00:02:06.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:34.000And I appreciate your mentioning that.
00:03:36.000In terms of 2023, this is, you know, let's go ahead and say it.
00:03:41.0002023 was the most insane year for politics in the history of this country.
00:03:46.000And it's not even going to hold a candle to 2024.
00:03:50.000We're going to have trial after trial after trial of the man leading in the polls to be the president of the most powerful nation in the in the country, while you've got Jack Smith and Merit Garland and Sanny Willis attempting to damage him.
00:04:05.000However, they can keep him off the ballot um, so?
00:04:10.000So I would say, you know, in a word, 2023 was insanity and 2024 is going to make 23 look like a joke.
00:04:19.000So I want to now transition to the Nikki Haley thing.
00:05:20.000Newsweek, though, Nikki Haley closes the gap on Donald Trump.
00:05:23.000Nikki Haley surges in poll, according to The Guardian, within four points of Republican leader Trump.
00:05:29.000Now, these polls might be exaggerated, trying to create a race where there isn't one.
00:05:34.000But Kane, for those of us that are teen MAGA, Team Trump, it would be a mistake for us to rest on our laurels, act like this thing is in the bag.
00:05:42.000Nikki has a two-week window where she might surprise some people.
00:05:46.000And even if she falls 10 points short, the media will say that that is a win.
00:05:54.000So quickly, we'll go to the polls first.
00:05:56.000As you said, they've been all over the map.
00:05:58.000She is polling higher in New Hampshire than in any other state, obviously.
00:06:03.000And lucky for her, South Carolina is probably where she's doing second best, and that follows New Hampshire.
00:06:09.000So she's going to get a lot of positive press in the first months.
00:06:13.000And you're absolutely correct that the media is going to blow it up, whether it's 10 points that she loses by a New Hampshire or 15 or even 20.
00:06:22.000They're going to say that that's a strong showing, that it shows momentum from her candidacy.
00:06:28.000And, you know, and we need to pay attention and be prepared for this and be prepared to fight back and explain to people that these are really anomalies associated, as you said, with New Hampshire, with South Carolina, and with some of the early more moderate states.
00:06:45.000Overall, that Newsweek story that you mentioned, I've got it in the stack from last night.
00:06:50.000And my headline is something about what a stupid headline from Newsweek, because they talk about her gaining, yet they point out in paragraph two that she's still losing to Trump 5113.
00:07:04.000Now, she has passed, has passed DeSantis, who is apparently tied somehow with Chris Christie at 9%.
00:07:13.000So in the national polls, Trump is still strong.
00:07:16.000In the New Hampshire-specific polls, you nailed it.
00:07:21.000There was one, I don't know, this has been a week maybe, that she was within three or four points.
00:07:27.000But it turns out that polling group was probably pretty suspect.
00:08:05.000Just like Wall Street works by whether or not you beat expectations when you report your earnings, and that determines whether the stock goes up.
00:08:18.000If Trump is constantly putting out these polls showing him leading by 50 or 60 and not explaining clearly that these are nationwide polls, he is a little bit setting himself up for this media attack when Nikki Haley only ends up losing by 15.
00:08:35.000But it's, you know, look, it's going to coalesce, right?
00:08:38.000If DeSantis may drop out after Iowa and New Hampshire, you may have Chris Christie says he will not drop out, but it's not going to be a clear, not every voter for DeSantis is going to go for Nikki Haley.
00:08:51.000We've seen in certain polls that if DeSantis voters don't have DeSantis to choose from, most of them want Trump.
00:08:58.000So it's not, you know, so I don't really believe that she's going to, that it's going to end up being, let's say, a 60-40 battle if she were the only candidate across all the primaries.
00:09:27.000I know I have a minority opinion in the MAGA movement that she has surprised a lot of people.
00:09:32.000If you study her South Carolina governor's races, and obviously I'm not supportive of her candidacy, I'm just talking factually here.
00:09:38.000You look at her South Carolina governor's races, you look at her other opportunity, she has a way to scrap herself up to the top through hard work, through grit, through talent, through ambition, whatever you want to call it.
00:09:51.000I just think it would be a mistake for us to act as if this is signed, sealed, and delivered.
00:09:55.000There's some very, very powerful people pumping money behind Nikki Haley right now.
00:10:00.000We're getting emails right now, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:10:02.000Kane, people are saying, I am seeing five Nikki Haley ads a day in New Hampshire, Boston television.
00:10:13.000The billionaires are coalescing behind her.
00:10:15.000I'm not sure what Ken Griffin is doing, but the Oracle guy, Larry Ellison, who I think wasted $40 million that could have been given to organizations like Turning Point USA, so that an actual ground effort, grassroots effort in the seven swing states, but instead they wasted that $40 million on Tim Scott.
00:10:44.000The never Trumpers, the Democrats, the regime media, everyone is going to get behind Nikki Haley.
00:10:51.000And we're going to see how strong the MAGA base is.
00:10:54.000But, you know, just based on the nationwide polls, Charlie, I'm not actually worried.
00:11:01.000My job is to be a little bit paranoid.
00:11:04.000I like to see different attacks coming.
00:11:06.000I also, I have no doubt Trump will win the primary.
00:11:09.000I just don't want to have to have this go longer than it needs to be, us underestimate, have Trump to spend more precious dollars that should be spread against Biden.
00:11:18.000And all of a sudden, we're going to have to be in full kind of PR recovery mode, Kane, in late January, because out of nowhere we have a primary because we were celebrating near Christmas and New Year's.
00:11:33.000And that means that you might have to be moving boxes or just, it's tough, a lot of stress.
00:11:37.000And that means inflammation increases.
00:11:39.000And that means pain also might increase alongside of it.

00:13:02.000And what would your message be to President Trump if he was listening to his advisors about picking Nikki Haley as vice president?
00:13:12.000My message would probably be what Tucker Carlson's message was at your MFES on stage last week, which I think he said he might actively campaign against that ticket.
00:13:23.000He would actively campaign against President Trump if he chose Nikki Haley because she's so diametrically opposed to so much of what the MAGA base believes in.
00:13:34.000I actually hadn't seen it until a couple of days ago when it was mentioned in a story that Trump at Mar-a-Lago had, or, you know, in a speech or a presentation with donors, he had sort of asked them about different candidates and brought up Nikki Haley and wondered what people thought.
00:13:53.000And then, as you said, Don Jr. has been very public and very vocal about letting his dad know that Nikki Haley is a non-starter as vice president.
00:14:02.000I would remind him that the base, that most of the things that Nikki Haley stands for, I mean, we've been able to show that she's open, you know, she succumbed to the transgender lobby in South Carolina, for example, on bathrooms and other issues.
00:14:18.000Most of the cultural issues, most of the, you know, one of the things that we loved about Trump was he was the first president in 50 years to give the middle finger to China.
00:14:27.000I've been waiting for that since business classes in college, for someone actually to have the guts.
00:14:32.000And Nikki Haley would suck up to China just like just like Biden does.
00:14:37.000So my message to Trump would be: stay with your base.
00:14:42.000Do not go outside of it with someone like Nikki Haley.
00:14:47.000Those never Trumpers are still going to vote for President Trump.
00:14:51.000That's the thing that everyone has to remember.
00:14:53.000All these people campaigning against her from our side, guess what?
00:14:57.000They're still going to hold their nose and vote for Trump when he's the candidate.
00:15:02.000And they just sort of make it seem as though they won't.
00:15:05.000And they make these sort of dire predictions that Trump will lose a certain 20, 25% of the base of the Republican voters if he doesn't mollify his conduct in some ways.
00:15:20.000You know, look, I'm rambling and I want to wrap it up because I want to hear your thoughts, but it's a crazy idea.
00:15:27.000Let's hope he's not considering it closely.
00:15:29.000There are so many other better candidates from Josh Hawley to Vivek.
00:15:43.000And look, I'm going to privately do everything I can to make sure Nikki Haley does not become vice president.
00:15:48.000If this happened, it would be a real gut punch.
00:15:52.000It would make, if Donald Trump were to pick Nikki Haley as vice president, it would be a lot of wind out of our sails.
00:15:59.000I'll tell you, Kane, it would be hard to say with a straight face that President Trump would articulate an America first agenda because Nikki Haley's not America first, obviously.
00:16:10.000She's Ukraine first or some sort of globalist ideal first.
00:16:23.000Hopefully, he's considering it behind the scenes.
00:16:25.000I think he would be a fantastic candidate.
00:16:27.000How do you turn down an offer for vice president when the president himself, although Trump has fantastic DNA and genes, how do you turn that down when the president is in his late 70s?
00:16:38.000Tucker would be one step away from the presidency of the United States.
00:16:42.000I think that would be difficult to turn down.
00:16:47.000I think he's a fantastic idea guy, but I don't think he would take it.
00:16:52.000Then you're sort of left with, you know, maybe Christy Noam, which, you know, doesn't excite me.
00:16:58.000I don't think, you know, Trump may have a point that the vice presidential candidate really doesn't drive votes, but people would not be excited about Christy Noam.
00:17:08.000And like you said, I actually think Nikki would, if Nikki were on that ticket, she would probably prevent a certain percentage of the votes from voting.
00:17:17.000If in a multi-candidate race with RFK and all this other, Dr. Ben Carson makes sense.
00:17:22.000He would consolidate evangelical conservative Christian voters.
00:17:31.000Christmas and big family feasts are upon us, but in Washington, there's no bigger turkey than Senate Bill 1339.
00:17:37.0001339 is Bernie's latest attempt to sneak in a backdoor takeover of more of our health care.
00:17:42.000It'll handcuff the pharmacy benefit managers who are currently saving millions of Americans an average of $1,040 a year.
00:17:48.000Bernie is hoping that thousands of your fellow Americans are already going to lowermydrugprices.com to stand up against S-1339, that you'll be too busy making holiday plans or getting ready for a year-end vacation.
00:18:00.000I'm urging you to keep up the pressure against the passage of S-1339 by going to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:18:07.000The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste says if you don't want a socialized system that takes away your personal health care choices, increases costs, and makes you wait longer to see the doctor that is chosen by the government, go today right now to lowermydrugprices.com to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders bill.
00:18:20.000Remember, we have the momentum, but we need your help today.
00:18:23.000Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.
00:19:00.000Thank you for what you're doing to make sure that people, A, get active and B, know how to get involved because a lot of people want to do something.
00:20:13.000We have an international army that has moved in and invaded our country from all over the world.
00:20:21.000And when Ocasio-Cortez says these are children, she needs to get down to the Tucson sector, ASAP.
00:20:28.000I'd love to take her on a tour, show her what's going on, take her over to the areas near Lukeville where people are pouring across.
00:20:34.000You know, it's so typical of the radical left.
00:20:37.000And I don't say Democrats anymore because Charlie, the Democrat Party's been traded out.
00:20:42.000The Democrat Party isn't even in existence right now in politics.
00:20:46.000This is the radical Marxist left who calls everything a climate crisis or racism or imperialism.
00:20:53.000She has no idea what's happening on the border.
00:20:56.000The only climate crisis on the border, the only environmental crisis is on the border is all of the trash that's strewn all over.
00:21:03.000What really is a crisis is the crisis to the American people, to the American economy, to the American national security with what's happening at our border.
00:21:13.000And it's only a matter of time before there is a terrorist attack.
00:21:17.000And maybe then we'll be able to go back to AOC and ask her what she thinks that.
00:21:21.000Now she'll lie and she'll just spin it and she'll say, oh, it's because of MAGA Republicans who are the true terror threats.
00:21:28.000I mean, she's such a dishonest person and not wise.
00:22:14.000And of course, there's been a lot of talk about the migrant crisis in both Illinois and New York.
00:22:18.000And it seems like even voters in those states, very blue states, states that Democrats win in general elections, almost always, they are focusing on this issue.
00:22:31.000You know, it's interesting because you can start to tell when you see people running for office, like the folks I'm running against, Ruben Gallego and Kirsten Sinema.
00:22:38.000When they start to act like they care about the border, then you know that the Democrats and the people who are voting on the Democrat ticket are starting to let them know that they think it's a problem.
00:22:48.000When people in New York City are fed up, when people in Chicago are fed up, you know the Democrats have a problem on their hands.
00:22:55.000And that's why we're seeing people like Ruben Gallego now all of a sudden feign to care about the border and Kirsten Sinema when they have voted over the course of 20 years between the two of them, two decades, to have the borders wide open.
00:23:10.000They fought President Trump at every step of the way when he wanted to get that border wall built.
00:23:15.000Now all they want to do, Charlie, is keep the problem going and pour money into the symptoms of the problem rather than fix the problem, which is stop people from coming over.
00:23:26.000And the problem is we don't have a strong leader in the White House.
00:23:35.000They don't understand how to negotiate with Mexico like President Trump did when he said, listen, we're raising tariffs on Monday morning if you don't get your military on the border and stop this insanity and stop these people from coming across.
00:24:23.000That's why everybody was so resistant when President Trump said, we can actually fix these problems.
00:24:28.000We don't have to have a border crisis that lasts forever.
00:24:31.000And they want to pour money into whether it be NGOs.
00:24:35.000You know, if you look at the money they want to pour into the border right now, Charlie, it's not to finish the wall and stop people from coming across.
00:24:43.000The money the Democrats want to pour in are to processing these people who are coming across illegally, as you call them, invaders.
00:24:52.000They want billions of dollars to be poured into busing them all over, getting them airline tickets, putting them up in hotels at a city near you.
00:25:28.000I mean, they need new voters because let me tell you, the American people are waking up very quickly to the dead end destructive policies of the left.
00:26:22.000There's no compassion from these people for the American people.
00:26:26.000I have compassion for the American people who are struggling right now.
00:26:29.000They're struggling in an economy that doesn't work.
00:26:31.000They look at the government that has been overtaken by a bunch of frauds, and they're watching the government being weaponized against them.
00:26:39.000They're watching what's happening to their children, and they don't like the direction our country is going.
00:26:44.000So, I mean, I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:26:46.000Heart attack Shrek John Fetterman has been a big surprise recently.
00:27:20.000What is Ruben Gallego saying versus his actions?
00:27:24.000And by the way, Carrie, walk our national audience through what's happening in your Senate race because not everyone is totally, I think, filled in.
00:27:40.000And I even think some of the Democrats are going to eventually come on over and vote our way because they don't like the direction the country's going.
00:27:49.000This is the actual majority in the Senate hinges on Arizona.
00:27:55.000We have a great opportunity to pick up a Senate seat, take it out of Kirsten Sinema, who's putting on an act saying she's now independent, even though she votes with Joe Biden 100% of the time since becoming an independent.
00:28:05.000I'm up by six points in a new independent poll.
00:28:08.000President Trump is up five points, but we know that's not enough.
00:28:12.000We have to be up by even bigger margins here in Arizona.
00:28:16.000We need all hands on deck to get common sense solutions to the problems that we're all just dying to fix.
00:28:23.000And we know that there's a problem because the Democrats are now starting to act like there's a problem on the border.
00:28:28.000But we can't take their act where they say, okay, we're going to do something about the border and trust them.
00:28:34.000As I've said, between these two, 10, 20 years combined in office, and they've done absolutely nothing except vote against border security, vote against strong energy policy, vote against proper education for our kids.
00:28:51.000They love the garbage our kids are being forced to learn at school.
00:28:56.000And so we've got a real opportunity to pick up this seat.
00:28:58.000We can take back our border from the cartels, which are pushing deadly fentanyl into the hands of our young generation, and we can turn things around.
00:29:06.000And Charlie, I have great confidence that we will turn things around.
00:29:10.000I know President Trump has a great agenda.
00:29:13.000We need to have a strong Senate so we can get his judicial picks through, his SCODIS picks, and all of his cabinet appointees through as well.
00:29:23.000All right, I want to tell you about Herzog.
00:29:27.000I want you guys to check it out right now.
00:29:29.000We've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.
00:29:37.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.
00:29:43.000They are the trusted source of American K-12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources for parents and grandparents.
00:29:49.000From their online publication, Alliance or the new podcast, Making the Leap, Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents.
00:29:56.000To learn more about how your family and faith and community can flourish through a quality Christian education, go to HerzogFoundation.com.
00:31:15.000We're going to look back at this, Charlie, as one of the darkest, darkest moments in our history.
00:31:20.000And we're going to have to do some serious work with these children who've been indoctrinated into thinking that they can be a different gender.
00:31:27.000This is mental illness that's being pushed on our kids.
00:31:30.000And as a mother, I'm greatly concerned about it.
00:31:34.000It's people who come up to me on the campaign trail.
00:31:37.000You know, I have a real, I'm blessed, I should say.
00:31:41.000I'm very blessed because I have a relationship with the people of Arizona that I've had for three decades after being in their homes as an honest journalist and then running an incredible campaign for governor where I talk to more Arizonans than probably any other politician in the whole country and talk to more people because people know me and they come up and talk to me.
00:32:05.000They don't like what's being pushed on them at school.
00:32:08.000And if we don't get serious about educating our kids, we're going to have an entire generation of kids who are unemployable.
00:32:15.000They will not have the skills to do the jobs that are out there.
00:32:19.000And we're already seeing signs of that.
00:32:21.000You just mentioned your book talking about what a scam college is.
00:32:25.000And this is why one of the policies I'm going to be pushing in the United States Senate is pushing to get more kids into skills training and career training where they don't end up $100,000 in debt and unemployable, where they actually end up with great skills.
00:32:41.000And not only are they employable, they can start their own company and grow a company and live the American dream.
00:32:48.000So, Sir Kerry, I hate to put you on the spot here, but at AmericaFest, you were the number one write-in candidate for VP.
00:32:53.000We didn't have you on there because of obviously the Senate race.
00:32:56.000I mean, I'm sure, would you accept that as your priority on the Senate race?
00:33:00.000Because I'm sure people are mentioning you like crazy to be vice president for Trump.
00:33:14.000But what I'm saying is we have so many incredible people in our movement that President Trump has a large pool of great contenders to choose from.
00:33:24.000My focus right now is my U.S. Senate race and getting President Trump the victory he needs.
00:33:29.000Honestly, I am gravely concerned about our country.
00:33:32.000We have to fight like heck to get President Trump to win.
00:33:36.000The polls show he's up 55 and 60 points.
00:33:39.000I don't rest lightly on the polls because I've had polls that showed us up 12 points.
00:33:46.000And we've seen what happened in elections in the past.
00:33:49.000So we have to be up and we have to fight hard for President Trump.
