	That was one of the worst speeches I have heard.
	Holy crow.
	I'm actually shocked.
	Are you guys shocked?
	Do not mix white wine with Xanax.
	We've been over this so many times that that combination does not end up producing.
	Like you know I just you know me as you said yesterday.
	I try to be even-keeled I try not to get too swept up.
	I try not to overreact That was that was bad.
	I think they very they were hoping for something stronger and I'm trying to think of the specific things in it.
	They're so like first she comes out and Everyone's cheering like this is her best moment.
	Just have everyone be jazzed up.
	They've gotten hyped up for all week to love Kamala Just bask in the moment.
	Trump is amazing at this.
	He lets him play the whole Proud to be an American song while he just stands on stage.
	That's right.
	Every time it's Lee Greenwood.
	And he just, he just soaks in.
	He told me once, he says, Charlie, you just gotta let him soak it in.
	He says, you know what he told me?
	He said, amateurs, he said amateurs cut off the crowd.
	I was like, wow.
	Yeah, anyway, continue Blake.
	like that's a great job.
	And she was really bad.
	Like, lots of people will say, thank you.
	You know, they'll kind of hint, you know, you can slow it down.
	But she's straight up, she's, thank you, thank you, thank you.
	We need to get down to business.
	Like she's basically telling them to shut up.
	I've got, I've got a time limit.
	Trump actually posted, Blake, so I don't know if you're reading Trump's post, but he did
	live post the entire thing.
	And one of the first things that he actually said, so going back to what, you know, Charlie
	even pointed out, too many thank yous, too rapidly said what's going on with her.
	Just why would you walk out on stage like that?
	You seem, you just seems insecure.
	It seems anxious.
	She's talked before that one of the reasons that she.
	you know, that she drinks quite a bit, she's fond of wine, that is that she gets severe social
	anxiety to the point where she's even held mock dinner parties prior to actual dinner parties,
	and she's had staff that she's had to go to in DC, and she would have staffers come in
	and role play at these mock dinner.
	I'm dead serious.
	This is like all reported.
	Staffers come in and mock roleplay the guests at the dinner party so she could sort of have a test dinner party, like a practice run before she has to go to the actual thing.
	Because even at this level, she's just so uncomfortable in her own skin.
	That's why she had to be vice president.
	It's the mock presidency.
	She had to do it for four years before she could even be president.
	She had to practice it.
	Yeah, I'm waiting for her to do any of it.
	That was bad.
	She talks about her family.
	Whatever, I'll give her a pass on that one.
	But, just the specific things she hits.
	Too many names.
	It was too many names.
	Wanda, and Bubba, and Shamima.
	It was too much.
	I lost track of it after about 40 seconds.
	I'm not going to critique that part.
	I feel like the part that will stand out... Where were the stories about things that she's done in office?
	In any of these offices?
	I fought in court.
	See, that's not something that sticks with people.
	I fought in court.
	Now tell me about a specific case.
	I put away this murderer.
	Right?
	Or something you had to fight against.
	There's no... This is like a bad... She wouldn't fail... She would have failed a basic job interview.
	And that's really what this is.
	This was a job interview for the biggest job in the country and she just bombed it.
	Sorry, Blake.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, you're right about that.
	That's a great point.
	She... Like, I didn't get a sense of... We didn't get a sense of Kamala as a story that you had to find compelling.
	Other people at the convention sold that a lot better than her.
	There was no narrative.
	Not much narrative, and you can make up for that if you have a really compelling message on like a platform, but she doesn't really have... She certainly doesn't have a challenger platform the way Trump did in 2016, and she doesn't have an incumbent platform.
	It's this big nothing burger, and I think...
	I almost want to go back and listen to it like there were so many awkward bits where it was like this was drafted by a committee and they were thinking we have to try to hit all these things otherwise it'll go bad for us so like it's baffling to me that she talked about the border like no one's going to buy that you're great on the border I'm sorry just don't don't do it because you're gonna like we're gonna fix the she brags like it's possible to Do you know both have a secure border and a humane immigration policy?
	Well apparently not because you guys have been president for four years and instead it's a giant meltdown.
	The other thing that's gonna stand out, the Israel-Palestine thing.
	Why did they even think they needed to mention that?
	I just think that was just inviting it to go badly and then they did it badly.
	I think if you were going to do it, just pick a side.
	Say you like Israel, maybe as a one-off.
	Placate that base and tell the radicals to poundstand.
	They're not gonna vote for Trump.
	Sounds like RFK is dropping out.
	Who do they have left?
	And instead she does the Israel thing.
	She tries to have her cake and eat it too!
	She pivots to, also Gaza, they're killing too many innocent people and I want self-determination for Palestine.
	That's gonna send a lot of people, you know, there are Israel hawks in the party and they're gonna come unglued about that one.
	And that is why, by the way, John Fetterman did not show up at the DNC was specifically on what you just said, because he is an Israel hawk.
	And he said, I don't like the way things are going.
	I don't like the way the party's moving.
	And I'm not going.
	That's why John Fetterman from somewhat important state of Pennsylvania is a no show.
	That Man, that was bad.
	Just, her voice is bad.
	She had to laugh.
	I don't think, you know... But just, I mean, just the whole thing.
	And by the way, who was coaching her?
	She was moving all over the place.
	I mean, it was very, very hard to watch her.
	Like, actually, physically watch her.
	And the substance of the speech, not a single mention of inflation.
	Not a single mention.
	I mean, the border, it was so poor.
	Not a single mention of violent crime.
	Not a single mention of violent crime.
	And she keeps on going back to when I was a prosecutor.
	When she was a prosecutor, she let violent offenders off.
	She tailored laws for illegals.
	That was her approach.
	She tailored them specifically for illegals while they were here, Jack.
	Trump has a really good post right now where he's saying that if she wanted to, she could leave this speech right now, go to Washington D.C., announce that the border is going to be closed, announce that fracking will be allowed in Pennsylvania, and all of these things that she's complaining about.
	She could just go to D.C.
	and do this right now, and it would probably help her out really well with her standing.
	But she won't.
	And I think he's previewing the way that he's going to be going after her and, you know, really just sticking it to her on these very basic questions.
	If you say you want these things, why not do them?
	And I thought the presentation was sloppy.
	I keep going back to that very sloppy presentation.
	This did not seem like something that was polished.
	I just compare and contrast her with Maya Harris, her sister, who went up there, who gave a speech that was high energy.
	It was bright.
	It sounded energetic.
	It was so much better than her speech.
	It was just on optics better.
	But of course, the media and people are saying that, you know, the media is just, you know, Jake Taper is going all in on this.
	He's like in love with it.
	And the media is good.
	This is what we're going to have, Charlie.
	This is what we're going to have is that the media is going to do everything they can to gaslight people about how wonderful and amazing her speech was.
	Yeah, I just want to read off some of these.
	I'll repeat what Andrew's been sending us.
	He says, amazing speech, powerful.
	They have to go back to 2008 to remember a speech like this.
	Back to 2008, she was better than Obama in 2012, better than Hillary, better than everyone else at this convention, just crushed it.
	What in the world?
	Now, I'm relating this secondhand, so maybe Andrew is somewhat exaggerating what they're saying, but I see no reason to think he is.
	The speech was infused with patriotism from beginning to end.
	The rhetoric was muscular.
	It was a great speech.
	She met the moment.
	That was from David Axelrod.
	David Axelrod thought this was a winner?
	I refuse to accept this reality.
	I refuse to accept this reality.
	You what?
	Trump just said that he said he's going on Fox.
	So I don't know if he's going live or calling in.
	He probably can't control himself.
	He's probably just going to call in.
	No, we should take that feed if we can.
	Are we allowed to simulcast Fox or do we just have to clip it?
	I don't know if we're able to simulcast that or not.
	But yeah, Trump is just probably... Get me on Fox!
	Get me on Fox!
	Get me on Fox!
	So, but like, I mean, just to show you the propaganda.
	I mean, again, that was objectively a bad speech.
	It was poorly delivered.
	It was not substantive.
	She was bouncing all over the place, her hand motions.
	She was doing the John Kasich.
	Do you know the John Kasich where you're chopping lettuce?
	She was doing the John Kasich where she was chopping salami.
	I mean, her hands kept on going outside of what we call the box in public speaking.
	In public speaking, less is more.
	And she keeps on, kept on going up and going up and going around and going up.
	Anderson Cooper says it would be interesting to play the two speeches back-to-back. It would be devastating, I think,
	to Milwaukee and Trump.
	Think back to how divisive and discordant the speech in Milwaukee was and how unifying this one was. It's striking.
	Oh, unifying. Really.
	Jack, what else you seeing?
	I mean, I just...
	Yeah, I keep thinking the way that what's gonna come next.
	So what's gonna come next is you're gonna just have the media for the next, what are
	we, 74 days, or it might be midnight here on the East Coast, so almost 73 days left,
	where the media is just gonna continue to lie to us constantly about Kamala Harris.
	And by the way, Charlie, make no mistake, this is why you saw all the warmongers lined
	up tonight.
	This is why you saw everyone who's in the pocket of big pharma is at this convention.
	This is your moneyed elites are pouring everything they can into Kamala Harris.
	And Joe Biden, by the way, actually kind of let the cat out of the bag when he said something
	a couple of days ago, and producer Faz caught it, Angelo.
	And he said that, you know, Biden said very quickly, he was asked sort of as he was going
	to and from the tarmac on one of these trips that I think was on his way out to California,
	actually, from Chicago.
	He said, he said, well, we're really going to focus on the House and Senate races.
	I said, wait, wait, wait, what did you just say?
	He said, we really want to focus on the House and Senate races.
	You mean, don't you mean the presidential race?
	You're very excited for Kamala Harris, right?
	No.
	So you're also going to see, I think, Charlie, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this money
	starts flowing into the House and Senate races in these swing states and swing districts,
	as opposed to going to prop her up.
	Because I think, look, they knew she was a dud all the way back in 2019.
	They know she's a dud now.
	They're just trying to salvage what they can in Congress.
	I think that's really what's going to go on.
	I don't, again, I think we're being totally gaslit.
	Don't you, Blake?
	I mean, I'm reading what people are saying.
	I watched this independently.
	Yeah, I mean, Blake, you're the most level-headed on this.
	Yeah, like, okay, so I don't think she had a total disaster moment.
	Probably the closest is it did seem the crowd sounded a little weird when she got to the Israel-Gaza part.
	I think some people in the audience didn't like it.
	I even thought I heard a sound like it might have been a guy starting to heckle her, but I might just be way off on that one.
	that so she didn't have like she didn't freeze she didn't have like a drunken
	meltdown I think that's I think it would have been unreasonable to expect
	anything like that but on the basics the idea that this was a historic speech or
	that she crushed it out of the park I I just don't see it I don't see no Blake
	I know you're I know you're trying to say what you're trying to end this is
	something that we talked about last night the media set the bar too high the
	expectations were so much higher than this they were telling us that she was
	going to be a transformative candidate all these references back to 2008 and so
	the bar was so much higher as opposed to had the narrative going going you know
	comma momentum come a lot all of this thing these things the sugar high the
	honeymoon as opposed to you know this was a rushed thing we're not the way
	they should have played it was to say this was a rushed thing Joe Biden had an
	issue at the debate they're going to see what they can to bring it together
	they're trying really hard you know talk about how it was you know they were
	planning things at the last minute talk and that then by the way the scheduling
	issues and the bathroom issues someone saying that they couldn't go to the
	bathroom and come back with security or the long lines getting into the DNC that
	the huge semaphore piece up by the way I think was Max Taney over there and and
	those guys were writing So and Ben Smith.
	So then you would have had an explanation for why things are not as polished as they should have been.
	But the problem was they set the bar higher than Mark Kelly on one of his exo-atmospheric flights than Mark Kelly in orbit.
	So no, there was no way she was ever going to meet this.
	She didn't.
	And they're just lying to you and saying that she did.
	I will say, I think Mark Kelly probably gave a worse speech than Conlon.
	He was awful.
	Oh my goodness.
	I've actually never heard him.
	The veepstakes got fully explained tonight.
	He's your senator!
	Like, who are all the candidates?
	It's like, okay, Mark Kelly was under consideration.
	Josh Shapiro was under consideration.
	Gretchen Whitmer was under consideration.
	Roy Cooper.
	Oh, oh, why'd they pick Walz?
	Oh, they actually just did pick the only one who could give a good speech.
	I'm not saying Walz was a great speaker, but he was better than all of these guys.
	Um, Andrew is sitting down here.
	So, Jack, what else is Twitter saying?
	I'm here.
	Wait.
	Unless Jack's got an update.
	Uh, no, no, no.
	Go ahead, Andrew.
	So, that was one of the... So, for those of you wondering where I just emerged from, it was an airplane ride.
	There's rain in Phoenix, and it caused some delays.
	Anyways, that being said, I was listening to CNN on the right over here just to get
	a sense of how the regime media was reporting it.
	And they are absolutely over the moon about this speech.
	It was pure propaganda.
	I was trying to transcribe and send it to the team here.
	I mean, they were like, she had to prove herself tonight that she was able to be a moderate
	center-left Democrat.
	And she met the moment.
	And the Republicans that I'm talking to, this is John King just before I walked in, the
	Republicans I'm talking to say she did what she had to do tonight.
	I mean, you know, I'm not sure what real sources John King has as far as... Adam Kinzinger.
	Yeah, Adam Kinzinger, I'm sure.
	Liz Cheney and the like.
	I feel completely divorced from their reality because of it.
	Because as I was listening to it, I legitimately thought it was shrill.
	I thought it was vapid.
	I thought it was... I totally agree.
	I thought it was hard to listen to.
	I felt like she looked uncomfortable.
	I felt like she was throwing really empty lines to appease the military, saying we need this lethal force, and you're like, okay, I guess?
	I mean, you do seem to love war, I presume?
	She didn't mention inflation.
	Oh, that's the buried lead of the night.
	Yeah.
	Keep going, Andrew.
	That's the buried lead.
	I want to get that after you're done.
	Yeah, she didn't mention inflation.
	She didn't mention the invasion.
	She acted like, you know, she was this outsider and that she was, you know, She was going to come and fix all these terrible problems, but you know, again, you have to defend the fact that you have been a vice president for three and a half years and you were in the Senate before that.
	And again, 12 of the last 16 years, Democrats have been in charge.
	What are you going to be doing that's any different than this?
	So I just felt like it was a complete dud.
	I felt like it was really, really missing the mark.
	I didn't think it was going to expand the tent at all.
	I felt like you didn't believe anything she was saying.
	So to hear CNN Be so bullish on what they heard.
	I mean, I'm literally more convinced than ever that the amount of free thinking away from regime talking points that the CNN panelists are able to do is approximately zero at this point.
	I think they were in on the Biden coup, they went hard, fast, and then first, and now they are circling the wagons to protect Kamala.
	Or whatever her name is.
	So the other buried lead tonight is just how the neocons have completely taken over the Democrat Party.
	So we had Leon Panetta, Adam Kinzinger, and Leon Panetta was literally like, and we and the Democrat Party believe that America should defend democracy in every corner of the planet.
	You're like, what?
	What, what Democrat party is this?
	Secondly, then you had Adam Kinzinger that says, the most important thing happening is our battle against Russia.
	And then Kamala Harris says, literally, she says, word for word, Blake, can you talk about this, this tweet you sent, that she's going to make it the most lethal fighting force on the planet, and that she's not afraid to use it?
	I mean, this is really terrifying, neocon, nation builder, warmongering stuff.
	The buried lead is how the Democrat Party went from the anti-war party to the loving war party, Blake.
	You know, Charlie, there's a former U.S.
	President who I think made a great point on this and he said, you know, the Cold War called and it wants its foreign policy back, Charlie.
	Remember that?
	2012?
	Mitt Romney?
	Obama?
	Was it the 80s call?
	I can't remember what exactly he said, but it was the 80s call.
	We've literally done a full reversal.
	We have the pro-war Democrats doing John McCain.
	The forum policy beats of that speech could have been John McCain's 2008 acceptance speech.
	After I talk about this, I'm going to look up John McCain's speech and see what it says.
	And if I don't bring it up again, it's because I embarrassed myself.
	And you can click this and put it on the internet or something.
	But I'm going to look it up right now and see what he said and see how it compares to what Kamala did.
	Let me expand on one other thing.
	But first, I want to thank our members here.
	Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	We're here live on Rumble.
	We're here live on Real America's Voice.
	Also download the Real America's Voice app.
	I want to thank Justin.
	I want to thank Randy.
	I want to thank Owen.
	I want to thank Aaron and Derek.
	Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	That is Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	Can we get the thank you montage from Kamala's intro, Ryan?
	So Kamala Harris, her intro is so awkward, so forced.
	She's well known to have performance anxiety.
	She looked as if she wanted to get to the speech as quickly as possible.
	She did not meet the moment.
	The moment kind of honestly slapped her around.
	She looked intimidated.
	She did not look confident.
	It was...
	It was awful, and I say that objectively.
	In fact, Andrew, my Twitter was going off a little bit.
	I had some thoughts.
	Let me read some of these tweets here.
	I was joking.
	I was at the airport, stuck there, and I was going, Charlie's on one tonight, and I love it.
	I'm here for it.
	It was good.
	I support it.
	Here's the one.
	Kamala can't handle the standing ovation.
	Overwhelmed.
	Frustrated.
	Irritated.
	Not ready for primetime.
	She's doing the major hand movement thing tonight.
	Her training didn't stick.
	She's moving around too much.
	Anxious.
	Frenetic.
	Not poised.
	The speech has way too many random names.
	We don't care.
	You are a fraud.
	You've ruined America.
	And you're a bad speaker.
	It's now abundantly clear why she fizzled out in the 2020 Dem Primary.
	No talent.
	Overrated.
	Staged.
	Usually when you accept a nomination, you attempt to not be the worst speaker of your convention.
	Did Kamala just reference her experience with elder abuse as a personal qualification?
	Who's gonna tell her?
	Kamala had one job and she's blowing it.
	Kamala, you're supposed to drink after the speech.
	A bunch of Democrats at HQ are looking at each other and saying, oh, that's why we thought picking her was a bad idea.
	She has no idea what she's doing.
	She's talking over the crowd.
	She thinks that she wants this to be over with.
	No vibe, no energy.
	Kamala, if you will end the housing shortage, why didn't you do it the last three and a half years or do it today?
	Is this an AA meeting or a nomination speech?
	This is a wine mom struggle session.
	Kamala says they will pass a middle class tax cut.
	Why haven't you done that?
	You're the vice president of the United States.
	The loudest applause line inevitably comes about having the ability to murder your unborn baby.
	This is the only freedom they believe in.
	Where are the 320,000 missing kids, Kamala?
	Kamala has allowed 10 million people to invade our country.
	320,000 kids are now missing because of her.
	She's a liar and a fraud.
	And finally, I keep on going.
	Kamala is getting heckled while talking about Gaza.
	Kamala successfully just pissed off all the Jews in Pennsylvania and Muslims in Michigan.
	And it continues from there.
	Blake, what is the online chatter saying?
	You know, it's a mix.
	Actually, I have seen, just real quick on that, I have seen the DSA types, the far left types are just really, really upset with her comments about Israel.
	Disappointing, having a party that's supposed to be the voice for all people, constantly ignoring a whole group that are being killed.
	But hey, Kamala is brat.
	I'm just reading a tweet here.
	F the DNC, F Kamala, F Israel, F the United States.
	I mean, just, they're so mad.
	They're talking about, oh, you say, you know, someone's killing the Palestinians, but who's killing the Palestinians?
	Yeah, they're going off on, they're saying APAC must have paid her to say these things.
	They're really up in arms about that.
	I looked it up.
	Is this a fair amount of... It's a lot.
	Yeah, it's a lot.
	It's like all the DSA types.
	I looked it up, Charlie, and Kamala was more hawkish than John McCain was in 2008.
	Whoa.
	Yeah.
	In 2008, John McCain was saying this, Russia's leaders, rich with oil wealth and corrupt with power, have rejected democratic ideals and the obligations of a responsible power.
	They invaded a small democratic neighbor to gain more control over the world's oil supply.
	Goes on a bit.
	The brave people of Georgia need our solidarity and prayers.
	Applause.
	Wow.
	Unbelievable.
	Unreal.
	says but then he says as president all work to establish good relations with
	Russia so that we need not fear a return to the Cold War but we can't turn a
	modern Democrat Party is now legitimately a warmonger party More hawkish on Russia than John McCain.
	How did we get here?
	Blake, let's tweet that out.
	Send that to Andrew.
	How did we get here?
	Because the ultimate form, the ultimate expression of government force is war.
	And the Democrat Party is the statist party, far more than Republicans are.
	And so it's just inevitable that they'd fall in love with war.
	Because war is the ultimate expression of the state.
	And you also have complete control over who lives and who dies.
	And at the nucleus of the Democrat Party is a depopulation cult.
	Whatever they can do to lower the amount of human beings on the planet, the Democrat Party is behind.
	Vasectomies.
	This is Kamala Harris saying thank you 31 times.
	This was so cringe.
	This is someone who is anxious, not ready to meet the moment, who should not be president.
	the invasion of other countries and murdering them.
	This is Kamala Harris saying thank you 31 times.
	This was so cringe. This is someone who is anxious, not ready to meet the moment, who should not be president.
	PlayCut 185.
	Good evening! Good evening!
	Good evening!
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, everyone.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	What do you think?
	Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Thank you, all.
	Okay.
	We gotta get to some business.
	We gotta get to some business.
	Okay.
	Thank you all.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Please.
	Thank you.
	Please.
	Thank you so very much.
	Thank you everyone.
	Thank you everyone.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	Let's get to business.
	Let's get to business.
	Alright.
	She is.
	I mean, her administration has been giving America the business for the past three and a half years.
	You could tell where she switched, though.
	Like, somewhere she went from, like, oh, this is kind of cool, like, they really love me, to, all right, I'm a little irritated and annoyed, and I don't know how to take this, and please sit the hell down.
	Our booking at the venue expires at 1130.
	We have to get out of here.
	I know, right?
	Well, the fire marshal was trying to talk about, like, they gave out too many passes, so he was talking about, like, shutting it down or something.
	I guess not everyone's above the law, but yeah, she just seemed like Frustrated, irritated, and angry.
	You could tell, you could tell like by the, I don't know.
	You know what I instantly thought of when I was watching this was those reports from some of her other like office cultures that she had sort of cultivated, right?
	Where they weren't allowed to look at her and she was known for swearing a lot and berating her staff and just being a total bully.
	You could see She almost snapped.
	Yeah, you could see that vein of her personality, you know, actual veins.
	You could see that part of her personality come out in that moment.
	I saw a glimpse of it and she's basically like, sit the hell down.
	It's time for me to talk.
	It's you to listen.
	All right, I want to play this.
	The gaslighting is on way.
	By the way, this is not just a male-female thing.
	I mean, all of us men think it was bad.
	I asked the young ladies in our chat, who do a great job and help us, Emma and Daisy, I said, do you guys think it was a bad speech?
	They say yes.
	Okay, so it's not just me.
	Because some people are emailing us saying that, Charlie, I like Trump, but it was a terrific speech.
	I don't think anyone who watched that speech, this is one of the most Orwellian moments I've ever seen.
	We were being totally gaslit.
	It's just, let's play Cut 187.
	Help me among the unsurprised.
	My experience listening to Kamala Harris began when tonight's host of the convention, Kerry Washington, said to me, would you like to meet the female Obama?
	This was in 2009 in the first months of the Obama presidency.
	And it's one of those moments that it's clearly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
	I was sitting there realizing I am seeing the first black woman president, no question about it.
	The female Obama.
	Self-delusion is powerful.
	But I'm telling you... They had these lines written before the speech.
	Of course, because to your point, Jack, I thought the same thing when I was listening to CNN on the way over here.
	Instantly, Jake Tapper's first go-to line, pulled it out of the bag, and if you can get it, Ryan, please do.
	The instant reaction was, you have to go back to 2008 to see a speech like this, and maybe, if at all, in the history of convention speeches.
	Instantly harkens back to 2008.
	I mean, Jack, I think you are spot on that people got the memo and we are to liken this woman to Barack Obama.
	And what did I say right at the beginning, Charlie, in our chat?
	I said, one thing is for sure, she ain't no Barack Obama.
	Because Barack Obama, hate him as you may, and full of abstractions, nails on a chalkboard to me now, he still has a cool, calm, kind of suave delivery that is objectively much more pleasant to listen to than what we just heard tonight.
	So Trump apparently called into Fox.
	I don't see it on any of my Telegram channels.
	I know it's late.
	So Jack, can you try to find it on Grabean or something, and we will clip it.
	I actually have it right here.
	Ryan, it is in your chat right now.
	Again, if you want the news fastest on the internet, Telegram is the way.
	I'm telling you, it is faster than Twitter.
	It is faster than anything else.
	People say, Charlie, how do you get that stuff so fast?
	It's Telegram.
	Jack, I also have it up all day, as you all know.
	I do all of our work, all my communication, all of my texting on Telegram.
	If you don't text me on Telegram, I'm like, what's wrong with you?
	Why are you texting me on iMessage?
	Weird.
	And so Trump just scolded Kamala.
	Yeah, go ahead, Jack.
	We're going to get this clip right here.
	Go ahead.
	No, no, I was just going to agree with you.
	I mean, it's as people know me for my Twitter, you know, they're like, you know, this guy's Mr. Twitter.
	And most of the time, like if I'm talking to people or reading things, I'm reading that and talking to people on Telegram.
	And then I might post something on Twitter that's like a thought or whatever, but I'm spending the majority of my time on Telegram.
	Just am.
	For sure.
	Okay, we are clipping this one line.
	President Trump scolded Kamala for not talking about child trafficking in her speech tonight.
	I want to encourage you guys to become a member.
	Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	That is Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	I want to thank Paul.
	I want to thank Ricky.
	And I want to thank Mark.
	Members.CharlieKirk.com.
	Okay, let's go to 189.
	This is President Trump on Fox.
	You didn't talk about child trafficking that she's allowed to happen because she was the border czar and she presided over the weakest border in the history of our country.
	It's an invasion.
	I was there today.
	As you know, Brett, it's an invasion of our country taking place at our border, our southern border.
	It's a total invasion.
	And now it's starting at our northern border also, through Canada.
	And she didn't talk about any of that because she talks, but she doesn't do.
	It's no action.
	But, you know, look, other than that, it was a nice looking, uh, room.
	Okay, so I want to throw this- Complimented the room.
	It's just, I'm just so- Let's keep on- Let's keep clipping it.
	Blank, you go, then I have a question for the group.
	Go ahead.
	I'm just so angry.
	I'm looking- I found a- AI's great.
	We have an AI made a transcript of the speech, so I'm reading through it.
	And just, I'm looking at her mention of the border, and what she says is, you know, I know the importance, because I was in law enforcement, I was a prosecutor, I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border, and she says, you know, blah blah blah, there was the bipartisan border bill, Trump killed it, and her border plan is, I will bring it back, and she says, you know, we can reform our broken immigration system, and what is unspoken here And of course she's not going to mention it, but I am and I'm annoyed is, okay Kamala, you want to fix the system, great.
	Why are things so much worse right now than they were four years ago?
	Why are they so much worse now than they were on January 21st, 2021 when you and your running mate took office in Washington DC?
	This is just...
	It requires you to have, like, a self-lobotomy to go through Kamala's speech and not notice all the ways to just avoid speaking the unspoken truth that things have gone to hell in a handbasket in the last four years.
	Oh, I visited Ukraine five days before Russia attacked.
	Yeah, and Russia attacked, and she says, oh, Trump, he abandoned our allies and he encouraged Putin to invade them.
	Well, wow!
	Why did Putin not invade during those four years?
	Why did he wait till your administration to do it?
	It's over and over.
	You just have to sort of...
	She's banking on the idea that America will not notice that she's in office right now and that all of the problems she's vowing to fix are problems that began or got substantially worse during this U.S.
	presidential term.
	And can we talk about their counter to this?
	And Jack, I feel like you and Blake will probably have the best memories on this, but their attack line on this, and Kamala reiterated it tonight, she said, we passed the strongest border measure in history and Trump didn't want to pass it because it was bad for his campaign.
	That law, that bill, was a flaming turd of a border bill.
	It basically mandated that we were going to have about 1.8 million illegal crossings every year.
	That was the low point.
	You had to exceed 5,000 a day before any of the stuff could get through.
	And then they would turn it off.
	And then they would turn it off.
	And Andrew, yes, to your point, it was a terrible bill, but also, if that's her big excuse, he's going to crush her on that at the debate
	because that's something that, and Charlie, you know about this,
	independent voters are not going to take that as an excuse.
	Like you really think that's gonna fly with independents who are actually concerned with this issue
	or people who are concerned with crime?
	Oh, we tried and we couldn't?
	Like, no.
	I will tell you, I just watched it.
	Very non-specific.
	Let's get okay. President Trump's calling it everywhere.
	The guy's a madman. I love it. He's the best. He's calling in the Newsmax
	He's calling into Fox 92 him on Newsmax. Yeah. No, he should I'm gonna text him
	play cut 192. I Will tell you I just watched it very non-specific
	She didn't talk about many things like interest rates China fracking and anywhere let alone, Pennsylvania
	crime poverty trade deficits child trafficking woman trafficking drugs
	the border She didn't talk about the most important things.
	It was a very general speech.
	And I ask a simple question.
	Why didn't she do it?
	She's complaining about this and that.
	She's complaining about prices.
	Why didn't she do it?
	The only thing she wanted to do is put price controls on.
	And if you look back, it's been done like 122 times over the last 200 years.
	It's never worked once.
	In fact, it's driven tremendous inflation and destroyed most countries where they tried it.
	Very substantive response.
	We're going to keep on clipping it up.
	So Andrew, a Boomer conservative, who's a great man, who's a neighbor of mine, stopped me today.
	He said, Charlie, I've been wanting to get this off my chest.
	I said, yes.
	He said, I'm very worried about this election.
	And I said, why?
	He said, this reminds me of Nixon v. Kennedy in 1960, where Nixon won on all the points, but Kennedy got all the pizzazz and he had all of the vibes.
	And he says, it's not that people don't always care about the issues.
	Trump is about issues and borders and issue.
	We can make fun of all this stuff and all the vibes, but judging where the culture currently is, will this ultimately be successful for Kamala?
	Has America become cynical enough after COVID, after everything, to maybe shake off a little bit of this propaganda?
	Or do we have natural immunity?
	Do we have antibodies to regime propaganda, Andrew?
	Yeah, I mean, you know, I was checking myself on last night's stream to make sure I wasn't, you know, absorbing a dose of copium myself, and there's a lot of different things, a lot of different reasons why I don't think, why this is effective, why her speech was effective, and why we have, I think that's well said, we have antibodies to this.
	I'm one of those people that Obama used to sound Hopeful and change.
	That stuff worked on me when I was younger.
	Maybe it's just me getting a little bit older, but, you know, it's nails on a chalkboard now.
	I will also say that having talked to a bunch of reporters, they're convinced that the white vote is going to come back in on our side, and then you, Charlie, you've brought this point up before many times, that we're gonna see that boomer vote really shore up for Donald Trump.
	I just don't think that this vibe, this social media, this brat, whatever it
	is, is going to play with them nearly as well. That being said, it's going to be a dogfight and
	it's going to be a close election.
	I know the one thing that really does concern me is that this really enthuses the activist base for
	the Democrat Party. I think that we heard reports from the field when Joe Biden was still the
	candidate, they were really struggling to get activists and volunteers to go chase ballots.
	That has turned around in places like Michigan. That to me is the real concern, that it has
	motivated them. I really think that on the margins, you got to imagine, we lost in 2020,
	and you can use air quotes, We lost in 2020 because in 2016 Trump won 20% of the white vote.
	In 2020 he won 17% of the white vote.
	That 3% dip in the white vote alone was the difference in the election.
	With all the shenanigans, everything else included, now you pile on the fact that she is just fundamentally a worse candidate than Basically, any modern Democrat candidate that we've seen, she's no JFK.
	That's certainly true, if you're going to go back to the 60s.
	But also, we do have this immunity, and we do have X, right?
	So there's a lot of counter forces that we're able to put out there.
	And I just, I go back to something I said last night, Donald Trump has built a movement over the course of nine years.
	This woman is a flameout.
	She cannot sustain the momentum or the enthusiasm.
	And I think tonight was just a big Giant dud.
	The media's gonna try and spin it.
	Maybe that will work for a short time.
	But let's get to these debates.
	Let's get to her actually doing a couple sit-down interviews and putting out more policy.
	And I think we're gonna see everything come back down to earth.
	I feel very strong and very bullish actually after this DNC.
	Let's play a cut 194 of President Trump on Fox.
	She said that she, hi there, she is promising middle class tax cuts and she says that if you are elected, it will cost Americans $3,900 more a year in increased taxes.
	She's tying all of that to this Project 2025.
	That's where that number is coming from.
	What do you say to that?
	Well, she knows I have nothing to do with Project 25.
	They throw it out.
	A group of people got together.
	They did a thing.
	I haven't even seen it.
	I don't want to see it.
	I told them specifically.
	I don't want to see it.
	People know where I stand.
	I lower taxes.
	She's raising taxes.
	She's going to give a tax increase of four to five times what people and companies are paying right now.
	Man, this Project 2025 thing.
	Um, I don't want to spend too much time on it, but I love Heritage, I love Dr. Roberts, but I gotta be honest, this thing just will not die.
	It's like, either own it, or get away from it, I just... Blake, what went wrong with that whole thing?
	They came out with a binder of Project 2025, repeatedly.
	Blake.
	I think the biggest problem with it was that, as opposed to... I don't think it was unserious, but instead of exclusively being, how do we maximize the effectiveness of an ex-Trump term, it was a means to an end, and that end was, get lots of attention and money to Heritage right now.
	And so they're doing all of this to get attention on themselves, to make it seem like, oh, we're
	the brain trust behind the Trump operation.
	It's all very, it was short term focused.
	It was a way to raise money in the here and now.
	A Democrat organization, what they would do is, and this is admittedly a thing they can
	do because they have more money, they would go to some billionaires and say, let's just
	imagine we flipped it.
	Imagine the Democrats said, okay, our last administration, you know, there were ways we fell short.
	We're going to be more effective.
	We want to iron out exactly who we're going to pick and all the policies we're going to do.
	Give us $10 million, some number, and we'll do all of this.
	Here's all of our deliverables, and we're going to do it all in secret.
	And we'll just, we'll hold some meetings in Aspen, and we'll get her done.
	Yep.
	And then we would learn about this in some Time Magazine article, you know, two years into the administration, and it'll just be, the secret story of how President Harris was able to get so much done so quickly.
	Exactly.
	Well, they had a project, 2025, secretly.
	And then of course, the Republicans would go berserk and there'd be conspiracy theories about it on the internet forever.
	And that's how they would do it.
	And instead, this was, it was like, It was like they were going on national TV beforehand and hyping it all up, and it's unfortunate it went that way, and it was super obvious that the Democrats would seize upon this as a way to run against it.
	Yeah, and you bring up something that I think is important, and Charlie, you know this better than anybody.
	The way that Democrat money flows, it's within a network, it happens in a back room, they sort of divvy up the pie, and it goes out secretly.
	Whereas conservatives have to sort of compete out in the open.
	It's a madhouse.
	It is a wild, wild world in the conservative world.
	Yeah, there's no central clearinghouse pushing out the money to the conservative groups.
	I think people assume there is, and there's smoke-filled back rooms.
	That's just not how it is.
	Conservatives have to sort of let the world know, hey, we're doing X, Y, and Z, and it actually is a fundamental disadvantage.
	And Blake, you've called that out, I think, well.
	And I think Heritage is probably fell victim to that, just sort of the way the right functions where they had to promote and publicize something that wasn't necessarily connected to the administration.
	Now, there are good ideas in Project 2025, but it's not Trump's platform.
	And he apparently disagrees with quite a bit because he felt the need to sort of And the fact that they don't bring that up is just, again, Orwellian.
	There's so much Orwellian in this DNC.
	Yeah, like, a comparison for Project 2025 might be if, like, you know, if you're a sports fan.
	Like, let's say Charlie got really excited for Oregon's next football season, and so he did Project 2025, and he's like, here's all the players Oregon should recruit, and here's what they should do with their offense, and here's what all their coaches should do.
	Yes.
	some of them might be good ideas some of them might be you know old that is a
	record that the court should get a little might actually take one of the
	they should do some of these things but that doesn't even it was we wouldn't come out and select a charlie kirkson
	the head of the oregon football program
	like heritage the person i like them
	They're on our side.
	Many of the ideas in it are good, but it is not Trump's platform.
	We shouldn't do all of it.
	There were some good things.
	There were also some things I didn't like in there.
	It's a project by some Trump superfans.
	That's what it is.
	That doesn't mean it's Trump's thing.
	And let's just be honest, just for whatever reason, It just resonates to normies and lefties as, like, as if it's the Manhattan Project.
	Just the way it comes across and it hits, it just, you know what I mean?
	It just sounds like, ooh, Project 2020.
	You know, it's just, it has a element from branding where it seems as if there's something sinister and they're not being true about who they actually are, which of course is the Democrats, right?
	This entire convention was actually what they say we're doing.
	The entire convention They did not once talk about mutilating trannies.
	Do you notice how de-emphasized the gay stuff was, guys?
	Do you notice they had one thing?
	They had Dana Nessel that was like, you can pick— What was in general, at least in the speeches?
	Yes!
	I'm telling you, this is— Again, there's so many takeaways from this.
	The neocon takeover of the Democrats, the fake patriotism, but the kind of— They admitted a major culture war L the last four days.
	A major culture war L. They did not lean in— Oh, are we on YouTube?
	See, Ryan... Alright, I'll stop talking.
	Never mind.
	I love the LGBT issue.
	I would never question the wisdom of... See, I can't... I can't speak freely.
	We gotta pull it.
	Alright, we pulled it.
	Delete it.
	Get rid of it.
	Never happened, Charlie.
	Alright.
	Anyway, this is why I love Real America.
	This is why I love Real America's voice and Rumble, by the way.
	It's just... They're the best.
	So, I mean, Real America's Voice and Rumble are two of the most important things.
	Let me just finish the thought really quick, though, is that the Democrats did not go up and they said, do you know why we are really proud of the Democrat Party?
	Because in California, if you're an 11-year-old, you can get a mastectomy without telling your parents.
	Applause.
	No.
	Did anyone go up and say, and do you know what makes Minnesota great?
	If you're an illegal, you can get taxpayer-funded tuition.
	Did they go in and they said, you know what makes us so great as Democrats?
	That in Chicago, over 50 people are shot on a weekend.
	They did not own any of the policies that are most fundamental to the core of the Democrat Party.
	Blake, do you want to contribute to that?
	Just, speaking of the gaslighting thing, she says in her speech about halfway through, she says, Donald Trump's explicit intent is to jail his political opponents.
	What?
	Well, and there was that Michigan lawmaker who said the same, that Donald Trump is going to weaponize the Justice Department to settle scores God forbid!
	Imagine if anyone ever did that!
	The lack of self-awareness, or actually just the brazenness with which you're willing to say something so untrue, is really a new era of Democrat politics, of modern American politics.
	And then to see the media just carry its water, carry the Democrat Party's water, is truly something to behold.
	You sort of always it's easy to critique the media and then you know we often say you don't hate them enough and this is like one of those moments where you're like the truth is so easy so You know, simple to comprehend and ascertain in this instance.
	You guys all consume the media just as much as we do.
	You have to see this, right?
	And yet they refuse to acknowledge what is true.
	And so, I mean, I cheer every time I hear about one of these outlets laying off people because I think genuinely we're at this point where it's good for the country.
	By the way, I'm checking the numbers.
	There have been 53 people shot in Chicago so far this week, and there are two days left in the week to go, according to HeyJackAss, which is a great site.
	And that's what the West Side largely shut down, so they're doing the shooting somewhere else.
	They can shut down the most murderous neighborhoods for the convention, but the shooting goes elsewhere.
	So, okay, email is freedom at charliekirk.com going to members.charliekirk.com.
	This is members.charliekirk.com.
	I think we have more of Trump that we didn't play, if I'm not mistaken, sent above here.
	Let me see here.
	Which one is this?
	Let's play cut 196, please.
	Are you ready to debate Kamala Harris on September 10th, giving what you heard tonight?
	Well, number one debate on September 4th at Fox, and she turned it down.
	Because as you know, Brett, I was willing to debate with you and Martha.
	I was going to debate on September 4th.
	She turned it down.
	And I'm willing to debate on... I don't like ABC.
	I think ABC is probably the worst of the group.
	But I'm willing to do ABC.
	I was willing to do CNN with Joe Biden, and you saw what happened there.
	I mean, CNN does not treat me or Republicans very good.
	But I was willing to do it because it was the only way I could get to debate him and ask him how that turned out.
	Very little mention of Joe Biden tonight.
	Very, very little mention of who actually the President of the United States is.
	The op they're trying to run, we've said it before, is they're trying to convince you that they're currently not in control of the country.
	They're trying to redo 2020 where they're acting like Donald Trump is the current President of the United States.
	That Donald Trump is actually currently in charge of the country.
	Andrew.
	Yeah, I mean, that's a repeat theme.
	They are trying to make it seem like she's some insurgent, some upstart, some... CNN was calling her the underdog and really playing this up, and I mean, I just find it completely offensive.
	You know, and then this other thing that we were talking about in our chat is how we all got opt with this special guest.
	I mean, if it was just a giant gimmick and we got played, That's a really telling aspect of the night, that they were willing to sort of just leak out a complete lie just to get more eyeballs on the speech because people were like, oh, is Taylor Swift coming?
	And so I'm sure it worked.
	A lot of people probably tuned in.
	You know, you've got to respect the hustle a little bit, I guess, but it's brazenly dishonest.
	So, yeah, 198 if we can play that clip.
	...talking anticipation here and elsewhere that there may be a special guest.
	I am told by Democrats that Kamala Harris was their guest.
	They did not want a celebrity at the end of this convention to essentially compete with her.
	One senior advisor telling me this is a deadly serious election.
	It's just a deadly, serious election.
	Let's not be that deadly serious, because they nominated Kamala Harris.
	I mean, for real, like, if you were going to try and fight and win a war, Kamala Harris would not be anybody's choice.
	The whole, like... Oh, go ahead, go ahead.
	The whole speech was basically like, we have an Obama at home, OK?
	We don't need Obama.
	We have our own Obama at home, and they just roll out Kamala for you.
	You can just imagine like Harry Sisson and that Parker Short guy just like in tears realizing they didn't get to dance to Beyonce or Taylor Swift.
	Can you imagine the disappointment?
	Just like, just like, leaned up against a wall, smoking a cigarette, like, ugh!
	And now we have to try to carry water for her for the next three months.
	Oh, they're, they love it.
	And we don't even get Beyoncé out of it.
	He gets trolled.
	Mike Lindell asked him if he had a vasectomy.
	Mike Lindell is dunking on you.
	I would have asked him if he went to the abortion van.
	Just Harry Sussan.
	I did ask him on that.
	Yeah.
	I did actually ask someone that.
	It was not Harry Sisson.
	Man... I just think that...
	You know, this is heresy to mention.
	I know we don't want to, but there's two levels here.
	One, I feel more confident we're going to win, but say something unfortunate happens.
	Ah, Blake.
	Blake.
	Yeah, that was the most bullish comment I've ever heard from Blake.
	I'm clipping it.
	It's his birthday.
	I'm saying dump his audio.
	I don't think he realized what he was doing.
	I don't think he realized what he was doing.
	All I was going to say is if Kamala were to be president for four years, I feel like it
	would be so bad that we might get like an extinction level event for the Democratic
	Party four years later.
	Because can you imagine what the approval rating of President Kamala would be if that's
	who's rolling out there every day giving you some shrill, please quiet down now, let's
	get down to business lecture as inflation goes up to 15 percent and we have a sovereign
	debt crisis and like Taiwan gets like wrecked and she's like out there looking tipsy on
	like the Rose Garden.
	And laughing.
	Yeah, doing her creepy laugh.
	Taiwan is a little island and China is a big country and China is... There's water all around it.
	Alright, so Paulie Market is down 2% tonight for Trump.
	He's still up 51.47%, but if that's the big DNC bump for Kamala based on the betting markets, then to your point, Blake, I think we're gonna... This could have been a lot worse.
	I mean, frankly, this whole night, this whole production, the DNC, Charlie, we said it, you know, she got this big Kamala momentum bump right after the announcement that she was top of the ticket.
	And we said, listen, there's going to be some bad polls between now and the DNC.
	We've got to weather this storm and then close hard.
	I'll be honest, I expected this to be worse.
	I would say on Monday, looking at polymarket over time, on Monday it was Harris 51, Trump 47, and over four days they switched places.
	Over the course of the DNC.
	That is a disappointing DNC.
	Yes.
	And I don't know where Predicted is, if you guys have that, but it's been a little bit more pro-Kamala.
	So let's see where they're at.
	So Kamala, no change, 53-49 for Kamala on Predicted.
	But that's where it was before.
	So again, if you're looking for a bump, I just don't know that I see it.
	I really don't.
	And for them to try and You know, gaslight the American people that this is the second coming of Barack Obama.
	You can see for yourself, Tuesday to Thursday, she's no Barack Obama.
	This is not the bump they hoped it was.
	And maybe I'm biased.
	Jack, Charlie, I'd love your feedback on this.
	But I just don't see the same quality of talent within the Democrat ranks, the bench if you will, that I do within the Republican circles.
	The fact that we have somebody as talented, as articulate as J.D.
	Vance, yes they're attacking him, yes they're smearing him, but they would have done that to anybody that Trump chose as his VP, whether it was Marco Rubio or whatever.
	uh... but the fact that we have a jd vance in the ranks of that we have a
	marco rubio who at whose views more and more i tend to agree with these become much more
	domestic focus much more populist right uh... but the list goes on i mean that the rnc was a was a
	uh... we were spoilt for choice with how much talent we have on our bench
	and the Democrats, I mean, you're putting up Mike Waltz or Tim Waltz as your as your
	VP.
	Like that's the best you can do.
	Jack, you mentioned that Shapiro's speech fell flat.
	Mark Kelly's speech fell flat.
	Roy Cooper's speech fell flat.
	I said. I said the Josh Shapiro speech came up short.
	In a minute Yes.
	I have no idea why you chose that particular descriptor.
	But yeah, it certainly did.
	And I mean, I've heard zero positive coverage about Shapiro's speech.
	Pete Buttigieg's speech was, it also came up short.
	So I don't know.
	I just, I look at it and I'm like, maybe Kamala Harris is the best they got, you know?
	They wanted her to be the second coming of Barack Obama when she got elected to the Senate.
	She fell short again in a lot of different ways.
	She was a disappointment.
	She was a disappointment as the vice president.
	And they're trying to still force-feed her on the American people.
	And I just can't see it working.
	But maybe I'm wrong.
	So guys, real quick, I have a buddy.
	And it's so funny that we all mentioned this.
	I've got a buddy who is going back and watching the, he was working.
	And so he went back and started watching the speech again.
	And he's like, oh, I'm going to start it now.
	Because he's someone who's kind of like Blake, just has a very objective eye for a lot of these things.
	And the first thing he texts me, he goes, wait, who steps on their own applause?
	Like, like wha- Why did she do that? It's so bad. And Andrew, I know you
	weren't here for that part, but we were all pointing out, and even Trump posted about this, that
	they were applauding for her and she forced them to stop because she was upset because she
	wanted to start speaking.
	It was really awkward.
	She got irritated.
	Yeah, I mean, you could see that side of her personality, the bully come out, the one that berates her staff 100%.
	But yeah, I mean... Eye contact.
	Remember, you have to maintain eye contact.
	You have to smile when she comes into the room.
	All of these stories that have come out in, like, liberal press, by the way, about her, that have been leaked from her.
	The fact, by the way, that she has no long-term staff.
	I should have said that earlier.
	She has no long-term staff.
	Almost all of the staff that came in with her at the beginning of the vice presidency is gone at this point.
	They've turned over.
	Why do you think that is, boys and girls?
	Do any of her old staff even follow her on Instagram?
	We need to investigate.
	I've actually been told that some of her old staff was texting the new staff saying, good luck guys, you're gonna need it.
	Jeez.
	The protesters are actually up pretty high outside.
	Do we have any of those clips?
	Yeah, we do.
	Let's go ahead and play... They're like harassing delegates as they come out.
	199?
	Yeah, 199.
	Play that.
	Put that in the center frame if you guys can.
	We can react to it.
	This is a clip from Tenet Media.
	Interesting that it does seem like the protests have ramped back up tonight.
	A sort of final crescendo from a protesting standpoint as well.
	Jack, are you hearing anything from sort of our team that's in the field about if it's actually ramping up or if this is just a few hot spots?
	Let me go check.
	I know there's like eight people that we have there.
	And then Postmillennial has someone there as well.
	But no, this is all basically, so it's right outside the DNC.
	As you can see, this is sort of one of the exits.
	There's numerous exits there.
	And yeah, in some areas, they've pretty much blocked off the streets.
	They're going in, and it's starting to die down a little bit now.
	But yeah, they were marching.
	Some of them going back to the park.
	And it was getting, it was, you know, the police came out, and the police have been, you know, pretty forceful here, but... Yeah, so, so we were hearing... And pretty strong throughout all of it, but... Jack, I'm wondering if your sources confirm this.
	Yeah, they're like under the L. I'm wondering if your sources confirm this, but we spoke with... Does that work, guys?
	Yep, we can hear you.
	Hey, Charlie's back.
	Yeah.
	Watch Charlie from there, folks.
	We were hearing from... Hey, I'm really proud of myself.
	I just, I just troubleshot technology.
	He turned it off and turned it back on.
	You're better with tech than you let on.
	Not with cameras.
	There's a whole bunch of gizmos here that I've never heard.
	There's live views and sound busters and monkey keys and transponders and an axle rod.
	And I've never heard of these things before.
	Well, we're glad to have you back, Charlie.
	We were just commenting on the protesters, and we spoke with William J. Kelly, who's a very famous reporter in the Chicagoland area, and he was saying there was a dirty deal that was made between Brandon Johnson and the protesters.
	And so I think there was sort of a handshake deal that said, hey, we're not going to stop you.
	Everybody knows you're coming.
	You can have a few protests.
	Just don't let them get too unruly, right?
	And I think there was a couple instances where the protesters went rogue.
	They started pulling down fences and barricades and they infiltrated the perimeter, the security perimeter.
	Those seem to die down pretty quickly.
	I would say, in general, they failed to materialize.
	We predicted that would happen, actually, especially after we spoke with William J. Kelly.
	But, I mean, it seems like there was an agreement made, and for the most part, the protesters played along with that script.
	You can't control them all.
	Some of these people won't be controlled.
	Some of them really, genuinely do hate the Democrat Party, especially the corporate Democrat Party.
	And yeah, you can see the B-roll, of course.
	Ah!
	Ryan got my CNN clip.
	This thing.
	I don't want to throw to it if we're still talking about protesters, but this is pure Pravda.
	Regime Pravda.
	And Charlie's showing us pictures of the tech he just troubleshot.
	Let's go ahead and play Cut 190.
	I know exactly where that is.
	I know exactly where that's right.
	Where the L is.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Cut 190.
	There you go.
	... rhetoric, a speech with many many shots across the bow of Donald Trump, her opponent, and a speech in which she sought to portray herself as a credible commander-in-chief.
	Patriotic, firm, confident, and credible.
	She discussed Israel and Palestine.
	She discussed Ukraine.
	She discussed the threat from Iran.
	It was a remarkable address.
	One that I've never seen her give quite like this before.
	A very, very powerful speech.
	You gotta go back, I think, to Barack Obama in 2008 for a Democratic speech like this, perhaps even a speech like this at all.
	Whoa!
	He says it might have been better than Obama!
	Well, why do you do this to yourself, Jake Tapper?
	I mean, is the, what, $12 million a year they pay for you to be a hooker, like, worth it that much?
	I mean, really, I'm like, okay, fine.
	Like, I just, why are you doing this to yourself?
	It's just, you're nothing more than just a glorified prostitute just reading lines better than Obama does.
	Like, you're gonna be replaced by AI by the next convention.
	Like, just have a little bit of dignity.
	Well said.
	I could have said it better, Charlie.
	That is a shock.
	I mean, I was listening to this in the car on the way over and I was transcribing it to you guys.
	You thought I was trolling you guys.
	I was like, no, this is what CNN is actually saying right now, which I was like, glad I was going to have to nuke you.
	No, I don't share those opinions with Jake Tapper.
	It just, my jaw dropped listening to, and maybe this, I always say this word wrong.
	Blake, correct me.
	The Rorschach test.
	Rorschach.
	Rorschach test.
	Rorschach.
	Maybe this is just one of those things where the country has become so divided and so tribalized.
	Maybe it's just you see this and it's just confirmation bias.
	The whole way.
	I mean, what percentage of the population is still reachable and, you know, persuadable in the middle?
	I can tell you this.
	The people that are persuadable are not the people watching this.
	They're the ones that are scrolling through TikTok at 2 a.m.
	tonight.
	The people that we're reaching in record numbers.
	Those are the actual ones that are persuadable.
	I mean, a lot of people have lives.
	They don't want to hear Kamala Harris scream like an out-of-control wine mom about how she's gonna, you know, invade Russia if they dare, you know, say a bad tweet about us or something.
	Actually, on that note, a little bit of a white pill, Charlie.
	We were looking at your TikTok numbers, and Ryan, if you can pull some of those numbers up so I make sure I get them right, but the Charlie Kirk Show TikTok has reached, in the last however many what was it, three months or something? 176 million people.
	Just Charlie's TikTok.
	And so, you know, those are the type of numbers that actually do win elections. And I will say,
	when I was getting off the plane, and I was trying to watch Kamala's speech and watch the speeches
	from the DNC, the...
	There was nobody else on that plane even talking about the DNC.
	There was nobody on their phone trying to catch clips of the DNC.
	I'm sure a lot of them will pick it up later or see clips on social media or whatever.
	But there was no... I sort of expected it to be like the World Series and you look across the plane or the Super Bowl and everybody's watching the DNC.
	Nobody was.
	Nobody was even talking about it.
	Yeah, we have these numbers.
	You know something that I... Go ahead, Jack.
	...that I know.
	Oh, you can do the numbers.
	Something just occurred to me, though.
	Yeah, so 173 million viewers, and that was in the last year.
	173 million.
	And that's amazing.
	Trump is on a rampage.
	He just called Greg Gutfeld on his show live.
	Can we clip it?
	Because he didn't like that he got cut off.
	Yeah, I know we got to get this.
	All right, we got yeah, I just let's let's get this right here.
	I'm sorry to interrupt.
	No, it's great.
	He's a madman right now.
	18 to 24 year olds, 30.8% of that audience.
	25 to 34 year olds, 32.3% of that audience.
	44 and under basically makes up about 80%.
	year olds, 32.3% of that audience, 44 and under basically makes up about 80%. So 44 and under is
	80% of the TikTok audience that we've reached on Charlie's TikTok account in the last year.
	It's that is incredible.
	It's really incredible development.
	And we didn't have that in 2020.
	We certainly didn't have X to the size.
	We didn't have that in 2023.
	We didn't have that in 2022.
	No, none of these things.
	So these are all new developments.
	And anyways, just a little bit of a white pill, folks.
	I mean, the reach is unparalleled.
	I think I just noticed a dog that's not barking.
	And one of the tweets on Kamala Harris's account made me start thinking about this.
	Did you notice any speakers really make a big pitch for her as the first female president?
	I didn't hear that a lot.
	I'm not saying it wasn't mentioned.
	Hillary did mention it, right?
	No, they won't break the glass ceiling once and for all.
	It wasn't like Hillary.
	There was a couple of the- Hillary did mention it, right?
	But it wasn't, it was a much, much of a, it was a de-emphasis from where it was in 2016,
	from this idea that, and so Charlie, this is going back to what we were talking about before,
	white working class men, that they know that that's where you saw the emphasis.
	You saw the emphasis where them going over the top and having like, you know, Tim Walz's football team from like 25 years ago or something is like dancing around on stage with them.
	and veterans, again, the Hicklib stuff, the Yellowstoning stuff,
	but you didn't hear in 2016, eight years ago, the last time they ran a female candidate,
	it was the whole campaign.
	I'm with her, first female candidate, first female candidate
	and you heard the media saying it over and over and over and over and over.
	And so I have to think that was a deliberate decision that was made to de-emphasize the idea
	of her being the first female candidate and just try to play her up as, you know,
	she's a good person and she's, you know, she's got a great personality,
	here's some stories from her childhood, et cetera.
	But it's a huge dog that's not barking that they're really de-emphasizing.
	emphasizing the fact that she would be the first female president.
	Well, okay. Let's, uh, this is Donald Trump. Hold on.
	This is Donald Trump calling in a gutfeld. Let's play cut 202.
	Hey, Mr. President, I'm on this. I'm live now.
	Say hello to my audience.
	So don't say anything that'll get you in trouble.
	All right.
	At this point, to what difference does it make?
	We're doing well.
	We're leading in the polls.
	All right, Mr. President points down.
	Yeah.
	And they said he has to get out.
	And they basically staged a coup.
	Yeah.
	You know, let's let's all see how it happens.
	But I think we're doing very well.
	All right.
	All right, Mr. P, I got to go.
	I see ya! Come on!
	I gotta say Greg Gutfeld is in a sea and a world where there's so few talented people,
	he's one of the most talented, like legitimately funny people in the media space.
	Can we all agree that?
	Like, Greg Gutfeld is actually a funny person?
	Anyway, I just have to say that.
	Yeah, he's funny.
	He's a good guy, too.
	He's actually a really good guy.
	I record The Five.
	I record The Five and watch it on 2x speed every single day just to hear Greg Gutfeld's rants, because I think he's that talented.
	Anyway, he's always been really good to me, so.
	I love Greg.
	I've always had great interactions with him.
	Don't all talk at once.
	Yeah.
	I'm thinking about what, uh... Oh, hey, guys, can you get... Hold on.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Guys, can you do something?
	Can you get Gavin Newsom's speech, please?
	From the stage?
	Please?
	Can you get Gavin Newsom's big address?
	From the stage.
	Talk about dogs that aren't barking.
	The dog that's not barking.
	Talk about dogs that aren't barking, right?
	there's a lot that was left out of this DNC that they could have done.
	And I think there's a lot of deliberate things, deliberate choices that were made,
	especially this whole idea of the surprise guest.
	That may have been like, the surprise guest thing was either one of two things.
	I think number one, it could have been a potential counter for all the RFK news that was going on
	because going in and Charlie, I texted you, one of the first things that we talked about this morning
	was that the RFK story was the number one media story this morning, all the chatter, all the buzz.
	My phone, Andrew, you talked about yesterday that your phone blew up about it saying, what are you guys up to?
	Turning points, cooking up something with RK.
	It hasn't stopped.
	It hasn't stopped, Jack.
	We don't, this is not us.
	Like this is really not us.
	But yeah, it's still going on.
	And then, and then suddenly they're like, okay, well, we need to cook up something to get some buzz about the DNC.
	Hey, let's leak that there's going to be A surprise guest and a performance and all this and and there just never was there.
	There never was a surprise guest.
	And the only other thing I could potentially think it would be is maybe like a, you know, like a leak trap.
	The idea that, you know, you leak something to a couple of staffers and then you go because remember, Don Lemon went out there publicly.
	Don Lemon went out there publicly with that really weird breaking story saying that he had sourced Taylor Swift and George W. Bush.
	And he was like very serious about that.
	And then like all of their publicists came out and said, no, this isn't real, like one by one by one.
	And so the idea is who said that to Don Lemon and whoever they can find out who said that to him,
	essentially that means they're a leaker.
	Oh, so you get the milk boys guys.
	I even watched a lot of the Nelk Boys, you guys.
	I was like, where are they gonna go with this?
	Did you guys see this video of them watching the Kamala Harris video?
	It's really funny.
	We have to play it.
	Sorry, I was just... No, I haven't seen it.
	It's very, very good.
	Let's play this.
	If you haven't seen it, don't watch it before we show it on air.
	Don't watch it in the chat.
	Don't watch it in the chat.
	We're gonna load it up.
	Alright, I have not watched it yet.
	Just play it.
	Just play it.
	Do not watch it.
	We're going to watch it on the... We're going to play it on feed for everyone to see it.
	In the meantime... Alright, I'm not... No.
	You just watched it, Andrew!
	He just told you not to watch it!
	I know.
	Andrew doesn't listen to anything I say.
	Go to members.charliekirk.com Wait, do you want to play it?
	It's ready.
	Let's go ahead and play it.
	Yeah, is it ready?
	Yeah, it's ready.
	No, it's not ready.
	Because I... Who said it's ready?
	What cut is it then, Andrew?
	It just... Studio, play it.
	It's ready.
	I see it.
	Okay.
	...all survivors of crime.
	No way.
	Remind them, no one should wish to fight alone.
	Camilla Harris will never be my president!
	Whoa!
	Jesus Christ!
	Whoa!
	Whoa!
	Jesus!
	Whoa!
	So yeah, I kind of knew that that's what they were going to do.
	It's the men versus women election.
	Yeah, so this is a meme based on a lot of sports viral videos.
	This will happen when a team loses or something.
	You'll typically see a group of guys do that.
	Not usually with a sledgehammer.
	But yeah, once I saw that, I was like, I know exactly what's going to happen next.
	All right, well, thanks for ruining it for me, Jack.
	I just feel bad that they're destroying that TV because, you know, they'll have to use microchips to replace that TV.
	And thanks to the Biden administration, Biden-Harris administration, you know, we're losing the chip war.
	Now they're squandering the CCP.
	That's why the CCP is going to take Taiwan.
	Yep.
	Which is an island.
	Taiwan is an island which is surrounded by water and China.
	Taiwan is amazing.
	The resiliency of Taiwan.
	But it is only matched by the resiliency of Ty2.
	Jake Tapper said that Kamala's speech had a lot of shots across the bow, and I do agree with him.
	There were a lot of shots involved in that speech.
	Blake answers right back.
	Very good.
	Very good.
	Alright, who actually believes she's drunk all the time?
	Or just some other substance abuse issue?
	I don't.
	Oh yeah.
	We know she's really drunk.
	There's some chemistry going on there.
	We know she drinks.
	She's buzzed.
	I don't know if she's like an alky.
	Well she's like a wine mom.
	She's a wine mom.
	Right?
	Or do you think she's actually popping pills like Adderall and she over floods her system?
	I feel like we would know.
	She puts the joy in Chardonnay.
	I think we would know.
	We've had all the other leaks about Kamala.
	I think we would have the leak if she was drunk in the office.
	She does have that affect though.
	We've seen the threads and discussion.
	She kind of does behave like a slightly tipsy nervous woman a lot of the time.
	That doesn't mean she literally is.
	But she sounds and looks that way.
	Yeah, well, it's one of those things.
	You just imagine Joe Biden was getting his B12 shot and his whole cocktail, you know, getting ready for his speeches.
	Meanwhile, Kamala's in the side room just throwing back a few white wines.
	It does fit, but I, you know, it's a...
	Andrew, you're a wine guy, so you might know this better than me, because I got a text earlier tonight that said that her go-to is something called Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru.
	That white wine is like her, it's like her, from Burgundy, it's like her number one go-to wine.
	Might be a little out of my price point, but yeah.
	No, it's like super high price point.
	I looked it up.
	Yeah, I don't even recognize the name.
	I'm not really like a wine connoisseur or anything like that.
	You know, we sort of, yeah, I'm not the guy to ask, but I would say, I mean, I do... I mean, out of the four of us.
	Yeah, you're sober, Charlie doesn't drink, and I don't think Blake does.
	Maybe the occasional... Like once a month or something.
	I don't know.
	That sounds like an expensive drink.
	Blake only drinks Natty Light.
	Blake is a hardcore Natty Light guy.
	I'm going to fight you, Poso.
	I'm going to find you.
	See, there's that Addy Light speaking.
	It's coming right out.
	Oh my gosh.
	We have to play 2-0-5.
	I mean, the media is going full Pravda and it will be a problem if they're just, they're basically tipping their hand that they are so committed to Kamala being president that they have foregone any objectivity or any sober, rational, speaking of sobriety.
	Let's see it.
	205.
	The white wine, the white wine floweth tonight on MSNBC, both before and after the speech.
	Play cut 204.
	cut to a four oh two oh four okay yeah I know I'll be working with as the
	governor of Maryland clip and save it's all I'm saying I will collect later on
	this you will remember where you were when you heard this speech tonight from
	the vice president of the United States Kamala Harris really introducing
	herself to the nation speaking as much to Republicans and independents as she
	was to the Democrats who were nominating her tonight asking Americans to remember
	how great their country is and to fight for its values.
	You're going to remember where you were on this night.
	This is an inflection point in history.
	I'm gonna snap.
	I am going to snap.
	Introducing herself to the country.
	She is the sitting vice president of the United States!
	She is not- We should go find it!
	There's probably someone who said that- In 2020!
	About the same speech!
	Oh, this is Kamala Harris introducing herself to the country!
	Wait, we should do that.
	Hold on.
	That's a great idea.
	We should.
	That's a great idea.
	We actually should pull up her speech in 2020.
	When they did the live stream on their convention.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	It's truly something.
	She's the Vice President!
	Everyone knows who the Vice President is!
	Yeah, but she got to give her whole biography.
	You know, a little brown woman with an accent.
	She didn't even do a good job.
	All I remember was Wanda, Shanaynay, and Gumbo.
	I watched the speech, I don't even remember what she talked about in her biography.
	That is a joke, right?
	There was definitely a gumbo.
	There was a Wanda.
	And her sister Maya got up.
	Did she not mention gumbo?
	Was there not gumbo?
	There was something about gumbo that they couldn't afford making gumbo.
	That sounds plausible.
	I was intermittent.
	Check the AI, Blake.
	There was some mention about Gumbo.
	Oh yeah, yeah, let me see, just a sec.
	Uh... Gumbo... Yeah, family who taught us how to make Gumbo, how to play chess, and sometimes even let us win.
	Uh... Yeah, and she's talking about all of her... None of them family by blood, all of them family by love.
	She brought up Coltrane, too.
	Coltrane and... Can you send me the... send me the full... Send me the full, um, transcript.
	There were way too many names.
	It got very confusing.
	Playcut 205.
	Nora, I am on the convention floor, but that floor is now covered up to my waist in balloons.
	I think the confetti's in the air, the big balloons are flying, and the 2024 Democratic National Convention is definitely in the books, and people are loving it down here.
	Chuck Schumer, was he dancing, was he prancing?
	I just saw him go by.
	We've got cheers, we've got a certain underwater quality as people dodge the balloons, a certain concert quality as people wait and enjoy the music.
	And I will leave the reviewing of the content to you, but the emotion and the feeling down here is... I don't know.
	Seven-year-old's birthday party is how I would put it.
	There is joy and there's not a lot of thinking.
	It's a good time.
	Not a lot of thinking is right.
	My goodness.
	Well I'm literally reading, this is how, I'm not making this up, this is how NPR Congressional Editor Deirdre Walsh wrote about Kamala Harris- Sherman!
	That's it.
	Kamala Harris speaking in 2020 to the DNC in 2020.
	Speaking, Harris introduced herself and began to prosecute the case against Trump, with some political observers already setting expectations that this national introduction could determine the success or failure of a future Harris presidential campaign.
	Harris faced the test of connecting with people who were taking a first look and energizing those in the Democratic base who have been less than enthusiastic about Biden.
	Harris received national attention for her debate performance during her primary run, but this was the first time many Americans heard about her mother and father, immigrants from India and Jamaica, respectively.
	Well, you know what else?
	She's never given a real convention speech before.
	So that's how much of a bank... That was the backbencher of backbenchers.
	She's never... Like Obama did the 04 speech before he was elected Senate, and then he gets in, and then he's there for two years, then he runs.
	Or excuse me, he runs in 06, and then he's there for two years.
	And then she's never actually given, I guess that means she didn't speak in 08,
	she didn't speak in 12, and she didn't even speak in 16.
	And then 2020, when she's nominated for Vice President, who, as Joe Biden has said, she was there because she was a DEI hire and Amy Klobuchar was his original choice, by the way, that, you know, she spoke to an empty room on like a live stream.
	And this was the first big convention speech she's ever done.
	And she blew it.
	Not if you ask CBS and CNN and MSNBC.
	An inflection point in history.
	That's what she said.
	You know what people say that you're going to remember where you were?
	It's like JFK getting assassinated, 9-11, the moon landing.
	I think they've memory hold that specifically because now we're not going to be able to say that.
	Conservatives do.
	I remember where I was.
	But but those are the type of moments that you remember where you were at and you know for Rachel Maddow to just throw it out like a very subpar speech.
	I'm telling you they are going to go all in.
	All in on getting this woman, this flash-in-the-pan, vapid, substantless woman across the finish line.
	Inflection point history.
	Inflection, okay, like, just to be nerdy for a minute, you know, inflection point is like a moment where, you know, you change direction.
	It's a key...
	It's like Rome becoming a republic.
	It's where there's many possible outcomes.
	It's a high leverage situation.
	The world was headed down a path, and then, out of nowhere, Kamala Harris appeared, and with the power of her rhetoric, diverted the course of history down a different path.
	Kamala Harris just emerged.
	A little bit of hyperbole there, Rachel.
	Calm it down.
	Calm it down, Ms.
	Maddow.
	Yeah, but you're right.
	Go ahead, Charlie.
	No, no, no.
	You finish and then we want to wrap because we've got a big day tomorrow.
	No, I think that's actually a great point, Charlie.
	We actually have a really important rally that we're going to be co-hosting.
	Well, people are already lining up.
	Andrew, do you see this video?
