00:01:07.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.000It is very, very late on the East Coast.
00:01:24.000In fact, some could say it's very early.
00:01:26.000I watched the Democrat National Convention, so you didn't have to, admittedly.
00:01:30.000I stepped out for a couple minutes to make a couple important phone calls when all the states were doing their nomination saying that Joe Biden's going to be president.
00:01:38.000It's actually probably one of the more creative ways.
00:01:41.000I have to give the Democrats credit of the entire convention was their roll call.
00:01:46.000I actually, I hate giving Democrats credit.
00:01:49.000It was actually pretty good, the entire convention.
00:01:52.000I don't think it won them any votes, but I think that they actually put a lot of thought and creative energy and money into the roll call.
00:01:59.000Some were really weird, I have to say.
00:02:02.000And there were just a couple of very disturbing trends throughout the night.
00:02:08.000So we have the entire analysis for you right here, right now.
00:02:11.000And if you missed the Democrat National Convention, good.
00:02:16.000You're probably a much happier person than I am tonight because I had to watch two hours of people that really are committed to destroying our nation and destroying our republic.
00:02:28.000But I did just get done with a very well-received and well-watched live stream that was very fun with Michael Knowles with instant reactions.
00:02:38.000So I encourage you to listen to our sister episode of my instant reaction with Michael Knowles right after the Democrat National Convention.
00:02:45.000But we didn't really cover in that live stream with Michael Knowles all the specifics.
00:02:49.000I want to go over the specific speakers, some of the takeaways, where we are headed because of what we have learned tonight at the Democrat National Convention, things I think they did well, and things I think that they did very poorly.
00:03:02.000So I asked our team here on the Charlie Kirk show, I said, can you put together kind of a word count or a word subject count and some Twitter account?
00:03:11.000I love the incredible amount of genius out on the internet because there's some person on Twitter that always does something for you that you might be looking for that you didn't even know you needed.
00:03:23.000And there was just one Twitter account that decided to have a running tally of the word count out there.
00:04:05.000Stacey Abrams, who calls herself still the self-declared winner of the Georgia race in 2018, she was so bitter that she lost to now Governor Brian Kemp that she still declared herself the winner for many months after, despite her losing the race definitively.
00:04:23.000She took some time off from being fake governor of Georgia and her grueling schedule to address the convention.
00:04:29.000She helped kick things off on night two, and she got it started with trying to divide America in racial identity politics.
00:05:32.000It means that you could be a criminal if the ends justify the means, or if you're being a criminal, it's a good thing because it is in the pursuit of what they consider to be righteous and justice.
00:05:45.000All throughout the evening, the left was trying to, again, have a performative contradiction.
00:05:52.000They were trying to make themselves seem like they love America while bashing America.
00:05:56.000They were trying to say they wanted to win swing voters while platforming some of the most disgraced and divisive figures in the entire Democrat Party.
00:06:06.000It kind of hit me through watching this Zoom call that they call the Democrat National Convention.
00:06:22.000And you might wonder what I mean by that.
00:06:25.000There is a corporate governing class of the Democrat Party that calls the shots.
00:06:32.000That is fueled mostly by six or seven factional single-issue voting groups.
00:06:40.000This fusion has been made possible because of the Democrats' pathological hatred of Donald Trump, because of how much they want Donald Trump to be removed from office, because of how serious they are at making sure Republicans do not get anywhere close to power again.
00:06:57.000That is the only thing that unites all these different factions together.
00:07:02.000So the six or seven factions are the anti-gun group, the feminist group, the environmental group, the Native Indigenous America Never Should have been formed in the first place group, the social justice group, and then the special interest group of public sector unions, the SCIU, the American Federation of Teachers, all these other special interest groups on the radical left.
00:07:25.000They all kind of combine and they are the base of the Democrat Party, but they're actually not the ones that are calling the shots for the Democrat Party.
00:07:33.000This is a huge distinction between the Democrat and the Republican Party right now.
00:07:36.000And the Republican Party, actually, despite what some polling might reflect, is in a much healthier position than a Democrat Party.
00:07:43.000Because the Democrat Party has this forced marriage and an upcoming and looming civil war, which is actually embodied perfectly in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's remarks.
00:07:54.000And I want to go deeper into actually how there isn't a Democrat Party that exists.
00:07:58.000But first, I want to talk to you about ExpressVPN.
00:08:00.000ExpressVPN is the software that I and thousands of my fans use every day to protect our data online.
00:08:07.000In the time since I started using ExpressVPN, hacking methods have grown even more sophisticated.
00:08:12.000I'm sure many of you are working from home these days.
00:08:14.000And without your IT department to protect you from online threats, it's important that you take action on your own to secure your devices you use for work.
00:08:21.000That's why I recommend using ExpressVPN for the best online protection possible.
00:08:25.000Whether it be the Chinese or the Iranian mullahs that want to come into your device, you need some way to protect yourself from the hackers.
00:08:33.000Whether it be the Russian government, you want to put your country first.
00:08:36.000You have to put your devices first, and you need to be protected.
00:08:39.000I've been talking about ExpressVPN in my show for so long now that you already understand probably why encrypting your network data is so critical.
00:09:00.000So there really isn't a Democrat Party.
00:09:02.000And tonight, you kind of actually saw a higher platform given to the ruling governing class of the corporate Democrats than the base of the Democrat Party.
00:09:16.000Sally Yates, of course, was the deputy attorney general during the Obama administration and acting attorney general during the Trump transition.
00:09:23.000She attacked the travel ban, calling it shameful, saying she refused to enforce the shameful order.
00:09:28.000She is held up as a hero, when in reality, she's actually very complicit in a lot of the deep state activity by the Obama Justice Department and the Obama deep state government to spy on Donald Trump.
00:09:40.000She said this: quote, we need a president who will restore the soul of America.
00:10:26.000I'm pretty sure that's what Democrats do.
00:10:29.000And he said that Donald Trump hid in the bunker.
00:10:32.000They're just trying to aggravate Donald Trump to try to turn this into a Twitter battle.
00:10:37.000I don't think the president's going to take the bait on that one when in reality, it's Joe Biden who is hiding in his bunker, too scared to come out to his own convention when Donald Trump is crisscrossing the country, governing.
00:10:53.000Next up was Bill Clinton, who in a party that has embraced Me Too and the feminist insurgent movement so heavily also decides to platform the president who has been under more serious accusations from the feminist movement, more so than any other person.
00:11:12.000So as Bill Clinton is under these serious accusations, credible accusations, of being on Lolita Express, going down to the island of Jeffrey Epstein, of being around the sex trafficking of minor children and women, this is now the person that they want to elevate in the time where they're trying to win over suburban voters.
00:11:32.00026 documented times, he went on the Lolita Express based on flight logs and other eyewitness accounts have seen him on the island.
00:11:40.000So he said something about how during a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center, not a storm center.
00:12:48.000I refuse to take lessons about the sanctity of the Oval Office from the impeached and predator Bill Clinton.
00:12:58.000If you don't believe me, just ask Monica Lewinsky.
00:13:01.000Clinton says he wants an economy better for young people and for farmers.
00:13:06.000But it was Bill Clinton and Joe Biden who created NAFTA, the number one job killer for both farmers and young people without college degrees.
00:13:15.000Clinton said Trump would bully and blame and belittle.
00:13:20.000Is that kind of what Hillary Clinton did to your accusers?
00:13:24.000He also called Biden the down-to-earth guy to get the job done.
00:13:28.000Never mind, that is literally Trump's main selling point.
00:13:31.000He's literally built buildings while Biden has done nothing his entire life except sell out our country to China and ship jobs overseas and make sure his family got preferential deals with foreign governments.
00:13:44.000He says Joe gave the American people specific plans on what he wants to do, then references a series of far-left policies straight from the Democrat Socialism of America platform, the Bernie manifesto that we discussed last night.
00:13:57.000And I encourage you guys to check out our podcast from last evening.
00:14:41.000If I were to teach a class on how to give a nominating speech, I would give the class on Bill Clinton's 2012 convention speech, which clocked in at 48 minutes.
00:15:04.000It was before a lot of these accusations surfaced that were just rumors at the time, but now they're very credible criminal investigations and accusations.
00:15:13.000The New York Times called his speech that he just gave a, quote, chance to address the party that left him behind.
00:15:20.000So compared to that stage-stealing keynote, and I say this as a constitutional conservative, Bill Clinton has talent.
00:15:31.000He doesn't have the energy that he once had.
00:15:34.000I mean, he has spoken at every Democrat convention for more than three decades.
00:15:38.000And Bill Clinton went from that stage-stealing performance in 2012 to a five-minute Zoom call tonight.
00:15:46.000There's a rule in politics that I follow, and it's not perfect, but it's pretty good, that generally the more interesting candidate wins the election.
00:15:55.000Generally, the candidate who is more able to captivate audiences, get people off the couch, start conversations, they are going to win.
00:16:07.000I think Barack Obama was one of the worst presidents in American history.
00:16:25.000I lived through it in 2008 as a high school student, as a freshman in high school, when everyone was wearing Obama shirts, when people flooded Grant Park in downtown Chicago when he won the election in November of 2008.
00:16:41.000And I don't mean it as saying that Barack Obama's election was good for the country, but it was a special moment when I was a freshman in high school and people were so excited.
00:16:50.000I mean, it was the only thing that ever compared to it in the city of Chicago was when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup or when the Cubs won the World Series.
00:16:57.000When the Cubs won the World Series, that was palatable.
00:17:03.000However, when Barack Obama ran, there was never a question of enthusiasm.
00:17:09.000It was like almost Barack Obama was such a talented politician, awful president, horrendous worldview, had bitterness for our country, but such a good politician that he almost made other people better around him.
00:17:23.000So Barack Obama almost raised the stakes of the game that it made Bill Clinton have to step up.
00:17:31.000And it's this old theory of kind of how the rising tide lifts all boats.
00:17:36.000Joe Biden is so mentally incapacitated.
00:17:40.000He is so uninspiring that some of these other speakers don't feel kind of a need to step up.
00:17:47.000And you'd think it would be the opposite.
00:17:48.000You'd think that they would feel more of a need to step up.
00:19:06.000And the media has now been describing John Kerry as vibrant compared to Bill Clinton.
00:19:12.000And the top story on Fox News tonight is Bill Clinton, once the dominant Democrat, now a footnote at convention.
00:19:19.000And Me Too also diminished Bill Clinton, make no mistake.
00:19:22.000And the DC, the DNC is almost embarrassed to have him.
00:19:25.000It's almost like they don't want to have to embrace the storyline of what if he doesn't speak, but they almost have to find a place to slug him into.
00:19:33.000And so I want to dive deeper into kind of this convention and some of the outliers here.
00:19:37.000And I definitely want to get to the young socialists from New York who's become a repeated mention of a lot of our commentary here.
00:19:43.000But first, let's talk about small business.
00:19:46.000America's ready to get back to work, but to win in the new economy, you need every advantage to succeed.
00:19:52.000Smart companies run a NetSuite by Oracle, the world's number one cloud business system.
00:19:57.000With NetSuite, you'll have the visibility and control over your financials, HR, inventory, e-commerce, and more.
00:20:30.000And so then came Alexandria Acasio-Cortez.
00:20:33.000I think AOC is still trying to find her voice in this party.
00:20:37.000As I mentioned earlier, there really isn't a Democrat party.
00:20:40.000This is kind of just a it's almost like how it was in the Balkan peninsula under Tito in the former Yugoslavia.
00:20:50.000If any of you understand geopolitics of Europe, you had many countries that hated each other, but they were unified by a dictator and a centralized fear or theme.
00:21:00.000It's not a perfect comparison, but as soon as that fear or theme left Tito's death, the Serbs went to war with the Croatians, who went to war with the Bosnians, who went to war with the Albanians, and the entire region fell apart.
00:21:14.000And they're almost at odds with each other.
00:21:16.000It's not as bad as it was in the 90s, but they're still at odds with each other.
00:21:22.000And to use that comparison and that analogy to play it out into Democrat politics, you have these factions that really have contempt for each other.
00:21:30.000Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out and she said she's here to nominate Bernie Sanders for president.
00:21:37.000I'm a huge, vocal critic of Alexandria Casio-Cortez.
00:21:46.000I don't know if this was checked off, but the fact that she went and she said she was there to nominate Bernie Sanders for president, good for her.
00:22:27.000She said that they have to start a mass people's movement.
00:22:30.000Guaranteed health care, guaranteed higher education, labor rights, recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonialization, homophobia, reform systems, and turn away from the violence of xenophobia of our past.
00:22:42.000Millions of people looking for deeper systemic solutions.
00:23:04.000Good evening, bienvenidos, and thank you to everyone here today endeavoring towards a better, more just future for our country and our world.
00:23:14.000In fidelity and gratitude to a mass people's movement working to establish 21st-century social, economic, and human rights, including guaranteed health care, higher education, living wages, and labor rights for all people in the United States.
00:23:33.000A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny, and homophobia.
00:23:43.000And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past.
00:23:54.000A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few at the expense of long-term stability for the many.
00:24:09.000And who organized a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy in a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep, systemic solutions to our crises of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care.
00:24:28.000And at espirito del pueblo and out of a love for all people, I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for President of the United States of America.
00:24:40.000And so one of the big takeaways from Cortez's speech is how she represents the base of the party and how far Joe Biden is from Cortez, at least on the appearance.
00:24:53.000Now, I'm not saying that they're far away on actual practice, but on appearance, I mean, look, her opening shot in just 60 seconds, you heard it yourself, colonialization, racial injustice, homophobia.
00:25:05.000I mean, my goodness, your head is spinning.
00:25:06.000You're like, how many different social movements are you trying to start here?
00:25:12.000And so Alexandria Casio-Cortez got in a Twitter fight with John Kasich over something about how she was upset that he spoke and there was some response back and forth of him being a Republican that endorsed Biden.
00:25:24.000I think the Democrats have some internal polling that shows that she's a problem, that Alexandria Casio-Cortez is a big problem, that she alienates swing voters, but she takes up huge amounts of press on the right and on the left, by the way.
00:25:38.000She is clickbait for both parties, like big-time clickbait.
00:25:42.000She is clickbait for Fox News viewers.
00:25:45.000She is clickbait for Huffington Post readers.
00:25:47.000So the Democrat Party had to manage her.
00:25:50.000But here's the good news for those of us that love our country, that are patriots.
00:25:54.000This Democrat Party is barely being held together.
00:25:57.000I'm watching this, and it's actually one of the Solinsky rules.
00:26:02.000Always make your enemy think you are stronger than you actually are.
00:26:06.000The Democrats have done a great job of this throughout the last couple of years.
00:26:13.000In fact, if you go back up to the kind of word count that we were talking about earlier, they talked many times about bringing the country together, compassion, kindness, empathy, decency, civility, dignity.
00:27:45.000Look, there are so many testimonials, and switching is so easy.
00:27:48.000You can keep your phone and your phone number, and they'll just send you a new SIM card so you can get the same great service you currently have, but at half the price.
00:28:38.000And Alexandria Kaiser-Cortez was the only one that mentioned colonialization.
00:28:44.000To understand the base of the Democrat Party, you must understand that they believe that the founding of our country, the rightful designation of the 13 colonies, the expansion of the Northwest Territories, and the Louisiana Purchase was all illegally done.
00:29:28.000It is attractive for people that do not know history.
00:29:32.000But I'm telling you that this is something I really want you to be aware of.
00:29:37.000And we're going to do an entire podcast diving into the historical fallaciousness of this and how fake and how backwards it is.
00:29:45.000But you have to understand that the Democrats' end goal is to empower and to promote voices that truly believe that the United States has been a force for evil in the world, not a force for good.
00:29:59.000That the United States was illegally founded.
00:30:02.000That the United States came out of a reign of terror, not a hero's journey.
00:30:09.000And Cortez mentioned that in her speech, and the Democrat Party trying to manage her only gave her 60 seconds.
00:30:16.000And as it went on, it was a really interesting kind of closing note outside of the Indigenous Peoples Land.
00:30:25.000But I would be remiss if I didn't mention Colin Powell.
00:30:28.000I mean, Colin Powell hasn't voted Republican in 16 years.
00:30:32.000He's best known for lying in front of the United Nations and getting us into one of the worst foreign policy decisions in the Middle East in Iraq.
00:31:01.000So as we keep an eye on the rest of this week, it's going to be very interesting to see how the Democrat Party keeps their radical forces at bay, try to continue to pander to black identity politics, and try to have more Republicans say, we like Joe Biden too.
00:31:34.000Next week, the Republicans have a massive opportunity.
00:31:38.000Some would say a huge opportunity to win over the middle part of the country and reinvigorate the conservative base.
00:31:45.000We talk about that with Michael Knowles and so much more.
00:31:47.000And we are going to continue to give you the incident analysis of who spoke at these conventions, the lessons and the takeaways, and exactly the direction of the Democrat Party and how we can best be suited to defeat them coming into November.
00:32:00.000What the Democrats did right tonight, I think their roll call was probably pretty good.
00:32:04.000I think that Jill Biden gave a pretty good speech.
00:32:06.000I actually thought the aesthetic of her being in a classroom and walking through the hall, I think that's pretty memorable.
00:32:45.000It is 3.30 Eastern in the morning, giving you the analysis, giving you the update that you need so you know exactly what's happening in the country at these conventions.
00:32:53.000If you might have missed it and the deeper, more philosophical analysis that you might be looking for.
