The Charlie Kirk Show - Kooky Kamala Chokes on Anderson Cooper's Softball Questions

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today's The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:01.000 Blake and I go through the disastrous town hall of Kamala Harris, one of the worst interviews in the history of interviews.

00:00:06.000 We're not just saying that.

00:00:07.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast and go vote now.

00:00:12.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:13.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:13.000 Here we go.

00:00:15.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:17.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:21.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:24.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:25.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:26.000 His 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. 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.

00:00:43.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:11.000 I have Blake co-piloting today in the interest of Charlie not losing his voice again right before the election.

00:01:18.000 Blake, good to see you, Blake.

00:01:19.000 You know, we've been keeping you kind of as a relief pitcher.

00:01:21.000 We've intentionally not had Blake travel with us because we knew that this was happening.

00:01:26.000 Mikey's down for the count.

00:01:27.000 Andrew's got something going on for like the last week.

00:01:29.000 I'm losing my voice.

00:01:30.000 We're dropping like flies.

00:01:32.000 But hey, here comes the relief pitcher.

00:01:34.000 Blake, how are you doing?

00:01:35.000 How are things looking from a little bit of the outsider's perspective?

00:01:38.000 Oh, I mean, you're on a roll, Charlie.

00:01:41.000 I can tell.

00:01:42.000 We're really building up to the climax here.

00:01:44.000 Your speech last night was a night with a lot of barn burners.

00:01:49.000 I mean, Tucker Carlson gave an amazing speech yesterday in Georgia, and I thought your speech was right on par with that.

00:01:57.000 So we wouldn't want to lose your voice, although I will admit it will be really funny if we're winning on election night and you're there being like, this is so great, everybody.

00:02:07.000 It's awesome.

00:02:08.000 So that will be funny, but we do want to keep you intact so that we can have full-throated Charlie when we get to the final days. 1.00

00:02:19.000 If we were to win.

00:02:20.000 So thank you, Blake, for that.

00:02:22.000 Blake, I want to kind of hand it off to you and you can navigate the audience here.

00:02:24.000 But just first, I want to show 102.

00:02:26.000 This was our Georgia event yesterday where we had well over 10,000 people and 12,000 people outside.

00:02:32.000 It was just incredible.

00:02:33.000 But Blake, the noteworthy news is worth examining and diving into is what Kamala Harris did on CNN, which very well should have been just a...

00:02:46.000 It's kind of routine.

00:02:47.000 Here's the questions.

00:02:49.000 Answer them.

00:02:50.000 I'm the vice president.

00:02:51.000 Gain some points of independence.

00:02:52.000 Ended up being one of the more shocking things of this entire campaign.

00:02:56.000 And that says something.

00:02:57.000 And we have a lot of tape to play.

00:02:58.000 Blake, walk us through it.

00:03:00.000 Yeah, so last week feels...

00:03:02.000 I had to double check.

00:03:03.000 I thought it was two weeks ago.

00:03:04.000 No, it was just last week she went on Fox News with Brett Baer.

00:03:08.000 It was a pretty combative back-and-forth interview.

00:03:11.000 Brett asked her some tough questions.

00:03:13.000 He interrupted her a few times to really push it home.

00:03:16.000 And the Democrats are really unhappy about that.

00:03:18.000 They were complaining about it.

00:03:20.000 But it's okay.

00:03:21.000 You know, it's a Fox audience.

00:03:22.000 It was making a play for those never-Trump conservatives.

00:03:26.000 It doesn't go great.

00:03:26.000 Not the end of the world.

00:03:27.000 So let's just go and do another town hall with CNN. I think this is literally what they scheduled because they couldn't agree to a second debate, so she was just going to go on CNN by herself.

00:03:38.000 You have Anderson Cooper, a nice, good regime liberal.

00:03:42.000 He's going to ask you all the questions you want to hear.

00:03:44.000 And you just get an hour and 15 with Anderson to pitch to the audience.

00:03:49.000 And, you know, I feel like even before we show Kamala's clips, I think the best thing to do is to just show how CNN's own liberals were reacting to it after this is over.

00:04:01.000 This is David Axelrod, a former staffer in the Obama administration, clearly wants Kamala to win.

00:04:09.000 And his response was clip 98.

00:04:12.000 She doesn't want to answer a question.

00:04:15.000 Her habit is to kind of go to word salad city, and she did that on a couple of answers.

00:04:21.000 One was on Israel.

00:04:22.000 Anderson asked a direct question, would you be stronger on Israel than Israel?

00:04:25.000 Trump.

00:04:27.000 And there was a seven-minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking.

00:04:34.000 A seven-minute answer.

00:04:36.000 And not only that, there was another question also related to that where an audience member asked her how she would handle anti-Semitism on campus.

00:04:44.000 And we don't have that clip, Charlie, because it is too long.

00:04:47.000 Her answer was over five minutes long, according to the New York Times.

00:04:51.000 I actually, I want to read the New York Times summary of this.

00:04:54.000 This is another great one.

00:04:55.000 Again, New York Times, clearly a publication that wants Kamala to win. 0.99

00:04:58.000 But they have this take.

00:05:00.000 Ms. Harris got one fairly straightforward question from a Jewish independent voter about how she would deal with anti-Semitism on campus. 0.90

00:05:07.000 In an answer that stretched for more than five minutes, she briefly touched on hate crimes, but then jumped into a discursive tangent that addressed Mr. Trump's reported invocations of Hitler, his relationship with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, and his actions during the coronavirus pandemic. and his actions during the coronavirus pandemic.

00:05:26.000 It was just all of these rambling answers.

00:05:31.000 Politico is noting this.

00:05:32.000 CNN is noting this.

00:05:33.000 The New York Times is noting this.

00:05:35.000 All the outlets that she needs to come out and just robotically say, oh, Kamala presented herself to the American people in a firm way.

00:05:43.000 She stood against Trump's fascism.

00:05:46.000 All of that stuff, all the people who are supposed to be on our side are saying, more or less, this was a disaster.

00:05:52.000 She can't define herself.

00:05:54.000 She can't give a clear answer to things.

00:05:57.000 We have some of our clips that don't go for multiple minutes.

00:06:01.000 We have clip 82, which is a question a lot of people would get during a...

00:06:07.000 Like a job interview, you know, what's a shortcoming you have that you have overcome?

00:06:12.000 And this is how she responds to it.

00:06:15.000 Let's play number 82.

00:06:17.000 Is there something you can point to in your life, political life or in your life in the last four years, that you think is a mistake that you have learned from?

00:06:27.000 I mean, I've made many mistakes.

00:06:32.000 They range from, you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know you make lots of mistakes, too.

00:06:39.000 In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues, and I think that is very important.

00:06:54.000 It's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question.

00:07:00.000 That was one of the worst answers in the history.

00:07:04.000 So, just be clear, she does not think she's made any mistakes.

00:07:06.000 And this is the easiest question to answer, because you can answer it in a way where the audience would draw sympathy with you and actually gain in standing.

00:07:14.000 What she should have said is, honestly, Anderson, early in my career, I pushed myself too hard, and I didn't put my health first, and now I really hit a good pace.

00:07:22.000 And I know my limits.

00:07:24.000 And I know that I have to get my sleep.

00:07:26.000 And I know that I have to, you know, carve out some time for me and for family.

00:07:30.000 But I made a mistake early on in my career to push myself too hard.

00:07:35.000 Everyone can resonate with that.

00:07:35.000 Great answer, right?

00:07:37.000 She's obviously super ambitious, right?

00:07:39.000 She obviously wants to be president. 1.00

00:07:41.000 That's all she had to say.

00:07:42.000 That is all she had to say.

00:07:43.000 Instead, that might have been, Blake, one of the worst answers in the history I mean, not only was it a non-answer, it was like, I've done nothing wrong.

00:07:52.000 It was a non-answer, and also, like, it was almost passive-aggressive at the end.

00:07:57.000 But she actually, she does give an answer.

00:07:59.000 Her answer is, like, sometimes it's a mistake not to try to answer questions that you're not prepared for, implicitly, like this one, and just stares at him after she says that.

00:08:11.000 It's really...

00:08:13.000 Like, it's unbelievable.

00:08:15.000 Again, we can't play the whole thing, but another thing the New York Times flagged was she would get asked about a million different issues.

00:08:23.000 She would get asked about, you know, would you expand the Supreme Court?

00:08:26.000 Do you want to raise taxes on people making over 500k?

00:08:30.000 Should America pay for all the benefits for the illegals crossing the border? 1.00

00:08:33.000 Are you going to make Roe v.

00:08:35.000 Wade federal law?

00:08:35.000 What are you going to do about Gaza?

00:08:37.000 Her answer is boiled down to, Donald Trump would be worse.

00:08:41.000 And that's just her answer to everything.

00:08:44.000 This is flagged by our friend Mark Halpern last night, that there's been a clear pivot by the Kamala campaign to just say the Hitler word over and over again. 1.00

00:08:55.000 Donald Trump is a fascist. 0.99

00:08:57.000 She did say that last night. 1.00

00:08:58.000 She said, Donald Trump's a fascist. 1.00

00:09:00.000 He's a fascist. 1.00

00:09:01.000 He's Hitler. 1.00

00:09:02.000 Hitler is bad. 1.00

00:09:03.000 We are anti-Hitler as the Democrats. 0.55

00:09:06.000 And that's our case to the American people.

00:09:09.000 And it's a jarring swerve because it's very much just trying to rally the base.

00:09:16.000 And you wonder, you know, they went from appeal to the middle with, you know, some middle class rhetoric.

00:09:21.000 Talk about expanding the child tax credit.

00:09:24.000 And now two weeks to go, it's suddenly just Hitler, Hitler, Hitler. 0.84

00:09:27.000 And I think what you've got to say is I suspect her campaign has seen the numbers on early votes.

00:09:32.000 They may have seen some internal polling.

00:09:35.000 And what they're seeing is their base is feeling defeated.

00:09:39.000 It's feeling not fired up.

00:09:41.000 And they think we are going to get killed unless we boost our base turnout.

00:09:45.000 How do we do that?

00:09:46.000 We have to make them think like the Holocaust is about to happen. 0.94

00:09:51.000 Can you imagine your child being lost alone in the woods for nine days?

00:09:55.000 The new movie Lost on a Mountain in Maine, produced by Sylvester Stallone, is the inspiring true story of 12-year-old Don Fenler, separated from his family in a fast-moving storm and lost in the remote wilderness of northern Maine.

00:10:09.000 For nine days, he fights to stay alive with no food or proper clothing.

00:10:12.000 He didn't even know the danger he was in.

00:10:14.000 By the way, as a parent, this would be just our worst nightmare.

00:10:16.000 Don's disappearance captured national headlines, sparking a massive search and rescue effort with hundreds of volunteers, including his own father, who was afraid he'd never see his son again.

00:10:26.000 Don't miss the inspirational family adventure film of the year, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, from Blue Fox Entertainment, coming to theaters nationwide on November 1st.

00:10:33.000 Get tickets online at lostonamountaininmainemovie.com.

00:10:37.000 That is lostonamountaininmainemovie.com.

00:10:41.000 I just want to read this one email from Larry.

00:10:44.000 By the way, we're getting thousands of these emails, and I think I at least have a thousand in Arizona alone, which means that Who knows how many thousands of new votes there are?

00:10:53.000 Charlie, I just got my daughter, who is 40 years old, to vote for the first time, and my 19-year-old grandson in Arizona, MAGA strong.

00:11:01.000 So I want to just highlight this email before we go more into Kamala Harris's CNN thing.

00:11:05.000 That's two new voters that were not in 2020 where we had the highest turnout ever.

00:11:11.000 Think about that.

00:11:12.000 And how were we able to reach that?

00:11:14.000 Was it through TV ads?

00:11:16.000 No, no, no, no.

00:11:17.000 Relationships.

00:11:18.000 Larry has a relationship with his 40-year-old daughter who's never voted before and his 90-year-old grandson.

00:11:24.000 And Larry kind of maybe, I don't know, pulled rank a little bit.

00:11:26.000 Like, I'm the granddad.

00:11:28.000 I'm the dad.

00:11:29.000 Let's go.

00:11:30.000 And he probably did it very lovingly.

00:11:31.000 And he says, thanks so much.

00:11:32.000 It means a lot we are Christians, too.

00:11:34.000 Larry, you're a great American.

00:11:36.000 Everybody, if you just do that and find the new voters, not the MAGA flag-waving neighbor that goes at every rally.

00:11:43.000 They're high, high prop.

00:11:45.000 The new voter.

00:11:46.000 That is what breaks the matrix.

00:11:48.000 It shakes it to its core.

00:11:50.000 And it makes it too big to rig.

00:11:52.000 Okay, Blake, let's do this as a speed round.

00:11:55.000 Can you just, Blake, go through clip after clip after clip of what happened here?

00:11:59.000 It's so noteworthy.

00:12:00.000 And Blake, is it a hyperbole to say this is one of the worst interviews you've ever seen?

00:12:04.000 It was bad, Charlie.

00:12:27.000 You know, okay, Kamala's been doing this for three months now. 1.00

00:12:30.000 Why can't she get it together?

00:12:32.000 And they're really...

00:12:34.000 It's like depression is setting in.

00:12:36.000 You know, it's like...

00:12:39.000 Man, even if she were to win, how would they deal with four years of this?

00:12:43.000 Because she's never going to get better.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, let's play some of it.

00:12:48.000 In the interest of time, let's play 83.

00:12:51.000 83 is one of my favorites.

00:12:52.000 What are your weaknesses?

00:12:53.000 Her weakness is having a team of smart people. 1.00

00:12:56.000 I mean, it's just such a bad...

00:12:58.000 Again, Kamala, all you have to say, my weakness is I work too hard.

00:13:01.000 End of story.

00:13:01.000 Done.

00:13:02.000 Great.

00:13:03.000 My weakness is I push myself too hard.

00:13:05.000 Done, great, fine.

00:13:06.000 Everyone's like, wow, your weakness actually could be your strength, but it's a weakness.

00:13:09.000 This is 101 if you're running for office, okay?

00:13:12.000 By the way, Anderson Cooper asks you the most basic questions imaginable.

00:13:16.000 Playcut 83.

00:13:17.000 What weaknesses do you bring to the table, and how do you plan to overcome them while you're in office?

00:13:23.000 That's a great question, Joe.

00:13:25.000 Well, I am certainly not perfect, so let's start there.

00:13:29.000 And I think that...

00:13:34.000 Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's a strength, is I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision-making process different perspectives.

00:13:51.000 My team will tell you, I am constantly saying, let's kick the tire on that.

00:13:56.000 Let's kick the tires on it. 1.00

00:13:58.000 I mean, Blake, this is, just to be clear, at Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA and the Charlie Kirk Show combined, we employ 1,500 full-time people.

00:14:08.000 Now, that number will go down after the election because a lot of those are ballot chasers.

00:14:11.000 In every interview, we ask, what would you say is your greatest weakness?

00:14:15.000 Blake, is that not like 101 college grad onboarding interview that you would ask?

00:14:21.000 Yeah, it's kind of an annoying question, to be honest.

00:14:25.000 Like, it is very much a, you know, you see it a lot, and it's always, as you know, like, you have to give this answer, like, I just, I work so hard, and I push myself to it.

00:14:33.000 You end up giving these sort of, like, fake answers to it, but...

00:14:38.000 But, you know, at least Kamala could have learned that.

00:14:40.000 You're going to a town hall.

00:14:42.000 You're going to possibly hear a question like that.

00:14:44.000 And that's what's so funny about it is she's been at this for three months.

00:14:48.000 And the questions you know you're going to get, you know you're going to get asked, how are you different from Biden?

00:14:53.000 They've asked her this at every single one of her interviews, at every single debate.

00:14:58.000 And she still isn't, she doesn't have a good answer for it, which is why they're going to keep asking.

00:15:03.000 It's so bad that Michael Scott had a better answer to this question in the office.

00:15:08.000 I don't think we have time to play it.

00:15:09.000 It's unreal how botched this was.

00:15:14.000 And I think you're really seeing...

00:15:16.000 She is completely unprepared.

00:15:19.000 of go into the media a bunch she was hiding from the media we all ridiculed her for it they said we said she's not ready and I don't know if they knew they were going downhill so they were like we need to change strategies even if it's unlikely or if they just cracked if they finally snapped and said we'll show you we'll show that Kamala can do media and it's been about two weeks of the sudden Kamala media blitz and it's mostly been really embarrassing for her and

00:15:46.000 And I think, you know, if we're fortunate and we win, we're going to see this remembered as a huge strategic misplay.

00:15:55.000 So our team's been using this app.

00:15:57.000 And again, I'm careful with these betting markets, but this is the one you guys got to look at.

00:16:00.000 It's called Kalshi.

00:16:01.000 K-A-L-S-H-I. It's the first legal exchange where you can trade and bet on any event.

00:16:07.000 For the first time in 100 years, they got approval to list markets to trade on the outcome of the upcoming election, making it legal to trade on the U.S. presidential election and see who's going to win, Trump or Kamala.

00:16:16.000 They have markets on who will win each election, who will win swing states.

00:16:19.000 They also have markets on inflation, interest rates, will the government shutdown, and more.

00:16:22.000 What's really cool about this platform is you can trade on your opinions to make money or hedge risks that may impact you.

00:16:27.000 Go to calshi.com slash kirk.

00:16:31.000 Additionally, you can check market odds, which come from thousands of people trading.

00:16:34.000 These odds can be highly predictive, which is why these markets are referred to as prediction markets.

00:16:38.000 Go to kalshi.com slash kirk.

00:16:41.000 That is kalshi.com slash kirk.

00:16:45.000 So, Blake, let's play Dana Bash, but I just want to take a step back here.

00:16:48.000 This is one of the few things that was on Kamala's schedule and her inability to dialogue with not even critical questions, but just neutral job interview questions.

00:16:58.000 This is this CNN town hall is transparently disqualifying for her to ever assume The office of the President of the United States. 1.00

00:17:09.000 Yeah, well, she literally went off, she kind of went off the campaign trail for about two days.

00:17:15.000 She had, you know, I think it was maybe not two full days, but there was a period of a couple days where she had not many campaign events.

00:17:22.000 She went to Pennsylvania, and it seemed the focus was, and she also, I think, went to D.C. to have meetings with staff.

00:17:28.000 staff so she basically had two days of private meetings not doing a lot about their campaigning and it proceeded this town hall as well as I think she did some interviews on maybe it was telemundo or one of the Spanish channels so she was doing a series of these interviews and she had time to prep for this she had time for her staff to get her ready for the questions that she would hear and it appears that instead they were just deciding okay we're gonna call Trump a fascist 0.85

00:17:56.000 Here's eight different ways to call Trump a fascist.

00:17:59.000 Maybe say Hitler sometimes, too.

00:18:01.000 And you're like, that was their plan?

00:18:04.000 They think this is how you close the deal on an election?

00:18:09.000 It just, it does feel, it genuinely feels to me like they're panicking, because really, when you're in the final ten days, it's not good if you're doing the Hitler freak-out, because that's only, we've been hearing this for a decade, that's only going to motivate your die-hard base fans.

00:18:28.000 Genuine, TDS, Trump derangement voters.

00:18:31.000 And those people should have voted already.

00:18:34.000 They should be in the bag.

00:18:35.000 And if they're not, Kamala has huge issues because it's not like, well, she's now abandoned trying to appeal to the middle. 1.00

00:18:42.000 So what is the electoral coalition she's trying to build here? 1.00

00:18:46.000 Yeah, and it's just, is she trying to win over like more Raytheon lobbyists or something? 0.85

00:18:50.000 I mean, this is such a, the Trump is Hitler nonsense.

00:18:54.000 She's going to try to make her closing argument from the national law. 0.99

00:18:58.000 Let's play Dana Bash from CNN. Play Cut 97. 0.58

00:19:02.000 I'll just tell you what I'm hearing from people who I've been talking to, and that is that if her goal was to close the deal, They're not sure she did that.

00:19:15.000 And, you know, some people have asked, is she being held to a different standard?

00:19:19.000 Maybe.

00:19:20.000 But that's maybe the world that she's living in.

00:19:23.000 And on the question of who she is, people are understanding that a little bit more.

00:19:28.000 But what she will do, the question about her legislative priorities, name one.

00:19:33.000 There wasn't one.

00:19:35.000 You know, some more of her personality and her sort of character questions about your weaknesses or what mistakes did you make?

00:19:44.000 Not necessarily the answers there.

00:19:47.000 That's just, name one.

00:19:49.000 There wasn't one.

00:19:51.000 It, like, that's just, you know, when you're, it's coming from Dana Bash, that is a damning statement.

00:19:57.000 It's one thing, yeah, oh, she didn't close the deal. 1.00

00:20:00.000 Okay, it's one thing if you're hearing that from, you know, a Republican analyst who's there to be polite.

00:20:05.000 When Dana Bash is saying, you didn't close the deal and you couldn't answer the basic question of what's your policy identity...

00:20:12.000 That is, she's saying it was a dumpster fire.

00:20:16.000 There's a line, a guy on Twitter, a disgraced propagandist, he was saying, Dana Bash saying she didn't close the deal was actually Dana speaking directly to Kamala.

00:20:26.000 She was saying, hey, we told you what to do, but you didn't do it.

00:20:31.000 Basically throwing up her hands in anger because really, what else could she do?

00:20:37.000 And another one, I've never seen a politician less prepared than Kamala in tonight's friendly CNN town hall.

00:20:49.000 She didn't just evade uncomfortable questions, she evaded all the questions.

00:20:54.000 They teed her up over and over to answer, how are you different?

00:20:57.000 And she failed time and time again.

00:21:00.000 She didn't do the homework.

00:21:03.000 And that's the craziest thing.

00:21:04.000 She took time off to prep for this interview.

00:21:07.000 And then she just wasn't ready.

00:21:10.000 She repeatedly came off as someone who was not ready for what was being thrown at her.

00:21:15.000 And this is another great one.

00:21:16.000 This clip, this clip has been seen over seven, almost seven and a half million times on X.

00:21:23.000 And it's her trying to talk about securing the border.

00:21:26.000 And Anderson Cooper points out, wait, are you against or in favor of securing the border?

00:21:30.000 We can't figure it out.

00:21:31.000 Let's play 106. 1.00

00:21:33.000 Is a border wall stupid? 1.00

00:21:34.000 Well, let's talk about Donald Trump and that border wall. 1.00

00:21:38.000 So remember, Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it?

00:21:43.000 Come on.

00:21:43.000 They didn't.

00:21:45.000 How much of that wall did he build?

00:21:47.000 I think the last number I saw was about 2%.

00:21:49.000 And then when it came time for him to do a photo op, you know where he did it?

00:21:53.000 In the part of the wall that President Obama built.

00:21:55.000 But you're agreeing to a bill that would earmark $650 million to continue building that wall.

00:22:01.000 I pledge that I'm going to bring forward that bipartisan bill.

00:22:05.000 To further strengthen and secure our border.

00:22:09.000 Yes, I am.

00:22:10.000 And I'm going to work across the aisle to pass a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system. 0.80

00:22:19.000 I think Jackson's question, part of it was to acknowledge that America has always had migration, but there needs to be a legal process for it.

00:22:31.000 People have to earn it.

00:22:32.000 And that's the point that I think is the most important point that can be made, which is we need a president who is grounded in common sense and practical outcomes.

00:22:43.000 Like, let's just fix this thing.

00:22:45.000 Let's just fix it.

00:22:46.000 Why is there any ideological perspective on it?

00:22:49.000 Let's just fix the problem.

00:22:51.000 To fix the problem, you're doing this compromise bill.

00:22:54.000 It does call for $650 million that was earmarked under Trump to actually still go to build the wall.

00:23:00.000 I'm not afraid of good ideas where they occur. 0.99

00:23:02.000 You don't think it's stupid anymore? 0.91

00:23:04.000 I think what he did and how he did it did not make much sense because he actually didn't do much of anything. 0.98

00:23:11.000 I just talked about that wall, right?

00:23:13.000 We just talked about it.

00:23:14.000 He didn't actually do much of anything.

00:23:16.000 But you do want to build some wall.

00:23:19.000 I want to strengthen our border.

00:23:22.000 It's so jarring to say that.

00:23:24.000 It's like she's constantly switching modes.

00:23:26.000 So she starts off, I'm going to make fun. 1.00

00:23:28.000 Hey, Trump is so stupid. 1.00

00:23:30.000 He thought of his dumb wall. 1.00

00:23:31.000 Let's make fun of it. 0.99

00:23:32.000 And then Anderson butts in, well, don't you support a wall now?

00:23:37.000 And she dials back, well, we want to do what works.

00:23:40.000 Let's just get it done.

00:23:41.000 This is not ideological.

00:23:43.000 Let's just fix it.

00:23:44.000 So you do support a border wall?

00:23:46.000 I support good ideas wherever they come from. 0.98

00:23:49.000 But didn't you say it was a dumb idea? 0.96

00:23:52.000 It's... 0.96

00:23:55.000 As you said, we had to see the whole thing because it's really bizarre to see the way that she sways around when under attack here. 1.00

00:24:03.000 And it's so telling.

00:24:04.000 You remember that town hall Trump did also on CNN a year ago?

00:24:08.000 It was Caitlin Collins.

00:24:09.000 It's such the opposite of Trump.

00:24:11.000 It's totally.

00:24:12.000 We've never had two different...

00:24:13.000 I mean, Trump could not be more blunt or precise or just straightforward with his answers.

00:24:18.000 And she couldn't be more dodgy or... 0.73

00:24:21.000 Opaque.

00:24:21.000 Yeah, I remember Caitlin Collins.

00:24:23.000 I think that was the first time I remember seeing them.

00:24:25.000 It was really their first pass on really going hard at Trump on the Roe v.

00:24:30.000 Wade abortion question, and they're trying to get him off, and he's just saying like, nope, nope, we did a great thing.

00:24:35.000 We got rid of Roe.

00:24:36.000 It was terrible.

00:24:37.000 Every judge said it was awful.

00:24:39.000 Every legal expert said it was terrible.

00:24:41.000 It's a state thing now.

00:24:42.000 We're leaving it to the states.

00:24:43.000 it's great and they kept trying to get him off that and it's a tough issue we've acknowledged it it's an issue that is still difficult for him and but he would just he had his line he stuck to it he could state it succinctly and he's i think managed to really uh stay stable on that issue that they've tried to really damage him on and And you just compare this to Kamala, who is like...

00:25:07.000 She's a reed blowing in the wind.

00:25:09.000 She can't figure... 0.99

00:25:10.000 She doesn't know what she believes.

00:25:12.000 Everything she's saying, it's like she needs to just repeat what other people have told her.

00:25:16.000 And she doesn't always remember how it goes.

00:25:18.000 And she can't easily square the contradictions between what she says now and what she said in the past.

00:25:24.000 And so she just looks like a mess. 0.99

00:25:26.000 She is not a prepared person.

00:25:28.000 She doesn't understand the issues, so she can't talk about the issues off the cuff.

00:25:34.000 All she can do is canned statements, and if anything throws off the canned statement, it's a total meltdown. 0.96

00:25:41.000 That is well said.

00:25:42.000 All right, let's play more.

00:25:43.000 By the way, there's more tape here of just...

00:25:45.000 We have not even played, I don't think, unless my memory is drawing.

00:25:48.000 He asked her, what would you do differently?

00:25:51.000 Anderson Cooper asked a very simple question.

00:25:54.000 What would you do different?

00:25:55.000 Playcut 86.

00:25:56.000 Considering you've been in the position of vice president for the past four years under the Biden administration, how can we expect you to deviate from the direction of that administration compared to your own?

00:26:07.000 My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration.

00:26:10.000 I bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience.

00:26:16.000 I represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues and believe that we have to actually take new approaches.

00:26:25.000 And remember, Charlie, we're leaving out.

00:26:27.000 We can't even play the clips where she gets a question and rambles for five minutes, seven minutes without answering it.

00:26:33.000 That happened.

00:26:34.000 We don't have the time to play a seven-minute uninterrupted clip where it's just not answering the question that was asked.

00:26:42.000 It is an all-time bad interview.

00:26:48.000 Obviously, I want us to win because I want Trump to be president.

00:26:51.000 I want a Republican presidency.

00:26:53.000 But I also want us to win because that is how we're going to get the tell-all memoirs and recriminations where all these Democrats are going to come out and they're going to say, how did this happen?

00:27:04.000 How did this huge blunder of an interview happen?

00:27:06.000 And we're going to get those oral histories where someone says, like, Oh, I saw that clip, and then I buried my face in my hands, and I realized it was all over, and then I went into the bathroom and took a Xanax and puked in the toilet.

00:27:19.000 We're gonna get fun memoirs like that, and I really want to read them, which is why everyone needs to get their ballots in so that we win in two weeks.

00:27:27.000 Yes.

00:27:28.000 Look, I feel the momentum, everyone.

00:27:30.000 It is not over.

00:27:31.000 We must sustain the surge, and out of that, victory will emerge.

00:27:35.000 And I'm telling you, every day we are seeing new voters.

00:27:39.000 I'm getting thousands of new emails right now of people that are voting early and getting their friends to go vote early.

00:27:47.000 And so it doesn't matter where you live.

00:27:49.000 Doesn't matter the excuse.

00:27:50.000 Find new voters.

00:27:52.000 Christopher just emailed us.

00:27:53.000 Charlie, I'm a full-time student.

00:27:55.000 I don't specifically have a lot of time on my hands, but I got five new people to come out and to vote for Trump.

00:28:00.000 It's amazing.

00:28:03.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:03.000 R-U-F-F-Greens dot com slash Kirk.

00:29:04.000 I want to celebrate a pretty remarkable story here and just walk through some of the objections because I get them.

00:29:14.000 History was made yesterday in North Carolina.

00:29:17.000 Did you hear this?

00:29:18.000 For the first time since the inception of early voting, this is worth a tweet, Andrew.

00:29:24.000 Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats in casting ballots early, not just incrementally, but by more than 3,000 ballots.

00:29:32.000 This is unprecedented and does not include more than 600,000 unaffiliated voters who also participate in early voting and tend to go center right.

00:29:40.000 Now, everyone, this is very important.

00:29:42.000 Some people say, but Charlie, I'm worrying that we're decreasing our Election Day powder.

00:29:46.000 Wait, hold on.

00:29:46.000 So what?

00:29:47.000 These are people that you don't have to worry about showing up on Election Day because they've already banked their vote.

00:29:52.000 You don't have to worry about if they get COVID, they get sick, there's a hurricane or a terrorist attack.

00:29:55.000 They're in the system.

00:29:56.000 So you should celebrate that.

00:29:58.000 The moment when you vote does not matter.

00:30:01.000 You don't get extra points for voting on Election Day.

00:30:03.000 The order in which you count the ballots does not matter.

00:30:07.000 It just matters whether or not you vote.

00:30:09.000 And here's the other kicker.

00:30:10.000 It's not that we're just reorganizing Election Day voters for early voters.

00:30:16.000 That's actually not the case.

00:30:17.000 Of course, there's a little bit of that happening.

00:30:19.000 But these are net new voters.

00:30:21.000 When you allow early voting to occur, What you're doing, and you're celebrating it, is you're increasing the amount of days that lower likely voters can participate in the election.

00:30:33.000 And it allows your get out the vote to be far more efficient.

00:30:37.000 It allows your get out the vote operation to be far more precise.

00:30:41.000 And Democrats are freaking out about this.

00:30:43.000 And I honestly think we will actually still have an election day surge.

00:30:46.000 I think we're still going to have a surge.

00:30:48.000 Why?

00:30:48.000 Because now we can narrow our universe and say, oh, these 600,000 people already voted.

00:30:53.000 These 800,000 people already voted.

00:30:54.000 Now we can really focus on text messages, calls, postcards, and get out the vote for that smaller universe.

00:31:00.000 Okay, Blake continues this.

00:31:02.000 Blake, there's even more tape to play, isn't there?

00:31:04.000 There's a bit, but I actually want to quote this first.

00:31:07.000 We've had Mark Halpern on this show.

00:31:09.000 We've followed him a lot this cycle.

00:31:10.000 He's gotten a lot of good reporting.

00:31:11.000 He's been ahead of the curve on I'm just reading the quote though.

00:31:28.000 And he says, I think the biggest story of the news cycle is, along with the Trump loves Hitler thing, is her performance last night.

00:31:50.000 And he said, I want to highlight this.

00:31:52.000 It was the last straw for a lot of Democrats.

00:31:58.000 And that is...

00:31:59.000 That's remarkable to hear.

00:32:02.000 The last straw.

00:32:03.000 I imagine the people he's referring to are still going to vote for Kamala.

00:32:07.000 So it's not that...

00:32:07.000 He's not talking about people who are flipping to Trump.

00:32:10.000 I think what he's saying is Democrats, it's really sunk in for them that Kamala... 0.85

00:32:17.000 is a bad candidate and a bad politician and for that matter it sunk in that as a result she'll be a bad president like this is not a person they can look to to lead the party she's going to be this weird empty suit that they're trying to install in the White House and that's pretty jarring when they're already coming off of a guy so old they have to manage everything he does they'll have to go to someone who's so unprepared so let's be honest kind of dumb That she can't handle the burden of the presidency. 1.00

00:32:47.000 And I just think that's a remarkable thing to hear from a pretty neutral reporter, as we know Mark is.

00:32:55.000 If we want to play some more tape, how about we just play number 81?

00:33:00.000 This is another basic question that she should be able to answer.

00:33:03.000 Clip 81.

00:33:05.000 So what you're saying is anyone under $400,000 won't have taxes raised, or are you saying that anyone above $400,000 will have a tax raise?

00:33:13.000 I'm saying that there is going to be a parity around what the richest people pay in terms of their taxes.

00:33:21.000 Right now, Anderson, you know, it is well documented that some of the richest people in our country have gotten away with a zero tax rate.

00:33:29.000 But if you're earning $500,000, $600,000, $700,000 under your plan, there's a good chance your taxes will go up.

00:33:35.000 We can't have this conversation without knowing that it's a very complicated situation, right?

00:33:40.000 It's a complicated situation.

00:33:45.000 It's my Kamala impression.

00:33:46.000 She is not intellectually capable of running for president.

00:33:49.000 I want to just close on this.

00:33:51.000 She got worse since convention.

00:33:53.000 She had her little shtick going for a while. 0.82

00:33:55.000 She had her little kind of like, I'm the candidate and we're going to protect Roe.

00:33:59.000 As she has had to face the music and do interviews, her lack of capacity to answer basic questions.

00:34:07.000 And it would have helped if she would have actually had a job. 0.90

00:34:09.000 Hey, Kamala, if you actually would have worked at McDonald's, you would have been able to answer the question, what is your greatest weakness?

00:34:15.000 Because I believe that is a question that everybody gets asked at every job interview.

00:34:19.000 But it's very clear you've never been asked that question before.

00:34:22.000 Blake, thank you so much for helping.

00:34:23.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:34:25.000 Subscribe to our podcast.

00:34:26.000 She has failed as vice president.
