00:00:00.000 Thank you for listening to this podcast one production.
00:00:02.000 Now available on Apple Podcasts, Podcast One, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
00:00:08.000 Hey, everybody, great to be back in the saddle.
00:00:10.000 Thank you for listening to our interview with President Trump.
00:00:14.000 If you have not checked it out, you guys have got to download the episode and listen to my exclusive interview with President Trump.
00:00:20.000 So while I was planning the rally for the president in Phoenix, Arizona, with over 3,000 students, I was still watching this story because I was so bothered when I saw this guy named Bubba Wallace.
00:00:35.000 Look, I didn't know Bubble Wallace up until a couple weeks ago.
00:00:38.000 I have a lot of respect for people in NASCAR.
00:00:43.000 I have a lot of friends in NASCAR, but NASCAR is not exactly my favorite activity in the world.
00:00:50.000 That's fine.
00:00:51.000 Everyone has their own preferences, and that's fine.
00:00:54.000 So when Bubba Wallace, who I'd never heard of before, he said, I found a noose in my garage.
00:00:59.000 And the team at the Charlie Kirk show, we have a text message to prove it.
00:01:03.000 They will tell you, I said, this is a hoax 100%.
00:01:06.000 Like, there's no way that what is being accused is that someone came in during this time of heightened racial tensions and put in a noose.
00:01:15.000 So on Monday, it was reported the FBI was investigating the discovery of a noose found in the Talladega Super Speedway garage of Bubba Wallace.
00:01:24.000 Now, mind you, he's NASCAR's only black driver. 0.99
00:01:27.000 So he's a total fool. 1.00
00:01:28.000 He walks around with his Black Lives Matter shirt. 1.00
00:01:33.000 And he was the big voice to try to ban the Confederate flags.
00:01:38.000 Again, I'm not a huge Confederate flag advocate.
00:01:41.000 I'm not someone that would ever associate with a Confederate flag.
00:01:45.000 However, I think that when people have Confederate flags, it's less in defense of what the Confederacy stood for and more about Southern pride and a culture that is uniquely Southern within the United States of America.
00:01:58.000 So I do not support the forcible removal of Confederate flags.
00:02:02.000 I don't.
00:02:03.000 But on the morning of Talladega, one of NASCAR's biggest races of the entire season, Bubba Wallace said he found a noose in his garage.
00:02:12.000 Now, mind you, because of the Chinese coronavirus, fans were not granted access to the infield or the restricted area of the Cup Series garage.
00:02:20.000 It's very important.
00:02:21.000 So under strict new health guidelines, a very limited number of people can access the garage where the cars are kept.
00:02:27.000 That would include crew members for each of the 40 teams, which are NASCAR employees.
00:02:34.000 Talladega staff members and any contracted safety crews or security guards were only people that had access to it.
00:02:40.000 So you're dealing with a limited population as it is.
00:02:42.000 Now, of course, the response to when he said he found the noose, it was so quick and overwhelming and reactionary.
00:02:48.000 As soon as I was watching it, I said, there's no way this is true.
00:02:51.000 It's just, first of all, it's hard to get restricted access into any sort of individual's private locker.
00:03:00.000 Second of all, during this time in our country, it would just be so illogical and improbable that someone would do this, especially to NASCAR's only black driver.
00:03:10.000 It didn't add up.
00:03:11.000 And so Jeff Gordon, who called it a cowardly act, NASCAR driver Michael McDowell said, God help us.
00:03:18.000 The level of evil it takes to do something like this is disgusting.
00:03:21.000 This is enraging and heartbreaking all at the same time.
00:03:23.000 Alabama Governor Kay Ivey said she was shocked and appalled by this vile act.
00:03:27.000 She fell for the hoax, as did many other conservatives.
00:03:31.000 I didn't, and I have the text messages to prove it.
00:03:34.000 I only wish I would have gone public with it, but I didn't because I said, I don't know.
00:03:38.000 I don't want to have to deal with the hysteria of that and the backtrack and this and that.
00:03:42.000 The vindication, by the way, would be nowhere even close to the canceling that I would have experienced if I would have done what I believed was a conjecture at the time.
00:03:52.000 Because I did it on just a little bit of gut instinct, but it turned out to be true. 0.97
00:03:57.000 And of course, LeBron James, who we have cataloged plenty of times on this show, who's a total fool, he said this, sickening. 0.97
00:04:02.000 Bubba Wallace, my brother, no, you don't stand alone. 0.98
00:04:05.000 I'm right here with you as well, as every other athlete is.
00:04:07.000 I just want to continue to say how proud I am for you to continue to stand and take a change here in America and in sports. 0.95
00:04:12.000 And the future ex-senator of Alabama, Doug Jones, who is also a fool and very lucky he ran up against who he ran up against. 0.94
00:04:18.000 He said, We're with you, Bubba. 0.98
00:04:19.000 The journey to racial justice has taken far too long.
00:04:22.000 Keep your eyes on Bubba Wallace at Talladega.
00:04:24.000 Keep that racist noose in your thoughts and ask, when will this end?
00:04:27.000 Maybe Bubba can get us a checkered flag a little bit sooner.
00:04:30.000 It's time, America.
00:04:32.000 Okay.
00:04:33.000 But if we've learned anything in the age of media coverage under Donald Trump, it's that things are not always what they might seem.
00:04:40.000 That's why I said what I said internally and I had our team.
00:04:43.000 I said, we're not issuing any statements.
00:04:45.000 By the way, I had people reaching out.
00:04:46.000 They said, well, Charlie, what's your thought on Bubba Wallace?
00:04:48.000 He said, I'll get back to you.
00:04:50.000 I don't really want to jump on it.
00:04:51.000 I mean, there's so many, there were other conservatives that were just tweeting out, like, oh, this is horrible.
00:04:55.000 This is awful.
00:04:56.000 I said, hold on a sec.
00:04:57.000 Slow down.
00:04:58.000 After Jussie Smollett, after the Covington thing, which I admit, I got the Covington thing wrong because I believe the media report.
00:05:06.000 I said, wait a second, I'm going to learn from this.
00:05:09.000 And how about the Kentucky gun range that ABC tried to pass off as a war in Syria?
00:05:14.000 If the media can exploit a hoax to hurt Trump or disparage his base, they absolutely will.

00:06:10.000 So as soon as this broke, the FBI sent down a team of 15 investigators to get to the bottom of this so-called hate crime.
00:06:17.000 So first of all, 15 FBI agents?
00:06:19.000 What are they going to go arrest Roger Stone?
00:06:21.000 I mean, it's unbelievable.
00:06:23.000 I mean, we can't get 15 FBI agents to go find out who's burning down American cities or to go arrest the domestic terrorists all across the country.
00:06:32.000 And what did they determine?
00:06:33.000 Well, as the Associated Press reported, U.S. Attorney Jay Town, an FBI special agent in charge, Johnny Sharp Jr., said its investigation determined: quote, although the noose is now known to have been in the garage number four in 2019, no one could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to Garage 4 last week.
00:06:52.000 Now, mind you, it was not a noose.
00:06:54.000 It looks like a noose, but it's not a noose.
00:06:57.000 It's a garage door closer.
00:07:01.000 A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the thing that looks like the noose Sunday at the Alabama racetrack.
00:07:07.000 NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents.
00:07:11.000 What are they going to go invade a Central American country?
00:07:14.000 I mean, 15, would five not have been sufficient? 0.99
00:07:17.000 My goodness.
00:07:18.000 And they determined that no federal crime was committed.
00:07:21.000 The statement said the garage stall was assigned to Wallace last week in advance of the race scheduled for Sunday, but held on Monday because of rain.
00:07:28.000 So through video, though, it confirmed by NASCAR, it was discovered that the thing that looked like the noose was there since October 2019.
00:07:36.000 And I just want to point out, and I've said this previously, I'm going to say it again.
00:07:41.000 Why is it that the FBI was so aggressive on this?
00:07:45.000 Where are their priorities?
00:07:47.000 Has the Bureau arrested anyone for these statues that I know of?
00:07:51.000 Maybe a couple people here and there, a little sparking violation citations.
00:07:56.000 But, like, real federal charges, here's some of the facts: it was a garage door opener, it looked like something bad.
00:08:05.000 It wasn't.
00:08:06.000 Now, I understand Bubba Wallace is not very intelligent. 1.00
00:08:09.000 I understand he's a total and complete fool. 0.99
00:08:12.000 But for him to double down and repeat this, maybe not, maybe Bubba Wallace can be like, wow, that looks like a noose. 0.99
00:08:17.000 Instead of making a media sensation around this, where everyone takes a lap with Bubba Wallace and they get the entire news cycle around it, maybe Bubba Wallace should have been like, huh, maybe it's a garage door opener.
00:08:32.000 Brilliant, Bubba Wallace.
00:08:35.000 But again, even now, you have the media covering for it.
00:08:40.000 I mean, there was a New York Times article that basically was like the complicated story about Bubba Wallace's discovery.
00:08:45.000 Like, it's really not that complicated. 0.96
00:08:48.000 You have a foolish, emotive, pathological individual, Bubba Wallace, who, again, he's not that smart, so you can't give him that hard of a time. 0.99
00:08:58.000 But this is so reckless. 1.00
00:09:01.000 It's so unbelievably reckless.
00:09:02.000 So then Bubba goes on CNN with Don Lemon, and the combined IQ of that duo is dangerously low.
00:09:10.000 And he said this quote: It was a noose.
00:09:13.000 It was a noose that whether it was tied to 2019 or whatever, it was a noose.
00:09:17.000 He said it three times.
00:09:18.000 How you know he's lying.
00:09:20.000 So it wasn't directed at me, but somebody tied a noose four times.
00:09:23.000 Playtape.
00:09:24.000 Have you seen ropes like that hanging from garages?
00:09:27.000 Is that typical?
00:09:30.000 Don, the image that I have and I have seen of what was hanging in my garage is not a garage pool.
00:09:39.000 I've been racing all my life.
00:09:41.000 We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pools like that.
00:09:46.000 So people that want to call it a garage pool and put out old videos and photos of knots being in there as their evidence.
00:09:56.000 Go ahead.
00:09:57.000 But from the evidence that we have and that I have, it's a straight up noose.
00:10:03.000 The FBI has stated it was a noose over and over again.
00:10:06.000 NASCAR leadership has stated that it was a noose.
00:10:10.000 I can confirm that.
00:10:11.000 I actually got evidence of what was hanging in my garage over my car around my picker guys to confirm that it was a noose and never seen anything like it.
00:10:22.000 It's not something I talked to my crew chief about.
00:10:25.000 I said, is this something like I wanted to make sure we weren't jumping the gun?
00:10:30.000 And I said, this isn't a knot.
00:10:32.000 This isn't just a regular old whatcha.
00:10:34.000 He's like, Bubba, this isn't something that can be done within a second of just tying a knot and being on the way.
00:10:40.000 This is something that took time.
00:10:41.000 So what are you saying here?
00:10:43.000 Are you saying that you don't believe?
00:10:47.000 Do you believe that it was intended for you in that way?
00:10:51.000 Or are you what are you saying here?
00:10:54.000 It was a noose.
00:10:55.000 It was a noose that was whether tied in 2019 or whatever.
00:10:58.000 It was a noose.
00:11:00.000 So it wasn't directed to me, but somebody tied a noose.
00:11:02.000 That's what I am saying.
00:11:05.000 It was, it is a noose.
00:11:08.000 So, of course, Don Lemon, who is again, you combine Bubba Wallace and Don Lemon's IQ and double it.
00:11:17.000 It doesn't even hit room temperature.
00:11:19.000 Okay?
00:11:20.000 Very low.
00:11:21.000 And by the way, Don Lemon did nothing to push back against this at all.
00:11:26.000 Nothing at all whatsoever.
00:11:28.000 Because they just want to make the point that America's racist.
00:11:34.000 Garage door opener looks like a noose.
00:11:36.000 Why not?
00:11:39.000 Is there any sort of intellectual maturity anymore in this country?
00:11:44.000 Is there any sort of maybe, hey, maybe, maybe it's not a noose?
00:11:46.000 Like, let's slow it down, everybody.
00:11:49.000 Maybe there's another utility for it.
00:11:52.000 Maybe it was used for something else, like opening and closing a garage.
00:11:57.000 Now, Al Sharpton, the charlatan, Sharpton, the Charlatan, he said that racism warrants further investigations because we have so much racism, we must continue to investigate play tape.
00:12:12.000 So, Reverend Sharpton, what Bubba Wallace is referring to there is that other reports that that was actually a door pull for the garage, the way to close the door when it's up and bring it down.
00:12:23.000 But the FBI, as Bubba Wallace said right there, again and again referred to it as a noose.
00:12:28.000 We should take it as good news that someone didn't place it into his stall specifically as the only full-time black driver in NASCAR who pushed to have those Confederate flags removed from NASCAR events.
00:12:39.000 And NASCAR did take that step last week.
00:12:42.000 But it does appear there was a noose, as the FBI is calling it, placed in that garage last fall.
00:12:49.000 The FBI identified it as a noose.
00:12:52.000 NASCAR said it was a noose or went along with the FBI's characterization.
00:12:58.000 It was a noose.
00:12:59.000 So the question is, even if they did not know that Bubba Wallace was going to use that stall, why was a noose in the stall?
00:13:08.000 It's clear what a noose represents. 0.51
00:13:11.000 And I think to go whether or not they knew that sooner or later the one black driver would use that stall really doesn't answer why it was in the stall at all. 0.58
00:13:23.000 And then did someone know that it was in the stall when they did belatedly assign Bubba there?
00:13:29.000 So I don't think this answers a lot of questions.
00:13:32.000 And clearly from what we just saw of Bubba Wallace, it does not seem he, who is the victim and possible target in this matter, seems to be satisfied with this.
00:13:42.000 I do not think that we've seen closure in this particular inquiry.
00:13:48.000 Now, did you see what happened there?
00:13:50.000 Even though the host knew that it was not a noose that was placed there with this malicious intent, he still kept pushing the hoax.
00:13:57.000 You should ask yourself why and then ask yourself this.
00:14:02.000 Why don't you ever see conservatives faking hate crimes against MAGA hat wearers?
00:14:05.000 Can you name one?
00:14:07.000 Because we don't have to.
00:14:11.000 Because they actually happen.
00:14:13.000 Do you remember the voter registration booth that got ran over in Florida because they were registering Republicans for the Florida Republican Party?
00:14:20.000 Do you remember the 14-year-old boy on the school bus that got viciously beat up for wearing a MAGA hat?
00:14:24.000 Or the 15-year-old boy who was violently attacked at a New Hampshire voter registration booth for supporting Trump?
00:14:30.000 It was an Antifa member who beat him, by the way.
00:14:32.000 Or how about Andy No, who's a gay Asian journalist who got beat in the street. 0.63
00:14:36.000 He had a brain bleed.
00:14:37.000 No one was arrested.
00:14:38.000 Antifa still prowls the streets to this day to commit terror.
00:14:41.000 By the way, did one of those Antifa people, did they commit the murder in chaos?
00:14:45.000 We don't know because we have no idea who did any of it.
00:14:49.000 What about the Covington Catholic kids who were framed and then set them up brutally to get attacked online?
00:14:54.000 By the way, go listen to our sister episode of ALX.
00:14:57.000 He reminded me that there were blue check verified people on Twitter that showed the Covington kids being killed and they kept their accounts.
00:15:04.000 I can go on and I could go on.
00:15:06.000 I can go on. 0.99
00:15:07.000 How about Candace Owens and I getting stormed out of a restaurant because we support the president?
00:15:12.000 How about Hayden Williams getting punched in the face on the campus of University of California, Berkeley?
00:15:17.000 How about our Turning Point USA chapter leader at Tulane University, whose dormitory was firebombed?
00:15:22.000 How about our Turning Point USA chapter in Park City, Utah, where over 18 kids were hospitalized because a leftist came in with bear spray?
00:15:30.000 You probably didn't hear that story in your local news media, did you?
00:15:33.000 Where Turning Point USA kids are getting punched in the face.
00:15:35.000 Their dormitories are getting firebombed.
00:15:37.000 And yet our kids continue to press on.
00:15:39.000 We're not playing victim. 0.97
00:15:40.000 We're not like the fool, Bubba, and Jussie Smollett, Bubba Smollett, where they're trying to create fake hate crimes so they can get attention. 0.96
00:15:50.000 Causes so much damage to our country. 0.94
00:15:55.000 We do not have to fake hate crimes because they actually happen to conservatives.
00:16:03.000 And you compare that to the left.
00:16:05.000 John Nulty at the terrific website, Breitbart News.
00:16:09.000 Alex Marlowe's coming back on our show sometime soon.
00:16:11.000 He's your friend.
00:16:12.000 Put together a list of at least nine different noose-related hate crime hoaxes in just the past 10 years.
00:16:18.000 None of them were true.
00:16:20.000 Now, what agenda are people like Bubba, Don Lemon, and Jussie Smollett trying to peddle?
00:16:27.000 And why?
00:16:29.000 That's the question that needs to be answered here.
00:16:32.000 Think about it.
00:16:34.000 The only reason they would do this is if they want to divide America racially so that they could win politically.
00:16:41.000 If you fake hate crimes, that is one of the most disgusting things that you can do.
00:16:49.000 And the fact that we do not hold these people accountable is unbelievably disturbing.
00:16:55.000 Now, in breaking news today, Jussie Smollett, the failed actor turned failed fake hate crime practitioner, the two Nigerian brothers that Jussie Smollett hired to pull off the fake hate crime, they're now turning on him. 0.78
00:17:10.000 Now, here's just some good words to the wise. 0.97
00:17:15.000 If you're going to fake a hate crime and accuse two white people wearing MAGA hats in negative 10-degree weather on the coldest day in Chicago in February, do not hire Nigerian brothers. 1.00
00:17:25.000 That's probably a bad idea. 0.98
00:17:28.000 Just a bad starting point.
00:17:30.000 Probably don't hire anyone.
00:17:32.000 First of all, don't fake hate crimes.
00:17:33.000 I have to say that media matters as listen to this.
00:17:36.000 But if you're going to fake a hate crime, also don't write a check, Jesse Smollett.
00:17:41.000 Everything is political to the left.
00:17:44.000 And what's really sick and sad is that there are real hate crimes out there, legitimate ones.
00:17:48.000 And the more fake hate crimes there are, the less likely we're able to actually find the ones that are legitimate and hold people accountable that do those unspeakable acts of evil.
00:17:59.000 Getting in shape does not have to be about losing a specific amount of weight or a magic number on the scale.

00:19:48.000 So new New York Times polling and Fox News polling shows Joe Biden up on Trump in key battleground states.
00:19:54.000 So let's walk through this.
00:19:56.000 And before I do, understand right now, this is not a true presidential election.
00:20:00.000 It's not Trump versus Biden.
00:20:02.000 This is more just like a temporary temperature check of the state of America.
00:20:06.000 What president right now would be winning a head-to-head matchup after the lockdown, after the shutdowns, 30 million people out of work, racial unrest, the media going after you relentlessly?
00:20:17.000 You've been impeached five months ago.
00:20:19.000 So in some ways, you have to take a lot of these polls in context.
00:20:23.000 And we have not yet had the chance to go relentlessly negative on Joe Biden, we being those of us that love our country.
00:20:30.000 And you have just this steady drumbeat of former Republicans that are deciding that they want to come out against Donald Trump.
00:20:36.000 You have Carly Fiorina, which I just want to talk about this one.
00:20:39.000 Carly Fiorina is someone that I knew quite well.
00:20:43.000 I considered her a friend, and I spent time with her back in the summer of 2015, 2016, 2017.
00:20:50.000 And she was never a fan of Donald Trump's, and that's fine, whatever.
00:20:55.000 And Donald Trump wins the presidency, and now she has endorsed Joe Biden. 1.00
00:20:59.000 And so Carly Fiorina is either a liar or she's changed her entire perspective, and now she hates America. 0.73
00:21:07.000 So she told me back when I knew Carly Fiorina back many years ago, I haven't talked to her in quite some time, and she spoke at Turning Point USA events.
00:21:15.000 She spoke at Turning Point USA events.
00:21:17.000 Incredible.
00:21:18.000 Went out of her way to go speak at Turning Point USA events.
00:21:22.000 She would say, I'm pro-life.
00:21:25.000 I love my country.
00:21:26.000 I put service to America over politics.
00:21:30.000 I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure America continues to be the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:21:35.000 And I'm a team player.
00:21:36.000 There was a test of every Republican running for president.
00:21:40.000 Will you support the eventual nominee if it's not you?
00:21:44.000 And everyone raised their hand except Trump.
00:21:45.000 Now, Trump ends up being the nominee, which ended up being hilariously awesome.
00:21:50.000 But Carly Fiorina raised her hand.
00:21:52.000 So she lied.
00:21:55.000 So is she no longer what she said she was?
00:21:59.000 So it's one of two options.
00:22:00.000 Either she's moved and she now hates her country, or she never was what she said she was, and she always hated the country.
00:22:07.000 And now she's just telling us who she always was.
00:22:10.000 So you have that.
00:22:11.000 You have Colin Powell, who's never found a sovereign country that he doesn't want to invade.
00:22:16.000 You have Condoleezza Rice.
00:22:18.000 You got Colin Powell, who lied in front of the United Nations about weapons of mass destruction.
00:22:22.000 So look, there's been a steady drumbeat, to say the least, against Donald Trump.
00:22:27.000 And so some of these new polls show that Biden allegedly has a double-digit lead in some of these states.
00:22:32.000 Now, mind you, I don't necessarily take these polls at face value.
00:22:35.000 I think they could be suppression polls, but the question is how much of a suppression poll they are.
00:22:38.000 So it might not be 11 points, but it might be four points.
00:22:42.000 Okay, that's still not good.
00:22:43.000 Okay, so I mean, it's a matter that they might be wrong, but how wrong are they?
00:22:47.000 Now, according to these polls, Trump's poor polling is driven by an erosion in support from white voters, one of his key constituencies.
00:22:55.000 Because now everything must be divided by race, I guess.
00:22:57.000 I hate this over-racialization of America.
00:22:59.000 Thank you to the American left for doing that.
00:23:01.000 The Cook political report, they're pretty fair.
00:23:03.000 They moved Michigan from toss-up to Leans Democrat last week.
00:23:07.000 This is a state with a lot of white working class voters.
00:23:10.000 How it is not a landslide.
00:23:11.000 But those who are polled on Trump's handling of the economy remains a bright spot for the president.
00:23:16.000 56% of those in Battleground States approve of the economic policies, of handling the protests against police brutality and racial justice.
00:23:22.000 Only 31% believe they handle them well.
00:23:24.000 And it just shows how sinister the media has been.
00:23:27.000 It's just extraordinary.
00:23:28.000 55% of the Battleground State voters say they believe the federal government should be working to limit the spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese coronavirus, even if it hurts the economy.
00:23:35.000 Only 35% said the federal government needs to restart the economy.
00:23:39.000 The Times national poll has Biden ahead by 14 points, 50 to 36%, and his margins have widened amid the virus.
00:23:46.000 Now, again, this is just, it's a temperature check.
00:23:48.000 We're not even campaigning yet, okay?
00:23:50.000 The more Joe Biden talks, the more this is going to narrow.
00:23:52.000 So do not lose faith right now.
00:23:54.000 I'll tell you when to start panicking politically, okay?
00:23:57.000 When I tell you that, you got a problem, okay?
00:24:00.000 This is why the left wants to keep the country closed and burning, closed and burning.
00:24:04.000 They want things to not be open and they want them to be on fire.
00:24:07.000 Okay.
00:24:08.000 By the way, can we just have the arsonists stay at home and then they can burn their own homes?
00:24:14.000 Why are the arsonists not just staying home so they could just burn where they live?
00:24:17.000 Go burn somebody else's house.
00:24:19.000 So look, are these polls desirable? 0.95
00:24:21.000 Of course not.
00:24:22.000 And they're probably wrong.
00:24:24.000 But are they 15, 20 points wrong?
00:24:26.000 No.
00:24:26.000 Okay.
00:24:27.000 There is a negative trend, and we have to be honest about that and deal with it.
00:24:30.000 You just think, like, oh, we're up by 20.
00:24:32.000 Stop.
00:24:33.000 People say, oh, I think we're going to win a 50-state landslide.
00:24:37.000 I love those people.
00:24:38.000 Thank you.

00:25:45.000 Most people right now are not even totally aware of the Biden campaign.
00:25:49.000 I talked to a dear friend of mine in Chicago, lifelong Democrat, and we get along well.
00:25:57.000 And I knew her kids.
00:25:58.000 I went to high school with her, and I was talking to her about some neighborhood stuff.
00:26:01.000 This was going on with people I grew up with.
00:26:03.000 And I said, hey, who are you voting for?
00:26:05.000 And obviously it was Joe Biden.
00:26:06.000 I said, okay, well, what do you think about Joe Biden's mental and cognitive decline?
00:26:10.000 And I've known her well enough, and she was incredibly serious.
00:26:15.000 And she said, what are you talking about?
00:26:17.000 Joe Biden's in great health.
00:26:18.000 What are you talking about?
00:26:19.000 I said, have you seen anything about Joe Biden's slip-ups or him confusing his wife with his sister?
00:26:25.000 Or have you seen anything about Joe Biden forgetting what state he's in or what president he served for?
00:26:31.000 Oh, no.
00:26:32.000 I said, all I've seen is Trump not being able to walk down a ramp or Trump slurring his words or Trump not being able to drink a glass of water.
00:26:41.000 And I thought to myself, my goodness, our message is not getting out there as much as it should.
00:26:48.000 Our message is not penetrating the mass population like we might think it is yet.
00:26:53.000 And that's why you guys need to keep on spreading the Charlie Kirk show far and wide.
00:26:56.000 I mean, I thought that Biden's cognitive decline would be something that basically every American would be aware of.
00:27:06.000 Now, as an inverse to that, and I've talked about this on a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, I don't see the enthusiasm for Joe Biden.
00:27:13.000 If you look at the underpolling of this, there's not enthusiasm for Biden.
00:27:16.000 So to try to make up for that, they just want people to stay at home.
00:27:20.000 I had another friend who went to Portland over the weekend.
00:27:22.000 He saw Black Lives Matter pro-Marxist anti-American signs in nearly every single window.
00:27:28.000 Literally hundreds of them.
00:27:29.000 Do you know how many Joe Biden signs he saw?
00:27:31.000 Two. 0.75
00:27:31.000 Now, mind you, Oregon's one of the whitest states in the entire country. 0.75
00:27:35.000 So the self-loathing and hatred is so destructive for a country.
00:27:39.000 There were more Bernie Sanders signs than Biden signed.
00:27:41.000 There's going to be an undervote there if Trump can get within the margin of error by October 1st.
00:27:46.000 Now, look, like any good football game, you gotta, you gotta, or any basketball game, you gotta kind of carpamentalize this, right?
00:27:53.000 Compartmentalize this.
00:27:54.000 So what the Trump campaign should be doing is like, hey, take a deep breath.
00:27:58.000 Let's get Biden's numbers down and our numbers up, okay?
00:28:01.000 This is what the campaign should be doing.
00:28:03.000 And they are.
00:28:04.000 They have great leadership and they're going to figure it all out.
00:28:06.000 But just from a broader perspective, put your mind at ease.
00:28:09.000 Early August, they should say by August 1st, we want Biden's favorables to go down by five points, and we want to be within four points in the moving averages.
00:28:18.000 And if you keep that trend going, right now the trend is bad.
00:28:20.000 So you have to draw the line in the sand and get the trends going in the right direction.
00:28:24.000 So look, I saw this video of Joe Biden.
00:28:27.000 He was hosting a rally, which composed of four people, and it was a great attendance for him.
00:28:33.000 It was really good to see Joe Biden back in front of big crowds.
00:28:36.000 It was probably double the size of his last crowd, too.
00:28:39.000 So it was four people.
00:28:40.000 And so Joe Biden, he said that there was 120 million people that were killed by COVID-19.
00:28:46.000 Play tape.
00:28:47.000 Unnecessarily.
00:28:48.000 Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.
00:28:52.000 Now, that's very interesting because according to Joe Biden, 150 million Americans have also been killed by guns.
00:28:57.000 Play tape.
00:28:57.000 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability.
00:29:07.000 More than all the wars, including Vietnam.
00:29:10.000 Well, that leaves only 60 million Americans alive.
00:29:12.000 I mean, the Biden death count is pretty dramatic.
00:29:14.000 I mean, the carnage that according America, Joe Biden's America is like dead, literally.
00:29:20.000 In Joe Biden's America, it's incredible.
00:29:22.000 I mean, and look, I go previously, my friend in Chicago, she didn't know any of this is happening.
00:29:29.000 This is not a campaign yet.
00:29:30.000 This is a referendum on a singular president.
00:29:33.000 And it's a very important point to make.
00:29:35.000 The media doesn't want a real campaign to exist because once it's Trump versus Biden and a real campaign happens, Trump's numbers are going to soar.
00:29:43.000 Campaigns are a binary choice.
00:29:44.000 These polls make it look like it's a binary choice, but we haven't had that discussion yet.
00:29:49.000 The press wants an up or down vote on Trump, a referendum on Trump.
00:29:52.000 And referendums are really hard to win.
00:29:54.000 Just ask Winston Churchill, who lost referendums.
00:29:56.000 Just ask Maggie Thatcher, who lost referendums.
00:29:59.000 Campaigns where voters must choose between two choices tend to be an even playing field, especially in Battleground State.
00:30:06.000 This is why you see the president and his campaign trying to force this back into an actual campaign season, a choice into two different visions for America.
00:30:15.000 Notice what happens as soon as Trump gets back on the road.
00:30:17.000 The media swarms the campaign and heaps all this Chinese coronavirus coverage on them.
00:30:22.000 You see Governor Cuomo doing a really tough interview with his brother, Chris Cuomo.
00:30:26.000 Like that one's really tough.
00:30:27.000 And you see this headline.
00:30:29.000 Governor Cuomo torches Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, now the Red State governor's quote, you played politics of the virus and you lost.
00:30:35.000 This is part of the narrative we are facing in Arizona ahead of Trump's visit.
00:30:39.000 And we won and we did terrific.
00:30:41.000 The COVID deaths per 100,000 residents, though, in New York City, 160, Arizona, 21, Florida, 15, Texas, 8, according to the Washington Post.
00:30:50.000 The hysteria surrounding this viral pandemic is awful.
00:30:55.000 Daniel Horowitz, a conservative review, had a great piece on this recently.
00:30:58.000 He said this.
00:30:59.000 Arizona Chinese coronavirus spread is alarming and action is needed, Expert Warren read a title of Arizona Republic article on Wednesday.
00:31:06.000 Yahoo News breathlessly warned about a spike in the southwestern states.
00:31:10.000 The truth is that new hospitalizations coming in for serious coronavirus or Chinese coronavirus infections are actually really low.
00:31:16.000 What they're actually counting are the extra people coming in for all the delayed health care caused by the lockdowns.
00:31:20.000 But thanks to universal testing in hospitals, they're discovering more asymptomatic cases than ever before, which had nothing to do with the original purpose of the hospital states.
00:31:27.000 Such a brilliant point.
00:31:27.000 Daniel Horowitz is so smart.
00:31:29.000 The virus is much more widespread, asymptomatic, and less deadly than it was before.
00:31:33.000 The ER patients are coming in, as the Arizona State Health Director, Dr. Kara Christ, said, because of the bottleneck of a much needed care and serious ailments that were ignored during the lockdown.
00:31:41.000 All but a few who actually came to the ER because of COVID-19 or Chinese coronavirus symptoms likely never knew they had it.
00:31:47.000 This is why we are not seeing a big spike of deaths in any of the states where the media is warning about an increase in detected cases.
00:31:54.000 And we're still told all of this is because of a pandemic.
00:31:57.000 It's been 84 days since Joe Biden has held a press conference, but it's not about a pandemic at all.
00:32:01.000 Joe Biden still thinks he has the winning formula.
00:32:04.000 Don't campaign.
00:32:05.000 Less is more.
00:32:06.000 No gaffes.
00:32:08.000 No self-inflicted mistakes.
00:32:09.000 As the nation riots and protests, they know by keeping Biden quiet, it helps pin the turmoil on Trump, and he will own it.
00:32:15.000 These are unprecedented times.
00:32:17.000 Really, they're trying to create an up or down vote on Trump.
00:32:20.000 And if that is the case, Trump will lose.
00:32:22.000 But if it is Trump versus Biden, Trump versus someone, and Trump can define the election, Trump has a fighting shot.
00:32:29.000 Now, one story I want to end with is the founder of the 1619 Project, which their podcast is beating our podcast and the podcast charts today.
00:32:36.000 So it is your moral prerogative to type in Charlie Kirk show to your podcast provider, hit subscribe, give us a five-star review screenshot on the emails that you did at freedom at charliekirk.com to win a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine because the 1619 project should not be beating the Charlie Kirk show, but it is.
00:32:49.000 We're not going to be a victim.
00:32:50.000 We'll be a victor and we will rise above their propaganda and anti-American Marxist hatred of our country. 0.99
00:32:55.000 So the founder of the 1619 project, Nicole Hannah-Jones, yeah, total rocket scientist, she said that the white race are barbaric devils, bloodsuckers, and Columbus no different than Hitler. 0.96
00:33:08.000 In an indication of what was to come, the founder of the New York Times 1619 Project, according to the Federalists, great website, do a great job, penned a lengthy racist screed attacking all white people in 1995. 0.98
00:33:18.000 The absolute total bitter racist, who should be taken less seriously.
00:33:23.000 But of course, if you're racist against white people, you get promoted and you get taken very seriously. 1.00
00:33:27.000 She wrote a letter to the editor in Notre Dame's The Observer stating that, quote, the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, and pillager and thief of the modern world. 1.00
00:33:37.000 That's awfully racist. 0.99
00:33:38.000 And this transitions to now, for the first time in American history, the majority of people under the age of 16 are non-white and Hispanic.
00:33:45.000 I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing. 1.00
00:33:46.000 It's just factually the way it is.
00:33:48.000 And so now it's going to be very soon. 0.98
00:33:51.000 The demographic reality is that white people will be a minority and white people are also being told that you're the worst people in the world. 0.96
00:33:57.000 Do not apologize for how God made you. 0.84
00:33:59.000 You're immutable characteristics.
00:34:00.000 You're made in the image of God. 1.00
00:34:01.000 Do not take a knee because you're white. 0.80
00:34:03.000 Do not take a knee to anyone except Jesus or God. 0.67
00:34:06.000 And don't apologize for something you had nothing to do with.
00:34:09.000 We don't believe in blood guilt.
00:34:10.000 We don't believe in generational apology for something that you were related to someone that did something.
00:34:17.000 And by the way, maybe your ancestors did good things, not bad things.
00:34:20.000 It is uniquely un-American and anti-Western to apologize for something you did not do.
00:34:25.000 And yet that's what the left wants to do.
00:34:26.000 And yeah, you know who should apologize? 1.00
00:34:28.000 It's the author of the 1619 project that calls you as a white person a barbaric devil, that calls you a blood-sucking leech and says that white people are the biggest rapists and pillagers in the modern world. 0.99
00:34:42.000 Oh, and she also won a Peel at Surprise. 0.98
00:34:44.000 So I don't know if that says more about her or more about the Peel at Surprise, but it's awfully instructive, the state of literature in our country.

00:34:59.000 People are asking me, Charlie, what can I do?
00:35:01.000 Here's what you can do: do something today you didn't do yesterday, where you sacrifice something for truth and stand with courage.
00:35:08.000 If you're not sacrificing something right now, then you're just a spectator in this sport.
00:35:13.000 Or you're just a spectator in this exercise to save America.

00:35:37.000 And we were very, let's just say we were very busy hosting the president.
00:35:41.000 So we had a little less episodes this week than usual.
00:35:43.000 But the president of the United States coming to Phoenix was one of the hardest things that we had to pull off in the midst of a pandemic and a mayor that was attacking us and a city council that was condemning us and the media that was targeting us.
00:35:53.000 But we're not, we don't complain.
00:35:54.000 It went off without a hitch.
00:35:55.000 3,300 young people in a room.
00:35:57.000 And if you didn't hear about it, the media intentionally tried to censor it from you.
00:36:01.000 And the president's support was terrific there.
00:36:04.000 107-degree weather.
00:36:06.000 And young people showed up in amazing, amazing remember.
