00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000January 6th committee says they're going to subpoena Donald Trump and a couple activists desecrate a very beautiful painting by Vincent Van Gogh.
00:00:12.000Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and get involved with Turning Point USA Today.
00:01:18.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:29.000Our candidates are more focused on the message.
00:02:32.000Democrats in their electoral spending strategy have gone all in on one issue, abortion, which does matter to some voters and can be a wedge issue in some communities, but is becoming less and less so as the economy craters, as inflation increases, as people get poor, the harder they work.
00:02:52.000And that's usually a troubling sign, isn't it?
00:02:55.000If you get poor the more you work, you're probably standing on some very shaky and fragile ground.
00:03:04.000You look at all the different things that the Democrats have tried over the last couple of months.
00:03:08.000And this is why this program matters so much.
00:03:50.000Then suddenly independents, people in suburban communities are going to be coming in great numbers and massive direction, defecting against the Democrat Party.
00:04:04.000If you are the, let's pretend you are a Democrat consultant for a second.
00:04:09.000Let's pretend you're a Democrat consultant and you have a bucket of money to deploy.
00:04:15.000At some point, you've got to be honest with yourself.
00:04:18.000At some point, if you are a Democrat consultant, you have to realize that you have a diminishing rate of return.
00:04:24.000Election Day cannot come soon enough for Democrats.
00:04:27.000For Republicans, we want to stretch out these next couple of weeks because the polling is showing us every day is an eternity in politics right now.
00:04:36.000Democrats are trying to accelerate this.
00:04:38.000They're like, we can't get this over quick enough.
00:04:41.000Now, a good rule in politics is the people that want Election Day to come sooner usually lose.
00:04:54.000But Democrats right now are freaking out that the trajectory and the current momentum is totally disfavorable to them.
00:05:03.000And we see this at every single corner and every turn.
00:05:07.000And now the Democrats have a new strategy.
00:05:10.000The New York Times, which I read so you don't have to, right here, the front page of the New York Times, which by the way, the New York Times, I don't like racializing things.
00:05:37.000I almost guarantee you the core reliable demographic of the people that read this garbage are upper middle class college educated liberals.
00:05:56.000They have failed at every single turn.
00:05:58.000Now in the month of October, halfway through the month of October, where we are just days away from one of the most consequential midterm elections of our lifetime, their way of now having their big October surprise is to subpoena Donald Trump for what exactly?
00:06:18.000I am offering this resolution that the committee direct the chairman to issue a subpoena for relevant documents and testimony under oath from Donald John Trump in connection with the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol.
00:06:36.000That's Liz Cheney making the announcement that now the January 6th committee is going to use their resources, their taxpayer-funded resources, to go subpoena Donald Trump.
00:06:48.000In the list of priorities for voters, what do you think, where do you think January 6th ends up for battleground voters in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania?
00:07:06.000It is the total collapse of the Democrat Party.
00:07:09.000And instead of trying to moderate their views, instead of trying to find some sort of messaging adjustment, it's, hey, let's go after the head of the snake.
00:07:17.000And I believe this is only going to boost Democrat turnout.
00:07:21.000And I'd love your thoughts, freedom, atcharlykirk.com.
00:07:23.000The messages we've been receiving, the consensus I am seeing is that the more that they do this nonsense, the raiding of Mar-a-Lago, the arresting of Steve Bannon, the arresting of Peter Navarro, the arresting of Hauk and Vaughn, the two pro-life leaders, it only inspires us to go knock on more doors.
00:07:41.000It only encourages us to go get more friends to go vote.
00:07:45.000I think this is a Republican turnout operation, not a Democrat turnout operation.
00:07:51.000This only gets more people to say this is the opposite of what government should be.
00:07:56.000I think Liz Cheney calling for a subpoena is only going to rile us up even more to go vote to displace these people from power.
00:08:07.000And January 6th is now the primary concern of the regime halfway through October.
00:08:14.000And the recent polls are showing a collapse.
00:08:17.000The Democrat Party is falling apart in front of our very eyes.
00:09:00.000And all across the board, we are seeing from poll after poll, Pennsylvania within the margin of error, Ron Johnson up big time in Wisconsin, JD Vance up in Ohio, Ted Budd up in North Carolina, Ron DeSantis up 10 points in Florida.
00:09:13.000Now, I'm not saying we should be cocky.
00:09:14.000I'm very worried about mail-in ballots and all this, but I'm telling you, we are going to overwhelm the system, but it's not enough.
00:09:24.000We have got to have the shoulder to the wheel, full court press, 10 out of 10.
00:09:29.000Because I'm telling you right now, the Democrats, they know they're on defense and they are scrambling.
00:09:34.000The Democrat Party is now engaging in a recalibration.
00:09:41.000And by the way, the latest poll by Fox 10 here in Arizona, Carrie Lake up three points.
00:09:48.000The latest poll for the Oregon governor's race, Drazen up six points.
00:09:53.000I mean, you're starting to see a massive realignment here, and it's happening so quickly.
00:09:58.000The Democrats, you see, their strategy was go raise all of this money.
00:10:03.000Go raise all this money over the summer and spend it quickly.
00:10:06.000And now their coffers are getting dry.
00:10:08.000And Republicans kept their powder dry until they could see the white in the eyes, metaphorically, of course.
00:10:14.000And now Republicans are outspending Democrats in some of these states, and it's going to happen very quickly.
00:10:22.000Right now, Bank of America has just lowered its 2022 forecast for the S ⁇ P 500 by a whopping 900 points to 3,600.
00:10:32.000Saying we're headed for a recession this year, it said the new year target is the lowest on the street.
00:10:37.000This is not good news for those of you stuck in equities or anything tied to stock markets.
00:10:41.000I know thousands of people who have put their trust in Noble Gold to prevent losing money and the financial storm that is brewing.
00:10:48.000You can join them by calling their expert team.
00:10:50.000Noble Gold has recently voted the number one gold company in the country by Consumer Affairs.
00:10:54.000No call centers, no scripted response, no bull, just a straight, honest run through options so you can decide.
00:11:00.000And by the way, they're giving away a beautiful 110th an ounce gold American Eagle coin with every qualifying IRA or 401k rollover this month.
00:11:20.000Okay, I want to go through this story here.
00:11:21.000House Democrats retrench as GOP money floods the map.
00:11:26.000Henancy Pelosi is in complete and total panic right now, and she should be.
00:11:30.000She is on defense and they are running out of time.
00:11:36.000They're running out of time in many different ways because we are 25 days out, and Nancy Pelosi is starting to do what any sort of losing general in a war has to do: retreat and protect the assets you can't lose.
00:11:49.000Politico.com, House Democrats retrench as GOP money floods the map.
00:11:53.000The party isn't airing ads in six of the 14 GOP districts Joe Biden carried in 2020 as it directs money to help incumbents under threat.
00:12:02.000And it goes through and talks about some of these races.
00:12:04.000Meanwhile, House Republican super PAC crosses $200 million in midterm spending.
00:12:10.000I feel a lot better about the House than I do about the Senate.
00:12:13.000The Senate, I'm feeling better and better about, but the House is looking great.
00:12:17.000And these House races are, you know, one step forward, two step back.
00:12:41.000Democrats have known their campaign chief, Representative Sean Patrick Maloney, would be forced to make different decisions, difficult decisions, I'm sorry, to prioritize some races over others.
00:12:52.000Meaningful party spending has not begun and is unlikely to start in Tom O'Halloran's district in Arizona.
00:12:58.000And other three open Democrat held districts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and South Texas are trending away from the party.
00:13:05.000But some lawmakers and strategists say they're still worried about not being able to spend on offense.
00:13:10.000For instance, Democrats are spending on TV to aid roughly half of the three dozen candidates the DCC designated as party's most formidable challenges.
00:13:18.000And the lack of investment to target Republicans in Biden won seats is particularly noticeable.
00:13:25.000Representative Tony Cardenas in California, who joined Alex Padilla, Senator Alex Padilla from California at a campaign event, said he was optimistic she would win, but acknowledged the deluge of Republican cash.
00:13:37.000It's happening all across the country.
00:13:41.000The 2022 congressional generic ballot is trending up 3% since the end of September.
00:13:50.000And you're starting to see it at every single front.
00:13:54.000So you see it at realclearpolitics.com, the moving average in Wisconsin, in Nevada, in North Carolina, in Ohio, all coming in our direction.
00:14:26.000Why would Nancy Pelosi embed a documentary team filmed by Alexandra Pelosi, her daughter, who's a documentary filmmaker, during January 6th?
00:15:06.000I'm going to go to jail and I'm going to be happy.
00:15:09.000That sounds like political violence, doesn't it?
00:15:11.000Could you imagine if there was a piece of tape of Donald Trump saying, I'm going to punch Nancy Pelosi out, which is the party of political violence now, which is the party of domestic violent extremism?
00:16:00.000Just go to a turning point USA campus event and tell me who are the ones that are engaged in dialogue and discussion and who are the ones that are trying to use force to shut the other side up.
00:16:27.000Do you have a stockpile of emergency food if the unthinkable happens?
00:16:30.000If not, now is the time to get some emergency food for you and your family.

00:17:49.000He was somebody that, in some way, shape, or form, tried to glorify God with his work.
00:17:55.000I'm not an expert on Van Gogh by any means whatsoever, nor am I an expert in art in the 1800s.
00:18:02.000But his stuff is beautiful and it's well respected, and it's an important part of the Western tradition and definitely worthy of respect.
00:18:09.000And here's kind of my approach when it comes to art that was created before the 1900s.
00:18:19.000If I don't initially understand it, or if it doesn't move me at the first viewing or glance, then I'm probably missing something.
00:18:30.000Now, I think that's completely different with postmodern garbage, post-1920s, where if somebody trashed a postmodern piece of art, most people would not even realize it's vandalism.
00:18:42.000For example, the signed urinal of the trickster, what was that guy's name that did that?
00:19:14.000It's something that is worthy of appreciation and study.
00:19:17.000What was he trying to communicate through art?
00:19:19.000Art touches the soul, whether it be paintings or poetry or Handel's Messiah or Beethoven's Fifth.
00:19:28.000And so, anyway, with all that kind of as a pretext, this goes to show exactly who the left is.
00:19:37.000It's one of the most accurate pictures I have ever seen of what happens when you send your kid to university, of the lack of gratitude, the lack of appreciation.
00:19:47.000And I saw this firsthand when I went to UT Austin a couple of days ago.
00:19:53.000They say there's no truth, there's no beauty.
00:19:55.000The West is systemically racist and colonialist.
00:20:05.000The way the media is covering this story is so ridiculously reckless and irresponsible.
00:20:10.000Climate protesters throw soup on Van Gogh's sunflowers painting.
00:20:16.000Two activists who I think are young ladies, but I don't want to assume their gender threw tomato soup on the sunflowers painting of Vincent Van Gogh.
00:20:29.000And then they give some explanation as to why.
00:20:53.000Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?
00:21:01.000The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis.
00:21:06.000Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families.
00:21:12.000They can't even afford to heat a tin of soup.
00:21:18.000This is what happens when you elevate complete buffoons like Greta Thunberg.
00:21:22.000You get all sorts of invite, you get this civilizational terrorism like this.
00:21:27.000And yes, that's what I'm going to call it.
00:21:28.000You go after a beautiful piece of work like Vincent Van Gogh's sunflowers that is adored by millions of people and his work and his canon, and you throw tomato soup at that.
00:22:10.000You go after the treasured pieces of art that communicate beauty, at least the attempt to get into alignment with objective reality and beauty.
00:22:43.000They don't believe in any sort of objective standards.
00:22:45.000And I got to be honest, I think this is going to backfire amongst a lot of different people.
00:22:51.000I can't imagine an independent voter in America, an independent-minded person that has some sort of reverence for Vincent Van Gogh, is going to wake up and see this and say, oh, yeah, you know, you go, climate activists, go destroy some of the great work of the West.
00:24:47.000As Dennis Prager beautifully puts it, the left destroys everything it touches, from professional sports to classical music to the college to the American family.
00:25:33.000The point is you're going to go destroy somebody's contribution to the West contribution to the ability to express oneself in a very beautiful way, might I add?
00:26:34.000And the ironic part is when you look about, when you think about it, that if you actually had natural gas and you had access to clean and cheap energy, then people would be able to afford more things.
00:26:46.000It's your green energy environmentalist agenda that's hurting people.
00:27:59.000Look, if you're taking the wrong type of magnesium, well, then your metabolism suffers, you can't lose weight, your blood pressure goes up, and a whole lot more.
00:28:07.000Your metabolic rate is directly correlated at times to your magnesium.
00:29:42.000I will ask, though, how much is too much money?
00:29:46.000And we asked that question from the senator of North Dakota, a very nice and decent man who I believe has a lot of integrity, Senator Kramer.
00:29:53.000And he came on this program and I'm paraphrasing, but he said something of the, I don't know if there is a limit.
00:29:58.000And that's not a responsible answer, in my opinion.
00:30:02.000And I say that with a lot of respect for him because we agree on most issues.
00:30:07.000But does Zelensky have a claim over the U.S. Treasury?
00:30:12.000For those of you that think and support what's happening in Ukraine and the money that we're pumping into Ukraine, do you ever pause for a moment and believe, hmm, maybe there is a greater priority we could be investing in here domestically?
00:30:28.000Do you think that there is maybe something that is more important to our needs, wants, and interests to your kids' future than a proxy war, a very messy and murky proxy war, halfway across the world?
00:30:42.000And I could tell you from talking to the grassroots to regular everyday people, people are much more concerned about our schools and our borders being protected than giving armaments to Zelensky.
00:30:56.000Tucker Carlson had one of the most, I think, sharp takedowns of Zelensky in recent memory, where Zelensky is now going and demanding more of your money.
00:32:14.000He has a claim on our treasury because the Republican Party has not made the moral argument of what a government exists to do, which is to serve your citizens first and foremost.
00:32:31.000Neoliberalism makes you believe that your government transcends borders.
00:32:38.000Neoliberalism enables your belief that you can go play nation builder in every corner of the country, regardless of cultural background, history, and likelihood to embrace Western values.
00:32:53.000And by the way, the people pushing neoliberalism, I don't even know if they believe it, they do stand to make tons of money off of it.
00:33:00.000The war machine is printing money, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin.
00:33:13.000We can't get $5 billion for border patrol agents, but we can now send $75 billion more than the GDP of North Dakota to go support Zelensky.
00:33:23.000And then he goes and just with this entitlement smug attitude, we need more money, pal.
00:33:28.000Yeah, the U.S. government has created a surrogate state.
00:33:32.000And by the way, so they end the war in Afghanistan and they go start a much more lucrative war now in Ukraine.
00:33:39.000They just transferred one proxy subsidiary to the other.
00:33:43.000It took them six months to realign their interests.
00:33:47.000I really want a Republican Party that will put our country first.
00:33:53.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
