Happy Independence Day, as they say.
And we have here two amazing co-hosts, Blake Neff and Tyler Boyer.
Say hello, guys.
Who's the second one?
Exactly.
Blake Neff, Tyler Boyer.
By the way, I'll just let you guys take the show from here.
Growing up, Independence Day is always my favorite day of the year.
You know it's only one of two days I have dessert?
Is that right?
What is the dessert?
Oh, it's a mint chocolate chip from Handles.
Oh, Handles is good stuff.
I pride myself on discipline and self-control.
Two days a year, my birthday.
And on July 4th, I have ice cream.
All right.
Do they have a Handles in Scottsdale?
Oh, it's the best.
Yeah, they've got a Handles down in Gilbert.
It's incredible.
It's unbelievable.
I have to go to this place.
It runs circles around Ben and Jerry's.
And what's the other one, Governor?
Cold Stone.
Oh, Cold Stone.
I might just go get some as soon as this conversation's over.
No, Handles is, like, legit stuff.
It's, like, it's real ice cream.
When Erica was pregnant, she would have it, like, every Friday.
I went and got Handles.
It's, like, insanely caloric.
It's made with all the, you know... The real stuff.
All the real good stuff.
So, happy Independence Day, everybody.
This is an Independence Day special, and we're going to go through some of your questions that you guys email us here while we're on air.
Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
But most importantly, we want to make sure you guys get into the mindset, because this Thursday, today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we have an opportunity to expand our base and to make this not a weekend of just celebration, debauchery, and fireworks.
A little bit of that, if you want to do that, I guess is fine, but is also of action.
Tyler is here.
He runs the largest organization in the conservative movement.
Not the largest in the country, because there's some left-wing ones that are still bigger.
Right, Tyler?
We're getting there.
In order to register voters, chase ballots, Tyler, what is Turning Point Action going to be doing this weekend?
Well, Charlie, what we're doing and we're encouraging everybody to do is download the Turning Point Action application.
So it's the Turning Point Action application you can find on the App Store or the Google Play Store.
It's blue.
You can find it anywhere you get your applications.
I got to time out.
We have so many people.
I can't find it.
How do I do it?
So, like, let's go down to I know nothing.
Go to, on your phone, wherever it says Apple App Store, so it says App Store, or Google Play Store, you go to it and you type in Turning Point Action.
Now make sure it's Turning Point Action, not USA.
Turning Point Action.
USA is red.
Action is blue.
So you want to download the blue one.
Yes, I see it right here and I press open because I have it already.
You press open, you go into it, it's going to have a feed that's on there.
A lot of Charlie's Show, everything else that you can follow, Twitter accounts will pop up.
The top left-hand corner, you press the arrow and type in your phone number and that's going to get you into all of the activism tools.
So the arrow in the top left-hand corner You just type in your phone number.
It's going to send you a code just like other applications that you have on your phone.
Confirms that you are really you.
This is how we keep leftists off the application.
And then once that's confirmed, you can get in and start using the tools, including registering people to vote.
So, I mean, it's that simple.
You can also send text messages, right, to your local friend group.
So you can knock doors immediately.
So after the 4th of July, the application will be set up so that knocking doors, making phone calls, making texts, writing postcards are all super easy with a green button that says, Voters Near Me.
You press that button and it will open up and allow you to contact all the people who don't usually vote or may not vote in this election so you can start building relationships with them.
And you can also make calls and there's all you could send postcards.
We're going to talk about that.
Yes.
What is that?
Huge.
And actually have to give a lot of credit to Scott Pressler and Early Vote Action, who is a good friend and partner.
we've helped develop all this together with him.
You can actually go and press send postcards and it gives you the full script.
So you can write a letter or a postcard to anyone that is set up to send to.
So in Scott's application, lots of Pennsylvania counties you can send to.
In our application, you can send them to Arizona, Wisconsin, and then anyone nearby you.
Take out your phone right now and download that Turning Point Action app.
What an amazing tool as you go to barbecues, as you go to fireworks displays and parades.
Today, all across the country, make your Independence Day weekend count.
Every new voter might save the country.
So, Tyler, just on Real America's Voice, we were walking through what individuals can do.
So, right now, someone might be driving in the car, AM560, The Answer, in Chicago on 355 going south.
I did it many times.
They're going to a fireworks show.
They're going to take their kids to a water park.
They're going to beautiful weather in Chicago.
Or they might be driving right now on KRLA in California.
Or they might be in the battleground state of Atlanta.
And our call to action right now, we're going to get to some questions too, is make the Independence Day, make July 4th weekend matter.
Yep.
What does that mean from a political action standpoint?
We need you to get involved.
You can start doing that by downloading the Turning Point Action application.
You can find that wherever you get your apps.
So the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store.
Also tpaction.com has a hyperlink.
Right?
Very easy.
TPAction.com.
TPAction.com.
You can go on there.
You just press the button, right?
There's a button in the top right-hand corner that says Get Our App.
And it should hyperlink you to the app store, right?
That's right.
That's exactly right, if you do it on your phone.
Second thing is, is just registering voters.
Being ready, like you said.
So what does that mean?
If someone says, what does it mean to register voters?
Well, this is why you need the app, because we make it easy.
Once you get in, and you get into the Activism Tools section, the arrow in the top left-hand corner, there's a nice, easy button that you can push that says, Register to Vote.
Uh, if you want to go to our website, it's tpaction.com slash vote, which I use all the time, which Charlie his, his, he sends me every week, like two to three.
I've been a monster in Scottsdale, man.
And this is what our full-time reps are doing, right?
This is what everybody's doing at Turning Point Action is we're registering people everywhere we go.
Uh, but tpaction.com slash vote helps the easiest way to do this because it's just like the, the tools the left is putting together.
So it gives you a form you fill it out quickly that way we can follow up with people in case they don't actually register to vote.
Press go and then it takes you over to your state's website to do that.
The only thing you basically need to have ready is that state ID or driver's license.
So the biggest question that people always have is Do I have to have an ID in the state where I'm registering?
Yes, you do in most cases, almost every case.
Do you have to be the full-time resident of that state?
So the laws differ.
So how they identify.
So what we do know is in most, you know, in every state, you can't be registered in two places, right?
You can't vote in two places is mostly the law.
But sometimes you can be registered in two places, but you shouldn't be.
Yeah, I mean... And you should, like when I leave a state, I call them and say, get me off the voter rolls.
Yeah, get me off the voter rolls.
I did that in Florida and Illinois.
But even if you made a mistake, you forgot to do that, you re-registered, just don't vote in both places.
That's illegal.
That's illegal.
If you get re-registered in the new place that you go, register and then vote where you live, right?
Vote where you're going to be.
I had somebody just reach out to me today.
They said, Tyler, I'm in Wisconsin.
I'm moving to Arizona.
Which state should I vote in?
I said, it doesn't really matter because as long as... We need you in both.
Either one is like the two most poor states in the country, probably.
But if you do get here, and he said, moving here in August, me and my fiancee are moving.
How do I do it?
I said, just get registered right away.
You'll be fine.
And you can vote here in Arizona.
But if you don't, then your ballot is going to be in Wisconsin.
Potentially, you need to go back and vote.
So then, let's say you're going to a big barbecue this weekend.
Yep.
I mean, Chicago, it's a big deal.
Huge.
Phoenix, it's more, I don't know, nighttime?
Hey, we pool cue.
Yeah, we barbecue by the pool.
They're looking at 117.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
So what we do is we grill inside the house, and then we go outside and we go to the pool.
So let's say you're going to a friend's house.
They got 30 or 40 people.
Blake, what should they do?
What should they wear?
You're going to a barbecue.
It's a pro-American celebration.
What does that look like?
What does a pro-american? No, meaning what does how does one work that party for the betterment of the country?
Well, it's like does one do one It helps if you're willing to wear the hat
Right now everybody right now This should be the day to wear the mega hat. Yes, there's
ever a day it is today following that debate That's gonna be a lot of discussion and then like it's it's
gonna come up people will talk about it people Like, you know, you can maybe wait for someone if they have
like the wrong beer brand and people start razzing them for it
You can you can use that as an opportunity always find little
Yeah, like ways in right there will be a chance where it will come up and then you can find you can kind of deduce
If someone is sympathetic if you didn't know already, so you're saying don't bring the wrong beer brand. Yeah
Yeah, and then if it happens, then you can follow up. Are you registered if they are not registered?
Can I help you register and then right now the app comes in handy and you know a lot of people it
It's like they fear awkwardness if you really put them on the spot, you're like no I can help you do it right now
They'll they'll probably probably go for it. Especially if you're if you're kind of like bro. We about it
Yeah, like hey, come on. Like let's get this done It's July fool. Yes, I'm flipping burgers like oh
Okay, I'll fill it in for you.
Now, what are the laws?
Are you allowed to fill it in for them?
Are you allowed to wear partisan stuff?
Totally.
Arizona is really loose.
Most states, there's really not a ton of laws around registering other people.
They've deregulated it in recent years, right?
Well, the left has intentionally done that.
It used to be you had to be an official voter registration person.
Depends on the state.
Right.
So it depends on the state.
Florida is a little more hardcore.
The bluer states historically were a little bit more hardcore.
Now they've opened it up where it's like same day registration.
You don't need anything.
But look, I mean, this is why online that nobody knows who's doing it online.
Right.
So you pull it up and you go to your online voter registration, which most states have.
And if they don't have it yet, they will soon.
You go right online, you register, you just have to have that ID ready, like we said.
They have to be a resident of that state.
Typically, they need a state ID if they don't have a driver's license, however they say it in your state.
You need to have one of the two of those things to be able to identify yourself as an actual resident.
Once you input that, then you're good to go.
And if you're in Arizona or Wisconsin or Georgia and other places, this is a really easy process.
You upload it.
You're good to go.
You're on the turning point system.
Then if you go to tpaction.com slash vote, or you go to our app and you press the button within the application.
How the data, how many potentially sympathetic People are there.
In Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, that are not registered to vote.
That fit our demographic profile.
We're talking hundreds of thousands, Charlie.
We're talking literally maybe millions.
People don't believe that when you say that.
Maybe millions.
In most cases in America, Uh, you know, there are substantial pockets of people who are not registered to vote.
You've seen this personally when you've gone to churches.
You were at churches this weekend.
Totally.
You ask people, who here's not registered to vote?
And we were doing voter reg there.
And we're doing voter reg there.
We have teams that are constantly doing this.
But you go, you ask these groups of people who you would think Yeah, they're a good community, but they go to church, right?
Or they own guns.
They own guns.
They participate.
They have kids that are in, you know, sometimes, you know, really important activities, Boy Scouts, other things, and they're not registered to vote.
And Wisconsin, this is like a huge deal, is that hunters are not registered to vote.
In the South, we have evangelicals and churchgoers who are not registered to vote.
Here in Arizona, we have a lot of transplants who move here from other places and they just don't re-register.
So their voter registration is still in California or somewhere else, but they moved here as a conservative because they wanted to get out of California.
Well, it only makes a difference if you show up and vote because they're chasing the psychos who want to turn Arizona into California.
They're chasing the crazies in Wisconsin who want to turn Wisconsin into Illinois, right?
So that is our biggest, biggest task is we've got to get people registered and willing to turn out to vote.
And you've got to take it upon yourself then to make sure that person does vote.
And that's step two.
But right now is they got to be on the voting rolls.
And Blake, from a conversational standpoint, how should one talk about this current race given the dynamics of the debate?
Oh my gosh.
Well, so I think it's worth remembering.
You got to bring it up.
You have to bring it up.
Yeah.
And I think it helps that a lot of people who probably are not super, who aren't really engaged with voting, they will get a lot of, out of the sort of superficial, like, oh, Biden's a disaster.
He's, he's too old.
He can't play into that by the way.
Reinforce it.
Yeah.
Like get, because people need to hear it from others too.
Yeah, and, like, I think they'll be more susceptible to, like, the ridicule of it, like, pointing out how ridiculous it is that they're doing this.
Yes, how shameful it is.
You can compare it with the, you know, the way they all lied about it for years, like, oh yeah, the press covered this up for three years, basically, that Biden could not do all of these things, and now they're all admitting it, and they've lied about it, and they're just thinking people won't pay attention and won't vote based on this, but you can counteract by registering with me right now, and you don't need to say it that way, but Normal people who don't vote super actively are going to be more open to arguments that are based on just these, like... This is going to be the most potential right-wing July 4th we've ever lived through, where, like, the left is the most ashamed.
Yes.
Lean into that, everybody, as you get your hot dogs, your burgers, and your celebration ready this July 4th.
So, Tyler, let's go through.
In 2020, Donald Trump, despite everything thrown at him, fell 10,000 votes short in Georgia, 10,000 votes short in Arizona, 11,000-ish in Georgia, 10,000 in Arizona, and 22,000 in Wisconsin.
Can we get this audience to register 42,000 new voters this weekend?
Easily.
I mean, think about how many people listen to the show.
Millions.
We literally have millions of people that this show touches every week.
We've had tens of millions.
So even if just 42,000 people registered one voter?
That's it.
You just got to register one person.
And that's that's the big story is do not do not be thinking, Oh, I have to register 10 people or 20 people or my entire neighborhood.
No, you need to register that one person your your kid who is going to be that is 17 turning 18 before the election.
You have a spouse that may have just become disillusioned or just too busy.
You know, there's, there's people, plenty of people with spouses that just work really hard and they're like, ah, I'm just, I'm so over it.
Right.
You have family members, extended family members.
Some of us have senior family members who have moved because they've retired.
And they just have said, you know what, I'm just going to spend all my time on the beach, or I'm just going to spend all my time in the lake, or I'm just going to spend all my time in the country club on the golf course.
And I'm not going to worry about anything else, including voting.
Oh, that's an interesting question.
so many more have to be looked at. And it's just one person in your family is one neighbor,
one friend. That's it. And that force multiplying effect is profound. Huge. So so Blake, now,
do we want to run against Biden? Oh, that's an interesting question. You know,
I feel like we do in the sense that we know we can beat him at this point. And why introduce
uncertainty where if they replace him could blow up in their face and get a big land.
Do you believe we can beat him at this point?
You say we know we can.
I don't, I don't say we're going to win 100%, obviously that's why we're doing all of this.
Yes, but we have a good shot.
We have a very good shot.
We know he is, we know he is weak.
We have evidence he will get weaker.
Uh, the party is all divided.
They're flipping out.
They'll have to, uh, I mean, assuming he's still running us as the time people are hearing this, but, uh, Like, we know we can beat him, we know it's doable, we're up in the polls, we have all the ingredients we need to win, so why introduce uncertainty with a new candidate that the press can spin in a new way and people might go along with it or not?
I think it's good as long as the Democrats are freaking out and fighting with each other, and they're doing that with Biden, so.
Well, and I'll say this on top of it.
The one thing that 2020 proved for the Democrats is that they can work with chaos.
And the chaos that proliferated because of how they leaned so far into COVID made it possible for them to start pulling at strings and doing things that really changed the face of our elections.
And so your point is exactly right.
Giving them more opportunity to promote chaos right ahead of the election gives the Democrats more organizational.
They have the organizational prowess, more more ability to do that again.
And we shouldn't allow that. We shouldn't allow that. And Jack put out some tweets that said,
though, we should allow it. They need to move forward and stick with what the American public
wanted, which was Biden on the ballot. And I think Republicans should support that and try to
prevent chaos as much as possible. You know, it's kind of funny that there's this assumption
that they can't swap out for Kamala because she's brutally unpopular and will be even
less popular than Biden, but like Biden's approval numbers are really, really low.
Substantially below Kamala, substantially below Hillary Clinton at her worst.
People really do not like Brandon at this point.
And by the way, Trump called him Brandon.
Did you guys catch that?
Everyone's calling him Brandon.
I think he was referring to Brandon, who is the... Oh, Brandon Judd.
Judd.
Got it.
But everybody, but it was kind of funny because everyone thought he was referring to him as Brandon, but he was talking about Brandon Judd.
Just call Brandon, as he was saying, or call Brandon Judd.
Yeah.
So I want your take on this.
So watching the debate, I was quarantined off to the side, like watching myself.
We knew Biden did bad, but I don't think he did as bad as some of his other gaffes that we in conservative media cover on a daily basis.
Yeah.
Would you agree with that?
I don't.
It was pretty bad.
I think the mumbling over, you know, beating Medicare.
That's in the top five bad Biden moments.
I think that clip was bad.
For sure.
There's been a few other ones.
There's definitely been the one where, like, when he gets lost, kind of wandering all around the Rose Garden, I think was one of them.
No, but I'm saying most Americans never saw the other.
Like, this is their first exposure.
This is the propagandist network that is the mainstream media.
But this is the great talking point for Fourth of July, right?
It's like, if you thought that was bad, You should realize this is a pattern.
This is a pattern.
And your government has been lying to you and the media has been covering this up repeatedly.
The media line is such a thing to emphasize that they've known this for years and suddenly over the weekend we have Axios comes out, Wall Street Journal comes out.
WAPO comes out and it's all these very detailed stories about how the White House personnel shielded the president from other Democrats and they have these extremely detailed stories on everything they did to hide how bad it was.
And you're just like, all of them knew about this.
Download the Turning Point Action app and become a force multiplier this fireworks show or parade.
Find new voters.
Alright Tyler, have you heard my theory that they might swap Joe with Jill?
Yeah, I think that I didn't respond back in the chat on that, but I was going to say it's not the craziest idea, right?
She's already there.
She has the last name.
I really think that if you took a public poll of that, people would be very upset.
How are they not upset about what's going on right now?
That's what I'm saying.
They like the puppeteering.
I mean, they don't realize the puppeteering, right?
And so they get away with it.
If that came out in public, I almost think that would be worse than Kamala.
There's this great Wall Street Journal piece I have to read from here by Gerard Baker, who's very, very fair.
It's this.
The Democrats gaslit and deceived us for four years, all in the name of democracy.
That collapsed on Thursday.
There is something fitting about the disarray in which the Democrat Party finds itself.
A fearful symmetry in the now fraught relationship between President Biden and panicking friends and colleagues.
Biden succeeded because he made towing the party line his life's work.
Like all politicians whose egos dwarf their talents, he ascended the greasy pole by slavishly following his party wherever it led.
In the 70s and 80s, Democrats were party of post-Vietnam peacenik activists.
So we followed them for that.
And in the 90s, they were tough on crime, so we followed them on that.
After 9-11, the party fell in behind George W. Bush, and of course, Biden was right there too, leaning from the middle, backing the war on terror and the invasion of Iraq.
So that goes on to this.
And finally, but now, 81 years in, things have gone horribly wrong.
Much of his party has no use for him anymore.
They're trying to desperately jettison him, and in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, swap him out for someone more useful to their cause.
Do you think they're going to pull by it?
Ultimately, I mean, we've gone through this.
We talked about this at length on Thought Grime.
I just don't know where they would go unless they have a plan that has been set in motion already for months and months, which it doesn't seem that that's the case.
This is not planned.
There is no plan.
People are still saying, all this chaos is intentional.
You are so wrong.
This is a bad look.
When you don't have a plan in place, it's really hard to herd cats, right?
It's really hard to get everybody on the same page.
And even if it was someone like Michelle Obama, which, you know, it is almost super transparent that this is not her MO.
You know, that's why Obama came right out and was like, Joe's good, right?
Joe's part of the Obama control mechanism.
I just don't see how this ends well at all, trying to swap him out.
Everything points to the direction of leaving him in, even without brain function, is probably going to be the best bet for them.
And then they can blame him, by the way.
And to that point, they can blame him for a long time.
I mean, I hear that.
Blake, are they going to give up the White House that easily?
Not saying that we automatically win, but the odds are not... I mean, they're sub-50% right now.
I still give us 50-50 odds.
It's really crazy to think about that.
We've never, in really our lifetimes, had a presidential election where a Republican is up in the polls in a big way.
But I mean, look, the last time there was a sacrificial lamb was John McCain-Obama.
Yeah.
That was the last time where it was like, it wasn't competitive, get the old guy in line, we're done.
Even then, I think they tried pretty genuinely to win that one.
No, I mean, they're gonna try with Biden to this day.
But how about George McGovern?
In 84, right?
I guess, yeah.
Or Mondale.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I don't know.
The Clinton, yeah, the Clinton, uh, uh, uh, Dole election was pretty, that was pretty ugly.
Yeah.
96?
That was ugly.
96 was ugly.
It was like, that was really that, you know, old guy.
I'm sorry, it's 1972 with McGovern.
Yes.
The 96th election was like, Clinton's pretty popular.
Perot's at it again.
You know, Bob Dole is just like the next man up.
He deserves this.
Like, he has to be the nominee because he's so well-respected and just old bull type stuff.
I think that's the last time.
And this is, and you know what?
There are a lot of comparisons maybe between Trump and Clinton on our side and Bob Dole and Joe Biden.
So at what point, this will be the answer.
I'm Tyler, I'm fascinated on your take here.
At some point, We are going to have a bottom up crisis where the Gallegos, the Jackie Rosens and the Tammy Baldwins, if Biden keeps on descending, they're the ones that are going to either show distance themselves or demand a new candidate.
Can you talk about that?
Yeah, and they're going to have to start demanding a new candidate publicly in Wisconsin and Arizona and, you know, other places.
You know, I, you can already see some of that, you know, circling the wagons happening in Michigan where they're like, holy.
Guacamole like we're not we don't have nearly the same type of support that we did organically and like again 16 revealed this right because they thought organically they could just wipe the floor with Trump and Trump just won't go away.
Well, what I'm saying is that for example, let's take Arizona.
Yeah, if Carrie Lake gets within she's within two points right now.
Oh, yeah in the latest tracking poll if she's like tied her up on Gallego.
All it takes is Trump then to win by more than five for her to have a real shot, right?
Like for her to... Oh, for sure.
For the manipulated shot.
And Arizona is a very... And again, I'm not saying we don't believe in Kerry.
We love Kerry.
No, we love Kerry, but Trump will outperform Kerry.
That is a fact of nature.
They're going to come to Arizona not campaigning on behalf of Joe Biden at this point.
It's going to be trying to just squeeze in Ruben Gallego.
Do Trump-Gallego voters.
Which is just gonna be like, they're just gonna be like, just vote for Rubin, you don't have to worry about anything else, don't care if you vote for Trump.
This is what they do.
This is what they did with Mark Kelly.
No, no, I'm just saying, that is a huge, like, victory for the Trump campaign.
Yeah, but this is the reason why they're nervous, right?
Because it's like we got to win by enough to pull to combat that, which I think we totally can that the work that we're doing here in Arizona.
I mean, I hope we win by one, but I mean, I have no idea.
Yeah, I mean, but we're going to have to do everything we possibly can through the kitchen sink at the left to win.
But this is again, Eric Hovde in Wisconsin.
No, I'm saying all of a sudden these incumbent Senate Democrats were their whole life.
They're going to get sunk by Biden.
You hear what I'm saying here, Blake?
Oh, yeah.
This could get wildly out of control for them.
Because think about this.
If Trump survives July 11th, which is a week from today, July 11th, the sentencing.
Which he will.
The week after that, his numbers are going to skyrocket because it's the RNC.
And I think it's going to be a great production.
You have full monopolization.
You have a really good look for the party.
It's going to be great.
We'll be there in Milwaukee.
We'll be doing our show.
So you're looking at early August, then the Olympics happen and everyone forgets about politics for like two weeks, basically, and Trump will campaign.
So you basically post the last bad thing on the calendar will be sentencing for Trump.
You're looking at a baked cake until the DNC, which is the next opportunity they have to do the comeback kid narrative.
In mid-August.
Is that enough time to bring his numbers back?
Because presidential politics move at a glacial pace.
Spin it the other way.
That's enough time for him to, like, meaningfully decay even more.
No, seriously though, think about that.
That's a good point.
He looks, I mean, he looks substantially worse than he did at the State of the Union.
Six weeks ago.
No, 100%.
No, I mean, so, so is he gonna be, what will he be like health-wise by Chicago?
Horrible.
And what's crazy is they, One more time, and it's like all over.
He basically can't have another really bad moment.
He can't have a major speech.
No, I think that's right.
Even if it's not on a big stage.
And supposedly he's going to get through another debate in September.
So he's going to have to, he's going to have to disappear.
But Charlie, to your point, think about this.
Think about those people start pulling out of the DNC convention.
Oh, I'm so, so Gallego doesn't show up.
Or Jackie Rosen doesn't show up.
Or Tammy Baldwin doesn't show up.
Or Senator Casey doesn't show up.
One of those people is not going to show up.
One of those people is not going to speak at the DNC stage.
This is fascinating stuff, though.
Or Ken Allred doesn't show up.
Well, he's not going to win anyway.
Or Jon Tester doesn't show up.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
For sure.
But one of those people at least is not going to show up.
A lot of them may not show up.
They may go.
I mean, again, this is where a lot of, you know, conspiracy theorists start diving in and start going, something's got to give here.
Like they're going to like shut down the, like, there's going to be some kind of like massive, like uprising or like controlled, like burn of like Chicago.
That's going to shut down the whole convention.
So then people have an excuse not to come.
Like, this is where everybody's talking about this, because to your point, Charlie, is exactly right.
These people aren't going to want to have any proximity to Joe Biden by that point.
I was just looking at this amazing rally he had in Virginia, which is so smart.
He did it in southern, southern Virginia, right near the North Carolina border, and it just like trolled.
It was a very smart move.
Because it was like campaigning in North Carolina, but it's really shoring up.
But then he trolled the left, and Youngkin gave a great speech.
And it's really great, because the left is now pouring money into Virginia.
because of this. That's super smart, right? It was right on the, which I speak is like right on the
border. You know, I had more North Carolina attendees than Virginia attendees. It's like,
it was actually, we could like troll maximally hard, do a rally in like Tahoe and it's really
like Reno. Oh no, that's what I'm saying. No, no. You go to Washoe County, but it's kind of
also California. Yeah. And so it's great. So the, the, when the lower, so let's talk about the house.
Hakeem Jeffries is supposed to for sure take the house.
Yeah.
If that starts to get be put in jeopardy after all the Speaker Johnson McCarthy nonsense.
Mm-hmm.
What what does that look like Tyler Blake?
I mean, how do they navigate this atmospherically?
Well, let's think about the places that the Republicans are most at risk for the House.
Okay.
So the Democrats are expecting to take back seats in New York and California.
Right.
Right.
So they're expecting that they had a rewrite of districts in Georgia, which doesn't change much.
Uh, they, there's a couple that can be picked off in other places that they were hoping for, like Lauren Boebert seat in Colorado, uh, like one in Arizona, one or two in Arizona, they're hyper targeting.
Uh, but I mean, look outside of that, there's not a ton of places where for them to pick up seats.
So the question is, you look at these deeper blue areas where the left isn't investing as much California, New York, for example, and you basically have a repeat of 2022 because of the Joe Biden narrative.
Yeah, I mean, you're putting them at potential risk of not having the house, and even worse, a house that's controlled either by the Freedom Caucus again, or by our good friend AOC.
So the latest poll from Pennsylvania, Signal, C-Y-G-N-A-L.
Are they a right-leaning firm?
I think they're pretty fair, right?
They're towards the middle, but I think they're center-left.
Has Trump up four in Pennsylvania post-debate?
Yeah.
Outside of the margin of error in this poll?
Yeah.
And both with multiple candidates, to your point, actually multiple candidates does not help or hurt Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
So there's actually, when multiple candidates are there, some of them break down and into other constellations.
I still think more candidates help because turnout, you're not going to see that reflected with higher turnout.
Do you agree?
And more candidates is really important, too.
And not just this race, but all the races.
It's harder to chase.
Harder to chase.
So the Democrats can't chase when there's multiple candidates.
When it's binary, it's like, OK, just get them in this bucket or that bucket.
But all of a sudden, you start knocking on doors of 28-year-old women.
And they're like, well, I think I like that RFK guy.
They're like, no!
Yeah.
This actually, all these bad polls almost make it, it's almost like more likely they'll just have to stick with
Biden.
Why?
Because, well, if they blow up, right now they can just say Biden is weak because he's old, but like the party's
otherwise united.
If you throw out Biden and try to like replace Kamala, now there's a party civil war.
Uh, obviously we had Joshua who said, uh, how do you and your team celebrate the 4th of July?
Sometimes it feels like Americans get too frivolous with the festivities.
It feels like we forget the 4th of July should make us want to work harder, not just have fun.
What do you guys think?
Did I write that question?
I guess, yeah, maybe.
I spend time in the sun, go for a long walk, then once it gets to be like 115, I go inside and then I have ice cream.
One thing of ice cream, I only have dessert twice a year.
That is one of the days.
All we're gonna say is the Founding Fathers were not grilling on the original 4th of July.
They were putting in work.
But eventually, John Adams had this beautiful essay.
You know this.
He said that the 4th of July will be celebrated with cannons being fired and fireworks and huge celebrations.
So they give you a green light to celebrate.
Well, it is a day that I support people to go a little bit crazy.
I eat as much ice cream as you do in a year in about a 24 hour period with my kids.
So I don't share that.
But I do celebrate salting a really great room temperature steak.
Oh, it's the best.
And you just salt it all day long.
Just salt and pepper.
That's it.
Let it sit out.
Grill it to perfection.
Get it right at that, you know, what we call rare plus, you know, right there.
It bleeds a little bit.
And then you go register a voter.
I will be around a lot of voters and I'm wearing the MAGA hat all day long.
All day long.
Here's another one you might like.
Jorge, are there any facts about the 4th of July or the history of America's founding you wish more people knew?
It actually wasn't on July 4th.
You know that one.
July 2nd is actually the true founding.
We just waited for that signature.
That's right.
And so July 4th was when all the signatures were complete.
Thomas Jefferson's age when he wrote it was super young.
He was like 26 or 27.
Most of them are very young.
They're super young.
There's only one Catholic.
Do you know who it was?
It was the one from Maryland.
I'm gonna stump him again.
Charles Carroll!
You should know that!
Blake, you gotta sharpen up.
The point is this.
We know you know a lot.
He wasn't a very good Catholic, if I recall.
Do I know anything that Blake doesn't know?
That's fair.
That's fair.
Well, good Catholics would have stayed in Europe.
Yeah, probably.
But he was from Maryland, you're right.
I'm just using our Catholic friends.
Or how about 50 years after July 4th?
That's the creepiest of all the things.
Both Adams and Jefferson both died on the same day, 50 years to the day after the signing of the Declaration.
That is crazy.
That's... I think that's... 1826.
That's God stuff.
July 4th, 1826.
What else you got?
stuff. July 4th 1826. Yeah. Alright, what else you got? Oh, let's see. Uh, with all the negative
news, what are some things you still love about America?
Obviously, there's a lot of serious ones, but is there a fun thing you still really love about America?
I still love that I have not found this anywhere else in the world, that there's a subset of crazy entrepreneurs in this country.
I think that's really cool.
I think that there's a small group of ballsy risk-takers that are willing to... It really is.
Threads on the internet where they ask foreigners, what do you notice about America?
One of the things they talk about is America has this insane go-getter energy where they're like, yeah, let's go do that thing.
And I mean, and that's what we're doing.
Like go out, register voters.
Don't just complain.
Like it's not in the, in the France.
They're like, I don't understand.
I, me work.
Like I just, I do what I'm told.
Like it's such a foreign concept.
Yeah.
I've not found that replicated anywhere around the world.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I just haven't.
It's amazing.
Uh, what else do I love about America?
I mean, I love football.
I like free refills.
No one else does that.
That's true.
And ice and drinks.
They don't do that?
Free refills?
You don't get free refills?
No!
You don't even get like... You don't get free refills and if you get water, it's like a little tiny thing and there's no ice in it.
Are you serious?
Yeah, total atrocity.
Ice and air conditioning is like...
An unbelievable, you know, first world.
Air conditioning?
They do not have air conditioning in Europe.
And when I first experienced this, I stayed at a five-star hotel once in London.
They have no air conditioning.
No AC.
They have like a little mini fan.
It's unbelievable.
Europe is poor.
No, no, no.
They're environmental.
That's a separate issue.
Charlie, you have to understand.
It's way more fun to call Europeans poor because they are.
They're not that poor.
They are, though.
The combined GDP of all of Europe is the same as America.
Yeah, but if you go, like, the UK's like, oh, we're such a rich country, and then their, like, GDP per capita is lower than the poorest US state.
Is that right?
Yeah, Europe sucks.
Germany is not a poor country.
It's not, but it's fun to say they are.
Okay, Germany's, like, legitimately rich.
And they don't have air conditioning.
They don't have Taco Bell.
That plays right into the entrepreneurship.
They can have it.
The entrepreneurialism.
I think it's incredible like all of the ideas that come out of America that without those ideas the world would be like a shabby place.
We used to have this and Trump's trying to bring it back.
I like that we hate to lose.
Yeah, I love the confidence that America has.
I will never cheer for us in soccer.
America has confidence.
Losing is more important because it keeps soccer unpopular.
We must never allow soccer to become great in America.
Well, good news.
The American team lost to Panama like last week.
Thank the Lord.
The great Panamanians.
They invade our country and beat us in soccer.
I'll cheer for anything else.
Today, when you are at a grill, a barbecue, or whatever, register voters.
