm from there.
00:21:33.000I'm from the Philadelphia area originally.
00:21:35.000I know how bad things can get in Philadelphia on a regular election day.
00:21:41.000This one is going to be completely different.
00:21:43.000So we've already had instances of mail, not even just the mail-in voters, but actually the election warehouse in Philadelphia, where the election, the voting machines are stored.
00:21:55.000We'd somebody break in there and steal the memory sticks on the voting machines that are used to program the electronic votes.
00:22:03.000So we don't, and then there was actually a local reporter who went there the next day just to kind of scope it out, was able to walk right in, even after the theft that happened, no security whatsoever.
00:22:15.000Now the city tells us that they're fixing this.
00:22:17.000But there's another issue that the city of Philadelphia has done, and that is satellite voting offices.
00:22:23.000So the state of Pennsylvania, as I just mentioned, they're not doing mass mail-in voting and they don't traditionally or currently have early voting in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:22:32.000However, the city of Philadelphia, in their wisdom, have created a new type of legal loophole for early voting.
00:22:39.000And what they're calling it is in-person absentee voting, where they've set up 17 satellite offices across the city of Philadelphia where you can go, request an absentee ballot, fill it out, hand it in, have it counted, and then leave, and they have that be your vote.
00:22:59.000They're not allowing poll watchers to go into these places because legally they're saying they're not classified as polling locations.
00:23:09.000They're just in-person mail-in voting locations.
00:23:11.000So the Trump campaign nationally is and has also a local lawsuit against the county of Philadelphia, basically saying this is a complete contrivance of the Pennsylvania election code.
00:23:27.000You cannot have what are de facto polling locations.
00:23:34.000Look, if people are going in and they are a voter and they are writing down what they're voting for and it's going in, that is a polling location.
00:23:41.000And under Pennsylvania state law, just like the law in many, many other states, each candidate and each party are entitled to poll watchers to be there to observe the vote and to make sure that everything is going above board.
00:23:58.000And it's horrifying to see what is going on with mail-in balloting across the country, just to see how, you know, the mail, the ballots are being sent to every registered voter and people have no recourse whatsoever to make sure they have fair and free elections.
00:24:13.000Jack, can you talk about the idea of a color revolution against our president?
00:24:19.000This is something that a lot of people kind of, it's the new trendy thing to talk about.
00:24:22.000We had the great Darren Beattie on here on the podcast.
00:24:26.000What are you seeing and hearing around this topic?
00:24:32.000That's certainly a part of the world that has seen these types of this phenomenon really come up, this program, which is essentially a regime change type of tactic that's used against foreign adversaries.
00:24:45.000We also saw this in the Arab Spring 2011.
00:24:48.000We saw this in Libya, where people are coming from outside of a country, NGOs, non-government organizations, foreign institutions that are brought in to sort of fan the flames of dissent and unrest and instability to push it further and further when they detect it originally.
00:25:08.000And it usually is organic when start the plan.
00:25:13.000Then when an election takes place, the first thing they do, they declare the results of that election illegitimate and they continue to radicalize and push people to the edge until something happens, until they get what they want.
00:25:26.000We are starting to see those very same tactics here in the United States.
00:25:30.000We see it with the widespread civil unrest in throughout the summer, now going into this fall.
00:25:36.000We see it in so many media outlets and so many of these former officials of our government, former national security officials telling us again and again that this election is going to be illegitimate somehow.
00:25:49.000Or you've got Mark Zuckerberg even coming out there and saying publicly, there's nothing wrong with not knowing who the president is going to be on election day.
00:26:13.000But of course, Charlie, as we talked about before, we know the power of social media.
00:26:17.000And so that seemed kind of, you know, showing you the man behind the curtain a little bit, letting you know that, yes, he does actually have that power.
00:26:24.000Social media has even said, and this is something that we've seen contingent with these color revolutions, they've said essentially that if President Trump declares victory that night and starts to give a speech, and they don't say Trump, they say if any candidates, this is what Mark Herdeber said, if any candidate declares victory before a consensus result is reached, then we will not allow that to be broadcast on our social media.
00:26:51.000And I want to really push down on this because that is chilling.
00:26:55.000That is chilling to hear anyone, you know, a techno-tyrant, tell us how our elections are going to be run.
00:27:03.000Jack, I'm stealing that term, techno-tyrant.
00:27:18.000Well, I would say that Antifa has an idea.
00:27:20.000And Antifa's idea is neo-Marxist insurrection in the United States.
00:27:26.000No, so Antifa is an idea the same way that white supremacy is an idea or radical Islam is an idea, right?
00:27:32.000So anti-fascism, of course, is a radical ideology.
00:27:35.000But then there are groups within that ideology, the way that form, the way that within radical Islam, you've got ISIS, you've got Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah.
00:27:52.000You've got Refuse Fascism, which is a national network.
00:27:54.000So you can go through and find the various different, and then, of course, the local regional cells that circulate among various cities.
00:28:02.000So Smash Racism DC or Emerald City Antifa in Seattle, by any means necessary in Berkeley, Oakland area.
00:28:12.000The idea that every morning when you wake up and you can see the video about social media, these black-clad militants smashing windows, throwing Molotov cocktails, attacking police officers, accosting people while they have their dinner where they're just trying to eat, right?
00:29:04.000You know, actually, it's kind of interesting because when the original BLM organization, BLM Inc., came about in really 2014, 2015, and then really blew up in 2016.
00:29:24.000Sean King was a huge part of this problem, that the money would be raised by these activists, but because it was done in a very open source way through crowdfunding or companies that were giving money to an organization, there were even times where corporate donations in the past were going to organizations that had Black Lives Matter.
00:29:47.000And I think there was one, and I'm sure, fact-checking on this, but I think it was called Black Lives Matter Global that was taking money from various corporations and it wasn't even affiliated with the main Black Lives Matter.
00:29:59.000So somebody just set up a 501c3 and was taking money, and corporations were giving it to them because they were just taking it.
00:30:54.000I mean, Joe Biden was trying to say, it's just an idea.
00:30:57.000Well, when you get a brick thrown through your window or you get stormed out of a restaurant like Candace Owens and I did in Philadelphia, it's a lot more than just an idea.
00:31:24.000They got the best meat in the country because Good Ranchers began with the standard of bringing top quality, 100% American boring, raised and harvested meat to families across America.
00:31:34.000This vision was instilled into them from their grandparents that owned community grocery stores and believed in trust, charity, American values.
00:31:39.000Maybe you're a college student and you're tired of just eating the endless piles of garbage they feed you.
00:31:44.000Maybe you're a single mother and you just want to be able to feed your kids good protein.
00:31:47.000Or maybe you're a father with an obligation to put food on the table.
00:31:53.000Well, why don't you put meat on the table from goodranchers.com?
00:31:58.000You get 100% American raised beef right to your door, beef the way it used to be.
00:32:55.000We were probably one of the only networks that got COVID weekend right in terms of our sources, our real sources, in and out of the White House, sort of medical team there, finding out what the status of the president was.
00:33:07.000And the first lady, by the way, because I don't even think any other media outlet was asking about the status of the first lady.
00:34:23.000So we know about Teddy, but why don't we know that an anarcho-socialist assassin actually killed one of our presidents, right?
00:34:29.000There's so much information that's out there.
00:34:31.000And then we're going to get into what happened in Portland, right?
00:34:34.000The killing of a Trump supporter on the streets.
00:34:36.000We're going to get into what happened in Dayton, Ohio, one of these Antifa guys who just decides to just kind of cut loose.
00:34:42.000He gets activated and he goes out on a horrific killing spree, a shooting spree.
00:34:48.000And we're even in some cases, I don't want to reveal too much about the special just yet, but I will say that certain things are going to be done in terms of a dramatic reenactment.
00:34:59.000So it's almost like a docudrama in some parts of this.
00:35:03.000We're doing stuff really with this project that you don't see happen very often from the right.
00:35:10.000Typically, we're pretty good with ideas, but we don't usually do so well when it comes to culture, when it comes to actually showing something that people want to sit down and watch, watch with their friends, talk about, start a conversation.
00:35:30.000What we're doing is showing something that would stand up with Hollywood standards on any of those streaming services, anything that you're seeing out in movies today.
00:35:39.000It's actually the very camera that we're using for this thing is the exact same camera they used to film the girl with the dragon tattoo.
00:35:46.000That's literally the level that we're at in terms of the production of this.
00:35:50.000And the trailer that we just released, the president retweeted, it's got a couple of million views already.
00:35:55.000So we're very excited about that and also very excited that the president is doing better because we're hoping he's going to be able to see it.
00:36:02.000Jack, thank you so much for joining the Charlie Kirk Show.
