00:03:35.000 I want to start this hour off with a study that was done by Arizona Christian University.
00:03:41.000 They do this study every single year, and it's nonpartisan in nature, and it's just surveying millennials, young people, increasingly older, obviously, everyone gets older, and kind of what their stance is on the world, on themselves.
00:03:56.000 And before I go into this, I just want to say there are some numbers in this document that are shocking, even for someone who deals with young people, beyond shocking.
00:04:07.000 And I hope that every single parent out there and grandparent thinks and prays deeply about what I'm about to share with you.
00:04:14.000 What I'm about to share with you in this document should be a fire alarm.
00:04:20.000 It should be a call to urgency.
00:04:23.000 Because if these trends don't fix, if these trends don't correct themselves, the country will fall apart in a decade.
00:04:30.000 And that's not me being doom and gloom.
00:04:33.000 If these numbers are true.
00:04:36.000 So let's start with this one.
00:04:38.000 I find this incredibly hard to believe.
00:04:41.000 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds in America identify as lesbian or gay or bisexual.
00:04:50.000 39%.
00:04:54.000 You know, this was kind of the great lie of the gay movement, wasn't it? 1.00
00:04:59.000 Which was like, oh, yeah, we just have to give equal rights, and then it's just going to be a non-issue.
00:05:06.000 Then why is it that more people in every generation are identifying as gay?
00:05:11.000 Why is that?
00:05:13.000 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds identify as LGBTQ.
00:05:19.000 39%.
00:05:23.000 Only one-third of millennials claim to believe in God.
00:05:28.000 One-third of millennials.
00:05:33.000 A record-breaking number of 40% of young adults say that they have a don't perspective.
00:05:41.000 People who don't know if God exists, don't care if God exists, and don't believe that he exists.
00:05:47.000 40% of millennials surveyed, according to this study, call themselves very liberal or progressive when 29% say they are conservative.
00:05:57.000 Further, those who think of themselves as Democrats outnumber those who identify as Republican by a two-to-one margin.
00:06:06.000 Continue by saying that in this study by Arizona Christian University, three out of four millennials said that they are still searching for their purpose in life.
00:06:18.000 Well, that's pretty obvious because we sent so many millennials to college, which is a place where your soul and your dreams largely go to die.
00:06:27.000 Issues listed by millennials that have little importance, 2% importance, income inequality and redistribution, rule of law, media standards.
00:06:42.000 The most important issue for millennials, think about this.
00:06:44.000 This is how propaganda is there.
00:06:46.000 The number one most important issue is coronavirus management.
00:06:50.000 For a generation, you know, I've actually found this.
00:06:52.000 I find that some young people are way more worried about the Fauci virus than people over the age of 60 because they've been raised in a generation of fear, obviously.
00:07:00.000 Climate change, second most important issue for millennials.
00:07:04.000 Third one, racial discrimination.
00:07:06.000 Give me a break.
00:07:08.000 Fourth, abortion. 0.99
00:07:09.000 And fifth, the economy.
00:07:12.000 Most millennials, according to this study, reject the existence of absolute moral truth.
00:07:19.000 A majority admit to feeling daily anxious, depressed, or fearful.
00:07:26.000 So basically, you have the most liberal, the most depressed generation.
00:07:31.000 But I have to say, this study is actually very confirming for me and for our show.
00:07:38.000 You might say, Charlie, how could you say that? 0.95
00:07:40.000 Well, they're the most miserable. 0.89
00:07:41.000 They're the least godly generation in American history, and they're the most depressed. 0.89
00:07:45.000 Obviously, you have no relationship with the transcendent or with God.
00:07:48.000 You're going to be depressed, anxious, and fearful.
00:07:50.000 You don't know your place in the world.
00:07:52.000 Three out of four millennials say they don't know their place in life.
00:07:54.000 It's because we've decided to destroy God in society.
00:07:59.000 As America has become more secular, it has become less free.
00:08:05.000 What is life worth sacrificing for?
00:08:08.000 Only 26% of millennials say that your country, America, is worth sacrificing for.
00:08:15.000 26% of millennials say that they would sacrifice anything for their country.
00:08:22.000 26.
00:08:24.000 Only 41% say that they would sacrifice anything for their freedoms.
00:08:29.000 Satisfaction with life elements.
00:08:32.000 Only 29% of millennials say that they are satisfied with their life.
00:08:36.000 29%.
00:08:38.000 Whereas 31% say they are not satisfied with their life.
00:08:43.000 The country, being an American, 15% of millennials say they are proud to be an American.
00:08:49.000 15% say they are proud to be an American.
00:08:53.000 As I mentioned, one-third of millennials describe themselves as being LGBTQ, 39%, 39%.
00:09:02.000 It's three times the proportion identified among the combined older adults in the generation.
00:09:09.000 This is the gayest generation in American history. 1.00
00:09:12.000 And that's not a slur, by the way.
00:09:14.000 It's not a slander.
00:09:14.000 It's just the way it is.
00:09:16.000 Someone's going to say, oh, that's a pejorative. 0.72
00:09:19.000 They're the gayest generation in American history. 1.00
00:09:21.000 It's what the study says.
00:09:23.000 How about capitalism?
00:09:24.000 Now, this is actually not awful, I guess.
00:09:28.000 Well, that's actually really bad.
00:09:29.000 But in 2017, 44% say they preferred socialism to communism.
00:09:37.000 That's 2017.
00:09:40.000 2018, 49% say they preserve socialism and communism.
00:09:44.000 This one, 48.
00:09:45.000 So it went down a point.
00:09:47.000 Four out of 10 young adults, according to this study, say they are liberal on social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage, while three out of 10 say they hold a conservative view on those matters.
00:09:59.000 Specifically, the study shows that people 18 to 37 are less likely than their elders to feel proud to be an American, believe in and obey the United States Constitution, express a personal willingness to die and protect for our freedoms, accept America's enemies as their enemies, join the military to defend the nation if called upon to do so, and consider themselves to be extremely or very patriotic.
00:10:22.000 Ideology and politics, reactions to political terminology.
00:10:28.000 37% have a negative view of the United States of America.
00:10:33.000 29% have a negative view of conservatives.
00:10:38.000 Millennials have a higher positive viewpoint of socialism, the term socialism, than conservatives.
00:10:47.000 20% of millennials say climate change and global warming is the top issue.
00:10:51.000 20% say that racial and ethnic discrimination is the top issue.
00:10:56.000 And 10% say discrimination regarding sexual orientation or gender identity.
00:11:01.000 27% say they do not associate with any religious faith or tradition. 0.98
00:11:08.000 It is the least Christian, least godly generation in American history, which is why they're so miserable. 1.00
00:11:16.000 31% have a neutral view of atheism. 0.76
00:11:20.000 In fact, this generation, millennials, have a more positive view of atheism than Jesus Christ and the Bible.
00:11:30.000 Millennials have guarded trust towards Christian pastors.
00:11:34.000 How can you blame them when you see the pastors, most pastors in America?
00:11:38.000 Not the pastors we deal with at Turning Point Faith.
00:11:40.000 They're amazing.
00:11:42.000 Negative view ratio towards Christian pastors.
00:11:47.000 We're going to keep diving into this.
00:11:48.000 I think it's super interesting, and we're going to answer the question, why?
00:11:52.000 The answer is super obvious.
00:11:54.000 It's the most college-educated generation in American history, the least married, least likely to own property, the least godly, the most oppressed, and the most miserable. 0.58
00:12:03.000 Maybe some of those things can explain it.
00:12:07.000 I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
00:12:12.000 You could stop imagining because it's a reality.
00:12:15.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.
00:12:21.000 Why?
00:12:21.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their businesses and robbing you of the quality and flavor that you deserve.
00:12:27.000 That's why Good Ranchers is here. 0.93
00:12:28.000 They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.

00:14:10.000 Arizona Christian University did a study with millennials.
00:14:13.000 Now, I don't know, look, I'm going to be very clear.
00:14:15.000 I find it very hard to believe that 40% of millennials are gay.
00:14:18.000 Okay, I just find that really hard to believe.
00:14:20.000 Let's pretend it's half right.
00:14:22.000 20%?
00:14:23.000 10%?
00:14:25.000 10% would be extraordinary, by the way.
00:14:27.000 I think that one Gen Z one showed one in five.
00:14:30.000 Is that right?
00:14:30.000 That's what the NBC one said.
00:14:32.000 So some of these numbers could be a little off, but some of these numbers could be rather instructive.
00:14:37.000 63% of millennials lean on personal emotions, past experience, and the advice of others when making moral choices. 0.90
00:14:43.000 No wonder why they're so miserable.
00:14:45.000 They're looking to themselves for all the answers when all the answers are right there for you.
00:14:48.000 There's been a lot of scholarship done before you were born.
00:14:51.000 You're not the most important thing in the world.
00:14:53.000 This is the amazing one.
00:14:55.000 Millennials are half as likely as adults to say that life is sacred.
00:15:02.000 Millennials do not have as much respect for human beings as adults do from other generations.
00:15:09.000 Millennials are significantly less likely to believe that God is the basis of truth, to believe the Bible is a reliable source of moral guidance, to say that they have a unique purpose from God.
00:15:23.000 They do not accept the idea of original sin, which I've been saying at our show for quite some time.
00:15:28.000 They do not believe that you should try to avoid sin.
00:15:32.000 They do not accept the Bible as the inerrant word of God.
00:15:34.000 This is like 60, 70% of millennials, by the way.
00:15:37.000 They do not pray during a typical week.
00:15:39.000 They do not believe that Satan is real and influential.
00:15:43.000 And they do not define success as consistent obedience to God.
00:15:46.000 They're less likely than prior generations.
00:15:49.000 Millennials are twice as likely to say that people they always respect are ones who hold the same religious political views as they do.
00:15:57.000 So it's becoming this kind of self-radicalization circle.
00:16:02.000 Now, amazingly, before every baby boomer starts to lecture how awful millennials are, do you know, according to this, only 50% of boomers think human life is sacred, or 19% think that human life is sacred?
00:16:16.000 19%.
00:16:18.000 Unbelievable.
00:16:19.000 45% of millennials think that God is really involved in their life, 57% of boomers.
00:16:25.000 The faith gap between millennials and the two earlier generations is the widest intergenerational difference identified at any time in the last seven decades.
00:16:35.000 So who do millennials trust?
00:16:38.000 Well, here is where it all comes through.
00:16:42.000 Millennials trust their parents.
00:16:44.000 So obviously their parents have been doing a good job, have not been doing a good job of passing down their values.
00:16:48.000 They trust their friends.
00:16:49.000 That's a bad idea.
00:16:51.000 They trust college professors the third most.
00:16:55.000 That college professors have a profound impact on their worldview.
00:17:02.000 College professors, 27% always, or almost always, and 39% sometimes have a profound impact on how a millennial views the world.
00:17:13.000 So you put this together.
00:17:15.000 Again, I find it very hard to believe that 40% of these millennials identify as gay, lesbian, LGBT.
00:17:21.000 I find that very hard to believe.
00:17:23.000 Three out of four millennials say that they are anxious, depressed, or fearful every day.
00:17:29.000 And only one-third of millennials say they believe in God.
00:17:34.000 One-third.
00:17:35.000 Yes, there is a direct correlation here.
00:17:38.000 There's a God-sized hole in your heart.
00:17:40.000 When you start to rebel against it, what are you going to fill it with?
00:17:42.000 Well, they're the most drug-addicted generation in American history, the most suicidal, the most miserable, least directed, least purposeful, least married.
00:17:52.000 And if you have a millennial in your life and you're a parent or grandparent, you got to take time out and say, man, we've done something terribly wrong here.
00:18:00.000 Not to mention the socioeconomic political circumstances you've been handing down, we've been handing down to younger generations.
00:18:06.000 Indebtedness, crime, sexual anarchy, all these different sorts of things.
00:18:13.000 And for the millennials out there that are listening to this or the young people, you can make your life better.
00:18:18.000 You can make a choice.
00:18:19.000 You have a choice.
00:18:21.000 Let me say that again.
00:18:22.000 You have a choice every day to wake up and to renew your mind, as it says in the scriptures, to go pursue purpose, meaning, and truth.
00:18:32.000 Philippians 4:8.
00:18:34.000 Whatever is true, whatever is good, whatever is noble, whatever is beautiful, think on those things.
00:18:41.000 It's a beautiful piece of scripture.
00:18:43.000 Make no mistake, as we have, as Nietzsche said, God is dead.
00:18:48.000 He was forecasting the downfall of the West.
00:18:52.000 He saw something.
00:18:53.000 He said the West was going to fall apart if we destroy God.
00:18:58.000 And he was right.
00:19:01.000 When did we decide to stop upholding free speech as a basic right?
00:19:05.000 What's playing out right now at so many big tech companies and social media sites set a very dangerous precedent?
00:19:12.000 Look, it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.
00:19:15.000 Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.
00:19:19.000 Sadly, the big tech oligarchs and their monopoly has instead opted for silencing people and censorship.
00:19:26.000 To fight back against big tech's control of the internet, I use ExpressVPN.
00:19:31.000 Ever wondered how free-to-access tech giants make all their money?
00:19:35.000 Well, by tracking your searches, they sell you.
00:19:38.000 They build a profile on you and they sell your sensitive data.
00:19:42.000 When you use ExpressVPN and their wonderful app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.
00:19:52.000 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and to sell to advertisers.
00:19:56.000 What's more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cyber criminals.
00:20:05.000 What I like most is how easy it is to use.
00:20:07.000 It takes just one click to protect all your devices.
00:20:10.000 That's why ExpressVPN is rated number one by CNET.
00:20:14.000 So let's stop allowing big tech to revoke our rights to free speech.
00:20:18.000 Why not revoke their right to your data instead?
00:20:22.000 Secure your internet with the VPN that I trust, the only VPN that I use.
00:20:26.000 Visit expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:20:30.000 That's expresvpn.com slash Charlie to get three extra months free with my exclusive link.

00:20:44.000 With us now is the foremost expert on China.
00:20:49.000 He's terrific.
00:20:50.000 He is the author of the great U.S.-China tech war. 0.89
00:20:54.000 And it is Gordon Chang.
00:20:56.000 And Gordon, are you with us now?
00:20:58.000 I am, Charlie, and thank you so much.
00:21:00.000 You bet.
00:21:01.000 You do a wonderful job and to talk about our enemy, China. 0.98
00:21:05.000 And you have been on the cutting edge of this for quite some time.
00:21:08.000 So let's talk about this breaking news here.
00:21:11.000 China war games with the United States targets in secret desert site.
00:21:15.000 What is going on with the Chinese Communist Party militarily right now?
00:21:18.000 It seems like they're ramping up.
00:21:20.000 And I'm not really sure what we're doing domestically militarily.
00:21:23.000 That's a separate issue.
00:21:24.000 So give us the insight.
00:21:25.000 Give us the breaking news of what's happening from the Chinese Communist Party militarily.
00:21:30.000 The breaking news is that satellite imagery has seen an aircraft carrier and a destroyer, a replica in China's Xinjiang in the northwest part of the country used for target practice.
00:21:42.000 This has occurred before where China has built replicas of U.S. Navy ships.
00:21:47.000 And so to a certain extent, this is Groundhog Day, but the American people are starting to pay attention.
00:21:53.000 And that is what is the news.
00:21:55.000 And the broader context, Charlie, is that China's involved in the perhaps the world's fastest military buildup, certainly the fastest since the Third Reich.
00:22:05.000 And we know from history that when militant regimes build up their militaries like this, they always use them in acts of aggression.
00:22:14.000 That's exactly true.
00:22:15.000 Do you anticipate China making a move towards Taiwan in the coming months?
00:22:19.000 It sure seems that that's what some of the rumblings and intelligence is showing.
00:22:24.000 It could be coming months.
00:22:25.000 It could be after the Olympics, which start in February of next year, or it could be India, could be Japan, could be any other country that borders China, because we know that China believes that it should be much larger than it is today.
00:22:39.000 And in fact, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has been hinting that he should be ruling the world.
00:22:44.000 Chinese officials since 2018 have been saying that the moon and Mars should be considered sovereign Chinese territory.
00:22:51.000 This is the most ambitious regime in history.
00:22:56.000 It sure seems that way.
00:22:57.000 So, but what is the United States doing to stop them?
00:23:01.000 It seems very little.
00:23:02.000 We have Mark Milley that gives heads up to the Chinese Communist Party military in case there might be some sort of military strike.
00:23:09.000 It seems that we have an appeasement strategy with China. 0.93
00:23:12.000 And meanwhile, they're conducting combat readiness patrols in the Taiwan Straits.
00:23:17.000 And I agree with you on the Olympics.
00:23:19.000 People forget that Putin, after the Sochi Olympics, I think back in when was that?
00:23:24.000 That was like 2014, I think.
00:23:26.000 Yeah.
00:23:27.000 He did something like that.
00:23:28.000 In Crimea right afterwards, if I remember correctly, there was a correlation with that.
00:23:31.000 He wanted that to pass.
00:23:33.000 And then he, if I'm not mistaken, is that right?
00:23:35.000 You are absolutely correct about that.
00:23:38.000 Russia seized Crimea in 2014.
00:23:40.000 And then immediately after that, started to pressure the Donbass, which is eastern Ukraine.
00:23:45.000 So they were redrawing the map of Europe by force after the Olympics.
00:23:50.000 China could very well do the same thing.
00:23:52.000 Right now, Beijing is just unbelievably aggressive.
00:23:57.000 And we also know that inside there have been internal problems, not only at the top of the Communist Party, but there are all sorts of crises.
00:24:04.000 So the country is on the boil.
00:24:06.000 And this means that something is probably going to happen.
00:24:10.000 And we, I think in Washington, as you point out, we don't have an appreciation of that.
00:24:15.000 So I think we could be very well taken by surprise because we've got a military leadership and we've got a political leadership that fundamentally misunderstands China.
00:24:26.000 So what is the proper way to understand them?
00:24:28.000 They have internationalist ambitions.
00:24:30.000 You said it's the most ambitious regime we've seen.
00:24:32.000 Belt and Road Initiative, the Confucius Institutes, hacking of the cyber grid, building of islands in the South China Sea, not to mention the manufacturing of the virus allegedly that came from a laboratory, which I think is the greatest open joke.
00:24:45.000 We almost know certainly it came from a laboratory.
00:24:47.000 Whether it was deployed intentionally or not, we don't know.
00:24:50.000 What is the proper way to view this regime?
00:24:52.000 Because we hear from some people in the business elite and kind of the metropolitan crew here in America.
00:24:57.000 They're our friends, there are allies.
00:24:59.000 We need to endlessly trade with them.
00:25:01.000 What is the proper position towards China?
00:25:04.000 We should consider them an enemy.
00:25:07.000 They're more than just an adversary, certainly more than a competitor that Biden talks about.
00:25:13.000 And we should remember that they will employ the most malicious, murderous tactics available.
00:25:19.000 You know, you mentioned coronavirus.
00:25:21.000 Well, one thing we do know, Charlie, and that is that China took steps in the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 to deliberately spread this disease beyond China's borders. 0.94
00:25:32.000 They lied about contagiousness.
00:25:34.000 They forced countries to take arrivals from China while they were locking down their own country. 0.56
00:25:40.000 You put those two things together.
00:25:42.000 This means that those 5,034,000 deaths outside of China, that's murder.
00:25:50.000 Well, I mean, I completely agree.
00:25:52.000 So can you talk a little bit about how China has taken a different approach in the Soviet Union?
00:25:58.000 The Soviet Union was largely walled off economically.
00:26:01.000 They still had some obvious internationalist goals and ambitions, whether it be in Rhodesia or in Cuba or Afghanistan.
00:26:07.000 But China seem to have learned from the Soviet Union where they want to actually infiltrate the actual DNA of the American economy from Wall Street elites to Hollywood to athletics, which makes it really hard for us to actually be able to build a domestic coalition against them. 0.91
00:26:27.000 Can you talk a little bit about that?
00:26:29.000 No, you're absolutely right.
00:26:30.000 China has tried to subvert every institution. 0.98
00:26:33.000 And we're not talking just about governments.
00:26:35.000 We're talking about businesses, universities, NGOs, all sorts of institutions.
00:26:42.000 Yes.
00:26:42.000 And Beijing has devoted enormous amounts of money and resources to this.
00:26:47.000 Remember that the first time that they contacted Eric Squalwell was not when he was sitting on the House Intelligence Committee, where, of course, he'd be a value to Beijing.
00:26:55.000 They first contacted him when he was on the city council of Dublin City, California.
00:27:01.000 So that means that there must be hundreds, thousands of contacts that China's been making at a very low level on the hope that the individuals that they're courting will someday be powerful.
00:27:14.000 And of course, in the case of Swalwell, they were very successful because he became successful.
00:27:19.000 And that means that our society from top to bottom has been penetrated.
00:27:24.000 Well, and Swalwell is never held to justice for what he did, allegedly sleeping with Fang Fang.
00:27:30.000 I think that's pretty well.
00:27:32.000 That's as well known as the laboratory virus leak.
00:27:35.000 So now, Gordon, in the five minutes we have remaining, I want to shift to more of an optimistic part of this story.
00:27:41.000 Optimistic might be a little too ambitious, but I'm old enough to remember you wrote a book that said the coming collapse of China.
00:27:48.000 Can you talk a little bit about that?
00:27:50.000 Where is this regime vulnerable?
00:27:53.000 Because every regime has weak spots.
00:27:55.000 Where are they the weakest?
00:27:57.000 Where are they the most paranoid?
00:27:59.000 Right now, the weakest is their debt crisis.
00:28:03.000 They got through the 2008 downturn with this massive spending spree.
00:28:07.000 Well, they're now starting to have to pay for it.
00:28:10.000 And we see this with the crisis regarding Evergrand, the property developer, which by itself owes $305 billion, staggering amount.
00:28:19.000 We have seen defaults and misbondements.
00:28:23.000 This is, I think, their number one weakness.
00:28:25.000 But they got a lot of others.
00:28:27.000 For instance, they've got accelerated COVID-19 outbreaks.
00:28:31.000 They can't control that.
00:28:32.000 They've got worsening food shortages, an environment that is at the point of exhaustion.
00:28:38.000 The list goes on.
00:28:39.000 And the reason why all these things are important and relevant to us is that I believe that Chinese leaders are seeing a closing window of opportunity, that if they don't move now, they will not be able to in the future because they won't be strong enough. 0.55
00:28:55.000 Remember, they are at the edge of the steepest demographic decline in history in the absence of war or disease.
00:29:02.000 They will lose about half their population in 45 years, according to Chinese demographers.
00:29:08.000 They will lose two-thirds of their population by the end of this century.
00:29:12.000 They've got to move quickly.
00:29:14.000 And that means we're not prepared right now because we're not thinking about China in the proper terms.
00:29:20.000 So your argument is that this is more of an immediate threat than a long-term threat, which kind of bucks the consensus among some of the smart people that say, oh, yeah, China's going to be for your grandchildren to deal about in 60 years. 0.74
00:29:31.000 You're saying, no, it's the opposite because of one-child policy and because of population control that was employed in the 60s and 70s.
00:29:39.000 You're talking a generational demographic cliff that makes the baby boomers in America look like child's play, right? 1.00
00:29:46.000 Is that correct?
00:29:47.000 I believe that the risk is now, and we need to get through this risk in the next few years.
00:29:52.000 We got a Pentagon, for instance, Charlie.
00:29:54.000 And this is an important point you raised.
00:29:56.000 They are seeing the maximum China threat starting in about 2027, going through about 2035.
00:30:03.000 And so therefore, they want to take planes, the older planes, and take them out of the inventory so they can pay for modernization for the next generation of weapons.
00:30:13.000 I think that's wrong.
00:30:14.000 They're going to need every A-10, every KC-10, every old plane that they have.
00:30:19.000 And that's true for the Navy as well.
00:30:22.000 They're not planning for, I think, the period of maximum vulnerability right now.
00:30:26.000 And that means we can be taken by surprise and they can beat us.
00:30:31.000 We're a much stronger nation, but we're not defending ourselves.
00:30:34.000 We're not looking at the Chinese regime in the right way.
00:30:37.000 Well, and then we gave up Afghanistan completely, $85 billion of weaponry to the Taliban, that largely that probably just kind of got handed over to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:30:47.000 So what action steps must we take to decouple ourselves from China? 1.00
00:30:51.000 Because I'm sure a lot of Americans don't have an appetite for war, but I think the absence of conflict could actually draw us into war.
00:30:59.000 Yeah, one of the things I think we need to do is cut investment into China.
00:31:03.000 We need to stop technical cooperation agreements.
00:31:06.000 I mean, we taught Chinese researchers how to manipulate coronaviruses to make them more dangerous to humanity. 1.00
00:31:12.000 And we're still cooperating with biotech labs in China that are linked to the military.
00:31:18.000 We need to end all of that.
00:31:20.000 We have to stop China from buying our tech companies.
00:31:23.000 I think we need to stop buying a lot of stuff from China.
00:31:26.000 I'd like to see a complete cutoff of trade because we should not be giving them, you know, we should cut off the blood supply to those who mean us harm.
00:31:35.000 Well, I mean, that's the least that we should do.
00:31:38.000 And the tension point, Gordon, where I think we have to focus our attention is the rich people in America.
00:31:46.000 They have become infinitely wealthy off of these public-private partnerships designed by McKinsey, whether it be in Hollywood or the National Basketball Association, Goldman Sachs, Walmart.
00:31:57.000 You're drawing the biggest companies in America and most of the tech companies as well.
00:32:02.000 Facebook is the only one that has really kind of not played on the Chinese turf as of yet because they're just not welcome there.
00:32:08.000 That you have the wealthiest people in America that they really want to keep on getting endlessly powerful and rich off.
00:32:15.000 That I think that has to be one of our focal points.
00:32:18.000 And it has to be grassroots, has to be bottom-up.
00:32:20.000 Absolutely.
00:32:21.000 We've got a political class, a business elite that are basically supporting the communist China over the American democracy.
00:32:29.000 So this is what I think you said.
00:32:31.000 Thumbs up.
00:32:32.000 I love it.
00:32:33.000 Well, Gordon, thank you.
00:32:34.000 We have to have you back soon.
00:32:35.000 And you are the author of the great U.S.-China Tech War. 0.85

00:32:40.000 Thanks so much, Gordon.

00:32:42.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:32:45.000 Hey, everybody.
00:32:46.000 Lately, I've been sounding the alarm about why we all need to be well prepared in case the worst happens anytime soon.
00:32:52.000 No, I'm not an alarmist.
00:32:53.000 I'm a realist.
00:32:54.000 Charlie Kirk here, I've been personally preparing myself and my family.
00:32:58.000 I hope you have too.
00:32:59.000 Because the way things are going, it's not looking good.

00:33:50.000 We actually have one more campus tour coming up at University of Arizona for our exposing critical racism theory tour.
00:33:57.000 And I think we've had a lot of success.
00:33:58.000 Actually, I know we've had a lot of success, packing out auditoriums, thousands and thousands and thousands of people being coming in attendance, not to mention the millions of people online that are being reached.
00:34:11.000 And I'm asked often by the apparatchiks on the left where they say, Charlie, what is CRT in practice?
00:34:19.000 Let me show you an example of CRT in practice.
00:34:19.000 Okay, it's bad.
00:34:22.000 Let me show you where our country is headed.
00:34:25.000 Foxbusiness.com, one of the world's largest investment firms, will need permission to hire white men. 0.78
00:34:33.000 Leaders at one of the largest investment firms in the world, State Street Global Advisors, will need to ask permission to hire white men as it rolls out a diversity hiring initiative.
00:34:44.000 This is now front and center at State Street.
00:34:46.000 It's on every senior executive scorecard.
00:34:49.000 All of our leaders have to demonstrate at their annual appraisals what they have done to improve female representation and the number of colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds.
00:34:58.000 Not competency, not honesty, not integrity, not commitment to the company.
00:35:04.000 No, no, no, no.
00:35:05.000 Skin color and your chromosomal makeup.
00:35:09.000 It's kind of weird.
00:35:10.000 I thought females are just a construct. 1.00
00:35:12.000 So why care about that?
00:35:14.000 I thought gender is fluid. 1.00
00:35:16.000 The company aims to triple the number of black, Asian, and other minority.
00:35:20.000 Hold on, let's stop. 0.59
00:35:21.000 Asians are far richer than white people in America. 0.97
00:35:24.000 Asians are significantly wealthier. 0.73
00:35:26.000 So why do you have to try to triple the number of Asians? 0.98
00:35:29.000 Trying to help the people that are already rich.
00:35:31.000 Do you see how dangerous tribalism is? 0.97
00:35:33.000 It's honestly sloppy and it's disgusting. 0.99
00:35:36.000 And it's anti-white, of course it is. 0.97
00:35:38.000 If executives don't meet their target, they will face lowered bonuses.
00:35:42.000 The firm will still hire white men.
00:35:43.000 Don't worry, McNicholas said.
00:35:45.000 But recruiters required to show that women and minority applicants were interviewed by the panels.
00:35:50.000 The company is pledging to, quote, hold ourselves accountable for strengthening black and Latinx-owned businesses.
00:35:55.000 Oh, it says it's Boston right here.
00:35:56.000 State Street was founded in 1792 and currently has 40,000 employees over 30 offices nationwide.
00:36:04.000 State Street previously made headlines in 2017 where it commissioned the statue of a girl staring down Wall Street charging bull sculpture for International Women's Day.
00:36:12.000 Needless to say, if you use State Street, you should probably stop using them.
00:36:17.000 Recruiters will now have to establish panels of four to five employees, including a woman and a person with a minority background.
00:36:23.000 So you want to say, Charlie, what is the, what's wrong with critical race theory?
00:36:27.000 How about this?
00:36:28.000 You need permission to hire white men now. 0.97
00:36:30.000 If you are a white man out there, State Street is saying, we don't want you. 0.99
00:36:34.000 If you are a white person listening to what I'm saying right now, sure looks increasingly like society is trying to design measures and protocol and hiring practices and college admissions to discriminate against you.
00:36:50.000 And that's exactly what Ibram X. Kendi has said.
00:36:53.000 Discrimination today to try to atone for discrimination yesterday.
