It is the start of a new week and we are in the final push here of the presidential election. This last weekend, Donald Trump made history. A triumphant return to where he was almost assassinated, to where he was shot. And the media's blackout of the Trump assassination attempt has been one of the more eerie news stories of the modern era.

That Donald Trump had a bullet grazed his ear. Where's the Hulu documentary? Where's the CNN special? Where's the 60 Minutes reports? Where is Anderson Cooper walking the line of Butler, Pennsylvania? There was more investigation into George Floyd overdosing on the side of the street than into Donald Trump getting shot.

Shot in the ear. More television investigation, that is. More interest. Now, Donald Trump had a decision to make. Do I return to Butler, Pennsylvania? Do I go back to the scene of the crime? You see, Donald Trump, he's running as an alpha male against, obviously, whatever the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz duo is. Going back to the scene of the crime, that takes some stones. Going back to the place where you were shot yesterday.

The crowd was remarkable. The media completely misrepresenting it. Tens of thousands of people as far as the eye could see, probably upwards of 50,000 people. And Donald Trump wanted every detail to be the same.

Donald Trump wanted the flag to be exactly the same. And as he approached the stadium, he said, as I was saying now, even if you're in the audience and you hate Donald Trump and you despise Donald Trump, this is without a doubt one of the most historic moments in political history. And it's just covered passively by the New York Times. New York Times instead came out with an article said Donald Trump's rhetoric is darker and angrier than ever before. Oh, I'm sorry. He got shot just a couple of weeks ago. His

His ear was the only barrier between a bullet going into his brain. He just happened to flip his head at the exact right moment, and it grazed his head. Go to cut one. Thank you. A very big thank you to Pennsylvania. We love Pennsylvania. And as I was saying...

Oh, I love that. I love that chart. I love that graph. Who do you want representing the United States of America to prevent World War III, to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? Who do you want in the room against Xi Jinping? Kamala Harris, who sits down with Alex Cooper this weekend, and we will be talking about that, or Donald Trump, who returns to the scene of where he was shot? Understand the profundity of

of what you're witnessing here. In the modern era, rarely do we get to see leaders under fire. Hundreds of years ago, it would be commonplace for leaders to go right into battle. George Washington famously would lead the American troops against the British. He would lead the colonists against the great British empire. We've had presidents that served on the front lines from Ulysses S. Grant

To many others. Andrew Jackson, a famous warrior from the Battle of New Orleans. We've gotten away from that. Where now our generals basically sit back and they never put themselves in harm's way. And they kind of just point and say, yeah, go invade there and do that. Generals have gone from front line operators to back room dealers and more politicians. And our leaders, politically, rarely ever...

See combat. Not that they don't serve, but even the ones that serve are rarely, rarely, rarely in the front lines. And you certainly don't get a chance to see it on television. It is very unique to see who a person is when their character is tested. And you saw that with Donald Trump. You had a moment, a glimpse. Does he run away? Does he go scared? And still to this moment, the activist media is saying, oh, Donald Trump's a coward and he's afraid. These are repulsive people.

Because when Donald Trump was shot, he ascended and said, fight, fight, fight. Donald Trump decided to go back to Butler, but he decided to go back on Saturday for a reason. Because Saturday is the kickoff of early voting in a lot of states across the country. Early voting is now operational in almost every county in Pennsylvania. It is open in Wisconsin. Early voting begins this Wednesday in Arizona.

Election Day is the last day of voting, not the first day of voting. Donald Trump has this shirt, but on huge signs at all those rallies now, vote early. If we are serious about fitting all of our voters into one day on Election Day, we're going to have long lines, machine tabulator failures, snowstorms, hurricanes, you name it. Instead, let's vote with our own convenience. Let's vote early.

There was another special guest at the rally this weekend of Donald Trump's historic and triumphant return where he faced death and God spared his life. It was the world's wealthiest man. Now, looking at the story of Elon Musk has been quite remarkable. Elon Musk started as a techie Obama bro. And you've seen this gradual development of Elon Musk in the last couple of years. It's of no consequence.

Those of us that have been following it, Elon Musk had one of his kids basically disappear because of the trans woke mind virus, a very sad story of the trans social contagion that took one of his kids from him.

Elon Musk has seen what the woke mind virus can do with its assault on free speech, its assault on fundamental liberties, lawfare. Elon Musk is worth $253 billion. And Elon Musk is on a crusade to save the civilization that he loves, that gave him so much. Now, prior to Elon Musk endorsing Trump and spending about $150 million on this election,

He was treated well by the media. That's before, of course, he purchased Twitter X and liberated it. Elon Musk used to be on the front page of every magazine. The CEO of Tesla. The CEO of SpaceX. The most loved and adored man in media. But not anymore. Elon Musk is no longer...

The darling of the tech community, Elon Musk, is now a villain. Elon Musk is mocked. He is slandered. They want to put him in jail. And we are now seeing this combination of forces where Donald Trump and Elon Musk have something in common, something fundamental.

They are both class traitors. They both do not need to be doing this. Donald Trump, a billionaire. Elon Musk, a super billionaire. They don't need to be involved in this fight. Elon Musk and Donald Trump do not need to be in the arena. They're doing this for the betterment of the nation. They're doing this for the betterment of their kids and grandkids. They're doing this for free speech, for the restoration and protection of the United States Constitution.

And now as we are seeing the kickoff of early voting, we are entering the final phase where it's going to be all about turnout. The final push for voter registration, the final thrust into the arena. And Elon Musk is putting his wealth, his fortune and yes, his sacred honor at risk.

And the media is losing because Elon Musk was supposed to be like all the other tech bros. He was supposed to be like Mackenzie Bezos, was supposed to be like Green Pal Jobs, supposed to be like Mark Benioff. Obedient. Yes, sir. Where do I send the check to get the Democrat elected? But Elon Musk is a free thinker. And I'm going to play some pieces of tape of Elon Musk on his first public appearance at a MAGA rally this weekend in Butler, Pennsylvania. You are witnessing history, everybody.

Check it out. MyPhDWeightLoss.com. God spared the life of President Trump, and our movement is alive and well. Elon Musk has been on an ideological journey. You see, Elon Musk loves truth. When you are building a rocket ship,

When you are trying to get satellites into orbit, when you are building an electrical car, when you're trying to drill holes underneath the earth, which is the boring company, you must love truth. You see, when you try to put a rocket ship into orbit, your opinion really doesn't matter much. You must be a stickler for what is. What does the formula say? What does the math say? You see, Elon Musk has designed his life around

What is the truth? And that has led Elon Musk on a very powerful and albeit exciting to witness philosophical and ideological journey. Elon Musk, loving truth, has brought him now away from Team Left and Team Blue and towards President Trump's movement. A man that prior Elon Musk did not care for. He said, I don't like the personality of Donald Trump. But Elon Musk has the intellectual maturity to

and depth to understand that this is greater and deeper than Donald Trump, that Donald Trump is a symbol for the restoration of normal Western civilization, that Donald Trump is the mascot of the movement. He is the leader of the movement so that we can continue to have free speech. How can you find truth without free speech?

And Elon Musk has probably built out this formula, this equation in his head. Wait a second. I want to go to Mars. How can we ever have the technological innovation to get to Mars if people cannot speak freely, if we cannot have a dialectic, if we cannot have discourse, if we believe that men give birth and there's 57 genders and that truth is all in the eye of the beholder? How are we ever going to have scientific innovations or breakthroughs? And the answer is you won't.

Instead, you'll have a tyrannical regime that sets in. And that is exactly what the Democrat Party represents. They represent one of locking up their political opponents, of keeping the borders wide open. Elon Musk took the stage in support of Donald Trump. This is an amazing moment, largely ignored by the media. I mean, the media took it and then they kind of moved on. This is one of the most powerful political endorsements in the modern era. The world's wealthiest man.

who has nothing to gain and everything to lose, getting behind what is deemed as the most controversial political figure, this represents the unity party. And this is exactly in the spirit of the founding fathers. What Elon Musk and Donald Trump are attempting to do together is to revitalize the spirit of 1776.

To bring back the promise of 1787, of Madison, of Jefferson, of Hamilton, and Jay. The separation of powers and the consent of the governed. And to reject the new Leviathan that is currently suffocating the country. Play cut four. Well, first of all, I want to say what an honor it is to be here. And, you know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire.

And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight. Blood coming down the face. This is no ordinary election, Elon says. And Elon is right. This election is about civilizational survival. Will we continue as a people that value freedom of dialogue?

individual rights, fundamental human equality. Will we continue the promise that all men are created equal or will we enter into a darker chapter that we are just seeing the coming attractions of? Play cut six. This is this is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms that they want to. It's where they want to take away your right to vote effectively.

You've got 14 states now that don't require voter ID. California, where I used to live, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting. How are you supposed to have a proper election if there's no ID? It's meaningless.

And free speech, free speech is the bedrock of democracy. Unlike many of the wealthy elite of our country, Elon Musk has actually created real things. And he is stepping in where the government is failing. Entrepreneurs are saving lives on the ground in North Carolina. Not only was Elon at the rally, let's put cut 11 up. He was jumping enthusiastically.

Now, here's more about Elon Musk. I've studied Elon for quite a while. I read the Walter Isaacson book on Elon Musk. Elon is a phenomenal example of a uniquely American person who is the anti-bureaucrat. If you were to describe Elon succinctly, his entire life story is the fight against the bureaucracy.

Now, at times he gets himself in trouble because he is such a cold blooded killer. He'll just fire people because he doesn't like their work. No emotion whatsoever. And that has gotten him trouble a couple of times. But in a world where we are overly regulated, where we have burdensome rules, where we hyper police people's speech, where we do not have a culture of innovation.

or risk-taking, or ingenuity, Elon Musk is a breath of fresh air of somebody who is willing to risk everything, bet on himself, and go up against the overly bureaucratic culture that we live in. From his taking on the car industry and building now the most valuable car company in the world, to taking on NASA and betting everything on this idea that we can have a private aerospace company.

to building Starlink, to the Boring Company, to then, of course, now taking over Twitter and X. Elon Musk runs circles around John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie, and that is saying a lot. It is hard to even put into words the impact what Elon Musk is having on our civilization, and he is doing it for good, from rescuing astronauts to, yes, also protecting

making the federal government look like a bunch of buffoons in Western North Carolina. So North Carolina, they are without internet service. And the government, the FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, they're very, very slow. Not an impressive group of people. Now some of them I'm sure are good and they're trying their best, but it is typical government bureaucrats. Now Elon Musk has developed a way that all humanity,

can get internet. And it's called Starlink. Starlink is a satellite internet operator, which is owned by SpaceX, that blasts in internet coverage to communities, to towns, that might not have internet. Now famously, Elon Musk was able to help parts of Ukraine,

during the Ukrainian war with Starlink services. He refused, by the way, to shut off internet service and satellite coverage when Ukraine wanted to start a nuclear war against Russia. Very interesting. But North Carolina is completely demolished. So Elon Musk has come in and has turned on Starlink to millions of people in North Carolina. And the media has

refuses to even say, thank you, Elon Musk. The government does not have this ability. I want you to understand this. The government has a $6 trillion annual budget. $6 trillion annual budget. Elon Musk is a net worth of $250 billion. He should be a hero that should be lauded on every single television program. The front page of the New York Times should say, Elon Musk saves lives in North Carolina. Instead,

He gets attacked and mocked and ridiculed. Why? Oh, because he endorsed Donald Trump, which is a very important lesson. You are graded as either a good person or an evil person in the modern era based solely on your politics.

Your politics determine your moral worth. They're in no gray area. If you are saving babies and saving lives and turning on the internet, but you happen to be wearing a black MAGA hat, evil person. If you happen to be a disgusting human being, but you like Kamala Harris, you're a good person. The new moral grading system that the media has put forward

Is that you become a better person or a worse person based solely on your politics? Watch this play cut eight. And I will say that Elon Musk is perhaps the world's leading spreader of disinformation, including outright lies about hurricane relief, about illegal immigrants. We've seen him do that in the last couple of weeks. And then on Saturday.

He steps on stage with Donald Trump with one of the less athletic leaps I've ever seen as he bounded his way on stage with Trump. Yeah, making fun of his ability to jump. Elon Musk should just buy MSNBC for fun and fire all these people for sport and then spit it back out. It would be a rounding error for Elon Musk's net worth. It's also what Elon Musk does at his events. He jumps up and down. He's a unique guy.

Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right? Well, one thing your dog can't do without you is improve their diet or health to feel their best. That is why I believe Rough Greens could dramatically help your best friend by adding what is missing to their diet like you do. Rough Greens is helping thousands and thousands of dogs feel better and live longer, including my dog, Mr. Briggs, who loves it.

Okay.

Omega oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and antioxidants. Dr. Black is offering you a free jumpstart trial bag. So fetch your free jumpstart trial bag. Just cover shipping. Don't change your dog's food. Just go to roughgreens.com slash Kirk. R-U-F-F greens.com slash Kirk. But this is why they hate Elon. Even though Elon Musk is saving the day with rescue efforts. Elon Musk is making Pete Buttigieg or whatever his name is. Buttigieg.

Look like a complete buffoon. No, they really hate Elon Musk because he's reminding you that this is a must win situation, that this might be the last election, that there might not be an election after this, that of all the elections that we've lived through, this might be

The final one, play cut seven. This is a must-win situation, must win. So I have one ask for everyone in the audience, everyone who watches this video, everyone in the live stream. This one request is very important. Register to vote, okay? And get everyone you know...

And everyone you don't know, drag them to register to vote. There's only two days left to register to vote in Georgia and Arizona. 48 hours. Text people now. Now. And then make sure they actually do vote. Today is the last day in Arizona and Georgia.

Get it done right now. Just this last weekend, I registered three voters to vote as I was going on a walk. People want a selfie. I said, I only take selfies with registered voters. By the way, just so we're clear, we did not max out all of our Trump supporters that we could have in voter registration numbers. I wish we would have worked harder. We tried our best to try to push you guys to push this audience. But right now, as we are sitting here, there are millions of people out there that love Trump that refuse to get registered to vote. I hope it's enough.

I know it's hard. I know that it takes a lot of work. Today is the last day, though. A woman emailed us right here. Charlie, how do I register to vote? I don't understand how to do it. Sent her the link. It's tpaction.com slash vote. She says, my husband is registered in Utah, and I have never voted. By the way, this is a woman who watches our show routinely and has never voted before. Remember, if you willingly don't vote, you are letting the Democrats win, and you are a loser.

Let me say that again. If you willingly don't vote, you are letting the Democrats win. And yes, you get no right to complain, but you are of a lower moral standing in my view if you do not vote. I really believe that. I think that you actively are making a quasi-evil decision against the civilization if you don't vote. I really believe that.

That if you watch this program and you show up to rallies and you hope things get better and you have kids and you can't take five minutes to fill out a ballot or a piece of paper, Donald Trump, Carrie Lake, David Schweiker. Okay, go through the list. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Vote no on 138. Thank you very much. Put it in the mail.

You get no right to complain and you are complicit with the Democrats. Not voting is a ticket to tyranny. Not voting, you might as well just wear your Kamala Harris shirt. It's the smallest, most micro thing you can do. And this Wednesday, ballots get sent out all across the valley in Arizona. And at the end of business today, voter registration closes in Arizona. And there are hundreds of thousands,

Hundreds of thousands of people in Arizona.

And that love Trump that ended up not getting registered to vote. I'll tell you about one of them. One guy that I know. And he's like, oh, yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'm going to pester him one more time today. He's like, ah, it's just kind of a waste of time. Now, I'm never going to talk to this guy again. I know exactly his name. I got his phone number. I tried and I tried and I tried over 20 times to pester him to register to vote. Just a typical lazy, you know, 28 year old who says he likes Trump. He wanted a selfie one time. And I just I think very low of him now.

I think he's just kind of a bum. And there's a lot of people like that. But don't be like that. Text this to every one of your friends. This is the deadline right here. It is tpaction.com slash vote. In Arizona and Georgia, the deadline is over. The cake is baked. It is sealed. We have to deal with the voter list that is permanent tonight. You guys remember throughout the summer when we had the bearded Viking on? Remember when I kept on telling you guys over and over and over and over again, got to register to vote, got to register to vote. Well, today's the last day.

And if we lose, it'll be because we did not do enough work to register voters. And last week, we registered 750 new voters for Trump last week. 750 new voters for Trump just at Grand Canyon University. Voting costs you nothing. Abstaining may cost you everything. Abstaining from voting could cost you the entire civilization.

This is the most simple, most basic thing you can do. And most importantly, go find five new people and get them registered to vote. And as soon as the sun sets today in Arizona, the voter list is done. It is complete. Finito. Over.

The good news is that we are crushing Democrats and voter registration in Arizona. We are crushing them because we put such an emphasis on it, because we put so much work into it, because we are putting so much energy and spirit and enthusiasm behind it. But I got to tell you guys, it's going to be really tight. And if we would have worked even harder over the summer, this thing would not have been close. But it is what it is. I understand a lot of people had barbecues to get to and TV shows to watch. I get it. We live in a very wealthy society and it's

watching football games is obviously more important than serving the country. If you personally did not register 50 people to vote, then you're just kind of hoping. And that's fine. You can hope. But there's nothing that prevented us from becoming one-stop shop voter registration machines, except we just didn't want the country to be saved. And that's honestly, when it comes down to it, a lot of people hope things get better, but they really don't want the country to be saved that bad because they got to watch football. A year ago was October 7th. And

We must remember what exactly happened that day. One of the most horrific days in the history of the Jewish people. These terrorists had GoPro cameras, went after nurseries, children, kibbutzes, schools. It was like a Holocaust attempted to be live streamed. They were not trying to go after military installations. They were not trying to go after tanks. They were not trying to go after members of the IDF. They targeted civilians with intentionality.

It's one of the most evil days that we've seen. Families burned alive. And I think you have a moral obligation to look into what happened on October 7th if you do not know that. You see, the savages and the Islamists of Hamas did this with glee and with joy. They went into the rave music festival, kidnapped people.

young women and men. They went and burned babies alive and laughed about it and live streamed it. This is the heart of Hamas. It is the heart of the Palestinian Authority. Rape women and then cut their throats. They planned this with meticulous detail for quite some time. And October 7th has then started this sequence of events of protests in America,

of Israel taking back Gaza, of now the Israeli Hezbollah conflict, of Iran launching missiles into the homeland of America. And this is the important takeaway. October 7th never would have happened if Donald Trump was president. And I hope every Jewish voter out there is listening. And this should be sent to all the Jews in your life, that if you vote for Kamala Harris,

You are jeopardizing the safety and security of the Jewish people and of Israel. Donald Trump never would have allowed this to happen. Donald Trump cut money off to Iran. These terrorists wouldn't dare doing this when Trump was president. But it's when Biden and Harris were running the country that it was open season for the Jews. And look at how much it has impacted our politics. It has impacted our politics so much that the vice presidential nominee should be Josh Shapiro.

The Democrats would be in a better place if Josh Shapiro was the VP nominee for the Democrats. You don't hear from Shapiro anymore. He's kind of just disappeared. But as a reaction to October 7th, the Jew-hating base of the Democrat Party, they would not be able to stomach or tolerate Josh Shapiro being on the ticket.

Donald Trump supports Israel and the Jewish people. And I understand Kamala Harris is going to win a majority of the Jewish vote, which is perplexing to me. Kamala Harris will win a lot of Jewish voters because a lot of Jews are just stalwart Democrats, even though the Democrats have a Hamas wing of their party. In Arizona, there's anywhere between 60,000 to 70,000 registered Jews that vote in elections.

In Pennsylvania, it's two to three hundred thousand. This could tip the entire election. This could determine the entire civilization. And here on October 7th, we remember what happened and we remember those deadly Hamas attacks against all the innocents. And then we you know, we say never again. But how can you say never again and then vote for Democrats? You can't. You cannot say vocally never again and then also vote for a Democrat because you're making it happen again.

Because the Democrats are housing, facilitating, nurturing, and cultivating the next October 7th. The next October 7th is being cultivated by the Democrat Party in this country. So if you hated what happened on October 7th, which of course you should, and you thought it was evil, then you should leave the Democrat Party and tell your friends to do the same. And we remember the horrors of what happened a year ago.
