00:01:43.000 Joining us now is Caroline Levitt from the Trump campaign.

00:01:47.000 There is some very promising polling coming out, but also some big gains that need to be made.

00:01:51.000 Caroline, welcome to the program.

00:01:53.000 Talk about how young voters and the changing polling landscape with minorities and how is the president doing?

00:02:00.000 Hey, great to see you, Charlie.

00:02:01.000 The president is doing great.

00:02:03.000 Morale at Team Trump is very high, in large part because of what you just mentioned.

00:02:07.000 We are seeing a colossal shift in the polling.

00:02:10.000 We've been seeing it for months now.

00:02:11.000 And President Trump has never been in a stronger position to win.

00:02:15.000 Not only does he remain dominant, but he's actually growing his support among key constituencies that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party have long relied on.

00:02:24.000 First, as you mentioned, is young voters.

00:02:27.000 We are seeing President Trump actually leading in many polls with young voters.

00:02:30.000 Our internal data inflects the same.

00:02:33.000 And this is a demographic we will not be taking for granted.

00:02:36.000 Young people are growing increasingly dissatisfied with Joe Biden's handling of the economy.

00:02:42.000 And Biden's really stuck in between Iraq and a hard place with this group of voters because you got the far left who don't think he's been left enough.

00:02:49.000 They want more student loan forgiveness.

00:02:50.000 They don't like his handling of the war in Israel and Gaza.

00:02:54.000 But then you have a large chunk of young voters, latter half of Gen Z, early millennials who are just starting out their life and realizing that Bidenomics has made the American dream completely unattainable.

00:03:07.000 So our message to those voters is if you want to restore the American dream, if you want to return mortgage rates to a record low of 2.65%, as they were under President Trump's leadership, then you got to vote for him.

00:03:19.000 Joe Biden isn't the answer.

00:03:20.000 He's going to continue with his tax and spend policies that are making life more difficult.

00:03:24.000 I want to get to a piece of tape here.

00:03:27.000 And the question in front of us is going to be: can we build broader coalitions, especially with third-party elements involved?

00:03:35.000 Let's play Cut 15, please.

00:03:37.000 Yeah, I mean, the racial dynamics in this race could be unprecedented, and they are certainly fascinating.

00:03:43.000 Donald Trump at this point is polling not only better than he did in 2020 among both black and Hispanic voters, he's polling better, Casey, than any Republican presidential nominee since the civil rights era.

00:03:56.000 You know, in the routinely getting in the 20s now in polls, both nationally and the key states among black voters and around 45 among Hispanic voters.

00:04:05.000 And all of that has understandably received a lot of attention.

00:04:09.000 Why do you think that is, Caroline?

00:04:12.000 Well, for African American voters, we are seeing President Trump win a historic margin.

00:04:16.000 If these numbers hold, they're earth-shattering for the Democrat Party, not just in 2024, but in future election cycles.

00:04:23.000 President Trump has helped transform the GOP into the party of the working man and the working woman, while the Democrat Party has become the party of the limousine liberal, the elitist, the out-of-touch celebrity who wants to have rules for themselves, especially minority Americans who are suffering in inner cities that have become sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.

00:04:46.000 We've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence on the ground in battleground states, particularly across the country, where black voters who have been impoverished because of Democrat policies, who never wanted to defund their police, but the Democrats didn't listen to them, are now grappling with increased crime.

00:05:03.000 And not only that, but they're being put last.

00:05:05.000 They are watching their recreational centers, their gyms, their public schools being shut down to make room for illegal migrants. 1.00

00:05:13.000 And that's infuriating to this community, as it should be.

00:05:16.000 President Trump offers a message of success, of prosperity, of safety, of security.

00:05:22.000 And that's why you see African Americans by a historic margin, particularly black men voting for President Trump.

00:05:29.000 We're going to continue to push this message of safety, security, and prosperity to these voters.

00:05:35.000 We're very excited about our new team at the RNC, the new leadership.

00:05:39.000 We are actively working to build out coalitions and also partner with third party groups on the ground in Battleground States.

00:05:46.000 The president will be traveling to Michigan and Wisconsin tomorrow, and you'll hear him talk about the fact that Americans in these inner cities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Detroit, Michigan are being put last by Joe Biden.

00:05:58.000 Joe Biden does not care about them.

00:06:00.000 President Trump does.

00:06:01.000 And that's why he's running to make this country great again for all Americans.

00:06:05.000 You know, I think that's really important.

00:06:07.000 And, you know, the president is going to really be going after that blue wall.

00:06:11.000 The president has to win one out of three of the blue wall states.

00:06:14.000 And we believe in addition to Arizona and Georgia.

00:06:17.000 I want to continue.

00:06:18.000 I'm going to subject you to listen to more of CNN here.

00:06:20.000 Let's play cut 16.

00:06:22.000 Joe Biden at this point is matching or even slightly exceeding his 2020 number among white voters in virtually all national and swing state polls.

00:06:34.000 And if Biden can, in fact, maintain that support, it kind of flips the central issue in this campaign.

00:06:42.000 I think it really becomes whether Donald Trump all the way through November can defend these beachheads in black and Hispanic communities while running on such a racially polarizing agenda with ideas like mass deportation, internment camps, unilateral military action against Mexico, ending diversity and inclusion efforts, and pardoning the white supremacists who attack the Capitol.

00:07:04.000 So I don't need you to respond to all of that, but the point that he's making, though, is that certain white voters, specifically suburban white women, we have to do some work there.

00:07:13.000 What is the plan?

00:07:14.000 What is the message to them, Carolyn?

00:07:16.000 Yeah, well, first of all, half of what he said about President Trump's agenda is false.

00:07:20.000 I know you know that, Charlie.

00:07:21.000 So I won't even get that.

00:07:22.000 Don't even spend time on that.

00:07:23.000 Yeah.

00:07:24.000 It's not even worth it.

00:07:25.000 No, but on the Hispanic American point, I do want to say that President Trump is running away with this demographic.

00:07:31.000 And it's because they actually like his agenda on immigration.

00:07:35.000 They actually like the fact that because they themselves came here legally the right way, paid their dues, waited their turn.

00:07:42.000 They don't want to see a massive invasion of millions of people in their communities, especially in border states.

00:07:49.000 You look at Texas, Arizona.

00:07:51.000 There's my Hispanic American business owners and ranchers and farmers whose communities are being decimated by this illegal invasion. 0.96

00:07:58.000 And they like President Trump's message of strength and of securing our southern border.

00:08:02.000 That's not offensive to them.

00:08:03.000 The liberal media is so wrong to say that.

00:08:06.000 As for women, we know that the two issues at top of mind for women in this country right now are immigration and crime.

00:08:14.000 And you look at the case of Lake and Riley in Georgia.

00:08:17.000 As a young woman, I can say it myself.

00:08:19.000 That is every woman's worst nightmare to go out for your morning jog and to lose your life brutally at the hands of an illegal person who should have never been here in the first place.

00:08:29.000 And the fact that that illegal criminal was arrested five months prior and then released back onto the streets is all the more scary.

00:08:37.000 And we see this in case after case.

00:08:39.000 Ruby Garcia, a beautiful woman in her 20s, was also just killed at the hands of an illegal migrant in the state of Michigan.

00:08:46.000 President Trump will also be calling attention to that tomorrow because these are horrible, horrific tragedies that are entirely preventable.

00:08:54.000 If Joe Biden and the Democrats actually enforced our nation's laws, actually secured the southern border, then women would be protected and safe in this country as they were a few years ago under President Trump.

00:09:06.000 And so at the end of the day, when women are faced with a binary choice on November the 5th between a president who allows illegal criminals back into their communities after committing heinous crimes like rape and sexual assault and murder versus President Trump, who will deport illegal criminals, who will arrest bad people in our neighborhoods, and who will support our local law enforcement that make communities safer for women and their children.

00:09:30.000 That's a choice that mothers, especially in suburban communities will make, and they will vote on the side of safety for their families.

00:09:38.000 Final thought here, Caroline, how can people follow you on social media and what else can we expect?

00:09:42.000 The campaign's really heating up.

00:09:44.000 Tell us more.

00:09:45.000 It sure is.

00:09:45.000 The president will be traveling to all of the battleground states.

00:09:48.000 Like I said, Michigan and Wisconsin tomorrow.

00:09:51.000 We're very excited to return to the Rust Belt.

00:09:53.000 Unfortunately, he'll be having to deal with the legal witch hunts in a couple of weeks, but the Democrats have picked the wrong guy to mess with.

00:09:59.000 He will still be flying all around the country, engaging in in-person and virtual events, using the power of social media to get his message out there.

00:10:07.000 Of course, everyone follows him on TrueSocial.

00:10:09.000 You can also follow me at KLEVITNH and follow our team too, Trump Warroom.

00:10:14.000 Our guys are always pushing out great content.

00:10:16.000 And we appreciate you, Charlie.

00:10:17.000 Thanks for what you're doing.

00:10:19.000 The game is really heating up right now and we're all in.

00:10:21.000 So excited for that, Caroline.

00:10:23.000 And understand the whole Alvin Bragg thing.

00:10:26.000 They want to try to lock him down with a whole Moscow show trial.

00:10:29.000 So Caroline, keep it up.

00:10:30.000 Thank you.

00:10:31.000 Thank you.

00:10:35.000 Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?

00:10:37.000 I understand.

00:10:37.000 I was right where you are two years ago.

00:10:39.000 Let me tell you why I chose the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition Program.

00:10:42.000 First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.

00:10:46.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:10:49.000 Second, the PhD program starts nutrition.

00:10:51.000 There's so much more.

00:10:52.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.

00:10:58.000 There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.

00:11:02.000 And finally, probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.

00:11:05.000 Look, they're amazing.

00:11:05.000 If you want to lose weight, you've got to go to myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:08.000 I was just texting with Dr. Ashley Lucas today.

00:11:10.000 If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.

00:11:15.000 Go online at myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:17.000 Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and call today, 864-644-1900.

00:11:23.000 I recommend their program.

00:11:24.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.

00:11:28.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:11:31.000 Second, the PhD program starts nutrition, but it's so much more.

00:11:34.000 Go to myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com, call 864-644-1900.

00:11:41.000 I lost over 30 pounds.

00:11:42.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American.

00:11:43.000 Check it out, myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:48.000 I'm actually somewhat thankful that the polls are tightening.

00:11:52.000 I know that might sound like an unusual take, but this idea that Donald Trump was up five, six, seven points, and that was going to materialize into the final vote count, it's never been rooted in reality.

00:12:02.000 Now, should Donald Trump win by 10 points?

00:12:05.000 Yes, he should.

00:12:06.000 If our elections were secure and we did elections the way that they occurred a decade ago, and the American people were given a fair and honest hearing of how things are going in the country, Donald Trump should win by 10 to 15 points.

00:12:22.000 However, that is not the situation that we are in.

00:12:25.000 We are in a new game, a brave new world of who can chase the most piece of paper in a short period of time.

00:12:34.000 This whole idea that Trump is going to win by 10 or 15 points in the battleground states, we have to dismiss that completely.

00:12:40.000 In fact, I received several emails last night, one in particular, said, Charlie, my goodness, I'm looking at real clear politics.

00:12:46.000 Is it true that Donald Trump and Joe Biden are close?

00:12:48.000 I thought this was going to be a landslide.

00:12:49.000 I say, whoa, you thought it was going to be a landslide?

00:12:53.000 You got to listen to this program.

00:12:56.000 Get this whole red wave landslide, 100 seats for 100 years.

00:13:01.000 Get all of that out of your head.

00:13:03.000 We're going to go to work.

00:13:05.000 This is going to come down to a couple hundred votes in a couple counties across the country.

00:13:11.000 As we have been bragging on this program, we have seen this ahead.

00:13:16.000 And again, we're not trying to say this pridefully, but we are rather thankful and rather pleased with what the team has done.

00:13:25.000 Because in addition to everything we have done with our Turning Point USA High School program, Turning Point College Program, Blexit, Turning Point Academy, TPUSA Media, our Campus Stops, TPUSA Faith, our Pastors Training, AmericaFest, Young Women's Leadership Summit, our Believers Summit, our podcast, our interviews, traveling the country, having to raise all the capital to do all those different things, having the largest grassroots organization in the country, not even close.

00:13:49.000 No organization comes even close.

00:13:52.000 We said we also need to try to build up and stand up a political operation to chase low-propensity ballots in the states that matter.

00:14:00.000 While everyone was worried and distracted about the primary, for those that listen to this program closely, know that we have been on this repeatedly, almost to an extent where you could finish my sentences, where I said, we are going to hire a bunch of low-propensity, full-time people to chase low-propensity ballots.

00:14:16.000 Remember, we said this is why we are critical of Ron DeSantis running $130 million.

00:14:20.000 We were critical of this long primary, Nikki Haley.

00:14:22.000 That money should have been spent on the plumbing, the grassroots, the machinery of the elections.

00:14:29.000 We're doing our best.

00:14:30.000 Federalists.com, great article here.

00:14:33.000 Can this chase the vote initiative beat Democrats' election machine?

00:14:40.000 Turning Point Action held its first series of trainings for hired activists to chase Republican favorable ballots in the lead up to the 2024 election.

00:14:50.000 Quote, it's not lost on conservatives that Democrats have mastered the art of modern-day electioneering.

00:14:54.000 Through the use of left-wing voter registration groups, bankrolled by wealthy Democrat donors and highly sophisticated ballot chasing operations, Democrats have crafted a state-of-the-art machine designed to accrue their candidates an advantage over Republicans on election day.

00:15:08.000 Now, currently we are trending to get this to be a $25 or $30 million project.

00:15:12.000 It should be a $100 million project.

00:15:15.000 The Democrats are going to spend $300 to $400 million on this project.

00:15:19.000 And I'm working my tail off in addition to hosting this program and managing all the other programming they have at Turning Point to try to hire up, scale up.

00:15:27.000 We need to try and hire at least another 750 to 1,000 people.

00:15:32.000 Now, that's probably not going to happen.

00:15:34.000 So we're going to try our best to get it close and try to win.

00:15:37.000 Forming relationships with voters is a big facet of Turning Point Action's ballot chasing strategy.

00:15:43.000 Turning Point Action have identified 286,000 low-propensity Republican voters in Arizona, 542,000 in Wisconsin.

00:15:53.000 Turning Point Action's goal is to have at least 600 ballot chasers, hundreds between these two states, trained and deployed prior to the 2024 election.

00:16:02.000 Talks about how we have streamlined a mobile application so chasers can download on their phones to allow them to access the comprehensive data analyzed and produced by Turning Point Action and our team.

00:16:13.000 Chasers are expected to file weekly reports, which includes connecting to the software to track their status of low-propensity Republicans in their wards and precincts as they engage with them.

00:16:23.000 The status of these voters are characterized as uncontacted all the way to cast ballot in general election.

00:16:29.000 This is a sophisticated early ballot chasing operation that nobody has ever done before.

00:16:34.000 Again, it should be about five or six times bigger.

00:16:37.000 And it is scaling and hopefully scaling and scaling.

00:16:41.000 We're going to be outspent 10 to 1, but I'm very thankful and I'm pleased with the progress that Turning Point Action and our grassroots gritty team have put together to try and bring us to victory in 2024.

00:16:54.000 It very well could be part of what decides the entire election.

00:16:59.000 No guarantees, we're up against a lot, but we're doing our part.

00:17:03.000 I wish other groups would do the same.

00:17:07.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:08.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:17:10.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.

00:17:14.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:17:17.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:17:22.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.

00:17:28.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:17:33.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:17:36.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:17:39.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:17:45.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:17:49.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:17:52.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:17:54.000 Or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:17:57.000 That is charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.

00:18:00.000 Also, save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:18:02.000 I'm a donor of this organization.

00:18:04.000 They're terrific.

00:18:04.000 Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.

00:18:09.000 Joining us now is Terry Schilling.

00:18:11.000 Terry does an amazing job.

00:18:14.000 Terry, welcome to the program.

00:18:16.000 And I want to make sure our organization is everyone's familiar with the organization.

00:18:20.000 What's the website again, Americans Principal Project?

00:18:22.000 Yep, it's AmericanPrinciplesProject.org.

00:18:24.000 And thanks so much for having me, Charlie.

00:18:26.000 So Terry, we've been kind of playing around the election coming up here.

00:18:30.000 And it seems as if Hispanics are moving Trump's way, blacks are moving Trump's way, young people are moving Trump's way, but suburban white females and some of their husbands are actually less in favor of the conservative agenda than ever before.

00:18:45.000 What's going on with this group?

00:18:47.000 Well, listen, we've done a ton of focus groups on this.

00:18:51.000 We actually, just last year, we did 12 of them across the core four swing states, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina.

00:18:58.000 Those are the states that we need to win.

00:19:00.000 And we sat down with suburban women in all four of them. 1.00

00:19:02.000 And Charlie, let me tell you, the suburban women are basically socialists and left-wingers on almost every single issue. 1.00

00:19:10.000 I think a lot of it has to do with the primetime, daytime, TV shows, all of that garbage.

00:19:17.000 But there's one glimmering ounce of hope that we have, and that is in reasonable abortion restrictions.

00:19:24.000 They don't like late-term abortion at all.

00:19:27.000 But the other big opportunity is protecting kids from all this transgender nonsense and protecting girls' sports. 1.00

00:19:34.000 Based on what we found, we think we can hedge the losses among suburban women using these issues.

00:19:40.000 So when you say they're basically socialists, they don't know it, but is that on taxing, spending, size and scope of government?

00:19:47.000 Any opening or vectors with suburban women when it comes to crime, when it comes to illegals or immigration? 0.99

00:19:54.000 Well, I think there could be an opening right now with illegal immigration, but the problem with suburban women is that when they hear crime, they think of mass shootings, they think of guns, and they want to take away our gun rights. 1.00

00:20:07.000 But yeah, no, when it comes to taxes and government spending, they don't care about a balanced budget. 1.00

00:20:12.000 They don't care if you tax rich people more.

00:20:14.000 They actually want to tax rich people more and businesses more.

00:20:18.000 But the glimmer, you know, the ounces of freedom and opportunity that we have here are they hate the idea of kids getting sex changes. 0.54

00:20:27.000 And one thing that kept coming up was, well, if they can wait until they're 18 to get a tattoo, they sure as heck better wait until they're 18 to get a sex change.

00:20:35.000 But then they also, they don't like late-term abortions, right?

00:20:38.000 When you start talking about after the baby can kick essentially 15, 20, 30 weeks, ninth month, they are very uncomfortable with that and they don't like talking about it.

00:20:49.000 And so if we focus on those areas, I don't think we can win suburban women.

00:20:54.000 That's a tall drink of water, but we can cut our losses to a winnable amount of the overall electorate.

00:21:02.000 So let me play this piece of tape here. 1.00

00:21:04.000 So you would say that this message, this resonates with a lot of suburban women.

00:21:08.000 Suburban women are very, we want to love all people.

00:21:11.000 You know, they're not necessarily very worried about the decline of the country.

00:21:14.000 This is the spokeswoman for many of the suburban women, that kind of brigade, which is, you know, soft, touchy, feely. 0.91

00:21:21.000 I'm going to raid your home if you don't use the correct pronoun, which is the wicked witch of the west, Governor Whitmer. 0.99

00:21:27.000 Play cut 12. 0.96

00:21:28.000 On trans state visibility, my message is simple.

00:21:30.000 I see you and I've got your back.

00:21:32.000 There's nothing more American than living your life the way you want to live it.

00:21:37.000 And that's what today is all about.

00:21:39.000 It's about embracing who you are and being proud of it.

00:21:42.000 We will continue fighting for visibility and equality because that's what we believe.

00:21:47.000 And you should have the freedom to be who you are and be loved for it, no matter what.

00:21:51.000 I got your back.

00:21:53.000 So all in on the transing of kids, chopping off their private parts. 1.00

00:21:56.000 Terry, shilling, your reaction.

00:21:58.000 Yeah, no, they notice, Charlie, they only talk about the nice fluffy things.

00:22:02.000 Oh, we don't want to discriminate.

00:22:04.000 We don't want to keep people from being themselves.

00:22:06.000 Well, when you start showing these suburban moms what their kids are learning in school or talking to them about what's happening to kids with the transgender industrial complex where they're chopping their body parts up for $140,000, that's what it costs on average, male or female, to get a sex change procedure all the way through. 0.99

00:22:24.000 When you start going into the nitty-gritty and actually the negatives of those fluffy, duffy things, the suburban women start to turn. 0.97

00:22:31.000 And again, I just want to reiterate, it is a tall glass of water to win over suburban women, but we can cut our losses by using these other issues where the left is just most culturally incompetent.

00:22:43.000 Parental rights and education is a really good one. 0.98

00:22:46.000 Glenn Young can use that in Virginia to win over a lot of Democrat Biden voters here.

00:22:50.000 And I think that's a key here too.

00:22:52.000 So, but what changed? 1.00

00:22:53.000 A decade ago, suburban women used to be tilt Republican and now they're insanely left-wing. 1.00

00:22:58.000 What was the reason for that change? 1.00

00:23:00.000 What was the catalyst?

00:23:02.000 Well, first of all, Charlie, outlets like yours and Bannon's War Room, those are so important for us to get our message out.

00:23:08.000 But I think the biggest shift in America since then has been the full-fledged weaponization of the mainstream media, right?

00:23:15.000 When I was growing up, when I was in high school, first election I voted in was 2004 with George W. Bush.

00:23:20.000 There was still, it was a 60-40 breakdown.

00:23:23.000 Now it's 90-10, right?

00:23:25.000 And it's not just, oh, we're Democrats and we vote Democrat. 1.00

00:23:28.000 is Donald Trump is a literal white supremacist KKK in the closet racist that wants to kill everyone. 1.00

00:23:37.000 It's just nonstop propaganda from the mainstream media. 0.99

00:23:41.000 And I think that is the biggest reason why suburban women have been so shifted to the left.

00:23:48.000 So let's talk about the abortion issue, the abortion topic.

00:23:51.000 You're saying they are against late-term abortion.

00:23:54.000 Is that correct?

00:23:56.000 And but they want moderate restrictions.

00:24:00.000 So what does that mean then?

00:24:02.000 What should Donald Trump run on in regards to this topic? 0.82

00:24:06.000 Because the Democrats are going to try to play offense on it.

00:24:09.000 Well, the number one thing that Donald Trump has to do is he has to endorse something along the lines of a 15 to 20 week abortion ban with exceptions.

00:24:18.000 And Charlie, you know, where I stand on this.

00:24:20.000 I'm probably the most pro-life guy you'll meet in a very long time.

00:24:26.000 Yeah, we just had number seven.

00:24:29.000 Tucker Charles.

00:24:29.000 We named him after you and Tucker Carlson.

00:24:31.000 Oh, I love that.

00:24:33.000 I'm very honored.

00:24:36.000 But listen, sorry.

00:24:39.000 Yeah, we have to do a 20 to 15 week abortion ban with exceptions, right?

00:24:43.000 And that allows Donald Trump and the rest of the Republicans to go on offense to really talk about the humane of the child.

00:24:50.000 The abortion issue can really cut both ways.

00:24:52.000 Women, you know, they're the ones that feel the baby kick. 0.96

00:24:55.000 They know how far along in a pregnancy 15 and 20 weeks is, and they don't really have a lot of sympathy after that, right?

00:25:03.000 Most of the suburban women will tell you, well, you should have got your abortion within the first couple of months, but after that, it's really a baby. 0.50

00:25:09.000 You and I know the truth that it's always a baby.

00:25:12.000 But you have to talk about the humane of the child and going towards the more late-term abortion restrictions.

00:25:17.000 And it's not really a restriction.

00:25:18.000 It's a limit, right?

00:25:19.000 It's not, they call it a ban.

00:25:21.000 It's a limit.

00:25:21.000 We're limiting abortion to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

00:25:24.000 And by the way, we're giving you exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.

00:25:28.000 No reasonable person can be against that. 1.00

00:25:31.000 And most suburban women like to pride themselves on being reasonable.

00:25:35.000 So in closing, if Trump just said leave it to the states, how would that possibly work?

00:25:41.000 Well, what would happen is they would still accuse him of the most radical abortion restrictions at the state level, right?

00:25:47.000 So they would go, they would point to Arkansas that has basically no abortions allowed in the state.

00:25:51.000 And they'd say, well, this is because of Donald Trump overturning Roe.

00:25:55.000 And so by leaving it to the states, you're not doing anything to protect the babies in California and Illinois and New York.

00:26:02.000 What this is also, I mean, the main thrust of this, Charlie, is to solve the political crisis around abortion.

00:26:08.000 We have to start winning again.

00:26:09.000 We have to go on offense. 0.89

00:26:10.000 And a 15-week national abortion limit would allow Donald Trump to punch Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats end up going with in the teeth left and right and really show the American people the humanity of the unborn child.

00:26:26.000 Talk about some of the plans you guys have to fix this problem, an American Principles Project.

00:26:30.000 You have a lot of ads you're doing, a lot of polling that you're going to be releasing.

00:26:32.000 Tell us about it.

00:26:33.000 Yeah.

00:26:33.000 Well, Charlie, thank goodness for you guys focusing so much on the turnout and everything like that.

00:26:38.000 APP, we focus on the persuasion.

00:26:40.000 So all those people in the mushy middle, we do, we spent almost seven figures in message testing and development.

00:26:47.000 That's the focus groups, consumer research panels and polling. 0.56

00:26:49.000 And it's all around protecting our kids from this god-awful transgender industry that's just mutilating them and their brains and their bodies. 1.00

00:26:58.000 And we're also going to be empowering parents through parental rights. 0.98

00:27:01.000 We're running campaign ads.

00:27:02.000 We've got detransitioners in our campaign ads. 1.00

00:27:05.000 Riley Gaines has cut several campaign ads for us, all just attacking Democrats for how radical and extreme they are when it comes to protecting our families and our children.

00:27:14.000 Great work.

00:27:15.000 Terry, thank you so much.

00:27:16.000 Appreciate it.

00:27:16.000 Thank you.

00:27:17.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:27:18.000 If we're serious about expanding the coalition, we have to understand that Democrats are going to go all in on these social issues.

00:27:27.000 They're going to go all in.

00:27:28.000 They're going to go all in on abortion access.

00:27:30.000 I mean, I live here in Arizona.

00:27:32.000 The amount of money Democrats have is amazing.

00:27:34.000 They are non-stop running ads for Ruben Gallego.

00:27:37.000 I've not seen a single Kerry Lake ad.

00:27:39.000 We got to get that fixed.

00:27:40.000 There's not a single Kerry Lake ad.

00:27:42.000 It's Kerry Lake v. Gallego.

00:27:43.000 There's no cinema anymore.

00:27:44.000 And if you didn't know, by the way, this guy's an outright communist. 0.57

00:27:47.000 He's a bad guy.

00:27:48.000 He's an open border zealot, Ruben Gallego.

00:27:50.000 He's running for the Senate here.

00:27:51.000 And it's a very, very winnable Senate race.

00:27:53.000 He says, I fought in one of the heart, you know, most dangerous parts of Iraq.

00:27:56.000 Okay, I'm sure that's true.

00:27:56.000 He says, I'm going to protect abortion access and I'm going to find middle-of-the-road solutions.

00:28:00.000 They propagandize the voters of Arizona.

00:28:02.000 Mark Kelly did this.

00:28:03.000 Cinema did this.

00:28:04.000 And then they go and they cox the Democrats and they destroy the state.

00:28:08.000 The playbook for the Democrats is super simple.

00:28:09.000 Raise a bunch of money from the oligarchy, chase ballots around fringe issues, and then run non-stop propaganda-based advertisement to make us seem you're a moderate when you really aren't.

00:28:21.000 And they rinse and repeat that playbook in state after state after state after state.

00:28:28.000 For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.

00:28:34.000 For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.

00:28:43.000 They have an online publication called The Lion, and also Making the Leap.

00:28:46.000 The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.

00:28:54.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.

00:28:58.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirk show are brought to you in part by the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation.

00:29:02.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.

00:29:07.000 Lots of stories still to cover here.

00:29:09.000 And I want to read this one: yahoo.com.

00:29:14.000 I visit.

00:29:14.000 Yahoo's a pretty good aggregator.

00:29:15.000 You know, I go to Citizen Free Press.

00:29:17.000 I enjoy the aggregators.

00:29:18.000 This right here, I got to tell you, I'm going to expand on what Terry's saying.

00:29:22.000 I really believe that there's something primal about mass immigration.

00:29:29.000 It doesn't take a lot of explanation.

00:29:31.000 People know that it is wrong.

00:29:33.000 In fact, there's a clip going viral of a rather heated exchange.

00:29:36.000 I probably got more heated than I should have, but it was okay with this young lady who was basically saying, you know, my father came here illegally and he's a great American.

00:29:43.000 I said, he wasn't invited here.

00:29:45.000 Like, cut it out.

00:29:47.000 Why Trump's alarmist message on immigration may be resonating beyond his base.

00:29:53.000 Mass immigration and cheap money. 0.98

00:29:55.000 Mass immigration and cheap money create a prerequisite for populism.

00:30:02.000 Mass immigration and cheap money creates massive disruption. 0.99

00:30:10.000 Trump has ramped up his anti-immigration rhetoric as he seeks the White House for a third time, casting migrants as dangerous criminals, poisoning the blood of America, hitting the nation's deepest fault lines of race and national identity.

00:30:23.000 His messaging often relies on falsehoods about immigration.

00:30:26.000 What falsehood exactly?

00:30:28.000 Not a single one of these individuals should be in the country.

00:30:31.000 If you invade a country, you shouldn't be in the country. 0.91

00:30:36.000 It's that simple.

00:30:37.000 Immigration is a political winner for Republicans and not the Karl Rove thing where we're going to do mass amnesty.

00:30:45.000 Believe it or not, it is Hispanics that want a border wall. 1.00

00:30:49.000 It is Hispanics that want strong immigration.

00:30:55.000 A recent poll Pew Research poll found that 45% of Americans described the situation as a border crisis.

00:31:02.000 32% said it was a major problem.

00:31:05.000 So let's get to this.

00:31:06.000 This is 75 plus percent, 77% of the country that believes that there is a major problem on the southern border.

00:31:16.000 And Joe Biden is doing nothing to fix it.

00:31:18.000 Donald Trump needs to run right in on immigration, the trans issue, crime, and of course, economy.

00:31:25.000 The immigration issue will win him Georgia and Arizona alone, alone.

00:31:28.000 Arizona in particular.

00:31:30.000 If I was President Trump, I would be going down to the southern border in Arizona once a month now to the election.

00:31:36.000 Different port of entry every single month.

00:31:40.000 Crime is up in Scottsdale.

00:31:41.000 Crime is up in Phoenix.

00:31:43.000 President Trump needs to do a series of these town halls, these listening sessions, where he has Chloe Cole, Dr. Miriam Grossman, Abigre Schreiel, Schreier, all about the trans cult. 0.99

00:31:54.000 Make them defend the trans issue. 0.77

00:31:57.000 I believe the trans issue is the counter to abortion.

00:32:02.000 They're going to run abortion access, abortion access, abortion access.

00:32:05.000 They are opening the door for us.

00:32:07.000 We need to say that 14-year-olds should not get puberty blockers.

00:32:10.000 Hard stop.

00:32:11.000 It is an indefensible position.

00:32:12.000 Indefensible position.

00:32:14.000 Nearly two-thirds of Americans now disapprove of how Biden is handling the border, including four in 10 Democrats.

00:32:22.000 Here is the kicker: 55% of blacks disapprove of Biden's handling of the border, and 73% of Hispanics.

00:32:33.000 For years, we've been told by the moderate Chamber of Commerce Republicans, we've been told avoid the immigration issue. 0.99

00:32:39.000 It's a loser. 0.70

00:32:41.000 This is the winning issue. 0.97

00:32:44.000 And it's not going to get better for Joe Biden.

00:32:48.000 73% of Hispanic adults, 73%.

00:32:56.000 According to Victor Davis Hansen, Obador, who's the president of Mexico, is blackmailing the United States if it's going to cooperate with tougher immigration enforcement.

00:33:06.000 Obador says the U.S. must now send $20 billion in de facto bribery payments to Latin American nations.

00:33:11.000 President Trump could end this thing in a minute.

00:33:13.000 You become president, your first phone call, Obador, 10% tariff is coming your way tomorrow morning or else you secure the border.

00:33:18.000 Thanks so much.

00:33:19.000 Adios Vaya Cundios.

00:33:20.000 Boom.

00:33:20.000 Done.

00:33:21.000 You tell Mexico what to do. 0.99

00:33:22.000 You don't take orders from Mexico.

00:33:23.000 They're not a partner in all this.

00:33:25.000 You tell Mexico what to do. 0.99

00:33:28.000 Asked what would happen if the U.S. were to refuse Mexico's blackmail threats.

00:33:31.000 Obador continues, said, the flow of migrants will continue.

00:33:34.000 We are being held hostage by a second world country. 1.00

00:33:38.000 We need a new president.

00:33:39.000 You end this thing in an afternoon.
