Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are the most radical ticket the country has ever seen, but is that a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean for the future of the Democratic Party and the country as a whole? On this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie talks about what he thinks is happening in the Democratic primary, and why he thinks it s going to be a disaster for Donald Trump. He's joined by Savannah Hernandez of Turning Point USA Frontlines for a preview of next week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which is a must-listen! Plus, a look at the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data that shows inflation is on track to hit 3.2% year-over-year in September 2019, and a warning from the Home Depot about a slowdown in home renovation projects. What does that tell us about the economy, jobs, wages, and inflation? And why it s not good news for President Trump?

00:00:00.000Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:02.000I'm Alexander Marlowe, Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart News, and I'm in for Charlie today.
00:00:06.000We start the show with a breakdown of the presidential race, and I recount some details of my sit-down with Donald Trump from last week, before we're joined by Savannah Hernandez from Turning Point USA Frontlines for a preview of next week's DNC in Chicago, It is going to be absolutely wild, and you're not going to want to miss these details.
00:00:23.000As always, please subscribe to the show, leave some great reviews.
00:00:26.000It's an incredible show that I listen to all the time.

00:00:50.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:56.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:46.000But you read the article, and the only main source in it is Anthony Scaramucci, the mooch, the mooch is back, and he's trash-talking, and that's getting lead headlines.
00:02:56.000The media is whipped up in a frenzy over the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, but the reality just does not seem to be there, because Trump is winning in the Daily Mail's own poll by two points.
00:03:07.000So what really is the story of this election?
00:03:09.000Everything that I'm seeing so far indicates that that story is the white working-class voter, and you don't have to take my word for it.
00:03:27.000Given the immigration, given the open borders, given the fact that she's been soft on crime, given the fact that thanks to her and Joe Biden's watch, we had fentanyl streaming over our border and ravaging these communities, given the fact that their globalist policies are what outsourced American jobs overseas, cleared out all those factories, Cleared out so many of our energy states so that we could buy oil from other places around the world, sending our strategic oil reserves to places like China.
00:03:54.000Do you think the people who've been affected by that are actually moving in the direction of the most radical ticket of all time?
00:04:02.000It doesn't mean we should rest on our laurels and become poll truthers.
00:04:06.000But when you're seeing the most radical ticket we've ever seen, when we said Kamala Harris, arguably the most left-wing candidate ever, And then she picks a more left-wing vice president on the ticket with her, then how do you expect that the white working class are going to be the people who are going to stand up and deliver this election for her?
00:04:24.000I'm just not believing it for a second.
00:04:27.000So I spent a fair bit of time with President Trump last week, and it's always really interesting to see what's on his mind.
00:04:32.000As you might imagine, when you do interviews with President Trump, he's the alpha in the room, so he controls a lot of the conversation.
00:04:39.000But of course I'm going to ask him, what's the strategy?
00:05:22.000The only economic record that we know of her is that she was the tie-breaking vote in things like Build Back Better, which became the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:05:31.000In that act, what she did, and all the Democrats, She wanted more IRS agents, tens of thousands of them, to do things like producing taxation on tips.
00:05:43.000Now Trump says we're not going to tax tips, and all of a sudden she thinks, hey, that's a great idea.
00:05:49.000But it is a completely plagiarized idea from Donald Trump, and it's one that her recent voting records suggest she's got the opposite opinion.
00:05:58.000So she's very vulnerable on issues like the fact that she was someone who benefited from affirmative action, was someone who is the anointed candidate of the donors, has never received a single delegate in a Democrat primary.
00:06:26.000But it's really hammering those key things, hammering those key points about a record—open borders, soft on crime, the tampon Tim, tampons in the boys' room.
00:06:37.000This is how Trump is going to win the election, at least according to him.
00:06:40.000But is that going to be enough with the media doing what they're doing, which is acting as though she's the chosen one, she's got all the momentum, and Trump's campaign is in disarray, even though things seemed kind of calm while I was over there?
00:06:52.000Now, I'm not a deep insider in Trump world.
00:06:55.000I'll tell you, everyone seems like they're doing pretty good.
00:06:57.000And all this media hype that they don't like the J.D.
00:07:00.000Vance pick, everyone seems to love the J.D.
00:07:05.000goes out to some of these shutter factories, which he will do.
00:07:08.000And he's going to go out to some of these places in rural America that have been ravaged and devastated by the Biden-Harris administration policies.
00:07:15.000They're also going to love him when he finally gets into a debate with Tim Walz.
00:07:19.000So Tim Walz, as you guys might know, the left-wing guy, and he's playing to these working class sort of hillbilly but lib attitudes.
00:07:30.000The public is going to see through that.
00:07:32.000He's got strong ties to China, stronger ties than Joe Biden does.
00:07:37.000Recall that he said his wedding date on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
00:07:45.000CCP needed to know everything that he was doing so he would have been an easy target for the Chinese Communist Party to try to basically infiltrate the American government.
00:07:54.000All of this needs to be looked into in the deep level.
00:07:59.000So he's clearly someone who's going to be targeted for Chinese influence.
00:08:03.000And there's no evidence to suggest that he avoided it because he's been a lifelong Sinophile.
00:08:09.000And of course his stolen valor record, which he was on defense for this week because of what he's done, which is exaggerate his military service.
00:08:22.000He's going to act like you're denigrating my service, you're disparaging me, etc.
00:08:25.000But that's not at all what's happening.
00:08:27.000What's going to be happening with Governor Waltz is that he's exaggerated it in order to gain his political clout that he has.
00:08:35.000And that's where a line that Americans are just not willing to cross.
00:08:39.000As we've gotten more godless, as we've gotten away from some of our Judeo-Christian roots in a lot of ways, propriety in public life is just not seen as that virtuous anymore.
00:08:48.000People don't care as much as they used to.
00:08:50.000But one third rail in American life, for sure, that everyone seems to agree on, is you can't steal valor.
00:08:58.000And when you're out there exaggerating your record, then lying about it, And then acting as though that you have some sort of PTSD because you were in Italy eating a bunch of cannolis.
00:09:08.000Not saying he wasn't doing other cool stuff too.
00:09:12.000But you can't act like you're a combat vet when you're not.
00:09:15.000And you can't act like you're suffering PTSD when you don't.
00:09:19.000And then use those things to leverage your political clout and advance your career.
00:09:22.000Especially when you're the type of guy who's doing business deals overseas with the Chinese and then acting as though you're some sort of avuncular middle America guy.

00:11:36.000Let's play Cut 84, please, from CNN, guys.
00:11:40.000Would it kill you guys to have a press conference?
00:11:42.000Why hasn't she had a press conference?
00:11:45.000Listen, the Vice President and Governor Walz have been busy crisscrossing this country since the launch of this campaign and adding Governor Walz to the ticket.
00:11:53.000You saw the ways in which they went across the battleground states last week, generating rallies of thousands, 10,000 here, 15,000 there.
00:12:03.000But Michael, you know a campaign rally is not a press conference.
00:12:19.000You hear her take questions as she's out on the stump, and as she said last week, we're going to be having a sit-down interview here before the end of the month.
00:12:26.000I don't want to, you know, belabor this, but one interview before the end of the month?
00:12:44.000After all of this press coverage, think about that Time Magazine puff piece that Kamala Harris got with the picture that looked like Melania, as Trump said, the sketch of her.
00:12:57.000She wouldn't even answer questions for that.
00:13:00.000So they're clearly trying to avoid the media.
00:13:02.000And what my fear is, is that it will work for them.
00:13:05.000My fear is that they don't need to talk to them because they're going to get positive coverage anyway, because the media worked so hard to get Biden removed.
00:13:11.000So they're all in on getting Kamala elected, if she talks to them or not.
00:13:15.000It's a pretty epic power move, if you think about it.
00:13:17.000But when CNN's Jim Acosta is the one who's suggesting, hey, can you guys talk to us, please?
00:13:22.000And their answer is, well, she's having a rally.
00:13:25.000And they think they can get away with that.
00:14:41.000She's talking particularly about her economic message.
00:14:45.000She's also been going across the country filling arenas and talking about what she's going to do on the rights that were robbed for women when Roe was taken away.
00:14:57.000The border crisis that she's going to solve.
00:14:59.000That her economic policy won't benefit billionaires.
00:15:04.000Okay, so she likes abortions, and she's going to tell us what she thinks of the economy at some point this week.
00:15:14.000That's what she wanted to do when she passed Build Back Better, or the Inflation Reduction Act, whatever you want to call it.
00:15:20.000Can we put Swalwell on the bench, please?
00:15:23.000We've got a guy who has deep ties to China on the ticket now, and then you've got the guy who is sleeping with Feng Feng Feng, the Chinese agent.
00:15:32.000What is he doing in the Congress anyway, and why is he being invited to a pint of this stuff?
00:15:37.000Now that Walz is on the ticket, I think they should really send Swalwell to the bench.
00:16:55.000But the exchange people thought was the corruption was at least you would get some sort of level of competence in government and you'd get some sort of services.
00:17:06.000And yet they put the DNC there, and I don't know if the Democrats are going to get what they bargained for, because there's massive levels of protests that are being anticipated.
00:17:19.000And I do think that this is a huge reason why Tim Walz was selected over, let's say, a Josh Shapiro, because Walz is a favored crowd of the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party.
00:17:33.000I just spoke to President Trump about this.
00:17:35.000He was saying how the Democrats have become the pro-Hamas party.
00:17:37.000He said Chuck Schumer is basically a Palestinian now.
00:17:41.000This is what the left is grappling with right now.
00:17:44.000Do they continue to pander to these radicals and their list of demands?
00:17:48.000Well, that is what we have in store for us this week.
00:17:51.000Savannah Hernandez, TPUSA contributor, has been out there trying to document some of the degradation and devastation the city of Chicago has faced.
00:17:59.000You're going to have to watch the video to get the full context, but guys, let's get some of the audio.
00:18:04.000Now in Chicago, as a direct result of Kamala Harris' border policy, we have seen 46,000 illegal immigrants make their way to this city.
00:18:14.000300 million in taxpayer dollars have been allocated to the food, the shelter, the medical care for these migrants.
00:18:22.000Meanwhile, the average Chicago resident has been expressing a lot of frustration because they feel that these migrants are being treated better than them.
00:18:31.000Also, let's note that Kamala Harris, who is supposed to be here, Let's bring in Savannah Hernandez, Frontline's reporter for TPUSA.
00:18:38.000Savannah, it looks like a war zone out there.
00:18:40.000has been trying to escape that title, but it is her policies that have brought Chicago
00:18:58.000Well, first off, I thought it was very important for Turning Point to be on the ground and in Chicago ahead of the DNC because as we've seen previously, we know that political leaders love to clean up the cities before political conferences or world leaders are said to arrive. Let's not
00:19:14.000forget when Gavin Newsom went and cleaned up downtown San Francisco because Xi Jinping was
00:19:19.000said to arrive, but refused to do it for the residents of California. So I really
00:19:23.000wanted to come to Chicago and be on the ground before the city had the opportunity to
00:19:28.000potentially do that as Board of Reserves Kamala Harris is supposed to be here next week for the DNC.
00:19:35.000And, you know, like you just said, it's a war zone.
00:19:37.000I would venture to say that that is accurate.
00:19:40.000Let's take a peek at the headlines of the United States of America, not only in Chicago, but also in New York, in California, in Texas.
00:19:48.000state you want to, and I guarantee you, you can find a headline of an illegal immigrant that shouldn't be here attacking, raping, murdering, robbing an American citizen.
00:19:58.000So, the border policy has gotten completely out of hand and here in Chicago, because I have reported on this extensively nationwide, the migrant crisis here is actually extremely visible.
00:20:09.000Now, you can walk down the streets of downtown Chicago and you'll see these migrants with signs saying, please help me, I need medicine, I need food for my children.
00:20:19.000There's a lot of little kids out here on the street, which is something different that you might see from New York, for example.
00:20:25.000Um, but there's also a lot of single-aged men.
00:20:28.000Now, I put myself in some pretty dangerous situations to get on-the-ground work, but I'll be honest with you, Alex, when I tell you that I was quite nervous to be around a lot of these single, uh, migrant men that are just out here on the streets of downtown Chicago.
00:20:42.000I was actually walking down the street last night, and I was getting back called by some migrants that were on scooters, so it's not a safe environment, and this is what the DNC is looking like just one week, or Chicago is looking like just one week ahead of the day.
00:20:56.000It just blows your mind because it feels like a self-owned and own goal by the Democrats because Chicago is a mess because of their policies, both their failure on a local government level, and then the open borders policies that have led for this migrant crime wave that they're not setting their best.
00:21:14.000President Trump was correct about that.
00:21:15.000And now they're there catcalling reporters.
00:21:20.000How do you expect they're going to save face?
00:21:23.000You know, that is a great question because the way that the city has been trying to fix this issue, and this isn't just in Chicago, this is nationwide, is by taking migrants out of downtown areas and pushing them into these suburbs.
00:21:34.000So a lot of those suburban voters, a lot of, for example, here in Chicago,
00:21:38.000those black residents feel very disenfranchised because they see the government
00:21:42.000not only providing shelter, food, medical care to these migrants who shouldn't even be here,
00:21:47.000but on top of that, they're pushing them into the neighborhoods and the communities
00:21:52.000of lower income residents who have been asking for government assistance
00:21:55.000or for the government to do something for years.
00:21:58.000Like you played in that initial video, the city of Chicago has spent $300 million
00:22:03.000on people that shouldn't even be here.
00:22:08.000And then on top of that, pushing them into these neighborhoods.
00:22:11.000So, you know, it's a really interesting place that we're at ahead of the election.
00:22:15.000And I think we do need to continue to hound home that, once again, this is Kamala Harris's border crisis.
00:22:22.000She was deemed the border czar back in 2022.
00:22:24.000She has spoken out against ICE multiple times.
00:22:27.000She has called for free medical care for illegal immigrants.
00:22:30.000So what Chicago residents are experiencing right now and what Americans nationwide are experiencing right now is a direct result of this administration.
00:22:39.000And, you know, they keep promising Kamala specifically that she's got to clean it up when she gets into office.
00:22:44.000But let's ask the question, why haven't they cleaned it up over the past four years?
00:22:47.000Why do we have 12 million illegal immigrants in our country that shouldn't be here right now?
00:22:52.000It's such a tough spot because she's already in office.
00:23:17.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:23:21.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:23:23.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:23:29.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:23:35.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:24:43.000And in a statement, pretty solid message here towards the DNC, they said, with one week to go before the Democratic National Convention, protesters are coalescing around three demands for all elected officials, call for a lasting ceasefire, reject the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, and legislate an arms embargo.
00:25:06.000So it basically calls for let Hamas win and disavow Israel.
00:25:13.000The Democrats are completely stuck here because they can't do this and keep their donor base.
00:25:17.000And if they don't cave to some degree, they're going to lose some of their voter base.
00:25:21.000You know, it's such an interesting situation to look at, Alex, because as we like to say, the left eats their own, and this is what we're seeing right now.
00:25:28.000We are seeing the creation of a decade, really, of the democratic and progressive left pandering to communists, and now they have taken over, and they're taking over city streets.
00:25:39.000They're going to be violently protesting for the DNC next week.
00:25:42.000I've been, you know, monitoring a lot of their groups and organizations, And they're going to be busing people in from all over the
00:25:49.000nation for one of the biggest protests against the DNC because they want their demands
00:25:54.000And a lot of the groups as well are the same ones that have previously shut down Chicago-O'Hare
00:25:59.000in road blockages similar to this one.
00:26:02.000So don't be surprised if next week you can't fly out of Chicago and everybody is stranded
00:26:06.000here on behalf of the Israel-Palestine issue.
00:26:09.000So, you know, something to look out for next week.
00:26:12.000The radical left has gotten completely out of hand in this country.
00:26:16.000And that, again, too, is a direct result of democratic and progressive policy that has brought us to this point, right, where we have citizens who think that it is okay to use violence, to use domestic terrorism against their fellow counterparts or even politicians to get their point across.
00:26:33.000Um, so this this election season is very interesting because like you said we're just at a very interesting cross point I would say.
00:26:39.000So I'm told producer Mr. D knows Chicago very well.
00:26:43.000And what he's telling me is protesters are going to block Lakeshore Drive.
00:26:46.000Every person he knows in the city is clearing out.
00:26:48.000It's going to be a global rally of radicals.
00:26:50.000So people are going to be descending from all over the world.
00:26:53.000And he thinks it could be 40,000 total protesters from 200 different groups.
00:26:58.000I mean, this is, from a news perspective, I couldn't be more excited about this, Savannah.
00:27:03.000But are you nervous to be there on the ground?
00:27:08.000I am, especially since, let's remember back in 2020, it was Chicago that was the epicenter of a lot of those violent riots for George Floyd.
00:27:16.000This is a city that is known for its protesters, and we already have seen what look like threats of violence against DNC participants from Antifa members in the city.
00:27:28.000I was just watching a video from one of the organizations here in Chicago yesterday, and they were saying, you know, protesting It's not supposed to be peaceful, essentially.
00:27:37.000So I think we all know what's going to happen next week.
00:27:39.000Like you just said, from a news perspective, I think that it's going to be very exciting.
00:27:42.000But from the perspective of an on-the-ground reporter, I mean, I never like seeing the, you know, the civil fights that are happening, and it's been crazy.
00:28:11.000So again, front and center, of course, are going to be those protests.
00:28:15.000I have seen so much movement on social media of a lot of these pro-Palestinian groups that are going to be busing people in from all over the nation.
00:28:24.000So I am anticipating that what we saw in Washington DC, for example, when Benjamin Netanyahu came for a visit to Congress, Is potentially a taste of what we may be seeing in Chicago.
00:28:36.000Like I was saying in that previous segment as well, let's not forget that Chicago was the epicenter of some of the most violent protests during the 2020 George Floyd riots.
00:28:44.000So there is a big portion of the population here that will take advantage of a situation and root or loot and riot just because the opportunity is available.
00:28:54.000So I do think that the tensions are going to be high next week.
00:28:57.000And like you said, the Democratic Party right now is really in this very strange point where they're having to balance the wants of their very
00:29:06.000progressive and radical voter base who are coming in, threatening violence, threatening to
00:29:14.000And I do think that we're going to see the shutdown of major highways here, potentially Chicago, O'Hare.
00:29:21.000We'll see what ends up happening, but that's what's going to be going on next week.
00:29:25.000And then of course, too, you do have that migrant angle as well.
00:29:29.000Actually, one of my sources is telling me that there are going to be migrant groups here, too.
00:29:34.000Now that we're talking about this, I'm remembering this from this angle.
00:29:37.000There's going to be migrant groups here protesting on behalf of illegal immigrants, saying that the Democrats need to give illegal immigrants full citizenship, full health care.
00:29:46.000So that is something else that's going to be happening here.
00:29:49.000And again, based on this week's reporting, there is quite a large population of illegals here in the city already asking for more benefits from the government.
00:29:57.000So it's interesting because you're trying to force the issue and try to get normal people to pay attention to the reality of the Biden-Harris administration policies, which is essentially open borders.
00:30:08.000And I know that they're doing some things to try to shore up some places between checkpoints.
00:30:12.000But the main issue is still catch and release, which is this parole system that we have in place where you simply just claim that you have a legitimate right to be here and you're releasing to the country and you'll probably never get a court date.
00:30:24.000And then if you do, you might not show up and you're basically free to put down roots.
00:30:28.000and to take resources from Americans who are here legit.
00:30:31.000And that's the stated policy of this administration.
00:30:36.000And all those Northern Triangle agreements and the cessation of the wall and the ending of Title 42,
00:30:42.000all of this is a reality that Americans are living day to day.
00:30:46.000So it puts the Democrats in a terrifically tough spot.
00:30:49.000We had a report from earlier this week at Breitbart how a Biden-Harris agency's freed an illegal alien in the U.S., and just a couple months later, he rapes and murders an 11-year-old girl.
00:31:00.000These stories should be top-tier issues for most major outlets, but they just want to announce how much joy Kamala Harris is bringing to the ticket.
00:31:10.000Are these all acts of joy that you're witnessing there in Chicago right now, Savannah?
00:31:15.000And again, what needs to be hounded home is that American women and children are absolutely not safe under this administration.
00:31:21.000You know, we had a similar story come out of New York just yesterday as well, right, where you had that Haitian migrant that raped a 15-year-old in one of the shelters.
00:32:29.000She now gets to live legally in the United States of America with these NDA papers, and she doesn't have to go to court until 2026.
00:32:37.000So, just an idea of how badly things are being run here.
00:32:40.000You know, a lot of these migrants are being shipped to sanctuary cities in which they cannot be deported by ICE because of the laws that are protecting them, and then they're getting free medical care.
00:32:49.000Oh, and by the way, too, Alex, another thing I was discussing here in Chicago is the outbreak of measles and tuberculosis.
00:32:56.000I was walking down the street just yesterday, two minutes outside of my hotel, a migrant's talking to me about how he contracted tuberculosis in a migrant shelter.
