00:01:35.000 This is not going to be a slow A couple of news weeks, everybody.

00:01:39.000 We have this week one of the most important presidential debates in American history.

00:01:47.000 Nixon-Kennedy was the first in the television era, and that's the one that most people remember.

00:01:53.000 Most debates actually don't move the dial much.

00:01:55.000 It's more of a television-type spectacle, and both sides hear what they want to hear, and they move on.

00:02:03.000 I think back to the biggest presidential debates.

00:02:05.000 The Obama-McCain first debate was a big one because there was a lot of worry or concern.

00:02:11.000 Can Obama perform?

00:02:12.000 And Obama did perform against McCain, who, of course, I'm not a big fan of either.

00:02:16.000 The Romney-Obama debates were somewhat well-watched.

00:02:19.000 Romney actually won the first debate against Obama.

00:02:23.000 The Trump-Hillary debates were significant, but nothing comes even close to what we are going to see this week on Thursday.

00:02:32.000 Now, first, let's make sure we understand the ground rules.

00:02:34.000 This is going to be happening on CNN.

00:02:36.000 How CNN ended up getting this debate is a little bit frustrating to me.

00:02:42.000 They say, well, it's one of the networks that hosted primary debates in the past.

00:02:48.000 Well, CNN never should have been hosting primary debates in the past.

00:02:52.000 And Jake Tapper is going to be one of the moderators.

00:02:56.000 Now, we know that Jake Tapper hates Donald Trump.

00:03:01.000 We know that Jake Tapper has pushed some of the biggest lies and falsehoods and peddled them over the last couple of years.

00:03:09.000 Now, this debate is consequential for many reasons.

00:03:13.000 The first of which is, what are we to make of this race?

00:03:17.000 This is the earliest presidential televised debate in modern history.

00:03:22.000 Usually debates are in September or October.

00:03:25.000 Joe Biden wanted the earlier debate.

00:03:28.000 Joe Biden wanted the summer debate and Trump was happy to agree.

00:03:32.000 Now, whether that was wise or not remains to be seen.

00:03:35.000 However, I do love it for one reason.

00:03:38.000 I love that Donald Trump is playing to win.

00:03:40.000 He is not playing it safe.

00:03:42.000 Donald Trump is up in the polls.

00:03:44.000 Donald Trump has an amazing movement.

00:03:45.000 Donald Trump is raising lots of money.

00:03:48.000 Wouldn't it have been wise for Donald Trump to say, no, I'm not going to debate you, similar to what he did in the primary campaign?

00:03:56.000 No, Donald Trump is playing to win.

00:03:57.000 That is the best argument, the best way to view a summer debate for Donald Trump v. Joe Biden.

00:04:04.000 But Joe Biden sees in his internal polling that he is significantly behind Donald Trump.

00:04:11.000 So he said, you know what?

00:04:12.000 I'll call your bluff, Donald.

00:04:13.000 Let's go do a summertime debate.

00:04:16.000 We've never seen anything like this.

00:04:18.000 And it's really going to be a two-on-one debate.

00:04:21.000 It will be Jake Tapper and Joe Biden against Donald Trump.

00:04:25.000 Now, there are several traps that Donald Trump must be aware of going into this debate.

00:04:32.000 The first trap is Joe Biden is going to be calling him a felon relentlessly.

00:04:38.000 Joe Biden's entire debate strategy is going to be to try to get Donald Trump off his game and try to get Donald Trump upset, try to get him off balance, and try to make him lash out.

00:04:51.000 Donald Trump has to know this going into it, and I believe the President does know this.

00:04:56.000 Joe Biden is going to do several backwards-looking attacks.

00:04:59.000 Both Biden and CNN will hit Trump over January 6th, over COVID, over vaccine stuff, over the New York case, because debating over the events of Joe Biden's presidency will be very tough.

00:05:10.000 In my opinion, Trump should avoid taking the bait.

00:05:13.000 He can respond, but the responses should be quick.

00:05:16.000 If I were to give President Trump debate prep, it is focus, of course, On the core elements of the failure of Joe Biden's presidency, but end every single statement with a question back to Joe Biden that puts the pressure on him to defend it.

00:05:35.000 For example, talk about how the border is open.

00:05:38.000 We have migrant crime, the murder of Lake and Riley, the murder of Rachel Morin, the abduction of the girls in Indiana, the abduction of the girl and the raping and the murdering in Houston. 0.91

00:05:47.000 Go through all that and then finally conclude and say, Now, Joe Biden, why have you decided not to secure the border?

00:05:54.000 And just so I'm curious, how many people have come across the border under your watch?

00:05:59.000 Give us an answer.

00:06:00.000 The floor is yours.

00:06:02.000 Do you think Joe Biden would even be able to answer that question?

00:06:05.000 When it comes to the economy, say, Joe Biden, how much has the average price of home gone up just approximately?

00:06:12.000 I know this is not a pop quiz.

00:06:14.000 Under your leadership.

00:06:16.000 How much more expensive are homes under your leadership?

00:06:18.000 Do you know the answer to this?

00:06:20.000 And Joe Biden, of course, doesn't know.

00:06:22.000 He's incapable of knowing this.

00:06:24.000 And so instead of making fun of Joe Biden's inability to speak or talk, you should put him on defense and allow him to answer very simple and stated questions.

00:06:33.000 Joe Biden, how many Ukrainians have died in the Russian-Ukrainian war?

00:06:38.000 How many people have died in the Russian-Ukrainian war?

00:06:41.000 Joe Biden, have you done anything to try and broker peace to stop the killing?

00:06:47.000 Anything.

00:06:48.000 You see, the issue when it comes to this looming debate is that it's not about litigating the details of the New York trial.

00:06:55.000 Most people didn't watch it, and they found it very confusing.

00:06:58.000 Instead, Trump should stick to a simple line when it comes to the debate, in the debate when it comes to the trials.

00:07:05.000 Number one, most people, this is what he should say, the case against me was political, it was unprecedented.

00:07:11.000 It was brought in New York because that's the only place a jury would convict me.

00:07:15.000 And they know this because Joe Biden would lose otherwise.

00:07:19.000 Bam.

00:07:19.000 That's it.

00:07:21.000 Move on.

00:07:21.000 Then get back to attacking Joe Biden.

00:07:24.000 In fact, here's a talking point that now has been surfaced.

00:07:28.000 I think we sent this tape.

00:07:29.000 What tape is Andrew Cuomo?

00:07:30.000 I know I sent this earlier.

00:07:31.000 Andrew Cuomo on Bill Maher.

00:07:34.000 This is a great talking point.

00:07:36.000 And say, Joe Biden, do you know that the former Attorney General and former darling of the Democrat Party who used to be pals with and the former governor of New York said that this case should not have been brought?

00:07:47.000 Play cut 16.

00:07:47.000 The trial in New York, the one he got convicted for.

00:07:53.000 Was the greatest fundraising bonanza ever.

00:07:55.000 Yes.

00:07:55.000 He is now, he was lagging behind Biden and now he's pulled quite a bit ahead.

00:08:00.000 That trial was the greatest reason people had to send their checks for 5, 10, 25, whatever dollars to Donald Trump.

00:08:09.000 So I, and I was always with you on the one in New York, the hush money trial.

00:08:13.000 I don't think they should have brought that one.

00:08:14.000 It was just always going to look like a sex case and people were always just going to look at it that way.

00:08:20.000 So anyway, that case, the Attorney General's case in New York, frankly, should have never

00:08:24.000 been brought. And if his name was not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president

00:08:30.000 from the former AG in New York, I'm telling you that case would have never been brought.

00:08:34.000 And that's what is offensive to people. And it should be, because if there's anything left,

00:08:40.000 it's belief in the justice system. That right there, The President, President Trump should just say, Joe Biden,

00:08:48.000 what is your reaction?

00:08:50.000 See, put all of it on Joe Biden at the end of your question.

00:08:54.000 Take a strong statement.

00:08:55.000 Take a strong statement.

00:08:56.000 Ask him a question.

00:08:57.000 When you ask him a question, Joe Biden, the guy has dementia, he doesn't know where he is, he'll answer the question.

00:09:02.000 You want to know who can't control himself?

00:09:04.000 Joe Biden can't control himself.

00:09:06.000 So say, Joe Biden, what is your reaction to Andrew Cuomo saying the case against me should never have been brought?

00:09:11.000 What is your reaction, Joe Biden?

00:09:14.000 And Joe Biden would just like smile and be like, Corn Pop told me that you're a criminal.

00:09:20.000 I respect the justice system.

00:09:22.000 And that's fine.

00:09:22.000 If that is his answer, that's fine.

00:09:25.000 But just, I think the Andrew Cuomo piece of evidence is massive for Donald Trump to say.

00:09:30.000 All these other legal scholars that Donald Trump cites, it's fine.

00:09:33.000 Jonathan Turley, all that's fine.

00:09:35.000 But Andrew Cuomo was the most popular American politician during COVID, and it wasn't even close.

00:09:43.000 They were giving Andrew Cuomo nonstop cable news time during COVID.

00:09:48.000 People still like him.

00:09:50.000 They don't even know why he resigned, even though the nursing home thing was totally evil, let's be clear.

00:09:57.000 Are you ready to lose weight but not sure where to start?

00:09:58.000 I understand.

00:09:59.000 I was right where you are two years ago.

00:10:00.000 Let me tell you why I chose the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition program.

00:10:11.000 Second, the PhD program starts in Nutrition.

00:10:13.000 There is so much more.

00:10:14.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind.

00:10:16.000 and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.

00:10:19.000 There's no shortcuts, pills or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.

00:10:24.000 And finally, and probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds. Look, they're amazing.

00:11:04.000 Dr. Asher Lucas, great American.

00:11:05.000 Check it out.

00:11:06.000 MyPhDWeightLoss.com.

00:11:07.000 I want to be very clear.

00:11:11.000 I'm not saying that CNN will ask these questions.

00:11:14.000 I'm saying that the best debate tactic that is not always used, and Trump did it with Hillary.

00:11:20.000 When Trump put Hillary on defense and said, OK, Hillary, Tell us.

00:11:25.000 Tell us when you think that abortion should be illegal.

00:11:27.000 Do you believe abortion up to the moment of birth?

00:11:31.000 It was very telling.

00:11:32.000 Oh, guys, I want you to throw up this, and this is a really good sign here, and we're going to be weaving throughout this all hour.

00:11:37.000 Last evening, I did three and a half hours on a very popular podcast.

00:11:42.000 By the way, the podcast goes nine hours.

00:11:44.000 I was only here for three and a half hours, called Whatever.

00:11:47.000 You've probably seen clips of this.

00:11:48.000 And so, typically, this is where they say, okay, you go on the show, and it's going to be a bunch of liberal women. 1.00

00:11:54.000 So there are a couple of foreigners there, literally, they're from Australia, so I will exclude them from this. 1.00

00:12:00.000 Do you know that I asked, I went around the table, and I asked the young ladies, I said, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

00:12:06.000 Do you know Donald Trump won the whatever straw poll?

00:12:10.000 Donald Trump, and not only that, the two young ladies that were substitutes that came in later, they were both pro-Trump, and one of them was Canadian, so she doesn't count. 0.99

00:12:19.000 So I can go around the table and show you from the Young lady in the white shirt, she was Trump. 0.98

00:12:24.000 Next one was Biden.

00:12:25.000 Next one doesn't vote.

00:12:27.000 Next is undecided.

00:12:28.000 Next one doesn't vote.

00:12:29.000 Next one was a foreigner. 0.98

00:12:30.000 Next one Trump.

00:12:32.000 That would have been unheard of on the Whatever podcast.

00:12:35.000 And then the other two young ladies who came in were Trump. 1.00

00:12:38.000 This was, by the way, we asked Brian ahead of time, can we try to not have conservative young ladies? 0.92

00:12:44.000 And they weren't even that conservative.

00:12:46.000 Some of these people were self-described as progressive.

00:12:49.000 Some of these are self-described as liberal.

00:12:51.000 And they're voting, they're going towards Trump.

00:12:54.000 Some of these young ladies participate in OnlyFans, which I am not a fan of, if you know anything about right-wing revolution, which you can find, by the way, we're still talking book, 45books.com.

00:13:05.000 That is 45books.com.

00:13:07.000 Donald Trump, the winner of the whatever straw poll.

00:13:11.000 You're going to be seeing lots of clips of our time on whatever in the coming days, weeks, and months, I am sure.

00:13:18.000 So Donald Trump will be in this debate, and so let's just, let's go through the great threats to him.

00:13:23.000 Number one is January 6th, slash felon.

00:13:27.000 When January 6th comes up, President Trump should explain very simply, no one supported anybody touching police officers.

00:13:38.000 I instructed a crowd to peacefully and patriotically march, period.

00:13:44.000 Now, Joe Biden, I am curious.

00:13:46.000 Your emphasis on January 6th seems to be politically motivated.

00:13:50.000 The amount of destruction done during the summer of 2020 is far more than anything that happened on January 6th.

00:13:59.000 Not to mention, I requested 10,000 National Guards troops, and Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for anything that happened on January 6th.

00:14:09.000 You want to focus on the past.

00:14:11.000 You want to focus about an unruly mob Way back into a couple of years ago.

00:14:21.000 I am more worried about what's happening today.

00:14:24.000 People can't afford homes.

00:14:26.000 People cannot afford groceries.

00:14:28.000 Our border is being completely overrun.

00:14:30.000 And then you have to ask the kicker question.

00:14:32.000 Joe Biden, what do you think has had more damage to this country?

00:14:38.000 7 million illegal people coming across the southern border.

00:14:42.000 Or a couple hundred people that broke windows and assaulted a police officer on January 6.

00:14:47.000 Which one has been more damaging to our country?

00:14:50.000 Joe Biden, please answer.

00:14:52.000 That is a very serious question.

00:14:54.000 The entire campaign of Joe Biden is focused on January 6, and you have to be prepared for it.

00:14:58.000 You have to be ready for it.

00:14:59.000 Then next on the COVID stuff.

00:15:01.000 He has to be prepared just to say the facts.

00:15:03.000 That more people died from COVID under Joe Biden.

00:15:07.000 That Donald Trump was willing to open up the economy early.

00:15:11.000 And then Joe Biden will also say this, and this is the one that Donald Trump has to be, President Trump has to be ready for, is Joe Biden says, well, you want to be a dictator on day one.

00:15:19.000 Say, Joe, you're lying again.

00:15:21.000 I went on Sean Hannity's program and I said, tongue in cheek, I'll be a quote, dictator for one day.

00:15:27.000 When it comes to two things, I will close the border and drill baby drill. 0.52

00:15:31.000 You're the dictator for the entire presidency.

00:15:34.000 You're using your Department of Justice to come after me, to come after moms and dads at school boards, to come after Catholics that go into Latin mass. 0.91

00:15:43.000 You're the one that is decreeing from on high the creation of law via fiat.

00:15:50.000 And I was being fun, Joe Biden.

00:15:53.000 You're the one that wants to create amnesty.

00:15:55.000 You're the one that if you had the power would grab the guns of this country.

00:15:59.000 You're the one through executive order has expanded the reach of the federal government when it goes after putting Steve Bannon in federal prison, Peter Navarro in federal prison.

00:16:10.000 You're upset because I jokingly said that I want to be a dictator for one day because I want to drill baby drill and secure the border.

00:16:16.000 You've been a dictator for three and a half years and America is suffering because of you.

00:16:23.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:38.000 I want to play the video first, which is this is a video that has been playing in Pennsylvania.

00:17:43.000 It's now been taken down of a Democrat super PAC.

00:17:48.000 And this is a very hard video to find.

00:17:49.000 This is from a Democrat super PAC paid for by Pennsylvania values.

00:17:54.000 Trying to say to Republican voters that Donald Trump doesn't want you to vote by mail.

00:17:59.000 This is fraudulent what they are doing.

00:18:01.000 Let's play Cut20.

00:18:06.000 Mail-in voting is totally corrupt.

00:18:08.000 Get that through your head.

00:18:10.000 It has to be.

00:18:10.000 There's fraud, they found him in creeks.

00:18:13.000 They found some with the name Trump just the other day in a waste paper basket.

00:18:17.000 All of the things that are happening with votes by mail, I'm not gonna say which party does it,

00:18:23.000 but thousands of votes are gathered and they come in and they're dumped in a location

00:18:27.000 and then all of a sudden you lose elections if you think you're gonna win.

00:18:30.000 All right, Sean, what's going on here?

00:18:34.000 Democrat 101, they are the experts in cheating in elections or the experts in voter suppression.

00:18:40.000 They've been doing this stuff since 1864.

00:18:44.000 Listen, here's the bottom line.

00:18:47.000 Donald Trump is the most electrifying political figure in my lifetime, Democrat or Republican, and it's not even close.

00:18:54.000 He's got Dave McCormick on the ticket.

00:18:56.000 That's a great candidate who has the financial wherewithal and is raising money like gangbusters, is the only real Republican to take on Casey in a serious way in a very long time.

00:19:04.000 Those two people on the ticket together present synergies that haven't been on the ticket in Pennsylvania statewide since 2016, since Trump won.

00:19:13.000 Add to that now, Charlie, that we've got about a 10-figure investment where we are in Pennsylvania registering Republican voters at an historic pace and chasing down absentee ballots in a way in which we haven't before.

00:19:27.000 So Bob Casey has been completely MIA for 18 years, doesn't have a record to stand on.

00:19:32.000 Most people who are watching and listening probably never even heard of the guy.

00:19:36.000 There's a reason for that.

00:19:37.000 He's the invisible senator.

00:19:39.000 And they're afraid.

00:19:40.000 So this is essentially why Bob Casey and his brother are running an ad like this to suppress the Republican vote.

00:19:47.000 It's absolutely a huge story.

00:19:49.000 Because if a Republican were doing something like this, Charlie, they'd be in jail.

00:19:53.000 And in fact, one is Douglas Matthews has been in prison.

00:19:56.000 And I just, I just Googled Pennsylvania values pack.

00:19:59.000 Not a single story has been written.

00:20:02.000 I hope everyone understands this.

00:20:03.000 This is a Democrat super PAC that is running advertisements That is misquoting Donald Trump to try to get Pennsylvania Republicans to not embrace mail-in voting.

00:20:14.000 And this is, again, just look right here.

00:20:19.000 It's $100,000 from Ross Feller Casey, LLP, which is from Bob Casey's entire family.

00:20:26.000 Senator Casey's brother is funding these advertisements.

00:20:29.000 They have pulled these advertisements down.

00:20:31.000 In fact, there are many cases like this across the country, in addition to Douglas Mackey's.

00:20:36.000 The fraud statute, This is very widely written.

00:20:40.000 So help me understand, Sean, this is against federal election law.

00:20:48.000 If we win the White House back in the new year, we need to indict Senator Casey's brother, maybe Senator Casey as well.

00:20:56.000 This is outright election fraud, is it not?

00:20:59.000 Oh, there's no question about it.

00:21:01.000 It's voter suppression. 0.88

00:21:02.000 It's election interference.

00:21:04.000 It's what the Democrats do every single cycle.

00:21:06.000 Believe me, I was running for Congress in 2020.

00:21:08.000 I saw what they did with my own two eyes, and I will never be gaslit believing anything else.

00:21:14.000 I know what they're capable of, and the media likes to run with this fake narrative about revenge.

00:21:19.000 It's not about revenge, Charlie.

00:21:21.000 It's about accountability for those who have lied to and have wronged the American people.

00:21:26.000 Without accountability, there can be no way forward in this country.

00:21:32.000 It's the only way for Americans to gain trust in our institutions again.

00:21:36.000 It's the only way for Americans to gain trust in our body politic again.

00:21:39.000 Without accountability, there's no way forward.

00:21:42.000 So it's absolutely essential for Donald Trump and his team when they win in November.

00:21:47.000 And I know that they're tracking this.

00:21:49.000 To have some form of accountability and the answer to your question directly is yes, Bob Casey's brother should be indicted.

00:21:55.000 Yes, Bob Casey himself perhaps should be indicted.

00:21:59.000 Here's how dishonest this would be.

00:22:00.000 Let's just play this out.

00:22:01.000 We have turning point pack.

00:22:03.000 I want you to imagine if I found a piece of tape of Barack Obama saying, today is election day.

00:22:09.000 Make sure you show up at the polls.

00:22:11.000 Okay?

00:22:12.000 So let's pretend I cut an advertisement towards black America saying Barack Obama wants you only to vote on election day.

00:22:19.000 Could you imagine, Sean, I would be in federal prison for a decade if I would cut that advertising.

00:22:26.000 Probably Guantanamo Bay.

00:22:28.000 Yes, that's right.

00:22:31.000 And so this is a, if Donald Trump were to win, we need the new Attorney General to go after the entire Casey crime family.

00:22:38.000 But let's also talk about why they're doing this.

00:22:40.000 And you mentioned it briefly, Sean.

00:22:42.000 Pennsylvania is becoming the key swing state, which is if we win Pennsylvania, the entire country will likely be saved.

00:22:49.000 If we just win Arizona or Georgia, and we're working our tail off in Arizona, and Georgia is looking better and better.

00:22:54.000 What are you seeing on the ground?

00:22:55.000 You've run for office.

00:22:57.000 You understand Pennsylvania that has the Democrats so worried and so desperate that they have to run fraudulent advertisements like this, trying to suppress MAGA from embracing mail-in voting.

00:23:08.000 I'll tell you exactly what it is.

00:23:10.000 They know how formidable Donald Trump is.

00:23:13.000 It's just that simple.

00:23:14.000 The media would not have you believe that, but Donald Trump brings out the craziest cross section of voters that I have, I've never seen anything like it in my life.

00:23:23.000 I've spoken on the stage with that man four times.

00:23:25.000 I've run for office twice in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:23:28.000 I was at the Butler County rally four days before election day in 2020.

00:23:32.000 When 65,000 people walked for miles to get there, I know it.

00:23:36.000 I saw it.

00:23:36.000 I witnessed it.

00:23:37.000 And when Donald Trump is on the ballot, he is a turnout machine.

00:23:42.000 And not only does that benefit Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, it benefits everybody down ballot.

00:23:46.000 So with the governor and Josh Shapiro, our Poindexter governor here in Pennsylvania, With him as governor, if he loses the Pennsylvania House and the Pennsylvania Senate, his first four years, perhaps even his next four years, two terms in office maybe, completely shot if Republicans control the House and the Senate.

00:24:02.000 So the Democrats know that everything is on the line here with their state legislative agenda, but they also know that if we win Pennsylvania, we likely save this country.

00:24:11.000 Because if we win Pennsylvania, it's a hell of a lot more likely that we win Arizona, we win Georgia, we win Wisconsin, we win Michigan.

00:24:18.000 They know how important Pennsylvania is, and they're going all in to stop Donald Trump and Republicans.

00:24:26.000 Whatever it takes, Charlie.

00:24:27.000 Whatever it takes.

00:24:28.000 So the voter registration numbers are trending in the right direction. 0.99

00:24:32.000 By the way, this is such a dumb move by them.

00:24:34.000 We have to publicize this because this will actually make more MAGA people embrace mail-in voting because it's like, oh, wait, the liberals don't want us to do this. 0.91

00:24:43.000 And so maybe there's some kind of movement towards it.

00:24:47.000 Talk about, again, the voter registration numbers.

00:24:50.000 Is Pennsylvania becoming a redder state in the last four years?

00:24:53.000 Yes.

00:24:54.000 Yes, I mean, and here's the bargain, I think, the balance that Josh Shapiro struck when he unilaterally said, hey, we're going to do a motor voter, automatic voter registration.

00:25:04.000 Republicans are outpacing Democrats in automatic voter registration.

00:25:07.000 With the add to that, our effort, we're outpacing them.

00:25:10.000 Republican voter registration in this cycle, Charlie, in Pennsylvania, Wrap your mind around this.

00:25:16.000 In the swing state of Pennsylvania is R plus 8.

00:25:19.000 In historic cycles, it's D plus 5, D plus 6, D plus 8.

00:25:23.000 In 2024, it's R plus 8.

00:25:25.000 So if you look at when Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, Democrats had something like a 700,000 plus person voter registration advantage.

00:25:35.000 That number has dwindled to about 400,000.

00:25:38.000 So just in under 10 years, we've almost halved that number.

00:25:43.000 and we're making it up bit by bit every day.

00:25:45.000 A lot of those Dems, Sean, are actually Trump people.

00:25:48.000 And so that is correct.

00:25:50.000 I mean, they're registered Dems, and they just haven't gotten around to changing their

00:25:53.000 registration.

00:25:54.000 But they are resolutely MAGA.

00:25:57.000 Oh, there's no doubt about it.

00:25:58.000 Like in my home county of Beaver County, like in 2020, Beaver County had 10,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

00:26:04.000 Today, it has 1,200 more registered Republicans than it has Democrats.

00:26:08.000 Trump won Beaver County in 2020 by 17 points.

00:26:12.000 Beaver County is a microcosm of blue-collar union Democrats that are pro-life, pro-gun, That the Democrat Party has just trended so far left that it's left them.

00:26:22.000 And Trump is uniquely appealing to those people.

00:26:24.000 And Bob Casey and the Democrat Party writ large, Charlie, they know that.

00:26:30.000 So they resorted to desperate attempts to lie and mislead voters in a way that's going to come back to bite them.

00:26:39.000 In 2020, just to wrap your mind around this, Charlie, because the Democrat narrative about the vote by mail stuff is like, oh, you're just going to cannibalize your election day vote.

00:26:47.000 The margin in Pennsylvania in 2020, and I use the term loosely, margin, was 80,000 votes.

00:26:54.000 So if you look at four of four voters in Pennsylvania in 2020, and three of four voters, Republican voters in 2020, those are our highest propensity voters.

00:27:01.000 People who voted in four elections out of four, three elections out of four.

00:27:06.000 Over 100,000.

00:27:08.000 Republican high-propensity voters did not show up to vote in 2020.

00:27:12.000 So even if we're just registering high-propensity Republican voters, that exceeds the margin in 2020.

00:27:19.000 We're registering high-propensity voters right now.

00:27:19.000 But we're not.

00:27:21.000 We're getting them to bank their vote at skipthelinepa.com.

00:27:24.000 And we're registering low-propensity Trump voters.

00:27:27.000 And that means people who only show up for Trump.

00:27:30.000 So the well for Republicans on this initiative, Charlie, is largely untapped.

00:27:35.000 And we are It's been resoundingly successful.

00:27:38.000 And we're trying to get 200,000 people on the automatic opt-in for mail-in ballots in the 2024 cycle.

00:27:45.000 And we are on our way to doing just that.

00:27:47.000 And let me just tell you in as clear terms as humanly possible, Charlie, if we hit that 200,000 person number, we will win Pennsylvania.

00:27:57.000 It's just a matter of simple math.

00:27:59.000 And by the way, this is how Democrats have been fighting.

00:28:01.000 We are on our way to win Pennsylvania.

00:28:04.000 It's going to require a ton of work.

00:28:06.000 It's going to require grassroots muscle.

00:28:08.000 And according to Scott Pressler, we are 537 voters away from flipping Bucks County from Democrat to Republican.

00:28:16.000 In mid-April, it was 1,589.

00:28:17.000 In June of 2020, it was 15,552.

00:28:22.000 And we are 537 voters away from making Bucks County a red county.

00:28:27.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:28:32.000 Debt.

00:28:33.000 It keeps you tossing and turning at night.

00:28:34.000 You can't get away from it.

00:28:35.000 But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.

00:28:38.000 Insanely high-interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.

00:28:43.000 There's a way out of the debt trap.

00:28:45.000 It's Zero Debt USA.

00:28:46.000 You've heard me talk about pivotal debt solutions.

00:29:25.000 That is zapmydebt.com.

00:29:28.000 One more time, check it out, zapmydebt.com.

00:29:34.000 So, Sean, just really quick, before we get into the fraud issue, can you just comment that Bucks County might end up being a Republican-majority county?

00:29:43.000 How significant is that?

00:29:45.000 It's significant.

00:29:46.000 Not only is it significant from a symbolic perspective, but it's also significant by the numbers because I had mentioned fighting like the Democrats Look, I know people don't like mail-in ballots.

00:29:59.000 I get it.

00:30:00.000 But the rules of the political battlefield are set and we have to be better than our political enemies and play that game better than them.

00:30:07.000 And so what it means is, is that we are playing that game in Bucks County and in other counties like Beaver County in Western Pennsylvania, better than the Democrats.

00:30:17.000 And at the end of the day, when the votes are counted in 2020, that is going to be what matters.

00:30:23.000 And so, You know, we've got Scott Pressler on the ground here in Pennsylvania.

00:30:26.000 He's a good friend of mine.

00:30:27.000 I love that guy, in conjunction with all the stuff that we're doing at Skip the Line PA.

00:30:33.000 It's all good stuff, Charlie, and it matters by the numbers.

00:30:36.000 And that, you know, that's how you win.

00:30:38.000 So tell us, what can we do?

00:30:40.000 What can everyday citizen do to secure our elections?

00:30:43.000 Because downtown Philadelphia is known for clumsy and fraudulently administered elections.

00:30:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:50.000 I mean, if you don't believe Charlie or you don't believe me, walk down the street in Philadelphia like I have many times and, hey, is there voter fraud in Philadelphia?

00:30:58.000 They'll look at you, laugh and say, this is Philadelphia, man.

00:31:01.000 Come on.

00:31:01.000 Of course.

00:31:02.000 Everybody knows this.

00:31:02.000 Of course.

00:31:03.000 And so everywhere I go, Charlie, I get asked this question and I'll say this.

00:31:07.000 There is something too, too big to rig.

00:31:11.000 Where Democrats are hemorrhaging numbers with Black Americans, they're hemorrhaging numbers with Latino Americans.

00:31:17.000 These are traditional Democrat voting blocs.

00:31:20.000 So first of all, show up to vote.

00:31:23.000 Because the way the Democrats would cheat back in the day, and of course they're going to say I'm a conspiracy theorist, but it's true, when people were just voting in person, they would look at the poll book and they'd say, oh, Joe Blow didn't vote today.

00:31:34.000 So I'm gonna vote for him and I'm gonna sign on the poll book for him.

00:31:37.000 But now with mail-in ballots, they can do that on a wide scale.

00:31:40.000 We don't want them to do that.

00:31:42.000 So show up to vote.

00:31:44.000 Otherwise the Democrats will find a way to vote for you.

00:31:48.000 And if you don't believe me, all it takes, you've got electronic voter registration database

00:31:54.000 There are Democrat third-party groups that have access to that.

00:31:57.000 They look at people who didn't show up.

00:31:59.000 They submit a mail-in ballot for them.

00:32:01.000 If there's no signature verification requirement, no ID requirement, they drop it in a drop box.

00:32:06.000 It's just that simple.

00:32:07.000 So show up to vote.

00:32:09.000 The second thing is, don't think for a second that you can't make a difference.

00:32:14.000 So volunteer to be a poll watcher.

00:32:17.000 Take accountability for 10 people in your life to make sure that they get to the poll.

00:32:22.000 And then encourage those 10 people to take the same pledge.

00:32:26.000 Show up to actually vote.

00:32:28.000 I'm tired of this whole silent majority thing.

00:32:32.000 Yes, we are.

00:32:33.000 The vast majority of sane Americans, by and large, are silent because we don't want the government in our lives.

00:32:39.000 We want them out of our lives.

00:32:40.000 We want to be able to life liberty, pursuit of happiness.

00:32:43.000 But silence doesn't change a darn thing.

00:32:47.000 Stop being silent.

00:32:49.000 Get out there, advocate for your pitches.

00:32:51.000 Everywhere I go, people are like, I supported you and I supported President Trump.

00:32:54.000 And I'm like, well, that's amazing.

00:32:55.000 Thank you.

00:32:56.000 But why are you whispering?

00:32:57.000 Scream it. 0.93

00:32:58.000 Be loud and proud about it and get involved in your community because one person can change the direction of a country.

00:33:04.000 So get involved.

00:33:05.000 Stay involved.

00:33:06.000 Too big to rig.

00:33:07.000 Show up to vote.

00:33:08.000 Be poll watchers.

00:33:09.000 I mean, things are trending in the right direction.

00:33:13.000 Sean Parnell, excellent.

00:33:14.000 Thank you so much.

00:33:15.000 And if we win Pennsylvania, the chances of us winning the White House go up dramatically.

00:33:20.000 Thanks so much, Sean.

00:33:21.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:33:22.000 Just to understand the significance of winning Pennsylvania, that means you just have to win one of Arizona or Georgia.

00:33:28.000 It's that simple.

00:33:30.000 Arizona or Georgia, if you win Pennsylvania.

00:33:32.000 The Keystone State is the key if you open it up.

00:33:35.000 It opens up the entire ballgame, more so than Michigan, more so than Wisconsin.
