[00:01:26] Good evening, I'm Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, together the largest conservative grassroots organizations in the country. [00:01:42] 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. [00:01:50] Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to. === Life's Tough Choices (04:44) === [00:01:58] I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. [00:02:05] You see, young people are idealists. [00:02:09] They respond to vision. [00:02:11] For the past four years, they've seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime. [00:02:18] That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy. [00:02:23] The Democrats say, instead of owning a home, you'll rent a 400-square-foot studio apartment. [00:02:30] Instead of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app. [00:02:35] Their vision is this. [00:02:37] Limit your dreams. [00:02:38] Give up. [00:02:40] Aim lower. [00:02:41] Be content with less. [00:02:44] If you're a 20-something in America, life has been really tough. [00:02:48] You've watched home prices rise 47% since 2020. [00:02:54] 47%! [00:02:55] Home ownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year. [00:03:02] Since I last spoke at the Republican convention four years ago, I've become a husband and father. [00:03:10] In fact, we have two under two. [00:03:13] I think I get extra points for that. [00:03:17] For millions of people my age, that is a dream that feels farther away than ever under the Biden-Harris administration. [00:03:26] According to current projections, one-third of today's young Americans will never get married. [00:03:31] The average American is having fewer children than ever before. [00:03:36] Why? [00:03:37] It's because, for far too many, they simply can't afford them. [00:03:43] The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and Millennials. [00:03:50] You see, the American Dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite. [00:03:58] Happy countries have children. [00:04:00] Broken countries have addiction, depression, and suffering. [00:04:06] 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. [00:04:22] Under Biden, our young people own nothing and they are miserable. [00:04:26] Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. [00:04:37] When he was president, young people were richer than ever before, and he will do it again. [00:04:45] 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. [00:04:58] And listen carefully, everybody. [00:05:00] This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years. [00:05:14] To all the Gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just [00:05:20] for you. [00:05:20] You You don't have to stay poor. [00:05:24] You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents. [00:05:27] You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy. [00:05:30] You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote. [00:05:35] America's future is a series of choices. [00:05:39] Our current state of slow-motion national decline is a choice. [00:05:48] This November, we're going to choose success. [00:05:52] We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first. [00:05:58] We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election. [00:06:04] We together are going to do the work to save America. [00:06:09] We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters. [00:06:18] 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. [00:06:30] God bless you guys. [00:06:31] Thank you so much. [00:06:33] Thanks so much for listening, everybody. [00:06:34] Email us as always freedom at charliekirk.com. [00:06:37] Thanks so much for listening and God bless.
