In this episode, we will discuss gaslighting and how it is used in order to trick victims into believing that they are not capable of remembering what they have been told. Gaslighting can be done in many ways, but one of the most effective means is to manipulate victims into denying their own reality and making them believe a lie they know is not true.

00:01:27.000 We're going to start today discussing a movie from 1944.

00:01:31.000 The movie is called Gaslight.

00:01:36.000 Now Gaslight is a film that is a psychological thriller.

00:01:42.000 It's also a play from 1938.

00:01:43.000 It tells the story of Paula Alquist.

00:01:48.000 A young woman who moves back into her late aunt's London home with her new husband, Gregory Anton.

00:01:54.000 As Gregory manipulates and deceives her, he gradually convinces her that she is losing her sanity.

00:02:02.000 He does this by dimming the gas lights and insisting that the flickering is merely her imagination.

00:02:10.000 All while secretly searching the house for valuable jewels.

00:02:14.000 The film explores themes of manipulation and mental abuse, culminating in Paula's eventual realization of Gregory's true intentions and her struggle to regain her sense of reality.

00:02:29.000 This explains it partially.

00:02:30.000 Let's play Cut 12.

00:02:32.000 Now, there's actually a type of manipulation called gaslighting.

00:02:36.000 And what gaslighting is, it comes from a 1944 film called Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman.

00:02:44.000 And it's about a woman who is manipulated by her husband into believing that she is going crazy.

00:02:49.000 We kind of find out the husband is actually just using the marriage in order to find something valuable that belongs to her.

00:02:58.000 But she believes she's going crazy because he was rifling through the attic at night.

00:03:04.000 And what happened in those days is if you turned on the light in one room, it would dim all the other lights throughout the house because there was only a certain amount of gas that could light the whole house.

00:03:13.000 And so you knew somebody else was in the house in another room turning on the light if you saw the lights flicker.

00:03:18.000 And so she noticed that the lights would flicker every night after her husband had gone away somewhere, supposedly maybe to see friends or whatnot.

00:03:25.000 He was actually going to the attic.

00:03:28.000 But he convinces her that what she's seeing is not true.

00:03:32.000 She's imagining that the gaslight is going down, when in reality she knows.

00:03:38.000 She knows better, but she believes him. 0.84

00:03:40.000 So that's what it means to gaslight somebody, is to convince them to deny their own reality.

00:03:45.000 So gaslighting from an abuser makes a victim doubt their own instincts and sense of reality.

00:03:53.000 Credit to Prism Counseling and Coaching on YouTube for that great summary.

00:03:57.000 So it requires an abuser and a victim.

00:04:00.000 We were gaslit during COVID.

00:04:03.000 During COVID we were told that early interventions will do nothing.

00:04:06.000 We were told that you must wear masks when you shower.

00:04:10.000 When you drive alone in the car, we were told that children must be locked down.

00:04:15.000 We were told to stay inside, to be six feet away.

00:04:19.000 Every time that you invoke the term gaslight, there is an abuser and there is a victim.

00:04:25.000 With COVID, the abuser was the media.

00:04:28.000 It was Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson.

00:04:31.000 And then there is the victim.

00:04:32.000 We, the American people, were the victim.

00:04:35.000 During COVID we learned that 85 to 90 percent of the population can be convinced to believe a lie and is afraid to do something about it.

00:04:45.000 During the lockdowns we saw the horror of the country becoming the most suicidal, alcohol addicted, drug addicted in history and we were told to stay safe because the media Says you must have 15 days to slow the spread six feet apart unless of course you're part of a BLM protest and you're burning down the streets of Atlanta.

00:05:04.000 That is a perfect example of gaslighting.

00:05:06.000 Wait a second, that's not mostly peaceful.

00:05:08.000 They're burning down Minneapolis.

00:05:10.000 No, it's mostly peaceful in the pursuit of racial justice.

00:05:13.000 There's always an abuser and there is a victim.

00:05:17.000 Kamala Harris is the perfect gaslighting candidate.

00:05:22.000 The same playbook that was used during COVID is now being deployed in full, ferocious support of Kamala Harris.

00:05:32.000 People are asking me, Charlie, am I losing my mind?

00:05:35.000 We had an amazing event last evening in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

00:05:38.000 Steve Smotherman and his great church, Legacy Church.

00:05:41.000 We had 2,750 people there, standing room only in Blue, New Mexico.

00:05:47.000 We were meeting some folks there beforehand and they'd come up and said, Charlie, I... One person said, Charlie, I thought that Donald Trump came up with the no tax on tips.

00:05:56.000 But I was watching the news and they said that Kamala Harris is going to say there's no tax on tips. 0.79

00:06:01.000 And they said, am I losing my mind?

00:06:03.000 I said, no.

00:06:05.000 You're being gaslit.

00:06:06.000 You are being abused by the media.

00:06:09.000 You are being tortured.

00:06:11.000 No different in a manipulative relationship.

00:06:15.000 She is the Borders are. 1.00

00:06:17.000 No, she wasn't.

00:06:18.000 She was never the Borders are. 0.97

00:06:19.000 We have tape.

00:06:19.000 No, no, no.

00:06:19.000 You're making that up.

00:06:20.000 It's a figment of your imagination.

00:06:22.000 We're told that Kamala Harris is tough on crime, even though that she donated to a bail fund to allow the worst people in society during Floyd Appaloosa to get out of jail.

00:06:32.000 No tax on tips?

00:06:33.000 We're told that that is her brilliant idea.

00:06:35.000 She is now carbon copying Donald Trump's idea of no tax on tips. 0.98

00:06:40.000 Just look right here.

00:06:41.000 This is cut one.

00:06:42.000 Donald Trump announcing the idea of no tax on tips on June 9th, 2024, and Kamala Harris With zero regard for the truth, plays into the gaslighting strategy, and the applause?

00:06:54.000 Yeah!

00:06:55.000 Kamala! 0.87

00:06:56.000 Yeah, even though she's the sitting vice president, and she could tell the IRS to lay off the service industry, you are seeing the largest psychological manipulation program since COVID.

00:07:08.000 Why?

00:07:09.000 Because they worked out the kinks during COVID. 0.99

00:07:12.000 They saw how easy it is to get the sheep to follow The signal.

00:07:17.000 How easy it is to manipulate.

00:07:21.000 Play cut one.

00:07:22.000 Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips.

00:07:28.000 People making tips.

00:07:33.000 Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.

00:07:39.000 But it's, it's you.

00:07:41.000 You're losing your mind.

00:07:44.000 You're being told that she's the most popular person ever.

00:07:46.000 I remember when we had articles about how her staff was dysfunctional.

00:07:50.000 That she was unable to manage.

00:07:51.000 That she had 92% turnover of people that worked for her.

00:07:55.000 We remember when she was not able to answer Lester Holt.

00:07:57.000 When have you been to the border?

00:07:59.000 Lester Holt said.

00:08:00.000 And she says, I haven't been to Europe!

00:08:03.000 Or she was able to, she was fumbled over the most basic questions and now she is being lifted up by the entire regime propaganda leviathan as the second coming.

00:08:12.000 And people are falling for it.

00:08:15.000 There is a logical fallacy that I keep on running into at the grassroots.

00:08:20.000 And the logical fallacy is, oh people are going to wake up.

00:08:22.000 I said, why do you think people are going to wake up?

00:08:25.000 They said, that's just the way it is.

00:08:27.000 I said, did they wake up during COVID?

00:08:29.000 It took years of grinding and hustle and us persevering through censorship.

00:08:36.000 It took us 18 months to even make a little progress on the vaccine.

00:08:40.000 Just a little bit progress.

00:08:42.000 They need to wake up now.

00:08:44.000 We don't have four years to To unwind the gaslighting.

00:08:47.000 We don't have 18 months to get people to lift the scales from their eyes.

00:08:50.000 We have 84 days.

00:08:52.000 And that's why the media is so bullish.

00:08:54.000 They know that they can lie to you, manipulate you, and gaslight you.

00:08:59.000 And they know they can pull this off.

00:09:01.000 It's just a matter of time.

00:09:03.000 And the only thing that stands between a Kamala Harris presidency is you.

00:09:08.000 that still have a memory and know what the media is doing to us on a minute by minute Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:22.000 Let's just watch a little bit from the film, the 1944 film.

00:10:26.000 You know that the term gaslight had almost no, or being gaslit, no usage until about 2013, 14, 15?

00:10:34.000 It was just brought out from the annals of history, resurrected, and now people have some understanding.

00:10:39.000 And it is, you are constantly being abused by somebody who has a power role above you.

00:10:46.000 Here's a little bit of the taste of the film.

00:10:48.000 Play cut 16.

00:10:48.000 It was written two days before she was murdered.

00:10:53.000 Where did you find that?

00:10:54.000 In this score.

00:10:55.000 She must have left it here.

00:10:56.000 It's written by somebody called Sergius Fowler.

00:10:59.000 Give it to me!

00:11:00.000 Slowly and systematically being driven out of your mind. 1.00

00:11:02.000 I know Kamala Harris is a cackling fool. 1.00

00:11:03.000 I know she's a communist. 1.00

00:11:04.000 Nope, she's not.

00:11:04.000 being driven out of your mind. Why? Why? Slowly and systematically being driven out of your mind.

00:11:10.000 I know Kamala Harris is a cackling fool. I know she's a communist. Nope, she's not. 1.00

00:11:15.000 She's the most likable person ever. She's warm.

00:11:20.000 She's sincere.

00:11:21.000 And it's a drip, drip, drip strategy.

00:11:25.000 I'm watching these advertisements.

00:11:26.000 They're pumping tens of millions of dollars.

00:11:28.000 Kamala Harris is tough on crime.

00:11:31.000 Kamala Harris wasn't the most liberal senator. 1.00

00:11:33.000 Kamala Harris is a moderate, a dealmaker.

00:11:36.000 This is effective.

00:11:38.000 We can laugh at it.

00:11:39.000 We can discount it.

00:11:41.000 We are a very easily manipulated country.

00:11:46.000 We do not think things through in this country.

00:11:50.000 And COVID showed that.

00:11:52.000 It is the same blueprint.

00:11:54.000 It is the same rubric.

00:11:56.000 And it's done in five ways.

00:11:58.000 Number one, through outright lies, otherwise called misinformation or disinformation.

00:12:04.000 The activist media is doing nothing to cover the fact that Kamala Harris is currently the Vice President of the United States. 0.93

00:12:10.000 I have a theory, and Ryan mentioned this last week, and I think it's very smart.

00:12:14.000 We win this election if we can remind people she's actually the current Vice President of the United States. 0.98

00:12:19.000 Not some sort of challenger, not a senator, not a governor.

00:12:23.000 I think we win this election if we can make the point she currently has significant power over the federal government. 0.99

00:12:31.000 She's running these advertisements. 0.88

00:12:33.000 Oh yes, I'm going to make homes affordable.

00:12:35.000 Well, why don't you do it Kamala Harris? 0.97

00:12:37.000 You are Vice President of the United States and the president that you're serving with is not exactly there right now.

00:12:43.000 Why don't you put together a legislative package and get it done right now before the election?

00:12:47.000 Because it's all for votes.

00:12:48.000 It is naked pandering.

00:12:50.000 She's not an outsider.

00:12:51.000 She is the system.

00:12:53.000 She is the reason why you can't afford groceries, that you can't go on vacation. 0.58

00:12:56.000 She's the reason that you can't afford a home. 1.00

00:12:58.000 She's the reason why the border is open, and why Ukraine got invaded by Russia. 0.99

00:13:02.000 She went to the Munich Security Conference, and she was such a fool, Putin was like, forget this, I'm going in. 0.98

00:13:08.000 She is part of the cabal, the Politburo. 0.98

00:13:10.000 But the media makes it seem as if she's this upstart.

00:13:13.000 That she's Barack Obama, who's never served in office before.

00:13:16.000 No track record, no record.

00:13:18.000 Not the fact that she allowed violent criminals to go free, and that she raised money in a bail fund.

00:13:23.000 So the first is misinformation and disinformation.

00:13:26.000 Gaslighting, the population then goes through step two, downplaying serious issues.

00:13:33.000 They sit down with J.D.

00:13:33.000 Vance, by the way, we're gonna go in great detail with J.D.

00:13:35.000 Vance, because J.D.

00:13:36.000 Vance was the All-Star this weekend, and for someone who pushed J.D.

00:13:39.000 Vance significantly, both privately and publicly with President Trump, felt good, because I think he put the entire campaign on his back yesterday, and did an amazing job.

00:13:49.000 Downplaying serious issues.

00:13:50.000 They sit down with J.D.

00:13:52.000 Vance, CNN, they ask three questions about childless cat ladies. 1.00

00:13:56.000 And not a single question about looming nuclear war, Iran retaliatory strikes over Israel, the fact that Kamala Harris is the Vice President, not a serious question about the invasion, child sex trafficking, 88,000 missing kids, that homes are no longer affordable, that it requires $50,000 a year more to be able to own a home in this country.

00:14:12.000 Not a single question about that.

00:14:13.000 But instead, JD Vance, you said some very offensive things about childless cat ladies three years ago. 1.00

00:14:17.000 Can you please apologize, get on your knees, grovel, and then kiss my toes and buy me a cat?

00:14:24.000 And he's like, this is the third question on this.

00:14:28.000 And you're not even talking to Kamala Harris.

00:14:30.000 Number three.

00:14:31.000 Contradictory reporting.

00:14:32.000 When you gaslight the population, you frequently change narratives, or providing conflicting reports on the same issue, which can confuse the audience.

00:14:40.000 Making them uncertain about what is true.

00:14:41.000 I have all the networks up on screen here.

00:14:43.000 NBC, ABC.

00:14:44.000 Literally ABC just popped up here.

00:14:46.000 You know what the chyron was?

00:14:47.000 Kamala Harris pledges no tax on tips.

00:14:50.000 Right there.

00:14:51.000 On ABC.

00:14:52.000 She's the current vice president.

00:14:54.000 She could do something about it.

00:14:55.000 She could tell the IRS right now, lay off all service workers.

00:14:58.000 But she doesn't actually mean it.

00:15:00.000 Whatever it takes to get political power, whatever it takes, that is the modus operandi, the prime directive of Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:15:11.000 Number four, creating false equivalencies.

00:15:13.000 Presenting two sides of an issue as equally valid when one side is based on falsehoods or misinformation.

00:15:19.000 Best example is the border.

00:15:21.000 Kamala Harris is running ads right now in Arizona saying that she believes that we must secure the southern border.

00:15:27.000 You're being gaslit.

00:15:28.000 They're turning down the light.

00:15:30.000 You say, isn't it getting dark in here?

00:15:32.000 I can't see.

00:15:33.000 You're the one losing your mind.

00:15:33.000 No, no, no.

00:15:35.000 Plebeian.

00:15:36.000 You surf. 0.99

00:15:37.000 Vote for us or I'm gonna raid your home. 1.00

00:15:41.000 Let's read Donald Trump's latest tweet, then I want to finish on the gaslighting, then we get to J.D.

00:15:45.000 Let's go to this.

00:15:45.000 This is Donald Trump's tweet.

00:15:46.000 He is now tweeting about time.

00:15:50.000 He says, quote, are you better off than you were when I was president?

00:15:53.000 Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We're a nation in decline.

00:15:57.000 Make the American dream affordable again. Make America safe again. Make America great again.

00:16:03.000 It seems this is all harmonized with the upcoming Donald Trump, Elon Musk interview tonight.

00:16:09.000 Elon Musk is all in for Donald Trump.

00:16:10.000 He's donating to Donald Trump.

00:16:12.000 He is opening up his platform.

00:16:13.000 And here is a serious question.

00:16:15.000 Can Kamala Harris do an interview with Elon Musk?

00:16:18.000 She wouldn't want to.

00:16:20.000 Would Kamala Harris be able to do a sit-down Twitter X space with Elon Musk?

00:16:25.000 Of course not.

00:16:26.000 The final part of gaslighting is selective amplification.

00:16:31.000 Focusing heavily on sensational stories while downplaying or ignoring important ones, but less dramatic news can skew public perception and distract from critical issues.

00:16:43.000 These practices can erode trust in reliable sources and make it difficult for people to discern truth, leading them to question their own perceptions and beliefs.

00:16:52.000 Perfect example is, J.D.

00:16:55.000 Vance said something sarcastic three years ago.

00:16:58.000 Meanwhile, we have critical issues that are impacting the body politic of this nation, the people who own this country, the citizens, and they refuse to talk about.

00:17:09.000 So the media gaslights in five ways to recap.

00:17:11.000 Misinformation, disinformation, and lies.

00:17:13.000 Number two, downplaying serious issues.

00:17:16.000 Three, contradictory reporting.

00:17:18.000 Four, creating false equivalencies.

00:17:21.000 Five, selective amplification.

00:17:24.000 And here is the mission.

00:17:25.000 And JD Vance, he moved the ball forward this weekend.

00:17:28.000 It's a perfect segue.

00:17:30.000 We have to do what took us three years in 84 days.

00:17:35.000 Actually, less than that.

00:17:36.000 Because early voting is starting right around the corner.

00:17:39.000 Wisconsin votes in 43 days.

00:17:42.000 Arizona votes in 56 days.

00:17:43.000 Pennsylvania votes in 35 days.

00:17:46.000 North Carolina votes in 25 days.

00:17:49.000 Election Day is the last day of voting.

00:17:52.000 It is the final day of voting, not the first day of voting.

00:17:56.000 So we have 25 days.

00:17:58.000 Until North Carolina starts voting.

00:18:02.000 We have 25 days to reverse the gaslighting that we, and we were in the minority, and many people in the audience, they were sending us the nastiest messages.

00:18:12.000 Charlie, why won't you take the vaccine?

00:18:14.000 Charlie, the vaccine's the best thing ever.

00:18:15.000 Charlie, why won't you wear a mask?

00:18:17.000 And we were so clear on COVID.

00:18:19.000 I don't think we've ever received, not that we need it, but I think it's very important.

00:18:23.000 We were Without a doubt, one of the earliest, one of the most clear, and one of the most correct shows out there when it came to COVID.

00:18:32.000 We were against the bailouts.

00:18:33.000 We were against the deficit spending.

00:18:35.000 We were in favor of early treatments.

00:18:37.000 We were the tip of the spear.

00:18:38.000 We never really got credit for it because there's a lot of COVID revisionism of people that were all about, oh my goodness, this is the worst thing ever.

00:18:43.000 We were early.

00:18:45.000 In fact, we went on Steve Hilton's program a couple weeks after this whole nonsense started, and we said, we cannot allow the cure to be worse than the disease.

00:18:53.000 And we came under smear and slander.

00:18:55.000 The New York Times, can, Andrew, can you pull up that New York Times article four years ago?

00:18:59.000 Charlie Kirk, major, major, uh, disinformation artist.

00:19:03.000 So we now have our mission.

00:19:04.000 What is our mission?

00:19:05.000 All of us together, you and the audience, us, we must now do what it took us 18 months to three years to get people to wake up.

00:19:15.000 Oh, wow.

00:19:16.000 Let me be clear.

00:19:17.000 New York shut down their restaurants.

00:19:19.000 L.A.

00:19:20.000 shut down their restaurants.

00:19:21.000 But you can fly non-stop on United Airlines from Newark, New Jersey to L.A.

00:19:28.000 and you can eat next to people on the plane.

00:19:32.000 Make it make sense.

00:19:33.000 Gavin Newsom goes and eats at a fancy restaurant while they destroy small businesses.

00:19:38.000 The New York Times wrote four years ago, For Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, the virus is a cudgel.

00:19:44.000 Mixing, matching, and twisting facts about the coronavirus online, Mr. Kirk has created a template for a new kind of political agitator.

00:19:51.000 was four years ago being relentlessly attacked and we lost access to our social media and all of that

00:19:58.000 so we must it is mission critical we must go into their spaces we must go on CNN we must go on NBC

00:20:05.000 we must host press conferences I just added more campus stops over the weekend.

00:20:10.000 The team is losing their mind.

00:20:11.000 You hear that shrieking?

00:20:12.000 That's the team.

00:20:13.000 I said, I don't care.

00:20:13.000 We're going to win this thing.

00:20:14.000 We're going for it.

00:20:15.000 We're going to take it by the neck, and we're going to win this thing.

00:20:18.000 We're not going to do it by sitting idly by.

00:20:20.000 You're going to go chase 100 ballots, and if you don't chase 100 ballots, I don't have a good answer for you.

00:20:25.000 Don't complain.

00:20:25.000 Just watch the country burn then.

00:21:36.000 I believe JD Vance picked up the entire movement of the campaign for a short period of time

00:21:44.000 and he put it on his back and he said, let's go.

00:21:47.000 JDV. 0.85

00:21:48.000 Vance went into the nastiest, ugliest, most unfair environments.

00:21:53.000 Three of them.

00:21:54.000 J.D.

00:21:55.000 Vance did three long-form sit-down interviews this weekend.

00:22:00.000 And he put on a masterclass.

00:22:03.000 And I just want to repeat something I said previously.

00:22:05.000 As somebody who was an enthusiastic JD pusher in first the Ohio Senate race, and a lot of people thought we were wacky, and I still have a lot of the emails of many of you in the audience that attacked me for that.

00:22:15.000 Oh, Charlie, he's a rhino.

00:22:16.000 I said, eh, tuned you all out because I knew I was right.

00:22:18.000 And then people said, oh, Charlie, he's going to be a, why is he the VP, blah, blah, blah, he's too young.

00:22:22.000 I said, I tuned it all.

00:22:23.000 I knew I was right.

00:22:24.000 It's a great lesson in that when you know you're right to tune out the haters and you keep pushing and you keep pushing and you keep pushing.

00:22:29.000 Again, I'm not taking credit for the fact that J.D.

00:22:31.000 got the VP nomination, but we did everything we could.

00:22:34.000 You know who deserves the credit?

00:22:36.000 President Trump deserves the credit.

00:22:37.000 He's the one that deserves the credit for making the choice, and he was the one that tuned out all the other noise from the donor class, the billionaire oligarchs, and he chose J.D.

00:22:45.000 Vance.

00:22:46.000 So J.D.

00:22:47.000 Vance sat down with CNN, he sat down with ABC, and he sat down with CBS.

00:22:53.000 Kamala Harris has yet to do any of this, and she's the nominee, let alone the VP nominee.

00:22:58.000 He sat down for three, count it, one, two, three, and he just played them like a fiddle.

00:23:07.000 They didn't know what to do.

00:23:08.000 This was a triple header.

00:23:10.000 Let's play Cut 5.

00:23:11.000 J.D.

00:23:12.000 Vance sits down with CNN.

00:23:13.000 Again, this is the gaslighting program.

00:23:15.000 We have a wide open border.

00:23:17.000 We have war looming in every hemisphere.

00:23:19.000 People cannot afford homes.

00:23:20.000 They can't afford groceries.

00:23:22.000 And what does CNN do?

00:23:23.000 They ask J.D.

00:23:24.000 Vance, do you think Kamala Harris is black? 0.83

00:23:27.000 This is textbook, blueprint gaslighting.

00:23:31.000 How do you fight back against gaslighting?

00:23:35.000 Enter, stage right, J.D.

00:23:37.000 Vance.

00:23:38.000 Play Cut 5.

00:23:39.000 I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is.

00:23:43.000 But I believe, importantly, that President Trump is right, that she's a chameleon.

00:23:47.000 She pretends to be one thing in front of one audience. 1.00

00:23:49.000 She pretends to be something different in front of another audience.

00:23:52.000 Look, Dana, she's not running a political campaign. 1.00

00:23:55.000 She's running a movie.

00:23:57.000 She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter.

00:24:00.000 Everything is scripted.

00:24:00.000 She doesn't have her policy positions out there.

00:24:03.000 She hasn't answered why she wanted to ban fracking, but now she doesn't.

00:24:06.000 She wanted to fund police, but now she doesn't. 0.93

00:24:08.000 She wanted to open the border but now she doesn't.

00:24:10.000 She should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience and I think that's what President Trump is getting at.

00:24:19.000 This is a fundamentally fake person.

00:24:21.000 She's different depending on who she's in front of. 0.96

00:24:24.000 The media used to say that when she wasn't the second coming of Barack Obama. 1.00

00:24:31.000 The media used to say, you know that she has a really bad reputation with her staff, and she's unlikable, and she cackles, and she's kind of fake. 1.00

00:24:38.000 And JD Vance goes right into it.

00:24:41.000 How do you defeat the gaslighting operation?

00:24:44.000 Like that.

00:24:45.000 You look at them in the eyes.

00:24:46.000 You go on their turf.

00:24:48.000 You go on their networks.

00:24:50.000 We only started to win on COVID when they even started to platform us.

00:24:55.000 The good news is at least they'll platform us right now.

00:24:58.000 And yes, you might have to sit down with Jonathan Karl and Dana Bash. 0.64

00:25:01.000 You might have to hear some of their nonsense. 0.86

00:25:04.000 Two months ago, two months ago, the arguments for keeping Biden was, well, we'd have to use Kamala and she's awful. 1.00

00:25:11.000 And the Hollywood crowd, and that's what I love why JD said she's a movie. 0.99

00:25:15.000 This is a Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg special.

00:25:21.000 They memory hold all the past, and they created this new mirage, and that's what she is.

00:25:26.000 She is a mirage.

00:25:27.000 She's fake, artificial, and she's synthetic. 0.78

00:25:29.000 She is scripted.

00:25:31.000 We have the truth on our side.

00:25:32.000 She's a deeply unlikable, not wise person.

00:25:35.000 She is a hologram, and we can turn that light off at any minute.

00:25:38.000 But it's going to first require a massive undoing of this gaslighting project.

00:25:45.000 Remember, she was so hated that she came in dead last in the primary.

00:25:50.000 I have like five very simple, fair questions that I would love some reporter to ask Kamala Harris.

00:25:55.000 Vice President Harris, you're running for the presidency.

00:25:57.000 Thank you.

00:25:58.000 You're currently the Vice President of the United States.

00:26:00.000 Did you ever see any moments when Joe Biden showed a mental decline or a decrease in mental acuity?

00:26:06.000 How would she answer that?

00:26:07.000 And then she'll do some sort of thing. 0.99

00:26:09.000 Okay, but if that's the case, if you've never saw any of it, then you didn't see what the rest of America saw on debate night?

00:26:17.000 There is no good answer to that, by the way.

00:26:19.000 And that regular, normal, everyday people, they keep on bringing up things like, well, didn't she know?

00:26:23.000 Of course she knew.

00:26:24.000 She covered for it.

00:26:26.000 And then she was involved in the coup to remove him.

00:26:31.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:26:33.000 Go to commit100.

00:26:35.000 We are up against a force, the likes of which we thought COVID, we knew COVID was a test run.

00:26:40.000 We knew that it was a dry run, a dress rehearsal.

00:26:43.000 We did not know for what.

00:26:45.000 And now it is clear.

00:26:47.000 They worked out the kinks, they ironed out the edges, and they just dusted off that playbook.

00:26:53.000 They said, ah, we have this unlikable cackling communist, the most liberal U.S.

00:26:58.000 Senator.

00:26:59.000 This election we won or lost based on a ground game.

00:27:03.000 But we talked about that a lot.

00:27:04.000 But more importantly, whether or not that we can thwart this gaslighting operation.

00:27:10.000 JD Vance put on a masterclass.

00:27:11.000 Let's play Cut 2.

00:27:12.000 He's sitting down with Dana Bash.

00:27:14.000 This is just the CNN.

00:27:15.000 We gotta get to the ABC and the CBS.

00:27:16.000 This is a triple header.

00:27:17.000 And he went three for three.

00:27:19.000 Kamala Harris never could.

00:27:20.000 You think Kamala Harris would sit down with three reporters? 1.00

00:27:23.000 By the way, these are friendly people to Kamala Harris.

00:27:26.000 Deep down, they're all voting for Kamala Harris.

00:27:27.000 Deep down, they're contributing to Kamala Harris.

00:27:29.000 Deep down, their husbands and their wives are all sitting on boards for Kamala Harris.

00:27:32.000 They're going to cocktail parties and soirees.

00:27:34.000 It would be like, hey, JD Vance, can you go sit down with an interview with Charlie Kirk, Breitbart, and if we really throw you a curveball, can you sit down with an interview with The Federalist?

00:27:45.000 These are all friends.

00:27:47.000 This is regime media and she won't even sit down with them. 1.00

00:27:50.000 She won't sit down with Dana Bash? 0.97

00:27:53.000 This is Cut 2.

00:27:54.000 This is how you break the spell of gaslighting.

00:27:58.000 It's a hypnotic type thing.

00:28:00.000 They make you believe that childless cat ladies is bigger than nuclear war, people can't afford homes, civil unrest, crime in the streets. 1.00

00:28:07.000 That's something J.D.

00:28:08.000 Vance said three years ago on a podcast, like that is a civilizational altering issue.

00:28:11.000 You break the spell by leaning in.

00:28:14.000 Play Cut 2.

00:28:15.000 Okay, you've now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago.

00:28:20.000 I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she supported policies that opened the American southern border. 1.00

00:28:25.000 I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she lied to the American people about Joe Biden's mental... 0.53

00:28:31.000 Middle facility for the office.

00:28:33.000 You are interviewing me, Dana, because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview.

00:28:37.000 I appreciate that.

00:28:38.000 Kamala Harris has been the nominee for three weeks.

00:28:40.000 She hasn't sat down for a real interview.

00:28:42.000 Believe me, we are asking.

00:28:43.000 You're not going to get a disagreement there.

00:28:45.000 But the point is, Dana, you've got me for 15 minutes or however long you have me.

00:28:48.000 We should be talking about public policies that matter.

00:28:51.000 How are we going to lower inflation?

00:28:53.000 How are we going to reduce the cost of food and housing? 0.65

00:28:55.000 How are we going to close down that southern border?

00:28:57.000 We've talked so little about that.

00:28:59.000 We've talked a lot more about a sarcastic remark I made three years ago.

00:29:02.000 I think we should talk about the issues that most Americans care about.

00:29:05.000 Boom.

00:29:06.000 Owned.

00:29:06.000 Next one.

00:29:07.000 ABC.

00:29:08.000 JD Vance sits on ABC and goes all in on the child-kidnapping radicalism of the trans-zealotry of Tim Walz. 0.91

00:29:19.000 Play cut four.

00:29:20.000 President Trump said, John, is that Tim Walz has supported taking children from their parents if the parents don't consent to gender reassignment.

00:29:29.000 That is crazy. 0.99

00:29:30.000 And by the way, Tim Walz gets on his high horse about mind your own damn business. 0.99

00:29:33.000 One way of minding your own damn business, John, is to not try to take my children away from me if I have different moral views than you. 0.99

00:29:42.000 It's not happening and it's good that it is! 0.99

00:29:43.000 I just explained to you, I would describe as kidnapping, John.

00:29:46.000 He has absolutely done this stuff.

00:29:47.000 It's not crazy, John.

00:29:48.000 Come on.

00:29:49.000 It's not what he's doing.

00:29:50.000 You should not be able to take people's children away from them.

00:29:53.000 And that's not what he's proposed.

00:29:55.000 If you disagree with decisions about gender reassignment, yes, he has proposed that, John.

00:30:00.000 He absolutely has.

00:30:02.000 It's not happening, and it's good that it is.

00:30:05.000 So which is it, John Curl?

00:30:07.000 They can never be called out to their face.

00:30:09.000 Their automatic thing is, there's no late-term abortions. 1.00

00:30:12.000 That's not happening.

00:30:13.000 And J.D.

00:30:13.000 Vance says, yes, it is, John.

00:30:16.000 And then he triples down.

00:30:17.000 I would call that kidnapping.

00:30:20.000 And that is correct.

00:30:21.000 Tim Walz has supported state-sanctioned trans kidnapping.

00:30:27.000 And finally, after he beat around ABC, he said, eh.

00:30:31.000 Why not one more?

00:30:32.000 CBS, what do you got?

00:30:34.000 I mean, you know the alpha energy?

00:30:37.000 The baller attitude that it takes to go 3-for-3 on Sunday shows?

00:30:42.000 I mean, just most politicians, they prep all week.

00:30:46.000 It's all very scripted and they all leak the questions in advance.

00:30:49.000 JD says, who do you got?

00:30:50.000 Come on in.

00:30:51.000 Who do you got?

00:30:51.000 Come on in.

00:30:52.000 You got Burns?

00:30:52.000 You got Carl?

00:30:53.000 What kind of C-rate person you got at CBS News?

00:30:57.000 Oh, you want to ask me about Xi Jinping?

00:31:00.000 Sure.

00:31:00.000 Play cut 8.

00:31:02.000 President Trump said Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi were lovely individuals when he was speaking in Montana last night.

00:31:08.000 Do you agree with that characterization?

00:31:10.000 I think that President Trump gets along with world leaders and there's nothing wrong with him complimenting them as people if it makes him more effective diplomatically.

00:31:17.000 And there's an irony here.

00:31:18.000 That's different than walking in and laying down the law to shoe-jamping.

00:31:21.000 No, it's not, actually.

00:31:22.000 Because you're better able to lay down the law, like President Trump did, if you actually have a good relationship with people and they trust you to follow your word.

00:31:30.000 We have to remember that Democrats, including Kamala Harris, attacked Donald Trump for having a good relationship with Vladimir Putin.

00:31:37.000 Well, when Donald Trump was president, Vladimir Putin didn't invade another country.

00:31:40.000 When Kamala Harris was vice president, he did.

00:31:42.000 So maybe they should take a lesson from Trump's playbook about diplomatic legitimacy, because I think Donald Trump got a lot done because world leaders respected him.

00:31:51.000 One day we're gonna find out that NBC News was number four and they canceled.

00:31:55.000 So seamless.
