Charlie Kirk:本期节目讨论了特朗普在2024年美国大选中取得的意外胜利,分析了年轻选民、TikTok、民调等因素对选举结果的影响,并对未来政治走向进行了展望。节目中嘉宾们分享了大量第一手资料和数据,并对民主党在选举中的失误进行了批评。 Andrew:年轻选民在选举中起到了关键作用,他们的投票意向在选举前几周才开始明朗。团队在选举周期中保持了良好的纪律性,这有助于他们观察到年轻选民的投票趋势变化。 Ryan:TikTok 是衡量年轻选民投票意向的重要指标,10月7日发生的TikTok事件对民主党造成了重大打击。国会对TikTok的禁令被撤销,这被认为是帮助共和党赢得年轻选民支持的关键因素。Turning Point USA 在TikTok上获得了极高的浏览量,这表明他们的宣传活动取得了显著成效。根据NBC新闻的出口民调显示,共和党赢得了威斯康星州和密歇根州的年轻选民支持。拜登在18至29岁年轻选民中的支持率远高于哈里斯,这预示着民主党未来的政治前景堪忧。哈里斯在年轻女性选民中的支持率低于预期,而特朗普赢得了年轻男性选民的支持,这在几十年来还是第一次。 Blake:民主党将选民群体划分得过于细致,并对这些群体进行攻击,导致选民反感。民主党对选民身份认同的过度关注,激起了选民的反感。民主党在2020年和2022年采取的措施,例如弗洛伊德事件后的骚乱、疫情期间的封锁等,激起了民怨,导致选民对特朗普的支持。选民将特朗普视为一种载体,代表着他们对民主党不满的一种表达。此次选举并非对特朗普个人的投票,而是对一种世界观的投票。 Scott Presler:选民登记工作对选举结果有重大影响,通过努力能够改变蓝墙州的选举结果。Early Vote Action 在宾夕法尼亚州登记了5万名共和党选民。在宾夕法尼亚州,共和党成功争取到了多米尼加和波多黎各裔社区的支持。在本次选举周期中,坚持不懈和决心至关重要,不要听信那些否定你的人。 Rich Baris:民主党的一些长期支持者在本次选举中转向支持特朗普,这表明民主党失去了部分选民的支持。特朗普在本次选举中的胜利并非仅仅依靠白人工薪阶层选民的支持,而是获得了更广泛的支持。特朗普在一些富裕地区也获得了显著的支持,这表明他的支持者群体更加多元化。特朗普在佛罗里达州的表现也优于预期,这表明他的支持者群体在不断扩大。特朗普在北卡罗来纳州的表现也优于预期,这表明他的支持者群体在不断扩大。草根运动在本次选举中发挥了关键作用,这表明草根力量对选举结果有重大影响。在密歇根州,一些组织成功地动员了大量的低投票率选民,这在一定程度上影响了选举结果。在亚利桑那州,特朗普的领先优势可能会进一步扩大。在亚利桑那州,凯里·莱克有可能赢得选举。亚利桑那州的选举管理存在问题,这需要进行改进。在内华达州,萨姆·布朗有可能赢得参议员选举。在内华达州,草根运动在动员选民方面发挥了重要作用。特朗普在年轻选民中的表现好于预期。民调在预测老年选民的投票意向方面存在问题。安·塞尔特在民调预测方面存在问题,她的民调结果与实际选举结果存在较大偏差。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why did younger voters shift towards Trump in this election?

Younger voters, particularly young men, shifted towards Trump because they viewed him as a vessel for a broader worldview that resonated with their desire for independence and defiance against woke ideologies. TikTok played a significant role as a gauge of sentiment, and Trump's unfiltered, authentic communication style on the platform appealed to them.

How did Trump's campaign strategy differ from traditional political campaigns?

Trump's campaign strategy focused on long-form podcasting and social media engagement, which allowed for more authentic and unscripted conversations. This approach resonated with independent swing voters who were tired of canned, workshopped responses and wanted real, unfiltered dialogue.

What role did grassroots efforts play in Trump's victory?

Grassroots efforts, including voter registration drives and on-the-ground organizing, were crucial. Groups like Early Vote Action registered 50,000 new Republicans in Pennsylvania, and Turning Point USA's campus events reached millions of views, significantly contributing to Trump's margin of victory.

Why did Hispanics, particularly in states like Pennsylvania, shift towards Trump?

Hispanics, fed up with the Democrats' focus on identity politics and economic policies that didn't benefit them, shifted towards Trump. They wanted good jobs, a safe country, and rising wages, which they believed Trump's policies would deliver better than Harris's.

How did the media's coverage of Trump and Harris influence the election outcome?

The media's relentless negative coverage of Trump, including calling him a Nazi and a fascist, backfired as it energized his base. Conversely, the lack of substantive coverage of Harris's accomplishments or policy positions left voters unimpressed and skeptical of her candidacy.

What was the significance of Trump's victory for the future of the Republican Party?

Trump's victory demonstrated the enduring strength of populist and anti-establishment sentiments within the Republican base. It also highlighted the importance of authenticity and direct engagement with voters, signaling a shift away from traditional, scripted political communication.

How did the election results reflect on the Democrats' strategy and messaging?

The election results were a repudiation of the Democrats' focus on identity politics and woke ideology. Voters, particularly younger and Hispanic voters, rejected the divisive rhetoric and sought a more inclusive and economically focused agenda, which they found in Trump's message.

What impact did the election have on the perception of the ruling class?

The election was seen as a massive 'F you' to the ruling class, indicating that voters were fed up with being told what to think and how to vote. It demonstrated a significant backlash against the elite's control over media, culture, and politics, asserting voter sovereignty.

Look, one of the things that

I just talked to an NPR reporter. I have to give our team credit. We had remarkable discipline this cycle. Wouldn't you say, Andrew? We always do. Well, hold on. No, I mean like really good discipline considering how much we talk and how much we're on camera. We saw something happening with younger voters first last semester. We saw something bubbling up. Then all of a sudden in –

Like September, we're like, yo, this is not normal. And then about three weeks out from the election, we started whispering. We're like, we might not just lose by less.

Yeah. And we, we, yeah, we, we, I, we knew that by the end that we were going to win the men, the young male vote. We knew that. Yeah. And, and just, but TikTok was our gauge. And again, I will go back to this October 7th. We'll go back to the day that broke the back of the Democrat party. And I will, I, Tyler agrees with this. Number one, TikTok got blamed by some pro Israel advocates as to why young people were turning their back on Israel. The TikTok ban was dead.

And then all of a sudden, TikTok got resurrected saying that we must. And Mitt Romney, by the way, said this. It's not my words. Mitt Romney said this at a forum, right? Saying that we need to ban TikTok because it's turning young people against Israel. TikTok gets banned by the Congress. Biden signs it. We reach out being like, hey, you guys keep on treating us bad. Can you treat us fairly? And they were like, yeah, of course. And what are the numbers, Ryan? I mean, the numbers are just like.

Just out of control right now. I mean, yesterday, just yesterday alone, we got 71 million views on TikTok. 71 million views on TikTok yesterday. Yeah.

Okay? I mean, it's seismic. We gained $650,000. So we saw something happening with younger voters. That's an addition to what we're doing on the ground, in addition with registering voters. Andrew, what is the exit poll showing with younger voters? How did we do? I'm having Danny consolidate all this, by the way. I don't have all the states, but I'll tell you two right off the top. Wisconsin, this exit poll by NBC News, Harris got 51, Trump got 47. Michigan. Michigan.

Harris got 46. Trump got 51. We won the youth vote in Michigan. Now, statewide, check this out. Listen to this just incredible paragraph. Biden won 18 to 29-year-olds. I'm reading from Puck News. Peter Hamby, he's a CNN contributor panelist. Biden won 18 to 29-year-olds by a massive 25-point margin. Harris won them by only 13 points marginally.

Put bluntly, her performance among young voters was an abject disaster for Democrats and a troubling omen for the party's political future. The youth gender gap that was supposed to favor Harris, with an army of young women showing up under the battle flag of abortion, never materialized.

Yes, Harris won young women by 20 points, but she was supposed to do even better. The gold standard Harvard youth poll had her winning those women by 30 points just a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, Donald Trump won young men by 10 points, flipping them from Biden. And for the first time in decades, Republicans won young white voters outright. It's unbelievable. I mean, what's your take on that, Blake? It's just, it's...

I don't even know where to begin in terms of how badly the party allowed themselves to be led astray, where they spent years basically constantly expanding the group of people that you had to hate. They should always level up, so they're going to bash...

You for being male. They're going to bash you for being white. We're probably going to get people like these think pieces on like Hispanic men and how they're like too toxically masculine to be trusted. And what did Joy Reid do last night when the results didn't look good? She started doing this sickening bit on, oh, white women in America decided to vote on race instead of gender.

It's what they've always been doing. And I think the most important narrative to take away from last night is the country revolted against this sick hegemony that you need to obsess about these identity categories and that that's all that matters. Again, I'm so tired. I'm not thinking as crisply as I should, but they they made this an unhappy country. They did Floyd.

Like the Floyd of Palooza. Like they did race riots. They did all the stuff that we saw in 2020 with all of the health stuff. They robbed young people of their proms and their graduations. And they were the ones that were like, you have to wear this mask when you're alone. They were so insistent that they were begging for a backlash. And what they didn't understand is that like,

The American people were like, okay, I guess it's the Trump guy. Give me a reason. Oh, Tulsi. Got it. Bobby. Got it. Elon. Got it. They just got it. They run. You go on the New York Times right now and they'll say, like, Trump wins after dark campaign. You guys, your closing message was Hitler and genocide, that Trump will commit genocide. That was their closing message. And Trump is... He's actually a very funny guy. He's going to do the McDonald's thing. He's going to do the garbage man thing. He'll...

He makes funny stuff. He'll go on podcasts and just talk to the guy for three hours. It's actually there's something hugely positive about that. What I'm getting that is that what it's very clear this election people viewed Trump as a vessel. They did. They viewed him as a placeholder of a broader and that is very rare to happen in politics. Yes. And it's interesting.

Everyone thinks that Trump personalized politics. Last night was actually a depersonalization election. Trump, okay, 40%. You keyed in on this, by the way. You kept saying the 5,000 people. I'm telling you. And people were like, got it. And by the way, seen by 80 million people on TikTok, that one video, right? People are like, oh my goodness, got it. Trump is about worldview. It's not about him. It's not about his behavior. I'm voting for a worldview. And that's an incredibly mature thing.

voting like that's very wise right to say it's not about him or what he does doesn't do or like january 6 i don't care about that it's about i want like these simple five things and they resisted all the that's the other part i have another part i woke up to use the restroom between 3 30 and 4 45 minutes of sleep and i was like oh my goodness yes the american people successfully resisted

The most aggressive propaganda we've seen since COVID. Think about it. I mean, it was full. She wasn't taking questions. It was Brad summer. It was vibes. We were at the DNC, right? Andrew. Oh my gosh. And we were like, are the American people going to fall for this? Not only did they not like it's the whole country said no, no, no.

That is the greatest red pill, white pill, that the American people can actually weigh the options in a 90-day period and say, no, actually, she's not popular. I don't like her. She's done a bad job. And it doesn't matter how many TV ads you run about her. She has no accomplishments. She has no accomplishments. It doesn't matter if you say she's for the middle class. I don't believe you because I'm going to think independently. And one last point. I know I'm on a rant here, but –

Podcasting is the new medium that if you can't ball on a long-form podcast, you will not win respect of independent swing voters. It's like the new... You remember 2004? Like, who would you rather have a beer with? Yes. And they would say that... It was funny that they'd say it for Bush, who didn't drink. But... And also for Trump, who doesn't drink. And... But...

Now what it is, is could I have a real conversation with this person? Could this person say something that's not a canned, workshopped, memorized response? Yeah. Like people have gotten very tired of that type of politics and Trump doesn't follow that type of politics. Vance doesn't follow that type of politics. They're able to actually talk like a human being. But the important part is it's not, it's not all personality.

They sold the personality and they tried to sink him on the personality. It's that because he was willing to do that, the worldview bled through and it finally cracked through. And this is what they're most scared of. And this is why we talked about the history with,

McCain and Flake opposing Trump. It wasn't even about Trump. The reason why they opposed Trump so much is because he wanted to come here and do an anti-illegal immigration rally, which was the first thing. And they saw that that worldview being able to seep in was going to be uber destructive to the future of what they could control. Those of you guys watching, if you want to become a member and get a signed MAGA hat, it's members.charliekirk.com. By the way, we're coming out with limited edition

hats soon that are white and gold that say 47 on them. Do you see those, Tyler? We're only going to make a couple of those and we're going to be doing a giveaway for those later. It's literally white and gold with the number 47 on it.

It's pretty cool, right? Limited edition turning point hat coming. I think I have an image I can show. We'll be talking about that later. By the way, we're going to be streaming tonight, right, Tyler? Guys, we're going to keep streaming. I mean, this is what we may never stop streaming. We'll have news. And I'm also going to be on Fox tonight, which I have to say, I will say, I said this last night. I meant it. Fox news showed leadership last night in calling Pennsylvania when they did. It was, it was really important in information warfare. And I,

I think people need to really respect that. Okay, an unnamed reporter just texted me. Wow, huge congrats, man. In the next few days, I'm going to be writing a whole piece on how Gen Zers powered so much of the outcome. So when you get a chance, just shovel me some facts that you're seeing and some data, and then I'll probably want a CK quote to help summarize. Anyways, it's just...

this narrative is, it's a narrative because it's true. I mean, young people showed up for Donald Trump and we have billions of views. But look, it's also just, I gotta give Tyler credit. Tyler, get back here for a second. 12 years. We built this thing of chapters, high schools. I mean, like to understand this was a bubbling up effect of us. Understand what we, it took us five years to figure out what the heck we were doing. Right. It,

But there's steps to this. No, but again, it's steps. And again, we were underestimated. We were all these groups ridiculed, leaked against. We were called fledgling organization. All the other players in the space said, no, we built, we built, we built, we built, we built. And it's like, as if God was preparing us for this moment. Well, here's the funny part. I really believe that. I do too. Here's the funny part too. It's not, they act. Some of these pieces were acting like we're so inexperienced. We, I was the chairman of the largest County in America, uh,

I've been we've been on the RNC. We literally took out Rana like the RNC. By the way, we huge reason why yesterday we run the biggest events in America. And we Charlie's literally has the number two radio show in America right now behind Joe Rogan behind Joe Rogan podcast podcast. But we have the on top of that, we have the largest chapter model in America on the left or the right.

And we've built over years two of the largest ones to see. I've got more doors than anyone that I know. And I'm telling you right now, this is it just makes me laugh when I see this is like they act like we're new to organizing. No, we've I actually have we have an entire team that has resumes that are as big as phone books on on organizing power.

And the fact that they are so aloof and have no idea what's going on around them, that's a reporting problem. That's a simply look on LinkedIn problem, which is public, right? If you haven't been paying attention to what we've been building the last 12 years, you are literally living under a rock. Well, they actively want it. Can I also say one other thing? The popular vote is not insignificant in a way where

The Democrats were always trying to get rid of the likes for college through that. Yeah. And guys, like, that's Gen Z powered. Like, you do not win the popular vote. And Hispanics. Think about it, though. I mean, that's not just regional. You know what I'm saying? Millennial and Gen Z together. And you know who roared more than any other?

I sent the tweet this morning. What generation roared? Boomers were underwhelming. Xers. I said Gen X saves America. I said Elon, Dana. Latchkey kids, man. These kids. They remember America. They finally stepped up. Yeah. Finally stepped up. Angela was like, we finally did something. This was the coming out party for Gen Xers. My parents are old Gen Xers.

which is really weird, right? They're super young parents. I'm the oldest in my family. But Gen Xers, historically, we talk about this all the time, have had zero political involvement their entire lives. The Xers are saving the country. They stepped up. By the way, Matt Walsh just tweeted, now that the election is over, I think we can finally say that, yeah, actually, product 2025 is the agenda. LOL. Benny did the same.

I mean, it's a good joke. I mean, it's better Benny does it than... People might take Walsh pretty literally there. Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com. He's got to go cure ballots or stuff. Come back tonight. We'll be here this afternoon. We'll talk. Hopefully have great news and a great report on what's happening in Arizona and Nevada. Become a member. Members.charliekirk.com.

Rush, this victory was for you, man. You were the architect of the grassroots populist movement. This was a Rush Limbaugh inspired, right? Rush Limbaugh, in some ways, this is still the country that he helped create, helped

By the way, Department of Justice moving to wind down Trump criminal cases before he takes office. Sorry, Jack. Imagine like doing all that work for two years and then it's just, oh, so let's talk about this now. And again, we can talk. We're getting a little bit into governing.

I'm pushing for pardons for every January 6th guy that was nonviolent. And if they were violent, I think they got to be treated more fairly. And Trump has pledged to do it, by the way. Day one, we're going to get Siaka Masakwai, right? Andrew, we're getting that guy completely cleared up. He's a good man. By the way, we need a list of every one of these. By the way, Steve managed to get a full pardon from the federal government, right? Peter Navarro, full pardon, federal government. All these pro-life people.

We need a list of people. Trump has got to go on a pardon spree. There's so much stuff you could do. Guys, we did it. It's not speculative. Daylight spree. And also just you can release all the 9-11 documents. Do a Twitter files thing. Let's say we're not going to have the government tell social media who to censor anymore. Or if we do, we're going to say it all in public. Like, oh, if you think something should be taken down, we're not going to hide it and lie about it. There's so much you can do. And by the way, for those abortion activists that were praying outside of the clinics, the pro-life activists, I mean –

They get a pardon, right? I mean, these January 6 people that are still in pretrial detention, we've got to get that all sorted out, right? And again, if they assault the police officers, I think they've got to serve time if they were violent. But there are a lot of people that weren't. I mean, this is really, really big. The pardon power is huge. How much do you want to bet the Ukrainian war is over in the next 30 days? That Zelensky tweet was, like, long. He wrote a really long piece. They know. They know. They know.

If he ends the war before, it's like promises made, promises delivered. Biden expected to speak to Donald Trump by phone and offer his congratulations and also planning to address the nation tomorrow. He should have spoken before Kamala. Guys, do you know what's so amazing? They set the rules here. They can't deny it. They can't reject it. They have to just accept it, right? So make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. Saul Linsky 101.

Email me freedom at charliekirk.com. What are you most excited about him doing? I'm actually, I'm excited. I want to read that. Freedom at charliekirk.com. Also email me, what were you doing last night? Pictures, videos. I want to see it. I want to see the celebrations from the faithful. Email me freedom at charliekirk.com. By the way, Andrew, do you know how many emails I got last night?

26,000 emails. Oh, on Freedom? Did you read them all? That's always your pledge. Last night I did not say that. My total inbox, I'm just looking at it now, my total Gmail inbox, and I've had it for a decade, is 21,492. So just in one night, 25,000. Man, the popular vote is huge. That is such a mandate. I'm shocked. But what is the margin of popular vote? How much is he going to win it by?

Probably like two, three million. That's unbelievable. Yeah. Once California gets fully counted. Yeah. California. He's only losing count only by 17. He cut that deficit in half. It's crazy.

Guys, get your tickets to AmFest. That's AmFest.com. It will be the largest conservative and most amazing conservative. We are going to sell out. This event will sell out. It's AmFest.com. A-M-F-E-S-T.com. That is AmFest.com. We got Tucker. We got the biggest people in the entire movement. Let's just say our guest list and our speaker list is about to balloon significantly.

I think we're going to be fine. Lauren's like, we need to get our tickets up. I'm like, we're good. We're good. This thing's going to be. Amfest.com. Just a reminder, guys. I think we're just going to stream all day here. I think we're just going to eat lunch here. I think we're just going to. I mean, what else are we going to do? All we do is be on our computers looking at the results anyway. No, exactly. We just got to get. We got to get more. We got to get more. I'm just. I really am looking forward to. We'll get more of these. But the, you know, the postmortems by people on the left.

really just digging into what a disaster it was there's this like far left columnist named Sam Chris he had this hilarious one did I post this somewhere in here let me find it he

He's like, he's doing this whole thing. Do you remember Brat Summer? I remember Brat Summer. It was genuinely amazing. One of the most bizarre mass psychological phenomena I have ever seen. I totally agree with this, by the way. Before a clock spring popped out of Joe Biden's forehead on live TV, Kamala Harris was the least popular vice president in U.S. history. He just...

Just uncorks on them. And doughy old columnist transformed overnight to 13 year old girls in lip gloss. You you're like totally weird. It was one of the great psychological manipulation tries in the history. I want to read some of these emails. It's unbelievable. I got to say, you know what people are saying they're most looking forward to? They said the border. Number one thing we're getting right now. Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. It's one of the best things about it really is there's stuff that's going to be hard.

But some of the Biden administration stuff is so bad that it's truly easy to fix. Trump can come in and say, yeah, I'm going to not have an app that waves people into the U.S. as long as they fill out the app. No, we're not. We're not flying in people from Haiti to settle them in swing states anymore. We're just going to not do that. Yes, we're done. Yeah, we're done.

Stop doing that. Bring back remain in Mexico. You can totally. And by the way, that we're going to call Mexico and say 10 percent tariff if you don't get this sorted out. Yeah. Done. Yeah. By the way, people are really close the border. And then all else is saying is pardon people that were unfairly targeted by the lawfare regime. By the way, we should have an open list of those. We should actually. I'm going to Mar-a-Lago this weekend. Can we get a list? That would be really great.

Yeah, by the way, the president is understandably in great spirits right now. Who wouldn't be? It is the greatest political comeback in history. It's just nothing comes even close. You think about the low points we were at. I mean, January 6th was bad, but then the aftermath, people thought they're going to do a new Patriot Act. We're going to have domestic surveillance. We're going to get purges. They're going to shut down all our organizations. Right.

It looked like the it felt like the end of the world. Totally. By the way, they were going full dark Soviet. And what's so funny is I really sometimes I think they could have prevented all of this. They just couldn't. But they couldn't help themselves. If they hadn't charged Donald Trump with those crimes, he might he might not have won. I don't want to say he might not have won. I think he still would have. But that gave so much energy to the Trump campaign. It ended the primary overnight instead of having it be protracted.

And it really raised the stakes. I think a lot of the Silicon Valley support we saw were these guys who were raising their eyebrows. What are they doing? And just understand, like, Mark Andreessen deserves a lot of credit for this. David Sachs deserves a lot of credit. David Sachs was working behind the scenes for a long time, right, Andrew? Big, big, big. I mean, when he did that fundraiser in Silicon Valley, what a signal that sent to everybody. And then all of a sudden, all these Silicon Valley guys...

that are kind of a little bit more independent streak just started rising up. And it wasn't even just money. They articulated it. They had said, why I am supporting Donald Trump. Here's the reasons that matter to me. And they could lay out how Biden was a disaster on the economy, how Biden was a disaster on speech, why they thought this election was so important.

And I think we were so used to, oh, they're just going to try to buy the election. No, they really showed why they cared about the state of the country and why they cared so much about this election. And the left was so vicious. You had you had Rachel Maddow doing segments like, yeah, after this is done, we're going to have to destroy Elon Musk's companies. I mean, what he did. These people are so like we're going to go take his his rockets. Yeah, we're going to go confiscate his satellites. I mean, are we talking like that?

You know, we're just like, you know what? You still get to own the Mavs after this. You know what my ask is? I want people who are in jail that shouldn't be in jail to get out of jail. That's what I'm going to Mar-a-Lago for this week. I'm going to Mar-a-Lago this weekend because people that went and peacefully protested in their capital having to go through hell, and I want pardons for them. That's my ask. Just got a note from the Patriot Freedom Project. They're like the best one out there that's legit, and they have a comprehensive list they're going to send. Okay, good. Yeah, again, the violent one, I'm not...

I've never made that... Again, if you smash a police officer... No, no, they don't even have that. They filter that stuff out. The non-violent offenders, they all got to get pardons. And again, Miyasa Sakukai, really great guy. Siaka Masakai. Sorry, it's been a long week. That will help us heal, by the way. That will help us heal. Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

Yeah.

I know Blake doesn't like it. He's been over-prosecuted by a lawfare deep state regime. Blake, enough. And that's going to be one of my asks. Yes, Andrew? No, I was just flagging that. Okay. Okay.

We'll get to the read in a second. Scott Pressler, congratulations, Scott. You deserve credit more than anybody else, man. You did unbelievable. What a legend. The Keystone State. The folk hero everywhere in Pennsylvania. You're the Keystone of the Keystone State. This guy right here, Scott Pressler, has become that of mythological standing. He will go down with Zeus, with...

Name other Greek gods. Heracles. Heracles. You mean Hercules? Heracles is a cooler Greek name. Who had the best hair of all the Greek? No, I mean, he will go down in the pantheon of the gods of the 2024 election. Thor. Odin. When we make the statues, there will be a statue of Scott Pressler with a voter registration form extended above his head. Yes. And his long hat on. And the long hat billowing, chasing the last voter. There it is.

Take it up. That's it. There it is. This statue will be erected in the Pantheon, and Scott Pressler will be remembered in the Pantheon beside Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. And Charlie Kirk. And Charlie Kirk. Scott, I just want to say congratulations. You're an inspiration to us all. You worked your tail off to great personal expense to your body and your health, and I know the feeling, but just, Scott, give us – how are you feeling, man?

Thank you. I don't know how to feel, you know, like you, Charlie. I'm just kind of overwhelmed by, you know, we've been working towards this moment for the last decade. You know, all the toil, all the sweat equity, all the knocking on doors and voter registration, it finally has culminated to this.

Yesterday, we made history and we for the time being have saved our country. And just, you know, I do want people to know voter registration does make an impact, does matter. And flipping counties like Bucks County, as silly as that sounded to so many, and people were saying, you know, oh, Scott, oh, Charlie,

You can't make a difference by registering voters. Well, we did. We won Erie County. It looks like we're going to win Center County in 15.

Thank you, Charlie, for coming to Penn State University. We won Northampton. We nearly won Lackawanna in Scranton. We flipped Bucks County. We made progress with the Dominican and Puerto Rican community in Berks County. And it just shows you grassroots work does make an impact and can help flip blue wall states to Republican. So, Scott.

How many voters did you guys register? And by the way, we did some great work in Center County together. We flipped Center County, I believe. Give us some detail of the impact. So our organization is Early Vote Action. That's earlyvoteaction.com. And I'm very proud to say that we hired this cycle 74 paid full-time staff across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

And there are only 67 counties, meaning that we at least had one staffer for every single county in Pennsylvania. And our work this cycle has helped to deliver 50,000, 5-0, 50,000 registered Republicans in Pennsylvania.

That's amazing, Scott. Andrew, do you have a thought for Scott? No, I just I'm reacting to 50,000 is, you know, people don't understand what an accomplishment, what an absolute monster of an accomplishment that is. When you see these races like Wisconsin, it's going to come down to like 30,000 votes. Right. Or I think I think 30,000, 30,000. You get 50,000 new voters on the rolls. I mean, that.

That makes the difference in these states, especially in this divided era. I mean, because last night was essentially the largest landslide that we've ever seen in our modern era since 1984. And we're never really going to see a 49-state landslide, at least not in this particular climate. So 50,000 votes...

is absolutely massive, Scott. I would say that the other question I have is what you mentioned Berks. So we were very confused about this last night. CNN kept saying and we weren't listening because we were streaming. They kept but we were getting notes. Everybody's looking at Berks. Everybody's looking at Berks. And now what you just said makes perfect sense. They were playing the whole Puerto Rican angle. What did we see with Hispanics in particular Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania last night, Scott?

Yeah, I was listening to you guys. It was confusion over Berks versus Bucks. And yeah, well, you hit the nail on the head. So Berks County is one that has flipped to a plurality of registered Republicans since 2020.

And that has our Dominican community and our Puerto Ricans. And I'll tell you, we've made a concerted effort. And we even had signs made with early vote action listening to the community that said, "Buriquas, con Trump," and "Dominicans for Trump." And if you go to some of these bodegas, you'll see signs now everywhere plastered over Berks County.

And so the interesting thing is, despite the left trying to pander and placate and make a big deal over the Madison Square Garden comments, I can tell you comfortably that President Trump not only expanded his margin of victory in Berks County, but Kamala's share of the vote actually decreased from what Joe Biden got in 2020.

And so no amount of pandering from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could ever negate the hard work of the grassroots and the patriots in Berks County that delivered for Donald Trump. Scott, what are the greatest lessons that you take away from this cycle? Just can you give the audience some detail of how hard you pushed yourself and what are the lessons that you take away from this? Well, I thank you.

I think a doggedness, a determination that is just unbridled and untethered.

It's something that I'll live with, that even when people tell you that you can't or you won't, never listen to the naysayers. Always listen to your heart. Always listen to your talent. You can do anything that you want to do. And I look to people like Elon and Donald Trump and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy,

I mean, these are all people that never gave up. And furthermore, I just want to give a shout out to some members of our team, Charlie. There's a young man named Hagen who lived in Washington state. He drove in his car from Washington to Pennsylvania to move here just to vote for Donald Trump. And we were so excited.

inspired by him that we hired him on the team and his work helped to flood Erie County from blue to red. And there's another young man, his name is Will, a veteran, a father from Missouri. He moved to Pennsylvania just to help Southwest Allegheny County. And we were able to deliver 40% of that county for Donald Trump in less because we have so many amazing members of our team. There's a woman named Tricia,

who she's never had to work, and she chose to be a part of the early vote action family, and especially courting the Amish vote. And I can tell you from the numbers that Donald Trump in this cycle, he improved in Lancaster and Juniata and Mifflin and Huntington and Indiana and Armstrong, all Amish-centric counties. And it's because of people like Hagan, like Will, like Tricia,

that saw this election, that it required urgency in order to win. It was really these people on the team that their heart translated into real tangible results, and we were able to deliver Pennsylvania. And so to my team, if you're watching this right now,

I'm forever grateful for the work that you have done this cycle. Well, thank you for that. Blake, do you have a thought for Scott here? Actually, I do have a thought. How do we scale Scott Pressler in other states, Scott? Because there's only one of you. And how can we turn this into a force multiplication? I hope you guys understand that Scott Pressler dedicated every fiber as being similar to me, but different, right? Scott, we were in little different lanes. We overlapped here or there. But it was all in, right? It was full commitment.

It's just, how do we scale this, Scott? Well, A, I want people to know that we're not stopping for a gosh darn second. Sure, we'll probably take 48 hours to take a victory lap.

But the fight begins towards 2026. We go straight for the governorship. 2028, we already work towards winning the presidency again in four years. And we continue to do it in an inspirational way.

Where we are putting out so much positivity and good, strong work ethic that we're going to draw good people to want to work with us. And furthermore, I think the most important thing that we did differently this year, Charlie, is I want to say thank you to Turning Point Action and Tyler Boyer and Noah Formica. I want to say thank you to the PHAs for Cliff Maloney.

I want to say thank you to Jenny Beth Martin with the Tea Party Patriots. One thing that I think when the story is written about 2024 that we did differently than any other cycle is everybody played together. We swam in the same direction.

And we worked towards the goal of giving Donald Trump the presidency, the House, the Senate, the popular vote. And we all work together as a team. Scott, I got a question for you. And I'm not here to really, you know, litigate the past here. But it was well documented that, you know, you didn't really get a call from Ronna McDaniel and you wanted one. Yeah. And then, you know, we took a lot of grief for being part of the group that that got her out.

at the RNC, and then there was a new leadership at the RNC. How much of an impact did that have, do you think, on the grassroots, Scott? Oh my gosh, you saw it. Guys, we saw the impact of a change of leadership in real time. Even with things like Bucks County, where because we flipped it, the Democrats were trying to disenfranchise

our voters from voting. And because Chairman Michael Watley, RNC Chair, and Co-Chair Laura Trump were litigious and immediately sued and immediately got a lawsuit, they were able to extend three additional days of in-person voting in Bucks County. And I'll tell you, that's where then the grassroots organizations like Turning Point Action, Early Vote Action come in. And I'll tell you, we used every hour

of those three additional days and it translated into results like for example we won Bucks County a county that we now have a plurality of registered Republicans in this county this is the first time that a Republican has won Bucks County since 1988

So the voter registration mattered. Getting the volunteers mattered. Having 74 staffers across the state mattered. Being litigious mattered. Having the right people like Michael Watley and Laura Trump mattered. And on a personal note,

Laura Trump, if you ever see this, I want to say thank you. Thank you for embracing me when nobody else would give me a shot. And yes, and Charlie, you have been there and Tyler Boyer has been there, but especially having the RNC, having Laura Trump.

welcome me and not shy away and embrace our work. You have forever changed my life. I'm grateful to you. Thank you for bringing me on stage at the Butler rally, speaking in front of 80,000 people. And it shows you leadership matters. Heart matters. And I'm so excited. The best is yet to come. Just remember we empowered Scott and you're able to thank Laura Trump because we got rid of Rana.

Don't forget that grassroots move to get rid of Rana was a big deal. Scott, God bless you. Thank you, man. Thanks, Scott. I know you're busy. Thank you for making the time. Let me ask a question. Do you think our country is going in the right direction, or does it feel like everything is falling apart? If you're feeling alarmed, you're not alone. In fact, Americans from all walks of life have taken action to prepare for whatever is coming next, and that starts with an emergency food supply.

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. Right now, you can get ready to with a three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply. It comes with delicious foods like creamy storgunoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf. This entire kit...

I'm thinking, when we see the Kamala speech, I hope everyone just takes a prayer and like, whoa.

That could have been president. Like she could have been president. You know what I mean? Like even the Democrats will be like that. Do you know what I mean? Though? It's just like, wait, we defeated the most powerful thing ever to exist. Think about it. They were, they play Kamala. No, no, no, no. But think about it. They played games with the federal reserve. They've been doing all sorts of weird stuff, right? Andrew pumping cheap money into the markets. They screwed up. Can Blake one minute while we're going through the breaks, actually have longer.

They played games with the border crossing stuff, saying border crossings were down. Can you explain this? Yeah, they were just like, they had all these levers. It really is just a giant pile of lies where they'll say, oh, we can't stop what's happening at the border. No, you 100% can. You have a freaking app that people can apply on to come into this country. So they can occasionally hit pause when they're like, oh, we're going to lose the election over this. All right, shut it down. Just stop it for a few months.

easily could restart that when it's over. And, you know, you can dial back all of the weird, you know, adjunct prop that you have on the trans stuff on all of like the really severe culture war issues and,

And yeah, as you said, the Federal Reserve, the numbers that they were doing, I know they would say, oh, this happens all the time. No, they were updating the jobs numbers to say, oh, yeah, we were off by a million on the number of jobs created. Our bad guys. And I think, what was it, 10 of the last 11 months, they ended up revising the job creation stats down.

Yeah, that's right. Gosh, yeah. It was some figure like that. Just every single time. It was this gravity to find. And you'd have these economists say, oh, the economy's better than ever. And people just knew it was bogus. Just they played games with it. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. By the way, just so we're, Danny on our team is running numbers. University of Iowa gained 3,000 votes since 2020. University of Auburn gained 3,000 votes. In almost every single college town, they got like 3,000 to 5,000 votes redder.

It's amazing. So we're going to come up with this huge analysis. Danny's the best with this. Yeah, Danny's good at that. Because, again, there's so much noise right now. You know the problem with saying salsa? People think you say salsa, salsa, salsa, salsa.

We have an... Can we get that Seinfeld clip of the salsa salsa? This might have been on TV, but... Do you know why people... Salsa is the number one ingredient in America? Because people love to say salsa. And it would be impossible for a... I'm sorry, it's a Seinfeld thing. They love to say and salsa. Yes, Blake. So, J. Ann Seltzer sells salsa. She had a statement. This was last night, but a friend just alerted me to it. She was saying...

The poll did not match what the Iowa electorate ultimately decided in the voting booth today. I will be reviewing the data from multiple sources with hopes of learning why that happened. And I welcome what that process is.

Might teach you. How about you? She like, wouldn't she like talk to a bunch of limbs at Drake University or something? Maybe you need to like get into hurting a little bit more. Yeah. Seriously. I mean, so far off. I mean, like, did you talk to anybody? Maybe call the Emerson people that had him up ten and a half. They were even off. Did you talk to anybody from Waterloo? Like anybody?

Did you get a single person on the phone from Otunwa? Did you talk to anybody? Any older lady who wasn't currently drinking a glass of wine in her hand? Or Keokuk? Did you talk to anybody from these places? Anybody? I just... Again, my daughter running around here could pull better than her. It's just...

Unbelievable. She's going to have to move to Waterloo, Iowa to live in a town that memorializes famous, embarrassing defeats. I also want to say something more macro. We can get into the other stuff, too. This was a huge referendum on what we'd call woke communism. And, Blake, wasn't it post-2020? We never had a good chance to really go up or down on that stuff. And it felt like that was a hidden vector here. It really, I think...

If the left is honest, they'll have to reckon with that, that in 2020, they ignited a legit cultural revolution, and it was terrifying to live through. I totally agree with this. People would just go, and they would topple a statue, blow it to smithereens,

And, like, no one would do anything about it. No one would get arrested. No one would get charged. And they would taunt us about it. And they would taunt us. And it was like the law was suspended. People who were in power... The Minneapolis government evacuated an entire, like, city block and let people just torch it. And...

It was a terrifying moment. And over time, you started seeing more people. It became much more acceptable to say, wait a minute. This was all based on lies. Like the police are not evil. Our schools are not run by hidden KKK Klansmen, especially not in deep blue cities like San Francisco. And they would only triple down on this. They would trot out. They bragged about putting Sam Brinton in a position of authority. And then the dude started stealing everyone's luggage.

And there's a line, I think, Voltaire, the French writer, I don't know if he actually said it, but allegedly he did, where he said, you know, I pray to God to make my enemies ridiculous. And what they really did... Here's a lot of unattributed quotes. Yeah, yeah. And they really did make themselves ridiculous. They made it so if you're, you know, a young kid, kids are irreverent. They like to smash idols, as it were. And they were told, you know, bow down to this. Yeah, you have to say that this...

That this is normal, that this is not deranged. And it became so easy to say, like, oh, these guys can't even define. I guess we're on YouTube. I'll be careful. They can't even define right or wrong. They can't define right or wrong. Yeah. Good job, Blake. We're learning. One of the all time moments. His computer. I handle that with more grace than I do.

What? I mean, yeah, you did because I knew it was boiling under the surface. Also, you've signed the numbers of what actually manifested from last night. Yeah. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. Become a member, members.charliekirk.com if you guys want a signed MAGA hat. Also, you know who I want to shout out right now? I want you guys to download the Real America's Voice app. Can we shout out Real America's Voice and Parker and Rob Sig?

Just amazing how great they've been. I don't know if the Sigs are watching right now. But I want you guys to download the Real America's Voice app. Anytime we want to stream, they say yes. Anytime that we want to do something. Like an event here, we need trussing here, lighting there, cameras there. It's a really amazing partnership and camaraderie. Oh, by the way, I'm trending on Twitter. 101,000 posts. Just Charlie.

I'm sure it's all good things. Also trending. Do not concede Kamala. That's great. Yeah. By the way, Michigan has now been called for Trump. That's we saw that coming. Arizona will be called by Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day 2026. It's just this is this is pathetic, man. It just if Michigan is counting their votes faster than Arizona, this is just a dysfunction. It's so bad. So bad. So, by the way, the memes are out of control right now.

I got to get this meme. Ryan, get this one here. I mean, the memes have never been better. So this one's really hard to describe. So you ever see the meme of like all the old people playing at the slot machines? You ever see that? Yeah. So it says that the U.S. Senate confirming 30-year-old conservative judges for the next two years. The U.S. Senate just going dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. It's the money printer go burr, but now it's all of our judicial confirmations. So Andrew, I walked on, I'm just texting back Speaker Johnson about something.

Yeah, I mean, I'm observing how you're trending on Twitter, and it's amazing. In a bad way or a good way? No, it's in an incredible way. All right, walk us through Hispanics and stuff. All right, well, so Hispanics... Blake, pull up the actual stats here so I don't speak out of turn, but I mean...

I already mentioned I did not go to bed until about 5.30 Mountain Time, which is 7.30 East Coast. So I watched the beginning of Morning Joe. I watched Jen Psaki through grit.

Tooth teeth just have to concede that Donald Trump was going to be her president, too. And then she I mean, she went on such an overwrought editorial about how terrible of a human being Donald Trump was that it was laughable. You and me were watching this together, actually. But the main things they kept talking about was youth vote, which we've talked about.

And Hispanics. Trump won Hispanic men by 10, according to CNN's. I'm not surprised. I want to I want to play a cut here, actually. Ryan pulled it because he he's the best. And then I didn't know it was pulled. And he was like, it's in the clip sheet. Let's go ahead and play to 26. We can play this for radio when they come back. But to 26, I just say really quickly to Democrats need to be mature and they need to be honest and they need to say, yes, there is. There's misogyny.

But it's not just misogyny from white men. It's misogyny from Hispanic men. Right. It's misogyny from black men. Things we've all been talking about who do not want a woman leading them might be race issues with Hispanics. They don't want a black woman as president. You know, the Democratic Party, I've always found when you're sitting around talking, they love to just sort of.

balkanize everybody into these separate groups and say, oh, white people don't like women and black people. No, this is it is time for the Democrats to say, OK, and you and I have talked about this before. A lot of Hispanic voters have problems with black candidates.

Right. A lot of other Hispanics. Exactly. Each other. And some of the most misogynist things I've heard going on. Get out the vote tour came from black men. I mean, misogynist thing. So you're absolutely right. It's not simplistic. And we've got to have real honest conversations about real honest conversation. This is like a racial firing squad where they're like, and it's the Hispanics. Well, it's the blacks fault. And.

It's the white men's fault for not wanting to, you know, it's men's fault. It was like intersectional, uh, like train wreck on TLC.

And I just think that Hispanics are fed up with it, just like the rest of us are. All they want to do is have a good job, have a safe country that doesn't look like Venezuela, and they want their wages to be going up. They want to be able to afford things. They want to be able to have their family provided for. It's not that hard. And these numbskulls on MSNBC are too dumb to see the big E on the eye chart. Wow.

We're not buying your junk anymore, people. You guys went loopy, loopy, completely out of their minds. I just – but when Joe Scarborough is the voice of reason on MSNBC, what's happening here? All right. I think we got more. Let me see here. We got some more here. Oh, yeah. This woman's taking it well. Play cuts 231. I'm sorry. No! Why? Why? Why? Do you really hate me that bad? Come on.

No, I actually don't. I don't hate you at all. They actually should have reflection on this because that is essentially a form of performance art too. They've cultivated a whole tradition of doing this. And I think at this point, if we had lost, there would have been viral clips of us being gloomy, of us being downbeat. Some of us would have taken it badly. But I don't think you would have psychotic screaming in your car about it.

No, but we didn't in 2020. I mean, again, it's just like... So, okay. So, let's now go to this one here. Let's go. TikToker used astrology to predict Kamala is going to win. Play cut 234. Make sure that... Is this all clean, Ryan? Yes? Play cut 234. For the astrology girlies, I just want to know, I have been studying Kamala's charts, and it looks like she is not only going to win, but she is going to be...

winning a second term. The next eight years in her chart looked really, really strong. Trump's, not so much. Okay, so I was wrong. A lot of astrologers were wrong. A lot of us were wrong. But if you think that right now is the time to tell me that you don't believe in astrology, who gives a f*** about astrology right now, dude? Who literally f***ing cares about that? That is like the least of our f***ing worries.

This is my career. I have built a life off of reading the stars for people and getting it right. She seems like she's taking it well. Let's go to this one here. Play cut to 23. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. Right, Joe? I mean, I... Yeah. It's going to be... Does everybody take a deep breath? I...

Wait, can we play the Jake Tapper one? It's not going to be okay. Yeah, well, there is a great Jake Tapper one. Ryan's going to get mad at me. Oh, no, the one of all the counties? Yeah, which one is that, Ryan? It was like every state. She wasn't doing better in a single state, I think, is what it was. She's not doing better in any conceivable way. Oh, it's 221. Play cut 221.

So you asked, are there any places that the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden in 2020? So we can show you that as well. We just bring that out here. Harris overperforming 2020. Holy smokes. There you go. So let this go away and see if there's anything on the east side there. Literally nothing. Literally nothing. Literally not one county. Not a single county.

She did have a few in the end. Did she? Yeah, you know, those ones in Georgia we flagged. But like, yeah, like I said, we're going to paint it on the wall probably. Just every red arrow. What lessons can we learn from this, guys? I think that it's about stamina, grit, and when you know you're in the right, you don't give up. Do you know what I mean? Like we knew that we were fighting for something, I want to say virtuous,

It would have been very easy for us to give up. And I think also the true realization that you can confront the left in venues that we heard really, at least since the Obama years, were just innately left wing social media, college campuses like this was such a win for stand up and fight directly, like be a boxer. You can counterpunch just as well as they can.

And it's not even that we have to win. Lose by less is actually a great message. Why can't we be better on college campuses? Why can't we be better in urban areas? Why can't we appeal to all these groups? It's just total nonsense, total BS that we can't compete in those areas. And I think Donald Trump's attitude shift of the right is one of the most important things.

Are you ready to lose weight but not sure where to start? I understand. I was right where you are two years ago. Let me tell you why I chose the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition Program.

It is victory day, and it's victory week and victory month. It is victory era. Andrew, there were a lot of people that wanted us to turn our back on Trump, and we lost a lot of donors because we stayed with Trump.

You know, it's a funny story. This must have been in 2017, Charlie. And I remember I got a call. I remember it was the editor of The Rolling Stone. I usually don't tell these stories with names, but this guy's a particular jerk. Actually, it was The Daily Beast, then he went to The Rolling Stone. And I'll never forget that they wrote some crap story about us. I wanted to speak with the editor. I spoke with him. Took the time, at least. And he said to me...

You know, I respect a lot of what you guys do. I actually respect it. I want you to know that. I said, well, thanks, I guess. He said, but I want to warn you. If you continue to align yourself, Donald Trump...

These stories are not going to stop. They're only going to get worse. And there will be people that are going to keep coming after you. It was a threat. It was a threat. It was 2017. This is how they tell it. This is pre-January 6th. This is pre-indictments, impeachments. This was pre-everything. And I'll just never forget it. I remember thinking, like, wow, this guy, everybody is against this guy.

And you kind of take that little anecdote and you fast forward to where we are now and you realize what we've really accomplished. You took a political figure and, I mean, if you listen to Mark Halperin, essentially a once-in-a-generation political leader. We hope that that's not true on our side. But you take that and the hero's journey, the arc that he's been on,

From media mogul and developer, darling of the media, to then the pariah of the media. 95 to 5 negative coverage. Two impeachments, multiple indictments, facing 700 years. And he has bested every single one of his enemies. And really, a big part of it is that the grassroots... We played Rush Limbaugh's music.

The grassroots stood by him. Rush knew this. He said that they would never be able to separate Trump from the people that supported him, from the movement that pushed him forward. And that's really this audience. This audience represents the heart and soul of the grassroots, the heart and soul of the conservative movement from coast to coast. Folks, we are a movement that is ascendant.

When you see that we lost New Jersey by four points. Blake was laughing me about it. It was closer than people thought, man. When you see that, when you see Illinois coming close, when you see that Orange County's gone back red. Well, for now. For now. When you see that we control the Senate, that we are favored. It's going to be close, but we're favored to take back the house or remain in control of the House.

I think we will, by the way. 78% chance of a House. Yeah. According to New York Times. I mean, this – gosh, there's so much. Charlie, people forget they tried to throw this man off the ballot. They tried to remove President Trump from the ballot because of – he was too insurrection-y. They called him Hitler. They called us fascists. They called us racists. Yeah, by the way, so Kamala called –

Donald Trump a couple minutes ago to congratulate him. So why would you call a Nazi to do that? I mean, these people are so awful. They deserve to lose. Would you call Hitler to congratulate him? And she especially, she deserves to become a humiliated figure in America. Will she ever give a primetime speech at a Democrat event? I don't think she'll ever run for anything again. I think she's done, and I think she's going to go run for governor of California or something like that.

Would they even want her? I mean, it's California. You know what I mean? It's like a consolation. You know why? She'll be like, I ran... This is a thought crime, guys. Do you think that they knew in mid-summer that this was so bad that they couldn't recover it and Kamala was the sacrificial lamb? It would explain the Tim Walz pick. I just... I can't imagine a U.S. party ever intentionally punting a presidential election in the current environment. I can't imagine it. I do think...

I think that might be why Shapiro possibly nuked his vice presidential bid. We've seen some suggestions that maybe he just didn't want it, that he kind of backed away from it. You saw that those leaks were like, we just thought it wasn't the right fit.

I think he was maybe canny enough to think, I don't want to be tethered to this because there's not much upside for me if she wins. She'll be an unpopular president. I think that might really be what some of them realized is even if we get a win with her, it's going to stay. Well, you remember that one, that lip-reading moment? The New York Post got the lip-reader of it was Barack Obama talking to Joe Biden, and he said she's weaker than me.

She's weaker. Didn't he say that? Something like that. She's not as strong as that spurs me. But we have time, I think. Yeah, but we have time. And you see Obama nodding. I mean, to be a fly on the wall in some of those inner sanctum of the Democrat power structure. It's going to come. It's going to come. We'll get those accounts. I mean, Obama's not a leaker. His team tends to be pretty tight-lipped. I don't think they intentionally put in someone that they knew was doomed. I do think it is true that

They just thought they couldn't go with anyone else. You have a person whose job is to be the replacement if the president is gone, and she was in that job. And they thought, if we try to rush a primary, it will alienate our black women voters who will think we're throwing out this person who's not for a white guy. I think...

I think their ideology actually imprisoned them to some extent. They felt there are rules that we as Democrats can't break, and it locked them into nominating someone who was not a good candidate. That's a great point. And she was picked for a bad reason. What you just said is a really phenomenal point because before Donald Trump came into our lives as a political figure, there were things I felt like I couldn't say about specifically immigration.

He unlocked us from our own chains. He gave us permission to be loud and proud against the fact that, no, I don't want my country to be overrun by people that didn't grow up here. And it's nothing against them. It's about law and order. It's about cultural cohesion. It's about...

making sure that our people are taken care of. All of these things that we couldn't say before Donald Trump. He unlocked us from a losing position. You're not required to let a stranger into your home. Yeah, but he – exactly. He unlocked us from a dumb thing. He also did that with wars. He also did that with trade. And he basically gave us permission to cut the shackles to these really dumb ideas that weren't winners, that basically –

you know, ensured that we were going to be in a permanent minority or never win the popular vote again and gave us this populist boost that turns out is really popular. It was, I have a friend who is not American, lives in Europe and is on the left politically. And I was explaining to him why, why I was voting for Trump and why I thought Trump was important. And I was actually saying, one of the most important things about Trump is he is based. And that's a slang term. A lot of people don't really get what it means, but if you,

If you dig down into the slang to be based means basically you're doing your own thing and you don't let attacks from other people move you off your position. You're you're autonomous. You aren't cowed by people. And that is what Trump was, that Trump would come out and say,

Bad people are coming from Mexico. We're going to stop it. Some of them are rapists. They're really awful people. And they shrieked and howled and said, that's racist. You can't say that. And he said, yeah, I'm going to say it anyway. And that was so important that he did that. And he does it with everything, too. They were like, you know, you can't talk about how 2020 was stolen anymore or whatever his thing was, right? But like...

whether it was good politics or not, he was just dogged. The things that you're not supposed to say, he would just keep saying them, for better or worse, right? So it's a strength and a weakness, but it empowered us. Democrats did not have anybody on their side that was willing to say the hard thing until the morning after. And now you've got Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe saying, hey, we've got to really figure out our position on immigration. Or like abortion, whatever you think of his position on it. He was by far the most...

like steadfast on just arguing it where you would have people who would superficially be more pro-life than Trump, but they were scared to talk about it. They wouldn't say, oh, Democrats love radical positions. They're they they do infanticide. Trump would say that he would say they're the real radicals. By the way, just got a great text from my friend Frank Turek, who is amazing. And he's come on the show. He was really great speaking out morally on this election. Frank, thank you for watching. You're a great friend and a prayer warrior and a mentor.

and someone I really look up to. Man, that guy is solid as oak. No, I'm telling you, man, what he did, and he came out so morally clear on this election when I saw his speeches, very impressive. Yeah, 100%. Very impressive, and he didn't have to do that. I loved it. Are we loaded? Do we have this loaded up, Kylie? Oh, is this the montage? Yeah, let's play the whole thing. So hold – just play it when we – Let's play the whole thing. We got time. But hold on. Here's the setup.

You got to go quick because we have three minutes. Okay, just go ahead. No, no, do the setup. The setup is 2.1 million billion, 2.1 billion with a B, views across social media, mostly by 18 to 29-year-olds. The prove-me-wrong campus events have gone so incredibly viral. Credit to our team. Play the clip. Tell us why you're supporting Kamala Harris.

Not too sure about that. Why? Okay. So right now, because she's not strong. Can you tell me her greatest accomplishment? No, I can't. Can you tell me a single accomplishment? I cannot. I want to leave. What is Kamala Harris's greatest accomplishment? See, that's it. That's that question. You can't. Okay. Name an accomplishment of hers. An accomplishment of hers?

She got in, she, she, um, in, when she was the gov- Hey. What is her greatest accomplishment? Being an idol for, uh... Ooh, I wish I had this on the top of my head, but I don't. Well, as vice president, I'm not sure. I guess I have nothing. I'm stumped. We cannot heal our country until we defeat the Democrat Party this November. My number one mission is make Donald Trump go back into the White House in November.

Why should I vote for Trump? Can you kind of give me your point of view of why I should vote for Trump? I am thinking of voting for Harris, but I am open to be proven otherwise. Could you please explain why under a Trump presidency would be more beneficial to me than a Harris presidency? I want to try to win you over as a liberal for Donald Trump. Why should I vote for Trump? There's no guesswork in this election. We know the type of president that Trump was and that he will be. There are three things I want you to think about when voting for Trump.

Homeownership, border, war. Three objective things. People remember the Trump years better because they were better. Kamala Harris will destroy this country, bring us closer to World War III, allow 30 million illegal people into the country, and bring us to a Great Depression. Donald Trump will restore the American dream for your generation. When I decide, just in case, can I have a hat? You can have a hat. So which way are you leaning? Can I get a hat? That's a good answer!

I think you've convinced me. So thank you for that. God bless you. So, yeah, that would end up leading me towards the Republican Party, despite myself being a liberal. How are you leaning this election? Well, after what you said, Trump, let's go. I'm talking to voters of this country that will determine the future of Western civilization. We got to win. We're going to make America. We might have accidentally started.

A movement that will live in folklore. Some sort of revolution that would be... Right wing? What is Letitia James doing right now? She better be announcing they're dropping all charges. Can we have eyes on Letitia James? Ryan, can we get a... No, this is something else. This is important. Are they going to keep pressing charges against the popular vote winner of this country?

The person who was only like six or seven points from flipping. All right. We're going to get a. Yeah. OK. So, by the way, read this from San Francisco. While we while we check friend, a friend of mine wife is a teacher at a Berkeley public school in California, says the vibe is insane today. The teachers are all bursting into tears and acting visibly upset in front of the children. The adults in the room, folks. It's just so pathetic.

Can we all just agree that the most important decision Trump has to make in the coming days is who's going to be attorney general? Who should it be? There's a really good name, actually. Someone sent me. There's this Asian guy that people really like, Asian American. I don't know. I don't know his name. Mark Paoletta. Oh, you mean the attorney general of the United States? Mark Paoletta would be great. But are you talking about from Stanford? Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no. I know him. You? No, no, no. He's great, but not him. There's somebody else that is on the short list. But can we agree that we can't get through another Bill Barr or Jeff Sessions? Oh, gosh. Right? I mean, we need a legit attorney general. You want focus. Mark Paoletta would be legit. Really legit. It's like just for people who aren't aware, he's been on the show. You want to know my advice to Trump? He's one of the best friends with Clarence Thomas. My advice is make them all acting directors.

Don't go to the Senate. Don't just get him in office immediately, especially the ones where you have to. They must have limited powers, though. You're going to have full powers. It's only a statute of how long you can serve. Because the thing about it, if like an AG resigns, you have to get another director to be acting director. You get full authority over the division, but you can't do the whole term. So if you want to like go like hard out of the gate, just go with acting directors in every place you have to like metaphorically blow up.

You know what I'm saying? Just like day one, you can get an attorney general. They'll go to the Senate. So I got this acting director. And by the way, you can go acting director and then also go through Senate confirmation. But just place them there already. The point being is that, yes, the Senate is going to play, you know, Fugazi Fugazi games, right? Now, you know what I'm talking about. Typical.

And look, it's very important. Don't pursue weird vengeance stuff. We've heard about that. I don't think Trump will. However, I do think there's a list of stuff that does need to be figured out. There's legit stuff. There's a difference between weird vengeance stuff, as you said, and

Well, necessary. Can I give you an example? Restoration of justice. Yeah. Like example is collusion between government agencies that were illegally trying to censor speech. Yeah. I think you can stop that very quickly or find out if criminal behavior. But like, for example, I would I would definitely not be pursuing anything related to 2020. And I agree. I think I agree.

A comment I've seen is if you have any fretting about 2020, just the fact that you won this big this way delegitimize. But we I do think that there needs to be a serious conversation in this country about the way we do elections.

Some of the states are so backwards and there is so much dirt. I don't. OK, we won. I don't think that's an issue. Do a Florida. You could do that as like a Florida initiative. Say we'll give you another 500 million in highway funding. Florida style election rules. But honestly, like the attorney general, the United States should come in super hard against BLM.

Right. Antifa and the cartels that are traffic and all the NGOs on the border that are breaking international law. And just so much like a RICO case. And just so much of our priority is. Yeah. And we need to go. Our priority is cartels. Sanctuary cities. Our priority is organized crime. Our priority is actual financial. Trendy or robbery, for example. Yeah.

Our priority is not finding threats to democracy. I totally agree. Find out who's generating those reports at DOJ that says, like, right-wing extremists. Get rid of all that. All the DEI. Gotta get rid of all that. Find out who made that Latin mass report and say, yeah, this is never happening again. That person's fired. I will be honest, though. The next attorney general does need... You might disagree. Russiagate, we have not closed the chapter on that. You might disagree. The Peter Strzok stuff, like...

Those guys got off scot-free. It was like Eric Schumerella was the only guy who got a slap on the wrist. Find out. I think there needs to be a legit, like, did Anthony Fauci commit federal crimes? I think that is a thing that's not vengeance. Some of this stuff is setting things right. And by the way, ending sanctuary cities, I know Jeff Session tried to do that, but it's a huge one. I think the way that COVID was handled. I think sunlight works there. If you want to have a guy go, make the definitive report on it.

I mean, Fauci is about 85 now. We're not going to imprison Fauci. I know people want to. But the point is that there needs to be some look back period of when they were able to

By the way, just a very simple one. We're not going to use the Civil Rights Act to say that men can go in female locker rooms. Yeah, or we could say Civil Rights Act. You can't discriminate based on race at a college campus, regardless of who the target is. Affirmative action is done. You could basically say that. And by the way, you can also say affirmative action is done in federal hiring practices. Guys, the buffet line of our options right now, the American people have given us a mandate. They've given us a mandate to govern. And say it. No more racial discrimination. That's how you say it. Yes. No more.

And by the way, it wins even in California when the voters are presented with that. Are you worried about the future of the U.S. economy? With so much uncertainty in the air, it's natural to fret about the security of your retirement savings. But there's one asset that stands the test of time, and that is gold. For centuries, gold has been a hedge against market volatility and economic instability.

We'll be right back.

They're about to call the Pennsylvania Senate race.

It's close. He's going to... We need that one, actually. By the way, McCormick's my man. Good for him, by the way. Bob Casey is a total stooge. And he puts himself up as this moderate guy, and then his voting record totally betrays him. There's an expectation meter on 538. I mentioned this. And he is one of the...

Based on his projection, just imagine he's at 70% progressive. He's like all the way at 99% progressive based on the way he votes. That delta between what they expect based on campaigning and his actual voting record is one of the largest in the Senate. So, by the way, James Woods, who is very rarely to do this –

Just sent out a tweet. President Trump's virtue last night was the product of many things, not the least of which was his astonishing energy. One person must be recognized as Charlie Kirk, whose organization managed to break the woke stranglehold on college campuses and deliver the youth vote. That's very sweet, James. Wow. The New York Times, they've updated their things. They have their results where they have their president, House, Senate. They added a new tab that you can click on called a red shift tab.

of the counties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, New York Times had the best coverage. I gotta be honest, man. Like, the New York Times, their meter... I know people will make fun of me. Can I interrupt, Blake? They were on top of the data better than anybody else. Like...

Just going to be honest, the New York Times crushed it last night. Would you agree, Blake? Yeah, and despite their tech team being on strike. So somebody did it. Somebody's doing the tech. It's like with Twitter where they got rid of 80% of the staff, and they were all like, it's going to collapse at any time, guys. So I'm looking at some of these races, by the way. I think we're going to win AZ1. I think we're going to win the House of Representatives by like 10 seats. I mean, we're flipping two seats in Pennsylvania. That will help a lot. Yeah, I think we're going to have a 10-seat majority. Whoa. Remember after 2016 where Paul Ryan gets up and he goes –

He freaking hated Trump the whole time. And he gets up and he goes, you got to give him credit. He had coattails. And it's like, well, this is these are amazing numbers. I'm going to read through these on The New York Times where they have subtypes of counties. And so in counties that Trump won by more than 20 points in 2020, in 2020, those had moved one point to the left relative to 2016. They just moved two point eight points to the right. But what places where Biden won?

Won by more than 20 points four years ago. Those moved four points to the right. He got five points better in urban areas, four points better in suburban areas. He got nine and a half points better in counties that are over 25 percent Hispanic in the U.S. He got four points better in counties that are over 50 percent college educated.

It really is across the board. Despite all the angst about losing seniors, he got five points better in places that have a lot of senior voters. He got five and a half points better, even better, though, in counties that have a large population aged 18 to 34. So your college counties, he got five and a half points better. Can I put this up on screen? What did I show prep? Guys, this is look at this. Look at how Detroit changed from 2020.

Wow. Let me... Where did you put that? That's from... By the way, this is from a Dem account. Wow. Put that up. I mean, that is... By the way, we did ActCon in downtown Detroit. Can we take a little credit for that, guys? That we did... We planted the flag of MAGA for multiple days.

In downtown Detroit. We were originally thinking of putting that in Atlanta or something. No. We went to Detroit. No. The truth is we couldn't find a place. Yeah, we couldn't find it. There was no room for us at the inn. Look at that. That's downtown Detroit, baby. It's kind of like. The southern part of it right there. That's Wayne County. Unbelievable.

I'm really looking forward to that. University of Michigan precincts shifted between 10 to 20 more points towards Trump this cycle, depending on which precincts. Boom! Thank you. This guy's the best lib account. He actually looks at the data. Look at that. We got Rich Bears coming on, speaking of data, in about one minute. Wow, man. That's unbelievable. Woo! All right, everybody, email us, freedom at charliekirk.com. And if you want to subscribe to our podcast, it's just, I'm speechless. This is the Lord. It is.

What? It's better than I expected. Wow. Arizona, by the way, still has about 1.4 million votes out.

Is that the next? I thought it was down to 1.2. No, it went back up because they can't. That's great for Kerry. Because the outstanding vote totals went down, actually, which is great. Meaning the percentage. They thought 63% was in. Actually, 61% was in. And Kerry Lake is only down two points right now statewide. Kerry Lake is down two points statewide right now. So everybody is, not everybody, but Patriot Takes is mocking me because I cried after. Oh, let them. No, but look at the image I just sent.

in show prep. That's how you should respond. You should find it and respond to be like same vibes. Right? Just image. Yeah, just image. Right? Yeah. We got Rich. Okay. Rich Barris. Rich, Rich, Rich. My man. Richie Rich. Make sure you're unmuted, Rich. I think I can hear. All right. Oh, yeah. I'm here. I'm here. He was being polite. Rich, God bless America. Amen, brother. Amen.

And I think he does. And, you know, the president said last night that, you know, God, he believes, spared him, you know, for that bullet for a reason, from that bullet for a reason. And this is the greatest political comeback in the history of history.

human civilization. Teddy Roosevelt tried to do something like this. This is beyond Grover Cleveland. Teddy Roosevelt failed, by the way. But even if Teddy Roosevelt did do it, they did try to kill Teddy Roosevelt, but they didn't try to imprison him, destroy his family, destroy his businesses, destroy his supporters, throw his supporters in jail, weaponize everything against him, culture and politics and in the judiciary. And this is the biggest...

I don't want to use that because it's such a cliche, but this was the biggest take back of voter sovereignty in the history of human civilization, period. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Say that one more time for the people in the back.

This was the biggest take back of voter sovereignty in the history of human civilization. We are the preeminent self-governing society. There has never been a bigger F you to a ruling class like you cannot do this. You are not allowed. We are in charge. Keep going, Rich. I love that. Break it down. They needed to be.

I think what happened here is last night you had a bunch of Democratic, longtime Democratic constituencies say, never again. You lied to us. Never again. You've been losing us anyway, but this is too much, too far. We're done with the lie. It's over. We don't believe it anymore. And then we had, I think, even upper class, because I was listening while I was waiting, like this mandate is much bigger now

much more significant than in 2016. This wasn't done on the back of white working class turnout and low turnout in certain urban areas. That's not fully the story. Like they're going to get pretty close to their targets in Philadelphia. The story is less black voters came out to vote for Hillary Clinton than they, I mean, came out to vote for Kamala Harris than Hillary Clinton as a share of the electorate, because some of them said no.

No more. And then others said, I'm just going with Trump. And then yet we could also point to places on the map like Oakland County in Michigan. This is a very affluent, wealthy, educated, white area north of Detroit. You know, it's the Detroit burbs, but...

north of it. It's to the west of Macomb, where there are more working class, old school, what we used to refer to as Reagan Democrats and that kind of a demographic. Oakland County, Biden thrashed Trump in in 2020. It's just true. He thrashed him. And she slid significantly and barely carried it by 10 points. I mean, 10 points sounds like a lot, but it's not for a Democrat in the modern era. Then she goes on to get crushed in Macomb by almost 20 points.

Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 14 points in McComb, and that was like, oh, my God. This was even bigger than that. Anyway, you can go down to Florida. I know it's not competitive, but it just speaks to the points that we've been making. I had him carrying Miami-Dade by six in a poll that had Trump up by 11. He outperformed that poll. He carried Miami-Dade by a larger margin. He also carried Deval County. What's the final margin in Miami-Dade? When we last looked, it was like plus three. I think we won by 11. What?

What? No, it's a – yes. It's just under – I'll read you an exact one. It is 55.4 to 43.9. And then go north where Jacksonville is where there are more affluent, rich, white people.

He took Duval County back, and it swung – Biden won Duval by about four points. It swung six points to Donald Trump, and that bode well for Georgia because Duval has this weird relationship that moves with Georgia. Georgia usually is a few points to the right of Duval. This time they're about close. They're on the money. Yeah, we've got work to do in Georgia. But it was everywhere.

Yes, that's true. I wish Georgia was a little stronger. I wish Georgia was a little stronger than it is. But that Atlanta sprawl just leaking out. A 2.3 point win? We'll take it, man. We're good. Please, Rich, go.

I was just going to say, look at North Carolina. I know they were concerned about turnout. Our final poll, which we released on Thursday, was Trump 51.1 to Harris 47.1. The margin is 51.1 to Harris 47.7. So we nailed Trump's share of the vote six tenths off of Harris's.

There's a lot of structural disadvantages for Democrats in the Tar Heel state. It tends to poll a lot more left than it is. You know, close. It's close. I mean, four points almost is kind of close. If you, you know, if you want to go by that standard. But North Carolina is like...

Not that much closer than New Jersey. Hold on a second. I just want to say that's a great performance of Trump given Mark Robinson was not doing him any favors. He was sinking him. And the Democrats spent a ton of money in North Carolina. A ton of like a lot of money in North Carolina. You look at the way. I'm very happy with that result. Very good. Well, you look at the way Wisconsin's breaking down 30,000 Delta there.

I mean, you know, thankfully she was off in North Carolina wasting her time instead of, you know, trying to gin up 30,000 more votes in Wisconsin. Right. I mean, our our chasers, Rich, we're not publishing the exact numbers. But let me just say that without our chase in Wisconsin, we can definitively because we can track all this stuff. I mean, you know, the data. Yeah. We watch the ballots come in.

And we... Our chase... Without our chase, Wisconsin falls. What's also crazy is we can look at Arizona. We don't know the final numbers in Arizona because it's a third world country when it comes to running elections. But that's our margin right there and then some. So...

You know, it was a full team effort, but I will tell you the low props came out and they came out roaring. Yeah, I was I was just going to say, like, you guys, you focused a lot on Arizona. You did work in Wisconsin. You had groups like Pressler's group and others in Pennsylvania to doing work. And you can very clearly see that the local local Republicans there, especially in Buck,

Man, they knew what they needed to do, and they needed to add some extra help to do it. The ground game is so important. That certainly is a part of this story. In Michigan, you know, there's a lot of different groups, and I'm not trying to like, you know, I don't want to exclude anybody. I'm just saying that I can give numbers because I know from the 10X Votes crowd, which is like Drew Weirdo over there. I know you guys, you know, Eric Prince's Pet Project.

And, you know, they identified 1.7 million low and no prop voters that they believed if they could get about 300,000, reach about 300,000, that they could flip Michigan. Well, as of the morning of Election Day, when I pulled the list to see how many voters from that low prop list had voted, it was 587,000. I'm not saying they reached all of them, but it's like somebody, I mean,

Maybe they did. I don't know. We'll find out. You can track that, actually, like you guys can. But without these things, this could have went differently. Well, we learned our lesson. So, yeah, let me ask you, Rich. How big of a deal – Guys, in Arizona, amazing.

I mean, well, the numbers are still, but we're up five and I, based on my modeling and our modeling, I anticipate that margin to increase in Arizona. Um, yeah, me too. The New York times has taken off. They're not modeling anymore. They're like, okay, yeah, it's kind of done because it's just not interesting. But again, it's super interesting for us. Call it yet. No, they haven't. But again, Trump is up. He's up 4.7. So for all intents and purposes, he's up five. Um, and he's up 107,000.

up 107,000 votes in Arizona. That's a big one. Yeah, and by the way— And he might have the coattails here. By the way, Carrie can do it. Carrie 100% can do it. What's your take on that, Rich? Yeah, she can.

She can. There's a ton of votes left. There is a lot left. And those last two dumps that were put out, there was a mix of county. That was incredible for her. I mean, that is exactly what she needs going forward. It will be close. But she could eke it out and she could actually do it without carrying Maricopa. You don't want to be there, but because you guys...

And I mean, it was, it was, it was you. I mean, let's be honest, give credit where credit's due because you guys, you definitely focused as you should have on Maricopa, but there are a lot of votes coming in from counties that are changing the math in Arizona. Yeah. Because we staffed heavily in Yavapai and we staffed heavily in Mojave. Yeah. Look at, look at these totals. You used to have to win Maricopa, you know, you used to have to, if you wanted any prayer to win Arizona, but that's just not true anymore.

And then something's happening. Yeah, yeah. Our whole math was like, wait a second. Apache's crooked as a –

three dollar bill but why don't we just extract more votes out of mojave and yavapai yeah rich when we did the math and we're like oh wait you mean that you didn't mean to tell me there's 50 000 uh people in andy biggs district that are registered republicans that just don't vote they don't vote oh and there's 50 there's 58 000 in paul gosar's congressional district that are registered republicans that just don't vote

So, I mean, by the way, a lot of the outstanding votes are in Biggs' CD. So that's going to be a 65-35 drop for us. And I think we're estimating it's about 105, 110,000 votes there. And Schweikert should be okay, too. He's fine. He's more than fine. He'll win by three points. And the guy who's running against him. He'll be good. The guy who's running against him sucks. It's a tough race. It's the way it comes in. It's just the nature of the vote count. I know that district. There's a lot of votes left for him there. He's good.

Those are my people. So, Rich, I want to just continue on the Arizona thing, though. Again, probably around, as I say, St. Patrick's Day, we'll finally get the final canvas. This is pathetic. I mean, Rick, you do this professionally. Can you just say, this is not normal, Arizona. This is not normal. It's not acceptable. Why are we going backwards? I get a call from a reporter this morning, Rich, and the reporter goes,

you would agree that the election was run really smoothly, actually, across Arizona. It's like, we have 63% of the vote in. How is that smooth? Every other state's making us look bad. The New York Times now throws shade on different states. When you hover over their presidential returns, they say what the status of their county is. So you go to Florida...

Votes are counted extremely quickly, with 99% reported by midnight. Yeah. Recent general elections. Arizona. Officials in Maricopa County say full tabulation could take 10 to 13 days. Yeah. I mean, it's just. It's pathetic. It's the law. It needs to be changed the way these laws are in Arizona. Honestly, and I mean, the election's over here, so it's not like you have to worry about hurting anybody's feelings. But this is the old policy.

Republican Party's doing. They put these laws into place and they never changed them because once upon a time, this helped them. So that vote by mail, especially with seniors, getting them to vote and vote early, this was beneficial to them. But how this is being dealt with, I mean, guys, look, the bottom line is you got apologists out there like Garrett and people who don't know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Garrett Archer. We've always gotten along, but he's just like this

shameful apologists for this. Yeah, absolutely. And if we can count 12 to 14 million votes in the state of Florida within three hours, what are you doing? We are Florida-fying Arizona right now. Florida-fying. The Florida-fication. And 2026 is a big year. We've got to get a new AG so Tyler's figured out

We got to get a new governor and we're going to fortify it. This is a joke. It is bad for everybody. The only person who is good for it is Charlie Kirk because we stream all week and we get millions of people wondering what's going on in Arizona. Literally, it is the only benefit for rich because we'll bring you back in. I mean, but we're streaming tonight because it's the only like suspense left is the Arizona Senate race. Well, and Sam Arizona and Sam. I know, but that one, that one's rough. People didn't know when we were going over this yesterday that Nye County is

still had votes out. For people who don't know that county specifically, it's a very Republican county. Right now, Sam Brown is leading in it, 76.2 to 16.7. It's only about 43, 40% of the vote that's been counted because we just didn't know about this other batch of votes. They have a good chunk out. The 10,000 votes, 10,700 votes that has already been tabulated,

Of those, he's netting about 6,400, you know, ballpark on ballpark. And so this is a nice chunk for him. We know kind of what's outstanding in Clark, or at least we have an estimate. They are allowed to receive ballots three days after the election up to 5 p.m. on the third day.

The problem he has, and we'll see how it goes, is he's underperforming Trump in Washoe. He's underperforming Lombardo in Washoe. But the Rurals are so gangbuster because of Trump. The Rurals are so – and not because of Trump. Because of the – again, the ground game. If I could just shout her out, like the Alita Bensons of the world –

running around doing the same work, registering low and no prop voters, getting them to the polls, closing the Democrats' registration edge. This stuff is not sexy work, but it's the work that wins elections. And once upon a time when Joe Biden went into this race, Democrats had an advantage three times the size they have now. It's almost nothing. It's 9,000 registration edge statewide. That's nothing. So, um...

Brown could conceivably pull this off because what we expect to be outstanding in Clark is not enough for Rosen with the amount that she's winning it by if Nye comes in as we expect and as Washoe comes in as we expect. Now, if he loses the remaining vote that's in Washoe, if he loses that by a greater margin than we expect, she can eke it out. But if she doesn't, she's in trouble and Brown could win.

All right. So surprising. Let me ask you, Rich, what is your data show on the youth vote? The media is very interested on youth vote. I'm getting blown up by every reporter on planet Earth right now. Yeah. Yeah. So basically about the youth vote. Yeah. Donald Trump did much, much better with younger voters. I mean, if you look at some of these key, the 18 to 29 group was only about 7 percent of the electorate. If you look at the NBC News exit polls yesterday.

It's a little bit different than the AP vote cast. When the voter validated surveys are done, we'll find out, guys. But the bottom line is here, Trump did considerably better with younger voters. And our polling showed that. Our polling showed that if you broke, if you had a large enough sample size,

And you broke down 18 to 24 versus 25 to 29. You could see somewhat of a difference in their response. But overall, she was underperforming 18 to 29. And if you believe the exit polls, she only beat Trump by about eight points with the 25 to 29, which was his more vulnerable one. In the end, she says that she beat him by 10 with the 18 to 24. However, again,

That's not the case in different states. In some of these battleground states, Trump absolutely overperformed. And, you know, I mean, she beat him. Yeah. And this one, too, is only about 11 points altogether combined. That's nothing. The senior vote was what got all of this attention, right? Going into this election, it's getting more Democratic. Trump is slipping with the senior vote.

Polls have a problem where they're not separating out super seniors from regular seniors that are 65 to 74. That 65 to 74 is getting more Democratic. It is. Yeah, but that's because it's boomers. It's boomers like hippie generation are now like seniors, which I think people are having trouble wrapping their brain around that. That's like – I mean that's a –

That's a Woodstock. It's like 1969 Summer of Love and now they just happen to be seniors. But we think of them like they were about 10 years ago. So that's a really important insight, Rich.

And that's exactly right. And if the poll does not make sure that super seniors who are more difficult to get in, stay on that call when you're giving an interview, if you're not careful and you're 75 plus is not an accurate representation of the overall 65 plus group, you're going to have too many of those boomers. And your senior sample is going to be too democratic. It happened last.

across tons of polls. Michael McDonald, Mr. Professor from my alma mater in UF, he blocked me this year because I pointed out that he has done this now for two consecutive election cycles, put out polls on his social media, acting as if Democrats were going to run away with the senior vote. And it's a response bias. It's a miss with the 75 plus. By the way, go ask Ann Seltzer how that worked out for her in Iowa.

18 to 29 in a voter exit. Please dunk on that, Rich. Yeah, listen. My days of giving Ann the benefit of the doubt are over. She should retire. And, yeah, look, you know I talked to you guys about this. You were early on dunking on Ann. I talked to you guys about some of this stuff privately, right? And we had some conversations on the show as well about it. This is not her first time.

um, what's red flag. All right. Going back to 2020, she spiked that poll before the democratic caucus because Biden was in fourth place. And then they fabricated using Buttigieg as the, uh, as the foil, they fabricated some ridiculous excuse as to why they were dunking on the, why they were spiking the poll because one interviewer may or may not have zoomed in her screen so much that Pete Buttigieg was cut off. That was a lie. That was an excuse. Um,

Our source told us that that was an excuse. They gave us the poll. Mike Cernovich, separately from another source, got it as well. And he knows that they tanked that because the Biden campaign laid on CNN and CNN laid on the Des Moines Register and they in turn laid on Ann and she caved. And she caved because she's a liberal. All right. And I'm being told, fast forward to 2020, by the way, she was doing headline polling. It's tight with Biden in Iowa. It was never tight.

We pulled Iowa off the table in September because the public polling project has to make decisions based on what is and what isn't, you know, justifiable to poll. And that was Trump plus eight in September. It was never tied. And he won the state. He won it comfortably. Now we fast forward to this. She's horrified.

Holding on to a poll that came on your show, Charlie, and I told you this, or I told Andrew, I think, he was guest hosting that day. She held a poll that showed that Trump was up nearly 20 points on Joe Biden, and she didn't release it, almost as if she knew that Democrats were going to replace Joe Biden with Harris, because she only released it a month later when they re-polled Harris separate

and then could use it as a narrative. And in the story, it said, and by the way, the Des Moines Register poll actually polled last month in something we didn't show you. And it shows that Harris was much stronger than Joe Biden. That's narrative polling. All right. And then now we get this.

The reason I knew, and Charlie, you can confirm this. I told you about it. I texted you it. The reason I knew about the Des Moines Register poll's results two days before they were released is because the source...

The source told me that Ann was cackling up a storm on the phone with Harris surrogates saying, I'm going to drop a bomb in this son of a bitch's lap. All right. So this is not appropriate behavior for a credible pollster. This is the behavior of a political activist, a partisan activist.

And I'm done with this idea that Ann Seltzer is above reproach. I'm done with this idea that she's a respected pollster. She doesn't wear a chastity belt. All right. She's been doing this stuff for years. It's over. Look at how big this miss is. That isn't a miss that can be explained away even by response bias, guys. This is like and this is what the source told me.

After January 6th, something broke in Anne's brain and she's been seeing what she wants to see in the data and it's getting worse. And they can't raise any questions about their concerns about her ability to remain objective because her reputation is so bulletproof to be fired.

Yeah. So so, Rich, let's just kind of close it all off. So, Rich, I have in a group chat with Rich and another friend and I've talked to Rich. Rich, you deserve a lot of credit. Your your data was spot on. Your your data was spot on this entire time. Rich, you basically called seven for seven. Right. Yeah. When we didn't pull was well, we didn't pull Wisconsin because this is my thinking. And again, we're talking about budgets and stuff, you know, but my thinking was Wisconsin was always thought to have been the easier lift for Trump. Right.

Pennsylvania, potentially the easiest if in a weird situation, and Michigan the hardest. So I figured if the Keystone State is going to Trump, then the Great Lakes states vote together. I'm going to say this again.

polling be damned unless there's some kind of a weird election, something happens. And I think what happened here with Wisconsin is what you said. There weren't as many ballot chasers in Wisconsin. You guys were there and I mean, you are the margin, right? But there were multiple groups in Pennsylvania. There are multiple groups. Well,

one real big one in Michigan doing their thing. And I think that's probably what explains this disparity. But we hold those two because we figured, you know, they're both ends of the spectrum. And if Trump is ahead in both of them, if he's going to win both of them, he's going to win all three of them. He's going to win all three. But yeah, Nevada, even we got right, Charlie, it looks like we're going to understate him. And, you know, I'm a Nevada skeptic. I have long been a

Andrew is a Nevada bull. No, I'm a Nevada bull. Now I'm bullish. I'm bullish now. Did you see John Ralston just said that he didn't think the culinary unions – He's a clown. No, but I think he's – totally. But he just threw up his hands because I think he did an Ann Seltzer thing too with that .3 call for Kamala based on the EV. Everybody's looking at him going like, what the hell are you talking about? And sure enough, he was way wrong. But now he's just – it's over, so he's just being honest, and he's saying –

He's saying, guess what? The culinary union, they haven't called it yet. What are you talking about? This thing's over. Whatever. And he goes, he said, it's not going to be nearly enough to save the culinary union, and it's probably not even going to be enough to save Rosen.

That's John Ralston right now. I told you because that nigh vote we didn't know about. And the truth is I have – I've talked to people. The culinary unions have made fools out of me before. I really thought that Sharon Engel, even though she was a bad candidate, she was still polling so far ahead. You're right, guys. I mean you remember some of these races.

Adam Laxalt, every time someone from the culinary union has said, look, Rich, I know what the poll says. I'm telling you, though, we're going to get these people out and it's going to be wrong. So be cautious. Right. Get a heads up. This year I spoke to somebody and they said there's no point to even help her. He's going to crush her. We can't stop it.

We can't stop it. There's too many defections. Their conversations, and these guys are good. They know what they're doing. They know how to get their vote out. Their connections were telling them, you got to do something. But there's no way that you're going to stop. And it was the big problem, guys, Hispanics.

Hispanics. The big problem was they weren't going to be told what to do this time. They just weren't young. The young people were, quote, defiant and rebellious, and they were independent and thinking on their own. And it just was a it was a problem from the jump. And then also they said not for nothing. But this woman never even came here. They don't know her. She they never supported her. They supported Joe Biden. And.

They don't know this woman from Adam. So you're not going to be able to lean on them like that this time. Rich, impossible to know for sure. But if you had to gun to your head, who performs better on November 5th, Kamala Harris or Joe Biden?

Joe Biden. Wow. Joe Biden. Look at look at the unions. You think it's the unions or the white vote? Look, I think that data from the Teamsters really says it all. Catholics. Yes, Charlie. Exactly. Like I spent a whole show on inside the numbers going over our final Pennsylvania poll. Yeah. The margin with Catholics over Joe Biden was single digits. Trump was winning them. But he and which was a clawback because Biden won them by one. He's a terrible Catholic. Yeah.

Right, right, right. But the margin with Catholics versus Harris was double digits. And when I put that poll out, people were like, there's no way that he's going to beat her by 12 points with Catholics. Yeah, guess what? He beat her by 18 points over there with Catholics. So my poll understated him.

Catholics showed up. I think Catholics are getting increasingly more based. Can't kill the babies, man. It's like evangelicals are getting flimsier a little bit, which is concerning. By the way, I also think this thing, we just anecdotally hear a lot of voters will throw in their own things when we're, especially in these texting interviews, because they feel like they could just say something real quick off the cuff.

The transgender thing, the watching of a woman. Hold on. We're on YouTube. We're on YouTube. You can talk about it more broadly, but that issue, the woke stuff. The Olympics? Yeah. Disturbing. I think so, and I think Trump's closing ads were excellent, by the way. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
