00:00:28.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:15.000It's kind of piggybacking on previous topic that we covered.
00:01:18.000Charlie, talk more about the inability to buy homes.
00:01:21.000I'm really curious about this as I'm trying to become a first-time homebuyer.
00:01:25.000Look, this is a serious civilizational issue.
00:01:28.000And I'm going to read from this article from Gateway Pundit because it plays into this.
00:01:33.000Homeownership is increasingly out of grasp for a lot of young people, a lot of people in general.
00:01:40.000American Dream gone, Gen Z dumps owning homes for luxury rentals.
00:01:45.000The phrase, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, has been getting a lot of attention recently.
00:01:49.000The actual quote originated in a 2016 video by the World Economic Forum that summarized the concepts of a politician of this particular time.
00:01:58.000You think about how much we actually rent in our society.
00:02:44.000When you rent, again, I've rented before.
00:02:47.000It's not a moral thing that you're like a bad person if you rent or don't.
00:02:50.000But when you rent, you're not building long-term equity.
00:02:55.000We want to try to build, have the American dream passed on from one generation to the next.
00:03:00.000And part of this, by the way, and I love all baby boomers, but it's a fact.
00:03:05.000Part of this, though, is that baby boomers are looking to make a very, very strong investment, as they should, on their home.
00:03:13.000And so they're unwilling to sell unless they hit a fever pitch price.
00:03:17.000There was a whole article on this, by the way, in the Wall Street Journal about how baby boomers, they want to make at least a million dollars on their home based on their old purchase price 30 years ago to where it is now.
00:03:31.000And so a young millennial or Gen Z, just run the numbers.
00:03:34.000So if you have a single family home in Scottsdale, or if a single family home in Chandler, single family home in Mesa, single family home in Dallas, and it's $750,000.
00:03:46.000And that's low in some communities, by the way.
00:03:50.000Well, if you get an FHA loan, you can go 3.5% down, but that only increases your monthly payment.
00:03:57.000And interest rates are now between 6% to 7%.
00:04:00.000But if you go a traditional conventional loan to try to keep your monthly payments down, then you're looking at 15% to 20% down, especially with a size of loan that's significant.
00:04:12.000Now, if you're a veteran, you get no money down.
00:04:19.000Part of the great reset is to encourage renting.
00:04:21.000And even worse than that, you have these major companies coming in and they're scooping up homes to rent them back to young people.
00:04:34.000Now, even with that being said, even with all that being said, I'm not telling you what to do, but over the next 20 years, if you're able to get into the owning game, you're probably going to do really well.
00:04:45.000If you're able to sneak in by any means necessary into owning something and getting into that amortization table, say that's five times fast, eventually the numbers will work out in your favor because if you're entering into hyperinflation, you'll have more dollars than value.
00:05:00.000And those that own value are going to then be doing very well.
00:05:06.000And in some ways, it's unfair, especially the millennials that rejected in the early stages of the pandemic, rejected the fear and the paranoia.
00:05:16.000They rejected kind of all the nonsense out there.
00:05:32.000So your purchase price and your interest rate are fixed.
00:05:35.000And then we create all this money, spend up all this money.
00:05:37.000There are people that bought in COVID.
00:05:39.000They bought a $600,000 home that's now worth $1.3 million or $1.5 million.
00:05:44.000And they're still paying a low interest rate on the purchase price because the loan does not change.
00:05:51.000The same configuration that I'm articulating right now around how it works with mortgages is exactly how the federal government is going to justify hyperinflation when it comes to our $34 trillion debt.
00:06:07.000So for example, if you bought a $1 million home a couple years ago, I know someone in Santa Barbara that did this.
00:06:14.000It's now worth $2.5 million and the interest rate is 3.5%.
00:06:20.000Said differently, just running the numbers in my head, that you are paying less in a mortgage payment than for a luxury rental in downtown Santa Barbara.
00:06:30.000So your mortgage payment is fixed and you want, you're like, can I make this a 50-year payment?
00:08:37.000They're on the outside looking in, renting, owning nothing.
00:08:41.000And then it creates this vicious, what I call cynical financial downward spiral, where then your psychology is not about wealth accumulation.
00:09:20.000You're making a financial, you're being a financial moron, but I totally get why you're in that mindset because like, wait, am I going to put my money in the bank and it gets less valuable every single year because of 15% inflation?
00:09:32.000So I can understand why people arrive at that conclusion.
00:09:35.000And then there will be, it's not Joe Biden, at some point, there will be an actual socialist running for this country.
00:09:42.000And it's going to be very, very hard to defeat that person.
00:09:45.000Where they're going to be like, why don't we just go take the money from the older people?
00:09:49.000If we don't fix this, make homeownership easier, get wages to outpace inflation, get people to buy stuff and have families, you're going to have a volcanic eruption in an election in some ways.
00:10:05.000Because it's their money that will eventually be taken.
00:10:10.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:10:14.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:10:23.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:10:49.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:10:56.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:10:59.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:11:02.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:11:07.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years.
00:11:10.000And since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:11:15.000Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:13:09.000But the book that he wrote on Elon is 10 out of 10.
00:13:12.000I encourage all of you to check it out, all of you to listen to it or to read it.
00:13:17.000You will get a very clear picture of who Elon is, what he wants.
00:13:23.000He's basically a guy with high-functioning Asperger's whose entire life obsession has been going to Mars.
00:13:29.000No exact, like since 12 years old, he's wanted to go to, is someone who wrote, who read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and wants to live it out, amongst other things.
00:13:41.000I'm going to do a whole episode reviewing it at some point.
00:13:43.000So Elon is going in this Twitter fight with Mark Cuban, all about DEI.
00:13:47.000So Mark Cuban snobbishly comes out and he says, let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI because Elon Musk said diverse discrimination on the basis of race, which DEI does, is literally the definition of racism.
00:14:01.000And then Mark Cuban says, look, diversity, it's a good business's look when others don't, to find employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
00:14:10.000You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people at various, and he goes on to say, various races, ethnicity, orientation that are regularly excluded from the hiring consideration.
00:14:18.000By extending our hiring search to include them, we can then find people that are more qualified.
00:14:23.000The loss of DEI phobic companies is my game.
00:14:26.000We live in a country with very diverse demographics in this era where trust of business can be hard to come by.
00:14:30.000People tend to connect more easily to people who are like them.
00:14:56.000So Elon responds and said, okay, Mark Cuban, then we can expect a bunch of short Asian women to be on the Dallas Mavericks, right?
00:15:05.000If it's all about diversity, equity, inclusion, where are all the white people in the NBA?
00:15:10.000Where are all the Asian people in the NBA?
00:15:12.000Oh, so your prized asset that you just sold for $3.5 billion, a big part of it to the Adelson family in Vegas, your prized asset is all about excellence and pursuit of the best.
00:15:29.000So where's your DEI in the National Basketball Association?
00:15:33.000If the National Basketball Association had diversity as a core principle, you would have a bunch of people that were not very good.
00:15:58.000Research shows that companies with DEI policies outperform their counterparts by widening the net of qualified candidates to hire and appealing more Gen Z workers.
00:16:10.000Recognizing that employee differences and play to the strengths of whatever possible.
00:16:16.000The contrast between Mark Cuban and Elon Musk is really telling.
00:16:19.000Musk has built multiple incredibly innovative and successful companies.
00:16:23.000Mark Cuban sold an overvalued company at the peak of the dot-com bubble that collapsed immediately after, and he's never done anything impressive since.
00:16:31.000DEI is the destruction of any meaningful company or enterprise.
00:16:36.000And we see that, what otherwise is known as wokeism, we call the destruction of what is good, true, and beautiful.
00:17:54.000Wayne LaPierre is stepping down as the head of the NRA.
00:17:58.000Obviously, he's been a big player, not as much in the last few years.
00:18:01.000He's been getting older and has been stepping back a bit.
00:18:04.000But if you were in American politics in the 80s, 90s, 2010s, Wayne LaPierre was a huge figure in American political life as head of the NRA.
00:18:13.000He really built the National Rifle Association into the kind of the gun rights juggernaut that it was for so long.
00:18:22.000And whatever, there's been some turmoil at the organization in the last few years, but if he's stepping away now, I think we should be grateful for what he was able to accomplish.
00:18:33.000And we should look at gun rights as something that conservatives are used to kind of this idea that we always lose on a lot of issues, that we never quite get what we're promised.
00:18:43.000And gun rights is a good example of that, where 30 years ago, you actually, even in conservative states, you could not carry a concealed pistol without, you know, without needing to get a permit, or it was very difficult to get a permit.
00:18:58.000Long guns were often heavily restricted.
00:19:00.000It was very hard to own your own gun in America and to carry it around with you.
00:19:06.000Started with just loosening the restrictions on getting permits.
00:19:09.000And now we have constitutional carry as a movement.
00:19:12.000You can drive from Florida all the way up to Idaho.
00:19:15.000And the whole way, you can go entirely through states where you can carry a concealed gun without needing a permit.
00:19:22.000And I think we have to thank groups like the NRA under Wayne LaPierre for being able to achieve that.
00:19:29.000And so I know it's often popular to bash the NRA.
00:19:33.000Andrew's asking, didn't he destroy the NRA?
00:19:35.000Well, whatever they did in recent years, the NRA, he was leading it for probably a good 30 years.
00:19:41.000And, you know, the 90s, the early 2000s, the period where all this progress was being made, he did that as well.
00:19:47.000And so, especially when people are stepping away from public life, you want to take the totality of what they were able to accomplish, not just the most recent things that are happening.
00:19:57.000And gun rights is definitely the thing, the issue, where despite massive opposition from the media, massive opposition from the federal government, massive opposition from every elite institution in American life, it just brushed all of that aside.
00:20:11.000And gun rights was able to win a ton of victories in the courts, a ton of victories at the state and local level.
00:20:16.000And even now, it's still winning victories.
00:20:18.000The Biden administration hates it as an issue.
00:20:21.000And despite that, we still have better gun rights now than we probably did, you know, when Trump took over in 2017.
00:20:28.000All right, we have a pretty funny story coming out of Miami.
00:20:32.000Apparently, there was a brawl at a Miami Mall, and people are saying some rather funny things about it.
00:20:39.000What happened is there was a big brawl at this shopping mall, at the Miami Mall.
00:20:43.000And now afterwards, people are claiming that people were getting attacked, but that they weren't getting attacked by just ordinary teens or Rufians or those people who terrify our shopping malls now.
00:20:54.000They're claiming that the people they saw were eight to ten feet tall, which obviously that's unusual on its own.
00:21:02.000But in addition, of course, the trend that's going on on Twitter is people saying, you know, eight to ten feet tall, these could be the Nephilim.
00:21:09.000Those are the giants of the book of Genesis who allegedly, you know, mixed with...
00:21:16.000Are they the they're the they are the product of the mix between angels and humans?
00:21:20.000Or is it that giants or something like that were from the Nephilim and the humans mixing?
00:21:25.000I can't quite remember the lore there.
00:21:27.000But anyway, Nephilim is trending on Twitter now.
00:21:30.000Of course, we have a lot of people talking about aliens lately.
00:21:34.000I'm sure Charlie would have a far more interesting reaction to this.
00:21:37.000I'm always the skeptic on the staff, so I suspect it is probably just that there was some teens getting in a fight at the Miami Mall and people get a little carried away.
00:21:48.000But there are a lot of funny reactions on Twitter about it.
00:21:52.000DC Draino's tweet, which we weren't quite, if you weren't able to read it, he was saying, how are we not going to be told the truth about why Miami had the biggest police response I've ever seen in my life?
00:22:02.000They're saying it was for teenagers fighting.
00:24:12.000So Florida does employ police officers, and it does, in fact, encourage those police officers to enforce the law and respond to bad things.
00:24:22.000Those are probably considered violations of the California Constitution at this point.
00:24:27.000So if you're from those areas, you're very used to just sort of crime happens and nothing is allowed to be done about it.
00:24:34.000But it is legal in some jurisdictions for police to enforce the law.
00:25:06.000Maybe it is an interdimensional being.
00:25:09.000Because in Joe Biden's America, all of those things are considered more plausible than just some people got rowdy at the mall and the police showed up to stop it.
00:26:27.000What makes the whole what about the players comment ridiculous, referring to the Mavs, is that it presumes that all positions are hired based on some quantitative rather than subjective version of merit.
00:28:02.000And I think it's about time that we had a woman come forward to shape the story in a galaxy far, far away.
00:28:12.000Okay, first of all, let's have a woman shape a story in a galaxy far, far away.
00:28:16.000For basically, I think the last decade or so, Star Wars has been run by Kathleen Kennedy.
00:28:22.000She's like kind of been the director of the whole thing.
00:28:26.000And, you know, I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but if you ask the people who are, they have very strong opinions on this.
00:28:32.000And those opinions are mostly quite negative.
00:28:34.000Second, that director's name is Charmeen Obaid Chinoy, or something.
00:28:41.000She is a Pakistani Canadian journalist, filmmaker, and activist known for her work in films that highlight gender inequality against women.
00:30:06.000You'll talk to people who just say, well, I just want to see a movie with lightsabers and the force and it's fun.
00:30:12.000Okay, sure, but you should try to be better than that.
00:30:16.000You should try to want more from your art.
00:30:20.000And instead, what we're getting is we're just getting this kind of trash that people, like, they'll just watch the same crap and then they'll fill it up with politics and stuff.
00:30:31.000So this is not where Star Wars started to go.
00:30:40.000I'm also told the recent movies weren't very good.
00:30:43.000But conservatives and, you know, just Americans in general, it's like we keep reacting to this in a cyclical way because we keep ponying up money to see these things.
00:30:52.000And the way to resist all of this is to not play the game.
00:30:56.000It's to step back and say, wait, there's a hundred years of good films that have been made.
00:31:03.000Or we could make our own movies or we could read books.
00:31:07.000There are things that you can choose in art that elevate you and there are things that you can watch and read and consume that degrade you.
00:31:15.000And every single day we make a decision.
00:31:17.000Do we want to uplift ourselves or degrade ourselves?
00:31:21.000We had a great conversation about this on the Thought Crime Show the other day, by the way.
00:31:26.000I would encourage all of you to go back and listen to that on the code.
00:31:29.000One part of the Greer code is don't watch any Marvel movies.
00:31:32.000Star Wars definitely counts as one of those.
00:31:35.000So I'd encourage you all to check that out if you want more discussion on that.
00:31:38.000I'm getting asked what movies do I recommend?
00:31:40.000Like Charlie, I don't see that many movies, but I was on a flight recently.
