So there's Joe Biden bragging about getting the prosecutor fired. That was looking into his son. But the most interesting part of that clip that I forgot about is he visited Kiev, or he calls it Kiev, 12 or 13 times. That's a lot of visits for a sitting vice president. I mean, you don't visit Cincinnati or Columbus 12 or 13 times, but you're visiting Kiev 12 or 13 times. And yet that just happens to be the one country that Hunter Biden is heavily involved in. And so just looking at this as logically and as based in reason as we possibly can, you have a sitting vice president with a cocaine addict son who has very little skills that he would be able to offer the world. And I don't say that in any other way except factually. The skill that he has is being able to throw around his father's name to get access to. And what is he able to get done? He looks at the geopolitical landscape and he says, what countries is my father in charge of? His father's own words, Ukraine. And he just happens to go sit on the board of the oil natural gas company that his father oversees where he visits 12 or 13 times. And we're supposed to believe that this meeting that has now been corroborated through an email into Hunter Biden that he met with the sitting Vice president of the United States While in Washington D.C. we are now supposed to believe that there was no asks for favors, that there was no policy discussions, that there was no, hey, can you please do this? Can you get this prosecutor fired, please, can you reappropriate some American foreign aid for natural gas development, whatever those conversations might have been? And yet Joe Biden, bragmut the prosecutor is one thing, but the deeper point here is that Hunter Biden most likely went foreign board shopping. What foreign board wouldn't want Hunter Biden to be involved when you deal in the second and the third world in these very corrupt governments? People that have worked in the agency have told me that they have no understanding of how to do politics except through a corrupt lens. It is a question of can you spend the money, can you get the deals, can you use centralized power to make yourself richer? That's exactly what the Ukrainians were doing here and the Bidens went along with it. If Joe Biden had a millimeter of integrity, he would have said, hunter, get off this board. What are you doing? Go to drug recovery. Take responsibility for your life. You know, go sit on some think tank board. When is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs?

And here's what I think President Trump should do with this Ignore Biden. This is where some people will disagree with me. We are less than three weeks out to the presidential election. We are 20 days out. 20 days out. And the more money that is being spent on television, radio, digital ads against Joe Biden, probably over $100 million if you count all the outside groups and Trump's campaign, the more popular and more favorable Joe Biden gets. I traveled the country in 2016 with Donald Trump Jr. In my personal capacity as a bag carrier, Diet Coke retriever was heavily involved in a lot of different things. And one thing I saw more than Trump signs was Hillary for prison signs. There was a grassroots uniform agreed upon disgust for Hillary Clinton, the way she talked, her attitude, the way she presented her policies. The entire Clinton machine felt and appeared the worst of the ruling class, almost like they wanted to again be in charge of the unelected government in our country. They were craven opportunists. Joe Biden, for whatever reason, and we can speculate and we can conjecture, despite these revelations today, despite his son getting phenomenally rich, despite all of the unearthing of corruption that has been done by Peter Schweitzer and so many other people is only getting more popular. Real Clear Politics average, according to Fox News, has Joe Biden plus 17 in favorables. Reuters 16 8 in the POLITICO Morning Consult poll. These are all within the last couple weeks. So right now, as a Trump supporter and a friend of the president, I'm telling you, it's not working. Joe Biden's actually not going to become president. He might get sworn in ceremoniously, but it's going to be a shadow government and he might not Even complete his entire term. So as tempting as it is to spend the rest of our program and the rest of our advocacy and activism talking about Joe Biden and Ukraine in emails? People don't care. And you might say, oh, no, no, no, this one revelation is going to win it over. It's not. I'm just telling you right now, we're the ones knocking on tens of thousands of doors at Turning Point Action. We are the ones talking to real voters. They don't care about Joe Biden's son's emails, about setting up a meeting with some foreign diplomat. It's not going to move the dial. And I think it's really tempting to do this. I think that a lot of people are going to do good work on this. I think a lot of the cable networks are going to have segments on this and I think that's fine. But is it going to win persuadable voters in the states that matter to get President Trump four more years? No, it will not. It won't. It's too heady, it's too complex. It takes too many names that are hard to pronounce, too many different lines you have to draw together and people will disengage and they'll say, what are you going to do to expand my earnings or to improve my economic well being, my material well being or stop the virus or save my country? So President Donald Trump, in my personal opinion, based on talking to thousands of people and receiving tens of thousands of messages and notices on social media and our podcast and you guys can always email us freedom@charlie kirk.com and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Take that we have President Donald Trump has to ignore Joe Biden. It's very tempting to make this all about Joe Biden because of these revelations and because he's in the top of the ticket. But he's not actually going to be president. You see, Joe Biden has plus 17 favorables according to a FOX News poll. Kamala Harris, the last poll that was done that we can tell, has a negative 8 favorability rating and it's probably even lower than that. And remember, the favorable unfavorable numbers are even worse when she is just isolated herself. Remember, Bernie Sanders won her home state with 32.4% of the vote. She would not even won her home state. And I could tell you this from traveling the country back in 2016, seeing the Hillary for prison signs. I see zero grassroots homemade signs messaging against Joe Biden. There was against Obama, there was against Hillary. But there's none against Biden. I wish there was. We all know who Joe Biden is. We all know the values that he actually represents. We all know the deals that he cut. We know the unethical style of governance that he tolerated. However, my political philosophy is very simple. I want to win and I want them to lose. And if we are going to try to continue to make a non resonating argument that Joe Biden is actually a socialist and you don't, you don't understand, one more email revelation is going to win it for us. You're wrong. This is why President Trump should ignore Joe Biden completely and altogether. His favorables are going up. There's consolidation going around him and independence based on public polling and based on real conversations that I'm having. Real conversations that our forces on the ground are having. Before you discount it, we're actually talking to human beings at Turning Point Action. People don't hate Joe Biden. They are afraid of Kamala Harris though. Which is why President Donald Trump should execute the last 20 day pivot like this. Do an entire rally without mentioning Joe Biden. Say the Harris administration will take your guns away. The Harris administration will pack the courts saying those words, articulating the framework of who is actually in control. The Harris administration will get rid of the electoral college. The Harris administration will staff our government with California radicals. The Harris administration, forget Biden, it's not working. Biden is protected by an activist media. Biden has multi decades of goodwill and favor among senior voters and people in the middle. I think that the attacking Biden can be helpful with maybe ethnic minorities, maybe with black voters and Hispanic voters. But understand this. Kamala Harris is not even liked amongst the Democrat base trending on Twitter throughout the entire Democrat party was Kamala is a cop. She's not liked by Democrat activists, she's not liked by Democrat moderates. She's only liked by Democrat corporate donors. That's who love Kamala Harris because she's smart enough and she's sneaky enough and she's treacherous enough to be able to negotiate those deals. After the Vice presidential debate, Mike Pence swung the race much in Trump's direction with swing voters. The New York Times has gone out of their way to defend Senator Kamala Harris, but remember, on the day she suspended her campaign, she stood at 3.4%. That's it. Without winning a singular state, she dropped out before voting even began. The activist media has done everything it possibly can to paint Kamala Harris as a middle of the road, moderate Democrat we know that's not true. It is propaganda. It is time for President Trump to recognize and realize that Joe Biden is getting more popular the more he gets attacked. I have my guesses as to why that is Democrat consolidation. The ads he's running on television are terrific. Bloomberg is carpet bombing Trump on TV and radio, whatever. That's the state of affairs. Let's not be be wishful, let's be empirical, because we actually know who's in charge. A majority of independent voters do not believe that Joe Biden will finish out his entire term as president. So now it's time for every Republican and conservative out there to, yes, recognize that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden did all these sorts of things. We just started the program on all of that and then execute a new strategy. Who's actually going to be in control? Senator Kamala Harris, who is much younger, has a lot of energy and wants power a lot more than Joe Biden because Senator Kamala Harris unfavorable numbers are under water with swing voters. Senator Harris is looked, looked at as a radical, almost as a intersectional Hillary Clinton. And if we relentlessly attack Joe Biden for the next three weeks, Donald Trump might lose. I'm looking at these favorable unfavorable numbers. And again, I don't necessarily trust polling, but I do trust a lot of the data that we are collecting on the ground. And when that data on the ground harmonizes with some of this national public approval rating polling, I'm here telling you as not just a spectator, but someone in the arena, you have to have a change of strategy. And so here you have a unliked California liberal who's trying to win battleground Midwestern states, who has no charm, no charisma as a transactional machine politician from one of the least liked states. If you're a Midwesterner who has outwardly said that we should have the Green New Deal was the co sponsor of the Green New Deal that is one of the most pro abortion activists assailed Brett Kavanaugh. She's the most liberal US senator according to GovTrac, more so than even Bernie Sanders. She was the least likely to join bipartisan bills, according compared to Senate Democrats. And Manhattan Institute budget expert Brian Reedy has calculated that Harris has proposed a mind numbing $46 trillion in new spending. And if I could give some feedback based in the best spirit of President Donald Trump getting reelected to the Trump campaign. I don't talk to the Trump campaign. I run our own outside group. We do our own deal. But here's me talking publicly. I travel the country, I visit a new state almost every single day. And I asked our entire team at Turning Point Action to watch at least an hour of television and tell me the advertising that is being run. There is not one ad by the Trump campaign attacking Kamala Harris. Not one. They're the only ads that I've seen and I could be wrong, I could be incomplete in my survey of the landscape. And that's fine. I'm the first one to say I don't have a comprehensive view of all of it. But just based on anecdotal observation of our staff in the battleground states, from Arizona to Ohio to Michigan to Texas, you name it, we're still attacking Joe Biden as being clueless and lost. It's not working. Senior citizens are actually finding this to be offensive. The strategy recalibration has to be Kamala is going to be in charge. It's a Harris administration. She's the one that's going to radicalize our government and run solely against Kamala Harris. If we keep hitting Joe Biden the way we are, it is not going to move persuadables or swing voters in our direction. You guys have all seen Social Dilemma, Netflix. Well, maybe not Netflix because they're a pedophile network, but if you've seen Social Dilemma, which again, I'm not exactly sure how you square that. They talk about how tech insiders explain how social media is engineered to exploit users data for profit. They call it surveillance capitalism. Look, I'm cool with normal capitalism where I'm willing to participate in the transaction like every time I go to the store, buy food. But when my data is being harvested so tech billionaires can get even richer, that's where I draw the line. And that's why I put a layer of protection around my data.

ExpressVPN.com Charlie it's almost similar to those advertisements on TV where it's in the arms of angels with those animals that have been so poorly treated and you can't help but feel sympathy for them. Never underestimate the power of sympathy in the eyes of voters. Do not underestimate sympathy. And where we very well could have made an argument that Joe Biden was weak in the midst of a virus, sympathy is the primary reaction from the citizenry. And so the more we attack Joe Biden, the more sympathy amongst senior voters. I mean, the latest polls that come out of. And again, I don't take the polls at face value, but I do like polling trends. Polling trends, especially when the likely voters or the polling sample is more than 1500 people, then, yeah, there's some truth to that. It's not completely incorrect, but the more that we have orchestrated an onslaught of Joe Biden, the more his favorables have gone up. This entire campaign has to forget about Joe Biden's emails. That's for the Senate committee to look into, hopefully the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But there is one focus the next 20 days. It's, it's not about justice. It's not about Durham, it's not about Russia. It's not about any of those sorts of things. It's about winning. You don't win elections, you're out of power. It's that simple. The left understands this. The left understands this far better than conservatives do. But we have to make a good argument. So we have to win. Okay, hopefully good arguments will have us to win, but the good arguments we make against Joe Biden are not working. They're not, I know this on the ground. I'm talking to real people, not just behind a computer screen all day long telling you that this is the next big revelation and Michelle Obama is going to be the candidate. Not happening. Didn't happen back in April or May, people said Joe Biden will never debate. Joe Biden will actually get dropped out. They're going to switch him out at the convention. He said, you're probably wrong. He said, look at his favorables. They can run the ball. They can wait for the time to go out. What did surprise me, though, and it shows you that probably Nancy Pelosi was heavily involved in this selection process because she herself is running her own kind of godfather, pseudo Democrat power ring within the Democrat Party. Is the selection of Kamala Harris foolish by them? If I were to guess what they are saying in their circles, they can't believe that we have not gone harder against Kamala Harris. They can't believe it. It's actually an incredible political opening for us. You have an unlikable, power hungry, unpopular radical liberal, the most in the entire Senate. More than Bernie Sanders, more than Leahy, more than Sheldon Whitehouse with his boards. And yet we are not laying a glove on Senator Harris. You know who did? Mike Pence. That was the greatest moment of October for the Trump campaign. It just was. If I were calling the shots, which I'm not, I would convert all my advertising on the negative side to Kamala Harris. I would change all the messaging to Senator Harris because she will be in charge if Joe Biden wins this election, she will become president. At some point they'll either blackmail Biden because of all these emails that have come out. And that's maybe how you can connect the email story. Quite honestly, if you feel so compelled to make an argument around the email story, which again, it is a big deal legally. Let me be very clear. What is a big deal legally is not always a big deal politically. Sometimes people don't care, like, ah, it's all so much noise, you're probably overblowing it. I like Biden's ads and whatever. There's a lot of people like that. However, what stops independent and moderate voters in their tracks is the idea of a California cackling, gun grabbing, leftist Marxist running our government. They don't like that. And you look at Joe Biden's ads, do you know who's missing from Joe Biden's ads? Kamala Harris. You see, the Biden campaign, they don't do anything by mistake. Now if they lose, it will be the true end of technocratic politics. It will if they lose because it is the most micromanaged campaign in the history of politics. Everything is poll tested, everything is instantaneously analyzed. They do nothing by mistake. Nothing. It is the ultimate run out the clock strategy. It might work, it might not work. However, the one thing that they know what they're doing on is who to promote and who not to promote. There are zero advertisements featuring Kamala Harris. Why? Because she's so unpopular. The Biden campaign is running from her like a house on fire. If the Biden campaign doesn't want to embrace her, then shouldn't we attack her? If the Biden campaign is seeing the unfavorables that we're seeing. Why are we not going all in in the heir apparent co president that would run our government if Biden stumbles into the presidency?
