Polling Updates and Election Strategy 00:11:08
Hey, everybody.
Today, the Charlie Kirk show, Robert Kahaley, we go around the horn in the latest polling updates.
And then Darren Bailey, who is running for governor in Illinois, I'm a big supporter of his.
And I pray he can unseat J.B. Pritzker.

Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
Joining us now is the most accurate pollster in America.
His firm is Trafalgar, and it is Robert Cahaley.
Robert, welcome back to the program.
Thank you for joining us.
Robert, what are you seeing from a macro trend right now as we head quickly into Tuesday?
You know, you're kind of in the wind psychology now.
I mean, even when Saturday Night Live is conceding the Republicans are going to win, it's perpetuating this idea that as this gap closes, people who are on the fence, and there's a lot of people, believe it or not, who just kind of want to be on the side of what's going to happen, that win psychology is taking over.
And so undecided and people that were from third-party candidates that end up wanting to have a say-so are all breaking toward the Republicans in these races.
What races in particular are you seeing breaking?
I saw a poll where you guys published that showed that Bennett only up two points in the Senate race in Colorado.
Is that right?
And frankly, that would surprise me because we had seen O'Day down like five or six points recently.
I think he had some kind of spat maybe with Trump or something, but for whatever reason, the Republicans have decided to kind of come back together in Colorado.
And we were told you should check again.
And they were right.
It's a very close one.
Bennett's a tough guy, obviously, but he's still under 50.
And that's the thing about this.
When you've got these incumbents under 50, anything is possible.
So, yeah, talk more about that.
Why is that so important to notice that if an incumbent can't touch 50?
Well, you know, it's one of those things where when you see a big number on a poll, you got to see what the difference is.
And so for a while, these things were like the Republicans maybe get 39, 40, and the Democrats like 48, 49.
It's that that incumbent hasn't made the sale.
I mean, as an incumbent, you want to have polling numbers that are well over 50.
So even if some people decide against you, you still win.
And it was kind of what we saw in 2021 in New Jersey.
I kept noticing, man, there's a big gap, but that incumbent ate over 50.
And that's one of the reasons we polled New Jersey.
Wish we'd have polled it earlier.
When we polled it late, we realized it was a real contest there.
And, you know, it ended up only being, we were only a third of a point, a one and one third point off of what it actually was.
And nobody else was close because they just didn't understand that people don't break toward these incumbents when people aren't happy.
Right.
So what is the one thing then you could say before Tuesday that might be an X factor?
Do you think Donald Trump announcing that he's going to run in 2024 is a positive thing?
Walk us through that.
I think it's a negative thing for Donald Trump because if he announces he's going to run, then whatever happens.
I mean, let's say the Republicans win 52 seats.
It would have been, they would have won 54.
And everything is going to get blamed on him for anything, any expectation not met.
But if he doesn't do anything, then a lot of candidates he had picked are going to win.
And he obviously has a huge part in that victory.
So I think from Donald Trump's perspective, it's not in his best interest to do so.
And it's also, you don't want to take the public off this being a referendum on Biden, because the reason these guys are suffering is because it's a referendum on Biden.
Don't mix that message that's close to the election.
Don't make it a Biden-Trump rematch.
Don't muddy the water.
Donald Trump gets to take an incredible victory life if these guys win.
And the last thing he wants to do is have anything blamed on him if someone loses.
Right.
So he has said, though, regardless of that, he has said that he's running in 2024.
Let's play this tape and it's already been leaked.
Let's play CUP 123.
And now, in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, I will very, very, very probably do it again.
Okay.
Very, very, very probably.
Get ready.
That's all I'm telling you very soon.
So get ready.
And he's saying all that.
So do you think that might help Canada?
Very, very, very probably.
It's not the same as I officially announced.
But yes, I think he's kind of walking the line, Charlie.
I think he's doing exactly what he should do.
Not completely getting his toe in the water, but keeping his name in the conversation.
How does that kind of very, very, very probably thing help people like Herschel Walker or Oz, these states where increased real support could really make a big difference?
You know, I think people have always kind of assumed, you know, he keeps saying, I'm going to make an announcement at some point and you're going to be very happy.
I mean, he always has a way of kind of indicating that's what he's going to do without actually engaging with the magic words of saying you're officially running.
So I don't know that this is going to be that different because I think people are, I mean, the media will try to make it different because frankly, they want to gin up anything that's going to muddy this water.
But as far as Republicans are concerned, the ones who like Trump already feel like this is something he's going to do.
And the ones who don't like Trump already think this is something he's going to do.
So I think it's kind of baked in, but it will motivate certain Republicans just to kind of be a little more energetic.
But right now, this is an election.
This is a rejection of what's happened.
And in many ways, it's a taking out of frustration that's left over from 2020.
You know, we did a poll a few months ago that asked, have the Republicans convinced you that they've earned your vote?
And the answer is no.
But the Democrats, on the other hand, have convinced you, you don't want to vote for them.
So it's a matter of they're not becoming Republican.
What people are doing is they're looking for something different than what they have.
And I think the Republican Party will have a chance to earn those votes.
But just because these people get elected and a lot of Republicans win doesn't mean they've become Republicans.
It's a chance to earn them and keep voting.
So let's talk about the Oregon governor's race.
You recently polled it.
What's the big takeaway there?
Well, it's not like a majority of people in Oregon are for Republican, but it is.
The Democrat infighting has led to two candidates in the race, one running as an independent who is a Democrat, who's pulling over 12% in almost every poll.
Now, when you divide the Democrats like that, Republican has a shot.
And so that's why we show, and all the other polls show that too.
So unless the Democrats somehow heal themselves and decide to come back together in the next four or five days, that's an excellent chance for Republican pickup.
And Oregon is an extremely divided state right now.
You have people who are mad about what's going on in Portland.
You actually have counties who want to secede and become part of Idaho.
So there's a lot going on in this governor's race, and there's a lot of mixed feelings in Oregon.
So I think that divided Democrat organization will give the Republicans a real shot.
So how about New York?
How does Lee Zeldon look?
I mean, people are talking a lot about this race.
What's your take on that?
Well, you know, we're the ones who started people talking about this race two months ago when we polled it because it reminded me of New Jersey.
I'm like, this is interesting.
Why is she so weak?
We've shown it getting tighter and tighter.
Our last ball had basically a dead heat between them.
And that's very different from everybody else's poll.
And I understand that.
But we're used to being a little different than them.
But we see it's the only state in the country where crime is number one.
Economy is number two.
And for the first two polls, we kept seeing the stuff like Cuomo, Cuomo.
People would talk about Cuomo.
So the last one, we actually asked the question, who did a better job, Cuomo, or Hochul?
And they said, Cuomo, 60-40.
And then we said if it was Zeldon versus Cuomo, who would you vote for?
Cuomo would be Zeldon 55-45.
Now, that tells me that Zeldon's coalition has a lot of Cuomo machine in it.
And that's very positive because that machine has existed in New York since the 80s.
And they're not excited about Kathy Hochul.
I think that they're part of Cuomo's organization.
What does that machine?
What does that machine look like?
I think it's basically people in every single county and in every single township that are used to gathering votes, that are used to making sure people turn out.
I mean, that is a good old-fashioned political machine, and it's all about turnout.
It's all about people on the ground and about coalition politics.
And as you know, a lot of Northeastern politics is coalition politics.
So I think she's not getting the full power of being the Democrat nominee.
And I think that gives Elden a real shot.
Yeah, Cuomo is out for revenge, I think.
And he is not, I think he's telling a lot of his machinery to stand down.
And I think Cuomo wants to become governor again and is willing to do it.
Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

Robert, tell us about the New Mexico governor's race.
Florida Libertarian Races Explained 00:04:05
Just the Republican, just a hair up.
It's a very competitive race.
One of the more effective things being done is the Republican turn, excuse me, the Republican Governor Association has run this very, very effective ad that features the fact that Grisham, through the COVID stuff, basically let this one prisoner out twice.
And the second time when the prisoner was in, he actually got recorded talking about killing his girlfriend.
And the second time he got furloughed for COVID, he did, in fact, kill her.
And just they're really pushing the border and the fact that she hasn't been very tough on crime.
These are very effective issues down there.
In addition, you have this movement of so many in the Hispanic community toward the Republican Party because they just feel the Democrat Party has abandoned them on a lot of social issues that are important to them.
So I think this is one to watch.
I think it's going to be a nail biter.
And there's quite a, you know, there's quite a Democrat machine in that state, but we've got a slight edge for the Republican, but I think it's one to watch.
I think it's a real possible Republican pickup.
Can you talk a little bit about how Florida has now just become this deep red state?
How did that happen over the last couple of years so suddenly?
Well, you know, a lot of it has to do with the black people who are moving to Florida, which is, you know, Paul Zeldon.
Some of the best voters he had have already moved to Florida.
But I think it's just, it's the something one of the things about COVID is it really kind of reinforced federalism in a way that people understood how important their state government was.
And so though you had Trump barely win Florida in 2016 and win it by three and a half points in 2020 and DeSantis and Scott barely win in 2018, I think they're going to win it larger.
There's just something to be said for good governing, especially as it contrasts to the other states.
And so there's a pride that Florida has taken and we've done this right.
And DeSantis has done a great job at not only cultivating and growing the Republican Party relationship with Hispanics, but absolutely just building a greater coalition.
And when people see things done right, they tend to gravitate it.
I mean, believe it or not, people actually like good government and doing a good job.
And so Florida's natural contrast is one of the reasons we spent very little time polling it.
I was asked in a thing the other day, well, what about Florida?
I said, oh, I was only polling swing states.
Arizona, what are you seeing?
What are you hearing?
What are you looking at on the trends there?
Yeah, Arizona's really interesting.
Carrie Lake has just kind of burst through.
They tried to marginalize her, but she's just so darn good on the stump.
And it's funny because everybody's like, well, you know, should Hobbes have better?
No, Hobbes made the right decision because that would have been a massacre.
And she is, some of these races are beneficial to each other.
And so I think she's been a great benefit to Masters.
And I think they're kind of yin and yang and very helpful.
One of the other things is Masters, his ability to, I mean, how many Republicans around the country could get a libertarian to leave the race like that?
And I think that margin right there, we've looked at it and we're about to come up with a new poll.
I think Matt Tower and Insider Advantage might already have what I went out today.
But losing the libertarian, having their people, some of them will have voted early for libertarian and then some may vote on election day.
But my thought is about two-thirds of that libertarian vote end up with masters.
And that makes this race neck and neck.
And I think, again, you take an incumbent neck and neck, keep an incumbent below 50.
I think there's an excellent chance.
So I think this is a very tight race.
NAD Benefits and Strong Cell Pitch 00:02:23
It's going to be a very lot of intensity, even the last few days.
But no matter what Kelly says, he cannot escape the percentage he's voted with Biden.
And the thing is, talk about contrast here in Arizona in that state, you have an immediate contrast with Sinema, who has not done that.
The maverick that not letting the party push you around that people want in Arizona is her, not him.
That's right.
Robert Cahaley from Trafalgar.
Great job as always.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Are you tired of feeling tired?
I've never experienced anything quite like the new Strong Cell product.

Illinois Safety Act and Taxes 00:15:23
I am from Illinois, proudly from Illinois, and it's so sad to see what's happened to my former great state.
And I'm not done talking about it or raising awareness about it.
We have got to get rid of J.B. Pritzker, and we have got to support Darren Bailey for governor.
And this race is a lot closer than the media is covering it.
I think this is going to be a very, very close race.
And so joining us now is Darren Bailey to talk about how we're going to get rid of J.B. Pritzker.
Darren, welcome to the program.
Hey, God bless you, Charlie.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be here and just to share hope to the people of Illinois and ultimately all across this nation.
Yeah, amen.
So, Darren, let's get into it.
Talk about your race.
Talk about how it's going.
You're running up against a very dangerous person who's never worked a day in his life, born on third, and thought he hit a triple.
The floor is yours.
Tell us about your race.
Oh, that's exactly right.
I'm a farmer from the southern part of Illinois, and I served for 17 years on our local school board.
And my wife and I are passionate about children and about the future.
And I was called into public service the same time that J.B. Pritzker came in.
I got elected when I stood up against a tax hiking representatives in my district.
And I've been pushing back ever since.
I pushed back against JB in May of 2020 when I sued him over these lockdowns and these mandates.
And we actually won the lawsuit on July 2nd.
And I've been standing up ever since.
My senator decided to step down.
I stepped into that position at the call of the constituents and the people of Southeast Illinois and term limited myself for 10 years.
And I really thought that for my four children and our 11 or 12 grandchildren that I was just going to do the due diligence of serving and making a difference.
But then coming in also in the super minority with the Republican Party, I found out that I didn't have a voice.
So I had some choices.
I could quit, go back home.
I could just serve out my time, collect a paycheck, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
We began to step up and push back and mainly speak out.
And people are responding.
People in Illinois are looking.
They're wanting this hope.
They're wanting help.
They're needing restoration.
And that's what we're offering as we partner ourselves with good people.
I'm going to tell you something.
I believe on Tuesday, the nation is going to be shocked at what happens here in Illinois because people check out our webpage, Bailey4Illinois.com, mainly our Facebook page, Darren Bailey for Governor.
And they see a movement like I don't think the nation has seen.
So, and it's mainly the people in Chicago and suburbs.
And I tell people we're winning.
Yeah, but what about Chicago?
No, get on there and check them out.
People are tired.
So I think the change that the state needs is coming.
Yeah, amen.
So talk about the crime rising in Illinois.
And then there is the new Safety Act.
We'll play a piece of tape in a second there.
I mean, it is widespread crime, widespread looting, and really sick things happening.
Talk about that and what you will do as governor.
So year to date in Chicago, over 1,300 carjackings, over 600 murders.
Every two hours and 21 minutes, someone is being shot.
Every 11 hours and 54 minutes, someone is being murdered.
There's a 1,700 vacancy for people in the Chicago Police Department.
They're walking away.
They're leaving.
So here's the deal: Chicago has no cash bail.
And with their state's attorney, Kim Fox, well, she doesn't prosecute crime.
And the reality, when people understand that, well, then they begin to understand what the reality is going to be for the rest of the state of Illinois come January 1st, when 4,000 to 5,000 violent criminals will be released from jail, when people who commit crimes just simply will not be prosecuted.
It is going to become a land of lawlessness.
And all of this is propagated, supported by J.B. Pritzker, who signed this into law, a 700-page document that even at this very moment, he and the people that crafted this behind closed-locked doors, they don't even understand what it says.
But 100 out of our 102 states' attorneys across the state, they know what it says.
They've stood up and pushed back against it.
A third of them being Democrats, a half of those filing suit against J.B. Pritzker.
And for the first time in Illinois history, a governor candidate in the general race has the 100% backing and endorsement of law enforcement.
And that is me because they know what the Safety Act says.
And it will completely destroy this state if it is enacted.
Let's play Cut 124.
It's extraordinary that Pritzker is running on this.
Play Cut 124.
It abolishes cash bail for almost every offense.
This includes, but isn't limited to, kidnapping, armed robbery, second-degree murder, drug-induced homicide, aggravated DUI, threatening a public official, and aggravated fleeing and eluding.
Offenders released on electronic monitoring have to be in violation for 48 hours before law enforcement can act.
Officers will no longer be able to remove trespassers from your residence or your businesses.
Someone could decide to live in your shed, and all we can do is give them a ticket.
Homeless guy can live in your shed?
I mean, Darren, how is this even remotely possible in the great state of Illinois?
Well, when you want to destroy a constitutional republic, I think history shows us that one of the first steps is removing law and order.
The next step is attacking education.
And here in Illinois, J.B. Pritzker is hammering down on both of those.
And I believe that's exactly what's at hand.
This man has some really serious problems.
And I mean, good grief at starting with the Safety Act and then attacking the family and then attacking our children.
You know, his family is the number one sponsors across America for experimental gender surgery in children's hospitals.
I mean, this whole thing is just, it's concerning, but I'm telling you, the people of Illinois, we've done our job.
We've got the message out.
We're in every community across the state and people are waking up.
The church is waking up.
I think that people are going to respond.
And I think we're going to accomplish something amazing on November 8th.
Yeah, I sure hope so.
Chicago moderate Democrats need to recognize and wake up that the old Democrat Party machine does not work like the old machine.
That this, it's widespread vagrancy and homelessness.
And Pritzker, he is such a weak person and he is doing such an awful job in Chicago and Illinois.
Darren, how much, I mean, Illinois has lost a congressional seat, didn't it?
Illinois is losing population.
How is Pritzker?
How does he answer this?
Well, he doesn't.
He just lies about things.
And so here's the deal.
Since J.B. Pritzker took office, there are 45,000 fewer jobs in the state right now.
There are 125,000 fewer people working.
But he contends to stand up and just tell people whatever makes him feel good.
And if the constituency, if we, the people aren't educated and engaged, and I'm going to tell you something, that's really the problem.
And thank you for what you do continually because it is about waking up the church.
It is about waking up the parents, the mom and dad, the working families who are tired and they've had enough and to realize that it can be better.
We can change this.
That's the beauty of what this, what our constitutional republic offers with free elections every two years.
But we need people stepping up and stepping into positions of school boards, positions of city hall, county board members running for these state positions and congressional positions.
And we have got to get involved.
We have got to show up.
We have got to vote.
We've got to be poll watchers and election judges.
A government of the people, by the people, for the people can only function properly with the participation of the people.
Our brave men and women that served our country, you know, they served to protect our freedoms.
And right now, today, it's up to us to uphold those freedoms.
The primary race that we just went through, 18% of the registered voters on average in every county showed up to vote.
Peoria County had 9% registered voters show up.
We're going to lose our freedoms if we don't step up and participate in this and at least fulfill our duty to vote.
It's the least that we can do.
And I mean, in Illinois, it's high taxes, it's high property taxes, it's crime.
And so Democrats in Illinois will say that it's fake news about the Safety Act.
Can you just dive in a little bit more and separate fact from fiction and just reinforce that point?
Well, and that's exactly what they're doing.
All any and all information that's being pushed out there, they are coming against everything and saying no fake news.
So, and they're even pushing out polls and information that says, well, no, crime actually resides at like a, you know, a 10% to the problem.
It's actually the economy.
But here's the problem.
The economy here in Illinois is the result of the lawlessness that's taking place, and that's coming.
You go down to Michigan Avenue right now in Chicago, and you see a 30% vacancy rate of the retail space there.
And you see businesses packing up and moving out literally every day.
I mean, a month ago, the CEO of McDonald's called Chicago a city in crisis, only to be scolded by Mayor Lightfoot and telling him that he needs to get educated on the issues.
I mean, that is blindness.
That's the arrogance that's happening all across Illinois.
So, again, when people don't feel safe, every weekend, there's over 50 shootings.
There's usually double-digit murders.
It's nonsense.
And many of the Chicago police officers that I talk to, many of the off-duty officers usually serve on my security detail when I'm in the city, and they tell me that when they bring someone into custody, whoever they bring in, nine times out of 10, walks out of that door before they even have time to finish filing their report.
So, crime is the number one issue.
Families, friends are being terrorized all over the street.
And these chum baloons of J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot and Kim Fox don't understand what's going on.
It's just, it's recently I've called the Chicago Pritzkerville because people are just, their freedoms are being taken away.
And many people are moving out of the city.
So, and then right behind that, obviously, is getting our education intact.
And Illinois students as Chicago.
Okay, here's some facts for you that really bring it home.
Chicago public school system, only 20% of the students can read and do math at grade level.
And the majority of high school students and grade school students all across Illinois cannot read and do math at grade level.
This was reported a few weeks ago by the Wall Street Journal when they gave Illinois an F on education.
And guess what happened?
J.B. Pritzker came out and said, nope, fake news.
That's lies.
They didn't report on the actual data, which was actual Illinois State Board of Education data.
So, and then finally, the high taxes, the business will not come to Illinois until there is relief.
Families will continue to move out of Illinois until there is relief.
And all of these items, and coupled with an egregious energy bill, coupled with the removal of parental notification, all of this, J.B. Pritzker has created over the last four years.
And he stands firm telling people he's even going to do more if he's elected to four more.
So the future of Illinois, and I believe the future of our nation hangs on this election coming up.
And I truly believe I know Illinois is going to do something amazing.
Look, it's very simple.
If J.B. Pritzker gets re-elected, second-degree murderers will be released the next day.
Don't believe me, PlayCut 35, Joe Rogan.
They're essentially eliminating cash bail for almost everything dangerous.
The law includes secondary murder, arson.
So you could light a guy's house on fire, get right out of jail, drug-induced homicide, robbery, kidnapping, aggravated battery, burglary, intimidation, aggravated driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding drug offenses, and threatening a public official.
No bail.
No bail at all whatsoever.
People can't even believe this when they hear this, Darren.
I mean, and Darren, you're a lifelong Illinoisan.
You're from the southern part of the state, which I actually think you're going to run up the score in the southern part of the state and really shock the world.
And all you got to do is do better in the collars and not lose that bad, that poorly, I should say, in downtown Chicago.
I mean, I think you can win McHenry.
I think you can win Kane.
I don't think you're going to win Cook.
I'm sorry, Darren.
If you win Cook, you'll win by 20 points.
And I think you just need to lose slightly in Lake.
But what's so interesting, Darren, is the collars that I just mentioned there: Kane, McHenry, Lake, those on Will County, I think you're going to win Will big time.
They used to be all conservative Republican.
What happened?
Well, the same thing.
We conservatives got a little too just engaged in life.
And that's kind of, you know, we're working.
We're being, we're creating businesses.
We're raising families.
And we just assume that everything that's been fine is going to stay fine.
And then we kind of check out of government and we let these rogue interests like J.B. Pritzker come in.
And, you know, I think when people, when the Democrats elected J.B. Pritzker, I think they thought they were, you know, electing an enlightened rich guy that was going to come in and straighten our finances out.
And instead, we got a radical rich guy.
I mean, this guy is, as he's increased our property taxes.
He's, I mean, he's going to blow up our energy grid with this green new deal that he passed.
So I like to tell people, I think we got a pig and a poke and I think that the people are going to want their money back that voted for him four years ago.
Yeah, I think that's right.
And if you go to J.B. Pritzker's website, he's not running on anything.
He's just trying to count on how Democrat Illinois has become.
But, you know, we've had Republican governors and plenty of times.
And we had Bruce Rauner, we had Edgar.
We had other ones that went to jail.
We won't talk about that.
But I mean, Illinois, as I mentioned very often, we have term limits in Illinois, one term in office, one term in jail.
He talks about leading to the COVID crisis.
He is responsible for the suicide of kids in the suburbs of Chicago.
He is responsible for the carnage of shutting down Illinois recklessly and unnecessarily.
Darren, talk about it.
No, he is.
A day one agenda for me will be a cleaning house and all the agency directors.
We will fire the entire state board of education.
We will create school choice.
The money will follow the children.
Realignment Election in Illinois 00:02:36
Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois, all of these agencies will have new DCFS.
His own director has been held into contempt 12 times.
Nine foster children have died under his care.
It's time for change.
It's been over 100 years since Illinois has elected a farmer.
It's been a long time since we've had a true conservative.
And I think the people are ready.
I think I've earned their trust, especially up in the Chicago and the suburbs.
And I think we're going to have a pretty great day when all this starts.
I mean, the hard work begins on November 9th.
Yeah.
Amen.
So your website again is Bailey for Governor.
Is that right?
That's right.
Well, BaileyForillinois.com.
Bailey for Illinois.
And the actions on our Facebook page, Darren Bailey for Governor.
That's where the action's at.
And you can see where we're at all day long.
My Lieutenant Governor Stephanie Trussell, my wife, Cindy, we're out working our tails off, earning the trust and the respect of the people.
And we have a lot of great people listening to us.
We love our Illinois and Chicago listeners.
That means you live in Cook or you live in Lake or you live in DuPage or you live in Will or you live in Kane or you live in one of the collar counties, which means you got to listen to what I'm saying, listen to Darren and get other people to get out to vote.
Okay.
J.B. Pritzker has destroyed the state of Illinois and Illinois is bankrupt.
It's corrupt.
Madigan is going to go to jail and all this stuff is terrible.
You got Lightfoot and all this.
This is a realignment election.
The numbers are there.
I've seen it happen in Illinois.
Illinois is a tough state to poll.
Darren, 30 seconds, talk about how you're going to shock the world, but we need everyone to show up.
That is exactly right.
Don't assume that people are going to show up and vote.
Get out and bring this home.
Vote today.
Vote on or before if you think you're going to be gone.
Make sure you hold your friends and your family accountable to show up.
And, you know, our future is simply at stake.
J.B. Pritzker is pushing a false narrative against me.
There is no one in this state that feels safe.
There's no one in this state that doesn't feel taxed and our schools are hijacked.
We're going to take that back.
It's very simple.
Illinois, you're listening to me right now.
You can move out and move to Arizona or vote.
How about you vote for Darren Bailey and make my home state, our home state, our beautiful state of Illinois, great again?
God bless you, Darren.
Thank you for stepping up and keep on campaigning.
And if you beat J.B. Pritzker, I will be at your inauguration.
You could write that down.
God bless you.
God bless.
I would love to see that.
God bless you.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
