Let's take a step back.
Remember how bizarre and unusual it was for Joe Biden to want to have a summer debate?
We predicted this correctly.
We said they are doing a summer debate for one of two reasons.
If Joe Biden does very well, then they have a tight race against Donald Trump and they are all systems go.
However, Pelosi and Obama knew that Joe Biden was not healthy.
They needed to force a environment where Joe Biden was exposed, where Joe Biden was not able to defend himself.
They needed to put him in an environment so they could pull Joe Biden and get the consensus.
It was a hit.
It was a coordinated hit.
You see, Joe Biden went to Atlanta for the CNN debate, not knowing that Pelosi and Obama set him up.
Joe Biden walked right into the trap.
Joe Biden walked right into that debate, not knowing that the soft coup was underway.
Now, the tell was even more dramatic than that.
That evening, we streamed for a couple hours.
And we said, there's something very bizarre happening here.
CNN, the moment that the debate ended, they were talking about pulling Joe Biden.
The media started one of its relentless Barrage campaigns that withstood every form of news cycle from the RNC to Donald Trump getting shot.
No matter what happened in the news cycle, they were able to get it back.
They were able to bring it back to the front page.
They were able to bring it back to the center.
Front page of the New York Times.
Biden bows out.
It has officially happened this weekend, and it is Project Coconut Tree.
But remember on the debate night, remember, it was Kamala Harris who was not with her president.
It was Kamala Harris who was piping in remotely.
It was Kamala Harris that had the very strange visual and aesthetic of her looking As if she was the President of the United States.
Let's play Cut49.
Listen, first of all, what we saw tonight is the President making a very clear contrast with Donald Trump on all the issues that matter to the American people.
Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish.
And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on behalf of the American people on substance, on policy, on performance.
Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong and that cannot be debated.
But I'm sorry, on substance and policy and performance tonight, I mean, the president's performance tonight
clearly was disappointing for his supporters.
You see that aesthetic there?
Whoever was doing the framing for Kamala Harris, probably some Obama operative, they made her look presidential with the flag in the back, the perfect lighting.
She came in remotely and she did the thing.
Oh, yeah, you know, we stand by Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is fine.
I believe Kamala Harris was in on this.
This was a plan from the beginning.
Throw Joe to the wolves, throw him out for past year, put him in a summer debate.
We don't do summer debates in this country.
We've never had one in the modern era before.
To have a summertime debate?
But Obama and Pelosi knew that Joe Biden was not equipped to defeat Donald Trump.
That Joe Biden was going to lose in a significant form or fashion.
So what you are living through right now is the insurance plan.
The backup plan.
Otherwise known as Project Coconut Tree.
Kamala Harris famously had that ridiculous clip.
Oh, what do you think?
You fell out of a coconut tree?
She says, you live in the context of which you are and we're unburdened by what has once been absolute word salad and complete nonsense.
And it has been and is a conspiracy.
And Joe Biden fell for it.
Joe Biden fell for the Pelosi-Schumer summer debate trap.
And understand what happened this last weekend.
That a group of unpopular political leaders and very rich people, they displaced a sitting president of the United States and someone who primary voters voted for, all in the name of democracy.
You know, my favorite part of democracy, which we are a republic, but that's a separate issue.
My favorite part of democracy is where a small group of people decide to overturn the will of the voters.
It was one of two options.
Biden does well at that debate, and he just glides to another election between Trump and Biden.
But they knew that they were setting him up for what they wanted.
Joe Biden likely suffers from sundowner syndrome.
His staff knows he's only good between 10 and 3.
And they kept on scheduling stuff with him later and later and later.
And that was a 9 p.m.
Eastern debate.
Joe Biden versus Trump.
And they threw him into it.
Somebody on his team was doing the work of Obama, Pelosi, and Kamala.
Somebody on the team knew that if they were able to get a summer debate, they might be able to pull him.
And what ensued was a longer-than-expected white-knuckling campaign by Joe Biden.
However, Pelosi, being the skilled Machiavellian operative that she is, executed a flawless multi-week campaign against Joe Biden.
First, it was lower-level congressmen leaking.
Then it was Mid-level senators leaking.
Then it was George Clooney.
And then finally, Adam Schiff.
Chuck Schumer.
As the big guns came out.
And all of the pieces fell into place.
And so now the Democrats are looking for a new candidate.
The Democrat Mafia seems to have assembled behind Kamala Harris.
One of the most unlikable, nasty, radical individuals in American politics.
Just so we are clear, what we are living through is 100% a conspiracy in the truest sense of the word.
You have just seen in broad daylight a conspiracy to remove and overturn the will of Democrat voters.
Democrat voters wanted Joe Biden to be their nominee.
Democrat voters went and voted for Joe Biden to be their nominee.
Why do they even have a primary?
Because they don't even believe in elections.
The side that lectures us relentlessly about democracy has never actually believed in democracy.
It is about oligarchy and the soft coup was live-streamed.
The literal definition of a conspiracy Also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme is a secret plan or agreement between people for harmful purposes such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from others.
Obama and Pelosi set this entire deal up and Biden fell for it.
Jill Biden fell for it.
Hunter Biden fell for it.
Ron Klain fell for it.
While they were all publicly signaling their support, they were stabbing him in the back, and they were overturning the will of Democrat primary voters.
And it's that old expression, be careful what you wish for.
Yes, that they just told 14 million Democrat primary voters, we hate you, we don't care about you, we want to protect our oligarchy, and we're going to hijack the process.
But more fundamental than that, and more importantly, They are now stuck with Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris, who wanted to make critical race theory the education curriculum of the country.
Kamala Harris, who is the border czar.
Kamala Harris, who went to the Munich Security Conference.
Kamala Harris, who is low IQ, unlikable.
And just as a, just, I want to just say this once.
Where the heck is Joe Biden?
Can we get a proof of life of Joe Biden?
His signature doesn't match on the letter that he published.
Joe Biden didn't do a video.
He put this on Twitter.
This whole thing is extremely bizarre.
It wasn't an official letterhead.
He hasn't yet done a public statement or a public event.
He hasn't even called into a radio show or a television show.
Where is Joe Biden?
Well, you have just watched the live streaming of a multi-week soft coup, the likes of which we have not seen in modern American history.
And this story is just getting warmed up.
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
Can't pay the IRS?
Haven't filed in a while?
Receiving threatening letters?
Yeah, it's about to get even worse.
The IRS is hiring an army of agents targeting hard-working Americans just like you.
You need warriors on your side.
You need Tax Network USA.
Tax Network USA has a brilliant strategy to solve your IRS problem quickly in your favor.
For instance, they discovered a limited-time special offer that the IRS is willing to waive $1 billion in penalties.
Find out if you qualify before it's too late.
Never call the IRS alone.
Let Tax Network USA attorneys handle it.
They have preferred direct lines to the IRS.

They seem to have found their candidate.
The great houses of the Democrat Party, the Mafia, seem to be consolidating behind Kamala.
They seem to be coming all together.
Obama has yet to endorse, Jeffries has yet to endorse Schumer, Pelosi, but the other big guns have.
Allegedly, she raised $50 million.
via ActBlue.
James O'Keefe has done some great investigation into ActBlue.
I find it very, very hard to believe that she raised $50 million.
That's just a lot of money through small-dollar donations, but okay, it is what it is.
There's been some very suspicious evidence for quite some time on how ActBlue raises money and generates funds, which deserves and warrants a serious investigation.
However, if you are a Democrat, they, you know, they're celebrating on Twitter and they're celebrating in their circles.
This is amazing!
Is this an upgrade?
You traded one problem for another.
You traded senility, or someone who is senile, for someone who is radical.
You traded somebody who you feel bad for to someone who is deeply unlikable.
Kamala Harris is two of the worst things that you could be in politics.
She is unlikable and she is radical.
And also she's really stupid.
She's not a smart person.
She's very, very low IQ.
Joe Biden chose her not because she was some wonderful politician.
Joe Biden did not choose her based on merit.
He chose her based on the same criteria of DEI that got Trump shot.
That has been destroying this country.
The very same DEI ideology that has been sweeping the nation is now the standard-bearer of the Democrat Party and I think that is perfect.
I think it is perfect now that the very same ideology that we have been fighting against is now embodied in the standard-bearer of the Democrat Party.
You could not have a better example of the worst aspects Of the country or the Democrat Party.
But now that's where she is.
She is a DEI candidate.
Joe Biden even acknowledged it.
Joe Biden said that I chose Kamala Harris not because she was brilliant, not because she was smart, not because she was qualified.
I chose her because I wanted a black female as my vice president.
Now some Democrats think this is going to be a big upgrade.
But remember, this is an electoral college issue.
And I will say this, Joe Biden is actually a better candidate, even with him being senile, in Pennsylvania than Kamala Harris is in Pennsylvania.
That's not to say that we're going to win, but for Democrats who think that Kamala Harris is this major upgrade, Joe is a likable old guy.
And something that has been very difficult, it's hard to get people to really hate Joe Biden.
Not impossible, it's been happening, but instead people are disappointed, people take it easy on Joe Biden.
It's because no decent person wants to engage in elder abuse.
You feel sorry for him.
Kamala Harris is very easy to despise.
Not only does she believe in the most radical ideas, she has played around with abolishing the Electoral College, she wanted to get rid of the filibuster for the Green New Scam, a $100 trillion deal, she said we're going to ban all fracking.
By the way, her 2019 presidential race is a goldmine of opposition research.
Say what you will about Joe Biden, when Joe Biden ran for the presidency back in 2019-2020, he was far more disciplined.
Remember, Kamala Harris started her presidential campaign in Oakland with 20,000 people and tons of money, and she went down and finished 6 out of 6 before primary voting even began.
She was not even able to win over the trust of her own Democrat primary voters.
In some ways, Kamala Harris is the accidental Democrat nominee.
Very similar to Gerald Ford in 1976.
Very similar.
Gerald Ford was the unelected president.
Started as Speaker of the House.
They got rid of Spear Agnew.
He became VP.
They got rid of Nixon.
He became president.
And then they ran Ford Rockefeller.
He never actually was elected president.
Kamala Harris technically was elected vice president via being VP with Joe Biden, but she was not elected the nominee.
She cannot even win over the primary voters in the Democrat Party.
And so they traded senility for unlikability.
They traded incompetence for radicalism.
So what would you rather have?
Would you rather run a candidate who's incompetent and can't put two sentences together, or someone who is deeply scary and radical?
Is Kamala really an upgrade for Democrats?
I'm excited to run against somebody who wants to ban fossil fuels, get rid of fracking, put in critical race theory, and was the border czar of the greatest invasion in American history.
Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

I'm watching on Real America's Voice here.
J.D.
Vance, the VP selection.
By the way, we have not done... We had last week, obviously, Milwaukee.
I haven't had a chance to really enjoy the fact that J.D.
is the VP nominee.
Just awesome.
Amazing to see across the board.
So let's go deeper into the Kamala Harris situation.
So Kamala Harris is a very unlikable person.
She was not able to win Democrat primary voters.
In fact, the more that people hear from Kamala Harris, the less likely they are to support her.
Let's just play this piece of tape here and then I want to get John Solomon of just kind of a nice reminder of who you're dealing with and just the most important thing.
She was the czar of the border crisis.
She was in charge.
She oversaw the greatest invasion of our homeland in American history.
Play cut 42.
This election in November is going to be about literally our health and whether we live or die.
Thank you guys.
And my pronouns are she, her, and hers.
She, her, and hers.
Mine too.
So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.
What else do we know about this population, 18 through 24?
They are stupid.
They make really bad decisions.
Do you believe that Americans should have the right to vote at age 16?
I'm really interested in having that conversation.
Convicted.
In prison.
Like the Boston Marathon bomber.
On death row.
People who are convicted of sexual assault.
They should be able to vote?
I think we should have that conversation.
She thinks we should do away with the Electoral College.
Do you agree with that?
I think that it's, I'm open to the discussion.
I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal.
But would you support changing the dietary guidelines?
Yes!
You know, the food pyramid.
Yes, yes.
To reduce red meat specifically.
Yes, I would.
So would you ban offshore drilling?
Yes.
Do you ban plastic straws?
I think we should.
Assault weapons that are already in circulation.
What do you do about those?
We have to have a buyback program and I support a mandatory buyback program.
Joining us now is John Solomon.
John, the news is happening so fast that it requires people like yourself to slow down and to analyze it.
What should we think of what's occurred these last 24 hours?
Well, there was a coup.
Essentially, the Democratic Party got rid of their duly elected nominee because he had clearly gotten 14.5 million votes.
And they decided, well, we needed a backroom deal because he can't win, so they removed him.
And we're back to the days of Tammany Hall, as we talked about yesterday.
But now, I think what's going on is the courtship of Kamala Harris with the American people.
People are starting to realize, what does she stand for?
What has she done when she's run things in the past?
And of course, the border is a really great example.
This morning, we heard from two border chiefs.
The two border chiefs, since Joe Biden has been president, saying, I never heard from the border czar.
Kamala Harris never even bothered to call the two guys in charge of the border.
Not much of a czar if you're not talking to the people that have the operational control and the operational intelligence.
Tonight, we will drop a story that's been carefully worked on for about a couple of months.
We'll be able to see how Kamala Harris ran her prosecutorial offices.
When you see her management style, the sort of scandals that she allowed to happen on her watch and tried to excuse away, I think people realize she hasn't been very good at running things in the past, and that will raise further questions.
Should she be allowed to run the country or even run for the position of running the country?
I think people are going to learn a lot about him.
I said yesterday, the more people get to know about Kamala Harris, the less they're going to like her.
I think that process is beginning right now.
Yeah, it's beginning.
And remember, her closest race was running for attorney general in 2010, where she barely won, under half of a percent.
Meanwhile, Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown at the time won by 10 to 15 points.
That was in deep blue California for the statewide attorney's general race.
Now, she is collecting endorsements from J.B.
Pritzker, from Gretchen Whitmer, from Wes Moore, from Andy Beshear, but Kamala Harris, she has never cut her teeth in tough races where she has proven that she can win over the constituencies necessary.
She is a California radical liberal Marxist That is now being thrust into a presidential race where she has to compete in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Wisconsin.
What type of race do you think she'll run?
I believe she's going to run far left with identity politics because she knows she's not going to be able to win over white working class male voters.
John Solomon.
Yeah, listen, I think she's going to have to play to her base to keep them in position.
So watch where she pivots on Israel-Palestine.
Watch where she pivots on all of the main issues involving parents' rights, where she's not been particularly strong even up to this date.
I think she'll double down on the state having more and more say over children.
And she'll try to hold her base together in hopes that that will give her a coalition.
But she has some really significant problems.
We do have some Real evidence of what it looked like when she ran for national office.
She got like 1% of the vote in the Democratic primary against a 77, 78-year-old presidential candidate who wasn't exactly vim and vigor.
And so I think, you know, her ability to appeal to national audiences actually failed the one time she tried.
And she's had some difficult races in California.
I think the key is getting people to understand what she has said, And what sort of management style she had, particularly as a prosecutor.
I think there's a lot of liability in the records that we've gathered from her time as Attorney General of California and as District Attorney in San Francisco.
A lot of things are going to come to light in the next couple days.
Yeah, and Joe Biden was able to present himself as a fake moderate to some folks.
Kamala Harris comes across as a very, very far-left liberal in many different ways.
So, John, let's talk about this.
Who actually executed the coup?
It seems as if it was Pelosi and Obama, and it goes all the way back to Joe Biden accepting the summertime debate offer.
As soon as Joe Biden did that, he entered the crossfire of what was... That was a poison pill.
That was a poison pill.
Who set that up?
In my opinion, Kamala Harris did not travel with Joe Biden.
She was set up with a remote interview looking awfully presidential with the aesthetic and the flag behind her.
Who did this?
Who poison-pilled Joe Biden's candidacy?
It may have been his own campaign, which at that point had some serious doubts.
I mean, since the Robert Hurt interview last October, his own people realized how easily he was confused and how he might look to audiences who weren't used to seeing him behind scenes this confused.
And so I think Some of the debate concept was his own team road testing the CARB so that they would have the ability to either course correct or pull out, which is obviously what they did.
The coup after the disastrous debate was clearly Barack Obama and Kamala Harris to some degree.
Kamala Harris would say publicly all the right things like she was in Joe Biden's corner,
but she clearly was positioning herself to inherit the job and to push him aside.
But I do think that Barack Obama was really the tipping point.
When he came out and wrote his op-ed, that's when everything came tumbling down on Joe Biden.
He had nowhere else to run.
And I think Obama's had serious reservations about Biden for about a year.
I think people who know what's going on in the White House, and Barack Obama has a lot of his people
still planted in the White House, knew that Joe Biden was slipping and slipping in a big way.
They kept it quiet from the public, but they knew themselves that they were going
to have a difficult summer.
And they orchestrated a pretty significant coup.
Who do you believe she is going to select as vice president?
Well, you know, I think a lot of the media are thinking, well, maybe we should go with a moderator, go with a Josh Shapiro or someone like that.
I think your instinct is right, Charlie.
But what I'm hearing from my reporting is that she's going to embrace the left even more vigorously than Joe Biden did and be comfortable with them and not try to moderate or try to pretend that she's a moderate.
Her record won't sustain pretending she's a moderate.
So she's going to double down and see what sort of coalition She can put together and see how much she can steal from Robert F. Kennedy, people who were defecting to Kennedy.
But I think the problem is she loses so many of those independent voters who are simply not going to be pleased to hear the things that she stands for.
I agree.
I think it's an opportunity, actually, for Donald Trump to win back baby boomer voters and to win back suburban voters where, you know, suburban and baby boomer voters tended to tilt towards Joe Biden.
The appearance they had on TV was Joe Biden was very stable and very presidential, quote unquote.
But in reality, we know that he was a radical.
But, John, despite all of our attempts We were not able to effectively penetrate the independent consensus that Joe Biden was a radical.
He was, but we weren't able to persuade people of that.
We were able to say that he was incompetent and that he was senile.
Kamala Harris, people already believe that she's a radical.
Final thoughts, John Solomon.
Well listen, immigration and inflation are still going to be the two issues, and Kamala Harris owns all of that.
In fact, she may even double down on the very policies that have led to both of those crises that have angered America.
That is a really strong card for Donald Trump to keep playing.
There's no way for Kamala Harris to escape the Joe Biden record.
It may be why Barack Obama hasn't endorsed yet.
There's an oddity that Barack Obama foisted Kamala Harris on Joe Biden, but as of today hasn't yet gotten behind her candidacy.
He may be panicked that she can't carry this honor.
She owns too much of the Biden legacy.
That is a dynamic to watch very closely in the next 72 hours.
John, excellent work as always.
Thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
Great to be with you, Charlie.
Thank you.

This just goes to show the lemmings that are the American Democrat party.
We wouldn't put up with this as conservatives.
Our MAGA base would not put up with this.
Let me, let me, let me, let me actually prove it to you.
They say, oh, we're pulling Joe Biden because he's down in the polls.
In the summer of 2020, Donald Trump was down 16 points to Joe Biden in the state of Wisconsin.
16 points.
Down 16 points in the state of Wisconsin.
There were some people that were saying, we gotta pull Trump, we gotta pull Trump.
But Trump is not like the Democrat Party.
The base of the Democrat Party, they are lemmings, they are sheep.
They're on their seventh booster shot.
Because the first six worked so well.
These are people that wear masks when they drove in cars alone.
These are people that are not independent thinkers.
And many of them are suffering from deep mental illnesses.
A lot of people on the radical left is.
And that's been well documented.
And they're just going to say, oh yeah, in the name of democracy, let's not have a primary anymore.
And the leaders of the Democrat Party know that they can play their base like a fiddle.
That they know that they can play it easily.
And they just removed a sitting President of the United States and winner of a primary.
And the media is already framing him as a hero to the country.
This has been a tortured decision for Joe Biden.
Play cut nine.
This has been a tortured decision, I'm told, for President Biden, something he arrived at after a long and winding series of conversations, where until the very end, the 11th hour here, he was insisting to many in his family and his inner circle that he wanted to stay in.
He firmly believes, even now, that former President Trump is a threat to American democracy.
He believed until the 11th hour that he beat Trump once, he could beat Trump again.
But he knew also that as a longtime political operator, someone who has more of a political antenna than almost anyone I've ever covered, that he was losing support fast from Democrats.
He lost Democrats who have long supported him.
And he wanted to go into the convention with strength.
And if that became no longer possible, And he was facing a crossroads where the party might not be with him at that convention in Chicago.
And there hadn't been whispers yet of someone mounting a challenge against Biden for the nomination at the convention.
But there was certainly talk that if Biden didn't step away in the coming weeks, someone might have to start to run against him.
They pulled a sitting president of the United States.
The great houses and the mafia of the Democrat Party, they are in harmony that Kamala Harris is next.
And understand this, if you think that Joe Biden's presidency was destructive to this country, she's more radical, she has more energy, she has more passion than Joe Biden.
She believes in the fundamental destruction of the United States of America.
The coalition that Kamala Harris is going to try to create is with black voters, women voters, and younger voters.
Interestingly, the Republican coalition is actually going to take back its form.
Suburban voters and boomers with more and more gains in Hispanic neighborhoods, in black neighborhoods.
Kamala Harris.
They say, oh, she's, uh, they've never won an election.
This is Molly Jong Fast, play cut 36.
What hurt her in the primary was that she was very centrist for a lot of the Democratic base.
Right.
But that actually helps her in the general.
Like, here she is.
She is a sex crimes prosecutor.
That was what she, you know, ran on when she became the DA in San Francisco.
So, it is really interesting.
And remember, she won a primary challenge.
Her first race in San Francisco was a primary challenge against another Democrat who she had worked for.
So to say she's never won a hard election is actually not true.
Oh yeah, her political experience is winning a local election in San Francisco about who is the most liberal.
Kamala Harris and the Democrats right now, they are being crushed by the weight of their own lies and deceit.
Democrats are now suffocating from years of hubris and corruption.
Kamala Harris looks as if she is likely to become the nominee.
Likely to become the torchbearer.
She is the DEI candidate.
She's a California, cackling, communist, liberal.
She did not earn her way to become vice president.
And she is not ready for the big leagues.
Trump v. Harris.
The future of the country hangs in the balance.
Thanks so much for listening.
