The Charlie Kirk Show - Fear and Free Stuff: Biden's Plan to Keep Power

00:00:00.000 A short update about what's happening in Nebraska.

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:03.000 And it's good news as I head to Omaha.

00:00:06.000 And then a recent story of where Joe Biden is going to try and bribe voters.

00:00:10.000 Remember, there are two ways.

00:00:12.000 There is fear and free stuff that tyrants hold on to power.

00:00:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:42.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:43.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:30.000 Tonight, we are going to be in Omaha, Nebraska.

00:01:33.000 I also want to draw your attention.

00:01:35.000 We have President Donald Trump as the confirmed keynote of the People's Convention in Detroit, Michigan coming up in June.

00:01:42.000 So get your tickets there at tpaction.com.

00:01:46.000 Without getting too far into the details, I had a great phone call this morning with one of the top decision makers in Governor Pillen's office in Nebraska.

00:01:56.000 I was encouraged by the tone, the focus, and the sophistication.

00:02:02.000 It was nearly a 20 to 30 minute phone call, and the governor's team told me directly they're 100% focused on getting winner-take-all done.

00:02:10.000 Now, that's not a big surprise based on what the press release was yesterday, but they said they're 100% focused.

00:02:17.000 And they said that we can, I could tell you that they are ready to get this finished.

00:02:24.000 And of course, that will require a special session, but getting it done correctly.

00:02:27.000 Understand, there's a lot of goofy legal minutiae that can pop up in Nebraska.

00:02:33.000 Their ability to challenge it in court, their ability to collect signatures.

00:02:38.000 So all of that needs to be thought about and needs to be, let's just say, contemplated.

00:02:43.000 Additionally, there is an entire team dedicated to this that has been fervent supporters for winner take-all.

00:02:50.000 But the real thanks goes to you guys, the audience.

00:02:54.000 You were polite.

00:02:55.000 You were focused.

00:02:57.000 You contacted the governor's office from all across the country.

00:02:59.000 Now, this is not a celebratory lap, but this is certainly some good news.

00:03:05.000 This is some good news that the governor of Nebraska understands the significance, the weight of this, and he wants to get this done.

00:03:13.000 And it was a really good phone call.

00:03:14.000 I didn't know what to expect for the phone call because we have this big event coming in.

00:03:18.000 And it's all in.

00:03:21.000 We want to get this done.

00:03:22.000 Really good vibes, everybody.

00:03:24.000 And thank you for keeping the pressure on.

00:03:26.000 I want to encourage you guys to come tonight at tpaction.com/slash rally.

00:03:32.000 And by the way, the governor has been really great on other issues, on life issues, on Second Amendment issues.

00:03:36.000 This would be the biggest of all of them.

00:03:38.000 Fixing the Nebraska electoral college system would be the biggest of them all.

00:03:44.000 And that ties perfectly into our lead today.

00:03:48.000 Where was Joe Biden yesterday?

00:03:51.000 Was Joe Biden staring into the heavens to look at the eclipse?

00:03:56.000 Was Joe Biden taking a nap in the East Wing?

00:04:01.000 No, Joe Biden was in one of the states he believes will decide the entire election.

00:04:09.000 Biden reboots student debt relief.

00:04:14.000 The Biden administration is proposing a sweeping initiative to slash student debt for nearly 30 million Americans, a plan that will likely face legal challenges.

00:04:26.000 The proposal marks a major new White House effort to appeal to progressive and younger voters with polls show Biden trailing Donald Trump and underperforming with adults under 30.

00:04:40.000 Where did Joe Biden decide to give this speech?

00:04:43.000 Where did Joe Biden decide to make this announcement?

00:04:46.000 And that connects beautifully with Nebraska and this entire idea of the blue wall.

00:04:54.000 Joe Biden, speaking in Dane County, Wisconsin, says, while a college degree still is a ticket to the middle class, that ticket is becoming much too expensive, Biden said in a speech in Madison, Wisconsin.

00:05:09.000 Today, too many Americans, especially young people, are saddled with unsustainable debts in exchange for a college degree.

00:05:14.000 Now, Mr. Biden, if you want to read the college scam, I will happily sign a copy for you.

00:05:21.000 I will happily sign a copy of the college scam and send it to you at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

00:05:28.000 You let me know.

00:05:28.000 Joe Biden, I will personalize it.

00:05:31.000 The college scam.

00:05:34.000 I should send it regardless.

00:05:35.000 I don't think it's going to be read.

00:05:37.000 Why is Joe Biden in Wisconsin?

00:05:39.000 He's in Wisconsin because he is trying to narrow the entire presidential election to Pennsylvania, to Michigan, Wisconsin.

00:05:46.000 If Nebraska fixes their electoral system, it opens up the map nationally.

00:05:52.000 Now, let's dive into this further.

00:05:54.000 What is this actually what Joe Biden is doing?

00:05:58.000 This is naked bribery.

00:06:01.000 Joe Biden basically has no real accomplishments to run on.

00:06:04.000 The economy is terrible.

00:06:06.000 The border has stopped existing.

00:06:08.000 Anyone watching the news can see billions of dollars flowing away to a Ukraine war that we aren't even going to win.

00:06:16.000 His foreign policy is only good if you have a fetish for national humiliation.

00:06:20.000 But Biden's fallback is to go to one of the oldest tricks of Democrat politics.

00:06:26.000 Remember, as we say frequently here on this program, tyrants have two ways to hold on to power.

00:06:32.000 Fear and free stuff.

00:06:38.000 In one week, you have seen grandmas be sentenced to prison for praying in the Capitol. 0.70

00:06:45.000 A week later, Joe Biden goes away to give free stuff for college students and college graduates in Madison, Wisconsin.

00:06:54.000 Fear and free stuff.

00:06:57.000 Buy off the public.

00:06:59.000 Back in 2022, Biden made a big deal to bail out tens of billions of dollars worth of student loans.

00:07:04.000 Last year, the Supreme Court shut down that effort again.

00:07:08.000 Biden is just going to try this again and again and again, change a couple things and dare the court to stop him a second time.

00:07:15.000 So Biden goes to Wisconsin, a state that he knows he needs to win.

00:07:20.000 And the Biden plan is no joke to give most student loan relief to those who have been the least responsible in their behavior.

00:07:29.000 That's right.

00:07:30.000 The people that have paid off the loans the worst. 1.00

00:07:34.000 So not only is this debt forgiveness, not only is this bribery, but if you have been responsibly paying off your student loans, you're a sucker. 0.90

00:07:43.000 If you're a plumber, an electrician, a welder, if you're a police officer, a firefighter, an entrepreneur, if you served our military and didn't go to college, Joe Biden says, get out of the way. 0.87

00:07:53.000 It is the individuals that studied North African lesbian poetry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that are not able to pay off their loans.

00:08:02.000 They're the ones that Joe Biden is attempting to bribe.

00:08:06.000 Joe Biden's new plan are people whose loan balances are higher than what they originally borrowed.

00:08:11.000 In other words, people who have never been paying their payments on time.

00:08:15.000 People who have been in repayment for more than 20 years.

00:08:18.000 Same idea.

00:08:19.000 That only happens if you aren't paying them back.

00:08:21.000 And people who choose to attend colleges and programs that didn't offer sufficient financial value.

00:08:29.000 Now, what would make sense is making it so students can't take out these loans to attend the schools that have no financial value in the first place.

00:08:36.000 Wouldn't that be nice?

00:08:37.000 Stop giving loans to gender studies and race studies.

00:08:39.000 Stop letting people borrow $150,000 for a photography degree.

00:08:44.000 But that is not the Biden regime's plan.

00:08:46.000 The plan is that overwhelmingly left-wing colleges still get huge shots of taxpayer money.

00:08:51.000 And then Daddy Biden comes along to forgive the loan balance for borrowers.

00:08:56.000 So who gets most hosed in this system?

00:08:59.000 Anyone who was responsible.

00:09:02.000 There are millions of people who avoided college to avoid debt.

00:09:06.000 Other people went to lower-ranked schools on scholarship.

00:09:10.000 Some people did AP classes in high school.

00:09:12.000 Some people went to community college first.

00:09:14.000 Some people did a stint in the military just to get the GI money. 1.00

00:09:17.000 All of you are losers. 0.98

00:09:19.000 If you have invested in delayed gratification and earned success, Joe Biden has no respect for you. 1.00

00:09:25.000 He's just trying to bribe the least responsible members of society.

00:09:30.000 Biden is saying people who borrow money irresponsibly are better than you, and you should never be expected to repay it.

00:09:38.000 Biden's plan is just to wipe out all interest on student loans for millions of people.

00:09:42.000 And the groups affected are the following.

00:09:45.000 Borrowers who loan balances have ballooned because of interest would have up to $20,000 of their interest balance canceled.

00:09:52.000 The plan would waive the entire interest balance for borrowers considered low or middle income or enrolled in the administration's income-driven repayment plans.

00:10:00.000 It goes on and on, but there's another reason why Joe Biden is doing this.

00:10:06.000 And a new politico story is part of a continuation of data and polling that goes to show that young people are dramatically becoming more conservative.

00:10:20.000 And believe it or not, older folks, baby boomers, are becoming more Democrat and Joe Biden, pro-Joe Biden.

00:10:28.000 What is going on here?

00:10:32.000 Do you know if you're getting enough magnesium?

00:10:33.000 Because four out of five of Americans are not.

00:10:35.000 And that's a big problem because magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in your body.

00:10:40.000 Today I want to tell you and talk to you about one of the most common signs to look for that can indicate you're magnesium deficient.

00:10:46.000 Listen carefully to the end for this special offer happening, and this could be exactly what you need.

00:10:51.000 Are you irritable or anxious?

00:10:53.000 Do you struggle with insomnium?

00:10:54.000 Do you experience muscle cramps or twitches?

00:10:56.000 Do you have high blood pressure?

00:10:57.000 Are you sometimes constipated?

00:10:59.000 There are dozens of symptoms that magnesium deficiency.

00:11:02.000 So these are just a few common ones.

00:11:04.000 Now, here's what most people don't know.

00:11:06.000 Taking just any magnesium supplement won't solve your problem because most supplements use the cheapest kind that your body can't use or absorb.

00:11:13.000 I am a believer in magnesium.

00:11:14.000 It's helped me with my health and wellness.

00:11:16.000 All bioptimizer supplements are best in class.

00:11:18.000 If for some reason you feel differently, you can get a full refund.

00:11:21.000 No questions asked.

00:11:44.000 Joe Biden is bringing the college scam to apply to all of America.

00:11:49.000 So, if you are a dutiful taxpayer, you have to pay for the following.

00:11:53.000 Borrowers who loan balances have ballooned because their interest would have up to $20,000 of their interest balance canceled.

00:12:00.000 Borrowers considered low and middle-income who are enrolled in the administration's income-driven repayment plans.

00:12:06.000 The interest forgiveness would be a one-time benefit, but would be the largest relief valve in the plan.

00:12:11.000 The administration estimates that of the 25 million borrowers that could see relief under this waiver, 23 million would see their entire interest balance paid out.

00:12:21.000 Borrowers who are eligible but have not yet applied for loan forgiveness under existing programs like the Public Service Loan Forgiveness or the administration's repayment program called SAVE would have their debts automatically canceled.

00:12:35.000 Borrowers with undergraduate student loan debt who started repaying their loans more than 20 years ago and graduate students who started paying their debt 25 years ago would have their debts canceled.

00:12:47.000 Borrowers who enrolled in programs or colleges that lost federal funding because they cheated or defrauded students would have all their debts waived.

00:12:54.000 Students who attended institutions or programs that left them with amounts of debt but bleak earning or job prospects would also be eligible for relief.

00:13:01.000 So basically, Joe Biden is saying, if college is demonstrably a scam for you, I will pay your student loans.

00:13:09.000 You know who should pay for those student loans if they were scammed, which many students are?

00:13:14.000 The colleges.

00:13:15.000 How about you go to the endowments and you have these endowments pay for how they scammed these students?

00:13:23.000 Harvard has a $45 to $50 billion endowment.

00:13:28.000 But why is Joe Biden doing this?

00:13:31.000 Why is Joe Biden going all in on using the free stuff of the fear and free stuff binary that tyrants often use?

00:13:41.000 Joe Biden can't win over the people on his policies.

00:13:43.000 He can't win over the people based on his vision for the country.

00:13:47.000 He's trying to intimidate half the country, saying that you might get a knock on the door, or I'm going to bribe you and pay you off.

00:13:58.000 So why is Joe Biden focusing on this constituency?

00:14:02.000 Typically, Democrats don't have to worry much about the youth vote.

00:14:08.000 Typically, Democrats don't have to worry about college students.

00:14:11.000 And I will say that Turning Point deserves to take some credit for this.

00:14:15.000 We have been attacked, smeared, slandered by Republicans, Rana, the RNC, many people on the right, but we have kept building and building and building.

00:14:25.000 Starting high school chapters, starting college chapters.

00:14:28.000 We're part of a big movement.

00:14:29.000 Daily Wire deserves credit.

00:14:31.000 Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro.

00:14:35.000 It's a huge ecosystem.

00:14:37.000 Michael Knowles, great people.

00:14:39.000 Stephen Crowder, War Room.

00:14:41.000 It's just this incredible ecosystem that exists.

00:14:44.000 But we have really been primarily focused on students and young people.

00:14:48.000 We also have TPUSA Faith and Blexit.

00:14:51.000 And I remember people asked many, you know, months, years ago, Charlie, when is all you're going to work manifest into good results with young people?

00:14:59.000 We're waiting to see the actual electoral results, but polls, this is politico.com.

00:15:05.000 Polls show young voters going for Trump and older voters backing Biden.

00:15:12.000 What is going on?

00:15:15.000 The polls are suggesting a huge shift in the electorate.

00:15:17.000 Are they right?

00:15:18.000 Now, I will say this.

00:15:19.000 I don't think these polls are as accurate as they're saying.

00:15:22.000 I think that young people are hard to poll. 1.00

00:15:25.000 I think that young people are more liberal than even these polls suggest, but they are becoming more conservative.

00:15:31.000 I will even acknowledge that.

00:15:32.000 I don't want to get too high on our own supply here.

00:15:35.000 However, this is legit.

00:15:37.000 President Joe Biden is struggling with young voters, but performing better than most Democrats with older ones.

00:15:44.000 Now, I'm going to get tons of hate mail.

00:15:46.000 You ready?

00:15:47.000 Man the ramparts, everybody.

00:15:49.000 The email inbox is about to shake with an income in influx.

00:15:54.000 Present boomers watching this aside, Joe Biden's base are upper-middle-class white baby boomers.

00:16:05.000 Just the way it is.

00:16:07.000 Data shows it.

00:16:08.000 Polling shows it.

00:16:09.000 Election results show it.

00:16:11.000 Upper middle class educated white baby boomers are the most likely to be pro-Joe Biden.

00:16:17.000 What is the Trump coalition?

00:16:19.000 Muscular class plus working class Hispanics, working-class blacks, and increasingly young families.

00:16:26.000 That's right.

00:16:27.000 Young families and young men and increasingly young women.

00:16:33.000 Polls show that Donald Trump is ascendant with the youngest block of the electorate, even leading Joe Biden in some surveys as less engaged young people spurn Biden.

00:16:45.000 Meanwhile, Biden is stronger with seniors than he was four years ago, even as his personal image is significantly diminished since he was elected last time.

00:16:52.000 I'm going to tell you why this is the case, because young people own nothing and they are not happy. 0.66

00:17:02.000 Remember as a kid, your parents and grandparents making you try all the vegetables on your plate or when they coaxed you to eat fruit instead of sweets?

00:17:08.000 That's because they knew what was good for you.

00:17:10.000 And it's truer today than ever before.

00:17:12.000 You need to eat your fruits and veggies.

00:17:14.000 There's no substitute for a healthy diet, but there is balance of nature.

00:17:18.000 Their products are gluten-free and non-GMO, and they contain no added sugars or synthetics.

00:17:23.000 If you're looking for something to make you feel better naturally, you should definitely try Balance of Nature today.

00:17:28.000 Eat your fruits and veggies every single day with Balance of Nature.

00:17:31.000 I started taking Balance of Nature the day I decided I was ready to feel better.

00:17:51.000 Use discount code Charlie to get 35% off.

00:17:57.000 It makes sense as to why younger people are becoming more conservative.

00:18:02.000 You see this with an influential group of people first that shape opinion for a lot of young people.

00:18:08.000 Let's call them Russell Brand, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan.

00:18:12.000 Those three individuals fascinate me.

00:18:15.000 I'm big fans of all three of them.

00:18:17.000 Russell Brand never would have had right-wingers on his show.

00:18:21.000 We had a wonderful time on Russell Brand's show.

00:18:23.000 Joe Rogan used to be kind of a cultural libertarian.

00:18:26.000 He is highly critical of the Southern Border Invasion.

00:18:30.000 Joe Rogan was excellent on the COVID stuff on Ivermectin, lockdowns, et cetera.

00:18:35.000 And then, of course, Elon Musk.

00:18:36.000 Elon Musk has said, if there is not a red wave in November, the civilization will end.

00:18:42.000 That is Elon Musk's quote when it comes to politics.

00:18:47.000 Now, Russell Brand, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan, they are not millennials, but I believe they are all Gen X. One of the working theories we've had for quite some time is the rise of Gen X. Gen X has lived in the shadow of baby boomers for quite some time. 0.91

00:19:07.000 And I have nothing against baby boomers. 0.99

00:19:09.000 I will tell you the data as it is presented that baby boomers are the base of the Democrat Party and of Joe Biden versus Republicans.

00:19:20.000 It's just the factor I know.

00:19:21.000 And that's never been the case before.

00:19:23.000 Older voters have almost always tended to be Republican.

00:19:27.000 But we're seeing this middle group, ages 25 to 50, ages 25 to 50, are the new conservative base.

00:19:38.000 And increasingly, 18 to 25 year old men.

00:19:42.000 And that is a profound sea change.

00:19:45.000 So what is going on here?

00:19:47.000 One of the reasons, and many of you do not fall into this category.

00:19:50.000 So needless to say, you can exempt yourself from this observation, but it's as follows, that typically a baby boomer voter owns property.

00:20:05.000 They have a belief of an America that is unstoppable, untouchable, and will always be this great superpower.

00:20:17.000 And they believe it is a great superpower because of defending a status quo that was built in the rules-based international order post-World War II.

00:20:29.000 Many, not you, but many in the baby boomer demographic that are voting for Biden look at Biden, not for his ability to speak or whatever, but they look at him as a stable remnant of the rules-based international order that many of them made a lot of money from.

00:20:50.000 If you are 70 and you own your home, if you are 75 and you own a business, if you are 80 and you own a home, you have a completely different view of the country than the demographic that I speak to on campus that is 21 and they're $100,000 in debt, and they tell me I will never be able to own a home.

00:21:15.000 According to Zillow.com, it required $59,000 a year to purchase a home four years ago.

00:21:24.000 Now it requires $109,000 a year and upwards to $130,000 to $140,000 a year in California, New York and some of the pricier places in the country.

00:21:36.000 $130,000 a year.

00:21:39.000 And these students are borrowing tons of money.

00:21:42.000 They're not sure about their future, not to mention the taxes, the price of groceries, gasoline, health insurance, and our broken healthcare system.

00:21:50.000 They see complete mismanagement and we believe an invasion on the southern border, adventurous foreign wars, and our leaders are quick to throw money overseas to support the Ukrainians, but not support them.

00:22:01.000 And they are repulsed by the continual defense that some baby boomers give about how wonderful this rules-based international order is.

00:22:15.000 The promise from the World Economic Forum was by 2030, you would own nothing and you would be happy.

00:22:23.000 Gen Z millennials, and to a lesser extent, Gen X, Gen X owns property, but they see the civilization untangle and they're raising kids in this bedlam. 0.73

00:22:35.000 They're actively raising children as the society unravels.

00:22:40.000 Gen X, the best way I could explain it, is the parents' party. 0.64

00:22:46.000 They're right there in the mix of the tsunami of the parents issues, the transing of our kids, the overrunning of our schools, economic uncertainty. 1.00

00:22:57.000 They're on the front lines.

00:23:00.000 And if you do not own anything, why would you buy into the sort of stability that Joe Biden is preaching?

00:23:09.000 And it came to me as I was watching my morning, let's just say, my morning ritual of having to torture myself.

00:23:20.000 When I go through Morning Joe very early in the morning, I record it.

00:23:23.000 I don't get up at 3 a.m.

00:23:24.000 I get up early because I'm on the West Coast.

00:23:26.000 And I go through Morning Joe.

00:23:27.000 And one of the guests made an argument.

00:23:29.000 He said, this election is about the post-World War II order and the America that was about free trade and welcoming immigrants and what Donald Trump is trying to usher in, which is a completely different vision.

00:23:44.000 And I said, I totally agree.

00:23:46.000 Donald Trump is the one that comes onto the scene and says, wait a second, the middle class is vanishing.

00:23:53.000 People cannot afford the deductible on their health insurance.

00:23:59.000 They are losing faith in the very country they have been raised in.

00:24:03.000 That explains the political poll.

00:24:07.000 Polls show younger voters going for Trump and older voters backing Biden.

00:24:13.000 What is going on?

00:24:15.000 Older voters have had an enjoyable multiple decades in this country.

00:24:22.000 They've done very well.

00:24:24.000 They've been able to own property.

00:24:26.000 They've been able to flourish.

00:24:27.000 And don't get me wrong, you could still have all those things.

00:24:30.000 I'm a living example that the American dream is still alive.

00:24:34.000 But for millions of young people, it is not alive.

00:24:38.000 Many baby boomers live through the Pax Ramana of America. 0.97

00:24:43.000 The embedded growth obligation.

00:24:45.000 Things just keep on getting better and they get better and they'll always get better.

00:24:51.000 But for a 27-year-old that is not married, does not have children, finds the dating pool to just be unappealing, doesn't own a home, works like a Russian serf to be able to barely break even, that creates number one, political cynicism, number two, massive distrust of our leaders and the current system. 0.63

00:25:16.000 And number three, a potential political volcano.

00:25:21.000 Do you want me to tell you in different worlds, and this is going to get clipped?

00:25:24.000 You ready, Andrew?

00:25:25.000 This is going to get clipped.

00:25:27.000 It's not that bad.

00:25:28.000 Don't worry.

00:25:30.000 Donald Trump is benefiting from the anger that many Bernie Sanders primary voters tried to show us in 2016 and 2020.

00:25:37.000 They're just older now.

00:25:39.000 Many of the Sanders folks were Sanders voters because Sanders was one of the few candidates with Trump to say, it's rigged.

00:25:45.000 It's terrible.

00:25:46.000 They're making all this money.

00:25:47.000 Biden is the status quo incumbent.

00:25:52.000 Biden is George W. Bush.

00:25:54.000 He is the machine.

00:25:56.000 And Bernie has gone basically radio silent because Bernie is now part of the very Leviathan.

00:26:02.000 And for the Bernie Sanders base that should have won the nomination in 2016 and should have won the nomination in 2020, we disagree with him on the trans stuff and we used to agree on immigration, but not anymore.

00:26:11.000 We disagree on so much stuff.

00:26:12.000 The one thing that Bernie is not wrong about is that there's a bipartisan corporate oligarchy that keeps on getting richer and richer.

00:26:20.000 And the working class and young people are getting screwed.

00:26:25.000 Inflation is just a polite word for theft.

00:26:30.000 Inflation is just a nice way to say, I'm going to steal and take your money.

00:26:35.000 We're living through record inflation.

00:26:37.000 You can't purchase homes.

00:26:38.000 And to add insult to injury, the cities that many of these young people live in are infested with crime, homelessness, disease.

00:26:48.000 They're being overrun.

00:26:49.000 Public services don't work the way they used to.

00:26:52.000 It is the most depressed, suicidal, alcohol-addicted, drug-addicted generation in history.

00:26:56.000 And Joe Biden's message is: vote for me because I am the status quo.

00:27:02.000 Not every baby boomer believes what this poll shows.

00:27:07.000 But this is the continuation of 15, 16, 20, 25 polls that show the younger group are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore.

00:27:18.000 And I see it when I attend these campuses, everybody.

00:27:21.000 It is the rafters are shaking at KU.

00:27:24.000 We couldn't find a room big enough.

00:27:25.000 Can we get a picture of the room that we had at KU?

00:27:28.000 I mean, you would think that Led Zeppelin was in there or something.

00:27:32.000 It was standing room only way to turn away all these people.

00:27:34.000 This is happening across the country.

00:27:37.000 And the fundamental things that require the continuation of the American project, we are just forgetting.

00:27:46.000 You need low government debt, fantastic capital markets, the rule of law, cultural cohesion, affordable energy and cheap housing, and low crime.

00:27:56.000 Let me say that again.

00:27:57.000 Low government debt, terrific capital markets.

00:28:00.000 You need the rule of law.

00:28:01.000 You need cultural cohesion, affordable energy and cheap housing, and a border would be nice.

00:28:06.000 Now we have a more crowded country, expensive energy, out-of-reach housing, an immigration industry that has ripped apart our cultural cohesion, a weaponized political party, an entrenched and bloated government, poor church attendance, and the excesses of the prosperity that have come home to roost. 1.00

00:28:21.000 The debts have to be paid, and younger people are paying them. 1.00

00:28:27.000 It is much harder to build something great than to preserve it.

00:28:30.000 It is far easy to preserve something than to rebuild it, but we have not preserved America.

00:28:35.000 And young people know this.

00:28:36.000 They don't, some of them know it intellectually, but more importantly, they know it instinctively, instinctively.

00:28:42.000 They can feel it.

00:28:44.000 They can sense it.

00:28:46.000 And they're looking for anything that can execute a rescue mission of their generation from the drowning of America.

00:29:55.000 That is mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:30:00.000 And again, I just want to say when I talk about the boomers, I'm looking at polling, and it's not many of you in the audience, but it is a fact, according to what we're seeing on the ground, what we're seeing anecdotally, what we're seeing in the data, we're seeing in the narrative is a different polling average.

00:30:20.000 Now, let me just name some of these names, though, of people that are now technically seniors in the 2024 election.

00:30:28.000 Mark Cuban.

00:30:30.000 Boy, he does a good job of first making himself look young and act young.

00:30:34.000 You would think that Mark Cuban is like 45 or 48 years old.

00:30:38.000 Katie Keirich, Magic Johnson, Madonna, Weird Al, Jenner.

00:30:43.000 You know, Jenner is 74 years old.

00:30:47.000 74 years old.

00:30:49.000 Wow.

00:30:50.000 I am not supportive, obviously, of gender doing Jenner doing the gender thing.

00:30:54.000 However, to Jenner's credit, Jenner thinks that what we're doing to children with gender-affirming care is terrible and is totally against men and female sports.

00:31:01.000 And so Jenner deserves credit there.

00:31:03.000 Flava Flav is 65.

00:31:05.000 Tim Allen is 70.

00:31:06.000 Spike Lee is 67.

00:31:08.000 And Gina Davis, I have no idea who that is, is 68. 0.99

00:31:12.000 So that explains that you have a different definition of what a senior actually is.

00:31:20.000 It's different than you might think.

00:31:21.000 It's not just all Archie Bunker.

00:31:23.000 Politico says, we have an age inversion, a warning sign of a structural problem in the 2024 election.

00:31:32.000 If the changes are real, it would have profound effects on the coalitions both campaigns are building for November.

00:31:40.000 No Republican has won young voters since George H.W. Bush's landslide victory in 1988.

00:31:48.000 And no Democrat has carried the senior vote since Al Gore hammered Bush's son, George W. Bush, on Social Security 2000.

00:31:56.000 So let me take a pause here.

00:31:57.000 I think that Trump will end up winning the senior vote.

00:32:00.000 I think Trump will end up winning the boomer vote, but he might not win it by as much as Republicans traditionally do.

00:32:06.000 Those are two different things.

00:32:08.000 And I don't think Joe Biden is going to lose the youth vote.

00:32:12.000 I just don't think he's going to win it nearly as convincingly as we've seen in years past.

00:32:17.000 But understand that Joe Biden going to Wisconsin is a red alert.

00:32:24.000 It's Joe Biden, A, broadcasting the great patriots of Nebraska.

00:32:28.000 We got to get that electoral fix done.

00:32:30.000 B, Joe Biden is going to try and bribe using the fierce stuff of the two-pronged attack of tyrants, fear and free stuff, using the free stuff tactic of trying to buy votes.

00:32:45.000 Vote for me.

00:32:46.000 I'll give you enough goodies.

00:32:47.000 Not enough goodies to actually do anything meaningful in your life, but just enough to have you come groveling back for more.

00:32:54.000 And the dynamics are remarkable.

00:32:56.000 And it is promising.

00:32:58.000 In fact, you should want it this way.

00:33:01.000 You should want young people to be going in the conservative generational direction. 0.95

00:33:08.000 Why any baby boomer would vote for Democrats is generational treason.

00:33:16.000 Why any baby boomer would vote for a party that hates the country and is passing down a damaged republic and that we're committing slow motion suicide is remarkable to me.

00:33:29.000 But it is promising that the generation that was predicted to be the most progressive generation in history, millennials and Gen Z, we were told that they were Bernie bros, Obama guys, and that we are going to bring a Marxist revolution because of young people.

00:33:48.000 And I will say, credit, credit, credit to Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA.

00:33:54.000 If this even manifests fractionally in November, what Turning Point will have pulled off is one of the great generational surprises in history.

00:34:05.000 Despite all the condemnation, all the mockery, all the attacks that we've received from the media and conservatives alike, the data is showing that the kids are all right and they want a future.

00:34:19.000 They want to get married.

00:34:21.000 They want to have children.

00:34:22.000 They want to own property.

00:34:24.000 They want to be able to go on a vacation with their family.

00:34:27.000 These things are so out of grasp and it creates a bubbling up effect, a potential cynicism.

00:34:35.000 But since Joe Biden is not channeling the energy of the Bernie bros or of the progressive movement, it opens an opportunity for Donald Trump and for those of us that are populist nationalists to build a multi-generational, multi-racial coalition to take back this country and to fulfill the promise that you can own property, get married, and have children.
