00:01:23.000 Okay, everybody.

00:01:24.000 So I've been telling you guys you have to find a new voter.

00:01:27.000 Someone who has never voted before.

00:01:29.000 You've got to find someone who's never voted before and get them to go vote and vote for Donald Trump.

00:01:34.000 Well, I found one.

00:01:37.000 And she's here with us now.

00:01:38.000 I'm giving you a hard time, Danica.

00:01:39.000 Danica Patrick, who is a legend and a great American patriot and a lover of liberty.

00:01:43.000 Is that fair to say?

00:01:44.000 Amen.

00:01:45.000 Amen.

00:01:46.000 So Danica, you've told this story before and I want to kind of spend time on it, but this is your first election ever voting.

00:01:53.000 Yes, it is.

00:01:54.000 You know, I didn't grow up being super interested in politics.

00:01:58.000 I've raised since I was 10 years old.

00:02:01.000 And I just didn't develop a passion.

00:02:03.000 But the one thing that happens once I get interested in something is that it becomes somewhat of an obsession to the point where I think it was my sister who pointed it out to me.

00:02:13.000 She said, from the outside, it looks like you believe in something.

00:02:16.000 But you're really investigating.

00:02:18.000 And you're really discovering it all so you know what to think about it all.

00:02:22.000 And I might remove myself.

00:02:23.000 I might stay completely in.

00:02:25.000 But that's where I'm at.

00:02:27.000 And I can't see a way out right now because I now understand...

00:02:32.000 That change is really possible.

00:02:34.000 I guess that's probably the skeptic in me, wondered how much of a difference someone could really make, because it's such a big ship to turn.

00:02:41.000 In my experience in racing and big companies, decisions take a long time, and I'm like, there's no bigger one than the country.

00:02:48.000 But now I can see this pathway and I can see how beliefs and passions can really translate to real things.

00:02:57.000 And Danica, I want to talk more about the story and all that, but just to reiterate, you voted and voted for Trump.

00:03:02.000 I did, absolutely.

00:03:03.000 And a friend of yours helped you through the process, right?

00:03:07.000 So my friend Stephanie Halverson, she went to the event here in town that Trump was at and the RFK was announced.

00:03:15.000 Supporting him and I was so jealous that I couldn't make it.

00:03:19.000 But you spoke that night and she was so impressed and so taken by your advice to bring 10 people to go vote.

00:03:28.000 It's so comforting to hear people actually receive it.

00:03:33.000 The ripple effect goes further, let me tell you.

00:03:35.000 So she was the one who walked me through the process to make sure I was registered to vote.

00:03:41.000 Again, this was all brand new to me, to go take me to vote, to help me with the ballot, help me with recommendations.

00:03:48.000 And I could look at what all the different bills were and what all the different politicians believed.

00:03:54.000 And then, of course, there's a Democratic cheat sheet and a Republican cheat sheet.

00:03:58.000 But she took me through that whole process.

00:04:00.000 So not long after she told me about this, I went and moderated for Bobby and Tulsi in Las Vegas.

00:04:06.000 This was probably like six, eight weeks ago.

00:04:09.000 And when I was chatting with Tulsi before we went on as she was getting all done up and ready, I told her about this exact scenario.

00:04:16.000 I was like, you know, and I wanted to ask about voter fraud and that whole scenario.

00:04:20.000 So I said that my friend Stephanie was so taken by this bring 10 people.

00:04:23.000 And that night she told the audience, and I don't know if she had said it before, But she told the audience, bring 10 people to go vote.

00:04:30.000 And I've heard her say it since.

00:04:32.000 She might have even... 1.00

00:04:33.000 I don't know if she said it at MSG yesterday, but she's said it again since.

00:04:37.000 And so, again, maybe it even traveled further to Tulsi as well.

00:04:41.000 I think that people need tangible ways to make a difference because it's very hard to change someone's mind that believes in something.

00:04:51.000 And so the question is, how do you make the difference?

00:04:55.000 And so I, on X the other day, was like, these are the easy, hard, and hardest ways to get people to vote.

00:05:00.000 Go bring some friends.

00:05:01.000 And she did exactly that.

00:05:03.000 So thank you very much for offering tangible ways for people to make a difference.

00:05:07.000 Well, and so everybody, look, and Danica's a true patriot.

00:05:10.000 And not only that, you did a town hall with the president recently, didn't you?

00:05:13.000 I went and spoke in Las Vegas on Thursday night before I flew to Mexico City for the F1 race.

00:05:19.000 It was my first time.

00:05:20.000 So wait, do you race F1? I don't race F1. I do announcing, so...

00:05:23.000 Okay, so what's the difference between an F1 and a traditional?

00:05:26.000 Is it a technical?

00:05:28.000 They're different cars.

00:05:28.000 I know nothing.

00:05:29.000 They're just different cars.

00:05:30.000 Isn't F1 in Vegas on the 20th?

00:05:32.000 That's correct.

00:05:33.000 I'll be there too.

00:05:33.000 So is F1 always through the streets of the city?

00:05:35.000 Is that right?

00:05:36.000 There's all road courses, which means they go left and right.

00:05:36.000 Nope.

00:05:39.000 But there's some street courses, some sort of adapted courses, and some permanent circuits, the ones that are always there that never leave.

00:05:46.000 But the Vegas one, they go through the streets.

00:05:48.000 Correct.

00:05:48.000 So that's a street circuit.

00:05:49.000 And then the other one's in Monaco or something?

00:05:51.000 Yep, that's a street circuit as well.

00:05:52.000 And then Miami, they also have a...

00:05:53.000 You know more than you are letting on.

00:05:55.000 I know nothing.

00:05:55.000 No, I know nothing.

00:05:56.000 Yes, you are.

00:05:56.000 I know nothing about the technical thing.

00:05:58.000 I asked an Uber driver, and I remember what he told me.

00:06:00.000 I was in Vegas with a rally.

00:06:02.000 I said, what the heck is all this scaffolding?

00:06:03.000 What is all this?

00:06:04.000 It stays up all year, too.

00:06:05.000 I know.

00:06:05.000 And he says, oh, well, because we have a 10-year contract, the F1 goes through the streets.

00:06:09.000 That's right.

00:06:10.000 I said, well, that can't be good for traffic.

00:06:12.000 It's terrible.

00:06:13.000 But it's good for Uber drivers because they surge pricing.

00:06:15.000 Well, they definitely charge a fortune, but it makes it impossible to get around.

00:06:19.000 Oh, it's awful.

00:06:20.000 Oh, it's awful.

00:06:21.000 And there is no, like, I mean, not that I would want it.

00:06:23.000 There's no subway or anything in Vegas.

00:06:25.000 I mean, you are just stranded.

00:06:26.000 There's like a rail system now, maybe on the other side of the street.

00:06:29.000 Yeah, no, there's one that goes from the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor to the Excalibur.

00:06:33.000 I can't imagine Vegas is your town.

00:06:35.000 It's not my turn.

00:06:36.000 No, it's funny.

00:06:37.000 I spent a lot of time in Vegas.

00:06:38.000 I like Summerlin.

00:06:40.000 Where's that?

00:06:41.000 It's West Red Rock.

00:06:42.000 It's like Scottsdale of Vegas.

00:06:44.000 Okay, I was going to say it's like a desert oasis.

00:06:46.000 Yeah, I'm not exactly the Vegas vibe person.

00:06:49.000 Yeah, I'm not either, but the food is really good there.

00:06:51.000 Totally agree.

00:06:52.000 And even if you don't drink like I do, you can still have fun in Vegas.

00:06:56.000 I mean, there's a lot of great people and all that.

00:06:59.000 Okay, so enough about Vegas.

00:07:00.000 So you cast your vote. 0.98

00:07:02.000 I'm going to ask you a silly question.

00:07:03.000 How did it feel?

00:07:05.000 I was excited.

00:07:06.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:07:07.000 Planning this with my friend Steph, I was like, I'm excited to do this.

00:07:11.000 So she came over.

00:07:12.000 We got talking about things.

00:07:14.000 We're filling it out.

00:07:15.000 There's a lot of bubbles to fill out.

00:07:17.000 And then all of a sudden, it's 4.45.

00:07:20.000 And she goes, we need to go.

00:07:21.000 It closes at 5.

00:07:23.000 But anyway, throughout the whole process, we just got talking about so many things.

00:07:27.000 And I don't know.

00:07:28.000 To be honest, I was excited.

00:07:29.000 We took pictures on the way in.

00:07:31.000 There's like a certain point in time that you can't take any photos past.

00:07:34.000 And so we followed all those rules.

00:07:37.000 But everybody was so nice inside, too.

00:07:40.000 And we went even inside.

00:07:42.000 And my friend Steph had a couple questions because when we looked at our ballots...

00:07:46.000 The order of the options were not the same on both of our ballots, which we found to be really interesting.

00:07:52.000 Do you live in the same area?

00:07:53.000 We live close, but I don't think that they're given the same sort of account.

00:07:57.000 Yeah, because it depends on what part—some of the propositions are for Scottsdale only.

00:08:02.000 You guys, you both live in— We live super close, yeah, but they were different orders, and so they answered all the questions that had to do with that, and if, like, let's say her family had multiple ballots, and so if she put it in the wrong envelope, was that okay if it accidentally was a ballot, but the different envelopes?

00:08:18.000 She said, you know, they were, like, helpful with that explanation, that it didn't matter, that it was just the ballot was separate, but, you know, the envelope is, you know...

00:08:25.000 So anyway, they were very, very helpful, very nice.

00:08:28.000 I got my Voted sticker for the first time, and it felt really cool.

00:08:32.000 I felt really good.

00:08:33.000 So Danica is what we call a zero out of four voter. 1.00

00:08:36.000 Meaning, so we judge people on how many of the last election cycles you voted in, and it's been zero.

00:08:41.000 It's been zero.

00:08:41.000 And this is how we are going to win everybody.

00:08:43.000 People like Danica that get into the system. 1.00

00:08:46.000 And I imagine, and we'll talk about this, the Bobby Kennedy thing really gave you more comfort with the whole Trump thing.

00:08:54.000 Well, I very much am into the Maha aspect of the election.

00:08:58.000 That's my passion.

00:08:59.000 I've always been interested in health.

00:09:01.000 You know, I'm curious about the body.

00:09:03.000 I'm curious about how it works, how to optimize it.

00:09:06.000 And so when he was obviously towing that side of the election line really hard, I live a little more liberally, but I want the country to be governed much more conservatively.

00:09:19.000 So that in between was Bobby, right?

00:09:21.000 Like where there's, you know, it was very much core to my beliefs and what I thought was the most important to me.

00:09:26.000 So then when he came on board with President Trump, it was super, super easy and clear.

00:09:33.000 I want to really dive into that because I agree.

00:09:34.000 The health thing is incredibly important to me.

00:09:37.000 I know that you're really interested in all that stuff.

00:09:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:39.000 I mean, it's the only reason I'm able to sustain the schedule I do, right?

00:09:43.000 Which is eat really clean, you know, exercise a lot, get vitamin D supplements.

00:09:48.000 And you know what it's like, I mean, competing at the highest levels.

00:09:51.000 If you don't take care of your body, I mean, it's just forget it.

00:09:53.000 I mean, vitamin D, just as a singling example, we live in the desert where it's sunshine all year round.

00:09:58.000 I take vitamin D because I'm deficient.

00:10:00.000 And you're still deficient.

00:10:01.000 Yes, exactly.

00:10:01.000 It's amazing.

00:10:02.000 Yeah.

00:10:02.000 With supplementation, I get to like 75, 80, which is great.

00:10:05.000 Yeah.

00:10:05.000 But most people, especially if you live in Seattle, you're around like 15 or 20, which, by the way, impacts your mood.

00:10:11.000 It's a hormone.

00:10:12.000 I was going to say, it's the only vitamin that mimics a hormone.

00:10:14.000 Yeah.

00:10:18.000 We're going to do more at the Health Hour with Danica and Charlie here, but go vote.

00:10:21.000 And I just want to say, Danica, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

00:10:23.000 You have everything to be applauded for voting for the first time.

00:10:26.000 Thank you.

00:10:27.000 Look, I think my whole life has conditioned me to be in this position now.

00:10:31.000 We're standing for something.

00:10:33.000 Definitely creates some immense backlash and people thinking that I'm a horrible person and that what grounds do I have to sort of be doing what I'm doing when I've never even voted before.

00:10:42.000 But I appreciate you saying that.

00:10:44.000 And all I can say is that I care now.

00:10:46.000 And when I didn't vote, I didn't complain.

00:10:48.000 But I have a voice now because I've done my part.

00:10:51.000 All patriots are welcome and go find the Danica in your life.

00:10:54.000 No, seriously.

00:10:55.000 Go find one Danica. 0.81

00:10:58.000 Help her out and get her to vote. 0.98

00:10:59.000 And you said something.

00:11:00.000 It was a little intimidating, understandably, because you didn't know all this stuff.

00:11:03.000 Don't let that be a reason that your friend doesn't vote.

00:11:06.000 It's so official, right?

00:11:08.000 Very official.

00:11:09.000 It's like you're applying for a car loan or something, right?

00:11:12.000 Which I don't even know if I've ever done that before either.

00:11:14.000 I've had so much good help in my life.

00:11:16.000 So yeah, it's very official and I want to make sure I do it right and I want to make sure my ballot is counted.

00:11:21.000 So I also signed up for the scan your vote.

00:12:30.000 .

00:12:32.000 So is it fair to say this all started with AmFest?

00:12:35.000 A hundred percent.

00:12:36.000 A hundred, hundred, hundred percent.

00:12:38.000 I say that basically every time I speak or every time I moderate an event and it just can't be understated how powerful that event was and how – look, there's something for everybody there.

00:12:49.000 I think that's what I found to be so amazing that there was people that touched on psychology.

00:12:53.000 psychology.

00:12:54.000 There was people that touched on the border, people that touched on transgenders and transitioning, like you name it, as well as politicians, comedians.

00:13:02.000 So it was a really entertaining event.

00:13:05.000 But of course, the tipping point for me was saying I love this country and having people- The backlash.

00:13:10.000 Be so mad at me and think I'm, I mean, here's one thing that I was thinking about the other day.

00:13:14.000 When I was in high school, I've always loved the American flag.

00:13:19.000 I had an American flag jacket.

00:13:21.000 You know that like Wilson's leather, USA down the arm, big flag in the back.

00:13:25.000 Like I wish, I gotta ask my mom if there's any way we've still kept it because I would wear that on the 5th for sure.

00:13:32.000 But I've loved the American flag since I have a tattoo of an American flag on my back.

00:13:36.000 Like I have always loved this country and the fact that that's divisive is, it just honestly infuriates me.

00:13:43.000 I just don't understand the country.

00:13:44.000 And so your temperament is that the more pushback you got, the more you leaned in.

00:13:48.000 Absolutely.

00:13:49.000 It triggered me.

00:13:51.000 It was the igniting force that I needed to go...

00:13:54.000 I mean, yes, the health stuff is the most near and dear to my heart of what I want changed, but I can run away from so many other things, right?

00:14:02.000 I can run away from the cost of gas or milk or whatever those things are, but I can't run away from food and all the other health things.

00:14:10.000 So it was really that sort of judgment on not being able to be a proud American and That made me so angry and lit the fire.

00:14:19.000 Like, it's only burned brighter ever since, for sure.

00:14:22.000 So thank you.

00:14:23.000 Well, thank you.

00:14:23.000 Let's play the cut of you on Jesse Waters.

00:14:26.000 You were very sweet here.

00:14:27.000 And by the way, email us questions you have for Danica, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:14:30.000 Let's play cut 24.

00:14:32.000 Why now are you so committed to voting now that you've been watching the news?

00:14:41.000 Last December, I feel like probably your viewers are familiar with Charlie Kirk.

00:14:47.000 He put on a really big event here in town in Phoenix called AmFest.

00:14:53.000 Tucker spoke.

00:14:55.000 Trump Jr.

00:14:56.000 spoke.

00:14:56.000 Vivek spoke.

00:14:57.000 There were so many great speakers.

00:14:59.000 And I posted some pictures afterwards.

00:15:00.000 Of course, it was very red, white, and blue.

00:15:03.000 Red is also my favorite color.

00:15:05.000 And I basically just said, I love this country.

00:15:09.000 AmFest, AmericaFest, I love this country.

00:15:11.000 Seems like the place to be.

00:15:13.000 And it just drew so much media attention.

00:15:18.000 It's been so confusing to me how when you say MAGA, it's meant to be an insult.

00:15:25.000 I am passionate because it feels like voting for Donald Trump is like the vote of reason.

00:15:31.000 It's like the rational, reasonable choice So, Danica, it is the rational, reasonable choice.

00:15:39.000 I feel like it's like not allowing boys to play in girls sports.

00:15:45.000 Rational decision, right?

00:15:47.000 Like, I mean, not jacking up taxes so that companies hire more people is the rational choice.

00:15:53.000 I don't even know if people understand that that's who's employing people.

00:15:57.000 My dad actually said, he's like, you should use this one.

00:16:00.000 Has anyone ever been employed by someone poor?

00:16:02.000 Exactly.

00:16:03.000 It's like, nope.

00:16:05.000 The list goes on and on of just sort of very simple cognitive things that just seem like, wow, why is this such a challenging choice?

00:16:13.000 But here's the bottom line that I hear from so many people.

00:16:16.000 They are either triggered by him as a personality, and that tends to be more women, or they've believed the propaganda machine. 0.98

00:16:26.000 They call him a racist, they call him a rapist, and they call him a convicted felon. 0.73

00:16:32.000 Those three things are the most common things that come up. 0.97

00:16:35.000 And then all I do, and look, I'm just learning.

00:16:38.000 So these things happened.

00:16:39.000 Obviously, some of these narratives started so long ago.

00:16:41.000 I've been trying to learn as much as possible.

00:16:43.000 But from what I understand, so many, they've really been propaganda.

00:16:48.000 And they've been set up by the left on so many occasions.

00:16:51.000 I know January 6th is a big one that triggers people.

00:16:54.000 And they think, like, the left also thinks that there's going to be a There needs to be a peaceful transfer of power.

00:17:01.000 And it's like, I just don't think people are educated and they've listened to the propaganda machine, listened to the news, which we know is controlled so much by the left, that they've bought in.

00:17:13.000 I don't know if they aren't able to think for themselves or if they've sort of...

00:17:16.000 And you love truth.

00:17:18.000 A hundred percent.

00:17:19.000 And truth brought you here.

00:17:21.000 Your love of truth.

00:17:22.000 I mean, I've picked up this book because my book said truth.

00:17:22.000 Is that right?

00:17:25.000 So I'm like, it's got to be good.

00:17:27.000 That's my working theory.

00:17:27.000 What did Tulsi, Bobby Kennedy, Elon, Danica Patrick have in common?

00:17:30.000 You guys love truth and you're unafraid of where it takes you, right?

00:17:34.000 A hundred percent, even if it goes dark for a while, right?

00:17:36.000 Even if it creates transition in your life.

00:17:39.000 Like, I would say, to be honest, there is some transition going on in my life with speaking up in the way that I have, is that there are many people that are like, I had no idea that you thought like this, I can't cheer for you anymore, I don't follow you anymore, you're a horrible person, you're setting women back, a million other things, and you're like, look, you just have to, you just, the truth shall set you free.

00:18:02.000 Okay, everybody, I'll have something to offer you today, something absolutely free.

00:19:04.000 So at AmFest in December, Tucker spoke, and he spoke about the topic of truth.

00:19:10.000 And he went on and on just about that truth is your superpower.

00:19:16.000 And when you look at when Tucker speaks, I don't know if he...

00:19:20.000 I think I heard him say when I saw his event to kick off his tour, he doesn't even come up with something he's going to say.

00:19:27.000 He literally organically lets it flow.

00:19:29.000 And I'm here to tell you guys, the only way you can do that is if you're in truth.

00:19:35.000 If you embody it, you live it, and you're ready to speak it, and there's nothing to hide.

00:19:40.000 That's such a good point.

00:19:41.000 The reason why you and President Trump and Bobby and Vivek and J.D., And Tulsi and everyone can go do interviews speaking about politics and speaking about all these issues is because they really know it and believe it and they're speaking their truth.

00:19:59.000 You don't see that from the other side because they're not in truth. 0.54

00:20:02.000 They can't get caught out because they don't have an answer.

00:20:04.000 It's so rehearsed because they don't believe it.

00:20:07.000 Exactly.

00:20:07.000 So it's what other people have provided for them.

00:20:10.000 So they can't do off the cuff.

00:20:12.000 And again, I'm a big Joe Rogan fan because he's a lover of truth.

00:20:15.000 Trump, I thought, was excellent.

00:20:16.000 Did you listen to the Rogan interview?

00:20:17.000 I listened to the whole thing.

00:20:17.000 I did.

00:20:18.000 What was your reaction to that?

00:20:20.000 I've heard some of those stories before because, again, he's just speaking the truth.

00:20:23.000 These are his stories.

00:20:25.000 I thought that he was...

00:20:26.000 The Afghanistan one was hilarious. 0.67

00:20:28.000 Oh, gosh.

00:20:28.000 I mean, he's a great storyteller.

00:20:30.000 And here's the thing.

00:20:32.000 I'm going to sidestep to being in person at the rally the other night because I think it's even more important what I experience is that When you're there with him, he's actually very calm.

00:20:43.000 And I feel like that's what came through in the interview.

00:20:44.000 Like, he's just...

00:20:45.000 And he's very funny.

00:20:46.000 And Joe pointed that out.

00:20:47.000 Joe is a comedian, everybody.

00:20:49.000 Like, he knows funny.

00:20:50.000 Exactly.

00:20:50.000 A good comedian.

00:20:51.000 So, I mean, he has a comedy store in Austin where he wanted to be able to put his own people on stage, right?

00:20:57.000 And run a show.

00:20:59.000 But he's very funny.

00:21:02.000 He's very charismatic.

00:21:04.000 And he's very calm.

00:21:06.000 And I find him to be very calm and...

00:21:09.000 You know, I think he's just, I think he's just playful.

00:21:12.000 So like he goes through his, you can see he's going to prompter here and there.

00:21:15.000 But it's almost like he knows that people will get bored listening to policy talk and listening to somebody reading a prompter. 0.97

00:21:21.000 And he'll just riff on a story, make a joke, tell someone to get their f*** off the couch.

00:21:26.000 Like he just like slips in.

00:21:27.000 So if somebody only hears these moments, they're like, oh, wow, it can be jarring for people.

00:21:32.000 But when you watch it in totality, and you see the pauses and the moments and the way that he walks and the pauses and the dances and the goofiness and He's so charismatic.

00:21:41.000 I think everyone should go listen.

00:21:43.000 I just finished it this morning.

00:21:45.000 Everyone should listen to Jordan Peterson's analysis on YouTube.

00:21:49.000 It might be other places too.

00:21:51.000 It's a special episode he did to the Avengers where he goes through from a psychology perspective.

00:21:57.000 All of the Avengers, let's just call them that.

00:22:00.000 And he goes into their personality traits because there's the big five personality.

00:22:03.000 Tulsi, Bobby.

00:22:04.000 Vivek, JD, and Trump.

00:22:07.000 And so he goes into all of them and he starts with Donald.

00:22:09.000 I'll have to look at that.

00:22:10.000 It's something everyone that is having a hard time should listen to because it gives it from an objective perspective the personality traits of these people.

00:22:21.000 And what you end up realizing is that, I don't know, this is my theory.

00:22:25.000 We feel like Trump has this sort of narcissistic communication style and personality.

00:22:29.000 He's very overt.

00:22:30.000 You hear in the explanation from Jordan Peterson a little bit better examples of why and how that is and what it really is.

00:22:37.000 Now, anyone that's had exposure to narcissistic abuse, you know that there's projection in a lot of times what they do.

00:22:42.000 Is they say, they throw at you exactly what they're doing.

00:22:46.000 And that's what Kamala does all the time. 1.00

00:22:48.000 Don't you notice that?

00:22:49.000 Like she'll throw out there certain things that are going on and she'll say, oh, you want to use the military to your advantage, right?

00:22:56.000 That's something recent, right?

00:22:58.000 And then right after that, there was sort of like a DOD sort of petition or a bill or something like that or right that they passed where they are going to be able to use military force on someone that goes against what That's a recent order that we haven't covered yet.

00:23:13.000 Exactly.

00:23:14.000 That's an example of somebody that said, oh, you want to use the military to your parents?

00:23:18.000 And she just did it.

00:23:19.000 It's wild.

00:23:20.000 It happens constantly.

00:23:22.000 I don't know.

00:23:23.000 Maybe she's the narcissist. 1.00

00:23:25.000 Maybe she is. 0.93

00:23:27.000 Or maybe she's just repeating what someone tells her to say.

00:23:29.000 I think Kamala is a very troubled person.

00:23:31.000 She did not work to be where she is right now, and she does not have the talent to close out this election. 0.98

00:23:36.000 I hope we beat her.

00:23:37.000 Okay, this is 22, Trump and Rogan.

00:23:40.000 This is just a hilarious little clip.

00:23:42.000 Play Cut 22.

00:23:43.000 So I always got more publicity than other people, and it wasn't like I was trying.

00:23:48.000 In fact, I don't know exactly why.

00:23:51.000 Maybe you can tell me why.

00:23:52.000 Oh, I can definitely tell you. 0.99

00:23:53.000 You said a lot of wild s***. 0.99

00:23:55.000 Maybe. 0.98

00:23:57.000 You said a lot of wild s***, and then CNN, in all their brilliance, by highlighting your wild s*** made you much more popular. 0.96

00:24:05.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:24:06.000 It's called clickbait.

00:24:08.000 You know, it's called making TV. I just love Rogan's analysis.

00:24:11.000 Okay, here's Tucker just off the cuff at Madison Square Garden.

00:24:15.000 Let's play cut 18.

00:24:16.000 You know what the big lie is?

00:24:17.000 The big lie is that they're impressive.

00:24:19.000 That's what the big lie is.

00:24:21.000 That the people in charge have somehow earned the right to rule over you, and they haven't.

00:24:25.000 And you know that. 0.99

00:24:27.000 These are the single most useless people in the United States. 1.00

00:24:31.000 They have no skills whatsoever. 1.00

00:24:34.000 They've got three quarters of the money and they didn't earn it.

00:24:38.000 They set up a system precisely for the purpose of awarding themselves wealth and power when it's undeserved.

00:24:46.000 You look at Liz Cheney and you ask yourself honestly, What skill could she possibly have that allowed her to send hundreds of thousands of people to their deaths?

00:24:57.000 Did she earn that?

00:24:59.000 I don't think she did.

00:25:00.000 No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful. 1.00

00:25:04.000 No fair system would make Larry Fink rich.

00:25:06.000 No fair system would elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination. 1.00

00:25:13.000 Wow.

00:25:13.000 Do you agree with that?

00:25:15.000 Yes.

00:25:15.000 The first thing he started off by saying in that talk was that the number one reason that he is, I can't remember how he phrased it, if it was that people liked him is because he likes you.

00:25:25.000 That's what it was.

00:25:26.000 He said the number one reason why people like him because they couldn't figure it out is because he likes you.

00:25:31.000 And now you think about it.

00:25:32.000 He's the only person that has lost net worth being president.

00:25:37.000 Every other one of them has gained tremendous net worth, which shows you that the engine behind it and the background that we don't understand through war and whatever else is going on.

00:25:47.000 And also, to reiterate the incredible event that happened at Butler, he was shot.

00:25:54.000 And then they tried to shoot him again.

00:25:57.000 He is a billionaire.

00:25:59.000 He doesn't need to do this job.

00:26:00.000 He wants to do this job.

00:26:02.000 That is a big difference.

00:26:04.000 That is a very big difference.

00:26:06.000 Because he actually cares.

00:26:07.000 I think he really...

00:26:08.000 And there's been so many great clips that have come up recently.

00:26:11.000 People have been showing about interviews that he's done 30 years ago, 40 years ago, talking about tariffs on other countries and making them pay their fair share, too.

00:26:21.000 Lifelong consistency.

00:26:23.000 Exactly.

00:26:24.000 So, Danica, you've spent a lot of time with people on the left and the right.

00:26:28.000 Do you agree with Tucker that the people on the left aren't that impressive in person?

00:26:32.000 Yeah, and it's funny.

00:26:33.000 We were just talking about this.

00:26:34.000 I said, all of the Avengers, all of you, are all more impressive in person.

00:26:39.000 Tucker, that's the first thing I say about him, more impressive in person.

00:26:42.000 I totally agree with that.

00:26:43.000 So cool, so genuine, so locked in.

00:26:45.000 Tulsi, so engaged, so much integrity.

00:26:48.000 The things that we've talked about behind the scenes about...

00:26:51.000 How much she cares that things actually get done instead of appear to get done.

00:26:55.000 Like, she has so much integrity and care and pride from where she came from, and she's just a wonderful person.

00:27:03.000 Bobby, I mean, the first time I really spent significant time with him was over New Year's.

00:27:08.000 And I was skiing in Aspen.

00:27:10.000 Went to the top at the big, you know, gondola area where you can have lunch.

00:27:14.000 The Little Nell or whatever?

00:27:16.000 Yeah.

00:27:16.000 We just sat up top in the regular public people.

00:27:20.000 People would just walk up to him.

00:27:21.000 He'd chit-chat for a while.

00:27:23.000 It was totally normal.

00:27:24.000 And then he gave me a ski lesson on the way down.

00:27:26.000 JD, before we started our town hall in North Carolina a few weeks ago...

00:27:32.000 I didn't speak to him at all before and I usually like to like make sure that I ask a question that they would like versus another one just out of respect and I'm on their team.

00:27:42.000 We didn't talk about any of that.

00:27:44.000 He didn't come.

00:27:45.000 We didn't talk before.

00:27:46.000 It was only backstage.

00:27:47.000 And it was him and Usha.

00:27:49.000 And all we did was speak for about 10 or 15 minutes about kids and racing.

00:27:53.000 And that's why at the end of the event, I sort of talked about the fact that he was baking with his family and things like that.

00:27:59.000 Like, that's why I learned that because we didn't talk about anything else.

00:28:02.000 He didn't care what I asked him.

00:28:04.000 Look, I could go on and on.

00:28:06.000 Yourself, everyone, more engaging, more amazing, more genuine, more amazing in person.

00:28:12.000 And you know what I've experienced too?

00:28:14.000 This is like throughout my racing career.

00:28:16.000 There'd be many times you go to the racetrack and there'd be like a governor or a senator.

00:28:19.000 And look, I'm not saying they're all bad, but many of them I met.

00:28:22.000 It was like a matter of like a lot of them just kind of weren't there.

00:28:25.000 Yeah, totally.

00:28:26.000 They just didn't seem intelligent to me.

00:28:28.000 I completely agree with you.

00:28:29.000 I'm sure some are, but that was what I got.

00:28:31.000 They're very unimpressive.

00:28:31.000 Yes, exactly.

00:28:32.000 And then it'd be like handshake picture.

00:28:35.000 Right?

00:28:35.000 The formality of the picture with the handshake.

00:28:38.000 Go away.

00:28:39.000 And that was it.

00:28:39.000 There was no conversation.

00:28:40.000 It was just sort of like, uh, uh, uh, uh, like, are you there?

00:28:43.000 And then shake hands, take a picture, and walk away.

00:28:46.000 I truly believe that Make America Great Again is, it's just a great, it makes a great acronym, but it's really about making America better than it's ever been. 1.00

00:28:55.000 Well, and it's, again, I think most people in the political class are so stupid and unimpressive. 0.99

00:29:00.000 And I say that, I spend a lot of time with them. 1.00

00:29:02.000 But you know who is impressive?

00:29:03.000 Elon Musk is impressive.

00:29:04.000 Tulsi Gabbard is impressive.

00:29:06.000 Bobby Kennedy, you're impressive.

00:29:08.000 And what we're doing is we're replacing the traditional political class with this outsider class.

00:29:12.000 Vivek is very impressive.

00:29:14.000 Very smart.

00:29:15.000 Built something.

00:29:15.000 But like your average governor and senator, they're just not firing.

00:29:21.000 I'm just not.

00:29:22.000 I agree.

00:29:23.000 And one of the sort of like default final arguments I make to people when we get in conversation about this or argument about this is I say to them, I'm like, All of the most brilliant human beings from all walks of life.

00:29:37.000 Jordan Peterson, psychology, philosophy.

00:29:40.000 Elon Musk, he's a builder.

00:29:41.000 Patrick Bette David, businessman.

00:29:44.000 Grant Cardone.

00:29:46.000 I mean, you name it.

00:29:47.000 We're not even talking about the core Avengers group.

00:29:49.000 We're just talking about other extremely brilliant people from other walks of life supporting Donald Trump.

00:29:56.000 That's so true.

00:29:57.000 Shouldn't you just look at that and go, am I missing something?

00:30:00.000 I hope you got it.

00:30:01.000 We're going to put this on all our socials.

00:30:03.000 And I hope you guys isolate this and send this around.

00:30:06.000 Danica made the best argument.

00:30:08.000 How can you look at Patrick Bet-David, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy, Vivek, Danica, and just look at that list and say, huh, those are the people.

00:30:17.000 Who's behind Kamala?

00:30:20.000 You got like Liz Cheney, the political class. 0.73

00:30:22.000 I was also thinking they obviously throw the famous people around.

00:30:25.000 And look, I think I'm a surrogate.

00:30:27.000 Because I have a platform.

00:30:28.000 But I keep talking.

00:30:31.000 And what you notice about everyone else on that other side, and I think everybody got really mad that Beyonce didn't perform a concert the other night, right?

00:30:39.000 But they come in for a moment.

00:30:41.000 It was so deceiving what they did.

00:30:42.000 They come in for a moment and say, I'm voting for Kamala.

00:30:46.000 That's it.

00:30:46.000 And that's it.

00:30:48.000 And you don't see that on the other side.

00:30:50.000 Or at least from my perspective and what I'm doing.

00:30:52.000 I sort of took a stance and I am pushing and working for it.

00:30:57.000 And this is just the beginning of your journey.

00:30:58.000 At the end, remember that.

00:31:02.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:32:01.000 Danica, I saw a Jameel Hill tweeted at you.

00:32:07.000 Did you see that?

00:32:08.000 No.

00:32:08.000 Do you remember who Jameel Hill is?

00:32:11.000 Is he a football player?

00:32:12.000 No, it's a woman. 0.99

00:32:14.000 It's a woman? 1.00

00:32:15.000 Oh, God. 0.70

00:32:15.000 I'm going to get roasted for that one. 0.70

00:32:17.000 No, it's okay.

00:32:18.000 It's not a big deal.

00:32:19.000 I play fantasy football, and I literally auto-draft, essentially.

00:32:23.000 So I'm like, ooh, wait, maybe I said something about it.

00:32:26.000 You probably do better than most people just auto-drafting, though.

00:32:28.000 I've only lost one game so far this season.

00:32:30.000 Oh, that's great.

00:32:31.000 So Jameel Hill attacked you saying that...

00:32:33.000 Oh, I know who you're talking about.

00:32:36.000 Actress.

00:32:37.000 I know who you're talking about.

00:32:38.000 She was in a really cool show with Kristen Bell called...

00:32:41.000 It was about basically like going to hell versus heaven.

00:32:44.000 I think this is a former ESPN anchor who attacked you for voting for Trump and said, this is why we don't trust white women this election. 0.94

00:32:52.000 That's what she said about you.

00:32:53.000 Oh, goodness.

00:32:54.000 That just doesn't sound intelligent.

00:32:58.000 Not very much.

00:32:59.000 So how are you getting through some of the opposition that people are throwing at you?

00:33:07.000 My whole life has prepared me for it.

00:33:10.000 It doesn't actually bother me.

00:33:12.000 It never really has, but look, when I started racing when I was 10, I've always been different.

00:33:19.000 People have been triggered by me and also judgmental in the sense that So many people, probably since I was 14 years old, have said to me, you don't deserve to be here.

00:33:33.000 You're horrible. 0.98

00:33:34.000 You're just a sideshow. 1.00

00:33:36.000 You're an act.

00:33:37.000 You're marketing.

00:33:38.000 And look, some of it's true, for sure. 0.99

00:33:40.000 But no one sticks around in a sport for 30 years if they suck.

00:33:45.000 So it conditioned me, and I really, truly...

00:33:50.000 I think that, too, maturity has given me perspective, like observer perspective, and that I think I don't do that.

00:33:59.000 Like, I'm not attacking people.

00:34:01.000 It's one thing to respond.

00:34:02.000 Like, someone, I very rarely respond, but somebody the other day said something nasty, and I said, yet you still follow me.

00:34:08.000 Like, I looked at them like they follow me.

00:34:10.000 But it's in response.

00:34:11.000 The voluntary aggression that people offer is just, it really, to me, because I'm also very, very Into psychology shows a wounded part of them that is trying to protect something within them that can't sort of like deal with that side of them that doesn't understand, that makes them feel like, yeah, that makes them feel less than.

00:34:35.000 So in closing here, it's the end towards the campaign.

00:34:39.000 Are you planning to do some campaigning continuing for Trump towards the end?

00:34:43.000 Yes.

00:34:43.000 But I will say, as we were talking about before, all of this has been so effortless.

00:34:49.000 And at the beginning of the year, after AmFest, I went and did Tucker's show and afterwards said thank you.

00:34:54.000 And he said, I don't know what's going to happen for you, but I bet it's not going to be what you expect.

00:34:58.000 So after I did the JD town hall, and he asked if I could get my phone number through the pathways, and then he texted me and said, hey, That was great.

00:35:07.000 Can I give your number to President Trump?

00:35:09.000 And I was like, he wrote DJT. And I was like, of course.

00:35:12.000 I texted Tucker and was like, look, you're right.

00:35:15.000 I would have never expected all these things to happen.

00:35:18.000 I said, and I'm doing it without any effort.

00:35:21.000 Look, the phone just rings and I get asked to do these things.

00:35:24.000 And he said, that's how you know.

00:35:26.000 And it's true. 0.56

00:35:27.000 Like reflect on that in your life.

00:35:29.000 The things that are meant for you and the things that are you're truly into and passionate about and your way forward are easy and effortless.

00:35:36.000 And that's how it's been.

00:35:37.000 So, look, today, Laura Trump's coming in. 0.99

00:35:41.000 We're doing Women for Trump event.

00:35:42.000 So we've got a couple of stops this afternoon in Phoenix.

00:35:44.000 Thursday night, Halloween night, there's the huge event to finish off Tucker's tour.

00:35:50.000 here in Phoenix going to that as well.

00:35:53.000 I'll be there.

00:35:54.000 And Tulsi's asked me to do various different things with her for the last few days before we end up in Florida for election night.

00:36:03.000 I will be here.

00:36:04.000 You'll be in Florida.

00:36:05.000 I plan on it.

00:36:06.000 But if I'm not...

00:36:06.000 I will be streaming live for a lot of people that want election analysis, that is.

00:36:11.000 Because I think...

00:36:12.000 I'm biased.

00:36:12.000 I think our election analysis is the best.

00:36:14.000 Because we know this stuff so well.

00:36:16.000 And Danica, who would have thought a year ago in October 2023?

00:36:20.000 I would have never imagined.

00:36:20.000 Can you just reflect on that?

00:36:22.000 Thanks for asking that.

00:36:23.000 I was thinking to myself, and you know who does this so well?

00:36:26.000 Tucker.

00:36:26.000 When he stands on stage, he goes, oh my god.

00:36:28.000 He's like, I'm following Bobby Kennedy at a Donald Trump event.

00:36:32.000 He can say anything because he just laughs.

00:36:35.000 And it's so real for him and true for him.

00:36:38.000 But I was thinking to myself how I've missed an opportunity at times when I get on stage to say how grateful I am.

00:36:45.000 And how shocked I am to be in this position.

00:36:49.000 But how honored I am.

00:36:51.000 And how I met President Trump the other night for the first time, and he said, thanks for what you've been doing.

00:36:56.000 And I told him, I said, look, it just feels good to be passionate about something again.

00:37:02.000 Then he went on to try and tell me I needed a job.

00:37:04.000 Anyway, so that's beside the point.

00:37:06.000 There is a place for you in our movement.

00:37:08.000 But I truly, like, following your passions leads you to great places and great things, and it's my honor to be here again with you.

00:37:17.000 So thank you for starting this whole thing.

00:37:18.000 God bless you, Danica.

00:37:19.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
