00:01:02.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:58.000Vivek Ramaswamy was pinpointing something that is deeply disturbing to many of us.
00:02:05.000The disconnect between the people who finance our elections, the people in the donor class, and we are some great people in the donor class, obviously, and people in the rank and file.
00:02:19.000Vivek Ramaswamy began with Cut 106, play cut 106.
00:02:27.000And the irony is Nikki Haley was heaping praise on me when I wrote that book, but now I worry I was warning about the woke industrial complex in this country as a warning.
00:02:36.000Apparently, she read it as a how-to manual.
00:02:39.000We're marching towards fascism under Biden.
00:02:41.000Jack Smith has subpoenaed every last retweet that someone has issued from Donald Trump in the year 2020.
00:02:48.000The only person more fascist than the Biden regime now is Nikki Haley, who thinks the government should identify every one of those individuals with an ID.
00:03:17.000Nikki Haley was a pretty good governor of South Carolina.
00:03:20.000Nikki Haley had a choice of whether or not she was going to become a strong conservative or follow the money.
00:03:27.000And Nikki Haley made a lot of money lobbying for defense contractors, speaking on the board of Boeing, being an ambassador to the United Nations.
00:04:51.000Are you questioning Nikki Haley's Christian convictions?
00:04:54.000And why has your campaign made a point of referring to Ambassador Haley by her given first name, Nimerada, even though she's gone by Nikki for her whole life?
00:05:02.000Well, my whole deal is if Nikki Haley, of all people, should know how to pronounce my name correctly.
00:05:07.000The rest of the news media can learn it.
00:05:08.000My deal is I'll call her Nikki when she could say my own name right.
00:05:11.000And that's our little fun side bet there.
00:07:39.000But it does show a window into how Vivek Ramaswamy has ruined at least the platform that they wanted.
00:07:48.000They wanted at least some form of debate where Nikki Haley and Chris Christie were debating about how many Tomahawk missiles to send to Guyana.
00:07:57.000Should Marines invade Guyana right now to go protect against the Venezuelan incursion?
00:08:04.000And then the questions were definitely better because Megan Kelly, I think, did a really great job moderating.
00:08:11.000But this really is a question about the direction of the Republican Party.
00:08:15.000Now, many of you are emailing us, freedom at charliekirk.com, and you're saying, I only watched to see Vivek Ramaswamy make a mess of the whole thing.
00:08:23.000And Vivek was willing to say the things you're not supposed to say.
00:08:27.000And Chris Christie calls Vivek Ramaswamy repugnant and bloviating.
00:08:31.000Honestly, that means Vivek is doing a great job.
00:08:33.000But you know what excites me most about Vivek?
00:08:36.000And this is something I try to tell a lot of people in politics.
00:08:40.000Now, this is going to upset some people, but hear me out because I'll be very precise in how I say it.
00:08:45.000Some, not all, older people in politics, but most, tend to be far more moderate than the younger people in politics.
00:08:56.000I know that might sound the opposite, right?
00:08:58.000You might think that the younger they are, the more likely they are to concede on LGBT and open borders.
00:09:02.000But Vivek Ramaswamy is 38 years old, the first millennial to run as the Republican candidacy.
00:09:07.000You'd think Vivek Ramaswamy would be, well, we need to try to empathize and have compassion.
00:09:14.000Vivek Ramaswamy is the most based person on stage.
00:09:17.000And this is a trend that we're seeing: that the most conservative, the most passionate people in the movement tend to be a little younger.
00:12:22.000By the way, if you think Hannity asking the dictator question with Trump was bad, wait till you see CNN get in there and ask, Vivek, are you an Indian Nazi?
00:12:30.000I mean, this whole thing is so repulsive.
00:13:19.000Okay, so Vivek Ramaswamy is an interesting kind of data point.
00:13:26.000So Vivek is by far the youngest person on stage.
00:13:30.000And Vivek is saying the most based, the most conservative things of anybody on stage.
00:13:36.000And you'd think it would be the opposite, right?
00:13:37.000You'd think that it would be the older you are, the more radical you are.
00:13:41.000No, no, actually, it's the younger you are, the more conservative you are.
00:13:45.000The Arizona public opinion pulse did some polling that shows that the younger you are in Arizona, the more likely you are to be someone that is a supporter of Trump and a supporter of conservative values.
00:17:23.000These people are so morally degenerate.
00:17:26.000But understand, this is not a perfect rule, but it's a general rule.
00:17:30.000The younger the conservative, the more based and more conservative they tend to be because they see the immediate threat of the Marxists in their circle.
00:17:44.000I have to say, the vast majority of emails and comments that I receive from self-described conservatives that tell me to tone it down, tell me that I'm too radical, are from people over the age of 60.
00:17:56.000People that say, I'm not saying enough, are under the age of 35.
00:18:32.000Why am I the only person on the stage, at least, who can say that the great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform?
00:18:45.000Democrats have said many times, it's not happening, and it's good that it is.
00:18:51.000Oh, mass migration on the southern border is not about trying to destroy the demographics of the country, but it's really good because diversity is our strength.
00:19:23.000Is it happening or is it not happening?
00:19:25.000And this particular topic is really interesting to me because of all the topics where the media overreacts, this one, they absolutely become unglued and unhinged.
00:19:52.000And the smug, condescending way that he just spews this poison out is very, very dangerous because he won't stop Trump, but he's got to outlive Trump by about 50 years.
00:20:04.000And you're watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person.
00:20:10.000And literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don't know that is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.
00:20:20.000One step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.
00:22:18.000No, I totally, again, I'm saying general rule.
00:22:20.000But the data shows this, just so we're clear, just so you guys understand, the data shows that 60% of older voters in the state of Arizona support the Republican Party, but don't like Trump and think that it's gone too extreme.
00:22:33.000And I see this in my close immediate circle.
00:22:36.000When I go to a turning point event, they think the Republican Party has not become radical enough.
00:22:42.000So what Vivek represents is a very, very powerful thing.
00:22:47.000You see, Chris Christie thinks Vivek Ramaswamy just represents a cynical, power-seeking, attention-seeking type politician who wants nothing more than to try to be popular and to try to get support.
00:23:03.000What I think Vivek Ramaswamy represents is someone who knows his generation and listens to them.
00:23:09.000And honestly, Vivek Ramaswamy is the most online candidate that we've seen in the modern presidential era.
00:23:16.000Said differently, Vivek Ramaswamy's screen time is probably the most of any presidential candidate that we've seen ever.
00:23:24.000And he spends a lot of time reading conservative content on Twitter, on social media.
00:24:37.000That clip is one of the most powerful clips.
00:24:40.000By the way, on top of the Castro brothers, how is that not the great replacement?
00:24:44.000They want the country to become less white.
00:24:47.000And then you pair that with what Bill Ackman has been saying.
00:24:50.000Bill Ackman, who's not exactly a Steve Bannon conservative.
00:24:55.000Bill Ackman, who writes that the entire institution of Harvard is rigged against white people and is sowing the seeds of anti-whiteness in this country.
00:25:06.000Vivek Ramaswamy is representing a new generation of conservatives that are by far the most based and conservative in a generation.
00:25:17.000And, you know, Melanie says here, you know, Charlie, you can't make blanket statements.
00:25:24.000Again, there are a ton of very conservative people over 60 and 70 and 80.
00:25:29.000So just these are general trends and general averages.
00:25:33.000But it is true that on the debate stage, on the debate stage, the people that the person who is by far the most conservative, that is the most aggressive, is the youngest.
00:27:57.000And even there, two-thirds of GOP voters say they would be angry and disappointed if you won.
00:28:03.000Respectfully, Governor, you have not stopped, Mr. Trump.
00:28:07.000And voters may wonder how you could possibly become the nominee of a party that does not appear to like you very much.
00:28:13.000Yeah, well, look, Megan, it's often very difficult to be the only person on the stage who's telling the truth and the only person who is taking on what needs to be taken on.
00:28:49.000How about you actually go after his ideas, Chris Christie?
00:28:51.000No, you don't like the fact that Vivek Ramaswamy points out the great replacement, that he points out that our border is wide open, that our intel agencies hate us.
00:29:16.000She wouldn't be able to find something on a map that his three-year-old could find.
00:29:20.000Look, if you want to disagree on issues, that's fine.
00:29:23.000And Nikki and I disagree on some issues.
00:29:25.000But I'll tell you this: I've known her for 12 years, which is longer than he's even started to vote in a Republican primary.
00:29:35.000And while we disagree about some issues and we disagree about who should be president of the United States, what we don't disagree on is this is a smart, accomplished woman.
00:29:57.000Vivek Ramaswamy represents an insurgency in the Republican Party.
00:30:01.000You have to ask the question: what would the primary look like if Trump wasn't in it?
00:30:05.000Vivek Ramaswamy and ideas that he is presenting would be extremely successful in the Republican Prime because that's where the Republican Party is.
00:30:15.000Now, again, the debate stuff is fun, but this is all a complete waste of time and money and energy.
00:30:21.000Okay, so the RNC, Ronna McRomney, announces a debate with CNN.
00:30:27.000Donald Trump's going to be the nominee.
00:30:29.000By the way, all of the energy that now Rana and the RNC team, they have to book hotels and do logistics and meet with CNN, that is waste of energy.
00:30:37.000Why are you not hiring ballot chasers, filing lawsuits in the early states?
00:30:42.000How does that help us get closer to Joe Biden?
00:30:54.000Bernie Marcus, worth almost $10 billion, an American legend.
00:30:59.000Bernie Marcus, who's been generous to Turning Point USA, Bernie Marcus, who has created a vast amount of wealth for tons of people and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jobs.
00:31:08.000Bernie Marcus comes out and he says these debates are an embarrassment and should be canceled.
00:31:13.000Anybody who knows anything about how business operates in politics, the clock is ticking.
00:31:18.000By the way, let's just get the election counter going here, okay?
