00:00:03.000Are there jobs Americans don't want to do?
00:00:05.000There's a professor saying that you should marry the ocean.
00:00:09.000And what is my thoughts on the Gavin Newsom recall effort in California?
00:00:14.000A comprehensive, fun, fast-paced, exciting episode is here, brought to you right now by all of you that help support us at charliekirk.com/slash support.

00:00:44.000I want to thank Russ and Kim from Oxnard, California for supporting us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:51.000And Brian from Florida, thank you guys so much.
00:01:20.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:32.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models of cars, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:01:40.000You want someone to just fiddle around on a computer all day, or do you want to be able to access what you need?
00:05:44.000The crisis on the southern border and the threat that is growing is currently a bigger threat to the United States of America than the Chinese coronavirus.
00:06:03.000It's a threat also because people are coming with the Chinese coronavirus.
00:06:09.000There are 7,000 unaccompanied minors in shelters.
00:06:18.000I laugh when people say human beings are basically good.
00:06:23.000How can human beings possibly be basically good when you see 7,000 families that just abandon their kids and say, we're going to sell you for cash so you could walk across the southern border with either a cartel member, a smuggler, or a human trafficker?
00:06:41.000What we learned on our podcast yesterday, which I encourage you to check out, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast on Apple Podcast or Spotify, Tom Holman informed us, and he said a term, and I made him stop.
00:07:18.000Where you'll have a cartel member that wants to get into the United States, someone that wants to be involved in drug smuggling.
00:07:28.000But he currently doesn't have a child that he can cross the border with.
00:07:32.000So in order to get asylum status, in order to get a favorable judgment if he is caught, he will either cross the border in anticipation of being caught with that child or just go into a port of entry and declare asylum status with the child.
00:07:54.000Now, President Trump developed a creative solution called the Remain in Mexico solution, where basically, if you come here and declare asylum to wait for your court date, you must wait in Mexico.
00:08:10.000You don't get released into the interior of the United States.
00:08:16.000Currently, the surge happening on the southern border is one of the greatest increases we have ever seen.
00:08:27.0007,000 unaccompanied minors in just the last couple of weeks.
00:09:04.000One of the most frustrating lies that I have to encounter, and I have to say it's mostly from suburban voters that believe this is the fallacy of shared intentions or the fallacy of shared outcomes.
00:09:28.000We hear all the time, well, we all want the same thing, we just have different ways of getting there.
00:09:38.000And I'm sure in certain circumstances, it's absolutely true.
00:09:41.000If you're dealing with a genuine moderate, you're dealing with someone that loves their country.
00:09:47.000But less and less, and almost to an extent that's non-existent, I do not believe that we want the same thing.
00:09:56.000There is no way that you can have the same intentions that we have, the people that love our country, and forget the term conservative, forget the term Republican, just someone who loves their country, and then make the decisions that Joe Biden and his administration have made when it comes to the southern border.
00:10:53.000That's part of the answer, but it's not the whole answer, and it's not even the most important part of the answer.
00:10:59.000To attribute what's happening on the southern border as well-intentioned activists running our government that now have an unexpected crisis on their hands does not accurately depict how malevolent these people are.
00:11:21.000So now we have a situation on our southern border that will jeopardize our way of life and everything that we know.
00:11:31.000And I'm going to keep on diving into it.
00:11:36.000My buddy Ed Zeman has a new thing you got to check out.
00:11:39.000Maybe you are an RV person and you are looking for a good RV resort.
00:11:56.000It's very close to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.
00:11:59.000It's a luxury RV resort that was just completed in 2020 and has spared no expense to bring you the best in comfort and beauty.
00:12:08.000I have been there, and again, I could tell you it's remarkable.
00:12:10.000It has everything you could want as a high-end RV owner, including two pools, a clubhouse, 30-acre lake, a billiard room, card room, office kayaking on the river, and plenty more things to do for an active lifestyle.
00:12:24.000So go to thetidesrvresort.com or call them directly at 941-244-5744.
00:13:35.000Only if you study history are you able to use the term unprecedented.
00:13:39.000You see, history matters, and it matters more than I think people realize.
00:13:43.000We don't teach our children history anymore.
00:13:45.000Instead, we teach them selected narratives from the last couple hundred years to try and establish a belief that America is a racist, bigoted, homophobic, colonialist country, of which it is not true at all.
00:14:01.000And so only if you study history are you able to see whether or not something is unprecedented and whether or not something is a danger to your country.
00:14:09.000Again, this all comes back to the struggle of human nature.
00:14:12.000If you believe human nature is malleable and is able to be changed, then history really doesn't mean much to you because you're smarter than everyone who came before you.
00:14:20.000So why on earth would you study history?
00:14:22.000If you think human beings act in predictable patterns and they're likely to do things that they've done before, whether it be civilizationally or politically or personally, then history is a really important guide.
00:14:34.000And we know that looking back into history, open and porous borders are dangerous for a culture, a civilization, and a country.
00:14:43.000And now just looking in the last couple of years, what we are seeing at the southern border, the numbers related to it are unprecedented in every single sense.
00:14:58.000We are now expecting around 100,000 border apprehensions.
00:15:06.000Those are just the people that are being apprehended.
00:15:11.000Tom Homan, who was on our podcast, I encourage you to check it out, said that there's over 100,000 getaways a month.
00:15:24.000A getaway is someone who just slips through the cracks and no one stops him or her.
00:15:31.000There's a video that I have on Facebook that has been viewed over 35 million times.
00:15:37.000It's when I decided to go visit the southern border.
00:15:41.000I decided to go visit the southern border with Art Del Cuerto, a good friend of mine who he's a border patrol agent himself, and he helps run the border patrol union on the southern border.
00:15:56.000And he brought me right down to the southern border, and I saw myself how wide open, porous the boundary between the United States and Mexico is.
00:16:15.000There is no wall, there is no barrier, and that is right there in right near Tucson, Arizona, that sector right near Nahalis that guns, drugs, and children are sex trafficked every single day.
00:16:37.000And so this idea that the people running our country have any interest at all, securing the southern border is incorrect.
00:16:55.000And I also don't think, I think that Republicans deserve some criticism here.
00:17:01.000How is it possible that in an era of new technology that we do not have thousands of drones on the southern border, not armed, but for reconnaissance, thermal detectors?
00:17:14.000I don't understand why we have not updated some of the technological advances to be able to have a zero tolerance policy on the southern border.
00:19:25.000Okay, so let's get to some sound here.
00:19:28.000Joe Biden has to own this border crisis.
00:19:31.000Now, even the activist media is being forced to cover this in some way.
00:19:38.000Let's go to cut 24, where Joe Biden just ignores questions from reporters.
00:19:42.000Now, something very interesting is happening.
00:19:46.000The activist media is now feeling the financial pressure of not having Donald Trump around.
00:19:54.000The Huffington Post laid off, I think it was like 60 or 70 people.
00:19:59.000And by the way, in a very cruel way, mind I add.
00:20:03.000And the Huffington Post is not exactly an institution that I think is worthy of preservation for the advancement of Western civilization.
00:20:14.000However, it was pretty heartless the way that they laid off these Huffington Post reporters.
00:20:18.000With that being said, that got more coverage and sympathy in the activist Twitter sphere than the Keystone XL pipeline getting signed away through an executive fiat.
00:20:29.000But the press is feeling the financial pressure.
00:20:44.000Mainstream media web traffic has slumped by 20% after President Trump left office, with the press writing three times fewer stories about Biden than they did about Trump in the same month he took office in 2017.
00:20:57.000Basically, traffic, revenue, and profits are going down.
00:21:02.000The media needs to justify their huge overhead.
00:21:07.000So some of them are saying, hey, there must be some story out here somewhere, something we can ask Joe Biden to sell newspapers.
00:21:39.000Asking, is there a crisis at the border, sir?
00:21:41.000And Joe Biden looks, at best, dazed and confused.
00:21:46.000Now, another reporter, this is probably one of the reporters that got laid off at the Huffington Post.
00:21:50.000She believes, or he, I haven't seen this clip, but I've read the transcript, believes the most pressing issue of our time is whether or not there is a White House cat.
00:22:27.000Do you think Kaylee McEnany got a question like that?
00:22:29.000Do you think Sarah Sanders or Sean Spicer?
00:22:32.000Basically, the question that was asked out of Kaylee McEnany every single day is, does Donald Trump enjoy beating you guys in the morning with a rod?
00:23:01.000There are reports out there that the number of unaccompanied migrants detained at the border has tripled in the last two weeks to 3,200 plus.
00:23:56.000Cut 36, Biden administration saying that the crisis, the border, is not a crisis, and that we don't need to put labels on it because we know it.
00:24:45.000They want millions of people to come into the country because eventually they believe they'll vote Democrat.
00:24:50.000They can use it as a political issue, despite the amount of crime that is then being imported into our country.
00:24:59.000This idea of the peaceful illegal is just not true.
00:25:03.000And most people are afraid to talk about this because they are afraid they're going to be called the R-word.
00:25:08.000Well, we talk about facts on this program, and here they are.
00:25:12.000In the fiscal year 2019, ICE agents arrested more than 143,000 people in the interior of the United States.
00:25:20.000The most convictions or criminal charges pending against them were DUI, 74,000, drug offenses, 67,000, and 1,900 convicted of homicide.
00:25:33.000That's right, 1,900 murderers that are just allowed to come straight into our country.
00:25:38.000Convictions or criminal charges of the aliens arrested also included 1,800 homicide-related crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, 37,000 assaults, and 10,000 sex crimes.
00:25:53.000Of those, 4,276 were known or suspected gang members, 675 of whom are believed to have been gang members of the brutal MS-13.
00:26:03.00031 were known or suspected terrorists.
00:26:08.000Of all those arrested by ICE in fiscal year 2020, 90% had criminal convictions or charged at the time of arrest.
00:26:17.000The Founding Fathers warned us about something, and I mentioned this on Steve Hilton's program on Fox News, and it resonated with some people, but I think I could build it out a little bit better here, which is the Founding Fathers warned us that if you were ever in a set of circumstances where the rulers, the people that make the laws, the people that administer the rules and laws, don't live under the laws that they pass,
00:26:46.000then you will no longer have a republic.
00:26:48.000You will have a dictatorship or a tyranny.
00:27:12.000We went through this in the Obamacare debate when Congress was exempting themselves from Obamacare.
00:27:19.000Understand that members of Congress are exempt from the cost and the consequences of illegal immigration.
00:27:28.000Their neighborhoods, their private schools, their colleges, their corporations, their country clubs will not be impacted by another 5 million Nicaraguans coming into America.
00:27:41.000Meanwhile, 17 million Americans remain unemployed in the United States, all seeking full-time work.
00:27:52.000The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 6.9 million people are out of the labor force entirely and 6.1 million people remain underemployed.
00:28:03.000So, therefore, by definition, you bring in another 5 or 6 million people into the country.
00:28:10.000Well, whose jobs are they going to take?
00:28:12.000And will it actually result in wages going higher?
00:29:28.000Bain Capital, right here, our commitment to achieving racial equity and social justice, provide more than $100 million to our partners over the next 10 years to organizations focus on social justice, civil rights, and racial equality.
00:29:41.000Create economic development initiative, improve diverse representation.
00:29:51.000This is all part of a woke supremacist agenda, or what we call the woke industrial complex.
00:30:00.000And basically, it benefits everyone except the country and people who love the country.
00:30:10.000And the open border crisis that we have right now contributes to this directly.
00:30:18.000Instead of addressing the crisis we have in America of mental health, suicide, opioid addiction, business closures, the death of entrepreneurship, student debt, the erosion of the middle class, our leaders say, you know, the way that we're going to be able to address all of this?
00:30:33.000Let's open up the floodgates to the third world with no attempts whatsoever to try to stem or prevent this and remake America quickly in our image.
00:30:47.000If a country does not have a shared history, language, or culture, it is no longer a country.
00:30:58.000And it comes down to this fundamental question: is America our home or is it a colony?
00:31:07.000Or most importantly, is America a country that has an economy in it or is America an economy that happens to be within a country?
00:31:18.000America's our home and it's our country.
00:32:27.000So, if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.
00:32:37.000NobleGoldInvestments.com or call 877-646-5347.
00:32:57.000You guys can read alongside me, a project of Turning Point USA, where we profile professors so you understand where your tuition dollars are going and why the country is headed in a very uncertain direction.
00:33:12.000Today's Professor Watchlist, we are talking about Amber Catherine.
00:33:17.000She is a professor at Santa Monica College.
00:33:24.000Now, before I go any further, philosophy comes from two Greek words: philo, which means love.
00:33:33.000It's where we get the idea of brotherly love, not agape love, not storge love or eros love, but phileo love, brotherly love, but a love that is non-romantic, but still very serious and respected, and wisdom.
00:33:51.000That's where we get the word philosophy from.
00:33:54.000As I start to talk more about Amber Catherine, you can see she does not love wisdom.
00:34:00.000So, Catherine, Amber Catherine, teaches your children this.
00:34:04.000She serves as a co-organizer of an event, facilitating and helping students marry the ocean.
00:34:16.000That's right, she oversees a pagan ceremony where students are able to participate in a ceremony of giving their vows to nature.
00:34:28.000She called this the eco-sextravravaganza, the eco-sextravaganza, described as a quote, rallying call to incite intergenerational barrier-busting planetary dialogue.
00:34:44.000According to the COSER, and I'm reading from professorwatchlist.org, remember, these are the people that are teaching your children and grandchildren.
00:34:50.000Aren't you lucky to spend $70,000 a year to have these very enlightened people teach your children?
00:34:59.000A student newspaper at Santa Monica College covering the event: students underwent an eco-boot camp as part of the eco-sex travaganza.
00:35:07.000Organizers included University of California Professor Elizabeth Stevens and a pornographic actress, Annie Sprinkle.
00:35:16.000Organizers, in fact, instructed the students in attendance to, quote, view earth as a lover rather than as a mother or another being rather than a separate entity.
00:35:27.000In another interview with Campus Reform, Catherine stated the goals of the event were for students to develop a deeper love and lust for America.
00:35:38.000So when I say the left is actually engaged in earth worship, they are.
00:35:45.000Participants marry the ocean in a ceremony conducted on the beach the following day.
00:35:50.000Quote, today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all.
00:35:59.000And students happily participate in this.
00:36:03.000You see, this is what happens when you have no God.
00:36:08.000Therefore, you enter a state of confusion and you don't understand what the purpose of nature is.
00:36:14.000So because Amber Catherine has no wisdom, she looks around and she says, well, nature must be there for us to have some sort of eco-sextravaganza relationship with.
00:36:29.000Why do you think that young millennials in Santa Monica who are married don't want to have children?
00:36:34.000Maybe because they've been learning from Amber Catherine that children pollute the earth and we work for the earth and we are nothing but visitors here on this planet, which of course, biblical wisdom will tell you the exact opposite, that the earth is here for us.
00:36:50.000I believe in human supremacy over the planet.
00:36:54.000All human beings, by the way, there's a human hierarchy.
00:36:59.000The water, the sun, the mountains, the air, the birds, and the animals are there for our pleasure, our flourishing, our multiplication, our replication.
00:37:11.000We are not here to get in some sort of a strange relationship with the earth.
00:37:19.000We should respect it, and it's in our self-interest to do so.
00:37:24.000But indulging in this quasi-paganistic belief that Amber Catherine advances shows exactly the heart of the American environmentalist movement.
00:37:37.000And it's headquartered on a college campus near you.
00:37:40.000I love some of the emails that we get here.
00:37:45.000Here's one from Tom, emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:37:49.000Charlie, thank you so much for mentioning the Federalist article yesterday about the Naperville School District 203 bringing in the critical race theory program to teachers.
00:38:01.000My child goes to the Naperville School District, and I didn't know about this.
00:38:07.000This stuff obviously goes on without public knowledge.
00:38:24.000So yesterday, I spent time with some friends, and they listened on AM560, The Answer, and they listened to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, of which we are very thankful.
00:38:35.000And I was talking to some guys that were running for school board, really good guys, and they're doing the right thing.
00:38:39.000And they did not even know about the Illinois State Board of Education new guidelines that were put in.
00:38:45.000There are people that are in the positions or running to be in the positions that don't even know everything that's happening in these states or these school districts.
00:39:10.000I've never seen Such powerful people complain so much and try to get sympathy from the rest of the population.
00:39:22.000Have you noticed how the ruling class, when anything doesn't go their way or they don't have record sales that they want or desire, the new way to give yourself permanency, well, it's first, the first way is by buying progressive insurance and no, not the company, is do the correct woke action items and that will save your career.
00:39:51.000The second thing, though, then, is to then play the victim, like Megan Markle.
00:39:57.000Now, Piers Morgan, I don't know if Piers Morgan was fired or Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain.
00:42:15.000And people online are now saying that Tucker Carlson is trying to target and dox her because he kept on saying her name over and over again.
00:42:25.000If you're in the public limelight, you're going to get online harassment.
00:42:28.000Everyone has different ways of dealing with it.
00:42:31.000I've chose to deal with it by not having the apps on my phone.
00:42:41.000In fact, I like it when they write about things we have to say.
00:42:46.000I don't actually, this is a very interesting point.
00:42:50.000The things that bother me the most are the misrepresentations of what I have to say.
00:42:55.000You see, when the Daily Mail and all these news outlets wrote accurately what I had to say about Megan Markle and Prince Harry, it's like, this is a perfect article.
00:43:08.000People are texting it to me and they're saying, wow, the Daily Mail has.
00:43:23.000But for Taylor Lorenz, she brings up a point that is very interesting, which is that the ruling class is so deeply unhappy, and they're unhappy because they don't have wisdom.
00:43:36.000Cheerfulness is a byproduct of wisdom.
00:43:39.000They're also unhappy because they don't have purpose.
00:43:42.000And their purpose for the last couple years has been pathologically destroying Donald Trump because they thought of him as a Benito Mussolini figure.
00:43:48.000So their identity was wrapped up in this moral high ground that every action they took, every flight that they flew on, every meal they ate, every tweet they sent, they felt as if this is our Mussolini moment.
00:44:07.000We will take him over and we will be known as the good guys.
00:44:10.000And they realize Trump is gone and their life is devoid of purpose, meaning, shallow, empty.
00:44:19.000So many of these people are now looking for a new enemy, antagonist is a good word, to fill that void.
00:44:35.000You see, college campuses are not good at a lot of things, but they produce oppressed Olympians better than I've ever seen.
00:44:44.000So here's how the oppression Olympics work: it's a competition of who can get the most virtue-signaling points.
00:44:55.000If you're a black lesbian woman in a wheelchair, you are by definition more oppressed in the hierarchy of the left than a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant male.
00:45:14.000And if you dare challenge any of this oppression Olympic nonsense, we're going to call you the R-word.
00:45:22.000You see, this is where the broader population of our country needs to mock and reject people all up and down the chattering class and the activist media and the Netflix Hulu paramount production class.
00:45:45.000Anytime that they try to say, feel sorry for us, life is so hard.
00:45:50.000You know who we should feel sorry for?
00:45:54.000The people that could truly participate in the victim Olympics.
00:46:00.000How about the 40,000 families that lost loved ones to opioid addiction last year?
00:46:10.000I think that those families probably had a more difficult year than Taylor Lorenz, who probably earned six figures a year to go write mountains of drivel for the New York Times.
00:46:23.000You see, second wave feminism for a brief moment was about rising above your circumstances, being tougher.
00:46:35.000What college campuses should do, which they don't do, is teach young people that the world is a dark and uncertain place.
00:46:46.000We are going to make you tougher and more capable and more able to deal with the inevitable suffering of life and rise above your circumstances.
00:47:00.000And after college, our whole media says, let's teach you how to complain and remove anything in your life around you that you don't like and turn you into an activist.
00:47:12.000A common point of concern is what's happening on the southern border, and we've built that out in great detail.
00:47:21.000And one of our listeners here says, Charlie, both the right and the left are to blame for what's happening on the southern border.
00:47:31.000And so the Republicans have decided to do nothing when it comes to the southern border because the Chamber of Commerce, the national chamber of commerce, not your local chamber of commerce, has been demanding cheap labor for decades.
00:47:47.000And then you have a flow of cheap labor, an unregistered border jumping class, which then becomes illegally domiciled into our country, taking work from Americans.
00:47:58.000And that's one of the biggest lies that I hear.
00:48:01.000I heard this from a ruling class member recently at an undisclosed location.
00:48:08.000He says, Charlie, I listened to your program.
00:48:14.000He was very complimentary, and he does listen.
00:48:18.000He said, but I have to tell you, all my years of business, all my years of doing merger and acquisitions, building companies, and he has a very, very impressive career.
00:48:37.000He said, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, and El Salvadorians and Hondurans are doing jobs Americans don't want to do.
00:48:50.000I'm sure you've heard this before from your friends or from popular media.
00:48:55.000In fact, the liberals will commonly say, the leftists, I should say, and even the Chamber of Commerce types, they'll say, well, who's going to pick your vegetables?
00:49:05.000Well, first of all, that's an incredibly racist thing to say, to think that the only thing a border jumper is capable of doing is picking vegetables.
00:49:13.000You are now implying a racial stereotype that I'm not.
00:50:53.000In fact, Peggy Noonan, who is an establishment Republican biographer who writes for the Wall Street Journal, very smart, but she was very nasty to Trump in the last couple of years, and they were feuding back and forth.
00:51:08.000But she was also a biographer of Ronald Reagan, H.W. Bush, very, very, very smart woman.
00:51:14.000Recently, she allowed Trump to get to her and vice versa.
00:51:17.000However, she has a great quote, and she was a speechwriter for Reagan.
00:51:22.000She has phenomenal diction, word selection.
00:51:27.000Albeit very, very foolish at times in her approach to Trump.
00:51:32.000But she says, according to all sources, H.W. Bush did not want to give a speech after the Berlin Wall fell because he, quote, did not want to rub it in.
00:51:46.000What an unbelievable missed opportunity.
00:51:49.000We beat Soviet communism based on a theological debate, the theological debate of the Soviets.
00:51:57.000Their position was that Stalinism and Leninism and Mother Russia is the ultimate good, and everyone must do what they can to preserve and protect it.
00:52:06.000Our theological perspective is that we are in a vertical relationship as human beings with God first, then country, family, individual.
00:52:20.000And there's a very important takeaway here to what H.W. Bush did next.
00:52:25.000And I'm going to debunk this idea of, well, Americans aren't going to do these jobs.
00:53:46.000There are jobs that Americans won't do.
00:53:50.000We need immigrants because they will fill gaps in the labor market, gaps in the labor force.
00:54:03.000When a study actually goes to show that many of the jobs that we stereotype immigrants to go into are actually more dominated by Americans than not.
00:54:12.000Do you know that 73% of all janitors are native-born?
00:54:16.00065% of all construction workers are native-born.
00:54:20.00066% of all grounds and maintenance workers are native-born.
00:54:24.00064% of all butchers and meat processors are native-born.
00:54:28.000And I'm reading here, I believe, from the Center for Immigration Studies, I think.
00:54:33.000Taxi drivers and chauffeurs, 54% native-born.
00:54:39.000What the real discussion is, is not what Americans are willing or unwilling to do.
00:54:44.000The question is, are they willing to do it at that wage?
00:54:49.000Are they willing to do that job to be able to support a middle-class lifestyle?
00:54:57.000There are 65 occupations in the United States in which 25% or more of the workers are immigrants, both legal and illegal.
00:55:06.000I don't consider illegals to be immigrants.
00:55:09.000In these high immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives, accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.
00:55:21.000If you are over the age of 40, your high school experience was completely and totally different than mine, and especially to what high schoolers are doing right now.
00:55:34.000If you talk to a group of people between the ages of 45 to 60 and you ask them, how many of you had a high school job?
00:55:49.000Now, what H.W. Bush did in the early 90s, Soviet Union falls.
00:55:55.000So you see, H.W. Bush believed that the two biggest problems that America needed to solve is that we were not currently in enough wars and we did not have enough foreigners.
00:56:07.000H.W. Bush was very worried about that.
00:56:45.000H.W. Bush, and we'll get the exact number.
00:56:47.000I think at its height in the early 90s, we were bringing in 1.2 million people legally into America per year, not including illegal crossing into America.
00:57:00.000And so as a consequence of that, I was born in 93.
00:57:04.00012 years later in 2005, we kept up those policies, 2005, 2007.
00:57:13.000My local community, the Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Schomburg area, they didn't need high school workers.
00:57:24.000The local movie theater, the local manufacturing plant, they were able to get by without having 14, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds come chip in over the summer.
00:57:35.000Now, there's a positive to part of that, and I'm willing to admit it.
00:57:43.000I was able to do other recreational activities other than working with my hands and working at a movie theater, working at a restaurant, whatever it might be, low-wage work, but introductory work that would build character.
00:57:58.000I could tell you this, though, that the vast majority of people in my high school would have benefited from the experience of a high school job rather than a recreational summer.
00:58:09.000What I did with my time in high school was a much different allocation of time than most.
00:58:16.000I didn't sit around and play video games or endlessly ride my bike chasing after whatever, where most people in my high school did that.
00:58:26.000And the people that did end up getting high school jobs, because they were a few, they were the ones that really needed the money.
00:58:34.000You see, parents used to have their kids work high school jobs, not because the family necessarily needed the money, but because they knew it was good for them and the community needed the labor.
00:58:45.000So we have these unbelievably generous and relaxed immigration policies for 15, 20 years.
00:58:54.000And we basically created a system where high schoolers did not need to enter the labor force.
00:59:01.000So, some high schoolers, like myself and some of the people that work with us at Turning Point USA, that idle time ended up being a phenomenal blessing for us.
00:59:11.000I'm not saying that high school work would have been awful, but I don't think I would have been able to do football, basketball, marching band, three different instruments, Eagle Scout, and then in my spare time, eventually start the beginning stages of Turning Point USA.
00:59:26.000Not even close if I had to also do a high school job.
00:59:30.000So, for people like me, it allowed me some extra time to get into what I really enjoyed and I had a skill towards.
00:59:39.000The vast majority of students I grew up in would be better today if they would have been a lifeguard working at a movie theater or a waitress or cleaning dishes instead of playing video games when they were 16 years old.
00:59:56.000So, this idea that Americans won't do the work is not true.
01:00:04.000Over the last year, President Trump signed an immigration moratorium into our country, and I'm glad he did.
01:00:12.000Because of this, South Dakota was facing a labor shortage.
01:00:18.000Now, one of the best governors in the country, if not the best governor, Christy Noam, who's tied, I think, with Ron DeSantis, they're terrific.
01:00:26.000She realized that she was not going to have seasonal work visas.
01:00:31.000She realized she was not going to have this influx of cheap labor coming into South Dakota to help in the work for the summer, which is not as much work, but the fall is a lot of work.
01:00:46.000If you do not have the hands to help you in South Dakota in the fall, you could lose your whole savings.
01:00:53.000The food supply line could fall apart.
01:00:56.000But according to Governor Christy Noam, who we sat with on an interview, I believe it was July 2nd, where she said on the podcast that every single job was filled by older South Dakotans and younger South Dakotans.
01:01:11.00016, 17, and 18-year-olds were forced to put the video games on hold, and they went into the fields and went to work.
01:01:21.000And by accident, what was proven is that the labor is there.
01:01:30.000Just all of a sudden, there was a demand, not the type of demand that you would know or think of traditionally in economics, but there was pressure to put young American students to work.
01:01:45.000And so, this lie that exists that there are jobs Americans won't do, Americans won't do, is only true if you say that Americans don't want to do the job with no increase in wage ever while also affording themselves to have a permanent middle-class lifestyle.
01:02:03.000And so, we have seen the consequence of this, what happens.
01:02:06.000And these two issues are the two issues that Donald Trump hit perfectly.
01:02:10.000And I wrote about this in the MAGA doctrine, and they are directly tied together.
01:02:17.000And the two issues that Republicans were told to never mention, keep it as is, everything is wonderful, sit down and shut up and enjoy your endless piles of plastic from Wuhan.
01:02:32.000And don't say anything when your cousins are overdosing on meth.
01:02:36.000And the two issues were immigration and trade.
01:02:39.000Those are the two issues that we as conservatives were never allowed to talk about.
01:02:45.000Funded by think tanks, pundits, prognosticators, there was zero intellectual flexibility for us to ever talk about those issues.
01:02:54.000There is no place for robust debate and dialogue.
01:03:01.000The conservative movement was intolerant towards discussion prior to Trump when it came to immigration and trade.
01:03:08.000You were mocked, called a Luddite, a draconian, a protectionist, a Herbert Hooverite.
01:03:16.000It was pathological in nature, quite honestly, because it was funded by corporations that were benefiting through big immigration and big internationalist trade.
01:03:27.000And Donald Trump comes on the stage and unapologetically offers a factual, evidence-based, and experience-based critique against this system.
01:03:38.000And quite honestly, he liberated my conversation and people for us to finally realize that the system of international and endless trade and open borders and millions of people coming into the country, it might have some positives, such as we have a bunch of plastic that we're never going to use and we don't appreciate, so we have to go buy self-storage units to just be able to get rid of the amounts of clothes that we don't wear and things we don't actually revere.
01:04:05.000I guess that's a positive, but the cost might actually have been greater than the positive.
01:04:10.000And the cost was the complete and total destruction of the middle part of our country, Southeast Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, the entire Appalachia region.
01:04:22.000And my friend JD Vance wrote about this extensively in the book Hillbilly Elegy.
01:04:28.000And so now we have the question in our current political system: are we going to now go back to embracing the dogmatic corporate belief that open borders and free trade is always correct?
01:04:48.000A story that I want to focus on is one of the worst governors in America.
01:04:55.000So we got our list of bad governors, J.B. Pritzker, Andrew Cuomo, and of course, Gavin Newsom.
01:05:49.000Resolved to make brighter days ahead and not to let the pain of last year deter us from the hopefulness of tomorrow.
01:05:57.000I'm not exactly sure what he thought he would accomplish by rubbing it in the face that Dodger Stadium is completely empty and open.
01:06:04.000But nevertheless, Gavin Newsom gave those remarks there.
01:06:07.000Gavin Newsom in Cut 35 says that he is focusing on staying determined and that the partisan power grabs are trying to destruct from their recovery.
01:06:23.000And I just want you to know, we're not going to change course just because of a few naysayers and doomstayers.
01:06:29.000So to the California critics out there who are promoting partisan political power grabs with outdated prejudices and rejecting everything that makes California truly great, we say this.
01:06:42.000We will not be distracted from getting shots in arms and our economy booming again.
01:06:47.000This is a fight for California's future.
01:07:01.000Now, whether or not he wins or loses the recall is a different thing.
01:07:04.000I'm saying he's going to have to participate in a recall.
01:07:08.000And over 2 million people currently have signed the recall petition.
01:07:14.000As we accurately predicted here on the Charlie Kirk show, the Gavin Newsom team is going to spend millions of dollars on a certain and specific activity.
01:07:29.000You see, the Newsom team is worried that people who aren't who they say they are have been filling in signatures to recall Gavin Newsom.
01:07:40.000You see, Gavin Newsom is very worried about signature fraud.
01:07:47.000Gavin Newsom and the California Democrats of Kamala Harris previously and Nancy Pelosi and Eric Fang Swawell are very focused on voter and signature integrity.
01:08:05.000And the irony of all this is now that we have forced the recall, which is a great lesson for all of you out there.
01:08:11.000And I want to give a thanks and a congratulations and an applause and a reinforcement and an encouragement to the California Republicans out there.
01:08:22.000We do a lot of things in California, and my relationship with the California Franchise Tax Board proves that.
01:08:28.000But I have so much respect for the patriots in California, the pastors in California, Rob McCoy, Jack Hibbs, James Cadiz, Juergen, Greg Denham, and I will be in San Marcos, California this weekend at Rise Church.
