The Charlie Kirk Show - Is The GOP Ready For A Midterm Courtroom Brawl? with Matt Schlapp and Robby Starbuck

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today the Charlie Kirk show.

00:00:01.000 Robbie Starbuck goes through the latest DHS leaks and the schlaps, Matt and Mercy Schlap.

00:00:06.000 We go around the horn on the races to watch as we are just hours from election day.

00:00:10.000 Take out your phone and text at least 10 friends trying to encourage them to vote and persuading them to vote the proper way.

00:00:17.000 On Tuesday, we need to overwhelm the system on Tuesday.

00:00:21.000 We are hours away from Judgment Day.

00:00:23.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:24.000 Here we go.

00:00:25.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:27.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:29.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:32.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:36.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:37.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:38.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:45.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:46.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:55.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:58.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:03.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:10.000 Joining us now is the man behind CPAC, great organization, and also really understands what's happening in the midterm elections better than almost anybody else.

00:01:20.000 Matt Schlapp joins us right now.

00:01:22.000 Matt, welcome back to the program.

00:01:23.000 Hey, Charlie, great to be with you from Loudoun, New Hampshire.

00:01:27.000 Tell us, what is the vibe on the ground?

00:01:29.000 You think Bullbick can pull this off?

00:01:31.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:01:31.000 I just talked with the general.

00:01:34.000 He just had a town hall in this tavern.

00:01:36.000 And I just came from Nevada, by the way.

00:01:37.000 Adam Laxalt is closing really strong.

00:01:40.000 And New Hampshire, a lot of people haven't tracked New Hampshire because the DC insiders didn't, they told us it wasn't a pickup opportunity.

00:01:48.000 But I'm here to tell you, Charlie, General's going to win this race in New Hampshire.

00:01:52.000 If you look at just the environment of the issues, it all goes our way.

00:01:55.000 It's all just about defending America.

00:01:58.000 So in New Hampshire, it's a tricky state because Matt, you and I have heard for years that New Hampshire is, you know, possibly able to be won by Republicans, but it always feels like a near-miss state.

00:02:10.000 Why do you think this year is different?

00:02:13.000 Well, I think this year is different because just look at the fundamentals in polling and what the people care about.

00:02:19.000 It really cuts our way.

00:02:21.000 New Hampshire, you know, the big mistake we make in America is we say, oh, there's red states and we say there's blue states.

00:02:27.000 And we assume that's some kind of like a lifetime contract, but politics is different.

00:02:31.000 You know that because you're down there in Arizona.

00:02:34.000 It's always changing.

00:02:35.000 And what I've noticed just being on the ground in a short time in New Hampshire is what made New Hampshire solidly Republican in previous cycles, I think, is at play again.

00:02:44.000 Our constitution, our basic rights as citizens, our right to govern ourselves in our own lives and for the government to get out and not dictate every part of our life.

00:02:54.000 You know, there's a libertarian flair to that that really plays well in a state that whose motto is live free or die.

00:03:01.000 And the Democratic Party plays well in these types of states when it seems like they want to help the little guy or the average guy.

00:03:08.000 This Democrat wants to tell the average guy or the little guy that they're a racist, that they're a hater, that they're ruining their kids and that their country is bad.

00:03:18.000 And it is not playing in New Hampshire, not one bit.

00:03:20.000 Yeah.

00:03:21.000 And so I see that in many different ways. 0.62

00:03:24.000 And Maggie Hassan hasn't really built a good name ID for her in New Hampshire.

00:03:28.000 In addition, how do you feel about the Caroline Levitt race? 1.00

00:03:31.000 It looks like she's running away with it.

00:03:33.000 Yeah, from what I'm seeing in the polling on the ground is that's really turning our way.

00:03:38.000 You know, the hard part on the house races, Charlie, you know, I feel like I'm so much older than you.

00:03:43.000 Like I feel like I'm your grandpa sometimes, but it is true that, you know, these races on the house side, they come to play late. 1.00

00:03:52.000 So what you want to do when you're predicting these house races like Katie's race is to see what's the direction in the country and what's the direction in that state.

00:04:00.000 And I'm telling you this, as I said, I'm 54 years old.

00:04:03.000 I've been doing this my whole adult life.

00:04:05.000 I don't think we're going to see a midterm like this that's this consequential in the rest of my life.

00:04:11.000 I think it's the American people saying, you know what?

00:04:13.000 I don't have to agree with everything the elephant stands for.

00:04:16.000 You know, maybe I'm not even in the Republican Party, but I love my country.

00:04:20.000 And now there's only one party that defends America and that's the Republican Party.

00:04:25.000 And I think that's why people like Katie will win.

00:04:27.000 Yeah.

00:04:27.000 And so look, I think one of the concerns I have is a little bit too much cockiness going into election day.

00:04:33.000 You and I both shared a lot of concerns about the Trump campaign in 2020 that felt that there was just this kind of prideful attitude towards the end.

00:04:41.000 I talk about this where there was just a lot.

00:04:43.000 There wasn't the election infrastructure that was necessary, poll watchers, election judges.

00:04:47.000 And I just kept on hearing, and Matt, you and I were texting during the time, why is everyone talking about a landslide?

00:04:52.000 Why is everyone?

00:04:52.000 It's like, this is going to be closer than people realize.

00:04:56.000 And I mean, in some ways, I literally saw the champagne was flowing before the ballots were counted, literally in some of the rooms there.

00:05:02.000 So Matt, I want to make sure we correct that.

00:05:04.000 And I understand the attitude of, hey, you know, we think we have all these supporters and all that, but we're dealing up against some very treacherous and sneaky people.

00:05:12.000 Can you expand on that, Matt?

00:05:14.000 Yeah, so let's go through 2020.

00:05:16.000 The reason why you and I were so concerned in 2020 is because we didn't see the legal infrastructure in the Trump campaign at the RNC.

00:05:26.000 And we knew that all these ballots, like I had been on the ground in Nevada, there was all these stray paper ballots.

00:05:30.000 And we're trying to get our own team to wake up because every time they gave us a presentation on how they were going to prepare for the fraud, we could see that it was threadbare and they weren't ready for it.

00:05:40.000 The reason why people like me, the reason why I'm so bullish in saying it's going to be a big red wave is because I feel like when they overturned Roe v. Wade, there was a concerted effort by establishment Republicans and people in the media to say that the Republican Party can't win if it stands up for its pro-life values.

00:05:58.000 So the reason I was saying big red wave is number one, I believe that it's going to be a big red wave.

00:06:03.000 But the second reason is because I didn't want the media to manipulate consumers of media into thinking that somehow the pro-life issue was going to hurt us.

00:06:13.000 It's going to help us all over the country.

00:06:15.000 But your last point is a very, very important point.

00:06:18.000 I do think there's been a lot of learnings.

00:06:20.000 I was just on the ground in North Carolina with Ted Budd, Chairman Michael Watley and the other folks, they have literally hundreds of lawyers ready.

00:06:28.000 He was actually ready in 2020.

00:06:30.000 We didn't need them in North Carolina.

00:06:32.000 You know, it's a strange thing in politics, Charlie.

00:06:34.000 When you prepare for something like voter fraud, it's amazing how many times you don't need to use the infrastructure because the other side knows we're ready.

00:06:42.000 What I'm seeing on the ground in these races is that quietly we've put legal teams together in many of these states, not all of them.

00:06:51.000 You would know better about Arizona, but I think we're ready for the fraud and it could come similar to last time.

00:06:58.000 Yeah, I think that's right.

00:06:59.000 And I just, I don't want to see too much early celebration.

00:07:02.000 And Matt, we got to overwhelm the system on election day.

00:07:04.000 I think we're going to see presidential style Republican turnout.

00:07:07.000 I think people are going to be completely and totally blown away.

00:07:10.000 And independents are already trending and breaking our way.

00:07:13.000 So again, on Nevada, you think Adam Laxalt has it?

00:07:17.000 You know, he'd be mad at me if I said he had it because he wants to run through the tape.

00:07:20.000 That's right.

00:07:20.000 He's going to say this.

00:07:22.000 The only polls that show Adam Laxalt down are polls that are continuing to pull registered voters.

00:07:28.000 And what you want to do is pull registered voters who are also likely voters.

00:07:32.000 So if you're right, we have presidential level turnout.

00:07:35.000 It still means that you want to get that population of registered voters who are going to turn out.

00:07:40.000 When you look at those polls, we're up in every single statewide race that matters, up in every single one.

00:07:48.000 And then you have New Hampshire.

00:07:49.000 You just brought up Blake Masters in Arizona.

00:07:51.000 These races that the DC smart guys told us were impossible to win, I think we're going to win them.

00:07:56.000 Well, and that, you know, Matt, that's what really fires me up.

00:07:59.000 And why is it that all, I mean, McConnell, he pulls $9 million to go help Murkowski in Alaska and completely abandons Blake Masters and Boldick.

00:08:08.000 I mean, this needs to be known.

00:08:11.000 The marker needs to be thrown on the field right now that if we win New Hampshire and Arizona, it is not because of McConnell.

00:08:16.000 He can't take credit for this.

00:08:18.000 It's in spite of it, actually.

00:08:20.000 You know, I'm kind of shocked because Senator McConnell's been doing this a long time.

00:08:24.000 He's a smart guy.

00:08:25.000 He loves politics, but he's created a little bit of a perverse situation for himself where he's created some hostility with some candidates who his people around him said couldn't win.

00:08:36.000 But I got news for you, Charlie.

00:08:38.000 You got news for people because you and I agree.

00:08:40.000 We're going to win these races.

00:08:41.000 And when they come to Washington, they're going to be completely independent.

00:08:44.000 And by the way, what is so terrible about that?

00:08:47.000 Someone who's completely divorced from the money and the power and the influence of Washington, D.C. All they have to do is what's right for their constituents.

00:08:55.000 And when I look at the issue set that the American people care about, they want to get back to using American energy.

00:09:01.000 They want to drill, baby, drill.

00:09:03.000 They want to make it so that the staples that we have to buy to take care of our families are affordable. 0.75

00:09:08.000 So no more super juice in the economy with a bunch of emergency spending.

00:09:12.000 And let's face it, this president is a disaster.

00:09:16.000 I don't think that he ran a campaign that was fair and square last time.

00:09:20.000 And I don't think he's up to the job.

00:09:22.000 And I think everyone in this country understands that.

00:09:25.000 I think the president's wife understands that.

00:09:27.000 Yeah, I mean, he's not a good person either. 0.97

00:09:29.000 He's a very cruel and petty and small man. 0.95

00:09:32.000 He's not a good person. 1.00

00:09:32.000 That's right. 1.00

00:09:33.000 Matt, we have you for another segment.

00:09:34.000 How do people support you, CPAC?

00:09:37.000 What website?

00:09:38.000 Well, today they can support us by just going out and voting for the nearest pro-American candidate they can find.

00:09:44.000 But you can follow me on at M Schlap on Twitter.

00:09:46.000 You can go to conservative.org.

00:09:48.000 If you want to help out CPAC and come hang out with us or Turning Point, these couple of groups out there in this country, we're going to save this country if we all work together.

00:09:59.000 Are you tired of feeling tired?

00:10:00.000 I've never experienced anything quite like the new Strong Cell product.

00:10:03.000 Seriously, I take it every day.

00:10:04.000 It's amazing.

00:10:05.000 You've got to read up on everything that has been packed into these tiny little bottles.

00:10:08.000 Strong Cell is a new scientific cocktail of cellular level replenishment.

00:10:14.000 I take it before every show, every day.

00:10:16.000 In fact, one of our team members showed it to me.

00:10:18.000 I said, I love it.

00:10:18.000 Can we partner with these guys?

00:10:19.000 And boom, here we are.

00:10:20.000 It's so simple.

00:10:21.000 Just drink one bottle of strong cell liquid per day.

00:10:23.000 And the strong cell bottles that arrive at your home include NADH.

00:10:27.000 Boy, I could go on about NAD.

00:10:29.000 It's a coenzyme for creating natural energy and restoration in your body cells.

00:10:34.000 It also contains collagen, well documented for its vast health benefits.

00:10:38.000 Your body should experience an energy boost the first week, but within 15 days, you'll start noticing even more benefits.

00:10:43.000 30 days, you'll be feeling much different.

00:10:45.000 Do me a favor and consider giving the supplement the full four weeks versus one bottle to realize the best results for you.

00:10:51.000 The formula is designed to generate long-term positive change, unlike energy drinks.

00:10:55.000 It's not an artificial boost of immediate energy like caffeine.

00:10:58.000 I'm talking about cellular level restoration.

00:11:00.000 Learn about right now at their website.

00:11:02.000 And look, NAD, you guys should research the benefits of NAD.

00:11:05.000 I take NAD a lot.

00:11:07.000 And now I get it every day.

00:11:08.000 Boom, just in these little strong cell drinks.

00:11:42.000 You won't regret it.

00:11:45.000 I understand we have Mercy Schlapp as well with us.

00:11:48.000 Hello, my son, Charlie.

00:11:50.000 How are you?

00:11:51.000 Great.

00:11:51.000 Good to see you.

00:11:53.000 So, I want to ask both of you: what are some of the sleeper races you have around the country that you think might shock the world on election night?

00:12:01.000 Well, you know, I feel like I'm in the races that are going to shock the world.

00:12:05.000 Like, you know, literally, I was telling everybody, do not give up on this guy, Blake Masters.

00:12:09.000 He can win this race.

00:12:11.000 And now he is.

00:12:12.000 And now you see this, what's going on in New Hampshire.

00:12:15.000 But I want to bring up something on sleeper races real quick, Mercy.

00:12:18.000 I'm going to give you time to figure out what your answer is. 1.00

00:12:20.000 Look where we have the most violence in this country, Charlie.

00:12:24.000 Oregon, state of Washington, Minnesota, where the whole George Floyd thing started.

00:12:30.000 New York and New York City, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

00:12:33.000 Virginia took care of business.

00:12:35.000 Those other four states, these governors' races in these states, they shouldn't even be competitive.

00:12:40.000 I think we could win all of them.

00:12:42.000 Mercy, what do you think?

00:12:43.000 I got to tell you, I mean, just being here in New Hampshire, spending time with Don Bullduck, he is so impressive.

00:12:51.000 I could completely understand why you're seeing so many independents and people from New Hampshire backing this candidate.

00:12:59.000 Let's remember: Democrats, Republicans are being outspent by Democrats, in many cases, three to one, four to one.

00:13:07.000 It's insane the amount of money that's been thrown into these races.

00:13:12.000 And quite frankly, these Republican candidates have been able to close that gap and really start seeing.

00:13:20.000 We're starting to see that the momentum is shifting in their direction.

00:13:23.000 I mean, I definitely think here in New Hampshire, that this is definitely the race to watch.

00:13:28.000 I would love to see an upset in Oregon.

00:13:30.000 And then I think Lee Zeldon has made such a compelling case in New York to win that governor's race.

00:13:36.000 And school boards.

00:13:37.000 Don't forget school boards.

00:13:38.000 Everywhere I go, I meet two or three school board candidates.

00:13:41.000 These folks are going to win.

00:13:42.000 And in addition to that, it looks like that we might see some things happen in the state of Washington with Patty Murray and Tiffany Smiley.

00:13:51.000 That seems like to be a very close race.

00:13:53.000 Colorado seemed to be kind of left for dead.

00:13:55.000 There were some rumblings in the summer, but a new Trafalgar poll shows that Joe O'Day is within two points of Bennett.

00:14:02.000 New Mexico, that governor's race could go anyway.

00:14:04.000 I mean, it is, it could be a very, very interesting evening.

00:14:07.000 What do you guys think about the Midwestern governorships, especially Michigan and Minnesota?

00:14:12.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:14:13.000 We just came out of helping Tudor in Michigan.

00:14:16.000 We're a totally believer in her ability to win that race.

00:14:20.000 You know, Minnesota, I know less about the candidate, but I do know, you know, states like Minnesota, they're always gettable if it goes the right way.

00:14:29.000 And so it goes back to our previous conversation, Charlie.

00:14:32.000 Are the issues laying down in the right way for us in this election?

00:14:36.000 And they just are.

00:14:37.000 It turns out the Democrats' strategy to not debate was a better strategy than debating because when they do debate, like they did when Maggie Hassan debated here in New Hampshire last night, she doesn't have answers to all the issues that voters care about.

00:14:50.000 Price of gasoline, what's going on with our border, escalating crime, and all the stuff that's going on in schools.

00:14:58.000 Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

00:15:00.000 And so the final kind of call to action, guys, is we need to not just get people to vote, but get four, five, 10, 20 friends also to vote.

00:15:07.000 If we overwhelm the system on election day, we're going to be able to really shock the world.

00:15:13.000 Just talk about that a little bit, Mercy or Matt, about how we can't be complacent, even if you think the polls are going well.

00:15:19.000 That's my biggest worry.

00:15:20.000 That's my biggest remaining worry is people just sitting at home and not taking this seriously.

00:15:25.000 You're right, Charlie.

00:15:26.000 And first of all, start with prayer.

00:15:28.000 This is a moment in time that we have to get down on our knees and pray and know that this red wave is so important just for saving this country.

00:15:37.000 Secondly, it's making sure that you are involved in being in the room where they're counting the votes.

00:15:43.000 See, my biggest concern in cities like Detroit and Philadelphia is what could happen there.

00:15:49.000 I mean, Matt, you were in Nevada and you saw what happened in Carson City.

00:15:53.000 And so, and I think really, Charlie, being able to be in the room where the votes are being counted, being present is important.

00:16:00.000 Volunteer for the job.

00:16:01.000 You know, take or take the job.

00:16:03.000 Take the job.

00:16:04.000 A part-time job, 10 bucks an hour.

00:16:06.000 Get in that room.

00:16:06.000 Take your cell phone with you.

00:16:08.000 Right.

00:16:08.000 And I think that's going to be the key because remember, Pennsylvania, Charlie, they're already saying the Secretary of State, oh, it could be days before we learn about the final start of the election.

00:16:17.000 That never goes well for Republicans.

00:16:19.000 It very rarely goes well for Republicans. 0.98

00:16:21.000 And it's just ridiculous. 0.81

00:16:22.000 We had the winner of the election the night of 2016.

00:16:25.000 We knew Trump won in an orderly fashion, and now it has to take five to seven to 15 to 20 days.

00:16:29.000 It's an insult.

00:16:30.000 Mercy and Matt, thank you guys so much.

00:16:32.000 Appreciate it.

00:16:33.000 Talk to you soon.

00:16:33.000 Thank you.

00:16:34.000 Great to see you.

00:16:35.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:16:38.000 I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country, created by co-founder of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.

00:16:44.000 The folks at Job Creators Network defend and advance policies that help small business owners across America grow their business.

00:16:51.000 We talk a lot about labor in the media, and we're always responding to the complaints of labor.

00:16:57.000 And that's fine.

00:16:57.000 Obviously, it's important.

00:16:58.000 But who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy?

00:17:03.000 Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Job Creators Network, that's right, Job Creators Network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

00:18:00.000 Joining us now is Robbie Starbuck, great guy who should be in Congress, and we'll see if we can get that done one day.

00:18:06.000 But he has some really important commentary and information to share about the bombshell story the media has ignored of the Department of Homeland Security leaks.

00:18:14.000 Robbie joins us now.

00:18:15.000 Robbie, welcome back to the program.

00:18:17.000 Thanks for having me, Charlie.

00:18:18.000 Good to see you.

00:18:19.000 Robbie, for those in our audience that are not caught up to date to this story because they're just got a lot of things going on and we've been so focused on the election, which is where we should be focused.

00:18:27.000 Walk us through this story.

00:18:28.000 Yeah, so I mean, it's pretty wild.

00:18:31.000 This is honestly groundbreaking in many different ways in terms of the lines crossed by the U.S. government.

00:18:36.000 But essentially, Department of Homeland Security and State Department both coordinated with a group called the EIP, which stands for the Election Integrity Partnership.

00:18:44.000 It's composed of four entities.

00:18:46.000 Those four entities have been given over $12 million in grants by the Biden administration, including over $3 million specifically earmarked for going and fighting misinformation through the EIP.

00:18:59.000 And as a part of this whole project, the EIP created an enemies list that includes you and me and about 20 other people on it.

00:19:09.000 What's unique about this list is when they made this, I was an active candidate for federal office.

00:19:16.000 So this would be the first time the U.S. government has essentially engaged in open censorship, paying a group, an outside group, to go and get involved in a political race.

00:19:28.000 I'm sure, given all the abuses we've seen from the FBI and DOJ, that this is stuff that may have been going on for a very long time without people knowing, but they did this in a very bold manner, you know?

00:19:40.000 And so we saw the story from the intercept this week that kind of furthered this, showing the portals that DHS and other entities had access to.

00:19:48.000 And these portals would allow outsiders within the EIP and within governments to go and make specific requests to the social media companies.

00:19:58.000 Now, the question is, you know, were they successful in censoring their political opponents?

00:20:03.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:20:04.000 And so they even brag about it in their report that they were successful in censoring these individuals, including you and I.

00:20:12.000 And so in my case, you know, what they were able to do is get me search banned.

00:20:16.000 And so if you don't already follow me, you were unable to search my name out despite having verified accounts on all platforms.

00:20:23.000 You couldn't search the name out on Instagram or Twitter or those platforms because they would just hide it from you and you would just see fake accounts.

00:20:31.000 Now, in the case of you and I, what we suspect, and this is something that's going to take discovery, is that there was de-boosting used.

00:20:39.000 And you can see that just in the engagement levels.

00:20:41.000 I'm sure you can attest to after, you know, the time the EIP put this stuff out, the engagement dropped dramatically in ways that just didn't make any sense.

00:20:49.000 I don't mean to interrupt, Robbie, but you know, we sounded kind of so, I don't know, people accused us of being petulant and childish because I was like, oh, I'm not getting as many retweets as before, but it's legit. 0.94

00:20:59.000 I mean, we used to get 110,000 retweets a day.

00:21:02.000 I know that's hard for people to believe.

00:21:03.000 We have the data to prove it.

00:21:05.000 We had the third most popular Twitter account for a period of time.

00:21:07.000 And now it's hard to get more than 5,000.

00:21:09.000 You have to really work at it.

00:21:10.000 I mean, this is, but it's the federal government doing this.

00:21:13.000 How is it legal?

00:21:15.000 It's not legal.

00:21:16.000 It's illegal.

00:21:17.000 And honestly, you know, I think one of the next steps is groups of us have to band together and sue the federal government over this because if we don't, it's going to continue.

00:21:25.000 And we're sort of the stopgap.

00:21:27.000 And honestly, they need to pay us damages because they did incredible damage to you, your organization, me, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr.

00:21:34.000 And think about the numbers of people who are not woken up because of this.

00:21:38.000 You can attest to this.

00:21:39.000 I get messages all the time, and I know you do too, from people who have their own story about how we helped wake them up and get them out of the Democratic Party or just ignite them as a voter and say, you know what, okay, I'm going to get active.

00:21:52.000 And so the suppression was about stopping that because people like you and I are doing something dangerous to the elite, to the Democratic Party, to really just the entire state of being that we've seen for the elite throughout the World Economic Forum, everything.

00:22:06.000 This is a global movement, not just the U.S.

00:22:09.000 And so everything they can do to suppress that is also why they're so angry about Elon Musk buying Twitter because the threat of it possibly actually becoming a free speech platform, and we're not there yet, but I believe we can get there.

00:22:23.000 If that truly happens, they know the outcome.

00:22:25.000 They know they can't debate people like you and I. Their ideas lose in the court of public opinion if it's actually tested.

00:22:31.000 And on a free speech platform, it's going to be tested without us having to fear, oh, are we going to lose our accounts?

00:22:37.000 But, you know, back to what I said about...

00:22:39.000 Smart.

00:22:39.000 Yeah, keep going.

00:22:40.000 Back to what I said about the engagement levels.

00:22:42.000 I mean, that's huge.

00:22:43.000 I mean, I can tell you in 2020, we were getting somewhere on an average of 70 to 80 million impressions just on my Twitter a month.

00:22:49.000 And in some months, it was 100 million plus.

00:22:52.000 And, you know, when you flip that into after the EIP takes action, you're talking about 20 million, you know, 15 million, things along those lines over the course of every 30-day period.

00:23:03.000 And that's dramatic, dramatic drop off where you're still affecting people, but nowhere near the same numbers and breaking through that message to new communities.

00:23:12.000 And that was really what they were trying to protect against is how do we keep these people from reaching new communities while making it look semi-believable.

00:23:20.000 And the truth is they failed because, like the left often does, they like to brag about their censorship and their fascist tactics.

00:23:27.000 And so they brag too much.

00:23:29.000 And that's how this got out into the public sphere to the point where now even the intercept has admitted that, you know, this is happening because that was their first step is they tried to pretend this isn't happening.

00:23:39.000 And the Intercept, a pretty left-leaning news organization, has now admitted it.

00:23:43.000 And I reached out to the writer, Lee Fang, and I said, on the record, are you able to say there's actually a connection here between your story and what the EIP did to us?

00:23:52.000 And he told me, yes, 100%, there is a connection here, and it's something he hopes to write more about.

00:23:59.000 So I think the Intercept is going to have further reporting on this.

00:24:03.000 But I mean, if you go there, it's on my Twitter page, and it's the very first thing.

00:24:08.000 Um, pinned on my account so people can read through the whole thread, because it explains everything.

00:24:14.000 And I think the best way to think about this is like, you know how you know the government for a long time has done this in foreign countries, where they'll have you know say, the CIA get involved in an election in South America somewhere.

00:24:29.000 Well, this is them doing the same thing domestically that people have had a problem with them doing internationally for a very long time, and people need to understand that this is a testing moment.

00:24:40.000 If we allow this, this will not just become the norm.

00:24:43.000 They will press further and further down this road until we don't have elections.

00:24:48.000 Yeah, no kidding.

00:24:49.000 And so here's another wrinkle of this.

00:24:52.000 I think we're going to do well on tuesday if everybody votes and get your friends to vote 5 10 15 20, get them out to the polls vote vote, vote.

00:24:59.000 But this is what's so interesting is, did Congress authorize this or did DHS just do this on their own?

00:25:05.000 I mean, is this is a massive example of the fourth branch of government, isn't it?

00:25:10.000 They just did it on their own.

00:25:12.000 And again, this is the enemy of the people.

00:25:14.000 Is that administrative state?

00:25:15.000 Is that fourth branch of the government.

00:25:17.000 It is the enemy of the people. 0.96

00:25:18.000 It does not get talked about enough.

00:25:20.000 I mean there's there's a couple of news stories in our country that just don't get talked about.

00:25:24.000 One is excess deaths.

00:25:25.000 It should be the biggest you know story in the world, in my opinion, yeah.

00:25:29.000 The other one is the administrative state in in our government.

00:25:32.000 It is a monster and it has taken on a life of its own where it essentially runs day-to-day government life for everything and surreptitiously overrules Congress and the people's elected representatives.

00:25:44.000 Now here's the other thing. 0.95

00:25:45.000 That's concerning what Republican representatives Charlie have come out and said.

00:25:49.000 When we take the majority, we are going to crush DHS over this and we are going to get to the bottom of it.

00:25:55.000 Not enough people.

00:25:56.000 I mean I got to give Blake Masters credit and Jd, and they're in heated campaigns, so I mean they got to stay focused.

00:26:01.000 I think they would do.

00:26:01.000 I think senator Vance will take this on.

00:26:03.000 I do I, oh yeah no, I think they will.

00:26:05.000 The new, the new school, you know this new right of people like Jd Vance, Blake Masters, so critical to get them in because they will go and attack this stuff.

00:26:13.000 Now, in terms of current members, the only people who I know of, who have been Marjorie and Rand Paul yeah yeah, and and look.

00:26:23.000 I think part of it though is, you know, politicians are singing off of the song sheet that we provide them right.

00:26:29.000 So when they win and if we get them into office, we have to have an agenda here.

00:26:34.000 Right, we have to have marching orders, and one of them needs to be an all-out attack on the administrative state and, interestingly enough, going after the administrative state, I think, can actually unite some of these other weaker Republicans because philosophically, they should be on board for that Right.

00:26:51.000 I mean, there's a lot of kind of moderate think tank energy that has tried for years to go after the administrative state.

00:26:57.000 But now, those of us on the new right with the, you know, the real enthusiasm, I think we can really go after this.

00:27:01.000 But what is the call to action?

00:27:03.000 I mean, we need to have a church and pike committee against DHS. 1.00

00:27:05.000 How can you use taxpayer money to then go shut up the leading influencers on social media?

00:27:11.000 How is this even remotely okay?

00:27:13.000 Honestly, in my opinion, I think people need to actually go to jail over this.

00:27:18.000 It's one of those lines where if Republicans crossed it, people would go to jail for it.

00:27:22.000 And so we need to create a level playing field when it comes to justice.

00:27:25.000 And I think that's going to take till 2024, probably.

00:27:28.000 But in 2022, we need to get those hearings and they need to be serious.

00:27:32.000 We need people under oath. 0.72

00:27:33.000 We need there to be consequences.

00:27:35.000 And we need to strip DHS of funding for anything remotely like this when we get into these omnibus bills.

00:27:42.000 And honestly, we need to fight to get rid of the omnibus bills.

00:27:45.000 But beyond all that, we need our members to speak up.

00:27:48.000 And so your casual person listening right now, if you can take five minutes to reach out to your representative and tell them that you expect them to go and demand hearings over this and to stop DHS from censoring people, do that.

00:28:02.000 It actually makes a difference.

00:28:03.000 Yeah, it does.

00:28:04.000 And the new guys, hopefully, Senator Masters and hope that definitely look like Senator Vance and some of these new people, Senator Bulldock, which would be really interesting to see, and Senator Laxalt, who's a great guy, right?

00:28:16.000 I'm just saying this.

00:28:17.000 I'm trying to speak it into existence, right?

00:28:19.000 With these guys right on the edge, because I also want to give our base some motivation to go vote.

00:28:22.000 They're like, oh, what's the difference?

00:28:23.000 This is a big difference.

00:28:24.000 I'm telling you right now, Senator Masters, Senator Vance, or Senator Laxalt, they will take this seriously.

00:28:30.000 And they will get some of these old bulls to actually care about it because a lot of these old bulls, they don't know what Twitter or Facebook is.

00:28:36.000 They don't have no idea.

00:28:37.000 A lot of them don't know what's going on.

00:28:38.000 But this is just one of the many issues, isn't it, Robbie?

00:28:42.000 But if we are allowing DHS to use taxpayer funding to go shut up political dissidents, I mean, we're already in Soviet times.

00:28:51.000 Oh, a thousand percent.

00:28:52.000 I mean, I would argue we're there and it's really a matter of survival.

00:28:56.000 Are we going to choose to survive as a nation and get back to the underpinnings of what we were founded on?

00:29:01.000 Or are we going to essentially relinquish all control and authority to a group of Marxist bandits who want nothing more than to destroy everything we know and love?

00:29:11.000 And you're right.

00:29:12.000 A lot of the people who have been there for too long on our side, even though they may agree with us on issues, they don't get it.

00:29:17.000 They don't know what time it is.

00:29:19.000 And it's so critical people get out and vote and elect these new people because getting just some of those voices in there is going to bring just such important change to our Congress to get people on the right messaging.

00:29:35.000 You know, first, that's step one.

00:29:37.000 But number two, to get the right bills done.

00:29:39.000 And so I'm so enthusiastic.

00:29:41.000 I mean, I voted yesterday because, and I'm a big proponent of voting the day of on election day, but I did it yesterday because I'm so excited about Blake Masters and Carrie Lake that I'm going to make a surprise.

00:29:53.000 Don't tell Carrie.

00:29:54.000 I'm going to surprise Carrie and come down there to see her and Blake win because I think they're going to win.

00:30:00.000 And I love Carrie and I want to see it happen.

00:30:03.000 It's a big deal, Robbie, to have your support here.

00:30:05.000 I live in Arizona.

00:30:06.000 And I want to thank you for that.

00:30:08.000 And I think it's really, really important.

00:30:09.000 So, Robbie, walk us through some of the candidates that you're most excited about.

00:30:13.000 House candidates, Senate candidates that you're really looking at.

00:30:16.000 Obviously, Carrie and Blake, which are great.

00:30:18.000 I'm going to try to steal you to come on our live stream, by the way, on election night, which is a really magnificent thing.

00:30:23.000 Our team will be in touch.

00:30:24.000 But tell us, what candidates are you looking at?

00:30:26.000 I mean, I have to just go back to Carrie first because Carrie and I spoke long before she came out about politics.

00:30:32.000 And we like, I just knew she was so incredible, so smart, right on the issues.

00:30:37.000 And I was like, Carrie, you have got to run for office.

00:30:39.000 So I'm very proud of the fact that was her very first endorsement when she ran for governor.

00:30:45.000 And I just love her.

00:30:47.000 She is going to be a superstar, and I think is going to set the standard in the way DeSantis sort of has as governor, where everybody's going to be going, Hey, my governor, you need to be more like Kerry.

00:30:57.000 Um, and so it's good that we're getting these people in there that can set that standard of the new right and set that path forward.

00:31:03.000 So, the norm becomes eventually, you know, 10 years from now, that the entire Congress and governors' mansions and everything are filled with people like that.

00:31:12.000 Um, but in Congress, you know, I'm very excited about Anna Paulina.

00:31:16.000 I think she's going to bring incredible change and challenge the squad in ways they've never been challenged before.

00:31:22.000 So, I think she's an incredible one for people to get behind and can really, you know, she can be somebody who ends up in the Senate, ends up being governor one day.

00:31:31.000 I think she's got a bright, bright, bright future.

00:31:34.000 Um, I love Blake Masters because, again, I think he's one of those standard setters in JD dance as well.

00:31:39.000 It's about setting that new standard.

00:31:42.000 And Bull Dock, I think, is very interesting because nobody expected him to win in the establishment, but I think he has a very good chance of winning in New Hampshire.

00:31:51.000 Caroline Levitt, as well, I think she also has a very good chance of winning in New Hampshire and can be one of those young voices to challenge the squad and to challenge that progressive movement overall.

00:32:02.000 But again, you know, it's the entire group that's so important because getting all of them in is so critical to having alliances built within there that the establishment can't go and suppress them.

00:32:15.000 They can become change makers that have the power collectively to stop bad establishment uniparty bills from happening.

00:32:22.000 And so, that's what's critical.

00:32:24.000 And it's why, even if there's somebody I didn't name who, you know, is part of that group, they're also critical to get out and vote for because if you take a couple of them out, then you don't have the numbers to stop those uniparty bills.

00:32:37.000 I totally agree, Robbie.

00:32:39.000 We're out of time.

00:32:39.000 I hope to see you in Phoenix when you're here.

00:32:41.000 You're a great voice.

00:32:42.000 We'll get you to Congress soon.

00:32:43.000 Don't give up. 0.88

00:32:44.000 That whole thing was such a ridiculous theatrical nightmare.

00:32:48.000 But you're doing a great job and we're behind you.

00:32:50.000 And thank you.

00:32:51.000 The DHS thing, let me know where to sign up, when to sue the government.

00:32:54.000 I'm all on board for that.

00:32:55.000 So I got enough stuff going on.

00:32:57.000 You take the lead.

00:32:57.000 I'll happily join forces with you on that.

00:32:59.000 So, Robbie, thank you.

00:33:00.000 I appreciate it, buddy.

00:33:01.000 Thanks.

00:33:02.000 Thank you.

00:33:02.000 See you soon.
