00:00:52.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:13.000And rightfully so, because it's we've got everybody is like astonished still.
00:02:21.000This is like now like we're like four elections deep since the people started paying attention.
00:02:27.000And now they're like astonished at how do we not have this stuff figured out.
00:02:32.000And the RNC, you know, as a member of the RNC that represents the state of Arizona, everybody that listens to the show knows that we've been the most observant and critical of the things that the Republican atmosphere isn't doing the right way.
00:02:57.000Everybody here, the major organizations that are supposed to run the party are the ones that are supposed to make sure that the techniques are in place in order to win.
00:03:05.000And every election that goes by, people are standing by saying, how come the techniques are not ever getting developed?
00:03:13.000And it's like waiting for the sad story of the puppy at the adoption facility who the adopter never comes, and then you end up in the grinder.
00:03:46.000The members of the 168, which are the, there's three members from every state and territory that represent you at the Republican National Committee.
00:03:54.000That's who elects leadership in the RNC.
00:04:36.000You're just the workers that go out and knock doors, that build what we call golden tickets here in Arizona, that tell people who to vote for, that show up, that manage the polls.
00:05:06.000Part of the reason why we're not winning is that you have to have leaders who are like George Washingtonian leaders who are going to be able to ride the white horse, lead you into battle, take the first arrows.
00:05:17.000And nobody views Mitch McConnell that way.
00:05:21.000Nobody viewed Kevin McCarthy that way.
00:05:32.000That's why Trump is winning by 50 points in primary polls.
00:05:36.000And so it's like, how do we get an alpha leader, like we have an alpha leader running for president that everyone supports to run these things?
00:05:45.000Why are we okay with just this subpar leadership?
00:05:51.000And so, but then to add insult to injury, the RNC right now is doing what, Tyler?
00:05:55.000Where is the RNC physically and what are they doing today?
00:05:58.000So the RNC is kind of mad at me because I commented in a couple of different, with a couple of different journalists that called and said, hey, what are your thoughts about these debates going on?
00:06:07.000And I said, well, I think they're kind of pointless if you don't have Donald Trump at them because Donald Trump is winning by 50 points right now.
00:06:14.000So what's the point in still doing them?
00:06:16.000And that's been, they've taken a few polls and you, the public, have said, we don't think that you should do any more debates.
00:06:32.000And it's like, wait, so you're going to let Libs, wait, I thought the whole, I don't know if we have time to rehash this, but the RNC pulled out of the debate committee that was this liberal control C3.
00:06:48.000And so everyone was excited because they were like, oh, cool.
00:06:57.000And so it's like, this is the reason why nobody, why would anyone trust that organization that just basically goes right back to the trough and reintroduces the same bad things that everyone hates?
00:07:10.000And they truly don't care about pushback.
00:07:12.000And so tonight they're hanging out with NBC, you know, cocktail hour, everything hanging out.
00:07:18.000Like this was like another member of the RNC called me that she was astonished.
00:07:23.000She's like, yesterday was election day.
00:07:26.000We're getting our butts handed to us and states that we, by the way, this isn't just Kentucky that you can make the argument that is like, oh, okay, whatever, moderate Democrat being governor in Kentucky, who cares?
00:07:37.000Well, it does matter a lot because Matt Bevan still would be governor had it not been for if the party had its priorities in the right place.
00:07:45.000But aside from that, Pennsylvania yesterday had a Supreme Court race that would determine the future of Pennsylvania for the next decade, 12 years plus.
00:07:55.000And so you're looking at a situation now where it's like we just lost the Supreme Court in Wisconsin because of inactivity.
00:08:44.000But like, this was part of the warning was if you don't, if you, if you kick the small dollar donors to the curb, how are you going to raise money?
00:08:52.000Because look, this is how the Democrats do it.
00:08:54.000The Democrats, you know, effectively raise all of their dollars for their party through small dollar donations.
00:09:01.000This is why they instituted all that, right?
00:09:04.000Our side Institute Win Red, which is a totally different model, for-profit model.
00:09:08.000We can get into all that, but they're raising significantly less dollars to small dollar because of the distrust that exists with this, with the ecosystem right now.
00:11:53.000Tyler, what are we doing at Turning Point Action?
00:11:55.000Let's fill our audience and we've committed to doing something.
00:12:00.000We want to do even more than something.
00:12:02.000Tell our audience right now, we're doing something unprecedented.
00:12:04.000So there is good news from this week, and you don't see this stuff that's happening necessarily, but we've partnered with a number of different organizations that Turning Point Action works with.
00:12:17.000So first off, Turning Point Action is the largest field staff in the conservative.
00:13:09.000Well, and that's what's been the frustrating part: hey, the left has an infrastructure of 100 organizations in most of these key target states that all have three to four full-time employees, a minimum, and then they ratchet it up for ballot chasing.
00:13:26.000We're modeling ourselves after like, it's not, it's like a football team.
00:13:29.000So the best comparison is a sports analogy, which is right now, what the Republican National Committee and what I call the Republican National Apparatus is doing is they're sending a high school team, volunteer high school team, up against an NFL team and expecting to win.
00:13:45.000They have professionals that are sanctioned.
00:13:48.000They're there, being paid really great salaries to be there and be on guard.
00:13:52.000Our team is basically just like, oh, yeah, we'll just throw a team together and hope to win.
00:13:58.000It worked in the mighty ducks, you know, one time, you know, but it's not going to work year in and year out.
00:14:03.000And that's part of the reason why we're losing is we need full-time people.
00:14:06.000So the only way that you can do that is if you've built an actual team on the ground in these states that you need to win.
00:14:12.000So in Arizona and Wisconsin, we've put full-time staff.
00:14:16.000We'll have upwards of 20 full-time staff just helping and assisting and coordinating volunteers.
00:14:22.000And they're going to be aiding us and building our full-time army where we're going to have hundreds of full-time people paid to go chase ballots.
00:14:30.000And that's not just in the last month before elections.
00:14:33.000We're talking like those people are starting now and they're going to be going heavy right around Christmas time and following the new year, building relationships in these key communities with the people who don't typically vote.
00:16:13.000Yeah, this is the corridor that helps flip elections for the entire country.
00:16:18.000And so this is where Republicans have to have this understanding and come in and go, okay, what do we have to do to win these places?
00:16:24.000Well, you have to isolate these key target precincts and you have to talk to not just high-propensity voters, not mid-voters, but you have to talk to people who never vote.
00:16:33.000That's what Democrats are getting out.
00:17:54.000And remember, retirement is about more than just investments.
00:17:57.000The Charlie Kirk endorsement of the PAX Financial Group LLC was given for compensation, which creates an incentive to recommend PAX's advisory services.
00:18:06.000Need to make sure that disclaimer is very clear.
00:18:24.000What was the best piece of news yesterday?
00:18:27.000Well, I mean, Reeves held on in Mississippi, which was that if you were to do that.
00:18:33.000Yeah, no, you know, no, seriously, we have to, I found this out recently that there was a danger apparently within the last two weeks or so that they worried he could fall within runoff territory.
00:18:45.000Look, the good news, honestly, you want the hard truth.
00:18:49.000The good news is that I still see the Trump voters, the Trump strength, because I can see them like a astrophysicist can measure dark matter.
00:18:59.000You measure them by the absence of them not being there, you know, by their lack of presence.
00:19:05.000So when I look ahead to 2024, the good news is when we're polling the presidential race a year from now and then comparing how he is doing to everybody else, everyone else is coming in when the votes come rolling in.
00:19:20.000Everyone else is coming in about where expected, which tells us that his strength on the top of the ticket is real.
00:19:25.000That's honestly, if you're looking for good news and you're a Republican voter, that's it.
00:19:40.000Public opinion isn't the issue with abortion.
00:19:43.000The issue is that Republican voters aren't motivated or voters who agree with Republicans are not motivated at the same rates that Democrats are.
00:19:59.000And even though they're looking at a smaller group of people, they're getting those people out where Republicans just are not.
00:20:07.000And you look at the race that includes Loudoun County, Segura, right?
00:20:12.000That probably hurt him there without a doubt.
00:20:14.000But when all is said and done, he's still, and he's no MAGA bomb thrower.
00:20:20.000He did not perform in Loudoun County the way that people who make the case for that kind of candidate said that they would perform.
00:20:27.000Same thing with Hung Cow, kind of in that region as well.
00:20:30.000They underperformed badly in Virginia as far as the expectations they set for themselves.
00:20:35.000If you look around the map and have a real reality check with how blue Virginia really is now, I mean, it's not really a swing state anymore.
00:20:44.000It's a blue state that can be won under the right conditions for a Republican.
00:20:48.000And if you look around the map, it's not awful, but it's awful compared to the expectations they set and Yunkin set and the donors who wanted to put Yunkin into the presidential race that he set.
00:21:01.000But Owen and the Gibson race, the Owen v. Gibson race, I mean, come on, Charlie, Owen should have put Gibson away.
00:21:08.000And she still won in Rico County by a couple of points.
00:21:12.000And that's to me, you know, tells you, again, it's a turnout disparity.
00:21:17.000And by the way, Republicans, but this turnout on election day idea, Democrats turned out on election day.
00:21:23.000So you cannot always count on this massive disparity that's going to put you over the top on election day.
00:21:29.000Democrats obviously didn't vote as much, Charlie, as Republicans, but they voted enough and they did what they had to do.
00:21:36.000So if there is general president, let me just going into next November, let's say that there is massive turnout, like 2020-style turnout, even a little bit less.
00:22:03.000If you're looking at the presidential race, I honestly don't think it hurts Trump as much as it hurts other Republicans.
00:22:09.000He's distinguished himself differently on this issue.
00:22:12.000He just two months ago, a month and a half ago, was telling other Republicans in the nomination contest: you don't know how to talk about abortion.
00:22:19.000You're trying to win Iowa and you're making yourself unelectable.
00:22:22.000And they attacked him for it in an effort to try to win that caucus.
00:22:28.000So the answer to that really is it depends who the nominee is.
00:22:30.000It's most certainly going to be Donald Trump, but in the off chance, they figure some way to keep this guy away from being the Republican nominee.
00:22:38.000Most of the Republican candidates effectively have killed themselves already, Charlie.
00:22:42.000If you're looking and you're a believer in the abortion argument, or at the very least, and I'm not, I just think that what is happening is that Democrats are getting their abortion voters out the way Republicans used to in like 04, for instance.
00:23:24.000What was the big takeaway in Kentucky?
00:23:26.000It's perplexing to our audience how a state that went 75% for Donald Trump, 75%, could re-elect a Democrat governor given all the nonsense Democrats are facing right now.
00:23:38.000Some of this, you know, it's going to hurt people's feelings, but I don't really care.
00:23:42.000The reality on the one hand is that Kentucky elected two Republicans in the last 50 years, half century.
00:23:47.000They have elected Democratic governors for a long time.
00:23:50.000And Andy Bashir is the most popular red state Democratic governor in the country.
00:23:55.000Cameron cut into some of that in the last couple of weeks by tying himself to Trump.
00:24:00.000Those mailers, definitely, we know we spoke to voters about that.
00:24:04.000The mailers, you know, helped and hurt his approval rating a little bit and probably tightened the race a little bit.
00:24:10.000But I think there's a few things going on there.
00:24:13.000He did not perform well in the eastern ancestral Democratic counties that are like white Southern Democrats, still registered as Democrats who vote Republican at the presidential level.
00:24:29.000This is something that really needs to be discussed.
00:24:31.000Republican donors, for the most part, and you know, you talk to them too, they have been spending money on either one of two things: independent groups that are trying to get out the vote, um, or some core issues that they personally care about.
00:24:45.000And then the Republican primary to stop Donald Trump: $100 million to Team DeSantis.
00:24:50.000Kim Reynolds endorsed him the other day.
00:24:52.000It is literally Kim Reynolds's job to get Republicans elected governor.
00:24:56.000And he got outspent 17 million to four.
00:25:21.000And until Republicans start punishing these people who are in charge, like listening to your show earlier about Rona, with the exception of Kevin McCarthy, basically all of the players who blew 22 are still in place, Charlie.
00:25:35.000So I don't know how anyone else expects a different result.
00:25:38.000I know that Kentucky is difficult for a Republican, especially with a popular Democratic governor, even though it's a red state, it is not at the state level.
00:25:46.000I know that it's a difficult one, but Cameron should have won that race.
00:27:16.000Ohio, I mean, Trump won it twice by almost 10 points, but the exit polls last night showed that the electorate was actually when you asked who did you vote for?
00:27:31.000So the RNC is one of the things that they are tasked with is having accurate, actionable data, being a central hub to be able to find out, you know, where our turnout problems and issues are.
00:27:44.000And, you know, just so we're clear, not a soul from the Republican establishment reached out to turning point action and our hundreds of thousands of activists, Rich, because they hate us.
00:27:55.000And look, I mean, we're doing our best here.
00:27:57.000We're trying to hire, you know, hundreds of people.
00:27:59.000We're raising millions for ballot chasing.
00:28:03.000You know, we only got so much we can do.
00:28:05.000But, you know, maybe 90 days ago, I would have checked all, I would have put, I mean this, I would have put all of my criticism aside of Rana Mick Romney.
00:28:14.000And if she wanted to do a, you know, a conference call, let's get on the same page.
00:28:42.000Doing everything he can in Allegheny, doing everything he can in Beaver County, running around Pennsylvania, still hasn't gotten a call back.
00:28:49.000He's literally, you know, there are people out there that are just saying, hey, Scott, you're coming out here to help.
00:29:52.000I'm telling you, if you advertisement.
00:29:55.000Tomorrow morning, the base is going to be Blitz and Mad because you're going to have all these clips going viral of Lester Holt and Welker going after our candidates.
00:30:05.000So tell me, Chris Christie, would you ban birth control?
00:30:08.000Have you ever used birth control, Chris?
00:30:09.000I mean, it's like the most weird questions, right?
00:30:12.000And that's what we have to spend our money on.
00:30:19.000There's some very sophisticated technology out there that the left is using against us, micro-targeted advertisement, personalized political messaging.
00:30:27.000There is nothing of the sort that is happening on the right from GO TV to text messaging to any of that, from using artificial intelligence.
00:30:35.000The RNC and the Republican establishment, I believe, wants to lose.
00:30:40.000They want to be controlled opposition.
00:30:41.000Rich, talk about the exciting new technologies on the horizon broadly.
00:30:45.000You can get specific if you want, that the right refuses to use.
00:30:49.000Yeah, I'm telling you, Charlie, this year is going to revolutionize how campaigning is even done.
00:30:54.000The AI that you just brought up, they're thinking of it too as a way to implement or make texting easier when the left basically did that beta testing it back in 22.
00:31:05.000And I know that because we were involved in this.
00:31:07.000It's been a little over a year now, and the RNC did have an ear into it.
00:31:11.000They had a seat at the table, but they don't seem to be comprehending the power of this technology.
00:31:18.000I mean, it essentially, Charlie, is having a thousand volunteers with one agent who knows how to work the AI.
00:31:25.000It's the power of a thousand volunteers.
00:31:27.000And they just kind of, oh, you know, that'll help us send out text messages and send back a generic reply.
00:31:32.000Meanwhile, this thing augments with the database, whatever database you're using, L2 or Aristotle, and then profiles people based on their attributes and responses.
00:31:42.000It engages, it engages with them like a human being.
00:32:37.000So even if somebody were to develop something like this and it's out there now, and somebody else knew how to work it better and knew how to apply it better, you would never know because the RNC has everything centralized.
00:32:50.000And if it's not one of their people, it'll never make its way there anyway.
00:32:56.000Democrats have third-party groups operating independently of each other, but they don't step on each other's toes.
00:33:01.000And they all are basically working together as like one cog in a very large machine.
00:33:07.000And it's ironic because Republicans are the ones who don't believe in centralized government, yet they centralize their political machine, right?
00:33:14.000And Democrats believe in centralized government, but their machine or at least their infrastructure to get out the vote is not centralized at all.
00:33:54.000The reason is she just didn't get the juice out of all those red counties that somebody like Donald Trump and only Donald Trump has been able to do in the modern era.
00:34:03.000And this is why Republicans have to pull their heads out of their you know what's because win or lose, he won't be around forever, right?
00:34:10.000What are they going to do when he's gone?
00:34:12.000The blame Trump argument is so intellectually lazy and it's intellectually exhausted.
00:34:18.000It's like people who make this argument are just exhausted in their mind.
00:34:22.000They don't have any answers and they don't have any way to where to go.
00:34:26.000You know, Trump is a turnout driver and that's something that obviously he's proven not once, but twice.
00:34:32.000But you need still organization and you need a plan for when he's gone.
00:34:37.000Democrats are not going to go down easy, folks.
00:34:39.000All these polls out there, that's great, but they're not going down easy, Charlie.
00:34:44.000And people better realize their best shot is with this guy.
