00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a turning point USA high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 Voting is happening in almost every state across the country, and it's about to happen in many more.
00:01:22.000 We're going to recap Donald Trump's triumphant weekend, an unusual weekend, mind you.
00:01:27.000 He visited Colorado, California.
00:01:31.000 Why would Donald Trump, right before an election, go to Colorado, of all places?
00:01:37.000 Well, Donald Trump this last weekend visited Colorado to launch Project Aurora.
00:01:42.000 I thought it was brilliant.
00:01:44.000 Donald Trump decided to go to a state that is currently being occupied by foreign gangs.
00:01:52.000 Now, one of the lesser reported elements of the 2024 election is not just immigration, but how foreign gangs are occupying our own territory.
00:02:04.000 How foreign gangs have come into our country and they are controlling our apartments, our condominiums.
00:02:11.000 That they are taking over our neighborhoods, that they're dramatically increasing crime.
00:02:17.000 You see, gangs from these other countries know that it is open season here in this country.
00:02:23.000 And that does not even count the influx of legal immigration from Charleroi to Springfield.
00:02:33.000 The example of Aurora, Colorado is remarkable.
00:02:40.000 Donald Trump did a rally in Aurora, Colorado.
00:02:43.000 Which was one of his greatest speeches that I have seen in quite some time.
00:02:49.000 There was no gray area.
00:02:51.000 There was no wobbling.
00:02:53.000 There was no wishy washy.
00:02:54.000 It was direct, it was crisp.
00:02:57.000 Donald Trump said very clearly in Aurora, Colorado We will deport you if you commit a crime.
00:03:03.000 We will deport you if you are here.
00:03:05.000 We're going to find you and you will leave this country.
00:03:08.000 Donald Trump did this entire Western tour as basically a major immigration issue tour from Aurora to Coachella.
00:03:17.000 To Prescott Valley yesterday.
00:03:21.000 You see, Donald Trump going to Aurora, Colorado, and I'm trying to find some of the tape here of his rally, announced the largest deportation effort in American history, but it was even more than that.
00:03:34.000 He announced Project Aurora.
00:03:38.000 And Project Aurora is very simple that we will not allow our country to be occupied by foreign forces.
00:03:51.000 That we will not allow gangs like Trend de Aroga, Aruga, whatever, Aroga, to take over our country.
00:04:03.000 Now, this is from a different rally, but this is from the Prescott one, Play Cut 24.
00:04:07.000 This November, we have a choice to make continue the chaos, allow the criminal cartels to control the border, to allow drugs and fentanyl across our country, or put an end to it once and for all.
00:04:30.000 On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Board of Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.
00:04:51.000 That is the National Border Patrol Council, which represents thousands of border agents that just endorsed Donald Trump.
00:04:58.000 Gangs are in your neighborhood, whether you know it or not.
00:05:04.000 JD Vance has been a hero this election cycle.
00:05:06.000 Every day he rides into combat against the media.
00:05:08.000 Every day he answers more questions and gives more substance to the Trump agenda than Kamala and Tim Walz have done their entire campaign combined.
00:05:18.000 What's great is that Vance, simply by interviewing and debating as much as he does, forces the regime.
00:05:23.000 To lay out real stakes of this race, forces them to expose exactly what is the agenda of the media and the Democrat Party.
00:05:34.000 One of the best examples of this on Sunday is when Vance had a viral showdown with Martha Raditz.
00:05:41.000 Vance brought up the migrant gangs and how they've hijacked entire apartment complexes in Aurora.
00:05:48.000 Raditz's reply well, what's the big deal?
00:05:49.000 It's only a few apartment complexes.
00:05:52.000 Chef Kiss, Michael Anton, who's a professor at Hillsdale College, one of the smartest people out there.
00:05:58.000 We should have Michael Anton on the show more.
00:06:00.000 He's just terrific.
00:06:02.000 And Michael Anton famously wrote a couple summers ago in a piece for the American mind the way that the media operates, and it's perfect.
00:06:10.000 You should frame it.
00:06:11.000 It's not happening, but it's good that it is.
00:06:17.000 That's called a parallax.
00:06:19.000 Wait, wait, what?
00:06:21.000 It's not happening.
00:06:22.000 Oh, there's no gangs taking over apartments, but it's good.
00:06:26.000 That they're in control.
00:06:28.000 Which is it exactly?
00:06:29.000 But then the third one is that it's not happening, but it's good that it is, but it's not even happening that much.
00:06:34.000 But wait, are they taking over territory?
00:06:37.000 And so this is now the new wrinkle of the media.
00:06:39.000 Not new, but they're employing it more.
00:06:42.000 Oh, stop exaggerating.
00:06:43.000 It's only a couple apartment complexes, it's only a couple places.
00:06:47.000 And JD Vance brutalizes Martha Raddarts.
00:06:51.000 Play Cut One.
00:06:52.000 The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes.
00:06:58.000 Apartment complexes, and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns.
00:07:04.000 A handful of problems.
00:07:07.000 Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?
00:07:09.000 Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, and not Kamala Harris's open border.
00:07:18.000 Americans are so fed up with what's going on, and they have every right to be.
00:07:23.000 And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said.
00:07:32.000 Rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.
00:07:40.000 Do you hear that?
00:07:41.000 It's not happening, but it's not happening that much.
00:07:43.000 Our turf, our homeland, is slowly but surely being taken over by the worst, the worst gangs that you can imagine.
00:07:53.000 There's a new story out of New York as well from the New York Post Pay to pray.
00:07:58.000 A brutal gang of baby faced Trende Araga migrant gangbangers at a city funded Manhattan shelter are pulling off armed robberies in Times Square.
00:08:06.000 And they're getting away with it, officials and sources have said.
00:08:09.000 Nearly two dozen young migrant thugs, some as young as 11 years old, are part of a dangerous asylum seeking brat pack that has graduated from purse snatchings to now gunpoint heists targeting New Yorkers and tourists alike.
00:08:23.000 There's a very simple question.
00:08:25.000 If you cannot walk the streets of your great American cities at night, your leaders have failed and they should all be fired.
00:08:33.000 Kamala Harris turned San Francisco.
00:08:37.000 Into a murderous, dangerous open air drug market.
00:08:42.000 She turned California into an outward exodus state that people no longer want to live in, despite it having the greatest weather on the planet.
00:08:51.000 This is happening all over the country.
00:08:56.000 Now, mind you, the Trende Awaga managed to stay out of jail because of their ages and the Empire State's lenient criminal justice laws, and they also get taxpayer funded benefits, luxury hotel rooms, cell phones, and flights to any American city of their choosing.
00:09:12.000 In Scottsdale and Los Angeles, there are gangs of organized burglars from Chile doing devastating home robberies.
00:09:18.000 There's at least been 50 in Scottsdale in the last couple of months.
00:09:21.000 In Maine, the illegal marijuana industry has been taken over by Chinese gangsters.
00:09:26.000 Did you know that tens of thousands of Chinese are among the migrants racing over our border every year?
00:09:31.000 They flew to Mexico just to sneak into America.
00:09:33.000 How many of them are gangbangers or spies or other criminals?
00:09:37.000 All this happens while Kamala's media hand waves saying, oh, it's just Hijacking a few apartment buildings.
00:09:44.000 This is the regime's attitude towards your country.
00:09:47.000 It's okay if foreign gangs take over your town.
00:09:51.000 It's not my town.
00:09:52.000 It's not my neighborhood.
00:09:53.000 I'm too rich for that.
00:09:56.000 The Donald Trump campaign literally is about this most simple moral question imaginable Will we allow America to be a dumping ground to be looted and raped by the rest of the third world?
00:10:13.000 That is the question in front of us.
00:10:15.000 That is the moral question.
00:10:18.000 Will we just allow our country to be open season for the pillaging, for the looting that is happening in front of us?
00:10:28.000 Go and vote and get your friends to do the same.
00:10:33.000 Get your friends to go do the same and find new people to go vote.
00:10:37.000 Right now, turnout is not what it needs to be right now.
00:10:39.000 Turnout is not there yet.
00:10:40.000 Now, it's still a little early.
00:10:41.000 I don't want to jump the gun, but a lot of people have not yet submitted their ballot.
00:10:46.000 A lot of people are still staying at home.
00:10:49.000 So, we got to get our ballots in.
00:10:50.000 We got to get our friends in.
00:10:51.000 We got to get into the arena right now.
00:10:54.000 Donald Trump is beginning to peak at the right time.
00:10:57.000 Our movement is ascendant, and the Kamala campaign is wavering.
00:11:00.000 It's going to be very hard for him to get the momentum back, but we have to stay focused.
00:11:04.000 We can't focus on all this other stuff.
00:11:06.000 There's one thing that matters ballots in the system, in person early voting.
00:11:11.000 It is all about turnout right now, it is driving turnout.
00:11:15.000 Donald Trump wants you to go vote early.
00:11:18.000 Donald Trump said at his rally in Prescott, Arizona, go vote early.
00:11:26.000 Let's go to this right here.
00:11:27.000 You're seeing the coalescing of support among Republican voters.
00:11:31.000 This is NBC News.
00:11:32.000 There was a lot of polling this last weekend, and our show is ahead of the curve.
00:11:36.000 On this program, we told you guys that we're starting to see the damn break in Donald Trump's favor.
00:11:44.000 This election is literally about are we allowed to fight back against invading armed hordes?
00:11:54.000 Let me say that again.
00:11:55.000 This entire election is about are we allowed to fight back against an invading, armed, fighting force and hordes and swarms of people that want to take our stuff, take women, and loot the entire nation?
00:12:12.000 These are landing parties on the United States of America.
00:12:17.000 Donald Trump's campaign is a rejection and a refutation of the third world conquering America.
00:12:25.000 Let's get cut seven here.
00:12:28.000 You're starting to see Republican voters wake up to this play cut seven.
00:12:32.000 You are seeing coalescence amongst Republican voters.
00:12:35.000 And I think that the self identified block of Republicans who are, quote, non MAGA is definitely decreasing.
00:12:43.000 I think there's a few reasons for that.
00:12:44.000 First of all, I do think that there is a recognition amongst the issue that Republicans care most about, which is immigration.
00:12:50.000 I mean, if you look at this poll, every poll that we see, it is immigration.
00:12:54.000 There's a lot of contrast on that issue.
00:12:57.000 And I think Trump has successfully driven contrast on that issue.
00:13:00.000 And those voters are coming home because of immigration.
00:13:03.000 I would also say that there's a positive view.
00:13:05.000 I mean, to your point, About his administration's policies on the other issue they care about, which is cost of living.
00:13:10.000 And so that contrast on issues is quite significant.
00:13:12.000 That is coalescing Republicans.
00:13:14.000 And I think that is the single reason why his numbers have improved significantly over these last several weeks.
00:13:20.000 Look, this is not the time to start celebrating.
00:13:22.000 It's the time to go vote, unify, and chase ballots.
00:13:25.000 Let me tell you what we're doing this weekend.
00:13:26.000 Tomorrow, I'm in Flagstaff.
00:13:28.000 Wednesday, I'm in Tucson with Tulsi Gabbard for an open mic on campus and also an evening event.
00:13:34.000 Thursday, Donald Trump Jr., Arizona State University, open mic event on campus.
00:13:39.000 Friday, I'm in Colorado, not because I think we can win Colorado, but because I'm going to be on Andrew Wilmec's program with an address to Christian America.
00:13:47.000 That's why I'm going there, blowing it up, TV stations across the country, because right now, Christians are not voting in big numbers.
00:13:53.000 Christians couldn't care less about this election versus other elections.
00:13:56.000 They're just kind of sitting on their hands, hoping things get better.
00:13:59.000 Next week, we have our week in Georgia.
00:14:01.000 We'll be at Georgia State University with Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:14:04.000 We have an event at UNC Chapel Hill.
00:14:07.000 Tuesday, we have our event at the University of Georgia.
00:14:09.000 And then Wednesday, we're hosting President Donald Trump in Duluth, Georgia.
00:14:13.000 And then Thursday, hosting President Donald Trump in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:14:20.000 We have something every hour on the hour from now to the election.
00:14:23.000 All I'm asking for you guys to do is to send me a birthday gift and just go vote.
00:14:27.000 That's all I want you to do.
00:14:29.000 Go vote.
00:14:29.000 Go vote in person.
00:14:31.000 Go submit your ballot.
00:14:32.000 And maybe you've already voted.
00:14:34.000 Go get your friend to do the same.
00:14:36.000 We will win or lose based on the work that we do from now to the election.
00:14:39.000 22 days.
00:14:41.000 I will stop bothering you in 23 days from now.
00:14:43.000 You guys can get back to just sitting at home and doing whatever you do.
00:14:48.000 This is the time for action, action, action.
00:14:51.000 Donald Trump wants you to go vote right now.
00:14:53.000 Play Cut 27.
00:14:55.000 Early voting by mail and in person opened in Arizona earlier this week.
00:14:59.000 So if you have a ballot, return it immediately.
00:15:02.000 And if not, go vote.
00:15:04.000 Get your you know what app and vote.
00:15:09.000 The minute the polls open tomorrow, you'll be there.
00:15:12.000 And get everyone you know because we want to take back our country.
00:15:15.000 We're going to take back our country.
00:15:18.000 Voting early in person is one of the most secure ways that you guys can bank your vote so that a terrorist attack, a hurricane, a snowstorm, COVID, or a flat tire cannot get in your way, that they cannot sabotage.
00:15:34.000 This election, we know the stakes of it.
00:15:36.000 And right now, we need to rev up the turnout machine.
00:15:39.000 And that starts every one of you finding one more person, finding two more people.
00:15:46.000 Microplastics are becoming too much of a problem to ignore.
00:15:50.000 They're in 94% of US drinking water, 94%, 90% of our meat and seafood, and the average American inhales, get this, 68,000 microplastic particles each and every single day.
00:16:04.000 The EPA recently decided not to include microplastics in the next nationwide drinking water monitoring program, meaning we likely won't have updated data for years.
00:16:14.000 Even as microplastic exposure continues to rise, Scientists have already found microplastics in our blood, our arteries, and even our brains.
00:16:23.000 The good news is that new research suggests there are ways to help your body fight back.
00:16:28.000 Certain probiotic strains found in kimchi have demonstrated the ability to not only remove toxins like BPA, new research is also exploring how these same beneficial bacteria help bind and excrete microplastics before they can do further damage to your body.
00:16:45.000 Kimchi is one of the world's most powerful superfoods, but its strong taste and smell can make daily use, daily intake, a challenge.
00:16:52.000 I know it is for me.
00:16:53.000 Kimchi One gives you all the benefits of fermented kimchi in an easy to take capsule without the mess or hassle.
00:17:00.000 Each capsule delivers over 900 probiotic strains, live enzymes, and antioxidants that help restore and balance your gut.
00:17:09.000 People are seeing improvements in digestion, bloating, regularity, energy, and metabolism.
00:17:14.000 Studies show that kimchi can even reduce the risk of obesity by 31.8%.

00:17:47.000 Joining us now is the political director of the Trump campaign, James Blair.
00:17:51.000 They're doing a great job over there.
00:17:52.000 James, welcome to the program.
00:17:53.000 James, give us an update of how you guys would judge the state of the race as it is today.
00:17:59.000 Things are really good right now.
00:18:00.000 Everything is pointing in the same direction, whether you look at the national polls, the public polls that have come out at the national level or the state by state level, everything shows increased momentum for President Trump.
00:18:13.000 We're ahead in most battleground states on the RCP average, which has never been the case before at this point in the election.
00:18:19.000 We continue, as we've talked about before, Charlie, to pull way ahead of where President Trump ever has in the public polls.
00:18:25.000 And of course, internally, we released some internals last week showing us up in every swing state.
00:18:30.000 So, everything looks really good right now across the board.
00:18:32.000 Yeah.
00:18:32.000 So, summarize this last weekend.
00:18:34.000 It was remarkable.
00:18:35.000 President Trump in Aurora, President Trump in Coachella, then President Trump in Prescott.
00:18:40.000 Kind of an immigration border focused tour.
00:18:43.000 Tell our audience about it.
00:18:44.000 Yeah.
00:18:44.000 You know, there's been a lot of questions the national media has been asking.
00:18:47.000 Well, where are you going to these other states?
00:18:48.000 And the fact is, these high impact settings like Aurora, Colorado, like California, they really make the media and the country focus on the problems that the Biden Harris administration have created and really.
00:19:01.000 Keep the media from being able to look away and not articulate the problems, but also the solutions that President Trump is offering.
00:19:07.000 So, obviously, we all know the stories of the Venezuelan gangs in Colorado.
00:19:13.000 And in California, if you look at the headlines, they're all running headlines where President Trump talked about California being a paradise lost, a great state in our country that has been terribly mismanaged because of extreme liberal policies that Kamala Harris and others have put into place.
00:19:26.000 And he said very clearly, we're not going to let her do to our country what she's done to San Francisco.
00:19:32.000 Going to those big high impact settings really crystallizes and draws them to focus the issues that we're talking about and makes it clear that those issues, it shows where those issues lead because they're just a little bit ahead of other parts of the country on the extreme liberal spectrum.
00:19:46.000 Obviously, in Arizona, huge impact of immigration there, rolled out the endorsement of the Border Patrol Union, the largest union that the Border Patrol is a part of.
00:19:56.000 And then obviously, President Trump rolled out some new policies, doing retention bonuses for every Border Patrol agent and calling for many more to be hired.
00:20:04.000 Immediately when he comes into office.
00:20:06.000 So it's been a great weekend.
00:20:07.000 We are continuing to prosecute our case against Kamala Harris, whether that's open borders, failed economy, standing in the world.
00:20:14.000 And it is very clear from the polling and sort of what you hear and see on the ground that that message is really resonating with voters and especially those critical remaining few undecideds that are yet to make up their mind in these final stages.
00:20:28.000 And that is an increasingly smaller universe than prior elections, right, James?
00:20:32.000 Can you talk about that?
00:20:33.000 This is more of a turnout election than persuasion in these last moments.
00:20:38.000 Yeah.
00:20:38.000 At the end of the day, you know, when you get down to the end, it really comes out to turning on your voters.
00:20:42.000 But, you know, the undecideds did start a little higher, frankly, than they were in 16 or 20.
00:20:47.000 And we've seen those people collapse towards President Trump's and the shrinking universe.
00:20:51.000 The underlying numbers look like they're prepared to break for President Trump as well.
00:20:55.000 But at the end of the day, everything starts with turnout.
00:20:57.000 We have to turn out our voters.
00:20:59.000 We have to maximize our base.
00:21:01.000 So any of those swing voters that come our way are just gravy on top.
00:21:04.000 Fortunately, the party has expanded tremendously since 2020.
00:21:08.000 We've talked about this before, Charlie, but the voter registration trends are incredible.
00:21:11.000 Whether you look at states like Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, all of these voting electorates have shifted three to five percent.
00:21:19.000 Points to the right in terms of the eligible registered electorate since 2020.
00:21:24.000 And obviously, we know how close those final reported margins were in each of those states.
00:21:29.000 But something that's really important that I want to point out is that a lot of the polling that you see now, a lot of the public pollsters get it wrong and they skew it so far left anyway.
00:21:38.000 But what they generally try to do is set the turnout sample.
00:21:42.000 So, sort of who they think the electorate is going to be in terms of percentage of Republicans versus Democrats versus others, they tend to kind of peg it towards 2020.
00:21:53.000 And so we're polling so far ahead when looking at the electorate as if it was the 2020 electorate.
00:21:59.000 But the fact is, the electorate has shifted three to five points to the right in all of these places.
00:22:04.000 So there's a good argument to be made that President Trump's support is always underrepresented in the public polls.
00:22:10.000 We know that in the averages, he's always outperformed them by anywhere from half a point to two and a half points, give or take, depending on what state you're talking about.
00:22:17.000 But even so, when you're looking at it in the frame of 2020, it's quite possible that the situation is.
00:22:24.000 A good bit stronger for President Trump because of that move to the right and the growth of Republican voter registration across the country.
00:22:30.000 Yeah, and that is only correct if we turn out and that if we get big numbers.
00:22:36.000 And that's why I was so thrilled to see President Trump yesterday tell everyone in Arizona, get your ballot in.
00:22:42.000 Now, mind you, James, I don't even have my ballot yet.
00:22:44.000 They got up.
00:22:45.000 It's a mess.
00:22:45.000 And by the way, we're getting thousands of emails of people that don't yet have ballots in Arizona.
00:22:50.000 It's wonderful elections we're running here.
00:22:51.000 However, once you get your ballot, get it in the system or vote early and in person.
00:22:57.000 And so, the question some people have, James, and it's a question really of what we can do about it.
00:23:03.000 Do you see evidence that that shy, hidden Trump voter exists the third time around?
00:23:08.000 And you kind of talk about this that the polling might not capture it.
00:23:12.000 The low propensity voter, the first time voter, the person that didn't vote in 2020?
00:23:16.000 Yeah, that's the name of the game, Charlie.
00:23:18.000 You hit the nail on the head.
00:23:20.000 Obviously, like I said, we know that there's sort of the shy Trump voter, or the polling misses some Trump voters because we always overperform what they think.
00:23:29.000 But the real name of the game for us is all those new registrants, all those people that haven't voted before or maybe have, but not in several years, the more infrequent voters.
00:23:38.000 Those people are who we've really got to focus on turning out.
00:23:41.000 And obviously, everyone needs to turn out.
00:23:42.000 So if you're somebody that votes in every election, return your ballot right now, please.
00:23:46.000 And if I could make a tactical appeal to the audience, Charlie, the sooner you vote, we get updates every day from each of the states on who's already cast their ballot.
00:23:55.000 Obviously, we don't know how you voted, but we know whether or not you voted.
00:23:58.000 But when we take those lists back, we can then mark you off the list.
00:24:01.000 We take you out.
00:24:02.000 So then everything we have left from our paid communications to our field organizing to our door knocking can focus all of our resources on just the remaining voters.
00:24:11.000 So, it actually helps us tactically and helps us be more efficient the sooner you vote.
00:24:16.000 So, please go and vote immediately so that we can really just be focused on those people that are newer or haven't done it before and really need some extra help to figure out what their voting options are and for us to help them have what they need and the information they need to go to the polls.
00:24:31.000 So, please get it done early.
00:24:32.000 It's a huge help, lets us be more efficient and ultimately will result in us being able to turn out more voters that way.
00:24:37.000 That is exactly right.
00:24:38.000 And I'll tell you, when we're chasing on the ground here in Arizona, once we can cross you off the list, we can stop harassing you, right?
00:24:43.000 We could stop texting you, stop knocking.
00:24:45.000 And it helps us so much on an efficiency of resources standpoint, everybody.
00:24:49.000 And understand, and James, you did this in Florida.
00:24:52.000 In person early voting is a great option that you guys can go in person and have that election day experience right now in Arizona.
00:24:59.000 We have dozens of in person early voting locations and soon to be very more every day more and more open up.
00:25:05.000 Can you talk about in person early voting as well for some people in the audience that might not be on the early voting list?
00:25:11.000 So they might not be getting a ballot, which is a small portion, about one in 10 voters, but also they might not feel great about throwing it in the mail.
00:25:17.000 Talk about in person early voting.
00:25:18.000 Yeah, if you don't want to vote by mail, that's okay.
00:25:21.000 The fact is, every battleground state has some way to vote in person before Election Day.
00:25:26.000 It varies a little bit state by state, but pretty much everywhere has a significant period of time where you can go cast your ballot in person.
00:25:34.000 Obviously, we're talking about Arizona.
00:25:37.000 Look, we all know from the 2022 general elections that some machines went down and long lines formed while they got them back up in Maricopa County on Election Day in 2022.
00:25:47.000 Avoiding The unforeseen issues like that, avoiding bad weather, long lines, all of those things.
00:25:54.000 The way to do that is to cast your ballot in person.
00:25:57.000 We're going to secure those ballots.
00:25:59.000 We have poll watching going on already.
00:26:00.000 We've got tens of thousands of poll watching shifts scheduled all across the country in every battleground state.
00:26:05.000 We're doing poll watching throughout the whole early voting process.
00:26:08.000 We've got poll workers that have been hired by the system that we've submitted, that we recruited, vetted, trained, and submitted to the states to help with the internal process that, you know, sort of the election supervisors run.
00:26:20.000 So it's safe, it's secure.
00:26:22.000 It helps us tremendously.
00:26:25.000 And again, you want to avoid anything that could come up or go wrong on election day that could make it harder or take more time to go vote.
00:26:34.000 So, in person early voting is a great option.
00:26:36.000 We really encourage people to do it.
00:26:37.000 And again, it's available in every state.
00:26:39.000 And you can go to Swamp the Vote USA, look up your voting information, swampthevoteusa.com, and it will give you the options that are available in your state.
00:26:48.000 Swampthevoteusa.com.
00:26:50.000 And, guys, look, there could be a hurricane, there could be a snowstorm, God forbid, a terrorist attack.
00:26:54.000 There could be all sorts of disruptions.
00:26:55.000 Your kid could get sick.
00:26:56.000 You could get COVID, flat tire.
00:26:58.000 Go vote early and then get your friend to do the same.
00:27:01.000 So, James, you never know what messaging is really going to hit in a campaign.
00:27:04.000 You know, you throw out all this messaging, and I'm not alone in this.
00:27:09.000 The running of this particular advertisement seems to really be hitting.
00:27:13.000 Joe Scarborough agrees, Charlemagne agrees that highlighting that Kamala Harris made it a priority so that illegal aliens could get taxpayer funded transgender surgeries, and then she bragged about it.
00:27:26.000 Has just really hit the zeitgeist here.
00:27:29.000 I have at least five voters that I know that were like, did she really do that?
00:27:33.000 And it almost, it really is a micro example of a macro trend of, oh, she's super woke and I'm not comfortable with that.
00:27:40.000 Let's play Cut 13, an excellent ad from the Trump campaign.
00:27:44.000 He murdered a father of three, sentenced to life in prison.
00:27:47.000 Kamala Harris pushed to use tax dollars to pay for his sex change.
00:27:51.000 I made sure that they changed the policy so that every transgender inmate would have access.
00:27:57.000 It sounds insane because it is insane.
00:28:00.000 Kamala was the first to help pay for a prisoner's sex change.
00:28:03.000 The power that I had, I used it in a way that was about pushing for the movement, frankly, and the agenda.
00:28:08.000 Kamala's agenda is they, them, not you.
00:28:11.000 I'm Donald J. Trump, and I approve this message.
00:28:14.000 I mean, that is really good stuff.
00:28:15.000 Talk about this narrative, and it's an accurate one that Kamala Harris is not for you.
00:28:20.000 She is for some sort of abstract radical agenda.
00:28:24.000 Absolutely.
00:28:25.000 I mean, look, it's very straightforward.
00:28:26.000 What that ad does, it paints a very crystal clear picture in her own words of what her priorities are.
00:28:34.000 Her priorities are the extreme liberal, way out of step with the mainstream of this country agenda.
00:28:40.000 And it takes it a step further because it shows you know, we have all these people in this country that are hurting economically.
00:28:47.000 Even if they have jobs, even if they're making a lot of money, prices are way, way outstripping real wage growth and have under their entire administration.
00:28:55.000 Savings have gone down 75% to lower than pre pandemic levels.
00:29:00.000 Credit card debt is through the roof.
00:29:02.000 People are hurting economically.
00:29:04.000 And this politician is more interested in using taxpayer money, which all of us pay for, to fund transgender surgeries for inmates.
00:29:13.000 I mean, talk about.
00:29:14.000 For one, you know, it's a social agenda that, of course, we do not agree with.
00:29:19.000 But more importantly, it's a misuse of taxpayer resources, particularly in the face of people who are hurting.
00:29:26.000 They need help.
00:29:27.000 It just makes it very clear all of their extreme ideological far left liberal pet issues are far more important than delivering value and results for the vast, vast majority of this country.
00:29:39.000 And that's what that ad, I think, makes crystal clear for people.
00:29:41.000 And it shows it in her own words so that she can't hide from it.
00:29:44.000 James, I'd love to keep you for like two more minutes just to make the final pitch for early voting if we can.
00:29:48.000 But I want to read this email really quick.
00:29:50.000 Charlie, I live in Lake Havasu in Mojave County.
00:29:52.000 I waited one hour in line to vote early.
00:29:54.000 Every single one was a Trump supporter.
00:29:56.000 Big Republican area, the booth set up with all info.
00:30:00.000 This has never happened before.
00:30:00.000 It's a great sign, James.
00:30:01.000 Our voters are showing up already in huge numbers and voting early.
00:30:07.000 October 15th.
00:30:09.000 Write it down, set an alarm, because the second that date passes, there's no extension, no grace period, no second chance.
00:30:16.000 Liens, wage garnishments, bank account seizures.
00:30:20.000 That's the IRS taking what you've earned.
00:30:23.000 If you've filed an extension and haven't submitted your return yet, stop what you're doing and call America Tax Group, the nation's leading tax firm, right now.
00:30:31.000 And do so at 888 381 3816.
00:30:35.000 Mention the code KERC26 when you call for $250 off.
00:30:40.000 Miss this deadline and failure to file penalties are assessed immediately with interest compounding daily, growing your debt every single hour.
00:30:48.000 Every hour past October 15th hands the IRS more power over your life.
00:30:53.000 So, if you owe back taxes or haven't filed, understand this.
00:30:56.000 It's not a matter of if the IRS will act, it's when.
00:30:59.000 And that clock is ticking.
00:31:01.000 Dealing with the IRS without professional help is extremely risky.
00:31:04.000 So, don't do it.
00:31:05.000 Not with days left on the clock.
00:31:07.000 So, protect your financial security with guidance from America Tax Group.
00:31:11.000 Call the firm I trust right now before October 15th, 888 381 3816.
00:31:18.000 Mention the code KERC26 when you call for $250 off.
00:31:21.000 All right, James, one minute remaining.
00:31:26.000 Remind people the importance of them also getting friends out to vote and what that force multiplier strategy can mean.
00:31:32.000 Absolutely.
00:31:34.000 Again, I'll make a pitch again.
00:31:35.000 Please vote early.
00:31:37.000 If you're getting a mail ballot, return it the same day or the next day.
00:31:40.000 You can go online in every state.
00:31:43.000 You can go to your supervisor of elections website, and they all have a way to track your ballot where it is through the mail system, whether it's coming to you or being returned.
00:31:51.000 Track it every step of the way, but ultimately return it immediately.
00:31:55.000 Look, in all of the states, and as some people don't have ballots yet, in all of the states, there's a window.
00:31:59.000 By which the counties have to send out their ballots, but it's iterative.
00:32:02.000 So some counties will send them before others.
00:32:05.000 But again, it's very important that you return your ballot immediately.
00:32:08.000 It lets us take you off the list and focus on just those people that are outstanding.
00:32:12.000 And then, in terms of getting your friends and family out to vote, look, anything you can do, if everybody gets one other person to show up, there's no chance we can lose.
00:32:20.000 That is just the truth.
00:32:21.000 You've got to get those Trump supporters out to the polls, particularly if you've got younger folks, if you've got a niece or nephew, a little brother that hasn't voted before, but they're a Trump supporter, get them to the polls.
00:32:32.000 I'm doing it with my nephew.
00:32:33.000 He's going to cast his vote at early voting for the first time.
00:32:36.000 James, great work.
00:32:37.000 Talk to you soon.
00:32:37.000 Thanks so much.
00:32:38.000 Go vote right now.
00:32:39.000 Look, Arizona is hot as a pistol right now for Donald Trump, but we have to chase, chase, chase.
00:32:43.000 Let me tell you the power of Turning Point, the power of our ballot chasers.
00:32:48.000 And right now, I'm not going to tell you the number, but I'm just going to say hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of full time ballot chasers right now on the ground chasing ballots right now.
00:32:58.000 Morning, Charlie.
00:32:59.000 We finally got our ballots today, and we'll be filling them out today.
00:33:02.000 We don't want Turning Point knocking on our door.
00:33:05.000 However, he was an extremely nice man.
00:33:08.000 Thanks so much.
00:33:09.000 A patriot in Payson.
00:33:11.000 So, we knocked on their door.
00:33:13.000 They're a lower propensity voter based on our data.
00:33:16.000 And then that registered into memory.
00:33:18.000 Okay, I get the ballot, boom, right in the system, cross them off the list.
00:33:22.000 So, just so you guys understand, for those of us that are trying to get Donald Trump elected and it's our obsession, when you vote early, it makes our job so much easier.
00:33:30.000 It allows us to shrink our universe so that I don't have to vote, you know, knock on Sally Sue Marie's door or Dave Smith's door.
00:33:37.000 I can focus on just Anne and Karen, Jack and.
00:33:43.000 Mark.
00:33:44.000 So when the list shrinks, I can then dedicate more resources to the people that have not yet voted.
00:33:50.000 That have not yet voted.
00:33:52.000 Charlie, Sharon, and Rob here from Gold Canyon, Arizona.
00:33:55.000 We went there last week, the new Pinal County office in Florence, Arizona.
00:34:00.000 When they opened early voting, which is a hop, skip, and jump from Gold Canyon, no one in line to vote, meaning no wait.
00:34:05.000 We were prepared with our ballots.
00:34:07.000 So 15 minutes in and out of there.
00:34:08.000 Beautiful drive out in the desert.
00:34:10.000 God bless.
00:34:11.000 Sharon, that is exactly right.
00:34:13.000 It allows us to be more efficient to use the scarce resources we already have.
00:34:19.000 Let's play Cut 11.
00:34:20.000 This is an Arizona voter saying, I live on the border in Yuma, Arizona, and I know in the last three and a half years we've had horrible, horrible problems in Yuma.
00:34:28.000 Listen carefully.
00:34:29.000 We are being invaded, and America has become a dumping ground for the third world.
00:34:33.000 Play Cut 11.
00:34:35.000 Well, my decision is I live right on the border in Yuma, Arizona, and I know in the last three and a half years we have had.
00:34:44.000 Just horrible, horrible problems in Yuma with a lot of illegal immigration coming through.
00:34:53.000 Our economy is awful.
00:34:55.000 Yuma's unemployment is 16%.
00:34:58.000 So the economy is a big factor as well.
00:35:02.000 Just a combination of things.
00:35:05.000 Our groceries have gone up.
00:35:09.000 Just everything has just really gone downhill in the last three and a half years for us in Yuma and Arizona completely.
00:35:18.000 That's on CBS, by the way.
00:35:19.000 CBS Face the Nation.
00:35:22.000 Republicans are now in front of Democrats on the generic ballot.
00:35:27.000 This country is becoming profoundly more conservative.
00:35:30.000 The work that we are doing, the viral videos, the on campus advocacy, the country is becoming center right.
00:35:36.000 And the Democrats are seeing it in the data and they're becoming terrified.
00:35:40.000 Play Cut 12.
00:35:41.000 All right.
00:35:42.000 So, party ID nationally.
00:35:44.000 You go to October, November of 2016, Democrats had a three point advantage.
00:35:47.000 You go four years ago.
00:35:49.000 Democrats had a six point advantage.
00:35:50.000 Look at where we are today, Manu.
00:35:52.000 Republicans with a one point advantage.
00:35:55.000 A very different picture, very much mirroring what we see in the party registration numbers in those key ballot bound states and Pennsylvania in particular.
00:36:03.000 And you know, the GOP leads by a point in party identification right now.
00:36:06.000 The average when the Republican Party loses is the Democrats ahead by eight.
00:36:10.000 When the Republican Party wins, the average party ID advantage for Democrats is three.
00:36:14.000 Republicans right now, Manu, are doing even better than the average when they win.
00:36:18.000 If there's one little nugget that I think Republicans are really helpful for, it's this party ID and this party registration data.
00:36:24.000 It really points in a good direction for them and for Donald Trump.
00:36:27.000 We have to go chase the vote.
00:36:28.000 We have to chase every single vote possible.
00:36:33.000 And that's where you guys come in.
00:36:34.000 Find one person and get them out to vote and vote early.
00:36:39.000 Vote early.
