[00:00] a charlie kirk

[00:03] [Music]

[00:21] thank you

[00:23] hello cpac great to see you guys

[00:26] [Applause]

[00:27] it's uh it's great to be in a free state

[00:30] ron desantis is doing such a great job

[00:32] as any i mean he's been probably the

[00:33] greatest governor he's been unbelievable

[00:36] i want to thank cpac for having us it's

[00:38] so great to see so many grassroots

[00:39] activists from all across the country

[00:41] there's something special happening in

[00:43] america right now

[00:44] and

[00:45] a year ago when we met

[00:48] it things looked pretty bad now i

[00:49] understand things don't look great

[00:51] double-digit inflation border wide open

[00:54] you know all these crime going up but

[00:56] there's something that's happened in the

[00:57] last 12 months that is very significant

[01:00] and every single one of you have played

[01:03] a role in that

[01:04] you could have gave up

[01:06] this election the last election the 2020

[01:09] election was the most interfered with

[01:10] corrupt election in our lifetime we need

[01:12] to say that over and over again

[01:15] 400 million dollars from mark zuckerberg

[01:17] the inability to talk about these issues

[01:19] on facebook or google and it would have

[01:22] been very easy for all of you

[01:24] to give up instead the opposite happened

[01:28] and the people in charge of our

[01:30] government

[01:31] hollywood the media they couldn't really

[01:34] understand why all of a sudden

[01:36] my dad's kept on showing up to school

[01:38] board meetings across the country they

[01:40] couldn't understand why sudden people

[01:42] started to run for precinct committee

[01:44] positions they couldn't understand why

[01:46] the energy of the conservative movement

[01:48] only increased

[01:50] when they controlled everything and what

[01:52] we saw over the last year is the regime

[01:54] controlling every aspect of our life

[01:57] literally whether or not and how you can

[01:59] breathe

[02:00] vaccination status let me just say one

[02:02] thing no one should ever be forced to

[02:04] get a vaccine against their will period

[02:07] end of story hard stop

[02:11] and instead we have seen an

[02:13] unprecedented rise of the citizen in the

[02:16] last 12 months and the regime doesn't

[02:18] know where this is coming from cnn's

[02:21] ratings are collapsing

[02:23] their top cable news hosts are taking

[02:25] time off

[02:26] they're already

[02:28] getting ready they're bracing for impact

[02:31] for

[02:32] something completely and totally

[02:34] historic but i don't know about you but

[02:36] i don't just want to win i want to look

[02:38] at what's happening right now and i want

[02:40] to be part

[02:42] of an extinction event for the political

[02:45] woke left to put them into complete and

[02:49] total irrelevancy for the next 20 or 30

[02:52] years

[02:53] now in order to do that though

[02:55] we as conservatives must get our

[02:57] priorities right

[02:59] we must be very honest with each other

[03:02] and our leaders must be honest with you

[03:04] about what really matters

[03:07] you see we're a nation in multiple

[03:08] crises right now

[03:10] we are

[03:12] 30 trillion dollars in debt

[03:14] we have the most suicidal alcohol

[03:16] addicted drug addicted generation in

[03:19] history we got a lot of problems

[03:21] so we have to demand from our leaders

[03:25] not just solutions but direct

[03:28] addressing of what actually matters for

[03:30] example

[03:31] the u.s southern border matters a lot

[03:33] more than the ukrainian border

[03:39] in fact

[03:40] i want every republican leader that

[03:43] comes up on stage the next couple days

[03:45] to call what's happening on the southern

[03:46] border an invasion because two million

[03:49] people waltzed into our country this

[03:51] last year

[03:54] i'm more worried about how the cartels

[03:56] are deliberately trying to infiltrate

[03:58] our country then a dispute 5 000 away

[04:03] cities we can't pronounce places that

[04:05] most americans can't find on a map

[04:08] now i'm not defending the actions of

[04:10] dictators halfway across the world what

[04:12] i'm saying though is when your own

[04:13] country is falling apart i don't want to

[04:15] hear lectures about why we need to send

[04:17] our troops halfway across the world when

[04:19] we are being invaded

[04:29] priorities

[04:32] the left wants to talk about how men can

[04:34] become pregnant they can't

[04:37] men are men women are women there's only

[04:39] two genders and a story thanks for

[04:41] shopping

[04:45] these are smoke screen tactics to try to

[04:48] distract us from the fact that we lost

[04:50] over a hundred thousand people to drug

[04:52] overdoses in this last year

[04:54] they don't want you to talk about how

[04:56] the generation that i speak to

[04:58] college and high school kids

[05:00] they are being priced out of the housing

[05:02] market they're being told to go to

[05:04] college to study things that don't

[05:05] matter to find jobs that don't exist to

[05:07] borrow money they don't have

[05:09] everything costs twice as much in most

[05:11] the metropolitan areas of phoenix and

[05:12] dallas and orlando

[05:14] miami tampa

[05:16] instead our leaders want to talk about

[05:18] systemic racism or climate change the

[05:22] conservative movement must be very clear

[05:24] that we're going to talk about things

[05:26] that matter to our voters matter to

[05:28] american families and one of the things

[05:30] that we must be very clear about

[05:32] is how the lockdowns the vaccine

[05:34] mandates the mass mandates was

[05:36] generational theft now this might now

[05:39] some people in this audience don't want

[05:40] to hear this

[05:42] but it's immoral and it was wrong when

[05:45] we decided to deliberately hurt the

[05:48] younger generation

[05:50] to try to protect the older generation

[05:52] it was a moral

[05:54] tragedy on this country and our leaders

[05:57] need to talk about a national recovery

[05:58] program

[06:00] we need to talk about how we can elevate

[06:03] young people who do the three things

[06:04] that create conservatives you want to

[06:05] create conservatives we all do

[06:08] make it easier to buy a home

[06:10] make it easier to get married and make

[06:12] it easier to have children

[06:13] you have a lot more conservatives

[06:15] instead

[06:16] we have a generation of renters

[06:18] a generation of people that are the

[06:20] least married generation in history

[06:22] having the least children in history and

[06:24] we wonder why they find purpose in

[06:28] leonardo dicaprio greta thunderbird

[06:29] climate change type movements

[06:31] we wonder why they want to confiscate

[06:33] the wealth from business owners they

[06:35] don't own anything

[06:36] people that pay mortgages don't burn

[06:38] wendy's at night just

[06:40] good rule of life

[06:42] so we must demand from our leaders

[06:45] clear priorities of what actually

[06:47] matters so we have a choice

[06:50] we could do the republican party of old

[06:52] where we do nothing but talk about

[06:53] corporate tax cuts for the richest

[06:55] people we just talk about stopping

[06:57] socialism and the conversation ends

[06:59] there we talk about how we need to go

[07:00] send our beautiful and amazing armed

[07:03] service members

[07:04] to countries that have no relevancy to

[07:06] our immediate future or here's the

[07:08] amazing thing though

[07:09] if our conservative leaders learn

[07:12] something from our wonderful 45th

[07:14] president of the united states and

[07:15] actually decide to

[07:18] not just talk about but deliver some

[07:20] very common sense things such as

[07:22] representing the muscular class such as

[07:24] how about this

[07:26] the republicans should say what happened

[07:28] in canada what justin trudeau did

[07:30] against those canadian truckers is a

[07:32] moral outrage and a human rights abuse

[07:34] where's the republican party been on

[07:36] that

[07:36] so i'll say this in closing

[07:39] i want to win

[07:41] i don't want to win elections that's

[07:42] fine that's a small thing elections come

[07:44] and go

[07:45] i want to win the civilization

[07:47] i want to live in a country that is free

[07:50] i want to live in a country i recognize

[07:53] i want our leaders to care more about

[07:55] you and our fellow countrymen and our

[07:57] fellow citizens than some sort of

[07:59] abstract idea or some sort of undefined

[08:02] gdp number the conservative movement is

[08:04] trending towards a movement that will

[08:06] represent 60 70 80 percent of voters of

[08:09] all backgrounds and all colors it's

[08:11] going to require our leaders and you to

[08:14] make sure they do it the citizen is

[08:16] rising everybody and the regime has

[08:17] fallen we're going to win god bless you

[08:19] guys thank you so much

[08:28] you
