00:00:10.000Joe Biden is quarantining in place while President Trump is surging in the polls and just took the lead in Pennsylvania.
00:00:16.000This program is brought to you by those of you that support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:22.000CharlieKirk.com slash support is where you can pitch in 10, 50, 100, maybe even $200 to help our program reach millions of more young people.
00:00:33.000If you feel that young people are not getting the truth in education, this program circumvents all of the liberal indoctrination with facts told correctly, calmly, and directly for young people, students across the country.
00:01:17.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:46.000But what I don't think we knew that I am trying to unpack here this hour is why is Joe Biden doing nothing?
00:03:55.000Now, it'd be one thing to kind of do a Joe Biden event where you have six people in circles and you kind of just have a conversation.
00:04:02.000The networks would still carry that, by the way.
00:04:05.000There's a couple explanations for this.
00:04:08.000But I'll just first admit, it's very bizarre.
00:04:12.000It's bizarre that Senator Harris and Joe Biden, eight days out from the election, are choosing not to be visible.
00:04:21.000So typically in a presidential race or any race, you try to get in front of the cameras and get in front of as many people as possible.
00:04:29.000I just spoke at a great event in Calvary Chapel, Huntington Beach.
00:04:33.000It's packed, people around the grounds, people here on the ground, they're coming out of the windows.
00:04:38.000And they said they do an event on the beach every single year where all the elected officials that want to get elected, they come to their event because there's 20,000 people there.
00:04:48.000And the pastor, Pastor Joe, said something so obvious.
00:04:52.000He said, they're all there because they want to get in front of all the people to get elected.
00:05:12.000Maybe he needs a full day to recuperate.
00:05:14.000Maybe he needs a weekend to recuperate.
00:05:17.000But full days of doing nothing, something's not right here.
00:05:23.000So there's a couple explanations here.
00:05:25.000If we are trying to go to Joe Biden campaign headquarters, let's try to put ourselves in his position.
00:05:31.000Let's try to put ourselves in what the discussions they are having.
00:05:35.000There are three possible explanations to this.
00:05:39.000Number one, the Joe Biden campaign believes, through internal and public polling and their cash advantage, that they have such an exorbitant lead that all they could possibly do at this moment is make it worse.
00:05:54.000That they're going to shelter in place.
00:06:02.000They are going to let their multi-billion dollar cash advantage through all the outside groups and their own campaign try to get them to Election Day.
00:06:10.000That they have such a lead that there is nothing they could possibly do to contribute.
00:06:15.000In fact, they might be of the belief that the more the American people see them, the more their numbers will go down.
00:06:34.000And he actually is not capable of campaigning.
00:06:38.000The third explanation is this, is that any exposure that Joe Biden would have right now would mean that the media would have access to him.
00:06:48.000And they'd be able to ask him about Hunter Biden in the laptop, the Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewing Tony Bob Yelinski, which, by the way, should be headline news on every newspaper across the country.
00:07:01.000And the fact that it isn't is a dark day for democracy.
00:07:07.000Because there was more media coverage focused on Ivanka Trump's son allegedly not making a Lego castle after the RNC speech than on whether or not Hunter Biden sold out our country to China.
00:07:23.000Why is it that we sent 15 FBI agents to go investigate Bubba Wallace, the NASCAR driver?
00:08:44.000And right now, for example, on foxnews.com, he doesn't have to buy the advertising, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute.
00:08:54.000So what cash, who cares if Joe Biden has the cash advantage?
00:08:58.000And this is what doesn't always get talked about.
00:09:02.000When President Trump goes to small towns in Pennsylvania, for example, he's going to Allentown today.
00:09:09.000He's going to a town I've never heard of, which is called Lillitz, Pennsylvania.
00:09:14.000All of the local newspapers, all of the local radio will air his speech on an erupted as he says it.
00:09:21.000They're just honored to have him in their town.
00:09:24.000And that stuff is more respected and widely read than CNN.
00:09:29.000One of the things that the Democrat political consultant class get wrong so often is that the way that these little towns operate is first on the local school bulletin, the local newspaper, the local radio guy.
00:10:07.000We know in politics, when you try to play it safe, you usually lose.
00:10:13.000The only reason you would play it safe is if you're in a state like Delaware or Massachusetts and your lead is up by 35 points, then you would quarantine to victory.
00:10:24.000But that is not the state of the race.
00:10:25.000And if Joe Biden has convinced himself that he truly has a six-point structural lead, then he's looking at data that I'm not looking at and he's communicating to a population that I do not think exists.
00:10:38.000I was just talking to normal suburban voters.
00:10:43.000They weren't five-hour a day political consuming patriots.
00:10:48.000They were just normal voters that could be swing voters, but they were on board for President Trump because in just the Dallas area, oil and natural gas contributes over $80 million in tax revenue to Dallas County alone.
00:11:04.000Better schools, better bridges, better community centers.
00:11:08.000And Joe Biden, I think, learned a lesson in the debate against Donald Trump, that talking is hard, that communicating actually might put his campaign in jeopardy.
00:11:23.000I look at the publicly available schedule for President Trump, and it would be difficult for any human being, let alone a man in his mid-70s who just overcame the Chinese coronavirus, to blitz the country in 30-degree weather, in hailstorms.
00:12:03.000I think that campaigns have changed in so many different ways, where people get text messages and you have peer-to-peer text messaging and digital ads and all these different tools in the toolkit.
00:12:16.000But President Trump and his focus on in-person rallies is still the most effective way to persuade voters and get out the vote.
00:12:26.000What is the Democrat narrative right now?
00:12:30.000And I think President Trump actually captured the Democrat narrative perfectly.
00:12:34.000He said it over the weekend in his final event in Wisconsin, where we are right now doing this broadcast, where President Trump said, and Joe Biden said that we're going to have a dark winter?
00:13:45.000And because he doesn't want to talk about how manufacturing has gone into recession, how our economy's in a hole, how we're approaching a bleak winter.
00:14:00.000I mean, he has no concrete examples of that.
00:14:03.000But there is a growing criminal scandal around Joe Biden specifically and his son.
00:14:09.000This is something that should be frontline news.
00:14:12.000And I think Joe Biden doesn't want to take more questions like that.
00:14:15.000Do you notice how Joe Biden, Hunter Biden still, considering some of, let's say, the more graphic revelations that have come out against Hunter Biden with this laptop?
00:14:26.000And I'll just leave it at that, that they still haven't denied the authenticity of the laptop.
00:14:30.000So they started by saying this is Russian disinformation.
00:14:33.000They got 50 former intelligence officers who blatantly aligned with a lie saying that this laptop was another tool of the Russian disinformation artists.
00:14:45.000And yet Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have yet to deny any of the authenticity of the material on the laptop, which goes to show that Joe Biden is a subcontractor.
00:14:56.000He's a 990 employee of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:15:01.000He is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xi Jinping.
00:15:09.000His decision right now, and to be honest with you, if I was in the internal meetings for Joe Biden, I can see how they reached this decision.
00:15:20.000I can see how they want to just run out the clock, how they just want to hope Donald Trump will have a misstep.
00:15:43.000You guys have heard me talk about it, thinker.org/slash Charlie.
00:15:46.000T-H-I-N-K-R has solved that problem by summarizing the key ideas from new and noteworthy fiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:15:54.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, including old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.

00:16:05.000That's T-H-I-N-K-R.org/slash Charlie to start an extended free trial and put your mind in motion.
00:16:15.000So I'm looking at DonaldJ Trump.com/slash events, and I have Donald J. Trump delivers remarks in Allentown.
00:16:24.000Donald J. Trump talks in Lillitz, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump Jr., Youngstown, Ohio, Second Lady Karen Pence in New Hill, North Carolina, Donald J. Trump again in Pennsylvania, Donald J. Trump again in Pennsylvania, Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump Jr. in Washington, Michigan, and then Eric Trump in Phoenix, Eric Trump again in Phoenix, Mike Pence in Greensboro, North Carolina.
00:16:49.000I go to Joe Biden's website, no events.
00:16:53.000So as we have been unpacking, there's only a couple explanations for this.
00:16:58.000The first of which could be that Joe Biden believes that he has such an insurmountable lead that anything he does will just contribute to Donald Trump's surge right now.
00:17:12.000And if I were to be in the internal meetings of the Joe Biden campaign, I can see how they came to this decision.
00:17:47.000I remember an event he did at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and we are doing this show right from Wisconsin, where he had 40,000, 50, 60,000 people show up for him.
00:18:52.000And her self-deprecating laugh there, I think, is actually very, very telling.
00:18:57.000Now, look, Senator Harris will actually run our government if Joe Biden gets elected as president of the United States.
00:19:03.000Despite all of the attacks launched at Joe Biden in the last couple weeks, Joe Biden's favorables, they remain basically unchanged.
00:19:11.000And this just kind of goes to the guiding premise and thesis that we've been talking about the last week and a half here, which is that President Trump needs to connect the Joe Biden scandal directly with Kamala Harris, saying that she will be in charge.
00:19:26.000Senator Kamala Harris is a California Marxist radical.
00:19:31.000And I'm driving through rural Wisconsin.
00:19:33.000I see these people with these Joe Biden signs.
00:19:35.000And I say, if they only realized who would actually be in control if Joe Biden were to win, it is the most liberal senator in America, Kamala Harris, who ran the California Attorney General's office and targeted people of faith, targeted pro-life groups.
00:19:51.000That's who will be in charge of your government if Joe Biden were to win.
00:19:55.000And so the Joe Biden campaign is probably so convinced by their polling lead that they have decided to suspend almost all campaigning.
00:20:05.000And in another perplexing turn of events, Kamala Harris is going to Texas this week.
00:20:12.000And so if I were to kind of read between the lines here, the Joe Biden campaign truly does believe that they're going to win.
00:20:19.000The only reason why Kamala Harris would go to Texas is trying to expand the electoral map so dramatically that they want a landslide, and they think they're going to get it.
00:20:31.000Joe Biden has done no campaign events at all in the final eight days, has none planned.
00:20:41.000Maybe he's trying to help candidates in Georgia.
00:20:44.000But I think what we're looking at is two completely different perspectives of how we view data.
00:20:51.000The Joe Biden campaign has truly convinced themselves that they need to start measuring the curtains in the Oval Office, similar to what Hillary Clinton did, where she decided not to visit Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania up until the very end of the campaign.
00:21:08.000And obviously, a lot of this is conjecture, and a lot of this is just guessing, but that's exactly what a campaign is supposed to do.
00:21:16.000They're supposed to internalize data, make decisions around it, and then decide whether or not they're going to campaign, what advertisement they're supposed to do.
00:21:25.000The greatest asset that a campaign has is typically, in normal circumstances, a candidate's time.
00:21:32.000It's supposed to be where the candidate can visit, do interviews.
00:21:35.000In a regular campaign, you want your candidate in front of people.
00:21:40.000This is the first campaign in the history of the planet.
00:21:42.000You don't want your candidate in front of people.
00:21:48.000So it's either that they believe that there will be a surge of voters to vote out Donald Trump, the likes of which we've never seen before, or that Joe Biden could only harm the current trajectory.
00:21:59.000There's a great story by Sean Trend, who's on staff at Real Clear Politics.
00:22:03.000He says, no, really, don't pay attention to early voting data.
00:22:07.000It's very thorough because there was an article this weekend in Politico that said it's a fire alarm or a warning flare.
00:22:14.000New swing state data shows massive Democrat early voting lead.
00:22:18.000And you look into it, it's done by a Bloomberg data company, which very well might be, there might be some truth to it.
00:22:24.000But let's just look at the data as it is today.
00:22:26.000People say, well, Democrats are showing up in record numbers in states like North Carolina.
00:22:31.000So in North Carolina, for example, it shows that, well, Democrats have a 10.5 percentage point lead in North Carolina.
00:22:39.000But what it doesn't say is that in 2016, Democrats had a 13.1 percentage point lead in early voting at the very same time.
00:22:47.000They say that blacks are showing up in record numbers.
00:23:21.000I'm sure there's some Republicans out there that are defecting against Trump because they've been convinced that his style is so terrible that we must then destroy the country.
00:23:30.000However, if you look at Donald Trump's approval rating in the Republican Party, it's plus 96%.
00:23:36.000Donald Trump had the most decisive primary of any candidate ever in a primary election.
00:23:46.000Most amount of people showing up to support him in a primary.
00:23:50.000So I find it very hard to believe that President Donald Trump is not having a massive amount of support with primary voters.
00:23:58.000I just, I find that very hard to believe, especially with Republican voters.
00:24:02.000And so unless Joe Biden is seeing something that we are all missing, and maybe he is, I think Joe Biden is of the opinion that public appearances and public speeches will only further jeopardize his campaign.
00:24:16.000And there's a series of new polls that show Donald Trump up three points in Florida, the Trafalgar Group.
00:24:23.000It shows Donald Trump up two points in Michigan, Donald Trump up two points in Florida, Donald Trump up three points in Arizona and two points in North Carolina.
00:24:32.000If all of that is true, Donald Trump will soar to victory.
00:24:37.000And mind you, if you go deeper into the data, Republicans are doing historically well with early voting.
00:24:44.000And one of the things that frustrates me the most with early voting, you don't get extra points if you vote early.
00:24:51.000It counts the same on Election Day that you vote early, absentee, or in person.
00:24:56.000The only thing that it does is it narrows the amount of voters that you have to actually drive out to the polls.
00:25:02.000The fact that Republicans are doing as well as we are doing in early voting with the amount of understandable skepticism that Republican voters have towards fraud and towards the nonsense of the ballot issue should really worry Democrats, not Republicans.
00:25:18.000But understand, these next eight days, you are going to see a steady build of Trump's closing message.
00:25:26.000The number one issue for voters heading into the election, according to every single poll, is the economy.
00:25:34.000President Trump is 60 plus percent better on the economy than Joe Biden.
00:25:43.00060% of voters believe Donald Trump is much better equipped to handle the economy than Joe Biden.
00:25:49.000And so many of the people that will be voicing support for Joe Biden will be doing it simply on style or radical left-wing ideas and values and issues.
00:28:01.000It's impossible to predict exactly what's going to happen.
00:28:05.000But if the laws of nature are still intact, the candidate who actually campaigns and communicates to human beings in a presidential race should be reelected.
00:28:14.000It should be probably a necessary prerequisite to become president, to actually speak to the American people and try to persuade them to give you power.
00:28:25.000Look, this holiday season, more people will be mailing stuff than ever before.
00:28:30.000They're mailing things all over the place.
00:28:32.000That means the post office is going to be busy.
00:29:54.000And then Chelsea Handler, who would have been a phenomenal KKK member, said the following, play cut three.
00:30:00.000So he doesn't want to pay 62% of taxes because he doesn't want to go from being 50 cent to 20 cent.
00:30:06.000And I had to remind him that he was a black person, so he can't vote for Donald Trump and that he shouldn't be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him.
00:30:17.000She would have been a phenomenal Klan leader.
00:30:22.000I have to remind people that he's black.
00:30:25.000You have to understand, the left does not view anyone to be their identity if you're a black person, if you're not a leftist.
00:30:34.000They believe that black and leftism are intertwined, that you lose who you actually are if you dare embrace President Trump.
00:32:20.000But when someone actually believes that I have to remind him that he's a black person so he can't vote for Donald Trump, what's really going on here?
00:32:30.000What's really going on here is that the Democrats know they actually might be losing their grip on the black community.
00:32:36.000I believe that if we Republicans and conservatives do our job, we can win 50% of the black vote in the next decade.
00:32:42.000School choice, safer streets, rebuilding the family, entrepreneurialism, investing in capital markets to make it easier for black entrepreneurs.
00:32:54.000I also want to get to the Van Jones clip.
00:32:56.000Let's go to cut one of Van Jones talking about all the good things that Trump has done for the black community.
00:33:29.000When I saw Van Jones at the prison reform summit, I was a skeptic.
00:33:35.000But I trusted the wisdom of the president, of Jared and Ivanka, and the fact that Van Jones is now eight days out from an election saying something positive about the president, I have respect for that.
00:33:47.000Van Jones is basically a green energy communist.
00:33:52.000I'm not going to go after his intentions, but he is saying something positive about the president.
00:33:57.000Hey, Chelsea Handler, is Van Jones black?
00:34:00.00050 Cent lost his blackness because he said something good about the president.
00:34:04.000There is a deluge that is coming against the Democrat Party of a black rebellion.
00:34:09.000And people like Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum and Terrence Williams and Rob Smith and Larry Elder, they all deserve credit for what they're doing here.
00:34:17.000What they are doing is one of the most important things on the moral landscape to get black people to think for themselves.
