00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:12.000We're in the Ask Us Anything hour, the Ask We Anything hour.
00:02:21.000Why are so many people in our country in favor of keeping illegal criminals in the U.S. and thinking they're like the sweetest people in the world?
00:02:33.000I'm getting an impression that people, for some reason, are now voting for Democrats in the off elections and possibly midterms.
00:02:41.000Do people, because of Trump not doing stuff fast enough, but do they understand the bills that he has signed to like lower taxes, no tax on tips, don't kick in until 2026?
00:02:51.000It seems like they want those things to start.
00:02:54.000As soon as he signs and drops the pen, like it starts that moment.
00:02:57.000And by the way, cute mascot right there in the middle.
00:03:00.000And have you named him the duck or is it puddles?
00:03:03.000I think I just called him Ducky the Duck, which I know is incorrect, but I don't follow enough college football.
00:03:29.000I actually got into this this last week with someone that was like, if we deport all these people, who's going to work in the meat packing plant?
00:03:36.000Who's going to work in the farming industry?
00:03:38.000Who's going to work in all these places?
00:03:40.000And then my response to them was, well, who's going to work at all in 10 years with the AI revolution?
00:04:21.000Yeah, they can be really nice people, but they broke the law.
00:04:24.000It's kind of a suffocating, there's a lot of sentimentalism in American life where you really want things to be a like a Hallmark movie or something comparable, really strong.
00:04:36.000People just are easily manipulated by emotional appeals.
00:04:40.000And it's one reason it's important what the administration is doing to really emphasize, first of all, a lot of these people are very bad.
00:04:47.000But you also have to say, even if they're not literal rapists or sexual predators, they're people who broke the law.
00:05:05.000Do you have any thoughts on that, Joe Bob, before the second one?
00:05:08.000I mean, you pretty much all tied it up.
00:05:10.000I think from a more granular level, not necessarily the people in power that want the cheap labor, but the people that don't quite understand how difficult it is to build a thriving culture and society, that don't understand the founding of the country, and that don't recognize that, hey, if you don't maintain this, it will go away.
00:05:27.000And just, oh, yeah, we can let in a bunch of third worlders, a bunch of Somalis, and that won't degrade the culture at all.
00:05:34.000And it's just inaccurate, and it kind of shows a certain amount of ineptitude in just understanding what the country is.
00:05:44.000Which is why Club America is so important.
00:05:47.000On the who will do those jobs thing, I think about, I think this is intuitive.
00:05:51.000For example, people realize with ChatGPT, for example, if you ask ChatGPT to write everything, write all of your emails, example, or to write all of your homework assignments, I think people intuitively understand you lose the ability to do that.
00:06:12.000It can be a tool, but if you become wholly dependent on a tool, you do atrophy your own abilities.
00:06:17.000So the answer to who will work in a meatpacking plant or who will do anything else is, well, the reason our people aren't doing that is because we have gotten ourselves hooked on this endless spigot of illegal labor.
00:06:29.000And that matters in so many things because we're de-skilling ourselves.
00:06:52.000World War II, we had the women in the warehouses making bullets and manufacturing arms and all these things in the U.S. Like we are a resilient people, but hardship must come first for us to become resilient.
00:07:06.000And we've just gotten used to this comfort lifestyle with illegal labor on so many different levels where our society used to be you work really hard.
00:07:15.000Like to build a house, you would have to save up the money for the lumber and work really hard and build the house.
00:07:21.000And then you can have the comfort of sitting down in the sanctuary of that house.
00:07:26.000But now we live in a society where you're renting all the time.
00:07:30.000The thought of buying a house is almost impossible.
00:07:33.000And then on top of that, there's programs like BNPL, which Buy Now Pay Later, where it's quite literally the opposite of work hard and reap the reward.
00:07:41.000It's you get the reward first, and then you have a six-part payment plan after the fact to work hard.
00:08:53.000I was going to say it's a combination between Trump fires people up, but then also when Trump's in the White House, a lot of conservatives go, okay, cool, we're good for right now.
00:09:43.000If that's kicking in this next year, there are hopefully some of those lower propensity people see that win in their pocketbooks this next year can improve their mentality.
00:09:52.000Yeah, Charlie would always say complacency is a cancer.
00:09:54.000And so it's like, it's typical with Republicans to kind of get a win and then sit back and think everything's fine.
00:10:00.000Where Charlie's mindset, literally in this studio and this chair right here, after the win in 2024, I just saw a video this last week.
00:10:10.000Charlie literally 13 minutes after it was declared that President Trump had won, 13 minutes after, Charlie texted his friends and said, let's start thinking about the data for the midterms.
00:10:39.000Are you ready to drop up to 20 pounds or more by the new year?

00:11:49.000That's 864-644-1900 or visit their website at myphdweightloss.com.
00:11:56.000That's 864-644-1900 and mention code NEWYER or visit their website at myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:07.000Someone pointed out, John emailed, and he pointed out, I think in regards to who's going to work a lot of jobs, we have a lot of underemployed people in America.
00:12:16.000He says, remember the forgotten men and women, the U6 unemployment number.
00:12:20.000That's not just the big in-the-news unemployment.
00:12:22.000It's people who are discouraged, so they're not looking.
00:12:25.000And it's people who are stuck in part-time when they want to be full-time.
00:12:28.000And there's 14 million Americans in that pool of people.
00:12:32.000That's a lot of jobs that could be filled by Americans, not by people imported to undercut wages from abroad.
00:12:39.000I was going to say, that sounds like 14 million people who should get out of the country to make way for the 14 million people who want to be full-time employees.
00:13:30.000For those of you who are listening at AmFest, every single year, we have a members-only lounge where you can see exclusive content, which is almost, it's a smaller room, more intimate.
00:14:04.000Yeah, we have Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, Erica Kirk, Megan Kelly, Steve Bannon, Rob Schneider, Vivek, James O'Keefe.
00:15:34.000The impact of one individual volunteer on a presidential race is low because a lot of people vote in a presidential race.
00:15:40.000The number of people who are voting in your party primary for a state Senate race in May, that's going to be lower.
00:15:49.000Your impact as an individual can be that much greater if you're going out, talking to people, knocking on doors, raising awareness, even just whipping your friends in your church or in your workplace or in your social circle to vote.
00:16:02.000If you turn out five voters, much bigger impact in a primary than in a general election.
00:16:08.000When you could also probably almost guarantee you that the squishy Republicans that are getting primarily will not have the same fervor on their side.
00:19:23.000You follow guys like Chris Ruffo, who's often doing reports on this sort of thing.
00:19:28.000If you can find these good conservative sources who are able to generate detailed information about what's going on, as a great example, this entire Somali story in Minnesota, that's a product of, it was local blogging at Powerline Blog.
00:19:44.000And then Chris Rufo and his colleague, I think Ryan Thorpe was his name, they did a national story on it.
00:19:51.000And they got into the weeds on it where they said, here are these specific welfare programs that are being defrauded by this immigrant community.
00:20:02.000And if you are aware of that, you can share this with other people.
00:20:07.000Honestly, what's frustrating is the biggest problem I've seen over the years in describing insane things the left does is what they do is so insane.
00:20:14.000People just assume you're making it up.
00:20:16.000That was a huge problem with the transgender thing.
00:20:18.000You're saying, yeah, they're saying men are actually women and they want them in sports and in your bathroom and in your locker rooms and they want them to hang out with your middle school girls.
00:20:26.000And you really needed hundreds of examples of this happening before they'd believe you.
00:20:31.000And they still don't believe you on some things, like that in Oregon or California, you can lose custody of your kids if you don't want to go along with this.
00:20:38.000They can secretly trans your kid at school.
00:20:41.000It's, I don't know if you have a thought on this, Job.
00:20:44.000I genuinely have a hard time with the, it's so crazy they don't believe you.
00:20:49.000That's, yes, a difficult problem to solve.
00:20:53.000I'm going to give you a ridiculous piece of advice that I don't even necessarily know that I would take.
00:20:58.000Well, I do it, but I don't know that you should necessarily take.
00:21:01.000When I'm engaging with just people in the public, I always ask leading questions from like a, you know, I don't ask, do you go to church?
00:23:03.000And honestly, if they don't believe you, if they don't believe the Charlie Kirk show, if they don't believe conservative people on X, they might believe the New York Times.
00:23:13.000You might be surprised what they'll admit buried deep in the pages of liberal newspapers.
00:23:18.000It's like some of the best articles about why affirmative action is a disaster.
00:23:22.000LA Times, the LA Times once did a very long series on there was affirmative action at a Los Angeles hospital.
00:23:36.000And so they weren't hiring the best people.
00:23:37.000And so all their patients started dying.
00:23:39.000And so people would beg, don't take me to that hospital.
00:23:42.000Me to the other hospital, even if it's farther away.
00:23:44.000There's no substitute for being informed, and I would just encourage you to read so much like Charlie would read every day, really devour knowledge, facts, and you will make yourself prepared for battle.
00:23:59.000And that's one of the first steps towards waking people up, I feel.
00:25:30.000I went on to Proclaim 365, Erica's company.
00:25:37.000And I wanted to know, will she continue?
00:25:41.000I know she's got a lot on her plate besides all of this nonsense on the internet, but as CEO of Turning Point, will she continue that in 2026?
00:25:52.000Because Charlie said, let's make Kevin crowded.
00:25:55.000And I have been evangelizing since his death because he affected me so much.
00:26:00.000And I've got a small group of people, and we want to use Proclaim 365 and go into the new year and really devour and get into the Bible and learn from both Erica and Pastor Cadiz.
00:26:16.000No, I just wanted to see if that will continue because she is just inspiring me so much as well.
00:29:33.000Finding a woman who shares your values, faith, family, and patriotism feels nearly impossible, but it doesn't have to be.
00:29:40.000Selective Search, America's leading matchmaking firm, is changing the game.
00:29:45.000They connect strong, successful men like you, men who love God, love this country, and want a family, with incredible women who share your values.
00:29:54.000These are intelligent, faith-driven women who put family first and still believe in traditional values.
00:32:48.000Just left the room, but we still have his question.
00:32:51.000He has, when will you guys discuss the issue with Wall Street firms like BlackRock buying single-family homes with baby boomer pension money, artificially preventing the housing market from correcting so young people can actually afford to buy a gosh darned house?
00:34:31.000One out of four of all home purchases in the last year were out of these firms like BlackRock that come in, and they are actually bidding out first-time homebuyers and younger Americans that want to be able to have their slice of the American dream.
00:34:47.000They know about it and they talk about it.
00:34:48.000In fact, when I do my campus tours, time after time they say, Charlie, when are we going to stop BlackRock from being able to come in and purchase homes in our communities?
00:34:57.000I think it's wrong that a first-time homebuyer in Chandler or Mesa or Gilbert that's just scrapping together enough money that they can has to compete against a $10 trillion private equity fund.
00:35:09.000And so I think these are some prudent decisions that we can make.
