00:00:06.000 Pretty amazing.

00:00:07.000 Praise God that we won.

00:00:08.000 Just remarkable.

00:00:25.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:26.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:28.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:32.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:35.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:36.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:37.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:39.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. 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.

00:00:54.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:22.000 Honor to be with you guys as always.

00:01:24.000 I'm wearing my Andrew Breitbart shirt today in honor of Andrew Breitbart, one of the legends who passed away before this movement really was able to pick up steam, but he was one of the reasons why the movement got its start.

00:01:37.000 Blake is with us.

00:01:38.000 I believe Andrew is with us as well.

00:01:40.000 Yep.

00:01:40.000 How did we sleep last night, guys?

00:01:43.000 Like, I don't think I roused at all, Charlie, for about eight hours at least.

00:01:50.000 I hit the pillow hard.

00:01:52.000 Yeah, and Blake, how about you?

00:01:54.000 Same thing.

00:01:55.000 I think I walked home, went to bed, and woke up about 40 minutes ago.

00:01:59.000 Yeah, it's kind of finally hitting in, right?

00:02:04.000 Yeah, I mean, none of us really slept more than an hour or two after election night.

00:02:09.000 We didn't even feel tired.

00:02:10.000 It was so amped up.

00:02:12.000 Probably also the three different espressos I drank and...

00:02:15.000 Went hard yesterday?

00:02:17.000 Yeah, and we're kind of normalizing right now.

00:02:20.000 Is that fair to say?

00:02:22.000 So, Andrew, there was some overnight news in Nevada, and I want to get to that.

00:02:26.000 And there's just so much news here, but can you just quickly update our audience?

00:02:30.000 We are on YouTube, so we have to be delicate the way we talk about this, but here's a theme, guys.

00:02:35.000 Donald Trump outperformed all the Senate candidates in every state.

00:02:38.000 And these races for the Senate candidates have gotten really close.

00:02:41.000 And then the inner cities are able to then report their votes to bring the Democrat across the finish line.

00:02:47.000 Donald Trump's margins were so significant that it was inconsequential.

00:02:52.000 But Andrew, it seems as if this is a pattern.

00:02:54.000 We're now seeing this in Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada.

00:02:57.000 Pennsylvania is still in limbo with the Republican up 30,000 votes.

00:03:02.000 That looks like it's our best shot.

00:03:04.000 What do you think, Andrew?

00:03:04.000 I mean, I think I go with Cliff Maloney's logic.

00:03:09.000 I think we're going to be okay in PAA.

00:03:12.000 But yeah, there was a big drop in Clark, and it went significantly for Jackie Rosen in Nevada.

00:03:21.000 So Sam Brown looks like she's going to continue pulling away from Sam Brown based on the votes that are outstanding.

00:03:28.000 I mean, I'm looking at Washoe, 80% of the votes...

00:03:33.000 Are in in Washoe.

00:03:34.000 She's got a 7,000-vote lead in Washoe. 0.80

00:03:37.000 It looks like 93% of the votes are in Clark County, which is Las Vegas.

00:03:43.000 Jackie Brown really put some distance.

00:03:46.000 She's winning that county in Nevada, 51-44. 0.99

00:03:50.000 So she's just piling up her margins there. 0.95

00:03:54.000 It looks like for Sam Brown, it's going to ultimately be too much for him to make up.

00:04:00.000 There's still votes outstanding in Nye.

00:04:03.000 Looks like that's about 67% in.

00:04:05.000 He's winning that 70-23.

00:04:07.000 But I think the margins are just going to be, unfortunately, too much for Sam Brown to make up.

00:04:15.000 And, you know, last-minute dumps.

00:04:18.000 The states just keep counting.

00:04:19.000 I mean...

00:04:20.000 Utah, Arizona, Nevada both need to really reform some of their electoral systems in the way we count votes.

00:04:27.000 There's some indication Arizona's gonna be quicker in the future, but I think there's still a lot of work to do if you talk to Tyler.

00:04:34.000 But yeah, I mean, this is crazy that we're still waiting on vote drops in states like Nevada.

00:04:41.000 Mike Lee's gone on the record saying that Utah has a lot of reform to do in its electoral process.

00:04:47.000 And I have to agree.

00:04:50.000 States like California, they've got 54% of the vote in California. 0.98

00:04:56.000 That's ridiculous.

00:04:57.000 My big victory of the night, our big victory, I should say, not mine, Arizona has officially been called for Donald Trump. 0.93

00:05:03.000 Really?

00:05:03.000 By decision desk?

00:05:05.000 New York Times is still not calling it, which is very funny.

00:05:07.000 They haven't called Nevada either.

00:05:08.000 Can someone show me the mathematical path for Kamala Harris in Arizona?

00:05:12.000 Show me the path with 92% of the vote in for Kamala Harris to come back from down four in Nevada. 1.00

00:05:17.000 And it is now official, Blake.

00:05:19.000 I can say this.

00:05:20.000 Arizona is the best performing of the seven battlegrounds.

00:05:22.000 It is because Nevada has gone down for Trump, as I anticipated, but still good.

00:05:26.000 Donald Trump is up 5.5 points in Arizona with 30% of the reddest votes yet to be counted.

00:05:32.000 Excellent.

00:05:33.000 Andrew, Donald Trump could conceivably win Arizona by 7 points, which privately, Andrew, is right within our modeling.

00:05:40.000 Yeah, it actually could.

00:05:42.000 I mean, we're talking about, I was talking about with Tyler, it could be even higher than that, Charlie.

00:05:47.000 I mean, obviously, we're not trying to be greedy here, but conceivably, depending on how these votes go, Donald Trump could win Arizona by 7 or 8 points.

00:05:56.000 Which, privately, we weren't saying it publicly, but we were looking at the data before Election Day, and we were looking at our chase.

00:06:03.000 I mean, we're talking hundreds of thousands of ballots from low-prop conservatives in Arizona that Turning Point Action successfully banked before the election.

00:06:15.000 I mean, we saw the numbers.

00:06:16.000 We're cross-referencing it with the voter data.

00:06:19.000 I mean, this is within our model.

00:06:22.000 Seven to eight points is within our model.

00:06:25.000 I think people are going to be studying what happened in Arizona, Charlie, for a very, very long time because up and down the board, it's looking like an increasingly, increasingly dominant election performance for Donald Trump.

00:06:42.000 And obviously, Turning Point Action had a big role to play there.

00:06:45.000 But I expect he's going to keep pulling away.

00:06:47.000 So congratulations to the Turning Point team.

00:06:50.000 Job well done.

00:06:51.000 Yes, and so Cary Lake is still trying to claw back. 0.99

00:06:54.000 Cary Lake is down 53,000 votes right now.

00:06:58.000 Not insurmountable, but it's still going to be a little bit of a battle.

00:07:02.000 Again, in Arizona, we decide to count our votes.

00:07:06.000 It's kind of like Hanukkah.

00:07:08.000 It's like a 16-day thing.

00:07:10.000 You open like one present a day.

00:07:11.000 Exactly.

00:07:12.000 That's what I'm saying, is that you kind of get one present a day.

00:07:15.000 How long does Hanukkah go?

00:07:16.000 Eight nights.

00:07:18.000 Oh no, that's much longer than Hanukkah.

00:07:21.000 Eight craziness.

00:07:22.000 It's like Ramadan. 0.98

00:07:22.000 It's like a whole month. 0.98

00:07:23.000 I remember it because of the Adam Sandler movie, which was really bad.

00:07:27.000 Was Rob Schneider in that one?

00:07:28.000 It was an animated movie, so maybe he had a voice or something.

00:07:31.000 No, it's like Ramadan.

00:07:32.000 It's like a whole month.

00:07:34.000 So we decide we only count ballots at night.

00:07:37.000 Ramadan, you're only able to eat at night.

00:07:39.000 You have to fast and pray during the day.

00:07:41.000 So we kind of go an entire process here.

00:07:44.000 This is how insulting it is in Maricopa County right now.

00:07:47.000 We were expecting this big drop.

00:07:48.000 They reported 23,000 votes last night.

00:07:50.000 23,000.

00:07:51.000 Do you know there's 795,000 outstanding votes in Maricopa alone?

00:07:57.000 And in one day, we got 23,000 votes out of Maricopa.

00:08:02.000 We got 23,000 votes out of them in one day.

00:08:05.000 So Carrie Lake is down 53,000 votes. 1.00

00:08:08.000 There are a million votes outstanding in the state.

00:08:12.000 There's still a lot of votes outstanding in Pima County, which is quite liberal, and that could end up making the difference for her. 0.81

00:08:19.000 But Donald Trump, his gains continue in the state of Arizona, which obviously we really care about.

00:08:24.000 Okay, we want to now go through the media reaction To all things Donald Trump and him being the president, it still hasn't really set in everybody.

00:08:33.000 Donald Trump storms back to the White House.

00:08:35.000 Can I just show you some of these headlines here?

00:08:38.000 Daisy got them.

00:08:39.000 Look at this.

00:08:40.000 Wall Street Journal.

00:08:41.000 Trump triumphs again.

00:08:42.000 How good is that?

00:08:45.000 Republican, former president, is the first and more of the century to reclaim the White House after losing it.

00:08:49.000 Who was the other president that did that?

00:08:51.000 Grover Cleveland.

00:08:52.000 And it was very similar.

00:08:53.000 We always said it was eerily similar circumstances, right?

00:08:56.000 It was very close.

00:08:57.000 Grover Cleveland, and then it wasn't Harrison.

00:08:59.000 It was Benjamin Harrison, yeah.

00:09:01.000 Oh, I'm sorry, okay.

00:09:02.000 But not William Henry Harrison.

00:09:04.000 Not William, it was his grandson.

00:09:05.000 32 days term, right?

00:09:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:07.000 William Henry, who got shot?

00:09:08.000 No, he got pneumonia.

00:09:09.000 He got pneumonia at the inauguration and died 31.

00:09:12.000 It's not clear if it was at the inauguration, but he was sick and died right away.

00:09:15.000 This is the one I'm framing, Daisy.

00:09:16.000 So I don't want to get anything on it.

00:09:18.000 So come back and take this for me in a second.

00:09:20.000 This is the best New York Times.

00:09:22.000 Trump storms back.

00:09:23.000 Same pose with the arm up.

00:09:25.000 Isn't that great?

00:09:26.000 That's so insightful.

00:09:28.000 Look at that.

00:09:28.000 Can we zoom in here, guys?

00:09:29.000 Trump storms back.

00:09:31.000 Trump with the fist defiant.

00:09:33.000 That would be so good to have the butler pose and then this.

00:09:39.000 How great is that, right?

00:09:40.000 It's great.

00:09:40.000 It's amazing.

00:09:41.000 He defeats Harris and caps his resurgence from outcast to felon to president-elect.

00:09:47.000 Guys, there has never been a comeback story like this.

00:09:51.000 I have to have a question.

00:09:51.000 30 seconds.

00:09:52.000 Do other countries embrace comebacks the way America does?

00:09:56.000 Culturally.

00:09:57.000 Because we seem to have a cultural... 0.98

00:09:59.000 We're like suckers for comebacks. 0.54

00:10:00.000 We love comebacks. 0.76

00:10:01.000 We love underdogs.

00:10:01.000 It's not...

00:10:02.000 Is that a human thing or is it an American thing?

00:10:03.000 I think it's a human thing.

00:10:04.000 Okay, all right.

00:10:04.000 There's some pretty great political comeback stories elsewhere.

00:10:07.000 Fair enough.

00:10:08.000 Orban, our friend, he lost power, came all the way back.

00:10:10.000 Napoleon, Churchill.

00:10:11.000 Napoleon, Churchill.

00:10:13.000 Well, Churchill was in exile, like very similar.

00:10:15.000 Four separate times.

00:10:16.000 Churchill was in exile four times?

00:10:18.000 I'm just eyeballing it, but like he gets humiliated after Gallipoli, so he's in the world.

00:10:21.000 And then there was the Ardennes.

00:10:23.000 Not the Ardennes.

00:10:23.000 No, it was the big failure he had in World War I. You're thinking of Gallipoli.

00:10:29.000 Dardanelles.

00:10:30.000 So they lose there, so he goes out of power.

00:10:32.000 10 seconds.

00:10:33.000 Comes back, goes out of power, comes back again.

00:10:36.000 And then, it's very similar to Trump, but this will be Trump's last term.

00:10:43.000 Okay, everybody, I'll have something to offer you today, something absolutely free.

00:11:40.000 That is charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:11:45.000 Blake, I'm going to hand you the baton.

00:11:47.000 I love that face you get when the New York Times publishes stuff.

00:11:50.000 So let's get into that.

00:11:52.000 All right, so we're finally getting...

00:11:54.000 This is one of the biggest reasons you wanted Trump to win, was just so we could see the articles where Democrats point fingers, complain, start attacking each other.

00:12:02.000 We're getting those articles from places like the New York Times.

00:12:05.000 So the New York Times is this gigantic article, how Trump won, how Harris lost.

00:12:10.000 He made one essential bet that his grievances could become the grievances of the Magmo. 1.00

00:12:15.000 You know, they have their wording on it.

00:12:16.000 But buried in this is one of the better parts, which is they talk about the gamble that he made on advertising.

00:12:23.000 Because if you looked at the big headline issues, he was ahead on the economy.

00:12:27.000 He was the head on the border.

00:12:28.000 But if you were in swing states, including I believe I saw this one here in Arizona during football games and stuff, he ran this ad.

00:12:36.000 And what it was is it was about Kamala Harris saying she wanted to pay for transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants in prison.

00:12:46.000 The thing that they said was ludicrous during the debate and it was entirely real.

00:12:49.000 And they would talk about that and then it would end with the tagline, Kamala is for they them.

00:12:55.000 Mm-hmm.

00:13:10.000 And so they would attack this, but it turns out when they ran the numbers, this was by far Trump's most effective ad.

00:13:16.000 They would test this ad with people, and it would shift the race significantly towards him.

00:13:21.000 And so they took a bet.

00:13:23.000 They started to put this on the air all over, in the big picture slots during NFL games, the stuff where you knew people would see it.

00:13:31.000 And it really just lays out all of the vulnerabilities that Democrats had.

00:13:35.000 And I think it's even stronger.

00:13:36.000 They say it's about the trans issue.

00:13:38.000 But it's more than that.

00:13:40.000 It goes after the idea that Kamala's super ultra-liberal, just as a general idea. 0.96

00:13:45.000 It incorporates the border still.

00:13:48.000 It's like the insanity of, we're going to take people who shouldn't be in America at all, bring them here, put them in our prisons, and pay money to do these... 0.54

00:13:58.000 Novel things to them.

00:14:00.000 Gotta be careful with YouTube.

00:14:02.000 Well done.

00:14:03.000 So they're doing all of this.

00:14:05.000 And then they also have this great point where Bill Clinton pops up.

00:14:08.000 You might remember from the 2016 post-mortems, Bill Clinton, like he was giving all this advice.

00:14:14.000 He's like, guys, I don't know that you're doing the right strategy for Hillary here.

00:14:17.000 Can I tell you a Bill Clinton story?

00:14:20.000 Go for it.

00:14:20.000 So a guy who will not be named, who's a very well-known NFL guy.

00:14:24.000 He does color commentary on one of the networks.

00:14:26.000 Came to one of our Superchase events and he was like, Charlie, this is amazing, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:31.000 And he's like, I gotta tell you something.

00:14:32.000 He's like, I've known Bill Clinton for a while.

00:14:35.000 We won some Super Bowls.

00:14:37.000 I used to go there.

00:14:37.000 He's like, I ran into him at one of these football games.

00:14:40.000 And Bill Clinton was like, we're going to lose.

00:14:43.000 And no one's listening to me.

00:14:45.000 And we have a couple months of power left.

00:14:48.000 And this was literally like, I heard this the day before the election.

00:14:51.000 And he was like, you know, they're not in touch with the American people and blah, blah, blah.

00:14:57.000 Again, this is secondhand, okay?

00:14:58.000 So take it for whatever it's worth.

00:14:59.000 It's not firsthand, it's secondhand, so there might be some, you know...

00:15:02.000 It says in this article, Democrats struggled to respond.

00:15:05.000 At one point, former President Bill Clinton told an associate, we have to answer it, answer the ad, and say that we won't do it.

00:15:13.000 He even raised the issue in a conversation with the campaign, and he was told that the Trump ads were not necessarily having an impact.

00:15:21.000 He never broached the topic publicly.

00:15:25.000 It's just...

00:15:26.000 You feel like if the Democrats had a version of Bill Clinton who didn't have Bill Clinton's personal baggage, they'd be able to win elections forever.

00:15:35.000 But they don't.

00:15:37.000 They kind of have gotten rid of...

00:15:38.000 I bet if Bill Clinton were a younger age, he'd probably be a Republican and hopefully a little more moral.

00:15:45.000 But they've really turned out all of the normal people who understand normal politics and how to appeal to the real American center.

00:15:54.000 Yes.

00:15:54.000 And it's so wild.

00:15:57.000 I want to talk about this more later.

00:15:58.000 But like Matt Iglesias has this list of like principles he thinks for a new way forward on the left.

00:16:04.000 And it has these things like the government actually can put the interests of US citizens first and we should help normal people rather than anti-social types.

00:16:12.000 And you look at that and you're like...

00:16:14.000 Okay, Matt, that's great, but this list of principles is called being a conservative.

00:16:19.000 Thank you.

00:16:19.000 Come again.

00:16:21.000 It's remarkable, actually.

00:16:24.000 Andrew, I'm sorry, I'm just getting so much news.

00:16:26.000 There's so many things happening right now.

00:16:28.000 Tons.

00:16:29.000 I'm having the same problem.

00:16:30.000 Gavin Newsom calls a special session to protect California's liberal policies ahead of a Trump presidency.

00:16:36.000 Go for it.

00:16:37.000 If we want to turn California into this heat sink for every liberal, go to California.

00:16:42.000 You'll be safe there.

00:16:43.000 Just to be clear, though, California, as it stands right now, is the greatest percentage difference of 2020 versus 2024.

00:16:50.000 Really?

00:16:51.000 Yes.

00:16:52.000 But please take that with a huge asterisk.

00:16:54.000 It tends to get bluer as they count more ballots.

00:16:56.000 Well, they have only 55% in.

00:16:57.000 Well, hold on, Charlie.

00:16:58.000 10 seconds, Andrew.

00:16:59.000 Hold on on that.

00:16:59.000 10 seconds.

00:17:00.000 The ballot...

00:17:02.000 Harvesting and conservatives adopted that in California and it didn't go that way in 2022.

00:17:07.000 Okay, fair enough.

00:17:08.000 We'll see.

00:17:09.000 Again, I just want to have that caveat for now.

00:17:14.000 Let me ask a question.

00:17:16.000 Do you think our country is going in the right direction or does it feel like everything is falling apart?

00:17:20.000 If you're feeling alarmed, you're not alone.

00:17:22.000 In fact, Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever is coming next.

00:17:27.000 And that starts with an emergency food supply.

00:17:30.000 Restoring food in your home is the right thing to do because we're living in wild times, which explains why so many people are preparing.

00:17:36.000 Right now, you can get ready to with a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriotSupply.

00:17:42.000 It comes with delicious foods like creamy storgonoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf.

00:17:49.000 This entire kit offers over 2,000 calories every day.

00:17:53.000 This kit lasts up to 25 years.

00:17:55.000 Who knows what our country will look like then.

00:17:57.000 But when the day comes, you'll be ready.

00:17:59.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com.

00:18:00.000 That is mypatriotsupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit.

00:18:05.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy.

00:18:07.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com.

00:18:12.000 Okay, email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast.

00:18:16.000 Do we have Mr.

00:18:17.000 Cain, is that right?

00:18:20.000 That is right.

00:18:21.000 Mr.

00:18:21.000 Kane, how are we doing, man?

00:18:23.000 We won, we won, we won.

00:18:28.000 Charlie, the rest of you jabronis.

00:18:30.000 I've never watched, you know, here's the dirty secret.

00:18:33.000 I don't get to watch the Charlie Kirk show, right?

00:18:36.000 During the day I put it up.

00:18:37.000 I don't get to watch War Room.

00:18:38.000 Why?

00:18:39.000 Because I gotta fill the stack all the time.

00:18:42.000 But you guys on election night, Blake, Andrew, Tyler, and I guess Jack was with you too, till 5.30 a.m., On election morning.

00:18:53.000 It was fantastic.

00:18:54.000 I'm sure you saw.

00:18:55.000 I was leaving.

00:18:56.000 I knew no one else was reading.

00:18:58.000 Well, actually, there were.

00:18:58.000 There were like 35,000 concurrent people on my website at 530.

00:19:02.000 But I was leaving headlines just for you guys.

00:19:05.000 So it was fantastic.

00:19:09.000 And I haven't really stopped.

00:19:11.000 Just like you, I got about three hours sleep.

00:19:12.000 And then last night, maybe four or five.

00:19:15.000 So...

00:19:16.000 I gotta be honest with you.

00:19:18.000 I finally caught up last night.

00:19:20.000 So, finally caught up.

00:19:21.000 Kane, looking back at this election, what were the game changers that made this happen?

00:19:26.000 The forcing functions, if you will.

00:19:30.000 Well, I think if you go big picture, the first pillar is the outsourcing of the ground game, right?

00:19:35.000 There was a lot of pearl clutching and hand-wringing about, and even from me.

00:19:40.000 About, you know, the RNC and Trump not having a traditional get-out-the-vote effort.

00:19:44.000 And it's an example.

00:19:46.000 I'm not trying to blow the horn of TP Action and TPUSA, but it's, you know, a lot of this was outsourced to you.

00:19:53.000 And you then did outsourcing.

00:19:55.000 You were the one who brought Scott Pressler in the fold.

00:19:57.000 I remember being on your show the day that you announced that he was given $5 million for, I think it was Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

00:20:04.000 So that's the first pillar.

00:20:07.000 And it's a good pillar.

00:20:09.000 You know why?

00:20:09.000 Because I actually don't think that traditional door-knocking works.

00:20:13.000 I think more of a social media, telephone, essentially the tactic that TPUSA used.

00:20:23.000 And so hopefully this sets the standard going forward.

00:20:26.000 So that's pillar number one.

00:20:31.000 Pillar number two I've got a Time Magazine article up.

00:20:35.000 It's a huge spread.

00:20:37.000 Trump's secret weapon and his six-foot-nine-inch son.

00:20:41.000 So there's a second pillar is how the youth really, really reached out to young men.

00:20:47.000 And obviously what you've been doing on college campuses or your team is It's insane.

00:20:52.000 I've been posting the videos.

00:20:53.000 I mean, I think it was you were with Tulsi and just spinning MAGA hats like they were Frisbees and kids going crazy.

00:21:00.000 I mean, how insane is that?

00:21:01.000 And little factoid I probably learned on your show, probably from Blake, did we win center?

00:21:08.000 Did we win Penn State?

00:21:10.000 Yeah, barely.

00:21:10.000 Unfortunately, it was so close, but I mean, effectively tied, right?

00:21:13.000 Yeah.

00:21:15.000 So, Blake, what is the latest there?

00:21:19.000 Let me check it here.

00:21:20.000 We've got...

00:21:22.000 It looks like we're currently down there by about 1,800 with that 95 plus percent in that they measure it with.

00:21:30.000 But if you want to go by just the shift, shifted two and a half points more Republican than in 2020.

00:21:36.000 Wow.

00:21:37.000 Beautiful.

00:21:38.000 And Kane, I mean, the ground game we delivered, youth vote was just amazing.

00:21:42.000 And also the rise of Hispanic men, Kane, the rise of Hispanic men changed the game. 1.00

00:21:47.000 Yeah.

00:21:50.000 Yeah, I've been watching nothing but MSNBC and CNN for the last 48 hours, right?

00:21:56.000 Nothing.

00:21:57.000 Mostly MSNBC. And they're trying to get at the root of losing the Latino vote, especially the Latino Mayo vote. 1.00

00:22:05.000 You know, their heads are exploding, and they don't understand that we're moving the coalition, right?

00:22:10.000 First it was, I guess, the white working class was the first to sort of come on board, but it's shifting now to the black working class, the Hispanic working class.

00:22:20.000 So the coalition is broadening, and I just put up a tweet, I'm sure all of you have seen it, the Red Arrow tweet showing every county where he increased his support from 2020.

00:22:35.000 Let's put that back.

00:22:36.000 Do we have that, guys?

00:22:36.000 Yeah, so...

00:22:37.000 Keep going, Cain.

00:22:40.000 Yeah, so...

00:22:42.000 I mean, that's really what this was.

00:22:44.000 I mean, what did you and I and all of us talk about for the last year?

00:22:47.000 It's a margin of error election.

00:22:48.000 Whoever wins the turnout game wins.

00:22:50.000 And that's exactly what we did.

00:22:52.000 And so that's why that first pillar of sort of outsourcing it, not having the RNC do it solely on their own.

00:22:58.000 And I think it worked.

00:22:59.000 Yeah, look at that map.

00:23:00.000 That's a beautiful thing.

00:23:02.000 Now, I would love to see the map for Kamala where she increased her vote compared to Biden.

00:23:06.000 It's almost non-existent.

00:23:08.000 I know there's a viral video of Jake Tapper yesterday saying nothing, nothing, where he sees a map that had, but apparently that was an incorrect CNN map.

00:23:17.000 But there were, if you say places where Kamala increased over Biden by more than 5%, it was like 11 counties in the United States.

00:23:25.000 So you'd be basically looking at a blank map.

00:23:28.000 So it was really turnout, brother.

00:23:30.000 We did it!

00:23:31.000 All of us!

00:23:32.000 It was turnout!

00:23:35.000 Go ahead, Blake.

00:23:36.000 I'm just loving it.

00:23:36.000 One, that we won Miami-Dade by 11 is just the most electric result I've ever seen in my life.

00:23:41.000 We nearly flipped Palm Beach County, too.

00:23:43.000 Palm Beach.

00:23:44.000 Less than 1%.

00:23:45.000 When I knew something was happening is when Blake said we're going to win Miami-Dade County, I was like, that's one of the most Latino-Hispanic.

00:23:50.000 That means there's a Hispanic wave.

00:23:51.000 And I said, that means you're going to win Hispanics in...

00:23:55.000 There's a lot of Hispanics in Pennsylvania, a lot in Michigan, and it turned out... 0.99

00:23:59.000 And not just win, but annihilate them. 0.93

00:24:02.000 And Miami-Dade used to be a Democrat stronghold. 0.99

00:24:04.000 Annihilate.

00:24:05.000 Hillary got two-thirds of the vote in Miami-Dade eight years ago, and now we won it by 11. 0.98

00:24:10.000 Yeah, she won.

00:24:12.000 Unbelievable.

00:24:13.000 Hillary won by 31 points in Miami-Dade.

00:24:16.000 Okay, this is just a little taste.

00:24:18.000 MSNBC investigating our work.

00:24:20.000 Playcut 296.

00:24:22.000 I spoke to one young man who actually told me he was on the fence, but it was Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA who have been in and around this campus sharing the message of Donald Trump that ultimately pushed him over, and he said it's one of the reasons we're seeing all those Make America Great Again hats on campus because they brought them and distributed them to the students here.

00:24:42.000 Katie?

00:24:44.000 Mr.

00:24:45.000 Cain.

00:24:48.000 Well, you know, you teed that up really, really nicely.

00:24:52.000 Look, by the way, if people are wondering, that's my victory photo.

00:24:56.000 Oh, no way.

00:24:57.000 No more of the Fulton County mugshot.

00:25:02.000 That's the Kane victory photo.

00:25:04.000 Charlie, you did it.

00:25:05.000 All of TP did it.

00:25:07.000 Tyler, Andrew, your organization.

00:25:10.000 You know, I want people...

00:25:11.000 I know you sort of did some reminiscing.

00:25:14.000 I was watching you at 4 a.m.

00:25:15.000 on election night.

00:25:16.000 You did some reminiscing about the...

00:25:18.000 The creation of TP and how you got this started.

00:25:21.000 But people need to understand, Charlie had a dream at age 18.

00:25:24.000 And when I showed up to the Detroit convention, he, I think, purposely put me in the back of the line for the Trump photo with his very first donor ever.

00:25:34.000 The concrete paving maven of the state of Illinois.

00:25:38.000 Gary Rabine.

00:25:38.000 Yeah.

00:25:39.000 Great man.

00:25:40.000 Yeah.

00:25:41.000 What a great guy.

00:25:42.000 45 minutes he and I just talked as we waited in that line.

00:25:46.000 And I learned sort of about the start of TP action and TP, actually it was TP USA and your little dream, you know, we need to get a voice on college campuses.

00:25:55.000 And for just 13 years later to materialize, I mean, I think you could say, I mean, look, there are a lot of efforts and it's hard to sort of pinpoint who did what.

00:26:06.000 Scott Pressler, amazing work in Pennsylvania.

00:26:09.000 But I got super pumped a month ago when you were at Penn State, and those kids were showing up.

00:26:14.000 And I thought, I was thinking, maybe there's 100,000 out-of-state college, male college students in the state of Pennsylvania who will vote Trump.

00:26:22.000 And that was the missing piece, Charlie.

00:26:25.000 That was the missing piece these last 30 years.

00:26:28.000 We didn't have anyone to get out the youth vote.

00:26:32.000 And then you got an idea in Evanston, Illinois, when you were 18 years old.

00:26:37.000 Praise God.

00:26:38.000 This is 284.

00:26:40.000 This is Andrew's favorite video.

00:26:41.000 This is when I said, I think there's something happening with young people.

00:26:45.000 We showed up to Penn State for a prove me wrong and 3,500 people showed up.

00:26:50.000 Play cut 284.

00:26:52.000 I mean, that's real joy, by the way.

00:27:14.000 Not fake joy, right, Kane?

00:27:17.000 That's right.

00:27:18.000 That's real joy.

00:27:19.000 And only an athlete can toss MAGA hats.

00:27:22.000 You know, leftists can't throw frisbees and they can't throw hats.

00:27:25.000 There's a funny story.

00:27:25.000 Andrew struggled, actually.

00:27:27.000 I was able to throw those things like, what, 50 yards, right, Andrew?

00:27:30.000 Hold on.

00:27:31.000 Hold on.

00:27:32.000 I literally tried it once.

00:27:34.000 My job was to hand you the stack of hats and And then let you throw them.

00:27:38.000 You had to perfect your skill, your wrist action over time, so I'm told.

00:27:44.000 So I tried it once thinking it was going to be easy.

00:27:46.000 But I was fighting the wind at UGA. There was wind catching.

00:27:50.000 I don't want to hear it, Charlie.

00:27:52.000 I can throw a football 50 yards still.

00:27:54.000 By the 20th stop, I finally got the hang of it.

00:28:00.000 The 20th stop.

00:28:02.000 You know, let's not forget, let's not forget, Andrew was a first-team All-State, 6'2", 215-pound free safety who sometimes played corner in cover two zones.

00:28:15.000 So that's something I've learned in the last, I don't know, 72 minutes.

00:28:19.000 Is that right, Andrew?

00:28:20.000 These are secrets.

00:28:23.000 Although I will tell you, last night we spent time going through Charlie's high school basketball highlight reel.

00:28:31.000 Kane would actually like that, Charlie.

00:28:33.000 You should play it.

00:28:33.000 We're not going to spend time on our radio show on that, but it was funny stuff.

00:28:37.000 And I will explain in greater detail as we...

00:28:39.000 I don't want to yet go...

00:28:41.000 We will do a full multi-hour conversation as soon as Arizona is done counting its ballots, because I don't want to yet...

00:28:48.000 Because there's so much there, but this is not going to get any worse at this point, or...

00:28:55.000 Donald Trump, of all the seven battleground states, he won Georgia by two points.

00:29:01.000 He won North Carolina by three points.

00:29:03.000 Pennsylvania by one point.

00:29:04.000 Michigan by a point and a half.

00:29:07.000 Wisconsin by.9%,.9 under a point.

00:29:12.000 Nevada by four points.

00:29:14.000 Donald Trump is up five and a half points with 30% of the votes left to be counted in Arizona.

00:29:19.000 So Arizona is the best performing of the seven battleground states.

00:29:23.000 And remember, it was a Biden-flipped state where North Carolina was not.

00:29:30.000 And so Donald Trump flipped Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin from Biden.

00:29:36.000 Pretty extraordinary stuff.

00:29:37.000 If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:29:48.000 It's time to try Relief Factor.

00:29:50.000 And the good news is Relief Factor makes it quite easy.

00:29:53.000 Their three-week quick start is just $19.95, less than a dollar a day.

00:30:02.000 How?

00:30:38.000 Really quick, Blake, how did our pro-life fights go?

00:30:40.000 It could have been worse, could have been better.

00:30:41.000 Some of them were bad, but some of them it's like, okay, New York voted to protect abortion in their constitution.

00:30:46.000 And Arizona tragically did too.

00:30:47.000 The ones that were contested, Arizona, sadly, it did pass.

00:30:51.000 Colorado passed one, but the ones, and Missouri is probably the toughest one.

00:30:55.000 That was close.

00:30:56.000 Did we win or lose?

00:30:58.000 We lost.

00:30:58.000 51.7%.

00:30:59.000 What was the referendum?

00:31:00.000 It was to, I believe it protected abortion through viability, I think, in Missouri.

00:31:06.000 That's bad.

00:31:06.000 I know, it's bad.

00:31:08.000 So Arizona and Missouri are the same now?

00:31:10.000 Yes, basically.

00:31:11.000 That's great.

00:31:11.000 How did Missouri not defeat it?

00:31:13.000 You know, it was close, but not quite there.

00:31:17.000 So the good outcomes...

00:31:18.000 By the way, every state should do what Florida's done, which is you need 60%.

00:31:21.000 Yeah, so Florida, you needed 60%.

00:31:23.000 They only got 57.

00:31:25.000 That's amazing.

00:31:25.000 Good enough.

00:31:26.000 And so Heartbeat Bill lives in Florida.

00:31:27.000 Heartbeat Bill lives in Florida.

00:31:29.000 The other ones that were good, Nebraska had...

00:31:32.000 This is interesting.

00:31:33.000 They had two bills.

00:31:33.000 Yeah, this is what I was interested in.

00:31:34.000 Two measures.

00:31:35.000 One of them was...

00:31:37.000 Abortion legal through viability.

00:31:39.000 The other was ban abortion through 12 weeks as an initiated measure.

00:31:45.000 And it looks like that was kind of introduced to make sure that they would have a more moderate alternative to abortion basically through birth.

00:31:54.000 And so the through viability one failed.

00:31:57.000 It only got 49% of the vote.

00:31:59.000 And then the 12-week ban, everything after the first trimester ban, that passed 55% of the vote.

00:32:06.000 That's amazing.

00:32:07.000 So that won.

00:32:08.000 By the way, that was a very brilliant counter move because that other one would have passed, but this one got more votes.

00:32:13.000 But the one I'm proudest of is my home state, South Dakota.

00:32:17.000 That was Amendment G, abortion through viability in the state constitution.

00:32:22.000 Not only lost, it lost bad.

00:32:24.000 It only got 41% of the vote.

00:32:27.000 So, and South Dakota has a total ban on the books.

00:32:30.000 So that was, they had ban or through viability, and they voted down the through viability one decisively.

00:32:37.000 So that's a huge win.

00:32:39.000 Love it.

00:32:40.000 Hey, Kane, what other elements of this election do you think deserve attention that we haven't hit yet?

00:32:48.000 Well, just on what you were just discussing and sort of Missouri, how did Missouri, you know, 51 percent?

00:32:54.000 You know, I think Missouri is like Kentucky.

00:32:55.000 But I think the more important part of all these abortion referendums is looking at the separation.

00:33:01.000 That President Trump was able to disconnect.

00:33:03.000 You know, that was one of the places where he really, really stayed on message, was letting people know how he felt about IVF and how he felt about a federal ban on abortion and that he would He would veto it.

00:33:15.000 So I think he achieved great separation in Florida.

00:33:18.000 People who wanted to express their right to kill babies were able to still believe that President Trump was the right man to lead this country.

00:33:27.000 So I think that's one slight positive.

00:33:30.000 So other observations.

00:33:31.000 Here's an observation for you.

00:33:33.000 I think I texted this to you at 5.30 in the morning.

00:33:36.000 If TPUSA were a stock, I want to know how many pre-IPO shares Andrew and Blake would get.

00:33:43.000 Pre-IPO. They would do very, very well.

00:33:47.000 They would have a lot of lock-up.

00:33:50.000 There would be a significant lock-up period.

00:33:54.000 So not the normal six months.

00:33:55.000 You'd go six years.

00:33:57.000 That's right.

00:33:58.000 There would be a six-year lock-up.

00:34:00.000 That's exactly right, Cain.

00:34:01.000 Cain, this has just been the most amazing week.

00:34:03.000 By the way, do you know what happened two days ago?

00:34:06.000 I feel my nights and my mornings are all messed up.

00:34:10.000 Exactly.

00:34:11.000 It's really unbelievable.

00:34:13.000 It's actually 2 a.m.

00:34:13.000 right now, Charlie.

00:34:14.000 I was like, oh yeah, wait, I'm all messed up here.

00:34:18.000 So, Cain, in closing, this was a refutation of the American Democrat Party.

00:34:24.000 This was America trying to shed the woke mind virus once and for all.

00:34:31.000 Yeah, that's a nice way to look at it.

00:34:33.000 I'll do a slight pivot.

00:34:35.000 You know, people check out at the top of the stack right now, I think I've got tweets up there about Grand Canyon University and the celebration there.

00:34:43.000 And I want to mention, yeah, it was insane, right?

00:34:46.000 So you talked about Hillsdale College.

00:34:48.000 I would also recommend 16 and 17-year-old young men and women consider Grand Canyon.

00:34:53.000 What a place.

00:34:54.000 I've got another link in the stack about the party and the celebration at Auburn.

00:34:59.000 Unbelievable celebration at Auburn.

00:35:00.000 So it really was the young people.

00:35:02.000 And again, I'm not trying to butter you up, brother, but no one else was going to do this.

00:35:06.000 No one else had this idea and you made it happen.

00:35:09.000 You know, one last thing I'll mention just about the reach.

00:35:12.000 This isn't to toot the horn of Citizen Free Press, but just the reach of alternative media.

00:35:17.000 In the last three days, we've had 7 million unique people visit the homepage.

00:35:22.000 And as you know, no one links to my homepage.

00:35:25.000 There are no stories.

00:35:26.000 It's just a stack of headlines.

00:35:28.000 So 7 million people, that's 2% of the U.S. population, have come of their own volition in the last three days to the website.

00:35:36.000 Yesterday, it's already over and the numbers are down, but we peaked in a 24-hour period with 31.5 million page views.

00:35:46.000 I know there is no way Drudge is doing those numbers.

00:35:50.000 As you know, SimilarWeb is only an estimate, but they actually show that his traffic has fallen another 50% in the last four months.

00:35:58.000 Cain, you are the man.

00:36:00.000 Thank you, Cain.

00:36:01.000 God bless you, man.
