00:00:15.000Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Andrew Cuomo, and Gretchen Whitmer, they all spoke, and we tell you that there was actually some really good news for President Trump tonight.
00:00:23.000We learned a lot about the Democrat Party.
00:00:25.000We learned a lot about our country tonight.
00:00:27.000Thank you guys so much for supporting us as we are recording this podcast right now.
00:00:34.000I could actually go and get a cup of coffee.
00:00:35.000It is so early because we wanted to make sure you guys had this program right here so early in the morning so you guys knew exactly what was happening in your country and you had the facts to be able to react to it.
00:00:46.000And it's made possible by those of you that support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:51.000Email me your questions at any time at freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:16.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:25.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:36.000The first night of the Democrat National Convention has concluded.
00:01:41.000So the Democrat Convention has decided to go all virtual.
00:01:44.000And look, I love political conventions.
00:01:47.000I've been watching them since I was very young when I was eight or nine years old.
00:01:51.000As long as I can remember, I've actually been watching political conventions.
00:01:55.000And I have to say, to be perfectly honest with you, it's not the same.
00:01:59.000Without a crowd, without instant reaction, it just felt like nothing more than a best clip collection of political advertisements.
00:02:07.000And by the way, we are doing this right now at 12.30 Eastern.
00:02:13.000And by the time we are done editing and done with this episode, it will be probably 3.30 a.m. Eastern.
00:02:18.000We had the first most instant analysis because that's how much we care about you guys because we see how much you guys support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:02:26.000And that's why we give you two episodes a day.
00:02:53.000But there was also a lot of learning lessons.
00:02:57.000A lot of things that those of us that support the president, I think there's some positives.
00:03:02.000There's some real takeaways here that is just beyond just all of the pre-rehearsed radicalism that was within the first night of the Democrat Party.
00:03:11.000So let's just start with just the visuals.
00:03:13.000For those of you that didn't get a chance to watch the convention, it was very incongruent.
00:03:19.000That's the best word I can possibly use.
00:03:21.000You had Eva Longoria as kind of like the MC for the evening out of Los Angeles, who was on some sort of a stage set, who was broadcasting live to the nation.
00:03:31.000And she was kind of MCing the whole evening.
00:03:33.000It started off with a very interesting rendition of the Star Spangled Banner of different people singing it from across the nation.
00:03:41.000And one thing the Democrats really like to do is they like to use symbology, history of America, and our phrases to try to achieve their radicalism.
00:03:52.000This is something that Saul Alinsky, author of the book Rules for Radicals, talked about at length.
00:03:58.000Use the symbology to try to communicate to the population that you're trying to take over.
00:04:11.000But instead, try to win over the population with things that they are familiar with.
00:04:17.000Several speakers did this throughout the evening.
00:04:19.000Senator A.B. Klobuchar in particular did this when she was talking about multiple times e pluribus unum, the Latin phrase, out of many one.
00:04:27.000The Democrats don't believe in e pluribus unum.
00:04:30.000Everything is about racial politics and pitting people against each other and trying to judge people based on skin color.
00:04:38.000But just from a production standpoint, it is remarkably clear that ever since Harvey Weinstein went to jail, the Democrats have very little capacity to be able to tap into Hollywood's best producers.
00:05:07.000Michelle Obama's speech was given sitting down.
00:05:10.000Bernie Sanders' speech looked like something out of a hostage video, as if he was forced to give these remarks, as if he was almost compelled to endorse Joe Biden.
00:05:24.000And one of the biggest takeaways I'm going to get to in just a second, one of these takeaways, I think those of us that want to see the president re-elected, we have to listen very closely to what the Democrats are saying and where they spent their time.
00:05:36.000But first, let's talk about home security.
00:05:38.000Do you know that in California, they just let out 18,000 prisoners and criminals, some of which are rapists, thugs, and vigilantes?
00:05:48.000If not, your loved ones could be the next victims of the thugs that are left out of prison.
00:05:54.000That's why I put my name behind SimplySafe.

00:06:50.000One of the biggest takeaways was where the Democrats were spending their time.
00:06:54.000So I kind of put the entire Democrat programming focus on two R's.
00:06:58.000First of all, they were very focused on racial issues, basically telling everyone how racist they were, and then also very focused on Republicans.
00:07:07.000A huge portion of their program was focused on trying to get Republican voters to vote for Joe Biden.
00:07:16.000They even had John Kasich, who stumbled into a meadow somewhere in Ohio and said America was at a crossroads, and he endorsed Joe Biden in the video.
00:07:27.000It was nearly unwatchable and very, very difficult to hear a former Republican in such a cringeworthy fashion go after the pro-abortion, pro-gun-grabbing, radical Marxist ticket of Joe Biden and Senator Harris.
00:07:44.000However, there were other parts where former Republican representatives and former governors were also Skyping and zooming into the Democrat convention.
00:07:56.000For those of us that study political strategy and political analysis, like myself, that dives deep into polling and dives deep into data, this is very clear to me that Democrats have a problem.
00:08:10.000Democrats are trying to solve both of their structural problems heading in in November simultaneously.
00:08:16.000However, whoever's doing their political strategy didn't actually realize that both of their focuses can actually be self-defeating.
00:08:31.000A lot of their messaging, such as Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, where she said we need to rewrite our laws and reimagine our society, which we'll play that tape in just one second, was completely contradictory to John Kasich saying that Joe Biden won't actually be a radical.
00:09:57.000Is it we're going to rewrite our laws and reimagine our society?
00:10:01.000Or is it that Joe Biden won't actually be a radical?
00:10:04.000So, by trying to pander to the racist roots of the Democrat Party that is playing so far into black identity politics, that is trying to make white people feel guilty and ashamed for their immutable characteristics, while simultaneously trying to win Midwestern voters with people like John Kasich, who is a failed governor of Ohio, and someone who quite honestly has no principles at all whatsoever and is not an American patriot who got offended by Donald Trump's tweets at him during a political campaign,
00:10:34.000has harbored that resentment and has decided to manifest that into revenge, so deeply political, by the way, that he will endorse Joe Biden, a Democrat pro-abortion advocate who has paired himself with the most liberal United States senator.
00:10:49.000That's how little John Kasich cares about the future of our republic.
00:10:54.000And so the Democrat strategy clearly shows that they have an enthusiasm problem in the black community.
00:11:02.000And we saw that when George Floyd's family members Skyped in or zoomed in towards the beginning of the Democrat convention, trying to convey to the American population that we must continue the racial politics that stemmed out of the unfortunate death of their brother and their family member, paired with the Republican defection strategy.
00:11:27.000So this all is good news for President Trump.
00:11:31.000If the Democrats were doing one but not the other, then that would be a more alarming sign.
00:11:38.000Instead, the Democrats have both a base problem and they have a swing voter problem.
00:11:47.000The Democrats have been reanalyzing data from 2012.
00:11:52.000And do you know what the Democrats have been realizing when they've been reanalyzing the data of how President Obama won in 2012?
00:11:59.000President Obama won in 2012 because he was able to get self-described Republicans to vote for him again because he portrayed himself as a common sense moderate in 2012.
00:12:12.000And in 2008, he was a shock election candidate where the country was just ready for change because of the failed presidency in the last couple years of President Bush and just the war weariness and the recession did not help.
00:12:23.000And John McCain was a terrible candidate.
00:12:30.000Whoever designed this convention should be fired.
00:12:32.000But the Biden campaign probably gave the marching orders to the Democrat National Convention and they were poorly executed.
00:12:38.000But the marching orders are not incorrect.
00:12:41.000The marching orders were very clear that in order to win the Midwest, in order to win states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are critical to Joe Biden winning the White House, they need to win self-described Republicans.
00:12:55.000And even more so, they need to win new Republicans.
00:12:59.000They need to win new Republicans that voted for Donald Trump in 2016 that used to be Democrats, that they're trying to bring them back to the party.
00:13:08.000Simultaneously, they looked at the data from 2012 and they saw that minority numbers in 2012 were far that in 2016.
00:13:17.000And so what the Democrats are failing to recognize is that the more that they pander to Black Lives Matter Incorporated, BLM Inc., which is the better way to say it, we say BLM Inc. here on this program.
00:13:28.000And for those of you that have not been tuning in for the last couple months, as we have had the most cutting analysis on these issues, it's BLM Incorporated.
00:13:35.000I encourage all of you that are new listeners, please go back in the archives.
00:13:38.000We have some of the most in-depth analysis and episodes in early June in particular where we did multi-hour episodes on BLM Incorporated and their true agenda to destroy America.
00:13:50.000But if I was a moderate Republican watching this program tonight, or if I was a moderate that might not love Donald Trump, but I'm not yet sold on the Democrats, but my values are center-right, I would say, wait a second.
00:14:02.000I got John Kasich trying to tell me to come over to the party and say that Joe Biden is fine.
00:14:16.000While just a couple minutes before that, we were hearing from the Washington, D.C. mayor saying that we need to rewrite our laws and reimagine our society.
00:14:25.000They are trying to unite two inherently incongruent ideas: leftism and liberalism.
00:14:33.000This is why their message felt so scattered.
00:14:49.000He needs decent, reasonable suburban voters to come home, and he needs enough minority voters to decide they love America and Donald Trump wins in a landslide.
00:14:58.000The Democrats have a much harder sell because of the inherent radicalism and also because of campus voting no longer happening because of a lot of the campus closures in the Battleground states.
00:15:59.000You had the Republicans, please come vote for us.
00:16:02.000And then you also had the virus messaging.
00:16:05.000So the virus messaging actually was probably, if there was anything that was the theme of the night, it's basically America's going through something we've never gone before.
00:16:14.000Let's not hold the Chinese accountable for it.
00:16:16.000Instead, let's punish the president who we don't like for happening to be president during something that President Obama didn't properly prepare us for.
00:16:25.000Andrew Cuomo blamed Donald Trump for the Chinese coronavirus deaths.
00:16:30.000In fact, he called it the European virus.
00:17:08.000And what about all the old folks' homes, Andrew Cuomo?
00:17:12.000That 42% of all deaths were in New York and New Jersey to the Chinese coronavirus.
00:17:18.000And let's talk about your crime rates.
00:17:21.000New York's population is 19.4 million and has 32,000 deaths, which is a death rate of 167 out of 100,000 residents.
00:17:31.000When you juxtapose that to Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, it has a combined population of 68 million and just 29,000 deaths.
00:17:39.000The death rate for those states is 42 out of 100,000, four times lower than New York City combined.
00:17:44.000But it's all tragic, but we must talk in facts.
00:17:47.000And also, we heard from one of the worst governors in America, the tyrant herself, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who's a very unhappy, bitter person.
00:18:03.000And Governor Gretchen Whitmer, whose response to the virus has been so draconian, she's destroyed thousands of Michigan businesses.
00:18:10.000She was trying to continue on the virus messaging.
00:18:13.000So I want to get into some of the never-Trumpers and some of the Republicans who think they're being cute and they think they're on the right side of history.
00:18:20.000But first, let's talk about getting into shape.
00:18:23.000Whether you're new to the gym or you've been weightlifting for years, it's hard to find the right workout program and stick to it.
00:18:29.000If you've ever gone to the gym without a plan, you know how overwhelming the weight room can feel.
00:18:34.000Even with a trainer, it can be hard to know you're pushing yourself too much or not enough.
00:18:39.000Fitbod is a smart fitness app that takes all of the guesswork out of planning your workouts.
00:18:44.000Fitbob's algorithm, factors in your goals, experience level equipment, workout direction, and muscle recovery to intelligently craft the perfect total body workout program just for you.
00:19:02.000Now, Fitbod combines the knowledge of fitness pros with a powerful machine learning algorithm to give you a workout program that maximizes your results.

00:19:31.000Fitbod workouts are balanced to avoid overworking muscles with varied exercises to keep you sharp.
00:20:10.000And then John Kasich and they had some other former Republicans that decided to go out on a limb and try to endorse Joe Biden.
00:20:18.000So just understand, President Trump is one of the most popular presidents in the Republican Party in the history of the Republican Party.
00:20:24.000And you look at the type of Republicans that are defecting from the party.
00:20:27.000These are not Republicans that care about the fabric of our country.
00:20:31.000These are mostly corporate Republicans like Meg Whitman, who have run massive companies that have shipped jobs overseas that have pandered to China that, quite frankly, really don't care about the future of the Republic.
00:20:42.000They just care that they get invited to the right cocktail parties and their kids and grandkids get into the right elite institutions.
00:20:51.000At least three of them were from New York and from New Jersey.
00:20:54.000And again, John Kasich, the Democrats made a very strategic error here.
00:20:59.000The Democrats should, instead of having all these people in highly produced campaign ads, they should have just paid for private jets and for quarantines and have everyone on the same stage.
00:21:12.000It would have been a much better expenditure resource-wise.
00:21:40.000I mean, every single time she speaks, she talks about how she announced her campaign for president in a blizzard.
00:21:46.000And my favorite part of her announcing her campaign for president in a blizzard is she was talking about the dangers of global warming.
00:21:54.000And it's interesting enough, she didn't mention why she didn't pursue charges against Derek Chauvin, the individual that killed George Floyd.
00:22:12.000And she also didn't mention any of the rioting or the destruction in the state that she represents.
00:22:19.000She also didn't mention any of the rioting or destruction of the 170-plus black-owned businesses that were burned almost to the ground, many of them, in her home state of Minnesota in the city of Minneapolis.
00:22:34.000She didn't mention any of that at all.
00:22:38.000In fact, the riots that are happening in our country endlessly in Portland and in Seattle were not mentioned once by the Democrats tonight.
00:22:51.000They know that they are not going to mention how BLM Incorporated is roaming the streets like terrorist thugs going after innocent businesses, going after innocent people and terrorizing them.
00:23:07.000The left has unleashed chaos and violence, and now they're gaslighting doublespeak against us.
00:23:16.000And again, as they're trying to win over suburban voters and moderate Republicans with former Republicans like Meg Whitman and John Kasich, they're also pandering to BLM Incorporated while not mentioning a frontier issue of the criminals that are prowling in our streets.
00:24:15.000Representative Cedric Richmond from Louisiana, who's in charge of something for the Biden campaign.
00:24:21.000I think he's in charge of the Racial Disharmony Coalition.
00:24:24.000I think he's in charge of turning people against each other based on their skin color.
00:24:29.000I think he's in charge of making sure that the Biden campaign stays correctly racist.
00:24:37.000And allegedly saying the Democrats are the champion of small businesses.
00:24:41.000What about the small businesses that have burned to the ground?
00:24:43.000What about the small businesses that we have profiled on our program before?
00:24:48.000No mention of Mohammed Ashik, who we mentioned previously on the Charlie Kirk show, who has a watch clinic, owner of watch clinic in Chicago.
00:24:59.000And over $900,000 of inventory was stole by BLM Incorporated and the terroristic forces in Chicago.
00:25:08.000And he says, quote, it's my entire life, he says as a nearby L-Train rumbled above his store.
00:25:14.00042 years in this business, and all I have left is my health.
00:25:19.000No mention of that from Cedric Richmond, who's in charge, I think, of the racial disharmony coalition of the Joe Biden for president campaign.
00:25:32.000Then came someone whose time probably would have been better suited 100 years previously in the rural parts of Russia when Lenin was leading a revolution against the SARS.
00:25:43.000It just seems like Bernie Sanders is like a century too late for these ideas.
00:25:47.000So the Bolshevik came out in early July with former Vice President Joe Biden.
00:25:52.000They came out with their own unity manifesto.
00:25:55.000I don't know if the manifesto is a term that they gave or that we gave them, but calling anything that is published by Senator Bernie Sanders a manifesto is awfully daft.
00:26:06.000Actually, Mr. Producer just said that we gave the name to them, but I think they should call it the manifesto.
00:26:10.000They might as well tell the truth for once because truth is not a left-wing value.
00:26:14.000However, there were numerous recommendations from the Democrat National Committee, many of which were lifted directly from the Democrat-Marxist socialist agenda.
00:26:24.000This was likely from Bernie's backroom payoff, basically, for remaining cooperative after all the Democrat Party elites colluded against him, not once, but twice.
00:26:35.000In the 110-page manifesto, it urged the Democrat Party to dismantle President Trump's border security policies, implement a roadmap to citizenship for millions of illegals, pass a public option designed to lead to a government takeover of American health care and other radical ideas that will be incorporated more or less verbatim in the 2020 Democrat platform.
00:26:56.000So Bernie then proceeds to start attacking President Trump and reminding the Democrat National Committee how his ideas have won right after Kasich just said Joe Biden wouldn't go radical left.
00:27:08.000Yet another example of how incongruent the messaging was.
00:27:12.000So first of all, it's just laughable and silly to hear Bernie Sanders ever talk about authoritarianism.
00:27:20.000Everything that Bernie Sanders believes in is about centralizing power.
00:27:25.000We have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises, but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism.
00:27:35.000This election is the most important in the modern history of this country.
00:27:41.000In response to the unprecedented crises we face, we need an unprecedented response, a movement like never before of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for democracy and decency and against greed, oligarchy, and bigotry.
00:28:01.000And we need Joe Biden as our next president.
00:28:06.000So basically, he says we're being led down a path to authoritarianism, and his solution is democratic authoritarianism.
00:28:14.000And Bernie Sanders said, I may not be on the ticket, but my ideas are on the ticket.
00:28:21.000And I have to just say that the Democrats and Kyle Kalinsky, who's a Marxist, basically a communist, nice guy, debated him at Politicon just about a year ago.
00:28:31.000He got a little angry, and that's fine.
00:29:11.000He said, here, quote, we love hearing 462 different versions of, quote, Trump bad with zero serious policy commitments to fix the heck world we're in.
00:29:22.000He said a different world word, but we don't use those words, don't we, folks?
00:29:26.000We have to keep our podcast PG-rated because I recommend young people to listen to it.
00:29:30.000Anyway, Kyle Kalinsky is exactly right.
00:29:32.000And it kind of builds out a point I was about to make.
00:29:34.000It was just kind of a uneventful convention.
00:29:37.000I mean, the Democrats truly believe that they can vanilla moderate their way to the White House.
00:30:18.000And speaking of memories and speaking of things that should not be forgotten, let's talk about a way that you could preserve your family's history and past.

00:31:36.000Got so much to learn from people that came before us.
00:39:14.000Donald Trump has a huge opportunity next week to make America dream big and think big, to reach for higher heights and to have tomorrow be a better day than it is today.
00:39:27.000Not this bitter counseling session where like Michelle Obama calls you into her living room and being, let me tell you how awful you are.
00:39:34.000Let me tell you about everything that's wrong with our country.
00:40:44.000We could still wait for Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.
00:40:46.000But interestingly enough, I think the Democrats, based on their pandering to racial politics and moderate voters, they know they have to boost minority turnout in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:40:55.000When they had their little small business Zoom session, two out of four of the small business owners were in Pennsylvania.
00:41:03.000And we've talked about this on the Charlie Kirk show before.
00:41:06.000Donald Trump's going to win the Core 4.
00:41:08.000He's going to win Arizona, Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina.
00:41:11.000Donald Trump is also probably going to win Florida.
00:41:14.000Therefore, if Donald Trump either wins Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, he wins the White House in four more years.
00:41:19.000That's why they have their little virtual convention in Milwaukee, of which it's going to do nothing because none of the people are actually in Milwaukee.
00:41:25.000Now, the Democrats are left with a question.
00:42:14.000If there's a Republican out there that all of a sudden was moved by John Kasich in a meadow telling us about how his father worked for the post office, I don't know if that actually happened, but I don't think John Kasich has ever given a speech without ever mentioning that his father worked for the post office.
00:42:53.000If there were a bunch of Democrats going on TV and those Democrats loved abortion and all that, and they were telling me about how great Donald Trump was, I'd think a little bit about, like, I don't know if I love that.
00:43:42.000The latest CNN poll, and we'll close with this, is that the movement in the polls nationwide since June has shown that Donald Trump is down just one point in the battleground moving average.
00:43:56.000Trump gained 10 points in the CNN poll since June.
00:44:54.000We are going to be following it all week and the Democrat National Convention and their attempt to try to make a coherent message, something Joe Biden can't do himself.
00:45:03.000So let's see if the Democrat Party can do it for him.
