00:01:29.000 It is day three of the Democrat National Convention.

00:01:31.000 I'm no longer in Chicago, as you could tell.

00:01:34.000 We had a couple great days there.

00:01:35.000 I'm really glad I went.

00:01:36.000 I learned a lot, I absorbed a lot, and I have more and more takeaways that we will share throughout this hour and throughout our program.

00:01:45.000 There is a trick.

00:01:46.000 There is a PSYOP.

00:01:47.000 There is a game that is being played against the American people. 0.69

00:01:51.000 And it's very clever if you do not have eyes to see and ears to hear.

00:01:55.000 It's very clever what the Democrat Party is doing.

00:01:59.000 You see, they understand, they know the top leaders, David Plouffe being the leader of the Democrat Party right now.

00:02:05.000 David Plouffe, by the way, was the senior campaign advisor and campaign manager for Barack Obama back in 2008.

00:02:11.000 He wrote the best political book of the modern era called Audacity to Win.

00:02:16.000 David Plouffe is now the campaign manager senior advisor for Kamala Harris.

00:02:20.000 He's a very, very smart person.

00:02:22.000 And David Plouffe knows that Kamala Harris's policies and Joe Biden and what this White House has done and honestly the state of the country is bad for Democrats.

00:02:31.000 They know that the state of the race is a difficult terrain, so the brilliant idea, and it's very risky that they have, is let's pretend that we're not in office.

00:02:42.000 Let's pretend in our speeches, in our vibes, in our messaging, that we're not the ones running the country.

00:02:48.000 Because we're not going to run on results, we're not going to run on wins, we're not going to run on victories or successes.

00:02:54.000 We're going to run against the other side, and then on just pure, over-the-top exuberance, energy, enthusiasm.

00:03:04.000 And if you watch the DNC and you aren't a trained eye, you can fall victim to this propaganda.

00:03:18.000 You can fall victim to this idea that the current Democrat Party They're trying to make it seem as if they are the rebels.

00:03:29.000 That they are the resistance.

00:03:31.000 That Donald Trump is still controlling every major institution.

00:03:36.000 Obama certainly made it feel that way yesterday.

00:03:39.000 Now, let's look at the obvious side of the way.

00:03:41.000 Michelle Obama and Barack Obama objectively gave very powerful convention speeches.

00:03:45.000 I think Michelle Obama was far more effective than Barack Obama.

00:03:50.000 Michelle Obama goes after Trump, goes after the Republican Party, and what was missing though from Michelle Obama's very well-delivered speech, it was objectively a well-delivered speech, She didn't all of a sudden riff off, and here's the things that this administration has done.

00:04:09.000 For example, at the RNC, when Donald Trump spoke and all these surrogates, all the surrogates spoke, myself included, we said, you should put Donald Trump back in the White House because he gave you Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

00:04:23.000 He renegotiated NAFTA.

00:04:25.000 Unemployment rate was at a 17-year low.

00:04:27.000 Mortgage applications were at a 7-year high.

00:04:29.000 More than 5 million jobs were created.

00:04:31.000 Consumer confidence was at a 17-year high.

00:04:33.000 The stock market was reaching record highs.

00:04:37.000 We had peace in the Middle East and no new wars.

00:04:40.000 We were building the Keystone XL pipeline.

00:04:43.000 We were limiting immigration and border crossings at an all-time low.

00:04:48.000 We are energy independent.

00:04:50.000 The middle class blue collar boom was underway.

00:04:53.000 The result, we could pepper and we could say in a bullet form fashion, Democrats have nothing to run on.

00:04:58.000 Now, of course, in their own circles, they're happy that the border is open and the country is collapsing and inflation is amok because inflation and immigration are not mistakes. 0.84

00:05:07.000 They are stated policy positions of the Democrat Party.

00:05:11.000 But you must take a step back and you must say, time out here.

00:05:15.000 Beautiful speech, Michelle.

00:05:16.000 Really great.

00:05:17.000 You know what you're doing.

00:05:18.000 Barack, Barry Sotero, you know how to deliver a speech.

00:05:22.000 No one has ever debated that from Boston, Massachusetts in 2004 when he said, there's no red states, there's no blue states, there's the United States of America.

00:05:29.000 He's been on the public stage for 20 years.

00:05:32.000 But what have you done?

00:05:34.000 And if this election is about results, Donald Trump will win.

00:05:37.000 If this election is about vibes and attitude and charisma, they're gonna out-Hollywood us.

00:05:43.000 Their production was over-the-top, from their roll call to Little John to going to the event in Milwaukee with Kamala Harris.

00:05:53.000 But you must detach yourself from the propaganda and say, wait a second, outside of all the taunting and the one-liners and the ridiculous Attitude that is being espoused.

00:06:07.000 What are they running on?

00:06:10.000 This is Michelle Obama going after Donald Trump in such a low blow fashion.

00:06:14.000 By the way, Michelle Obama, weren't you the one that says when they go low, we go high?

00:06:19.000 Where's that Michelle Obama exactly? 0.98

00:06:21.000 She went very, very low.

00:06:23.000 So did Barack Obama.

00:06:25.000 Where's the, we're not going to go to their level?

00:06:27.000 Oh, Michelle Obama lying and deceiving, going after Donald Trump, saying something he didn't say, when Donald Trump was talking about black unemployment, saying he might be searching for one of those black jobs? 0.55

00:06:39.000 This is all they have, is social media taunting.

00:06:41.000 One-liners made for TikTok.

00:06:43.000 Base Democrat politics, a lot of rhetoric, and not focusing or emphasizing on what have you done on the border, on inflation, on middle class growth, on industrial policy.

00:06:55.000 Why is it that there's hundreds of thousands of people that have died in Ukraine?

00:06:58.000 American weaponry is now being used in the interior of Russia.

00:07:01.000 We have the Middle East in bedlam. 0.99

00:07:03.000 Energy prices are record high.

00:07:04.000 We were energy independent under Donald Trump.

00:07:06.000 Where are the results?

00:07:07.000 They don't have results to run on.

00:07:08.000 So they have pure propaganda brought to you by the mainstream narrative and the regime.

00:07:15.000 Play cut 56.

00:07:17.000 For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us.

00:07:27.000 See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be black.

00:07:39.000 I want to know.

00:07:41.000 I want to know.

00:07:44.000 Who's gonna tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs? 1.00

00:07:52.000 That's all they have.

00:07:53.000 Taunting.

00:07:54.000 One-liners.

00:07:55.000 Again, if you are looking at this as a political outsider, you might get mesmerized by that speech.

00:08:01.000 You might become a little emotional and you say, wait, oh, and then afterwards, you know, your emotions die down and you look at your Amazon shopping cart and you can't afford groceries.

00:08:11.000 You can't afford the rent.

00:08:14.000 You realize that your kid is going to a school being overrun by Hondurans and Nicaraguans? 0.99

00:08:19.000 Crime is going up in your local neighborhood?

00:08:22.000 The question that we must ask is, who's in control of this country?

00:08:26.000 Because if you watch the DNC, they don't take ownership of America.

00:08:30.000 Do you notice they don't take ownership?

00:08:32.000 Because they know that if they were to present a clear agenda of what they have done, the American people are very, very negative on their agenda.

00:08:42.000 So she's talking about Kamala Harris.

00:08:44.000 This is their sales pitch for Kamala Harris.

00:08:48.000 Notice the platitudes, the one-liners, the abstractions.

00:08:52.000 Not a single legislative or policy accomplishment.

00:08:57.000 Instead of saying Kamala Harris is able to get border crossings down and secure the border, she was able to be in charge of negotiating peace with Ukraine and Russia.

00:09:06.000 This is all brand and no content.

00:09:09.000 This is all pizzazz and all With shiny little objects and no meat whatsoever.

00:09:17.000 It's all hat and no cattle.

00:09:20.000 So listen carefully.

00:09:21.000 This is Michelle Obama who delivers a beautiful soliloquy of garbage here.

00:09:29.000 What are the results?

00:09:31.000 She's the current Vice President of the United States. 1.00

00:09:33.000 She's in charge of this country. 0.63

00:09:35.000 Play cut 59.

00:09:38.000 Pamela has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others.

00:09:53.000 She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward.

00:10:00.000 We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.

00:10:06.000 If things don't go our way, we don't have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead.

00:10:15.000 No!

00:10:18.000 We don't get to change the rules so we always win.

00:10:22.000 If we see a mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top.

00:10:28.000 No.

00:10:31.000 It's like from Wolf of Wall Street.

00:10:35.000 Fugazi! 0.98

00:10:36.000 Fugazi! 0.98

00:10:37.000 Where's the meat?

00:10:38.000 Where's the essence?

00:10:39.000 If you really listen carefully, this is so manipulative and insulting.

00:10:47.000 That was 45 seconds of just, okay, propaganda.

00:10:50.000 It's well written by your speechwriters.

00:10:51.000 Great job, Michelle. 0.79

00:10:53.000 People are suffering right now.

00:10:55.000 We're losing our country.

00:10:56.000 And that's the best that you have?

00:10:58.000 They're not just painting an image of Kamala Harris that's not real.

00:11:01.000 She's currently in charge.

00:11:02.000 And she doesn't even assume that mantle.

00:11:05.000 Because they know the American people, when they connect those dots, will reject her this November.

00:11:13.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:16.000 Haven't filed in a while?

00:12:18.000 This is the Democrat policy.

00:12:20.000 Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

00:12:22.000 Once you get out of the matrix, you're like, oh my goodness, it's all fake.

00:12:27.000 It's synthetic.

00:12:28.000 There's not a single policy mention.

00:12:30.000 You know, they always talk about, yes, we as Democrats care so much about policy.

00:12:33.000 Last night, they mentioned Donald Trump 24 times.

00:12:35.000 They only mentioned the economy six times, the border four times, inflation one time, crime zero times.

00:12:40.000 I do not think we have a list of how many times they mentioned abortion.

00:12:47.000 I think every speaker mentioned abortion.

00:12:49.000 Letting women to do whatever they want with their bodies. 1.00

00:12:52.000 That is their idea of a winning campaign message.

00:12:56.000 But once you see it, once you detach from the matrix, you realize that as the country is collapsing, as people can't afford basic necessities, as the border is wide open and we are being invaded, as our women are being hunted down, it's all fairy dust.

00:13:17.000 Play cut 98.

00:13:17.000 That's the Democrat Party.

00:13:21.000 Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

00:13:24.000 It's a fake.

00:13:25.000 It's a wazzy, it's a woozy, it's a...

00:13:28.000 Fairy dust.

00:13:29.000 It doesn't exist.

00:13:30.000 It's never landed.

00:13:31.000 It is no matter.

00:13:32.000 It's not on the elemental chart.

00:13:34.000 It's not f***ing real.

00:13:36.000 That's the Democrat Party. 0.54

00:13:39.000 Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

00:13:42.000 And it goes back to this question of who's in charge?

00:13:46.000 Who is running the country?

00:13:49.000 Now, it might not be Joe Biden who's out in Santa Barbara right now enjoying a nice vacation.

00:13:55.000 Who's making these decisions?

00:13:57.000 And who is responsible for what you are living through?

00:14:01.000 Who is responsible for the fact that the majority of Americans think that the country is going in the wrong direction?

00:14:06.000 Is it all Donald Trump's fault?

00:14:09.000 Democrats have controlled the White House 12 out of the last 16 years.

00:14:17.000 The Uniparty has controlled the White House 20 out of the last 24 years in this new millennium.

00:14:24.000 For four years we had a little bit of a change, and those four years are looked back upon as being some of those prosperous, safest, best years in modern American history.

00:14:36.000 The economy was humming, there were no new wars, we were not being invaded, crime was on the way down, and yet they have programmed The population to believe that it's all Donald Trump's fault.

00:14:48.000 It's all his fault for just four years of a successful presidency.

00:14:55.000 And Kamala Harris comes up on stage and does not list, I did this and we did this and we did this.

00:15:02.000 She's trying to convince you that she is the insurgent.

00:15:06.000 This was beautifully put last evening on CNN.

00:15:10.000 Play cut 90.

00:15:13.000 In all these speeches, as good as they were, is that she's in the White House right now.

00:15:20.000 Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and for all of the talk about division and the problems in the country and people are hurting, Democrats have mostly controlled this country.

00:15:32.000 Trump had it for four, the Obamas and Biden had it for the rest of the time, and somehow, It's still all Trump's fault and somehow she hasn't been at the center of it.

00:15:44.000 So to me, that's still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn't yet been solved at the convention.

00:15:50.000 How do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years who is supposed to already be working on solving it?

00:16:00.000 So who's actually the one that is responsible?

00:16:06.000 She has no respect for the citizens of this country.

00:16:09.000 She still has not taken a press conference or has done a sit-down interview.

00:16:13.000 She takes like a one-off question here or there while she's just kind of on the way out.

00:16:18.000 She's really done one or two questions in the last month and one of them was, are you going to debate Donald Trump?

00:16:21.000 That's not even a question.

00:16:24.000 And so when you take a step back and you can see through the outright propaganda campaign, you start to realize That these people, the Obamas, the Clintons, the Pelosi's, the Schumer's, how much damage that they have done to this beautiful country.

00:16:48.000 And the message really needs to be reminding people, hey, Donald Trump was there for four years and did a wonderful job.

00:16:56.000 Democrats have been in charge 12 out of the last 16 years.

00:17:00.000 What is the accomplishment that you guys want to brag on?

00:17:02.000 Tell us your greatest win.

00:17:05.000 Tell us the thing that you are most excited about.

00:17:10.000 That you are over the top about.

00:17:12.000 The agenda item that you are running on.

00:17:15.000 They can't.

00:17:16.000 Because there is no such thing.

00:17:19.000 Because the accomplishments that they do have are ones that Only if you hate America, you'd think that there are accomplishments.

00:17:29.000 10 million new foreigners.

00:17:31.000 The dollar is losing its value.

00:17:33.000 War in almost every hemisphere.

00:17:36.000 Typically, when you have a convention, your odds go up in the betting markets.

00:18:30.000 Don't get fooled by other providers pretending to share your values or the same coverage So typically, when you have a convention, you experience a bump.

00:18:53.000 You experience odds going in your favor.

00:18:56.000 When Donald Trump's convention was occurring, in the betting markets, which are not scientific, it's more based on vibes, but I guess that is the new normal.

00:19:05.000 The vibes of the Trump candidacy were going up.

00:19:10.000 The chances of Trump's winning were going up during the Republican National Convention.

00:19:19.000 Interestingly though, fascinating, That during this convention, this DNC, it's been two days, betting markets show Donald Trump going up.

00:19:31.000 In fact, betting markets now give Donald Trump a 52% chance of winning the presidency with Kamala Harris at 47%.

00:19:41.000 Now, we'll see if this manifests into polling, which I am doubtful, but I cannot ever recall a convention dip.

00:19:49.000 This continues to go in Trump's direction, moved 0.8 towards Trump since we checked it last night, and that is on polymarket.com.

00:19:57.000 Now, to be fair, Predict It, which is another foreign-based, I think it's New Zealand-based betting market, they still have Donald Trump as the underdog around 47% chance.

00:20:08.000 Here is my theory.

00:20:10.000 My theory is that Kamala Harris already had her convention. 1.00

00:20:15.000 What she experienced these last two weeks was the equivalent of a convention.

00:20:19.000 Non-stop positive media coverage.

00:20:22.000 Relentless.

00:20:25.000 It can only go down from here.

00:20:26.000 Eventually what goes up must come down.

00:20:30.000 Gravity will eventually Come to the Kamala Harris campaign.

00:20:39.000 The air will be let out of the room eventually.

00:20:41.000 And there's already Kamala fatigue.

00:20:43.000 And I also attribute this to her making a very, very big mistake.

00:20:49.000 Kamala Harris last week told the country what she planned to do. 0.68

00:20:54.000 As soon as she announced her economic plan, which was widely criticized by the media.

00:20:59.000 Can we get that CNN clip again from last week, please?

00:21:03.000 That CNN clip.

00:21:06.000 That as soon as that was brought to be center stage, people are like, wait, is it a new price controls?

00:21:13.000 Not to mention yesterday, she said she wants to cap unrealized capital gains, or she wants to raise the capital gains tax and potentially tax unrealized capital gains.

00:21:25.000 Typically, when you see a convention, you see a building surge, you see More and more support.

00:21:32.000 The odds seem more in your favor, but it seems as if the more the American people see from this, the worse the numbers are.

00:21:41.000 Kamala Harris is proposing an insane 25% tax on unrealized capital gains.

00:21:47.000 So let me tell you how crippling this would be for the American economy.

00:21:51.000 This is communist.

00:21:53.000 This is communist.

00:21:55.000 Imagine buying shares of Apple stock for $10,000.

00:22:01.000 And their price rose to $15,000.

00:22:05.000 Under Kamala's plan, you'd own taxes on the $5,000 gain, even though you haven't sold the shares or made any actual profit.

00:22:13.000 Now imagine the stock's value drops back down to $10,000 the following year.

00:22:18.000 The gain that you were taxed on has vanished.

00:22:20.000 So you already paid 25% on a gain that no longer exists, leaving you with a financial loss and no real benefit.

00:22:26.000 And you had to pay taxes on something that doesn't exist.

00:22:29.000 Taxing unrealized gains would force investors to sell off assets to cover their tax bills, hurting long-term investments and economic growth.

00:22:39.000 This is a recipe for a stock market crash and also, for those of you that own homes, again, you want to win baby boomer voters? 0.88

00:22:46.000 This is a way to run up the score with baby boomer voters, Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:22:50.000 Talking about from our side.

00:22:52.000 You bought a home for $300,000.

00:22:55.000 Now the home is worth $600,000.

00:22:57.000 That's a $300,000 gain.

00:22:59.000 By the way, where do you get money for this?

00:23:04.000 Do you sell the stock to cover the tax bill?

00:23:08.000 This is so dangerous.

00:23:12.000 And I believe this is one of the reasons why her betting odds and why her chances in the presidential election are going down and Donald Trump is ascendant.

00:23:22.000 Trump has been having a great week.

00:23:23.000 It's not been reported by the media.

00:23:24.000 He's been on message.

00:23:25.000 He's been on point.

00:23:26.000 He's been going to the battleground states.

00:23:28.000 He's been going to Wisconsin, going to Michigan.

00:23:30.000 He's in North Carolina today.

00:23:34.000 Kamala Harris demands homeowners give up nearly half their profit in taxes when selling their homes. 0.92

00:23:41.000 Now I want to play a clip here of a Chicago alderman who I think pinpoints it perfectly.

00:23:48.000 But let me tell you something I keep on hearing from people on the ground.

00:23:52.000 What I keep on hearing from baby boomers and older Americans is they say, Charlie, typically, okay, if Trump wins, if Biden wins, whatever, business grinds on.

00:24:03.000 They say, Charlie, if Kamala wins, I'm actually scared of what this would mean for the country.

00:24:09.000 There is real fear amongst rank-and-file retirees to the radical, revolutionary, life-altering type of policies that she would bring.

00:24:19.000 And by the way, you're right.

00:24:22.000 She's a fundamental insurgent revolutionary communist.

00:24:27.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Harris endorsed Joe Biden's fiscal year 2025 budget proposal this week.

00:24:33.000 Many have sounded the alarm on the proposal as it allows 44.6% tax rate on long-term capital gains.

00:24:40.000 According to Yahoo Finance, Harris is likely also to decrease the threshold for the estate tax, which currently stands at $13.6 million for a single filer.

00:24:49.000 Which would CRUSH, which would CRUSH farms in this country.

00:24:55.000 So let's first go to CNN.

00:24:57.000 This is CNN that was reporting on Kamala Harris' economic plan, which I think was the beginning of the end of comlimentum.

00:25:05.000 Typically when you have these conventions you see a big surge.

00:25:08.000 We still might see that in the polling.

00:25:09.000 We still might see some of the sugar high.

00:25:14.000 But on the ground and you're talking to people and you're seeing all of a sudden Virginia within the margin of error.

00:25:18.000 VIRGINIA within the margin of error?

00:25:20.000 A state that Donald Trump lost by 10 points in 2020 is within the margin of error?

00:25:25.000 There's something else happening here.

00:25:27.000 And the media can only cover it up for so long.

00:25:29.000 First, play cut 102.

00:25:33.000 The federal ban on price gouging for groceries.

00:25:36.000 You are skeptical of this.

00:25:37.000 Why?

00:25:38.000 We've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before.

00:25:43.000 Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, etc.

00:25:46.000 It leads to shortages.

00:25:48.000 It leads to black markets.

00:25:51.000 You know, plenty of uncertainty.

00:25:53.000 And beyond that, the specific way this bill is written might actually increase prices.

00:26:01.000 And just so we're clear, today there was new jobs data that came out.

00:26:05.000 The government lies about everything.

00:26:06.000 They lied about COVID deaths.

00:26:07.000 They lied about masks.

00:26:08.000 They lied about kids shutting down schools.

00:26:10.000 They lied about six feet of social distancing.

00:26:14.000 They lied about the efficacy of the vaccine.

00:26:15.000 They lied about the safety of the vaccine.

00:26:17.000 They lied about ivermectin.

00:26:18.000 They lied about hydroxychloroquine.

00:26:19.000 They lied about the border.

00:26:20.000 They lied about how many illegals there are.

00:26:21.000 They lied about crime.

00:26:22.000 They lied about violent crime.

00:26:23.000 They lied about Ukraine.

00:26:23.000 They lied about the budget.

00:26:25.000 And now they lie about...

00:26:27.000 Jobs.

00:26:28.000 They're like, oh, actually the job numbers have been adjusted by a million.

00:26:34.000 Democrat Chicago Alderman says it perfectly.

00:26:39.000 This Democrat convention is not winning over new voters.

00:26:44.000 It is simply a rallying cry for the base of the Democrat party.

00:26:47.000 Okay.

00:26:48.000 Kamala Harris might run up the score in New York City. 0.88

00:26:52.000 Is that going to play in Peoria, Arizona?

00:26:55.000 You get it?

00:26:57.000 I don't think that's going to play in Peoria.

00:27:00.000 Play cut 89.

00:27:02.000 Alderman Lopez, great to see you.

00:27:04.000 Democrats winning any new voters at this convention?

00:27:08.000 I highly doubt it.

00:27:08.000 I think this is all playing to their own base, not trying to recruit new people, because clearly the Democratic Party, my party, is not interested in talking about what matters.

00:27:17.000 How are you going to keep people safe?

00:27:18.000 How are you going to secure the border?

00:27:20.000 And how are you going to deal with the 8 million undocumented individuals that they let in under Kamala Harris's lead?

00:27:26.000 Because right now, we're like in this beauty pageant of hypocrisy going on right now.

00:27:30.000 where we have had a lot of press it because they want to know what do you

00:27:34.000 think that's a thing you have the most american of american cities for work on

00:27:39.000 people here feel welcome enjoy our beautiful city and one hundred percent of

00:27:43.000 the beautiful city we had a board of every single

00:27:47.000 area to keep it safe from looters and rioters that are mayor brandon johnson

00:27:51.000 has welcomed here and said come and show us what you're talking about

00:27:54.000 now a little bit of hope that that is chicago alderman think it's it's something lopez

00:28:00.000 What was his name again?

00:28:02.000 He's saying it very clearly.

00:28:05.000 What has the Democrat Party put forward as a three-pronged solution?

00:28:10.000 To make your streets safer, your groceries more affordable, and your borders secure.

00:28:14.000 His name is Raymond Lopez.

00:28:16.000 Thank you.

00:28:18.000 The answer is nothing.

00:28:19.000 It is a depopulation parade.

00:28:25.000 Where you can get vasectomies in the van outside.

00:28:29.000 25 abortions have already happened, by the way.

00:28:31.000 Again, regardless of your opinions on abortion, you know I'm pro-life.

00:28:36.000 You have 25 babies that were aborted, just feet outside of the DNC, and they're bragging about it?

00:28:42.000 This is really sick stuff.

00:28:45.000 There is something so morally wrong with the Democrat Party, where they are advertising, bragging, that just feet from the DNC, you can go get abortion and vasectomies and you can shout it and advertise it.

00:29:01.000 And in the next segment, I'm going to tell you about What Kamala Harris did yesterday and the branding that she had in Milwaukee.

00:29:10.000 David Plouffe, smart man, running the Kamala campaign.

00:29:12.000 They said, hey, what if we do a rally during the DNC in Wisconsin?

00:29:17.000 By the way, that's the abortion truck right there.

00:29:19.000 People are going in to go get abortions.

00:29:23.000 People are going in to go get vasectomies.

00:29:26.000 In a mobile, in a mobile van.

00:29:31.000 This is the Democrats vision for the country.

00:29:33.000 Pure depopulation.

00:29:38.000 Excuse me.

00:29:42.000 This is what their idea of freedom is.

00:29:43.000 And that's what we're going to talk about in the next segment.

00:29:46.000 They say freedom?

00:29:47.000 They want freedom to be able to go into a mobile RV van and get a vasectomy? 0.94

00:29:51.000 And not just be able to do it, but it's the celebrating that is the most disgusting part of it.

00:29:57.000 If you have to get a vasectomy because you've had five kids, okay.

00:30:00.000 And you want to make sure that, you know, there's control there.

00:30:05.000 Go for it, I suppose.

00:30:09.000 This is a shameful exercise.

00:30:13.000 And they do it this way because they know what they're doing is actually evil and sinister, and the only way they can cope with it is to celebrate it and to evangelize other people.

00:30:23.000 Okay everybody, so last evening, I gotta give credit to David Plouffe, he's running a good campaign.

00:30:28.000 Do not underestimate David Plouffe.

00:30:31.000 If you were to say, Charlie, what is Kamala Harris' greatest advantage in this election?

00:30:35.000 David Plouffe is a smart dude.

00:30:39.000 I read his book growing up.

00:30:40.000 It was one of the first things I made our entire staff read at Turning Point.

00:30:43.000 Audacity to win.

00:30:45.000 Do not underestimate David Plouffe.

00:30:48.000 Okay, let's put up 9495 up on screen.

00:30:51.000 So David Plouffe is running the campaign and they Did a counter-event in Milwaukee.

00:30:58.000 This is super smart of them, in a battleground state, because obviously their convention is in Chicago, not exactly drawing swing voters there.

00:31:04.000 So they decide to do a counter-event in Milwaukee, and they filled it up.

00:31:08.000 And you know what arena that was in?

00:31:10.000 That was in the arena that the RNC was in.

00:31:13.000 So kind of a little bit of a hey, a little bit of a jab.

00:31:16.000 And do you notice the branding there?

00:31:17.000 Freedom!

00:31:19.000 And I just saw these images, and it set me off last night.

00:31:23.000 This is one of the most revolting Twilight Zone upside-down world propaganda in the history of all politics.

00:31:31.000 And we cannot allow it to continue.

00:31:33.000 So let me be clear.

00:31:35.000 The party that has freedom branded everywhere as their message.

00:31:39.000 They're the ones that mandated an experimental vaccine and fired people who wouldn't take it.

00:31:45.000 They are the party of freedom.

00:31:48.000 The party whose vice presidential nominee believes the first amendment doesn't apply to misinformation is the party of freedom.

00:31:55.000 The party that wants to imprison the opposition leader as if we are a tin pot third world state is the party of freedom.

00:32:04.000 The party that locked Americans in their homes and barred them from worshipping God and from being with their kids and sending their kids to school is the party of freedom?

00:32:13.000 The party that arrested people for not wearing masks on airplanes is the party of freedom?

00:32:19.000 The party that wants to ban gas stoves and gas-powered cars is the party of freedom?

00:32:26.000 The party that wants to take your guns away and your Second Amendment God-given rights is the Party of Freedom.

00:32:33.000 The party that imprisons people for making memes like Douglas Mackey is the Party of Freedom.

00:32:39.000 The party that puts political dissidents like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon in federal prison is the Party of Freedom.

00:32:47.000 The party that wants to make homeschooling and pregnancy crisis centers illegal is the Party of Freedom.

00:32:55.000 There is literally only one freedom the left actually cares about.

00:32:59.000 They're happy to throw literally every other single right in the garbage.

00:33:03.000 You can't own guns, you can't speak your mind, you don't have a right to privacy.

00:33:07.000 By the way, the party that authorized and pushed forward the most expansive and aggressive Patriot Act in American history?

00:33:15.000 The party that has expanded the FBI?

00:33:19.000 No, there's only one freedom that they care about, and it's not even freedom.

00:33:23.000 And I'm not even talking about the party of censorship, IRS surveillance.

00:33:28.000 The freedom that they are pathologically obsessed about is the freedom to be able to terminate another being in your being.

00:33:37.000 They don't even believe your body, your choice.

00:33:39.000 If it was your body, your choice, the amazing military members that were kicked out of the United States military during COVID would still be there with back pay and an apology.

00:33:48.000 But they're not.

00:33:50.000 They are propagandizing you on one single freedom.

00:33:54.000 The freedom to be able to go into a mobile RV van when two people walk in and one person exits.

00:34:02.000 This is the most propaganda, aggressive propaganda we've seen in recent memory.

00:34:10.000 Ever, I think.

00:34:13.000 What is freedom for them?

00:34:15.000 They don't love liberty.

00:34:16.000 They never have.

00:34:18.000 These are the people, by the way, that believe that hate speech should be illegal.

00:34:22.000 These are the people that do not believe in free speech.

00:34:24.000 Their party hates freedom of speech.

00:34:27.000 They're the ones that got mad if you were not wearing a mask while you're driving alone in your car.

00:34:32.000 Their idea of freedom is abortion vans in every town. 0.80

00:34:36.000 At the RNC, we had food trucks that were being run by entrepreneurs.

00:34:41.000 At the DNC, they have abortion trucks.

00:34:45.000 As they brand freedom, freedom, freedom, They want you to be a comfortable slave where you own nothing and you are miserable.

00:34:54.000 You can't own a gun.

00:34:55.000 You can't speak your mind.

00:34:57.000 You can't leave your home.

00:34:59.000 You got to take nine vaccines to even walk into a public place.

00:35:03.000 But the one freedom that you're still allowed to have.

00:35:05.000 The one freedom that we're going to still allow you is to be able to depopulate the earth.

00:35:11.000 That freedom we'll give you.

00:35:12.000 And that's not even freedom, by the way.

00:35:14.000 That is licentiousness.

00:35:15.000 That is pure evil.
