A (1:18)

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. That's why we are here. Hey everybody, hope you're doing great. We are crisscrossing the country literally to try to get our president reelected. And it was really interesting. I pulled open my computer very early this morning and flipped open my news consumption and I saw that an article the Washington Post did on our political vehicle, Turning Point Action, was on the front page of Drudge. Now, I don't necessarily go to Drudge anymore. Not exactly my favorite website. I think it's gone very far to the left. I prefer RealClearPolitics.com and also Revolver News, amongst other news aggregating websites. And I saw this article that the Washington Post did on us at Turning Point Action was traveling and kind of going viral, which was really perplexing to me. And if you read this article in the Washington Post, it's such an incredible nothing story. And it was about 1300 or 1600 words. And this reporter went out of his way to try to paint a picture that those of us at Turning Point Action are trying to misrepresent. Things on the Internet. So just very clearly at Turning point action, our 501c4 organization, we run a digital war room with volunteers and also paid staffers to help put forth positive messaging on the President and also put out facts about Joe Biden's record. This is called a digital war room. Anyone who's worked in politics before knows that this is very run of the mill. It's not anything out of the ordinary. Yet the Washington Post decided for whatever reason that this warranted a very big story. And then Drudge Report put on the front page of their website breitbart.com Alam Bukhari, and you guys heard him on our podcast, did a phenomenal counterpiece to this. His piece was terrific. Where and unfortunately because of the Washington Post's, let's just say, overzealousness, going after Turning Point Action and the work that we are doing now, mind you, the Washington Post went out of their way to try and contact these social media companies to misrepresent the activity that we were doing, which is really nothing more than a digital war room or influencer marketing because of this real life teenagers that were using their real accounts that love the President, have their accounts suspended and banned from social media. This article from Breitbart is a great counter to the Washington Post's attempted hit job on Turning Point Action, which ended up being one of the biggest swings and misses of the activist journalist landscape that I've seen in recent memory. That said, quote, Washington Post compares pro Trump teenagers to Russian trolls, gets them banned from social media media. And he said it best here. Alim Bukhari said conservative digital activists were smeared as behaving like, quote, Russian trolls by a recent article in the Washington Post. The writer also made sure to reach out to both Twitter and Facebook to get the teenage activists banned. Alam continues by going through the actual names and faces and stories of these teenagers that were doing nothing more than engaging in a volunteer network with some paid people as well and in a activist mindset on the digital landscape. And one of the activists, Paige Noonan, said the Washington Post completely misrepresented their behavior and misrepresented comments made to the newspaper by her father. Quote, I don't know why they put the article there. They totally misrepresented my dad. She also continued to say it's sick that the Washington Post and Twitter are working together to take away my right to free speech. Cuz she, a teenager now is completely kicked off of social media because the Washington Post in bloodthirsty fashion saw this story that where they were trying to attack Turning Point Action and the work we are doing to elect the President of the United States and they wanted to personally destroy anyone who is remotely associated. You go through and Alim does a great job of this on his article on Breitbart.com of the job postings on Democrats that are trying to do the exact same thing that we were doing. The Texas Democrat Party is currently advertising for a deputy digital organizing director who will recruit and manage an in state volunteer digital captains program to develop, curate and distribute grassroots generated content in support of Democrats up and down the ticket. The South Carolina Democrat is currently recruiting a digital organizing manager. The Kansas Democrat Party, it wants someone who will take care of personally executing voter contact through get what engaging digitally phone calls and texting. So what we were doing because of the shutdown and of the virus is we put our staffers and we put our grassroots organizers online to go contend for the President's reelection. On the digital landscape for the Washington Post they find such great exception for this. The Washington Post, for whatever reason, they are very triggered and they're very upset that there might actually be a grassroots groundswell and a concerted effort to to try to get this president reelected. On the digital landscape for them this is of great concern. So it's been a fun 24 hours dealing with the fallout of continually being on the front page of Drudge and Washington Post. But that's all part of the program. And all of you out there, you know exactly the price that is built into this fight. You know that if you are going to go above and beyond to try to support this president, you're going to continue to have activist members of the media go out of their way, try to misrepresent your positions and try to find something that isn't there. By the way, by the way, you go a level deeper. The Democrats are doing exactly this all the time. The Democrats have professional operations that engage in kind of digital activism and do things that are multiples more newsworthy than anything that we are doing. For example, they have actual activist campaigns that try to harass American and try to go after people they disagree with. That's what the Democrats are funding. In fact, there's job positions for it. So I want to thank Alan Bakari from Breitbart.com for defending us and for defending Turning Point Action, our political vehicle. And when you are being attacked by the Washington Post and the New York Times, that's how you know you are doing an effective job. Are you sick and Tired of overpaying for basic services. Who are home Internet, cable, utilities? Then of course there's your cell phone bill. Who's your wireless provider? AT&T Verizon. T Mobile. What if I told you that PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers? Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half? I know it sounds crazy. When I first heard about PureTalk I thought this is too good to be true. It was so easy. I kept my phone and they just sent me the SIM card. And now I'm getting the same great service I had before, but for half the price. And listen to this. Unlimited text and 2 gigs of data for just $20 a month. The average person is saving $400 a year. So why is it so much cheaper than AT&T Verizon and T Mobile? No retail stores, no billion dollar a year ad campaigns, no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for. So here's the deal. Grab your mobile phone and dial pound250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk and you'll save $250 off any iPhone, including the new iPhone SE. That's pound250 and say keyword Charlie Kirk. PureTalk USA. Simply Smarter Wireless. So I was slipping through RealClearPolitics.com I encourage you guys to check out this website. It's phenomenal. It's become my go to news aggregator. That and Revolver News. Revolver News. I have to say that RealClearPolitics.com there is this article out there that really caught my eye. I want to dissect it because it's a very important point and it's something that is just outside of the general news cycle. But we all talk about it said both candidates support Buy American. Both are wrong. It's by Andrew Wilford. Andrew Wilford at the end of the article identifies himself as a policy analyst with the National Taxpayer Union Foundation, a non profit dedicated to tax policy, research and education at all levels of government. He opens the article by saying this. There are plenty of differences to be found between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, but on one issue at least, they speak with one voice. Of course, on that issue, so called Buy American regulations. And they're both wrong. So President Trump has long said that Buy American High American is a cornerstone of his domestic policy from day one. Joe Biden, who of course plays follow the leader, that's what he does. He saw the effectiveness of that and rolled out his own $700 billion plus buy American campaign in early June of this year. But Andrew Wilford, who's a policy analyst with the National Taxpayer Union foundation, thinks that they're wrong because we want products made in our country. He said this while criticizing Trump. While President Trump signed into 2017 tax reform law, which encouraged foreign income repatriation and headquartering in the United States, he has also curtailed foreign trade in many harmful ways. Import taxes on American consumers have more than doubled on a President Trump, costing the average American household $555 a year. Well, never mind that. President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs act, which saved an Average American family $2,000 a year by government estimations. And the repatriation of jobs from overseas, spurred by the 2017 law, have helped establish record low unemployment across the country. And according to Bloomberg, it said US companies repatriated cash hit $1 trillion under the tax law as the end of 2019. But then he goes deeper into why he thinks things should not be made in this country now under doctrinaire and dogmatic Austrian economics, which I can resonate a little bit with when it comes to monetary policy and some other things, you would say that you never want any tariffs and you would want to have the most amount of comparative advantage possible. Now, in a lot of ways, I take exception with this. I used to believe that, oh, yeah, why wouldn't we want to have cheaper labor markets in Southeast Asia? I mean, we get more stuff for that. And then I look at the landscape of this country. I go to places like Hamilton, Montana, or Columbus, Ohio, or Charleston, West Virginia, and I drive by countless factories that were once flourishing, endless amounts of businesses that have closed. And I asked myself the question, where is the breaking point? Where all of a sudden the amount of manufacturing decay that you have in your country has resulted in a permanent underclass of people that are either addicted to opioids in a state of depression or go to government assistance. And then if they go to government assistance, it'll only mean that we have to raise our taxes in the future to help pay for the welfare state for the people that were once gainfully employed. So while, yeah, that might be that, we might have to pay a little bit more for a sweatshirt or a little bit more for a pair of sneakers or a little bit more for a backpack. What about the total cost for the society and the culture? And some people would say, such as Andrew Wilford seems like a nice guy. I'd be happy to talk to him. He says that we at all costs, must try to bring down the cost of production. This is a predominant think tank mentality that that in some ways has plagued our government for decades, namely on the right. He continues by saying on this issue, neither candidate has the right vision for a productive American economy. I'd be very interested in hearing from Andrew how unproductive the American economy was prior to the Chinese coronavirus. I think the author knows that answer, but he doesn't want to talk about it. This article feels as if it was influenced or written on behalf of corporate interests. Corporate interests that quite honestly are okay with the 12 million manufacturing jobs that were shipped overseas. And it's not just the jobs themselves. It is the churches in those communities that then see declining tithes. It is the schools that see a declining tax base. It is the small business owner on the side of the street, the restaurant, the laundromat. It is the soul of these communities that fall within the weight of themselves. And it gets even worse than that. We've talked about this before on our program where we're trying to pick apart what is driving the arson and the unrest happening in our country. Why are we seeing the repeated cycles of destruction? Who is doing this destruction? One of the major reasons this is happening in our country is because the people that are doing the destroying don't own anything. They're renting, they are verticalized, they're not horizontal. One of the main reasons why young people are taking to the streets is they're not building equity. Because when they're 27, their life looks the same. When they're 32 or they're 37, in fact, despite working hard and playing by the rules, they actually don't see their lives get materially or incrementally better. A lot of the hyper urbanization push in our country is because middle America, rural America, that used to have communities that were 20 to 30,000 people, we used to have communities like that all across the country. Went from 20,000 people to 8,000 people. Where did those people go? They moved to bigger megaplex cities. They started to verticalize their lifestyle. They stopped thinking about owning land or preserving a specific cultural identity. They stopped focusing or looking at supporting the small business owner on the side of the street or the local coffee shop and said they go shop at Starbucks now. Mind you, I'm all for the efficiency of Starbucks. I think it's a good thing that you're able to order coffee 10 minutes down the street and have it waiting for you. I think that free market, innovation, enterprise is a very beautiful thing. I really do. However, when it becomes so hyper corporatized, where the only thing that we care about is the optimal level of productivity. And you don't care about wages, you don't care about family formation. When you don't care about living a quiet and peaceable life. I think that balance is extremely important. Especially, and I encourage all of you to do this. If you live in a major city called Go, take a drive from your major city on a major interstate and just take an exit. Take an exit where you have bad cell service. That's my challenge to you. Might be through Nebraska, might be South Dakota, Iowa, Virginia, and go 20 miles off the grid and go to these cities, these cities that tend to be 10 to 15 miles apart for a reason, because that used to be the half day capacity of transporting grain or goods on horseback. There's a reason why it's almost laid out in a grid fashion in that part of the country. And drive around that town and then go into the small business there, go visit the church and just ask questions. What did this town used to be? Has it flourished or has it decayed? Have most people moved out from here? And some of you might say, well, that's a good thing. You know, people need a call to adventure. I totally agree. Absolutely. But when can something that sounds good all of a sudden become a bad thing? If you get too much of that thing. And that's exactly what's happened. And so our addiction to cheap plastic products from China and a complete betrayal of any sort of Buy American economic position has resulted in a middle class that is quickly disappearing. He continues in this article by saying, quote, trump has flirted with Buy America rules specifically targeting medical supplies, a potentially disastrous idea in the midst of a pandemic. While a strong domestic industry prepared to manufacture medical supplies is a laudable goal, the American economy has already gone into overdrive, producing all kinds of pandemic supplies, restricting supplies from other countries that only reduce Americans access to these products. This is just parsing out a positive response to a pandemic to find a narrative suiting negative. So explain to me Andrew Wilford from the National Taxpayer Union Foundation. I'd love to talk to you. Why would it be a bad thing if we made vitamin C in our country? Why wouldn't it be a good thing if all of a sudden we made penicillin again in our country? Why do we need to wait for China to ship us Advil? Why was it a good thing that we weren't making personal protection equipment here? Why should other countries dominate our manufacturing base? See for Andrew, and this is the way he views the world and many other corporate Republican types. The only thing they care about is the optimal comparative advantage and the profit at the end of the transaction. And mind you, I'm all for profit. I think that profit should be incentivized. I think you should be able to keep your profits and the profit's a good thing. I think without profit you do not have a market when is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs?

Now lots of nations work hard, but the difference between poverty and prosperity are those three skill, dexterity and judgment. Now Americans have a lot of skills. We do. And a skill that we have decided no longer matters on the socio economic landscape is working with your hands. I was in Winnetka right before the shutdown, right before the big Chinese virus shutdown. It was early March and late February. Right around that time I was talking about how we have too many people going to four year college in our country. I was talking about how because we have so many people going to four year college in our country, 59% graduate. That means 41% of people that go to four year college do not graduate. 41%. And out of the people that do graduate, 44% are employed in positions that do not require a college degree. That is a stunning indictment of higher education. In fact, that is a categorical failure for higher education. So the question should then be, do we have too many people going to college? The answer is, of course we do. We don't have enough plumbers, electricians, carpenters, welders. And so this audience in Winnetka, Illinois, very nice people, and a lot of them are my dear friends. And for those of you who don't understand, those that don't know Winnetka, Winnetka is very high class, some would call it elite. Highland Park, Dallas is similar to this. La Jolla Del Mar, Beverly Hills. You kind of get the type of community I'm talking about. Winnetka is the richest part of the North Shore of Chicago. So as I was talking about how we have too many kids to go to college, I was starting to win over the audience and they said, yeah, we absolutely agree. And then I asked a question. I said, how many of you want to see your kid become a plumber? And they laughed. They almost, in a immediate fashion, they said, well, not my kid. As if I was saying, how many of you want your kids to become heroin addicts? It's like they were equating being a plumber with being a drug dealer. That's how much repulsion they had to the idea of possibly working with your hands. So then I took a step further into it. I said, well, why is that? Someone raised their hands. They're like, well, I want my kid to work in the information sharing economy, not in the hands on economy, for lack of a better term. I said, why? He said, well, I want my child to be someone that's sharing ideas, not just moving pieces around. And I said, this is the problem with our country. One of the problems with our country is the continuous and deliberate debasing and the delegitimization of middle class work. And so for Andrew Wilford here, who this piece is just a data point on a landscape that you're going to see start to pop up again, win or lose, post Trump. Whether Trump wins in November or loses in November, you're going to see more articles like this. Well, now that we tried this crazy Buy American thing, can we stop that? Let me tell you a story about pickup trucks. Every time I see a pickup truck driving down the street, I smile. Do you know that we have an import tariff for pickup trucks in our country of 25%? It was actually put on by mistake by Lyndon Baines Johnson, he actually didn't do it intentionally. So that means that any other country that makes a pickup truck and they bring it into America, there's a 25% import tariff on it. 25%. And so in the 60s and 70s, the biggest car manufacturers were of course American. But pickup trucks weren't really made in America. It was a military converted vehicle. They were very rare to. They were only in the countryside. They were not widely produced. Japan and Germany were the two biggest car manufacturers outside the United States, mainly Toyota and Nissan. And of course in Germany you have BMW, Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi are the big car manufacturers in Germany. They made a decision that they were just going to get out of the pickup truck market. They didn't want to do it, eh? Who's going to buy pickup trucks? So because they didn't want to pay the 25% import tax. So this tax is on the books. And I admit it's a tax, a tariff is a tax. But what ends up happening, Ford, Chrysler and GM run straight into the pickup truck market, especially Ford and gm. The pickup truck becomes one of the most desired vehicles in the country throughout the 70s and 80s and we're the only country that makes it. Not because that Germany and Japan didn't want to. Now you might be thinking, but Charlie, doesn't Toyota make pickup trucks? You're right, but do you know how they get around the tariff? Do you know how they get around not having to pay the tariff? They make it in our country. So while it might be a foreign company, they're making it here. So every time I see a pickup truck, I know that an American family is eating tonight because that truck is on the road, even if it's a Nissan, even if it's a Toyota. And that's just one of the successful tariffs that we've put on the books. And I say this as a free market person, but I'm a patriot before I'm a capitalist. And so insofar that there is just this dogmatic repulsion to say that we can't have any form of recalibration of trade, I say prove it. And he doesn't. Andrew Wilford in this article, who's just basically a mouthpiece and in a lot of different ways articulating the corporate mindset that dominated the Republican Party that quite honestly I for quite some time parroted before I actually drove the middle part of this country and realized and recognized that piles full of plastic and garbage coming from China and coming from Vietnam are not making our country any wealthier. In fact, there's also, it's more. There's other metrics that we should judge success for in our country, such as can middle class families pay their medical bills? Can middle class families educate their children on having to go into debt? Can middle class families afford to go on two vacations a year? In 1985, it took 35 weeks of work for a family of four to be able to sustain itself. Now it takes 53 weeks of work, which forces the woman to go into the workforce. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing. If women want to go into the workforce, that's a terrific thing. The issue, it's now forced, the issue is that women now have to go into the workforce just to be able to sustain a middle class lifestyle. That's not a good thing. I don't care how many toys and gadgets that you can get for your children that you end up putting in your garage and begging people to take it away from you. I would much rather have American made products and less of them that cost more than piles of stuff made in China that I have no connection to whatsoever that was made unethically and at the cost of the strength and the backbone of our country. I think it's a good thing that President Trump has brought back steel production to our country. I think it's a good thing that he wants to make us the drug store of the world. I think it's a good thing that we are seeing a renaissance of manufacturing be restored back in our country. We, as the third largest country on the planet, as the wealthiest country on the planet for now, have the intellectual capacity, the entrepreneurial grit, the access to capital markets and a incredible future ahead of us. Quite honestly, we should be the export capital of the world where our country is looked to for critical infrastructure. Any country that does not have a stable manufacturing base will not also have a middle class. And President Trump knew this instinctively. When running a business, HR issues can kill you.

That's Bambi.comkirk spelled Bam to the B.com Kirk and Drew continues in his article by saying quote in the face of such policy, Trump's tax policy that brought American businesses home. Biden's approach would go right back to the old system. But worse, not only would he return to a worldwide system of taxing income from foreign assets, but he would charge a 10% offshoring surtax. So at least this article is fair and it's not a pro Biden article. Give him credit for that because Biden's tax policy is a complete and total disaster. Tax policy should always benefit the country of which the tax policy is being created in, which is low taxes incentivizing American investment and also making middle class families life's easier. But here's the thing. The more likely effect wouldn't be to prevent American multinationals from offshoring jobs. It would be to prevent them from headquartering their operations in the United States in the first place. The solution to jobs and tax bases moving overseas is not to try to punish businesses that seek out profitable ventures overseas. It's to create a more business friendly United States tax system that encourages businesses to invest and grow right here. I completely agree with that. But you also need to incentivize through trade and and prioritize middle class workers. I would much rather see 500,000 more American middle class workers find meaningful work than 500,000 people in some other country find work that is doing good by the citizens that elected you. That is the mandate that you have as an elected leader in our country. And so to go back to the top of the article, it says both candidates support Buy American. Both are wrong. Andrew Wilford is wrong here. He's wrong. When I see Made in America, I know that an American patriot and that family is eating tonight. There are plenty of struggling families out there that do not have work because we ship the jobs overseas that have lots of stuff. And if you ask them would you get rid of the piles of plastic, the endless amounts of textiles that you bought from Walmart for a meaningful job, they would say yes in an instant. So when you ship careers overseas, you ship dreams overseas. There's a direct connection to the rise in the suicide rates, alcoholism, opioid Addiction and the lack of religiosity in our country, when that form of professional expression evaporates, Buy American is not just admirable, it's moral. The rest of the world should be forced to make products. Here in this country, you know what will end up happening. Wages will go up, schools will flourish, churches will have record amounts of tithes. And the socialist movements that are catching fire in our country because of the corporatist mindset that Andrew Wilford is articulating will be quelled. Under Andrew Wilford's world of no tariffs, appeasing corporate interests, and nothing made in this country, you will become a socialist country very quickly. Socialism is easily sold to people out of work and people who have seen their lives destroyed, like most of middle America and lots of young people. The solution is to say we want entrepreneurs to invest in our country. We are not a small Western European country with just 15 million people. We have access to capital, energy and talent, the three things you need to succeed in a lot of different ways. The trade that we have done with these third world markets may have benefited us in the Ricardo law of comparative advantage. Maybe not dismissing that, but generally, did it make our country richer in culture, richer with stronger families? Did it help keep families together? Or did the divorce rate also go up? Did single fatherhood also go up? How about the manufacturing plants that once existed in Baltimore that were shipped overseas, and the black community that was impacted, but according to the National Taxpayer Union foundation, they think that's okay. They think, no, it's great because then all the black families in Baltimore can get sweatshirts for $10 instead of $20. They think it's great because then you can get headphones for $80 instead of $150. Meanwhile, all those plants in Baltimore that were the tax base, that were the place of meaning, that kept the community together, that kept the crime rate low, shut down? And what do you think people are going to do? What sort of activity do you think they're going to indulge in? This is why President Trump's Buy American position is so important. And it's very important that when we see this corporatist nonsense that is shared in op eds, opinion pieces and interviews, that we challenge it. It is the moral position and it is the economically correct position to say that we want our country to lead in advanced manufacturing, to lead in textile manufacturing, to lead in intellectual development. The failure for America to do so will only spell doom for the American middle class and with it, the future of the greatest country ever to exist. And I'M actually optimistic because I believe that we can have our best days ahead of us for making things in this country, taking risks and flourishing. That's a future I want, but not one that the biggest companies amongst us want, but the ones that Andrew Wilford and the National Taxpayer Union foundation tend to represent. Again, I'd love to have them on our podcast. I think it'd be a lot of fun. This is why we must secure four more years for President Trump so that we make things in our country.
