The Charlie Kirk Show - The Dems’ Empty, Abstract Convention: DNC DAY 2 REACTIONS

00:00:00.000 Okay everybody, I am back in Phoenix and we started this morning in Chicago.

00:00:05.000 Barack Obama just finished.

00:00:09.000 Saying a lot of nothing very, very well.

00:00:12.000 Michelle Obama gave an objectively very powerful speech, also saying next to nothing.

00:00:18.000 We have Blake with us and also Jack Posobiec at the interior of the DNC is going to join us via Skype at some point.

00:00:26.000 We are here live on Real America's Voice.

00:00:27.000 Make sure you guys download the Real America's Voice app.

00:00:30.000 As always, we are honored to be on Rav and also all the streams.

00:00:35.000 You can email us Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:42.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:44.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:48.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks!

00:00:51.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:52.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:53.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:55.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:01.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:10.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:37.000 Blake, how you doing?

00:01:38.000 Your reaction to DNC Night 2.

00:01:40.000 Charlie, I'm doing great.

00:01:41.000 In case anyone watching is wondering about my shirt, I am wearing my CNN My CNN sucks shirt that a friend gave me for my birthday a couple years ago.

00:01:50.000 We should offer that as a member giveaway.

00:01:54.000 I think it's my friend that made it custom, but I'm sure we could probably copy that as long as we don't get sued by CNN.

00:02:01.000 I'm feeling pretty good overall.

00:02:05.000 These democratic conventions are always a huge ordeal because they force you to confront like the decayed nature of American politics.

00:02:14.000 And one of the best things that Donald Trump did is when Donald Trump talks, he does talk

00:02:20.000 about issues. It's actually what upsets people so much. He'll talk about illegal immigration,

00:02:23.000 and instead of doing this Obama-esque meandering thing where he'll be like,

00:02:28.000 let me be clear. The identity of America is opportunity, and we want to give opportunity.

00:02:35.000 He'll go on forever and ever.

00:02:36.000 And Trump will just say, yeah, rapists are crossing the border. 0.80

00:02:38.000 We're going to we're going to stop the rapists and the killers. 0.84

00:02:41.000 We're not going to let them.

00:02:42.000 We're going to build a wall.

00:02:43.000 And it drives people bonkers.

00:02:45.000 It drives people bonkers that Trump will just talk about an issue in a straightforward way, the way you could talk about it in a bar or with anyone else, you know, one to one.

00:02:55.000 And to have to endure, I mean, You were lucky you were traveling, Charlie.

00:03:00.000 I had to sit and watch five hours of this.

00:03:03.000 And it's just a relentless assault upon the senses.

00:03:06.000 I think it's like self-lobotomizing yourself listening to this.

00:03:11.000 For those who weren't watching earlier, they did the roll call of all the states and all the territories, too.

00:03:17.000 Can't forget American Samoa and all of that.

00:03:19.000 All of them casting their delegate ballots for Kamala, plus the five undecided people voting present.

00:03:28.000 And every single one of them, we had to repeat 55 different times.

00:03:33.000 They'll have some person there saying like, we're here and we're really proud that in

00:03:39.000 the state of Wyoming, we have abortions still. 1.00

00:03:44.000 We love abortions so much and we're voting for commoners. 1.00

00:03:47.000 And you just repeat that for every single state.

00:03:49.000 They'll talk about abortions and then sometimes they'd have this like mascot.

00:03:53.000 But New Jersey brought a transgender person along, it was either a transgender person 1.00

00:03:58.000 or just a very unfortunate.

00:04:00.000 That was their mascot?

00:04:02.000 Yeah, it's like, they'll have these mascots along with them.

00:04:04.000 Like, it's really jarring when you see them doing it.

00:04:07.000 It'll be like, alright, let's grab the one person here who doesn't look like they came out of an Aaron Sorkin flick.

00:04:12.000 Alright, there we go.

00:04:13.000 And...

00:04:15.000 Ugh.

00:04:16.000 And they just did this for an hour, and then...

00:04:18.000 It just comes... It just is one thing after another.

00:04:21.000 And as we were talking about, it's...

00:04:23.000 It's...

00:04:24.000 All of the platitudes, and then the only big issue they really harp on is abortion.

00:04:30.000 And it's so dark.

00:04:33.000 It's very dark.

00:04:34.000 Let's go to Jack Posobiec who's in the interior of the DNC following the Charlie Kirk tradition of going into the DNC.

00:04:41.000 Jack Posobiec, what are you seeing?

00:04:43.000 What are you hearing in the DNC?

00:04:44.000 Do we have Jack Posobiec in the DNC?

00:04:46.000 So, Barack Obama just ended, and we're thinking about doing a little bit of man-on-the-street type stuff here while we're in, because I was very interested as to why it was that nobody mentioned Donald Trump's assassination attempt.

00:05:00.000 The fact that a crazed leftist shot up a Donald Trump rally, went after him, shot Donald Trump, and shot and killed a firefighter, and yet not one person has mentioned Corey Comptrey.

00:05:13.000 You thought at least Obama would.

00:05:14.000 When talking about his, you know, his unifying the countries, unifying rhetoric, we heard none of it whatsoever.

00:05:20.000 So I think we might do a little man-on-the-street stuff here.

00:05:23.000 What do you say?

00:05:24.000 Let's do that.

00:05:25.000 Yeah, Jack, why don't you go ask some people what they think, what they're doing.

00:05:29.000 So yeah, go ahead, Jack.

00:05:31.000 And you'll have lots of witnesses if something happens to you.

00:05:35.000 We will.

00:05:36.000 All right, let's see how it goes.

00:05:38.000 Hold on.

00:05:40.000 Can you still hear me if I do this?

00:05:41.000 If I pull this out?

00:05:42.000 Won't you be able to hear everything?

00:05:43.000 Yeah, it's not as good, though.

00:05:45.000 It's not as good.

00:05:46.000 And that was the last time they ever saw Jack Pestozak alive.

00:05:56.000 Yeah, as Jack tries to find an abortion zealot, I want to remind you guys, you can email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:06:04.000 Why is that?

00:06:05.000 Is Jack yelling into the crowd?

00:06:07.000 Is it a good idea or a bad idea?

00:06:11.000 No.

00:06:12.000 She has a mask.

00:06:14.000 You're masked!

00:06:16.000 Jack, you should flip your camera around.

00:06:19.000 Why didn't you hear that?

00:06:20.000 You're ready to go.

00:06:22.000 You said that happened, right?

00:06:24.000 What?

00:06:24.000 I'm so, I'm so confused.

00:06:38.000 I don't understand.

00:06:39.000 Keep going, Jack.

00:06:41.000 Let's see, let's see who we can ask here.

00:06:46.000 This is the best thing ever.

00:06:53.000 Jack, you should ask people in masks if they're masks because we are in a pandemic.

00:07:01.000 Oh, they're from Hawaii. 0.77

00:07:02.000 You think they should have brought it up?

00:07:07.000 What do you think?

00:07:07.000 It's your chance to be a star.

00:07:08.000 What do you think?

00:07:09.000 What do you think?

00:07:09.000 They don't want to answer the question.

00:07:12.000 I understand why they don't want to answer the question.

00:07:14.000 So, what do you think of the Trump assassination attempt?

00:07:18.000 I have no comment on it.

00:07:19.000 No comment?

00:07:20.000 Why not?

00:07:20.000 You think it's bad though, right?

00:07:21.000 I think it's not great, but... But what?

00:07:25.000 But what?

00:07:25.000 It's not great, but... It's not great?

00:07:29.000 What does that mean?

00:07:29.000 I'm confused.

00:07:31.000 I'm so confused.

00:07:31.000 What does that mean?

00:07:33.000 It should seem pretty simple.

00:07:36.000 It's pretty simple to be able to say, hey, that was bad.

00:07:38.000 What else can we talk to?

00:07:41.000 What else can we talk to?

00:07:43.000 What else can we talk to over here?

00:07:45.000 We're going to get on the radio.

00:07:47.000 We're live right here.

00:07:50.000 Jack Posobiec on the interior of the DNC right now, as he is searching for delegate Lennings to ask questions.

00:08:00.000 I want to encourage you guys to become a member.

00:08:03.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.

00:08:04.000 That is Members.CharlieKirk.com.

00:08:07.000 As Jack Posobiec continues doing front lines here.

00:08:10.000 Boy, they look like Democrats, don't they, Blake?

00:08:13.000 I mean, just... I love the mask thing.

00:08:15.000 Like, we're gonna have... I wonder who will be the last COVID mask wearer.

00:08:20.000 Like, it's fun to imagine this as a sci-fi thing.

00:08:23.000 Like, someone, it's 2050, and this person is still a recluse in their house, and they're, like, berating people who walk by, and they're like, we're in a pandemic!

00:08:32.000 I wanna unmute Jack here.

00:08:33.000 I wanna...

00:08:36.000 Any one of them could just be like, yeah, we denounce that.

00:08:40.000 We don't like that.

00:08:41.000 But you see, the Democrats won't actually denounce political violence.

00:08:46.000 Why won't they do that?

00:08:48.000 Why won't they simply denounce political violence?

00:08:50.000 That's it.

00:08:50.000 Get this man so we can bring him down.

00:08:54.000 Say it again, it's political violence.

00:08:58.000 Jack, keep going.

00:09:05.000 The audience is loving this.

00:09:07.000 Jack, just go up to some of these NPCs and ask them.

00:09:12.000 Video games have gotten more advanced.

00:09:19.000 Sometimes you have to talk to them twice to get the right dialogue prompt in the game.

00:09:23.000 I want you to announce it.

00:09:25.000 Do you have any comments on that?

00:09:28.000 You denounce that, right?

00:09:30.000 So you denounce it.

00:09:32.000 I wish she'd announce it.

00:09:33.000 It's very strange.

00:09:35.000 She had a lot to say when she was on the floor, but not a lot to say now.

00:09:37.000 This is very strange.

00:09:38.000 I'm very confused.

00:09:40.000 Why they want to denounce that?

00:09:41.000 Hey guys, real quick, we're doing a Trump assassination attempt.

00:09:45.000 You guys denounced that, right?

00:09:46.000 Trump assassination attempt?

00:09:48.000 Totally against that, right?

00:09:49.000 No?

00:09:52.000 Yes?

00:09:52.000 Maybe?

00:09:53.000 I don't know.

00:09:53.000 No answer.

00:09:55.000 This is a good answer.

00:09:58.000 Hey, how you doing?

00:10:02.000 literally across the street boy the mask per capita thing is really remarkable

00:10:16.000 Okay, we're trying to find one person.

00:10:18.000 Can I find one person here who will denounce the Trump assassination attempt?

00:10:23.000 Will anyone here denounce the Trump assassination attempt?

00:10:27.000 You, sir.

00:10:28.000 Will you denounce the Trump assassination attempt?

00:10:30.000 All you have to do is say yes.

00:10:32.000 Just one person.

00:10:33.000 That's all I need.

00:10:35.000 One person to say they denounce the Trump assassination attempt.

00:10:38.000 They really are like NPCs.

00:10:38.000 They just... Oh, hold on.

00:10:39.000 We got a good one.

00:10:39.000 Hold on.

00:10:40.000 He's doing an interview right now.

00:10:42.000 Hold on.

00:10:42.000 This is good.

00:10:43.000 This is good.

00:10:43.000 We got someone.

00:10:44.000 We got a good person to interview here in a second.

00:10:47.000 Guys, anybody want to denounce the Trump assassination attempt?

00:10:55.000 Did you guys see that?

00:10:56.000 Did you see that in Butler?

00:10:57.000 When they took a shot at him?

00:10:59.000 Ma'am, you saw that, right?

00:11:01.000 It's very terrible.

00:11:05.000 Why are they incapable of answering this question?

00:11:09.000 What were your thoughts on that?

00:11:12.000 My name is Jack Posobiec.

00:11:14.000 I'm with Real America's Voice.

00:11:16.000 Well, it shouldn't matter, right?

00:11:19.000 It shouldn't matter.

00:11:19.000 It's just, what do you think?

00:11:22.000 I'm glad no one got hurt.

00:11:25.000 Well, someone was killed.

00:11:26.000 I'm glad that Mr. Trump got hurt.

00:11:30.000 Seriously.

00:11:31.000 All right.

00:11:32.000 Appreciate that.

00:11:34.000 Democrats actually don't want any physical harm to happen, even to someone they don't like like Donald Trump.

00:11:42.000 I feel badly for this gentleman who was killed, of course, and we know the way to solve that is to make sure that People who shouldn't have guns don't have access to assault weapons like AR-15s.

00:11:55.000 So how would you get the guns out then?

00:11:58.000 More police?

00:11:59.000 I'll tell you my solution.

00:12:01.000 You tell me if it works.

00:12:03.000 I'm fine with everyone buying 100 AR-15s or pistols or whatever.

00:12:09.000 I just don't want to protect their home.

00:12:12.000 Right?

00:12:12.000 Or to go hunting if they have to or go to a shooting range or a hospital.

00:12:16.000 We have scooters at least in California where They're geo-fenced, right?

00:12:23.000 You can't drive them beyond a certain geographical area.

00:12:26.000 Well, the public ones.

00:12:27.000 You can buy them.

00:12:28.000 No, I understand, but the point is technology exists to geo-fence using GPS technology.

00:12:37.000 So how about if we just put those on everyone's guns, we give them an area to protect their home and some area around that, but not to be used at a school, not to be used at a church, not to be used at a baseball game.

00:12:52.000 How about that?

00:12:55.000 I drive scooters every once in a while.

00:12:58.000 I mean, it's 2024, right?

00:13:02.000 So maybe there are solutions, and we Democrats are all about solutions.

00:13:07.000 If there are solutions, that actually can allow people to enjoy their Second Amendment rights,

00:13:13.000 and at the same time, keep innocent people safe.

00:13:17.000 All right, we appreciate that.

00:13:18.000 What do you think of my suggestion about the geofencing?

00:13:21.000 What do I think?

00:13:22.000 Yeah.

00:13:23.000 I mean, I think it would work for people who go into it, but it would be very easy to get around.

00:13:29.000 No, but the point is, If you are caught with a weapon outside of your geographical area, you're protecting your own home and your family.

00:13:38.000 So you support police then taking those guns away?

00:13:41.000 No, I support people going to prison if they disable the geofencing on their assault weapons.

00:13:50.000 Right, so if someone takes a step out of that geolocation, the cops come, they take their gun away.

00:13:55.000 I don't think a step is going to be a problem, but If someone is outside the area where they should be, where they are protecting their family, and they have disabled a geofenced lock on their gun, that would be a crime.

00:14:13.000 Just like having heroin would be a crime.

00:14:15.000 Well, the heroin is not protected by the Nazis. 0.87

00:14:19.000 Well, there's an argument about whether people in the libertarian way to look at the world, but AR-15s are not supposed to be accountable to the owned by people, for example, a 15-year-old.

00:14:34.000 There's a constitution that's not hateful.

00:14:36.000 I'm a lawyer that actually...

00:14:39.000 Okay, what part of the second amendment is hateful?

00:14:42.000 So the second amendment is about a well... is about a militia.

00:14:47.000 Right, there are a lot of things that are left to interpretation.

00:14:55.000 So there's a lot that's not there.

00:14:58.000 There is not in the Constitution a right to personal ownership of guns.

00:15:04.000 Okay, we're gonna be back with more with Jack Posobiec in just a second here as they continue to debate the finer points of the Second Amendment.

00:15:15.000 Do you think they'll still be going whenever we end the show?

00:15:17.000 They might. 0.98

00:15:18.000 First of all, that was the dumbest argument ever. 0.87

00:15:21.000 So your rights end as soon as you go outside your home, so you only have First Amendment protections and privacy protections. 0.97

00:15:26.000 You can only vote within your home.

00:15:29.000 So only your home you're allowed to have unalienable rights.

00:15:31.000 So it's cool to be able to speak your mind as long as you're in the home.

00:15:35.000 It's kind of like Tim Walz.

00:15:37.000 The First Amendment ends as soon as you're using your free speech to say misinformation or anything Tim Walz doesn't like.

00:15:46.000 Just have the designated constitution zone at home.

00:15:50.000 That's right.

00:15:50.000 I want to thank Todd for being a member, Tim, Peter, Michael, Elka, Stephanie, Elizabeth, Brad, Dana, Alan, Jan, Nancy, Kim, and Connor.

00:16:28.000 We're going to keep on listing them off throughout the hour.

00:16:31.000 Blake, that's just such an interesting window.

00:16:34.000 Into the liberal mind?

00:16:35.000 He's like, yeah, you know, I have an idea.

00:16:36.000 We have these scooters that are micromanaged by some sort of central bullet bureau.

00:16:40.000 Maybe we could do the same.

00:16:42.000 Inside of every Democrat activist and voter is a totalitarian waiting to get out.

00:16:47.000 Blake, your thoughts as we... I think Jack is still yammering with this guy.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, it's a blatant thing.

00:16:53.000 You see it really happening badly in the homeland of many of the freedoms we appreciate, the United Kingdom, where they're basically going full Big Brother.

00:17:03.000 Tens of thousands of people are being arrested and convicted for speech offenses.

00:17:10.000 They are going to pass an official legal ban on saying mean things about the prophet, peace be upon him, on the internet.

00:17:17.000 England and yeah all these technocratic ways to make freedom much more

00:17:22.000 circumscribed than it ever was in the past yeah let's take this right that

00:17:25.000 says shall not be infringed and say oh what if what if we used a vast panopticon

00:17:30.000 and had a central government database where we'll monitor every item that

00:17:35.000 you're carrying to make sure you don't take it out of the constant you know the

00:17:38.000 25 square meter Constitution zone in your living room and then that'll that'll

00:17:43.000 be the good way to balance balance freedom and we'll have a we'll have a

00:17:46.000 free speech zone that's in your bathroom where you can yell into your toilet if

00:17:49.000 you feel like you have opinions about things but don't don't do it anywhere

00:17:52.000 else then then that might cause misinformation It's baffling, and I still think the best sign, though, of their mental state is all of the masks.

00:18:03.000 This gets more and more glaring the longer it goes on.

00:18:05.000 They're going to put up a Senate candidate in 2036, and they're going to be masked, and their number one issue is going to be making sure people know that we live in a pandemic, and the immunocompromised are in danger.

00:18:20.000 But I do see a through line here, which is, of course, we have big hearts here and we're very compassionate.

00:18:26.000 The Democrats go out of their way to try to find a group that is allegedly victimized to try to create a movement against people that have more than them.

00:18:34.000 Blake, at its core, it seems as if this is a rebellion against excellence.

00:18:39.000 That there is a movement against what is beautiful, good, and true, against hierarchies that act like we have zero compassion, when in reality, they have no compassion whatsoever for actually who matters.

00:18:53.000 But, Blake, civilization is hard.

00:18:56.000 To be able that we have common law, roads, bridges, that we have police officers, firefighters.

00:19:02.000 You said something very smart the other day.

00:19:04.000 Poverty is the norm, not the exception.

00:19:07.000 Can you riff on that?

00:19:08.000 And excellence is the rarity in the human condition.

00:19:12.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:19:13.000 So just to explain to people what we're referencing, Ayanna Pressley, a member of the Squad, she once had a line, I think this was two or three years ago at this point, where she said something about poverty's a choice and we could get rid of poverty if we just changed the rules so that everyone got resources shared a different way.

00:19:30.000 And that's a lie, of course.

00:19:32.000 You are... all of us would just be born... all of us are born naked and deprived, naturally.

00:19:38.000 Our natural state of being is we live in a dangerous world filled with predators and disease and a harsh environment, and it is only through thousands of years that we change that.

00:19:50.000 And all of that goes away if we don't maintain civilization.

00:19:54.000 And...

00:19:56.000 It is a long-running historical debate.

00:19:59.000 You know, what should we prize the most?

00:20:01.000 How far should we go to protect and uplift the weak?

00:20:05.000 And I think both of us would agree probably that the happy medium is, you know, Christian morality, which says you should be courageous and brave and try to do excellent things and you should temper that with humility and concern for others.

00:20:19.000 And that's how you create the balancing act that is European Christian civilization.

00:20:24.000 That we are able to care for and protect the weak, but we don't hate those who are strong.

00:20:33.000 We instead say, if you are strong, you have a duty towards other people.

00:20:37.000 But this easily can become warped and convoluted.

00:20:40.000 It becomes hatred of those who are successful.

00:20:44.000 Hatred of any idea that one person could be more talented than anyone else.

00:20:50.000 More successful than anyone else, better than anyone else.

00:20:53.000 And if you allow that to run wild, which the modern left is certainly doing, you get this sort of monster that just annihilates civilization.

00:21:01.000 You get what happens in Kamala City of San Francisco. 0.99

00:21:04.000 San Francisco is one of the richest cities in the world.

00:21:09.000 It is the center of one of the most dynamic Wealth-producing engines in the history of humanity.

00:21:15.000 The United States tech industry.

00:21:15.000 That's right.

00:21:17.000 And it has essentially unlimited money.

00:21:19.000 It has great weather.

00:21:21.000 It is a naturally beautiful city.

00:21:22.000 It was a beautiful city for a hundred years.

00:21:24.000 Jack said he just got Holder.

00:21:26.000 He got Holder?

00:21:27.000 Wait, did we get Jack getting Eric Holder?

00:21:29.000 Okay, my rant will go on pause.

00:21:31.000 I hope someone was recording that.

00:21:31.000 Let's go to Jack.

00:21:34.000 Wait, I, did we, did someone, was someone recording that while it was happening?

00:21:39.000 Hope so.

00:21:41.000 We don't have Jack, so I hope Jack recorded it.

00:21:43.000 I'm sorry, Blake, to interrupt you.

00:21:45.000 Yeah, no problem, no problem.

00:21:47.000 But San Francisco, what is it? 0.98

00:21:48.000 It's a filthy city. 1.00

00:21:49.000 It's filled with feces. 0.97

00:21:52.000 It has a ton of crime, but what's really telling is most cities that are destroyed by crime, it fully falls apart.

00:21:58.000 Chicago has normal crime and it has murders.

00:22:01.000 San Francisco's not that dangerous of a city.

00:22:04.000 You don't get murdered.

00:22:05.000 They could easily stop the crime that they have.

00:22:08.000 It's all retail theft, urban blight, people just break into your cars.

00:22:14.000 These are all, importantly, crimes it is trivially easy to stop.

00:22:18.000 You put out some bait cars, you wait for them to get robbed, you arrest the person, you put them in jail, 15 years.

00:22:23.000 You do that for a month, there's no more car theft anymore.

00:22:27.000 For shoplifting, you just say, we're going to vaporize the people who do shoplifting.

00:22:32.000 10 years. 0.98

00:22:32.000 Grab them. 0.98

00:22:33.000 Again, you could very easily stop all of this.

00:22:36.000 They choose to live in this crime-infested state that people find miserable because They really deep down I think it makes them uncomfortable to live in a nice city and it's jarring when you can go to countries that are one-third one-quarter as wealthy as the United States are and their cities will feel better because they haven't

00:23:01.000 Internalize this bizarre anti-civilization impulse to say crime is amazing, urban blight is amazing, it's actually better to be impoverished than to be successful.

00:23:14.000 If you are successful, you should just give up everything you have.

00:23:18.000 While they've been doing this whole display, this like abortion sacrament in Chicago, the other news today is Kamala's team On top of the whole price control mechanism they talked about last week, they're now endorsing Joe Biden's plan to tax unrealized capital gains, which is just straight up, you might make money on that in the future, we're going to tax you on it right now.

00:23:42.000 Very acquisitive.

00:23:43.000 It's not an attitude of, we have taxes to fund the government, to do things that we as a society collectively need.

00:23:50.000 It's resentment-based taxation.

00:23:52.000 It is, we want to raise taxes on you because we are angry that you possess things.

00:23:59.000 How dare that you, by existing, imply that you are better than us?

00:24:04.000 And it's anti-American.

00:24:07.000 It's destructive.

00:24:08.000 Let's go to, this is Michelle Obama going after Trump at the DNC.

00:24:12.000 Of all the lines, this one really upset me the most.

00:24:14.000 This is just another pure lie, acting as if Donald Trump said something he didn't say.

00:24:18.000 When President Trump was talking about black unemployment, and he said, you know, oh, black jobs, and then that snarky woman from ABC said, oh, well, do you mean, like, what is a black job? 0.63

00:24:30.000 He's like, well, a job that a black person has. 0.90

00:24:32.000 Play cut 56. 0.75

00:24:34.000 For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. 0.50

00:24:42.000 See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be black.

00:24:54.000 I want to know.

00:24:56.000 I want to know. 0.81

00:24:58.000 Who's gonna tell him, who's gonna tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs? 0.99

00:25:08.000 It's so rehearsed and it's so fake and of course the audience loves it.

00:25:12.000 Pure race baiting and sent something Donald Trump doesn't believe and did not say.

00:25:16.000 Continues, Michelle Obama said here, cut 57, Americans don't have a right to decide who enters our country, play cut 57.

00:25:25.000 All of our contributions deserve to be accepted and valued.

00:25:35.000 Because no one has a monopoly on what it means to be an American.

00:25:42.000 No one!

00:25:45.000 Michelle Obama said about Kamala Harris, she's shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger or bitterness.

00:25:52.000 Play cut 59.

00:25:55.000 has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others.

00:26:09.000 She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward.

00:26:17.000 We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.

00:26:23.000 If things don't go our way, we don't have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead.

00:26:31.000 No!

00:26:34.000 We don't get to change the rules so we always win.

00:26:38.000 If we see a mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top.

00:26:48.000 So I think it's time, Blake.

00:26:50.000 She talks about the affirmative action of inherited wealth.

00:26:53.000 Did Michelle Obama get into Princeton on her own merit?

00:26:58.000 And what did somebody say about, was it Christopher Hitchens that said that she was, it was barely I've got the quote here.

00:27:05.000 I've got the quote here.

00:27:07.000 Yeah, please.

00:27:08.000 No, I mean, obviously it's fair game now that she's accusing the most successful billionaire developer who succeeded in everything that he has done in his life as failing upward.

00:27:18.000 Talk about Michelle Obama. 0.99

00:27:19.000 Yeah, so Michelle Obama, Michelle Robinson as a young woman.

00:27:23.000 Sorry, everyone.

00:27:25.000 She was a young woman.

00:27:27.000 She was told, she'll talk about this in speeches, that she was told her test scores were not good enough to go to Princeton, and then she'll tell this as like an inspiring, you can overcome anything thing, where she's like, I kept at it and I was able to go.

00:27:42.000 All I will say is, if she, if, you know, her name was, you know, Michelle Rhee and she was from, her parents were from Korea or Vietnam or China, That would have been the end of her story, but fortunately she was not of that background, so she was able to go to Princeton.

00:27:59.000 She wrote a thesis while at Princeton, an undergraduate thesis, and this is what Christopher Hitchens, the acerbic British atheist, wrote about it.

00:28:10.000 I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama's 1985 thesis at Princeton University.

00:28:16.000 Its title, Christopher Hitchens.

00:28:18.000 He was a popular left-wing writer back in the day.

00:28:19.000 campus is, quote, Princeton educated blacks and the black community. To describe it as

00:28:25.000 hard to read would be a mistake. The thesis cannot be read at all in the strict sense

00:28:32.000 of the verb. This is because it was not written in any known language. Christopher Hitchens,

00:28:39.000 he was a he was a popular left-wing writer back in the day.

00:28:42.000 I feel like the writers they have aren't aren't quite as good these days.

00:28:46.000 Yep.

00:28:48.000 And so yeah, Michelle Obama is accusing Donald Trump of the affirmative action of inherited wealth.

00:28:54.000 That's very rich coming from her.

00:28:56.000 And she's just, she's inviting the taunts, obviously.

00:29:00.000 Okay, Jack Pasovic has run into Eric Holder, who obviously didn't do his job vetting Tim Walz.

00:29:05.000 Let's play Cut 68.

00:29:05.000 Excuse me, H.E.

00:29:09.000 Holder, why didn't you vet Tim Walz?

00:29:09.000 Holder, H.E.

00:29:12.000 Why didn't you vet Tim Walz?

00:29:15.000 What about Stolen Valor?

00:29:17.000 Why are you hurting me?

00:29:18.000 What about Stolen Valor?

00:29:20.000 Why didn't you vet him for stolen valor, AG Holder?

00:29:22.000 Excuse me. 1.00

00:29:22.000 You know you're a fool, okay? 1.00

00:29:24.000 He got him to snap, Blake. 1.00

00:29:31.000 He got him to snap, because he knows that he's right.

00:29:33.000 Speaking of DEI pick, Eric Holder's a DEI pick.

00:29:36.000 There's a much longer clip, by the way, that is going viral on Twitter of Jack Posobiec confronting former Attorney General Eric Holder.

00:29:45.000 As Jack Posobiec continues...

00:29:47.000 Have some fun with the DNC.

00:29:49.000 We're going to keep on giving you updates here.

00:29:52.000 I want to harp on that a bit more on Michelle Obama.

00:29:55.000 If you look at her career, it's actually a lot like, it kind of reminds me of Kamala.

00:29:59.000 So Kamala, of course, slept with Willie Brown and used that to get jobs on California boards where you go to two meetings for an hour a month, or you go to two hour-long meetings a month and get paid. 1.00

00:30:11.000 It was about $150,000 in today's money.

00:30:12.000 This was back in the 90s.

00:30:16.000 Meanwhile, Michelle Obama, her career was, she was at a law firm very briefly, and then she seems to have basically, if you read between the lines and know how the legal industry works, she basically failed at this.

00:30:30.000 And then her home run is, her husband gets elected to the Senate, and then she's put on one of those, she's on the board of a hospital, and it pays like $500,000 a year.

00:30:38.000 And all I'm going to say is, I don't think she would have gotten that job if she were still Michelle Robinson. 0.73

00:30:48.000 I think having Obama on her name, and that being the same name as a senator from Illinois, Probably helped a little bit in her doing that.

00:30:59.000 That said, she is a lot better at politics than Kamala is. 1.00

00:31:03.000 I would say a big takeaway tonight is I am very glad that Kamala refused to be shoved aside in favor of Michelle Obama being the nominee.

00:31:15.000 I don't care for her.

00:31:16.000 I don't care for her politics.

00:31:18.000 But she is much better at giving a speech than Kamala Harris is. 0.99

00:31:21.000 She's much better at riffing off the cuff.

00:31:24.000 And she doesn't have Kamala's laugh, which Doug Emhoff was praising during his speech tonight.

00:31:30.000 I'm happy for Doug Emhoff that he likes the laugh.

00:31:34.000 I'm happy for Kamala that she found the one man on earth who likes the laugh.

00:31:39.000 But I don't like the laugh.

00:31:40.000 I don't think America likes the laugh.

00:31:42.000 I think we are fortunate to be running against the laugh.

00:31:45.000 Can we appreciate how much, how Donald Trump lives in the Obama's head rent-free?

00:31:51.000 Because Obama thought that he would be, without a doubt, the most popular politician of the millennium.

00:31:58.000 That there would be no one for 25 years, 30 years, that come even close.

00:32:02.000 And Donald Trump is, in similar ways, has Obama-style characteristics.

00:32:07.000 Very charismatic, populist, insurgent, came out of nowhere.

00:32:11.000 And you see this in the speech.

00:32:13.000 Barack Obama is genuinely rattled by Trump.

00:32:15.000 Like, genuinely rattled and upset by Trump.

00:32:18.000 You'll see here, this is Barack Obama.

00:32:20.000 Also, they spend so much time Talking about Donald Trump.

00:32:24.000 And yes, he is the nominee.

00:32:25.000 But they can't help themselves.

00:32:27.000 It's so funny.

00:32:28.000 They say, oh yeah, we just talk about policies and policies.

00:32:30.000 Really?

00:32:31.000 They do nothing but attack him personally.

00:32:34.000 They attack him personally.

00:32:37.000 Play cut 65.

00:32:39.000 Here's a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago.

00:32:52.000 It has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that's actually been getting worse now that he's afraid of losing to Kamala.

00:33:02.000 There's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes.

00:33:14.000 It's like you said, one thing... Yeah, please.

00:33:17.000 One thing you alluded to, but it has to be remembered, is Trump is basically Obama's fault.

00:33:24.000 It seems that if you go back into the lore, the thing that really tipped Trump into wanting to run for president was when Obama was bullying him at, I think it was the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

00:33:36.000 You know, the, at least I will go down as president.

00:33:39.000 And it seems, if not for that joke, I think it's very plausible Trump doesn't actually run.

00:33:45.000 That was, I have to beat him, I have to prove that I can do it.

00:33:49.000 And as you said, it's not just that he upset Obama's legacy.

00:33:49.000 So that's the thing.

00:33:56.000 He kind of stole the entire era.

00:33:59.000 I think a lot of people thought, oh, we'd have the age of Obama and he would define America.

00:34:03.000 And instead, we clearly very much live in Trump's age.

00:34:07.000 Whether you like him or not, he is the defining figure of the first quarter of this century, far more than Obama is.

00:34:16.000 Yeah, I think Obama seems to be a little annoyed at that.

00:34:21.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:34:23.000 And let's just reiterate this, that Donald Trump disrupted the Obama era where he was able to choose presidents.

00:34:31.000 And in some ways, Obama was so upset because he decided to pass the torch to Hillary, not to Biden.

00:34:39.000 And no, that was, and it was an embarrassment to Obama's staying power, an embarrassment to Obama's political machine or what was left of it.

00:34:48.000 Let's continue.

00:34:50.000 Again, they don't go after policy, not about immigration, not about inflation, not about grocery prices, but it is nicely put, beautifully crafted, charismatically delivered, slippery nonsense.

00:35:09.000 Let's play cut 67.

00:35:13.000 We do not need four more years.

00:35:16.000 A bluster and bumbling and chaos.

00:35:20.000 We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.

00:35:26.000 America's ready for a new chapter.

00:35:29.000 America's ready for a better story.

00:35:33.000 We are ready for a President Kamala Harris.

00:35:40.000 So Blake, I suppose here is the question.

00:35:42.000 I'm glad that Michelle Obama is not running and that Kamala Harris is, but do you think in this era, this sort of bluster and this nonsense has the same appeal it did back in 2008 when it just swept the country in pandemonium?

00:35:58.000 Or have things, have they not changed?

00:36:01.000 Can we counter it because we have Trump?

00:36:04.000 If Michelle Obama were to run, what would that mean based on what you saw tonight?

00:36:09.000 You know, I think sometimes certain individuals do have a certain magical powers to them.

00:36:15.000 It's sort of like how Trump is indestructible.

00:36:18.000 Trump has had 50 different moments where people thought, oh, he's done now, the walls are closing in, and he just always bounces back from it.

00:36:26.000 And I think in a similar way, the Obamas do seem to have that.

00:36:29.000 As much as we say Trump has overthrown his legacy, Obama doesn't have nearly as much of a legacy as he would have liked, Obama himself is just Popular.

00:36:39.000 I don't think the polls are a lie that showed Michelle Obama easily beating Trump if she were the one who'd run.

00:36:46.000 I think polls showed that if Obama had run in 2016, he would have won.

00:36:50.000 You can debate that, but I think it's basically probably true.

00:36:53.000 Obama is a popular guy.

00:36:55.000 Now, his style, I do think, isn't translating very well.

00:37:00.000 I think Obama has a certain magical magnetism to millennials, and it just doesn't go away.

00:37:07.000 But I think a lot of people are fed up with it, and that is what gave Trump so much power.

00:37:12.000 He was very much the contrast to that. 0.92

00:37:14.000 He is the guy who just chops in and says, yeah, all of that weird crap you said about, oh, you know, we don't, we can secure the border without separating people. 0.99

00:37:22.000 Actually, no, that's like crap. 1.00

00:37:24.000 You're full of crap. 1.00

00:37:25.000 You just want to have open borders to bring in people to vote for you. 1.00

00:37:29.000 He says those impolite things that make people really mad.

00:37:34.000 But are obviously true. 0.73

00:37:35.000 And he's done that so much that he's just greatly changed the entire tenor of politics.

00:37:40.000 And I think one of the signs that that's true is read the statements coming out of the Kamala campaign HQ.

00:37:48.000 We've got these like war of words back and forth between the Kamala camp and the Trump camp.

00:37:53.000 And both of them sound like They're trying to be Donald Trump.

00:37:57.000 Obviously Trump sounds like Trump.

00:37:59.000 But the Democrats are trying to get the same energy of being really aggressive.

00:38:03.000 They're ridiculing Trump in a much more aggressive way than they would have ridiculed any other candidate before the Trump era.

00:38:11.000 They are trying to They're trying to copy Trump's method of, oh, we're gonna say the raw truth, so we're just gonna mock Trump, we're gonna bully him, we're just gonna say he's, like, senile.

00:38:24.000 They're really, really aggressive.

00:38:26.000 They're trying to copy Trump.

00:38:28.000 They're not trying to copy Obama.

00:38:30.000 Obama can stand up tonight, do his whole Obama thing, it'll get a ton of claps from the audience, it'll probably get great reviews from the press, but Obama's style of politics is not What they're running with in this cycle, and it's not what you'll be seeing from either party in the future, I think.

00:38:50.000 And I'll say this, that Obama can talk his way very, very well.

00:38:56.000 But absent Donald Trump, these people have had control of the country 12 out of the last 16 years.

00:39:03.000 12 out of the last 16 years, they have had complete control of this country.

00:39:06.000 So if you feel like this country's been going in the wrong direction, if you feel as if, you know, the borders are open, that you're purchasing power is deteriorating, they have been in charge.

00:39:16.000 This is the incumbent power structure.

00:39:18.000 And they act as if that they're fighting the system.

00:39:22.000 That they are fighting the man.

00:39:23.000 Let's continue here that the other side knows it's easy to play on other people's fears and cynicism.

00:39:29.000 They'll tell you that the government is inherently corrupt.

00:39:31.000 I think this is a big losing message for Obama.

00:39:33.000 I think that people generally in this country know after the vaccine and COVID and six feet of distance and 15 days until the spread and closing down schools and mandatory masks and the lies about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and the double standard when it comes to Notes.

00:39:51.000 It's easier to play on people's fears and cynicism.

00:39:53.000 They've lied about the border, they've lied about Ukraine, they've lied about the amount 0.89

00:39:53.000 Always has been. 0.89

00:39:57.000 of people in this country, they've lied about so many things.

00:40:00.000 And Obama is the pro-institutional to institutionalist?

00:40:04.000 Play cut 64. 0.99

00:40:18.000 That sacrifice and generosity are for suckers. 1.00

00:40:25.000 Again, Blake, this suckers and losers hoax. 1.00

00:40:28.000 J.B. 0.99

00:40:28.000 Pritzker again repeated tonight that Donald Trump wanted people to inject bleach. 0.99

00:40:33.000 There's so many of these hoaxes that they continue to push.

00:40:38.000 This is all they have.

00:40:39.000 They have been in charge of the country 12 out of the last 16 years.

00:40:44.000 And Blake, you do not hear them running on a record.

00:40:47.000 They run on projection and abstractions.

00:40:49.000 How much more will people buy this?

00:40:51.000 Projection, abstractions, and outrageous fear-mongering about one specific guy who notably has already been president before and at the least if he was a threat to democracy it wasn't enough of a threat to stop him from surrendering power again after four years.

00:41:07.000 It is, you know, we talked about on the show last week, the origin of gaslighting.

00:41:12.000 It really is It really is a strong tool in their arsenal.

00:41:17.000 They like to use that word because it comes very naturally to them.

00:41:24.000 They basically... The gaslighting comes in where they'll repeat a lie that is so debunked, even their own favorite sites will debunk it.

00:41:33.000 When we say that the Very Fine People thing they say is a lie, we're not linking to an article on, you know, that we created.

00:41:42.000 We're not linking to a post-millennial article.

00:41:44.000 We're not linking to something on The Blaze or The Daily Wire or whatever.

00:41:47.000 We're linking to Snopes, which is a website run by, like, an angry left-winger, I believe.

00:41:53.000 Yes.

00:41:53.000 Even they say it's bogus the bleach thing bogus. They have to admit this

00:41:57.000 They just repeat it over and over and it's like if you repeat it enough people will just think it's true

00:42:03.000 It's kind of like I bet we'll run into Democrats who will be

00:42:06.000 Joking about Trump getting hit by a piece of glass in his ear when we know that that's false

00:42:11.000 But lots of Democrats just believe it because they repeated it enough times that it became embedded in their head

00:42:17.000 Heck, Democrats still think that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house.

00:42:21.000 That was a bit in Saturday Night Live.

00:42:24.000 And so they do that.

00:42:25.000 And then the other gaslighting is, of course, just It's like they're positioning themselves really genuinely as the challenger party, and Donald Trump is the incumbent.

00:42:36.000 Nate Silver has even written about this, that the entire vibe of the race is the feeling that because Kamala is the new person, she hasn't run for president before, she's the challenger, and can they really bamboozle America enough into thinking, yeah, Kamala is the new person who has a new vision, When it's just, no, she's the vice president of an administration that is historically unpopular and was going to get blown up if it stayed on the ticket.

00:43:03.000 She has the ideology that has been the prestige ruling ideology of the United States for nearly two decades now during a period where the overwhelming consensus on both sides is America has been in steep decline. 0.69

00:43:19.000 This is the ideology of American decline. 0.93

00:43:22.000 And they're just like, oh, we can ram through all of that, say that Trump is a rapist, bad man who did all these crime things, and he'll destroy democracy if you elect him. 0.98

00:43:30.000 And that's their whole argument. 0.93

00:43:32.000 They don't have... For a party that is in power as much as the Democrats are, it is shocking how few things they have to brag about.

00:43:39.000 Obama even brought up the Affordable Care Act.

00:43:41.000 He passed that 15 years ago!

00:43:45.000 And it's still a disaster.

00:43:46.000 So let's play more tape here from tonight.

00:43:53.000 I want to get J.B.

00:43:54.000 Let's see what other...

00:43:54.000 Pritzker here.

00:43:57.000 Yeah, it was really Michelle and Barack were the main ones, and they had this just very hard-to-watch roll call.

00:44:02.000 I want to thank some of our members here as they're coming in.

00:44:04.000 I want to thank Caitlin, I want to thank Tamara, Ryan, and Spencer.

00:44:09.000 Thank you, Caitlin, Tamara, Ryan, and Spencer.

00:44:12.000 Thank you guys so much for becoming members.

00:44:13.000 It's members.charliekirk.com.

00:44:15.000 As we are streaming, it is 1230 Eastern almost, so we're just going to go for a little bit longer here.

00:44:22.000 I don't know what happened to Jack Posobiec.

00:44:24.000 I'm not sure where Jack Pasovic is.

00:44:25.000 He's headed back to the hotel, I believe.

00:44:28.000 Good.

00:44:29.000 Democrats tonight talked about looking out for the little guy while demonizing rich corporations and the successful.

00:44:35.000 But the average net worth of the speakers on stage tonight was probably north of $100 million.

00:44:41.000 J.B.

00:44:42.000 Pritzker alone worth $3.5 billion.

00:44:48.000 3.5 billion dollars.

00:44:49.000 And Bernie Sanders spoke tonight.

00:44:50.000 Do we have any Bernie Sanders clips?

00:44:51.000 We'll get these for tomorrow.

00:44:52.000 Bernie Sanders said, quote, that billionaires should not be able to rig or choose who is in charge of either party.

00:44:58.000 Well, you guys are the party of billionaires.

00:45:00.000 While Alexander Soros is there, Lorene Powell Jobs, J.B.

00:45:04.000 Pritzker, they are the party of the oligarchy and the party of the multiple billionaires.

00:45:12.000 Michelle Obama says, until recently, I've mourned the dimming of that hope.

00:45:15.000 And maybe you've experienced the same feelings.

00:45:17.000 Is that a pit in my stomach?

00:45:18.000 A palpable sense of dread about the future?

00:45:21.000 Now, look, Michelle Obama has well-documented anxiety problems.

00:45:27.000 And it's very interesting.

00:45:28.000 When they are not in control of political power, they get anxiety.

00:45:33.000 And being at the DNC, and Blake, I think you would have saw this if you would have come, if we would have had more passes, we would have definitely brought you and the team, that this, for them, is church.

00:45:42.000 For them, this was a religious experience.

00:45:46.000 Let's play Cut 58.

00:45:49.000 Until recently, I have mourned the dimming of that hope.

00:45:56.000 And maybe you've experienced the same feelings?

00:46:00.000 That deep pit in my stomach?

00:46:03.000 A palpable sense of dread about the future?

00:46:10.000 Blake, I mean, it's so dark.

00:46:12.000 And now she's saying, now I have hope because of Kamala Harris.

00:46:16.000 The apocalyptic undertones of the Democrat Party is dramatic.

00:46:22.000 For them, this is their identity.

00:46:23.000 This is their purpose.

00:46:24.000 This is why they do what they do.

00:46:25.000 Yes, Blake.

00:46:26.000 We shared this earlier.

00:46:28.000 There was a tweet by writer Jessica Valenti, and her bio, if you click on Twitter, is, I'm not making this up, I write about abortion every day.

00:46:37.000 She is a full-time abortion obsessive.

00:46:40.000 Great epithet to put on your gravestone one day.

00:46:43.000 And she tweeted this two nights ago, or I think it was last night, but, I'm watching the DNC from vacation and didn't expect to fully cry when Kamala Harris came out.

00:46:56.000 It's just such a relief.

00:47:00.000 Very stable, very stable ruling elites we have, you know, sobbing, sobbing in tears over their abortion superhero, Kamala Harris, swooping in to save them in Chicago.

00:47:10.000 Great, great, great ruling elite that we have.

00:47:13.000 You can remember that, remember when like James Madison wrote that?

00:47:16.000 And he was like, I didn't expect when George Washington walked into Independence Hall to fully cry.

00:47:22.000 What a relief.

00:47:24.000 I missed that Federalist paper.

00:47:28.000 It really is remarkable, and just the connection that they have to just politics is really something.

00:47:37.000 I also just want to push back on just some of the blackpilling, because there's, you know, when you listen to Michelle speak and you hear the applause, you're like, oh my goodness, can we win?

00:47:45.000 Just so everyone is clear, talking to Democrats in Chicago, they are not nearly as confident about their own chances as you might think they are.

00:47:53.000 It's one of the reasons why J.B.

00:47:54.000 Pritzker had to lie now with a debunked Snopes hoax.

00:47:58.000 Play cut 78.

00:48:00.000 During COVID, we supported small businesses and jobs.

00:48:04.000 And Donald, well, Donald told us to inject bleach.

00:48:14.000 Okay, so first of all, no one respects him because, as you can tell, people are still milling about and the hall is full of noise at his own convention in Illinois.

00:48:22.000 Secondly, again, this inject bleach, if they did not have lies, they had nothing to run on.

00:48:29.000 Nothing whatsoever.

00:48:29.000 Nothing.

00:48:31.000 J.B.

00:48:32.000 Pritzker, the failed governor of Illinois, a man who was born on 3rd and thought he had a triple, who has helped destroy the great state of Illinois and further put it into oblivion, Is telling us that Donald Trump wanted people to inject bleach?

00:48:50.000 Very typical of the Democrat Party.

00:48:52.000 A couple more cuts here of Barack Obama.

00:48:56.000 This is really something.

00:48:58.000 We do not want more four years of bluster, bumbling, and chaos.

00:49:00.000 We are currently on the verge of World War III.

00:49:03.000 We are funding a proxy war against Russia and Ukraine, which, mind you, they are avoiding.

00:49:07.000 They're not talking about bragging about Ukraine.

00:49:09.000 There's another war in the Middle East that is looming.

00:49:12.000 We are being invaded on our southern border.

00:49:14.000 10 million people come in our country, nearly 5,000 to 10,000 people a day.

00:49:18.000 And we want more of the same?

00:49:19.000 Do you notice that they do not talk about the amazing things she's done as vice president?

00:49:23.000 Oh yeah, she's managed the border and that she's brokered peace. 0.53

00:49:26.000 No, she does not have a record because the record that she has is one that deep down they're very proud of, but it results in the destruction of the United States of America. 0.66

00:49:34.000 Play cut 67.

00:49:37.000 We do not need four more years.

00:49:40.000 A bluster and bumbling and chaos.

00:49:44.000 We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.

00:49:51.000 America's ready for a new chapter.

00:49:54.000 America's ready for a better story.

00:49:57.000 We are ready for a President Kamala Harris.

00:50:05.000 Blake, can you speak about this?

00:50:08.000 Again, Obama talking about no more bluster, bumbling, and chaos.

00:50:13.000 They try to paint the Trump years as being chaotic.

00:50:16.000 What was only chaotic was their portrayal of this.

00:50:18.000 We've been living through bedlam the last couple of years.

00:50:21.000 Yeah, it's something I do think the Trump campaign should be more aggressive on.

00:50:26.000 I think if there's one thing where Trump has just been a thousand percent vindicated since his presidency, it's on his foreign policy, which was endlessly attacked while he was in office.

00:50:38.000 Yet the facts just so objectively speak for themselves that there were no new conflicts.

00:50:44.000 The stuff he did was basically successful.

00:50:48.000 He did things that had not happened under prior administrations.

00:50:52.000 He created peace deals in the Middle East that had been on hold for half a century.

00:50:58.000 He even had that engagement with North Korea.

00:51:01.000 Did it end perfectly?

00:51:03.000 No, but it was far closer than we'd ever been before.

00:51:05.000 And then he leaves and it's just almost immediately everything starts to disintegrate.

00:51:11.000 We have Russia invades Ukraine. 0.75

00:51:13.000 I think it's almost universally agreed that Putin would not have taken that risk if Trump was still in office because, among other things, he just wouldn't know exactly how Donald Trump would respond to it.

00:51:25.000 And it's A lot of it is like the sheer predictability of how the left reacts to every foreign policy thing by being predictable and also very America last in all of its behaviors makes them sort of easy to shove around, easy to manipulate.

00:51:41.000 And Trump didn't have that.

00:51:42.000 So Trump had peace in the Middle East because people were scared of him.

00:51:46.000 He had peace with Russia because Russia respected him and, you know, was afraid of him.

00:51:51.000 And you'd see that over and over and he leaves, immediately everything starts to fall apart.

00:51:56.000 You have war in Israel, you have war in Ukraine, you have the collapse in Afghanistan, you 0.74

00:52:02.000 might have a war in Iran by the time, a war in Lebanon by the time that we get to election

00:52:06.000 day.

00:52:07.000 Maybe a war in Taiwan, who knows?

00:52:09.000 It truly is very obvious that America is going through this radical drop in its international power, and everyone can see it happening.

00:52:19.000 And the only thing I worry is that people, too many voters, they know this, but they don't know it, know it, in that it only comes into their head if it's being talked about on the news.

00:52:30.000 And there's very much a deliberate Moved by the media, I think, to say only domestic politics is happening right now.

00:52:37.000 We're not seeing too much coverage.

00:52:39.000 The Israel-Iran showdown is still going on. 0.50

00:52:43.000 Is anyone talking about it?

00:52:44.000 Not really.

00:52:45.000 Is anybody talking about the Ukraine war?

00:52:50.000 Not as much.

00:52:51.000 They very much want to tamp this down and just hope that if they're not talking about it, it won't be in voters' minds.

00:52:56.000 And are they able to pull that off?

00:52:58.000 Unfortunately, maybe.

00:53:01.000 I'm afraid you're right.

00:53:02.000 Okay, I just want to wrap this conversation up by thanking those of you that have become members.

00:53:06.000 Again, you can become a member today at members.charliekirk.com.

00:53:28.000 I also want to thank Kyle for your support and for becoming a member.

00:53:32.000 Thank you very much.

00:53:33.000 Blake, final thoughts.

00:53:34.000 Do you feel better?

00:53:37.000 Overall, overall I think I feel good.

00:53:38.000 We're going to have to endure a lot of positive coverage of them, but I do think we've seen, they have in an interesting way hurt their own momentum.

00:53:43.000 than I'll give you my thoughts of what my take being on the ground.

00:53:50.000 Overall I think I feel good.

00:53:51.000 We're going to have to endure a lot of positive coverage of them, but I do think we've seen

00:53:57.000 ... they have in an interesting way hurt their own momentum.

00:54:01.000 It seems a lot of coverage going ... they got a surprisingly big backlash to Kamala

00:54:06.000 finally releasing her first big policy idea and it was price gouging.

00:54:11.000 A lot of press outlets were extremely unimpressed by this, and they vocally said so.

00:54:16.000 I think that was a sour note right as they were going into this.

00:54:20.000 And then, yeah, Obama's speech was fine.

00:54:24.000 In just the normal ways, if you're a normie American watching it, I think it'll give you fuzzy feelings to see Obama talking, to see Michelle talking.

00:54:33.000 Oh yeah, I remember Obama.

00:54:34.000 He was OK.

00:54:36.000 Everyone thinks the president is better once they're in the past.

00:54:38.000 And same deal with Joe Biden's speech.

00:54:43.000 I know obviously we didn't care for it, but I think they stage managed it pretty

00:54:47.000 well to make Biden look all right.

00:54:50.000 And they'll do the same thing tomorrow with Walz.

00:54:51.000 They'll do it with Kamala. 0.90

00:54:53.000 But I don't think we're having any kind of big meltdown.

00:54:56.000 I don't think they're hitting it out of the park.

00:54:59.000 And as long as they're not doing that, I think their inherent weaknesses are only going to grow more glaring with time.

00:55:05.000 They are still stuck with Kamala Harris.

00:55:08.000 They are stuck with a woman that they did not want on the ticket for all of the manifest weaknesses she has. 0.99

00:55:14.000 She's not good on her feet.

00:55:16.000 She's not good on policy. 0.81

00:55:17.000 She's not really naturally that likable.

00:55:21.000 She doesn't have a compelling personal story.

00:55:23.000 All of those things are going to bubble up, and I just am very skeptical that they'll be able to essentially run the gaslighting campaign for two whole months of, don't ask too many questions about Kamala, just don't think about it too hard, just vote for her because Trump is bad and he'll end democracy.

00:55:41.000 I think that is the fundamental flaw of the Democratic game plan, and I don't see anything this week that is making that flaw go away.

00:55:50.000 Well said.

00:55:51.000 I actually feel better after being at the DNC.

00:55:54.000 They're all vibes.

00:55:54.000 They're all emotion.

00:55:56.000 They are still Democrats.

00:55:57.000 They have a failed record.

00:55:58.000 They have no record whatsoever to run on the economy, on the border, on inflation, on foreign policy.

00:56:05.000 It's all about vibes.
