Summary

Young people are idealists. They respond to a vision. For the past four years, they ve seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime. That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy. Under Biden, our young people own nothing, and they are miserable. Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright.


Transcript

00:00:04.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:06.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:12.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:15.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:21.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
00:00:26.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:27.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:29.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:32.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:34.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:36.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:38.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:40.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:42.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:45.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:46.000 Here I am.
00:00:47.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:49.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:50.000 Here we go.
00:00:57.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:10.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie Kirk.
00:01:29.000 We're people!
00:01:30.000 Thank you, everybody.
00:01:32.000 Thank you.
00:01:34.000 Good evening.
00:01:35.000 I'm Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:01:43.000 Together, the largest conservative grassroots organizations in the country.
00:01:49.000 Thanks to our work, I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast, and social media.
00:01:58.000 Said differently, I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.
00:02:06.000 I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears.
00:02:13.000 You see, young people are idealists.
00:02:16.000 They respond to vision.
00:02:19.000 For the past four years, they've seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime.
00:02:25.000 That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy.
00:02:31.000 The Democrats say, instead of owning a home, you'll rent a 400-square-foot studio apartment.
00:02:38.000 Instead of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app.
00:02:42.000 Their vision is this.
00:02:44.000 Limit your dreams.
00:02:46.000 Give up.
00:02:48.000 Aim lower.
00:02:49.000 Be content with less.
00:02:52.000 If you're a 20-something in America, life has been really tough.
00:02:56.000 You've watched home prices rise 47% since 2020.
00:03:01.000 47%.
00:03:03.000 Home ownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year.
00:03:10.000 Since I last spoke at the Republican convention four years ago, I've become a husband and father.
00:03:18.000 In fact, we have two under two.
00:03:21.000 I think I get extra points for that.
00:03:24.000 For millions of people my age, that is a dream that feels farther away than ever under the Biden-Harris administration.
00:03:34.000 According to current projections, one-third of today's young Americans will never get married.
00:03:39.000 The average American is having fewer children than ever before.
00:03:44.000 Why?
00:03:45.000 It's because for far too many, they simply can't afford them.
00:03:51.000 The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and millennials.
00:03:58.000 You see, the American dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite.
00:04:05.000 Happy countries have children.
00:04:08.000 Broken countries have addiction, depression, and suffering.
00:04:13.000 Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry, and work until they die, childless.
00:04:30.000 Under Biden, our young people own nothing and they are miserable.
00:04:34.000 Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream.
00:04:45.000 When he was president, young people were richer than ever before, and he will do it again.
00:04:53.000 Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright.
00:05:00.000 One your grandparents and those before them gave everything to hand down to you.
00:05:06.000 And listen carefully, everybody.
00:05:08.000 This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years.
00:05:22.000 To all the Gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just for you.
00:05:30.000 You don't have to stay poor.
00:05:32.000 You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents.
00:05:35.000 You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy.
00:05:38.000 You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote.
00:05:43.000 America's future is a series of choices.
00:05:47.000 Our current state of slow-motion national decline is a choice.
00:05:56.000 This November, we're going to choose success.
00:06:00.000 We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first.
00:06:06.000 We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election.
00:06:11.000 We together are going to do the work to save America.
00:06:17.000 We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters.
00:06:26.000 And all of us together working harder than ever, we will fire the Biden-Harris regime and put Donald Trump back in the White House where he belongs.
00:06:38.000 God bless you guys.
00:06:39.000 Thank you so much.
