Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point. You would say college chapter. Go start aturning point, yould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: Here I am.
00:00:46
Speaker 3: Lord, Use me.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers.
00:01:09
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirkshow. We're in the ask us anything our they ask we anything our something, ask them.
00:01:17
Speaker 4: They them, they them.
00:01:21
Speaker 5: Okay, Well yeah, one time I asked Charlie if ironic woke gear is funny, like I have, Oh geez, somebody stop me.
00:01:33
Speaker 4: I have probably three.
00:01:35
Speaker 6: They them mugs because people get them for me because it's ironic.
00:01:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get you lean a little too far into that sometimes.
00:01:42
Speaker 6: Okay, but it's it's funny. And so I asked Charlie, should we be selling ironic woke gear? He effectively said no, but you know, he did approve of the mockery of it. He make fun of it until it doesn't exist anymore. And that's I think the approach that we should take.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: Ridicule is a very powerful weapon, which a lot of liberals are certainly aware of.
00:02:00
Speaker 6: Said.
00:02:00
Speaker 2: I think it's in the Saallolenski things. Ridicule as a powerful weapon. But yeah, people are our pain. Subscribers are cued up to ask us questions. Do we have Anthony? If you're there, Anthony, unmute yourself, Welcome to the show.
00:02:13
Speaker 3: Hi guys, how are you hello?
00:02:16
Speaker 4: Welcome? What's your question?
00:02:18
Speaker 6: Oh?
00:02:18
Speaker 3: Well, it's two questions actually, Well, so my first questions is why are so many people in our country in favor of keeping the legal criminals in our in the US and thinking they're like the sweetest people in the world. And my second question is this why I'm getting an impression that people for some reason are now voting for Democrats in the off elections and possibly midterms. Do people because of Trump not doing stuff fast enough? But do they understand the bills that he has signed to, like lower taxes, no tax on tips, don't kick in until twenty twenty six. It seems like they want those things to start as soon as he signs and drops the pen like it starts that moment. And by the way, cute mascot right there in the middle. And have you named him the duck or as it puddles?
00:03:02
Speaker 4: Uh?
00:03:03
Speaker 2: I think I just called him ducky the duck, which I know is incorrect, but I don't follow enough college football.
00:03:08
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm told it is the duck, the duck, the duck.
00:03:11
Speaker 7: Yeah duck.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: And yes, oh that's you.
00:03:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you, Anthony. You did send me that email. That was great though. I appreciated that. All right, So question one, why do people want to keep illegals in the country? You guys, you definitely have thoughts because I think you were at the roofing convention, Mikey, do you want to tell that I have a lot of.
00:03:28
Speaker 4: Thoughts about this.
00:03:28
Speaker 2: I actually got into this this last week with with someone that was like, if we deport all these people, who's gonna work in the meatpacking plants, who's gonna work in you know, the farming industry, Who's gonna work in all these places? And then my response to them was, well, who's gonna work at all in ten years with the AI revolution, as you know, joking took it, but a real concern. It is a real concern, right, But here's why a lot of people don't want to give it away. And specifically this is like the wealthy elite, top one percent. It's like you go to Palm each you know, you go to Beverly Hills. They don't want to give up their cheap labor and they get used to this really nice lifestyle with having you know, eight to ten staff on hand that are probably illegal aliens, and they're choosing to just ignore the facts. They they're really nice people. Well they broke the law. Yeah, they can be really nice people, but they broke the lot. It's kind of a suffocating There's a lot of sentimentalism in American life where you really want things to be a like a Hallmark movie or something comparable. Really strong people just are easily manipulated by emotional appeals, and it's one reason it's important what the administration is doing to really emphasize, first of all, a lot of these people are very bad, but you also have to say, even if they're not literal rapists or sexual predators, there are people who broke the law. They came into this country, they are not from here, and it is damaging our country long term to just let people come in and to let our laws erode. Yeah, it's a difficult messaging thing. Do you have any thoughts on that jobob before the.
00:05:07
Speaker 6: Second one, I mean pretty much all tied it up. I think from on a more granular level, not necessarily the people in power that want the cheap labor, but the people that don't quite understand how difficult it is to build a thriving culture in society that don't understand the founding of the country and that don't recognize that, hey, if you don't maintain this, it will go away, and just oh, yeah, we can let in a bunch of Third worlders, a bunch of Somalis, and that won't degrade the culture at all.
00:05:34
Speaker 8: Uh.
00:05:34
Speaker 6: And it's just it's just inaccurate, and it kind of shows a certain amount of ineptitude in just understanding what the country is. Yeah, and so, which is why Club America is so important.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: The uh, it's the on the you know, who will do those jobs thing I think about.
00:05:50
Speaker 4: I think this is intuitive.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: For example, people realize with chat GPT, for example, if you ask chat gpt to write everything all right, all of your emails, example, or to write all of your homework assignments. I think people intuitively understand you lose the ability to do that. You make yourself dumb. You aren't able to do those things anymore. It could also be a tool, It can be a to it can be a tool, but if you become wholly dependent on a tool, you do actrophy your own abilities. So the answer to who will work in a meat packing plant or who will do anything else is well, the reason our people aren't doing that is because we have gotten ourselves hooked on this endless spigot of illegal labor. And that matters and so many things because we're de skilling ourselves.
00:06:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's excellent.
00:06:34
Speaker 6: I mean there's also no necessarily need to overcomplicate it. The answer is somebody will, like the will somebody will.
00:06:40
Speaker 4: But that's it.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: We we talked about this on the show a couple of weeks ago. Like we the American people, like we are resilient, like when the hardship comes, when the impossible it faces us, we figure it out, like it's just what we do. World War Two, we had the women in the warehouses making bullets and manufacturing arms and all these you know things in the US, Like we are of resilient people, but hardship must come first for us to become resilient. And we've just gotten used to this comfort life style with illegal labor on so many different levels. Where our society used to be you work really hard, like to build a house, you would have to save up the money for the lumber and work really hard and build the house, and then you can have the comfort of sitting down in the sanctuary of that house. But now we live in a society where you're renting all the time. The thought of buying a house is almost impossible. And then on top of that, there's programs like BNPL, which is buy now, pay later, where it's quite literally the opposite of work hard and reap the reward. It's you get the reward first and then you have a six part payment plan after the fact to work hard possibilities. So we're kind of like switching our values in the US of you know, we want comfort first and then consequences second, and the consequences of illegal labor and illegal you know, migration to this country are showing themselves. They're all backloaded, and that's a lot of decisions America has made. On the second one, are people voting for Democrats in these off your elections, They clearly are because Democrats are winning. They flipped the Miami government, our mayorship, which that's a blue city, but it's had a Republican mayor for a long time.
00:08:17
Speaker 4: They've won some other seats.
00:08:19
Speaker 2: There's other races where we win, but it's a place we won by forty and now we're winning by twenty.
00:08:24
Speaker 4: That's still not great.
00:08:26
Speaker 3: Multi local elections.
00:08:28
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And there's a few things that drive that. One is they're just fired up. We saw this Trump's first term. He very naturally fires up people who don't like him, and he has altered the Republican coalitions, so it gets more of those marginal, lower propensity voters. Yeah, so I keep having that thought. The young voters who voted for Trump last November, how many of them even know when there is an off year election happening. A lot of them just don't.
00:08:53
Speaker 6: I was gonna say it's a combination between Trump fires people up, but then also when Trump's in the White House, a lot of conservatives go, Okay, cool, we're good right now. Yes, And it's so it's it's a it's a double edged swordinary you gotta they get fired up and we kind of get uh.
00:09:09
Speaker 4: There's complacencies.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: There's also, let's be frank, there's weird. There's this element a lot of people like defeatism. It's sort of it's a little addictive to be negative. That's a real psychological temptation. So people there's a lot of people who are they're big quitters on you mentioned for example, you know, stuff that's taking effect in twenty twenty six. Deportations is a great example. People want there to be faster deportations. I want there to be faster deportations, but.
00:09:33
Speaker 4: We have fully secured the border.
00:09:36
Speaker 2: That's a huge win that people just barely even talk about. We have, as you said, no taxes on tips. I think that is a good example. If that's kicking in this next year, there are hopefully some of those lower propensity people see that win in their pocketbooks that next year can improve their mentality. Yeah, Charylie had always take complacency as a cancer, and so it's like it's typical Republicans to kind.
00:09:58
Speaker 4: Of get a win and then sit back and think everything fine.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: Where Charlie's mindset literally in this studio and this chair right here after the win in twenty twenty four.
00:10:09
Speaker 4: I just saw a video this last.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: Week Charlie literally thirteen minutes after it was declared that President Trump had won, thirteen minutes after Charlie texted his friends and said, let's start thinking about the data for the midterms. Like that is the mindset of a winner like Michael Jordan going to shoot shoot you, Like right after the victory part.
00:10:29
Speaker 3: You never get complacent. You're you're going you're worrying about the XT thing coming up.
00:10:33
Speaker 4: That was a great question. Took the whole segment on it. Yeah, thank you, Anthony. Are you ready to drop up?

00:12:07
Speaker 2: Someone pointed out John emailed, and he pointed out, I think in regards to who's gonna work a lot of jobs, we have a lot of underemployed people in America, he says, remember the forgotten men and women, the use six unemployment number. That's not just the big in the news unemployment. It's people who are discouraged so they're not looking. And it's people who are stuck in part time when they want to be full time. And there's fourteen million Americans in that pool of people. That's a lot of jobs that could be filled by Americans, not buy people imported to undercut wages from abroad.
00:12:39
Speaker 6: I was gonna say that sounds like fourteen million people who should get out of the country to make way for the fourteen million people who want to be full time employees.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: Don't don't don't pull that, don't do that. You know the math works. Okay, Frere replace Joe Bob great replacement director. All right, our next call is Brandon. Brandon, are you there on mute yourself and what's your question?
00:13:05
Speaker 4: Good morning, guys.
00:13:06
Speaker 10: My question is about the Amfest schedule. So it's obviously out, but I am not seeing any member exclusive events on there yet. I was wondering, you know, if there will be any and when can we expect to see them?
00:13:22

But Brandon, is there someone specifically that you want to see?
00:14:28
Speaker 10: I would like to see Matt Walsh honestly because last year I saw you know, Riley Gaines, Trump Junior and a bunch of people. But yeah, I would like to see Matt Walsh and Ali Stucky. I think I think she's coming to I'd like to see You're great.
00:14:40
Speaker 4: They're both great. Those are this are two great ideas? Love it all?
00:14:43
Speaker 11: Right?
00:14:44
Speaker 4: Alrighty? So is our next guy? Is this? Devn Devon? Are you there? Unmute yourself and what's your question?
00:14:50
Speaker 12: Can you guys hear me?
00:14:51
Speaker 6: All right?
00:14:51
Speaker 4: Yes, we can welcome all.
00:14:54
Speaker 12: Right, So I live in Indiana and uh yeah, I was really disappointed with the vote. So I saw all that Tyler posted full time positions for people to work for Tpaction in Indiana. Are there options for people who can instead do part time volunteer work for that?
00:15:12
Speaker 2: There certainly will be the most obvious one is if you're in or near one of those races, and Indiana is not that big a state, you should be pretty close. There will be a person who's going to be campaigning in that primary. Contact that campaign and say I'm ready to knock on doors, I'm ready to help with events, I am ready to help with your get out the vote. And this is one of those really high impact things. We love to point this out. The impact of one individual volunteer on a presidential race is low because a lot of people vote in a presidential race. The number of people who are voting in your party primary for a state senate race in May, that's going to be lower. Your impact as an individual can be that much greater if you're going out talking to people, knocking on doors, raising awareness, even just whipping your friends in your church or in your workplace, are in your social circle to vote if you turn out five voters, much bigger impact in a primary than in a general election, when.
00:16:08
Speaker 6: You can probably almost guarantee you that the squishy Republicans that are getting primaried will not have the same fervor on their side. So again, the same same concept of you know, you've got one side who's very, very.
00:16:20
Speaker 4: Gonna go whip up volunteers.
00:16:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got two Democrats back in Congress. Yeah, that go to war for that. I don't think they're going to have that many excited people.
00:16:29
Speaker 4: No, not at all.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna hold these people accountable.
00:16:36
Speaker 4: What did we call them the nasty twenty one a literation? Yeah, yeah, twenty one twisted twenty one, twisted twenty one. There they are, shame on them. Yeah, how else anyone else, anyone else? Devin could get involved?
00:16:52
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, there's always updates on the Turning Point Action website with races on the app or just following up Tyler Tyler is X is actually great for this going off happened?
00:17:06
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, right, yeah, it's a it's a great follow and then follow the candidates.
00:17:10
Speaker 2: Just get get immersed when you are aware of what's going on these opportunities will pop up quite organically.
00:17:15
Speaker 4: I believe.
00:17:18
Speaker 8: This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner of y Refi. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us. His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now hear Charlie in his own words, tell you about why Refi.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you guys about why refight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Why refi is incredible private student loan debt in America told us about three hundred billion dollars. Why refy is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to wyrefight dot com. That is why refight dot com. Do you have a co borrower? Why if I can get them released from the loan? You're going to skip a payment up to twelve times without penalty. It may not be available at all fifty states. Go to yrefight dot com. That is why are e f y dot com. Let's face it, if you have distress or default the student loans, it can be overwhelming because of privacit loan debt. So many people feel stuck. Go to y refight dot com. That is y R e f y dot com private student loan debt relief yrefight dot com.
00:18:27
Speaker 4: We've got a question from David. Next, David, unmute thyself and present thy question.
00:18:33
Speaker 3: Are we doing today?
00:18:34
Speaker 12: What you guys are doing?
00:18:36
Speaker 2: We're doing great other than the Indiana thing. We're annoyed about that, but we have to be happy warriors. Charlie would tell us to be.
00:18:43
Speaker 13: I wanted to. My question is similar to the guy that spoke earlier about you know, voting going back and voting for Democrats. How do we make people more aware of the bad policies that Democrats have against the public. You know, for instance, for example men and women's sports, abortion, and my one that I hate the most is paying for illegals.
00:19:15
Speaker 2: Well, the first step is to be informed yourself, and you can just do that. You can follow this program. We try to highlight that you can follow X is great. You follow guys like Chris Rufo who's often doing reports on this sort of thing, if you can find these good conservative sources who are able to generate detailed information about what's going on. As a great example, this entire Somali story in Minnesota that's a product of it was local blogging at power Line Blog. I love to tell those guys. And then Chris Rufo and his colleague, I think Ryan Thorpe was his name, they did a national story on it, and they got into the weeds on it where they said, here are these specific welfare fraud welfare programs that are being defrauded by this immigrant community, and if you are aware of that, you can share this with other people. Honestly, what's frustrating is the biggest problem I've seen over the years in describing insane things the Left does is what they do is so insane people just assume you're making it that up.
00:20:16
Speaker 4: That was a huge problem with the transgender thing.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: You're saying, yeah, they're saying men are actually women, and they want them in sports and in your bathroom and in your locker rooms, and they want them to hang out with your middle school girls. And you really needed hundreds of examples of this happening before they believe you, and they still don't believe you on some things like that in Oregon or California, you can lose custody of your kids if you don't want to go along with this, they can secretly trans your kid at school. It's I don't know if you have a thought on this job, but I genuinely have a hard time with the it's so crazy they don't believe you.
00:20:48
Speaker 6: That's, yes, a difficult problem to solve. I'm going to give you a ridiculous piece of advice that I don't even necessarily know that I would take. Well, I do it, but I don't know that you should necessarily take I. When I'm engaging with just people in the public, I always ask leading questions from like a you know, I don't ask do you go to church? I ask which church do you go to? And put them on the spot of saying yes or no to things. Sometimes I've am in a crowded elevator, I'll just randomly spread out we're all Republicans in here, right, and that just put that out there. I recognize that that's not the ground swell, like you know, knocking doors, hanging flyers, doing all that sort of stuff, But I think it's the everyday little things that actually matter a ton to kind of mobilize people to get involved. And if you do it in a way that kind of is like, well, it's obvious, of course, yeah, well, of course we're all Republicans, right, of course, we're all conservatives. Of course we all want these things that really, if you look at the polling, everybody does want. Then I think the average person who is not necessarily politically engaged will at the very least question, hold on, should should I be? This feels like this guy was so adamant about it, I feel weird. I'm out of place because I'm not engaged. And I don't know if that entirely answers the question or if it gives you a very odd way of going about doing it.
00:22:08
Speaker 2: But you have to be fourth right, you have to be proud, and you have to be informed, and it's informed. It's it's very it's tough because it is a big struggle. But what is great is when we do talk about these things, they do sometimes have to admit it. One of the most amazing things was after RUFO and the City Journal came out with their article on the Somali fraud. You know who else came out with an article on it. The New York Time, Times, the New York Times had they come out and in a New York Times article, this is the nerve center for liberal elite DC New York Bay Area. They all read the New York Times and the New York Times is telling them, Yeah, guys, Somali's are massively defrauding all these programs and tim Walls knew about it and didn't do anything about it because they knew these were a good Democrat voting block.
00:23:01
Speaker 4: It's a stunning story to read and.
00:23:04
Speaker 2: Wow, Honestly, if they don't believe you, if they don't believe the Charlie kirkshow if they don't believe conservative people on X, they might believe the New York Times. You might be surprised what they'll admit buried deep in the pages of liberal newspapers. It's like some of the best articles about why affirmative actions is a disaster.
00:23:23
Speaker 4: LA Times.
00:23:23
Speaker 2: The LA Times once did a very long series on there was affirmative action at a Los Angeles hospital and.
00:23:30
Speaker 4: It was named after MLK.
00:23:31
Speaker 2: They nicknamed it the locals called the Killer King because they made it a They hired based on race, and so they weren't hiring the best people, and so all their patients started dying. And so people would beg, don't take me to that hospital. Take me to the other hospital, even if it's farther away. There's no substitute for being informed. And I would just encourage you to read so much like Charlie would read every day. Really devour knowledge, facts, and you will make yourself prepared for battle. And that's one of the first steps towards waking people up. I feel, yeah, well, thank you, thank you, David, Thank you, David.
00:24:08
Speaker 4: Our next one, I believe our next Rennie? Is it Renny? I apologize, that's okay.
00:24:18
Speaker 7: It looks like Rennie, so I'm good. No from Louisiana.
00:24:24
Speaker 4: I thought that was Monta. No, no, no, it was.
00:24:27
Speaker 6: There's somebody who emails the Turning Point tonight show that has the same name, same spelling, and I've been.
00:24:33
Speaker 4: What's your question. Well, I just.
00:24:35
Speaker 7: Wanted to say thank you to you guys for continuing the legacy of Charlie. Before his death, he impacted me so much. I'm a teacher and I really wanted to get into education and make education great again. So before his death he inspired me to do that. After his death, I cannot tell you how much his death impacted me, and I switched. Just like Blake you were saying about devouring any book, any ideas. I rewatched his debates and I really got into the Bible. I was one of the sixty five percent of the Bible that sixty five percent of Bible sales went up, and I was one of them because I wanted to see what he was was what he was talking about, and I have devoured it. I went on to Proclaim three sixty five air because company, and I wanted to know will she continue. I know she's got a lot on her plate besides all of this nonsense on the Internet, but as CEO of Turning Point, well, she continued that in two twenty twenty six because Charlie said, let's make Kevin crowded. And I have been evangelizing since his death because he affected me so much. And I've got a small group of people and we want to use Proclaim three sixty five and go into the new year and really devour and get into the Bible and learn from both Erica and Pastor Cadiz no, I just wanted to see if if that will continue because he is expired. She is is just inspiring me so much as well. Well.

Speaker 4: And grateful for you guys. Yes, and who was it again? It was JJ Hayley. All right, So do they need to email? Are we going to reach out to the all right? Excellent? Awesome?
00:32:40
Speaker 2: All right, We have one last question we have We have Joe are you there, Joe on mute yourself. Oh he just left, No, all right, just left the room. But we still have his question he has when will you guys discuss the issue with Wall Street firms? Like Blackrock buying single family homes with baby boom, we're pension money artificially preventing the housing market from correcting so young people can actually afford to buy a gosh darned house. Charlie briefly mentioned this, and I'm not sure if that was part of the question, if it was Daisy pointing it out, but he says, when are we going to talk about this? And the answer is we have definitely spoken about it. Charlie especially he is either he or Daisy was correct. Charlie himself did talk about this. In fact, we have a great bit where he was with when he was with Gavin Newsom on the very first episode of his podcast Let's Do Clip three four three.
00:33:32
Speaker 1: Look the number one thing, which I know you're gonna agree with, and I'm sure you'll have a super slick response, right, that's that's about half true. But which is three the cost of housing average home in California in her fifty thousand bucks?
00:33:43
Speaker 2: I like, what about Blackrock?
00:33:46
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, I but that was interesting to me. I think that is.
00:33:48
Speaker 1: But again, that's not a majority of house purchasing. About one in four houses bought by private equity would you agree to say that Blackrocks should not be able to own homes in California.
00:33:56
Speaker 4: I think, and then turning around and renting. It's insane, Right, this is a huge problem.
00:34:00
Speaker 1: You shout post a bill in the California state. We've had one and didn't get very far last year, and there's more conversations. Right, tenn tillion dollar fund shouldn't be able to come in.
00:34:08
Speaker 4: It's not just black Rocks specifically.
00:34:11
Speaker 1: Mass mass asset managers that have a billion dollars fifty billion dollars ascent. Our management are now competing against our college grad from by the way, cal State Fullerton, and.
00:34:22
Speaker 2: We have one more. I just love it when we have these child cips that are very topical. So this is one who I was on Fox and Friends. I believe last summer, let's do clip three forty.
00:34:30
Speaker 1: Two, one out of four of all home purchases in the last year. We're out of these firms like Blackrock that come in and they are actually bidding out first time home buyers and younger Americans that want to be able to have their slice of the American dream.
00:34:45
Speaker 9: And m kid and young people know about that.
00:34:47
Speaker 1: They know about it, and they talk about it. In fact, when I do my campus tours, time after time, they say, Charlie, when are we going to stop Blackrock from being able to come in and purchase homes in our communities. I'm from Arizona. I think it's wrong that a first time home buyer Chandler or Mesa or Gilbert that's just scrapping together enough money that they can't has to compete against a ten trillion dollar private equity fund. And so I think these are some prudent decisions that we can make. We need to increase the supply. President Trump is exactly right about lowering interest rates. That's going to unleash a lot of capital and have a higher incentive to build homes.
00:35:20
Speaker 4: So I think that.
00:35:21
Speaker 2: Last part really is We're gonna keep talking about it, But that last part you don't just want to complain.
00:35:26
Speaker 4: You want to focus on solutions.
00:35:27
Speaker 2: Charlie talked about a moonshot for housing, and what he meant by that is we should treat it as a national goal. Build a ton of homes, just overwhelm the system. No private equity fund can prop up the price of housing to be super high if there's just more homes than there are people to live in them. Housing is cheap in countries that have a surplus of homes. So if we're building a million homes ringed around Phoenix, home prices here are going to go down.
00:35:52
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:35:53
Speaker 2: There's this clip that I found. It's a little too late to play it, but it's where Charlie's doing a prove me wrong. In this one student comes up and asks him, you know, how can we make it easier for young people to be able to afford homes? And Charlie puts black rock in private equity firms on blast, basically saying we need to make it affordable for young people and these private equity firms can't just be buying these up to rent them out for you know, investments in also airbnbs, etc.
00:36:17
Speaker 4: And the student goes, yeah, yeah, I agree with you.
00:36:20
Speaker 2: And so he's so obviously a liberal, But this is Charlie like he totally understood young people and their struggles and their needs. And he used to always say this thing. He would say, when was the last time you washed a rental car after you returned it? And the answer is always never, because you don't care and you don't have interest, or you're not invested in something that you rant.
00:36:43
Speaker 4: And that's the biggest thing to emphasize here.
00:36:45
Speaker 2: It's not that you know, just it's not that free enterprise is bad, but we have to recognize ownership is good. He talks about that good mam donism or maga. And when you have a direct state in society, when you own something, you are innately more conservative.
00:36:58
Speaker 4: But that's why we need loves.
00:37:00
Speaker 2: You can just have laws that incentivize personal ownership. You could tax large owners a little bit more. You could restrict foreign cash buyers, and you can just build more homes. When the price is lower, more people will buy it.
00:37:11
Speaker 4: Gobob go.
00:37:12
Speaker 6: Look into the Bozeman metropolitan area. They built a ton of housing and rent is down. Actually really interesting. Yeah, I know it's very very small example said, but yeah, building more housing works. Interesting.
00:37:25
Speaker 4: The rules of economics remains supply and demand. You're worth knowing you. There's probably a Hillsdale College course on that as well.
