CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Rush [Limbaugh] used to talk about it. There is a propaganda campaign done by the media networks to deflate our base. Do you agree?
KANE (CITIZEN FREE PRESS): 100%. Of course, of course. And it's happening.
KIRK: And so we must resist that, right? We must resist the propaganda campaign, the psychological warfare that's trying to deflate us.
KANE: Yes, yes, yes. And here's the thing, you know some people -- you haven't seen it, but I get into my comments, people have gotten on me. “Kane, Kane, why are you posting these MSN polls. Why are you posting polls showing Kamala with leads?" Well if you want to know the reason why, for the first two weeks it was to wake people up. That was the sole purpose. I wanted people to know that there was a battle ahead, that this wasn't Joe Biden. That it was a new battle we were going to have to fight so I wanted to slap some people in the face with a little polling reality. It doesn't mean that I don't understand that this is a propaganda effort done through how they sample these polls, who they choose to poll, so I understand, but at the same time we need to be woken up at the sort of -- you know, look, after Trump's RNC, and where Biden was polling, and before he was replaced, we were looking at winning all seven swing states plus five others. I mean, we were looking at potential 350 electoral votes so I think we needed to be woken up.

KIRK: Here's the analogy I give, is that they've been having an all night rave at the Democrat Party. And the drugs are wearing off, and morning is here, and they have a heck of a hangover. And people are realizing they made a bad mistake.
