I am back in the chair. And no, I'm not yet in the studio. I am broadcasting from my home studio in my library. And, you know, a lot of you guys were so sweet last week. You were emailing us, Charlie, hope you're enjoying your vacation. Charlie, hope you're enjoying your time off. Charlie, hope you went to somewhere nice and I did enjoy last week. but it was not a vacation. I was on assignment for the most important thing that one can do except giving your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We, Erica and I and our family were celebrating the birth of our son, children are a gift from the Lord and we were celebrating. And so we have been very, sleep deprived so it's not exactly been let's just say going down the cobblestone Lucas plus we have our other little one our 20 month old who is running around and causing all sorts of havoc but I think we have a picture show up on screen here and I got to just be honest it is the the most important most fulfilling most challenging thing I have ever done and we have ever done and we are just we are filled with so much joy and thrilled and he's super healthy praise God and Erica's just doing amazing And Erica did so so well. I got to be honest. There was a lot going into that whole situation and we're going to keep that private. And we're a very private family in the sense where we don't like necessarily always sharing about family stuff. And we wanted to give a whole week just to kind of let things settle. And as you spend a lot of time when you have a child just kind of sitting and thinking and not sleeping, And listening to podcasts and you're looking at this unbelievably innocent life, which by the way, he was a life in the womb too. And that's what's just so amazing is that it goes, it's not all sudden that the human life just kind of It doesn't become magically a human life as soon as the baby exits the womb. It's like life in the womb, life outside of the womb, same characteristics, same heartbeat, all of it. So I'd love to have a pro-bortion fanatic explain that. However, you look at this totally innocent life that is just entered the world. And you say, my goodness, what are we, what are we getting them? We're destroying this beautiful country, and not to mention the $35 trillion in debt, the wide open border, and it should convict you to fight harder. It should convict all of us when you look at what we are handing down. We are stealing their inheritance, while they're still not even able to talk and able to know anything about what's going on in the world around them. We are robbing them, I believe it's one of the most, it is one of the great actions of immorality that we've ever seen. It is generational theft and it's really bad right now for generation Z. I mean, I think they call it what generation alpha is that right? Generation alpha or whatever generation he's in. It is outright highway robbery. This is the bandit class. That's what these people are. The ruling class has become the bandit class and they steal for a living. They steal their rights. They steal the sovereignty of the country. They steal the fiscal and financial solvency of this nation. And it convicts us to fight. It convicts us to fight harder. And so, yes, I was off last week. Andrew did an amazing job. I want to shout out Andrew and the entire team. Daisy I heard went on the program too. She did very, very well. And I was getting, you know, all these people texted me. Some people said, Charlie, hope you're enjoying your vacation. Andrew is doing so great. I said, okay, well, you know, notification, but I'm really glad the team is doing really well. And so praise God, glory be to God, and it's not easy. And I want to just be very clear about that. The having children is challenging, but it is infinitely fulfilling. It is a daily grind and a daily challenge. And it realized you're not the most important thing in the world. It having children is the antidote to narcissism. If you have any sort of narcissistic self-indulgent on the most important thing in the world, that dies as soon as you have a child. And you died of yourself and honestly, I think that's a really beautiful thing. I think it's missing in our country. I think that, well, first of all, we are now doing, Eric and I are now officially doing our part to reverse the fertility crisis, doing a small part. I hope everyone else plays your role too because we are now below replacement levels. It is the lowest fertility rate in American history. And Family is the cornerstone of any civilization. But I look around and everything is all about me. It's about I and it's not about duty. It's not about obligation. Having children by definition makes you recognize and realize that I'm not as important as I might have thought I once was. And I mean, Jesus says, you must take up your cross daily. I could tell you this, having children will help you get there. You don't get all the sleep you want to get. You don't get all that fun times at your friends. I mean, don't get me wrong. You get real joy. You have more fun raising kids than like going up to the bar and doing whatever, you know, the late 20 something and early 30 somethings, too. But the fulfilling things are the most challenging things. And you go on an adventure. An adventure that is rich in fulfillment. An adventure that nourishes your soul. A very close friend of mine there. They have a mother-in-law that's passing away, unfortunately. All she thought about in her last couple of weeks and days, the only thing was her family. And I've seen this playout time and time again, where people at the end of life and it's not about, wow, you know, I'm so glad that I visited Vienna that second time. Like, okay, that's fine, it's great. No, it's, did you? Were you fruitful and multiply? And I told you, in your sense, some of your new audience have difficulty having kids. There's a real fertility crisis and a growing poison to this country, a separate issue. I understand some of you have not been able to find a partner, not the point. But those of you that are able to have children and don't have those issues and you choose not to. I think you're making a big mistake. And I'm not just saying a mistake for the country to civilization. I think that you're going to be at the end of life. And what you're going to have like a bunch of trinkets or a bunch of like really cool Instagram posts. And you build a repository of shared memories and experiences with only your family or wife and your kids. You will only share that much of your life with those closest to you. It's so incredibly worthwhile and you build a legacy. And you start worrying about stuff when you're a parent that you don't worry about otherwise. It keeps you on edge and you're not always able to relax and have that work-life balance. It's a whole bunch of trash. But you do something that outlives you. And honestly, it's good for the country and good for the civilization. You want to know it's so simple. You want to know how we say the country. We raise more good people. You say the country. If we raise more good people than bad people, more righteous people, people that love the Lord and love liberty and love our nation, then we win. It's simple math. So if the good people no longer have children, or if the good people have a lot of children, well, then that's a predictive element of the country going to live in. Kids and having children reframes everything and how you think about society. For example, when you go to the hospital, all of a sudden you're like, well, why is this overrun by your legals? Why don't I get prioritization? You think about crime, you think about schools, you think about food, you think about movies, you think about the politics of the city. And the world really belongs to the people who show up for it. And I'm not anyway, you know, trying to make you feel bad if the Lord did not bless you with children. In fact, there is a script, you'll find you that God has a special heart for the childless, the faithful and the childless God has a special heart for. I totally get that. But if you are in a place where you say, I can, but I choose not to, or you're like, one of these weird girls that like get your tubes tied, like at 28 because you're like, I'm not going to have children. Okay, that's a big problem. I really think so. And I think that having children is good for the society, civilization and good for you. And so children are a gift from the Lord, and we need to celebrate that more. And we need to be honest, it's not easy, but it is fulfilling. And it is, it pleases the Lord when you raise children. So I encourage all of you to have more kids and to celebrate life coming into this world. Are you ready to lose weight? But not sure where to start. I understand. I was right where you are two years ago. Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program. First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and is science based. Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition. There is so much more. They know that 90% of permanent change comes in the mind. and they're working eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place. There's no shortcuts, pills or injections, just salad, science-based nutrition, and behavior change, and finally, a probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds. Look, they're amazing. If you want to lose weight, you got to go to myphdweightloss.com. I was just texting with Dr. Ashley Lucas today. If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 8646441900. Go online at myphdweightloss.com. Do what I did, and what hundreds of my listeners have done in call today, 8646441900. I recommend their program, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition. Her program is based on years of research and science-based. Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition, but it's so much more. With my PhD weight loss.com, my PhD weight loss.com, Glat646441900, I lost over 30 pounds. Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American, check it out, my PhD weight loss.com. I do want to read this email. I think it's very touching. And I'm not trying to be cruel or to make anyone feel bad. I just want to celebrate life coming into the world, which we don't should also read, obviously. But I want to get to the debates. I have a lot to say about this debate news, because I missed all of that last week. And I have several thoughts that might actually take up the entire hour. And then I also want to talk about all the recent vaccine news, because I think it ties in with Trump and RFK. So I'm kind of playing catch up here. However, I want to just read this email. Congratulations, Charlie. It's your wife. It is true about the later years in life. I decided to be a pediatrician rather than marriage and children. I felt it was God's will, but now I'm 66 years old. My parents are gone. I have no family at all. This is really when I hit women who choose career over children. I saw some women who tried both, but children and family suffered. I wish I had done it differently. I've many years ahead of me, but hopefully it'll be without family and loved ones. Hopefully it will be without family and loved ones. Friends only go so far and fill in this space. I think she says it will be with, so I think which month's right. Susan, Susan, God is a plan for you. And I hear your regret and your voice, but it's not too late to help other people there, children, or not too late to do something impactful. The next generation, the fact you're watching this program and care about children and your pediatrician. I know you've done a lot of good. I only read that on air so that people can hear that because I think you would want that lament shared. Okay, so the debates. So yesterday and last week, It's getting so many text messages from people. They said, Charlie, what do you think about the fact that Donald Trump was agreeing to debate and agreeing to debate? I said, guys, I'm a little busy right now, and handling a couple of things, managing a couple of stuff. But I, a lot of thoughts on this. And so I was very encouraged by the fact that out of nowhere, Joe Biden takes up Donald Trump on his longstanding offer to debate. This is the first and immediate takeaway that I think most people are missing. It is now proven that the internal polling in the Biden campaign means he knows he's losing. This means that Joe Biden's own data is showing that he is losing. This shows that Joe Biden knows that his own internal tracking is not on pace. And if the election will help today, Joe Biden does not feel good about his chances. There is no other reason why Joe Biden out of nowhere would agree to go into debate Donald Trump. A confident campaign does not engage into debates. The best example of this is Donald Trump. not debating in the Republican primary this last year. It was the right move for Donald Trump. I'm up 20 or 30 points on these people. I don't need to debate them. So the first takeaway should be unbelievably encouraging for you because we have been just bombarded with negative news and negative news and do we have a chance? Not only do we have a chance, but Joe Biden agreeing For four debates with Donald Trump goes to show that Joe Biden believes he needs to take a risk. Biden needs to take a risk and he needs to shake it up. And Biden is the one who needs to roll the dice and introduce some chaos. Now I'm going to walk through it this into great detail because I believe that this is largely a trend. It's a trap that I think that Donald Trump can use against them. I think Donald Trump can navigate. I think Donald Trump can come out triumphant, but we must be very clear. This is not just all roses and beautiful times ahead. This is a thicket and a thorn. It's a thicket of traps. It is going to be an ambush campaign by the Biden campaign via CNN. However, Understand, on Sunday of last week that New York Times Santa pole came out that showed Donald Trump up like 13 in Nevada and 7 points in Arizona and 6 points in Georgia. And we said, boy, these numbers, there's no way they're true. And then 40 hours later, Joe Biden said, how many, how many debates can we agree to? That means that Joe Biden has consistent internal polling now for those who do not know. Internal campaign polling is far more accurate than the publicized polls from news agencies. Now, I run an outside group turning point action. So I'm not allowed to even learn about internal polling. But back when I used to not run an outside group and way back when five, six, 10 years ago, I would always ask campaigns, what do your internals show? And just so you understand Donald Trump and Joe Biden will spend tens of millions of dollars on just polling. They have in-house posters that all they're doing is they're constantly pulling. You might say, well, why are they doing that? Well, because they want to know how they're tracking in certain states that this scandal or this new story impact voters, do we want to spend advertising money here? What door should we knock on? Measure twice cup once. Measure twice cup once. And so Fabrizio does all the polling for Donald Trump. I don't know who does all the polling for Joe Biden. But by a candidate's action, you can then get a window into the internal polling. This is one of the invisible things that having lots and lots of money gets you and Joe Biden has lots of money and less data. And that endless data that Joe Biden has was screening at him. And I'm going to tell you what that data irrefutably showed that I think every other show has been missing of it, listening to a lot of podcasts the last week. Look, for over 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian, conservative, wireless provider, the only. When I say only, trust me, they are the only one.

So let's talk about just the unusual aspect of this. That there's a summer debate. Now, Blake can fact check me in my lifetime. I can say certainly there's never been a summer debate. There's never been at the debate before like September 10th in modern a presidential debate history. That's number one. Number two, I don't think there's ever been a summer debate. Maybe boy. I mean, the Lincoln Douglas debates were in presidential debates. But it's as usually it's always after the convention. So debates were traditionally always late because remember we used to have election day and not election month. This is pre-convention. And this side steps the presidential commission on debates. This is just a cable television spectacle. So let me tell you what Joe Biden's data is screaming at him. Joe Biden's data is screaming this. That he's doing poorly. Number one. that Joe Biden is doing poorly. No spin, no BS, Joe Biden is unpopular. Donald Trump is popular. The trials are not working. The law fair is not working. Joe Biden waited for the Alvin Bragg trial to get going before he agreed to any debates. This is all harmonized. There is synchronicity here where Joe Biden needed to wait to say, huh, is there are his numbers going to go down because he's sitting in a courthouse in New York? Nope. is Donald Trump going to become less popular because of the storm again is like nope is Donald Trump going to be hurt by the fact that he can't campaign and hasn't visited Arizona in like a year and a half nope So Joe Biden again, not him, but his team. Let me be very close. When I say Joe Biden, I mean the Kabul. I mean the ruling class. I mean the regime. So the Joe Biden regime was analyzing the state of analyzing the state of analyzing the state of analyzing the state of and they realized that the law fair not working. And remember two weeks ago, we got all that news of motions that dismiss and delayed without any further notice. And the documents case that I could have come in and Jack Smith has to have an evidentiary hearing. And so all the law fair stuff that could hurt Donald Trump's numbers, that all got put aside. So Joe Biden has been running out of tricks up his sleeve, but make no mistake. Don't be surprised if there is bird flu, cow flu, reptile flu, snake flu, rattlesnake flu, you know, something that's gonna come out of here. Lobster flu, you know, the lobster min and Maine are getting the flu from, you know, the mollusks that they're harvesting up there, that something's gonna happen, okay? So just understand that there's gonna be something that is gonna sweep over the nation. And they got some of their sleep. So Joe Biden sees two pieces of data. And the first piece of data, I think some people are highlighting, oh, yeah, Joe Biden is desperate. Therefore, he wants to debate, but the second piece of data that I think we must understand is that Joe Biden has evidence that leads him to believe. The fact that Donald Trump has been largely censored not on Twitter anymore. He's a lot back on, but it doesn't do it. They don't air his rallies on television anymore. That the memory of Donald Trump is far more popular than when people actually sometimes hear from Trump. Now, I don't necessarily think that's always true, but that's Joe Biden's big bet. Joe Biden's big bet is this. We need to get him on television as much as possible. We need to get, we need to get Donald Trump in a contentious debate format. Now, this could go either way. And we have to understand CNN is an ambush waiting to happen. That is not exactly going to be easy stuff. And understand Trump has been very successful using the breakouts of the trial as campaign moments, going to the race in Southern Florida, going to the Bodega, going to the Bronx, doing all of that. He has been amazing at creating these viral moments. And Joe Biden has had zero bump. In fact, the latest polls, which now we can say these polls have some accuracy, because if these polls didn't have some accuracy, they're outside of the margin for Joe Biden's machine to be able to make up for it. All the ballad chasing all the voter registration he is in crisis. So Joe Biden says, I'm not doing well. And my big plan to save my campaign is going to try to get Donald Trump on a debate stage earlier than later and to try to bait him. to interrupt me, to make him look as if he is not presidential, and people will say, OK, I might not like the way Joe Biden is doing, but I don't want to live under Donald Trump. And we have to go back to 2020. Again, Joe Biden is now broadcasting his entire campaign strategy. Sometimes to keep the stuff private or secret, Joe Biden, he doesn't have time to put things in secret anymore. And by the way, let's not make any, let's not, you know, fool yourself. This is unbelievably risky for Joe Biden too. I mean, Joe Biden could just flat out, just a combust. Remember Joe Biden, like yesterday called, you know, we got a bunch of erectionists taking over the country in a seriously, but not it. Now, an insurrectionist, he said erectionists, you know, on his teleprompteries says pause, the drug cocktail that he's going to put Joe Biden is going to walk up to there and they should just say, Joe Biden brought to you by Pfizer. Joe Biden brought to you by Mederna. Joe Biden brought to you by AstraZeneca. I mean, what they are pumping that guy full of is some sort of mixture of nor up in Ephraim and adrenaline and some stabilizer and they got like the cocktail of drugs. I want to meet that chemist by the way. That is responsible for the Joe Biden daily drug infusions. He's kind of got IV therapy going here. He's got all sorts of different stuff. Okay. So to risk for Joe Biden too, we have to We have to make sure that we acknowledge that. So the debates, Joe Biden thinks that you can get Donald Trump on TV. He's going to plummet in popularity. Well, not so fast, my friend. The only way this goes poorly for Trump, the only way, and I will I plan to call the president and tell him this. I plan to tell the campaign team. And I'm saying this publicly. The only way this goes bad is if you interrupt Joe Biden. That's the only one. I can say this as someone who has debated thousands and thousands of hours. No one likes an interruptor.

Period.

26:46 - 35:37

And in the first presidential debate, back in 2020, people say Donald Trump lost. First of all, he had COVID. We have to remember that. People say Donald Trump lost. And he wasn't 100%. He had COVID during the time. Because he interrupted. Now, remember, the rules say the mics will be off, even when it's not their turn. But CNN is going to try to do a double shot and show Donald Trump. He would just be angry, yelling off screen without even his mic. And then I'll probably even be worse. So just because the mics are cut doesn't mean that CNN would not try to maximize that as a way to hurt Trump. So the only way that I see this goes poorly is if Donald Trump gets angry because Joe Biden is a buffoon, he believes he should still be president, which is literally legitimate. and or he interrupts. Interruption could make Joe Biden look better. So when Joe Biden goes on and on and on, and he's muddling about how inflation is coming down and that the border is secure, it's okay. In my personal opinion, President Trump kind of does the, you know, the famous meme where he kind of looks up and he's kind of rolling his eyes perfectly fine. Or if he smiles, in fact, my advice with Donald Trump would be, don't be afraid to smile. Don't be afraid just to laugh. Don't be afraid just to shrug your shoulders. Allow your enemy to destroy himself while he's talking because here is why. It's not as if the American people have not had a steady dose of Joe Biden. Joe Biden's numbers will not go up and they will not go down if he has a minute and a half uninterrupted just for meander about how the stock market is at record highs yet people cannot afford rent. Allow him just to do that. It's fine. It is tempting. And I could say this is somewhat a professional debate, but I debate a lot. And I debate college kids, I debate professors, I debate all sorts of people, I debate people, the streets, I debate whatever. Is that allow people to make their point? It's tempting not to allow them to just kind of get it out. And their big bet is this. Since Joe Biden is now in a crisis and make no mistake, Joe Biden agreeing to it to debate, is him communicating to you that he's in crisis, that it is all out crisis that this is, this is not going well. And there's so many wrinkles to this because it tells you so much. Don't be shocked that if Joe Biden just crashes and burns, that might be his last chance. This might be Joe Biden's last chance before the Democrat regime pulls him off, pulls him out. the polling averages this last weekend from decision desk and the hill. These are over 50 polls some 40 30 40 polls sometimes Nevada, Trump up six Arizona, Trump up six Georgia, Trump up six North Carolina, Trump up five four point six Michigan, Trump up four Pennsylvania, Trump up one point seven mission. Wisconsin, Trump up point eight. So there's no reason to be cocky with this, but Joe Biden is now telling you and his entire team, we don't think things are trending well. And the backup opportunity for the Democrats is if Joe Biden bombs super hard in the debate, that's how they can finally force them out, and they think it's only hope. So Joe Biden, not Trump, has a lot more to lose. with this summer debate. Do I love the fact that we're doing a summer debate? I don't know. But, attitude in the league, I would rather have a campaign that plays to win than plays at safe. Okay, so two things I want to highlight here. Number one, here's why I love it. Strategically, it might not be the smartest thing for Trump to accept all these debates. Because he's up in the polls and he's favored in the prediction markets, but I dismiss all of that. Donald Trump is best, his movement is best when they play to win, when they, when we play offense, when we are not just kind of sitting around waiting for things to happen, when we take the initiative, when we say, yes, sir, let's do it. When we set it on our terms. Now, going on CNN with, what do they have? Like, Jake Tapper or somebody moderating this? I'm Mr. Anderson Cooper or somebody moderating the debate. That's not on our terms, but what I mean is that Playing offense generally helps Donald Trump. Donald Trump needs to have this belief. Very simple. You tie the game. No, you're down one. You're down. Listen, you're down seven. You score a touchdown with no time remaining. You go for two. You're not. You're not playing for overtime. You're not playing for just the kick the extra point. You go for two. Donald Trump in 16, 2016, he played like that and he won. He did more rallies, he visited the States. In 2020, you could make the argument his campaign team was a little more cautious. It was not as much of a play to win it was more of a conventional campaign. Didn't work out as well. Again, I believe that actually all things being equal, he should still be president, but again, didn't work out as well. So that, the plane to win mentality, I really appreciate and I think it's when Donald Trump is at his best. Some people are naturally great at offense. Some people are naturally great at defense. Some people are okay at both. Donald Trump is a purely offensive player. His whole life was about new deals, new developments, more speeches, more growth. Democrats, by the way, are not great at defense. Traditionally, it's Democrats that are playing off Traditionally, it's Democrats that are setting the engagement. This is one of the reasons. And Rush Limbot taught us this. Remember the Great Rush Limbot taught us this. They hate Trump because he plays offense against them and they have poor defense. They're not used to having defend their positions. They're not used to having to play under our lotus operandai, so playing to win. And finally, I like the idea that there will be lots of debates because remember, Donald Trump is crushing Joe Biden with low-prepensity voters. Low-prepensity voters are very hard to reach, very hard to chase their ballots. Debates are essentially many Super Bowl viewing events that make it easier for us to expand the pool of voters of people that are coming into the Trump fold. The plumbers, electricians, the welders, the working-class Hispanics and blacks, the young men. When you have more programming on television, that increases the awareness of the election, then you will have a one-to-one correlation between how many people view the debate and how many people turn out. It's almost a one-to-one. In fact, you can do an analysis of the most watched debates And the highest or presidential turnout in the last 30 years. It's not a perfect science. There are some exceptions. But for example, some of the highest turnout that we've seen in 2008 with John McCain and Barack Obama. So people are so curious who's this Obama guy? How is he going to do against this senator? And so for those of us that are trying to chase ballots of low-prepensity voters in states like Arizona and Georgia and Pennsylvania, people that are very, very difficult to reach, more debates and more programming on television increases turnout and hurts the Democrats. Traditionally, higher turnout hurts the Democrats, but The Democrats have plateaued because they built such a sophisticated machine, but there's not, there's only so many reservoirs of votes that they can then go frack or explore unless you're going to go after your legal alien voters. It's a whole separate topic for a different time. So when you have presidential programming, presidential-based programming that is viewed by 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 million people. That opens up the opportunity to allow us to chase ballots of low-prepensity voters. And that doesn't count all the social media cuts. This will be without it doubt. These series of debates will be some of the most watched programming. Now, the CNN not as much because not a network TV. I've seen it will hit 15, 20 million people. The network ones, the CBS ones, I think they're doing the CBS. That'll be 50 or 60 or 70 million people. So on average, it is a trap. I think Donald Trump can navigate it. He has to be ready for what they're going to throw at him. But all things being equal, this will be a net positive if we make it a net positive. We play the win, we play offense, and we seize victory. We just don't act as if it's going to land in our lap. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. E-mail us as always.
