While America is rapidly on its way to being great again, in Canada the country is as left-wing — and increasingly authoritarian — as ever. Ezra Levant of Rebel News joins to talk about being arrested for trying to report on a pro-Hamas demonstration. Charlie asks whether it's time for America to use its economic muscle to protect freedom of speech in Canada and Britain. Then, Citizen Kane joins to discuss the early triumphs of the Trump transition period.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

Okay, let's go to one of our favorite guests here, who is the center of some very troubling news.
Ezra Levant, Canadian journalist at rebelnews.com.
That is rebelnews.com.
Ezra, welcome to the program.
Ezra, take some time and educate our audience on what you went through this last weekend.
What is going on in the unfree country of Canada?
Thanks, Charlie.
Great to be back on the show.
And consider Canada a warning to Americans.
If you don't hold tight to your constitutional freedoms, especially your First Amendment, you will go down the path like Canada and the United Kingdom.
So consider us.
A warning from your near future.
I live in a fairly Jewish neighborhood in North Toronto, and I saw online that some pro-Hamas extremists came right into this residential neighborhood.
Like, there's no political targets here.
There's no embassy or anything.
They just came to an area with apartment buildings where Jews live.
And they recreated the final moments of Yahya Sinwar.
That's the now deceased leader of the Hamas terrorist group.
So they set up this whole ornate display.
It was really gross and I thought, wow, that's crazy.
It would be like someone setting up a Hitler display or, you know, frankly burning, the KKK burning across outside a...
A black church.
So I went down there because I'm a journalist.
I run Rebel News.
And I went in pretty low key.
I just wanted to take a photograph of this insane sort of display.
And the police came up to me and said, you're not allowed to do that.
I said, well, I live here.
I'm a citizen.
I'm a neighbor.
I'm on the public sidewalk.
I'm not even talking to these Hamas folks.
I'm just taking a photo.
And the police sort of strong-armed me away.
Now, that bothered me, but I wasn't going to do anything about it.
But another cop came up and said, your mere presence here, just by being here, It's illegal because it's, quote, causing a disturbance and inciting the crowd.
And you can see there's some activists behind the cops there waving Palestinian flags.
They weren't criticizing me as a journalist.
They were criticizing me as a Jew.
They were talking about the Intifada and they were talking about genocide and stuff.
I'm a free speech absolutist, by the way.
I mean, I find that sort of gross.
But the cops were basically saying...
You cannot stand on the street because these Jew-haters will be triggered.
And I said, well, I'm sorry, they don't have a veto over my civil rights.
Well, these cops took the path of least resistance.
They knew it was easier to arrest me because I wouldn't riot.
So they arrested me, handcuffed me, took me to jail.
And they were acting as the concierge for these pro-Hamas extremists right in the middle of a Jewish neighborhood.
And what gets me is...
Since when do they run errands for the terrorists?
If they're law enforcement officers, enforce the law.
Let me stand on a sidewalk.
And if these thugs really are going to hurt me, don't arrest me.
Protect me or arrest them.
And by the way, a lot of them are foreign nationals who have no legal right to even be in Canada.
So that's what happened to me yesterday.
I finally did get out of jail.
And by the way, the police at the jail were quite nice to me.
I think they realized this was BS. But this has happened five times in 2024 to one of our other journalists.
So this is now a half a dozen times journalists have been arrested simply for doing journalism in Canada.
Beware, Americans.
We are a warning about your future.
So I just, Ezra, just re-educate the audience.
I guess you don't have a First Amendment at all, nor did you.
You had your charter or declaration of rights, but it means absolutely nothing.
And just so we are clear, you are doing an act of journalism.
Yes, correct?
This was an act of journalism?
Yeah, that's right.
That's what I do full-time.
It happened to me in my neighborhood, so it was very quick for me to go over there.
The police know us because we have...
I've interacted with many of them before.
There was this one moment where I said to one of the senior cops, I said, you're not the law.
He said, yes, I am the law.
I said, no, you're a servant of the law.
Charlie, we do have a watered-down version of your First Amendment.
It's Section 2B of our charter, and it specifically protects the free press, and it looks good on paper.
But it has never been interpreted as boldly as the American First Amendment.
But still, in Canada, what this cop did to me was illegal.
It violated my rights.
Trouble is, I've got to now go to court, sue the police, and maybe in two years' time, I'll have my hearing.
In the meantime, like I say, this is the sixth time they've simply snatched our reporters off the street.
In this case, it was me.
And they interfere with us because by the time justice catches up to them, Charlie, it's one, two, three years into the future.
Believe it or not, one of our reporters was actually shot by a Mountie during the trucker convoy, not with a bullet, but with a riot gun.
And she was injured and the police absolutely targeted her.
That was the only shooting in the entire, that was the only act of violence in the entire trucker convoy was a cop shooting a rebel news reporter, which is astonishing because, So we're still in court over that.
Justice up here is very slow.
And in the meantime, the cops do what they want.
And unfortunately, they become woke.
Especially the Mounties and the Toronto Police Service.
They're run...
I think a lot of the beat cops are pretty good people.
And they don't understand this new two-tier policing.
They don't understand why they have to be concierges for these pro-mas folks.
There was actually another...
Pro-Hamas protest in Toronto that they blocked off a road into a residential neighborhood.
They blocked it.
They stopped Jews from coming and going to their homes.
And what did the police do?
You're going to find this astonishing, Charlie.
They brought coffee and donuts to the Hamas blockade to keep them warm because it was chilly out.
The police literally brought coffee and donuts to these pro-Hamas thugs.
And I say pro-Hamas because they are.
They...
Like they're reenacting these terrorist moments.
They're shouting for death to the Jews.
And what gets me is the cops said, because you're upsetting them, your presence here is illegal.
I don't live in Gaza.
I live in Canada.
And unfortunately, the cops are acting like Sharia police instead of Canadian police, Charlie.
So I just want to reiterate this.
If a reporter is arrested in Russia, it makes international news because Russia is super unfree and we're supposed to hate Russia.
I don't like Russia.
However, you get arrested in Canada and it's just kind of an eye roll.
I mean, this is getting worse.
It's not getting better.
So President Trump is sworn in on January the 20th.
If this continues, President Trump should just tell Canada, I'm doing a 10% tariff on all lumber coming into America.
I mean, at some point, we need to use the muscle of the United States of America, or else Canada will become East Germany.
Is that an exaggeration, Ezra?
Well, look at the United Kingdom, because they're further down the path than we are.
They are jailing dozens of people for Twitter comments.
I was released within a couple hours, Charlie, and they declined to press charges.
I think they just wanted to humiliate me and handcuff me in public and get me out of there.
So the UK is far worse.
Now, I'm pleased to say...
Perhaps not Donald Trump himself, but Elon Musk certainly, who is in a way a proxy for Trump, has just been smashing their censorship.
And I think it's got their attention.
I would love it if people around the world said, I mean, obviously I support Canadian jobs and it would hurt Canada if there were tariffs, but I think just speaking clearly about the moral importance of freedom and say, look, Canada and America are friends, but we are disappointed and concerned to see Canada...
We're deleting its historic freedom.
We used to be just as free as you.
200 years ago, we were actually, I mean, we were close cousins.
There's no two countries that are closer than Canada and America.
And yes, we don't support freedom as strongly as you, and it's a shame.
But I think just the moral authority of the president or an ambassador or a secretary of state...
And I don't know if the reason has to be a threat there.
I think just if Canadians heard from an outside force saying, guys, we're starting to really worry about you.
Normally we put Canada in the safe and freeze.
Like this is Turkey.
This is Iran.
This is China.
This is North Korea.
Like you say, it's Russia.
But Canada?
And I think simply an American friend sort of shaking us and saying, what are you doing?
Wake up.
I want to talk about the state of Canadian politics because, I mean, I've talked to a lot of people in the great Alberta from Calgary or Edmonton, and they are sick of this stuff.

Sorry, you were saying, Ezra, we cut you off here.
Trudeau takes a lot of the blame for this because he has really gone to war against freedom of the press.
On the one hand, he subsidizes what I call the regime media.
Most Canadian journalists now work for the government.
Our state broadcaster called the CBC. It's larger than all other media combined.
So he's, on the one hand, he's got the carrot that he tempts the media to be, you know, leftists like him.
On the other hand, he has a stick.
He's bringing in a brutal censorship law that would actually include, I know this is sort of crazy to hear, life in prison for a standalone hate crime, for hate speech.
He seeks to censor the internet because he's deeply unpopular.
Like any tyrant, he wants to squelch opposition.
But you can't put it all at Trudeau's feet.
I think mass immigration has changed Canada's belief in freedom because now we've imported millions of people who come from countries where they don't value freedom of speech.
And frankly, we brought in a lot of people who are anti-Semitic, anti-Western, burn Canadian flags just like they burn American flags.
And when you have millions of people brought in through mass immigration who actually hate the West, you know, the idea of censoring dissent is ridiculous.
I'm just worried about Canada's future, and that's why I say to Americans, seal your borders, shore up your constitutional freedoms, or you will become like us, or God forbid the UK. Now, you could always turn things around.
Look at how close you guys came on November 5th.
Like, that was...
You could have taken the wrong path there.
So there's always hope.
But in Canada, things are pretty bad, Charlie.
They're dismal.
Just from a morale standpoint, what did you think when President Trump was elected?
Did it give you a little shot in the arm, a little bit extra hope?
It did, because first of all, Canada is probably the one country in the world most affected by the U.S.
Now, it gave me a worry, too, Charlie, because I don't know if you thought about this.
If Trump is going to do a mass deportation of illegals, including criminal illegals, where are they going to go?
Now, they might be deported.
They might try and hide.
But we have the longest undefended border in the world between you and us.
So it wouldn't surprise me if thousands, maybe tens or hundreds of thousands of illegals simply walk into Canada, say they're refugees from the evil Donald Trump.
So I'm worried that, you know, your problem walking north into our country.
But other than that, I'm deeply relieved by Trump's victory.
I think it's going to be a force for freedom and peace around the world.
And obviously that's not, I mean, I understand each nation has to look after their own interests, but understand being next to America, it's like we're the mouse and you're the elephant.
So anything that makes America stronger, Always.
All right, just two minutes here.
Let's put 25 up on screen.
This shows that the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Polivare, with 41.2%.
Ezra, when are your elections?
Is Trudeau running again?
Do a two-minute, as quick as you can, Ezra, summary for Americans of what's going on in Canada politically.
Trudeau is deeply despised.
He's in the low 20% in the polls, but he has this nasty coalition with the socialists keeping him in power.
There's a great conservative opposition leader named Pierre Polyev, very principled, and he's led the polls for a year, but unfortunately the election's probably a year away.
I hope that that undoes some of the damage that Trudeau has done.
So, like I say, hope is around the corner, but in the meantime it's pretty bleak.
It can be called earlier, but it's most likely going to be October 2025. So we have one more year under Trudeau.
And boy, are we looking forward to throwing him out.
And is there any way he could form a government, do a thing like France did, where he could perform poorly, however, cut a deal with the radicals?
Is that conceivable?
He already did cut that deal, and that's how he's in power now.
He is a minority government, but the official socialist party called the NDP is propping him up.
So he did cut that deal, and that's how he's holding on to power.
But that's going to expire next October.
Ezra, you're a great man.
And as soon as President Trump gets sworn in, I think Canada is going to be a little less aggressive towards its citizens because these are human rights violations.
And if we as Americans go around and we lecture Russia and we go lecture the third world, well, maybe we should lecture Canada and be willing to use tariffs to make sure that reporters aren't arrested in Canada.
Thank you so much, Ezra.
God bless you.
Thanks, Charlie.
Canada is what America would have become if Kamala Harris would have won.
That is how high the stakes were.
So thank the Lord we have another chance at freedom.
We all dodged a bullet.
President Trump first and then the nation.

Joining us now is Citizen Kane from Citizen Free Press.
So much to go over.
Mr. Kane, welcome to the program.
How are we doing?
Doing great, Charlie.
I'm going to file an official complaint, though.
I think we forgot it's Thanksgiving week and we're not supposed to work this hard.
Oh, you know...
I have not stopped since January of 2021. And these last couple weeks, I've been working my tail off just trying to help with transition and stuff here in Palm Beach.
It is non-stop, Kane.
Non-stop, literally.
And we're doing the best we can.
And Cain, you got to shut down the website on Thanksgiving.
You just got to say no posting.
Enjoy some turkey.
Cain, you have earned it.
And we won, Mr. Cain.
Still, it has not hit.
Yeah, it's only people don't realize it's only been three weeks because we get off, you know, you celebrate for about two hours and then you figure out what you have to do next.
And for you, that was heading to Palm Beach.
I know, you know, readers or listeners probably know from our previous discussions that sometimes I text you late at night.
So I forgot that Charlie wasn't in Arizona on Friday, and I think I texted him around 2 a.m., and he was probably dead asleep in Palm Beach because he's been working down there.
There will be no shutdown of the stack, though, Charlie.
It's going to be eight years, every single day for eight years in May.
Amazing.
So there will probably be a hundred.
If people are bored on Thanksgiving Day, there will be a hundred new headlines in the stack.
I'll figure out how to do it.
I love it.
So, Cain, let's go through some of the top news items here.
People are overwhelmingly approving of the Trump transition.
This has been a top story at citizenfreepress.com.
Cain, walk us through it.
Yeah, I thought that was nice.
I posted that yesterday afternoon and moved it back to the stack here, to the top of the stack about 30 minutes ago.
There haven't been many polls on the sort of post-transition effort.
Obviously, all the pollsters, at least the mainstream ones, are in shock that, once again, Trump was plus three or plus four compared to their numbers, and they've all stayed quiet.
But we had a Harvard Harris poll last week, which I'm sure you saw on the stack that showed him at 54 percent approval in the transition.
And that story is still in there.
If people want to search for Harvard Harris, there's a lot of good data in that poll about sort of exit exit poll data that hasn't been covered everywhere else.
But regarding the CBS poll, yeah, 59 percent approve of the Trump transition and approve of his cabinet picks versus only 41 percent disapproval.
So that's a really good number, especially coming from CBS, because, you know, there's going to be some distortion in who they contact and likely contact more Democrats for that.
So, you know, you and I and Andrew, and we're all buried in the weeds every day, right, of the transition going through every step.
And we sort of, we forget to understand that 90% of voters don't pay attention like we do every day.
They're not following the twists and turns.
And so it's nice to sort of get an upper-level view of how this, you know, 10% who are committed to news, but the other 90% who aren't paying that much attention, that they have such a positive view of Trump's picks.
And I, you know, I'll close as I throw it back to you.
One of the things, obviously, you're part of it, so you're seeing it, but Trump is taking a completely different approach this time.
He's realized that it doesn't take a brain surgeon, no offense to Dr. Ben Carson, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to run these cabinet agencies.
And what is more important for the success of MAGA is that loyalty and people who believe in MAGA completely and haven't been brought in like they were in 2016 by Reince Priebus, these are people who are loyalists to Trump and it's going to make the first two years, the whole four years, really, really smooth.
Yeah, and I'll just say this, Cain, that the team that Trump has around him, let's just go to the picks, Cain.
Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth.
Could we have dreamed of such a good cabinet, Mr. Cain?
Never.
Never.
I didn't give myself enough time to really think about who was coming other than the big picks, but I've been blown away almost every single day.
And names that aren't even talked about, you know, people inside the CDC. We still don't have anyone running NIH. There's been a rumor that the Great Barrington Declaration, Dr. J from Stanford, is being considered for that.
So there's just, you know, and then COVID truth teller, Dr. Marty McCurry from Johns Hopkins, running the FDA. So it's really been the most interesting transition that I've, and the most exciting transition that I've ever witnessed.
I'm a bit older.
I've seen a lot of these.
And And it's, you know, the excitement over Kennedy is sort of its own thing.
Like, you see so many independents and Democrats involved and so many people who are fed up with big pharma.
And it's just incredibly exciting.
I haven't There's been no experience for me before, like these last three weeks.
And, you know, inauguration can't get here soon enough.
We really can't wait to see this Trump team in action.
And I'm pumped, dude.
I'm absolutely pumped.
Yeah, so Cain, I want to go through also this element here.
And what do you think is the likelihood of all of these picks being confirmed?
Let's go one by one.
Bobby, Tulsi, Hegseth, the three more lively ones.
Okay, I think Kennedy gets...
Look, all of these hearings are going to be really, really, really, really tough.
What people forget, remember how all the certain hearings, especially the Jeff Sessions hearing in 2017, they were broadcast online.
On daytime television, ABC, CBS, and NBC, they all suspended.
Remember, for hours, and I think we're going to see the same thing.
This isn't just going to be on cable news.
That for Kennedy, for Pete Hegseth, for Tulsi, for those names, this is going to be a show.
And Democrats, the resistance is going to try to do everything they can.
And it's going to be ugly, but I believe they're going to be, I believe they're going to be Confirmed.
All three.
I think Kennedy's going to get it.
I think Tulsi's going to get it.
And Hegseth, I really believe, is going to be the toughest one.
I'm not sure if that's obvious.
Why do you think that?
Is that just because of all the alleged personal drama?
Okay.
Yeah.
The personal stuff, I just think that that's going to make the most compelling television for Democrats, and you're going to have Maisie Hirono, who's already let everyone know that it's not going to happen over her dead body.
I still think that Trump has the capital to get Hegseth.
Hold that thought.
Yeah, I agree.
Let's play cut four.
Senator Rand Paul on Pete Hegseth.
Play cut four.
Given that, for example, the Pentagon pick hasn't ever managed a large corporation or held a high rank in the military, do you think he can run the Pentagon?
Yes, and I think the vast majority of people, if you poll them, will say that they don't think people should be picked based on religion or gender or sexuality.
They want people to be picked on merit.
And one of Pete Heggs' criticisms of our Pentagon is that we've gone away from merit and gone more towards racial characteristics.
And so I think that the people are and would be overwhelmingly in favor of someone who's going to base hiring on merit, not on racial characteristics.
Kane, that's a great answer from Senator Rand Paul.
It's going to be a fight though.
It's going to be a fight.
I now want to play this one about Tulsi and then get your reaction.
This is Nikki Haley coming out against Tulsi Gabbard at DNI. This is a sick lie from the pit of hell.
Play cut seven.
This is not a place for a Russian-Iranian-Syrian-Chinese sympathizer.
DNI has to analyze real threats.
Are we comfortable with someone like that at the top of our National Intelligence Agency?
Kane, your reaction to Ms. Haley?
Yeah.
Does anyone listen to Nikki Haley anymore, except for CBS News, except for the fake media?
They trot her out.
She's the new Liz Cheney.
That's insane.
You know, it shows that Nikki Haley follows fake news and doesn't follow stories out.
Syrian sympathizer.
That's a ridiculous comment.
Or Bashar al-Assad sympathizer.
That's a ridiculous comment.
I honestly don't believe Nikki Haley has credibility.
I think Tulsi Gabbard, it's not going to be an easy sale, but I think she's going to make it through.
When you were talking about, you played that clip on Hegseth, and that was a nice comment from Rand Paul.
Look, we may lose Murkowski.
We may lose Susan Collins.
But we've got 51 plus J.D. Vance after those two.
So though it's going to be brutal, though it's going to be on national TV, and it's going to be tough for Pete to have to deal with this stuff, but I think that Trump has the political capital.
I think the senators understand.
One of the points we've been driving home is that these senators in red states did not win on their own.
They won on the coattails of Trump, coattails that we almost haven't seen before.
I mean, Trump...
Trump, even in Ohio and Bernie Moreno, Trump was plus five over how Bernie did versus Sherrod Brown.
I mean, all of these senators, they owe their elections that they've had in the past and the ones that they may have in 2026 with the new map, that they're going to owe it to President Trump.
And so I honestly believe he has the capital to get all three of them through.
But going back to Nikki, that comment should be a disqualifying comment for anyone to take her seriously on any foreign policy.
Yeah, and it just...
I don't know who takes her seriously, too, but they're continuing to peddle this Russian hoax against Tulsi Gabbard.
And it's very important to note that Hillary Clinton lied about Trump being a Russian agent, and now they're lying about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian agent.
I think she's going to have a tough confirmation fight, too, Kane.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think that some of these neocons are not going to like that Tulsi Gabbard is going to be DNI director...
But what is your message then to Cain?
What is the CFP message to Republicans, I should say, that might stand in the way of Trump's picks?
45 seconds Cain in this segment.
We'll find primary opponents and we'll throw you out of office.
We want this cabinet.
Do not stand in the president's way.
The first Republican to get the popular vote victory since Bush, I believe.
And it's so much more difficult than it was for Bush.
I mean, Trump's performance, his ability to grow his...
Grow his electorate from 2016 to 2020 and now with another 4 million more votes in 2024. I think Republican senators have to understand we are paying attention.
We will get rid of you and we won't show mercy.

All right, Cain, I want to ask you about the state of the Democrat Party.
What can we expect next?
Because the communists, they're coming back.
They're going to march forward.
They're going to try to subvert.
They're going to try to attack.
You read the news more so than even me, Mr. Cain, and you internalize it.
And Cain deserves so much credit.
He deserves so much credit because he saw all the indictments, the lawfare, and the Trump win ahead of anybody else.
Cain, what is the next move from the enemy?
Yeah, those are kind words, Charlie.
You know, I wanted to add from my previous answer before I get to the Democrat Party.
You were asking about the message that we need to send to senators who might be standing in the way.
And I forgot to mention a huge thing that T.P., You and Turning Point have announced, you know, I want people to be prepared.
Charlie talked about the biggest outside tour that Turning Point has ever done to put pressure in red states on senators who might be thinking about voting against Trump nominees.
So I want certain senators to keep that in mind, that what Turning Point has been able to build, as well as your TV show and War Room and Citizen Free Press and No, to put this army into action and we're going to make your life and your job difficult.
So I want these Republican senators to remember that.
So as we look at the Democrat Party, if you wanted to add something there, you can interrupt me.
But no, keep going.
As we look at the Democratic Party.
Okay.
As we look at the Democrat Party, there's a story near the top of the stack today where Kamala is already telling her staff not to stray too far because she's not ruling out a run again in 2028, where, again, she will probably be the first candidate removed after the – or to drop out after the Iowa primary.
People probably remember it was the great irony of Kamala being installed in the post-Biden coup is that she was the first – actually the least popular Democrat candidate.
But she's telling her staff don't stray far.
I may still run again.
And if not, I may run to replace Gavin Newsom as governor of California.
And that would be obviously delicious irony, especially if he were to become the Democrat nominee in 2028.
The party is going to regroup, as you know.
What I think is exciting is this idea, right?
We always – you always lose the first midterm of a new presidency.
So let's make our goal for the next two years to not allow that to happen.
You guys, I watched – your crew did a thing a couple of weeks ago on the 2026 map.
And actually, even though Republicans have more states to defend than Democrats, it actually looks pretty good for Republicans.
And I think we may even gain a seat or two in the Senate in 2026. The House will be a battle.
It's not as bad as people think, actually.
It's not as bad as people think.
It really isn't.
Because of the gains we made in 2024, Senator Daines is saying that we very well might control the Senate for a decade.
And that would be fantastic.
I mean, imagine taking our lead from 53 to 55 next time.
So the battle will probably be in the house.
But I think, you know, you and I both, we're both sports guys.
We like goals.
We like to work towards something.
And so I'd like us to work towards not losing the house and gaining more in the house so that Trump's second two years can be a continuation of the blitzkrieg of these first two years.
But kind of wrapping up your question, you know, it's likely Shapiro or Gavin Newsom.
Those names sort of rise to the top.
The Democrat Party is not dead.
We only won by a percent or two in all these swing states, and we won because of turnout.
Let's not forget, this was sort of a validation of everything that Turning Point was.
Worked on and getting, you know, outsourcing the RNC not handling the get-out-the-vote efforts and pushing that off on outside organizations like TP. And we came through, Charlie.
You did it.
People don't really understand.
In fact, I've never really even talked to you about this.
But your butt was on the line to a certain extent in this election.
You had made some, you know, with your youthful Midwest energy, you made some big promises.
And brother, you deliver.
Turning Point delivered.
We did this.
Scott Pressler delivered.
So, I'll throw it back with that.
The Democrats can read to Valley 1. Yeah, go ahead.
Well, we're out of time, Cain, and you had our back 100%.
And the whole ecosystem of media doubted us, and they were setting us up for failure.
Turns out, we shocked the world.
And by the way, where are all the exposing stories of Kamala Harris' fake ground game?
Oh, it doesn't exist.
Got it.
Well, we chased the historic number of ballots.
we were able to chase low propensity voters, register them and win the youth vote in some of the battleground states.
