The Charlie Kirk Show - Can Trump Voters Become GOP Voters?

Episode Date: November 4, 2025

The results in today's elections will hinge on one major factor: Whether thousands of people who voted Trump last November will bother coming out this time when he's not on the ballot. Is that going to happen, though? Rich Baris talks about the layout of the "Trump realignment," and Jim Jordan joins as well.

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as much.

many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA College Chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am.

Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers. All right, welcome to our two of the Charlie Kirk Show. We have Election Day across the country.

By the way, there's a race going on in Mesa, and Blake's going to give us a brief on that in just a second. But first, I want to welcome in Rich Barris, Big Data Poll, the People's Pundit. Rich, thanks for racing back. I know you were out and about, and you hustle back to make it for the show. show. So thank you, my friend. We also got Jack Posobic Human Events Daily host here, and let's do a four up here. Rich, I want to know, break down for us what you're seeing out there. What's going to decide these different races in VA, New Jersey, obviously the judges in Pennsylvania and New York

City. So New Jersey is the one, I'll be just flat out, is the one that I'm most interested because I really do feel like the environment in New Jersey and the state's tradition, you know, it's a historical tradition of not wanting to elect three terms for the same party does matter. I live there for years. I know it. People talk about it. It's a thing. All right. So that is the race that I'm most interested in. And interestingly enough, we do get partisan data from counties as the day goes on. So, of course, I'm looking at mammoth. I'm looking at Ocean and a ton of other places to see if Republican turnout is going to be sufficient. Also, Jack Sidorelli is winning independence by a pretty decent margin. The independent

turnout today is going to make a big difference. So in the early vote, it was not as high as Republicans would have liked to see it, but we'll see what happens on Election Day. Yeah, we're getting reports from Cliff Maloney that the turnout is good, not great. Yeah. So it's, I mean, this thing really could come down to the to the wire here uh rich so listen we've seen i want to i want to pivot really quickly to uh jones the ag race in virginia uh that is a race that looks winnable but it looks like when some sears is falling behind which could implicate down ballot races what are you seeing so we have been polling this for a private project that we're doing we've been tracking it since it's like 11 days now andrew and it looked like may are

had a sizable lead to the point where I was ready to just tell people this race is over. But what happened is that Winston Sears did fall behind. And the more she fell behind, the more Spanberger was pulling others up. Even the lieutenant governor's race, by the way, Reid didn't have a whole lot of money, but he traveled the state, ran a retail campaign, a very accessible campaign. The media got to ask him any question he wanted. It would sit for hours and talk to voters in these forums. And the race was fairly tight when we started to poll it.

There's a lot of undecided's, but it was fairly tight. As Sears began to lag, it did start to hurt the other candidates. And I mean, I can actually tell you, I mean, it's basically a tied race for Attorney General right now. So I think, and this is connected to some of the other work we've been doing, I think for a while Democrats were just unwilling to tell the pollster that they were going to vote for Jones regardless. And that doesn't surprise me, giving some of the work we've done, you know, what we've been hearing from Democrats. that doesn't really surprise me, Andrew. I know that that's a sad commentary on the state of our politics, but really what happened is about 10% of Democrats

were unwilling to tell us they would vote for Jay Jones. And that was leading a lot of people to believe we may have a big undervote where they just don't cast a ballot for attorney general, but I'm more leaning toward they're just going to vote for Jay Jones. Well, and I want to bring in Blake for this as well. But you know, you see these polls, right, Rich and Blake, where they basically say, oh, look at the Democrat approval rating

is it historic lows 26% approval rating and all this stuff and I'm like that's doesn't it's not going to translate to an election I'm pretty sure Republicans won like their biggest house race ever in a year where they had incredibly low approval it's it's sort of just a sport to hate your own party at yeah it's just like I hate I hate the leadership of my I don't like Chuck Schumer therefore I'm going to vote or I'm going to tell a pollster that I'm I'm upset with the Democrat party they'll still pull the trigger for gosh I got to get that out of my my my lexicon here they're still going to they're still going to drop the vote for for Jay Jones and for the AG race.

They're still going to go for the Democrat candidate, even though he's a socialist slash communist in New York City. Am I reading that right? Yeah, you are. And also, too, I think some of these polls, you know, I've been a critic of the polling industry for a while. I think there's just full of it. You know, you have some of these polls out there like Quinnipiac and the CNN poll that came out.

They are doing that on purpose. I think some of this is to sow complacent. among the right are Democrats in a bad place with their brand yes but you have two things almost what we saw with Republicans by the way where Republicans used to be very unpopular much of it was coming from their own voters saying look I wish you did more of this I wish you were more right wing I wish you were more America first it would never occur to people that it it may not impact their electoral viability and here I think it was We just did that as well, favorability for both the parties, Republicans, and Democrats are both underwater in our polling Democrats much more so, but it wasn't because, you know, voters were checked out on them.

You know what I mean, guys? They'll still vote for them if they're the voters saying, I have an unfavorable opinion on the party because I want it to be more progressive, right? Does that mean they're going to sit home or does that mean they're going to vote for the Republican? of course not and it didn't mean that when republicans exhibited the same behavior in polling either awesome blake why don't you tell us about uh mesa yeah yeah rich i don't know if you're watching this i wanted to flag this uh because charlie always cared a lot about the local arizona races you heard a lot about making arizona as conservative as possible so this is a local race but one near and dear to his heart so we have a council member in mesa that's the town right

here it's one of the biggest suburbs of phoenix julie spillsbury in district too. And we are attempting to recall her. Julie Spilsberry is a Republican. Put many, many quotes around that. Many quotes. She endorsed Kamala Harris in last year's election. Tyler could give you a whole longer list of horror stories about her, but that's the key thing. She's a Republican who endorsed Kamala, made herself a face of Republicans for Kamala, and she's representing a conservative part of the East Valley, a conservative part of the Phoenix area. So we want to recall

her. Now, if you live in Mesa, you have to live in district two. And if you have it, it is a mail-only election. You cannot go to the polls and vote in this. You have received a ballot in the mail. So if you live in that area, go check, see if there's some ballot. You ignored. You put in your pile of other mail that you weren't paying attention to. Grab it. You can fill it out and still drop it off today. You can't drop it in a mailbox. You have to, at this point, drive it directly to the polling center. And then you can drop it off. But that is how you can vote. We want to recall Spillsbury. You want to be putting Doreen Taylor in instead. Yep. That is important. So, so yeah, and the little backstory on

that election, Rich, it's, that was a complete grassroots bottom up thing. I mean, she, it was a grassroots activist that filed the recall position, got it across the, the, the finish line. Of course, turning point action is going to be helping in any way we can because the grassroots is completely revolting against a, you know, a Republican for Kamala. Also, this same Republican, Spillsbury has basically endorsed some of the transgender craziness within the city. So we're keeping a lookout on that as well. Rich, I want to take our eyes over to California Prop 50. It's going to pass, isn't it? Overwhelmingly, it's going to pass. And I look, I always tell it how it is. You know, I'm looking around at some of those returns in California. Look at a county like Stanis

allows. I mean, I think it bothers me so much because you really start to feel like you're beating a dead horse election cycle after election cycle after election cycle. And people don't listen. And that is a district. That's a county that's in a district. California 13. It was represented by John Duarte. He trailed Donald Trump badly because this is a central valley, heavily Hispanic working class area. Donald Trump carried the district. John Duarte lost. And, And now Republicans, their returns in Merced and Stanis Laos are absolutely anemic. Even Madeira, which is the heart of that. But I wouldn't even say the Republican or conservative heart of it.

It's pretty MAGA. That's the heart of that district. It's terrible. And, you know, it's like at some point you want to say, I told you so. But, you know, again, it can be frustrating because sometimes you just don't. don't want to be right, but there just seems there is a lot of complacency out there right now, and there's a lot of a feeling of like, you know, what exactly am I voting for, Andrew? So, Rich, one of the things that we've kind of, you know, probably stressed out a lot about over here,

and we devoted a lot of our time at Turning Point Action to getting out that low prop voter in this era of Trump. Trump has remade the electorate in so many ways. you know what do we do is it is it just a presidential election cycle that we seem to be so anemic about this turnout or is it is it trump directly like meaning are we going to see a reversal uh in 2028 is that's just the way we're kind of geared on this side now the truth is we don't know the answer to that and that is why after the 2024 election what i really tried to convey Andrew was that the these voters that you guys were and and it was really Donald Trump being at the top of the ticket provided a unique opportunity to help other groups get these voters to the polls, because all of the research that we did clearly did say Donald Trump. If I'm going to go for anybody, it's going to be Donald Trump. So the number one goal the Republican Party should have had was courting these voters. And I guess we're going to answer your question over the next couple of years. I mean, you had to convince these voters that the Republican Party was becoming. more like Donald Trump and Donald Trump is not going to revert back to the old Republican Party because they have no loyalties to the Republican Party

and it's just the truth and a lot of people resisted this just when you look at New Jersey for instance and I'm not here to criticize I'm just flatly saying what happened there were a lot of the minds around the president saying you know what we're concerned that if you go there

you're going to drive up Democratic turnout Andrew that that presents a fundamental misunderstanding of the realignment. Democrats are now the party of higher propensity turnout educated voters, more educated or as Charlie used to say credentialed. Don't say educated rich, they're credentialed, right? And that's true. But Republicans don't seem to get this. If you're still saying things like, I think it's dangerous to send Donald Trump to New Jersey because you could increase Democratic turnout, you don't understand the Republican coalition, like fundamentally,

period. I mean, we're 10 years into this movement now and there are still some people, people who don't know this, Donald Trump has to be, and I'm sad to say this, but Donald Trump has to be present like he was in 2018 to make sure that people get out to the polls who vote for him and are not sold in the Republican Party. And I know that's an unfair thing to ask him, but it's just the state of the party. I mean, Republicans aren't ready yet. They're not ready yet. I think, I think, yeah. And that's sad. I mean, especially in a place like New Jersey where, you know, I think Trump could have a major impact. He's not been present.

I mean, this is something where, and I'm just going to say it, right, one of the differences between Virginia and New Jersey,

New Jersey still has these blue-collar Democrats. You have a lot of the ethnic whites, Italian, Irish, Polish. They will cross over to vote for Donald Trump. Virginia, the Democrats are the white-collar federal workers. They're the ones supporting Jay Jones and the no-can. King's protests. Yeah, I see, Jack, because you get the realignment, you know that. So I get these people who say, but Virginia, you know, in New Jersey, they voted pretty

close on the presidential level. And it's, well, that's every time you recite an election that was a year ago or two years ago, you're missing, you're missing the moment, right? Like trends continue, Jack. They don't just stop and freeze in time. And things don't occur in a vacuum where you reach out. borders like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Unbelievably not. Right. This is the tri-state area we're talking about.

And we talked a lot about this, Rich, where you would look in the last, in 2024, where you would look at different trends from like Wisconsin and you would apply it to this state because the kind of the trends follow in this realignment period that we're all living through. Jack was asking you about New Jersey to PA to. Well, it's, yeah, it's like so and just as a guy from PA, you know, I saw this shift in Pennsylvania and then you go over to New Jersey. and you realize that, okay, sure, right? You know, North Jersey, you're going to have more Giants fans.

You know, we're not going to be rooting for the same teams necessarily. But on a political level, these are the type of people. You got a lot of families. They join the police force. They join the fire department. They've got nice civic associations. It just reminds me a lot of like Pennsylvania when I'm there in a way that Northern Virginia just does not.

It's white color. Obviously, you have a lot of like Mamdani style, Gimmie Grins that are living in Northern Virginia, right now. It's a totally different dynamic. But so these trends that we saw across, and by the way, the deindustrialization trends that we saw across Pennsylvania have also affected New Jersey. And so that's why the same economic and political trends will affect the same area. So that gives Trump a bucket to, or excuse me, gives Trump and Chittarelli buckets to be able to dig into on the Democrat side that you just don't have in Virginia. Yeah, that's 100% correct. You

Look at a place like Bucks County, and I'll get even more specific. Buckingham, you have lower one. Buck County, which flipped. Yeah, which flipped at the same time that Morris County, New Jersey flipped. Why? Because everybody knows that Bucks County, especially that part of Bucks County that I just cited, is home to like a ton of these professional class, even from the pharmaceutical sector, a ton of these professional classes, but it's their ancestral ethnic Catholics, right?

and their polls, they're Italians, and Donald Trump was doing extremely well with them, and Morris County, and there was even a clip on Fox News and a diner in Marlborough, which is also very similar, that had been trending Democratic for a little bit, but then swung back because of Donald Trump, well, because of Donald Trump in 24, bringing them back, and also those lower prop voters who were even educated. I mean, this is pretty, pretty, it's not as simple as some people try to really drum it down to. It's a little bit more complicated, but you can use this area. It's a call it the tri-state area for a reason.

So you can use these different demographics to, you know, I wouldn't say superimposed. You can't just like a one-for-one superimposed job on them. But of course, if you see Hispanics in the boroughs or in certain areas of Pennsylvania, which was a huge story in 2024, when you see them shifting to Donald Trump, working class Hispanics, even then starting,

trickle in a Puerto Rican communities. If you see that occurring in southeastern Pennsylvania, then of course you're going to see it in Gloucestershire in New Jersey, right? We're talking about very similar areas with very similar communities, demographics, value systems, and more importantly, ancestry, their background, their voting histories, their beliefs. So I just think there's a lot of stale old thinking on the right. And, you know, I've been myself doing a little thinking. And coming to the conclusion that this, after 10 years of the MAGA movement, none of what we're saying right now should be a shock to anybody.

And I'm stunned that it still is. I really am. When I have people who are not nobody's folks, tell me, stop criticizing Donald Trump not showing up in New Jersey because we didn't want it to hurt. You know, we didn't want it to boost Democratic turnout and hurt Republican turnout. I'm thinking, what on earth are you doing in this position? because you don't understand what has been happening in this country in the last 10 years. You have zero clue. All right. So I meant to actually send you guys to chart.

It would have been perfect for this show. But these voters, we've been comparing with Republican identification, if you are a first-time Republican or a Trump voter, really. Republicans don't have first-time voters. Trump has first-time voters. MAGA has first-time voters. America First has first-time voters. Republicans don't have first-time voters.

Rich, before you at the break, you know, we are going to be. doing the super stream tonight i know you're i know you're in high demand but we'd love to get you on we'd love to get that chart up i will definitely come on by jack i think this is so critical and so important and we have to we have to be on because people don't realize that rich and i are wearing the same shirt today get out of here it's literally the same exact shirt that is the same shirt 100% listen uh hopefully it's hopefully it's not like democrat blue hopefully it's like no it's purple like new jersey yeah yeah yeah it's more like well listen rich rich so this is my this is my glass half full take on everything i believe that republican voters because just the huge amount of attention from a media

perspective cultural perspective on presidential races that that you do tend to we're going to we're even if we're the low prop party now we're going to we're going to narrow that that gap that turnout gap for presidential whether it's jd or whoever in 28 2028 and i'll say this glass half full we're playing on their turf, New Jersey, Virginia, New York City. These are areas that we don't dominate. We have to be honest about that. And the fact that we have them on their heels and we're playing offense, I still am going to take that as positive.

Now, we're not done, but it is what it is. Rich Barris, we'll see you tonight, my friend. All the best. Take care, guys. Welcome to the show. Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman, it's an honor to have you. and it's the first time we've had you back since everything happened.

So, you know, please, you know, the floor is yours to remember Charlie is however you want. Well, happy warrior, fighting for the truth. I don't know why I was doing an interview shortly after the tragic taking of his life. And I said in that interview, Charlie lived at that verse, 2 Timothy 4-7, fight the good fight, finish the course, keep the faith. Paul tells that to the young guy Timothy, and Charlie was the young guy. Timothy who was who lived that verse and he did it with a smile on his face he did it in a way where he conveyed the truth um and um set the example that that that i think we conservatives uh republicans

uh just americans everybody should follow um so that that's what my our daughter i think i should i don't know where i should is i may have i was on doing a fox interview but um our youngest daughter who's the same age as charlie maybe a year older uh she sent me a text the day that had happened and she said, this is tragic, certainly for Charlie's family, but also for our generation, he was our limb ball. And I thought that's a good way to say it. Maybe other people said the same thing, but I know that day when I got that text from Jesse, she actually lives overseas. I thought that was a good way to put it. So he was a good man. Well, I mean, that's a great honor. I remember people asked what Charlie wanted to do with his future, if he's going to run for president. Well, I mean, I had

those conversations over the year, years with Charlie's well. And one time I asked him, I said, do you, you know, you want to be this? You want to be Rush Limbaugh. I forget what I, the alternative. I think it was some sort of political leader. Yeah. And he said, I want to be, I want to be more like Rush Limbaugh. And Rush and Charlie were great friends. Rush was actually a seven-figure donor to Turning Point USA, if you believe me. No kidding. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. His wife Catherine gave us permission to disclose that after Rush's passing. And, yeah, anyway. ways. You and Charlie were great friends

and you were close allies and you know, it's a year to have you back on the show and today is Election Day. Today is Election Day Congressman and, you know, all across the country, especially on the East Coast, but we have a race here in Mesa. We've got Prop 50 in California. Everybody get out

to the polls. You know, what are you watching? What are you looking for and what's your message to Republican Conservatives, Independent, leaning right kind of voters? What's your message? Well, I guess what I'm really watching is probably the New York, New Jersey area. Because, you know, this this mom-dani guy is, you know, he's a socialist. So I want to see what happens there. It looks like he's going to prevail. I hope not,

but it looks like he's going to. I kind of want to see what those margins are. But I think, as many people have said, that sort of tells you where the Democrat Party is today, if, in fact, he does go ahead and win this mayor's race in our, in our great city, New York City. And then right next door, to see if Chittarelli can pull this off. And people are saying it's close. I hope Mr. Chittarelli wins. I think it's interesting. By the way, Jack Chittarelli,

if that isn't like when you see him, hear him talk, look at him, hear his name. If that isn't in New Jersey, just, you know, personified. I don't know what is. He just fit the, totally, yeah, that's the right word, totally New Jersey. So I hope he pulls it off. He's, seems to me like I've never met him personally,

but it seems to me like a total common sense kind of guy that you kind of want running your state. So I'm kind of watching those too. I think it looks tough in California for us, unfortunately. I hope not. I hope we defeat Prop 50 because if we lose that one, we're going to lose probably some good members of Congress, some really good members like Mr. Kylie, good member, Daryl Issa.

They're all going to have tougher races and they're friends of mine. So I hope we prevail, but it doesn't look great. Well, it's going to put a lot of pressure on states like Indiana to get their act together. Ohio, obviously the redistricting. fights will continue on. Even with a ceasefire now in place, the people of Israel continue to pray for healing from the deep wounds of terrorism and war, pain that touches each and every person in the

Holy Land. But the journey to healing and restoration has only just begun, and it's far from over, sadly. Never has the bridge between Christians and Jews been tested as it has since October 7th. But after two years of prayer and tangible acts of love, that bridge stands stronger than ever before. God is miraculously fulfilling his plan to unite Christians and Jews for his divine purpose. These are prophetic times, and together with the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, we can take part. United, we can do the holy work of providing food for the hungry, care for the elderly, and healing for the wounded. Your prayers and your support help restore hope

and strength throughout Israel. Let us answer this call together and be a light in the darkness. To learn more, visit IFCJ.org. That's I.F.C.J.org. IFC.org. IFCJ.org. You mentioned New York and the emergence of Mom Donnie. And it's interesting. I want to play this clip. It's 175.

Get it ready. He's asked to explain the difference between Democrat and Democrat socialist and a communist. So let's hear his answer. How have you respond to the other side? 175. How do you respond to that when somebody comes up to you? I can't vote for you because you're a communist. I say there are reasons you might not want to vote for me.

but let's be honest about my politics. I'm a Democratic socialist, no matter how many times President Trump calls me otherwise. Yeah, explain the difference. What is the difference between a Democrat, a Democratic socialist, and a communist? Well, I'm a Democratic socialist who's also a Democrat. Right. And when I say I'm a Democratic socialist, I explain it in the words of Dr. King from decades ago, who said that call it democracy or call it Democratic socialism,

there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country. Congressman, your reaction. Well, it sounds like socialism. I don't, you can put the, you can put the word Democrat in front of it, but it sounds like socialism to me. If you're got a distribution of wealth taken from one given to another, I always tell people, 40 years ago, almost 40 years ago, I had the opportunity to compete in the Soviet Union. And when you go to places like that, you thank the good Lord you live here. And I remember walking into stores in socialist Russia, the, you know, Socialist Republic of Russia,

whatever, the USSR, and there was nothing on the shelves. Like, that's what happens when you. you go down that road. And the things he's promising, I think he's even talked about government-run stores. So, like, I saw government-run stores in Russia, and there was nothing to purchase. So, yeah, you don't want, we don't want that. Sounds great. There was a great piece in the journal today where I talked about, you know, socialism and capitalism. Socialism sounds great, never works. Capitalism may not sound the best right when you first hear it, but it works out. It's a much, much better system where you actually embrace freedom and property and everything else.

So, yeah, he can put the word Democrat in front of it, but it sounds to me like he's just a socialist. Well, I agree. I will give him credit where it's due that he has been focusing on domestic issues, right? We saw that in the debate, the Democratic primary debate, where, you know, he's saying, I'm going to stay right here. He ended up lying, of course. He went to Uganda. But it doesn't matter. The point is we got to stay focused on domestic issues. We're in the middle of this shutdown right now, Congressman. You know, is there any hope of getting out of this? What do you see on the horizon here? Because we've got not only we got the whole debate about snap benefits, it looks like the president's going to be forced by a judge's ruling to pay out those snap benefits using other funds.

We've also got air traffic controller situations. We've got another paycheck for our military November 15th. What are we seeing? What are you hearing? Well, it sounds like there's some movement. in the Senate to actually get the government open again, which of course is needed.

So I think that could happen. There's maybe a promise of some vote on these Obamacare, you know, subsidies, which, by the way, the Democrats made that the focus of their ridiculous shutdown. Because remember, never forget the facts, Chuck Schumer voted for this six months ago. The real debate is

Chuck Schumer against Chuck Schumer. He voted for it six months ago, encouraged the senators to do so, Democrat senators do so. And now he won't because they say, oh, we got to We've got to extend this expansion of Obamacare and continue subsidizing the insurance companies. And I always point out, remember, everything they told us about Obamacare was a lie. They said, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. You like your doctor, keep your doctor.

Premiums will go down. President Obama even told us premiums will go down on average $1,500. Well, none of that worked out, and it was so bad that they had to keep subsidizing and expanding the subsidy. So now they want to continue that again, and it just makes no sense. but the simplest way for it is for Chuck Schumer to just do what he did six months ago and vote for this. They're talking about giving them a vote on the subsidy issue. If they

open the government, we'll see how this all shakes out. And then finally the other thing I would just add, because you mentioned this, this food stamp issue, 42 million Americans. Greatest country in history, 42 million America, well, many of them aren't Americans. They're here, there are some kind of

people here on a visa or aren't citizens of our country. But 42 million people, that's larger than the entire population. of Canada. That's one-eighth of our entire population. Really? That many people in this great country, the greatest nation ever, need help from the taxpayer just to get food. That's a problem in and of itself that I think we need to address. And part of it, I think, is the work requirement we put in the big, beautiful bill, which hopefully will start helping everybody. Yeah, no, we talked a lot about food stamps on this show because there's a lot of fraud,

and there's a lot of abuse and larger problem is that when people get addicted to these programs, you can't ever get them off. And that's not the way forward either. Really quick here, Congressman, I want to address this. You have referred John Brennan, former CIA director, to the DOJ for criminal prosecution. Two minutes left in the segment, Congressman. Tell us what's going on here. You're not supposed to lie, but you're definitely not supposed to lie when you're under oath talking to Congress. it looks like that's exactly what John Brennan did. He told us in a deposition in the last Congress, he told us that he did not want the dossier,

the crazy Russian dossier we've all heard about. He didn't want it included in the intelligence community assessment, pushed against having it in there. But then Tulsi Gabbard declassifies a report from the House Intelligence Committee from several years ago where it says exactly the opposite. In there it says he actually wanted it in the intelligence community assessment. And they relate a story where a CIA official comes up to

Mr. Brennan and says, director, this dossier doesn't hold up. There's no underlying intelligence to support the claims of this foreigner Christopher Steele who wrote this thing. It doesn't work. Brennan's response was, yeah, but doesn't it ring true? I think fully displaying his motivation about him wanting to get President Trump and go after him and putting it in this intelligence community assessment, which was the report that they changed between Election Day 2016 and inauguration day of January 2017. So that's why we referred him. You're not supposed to come in and lie to Congress when you're under oath. It looks like that's what he did. And when you couple it with everything else, we know about what Brennan and Clapper and they all did, right when President

Trump was going from winning the election to being sworn in as the next president, it's pretty darn bad. And that's why we send it. We'll see what the attorney general and the Justice Department do. Well, listen, Congressman, thank you for staying on that story. I think I speak for the audience when I say we want justice and we want accountability. When they talk about the big lie, this was the real big lie. This was the actual big lie. And they tried to distract us from it. They tried to take away President Trump's first term because of this.

We do not forget. It's a great way to say. Yeah. President Trump fought through it. He fought through it admirably. I don't know if anybody else could have done what he did, but he did. And we're grateful to him. Congressman, God bless you.

Thank you for coming on in honoring Charlie the way that you did. and stay on it. We'll have you back on again soon. Thank you. You bet. Thank you, Andrew. We have Cliff Maloney in New Jersey. I'm just going to let you Tasty Cakes.

The Tasty Cakes crew handle this. Cliff, welcome to the show. Where are you at? We will convert you, Andrew. You're the preservative crew. You will be converted. I'm splitting all my time, just jet-set in between Jersey, PA, Jersey, PA. I'm actually in PA at the moment.

moment, but just kind of been back and forward. No time to rest here, folks. We got some elections to win. Cliff, what are you guys, what are you eating on the table behind you, by the way? I see that. What is that? Is that Chick-fil-A? Let's see. They got some Chick-fil-A. They had some Wawa iced tea. We've got a sheet down the road, so there's some battles. But we're filling up with some old PA, hearty food, if you will. That's, that's election fuel right there. All right. So, Cliff, doors win wars. You guys are out knocking lots and lots of doors. You're going hit a million today? Is that, is that right? I'm an announcing here on the show. As of about 10 minutes ago, we now are across one million doors that is 500,000 in New Jersey and 500,000 in PA in our effort

to build the red wall. So honored to come on the show to say that. We'll see where we end up. We're not stopping, right? We don't hit a million and stop. So we're going to go until 8 p.m. when polls close in both PA and Jersey. And look, I don't want to be the best. fair or bad news, but the numbers are good, but they're not great, fellas. And I think it's on us, to be honest, with the audience. If we have good numbers, we're not going to win Jersey. We need great record turnouts. As Jack Posovic was tweeting, we need every grandmom in New Jersey to show up to the polls right now. But we're going to continue pushing it, but I just want to make sure that we do sound the alarm. Full grandma activation across New Jersey right now. Yeah, I mean, and really it's

It's raising a bigger point of, you know, how a Republican is going to really start, I guess, activating the way that we need to in off-cycle elections, right? And, you know, we saw this in Wisconsin last year or earlier this year, and it was a disappointment. We're going to have to fix this problem. But again, I just want to say, you know, New Jersey is a fight that they expect to win. So if we pull this out, big news. I joke with everybody that there's no such thing as an off year, right? we thought last year was this huge paramount year, and then all of a sudden we find ourselves, you know, when you have some success, people call you, say, hey, how do we do that in our state?

But obviously, we were doubling down on PA, and as we've said from the beginning, you know, if Pennsylvania becomes a red wall, it pretty much makes it impossible for Democrats to figure out the math to win across the country. But yeah, look, we're out here grinding. As Charlie would say, knocked out extra door. We know that the ground game works. But yeah, you're right, solving the problem for how we get Republicans activated in these off-year elections. I mean, that's the name of the game. And look, we're making progress. I want to be clear with everybody.

Six months ago, none of us thought Jersey was in play, right? Jack Posobach, I'll give him a lot of credit. Jack was one of the guys that do. We need to fight. Like, we need to do these programs. We need to have a battle here, especially in the wake of Charlie's tragedy. Like, we need something to get involved with. So the fact that this is even competitive is a very good sign.

And the numbers are this. If Jack wins election day, just election day voting by roughly 300,000, maybe even 290,000, he could still win this race. Like, he's in the hunt. And a couple of years ago, you know, four years ago, he won it by just over 200,000. So we just need turnout. The voters are there. Okay, we've done the work with early voting. We have a 5% increase in early voting when you compare this year to four years ago on where the Republicans are.

So we've done a lot of that vote by mail and early voting. But right now, we need every Republican in New Jersey to get out there, whether it's one of the 57,000, they have a mailing ballot sitting there that they haven't returned, or if it's Election Day voted, we need you out there. And I saw that earlier on social media. There's 57,000 New Jersey Republicans that have a vote-by-mail ballot sitting somewhere at their home. If that's you listening right now, what's the instruction? You take that piece of paper and you take it into the polling place? or if you just go into the polling place you're going to be taken care of, explain.

Oh, so it's very specific in New Jersey. You cannot take it in and try to surrender your ballot. If you do that, you're going to have probably them try to make you vote provisionally. What you should do is fill out the ballot immediately and either go to a drop box or go to the county office where you can hand it in. So that is the instruction of those 57,000 folks.

Remember, Jack Chitterill only lost New Jersey by 84,000 votes four years ago. Okay, those 50,000. thousand people could be the difference in this election take your ballot fill it out go handed in either a drop location or the actual county office we need you the republic need you yeah well said i'm glad thank you for being very specific there cliff that's important those local rules are important let's go ahead and play a cup from charlie as a little pump me up from the rnc in 2024 in wisconsin another swing state 181
