1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show, as we remembered Charlie Kirk. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: This week, we decided on this one of our weekend 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: podcasts to take you to the twenty twenty four Republican 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: National Convention. Charlie gave a speech that I would call inspirational, 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: not political in nature, and it spoke to all Americans, 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: and specifically, as he was so good at it spoke 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: to the youth of our nation, which Republicans are not 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: real good at doing typically, and what their future would 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: look like after a Trump victory. 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen. Charlie Kirk, thank you, everybody, Thank you. 11 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: Good evening. 12 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 4: I'm Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and Turning 13 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 4: Point Action, together the largest conservative grassroots organizations in the country. 14 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 4: Thanks to our work. I talk to a lot of 15 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: young people on campuses at our events, on my radio show, 16 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 4: podcast and social media set differently, I visit college campuses 17 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 4: so you don't have to. I hear a lot from 18 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 4: young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. 19 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 4: You see, young people are idealists. They respond to vision. 20 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: For the past four years, they've seen the vision of 21 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: the Biden Harris regime that vision is you'll own nothing 22 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 4: and be happy. The Democrats say, instead of owning a home, 23 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: you'll rent a four hundred square foot studio apartment. Instead 24 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 4: of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app. 25 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: Their vision is this limit your dreams, give up, aim lower, 26 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: be content with less. If you're a twenty something in America, 27 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 4: life has been really tough. You've watched home prices rise 28 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 4: forty seven percent since twenty twenty, forty seven percent. Home 29 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 4: ownership is now out of reach unless you make over 30 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 4: one hundred and six thousand dollars a year. Since I 31 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: last spoke at the Republican Convention four years ago, I've 32 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: become a husband and father. In fact, we have two 33 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: under two. I think I get extra points for that. 34 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: For millions of people my age, that is a dream 35 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 4: that feels farther away than ever under the Biden Harris administration. 36 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: According to current projections, one third of today's young Americans 37 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: will never get married. The average American is having fewer 38 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: children than ever before. Why It's because for far too 39 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: many they simply can't afford them. The basic things our 40 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 4: parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach. For gen Z 41 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: and millennials. You see, the American dream has become a 42 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: luxury item for the wealthy elite. Happy countries have children, 43 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: Broken countries have addiction, depression and suffering. Democrats have given 44 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, 45 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: while gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that 46 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: they can never own a home, never married, and work 47 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 4: until they die childless. Under Biden, our young people own 48 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: nothing and they are miserable. Donald Trump refuses to accept 49 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. When 50 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 4: he was president, young people were richer than ever before, 51 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 4: and he will do it again. Donald Trump is on 52 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 4: a rescue mission to revive your birthright. One Your grandparents 53 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: and those before them gave everything to hand down to you. 54 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: And listen carefully, everybody. This is why young men are 55 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 4: the most conservative that they have been in fifty years. 56 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: To all the gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok 57 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 4: right now, I have a message just for you. You 58 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: don't have to stay poor. You don't have to accept 59 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: being worse off and your parents. You don't have to 60 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: feel aimless and unhappy. You don't have to support leaders 61 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 4: who lied to you and took advantage of you for 62 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: your vote. America's future is a series of choices. Our 63 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: current state of slow motion national decline is a choice. 64 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: This November, We're going to choose success. We're going to 65 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 4: choose to put the future of Americans first. We are 66 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: going to choose to no longer be spectators. This election, 67 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: we together are going to do the work to save America. 68 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, 69 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 4: to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters, 70 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 4: and all of us together, working harder than ever, we 71 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 4: will fire the Biden Harris regime and put Donald's T. 72 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 4: Trump back in the White House where belongs.
