well, the guest you are about to have on charlie kirk, a lot of that have to do with the hard work ofharlie's to get these younger voters out and voting. a group hard to engage low propensity voters that's why they got out because of the strategy created by the trump campaign and groups like charlie's. the owner issue was if you remember back in 1980, laura, when reagan won that, was the year when the youngest of voters somehow found an affinity for ronald reagan. it was cool on campuses to be for ronald reagan. that is sort of what happened in this instance. young people, the inflation has effected them. they are confuse dollars because they want to start out life with the optimism. they probably don't feel as pessimistic as the message the democrats delivered. and they dec decide they wantedo go back to the way things were in high school or whatever when trump was president, so they voted for him. i think that's what happened. >> laura: how important was the war message that trump stuart started to highlight later in the campaign where is he like if you want to avoid like -- these p

now charlie kirk let me ask you this. people may be many more but the two groups i am looking at are those instinctively conservative and group conservative households who jujust did not vote. and then another group indoctrinated relentlessly or even in public school system in the unions and so forth and so on. it seems to me that in some respects those are two different groups with two different approaches how do you approach of both of those groups? >> is go to the first one initially. the first group is people who need confidence to be a conservative they wane and their conservative beliefs if they don't have community, camaraderie and conviction. we give them that at turning point usa you are not alone there's far more conservatives out there than you would believe them to university of georgia at one of the 25 college campuses i visited this last semester 5000 students show up they said it's the largest outdoor event they have ever seen at university of georgia. mark, i knew something profound was happening with 5000

i guess you are about to have on charlie kirk, the hard work of groups like charlie to get the youngervoting because we know that is a group to engage. low propensity voters. that is why they got out because of the strategy greeted by the trump campaign and groups like charlie's s. but if you remember back in 1980, laura when ronald reagan won, that was the year the youngest of voters somehow found affinity for ronald reagan. it was cool on campuses to be for ronald reagan. that is what happened in this instance. the young people, they are confused because they want to start out life with life with optimism. they don't feel as septimus mick pessimistic as democrats delivered they decided they wanted to go back to things the way things were in high school when trump was president so voted for him. i think that is what happened. >> laura: how important was the war message that trump started to highlight during the campaign. if you want to avoid -- these people will call for a draft if this keeps going the way they are going, we will be at war with russia. i thought that was smart. >> it

let's bring in turning point usa pounder charlie kirk. great to have you on.now if you can see it but it's impressive. we go back to 2020, biden 61 of the 18-29 vote, trump 36. four years later, trump at 46. that is a significant shift and a bunch of that is attributed to the ground game at turning point. it has to make you feel good. >> it does. first of all, the president deserves the credit for all the hard work he put into this campaign. going on podcasts, reaching out to the next generation. i did 25 campus stops this semester across the country and you can see some of the shots there. we registered tens of thousands of new voters and we brought a message of hope and optimism. generation of red they would not be able to buy a home, they would not have their piece of the american dream. i will tell you, early on in doing this we started to see three, four, 5000 students attend these event and i said to our team something is happening. i've been doing this for 12 years, this could be a political earthquake that could change the election. you look at pennsyl

charlie kirk.t was it like on those campuses engaging -- you have no idea what they are going to ask you. >> it was an open mic and we did it at 25 ullage campuses. it was amazing. after the first couple i started to realize, these rods are attracting, it's not normal. we are having thousands of students showing up to these events. we had 5000 at the university of georgia and i turned to my team and said let's keep this diet it was unusual because we like to draw attention. i said i think we are going to do better with younger voters in any of the public doing shows with young men and young women and we did tough work. we registered them to vote and taste the ballot and over 1500 people on staff working as college campuses and the associated amenities. what we did shocked the world. you can make the argument if it wasn't for how trump performed with younger voters he might not have been successful in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin and with that, the white house. trump one the youth vote in mi

you don't hear that, and you see charlie kirk losing his mind or youtube cast and says what's going onese women are voting on top of it. i think the early vote has been 54%, but he said where's the game. i thought charlie kirk is going to be delivering it. >> what you didn't know is that 12 million people shut them in your face. >> that's not true. have you seen the coverage of conversation? >> have you seen the ring camera, jessica? you're throwing stuff out that no one cares. >> what are you getting me? are you getting me big village? >> i'm asking this woman, what is the first thing you will do on the job executive action. and she can't name it. she's talking about what she will do in congress. when biden got in, i remember they had that video. they had 16 things soosign it. he just, he didn't know know what he was signing. i remember one was tearing uptrump's border policy and the other equi]other equity. so she should know the priority day one, so now. i haven't heard her talk at all. when we watch her speeches, she never talks about biden-nomics, and she doesn't talk about all th

i was talking backstage with charlie kirk. i love charlie. he left a few minutes ago. he told me he has three more events just in this area of the state of arizona. he told me that in just this area we have 400,000 unreturned absentee ballots from republicans. here is what i am asking you to do over the next three days. if you know somebody that has a bad tell them to drop it off or get it in the mail. sorry, not the mail. about the mail. drop them off. that's right. don't put them in the mail. drop them off. thank you. drop them off or, of course, on november the fifth that's actually election day so get out and vote for donald j. trump, kari lake, and all of our great candidates. we are in a very very good spot in arizona, but i don't want us to get lazy or rest on our laurels. right now we have a big, big advantage in the state of arizona. we will work our tails off over the next three days to make this thing too big to rig. that is the gold over the next three days. think about this. the stakes could not be higher. arizona knows that better than almost any state in

when charlie kirks and elon musk running your ground game, baby, you should feel good about tuesday!ocrats, stop wetting beds. >> i mean, michael is not wrong. charlie kirks and elon musk, donald trump outsource is basically his whole infrastructure of organizing to those two entities, and these are two people that have never actually won an election. you never want to give the ground game to people who don't know the ground, first and foremost. a reporting from wire that says, elon musk has really messed it up. i don't know, michael. maybe i am just skeptical, because i used to be out there on the campaign trail this time before election day. people have got to continue to run through the tape. if you feel like vice president harris is doing well and democrats are doing well, they might be, also, republicans are going out there voting too. some people are going to vote for donald trump. it will be close, i think. i think she can win it, but it is going to be close. >> it is, no one has ever doubted that. although, i don't think it is going to be as close as you think. we will play t

this is the big test right now, and when joe mentions charlie kirk freaking out.ly indications, the big gamble they made may not work out. if you want a reason why, just go down the litany of issues that willie and i listed. they could not reorient the campaign to something a little less offensive at the end. >> willie? >> and obviously what we are seeing here, very clearly, donald trump just drilling down deeper on his base of support. that is not to say, expanding to women in any way, perhaps the nikki haley voters, just drilling down deeper and deeper. it has to be said, he's preparing his voters for the idea that the election was stolen for him because, that's not the stance and position of a winner, a guy who thinks he will take the election, someone saying i might lose, and i better get my people ready for an alternate version of the story. >> yeah. the message that he would only lose if the election was rigged has been bubbling through the last few months ever since he ran in 2020 and started running in 2016. i remember going to the rallies, and it was a th

literally, charlie kirk on election day was on twitter saying we need the men to come out and vote. >t it was really important for men to get up and stand out and vote for donald trump. and here's the thing we have to understand, addressing what those men's needs are in a material way is not simply enough. because look, men want better jobs. men want a minimum wage, men want minimum wage to go up, but what trump appeals to was about male power and men feeling dissempowered in the country. you hear some democrats saying the same thing. that's only for weak men, to be honest with you. we also have to address if the republican party becomes the party of men, and the republican party is a party primarily of white men, then how is that actually addressed? you are probably not going to change those guys' minds so you have to find people who agree with democratic policies and turn them out. >> i will note the only time kamala harris addressed her race at all, she was asked by dana bash on cnn about whether or not she simply turned black, making her answer trump's really ridiculous accusation

i thought charlie kirk was going to be delivering that. well, what you didn't know? jessica?ay have maybe knocked on 13 million doors, but 12 million people shut them in your face. that's really not true. have you seen the footage of the conversations? have you seen the ring camera footage? jessica. kaboom. kaboom. kaboom. you're throwing a lot of stuff out here. no one cares about marist. marist was dead wrong in the last election, and i bet they will again. are you kidding me? big village or the guy asking this woman, what is your first thing you're going to do on the job? executive action. and she can't name it. she can't even name it. she's talking about what she's going to do in congress. when biden got in, i remember that video. they have about 16 stacks of things he was signing. they just handed it to him. he didn't even know what he was signing. one of them, i remember, was tearing up trump's border policies. that was a good one. and the other one was about equity. so she should know what your priority is on day one, because actuall, day one is right now because she s

. >> and speaking of gender, i think it's interesting because we heard from charlie kirk, of course, a trump ally warning that the early vote is, quote disproportionately female and urging men to vote to prevent a harris victory. i mean, look, mark, we know this right there are more women registered to vote in this country than there are men and women turn out in higher numbers for elections. so the reality is, most years yes, women do decide and i shouldn't be shocked and yet at the same time it's it's it's always there's always an element of oh yes, we're seeing the quiet part out loud again. i mean how dare women help decide an election? >> oh, i think women will absolutely decide this election. but i think they're not deciding it on what democrats hope they're deciding. it on. they think every woman believes the same thing on one single issue where so many of them are struggling to pay for gas and groceries, they're worried about their safety because of the open border and millions of illegal immigrants allowed in by kamala harris. they're worried about public safety, and they kn

i care about charlie kirk supporters i care about shapira supporters. i care about. >> all people, governor gavin newsom with that message during his visit thursday to fresno county. all of that just the beginning of newsom's plan to visit these 3 counties in the near future included calusa county north of sacramento and kern county in the southern san joaquin valley. why newsom says he's visiting those counties making sure that no region of the state is left behind. but all 3 of the counties have this in common. majority of those who cast a ballot in those areas voted for president-elect donald trump. newsom telling the new york times he hears those voters and want them to know he works for them too. >> no governor in california work more closely. well, governor in the country or get democrat work more closely. democratic governor with donald trump and i did during covid. but newsom has also vowed to fight the trump administration. he already announced plans to convene a special session starting december second, all to introduce bills that will help th

conservative activist charlie kirk, who is helping to get out the vote for trump, posting on social media -- "if men stay at home, kamala is president. it's that simple. men need to go vote now." but in arizona, harris doubling down. >> he simply does not respect the freedom of women or the intelligence of women to know what's in their own best interests and make decisions accordingly. but we trust women. we trust women. >> reporter: harris, of course, is also courting male voters, and she's hoping to get a boost from two big-name endorsements in the last 24 hours. arnold schwarzenegger, the actor who served as the republican governor of california, saying, quote, i will always be an american before i am a republican. and lakers great lebron james, saying, quote, when i think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. david? >> david: mary bruce leading us off tonight. mary, thank you. >>> former president trump in new mexico late today with a message to latino voters. trump also talking about the economy, bringing down costs, saying he will create a

congressman matt gaetz, who took himself out of the running for the job told conservative commentator charlie kirk. he would not try to reclaim his congressional seat despite his re-election earlier this month, i prosecuted reaction to bodies nomination as ag has been much more positive. alabama republican senator tommy tuberville said on ax quote. >> i look forward to the senate quickly confirming her to be our next attorney general president president-elect trump's pick for defense secretary pete hegseth remains positive after his meeting with senators despite a police report revealing the details of the assault allegation from 2017. >> says it's not a story that is fully investigated. and i was completely clear. washington democrat congresswoman pramila jayapal is not convinced. i don't know the guy but looking at it. i am afraid for the safety of women everywhere. missouri republican senator eric schmitt believes headset is qualified to look forward to talking more to pete. >> about what his vision is for department, defense and west virginia. republican senator shelley moore capito says its p

when joe mentions charlie kirk freaking out, the reason charlie kirk is freaking out is because early indications are -- and this is early indications, whatever. >> don't know anything, yeah. >> but indication is the big gamble they made may not work out. if you want a reason why, go down the litany of issues willie and i just listed. they could not reorient the campaign to something a little less offensive at the end. >> willie. >> yeah, and, katty, obviously, what we're seeing here very clearly is donald trump just drilling down deeper on his base of support. that is to say, not expanding and really appealing to women in any meaningful way. perhaps those nikki haley women voters that we talk about a lot. nikki haley republicans. he's just drilling down deeper and deeper. again, it has to be said, he's preparing his voters for the idea that the election was stolen from him. because that's not the stance and the position of a winner, a guy who thinks he is going to take the election. it's someone saying, uh-oh, i might lose. i better get my people ready for some alternate version of t

have in response, since trump chose to outsource the get out the vote operation to elon musk and charlie kirk, so it is not clear that they can match that. obviously, the polling says either one of them can win, but those factors that i just cited, i think would give you a slight thumb on the scale for harris in these final moments. >> the key to that, emily, is women. because as ron described, it is plummeting support for democrats among young men of color. and the hope that harris has is it is all going to be made up, more than made up by women. what is your sense? >> you know, harris has been running strong understanding abortion rights. most women are pro-choice. they can see that trump did not defend abortion rights when he was president, based on his choices for the supreme court. so, that is a strong incentive for women who care about that issue to come out for harris. at the same time, you know, ron was talking about the difference between college-educated and non-college-educated voters. there is a big gap among those groups, and women respond to crosscurrents, right? some women who

pennsylvania, wisconsin, compared to what they have, when you advocate your duty of getting voters out to charlie kirk and elon musk, you get the top. >> in 2016, past is prologue, there was zero ground game, nobody was there. i went to the rally the night before the election, democrats was going to win, guess what happened, all those grassroots -- >> this is one of the reasons the polls have been up or off, because they missed these folks that did not participate in polls. we talked about this -- >> and they are missing it again. >> pollsters have tried to retract, have they captured it -- >> final thought, is trump's closing message, some of the things that he is saying, is that hurting him with the latebreaking voters. >>'s message on air is if you want the world to not be on fire, vote for me. it's unfortunately for him, different than what he's saying on the stump and i think that disconnect, will be harder to buy. >> great conversation, thank you all. drink your water, sleep when you can. we will be right back. >>> it's almost finally here, we are 48 hours from election day and there's no better

. >> charlie kirk also weighed in posting on twitter, folks, word of wisdom. if trump is not confirmed it on truth don't jump to conclusions and don't believe everything you see. mr. kirk is right about that. until it is announced and done, especially in trump world, it is not an ounce and done. >> let's talk about what it takes to get the job. it helps if you are loyal. it helps if you have an ally, preferably someone in the family or someone named elon musk. it also helps if you have ever said anything bad about him that maybe he is willing to look the other way. not always, but sometimes. i just want to say be careful what you wish for. we have seen a trump administration. you better have thick skin, because defense secretary mark esper, former chief of staff reince priebus, the former secretary of state rex tillerson, let's play the game what do they all have in common? >> trump has fired them and insulted them. >> on twitter. >> that is a really small list. >> those are three big names. so, you know, from day one you are on double secret probation. >> he

likes of charlie kirk. likes of tucker carlson. bobby kennedy jr. , when it comes to, you know -- to the health system in the u.s. so clearly donald trump is hearing from a lot of people that traditionally wouldn't normally be involvedals in these transitions. >> musk is becoming, like, first buddy. you know? he's hanging around. foreign leaders call. trump puts him on the phone with him. brings his family to mar-a-lago. doesn't want a job. right? in a funny way donald trump is sort of in awe of elon musk because he's so rich and wealthy. don't forget, conflicts that he does billions of dollars of business with the united states government. that could eventually become an issue. you know? at this point they're just hanging out at mar-a-lago. weighing in on serious policy issues, that's something different. >> two big very personalities and i wonder if there's room for both of them. >> meaning when is the honeymoon over? might be my question. we'll see, is the answer. i wonder, gloria, how you're looking at his this race for senate

there was an exchange between charlie kirk, or i should say, both charlie cook and kirk and jesse watters, who's a fox news host out there talking about this potential phenomenon. let's watch what each of them had to say it is the embodiment of the downfall of the american family she's coming in with her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go, you know, and have a nice life and provide for the family. >> and then she lies to him saying, oh yeah, i'm going to vote for trump. and then she votes for kamala harris as her little secret in the voting booth. >> and if i found out emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for harris, that's the same thing as having an affair that violates the sanctity of our marriage yes. what else is she keeping from me, exactly? what else has she been lying about? >> why would there's a lot there? >> basically i'd love to find out what his wife actually thinks there. but this is also the kind of framing that the harris team seizes on to kind of try to say to women, these people don't take you seriously. >> ye

there was a tweet from charlie kirk in ground of the ground operation.paign has outsourced. he said the turnout was mixed right now. and he is calling on their supporters to come out to the polls. we'll see. maybe that is a motion motivational tactic. that one one of the big things at the end of the day, if the harris campaign does eke this out, the decision that trump made that the elon musks of the world and the turning point usas of the world to do that ground operation. because of their criticism of the way the republican national committee had dealt with this in the past. you heard bryan lanza telling you senior trump advisers didn't like the way the rnc was doing things. that is why they changed thing to the outside operation. that was a big gamble. will it be successful? we'll see. >> if the harris campaign loses pennsylvania where is the best chance for them to pick up the votes from other states? >> it will be really hard. you are seeing in the sun belt states, according to the polls perhaps not as tracking as well as they would hope at this lat

charlie kirk promotes on the opposite side of kevin mccarthy also endorsing susie for the job. it looks as though she could be front runner and could be given this job as they move forward, which would be critical for the transition but obviously for the administration. >> president elect trump made a lot of promises on the campaign trail about his agenda. what is his main priority for his first day in office? >> that is really what the conversations are about right now. he believes because he won the popular vote that he has a mandate to act on some of the policies . is hyper focused on immigration be one of the things we reported on coming into the selection was the fact that donald trump even though his advisors told him that con was the most important issue continued to believe emigration was the most important issue. he is still focused on that today. he has been having conversations with these members about have exactly and what exactly he can do in terms of the mass deportations and building of the wall and implementing some of the things he promised. banning sanctuary c

>> charlie kirk?akes me worried because if there are several groups managing this, is there consolidation of analytics? that makes me nervous but i will say i see an argument from the trump campaign, we're attempting to shave off install percentages of women here and there, maybe it's the older jewish women and suburban moms who are concerned about what their children are learning and could that together lead to trump's base? >> we'll be looking at these numbers closely tomorrow night. and there has been a lot of anticipation building tomorrow, and we're getting warnings from law enforcement officials who are saying they're not messing around about tomorrow. >> anybody who thinks it's time to play militia, f around and find out. it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad. so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. ou

so if it were a fair fight, i'd take the read machine over elon musk and of course charlie kirk who's also part of this. the problem is for democrats it demographics have changed, ali, since barack obama won the state byon fairly large margins and tn hillary clinton and joe biden only won by 2.5 points, and now and the registration is very close. so they're concerned and no matter what elon musk is doing or not doing, this is probably a close race. >> across the board the economy continues to be the biggest issue, almost alwayss is in evy election. even "the wall street journal" today has said that the next president will inherit a remarkablenh economy. a numberre of nobel prize winni economists have come out and talked about harris' economy. frankly, it's a strong economy. is there something about that message not fully resonating? because if people are economy voters, your choice is a little bit clear, unless you are a billionaire, in fact, in which case you should vote for donald trump. >> right. there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect. people are saying they're voting on the e

hair is charlie kirk whining about it. >> she needs people to basically light of their husbands which they are promoting which i find that campaign so repulsive. it is so disastrous. it's the embodiment of the downfall of the american family. >> in some ways, from his conception it is. >> absolutely. i want to emphasize that so much of what has been happening around family policy. the pushing of these the nastiness about women who don't have children or don't have children early enough. the republican party all in with chris hayes make it harder for women to get divorced. the pushing of marriage and hetero marriage early marriages this norm which i've written a lot about. this is all about controlling women from 1 million different angles. economically and politically and it's coming out about how women vote. there's another conservative commentator who had a fit about this at. jesse watters on fox who said within the past couple of days that if his wife voted differently from him, he would consider a tan amount to betrayal to having an affair. can you imagine the conception of gender

one of the other people, who are on the list now to face confirmation and that is matt gaetz and charlie kirk from turning point usa, he is warning that republicans, if they voted for malik -- garlands confirmation and won't vote for gaetz, they will face a primary challenge. is that a real possibility that they might find persuasive to those who are facing that prospect? >> we will see, again, this will be a harder vote even for some, i would even say rfk, you are starting to see that on the hill, you are seeing cracks in the last six hours. look, at the end of the day, folks aren't stupid, this is a win-win for gaetz, by resigning congress, he is saying confirming, i'll be the attorney general but if he doesn't, he's out of congress but he is likely to be rumored to go run for governor of florida anyway and he can run as a martyr who republicans railroaded in the process. in some ways, it's a win-win for gaetz but i think it'll be a harder confirmation for him and it will be for kennedy. >> keith? >> i mean, maybe, it is a win-win for him but i can't look at this as a cold political calcula

congress, telling a podcast or he has note intention of rejoining congress in january telling charlie kirkin the fight but it will be from a new perch. i don't intend to be in the one hundred nineteenth congress, a number of fantastic florian stepped up to run from ict. he is also being considered as a possible candidate for governor when that opens up next year. we will be following that. reaction from dan news--muser what do you make about the fact that matt gaetz is not considering returning to congress? >> i served with him for six years, super smart guy, articulate, very driven, he is a patriot. controversial. as he was pursuing the attorney general rall they decided it was too much of a distraction and he voluntarily bowed out. he is a disruptor. you could count on him and he would do the things he wanted him to do, they need some cleaning up but the idea he' s not coming back next term, a disappointment because he does add, we could use the vote. it will be a gap that minimizes the majority from a couple of months. with desantis as governor i am sure they will fill the seat as soon

parallel in sync with their parents which is a fascinating you talked about it a little bit with charlie kirk very much so. it gives you hope that the trajectory of this say everybody starts out left wing is not the case. right and you have that you have an opportunity to get the outcome you saw on tuesday night not just tuesday night but generationally going forward. rachel: 80s were nice. early 90s it was a good time. will: this story absolutely stunning coming to us from the daily wire. where they're reporting that a fema supervisor told workers in a message to avoid homes that advertise trump. this is during hurricane reliefs in florida as canvassing lake in florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal or for federal aid. internal messages reviewed by daily wire said that supervisor marni relaid this message in group chats used by relief team multiple governments told daily wire avoid homes with trump signs out front in trying to figure out if they need aid from fema. pete: on stories like this if marni washington was willing to say this in a group chat he felt comfortable

be like j.d. ,, be these hawks more aligned with -- not hawks, but those more aligned with the charlie kirks of the world, the tucker s of the world who have trump's ear and have a lot of impact on decisionmaking, but, in fact, trump seems to be going towards a more moderate establishment. i think that shows the impact of susie wiles, who has a longstanding relationship with marco rubio and actually comes from more traditional republican circles. >> yeah, that's a really good point as we're seeing all of this shake out and how quickly it is happening with the defense secretary pick tonight. tara palmeri, as always great reporting and thank you for sharing with us. >> thanks for having me, kaitlan. >>> thank you all so much for joining us on very busy news night with a lot of headlines and cabinet announcements tonight out of mar-a-lago. cnn news night with abbie phillip is up next. tonight trump picks a morning show anchor to run america's military as he drafts a plan and trump picks a familiar face to be his man in tel aviv whose past comments complicate an already complicated middle east j

charlie kirk was right when he said that last week to make a difference in america and to enact policiesave been wanting for years we have no time to waste. which is why over the weekend trump urged whoever gets the leadership role to agree to recess appointments because sometimes the votes can take two years or more on key cabinet secretaries and other positions, which is what the senate did last go around trump added we cannot let that happen again. john cornyn is trying to get around recess appointments by promising to keep senators in session over the holidays to get all trump's people through. those are nice words. and maybe that will happen. but trump does not have the luxury of time. and even if his agenda is stymied by the usual swampish uniparty maneuvers, the republicans are going to get wiped out in 2026 and maybe in 2028 if they try to slow the agenda down after he and everything the country has been through what a travesty. trump's victory undermine not so much by democrats and resistance but by his own party. how do you think voters would react to that. next time they hear

stephen bannon and the right wing influencer charlie kirk.and conspiracy theorist who traveled with mr. trump on his private plan during the campaign. and threatened to release negative information about mr. thune. welcome to government where the choices are never easy. you have three republican candidates for leader of the senate. each one of them disgraced themselves. but one of them is clearly the worst of the three. and maybe one of the other two would be by some slim identify able margin the best choice. i'm sure tonight chuck schumer has a preference about which one of these senators he might be able to work with. it might ultimately make absolutely no difference at all. which one of them becomes the republican majority leader of the senate. but for a consideration of what might be at stake in that election tomorrow, we turn to our next guest stewart stevens. a veteran of five republican presidential campaigns. a senior adviser at the lincoln project and the author of the conspiracy to end america. driving our democracy to autocracy. wh

and that would be a salute to the ground game but that happens of charlie kirk and elon musk.rence: interesting when you look at the form or president donald trump he's going places that typically republicans wouldn't go to in the final days. he's trying to expand the map right here and when you look at her she's targeting different coalitions that used to be just solid blue. and i think that shows you maybe the campaign is saying with their words but what she's showing up to a black church that's typically dead, set 95% of the time vote for democrats on a sunday today. that tells you that she's worried about something. >> in detroit she's the rally i believe it is a rally in detroit and then going to go to a church there in detroit and donald trump three different states and seven more rallies. >> only poll that counts is the one on tuesday. so you've got to votes. or you can't complain. ainsley: that's a good line 17 minutes after the top of the hour turning to more headlines starting with a fox weather alerts. oklahoma city police say that at least six people are in the hos

supporters, i care about tucker carlson supporters, i care about charlie kirk supporters, i care abouthapiro supporters. i care about all people. i care about protecting them, their public safety and their public health. charlie: so after a couple years of conservatives being fascists and, you know, following hitler, he's now going around to these red counties in red districts in california and trying to make nice with conservatives. rachel: right. because the democrat party saw a lot of losses in that central valley of california. bye brian yes. rachel: so, listen,up i don't know how sincere gavin new is -- charlie: i do. rachel: he doesn't strike me as the most sincere guy, but he's doing better in the post-ever trump election environment thanker say, a kathy hochul who's digging her heels in. that is somebody who at least -- charlie: he's trying. rachel: he's trying to concern or saying the right stuff. whether he actually means it or does it -- charlie: he doesn't. rachel: but he recognizes what happened. brian: i just think he's shocked that his state moved so red in this last ele

it's really all about the charlie kirk method. going to wear young people are, just like a baby.t a baby to come to you, you have to go to them and tell them what to do." to college campuses and podcasts where they are watching. trump did that with joe rogan, 45 million views later it's live and call her daddy only got 750,000 views. so it's doing fantastic and this is where young people are so it's fantastic they are taking advantage of this and i think the only weight it can improve his by going on a young woman's podcast like alex clark and talk about -- or an audience were -- a magazine where the audience is politically split. >> jonathan: it is a different landscape and clearly there's bigger effort on the part of the candidates to reach out to the young voters. how successful do you think kamala harris has been, given that according to the latest fox news poll, christian makes compelling arguments, but the latest fox news poll says ages 18-29, harris leads by 54% -45%. to combat christians argument, it seems, according to our figures at least, that kamala harris is doing be

this got a bot of conservatives furious like how dare you, and here's charlie kirk whining about it.n and i want your response. >> she needs people to basically lie to their husbands which they are promoting i find the advertising campaign so repulsive and disasterous. >> i will show it. >> it is the embodiment of the downfall of the american family. >> and some ways think from his conception it is. >> absolutely. and i want to emphasize that so much of what has been happening around family policy, right, the pushing of the kind of nastiness about women who don't have children or don't have children earlier enough. the republican party that's tried to make it harder for women to get divorced. the pushing of marriage, and early heteromarriage constrange norm which is something i have written a lot about. this is all about controlling women from a million different angels. economically and politically and it comes out how women vote. another conservative commentator who had a fit about the oohed jesse on fox who said if hit wife voted differently from him he would consider it to betray

be like j.d. ,, be these hawks more aligned with -- not hawks, but those more aligned with the charlie kirksf the world, the tucker s of the world who have trump's ear and have a lot of impact on decisionmaking, but, in fact, trump seems to be going towards a more moderate establishment. i think that shows the impact of susie wiles, who has a longstanding relationship with marco rubio and actually comes from more traditional republican circles. >> yeah, that's a really good point as we're seeing all of this shake out and how

massive media ecosystem, pumping into the heart of maga, run by the internet bros elon musk and charlie kirkwhich this year handled much of the get out the vote operations for trump's campaign. only for trump to close it out with celebrity podcast host joe rogan in what would become rogan's most watched episodes in more than a decade. but behind the curtain is disinformation king elon musk, who helped to elect trump and enrich himself by using x, twitter, to push out his preferred candidate, frequently with misinformation. joining me now is founder and ceo of on x impact. she also served as an adviser to stacey abrams. thank you so much for being here. i want to play you a sound bite really quick. this is victor orbon of hungary, what he said in 2022 -- no, i'm going to read it. he said that the path to power required having their own media outlets, calling for shows like tucker carlson's to be broad cast 24/7 in hungary. the prime minister and his allies have effective control of most media, including state tv. he said have your own media, the only way to point out the insanity of the progr

. >> well, in fact it was laughing, like elon musk and charlie kirk, [ inaudible ] >> we were making fun of donald trump for having thrown away his ground game and doing some weird stuff online, we thought they were idiots. it turned out we were the idiots. we woke up in a body bag because while we were knocking on doors, they were making these 24 hour a day political weapons for themselves, so we got outplayed, beaten by people who told us the whole time that they knew what they were doing. and people are mad. and the future for, all these different groups that vacuumed up all this money and told everybody to sit down and shut up are going to be in for an accountability session, it is coming. >> i remember when you and i were speaking at one point earlier, you were talking about all kinds of data that was available that people were going to be presenting to the harris campaign. and i suppose you are going to say that fell on deaf ears to large part? >> they were like, we've got it. and they didn't have it. and one very obvious missed opportunity is that joe rogan has the biggest aud

so, if it were a fair fight, i would take the reid machine over elon musk and of course, charlie kirk was also part of this. but, the problem is for the democrats as the demographics have changed since barack obama won the state by fairly large margins than hillary clinton and joe biden only won by 2.5 points and now the registration is very close, so they are concerned, and no matter what elon musk is doing or not doing, this is probably going to be a close race. >> depending on who you're talking to, reproductive rights might be the biggest issue. immigration might be the biggest issue. across the board, the economy continues to be the biggest issue. it almost always is in every election. the wall street journal today has said that the next president will inherit a remarkable economy. a number of nobel prize-winning economists have talked about harris' economy and as a guy who studies this on a regular basis, it is a strong economy. is there something about that message that is not fully resonating? if people are economy voters, your choices a little bit clearer unless you are a bil

again of a federal campaign when organizations like faith and freedom, what elon musk was doing, charlie kirk and others, so i think this is the future. if we are out there seriously going into hispanic and black and asian neighborhoods and knocking on doors and circulating voter guides that are bilingual or trilingual, and where it is legal, harvesting ballots in hispanic and asian churches. i didn't get the final count, john, but i believe we harvested between 40 and 50,000 ballots in asian churches in orange county. if we end up picking up those congressional districts out there, 47 and the others, that will be the margin. if we are out there doing that and they are underperforming among those minorities, while they are losing the evangelical vote, eight to two or worse, and while they are losing the catholic vote by 15 or 20 points, the math doesn't add up. we know that many news organizations were reporting that the trump campaign had engaged in political malpractice by outsourcing is ground game. i think the evidence is in. we thought the evidence was in the early vote. if they had such

there's a whole new world of podcasting which includes pro-trump host, charlie kirk and ben shapiro,uential, anti- podcast machine headed by joe wogan -- rogan. he will have the backing of elon musk, who successfully managed to transform twitter/x into right-wing echo chamber that aids trump and the republican party. what makes trump's incoming second term more frightening than the first is the fact that the new president elect will have an empire of far right voices in his ear but also the country's ear to defend him at all cost. one of those voices may have command over the u.s. military. second only of course, to donald trump's command. joining me to discuss all of this is the president of media matters and the host of the daniel munie show and co-host of democracy-ish on you to. joining us's wit -- rick wilson, cofounder of the lincoln project and author of the best-selling book, running against the devil: a plot to save america from trump and the democrats from themselves. rick, what is your reaction to the new nbc news exclusive about the withdrawal from afghanistan and how doe
