Tyler Boyer is with us.
He is the General Patton of Turning Point Action.
I just hope it ends better for you than it did for General Patton.
So, he is marshalling the ground forces, the Supreme Allied Commander.
So, I wanted to say this, that Steve Bannon from federal prison, last evening, sent out a message saying, the posse must focus on two things.
Voter turnout and election workers becoming election workers.
Tyler, we have this robust turning point action ballot chasing army that we have built.
What did we learn in our test case in the Arizona primary and explain it to the audience as if they are like in the nicest way a fifth grader and they don't understand So we put out a tweet, so you retweeted one of our team members, Hannah Toth, who is also a city councilwoman in Fountain Hills, Arizona.
So this is not somebody that's just like, just like, you know, random, low-level.
She's literally an elected official in the state, works for us full-time, data analyst that we have on the team with with Ben Larrabee that's in our office, who's worked for us for years, actually ran the professor watch list, which is a wonderful thing.
And so this we actually went through I wanted to take us through this this tweet that has some really specific data in it.
And I like it because it gives some real clear picture as as a comparison between 2024 2020.
So I want to start by saying this is that numbers from turnout for the primary were down overall from 2020.
From 2020.
So 2024's primary in Arizona, that was held just a few weeks ago.
Numbers were down.
However, where we have ballot chasers on the ground, full-time people, so our team that's on the ground, we saw significant increases in the places where we had the full-time bodies.
So I'm going to take you through a couple different places here.
Most of these are suburban areas of the Phoenix metro area.
So our number one turnout increase was in Surprise, where we saw a 27%.
West Valley of Phoenix.
West Valley of Phoenix.
So this is a statistical increase in Republican turnout was 27%.
Fountain Hills, where Hannah's from.
East of Scottsdale.
East of Scottsdale.
Sheriff Joe Land, that's where he's from.
That's some of the most conservative country out there.
Some of the most conservative country.
Superchase Precinct.
By the way, beautiful.
One of the most underrated parts of Phoenix.
Yeah, you got Four Peaks right in the background there.
And they literally have a major fountain.
They have a massive fountain.
I go to Fountain Hills all the time.
It's super underrated.
Yeah, it's incredible.
It's an incredible place.
Big retirement community that's turning a little bit more suburban.
A lot more families are moving out there.
23% increase for Republican turnout.
Peoria... Is that one precinct, though?
That one precinct.
So that's 800 voters-ish, right?
Yeah, I mean, there's usually, the average precinct has a couple thousand voters on one side, and so a 23% increase is substantial.
We're talking hundreds of voters that should have been the primary.
Peoria, same thing, 20% increase.
Queen Creek, which is the southeast valley, so we've now hit all four corners of the valley, all had A precinct with almost 20% or more increased turnout.
So the reason why this is good, Charlie, is because this is a primary.
So in Arizona, we didn't have a ton of competitor primaries.
And so having a significant increase with a ballot-chasing team on the ground is really, I think, indicative.
And the data that we have also of who we touched tells us that we are doing good.
Now, this is a real kicker of a stat.
Out of all the, we call them super chase precincts, all the places that we have to win in Maricopa County, 87% of this Chase the Vote staff precincts, our super chase precincts, exceeded Ruben Gallego's vote total.
So Ruben Gallego is running for Senate against now Carrie Lake, but it was Carrie, Mark Lamb, and Ruben Gallego in this race.
87% of those, almost 90% of the entire, of all these important precincts, Republicans won.
This is the kicker.
In 54% of those precincts, Cary Lake still beat Ruben Gallego.
And that's even with Mark Lamb being on the ticket.
So even with a spoiler on the ticket, and I'm not calling Mark a spoiler, but saying there's a second candidate splitting the vote, 54% of them still went Carrie Lake in the primary.
That's a huge, huge positive.
White pill, up and up, like big change.
Meanwhile, the Democrats significantly dropped their turnout for the primary.
So explain to me though, in every one of these precincts, we have a full-time person assigned to that.
What does that person do?
So that person is out right now.
So we have Literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of full-time representatives who are out right now.
In Arizona.
Largest force ever been seen.
Yes, in Arizona.
We also have Wisconsin and Nevada and Michigan.
But in Arizona, we have the largest force that we've ever put out.
This is... In the history of the movement.
In the history of the movement.
No, we're going all out in Arizona.
I mean, we're talking 20 times the amount of people out on the ground than any previous presidential campaign.
These individuals are assigned to their very specific neighborhood.
So they're not allowed to leave their neighborhood.
And their whole job is to talk to their neighbors, some of whom they already know, just to make sure they turn out votes.
So a good example of this is one of our guys was like, hey, you know, I just realized my father-in-law didn't vote for the last 12 years.
Got his vote out, right?
There's people on my street that I already know.
Had no idea that he didn't vote.
But it's easy for me to go approach them.
So that's what they're doing.
That's part of the success formula that we've been able to create.
That we've seen this turn out.
So when we talk about ballot chasing, this is ballot chasing in practice?
Yep.
This is actual ballot chasing that's in practice.
We now have a legitimate test case in this first primary.
This is the first year that Turning Point Action has ever put full-time bodies on the ground.
Uh, you know, we were told by a lot of different people in previous elections that they had it covered, had it covered, had it covered.
Uh, we weren't satisfied with the coverage.
Um, and so we said, you know, we shouldn't be the only ones doing it, but we're going to do it, right?
So Charlie's, you know, spending all his extra free time that he doesn't have.
Raising money and talking to donors on the phone.
Raising money.
I'm doing the same thing.
And, you know, that's in between media and, you know, managing this.
I've been doing back-to-back trainings.
And the C3.
We have to keep running.
Yeah, and I'm doing trainings every week on this.
We've now put hundreds and hundreds of people out.
But, you know, refocus back on Arizona.
You know, you have almost a 250,000 voter lead over the Democrats.
You just have a turnout problem at this point, right?
A turnout equation, which is we have to go out and turn out more people.
One last statistic that's really promising.
So out of all the people we talked to, And you're hearing this first because we haven't released this.
The people that we talked to at least two times in the neighborhoods, we had almost 40,000 of those people vote for the first time.
These are people who don't... Is this in the primary?
Yes.
So 40,000 first-time voters?
So 40,000 people who don't always vote.
What percentage of those would you say voted against Stephen Richard?
We know for a fact now with the stats and with the feedback that we've received that it's it's that's the reason why Stephen Richard lost.
That's what I'm getting at is that now we're able to say okay if it wasn't for our ballot chasing operation Stephen Richard would still be in.
So you said 40,000 disengaged people you were able to get in the primary?
So 40,000 people we know, so the number's even bigger than that.
So the impact that came from this, I'm not ready to say online, because I have to fact check and double check.
Yeah, you gotta triple check.
It's large, but 40,000 people, we had multiple conversations.
And some of those people didn't vote in 20?
Oh, they didn't vote in 20, they didn't vote in 16, but in general.
So we fell 10,000 votes short in the general in 2020, and you have, let's just say, a universe of 40,000-ish people that are now going to be introduced into the system Yeah, very clearly, 40,000 people who did not vote in 16 and or 20 voted in our primary.
voted in our primary. Which means they're almost like a 95% chance they're gonna vote.
But with chasing almost 100% chance. It's a massive, massive increase.
So you went from almost zero, less than 5% to 40%.
And again, we fell 10,000 ballots short in 2020.
Or 40,000.
Yeah.
We fell 10,000 ballots short in 2020.
You went from a few thousand people to 40,000 people, and that's almost four times that.
And that's not volunteers, and that's not even in a general.
So we could potentially chase hundreds of thousands of ballots.
That's the goal.
That's exactly what we're doing.
So that was our goal too, Charlie, was to make sure that we did that.
But we gotta do the work.
Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?
I understand.
I was right where you are two years ago.
Let me tell you why I chose the Ph.D.
Weight Loss and Nutrition Program.
First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her Ph.D.
in Chronic Disease and Sports Nutrition.
Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
Second, the Ph.D.
program starts in nutrition.
There is so much more.
They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gained this weight in the first place.
There's no shortcuts, pills or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.
And finally, and probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
Look, they're amazing.

So Tyler, what can everyday people do to get involved to be part of this now proven operation?
Well, and we'll take through, I just want to hit this one other data point, Charlie, because this is so exciting.
83% of all the precincts that we had full-time people out, beat Steven Richer, and that's with a spoiler candidate
in the race.
Now imagine it's 1-0-1 with the Democrats.
That's just pure turnip.
That's just pure turnip.
And so it's doable.
So going back, this is a proven thing that we now are looking at the data and we're going, oh, OK,
we've got a good handle on this.
What you can do, come work for us.
So the easy go-to kind of home link for everything is tpaction.com slash chase.
That takes you to all the different facets of ballot chasing.
Explains ballot chasing because a lot of people are like, oh, what is ballot chasing?
Well, it's identifying your neighbors, figuring out who's the best people to go target, and then following up with them.
But we have basically three different ways that you can get involved.
One, Come get a job with us.
tpaction.com slash careers.
We have full-time jobs.
Our second option is we now have part-time jobs open.
So we're now hiring extra jobs in Arizona, in Wisconsin.
We're putting as many people out into the field as possible.
Our team is incredible.
Lacey, that's overseeing this.
All of our managers, we have dozens of managers in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada, and Michigan.
And so they're kicking butt getting people out into the field and doing this the right way.
And we have Donald Trump coming this Friday for a very synergistic event.
Talk about that.
So it's Donald Trump this Friday in Phoenix, Arizona.
So our big thing that we launched last week is Commit 100.
So we talked about it on your show quite a bit.
You can go to tpaction.com slash 100.
So if you're a person that's like, what can I do to get involved?
You can go tpaction.com slash 100.
Our team is going to assign you a custom list on the Turning Point Action application of 100 voters to contact.
Now, you can do that outside the state.
You can do that inside the state.
So Donald Trump's coming to Phoenix this Friday.
We're going to be hosting him.
It's going to be a huge packed house in the Coyotes Arena.
You need to be there.
You have to be there.
Anyone that's listening to this, you have to be there.
And here's the reason why.
At this event, we're not just going to sit and listen.
We are going to be engaging people to download the application, get signed up for Commit 100, because when you get assigned those 100 voters, when you come to Phoenix, when you come to Wisconsin, wherever you're at, we're going to make sure we're helping you Reach out to those people and chase those votes.
So there's going to be trainings that we're doing every single day in Phoenix at our headquarters.
So October 1st and on, every day we're doing two to three hour training for a regular activist to come in and do it.
And then sending them out to go chase 100 ballots.
Let's start with also the micro.
How important is it if you are married to make sure that your spouse mirrors ballots, that you guys are voting in alignment?
Yeah, I mean, this is probably the biggest opportunity for us.
We are going to so many households where there is a spouse that's just not voting.
Not voting, or they might be voting for Kamala, but they could be persuaded.
Yeah, they're persuadable, but, or what's happening is the left is coming up and snagging your spouse's ballot and you don't even realize it.
So try, if you are a woman or man or whatever, and you're the one that kind of handles that stuff in the house, you need to take ownership of that house.
Yeah, talk to your spouse.
Make sure that there's a plan to vote.
Make sure that you're voting together.
The number one thing that we talk about is if you're not voting with your spouse, that's a problem.
So take your spouse to go vote.
Make sure that they are, if it's early, if it's by mail, if it's on election day, that you have said, hey, I'm gonna go with you so we vote together.
That's probably the most important thing.
A lot of spouses, don't forget this, 10% of America is having a bad day today.
You're going to have a bad day on election day.
You're going to have a bad day on the day you plan to vote.
So the more that you can rely on each other and make a plan, rely on your family too.
Your parents, your siblings, your kids even.
Work together to make a plan to vote.
This is the election where you can create that really good habit.
And mail-in is so easy, especially for lower propensity voters.
And if you have high school kids that are turning 18 this cycle, get them registered to vote.
If you have college kids, you must get them registered to vote.
This stacks up votes.
Yeah, and remember, you know, in a lot of states you have same-day registration, so it's not too late.
Not Arizona, though.
Arizona does not.
The last state to register is October 6th.
You know, it's the last day you got to get it in.
Which is probably a good thing, honestly.
October 7th is when early ballots drop in Arizona, but many states have same-day registration.
Our team will be helpful.
You know, we're practical here.
Vote the way that you can make a plan, but don't be the person that forgets to vote.
This is public record.
We have a lot of people who are knocking on their doors and we're saying, Yeah, it looks like you sometimes forget to vote.
And they're like, no, I vote every time.
Well, the reality is, no, they don't.
They think they voted.
They think their spouse voted for them.
That's right.
But they did not.
tpaction.com slash chase.
There's no hiding from our data.
We could tell if you have voted or not.
That is tpaction.com slash chase.

Joining us now is Mark Halperin from Two Way TV, editor-in-chief of a host of an amazing company, and I love watching their dialogues and discussions.
It is a digital platform that brings together creators and influential people with their super fans for extended, sophisticated conversations like no other live interactive video.
I really like it.
Mark is here in Chicago as well.
We're not in the same place right now.
Mark, thank you for joining the program.
I really appreciate it.
We know that from the RNC that there was a lot of behind-closed-doors politics and maneuvering that happens right before and during a convention.
We also know that Democrats had a lot of maneuvering going around, going into this one.
What's going on inside the Democrat Party right now that viewers might not be seeing?
Charlie, good to join you.
Sorry we're not co-located.
Sorry I overdressed.
I could not find a clean t-shirt, so I'm wearing a collared shirt.
I apologize.
Well, what's going on is they're trying to correct the record from last night where they went too long.
So they're looking at the schedule and making sure they don't run over.
And in terms of politics, they're trying to take the energy, and there's no denying there's energy around this new ticket, and trying to figure out how do we turn that into votes in the seven battleground states.
It's easy to get caught up in the gauzyness of favorable press coverage and magazine covers and the media going gaga.
But they're trying to figure out, all right, how do we take the delegates here?
How do we take the media here and turn that into actual votes in the battleground states?
Yeah, and translating the enthusiasm and the energy into a swing voter in Western Pennsylvania are two separate things.
Looking at last night and the programming, do you think last night was more about kind of just getting the Biden thing out of the way, in the sense where he's not necessarily a popular president?
Or do you think that there was some swing voter outreach last evening?
What was your analysis of how last evening went?
Yeah, so it's kind of like the Wizard of Oz.
You can't just pay attention to the man in front of the camera.
You gotta look behind the curtain.
The Biden thing had to be done.
They had to figure out a way to honor him enough so that his nose wasn't out of joint.
His supporters were happy.
But then to usher him off the stage.
But look earlier in the evening.
When you had labor leaders, you had abortion rights activists, those folks were on the stage, but they're also being sliced and diced for social media and for local news interviews.
And what you don't see if you're just watching the TV coverage is there's a factory behind the scenes here.
Republicans do the same thing, where they're taking those folks to satellite interviews, to social media creation, to local news, to try to figure out, as much as they can, how to take the message from the big stage and target it to, as you said, those undecided voters in Western PA and the other battleground areas.
But it's not just the undecided, right?
It's also about energizing the base.
Every election involves both, and so it's also taking those same folks and packaging them in a slightly different way.
To get the bass energized as well.
So, can you help the audience understand, because I'm sure it's been reported on, but for an organization that is run by Hollywood, that's used to Oscars and Emmy ceremonies, how on earth did they go so over time yesterday?
What was the reason for that?
You said there were some adjustments being made there, and it wasn't exactly the most, let's just say, honoring of Joe Biden, the fact that he ended up finishing his speech around, literally, You know, I came back to my room to watch the speech and I was so tired.
The only way I could stay awake was to stand up, put my shoes back on, and eat chocolate while I watched the end of the speech.
That's an unorthodox manner that probably most Americans didn't resort to because they didn't have a professional obligation to see it.
Why do Democrats run over?
First of all, they have a harder time than Republicans saying no.
And so they put a bunch of people in the schedule who really aren't essential, but that fattens
things up.
Second, they don't really police the timing.
So if somebody runs over, they let them run over.
And it's very hard to get the time back.
Eventually, they killed out two speakers and James Taylor, the pop artist, and they still
It was a disaster from that respect.
It still got covered, but obviously on the East Coast, fewer people are going to see it.
And so they're trying to avoid a repeat of that by tightening up the schedule.
And they're going to try to enforce the speaker's time.
And if somebody's in for three minutes, you got to get them off the stage after three minutes.
And there's different techniques to use that.
You're right about Hollywood.
The problem is the Hollywood rules don't apply here.
This is the rules of the Democratic Party, which basically are no rules at all.
Yeah, it's just such a contrast.
I mean, I had spoken at a couple RNCs previous, and at the RNC, the number one rule is you do not go overtime.
You do not go overtime.
You just read the words.
You do it.
It was so strict, and it's a made-for-television event.
So, I want to now go to this story here.
It was kind of an underplayed story yesterday.
Reuters reported it, that Kamala Harris' Super PAC decided to speak outwardly and publicly, saying that the polling that they are seeing is far tighter and less rosy than, say, the New York Times Siena poll that had Kamala Harris up five in Arizona, which is awfully ambitious.
Why on earth would a Super PAC speak out publicly, especially given the new FEC guidelines that Super PACs are now allowed to speak to campaigns?
So if the Super PAC was getting data that they found that was not consistent, they could have picked up the phone legally now because new FEC guidelines and just said, hey, David Plouffe, this is not, you know, we're on the same page.
Yeah, got it.
Instead, the Super PAC decided to go to the press.
What's going on here?
Excuse me.
So there are three reasons to do that.
And they have to do with the expectations game that campaigns always play, right?
On the one hand, you want to say, things are going great, have the bandwagon effect, and kind of intimidate and demoralize the other side.
And to get people to say, yeah, I want to vote for that group because they're doing great, and I want to be on the winning team.
The other balance to that is you don't want to be overconfident.
And what's the super PAC in the business of?
Getting rich people to write checks.
It's harder to get some rich people to write checks if things are going so well, they don't think they need them.
So that's number one is to get checks.
Number two is they don't want to appear overconfident.
If you look at the coverage of Kamala Harris by her allies in the media, You'd say she's going to win this thing easily.
What does she say all the time?
We're the underdogs.
Why does she do that?
She doesn't want people to not volunteer.
She doesn't want people to forget to vote early.
She doesn't want people to fail to make small dollar contributions, which is different than the Super PAC.
And the last reason to say it is about expectations here.
Some of these public polls, like that New York Times poll with Charlize, you know, gets so much attention because it's the New York Times, are creating a sense that Harris has got a lead of outside or close to outside the margin of error and that it's growing.
And what they're worried about is we get to the September after Labor Day, and maybe she doesn't do well in the debate.
And then all of a sudden, when momentum matters even more in August, right, it's like a basketball game.
If you have momentum in the first quarter, that's great.
But when do you want momentum?
You want it in the fourth quarter.
And what they're worried about is if their polling is right, and most of the private polling I've seen is tighter than the public polling, like the New York Times set of data.
What you don't want is to get to September and to have the perception out there that Harris lost the lead from five down to one, or five down to even.
And at that point, you're not the momentum candidate.
You're going in reverse.
So I think those are probably amongst the reasons why that super PAC did what it did publicly, as opposed to, as you pointed out, just conveying it privately.
So, there's been a lot of questioning, and in conservative circles, there was a lot of relief when Kamala Harris decided to go with Walls over Shapiro.
I think Shapiro would have been a much harder pick.
But maybe I'm wrong, and you came on our program and said, hey, you know, VPs don't move the dial nearly as much as some people believe they do.
Within the Democrat circles and the sourcing of the conversations you've been having, has the Walls pick been working for them?
Are they satisfied with his performance and the reception so far?
They are.
And Charlie, again, it's a very tribal thing, right?
They don't care that people have questioned his veracity on his DWI, on his military record.
They don't care because they feel impervious to that because the press is largely on their side on those things.
What they like about him is that he brings some of this cultural stuff.
You know, I can't remember if you and I talked about this last time, but if you just take some aspects of his bio, you know, a rural background from Nebraska, a coach, served a distinguished career in the military for a long period of time.
Those are biographical facts that not every Democrat has, right?
It's not a San Francisco Democrat or a Madison, Wisconsin or Brooklyn Democrat.
And so they like all that because they know that the party's maybe their biggest single challenge is to not be defined as super left-wing.
He does have a very liberal governing record, but those cultural things matter.
And the energy that the two of them have together, kind of like a buddy picture, Again, the Democrats are pretty enthusiastic about it.
I expect him to get a very big reception here in Chicago when he gives his speech, and on the road when he's done that solo event he did in Nebraska, for instance, and out in California, he's gotten a good reception.
So I think if you look at both the polling for the broader public and you look at the elites of the party, it's safe to say Democrats are at least as happy with Walz of the Ticket as Republicans are with J.D.
Vance, and it doesn't matter all that much, but it doesn't matter zero.
It's a fascinating world we live in, where we look at this as an outsider.
We say, boy, from the military service to the misleading about even the IVF thing that came out today.
But I guess they're digging in.
It's the new era of tribal politics, I assume.
So let me just, final question here, Mark, which I think is important.
I also want to tell the audience, please check out Two Way.
It's really great.

It's Two Way TV.
I ask this question of every person I see here that will talk to me, I'm not exactly a fan favorite here in Chicago, is do the Democrats in their own private discussions think they are going to win?
Charlie, I ask folks all the time and I don't have the highest level of human intelligence in the world, but after doing this for a while I have a pretty good sense.
I would say they are one notch above cautiously optimist.
It's not a sure thing from their point of view, but they're pretty confident.
And I'll tell you, if you're a student of Donald Trump, as you are and as I am, we don't agree with the Democratic analysis—I suspect you don't—that this is some new discombobulated version of Donald Trump, that he's lost his mind, that he's lost his bearings, that he's lost his capacity.
There are even some Democrats who go around saying he doesn't even want to win anymore.
I think they're misreading Trump and forgetting what Trump was like when he won in 2016.
But that's a big part of what's giving them confidence.
They really believe that the thing they've sort of talked about and wished for and speculated on for almost 10 years now—that Donald Trump's jig was going to be up—they really believe that's happened.
And that, I think, gives them as much confidence as anything, including the performance of Kamala Harris or the media support of Kamala Harris or anything else that they look to to be so optimistic.
They're pretty optimistic, and I would say again today, just objectively, talking as I do every day to people in both parties, they're the more optimistic side right now than the Republicans are.
Not by a lot, But sort of person to person, and you see this on my two-way platform talking to supporters of both sides, they've got a little bit more of the confidence right now.
And that's understandable because of the flow of the media coverage over the last couple weeks.
And I think President Trump is going to have his project clear coming out of this convention, headed into Labor Day.
And the debate is, he's got to get people back to thinking that he's the candidate and not her.
That's smart analysis.
Hard to disagree.
Almost every Democrat I've talked to said that.
We're gonna win and you guys are gonna lose.
I said, you might be right.
I'm not debating that part.
Mark, excellent work.

I'm gonna say this.
Ignore and make fun of AOC at your own peril.
I'm gonna say this right now.
In the next decade, she could be the presidential nominee for the Democrat Party.
Do you disagree with me, Jack?
They can't hear you, so just yes or no.
Okay.
AOC, I'm telling you, the base of the Democrat Party loves Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Discount her at your own peril.
AOC yelling here, but again, it's easy to make fun of her.
She's got talent.
She's got talent.
She's got sass.
She understands the internet.
Let's play Cut 25.
And I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people out from under the boots of greed, traveling on our way of life.
She had that place roaring.
Ignore her at your own peril.
She has real talent.
She brought that place to their feet.
Again, she's a communist.
I don't think she's particularly bright, but that doesn't mean anything.
You don't have to think deeply about issues to be good at politics.
And by the way, if the machine were to ever coalesce around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, watch out.
Let's play cut 24 here.
AOC continues.
Play cut 24.
In Kamala Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she is from the middle class.
She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and prescriptions.
She is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed.
And she is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home.
I'm telling you, she could be the nominee.
In eight years, we could be seeing the AOC convention.
And as soon as Chuck U. Schumer steps down or Gillibrand, she will be a frontrunner for that Senate seat in New York.
J.D.
Vance was asked at a press conference today how he's prepping to debate Tim Walz.
Play Cut 55.
I'd like to know how you were prepping for a debate with Tim Walz, who has described himself as a bad debater.
Who's helping you, and how are you prepping?
Well, I found a good friend from back home who embellishes and lies a lot, and I'm having him stand in for Tim Walz.
That's what we're doing during our debate.
But look, all kidding aside, what we're going to do is we're going to focus a lot on policy.
The way that I'm trying to prepare is to try to make sure that we're prepared to answer the American people's questions on how we're going to make their lives better, how we're going to make their communities safer, how we're going to bring back prosperity and low prices to the American economy.
Perfect answer.
I'm telling you, that J.D.
Vance Walls debate is going to be very, very important.
He's got a great sense of humor.
He's quick on his feet.
He's sharp.
I want to play another piece of tape from last evening.
Do you notice?
Hillary did not get that many headlines.
Hillary, she got a couple things here and there.
She got more right-wing headlines than on the left.
You know that last night was about upholding the rule of law and they have Hillary Clinton speak?
No, they're just trolling us at this point.
Play cut 36.
By the way, before I play cut 36, President Trump should go down on Mount Rushmore for preventing this monster from becoming President of the United States.
Anytime you get mad at Donald Trump, anytime you want to say, oh, I wish he wouldn't, just say, ah, nope!
He's immune to criticism because he prevented this beast from becoming President.
Play cut 36.
The Constitution says the President's job is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
Kamala cares.
Cares about kids and families.
Cares about America.
Donald only cares about himself.
So it is no surprise, is it, that he is lying about Kamala's record?
He's mocking her name and her laugh.
Sounds familiar.
But we have him on the run now.
Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Third hour coming up.
Again, praise God that Donald Trump prevented Hildebeest from becoming President of the United States.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
