The Charlie Kirk Show - Why Won't Rich Blue Cities House Migrants?

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:00.000 What if I told you that an affluent suburb of Chicago offered, hey, why don't some of our residents take these illegals?

00:00:06.000 And no one signed up.

00:00:07.000 Josh McBroom, Naperville City Council member, joins us.

00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:43.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:48.000 His spirit is love of this country.

00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:55.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:57.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:34.000 We are just finishing.

00:01:36.000 In fact, we're completely finished with our Restoring National Confidence Summit.

00:01:39.000 So just so you all know, right now, the official RNC meeting has begun.

00:01:44.000 It's closed to the press.

00:01:45.000 We have some members of the 168, obviously, Tyler Boyer, who is there.

00:01:49.000 And the RNC is going to try to get an approval for a new line of credit, for a new line of credit to establish some borrowing.

00:01:58.000 Tara Saravitis has tweeted out: quote, the RNC is broke nine months before the election, hemorrhaging donors, while Biden's main pack is shattering spending and fundraising records, a $250 million ad buy that is buying up critical ad slots ahead of the election so they can be purchased by the GOP later.

00:02:17.000 So they can't be purchased by the GOP later.

00:02:19.000 Let me explain what this means.

00:02:21.000 It's like buying real estate.

00:02:23.000 Once you own a piece of property and you decide to hold on to that property, you own it.

00:02:29.000 So Joe Biden and his team, they're buying up very valuable advertising time.

00:02:35.000 So for example, right now, the Biden team is so smart.

00:02:37.000 The Biden PAC, regardless who the next nominee is, they're going to NBC and they're sitting down with NBC and they say, hey, here's $75 million.

00:02:46.000 We want all of the prime advertising they're the Olympics.

00:02:49.000 We want every single Sunday night football ad in Sunday that's slotted for political.

00:02:55.000 And we want every single one of the Sunday night football ad in October.

00:02:58.000 And what NBC does is they give them a bundle discount.

00:03:02.000 Okay, you're going to front 75 million bucks and you're already ready to buy summertime and fall ads.

00:03:09.000 Sure, Biden super PAC.

00:03:11.000 NBC's like, here's the wire instructions.

00:03:14.000 And then they go to CBS and they say, hey, you know, we know that you're going to have some football in Sunday.

00:03:21.000 And by the way, Tom Brady might be becoming a Fox commentator on Fox Sports, which will spike their ratings.

00:03:26.000 Greg Olson might be moved to the number two slot.

00:03:28.000 If that ends up being true, Fox is going to be able to, they're really going to compete.

00:03:32.000 And of course, Tony Roma does the CBS deal.

00:03:34.000 So they'll go to Fox, not Fox News, but they'll say, hey, we want, here's $30 million.

00:03:38.000 We want it after this.

00:03:39.000 You get the point.

00:03:40.000 They go to ESPN.

00:03:41.000 They say, hey, you got college football.

00:03:42.000 We want your primetime college football.

00:03:44.000 We want college game day.

00:03:45.000 And we want Monday Night Football, which ESPN has the rights to.

00:03:50.000 So then, let's just say, theoretically, the Republicans, we pick up steam and we get rid of Rana and we raise all this money.

00:03:56.000 And by the way, TV ads mean something.

00:03:58.000 It does not mean nothing.

00:03:59.000 You just have to be enough to compete.

00:04:01.000 If you have nothing on TV, you're going to lose the election.

00:04:03.000 You have to have at least $500 to $600 million on TV in the three states.

00:04:08.000 The Republicans have next to no money.

00:04:10.000 This is a huge disadvantage.

00:04:13.000 Some people say TV means nothing.

00:04:15.000 TV means something.

00:04:15.000 You're wrong.

00:04:17.000 Sometimes you can do too much TV and not enough on the ground.

00:04:21.000 Sometimes you can do too much on the ground and not enough TV.

00:04:23.000 You have to look competitive.

00:04:24.000 You have to at least be near parity.

00:04:28.000 There's no exact formula for it, but you have to be at like 60 or 70% of for every dollar that the bad guys spend to at least be within the margin.

00:04:36.000 Now, thankfully, Donald Trump gets a lot of earned media.

00:04:40.000 He gets a lot of attention.

00:04:42.000 A lot of people already have strong opinions about him.

00:04:45.000 So those things will all help him.

00:04:46.000 But if Republicans end up getting spent six to one, eight to one on TV.

00:04:51.000 So let's pretend XYZ billionaire, and there's a lot of great ones that are patriots come out and they say, I want to spend $250 million to elect Donald Trump.

00:05:02.000 And Republicans are notoriously late.

00:05:05.000 They do not do early money.

00:05:06.000 Republicans like wake up after Labor Day and they're like, I want to spend all this money.

00:05:09.000 And people say, well, there's nowhere to spend it.

00:05:12.000 So let's say in Labor Day, someone says, I want to spend $250 million to elect Donald Trump.

00:05:16.000 And they go to NBC and they say, hey, we want to buy ads.

00:05:19.000 And NBC will say, sorry, those are taken.

00:05:23.000 Back in January, the Democrats came and bought out all the real estate.

00:05:27.000 And Republicans will say, what?

00:05:30.000 We want the ads.

00:05:31.000 They say, sorry, you're a day late and a dollar short.

00:05:34.000 All of our Olympic inventory is gone.

00:05:36.000 All of our Sunday night football inventory is gone.

00:05:39.000 If you want, you could do the soap opera reruns at 2 p.m.

00:05:45.000 And they're like, yeah, well, we'll take as much of that as we can get.

00:05:48.000 If we don't get our act together quickly, everybody, there will be no real estate left for us to be able to compete on TV.

00:05:54.000 And yes, you have to also, I mean, thankfully, this is not as much of a problem on social media where some money needs to be spent on SEO, but the Democrats are so smart.

00:06:01.000 They have a playbook.

00:06:02.000 They have a checklist.

00:06:03.000 They have thousands of full-time ballot chasers.

00:06:05.000 And then they say, let's try to buy all the prime real estate as early as possible.

00:06:09.000 So Joe Biden is $250 million ad buy buying up critical slots ahead of the election so they can't be purchased by the Republicans later.

00:06:16.000 Meanwhile, Trump's main pack raised $43 million in the second half of last year and was forced to spend $50 million of his campaign funds on legal fees.

00:06:24.000 Super smart.

00:06:25.000 Indict him in every jurisdiction.

00:06:27.000 Alvin Bragg, Eugene Carroll, Donald Trump has to keep on flying all over the country.

00:06:31.000 $50 million in legal fees.

00:06:35.000 $50 million in legal fees.

00:06:38.000 Two swing state Republican parties are bankrupt as well.

00:06:41.000 And bottom line, there is no national get out the vote campaign, no national get-out-the-vote campaign in at least two swing states by the state party.

00:06:47.000 And GOP voters have no idea how screwed we are.

00:06:49.000 I've never seen anything like this, Tara Saravitis says.

00:06:53.000 But there is hope, everybody.

00:06:54.000 You know what the hope is?

00:06:56.000 Turning point action on our ragtag budget.

00:06:59.000 And again, by rag tag, I mean, you know, the current operating budget outside of ballot chasing is, you know, $10 to $12 million.

00:07:05.000 And that might say, oh, Trail, that's a ton of money.

00:07:07.000 That's not a lot of money in politics.

00:07:09.000 It's not.

00:07:09.000 I'm sorry.

00:07:10.000 That's just not a lot of money.

00:07:11.000 We're talking about a $7 billion election, and the RNC has a $120 million budget.

00:07:14.000 The DNC has $150 million budget.

00:07:16.000 These super PACs raised $250, $300,040 million.

00:07:19.000 I want you to listen to this.

00:07:21.000 Look at what we achieved on a small shoestring budget, the Planet Hollywood.

00:07:26.000 Again, we weren't at the Bellagio.

00:07:28.000 We weren't at the Cosmopolitan.

00:07:30.000 We weren't at the four seasons.

00:07:31.000 We went to Planet Hollywood.

00:07:33.000 Great people.

00:07:33.000 By the way, they hosted us really well.

00:07:35.000 Sweet people, hospitable, affordable.

00:07:38.000 I would say the Planet Hollywood is affordable.

00:07:41.000 And for the record, we had no flower budget and everything was just fine.

00:07:46.000 No flowers.

00:07:47.000 The RNC spent $70,000 on flowers and we had no flower budget.

00:07:53.000 By the way, Andrew, can you find that picture I took last spring of the turning point USA flower budget?

00:07:58.000 Listen to this, everybody.

00:08:00.000 This is front lines, grassroots, people that were just coming up to the great Ben Berquam on Real America's Voice and saying, Hey, we now have marching orders.

00:08:10.000 So, how do we overcome the dysfunction, the Democrat oligarchy?

00:08:13.000 Because Rana is controlled opposition.

00:08:16.000 The RNC has controlled opposition.

00:08:17.000 They have this winter meeting.

00:08:18.000 If they wanted to lose, they'd be acting like this.

00:08:21.000 But I think we have a competitive chance thanks to Turning Point Action and the grassroots patriots.

00:08:29.000 Listen to this and you be the judge.

00:08:31.000 Play Cut 52.

00:08:32.000 I'm here because I've been to an RNC training.

00:08:35.000 It is nothing like what they did at Turning Point.

00:08:37.000 They're giving us actionable things to actually do and win, which the RNC is not interested in doing for some reason.

00:08:43.000 I am the chairman of the Forsyth County Georgia Republican Party, and I am here because we have been lacking on tools and support from the RNC from a national level down to the county level.

00:08:55.000 We have people that are ready to get involved.

00:08:57.000 They want to go to work.

00:08:59.000 They just need to know what to do.

00:09:01.000 And so this has been a great opportunity for us to network with people and learn and just really fill up our toolbox with things we can take back home and get out the vote.

00:09:09.000 My name is Will Donahue.

00:09:10.000 I'm the president of the National College of Republicans, and we're here to support Turning Point and their ballot chasing initiative.

00:09:15.000 We've got students all over the country.

00:09:17.000 We were just in Iowa.

00:09:18.000 We were just in New Hampshire.

00:09:20.000 We're here to help support Turning Point Action, help win the next election.

00:09:23.000 Thank you to Turning Point.

00:09:24.000 I've learned more in one day than I have in two years.

00:09:27.000 Okay, what are two or three things you learned that you're doing?

00:09:32.000 So they have the Turning Point data people have dug down to precinct level six precincts of mine that had target voters that were likely voters in 2016, 2020 that did not vote, and they're Republicans down to 25,000 voters.

00:09:47.000 I can hit those six precincts now with my walk list.

00:09:49.000 I've never gotten that dug down from the RPOF or the RNC.

00:09:53.000 Turning point has done it.

00:09:55.000 I'm taking it home to my people, my precinct captains, and going out and doing this now.

00:09:59.000 25,000 votes.

00:10:00.000 That's amazing.

00:10:01.000 It's huge, huge.

00:10:02.000 So thank you.

00:10:03.000 Thank you.

00:10:03.000 Thank you to Charlie Kirk.

00:10:04.000 Thank you, Steve, for everything you do.

00:10:06.000 It's just the taste, the tape.

00:10:08.000 That meant we could go on for an hour of people that say thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:10:12.000 I'm getting emails from people all across the country.

00:10:14.000 We didn't ask any of them to say that.

00:10:15.000 It's not rehearsed.

00:10:16.000 It's all that. 0.93

00:10:16.000 And by the way, the RNC, they're such tricksters. 0.93

00:10:18.000 They're attacking us as keyboard warriors.

00:10:21.000 They don't do anything.

00:10:22.000 And by the way, you know what's amazing about this?

00:10:24.000 How many people told us, they said, the RNC never did a training in our state.

00:10:28.000 The RNC never did a training.

00:10:31.000 It's like, oh, well, they raise money telling donors they do trainings.

00:10:33.000 No, they've never done a training with us.

00:10:36.000 Makes you wonder.

00:10:40.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:42.000 With each year that passes, the term health goals takes on more and more importance for me.

00:10:47.000 In my younger days, feeling great and feeling healthy was something I took for granted.

00:10:51.000 Now it's become an active goal in my life.

00:10:54.000 This means I do specific things to help me get there.

00:10:57.000 And one of those things I do every day is take Balance of Nature's Fruits and Veggie supplements.

00:11:02.000 Why did I choose Balance of Nature?

00:11:04.000 So many reasons, but probably one of the most important to me is that they're always made from whole food ingredients.

00:11:10.000 Have you started getting more serious about your health goals like I have?

00:11:13.000 I strongly urge you to check out Balance of Nature.

00:11:16.000 Whether you order online or you call them direct, you must use promo code Charlie to get the special offer of 35% off.

00:11:34.000 That is balanceofnature.com.

00:11:37.000 Discount code Charlie to get 35% off.

00:11:43.000 One of our really smart fans said, Charlie, very interesting ad squatting.

00:11:48.000 It's Ted.

00:11:49.000 This makes some other candidates sound correct in a way.

00:11:52.000 The contest should not be decided or influenced.

00:11:54.000 He said Ralph Nader, but I don't know if that's totally true.

00:11:57.000 The contest should be not decided or influenced to the extent by purchasing power political savvy.

00:12:02.000 If there was equal time by two major parties in the end, it would eliminate the problem.

00:12:05.000 So actually, you're not wrong, Ted.

00:12:07.000 Technically, the law says you have to have equal time and equal opportunity, but these are super PACs.

00:12:12.000 So that's what's interesting, is that the super PACs are able to deploy 527 outside money.

00:12:18.000 And people forget there's a really rich history here.

00:12:21.000 Barack Obama actually set the precedent for the modern outside money beast that we live through.

00:12:29.000 Did you know that prior to Barack Hussein Obama running for president in 2008, every single presidential election post-Nixon was funded by the U.S. taxpayers?

00:12:38.000 Post-Nixon, every single presidential election and the campaign was funded by U.S. taxpayers, and it still can be.

00:12:47.000 By federal law, the major party running for the U.S. presidency has at their, I think it's like $600 million.

00:12:56.000 You guys can look at the exact number.

00:13:00.000 They could get a check from the U.S. Treasury.

00:13:01.000 Now, John McCain took the money from the federal government, but Obama ran the numbers.

00:13:06.000 He said, I think I can raise more money than that.

00:13:08.000 And Obama set the precedent.

00:13:11.000 Obama set the precedent where he said, I no longer want to take the taxpayer money.

00:13:20.000 And instead, I will try to open it up to anybody who wants to give money.

00:13:26.000 And Obama raised far more money than that was at the disposal of taxpayer funding.

00:13:32.000 The Democrats are ahead of us.

00:13:34.000 They are way ahead of us on ad squatting and getting the prime real estate so that they are going to flood the airwaves.

00:13:41.000 This is why I say, stop looking at these polls, everybody.

00:13:44.000 These polls are not an accurate picture.

00:13:46.000 Do you think that all of a sudden Donald Trump's going to be up six points in a poll where every single advertisement is, and Donald Trump wants to jail women and put some sort of nonsense they're going to say, or Donald Trump wants to come after women and they're doing all these sorts of different ops and cultural phenomenons.

00:14:00.000 And this is why we have to get the boring stuff figured out, the machinery figured out.

00:14:06.000 And if the Democrats are really serious about winning, don't be surprised.

00:14:10.000 Now, RFK might be the exception.

00:14:12.000 Don't be surprised if all of a sudden some of these fringe Democrats drop out of the race.

00:14:17.000 They don't like all these candidates.

00:14:19.000 No labels might just evaporate.

00:14:21.000 I certainly hope no labels run.

00:14:23.000 It's going to hurt Democrats more than Republicans, without a doubt.

00:14:27.000 There's so much cockiness of some people.

00:14:29.000 Oh, we're going to win the predictive favorite.

00:14:31.000 We're up nine points in this poll and six points in this poll and five points in this poll.

00:14:34.000 So yeah, really?

00:14:35.000 How many full-time staff does the RNC have in Arizona? 0.58

00:14:37.000 One?

00:14:37.000 Two?

00:14:38.000 We need at least 1,000 full-time people in Arizona.

00:14:41.000 We're trying our best at Torne Porn Action.

00:14:42.000 We're over 300 people.

00:14:43.000 So where does all this money go, flowers?

00:14:46.000 Media consultants.

00:14:47.000 Where does all this money go?

00:14:49.000 You look at the report that Jennifer Van Law came on the program yesterday.

00:14:52.000 The Democrats don't spend nearly close to what the Republicans spent on office supplies on limousines between limousines, flow arrangements, media booking, and office supplies come up millions of dollars, millions of dollars of precious, precious resources.

00:15:07.000 And the Democrats, Democrats spend much more on GOTV texting, on data file.

00:15:13.000 And so let me tell you partially what we did and why this meeting was so important in Vegas is, you know, we've raised money from donors and we fulfill the mandate that donors give us and we communicate, hey, we need to spend some money on getting this data and figuring out.

00:15:26.000 So we have a whole war room, a data war room.

00:15:28.000 We're going to do a show live from our war room.

00:15:30.000 It's just right in your run broadcasting here.

00:15:31.000 It's amazing.

00:15:32.000 You guys are going to love it.

00:15:32.000 These guys are working at their computers.

00:15:34.000 They're crunching numbers.

00:15:34.000 It's like a Silicon Valley tech startup.

00:15:37.000 The visual is absolutely incredible.

00:15:39.000 And we spent money on purchasing the voter file data.

00:15:44.000 Again, I don't know how much Tyler can talk about it, but it's hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:15:47.000 And then we say, okay, we have all these state party chairs in these county chairs.

00:15:51.000 Why don't we tell them what precincts so when they come to Vegas, like that one woman said, and that Matthew Martinez does a great job.

00:15:58.000 He's a data nerd.

00:15:59.000 So we sit down with, for example, the Waukesha guy knows his stuff, but it was even a great conversation.

00:16:05.000 We sit down with Terry, who's the Waukesha chair.

00:16:08.000 We say, hey, here's the 15 precincts, otherwise known as 1,000 people data, 1,000 people neighborhoods that you have to do better in, that you have low propensity Republicans that you need to run up to score it.

00:16:19.000 And he says, wow, I don't know that.

00:16:20.000 Or the Hillsborough County in Florida or Maricopa County in Arizona or Pinal County in Arizona or Clark County in Nevada or Washoe County in Nevada.

00:16:29.000 I could go on.

00:16:30.000 And so we are telling them.

00:16:31.000 And this is, by the way, what the RNC should be doing.

00:16:34.000 The RNC should be the offensive coordinator.

00:16:36.000 The RNC should be painting a big, broad strategy because that's not a ton of money.

00:16:41.000 And they should be calling.

00:16:41.000 And by the way, they don't even talk to these county chairs because they have contempt for the counter chairs.

00:16:45.000 The county chairs are like, hey, why are we all alone?

00:16:46.000 Where's the RNC?

00:16:47.000 The RNC comes in, doesn't do anything to do these trainings.

00:16:50.000 It's a joke.

00:16:52.000 And then they'll walk away and raise a bunch of money from donors and have limousines and off supplies and Lululemon and flower arrangements.

00:16:58.000 And they say, everything's fine.

00:16:59.000 Meanwhile, the grassroots are like, yeah, you didn't do anything for me.

00:17:02.000 And we now tell them literally the doors that they need to knock on.

00:17:06.000 We just supply the grassroots with the voters, the addresses, the names that we need to win in November.

00:17:16.000 It's tough, a lot of stress, and that means inflammation increases.

00:17:19.000 And that means pain also might increase alongside of it.

00:18:21.000 I will welcome our guests, but I want to just set this up.

00:18:23.000 We have Josh McBroom, Neighborville, Illinois City Councilman, joining us.

00:18:26.000 But first, let's play the tape that went viral.

00:18:30.000 Play Cut 33, please.

00:18:32.000 I do know that there's a lot of people that do care, and I think we live in a compassionate community.

00:18:40.000 So, you know, before we go down the road of, you know, doing what, you know, following suit on some of these other cities are taking action on, you know, my idea would be, let's find out.

00:18:53.000 Let's find out who's willing to help.

00:18:55.000 You know, so, you know, we do hear from constituents on both sides.

00:18:59.000 What are we going to do to preemptively stop this?

00:19:01.000 And then we hear from people that tell us we should do more.

00:19:04.000 So, you know, we do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes.

00:19:10.000 And what I'd like to do is direct staff to create a sign-up sheet.

00:19:15.000 So, you know, for individuals that would be willing to house migrant families.

00:19:24.000 And if there's people that would do that, God bless them.

00:19:28.000 So if we could raise awareness in that way, I think we need to find out.

00:19:33.000 I think we need to find out who would be willing to house migrant families. 0.51

00:19:38.000 Joining us now is the man in the video, Josh McBroom.

00:19:42.000 Josh, thank you for taking time.

00:19:44.000 I am curious, how many families took you up on that offer?

00:19:47.000 It's interesting, Charlie.

00:19:49.000 Thanks for having me on.

00:19:50.000 Big fan.

00:19:51.000 I got an 18-year-old son who's a huge fan of yours.

00:19:53.000 Thank you.

00:19:53.000 Fully, fully red-pilled him.

00:19:56.000 You know, since I made the proposal and, you know, I was being sincere.

00:20:03.000 I mean, I live in a town that voted for Biden by 20 points.

00:20:08.000 And, you know, some of my liberal friends actually have signs in their yards that say, you know, no human is illegal and love is love is love.

00:20:17.000 And it came across as very sincere.

00:20:20.000 And I didn't get a single person that contacted me and said, hey, this is a great idea, Josh.

00:20:26.000 Is the signup sheet ready?

00:20:28.000 I'd like to sign up to house some non-U.S. citizens in my house. 1.00

00:20:32.000 Just it didn't happen.

00:20:33.000 So far, there hasn't been a single individual.

00:20:36.000 So I think it would be helpful.

00:20:38.000 I know Naperville really well.

00:20:39.000 I love Naperville.

00:20:40.000 My mother and grandmother from Donners Groves are not so far from there.

00:20:45.000 I know the area.

00:20:46.000 Just for our national audience, Josh, can you just paint a picture of Naperville?

00:20:50.000 It's an affluent community.

00:20:52.000 It's, I say this in the best possible way.

00:20:54.000 It's sleepy, right?

00:20:55.000 Meaning you guys are not always in the news.

00:20:58.000 You kind of like it that way, right?

00:20:59.000 Things are just orderly and safe.

00:21:02.000 And it's a really beautiful place.

00:21:05.000 And I'm sure that the kind of non-U.S. citizen influx is creating some rancor. 1.00

00:21:11.000 So kind of talk about your community and how this is creating some waves.

00:21:16.000 Yeah, Naperville is a wonderful town.

00:21:18.000 Fortunate to have raised our three boys here.

00:21:21.000 One, you know, consistently ranked some of the best schools in the country.

00:21:24.000 Safe town, great place to raise a family.

00:21:26.000 And I run my business here.

00:21:28.000 You know, we just, we just love it.

00:21:30.000 DuPage County, where you know, Charlie has been traditionally a very red, politically conservative area.

00:21:36.000 Last five, 10 years or so, we've shifted decidedly blue.

00:21:41.000 I mean, we're not San Francisco or Seattle.

00:21:44.000 You know, we have a lot of political conservatives here, but we overwhelmingly voted for J.B. Pritzker.

00:21:50.000 We overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden.

00:21:54.000 And we're starting to see the effects of that.

00:21:56.000 And, you know, some of my colleagues like, Josh, you got us in national news.

00:21:59.000 I mean, I never thought that would happen.

00:22:01.000 And, you know, the only thing that should be in the news is about how great the town is and schools and et cetera.

00:22:04.000 And I get that, but I'm not going to put my head in the sand either.

00:22:07.000 I mean, we're starting to see some of the effects from these policies by the governor and these unfunded mandates.

00:22:13.000 And we're seeing more smashing grabs and some more crime.

00:22:16.000 And you can't put your head in the sand.

00:22:19.000 And now we've had six, at least six buses that have come through Naperville.

00:22:23.000 And you've got the city of Chicago that's capitulating.

00:22:26.000 I mean, I think what Greg Abbott has done is great.

00:22:28.000 Like give people what they want.

00:22:30.000 And they're saying, you know, hey, they're screaming uncle right now.

00:22:32.000 And they're asking the suburbs to help out.

00:22:35.000 And I'm saying, hey, we're not going to devote any public resources to this.

00:22:40.000 And was I being a little, was I giving a challenge to people?

00:22:43.000 Yeah.

00:22:44.000 You know, here, here, this is what you said.

00:22:46.000 This is what you voted for.

00:22:47.000 This is what you want.

00:22:49.000 And Charlie, I guess I think I got, you know, during COVID, you know, this, this virtue signaling stuff.

00:22:58.000 And we had like virtue signaling mania during COVID, right?

00:23:02.000 Like, you know, I've got a mask on.

00:23:03.000 Well, I've got two masks on.

00:23:05.000 I'm the best person.

00:23:06.000 I have the biggest, I have the biggest heart.

00:23:08.000 And it became this competition of who can virtue signal the most when there's no consequence, especially COVID, right?

00:23:14.000 People got to stay in their pajamas and their cushy little suburban house and tell everyone how good they are.

00:23:19.000 And with this situation, it's like, hey, it's on our borders now.

00:23:22.000 Like everything that you've been virtually signaling about, it's right here.

00:23:26.000 And I'm asking you, I'm giving you an opportunity to extol your virtue.

00:23:32.000 Here's a sign up sheet.

00:23:33.000 Will you, because there's, there's thousands that are homeless right now.

00:23:37.000 This is the result.

00:23:38.000 Yeah.

00:23:39.000 And you kind of in some ways say, hey, you know, you have the, we all seen the signs, right?

00:23:42.000 Hate has no home and, you know, no human being is illegal.

00:23:47.000 When you, when you said that, and I got to, you said it really fairly.

00:23:50.000 You said, look, we're hearing from constituents on both sides, and we now have a sign-up sheet.

00:23:55.000 Are you surprised that nobody has taken you up on it?

00:23:57.000 Because there seems to be a lot of chatter around helping others, but or do they want others to help others and then, but not in their living room?

00:24:07.000 Yeah, and I'm not surprised, but it was a legitimate challenge. 0.99

00:24:11.000 Like, I would almost, I would respect someone if they said, I'll sign that shit. 0.99

00:24:15.000 Okay, you got me. 1.00

00:24:16.000 I totally got me.

00:24:17.000 And by the way, I just in some part of me was saying, you know what?

00:24:21.000 Maybe there'll be like 200 real believers in Naperville, and they'll be like, we're going to go have these people in our living room.

00:24:30.000 But I guess not.

00:24:34.000 No.

00:24:34.000 And the other message there, Charlie, and I think we as conservatives, we kind of get this wrong.

00:24:39.000 You know, we're trying to club these liberals and say, you're, you know, you got to deport these people.

00:24:44.000 You know, ask them where the compassion, like this compassion that you're talking about, where is it?

00:24:49.000 Where's the compassion for thousands of migrants that are homeless in Chicago in the middle of winter?

00:24:53.000 Where's the compassion for human beings that are being humanly human trafficked and fentanyl overdoses?

00:25:00.000 And how about our homeless and our veterans where the public aid is being shifted away from them to our non-U.S. citizens?

00:25:05.000 I just, I'm just calling it out.

00:25:06.000 Like, I don't think any of this is compassionate.

00:25:08.000 I don't think it's love, love, love, like your sign says in the yard.

00:25:11.000 And I'm sorry if I'm, you know, being provocative and it's putting you in an uncomfortable situation, but we got a major problem right now.

00:25:17.000 So here's a solution.

00:25:18.000 Here's a sign-up sheet.

00:25:20.000 So it's so good.

00:25:21.000 And Josh, so on the city council, some of the other, let's just say, I know that it's a non-political thing.

00:25:26.000 It's nonpartisan or it's supposed to be, but some of your counterparts on the city council that let's just say are more sympathetic with using city services.

00:25:34.000 What are they recommending?

00:25:36.000 Because you recommended, you know, like, let's have a signup sheet.

00:25:39.000 Are they recommending putting them in taxpayer-funded gymnasiums or schools?

00:25:45.000 Are they recommending anything?

00:25:46.000 Or is it just like get them out of Naperville as quickly as possible?

00:25:50.000 It's kind of like, let's not talk about it.

00:25:52.000 Let's just, let's just like hope nothing happens.

00:25:55.000 But I'm like, something's going to happen.

00:25:58.000 I don't know if you saw Charlie, the Glenn Ellen mayor recently.

00:26:01.000 Do you see that that went out?

00:26:02.000 No, I didn't.

00:26:03.000 They had us up on that.

00:26:04.000 They had their village meeting the other night.

00:26:06.000 And I don't know if this may, I don't know this mayor, and maybe he's kind of doing what I'm doing, but you know, Pritzker, the state is floating money now.

00:26:12.000 I mean, that's the next thing.

00:26:13.000 It's like $11 million.

00:26:14.000 And they're in their village meeting.

00:26:15.000 They're like, hey, it's $11 million to permanently house migrants in our town. 1.00

00:26:20.000 And, you know, should we talk about that?

00:26:22.000 And I'm like, okay, yeah, put it in their lap.

00:26:25.000 No, no one's going to, you know, you can do this with anything.

00:26:28.000 I give people what they want.

00:26:30.000 You know, people in some of these affluent towns, they talk about affordable housing or, hey, we need low-income housing.

00:26:37.000 I don't fight them on it.

00:26:38.000 It's like, okay, that's a great idea.

00:26:40.000 Why don't we put a Section 8 high-rise right downtown Napervill right by your neighborhood?

00:26:45.000 Well, I just think that right back to him.

00:26:48.000 It's the brilliance because, again, just to reiterate it, Naperville is an affluent community.

00:26:52.000 It's similar to Wilmette, Barrington, the North Shore, Hinsdale.

00:26:57.000 It's very successful people, but it just reveals this fault line.

00:27:02.000 And correct me if I'm wrong, Naperville has become center left, more Democrat throughout the years.

00:27:07.000 Is that fair to say?

00:27:08.000 It used to not be that way.

00:27:09.000 DuPage County used to be a red county.

00:27:12.000 Is it fair to say Naperville has tilted in that direction in recent years?

00:27:15.000 Yeah, we're decidedly blue.

00:27:16.000 We went for Joe Biden by 20 percentage points.

00:27:19.000 I would say we're probably like 52, 48-ish.

00:27:23.000 It's really hard for in the partisan races for any Republicans to win around here.

00:27:29.000 Yeah, so right now 20 points for Joe Biden.

00:27:32.000 So it can feel good.

00:27:33.000 And this is the most important thing in what you just did, Josh.

00:27:35.000 And you just did this on a national scale.

00:27:37.000 And you did it so neutrally and you did it so fairly, honestly.

00:27:41.000 You're like, hey, the values of this city, 60-40, are generally, you know, for open borders and for allowing, but what about in your spare bedroom?

00:27:54.000 And to date, not a single taxpayer of Naperville has said, you know what, Josh, bring them in.

00:28:01.000 No, no, once the city decided that they're not going to move forward with the sign-up sheet, they were kind of like, hey, Josh, let's get this out of the news.

00:28:07.000 We got a couple of emails that came in and said, hey, can I sign up after we decided not to have the sign-up sheet?

00:28:11.000 But yeah, I mean, if there was demand for it, we would have done it, right?

00:28:14.000 If I had 200 homes and we're like, this is a great idea, let's do it.

00:28:17.000 I'd be like, okay, you called me.

00:28:19.000 And honestly, I would respect someone who votes for open, I wouldn't agree, and I would think it's kind of really bad for the society, but at least there'd be some consistency.

00:28:30.000 Hey, I don't want a southern border, and now you're able to get 700 square feet or 1,000 square feet of my mansion, right?

00:28:39.000 And it seems as if these are the people that call us xenophobic and they call us terrible for having borders.

00:28:46.000 But hey, you're not allowed in my gated community, but hate has no home here.

00:28:51.000 Josh, you're great.

00:28:52.000 I hope to meet you.

00:28:53.000 I love Midwestern Chicagoans.

00:28:55.000 They're the best Americans.

00:28:56.000 God bless you.

00:28:57.000 Talk to you soon.

00:28:57.000 Thanks, man.

00:28:58.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:28:59.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:29:02.000 I love that story.

00:29:04.000 Those are very powerful stories.

00:29:06.000 That's a Gavin Newsome go to French laundry type story.

00:29:10.000 Shut down the state of California, go to French laundry. 1.00

00:29:13.000 That is a, hey, we have to be worried about carbon emissions.

00:29:15.000 We fly in private jets.

00:29:16.000 Hey, we need to have no school choice to send my kids to private schools.

00:29:21.000 Very powerful stuff.

00:29:25.000 All right, I want to tell you about Herzog.

00:29:26.000 Herzog Foundation is amazing.

00:29:28.000 I want you guys to check it out right now.

00:29:31.000 We've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families.

00:30:16.000 Mark Zuckerberg is testifying in front of the Senate.

00:30:21.000 Now, this is a topic I'm very passionate about.

00:30:24.000 And first of all, Apple and Google aren't there.

00:30:26.000 They should be there.

00:30:27.000 Apple and Google should be there, all about child safety.

00:30:31.000 Zuckerberg and Facebook have not done nearly enough.

00:30:34.000 This is the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:30:37.000 And this is an outrageous statement from Zuckerberg.

00:30:40.000 I just got to be honest.

00:30:41.000 And by the way, Zuckerberg is not the worst of the tech titans.

00:30:44.000 Of all the platforms, Instagram treats us probably the second most fair.

00:30:49.000 Twitter and X is number one now.

00:30:51.000 YouTube is a disaster.

00:30:52.000 Google is the worst. 0.54

00:30:53.000 I call it fair. 1.00

00:30:55.000 But this is just complete trash, what Zuckerberg says here. 0.98

00:30:58.000 It's just not true. 0.96

00:31:00.000 This is not a political statement.

00:31:01.000 You could ask Tristan Harris. 0.99

00:31:04.000 You could ask now deceased Gary Wilson, your brain on porn. 0.99

00:31:08.000 This is absolute fabricated.

00:31:11.000 This is the same thing as if the tobacco companies, the same exact thing, everybody, if the tobacco companies would come up and they say there are no negative health effects from smoking.

00:31:23.000 It is the exact same thing.

00:31:26.000 Why are we listening to big tech saying that there is no link between young people and social media?

00:31:33.000 It'd be as if the major agricultural company is saying that high fructose corn syrup is good for you or for them to say that there's no negative side effects to taking, you know, benzodiazepines or Zoloft or Prozac.

00:31:46.000 That's all fine.

00:31:47.000 It's all upside.

00:31:48.000 You cannot trust the company.

00:31:50.000 Mark Zuckerberg's net worth increased by $84 billion this last year.

00:31:56.000 Of course, he's going to tell you that there's no negative effect.

00:32:00.000 Play cut 36, please.

00:32:02.000 With so much of our lives spent on mobile devices and social media, it's important to look into the effects on teen mental health and well-being.

00:32:10.000 I take this very seriously.

00:32:12.000 Mental health is a complex issue, and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes. 0.99

00:32:23.000 This is such garbage. 0.97

00:32:24.000 There is a chart. 0.98

00:32:25.000 If we can find it in time, it is the most clear cause and effect.

00:32:28.000 We're literally at the advent of the proliferation of the iPhone in 2013.

00:32:33.000 It was a major spike, and it has not decreased in suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety.

00:32:39.000 If you guys can find that, it's just a boom, boom.

00:32:41.000 As soon as we put supercomputers in 13, 14, 15, and 16-year-old pockets, all of a sudden, all these issues.

00:32:47.000 This is not hard, everybody.

00:32:49.000 You don't need studies.

00:32:50.000 You don't need some committee.

00:32:51.000 You don't need, thank you, Ryan.

00:32:53.000 You found it very quickly.

00:32:54.000 This is not hard.

00:32:55.000 It's like as soon as there was the mass proliferation of iPhones, this is the easiest cause and effect.

00:33:01.000 You don't need some committee.

00:33:02.000 You don't need some PhD.

00:33:04.000 You need a brain.

00:33:05.000 You need a functioning brain to look at this. 1.00

00:33:08.000 Holly has a great comeback here. 1.00

00:33:10.000 Let's play cut 54.

00:33:12.000 Here's some information from a whistleblower who came before the Senate, testified under oath in public.

00:33:17.000 He worked for you.

00:33:17.000 He's a senior executive.

00:33:19.000 Here's what he showed he found when he studied your products.

00:33:24.000 So, for example, this is girls between the ages of 13 and 15 years old.

00:33:28.000 37% of them reported that they had been exposed to nudity on the platform unwanted in the last seven days.

00:33:36.000 24% said that they had experienced unwanted sexual advances.

00:33:41.000 They'd been propositioned in the last seven days.

00:33:44.000 17% said they had encountered self-harm content pushed at them in the last seven days.

00:33:51.000 I don't know if TikTok was there or not.

00:33:53.000 I don't know if Google was there or not.

00:33:55.000 Facebook is getting all the attention.

00:33:58.000 Yeah, 59, put this up.

00:33:59.000 So Zuckerberg says there's no correlation.

00:34:03.000 Look at this.

00:34:04.000 Right at 2013-14, the suicidal thoughts is in red, goes up.

00:34:10.000 But look at that.

00:34:11.000 Sad or hopeless.

00:34:12.000 What else describes that?

00:34:14.000 They're going to say, oh, it's COVID.

00:34:16.000 No, the trend started well before COVID.

00:34:19.000 It's not even a question.

00:34:21.000 As screen time has gone up, the depression has gone up.

00:34:24.000 Anxiety has gone up.

00:34:25.000 I could tell you, it was a better country before we were carrying these things around.

00:34:29.000 Yes, I'm more productive with them.

00:34:31.000 Yes, I can communicate quicker.

00:34:33.000 Growing up in America prior to the mass proliferation of these Apple devices was a better country.

00:34:39.000 It was a happier country.

00:34:41.000 We knew our neighbors.

00:34:43.000 We were far more decent to one another.

00:34:45.000 We spent our time in better ways.

00:34:48.000 Look at 58.

00:34:49.000 Suicide percentage rates changed since 2003.

00:34:52.000 Look what happened with female and teens right near 2014.

00:34:56.000 And Zuckerberg says with a straight face, oh, you know, there is no causal link.

00:35:01.000 Any scientist who says that is bought and paid for by the big tech lobby the same way that scientists were bought by big tobacco in the 70s or 80s. 0.98

00:35:10.000 It is trash. 1.00

00:35:11.000 It is garbage. 1.00

00:35:12.000 It should not be taken seriously. 1.00

00:35:14.000 Of course, these devices and social media companies are hurting our kids.
