00:02:08.000Go down to Aurora, Colorado, right down the street here.
00:02:10.000Entire apartment complexes are now being run by Venezuelan gangs.
00:02:13.000Not to mention every day an American citizen is being killed.
00:02:16.000From Lakin Riley to Rachel Morin to 11 year olds that are being killed in DUI accidents.
00:02:22.000We have a belief that our founding fathers had, which is if your government does not fulfill its obligation to its own people first, its government is not legitimate.
00:02:29.000And that's what's happening right now.
00:02:31.000Our government is now providing taxpayer funded cell phones.
00:02:35.000Hotel rooms, benefits, airplane rides, cash for foreigners, but not for Americans.
00:02:41.000If you guys, as an American citizen, want a free cell phone, they'll laugh at you.
00:02:44.000As a foreigner from Venezuela, you get one on the southern border.
00:02:47.000You get a flight to any city that you want.
00:02:48.000You get a luxury hotel in New York City.
00:02:53.000That is elevating somebody from a distant land over our own people.
00:02:57.000When our own kids can't afford homes, when our own people are seeing an increase in crime, homelessness, and we have over 50,000 homeless vets in this country, it's a breakdown of the social contract.
00:03:06.000Wait, so the government should support veterans, support citizens more?
00:03:45.000If your own perspective was correct, would you feel comfortable going in an Uber right now to Aurora, Colorado and going to those three apartment complexes?
00:03:54.000I mean, according to the Aurora police, I probably would.
00:03:56.000They say the apartment complexes are not overrun.
00:04:00.000You should get in the car and go talk to anybody here and go knock on the door and they'll extort you for cash because we're a country that is open for looting right now.
00:04:12.000For the entire world, over 118 countries have entered the southern border.
00:04:17.000That we know of, at least 99 people on the terrorist watch list have come across the southern border.
00:04:22.000We're talking about people from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, from Iran, people from Pakistan that are coming here and mean harm to the interior of the United States.
00:04:31.000Not to mention, we're breaking down what it means to be a citizen.
00:04:34.000A citizen should be put first above anybody else.
00:04:37.000If a government does not do that, then a government is not fulfilling its basic obligation.
00:04:41.000And the number one obligation is to make sure that its people can have.
00:04:46.000A pathway to a better life and a good life.
00:04:48.000Not a variety of free stuff, but not have to compete with somebody from Brazil for a home.
00:05:24.000Number two, it is not the role of the American government to solve the problems of Panama, El Salvador, and Honduras when our own citizens are suffering and are crying out for help.
00:05:33.000So, why has the billions of dollars spent on Central American aid over the last four years been effective at slowing the rates of sex trafficking in Central America?
00:05:46.000What you're talking about is bribing these governments where they then go give it to cartel leaders and say, hey, this month send 20,000 people instead of 40,000.
00:05:53.000That's not what that money is going towards.
00:05:55.000Going towards NGOs and bottom up stabilization.
00:05:57.000You think NGOs spend the money correctly?
00:07:24.000They're hiring coders after a 60 day coding class.
00:07:27.000To answer your question, A country that ceases to secure its own sovereignty and does not think I care more about my own people than the foreigners ceases to be a country.
00:07:39.000You're a colony and you're something else.
00:07:41.000And we are seeing our generosity be taken advantage of.
00:07:44.000I am all for American charities going down to Panama and helping out.
00:08:08.000They don't have to come to the U.S., and then we have a better U.S. Same amount of spending.
00:08:11.000No, no, it's, first of all, to solve the problems of the third world would cost trillions of dollars, and that would all be laundered and not even work.
00:08:19.000And again, it's not the position of the American government to go throw money around in the Southern Triangle.
00:09:09.000We can't walk our own greatest cities at night, and we want to bring in more people from the third world?
00:09:14.000In the case of immigration, if you hard restrict it and make it harder to get in, the only people who are going to make the attempts to get in, or generally going to make the attempts to get in, are more likely to commit crimes.
00:09:44.000Sure, but I don't think that has to do with the process of getting into the country.
00:09:49.000Well, it has to do with the process of getting in the country because if it's extremely difficult to get in through legally, people are going to resort to coming through illegally.
00:10:15.000So you want to restrict the labor pool so that you guys get the jobs first, not some competitor from Korea or Japan that comes in and steals your tech job?
00:10:23.000Shouldn't we invest in American workers first before foreigners?
00:10:27.000Why do you think wages are not keeping up with inflation?
00:10:30.000Because we're bringing in millions of people into this country every single year that you guys have to compete against, and they don't have student loan debt.
00:10:37.000So they're able to undercut wages every single year.
00:10:39.000If we're bringing in so many people, I don't think we would have as low unemployment as we would right now, would we?
00:11:06.000But how many of those people do you think that are coming in or would come in if we made it faster and more easy are going to be taking these high specialized tech jobs?
00:11:55.000I see major companies are owning different things like cereal brands.
00:11:58.000There's like two companies that own all cereal brands.
00:12:00.000And when they can increase the prices continually and say, hey, look, guys, it's inflation, when they're making record profits that they've never made.
00:12:08.000Yeah, if that's the case, then why are small businesses raising their prices?
00:12:11.000Small businesses are raising their prices because the products that they're getting in from these major two, three companies are.
00:12:18.000Inflation works by having more money in the system, and generally, because of that, your dollar is worth less, and then your wages don't really increase.
00:12:29.000And because your wages don't increase, everything's costing more to you.
00:12:31.000So, true or false, we have injected around $10 trillion of new money in the last three years.
00:12:36.000Okay, so yeah, that is the number one reason why we're seeing prices increase.
00:12:40.000But I think it's slowed, the inflation itself.
00:12:42.000Has slowed down a lot and the prices themselves.
00:12:45.000It depends on what good or service you're talking about.
00:12:47.000And I think the reason it's what good or service is because the goods or services that are in control of borderline monopolies are able to raise their prices more and more.
00:12:56.000That's why when you go to the grocery store, the big issue is a bunch of things are going up that are controlled by major companies that are supplying all these grocery stores, right?
00:13:04.000Yeah, but a lot of them have competitors.
00:13:06.000And so, I mean, I can list five or six examples where there's robust competition and prices are still going up.
00:13:11.000But we have too many dollars chasing too many, too few goods and services.
00:13:17.000Our worker base isn't really churning as it should because we have such low unemployment, which is why I'm saying immigration should be easier to come in.
00:13:23.000Because when your workers aren't moving through positions and stuff, wages aren't going to increase that often because you're more likely to get a wage increase by switching to another job that pays you more.
00:13:33.000Yeah, so wouldn't it make, if you want to get wages up, shouldn't you want to?
00:13:37.000Restrict the amount of workers in the workforce?
00:13:41.000So, if you have 200 people you could hire to fix a window or 30 people to hire to fix a window, which pool is going to have the higher average wage?
00:14:08.000Yeah, but you don't have me convinced on the immigration issue, though.
00:14:11.000Because if you restrict immigration across the board, then you have a prioritization and a lesser pool of competition for foreign born American labor.
00:14:21.000Sure, but I think, am I wrong in saying your issue is that you have issues with specialized labor coming in and taking the positions of higher paying, more specialized?
00:14:31.000Yeah, I mean, to be fair, it's specialized muscular class labor, which is conflated.
00:14:37.000So there's advanced manufacturing too, which does not require a college degree.
00:14:41.000But can take six to nine months of apprenticeship.
00:14:44.000Or, for example, being an auto mechanic.
00:14:46.000That's not exactly being a coder, but that's tough work, right?
00:14:52.000I just don't think that that's the majority of labor that is going to come in if we allow more people through.
00:14:57.000And it's not like a blanket, oh, we're letting everybody through.
00:15:00.000But right now I see my biggest issue with the right is that, like, why are we restricting more immigration other than, like, illegal immigration?
00:15:07.000But why are we not proposing ways to loosen immigration to fix the jobs that aren't like that?
00:15:13.000Like most jobs aren't generally in those classes.
00:15:16.000You're coming after this in good faith.
00:15:17.000My response would be we need a national training program to get Americans properly trained before we try to import foreign labor to fill those positions.
00:15:26.000And that goes back to my college is a scam type postulization.
00:15:30.000So we have oversupplied the credentialing, which is for your college degree, and we've undersupplied the six to nine month specialization vector.
00:15:39.000And because that, we have massive job openings.
00:15:51.000In every waking moment, every spare moment that he could, he had a book open, he had a podcast open, he had a Hillsdale online course open.
00:16:01.000He was always diving into new ideas, absorbing information, studying up, and sharpening his skills.
00:16:06.000That's why I love Dr. Arne at Hillsdale College.
00:16:09.000They shared a deep understanding that learning is the key to shaping your character, creating courage, and changing lives.
00:16:17.000Charlie never stopped learning, and neither should you.
00:16:20.000Through Hillsdale's online courses, he spent time studying the classics, the American founding, and the enduring truths of the Bible.
00:16:29.000With Hillsdale's free online courses, you can follow in his footsteps, learning from real professors and challenging yourself with rigorous coursework that's free and accessible to anybody who's willing to learn.
00:16:41.000A great place to start is their brand new course on logic and rhetoric.
00:16:44.000Learn from Hillsdale professors how to speak masterfully, make a powerful point, and see how clear thinking leads to better decision making and more effective speech.
00:16:59.000This is a real good one, by the way Logic and Rhetoric.
00:17:01.000Pick up the mic, carry it forward, learn like Charlie.

00:17:11.000So, I just had a question because you talk a lot about protecting and securing our southern borders.
00:17:16.000But as the granddaughter of immigrants, I think that we get into a lot of complicated disputes with the idea that immigrants are criminals, are drug dealers, and things like that.
00:17:28.000So, I just want to hear what your opinion is on those expectations or those stereotypes that are put on Hispanic communities, Latino communities, and how they change the way people perceive immigration.
00:19:03.000And so it is an insult to other immigrants from Vietnam and Laos and Pakistan that have to wait decades in line to morally equivalent people that come in and just break in.
00:19:18.000Like half of the world's countries are unstable.
00:19:19.000So we just have to be very clear with this is that if you come into the country uninvited, you have committed a crime and you are a criminal.
00:19:27.000And we could decide that we're not going to enforce our laws, or we can say that when you are a criminal, you should then be punished for that crime, aka sent back to your country of origin, because you were not invited.
00:19:38.000And it is an insult, again, to the Poles and to the Czechoslovakians and from the Senegalese and people all across the world that don't have the proximity or the luxury just to waltz into America.
00:19:48.000You call it a luxury to leave a country that has political tyranny and come into a country with opportunity?
00:19:54.000Yes, to live in Mexico, to be able to go 100 miles north and break into America.
00:19:59.000Do you know how many people in Pakistan would kill to be on that border?
00:21:23.000Yeah, we're obligated because we're citizens.
00:21:26.000To have the rights that we have, but that doesn't mean we can't open up our borders and have the process to do so.
00:21:30.000You, being a younger American and everyone in the audience, is the first generation in American history to have it be worse off than your parents.
00:21:38.000So the social, and you agree with that, social contract, poor, more expensive.
00:21:42.000So wouldn't it be rational for the American government to say we're going to prioritize younger generation Americans that are American passport holders and citizens before those in another nation?
00:21:53.000I don't think, I don't want to say anything that offends people.
00:23:15.000But this is the red herring Americans are invited guests, foreigners are people that broke into the country that shouldn't be here, and none of those crimes should be happening at all.
00:23:26.000One of them is a crime of choice, the other is just a crime because that's part of what happens when you have a society.
00:23:31.000So, when you have Americans that are murdered by illegals, that is because we have decided and chosen we're okay with them being here, and if they kill our people, no big deal.
00:23:43.000I know we're not going to agree on this.
00:23:44.000That's why I came up here and got this place.
00:23:46.000Are you okay with deporting every illegal person that's here?
00:24:47.000The punishment for the crime of breaking into a nation should be what it is in Switzerland and Israel and Hungary.
00:24:54.000Every person who breaks into a nation uninvited goes back to their country of origin, period.
00:24:59.000So, why is there an emphasis on the southern border?
00:25:02.000Because most people come illegally through the southern border?
00:25:05.000The point I'm trying to make is that we categorize all illegal immigrants under the same thing sex traffickers, drug dealers.
00:25:13.000By you saying all illegal immigrants have to be deported, you're implying that all of them are doing these terrible things, and not a small percentage of them.
00:25:21.000If you come into a Country uninvited, definitionally, you are a criminal.
