The Charlie Kirk Show - Reaching the Finish Line with JD Vance and Blake Masters

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, two people that are on the verge of being great U.S. senators, JD Vance and Blake Masters, Arizona and Ohio.

00:00:07.000 We got to help both of these young men.

00:00:09.000 They're friends of mine.

00:00:09.000 Let's get them across the finish line.

00:00:11.000 Urgency, strength.

00:00:14.000 We need it from all of you guys.

00:00:15.000 God bless you for supporting them if you can.

00:00:17.000 Prayers mean a lot.

00:00:18.000 We need to get all mobilized.

00:00:20.000 We are just days.

00:00:20.000 That's right, days out from midterm election that is going to send shockwaves to the Democrat regime.

00:00:49.000 We go.

00:00:50.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:54.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:57.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:02.000 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.

00:01:11.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:22.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:25.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.

00:01:28.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:35.000 JD Vance is here.

00:01:36.000 He's running for Senate in Ohio, JD Vance.com.

00:01:40.000 We've got to make sure JD gets across the finish line.

00:01:43.000 JD, how you doing?

00:01:44.000 How's the race?

00:01:45.000 It's going well, Charlie.

00:01:46.000 I appreciate you having me.

00:01:47.000 So, you know, we're in a race against a guy who pretends to be a moderate.

00:01:50.000 You know, he says that he supports Trump's trade policies and his commercials, even though he voted against them and actually really criticized them when they were actually being implemented.

00:02:00.000 He says that he supports law enforcement, yet he wants to end cash bail and proposed that we eliminate qualified immunity, which of course is the legal protections that our police officers have.

00:02:10.000 And so what he's really trying to do basically is run as a version of me.

00:02:14.000 He's trying to run as sort of diet JD Vance and hope that the electorate of Ohio doesn't recognize that he is in fact a liberal Democrat.

00:02:21.000 He does vote with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time.

00:02:23.000 And so, you know, we over the next 13 days are really just trying to hammer the message.

00:02:27.000 Don't believe Tim Ryan's lies about me, but also don't believe Tim Ryan's lies about himself.

00:02:32.000 And I think that we're in a very, very good place, man.

00:02:34.000 The energy is crazy.

00:02:36.000 The crowds are great.

00:02:37.000 People are very enthusiastic.

00:02:39.000 I think if the election were tomorrow, we'd win.

00:02:42.000 I think on November the 8th, we're going to win by an even larger margin than we win today.

00:02:45.000 Yeah, I think that's a really good sign for the health of the country.

00:02:48.000 We're seeing this happen where Warnock and Kelly and now Ryan, they have to pretend to be somebody they're not.

00:02:54.000 They have to try to run a center-right campaign, and it's not working, right?

00:02:58.000 It's not sustainable.

00:03:00.000 But it does go to show the country's actually more conservative than the Malibu and Manhattan elites would actually lead to believe.

00:03:07.000 You've run a great race, JD.

00:03:08.000 You've been very disciplined.

00:03:09.000 I've been very upset with how Tim Ryan's handled a lot of stuff.

00:03:12.000 He's a very dishonest person in a lot of different ways.

00:03:15.000 So let's call 103.

00:03:17.000 Let's go to this cut.

00:03:18.000 Tim Ryan, the pretend moderate, calling for a release of half of all the federal inmates.

00:03:23.000 Play cut 103.

00:03:25.000 Thank you.

00:03:25.000 You've made an ACLU commitment to reduce mass incarceration by 50% during your presidency.

00:03:31.000 So speaking of that commitment, can you walk us through how you would go about doing it?

00:03:36.000 Yeah, there's a lot we have to do, and it ties into a lot of other areas.

00:03:44.000 But I would personally try to start with marijuana laws and getting marijuana off the schedule. 0.94

00:03:52.000 Man, just open up our prisons.

00:03:54.000 By the way, anyone who panders like that with the ACLU should not be a senator for the state of Ohio because ACLU are the same people that are cousins and sister organizations to people that want to legalize all drugs.

00:04:05.000 And then, meanwhile, fentanyl is destroying the people of Ohio.

00:04:08.000 People need to know about this.

00:04:10.000 Yeah, that's exactly right, Charlie.

00:04:12.000 Actually, our team just identified a video a couple of days ago where Tim Ryan said that he does want to abolish all limitations, all legal penalties for drugs, including fentanyl.

00:04:22.000 But, you know, it makes me realize, Charlie, like both at the individual trafficker level, at the Mexican drug cartel level, and even at the level of China, which, of course, is manufacturing this fentanyl, the Democrats want to go easy on everybody that's causing this drug problem in the state of Ohio and all across the country.

00:04:38.000 And I just got to say, Charlie, sort of separate the substantive disagreements that I have with Tim Ryan.

00:04:43.000 I watched that clip of him and I think to myself, this guy, after we beat him, is going to have a great career as a used car salesman.

00:04:51.000 There's just something about his voice or about his manner where, you know, it's like he's got a great 1994 Buick.

00:04:57.000 It runs like new, and he's going to give you a great deal on it.

00:05:00.000 That's his entire ethic.

00:05:02.000 That's his entire attitude.

00:05:04.000 And I think because of it, we're going to do very well in November.

00:05:06.000 Yeah, he's going to become a lobbyist, obviously, for some foreign country and earn a bunch of money.

00:05:11.000 And he won't be lobbying you, but he'll be lobbying his former, former, former Democrat colleagues in Congress trying to get some sort of swampy, disgusting bill passed.

00:05:21.000 I want to pay another piece of tape here. 0.99

00:05:25.000 This is, I mean, this guy is, he's got a little bit of a dirty mouth, man. 0.96

00:05:30.000 Let's play Cut 102. 0.83

00:05:31.000 We've edited this for radio.

00:05:33.000 This is not someone who looks like he's about to be a senator.

00:05:35.000 Let's play Cut 102.

00:05:37.000 There was a National Democratic consultant, high-level consultant, that said, we can't play in places like Ohio.

00:05:45.000 We got to go to the states that have more college-educated people.

00:05:53.000 That me off.

00:05:56.000 That is an absolute slap in the face to everyone who's out there busting their who just may not have a college degree.

00:06:04.000 Then I will not let the Democratic Party turn into a party where you have to go get a college degree as a passport to get into the party. 1.00

00:06:13.000 That's bullshit. 0.99

00:06:14.000 Did Tim Ryan read the college scam? 1.00

00:06:16.000 I don't know.

00:06:17.000 Maybe, no, he's pandering to your language here, JD.

00:06:20.000 He knows that he's in the deficit.

00:06:21.000 He's swearing like crazy.

00:06:22.000 I don't know why he's doing that.

00:06:24.000 What's the takeaway here?

00:06:25.000 Tim Ryan's campaign is floundering. 1.00

00:06:27.000 He's a liar. 1.00

00:06:27.000 He's a cheater. 1.00

00:06:28.000 He's deceitful. 1.00

00:06:29.000 He's lying about you.

00:06:31.000 He's lying about Ohio.

00:06:32.000 He would be no different than a type of senator.

00:06:36.000 I won't say he would be as bad as Bernie Sanders, but he would definitely be as bad as, you know, we could go through the list of every one of these senators of 87,000 new IRS agents, open borders, all that stuff.

00:06:48.000 Kind of a sister senator, a brother senator to Elizabeth Warren type, kind of of that kind of ilk, right?

00:06:54.000 Is that fair to say?

00:06:55.000 Yeah, I think that's exactly totally fair to say, Charlie.

00:06:58.000 And this whole thing that Tim Ryan is trying to do, where he pretends that somehow the National Democratic Party has abandoned him.

00:07:07.000 Tim Ryan has raised close to $60 million to put television advertisements lying about me, lying about my record, lying about his own record.

00:07:16.000 I think the only guy who's raised more money than him from National Democrats is John Fetterman, who, of course, can barely string a sentence together.

00:07:23.000 We saw that last night.

00:07:24.000 So it's really preposterous that Tim Ryan is trying to claim that he's sort of been abandoned by the National Democratic Party.

00:07:31.000 It's just not true, Charlie.

00:07:33.000 There's nothing, there's no ounce of truth to it.

00:07:35.000 Now, here's the really crazy thing here.

00:07:38.000 Tim Ryan says that he's not a culture warrior.

00:07:40.000 And I think it's an important point to make, Charlie.

00:07:42.000 We don't just want to stand for the economic interests of normal Americans.

00:07:47.000 That's, of course, important.

00:07:48.000 We want to protect people's jobs from China. 1.00

00:07:50.000 We want to get this inflation under control so that normal people can afford to go to the grocery store, can afford to go to the gas pump.

00:07:56.000 But we also want to stand for the values of normal Americans.

00:07:59.000 That's exactly right.

00:08:00.000 You know, Tim Ryan does things like he voted for the Equality Act.

00:08:04.000 Let's talk about what the Equality Act does.

00:08:06.000 It actually would force the government to strip funding for free and reduced school lunch funding if a rural Ohio school district didn't bend the knee to Joe Biden on the transgender issue.

00:08:18.000 He's voted to prevent doctors from providing care to babies who survive botched abortion.

00:08:24.000 So even as he says on the one hand, I'm not a culture warrior.

00:08:27.000 His actual record is that he fights the culture warrior aggressively.

00:08:31.000 He just fights it for the wrong team.

00:08:33.000 And I think the fact that he's trying to run away from that is pretty preposterous.

00:08:37.000 Now, let me just say one more thing, Charlie, about this whole idea that he wants to make Democrats the party of non-college educated people.

00:08:45.000 Well, I'm sorry to say, Tim, that ship sailed a long time ago.

00:08:49.000 And in your particular race, if you want to attract non-college educated voters to your cause, why don't you not call me a racist for daring to believe that we should have border security in this country?

00:09:00.000 That is not a value that non-college educated working class voters actually support.

00:09:05.000 They know that a wide open southern border hurts them more than anybody else.

00:09:10.000 So don't call me and everybody else a racist for wanting to secure that border.

00:09:14.000 And if you do, don't expect working class voters to flock to you. 0.94

00:09:17.000 They know you're a phony. 0.58

00:09:18.000 They know you're a fraud, and they know you don't have their interests at heart. 0.89

00:09:21.000 I'm telling you, everybody, over a period of time, you are going to grow to understand what I've been saying.

00:09:25.000 JD Vance is going to be one of America's greatest senators.

00:09:28.000 He's on the verge of it.

00:09:29.000 He needs your help.

00:09:29.000 It's JDvance.com.

00:09:31.000 $60 million of oligarch money has been coming into Ohio to try to displace him, but he's stronger than ever.

00:09:38.000 The polls are looking good, but we can't take anything for granted.

00:09:41.000 We really need to get behind JD Vance.

00:09:43.000 I've known JD for a while.

00:09:44.000 He's a great American.

00:09:45.000 I've been behind him in the primary.

00:09:47.000 That's JDvance.com.

00:09:51.000 The end of the year is right around the corner, and it's time for you to consider a change in your investment plan.

00:09:56.000 This is Charlie Kirk, and I strongly recommend you go right now and see my friends at PAX to review your investments.

00:10:03.000 They are the one firm I know that focuses on biblical, responsible investing and does not force you to invest in companies that literally attack Christian values.

00:10:12.000 If we want religious liberty in our country, we have to stop investing in companies that are trying to suppress our freedoms.

00:10:19.000 I love PAX Financial.

00:10:21.000 They manage some of my money.

00:10:22.000 I trust them.

00:10:23.000 And that's why before the end of the year, you need to text the word Charlie to the number 74868.

00:10:28.000 That's Charlie to 74868.

00:10:30.000 And someone with PAX Financial Group will connect you right away.

00:10:33.000 So take out your phone, text the word Charlie to 74868.

00:10:39.000 I trust them with my money, and I think you should trust them with your money.

00:10:43.000 That is the word Charlie to 74868.

00:10:48.000 They're a great operation.

00:10:50.000 Check them out today.

00:10:53.000 JD, talk about the issue of crime.

00:10:55.000 It seems to be something the Democrats just refuse to acknowledge.

00:10:59.000 And they went so all in on defund the police, on this equity agenda, all of this stuff.

00:11:06.000 Talk about Tim Ryan on crime and how the people of Ohio are seeing an increase of crime because of Democrat policies.

00:11:12.000 Yeah, well, first, Charlie, we have to take stock of the fact that, like with everything else, Tim Ryan has two presentations.

00:11:19.000 He has the campaign version of himself, and then he has the DC version of himself where he votes against law enforcement.

00:11:24.000 He votes against law and order.

00:11:27.000 He votes against public safety.

00:11:29.000 You know, we've talked about how he's proposed ending cash bail.

00:11:32.000 He's proposed decriminalizing all drugs, including the fentanyl that's killing people.

00:11:36.000 And unfortunately, the consequences of this stuff are just so easy to see in the state of Ohio and elsewhere.

00:11:42.000 So there's a small town probably about an hour from where I'm sitting right now here in Cincinnati, Charlie.

00:11:47.000 Beautiful, old-fashioned American town, incredible architecture.

00:11:51.000 Five years ago, they had a chronic homeless population of zero people.

00:11:55.000 I was talking to the police there just a couple of weeks.

00:11:57.000 Now they have a chronic homeless population of 400.

00:12:00.000 I was with my son, my two-year-old son in Columbus just a couple of months ago.

00:12:04.000 He gets up early, as a lot of kids do, and we were walking around downtown Columbus at about six in the morning.

00:12:11.000 Just people sleeping on the streets in every single shop.

00:12:15.000 You cannot walk down the street without being harassed by a person who's clearly mentally unwell, who clearly needs some help. 0.97

00:12:21.000 And of course, Democrats have somehow convinced themselves that it's compassionate to allow chronic mental health problems to just fester on our streets instead of getting those people the help that they need and getting them into a mental health facility.

00:12:34.000 So it's really causing some serious problems.

00:12:37.000 And of course, you see it statistically, Charlie.

00:12:39.000 I mean, the crime rate is up.

00:12:40.000 The violent crime rate is up.

00:12:42.000 Muggings, carjackings, murders, all of these things have gone in the wrong direction.

00:12:46.000 And what I find really interesting about this, Charlie, is I'm asked all the time by the media about gun control.

00:12:52.000 The question is always, well, we have all of these gun crimes.

00:12:55.000 What about creating new gun regulations?

00:12:57.000 And the counterpoint that I always make is, well, we didn't have any change in our gun laws over the last couple of years.

00:13:03.000 What we did have is a change where we decided to declare war on our police officers and let violent criminals out of prison.

00:13:09.000 That's what's causing the crime problem.

00:13:12.000 That's what's causing the violence problem.

00:13:14.000 That's what we need to reverse and go in the opposite direction, or we're going to lose our streets.

00:13:18.000 I mean, thank God.

00:13:19.000 I don't live in California.

00:13:21.000 I don't live in Philadelphia, but Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, if we keep on making bad decisions, they could be just as bad as some of those crime centers over the next five years.

00:13:32.000 I don't want that to happen.

00:13:33.000 And I don't think anybody in the state of Ohio does either.

00:13:36.000 Want to play a piece of tape here?

00:13:38.000 Cut 104, Tim Ryan pretending that he is a moderate to Ohio voters, but actually in reality, he presents himself as left of Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:49.000 Play Cut 104.

00:13:51.000 But you were characterized as to the right of Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:55.000 Do you think that that's accurate or no?

00:13:57.000 I don't think so.

00:13:58.000 You don't think so?

00:13:58.000 No.

00:13:59.000 I don't think so.

00:13:59.000 Okay.

00:14:00.000 You know, people say, oh, he's a corporate guy.

00:14:03.000 I voted against every tax cut that have been so lopsided.

00:14:08.000 I voted against every trade agreement since I've been in office.

00:14:11.000 I'm on the Medicare for All bill.

00:14:14.000 Medicare for All.

00:14:15.000 I mean, I'm, come on, just like me, young Turk person, which is a Marxist program.

00:14:22.000 Ohio deserves so much better than this, JD.

00:14:22.000 This is what he is.

00:14:25.000 Yeah, you're right, Charlie.

00:14:27.000 You hit on something really important about Tim Ryan's political career is he's so desperate to be liked by whoever his audience is.

00:14:32.000 Yes, that's exactly that'll really say anything.

00:14:34.000 I mean, he now says that he opposes Medicare for all.

00:14:37.000 He now says that he opposes so-called free college education.

00:14:41.000 In that very clip, he endorsed both those ideas.

00:14:44.000 That was only like three years ago when he was running for president as a far-left Democrat.

00:14:48.000 Now he's running in Ohio as sort of a faux MAGA Republican.

00:14:52.000 And so he runs away from those very positions that he held just a few years ago.

00:14:57.000 And you're right, Charlie.

00:14:58.000 I know you're in Arizona and I know you love Arizona.

00:15:00.000 I happen to think Ohio is the best state in the union, bar none.

00:15:03.000 We already have one really bad senator, Sherrod Brown, in the state of Ohio.

00:15:06.000 We can't elect another one in Tim Ryan.

00:15:08.000 So people, if you want to help me out, jdvance.com is the place to do it.

00:15:12.000 JDvance.com.

00:15:13.000 And JD, in the next segment, we have Blake, who I hope is going to be your partner in the U.S. Senate.

00:15:20.000 A liberal poll, a Democrat poll came out today and shows Blake Masters tied with Mark Kelly.

00:15:27.000 A Democrat poll.

00:15:30.000 And I will say this, Mark Kelly is a much better candidate than Tim Ryan.

00:15:34.000 Just all cards on the table.

00:15:36.000 You don't have to run up against an astronaut with 75 million bucks, 60 million and a fraud, but you're doing a great job, JD.

00:15:42.000 We're behind you.

00:15:42.000 Every single person in Ohio, we got a big Ohio audience.

00:15:45.000 We need to mobilize for JD, knock on doors for JD, make phone calls for JD, chip in if you can, JDvance.com.

00:15:51.000 He's going to be a great U.S. senator, but Tim Ryan is sneaky.

00:15:55.000 He does have a loyal following in Ohio.

00:15:57.000 He is going to pull out all the stops, but I really feel confident that JD is going to make this thing happen.

00:16:02.000 But we got to make sure we turn out on election day or vote early, vote, however you want, whatever.

00:16:06.000 Make sure it's secure.

00:16:07.000 I'm Election Day guy.

00:16:09.000 Whatever preference you have, we've got to get behind JD.

00:16:11.000 JD, thanks so much.

00:16:15.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:17.000 The southern border is wide open, and we have to tell the world about it.

00:16:21.000 Our team at Turning Point USA has been working over the last year to have a one-of-a-kind documentary all about the drugs, the guns, the crime, the criminals that are flowing across the southern border.

00:16:31.000 Our team at Turning Point USA has been working so hard on this through amazing frontline footage that shows the Border Patrol agents, shows people crossing the border, the illegal drug trade, the economic and societal fallout that illegal immigration has on the United States.

00:16:46.000 Every single state is a border state.

00:16:49.000 And we here being headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, want the rest of the country, want you all across America to see what we are living through in Arizona.

00:16:57.000 It's a one-of-a-kind docuseries available exclusively on salemnow.com.

00:17:02.000 That is salemnow.com.

00:17:04.000 You guys will see the poorest southern border wide open and what we can do to solve it.

00:17:08.000 If you want to learn about the border, this is your opportunity.

00:17:11.000 Brought to you by Turning PointUSA, available at salemnow.com.

00:17:18.000 Joining us now is the great Blake Masters, who has had more opposition thrown at him than any other candidate that I have seen in recent memory.

00:17:29.000 And he is now tied in the latest Democrat poll.

00:17:34.000 That's right.

00:17:34.000 The Democrat poll has Blake Masters tied Kerry Lake up four and Blake Masters tied.

00:17:39.000 I think that's actually right.

00:17:40.000 I think, I mean, look, Katie Hobbs is no astronaut.

00:17:43.000 Wouldn't you say, Blake, welcome back to the program. 0.93

00:17:46.000 She's no astronaut indeed.

00:17:47.000 I've been joking with Kerry. 1.00

00:17:49.000 I say, Kerry, I think Katie Hobbs is the second worst candidate in the whole country. 0.98

00:17:55.000 You have a legitimately appealing candidate you're running against.

00:17:58.000 He's super radical. 0.96

00:17:58.000 He's awful. 0.96

00:17:59.000 But I mean, let's just be honest. 0.98

00:18:00.000 It's not an easy race.

00:18:01.000 You're doing a great job.

00:18:02.000 Talk about your race.

00:18:03.000 What are you seeing on the ground?

00:18:05.000 Well, I do think we've tied it up.

00:18:06.000 We have the momentum.

00:18:07.000 You know, the Democrats, they thought they could just buy it.

00:18:10.000 Mark Kelly, they've spent 80 million bucks, you know, I think 30 of it attacking me.

00:18:15.000 They have to lie about me and slander me.

00:18:17.000 And then they also have to lie about him.

00:18:19.000 They're propping him up.

00:18:20.000 He's pretending on people's television screens to be some kind of center-right Republican all of a sudden.

00:18:25.000 I stand up to Joe Biden.

00:18:26.000 And it's like, what?

00:18:27.000 When?

00:18:28.000 I wish he did.

00:18:29.000 But of course, in D.C., he never does.

00:18:31.000 He's a rubber stamp for Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer's failed agenda.

00:18:35.000 And we've just been getting that message out.

00:18:36.000 And I think people are finally really waking up, right?

00:18:40.000 People are looking around and saying, am I better off now than I was two or three years ago?

00:18:44.000 The answer is almost always a resounding no.

00:18:47.000 Mark Kelly really has helped the Democrats.

00:18:48.000 He's done more than anyone to help Joe Biden drag this country and our state further and further in the wrong direction.

00:18:55.000 So it's tightening up.

00:18:56.000 We've got the momentum.

00:18:57.000 I'd rather be us than them right now, that's for sure.

00:18:59.000 Yeah, I totally agree.

00:19:00.000 And that's a Democrat poll.

00:19:01.000 And it's really incredible.

00:19:04.000 So, Blake, there's a lot of different issues going on.

00:19:06.000 You had a great debate and we had you on the program.

00:19:09.000 I think that was really kind of a turning point, if you will, in your campaign.

00:19:12.000 Would you agree?

00:19:13.000 As soon as you were able to kind of have a back and forth with Mark Kelly, would you agree?

00:19:17.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:19:18.000 Yeah, he can just get up on TV when I'm not there, right?

00:19:22.000 And he can just tell his lies, but it's way harder to get away with when he's got me center stage holding him accountable.

00:19:28.000 And so I think a lot of people, that was their first time they got to see me.

00:19:31.000 That was their first time they got to see him struggle to defend his record, which, of course, is indefensible and super left-wing.

00:19:38.000 So I think the debate was an inflection point.

00:19:40.000 Been gaining ever since, and we're just going to continue on this awesome trajectory right through the tape on November 8th.

00:19:46.000 Yeah, and Arizona is a very interesting state.

00:19:48.000 And out-of-state Democrat consultants have been coming in and spending a lot of money.

00:19:52.000 And now I think they're starting to realize that Arizona is actually more center-right.

00:19:57.000 I think Arizona is a center-right state.

00:19:59.000 I think it always has been.

00:20:00.000 People say it's purple.

00:20:00.000 I say, no, it's it's it's glimmeringly red.

00:20:04.000 Let's put it that way, right?

00:20:05.000 There's definitely a moderate streak, but there's some strong conservative values in Arizona, no doubt, freedom-loving, liberty-loving state.

00:20:12.000 And this is a very interesting video from Project Veritas Action, where the official campaign for Mark Kelly is training and instructing their canvassers to lie.

00:20:24.000 They can't beat you with the truth, Blake.

00:20:26.000 They have to lie that they're pro-life.

00:20:28.000 Cut 108 is a canvasser admitting Mark Kelly is lying about his stance on abortion.

00:20:34.000 Play Cut 108.

00:20:35.000 What if I came across a Republican and they like asked me if Mark Kelly is pro-life?

00:20:41.000 Yes.

00:20:42.000 Say yes.

00:20:43.000 I would say, I would say Mark Kelly is pro-life, but also pro-keeping the government out of our health care.

00:20:50.000 I don't know, something speaking like that, even though he's not pro-life.

00:20:55.000 Absolutely, he's not pro-life.

00:20:57.000 And then I'd go to something like, you know, after his wife isn't in a meeting, he values life so much.

00:21:04.000 I mean, this is really deceitful stuff, Blake.

00:21:07.000 This is a paid canvasser.

00:21:08.000 This is a paid employee.

00:21:09.000 This is not some fringe person where they're saying, yeah, let's just lie to voters.

00:21:13.000 Your thoughts, Blake?

00:21:14.000 That's what they've been doing.

00:21:16.000 It's what they've been doing his whole campaign.

00:21:17.000 And it is kind of shocking, I admit, to see this undercover video where they just admit it, right?

00:21:22.000 But it's just becoming all too clear.

00:21:24.000 All they have are lies.

00:21:26.000 They got a lot of money to tell those lies.

00:21:28.000 They've got a lot of paid field staff to go and propagate those lies.

00:21:31.000 But ultimately, I think the truth wins out.

00:21:34.000 I have the luxury of just needing to tell the truth. 0.99

00:21:36.000 And when we tell the truth about Mark Kelly and his record, surprise, surprise, it sucks. 0.97

00:21:40.000 And so Arizonans, they're feeling the pain from inflation and the border. 0.96

00:21:44.000 They want to make a change.

00:21:45.000 I have a contrarian opinion.

00:21:46.000 I live here in Arizona, obviously, and I know there are at least 200,000 people that believe this that might not be very political.

00:21:54.000 If I have to see another one of these nauseatingly rehearsed and scripted theatrical campaigns for Mark Kelly, I'm going to lose it.

00:22:03.000 I can imagine there's just going to be anti-Mark Kelly votes because if I have to say, I'm Mark Kelly and Washington, D.C. gets it wrong, and I stand up to Joe Biden.

00:22:12.000 People know that's that, we know that's not true.

00:22:14.000 You're lying to us.

00:22:15.000 I don't care how much money you put on television about it.

00:22:18.000 And then he says, I tell Democrats when they get it wrong and I'm against Republicans when they want to outlaw abortion federally, which is not even your position, by the way.

00:22:27.000 Send it back to the states.

00:22:28.000 Total fear-mongering.

00:22:30.000 And I look at it, I say, boy, this is a fragile candidate right now.

00:22:35.000 Very beatable.

00:22:36.000 Can't talk about the issues, running for the hills.

00:22:39.000 The trend is not his friend.

00:22:40.000 Your thoughts, Blake.

00:22:42.000 That's exactly right.

00:22:43.000 And, you know, again, he's going to try.

00:22:45.000 They're going to keep lying for the next 13 days, but they can't lie away this border crisis, right?

00:22:51.000 They can't tell lies and make people forget about the fentanyl or the crime.

00:22:55.000 I think homicide in Phoenix is up 50% since just 2019, right?

00:22:59.000 People feel less safe because you are less safe.

00:23:02.000 People feel like there's a border crisis because guess what?

00:23:05.000 There is a border crisis.

00:23:06.000 And so the Democrats, they've got, I mean, they actually, they didn't merely not do anything to solve these problems.

00:23:12.000 They caused these problems.

00:23:14.000 They caused the border crisis with Biden's horrible policies, right?

00:23:18.000 Policies that Mark Kelly was only too happy to support.

00:23:21.000 They caused this inflation by surrendering our energy independence, by making artificial or energy artificially expensive, and then printing six or seven trillion dollars.

00:23:30.000 Like what they think was going to happen.

00:23:32.000 They did this to us, and we are going to make them pay in November.

00:23:35.000 No amount of lies, no matter how elegantly spread on TV with all their millions of dollars, no amount of lies can erase what they've done to our country and our state in the last 21 months.

00:23:46.000 Paid Mark Kelly field operative continues in an undercover video thanks to James O'Keefe's Project Veritas Action, Play Cut 109.

00:23:52.000 I can't be too far-left-leaning, otherwise, that'll scare away a lot of those independents.

00:23:58.000 And he needs to get that's 40%.

00:24:00.000 Like, he can't win with just Democrat votes.

00:24:02.000 He has to play both sides.

00:24:03.000 40% of the people voting are undecided whether or not they're going to vote Republican, Democrat.

00:24:08.000 So, he's not going to outright say, like, all of the very liberal, even though you think he's going to do them anyways.

00:24:20.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:24:21.000 She's saying, do you got to play both sides?

00:24:23.000 It's so interesting.

00:24:24.000 It's so nakedly transparent and it's vomit-inducing, actually, where they know the political makeup of Arizona.

00:24:30.000 They have to create something synthetic because Arizona is actually not a liberal state.

00:24:36.000 Arizona is actually a center-right conservative state.

00:24:39.000 Your thoughts, Blake?

00:24:40.000 You heard it right there in the tape.

00:24:42.000 Mark Kelly, we've got to play both sides.

00:24:44.000 It's so fundamentally dishonest, right?

00:24:47.000 I don't have to play both sides.

00:24:49.000 I just have to tell the truth.

00:24:50.000 And that's what I've been doing in my campaign.

00:24:52.000 And the truth is, we've got a wide open southern border.

00:24:54.000 I'm sick of it.

00:24:55.000 Let's have some border security.

00:24:56.000 I'm tired of this crippling inflation, right?

00:24:59.000 That's throwing people out on the streets when they get evicted because their rent keeps going up and up.

00:25:04.000 We need to stop spending so much money and then also regain our energy independence, right?

00:25:09.000 I'm tired of the crime.

00:25:10.000 And by talking truthfully to Arizonans about these issues, right?

00:25:14.000 People won't agree with me on everything, but I think they're seeing I'm a real person talking about real issues in a truthful way.

00:25:20.000 Mark Kelly is the most astroturfed candidate in America.

00:25:24.000 He doesn't even believe anything, right?

00:25:26.000 He's just a frontman for this incredibly powerful and corrupt Democrat machine.

00:25:30.000 Again, I think they're surprised that their lies and all their multi-million dollar slander campaigns aren't working.

00:25:36.000 But I'm getting out there.

00:25:37.000 We're telling the truth.

00:25:38.000 We're seeing that the dam is broken.

00:25:40.000 Do you feel this, Charlie?

00:25:41.000 I mean, I feel it on the ground.

00:25:43.000 Totally.

00:25:43.000 And so I think it's going to be a red wave.

00:25:45.000 It's going to be really big.

00:25:47.000 And I could tell you, if I was a Mark Kelly consultant, I'd be very worried because, again, I watch a fair amount of sports, right?

00:25:54.000 I mean, I love college football. 0.93

00:25:55.000 And because of that, I'm subjected to all this ridiculous propaganda and nonsense.

00:25:58.000 And finally, some outside groups are coming to defend you, Blake, which is really heartwarming to see and actually attack Kelly.

00:26:03.000 But you only get about five or six or seven hits of an ad before someone gets a little tired of it, right?

00:26:10.000 And so I could tell you, they gave, they mobilized their best shot against you, Blake, in early September.

00:26:18.000 All that abortion nonsense, all that stuff, lying about your position, lying about all this stuff, trying to fear monger. 0.54

00:26:24.000 Right after the primary, they came in and attempted to carpet bomb you.

00:26:27.000 And now if you're a Mark Kelly consultant, you're looking around and you're saying, boy, what else do we have to throw?

00:26:31.000 And the answer is nothing.

00:26:33.000 You withstood their massive political blitzkrieg.

00:26:37.000 And now they're just going to have to recycle old attacks when you're now stronger, more popular, and you're able to then counter message one minute remaining, Blake.

00:26:46.000 That's exactly right.

00:26:48.000 That's exactly right.

00:26:49.000 I think they have nothing.

00:26:50.000 They truly don't.

00:26:52.000 And we're just saying, hey, what's happened to this country in the last 21 months under Joe Biden?

00:26:57.000 It's not okay.

00:26:58.000 It's not okay to treat parents who demand curriculum transparency.

00:27:02.000 It's not okay to treat them as domestic terrorists.

00:27:04.000 It's not okay for our FBI to go and arrest pro-life protesters who are peaceful and hit them with very serious federal charges.

00:27:11.000 Meanwhile, if you're a BLM or Antifa activist, you can do whatever you want and you won't be arrested.

00:27:16.000 You won't be prosecuted.

00:27:17.000 This is not okay.

00:27:18.000 But I think everybody I talk to, and this isn't just Republicans, it's independents and yes, also Democrats on the ground in Arizona.

00:27:24.000 People are just mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.

00:27:27.000 And so when everybody looks around, they have two choices, right?

00:27:29.000 Do they like the wide open southern borders and the crime and the fentanyl and illegal immigration and inflation?

00:27:34.000 Hey, if you like that, I don't know what's wrong with you, but there's a U.S. Senate candidate for you, right?

00:27:39.000 His name's Mark Kelly.

00:27:40.000 But if you think you and your family deserve better, and I know you do, we got to vote for change.

00:27:45.000 Get me in there to replace Mark Kelly.

00:27:47.000 I will actually fight for Arizonans and for our families.

00:27:49.000 We have a very significant Arizona audience.

00:27:51.000 I think it's our strongest state.

00:27:52.000 Everybody listening to this, we got to do something to help Blake knock on doors.

00:27:55.000 We got door knocking every weekend with Turning Point Action and Turning Point Pack.

00:28:57.000 Blake, can you please re-emphasize that line of attack?

00:29:01.000 I do hear it a lot, unfortunately, even from people in our audience.

00:29:04.000 We had one woman that says, Charlie, I did my research.

00:29:06.000 Thank you for having Blake on the program a couple of weeks ago.

00:29:08.000 I thought he was against Social Security.

00:29:10.000 After I did my research, I found out that he had the proper position.

00:29:13.000 Blake, we got to do this because that is an ad they are running nonstop, especially in Glendale, Surprise, Peoria, retirement communities.

00:29:21.000 Your thoughts?

00:29:22.000 Yep, it's Mark Kelly lying again.

00:29:24.000 You know, I've always been clean.

00:29:25.000 And they always take two seconds of out-of-context video.

00:29:27.000 Yeah.

00:29:28.000 They never show you the 20 seconds before or 20 seconds after.

00:29:30.000 If they did, you would have seen me say what I always say, which is, look, we're never going to cut Social Security.

00:29:36.000 Just not going to do it.

00:29:37.000 We will never pull the rug out from our seniors or from anyone who's planning on receiving those benefits.

00:29:43.000 Charlie, I don't even regard them as benefits so much as a public trust, right?

00:29:47.000 People have built their whole lives around relying on the federal government's promises that Social Security will be there.

00:29:53.000 So we have to protect it.

00:29:54.000 I'm looking for ways to save the system.

00:29:56.000 Now, does that mean that there aren't long-term challenges?

00:29:59.000 No, of course there are.

00:30:00.000 I think my three boys, they're eight, six, and two years old, by default, they might not be on track to receive Social Security, usually because of politicians like Mark Kelly, A, who's jeopardizing seniors' savings through this crushing inflation.

00:30:14.000 And B, these politicians get in office and they just raid the Social Security copters to pay for their demented spending prerogatives.

00:30:23.000 So I've said, hey, for people under 30 years old, let's, without changing the system, right, without messing with Social Security, let's incentivize saving.

00:30:31.000 Let's create a new class of private retirement accounts.

00:30:33.000 Don't tax the money on the way in.

00:30:35.000 Don't tax it on the way out.

00:30:37.000 Let young people build and save and invest over generations.

00:30:41.000 Maybe by the time they're 65, my boys in 60 years, maybe that will work so well they won't need to draw on Social Security and there's more resources there for the people who do.

00:30:50.000 But my commitment is to save the system.

00:30:52.000 We will never cut benefits.

00:30:54.000 If anything, I think we should immediately move to stop taxing Social Security benefits.

00:30:58.000 That way, your Social Security check will actually continue to buy what it's been buying.

00:31:03.000 It's Mark Kelly who's insecure, right?

00:31:05.000 The Democrats always attack us for what they actually are.

00:31:09.000 Mark Kelly knows that he's destroyed Arizona seniors' retirement by causing this massive inflation.

00:31:15.000 So what does he do?

00:31:16.000 He just lies about Blake and says, oh, he's going to take your Social Security.

00:31:19.000 Never.

00:31:20.000 We will never cut benefits.

00:31:22.000 We'll never pull the rug out from our seniors.

00:31:23.000 Everyone in Arizona, you got to get that message out.

00:31:25.000 There's a lot of people in retirement communities that are being propagandized with mail, with phone calls, with text messages, with TV ads.

00:31:32.000 It's their only line of attack they have.

00:31:34.000 They are so desperate.

00:31:35.000 Cut 105, Tucker Carlson, on why Blake Masters is different.

00:31:38.000 Cut 105.

00:31:39.000 You just can't overstate how deeply unappealing most politicians are.

00:31:44.000 Even in private, their lines are canned because there's nothing real about them.

00:31:50.000 Fundamentally, at the core, they're hollow.

00:31:52.000 Blake Masters is quite an exception to that sad rule.

00:31:57.000 He is interesting.

00:31:58.000 He thinks for himself.

00:31:59.000 He has ideas that, in the view of us, anyway, this country badly needs.

00:32:05.000 You guys can check out the latest Blake Masters documentary with Tucker Carlson Originals, but Blake Masters is a real person.

00:32:12.000 Blake, make the final pitch.

00:32:13.000 BlakeMasters.com.

00:32:14.000 We're 13 days out.

00:32:16.000 Let us hear it.

00:32:17.000 I am tired of seeing Mark Kelly represent Chuck Schumer in New York.

00:32:23.000 He's acting like the third senator from California.

00:32:26.000 He never acts like a senator for Arizona, and he promised he would, right?

00:32:31.000 There's two problems here.

00:32:32.000 One is his fundamental dishonesty.

00:32:34.000 Two years ago, when he was campaigning against Mark the McSally, Mark Kelly promised that he would be an independent.

00:32:39.000 He said I'd be some kind of moderate voice for everyday Arizonans.

00:32:42.000 It was a lie.

00:32:44.000 He got to D.C. and immediately started rubber stamping Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden's agenda.

00:32:49.000 So that's fundamentally dishonest.

00:32:50.000 I don't like being lied to.

00:32:51.000 I don't like when politicians lie to the people of Arizona, but the lying is only the half of it.

00:32:56.000 It hasn't worked.

00:32:58.000 Mark Kelly has presided over the biggest border crisis we've ever had.

00:33:01.000 He's voted in lockstep for these open borders policies that have welcomed four and a half million illegal aliens into our country in the last two years and have killed over 100,000 people with this wide open southern border with the fentanyl that's flowing through.

00:33:16.000 He could have blocked it as the deadlock tiebreaking vote in the U.S. Senate, and he didn't.

00:33:16.000 That's his fault.

00:33:22.000 He's not even a cinema, right?

00:33:24.000 At least cinema, God bless her, sometimes tells Schumer to go pound sand.

00:33:27.000 But Mark Kelly caused this border crisis.

00:33:29.000 He helped Joe Biden do it and he caused this inflation crisis.

00:33:32.000 Guys, if we give Mark Kelly even a few more months in office to further implement Biden's agenda, inflation is not going to be 13%.

00:33:39.000 It's going to be 23%, 25%. 0.60

00:33:42.000 This is the stuff that ruins countries.

00:33:44.000 And I don't want to see that happen to the United States.

00:33:47.000 This country is too great.

00:33:48.000 It's the greatest country in the history of the world.

00:33:50.000 We can't let it slip through our fingers.

00:33:51.000 We need Republican control of the Senate.

00:33:53.000 That might come down to Arizona.

00:33:55.000 So if you're in Arizona, please get out there and vote.

00:33:57.000 If you can go to blakemasters.com, kick in five or 10 bucks.

00:34:00.000 Let's go beat the Democrats and show them what real leadership looks like.

00:34:04.000 BlakeMasters.com.

00:34:05.000 Everybody, let's get behind Blake.

00:34:06.000 Arizona is the intersection point of all these dynamics.

00:34:10.000 We have to win in Arizona.

00:34:12.000 For all of our Arizona patriots out there, get the word out.

00:34:14.000 We got to help Blake Masters.
