The Midterm Panic & Charlie Kirk's Legacy: A Turning Point That Split The Right. | Ep 409

All right, you guys, welcome in. Welcome. in. Welcome in. Um, we got a big. election night show tonight. Going to. cover a lot of different issues about. all the excuses that are being made for. why the Republicans are probably. expected to underperform tonight. If you. followed me very long, you know I do. election night shows. Uh, oftentimes. I'll stay on the air deep into the night. and kind of do analysis as the night. goes on. Not going to do that here. tonight obviously, but I do want to give. you sort of a preview and go through.

some of the history of how we got where. we are tonight, starting with the 2024. election and working our way forward. So, we'll do all that and more coming up. next on Candace. So there's a conventional wisdom that.

takes place every. every uh four years. So we have the. presidential elections that take place. every four years and then in between the. presidential elections there's a midterm. election. That's what's happening. tonight. We'll get midterm actually it's. been going on for like a month. Everybody's early voting all over the. country but historically there was just. a single election day. I want to go back. over and challenge maybe a little bit of. that conventional wisdom because the. conventional wisdom is that the. president's party always loses the.

midterms. That's just conventional. wisdom. Everybody I've heard it a. million times this week. Well, the. presidential party always loses the. midterm elections, so we anticipate. Republicans will lose. The question is. how much will they lose? But go back in. history and ask yourself, is that really. true? You don't have to go back very. far. Um, the last two elections, the. last two midterm elections, go back to. the first Trump administration, what I. call Trump 1.0. Yes, the Democrats gained 40 seats in. the United States House of. Representatives. But the Republican.

party, the party of President Trump, actually gained two Senate seats that. year. They didn't get completely wiped. out. They maintained control and. everything went forward. Go back to 2022. under Democrat President Joe Biden. The. Republican party did gain a small number. of seats in the US House. They gained. nine. But the Democrats actually gained. one seat in the Senate. And so where. does this conventional wisdom come from? Why have we heard it so much today? I. think it's expectation setting. I think.

there's a lot of expectation setting. going into tonight's election. Republicans know they're likely to get. wiped out. They've had a very poor. election season. They've had a horrific. first two years of Donald J. Trump's. presidency. So, like a Super Bowl or World Series or. even a little league tournament, somebody has to win and somebody has to. lose. And if you think you know who's. going to lose up front, then you start. making your excuses. I want to go. through some of those excuses tonight. because rarely is there a single reason.

or any kind of broad agreement on why. somebody loses an election. But. everybody has an excuse. And that's. where the money's made in politics. It's. not about winning elections. Anybody can. go in and win an election and then. everybody wants a little piece of the. credit. Those in power will tell you that's. what's important, winning elections. But. what these monsters, what these horrific. people in the elitist class, our ruling. class, what they really want is someone. to come up with a good reason they lost. Republicans, Republicans, excuse me,

have historically been a miserable. majority party. They've just been. terrible at it. We've given them. majority several times in the last. couple of decades and they frankly just. don't do what they say they're going to. do. They don't do what they campaigned. on doing. And you don't have to go very. far back to realize it's true. When. Republicans held the majorities in the. Congress and in the White House, they. these are some of the things they. promised us they would do the last few. years. They said they would build the.

wall. There's no wall. You can look you. can walk across the border. People still. walk across the border. They tell us, "Well, we don't need a wall because. we've stopped everybody." Well, how do. you know we've stopped everybody? Well, we're not arresting anybody. Well, how. do we know that you're not just letting. people buy and not arresting them and. telling us that we don't need a wall? You promised a wall. There's no wall. We've been promised a wall for 10 years. There's no wall. Then you told us you. were going to deport all the illegals. Over the wall. Well, there's no wall to. go over. But they told us they're going. to deport all the illegals. They they.

they tried maybe a few people here and. there and then they largely gave up on. it. I think at one point Biden was. outpacing the Trump administration on. deporting illegals. Do you remember uh. not too terribly long ago, Republicans. had both the House, the Senate, and the. White House during the first Trump. administration, and they all campaigned. on a singular promise to repeal. Obamacare. Well, guess what? We still have. Obamacare. It did not get repealed. Uh. John McCain famously put his thumbs down.

for his vote before he was mercifully. taken from us to end the effort to. repeal Obamacare. Anybody who's tried to. sign up for health insurance recently. understands what a disaster Obamacare. has been. It's expensive. It doesn't. cover very much. It's just not very good. for the average everyday working person. They also told us they were going to end. unnecessary foreign wars. Trump told us he was going to end the. Iran uh the Ukrainian war before he even. took office. Uh news flash, it's still.

going on today. They also told us they. weren't going to start any new. unnecessary foreign wars. Yet here we. are on the eve of some really bellose. language in Iran in a war that's been. going on for months. There is, you know, maybe a tenative ceasefire, maybe some. things. But even just yesterday or the. day before, we had some activity on the. Iranian warf frontont. And if you. remember Tucker Carlson's tweet, we'll. reference it here in a moment. We might. have some real advancements on the Iran.

war coming up here in the next few days, maybe a few weeks. They also told us. they were going to cut taxes for. everybody. This is a common thing. Republicans tell us. Oh, we're going to. cut taxes for everyone. Well, you've had. the House, you've had the Senate, you've. had the White House. Where are the tax. cuts? Where are the tax cuts? For that. matter, isn't being a Republican about. reducing spending? Isn't that kind of a. core tenant of being Republican? We're. going to reduce spending. Spending's out. of control. The swamp is spending. We. just passed a $1.5 trillion defense.

budget. We're running deficits. They. always tell us they're going to cut the. deficits. No deficit cuts on the. horizon. And it is on and on and on and. on. The Republicans have had control of. both houses of Congress and the. presidency for the last two years. And. they've done none of it. They've done. none of it. They never do. That's the. problem with the Republican party. They. love being out of power because why? It's easy to raise money and run for an. election when you're out of power. When.

you're in the minority, you have no. power to do anything. So, you can say. absolutely anything. If you're out of. power, guess what? We're going to build. a wall. We're going to repeal Obamacare. We're going to cut the deficit. We're. going to cut spending. We're going to. end these wars. Give them the keys to. the kingdom. And what do they do? Nothing. They do nothing. They do. absolutely nothing. They can't do anything and their. messaging is completely opposed to the. elites and billionaire donor class who. funds their election, which is why they. never do anything. The 2026 election is.

no different. Republicans have nothing. to run on right now because they haven't. done anything. And so they're looking. for someone to blame. And that's what we're going to talk. about tonight cuz they're looking for. someone to blame. So, who can you blame. when you have been so horrific? When you. have been so lousy at governing for the. last two years and you're begging us to. give you two more years, who can you. blame? Well, go back to the death of Charlie Kirk. Go.

back to the death of Charlie Kirk. because I feel like that's where the. wheels started coming off. If you go. back to September 10th of 2025, we were nine months or so, eight or nine. months into the Trump administration. There was really no talk of the midterm. elections. There was really no talk of. much of anything. The Republicans were. sort of kumbayawying around and sort of. waiting for all the things we've been. promised. And then Charlie Kirk passes away. Charlie Kirk dies and all of a sudden we.

start getting a hint of the messaging. that was supposed to come out of the. death of Charlie Kirk. The first time we. hear a piece of this messaging is. actually at the memorial for Charlie. Kirk. We hear it out of the mouth of his. wife, Erica Kirk. And this is what it. sounded like. >> after Charlie's assassination. We didn't. see violence. We didn't see rioting.

We didn't see revolution. Instead, we saw what my husband always. prayed he would see in this country. We. saw revival. >> And that's what we're going to talk. about tonight. Coming up next. Oh, wait. I already do the Candace. thing.

I can't hear you if you're saying so. Okay, sorry. That's not what we're going. to talk about next. That's what we're. going to talk about right now because. we've already done the open. All right. I don't know why I just had this like. flash of horror that I hadn't done it. yet. So, Erica Kirk comes out and she. gives us a hint of where they're headed. You know where they're headed? They're. headed to the fact that they're going to. blame. us because they wanted a revival. They. wanted a Republican unification around. Charlie Kirk. She wasn't the only one. saying it. We got a headline out of the.

Wall Street Journal right here. A. splinter GOP shows signs of unity in the. wake of Charlie Kirk's killing. Oh, we. got signs of unity. This is very early. on, September 21st. That was again the. date of the memorial. Now, go to the Fox. headline. We have Utah leaders urging. unity following Charlie Kirk's. assassination. That's September 13th. That's even before the memorial. And. what they're and if you go in and read. that article, it's saying history will. dictate if this is a turning point for. our country, but every single one of us.

gets to choose right now if this is a. turning point for us. That's a quote. from Governor Cox. They're they're. they're appropriating the phrase turning. point and they're telling us that it's. up to us. You better fall in wake. You. better fall in the wake. You better fall. in line. This is an opportunity for. unity and we're going to ride this unity. on the back of a dead Charlie Kirk. It. was kind of gross. It was kind of gross. How long did it last? Not very long. If. we're being honest, it did not last very.

long. Why? Because immediately there. were all these questions about what. happened to Charlie Kirk. There was all. this weirdness coming out of Turning. Point and everybody looked around and. said, "Hey, wait a minute. What did What. did you guys know? Did you know. something was coming on September 10th. at UVU?". All of a sudden, Candace became the. scapegoat because she was sort of the. one out there leading the charge. Here. is a quote tweet from Blake Nef on a. piece on Candace from Brandy Zadrasny on. MS Now.

Tyler Robinson's arrest might have. united a MAGA movement that had been. tearing itself apart over the Epstein. files in the war in Gaza. It might have provided a common enemy, a. focus on lefty posters who were joking. about Kirk's death or Antifa that the. Trump administration had blamed for. Kirk's murder. It might have if not for. Candace Owens. That is Blake Nef. pointing out that he thinks it's Candace.

Owens that ruined the party that was. supposed to take place on the top of. Charlie Kirk's coffin. It's really gross. messaging if you ask me. It's really. disgusting messaging. And if you le you. think, and this is part of the weird. part of this, lest you think that was. limited to just Blake Nef or just. Turning Point, here's Jeremy Boring. Here's Jeremy Boring talking about how. Candace derailed the plan. >> A plausible case can be made that. Candace Owens almost single-handedly. derailed the biggest Christian revival.

of the 21st century so far just after. Charlie Kirk's assassination. It's hard. to imagine a greater act of spiritual. evil. a greater act of spiritual evil because. there was some planned I mean it's hard. for me to ex to explain it any other way. than it sounds like they had a plan. You. know like George Zen said he had a plan. uh and he was going to let the asalent. get away. Uh if you don't know what I'm. talking about trust me he said it. It. sounds like they had a plan. There was a. plan to go after Antifa. There was a.

plan to go after the left. There was a. plan to have this big spiritual revival. and dog gone it Candace Owens came out. and ruined the plan. We also have Ben. Shapiro weighing in on this, saying that. Candace Owens destroyed the unity. moment. >> Instead of that moment of unity, either. political or spiritual, instead what we. got was rampant conspiracism promoted by. precisely people who were not banished, precisely people who while they. themselves were banishing themselves. from the movement. people themselves who.

were not in fact in any way treated with. any level of skepticism. The ideological. border control went away and one of the. things that happened was that the moment. evolved and it is impossible to tell the. story of the last year without talking. about this because that is very much. part of the story. TPS USA as we'll talk. about with Andrew Kovit in a little. while is alive and well. It is thriving. There are lots of great things happening. but the promise of the moment was. destroyed. It was and it was destroyed. by people like for example Candace Owens.

who spends and has spent literally the. entire year since going after TPUSA and. Erica Kirk and promoting wild insane. conspiracism with regard to pretty much. everybody up to and including me among. others. So Ben Shapiro joining the crowd. So we. have Ben Shapiro, we have Jeremy Boring, we have Blake Nef. Basically, we have. all the TPUSA surrogates all jumping on. the same bandwagon. This is your fault. This is your fault, Candace Owens. We.

had something great going on for at. least 11 days until we had the weird. memorial service where Erica Kirk did. the weird thing where she came out to. the weird fireworks and the weird white. suit. We had something great going on. and we could have united behind this. greatness and you ruined it. Why? because you were not satisfied with the. official narrative about what happened. to Charlie Kirk. You started asking. questions and rather than we Jeremy. Boring, Ben Shapiro, Erica Kirk, Blake. Nef, Andrew Kovette, rather than that.

group answering those questions, they. started a war. They started an intrap. party war. The people who had been on. the same team for the 2020 election, the. 2024 election, all of a sudden were. fighting each other over what happened. in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. In. fact, it came to a head in middle of. December of last year. Prior to the. middle of December of last year, you'll. remember Candace Owens had not really. said anything bad much about Erica Kirk. at all. Uh, your humble host, I hadn't. said anything on my show about Erica.

Kirk until the middle of December. Not. really. I had people in comments. constantly saying, "Don't you think. she's weird? Don't you think there's. something more that you need to look. into here?" And I kept saying, "No, no, she's a grieving widow. I don't know how. I would act if I was a grieving widow. I've never lost a spouse. So, it's the middle of December and. we're on the eve of Afest getting ready. to kick off. We're on the eve of Erica. Kirk getting ready to run off on a press. tour in New York over five days hitting. all the Fox uh programs. We're on the. eve of Erica Kirk flying across the.

country in a Gulfream 5 to meet with. Candace Owens face to face to discuss. the investigation into Charlie Kirk. And. we get an absolute series of crashs from. Tim P. Tim P gives us a series of crash. outs and he sort of gives the game away. about where this is headed next. This. first clip talks about the midterms that. that are taking place tonight. This was. back on December 3rd. This was 11 months.

ago. Here's a p here's a clip of Tim P. 11 months ago anticipating that the. Republicans would get trounced in the. midterms. Huie says, "Tim, I work in. construction and experienced the same. thing. My co-workers are all in on the. Charlie Kirk conspiracies. If the. Republicans lose in the midterms, I. believe that Candace Owens is wholly. responsible. She is uh one of the biggest podcasts on. the right doing everything to go to war.

with the organization that helped get. Trump elected. Turning Point. specifically was going out and. registering people to vote. Without. Charlie, it's in trouble. Turning Point. needs to be able to go out and rally. young people and register them to vote. And she's doing everything she can to. destroy that. Without Charlie, it's in trouble. I. agree. I agree, Tim Pool. Without. Charlie, it's in trouble. Why is that. Candace's Why is that Candace's fault? Why is Candace Owens responsible for. TPUSA being in trouble? That's not.

something that registers with me. That's. not something I can look at and say, "Hey, I agree with you there." Now, that. was kind of measured. That was him. looking 11 months into the future, I. think, recognizing rightly at the time. that the Republicans had totally. mismanaged the first year of the Trump. administration. That the second year. didn't appear to be going any better. because we were now we had Operation. Midnight Hammer. The Ukraine war was. still blazing. The Epstein files did not. get released in full. They were not. unredacted. the little pieces that got. released. We had that weird moment where.

these influencers run up and pick up a. binder of files and act like they got. something. And then we find out that. everything in those files was already. released. Then it was kind of like hide. the files. Then we get that weird moment. of Donald Trump saying, "Are we still. talking about Jeffrey?" Yes, Mr. President, we are. We still are. We. still are. On the eve of the election, on the night of the election, we still. are. And there are a lot of people who. are sitting home tonight not voting for. your party because of that. But that was kind of a measured response. from Tim P. Now let's go just.

five days later. Five days later. So he. has this measured response. You know, if. the Republicans lose, I'm blaming. Candace Owens. Listen to his tone change. in five days. I'm not doing this to benefit any. anybody. Nobody's paying me. There's no. Russia. There's no Israel. There's just. me sticking my neck out and then risking. dying for what? A bunch of cowards that. don't want to stand up to protect. themselves. People like Candace Owens. I. couldn't believe that she put you in the. in the thumbnail of uh of her her her. piece today that the idea that she.

didn't that you had some benefit or that. you benefited somehow like it. >> she benefited. I think she's a fed and I. think she killed Charlie. >> No one benefited more than her and now. she is. When you look at what's stopping. us from winning in 2026 right now, what. the what the biggest threat and the. biggest fear we have is it is the. disarray on the right. It is the. fracturing of the coalition of all the. different voices that came together and. stopped the neoliberal liberal. economic order machine that was that was.

coming out and telling everybody to chop. their off and that you you had to get. injected or get locked in your house. And here we have a coalition resisting. and rejecting that. Charlie Kirk dies. and he's not perfect. He loved Israel. Some people don't like that. But he. certainly did organize a movement that. brought people together that helped get. Trump elected, helped Republicans win. and resisted what the Democratic party. had been doing and these psychopath. institutions. I don't want to go back to. co. Does everybody remember what that.

was like when you were locked in your. homie to wear two masks and you couldn't. go anywhere unless they stuck you in the. arm and the only resistance we had was. these feckless loser Republicans who've. got nothing done over the past year. And. now Charlie Kirk was murdered. And we. say, "Holy crap, what do we do? How do. we keep things together?" And Candace. with a smile on her face and Ian, Carol. and all the rest of them say, "Turning. Point did it to themselves. They. destroyed themselves. Polar donations. because they work for Israel. Even Nick.

Fuentes calling it out, saying this is. psychotic." So when we lose in the. midterms and the Democrats bring back. their panels and their subpoenas and. they start arresting people like they. had already done in the past four years. and then we get the whatever the. equivalent of lockdowns is going to be. and you get President Gavin Nuome, you. can mark it all back to this moment when. you had evil stand, scream, and cowards. refuse to do anything. You want to win the midterms? Do what. you said you were going to do when you. ran for office. Do what you said you.

were going to do when you when when you. ran for office. Build the wall. Deport. the illegals. Repeal Obamacare. End the. unnecessary foreign wars. Try not. starting new foreign wars. Cut taxes. Reduce spending. Cut the deficit. Just. do the normal things we elected you to. do. Release the files. Just do what we. asked you to do. But what you cannot do, and this was their big mistake, and this. is what they cannot admit to themselves. They haven't done anything they said. they're going to do. And so now they're. looking for a scapegoat. TPUSA is.

causing a little bit of ruckus with the. death of Charlie Kirk. And so they say, "Well, we'll blame them." Again, what. are your um what are your consultants. trying to find? They're not trying to. find a way to win. They're trying to. find an escape for why they lost. A. scapegoat for why they lost. That is the. Republican message going in to the 2026. midterms. Here's why we lost. Her name. is Candace Owens. Oh, guess what? She's. 9 months pregnant. She's a mother of. four. She broadcasts an internet show.

from her basement. Yes, that's why we. lost. We have trillions of dollars of. the economy we're managing. We've got. missiles. We've got bombs. We've got. guns. We've got soldiers. We've got tax. policy. We've got Republicans in the. House, Republicans in the Senate. We've. got a Republican majority appointed. Supreme Court. We've got a Republican in. the White House. But that dad gum. Candace Owens, keep in mind, he's. predicting this 11 months ago. That's how bad it already was. That's. how bad it already was. That's how bad. the fracture was in the Republican.

party. When we get back from this break, I want to look at specific things that. caused this fracture. Specific things. that caused this fracture and then look. at the messaging of how they've tried to. get their way out of this. And then. we'll take a quick look at the very end. what their closing message is. Believe. it or not, it if it makes you laugh as. hard as it makes me laugh, you're going. to need a restroom nearby.

Glad you got my little white nose wipe. there at the end of that one. Uh that's. all right. That's all right. Hey, um I. want to go through some of the. specifics. I want to start with the Iran. war because I think that is probably the. singular issue that will cause the.

Republicans the most trouble tonight. There are singleisssue voters. There. absolutely are single issue voters. There are people that say, "I'm an. Epstein files guy. I will never vote for. you guys again until you release the. Epstein files in full, unredacted." Uh, but I would say that's the minority. I. think most people look at the Iran war. and they look out and they say, "Hey, wait a minute. You promised us no new. wars and now you've gotten us in a war. that's causing gas prices to go higher, diesel prices to go higher, uh, fertilizer prices to go higher, uh, mortgage interest rates to go higher, the Hormoo Strait is closed. We've got.

chaos in the Middle East. We could have. a refugee crisis. You're talking about. ramping up a war that may involve some. sort of ground invasion or now they're. even talking as Tucker mentioned over. the weekend, a potential nuclear strike. on Iran. He said it with a straight face. and nobody really came out and denied. it. A few other people were like, I. don't know, he seems a little hyperbolic. here. Nobody in the administration came. out and said, "No, that's not we're not. talking about that. That's foolish, Tucker.". So you you you get a contrast, I think, right now, with the way Charlie Kirk.

sort of handled these sorts of war drum. beatings while he was alive versus what. we see coming out of TPUSA right now. I. think Tim P kind of adequately diagnosed. the problem. TPSU TPUSA is struggling. TPUSA had sort of branded itself as the. reason Charlie Kirk got elect I mean uh. Donald Trump got elected in the first. place and it was built on the back of. Charlie Kirk and without Charlie Kirk as. Tim P said TPUSA is in trouble. That was. that clip we played a moment ago. TPUSA.

is in trouble. Charlie Kirk came out and he had a. famous uh tweet where he said, "Hey, the. war drums are beating in DC." Then we. had um Charlie Kirk going to the White. House before Operation Midnight Hammer. during the 12-day war. Going to the. White House and pleading with the. president of the United States. He and. Tucker Carlson were really the only two. people able to get in. Pleading with the. president of the United States, please. don't do this. Don't get involved.

Everybody else was saying, "Ah, if they. get involved, it won't be a big deal. It'll be a quick strike. It'll be over. Nobody there. No harm, no foul.". Basically, very few people will get. hurt. Well, it's not exactly how it's. panned out. I asked Joe Ken about this. I had Joe Ken on for an interview last. week. I asked him about this and I asked. him specifically, did you see Charlie Kirk in the White. House? When did you see him? And what. was Charlie Kirk's message to the. president? And most importantly, did he. get his way? Here's how Joe Kent. answered at least a portion of that. >> But I think those of us that were more.

in the restrainer camp, which Charlie. was, we viewed it as like a partial. victory. We knew the fight wasn't over, but we're like, "Okay, we we prevented. um we prevented ourselves from getting. sucked into this thing, and we at least. maybe won half the argument." Um so, uh. but I Charlie was probably one of the. few outside voices. Him and Tucker, I. think, were the only outside voices that. were really advocating against it. Unfortunately, those I think those were. the two voices that, you know, that. Susie Wilds, the chief of staff, and. others couldn't keep away from President. Trump. I think the other other people.

who would have recur encouraged more. restraint they didn't have the stature. that you know Tucker and Charlie did so. they were easy to keep out but then. after that other than those two you know. Trump was surrounded by people that were. encouraging him to listen to what BB was. saying and to go down this path. >> So you're saying your answer is Charlie. may have gotten his way. He may have won. the argument uh more than than certainly. the Israelis wanted wanted to have. happened. >> Oh, certain I mean definitely.

>> Yeah. Charlie won the day on that. argument. They if if you listen to the. whole interview and I highly encourage. you to uh if you listen to the whole. interview on my channel, Joe Kent goes. into this whole thing about how Charlie. Kirk went to the president and was like, "Don't get involved at all. Not only. don't do Operation Midnight Hammer, stay. out of it. We don't need a regime change. war. we don't need anything else going. on. And Joe Kent right there identified. that Midnight Hammer was sort of the. compromise. And in that sense, because. it was the compromise, Charlie Kirk. basically won the day. The Israelis were.

pushing hard on President Trump to do a. full-scale war in Iran, a full-scale. regime change war in Iran, kind of like. what we're in now. And Charlie Kirk went. there, uh, Tucker Carlson went there, begging the president not to get. involved. And the president ultimately. sort of sided with the two of them and. said, "Okay, I won't do a full-scale. war. We'll just do a limited strike, a. single limited strike, and then we'll be. out of it, and nothing nothing will. really involve us much after that.". Now, contrast that with what they're. saying now. I mean, you go and you look.

and and you you watch the Charlie Kirk. show, the weirdly named Charlie Kirk. show. You look at their Twitter feed. Yeah. Beas and Buttad. You look at their. Twitter feed. You look at all the. messaging coming out of TP USA. You. listen to the CEO, the replacement of. Charlie Kirk, she won't even talk about. it. She won't even talk about it. The. Vanity Fair piece, they asked her very. specifically about the Iran Warren. She's like, I don't know. I don't really. pay much attention to it. Well, that's a. really weird approach considering you. replaced a guy who lobbyed for days.

inside the White House not to get. involved in a war. It's a very distinct. change. Here is how Beas and Butad. Andrew and uh and Blake talked about um. Operation EP epic fury which is what. we're in right now with Iran and whether. or not it's technically a regime change. war. The ultimate secession plan remains. pretty unclear at this point. Uh it. seems to be there was a indication from. President Trump where he was saying. we'll see who they choose. Meaning it.

does seem that this is not a regime. change war. I understand that can feel. like, you know, uh, a distinction. without a difference, right? Because, yeah, the regime is going to change. These are targeted air strikes to take. out the leadership and allow the people. of Iran to choose the next leader. And. so, we don't know how that's going to. play out. We were we're very reticent. around here about regime change wars. were very reticent about. uh going in to a a country as large and.

as strong as Iran and the unintended. consequences are sure to be extreme. We. don't know how this is going to. ultimately play out and they can't say. that enough. Charlie was very concerned. about regime change wars, was very. reticent about using kinetic force in. this region. >> But at the end of the day, >> Charlie over and over and over again. said, "This is why I elected President. Trump. This is why I fought so hard for. the. >> president. That's really what it is. >> Now, maybe I don't know what reticent. means. I always thought it meant you. were hesitant to speak on it. I didn't.

think I don't I don't know if he's using. it correctly or not, but he you you got. the message. You got the message. It's. weak. It's milk toast. It's dullish. dishwater. These guys have no backbone. Why did people follow Charlie Kirk? He. said what he wanted to say, how he. wanted to say it, to whom he wanted to. say it. That's why people respected what. he had to say. That's why the president. let him in the Oval Office. But when the. president let him in the Oval Office, he. was saying, "Hey, don't do this. You. don't want to do this war." Well, lucky. for people who are in favor of this war,

Charlie Kirk's not around to continue. lobbying against the war. In fact, on. Newsmax back all the way in June uh of. of 2025, shortly before Charlie died, he. goes on camera during Operation Midnight. Hammer and says, "Hey, listen. Not even. the Romans could defeat the Persians. Like, they're basically an undefeated. empire. No one's ever really defeated. the Persians. What makes us think we're. any better than anybody else? What makes. us think we can do this? They're are. proud people. They've been around a very. long time. They've held this same plot. of land. And if you think about it,

there's really no way into Iran. It's. completely surrounded by mountains and. and then you'd have to do a water. landing or air drop people. And I'm. telling you, it's nearly impossible. And. to hear Charlie Kirk talk about it, he. made such brilliant points about why. this was a disaster in the making. Contrast that with what they're talking. about now, which is like, well, I don't. think it's a regime change war, though. the regime ultimately did change. And, well, we'll just wait and see how Trump. handles this. And then we got the CEO of. Turning Point who doesn't want to weigh. in on it at all. She doesn't want to. have anything at all to see uh to say.

about it. So, now we're seeing why it is. that Charlie was issuing so many. warnings. Well, all this leads us to the. midterms. All this leads us to tonight. There was so much buildup to the 2024. election. Now, you got to go back in. time. The 2016 election was monumental. The night that the election started, the. night the voting counted, the New York. Times had Hillary Clinton had a 99%. chance of winning. Nobody nobody. believed Donald Trump had a chance to. win that election. And he did. And he. did. And then he had sort of a what I.

think was a wasted four years. Then for. the 2020 election, we ended up with the. big January 6 debacle. Was the election. stolen? Did Joe Biden really win it? What happened in the middle of the night. when they stopped counting and all the. ballots came in? you ended up with. everybody at January 6th. There were. mass arrests. There were hearings. There. was there was an impeachment. So, leading up to the 2024 election, there was a lot on the table. There was. a whole lot on the table. And TPSA and. Charlie Kirk and many other Republican. activists, your humble host included, put a lot into that 2024 election. Let's.

see if we can get this guy one more. chance. Let's see if we can get them the. second term that they denied him in. 2020. In fact, it was such an emotional. moment. It was such an emotional moment. at the end of the night when they. finally announced that Pennsylvania was. going to go for Donald J. Trump. Charlie. Kirk started crying. It looked something. like this. >> We're seeing Fox Call live. Let me let. me give you credit from right here in. Pennsylvania. You were the guy. You and. Tyler convinced me. You said, "Cliff,

stop knocking across the country. Go. back to your home state. Own. Pennsylvania. That will be the deciding. factor." I thought you guys were nuts. We knocked 500,000 doors. We delivered. Pennsylvania. And now we've got our. country back. Let's do this, baby. Come. on. >> Let's go. >> There it is. >> Clean up. Clean up. Clean up. >> You got to get Erica in here to make it. about her.

>> She looks like Breijit Doll right there. >> Huge win. She looked like Breijit Doll sneaking. in. >> She kind of looked like Breijit Doll. sneaking in. I'm sorry. She just did. Breit Dolls hanging out in the Yeah, there she is. >> She looks I mean that's kind of what she. looked like sneaking in. No offense, Erica. No offense. No offense. Breit. doll's very beautiful. Very beautiful. But you end up with Charlie Kirk crying. after the 2024 election. I would argue. that's really the first night of the. midterms. That's the first night of the.

election cycle leading up to today. because everything that took place from. that day forward has led us to where we. are tonight. And what is the message? What is the message that Republicans are. taking into tonight's vote? This is this. is how they've been trying to turn us. out. We're going to run through some of. these. Some of them are pretty shocking. in my opinion. Like this tweet uh tweet. from Benny Johnson. Benny likes Johnson. Uh likes the last name Johnson. Big big. fan of the last name Johnson. Uh, I. watched them kill Charlie Kirk and. celebrate it. I watched them shoot our. president in the head and celebrate it.

I watched them kill Trump's supporters. and celebrate it. If they can shoot. Charlie and Trump, what will they do to. you and your family? This is not a. political battle. It's a spiritual one. We're fighting good versus evil, darkness versus light be on the side of. life. God help us. We must win. Vote. They're leading with the death of. Charlie Kirk. That's the That's the. closing message from a lot of these. people. We'll roll through several of. these here in a moment. This is the. message. It's an emotional appeal. It's.

basically wheeling his coffin out as a. campaign prop. It's gross in my opinion. It wasn't just Benny Johnson. It was Don. Jr. gets in on the action. Don Jr. says, "Vote like your lives and. the lives of your children depend on it. because they do.". And he says, "Vote like the other side. will kill you for talking.". That's g I'm sorry. That's gross. I I am. a I'm frankly offended by that. I wish. Twitter would have kind of demonetized. those or or whatever they do where they.

kind of throttle things. Uh not to be. outdone, local gadfly Robbie Starbucks. gets into the He looks like a woman in. that picture. I promise he's a man. I. promise he's a man. I don't know where. you guys got that amazing picture. Uh. but that's Robbie Starbucks. And here is. his tweet. If you can't find the motivation to vote. today, here it is. Charlie wouldn't have. set this election up. You're his vote. now. Go use it today. For God, for. country, and for Charlie. Oh, and ignore. all the polls. Polls don't vote. People.

do. Vote. Vote as if you're Charlie. That's. his closing message. Nothing about the. wonderful things the Trump. administration has done. Nothing about. the greatness that the Republican party. has brought us over the last two years. How they deserve two more years. How. they're just this close to finishing all. their campaign promises. No, it's an. emotional poll for a guy who was. tragically assassinated in broad. daylight in front of 3,000 live people. that everybody unfortunately has had to. watch take place over and over and over.

again as you inevitably come across. these clips on social media and other. places. Caroline Levit, the former. spokesperson for Donald Trump, Caroline. Levit gets into the Charlie Grift when. it comes to voting. But as mothers, as parents, as. Americans, we are called to pair our. prayer with action. And nobody did this. better than our dear friend Charlie. Kirk, who spent his life encouraging us. to respectfully debate and actively.

participate in our democracy. >> We do love Charlie. God bless him and. God bless Erica. So, my fellow. Americans, on November the 3, pair your. prayer with action and get out and vote. Vote like the lives of our children and. their futures depend on it because they. do. President Trump only has two more. years of being the leader of our great. nation, and God bless him. but he needs.

your support to to vote for Republicans. up and down the ballot so he can. continue his efforts to make America. great again. Thank you, Texas, and God. bless you. >> Did you hear that weird message? Vote like your lives and your children's. lives depend on it. And then she. squished it in there with Charlie Kirk. In other words, I mean, are you telling. me my kids are going to be hit by a. sniper if they if I don't vote. Republican? That's that's the closing. message of the 2026 midterm elections.

It's gross. It is so nasty. No message. about what they've done for you. No. message about how your life is better. now than it was two years ago. No. message about all the great things the. Trump administration has pulled. together. Vote because Charlie died and your kids. might die too. I mean, does anyone else. feel motivated to ransack the polls at. this very moment on the heels of that. message? Uh TP Action, Turning Point. Action actually jumps into the Charlie. Griff. Vote for Charlie. Charlie's not.

on the ballot. Charlie's not on the. ballot. Charlie's not on the earth. He's. he's passed away. Un I mean, it's. tragic. I'm not making light of it. Charlie's not here. The the vote has to. be for something else. Charlie's not. here. He's not on the ballot. And if this is your closing message and. you guys have been so divisive that you. have attacked person after person after. person for the last year since Charlie. died, then now you're telling me to use. that as motivation. I'm not buying it.

I'm not buying it. I want you to go back. and look, since we're talking about. Charlie, I want you to go back and look. at the last election cycle. Let's go. back to 2024 and let's look at just a. summary tweet Charlie put up on all the. things he did in the month leading up to. the 2024 election. Let's see all the. things he was accomplishing. Here we go. Two Trump rallies, three pastor events. with 500 pastors, nine campus events, a. prove me wrong tableabling event, 61. superchased door knockocking and ballot. chasing events, 500 volunteer ballot.

chasers, 80,000 low propensity ballots. successfully chased. And then I'm not. going to read all this, but just watch. as they scroll. We've got a little. summary graphic we're going to show you. in a second. We've got Monday. I mean, every single day there's Charlie Kirk. showing up at events p pitching the. election, pitching the Trump. administration, making the case, closing. the deal, convincing people to get out. and vote. This was how he campaigned. This was TPUSA under Charlie Kirk. In. fact, we have a midterm map. I mean, we. have a uh excuse me, a an election map.

Pull this up. This was every this were. the places Charlie Kirk was at the. closing days. If you if you scroll down this uh. October 8th, he's in Nevada. the. University of Nevada. October 11th, he's. in Oregon, Oregon State University. Uh. October 15th, he's at Northern Arizona. University. October 16th, University of. Arizona. 17th, Arizona State University. The. 18th, he's in the Phoenix area on a. bring back your ballot or bring your own. ballot uh event. Uh October 21, he has.

multiple events. Georgia State. University, and then he flies over to. UNC Chapel Hill. You notice he's. spending a lot of time in deep. battleground states, Georgia, North. Carolina, Arizona, Nevada. October 23, he's uh in Georgia. Uh. October 24, he's at the University of. Nevada, Las Vegas, and then he's at a. Trump rally that evening. October 29 or. 28, excuse me, Grand Canyon University. in Phoenix. October 29, he's at ASU. Polytenic campus. October 30 back across.

the country in North Carolina at East. Carolina University in Greenville, North. Carolina. And then October 31, he closes. at High Point University in North. Carolina and then flies across the. country to Desert Diamond Arena in. Glendale, Arizona. That's how Charlie. campaigned the last month leading up to. the last election. I point that out for a very specific. reason. He was the CEO of Turning Point. That's what we expect. That's what we expect of Charlie Kirk,

the CEO of Turning Point. Turning Point. has turned into a an organization that. exists to get Republicans elected. primarily that and and preach a little. Christianity. It started out obviously. as a nonpartisan group that that. promoted economic libertarianism, but. they're a long way from that. We we can. kind of accept now they exist to endorse. people like JD Vance to to get. Republicans elected. And that's what he. was doing at the closing of the election. of 2024. Now, we also have a map because. I didn't want to leave Erica out. We. have a map of all the places Erica has. been campaigning the last closing month.

before this election. There is Erica at her one event at Grand. Canyon University. Her one event at. Grand Canyon University. on October whatever date that was. That's her one event. This is the new. CE. This is the new Turning Point USA. She had to have the job. She had to have. the job. She knew she could fill it in. Here is uh Well, well, let's hold off on.

that for a second. This is the new Te USA. You want to know. why Republicans are getting just. annihilated probably tonight? Well, look. how Charlie Kirk campaign. Look how his. wife who took his place campaigns. He's. everywhere all over the place for the. entire month recklessly, frankly, flying. across the country multiple times, sometimes multiple times on the same. day. And his wife does one event. I. actually have a clip from that event. Do. we have that clip? Uh Erica in the. midterms. This is her pitch.

Um from Grand Canyon University. >> How How many of you are v are going to. are planning on voting November 3rd? Good. That's a good amount. Okay. Make. it fun. Take your friends. All of you. guys should just take a bus and go. together. Just massive GCU bus just. drops off of a polling station. Uh, take your friend. Take the person. who tells you voting is pointless and. then go buy them Chipotle after. Do you. guys eat Chipotle? Subway. I don't know.

Yeah. Okay, good. Chipotle. That's her closing message. Make it Make it fun. Steal the school. bus, I guess. I I don't know. Do they. let you borrow the school bus for voting. event? I maybe. I don't know. Get on a. school bus, take some people, and buy. Chipotle. I moved. I moved. That's her one. campaign stop. And that was her message. That was the pitch, ladies and. gentlemen. That was the campaign pitch. And you wonder why people say TPUSA is.

starving to death over there. They are. suffering. They're suffering. And here's. my question. Are they ever going to be held. accountable? Like, if if if the. Republicans go out and just get. shellacked in every race they support, is anyone going to look internally at. TPSA and say, "Maybe we chose poorly. Maybe we chose poorly." Everybody liked. to give Charlie all the credit for 2016. Oh, Charlie Kirk, the the teenage kid or. the guy in his early 20s who got Donald. Trump elected. Well, he took all the. credit hanging out in the White House. now ping around with Don Jr. 2024. You.

heard it right there. We played a clip. earlier. 2024. It was Yeah, Charlie, you're the one. You told me to go and. hang out in Pennsylvania and knock half. a million doors. And that's why we won. Charlie, this election's on you. Well, if the election goes poorly. tonight, is it also on them? Is the election on them also? If it goes. poorly because they were not in the. White House arguing against further. involvement in Iran because they've not. come clean with things. They're not out.

there asking, demanding for the release. of the Epstein files like Charlie Kirk. was. They're not out there really. campaigning. The CEO does one event and. she says, "Get Chipotle." That's her. closing message. Get Chipotle. I like. Chipotle as much as the next guy. Not. knocking Chipotle at a at a burrito bowl. the other night, but my goodness, like I. can think of a thousand things I would. tell people to try to drive them to the. polls other than steal the school bus. and get Chipotle. That's not the closing message.

that I would have expected her to lead. with. She did get on Twitter and give, I. think, three or four tweets. I'll be. fair to her. I'll show them. It wasn't. just Grand Canyon. H there she is. uh. yet again pulling Charlie out to promote. elections. Elections have consequences. There are a lot of people right now. trying to convince you America isn't. worth preserving. Some want you to. believe this country was rotten from the. beginning. Others want you to believe. it's too far gone to save. And some are. simply sitting this one out. My friends, I will tell you, if you go watch that.

whole clip, if you go watch that whole. event that we just pulled that clip. from, this is just a part of the speech. This is just part of the speech. She. didn't even write her actual tweet. She. just pulled like five lines of the. speech out and put it up. Make a plan. today. Vote engineering polling polling. location there. That was October 30th. The following day, back on social media, November 1. How incredible is it? We get to vote in. the year America celebrates its 250th. birthday. Is there anybody today going. to the polls that are like, you know, I. was planning to sit it out, but it is.

America's 250th birthday. Now, we did have that kind of town hall. fair thing midway going on on the. National Mall this year. I think. hundreds of people, maybe tens of. people, dozens of people at least, showed up at that. I I just I'm I'm very cons concerned. about the messaging. We got one more the. following day. This is includes a video. of Charlie Kirk from 2024. Reminiscing. reminiscing election Eve 2024. My. husband's timeless wisdom. Whatever. happens, we'll keep fighting. Kind of.

sounds like defeat. kind of sounds like. she's admitting defeat the day before. the election. And then just today, she. puts, "Pray, show up. Pray, vote, pray.". And of course, quote tweets her husband, "Don't ever vote for a Democrat.". So, that's kind of her closing message. All right. Is there anybody else out. there with any kind of other closing. message? We've gotten Candace Owens is. evil and she's the reason that. Republicans might lose. Uh, we've gotten. vote because Charlie Kirk died. weird.

message, but I'll allow it. Uh maybe. check in on Steven Crowder. Maybe he has. a little more positive message. He's he. kind of fancies himself as a political. expert. Fighting the left. Here's the left. playbook in this election. Class. warfare, right? Character assassinate. and they'll walk back. Wo. Just look at. Mandani and Elsa. These people don't. Telerico is as bad as it gets. I didn't. see the incredible mobilization from the.

Duckers, the Candacees, the the people. out there saying you should sit this one. out. >> Are you done with Donald Trump? >> He's been a chronic disappointment. >> He's threatening to blow up power plants. and bridges hurting civilians. >> There will be nothing like it. Open the. straight, you crazy bastards, or. you'll be living in hell. Just watch. To. write that is it's diabolical. >> Are we really going to be the the. Gestapo? Where's your papers? Is that. what we've come to? >> Our Christian leaders are still going to. try to protect that and justify that. How dare they? >> The picture of politics in America is. going to look very differently because. of his actions.

>> People who advise you to sit it out, they don't despise the left in the way. that the people who refuse to sit this. out do. So don't sit it out. Get out and. vote. It's Candace's fault. That's what. I got from that. It's Candace's fault. She's very powerful. Very powerful for a. nine-month pregnant woman who's a mother. of four who broadcast an internet show. from her basement. Very, very powerful. I want to do one more uh clip. I'm going.

to skip the the Trump clip. I want to do. uh one more clip and then we'll close it. out with a photo here of what I think. best summarizes the disaster that could. face Republicans tonight. This clip is. what I would say is the new face of the. GOP. You wonder why the GOP is. struggling so much. Maybe maybe your. choice of spokespeople is part of the. problem. Well, we have a new face of the. GOP and we have a closing message from. our friend Scott Presler. Now, I have a message to the American.

people. I realize that we haven't. accomplished everything within two. years. That's why we're out here asking. for another two. Make President Trump a. four-year president. make sure that the. job that we gave him in 2024, he can. accomplish and use all four years to get. it done. That means controlling the. House of Representatives. That means. keeping the United States Senate and. here in Pennsylvania.

There's your closing message. Are you as motivated as I am? Uh we he. he said the Trump administration has not. gotten everything accomplished they. wanted to get accomplished. Uh, our. friends Beas and Buttthead over at the. Charlie Kirk show made for us a. whiteboard. They made for us a. whiteboard that had a list of all what. they claim are the 20 Trump campaign. promises. I would dispute that, but I'm. going to take it at face value because I. think it's terrible enough as it is. They put up 20 campaign promises and.

their their claim is that he kept 16 of. them. So, we should give him more. Republican support to finish, I guess, the job. But here is that whiteboard. that Blake Nef put together. Uh, notice the blue X's. I, now I have a. problem with the fact that the X's are. blue and the check marks are red. I have. a real problem with that, but I'm. willing to let it go. Take a look at the. blue X's. All right, just don't worry. about any of the red check marks. You. walk into the voting booth and you think. of the following four things.

He did not deliver on inflation, meaning. inflation's out of control. He did not. deliver on restoring peace, meaning war. is boiling. War is raging around the. globe. He did not secure the elections. Meaning when you walk in, you don't know. that your votes going to count. You. don't know that somebody else's vote. isn't going to count more than once. You. don't know that the machine's going to. be hacked. You don't know that anybody's. check the ID of anybody. Not secured the. elections and finally did not unite. America. We're as divided as ever. I.

would argue he didn't even unite the the. Republican party. He didn't even unite. the conservatives. Just take those four. That's the closing. message of the Republican party. Charlie died. and give him more time to not fight. inflation, restore peace, secure. elections, or unite America. There it. is. I mean, that's your closing message. That's your closing message. I'm not. telling people who to vote for. I never. tell people who to vote for. I used to,

but I got out of that business after. Trump burned me two years ago. I'm never. going to tell anyone who to vote for. ever again. So, I'm not going to tell. you who to vote for or even whether to. vote, but I'll close this way. I'm not. real ignited by these messages. If I if I was a campaign consultant and. someone came to me and they said, "These. are the messages you need to take to the. American public. You need to close with. Scott Pressler begging to give Trump two. more years and then have him put up. Blake Nef's whiteboard showing that the.

world is raging on on fire and war. Inflation's out of control. The. elections aren't secure and nobody's. divided. Everybody's divided. Yeah, that'll work.

I love this friendship of. Baron and Candace. I am here for it. I'm. here for it too, Holly House. I'm here. for it too. U not uh and then from Jayen. Taylor. Not settling till I meet someone.

who looks at me the way Breijit looks at. Baron. I got you girl or boy. All right, we got some comments from. today. We got some comments from today. Stacy Chapman writes, "Hi, Baron. What are your thoughts on Dantis. coming out against Trump and Republicans. who are gaslighting people about the war. and not uh the war not causing an. affordability problem?".

Do we have a clip on that? Listen, we. just got to be honest. Gas is higher. It. hurts people, workingclass people, and. it's higher because of this conflict. That's just a fact. If you can't admit. that to voters, then you're gaslighting. them and they're not going to listen to. you on other things. So I think what's. So I think what's going to happen is he. obviously I think has not wanted to do. anything leading up to the midterms. So. what happens after the midterms to bring. the Iran conflict to a conclusion.

because I can tell you he's been advised. and I think you've probably seen the. reports where there people have told. them this is going to drag on for the. rest of his presidency. If it drags on. for the rest of his presidency, it's. going to be devastating to to his. ability to get anything done and it is. going to be very very difficult for. Republicans in the next cycle. >> Is this Gosh, I wish I could trust Ronda. Santis. He always says all the right. things. I don't know if he can be. trusted or not. I used to trust Donald. Trump. I He always said all the right. things as well. Uh look, to answer your.

question, uh what are my thoughts on it? He's exactly right. He's exactly right. You cannot keep lying to these people. all the time. You cannot tell people, "Oh, your grocery bill is fine." No, it's not. No, it's not. I go to the. grocery store. What used to be $100 is. now $200. That's not 6% inflation or 3%. inflation. It's like doubled. It's. doubled. What used to be 200 is now 400. And that just is crushing people. It's. just absolutely crushing people. It's. going to eventually crush the economy. Uh so Ronda Santis is right. Stop. gaslighting people. We can drive by and.

look at the gas station signs. We know. how much it used to cost to fill up a. truck and how much it costs to fill up a. truck now. You know how much? Say you. even drive a little car. Little like. Mazda Miata. We know how much it used to. cost to fill up a Mazda Miata. It's. double. It's double. I'm sorry. It just. is. Just is. Uh, Aluminum Unicorn. writes, "Someone wise once told me, never trust a company who blames their. customers for missing sales. I feel like. ours are going to do this." Yeah, I I I. am really interested to see how they. handle this in the next week if things.

go the way we expect. Now, I will say. this. If things don't go the way we. expect, I will start to believe the. conspiracy theory that all the previous. elections were being stolen in. Venezuela, cuz we stole Venezuela's. president. And if these elections don't. go the way we expect this time, I'm. going to have some serious serious. concerns about the safety of American. elections. Maybe that's why they. wouldn't pass the Save Act. I don't. know. Uh, Heather writes, "I believe we. can agree on the spectrum of our humble. hosts hoodie colors should now serve to.

gauge each episode's gravity and. severity while the principal is on. leave. From battle buns to breakthrough. black, go Max." I will admit the black. was a conscious choice for two reasons. One was I wore white yesterday and um I. wore black today and just, you know, next in the rotation. Second reason is. it was I mean, look, I don't shy away. from the the the label black pill all. that much. I don't shy away from it. Um, right now I'm a little nihilistic about. the prospects of the Republican party.

being able to turn this around. I just. am. I just am. I'm very nihilistic about. TPUSA playing any role in the Republican. party being able to turn it around. You. guys want us to trust you in the future. Act like you told us you would act when. we voted for you. Act like it. Do the. things you said you would do and be. honest about it. Be honest about it. Uh. Jay Galt, the Republican party now. sounds like Hillary Clinton when she. lost back in 2016. Yeah, a little bit. A. little bit. Uh priv, that's your name. Privileged white.

trash. I'm not calling her white trash, ladies and gentlemen. That's her name. Privileged white trash. Uh to save face, they could have had Erica Kirk armchair. CEO from her home as discussed publicly. and found and found college debaters to. be the face instead of running around. making a mockery of what he built, which. is oddly being allowed. Hey, listen. We did Erica Kirk a solid tonight. We. actually had two clips of Erica Kirk. pulled up ready to go and one of them. was longer than the other. And honestly,

it made her look so bad we we didn't run. it. I mean, that's just a fact. It it's. it's it's sad when I'm the one saving. her from herself. Uh I've I've been a. little bit of an Erica Kirk critic over. the last year. I'll be honest with you. Well, last nine months or so. And. tonight we we pulled one of the clips. cuz she looked so bad. It was the same. speech, but she looked terrible. She. just looked terrible. An absolutely. unprepared person. A very unserious. person. I will just say that. She's. unserious. She's unserious for that.

role. Like, you wouldn't want me to be a. center in the NBA. I'm not going to be a. center for the Lakers, right? I'm six. feet tall. I cannot bang with these 7. foot4 guys in the post for the Los. Angeles Lakers. There are some people. who just aren't born to be in certain. roles. My friend, she is not born to be. in that role. I'm sorry. She's just not, which is why we pulled that clip because. she looked terrible. Uh, Vanite from fan. from Japan. Jeffrey Epste files got me. into US politics. Not a Charlie Kirk. fan, but his death was sketchy. Possibly.

tied to something bigger. US actions affect us all. As a parent, I. feel war. I fear war and oligarchs. sacrificing lives for power. Justice for. Charlie Kirk. Peace above all. Christ is. king indeed. I get a little bit of a. hard um time from people because I'm a. little bit of a pacifist. Honestly, unless people are rolling up on American. shores, I really don't want to get. involved. And people kind of give me a. hard time about that. But, you know, depending on what happens in the next. few weeks, I think more people might.

start seeing that my way. We've been at. war basically in the Middle East for 35. years. We've basically been at war in the. Middle East for 35 years. There there. are people who are 40 years old right. now who were five when we went to war in. the the Middle East and we've basically. been at war in the Middle East. Uh Iraq, Somalia, uh Afghanistan, Iraq again, Lebanon, Syria, Israel. I mean, we just. it's just all over. It's non-stop. It's.

non-stop. And I think people are getting. sick and tired of it. And I think if if. they really try to ramp this thing up. again, people are I think more people. are going to dawn black hoodies, if not. pirate flags and and start causing. causing chaos. So, I agree with you. I. agree with you. Uh Lucy Williams, thank. you for giving us hope, for inspiring. people to be better, and for giving. people the confidence to stand up for. what's right. Newly LLB graduate. Oh, you must be from overseas. LLB. That's. how the uh the Commonwealth countries,

that's the law degree they hand out. Congratulations, by the way. I hope you. uh I hope you put it to good use and. don't go serve these corporate overlords. who make our lives hell. It's okay if you do. I understand the. money's a big draw. I won't blame you. I. won't blame you. But a man can hope. A. man can hope. Uh Zamit, even Mr. and Mr. Mc. even Mr. and Mr. Acronone Mcronone agree. it was Candace's fault. Yes. Yes, they do. Yet, yes, he does. It's.

okay. It's okay. It's okay. Hey, listen. I don't mind using the Breijg doll prop. anymore after Erica Kirk played the. Breijit doll prop in that clip. I'm fine. with it at this point. That you're now. fair game, girl. Boy, uh, who wrote in Candace's Baby for. Office, and why didn't I think of it. sooner? Who wrote in Candace's baby for. office? Well, you guys don't know the. name. You have to have a name to write. somebody in. You can't write in.

Candace's baby, but. you know, we'll see. And the baby has to. be born first. You can't can't hold. office if he's not born. Uh Jack Splat, red versus blue is all BS. They're all. rotten peas from the same rotten pod. BB. has been trying to get the US in a war. against Iran for decades. No president. ever bowed to him on that until Trump, a. Republican, not a Democrat. Well, I tend. to agree with you. I hear a lot of.

people say there's no these people that. say there's no difference between. Republicans and Democrats. I mean, on a. few shiny issues, there are. Um, but is. either party seriously offering you a. solution to get out of debt? Is either. party seriously offering you a solution. to stop these Middle Eastern wars that. have been raging for now three and a. half decades and look to be getting. ready to ramp up again for potentially. years longer? I mean, is anybody. offering you any sincere solutions to. any of these actual problems to grocery. prices, gas prices? No. No. In that. sense, there's not a dime's worth of.

difference between them. Sorry. Uh, don't forget about the merch over at. candacewowens.com. You can get the new. Christmas merch. Got new Christmas. merch. Your humble host has an. appearance on the Christmas merch if. we're being honest. And on the mug. And. on the mug. Substitute teacher mug. Substitute teacher shirt.

dog sandwich debate and I was like, "Look, I can't get involved. Girl, you. you're on your own. You're on your own.". Uh, here's the Christmas collection. We've got some uh Christmas. ornaments and uh they kind of scroll. down there. We don't know. No know, but. we know. I told my priest I would chill. My wife has that sweatshirt.
