Learn English with Charlie Kirkshek. In this episode, Charlie talks about his recent speech in Maine, his love for the state, and what it means to be a Mainer. He also talks about immigration, college, and women in sports.
00:00:46.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:55.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000And it is in an extraordinary state with amazing people that, honestly, the ancestry of this state is uniquely American.
00:01:27.000As you know, going back 100, 150 years ago, this is not an easy state to live in.
00:01:32.000And, you know, they always say that Maine has hard people.
00:01:36.000And I say, I love that Maine has hard people because you, you are tough, you are gritty, and you've built a life here in a way that I just want to let you know that you're not forgotten.
00:01:47.000A lot of you guys say that Maine is the forgotten state, but you're not forgotten.
00:01:51.000And I think part of this is that the rest of the country needs to know that you Maine is not just going to roll over and just become a third world dumping ground, and that the best days for Maine are ahead.
00:02:07.000So I want to talk about a couple of things, then we'll do some questions, and we're going to have some fun.
00:02:13.000The first of which is, as you know, I visit college campus, so you guys don't have to, and there's something very special happening with the youth of this country.
00:02:22.000And Heidi, I love what you were saying.
00:02:24.000Young men in this country are the most conservative they have been in fifty years, and they're only becoming more and more right wing.
00:02:41.000But I'll tell you, young men, they are sick of the toxic feminism that has infected our culture.
00:02:48.000We want to let men be men again in America.
00:02:52.000And one thing I know that is a big sticking point here in this country and the state is the blurring of lines between male and female distinctions.
00:03:03.000No men in female sports, no men in female locker rooms.
00:03:27.000But first, Maine has so many people that, first of all, some of your universities here are very overrated, very expensive, and to the left of Stalingrad.
00:03:40.000And it's so important because the muscular class, those of you that wake up before the sun comes up, and those of you that shower before before work and shower after work, you send your kids to go to K through 12 schools saying, Hey, go to college so that you can get a good job.
00:03:57.000They go to college and they learn to hate the country, hate themselves, believe there is no God, and come back and probably change their gender.
00:04:05.000And you're like, Well, who exactly are you?
00:04:07.000And one of the reasons why Maine has changed so much is that Maine continues to be a hard working, gritty state, but it's increasingly a college educated state that is an upper suburb of New Hampshire and Boston.
00:04:56.000I'm resisting the fact that we finally have mass deportations, or you're resisting the fact that Donald Trump has ended five wars in the last couple of months.
00:05:06.000This college-educated idea pathogen that has infected so many in the state, I think it's the true virus that continues in this country, which starts on our college campus but doesn't stay in our college campus.
00:05:18.000It infects the rest of the entire world.
00:05:20.000And that's where so many people say, but they don't, where has common sense gone?
00:05:24.000You go to college to lose common sense, to get a credential, to go into debt a bunch of money, to borrow money you don't have, to study things that don't matter, to find jobs that don't exist.
00:05:36.000Maine doesn't need more sociology majors.
00:05:39.000Maine doesn't need more people that are studying, as I said earlier, North African lesbian poetry that's not going to make Maine great again.
00:05:51.000We need electricians, we need carpenters, we need welders, we need entrepreneurs, we need police officers, we need lobstermen.
00:06:02.000Enough of the purple haired jihadis that are walking around downtown Portland, like, who are you?
00:06:14.000And you know, people say that's insensitive.
00:06:17.000Just wait for the second part of my discussion, okay?
00:07:40.000And so you're being colonized by foreign ideas, leftism, and then you guys, not in this room, but your leaders, who should all be run out of office, made a traitor's decision to not just be colonized by foreign ideas, but foreigners themselves.
00:08:00.000And here is the part that you all know it's happening.
00:08:03.000You get called mean and nasty names for saying out loud, but there's something wrong with the fact that Maine continues to import people from the third world and calls it progress.
00:09:32.000Understand this, that a homeland is not a hotel.
00:09:37.000This homeland has has to have a connection to your ancestry.
00:09:41.000For those of you where your ancestors fought and died and gave so much for this state, all of a sudden have your leaders give up and be like, well, you know, we're a 98% white state.
00:09:50.000Therefore, we must be racist and we want to bring it down to a 91% white state.
00:10:06.000Oh, wait, so I hope I get this straight.
00:10:08.000you're okay, you elite master of the universe, that calls you racist, you're okay vacationing in Kennebunkport, call Screw you, that's evil actually.
00:11:04.000Why are you living under this coastal left-wing paradigm, which is suicide by immigration?
00:11:12.000And if you don't believe me, then I mean, I'm sure you do, but the media who's covering this, I hope they write this up, because you know what they'll say?
00:11:18.000Charlie Kirk's racist xenophobia, that doesn't work anymore.
00:11:27.000Just calling me a racist doesn't mean I'm going to stop saying it.
00:11:30.000And when you look at what ends up happen happening, the scams that are being run, the pay for phone scams in Lewiston, the drug operations by the Chinese nationals, the Dominicans that are running.
00:11:42.000You say to us, wait, what are we really doing here?
00:11:45.000And it's so clear that they have contempt for you, the native population of Maine, they have contempt for so many of you, and they want to replace you.
00:11:55.000And they're trying to replace you by mass migration.
00:11:57.000And it's time for you to say, hell no, we're not going to do that.
00:12:17.000In fact, Maine used to be a place where you didn't have to lock your doors, right?
00:12:21.000And some people now all of a sudden I hear stories like you have to all of a sudden call a locksmith for the first time in the family's generation, where all of a sudden you sleep a little bit less good at night because people all throughout Bangor are breaking into homes to go pay off their drug debt.
00:12:36.000to go steal stuff so it has a massive increase in crime.
00:12:40.000And then it's a cycle because then what happens?
00:12:42.000Your most precious thing you have in the state is what?
00:13:10.000or they come back changed it's very simple this is not Republican or Democrat you want to create a Maine where a high schooler wants to build a life here and stay here.
00:13:20.000You want to build a Maine where they're not going to graduate high school and flee to go to better opportunity.
00:14:47.000If you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, they can get you out of debt.
00:14:52.000So if you know anybody in your life that might have student loan problems, private student loan problems, check it out right now at yrefi.com.
00:15:19.000And you can't go bring in a foreign population of a war-torn third world country and bring them in and have no, and even worse, have no expectation for assimilation.
00:15:28.000That's the other problem with our immigration problem.
00:15:31.000It's bad enough that we're bringing in people that have third world values and have no idea what's going on in the first world and they just signed up for government benefits like crazy.
00:15:38.000And your governor Mills, by the way, I think is a traitor to this state and should we run out of the governor's mansion?
00:16:13.000The way immigration used to work in this country is we're going to learn the language, we're going to pledge fealty to America, we're going to quote unquote burn the boats, we're not going to send money home.
00:17:55.000And in some ways, you have to just an just analyze this from the outside.
00:17:58.000They are deeply broken because they do not believe in a higher power.
00:18:03.000So their theology, the modern world theology, is that God is just a guess and the worst thing you can do is judge and the worst sin you can commit is being a racist.
00:18:13.000Therefore, if they believe the worst sin you can commit is a racist and they believe that being white itself is a racist, what then do you do religiously?
00:18:21.000You go bring in a bunch of foreigners because you're atoning for your sin.
00:18:24.000And that's exactly what's happening throughout the state.
00:18:26.000You have a bunch of unchurched, godless white liberals that went to college and they have a bunch of money and they're super upset with their life and they're like, how do I find myself in the cosmos?
00:18:36.000I know we're going to import fifty thousand people.
00:18:38.000import 50,000 people from Mogadishu and I'll feel better about it.
00:21:01.000And that is what your country is all about, not just the colony.
00:21:05.000And that's the place I want to be part of.
00:21:07.000And that's why Maine sticks out like a sore thumb on the entire national project in a good way.
00:21:12.000Because I think they've picked a fight with the wrong state.
00:21:15.000And no one's really put this together yet.
00:21:17.000But if you've been here for more than a couple generations, you should be a little bitter that someone that has never been here can just cut in line and get a bunch of government benefits that you pay for, lie about it, scam it, commit crimes, and not report it to the police.
00:21:31.000Because they haven't done any of the work to be here.
00:21:34.000and it's a violation of the social compactness the social contract and so that's where the thought police comes in because they know how powerful what I'm saying is right they know that what I'm saying right now would resonate with like 90 percent of Mayners.
00:21:50.000That's why they have to make sure no one says it.
00:23:16.000We should tell our young people, we should challenge our young people, hey, instead of taking the easy way and getting some dumb finance job in New York City where you can stare at a screen all day long, stay in Maine and be part of a new founding generation to get married and have children.
00:23:30.000Go do something hard and challenging that the history books will remember you as one that reversed this downward trend.
00:23:37.000Because you guys know Maine is in a spiral right now, largely supported by tourism, federal money and a couple big employers, right?
00:23:45.000And you're in that kind of spir spiral, but a generation that says, no, we want to live here and we want to build a future here, but it starts with a complete and total wholesale cultural change.
00:23:57.000I'll close with this, and then we will do some questions.
00:24:00.000The country at large right now is, I think, finally got its mojo back.
00:24:04.000There's a lot of things that we need to do better, a lot of things that I think we're on pace for.
00:24:26.000so there's a lot of good happening but we have to look at this even bigger that there is a concerted effort happening in every western every western country and especially here in Maine to displace the native population make you feel bad about it if you do not cheerlead it every single step of the way silence you if you dare notice it and then you basically have to become the underclass In Deuteronomy 28,
00:24:54.000one of the last things that Moses said before the God's chosen people entered the promised land, he said, be careful who you allow into the nation of Israel, into the promised land.
00:25:03.000land because the foreigners will soon become your masters.
00:25:06.000Everybody, I think every Maynard should commit that verse to memory and have the courage and the conviction to speak out, which is obviously a third world colonization project of this beautiful state.
00:25:21.000I realize there are many choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service and there are new ones popping up all the time.
00:25:28.000There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes freedom is worth fighting for.

00:26:15.000And it's interesting because I was reading a press herald article.
00:26:19.000condemning a candidate for governor for commenting on a Somali refugee turned politician who has said herself that she should be putting Somalia first.
00:26:30.000And I can't help but take a shot at the Press Herald, our competition here in the state.
00:26:35.000But thank you, everybody, for submitting questions as well.
00:26:53.000Well, look, I will say I'm very encouraged that the Trump administration is moving to unseal the grand jury testimony documents, that they're moving to unseal stuff in Florida and in New York.
00:29:22.000The final thing I will say though, the President Trump did say this, which is that I want to see all the information and I think everyone should.
00:29:29.000However, we should be cautious that the people that were in the prior administration might have done some things like the Wall Street Journal piece that we saw of some fake stuff against Donald Trump that could be used against him.
00:29:40.000So I think we should proceed with some caution in that way.
00:29:43.000But honestly, I look at the Epstein story as a fill in of a ruling class of a governing elite that is never held accountable, that has never been prosecuted, and I want to learn as much about it as I possibly can.
00:30:01.000So in your recent podcast with Tucker Carlson, which everybody should go listen to that as well, you were critical of conservatives in this kind of knee-jerk embrace of capitalism, free markets, almost a worship of corporations as if they can do no wrong.
00:30:20.000I thought that was a very enlightened, poignant criticism.
00:30:24.000Are there other things that you think are shibbolists for conservatives that are holding us back?
00:30:29.000Are there other areas where you think conservatives should maybe stop defending certain practices or certain elements of the ideology that have been around since the Reagan era, for example?
00:31:27.000Now, I think though that we as conservatives, we have to understand that what we are at our core is that we want big families and small government.
00:31:37.000And the other side want big government and really small families or no families at all.
00:31:43.000If we do not support a family policy, which is marriage between a man and a woman, pro-life policies against all this trans stuff and make it easier to have kids, then what are we actually as conservatives?
00:31:55.000And I think we need to realize that we have a declining fertility rate.
00:32:00.000I can tell you as someone who's trying my best to reverse the fertility rate here in the West, we have two kids and we're not slowing down.
00:32:07.000Having children is the most important way to brag about your sex life.
00:32:13.000And so I can, I can, I just want to reiterate though that when we're trying to present a future for our children, it's not about making money.
00:32:41.000Being able to pay things for cash is amazing.
00:32:43.000But the most precious thing is to have children.
00:32:46.000And that's why we are here, to have children.
00:32:49.000And so I think we need to talk about that more.
00:32:51.000And the second of which, again, I don't know how much we want to talk about this, but I would say that I think Donald Trump has done a great service on his recalibration of the trade policies, that we need to put American workers first, and shipping jobs overseas through NAFTA or through Chinese trade deals has been a disaster for the people of this country.
00:33:14.000Well, this next question kind of relates to that one.
00:33:18.000Somebody asks, what should a college-age woman pursue if her goal is to someday be a wife and a mother as an alternative to an expensive degree and still have the skills to support themselves while single and waiting for love?
00:33:34.000So I'm one of the few people that has a good answer to this because I'm willing to say what everyone is thinking on this, which is this, which first and foremost, that if the most important thing or the more important thing is family over career, then you need to say that and state it and write it down.
00:33:54.000Now, if career is more important than family for you, you have the agency to do that.
00:33:57.000I think you might want to second guess that a little bit and think about it and pray about it.
00:34:03.000end up being career driven and that's what they want to do and they live a fulfilled life most women cannot or do not want to do that deep down most women have a biological urge and need to get married and have children so therefore if you want to meet a good man where do you to go well i encourage you to go to an sec school and get an mrs degree and an mrs degree it's misses degree if you know mrs and again people say oh that's so mean if you say wait a second If we all agree children's the most important thing,
00:34:31.000getting married is a covenant in front of God.
00:34:34.000Wouldn't you prioritize that above becoming the CEO of a shoe company?
00:34:38.000And what better place to meet a husband And you think I'm kidding, but what we have, what we've done is we've said, oh no, no, college is not for that.
00:34:53.000And now our marriage rates are low, our birth rate is low, and we have a whole generation, the least married generation in American history.
00:34:59.000So what I think we should do, we should celebrate young ladies to go to college to get skills, but also to find a husband.
00:35:06.000What could be more important than that?
00:35:07.000By the way, that's what happened in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
00:35:11.000Ladies would go to college, they would find a husband, and it worked.
00:35:14.000The fertility rate was going up or at least was stable.
00:35:17.000I'm not kiddinging them that way, but the secondary point, and I'll say just with this, if you want to get skills, then you could also get that while you're in college.
00:35:25.000What we have to do though is we have to push for marriage to be younger.
00:35:31.000When you get married too late, birth rates go down.
00:35:33.000Everybody, we are at extinction levels in this country, and you are at mass extinction levels in this state, like horrifyingly low replacement numbers of births, right?
00:36:00.000So that is so catastrophically low that we need to have a whole reconsideration of what matters.
00:36:08.000And so all I'm saying is that if family matters, prioritize it early, find a husband.
00:36:13.000And I joke around at the SEC school because, look, if you go to University of May, half the guys are gay and they're not going to date you.
00:37:26.000Do some people have good genes both literally and yes.
00:37:30.000But I will say though, I think Ali B. Stuckey had a wonderful statement on this, which is that we should caution ourselves saying that was probably too lustful for what we would consider to be like an ideal ad.
00:38:26.000So you want it every time that they call Sidney Sweeney a Nazi, another young man registers as a Republican.
00:38:36.000We know that rates are still high and that they can make refinancing or purchasing feel out of reach, but markets can shift fast and when they do, I want you to be in the strike zone.
00:39:24.000They help me and they'll help you, Andrew and Todd dot com.
00:39:29.000So this question relates to a subject you touched on earlier, Maine being one of the least churched states.
00:39:35.000But even with that, there's a lack of turnout.
00:39:40.000There's Christian voter apathy in the state of Maine.
00:39:43.000So how does the church community, the Christian community in a state like Maine, how do you solve the problem of Christian voter apathy where Christians believe like people in this room but have just kind of given up on politics.
00:40:46.000Depression is widespread in this state.
00:40:49.000Part of it, I think, is just seasonal depression.
00:40:51.000I hate to be like overly simple, but we don't see the sun for four months out of the year.
00:40:55.000That does something to your soul, right?
00:40:57.000something to your character, but However, I will say this, though.
00:41:04.000This state is in more need of a Christian revival and the gospel more than almost any state that I visit in the country, right?
00:41:11.000And so, and I think a hot gospel, the truth of Jesus Christ is so necessary here.
00:41:20.000So we need more pastors that will be unafraid to teach the gospel properly, verse by verse, chapter by chapter.
00:41:26.000But your question was about political engagement, which is that if you are a pastor of a church, and we're trying to fix this at TPUSA Faith, if you're a pastor of a church, And if you're not, for example, let's say you're pastor in Portland, okay?
00:41:39.000And if you're not speaking out about the fact that men are in female sports, you are not doing your job as a pastor.
00:43:09.000The most popular music streamed on Apple Music is disproportionately Christian music by like Forrest Frank and by a lot of the right, the young people would agree.
00:43:20.000This generation is going back to the divine.
00:43:23.000They're going back and yes, Christ is king.
00:43:35.000Because they saw the darkness and the emptiness of mask mandates, vaccine mandates, school mandates.
00:43:40.000school closures of wokeism and they say enough of this modernity I don't like this false theology and this religion I want to find the real thing Gen Z is looking higher they're looking up which honestly is the greatest of all the trends happening right now in this country All right,
00:44:06.000the next question is, what is the biggest problem facing the conservative movement?
00:44:13.000Well, the biggest problem first initially will be how do we keep this energy post Trump.
00:44:20.000And I think we're starting to figure that out.
00:45:56.000But the moment he authorized it, I got behind him.
00:45:59.000And I listed out all the ways this could have went wrong.
00:46:01.000But President Trump, without losing a single U.S. troop, without no endless war, you know, was able to fly B-2 bombers from Missouri all the way to Iran and back, take out Iran's nuclear capabilities for the time being.
00:46:15.000And honestly, that's a new doctrine that isn't like permanent war and it's not total retreat and isolationism.
00:46:21.000And I think that's a really good way forward that a lot of us can be, you know, strong military against our enemies while not getting into endless permanent quagmires.
00:46:29.000So I think we have to figure that out because there is a bubbling up collision point happening on foreign policy.
00:46:36.000But I think President Trump is demonstrating a very successful third way forward.
00:46:47.000So this next question is about legal immigration and it's from the author expressed some frustration with the process of bringing a spouse in through the legal immigration system.
00:46:58.000What are your thoughts on our legal immigration system?
00:47:04.000And just generally, you know, how should we approach legal immigration as opposed to the flood of fake asylum seekers coming over the border and up to Maine?
00:47:24.000It needs to be, does it benefit your homeland?
00:47:26.000And legal immigration can, but currently isn't benefiting the United States.
00:47:31.000First of all, we have this H1B scam, which is basically firing American workers so foreign tech workers can come and take computer science jobs from our own graduates.
00:47:40.000H1B is a huge scam that is happening right now.
00:47:44.000But I'm of the opinion, and people don't always agree, I think we should shut off all immigration right now, legal and illegal, because we are a packed, crowded country.
00:47:54.000We do not have a lack of people problem.
00:47:55.000Now, I could probably carve out a couple hundred visas a year for geniuses.
00:48:00.000I think if there's like a super genius, I think that there's a place for that, right?
00:48:03.000You know, if there is, you know, the next, you know, the next yo-yo ma, you know, or the next, you know, person that's mapping the human genome.?
00:48:27.000Our infrastructures are being strained, our hospitals are being strained, our schools are being strained.
00:48:32.000And what we have not done is we have not paused and then reconsidered what's best for the homeland.
00:48:37.000One of my favorite presidents and who I think is the best president of the 20th century, and it's a very provocative take, is Dwight D. Eisenhower.
00:50:08.000i think we shut off all immigration and until we figure out what the heck is going on uh how do we How do we approach the issue of pornography addiction in young teens in America?
00:51:19.000It's put in a way to try to wire the dopamine circuitry in your brain to keep on going back to the source, but at least I think we can have a national consensus that we need to make it almost impossible for a 14-year-old to be able to view graphic pornography.
00:52:13.000It's actually where we get the word pornography from, pornia, which is sexual immorality.
00:52:17.000We are now seeing infect the entire country and world.
00:52:20.000And I think there is a place for public policy and for laws to make it much harder and also impossible as much as we can for younger people.
00:53:18.000If you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, they can get you out of debt.
00:53:23.000So if you know anybody in your life that might have student loan problems, private student loan problems, check it out right now at yrefi.com.
00:54:14.000I don't want to bore the audience on like abstract historical stuff.
00:54:17.000But Teddy Roosevelt used prudence and courage and boldness to actually interestingly restrain the Titans that used to vacation here in the state, like the Rockefellers.
00:54:29.000from basically creating a permanent oligarchy.
00:54:33.000And you could actually argue Teddy Roosevelt saved 20th century capitalism because what we had is a rush of people from the farms to the factories and it was so disordered that Teddy Roosevelt brought some harmony to it that actually built the American middle class throughout the 1910s and 1920s.
00:54:53.000There are some in the Republican Party that says, no, he started the progressive movement.
00:54:56.000I would actually say the real progressive author was Woodrow Wilson, who was the president of Princeton University, governor of New Jersey, won only because of a plurality of the vote.
00:55:06.000The worst thing Teddy Roosevelt actually did was run for president in 1912 in the Bull Moose Party because we had William Howard Taft, we had Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt.
00:55:15.000So Woodrow Wilson was able to become president by getting like 38%, 40% of the vote.
00:55:20.000And Woodrow Wilson was a nightmare, right?
00:56:02.000and I think we can learn a lot from them.
00:56:10.000So you obviously spend a lot of time on college campuses.
00:56:13.000So this is a question that's right up your alley.
00:56:15.000Can the U.S. higher education system be saved?
00:56:18.000And related to that, should the Trump administration, the federal government tax the endowments of these large elite colleges and universities?
00:56:29.000We should absolutely tax the endowments, first and foremost.
00:56:31.000These are hedge funds with schools attached.
00:56:34.000And what we should do is we should tax the endowments and send a rebate to every blue collar worker that had their jobs sent overseas to China over the last 40 years.
00:56:46.000Because what you might say, those two things are disconnected.
00:57:38.000Close that place down, tax the endowments, and turn those buildings into condominiums, okay?
00:57:45.000So, here's what I will pronounce correctly.
00:57:48.000College the Atlantic, wow, that place is left wing.
00:57:52.000I mean, that because I was I was near there recently and I was just researching it.
00:57:56.000So, so environmentalists, so left wing.
00:57:58.000So here's the problem when it comes to higher education is that higher education, first and foremost, the financial, I could do a whole hour long speech on the financials, you know it.
00:58:09.000But the worldview themselves that they are presenting is one that is against Western values.
00:58:15.000They are not creating graduates that want to fight for this place.
00:58:18.000They're creating graduates that want to change this place.
00:58:22.000And those are two totally different things.
00:58:24.000So I love what the Trump administration is doing, I'm cheering them on to do even more.
00:58:29.000I think they should seize the endowments, they should tax them into oblivion.
00:58:33.000And I think we need less of these quote-unquote Ivy League institutions, and we need more places like Hillsdale College that love America, love God, and teach kids about liberty.
00:59:21.000And also, from a younger perspective, how does someone who is at the high school or college level go about starting a chapter of a turning point?
00:59:43.000I think we have a table out there maybe.
00:59:45.000I see a lot of our buttons, so I'm inferringring maybe we do are you our turning point students around we got to get pictures after that's awesome so tpusa.com start a high school group start a college group would would love it and maybe I gotta cut gotta come back to the University of Maine is that in Augusta is that right or or no okay Bangor you guys are funny I love it You know,
01:00:13.000The old joke, and then I'll get to the first question, is how could you tell if someone who immigrated to Texas was actually immigrated, you ask them who won at the Alamo, and if, you know, basically their answer is...
01:00:33.000So the first part of your question was important.
01:01:45.000You bought some stocks in the 1980s and then buy them.
01:01:48.000They are ridiculously more valuable today in 2025, right?
01:01:52.000Even if you bought stocks in 2010, they're more valuable today.
01:01:55.000You bought stocks in 2020, they're more valuable today.
01:01:59.000A generation right now, we are suffering, not me, but this generation is suffering in a way.
01:02:06.000that we have not seen a generation suffer in American history in comparison to their parents.
01:02:10.000It is the first time in American history, including the Great Depression, where kids are sizably and measurably poorer and worse off than their parents.
01:02:39.000That is, and I think everyone in this audience agrees by the way, right?
01:02:42.000Everyone in this audience spoke out against it.
01:02:44.000So when I say the stuff in my show, I'm not even bashing you guys.
01:02:46.000I'm saying the baby boomers that were like shut everything down because I want, you know, I might get COVID, but I don't care how my kids do.
01:02:53.000That's upside down generational child sacrifice and we shouldn't put up up with that.
01:02:57.000And so, and the, look at it since 2020.
01:03:06.000If you are a boomer and you own your home, your home definitely got more valuable since 2020.
01:03:13.000Your stocks definitely got more valuable.
01:03:19.000And so what happens is it's economic nihilism that sets in and cynicism, where the next generation is like, oh.
01:03:26.000all of you guys were able to experience all the upside and now everything is so they can't afford downpayments on homes they're buying groceries on credit they're constantly in debt so what can be done?
01:03:39.000My one thing I want, I don't want boomers to sell their second home and give it back.
01:04:52.000So what I think is we need intergenerational compassion from boomers that don't just pull up the ladder, you know, say, oh, we made it.
01:04:59.000Instead, looking down at the next generation, being excited they're becoming more godly, excited they're becoming more conservative, but also a helping hand generationally so that the generation I represent can experience even a fraction of the prosperity that baby boomers were able to experience the last couple of decades.
01:05:40.000I'm actually writing a book all about the Sabbath, it's coming out this December, it's called Stop in the Name of God, Why Honoring the Sabbath will change your life.
01:05:47.000Everybody, you should turn off your phone for one day a week and just spend time with family.
01:06:02.000This is the forgotten commandment in the Ten Commandments.
01:06:04.000We in the West, we never talk about it.
01:06:06.000We kind of just shrug our shoulders at it.
01:06:07.000We kind of forsake it to our own detriment.
01:06:10.000So I'm able to have a great family life because one day a week, I believe God tells me to stop.
01:06:15.000Again, this is the exception I'm working today and because I just couldn't say no to you wonderful Mayners and I wanted to fire you all up to save your state.
01:06:22.000But I will say that that's a great preservation tool.
01:06:29.000And the thing I learn in life, again, I'm still learning a lot, you get what you prioritize.
