00:00:39.000I encourage you guys to go to charliekirk.com for all the latest happenings of this podcast and stay subscribed.
00:00:46.000We have the battle plan and the pathway forward to defeat the Radical Democrats to keep America away from cultural arson so that we can make our country stable, safe, and free for future generations.
00:01:00.000Biden and Harris start their campaign.
00:01:02.000We have the analysis and insight that no one else has.
00:01:20.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:40.000Senator Harris and Joe Biden kicked off their campaign officially in a very awkward and socially distanced pair of announcements.
00:01:49.000Now, if you missed this event, you had a great day.
00:01:54.000I sat and watched this where it's a very bizarre kind of entrance.
00:02:00.000You have Senator Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden coming in.
00:02:04.000They're wearing masks, which, of course, I'm guessing they both were tested before this ceremony.
00:02:09.000So them wearing masks is just nothing more than symbolic.
00:02:13.000They walk in together and Joe Biden goes to the podium.
00:02:18.000And he seemed somewhat sentient, actually, during his speech.
00:02:21.000And I've been told by people that deal in neurology, there are good days and there are bad days, and there are not so good days and really bad days.
00:02:29.000So I watched it so you didn't have to.
00:02:32.000And so look, there actually was a lot telling from this speech.
00:02:37.000We're going to get into that and so much more throughout this episode.
00:02:40.000But first of all, as I mentioned, anyone who has dealt with a loved one or an elderly friend who has been suffering from dementia or cognitive decline, they'll tell you that sometimes people like Joe Biden will have great days and sometimes not so great days.
00:02:54.000Well, it seemed like today was actually one of the good days.
00:02:57.000And he had plenty of time to practice in his basement, mind you, exactly how he was going to introduce Senator Harris exactly to have his little pocket square all figured out.
00:03:04.000I mean, this is the only thing he has to do all day long.
00:03:07.000Just at the recording of this podcast, I have flown thousands of miles across the country, done a fundraiser, had a couple meetings, did two podcasts, rated an interview, possibly a TV interview later, have to fly back again, get up at 6 a.m. the next morning and do it all over again.
00:03:20.000But look, for the most part, his speech seemed fairly orderly and coherent.
00:03:24.000Now, look, I do want to say, I hope that the potential opposition doesn't actually have mental issues.
00:03:30.000Now, the fact that it's noteworthy shouldn't be cause for celebration.
00:03:35.000It should be cause for concern that mental health and the health of his cognitive capacity is actually an issue of this race should be concerning to everybody.
00:03:44.000So just because his actual speech was coherent, though, doesn't mean his ideas were any less awful, anti-American, or untrue as they normally are.
00:03:54.000So first, he got through the niceties of how Senator Harris is a byproduct of the American dream.
00:04:00.000How she worked up her way as a, quote, brown girl in America.
00:04:05.000I think that's so derogatory just to call someone a brown girl.
00:04:09.000I mean, we're supposed to not be a racist country, right?
00:04:13.000And former Vice President Biden calls her a brown girl in America.
00:04:17.000How about qualified girl or smart girl?0.93
00:04:19.000I mean, if I was Senator Harris, I'd be so tired of being called by just your skin color, but she knows that it's her skin color that actually she has used as one of her main competitive advantage points.
00:04:33.000But once former vice president was done with all of that, he went into this very hard-to-follow diatribe, even raising his voice, exerting likely a month's worth of energy in that one shout about how President Trump's executive order deposed payroll taxes is like cutting Social Security.
00:04:53.000He's issuing executive orders and making promises that in the end will defund the social security system while insisting that this virus will disappear.
00:05:08.000This is not a cut at all to Social Security.
00:05:10.000It's relief to Americans who need it the most, many of whom will never even see Social Security.
00:05:17.000And it's also interesting to accuse President Trump of, quote, cutting Social Security, considering Joe Biden actually stood on the floor of the Senate in the 1980s saying exactly that, play tape.
00:05:28.000When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well.
00:05:36.000I meant every single solitary thing in the government.
00:05:41.000And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.
00:05:46.000I'm one of those Democrats who voted for the constitutional amendment to balance the budget.
00:05:50.000I've introduced on four occasions, four occasions, entire plans to balance the budget, knowing I'm not president and I'm not the leader.
00:06:00.000But for illustrative purposes, I tried with Senator Grassley back in the 80s to freeze all government spending, including Social Security, including everything.
00:06:11.000And even as recently as 2011, Joe Biden was on record saying a payroll tax cut will create jobs and, quote, have no financial impact on Social Security.
00:06:23.000A new poll points to the direction that Americans want to see this campaign against Joe and Kamala go.
00:06:29.000A YouGov poll asked, do you approve or disapprove of the executive order President Trump signed on Saturday, which says he'll extend unemployment benefits and defer payroll taxes?
00:07:06.000I talked to a very high-ranking judge about this, and he thinks it's not going to stand up.
00:07:11.000However, he thinks that it will not be shot down at the first hearing and that it will probably go to some appeals court and eventually these executive orders will be reversed.
00:07:20.000So I think the president is on the right side of that issue politically.
00:07:28.000I don't like presidents ruling by executive order.
00:07:31.000But if you read the actual language of the executive order, you could see that the White House counsel was very careful of where they were going to arrange the money and reallocate the money.
00:07:40.000However, my position is trying to narrow down the amount of executive authority there is for one potential socialist president who might one day abuse it.
00:07:51.000Now, before we get more into Senator Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and the executive order, I just want to compliment the president on his terrific press conference.
00:08:01.000This came right after the Harris-Biden, which just sounds so bad, Biden-Harris.
00:08:08.000I can't quite put my finger on what it sounds like, but I'm going to mention it in a podcast as soon as I kind of hit it.
00:08:15.000It kind of sounds like a defunct 1970s one-hit wonder band, Biden-Harris or something, that there was that one song you might remember once on the radio and it just disappeared.
00:08:25.000Maybe that, or maybe it just sounds like a really bad appetizer that you would order at some sort of French restaurant.
00:08:32.000However, Biden-Harris is just so, it just doesn't really come off the tongue.
00:08:42.000President Trump's press conference was one of his best.
00:08:46.000He argued for school choice for all Americans, while Joe Biden and Senator Harris attacked President Trump baselessly on the topic of education, play tape.
00:08:57.000I would like the money to follow the student, and this way you can make your own choice.
00:09:02.000The president also advocated for the reopening of schools and the return of college football.
00:11:02.000Senator Harris, I always feel like I'm being scolded by the librarian whenever she's talking, as if she's giving some long, drawn-out speech as to, let me kind of tell you how things are supposed to be, you know?
00:11:14.000Because if you don't listen to me, then, and that book has a late fine, I'm going to go talk to your parents and I'm going to lock you up in prison for the rest of your life.
00:11:22.000And so Senator Harris had many opportunities in this speech to try to introduce herself as a more mainstream and moderate selection for former Vice President Joe Biden.0.99
00:11:36.000You see, Kamala Harris decided to go after President Trump immediately and instantaneously on the issue of economic recovery.0.99
00:11:44.000This is a losing message for former Vice President Biden's campaign.
00:11:49.000It segues beautifully to a Breitbart.com piece that says this.
00:11:55.000The nonpartisan website, govtrack.us website, rated Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat from California, the most left-wing member of the United States Senate in 2019, further left than Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders.
00:12:10.000Pregnant pause for intentional effect.
00:12:14.000The nonpartisan govtrack.us website rated Senator Kamala Harris, the most left-wing member of the U.S. Senate in 2019, further left than Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders.
00:12:29.000So the Trump campaign should run this on billboards, radio, and TV every single day.
00:12:33.000Senator Harris is the most liberal individual in the United States Senate.
00:12:37.000Now, this has a two-pronged political strategy impact.
00:12:40.000Number one, it's going to make Senator Harris either agree or disagree with this statement.
00:12:46.000If she agrees with the statement, well, then all of a sudden she totally agrees that she's the most liberal person.
00:12:51.000Now, if she disagrees, there will be even more base decay amongst the progressive left-wing base.
00:12:59.000So Senator Harris had this opportunity to be able to introduce herself to the American people.
00:13:04.000She did so, I think, very robotically, almost like Hillary Clinton would.1.00
00:13:09.000In her all-blue navy pantsuit, she decided to almost incite racial disunity.
00:13:18.000She talked about BLM Incorporated, and she said she got her start in politics in a stroller in the civil rights era.
00:13:26.000So Senator Harris is now going to become the focus of this campaign.
00:13:30.000You see, former Vice President Biden has just handed those of us that want a decent, stable, and prosperous America, handed us a beautiful gift.
00:13:41.000This entire race is now going to center around the senator from California.
00:13:46.000She is going to have to justify and explain to the voters of Wisconsin why they should vote for the most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate.0.92
00:13:56.000She's going to have to justify and explain all of the radical Marxist ideas that she embodies.
00:14:04.000Here's a quick question for you: Who in the United States Senate championed and co-sponsored Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal?1.00
00:14:26.000All of the kind of fake, moderate position that Joe Biden was able to very carefully tailor over the last couple weeks.1.00
00:14:35.000Senator Kamala Harris blows all that up.
00:14:37.000Now, Joe Biden was leading in a lot of these polls throughout the summer because, believe it or not, the states that determine the presidency are center-right states.
00:14:47.000The states that determine the presidency are states that lean right.
00:14:51.000They are states that are gun-loving, church-attending, morally centered states.
00:15:01.000Joe Biden was at his best when he was able to position himself and paint himself as the more moderate centrist candidate.
00:15:10.000Now we're going to start to see some warning signs for the Biden campaign.
00:15:14.000Instead of trying to move more to the middle, like most campaigns would, he chose someone that is going to alienate the moderate population of these states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa.
00:15:27.000And also, it really doesn't get much base benefit.
00:15:53.000Now, just right now, a new CNBC change research poll in Wisconsin has Donald Trump doing better in this poll than he did right before he won the state of Wisconsin in 2016.
00:16:07.000Had Joe Biden up four points, but a similar poll back in 2016 had Hillary Clinton up six points.
00:16:14.000So this race in a lot of different ways is now going to be a referendum on the ideologies that both tickets represent.
00:16:21.000So if I were to try to give Joe Biden the benefit of the doubt, if I was trying to put on a hat and try to think what they were thinking, which is kind of something I'm less than, let's say, qualified to do at times, but I think very carefully and analytically and spend hours of research over this.
00:16:42.000I think that Joe Biden realized that he had a very serious problem amongst the Democrat base.
00:16:51.000I think Joe Biden recognized that amongst the Democrat base, he was unable to generate any sort of enthusiasm, especially amongst minority voters and women voters.
00:17:03.000So Joe Biden decided to nominate someone who thought that the rape accusations and sexual assault accusations against them, against him, was credible, which Senator Harris once said.
00:17:15.000She said she believed Tara Reed because she once said we should believe all women.
00:17:19.000Additionally, Joe Biden decided to have someone who went after him for bussing children for the segregationist conversation that happened last summer.
00:17:30.000Let's play a tape so that you can remember this from last summer.
00:17:36.000It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
00:17:51.000And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.
00:17:58.000And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.
00:18:06.000And she was bussed to school every day.
00:18:12.000So Joe Biden, who is very carefully navigating the center lane of the American political discourse, despite the entire base of the Democrat Party being infiltrated by radical anti-American Marxists of Alexandria Casio-Cortez and Elon Omar and so many others.
00:18:31.000Despite all of that, we are now seeing this entire race become infiltrated by the most left-wing voices imaginable, literally the most left-wing senator in the United States Senate.
00:18:45.000So Senator Harris also said that Trump inherited a roaring economy.
00:19:47.000But compare that to the moment we find ourselves in now.
00:19:51.000Now, out of everything that Senator Harris said, and I try to keep my decibel level very much in control, this is the one that I got the most upset about.
00:21:21.000Now, mind you, Senator Harris did not mention H1N1 at all.
00:21:26.000Senator Harris did not mention the swine flu.
00:21:29.000So at the beginning of the episode, I mentioned that we learned a lot from this press conference.
00:21:34.000Do you know what the number one thing that I learned from this entire press conference of Senator Harris and Joe Biden?
00:21:40.000They are going to make the virus a top-tier issue of their campaign.
00:21:45.000Most of their commentary, most of their one-liners, and most of their focus was all on the president's response to the pandemic.
00:21:54.000If the president is able to demonstrate by September 1st, post-convention, success of breaking America out of the state of fear on the virus, the president will win this election.
00:22:06.000They had a little bit on economic anxiety, but that message falls flat.
00:22:10.000A little bit on Trump cutting Social Security, we already debunked that.
00:22:14.000They taught a little bit on racial disunity and discord, of which we talked about, but they think they are going to win the White House on the issue of the virus.
00:22:23.000They think they can create an entire public referendum campaign on the virus.
00:22:27.000Now, Joe Biden interestingly said that politics has always been a family affair for him.
00:22:58.000And so it's interesting how Joe Biden doesn't mention his other son, Hunter Biden, that he doesn't mention Hunter Biden and the money that he laundered from the Chinese Communist Party state-sanctioned banks.
00:23:11.000Let's talk about James Biden, Joe Biden's younger brother, who has made millions of dollars through federal government contracts rebuilding Iraq.
00:23:20.000Hunter Biden, we talked about, serving in foreign boards in Ukraine, involved in connected business dealings with oligarchs in Kazakhstan, involved in all sorts of different international business deals.
00:23:34.000In late 2009, former Vice President Biden landed in Costa Rica aboard Air Force 2 and went to the Costa Rican Presidential Palace for a one-on-one with President Oscar Arias.
00:23:45.000The Biden visit had symbolic significance.
00:23:47.000I'm reading from the New YorkPost.com, nypost.com.
00:23:50.000The last time a high-ranking American official had visited the company was back in 1997 when Bill Clinton had come.
00:23:57.000His brother, Frank Biden, he had a dream to build casinos, a world-class golf course, and an anti-aging center in Costa Rica.
00:24:07.000And it happened that Joe Biden had been asked by President Obama to ask at the administration's point, man, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
00:24:16.000Well, interestingly enough, the Costa Rican Ministry of Public Education signed a letter of intent with Frank's company for how much?
00:24:22.000$6.5 million called the Caribbean Energy Security Initiative.
00:24:28.000Yes, politics is a family affair for the Bidens.
00:24:32.000No matter what it is, for Joe Biden and his family, they use their political connections and their proximity to get rich at the expense of the American people.
00:24:41.000And this is par for the course for the entire Democrat Party to try to enrich themselves at every turn, their family members, and their public policy decisions so that they are able to get rich while the rest of the American middle class is struggling to get by.
00:24:55.000The biggest takeaway is how lackluster their messaging and their strategy is heading into the election.
00:25:03.000Their argument is basically this: we are not Donald Trump.
00:25:09.000That is their reelection campaign strategy.
00:25:13.000If President Trump can get people excited, if President Trump can continue to make a compelling argument to the American people as to the think big, dream big platform, that we are a tough nation, the Harris-Biden duo can be defeated and will be defeated at the ballot box.
00:25:32.000Their inauthenticity, their lack of mental stability, and their corruption are winning issues for the president to continue to zero in on.
00:25:41.000We are going to have an entire update on college football, but very quickly, I want to play a tape from Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who said his team intends to play their home games in front of their fans.
00:25:52.000The NFL can be an exciting, when I say exciting, it can be an inspirational part of how we address COVID, not only the remainder of this year, but as we go into 21.
00:26:07.000So it's a big enough deal for me to look at costs in every way.
00:26:14.000And obviously, costs usually are associated with financial.
00:26:17.000But it's easy for me to justify for the long term of interest in football and the long-term thing that competitive sports bring to the table and what it can bring to the country.
00:26:31.000It's worth it to make the effort for us to have a complete season, and I want to do it in front of our fans.
00:26:37.000This is the right move, especially considering the Cowboys being America's team.
00:26:42.000And now, a follow-up from yesterday's episode: the SEC and the ACC also announced since yesterday's episode that they, unlike the cowardly anti-science Big Ten and Pac-12, would be playing college football this season.
00:26:54.000And Lou Holtz, the great Lou Holtz, said it best on Fox News with Bill Hemmer yesterday.
00:26:59.000And I just loved this segment, play tape.
00:28:02.000I think they should play, but then again, that's my thing.
00:28:05.000I think that you ought to say to the players, you want to play if you have a problem, if you have an asthma problem, if you're diabetic or something, and you have a legitimate reason you don't want to play.
00:28:41.000Senator Harris thinks that she is going to have ultimate power very soon.
00:28:44.000If we rise up as conservatives and do something about it, we can keep this republic free, fair, and stable and out of the hands of bitter anti-American Marxists that want to see America burn down to the ground.
