00:03:10.000The only solution I could see, to be perfectly honest with you, is to get Egypt and Jordan to actually do their part to take the people of Gaza, but they don't want them.
00:03:19.000And so you have to use American power and American hegemony to basically say, hey, Jordan, you guys are going to take a couple million refugees.
00:03:27.000Egypt, you're going to take a couple million refugees.
00:03:29.000Other than that, there really isn't a solution because you have two sides that are at irreconcilable odds right now.
00:03:59.000I was formerly a Democrat, but I'm a Jewish student here.
00:04:03.000And after October 7th, I sort of switched over.
00:04:06.000I was wondering if you think that's like a trend among Jewish voters and if that will have a big impact on the election, especially with like Kamala not picking Josh Shapiro.
00:04:16.000I wonder if that sort of shows her stance on it.
00:04:18.000Well, first of all, welcome to the Republican Party.
00:04:41.000I think that Jews need to realize the Democrat Party is not a safe place for them at all.
00:04:46.000That it is at odds with their, first of all, their love of the state of Israel, of which I share.
00:04:52.000And secondly, and I think thirdly and most importantly, is that the American Jewish community has long had an attachment with the American Democrat Party.
00:05:00.000You know that's very, very hard to break, right?
00:05:03.000I hope it does because we as conservatives, Republicans, and Trump supporters welcome Jewish Americans coming into our ranks.
00:08:45.000Okay, first of all, if you are a small business owner and you do that, you put $35 out of $36, they could get you for falsifying business records.
00:08:51.000And the 34 counts, each one of the counts was on each check that he wrote.
00:08:55.000So it's not as if there was this big, broad conspiracy.
00:09:02.000Do you think that there's anything to the argument that Donald Trump is being unfairly targeted because his name is Donald Trump?
00:09:06.000I think Yeah, there's some merit to that.
00:09:08.000Yes, because if anyone gets under that kind of examination and everything you do in your life, every transaction, every conversation, that they're going to be able to find something that they can get on you.
00:09:32.000Yeah, I mean, and again, I can go into the details of why I think that is politically charged, politically motivated, but it is at some point we had a tradition in this country that if you are a former president, we're not going to throw the examination of justice against you because it's just really unhealthy and damaging to the country, right?
00:09:49.000I mean, even those of us that thought Hillary Clinton committed a lot of crimes, we were okay with her not getting investigated at some point because we thought it would damage the country.
00:09:57.000At some point, because we were like, okay, she definitely committed crimes, but if they're not going after her because we don't want to try to further sever the country, with Donald Trump indicted in four different jurisdictions on four different things, it's very clear that they're trying to interfere with the presidential election.
00:10:26.000And so without getting into the details of the case, of which I think they are meritless and, you know, a lot of legal scholars agree, I think we need to take a step back and say, is it real?
00:10:36.000Is it healthy long term for us as a country to be able to put the ascendant political opposition leader in jail when he's very popular and beat?
00:11:05.000Because the justice system is supposed to be blind, regardless of who you are.
00:11:09.000And there's something deeply disturbing when someone is about to, he's building a movement, you might not like him at all, but he's building a movement.
00:11:27.000Like, what does that say for the everyday person who thinks he's the right choice?
00:11:30.000And if you think he should go in jail and those people shouldn't vote for him, then you think those people are stupid.
00:11:36.000Not you, but like, if that's the perspective, and they say, oh, we know better than the welder who likes Trump, or we know better than the college kid that likes Trump.
00:11:45.000And so for the health and the vitality of the country, the Democrats should have resisted the temptation of indicting him and putting him in prison.
00:13:27.000As we gear up for another important election year, remember that we vote every day with our dollar.
00:13:31.000One of the best ways to support America is by buying from local farms and ranches.
00:13:36.000Good Ranchers makes this easy by delivering 100% American meat to your door.
00:13:40.000When you shop with Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat for your family, but also supporting American farmers and ranchers.
00:13:46.000This year, instead of buying imported meat, cast your vote for American agriculture and local economy.
00:13:52.000I've used Good Ranchers meat for quite some time and they never disappoint.
00:13:55.000Whatever your choice of protein, you'll be pleased if you cast a vote for Good Ranchers.
00:13:59.000Use code Kirk for $25 off your order and your choice of free chicken breasts, ground beef, bacon, or wild-caught salmon for a year.
00:14:59.000Because I'm being put on this pedestal that, I mean, other people around me, like my high school teachers have done, they said, oh, you don't need to try that hard.
00:15:08.000I mean, you're going to get into the college you want because you're a person of color.
00:16:01.000In fact, that's the whole point of the American Project is that we shouldn't be able to judge just based on your skin color.
00:16:06.000My advice for your sister is try to fight against affirmative action, but in the short term, use it because the laws and the system is currently configured to help her.
00:16:58.000It's because a true justice should judge based on the intent of the law, not just what they think it will do.
00:17:05.000But I think it's deeply unhealthy that we have billions of dollars flowing through super PACs and we have to see this ridiculous TV advertising all the time.
00:17:12.000I don't think it's healthy for the country at all.
00:17:15.000But if you go back to the Supreme Court decision, the reason it was decided the way it was is because it was under speech where they said, well, what if Charlie Kirk writes a book against Kamala Harris?
00:18:49.000I'm a gay conservative, and I just want to kind of ask you, like, what do you have to say for people like me who kind of feel like, I guess, it's kind of hard for gay conservatives because there's not a lot of us, so, like, what do you have to say to other gay people who need to realize, like, they do have a choice, like...
00:19:06.000Yeah, first of all, welcome to the conservative movement, but I want to be clear, I don't agree with your lifestyle, and I don't think you should introduce yourself just based on your sexual attractions.
00:19:41.000I just think that we have gone a long way in the negative direction in this country, where we act as if the most important part of your identity is...
00:19:50.000It doesn't mean that much to me, but if you ask from a perspective as a Christian and conservative, I don't agree with that lifestyle, but politics is about addition and multiplication.
00:19:59.000I imagine you agree with a lot of what we talk about, right?
00:20:02.000Strong borders, strong country, and for that, we welcome you to the conservative movement.
00:20:14.000And I think it's a sentiment that came a lot as RFK endorsed Trump.
00:20:18.000But one of RFK's main campaign issues was being very against the COVID vaccine.
00:20:24.000And what would you say to Trump voters who are hesitant or concerned about Trump's inability to say that Operation Warp Speed was an utter failure?
00:20:31.000Well, I think that's a great question.
00:20:33.000I think that him bringing RFK in is the closest you're going to get.
00:20:39.000Donald Trump said he'll do stuff differently.
00:20:41.000RFK was a huge critic of Operation Warp Speed, which, granted, was something we've never seen before, which was that the administrative state took over the entire health apparatus of a country.
00:20:50.000We never should have locked down this country.
00:20:54.000We never should have mandated vaccines.
00:20:55.000And I think Donald Trump bringing RFK into the fold is the closest thing that we're going to see to making sure it never happens again, because that's really what matters, right?
00:21:03.000Outside of an apology, Do you think that...
00:21:23.000Because of the COVID vaccine hesitancy, there's going to be a future hesitancy to other vaccines in the future?
00:23:35.000But I mean, we've seen the electric vehicle mandate done by Biden and was a complete disaster.
00:23:39.000The big three auto manufacturers have not been able to compete with Tesla on the electric vehicle front, even with even with a fair amount of low tariffs on Chinese imports.
00:23:52.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.
00:24:31.000Right now, their three-week quick start is just $19.95.

00:25:41.000For example, let's say in the medical field, endometriosis, something like that has not been studied in women due to so little women being in the medical field.
00:25:56.000The seatbelt is made especially for the male body.
00:25:59.000They're only tested with male mannequins, so a lot of women are in risk of dying in car crashes at a higher rate.
00:26:05.000There's a lot of things that benefit from a diverse group of people, both in engineering and medical fields and education and other facets of the systems.
00:26:16.000And I was just wondering, without affirmative action, how do you think we can bring these people in to bring a variety of Opinions.
00:26:24.000Yeah, no, I mean, just have a meritocracy, right?
00:26:26.000So you have three white men around you.
00:26:30.000So if one supports affirmative action, it would mean that you would be okay turning to those three men and saying, I deserve the position more than you based on something that doesn't matter.
00:26:41.000I feel like that's one facet of it that we're not also paying attention to is that people that are graduating are graduating from the same schools.
00:26:47.000They're graduating with the same degrees.
00:26:50.000Every study of affirmative action, for example, the Harvard case, showed that it was nearly 40% lower test scores for people of color versus their white male counterparts and Asian counterparts.
00:27:23.000So what we're doing is our institutions are now becoming less excellent.
00:27:28.000Our country is not working like it used to because we basically told people that are very qualified and very competent that, sorry, we're not going to put a position for you here.
00:27:39.000Let me just give you one example, okay?
00:27:40.000We can all agree that protecting a president, whether it's Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, is super important, right?
00:27:45.000But now the Secret Service has said that we want to have 30% of all our agents be women, which, by the way, they have lower fitness criteria.
00:27:53.000So they have less pull-ups, less push-ups, slower mile time.
00:27:56.000But yeah, that's something that's due to like your...
00:30:29.000So you think if you pick a random lady here that they'd be just as comfortable sitting and watching a four-hour football game than they were to go get their hair done with their best girlfriends?
00:30:36.000Well, I feel like that's kind of diminishing to say, oh, because you're a woman, you will not be able to sit through a four-hour football field.
00:30:42.000Is it diminishing to say a man wouldn't want to go get his hair done?
00:31:24.000I mean, like, right now I'm not wearing, like, anything, really.
00:31:27.000No, I know, but that's the point is that at some point you wear makeup because there's something within your wiring that says, I want to be presentable to the world, and that wiring honestly is, I want to find a mate to have children.
00:31:35.000I mean, this question was about affirmative action.
00:31:37.000No, no, no, it's not actually really important because I don't think there's any differences between races, but I think that when it comes to affirmative action, we're saying that there are differences.
00:32:45.000So because of that, a lot of the laws, a lot of everything that's set in place was made by men, was excluding women, was creating reforms and certain legislations that would specifically support men rather than women because women don't have that ability.
00:35:47.000No, that was, like, outlawed in, like, 1918. It wasn't 1919. It was happening still until 1964. Also, banks were, like, specifically not allowing black people to, like, own homes back then.
00:37:38.000Well, my initial point was that because of not having, like, people, you know, like, you know, of certain races or certain genders, like, be here and working in engineering and stuff like that, we have not been able to, like, research into certain things that would benefit those people.
00:37:54.000Do you think there's any risk that we might have institutions that aren't as excellent?
00:39:05.000I want the country we once had, which was the greatest country ever, where we put excellence and we put superior intellect above sensitive racial politics.
00:39:24.000But when we used to have a country that was based on merit, we were more successful, and we were a better-run country, and we're objectively not now.
00:39:32.000I'm just saying that in engineering, there's a lot of...
00:39:33.000We can't even protect a president from getting shot.
00:39:35.000Yeah, there's a lot of parts in engineering that because we don't have a diverse look of opinions, then we are putting certain people into more danger, like women in cars.
