00:00:23.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:24.000 Here we go.

00:00:25.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:27.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:29.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:32.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:35.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:36.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:38.000 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.

00:00:46.000 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.

00:00:55.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:03.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:10.000 You know, it's quite interesting.

00:01:12.000 People ask me, they say, Charlie, where are the best opportunities for Senate pickups?

00:01:16.000 I say, well, it depends how you define a pickup.

00:01:18.000 Because yes, of course, we hope Herschel Walker defeats Raphael Warnock and Blake Masters defeats Mark Kelly.

00:01:24.000 We hope Adam Laxalt defeats Cortez Masto.

00:01:27.000 But what if I told you we have a chance to get an actual Republican and an actual conservative of someone who calls herself a Republican?

00:01:34.000 I'm, of course, talking about the Alaska Senate race, which technically is not a pickup, but it actually is a very big pickup.

00:01:41.000 Where there is an Alaska Senate race nail biter, Wall Street Journal reports.

00:01:46.000 It's by Kimberly Strassel, who I believe actually lives in Alaska, so she has an authority on this topic.

00:01:52.000 And it is an amazing candidate who we have endorsed at Turning Point Action, who is running a really great race, a grassroots race, against Lisa Murkowski.

00:02:01.000 It's Kelly Schabaka.

00:02:02.000 And she joins us in just a second here.

00:02:04.000 But I want to just make one other point before I welcome Kelly, which is many of you are asking, where is all the Republican money going?

00:02:11.000 Answer.

00:02:12.000 It's not necessarily going to Blake Masters.

00:02:15.000 It's not necessarily going to Oz.

00:02:16.000 No, no, no.

00:02:17.000 McConnell is spending his money to defeat a grassroots conservative in Alaska to protect Lisa Murkowski.

00:02:23.000 And I'm going to ask Kelly all about that.

00:02:25.000 Kelly Schabaka joins us right now.

00:02:27.000 Welcome to the program.

00:02:28.000 I'm so happy to be with you, Charlie.

00:02:30.000 Thank you so much for having me.

00:02:31.000 I'm joining you from Anchorage, Alaska, where it's a balmy 38 degrees.

00:02:36.000 That's a very high temperature, at least for what's about to happen there.

00:02:42.000 Kelly, tell us about how your race is going.

00:02:44.000 It looks like, according to Fox News, Trump-backed Shabaka projected to defeat 20-year incumbent Senator Murkowski, but I'm very worried about your ranked choice voting.

00:02:52.000 Ranked choice voting is a very big problem.

00:02:54.000 How's your race going?

00:02:55.000 Tell us about it.

00:02:56.000 Well, it's looking really good.

00:02:58.000 Right after our primary in mid-August, there were multiple polls showing us tied 50-50 with Lisa Murkowski.

00:03:05.000 And then 538 came out just a couple weeks ago and said we now have a 53% chance of defeating Lisa Murkowski.

00:03:13.000 I think that that shows the grassroots are definitely mobilized to see a change.

00:03:17.000 That's what I'm hearing across the state.

00:03:18.000 I've traveled more miles in state than it takes to circumnavigate the globe.

00:03:22.000 People realize Lisa Murkowski has moved increasingly left throughout her 21-year career.

00:03:27.000 Project 538 says she votes nearly 80% of the time with Joe Biden.

00:03:31.000 That's a lot more with Joe Biden than she ever voted with President Trump.

00:03:35.000 We know up here, the Alaska Republican Party has censured her and removed her from membership.

00:03:39.000 Functionally, she's a Democrat in the state of Alaska, which is all the more perplexing to your point about why Mitch McConnell is investing up to $9 million in a smear ad campaign of lies against me. 0.98

00:03:51.000 To give you context, in her last election, Lisa Murkowski only raised $7 million.

00:03:56.000 So $9 million in Alaska is a huge amount of money.

00:03:59.000 This is probably the closest and least expensive Senate race in the nation.

00:04:03.000 And he's trying to impose on us who our senator is going to be.

00:04:07.000 I want everyone to understand that.

00:04:08.000 It's worthy of repetition.

00:04:10.000 $9 million that could be spent for Blake Masters or for Herschel Walker.

00:04:16.000 Mitch McConnell is not counting seats.

00:04:20.000 He is counting votes.

00:04:22.000 It is more important that he remains leader than Senate majority leader.

00:04:27.000 There is no other explanation for Mitch McConnell to pump in $9 million into Alaska to prop up a fake and a fraud that is Lisa Murkowski.

00:04:39.000 So, Kelly, tell us about ranked choice voting.

00:04:42.000 This is something that is spreading across the country.

00:04:44.000 It is very treacherous.

00:04:46.000 It's very confusing.

00:04:48.000 I think that if for whatever reason you are not successful, I believe it would be because of ranked choice voting.

00:04:54.000 Tell us about it.

00:04:55.000 Well, undercover videos exposed by Project Veritas show us that Murkowski's campaign staff colluded together to deceive Alaskans in order to implement ranked choice voting.

00:05:06.000 As they said in the video, they said, isn't this a desecration of democracy in order to rig the election system in your favor in a bid to try and preserve your Senate seat?

00:05:15.000 She would already have lost the election.

00:05:17.000 She would have lost the primary.

00:05:18.000 And even now, she's trailing me by nine or 10 points in this general election. 0.92

00:05:22.000 Her only chance at possibly preserving her 41-year Murkowski monarchy, where they've handed down this Senate seat like a birthright, her dad literally appointed her to his vacant Senate seat is by this ranked choice system.

00:05:34.000 So what happened is all of the candidates, there were 19 of us, regardless of party, we were all in the primary together.

00:05:40.000 The four of us who received the most votes, we go on to the general election.

00:05:44.000 There were three so-called Republicans.

00:05:46.000 Murkowski has the R behind her name, even though the Republican Party said she's prohibited from doing that. 0.97

00:05:52.000 Ranked choice election allows her to do that.

00:05:54.000 Any Democrat can call themselves a Republican.

00:05:56.000 And the fourth Republican has since suspended his campaign and thrown his weight behind me, as have a Democrat that was down ballot.

00:06:04.000 He did the same.

00:06:04.000 He said, we're not getting any results from Lisa Murkowski.

00:06:07.000 So functionally, there's now three of us, me, Murkowski, and a Democrat who got only 6% of the vote in the primary.

00:06:13.000 You can see where the Democrat votes are going.

00:06:15.000 When that Democrat falls off in the ranked choice voting, what happens is everyone gets to go in.

00:06:20.000 They get to pick their first candidate.

00:06:22.000 If your first candidate gets eliminated, like the Democrat will, your second choice candidate gets your backup votes.

00:06:28.000 And that's where the race then becomes a real nail biter, as Kimberly Strassel said.

00:06:32.000 And we either become 50-50 or 53-47, depending on the most recent polls.

00:06:38.000 That's where it becomes a nail-biter.

00:06:39.000 But your viewers can help us at kelly4ak.com.

00:06:43.000 When we get more of the message out about Lisa's voting record, we're seeing people convert on the doorstep.

00:06:48.000 My family and I have knocked a couple thousand doors across the state.

00:06:51.000 Our team has knocked tens of thousands of doors.

00:06:53.000 Just last week, I was in six communities from rural Alaska to the interior to here in Anchorage.

00:06:59.000 And when people understand that she's voted for Biden's red flag laws and the tiebreaking vote for the radical nominee who's shut down our oil and gas industry, you want to know why you're paying so high for gas prices and why inflation is so high?

00:07:11.000 Lisa Murkowski wrote that bill, Charlie.

00:07:14.000 She didn't just vote for it. 0.96

00:07:15.000 And she was the tiebreaking vote for the radical nominee put in place who's making those decisions.

00:07:19.000 And she did it knowingly.

00:07:21.000 This vote affects everybody across America.

00:07:24.000 It is often the tie-breaking vote that determines the outcome of the nation.

00:07:27.000 And you can help us change that Senate seat at kelly4ak.com.

00:07:31.000 Kelly4AK.com.

00:07:33.000 So in closing here, just kind of tell us about the themes that you're seeing on the ground.

00:07:38.000 I mean, it will be an amazing thing.

00:07:39.000 And then also give some instructions clearly about how people should fill out their ballot for ranked choice voting.

00:07:47.000 It's a little confusing.

00:07:48.000 We're getting a lot of messages.

00:07:49.000 Someone from Anchorage, someone from Fairbanks, they said, Charlie, I don't understand it.

00:07:53.000 Can Kelly walk me through it?

00:07:54.000 Sure.

00:07:54.000 And then just kind of talk about, I'll fill in the rest later in the hour of why ranked choice voting is so anti-against the promise of the consent of the governed.

00:08:03.000 But Kelly, tell us how they should fill out their ballot.

00:08:05.000 Super simple.

00:08:06.000 Rank Kelly Chewbacca number one.

00:08:08.000 And if you want to save time in the ballot box, just move to the next congressional race.

00:08:13.000 It really does not matter what you do with two, three, and four, but do not do Kelly Chewbacca one and then put Kelly Chewbacca on any of the other numbers because that invalidates your ballot.

00:08:23.000 They will throw it out.

00:08:24.000 So rank Kelly Chewaka number one.

00:08:26.000 If you want to rank another candidate after that, you can, but it won't matter because they won't actually ever get to those backup votes.

00:08:33.000 So I say you're just wasting time in the ballot box.

00:08:36.000 Put Kelly Chewbacca number one and move on.

00:08:38.000 That's the quickest and easiest answer.

00:08:40.000 And then when I say, you know, what is the top theme?

00:08:43.000 I think you put it simply like this, and this is the theme across America this year.

00:08:47.000 It comes down to who are you standing with?

00:08:50.000 Are you standing with the American people, the families that are being crushed, and the workers that are suffering?

00:08:56.000 Or are you standing with Joe Biden, the radical environmentalist and the special interests that have ties to this White House?

00:09:02.000 That's the decision in every ballot box this November.

00:09:05.000 And Alaskans have a choice.

00:09:07.000 Are you going to pick the senator that's standing with Alaska, our Alaskan families, and our Alaskan workers that are paying the price at the pump, our families that can't pick between paying for gas and groceries this week?

00:09:18.000 I know many of them.

00:09:19.000 Or are we going to pick the senator who's been standing with Joe Biden, confirming his radical nominees, and has her campaign almost exclusively funded by dark money special interests with ties to this White House, the lower 48 trying to buy our Senate seat?

00:09:34.000 That's the decision before Alaskans.

00:09:37.000 I'm the senator standing with Alaska, and Lisa Murkowski is the senator who has been voting with and standing with Joe Biden.

00:09:42.000 And we get to pick.

00:09:44.000 And I am guaranteeing you that this November, Washington, D.C. insiders, the establishment, and the machine that is trying to impose itself on the will of the American people is going to get a very loud message from grassroots Alaskans that they're going to be very surprised to hear, despite the millions and millions and millions of dollars they've pumped into our state.

00:10:04.000 And it's going to be something that is going to reverberate across the nation.

00:10:06.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:10:07.000 I'm at Kelly4AK.com.

00:10:09.000 Thank you.

00:10:10.000 Have a great day of campaigning and keep pushing hard.

00:10:12.000 I just want everyone to understand our candidates are getting outspent like crazy in Arizona and in Georgia and in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

00:10:19.000 And where is the Senate Republican money going?

00:10:22.000 Mitch McConnell is sending it to defeat a conservative, not defeat a Democrat in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

00:10:29.000 I hope everybody knows $9 million is getting diverted up to Alaska to defeat MAGA.

00:10:36.000 Kelly, thank you so much.

00:10:37.000 Everyone, support her.

00:10:37.000 She needs the money.

00:10:38.000 Thank you so much.

00:10:39.000 Kelly4ak.com.

00:10:40.000 Thank you, Kelly.

00:10:41.000 Thanks.

00:10:44.000 I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country, created by co-founder of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.

00:10:51.000 The folks at Job Creators Network defend and advance policies that help small business owners across America grow their business.

00:10:57.000 We talk a lot about labor in the media, and we're always responding to the complaints of labor.

00:11:03.000 And that's fine.

00:11:04.000 Obviously, it's important.

00:11:05.000 But who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy?

00:11:09.000 Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Job Creators Network, that's right, Job Creators Network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

00:12:01.000 That is jobcreatorsnetwork.com.

00:12:06.000 Now, there is a proxy war I could get behind.

00:12:09.000 There is one proxy war I think that we conservatives should be enthusiastic about.

00:12:14.000 The proxy war we should get behind is reminding the Democrat base that they used to be anti-war.

00:12:24.000 Like, hello, you guys used to not like sending arms halfway around the world to try to escalate things towards nuclear war.

00:12:30.000 Now they're all neoliberal warmongers.

00:12:34.000 I was at the campus of University of Texas Austin yesterday, as I've said a couple times.

00:12:38.000 And the issue of Ukraine came up.

00:12:40.000 And it's amazing.

00:12:42.000 Deep down, they all agree with the Tucker Carlson position, with our position, which is to ask questions.

00:12:47.000 Why are we getting money to Ukraine?

00:12:48.000 What does success look like?

00:12:49.000 Why are we doing this?

00:12:50.000 And I say, why is it that all your elected officials are pushing arms to Ukraine?

00:12:54.000 And one of them says, oh, no, no, no, they're not.

00:12:56.000 Bernie Sanders is standing up against.

00:12:57.000 I said, no, he's not.

00:12:59.000 I said, his AOC is Rashida Taliban, is Elon Omar.

00:13:02.000 They are all part of the war machine now because we stand with Ukraine. 0.97

00:13:07.000 It's the only voices that are dissenting are actually on the right, bizarrely enough.

00:13:11.000 This is exactly why Tulsi Gabbard left the Democrat Party.

00:13:16.000 This is what this is.

00:13:16.000 There is a massive fault line.

00:13:18.000 There is an internal Democrat revolt waiting to happen.

00:13:23.000 And the proxy war that we should support is not the war in Ukraine.

00:13:28.000 It's not the war in Yemen.

00:13:30.000 The proxy war we should support is the proxy war of Democrats rising up against their elected officials and saying, hey, we sent you to not, let's just say, embroil us in more conflicts.

00:13:43.000 The Democrat base, the infrastructure that put Barack Hussein Obama into office was an anti-war movement.

00:13:51.000 It was Michael Moore.

00:13:52.000 It was the celebrities.

00:13:53.000 It was the Iraq war, anti-Iraq war stuff.

00:13:56.000 And by the way, so many of their concerns were actually legitimate.

00:14:00.000 We never should have invaded Iraq.

00:14:02.000 Success was never definable.

00:14:04.000 Spent a trillion dollars.

00:14:05.000 Tons of lives lost.

00:14:06.000 PTSD veteran issues didn't get the oil in return.

00:14:09.000 It was all this sort of things that was going to say, we never should have invaded Iraq.

00:14:12.000 Massive mistake.

00:14:13.000 Trump says it.

00:14:14.000 Other people say it.

00:14:15.000 And so now there's this incredible clip, and it is raw, and it is real.

00:14:24.000 It's authentic.

00:14:25.000 It's such a nice clip for me to look at.

00:14:27.000 Nice is not a good word.

00:14:28.000 We shouldn't use the word nice.

00:14:30.000 It's too simple.

00:14:30.000 It is a beautiful clip to look at because it's the opposite of what I'm so used to seeing on the Democrat Party, which is synthetic.

00:14:40.000 Everything in the Democrat Party has become fake, artificial, manufactured.

00:14:46.000 And for once, I'm finally starting to see the Democrat grassroots have a little bit of life in them and no longer be astroturfed and holograms and vapor and smokescreen.

00:14:57.000 Finally, they challenge their celebrities and say you're a fraud.

00:15:02.000 So at a town hall with Alexandria Akaziokes, she was taking questions.

00:15:08.000 And a person of color, God bless him, I don't know who it is.

00:15:13.000 I only say person of color because I think that's the only reason that AOC felt not convicted to interrupt him.

00:15:19.000 He just went after AOC.

00:15:21.000 You're a warmonger.

00:15:22.000 You're the establishment.

00:15:24.000 You're getting us closer to nuclear war, of which I just want to applaud this young man for calling out the corporate fraud that AOC has become.

00:15:33.000 Play cut 84.

00:15:35.000 Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there's a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine.

00:15:43.000 There will be no neighbors if there's a nuclear bomb.

00:15:46.000 You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis. 1.00

00:15:51.000 You're a coward. 1.00

00:15:52.000 You're a progressive socialist. 1.00

00:15:54.000 Where are you against the war mobilization?

00:15:57.000 I believed in you and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.

00:16:03.000 I could tell you right now, AOC better really pray.

00:16:06.000 I don't think she prays.

00:16:07.000 What does she do?

00:16:09.000 Meditate? 1.00

00:16:11.000 Is that what she, what she thinks?

00:16:12.000 Whatever she does.

00:16:14.000 I don't know.

00:16:15.000 I hope she really contemplates that because that is a political death sentence to hear from a voter.

00:16:22.000 Nothing in politics is more powerful than betrayal.

00:16:29.000 Nothing.

00:16:30.000 When somebody states, you betrayed me, they will do anything to displace you from power.

00:16:38.000 Just ask Congresswoman Liz Cheney, how's she doing?

00:16:41.000 Or how about Peter Meyer?

00:16:43.000 How about John Kasich?

00:16:44.000 Is he still governor?

00:16:45.000 Is he popular?

00:16:47.000 Oh, the politics of betrayal gets raw.

00:16:50.000 It gets real.

00:16:52.000 And when he says, you're a fake, I believed in you. 0.99

00:16:56.000 Ooh, AOC, you better watch out, you warmongering fake socialist. 0.79

00:17:02.000 The proxy war Republicans should be supporting is not to give Ukrainian Nazis arms, of which we are doing in the Azov battalion.

00:17:09.000 No, no, no.

00:17:10.000 The proxy war we should support is to have the base of the Democrat Party challenge the new face of the warmongers, which is the squad.

00:17:21.000 Hey, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:22.000 When it comes to liberals in Congress, there's no way they would accept term limits on themselves.

00:17:27.000 And yet now they're fighting tooth and nail to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices.

00:17:32.000 Term limits for thee, but not for me. 0.96

00:17:34.000 Sounds completely hypocritical. 0.89

00:17:36.000 Of course it is. 0.94

00:17:37.000 But since when has that ever been a problem for the American left?

00:17:39.000 They do whatever they want to try to seize more power, even if it means purging the Supreme Court of its most experienced justices.

00:17:46.000 To no one's surprise, their new court purging scheme would remove long-serving, amazing justices like the super brilliant Clarence Thomas and the courageous Samuel Alito.

00:17:56.000 They would then replace these new justices with a rubber stamp and their radical agenda.

00:18:00.000 Since Democrats are working hard to pass court purging with term limits, we need to work even harder to stop it.

00:18:05.000 Or the Supreme Court, as we know it, will never be the same.

00:18:07.000 If you care about the integrity of the Supreme Court and don't want to see it taken over by political hacks, go to supremecoup.com.

00:18:13.000 That is supreme COUP.com.

00:18:19.000 I can feel it in my bones.

00:18:22.000 I could feel it.

00:18:23.000 I've been doing this a decade.

00:18:24.000 Actually, I've been doing it longer than a decade.

00:18:27.000 I really started in elections knocking on doors in the suburbs of Chicago for a bunch of rhinos when I was in eighth grade.

00:18:34.000 No, it was like seventh, eighth grade, 2008.

00:18:36.000 So I've been doing it for 14 years.

00:18:38.000 Geez.

00:18:38.000 My birthday's tomorrow, so it's like 15 years almost.

00:18:42.000 Wow.

00:18:43.000 15, 14 years.

00:18:45.000 And so I could feel it in my bones.

00:18:46.000 I've been through a lot of these things.

00:18:48.000 I have a feel on the ground, and I talk to our amazing activists at Turning Point Pack and Turning Point Action.

00:18:54.000 And I talk to them.

00:18:55.000 I ask them questions.

00:18:55.000 How does it feel?

00:18:56.000 What do you hear?

00:18:57.000 And I just talk to all people.

00:18:58.000 And I live in one of the most important states in Arizona.

00:19:00.000 And I just pepper people with questions, regular, everyday people, whether they watch the news or not, when you get coffee, when you go get pickup.

00:19:06.000 How do you feel?

00:19:07.000 And I'm telling you, I can feel it.

00:19:09.000 It's about to get out of control for Democrats.

00:19:13.000 It is about to get wildly out of control.

00:19:15.000 They are about to have their heads spinning.

00:19:19.000 When it's all said and done, I believe Democrat donors are going to be irritated, frustrated, mad, despondent, divided, that they spent all those hundreds of millions of dollars over the summer in their Napa Valley and Aspen and Martha's Vineyard fundraisers to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Shifty Schiff, who raised all this money, these pockets of resources, only at the last minute to have the people rise up and do something dramatic.

00:19:47.000 Now, I'm not resting on our laurels.

00:19:49.000 I'm not saying it's over, but I could feel it.

00:19:51.000 I see it.

00:19:51.000 I see the, it's kind of an interesting word when we're talking about Pelosi, the crumbs, if you will.

00:19:57.000 I see the little warning signs of the Democrat Party.

00:20:01.000 I see the fault lines.

00:20:02.000 I could see it happening in real time.

00:20:04.000 And these prognosticators, Nate Silver, who should be shut down as a fraud artist at 538.com, he lies for a living and is wrong all the time.

00:20:14.000 I can't believe people still take him seriously.

00:20:16.000 He's slowly changing his predictions, by the way, on 538.com.

00:20:20.000 He's considered to be the spengali of midterm or elections.

00:20:26.000 Like, oh, yeah, I could see things where they happen.

00:20:28.000 I'm very clairvoyant.

00:20:29.000 Like, okay.

00:20:30.000 If you just pull the thread a little bit, you see the Democrats unraveling.

00:20:34.000 I see it on the ground.

00:20:35.000 I hear it.

00:20:36.000 Now, the smart people are saying what we have been saying for quite some time.

00:20:43.000 All of a sudden, now we are seeing people say out loud, like, well, that's not exactly trending great.

00:20:51.000 And as Ernest Hemingway says, and it just seems to happen all the time, it is the great description of Republican politics of the conservative movement, which is things happen gradually and then they happen suddenly.

00:21:11.000 A couple months ago, we were very worried and things looked out of grasp.

00:21:15.000 And you got to wonder, were they actually ever out of grasp, or was it that the activist media was telling us they were out of grasp?

00:21:22.000 And there's one piece of evidence after the other that is showing the Democrat Party is imploding.

00:21:30.000 Independents are tracking in Republican directions.

00:21:32.000 Conservatives are going to show up in massive numbers.

00:21:35.000 And tragically and unfortunately, U.S. inflation hit 8.2%.

00:21:40.000 And the market, the last time I checked, was tumbling.

00:21:42.000 I could check it right now.

00:21:44.000 I bet it's a bloodbath.

00:21:46.000 Well, it's up a little bit.

00:21:47.000 Now it's up and it's down.

00:21:48.000 It was down 500 points.

00:21:49.000 Now it's up 800 points.

00:21:50.000 This is how you know you got funny money in your economy.

00:21:54.000 Did the Fed make an announcement?

00:21:57.000 How is it that last time I checked, it was down 400 points.

00:22:00.000 Now it's up 800 points.

00:22:02.000 What on earth could possibly cause that?

00:22:04.000 That's amazing.

00:22:05.000 Okay.

00:22:06.000 I stand corrected on that.

00:22:08.000 Literally, right before the show, I checked it and it was down 400 points.

00:22:12.000 Now it's up.

00:22:13.000 That's a 1,200-point swing.

00:22:17.000 What could possibly inflation is crushing people.

00:22:24.000 That's what it says.

00:22:25.000 Stock rose in volatile trading Thursday, recovering from steep losses in the session as traders assess the latest inflation data, what it means for the Federal Reserve going forward.

00:22:35.000 I mean, so it goes down by 800 points and then up by 800 points.

00:22:39.000 That's one of the more volatile days I think we've ever seen.

00:22:44.000 And it's starting to manifest in the polling.

00:22:49.000 This is how you know the Democrats are getting very worried.

00:22:52.000 They're saying that if you don't vote for our candidates, you're very insecure.

00:22:55.000 Al Sharpton, always brilliant.

00:22:57.000 Play cut 79.

00:22:59.000 I literally have black men calling my radio show since I don't know if I want to vote for Stacey Abrams.

00:23:05.000 Who would not be proud of Stacey Abrams unless you're so insecure as a man?

00:23:11.000 That's right.

00:23:12.000 If you don't vote for Stacey Abrams in the Georgia governor's race, you're insecure as a man.

00:23:19.000 Obama has made a decision not to campaign for Democrat candidates.

00:23:22.000 I wonder why.

00:23:24.000 Obama is saying that he's not really going to hit the midterm elections.

00:23:27.000 It's a very big tell.

00:23:28.000 I think he knows what's going on in more ways than one.

00:23:32.000 Obama has only obviously cared about himself. 0.91

00:23:34.000 He's a total and supreme narcissist. 1.00

00:23:36.000 Obama is also a very, very lazy person. 1.00

00:23:42.000 He does not work hard. 0.99

00:23:43.000 One of the reasons why I think we're going to defeat the left is they're lazy.

00:23:47.000 Anyone who's ever been around Obama, he does not work hard.

00:23:50.000 He just doesn't.

00:23:51.000 He's talented.

00:23:51.000 He's charismatic.

00:23:53.000 I don't think he's dumb. 1.00

00:23:54.000 I think he's evil and sinister, but he's so lazy. 0.99

00:23:58.000 Martha's Vineyard, why leave it?

00:24:00.000 As soon as he left the White House, it was all Netflix, book deals, smug condescension. 0.71

00:24:06.000 And then, of course, Tulsi Gabbard announces she leaves the Democrat Party.

00:24:09.000 Play cut 27.

00:24:11.000 Now, I believe in a government that's of the people, by the people, and for the people.

00:24:18.000 Unfortunately, today's Democratic Party does not.

00:24:21.000 Instead, it stands for a government that is of, by, and for the powerful elite.

00:24:28.000 Now, I'm calling on my fellow common sense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.

00:24:36.000 If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, then I invite you to join me.

00:24:47.000 And that has gone far and wide and very viral, where Tulsi Gabbard says the Democrat Party has become the party of warmongers.

00:24:56.000 The Democrat Party has become the party that no longer represents voters, but woke fringe special interests.

00:25:04.000 The Democrat Party is no longer a party that even pretends to represent their voters.

00:25:09.000 It's an oligarchy.

00:25:10.000 It's a defense of the few against the many. 1.00

00:25:15.000 If you vote for a Democrat Party, you're a sucker right now. 1.00

00:25:18.000 You are. 1.00

00:25:18.000 They're using you, so blatantly using you. 1.00

00:25:22.000 Cut 40, MSNBC admits the top two issues are ones that Republicans have a 30-point lead.

00:25:28.000 Play cut 40.

00:25:30.000 Said, when you look at our most recent NBC poll here and he asked folks, what is the single most important issue that's going to drive your vote in this year's midterm elections?

00:25:40.000 A combined 34% cite either jobs in the economy or inflation.

00:25:46.000 And you combine those two, that's the biggest single number you're going to get.

00:25:49.000 And on that question, the Republicans have a nearly 30-point advantage.

00:25:55.000 A nearly 30-point advantage.

00:25:58.000 Now, there's a journalist by the name of Terry Moran.

00:26:02.000 I don't think he's great, but he is very honest in this regard.

00:26:05.000 I want to play two pieces of tape from him.

00:26:08.000 Cut 10 is he admits, look, polls are broken.

00:26:11.000 So if you look at these polls, if it's close, it's going to be a Republican win.

00:26:15.000 It's like they're telling you that the polling industry is a fraud.

00:26:23.000 Maybe they should spend less time going after payday lenders and all these things that they focus so much.

00:26:29.000 Why doesn't?

00:26:30.000 Why don't we just for a second talk about how suppression polling impacts our behavior, our donations, our activism, our enthusiasm?

00:26:38.000 The entire thing is synthetic, and he knows it.

00:26:41.000 Play cut 10.

00:26:43.000 In this country and in other countries, polls are broken, right?

00:26:46.000 It is clear that lots of people on the right just don't answer anymore.

00:26:49.000 They were worse in 2020 than they were in 2016.

00:26:53.000 And so you look at those polls, it's close.

00:26:54.000 If it's close, it's a Republican win.

00:26:58.000 The polls are lies.

00:27:00.000 I just find it so funny because the entire ABC politics department pushes out these polls that they're trying to tell you are accurate.

00:27:08.000 And then their senior journalist basically says, yeah, you could just basically, if it's close, the Republicans are going to win.

00:27:14.000 By the way, he's right.

00:27:16.000 And so all these polls that we hear about, and by the way, one of the reasons they released the summer suppression polls against Oz, against Vance, against Johnson, against Bud, against Walker, against Laxalt, against Masters was why?

00:27:33.000 To get Republican donors not to believe the race is winnable.

00:27:38.000 They're suppression polls for donors.

00:27:41.000 That's not a poll.

00:27:44.000 That is a political operation.

00:27:46.000 There's got to be a massive upheaval in the way we do polling in this country because these races actually could have some sort of equilibrium with polling. 0.99

00:27:54.000 I'm sorry, actually, with funding, excuse me, if the polling over the summer would have been at least remotely accurate.

00:28:00.000 Remember, can we go look up one of those polls?

00:28:02.000 Actually, I could probably find it.

00:28:02.000 I have Real Clear Politics pulled up.

00:28:04.000 I really like Real Clear Politics.

00:28:06.000 They're fair.

00:28:07.000 And they're just kind of, they're an aggregator.

00:28:08.000 If you don't like them, I can't imagine what the complaint is about Real Clear Politics.

00:28:12.000 So let's just go back in time, right?

00:28:15.000 So back in, yeah, this is my favorite one.

00:28:17.000 Back on August 15th, I remember exactly where I was when this poll came out.

00:28:21.000 It had John Fetterman up 13 points.

00:28:25.000 I mean, anyone, it's not even, there's no way that's true.

00:28:29.000 John Fetterman up 13 points in mid-August?

00:28:32.000 No way.

00:28:33.000 John Fetterman up nine points in a USA Today poll.

00:28:36.000 No, we always knew that wasn't true.

00:28:39.000 But it was done to try to keep donors out of the Oz race, try to keep people on the sideline. 0.97

00:28:44.000 The same thing in the Ohio Senate race.

00:28:47.000 You go all the way back in time.

00:28:49.000 You go back to the early polls, Ryan up, Ryan up.

00:28:52.000 Or how about the Johnson race?

00:28:54.000 That one in particular, they wanted donors not to engage and they wanted to give up.

00:28:57.000 They do this to get you to stay on the sidelines.

00:28:59.000 Johnson is up in every poll.

00:29:01.000 In fact, this is going to show the fraud that the American polling industry has become.

00:29:07.000 We're out of nowhere.

00:29:08.000 All of a sudden, they're trying to save themselves because I think they're actually very worried that this thing is going to just get completely and totally out of control.

00:29:17.000 Which is the latest Marquette poll shows Ron Johnson up six points.

00:29:22.000 Yeah.

00:29:23.000 But then if you go back to the fraud poll that Marquette did back in August, it showed Mandela Barnes up seven points.

00:29:33.000 I can feel it.

00:29:35.000 Don't rest on your laurels.

00:29:37.000 Write down your 30 friends.

00:29:38.000 You're going to make sure you're going to go vote.

00:29:39.000 If every person in our audience did that, we could create a red wave.

00:29:42.000 How many doors are you knocking on?

00:29:43.000 Are you a precinct committee man?

00:29:44.000 How many phone calls are you making?

00:29:46.000 Are you able to give any money?

00:29:47.000 $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 to any candidate.

00:29:51.000 Are you fasting and praying every single week for your nation?

00:29:53.000 Are you encouraging your pastor to speak openly and boldly about what's coming up in this upcoming election?

00:29:59.000 Are you posting on social media?

00:30:00.000 Are you texting your friends?

00:30:02.000 Are you staying active?

00:30:03.000 Are you staying on top of things?

00:30:07.000 Or are you just kind of hoping things get better?

00:30:09.000 No, no, no, no.

00:30:10.000 Shoulder to the wheel, full court press, acceleration right now.

00:30:15.000 We have the Democrats on defense. 0.94

00:30:17.000 We need to create an annihilation event of the Democrat Party.

00:30:21.000 I want to just kind of briefly expand on something I was saying, which is what do you do?

00:30:27.000 Look, we are up against a moment.

00:30:29.000 A moment has presented itself, is the better way to say it, where we can have an annihilation event of the Democrat Party, and we should take advantage of that.

00:30:37.000 Make calls for candidates.

00:30:39.000 Write your homework: take out a piece of paper and write down 30 people.

00:30:46.000 And just throughout the next month, make sure they are voting.

00:30:49.000 Hopefully, securely, voting early in person or voting on Election Day, which I prefer.

00:30:53.000 I'm an Election Day guy.

00:30:54.000 I know everyone has their own way of voting, but boy, after what we saw in 2020, maybe you should go vote in person.

00:31:00.000 Just write down your 30 names and just go, one, did I get that person vote?

00:31:04.000 This is pure grassroots grittiness.

00:31:04.000 This is free of charge.

00:31:07.000 And maybe you say, oh, Charlie, 30 stuff, and then do 100.

00:31:10.000 You know, 100 people.

00:31:12.000 And say, hey, are you voting for this candidate?

00:31:14.000 Educate them on that candidate.

00:31:15.000 Get out the vote.

00:31:16.000 Become your own GO TV operation.

00:31:19.000 That doesn't require any money.

00:31:21.000 It doesn't require any infrastructure.

00:31:23.000 Just write down your names and just hit the pavement.

00:31:26.000 You could change the arc of history.

00:31:28.000 And you might say, oh, you know, it's not going to make a difference.

00:31:30.000 Wrong.

00:31:31.000 Stop being cynical.

00:31:33.000 Don't be apathetic.

00:31:34.000 I got mine lists even in my own little micro community.

00:31:36.000 You better believe I make sure people are turning in their ballots in Arizona and securely.

00:31:41.000 You better believe.

00:31:41.000 I follow up and say, Did you vote?

00:31:43.000 Did you vote?

00:31:44.000 Because look, yes, it's only 35, 40 people.

00:31:46.000 That was kind of what I maxed out at in the primary.

00:31:49.000 But I believe that if every person did that, or even 10% of people did that, the country would be saved.

00:31:56.000 And isn't it the moral thing to do to say, I want to do what everybody else would do, and hopefully it will spread ripples of goodness throughout the world?

00:32:06.000 Do not be cynical.

00:32:06.000 Don't be apathetic.

00:32:07.000 Write down those 30 names.

00:32:08.000 You're like, okay, Charlie, I've done that.

00:32:09.000 I got 100 people to go vote.

00:32:10.000 Praise God.

00:32:11.000 Good for you.

00:32:12.000 Then can you donate to campaigns?

00:32:14.000 If you can, I totally understand.

00:32:15.000 Inflation is crushing people.

00:32:16.000 The economy is in total shatters right now.

00:32:18.000 Totally get it.

00:32:19.000 Are you able to go volunteer for a campaign in addition to getting your friends to go vote?

00:32:23.000 Are you able to go maybe put up yard signs?

00:32:25.000 Can you go to an early Super Saturday brought to you by Turning Point Action at tpaction.com?

00:32:30.000 Are you able maybe to support local campaigns by just reaching out to them and saying, hey, is there anything you guys need?

00:32:36.000 Do you guys need assistance?

00:32:37.000 Do you need help knocking on doors?

00:32:38.000 What do you guys need?

00:32:39.000 Can you dedicate a weekend or two or three now to the election?

00:32:42.000 Because look, here's the thing.

00:32:43.000 On November 9th, my call to action is going to be over.

00:32:46.000 November 9th, it's going to be all about getting back to ideas and getting back to formulation of persuasion and governing and holding people accountable and all that.

00:32:54.000 So you got a short window.

00:32:56.000 A goal is a dream with a deadline.

00:33:01.000 And you got a deadline on November 8th.

00:33:03.000 The clock is ticking.

00:33:04.000 How many days we got to November 8th?

00:33:06.000 Like 26 days or something.

00:33:07.000 You got 26 days.
