00:00:44.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:31.000 So, JD, welcome to Arizona.

00:01:33.000 It's good to be here, man.

00:01:34.000 Hello, Arizona.

00:01:34.000 How are we doing?

00:01:39.000 Now, J.D., I notice we don't have any teleprompters here for you tonight.

00:01:44.000 It's a little just off-the-cuff taking questions and also questions from the audience.

00:01:48.000 What do you make of it, how strange and bizarre it is Kamala Harris has gone 40-plus days without taking a serious interview by herself or a press conference?

00:01:59.000 By the way, how great is J.D.

00:02:01.000 Vance with these press conferences?

00:02:02.000 Does he not do a great job?

00:02:06.000 What do you make of that?

00:02:08.000 You know, look, I mean, she's terrified of the media because she's terrified of the American people because she knows that if she speaks off the cuff, she's going to let them know just how completely radical she is. 0.93

00:02:18.000 I mean, look, Kamala Harris, her entire campaign, think about this, she's trying to run away from every position that she had three and a half years ago. 1.00

00:02:26.000 She said she wanted to defund the police.

00:02:29.000 And by the way, we should be thinking about and praying about those two Phoenix police officers who just got shot yesterday.

00:02:33.000 God bless them and thank them for their service.

00:02:37.000 Sounds like we've got one in stable condition and that's great, but hopefully both of them come out of it.

00:02:41.000 But look, wanted to defund the police, now she says she doesn't. 0.99

00:02:45.000 She wanted to ban fracking, now she says she doesn't. 0.79

00:02:47.000 She was the border czar who opened the American southern border, but now all of a sudden she says she believes in border security.

00:02:53.000 I joke with President Trump that she's going to show up at a rally one day with a long red tie and the slogan, Make America Great Again, because that's what Kamala Harris is doing. 1.00

00:03:02.000 She's pretending to be You know, we had a rally, Charlie, where the president called me right before I went out and he said, what do you think is going on here?

00:03:10.000 And I said, I don't know, sir.

00:03:11.000 I think maybe she wants my job. 0.85

00:03:13.000 She realizes the Kamala Harris campaign is not going well, so she wants to replace me on the ticket. 0.99

00:03:17.000 But we cannot let the American people forget how radical she is.

00:03:22.000 She is exactly what she said she was.

00:03:24.000 She is exactly what she has governed as.

00:03:27.000 And the reason why she only talks to the American people with a teleprompter sitting in between them is because she knows the American people can smell a fraud and she is a fraud and we have to remind people of it. 0.83

00:03:40.000 And we saw this on display at the DNC in Chicago where they pretended to be something they were not.

00:03:47.000 Now the radicalism they allowed to slip here or there, but basically it reminds us the country is not nearly as liberal as its leaders have become.

00:03:57.000 That the country is a center-right country.

00:04:00.000 That we want borders.

00:04:01.000 That we do not want men in female sports.

00:04:04.000 Right.

00:04:06.000 That we want sound currency.

00:04:09.000 And she knows that if she ran as what she truly is, a San Francisco liberal, that the people would reject that soundly.

00:04:17.000 So we must not just remind her, but let's go through that record.

00:04:20.000 It's very important, just on the police in particular.

00:04:23.000 What did she do in 2020, four years ago? 0.98

00:04:26.000 She donated to a bail fund, is that correct?

00:04:30.000 Yeah, it's almost hard to believe, Charlie, but I looked this up, it actually is true.

00:04:34.000 Remember when there were rioters in the summer of 2020 that burned down the city of Minneapolis and a bunch of other cities on top of it?

00:04:40.000 Now, they didn't catch a whole lot of them, but they did catch some of those rioters, and guess who was at the front of the line trying to bail them out of prison?

00:04:47.000 Kamala Harris, who now says that she supports police officers.

00:04:51.000 We can never let her forget it.

00:04:52.000 She was bailing out the people who were attacking police officers, And burning down a great American city, that is the record of Kamala Harris.

00:05:00.000 And let's have a president like Donald J. Trump who actually supports our police officers who keep us safe.

00:05:04.000 It's very simple stuff.

00:05:10.000 But it actually gets worse, Charlie, because Kamala Harris, she likes to say that she was a tough-on-crime prosecutor. 0.97

00:05:16.000 Her record as prosecutor is that she turned San Francisco into the high-crime problem that it is today. 0.64

00:05:23.000 San Francisco, by the way, one of the most beautiful cities in the country before Kamala Harris got a hold of it.

00:05:29.000 And after she let the drug cartels, The drug dealers and everybody else take hold of San Francisco. 0.98

00:05:35.000 You're now at a situation in San Francisco, where if you call the police, unless you're getting actively assaulted, they will say sometimes, call us back in a couple of hours.

00:05:44.000 They're so overwhelmed, and that is the record of Kamala Harris.

00:05:48.000 So we can't, again, Charlie, this is so important, we can't let people forget exactly who she is.

00:05:53.000 And remember, it's not just that she said all these crazy things back in 2020, It's that she has governed like a San Francisco liberal.

00:06:00.000 And this is the kicker, that she's also attempting to do some sort of a mind manipulation trick. 0.99

00:06:07.000 She's the current Vice President of the United States, right everybody?

00:06:10.000 She's in office right now! 1.00

00:06:12.000 Charlie, it takes a special level of shamelessness.

00:06:15.000 Maybe I've only been in politics for two years, so I just haven't reached that level.

00:06:19.000 But to look at the American people, even though she's reading off a teleprompter, and to say, on day one, we're going to make groceries and housing more affordable.

00:06:28.000 On day one, Kamala Harris says this, we're going to tackle the American southern border.

00:06:32.000 Kamala, day one was three and a half years ago.

00:06:34.000 what the hell have you been doing the whole time?

00:06:36.000 And...

00:06:38.000 And...

00:06:40.000 And you'll have to forgive me...

00:06:57.000 Thank you, thank you, but... All the pastors in the room have to forgive me, because I do sometimes talk like my mammal.

00:07:07.000 And she was a woman of very serious Christian faith, but she did love the F-word every now and then, so hopefully that's the only curse word that I have. 0.99

00:07:13.000 Faith!

00:07:14.000 I'm gonna try to reign it in.

00:07:15.000 We've got, you know, we've got faith.

00:07:15.000 That's right.

00:07:17.000 I need a little grace here. 1.00

00:07:21.000 But the shamelessness, as you were saying, is remarkable.

00:07:24.000 And this is important.

00:07:25.000 She'll say, on day one, I'll do this.

00:07:28.000 So, okay, let's just take one example.

00:07:30.000 If she was serious about securing the border, which, for those of us that live here in this state, we are being invaded on a daily basis.

00:07:37.000 We are being invaded.

00:07:40.000 It's so frustrating because a Democrat will be running for office and they'll raise a bunch of out-of-state money like Ruben Gallego and previously Mark Kelly and they'll run all these ads where they'll literally walk alongside Trump's border wall and then they'll go to the Senate and vote against everything but they will lie to the vote.

00:07:59.000 You guys have seen those ads, right?

00:08:01.000 And they are open border candidates.

00:08:03.000 Kamala Harris now has Trump's border wall in her advertisement.

00:08:07.000 And so, was she not tasked?

00:08:09.000 That's hard to believe.

00:08:10.000 Even for me, that's hard to believe.

00:08:11.000 No, it's true.

00:08:12.000 You guys saw that.

00:08:13.000 Trump's border wall was in her ad.

00:08:15.000 She stopped construction of the border wall on day one.

00:08:18.000 That's what Kamala Harris did. 1.00

00:08:19.000 So is it the border wall that's laying on the ground?

00:08:22.000 Because that would be appropriate because that's what Kamala Harris actually did. 1.00

00:08:25.000 But it's also, my friends, you go through the list of policies.

00:08:29.000 I mean, some of this stuff is really hard.

00:08:30.000 Public policy sometimes is really tough.

00:08:33.000 Border security is actually not that hard, okay?

00:08:36.000 It's simple.

00:08:37.000 One, empower the Border Patrol to stop the bad guys when they try to come across, right?

00:08:41.000 Number two, deport people who come into this country illegally. 1.00

00:08:41.000 That's number one. 1.00

00:08:48.000 That's number two.

00:08:51.000 And number three, Number three is don't let people claim asylum and then bounce around in our country for 12 years awaiting a court date. 0.95

00:09:01.000 Make them stay in Mexico if they want to claim asylum. 0.98

00:09:04.000 That's the remain in Mexico policy that works so well.

00:09:08.000 And the contrast between President Trump, who did all of these things.

00:09:12.000 He implemented the Remain in Mexico policy.

00:09:14.000 He actually came up with it.

00:09:15.000 He did actually deport people.

00:09:17.000 He didn't let people take advantage of our asylum process.

00:09:20.000 Kamala Harris, on day one, promised she was going to undo all of that stuff, and that's exactly what she did. 0.88

00:09:26.000 And we have the border catastrophe now because of that.

00:09:28.000 Charlie, we have to remember here the incredible human toll of this stuff.

00:09:33.000 Because we have American citizens right now who are dying of fentanyl overdoses that the Mexican drug cartels are bringing into our communities.

00:09:40.000 We have thousands, this is hard to believe, we have thousands of missing children because Kamala Harris has let the cartels sex trafficking minors in our own country.

00:09:52.000 You know my story, Charlie, but I was raised by a woman who struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life.

00:09:59.000 That's one of the reasons why my grandmother played such a big role for me.

00:10:02.000 And, you know, Mom, I remember when she took something that she shouldn't have taken, and it almost took her life.

00:10:07.000 And she was in a coma for a few days, and I remember praying, you know, Lord Jesus, please let Mom wake up this time.

00:10:14.000 And because She didn't take fentanyl.

00:10:17.000 She did get that second chance, and she's been clean and sober, by the way, for almost 10 years.

00:10:21.000 And God bless her, and I'm so thrilled for that.

00:10:28.000 But imagine, Charlie, if the poison that Kamala Harris is letting come across the border today had been coming across 15 years ago.

00:10:35.000 I don't think that I would have gotten that second chance with my mom.

00:10:37.000 And so Kamala Harris, and to every broken D.C. 0.81

00:10:41.000 politician from Rugen Gallego on down, If you're not going to do your job and you're not going to stop this poison from coming into our country, our message on November 5th is you are fired.

00:10:51.000 Get out of there.

00:10:52.000 We've actually got some political leaders who are going to work for the American people.

00:10:58.000 And according to the Department of Homeland Security, it's 320,000 missing children.

00:11:06.000 And here we are in a house of worship, a house of the Lord, and we as Christians, that alone should be a reason to vote for Donald J. Trump and JD Vance.

00:11:17.000 That's absolutely right.

00:11:18.000 Right there.

00:11:20.000 And can you speak to that, JD?

00:11:22.000 Because we as Christians must care about the children.

00:11:26.000 It's so clear in the scriptures.

00:11:27.000 It says, it is better for you to have a millstone hung around your neck and thrown into the sea than to go after one of these little ones.

00:11:36.000 And 320,000 children.

00:11:37.000 JD, it's almost hard to believe.

00:11:39.000 It is hard to believe.

00:11:40.000 But this is what our government leaders have done.

00:11:42.000 320,000 kids.

00:11:44.000 And we know, by the way, a lot of those kids have lost their lives.

00:11:48.000 A lot of those kids are being sex trafficked by some of the most evil people in the world.

00:11:52.000 This is the wages of Kamala Harris's disastrous border policy, and it's happening every day in this country. 0.96

00:11:57.000 We have to remember that they told us that Kamala Harris was the compassionate person when it came to the border.

00:12:04.000 Remember when they said Donald Trump is the person who wanted to separate families?

00:12:04.000 Remember that?

00:12:08.000 No.

00:12:09.000 The way that you keep families together is to send a message that if you want to come to this country, you've got to come through the proper channels. 0.77

00:12:16.000 When you empower these cartels, when you tell everybody that they can come across illegally, that's what causes family separation on an industrial scale.

00:12:27.000 Never let them tell you that Kamala Harris' border policies are compassionate.

00:12:31.000 There are 320,000 voices of children crying out, telling us Kamala Harris is not compassionate, she is a disaster, and we cannot promote her to the Oval Office.

00:12:45.000 Hey, this is Charlie Kirk for my friends at BestHotGrill.com.

00:13:46.000 They frame it as, you're right, a compassion issue, and it's not compassionate for anyone involved, including also, you guys feel it in our neighborhoods here in the Valley, with crime going up and the break-ins, and you guys see what's happening, and it's happening all across the Valley right now, where we have seen the toll of this illegal invasion, and they're sending them all across the country as well, where every single state has now become a border state.

00:14:12.000 And now, God forbid, and I want you to speak about this, J.D., because you speak about it so eloquently, God forbid, and this happens all the time, unfortunately, a 16-year-old makes a mistake at a party at 2 a.m.

00:14:22.000 on a Saturday, where he takes a drug that otherwise would have just been, you know, a bad night, but he could end up dead because of something laced with fentanyl.

00:14:31.000 Because that is, every week we see that story coming out of the valley.

00:14:31.000 Can you speak about that?

00:14:35.000 Yeah, so I was in Valdosta, Georgia, just a couple weeks ago.

00:14:38.000 And they showed me the interdiction unit where they interdict all the drugs that are coming into Valdosta, Georgia.

00:14:44.000 60,000 town, very small town.

00:14:46.000 Boxes and boxes of candy.

00:14:48.000 I'm talking about like Sour Patch Kids, Nerds, things like that.

00:14:51.000 And I said, why are these in here?

00:14:53.000 And it's because the cartels have figured out that if they make this stuff look like childhood candy, it's more likely to get through.

00:15:00.000 So now what happens when a kid picks up a packet of Nerds on a playground Or opens up a packet of candy in his high school and now that kid is going to die because he took a piece of candy.

00:15:13.000 Or even to take a step up.

00:15:14.000 I mean we're in a church and we believe in the Christian faith and forgiveness.

00:15:17.000 We believe in second chances.

00:15:19.000 It's one of the core messages of the gospel.

00:15:22.000 It really bothers me when you hear about some kid who, you know, they smoked They smoked a joint and it was laced with fentanyl.

00:15:30.000 Or they got into a pill and it was laced with fentanyl.

00:15:32.000 And now a childhood mistake took their life.

00:15:34.000 And you'll even hear sometimes, when I talk about this, you'll hear sometimes people on the Radical French say, well, they shouldn't have taken that in the first place.

00:15:42.000 And that totally misses the point.

00:15:44.000 And by the way, have some compassion for your fellow citizens, right?

00:15:47.000 But I know, Charlie, you've got You've got young children.

00:15:53.000 I've got a seven-year-old, a four-year-old, a two-year-old.

00:15:56.000 They're with me here in Phoenix, actually.

00:15:58.000 They came with us.

00:15:59.000 We even brought the dog.

00:16:04.000 German Shepherds don't like the Phoenix weather, it turns out.

00:16:09.000 I think I want my kids to grow up in a country where our neighborhoods are safe enough.

00:16:14.000 They can make a mistake without it taking their life.

00:16:17.000 And I want them to be able to deal with their childhood mistakes and with their problems and with their sins at church instead of having it destroy them.

00:16:25.000 And that is what Kamala Harris has done. 0.99

00:16:28.000 She's taken safety away from our kids.

00:16:30.000 She's taken second chances away from our families.

00:16:34.000 And from a policy perspective, this is a decision.

00:16:37.000 This is not happening to us.

00:16:39.000 This is a very important thing is that the Democrats and Kamala Harris, they frame the border issue as if it's this uncontrolled thing happening and that we have to just kind of manage it as if it's like a natural disaster.

00:16:52.000 Let's be clear, we are allowing it to happen.

00:16:55.000 What is happening is an act of the will.

00:16:58.000 Can you speak about that, JD?

00:16:59.000 Yeah man, it's an unnatural disaster and her name is Kamala Harris, right?

00:17:03.000 That's exactly what's going on here is we've got leadership That refuses to do its job.

00:17:09.000 I mean, we have to remember, they came in bragging about the fact that they were going to undo every single one of Donald Trump's border policies.

00:17:15.000 Remember that?

00:17:16.000 Remember three and a half years ago when Kamala Harris didn't pretend to be a border hawk?

00:17:20.000 She pretended to be what she is, an open borders radical.

00:17:23.000 And they said, we're going to do this on day one.

00:17:26.000 We're going to suspend deportations.

00:17:27.000 We're going to end the remain in Mexico policy.

00:17:29.000 They did every single thing that they promised that they were going to do.

00:17:33.000 And now they're trying to run from the consequences.

00:17:35.000 And the way that they get away with this is so important, Charlie.

00:17:39.000 The way that Kamala Harris gets away with this massive dishonest operation is for us to not get out and vote and penalize these people. 1.00

00:17:48.000 When our politicians lie to us, We have a response and we have an ability to push back.

00:17:55.000 It's at the ballot box.

00:17:56.000 So get out there, tell Kamala Harris you are fired and we're not going to reward people who gaslight us and lie to us about what they've done in office. 0.86

00:18:10.000 This state is one of the most consequential and one of the most crucial, which is why you're here.

00:18:15.000 Huge.

00:18:16.000 Especially this part of the valley.

00:18:17.000 And just to reiterate what I said earlier, every single one of you going out with Turning Point Action and to chase ballots and to register voters, J.D., we're seeing in this state, one of the buried leads, is that this state is actually becoming more Republican, not more Democrat, in 2020.

00:18:33.000 Hear, hear.

00:18:38.000 In 2020, we had about 100,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats.

00:18:45.000 Four years later, we now have 260,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats.

00:18:52.000 So we have become, and that's net, that is a net increase, and it's happening because Everyday Americans are seeing the failure of the open border policies, of seeing what's happening internationally, which I definitely want to talk about, which does not get enough attention recently.

00:19:08.000 But also, Phoenix, especially, and everyone here is feeling it, it used to be a decade ago one of America's most affordable cities.

00:19:17.000 Remember that?

00:19:18.000 Remember you used to brag to all of your friends and family in Chicago, LA, and New York?

00:19:23.000 Well, come to Phoenix, you can afford anything.

00:19:25.000 We are getting crushed by inflation here.

00:19:28.000 Inflation in the Sun Belt is the worst in the country, from housing prices to grocery prices.

00:19:34.000 Why is this happening, J.D.?

00:19:36.000 Explain it, and what will Trump-Vance do about it?

00:19:39.000 Yeah, so, inflation's obviously complicated, but in some ways it's very simple.

00:19:43.000 When you let in 20, when you talk about housing, for example, you let in 25 million illegal aliens into this country.

00:19:51.000 On the one hand, they're going to compete against Americans for scarce homes that are out there. 0.91

00:19:55.000 And then Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Explosion Act.

00:20:00.000 So mortgage interest rates are higher.

00:20:02.000 Home prices are way higher, and now Americans can't afford to buy a home.

00:20:05.000 That's exactly what's happened, right?

00:20:08.000 You bring in too many people, you have them compete against Americans, and then you drive mortgage interest rates through the roof.

00:20:13.000 That's exactly what Kamala Harris has done. 1.00

00:20:15.000 Now, she's also, of course, gone to war against American energy.

00:20:19.000 And energy goes into everything, right?

00:20:20.000 You want to manufacture anything, you need energy.

00:20:22.000 Our farmers want to transport Food to the grocery store. 1.00

00:20:26.000 They gotta do it on trucks.

00:20:27.000 The trucks require energy.

00:20:28.000 So when you raise the cost of energy, then you raise the cost of everything else.

00:20:32.000 Kamala Harris would rather us buy oil and gas from tin-pot dictators all over the world. 1.00

00:20:38.000 I think we ought to buy energy from American workers and from American territory.

00:20:43.000 And that'll create a... And Charlie...

00:20:49.000 That'll create a lot of jobs, man, but it'll also drive down the cost of everything.

00:20:53.000 I mean, we have to remember, you know, 30 years ago, and I hear this from Democrats, I hear this from Independents, I will hear people say, you know, 30 years ago, our parents just working a normal American middle-class job could afford to buy a home.

00:21:07.000 And they could afford to send their kids to a school where they were going to get an education and not an indoctrination.

00:21:12.000 And even if you weren't rich, you could trust that your kids were going to walk down the street In safe neighborhoods.

00:21:19.000 We have taken all of that away, except for the very rich and privileged people in this country, because they can afford private security, and they can afford to send their kids to school wherever they want to, and they can afford when Kamala Harris raises the price of energy by 50%.

00:21:32.000 You know who can't afford it?

00:21:34.000 The gross majority of American citizens.

00:21:36.000 And we cannot forget that when these guys say that they stand for the common man, or they stand for working people, You know who stood for working people and his policies backed it up?

00:21:47.000 Donald J. Trump for four whole years.

00:21:52.000 And when Donald Trump was president, one of the least reported economic miracles was the blue collar boom. 0.56

00:22:00.000 Amazing.

00:22:01.000 Where those that worked at their hands, the muscular class, and I see some of you guys out here, the plumbers, electricians, the welders, those of you that shower before work and after work, Those of you that are talked down to by your leaders because you don't have a college degree.

00:22:15.000 By the way, I'm right there with you.

00:22:16.000 I didn't go to college either, by the way.

00:22:19.000 You guys are building the country with your hands and you're increasingly joining the Republican Party because our values are together.

00:22:27.000 But the muscular class of this country saw their wages go up quicker than even high income earners.

00:22:33.000 That's what happened when Donald Trump was president.

00:22:35.000 There was a miraculous blue Yes.

00:22:37.000 collar boom. And this is why, J.D., everyday voters, they might say, oh, I don't know how

00:22:41.000 I feel about Trump, but my life was better when Trump was president. My life, we were

00:22:47.000 richer, our communities were safer, we had a border. That alone should decide the election.

00:22:54.000 Can you talk about how blue-collar America, the communities that you represent in Ohio, especially, because that is really the blue-collar center of this country, they were flourishing under Donald Trump.

00:23:05.000 Yes, they were.

00:23:06.000 And I think it's useful to go back a little bit because we have to remember, and I'd say it was bipartisan, Charlie. 0.94

00:23:11.000 For 30 years in this country, you had Republicans and Democrats united around a very stupid principle, that America didn't need to make its own stuff.

00:23:20.000 So who makes 95% of our ibuprofen? 0.99

00:23:22.000 The Chinese. 0.54

00:23:23.000 Who makes the antibiotics that we put into the bodies of our children? 0.99

00:23:26.000 The Chinese. 0.54

00:23:27.000 Who makes even some of the weapons that our troops need to fight with?

00:23:30.000 The Chinese. 1.00

00:23:31.000 Donald Trump, for the first time in 30 years, said, this is idiotic. 0.99

00:23:36.000 We need to make more in America with American workers and for American people. 0.99

00:23:42.000 Now, That was a national security imperative, right?

00:23:46.000 Building thousands of American factories, that happened under Donald Trump.

00:23:50.000 Like you say, take-home pay, especially for blue-collar workers, skyrocketed under Donald Trump's administration.

00:23:56.000 So it was a national security imperative, but it also meant that a lot of people were better off.

00:24:01.000 And I just want something very simple, and I know Donald Trump wants something very simple.

00:24:05.000 If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to afford a home and a nice life for your family.

00:24:10.000 It's very simple.

00:24:12.000 This is not like crazy, you gotta save the world and fix every problem.

00:24:18.000 We just want Americans to be able to live a decent life in the country their parents and grandparents built.

00:24:23.000 It's not so much to ask, we just gotta fire our broken leadership and get somebody who knows what they're doing back in the White House.

00:24:29.000 Amen.

00:24:33.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:24:34.000 As we gear up for another important election year, remember that we vote every day with our dollar.

00:25:32.000 Let's emphasize one of those points.

00:25:35.000 We have a serious housing shortage.

00:25:37.000 You mentioned the illegal issue here.

00:25:40.000 We're competing against foreigners for homes. 1.00

00:25:43.000 By the way, what a violation of the social contract that your 25-year-old son, who's an American citizen, gets married, wants to have a beautiful family in Gilbert, and has to go compete against a foreigner for a home? 0.92

00:25:57.000 We should not put up with that, okay?

00:25:59.000 Our homes should be prioritized for Americans first, above foreigners. 1.00

00:26:04.000 Period.

00:26:06.000 And so, can you speak to that, J.D.?

00:26:09.000 Absolutely.

00:26:10.000 Look, Charlie, you put it so well, this is disgraceful.

00:26:14.000 Kamala Harris' entire policy is to Import millions and millions of people into this country who violate our laws and then give them benefits that should go to American citizens. 1.00

00:26:25.000 We could go down the line.

00:26:26.000 She wants to give them homes that ought by rights to go to American citizens. 0.98

00:26:31.000 She wants to give them Medicare. 1.00

00:26:33.000 She said this.

00:26:33.000 She wants to give illegal aliens Medicare which would bankrupt that program and throw millions of American citizens Which is a perfect segue to her running mate.

00:26:42.000 Are you guys big Tim Walz fans here?

00:26:43.000 after American citizens paid into it for 30, 40 years.

00:26:47.000 Kamala Harris wants to give the American dream to people who shouldn't even be here. 1.00

00:26:51.000 Donald J. Trump wants to protect the American dream for people who ought to be here,

00:26:55.000 who deserve to be here, and who have fought for this country their whole lives.

00:26:59.000 Which is a perfect segue to her running mate. 1.00

00:27:04.000 Are you guys big Tim Walz fans here?

00:27:07.000 Neither am I.

00:27:10.000 By the way, I know what you're thinking.

00:27:14.000 Are you not excited to see J.D.

00:27:15.000 Vance debate Tim Walz?

00:27:17.000 Is that not going to be one of the best things ever?

00:27:24.000 They better have a mercy rule. 0.69

00:27:27.000 Who's moderating that debate?

00:27:29.000 Nora O'Donnell from CBS, and I think what actually might happen based on his military service is he's going to bail out at the last minute, but say he went anyway.

00:27:37.000 I think that's the Tim Walz approach to the debate.

00:27:44.000 By his own admission, he says he's not a good debater.

00:27:47.000 Uh, okay.

00:27:49.000 I don't know... I don't even know what to make of that.

00:27:50.000 J.D.

00:27:51.000 Vance is one of the best we have, by the way.

00:27:52.000 As you can tell.

00:27:56.000 But let's just look at the record, because not only has Kamala Harris stood for foreigners over Americans in every possible way, let's look at Tim Walz.

00:28:04.000 Tim Walz, taxpayer-funded tuition for illegals in Minnesota.

00:28:08.000 Correct me if I get any of this wrong.

00:28:09.000 That's right.

00:28:10.000 Taxpayer, the driver's licenses for illegals. 0.99

00:28:14.000 And also, I know there are other policies as well that were accommodating foreigners in the state of Minnesota.

00:28:20.000 On top of that, there's so much there that needs to be explained, yet he does not take questions.

00:28:26.000 And I want all of you to understand this.

00:28:27.000 If you're an undecided voter watching this at home, because we have millions of people watching this, or if you're an undecided voter here tonight, the ticket that is willing on a daily basis to take questions from reporters is probably the ticket that should govern your country, not the one that runs away from reporters.

00:28:46.000 If I may editorialize just a little bit more, why are reporters and journalists continually providing cover for the side that won't talk to them?

00:28:57.000 It's very bizarre.

00:28:58.000 It's like, at some point, when will these reporters say, I'm not going to carry your water anymore because you won't even allow me to ask a question. 0.60

00:29:06.000 By the way, how pathetic was that CNN interview with Kamala Harris and Tim Wall? 0.69

00:29:10.000 The whole thing was very weird.

00:29:11.000 So Tim Wall's Yes, so much we could talk about and I think it's important to reinforce.

00:29:17.000 and did not call on the National Guard within 24 hours.

00:29:22.000 Talk about Tim Walz, without a doubt, the most radical, out-of-touch vice presidential selection

00:29:28.000 in modern American political history.

00:29:30.000 Yeah, so much we could talk about, and I think it's important to reinforce this just drives

00:29:33.000 home how terrible Kamala Harris' judgment is, right?

00:29:36.000 Now, she says she doesn't want to defund the police, even though she supported those policies.

00:29:40.000 Then she goes and picks a VP nominee who allowed rioters to burn Minneapolis to the ground.

00:29:45.000 And actually pushed back against Donald Trump when he said that he wanted to send in the National Guard to save Minneapolis.

00:29:50.000 And thank God, eventually, Donald Trump did exactly that.

00:29:53.000 Finally, Tim Walz relented.

00:29:54.000 But after, of course, $13 billion of damage had been done.

00:29:57.000 This is a guy who, I was asked by John Carl of ABC, said, you know, you've accused Tim Walz of wanting to kidnap people who don't want to consent to gender reassignment for their kids.

00:30:08.000 And I said, well, he signed legislation, he supported legislation that would take children away from their parents if their parents don't want to do sex changes.

00:30:17.000 How would you define that as anything other than kidnapping?

00:30:20.000 And this is a guy, by the way, Charlie, who says that he believes in small government, that he wants the government to stay out of your bedroom.

00:30:28.000 He wants the government to steal your children from you if you don't agree with Tim Walz's values.

00:30:33.000 That is not small government. 0.98

00:30:35.000 That's disgusting and he should be ashamed of himself. 0.97

00:30:37.000 But look, the... But the most fundamental issue, and we're going to keep on going back to it, Charlie, is you cannot stand for working people. 0.99

00:30:50.000 He says that he's a union guy, that he supports union people, that he supports working people.

00:30:54.000 You can't stand for working people. 1.00

00:30:56.000 If you're trying to import millions of illegal aliens to steal their jobs. 0.85

00:31:00.000 There is no way that you can square that circle.

00:31:03.000 The biggest threat to American workers in this country, the biggest threat to Americans being able to afford a home is when Kamala Harris has let 25 million illegal aliens just set up shop in this country. 0.97

00:31:13.000 So Tim Walz doesn't stand for workers.

00:31:16.000 He stands for the Democrat Party donors, and that's exactly who's going to serve as Vice President.

00:31:20.000 We're going to serve the people.

00:31:21.000 That's who Donald J. Trump and I believe we ought to serve and we ought to fight for.

00:31:29.000 So let's expand on one of those points, which I think is very important.

00:31:33.000 So Tim Walz signed a piece of legislation, and by the way, Washington, Oregon, and California have very similar laws, and these are called trans-sanctuary state laws, where Effectively, it is medical kidnapping, where if you have a 14 year old son or daughter that declares that they are a boy when they are biologically a girl, or vice versa, that the state has the ability to take possession and custody of your minor.

00:32:03.000 If you as the parent do not affirm the new gender that they might have learned at school or on TikTok.

00:32:09.000 Is that correct, J.D.?

00:32:10.000 That's exactly right.

00:32:11.000 And that's kidnapping, Charlie.

00:32:12.000 That is legalized kidnapping.

00:32:15.000 And if you're a Christian or just a person of conscience in this country, You ought to be telling the person who wants to do that, no way. 0.96

00:32:23.000 We are not letting you anywhere near the halls of power.

00:32:26.000 And that's what we have an opportunity to do. 0.53

00:32:28.000 But it's, man, it is so sick.

00:32:30.000 I mean, think about this.

00:32:30.000 Look, Charlie, I have an incredible amount of sympathy and compassion for some of these kids.

00:32:35.000 I mean, you know, adolescence is confusing for almost every teenager, right?

00:32:39.000 Every teenager goes through this or that thing.

00:32:42.000 They go through an awkward phase.

00:32:43.000 They maybe go through a goth phase.

00:32:45.000 That was big when I was a kid in the 90s.

00:32:47.000 Look, kids go through this stuff.

00:32:49.000 But now we have social media going and telling them that, hey, you know, it's not just growing up or it's not just growing pains.

00:32:57.000 You are in the wrong body and you need to go mutilate yourself to feel like a whole person again.

00:33:04.000 That's a terribly scary thing for a young teenager to go through.

00:33:08.000 Tim Walz wants to take those kids away from their parents I think we ought to encourage the parents to make those kids safe and to help them deal with whatever they're dealing with, not steal them away from the people who love them the most.

00:33:20.000 It's sick, but it's... It's not just sick, Charlie.

00:33:26.000 It reveals an entire value set.

00:33:28.000 You ask yourself, how can you be the governor?

00:33:31.000 I mean, every protective instinct that I have as a father is, if I'm in a position of leadership, I'm going to fight back against the people who are trying to burn down my city.

00:33:41.000 Or, I've got three little kids, I'm going to fight back against the people who are trying to take my children away from me because they got a weird idea in their head from social media.

00:33:50.000 Or, I'm going to fight back against the people who are stealing the jobs of American workers or making it unaffordable for young Americans to buy a home.

00:33:58.000 Tim Walz, every single time he gets an opportunity, he fights for the people who are harming American citizens.

00:34:04.000 We need a president who's going to fight for American citizens.

00:34:06.000 We just don't have that right now in this country.

00:34:09.000 Amen.

00:34:11.000 And just to expand on that, think about it.

00:34:15.000 A kid goes through a phase and now is able to irreversibly damage him or herself without parental consent.

00:34:23.000 There's a reason why you're not allowed to get a tattoo till you're 18 years old.

00:34:28.000 Because you might do something that you might regret, and yet now we call that gender-affirming care.

00:34:36.000 Only President Trump and J.D.

00:34:38.000 Vance stand for the children of this country against that horror that is happening to our children.

00:34:45.000 So, expanding on that, J.D., I see some of these signs out here, which is one of the 20 planks of the new Republican platform, which is no men in women's sports.

00:34:57.000 It says it right there.

00:34:58.000 Right there.

00:35:04.000 J.D., how did we get in a place where now this needs to be a policy position?

00:35:08.000 And if Kamala Harris or Tim Walz took questions, maybe they'd have to answer for this.

00:35:13.000 But they're okay with biological males competing in sports against females.

00:35:18.000 Yeah, which is, first of all, it's so unfair to the girls. 1.00

00:35:21.000 Sometimes they've competed for their entire lives to reach the height of their particular sport.

00:35:26.000 And then they have to, you know, you've seen this in the swimming competitions or in the weightlifting competitions.

00:35:31.000 They go up against a biological male who has advantages that are just so obvious and it's insulting to these girls, but it's also dangerous for the girls.

00:35:40.000 And I, you know, of our three kids, we've got two boys and a girl.

00:35:43.000 I really don't want my two-year-old to step into a competitive physical sport with a biological 1.00

00:35:51.000 male because he might hurt her.

00:35:53.000 And as a father, I believe that the job of fathers is to protect our daughters, not promote

00:35:58.000 the people who are trying to harm them.

00:36:02.000 And again, it just drives home how warped this value system is, right?

00:36:10.000 Americans want very common sense things. 0.59

00:36:12.000 They want their children to be able to afford to buy a home.

00:36:15.000 They want good schools.

00:36:16.000 They want safe streets.

00:36:17.000 They want a closed border.

00:36:18.000 Why are Kamala Harris and Tim Walz focused on forcing biological males to compete against our girls in sports? 0.97

00:36:25.000 It's insane.

00:36:26.000 And it's not just that, Charlie.

00:36:28.000 So this came up in the state of Ohio, and when I first heard it, I didn't believe it.

00:36:32.000 That the Harris administration was threatening local school districts if they didn't go along With all of the gender and transgender craziness, they were going to take away free and reduced school lunch funding. 1.00

00:36:45.000 That was the weapon.

00:36:46.000 That was the weapon that they were using.

00:36:48.000 If you want your free and reduced lunch funding, then you need to do what we want you to do on the transgender stuff. 1.00

00:36:54.000 What kind of a human being would be willing to take food out of the mouths of poor children because the local school district doesn't buy into Kamala Harris's values. 0.89

00:37:04.000 That is really sick, and we don't need to be led by people like that.

00:37:07.000 We need to be led by people who support American values, who, when a local school district says, we don't want Kamala Harris's values in our school district, let's make it easier for them to live their values and easier for them to protect their children, not steal money from poor kids because we want to force something down their throat.

00:37:29.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:37:30.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:37:32.000 We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.

00:37:36.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:37:38.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:37:44.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.

00:37:50.000 Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:37:56.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:37:58.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:38:01.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:38:07.000 And we'll also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:38:11.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:38:13.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:38:16.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:38:19.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:38:22.000 Also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:38:24.000 I'm a donor to this organization.

00:38:26.000 They're terrific.

00:38:27.000 Go to charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:38:31.000 I want to get to some of our audience questions as well.

00:38:33.000 You guys can ask a question on the Turning Point Action app.

00:38:36.000 If you have a question for J.D.

00:38:37.000 Vance, I'll get them right here.

00:38:39.000 Really quick, there was some breaking news earlier today.

00:38:42.000 Big endorsement.

00:38:43.000 Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris.

00:38:47.000 Oh no.

00:38:51.000 It's so interesting, isn't it?

00:38:52.000 That every failed warmonger in the established D.C.

00:38:58.000 Let's just say machine is behind Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:39:02.000 That the peacemakers are behind Trump and Vance.

00:39:06.000 Blessed are the peacemakers is what the scriptures say.

00:39:11.000 Your thoughts, J.D.?

00:39:13.000 Well, maybe the best thing, not the very best thing, but a very good thing that I could say about the next presidency of Donald J. Trump is that he's going to make sure that people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded because this is a person this is a person whose entire career has been about sending other people's children off to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow we were going to turn Afghanistan

00:39:44.000 A country that doesn't even have running water in a lot of places into a thriving liberal democracy and for that Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of your children. 1.00

00:39:54.000 Liz Cheney, you know what?

00:39:56.000 I think it's the best thing in the world that she's supporting Kamala Harris.

00:39:59.000 You are right.

00:40:00.000 Blessed are the peacemakers.

00:40:02.000 Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make very, very interesting partners. 1.00

00:40:05.000 They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die.

00:40:09.000 They get rich when America loses wars instead of winning wars.

00:40:12.000 And they get rich when America gets weaker in the world.

00:40:15.000 We want American strength, American security, and most importantly, peace.

00:40:20.000 Let's bring peace back to the world, and Donald Trump is the candidate to do it.

00:40:26.000 I want to emphasize foreign policy here.

00:40:29.000 We have a question here from John, who's using the Turning Point Action app to ask the question.

00:40:34.000 He says, I am disgusted by the anti-Semitism I'm seeing on campuses.

00:40:40.000 President Trump was the best president in my lifetime for Israel, which I know is a big issue for a lot of us here.

00:40:46.000 I'm disappointed with Kamala Harris embracing the anti-Semitism. 0.98

00:40:50.000 Talk about that, J.D.

00:40:51.000 Vance.

00:40:51.000 That's essentially the question.

00:40:52.000 Yeah, you know, a couple different things.

00:40:53.000 First of all, I'm asked all the time, how do you stop the crazy stuff that's going on in college campuses or sometimes even on America's city streets?

00:41:00.000 It's really simple.

00:41:00.000 Enforce the law, right?

00:41:02.000 I mean, you've got You've got a First Amendment right to say whatever you want, even if I think that it's crazy.

00:41:09.000 You know what you don't have a First Amendment right to do?

00:41:11.000 Is harass your fellow students and prevent them from going to class.

00:41:14.000 You know what you don't have the First Amendment right to do?

00:41:16.000 To set up tent encampments all across America's cities. 0.92

00:41:20.000 Turn them into garbage dumps.

00:41:21.000 Let's tear those things down and get the people in those places back to work. 1.00

00:41:28.000 And you know, one of the things I love about President Trump's Israel policy, about his foreign policy period, Is that he's not just tough, he's smart.

00:41:37.000 And you hear Republicans, we talk a lot about this, rightfully so.

00:41:39.000 Donald Trump was tough.

00:41:41.000 The world feared him.

00:41:42.000 That was definitely true.

00:41:43.000 You know what else Donald Trump was?

00:41:45.000 He was smart.

00:41:46.000 He conducted American diplomacy and he recognized that when America uses diplomacy, we sometimes get a lot more out of it than if we go and just send a bunch of Marines into a place that they shouldn't be to begin with.

00:41:58.000 And let me give you an example.

00:41:59.000 So, the Abraham Accords. 0.95

00:42:01.000 Doesn't get enough credit for it.

00:42:03.000 A huge deal for Israel.

00:42:04.000 A huge deal for the United States of America.

00:42:07.000 Here's what President Trump is saying.

00:42:09.000 Allow Israel to create regional alliances with all the Arab states in that region of the world.

00:42:15.000 They can serve as a counterbalance to Iran. 0.99

00:42:18.000 Peace.

00:42:19.000 Alliances. 1.00

00:42:20.000 Not sending Americans off to fight in a stupid war, but preventing the stupid war from ever happening to begin with. 1.00

00:42:26.000 That's the Donald J. Trump approach. 1.00

00:42:28.000 And man, it worked.

00:42:30.000 So if you want to empower Israel and you want to allow America to focus on China, allow the Israelis to focus on Iran, right? 0.81

00:42:39.000 Let them finish this war. 0.94

00:42:41.000 Let them get it over as quickly as possible. 0.85

00:42:43.000 Destroy Hamas as a fighting force and then they can figure out what to do from there. 0.86

00:42:48.000 America has got to make it easier for our allies to finish this war.

00:42:52.000 Kamala Harris wants to prolong it. 1.00

00:42:53.000 Doesn't make an ounce of sense.

00:42:55.000 I love that.

00:42:56.000 Here's a question from Hayden.

00:42:58.000 With rising costs on everything, daycare is very expensive.

00:43:02.000 We pay $725 a month for it, and that's the lowest we've found in this area.

00:43:07.000 What can we do about lowering the cost of daycare?

00:43:09.000 Hayden, obviously a working family, and it's very hard for working families to get by.

00:43:13.000 How will we lower the cost of daycare?

00:43:15.000 It's such an important question, Charlie.

00:43:17.000 I think one of the things that we can do is make it easier for families to choose whatever model

00:43:21.000 they want, right?

00:43:22.000 So one of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who

00:43:25.000 are paying so much for daycare is make it so that, you know, maybe like grandma or grandpa

00:43:31.000 wants to help out a little bit more.

00:43:33.000 Or maybe there's an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more.

00:43:36.000 If that happens, you relieve some of the pressure on all the resources that were spent in the daycare.

00:43:40.000 Now, you talk about just daycare.

00:43:42.000 Let's say you don't have somebody who can provide that extra set of hands.

00:43:46.000 What we've got to do is actually empower people to get trained in the skills that they need for the 21st century.

00:43:54.000 We've got a lot of people who love kids, who would love to take care of kids, But they can't either because they don't have access to the education that they need or maybe more importantly because the state government says you're not allowed to take care of children unless you have some ridiculous certification that has nothing to do, nothing to do with taking care of kids.

00:44:12.000 So empower people to get the skills they need.

00:44:15.000 Don't force every early child care specialist to go and get a six-year college degree where they've got a whole lot of debt and Americans are much poorer because they're paying out the wazoo for daycare.

00:44:26.000 Empower working families, empower people who want to do these things for a living, and that's what we got to do.

00:44:32.000 All right, we have two more questions here.

00:44:34.000 This one here, I really want to see, this is from Howard, I really want to see Donald Trump and you be successful.

00:44:42.000 What can I do materially in the grassroots to make a difference?

00:44:46.000 It's a great, another great question, and I'll answer it with something that a Senate colleague of mine, another great conservative, would say when he was out campaigning for me.

00:44:54.000 He would say, I want you to go out and I want every single person in this room to vote 10 times.

00:45:03.000 And because it's a Republican audience, people sort of shifted uneasily in their seats.

00:45:07.000 And I mean, we are in Maricopa County though, Charlie.

00:45:10.000 So, but people said, look, look, we don't, we're Republicans.

00:45:17.000 We don't vote 10 times.

00:45:18.000 We just vote once.

00:45:19.000 Well, here's the way that you can vote 10 times legally.

00:45:22.000 You take yourself.

00:45:24.000 Nine of your friends and family and make sure they get to the polls on or before election day.

00:45:28.000 That is the way that Republicans vote ten times.

00:45:34.000 And you said it exactly right.

00:45:36.000 If just the people in this room got five of their friends to go and cast ballots, that would be the winning margin in 2020.

00:45:42.000 We have the ability to do it.

00:45:45.000 But we can't let our foot off the gas.

00:45:46.000 Every single day, encourage people to go vote.

00:45:49.000 Post on social media. 0.97

00:45:50.000 If you see some dishonest crap on social media, correct it. 0.98

00:45:54.000 Push back against it. 0.99

00:45:54.000 That's exactly right. 0.99

00:45:55.000 We're never gonna have the media.

00:45:56.000 We're never gonna have the elites.

00:45:58.000 We're never gonna have the globalists.

00:46:00.000 But we have the power of the people, only if we use it.

00:46:03.000 Yes, and we here at Turning Point Action and Turning Point PAC exist to make it easier for you To make a difference in this election.

00:46:12.000 If you want to go find 100 new voters, if everyone here did commit 100, it is the least you can do.

00:46:18.000 And here in Arizona, it makes a massive, massive major difference.

00:46:22.000 JD, final question here.

00:46:24.000 We got a bunch of questions here.

00:46:25.000 How can all of us be praying for you and supporting you?

00:46:28.000 The grind is on.

00:46:29.000 The spiritual war is on right now.

00:46:32.000 We know you love this country.

00:46:33.000 You've been thrown into this.

00:46:34.000 Just so everyone knows, JD Vance did not know.

00:46:37.000 He was going to be the VP selection, truly, until literally when it happened, right?

00:46:40.000 That's basically right, yeah.

00:46:42.000 Monday afternoon, about an hour before.

00:46:44.000 Yeah, an hour before.

00:46:45.000 The president called me up.

00:46:46.000 I think he's been doing such a great job, and I just want to encourage him, right?

00:46:49.000 such a great job yeah

00:47:02.000 Well, let me...

00:47:04.000 Let me give three answers to that question, Charlie.

00:47:07.000 So first of all, and some of the kind pastors that we met with earlier, thank you guys, and thanks for hosting us in this beautiful church.

00:47:14.000 But they asked me this question, and I'll give a three-part answer just like I gave to them.

00:47:17.000 Number one, the thing I most need is courage and wisdom.

00:47:22.000 Wisdom to know the path and courage to walk the path.

00:47:25.000 So if you can pray for that for me, I would appreciate it.

00:47:27.000 We're out there doing You know, we're trying to do the Lord's work every day.

00:47:32.000 We're trying to persuade people.

00:47:33.000 I need courage and wisdom.

00:47:34.000 That's what I most need.

00:47:35.000 For my wife, I'd ask... This is the second part.

00:47:38.000 For my wife, I'd ask you all just to pray for strength and patience for my wife.

00:47:42.000 She is an unbelievable person.

00:47:43.000 I don't know if you saw her at the RNC.

00:47:46.000 She did a great job. 0.95

00:47:47.000 She's... 1.00

00:47:51.000 I told my team, never make me follow my wife again, because, you know, you want to follow somebody who's worse than you, not better than you, and she just did such a good job, and I was so proud of her.

00:48:00.000 But she needs straight—look, she's not a political person. 1.00

00:48:03.000 She doesn't like politics. 0.99

00:48:04.000 You know, she said before I got involved, she said, well, I think politics, pretty much everybody's a scumbag, and, well, honey, you're right. 0.99

00:48:13.000 All but, like, five people. 0.96

00:48:14.000 But she—I think she's been such a trooper about this, and she's been going out and doing her interviews.

00:48:20.000 Please pray for strength and for courage for my wife.

00:48:25.000 And the final thing is, just pray for my kids that they're as insulated from this as possible, because they're so sweet.

00:48:31.000 I think all of you know, we've all seen kids at different phases, but we have a 70-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 2-year-old.

00:48:41.000 They're such beautiful, happy kids.

00:48:43.000 And I just want them to stay that way.

00:48:45.000 I don't want politics to change who they are.

00:48:47.000 And so just pray that they can be as insulated as possible from this.

00:48:50.000 And most of all, just pray for our country.

00:48:54.000 I mean, one of the things, Charlie, you know, I think that we have to do, or I should say, I have to do a better job at.

00:48:59.000 As the guy running to be your next vice president is, yes, there's a lot that is wrong with our current leadership.

00:49:06.000 The border's wide open.

00:49:07.000 We have a disastrous inflationary set of things going on that make it hard for people to afford a good life.

00:49:13.000 But we still have, and I have learned this Very personally, the last six weeks, flying around the country, driving around the country, we have the best country on the face of the earth.

00:49:22.000 We have... Thank you all.

00:49:41.000 We have the most beautiful country We have the best natural resources.

00:49:45.000 We have the best workers, the best traditions, the best history.

00:49:49.000 The only thing that we need to fix is the broken leadership, and you all can do that.

00:49:54.000 God bless you all.

00:49:55.000 Thank you for everything you're doing.

00:49:56.000 Katie Vance, everybody!
