00:01:12.000 You know, I was joking with Andrew.

00:01:13.000 Andrew's with us, yes?

00:01:14.000 Or just Tyler?

00:01:15.000 Yeah, I'm right here.

00:01:16.000 Tyler, Blake.

00:01:17.000 I was joking with Andrew.

00:01:18.000 I said, I'm a pretty high-capacity guy.

00:01:21.000 I am overwhelmed by the incoming right now.

00:01:23.000 Are you Andrew and Tyler in a similar position?

00:01:27.000 You're the most high-capacity guy I've ever seen, actually.

00:01:30.000 I mean, and I'm not just trying to...

00:01:32.000 Like, Charlie Kirk, during the show...

00:01:34.000 We'll be managing, like, six to seven different, like, high-capacity tasks, messaging everybody all at the same time.

00:01:44.000 And, yeah, he finally told me, like, Andrew, like, I need some space this morning, dealing with everything we got going on.

00:01:51.000 It's too much.

00:01:52.000 I mean, I have a lot of people reaching out.

00:01:55.000 And, by the way, really, really great stuff.

00:01:58.000 That's why I was like, I got to make a call.

00:01:59.000 Got to make a call.

00:02:00.000 Got to make a call.

00:02:00.000 All right, Tyler, speaking of incoming...

00:02:07.000 Well, I want to recognize on that incoming front because we are managing right now thousands of people still that are out there at Turning Point Action.

00:02:16.000 We've been blessed to have so many great full-time people, so many great volunteers.

00:02:21.000 Right now in the state of Arizona as we close out this election and, of course, No better way to close out than Arizona and Maricopa County.

00:02:29.000 It makes perfect sense, Mountain Time Zone.

00:02:31.000 I mean, why wouldn't this be the last place to finish county votes?

00:02:37.000 We now have over 1,500 people who have signed up, trained, and are out curing ballots.

00:02:46.000 And so what this means is we ran the numbers last night.

00:02:48.000 Charlie came over to HQ. I think we were there close to midnight again last night.

00:02:53.000 And I was with the team with Matthew Martinez, who will hopefully make his Charlie Kirk show debut very shortly because we will be going up ahead is the goal.

00:03:03.000 But just crunching the numbers on what's left in Maricopa County, what's left in the rest of the state of Arizona, and what is the likelihood of how those votes will break.

00:03:13.000 We did get a drop earlier today, as you mentioned on your show, of 23,000 ballots.

00:03:18.000 It was a small drop for Maricopa County.

00:03:20.000 It was a little bit unexpected because they've been doing afternoon drops, and they said that they were going to do a mid-morning drop.

00:03:25.000 But it broke 58% for Cary Lake, 40% for Ruben Gallego, which, of course, is way above what she needs.

00:03:33.000 Way above our estimates.

00:03:34.000 The last two drops were way above anything.

00:03:37.000 We estimated a 50-50 drop in Maricopa, and she will now exceed that.

00:03:42.000 Blue Anon was talking about how, and the Blue Anon Twitter, the hopium.

00:03:48.000 It's so funny because now you're seeing there's a lot of hopium coming out of the left. 0.99

00:03:52.000 And this is a really different perspective from last time, Charlie, with Kerry.

00:03:57.000 Because last time we saw a lot of goading online.

00:04:01.000 There was a lot of chatter against the right.

00:04:04.000 You're not seeing that this time.

00:04:07.000 Which, you know, you can infer whatever you want from that.

00:04:10.000 I think everybody's on pins and needles waiting for these returns to come in.

00:04:13.000 And really anything can happen still.

00:04:15.000 I think it's still, we talked about this being a 50-50 race for Kerry.

00:04:18.000 It's going to be very close.

00:04:21.000 When I say very close, we're talking tens of thousands of votes is what's going to make the difference here, which is a fraction of a percentage point in this election.

00:04:31.000 Potentially.

00:04:32.000 But you look at this last time, the recorder's office, you know, typically they can't release results, but they know results before everybody else.

00:04:42.000 And so when they see these results and they go through and they start adjudicating and curing and going through the curing process and setting ballots aside and before they release things and they have to go through all the processes that they have to do in order to fully count and transmit the results, You start seeing people react and act differently.

00:05:01.000 And definitely there's a different vibe in the room this time than there was in 2022.

00:05:05.000 In 2022, you know, there was definitely an emanating, you know, haughtiness that was coming out of the recorder's office.

00:05:12.000 And the recorder was definitely not a Carrie Lake fan.

00:05:14.000 He's definitely not a conservative fan.

00:05:16.000 Stephen Richer is by all, he calls himself a Republican, ran as a Republican, but had the support of all the Democrats in the state.

00:05:23.000 That's why he lost his primary so handily.

00:05:26.000 But we're not seeing that, again, emanate from there.

00:05:29.000 And what we're seeing is this, and this is getting really into the weeds, and we'll talk about this a little bit more later tonight probably, but we have legislative races that are extraordinarily competitive in very competitive districts in North Phoenix and Scottsdale and West Mesa, in particular in the Valley, that these races are the ones that are seemingly having ballots be counted last.

00:05:51.000 And so I have a theory that they're not only zeroed in on Kerry Lake, but they're also zeroed in on the embarrassment that they're going to suffer if the Democrats basically give up five or six additional House seats and a couple Senate seats that are going to really tell a story here in Arizona of a massive red landslide.

00:06:13.000 And again, we're not there yet.

00:06:14.000 We're still a long way away.

00:06:16.000 No red wave talk.

00:06:18.000 None of that.

00:06:19.000 But President Trump does seem to have uplifted a significant amount of these.

00:06:24.000 Our ballot chasing program uplifted a ton of these people.

00:06:28.000 And we may be able to squeak by with a bunch of wins at the local level.

00:06:32.000 That's definitely going to tell a story beyond Cary Lake.

00:06:36.000 Andrew, do you have some thoughts here?

00:06:38.000 And just again, Tyler is still more bullish than I am on the Arizona thing, partially because of 2022 vibes.

00:06:44.000 But I will say this, and this is breaking news.

00:06:47.000 Not breaking, but it's a vibe shift.

00:06:49.000 Bill Malusian, who I really respect, but definitely is super careful with this stuff.

00:06:54.000 Would you agree, Andrew?

00:06:55.000 Oh, yeah.

00:06:56.000 Ballot counts in Arizona continue to go in Cary Lake's favor.

00:07:00.000 Keep an eye on this race.

00:07:01.000 By the way, I have bookmarked on my Twitter everyone who called Ruben Gallego a victory.

00:07:05.000 I have it all bookmarked.

00:07:06.000 And we know who you are, including reporters, by the way, who can't do math.

00:07:11.000 Including reporters.

00:07:12.000 Just so we're clear, the remaining math is that Cary Lake needs 52.84% of all remaining Arizona statewide ballots.

00:07:21.000 Are there 700,000-ish ballots remaining, Tyler?

00:07:24.000 Is that right?

00:07:24.000 That's the...

00:07:26.000 I sent over to you guys the graph here.

00:07:30.000 Let me send it over again.

00:07:31.000 We can pull it up if we want to.

00:07:33.000 This is the remaining ballots by county.

00:07:36.000 And again, it's less by statewide.

00:07:39.000 It's less by statewide.

00:07:40.000 It's more by these different counties.

00:07:43.000 That's one of the things that's cool about this, Charlie, is, you know, you can see by, if they estimate like 77% of total ballots are in statewide, we're below that figure substantially in, I'm going to say I'm wrong unintentionally, Coach Ice County, in Yama County.

00:08:03.000 Blake's trying to mispronounce all the county names just specifically to tick off the Indian tribes.

00:08:09.000 Whereas they're 100% in from Santa Claus County?

00:08:12.000 Yeah.

00:08:12.000 So the counties, there's basically a way to look at Arizona, Charlie, and Andrew and Blake, and there's four buckets.

00:08:20.000 There's four buckets, okay?

00:08:21.000 There's two buckets in Maricopa County, and then there's the rest of the state.

00:08:26.000 The two buckets in Maricopa County that are left to count are the early drops.

00:08:32.000 So the late early drops.

00:08:34.000 So the late early drops are Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

00:08:39.000 Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

00:08:43.000 Those have to be counted pretty much first.

00:08:46.000 So that 23,000 that got counted today, it was from that bucket.

00:08:49.000 The second bucket is the drop-offs on Election Day.

00:08:53.000 Maricopa County announced yesterday at 6 p.m.

00:08:56.000 while we were streaming its 229,000 ballots.

00:09:00.000 Those should and typically look a lot like Election Day.

00:09:04.000 And the build-out of that actually looks a lot like— It's a little less.

00:09:08.000 A little less.

00:09:09.000 Five points less.

00:09:10.000 Five points worse.

00:09:11.000 We're optimistic on that because they probably would have mailed in their ballots more consistently worse.

00:09:16.000 But let me repeat.

00:09:17.000 Those typically look a lot like the same as Election Day.

00:09:20.000 Now, we don't know how those are going to break.

00:09:23.000 Last time, they broke a little bit less.

00:09:25.000 The time before that, they broke a little bit more.

00:09:29.000 You have a scenario, I think, that's playing out this time, which is that people were mentally bringing their ballots because Maricopa County screwed up the election so bad in 2022, that there could very well be a possibility that there's an uncounted, more conservative bend to this drop.

00:09:48.000 Mainly because people showed up intending to vote in person, but they chose not to vote in person.

00:09:53.000 We had an undervote in person this time than what we were projecting.

00:09:57.000 And I believe that there were probably more people that showed up and dropped off their ballots because they got there and they said, you know what, it's fine, I'll just drop it off.

00:10:05.000 I feel good about it.

00:10:06.000 The other two buckets that exist within the state, Charlie, Andrew, and Blake, are you have all of the remaining counties and then you have Pima County.

00:10:16.000 All the other remaining counties are going to break for Cary, and they have so far well over 65%.

00:10:25.000 Yavapai County is days behind on their scanning because it's two ballots within each ballot.

00:10:32.000 So it's two pieces of paper.

00:10:34.000 And it's setting things way behind.

00:10:36.000 They're worried they're not going to be done by Sunday.

00:10:39.000 You have Pima County, who traditionally has gone very slow.

00:10:43.000 It's just Northern Mexico, the University of Northern Mexico, U of A, does not produce the fact...

00:10:50.000 No, I'm just teasing.

00:10:51.000 I'm an ASU grad, so I have to tease U of A. But they have 136,000 ballots.

00:10:56.000 Those ballots also on election day and nearing election day tend to have been more conservative because there's a ton of rural space in Pima County.

00:11:04.000 So if you look at the map that's on there, Pima County is huge.

00:11:08.000 And so what happens is that you get a lot of late earlies because people finally drop it in.

00:11:14.000 They come in or they vote early or emergency.

00:11:18.000 And then on election day, they drop off their ballots as well.

00:11:21.000 So, you could have a really ugly Pima County drop.

00:11:24.000 I think the ugliest it's going to get for Kerry is a minus 10, which would still be okay.

00:11:32.000 This year I've given you so many reasons to try Balance of Nature, but I've got one you cannot ignore.

00:11:37.000 Let's review some of the other reasons first with Balance of Nature.

00:11:53.000 And of course, I take them.

00:12:33.000 Blake, you gotta go through this map conspiracy thing.

00:12:36.000 It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

00:12:38.000 It is such an op by the New York Times.

00:12:42.000 It is one of the pettiest things I've ever seen.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, it's so funny.

00:12:47.000 So we were highlighting this last night.

00:12:49.000 It went viral, which is the New York Times, one of their best things.

00:12:52.000 The New York Times, their reporting on election results is great.

00:12:55.000 And one of the things they did is they have a map where once a county's vote is entirely in, you can bring up a map that's how much did this county change relative to the 2020 election.

00:13:05.000 And as we've noted, almost everywhere across America, it's a substantial shift to the right.

00:13:12.000 And so let's put up 332 on screen.

00:13:17.000 So that was the map that we were talking about yesterday.

00:13:20.000 Just absolute red juggernaut all over the country because you have counties in Florida and Texas going 10, 15, 20 points to the right.

00:13:29.000 And then you have, you know, 3 to 5% all across America.

00:13:33.000 Well, apparently it got so bad.

00:13:35.000 That the New York Times they're like we have to update the map and so they changed it to 333 put it up on screen they had to shrink the arrows down and the funny thing is it does make it a little more legible because the red wave was so bad it was hard to like you would go to where there's small counties in like Virginia or in Kentucky and it was hard to get on the right one because the arrows were going over each other but it does have the effect of you know making the bloodbath look a little less gruesome for them and I'm sure once

00:14:05.000 we have the results from Arizona and California where we also are seeing the red wave, we'll probably be trying to recreate our own version of the old map because it's very memorable.

00:14:16.000 Well, to that point, Blake, I mean California went significantly more Republican.

00:14:25.000 Blue state America went very much redder.

00:14:29.000 Charlie, you had that great tweet where you said this is so much different than 2016 because in 2016 Trump won, yes, but in many ways he did worse than Mitt Romney did in 2012.

00:14:41.000 Red America got redder, but blue America got bluer.

00:14:46.000 Not so in 2024.

00:14:48.000 The red America got redder again, redder still, but blue America got redder as well.

00:14:54.000 I mean, it was a complete shellacking electorally for the Democrats up and down the board, up and down different demographic cohorts and across the age groups.

00:15:06.000 So, you know, Blake, I have to believe that New York Times is doing this for the mental health of their readership, which is not having a good time right now.

00:15:15.000 The only place where that's not true is Utah and Colorado.

00:15:19.000 Yep, yep.

00:15:20.000 Utah has a real problem.

00:15:23.000 Idaho has a real problem.

00:15:25.000 Colorado, we've known they've had problems.

00:15:27.000 I don't think Idaho has a problem.

00:15:30.000 Idaho is basically Utah.

00:15:32.000 Whatever happens in Utah will happen in Idaho five years later.

00:15:35.000 Yeah, so Tyler, should we hire two staff or three in Utah maybe in 2025 just to kind of get our bearings there?

00:15:42.000 I totally think that the smart thing to do for the movement would be to build a proverbial wall down the Colorado River up Nevada.

00:15:54.000 Yeah.

00:15:55.000 I think Greater Idaho is a great idea.

00:15:58.000 I'm not kidding.

00:15:59.000 We should really encourage that.

00:16:01.000 But that whole line from Idaho to Nevada to Arizona, we cannot let liberalism escape across that line because the moment that happens, it changes the map significantly.

00:16:13.000 If Utah becomes Colorado, you're in big trouble.

00:16:17.000 It doesn't seem like a lot.

00:16:18.000 I agree with you.

00:16:19.000 I agree with you on Utah completely.

00:16:22.000 And I also think there's some cultural trends within the Mormon Church that you know much more about, but I've seen from afar.

00:16:29.000 What is that all about, Tyler?

00:16:30.000 The minute remaining.

00:16:31.000 What is that all about?

00:16:33.000 Well, it's like, it's the same thing in Catholicism, that Catholicism kind of went through, is that, you know, when you have an Orthodoxy church that wants to be cool, an Orthodox church that wants to be cool, you start having problems where they start giving up the ghost on social issues, and that changes...

00:16:53.000 Your entire community.

00:16:54.000 And when you look at what the goals are of the left, especially in big cities, and so Salt Lake, you look at Salt Lake, you look at Boise, they get people elected there that are carriers of those ideologies.

00:17:09.000 And those carriers of the ideologies, it expands far beyond the nice, good-feeling, lovey-dovey social issues that seemingly don't matter.

00:17:18.000 But then start to bleed into your doctrinal issues, both in your Orthodox community, but then it starts changing everything else outside of that.

00:17:29.000 And that's what we've seen in Salt Lake.

00:17:31.000 That's what we've seen, obviously, in Americopa County.

00:17:33.000 We've seen it in...

00:17:35.000 Las Vegas, we've seen in Clark County.

00:17:37.000 We see it happening starting in Boise.

00:17:40.000 And the Idahoans are fighting back, which good for them that they're doing that.

00:17:44.000 But there's a lot of creep there that happens, and we've got to stay on top of it.

00:17:51.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:52.000 A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving MyPillow with a ton of extra pillows.

00:17:56.000 But you know what?

00:17:57.000 That's their loss in your game.

00:17:59.000 For the first time ever, you can get a standard classic MyPillow for wholesale prices, only $14.88.

00:18:04.000 But it gets better.

00:18:47.000 That is MyPillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:18:53.000 Tyler, I'm going to take, not issue, I'm just going to slightly disagree with the Idaho piece, just because I can tell you, first-hand experience, I can't even count how many friends in California I've seen move to Idaho, and they were all rock-ribbed conservatives.

00:19:08.000 So I would say that Idaho, and even Montana to some extent, is getting an influx of R-plus-whatever refugees. 1.00

00:19:18.000 There's a problem that exists in Utah and Idaho.

00:19:22.000 And again, you have a faltering, social, knee-bending Mormon church right now. 1.00

00:19:31.000 So the LDS church runs a lot of Boise.

00:19:35.000 Boise is growing up in And not out.

00:19:38.000 The Democrats are really trying to push that.

00:19:40.000 So they've had some major battles the last few years and trying to keep out the progressive.

00:19:45.000 I'll give a shout out to all of our Mormons that are holding the line, the America First Mormons.

00:19:45.000 It's funny.

00:19:51.000 They call them progmos.

00:19:52.000 They call them progressive Mormons that are there.

00:19:54.000 They're trying to take over the city.

00:19:55.000 And then in addition to that, you have Coeur d'Alene.

00:19:58.000 So Coeur d'Alene is, you have the Coeur d'Alene problem like you have the Park City problem in Utah, where as long as you encapsulate it and you keep it within that space and you don't let them out, then you're good.

00:20:12.000 But if you let that problem grow...

00:20:14.000 Because a lot of what's happening in Coeur d'Alene is you have a lot of good people are moving in, but then you also have a lot of libs that are moving in from California.

00:20:21.000 So a lot of the big money guys are moving in and changing things already.

00:20:25.000 And so the good news for Idaho is that Coeur d'Alene isn't like in the epicenter and the heartbeat of Idaho.

00:20:31.000 And the conservatives that are up there have done a really good job at managing it and stopping it, unlike Utah.

00:20:38.000 Utah allowed it in at the wrong time.

00:20:41.000 And we had some bad governors that were in there that allowed it in.

00:20:44.000 The current governor is very weak.

00:20:46.000 Everybody knows that was Spencer Cox and so many others.

00:20:49.000 And so now it's like, is it too late?

00:20:51.000 Well, no, it's not too late.

00:20:53.000 Idaho has shown that, and I agree with you on that, Andrew.

00:20:55.000 But it's something that you have to keep an eye on.

00:20:57.000 Otherwise, you start losing places you shouldn't be losing.

00:21:01.000 I totally agree.

00:21:02.000 And Utah did the same thing that Texas was doing where it was like, hey, Hewlett Packard, move your HQ from California to Texas.

00:21:11.000 We're open for business.

00:21:12.000 And it's like, well, you know, great in theory if you're just thinking Which was the old way of doing business.

00:21:20.000 Conservatives need to be more savvy than that and say, listen, there's more to life than your GDP bottom line.

00:21:25.000 And you're bringing in all these libs from California, like 200,000 of them for an HQ. It's one thing if it's Elon Musk's team doing it.

00:21:36.000 It's a whole other thing if you're just saying, hey, Silicon Valley, come infect our location.

00:21:40.000 Utah did the same thing.

00:21:41.000 You hit the nail on the head.

00:21:42.000 And Arizona did the same thing.

00:21:43.000 And Nevada did the same thing, too, where you unwittingly.

00:21:46.000 And this was the old Coke era of type of politics, which was and I call it, you know, having just this alternate where you're again, you have this despotism, this liberal despotism that happens within these states.

00:22:02.000 So what ends up happening is they move their headquarters to these states.

00:22:05.000 But guess who doesn't move?

00:22:07.000 The bosses still don't move from California.

00:22:10.000 And so they're still reporting.

00:22:11.000 So they move all these Californians from the Bay Area to these states instead of hiring people that are in those states.

00:22:17.000 And then they're still reporting to the Californians.

00:22:20.000 So you basically have just expanded the borders, the policy borders of California into Idaho and Nevada and Utah and Texas and Arizona if you allow it.

00:22:30.000 The answer is really simple, and you hit the nail on the head, Andrew, is don't let them just move everybody here and keep answering to people in the Bay Area.

00:22:39.000 Move your headquarters here, but you have to hire people from here, or you have to hire new people.

00:22:45.000 And by the way, your leadership has to also live here.

00:22:49.000 You can't let them just keep reporting to people in San Francisco.

00:22:53.000 Yeah, I totally agree.

00:22:55.000 Because what happens is these states will give these sweetheart tax deals To companies just to lure them in. 0.84

00:23:02.000 And it's like, no, there's got to be some strings attached.

00:23:04.000 You have to meet this benchmark, this benchmark, or this benchmark.

00:23:08.000 And then we'll play ball.

00:23:11.000 But in general, I think it's been really disastrous across the West as Californians have...

00:23:17.000 You know, become refugees across the West.

00:23:21.000 And, you know, as Tucker Carlson says, they're making a lot of these places unlivable, just like they did to California.

00:23:29.000 Corporatist despotism.

00:23:31.000 Can't allow it.

00:23:32.000 Got to knock it off.

00:23:33.000 Don't show up.

00:23:34.000 I always tease our Freedom Caucus members.

00:23:36.000 Don't show up with the gold shovel at the groundbreaking of this place, you know, digging the foundation, laying the foundation to inviting a bunch of liberal hacks to take over our society. 0.98

00:23:46.000 No more.

00:23:47.000 No more of that.

00:23:48.000 We have to demand that they hire people that are local.

00:23:51.000 So, guys, I have a question here.

00:23:53.000 Was this last election result enough to get Democrats out of Texas?

00:24:00.000 It's a great conversation.

00:24:02.000 I never want to get arrogant about it.

00:24:04.000 That's why I asked it.

00:24:05.000 Because progress that you make can be undone in future cycles.

00:24:09.000 So I know we've had a lot of discussion.

00:24:12.000 We had Rich Barris on.

00:24:13.000 He was talking about, oh, we can turn New Jersey into a swing state in future cycles.

00:24:18.000 I feel like my first priority would be secure the win, which is we did get a swing of Hispanic voters, Asian voters.

00:24:26.000 A lot of different people are voting GOP for the first time.

00:24:29.000 Now you want to consolidate, try to lock that in as a thing people will consistently do.

00:24:35.000 And so I don't want to say they're out of Texas.

00:24:38.000 They might even come back in hard Texas in two years.

00:24:40.000 I don't know that we have any major races there, maybe just the governor's election.

00:24:44.000 But They'll want to come back, and you have to really break their spirit over several cycles.

00:24:51.000 Now, Florida!

00:24:53.000 Florida, I could see them bailing on for a while.

00:24:56.000 Those numbers are ghastly there.

00:24:58.000 They're looking really bad.

00:25:00.000 But one of the things about it is Florida's GOP is extremely effective.

00:25:03.000 So you want to get similarly effective GOPs in these other states.

00:25:08.000 Well, back to Texas.

00:25:10.000 So Charlie, you know, I've been talking about this.

00:25:13.000 So there is an epicenter, there's a nucleus for Democrat-focused in Texas, and it's Harris County, Texas.

00:25:21.000 It's Houston.

00:25:22.000 So that is the heartbeat for the Bushes as well.

00:25:26.000 Harris County.

00:25:27.000 Harris County, otherwise known as Bush-like County.

00:25:33.000 It's funny that the Bushes all voted for Kamala Harris because they're from Harris County.

00:25:37.000 So Harris County is the place that they've focused in on, zeroed in on.

00:25:42.000 If you can make significant gains in Houston, you can flip the entire state of Texas.

00:25:47.000 So they're not going to be trying to do too much.

00:25:50.000 And in fact, we've seen Dallas move to the right, especially with the conversion.

00:25:55.000 Fort Worth, especially.

00:25:56.000 Yeah, there's been a lot of really great white pill stuff happening in Dallas.

00:26:01.000 And again, just continuing on the conversation that Andrew just brought up, you have a lot of conservatives actually moving into Dallas, coming from other places, jobs, everything else.

00:26:09.000 It's kind of like Phoenix, where it's so big, it's going this way and not this way.

00:26:14.000 It's harder for them.

00:26:15.000 But Houston's not the same.

00:26:16.000 Houston, they can go this way.

00:26:18.000 And that's the real problem for us.

00:26:20.000 So it's something to keep an eye on, Charlie, I think. 0.99

00:26:23.000 I think that the Republicans would be stupid not to get ahead of this. 0.99

00:26:27.000 We have to staff up. 0.99

00:26:29.000 We have to defend Texas.

00:26:31.000 And the place to do that is Houston.

00:26:33.000 And that starts with getting people elected at the very local level, managing elections, doing things that are going to save that city.

00:26:41.000 Otherwise, Texas could go.

00:26:43.000 Once Texas goes, the entire map changes.

00:26:45.000 So you got to do it.

00:26:47.000 But do you think we scared him away?

00:26:49.000 Do you think that we, I mean, shushed him away?

00:26:50.000 Ted Cruz, double-digit win.

00:26:52.000 Trump, nearly a 16%.

00:26:53.000 What was Trump's final margin?

00:26:55.000 I want to say it was about 14 points.

00:26:57.000 By the way, this has been the apple of their eye.

00:26:59.000 Trump, 14 points.

00:27:00.000 I mean, does that finally...

00:27:02.000 So if you're the Democrats here, do you get spooked by the Sun Belt?

00:27:06.000 Yes.

00:27:07.000 I mean, you got Arizona that's...

00:27:09.000 I just want to brag on Arizona.

00:27:11.000 And Tyler, you know this.

00:27:13.000 Donald Trump won Arizona by 3.5 points in 2016.

00:27:16.000 He's on pace for a seven or eight point victory.

00:27:19.000 Nearly double that of 2016.

00:27:21.000 Nine.

00:27:21.000 Nearly nine.

00:27:22.000 Double.

00:27:23.000 Nine.

00:27:23.000 More than double.

00:27:25.000 Okay.

00:27:26.000 We could go nine.

00:27:28.000 Give me nine.

00:27:30.000 A note of caution.

00:27:31.000 If you look at, obviously, us doing way better with Hispanics is the big narrative of this election.

00:27:36.000 If you look at the polling, they said economic issues were the number one thing for them.

00:27:42.000 Inflation.

00:27:43.000 Even the border is kind of an economic issue for a lot of them because it's, you know, competitive.

00:27:48.000 You know, they're much more affected by the lower wages that come from having more competition from illegal workers and so on.

00:27:55.000 So for them, the economy is important.

00:27:58.000 So one of the biggest things is we need to deliver on working class economic issues.

00:28:02.000 If we do not, these are not people who are going to be ride or die with us for cultural topics.

00:28:09.000 These are people.

00:28:10.000 I agree, Blake.

00:28:10.000 Can be won back if we fail on the economy and if Democrats fix up their agenda to have a better economic message, they'll be vulnerable to going back.

00:28:18.000 Remember, Blake, George H. or George W. Bush won 40 percent of them or maybe even 44 percent.

00:28:25.000 I forget in 2004.

00:28:27.000 Yep.

00:28:28.000 And we lost them for another bunch of cycles.

00:28:31.000 Yeah, because the economy was destroyed, and we took the blame for it.

00:28:35.000 So we have to be good stewards of...

00:28:39.000 Our country and its prosperity.

00:28:42.000 And if we're able to deliver that, I think in four years you could have Vance or anyone else running on a very compelling message that the Republican platform delivered for working class Americans.

00:28:57.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:28:58.000 Ask my friends at Tax Network USA about the IRS crackdown everyone's talking about.

00:30:00.000 So guys, just let's recap the week.

00:30:02.000 Wow.

00:30:03.000 We won!

00:30:06.000 We won and we did so by more than I think any of us honestly expected.

00:30:14.000 We could show the cameras.

00:30:15.000 We had our air mattresses ready to go.

00:30:20.000 We had enough food to last for an entire winter.

00:30:24.000 We were ready for this election to be a knife fight for days on end to claw out the winning votes either way.

00:30:31.000 And instead, it was clear we were going to win by 10pm.

00:30:36.000 Charlie, I want to give the Turning Point effort a shout.

00:30:41.000 Not only did we, as it stands now, chase more ballots than the margin of victory in Arizona.

00:30:47.000 We chased more ballots than the margin of victory in Wisconsin.

00:30:51.000 We had historic gains with young voters.

00:30:54.000 And I'm just going to rattle off the talking points.

00:30:56.000 We won young men by 10 points.

00:31:00.000 We won young white voters for the first time in a generation, outright.

00:31:06.000 We were supposed to lose women by 30 points. 1.00

00:31:09.000 We only lost them by 10, young women.

00:31:11.000 We won young voters in Michigan.

00:31:17.000 Every single campus that Turning Point visited, we saw gains for the Republican ticket up and down the ballot.

00:31:24.000 Every single one.

00:31:25.000 From East Carolina State, I was going through each campus, Charlie, to Center County in Pennsylvania, to ASU, U of A. Across the board, a massive historic A realignment.

00:31:41.000 As James Woods shouted you out on Twitter, Charlie, we saw the woke mind virus, the strangle that it had on young people, get broke.

00:31:53.000 There was over 2.1 billion views of your campus debates on TikTok and YouTube and Instagram and X. What happened will be written about for generations, and I'm so honored to have played a small part in what this team accomplished.

00:32:11.000 And Tyler, as the architect...

00:32:12.000 Huge part.

00:32:12.000 You guys all played it.

00:32:13.000 It's a team victory.

00:32:15.000 Well, Tyler is...

00:32:17.000 Take a victory lap, Tyler.

00:32:19.000 Well, let me just say this.

00:32:21.000 Let me rattle off a few different things.

00:32:23.000 Let me just say this one real quick.

00:32:24.000 Tyler, you were the architect.

00:32:26.000 You were the architect of the chase, and you deserve a ton of kudos, my friend.

00:32:32.000 Well, I'll rattle off a couple of different things.

00:32:34.000 Our Chase the Vote program contacted every single person, almost 400,000 people in Arizona.

00:32:40.000 We had over 140,000 people that we built relationships ahead of the election.

00:32:45.000 We had over a massive 28% turnout in the primary.

00:32:48.000 We're going to have almost 60% turnout of low propensity voters that we chased.

00:32:54.000 It's maybe larger than that.

00:32:55.000 We registered over 25,000 people just in Arizona alone, tens of thousands across the country that shifted.

00:33:01.000 We're waiting for data in Arizona, but our total turnout per county is 10% greater with new voters.

00:33:10.000 And to give credit to Charlie, I sent you guys this this morning.

00:33:13.000 Right now, evangelicals are outpacing the average in Arizona by 10% in turnout for Republicans.

00:33:21.000 Our commit 100 program contacted three times over our entire universe.

00:33:26.000 We recruited more than 2,000 volunteers from every state except for Vermont to fill 10 hotels, to contact over 200,000 unique additional voters successfully, and we left behind messages and called and texted another 350,000 voters.

00:33:45.000 We knocked doors, sent tens of thousands of postcards, 200,000 text messages in the last week that were personalized text messages from individuals through our application that we developed.

00:33:58.000 On text messages, we had 5 million messages just in Arizona alone.

00:34:04.000 Millions from Brett Favre and other people in Wisconsin.

00:34:08.000 That was thanks to Charlie.

00:34:10.000 Diamondbacks legend Luis Gonzalez.

00:34:12.000 Coyotes legend Jeremy Roenick.

00:34:14.000 Charlie, Donald Trump Jr.

00:34:15.000 that we sent out.

00:34:16.000 We had Vivek at things.

00:34:19.000 Brett Favre.

00:34:19.000 Antonio Brown.

00:34:21.000 Antonio Brown that we had.

00:34:22.000 Le'Veon Bell that was at our event.

00:34:25.000 Our chase to vote operations were waiting final data, but we had chased more than 170,000 voters by Saturday of last week.

00:34:32.000 It will likely break 200,000 voters.

00:34:36.000 210,000 that we're tracking right now, just in Arizona alone.

00:34:41.000 And that's just in addition to the dozens of billboards that we put up.

00:34:46.000 We had millions of views and over-the-top content that we did for Kerry and President Trump.

00:34:52.000 It's wild.

00:34:53.000 Got to run.

00:34:54.000 Unbelievable.

00:34:55.000 All right, everybody.

00:34:56.000 What a week.

00:34:56.000 A week we'll never forget.

00:34:57.000 And it was just the start.
