00:00:28.000I want to thank those of you that support us at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:33.000Similar to how NPR or PBS are getting your support or your tax dollars to keep them going, to keep this program going.
00:00:40.000When you go to charliekirk.com/slash support, you keep our program going, going strong and growing so that we can hire more staff, so we can get two podcasts a day for you.
00:00:50.000So please go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:53.000We do a monthly private call for our top supporters at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:58.000If you're a monthly supporter, you're a top supporter.
00:01:33.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:49.000So we had a whole other episode recorded, packaged, ready to air for you guys.
00:01:54.000And then former Vice President Joe Biden was notified that he selected someone to become his vice president.
00:02:02.000He was so surprised and he said, we might as well announce it today because his handlers and his puppeteers, if you will, said, former vice president, it's time.
00:02:25.000He showed a picture of himself on a Zoom call with an iPhone upside down and a script right in front of him while he was talking to Senator Harris over Zoom or WebEx.
00:02:34.000Joe Biden tweeted the following: I have the great honor to announce that I've picked at Kamala Harris, a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants as my running mate.
00:02:44.000Back when Kamalak was attorney general, she closely worked with Bo.
00:02:49.000I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse.
00:02:54.000I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.
00:02:58.000All right, so let's just get right into it.
00:03:00.000First of all, before we dive into the most comprehensive takedown of Senator Harris, that will hopefully, God willing, never become Vice President of the United States and never become President of the United States.
00:03:10.000Let's just draw the line very clearly.
00:03:14.000This is actually a great thing for President Trump.
00:03:18.000This is a phenomenal thing for President Trump.
00:03:22.000This is a win for those of us that want to see Wisconsin and Pennsylvania go red.
00:03:28.000We're going to go into why that is the case.
00:03:30.000And I don't really know who this wins over, to be perfectly honest with you.
00:03:33.000I don't know who is now extra motivated to go vote for Joe Biden because of the California Marxist that is now on the ticket, especially in the key battleground states.
00:03:44.000I'm going to get into the positives and also some of maybe the potential negatives for Donald Trump, but there's not many.
00:03:51.000So let's get into Senator Harris's bio.0.84
00:03:53.000She was district attorney of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011.
00:03:58.000From 2011 to 2016, she then became Attorney General of California.
00:04:03.000From 2016 to present, she was the senator from California.
00:04:08.000So she's known for a couple of things.
00:04:10.000She hasn't been senator for very long, mind you.
00:04:12.000She's actually very recently become United States Senator.
00:04:16.000One of those was for literally throwing Joe Biden under the bus during the primary debates.
00:06:17.000And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.
00:06:24.000But I also believe, and it's personal, and I was actually very, it 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.
00:06:43.000And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.
00:06:49.000To being his vice presidential nominee.
00:06:52.000She's gone from believing his accusers to joining his ticket.
00:07:05.000She owns a gun, but she doesn't want you to.1.00
00:07:08.000She doesn't want you to be able to own a firearm.
00:07:10.000Even though America is on fire and is burning with arson around us, it has been ravaged by domestic terrorists hell-bent on tearing down our country, even expanding their protests into the suburbs.
00:07:23.000She also infamously called Jussie Smollett hoax a modern-day lynching and even went so far as to introduce a bill in the United States Senate to outlaw lynchings.
00:07:34.000Now, of course, Smollett was completely exposed as a fraud, similar to how Kamala is.
00:07:40.000Yet the senator has never apologized for her role in propping up an attempted race war in America.
00:07:47.000Does she still think Jussie Smollett is a hero?
00:07:59.000In a lot of different ways, she's just a younger, more diverse Hillary Clinton.0.89
00:08:04.000There is perhaps no better example of the gap between public presentation and the truth than how she mischaracterized what she did from 2004 to 2015 when she was San Francisco's district attorney and California's attorney general.
00:08:19.000So you see, she branded herself as a quote, progressive prosecutor.
00:08:41.000And so, because of that, the fact she used to put arsonists and criminals in prison does not bode well for her support amongst the pro-crime Democrat base.
00:08:50.000Progressives consider her tough on crime approach from the mid and late 90s as something of racist and failed and pandering to conservatives, even though it kept streets safe and black families intact.
00:09:04.000In fact, when Senator Harris was California's attorney general, she kept inmates in prison instead of giving them parole to have them work at $1 an hour rate for the state, which was practically slave labor, by the way.0.99
00:09:17.000Instead of setting people free, she kept them in prison so she could exploit cheap labor.
00:09:22.000Now, mind you, I'm actually pro-tough on crime.
00:09:25.000I think that our country has actually been able to have a civil society because we've been tough on crime.
00:09:30.000I'm not in favor of over-prosecutions.
00:09:33.000I just want someone to be consistent.0.98
00:09:35.000I think Senator Harris does what is ever politically expedient to get herself to the highest political position because she is a political ladder climber.
00:09:44.000Now, even though she built up her career locking up countless black people for low-level marijuana crimes, she went on the breakfast club to joke about smoking weed herself, even though the chronological order of which she approached this with didn't quite add up.
00:10:42.000She's Hillary Clinton, but a little bit younger and more diverse.0.70
00:10:47.000Joe Biden supported the 1994 crime bill.
00:10:50.000Senator Harris enforced it as California's attorney general.
00:10:54.000The party has rapidly endorsed the defund police movement.
00:10:58.000And now they want to nominate a cop to become vice president.
00:11:01.000Now, Senator Harris says she's in support of this movement.
00:11:04.000What do you get for Senator Harris?0.85
00:11:06.000A liar, someone on every side of every issue.
00:11:09.000So for those in my audience who might not know what the 1994 crime bill was, Vox, which is a little bit left of Stalin's favorite newspaper, Pravda, described it as, quote, the controversial 1994 crime law that Joe Biden held right.
00:11:24.000It was one of the key contributors to mass incarceration of the 1990s.
00:11:28.000They said it led to more prison sentences, more prison cells, and more aggressive policing, especially hurting black and brown Americans who are disproportionately likely to be incarcerated.
00:11:37.000The truth is that Senator Kamala Harris was one of the chief enforcers of that crime bill as a former prosecutor.
00:11:44.000One far left report put it this way, that Harris's brand of progressive prosecution was really just being complicit in securing America's position as the world's leading jailer.0.96
00:11:56.000As attorney general, she weaponized technicalities to keeping people wrongfully convicted behind bars.
00:12:02.000Now, I don't know if I believe a lot of this, but this is the perception what a lot of people in the black progressive base have.
00:12:08.000She championed a law that went after the parents of chronically truant children, laughed when asked if marijuana should be legal and supported a system that locks up people who are too poor to post exorbitant money bail.
00:12:20.000The truth is that Harris embraced progressive criminal justice policies only when it became safe to do so, after they had become popular.
00:12:29.000And if she had ran on being tough on crime, she could appeal to some independents, maybe some moderate Republicans, but she's not.
00:12:39.000Now, mind you, George Soros' son, George Soros, the bitter anti-American financier who's dedicated $20 billion of his own money to try to destroy Western society, his son, Alexander Soros, a Marxist who lives in Berkeley, California, immediately posted a picture with Kamala Harris saying, congratulations to our future vice president, Kamala Harris.
00:13:01.000Remember, this is the same George Soros that is funding the we won't prosecute the criminals and rioters policies we are watching ruin America's big cities.
00:13:09.000So if you're a little confused, you should be.
00:13:11.000There is no consistency to Senator Kamala Harris.1.00
00:13:14.000It's whatever side the political wins are on is what she is behind.1.00
00:13:18.000However, a good thing for the Trump campaign and a good thing for our entire movement is the fact that Senator Harris will not be able to drive up black support.0.98
00:13:28.000President Donald Trump should run ads every single day showing black America that Senator Kamala Harris is the cop that you say that you hate.
00:13:37.000Also, let's talk about her affair with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown.
00:13:42.000He admitted to having an extramarital relationship with Senator Kamala Harris.
00:13:48.000You see, Brown appointed Harris just a few years out of law school to two well-paid state commission assignments to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.
00:14:00.000He said this, yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was assembly speaker.
00:14:06.000And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco.
00:14:10.000Brown connected Harris with campaign donors, which helped her outraise her opponent for San Francisco's district attorney, according to Business Insider.
00:14:18.000This guy was known for attending parties with his wife on one arm and a girlfriend on the other, according to a reporter quoted by the magazine.
00:14:25.000Seems like a good, upright, moral individual.
00:14:27.000Senator Harris found someone convenient that she could, let's say, commingle with, benefit her career.
00:14:40.000Now, her race is going to be a big talking point moving forward.0.98
00:14:43.000This race is not a traditional political race.1.00
00:14:46.000It's not a traditional vice presidential race.
00:14:48.000It is now almost like Senator Kamala Harris is running for co-president of the United States.
00:14:53.000This is a good thing for Donald Trump.
00:14:56.000Harris is the daughter of Jamaican-born father and Indian-born mother.
00:15:00.000Her dad, Donald Harris, is an economics professor.
00:15:03.000Her mother was a, quote, breast cancer researcher from India who died of 2000 and 2009 of colon cancer.
00:15:09.000She's a daughter of immigrants, but her heritage has caused a little bit of debate among Democrats.
00:15:14.000Look, I don't really care about her race, but it's important to understand these dynamics because they shape up the way the left thinks and why Biden chose her.
00:15:23.000Listen to African-American April Ryan debate her heritage with CNN Don Lemon play tape.1.00
00:17:23.000Here we have Donald Trump, who has 65 million Twitter followers and is using that platform as the president of the United States to openly intimidate witnesses, to threaten witnesses, to obstruct justice.
00:17:38.000And he and his account should be taken down.
00:17:41.000And President Trump said in his press conference, when asked about Kamala Harris, the following, that she would be my number one draft pick, play tape.
00:19:14.000She cackles and that just bothers me and I think that's going to turn people off.0.98
00:19:18.000This could not be a better selection for President Trump.
00:19:21.000The one thing that she has been very consistent on, the one thing that she has been remarkably disciplined on, is how she doesn't believe people should own firearms.
00:19:30.000We talked in a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, and I encourage all of you to type in Charlie Kirk Show and hit subscribe.
00:19:36.000And by the way, our turnaround time on the Senator Harris opposition research and the fact that we've been able to bring it to you so quickly is thanks to you guys that support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:19:46.000When you go to charliekirk.com slash support, we're able to give you the news quickly, honestly, and better than anyone else at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:19:54.000And when you give us the information, we're able to give you the facts on the propaganda, on the falsehoods that have permeated all across the American left.
00:20:03.000This is a good thing for President Trump.
00:20:05.000President Trump can now make this race much more about Kamala Harris because now that Joe Biden's mental state is in quick deterioration, now that Joe Biden is struggling even to be able to put together a couple words, he confuses his wife with his sister, what day the primary's at, what president he served with.
00:20:20.000He calls President Obama Senator Obama.
00:20:23.000He says to reporters that are black, that ask him tough questions, he calls them junkies.
00:20:28.000He says to certain people that are black, if they do not vote for him, they are somehow less black.
00:20:34.000This is Joe Biden's quickly and ever declining mental state.
00:20:38.000And also another note on Senator Kamala Harris's kind of race issue and heritage issue.
00:20:44.000Her father issued, who, by the way, is a professor of economics emeritus at Stanford University.
00:20:49.000He wrote an essay on his family's history, and it was about Kamala Harris.
00:20:52.000He said, because Kamala Harris said on the breakfast club something about smoking weed and being Jamaican, he said this, my dear departed grandmothers, whose extraordinary legacy I described in the recent essay on this website, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their graves right now to see their family's name, reputation, and proud Jamaican identity being connected in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in pursuit of identity politics.
00:21:16.000Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically disassociate ourselves from this travesty.
00:21:33.000I can't wait to see you sullen back to the U.S. Senate so you can continue to destroy innocent men's lives as Brett Kavanaugh.
00:21:40.000You are in for a repudiation the likes of which you are not ready for.
00:21:45.000I'm excited, hopeful, and thankful that we can now run up against a California gun-grabbing anti-American, anti-Christian Marxist, someone who's been on every single side of every issue and the incorrect side of every issue.
00:21:56.000You, Senator Harris, are a gift to this race.
00:23:19.000Trevor Lawrence, who's now going into his junior year at Clemson University, one of the best college quarterbacks I have ever seen, play this sport.
00:23:39.000I've been so disappointed with how some of the players for the University of Oregon and Pac-12 have decided they just want to sit this season off, basically.
00:23:46.000And we'll get into that in just one second.
00:23:48.000But Trevor Lawrence had a great quote about getting people back to football.
00:23:52.000He said, We are more likely to get the virus in everyday life than playing football.
00:23:56.000Having a season also incentivizes players being safe and taking all of the right precautions to try to avoid contracting COVID because the season/slash teammate safety is on the line.
00:24:06.000Without the season, as we've seen already, people will not social distance or wear masks and take the proper precautions.
00:24:12.000So, I want to dive into part of this because I think it points out a larger, broader, very important point, which is this: quote: Having a season also incentivizes players to be safe and taking all the right precautions.
00:24:26.000Trevor Lawrence here makes a great point that I even kind of missed.
00:24:30.000If you have a season, then there is an incentive for all the players to not get the Chinese coronavirus.
00:24:38.000Now, you might be thinking, well, Charlie, what would the incentive be to get the Chinese coronavirus?
00:24:42.000No, they're going to go above and beyond and make sure they get the right precautions, make sure they socially distance so that they can keep playing, doing what they love.
00:24:50.000If you take someone's season away from them, they don't care.
00:24:53.000They're going to probably be incredibly depressed, which we should not do anything that has more widespread depression amongst young people, not just the players, by the way, but also the fans.
00:25:02.000You know, it's very easy for non-athletic fans or people that don't follow sports on the sidelines to be medical experts to lob in their opinion to try to make it seem as if they know what is best for other people.
00:25:16.000I, for one, find a great release, a great escape in watching college football.
00:25:22.000If there is no incentive to be safe, whether it be to go to church or to get back to work or play football, then no one will actually work to be a better, healthier person.
00:25:48.000Why would they not have team meetings?
00:25:50.000Just canceling the season is so cowardly, so incorrect, and quite honestly, not surprising out of a leaderless organization like the NCAA.
00:26:01.000So, by trying to cancel college football, I think they've stumbled onto a hill a majority of Americans are metaphorically willing to die on.
00:26:09.000It's a line in the sand where people will finally say, enough is enough.
00:26:13.000College football might actually be the gateway to reopening our country.
00:26:16.000Now, there are some very disturbing leading trends towards the cancellation of college football.
00:26:22.000We have seen quite a few news articles and clippings of conferences that are already signaling that they might cancel their season.
00:26:30.000In fact, a couple conferences already have.
00:26:33.000The Ivy League and University of Connecticut already canceled because they're very weak people that don't care about their students, don't care about their athletes, don't care about the fans.
00:26:42.000After we recorded the football segment, we just found out the ACC and the SEC are going to play football.
00:26:48.000Needless to say, college football is a mess.
00:26:51.000I wouldn't be surprised if you start to see some Big Ten teams disconnect and affiliate so they could play independently, such as Nebraska.
00:26:58.000We're going to keep a close eye on this.
00:28:12.000You look at brain injury, you look at broken bones, you look at sometimes people get paralyzed.
00:28:19.000At least one or two people every single year in college football gets paralyzed, and it's an incredibly horrific thing to watch.
00:28:27.000Career-ending injuries, traumatic hemorrhages of the brain and concussions that people cannot recover from.
00:28:38.000The Chinese coronavirus statistically shows us, especially for young people, and even more so, young athletic people that are in great shape, they are not at risk all, not at sizable risk of dying from the Chinese coronavirus.
00:28:53.000Yes, some young people have died from the virus.
00:28:57.000However, the young people that have died almost all have comorbidities, they're almost all overweight, or they have underlying health conditions.
00:29:05.000A young person playing for the University of Connecticut, if they were able to play, would actually be in more health risk damage of a concussion or something that could hurt them long term.
00:29:17.000But now, the University of Connecticut, which is in Storrs, Connecticut, I've spoken there before, Storrs, Connecticut is one of the most miserable cities on the entire planet.
00:29:26.000Great conservative audience that showed up when we went out and spoke at Turning Point USA at University of Connecticut, but one of the most liberal, one of the most socialist, one of the darkest campuses I have ever visited.
00:29:37.000The University of Connecticut has decided that football is not essential.
00:29:41.000So, what do you think the football players are going to do now that you've canceled their season?
00:29:45.000What do you think the football players are going to do now that you've decided that their season doesn't matter?
00:29:49.000Do you think all of a sudden they're going to socially isolate for the next year, go live in a bubble?
00:29:54.000In fact, more players will probably get the virus because you've canceled their season than if you had a season.
00:30:01.000More players will probably go party recklessly, get drunk endlessly on Friday and Saturday nights because there's no reason not to because there's no college football.
00:30:12.000You will see more players commit suicide, get into drug use, and get into directionless lifestyle.
00:30:19.000All because the ruling class administration presidents and chancellors, they think they know best.
00:30:25.000And this is something that the academic left has done for years.
00:30:28.000They put forth decrees that they themselves never have to live under.
00:30:32.000Now, I'm sure some of these presidents and chancellors are conflicted as to whether or not they should have a college football season.
00:30:40.000I'm sure that some of them want the season, but they're so surrounded by the activists on campus that they almost believe that football should not be exempt from the suffering of everyone else around them.
00:30:51.000What a silly and ridiculously backwards perspective.
00:30:56.000Now, people are coming out of the woodwork and they're saying enough.
00:31:01.000I am so incredibly upset over all of this.
00:31:04.000I am losing my patience with how the activist medical deep state in a lot of different parts of our country are using political, anti-science narratives to destroy people's lives.
00:31:19.000And yeah, they say, oh, who cares about sports?
00:31:21.000Sports is a real thing for tens of millions of people, including myself.
00:31:26.000President Trump also tweeted, quote, play college football.
00:31:29.000And his pinned tweet is a series of videos of him and Melania attending major NCAA games and welcoming the athletes to the White House.
00:32:36.000It's not Cleveland Indians, not the Cleveland Browns, not the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cincinnati Reds.
00:32:42.000Those are all well-followed teams, but nothing even comes close to Ohio State football.
00:32:48.000So in these key battleground states, if President Trump keeps the pressure on and President Trump continues to actually make this a winning wedge issue, he will win votes in the states that matter most.
00:33:01.000I would love to hear what Joe Biden thinks about having players go back to play.
00:33:05.000This is a winning issue for the president.
00:33:09.000Now, my second most retweeted tweet of all time is, in fact, of the crowd in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, blowing the metaphorical roof off of Bryant Denny Stadium when President Trump was announced.
00:34:41.000Now, in times of strife in our country, we decide our future by how much value we can create for ourselves.
00:34:49.000Trying to put a measurement on the amount of value, the amount of purpose Americans can have, is detrimental to everything this country stands for.
00:34:57.000Imagine if during the World War II effort, we didn't enlist the women of America to support our soldiers.
00:35:04.000Most historians say definitively that we would not have emerged victorious.
00:35:09.000We have seen suicides rising because of all these lockdowns and limitations, becoming, according to the CDC director, CDC Director Redfield, more deadly than the virus in parts of America.
00:35:21.000So, no, this is not just about a game.
00:36:33.000Hundreds of people right now that are breathing will most likely commit suicide if you remove something that has such incredible meaning to people as college football.
00:36:44.000Where in the big house in Michigan, they have 127,000 people gather on a football Saturday in Michigan.
00:36:51.000You're going to take college football away from Ohio State University when Ohio State might have one of the best college football teams ever assembled this year.
00:36:59.000You're going to take college football away from me, where the Ducks of Oregon very well might win the Pac-12 again and be able to go hopefully to the Final Four and maybe compete for a national championship.
00:37:10.000You already canceled the Ducks versus Bucs game, Oregon Ducks versus the Ohio State Buckeys, of which I've been waiting for for seven to eight years since they announced it.
00:37:24.000What I am trying to make it about is the depression, the alcoholism, the hopelessness, the lack of direction, and the lives you will ruin because you think you're saving lives.
00:37:34.000The central planning rule by fiat autocrats must be stopped.
00:37:39.000College football is now where the culture war is happening right now.
00:37:44.000Trevor Lawrence on the right side, Nick Sabin on the right side, President Trump on the right side, Jim Jordan on the right side, and these chancellors and these presidents that are raising a lot of your tuition, if you're listening to this, you're a college student, they're raising your tuition.
00:37:59.000They're not even giving you a discount when a lot of you go online for just a Zoom call.
00:38:13.000I get pretty poor answers, to be honest with you.
00:38:16.000People say, oh, I'm going because my parents are making me.
00:38:20.000Well, borrowing a boatload of money that you do not have to study things that don't matter to find jobs that don't exist is not a great answer to go 50, 60, 70, 80,000 into debt.
00:38:49.000Fraternities and sororities all across the big town are not needing this semester and next semester.
00:38:55.000You see, college for years, one of the ways they sold themselves is, yeah, come get $85,000 in debt.
00:39:02.000You're going to learn to hate America.
00:39:04.000You'll probably be convinced that there is no God.
00:39:06.000We're going to create you into a very miserable and unhappy person.
00:39:10.000We're going to give you a piece of paper that probably will not let you get a job.
00:39:13.000So you'll have to go move in with your parents afterwards.
00:39:16.000You're going to become someone that has less direction and instead be tougher and stronger to encounter a world that is troublesome around you.
00:39:24.000We are going to try to activate you to try to remove things that are troublesome and try to make a safer environment instead of stronger people.
00:39:31.000But in exchange, at least you'll be able to go to a football game.
00:39:35.000And that's basically been the bargain for the last couple of decades.
00:39:40.000Get the kids really excited, fill up in the stadiums.
00:39:42.000They meet a bunch of people that they think they're going to do business with the rest of their life, and that's the case at certain schools, and send them out into the world.
00:39:50.000For these universities, college football is not going to happen in a lot of schools.
00:39:55.000I think the SEC might just self-affiliate and have their own season, quite honestly.
00:40:02.000I love college football, and I think the SEC is going to play no matter what.
00:40:06.000I think the SEC might just deaffiliate from the NCAA and do their own games and have their own championship and their own way of crowning a national champion.
00:40:14.000Now, the NCAA might sanction them, but the SEC is too powerful, and they actually need the ad revenue.
00:40:19.000And so that's what's the real other interesting, ironic thing about all this: is that these universities, man, do they hate their students?
00:40:27.000They have such contempt for the people that pass through their colleges.
00:40:40.000They're so few and far between, I'll tell you what.
00:40:43.000These schools are able to subsidize a lot of the diversity programming, a lot of the lazy rivers, a lot of their expansion through the ad dollars that are given to the university when they have football games on TV.
00:41:12.000Ohio State University has tens of thousands of students, between 50 to 60,000 students on campus and online.
00:41:21.000They will fill up Ohio Stadium with anywhere between 85 to 90,000 people.
00:41:30.000It's an incredible feat of engineering to even be able to put a stadium like that together.
00:41:37.000And the only way that they are able to justify that extraordinary cost is with the nine to 10 football games they have every single year.
00:41:49.000In fact, they're actually able to get up to 110,000 people.
00:41:53.000So now, when the ruling class, the academics who do not care about their students, don't care about their student athletes, don't care about their alumni, they don't care about their fans, they just care about fulfilling their own careers and their agenda so that they don't get mean things written about them by the activist media.
00:42:10.000When they cancel college football, all of a sudden they are basically saying the millions of dollars of revenue that were coming into the university are not important.
00:42:20.000Now, I'm all for divesting universities.
00:42:23.000I have an entire program at Turning Point USA called divestyou.com.
00:42:27.000However, do you know how they're going to make up for that loss of revenue?
00:42:31.000They're just going to raise tuition on you if you're a young person listening to this or a college student.
00:42:35.000These university presidents are not going to go tap their multi-billion dollar endowments.
00:42:40.000The advertising revenue that they would get off college football actually pays for all the other sports.1.00
00:42:46.000It pays for a lot of the women's sports.
00:42:47.000It pays for a lot of the less attended men's sports like golf and for all that.
00:42:52.000And so then, when you do not have that advertising revenue, when you do not have the massive stadium attendance, which is an extraordinary amount of money, when all college football gets canceled, the students are going to have to actually compensate for the revenue loss.
00:43:14.000So people that just say, oh, college football is just a rounding error.
00:43:18.000If you look at the largest stadiums for mass gatherings in America, 15.
00:43:24.000You can go to the top 15, every single one of them.
00:43:26.000From Michigan Stadium to Beaver Stadium to Ohio Stadium to Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, to Nyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tiger Stadium, Bryant Denny, Darrell Kay, Royal Texas Memorial in Austin, Texas, Sanford Stadium, Athens, Georgia, are all college football stadiums.
00:43:49.000We are on the precipice of robbing a core American institution around faulty science and activists that have overtaken academia that, quite honestly, have been trying to cancel football for quite some time.
00:44:00.000And this is a winning issue for the president.
00:44:03.000And the president needs to stay on it.
00:44:04.000But before we talk more about the president's polls, as you know, we do our book of the week review on Friday, and we can't wait to share this week's book with you.
00:44:11.000But check out the last three Fridays' books.
00:44:14.000The Prince by Machiavelli, Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Soule, and Carl Jung's Modern Man in Search of a Soul.
00:44:34.000A new app called Thinker has solved that problem by summarizing the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:44:46.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, including old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, to bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:44:56.000If you want to change your preconceptions, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, well then you must go to thinker.org slash Charlie, T-H-I-N-K-R.org slash Charlie.
00:45:07.000So speaking of polling, let's give you a quick update.
00:45:10.000I encourage you to listen to our sister episode where we interview the great Terrence Williams.
00:45:16.000Some new polling shows that things are actually tightening.
00:45:19.000Now, one poll, there was a national poll, but we don't even talk about national polls that had Trump down 10 points nationally.
00:45:25.000Completely irrelevant, not applicable at all.
00:45:32.000Now, Monmouth, which has Donald Trump down 10 points nationally, had the same in August of 2016.
00:45:38.000However, there's a Marquette University poll in Wisconsin that shows Biden up five points.
00:45:44.000Now, that might seem like bad news, but as we examine some of the new emerging polls on a statewide basis, which is more important, especially in Battleground states, we have a totally different picture.
00:45:55.000Now, remember, you could lose California by 80 points, by 90 points, lose the popular vote, and still win in a landslide with the Electoral College.
00:46:04.000Also, something to consider with these polls.
00:46:06.000Polls that conduct something called live caller with cell phones, they tend to skew Democrat.
00:46:13.000This is what we call the shy Trump voter.
00:46:15.000I add three to four to all these polls, always, especially in a presidential.
00:46:20.000Now, remember, conservatives are much more likely to hide their true political opinions from public view.
00:46:26.000The presumption is that this includes from a pollster if it's live on a phone call.
00:46:31.000And this bears out in the polling methodologies.
00:46:34.000So a new poll in Arizona has Martha McSally, the incumbent Republican senator who was appointed by Governor Doug Ducey.
00:46:40.000She is down five points where she was down nine points in a similar poll previously.
00:46:45.000So if you look at OH predictives trend lines since December, it follows what we basically know to be true, that Trump was ahead at the end of last year and pre-pandemic.
00:46:58.000But the race is tightening in the president's favor.
00:47:00.000Republican plus two in December to a low of Democrat plus nine and plus eight in May, and now it's improved for Trump to Democrat plus four for now.
00:47:10.000And now here's a new promising poll that shows Trump is beating Biden.
00:47:14.000Conducted by Rasmussen, Pulse Opinion, in the state of North Carolina, the poll of 750 likely voters shows the president beating Biden by a single point when leaners are included.
00:47:26.000So we can cherry-pick polls, and there's some polls that show Trump down in some of these states.
00:47:30.000But the enthusiasm index is definitely in the president's direction.
00:47:34.000I think there are some major issues here that are missing from the conversation.
00:47:38.000If the president can continue to show significant gains when it comes to the Chinese coronavirus, get college football back on the airwaves, I think this is his election to lose.
00:47:48.000I think he's going to have massive gains.
00:47:50.000And I think the more the president is ahead of the curve on the issue of the economy and law and order, the better.
00:47:57.000Tomorrow, we're going to go into a news story.
