00:00:04.000Very important episode about the framing of the midterm elections and why the establishment actually wants Republicans to lose if they can't control them.
00:00:12.000I love hearing from you, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:16.000I want to thank those of you that support the Charlie Kirk show that allow us to hire more staff, speak our mind freely, work late hours at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:27.000That is charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:34.000Thank you, George from Parker, Colorado, Linda from Utah, Cheryl from Colorado, Kathleen from California, Chad from Georgia, Jennifer from California, Stewart from Iowa, Lisa from Kentucky, Damien from Washington, Sandra from Florida, Eric from New Hampshire, Terry from Arizona, Gina from Pennsylvania, Kendra from Missouri, and Kathy from Oklahoma.
00:01:33.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:56.000Kerry Lake has won the Arizona primary for governor.
00:01:59.000MAGA candidates across the country are winning their primaries.
00:02:03.000This Republican Party is a grassroots party, ready to fight, ready to govern, ready to improve people's lives, ready to put their citizens first.
00:02:11.000But the pressure is now going to be on.
00:02:13.000And as we warned early in the week, the midterm elections are all but a certain thing.
00:02:38.000The generic congressional vote, according to Ras Musen reports, Republicans only lead by three points.
00:02:44.000Whereas a couple months ago, Republicans led by 15 points.
00:02:49.000We're seeing one race in particular that we endorsed in Washington.
00:02:54.000Joe Kent is only down by 1.8 points, with lots of ballots still to be counted.
00:03:01.000Again, Kerry Lake, Blake Masters, all won in Arizona.
00:03:06.000However, as we look towards the midterms, Republicans only have a 0.1 lead if you average all of the generic ballot polls, a 0.1 point lead, barely taking back the House of Representatives, barely.
00:03:19.000And the U.S. Senate is a complete coin toss.
00:03:21.000It shouldn't be that way with inflation, open borders, CRT, wokeism, anti-Americanism, war on American energy.
00:04:16.000Now, before we go any further, I want to encourage you and I want to thank you.
00:04:21.000After the nonsense and the shenanigans, the corner cutting and the mules in the 2020 election, you very easily could have given up and not voted.
00:04:34.000But I think a lot of you showed up to vote in Arizona, in Missouri, in Michigan, and you said, look, I'm going to do voting.
00:04:52.000Despite all of the delays, the MAGA candidates won.
00:04:58.000There is not a good reason to give up just because there are major structural problems with our elections.
00:05:05.000In fact, they would love to have you give up.
00:05:09.000They would love to have you say, what's the point in voting?
00:05:11.000You must overwhelm the system where it is not on the margins, but it is a massive, massive blowout.
00:05:19.000So where we are right now is whether it be John Gibbs beating Peter Meyer in western Michigan, whether it be Liz Cheney on the verge of losing in Wyoming, the MAGA movement has taken over the Republican Party, and it's not just Trump.
00:05:33.000It is a new philosophy, putting our citizens first, securing our border, being prudent in how we're approaching foreign policy.
00:06:32.000Grassroots conservatives turn out in big numbers for establishment Republicans at times because they say it's better than not to have them in office.
00:06:46.000Whereas the establishment Republicans, they will withhold their support largely if there's a candidate that what?
00:08:04.000How many times do we have to prove that thesis wrong?
00:08:10.000If you have a charismatic, articulate, wise candidate that understands the issues, they will win if they stand on principle.
00:08:24.000Myra Flores won in the Rio Grande Valley, being a strong border hawk conservative, not pandering to the middle, but instead holding the line.
00:08:38.000MAGA candidates swept the entire state of Arizona.
00:08:42.000MAGA candidates swept in Missouri, swept in Michigan.
00:08:48.000So what does that mean now going into November?
00:08:53.000We must acknowledge suppression polls, suppression polls.
00:08:55.000We must acknowledge we're going to be outspent, and we have to get to work because this right here, this midterm election, can be one of the most consequential, not just for the country.
00:09:48.000They're going to do whatever it takes to help make that happen.
00:09:50.000But now we need all hands on deck, everybody.
00:09:53.000That means tuning into this program, tuning into War Room with Bannon.
00:09:56.000That means knocking on doors, registering voters, giving the money that you can.
00:10:00.000We cannot outsource our activism because guess what?
00:10:03.000The traditional Republican establishment infrastructure is going to sit this one out.
00:10:08.000In fact, they might actively help some of the Democrats.
00:10:12.000They would prefer a Democrat that they can work with than a grassroots conservative candidate that actually might make meaningful change occur or happen.
00:10:24.000Look, there are food shortages happening all across the world right now.
00:11:06.000They're the nation's largest preparedness company, and their four-week food kit contains enough meals for one person for nearly a month with 2,000 calories a day.
00:11:16.000Get one kit for each person in your family.
00:11:18.000There's no limit to how many you can order.
00:11:19.000Just make sure you have this food and you need it, which could be soon.
00:12:03.000Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:12:05.000So look, there is this movement that is unfolding in front of us across the country in every single corner where the establishment is not going to be comfortable with what the America first MAGA candidates might do if they get elected.
00:12:25.000So someone asked us, freedom at charliekirk.com, what should we do to make the difference, Charlie?
00:12:46.000Jeff, Sue, Carlton, whatever, 10 people, and you follow up with it.
00:12:50.000Now, if every single person in this audience did this, if every single person did the 10 people, and you owned it, by the way, it should really be 25 or 50, all of a sudden, you multiply your impact and physically check off the list when you confirm they vote.
00:14:58.000And so what Arizona should show you with Carrie Lake and with Blake Masters should be a shot in the arm, a dose of hope that even though our systems have not yet been properly fixed, where we want to make it impossible to cheat, but easy to vote, as Carrie Lake says, that there is still an amazing amount of hope if we get engaged and get involved.
00:15:47.000It's going to take the listing of the people that you get out to vote.
00:15:51.000I mean, I know people that have 700 contacts in their phone, and they just text them all on election day, a couple days before, like, hey, did you vote?
00:16:09.000We have to do everything we possibly can to help our grassroots preferred candidates understand the uniparty, registering new voters, becoming a precinct committee person, owning your precinct.
00:16:26.000All of this stuff matters because the money will not be there.

00:17:12.000I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote.
00:17:14.000We've had uniquely American common sense since 1776, but now we're in the age of common nonsense.
00:17:21.000Today's common nonsense comes from the left's radical agenda.
00:17:24.000Inflation has reached a 40-year high, and we're headed into a recession.
00:17:29.000If you have common sense, the causes are obvious: extreme environmental policies, massive government spending, and woke fund managers.
00:17:37.000The left has spent years trying to kill domestic fuel production, and now energy prices are skyrocketing.
00:17:42.000But instead of talking to American energy companies, Joe Biden is in Saudi Arabia begging Middle Eastern dictators to increase supply.
00:17:51.000When the far left and woke corporations push extremist environmental policies, they have serious consequences.
00:17:58.000According to research from the Heritage Foundation, American families have lost $6,800 per year due to inflation, and we'll all feel that.
00:18:07.000When government gets bigger, our paycheck gets smaller.
00:18:11.000And inflation is the inevitable result of massive government spending.
00:18:15.000But inflation doesn't just affect the dollars you spend, it also affects the dollars you invest by destroying the purchasing power of your dollar.
00:18:22.000The Wall Street Journal recently exposed how so-called ESG funds cost between five and 15 times as much as other funds, but perform worse.
00:18:32.000This is why secondvote.com scores hundreds of companies on whether they support the leftist extreme environmental agenda.
00:18:39.000For 10 years, Second Vote has been looking out for conservative consumers helping you to shop your values.
00:18:44.000I'm Rebecca Hatfield reminding you that your first vote is at the ballot box, but your second vote is with your wallet.

00:19:18.000All right, so I want to get into this a little bit deeper.
00:19:22.000So MAGA energy is ascendant because it's focused on voters and focused on the people.
00:19:29.000It's in the weeds of the grassroots of politics, which is going to require an all-hands-on-deck type strategy.
00:19:37.000And one of the states that this is going to be decided in of who really runs the Republican Party is the beautiful, the wonderful, the majestic state of Wyoming.
00:20:58.000They've controlled the Republican Party for quite some time.
00:21:01.000Now, what's so interesting about Dick Cheney is that prior to Donald Trump, Dick Cheney was the most hated person on the American right of the last 30 years.
00:21:15.000If you think they hate Donald Trump, yeah, they probably hate him more now, but it was close.
00:21:21.000If you go back to 2003, 4, 5, and 6, the venom towards Dick Cheney.
00:21:35.000Now, that was all before the regime media realized that Dick Cheney and the Cheney family represents the Uniparty and that we actually like Dick Cheney because of how much we hate Donald Trump.
00:21:49.000So this primary is unfolding in the state of Wyoming.
00:21:54.000And it will be a question whether or not the grassroots show up and whether or not Liz Cheney gets displaced.
00:22:18.000And now Dick Cheney, former Vice President of the United States and former congressman from the state of Wyoming, has released a new advertisement in support of Liz Cheney.
00:22:29.000We are talking about how the Republican establishment would rather have Democrats that they can work with or control than Republicans that might actually govern in the benefit of their citizens.
00:22:40.000This is an extraordinary political advertisement, unlike anything I've seen in recent memory.
00:22:47.000In this advertisement, Dick Cheney, in support of his daughter, Liz Cheney, says that Donald Trump, in the 246-year history of America, is the greatest threat to our republic.
00:23:05.000Greater than those that argued for the Confederacy, greater than the articulate yet sinister defender of slavery, John C. Calhoun, greater than Timothy McVeigh, greater than the Unabomber.
00:23:24.000Dick Cheney argues the greatest threat to our Republic, and he doesn't even qualify it domestically or internationally.
00:23:30.000He just says the greatest threat is Donald Trump.
00:23:35.000Now, that should send a chill down your spine because what he's really saying is this is a declaration of war.
00:23:42.000This is how you talk about Saddam Hussein.
00:23:44.000In fact, we have a piece of tape to show the parallels of how he talked about Saddam and how he talks about Donald Trump.
00:23:51.000What Dick Cheney is saying here, I want you to listen very carefully, is he's saying that we basically should be willing to use all the instruments of government power to displace Donald Trump and his followers from participating in the civic process.
00:24:07.000But then there is a not-so-veiled threat at the end of it.
00:24:13.000I want you to listen carefully to this Dick Cheney ad, and it makes you wonder: does Dick Cheney know something privately that we should also know about maybe some looming action coming against Donald Trump this fall?
00:24:26.000This is an advertisement being run in the state of Wyoming trying to prop up the floundering congressional campaign of Liz Cheney, Play Cut 60.
00:24:35.000In our nation's 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.
00:24:43.000He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.
00:24:56.000I know it, he knows it, and deep down, I think most Republicans know it.
00:25:01.000Lynn and I are so proud of Liz for standing up for the truth, doing what's right, honoring her oath to the Constitution, when so many in our party are too scared to do so.
00:25:54.000Is Dick Cheney showing his cards that the January 6th Committee, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, plans to indict and convict Donald Trump before the 2024 election?
00:26:53.000Believe it or not, that scene of Star Wars is identical to what we're living through right now.
00:26:57.000Darth Vader says, it is pointless to resist, my son.
00:27:00.000Basically saying resistance is futile, which is a line actually from Star Trek with the Borg.
00:27:07.000Then Palpatine says, your friends are going into a trap, very similar to Dick Cheney's advertisement saying that Donald Trump will not be able to run again.
00:27:19.000And my daughter will be successful in doing so.
00:27:22.000Remember this piece from The Atlantic?
00:27:26.000Remembering why Americans loathe Dick Cheney.
00:27:29.000An entire piece talking about why Americans hate Dick Cheney.
00:27:33.000Talks about the war in Iraq, talks about torture, illegally spying on innocent Americans.
00:27:38.000Halliburton talks about Ahmad Kalabi, talks about how he was instrumental in detailing innocence for years on end.
00:27:46.000You see, the left hated Dick Cheney, loathed him, made him the recipient of their jokes and their late-night comedy until someone who is an even greater threat to their power came along.
00:28:00.000You see, they hated Dick Cheney because he was in charge and they weren't, but they didn't hate Dick Cheney on ideological reasons.
00:28:07.000Dick Cheney was an overseer of a neoliberal, neoconservative, rule with an iron fist agenda of invade the world and invite the world.
00:28:16.000Dick Cheney was a proud advocate of corporate handouts and cronyism.
00:28:42.000Dick Cheney is the one that says Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our republic, even though Donald Trump was the only president in our lifetime recently not to start a new war.
00:28:52.000Probably be why Dick Cheney hates him so much.
00:28:56.000Invading sovereign countries just kind of runs in the blood in the Cheney bloodline.
00:29:01.000Now, you heard how Dick Cheney in that clip talked about Donald Trump.
00:29:06.000It reminds me of how Dick Cheney talked about Saddam Hussein.
00:29:10.000By the way, there's a debate going on, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:30:31.000Why would he be telling the truth now?
00:30:34.000It's MAGA versus the machine and all of the industries, power that is threatened.
00:30:43.000They're all consolidating right now because they're very worried that the people are now finally going to be in charge of the Republican Party, that you have a voice for the first time in a long time.
00:31:13.000In this email here, Charlie read that Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is backing Lisa Murkowski for reelection.
00:31:20.000This makes your point of MAGA versus the Republican machine.
00:31:23.000Yes, you are going to see this in every corner.
00:31:26.000You are going to see grassroots candidates that have the support of the people, but not the money, start to get support of the Republican establishment where it matters most.
00:31:37.000And one of the issues that I know a lot of you share, the one issues I have that I know a lot of you share with me, is that the Republican Party needs to not just win elections, but govern.
00:31:52.000I believe firmly one of the reasons why the generic congressional ballot is tightening is because of unfettered money being spent in Ukraine, wide open borders, gun control, and the Republican Party not doing what is necessary to actually represent their voters.
00:32:14.000So, for example, in Cut 56, CNN had Republican County Board.
00:32:21.000Republican Maricopa County Board of Supervisor Bill Gates, not to be confused with the potential depopulation advocate Bill Gates, former from Microsoft, same name, different guy, on last night, warning that the future of democracy is at stake.
00:32:37.000Well, there's a lot at stake, and I would say it's the future of the Arizona Republican Party, if not the future of this democracy here in the state of Arizona.
00:32:47.000Look, I talked to the lawyer who headed up the election day operations for Arizona Republican Party yesterday.
00:33:34.000For bad actors, they're able to do things that are in the shadows that would otherwise be deceitful and unethical.
00:33:41.000And by the way, Bill Gates says that after Pinal County literally ran out of ballots and the head of the Pinal County elections had to resign because Republican voters would be turned away.
00:33:53.000By the way, Stephen Richer and Bill Gates are welcome to my program anytime where they can try to explain to me the data and the evidence, irrefutable data and evidence found in the movie 2000 Mules, showed that there was a ballot trafficking, ballot harvesting operation that happened in Maricopa County in 2020, and they are welcome to come to my program anytime and tell me what's the investigation they've done into that.
00:34:18.000Why do they use it to arrest January 6th defendants, but we can't use it to actually find mules in Arizona?
00:34:24.000Why is it that at a basic anecdotal survey of people in a room, when you ask, hey, did you get a ballot you didn't request, nearly half the hands go up?
00:34:35.000What are the signature verification threats, signature verification thresholds in Arizona?
00:34:40.000Why does it take multiple days to try to get ballots from one place to the other?
00:34:42.000Why did you destroy precinct voting, Bill Gates, and you go to these vote processing centers?
00:34:47.000You see, they don't want to answer those questions.
00:34:49.000Instead, Bill Gates and Stephen Richard, who call themselves Republicans, say the future of democracy is at stake.
00:34:57.000And instead of actually looking internally and looking in the mirror, maybe they don't trust us because we're a group of buffoons and we're not doing our job.
00:35:05.000And every other state in the country can get their results the night of, and it takes multiple days.
00:35:09.000By the way, all the ballots still haven't been counted.
00:35:18.000And yet they go on CNN and say that we're a threat to democracy.
00:35:22.000Actually, you are because you have more time to go on cable television to go make Maricopa look more like Moscow while ballots are flying all over the place and people have their trust eroded.
00:35:33.000You see, you know what leaders do when followers start to not have trust?
00:35:38.000You look them in the eye, you tell the truth, and you build up their trust with facts, information, clarity, and transparency, not condemnation and insults.
00:35:50.000What real leaders do when they have nothing to hide, they would invite the opposition in and show them exactly what's going on.
00:35:56.000In fact, it's the opposite that's happening.
