The Charlie Kirk Show - Trump's Butler Return + Flipping the Senate

The momentum is behind President Trump as he heads back to Ohio to face off against Joe Biden in the final stretch of the Democratic primary race. Charlie and Eric discuss the latest polling numbers and take a look back at the last polling day of the campaign in October of 2020, when the race was much closer than it is now, and look ahead to the final sprint to Election Day in Pennsylvania where Donald Trump is returning to a state that could determine the outcome of the election and a state where he was shot back in July of 2018, and how that changed the trajectory of the race and changed the landscape of the entire presidential election.

00:01:35.000 It's very important. Tomorrow, I believe, the end of the race begins. 0.97

00:01:39.000 The final sprint. Tomorrow, Donald Trump returns to Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:01:44.000 To the state that could determine the entire election.

00:01:47.000 To the city.

00:01:49.000 Where Donald Trump was shot back in July.

00:01:52.000 And the media has done everything they can to cover up and forget that Donald Trump was shot.

00:01:57.000 His ear was pierced by a bullet.

00:02:00.000 Now, Joy Reid and many other people on MSNBC have said, oh, how do we know that Donald Trump was actually shot?

00:02:05.000 You could see it very clearly on the video that Donald Trump was shot and mere millimeters saved his life.

00:02:13.000 I think a lot of people don't talk about it, even in conservative circles, because it's so disturbing to understand.

00:02:20.000 It's so disturbing to confront what that means, that we can't protect our former presidents, that we could have gone into an American Civil War, that we were just about to have the opposition leader be murdered on live television.

00:02:33.000 It's almost too dramatic, too heavy.

00:02:37.000 The American people almost kind of just say, I can't handle it.

00:02:40.000 It's just too much for me. Well, Donald Trump is returning and forcing the issue.

00:02:45.000 The beginning of the end of this campaign.

00:02:48.000 We are 32 days out from counting day.

00:02:52.000 Not election day. It is counting day in this country.

00:02:56.000 Arizona ballots go out on Wednesday.

00:02:58.000 The voter registration deadline is quickly approaching.

00:03:00.000 Voting is about to begin in Georgia, North Carolina.

00:03:04.000 Voting has already started in Virginia.

00:03:06.000 Voting has already started in Wisconsin.

00:03:09.000 In person early voting is about to begin in Florida.

00:03:11.000 Election month is starting.

00:03:14.000 And the final sprint begins tomorrow.

00:03:19.000 Now looking at the data and looking at the state of this race, I want to go back into where the race was back in October of 2020.

00:03:27.000 I want to talk about a state that Trump is almost certainly going to win.

00:03:32.000 A state that is very, very pro-Trump.

00:03:36.000 A state that Donald Trump has changed from a battleground state to a comfortable Republican state.

00:03:41.000 And that is the state of Ohio.

00:03:43.000 Donald Trump will win Ohio.

00:03:45.000 You don't have to worry about it.

00:03:47.000 Do you know that at this date, on October 4th, 2020, Joe Biden was up two and a half points in the real clear politics average in the state of Ohio?

00:03:58.000 Joe Biden was up at two and a half points at this moment in time in 2020.

00:04:04.000 Blake? There was a poll from Quinnipiac that finished on November 1st, the last day of polling, that had Biden up four in Ohio.

00:04:14.000 And Donald Trump won by eight.

00:04:16.000 8.2. So that is a 12.2 point polling miss.

00:04:21.000 Want more? Iowa, the average was Trump up two, also won by 8.2.

00:04:26.000 And so that was a six-point polling miss.

00:04:29.000 Florida, average, Biden up one, Trump won by 3.3.

00:04:33.000 4.3 polling miss.

00:04:35.000 Now, we can't bank on the same sort of dramatic polling misses this cycle that we saw back in 2020.

00:04:42.000 We'd like to believe that maybe these pollsters have adjusted their models, that they have updated their matrix.

00:04:48.000 However, we don't know that.

00:04:49.000 We do know, though, that it is legitimate to say that back in 2020, this was a much harder environment for Donald Trump to remain as president than right now in 2024 for Donald Trump to become president again.

00:05:04.000 We had COVID death totals on TV. We had BLM marches in the streets. 0.76

00:05:08.000 We had race riots. Donald Trump ran out of money, and we've mentioned that before.

00:05:12.000 The Trump campaign was bankrupt at this time four years ago.

00:05:17.000 Donald Trump is not bankrupt right now.

00:05:19.000 He's being minorly outspent by about 10 or 15% more in hard money.

00:05:23.000 But Donald Trump has television advertisements on TV. He's finishing strong.

00:05:27.000 He's going to do a rallypalooza.

00:05:29.000 And that all begins tomorrow in Butler.

00:05:31.000 And let me tell you right now what I'm seeing happening in real time.

00:05:34.000 And I'm seeing it actually less in the Trump data and more in the Senate data.

00:05:41.000 Front page of Axios.com.

00:05:45.000 Now, this is fascinating.

00:06:02.000 We have seen Trump be up five, six, seven, eight points on the Senate candidates almost the entire

00:06:07.000 cycle. That is changing in real time. We're seeing the Senate candidates and Trump start

00:06:12.000 to run closer and closer together. That is a warning sign for Kamala Harris and the Democrats 1.00

00:06:18.000 that Donald Trump also is about to take off.

00:06:22.000 We have said repeatedly on this program that Donald Trump is the Mariano Rivera of politics.

00:06:28.000 He is the closer. He is the finisher.

00:06:30.000 The last 30 days Donald Trump locks in and he is the best finisher that we have seen.

00:06:35.000 He does more rallies. He stays on message.

00:06:37.000 He visits the key states.

00:06:39.000 He draws attention and he makes Kamala Harris seem small and insignificant.

00:06:45.000 That begins tomorrow in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:06:47.000 And I can tell you, I have now dialogued with two pollsters in the last 24 hours.

00:06:53.000 And both of them told me, Charlie, this race is super tight.

00:06:56.000 But we are starting to see the momentum slowly but surely break in Donald Trump's direction.

00:07:05.000 Break on the issues.

00:07:06.000 Break on what matters most.

00:07:08.000 It is a bullish trend beginning to go in Donald Trump's direction.

00:07:14.000 Now, I'm not guaranteeing victory, but I am saying that there is a clear shot from this point forward to counting day, everybody, that we are beginning to see the trajectory favor us.

00:07:26.000 Blake, we have grown used to Senate candidates being almost irrelevant.

00:07:30.000 We're seeing now the Senate candidates break in a competitive favor.

00:07:35.000 What does that mean for the election?

00:07:37.000 Well, one thing that's good is it kind of throws Democrats into a bit of disarray.

00:07:42.000 For example, if their candidates have to worry, uh-oh, maybe we're going to get dragged down by Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:07:50.000 So you force them to separate themselves more from Kamala.

00:07:54.000 You create fractious divides within the Democrats.

00:07:57.000 This also affects money.

00:07:59.000 If they have to send money to try to bail out a Senate race they thought was secure, that's money they're not going to be able to spend as much on I think?

00:08:23.000 It's a long shot, but it's more likely than, frankly, Trump winning Virginia, I think.

00:08:29.000 And it'd be great if we won Virginia, but we're not focused on doing that, because we only win that if we're winning everywhere.

00:08:36.000 But the Senate race does matter, and if you force Democrats to go bail out Tim Kaine...

00:08:41.000 That's resources that they aren't diverting to Pennsylvania, to Georgia, to North Carolina.

00:08:46.000 And I can tell you, I was scrolling through social media last night on Erica's phone.

00:08:51.000 I don't have X. And I saw six Tim Kaine ads on X. Six.

00:08:56.000 Where they were embedded in the feed.

00:08:58.000 And that's because we did a hung cow tweet. 0.52

00:09:01.000 And so it was attached to it.

00:09:03.000 Somebody is pumping money right now into the Tim Kaine race.

00:09:07.000 And Tim Kaine was rated as very safe.

00:09:09.000 Baldwin was rated as very safe.

00:09:12.000 And I love what you said.

00:09:13.000 That's such an important point. If you can start to get Tammy Baldwin to distance herself from Kamala Harris, Sherrod Brown to distance himself from Kamala Harris, that only plays into the factor that she's radical.

00:09:24.000 We've already had this. John Tester has to be like, I didn't vote for Kamala.

00:09:28.000 And John Tester, by the way, is refusing to say whether or not he's voting for Kamala Harris.

00:09:31.000 Really? Oh, that's amazing.

00:09:32.000 He's still saying that. He's like, I'm not sure who I'm voting for.

00:09:35.000 I'm keeping an open mind.

00:09:36.000 I might vote for third party.

00:09:38.000 And he's running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat.

00:09:40.000 Montana, multiple U.S. Senate races are tightening, moving from lean Democrat to statistical ties or even with Republicans ahead.

00:09:48.000 Republican Eric Hovda is now statistically tied with Tammy Baldwin.

00:09:51.000 With per internal polling from both campaigns after being down 7% Wisconsin.

00:09:56.000 Republican Bernie Moreno has recently been polling slightly ahead of Democrat Sherrod Brown in Ohio.

00:10:01.000 Hung Kao is within the margin of error against Democrat Tim Kaine.

00:10:04.000 Tim Sheehy is now consistently ahead of John Tester.

00:10:07.000 Multiple Senate candidates have momentum, which is a bad sign for Kamala. 0.98

00:10:11.000 Everybody, we are 32 days out.

00:10:13.000 It's going to be a momentum race.

00:10:15.000 We are beginning to see the momentum break in our favor.

00:10:19.000 That is why every one of us must chase ballots, get your friends out to the polls, to vote early, sprint to the end.

00:10:27.000 More critical than ever.

00:10:31.000 You didn't vote for this recession or inflation, but you sure as heck have to pay for it at the pump, at the grocery store, and with that growing stack of unpaid bills.

00:11:20.000 Schumer's Wisconsin problem as we have Hovde coming up.

00:11:23.000 Chuck Schumer can't afford to lose anyone.

00:11:25.000 Montana is in trouble, Axios reports.

00:11:28.000 Ohio and Michigan are toss-ups.

00:11:30.000 But Wisconsin is supposed to be like Nevada and Arizona.

00:11:34.000 A tight but safest race as long as nothing goes awry.

00:11:37.000 Multiple Democrat sources are sounding the alarm in the Senate.

00:11:42.000 A national Democrat strategist working on Senate campaigns pointed specifically to a recent poll from Marquette University, which showed Baldwin with a six-point lead.

00:11:51.000 However, they say the race is much, much closer than that, they said.

00:11:55.000 Over the next month, Republicans in the state have nearly a $3.5 million spending advantage on the airwaves.

00:12:01.000 Isn't that nice to have a Republican have a spending advantage for us? 0.60

00:12:03.000 Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it.

00:12:04.000 According to a source familiar with ad buys in Wisconsin.

00:12:08.000 You see, the Democrats went all in on an early blitzkrieg spending strategy.

00:12:15.000 Presidential races are different than midterms.

00:12:18.000 As the electorate expands and lower propensity voters start to get into...

00:12:24.000 The election. It is harder and harder now for Democrats to withstand the storm that is coming.

00:12:34.000 You see, the Democrats...

00:12:37.000 The storm. I don't...

00:12:40.000 I mean the political storm that is coming.

00:12:43.000 You see, Democrats right now are in a place where they want to run out the clock.

00:12:47.000 NBC News reports Kamala Harris playing it safe.

00:12:53.000 Harris is playing it safe.

00:12:55.000 Some Democrats worry that could doom her campaign.

00:12:58.000 Democrats are concerned that she's acting like she's sitting on a lead in a tied race.

00:13:03.000 Sounds like Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016. 0.75

00:13:07.000 Even as polling shows the presidential race is a toss up, Kamala Harris has been running with a measure of risk aversion that some Democrat strategists and activists worry has failed to fully capitalize on the excitement surrounding her entry into the race. 1.00

00:13:18.000 This is such a funny alternate reality.

00:13:21.000 Like, the excitement around her.

00:13:22.000 Like, yeah, that's because she's not doing anything.

00:13:25.000 Like, why is she playing it so safe?

00:13:26.000 Like, do you guys all have amnesia?

00:13:28.000 Do you remember June?

00:13:30.000 Everyone knows Kamala is terrible. 1.00

00:13:32.000 This is the correct strategy for her.

00:13:34.000 This is the downside.

00:13:36.000 That's correct. The Democrat strategist Steve Shurtleff, a former Democrat speaker of the New Hampshire House, said, quote, They're trying to keep her away.

00:13:45.000 It's like seeing your favorite Hollywood actor and then they're on a talk show and they can't even speak.

00:13:51.000 The President of the United States has to be able to be on their toes all the time and answer questions, he added.

00:13:55.000 It's so obvious she's been avoiding the one-on-one interviews and the voters deserve better, the Democrat strategist says.

00:14:02.000 Remember, the original strategy was that Donald Trump would be in jail right now.

00:14:06.000 The original strategy was that the lawfare would have slowed us down and said it has sped us up.

00:14:11.000 The original strategy was that October was going to be a really bad month for Trump.

00:14:15.000 Instead, Donald Trump returns to the place that he was supposed to be shot and killed at.

00:14:19.000 That's what tomorrow is. Donald Trump triumphantly returns to the place that was supposed to be the site of his death.

00:14:26.000 And instead, it's gonna be the site of his political life and future.

00:14:31.000 That's what tomorrow is in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:14:34.000 And you might say, Charlie, why is Donald Trump going to Butler, Pennsylvania this early before the election?

00:14:39.000 Because Donald Trump is going all in on early voting.

00:14:42.000 His team is going to use this as a way, because Pennsylvania is voting now, in Allegheny County, mind you, as a way to drive people to the polls in an early fashion, in a historic way.

00:14:52.000 Blake? It's great.

00:14:54.000 You have to...

00:14:56.000 Really drive home that once your ballot is in, your roll is done.

00:15:01.000 Well, not done. You should still get other people out to vote, too.

00:15:04.000 But once your ballot is in, then our campaign, our apparatus doesn't have to worry about you.

00:15:10.000 That's hugely liberating. It is a huge asset to us when you already have 1 million, 2 million votes

00:15:16.000 just banked away. You can check them off the list. You can put all your focus on the remaining low

00:15:22.000 propensity voters who take more work to get out. It's a huge bother when you have to waste energy

00:15:28.000 on your high propensity voters, the people who probably would vote anyway, but you can't be sure.

00:15:32.000 so you have to spend all this energy on it.

00:15:35.000 Get those ballots in.

00:15:36.000 Make us stop worrying about them.

00:15:37.000 Chris Kofanifis, a Democrat strategist, says the campaign is taking a chance that they can run out the clock and Trump's weaknesses will be enough to win.

00:15:46.000 But the danger is that if you don't define your own candidacy well enough, people will start defining it themselves.

00:15:51.000 I'm telling you, everybody. This is a perfect environment for us.

00:15:55.000 They're terrified and afraid and they are holding their candidate.

00:15:58.000 Our candidate is going back to a place where he was shot and nearly killed.

00:16:03.000 Which one are the American people going to respect and we're going to win those late breakers?

00:16:08.000 Drive turnout. The Democrats are terrified of their candidate.

00:16:12.000 Can't put her in public.

00:16:14.000 Can't do interviews. This is a perfect opportunity for us to seize it, for momentum.

00:16:20.000 Get your friends out to vote early.

00:16:22.000 Vote early yourself. Chase ballots.

00:16:24.000 Register voters. Become a non-stop walking advertisement for Donald Trump.

00:16:29.000 In every conversation, Uber drivers, with your...

00:17:39.000 Eric Hovde is with us.

00:17:40.000 Eric, welcome to the program.

00:17:41.000 Eric, how are things going in the great state of Wisconsin?

00:17:43.000 It seems that you have Chuck Schumer very nervous.

00:17:45.000 Yes, we do have Chuck Schumer very nervous.

00:17:49.000 Good afternoon, everyone.

00:17:51.000 I hope you're all off to a great date.

00:17:53.000 Yeah, look, Wisconsin's a key battleground state, as we know.

00:17:57.000 Kamala Harris has been in our state more than any other state.

00:18:01.000 President Trump is coming back into the state on Sunday.

00:18:06.000 He was just here on Monday and a couple times the week before.

00:18:12.000 Look, I loved what you were just saying, Charlie.

00:18:16.000 We're fighting for the soul of our country.

00:18:18.000 I think everybody who's aware knows that.

00:18:21.000 What the economic damage that the left has done has been enormous.

00:18:24.000 Real wages have declined over the last three and a half years under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

00:18:30.000 And under President Trump, they rose by 7.7%.

00:18:33.000 I loved your comments about the border.

00:18:35.000 It's just fact.

00:18:37.000 As a business guy, results matter.

00:18:39.000 And the results are very clear.

00:18:42.000 President Trump had the border secure.

00:18:44.000 Kamala Harris opened up the border, and we have, I don't know, 15, 20-plus million illegal immigrants and all the problems that go with that.

00:18:54.000 And I'm running against probably one of the most extreme liberals in Senator Baldwin.

00:18:59.000 She votes for all of this stuff.

00:19:00.000 We have a big issue going on right now in our state, and I think it's happening in every state where the Department of Education and the Agricultural Department are withholding funds on school districts if they don't allow boys to play in girls' sports or guys to go into girls' locker rooms and bathrooms.

00:19:17.000 Think of how sick that is.

00:19:19.000 So these are the issues that I'm talking about, and I feel really good where the race stands right now.

00:19:25.000 Eric, you've been running such a great race, and credit to you is that you just keep on being disciplined regardless of the attacks against you.

00:19:33.000 Talk about your opponent, Senator Baldwin, who is a rubber stamp for this agenda.

00:19:40.000 Look, Senator Baldwin has been in politics literally for 40 years.

00:19:44.000 County government, state government, and then in Washington, D.C. for 26 years.

00:19:50.000 She has consistently voted one of the three most liberal senators.

00:19:55.000 She voted for every one of the crazy spending packages.

00:19:59.000 She voted to open the border.

00:20:02.000 She actually said, we're spending too much on trying to secure the southern border.

00:20:07.000 To give you her perspective on the social issues, because she's as far out there as anybody, she gave our taxpayer money through an earmark to a transgender clinic here in Madison that doesn't even notify parents.

00:20:23.000 Think how sick that is.

00:20:24.000 So she's just radical left. 0.99

00:20:27.000 She's a rubber stamp, votes with Joe Biden 95.5% of the time.

00:20:32.000 She never accomplishes anything other than stamping what the progressive left is.

00:20:37.000 And here's the biggest joke about her. 1.00

00:20:39.000 She's the ultimate hypocrite. 1.00

00:20:41.000 She says she's fighting against Wall Street, talks about income inequality and the wealthy have to pay their fair share, and yet she lives basically with a Wall Street executive in New York, Maria Brisbane. 0.99

00:20:58.000 Who designs tax strategies for the uber wealthy and invest in biotech and pharmaceutical companies that Senator Baldwin's committee oversees and they don't have to report it and disclose those investments because they're not legally married. 0.96

00:21:16.000 So she's an utter hypocrite on top of being just a radical leftist. 1.00

00:21:21.000 So talk about the state of Wisconsin. 1.00

00:21:23.000 Wisconsin is historically very hard to pull.

00:21:27.000 It is notoriously a state where Wisconsinites don't like talking outside pollsters about how they're feeling about things and how they view politics.

00:21:37.000 In fact, in 2020, of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, It was the worst polling for Donald Trump of those three, yet the best performance.

00:21:48.000 He overperformed every poll and ended up 20,000 votes, ballots short.

00:21:55.000 And so there's something about Wisconsin where you just got to keep your head down, do the work, and the people of Wisconsin end up making really rational and good decisions.

00:22:05.000 Ron Johnson really shows us that despite what the polling shows, you can be victorious.

00:22:11.000 What are you seeing on the ground?

00:22:14.000 What are you hearing? What's the vibe in Wisconsin?

00:22:17.000 Can Donald Trump win Wisconsin?

00:22:19.000 What are you hearing First of all, let's talk at the presidential level, and then I'll talk about my Senate race and the past Senate races.

00:22:26.000 It's important for everybody to understand Wisconsin's a center-right state.

00:22:30.000 Six of our eight congressional seats are Republican.

00:22:33.000 Our state Senate is a supermajority Republican, and our state assembly is almost a supermajority Republican.

00:22:39.000 Our governor right now is a Democrat.

00:22:41.000 And then we have Ron Johnson, one of the most conservatives, and Tammy Baldwin, one of the most liberals.

00:22:47.000 So you're exactly right, Charlie.

00:22:51.000 Wisconsin underpoles President Trump more than any other state.

00:22:54.000 And I'm going to explain the reason why.

00:22:57.000 And it's called Dane County, where Madison, Wisconsin is.

00:23:00.000 Think of Madison. It's a beautiful city.

00:23:03.000 It's where I live.

00:23:04.000 It's gorgeous. But it's the heart of the progressive beast.

00:23:09.000 It's the state capitol, university capitol, or University of Wisconsin is based here.

00:23:16.000 And so it's very progressive, kind of like Berkeley, California.

00:23:20.000 So if somebody calls you and asks you, are you voting for President Trump, protects you?

00:23:26.000 You're not going to acknowledge that if you're living here in Dane County.

00:23:29.000 So it massively underpoles President Trump.

00:23:33.000 There's another issue that also is happening with polls as the Democrats become more public sector employees and big giant company employees and the Republicans are more private sector employees, particularly small and medium sized business employees.

00:23:52.000 It's harder to get people that are actively busy in the private sector versus government employees.

00:24:00.000 And lastly, farmers are hard to poll because they get up early, they work all day, they come home, they're exhausted, and they're just not the type that are going to sit on the phone for a 40 or 50 question poll.

00:24:13.000 So we always under-poll.

00:24:14.000 I think President Trump is winning the state.

00:24:17.000 Right now, most polls have him, you know, either down one to up one.

00:24:22.000 So it's basically tied.

00:24:24.000 So if you use past precedent where he was supposed to lose by six or seven points in 16 and 20, that tells me, you know, he's probably up three, four points in this state or even possibly more.

00:24:36.000 But a lot will be decided in the next 32 days.

00:24:39.000 Now, Ron Johnson, he always under-polled.

00:24:43.000 Didn't look like he was going to win in 16 and not even in 22 up until the very end.

00:24:50.000 And I'm in a much better position than Ron was in 16 and kind of comparable to where Ron was in 22.

00:24:57.000 So I feel really good.

00:24:59.000 Most of the polls show I'm down one, two percent.

00:25:02.000 You know, there's been seven polls.

00:25:04.000 The Democrats are panicking.

00:25:05.000 They've spent more money attacking me on a per capita basis than any Senate candidate.

00:25:11.000 So they're spending money hand over fist trying to hit me and making up all these crazy stories and lies.

00:25:17.000 So I just keep charging ahead.

00:25:19.000 Look, we got to save this country.

00:25:21.000 It's that simple. We're good to go.

00:25:39.000 You know, send some donations to erichuvde.com, but tell your friends, get out, knock doors.

00:25:46.000 With your help, I can pull this thing off.

00:25:49.000 Yes, you can. It's erichuvde.com.

00:25:51.000 And Eric, in Dane County, we were just there doing a big event at UW-Madison.

00:25:56.000 We registered over 120 voters.

00:25:58.000 For Donald Trump and for you right there on campus, try to lose by less in Dane County.

00:26:04.000 We have a big army in Wisconsin, as you well know, ballot chasing, doing the work county by county.

00:26:10.000 That is what it's going to take.

00:26:12.000 Final point here, Eric.

00:26:14.000 What is the call to action for the folks at Wisconsin of what it's going to take to volunteer, get you and Donald Trump across the finish line?

00:26:22.000 Absolutely. I've said it from the get-go.

00:26:25.000 They've got the media on their side.

00:26:27.000 They've got their infrastructure.

00:26:29.000 The Democratic Party is a machine.

00:26:32.000 But we've got the people.

00:26:33.000 And I believe people have woken up and realized...

00:26:37.000 You know, this is such a consequential election.

00:26:40.000 If they get another four years, we won't recognize our country.

00:26:44.000 So everybody has to get out there, talk to their friends, talk to their neighbors, talk to their business colleagues.

00:26:52.000 Ask them questions.

00:26:53.000 Are you happy with our open border?

00:26:55.000 Are you happy with fentanyl flooding into our streets?

00:26:58.000 Are you happy with the inflation?

00:27:00.000 Are you happy that FEMA's run out of money to help those victims of the hurricane because they used it on illegal immigrants and flying them into our country? 1.00

00:27:14.000 It is so fundamentally wrong.

00:27:16.000 So everybody has to go do their part, go talk to everybody they can, put my yard sign and Donald Trump's yard sign in your yard.

00:27:24.000 But just, you know, you are a person of influence.

00:27:28.000 So go use that and bring them over to our side and let's win in November.

00:27:34.000 I love it. Eric Hovde, we are behind you 100%.

00:27:37.000 Thank you so much. Thank you, everyone.

00:27:39.000 Have a great day. Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:27:43.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:27:45.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.

00:27:49.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:27:52.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:27:57.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

00:28:01.000 And we're not going to do nothing.

00:28:03.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:28:09.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:28:11.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:28:14.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:28:20.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:28:24.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:28:27.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:28:29.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:28:32.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:28:35.000 Also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:28:37.000 I'm a donor of this organization.

00:28:39.000 They're terrific. Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.

00:28:44.000 I want to remind you guys to get involved to chase ballots and do your part to volunteer for this upcoming election.

00:28:52.000 You could do that at tpaction.com slash 100.

00:28:55.000 That is tpaction.com slash 100 or tpaction.com slash chase.

00:29:01.000 Do your part to chase ballots.

00:29:04.000 Get out into the streets and make a big difference this election cycle.

00:29:08.000 This is the voter registration deadline is coming up.

00:29:11.000 How many people have you registered to vote?

00:29:13.000 I don't know. We can get in the streets.

00:29:40.000 Go door by door. Go to the neighborhoods.

00:29:42.000 Be part of our citizen force to save the country.

00:29:45.000 It is not enough just to watch from the sidelines.

00:29:49.000 Instead, we must get in the neighborhoods and do the work.

00:29:54.000 tpaction.com slash chase.

00:29:56.000 I want to go through some pieces of tape here that apply to the current momentum that we are seeing on the ground.

00:30:06.000 You see, the Democrats, they're not really sure what to do with this.

00:30:08.000 Do you have more Kamala Harris?

00:30:10.000 Do you have less Kamala Harris?

00:30:12.000 Announcement today is that Obama is going to start campaigning on Kamala Harris' behalf.

00:30:16.000 Not a big surprise, Blake. I mean, he'd better.

00:30:19.000 She needs all the help she can get.

00:30:21.000 She could use a real politician. 1.00

00:30:23.000 Yes, and I mean, she has the entire apparatus and regime supporting her. 0.99

00:30:28.000 Let me go to this tape here.

00:30:29.000 This is a Latino voter in Nevada saying that she's voting for Trump.

00:30:34.000 By the way, we're going to be in Nevada on Tuesday.

00:30:36.000 Let's play Cut 29.

00:30:38.000 The four years he was in office, we were doing good, absolutely good.

00:30:42.000 You know, Kamala, she's already in office and ain't s*** done. 1.00

00:30:46.000 And, you know, I mean, there was more work, too.

00:30:52.000 We were able to afford things.

00:30:54.000 Able to afford things.

00:30:56.000 And more and more, Americans are starting to see the past record, such as Kamala Harris calling the border crisis fiction, Play Cut 68.

00:31:06.000 Because we have a president of the United States who has created a fiction about a crisis at the border, and he has held up the United States government and its workers around his vanity project called the wall, and it's a distraction from the real issues.

00:31:23.000 Man, you can see why she wasn't able to win the Democrat.

00:31:26.000 I mean, she had to drop out before Iowa.

00:31:28.000 I'm going to remind you. She was in the lead in July and was so bad, she bombed out before anyone voted. 0.99

00:31:35.000 Here's Kamala Harris saying, we don't need to build a wall.

00:31:37.000 This is a crisis of his own making.

00:31:39.000 It's not an emergency. Playcut69.

00:31:41.000 We don't need to build a wall.

00:31:42.000 This is a crisis of his own making.

00:31:44.000 And by definition, just plain speak, basic English language definition, it is not an emergency.

00:31:52.000 Yeah, millions and millions of people, over 10 million people coming into the country, not an emergency.

00:31:57.000 I think we have Ben Berquam right now.

00:32:00.000 Let's throw to Ben Berquam, who is in East Palestine, Ohio.

00:32:05.000 Do we have Ben? I'm here, Charlie.

00:32:07.000 We're here in East Palestine with a bunch of the residents, some who took part in the class action.

00:32:12.000 Some who did not. But the bottom line is this community has still been abandoned by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as we see North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, South Carolina being abandoned after the hurricane.

00:32:25.000 This continues.

00:32:27.000 So Ben, you're there on the ground.

00:32:28.000 You're going to the Butler rally tomorrow.

00:32:31.000 I believe East Palestine, when Donald Trump visited it about a year and a half ago, was the spark plug that brought his campaign really back to life.

00:32:38.000 Talk more about the forgotten America of what happens in that part of the world and what people are experiencing there in East Palestine.

00:32:45.000 Well, I'll flip the camera and I just want to give everyone here an opportunity and you just tell me when to stop.

00:32:51.000 Guys, I want to come over here.

00:32:54.000 Bob, well, let me start with Bob.

00:32:56.000 I was just talking to Bob. Bob, you're a business owner.

00:32:59.000 You opted out. Tell us again why.

00:33:01.000 Where your business is, where it's in reference to the disaster, and why you decided to opt out.

00:33:06.000 Well, we're right across the street, and we stood and watched the whole show for the past year and nine months, whatever it was.

00:33:13.000 And we were in negotiation with the railroad, and...

00:33:18.000 We just could never get anywhere.

00:33:20.000 We finally got... When they announced...

00:33:23.000 We were in negotiating with the railroad trying to get a settlement.

00:33:26.000 Well, then they announced this class action settlement and the railroad were talking to me.

00:33:33.000 So when we found out what they were offering and the time frame, and it just looked like a sellout to me.

00:33:41.000 And so we just opted out.

00:33:43.000 We had no other choice.

00:33:45.000 Charlie, I want to ask the question that the folks out here, how many of you feel like the federal government has been here and had your back?

00:33:53.000 Raise your hand. How many of you feel like you've been abandoned by the federal government?

00:33:58.000 That's the answer. Lonnie, I know this is really difficult for you.

00:34:02.000 I want to bring you in here again.

00:34:04.000 Tell us your experience.

00:34:06.000 My home was at ground zero.

00:34:08.000 I was roughly 1,200 feet from where they blew uncontrolled burn of all of those chemicals.

00:34:15.000 I could not remain in my home of 30 years with my family because I have a full PTSD diagnosis from living through this.

00:34:24.000 We've been neglected.

00:34:26.000 Our town is so incredibly divided.

00:34:28.000 And if you appeal, if you're taking part of this settlement and you appeal, we're seeing so much backlash.

00:34:35.000 People are terrified to speak out now and terrified to appeal, which they have every legal right to in this country, in this court system, to appeal this class settlement.

00:34:47.000 I just, everything's unbelievable to me when I'm seen, witnessed in the country.

00:34:53.000 That is forgotten America right there.

00:34:55.000 But with Donald Trump, they'll be forgotten no longer.

00:34:57.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:35:01.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
