00:00:26.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:27.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:28.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:37.000 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.

00:00:54.000 Go to andrewandodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:01.000 Joining us now is one of the most exciting congressional candidates in the country, someone we have to make sure wins.

00:01:06.000 Joe Kent from Washington, who defeated an impeachment voter and is now up against a very far left winger, Marie Perez.

00:01:15.000 I don't even want to talk about her, but Joe Kent joins us now.

00:01:18.000 Joe, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:20.000 Thanks so much for having me on.

00:01:21.000 So, Joe, take this opportunity, introduce yourself, talk about your race, and talk about what your message is the next 18 days before the election.

00:01:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:01:30.000 So, I had the honor of serving this country for a little over 20 years.

00:01:32.000 I was a green beret and did 11 combat deployments for this country.

00:01:35.000 Greatest honor of my life.

00:01:37.000 I thought I was going to continue serving in that capacity really for the rest of my adult life.

00:01:40.000 I had started a career, a second career in the CIA as a paramilitary operations officer.

00:01:45.000 That was until about three years ago when my late wife, who was also in the military, was killed fighting ISIS in Syria.

00:01:50.000 She was killed one month after Trump tried to get our troops out of that conflict the first time.

00:01:54.000 Secretary of Defense Mattis, a bunch of other unelected bureaucrats betrayed President Trump, resulting in my wife and three other Americans' deaths.

00:02:01.000 So, after that, I stepped aside, but had an opportunity to meet with President Trump, and I told him he was getting everything right as far as foreign policy went, starting to finally put our country first.

00:02:09.000 However, he was being thwarted at the mid to senior levels in ways I had never seen before in my 20 years of service.

00:02:14.000 So, started working with the Trump administration as an informal advisor, worked heavily on the Trump 2020 campaign.

00:02:20.000 And then we all know the rest.

00:02:21.000 The election was stolen, and then a bunch of folks decided they were going to vote for impeachment.

00:02:26.000 And I was living in one of the districts of one of the impeachment voters.

00:02:29.000 And so I looked around and nobody else was stepping forward.

00:02:31.000 And I said, I'm going to go for this.

00:02:32.000 We can't let this stand.

00:02:33.000 We have to start taking our country back.

00:02:35.000 And that was 19 months ago.

00:02:36.000 So we've been at it for this long, hard-fought primary.

00:02:38.000 We're grateful that we got through with everyone's support here in the district.

00:02:42.000 Right now, we're consolidating the Republican base here, and we are up against a very far-left Democrat who's doing what Democrats throughout the entire country are doing.

00:02:49.000 They're trying to say, hey, I'm a different kind of Democrat.

00:02:51.000 I'm not the one who's responsible for inflation, out of control, crime, our children being sexualized in the schools. 0.93

00:02:56.000 However, she endorses all of those exact same policies. 0.95

00:02:59.000 So she wants to go along with this inflation that's stealing everyone's wages. 0.99

00:03:03.000 She wants to go along with open borders, open jails, and really the Planned Parenthood sex edit agenda that is giving kids puberty walkers and mutilating surgeries. 1.00

00:03:12.000 So that's the fight we're in right now.

00:03:14.000 We're up by about five points.

00:03:15.000 We're just pushing hard through the tape.

00:03:18.000 Yeah, I can't wait to have you in Congress.

00:03:20.000 I think it's going to be such an important voice on a variety of different issues.

00:03:23.000 What is the composition of your district?

00:03:26.000 So we are about an R plus six or seven, and it's estimated in this cycle in 2022 that we're about an R plus eight or nine.

00:03:35.000 So I beat a 12-year incumbent. 0.97

00:03:36.000 She was a very soft Republican. 1.00

00:03:38.000 However, she held the district.

00:03:40.000 And we are, it's funny for folks who aren't familiar with the district.

00:03:42.000 We're a stone's throw away from Portland, Oregon.

00:03:44.000 We're right between Portland and Seattle.

00:03:46.000 We're one of the only districts.

00:03:47.000 I think we're the only red district that touches the Pacific Ocean and the continental United States.

00:03:52.000 So we're in a very unique place.

00:03:54.000 A lot of Trump voters, a lot of timber country.

00:03:57.000 We're fighting hard to make sure all of our people out in the rural communities get out there and vote.

00:04:02.000 So, I'm going to play Cut 39.

00:04:04.000 This is not in your district, but it's in the state that you are going to represent.

00:04:08.000 Seattle Middle School has so-called harm reduction policies that allow students to abuse hard drugs.

00:04:15.000 And two of the students explain about how they're not allowed to go to the bathroom because other middle schoolers are hitting up really hard drugs.

00:04:24.000 It's unbelievable.

00:04:25.000 These young middle schoolers say, Yeah, we have to administer overdose medication to our fellow classmates.

00:04:32.000 This is happening in Seattle public schools for middle schoolers.

00:04:35.000 Play Cut 39.

00:04:37.000 So, Ava, tell me about what you've heard about people learning how to administer Narcan to revive someone if they're having a drug overdose.

00:04:47.000 I mean, I think it's a good life skill to know, but you shouldn't be having to do it to your own classmates.

00:04:56.000 Yeah, so our bathroom breaks are changing.

00:04:58.000 We can't go to the bathroom between 10 minutes after or before or before school or classes because people are skipping and doing drugs in the bathroom.

00:05:12.000 The school is endorsing middle schoolers to take time off during class, and other kids are not allowed to go to the bathroom because the middle schoolers are doing heroin and cocaine in the school bathroom endorsed by the school.

00:05:25.000 Joe, what are your thoughts on this?

00:05:27.000 Absolute insanity.

00:05:28.000 And for folks who aren't familiar, and that's probably not just in Seattle.

00:05:31.000 Seattle is usually the furthest left in the entire country and the state.

00:05:34.000 But here in Washington State, the crazy thing is we have this status called mature minor.

00:05:39.000 If you're 13 or 14 years old, the school doesn't have to tell the parents of medical procedures that the students are receiving or any kind of therapy.

00:05:47.000 I think my guess is that that's where this, hey, you can go in the bathroom and use drugs periods coming from.

00:05:52.000 And probably the parents aren't even being notified of the kids that are doing this at school.

00:05:57.000 That's why this transgender ideology, the sexualization of our children, and just the overall degeneracy in our schools has become such a hot-button topic because people want autonomy back over their children and they realize they're being preyed upon, whether it's drugs in the bathrooms and schools or whether it's them being told that, hey, if you're confused about your sexuality, maybe you need some chemicals or potentially even a surgery and wink wink, we won't tell your parents about it. 1.00

00:06:18.000 People have had enough of that and they are ready to take their kids back and make sure that they're not being abused like this in the schools.

00:06:25.000 Yeah, no kidding.

00:06:26.000 I mean, mature minor.

00:06:28.000 I wonder if a mature minor can buy an AR-15.

00:06:30.000 Probably not.

00:06:31.000 You know, that's they don't believe in young people, you know, an 18-year-old being able to defend themselves, but a 13-year-old can definitely chop off their parts and chemically castrate themselves in more ways than one.

00:06:42.000 The economy is going into a totally awful direction, Joe.

00:06:45.000 One of the first things I hope you do when you're a congressman is just say no to this insane spending spree that has no basis in economic reality.

00:06:53.000 I want to play cut 49 on how economy and inflation is the top concern of voters.

00:06:59.000 Play cut 49.

00:07:00.000 How about this?

00:07:00.000 This is a New York Times poll, brand new here, asking voters what's the top issue on your mind this election.

00:07:06.000 I haven't seen it this dramatic in a poll.

00:07:08.000 Add the economy and inflation together.

00:07:11.000 That is 44%.

00:07:13.000 We're getting close to half of all respondents in this poll saying that's their top issue.

00:07:17.000 Nothing else even cracks 10% right now.

00:07:21.000 Joe, your thoughts?

00:07:22.000 Yeah, that reflects the reality on the ground.

00:07:26.000 You can look at all the fancy charts you want all day long, but you don't need a PhD in economics to understand what gas cost just two years ago.

00:07:33.000 It was under $2 per gallon out here in Washington state, and people weren't being strangled every single day.

00:07:39.000 I mean, right now, as it stands, one month or more of people's wages is going to be stolen this year alone just due to inflation.

00:07:46.000 And what is the Democrats' solution?

00:07:47.000 They want to keep gas astronomically high.

00:07:50.000 Biden's making no efforts whatsoever to give people any kind of alleviation of the pump.

00:07:54.000 My opponent said she'd sign on to the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that adds on new taxes to domestic energy production.

00:08:00.000 And then, like you said, the out-of-control spending.

00:08:03.000 I mean, the three major pieces of legislation that Democrats passed this last Congress, it's estimated somewhere between six and seven trillion dollars more onto our deficit on the backs of our kids and grandkids.

00:08:12.000 So, this is right up in people's faces.

00:08:15.000 And this is bringing over a lot of independents, a lot of people who have never been politically engaged before over to our side because they're just hearing more of the same.

00:08:23.000 And they've had two years of one-party control, and they are absolutely sick of that.

00:08:27.000 Yeah, I mean, Joe has drained, I mean, actually raided our strategic petroleum deserve reserve.

00:08:34.000 It's unbelievable.

00:08:35.000 JoeKentforCongress.com, go there and support him.

00:08:38.000 That is joekentforcongress.com. 0.93

00:08:40.000 He's running up against the tonal lunatic.

00:08:42.000 We got to make sure Joe wins.

00:08:43.000 Joe, thank you so much for joining us.

00:08:45.000 Thank you so much, Charlie.

00:08:46.000 I really appreciate it.

00:08:47.000 Thank you.

00:08:51.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:08:52.000 Look, I've told you about producer Andrew and how Relief Factor has really improved his life and relieved the pain in his knees and back.

00:08:58.000 Now, let me tell you about Yvonne in California.

00:09:00.000 She says this: Both my husband and I are in our 70s and so grateful to have found Relief Factor.

00:09:06.000 We tried so many other solutions, but none of them have given us the freedom from aches and pains like Relief Factor.

00:09:12.000 I hear Yvonne, Relief Factor works for me too.

00:09:14.000 Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free solution developed by doctors based on scientific research to help your body attack the underlying inflammation causing you pain.

00:09:24.000 Three weeks from now, you could be doing the things you enjoy doing.

00:09:27.000 Your first step to becoming pain-free could be just to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

00:09:33.000 After trying Relief Factor, over half a million people have gone on to order more.

00:09:38.000 Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief to find out more about this offer.

00:09:42.000 That's relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief.

00:09:45.000 Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor.

00:09:51.000 So, if the media, a big media company, were purchased by a Republican, there'd be a lot of uproar and rancor.

00:09:58.000 Oh, my goodness, billionaire Republican buys the Washington Post.

00:10:02.000 Okay.

00:10:03.000 But there is a company that is far more critical, that is a staple to the regime that they cannot lose, and that is Twitter.

00:10:14.000 Twitter is a simulation.

00:10:15.000 Twitter is not real life.

00:10:16.000 Twitter used to be a lot of fun five or six years ago.

00:10:19.000 We used to have one of the top Twitter accounts on the planet because we understood how the platform worked, and it was organic and it was authentic and it was bottom-up.

00:10:27.000 And you were legitimately able to impact the news cycle, impact millions of people with contrarian ideas, with heterodox takes.

00:10:36.000 And then all of a sudden, Twitter was captured by the very same regime that raided Mar-a-Lago, goes after pro-life leaders, and they have a consensus that by any means necessary, they need to have a platform where it feels like you could speak freely, but it's actually the absence of free thought.

00:10:58.000 The whole thing is a game.

00:10:59.000 It's a simulation.

00:11:00.000 And that's exactly what Twitter has become.

00:11:03.000 And so Twitter has become kind of like this public-private partnership: you're not allowed to speak out against the issues we care about, whether it be environmentalism and climate change, COVID and vaccines, the mRNA shot.

00:11:16.000 You can't do any of those things.

00:11:17.000 Now, if Twitter were to actually be liberated by these Bolsheviks, the Democrats will not win a major election for the next 20 years. 0.94

00:11:26.000 That's how important Twitter is.

00:11:28.000 Twitter is the incubator of elite opinion in society.

00:11:32.000 It's not a matter of how wide Twitter goes.

00:11:35.000 It's also a question of how deep does Twitter go.

00:11:39.000 I mean, it almost looks like Twitter has almost become an intelligence operation in recent years to influence many major narratives.

00:11:48.000 So, of course, Elon Musk got into this whole thing with Twitter.

00:11:51.000 Whether he regrets it or not, it's too bad.

00:11:52.000 It's like he has to buy it.

00:11:53.000 And it looks that within a week or two, with a 90% certainty, Elon Musk is going to own Twitter.

00:12:00.000 He has said that he is going to reduce the Twitter workforce by 75%.

00:12:05.000 Just fire all of these freaks that work there with no life, with degrees from Caltech. 0.99

00:12:10.000 Go get a job at Meta or whatever. 1.00

00:12:12.000 These people are low-life degenerates. 0.93

00:12:15.000 I've dealt with a lot of them. 0.94

00:12:16.000 They find pleasure in suppressing your speech.

00:12:19.000 They have this messianic power complex of trying to referee the opinions of an entire nation.

00:12:26.000 Forget it.

00:12:27.000 And so Elon buys this company.

00:12:31.000 And if he were to actually liberate Twitter and allow people to speak freely and allow people to challenge their leaders and to get heterodox opinions out there, the regime becomes less powerful overnight.

00:12:43.000 So now what does the government want to do?

00:12:46.000 Now, what is the Uniparty demanding?

00:12:50.000 Well, the United States government is coming out and saying, hey, we need to now make the Twitter deal subject to a national security review.

00:13:00.000 Biden regime officials are discussing whether the U.S. should subject some of Elon Musk's ventures to national security reviews, including the deal for Twitter and SpaceX Starlink satellite network.

00:13:13.000 U.S. officials have grown uncomfortable over Musk's recent threat to stop supplying the Starlink satellite service to Ukraine.

00:13:20.000 He said it had cost $80 million so far, what they see as his increasingly Russia-friendly stance.

00:13:26.000 What?

00:13:27.000 Is Ukraine a part of the United States?

00:13:30.000 Why are we putting up with this?

00:13:32.000 This is one of my great complaints against the Republican Party.

00:13:34.000 And they know they're wrong.

00:13:35.000 Every time I talk to a U.S. Senator about this, they run for the hills.

00:13:38.000 They start shaking.

00:13:39.000 They can't answer questions because they know they're bought and paid for by Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin.

00:13:46.000 Continues by saying: the government is also concerned that his plans to buy Twitter with a group of foreign investors.

00:13:53.000 Right.

00:13:54.000 The discussions are still at an early stage, the people said.

00:13:57.000 Officials in the U.S. Government Intelligence Committee, our community, are weighing what tools, if any, are available that would allow the federal government to review Musk's ventures. 0.58

00:14:07.000 Oh, so the world's richest man, who also is supplying you guys with your stupid electric vehicles all over the place and your solar panels, who happens to be a whiz of an entrepreneur, all of a sudden is a threat because he happens to love free speech.

00:14:21.000 Let's go put him under a national security review. 0.81

00:14:27.000 The interagency panel known as SFIUS, overseen by the Treasury Department, reviews acquisitions of U.S. business by foreign buyers.

00:14:35.000 Why is it that SIFIA isn't reviewing, I don't know, Chinese officials buying farmland next to military bases?

00:14:45.000 So the Chinese go buy military bases, go buy farmland next to military bases, no one cares. 0.99

00:14:52.000 China goes has police stations in Manhattan, nobody cares. 0.99

00:14:55.000 But Elon Musk, an American citizen, says, I want to go buy Twitter to liberate it from the anti-speech regime.

00:15:01.000 And the federal government says, we've got to stop this.

00:15:04.000 This is a punishment via the process, is what they're trying to do.

00:15:08.000 They are trying to stop Elon Musk from allowing speech to reign free online.

00:15:15.000 This is so outrageous.

00:15:16.000 When Republicans take back Congress, we've got to investigate every single one of these criminals.

00:15:24.000 You want to know what the left's real plan is for your kids?

00:15:27.000 Just look at how they react to the wonderful company of Patriot Mobile.

00:15:31.000 I use Patriot Mobile, and you should too.

00:15:33.000 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.

00:15:38.000 This is because they take a portion of your bill and fund conservative causes and candidates who believe in sanctity of life, freedom of speech, the Second Amendment, and they're winning.

00:15:46.000 Patriot Mobile is amazing.

00:15:47.000 They have affordable plans for you, your family, even your business.

00:15:51.000 They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers because they use multiple major networks.

00:15:56.000 Plus, you're supporting conservative values with every call.

00:16:25.000 Joining us now is one of the most exciting races in the country, and I think it's going to shock the world what's going on in Colorado.

00:16:31.000 I'm in Colorado right now.

00:16:32.000 We have to do this interview remotely, but it is Heidi Gannel.

00:16:35.000 I've known Heidi for a long time, and she's running up against Polis.

00:16:38.000 Polis has got to go. 0.95

00:16:39.000 Heidi, tell us about your race.

00:16:41.000 I think you got a lot of momentum.

00:16:43.000 Tell us about it.

00:16:44.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:16:45.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:16:45.000 People are fired up here in Colorado to take our state back.

00:16:49.000 He tries to act like a moderate, Jared Polis does, and he's a total, total far-left activist who's destroyed our energy industry, passed one of the most extreme abortion laws in the country, made fentanyl a misdemeanor in most cases, which is destroying our communities and killing our kids.

00:17:05.000 And, you know, really just doesn't align with our values here in Colorado.

00:17:11.000 People are waking up, and I think they're going to give him a big surprise on November 8th.

00:17:16.000 What are some of the biggest issues in Colorado?

00:17:18.000 And, you know, some people saying, you know, outside of the state of Colorado, oh, you know, there's no chance Republicans can't win, but you've won statewide before.

00:17:26.000 You won statewide for a board of regents seat.

00:17:28.000 What are the biggest issues right now in Colorado?

00:17:30.000 Do you see kind of some of the national pressures playing out here as well?

00:17:34.000 Absolutely, Charlie.

00:17:35.000 Believe it or not, Colorado is the highest inflation rate in the country, 16% since Joe Biden took office, number one in the country.

00:17:43.000 It's costing everybody in Colorado about $1,000 more a month to live right now.

00:17:48.000 And fentanyl is a huge issue here.

00:17:50.000 We are the second highest in increase in fentanyl deaths in the country because Jared Polis made us a sanctuary state and decriminalized fentanyl.

00:17:58.000 And finally, crime is out of control here.

00:18:01.000 We are the fourth worst state for crime in the country, number one in auto theft, number one in bank robberies, number one in cocaine use.

00:18:08.000 It is just horrible what is happening to our beautiful state here.

00:18:12.000 And I have a plan to fix all of it.

00:18:16.000 Yeah, so tell us about that.

00:18:17.000 I mean, Jared Polis has just been such a disappointment in so many ways.

00:18:20.000 He pretends to be this moderate where he really isn't.

00:18:23.000 Tell us about your plan.

00:18:24.000 Tell us about how you would turn Colorado into the state that I grew up loving.

00:18:28.000 And it's turned into a beautiful dystopian nightmare.

00:18:31.000 It's beautiful scenery, wonderful, you know, people, but the politics are just so awful.

00:18:36.000 Tell us about your plan.

00:18:38.000 Well, first and foremost, we have to take care of our kids.

00:18:40.000 60% of our kids here cannot read, write, or do math at grade level.

00:18:45.000 That is a tragedy.

00:18:46.000 We've got to provide choice and transparency in the classroom and competition by going all in on school choice, similar to what Arizona did with education savings accounts.

00:18:56.000 Then I've got to be a strong, strong leader and put law and order back in place and replace all of the leadership at the various law enforcement agencies and make sure we have their back and cancel our status as a sanctuary state and make fentanyl a felony, which it should be.

00:19:12.000 And finally, we've got to make sure that it's affordable to live here again.

00:19:16.000 So I'm going to take Colorado to zero income tax like nine other states have done over eight years and put more money back into the pockets of the people of Colorado.

00:19:25.000 Well, that is ambitious.

00:19:26.000 I'll tell you, to take Colorado down to zero would make it a compelling, a compelling place to live and to move to.

00:19:33.000 So tell us about the parents' rights movement.

00:19:36.000 I think that this could be one of your kind of sleeper coalitions that could kind of sneak up on Polis.

00:19:42.000 Been so many moms and dads across the state of Colorado that have been rising up and challenging kind of the regime of kind of nonsense in schools, pornography being taught to kids.

00:19:54.000 Talk about the parents' rights movement in Colorado and how it's really gaining steam.

00:19:59.000 Oh, I think that's our secret sauce here.

00:20:01.000 I say I'm a mom on a mission, even though I've done a lot in the business world.

00:20:05.000 I launched Camp Bow Wow, the country's largest pet care franchise, and I run it, you know, help run a $5 billion organization right now.

00:20:12.000 The key is the parents.

00:20:13.000 They flipped 10 school boards last year here in Colorado because of the woke nonsense going on in the schools and because our kids can't read, write, or do math.

00:20:22.000 So, what I want to do is give parents hope and inspiration that they will be in control again, that we will give power back to parents to make good choices, make different choices if they want to by funding the student, not the system, and providing transparency in the classroom, which Jared Polis did not support a bill that would give transparency in curriculum.

00:20:42.000 And also, yesterday, of course, we had the vaccination issues going on with the CDC.

00:20:47.000 And I came out with a bold statement that I would not require our kids here in Colorado to get the COVID vaccine.

00:20:53.000 What does Polis say about that?

00:20:55.000 Oh, he had some squishy answer about how he would refer to local municipalities in the CDC.

00:21:01.000 It's basically him just kowtowing like he normally does to his unelected bureaucrats.

00:21:05.000 He has every intention of doing not what's right for the kids, what's right for him, and getting more control over our children.

00:21:13.000 Yeah, I have to believe that if you are a mom or dad in the suburbs of Denver and you might not love Republicans, you might think, you know, somewhat neutral on Polis, but the idea that your five-year-old might now have to take the mRNA shot to go be able to go to soccer practice.

00:21:34.000 I can't imagine that's going to help Polis in any way, shape, or form. 0.99

00:21:38.000 So, good for you for having the courage to speak out against it.

00:21:41.000 And Heidi, just to give you some polling, though, 97% of Americans do not think kids should have to take this shot.

00:21:47.000 97%.

00:21:48.000 We can't agree on anything.

00:21:50.000 97% is just overwhelming.

00:21:52.000 And so, talk a little bit more about your opponent.

00:21:55.000 He's spending a bunch of money. 0.86

00:21:57.000 He is very dishonest.

00:21:58.000 He's turned Colorado into an unrecognizable state.

00:22:02.000 Talk more about kind of what you're up against here and how you're closing the gap.

00:22:06.000 Well, and I think folks should care around the country about what's happening here with Jared Polis because he wants to run for president.

00:22:13.000 He is absolutely putting his hat in the ring on that front.

00:22:16.000 So, if we can stop him here in a few weeks, I think that would help our country overall.

00:22:21.000 We do not want the policies of Jared Polis throughout America.

00:22:24.000 He's destroyed our energy industry here with his Green New Deal.

00:22:28.000 He's passed the most extreme abortion law in the country here in Colorado.

00:22:31.000 You can have abortion up until a baby's birthday.

00:22:34.000 He has opened the floodgates by creating us as a sanctuary state to fentanyl and the poison that that is.

00:22:41.000 And he's destroying our ag industry.

00:22:43.000 Our agriculture industry here is number two in the nation.

00:22:46.000 He had a meetout day, and I'm married to one of the top barbecue cooks in the country.

00:22:50.000 That will never happen under my watch.

00:22:53.000 But don't believe the polls.

00:22:55.000 I am feeling it on the ground.

00:22:56.000 We've got internal numbers that look very close.

00:22:59.000 They're doing everything they can to depress the vote and make it seem like a lost cause.

00:23:03.000 Colorado is anything but a lost cause.

00:23:05.000 We are going to pull off a huge upset on November 8th.

00:23:09.000 I love it.

00:23:09.000 Tell our audience about your website and how people can support you.

00:23:12.000 Heidi Gannall running for governor in Colorado.

00:23:14.000 I've known Heidi a long time.

00:23:16.000 I'm enthusiastically behind her.

00:23:18.000 I was behind you in the primary.

00:23:19.000 I was super pleased to see you succeed there. 0.99

00:23:21.000 Heidi, talk about how people can support your campaign.

00:23:24.000 Well, thanks, Charlie.

00:23:25.000 You've been a warrior, and I so appreciate all you've done as well, especially helping me in higher education with the nonsense there.

00:23:32.000 But Heidi4Gov is the website.

00:23:34.000 We've got all the information on all our policies there.

00:23:36.000 We need all the help we can get here in Colorado.

00:23:39.000 We're an underdog, but that's how I've spent my whole life.

00:23:42.000 I've always been an underdog, and I've figured out how to get things done.

00:23:45.000 And we'll get this done in a few weeks.

00:23:47.000 So go to the website, follow us on social media.

00:23:49.000 We're having some fun on social media and poking at Polis and pointing out all the crazy stuff he's doing.

00:23:55.000 So let's stop him here in Colorado so he can't do what he's done here to the rest of America.

00:24:00.000 I love it.

00:24:01.000 Heidi, keep running a great race.

00:24:03.000 We're 18 days out.

00:24:04.000 I think you're going to shock the world.

00:24:05.000 Heidi4Gov.com.

00:24:07.000 Check it out.

00:24:08.000 Heidi, thanks so much.

00:24:09.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:24:10.000 Have a great day.

00:24:12.000 Thank you.

00:24:12.000 You too.

00:24:13.000 Let's go to Cut 54 of what has now become a very tight race.

00:24:19.000 Tudor Dixon is within the margin of error to become the governor of Michigan.

00:24:22.000 I'm telling you, you could see a red wave of governors, Carrie Lake Tudor Dixon.

00:24:27.000 Minnesota governor's race. 1.00

00:24:28.000 Play cut 54.

00:24:30.000 Well, the governor wants you to believe that she did listen to the experts, but we have the letter from the Nursing Home Association that said, whatever you do, don't send COVID-positive patients into nursing homes.

00:24:42.000 And yet the governor did.

00:24:43.000 She even tried to hide the final report of the numbers of how many deaths we had.

00:24:48.000 In fact, she's tried to hide a lot from this pandemic.

00:24:51.000 She tried to hide, or she did hide effectively, why her Department of Health and Human Services director left.

00:24:58.000 In fact, she even paid him off with a secrecy agreement.

00:25:03.000 That race is now within the margin of error.

00:25:05.000 And in Minnesota, the governor's race is tied.

00:25:10.000 Tied in the state of Minnesota.

00:25:12.000 DeSantis' latest poll shows him up 11 points.

00:25:14.000 Abbott up 11 points against Robert Francis O'Rourke.

00:25:19.000 You got to love it. 0.76

00:25:21.000 Gretchen Whitmer only up two points. 1.00

00:25:24.000 The Wicked Witch of Michigan, who very well might be displaced. 0.98

00:25:26.000 I'm telling you, this is building.

00:25:28.000 It is starting to get to a crescendo moment.

00:25:30.000 Tudor Dixon would be just such an amazing governor and to beat Gretchen Whitmer.

00:25:35.000 Gretchen Whitmer was such a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical regime and the lockdown agenda. 0.99

00:25:40.000 Oh, it would be a beautiful ballot referendum to see her lose. 1.00

00:25:44.000 She's probably top five.

00:25:45.000 And yes, I would love to see J.B. Pritzker lose.

00:25:48.000 I know.

00:25:49.000 I'm pulling for Darren Bailey.

00:25:50.000 I'm pulling for a miracle.

00:25:51.000 I'm pulling for all of that.

00:25:52.000 J.B. Pritzker is pumping in a lot of money into that race.

00:25:55.000 But don't be shocked if that Darren Bailey-Pritzker race gets down to single digits.

00:26:00.000 I'm telling you, it could be a lot closer.

00:26:01.000 People in Illinois are really fed up.

00:26:03.000 Want to play cut 53?

00:26:05.000 Tudor Dixon continues.

00:26:06.000 Play Cut 53. 0.95

00:26:08.000 I want to remind you that she has vetoed more bills than any governor in the last 70 years.

00:26:13.000 So when she has sat up here and talked about her bipartisan willingness to work with people, do not be deceived. 1.00

00:26:19.000 This is a woman who shut down the state and had to have her powers, her powers, removed by the Supreme Court. 0.70

00:26:27.000 And we have some exclusive news to share with you from Nevada.

00:26:31.000 Some breaking news, not public yet, exclusive on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:26:35.000 Nevada Senate race, Adam Laxalt, Republican up against Catherine Cortez-Masto.

00:26:40.000 Catherine Cortez-Masto, 43%.

00:26:43.000 Adam Laxalt, 48%.

00:26:46.000 A five-point lead in the Senate race.

00:26:48.000 And in the governor's race, Joe Lombardo, 47%.

00:26:52.000 Steve Sisilak, 42%.

00:26:53.000 Nevada is about to realign as a red state, everybody.

00:26:58.000 That is a massive threat to Harry Reed's Disciples and all of those acolytes throughout Clark County.

00:27:06.000 There is something special happening in the state of Nevada.

00:27:10.000 It's happening in Arizona.

00:27:11.000 It's happening in Georgia.

00:27:12.000 It's happening in Michigan.

00:27:13.000 It's happening in Minnesota.

00:27:14.000 It's happening in Pennsylvania.

00:27:15.000 That is from Rasmussen, by the way.

00:27:18.000 That is from that.

00:27:19.000 That poll is from Rasmussen.

00:27:21.000 Five-point lead for Adam Laxalt.

00:27:23.000 Now, does that mean we could celebrate?

00:27:25.000 I mean, Clark County could do such nonsensical stuff.

00:27:27.000 We are not going to celebrate until every single vote is counted.

00:27:32.000 Now is the time not just win by five.

00:27:33.000 Let's win by 10. 1.00

00:27:34.000 Let's obliterate these people. 1.00

00:27:36.000 Let's expand the ranks. 0.99

00:27:38.000 Every Hispanic out there, every person that has never voted Republican before, welcome to the Republican Party.

00:27:43.000 Our movement is diverse, it's inclusive, it's exciting, it's optimistic, it's forward-thinking.

00:27:48.000 We are going to overwhelm the system on November 8th.

00:27:52.000 We've got a date with Destiny on November 8th, everybody.

00:27:55.000 The woke Democrat Party, the Radical Democrat Party that calls moms and dads terrorists, that teaches your kids pornography, that has inflated our currency, that has kept our border wide open.

00:28:06.000 We're not just going to send a message to them.

00:28:08.000 We're going to send a message to every single one of the deep state bureaucrats.

00:28:11.000 The people are back in charge.

00:28:12.000 We are hours away from that.

00:28:14.000 We're, what, 420 hours away, 425 hours away from a referendum on all of you.

00:28:19.000 We are counting the hours, we're counting the minutes to the people take back power in America.

00:28:23.000 November 8th is right around the corner, and it is building, it is crescendoing.

00:28:29.000 We've got to keep the pressure on.

00:28:31.000 We are 400 hours away, but we've got to put every ounce of energy into this.

00:28:37.000 We are not going to be spectators, we're going to be in the arena.

00:28:39.000 As Teddy Roosevelt famously said, it's the man in the arena that counts.

00:28:44.000 It is not just a spectator sport anymore.

00:28:47.000 Okay, let's go to another piece of sound here.

00:28:51.000 The Pennsylvania Senate race, by the way, is really tight between Dr. Oz and Fetterman.

00:28:55.000 I think Oz is going to take it.

00:28:57.000 It really is, it's really an amazing thing.

00:29:01.000 Herschel Walker is also closing.

00:29:03.000 Let's go to some Herschel tape here.

00:29:06.000 Let's go to Cut 12.

00:29:10.000 First of all, you have to blame this administration and Senator Warnot because within two years, this inflation has gotten worse.

00:29:18.000 They cut our energy independence.

00:29:22.000 They also raised taxes.

00:29:24.000 And at the same time, they're recklessly spending all our money.

00:29:28.000 So he would sit here tonight and say that he's doing a good job for us.

00:29:32.000 And you asked me what is one job I would do to help the inflation.

00:29:37.000 First of all, we've got to become independent, energy-independent again.

00:29:41.000 And the reason why, we're going to our enemies to ask for gas and oil.

00:29:46.000 And that puts us not just in an inflation problem, but it puts us on a national security problem.

00:29:53.000 One of the great crimes of the last couple of years is how Biden intentionally destroyed our energy supremacy, superiority, and energy independence.

00:30:02.000 We don't talk about it enough.

00:30:03.000 We were exporting more oil than we were importing.

00:30:06.000 Oil and natural gas development across the country.

00:30:10.000 We have these amazing blessings given to us by the Lord, and we've intentionally decided to destroy it.

00:30:16.000 Our own actions.

00:30:17.000 Our own actions did that.

00:30:19.000 All by a stroke of a pen and the environmentalists that want to see America weaker, want to see us poorer.

00:30:25.000 I mean, one way that you could stop inflation overnight is just increase oil production.

00:30:31.000 Bring down the price of oil.

00:30:34.000 Joe Biden is trying to crush the fossil fuel industry, destroy energy as we know it.

00:30:39.000 It literally is the lifeblood of a civilization.

00:30:41.000 You cannot have a society if you do not have oil and natural gas.

00:30:45.000 It's not possible.

00:30:47.000 The mainstream media is getting their messaging in alignment.

00:30:51.000 Play cut 112 of the mainstream media talking about the dangers of powerful white people.

00:30:55.000 Play cut 112.

00:30:57.000 Many of us have seen the dangers.

00:30:59.000 When powerful white people decide they want something, they annex it.

00:31:02.000 And they've never had a problem replacing the people who stand in their way. 0.99

00:31:06.000 We see American white people going crazy. 0.98

00:31:10.000 They're resorting to violence. 0.99

00:31:12.000 This is literally what conservative white folks do when they don't get their way. 0.75

00:31:16.000 They turn violent. 0.98

00:31:18.000 White people deputizing themselves in some position of authority to have jurisdiction over their life when they need to mind their blanking business. 0.99

00:31:28.000 Yes, sit in your corner, white people, while we scold you and condescendingly yammer at you all day long. 0.99

00:31:34.000 And so that first person was Tiffany Cross. 1.00

00:31:36.000 She's a bigot. 1.00

00:31:38.000 She's a racist. 1.00

00:31:39.000 She's a disgusting and vile person. 1.00

00:31:42.000 By the way, she says this is white rage and white backlash. 1.00

00:31:45.000 Why is it that so many Hispanics are then coming to Republican circles to vote for Republicans?

00:31:52.000 The growing coalition of the Democrat Party are going to be people that are permanently addicted to government assistance, a majority of blacks, but I think that's going to change. 1.00

00:32:01.000 And white liberals.

00:32:02.000 That's it. 1.00

00:32:03.000 And then white liberal females that I can't quite map the psychodrama that goes on in upper middle class white female liberal culture. 0.60

00:32:14.000 It's very bizarre to me.

00:32:15.000 It's as if they want everyone else to be miserable alongside themselves. 0.96

00:32:18.000 But besides that, every other normal person in society except upper middle class white liberal women, there's going to be a huge political realignment. 0.98

00:32:27.000 And I hope the Republican Party is ready for it.

00:32:30.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
