The Charlie Kirk Show - What To Expect From the DNC Day 1: Live in Chicago

Senators Rick Scott, Ron Johnson and Jack Posobiec join me live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to give their thoughts on the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. We discuss why she is a complete socialist and why she should not be the next Democratic candidate for president. We also talk about why we should vote for Donald Trump and why he is the best choice to replace Joe Biden as the next President of the United States and why you should not vote for her as the Democratic Party s candidate for President in 2020. We also discuss why the media should not try to paint her as some sort of new idea that will work and why her ideas are a complete socialism that will destroy your freedom and take away your money. If you don't believe her, then you're in for a long term nightmare. That's what socialism is, and that's what it's going to do to your money and your freedom.

00:01:15.000 ...and great man, who's also in Chicago, but about 10 minutes away.

00:01:18.000 It would take me about four and a half hours to get to him, considering the current configuration.

00:01:22.000 Senator Rick Scott.

00:01:23.000 Senator, welcome to the program.

00:01:25.000 Senator, tell us why you are in Chicago and the need for us to present our agenda versus the Democrat Party.

00:01:32.000 Well, I'm here with Senator Ron Johnson, two business guys, knowing how business works.

00:01:37.000 So we had a businessman in the White House with Donald Trump, and what did we have?

00:01:40.000 We had low inflation, low energy prices, opportunities for everybody.

00:01:45.000 Now we've had Biden and Harris, and what do we have?

00:01:47.000 We have high prices, high energy prices.

00:01:51.000 We've got a stagnant economy.

00:01:52.000 We're losing full-time jobs.

00:01:53.000 We're only adding part-time jobs.

00:01:55.000 So it's a clear choice.

00:01:57.000 We cannot let the media try to portray her as her socialist ideas are sort of some new idea that's going to work.

00:02:04.000 Here's what's going to end up.

00:02:05.000 If we follow her path, prices are going to go up.

00:02:08.000 We're going to have shortages.

00:02:09.000 We're going to have the same socialism that has failed every place around the world.

00:02:13.000 It's real clear.

00:02:14.000 I want a free market, bottoms-up economy.

00:02:17.000 That's what Trump believes in.

00:02:18.000 That's what Ron Johnson and I believe in.

00:02:20.000 I don't believe in the Kamala Harris economy, where they're going to dictate everything to you.

00:02:25.000 Who you can hire, who you can fire, how you can look, what you can buy, whatever the price of everything.

00:02:32.000 It'll be destructive for everybody, especially families like mine.

00:02:35.000 I actually lived in public housing in Illinois growing up as a kid.

00:02:38.000 If my mom was alive today, she would be able to afford the grocery prices, the gas prices, or the rent. 1.00

00:02:45.000 That's exactly right, Senator.

00:02:46.000 And so tonight, Joe Biden will be speaking.

00:02:48.000 It's going to be kind of weird to hear from a current president who speaks on the first night and gets out of Dodge and goes on vacation in Santa Barbara, which is actually what he's doing.

00:02:56.000 He's just speaking, got on Air Force One, going straight to Santa Barbara, and he's out for the entire week.

00:03:01.000 They pulled off a coup.

00:03:02.000 They got rid of Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris.

00:03:05.000 But Senator, I think it's important that we must make the following argument.

00:03:08.000 Number one, Kamala Harris is the current vice president of the United States, and she should not be able to escape Well, first off, she was the tie-breaking vote for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which caused inflation. 0.99

00:03:29.000 She was the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which actually caused more inflation.

00:03:36.000 So she can't walk away and say, oh, I had nothing to do with it.

00:03:39.000 They never listened to me.

00:03:40.000 No, she was the vice president.

00:03:42.000 And if you listen, go back to the 2020 election, what she talked about, you're right.

00:03:46.000 She was, she's worse than Biden. 0.96

00:03:48.000 She's a complete socialist. 0.96

00:03:49.000 And if you don't believe her, believe her vice president.

00:03:52.000 Okay.

00:03:52.000 Look at, look at Walz.

00:03:53.000 I mean, the guy is the complete socialist.

00:03:55.000 He, he talks about being a big government, government liberal.

00:03:58.000 He talks about socialism is just neighborliness.

00:04:01.000 No.

00:04:02.000 If socialism is death and destruction, socialism is your government taking away your rights, your money, your freedom.

00:04:09.000 That's exactly what it is, and that's what Harris and Walsh believe in.

00:04:14.000 No, that's right.

00:04:15.000 And from the record inflation and now, of course, the open border.

00:04:19.000 Senator, it will be interesting to see how, if at all, they address the illegal immigration problem.

00:04:24.000 I was joking around.

00:04:26.000 I'm here on the interior of the Democrat convention.

00:04:29.000 Right here is the United Center.

00:04:30.000 We're just feet away from where the convention is going to be occurring.

00:04:32.000 But in order to get in, Senator, there's massive walls here.

00:04:35.000 Huge walls.

00:04:36.000 I thought walls do not work.

00:04:37.000 Senator, how do we best put on display the failed immigration policies of Kamala Harris?

00:04:43.000 What you do is you talk about how it's impacted families.

00:04:46.000 Talk about somebody that lost their kid to fentanyl.

00:04:49.000 Talk about somebody like Lakin Riley that was raped and murdered. 0.98

00:04:54.000 Talk about, just in Florida, just recently, we had two young women raped in our panhandle by illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:05:02.000 You just tell the stories.

00:05:03.000 Tell the stories of how it's impacted all these families all across the country.

00:05:07.000 I mean, think about it.

00:05:08.000 How many of us don't know of somebody that's died of fentanyl?

00:05:12.000 76,000 people a year.

00:05:15.000 Uh, or is somehow impacted by this crime.

00:05:17.000 All you have to do is tell the stories.

00:05:19.000 What they'll say is, well, it's down from how bad it was.

00:05:22.000 Well, I mean, it hasn't really... The 76,000 fentanyl deaths a year are still growing.

00:05:28.000 The crime is still growing.

00:05:30.000 So, it's not getting better.

00:05:32.000 And Senator, in addition to that, they say that the border crossings are going down, but in reality they're just letting the same amount of people, if not more, through the CBP One app.

00:05:42.000 Right.

00:05:42.000 So it's just different how they're categorizing it.

00:05:45.000 Can you mention that please, Senator?

00:05:46.000 I think that's a very important distinction because I almost guarantee you Kamala Harris is going to go on stage and her proxies, they're going to say border crossings are down, Republicans are lying about the border, but it's a matter of how we are measuring it and reporting it.

00:05:59.000 Talk about the CBP One app, please.

00:06:03.000 Well, first off, don't trust any information that comes out of the Biden administration.

00:06:07.000 I mean, don't trust their employment numbers.

00:06:10.000 They'll act like we're adding jobs.

00:06:12.000 We're not.

00:06:12.000 We're losing full-time jobs.

00:06:14.000 There's nothing that the Biden administration puts out that is factual.

00:06:18.000 But here's what they're doing.

00:06:19.000 They're allowing people to just, in their own country, just apply through an app, and we pay to fly them here, and then we give them benefits.

00:06:26.000 Think about it.

00:06:26.000 We're giving benefits.

00:06:28.000 We're giving benefits to people, money, benefits, health benefits, all sorts of things to people that are bringing illegal drugs into our country.

00:06:35.000 So, no, they've just changed how they do it.

00:06:38.000 I mean, we have millions of people come across the border and they're not vetted.

00:06:42.000 We don't know who these people are.

00:06:43.000 I'm from an immigration state.

00:06:46.000 We love legal immigration, right?

00:06:49.000 I mean, but we don't want illegal immigration. 0.91

00:06:52.000 So you're right.

00:06:52.000 They're just changing how they put the numbers out.

00:06:56.000 But any number they put out is untrustworthy.

00:06:59.000 The border is open.

00:07:00.000 If you want to compliment somebody, you can compliment Greg Abbott.

00:07:03.000 He's trying to do something in Texas to try to get their border secure.

00:07:08.000 But no, the Biden administration, They've intentionally opened the border.

00:07:12.000 They've intentionally allowed fentanyl in.

00:07:13.000 They've intentionally allowed drugs in.

00:07:15.000 They've intentionally had criminals in.

00:07:17.000 They've intentionally released terrorists.

00:07:18.000 They're releasing terrorists in our country!

00:07:20.000 This would never be going—this was not going on when Trump was president.

00:07:24.000 I know—I think, Ron Johnson, you're going to talk to Ron Johnson in a few minutes.

00:07:27.000 He can just talk about the numbers, the unbelievable increase in number.

00:07:32.000 I remember when I first got to the Senate, Ron was running the Homeland Security, and all the Democrats did was scream at Border Patrol for trying to do their job to prevent illegal people from coming into our country.

00:07:44.000 It makes you mad.

00:07:48.000 Senator, that's such an important point.

00:07:49.000 Getting actually into the DNC this morning was a fun challenge, right, Andrew?

00:07:54.000 I can say this with complete certainty.

00:07:56.000 It is easier to walk into America as a terrorist than to walk into the DNC Chicago as a journalist.

00:08:04.000 It is not a joke.

00:08:04.000 I mean, there were five, six layers.

00:08:06.000 Who are you?

00:08:07.000 Where are you from?

00:08:07.000 We've got to scan your badge, check out your background, all this stuff.

00:08:10.000 Yet it is, to walk into the country, there's almost no questions asked.

00:08:14.000 Very quickly, Senator, about a minute remaining in this segment.

00:08:16.000 Can you just isolate some of the Senate races that you are focusing on?

00:08:20.000 A lot of the attention is on the presidency, but we also must win these Senate races.

00:08:25.000 Name the states and the candidates so our audience can be aware, alert, and active on these races.

00:08:31.000 The only two incumbents that have races are Ted Cruz and me, so our two races.

00:08:35.000 And then after that, we, you know, you look at Tim Sheehy in Montana, you look at Bernie Marino in Ohio, you look at Sam Brown in Nevada, you look at Kerry Lakin in Arizona, but then we have others.

00:08:44.000 We have Wisconsin, we have Michigan, we have Pennsylvania.

00:08:48.000 We're going to pick up West Virginia.

00:08:50.000 That'll get us to 50-50.

00:08:51.000 But I think we have a lot of opportunities.

00:08:53.000 The key is going to be we have to get our message out.

00:08:56.000 We have great candidates.

00:08:57.000 We have to raise our money, run good races.

00:08:59.000 I think we'll get, hopefully we'll get way more than the majority.

00:09:02.000 Senator, thank you so much.

00:09:03.000 I believe we have Senator Ron Johnson next.

00:09:05.000 Senator, you are doing hero's work.

00:09:06.000 I'm so glad you're here in Chicago.

00:09:08.000 I didn't know you were a native Illinoisan, but keep on getting the message out here at the DNC.

00:09:12.000 And I'll tell you, this kind of square block, it's probably the safest it's going to be for quite some time.

00:09:17.000 Would you guys agree that it's the safest here?

00:09:19.000 It's not always the safest area here.

00:09:20.000 Here at Bocce's Pizza, right outside of United Center.

00:09:26.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:30.000 The federal ban on price gouging for groceries.

00:10:33.000 You are skeptical of this.

00:10:34.000 Why?

00:10:37.000 Well, first of all, nobody can explain what price gouging means.

00:10:41.000 But it also would be very bad for markets.

00:10:43.000 We've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before.

00:10:48.000 Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, etc.

00:10:51.000 It leads to shortages.

00:10:53.000 It leads to black markets.

00:10:56.000 You know, plenty of uncertainty.

00:10:59.000 And beyond that, the specific way this bill is written might actually increase prices.

00:11:06.000 There you have it right there from CNN that it might actually increase prices.

00:11:10.000 Joining us now is Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.

00:11:14.000 Senator, I know you are doing a counter-programming press conference.

00:11:18.000 Why are you here in Chicago and what is the message to the nation in contrast to the DNC?

00:11:22.000 Well, Charlie, well, the theme from the Trump campaign's viewpoint for today is Make America Wealthy Again.

00:11:28.000 And it's very appropriate because we finally heard some proposals out of Kamala Harris, and they are literally jaw-dropping.

00:11:35.000 I try and remind everybody that Venezuelans voted themselves into poverty. 0.99

00:11:40.000 It didn't take very long, but they voted for Marxist-Socialists.

00:11:44.000 And that's really what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represent here in terms of American politics.

00:11:49.000 It's an in-your-face selection of Tim Walz, but it certainly shows that Kamala Harris is basically embracing— That's right.

00:11:54.000 Let's go into some of those specifics, from price gouging to supporting the Green New Deal.

00:11:58.000 What—yeah, please, continue.

00:12:01.000 Well, so if you take a look at what happened in Venezuela, I was just reading an article how their agricultural sector is basically going to collapse.

00:12:09.000 Farmers have not been able to buy the seed corn they need to plant for the upcoming season.

00:12:14.000 So again, communism, socialism, it leads to destruction.

00:12:18.000 It impoverishes people.

00:12:19.000 About the only equality you get is equal misery.

00:12:22.000 And that's the path that the Biden and Harris administrations put this nation on.

00:12:26.000 And Harris-Walz will just continue that, probably put us on an even steeper path toward that level of destruction.

00:12:34.000 So, Senator, the message that we must continue to talk about in immigration is that Kamala Harris was in charge of the border and she failed when she was in charge of the border. 0.99

00:12:43.000 How specifically should we talk about that?

00:12:45.000 I mentioned this with Senator Rick Scott.

00:12:47.000 The DNC is going to lie about border crossings being down.

00:12:49.000 You cannot trust these numbers.

00:12:51.000 Senator, she is in charge of the border, the greatest humanitarian crisis in American history.

00:12:57.000 Your thoughts, Senator Ron Johnson.

00:12:59.000 Well, I'll challenge you said that they failed.

00:13:01.000 They didn't fail.

00:13:02.000 They succeeded.

00:13:03.000 They got exactly what they wanted in terms of the border.

00:13:06.000 They opened it up.

00:13:08.000 They wanted an open border.

00:13:09.000 They caused this problem and they did it for my standpoint.

00:13:13.000 There's only one reason, one explanation.

00:13:15.000 They wanted to bring a bunch of people in this country illegally. 0.98

00:13:18.000 They would be very grateful to Democrats and they would vote for Democrats if not this election sometime in the future.

00:13:25.000 There can be no other explanation for this clear and present danger That they have made America open to.

00:13:31.000 So she succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

00:13:34.000 I'm not even sure they could believe that they got 6, 7, 8, 9 million people to come to this country.

00:13:39.000 So they succeeded in what they wanted to do, and that's what Americans need to understand.

00:13:44.000 This is the policies they are pursuing.

00:13:46.000 They are destructive.

00:13:47.000 We're going to be living with the negative consequences of their open border policy for years, if not decades to come.

00:13:56.000 The war on fossil fuels, I think it's important that people realize Trump is unveiling his energy policy because as a private sector guy, he understands That energy, power, is required for a successful economy.

00:14:08.000 The more of it, the cheaper it can be, the more successful your economy can be.

00:14:12.000 It impacts the price of every good and service.

00:14:15.000 Energy, and the Democrats' war on fossil fuel, is basically a self-inflicted wound.

00:14:22.000 It's driving up the costs.

00:14:23.000 It's making it more difficult for people to get by, particularly people at the lower end of the income spectrum, which are the exact people they purport to want to represent.

00:14:31.000 They don't.

00:14:31.000 They're doing them great harm.

00:14:33.000 One minute remaining, Senator.

00:14:35.000 As a businessman, can you tell the audience how catastrophic it would be when Kamala Harris says she wants to give $25,000 to first-time homebuyers?

00:14:43.000 What would that actually do to the housing market?

00:14:45.000 It'll drive up the cost of homes. 0.99

00:14:47.000 And again, it's just crazy.

00:14:50.000 Just like, you know, all these student loans is driving up the cost of education, really benefiting nobody other than further mortgaging our children's future.

00:14:58.000 So she'd do this with money we don't have, drive up our debt, drive up interest rates to eventually lead to some kind of debt bomb. 1.00

00:15:05.000 And at the same time, actually drive up housing costs.

00:15:09.000 It's insane.

00:15:09.000 It's a fantasy.

00:15:11.000 But again, the mainstream media won't point that out.

00:15:14.000 Senator, you are fighting for liberty and for America every day in D.C.

00:16:30.000 We have Jack Posobiec with us.

00:16:31.000 Jack, how we doing, man?

00:16:32.000 Charlie, this is an incredible place.

00:16:36.000 We're actually seeing, so you've been here all day.

00:16:39.000 I just got off the plane coming through.

00:16:41.000 When you look at the DNC and the RNC and the differences between the two, you see the reflection of the differences in the character of the two movements putting these here.

00:16:52.000 And so, And I don't know if people can kind of see and you guys can maybe like widen the shot just a little bit.

00:16:57.000 There's nobody on this street behind us here.

00:16:59.000 It's completely empty.

00:17:01.000 There's nobody walking around.

00:17:02.000 There's no one playing games.

00:17:05.000 That's the United Center right there.

00:17:07.000 It feels cold.

00:17:10.000 It is sterile.

00:17:11.000 It is lifeless.

00:17:13.000 It is child-free.

00:17:16.000 There are no signs of life.

00:17:17.000 But if you go inside, you get a cold, scripted, surgical, It's a clinical feel when you're in there, whereas the RNC, I had my kids, like, they were playing cornhole, they were running around, they were eating pizza, they were just messing around, doing stuff, there were rides, they were like, it was like a carnival atmosphere, it was fun.

00:17:36.000 And here, you get the elite, sterilized, controlled, scripted Aaron Sorkin, you know, West Wing style of government.

00:17:46.000 So Aaron Sorkin is the guy who wrote the West Wing.

00:17:49.000 Which is just this liberal fever dream of what they wanted the Clinton administration to be.

00:17:55.000 And he also wrote The Newsroom and a couple other things.

00:17:59.000 And so, this is the truth of what they will give you.

00:18:03.000 The truth is, it is hollow.

00:18:05.000 The truth is, the Democrat Party and their movement represent exactly this.

00:18:11.000 An empty street of nothingness.

00:18:13.000 Because it is all smoke and mirrors that goes on inside like a Hollywood production.

00:18:19.000 And the delegates aren't even here.

00:18:21.000 They're at the McCormick Place like halfway across town.

00:18:23.000 Yeah and the delegates are at a completely separate location.

00:18:28.000 And they come here tonight for the theater show.

00:18:30.000 But in the RNC Milwaukee it was buzzing with people.

00:18:33.000 It was a remarkable energy.

00:18:35.000 It was active.

00:18:36.000 People can go look at the videos.

00:18:38.000 People were walking around eating cheese curds.

00:18:41.000 Like Viva Frye was live streaming just like for hours on end walking up saying, oh there's this this influencer and that influencer and how's it going what

00:18:48.000 are you guys hearing etc etc and everybody was you could rub shoulders

00:18:52.000 with senators and so a delegate or just a media member could rub shoulders with

00:18:57.000 anybody who was there but this it is nothing. Is this typical for a Democrat

00:19:03.000 convention? This is typical? So actually this yes this is exactly so I was at

00:19:06.000 Philadelphia at the 2016 convention and from Philadelphia area already so I kind

00:19:11.000 know the area, but it was the same way.

00:19:14.000 And specifically, what was different was that the protests were all the way outside of the area.

00:19:22.000 No one was allowed in.

00:19:23.000 Delegates were bused in when they were needed, and then bused out when they were no longer needed, just like they'll be here today.

00:19:29.000 And you have, what do you see, Charlie?

00:19:32.000 Walls, fences, police, security.

00:19:35.000 So they know how to provide security, law enforcement, and all of these things when they want them to protect themselves.

00:19:43.000 This is where Barack Obama will be and Hillary and Joe Biden and Jill Biden, Joe Biden and Jill Biden.

00:19:48.000 Who are leaving tonight, by the way, will not be staying for Kamala Harris's nomination on Thursday.

00:19:54.000 Kind of funny how that works.

00:19:56.000 See, the guy who actually won the primary is being kicked out by his own party and is being summarily shipped off to California while his votes and his delegates are being handed to another candidate.

00:20:08.000 But of course, the Clintons will be here as well.

00:20:10.000 So Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, you've got what was that four, you know, three, three former presidents and well, I guess, you know, if you consider Joe Biden a former president.

00:20:20.000 Yeah, so what do you expect from Joe Biden tonight?

00:20:21.000 It's a very bizarre speech and they gave him the first night as a throwaway night.

00:20:25.000 I thought they were going to give him like Wednesday or Thursday with Kamala on stage.

00:20:28.000 No, this makes sense.

00:20:31.000 They want as much distance from him.

00:20:32.000 He's so unpopular.

00:20:34.000 He's so failed.

00:20:35.000 And they want to just act as if it's two different administrations?

00:20:37.000 You know what Politico Playbook said?

00:20:38.000 They called it, so the official title for tonight is, it's very Pelosian.

00:20:43.000 It's for the people.

00:20:46.000 So he's doing this for the people.

00:20:47.000 He's sacrificing his legacy, his career.

00:20:50.000 Yeah, his legacy, his career.

00:20:51.000 Nobody wants to hold a piece of because it's so bad.

00:20:55.000 But what it really is, it's good night and good luck, Joe.

00:20:58.000 You had a great run there, slugger.

00:21:00.000 Head on over to Santa Barbara.

00:21:01.000 Enjoy Santa Barbara.

00:21:03.000 Have a great time.

00:21:04.000 Maybe producer Andrew can show him around a little bit.

00:21:07.000 And no, they want to get rid of him.

00:21:09.000 And think of it, they're going to talk about the accomplishments of his career.

00:21:14.000 So it's probably going to be a pretty short speech then.

00:21:16.000 Yeah, it's just, it's so insulting to him.

00:21:19.000 I'm going to be curious to talk to some of the Democrats here.

00:21:22.000 They seem okay with it though.

00:21:23.000 These are very, these are like inner Politburo Democrats though, the ones here.

00:21:27.000 But you know who's not here, that's the real story.

00:21:29.000 John Fetterman not showing up.

00:21:31.000 Is that right?

00:21:32.000 John Fetterman will not be here.

00:21:34.000 Why won't Fetterman not show up?

00:21:37.000 So Fetterman, if you remember, he was one of the guys that was really out there calling for Biden to stay in.

00:21:43.000 He said we shouldn't change horses in the middle of the stream.

00:21:46.000 You know, the brain dead going with the brain dead.

00:21:48.000 You know, like attracts like.

00:21:50.000 And so he wanted Biden to be there.

00:21:53.000 Biden, obviously, didn't go that way.

00:21:55.000 Fetterman's not showing up.

00:21:57.000 One of the big ones, though, that I'm keeping an eye out for is, of course, Josh Shapiro.

00:22:00.000 I think he'll be here.

00:22:01.000 So, it would make sense for him to be here, but I do note that he was not at this bus tour that was held yesterday in Western Pennsylvania, citing, according to Wei Jiajiang over at CBS, citing scheduling issues.

00:22:16.000 that he wasn't able to arrive and be part of that wonderful sheets experience that Kamala Harris and

00:22:23.000 Tim Walz give us. Now that could have been a legitimate scheduling issue, I don't know,

00:22:26.000 but when it's the Democrats, I never give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm always cynical when it

00:22:32.000 comes to them. So when you look at their movements, when you look at the fact that Joe and Jill will,

00:22:36.000 that means they won't be here, Charlie. They will not be on stage Thursday night when Kamala Harris

00:22:42.000 is nominated. Joe and Jill Biden will, they won't even be in the state. They won't even be in the

00:22:46.000 same time zone. I mean, that is crazy. And I have to imagine that there are people who are outside

00:22:53.000 this false Hollywood bubble.

00:22:55.000 I agree with you, but differently, because it won't be Joe, it'll be Jill.

00:22:57.000 threats little like you got you took me out I mean do you think I mean I would

00:23:01.000 if if you're gonna say yes I think there's I think it's gonna be a very

00:23:05.000 astute so to little it's sleeper side I agree with you but differently because

00:23:10.000 it won't be Joe it'll be Jill whoever she's right no no Jill speaks before him

00:23:15.000 oh that's interesting So Jill speaks before him tonight, so if there are any lines, like those easter eggs, like basically the shade war... Like for example, Jill says, and my husband received 16 million votes in the primary amongst

00:23:31.000 of you and more votes more votes than any other person in history on the nose

00:23:38.000 what else Jill Biden also might say something and we are the party of

00:23:41.000 democracy where the will of the people will always try and always something

00:23:45.000 along those lines where it's very because again think of it the name of

00:23:49.000 today's the you know theme is because Trump had this he was like make America

00:23:54.000 safe again make America rich you did what was it wealthy again was your night

00:23:57.000 with your big Illuminati pyramid and then so today is for the people and I'm

00:24:03.000 sure it you know for the party for the country will be the next ones but for

00:24:07.000 the people what people not the delegates not the voters not the people of the

00:24:12.000 Nobody voted for any of this program that's going through now.

00:24:15.000 And so this is the Democrats.

00:24:17.000 So if Jill were to do that, I imagine she would.

00:24:20.000 And I'm sure if Jill says anything, it'll be about Kamala.

00:24:26.000 Because that was really the two that came head to head all the way.

00:24:31.000 It started day one of the administration, really day one on the campaign trail, and then just grew and grew and grew and grew until Kamala was able to get the Obamas on her side and knife Joe Biden right out of office. 1.00

00:24:45.000 So Joe Biden, now there's a small chance that just Joe Biden goes off and goes crazy.

00:24:49.000 I don't think that's going to happen.

00:24:51.000 Would be amazing.

00:24:52.000 You are stuck with me, people.

00:24:54.000 You gotta listen to me for 40 minutes.

00:24:56.000 But I think that there might be a little bit of a bitter tone tonight.

00:25:02.000 Well, I think, but I think that's sort of built in, right?

00:25:04.000 It's because it's supposed to be the legacy, the legacy of service.

00:25:09.000 52 years, you know, and it's, you know, we can make all the jokes about how he's been there for 52 years and look how things have gone over the course of the last 52 years in this country.

00:25:19.000 But I do wonder, I do wonder if there will be any sense of this camaraderie from Jill to just say, no, that we, you know, we don't want to go for this.

00:25:31.000 Also, Hunter.

00:25:32.000 Will any of the family be here?

00:25:33.000 Hillary's tonight.

00:25:35.000 Who?

00:25:35.000 Hillary.

00:25:36.000 Oh, so they put Hillary and Biden on the same night. 0.99

00:25:41.000 Tonight's loser night. 0.71

00:25:42.000 Is Bill tonight too? 0.96

00:25:44.000 I don't believe Bill is tonight.

00:25:47.000 Bill is Wednesday.

00:25:48.000 Bill's more popular than Hillary.

00:25:49.000 So Bill is Wednesday.

00:25:50.000 Michelle is tomorrow.

00:25:52.000 Is Barack tomorrow or is he Wednesday?

00:25:58.000 They want headliners every night.

00:25:59.000 Right, so we did the same thing, but they're putting their worst, like they have to have these guys in now, and then it'll go forward.

00:26:09.000 But by the way, the real thing that I'm going to be looking for from them is, and I still do think that the last card that they have to play is, will Joe Biden stay as president all the way through the election?

00:26:24.000 I told you, yes.

00:26:26.000 I don't know.

00:26:26.000 I don't know if I agree.

00:26:28.000 They might do the mid-October as ballots are just coming out.

00:26:31.000 But isn't part of the energy, though, that we want her to be the first female president? 0.98

00:26:40.000 Not that once she is, then it kind of deflates it?

00:26:42.000 Well, the issue is that after debates, Because, so, running as an incumbent, you give her the trappings. 0.60

00:26:48.000 She's behind the desk.

00:26:50.000 She's able to give speeches. 0.98

00:26:51.000 She's able to meet with world leaders.

00:26:53.000 And it's one-on-one.

00:26:54.000 And, of course, it would remove Trump's ability to say, if these things are so good, why aren't you doing them now?

00:27:01.000 Why don't you just take office now and do all of this?

00:27:04.000 You're there.

00:27:05.000 Why don't you guys reduce the grocery prices and help out with housing and do all of these things?

00:27:10.000 A YouGov poll came out today.

00:27:11.000 It showed that 40% of Americans say Harris is better equipped than Trump.

00:27:16.000 38% for Trump for lowering housing prices.

00:27:18.000 This is the problem that if we don't play offense on these issues, all summer you and I were saying, why are we not talking about housing?

00:27:24.000 I mentioned housing in my speech many times, right?

00:27:26.000 I lobbied for J.D.

00:27:27.000 Vance to put it in his speech and he did.

00:27:28.000 We did not focus on housing enough and now Kamala's going all in and we are, I don't know if I believe the poll, but we're tied effectively with Kamala Harris on the housing issue, which is, it shouldn't be even close.

00:27:40.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:28:44.000 So Kamala Harris finally took some questions this last weekend. 0.68

00:28:47.000 Didn't make a lot of sense.

00:28:48.000 She was talking about, you have to understand the importance of our democracy.

00:28:52.000 Now, if any of you can understand what she's saying here, please email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:56.000 This is her talking about the duality of democracy.

00:29:01.000 That understanding the importance of this is the beautiful country, the beauty of our country, as the globe of a wonderful democracy.

00:29:09.000 What is she saying here?

00:29:10.000 Play cut six.

00:29:11.000 And that's what our election is about.

00:29:14.000 Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.

00:29:25.000 As a democracy.

00:29:27.000 We know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.

00:29:32.000 On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.

00:29:38.000 What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, their freedom.

00:29:47.000 Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.

00:29:53.000 What was that?

00:29:54.000 Did you understand what she was saying, Andrew?

00:29:58.000 Let me read this quote.

00:29:58.000 quote, our election is understanding the importance of this beautiful country and in our terms what

00:30:02.000 we stand for as a globe as a democracy. As a democracy we know that there's a duality to

00:30:07.000 the nature of democracy on the other hand on the one hand incredible strength when it's intact

00:30:11.000 when it does for its people to protect to defend their rights incredibly strong and incredibly

00:30:16.000 fragile. So Kamala Harris speaking is not exactly her strong suit. She now is making an argument

00:30:24.000 Why are prices too high, Kamala Harris?

00:30:26.000 Who's in charge exactly?

00:30:27.000 You are the sitting Vice President of the United States.

00:30:30.000 Can't you get prices down?

00:30:32.000 Can't you do something about this?

00:30:33.000 She wants Venezuelan and Cuban-style price controls.

00:30:37.000 Play Cut 4.

00:30:39.000 Every day prices are too high.

00:30:41.000 It feels so hard to just be able to get ahead.

00:30:44.000 The bills add up.

00:30:45.000 Food.

00:30:45.000 Rent.

00:30:46.000 Gas.

00:30:47.000 Back to school clothes.

00:30:48.000 Prescription medication.

00:30:50.000 The cost of food.

00:30:51.000 A loaf of bread costs 50% more.

00:30:54.000 Ground beef is up almost 50%.

00:30:57.000 There's a serious housing shortage.

00:30:59.000 The price of housing has gone up.

00:31:00.000 It's too difficult to build and it's driving prices up.

00:31:04.000 It is out of reach.

00:31:06.000 The size of down payments have gone up as well.

00:31:09.000 Costs are still too high.

00:31:10.000 There's not much left at the end of the month and prices are still too high.

00:31:16.000 I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message.

00:31:19.000 Too hard to build houses, too hard to buy groceries, too hard to be able to Make ends meet.

00:31:26.000 You see, the trick that the Kamala Harris campaign is doing of David Plouffe and all of those campaign experts, the trick that they're trying to pull on you is that she is somehow not currently in political power.

00:31:38.000 She is the sitting vice president of the United States.

00:31:42.000 She has power. 0.90

00:31:43.000 She did tie-breaking votes in the U.S.

00:31:45.000 Senate, as Senator Rick Scott and Senator Ron Johnson said.

00:31:47.000 Her own policies have driven high inflation, out-of-control spending, Kamala Harris is to blame for what we are seeing and the suffering that people are experiencing.

00:31:59.000 She takes another question from the press saying it's a mistake to ask the price tag of how much we're paying.

00:32:04.000 Joe Biden has added nearly nine trillion dollars in new debt since he became president.

00:32:09.000 Both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

00:32:11.000 Play cut one.

00:32:13.000 You unveiled your economic policies last week.

00:32:15.000 Can you explain how you're going to pay for those and can you give us a sense of what

00:32:20.000 other policies you want to unveil going forward?

00:32:22.000 Sure, well, I mean you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example,

00:32:27.000 around children and the child tax credit and extending the EITC.

00:32:31.000 That is at $6,000 for the first year of a child's life.

00:32:35.000 The return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous.

00:32:40.000 We've seen it when we did it the first year of our administration.

00:32:44.000 We reduced child poverty by over 50%.

00:32:47.000 So that's a lot of the work.

00:32:48.000 And then what we're doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there's a great return on that investment.

00:32:53.000 When we increase home ownership in America, what that means in terms of increasing the

00:32:57.000 tax base, not to mention property tax base, what that does to fund schools, again return

00:33:02.000 on investment.

00:33:04.000 What she is saying there is it doesn't matter the price tag.

00:33:07.000 What matters is how much power does the government get out of it.

00:33:12.000 Trillions and trillions of dollars of new spending.

00:33:14.000 She would bankrupt this country even further.

00:33:16.000 Hyperinflate us.

00:33:18.000 And remember, the communists must destroy private property, family, and religion.

00:33:23.000 And when the government gets bigger and bigger, why do you need family?

00:33:26.000 Why do you need to go to the church?

00:33:27.000 That is exactly her agenda that we are seeing put forward.

00:33:30.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
