In this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie talks about the mass deportations happening around the country, the impact on the construction industry, and the impact this could have on the housing market. Charlie is joined by the President of the Turning Point USA Chapter at the University of South Carolina, Trey Davis.
00:00:48.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:32.000Ask me anything where you can ask questions and come on this show, but only if you are a member.
00:01:39.000Members.CharlieKirk.com I also have next to me Mr. Blake.
00:01:44.000Blake might answer questions from you guys, but more importantly during the breaks, we're going to test his blind knowledge of Hillsdale College Roman history.
00:03:28.000So with mass deportations happening around the country, let's just take a second to consider what could happen in the construction industry.
00:03:36.000So in 2022, the American Immigration Council reported that there were over 23% of, or over 23% of the construction workforce in Texas was comprised of illegal and undocumented immigrants.
00:03:51.000So obviously this varies state by state, but regardless, we're sure to see a massive change because 23%, that's almost a quarter of the entire construction workforce.
00:03:59.000So we're going to see a massive change in the construction workforce and the mass deportation with mass deportations on the rise.
00:04:08.000So what do you predict the future of the construction market looks like with there going to be a low supply of construction workers?
00:04:16.000Will we see service and trade workers maybe learn?
00:04:21.000The art of construction and how do you think the housing market will be affected by this?
00:04:57.000Long term, I will say, Trey, long term in the housing market and development, we are going to see a mass adoption of robotics replacing human beings for skilled tasks.
00:06:27.000Now, there will be a lot of replacement and displacement, but I would not underestimate human beings' ability to use technology to find better and greater uses and purposes.
00:06:47.000You could use it to make, yeah, like, for example, can AI-generated art hurt low-end artists?
00:06:51.000Yes, and I think we should worry about that.
00:06:53.000But it could also allow a good artist to create even more art at a much greater scale than before.
00:06:58.000You could do a full motion picture movie of an idea you have.
00:07:01.000So what it's going to do is it's going to sharpen human beings' ability to judge what is good and not good, a skill that we don't always use.
00:07:10.000But there definitely could be some downsides there.
00:07:12.000So anyway, as far as the housing market goes, I also think mass deportation will bring the price.
00:07:17.000of housing down because there will be less bidding for the limited supply.
00:07:52.000I was just blown away to see the response from college students and their energy, as well as the nonsensical questions that were asked and the talking points and all the comments about Doge.
00:08:04.000It was just very interesting to watch.
00:08:06.000But my question is about some of the deportations that are being carried out.
00:08:14.000Maybe not a lot, but some of the individuals are maybe not high priority.
00:08:18.000But do you think we'll get to a point where the DHS will stop approving work authorizations and extensions for those that use it as a shield to stay in the country?
00:08:28.000So first of all, I want to just ask, can you just describe to the audience what that campus vibe was like firsthand?
00:08:57.000We heard lots of students that were skipping class just to be able to come see you and be able to witness just some of the action.
00:09:04.000That's the first time we've been to a college event, so it was a very new experience for us.
00:09:09.000It was obviously hot and sunny and all that, but just hearing a lot of the questions and seeing the perspective of college students and just what has changed and what their experience has been like in college and what blew me away the most was hearing college students say, That once a professor finds out, you know, they're conservative, Christian, fill in the blank, that they're looked on differently and treated differently and graded differently.
00:09:43.000Now, as far as the work authorizations, I don't know.
00:09:48.000Look, the president's stated policy right now is that he wants to continue a steady stream of legal immigration and crackdown on illegal immigration.
00:09:58.000However, if and when, I would have some disagreement with that, if and when it starts to jeopardize the wage growth or the wage integrity of native-born Americans, I would have some problems with that.
00:10:09.000But I think the president is addressing this in a very smart way.
00:10:12.000Go after people that are in this country illegally.
00:10:15.000And you remember that young lady yesterday from Colombia.
00:13:25.000Polybius explains that the Romans had a mixed constitution with the Senate designed to supply what?
00:13:35.000It's going for, I think aristocracy is what he's going for, because he would say in the Greeks they would have oligarchies, which were aristocratic, tyrannies, or like monarchies, and then they would have democracies, which was the mob.
00:13:47.000And he thought Rome had all three of these, because they had the tribunes, who were like the masses.
00:13:52.000They would have monarchy through their consuls, who were like an elected monarch, sort of.
00:13:56.000And then the Senate was the aristocracy.
00:14:44.000If you guys want to dive deep into Churchill, into Roman history, into the U.S. Constitution, into Marxism, no better place than Hillsdale College.

00:16:49.000And I don't know if I have the ability to read fast.
00:16:51.000I have the ability to process information pretty fast.
00:16:53.000I can be sent a paragraph, be sent information, and I'm pretty good at being able to host a show and read what people are saying and then be able to at least make arguments while not everyone has, I think, the ability to do that.
00:18:05.000My friend and I, Lori, started a TPSA faith group in our church last year, and we've invited Seth Gruber to speak to us in September.
00:18:15.000We have a critically important election in November for governor and House of Delegates because the Democratic Party is trying to put abortion in our Constitution, and we want to stop that.
00:18:34.000And with all the upheaval in the government, we're hoping it breaks up some of the monopoly of liberalism in Northern Virginia.
00:18:42.000But we were wondering, in this process, we found out there's no TPUSA action group that I'm aware of in Virginia, or at least no person, and wondered if that's in the works or if there's anybody specific that we can talk to.
00:18:56.000We'd love to work with them in this coming year before this election.
00:19:01.000So first of all, I want to just applaud you, Kendra.
00:19:04.000The fight for life is the most important fight.
00:19:06.000So thank you for doing that and for going against the grain and going against popular, conventional, let's just say, views and doing the right thing.
00:19:20.000The number one piece of emphasis on that fight needs to be the churches.
00:19:24.000If the churches can't speak out on this issue, then there is no chance that you could stop it, especially, though, in a lower turnout type election.
00:19:32.000That's where churches can mobilize and can make up some of that difference.
00:25:16.000I was telling Charlie before, I looked up who the 47th emperor was, and it's not easy to say who the 47th is because there's co-emperors, but the best answer, I think, is Diocletian, which if you look him up, he's a very important reformer emperor.
00:25:45.000I want to get to these two more questions here.
00:25:48.000Polybius argues that the primary flaw of the Roman Constitution is a true or false.
00:25:54.000Was that it impeded decisive and prompt action when it was needed?
00:25:58.000False, because he thought that was one of the things that was good about it.
00:26:01.000It had a deliberative aspect, but when there was an emergency, it could supply decisive action.
00:26:07.000Rome's mixed constitution created a system of checks whereby each part of the regime could prevent the others from becoming too strong or independent because no part of the regime was blank.
00:26:24.000Capable of conducting foreign affairs?
00:26:26.000In control of the military, self-sufficient, or in charge of public finances?
00:26:33.000I think they're going for self-sufficient on that one.
00:26:35.000We can pause if you want to think about it.
00:26:37.000Let's do self-sufficient, because that was the last question, right?
00:26:39.000Okay, just to say, Rome's mixed constitution created a system of checks whereby each part of the regime could prevent others from becoming too strong or independent because no part of the regime was...
00:28:08.000So I'm a 19-year-old conservative pop music artist.
00:28:12.000I want to be able to share my views and build my brand around that.
00:28:15.000But I find it very hard in a liberal industry with Chapel Rhone and Charlie XCX. And I've always been told, oh, you got to push your music towards the LGBTQ community.
00:30:10.000It points everything, and Aristotle's exactly right.
00:30:14.000Everything you do, every action, every inquiry, every art, every good points towards some good.
00:30:18.000It points towards what your definition of good is.
00:30:20.000And there is only one objective definition of good.
00:30:22.000So the point being is if you're going to be in Popstart, do something that points towards the divine, towards the beautiful, not just towards rubbish like Chappelle Rowan.
00:31:49.000So I want to know about that and then what's next?
00:31:54.000If President Trump and her doge have any plans of cleaning up voter rolls and ending this long process of counting ballots after election day.
00:33:19.000I'm interested in your opinion on this third term project that showed up at CPAC this week, you know, purporting to allow President Trump to run again.
00:33:29.000I'm, from my kind of libertarian sort of roots, kind of fundamentally against it.
00:33:35.000But I'd like to see term limits for all elected officials.
00:33:38.000But just wondering, you know, if you could give your context and thoughts on it.
00:33:45.000So as far as Trump's third term, is that the case that we were talking about?
00:34:13.000Because any argument, we're going to hear out.
00:34:16.000No president shall be elected to the office of president more than twice.
00:34:22.000And no person who has held the office of president or has acted as president for more than two years of a term, which some other person who was elected president shall be elected.
00:34:32.000To the office of president more than once.
00:34:59.000What it says is no one who is ineligible to the office of president can be elected vice president.
00:35:05.000Sometimes people will come up with, I think it's a cop-out, where they'll say, well, eligibility only means things like they can't be born in a foreign country, they can't be below the age, and this is something else.
00:35:16.000I'll be honest, I think those are all massive cop-outs.
00:35:19.000We passed this bill because FDR made himself president more than two terms.
00:35:23.000We thought that was a bad precedent that we shouldn't repeat.
00:35:57.000The text of the Constitution is, can't be president more than twice.
00:36:00.000And in the long run, I think that's a good practice to have.
00:36:03.000Because what, as we'll see with Rome, what undoes any republic is the idea that one person is just totally indispensable to it.
00:36:11.000By the way, all of you guys, this is one of the reasons why you should support Turning Point USA. You should have this Constitution with you at all times.
00:36:48.000First off, I want to publicly thank President Trump for signing the executive order keeping education accessible and ending the COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools.
00:36:57.000But I'm not sure if the president or if other people are aware of what's been happening in California since 2016. Governor Jerry Brown passed a bill, the SB 277, which removed personal belief or religious belief as a reason to be exempted from vaccines in order to enter school.
00:37:15.000Do you see Trump doing the same thing for all vaccines?
00:37:19.000Because the rationale inside of that executive order, the language used is pretty compelling.
00:37:26.000It's talking about children being coerced to take a shot and conditioning their education on it, parents being, and how parents should be empowered, free to make their own decisions.
00:37:39.000And so this is critical because as RFK Jr. has stated, there are no pre-licensure double-blind placebo tests for any of the vaccines out there.
00:37:48.000And so I'm not comfortable injecting my two boys with aborted fetal tissue and no neurotoxins without that 100% assurance that they'll be okay, along with the $5 billion paid out to the vaccine injury compensation programs.
00:38:03.000So my question is, do you see him actually Moving just beyond COVID-19 and going to all vaccines and giving Californians, and I know Colorado and Hawaii have a similar thing, but giving Californians the right to go back to school and not being forced out of school.
00:39:38.000Ever see your dog slowing down or having health issues and wonder, what can I do to make them better?

00:41:30.000The struggle of the orders encompassed a period of about 200 years during which the Plebeians demanded that the patriarchs give them greater social political...
00:42:00.000That's why the Roman Pope is called the Pontifex.
00:42:03.000The Evocatio was an ancient Roman prayer that asked what?
00:42:07.000It was this funny prayer they would do where if they were attacking an enemy city, they would pray like, hey, gods of the other people, you should come be our gods instead.
00:42:18.000So for foreign peoples to abandon their gods and turn to Rome?
00:42:22.000I think it was foreign gods to abandon.
00:44:49.000It's a valid concern because the best thing the Department of Education has currently is they have the Civil Rights Office where they can say, you're discriminating against white kids or whatever.
00:45:00.000I'd hope that we can get rid of the Department of Education, but move that to the DOJ, because that law still exists.
00:45:05.000I will say, Blake is exactly right, that functionally, the ability to enforce and police anti-white discrimination, that will go to the Department of Justice.
00:45:24.000Not unintended, but that's just the reality that...
00:45:26.000But you could also vote with your feet.
00:45:28.000I know that sounds terrible because I don't like telling people to leave their homes, but the federalized Department of Education has done such damage.
00:45:36.000Declining test scores, massive administration.
00:45:39.000And let me just tell you one number that Dr. Larry Arnn told us on our show, which everyone should commit to memory.
