00:00:59.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:58.000You see, the Democrats typically are focused on politics.
00:02:04.000They're very good at focusing on politics.
00:02:07.000And they've been so focused on politics over the last couple of years, primarily with their fascination, their pathological obsession with Donald Trump, they cannot stop talking about him.
00:02:17.000But recently, I've seen a little bit of a pivot.
00:02:19.000I've seen the Democrats actually realize that this is more than Donald Trump, that Donald Trump, yes, started the movement.
00:02:24.000Donald Trump articulated the grievances and the concerns of the American citizenry.
00:02:31.000But this is no longer just about politics, no longer just about who executes the laws.
00:02:38.000And Democrats that are a little bit ahead of the curve are starting to articulate this.
00:02:45.000I believe Gavin Newsom will be the nominee in 2024.
00:02:49.000I'd love your thoughts, by the way, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:02:52.000We've made a series of predictions here.
00:02:54.000The Department of Justice and the FBI, we believe, will indict Hunter Biden after the election, right before Republicans take over Congress as a way to try to, meaning get sworn into Congress, as a way to try to say, hey, see, we're balanced.
00:03:06.000I think that Hunter Biden has a indictment looming sometime in late November, early December.
00:03:10.000I do not think Merrick Garland will make it much longer.
00:03:14.000And I think that Joe Biden will make an announcement sometime next year that because of personal issues, he always just wanted to serve one term to heal the nation and that he's going to open up the Democrat primary.
00:03:25.000Now, all this is speculation, but we have lots of evidence to show this.
00:03:55.000Hunter Biden will plea down to community service.
00:03:57.000Joe Biden will then be able to pardon Hunter Biden on the way out, and Joe Biden will have been the implemented president.
00:04:04.000He would have been the person that was in the basement, didn't campaign, mass mail in ballots, Zuckerboxes, Dropboxes, Center for Technology and Civic Life, signature verification issues, the plot that overtook the 2020 election, as Molly Ball wrote in Time magazine via Mark Elias, and Joe Biden will be a bridge candidate.
00:04:26.000Joe Biden has always looked at himself as a bridge president.
00:04:30.000We've called him a bridge president for a reason because he looks at himself as a bridge from traditional America that protects and preserves the Constitution.
00:04:37.000I'm sorry, that honors the Constitution, that protects our natural God-given rights, and a transitionary phase, a transitory phase, they love that word, into a non-Western country, into something despotic, authoritarian, that does not respect separation of powers, checks and balances, consent of the governed, into something that is far-reaching and distant from what America should be, not one rooted in free enterprise, trade, voluntary transaction.
00:05:07.000They talk about inflation being transitory.
00:05:08.000They talk about gender being transitory.
00:05:10.000They talk about energy being transitory, that we have to transition.
00:05:14.000But what they're really transitioning is our civilization.
00:05:17.000We're in the midst of a civilizational transition.
00:05:19.000They're trying to change the framework, change the structure, change the philosophy, change the ideas that undergird the entire civilization.
00:05:29.000And so I remain committed that Joe Biden will not run in 2024.
00:05:33.000I'd love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:05:36.000Maybe you see something we're missing, or maybe you have some insight that we don't have.
00:05:39.000But therefore, the question is, then who?
00:05:41.000Well, it seems as if there all might be a spirited Democrat primary.
00:05:46.000However, I think that there is a good chance that Gavin Newsom will run for office and will become the nominee.
00:06:08.000He's been taking acting classes, you could tell, from DiCaprio and Brad Pitt with the pregnant pauses and the elongated, let's just say, focus on certain words.
00:06:21.000And so let's just focus on Gavin Newsom for a second because Gavin Newsom made a very interesting comment over the weekend where he decided to use his platform, his interview, at the Texas Tribune event.
00:06:42.000The Texas Tribune far left-wing rag, they actually did a pretty good job of interviewing Liz Cheney and asked an appropriate follow-up question.
00:06:48.000And then they had some sort of left-wing activist that I think fills in for Rachel Maddow now interviewing Gavin Newsom.
00:06:53.000Gavin Newsom has a cult-like following amongst, let's just say, upper-middle-class, not very happy suburban women.
00:07:01.000Upper middle class, not very happy suburban women are big fans of Gavin Newsom.
00:07:21.000I don't think he's as articulate as he thinks he is because I don't think he's ever had to go up against a true rigor of a Republican opposition.
00:07:27.000So I just think his muscles are not really built for a four-quarter fight or a 13, 14, 15-round boxing match, if you will.
00:07:35.000I don't think Gavin Newsom will be able to withstand the conservative media, such as this program, Bannon Tucker and others, going after him because he's been nothing but lauded and praised at his entire life, from mayor of San Francisco eventually to become governor of California.
00:07:50.000Whenever he's challenged, for example, when Adam Corolla challenged him, the great Adam Corolla, friend of this program, who we don't agree with everything, Adam, politically, but he's funny.
00:08:11.000Whenever you think that there is not an escape hatch, Gavin Newsom finds one.
00:08:15.000So Gavin Newsom was being interviewed this weekend.
00:08:17.000And I find it interesting for a couple of reasons.
00:08:19.000I don't just find it interesting because I believe he will be the Democrat nominee.
00:08:23.000Of course, we can end up being wrong about that, but I'm pretty certain that Gavin Newsom is being properly trial ballooned this, and he's making the proper, he's making the appropriate denunciations and refusals.
00:08:34.000Is Gavin Newsom in his interview mentions what is the true threat to the Republic?
00:08:50.000It used to be about removing Donald Trump.
00:08:52.000We just got to get him out of office and everything will be better.
00:08:54.000But now it's about domestic violent extremists, of which they can't articulate or tell you who they are.
00:08:59.000Or now it's about the entire half of the country.
00:09:02.000And so they have to create new enemies, tyrants that are not able to run on their record for eliminating homelessness or improving people's lives or raising wages.
00:09:24.000Gavin Newsom, in an interview over the weekend, said that he is more worried about Tucker Carlson than Donald Trump.
00:09:32.000Now, that very well might be a cheap talking point.
00:09:36.000That might be something that was workshop or rehearsed, but it's very instructive, I believe.
00:09:40.000It's instructive in the sense that Gavin Newsom, the governor of the nation's largest state and wealthiest state, is fixating on a cable television host, the most popular cable television host, that draws three to four million people every single night.
00:10:05.000And I think that is something now the Democrats are going to latch on to more.
00:10:08.000And this is not the first time they've done this.
00:10:10.000They did this when they thought that Facebook was the reason that Donald Trump won in 2016.
00:10:14.000They are now very worried that the distribution of information, you being able to consume information absent censors or people trying to silence you, is a massive threat.
00:10:25.000Gavin Newsom goes out of his way to not talk about how his state has become a complete and total third world country.
00:10:33.000It's become Brazil with high crime and the elites are doing very well.
00:10:37.000A very well-oiled machine of a technocratic Silicon Valley technological class, a well-paid government service class, and a permanent underclass that is addicted to government benefits.
00:11:00.000Too often we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.
00:11:09.000For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.
00:11:20.000Hillsdale College is weighing in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as The Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of History of the Constitution.

00:12:25.000The state of Washington Senate race is a statistical tie between the Marxist Patty Murray and Tiffany Smiley.
00:12:33.000By the way, I'm going to try to change my language and hold me accountable to this unless it is necessary to say I'm going to try to describe Democrats as Marxists.
00:13:35.000Pandering to some big business and giving them handouts, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson Johnson, while also believing in cultural Marxism, of social relativity, of transgenderism.
00:14:29.000Gavin Newsom saying that Republicans are the ruthless ones, and the Democrat Party needs to assert itself more aggressively, as if the indictment of Bannon, Navarro, raiding O'Keefe's home, raiding Giuliani's home, raiding Trump's home, raiding Catholic pro-life activists' home with 30 SWAT members, going after entire half of the country, spying them and calling them domestic terrorists because they just go up to stroke.
00:14:54.000The school board meetings is not aggressive enough, according to Gavin Newsom.
00:15:22.000Well, that's the way a lot of people in the Democrat Party feel.
00:15:25.000They do not believe in the rule of law, presumption of innocence.
00:15:30.000No, Gavin Newsom is articulating a once-fringe belief in the Democrat Party that leg irons, handcuffs, surveillance, calling half the country terrorists and fascists, is not just necessary, it's helpful for them politically.
00:15:46.000He's saying that we're the ones that are fighting hard.
00:15:49.000I got some news for you, Gavin Newsom.
00:15:51.000Republicans have not even started to fight.
00:15:53.000We are just waking up to the idea of beginning to fight.
00:15:59.000We are just the beginning inches of what the possible power of the conservative movement could be through education, culturally, religiously, economically, financially, entrepreneurially.
00:16:13.000We're finally realizing that, okay, the left has taken over everything like a virus contagion via the progressives, the administrative state, the post-modernists, the post-structuralists.
00:16:23.000They've infected every corner of the American society.
00:16:45.000What Gavin Newsom is worried about, which is why he's trying to rally his troops to fight more to stunt our movement, he's worried that finally Republicans and conservatives are willing to meet the left on their own terrain, that we're willing to play offense, that we're willing to challenge them.
00:17:02.000And that's why he hates Tucker Carlson so much, because Tucker is charismatic.
00:17:34.000But since when has that ever been a problem for the American left?
00:17:36.000They do whatever they want to try to seize more power, even if it means purging the Supreme Court of its most experienced justices.
00:17:43.000To no one's surprise, their new court purging scheme would remove long-serving, amazing justices like the super brilliant Clarence Thomas and the courageous Samuel Alito.
00:17:53.000They would then replace these new justices with a rubber stamp and their radical agenda.
00:17:57.000Since Democrats are working hard to pass court purging with term limits, we need to work even harder to stop it, or the Supreme Court, as we know it, will never be the same.
00:18:04.000If you care about the integrity of the Supreme Court and don't want to see it taken over by political hacks, go to supremecoup.com.
00:18:17.000I remember when Obama went after Rush Limbaugh.
00:18:21.000They know that the real power is in the people and the communicators and the narrative of the people.
00:18:27.000So Gavin Newsom decided to spend some of his commentary in saying, look, I'm not worried about Trump as much as I'm worried about Tucker Carlson.
00:19:35.000I mean, if Trump runs in 2024, which it looks like it'd be an inevitability that he's going to run in 2024, or if it's DeSantis or whatever, you look at the average Republican candidate.
00:19:44.000You take Mastriano, you take Kerry Lake, you take Blake Masters, you take Herschel Walker, you take JD Vance.
00:19:51.000They are far and away more articulate than Gavin Newsom.
00:20:22.000But they understand the power of the narrative.
00:20:25.000As they're trying to execute a civilizational transition, they're trying to take America from one thing, one form, into something completely different.
00:20:35.000And Joe Biden has played his role already as the bridge, as the transition, as the overseer of that transitory phase.
00:20:41.000But they're very worried that someone's going to call them out on their nonsense.
00:20:45.000You see, Tucker is a conduit to the truth.
00:21:00.000And so Newsom and many others know that as long as there is a drumbeat that they can't cancel, as long as there's a drumbeat like Laura Ingram and many others that they can't eliminate, as long as there's AM radio out there, like the great one, Levin, and so many of these other colleagues and people that are in the fight for liberty, then it's decentralized.
00:21:30.000Newsom is trying to trial balloon the eventual censorship and the eventual silencing of the entire right of the country.
00:21:41.000Do you see how it broadens from it's Donald Trump who's a threat to the Republic or a threat to democracy, which of course we're not a democracy, which the wonderful Hillsdale College educates very well on as we're here in Hillsdale, Michigan, to all of a sudden it broadens.
00:21:56.000It broadens to the people that are merely calling out their nonsense.
00:22:18.000But secondly, it's interesting because what they're trying to say is that we're going to be the examining light of nefarious activity.
00:22:29.000And as soon as someone even just puts a little bit of examination onto one of these people, whether it be Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsom, they immediately have to attack the messenger instantaneously.
00:22:50.000I believe Tucker Carlson is the heir and has inherited the power, the audience, and the impact, at least for now, that Rush Limbaugh enjoyed for 20 years.
00:23:44.000What I can comment on is the fact that all decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don't have any place in the public discourse.
00:23:56.000Being part of a democracy involves argument and disagreements and debate, and we want you to be engaged, and there's a way to do it that doesn't involve you being demeaned and insulted.
00:24:17.000So that's Obama going after the great Rush Limbaugh after the Sandrew Fluck, Sandra Fluck controversy, which I don't need to relitigate the whole thing, where Limbaugh went after Sandra Fluck and then Cancel Culture and the nonsense went after Rush Limbaugh, including Barack Obama.
00:25:00.000The regime rests on the power of the narrative.
00:25:05.000They need a uniform drumbeat and just understand what happens when we are able to get the message out.
00:25:14.000Look at, for example, the reaction to the Chinese coronavirus, from the vaccine to the lockdowns to masks.
00:25:23.000How much longer would they have been able to continue to proliferate their tyranny if it wasn't for opposition media?
00:25:30.000And they're always talking about how we need protections for journalists and how journalists are the greatest thing ever, even though they never examine half the country.
00:25:38.000They never look into BLM and their shenanigans.
00:25:42.000They never look into any of that at all whatsoever.
00:25:44.000Instead, this is what they want the media to be.
00:25:47.000They want the media to be Donna Brazil, who might be a sweet woman, but I'll tell you, actually, I should rephrase that.
00:25:57.000I actually know she's not a sweet person.
00:25:58.000I'm trying to be nice, and I'm going to stop that.
00:27:04.000She's here to tell us what the midterms are about.
00:27:07.000Not about inflation, not about crime, not about the border.
00:27:12.000No, in fact, Jen Psaki says the following, play cut 18.
00:27:18.000Yeah, look, I think that Democrats, if the election is about who is the most extreme, as we saw Kevin McCarthy touch on there with Marjorie Taylor Greene, I'll say her name sitting over his left side, then they're going to win.
00:27:32.000If it is a referendum on the president, they will lose.
00:28:43.000And then Harry Reid and that group of criminals turned it into an unrecognizable union-dominated, culinary union-dominated nightmare.
00:28:54.000Every time they think that they can pull one off, every time conservatives think they got a chance, it just so happens enough ballots turn up right on the strip, unaccounted for, well, allegedly unaccounted for, and it just seems to slip away.
00:29:10.000Harry Reid won by 150 votes against John Ensign in 2000.
00:29:24.000Now, Republicans can win Senate races in Nevada.
00:29:28.000I believe his name was Dean Heller recently, was a senator from Nevada.
00:29:34.000And Adam Laxalt is shocking the world.
00:29:38.000Nevada has all of a sudden become this sleeper race where Democrats are almost beginning to expect a loss in the state of Nevada.
00:29:51.000So there's a couple things happening in Nevada.
00:29:53.000Number one, Governor Sisilak is one of the worst governors in America.
00:29:58.000He's a Democrat governor, and he has a lot of resentment brewing in Nevada because of how he inappropriately locked down the casino and gaming industry, how he went full Gestapo.
00:30:11.000A lot of people lost their livelihoods.
00:30:14.000A lot of people never got back to where they were.
00:30:16.000There is serious financial misery that is all over Clark County, all over Clark County, although Clark County is the biggest county in Nevada.
00:30:28.000And so the gaming industry in particular was just destroyed by Sisilak, which is a massive amount of jobs.
00:30:35.000Now, you know, casino gambling might not be your thing.
00:30:38.000The point is that it's an economic engine, and there's so many other things, so many other industries that are supported outside of just not casino gaming, restaurants, entertainment shows, plays, all sorts of different things, sporting events, conventions.
00:30:52.000A lot of stuff happens in Vegas outside of just the stereotypical stuff, which is this, by the way, it's a very depraved place in a certain sense, but so is every American city.
00:31:00.000And I think there's some wonderful people in Vegas, and I know them, and I have dear friends there.
00:31:04.000But they destroyed that industry inappropriately, unnecessarily.
00:31:32.000And so a candidate like Adam Laxalt, who quite honestly is very disciplined, run for office several times, not a lot you can attack Laxalt on.
00:31:46.000But the second thing, which is very, very important, and we have Adam Laxalt coming on the program this Thursday, is that Latinos in Nevada are defecting from Catherine Cortez-Masto in huge numbers.
00:32:02.000Now, I think Catherine Cortez-Masto is Hispanic.
00:32:05.000I'm just assuming based on her last name.
00:32:07.000So that's particularly interesting if this actually ends up playing out, that Laxalt very well might be able to beat someone who is Hispanic with Latinos defying a Hispanic candidate.
