00:00:00.000Today in the Charlie Kirk show, why is it that the people in charge of our country are so adamant to continue to lead us into economic crisis?
00:00:09.000We talk about the philosophical reason this is happening and more.

00:01:23.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:32.000We are traveling right now in beautiful Southern California.
00:01:35.000I just gave a speech to the conservative group at the Southern Baptist Convention, and we are here now.
00:01:44.000A lot to talk about, a lot to dive into.
00:01:47.000But what is really leading the news today is something that we've been warning about for many months and, quite honestly, many years, which is we are now officially living through an economic catastrophe.
00:02:00.000Now, what really should bother you and worry you is how radical our politics became when our economy was stable.
00:02:08.000When economies are stable and economies are not in free fall, typically your politics get very boring.
00:02:16.000People don't want to change things if wages are going up and people are able to vacation.
00:02:22.000Radical ideas, ideas that otherwise would have seemed untenable, tend to be introduced.
00:02:28.000They tend to be entertained when people start to experience material and economic misery.
00:02:35.000So, the fact that we had these insane ideas of mass wealth confiscation, open borders, the ideas that have permeated the left, we had that all the while the economy was doing very well.
00:02:49.000In fact, the best economy, arguably, in American history that we experienced in 2017, 18, and 19.
00:02:55.000Now, you don't have to like Donald Trump.
00:02:58.000Many of you hate Donald Trump, but his economy was bulletproof.
00:03:02.000It was bulletproof because for all of the criticisms that you might lay against Donald Trump, President Trump did come from a viewpoint where he agreed with the founding fathers and the framers that there are laws of nature and nature's God.
00:03:18.000This colloquially gets called common sense.
00:03:21.000That is a good filler term, by the way.
00:04:25.000He lived in a world that was anchored by the laws of physics, by the laws of mathematics, by the laws of biology.
00:04:32.000Now, mind you, most of you also live in that world.
00:04:36.000Whether you are a carpenter, a mechanic, an accountant, most of our audience, almost all of you, have to live by certain truths.
00:04:49.000Whereas the Democrat Party is ruled by people that don't have to live by those truths.
00:04:54.000Janet Yellen being one of them, Jerome Powell being another.
00:04:58.000They don't have to live by the laws of nature and nature is God.
00:05:00.000Money is nothing more than a construct.
00:05:02.000Gender is nothing more than a colonialist oppression tradition.
00:05:07.000One of the reasons why Donald Trump was able to create such a booming economy is: yes, of course, he was a businessman, but he also knew bad ideas when he saw them.
00:05:17.000Like, wait a second, we can create money out of thin air?
00:05:24.000He had what is the word that defines good leaders, prudence.
00:05:28.000I believe Ron DeSantis has prudence as well.
00:05:30.000It comes from a Greek word, which means prudentia.
00:05:34.000Now, what you have right now, though, is a very dangerous combination running the White House.
00:05:40.000You have an arrogant, ignorant, ideological crusade being basically deploying on America, and America is the experiment.
00:05:51.000America right now is the experiment of how far can ideology take you.
00:05:56.000So, ideology, especially if it's rooted in the belief that nature is not stable, will very quickly and rapidly destroy your civilization.
00:06:11.000So, what should concern all of us is that these radical ideas started to get inserted into the zeitgeist, which really is the spirit of the times, when our economy was booming.
00:06:23.000Now that we're getting to an unstable point, I think that we're going to start to see even more radical ideas.
00:06:30.000Our job as conservatives is hopefully take people back to reality and anchor them to truth.
00:06:37.000But we shouldn't be really surprised by this.
00:06:40.000The same Democrat Party and the same left that believes you could pick your own gender because you feel a certain way, they believe that you can chart your own existence based on your own emotional feeling.
00:06:56.000They ignore the laws of nature and the laws of biology.
00:06:59.000Why on earth would they honor the laws of economics?
00:07:46.000It's because Biden and his team, unless Biden, he's obviously just being kind of puppeteered by the people around him.
00:07:53.000They believe that they are the masters of nature.
00:07:57.000How else would you explain giving puberty blockers to a 12-year-old?
00:08:00.000Nature is nothing more than a construct that we can override with technology.
00:08:05.00012-year-old thinks that she is a boy or he is a girl.
00:08:09.000We can override that with our own scientific progress.
00:08:13.000Now, this is one of the things that drives our obsession and our religious fanaticism behind the scientific progress, behind people like Anthony Fauci, that somehow we are going to get godlike powers out of scientific exploration.
00:08:34.000You see, in order to be a conservative, you must come after these things with some form of humility.
00:08:42.000You must recognize that people from every corner of the country have the same needs, wants, and desires, and that even though they might have different religious views, they might have different cultural tendencies, they might have different diets, they all need and want the same thing.
00:08:54.000And those laws are applicable to every civilization, every people, at every time.
00:09:01.000Put simply, we believe in the unchanging natural law, and we don't want to try to change it because not only if you don't recognize it, that's bad enough.
00:09:09.000But if you try to change it, you will turn your society into turmoil.
00:09:17.000More people have died in the last 100 years.
00:09:20.000Over 100 million people have died from intentional murder, starvation, gulags, or concentration camps because of a small group of people that believe that they could declare war on nature.
00:09:42.000This is, again, what drives me nuts about the transgender argument.
00:09:47.000That be very careful trying to use chemicals to try to destroy the nature of a young child.
00:09:54.000But a part of nature that gets glossed over, a part of nature that doesn't always get studied closely enough, is what is the nature when it comes to economics.
00:10:07.000Whether it's in Venezuela, 12th century medieval Rome, Persia, the Chinese Empire, the Indus River Valley, the laws of economics never change.
00:10:22.000And they're so simple, but it requires a dose of humility that our arrogant rulers refuse to recognize.
00:10:33.000I want to tell you guys about Legacy Box.
00:10:35.000Legacy Box is the simplest and safest way to digitize all your aging videotapes, camcorder tapes, and more.
00:10:41.000Look, it was a wake-up call for me when one of our team members' homes burned down.
00:10:44.000I was like, whoa, all this family memories gone, vanished, vaporized.
00:10:49.000Where are your family's old film reels?
00:10:52.000It's going to be fire season in parts of California soon.
00:11:01.000How are you going to pass them down to your kids?
00:11:03.000Well, here's how Legacy Box works: you put them all in a box, you send it off to them, they barcode it, they save it forever, and it goes in the cloud, and you're able to make your legacy permanent and preserved.
00:11:15.000What memories do you wish you could relive or pass down to your kids?
00:11:19.000Look, each kit includes everything you need to safely pack and send your recorded moments.
00:11:24.000Each item is hand-digitized by a hand by 200 trained technicians right here in America.
00:11:28.000So experience the joy and excitement of rewatching your wedding day, baby's first steps, or Christmas mornings.
00:11:59.000So when you deal with a side that does not recognize natural reality, that does not believe that there's an overarching design to our existence, you, of course, are talking about people that want to be God themselves.
00:12:32.000However, the Founding Fathers were exceptional and they were brilliant.
00:12:36.000You see, the Founding Fathers, after they won the war against the British Empire, very well could have made the Washingtonian, Hamiltonian, Jacksonian monarchy.
00:12:47.000They could have subdivided America and made every state its own kind of feudal territory because that's all humans knew before then.
00:12:57.000Before the Founding Fathers broke away and won against Great Britain, won against King George, the people of America, they wouldn't have known any different.
00:13:08.000Now, there was a grassroots desire for self-government, thanks to the strong biblical teachings of Wesley and Mayhew, Jonathan Mayhew and Jonathan Edwards and Whitfield, thanks to the colonial preachers that laid the foundation, Roger Williams as well, that started the foundation for what ended up being the revival of self-government, the breakthrough in time, the 4,000-year leap forward.
00:13:37.000And because of all of that, the Founding Fathers that decided to go a different way, they might have had many shortcomings, but they didn't have a shortcoming where they thought they were God.
00:13:52.000I can't say the same about our current president or this current regime.
00:13:56.000Now, do I think Joe Biden thinks that he is God?
00:14:24.000They almost want to exert their hierarchy, their autonomy, to be able to crush an unborn child, to castrate a 12-year-old using puberty blockers, to create trillions of dollars out of thin air.
00:14:40.000It's almost there is a spite that there is an existence they didn't design that they have to be subservient to.
00:15:29.000That profit is the motivation for how you get better products and better services.
00:15:36.000Look, as you know, our friend Mike Lindell has amazing passion and especially has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
00:15:43.000He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.

00:16:22.000The strategy for Joe Biden right now is to just tell people you actually aren't suffering.
00:16:31.000You know, the old Soviet motto is that there is no famine.
00:16:34.000And if you disagree, maybe you shouldn't be around.
00:16:37.000The way the Soviets used to solve famine is instead of trying to grow more crops, because they took land away from what was called the kulaks, anybody that earned more than an acre of land was considered to be a kulak.
00:16:49.000They considered them to be a wealthy or prosperous peasant.
00:17:34.000Yeah, we're changing people's lives by making them go bankrupt and destroying their purchasing power and the looming credit card debt crisis.
00:17:43.000We're about to see a multi-dimensional debt crisis that is just going to maybe break the back of the American economy.
00:18:20.000And because of the facts, this year, we're delivering the biggest drop in deficit in the history of the United States of America.
00:18:31.000Look, even CNN says this is a total lie by Daniel Dale.
00:18:35.000Fact check deconstructing Biden's claim that I reduced the federal deficit.
00:18:39.000Joe Biden has been taking credit for reducing the federal budget deficit, the annual gap between the money the government takes in and the money the government spends.
00:18:46.000A smaller deficit before, but bigger deficit than expected.
00:18:49.000Basically, because of all this insane spending, the deficit spiked, and now it's still massive.
00:18:56.000It's still trillions of dollars, even though the deficit in 2020 was $3.1 trillion.
00:20:02.000Biden's claim is almost bizarre world, according to Mark Goldween of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
00:20:09.000CNN Fact Checker said, Dale noted that the federal deficit had indeed declined.
00:20:14.000However, the deficit decline was originally expected to be even larger than the figure Biden expected.
00:20:20.000Dale added that the economic experts, quote, still scoffed at the idea that Biden had personally been responsible for having reduced the deficit.
00:20:28.000In fact, one advocate of deficit reduction, Mark Goldween, for the committee for the responsible federal budget, told me that this claim is almost a reversal of reality.
00:20:55.000If you want to know one of the main reasons why I'm such an opponent of college, Brown, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, is they do not come from the admission, the humility, the humble stance that there is a nature and you must not try and disrupt it.
00:22:14.000But when you talk about politics, about long-drawn-out processes of public policy development, intentions mean nothing because good intentions could end up getting you the same thing as someone that has bad intentions.
00:23:09.000No, we're not getting any help on the goods sector.
00:23:12.000Goods, inflation, the producer level up 1.4%, services up 0.4%.
00:23:16.000The whole idea of inflation eventually getting back under control is that you would have this switch from goods inflation moderating over into the service sector, and that is not happening.
00:24:18.000And then the question obviously becomes how much that could be passed along to consumers and whether or not we're at some form of a breaking point of consumers rejecting these higher prices and businesses unable to pass them along and that would hit profits.
00:24:31.000Ducey had a back and forth with the press secretary of the United States, Terry Jean-Pierre, whatever her name is, Karine Jean-Pierre, not a very smart person.
00:24:40.000I hope she finds a career in something meaningful.
00:24:42.000She's in the wrong line of work, but she is the communication arm of the executive branch of the federal government.
00:24:47.000So I really have very little patience for her.
00:24:50.000She's the White House press secretary.
00:24:54.000So as you say that Americans are well positioned to weather this stock market decline, what is the president's message to somebody who might want to retire, but their 401k is getting wiped out?
00:25:06.000So we know that higher prices are having a real effect on people's lives.
00:26:48.000Every poll shows that, including the Quinnipiac poll.
00:26:51.000Joe Biden's overall approval rating is 33%, one of the lowest in the history of presidential approval rating, makes Nixon look like the star at prom.
00:27:04.00024% of Hispanic voters, 49% of black voters said they approve of Biden's work.
00:27:10.000The entire Democrat Party is collapsing in front of your eyes.
00:27:14.000And there is a Democrat I want to thank, though, right now.
00:27:18.000Believe it or not, all of this would be worse if it wasn't for Joe Manchin.
00:27:23.000I know that's hard to believe, as bad as it is, but all of this would be significantly worse if it wasn't for Joe Manchin holding the line on the filibuster.
00:27:34.000If they were able to pass HR1 and the $6 trillion build back better whatever bill, I mean, we would have almost no path towards reconciliation or any path towards economic recovery.
00:27:47.000Joe Biden created and is overseeing one of the most uncertain economic climates in the history of the country.
00:27:59.000From cringing at the pump to getting an eye-popping check at your favorite restaurant, inflation is hitting us all where it hurts.
00:28:05.000Inflation is a thief and it really does hurt.
00:29:32.000What I mean by these shows, the kind of show we have to do today, it's just really hard to watch because it's so self-inflicted, but it's necessary.
00:29:38.000And so thank you for bearing with us through this as we talk about the bear market.
00:29:42.000I don't like talking about how markets are crashing.
00:29:45.000SP 500 slides deeper into bear market.
00:29:50.000I don't like talking about how inflation is happening, but it's necessary.
00:29:53.000And it's just very simple when you have the amount of dollar bills in the economy that has increased preemptively and the economy cratering.
00:30:03.000There is no other way to fix it than you raise interest rates and you have to grin and bear a recession for multiple years.
00:30:10.000Democrats are going to have to own this at the ballot box.
00:30:14.000They are going to get obliterated in November.
00:30:16.000If we have fair and free elections, if we're able to keep a transparent eye on ballot trafficking, which we are going to talk about that maybe in the next day or two, kind of some of the comments around the movie 2,000 Mules.
00:30:33.000People are poorer, but they have more dollar bills.
00:30:47.000You have more dollar bills that don't get you as much stuff.
00:30:50.000That is the worst of all economic combinations.
00:30:55.000I remember another situation that I was sitting in of a man that was running for office in California, and I told him, I said, inflation is coming.
00:31:04.000We are going to see 12 to 15% inflation.
00:31:58.000I hope that you email me freedom at charliekirk.com and say, Charlie, you are off base.
00:32:03.000We have a tendency to be right about this stuff because we live in reality and we understand the nature of economics.
00:32:09.000You're going to see unemployment go up, up, up.
00:32:13.000Why would, hold on a second, let's just think about this rationally.
00:32:17.000If companies are now selling less product and everything costs more, why would they continue to have unnecessary HR managers?
00:32:25.000Why would they continue to have duplicative employees?
00:32:28.000No, they are going to purge their ranks of unnecessary workers.
00:32:32.000And all of this kind of lazy stimulus check worker environment that some of you experiencing, not calling all workers lazy, but there has definitely been an arrogance that has set in, especially with unable to find work, can't find workers.
00:32:47.000Anyone that runs a business is dealing with it right now.
00:32:49.000It's going to change almost overnight.
00:32:52.000Play cut 49, Ducey and the woman that shouldn't be press secretary going back and forth.
00:33:33.000Your administration, your regime did this.
00:33:35.000With regulation, lack of energy exploration, destruction of Keystone XL pipeline, the war in American energy and gas, your trillions of dollars of new spending that you've authorized.
