00:01:30.000 The French Connection.

00:01:32.000 You probably heard that there were two big elections in Britain and France this past week.

00:01:36.000 You may also have heard that they didn't go great for conservatives.

00:01:39.000 Now, mind you, this would have been our lead story yesterday.

00:01:42.000 This would have been what we emphasized for an entire hour, an entire day.

00:01:48.000 But the Biden news, understandably, was the lead.

00:01:51.000 We don't know whether or not the current President of the United States is going to remain As either president or the nominee.

00:01:56.000 But what happened in Europe is incredibly profound and important and it is a warning sign as to how they might try and stop Donald Trump.

00:02:08.000 Over the weekend, France held the second round of its early legislative election.

00:02:13.000 Now it's a very goofy system they have in France.

00:02:15.000 They just love... There's a couple things they love in France.

00:02:19.000 They love elections.

00:02:21.000 They love rioting.

00:02:22.000 They love wine.

00:02:24.000 They love cheese.

00:02:25.000 They love other things as well.

00:02:27.000 I'll let you guess what those are.

00:02:29.000 Macron over the weekend.

00:02:31.000 President Macron called the election in a total surprise a month ago.

00:02:35.000 In the first round, Marine Le Pen's National Rally Party came in first and looked poised to become the largest party in the legislature.

00:02:45.000 In response, the French establishment panicked and they pulled out all the stops.

00:02:50.000 So here's what they did.

00:02:51.000 The French centrist party, which is made up of Macron and his goons, uniparty globalists, very pro-war in Ukraine, and most critically, open borders.

00:03:04.000 Ensemble is the name of the party.

00:03:07.000 They made an alliance with the left-wing socialist coalition, the National Popular Front.

00:03:13.000 In seats where Le Pen's party might have won in the second round, the third place candidate would drop out and tell voters to vote for the non-Le Pen option.

00:03:23.000 So in some seats, socialists told people to vote for Ensemble.

00:03:28.000 And in others, Ensemble told people to vote for the communists.

00:03:32.000 This worked.

00:03:33.000 Le Pen's party got the most votes overall, by a wide margin, but only finished third place in seat total.

00:03:41.000 You see, in Britain, on July 4th, ironically, the country held a general election, which the left-wing Labour Party won its biggest landslide ever.

00:03:51.000 Out of 650 seats, Labour won 411 of them.

00:03:56.000 The Conservatives went from 365 seats to just 121.

00:04:01.000 Now let me say, the Conservatives are not conservative at all in Britain.

00:04:04.000 They are pro-trans, pro-pride, pro-grooming, pro-open borders.

00:04:09.000 They are not a conservative party.

00:04:12.000 They are conservative in name only.

00:04:13.000 Sound familiar?

00:04:15.000 It's too bad that they didn't get even lower, to be honest, because they deserve to lose every single one of those seats for how badly they have betrayed their voters over the past decade.

00:04:26.000 Other than Brexit, which party leaders only begrudgingly allowed after a referendum, conservatives did nothing to limit immigration.

00:04:35.000 In fact, they dramatically expanded it.

00:04:39.000 If you visit London, it's become a slum.

00:04:41.000 It is a husk of its former self.

00:04:45.000 British Conservatives did nothing to protect free speech, or to roll back their equivalent of DEI, or to protect British heritage, or anything else.

00:04:55.000 And so they lost, but sadly, Nigel Farage's New Reform Party didn't do well enough yet, yet, to completely displace them.

00:05:05.000 In fact, that is one of the wildest things about the results in Britain.

00:05:09.000 Labor has a supermajority, but only got about 33% of the vote.

00:05:13.000 The Conservatives and Reform combined got over 38%.

00:05:17.000 Because they were almost evenly split, the result is that they got destroyed.

00:05:21.000 Now what are some takeaways from this?

00:05:22.000 Very important and applies directly to our moment here in American politics.

00:05:27.000 Because what happens across the West is a harbinger, is a canary in the coal mine, is a warning

00:05:34.000 sign of what might happen here domestically.

00:05:37.000 First, a big lesson is that European elites would rather ally with literal communists than ever,

00:05:46.000 ever, ever allow immigration to be restricted. The single highest value of modern western elites is

00:05:55.000 thou shall replace thy country's population. I want to just pause on this. Marine Le Pen

00:06:02.000 gets called a far-right figure.

00:06:06.000 Do you know that she is a doctrinaire French liberal on every issue?

00:06:12.000 She's okay with abortion. 0.98

00:06:14.000 She's okay with the gay stuff. 0.89

00:06:16.000 She's okay with high taxes. 0.79

00:06:17.000 She's okay with the French social welfare system, which is overly generous and subsidizes laziness. 1.00

00:06:26.000 She's okay with everything except she wants to restrict the amount of immigration coming into France. 0.98

00:06:34.000 And for that, she is a traitor. 0.99

00:06:37.000 For that, she gets to be called a fascist. 0.99

00:06:41.000 Le Pen believes that French identity, French culture, and the French nation is being displaced and replaced by an Arab-Muslim influx that is destroying what it means to be French. 0.76

00:06:58.000 Her contention is, let's put France first. 1.00

00:07:01.000 Let's put the native Parisians ahead of Syrians. 1.00

00:07:08.000 She wants to protect the fabric of traditional French culture.

00:07:12.000 Let France continue to exist.

00:07:15.000 Now, I don't know everything Marine Le Pen has ever said, or every statement she's ever held, but if you look at her core policy positions, it's very simple.

00:07:23.000 Let's slow down or restrict immigration. 1.00

00:07:26.000 That is such a no-go, to use a German term, that is so verboten, forbidden, that Macron made a deal with the communists.

00:07:38.000 That Macron, a uniparty, globalist, puppet of, puppeteer, master of the universe type, would rather Have the furthest left, most radical fringes.

00:07:56.000 of the French political system.

00:07:59.000 And it said perfectly there in the National Pulse, Macron's deal with the devil, and Le Pen's gains.

00:08:04.000 Now, understand, Le Pen, her victory has just been suspended.

00:08:10.000 This is not sustainable for Macron and his government.

00:08:13.000 This is not sustainable for the French Uniparty.

00:08:17.000 Le Pen got over 40% of the vote.

00:08:20.000 That is extraordinary.

00:08:21.000 Just a couple years ago, she only got 20% of the vote.

00:08:24.000 She has nearly doubled Her coalition in France.

00:08:29.000 And let's just see this.

00:08:31.000 MSNBC and the liberals here in America, they are connecting the dots for us.

00:08:37.000 Let's play cut eight. 0.54

00:08:39.000 It's a it's a it's a big tent party with a whole bunch of people and that's why I use that French example

00:08:43.000 Because in France they saw this right-wing threat and a bunch of people who don't often agree with each other

00:08:49.000 Came together and said that is not acceptable. So we're coming together to sort this out

00:08:54.000 Is that a message that Democrats in America can take? Well, absolutely

00:08:59.000 Here's what I believe.

00:09:01.000 I believe when the president talks about, if he doesn't win, there's going to be violence in the streets.

00:09:07.000 He talks about civil war.

00:09:09.000 He talks about bloodshed.

00:09:10.000 I think it's those kinds of issues that bring people together.

00:09:15.000 Because he's talking about not only undermining our democracy, but he's talking about destroying it.

00:09:23.000 You see, it's the same struggle.

00:09:25.000 How are they going to try to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president?

00:09:28.000 The Uniparty.

00:09:30.000 Who are they willing to do a deal with?

00:09:32.000 Who are they willing to sell out to prevent Donald Trump?

00:09:37.000 Will the RINOs do a deal with RFK?

00:09:40.000 Will the Uniparty do a deal with the Green Party to get them off the ballot and to volunteer to no longer be on the ballot?

00:09:45.000 Will they do a deal with Cornel West?

00:09:48.000 No labels is no longer.

00:09:50.000 These are desperate people and the French connection is clear that they would rather have millions of Middle Easterners coming into France unrestricted. 0.99

00:10:02.000 Thou shall never restrict immigration.

00:10:05.000 And we're willing to combine with literal communists to make sure that immigration remains abundant, unlimited, and without any sort of checks or balances. 0.90

00:10:19.000 America is facing real danger.

00:10:21.000 The kind of danger only real Americans are ready for.

00:10:25.000 What makes a real American a defender of truth?

00:10:28.000 A freedom fighter.

00:10:29.000 Someone who knows what's coming and knows that the government will not help.

00:10:32.000 Real Americans prepare with MyPatriotSupply. 0.71

00:11:18.000 The message that Le Pen had is such a threat.

00:11:21.000 Now, let's just take a step back.

00:11:23.000 Why is that worthy of Macron doing a deal with actual communists?

00:11:29.000 I mean, these are people that would have been Robespierre, French Revolution types.

00:11:36.000 Off with their head, these are guillotine-admiring revolutionaries in the French political system.

00:11:42.000 And until recently, they've been on the fringes.

00:11:45.000 In Europe, they've got a party for everything.

00:11:47.000 They've got a party for socialist communists, they've got a party for nationalists, they've got everything.

00:11:52.000 Macron though, what would motivate him to do such a thing?

00:11:57.000 The Prime Directive.

00:12:00.000 The Central Commandment.

00:12:04.000 For Macron, previously for Merkel, for Joe Biden, for Rishi Sunak, is borders, language, sovereignty, are creations of a world that we want to eliminate.

00:12:21.000 Let me say that again.

00:12:22.000 Borders, language, sovereignty, shared cultural history.

00:12:28.000 They believe those things bring about war.

00:12:32.000 They believe those things.

00:12:34.000 Nationalism is the reason why Europe suffered so much during World War II.

00:12:40.000 They believe that those things are racist.

00:12:43.000 And understand that the core story that is told in Europe and across the West, and this is why NATO matters so much to them, because NATO is the library of this mythology.

00:12:55.000 And by mythology, I don't see that it's not even not true.

00:12:57.000 Some mythologies can be true.

00:12:58.000 But it is the library of where this is held.

00:13:00.000 NATO is the creation where this all takes place. 0.69

00:13:03.000 And by the way, they're meeting this week in D.C.

00:13:07.000 Joe Biden is hosting some NATO meeting.

00:13:10.000 This is the story they tell. 0.99

00:13:13.000 Hitler is the worst person ever. 0.99

00:13:16.000 Totally true. 1.00

00:13:16.000 Evil maniac. 1.00

00:13:17.000 That part's true. 0.80

00:13:18.000 Killed millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people.

00:13:23.000 And he did that because he was a nationalist.

00:13:29.000 And all the suffering that happened because of Hitler's blitzkrieg and his hyper-aggression is because of nationalist tendencies. 0.66

00:13:42.000 And nationalism gets you a lust for power and territory.

00:13:46.000 Therefore, this is the story they tell, we must create a Europe that is the opposite of nationalism, borders, territory, language, culture.

00:13:58.000 Now, it doesn't take that deep of a thinker to say, wait, that's a logical fallacy.

00:14:05.000 Hitler also had a dog. 1.00

00:14:06.000 Should we kill all the dogs, too, in France? 1.00

00:14:09.000 Hitler had a girlfriend, Eva Braun. 1.00

00:14:11.000 Should we not?

00:14:12.000 Do girlfriends make you want to take over all of Europe? 1.00

00:14:16.000 This is lazy and stupid logic. 1.00

00:14:19.000 Maybe it's because he was a genocidal madman and one of the most evil people ever to exist in the history of the world, and it wasn't because of quote-unquote nationalistic tendencies. 1.00

00:14:30.000 In fact, if you are actually nationalistic, you want to protect your own borders and your own sovereignty. 0.54

00:14:38.000 Understand, other nation-states ended up defeating Adolf Hitler.

00:14:43.000 So, Europe suffered greatly during World War II.

00:14:49.000 It obliterated tens of millions of people's lives.

00:14:52.000 From poverty to murder to sickness to disease.

00:14:57.000 And that is a memory that still exists, understandably.

00:15:02.000 And they see Le Pen and they've been trained by the intelligentsia around Europe.

00:15:07.000 That is Hitler 2.0. 0.96

00:15:09.000 Wait a second.

00:15:10.000 She's liberal on abortion.

00:15:11.000 She's liberal on social welfare.

00:15:13.000 All she's saying is that we should slow down and have caution when it comes to mass migration.

00:15:19.000 Doesn't matter.

00:15:20.000 That's how we get Hitler. 0.98

00:15:21.000 Sound familiar, doesn't it?

00:15:22.000 That's exactly how our political system is currently configured. 1.00

00:15:26.000 This is lazy and stupid logic, and it is keeping us held hostage by really, really bad people. 0.99

00:15:33.000 And understand that the current World Economic Forum globalist impulse is also very evil. 1.00

00:15:42.000 You can have multiple flavors of evil that just because you think you are opposing The new Hitler? 0.92

00:15:52.000 Does that make you good?

00:15:54.000 In some ways, we've been forced to lose our traditions and customs and cultures because of the horrific sins committed 80 years ago.

00:16:04.000 Tom Holland wrote a book, it's very powerful, called Dominion, and he argues in that book That World War II is the crucifixion and resurrection of the modern era.

00:16:18.000 It changed everything.

00:16:19.000 It was B.C.

00:16:20.000 and A.D.

00:16:21.000 And it's so on display here in the French elections, in the British elections, and in NATO.

00:16:28.000 They are willing to destroy all of Europe with foreigners and mass migration as long as You don't get accused of being called, of being nice to somebody who very well might sound like something 80 years ago. 1.00

00:16:43.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:16:44.000 It's suicidal. 1.00

00:16:47.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:48.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:16:51.000 We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.

00:16:55.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:16:57.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:17:02.000 As 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.

00:17:08.000 Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:17:15.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:17:17.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:17:20.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:17:26.000 And we'll also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:17:29.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:17:30.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:17:34.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:17:38.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:17:40.000 Also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:17:43.000 I'm a donor to this organization.

00:17:44.000 They're terrific.

00:17:45.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.

00:17:49.000 Boy, there is so much to cover here, but I want to just close out the European news very quickly.

00:17:55.000 Which is, the lesson is that the Uniparty, the Adam Kinzinger types, what are they willing to do to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president?

00:18:05.000 And I'm talking about things that are far more dramatic.

00:18:08.000 And I just, someone comes to mind.

00:18:11.000 What is someone like Brian Kemp willing to do to prevent Donald Trump from winning Georgia?

00:18:15.000 We need Georgia.

00:18:16.000 He's the current governor.

00:18:18.000 It's won by a lot.

00:18:19.000 What would he be willing to do?

00:18:20.000 What would that whole kind of wing of the Republican Party?

00:18:24.000 I hope it doesn't come to that.

00:18:25.000 I hope they all coalesce behind Donald Trump.

00:18:27.000 But the European election and the French connection shows that they might be willing to go to dramatic means.

00:18:34.000 Okay, I want to cover Nebraska now, and then we're also going to cover Trump's VP pick, and also the latest with Biden.

00:18:40.000 What a breaking news day.

00:18:41.000 You see my hat here?

00:18:43.000 Breaking news out of the Associated Press this morning.

00:18:46.000 Republican governor pushes to make Nebraska winner-take-all in Electoral College.

00:18:51.000 Now, I've been getting Nebraska emails from you guys, Nebraska emails, and I've just, we've been working on this behind the scenes.

00:18:58.000 We've been laying low, and there's some breaking news now out of Nebraska.

00:19:04.000 Nebraska lawmakers were called back into the state capitol to address property tax relief this month in a special session sought by Governor Pillen.

00:19:11.000 But the Republican also had signaled his hope that the session could be used to shift Nebraska to a winner-take-all system of awarding electoral votes ahead of this year's presidential election.

00:19:23.000 I'll get to that in a second.

00:19:27.000 This is breaking news out of the Associated Press.

00:19:29.000 Pillan's letter to the legislative speaker, Senator John Arch,

00:19:32.000 seeking a special session was sent late last month.

00:19:35.000 It followed a swarm of town hall-style gatherings he'd held around the state while seeking to

00:19:41.000 rally support for a legislative answer to the state's rising property taxes.

00:19:46.000 The Republican governor called the special summertime session to address Nebraska's property tax burden, but also signaled a desire that the allocation of the electoral votes would be addressed ahead of the presidential election in November.

00:19:57.000 Let me say that again.

00:19:58.000 The governor is signaling a desire that the allocation of electoral votes would be addressed ahead of the presidential election in November.

00:20:06.000 So let's go back to square one here and remind you why this matters.

00:20:11.000 If Donald Trump flips Georgia, if Donald Trump flips Arizona, and Donald Trump flips Nevada, But does not win a blue wall state such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin.

00:20:25.000 That would result, and Donald Trump loses CD2 in Nebraska.

00:20:31.000 That would result in a 269, I'm sorry, Joe Biden would win 270 to 268.

00:20:40.000 If, so effectively, let me say that again, if Donald Trump were to flip the Sun Belt, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and lose that single congressional district, remember in Nebraska they do it by congressional districts, and you lose that single congressional district in Nebraska, Joe Biden becomes president.

00:20:56.000 The blue dot.

00:20:57.000 If Nebraska decides to go to win or take all, like every other state except Maine does, like Arizona does, like Texas does, like New York does, Nebraska will go to Trump, and that would result in a 269-269 tie, which would then go to the House of Representatives, and every state would get one vote.

00:21:18.000 And we as Republicans should then win.

00:21:21.000 This is an insurance plan and a tiebreaker plan.

00:21:24.000 We've been on this, as you guys know, for quite some time.

00:21:27.000 We've been laying low, allowing everyone to have a summer break, and allowing things to develop.

00:21:32.000 To Governor Pillen's great credit, he is now leading on this in Nebraska, and he's saying all the right things.

00:21:39.000 Pillon said in a letter that he's seeking signal that support exists to take up the issue of changing Nebraska's system of splitting its five electoral votes in presidential elections.

00:21:51.000 His language indicated he lacked the 33 votes needed among Nebraska's unique one-chamber legislature of 49 senators to overcome a sure filibuster on the proposal.

00:22:00.000 Now, let me pause.

00:22:01.000 The filibuster is a fake creation.

00:22:03.000 If we would have followed the filibuster, We would not have Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court, and Donald Trump would not have presidential immunity, and Donald Trump very well not be allowed on the ballot.

00:22:16.000 The fact that Mitch McConnell, to his great credit, I'm not a McConnell fan, to his great credit, got rid of the filibuster is one of the reasons why we got the reversal of Roe vs. Wade.

00:22:25.000 We got the decision, we got an affirmative action.

00:22:28.000 All of the big Supreme Court decisions that we have seen in the recent years is because Senate Republicans got rid of the filibuster.

00:22:36.000 So, you can get rid of the filibuster in Nebraska.

00:22:40.000 The issue comes, as the Associated Press reports, at a critical time for the 2024 presidential contest.

00:22:47.000 Here is a piece of tape of the governor of Nebraska saying that he would call the legislature into a special session for winner-take-all.

00:22:56.000 Play cut 44.

00:22:57.000 I'm 100% focused on property tax.

00:23:01.000 I've said from day one, I'm a winner-take-all guy.

00:23:05.000 That mistake was made 30 years ago.

00:23:07.000 There's been a bunch of governors going through that haven't paid attention to it.

00:23:10.000 We're not going to solve it in 30 days.

00:23:13.000 But obviously, if there's a signal that there's votes from the unicameral, I would call a special session to address that issue later.

00:23:21.000 That is his public support for that.

00:23:23.000 So what is then the state of this?

00:23:25.000 They're saying that they do not have the votes.

00:23:27.000 Well, one part of this article is very interesting.

00:23:30.000 It says this.

00:23:31.000 It says one of the lawmakers said that he did not receive any phone calls about this issue.

00:23:40.000 After there was kind of a call to action here.

00:23:42.000 It's kind of strange.

00:23:44.000 Look, if you live in Nebraska, I'm not going to say we should go full throttle on this yet.

00:23:49.000 I think that we need to kind of allow this to develop and allow this to continue to grow.

00:23:54.000 But this is the Associated Press that wrote this story.

00:23:56.000 By the way, this could determine the entire presidential election.

00:23:58.000 Nebraska could be the key to the entire thing.

00:24:00.000 If you live in Nebraska, I think you should call. 1.00

00:24:03.000 You should call your senator and say, no, we haven't forgotten this, actually.

00:24:07.000 We're very much on this.

00:24:08.000 We see this new AP story.

00:24:10.000 By the way, the governor deserves credit.

00:24:12.000 The governor is doing the right thing here.

00:24:13.000 He is leading here.

00:24:15.000 Senator Ray Aguilar said he got zero phone calls about this.

00:24:21.000 So maybe that's a time to make some phone calls.

00:24:24.000 His number is 402-471-2617.

00:24:27.000 Be super respectful and just say, hey, we haven't forgotten about this yet.

00:24:33.000 Says in the article, Pro-Trump right-wing podcaster.

00:24:37.000 Is that my new title, Blake?

00:24:39.000 I'm a pro-Trump right-wing podcaster and activist.

00:24:43.000 Charlie Kirk first publicly called on Nebraska to back the winner-take-all system.

00:24:47.000 Doing so with just days left in the regular legislative session.

00:24:50.000 Given this year's tight race, Nebraska's system caught the attention of high-profile Trump loyalists, including Charlie Kirk.

00:24:55.000 It was Kirk who publicly called on Pillan to back a winner-take-all system with only days left in the year's legislative session to accomplish it.

00:25:01.000 Within hours of Kirk's social media post, Pillan issued a news release urging lawmakers to make the change.

00:25:07.000 This is so important to do, everybody.

00:25:11.000 And I'll just say this.

00:25:12.000 Make a couple calls if you so choose.

00:25:14.000 I'm not going to do a full call to action yet.

00:25:16.000 We need to let this continue to grow and develop.

00:25:19.000 There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes I can't fill in.

00:25:21.000 This is a live ball, though.

00:25:22.000 This story out of the Associated Press shows that this is alive and well.

00:25:27.000 Democrats thought that this was not going to happen.

00:25:29.000 No way that Pillan is going to do it.

00:25:31.000 Pillan is working it.

00:25:33.000 Republican governor pushes to make Nebraska winner-take-all in the Electoral College.

00:25:38.000 Let me read the final part of this article here, which I think is very important.

00:25:43.000 The sudden emphasis on Nebraska's electoral vote system shows how much sway Trump and his loyalists hold in the Republican Party, said University of Nebraska Lincoln political scientist Ari Cohen.

00:25:54.000 We needed a professor at University of Nebraska to tell us how much sway Donald Trump has over the Republican Party?

00:25:54.000 Really?

00:26:00.000 Fascinating.

00:26:01.000 And how effectively they are exerting pressure on fellow Republicans to bolster Trump.

00:26:06.000 Cohen noted that Pilon, who began his term as governor last year, has not campaigned on it, but he has.

00:26:12.000 Now he's putting it on the same level of urgency on a property tax package.

00:26:17.000 This is a great test, and this is exactly what I talk about in my book, Right-Wing Revolution.

00:26:22.000 And Pillon is a hero in this.

00:26:24.000 But if Nebraska Republicans fail to get this done, it is a perfect example of how we are not serious about winning.

00:26:36.000 Do we actually want power?

00:26:38.000 Again, we're not asking Nebraska to do anything goofy.

00:26:41.000 We're asking Nebraska to get into alignment with 48 other states.

00:26:47.000 And the people of Nebraska want this overwhelmingly.

00:26:51.000 When I did that event out in Nebraska.

00:26:53.000 Oh, it was overwhelming support.

00:26:57.000 On the ground.

00:26:58.000 It is a deep red state.

00:27:02.000 Now we don't know yet the timing on the special session.

00:27:05.000 We don't know yet the timing on all this.

00:27:06.000 That's why I'm saying don't light up the phones yet.

00:27:09.000 I think that this is a nice.

00:27:11.000 This is a great signal and a great sign that the governor is right locked on on this.

00:27:16.000 This is a great sign because the governor could have said I'm sorry.

00:27:19.000 We're just not doing this.

00:27:21.000 No, this is very much a live ball.

00:27:25.000 And the people of Nebraska are some of the greatest in the country.

00:27:29.000 They are hard-working, gritty, down-to-earth, phenomenal patriots.

00:27:37.000 And I have faith that when it all comes down to it, Nebraska's going to do the right thing.

00:27:43.000 Think about the billions of dollars and billions of man-hours that will be spent on this election.

00:27:49.000 And they can make us This can make us in a much better position to win just by simply passing a single one page bill in a Republican state will win easily.

00:28:02.000 So we are not keeping our eye off the ball here in Nebraska.

00:28:05.000 There are, I know there are meetings that are ongoing about this.

00:28:09.000 This is something that we just want to play a little role to try to encourage and to push.

00:28:14.000 But the governor, I mean, again, this is really big.

00:28:17.000 This is a big article, and I know some people say, oh, I'm skeptical, don't give them the benefit of the doubt.

00:28:22.000 Let's see how this develops.

00:28:24.000 Let's hold kind of some of our fire here.

00:28:27.000 And as this continues to grow, and we got our eyes on it and our finger on the pulse, we will deploy many of you if and when it is necessary.

00:28:37.000 But right now, this is a great signal that is worrying Democrats across the heartland.

00:28:43.000 Democrats thought that this thing was dead on arrival.

00:28:45.000 No, no, this is very much alive.

00:28:47.000 It is alive because of the great, heroic people in the state of Nebraska are keeping it alive.

00:28:54.000 And the governor is doing the right thing here, and we will let you know how we can help, how you can help, at the right time.

00:29:04.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:05.000 It's happening right before our eyes.

00:29:07.000 America's at the end stages of a Marxist revolution.

00:29:09.000 The new documentary, Beneath Sheep's Clothing, is a stark commentary on the communist infiltration of American culture, pushing a Marxist ideology in our colleges, our churches, and media.

00:29:19.000 Beneath Sheep's Clothing exposes the dark truth about the communist playbook.

00:29:24.000 To overthrow America without firing a shot, we're told we'll be liberated from oppression.

00:29:28.000 But instead, it takes away our freedoms to impoverish us and enslave us.

00:29:33.000 to subvert control of our culture and government until we're just another Soviet communist state. 0.73

00:29:39.000 The next step is a political revolution unless we the people wake up and reclaim our American values and freedoms.

00:29:45.000 Don't miss the shocking documentary Beneath Sheep's Clothing.

00:29:49.000 Get the strategies and solutions to stop this before it's too late.

00:29:53.000 Watch Beneath Sheep's Clothing. 0.90

00:29:56.000 See the trailer now at SalemNow.com.

00:29:59.000 That is SalemNow.com, SalemNow.com.

00:30:05.000 Fixing Nebraska is not just one electoral vote, it's literally like doing two points better in the polls.

00:30:11.000 That's because the gap between the closest blue wall, that is the gap between the closest blue wall and the closest sunbelt state.

00:30:18.000 There's so much more to cover here that we're just going to run out of time, but let me just emphasize this one thing in the minute we have remaining here, is that Joe Biden is within the margin of error in every blue wall state.

00:30:30.000 Joe Biden is consistently outside of the margin of error in Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, with Georgia being a little shakier.

00:30:38.000 Why is that the case?

00:30:40.000 Well, let's look at Arizona.

00:30:41.000 Again, this is the polling.

00:30:42.000 I think Arizona is going to be much tighter than people think.

00:30:45.000 But Arizona has the two I's, inflation and immigration.

00:30:50.000 Michigan has inflation, but it's not as much in your face on the immigration issue.

00:30:56.000 And Nebraska fixes it. 0.98

00:30:57.000 Nebraska makes it all of a sudden where Joe Biden can't just focus and emphasize his campaign on Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.

00:31:07.000 It broadens the map at a time where Joe Biden is his weakest.

00:31:12.000 This would further weaken his campaign.

00:31:15.000 Okay, I want to talk about two things here.

00:31:17.000 First, let's get to this clip here.

00:31:18.000 This tells the story.

00:31:21.000 Again, we're on the Nebraska thing, everybody.

00:31:22.000 I will tell you if and when, which There's a great quote from Gladiator, one of my favorite movies, which is Russell Crowe as Maximus, and he looks to the Roman troops.

00:31:37.000 It's like the first scene.

00:31:38.000 It's amazing.

00:31:38.000 He says, on my signal, unleash hell.

00:31:42.000 So just wait.

00:31:44.000 Of course, very polite.

00:31:46.000 On my signal, be very polite.

00:31:50.000 Alright, I want to get to this J.D.

00:31:52.000 Vance story, but first, this is just too awesome.

00:31:55.000 This is data by data.

00:31:56.000 I was just in Montana, we were helping out Governor Gianforte and doing some stuff in Montana, trying to flip that Senate seat from Democrat tester to Republican sheehy.

00:32:08.000 This is the state of the race. 0.98

00:32:09.000 Joe Biden is now sinking in the polls the entire Democrat ticket.

00:32:14.000 Play cut 55.

00:32:16.000 But the fact of the matter is, you look at the national polling, the generic congressional ballot choice for US South, look at this.

00:32:21.000 CNN poll, plus two Republican.

00:32:23.000 Wall Street Journal poll, plus three Republican.

00:32:25.000 Monmouth University poll, plus three Republican.

00:32:27.000 Yeah, Joe Biden may be in slightly worse shape in these particular polls, but the fact is, when Biden's down four, five, six points in these polls, you can only run so far ahead of Joe Biden at this particular point, at least in the race for the House.

00:32:39.000 It does seem like Republicans are ahead because Donald Trump is so far ahead.

00:32:43.000 What's the Senate landscape?

00:32:44.000 Yeah, what's the Senate landscape?

00:32:46.000 I mean, take a look here.

00:32:47.000 GOP needs just a gain of one for control if Trump wins, and their path is extremely clear because their best chance for a pickup opportunity is in West Virginia.

00:32:56.000 That's a very likely GOP win with Joe Manchin retiring.

00:32:59.000 And the best Dem pickup chance, perhaps to reverse that so the GOP doesn't gain a net gain of at least one, is Texas.

00:33:05.000 But that's still a likely GOP win.

00:33:07.000 So the fact is, if Donald Trump wins this election, the race for the Senate, for all intents and purposes in my mind, is over.

00:33:15.000 Nothing is over, first of all.

00:33:16.000 CNN is, they're ahead of themselves.

00:33:18.000 The only thing that we have to, the thing we have to emphasize is how many voters are we registering, how many ballots are we chasing, and are we able to dominate in voting month.

00:33:30.000 Election Day is the last day of voting.

00:33:34.000 Election Day is the last day of voting.

00:33:37.000 The Democrats have run up the score in 40 days before Election Day.

00:33:41.000 We are going to do our part to try to close that gap.

00:33:44.000 And the candidate that we believe that can be the most helpful, the vice presidential candidate in addition to Trump is of course, J.D.

00:33:52.000 Vance.

00:33:53.000 By the way, the betting markets, let's see where we're at today.

00:33:59.000 I love the betting markets.

00:34:00.000 They tend to be more accurate than polls, actually.

00:34:06.000 Why is that?

00:34:06.000 Because there's actual skin in the game, there's money involved, and a lot of insiders sometimes will place bets there.

00:34:13.000 J.D.

00:34:14.000 Vance is now the frontrunner in the betting markets to become Donald Trump's vice president.

00:34:21.000 J.D.

00:34:22.000 Vance was not the frontrunner the day before yesterday, and all of a sudden he shot up in the betting markets to become Trump's vice president.

00:34:32.000 Maybe someone is placing bets on the predicted markets that know something that we don't know.

00:34:37.000 When I say we don't know, I have no inside information about this.

00:34:40.000 None.

00:34:42.000 I hope it's J.D.

00:34:42.000 Vance.

00:34:43.000 I talked to the president over the weekend encouraging him to choose J.D.

00:34:47.000 Vance.

00:34:48.000 Wall Street Journal.

00:34:49.000 How J.D.

00:34:49.000 Vance rocketed onto Trump's VP shortlist.

00:34:52.000 This is a great article.

00:34:53.000 It's a tragedy that it's behind a paywall. 0.85

00:34:55.000 The work that I had to do to get this thing is just ridiculous.

00:34:58.000 I want to read one of these quotes here that I have.

00:35:01.000 Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA president, said Vance, like Trump, is a traitor to his class, having been welcomed into elite society and then turned his back on it.

00:35:12.000 it. Quote, selecting JD would be a signal to the neocons in DC that the era of

00:35:20.000 endless war is coming to an end, he said. You can't backdoor me through the vice

00:35:25.000 president anymore because he has the same worldview as Trump. Let me emphasize

00:35:31.000 that.

00:35:33.000 If Donald Trump chooses J.D.

00:35:34.000 Vance, unlike Mike Pence, who assembled the entire national security team to try to prevent Donald Trump from ending the Afghan war, true story, Mike Pence, who would always be back-channeling to the intel agencies while Donald Trump was doing his work, J.D.

00:35:49.000 Vance would be a one-two combo.

00:35:52.000 He would be a two-to-the-one.

00:35:54.000 The movement would continue in harmony.

00:35:56.000 He's the only vice president of the finalists who's actually MAGA populist nationalist, not a more corporate chamber of commerce mold.

00:36:04.000 And again, nothing against that.

00:36:06.000 There's a place for that.

00:36:07.000 But J.D.

00:36:07.000 Vance is a MAGA-ite.

00:36:11.000 You can't backdoor me to the vice president anymore because he has the same worldview as Trump.

00:36:15.000 He is the leader in the VP betting markets.

00:36:17.000 Sure hope he ends up being vice president.
