00:00:14.000And then also one of my favorite senators, he is fighting very, very hard and he's doing a great job from the great state of Alabama, Senator Tubberville.
00:00:22.000And please consider becoming a member of the Charlie Kirk team.

00:02:13.000But what's interesting about this resignation is that New York Times is saying softly, but they're still saying it throughout this piece that this fight against DEI is actually a racist endeavor.
00:02:26.000They believe, as Claudine has mentioned, as well as Al Sharpton and other proposed racial rights advocates, they've claimed that any opposition from Bill Ackman or Elon Musk or myself or you, Charlie, is inherently rooted in racism when the opposite is true.
00:02:43.000I actually believe that DEI is a racist ideology.
00:02:46.000And in this piece, Bill Ackman breaks that down.
00:02:48.000He says that DEI at its core is actually a racist and divisive ideology that prioritizes some skin colors above other skin colors.
00:02:56.000And it just so happens that white people over the past two decades have been at the losing end of this DEI fight.
00:03:02.000So Bill Ackman is not asking that white people would have a leg up in employment decisions.
00:03:10.000But Charlie, you'll notice as you read this New York Times piece that came on the heels of an Axios piece, which I can discuss in a second, but this New York Times piece spoke in favor heavily of terms like equity, which is the true nemesis of actual equality.
00:03:25.000We want to get back in our economy to a place.
00:03:28.000And this is what Bill Ackman and Elon and myself and you are all saying.
00:03:31.000We want to get back to our place in our economy where excellence and meritocracy are the reasons for employment decisions.
00:03:37.000Claudine Gay did not deserve to be the president of Harvard.
00:03:40.000She had zero credentials that would have accounted for her position from a meritocracy perspective.
00:03:46.000And not only that, plagiarism at this institution, defended by entities like the AP or CNN, should absolutely disqualify you from higher academia in general, let alone the president of one of the most prestigious, quote unquote, entities in the country.
00:04:02.000So this whole battle is not about one side is fighting for equity and the rights of those that are most marginalized, and the other side is fighting for white people.
00:04:20.000Again, everyone should check out publicsquare.com, download the app, do some shopping.
00:04:24.000I want to emphasize this Bloomberg story.
00:04:26.000It didn't get the coverage that it deserved.
00:04:28.000And by the way, it was written by Bloomberg as a celebratory story.
00:04:32.000They wrote it and they said, oh, my goodness, this is so amazing.
00:04:35.000And by the way, this goes to show that you'll never get to a level of pandering that they are sufficient with because the number is so unbelievable.
00:04:43.000It says that in 2021, that specific year, that 96% or maybe 94%, whatever, 94, 96% of all new hires out of 300,000 jobs in the S ⁇ P 100 went to non-whites.
00:04:58.000Now, they were like, this is so great.
00:05:07.000You're trying to tell me that 6% of all new jobs went to white people?
00:05:12.000That is active stereotyping and discrimination, Michael Seifert.
00:05:17.000Well, Charlie, I'm glad you brought that up.
00:05:19.000There was a new development in that story this morning as well.
00:05:21.000Zero Hedge on X broke that after looking at the recent jobs numbers, it was discovered that there have been no new jobs, no new job growth for native born Americans over the last five years.
00:05:36.000Since 2018, the scale has stayed flat for new jobs for non-immigrants.
00:05:42.000But new job growth for illegal immigrants and migrants coming across the southern border, people that are breaking the law to enter our company has skyrocketed.
00:05:51.000So what we're finding is that not only are companies actively discriminating against white people, they're actively discriminating against Americans favoring foreign labor.
00:06:00.000So if you pair that sort of reality with the rhetoric out of people like Joe Biden or even Nikki Haley on the Republican side, who celebrates open borders and says we need to be compassionate toward these people coming over looking for a better life for their families, I'm sorry,
00:06:14.000but Somalian middle-aged men coming through the southern border illegally, jumping the line of people that are waiting to do it the right way and then taking jobs while native born Americans have been completely flatlined in their ability to achieve job growth is the very opposite of what any healthy, functioning, equality-focused country would ever pursue.
00:06:43.000There's this narrative that we need to bring in foreigners.
00:06:45.000We have to bring in foreigners for all of our tech jobs, all of our tech jobs.
00:06:48.000And yet Americans who study in these fields now have to compete and wages go down against this kind of form of indentured servitude that exists with a lot of these tech companies.
00:06:58.000At Public Square, you guys are America first through and through, publicsquare.com.
00:07:03.000And what is it going to take to get our companies to prioritize American labor over foreign profits?
00:07:10.000Well, first off, they have to see that the profit centers are shifting.
00:07:14.000That's why a company like ours exists.
00:07:16.000We have to shift the profit structures toward the businesses that are American owned and operated.
00:07:21.000They're not owned by foreign conglomerates.
00:07:24.000And secondly, we have to rid ourselves of the institutions that were supposed to be supporting American small businesses decades ago, but have since long left that original mandate.
00:07:34.000A good example is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
00:07:36.000The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has advocated for open borders policies that harm the very small businesses that are supposed to be employing American workers.
00:07:45.000So it continues and promulgates this vicious cycle where business communities in the United States today are incentivized to foreign work and foreign labor coming in our shores.
00:07:56.000And it absolutely prices native-born Americans out of the market.
00:08:01.000The only way that shifts, we have to see our profit centers maximize toward American-owned entrepreneurship.
00:08:07.000Businesses like Public Square, businesses like Rumble businesses that are offering alternatives to sort of the mainstream institutional America are absolutely imperative.
00:08:16.000We have to support as well the supply chain enterprises that are based here.
00:08:21.000They have to be given access to a great network of small businesses because we have to help people understand not only is it the right thing to do to support American labor, it is also, in the long term, the profitable thing to do.
00:08:34.000We have to see an American Renaissance era created where the incentive structures are actually reversed back to the way that it was in the 50s and the 60s, coming out of World War II, where American labor was actually prospering before we saw our country sold out to globalists for cheap labor.
00:08:50.000The chairman of FedEx, for example, who built FedEx as the founder, has celebrated Chinese labor for far too long.
00:08:57.000We need that generation to no longer be in power and have a new generation of populists that arise that say, guys, we cannot sell out Main Street at the expense of simply a cheaper bottom line.
00:09:10.000The only way that happens, though, Charlie, is if consumers, at the end of the day, because the consumer drives the change more than anybody else, the consumer has to put their money in different places.
00:09:19.000We have to make our message loud and clear.
00:09:21.000We are shifting our dollars to companies that will actually support our communities.
00:09:25.000That's the only way we win in the long run.
00:09:50.000These are over 75,000 vendors, by the way, Charlie.
00:09:52.000They're doing their best to try to source as many of their products from our shores as they possibly can.
00:09:58.000They're on a journey to doing that, and they deserve our support.
00:10:00.000Not only that, these 75,000-plus vendors at publicsquare.com have all agreed with our core values.
00:10:05.000They've been vetted in alignment with those values.
00:10:08.000And the majority of them will actually give discounts to you when you go and shop there at publicsquare.com.
00:10:13.000We have amazing brands that are third parties.
00:10:16.000We also own some of our own brands that are on that platform as well, like Everylife, the only pro-life baby brand in the United States today.
00:10:24.000We only launched nationwide about 18 months ago, and we have a bright future ahead of us, but it is going to take the help of millions of consumers that are voting with their wallets day in and day out.
00:10:32.000If that happens, we're going to see a parallel economy created.
00:10:37.000Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?
00:10:49.000It started with a Zoom call with Dr. Ashley Lucas, and we had an amazing call, and I asked her all the tough questions.
00:10:55.000She has a PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.
00:10:58.000Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.
00:11:02.000And secondly, the PhD program starts with nutrition, but it's so much more.
00:11:06.000They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gained this weight in the first place.
00:12:56.000I lost 30 pounds and it has benefited my life.
00:12:59.000In fact, this last year, the numbers are just amazing.
00:13:01.000If you look at what we've been able to do, largely because I lost weight, 295 days of radio, 1,200 plus hours of radio, 550 plus speeches and interviews, 230 days on the road, and well over 400 people on staff at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:13:16.000And I wouldn't have been able to do it if I did not have the energy, the spirit, the mental clarity that I got from my PhD weight loss.
00:13:22.000So check it out right now, myphdweightloss.com.
00:13:27.000Well, turn your wants into musts and go to myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com.
00:13:36.000I want to play this piece of tape here of Vivek Ramaswamy, someone we both know, Michael, and he's pushing back against all this narrative.
00:14:06.000And the reality is, I condemn vicious racial discrimination in this country.
00:14:10.000But the kind of vicious and systematic racial discrimination we see today is discrimination on the basis of race in a very different direction.
00:14:17.000So Michael, what he did there is push back against this almost mandatory kneeling that you see in corporate America.
00:14:24.000Talk about what you're trying to do at Public Square and how it's difficult to reject the tempting ESG country club.
00:14:32.000Well, I will tell you, Charlie, that I really admire Vivek because he actually has been at this for a while.
00:14:37.000He wrote the book, Woke Inc., as a very prophetic warning of what would happen if the economy would embrace this sort of woke, DEI, ESG-driven cesspool that's far more focused on pandering to, quote, marginalized communities rather than just providing value to your shareholders and your customers.
00:14:55.000And anytime you're trying to push back against a real cultural behemoth, it takes a lot of perseverance and you have a lot of arrows flying your way.
00:15:01.000We've certainly experienced them at public square.
00:15:03.000I know you've experienced it at turning point.
00:15:05.000But I will tell you that no great movement was ever born rid of adversity.
00:15:11.000In fact, most great movements were birthed in a direct rebuke of whatever was culturally popular at the time.
00:15:17.000And so while we certainly face a massive amount of challenges as a company that's trying to go against the status quo, I'm confident of two things.
00:15:26.000Number one, I'm confident that history will look fondly upon our efforts.
00:15:29.000And number two, I'm confident that we are actually representing what the actual American people want.
00:15:35.000People do not want to be lectured about race and gender when they're simply trying to shop.
00:15:39.000They do not want to be hired based upon their race.
00:15:42.000They do not want to be discriminated against based upon their race.
00:15:53.000If you are a black person in this country today that is hired based upon the fulfilling of a DEI quota, you will live the rest of your life in that career, never certain whether or not you were hired because of your skill set, your resume, your excellence at your craft, or whether it was just because you needed to fill a racial quota.
00:16:12.000And it just so happened that an immutable characteristic that you had no control over was actually responsible for your hiring.
00:16:18.000So you have that realization that you have to live with.
00:16:21.000Or we could have a society where you were hired with the blessed assurance that it was purely because of the excellence of your skill set.
00:16:29.000You were purely hired because you were good at your job.
00:16:31.000You were purely hired because you have the track record of expertise to showcase that you would be a value add to this organization.
00:16:37.000There's only one side of the argument that's trying to fight for that sort of reality in corporate America.
00:16:43.000And it is the side of you and me and people like Vivek.
00:16:46.000And so I love for him to be the tip of the spear out there shouting this message.
00:16:50.000It's certainly one that we are trying to pair it at Public Square.
00:17:08.000Charlie Kirk's Turning PointUSA, TPUSA.com, a far-right youth group backed by Trump, working to indoctrinate students into the MAGA extremism, just announced its commitment to spend $108 million on targeting high school and college kids in swing states for Trump.
00:17:23.000Well, first of all, that's Turning Point Action, but this comes as 12th grade boys, many of whom are first-time voters in 2024, are now more conservative than at any point in the last 50 years.
00:17:34.000At Dream for America, our mission of fighting back against far-right TPUSA is starting off 2024 with a formidable strength and remarkable momentum, which just began as idea has quickly grown into a national network, building robust and grassroots fundraising army to take on the TPUSA machine.
00:17:50.000These guys exist just obsessing about us.
00:17:52.000That's how you know you're doing something.
00:17:55.000We're surging faster than ever to make sure students across the country are offered a choice between democracy or fascism.
00:18:01.000Together, let's head into the new year to correct the record, engage young voters, and mobilize a new generation of democracy defenders to re-elect Joe Biden and solidify our generation's place in history.
00:18:10.000TPUSA relies on Trump and their billionaire friends, but we rely on you.

00:20:29.000So, Coach, I want to ask you about the border.
00:20:33.000I have some pieces of tape I want to play here, including getting your reaction to Mayorkas.
00:20:37.000But of all the topics that we cover on this program, the one that makes me the most angry and honestly the most demoralized is the invasion happening on our southern border.
00:20:46.000The Senate is coming back into session.
00:20:47.000I'm worried that they're going to quote unquote strike some deal.
00:20:50.000That is not exactly a deal where it's actually just going to make the invasion happen seamlessly, effectively.
00:20:57.000Your reaction to the daily invasion of America happening on our southern border?
00:21:02.000Well, it took three years, Charlie, to get the Democrats and Joe Biden to come to the table, and they had to because they want to hold the American taxpayer hostage for $100 billion more dollars to send overseas.
00:21:13.000And that's the only reason that they're negotiating.
00:21:16.000Now, James Lankford, senator from Oklahoma, has done a great job.
00:21:19.000But the problem is, you know, there's laws right now that we have that would fix this.
00:22:19.000Would it be surprising you to hear the CBP sources say that currently they are releasing more than 70% of the migrants crossing every day and sometimes more than that number, higher than 70%?
00:23:21.000If you remember back 10, 12 years ago, Europe was being overrun by refugees, and Obama basically said, hey, if you don't let them in, we're going to cut your money off.
00:23:32.000And so they've ruined Europe, basically have lost control.
00:23:35.000Well, they're doing the same thing here now.
00:23:37.000And they know that we cannot handle this many people.
00:23:41.000They know that it's going to be a detriment to the taxpayers of this country.
00:23:45.000You know, we're spending money that we don't have to take care of these people.
00:24:09.000Do you think it's actually going to secure and seal our southern border?
00:24:13.000Is it just going to be for paperwork processing?
00:24:15.000What is the kind of Senate hallway chatter indicating?
00:24:19.000Well, you know, first of all, you've got a group of us that say, listen, the only way that we're going to agree to anything is they limit the number of people that come across the border.
00:24:30.000And it's going to have to be a very, very low number, probably about 10% of what they're letting across right now.
00:24:36.000Other than that, they're going to break the law, Charlie.
00:24:39.000They're not going to do anything that they will agree to as long as they get that $100 billion in their pocket where they can give it away over in Ukraine or wherever.
00:24:48.000And then at the end of the day, you know, not be accountable for it.
00:25:27.000He says, I don't care how many people that we put in and on the border of Central America, it's not going to work for this last year because they know that Joe Biden probably is not going to run or win.
00:25:40.000And so they're all going to come this year, and we probably will see three, four, maybe five million people come across the border before the end of this term of this administration.
00:25:51.000That makes you sick at your stomach, but we're going to have to put up with it.
00:26:30.000Is it Mike Lee has said that he will not vote to fund the government while the border is open?
00:26:36.000Is that something your conference is entertaining?
00:26:38.000Well, there's several of us that are on that page.
00:26:42.000We've got two things over the Democrats right now.
00:26:44.000They want $100 billion more dollars to waste and to spend over in Europe on Ukraine.
00:26:52.000And then, of course, they're going to want to fund the government with this excess expense of a lot of things that we need to start cutting back.
00:26:59.000I don't know whether you saw it, Charlie, but a few weeks ago, we hit 23 million of federal employees that work for the government.
00:27:07.00023 million, a record number, and they continue to grow every day.
00:27:12.000So we've got to find a way to cut back.
00:27:13.000The American taxpayer can't afford this.
00:27:16.000We spent from September the 18th, December the 28th, a trillion dollars more than what we should have spent.
00:27:23.000We're not doing that now in a year or a year and a half.
00:27:26.000We're doing it in just a month's time, and we're looking at $40 trillion in debt in a short period of time.
00:27:31.000And the national debt and the deficit are some of the biggest issues.
00:27:35.000And I'll be honest, I haven't seen an appetite from most Republicans to really make the spending cuts that are necessary.
00:27:42.000I mean, we have huge amounts of waste and fraud and abuse all across the board.
00:27:48.000And so, Senator, we're now going to enter this season, and I sure hope this is not the case.
00:27:54.000where it feels as if people are just going to say it's an election year and we're not going to buckle down and we're not going to do what's necessary.
00:28:01.000You have a new bill out I want to make sure we highlight where you introduced the No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act.
00:28:08.000Yeah, I'm on the Veterans Committee and there's nobody more important than our veterans that we need to take care of them and they're short-ended when it comes to the VA.
00:28:27.000So what we did is we started these satellite hospitals and clinics all over rural areas where an 80-year-old veteran doesn't have to drive two hours to go to a VA.
00:28:39.000And so we started all these, we call them community care.
00:28:41.000Well, now Joe Biden has opened up all those community care centers to illegal immigrants.
00:28:47.000We have to pay 100% for their health care.
00:29:08.000And, you know, this administration does not care about anything other than maintaining control and getting people in there where they'll vote for them because they allowed them to come across the border illegally.
00:29:19.000So, Senator, in closing here, big year.
00:29:23.000There's a lot of different elections that are popping up.
00:29:26.000Any races that have really caught your attention?
00:29:28.000Obviously, the presidential race is the big one, but Senate races that you're going to be spending time raising capital for?
00:29:35.000What are the ones that you think the base really needs to be aware of?
00:29:38.000Yeah, Pennsylvania is going to be huge.
00:29:40.000Of course, Montana is going to be very, very important.
00:29:45.000Arizona is going to be very, very important.
00:29:48.000There's not any of them that's not important, but there's some that we've really got to focus on.
00:30:27.000And again, the thing that I've noticed, if you don't have the White House, I don't care if you've got the House or the Senate.
00:30:32.000We have given so much power to the President of the United States with these executive orders.
00:30:37.000It's just embarrassing to see what they do.
00:30:40.000This men playing in women's sports is all in executive order.
00:30:44.000Trends genders in the military is an executive order.
00:30:48.000It makes no sense for this to be happening, but that's the direction that this group wants to go, and we've got to get them out of all out of it.
00:30:56.000Coach, thank you so much for your time.
00:30:58.000I would say, sorry about the Roseville result, but privately, I don't know who you are.
00:31:17.000I want you guys to check it out right now.
00:31:20.000We've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.
00:31:27.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.
00:31:34.000They are the trusted source of American K-12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources for parents and grandparents.

00:32:05.000We riffed on this a little bit yesterday.
00:32:07.000We're going to talk about this in the Ask Me Anything episode hour coming up in the next hour.
00:32:12.000And we talked about how there is an intentional campaign by the federal government to weaken the dollar, to deteriorate the dollar, which means you get inflation.
00:32:21.000And they're doing so through massive quantitative easing, very sneakily, by the way.
00:32:25.000For those of you that may not be paying attention, just off the top of your head, if you're not, I want you to answer this.
00:32:31.000And if you get the answer right, email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:32:34.000Without Googling, honor system, honor system, the NASDAQ.
00:32:39.000What kind of year did it have in 2023?
00:32:42.000Was it down 10%, down 15%, up 5%, up 10%?
00:32:53.000NASDAQ is a stock market index that includes almost all stocks listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, along with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the SP 500.
00:34:53.000Well, Janet Yellen, who is a sneaky little trickster, she knows all these little pockets of money that she could deploy, buy back bonds here and release here.
00:35:01.000And so the money eventually has to find a home.
00:35:05.000And it will find a home in publicly traded securities or in real estate.
00:35:13.000This is why, despite the fact that the economy is not good, that asset prices, especially real estate, is going up.
00:36:05.000But what it does mean is that the federal government is signaling to you, they are broadcasting to you every single day: 15 to 20% inflation is becoming the new norm.
00:36:15.00015 to 20% inflation is becoming the new norm.
00:36:17.000That means that you have to outperform inflation and not get poor.
00:36:21.000You have to become richer than inflation every year to not get poorer.
00:36:26.000Your assets have to mature over the rate of inflation.
00:36:29.000Your investments have to mature and perform over the rate of inflation.
00:36:34.000Only the hyper-rich will be able to do that.
00:36:36.000Only people that can be diversified into different sorts of asset classes will be able to post a 30% annualized return.
00:36:43.000I remember back when people used to brag that they would get a 7% return.
00:36:48.000If you're getting a 7% return in the new normal, you will get 13% poorer with where we're headed.
00:36:58.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
