Charlie Kirk Today | Cliff Maloney: October 30, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | October 30, 2025

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.871
I am blake neff.
00:00:15.271 --> 00:00:16.439
I'm also here with danny phillip,
00:00:16.439 --> 00:00:18.341
One of our friends here on the show.
00:00:18.341 --> 00:00:20.577
We have a lot coming to head today.
00:00:20.577 --> 00:00:23.179
What we want to talk about at the top of this hour is a chart
00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:26.316
That we saw yesterday that was really, really jarring
00:00:26.316 --> 00:00:29.652
And very revealing about the state
00:00:29.652 --> 00:00:32.355
Of modern american politics.
00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:34.190
So to set this up, there's a commentator
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:37.093
Who's, popular on the not even the far left.
00:00:37.093 --> 00:00:40.730
He's kind of the center
00:00:40.730 --> 00:00:41.931
Technocratic left sort of people of silicon valley set.
00:00:41.931 --> 00:00:45.602
Where he said the way democrats should try to win
00:00:45.602 --> 00:00:48.571
Elections is they should try to like america.
00:00:48.571 --> 00:00:52.142
I'm not kidding.
00:00:52.542 --> 00:00:53.743
This is the exact quote everyone talks about.
00:00:53.743 --> 00:00:55.945
The democrats need to moderate on the issues,
00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:58.047
But what i don't see people talking about
00:00:58.047 --> 00:00:59.883
Is democrats need to embrace america as a country.
00:00:59.883 --> 00:01:03.920
Not not a piece of advice you want to be hearing
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.856
From your own guys.
00:01:06.856 --> 00:01:07.690
So we do. we like our own country.
00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:09.759
But the problem is this is actually a real problem.
00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:12.028
And it's a genuine insight for him to observe this.
00:01:12.028 --> 00:01:14.898
Because if you look at the polls, it turns out
00:01:14.898 --> 00:01:18.268
Democrats don't like america that much anymore.
00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:21.437
This is actually a pretty new thing.
00:01:21.437 --> 00:01:23.573
This this came out in response to what noah smith wrote.
00:01:23.573 --> 00:01:27.810
Charles lemon of the manhattan institute.
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:29.746
He highlighted this survey question
00:01:29.746 --> 00:01:31.447
That gallup has been doing for decades.
00:01:31.447 --> 00:01:33.783
For decades, gallup has asked americans
00:01:33.783 --> 00:01:36.286
As one of its regular questions in its surveys,
00:01:36.286 --> 00:01:38.521
How proud are you to be an american?
00:01:38.521 --> 00:01:40.790
Let's put up a 214 b roll here.
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:43.526
And so that's just the question.
00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:45.195
How proud are you to be an american?
00:01:45.195 --> 00:01:46.629
And it's like extremely proud. very proud.
00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:48.831
Not that proud. not proud at all.
00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:51.301
And in the early 2000, there wasn't a big partizan gap
00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:54.270
On this metric.
00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:55.371
In 2001, 90% of republicans said they were very or,
00:01:55.371 --> 00:01:58.975
Extremely proud to be american and democrats were 87%.
00:01:58.975 --> 00:02:02.345
That's statistically basically a tie.
00:02:02.345 --> 00:02:04.747
And, you know, a republican was in the white house.
00:02:04.747 --> 00:02:06.649
The democrats are a bit more down,
00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:08.117
Basically the same level of feeling about america.
00:02:08.117 --> 00:02:11.354
But it started to drop a lot over the 2000s.
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:14.157
By the time obama got elected, democrats
00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:17.527
Have dipped down to like 80%.
00:02:17.527 --> 00:02:18.995
They were mad about the iraq war,
00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:20.396
Mad about gitmo, and republicans
00:02:20.396 --> 00:02:21.864
Were still riding high in the 90s.
00:02:21.864 --> 00:02:24.367
But then what's crazy is after obama
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:27.070
Gets elected, they don't, you know, we don't swap places.
00:02:27.070 --> 00:02:29.872
Republicans build this durable advantage.
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:32.175
You can see they're in how proud they are
00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:34.010
To be an american.
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:35.211
Maybe part of that is michelle obama openly saying she was
00:02:35.211 --> 00:02:38.414
Only proud to be an american
00:02:38.414 --> 00:02:39.682
For the first time in her life when her husband got elected.
00:02:39.682 --> 00:02:42.518
And then trump gets elected.
00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:44.921
You can see on that
00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:46.055
Chart, trump gets elected and the bottom falls out.
00:02:46.055 --> 00:02:48.258
By 2020, only 40% of democrats said they were
00:02:48.258 --> 00:02:51.861
Proud to be american.
00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:53.363
And when biden takes the white house back, that's the thing.
00:02:53.363 --> 00:02:56.132
It doesn't recover.
00:02:56.132 --> 00:02:57.467
You can see the surge, but it's a surge from 40% to 60%.
00:02:57.467 --> 00:03:01.337
And then it drops back again.
00:03:01.337 --> 00:03:03.072
And now we're at the point where it is under 40%.
00:03:03.072 --> 00:03:06.042
Just 36% of democrats say they are proud to be americans.
00:03:06.042 --> 00:03:10.546
That's that's barely a third.
00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:12.782
So this actually matters
00:03:12.782 --> 00:03:14.851
A lot for the state of united of american politics.
00:03:14.851 --> 00:03:17.654
And i think you'd agree, danny, because
00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.589
For for starters, everyone can tell this.
00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:23.159
It's colored the nature of what
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.629
The democratic party is offering to the american people
00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:29.499
And what they have is it's gone from this offer of,
00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:33.269
Here's our plan to make america a better country.
00:03:33.269 --> 00:03:36.873
And it's become much more.
00:03:36.873 --> 00:03:38.408
Here is our plan to punish america for its many sins.
00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:43.179
We saw this in 2020.
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:44.781
The message was america is systemically racist.
00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:47.617
The police are systemically racist.
00:03:47.617 --> 00:03:49.686
Our cities are.
00:03:49.686 --> 00:03:50.987
These are just hives of racism.
00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:52.755
So it's okay to loot businesses, to burn things
00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:55.425
Down, to rip down our statues, to abolish the founders.
00:03:55.425 --> 00:03:58.428
And we're still seeing this today.
00:03:58.428 --> 00:03:59.595
That why did the biden administration
00:03:59.595 --> 00:04:02.598
Essentially revolve around admitting
00:04:02.598 --> 00:04:04.200
As many illegal immigrants as possible?
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:06.369
Well, it revolved around that because when you are not
00:04:06.369 --> 00:04:09.572
Proud to be american, when you don't like america,
00:04:09.572 --> 00:04:11.641
You don't like the american people.
00:04:11.641 --> 00:04:13.309
And by default, you just like anyone
00:04:13.309 --> 00:04:14.944
Who's not american more than american.
00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:16.946
So yes, let's bring in every haitian.
00:04:16.946 --> 00:04:19.649
Let's bring in every person. right?
00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:21.017
So every person from china,
00:04:21.017 --> 00:04:22.251
Every person from the central african republic, let them all
00:04:22.251 --> 00:04:25.655
In, let them immediately go on every welfare program we have.
00:04:25.655 --> 00:04:29.058
Let them stay here even if they commit crimes.
00:04:29.058 --> 00:04:31.694
Because on this fundamental psychological level,
00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:35.131
They've embraced this attitude that america is illegitimate.
00:04:35.131 --> 00:04:37.967
That's what's going on with land acknowledgments.
00:04:37.967 --> 00:04:40.636
It's what's going on with the,
00:04:40.636 --> 00:04:42.071
You know, systemic historic racism attacks you're hearing
00:04:42.071 --> 00:04:45.274
On, you know, america as a country
00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:47.910
And as what we're seeing now with the,
00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:49.212
You know, call it the mamdani message.
00:04:49.212 --> 00:04:50.947
And we talk about mamdani a lot,
00:04:50.947 --> 00:04:52.915
Not because,
00:04:52.915 --> 00:04:53.950
You know, he's going to be president one day,
00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:55.451
But because he's
00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:56.586
So perfectly captures this vibe that has spread on,
00:04:56.586 --> 00:05:00.189
The left.
00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:01.257
You know, what's the real problem of 911?
00:05:01.257 --> 00:05:03.159
The biggest problem of 911 is that it caused americans,
00:05:03.159 --> 00:05:06.396
He says, to give mean looks to this immigrant,
00:05:06.396 --> 00:05:09.599
This foreigner who came into the country,
00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:11.501
Who followed this, you know, alien way of life.
00:05:11.501 --> 00:05:14.670
And so another important thing here is,
00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:19.909
Know, was
00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:21.144
Giving this warning, but it's actually it's
00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:23.413
I don't think they're going to be able to put
00:05:23.413 --> 00:05:25.415
They're not going to be able to close up pandora's box.
00:05:25.415 --> 00:05:27.383
They can't put the genie back in the bottle on this one.
00:05:27.383 --> 00:05:29.786
And it's probably the biggest reason
00:05:29.786 --> 00:05:31.154
We have a strong shot
00:05:31.154 --> 00:05:32.688
In the virginia elections that are happening next week
00:05:32.688 --> 00:05:35.057
In the new jersey elections that are happening this week.
00:05:35.057 --> 00:05:37.193
We're not, you know, we're not blind.
00:05:37.193 --> 00:05:39.128
We know where the incumbent party
00:05:39.128 --> 00:05:40.863
In the white house and we have a hard time
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:43.132
In those midterm elections.
00:05:43.132 --> 00:05:44.367
And this is a sort of mini midterm.
00:05:44.367 --> 00:05:46.669
Virginia especially, should be really hard.
00:05:46.669 --> 00:05:48.404
It's the state that's probably been hit hardest by ddos.
00:05:48.404 --> 00:05:51.240
It's got,
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.408
You know, again, the double incumbency thing going on.
00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:55.711
And yet we have a good shot
00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:57.180
In those races, especially in the ag race,
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.248
Because they're running a guy
00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:00.850
For attorney general who says, i believe it's okay to,
00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:04.287
You know, murder my political opponents.
00:06:04.287 --> 00:06:06.355
And that is directly connected to that, dislike of america
00:06:06.355 --> 00:06:10.893
That they don't really view americans, their fellow
00:06:10.893 --> 00:06:13.996
Americans, as this legitimate group of people.
00:06:13.996 --> 00:06:17.066
There's a line i've seen online
00:06:17.066 --> 00:06:18.868
Where it's, you know, when i say i don't like libs
00:06:18.868 --> 00:06:22.171
Or i hate libs,
00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:23.072
It means i disagree with them,
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:24.207
But i would still rescue them from a flood or a fire.
00:06:24.207 --> 00:06:26.576
And when they say,
00:06:26.576 --> 00:06:27.343
You know,
00:06:27.343 --> 00:06:28.411
Kindness is everything, it means they want to kill
00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:30.012
My entire family.
00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:30.947
And that's what's going on with that guy
00:06:30.947 --> 00:06:32.849
In, i'm totally blanking on his name.
00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:36.185
The ag candidate who shall not be john j.
00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:38.554
Jones j. jones in virginia.
00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:41.157
And i just don't think they're going to be able to fix this.
00:06:41.157 --> 00:06:43.793
And there's another clip that i just made me think of.
00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:46.996
This is zoran mamdani on his, transit reform plan.
00:06:46.996 --> 00:06:50.633
This is, his why?
00:06:51.067 --> 00:06:52.301
He's saying it's important that we get rid of fares
00:06:52.301 --> 00:06:54.437
On the new york city busses.
00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:55.638
Let's play. 238.
00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.640
I think it's one of the key reasons
00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:58.875
Why we have to make busses free
00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:00.476
Is because it reduces the assaults on bus drivers.
00:07:00.476 --> 00:07:03.679
It creates a safer work environment. so.
00:07:03.679 --> 00:07:05.982
So read between the lines there.
00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:07.183
It is important
00:07:07.183 --> 00:07:08.284
That we not have fares on the busses, because then the
00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:11.420
Violent criminals can just get on the bus for free
00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:14.156
And assault
00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:15.391
You, the citizen who doesn't deserve to be safe on your bus.
00:07:15.391 --> 00:07:18.828
What matters is protecting the criminal.
00:07:18.828 --> 00:07:20.997
What matters is protecting
00:07:20.997 --> 00:07:22.498
The person who is harming society.
00:07:22.498 --> 00:07:25.001
This is something charlie talks about
00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:26.636
All the time on this show.
00:07:26.636 --> 00:07:27.870
The celebration parallax. it's you know, it's not happening.
00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:30.373
And it's also good that it's happening.
00:07:30.373 --> 00:07:32.542
We're seeing this element where the left is embracing
00:07:32.542 --> 00:07:35.878
More and more radical and overtly harmful ideologies.
00:07:35.878 --> 00:07:39.015
And i think the root of it is look at the polls.
00:07:39.015 --> 00:07:41.450
They don't actually like america much anymore.
00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:44.787
Email us at freedom at charlie kirk and we'll be right back.
00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:50.026
One out of every five pregnancies in the us
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:54.030
And an abortion.
00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:55.765
Did you know that
00:07:55.765 --> 00:07:56.766
When a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound
00:07:56.766 --> 00:07:58.868
And hears the heartbeat for the first time,
00:07:58.868 --> 00:08:01.237
It increases the chance you'll choose life to 80%.
00:08:01.237 --> 00:08:05.241
An ultrasound is what saves lives.
00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:07.810
They need your help to make free ultrasounds.

Or call 1855601 baby to donate today.
00:08:50.008 --> 00:08:56.359
We're talking right now
00:08:56.859 --> 00:08:57.760
About the polls say that
00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:00.596
The left just doesn't like america a lot.
00:09:01.497 --> 00:09:04.100
And you were showing me another chart.
00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.768
Danny, that in addition to the partizan gap,
00:09:05.768 --> 00:09:09.271
There's also a very.
00:09:09.271 --> 00:09:10.373
And this isn't surprising, a very severe generation
00:09:10.373 --> 00:09:12.908
Gap in how people view america.
00:09:12.908 --> 00:09:14.577
I'm a millennial. i'm an aged millennial.
00:09:14.577 --> 00:09:16.946
You are a member of gen z.
00:09:16.946 --> 00:09:18.447
You were on a college campus, quite recently.
00:09:18.447 --> 00:09:21.550
What was your experience seeing this
00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:23.319
Attitude towards america, especially on the left.
00:09:23.319 --> 00:09:25.287
But even on the right,
00:09:25.287 --> 00:09:26.355
I'd say it's very toxic on both sides right now.
00:09:26.355 --> 00:09:29.692
We'd be tabling and people would try and flip our table.
00:09:29.692 --> 00:09:32.862
Have you seen clips like that elsewhere?
00:09:32.862 --> 00:09:35.097
Just screaming at us.
00:09:35.097 --> 00:09:38.100
You know, telling us to, to die and stuff like that.
00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:40.803
So just very vile stuff.
00:09:40.803 --> 00:09:42.371
And it increased all four years i was there.
00:09:42.371 --> 00:09:44.607
I saw more and more and more of it.
00:09:44.607 --> 00:09:45.875
And especially
00:09:45.875 --> 00:09:47.076
Because this last year i was there was the election year.
00:09:47.076 --> 00:09:49.211
So it was obviously very, intensified.
00:09:49.211 --> 00:09:52.214
But yeah, it keeps going more and more
00:09:52.214 --> 00:09:54.617
And was specifically though,
00:09:54.617 --> 00:09:56.252
Because obviously we've always had
00:09:56.252 --> 00:09:57.520
Political divisions in america.
00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:58.754
We had political divisions
00:09:58.754 --> 00:09:59.889
When both sides did genuinely love the country.
00:09:59.889 --> 00:10:02.758
What standing out is, i do feel there's
00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:05.094
This attitude on the left that america is a country
00:10:05.094 --> 00:10:08.164
To be punished now, not a country.
00:10:08.164 --> 00:10:10.132
I feel like the left at least used to have a good pr pitch of
00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:13.569
This will make everything in america better, whereas now
00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:17.106
You know, ma'am, donny's platform is we're going to soak
00:10:17.106 --> 00:10:20.843
White neighborhoods, for example,
00:10:20.843 --> 00:10:22.411
Because that just means bad, white equals bad,
00:10:22.411 --> 00:10:25.915
And i think to some extent for the left,
00:10:25.915 --> 00:10:28.984
Native born american also equals bad.
00:10:28.984 --> 00:10:31.387
And did you see that on campus? yeah.
00:10:31.387 --> 00:10:33.355
Very anti-white.
00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:34.724
I had heard stories of people in classes
00:10:34.724 --> 00:10:38.461
Having to apologize for being white.
00:10:38.461 --> 00:10:40.396
Really writing essays completely like, apologize
00:10:40.396 --> 00:10:43.866
For your white privilege.
00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:45.000
Things like that.
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.935
I had a friend,
00:10:45.935 --> 00:10:47.136
Who wants to be a teacher, and he has to all the time in
00:10:47.136 --> 00:10:50.439
Classes, write about why it's a problem, that he's white
00:10:50.439 --> 00:10:54.076
And this is who they want.
00:10:54.076 --> 00:10:55.478
They're teaching this to people who want to be teachers
00:10:55.478 --> 00:10:57.813
That are going to be teaching our next generation.
00:10:57.813 --> 00:10:59.548
It's very bad for the country.
00:10:59.548 --> 00:11:01.250
But i also have to say, i,
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:04.453
I'm a little optimistic in that in the long run,
00:11:04.453 --> 00:11:06.856
It is not good for, a party to just so visibly despise it.
00:11:06.856 --> 00:11:12.094
People want to like the country they live in.
00:11:12.094 --> 00:11:13.963
That is an advantage we have.
00:11:13.963 --> 00:11:15.264
Ultimately, people want to love their home,
00:11:15.264 --> 00:11:17.333
And that's a thing that's happening over time.
00:11:17.333 --> 00:11:18.968
We saw it in this last election,
00:11:18.968 --> 00:11:20.569
Like hispanics that democrats assumed
00:11:20.569 --> 00:11:22.772
Would just always be in their court,
00:11:22.772 --> 00:11:24.607
Are actually siding against them
00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:26.108
Because they didn't love the endless flood of legals.
00:11:26.108 --> 00:11:27.977
They didn't love the idea of blowing up america.
00:11:27.977 --> 00:11:30.146
So i'm hopeful on that front.
00:11:30.146 --> 00:11:32.181
And that's why i want to loop in, cliff maloney here,
00:11:32.181 --> 00:11:35.017
Because we'll be talking
00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:36.185
About the elections in virginia and new jersey up ahead.
00:11:36.185 --> 00:11:39.321
But i just wanted to welcome him in.
00:11:39.321 --> 00:11:41.390
I believe he's been listening to what
00:11:41.390 --> 00:11:42.691
We've been talking about here.
00:11:42.691 --> 00:11:44.160
And, cliff, do you feel that that's giving us a shot
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:46.796
That the left's so visible,
00:11:46.796 --> 00:11:49.632
Their visible distaste for america as the country
00:11:49.632 --> 00:11:53.169
Is giving us an opening to, really defend
00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:56.906
Our mandate in this these coming races.
00:11:56.906 --> 00:11:59.809
Yeah.
00:11:59.809 --> 00:12:01.076
And, blake, listen, i've said this to you before on the show.
00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:02.311
You know, i've said it plenty of times.
00:12:02.311 --> 00:12:03.579
I always thought that on november 5th, the day,
00:12:03.579 --> 00:12:06.015
I should say, november 6th of last year,
00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:08.284
The day after the election, i just assumed the pendulum
00:12:08.284 --> 00:12:10.820
Would have to swing,
00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.288
That the left would realize that this radical woke agenda
00:12:12.288 --> 00:12:16.258
Of siding with illegals over american citizens,
00:12:16.258 --> 00:12:19.628
Of pushing men to be in girls
00:12:19.628 --> 00:12:21.096
Sports, girls bathrooms, in girls spaces.
00:12:21.096 --> 00:12:23.833
I just assumed that they would figure it out
00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:25.801
And that they would say, look, we've got to
00:12:25.801 --> 00:12:27.770
We've got to find a different path.
00:12:27.770 --> 00:12:29.171
But somehow the radicals, the activists, the
00:12:29.171 --> 00:12:32.241
The 10% of the radical donors, the 10%
00:12:32.241 --> 00:12:34.977
Of the radical activists, they're driving this party.
00:12:34.977 --> 00:12:38.180
They have no leader.
00:12:38.180 --> 00:12:39.048
They have no vision.
00:12:39.048 --> 00:12:39.915
They offer no solutions.
00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.884
And it is it's an opening for republicans
00:12:41.884 --> 00:12:44.153
Because we're at least coming to the table saying, listen,
00:12:44.153 --> 00:12:46.722
We care about blue collar americans.
00:12:46.722 --> 00:12:48.624
We care about bringing inflation down.
00:12:48.624 --> 00:12:50.292
We care about peace around the world.
00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:52.428
But most importantly, we don't believe in political violence.
00:12:52.428 --> 00:12:55.364
And so is this an opening?
00:12:55.931 --> 00:12:57.233
Absolutely. and i think you're going to see it.
00:12:57.233 --> 00:12:59.101
You know, we'll talk about some of the numbers
00:12:59.101 --> 00:13:00.469
Here, in new jersey and in virginia.
00:13:00.469 --> 00:13:03.105
But we're seeing it live in the field
00:13:03.105 --> 00:13:06.342
That people are moving
00:13:06.342 --> 00:13:07.910
Towards the republicans, especially independents,
00:13:07.910 --> 00:13:10.813
Because of this opening from the radical democrats
00:13:10.813 --> 00:13:13.649
Doubling down
00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:14.717
The b-roll we're showing, they're showing people,
00:13:14.717 --> 00:13:17.286
Of course, burning the american flag.
00:13:17.286 --> 00:13:18.988
And i remember that's one of the last,
00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:21.023
You know, debates we had on thought crime
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:23.058
Before we lost charlie.
00:13:23.058 --> 00:13:24.827
And it was whether flag burning should be illegal or not.
00:13:24.827 --> 00:13:27.930
And i believe one of the points i brought up,
00:13:27.930 --> 00:13:30.866
Maybe it was charlie, one of us.
00:13:30.866 --> 00:13:32.201
I think it came up, though, that
00:13:32.201 --> 00:13:34.603
Free speech issues aside,
00:13:35.170 --> 00:13:36.572
The grossness of burning the american flag aside,
00:13:36.572 --> 00:13:39.375
It kind of is really useful
00:13:39.375 --> 00:13:41.076
If your opponents are just able to
00:13:41.076 --> 00:13:43.913
If they're able to just burn the flag
00:13:43.913 --> 00:13:45.080
Because it's so gross to look at that they do that,
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.883
That when you it's sort of it's allowing your opponent
00:13:47.883 --> 00:13:51.387
To hurt themselves when you allow them to just
00:13:51.387 --> 00:13:53.455
Go out and just say, yeah, i hate america.
00:13:53.455 --> 00:13:55.691
I want to burn america's symbols.
00:13:55.691 --> 00:13:57.426
I want to burn down america itself,
00:13:57.426 --> 00:13:59.595
Rip down its statues, destroy the founders,
00:13:59.595 --> 00:14:02.031
And i think it's so funny that this noah smith guy has
00:14:02.031 --> 00:14:06.535
Come out and he's like, guys, can we can we change that?
00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:09.672
Can we love america now?
00:14:09.672 --> 00:14:11.106
And it's so it's such a centrist technocrat thing
00:14:11.106 --> 00:14:13.509
To believe that you can do that, to think,
00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:16.111
Oh, we can just tell everyone
00:14:16.111 --> 00:14:17.179
We have to love america again and it will happen.
00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.914
No, you guys broke it.
00:14:18.914 --> 00:14:20.482
You messed it up.
00:14:20.482 --> 00:14:21.650
If they go up and say, we love america now
00:14:21.650 --> 00:14:23.819
The crowd is going to boo.
00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:25.587
And that's giving us a lot of hope in these races,
00:14:25.587 --> 00:14:28.490
Which is what we're talking about.
00:14:28.490 --> 00:14:30.025
In the next segment, email us freedom at charlie kirk.
00:14:30.025 --> 00:14:37.366
In genesis
00:14:37.666 --> 00:14:38.567
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:14:38.567 --> 00:14:41.203
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:14:41.203 --> 00:14:44.406
I will bless those who bless you.
00:14:44.406 --> 00:14:47.609
The christian bible tells us
00:14:47.609 --> 00:14:49.144
That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
00:14:49.144 --> 00:14:52.114
The rich olive tree of israel,
00:14:52.114 --> 00:14:54.516
The very foundations of the christian faith,
00:14:54.516 --> 00:14:56.919
The bible and jesus, whom christians call
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.521
The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:14:59.521 --> 00:15:02.992
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:15:02.992 --> 00:15:05.627
Prophetic timeline.
00:15:05.627 --> 00:15:06.996
It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
00:15:06.996 --> 00:15:10.232
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:15:10.232 --> 00:15:13.802
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:15:13.802 --> 00:15:16.105
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:15:16.105 --> 00:15:19.141
The scripture says how good and how
00:15:19.141 --> 00:15:21.577
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
00:15:21.577 --> 00:15:24.880
You can be part of this historic movement
00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:28.417
Of bringing light to our world.

00:15:31.186 --> 00:15:33.322

00:15:33.322 --> 00:15:36.000
J.org today.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:41.064
All right.
00:15:41.364 --> 00:15:42.265
Well as we were saying the clear division
00:15:42.265 --> 00:15:45.668
For this country that the democrat party
00:15:45.668 --> 00:15:47.670
Has is creating political openings for us.
00:15:47.670 --> 00:15:50.106
And we have cliff maloney with us here.
00:15:50.106 --> 00:15:52.375
He's in pennsylvania, which is a state that borders
00:15:52.375 --> 00:15:55.645
New jersey.
00:15:55.645 --> 00:15:56.713
Now, new jersey's been a blue state my entire life.
00:15:56.713 --> 00:16:00.083
But it was surprisingly close to this last election.
00:16:00.083 --> 00:16:02.452
It has a lot of sort of maga inclined people.
00:16:02.452 --> 00:16:05.889
And, you know, it's elected republican governors before,
00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:08.458
And we're hoping it's going to elect one again.
00:16:08.458 --> 00:16:11.694
Just to give you the latest rundown
00:16:11.694 --> 00:16:13.196
In the polls, we have, mikie sherrill is the democrat
00:16:13.196 --> 00:16:17.133
And the latest poll and she has was pulling up 49%
00:16:17.133 --> 00:16:19.903
To 46% for the republican jack, literally.
00:16:19.903 --> 00:16:23.907
Now that is it. that's a deficit.
00:16:23.907 --> 00:16:26.242
But it's closed up a lot in the last few weeks.
00:16:26.242 --> 00:16:29.612
We also have a very interesting, poll
00:16:29.612 --> 00:16:32.182
That we've seen up that's put up 225 there where
00:16:32.182 --> 00:16:35.185
When they asked people, who do you think
00:16:35.185 --> 00:16:37.153
Most of your neighbors or friends are voting for, then
00:16:37.153 --> 00:16:40.723
Should have really got ahead 53% to 47%.
00:16:40.723 --> 00:16:44.360
So want to go over to you, cliff.
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.329
You're actually on the ground there whipping votes.
00:16:46.329 --> 00:16:49.199
What does the evidence say?
00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:51.067
And also, what does the evidence
00:16:51.067 --> 00:16:52.602
You've seen with your own eyes say?
00:16:52.602 --> 00:16:54.838
So to me, you know, what we're seeing on the ground
00:16:54.838 --> 00:16:56.739
Is there's energy for jack and, you know, mikey
00:16:56.739 --> 00:16:59.476
Sure was just the type of candidate
00:16:59.476 --> 00:17:01.044
That she's the kamala harris of new jersey.
00:17:01.044 --> 00:17:03.313
The more time people spend with her, the more time
00:17:03.313 --> 00:17:06.649
People hear her or understand what ideas she's promoting,
00:17:06.649 --> 00:17:10.854
The fewer votes she's going to get.
00:17:10.854 --> 00:17:12.822
So i think we're in a great spot.
00:17:12.822 --> 00:17:14.090
I think the polling shows that, blake,
00:17:14.090 --> 00:17:15.592
If you're right with it, i'd love to kind of go through
00:17:15.592 --> 00:17:17.260
Some of the data
00:17:17.260 --> 00:17:18.328
On the request and 100% give that to us for sure.
00:17:18.328 --> 00:17:21.197
Yeah. so i've got it up here.
00:17:21.197 --> 00:17:22.699
Let me let me give you the rub.
00:17:22.699 --> 00:17:24.100
I just tweeted this out.
00:17:24.100 --> 00:17:25.602
And i do think that this is the entire election,
00:17:25.602 --> 00:17:28.505
180,000 republican voters, registered republican voters
00:17:28.505 --> 00:17:33.643
Have requested a mail in ballot in new jersey.
00:17:33.643 --> 00:17:36.679
And out of them, only 104 have returned home.
00:17:36.679 --> 00:17:40.817
That means and this is for the whole rav
00:17:40.817 --> 00:17:42.886
And the whole charlie kirk show audience.
00:17:42.886 --> 00:17:44.888
There are 80,000 republicans right now
00:17:44.888 --> 00:17:49.058
In the state of new jersey that have a ballot
00:17:49.058 --> 00:17:51.127
Sitting on their dining room table.
00:17:51.127 --> 00:17:53.396
We've got to get every single one of them back.
00:17:53.396 --> 00:17:55.632
That's what we're doing
00:17:55.632 --> 00:17:56.799
At the new jersey chase with our program.
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.668
Nj chase.com.
00:17:58.668 --> 00:18:00.470
If folks want to come knock doors with us or sponsor
00:18:00.470 --> 00:18:02.939
A ballot chaser $175 a day, this is the election.
00:18:02.939 --> 00:18:07.010
Yes, we've got an early vote.
00:18:07.010 --> 00:18:08.611
Yes, we got to have people turnout.
00:18:08.611 --> 00:18:10.180
But if you look at that tweet on the screen,
00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:12.482
That is everything.
00:18:12.482 --> 00:18:13.583
Once again, the numbers are 184,000.
00:18:13.583 --> 00:18:15.952
Requested them, 104 have come back.
00:18:15.952 --> 00:18:18.922
That's roughly 80,000 republicans with a ballot
00:18:18.922 --> 00:18:22.592
Sitting on their dining room table in new jersey.
00:18:22.592 --> 00:18:25.261
That is the election we've got to close that gap.
00:18:25.261 --> 00:18:27.964
Anyone you know in new jersey, make sure
00:18:27.964 --> 00:18:29.666
If they have a ballot, they send it back,
00:18:29.666 --> 00:18:31.534
Make a planned early vote,
00:18:31.534 --> 00:18:33.102
And if not, make sure they show up
00:18:33.102 --> 00:18:34.804
Democrats have touted the biggest,
00:18:34.804 --> 00:18:36.406
One of the biggest victims in the shutdown, allegedly,
00:18:36.406 --> 00:18:38.441
Is that early retirees are paying more for,
00:18:38.441 --> 00:18:42.412
I think, their health insurance premiums under obamacare.
00:18:42.412 --> 00:18:45.248
And it just it filled me with dread.
00:18:45.248 --> 00:18:48.017
That is apparently
00:18:48.017 --> 00:18:49.352
A politically powerful argument because i don't
00:18:49.352 --> 00:18:52.222
I don't want to say anything, you know,
00:18:52.222 --> 00:18:53.923
To those who are out there who support us,
00:18:53.923 --> 00:18:55.558
Who are early retirees
00:18:55.558 --> 00:18:56.859
Who were financially successful enough to do that,
00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:59.195
Good for you.
00:18:59.195 --> 00:19:00.430
But i'm just going to say it.
00:19:00.430 --> 00:19:02.832
It is not early retirees in america that our priority
00:19:02.832 --> 00:19:05.935
Should be on our priority needs,
00:19:05.935 --> 00:19:07.403
Above all, to be on young people
00:19:07.403 --> 00:19:08.905
Who will have
00:19:08.905 --> 00:19:10.006
The next generation, who need to perpetuate american
00:19:10.006 --> 00:19:12.775
Prosperity, american success, american vitality.
00:19:12.775 --> 00:19:15.812
And i do think as republicans, we've got to be really zeroed
00:19:15.812 --> 00:19:19.249
In on that message that we are the people
00:19:19.249 --> 00:19:22.252
Who care about your future.
00:19:22.252 --> 00:19:23.653
We are the ones
00:19:23.653 --> 00:19:24.687
Who will do things to enable you to own a home,
00:19:24.687 --> 00:19:27.190
To have a family, to live in, a country
00:19:27.190 --> 00:19:29.792
That doesn't feel like it hates you all of the time.
00:19:29.792 --> 00:19:32.228
And we've gone to this again and again.
00:19:32.228 --> 00:19:34.397
The fact that democrats so visibly want you to live in
00:19:34.397 --> 00:19:37.400
In filth and in crime and surrounded by foreigners
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.536
Who don't speak like you, who don't like you,
00:19:40.536 --> 00:19:42.505
Who view you as a giant pile of money
00:19:42.505 --> 00:19:44.207
To get there, creating a lot of opportunities for us.
00:19:44.207 --> 00:19:47.176
And we've at times been imperfect
00:19:47.176 --> 00:19:49.012
In capitalizing on that.
00:19:49.012 --> 00:19:50.179
And, you know, that's why,
00:19:50.179 --> 00:19:51.381
You know, zoran mamdani has had the success he's had.
00:19:51.381 --> 00:19:53.716
I think what strategies
00:19:53.716 --> 00:19:54.851
Can we use to engage the vote or engage
00:19:54.851 --> 00:19:56.853
Young voters is turning point usa.
00:19:56.853 --> 00:19:58.454
I think more people can just get involved.
00:19:58.454 --> 00:19:59.989
A turning point,
00:19:59.989 --> 00:20:00.957
If you possibly go to our event tonight,
00:20:00.957 --> 00:20:03.026
If you're watching this online,
00:20:03.026 --> 00:20:04.327
Watch online, have your kids online.
00:20:04.327 --> 00:20:06.996
Yeah.
00:20:07.230 --> 00:20:08.264
I feel like this is turning points needed now
00:20:08.264 --> 00:20:10.400
More than ever.
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.934
So i feel like everybody, can get involved.
00:20:11.934 --> 00:20:15.071
And that is a way that, young voters can stay engaged.
00:20:15.071 --> 00:20:18.941
Knows what charlie main mission was all about.
00:20:18.941 --> 00:20:22.412
Yeah. how about you, cliff?
00:20:22.412 --> 00:20:23.513
You're always doing the get out the vote.
00:20:23.513 --> 00:20:25.081
You're probably speaking to a lot of youngish people.
00:20:25.081 --> 00:20:27.583
We've got about a minute and a half for you here.
00:20:27.583 --> 00:20:29.252
What have you been seeing?
00:20:29.252 --> 00:20:31.254
Yeah, well, i'll echo danny here.
00:20:31.254 --> 00:20:32.522
I mean, first and foremost, get involved with turning point.
00:20:32.522 --> 00:20:34.657
If there's a local chapter, join it.
00:20:34.657 --> 00:20:36.392
If there's not, start it and listen.
00:20:36.392 --> 00:20:38.494
Turning point is not just for students, right?
00:20:38.494 --> 00:20:40.396
I always have to explain to people
00:20:40.396 --> 00:20:41.597
There's local chapters, there's faith chapters.
00:20:41.597 --> 00:20:43.566
You guys have chapters for pretty much
00:20:43.566 --> 00:20:45.001
Any type of individual that's looking to get involved.
00:20:45.001 --> 00:20:47.637
So i just would really encourage you.
00:20:47.637 --> 00:20:49.639
You might be sitting there thinking, well, you know,
00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:51.140
I like watching the show and i like the ideas.
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:54.043
Get involved. right?
00:20:54.043 --> 00:20:55.678
The country needs you
00:20:55.678 --> 00:20:57.413
To step up and get involved with turning point
00:20:57.413 --> 00:21:00.016
And to take real action.
00:21:00.016 --> 00:21:01.451
Look, how do i think we reach young people?
00:21:01.451 --> 00:21:03.753
I think this election in 2024 really proved one thing,
00:21:03.753 --> 00:21:08.191
And that is that authentic city is what matters.
00:21:08.191 --> 00:21:12.261
And i think as republicans, i'm going to be brutally honest,
00:21:12.261 --> 00:21:15.064
The rhinos, the establishment, some of these people
00:21:15.064 --> 00:21:18.534
That have been in this game for way too long,
00:21:18.534 --> 00:21:20.837
They're losing young people and all voters
00:21:20.837 --> 00:21:23.873
Because people can sense they're not authentic.
00:21:23.873 --> 00:21:26.843
Donald trump and jd vance, when you compared
00:21:26.843 --> 00:21:29.379
That to kamala harris and tim walz,
00:21:29.379 --> 00:21:31.881
It was the greatest difference in authenticity.
00:21:31.881 --> 00:21:35.385
You might not like trump, you might not like jd,
00:21:35.385 --> 00:21:37.920
But when they're talking, you know,
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:39.489
They're saying what they believe.
00:21:39.489 --> 00:21:41.190
And when you compare that to the democrat leaders,
00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:43.793
They're just not authentic.
00:21:43.793 --> 00:21:45.161
Now my warning is mamdani, because he is the one guy
00:21:45.161 --> 00:21:48.765
Right now that when he talks, he sounds authentic.
00:21:48.765 --> 00:21:52.301
I don't know how much he believes what he's saying,
00:21:52.301 --> 00:21:54.604
But i think authenticity needs to be what we focus on.
00:21:54.604 --> 00:21:57.940
I'm going to continue to chase ballots and use
00:21:57.940 --> 00:22:00.076
Whatever tactics at the door we need to to win.
00:22:00.076 --> 00:22:02.912
But one get involved.
00:22:02.912 --> 00:22:04.480
The turning point if you want to make a difference.
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:06.349
And two the republicans have a mandate
00:22:06.349 --> 00:22:09.485
To be the most authentic party
00:22:09.485 --> 00:22:12.255
And really to deliver for the american people.
00:22:12.255 --> 00:22:14.257
They do that.
00:22:14.257 --> 00:22:15.458
They're going to have great seats, right? that's right.
00:22:15.458 --> 00:22:17.093
Thank you, cliff, so much for coming on again.
00:22:17.093 --> 00:22:19.095
Get out and vote right now.
00:22:19.095 --> 00:22:20.730
If you are in these states,
00:22:20.730 --> 00:22:24.434
We truly are living in a historic time.
00:22:25.234 --> 00:22:28.104
After 738 days, the 20 living israeli hostages
00:22:28.104 --> 00:22:32.241
Have been released from captivity
00:22:32.241 --> 00:22:34.477
And those who were killed will finally rest in peace near
00:22:34.477 --> 00:22:36.913
Their loved ones. praise god!
00:22:36.913 --> 00:22:38.714
In this time of celebration, our good friends
00:22:38.714 --> 00:22:40.917
At the international fellowship of christians and jews
00:22:40.917 --> 00:22:43.653
Send their deepest gratitude for your prayers
00:22:43.653 --> 00:22:45.988
And unwavering support.
00:22:45.988 --> 00:22:47.256
Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided
00:22:47.256 --> 00:22:49.358
$300 million in emergency aid since october 7th,
00:22:49.358 --> 00:22:53.362
Including millions in direct support for the hostages
00:22:53.362 --> 00:22:56.365
And their families.
00:22:56.365 --> 00:22:57.433
Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.
00:22:57.433 --> 00:23:00.136
Much needs to be done to restore
00:23:00.136 --> 00:23:01.804
And revive these victims of terrorism.
00:23:01.804 --> 00:23:04.106
But that's exactly what the fellowship does.
00:23:04.106 --> 00:23:06.175
For example,
00:23:06.175 --> 00:23:07.076
They're assisting returned hostages,
00:23:07.076 --> 00:23:08.978
Along with their families and friends, with immediate
00:23:08.978 --> 00:23:11.647
Medical, psychological and financial support.
00:23:11.647 --> 00:23:14.383
They're also providing
00:23:14.383 --> 00:23:15.351
Mental health care for israelis of all ages.
00:23:15.351 --> 00:23:18.154
To find out how you can help, visit ifc.org.
00:23:18.154 --> 00:23:22.024
That's ifc.org.
00:23:22.024 --> 00:23:22.024
