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 will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA 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. Here I am, Lord. Use me. Buckle up everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie Kirk. T. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Good evening. I'm Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action Together, the largest conservative grassroots organizations in the country. Thanks to our work, I talk to a lot of young people on campuses at our events on my radio show, podcast and social media. Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to. I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams and their fears. You see, young people are idealists. They respond to vision. For the past four years, they've seen the vision of the Biden Harris regime. That vision is you'll own nothing and be happy. The Democrats say instead of owning a home, you'll rent a 400 square foot studio apartment. Instead of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app. Their vision is this. Limit your dreams, give up, aim lower, be content with less. If you're a 20 something in America, life has been really tough. You've watched Home prices rise 47% since 2020. 47%. Homeownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year. Since I last spoke at the Republican convention four years ago, I've become a husband and father. In fact, we have two under two. I think I get extra points for that. For millions of people my age, that is a dream that feels farther away than ever under the Biden Harris administration. According to current projections, one third of today's young Americans will never get married. The average American is having fewer children than ever before. Why? It's because for far too many, they simply can't afford them. The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and millennials. You see, the American dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite. Happy countries have children. Broken countries have addiction, depression and suffering. Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry and work until they die childless. Under Biden, our young people own nothing and they are miserable. Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. When he was president, young people were richer than ever before. And he will do it again. Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright. One your grandparents and those before them gave everything to hand down to you. And listen carefully everybody. This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years. To all the Gen zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just for you. You don't have to stay poor. You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents. You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy. You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote. America's future is a series of choices. Our current state of slow motion national decline is a choice. This November, we're going to choose success. We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first. We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election. We together are going to do the work to save America. We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters. And all of us together working harder than ever. We will fire the Biden Harris regime and put Donald Trump back in the White House where he belongs. God bless you guys. Thank you so much.
