00:00:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:07.000Thank you for the kind words and your prayers and support.
00:01:10.000Turning Point USA is leading the charge in educating the next generation on American exceptionalism, conservative ideas, conservative values, free markets, individual liberty, the Constitution.
00:01:34.000We are going full court press, everybody.
00:01:38.000And I mean, our team was just saying last night, you know, as we were up very, very late after the event, we were saying, man, like, this is going to bring us into the ground.
00:01:48.000Like, we are giving everything that we have, and that's the way it's got to work in an election season, especially what we're doing at Turning Point Pack and Turning Point Action.
00:02:01.000In fact, there are some new polls out as we wait for Steve Bannon in just a second here.
00:02:06.000In Michigan, Tudor Dixon, the amazing Tudor Dixon, former Real America's voice host, is within the margin of error against the wicked witch of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
00:02:16.000The Minnesota governor's race is tied.
00:02:20.000There is something happening right now.
00:02:22.000And by the way, these polls could still be underestimating the support.
00:02:24.000And something that we're going to be talking about throughout the hour and something I just want to warn everybody about.
00:02:29.000I am very worried that so many people are going to show up on Election Day, that they are going to run out of ballots.
00:02:34.000The lines will be so long, so intimidating, that they will be so overwhelming that it's going to probably be an issue if we do not put our recorders' offices on notice, the Secretary of State's offices on notice, and demand answers now, wherever you are across the country.
00:02:51.000Especially if you're listening right now in Pennsylvania, if you're listening in Florida, if you're listening in Georgia, if you're listening in Wisconsin, if you're listening in Michigan, especially though, if you're listening in Arizona, which is a circus of how we do our elections, Katie Hobbs, who's running in the race for governor, is administering her own election, is also the Secretary of State.
00:03:14.000Katie Hobbs just sent out 6,000 ballots without having any of the federal races on them or state races.
00:03:20.000I'm confusing one of the details there.
00:03:22.000So Katie Hobbs is supposed to oversee her own election against the amazing Kerry Lake, and she can't send out the right ballots.
00:03:29.000Everybody out there, we have to put the pressure on it this moment.
00:03:32.000We are 18 days out to make sure that we have plenty of ballots, to make sure that the lines will be processed quickly and fairly, because I'm very afraid that the lines are going to be so long, the enthusiasm will be so overwhelming that it's going to have a deterrent effect because people do not trust mail-in voting or absentee balloting.
00:03:50.000We need answers now from Stephen Richard.
00:03:54.000We need answers from our local recorder's office.
00:03:58.000And I'm telling you, what's happening with Steve Bannon, what's happening with all these different things across the country is only going to galvanize our base.
00:04:04.000It's going to only increase our turnout.
00:04:06.000But I do not want to have to toast the Charlie Kirk show on Election Day, where all of a sudden we're going to be talking about our show.
00:04:14.000And I'm going to be getting email after email.
00:04:16.000Charlie, they just ran out of ballots in Maricopa.
00:04:17.000Charlie that just ran out of ballots in Sun City.
00:04:19.000Charlie, they just ran out of ballots in Fulton County.
00:04:21.000Charlie, they just ran out of ballots in Pennsylvania.
00:04:25.000Because are the local election offices prepared for a double or triple midterm model turnout of the most fired up conservative base of independents, of mama bears, of parents that we've ever seen?
00:04:40.000Because early voting numbers in certain states are significantly down, especially in Arizona because no one trusts the elections in Arizona because you have all these smug, arrogant left-wingers that are running the elections that don't answer questions directly and instead condescend you.
00:04:53.000So people say, you know what, forget it.
00:05:06.000Are we prepared for the tsunami that could be happening?
00:05:10.000One way that they could stop the tsunami, one of the ways that they could stop this overwhelming movement is by saying, oh, we ran out of ballots or the lines are four hours.
00:05:21.000It's a very huge, it's a massive concern.
00:05:24.000Everybody I'm talking to, I've seen a couple people that have emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com, say, Charlie, I plan to show up on Election Day.
00:05:30.000Well, look, I could tell you, because of the way Arizona does their elections, they've got rid of precinct voting that you're about to see something massive.
00:05:38.000Do they have the staff, the personnel, the ability?
00:05:40.000And by the way, in Arizona, it's so stupid.
00:06:07.000You see, if I was the Democrats, the way that I would stop the red wave is I would have every single vote in person place woefully under-resourced, tragically underprepared.
00:06:16.000I would not have the right staff, the right personnel.
00:06:19.000I would have chaos happen on election day.
00:06:22.000Is the surprise or is the trick up the sleeve of the Democrat Party have it so that you get super frustrated when you show up on election day?
00:07:10.000But what about the two out of four Republican?
00:07:11.000Someone that's paying too much in gas, that knows that they should vote every election cycle, makes a habit out of it, has three kids yelling in the back of the car, and they say, okay, I got to go vote.

00:08:34.000Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor.
00:09:40.000I think people got to really talk about this and reach into their heart of whether it's set up to do it and make their decision by voting early.
00:09:49.000Yeah, we've been talking about that a lot on this program.
00:09:51.000And I say, look, if you got to vote early, if you don't want to wait long in lines, then do it.
00:10:08.000I know this, the Stephen Richard character, Maricopa County recorder, Katie Hobbs, who's the Secretary of State over her own election, which should be illegal and not allowed in the state of Arizona.
00:10:18.000I could just see the last October surprise is the clogging of the MAGA wave, if you will, is trying to blunt it, confuse it, throw a little smokescreen where we might be at lunchtime on election day and we might be getting reports across the country.
00:10:31.000Charlie, I tried to vote to four-hour wait.
00:10:33.000We have to get ahead of this and warn it and put these people on notice that this is not acceptable.
00:10:38.000So, Steve, what keeps, you know, what drives you to keep going?
00:10:41.000You've been attacked from every possible direction from the Mueller investigation to the Senate Intelligence Committee to the state of New York to the Department of Justice.
00:10:50.000And you just keep fighting and you're focused solely on Election Day as the Democrats' Judgment Day.
00:10:55.000You know, people complain all the time to me, Charlie, things are so tough, and you never let that get to you.
00:11:16.000And, you know, I served this country in a formal capacity at the early stages of my career in my early 20s.
00:11:22.000And after I was fortunate enough to make some money, I've decided to serve my country ever since I really met Andrew Breitbart right after the financial collapse.
00:11:30.000I met Andrew a couple of times around the financial collapse of 2008.
00:11:34.000And the reason I did it, I made a movie then called Generation Zero.
00:11:38.000It's about how Generation Zero is going to get wiped out.
00:11:41.000What keeps me motivated, quite frankly, is you, Pesobic, the people at Turning Point.
00:11:46.000I see this generation coming up, and we have an obligation to bequeath this generation the same constitutional republic with the same basic economic opportunities that were bequeathed to us.
00:12:00.000I had, you know, my dad didn't make a lot of money, but we had a family of five, and my mom was a homemaker.
00:12:05.000It was kind of a, I look back at it, it was an absolutely golden childhood.
00:12:08.000I had every break in the world, and it was just terrific.
00:12:11.000And we want to provide that and make sure that I'm part of that generation that hands that off.
00:12:17.000And so, what does it, that we work seven days a week here at the war room, 18, 20 hours a day, is simply that we owe our previous generations to bequeath to you guys, the up-and-coming next generation, really the people under 40, the same country we had.
00:12:34.000In fact, starting, as you remember, after the election was stolen in November of 2020, starting around January 20th, when Biden stepped in, we have long odds.
00:12:44.000All Wall Street's against us, the university's against us, big tech's against us, Hollywood, the Uniparty, the Globalists, the World Economic Forum.
00:12:52.000But we've got the American people, and this participatory populism gets bigger every day.
00:12:57.000And the inclusive nature of it gets bigger every day.
00:13:00.000And I see guys like you and all these young people picking up the baton.
00:13:04.000I see the story in the Federalists that now Conservative Inc., you know, says we're not conservatives.
00:13:32.000And if we converge all the forces and people come out and we do those things that you're talking about in Arizona, we got a lot on the table we could lose and not close on.
00:13:44.000And that's what keeps me motivated every day, brother.
00:13:47.000What happened to you, Steve, is only going to fuel our fire.
00:13:49.000I could speak to our audience all across the country.
00:13:52.000It's so wrong when you see these criminals, these legit criminals on the left, Peter Struckstroke, Smirk, James Comey, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, Hunter Biden, and they walk scot free.
00:14:03.000And you take advice from your legal counsel, and then they go after you and try to persecute you in a Soviet show trial style.
00:14:12.000Final call to action for our audience, because some people say, okay, Charlie, I'm going to vote.
00:14:21.000The precinct strategy, go become a still time to be a poll worker, a poll watcher, to go join Melody Jennings and the people watching the boxes to get out the vote, to do phone banks across the country.
00:14:45.000That's where all over Charlie, huge front page story in the Arizona Republic last week, trying to tie Charlie to illegal political activities.
00:14:53.000It's everybody, whether it's Project Veritas, turning point, they're coming for everybody.
00:14:58.000So we just have to, the way we do this is victory.
00:15:07.000It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be able to execute upon a political annihilation event of the Democrat Party and put them into a Democrat civil war for a generation.
00:15:26.000Are you like every one of us that thinks our country has gone nuts, whether it's Russia Gate market crashes or selling oil to China or this insane inflation?
00:15:35.000Well, right now, you need a financial mind who understands your concerns, but at the same time, as a Christian worldview of money.
00:15:42.000That's why you should talk to my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:15:45.000Look, I've given my money to PAX Financial to manage.
00:15:47.000If it's good enough for me, I think it's good for you.
00:15:50.000Like all of us, they have concerns, but they also have hope.
00:15:52.000In this market, you must have a financial person who shares your hope and at the same time can help you with biblical responsible investing, B-R-I, biblical, responsible investing.
00:16:03.000That's why I want you to text the word Charlie to 74868.
00:16:08.000That is Charlie to 74868 to connect with my friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:16:20.000Text Charlie to connect with my great friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:16:27.000If you live in a state like Georgia or Arizona or Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, it's worth a kindly written email but focused email asking your local officials if they are prepared to have the infrastructure and the personnel to be able to facilitate a massive red wave on election day.
00:16:49.000So for example, in Arizona, they do all this goofy stuff.
00:16:51.000And Tyler Boyer from Turning Point Action does such a great job of explaining it.
00:16:55.000From the best of my knowledge, and he's educated me, and Austin Smith, who's going to be a new state rep in Arizona, has educated me as well.
00:17:02.000Obviously, we're headquartered in Arizona.
00:17:04.000Is that they've got rid of precinct voting and it's now voting center.
00:17:08.000And it's conceivable, these voting centers, there's less of them, less places to go vote.
00:17:13.000It's conceivable that thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people are going to show up across the valley and they have to print ballots.
00:17:22.000They have to literally create ballots at the voting center to then facilitate the people that are showing up in record numbers.
00:17:31.000I do not trust the Arizona Board of Elections.
00:17:34.000I do not trust the Georgia Board of Elections.
00:17:36.000I do not trust the Pennsylvania Board of Elections.
00:17:38.000I don't trust any of these to be able to facilitate this massive red wave.
00:17:43.000And so someone emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com, and they said, on election day, I'm bringing a fold-up chair and staying as long as it takes.
00:18:26.000Number two is we have to put our election officials on notice and repeatedly ask questions and repeatedly and incessantly put them out in public and say this.
00:18:37.000For example, I tweeted Stephen Richer, who is, I think he's the recorder, his official title in Maricopa.
00:18:42.000I said, hey, Stephen Richer, mail in numbers are way below 2018, which means we will have a tsunami at the polls.
00:18:50.000Can you guarantee every voter on Election Day will have a ballot?
00:18:53.000Will you have enough ballot paper, backup printers, technicians, so that no one goes without a ballot?
00:18:58.000We need to keep this narrative going because I'm seeing every single fundamental.
00:19:02.000And I'm telling you, the Democrats are running out of time to be able to execute on an October surprise.
00:19:07.000The subpoena on the January 6th committee didn't work.
00:19:27.000So what happens all of a sudden on election day when people that are upset with inflation and crime and the southern border invasion, they want to go vote for Carrie Lake and Blake Masters, and the infrastructure itself is not ready.
00:19:40.000And so, look, if you have the time or if you are at all worried, I do not recommend voting by mail, but there is an argument that if we can get 10 or 15% of our base to vote in person and early, yes, there is a risk there.
00:19:55.000It's not the worst thing in the world.
00:19:58.000Someone replied to my tweet where they said, stagger the votes.
00:20:00.000By that, I mean vote early in person from next Monday to the 31st, then have the last avalanche of votes on election day to put them away.
00:20:07.000And I don't necessarily disagree with that.
00:20:09.000I just don't trust early voting as much as I trust game day voting.
00:21:01.000You got Carrie Lake up against, you know, the wine mom, Katie Hobbs.
00:21:05.000You got an incredible avalanche of support that is growing and expanding and is solidifying and strengthening.
00:21:11.000The only thing the Democrats have left is to try to ruin Election Day itself.
00:21:16.000And so, you know, someone said here, well, Charlie, what do you mean they print ballots?
00:21:19.000Yeah, I mean, just so you know, when you show up on game day on election day in Arizona, they're literally printing new ballots for you.
00:21:27.000So if there's 500 people in line at a voting center, they got to print new ballots for every single person that votes on game day, every single one.
00:23:06.000But some people say, Charlie, what if I get a mail-in ballot and I want to submit that ballot?
00:23:10.000Well, look, then make sure you show up and submit that ballot, not in a Dropbox, but to somebody and actually see them process it at a voting processing center.
00:23:20.000Shelly says, don't most people have mail-in ballots they can simply drop off to take and yet drop off in person?
00:23:25.000Yes, but a lot of you decided not to do that in the primary, God bless you, where you put an X through the ballot, you show up, and then you vote with a ballot they produce for you on election day.
00:23:36.000Someone says here, Bob, why can't it be demanded that for every precinct there needs to be the same amount of ballots that equal what is on the votes register?
00:24:21.000When you put all of your eggs in the game day basket, just rationally, you increase the likelihood of them being able to see our, we are broadcasting our strategy to them.
00:24:31.000And I'm not saying it's a bad strategy.
00:24:33.000I'm saying we have to put them on defense now in every single state.
00:25:09.000You might be able to get a couple-hour injunction extending it.
00:25:12.000But once it's a once people are deterred, they're deterred.
00:25:16.000I just want you to imagine the visual of someone who's upset about gas prices, pornography in schools.
00:25:22.000She has a couple of kids and she votes passively and she wants to vote.
00:25:27.000Shows up on election day, her suburban van, kind of, you know, the typical van mom, and she has a couple kids that are just rambunctious in the back seat.
00:25:35.000She pulls into the parking lot and there is a line around the block.
00:25:39.000And she gets out and she asks, How long have you been waiting?
00:25:42.000Well, they ran out of supplies and they don't really know what's on here.
00:25:45.000And you can't fault the mom for saying, forget it.
00:25:49.000That would be a catastrophe on Election Day.
00:26:03.000The one thing that could still go wrong is the plumbing of elections.
00:26:06.000And I think they're going to try to intentionally clog it.
00:26:09.000These people are not trustworthy at all.
00:26:12.000And this is the one risk in game day voting: if they know we're all going to show up on game day, then why wouldn't they try to prevent our strategy?
00:26:22.000So someone says this: it depends what state.
00:26:24.000So if I take my absentee ballot in person, do the X it out and give me a new ballot?
00:26:29.000Can I use my old ballot as my sample ballot?
00:27:19.000Yeah, that's the other thing, guys, is that if you are, and we're going to talk about this leading up, if you are voting in person and you start to see unfolding chaos, try to actually be a problem solver and don't just complain about it.
00:27:32.000Say, hey, do you guys need more volunteers?
00:29:35.000And look, I'm not trying to tell you how to vote, but I'm telling you that if you want to vote early and in person, that is better than not voting at all.
00:29:45.000I will never shame anyone or scold anyone.
00:29:46.000And by the way, someone said here, Charlie, I'm 88 and disabled and really struggle getting around.
00:30:02.000Someone said here, listening to your show this morning about the traffic jam, how the precinct voting centers will likely run out of Republican ballots.
00:30:08.000Well, it's not even a matter of running out of Republican ballots because there's no Republican ballots, but in Republican areas, they're going to run out of ballots.
00:30:16.000Thank you for alerting us, even though we have to take out mail and ballots to these voting centers and wait and observe that they have to properly process our ballot.
00:30:25.000So if, for example, if you take in a mail and voting ballot and you say, I no longer want it, and you surrender it and they put an X through it, then they have to go print you a new ballot.
00:30:34.000Lynn says, Charlie, here in Minnesota, you could go in person, take a ballot at home, have it signed by another registered voter that they saw your ballot before, then watch you sign your failed ballot, have it dated before honor election day, then walk into City Hall in my case.
00:30:52.000That's a lot of work, but God bless you for that.
00:30:56.000Charlie, I'm working the polls on election day first time.
00:30:58.000It was strongly suggested that I have to vote early.
00:31:00.000The reason being here in Red Virginia, if we have to red part of Virginia voting early, our money resources go to the blue part of the state to help turn it red.
00:31:10.000We have to have a massive media campaign, tweets, social media, letters, emails, bombarding, respectfully, the offices of the people that administer these elections and get them on the record publicly that they have enough people.
00:31:24.000Tell us how, do you have enough printing supplies?
00:31:26.000Do you have enough people, enough personnel?
00:31:29.000So, for example, Republicans lead by expanding margin on generic ballot, 48.4% to 43.4%, according to big data poll.
00:31:39.000When the Republicans have a 5.1% generic ballot lead and early voting is now down, I'm telling you, you are going to see something on Election Day that would make a presidential-style turnout.
00:31:52.000Because look, here's the thing is that a lot of you, maybe not a lot of you, let me rephrase that.
00:31:57.000A lot of gender Republicans used to vote by mail, and that's not happening anymore.
00:32:01.000So a lot of people are saying, yeah, I'm just going to show up on election day.
00:32:27.000It's a matter of how bad do you want it.
00:32:29.000Something tells me there's not going to be super long lines in Democrat areas.
00:32:32.000Something tells me that if you're a Republican in a Democrat area, maybe in downtown Phoenix, you'll be able to waltz right in and vote and have no problem.
00:32:38.000Something tells me, though, that in Cave Creek or in Scottsdale or in rural Georgia or in central Pennsylvania or in western Michigan or in northern Wisconsin, there's going to be lines and lines and lines and lines.
00:32:56.000It's another thing to not even have any idea how to facilitate it and have the people that otherwise would vote be completely deterred and turned away.
00:33:06.000Charlie, in regard to the potential ballot shortage, voters who receive a mail-in ballot have an official ballot in hand.
00:33:11.000It could be filled out and handed out at the voting precinct.
00:33:13.000This depends on your state, by the way.
