00:00:27.000 Hey everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:30.000 This is producer Andrew filling in for Charlie Kirk.
00:00:33.000 Always honored to be able to do that.
00:00:34.000 We have a lot to go over, including creepy Cuomo hanging on to power, defiant in the face of prestigious Democrats calling for his resignation or impeachment, and yet he's clinging on still more news out of California.
00:00:49.000 The recall of Gavin Newsom marches on.
00:00:52.000 Things are looking up for our friend Larry Elder, and I have the information as to why a really important trend happening in the electorate in the United States is playing out front and center in California.
00:01:03.000 Guys, buckle up.
00:01:05.000 Here we go.
00:01:06.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:08.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:01:10.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:13.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:16.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:18.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:19.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:26.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:27.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:36.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:38.000 A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?
00:01:42.000 The answer is not from school.
00:01:45.000 As many of you know, I did not go to formal college.
00:01:47.000 Actually, I didn't go to college at all.
00:01:50.000 So my education has been a process.
00:01:54.000 I've always been committed to learning and diving deep into ideas.
00:01:58.000 And one source of truth and knowledge has been the greatest partner in that pursuit of learning.
00:02:06.000 And that is Hillsdale College.

00:04:45.000 Charlie FORHILSDALE.com.
00:04:48.000 Phenomenal partners.
00:04:49.000 Please check it out right now.
00:04:53.000 There is a lot going on, especially in the New York area.
00:04:57.000 We mentioned yesterday that New York had somehow managed to become the center of the world once again.
00:05:04.000 It feels like the once great city of New York, which is still a great city.
00:05:07.000 We love New York.
00:05:08.000 We love spending time there.
00:05:09.000 But it's crime-riddled.
00:05:11.000 It's dirty from everything that we've heard.
00:05:13.000 It's going through some rough days.
00:05:14.000 De Blasio has been a disaster.
00:05:16.000 I'm broadcasting from California, which has had similar issues, and it is a shadow of its once great self.
00:05:26.000 Nevertheless, it seems like the themes of today is that Cuomo is somehow clinging to life barely after a slew of top Democrat officials have come out against him,
00:05:43.000 calling for his resignation, which is a fairly dramatic turn of events for the once darling of the Democrat Party, the man that they lifted up, they being the media establishment, the left, lifted up as the counterweight to President Trump.
00:06:03.000 He has fallen in a spectacular fashion.
00:06:07.000 The New Yorker, this is the New Yorker's headline.
00:06:12.000 How on earth does Cuomo survive this?
00:06:14.000 The sexual harassment report wasn't a bombshell.
00:06:17.000 It was a nuclear blast.
00:06:20.000 And yet, which is tremendous, which is a tremendous thing for the New Yorker to say.
00:06:24.000 I mean, he has become, and may this be a lesson to all of you out there, from sea to shining sea and everywhere in between, the blessed flyover country, that when you become expendable in politics, do not be surprised when your friends turn on you.
00:06:44.000 And I use friends with air quotes.
00:06:47.000 I use it almost ironically.
00:06:48.000 The New Yorker continues.
00:06:51.000 So many shoes have dropped in the Andro Cuomo sexual harassment saga that the governor could open a floor shine outlet on I-90.
00:07:00.000 And each time, as each allegation piled up and each Democrat official called on him to resign, dozens of members of the state legislature, state Senate majority leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, most of the state's congressional delegation, U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor Bill de Blasio.
00:07:20.000 It surely seemed like the end of Cuomo's long reign.
00:07:24.000 And yet it wasn't.
00:07:26.000 So what, how is so, so this is the lesson.
00:07:29.000 We see this from Governor Ralph Nol in Virginia.
00:07:35.000 When a scandal so big hits you like a tidal wave and you're a Democrat, what do you do?
00:07:42.000 Do you resign?
00:07:45.000 Of course not.
00:07:46.000 Even when they call for you to resign, you don't resign.
00:07:50.000 You just hunker down, you punt, you issue a series of embarrassing saying that this is not the way that it actually was.
00:08:00.000 This is not what happened.
00:08:02.000 These facts are being misrepresented.
00:08:04.000 And then you ask for the Attorney General Letitia James to look into the allegations, standing with whatever remaining elected officials will stand next to you.
00:08:13.000 And you said, we will get through this.
00:08:16.000 I am being misrepresented by the media and by these accusers.
00:08:22.000 Governor Ralph Northam's instance, you just say, well, I don't know if I were blackface or the KKK hood.
00:08:29.000 So this interesting dynamic where the Democrat Party has lost its utility with the good governor from New York.
00:08:40.000 And so he is now expendable and they are throwing him overboard.
00:08:44.000 But he is fighting for his political life and he's not going to give in overnight.
00:08:50.000 So what happened in Virginia?
00:08:52.000 We saw that in Virginia, it didn't really matter.
00:08:55.000 The governor is still the governor of Virginia.
00:08:57.000 And guess what?
00:08:58.000 That gives Cuomo every single piece of evidence he needs to suggest that he will survive this if only he sticks to the script and waits it out.
00:09:11.000 Because guess what?
00:09:12.000 The media cycle will continue spinning.
00:09:15.000 He will inevitably become second on the news feed and then third and then fourth.
00:09:24.000 And then he'll be on page A17 of the New York Times and nobody will be talking about it anymore.
00:09:29.000 All it's going to take is one international big story or another national tragedy, God forbid, and he'll survive.
00:09:39.000 That's the way this works, folks.
00:09:42.000 So what we are seeing is a massive, massive dynamic playing out that has been playing out really for the last four or five years, and that is Democrat privilege.
00:09:53.000 If you are a Democrat and you commit the most heinous of acts, and let's be honest, sexual assault is not limited, sexual harassment is not limited to the Democrat Party.
00:10:07.000 But it doesn't matter what you do.
00:10:09.000 You will be allowed to survive if you have Democrat privilege.
00:10:15.000 If the shoe was on the other foot, can you just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot?
00:10:20.000 A Republican would have been forced out of office by the end of the day.
00:10:24.000 That would have been completely the case.
00:10:27.000 The Republican would have been forced out of office, and that is everything you need to know about the way that the system works and why Americans are losing their faith in the institutions that we so long have trusted and believed in.
00:10:42.000 Now, how this story is connected to the larger media narrative is truly, I think it's really profound.
00:10:50.000 So you might think that this Governor Cuomo story is just sort of an isolated case over here.
00:10:56.000 But what it actually is indicative of is this larger distrust, this movement of distrust against our institutions, where not just conservatives, but independents, free thinkers, immigrants, minority groups are losing trust in the institutions that have governed and guided us for generations.
00:11:21.000 Why?
00:11:21.000 Because we find them to be corrupt.
00:11:24.000 We find them to be lacking in accountability.
00:11:27.000 And we find them to be utterly incapable of holding each other accountable.
00:11:33.000 And this is the instance that we'll see with Governor Cuomo.
00:11:36.000 Will it actually, will something actually come out of this?
00:11:39.000 He's, you know, even Joe Biden has called for his resignation.
00:11:44.000 We said Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer.
00:11:47.000 Now they're saying that it was a Morris did a smash poll overnight.
00:11:53.000 Six in 10 New Yorkers prefer that he would resign.
00:11:59.000 So what's going to happen?
00:12:00.000 I actually have to confess here.
00:12:03.000 I don't care about this story.
00:12:07.000 I don't care about it.
00:12:08.000 Now, I'm not saying that I don't care about the victims and what happened.
00:12:13.000 What I'm simply suggesting is that Governor Cuomo should have been removed for his COVID policies, which killed thousands, especially in senior of senior citizens through negligent policymaking.
00:12:33.000 And by the way, this exposes another thing that Governor Cuomo has been guilty of.
00:12:38.000 He tried to cover up what he did to senior citizens.
00:12:42.000 And then secondly, what we've seen in the sexual harassment scandal is he tried to cover up and besmirch his accusers.
00:12:52.000 This is an embarrassing scandal.
00:12:55.000 It's also incredibly creepy and troubling that the governor of one of the largest, most influential states in the country has behaved so poorly.
00:13:06.000 And yet he had his friends in the media, like his brother, defending every move, consulting, helping, giving him cover fire on the nightly news, and lifting him up as some darling that was going to save the nation from the great Donald Trump.
00:13:22.000 It's very dishonest.
00:13:23.000 It's very creepy, and it's disappointing, but not surprising.
00:13:29.000 Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:13:33.000 It says that your activity might be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
00:13:39.000 How can they even call it incognito?
00:13:41.000 To really stop seeing people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use Express VPN.
00:13:48.000 Think about all the times you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' house.
00:13:52.000 Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:13:58.000 And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.

00:14:41.000 The report this morning out of CNN saying that 93% of new COVID cases in the United States, of which they say there's like 80,000 new cases of COVID, they say that 93% is attributed to the death or to the Delta variant of coronavirus.
00:15:04.000 Now, I've seen a lot of people, they've sent me links, they're sending me this, that.
00:15:08.000 They're saying that that's impossible to know because there's no way to test.
00:15:13.000 The PCR test does not know how to distinguish between which variant of COVID you may or may not have.
00:15:21.000 Well, that is true, but I do happen to think that based on modeling and some of the statistics that researchers are using, that it is likely that this new variant is probably the breakthrough variant.
00:15:38.000 So, if Delta had you worried about shutdowns, uh, well, I've got news for you.
00:15:45.000 Now, we've got the Lambda variant, and I've warned about this too, by the way, when I've guested for Charlie.
00:15:51.000 I think this is an epsilon variant that they're observing.
00:15:54.000 Lambda COVID variant behind 1,000 cases in the U.S. shows vaccine resistance.
00:16:00.000 This is from Newsweek.
00:16:01.000 The Lambda variant of COVID-19 may be more resistant to vaccines, and his highly infectious researchers at Japan's University of Tokyo have warned in a new scientific paper published on July 28th.
00:16:13.000 The study had to be peer.
00:16:16.000 So, you know, according to doctors that I know, it's basically, you know, take it with a grain of salt, but it's still interesting as far as the finding goes.
00:16:25.000 Like the Delta variant, Lambda is highly transmissible, but Japanese researchers believe that three mutations in the variant spike protein make it more resistant to antibodies induced by vaccination.
00:16:38.000 So, this was trending on Twitter this morning, and I was like, Lambda, oh gosh, here we go.
00:16:44.000 So, now it's eclipsed a thousand cases, a thousand thirty-seven cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. Again, I don't know how they are testing for this.
00:16:52.000 Likely, if it is at a thousand cases, it's probably much more because the testing for these variants is rather involved.
00:17:01.000 So, this variant was first identified in Peru in August of 2020, where it has now become the dominant strain of the virus, and it has been reported in 29 countries, including the U.S.
00:17:14.000 So, I gave my friend Aaron Ginn a call this morning just to get some intel from him saying, you know what, you know, if they can't test for this stuff, you know, do you believe that 93% is right on the Delta variant?
00:17:28.000 He seems to be convinced that it's probably accurate.
00:17:32.000 Now, you know, whether it is or isn't, his main point, and Aaron Ginn is a guy that wrote about the alarmism, COVID alarmism in May, or is that actually March of 2020?
00:17:49.000 And he wrote it on his Medium page, and they took it down after the thing went viral.
00:17:55.000 And then the Wall Street Journal gave him a platform and let him write about it.
00:18:00.000 But the point he's making to me, and I think it's important to share with all of you, is that Delta does not seem to be increasing the death rates.
00:18:12.000 Okay.
00:18:13.000 So this is what's tremendously important.
00:18:17.000 We're seeing a revival of pandemic porn, as we call it.
00:18:23.000 The hysteria is rising to new heights, as evidenced by a new poll.
00:18:30.000 So this is a new poll that just came out from Yahoo News YouGov.
00:18:35.000 It says majority of Americans favor public mask mandates per new Yahoo News YouGov poll.
00:18:41.000 Now, 55% favor making it mandatory to wear masks in public.
00:18:46.000 45% oppose.
00:18:47.000 Okay, so did you check?
00:18:48.000 55% favor, 45% oppose.
00:18:52.000 Back in June, the public opposed mask mandates 60 to 40.
00:18:58.000 What does that tell you?
00:18:59.000 It tells you that all of this messaging from the White House, from the mainstream news media, has changed public perception in a blink.
00:19:10.000 That's why people like those of us that work on this show, people like you listening, need to be active, need to be passionate, and need to start pushing back with actual facts.
00:19:21.000 And the facts are that Delta, while it's more transmissible, does not appear to be more deadly.
00:19:27.000 We are talking about the Delta variant.
00:19:30.000 We're talking about specifically the alarmism surrounding this.
00:19:35.000 And I want to take you to a Daily Mail article here.
00:19:38.000 It says, Mask-Free Sweden is close to zero daily COVID deaths as the country's chief epidemiologist plays down fears over Deltavarius infectiousness.
00:19:49.000 So here's the bullet points.
00:19:50.000 In the last 14 days, Sweden recorded an average of less than one COVID death per day, 0.6.
00:19:57.000 So they've been averaging 0.6 deaths per day, which compares with 74 deaths in the UK and 329 deaths per day in the U.S. over that same period.
00:20:07.000 And Sweden dropped its last remaining mask rule for public transport on July 1st.
00:20:14.000 Nevertheless, in the UK and the U.S., they're going to be unleashing further mask mandates.
00:20:21.000 The public sentiment has shifted dramatically.
00:20:24.000 So, again, folks, know your facts, know that it may be more infectious, it may be more contagious, but we actually don't really know that as well.
00:20:35.000 But, nevertheless, what we're seeing is that it's not more deadly, at least not significantly so.
00:20:40.000 So, this is from the epidemiologist.
00:20:44.000 Well, I guess he's the lead, what is it?
00:20:49.000 His name is Dr. Technell, and he's the lead epidemiologist in Sweden.
00:20:56.000 He said there's still a lot we don't know about the Delta strain, and that it is wrong to draw any far-reaching conclusions.
00:21:03.000 Now, what is he talking about?
00:21:04.000 He's talking about what we've been doing in the United States, where we've been comparing the Delta virus in terms of contagiousness to that of chickenpox.
00:21:15.000 And Dr. Technell is saying, Hey, wait a second, we know chickenpox really, really well.
00:21:20.000 We've been studying it for years.
00:21:21.000 We know exactly how infectious this is.
00:21:24.000 And by the way, as an aside, when we're talking about chickenpox, there used to be something they call chickenpox parties.
00:21:32.000 One kid would get chickenpox, and all the kids in the neighborhood would come around, they'd play, and they'd get it out of the way, and everybody get chickenpox and move on because you only get it once.
00:21:40.000 Now, they got a vaccination for that.
00:21:42.000 You've got to ask yourself why.
00:21:44.000 Nevertheless, here we are: vaccines for everything mandated, and people are calling it a public good.
00:21:52.000 Now, I want to take you from that to another insight that I think is really interesting.
00:21:59.000 So, again, I was talking to Eric Ginn this morning, trying to make sense of all this because he's a statistician who pays particularly close attention to all this.
00:22:10.000 He's basically saying that this is seasonal.
00:22:13.000 This increase is seasonal.
00:22:14.000 So, track with me here.
00:22:15.000 This is a really important thing to understand.
00:22:18.000 It is seasonal.
00:22:20.000 Now, what do I mean by that?
00:22:21.000 It's the summer.
00:22:22.000 So, my first instinct was like, What are you talking about, Aaron?
00:22:24.000 This is the summertime.
00:22:26.000 It's hot.
00:22:27.000 Seasonality should be in the winter, which it is.
00:22:31.000 But according to Aaron, last summer we saw an increase in the alpha strain, coronavirus, the original coronavirus, right around August.
00:22:42.000 Now, ask yourself why that might be.
00:22:46.000 What happens in the summer months that changes the behavior of the average American?
00:22:52.000 Well, August tends to be, July and then August tends to be the hottest time of the year.
00:23:00.000 So, what happens when it gets really hot?
00:23:03.000 People turn up their AC and they flock indoors.
00:23:09.000 If you've ever been to Phoenix, Arizona, when it's 110 degrees outside and you don't want to be outside, so what do you do?
00:23:16.000 You get inside and they got the AC cranked and it's like freezing inside.
00:23:20.000 You got to put a sweatshirt on.
00:23:21.000 Like, if you go to Turning Point USA headquarters, everybody's got blankets on when they're sitting at their desk because it's so cold inside.
00:23:28.000 Because if you don't have it cranked, you lose it.
00:23:34.000 You lose the AC instantly, and it's tough to get it back.
00:23:37.000 You got to crank the machine extra.
00:23:39.000 So everybody keeps all their indoor spaces really cold.
00:23:42.000 This is true throughout the entire American South.
00:23:45.000 People stay inside a lot more during the summer months because it gets too unbearably hot.
00:23:50.000 They make it really cold and people get sick again.
00:23:53.000 It's actually just sort of a man-made dynamic, which, according to Aaron Ginn, again, give him a follow on Twitter.
00:24:04.000 He's a great follow on Twitter.
00:24:06.000 Very smart guy.
00:24:08.000 We have some disagreements probably on vaccines in general, maybe with Aaron, but very smart guy, A-G-I-N-N-T.
00:24:17.000 That's at A-G-I-N-N-T.
00:24:19.000 I want to give him some attribution there because he's been very good on this.
00:24:23.000 He's come on the podcast before, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:24:27.000 So just remember that there are seasonality elements to coronavirus that are inescapable.
00:24:33.000 Just like it is with the flu, it's going to be with coronavirus.
00:24:37.000 All right.
00:24:38.000 So that's my point, guys.
00:24:41.000 Maybe it's more contagious.
00:24:42.000 Maybe there's a seasonality element to this.
00:24:45.000 Do not give in to the panic.
00:24:47.000 And I just want to play one particularly great clip, and I'll narrate it if I have to.
00:24:52.000 This is clip 58.
00:24:54.000 This is AOC, the AOC photo op.
00:24:58.000 All right.
00:24:59.000 So she wonderfully gets caught.
00:25:01.000 And this has been happening everywhere.
00:25:03.000 You got Muriel Bowser getting caught without mask.
00:25:05.000 Obama was going to throw a party for his 60th birthday party with 700 people.
00:25:11.000 He just canceled that because the backlash and he cited the Delta variant.
00:25:16.000 And then you've got AOC here in this photo op.
00:25:18.000 It looks to be on the steps of the Capitol.
00:25:21.000 She's hanging out with just dozens.
00:25:24.000 I mean, this is maybe hundreds of people just milling about on the steps of the Capitol, just hanging out.
00:25:30.000 And then they want to take a photo.
00:25:31.000 So what does she do?
00:25:32.000 She puts on her masks.
00:25:34.000 That's right.
00:25:34.000 She puts on her masks.
00:25:35.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 58.
00:25:38.000 Let's take a quick photo so we can keep the pressure up so other colleagues can come out here.
00:25:42.000 Yeah?
00:25:44.000 I'm putting it on to the chef ahead.
00:25:47.000 She's got a lot of money.
00:25:48.000 And there she is.
00:25:49.000 She knows it's about to snap the picture.
00:25:51.000 She's putting on the mask.
00:25:53.000 Oh, there you go.
00:25:56.000 Senator Markley from Massachusetts right next to her.
00:25:59.000 And now a minute later, the masks is back off, folks.
00:26:02.000 So she's not afraid of the Delta variant.
00:26:05.000 Why?
00:26:05.000 Because she's 30 years old and she knows she doesn't have to be.
00:26:08.000 Now, back to the vaccine.
00:26:10.000 We are not anti-vax people here.
00:26:12.000 We are pro-freedom and we are anti-mask mandate.
00:26:15.000 Okay?
00:26:16.000 Very, very important distinction.
00:26:18.000 I have all my vaccines besides the COVID.
00:26:20.000 I'm not getting the COVID vaccine.
00:26:21.000 I have already gotten COVID and I have the antibodies because I've donated blood and they tell me that I have the antibodies.
00:26:28.000 But I am not anti-vax.
00:26:30.000 I am anti-vax mandate.
00:26:31.000 It's a very important distinction.
00:26:32.000 Don't let them paint you otherwise.
00:26:35.000 Now, we have a rolling average of how many COVID deaths that we have in the United States.
00:26:44.000 And it looks like, if I can get this cursor from the New York Times.
00:26:48.000 So yesterday we had 668, so it was up.
00:26:51.000 But our seven-day average of COVID deaths, according to the New York Times, is 414.
00:26:58.000 But again, we saw this uptick.
00:27:00.000 And if you look, you can look at this yourself.
00:27:01.000 Just literally Google, and I don't recommend Google very often, but how many people died of COVID yesterday?
00:27:07.000 That was what I typed.
00:27:08.000 The first thing that comes up is the New York Times statistics, new cases, and deaths.
00:27:14.000 If you look in July and August, you see a slight uptick, and then it went down in the fall.
00:27:20.000 And then over December and January, it spiked up.
00:27:23.000 Okay, and that's actually when we had our biggest surge.
00:27:26.000 So what we are experiencing is a seasonal, It's normal for this part of the season because people tend to go inside with too much AC.
00:27:36.000 It's a problem.
00:27:37.000 All right, folks, I'm going to pivot.
00:27:39.000 We've got a few more minutes left in this segment, and I want to pivot to something near and dear to my California heart.
00:27:45.000 Okay.
00:27:46.000 Love you all in New York and all of our listeners on the East Coast.
00:27:51.000 Cuomo is a disaster.
00:27:52.000 We're going to be keeping on that story.
00:27:54.000 You never fear.
00:27:56.000 But I want to turn our attention to the left coast, where I am broadcasting out of today.
00:28:03.000 So, Charlie touched on this yesterday during the show.
00:28:05.000 It's about the Emerson College polling that came out that it sent shockwaves, folks.
00:28:12.000 Now, if you're in California politics, it sent shockwaves because what it basically illuminated to the prognosticators and the punditry class in California, which is so often fixated,
00:28:28.000 by the way, on national politics that some of the local political trends get missed, is that one is within the statistical margin of error that Gavin Newsom will get recalled.
00:28:46.000 So, to refresh your memory, Gavin Newsome, when we do our balloting here in California, 50% plus one vote is all it takes.
00:28:56.000 50% plus one vote is all it takes to trigger the recall.
00:29:03.000 And then the person that wins only needs to win a plurality of the vote.
00:29:09.000 Okay?
00:29:10.000 So, right now, this Emerson polling made headlines because, guess what?
00:29:16.000 Our friend and our fellow Salem radio network colleague, Larry Elder, is currently leading in the polling with 23%.
00:29:26.000 John Cox is at 7%.
00:29:28.000 Caitlin Jenner is at 7%.
00:29:30.000 And Kevin Kiley is at 5%.
00:29:34.000 Now, and Kevin Faulkner, the former mayor of San Diego is at 4%.
00:29:39.000 Now, 40% are still undecided.
00:29:42.000 So, there's a lot of decisions that still have to be made.
00:29:45.000 But Larry has come in and completely energized the California recall.
00:29:50.000 Masterful, masterful move.
00:29:52.000 Our friend Dennis Prager helped encourage him.
00:29:54.000 Dennis has come on the show and explained his journey to doing this.
00:29:57.000 Now, I will say that the most ardent supporters of the recall should not surprise you.
00:30:04.000 That would be conservatives.
00:30:09.000 That's fine.
00:30:10.000 We understand that majority Republicans, 80% support the recall, 16% say keep.
00:30:15.000 I don't know who these 16% I've never met one.
00:30:18.000 They must be a unicorn.
00:30:20.000 I really don't know where that's coming from.
00:30:23.000 Now, Independents, 54 to 34% are in favor of the recall.
00:30:28.000 But here's what's really, really striking.
00:30:31.000 Now, men are split 47, 47.
00:30:34.000 Good for the men.
00:30:34.000 The women need to come up.
00:30:36.000 They're at 44% recall, 51% keep.
00:30:38.000 So they are slightly in favor of keeping Gavin Newsome.
00:30:42.000 But here is the weirdest part about it.
00:30:46.000 Now, there's two things that should be really encouraging for Republicans in the state of California.
00:30:51.000 One of the biggest movers of this Emerson poll was crime.
00:30:55.000 It got a 6% increase in those who were polled.
00:30:58.000 It said crime was their number one issue.
00:31:01.000 That bodes well for law and order Republicans.
00:31:04.000 And here's the kicker: Latinos support the recall.
00:31:09.000 I'll say it again: Latinos in California support recalling Governor Gavin Newsom.
00:31:17.000 From critical race theory in your children's classroom to policy changes under the current administration, you need to know what's happening from a news source you can trust.
00:31:27.000 Unfortunately, most media outlets opt for shameless virtue signaling and state propaganda in lieu of the truth.
00:31:35.000 It's an insult to your intelligence, which is why my good friends, great people, at the Daily Wire are providing an alternative.
00:31:42.000 From the Daily Wire newsroom comes Morning Wire, a daily morning news podcast that gives you the facts you need to know first.

00:32:33.000 The Daily Wire is now launching the Morning Wire.
00:32:38.000 It's called Morning Wire.
00:32:39.000 Check it out.
00:32:42.000 Larry Elder has a real chance of winning the recall election.
00:32:46.000 I mean, I will tell you, before he announced, it was like in California, everybody was kind of like, eh, I don't know, we're losing steam, like lockdowns have gone away.
00:32:53.000 That was a real animating element of why Gavin Newsom got recalled.
00:32:57.000 But a couple things have happened.
00:33:00.000 Well, the Delta variant is surging, and Mass are coming back.
00:33:05.000 So far, not where I live, thank goodness.
00:33:06.000 But I'm going to try and defy that and not comply.
00:33:09.000 You should do the same.
00:33:11.000 But I will say that that has animated people.
00:33:13.000 But then Larry Elder jumping into the race has animated people.
00:33:17.000 He's a Trump-supporting, loud, proud, great communicator.
00:33:21.000 He's black, which is like, you know, extremely helpful in this crazy state, I will tell you.
00:33:27.000 The name, the media attention that he gets, the name recognition, the name ID is all tremendous.
00:33:35.000 It is a perfect storm.
00:33:37.000 Larry Elder could be the next governor of California.
00:33:41.000 This is a real, real possibility.
00:33:43.000 Now, why is that?
00:33:47.000 It's because conservatives are stepping up.
00:33:51.000 They're going to vote for it.
00:33:53.000 But surprise, surprise, the biggest reason why is that Hispanics, that's right, Hispanics are the only racial group in favor of the recall.
00:34:04.000 Now, I'm going to tell you a little story.
00:34:07.000 And I don't mean for this to sound patronizing or anything of the sort.
00:34:11.000 I have a project that I was working on, a construction project.
00:34:17.000 My main contractor is Hispanic.
00:34:20.000 Now, he was born in Mexico, but he married a Mexican-American.
00:34:25.000 So she's a citizen.
00:34:26.000 She was down to Mexico for a vacation.
00:34:28.000 It ended up being a prolonged vacation.
00:34:30.000 They fell in love.
00:34:31.000 They got married.
00:34:32.000 He moved here.
00:34:33.000 So he's an amazing, amazing guy.
00:34:35.000 Now, those of you who've listened to me, guest host this show, know that I have basically zero tolerance for illegal immigration.
00:34:41.000 It is my, probably my top two issue of what I think is wrong, because I think lawlessness at the border leads to lawlessness in the interior, leads to a breakdown of law and order.
00:34:53.000 Chaos ensues.
00:34:55.000 It's just insane, right?
00:34:57.000 I think it's despicable.
00:34:59.000 I think on many fronts.
00:35:00.000 That doesn't mean I don't like individual Hispanics, right?
00:35:04.000 I'm not like one of these crazy racist leftists that believe in racial essentialism or race essentialism, which everything is defined by race.
00:35:12.000 No, it's not at all.
00:35:13.000 My contractor is an amazing guy, amazing guy.
00:35:17.000 And I remember talking to him during the run-up to the election.
00:35:20.000 And I just said, hey, who are you voting for?
00:35:22.000 Let's just lay it on the table.
00:35:24.000 I like you.
00:35:25.000 You like me.
00:35:25.000 We're at that level now.
00:35:26.000 It's all good.
00:35:27.000 I don't care what you say.
00:35:28.000 I was expecting him to say Biden, and I was like, yeah, I'm going to defend this.
00:35:31.000 This should be fun.
00:35:32.000 He said Trump.
00:35:34.000 He said 100% Trump.
00:35:36.000 And that surprised me.
00:35:37.000 I said, well, why is that?
00:35:39.000 And he just said that he thought Biden was kind of, you know, less than masculine.
00:35:45.000 And he said, you know what?
00:35:46.000 Listen, since Trump's been in office, I've been making lots of money.
00:35:50.000 My wallet's full.
00:35:52.000 My family's good.
00:35:52.000 My business is growing.
00:35:54.000 I've got zero complaints.
00:35:55.000 Let's keep the good times rolling.
00:35:57.000 And I said, is that like, you know, do you feel that way with a lot of your friends?
00:36:01.000 Like, you know, what are you guys talking about?
00:36:03.000 He said, I don't know anybody who's supporting Biden.
00:36:06.000 He's like, we like Trump.
00:36:07.000 He's more macho, which I thought was amazing.
00:36:11.000 Now, for those on the live stream, I want to play a picture.
00:36:16.000 I want to post a picture, 63.
00:36:21.000 This is a graph actually compiled by data.
00:36:26.000 I think it was provided by the Daily Mail, but it came from New York Times originally.
00:36:31.000 This is a graph that depicts how Latino and Asian voting changed between 2016 and 2020.
00:36:38.000 Now, what you are not going to hear about in the news too much today is that Joe Biden is doing a pivot internally.
00:36:44.000 He realizes that the Latino and Asian voting slipped for Democrats from 2016 to 2020.
00:36:53.000 And he realizes that it's slipping even more heading into the midterms of 2022.
00:36:57.000 And they are trying to do outreach big time because they're panicking that they are losing this vote.
00:37:02.000 So you see in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, you saw this in Miami.
00:37:07.000 You saw these big surges in turnout for Republicans in these minority communities that the Democrats have long taken for granted.
00:37:14.000 Now, everywhere we saw more voting, right?
00:37:18.000 Everywhere there was more voting in 2020 from 2016 because of mail-ins.
00:37:22.000 But think about this.
00:37:23.000 In Los Angeles, 78% of that increased voting went to Donald Trump.
00:37:28.000 78% of the extra votes went to Donald Trump.
00:37:31.000 This is incredible.
00:37:32.000 This trend is a national trend, and it might flip the fortunes of California and the nation for conservatives.
00:37:40.000 Watch it closely, my friends.
00:37:44.000 All right, you might be hearing a little crunch because I'm eating something that's really special.
00:37:48.000 So we have a new partner here on the Charlie Kirk Show, and they're pretty awesome.
00:37:53.000 They're called Uprising Foods.
00:37:55.000 Now, hear me out.
00:37:56.000 95% of Americans live in the fiber gap.
00:38:00.000 Over nine in 10 are deficient in fiber.
00:38:03.000 Fiber is one of the most well-studied nutrients of all time and is a bona fide superfood for most people.
00:38:10.000 Until Uprising came along, it was nearly impossible to get all the fiber each day because it's literally impractical, completely impractical, to hit 30 grams each day.
00:38:19.000 You have to have two full heads of broccoli, okay?
00:38:21.000 These people made it simple to enjoy and hit your high fiber numbers.
00:38:25.000 You want to push back against big pharma?
00:38:27.000 Hit your fiber numbers, everybody.
00:38:29.000 They've cracked the code on healthy bread.
00:38:31.000 So they send you a Rubik's cube of bread, okay?
00:38:35.000 It's really interesting.
00:38:36.000 Only two net carbs per serving, six grams of protein, okay?
00:38:40.000 And nine grams of fiber.
00:38:42.000 If a biohacker in a high-end farm, Market Baker, had a baby, it'd be Uprising Foods.
00:38:48.000 Uprising Foods is where you can get your fiber supply every single day, and it's bigger than just a product.
00:38:54.000 I can tell you right now, the guy that reps Uprising Foods, great guy.
00:38:58.000 If anyone is excited as much as he's excited about this thing, I'm telling you, something to get behind.
00:39:05.000 So right now, if you're like, Charlie, I don't get it.
00:39:07.000 Okay, so here's how it works.
00:39:08.000 I'm celiac.
00:39:09.000 I'm allergic to gluten.
00:39:10.000 This is literally all the protein and all the fiber you need.
00:39:13.000 It comes to you as a Rubik's cube, and they send it to you, super fresh, made in America.
00:39:18.000 You don't have to go shopping for bread or any of that.
00:39:21.000 And it actually tastes really good, but you get fiber.
00:39:23.000 Having a high-fiber diet can prevent against colon cancer and prostate issues, all sorts of stuff.
00:39:28.000 And they have these chips that are really, really, really good.
00:39:31.000 So here's what you do: you go to uprisingfood.com and use the code Kirk to get $10 off the starter bundle.
00:39:38.000 It's kind of like a mini trip to the grocery store, minus all the unhealthy distractions.
00:39:43.000 And they ship directly to your door.
00:39:44.000 That's uprisingfood.com.

00:39:59.000 So I was talking about the Hispanic vote.
00:40:02.000 There's a lot of anecdotal evidence I could share that would explain why they are the one racial group that supports the recall.
00:40:10.000 There's a lot of anecdotal evidence, but the question is sort of why?
00:40:17.000 Why would that trend be happening?
00:40:19.000 And I'm really, I'm so fascinated by this because I'm going to start this segment by playing a clip from Newt Gingrich this morning on Fox business.
00:40:28.000 Now, Newt is a friend of the show.
00:40:30.000 He's come on.
00:40:33.000 He's a friend of Charlie's in general.
00:40:36.000 But here's what's interesting.
00:40:37.000 So I saw that he was trending on Twitter, and I knew that I really wanted to speak about immigration.
00:40:43.000 I want to talk about this Hispanic vote, the trends that are happening.
00:40:46.000 And then he's trending on Twitter because he is the quote-unquote newest person to go on Fox and talk about replacement theory.
00:40:54.000 Let's talk about that after we play this clip, but go ahead and play cut and we'll discuss.
00:40:59.000 Is that the anti-American left would love to drown traditional classic Americans with as many people as they can who know nothing of American history, nothing of American tradition, nothing of the rule of law.
00:41:14.000 And I think that when you go and you look at the radical left, this is their ideal model is to get rid of the rest of us because we believe in George Washington or we believe in the Constitution.
00:41:27.000 And you see this behavior over and over again.
00:41:30.000 Now, Newt is not wrong.
00:41:35.000 This is the game they play, right?
00:41:37.000 They're trying to replace us.
00:41:39.000 If you say those words, that is, then you're instantly lumped into this replacement theory, which is considered a fringe ideological conspiracy theory.
00:41:49.000 And it's supposed to be hateful and racist and xenophobic and all of these things.
00:41:53.000 The problem is, and we touched on this in a previous episode, previous show, is that it has the unfortunate fact that it tends to be true.
00:42:05.000 And the Democrats talk about this, how they celebrate the demographic change.
00:42:09.000 They celebrate how Texas is going to turn blue, in their opinion, which I actually don't think is going to happen.
00:42:17.000 But they celebrate that because they think that this demographic replacement is actually going to usher in this single party rule of Democrats from coast to coast leading the nation.
00:42:31.000 That if you have a predominantly brown population, they are just going to vote Democrat.
00:42:37.000 No questions asked.
00:42:38.000 Now, this is what makes California so fascinating.
00:42:43.000 So a little history lesson.
00:42:46.000 And by the way, this is not just California.
00:42:48.000 We're seeing this in the Biden White House.
00:42:51.000 And I'll get to that in just a second.
00:42:54.000 We are seeing a reversal perhaps, and it took a generation from what they call Prop 187.
00:43:03.000 Now, this was in 1994.
00:43:06.000 Illegal immigration was surging, especially through San Diego.
00:43:10.000 I mean, the stories that you hear out of San Diego from this time are just, they're sort of mind-blowing.
00:43:16.000 And they are mind-blowing only until you think about what we have going on now, which is very similar.
00:43:22.000 People just walking across the border.
00:43:23.000 We've got, you know, people in these tents that have been set up in McAllen, Texas, and thousands of immigrants under bridges.
00:43:31.000 They know they're just going to be walked in and then bust out or shipped out or flown out into the interior, never to return again.
00:43:38.000 Now, what they had in the 90s was not dissimilar.
00:43:40.000 People, apparently, when the light, when the sun would go down, all of these migrants would wait on the Mexican side of the border, and they're illegals.
00:43:48.000 Let's not use the euphemisms of the left.
00:43:50.000 They're illegal immigrants.
00:43:51.000 They're breaking our laws and our customs and flouting the rule of law in this country.
00:43:58.000 They would wait on the other side of the border.
00:44:00.000 The sun would go down.
00:44:01.000 They would stream across.
00:44:03.000 And the stories that you hear from the early 90s was just thousands every night.
00:44:07.000 There were people with like juice stands and you know, almost like a fair-like atmosphere because they're feeding these illegals as they would cross over.
00:44:15.000 This became a rallying cry in the state in the 90s.
00:44:19.000 Now, you got to remember: the state voted for George H.W.
00:44:23.000 It voted for Reagan, obviously, in the 80s.
00:44:25.000 This is the state of Nixon and the Reagan Library and President Reagan, obviously.
00:44:30.000 It was sort of reliably read and at the very worst, purple.
00:44:36.000 The change with Prop 187 is that there was basically an effort to make it illegal for illegal immigrants to use public services.
00:44:50.000 It was anything from schools to the health care, non-emergency health care.
00:45:00.000 It basically touched on nearly everything.
00:45:02.000 If you were illegal, you were not able to use public services from the taxpayers.
00:45:07.000 It passed.
00:45:09.000 It passed in 1994.
00:45:11.000 Prop 187, which was called the Save Our State Prop, passed in California 60-40.
00:45:19.000 Ultimately, it was ruled unconstitutional.
00:45:22.000 We got a government, Governor Gray Davis, who ended up getting recalled, but he basically shelved it.
00:45:28.000 It was a total travesty, actually, that the voters voted for something.
00:45:33.000 It was basically slow-walked and then ruled unconstitutional.
00:45:37.000 So the voters of the state of California never got what they voted for.
00:45:40.000 Now, could there have been certain aspects of that bill that were unconstitutional?
00:45:44.000 Sure.
00:45:44.000 Should they have tweaked certain things?
00:45:46.000 Probably.
00:45:47.000 But the fact of the matter is, they never got what they wanted.
00:45:50.000 Now, the predominant theory is that Hispanics turned on the GOP after Prop 187.
00:45:59.000 Now, I don't necessarily know that that's true.
00:46:01.000 I think it's probably mostly true.
00:46:03.000 You fast forward to a generation where their kids could actually vote, and probably there was some hangover from Prop 187.
00:46:11.000 But the bottom line is the California conservatives didn't get what they wanted.
00:46:15.000 And there was a stream of immigrants.
00:46:17.000 Now, let's fast forward to what we have today.
00:46:19.000 And I've talked to many Hispanics in California that feel this way.
00:46:22.000 I've heard this also from Hispanics that I talked to when I was in Texas recently.
00:46:27.000 Law and order is so top of mind for the Hispanic electorate that it is beginning to supersede some of those past allegiances.
00:46:39.000 Take this Emerson poll in California as just one example.
00:46:43.000 Crime, this is month over month, is now 6% more important than it was just last month.
00:46:52.000 6% more important than just last month.
00:46:55.000 Why are we seeing that?
00:46:56.000 Because crime is on the rise all across the country, specifically in California.
00:47:02.000 You can shoplift up to $950 and just walk out of the store.
00:47:07.000 Nobody's going to do anything to you because it's a misdemeanor and it's not worth the paperwork.
00:47:12.000 So crime is on the rise.
00:47:14.000 Now, if you are Hispanic immigrant, maybe you're second generation, maybe you've climbed into the middle class in America, and you see the lawlessness, the chaos of the left, not to mention the fact that they're pro-abortion, that they tend to be advocates for dismantling traditional ideas about the family and gender and faith.
00:47:37.000 So not only do you have a predominantly Catholic group that's saying, okay, well, at least you had my back with the prop 187 days, but you're, you know, and so I'm going to overlook some of these social issues because, you know, GOP is racist.
00:47:51.000 Well, all of a sudden, you got the Democrats who are standing in way of common sense reform to stop crime, to stop homelessness.
00:47:58.000 They make it harder to do business, harder to thrive.
00:48:00.000 And the very things that they look to America as this beacon on the hill of law and order, of safety, of security, of a distinct change in culture from what was south of the border where it was lawlessness and crime and danger and no jobs.
00:48:17.000 All of a sudden, they realize that all this is coming together.
00:48:20.000 A generation later, the party that they used to be so enamored by is turning their back on them and taking them for granted.
00:48:29.000 And guess what?
00:48:30.000 The White House knows this.
00:48:31.000 They are in full panic mode.
00:48:33.000 PJ media, Democrats panic as Latinos and Asian voters leave the party.
00:48:40.000 What are the trends that we are seeing and why does it matter?
00:48:43.000 Why is it so important?
00:48:44.000 Okay, so you got Newt Gingrich trending on Twitter because he's spouting off about replacement ideology, which is, you know, fringe conspiracy theorists for far-right trolls on the internet.
00:49:00.000 No, actually, Democrats have admitted that they are pro-demographic replacement.
00:49:05.000 Why does any of this surprise us when we have things like CRT raging throughout our institutions, especially our schools, that are essentially anti-white, racialized Marxism?
00:49:15.000 Why should we be surprised that there's such a strong anti-white sentiment within the Democrat community that they are cheering, and they have been for years, by the way.
00:49:23.000 We're just sort of finally, we call it the great awakening of America to the wokeness.
00:49:31.000 So we are becoming awake to the wokeness.
00:49:35.000 So we're not, this is not replacement, some fringe thing.
00:49:38.000 I mean, they're just really proud about it.
00:49:39.000 But this is the great irony of it.
00:49:41.000 Now, I am very anti-illegal immigration.
00:49:43.000 I'm actually very in favor of decreasing legal immigration.
00:49:47.000 I think 1.2 million legals is far too much.
00:49:51.000 So let's take that down by like, you know, half, if not three quarters.
00:49:56.000 I'm not even kidding.
00:49:57.000 I think there's good immigrants and then there are not so good immigrants.
00:50:01.000 And I think illegal immigration is an absolute travesty.
00:50:04.000 Nevertheless, the sweet irony of all of this, and we saw this recently with the Cuban crisis that has erupted, that the Democrats are very happy to take future Democrat voters or who they think are going to be Democrat voters from the Northern Triangle.
00:50:22.000 This is Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, from Mexico.
00:50:28.000 They're very happy to take those immigrants.
00:50:32.000 And they're very happy to basically make claims that the border is totally under control when it's not because actually they're playing a long game.
00:50:40.000 And they call that replacement theory or ideology.
00:50:44.000 It's total garbage.
00:50:45.000 It's actually just calling a spade a spade.
00:50:46.000 We know what they're up to.
00:50:48.000 We know what it is.
00:50:49.000 And yet, look at these headlines.
00:50:52.000 These are from today, folks.
00:50:54.000 Biden tries to stem the alarming flow of minority voters away from Democrats ahead of midterm elections.
00:51:01.000 That's from the Washington Examiner.
00:51:03.000 PJ Media, Democrats panic as Latinos and Asian voters leave the party.
00:51:10.000 How about the Atlantic?
00:51:13.000 Voters who could turn California red.
00:51:16.000 The state GOP's comeback runs through Latino communities.
00:51:20.000 What's really interesting about this is that they are specifically highlighting Mexican-American communities in Los Angeles County, in Orange County, in Ventura County, the types of people that helped push Mike Garcia over the finish line, Michelle Steele, Young Kim, and others.
00:51:41.000 So we saw this break.
00:51:43.000 We saw that predominantly Hispanic communities in the Rio Grande Valley flipped for Trump for the first time in many cases ever.
00:51:52.000 And we have a massive amount of panic.
00:51:55.000 Now, the question then becomes: why?
00:51:59.000 Why?
00:52:00.000 Now, this is the key.
00:52:02.000 If you don't remember anything else that I said, just sort of general stats kind of brush over your head.
00:52:08.000 And I understand that.
00:52:09.000 Sometimes it's hard to grasp these things or keep them in your mind.
00:52:13.000 But notice that big changes are happening within the Hispanic community.
00:52:18.000 And you ask yourself why.
00:52:20.000 They happened under Trump.
00:52:24.000 Now, what you're going to see happen is you're going to see the political class and the punditry class, they're going to come in and they're going to say one thing.
00:52:32.000 We have to distance ourselves from the rhetoric, the inflammatory rhetoric of President Donald Trump if we are going to win over these reachable Latinos in the middle.
00:52:44.000 That is wrong.
00:52:46.000 Our consultancy class has been wrong for decades when it comes to minority voters.
00:52:53.000 They saw in President Trump a strong leader, somebody that would help lead them to better financial progress.
00:53:02.000 They saw somebody that was tough on law and order, that he was tough on crime, and he was tough on the border.
00:53:09.000 Now, if you are Hispanic, and this is counterintuitive, if you are Hispanic, you don't just naturally support more illegal immigration.
00:53:16.000 The truth is, I think, much more subtle.
00:53:19.000 There is a large percentage of people that are already on this side that say, you know what?
00:53:25.000 The less illegals that are coming through, the better that is for my job prospects.
00:53:28.000 The higher the wage I can charge, the more I'm going to thrive.
00:53:34.000 And I don't want them bringing chaos into this country that I've fled to.
00:53:38.000 So do not let them pander to the weak side of this argument, to the middle, the mushy middle.
00:53:44.000 It was strength that started this trend.
