In 1992, Ronald Reagan was elected President, and in 2016, Barack Obama was re-elected. What does that have to do with the upcoming mid-term elections in Michigan and elsewhere in the Rust Belt states?

00:01:49.000 Here, we have some great news to share today.
00:01:51.000 There's things happening.
00:01:52.000 That's right.
00:01:53.000 This week has been, it's been a tough week.
00:01:55.000 And yeah, we're going to get into the Speaker Johnson thing and we're going to get into the motion of AKAT and all that.
00:02:01.000 But it's time that we talk about some positive momentum in the state of Michigan.
00:02:09.000 We've been talking about how Michigan is bubbling up as a new battleground state.
00:02:15.000 But first, I want to take a step back.
00:02:18.000 In this country, it's a bit unusual compared to most countries and how we do elections.
00:02:22.000 We consistently have just two major parties, and almost all ideological debates get compressed into factions of these two parties.
00:02:30.000 This is not the case in most Western countries.
00:02:34.000 In Canada, for example, there are three major national parties, Conservatives, Liberals, and the new Democrat Party, Democratic Party.
00:02:41.000 There's also a regional Quebec Party.
00:02:43.000 In fact, when Justin Trudeau recently got re-elected as prime minister, he got 38% of the vote.
00:02:49.000 A plurality, not a majority.
00:02:52.000 In Britain, they have conservatives, labor, liberal democrats, and a whole bunch of regional parties.
00:02:57.000 In Germany, they have Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, Free Democrats, the Greens, the alternative for Germany.
00:03:04.000 Israel has so many parties, we can barely even count them. 0.52
00:03:08.000 One upshot of this is that Europe is actually less left-wing than it might otherwise be.
00:03:13.000 Why?
00:03:14.000 Because you can actually win an election with less than a majority.
00:03:17.000 In 2019, the British Conservatives won a major majority in Parliament, but they actually won just 43% of the vote.
00:03:24.000 That was enough.
00:03:25.000 Last year, as you might remember, in the Netherlands, Geert Wilder's right-wing Party for Freedom got only 24% of the vote.
00:03:33.000 That was enough to make them the largest party.
00:03:36.000 So right there, you see, before we come to America, in all these other countries, conservatives are able to punch above their weight because of fracturing the vote.
00:03:50.000 In 2016, when Donald Trump won the presidency, there were six candidates on the ballot.
00:03:56.000 Six candidates on the ballot.
00:03:57.000 There was Green Party Jill Stein.
00:03:59.000 There was libertarian, there was independent party candidates.
00:04:03.000 A lesser reported fact was that in the 2020 election, there were no other candidates on the ballot.
00:04:10.000 It was Trump v. Biden, Trump v. Biden.
00:04:14.000 To take another page out of Europe, the Democrats and Joe Biden and Mark Elias and Barack Obama, they created the 2020 election to effectively be a vote of no confidence against Donald Trump.
00:04:28.000 And despite all that, Donald Trump still only fell 41,000 ballots short in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
00:04:37.000 Now, the state of America is that we have a very fractured political landscape, and we wedge them into these two parties.
00:04:43.000 We force them into two parties.
00:04:45.000 We create coalitions before elections.
00:04:48.000 The parliamentary system does the opposite.
00:04:50.000 They create coalitions after elections.
00:04:54.000 I am told time and time again by younger voters, Charlie, I'm going to vote third party.
00:04:58.000 Why do I have to just choose between two parties?
00:05:01.000 And that is why on this program, we have been waiting and waiting to see how that is going to manifest.
00:05:07.000 To be honest, the pride, the hubris, and the cockiness that Joe Biden has that he's going to be able to bring every left-leaning person to fit within the Democrat Party, I think he is mistaken.
00:05:19.000 If I were to isolate the error that Joe Biden and his campaign are currently making, it's that they believe that every single person who doesn't like Trump will automatically vote for Joe Biden.
00:05:31.000 2024 is not 2020 because they might not like Trump, but they also certainly don't have strong opinions about Joe Biden.
00:05:42.000 We received some monumental news this morning.
00:05:46.000 Monumental.
00:05:47.000 We've been waiting.
00:05:49.000 We've been monitoring to see if this was going to manifest.
00:05:52.000 And breaking news this morning.
00:05:55.000 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will appear on Michigan's presidential ballot this fall after the Natural Law Party, by the way, I love the name of that party, Natural Law Party, that's a speech for a different time, nominated him to be the party's candidate his campaign announced Thursday.
00:06:14.000 A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State's office confirmed to the free press Kennedy qualified for the ballot after receiving the party's nomination and filing the necessary documents.
00:06:25.000 Kennedy will appear alongside his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, far left-winger.
00:06:29.000 According to his campaign, Michigan is the eighth state in which Kennedy has secured ballot access.
00:06:35.000 His campaign has scheduled an event Saturday evening, Sunday evening, in Royal Oak to celebrate getting on Michigan's ballot.
00:06:43.000 Michigan is right within the margin of error.
00:06:46.000 Donald Trump remains popular in the muscular class with the United Auto Workers in Detroit.
00:06:54.000 Young people are defecting in record numbers from the Democrat Party, and young men especially are supportive of Trump.
00:07:01.000 So in East Lansing at Michigan State University, in Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, you're going to see a little bit of movement in Donald Trump's direction.
00:07:10.000 And you couple that with RFK Jr. being on the ballot, Michigan is now officially a battleground state that it's always been a battleground state, but it's now officially one that we have to really play in and go all in on.
00:07:26.000 And this morning, that's why we're proud to announce at Turning Point Action, we are officially now going to be hiring an entire class of ballot chasers in the state of Michigan with this breaking news.
00:07:39.000 And I am not doing this without data.
00:07:43.000 This morning, a new Fox News poll that shows when RFK is factored in, RFK gets 9% of the vote in the state of Michigan.
00:07:54.000 Joe Biden gets 40% of the vote in the state of Michigan.
00:07:57.000 And Donald Trump gets 42% of the vote.
00:08:01.000 And that does not factor in the other now fourth party candidate.
00:08:08.000 Again, this is becoming more and more like a European style election.
00:08:14.000 This is no longer binary Republican v. Democrat Trump v. Biden.
00:08:18.000 No, this feels as if it's a German election, a Dutch election.
00:08:25.000 This is much closer to who can get to 42 or 43%, because we can't forget that there is another raging lunatic running for the presidency who very well might get on the ballot in Michigan.
00:08:42.000 And his biggest issue is the war in Gaza.
00:08:48.000 Remember, there's over 250,000 voters, Muslim voters in the state of Michigan, and probably another 100 to 200,000 that are sympathetic to the Arab Muslim cause in the state of Michigan.
00:08:58.000 A massive and significant voting block, both in Flint, Michigan and Dearborn, Michigan.
00:09:03.000 I'm talking, of course, about Cornell West and his new running mate, Melina Abdullah.
00:09:12.000 Melina Abdullah, just by the name, will be easy for Muslims to vote for.
00:09:20.000 A name like Abdullah or someone like Joe Biden, who they believe has partnered up and cozied up with Israel, the apartheid state? 0.57
00:09:30.000 Play cut 142.
00:09:32.000 Should Hamas immediately release all of the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire that is desperately needed by the people of Gaza?
00:09:41.000 No, well, we've got to look at the situation from the vantage point of the least of these, the 25th chapter of Matthew.
00:09:48.000 There's 15,000 Palestinian children who've been murdered. 0.61
00:09:51.000 If Hamas would release all the hostages in their possession immediately, should they not do that?
00:09:57.000 No, no, the IDF is not going to ceasefire just for releasing.
00:10:02.000 Look at this.
00:10:02.000 Dr. West, I mean, it does sound like you will not say that if Hamas were to just release the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire, that they should do that.
00:10:12.000 Do you believe that they should do that?
00:10:13.000 One, I'm saying that Nathan Yahoo is not trustworthy.
00:10:17.000 He refuses to answer. 0.98
00:10:18.000 He is going right after the Palestinian Muslim vote. 0.57
00:10:25.000 West Abdullah, Kennedy Shanahan, you're witnessing the creation of an unprecedented presidential election where a plurality, not a majority, can get you to victory, similar to how Trudeau won in Canada and similar to the 1992 presidential election that we have mentioned before.
00:10:47.000 And it's time for us to go all in on the beautiful state of Michigan.
00:10:54.000 You all know how your tax dollars have been used to push progressive politics in public schools while math and English scores decline.
00:11:02.000 For years, America's biggest asset managers have been doing the same thing, using your retirement savings to push their politics, their DEI and ESG agenda.
00:11:11.000 Without your consent and at your expense, there's an alternative.
00:11:15.000 At Strive, we put shareholders first.

00:11:27.000 How many of you know the 1884 presidential election and the 1888 presidential election and the 1892 presidential election?
00:11:43.000 In 1884, Grover Cleveland won the presidency.
00:11:50.000 He won the presidency, mind view, with a plurality, not a majority of the votes.
00:11:55.000 In 1888, Grover Cleveland was then displaced.
00:12:00.000 Understand, Grover Cleveland was a lot like Donald Trump.
00:12:04.000 While Cleveland was a Democrat, he had many features in common with President Trump.
00:12:07.000 Like Trump, he had a surprise, he was a surprise national figure.
00:12:10.000 In the fall of 1881, Cleveland was simply a prominent lawyer in Buffalo, New York.
00:12:16.000 But after a whirlwind stints as a mayor of Buffalo and governor of New York, just three years later, Cleveland was president-elect.
00:12:24.000 Just like Trump, he rocked to the top because voters were frustrated with corruption in both major political parties.
00:12:30.000 And just like Trump, his foreign policy emphasized non-interventionalism.
00:12:35.000 Just like Trump Cleveland lost a nail-biter election in 1888 to Republican Benjamin Harrison.
00:12:41.000 But the story gets even better because Grover Cleveland did not give up.
00:12:47.000 Grover Cleveland did not back down.
00:12:50.000 Even as Cleveland moved out of the White House the following spring, his wife supposedly told the staffer to take good care of the building's furniture because, quote, I want everything just as it is for when we come back four years from now.
00:13:03.000 It was a bold boast, but it came true.
00:13:06.000 Just like Trump, there was little doubt that Cleveland would be the party's champion again four years later.
00:13:12.000 He romped to a win at the first ballot at the 1892 nominating convention.
00:13:17.000 And just like Biden, meanwhile, President Harrison suffered from surging prices and a divided party.
00:13:25.000 The 1892 election, just like this year's, had a formidable populist third-party candidate, Jave Weaver, of the literal populist party.
00:13:36.000 And if you look at the results of the 1892 presidential election, it is eerily similar to the presidential election of 1992, 100 years apart.
00:13:51.000 Grover Cleveland's third election was much stronger than either of his first two.
00:13:58.000 In 1884, Cleveland had won 20 states with 219 electoral votes.
00:14:03.000 Eight years later, he won 23 states with more than 277.
00:14:09.000 The same way that you have RFK that's hovering around 10%, 12%, in that 1892 presidential election where Grover Cleveland won back the White House, the only president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms.
00:14:26.000 Sound familiar?
00:14:30.000 James Weaver, a populist, won five states, won 22 electoral votes, a million total votes, and carried 8.5% of the vote.
00:14:40.000 In 1892, it was the only other rematch we've had where both candidates had been president.
00:14:46.000 So the comparison was simple.
00:14:47.000 Whose term was better?
00:14:50.000 And that is exactly what we're living through in 2024.
00:14:53.000 People say, this is unprecedented.
00:14:55.000 And we say, actually, there is precedent.
00:15:00.000 It's unprecedented to the law fair that they're launching against Trump.
00:15:04.000 So what does the polling say?
00:15:05.000 Easy.
00:15:06.000 Trump is better.
00:15:07.000 And because of how Joe Biden and or Benjamin Harrison have been unable to govern the country, candidates like RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West are ascendant.
00:15:22.000 Grover Cleveland won in the 1892 presidential election because candidates were able to compare memories, data, facts, and figures from four independent terms that were served next to each other.
00:15:39.000 In all of American history, that has never happened until now.
00:15:45.000 The 1892 presidential election and the 2024 presidential election are the only two where voters can say these four years, these four years.
00:15:56.000 I was asked recently at a donor event in Palm Springs, Charlie, what should Trump run on?
00:16:00.000 It's very simple.
00:16:02.000 It's, my fellow Americans, I want you to compare the four years I was president.
00:16:06.000 There was less war, you were richer, and the country was more stable.
00:16:12.000 Done.
00:16:14.000 Even people who hate Trump, including some of the attendees at this event that I was at, raising money for Turning Point, who are not Trump fans, but they still enjoyed Turning Point and they enjoyed the dialogue.
00:16:24.000 They were wonderful people.
00:16:26.000 They said, Charlie, I do agree.
00:16:28.000 Under Trump, there was less war and more peace.
00:16:32.000 People were richer and I was richer and the economy was better.
00:16:35.000 And number three, of course, the country was more stable.
00:16:40.000 The third party surge coupled with independent observation of which four years?
00:16:48.000 You can see why the Democrats are freaking out.
00:16:52.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:54.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.
00:16:56.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:17:00.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:17:02.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:17:07.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:17:13.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice. 0.53
00:17:19.000 $280 can save 10 babies.
00:17:21.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.
00:17:25.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.
00:17:31.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
00:17:34.000 Call 833-850-2229.
00:17:37.000 That's 833-850-2229.
00:17:40.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:17:43.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
00:17:46.000 Also, save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.
00:17:48.000 I'm a donor of this organization.
00:17:49.000 They're terrific.
00:17:50.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.
00:17:55.000 Without getting into too many private details, I'm going to just make this a short but exciting update.
00:18:00.000 Feeling very good about what's happening in Nebraska.
00:18:03.000 The governor is a terrific man and a great leader, and I'm feeling bullish.
00:18:07.000 And the vibe on the ground is very good.
00:18:10.000 I don't want to disclose any private conversations here, but the governor, I have full expectation that he's going to bring this across the finish line with in partner with the unicameral there in Lincoln.
00:18:23.000 So I'm not going to share any more than that, except feeling good.
00:18:27.000 And we really believe that the Nebraska Republicans are ready to be heroes.
00:18:31.000 And they will be celebrated by millions of people.
00:18:34.000 So stay in prayer.
00:18:36.000 Stay encouraging.
00:18:37.000 The trend is really good right now on the ground.
00:18:40.000 And I have no reason to believe that this is stopping.
00:18:44.000 And so great credit to the governor and his team and to the members of the Unicameral that keep on moving this forward.
00:18:50.000 And we're going to keep a close eye on this.
00:18:52.000 And I think they're ready to step up and be heroes.
00:18:54.000 The great state of Nebraska.
00:18:57.000 So as I mentioned, at Turning Point Action, I literally authorized this morning.
00:19:00.000 I was up super early, prepping for the show, and I was going through all the Michigan data polling, all the polling data from Michigan, and RFK on the ballot.
00:19:09.000 And I called Tyler very early.
00:19:11.000 And I said, what do we got in Michigan?
00:19:12.000 He said, well, as you know, we have a plan.
00:19:14.000 It just hasn't, we haven't pulled the trigger on it.
00:19:16.000 We have to raise the money to get the ballot chasers of Michigan.
00:19:18.000 I said, just do it.
00:19:19.000 I'll figure it out.
00:19:20.000 I said, we'll go raise the money.
00:19:21.000 Just get it done.
00:19:22.000 And we have a big donor event coming up next weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara.
00:19:27.000 We have 300 of our top donors.
00:19:28.000 They're unbelievable patriots that are coming out.
00:19:31.000 I'm sure that we'll be able to figure out the resources for that.
00:19:34.000 And as I said, Tyler, get it done.
00:19:35.000 We're running out of time.
00:19:36.000 So as of this morning, Turning Point Action, we are now active on the ground in Michigan, hiring up.
00:19:43.000 It won't be as much as Wisconsin out of the gate unless we're able to raise the capital.
00:19:47.000 And I feel so bullish of our ability to make a significant difference in the state of Michigan because of how Camelot is acting.
00:19:59.000 This is all synchronized.
00:20:02.000 RFK gets on the ballot.
00:20:04.000 And as this has been happening, the entire Kennedy family, Camelot, is now deployed on a media circuit telling people, don't vote for RFK.
00:20:17.000 Don't vote for RFK.
00:20:18.000 Don't vote for my brother.
00:20:20.000 Don't vote for my uncle.
00:20:22.000 So I see how the bad guys are reacting to Kennedy.
00:20:25.000 That means their internal polling is showing them exactly what we're feeling on the ground.
00:20:30.000 There is panic in the Democrat ranks.
00:20:32.000 You couple that with Cornell West and Ms. Abdullah talking about not releasing Gaza hostages.
00:20:39.000 Jill Stein is going to be on the ballot for all of those wonderful environmentalists, earth worshipers in Michigan.
00:20:47.000 Our hypothesis is proving correct.
00:20:50.000 This is more and more like a European parliamentary type election where it is about pluralities, not majorities.
00:20:58.000 And again, there have been American elections that have been like this.
00:21:02.000 The 1992 presidential election, the 1892 presidential election.
00:21:07.000 Here's one example of many, and I want to play them, of how the Kennedy family has now been dispatched.
00:21:15.000 Barack Obama, Mark Elias, David Axelrod, all the smart people in the Democrat Party, they are now deploying RFK's blood to try and slow down his momentum because they know RFK is peeling far more from Democrats than he is from Republicans.
00:21:35.000 Play cut 146.
00:21:36.000 My name is Joe Kennedy.
00:21:38.000 I'm Kerry Kennedy.
00:21:38.000 I'm Roy Kennedy.
00:21:39.000 Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
00:21:41.000 Chris Kennedy.
00:21:41.000 And I'm here to proudly endorse Joe Biden.
00:21:44.000 Joe Biden.
00:21:44.000 Joe Biden.
00:21:45.000 Our future is on the ballot in a way in which we haven't seen in generations.
00:21:49.000 The only way to win this election is for everybody to go out and vote for Joe Biden and Kamala.
00:21:57.000 First of all, whoever decides to make videos like that, where they all fill in each other's sentences, it is so overdone.
00:22:09.000 It is so Hollywood.
00:22:11.000 Hi, hi, hi, hi.
00:22:13.000 I'm, I'm, it just, it just is, it is very cliche, Kennedys.
00:22:19.000 But it doesn't stop there.
00:22:20.000 This is, I want to play the sequence of tape.
00:22:22.000 This is Carrie Kennedy, the sister of Bobby Kennedy, who is saying that Trump is the most anti-Democratic president in history, spewing dangerous conspiracy theories on climate, vaccines, windmills, and voter fraud.
00:22:40.000 Play cut 144.
00:22:43.000 As Donald Trump proudly brags about overturning Roe v. Wade, rolling Blackfoot back the clock 50 years to when women couldn't make our own health care decisions, President Biden is fighting to get our freedoms back.
00:22:59.000 Make no mistake.
00:23:02.000 All these rights and freedoms are on the ballot in November.
00:23:06.000 He is the most anti-democratic president in American history.
00:23:12.000 President Trump spews dangerous conspiracy theories on climate change, vaccines, windmills, and voter fraud.
00:23:21.000 Okay, now you know RFK is now getting to them.
00:23:25.000 And I just want to say, we had RFK here on this program, and I encourage all of you to watch that interview.
00:23:31.000 Can we make sure that is findable on CharlieKirk.com?
00:23:35.000 He's a liberal.
00:23:38.000 He is a liberal.
00:23:40.000 And I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but he is a man of courage.
00:23:44.000 You can't imagine, it's not easy to have your family to go up and to talk about you that way and to basically say we have to defeat my brother.
00:23:56.000 But he's still running because I think RFK is a true believer in a more sensible liberal Democrat.
00:24:04.000 Again, I think that RFK is a radical environmentalist.
00:24:09.000 He is radical on the courts.
00:24:11.000 But RFK on certain issues, I think he is repulsed by the authoritarian tilt of the Democrat Party.
00:24:19.000 Play cut 145.
00:24:22.000 He said he will be a dictator on day one, even saying he wants to suspend the Constitution so he can go after his enemies, after his critics, after the press.
00:24:35.000 He is running to use his power to punish his enemies, silence his opponents, and incite more chaos, division, and political violence with his extreme agenda.
00:24:47.000 And his extreme agenda.
00:24:51.000 Remember, Kerry Kennedy was married to Andrew Cuomo, just as a fun little side note there.
00:24:57.000 Why are they being deployed and dispatched?
00:25:00.000 Because RFK is positioned to be a Ross Perot, James B. Weaver type.
00:25:08.000 Peel off just enough.
00:25:10.000 Peel off just enough.
00:25:12.000 And you couple that with actual data and polling that demonstrates the more candidates running, the better Donald Trump does.
00:25:24.000 And we saw this for quite some time, which is now why we are doubling and tripling down on our investment in Michigan.
00:25:31.000 You see this event that we have behind us, the People's Convention?
00:25:34.000 You know where we're hosting that event?
00:25:36.000 Downtown Detroit, Michigan.
00:25:38.000 We need every single one of you to get your tickets right now and to show up in big numbers.
00:25:43.000 The motor city, the forgotten city, the city that used to have one of the highest per capita median incomes in the country.
00:25:52.000 You know where those zip codes are now?
00:25:54.000 They're around Washington, D.C.
00:25:56.000 The wealthiest counties in America used to be around our industrial base.
00:26:00.000 Now the wealthiest counties in America are around the imperial capital, the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:26:09.000 And Detroit remembers when they were once a great city, and they want to be a great city again, and they can be a great city again. 0.60
00:26:15.000 And make no mistake, Donald Trump is doing better with black voters.
00:26:19.000 He's doing better with younger voters.
00:26:21.000 Democrats are doing worse with Muslim voters.
00:26:24.000 And then you bring this RFK equation in.
00:26:27.000 At the very least, the emphasis on Michigan that we are going to do from turning point action, having this big event with Trump, at the very minimum, it makes Joe Biden now have to spread out his turf.
00:26:41.000 And then coupled with the bullish trend in Nebraska, someone's going to have to go campaign in Nevada.
00:26:50.000 In fact, I feel so good about where Nebraska is headed, we might have to start standing up some operation in Nevada, at least in Clark County.
00:26:58.000 See, Nevada is really just two counties.
00:27:00.000 It's Clark and Washoe County.
00:27:01.000 It's the whole state.
00:27:03.000 And then some rules Elko, but harder to ballot chase in those areas.
00:27:07.000 And you win Washoe County, you can win the entire state.
00:27:09.000 If you do good enough in Clark and lose by less in Clark, and if you win by one vote in Washoe, you can win the entire state.
00:27:15.000 It's possible.
00:27:16.000 And then you could also flip a Senate seat, by the way.
00:27:19.000 With Jackie Rosen is very, very beatable there. 0.51
00:27:22.000 And not to mention Hispanics that are moving in the Republican conservative Trump direction.
00:27:30.000 And I just have to, do we have the full tape here of all the Kennedys? 0.54
00:27:34.000 I've never seen so many trust fund babies with low vitamin D counts as this montage.
00:27:42.000 I got to play this again.
00:27:43.000 These people have not worked a day in their life.
00:27:46.000 They're recipients of the machinery and the billion-dollar trusts that were configured by Joseph P. Kennedy, a very bad bootlegger.
00:28:01.000 Listen, this is the whole.
00:28:03.000 You want to see a face of the American oligarchy?
00:28:06.000 Do you want to see a face of the elite, the Harvard class?
00:28:12.000 This, they're screaming at you here, telling you, stop your little defections, vote for Joe Biden.
00:28:20.000 Oh, this should just fire you up that we are over the target, that Trump is over the target.
00:28:26.000 Play Cut 147.
00:28:27.000 My name is Joe Kennedy.
00:28:28.000 I'm Kerry Kennedy.
00:28:30.000 Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
00:28:31.000 Chris Kennedy.
00:28:32.000 And I'm here to proudly endorse Joe Biden.
00:28:35.000 Joe Biden.
00:28:36.000 Our future is on the ballot in a way in which we haven't seen in generations.
00:28:40.000 The only way to win this election is for everybody to go out and vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
00:28:48.000 When I think of modern politicians in our country in this century, I think Joe Biden is the RFK of his generation.
00:28:56.000 Believes in democracy, believes in human rights, believes in the freedoms.
00:29:01.000 This is a president who embodies the Kennedy legacy.
00:29:06.000 Yeah, not RFK.
00:29:08.000 Joe Biden does.
00:29:10.000 This is so forced.
00:29:12.000 It's like a hostage video.
00:29:17.000 You might have heard Mike Lindell and MyPillow no longer have the support of their box stores or shopping channels the way they used to.
00:29:23.000 They've been part of this cancel culture, so they want to pass the savings directly on to you by having a $25 extravaganza.
00:29:30.000 When Mike started My Pillow, it was just a one-product company.
00:29:34.000 With the help of his dedicated employees, they now have hundreds of products, and some of you may not even know about it.
00:29:40.000 To get the word out, I want to invite my listeners to check out their $25 extravaganza.

00:30:13.000 We are now engaging on the TikTok terrain, and apparently we're very popular, right, Ryan?
00:30:19.000 I get all these reports that how many TikTok views do we get a day?
00:30:23.000 Millions.
00:30:23.000 I'm told millions and millions of people are watching this.
00:30:26.000 And so Ryan just sent me all the TikTok data.
00:30:29.000 Again, I'm not a huge fan of TikTok, but TikTok, TikTok is the mail and ballots of social media.
00:30:37.000 It's either you're going to use what is in front of us to win and to try to convince a generation around our value system, or we're just going to complain and lose.
00:30:48.000 So Ryan sends me all this demographic data on TikTok.
00:30:52.000 Not surprising.
00:30:53.000 You know, we have 69% of people that watch us on TikTok are men.
00:30:57.000 Not surprising.
00:30:59.000 Our biggest demographic is ages 25 to 34, followed by 35 to 44, and then 18 to 24.
00:31:06.000 So it's right in that Gen Z millennial.
00:31:09.000 How many views do we have?
00:31:10.000 Oh, 106 million views in the last 20 days on TikTok, which I'm told is very good.
00:31:18.000 Again, I'm new to TikTok.
00:31:19.000 I know Instagram pretty well.
00:31:20.000 By the way, we just hit 3 million followers on Instagram.
00:31:22.000 Good job, Daisy.
00:31:25.000 Good job, Daisy and Emma.
00:31:27.000 Done a great job in the whole team.
00:31:28.000 Daisy and Emma.
00:31:30.000 3 million followers on Instagram.
00:31:33.000 I know Twitter very well, or X, Facebook I know, YouTube, I'm learning.
00:31:36.000 Ryan does great on YouTube.
00:31:39.000 We had 50 million views on TikTok just last week.
00:31:42.000 Now, part of the data that we're analyzing here on the TikTok is quite interesting because it shows that our biggest demographic are men ages, you know, 18 to 40.
00:31:55.000 And in the cities are quite interesting.
00:31:57.000 The cities are Houston, Chicago, Atlanta.
00:32:01.000 And the Chicago, Atlanta one is very interesting because if you have young men that are watching you in Chicago, Atlanta, that means you have a fair amount, and you can see this in the comments of black and Hispanic men.
00:32:14.000 And I know this to be true.
00:32:16.000 I know in the, first of all, the comment section from people that stop us on the street, from people that attend our turning point events, from people that get involved with Blexit, there's a growing number of amazing black and Hispanic patriots that are behind the work we're doing at Turning Point USA and believe in our value system and are sick of what they are seeing.
00:32:34.000 A very influential person in black America is Stephen A. Smith. 0.68
00:32:39.000 I rarely agree with him on politics.
00:32:42.000 I think he's always interesting and entertaining.
00:32:44.000 I like how intense he is.
00:32:46.000 I mean, I love sports, especially college football.
00:32:48.000 Stephen A. Smith now has his own program where he does venture into the political lane.
00:32:54.000 And this is a powerful piece of tape.
00:32:57.000 I want to play the thing.
00:32:58.000 I want to play it in its entirety.
00:33:00.000 Play Cut 136.
00:33:02.000 When I think about Donald Trump, I think about this case in New York.
00:33:06.000 I mean, I'm looking at the Democrats right now.
00:33:09.000 And again, primarily, I have voted Democrat throughout my life, but I'm utterly disgusted with what I'm seeing because it seems to me that they're trying to use the law and the courts.
00:33:17.000 They've clearly politicized this thing with Donald Trump because they can't come up with a strategy to offset the momentum. 0.99
00:33:23.000 He's clearly gay. 0.96
00:33:25.000 In at least five polls, he's up. 0.97
00:33:27.000 He's up in the polls over Biden, at least five polls that I counted.
00:33:31.000 That's the reality of the situation.
00:33:33.000 Despite the counts against them, the indictments against them being impeached twice and all of this other stuff.
00:33:38.000 He is the presumptive GOP nominee.
00:33:41.000 And you don't seem to have the issues in your favor, you believe.
00:33:45.000 So because of that, you're going to manipulate the system as best as you possibly can to avoid him possibly running for reelection again.
00:33:54.000 That appears to be their strategy, but I'm here to tell you, it's not working. 0.99
00:33:58.000 I'm telling you, black and Hispanic men, we want to tie it all together.
00:34:03.000 We want to complete the circle.
00:34:05.000 Michigan, Wisconsin.
00:34:07.000 You might say, Charlie, what about Georgia?
00:34:08.000 I don't want to get too cocky, but I feel very good about Georgia.
00:34:12.000 Donald Trump is up anywhere between four to 10 points in every Georgia poll.
00:34:15.000 We are out-registering Georgia voters.
00:34:18.000 Josh McCoon does a great job as Georgia state party chair.
00:34:22.000 He's terrific.
00:34:24.000 I don't want to say that we're 100% going to win Georgia, but I'm feeling very good about Georgia.
00:34:28.000 Arizona is going to be a knife fight.
00:34:29.000 Arizona, that's a whole different show for a different time, different program. 0.99
00:34:33.000 And by the way, we got to make sure Kerry Lake becomes senator, not just Donald Trump gets the electoral votes.
00:34:38.000 But the attention, the focus, the energy, the intensity is blue wall, blue wall, blue wall, blue wall.
00:34:46.000 Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:34:52.000 Axel Rodd and James Carville have been sounding the alarm.
00:34:55.000 Remember, Trump is not a typical candidate.
00:34:58.000 This is a bottom-up populist movement.
00:35:00.000 And with a buffet line of choices and multiple candidates and this trending towards a plurality wins, not a majority wins, coupled with the fact that there's nothing more they can throw at Trump.
00:35:12.000 He's literally standing trial for a felony and his numbers don't go down.
00:35:18.000 We chase ballots.
00:35:19.000 We register voters.
00:35:20.000 We put the work in.
00:35:22.000 We're going to have a shot.
00:35:23.000 A shot at saving this country.
00:35:24.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
