CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): And today, markets are reacting directly to Kamala Harris. You see, markets are as much psychological as they are data-driven. When people lose confidence, a bloodbath ensues. Over the weekend, something very noticeable happened — Kamala Harris took the lead in all of the betting markets. Kamala Harris looked as if she's now the favorite in this race, and these things go up and they go down, and I've told you guys not to panic. And since America is likely, according to the betting markets, to put an incompetent California communist as president of the United States — two weeks later, the sentiment around the lack of American leadership, the lack of American strength, and the lack of American economic power was proven today to be very dramatic.

The Nasdaq has never in its history been down a thousand points ever, even temporarily, until today. Earlier this morning, the Nasdaq hit that threshold temporarily. Now today, of course, is two weeks, as we have mentioned, after Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee. All around the world, the economy is on the brink. The top Japanese stock market index fell 12% today. In Korea, their market is down more than 8%. Markets in Europe are all down big. And here in America, the Dow, the Nasdaq, and the S&P have all dipped about 2%. Trillions of dollars of value — poof, lost, eradicated. I encourage all of you, do not look at your stock portfolio today. Do not look at your 401k. That is all brought to you by Kamala Harris.

Now before I continue on the the data surrounding this, it's very important — if you watch the Kamala Harris advertisements, if you look at how they're presenting her, they act as if she's an outsider trying to become president. She is the current vice president of this country and you do not have a president. So for all intents and purposes, she is in charge. She is in charge for this looming Middle East war. She is in charge of this market collapse. Let's put cut six up on screen. This is her doing. Your 401k, your stock portfolio, your life savings. The money that you have tucked aside for your kid or your grandkid. We did it, Joe, as Kamala Harris would say. And this is just the beginning. This is the beginning of a market correction which only could be called the Kamala crash.
