00:01:27.000 It is a beautiful Monday here in Atlanta, Georgia.

00:01:31.000 We are in Atlanta here to continue our blitz, the surge that we are focused on to get people to vote early.

00:01:39.000 Voter registration is done in Georgia and to spread the word that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States.

00:01:45.000 And then tonight I will be in North Carolina with Vivek Ramaswamy for a sold out event at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

00:01:53.000 So we have an amazing night planned for you.

00:01:56.000 Tomorrow, I'll be on campus at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

00:02:01.000 And we're just going to continue the fight.

00:02:04.000 Wednesday, we're hosting the Mother of All Trump rallies.

00:02:07.000 We have President Donald Trump, of course, in Duluth, Georgia.

00:02:10.000 We also have Bobby Kennedy, Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, and more, not to mention, of course, we have Jason Aldean.

00:02:21.000 One of the biggest names in country music.

00:02:24.000 And then on Thursday, we are hosting President Donald Trump in Las Vegas, where Vivek Ramaswamy and I will recombine forces.

00:02:33.000 And we're just going to have a great time this week in Las Vegas on Thursday.

00:02:37.000 So that is this week.

00:02:39.000 I want to begin by, of course, summarizing some of the early voting surge and then connecting an amazing, let's just say man-on-the-street, everyday American-type interaction that Donald Trump had at the Golden Arches.

00:02:54.000 Everybody, you need to make a plan to vote.

00:02:57.000 Right now, the enthusiasm of Republicans is outpacing Democrats.

00:03:01.000 Keep it up.

00:03:02.000 We are seeing in North Carolina, we're seeing in Georgia and Arizona a surge, but it is not going to be enough.

00:03:08.000 It is not going to be enough for us just to start strong and to sit at home.

00:03:14.000 You have to find one friend, two friends, three friends, five friends.

00:03:17.000 That is your individualized task right now.

00:03:22.000 You see, if we scale up our movement and force multiply yourself to find five more people, we're going to be in a good place.

00:03:29.000 In the state of Georgia, we have seen, where I am right now, we've seen an amazing surge right out of the gate.

00:03:36.000 Our movement can't wait.

00:03:38.000 After indictments, multiple impeachments, Donald Trump getting shot, they try to shoot him again.

00:03:44.000 Our movement is ready to run through the ticker tape, but it does us nothing if you just vote on one day and then You just sit at home the rest.

00:03:54.000 In Arizona, we're continuing to chase ballots, continuing to find low-propensity voters, people that otherwise would not vote.

00:04:01.000 So do your part.

00:04:03.000 Find another voter and make a plan to vote today and email me your success stories Of voting, getting friends to vote, getting out early, and what you are seeing and what you are hearing, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:04:20.000 Yesterday, President Donald Trump showed exactly why he is so popular.

00:04:26.000 Any other candidate out there, Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, if they would have done what Donald Trump did yesterday, it would have come across as rather cringe, to be perfectly honest.

00:04:36.000 It would have been like, I don't know about that.

00:04:38.000 It was so...

00:04:42.000 Beautifully tailored.

00:04:43.000 That it almost looked like artificial intelligence.

00:04:46.000 It looked as if it was fake.

00:04:47.000 Donald Trump yesterday went back to a restaurant that he knows quite well.

00:04:51.000 Which I think the hilarity of all this, by the way, you just have to enjoy the irony.

00:04:55.000 Donald Trump has Bobby Kennedy joining his campaign to try to get rid of seed oils.

00:04:59.000 And then Donald Trump just goes right into McDonald's.

00:05:02.000 I mean, you have to embrace the contradiction at some point.

00:05:05.000 The tension, if you will.

00:05:07.000 So President Donald Trump has always loved McDonald's.

00:05:10.000 And you know one in eight Americans have worked at McDonald's?

00:05:12.000 One in eight Americans?

00:05:14.000 It's a good way to reach a lot of Americans.

00:05:16.000 And so Donald Trump shows up to this McDonald's to literally go work at McDonald's.

00:05:21.000 Now let's first talk about what prompted this.

00:05:24.000 Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonald's.

00:05:27.000 She never worked at McDonald's.

00:05:28.000 She said she did.

00:05:29.000 In fact, they were running ads saying that she worked at McDonald's for quite some time in the state of Arizona.

00:05:33.000 It's completely fake.

00:05:34.000 It's totally a lie.

00:05:36.000 In fact, the one question I wish Brett Baer would have asked would have been, Madam Vice President, thank you so much for sitting down today.

00:05:42.000 Which McDonald's did you work at?

00:05:44.000 Would have been just like a perfect follow-up question.

00:05:47.000 I follow up to the perfect beginning question.

00:05:49.000 So President Trump shows up at McDonald's.

00:05:51.000 You gotta show some of these images here.

00:05:52.000 And he works the fryer.

00:05:54.000 President Donald Trump just talks to random people in the drive-thru lane, giving them their food.

00:06:02.000 In fact, look at some of these everyday interactions here.

00:06:05.000 This is a woman who fled socialist Brazil.

00:06:09.000 Do not let the United States become Brazil. 0.65

00:06:12.000 Let's play cut two.

00:06:14.000 A lot of fun here, everybody.

00:06:16.000 Look at all the fake news over there.

00:06:19.000 Hello, everybody.

00:06:21.000 You can fake this, right?

00:06:22.000 And you know, this is compliments of Trump, okay?

00:06:24.000 Yes, thank you.

00:06:25.000 Mr.

00:06:26.000 President, please don't let the United States become Brazil, my native Brazil.

00:06:30.000 We'll keep it good.

00:06:31.000 Please, please.

00:06:32.000 We're going to make it better than ever, okay?

00:06:33.000 Thank you.

00:06:34.000 Thank you.

00:06:35.000 It's a pleasure, Mr.

00:06:36.000 President.

00:06:36.000 Compliments of Trump.

00:06:37.000 Yes.

00:06:37.000 Thank you so much.

00:06:38.000 Thank you so much.

00:06:38.000 Thank you over there.

00:06:41.000 Have a great week.

00:06:42.000 Have a good time.

00:06:42.000 Thank you.

00:06:43.000 Bye, Doug.

00:06:44.000 Thank you.

00:06:45.000 You just got, first of all, he is so good in these environments.

00:06:50.000 And I've said all along that Donald Trump 2.0 needs to be more micro interactions and less rallies.

00:06:56.000 I'm so thrilled to see this.

00:06:58.000 And by the way, he should keep this going.

00:07:00.000 You should try to think of what micro interactions can Donald Trump do from now to the election.

00:07:05.000 Reading kids books, maybe at a kindergarten class, you know, helping people at the self-serve machine and Dairy Queen.

00:07:13.000 You got to think of other ideas like this because it was perfect.

00:07:17.000 It was spectacular.

00:07:18.000 And this is your president.

00:07:20.000 Your president is the guy that can fill up an arena with 30,000 people who can negotiate deals with Xi Jinping.

00:07:27.000 And he was objectively funny in how he was handling this.

00:07:31.000 All right.

00:07:32.000 And deep down, I think Donald Trump always wanted to do this.

00:07:36.000 I think deep down Donald Trump always wanted to see how the sausage was made.

00:07:39.000 I think deep down Donald Trump always wanted to salt those fries himself.

00:07:42.000 Let's play cut four of Donald Trump in one of his favorite places, McDonald's.

00:07:47.000 Play cut four.

00:07:48.000 I'm gonna help you with the bag.

00:07:49.000 JoJo, you're an expert at this, right?

00:07:53.000 Okay, President Trump, so for our first order that's going out the window, we're gonna need three medium fries.

00:07:59.000 So would you like to put the medium fries in the bag?

00:08:01.000 I think so, yeah.

00:08:02.000 So we'll do that.

00:08:03.000 All right, we're gonna put three, so we're gonna start from the inside.

00:08:04.000 Because you know who's taking these, right?

00:08:05.000 Mine.

00:08:06.000 Do they ever ask for more salt?

00:08:09.000 Supposing we want some extra salt.

00:08:10.000 Can we just go like that?

00:08:12.000 We will give them salt packets.

00:08:13.000 Watch this, doctor.

00:08:16.000 I love salt.

00:08:18.000 Wait a minute.

00:08:18.000 I spilled some.

00:08:20.000 I'm very superstitious.

00:08:23.000 Now it's over the left shoulder.

00:08:24.000 Now I'm okay.

00:08:25.000 Let's go.

00:08:26.000 By the way, if you don't know, in the world of superstition, if you spill salt, you're supposed to throw it over your left shoulder.

00:08:33.000 I actually was raised to do that, believe it or not.

00:08:35.000 I knew that.

00:08:36.000 Yeah, it's really funny.

00:08:37.000 Anytime you spill the salt shaker, you just kind of throw it over your left.

00:08:40.000 What I love is, do you ask for more salt?

00:08:42.000 Oh, we give them salt packets, sir.

00:08:43.000 Okay, let's put more salt on the fry.

00:08:46.000 Donald Trump continues at his legendary stop to McDonald's play cut three.

00:08:52.000 Mr.

00:08:52.000 President, you actually have worked at McDonald's now versus- Now I have worked at McDonald's.

00:08:56.000 I've now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala. 0.82

00:08:59.000 Are you gonna put this on your resume?

00:09:01.000 I never worked here.

00:09:02.000 Why would she lie about something like that?

00:09:05.000 What have been put on your resume?

00:09:06.000 I worked at McDonald's.

00:09:08.000 Why would she lie about that?

00:09:10.000 Because she's lying Kamala, that's why. 1.00

00:09:12.000 I just love how he's doing a press conference through the drive-in window wearing the McDonald's apron.

00:09:18.000 The McDonald's thing was truly amazing.

00:09:20.000 Classic case of Donald Trump being an exceptional politician.

00:09:23.000 Probably any other person doing this would have been super cringe.

00:09:26.000 But with Trump, it's just incredible.

00:09:28.000 Because he spent his entire lifetime being his brand.

00:09:31.000 So this particular imagery is incredibly funny and viral.

00:09:35.000 Imagine if Trump had done this during the primary.

00:09:37.000 DeSantis would have tried to do a shift at Wendy's or something. 1.00

00:09:40.000 And it just would have been really sad.

00:09:43.000 I think this will go down as one of the most legendary pictures in political history.

00:09:48.000 That's as good as it gets with his cufflinks on too.

00:09:51.000 The cufflinks is what kills me.

00:09:53.000 And you know what I love is he doesn't wear a t-shirt.

00:09:55.000 He says, you know, I'm just going to wear my famous white shirt and red tie.

00:10:01.000 Donald Trump broke the internet yesterday where Kamala Harris, I don't know where she was.

00:10:04.000 You cannot pay for that kind of advertisement of Donald Trump at McDonald's.

00:10:10.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:12.000 Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values.

00:11:14.000 Kamala Harris has never worked at a McDonald's, but you see, they try to make her seem as if she's this working class hero. 0.97

00:11:20.000 It's really fascinating watching football games and seeing the political advertisements that are being run.

00:11:28.000 Do you notice that they are not really playing the Donald Trump was a convicted felon, Donald Trump has been impeached card?

00:11:37.000 It's really interesting.

00:11:39.000 When you watch the advertisements, there is one political advertisement in particular that I don't even want to show on this airwaves because I don't want to give them free advertising, but it's by FFPAC. FFPAC must be ranking in Hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:11:54.000 And interestingly, FFPak, if you type it in, not a single New York Times article about FFPak.

00:11:59.000 Isn't that interesting, Andrew?

00:12:00.000 Not a single New York Times article.

00:12:02.000 Instead, you type in Turning Point.

00:12:04.000 We have nine different articles a week about the type of salsa that Tyler Boyer puts on his tacos.

00:12:11.000 Yeah, we have three inquiries just today.

00:12:13.000 But interestingly, Future Forward PAC, which reportedly did a $108 million ad spending blitz for Joe Biden during 2020, and now is doing hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:12:25.000 And they took money from Sam Bankman Freed.

00:12:29.000 Yet, for whatever reason, they don't get any articles written about them.

00:12:31.000 It's so strange how that works.

00:12:34.000 So FFPAC, Future Forward PAC, is running this ad.

00:12:39.000 And again, they have all the money in the world.

00:12:41.000 But what is the ad that they're running?

00:12:43.000 The ad that they're running is that Donald Trump is for billionaires.

00:12:48.000 Kamala Harris is for you, the middle class worker.

00:12:51.000 I mean, perfectly honest, I find this message to be fascinating.

00:12:54.000 It's fascinating because it goes to show that all of their other peripheral attacks, Donald Trump is a felon, Donald Trump is unstable, all this is not penetrating.

00:13:03.000 Instead, the one that is bothering them the most is that everyday Americans and everyday voters Are thinking about their pocketbook.

00:13:14.000 So they have this ridiculous advertisement of this guy who's watching his iPad saying, I'm not rich as hell and that's why I'm voting for Kamala Harris. 0.98

00:13:23.000 It's so banal and just silly. 0.82

00:13:26.000 But it's actually very encouraging for the framing of what we want this election to be.

00:13:32.000 And do you know what I have not heard for a while?

00:13:35.000 Has anybody, anybody, anybody seen an extended period of time Of them calling Donald Trump a threat to democracy?

00:13:45.000 That was their number one talking point back in the spring and the summer.

00:13:51.000 And it's not as if they don't believe it or whatever.

00:13:53.000 It's that it's not working.

00:13:55.000 Is that saying that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy is not working.

00:14:00.000 So instead they have to go straight to pocketbook issues.

00:14:03.000 And that goes to show the fact that that advertisement is coming back to us.

00:14:07.000 Is a mirror image of what the electorate is.

00:14:10.000 They've obviously poll tested it.

00:14:12.000 And realized that more people think about Democrats actually being a threat to democracy.

00:14:18.000 Interesting how that works.

00:14:19.000 And they are.

00:14:19.000 Let's put Donald Trump in prison.

00:14:21.000 Steve Bannon in prison.

00:14:22.000 Let's put Peter Navarro in prison.

00:14:23.000 Let's try to kick Donald Trump off the ballot.

00:14:25.000 Remember that?

00:14:26.000 Do you remember that?

00:14:27.000 Donald Trump they were trying to kick off the ballot?

00:14:29.000 So Democrats think that they're going to win based on four things.

00:14:35.000 A combination of four things, and this is from Mark Halperin.

00:14:38.000 They think that abortion is this hidden vote and this invisible vote that is currently underrepresented in the polls.

00:14:44.000 They might be right.

00:14:45.000 Democrats have overperformed every single election in the polling, both special elections and midterm elections, since the reversal of Roe versus Wade.

00:14:54.000 Number two, they're betting on their ground game.

00:14:57.000 They have thousands of full-time operatives and organizers on the ground.

00:15:00.000 Now, to number two, I will say this.

00:15:02.000 Their ground game has not been reflected in overwhelming early vote numbers yet.

00:15:08.000 So we will wait and see.

00:15:10.000 Number three, they think that women are going to vote in much bigger numbers than men, and that the women vote will actually overwhelm the system. 0.61

00:15:19.000 Now, interestingly, a poll this weekend showed that that is not necessarily true.

00:15:23.000 That yes, Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump with women, but she's actually only doing as well with women as Joe Biden did with women. 0.99

00:15:30.000 There's no extra female boost. 1.00

00:15:33.000 And finally, Democrats are counting on a Trump fatigue or a Trump ceiling.

00:15:39.000 That Donald Trump's movement can't possibly get any bigger.

00:15:42.000 That Donald Trump has plateaued.

00:15:44.000 That Donald Trump will hit a ceiling.

00:15:46.000 Now, this final one is fascinating because that is a core orthodoxy of the consultant class on the center left and the center right.

00:15:56.000 That there's always this belief that, okay, Donald Trump has this base, but Trump can't expand his base.

00:16:01.000 We see very little evidence of that, actually.

00:16:02.000 We see that Donald Trump's base is getting younger, getting more diverse, people that work at their hands, that it's not divided based on race, but instead it's divided based on class, that more people are supporting Trump than previously.

00:16:14.000 So those four things, Democrats need all four of them to go well, that a hidden abortion vote, a substantial ground game, that a women vote overwhelms the system, and that there's Trump fatigue and a sealant. 0.98

00:16:25.000 And we'll see what happens.

00:16:26.000 But that's a lot of different combination factors and a lot of inputs and a lot of star alignment in order for them to be successful.

00:16:37.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:38.000 Four years of crushing interest rates, runaway inflation, and reckless government spending.

00:16:42.000 And who's paying the price?

00:16:43.000 You.

00:16:43.000 You've got bills stacking up, debt collectors on your back, and you can barely put food on the table.

00:17:38.000 Joining us now is Terry Dietrich, an on-the-ground grassroots American patriot, chairman of the Waukesha GOP in a must-win state of Wisconsin.

00:17:47.000 Wisconsin is making Democrats very nervous right now.

00:17:49.000 Terry, welcome to the program.

00:17:51.000 Give us an update.

00:17:51.000 How are things going on the ground in Wisconsin?

00:17:53.000 Great to see you, Charlie.

00:17:54.000 Yeah, we are in full sprint.

00:17:56.000 We had J.D. Vance here just yesterday, and that was a fantastic event right out the airport here in Central Waukesha.

00:18:04.000 Fans are...

00:18:06.000 And our volunteers are fired up, ready to go.

00:18:09.000 As you know, we have to overperform here in Waukesha County.

00:18:13.000 And we've got a lot of groups in here, particularly Turning Point, who decided to put their statewide headquarters here in Waukesha County.

00:18:23.000 Thank you so much.

00:18:24.000 They've been a great help.

00:18:25.000 They're out doing their own thing, but they're doing a great job at going after all the low prop balloters and also doing super chases all over the county.

00:18:34.000 So they've done a great job along with a bunch of other folks.

00:18:36.000 So canvassing thousands and thousands of doors.

00:18:40.000 Citizens are excited, ready to go.

00:18:42.000 Early voting starts tomorrow.

00:18:44.000 So I would say we're in great shape here for the sprint.

00:18:48.000 We just got to execute and finish.

00:18:49.000 So I love that.

00:18:51.000 So Terry, walk our audience through, we have a little bit of time, of the wow counties.

00:18:55.000 What are the wow counties and why you need to do well in them?

00:19:00.000 And explain the breakdown of the state.

00:19:02.000 You have super red rurals, super blue downtown Milwaukee.

00:19:08.000 The wow counties can swing the entire state.

00:19:10.000 Educate our audience, please.

00:19:12.000 Right, yeah.

00:19:13.000 So we've got three, Wauw meaning Waukesha County, the biggest red voter block in the state, which huddles to the west of downtown Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, which is their big blue stronghold, along with Dane County.

00:19:28.000 And then just to the north is Ozaukee County, meaning the O, and Washington County to the northwest.

00:19:35.000 Between the three of those, the conventional wisdom is that if we perform well, we offset Milwaukee County's blue stronghold.

00:19:43.000 And then the rest of the state, which is primarily red, offsets Dane County, which is the fastest growing county in the state, unfortunately.

00:19:51.000 But the turning point guys and And their team up in Madison are doing a good job trying to lose by less up there and pick up a couple of points.

00:20:00.000 So that's where this comes down to is those wild counties have to overperform in order to pick up those extra votes.

00:20:06.000 And we're focused on, as we've all been talking about, the low propensity red voters.

00:20:11.000 Core vote's going to get out and vote.

00:20:12.000 They're ready to go here now.

00:20:15.000 Early voting starts tomorrow.

00:20:16.000 But we need an extra five to seven points here in Waukesha, just focusing on Waukesha and I think similar in the other two wild counties.

00:20:25.000 But we're a 62-38 county and we need to be a 67-70 county over the Dems here.

00:20:33.000 If we do that, we're literally pitching in 10,000 to 20,000 more votes.

00:20:37.000 The largest red block, our capability of doing that is there. 0.92

00:20:41.000 If we do that, Obviously could be the difference in the election because President Trump supposedly lost by 20,600 in 2020.

00:20:50.000 So it comes down to right here, under 100,000 votes for sure, probably under 50,000 votes, and it's right here for the Wow counties to be able to perform and pull it home.

00:21:01.000 I want everyone to understand and recognize that Wisconsin is the most difficult of the blue wall states to pinpoint and to pull.

00:21:08.000 It is notoriously difficult to pin down.

00:21:10.000 So people say, oh, Wisconsin, we're down two, down three.

00:21:13.000 Guys, you know what's amazing about Wisconsin back in 2020?

00:21:17.000 In 2020, it was the worst polling state for Donald Trump of the key battleground states.

00:21:23.000 In fact, one poll had Donald Trump down 11 points.

00:21:27.000 Do you remember that, Terry?

00:21:29.000 11 points right before the election.

00:21:30.000 It was the Friday before the election.

00:21:33.000 And then what ended up happening?

00:21:34.000 Terry, tell us about why Wisconsin is so difficult to poll.

00:21:38.000 Yeah, it's a state where if you look at the map, I mean, red and blue, the map is almost all red.

00:21:45.000 And so, you know, you've got the rural counties in the north, the Northwoods, which are not heavily populated, but very, very, you know, excited about President Trump.

00:21:53.000 The western portion, which tends to get more Minnesota media, which tends to be a bit more liberal in that spin, and the old union, railroad unions out to the west, which are always finicky in how they're going to vote.

00:22:06.000 And plus, we've got a congressional and senatorial races out there that are going to have an effect. 0.52

00:22:11.000 Then you get to Dane County, which is just a big mess in the middle of the state.

00:22:16.000 Universities, the University of Wisconsin's there, and then obviously you've got some satellites fairly close to there that always throw a wrench into this.

00:22:24.000 And you get to the southeast corner, Kenosha, Racine, down in Beloit, and those areas which are bordering, or pretty close to bordering Illinois, and you've got some kind of spillover there.

00:22:35.000 And then as you work your way up through the middle part of the state and the eastern part of the state, it tends to be very red in the Fox Valley area, we call it Appleton, and up to Green Bay with some pockets in there.

00:22:47.000 So there's just no, there's no real consistency in the state.

00:22:51.000 You You see each area is operating kind of on its own, and the performance of those can be so tweaky.

00:22:58.000 So what I've been telling the 72 red shares around the state is, look, guys, you may do really well in your red county, but you've got to do a little better. 0.91

00:23:07.000 You've got to get another 1% to 2%.

00:23:09.000 Even if it's the small counties, you're picking up 500 votes, 1,000 votes, etc.

00:23:14.000 It is that close.

00:23:16.000 And it's very, very difficult to predict how those little tweaky areas and those low props, which we really haven't focused on effectively in the past, and we are now, with Turning Point and some of the other third-party groups in the Republican Party of Wisconsin actually coming along and pushing hard, that's what's going to win this thing.

00:23:33.000 I mean, at the end of the day, Wisconsin is going to be 100,000 votes or less.

00:23:37.000 Likely deciding this, which at 3.2 million or so total votes, we're talking about under 1%.

00:23:45.000 And it's pretty consistent in every single election.

00:23:48.000 22, 20, 18, it's like that.

00:23:51.000 So we have to squeeze.

00:23:52.000 We have to push through the finish line.

00:23:55.000 Unfortunately, I wish we were more predictable, but we're not.

00:24:00.000 Very unpredictable.

00:24:00.000 That's a great summary, Terry.

00:24:02.000 I want to play this short piece of tape here, which ties into your Senate race.

00:24:05.000 But also, if all of you guys in the audience want hope and encouragement on the reason to go vote early and get more friends to vote, that we can win this thing.

00:24:12.000 Not that we will, but we can.

00:24:14.000 Is that we're seeing a pattern of Bob Casey, for example, and Sherrod Brown.

00:24:20.000 And Tammy Baldwin. 0.87

00:24:21.000 Suddenly, they're popping up with advertisements that show them with Donald Trump.

00:24:28.000 No, this is Tammy Baldwin with an advertisement showing that she's willing to go work with Donald Trump.

00:24:35.000 Guys, this is not what they want to do.

00:24:37.000 The base of the Democrat Party is screaming about this.

00:24:41.000 But this means that smart Senate Democrat operatives are terrified that something is coming, and they're starting to separate themselves from Kamala Harris.

00:24:51.000 This is incumbent Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin.

00:24:55.000 Play cut 11.

00:24:57.000 Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill.

00:25:00.000 And then she got President Biden to make it permanent.

00:25:03.000 I'm Tammy Baldwin.

00:25:04.000 I approve this message.

00:25:06.000 Terry, what does that tell you about Donald Trump's chances?

00:25:09.000 She's seeing something in Wisconsin.

00:25:12.000 Right.

00:25:13.000 I've been around a while.

00:25:15.000 And I've been through a lot of these elections.

00:25:16.000 And I can tell you, I feel momentum.

00:25:18.000 I feel the momentum changes.

00:25:20.000 I'm actually going to be going up to Wood County, which is way up north tomorrow, to speak to those folks.

00:25:25.000 And the bottom line is the wind is at our backs.

00:25:28.000 I'm telling you, I haven't seen the Democrats as active as they usually are with their ground game.

00:25:34.000 Not as aggressive.

00:25:36.000 Certainly not supporting Kamala.

00:25:37.000 It's very clear.

00:25:39.000 I mean, they can't hide it.

00:25:40.000 The bottom line is that people are not excited about her out here.

00:25:43.000 Even some of our Democrat friends that we've talked to, they didn't sign on for this big shift over to her.

00:25:51.000 She's undefined in this state, and I think there's just generally a malaise about her.

00:25:56.000 This last, I'd say, week, week and a half, we definitely feel momentum here.

00:26:01.000 Love to have J.D. here, because a lot of Wisconsin hasn't really met him and seen him yet.

00:26:06.000 just a different person than President Trump, but obviously echoing the same policies and initiatives and whatnot.

00:26:14.000 I think the wind is at our back and the Democrats are reeling a bit, trying to figure out how do they try to find that fringe in there and not look so radically left, which it is absolutely clear in this state, they are radical lefts.

00:26:28.000 This isn't the old Democratic Party.

00:26:30.000 And I think that's what's scaring a lot of Democrats and independents.

00:26:34.000 They're coming out as well and saying, we didn't sign on for this.

00:26:37.000 I love that.

00:26:38.000 Terry, I want to just summarize here.

00:26:40.000 Just tell us about Eric Hovde.

00:26:42.000 What is the state of his race?

00:26:44.000 Can he win?

00:26:46.000 It looks as if he is creeping up on Tammy Baldwin, which potentially could be a Senate flip.

00:26:51.000 One minute remaining.

00:26:51.000 Terry, tell us about Eric Hovde's race.

00:26:54.000 First of all, I'm going to tell you, and I've stated this openly many times, I have never seen, besides Ron Johnson, who's fantastic, I have never seen a candidate so well organized, just a good man who has, you know, obviously the Democrats are trying to, you know, Mr.

00:27:13.000 Guide people on him, but Eric is a fantastic candidate.

00:27:15.000 He's done a lot on digital, which I think is really going to help him, especially with the younger generations, the younger set in Wisconsin.

00:27:24.000 They're excited about him.

00:27:24.000 They like him.

00:27:26.000 He's connected with people.

00:27:27.000 He's extremely organized.

00:27:29.000 He's been everywhere, hardworking.

00:27:30.000 I really think that he can win this.

00:27:32.000 His numbers are going to And they are going to follow President Trump.

00:27:37.000 President Trump wins by a significant margin.

00:27:39.000 So does Eric Covney.

00:27:40.000 I don't anticipate there being any split between the two.

00:27:44.000 They're going to follow each other.

00:27:45.000 So we pray for President Trump and Vice President Candidate Vance.

00:27:50.000 They're doing a great job getting to the state.

00:27:52.000 Eric is right there with them all the way through.

00:27:54.000 He was at the Packer game yesterday.

00:27:56.000 He's everywhere and anywhere.

00:27:57.000 And I think he has a really good shot to just track with Trump and end up beating Tammy.

00:28:03.000 Terry, thank you so much for your work.

00:28:03.000 I love it.

00:28:05.000 We really appreciate the on-the-ground update in Wisconsin.

00:28:09.000 If we win Wisconsin, we're gonna be in a good spot.

00:28:12.000 Thank you so much.

00:28:13.000 God bless you.

00:28:14.000 Take care.

00:28:18.000 We're officially in that time of year where eating becomes way off-balanced.

00:28:22.000 Parties, holidays, and family gatherings always mean more snacks, more sweets, and generally indulging all the wrong foods.

00:28:28.000 As it gets darker, you just try to eat more.

00:28:30.000 You're not outside as much.

00:29:18.000 And look, there's lots of things that people can do to try to throw us off.

00:29:22.000 By the way, if I was a Democrat, if I was a Democrat, do you know what I would do?

00:29:26.000 I would plant a bunch of fake stories saying that your vote doesn't count.

00:29:31.000 If I was a Democrat, I would plant a bunch of fake stories saying that the Turks are... 0.64

00:29:37.000 Hacking our election system.

00:29:40.000 If I was a Democrat, I would say that the Russians are manipulating your voting data. 0.97

00:29:45.000 Don't take the bait.

00:29:46.000 Just keep the early voting surge going.

00:29:49.000 Ignore all of these stories, everybody.

00:29:51.000 You think about it.

00:29:52.000 If you were a Democrat or if you were a really bad actor and you see the early voting surge happening in Arizona, in Wisconsin, and you're seeing it happening in Georgia and North Carolina, If you're seeing that surge, what is the way that you could stop the surge?

00:30:08.000 You could stop the surge by sowing seeds of doubt and getting people to sit at home.

00:30:12.000 They're in panic mode.

00:30:14.000 So don't take any of that bait.

00:30:15.000 I guarantee you that there's going to be some of these people coming out.

00:30:19.000 Oh, well, Charlie, don't you know that our votes are getting zapped out to a satellite and that the North Koreans are able to hack our votes? 0.75

00:30:27.000 And then enough of that stuff.

00:30:28.000 Okay, enough.

00:30:30.000 We need to go chase ballots and drive turnout.

00:30:32.000 I don't have any...

00:30:34.000 I don't have any patience for that right now.

00:30:36.000 Because we're too busy trying to win this thing, not talk about how the Venezuelans are hacking our voting grid or whatever fiction they're trying to put forward. 0.97

00:30:46.000 Let's play Cut 14.

00:30:48.000 Look at this news.

00:30:50.000 This shows right here why the Democrats are nervous.

00:30:54.000 This shows right here why the Democrats are in panic mode.

00:30:58.000 You have to sustain the surge.

00:31:00.000 Find new voters.

00:31:01.000 Get first-time voters.

00:31:02.000 Get your kids.

00:31:04.000 And by the way, let me say the other thing.

00:31:05.000 Make sure your home is voting in harmony.

00:31:08.000 Make sure your wife is voting for Trump.

00:31:09.000 Make sure your husband is voting for Trump.

00:31:11.000 Make sure your kids are voting for Trump.

00:31:13.000 Your whole house has to vote as a unit.

00:31:15.000 Play Cut 14.

00:31:16.000 But based on the likely partisanship of the voters that we've seen so far, we're seeing more Republicans as a share of the electorate than Democrats.

00:31:24.000 Take a look at that.

00:31:25.000 Four years ago, less than a third, only 32% of people that had voted so far were Republicans.

00:31:30.000 That's up six points so far this cycle.

00:31:33.000 Now, that could be a sign of enthusiasm among Republicans.

00:31:35.000 It could be because Donald Trump is sometimes at least supporting early voting.

00:31:38.000 And it may be that these are voters that are going to vote anyway on Election Day.

00:31:41.000 But the bottom line is that people are voting and they are enthusiastic about this race.

00:31:45.000 In Pennsylvania, We've seen Republicans so far ahead of the 2020 pace.

00:31:49.000 Again, Democrats are still a larger share of early voters, but there are more Republicans in just about all of the states we've seen significant votes so far.

00:31:57.000 New Republican voter registration data in the last week absolutely crushed Democrat.

00:32:03.000 By the way, late Republican voter registration is a very good sign. 1.00

00:32:09.000 Elon Musk just put on X or Twitter, 27.7 thousand Republicans versus 12 thousand Democrats.

00:32:16.000 A near three times difference between Republican and Democrat.

00:32:22.000 New Republican voter registration last week in Pennsylvania absolutely crushed them.

00:32:27.000 Keep your eye on the prize.

00:32:29.000 We must translate this enthusiasm to getting the ballots into boxes.

00:32:34.000 And right now we are doing that.

00:32:36.000 And you guys deserve phenomenal credit.

00:32:38.000 You guys deserve real encouragement because you guys are doing the work.

00:32:42.000 And I'm receiving your emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:45.000 And many of you did what I asked you to do and you found one new voter.

00:32:48.000 I personally chased six new ballots this weekend on top of everything else we're doing.

00:32:55.000 But you know what?

00:32:56.000 It wasn't even people in the Turning Point Action mobile app.

00:32:58.000 It was just people in my circle.

00:33:00.000 I said, have you voted?

00:33:02.000 Oh, I'm getting to it.

00:33:02.000 I said, no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:03.000 We're not doing that.

00:33:04.000 You're voting right now.

00:33:05.000 You're going to vote right now. 0.98

00:33:07.000 And yes, you must be a nag. 1.00

00:33:09.000 You must hassle people.

00:33:11.000 In-person early voting is available in Arizona.

00:33:13.000 In-person early voting is available in Georgia.

00:33:16.000 In-person early voting is available in North Carolina.

00:33:18.000 You have to be a pest.

00:33:21.000 Are all of your ballots coming in?

00:33:22.000 When are you voting?

00:33:24.000 Get your ballot in the system.

00:33:25.000 You must create this noise that makes it a fever pitch.

00:33:29.000 That is the test ahead of us.

00:33:33.000 There are 15 days of voting until voting ends.

00:33:37.000 I think we should need to suspend with the term election day.

00:33:40.000 We can call it election night.

00:33:43.000 We just need to say there's 15 days left in this election.

00:33:46.000 That's it.
