who are you
my name is charlie kirk and i love
america
because i love talking with people i
disagree with what have you done
started an organization that's now on a
thousand plus campuses to save the
greatest culture and country ever to
exist highest vets and higher sets
and i've had thousands of hours of
conversation
about these ideas
is it necessary
well considering i've been assaulted
followed stockton
things thrown at me the greatest
protection i have is cameras
it's a public space
one second
it's all good
but what country would you say is
greater than this one
i just said i mean we take in
your definition of great
i mean we are the
you say that the united states of
america
has always done it has always made the
greatest decision because nobody's
perfect right no i never said america
was a perfect country
nor have we made a lot of mistakes any
other country has done anything right no
no no no no that's not what i'm saying
because from an objective analysis
objective
correct a world history
hello how are you yeah
we are the most creative the most
accepting the most benevolent the most
generous most forward-thinking and
productive country ever to exist
we are a country that sent 37 000 of our
own citizens to die on the korean
peninsula so south korea could exist and
we asked for nothing in return no
country's ever done anything close to
that
we sent a military education
reading history
what did i how is that not true what i
just said
no but
what am i saying that's untrue americans
gave away 500 billion dollars to charity
last year
voluntarily
we've taken half of the world's
immigrants
do half know that only five percent of
the money that you put into a non-profit
or a charity even has to be used
so more than they make on interest you
realize so most charities and most
foundations will use 90 plus percent of
the the net assets they get every single
year
what
now you can look at the ir you can look
at the irs website i understand what i'm
saying might bother you but we're also
the most accepting least racist most
diverse multi-racial country in the
world by far
we've been
okay how
look at the united states
we've taken half the world's immigrants
every single year
so other countries
most america's not living in poverty
yes really
we're the richest country in the world
by far we have an american middle class
it's a uniquely american concept
down the street and seen all the
homeless people excuse me i grew up in a
gang gang infested neighborhood so you
want to talk to more people i'm talking
and we're talking to you from a
perspective of people
you know that america's poor actually
and the richest 1 in the world
a remarkable
no what i'm saying is that a very poor
person in america is relatively
extraordinarily rich by world standards
because they have yes to air
conditioning medical care cable
television wi-fi transportation access
to medical care
uh 90 plus percent
what is medicaid tell me what medicaid
is
45 million poor americans have access to
health care through a medicare they
reach the median level of income but
they can't afford their medical bills
they can go on medicaid that's what
medicaid is for
