Charlie Kirk Tells University of Washington Students Why American Values Are Under Attack from Within

[00:00] if you complain more than you produce

[00:03] you're typically on the left and if you

[00:05] produce more than you complain you're

[00:07] typically on the

[00:09] right because of

[00:12] that we have seen this pattern time and

[00:15] time again that those that are willing

[00:17] to take to the streets and are willing

[00:19] to destroy and get engaged in very nasty

[00:22] tactics we must remind ourselves that

[00:25] there is a reason for it because the

[00:26] enemy is not necessarily even Israel the

[00:29] enemy is not even America the enemy is

[00:32] our way of life it is freedom of speech

[00:34] it's the Constitution it's the fruits

[00:36] that we enjoy fundamentally and it is a

[00:39] decivilization movement and what do they

[00:42] want it's not actually even clear but

[00:44] they want to destroy what already is and

[00:47] I think that's what separates what many

[00:49] of you believe here tonight from the

[00:51] forces that you've been seeing outside

[00:53] which is if you go through those three

[00:54] questions it is very very important to

[00:57] emphasize that it is hard nearly

[01:00] impossible to build the country that

[01:02] you've grown up in you are growing up

[01:05] and it's less and less the case a

[01:07] wealthy country a decent country a

[01:09] country that affords you opportunity why

[01:12] is it that so few countries have been

[01:14] able to replicate what we have in the

[01:15] United States of America is it because

[01:17] we have better founding documents our

[01:19] founding documents are pretty awesome

[01:21] but other countries have tried and just

[01:23] because you have a good Constitution

[01:24] doesn't mean you have a great country

[01:26] just ask Liberia is it because we have a

[01:28] lot of Natural Resources we do have a

[01:30] lot of Natural Resources but that's not

[01:32] the reason why we're wealthy and

[01:33] Powerful Russia has a lot of natural

[01:34] resources and they're 130th as rich as

[01:37] we are despite being onethird the size

[01:40] of we are 130th as Rich onethird the

[01:43] size tons of natural gas tons of Natural

[01:45] Resources is because we have the most

[01:46] people we don't have the most people

[01:48] India is quadruple the population of

[01:50] America and they have a GDP per capita

[01:53] around $800 per person in India there

[01:56] are 600 million people without running

[01:59] water or toilets in India and for them

[02:01] that's actually a number that has gone

[02:02] down it used to be 750 million and it's

[02:04] now gone to 600 million what is it that

[02:07] makes this country so unique it is our

[02:09] values that make us unique and the

[02:11] fundamental American value that needs to

[02:13] be repeated to every young person in

[02:15] this country is that this country is not

[02:17] nearly as bad as you've been taught it's

[02:19] actually better than you've ever

[02:21] believed and if you work hard and play

[02:23] by the rules you can make something

[02:25] magnificent of your

[02:26] life and at the fundamental core of all

[02:29] that

[02:31] is gratitude how many of the people that

[02:34] are protesting endlessly and screaming

[02:36] at the sky are filled with gratitude or

[02:38] are they filled with ingratitude

[02:41] gratitude requires first and foremost

[02:43] recognizing that you are not the most

[02:45] important thing ever to exist in the

[02:47] history of the world if I were to

[02:49] venture a guest tonight the majority of

[02:51] you believe two things that there is a

[02:53] God and you are not him those two things

[02:55] are critically important cuz believing

[02:58] those things will then make you realize

[03:01] that you have somebody something to be

[03:03] grateful for secondly and I must I must

[03:07] end on this point then we'll do question

[03:08] and answer it is not a leap in my belief

[03:11] that Seattle being the most atheist city

[03:14] in America happens to be the hotbed of

[03:17] some of the most radical activity in

[03:19] this country you might say Charli that's

[03:21] a causation correlation it's not that

[03:23] man fails to believe in God it's who

[03:26] does he call God there is no such thing

[03:29] as an atheist

[03:30] there's just somebody who has replaced

[03:31] the traditional belief in the biblical

[03:33] god with the god of LGBT or the god of

[03:37] Earth worship or the god of anti-racism

[03:39] or the god of I want to protest because

[03:42] I'm so bored and tired of smoking weed

[03:44] and playing video games all day long

[03:47] what whatever you call God is what you

[03:49] will dominate in fact dare I say the god

[03:52] of Seattle life is much closer to a

[03:54] pagan belief system than an atheistic

[03:56] belief system which is that there

[03:58] symbols there are incant ations there

[04:00] are parades that make you feel as if

[04:03] you're important and part of something

[04:04] my belief system is that the death of

[04:07] the ethical monotheistic God which I

[04:09] believe is the god of the Bible the

[04:11] founding fathers agreed but we don't

[04:12] have to talk deeply about that if you

[04:13] don't want to is also the death of the

[04:16] West who are you to say what is good or

[04:18] what is evil if you cannot tell me what

[04:21] good and evil actually is and if that is

[04:23] transcendant or not if it is everybody's

[04:25] personal opinion then all that matters

[04:28] is power if it is if up or down right or

[04:32] left good and evil are merely an opinion

[04:34] then it matters who is actually issuing

[04:37] the opinion what made America different

[04:39] that value system that I've articulated

[04:41] is a Christian value system that we can

[04:43] call a western value system that if you

[04:46] believe that there is a God and you are

[04:48] not him and that God has commanded you

[04:50] to live a certain way the best way I

[04:52] could distill this and I know this is

[04:54] probably the least popular thing you

[04:55] could say on a college campus so I will

[04:57] repeat it for clarity to make sure you

[04:59] remind remember it is that if you live

[05:01] by the Ten Commandments your Society

[05:03] will flourish if you do not live by the

[05:06] Ten Commandments your Society will

[05:07] collapse you'll have no other gods

[05:09] before me you shall not make any Craven

[05:11] images you shall not take the lord's

[05:13] name in vain remember the Sabbath day

[05:14] and to keep it holy honor your mother

[05:16] and father so that may live long in the

[05:17] land of which you are in do not steal do

[05:20] not murder do not commit adultery do not

[05:22] covet and the 10th I can't remember

[05:24] someone can fill it in for me but um I

[05:27] might have repeated one um that's not

[05:29] bad though N9 out of 10 is not bad um

[05:31] thank you though I was just from memory

[05:32] so um did I I said covet murder covet

[05:35] murder steel adultery uh bear false

[05:38] witness thank you do not lie thank you

[05:39] very much do not bear false witness

[05:40] there they go thank you very much if you

[05:42] live by the Ten Commandments and you

[05:44] believe that there is a God that has

[05:45] issued those Ten Commandments for to you

[05:49] and you believe that they are

[05:50] Transcendent outside of your own opinion

[05:52] you will act differently I don't I don't

[05:55] believe this will be awfully persuasive

[05:57] for many of you but I believe it's

[05:59] important important to say that you are

[06:01] about to see the excesses of secularism

[06:05] in this modern era and you are living

[06:07] through it you are living through the

[06:08] most depressed suicidal anxious alcohol

[06:11] addicted generation history a generation

[06:13] that has been told that God is not cool

[06:15] go pursue your own truth and it is a

[06:18] catastrophe it's a catastrophe of kids

[06:21] that are looking for meaning that do not

[06:23] know what is right or wrong and what I

[06:25] am arguing for you is when you do that

[06:27] you have moral chaos be very very

[06:29] careful crashing down the gods of

[06:31] yesterday or the god of yesterday and

[06:33] saying I don't need that what you are

[06:35] living through is that moral chaos and I

[06:37] would love someone to go up to the open

[06:39] mic and tell me by what code of conduct

[06:41] you guys can live under or comes from

[06:44] that is proven to have a flourishing

[06:46] prosperous society that is better than

[06:47] the one that I have just articulated

[06:49] because we know that the one that I've

[06:50] articulated it doesn't just work for one

[06:52] people but for all people so to close in

[06:55] closing I'll just say this is that I I

[06:57] am so encouraged by what we see tonight

[07:00] we could not find a room big enough to

[07:02] fit all of the students that want to

[07:04] hear from this message here at the

[07:06] University of Washington we had to turn

[07:08] away over a thousand

[07:10] people this is remarkable

[07:14] because if you look at the polling gen Z

[07:17] men are the most conservative that they

[07:19] have been in the last 50

[07:23] years why is that the

[07:26] case because for all of you 189 19 and

[07:29] 20-year- old men out there in the

[07:31] audience you are sick and tired of being

[07:35] told that every problem in the world is

[07:38] because of you is that just because you

[07:41] are a young man and specifically a young

[07:44] white man that you have to apologize

[07:46] when you walk into the room that you

[07:48] have to apologize for quote unquote rape

[07:50] culture and being toxically masculine

[07:52] young men especially they want their

[07:54] country back they want to be able to own

[07:56] property get married have children not

[07:59] have to live under the fear that if they

[08:02] do not say the right thing the HR

[08:04] manager might walk into their office and

[08:06] obliterate their career they want to be

[08:09] able to say it's a good thing that we

[08:11] have men in society that we need strong

[08:13] men to defeat evil in this

[08:16] society and there is only one place

[08:18] where that sort of a message is

[08:20] resonating and it certainly is not on

[08:23] the American left on the American left

[08:25] is where androgenous beta males find a

[08:27] home where they're able to

[08:30] you know complain about their feelings

[08:32] all day long you guys can do that while

[08:34] the ascendant men in this country that

[08:37] are serious about their future serious

[08:39] about fighting evil join the

[08:41] conservative movement in record numbers

[08:43] to go build a country worth living in

[08:46] and to reject the forces that have been

[08:48] destroying it from within
