00:01:00.000Well, then that's your place, is CharlieKirk.com/slash support.
00:01:32.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:03.000This debate will be watched by anywhere between 70 to 100 million people.
00:02:09.000Almost the entire body politic of the country will be watching the debate.
00:02:14.000Since there was no second debate and there was just town halls, this only makes this final debate one of the most important pieces of political feeder in American history.
00:02:28.000I've said this election is the most important election since 1860, where the opposition is so motivated, so radical, so venomous to take over our government, to rule with an iron fist, and to put America on a crash course of which we will never recover.
00:02:45.000So I have compiled a list of very specific suggestions that I am sharing both publicly and privately with the president of what I believe he needs to do to win the debate and with it, win the election.
00:03:01.000If you are undecided at this moment, watching this election, I call undecided voters voters that are begging for a reason to vote for Donald Trump.
00:03:16.000These are voters that are begging to be given any sort of argumentation, any sort of evidence, anything to go vote for Trump.
00:03:28.000If you don't hate Trump by now, then you're in the persuadable category to go vote for Trump.
00:03:35.000And so here are eight specific debate suggestions, recommendations, and pieces of advice of how President Trump can win the debate and with it, win the election.
00:03:51.000Number one, do not interrupt Joe Biden.
00:03:58.000Now, the Presidential Commission on Debates, which is a complete and total travesty to any sort of impartial commission, recently came out and said they are going to mute President Trump and Joe Biden's microphone.
00:04:17.000Now, on the surface, this looks like a jab towards President Trump.
00:04:22.000On the surface, this looks like kind of an insult.
00:04:26.000However, I'm in the minority opinion here.
00:04:31.000I think that President Donald Trump, being in a metaphorical cage and seeing Joe Biden on TV never asked questions, understandably cannot help himself when he's on the same stage as Joe Biden.
00:04:44.000He cannot help but become critical, become outspoken, and ask Joe Biden questions.
00:04:54.000And so because of this, as the Presidential Commission on Debates, the Presidential Commission on the Debate, the Commission of Debates, I believe is actually doing the President a favor here.
00:05:07.000I do not think Joe Biden has the mental capacity to make uninterrupted two-minute statements.
00:05:21.000I think Joe Biden left his own devices without the shot of adrenaline when President Trump would ask him questions and understandably interrupt him means that Joe Biden will have to meander into places he has never gone before, actually make a coherent argument for two minutes straight.
00:05:40.000You see, when people are struggling with mental cognition, those of us that have dealt with people in that state, when you constantly interrupt them, you're able to give them a shot of adrenaline and they regain their capacity to make sense.
00:05:58.000President Trump should not give Joe Biden that opportunity.
00:06:03.000President Trump should also not interrupt Joe Biden because persuadable and independent voters, specifically women voters, do not like the appearance.
00:06:14.000They do not like the type of debate where there are constant interruptions.
00:06:22.000And even myself, as I watch the debate, I don't like it when candidates interrupt each other.
00:06:27.000It makes for messy and bad television.
00:06:29.000I can tell you when I am on cable TV and I have done well over 500 cable television hits in the last five years and I have done well over 1,000 total TV interviews in the last eight and a half years.
00:06:45.000I do my best to almost never interrupt the other person I'm on TV with.
00:06:50.000And anytime anyone interrupts me, it drives me mad and I say, I let you finish, let me finish.
00:06:58.000I think that if you're going to have a debate, you have to have some sort of framework you're working from, some form of rules for engagement.
00:07:07.000And that is not limited to allowing someone making a fool of themselves.
00:07:12.000And you could take very specific notes that during their two minutes that you can address.
00:07:19.000For people that want a return to some form of decency, and I'm not saying they're right or they're wrong, but they are out there.
00:07:31.000President Donald Trump will do himself politically well by not interrupting Biden.
00:07:38.000He doesn't even have the opportunity to interrupt Biden, though, because his microphone will be muted.
00:07:43.000I actually think this works greatly to the president's advantage.
00:07:47.000Joe Biden interrupting Trump only makes Trump get off the topic that he was speaking about.
00:07:53.000Donald Trump interrupting Biden only makes Joe Biden look like a victim, look like a sympathetic figure, and also gives Joe Biden the opportunity to not have to make his own argument, his own point, absent the quick adrenal rush afforded to him by President Donald Trump.
00:08:18.000So President Donald Trump has to be very clear to allow Joe Biden the space to make those arguments.
00:08:26.000Otherwise said, please claim the moral high ground in how this debate is actually executed.
00:08:36.000Point number two, which is a longer and more sophisticated point to make, which is President Donald Trump must force the point on foreign policy.
00:08:51.000First and foremost, the President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of our country.
00:08:56.000The president of the United States negotiates peace deals.
00:08:59.000The president of the United States is able to send our loved ones to war.
00:09:03.000The president of the United States is the first phone call for foreign leaders, diplomats, prime ministers, and presidents.
00:09:12.000The president has an unbelievable, unprecedented, and positive track record when it comes to foreign policy.
00:09:22.000The president has victory after victory, where he has been able to notch up wins when it comes to the foreign policy arena.
00:09:34.000Brokering peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, holding Iran accountable, abolishing ISIS, killing Qassam Soleimani and al-Baghdadi, ending the endless wars in Afghanistan, supplying Ukraine with the weaponry they need to hold Russia accountable.
00:09:59.000This and so much more shows how President Donald Trump on the foreign policy landscape has been able to deliver results that Joe Biden not just never did, he did the opposite.
00:10:12.000Everywhere that Joe Biden touched turned to chaos everywhere.
00:10:17.000Everywhere that Joe Biden went, it became endless bedlam and chaos.
00:10:23.000President Trump should make the argument, because it's true and it's popular, that every place that Joe Biden oversaw became a quagmire.
00:11:50.000Even better, if you need a T-bone right now, go to goodranchers.com, promo code Charlie, goodranchers.com, American meat the way it should be.
00:12:03.000You don't have to go anywhere because they deliver to your door.
00:12:05.000So it's goodranchers.com, promo code Charlie, goodranchers.com, get the meat you need, juicy, sizzle-it, mouth-watering, tintillating, awesome meat.
00:12:20.000Typically, the last debate is a foreign policy debate.
00:12:24.000The President of the United States, constitutionally, first and foremost, is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States government.
00:12:31.000And this debate should focus on foreign policy.
00:12:34.000You can see in the new guidelines released by the moderator from the Presidential Commission on Debates that they want to focus on climate change, the virus, things that have already been talked about, racial unrest.
00:12:45.000The president shouldn't be afraid of talking about those things.
00:12:48.000However, foreign policy is a massive arena of victory for the president.
00:12:54.000President Donald Trump's foreign policy has been popular, it has been pragmatic, and it has been effective for our country.
00:13:02.000The peace deals, holding terrorists accountable, holding China accountable.
00:13:07.000President Donald Trump has one of the most successful foreign policy portfolios of any president in American history and not starting any new wars during his presidency.
00:13:17.000So the second piece of advice for debate prep for Donald Trump is lean in on the foreign policy.
00:13:23.000Whether or not they ask the question, find a way to bring it back to presidential leadership when it comes to foreign policy.
00:13:31.000Make a concerted effort to talk about how you have brought Israel and the United Arab Emirates to the table and ask, Joe Biden, in your 47 years of being in Washington, D.C., how many peace deals did you broker between Israel and the Arab states?
00:13:46.000Did your administration create ISIS or defeat ISIS?
00:14:25.000Every single area on the planet became perpetual bedlam under Joe Biden.
00:14:34.000And it is a point that I think President Trump needs to focus primarily on.
00:14:39.000And he should say in a very self-deprecating way, and this is another piece of advice that I have, but it ties in nicely here: that President Donald Trump needs to say, you might not like my style, but you can't disagree at the results.
00:14:53.000That kind of self-deprecation opens up a likability that President Trump needs for persuadable and independent voters.
00:15:08.000And foreign policy is something that has not been at the forefront, but it absolutely should be.
00:15:15.000With the epidemiological Pearl Harbor that China sent towards our country, with the amount of suffering and chaos that we have had to endure because of the Chinese coronavirus, President Donald Trump should be unafraid.
00:15:29.000In fact, he should be quick to proclaim the mantle of a successful foreign policy portfolio.
00:15:39.000One that no president in recent memory has gotten even close to being able to achieve or accomplish.
00:15:47.000The third piece of advice that I will be sharing with the president, both publicly and privately, is that President Donald Trump needs to be very clear about who will be in charge.
00:15:59.000President Donald Trump should say three to four times, because it will catch people's attention, say that the Harris administration will shut down your churches.
00:16:09.000The Harris administration will shut down gun shows.
00:16:14.000The Harris administration will only play into big tech's wishes.
00:16:22.000President Donald Trump needs to make it clear that Joe Biden probably will not finish out his term.
00:16:28.000A majority of swing voters believe this.
00:16:30.000And a majority of people in the middle are very afraid of Senator Kamala Harris becoming president of the United States.
00:16:40.000Those words, Harris administration, sends a chilling effect to swing voters and Republican-based voters.
00:16:49.000And just saying it, speaking it out into the existence, will give people the reality that they're facing in this election.
00:16:57.000That it's not just Trump versus Biden, but it's Trump versus an opportunistic, power-hungry, radical California Democrat who was voted to be the most liberal senator in the United States Senate, who by all accounts and all polls and all reaction lost the debate against Vice President Pence.
00:17:17.000The Harris administration will pack the courts.
00:17:20.000The Harris administration will recognize D.C. as a state.
00:17:23.000The Harris administration will recognize Puerto Rico as a state.
00:17:27.000Repeating that, leaning in on that, will terrify swing voters, and it should, because it's true.
00:17:34.000President Trump needs to bypass Joe Biden, and it will upset Joe Biden, it'll irritate him, and it'll make him say something that he otherwise would not say.
00:17:49.000Look, this holiday season, more people will be mailing stuff than ever before.
00:17:53.000They're mailing things all over the place.
00:17:55.000That means the post office is going to be busy.
00:19:33.000If you go too hard against someone that is not running for the presidency but connected to Joe Biden, it will get sympathy votes both for Joe and for Hunter.
00:19:42.000That's what happened in the first debate when President Trump went hard after Hunter in a moment where he where the blood was definitely flowing and it did not pull well, it did not react well.
00:19:53.000So, the correct framing of how President Donald Trump is able to talk about Hunter Biden must be directly correlated with my second point that I made about foreign policy.
00:20:03.000As President Donald Trump is taking victory lap after victory lap on the peace deals, on the canceling of the Iran deal and holding China accountable, President Trump must then say, based on all public information we have, Joe Biden is a compromised candidate.
00:20:25.000New laptop emails that have come out and have been validated and corroborated that my opponent has not yet even said are inauthentic and has not commented on because he's called a lid on his campaign the last couple days shows that he was doing numerous business deals with his son while he was vice president,
00:20:47.000selling access to the White House, selling back end access to the State Department, selling access to meetings with the vice president, and completely contradicted himself.
00:21:00.000The president must not get too upset visibly about this.
00:21:06.000He should not call Joe Biden a criminal.
00:21:33.000Then Trump's microphone will be muted, and then Joe Biden has the opportunity to answer it.
00:21:37.000The wrong way to do the Hunter Biden thing is this.
00:21:40.000The wrong way would be: Hunter Biden's a crackhead, you're a terrible father, you are a terrible student, you guys are both criminals, and everyone is criminal for not talking about it.
00:21:50.000That is the incorrect way to handle this.
00:21:54.000But if you do Hunter Biden right and you list the countries that have been revealed in these emails, Kazakhstan, the Chinese Communist Party, Ukraine, Iraq with his brother, all of these different deals that are coming out in this laptop revelations, that's how you do Hunter Biden right.
00:22:13.000And you use the term compromised candidate.
00:22:35.000Instead, for the swing voter in Scranton, Pennsylvania, that is getting massive amounts of propaganda sent to them by the Biden campaign, that is getting an overwhelming amount of literature sent to them by the Democrat Party.
00:22:52.000President Trump needs to persuade the hardworking middle-class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and in Erie, Pennsylvania, that is earning $65,000 a year, that it is wrong, it is dangerous, and it is immoral that Joe Biden parades around as the Scranton candidate while he acts as if he is the actual swamp candidate via his son.
00:23:39.000Republicans don't do this enough, and President Trump did this in 2016.
00:23:44.000President Donald Trump needs to bluntly ask for votes.
00:23:51.000He needs to look into the camera, not look at Joe Biden and not look at the moderate, not the moderator, and say, to black America out there, if you feel as if Democrats who have been running your cities and running your city councils,
00:24:06.000who have been saying one thing and doing another, that have contributed to failing public schools, that have been creating chaos on your streets, I ask you plainly for your vote.
00:24:22.000I ask you to trust a different type of candidate, someone who did deliver opportunity zones, historical black colleges and universities, someone who did create the lowest ever black unemployment rate, lowest ever black poverty rate, the first step back.
00:25:03.000They need to have the direct eyes into the camera and say, I ask you for your vote because I believe I've earned it the last four years.
00:25:12.000And I think you know that Democrats say one thing and they come around for election cycles and they do nothing.
00:25:19.000I've already done all these things for the black community.
00:25:21.000And now I humbly ask you to trust me with your vote.
00:25:25.000If President Donald Trump can win 10, 12, 15% of the black vote, he wins this entire election in a landslide.
00:25:36.000We are already seeing polling that is reflecting and voter registration that is reflecting that President Donald Trump is on pace to do historically well with black voters in this country.
00:25:47.000With 70 to 80 to 100 million people that will be watching on Thursday, with no other competing sports, with no other real competing prime time television events, it is more important than ever that President Trump just leaves it out there.
00:26:04.000Say, I want to win your trust again, and I will never forget it if you invest with your vote in this candidacy and this presidency.
00:26:17.000Ask for the vote for black voters and Hispanic voters in particular, because I really believe, based on all the data that I have in front of me, that that could be one of the major differences and winning strategies for the president.
00:26:32.000Number six, when the Chinese coronavirus gets mentioned, President Donald Trump has to lean in on the human cost of the lockdowns amongst Democrats, liberals, and swing voters.
00:26:46.000It has become widely accepted, and it has become very popular, is one way to say it, but it has become the conventional wisdom now amongst swing voters and suburban voters that these lockdowns have done more harm than good.
00:27:05.000They have only delayed the inevitable.
00:27:10.000They temporarily stunted the spread and then only accelerated it as soon as we got back to real life.
00:27:16.000We have lost more young people in California to suicide than to the Chinese coronavirus.
00:27:22.000Alcoholism, depression, self-harm have all gone up dramatically.
00:27:28.000Over 100,000 small businesses have gone under since last spring, and we're on pace for another 100,000 to go under this fall.
00:27:37.000The rich have gotten richer and middle-class families have struggled.
00:27:40.000President Donald Trump should put himself on the correct side, like he did with Savannah Guthrie, as being smart, being brave, being wise, being safe, but not being afraid.
00:28:00.000It is not based in learning from our mistakes.
00:28:02.000When you've lost more young people to self-harm and suicide than from the actual virus, maybe we should admit something foolish is happening here.
00:28:10.000And President Donald Trump is absolutely on the correct side of this.
00:28:15.000Whereas Joe Biden will say we're going to lock the country down again and run to the hills.
00:28:45.000It has not been victimless because everyone knows someone that is now more addicted to drugs, alcohol, self-harm than before the lockdowns.
00:28:57.000And President Donald Trump has to take the moral high ground when it comes to reopening our country because a safe and seamless reopening to America is a winning issue.
00:29:08.000Despite what the activist media might tell you, that lockdowns are the only way, the American people actually want a safe, reliable, brave, and wise reopening of America.
00:29:21.000The lockdowns have grown largely out of favor in the American people for good reason because they have had no scientific utility whatsoever, epidemiological utility, to actually preventing the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:29:45.000Entrepreneurs want a chance to take risks in the marketplace.
00:29:48.000And President Trump, he must make the argument that the human cost, if we care about people, has been unacceptable.
00:29:58.000And Joe Biden stands as the lockdown candidate.
00:30:01.000I stand as the wise and brave and reopening candidate to get us back to normal life.
00:30:07.000And this is changing in real time, by the way.
00:30:09.000Two months ago, the lockdowns were viewed much more favorably than they are today.
00:30:15.000And despite the persistent and relentless fear-mongering by the activist media, the American people, the swing voters, the muscular class, the middle class, they are exhausted and having to wear a mask when they shower, wearing a mask when they get in an Uber, wearing a mask when they're 25 feet away from somebody, wearing a mask in between bites when Gavin Newsom tells them that the top-down edicts, the micro-tyranny,
00:30:44.000the ruling class wishes, the power class must be challenged.
00:30:48.000There is pent-up frustration amongst normal people in this country, where Joe Biden represents the wealthy few and the elites that can survive another nine months, another nine years of lockdowns.
00:31:00.000Normal people want their life back, and they will vote in huge numbers for a president that harmonizes with that message.
00:31:08.000The human cost of the lockdowns, President Trump must lean in on.
00:31:13.000And it was something the activist media mocked him about.
00:31:16.000Oh, who's to say that suicides will go up?
00:31:40.000They're wearing them when they work out.
00:31:41.000They're wearing them when they're running.
00:31:43.000They're wearing them when they're editing.
00:31:45.000That's because the new everyday E25 earbuds are the best ones yet.
00:31:48.000Six hours of playtime, seamless, Bluetooth pairing, more base, a more compact design, noise-isolating fit.
00:31:54.000The company was co-founded by a bunch of people that I don't like mentioning anymore because they're not very good people, but anyway, it's a good product.
00:33:02.000President Donald Trump can win the economic argument and win the election if he becomes the middle-class warrior, if he becomes the defender of the muscular class.
00:33:14.000People already trust him on the economy.
00:33:16.000His numbers will be boosted by five to seven points.
00:33:19.000If he says, I will be unafraid to tackle corporate tyrants when they rear their head, Joe Biden is the corporatist candidate.
00:33:27.000Joe Biden is funded by the richest people in this country.
00:33:29.000Joe Biden will win the richest counties in America.
00:33:32.000Joe Biden will represent the multi-trillion dollar tech companies.
00:33:37.000And Joe Biden is the corporatist candidate.
00:33:42.000Joe Biden is not the middle-class worker candidate.
00:33:44.000Joe Biden is not the entrepreneurial candidate.
00:33:46.000Joe Biden is not the people that work at their hands candidate.
00:33:49.000Joe Biden is the candidate that represents the needs, wants, and desires of an entrenched power class that call the shots for the transnational corporations that have their $70 million Gulfstream private jets at their disposal at any time.
00:34:11.000President Trump is not funded by the billionaire class.
00:34:13.000President Trump is funded by small dollar donors.
00:34:16.000It is Joe Biden that has received more contribution from the billionaires than any other candidate in recent history.
00:34:23.000Mike Bloomberg is spending $2 million a day in Florida alone to try to win the state for Joe Biden.
00:34:31.000So President Trump must lean in on the low-tax, middle-class focus and also on healthcare.
00:34:38.000Talk about health care transparency, price transparency.
00:34:41.000My good friend Cynthia Fisher is doing amazing work on health care price transparency so that hospitals should be forced to show their prices.
00:34:50.000That hospitals should not disclose their prices from their consumers.
00:34:55.000Healthcare price transparency is critical to a market.
00:34:59.000And President Trump signed the executive order pushing for health care transparency and price transparency.
00:35:06.000The economy is the number one issue according to voters, and the economy is the number one issue they trust the president most on.
00:35:14.000Leaning in on how the president had the lowest ever black, Latino, Asian American, and disabled unemployment is a winner.
00:35:21.000Doing so and challenging Joe Biden and saying Joe Biden is about to say that he had a good economy.
00:35:27.000Know that our last three years prior to these lockdowns was the harvest that allowed us to survive the nine months of the famine and the shutdown.
00:35:37.000Because President Donald Trump's policies when it came to the economy created the greatest economy in American history, and we will have it again.
00:36:14.000I could say a billion-dollar smile, actually.
00:36:17.000Even the woman who said she did not like him in the debate, Town Hall, NBC, Savannah Guthrie, the prosecutor, even the woman that came up, she said, you have the most amazing smile.
00:36:28.000President Donald Trump should be the happier, more positive, optimistic candidate.
00:36:34.000Joe Biden is a dark, depressing, confused, antagonistic candidate.
00:36:41.000President Donald Trump should lean in on a better tomorrow.
00:36:44.000The positivity runs in the blood of the American spirit.
00:36:48.000President Donald Trump should be unafraid to talk about tomorrow will be a brighter day in America.
00:36:56.000Smiling, being almost self-deprecating, positive.
00:37:02.000And anytime he gets insulted, say, whatever, Joe, people don't believe that.
00:37:06.000Then get back to a message where we can rise higher, where we can, as a country, become an aspirational nature, an aspirational country, I should say.
00:37:16.000Everything that Democrats believe is rooted in the oppression Olympics.
00:37:21.000Everything that President Trump believes in is aspirational in nature.
00:37:26.000That we can climb higher, that we can be stronger.
00:37:33.000When a candidate smiles like Obama did, it's hard to beat.
