Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.504
Joining us now is a good friend of mine
00:00:15.338 --> 00:00:17.607
And host of the katie miller podcast.
00:00:17.607 --> 00:00:20.643
It is katie miller.
00:00:20.643 --> 00:00:21.778
Katie, great to see you.
00:00:21.778 --> 00:00:23.413
Thank you for joining the show.
00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:24.714
Congratulations on your podcast.
00:00:24.714 --> 00:00:26.282
Tell our audience all about it.
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:28.384
Thanks, charlie.
00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:29.085
And the podcast.
00:00:29.085 --> 00:00:30.286
We're in our third episode.
00:00:30.286 --> 00:00:33.123
Last night, really?
00:00:33.123 --> 00:00:33.957
Since 6 p.m..
00:00:33.957 --> 00:00:34.657
Katie boy.
00:00:34.657 --> 00:00:35.158
Britt.
00:00:35.158 --> 00:00:35.892
The us youngest female senator.
00:00:35.892 --> 00:00:38.428
She talks a lot about what life is like in the senate.
00:00:38.428 --> 00:00:41.097
It's very lonely going from being a staffer to a senator.
00:00:41.097 --> 00:00:43.933
She says she also talks a lot about being sorority
00:00:43.933 --> 00:00:47.403
Recruitment chair and sorority
00:00:47.403 --> 00:00:48.738
Present the university of alabama.
00:00:48.738 --> 00:00:50.173
It's a very exciting time.
00:00:50.173 --> 00:00:51.808
Our first episode is with jd vance
00:00:51.808 --> 00:00:54.544
Where he talks about cooking breakfast for his kids
00:00:54.544 --> 00:00:56.880
And what is his daily life like,
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.281
And how does he make his marriage work with usha
00:00:58.281 --> 00:01:00.717
And the face of such public scrutiny on their marriage?
00:01:00.717 --> 00:01:03.820
You know, there isn't a place online for conservative women
00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:07.023
To truly just have an audience
00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:08.491
For themselves to gather, to talk.
00:01:08.491 --> 00:01:11.127
You know, too often we hear about the message is,
00:01:11.127 --> 00:01:14.297
You know, here's why we're waiting to have kids
00:01:14.297 --> 00:01:16.199
Or here's why you don't need a man.
00:01:16.199 --> 00:01:18.601
And i find that to be the incredible opposite.
00:01:18.601 --> 00:01:20.904
And so we should have a place where women can do that.
00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:23.072
That's what the podcast is all about.
00:01:23.072 --> 00:01:24.741
It's what it's for.
00:01:24.741 --> 00:01:26.009
We're on youtube, spotify, apple rumble,
00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:29.779
And you can, like, subscribe.
00:01:29.779 --> 00:01:32.148
And i appreciate the chance to tell your audience
00:01:32.148 --> 00:01:33.917
About it, charlie, because it really is
00:01:33.917 --> 00:01:35.818
Something we're missing in the conservative space.
00:01:35.818 --> 00:01:38.588
You know, katie, this is so important,
00:01:38.588 --> 00:01:40.557
And it's the katie miller podcast.
00:01:40.557 --> 00:01:42.058
I encourage everyone to check it out.
00:01:42.058 --> 00:01:43.493
And you have a great marriage.
00:01:43.493 --> 00:01:44.694
Your husband, stephen miller, is doing a phenomenal job
00:01:44.694 --> 00:01:47.163
Every single day fighting for our nation.
00:01:47.163 --> 00:01:49.432
Katie, talk about that because there are young ladies
00:01:49.432 --> 00:01:52.702
That will come up to my campus events
00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:54.237
And they say, i don't need a man.
00:01:54.237 --> 00:01:56.172
I don't want to get married. it's a terrible thing.
00:01:56.172 --> 00:01:58.508
I just want to pursue my career.
00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:00.977
Katie, what is your response to it?
00:02:00.977 --> 00:02:02.579
I mean, you have a very successful career.
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.614
You have three kids.
00:02:04.614 --> 00:02:06.115
You have a great marriage.
00:02:06.115 --> 00:02:09.118
What insight do you have towards the pushback
00:02:09.118 --> 00:02:12.188
That you would receive
00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:13.423
From some of these young ladies that i talked to on campus?
00:02:13.423 --> 00:02:16.693
I see you on campus all the time,
00:02:16.693 --> 00:02:18.394
Charlie, talking to young women.
00:02:18.394 --> 00:02:19.829
And i would say
00:02:19.829 --> 00:02:20.430
It's really important
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:21.664
In my life, especially that having a marriage
00:02:21.664 --> 00:02:23.967
And having a family has made my life richer and better.
00:02:23.967 --> 00:02:26.803
I for for my own self.
00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:28.137
I feel like i got married late in life at 28.
00:02:28.137 --> 00:02:30.440
I wish i would have found stafford sooner.
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:33.042
In my situation is that i was communications
00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:36.512
Director to steve gaines, to martha mcsally.
00:02:36.512 --> 00:02:39.048
I was over at the department of homeland security and
00:02:39.048 --> 00:02:41.751
President trump's first term, which is how i met my husband.
00:02:41.751 --> 00:02:45.388
Talking about the need to secure our secure
00:02:45.388 --> 00:02:47.357
Our borders and build a wall,
00:02:47.357 --> 00:02:49.158
Which i'm so glad president trump is doing now.
00:02:49.158 --> 00:02:51.995
But truly, what
00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:53.396
What i saw is that i went from being a communications
00:02:53.396 --> 00:02:56.566
Director to a vice president.
00:02:56.566 --> 00:02:57.800
I had three kids in four years, and then i was a top
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.504
Advisor to elon musk in president trump's second term.
00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:05.508
And what i found is that you can have kids.
00:03:05.508 --> 00:03:07.744
My own career has proven.
00:03:07.744 --> 00:03:09.112
Don't worry about that gap on your resume.
00:03:09.112 --> 00:03:11.147
Like i was always taught
00:03:11.147 --> 00:03:12.615
That you would have this gap and you would never be able
00:03:12.615 --> 00:03:14.917
To have the career
00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:16.319
That you can imagine for yourself,
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.887
Because kids will just knock you out.
00:03:17.887 --> 00:03:19.455
And it's just it's not the case for me
00:03:19.455 --> 00:03:21.090
As my husband has supported my career.
00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:22.859
We're a team.
00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:23.693
I'm so excited to see what he's doing,
00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:25.762
And he's been my greatest champion in this endeavor.
00:03:25.762 --> 00:03:28.598
Calling all of his friends and telling everybody
00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:31.167
And you see it on his x feed,
00:03:31.167 --> 00:03:32.502
It's just how proud he is of me.
00:03:32.502 --> 00:03:33.836
The same way i'm proud of him.
00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:35.238
And i would encourage young women
00:03:35.238 --> 00:03:37.240
That marriage and family gives you the ability
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.243
To go further and higher in your career, not less.
00:03:40.243 --> 00:03:43.246
The the data shows young men are going
00:03:43.246 --> 00:03:47.283
Dramatically to the right.
00:03:47.283 --> 00:03:48.418
Young ladies are going to the left,
00:03:48.418 --> 00:03:49.852
But not as dramatically as they were a couple years ago.
00:03:49.852 --> 00:03:53.189
What can we, as a movement do better?
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:56.192
So we saw it.
00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:57.527
And president trump in the last election,
00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:58.795
As you just mentioned, close
00:03:58.795 --> 00:04:00.029
That gender gap a little bit, right?
00:04:00.029 --> 00:04:01.364
That is because the make america healthy again
00:04:01.364 --> 00:04:03.066
Movement from bobby kennedy and president trump.
00:04:03.066 --> 00:04:05.335
We also saw that because we don't want to trans
00:04:05.335 --> 00:04:07.937
Our children.
00:04:07.937 --> 00:04:08.805
And riley gains has been a tremendous
00:04:08.805 --> 00:04:10.673
Has made a tremendous impact in that regard.
00:04:10.673 --> 00:04:12.375
And i think the more that
00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:13.543
We can talk to women where they are on their value set,
00:04:13.543 --> 00:04:17.313
Which in my opinion is,
00:04:17.313 --> 00:04:18.748
You know, creating happy,
00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:19.749
Healthy households and feeding our kids good food
00:04:19.749 --> 00:04:22.452
And not giving our kids this toxic lifestyle,
00:04:22.452 --> 00:04:25.321
Whether that be from tv, movies or what's
00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:27.990
Actually in their diet.
00:04:27.990 --> 00:04:29.625
The more we give moms that outlet, because i believe
00:04:29.625 --> 00:04:33.029
Talking to moms is an ideological or political,
00:04:33.029 --> 00:04:35.998
We are, at the end of the day,
00:04:35.998 --> 00:04:37.200
All just trying to raise our kids
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:38.701
In this beautiful country that we love.
00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:40.937
And i think unless we're cultivating
00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:42.372
That audience and really building mountains,
00:04:42.372 --> 00:04:44.507
There isn't a place right now where,
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:46.175
Besides charlie, one of your shows, right
00:04:46.175 --> 00:04:48.077
Like that, that truly conservative women
00:04:48.077 --> 00:04:50.813
Can go to get information about politics.
00:04:50.813 --> 00:04:54.317
We need to create that audience.
00:04:54.317 --> 00:04:55.518
So that way, when we have a 2028 election
00:04:55.518 --> 00:04:57.887
And midterms,
00:04:57.887 --> 00:04:58.988
That our elected leaders can talk to women
00:04:58.988 --> 00:05:01.457
Directly where they are,
00:05:01.457 --> 00:05:02.525
Because i believe that magazines used to do that.
00:05:02.525 --> 00:05:05.194
But what is magazines anymore? they're just trash.
00:05:05.194 --> 00:05:07.997
Well, they are, and that's right.
00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:10.299
What what is the
00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:13.770
Solution to the intractable allure that so many,
00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:18.374
You know, young ladies have towards liberalism?
00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:21.978
What issues in particular do you think can move them?
00:05:21.978 --> 00:05:25.481
I think hollywood and the far left glamorize
00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:29.852
This vision of you can do it on your own women empowerment.
00:05:29.852 --> 00:05:34.157
And i just think we are telling women there's another avenue
00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.959
Towards women empowerment, which includes having a family.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.695
Right?
00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:40.897
Because far too often you see on alex cooper,
00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:42.231
Call her daddy if they glorify this single woman,
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:45.501
This behavior that is, in my opinion, not degenerate,
00:05:45.501 --> 00:05:48.704
Certainly not moral, but like it is just
00:05:48.704 --> 00:05:51.574
The absolute opposite of what
00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:54.143
I find to give me value every day in my personal life.
00:05:54.143 --> 00:05:58.047
And you see it on tv and movies.
00:05:58.047 --> 00:06:00.082
You saw yesterday,
00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:01.083
A clip of snoop dogg on a podcast talking about
00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:03.786
Why is he having to explain to his kids in a movie
00:06:03.786 --> 00:06:06.989
Which transgenderism is, and why does a woman
00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:10.059
And a woman who are married and how do they have kids?
00:06:10.059 --> 00:06:12.128
It's like,
00:06:12.128 --> 00:06:13.329
Why are we inserting that and teaching our children that?
00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:15.932
That is the values of our country when it is not.
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:18.434
You just also want to tune in and tune out of the noise
00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:21.971
Of everyday life
00:06:21.971 --> 00:06:23.105
And just be able to enjoy what is a quiet household
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:25.775
And be able to teach your kids what you want.
00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:27.310
And so often now we've lost that in society.
00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:30.446
If only we can tell our neighbors
00:06:30.446 --> 00:06:32.381
And our people at church and our people in school
00:06:32.381 --> 00:06:36.285
Where everyone's going back to school, these fellow moms.
00:06:36.285 --> 00:06:38.154
And this is common thought,
00:06:38.154 --> 00:06:39.789
And you don't have to just go with the flow
00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:41.624
And be ashamed to be who you are.
00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:43.960
Yeah.
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.161
So in closing here, katie, how can people find the podcast?
00:06:45.161 --> 00:06:46.996
What else can we expect from
00:06:46.996 --> 00:06:48.631
You, moving forward with this important project?
00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:51.701

Our next episode, we just released last night
00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:02.011
With katie britt again
00:07:02.011 --> 00:07:03.312
About, the us senator, youngest female senator.
00:07:03.312 --> 00:07:06.349
Next week we're going to have on
00:07:06.349 --> 00:07:07.650
Joe gabby, the founder of airbnb,
00:07:07.650 --> 00:07:09.652
Who was most recently named chief design
00:07:09.652 --> 00:07:11.587
Officer of the united states by president trump.
00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:14.257
It it's an exciting time to be a conservative,
00:07:14.257 --> 00:07:16.959
And it's an exciting time to talk about what women
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.929
Actually care about, which is not training our kids.
00:07:19.929 --> 00:07:22.832
Amen.
00:07:22.832 --> 00:07:23.900
Katie miller, check out the katie miller podcast.
00:07:23.900 --> 00:07:25.201
Thank you so much. thanks, charlie.
00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:32.108
In genesis
00:07:32.408 --> 00:07:33.309
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:07:33.309 --> 00:07:35.945
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:07:35.945 --> 00:07:39.148
I will bless those who bless you.
00:07:39.148 --> 00:07:42.351
The christian bible tells us
00:07:42.351 --> 00:07:43.886
That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:46.856
The rich olive tree of israel,
00:07:46.856 --> 00:07:49.258
The very foundations of the christian faith,
00:07:49.258 --> 00:07:51.661
The bible and jesus, whom christians call
00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:54.263
The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:07:54.263 --> 00:07:57.733
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:07:57.733 --> 00:08:00.369
Prophetic timeline.
00:08:00.369 --> 00:08:01.737
It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
00:08:01.737 --> 00:08:04.974
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:08:04.974 --> 00:08:08.544
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:08:08.544 --> 00:08:10.846
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:08:10.846 --> 00:08:13.883
The scripture says how good and how
00:08:13.883 --> 00:08:16.319
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.622
You can be part of this historic movement
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:23.159
Of bringing light to our world.

00:08:30.009 --> 00:08:39.241
Joining us now
00:08:39.575 --> 00:08:40.543
Is jeremy carle author of unprotected class
00:08:40.543 --> 00:08:43.980
How anti-white racism is tearing america apart.
00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:46.816
Jeremy, i want to broaden the discussion
00:08:46.816 --> 00:08:48.851
That is currently happening largely online and somewhat
00:08:48.851 --> 00:08:51.721
On television around student visas, also,
00:08:51.721 --> 00:08:54.590
We can't
00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:55.458
We can't weigh in too much about this
00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:56.525
Because president trump is in the midst
00:08:56.525 --> 00:08:57.860
Of a, a massive, a geopolitical change or trade deal.
00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:01.931
So there's a given, there's a take.
00:09:01.931 --> 00:09:03.432
So i haven't really weighed in on much of it.
00:09:03.432 --> 00:09:05.468
But instead what i want to do, jeremy, is i want to broaden
00:09:05.468 --> 00:09:08.037
It and just come up
00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:09.305
With a way that we should think about student visas.
00:09:09.305 --> 00:09:12.008
Right?
00:09:12.008 --> 00:09:12.975
President trump has both of our confidence.
00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:14.610
He's going to crush it.
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:15.845
Let's not, you know, look at the
00:09:15.845 --> 00:09:17.480
The day to day back and forth riff raff.
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.249
Let's take a, you know, more macro picture.
00:09:20.249 --> 00:09:22.618
Let's go through the let's go through the essence of it.
00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:27.223
How many people are foreigners
00:09:27.223 --> 00:09:29.025
That are coming into our schools
00:09:29.025 --> 00:09:30.793
And that are learning our universities?
00:09:30.793 --> 00:09:32.662
Is that a good thing? is it a bad thing?
00:09:32.662 --> 00:09:34.530
And how should we think about student visas altogether?
00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:37.266
Yeah, charlie.
00:09:37.266 --> 00:09:37.900
And by the way,
00:09:37.900 --> 00:09:38.701
I just want to echo your comments,
00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:40.069
Which is
00:09:40.069 --> 00:09:40.536
I understand
00:09:40.536 --> 00:09:41.437
Why people online are going to sort of
00:09:41.437 --> 00:09:43.039
They're going to freak out and say,
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.573
Oh, you know, he said 600,000.
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:46.375
And you sort of wonder
00:09:46.375 --> 00:09:47.677
If these people ever watched trump negotiate
00:09:47.677 --> 00:09:50.012
Before and, you know, get fooled for the 50,000 time.
00:09:50.012 --> 00:09:53.582
This is all part of negotiation.
00:09:53.582 --> 00:09:55.251
So let's not i, i support him completely.
00:09:55.251 --> 00:09:57.353
But let's talk about more conceptually.
00:09:57.353 --> 00:09:59.522
Please keep going.
00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:00.856
Yeah.
00:10:00.856 --> 00:10:01.857
So conceptually, i think we've got something
00:10:01.857 --> 00:10:03.025
On the order of a million, foreigners,
00:10:03.025 --> 00:10:06.162
Studying in the us right now.
00:10:06.162 --> 00:10:08.431
I think it's there are clearly some advantages.
00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:11.600
There's particular advantages to the universities now
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.903
That may be positive or negative,
00:10:13.903 --> 00:10:15.738
Depending on how you think of universities,
00:10:15.738 --> 00:10:17.773
Because these are generally people
00:10:17.773 --> 00:10:19.208
Who are paying full freight.
00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:21.544
So in some
00:10:21.844 --> 00:10:22.745
Sense they are subsidizing, being able
00:10:22.745 --> 00:10:25.247
To offer scholarships to american students.
00:10:25.247 --> 00:10:27.550
On the other hand,
00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:28.784
They are sometimes crowding american students,
00:10:28.784 --> 00:10:31.253
Particularly in technology. out of these
00:10:31.253 --> 00:10:33.155
Top programs, particularly in graduate school.
00:10:33.155 --> 00:10:36.859
And so that's a that's a real problem.
00:10:36.859 --> 00:10:38.594
And then there's also the security element.
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:40.229
And i can tell you,
00:10:40.229 --> 00:10:41.197
When i was a doctoral student at stanford,
00:10:41.197 --> 00:10:43.399
We paid a lot of attention to places
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.068
Where we did not want chinese graduate students studying
00:10:46.068 --> 00:10:49.638
Because we felt it was a security risk.
00:10:49.638 --> 00:10:51.240
So this is a thing that really does get worried about
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.709
And it should be worried about.
00:10:53.709 --> 00:10:55.544
So yeah, let's differentiate this for a second.
00:10:55.544 --> 00:10:58.080
So what would you say is the difference
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.549
Between the graduate and the undergraduate designation.
00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:04.286
Does that matter as we're talking about foreign visas.
00:11:04.286 --> 00:11:07.690
Yeah charlie i think it absolutely does.
00:11:08.557 --> 00:11:10.426
So i mean i think undergraduate you're going to have
00:11:10.426 --> 00:11:13.129
A much sort of wider variation in student quality.
00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:16.465
And it also kind of matters last because
00:11:16.465 --> 00:11:20.302
With rare, rare cases, there's not going to be anybody
00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:22.705
Involved in really cutting edge research.
00:11:22.705 --> 00:11:24.673
When you get to a graduate school,
00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:26.208
Particularly a doctoral program,
00:11:26.208 --> 00:11:27.510
Particularly at some of these top programs,
00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:29.879
You're talking about people who are really working
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.381
On often very, very cutting edge work.
00:11:32.381 --> 00:11:35.351
I mean, in many cases, the faculty member,
00:11:35.351 --> 00:11:38.187
If it's a doctoral program,
00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:39.321
Maybe only lightly supervising it, and the real cutting
00:11:39.321 --> 00:11:42.391
Edge work is being done by the student.
00:11:42.391 --> 00:11:45.161
Now, if they're bringing that
00:11:45.161 --> 00:11:46.462
Work in at staying in the us, that's great.
00:11:46.462 --> 00:11:49.031
If they're going
00:11:49.031 --> 00:11:50.065
And they're stealing our intellectual property
00:11:50.065 --> 00:11:52.168
From other students, from professors, whatever else,
00:11:52.168 --> 00:11:54.737
And reporting on that to the chinese communist party
00:11:54.737 --> 00:11:57.406
Or wherever, whatever our geopolitical rival is,
00:11:57.406 --> 00:12:00.543
Obviously that's a big problem.
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:02.878
Right?
00:12:03.078 --> 00:12:04.046
So let's just go a step deeper into this.
00:12:04.046 --> 00:12:06.348
So the chinese question is one presented
00:12:06.348 --> 00:12:10.152
As one issue, but it's really three issues.
00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:12.621
At the most basic level, we have chinese
00:12:12.621 --> 00:12:15.324
Who come to america for basic undergraduate degrees.
00:12:15.324 --> 00:12:18.194
We know that now there's two ways to frame it.
00:12:18.194 --> 00:12:20.462
You could say that
00:12:20.462 --> 00:12:21.697
It's offsetting our trade deficit with china.
00:12:21.697 --> 00:12:23.799
They sell us manufactured goods
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.234
And we sell them paper degrees.
00:12:25.234 --> 00:12:27.036
However, another way to look at it
00:12:27.036 --> 00:12:28.571
Is that we're importing foreigners
00:12:28.571 --> 00:12:29.939
To prop up a failed business model.
00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:32.041
How reliant are these universities on
00:12:32.041 --> 00:12:35.678
Foreign chinese purchasers of degrees?
00:12:35.678 --> 00:12:39.481
You know, charlie, it just it varies
00:12:40.249 --> 00:12:41.984
From university, university.
00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:43.285
But there's no question that a number of our universities
00:12:43.285 --> 00:12:47.857
Are very reliant, not just on chinese degree,
00:12:47.857 --> 00:12:51.327
But we're seeing this
00:12:51.327 --> 00:12:52.394
A lot from india, which is the other really big
00:12:52.394 --> 00:12:54.930
Supplier of foreign students, not as much of a security
00:12:54.930 --> 00:12:57.499
Threat, but, a country that we certainly do
00:12:57.499 --> 00:13:00.436
Need to pay attention to intellectual property there.
00:13:00.436 --> 00:13:03.806
So, you know, we do have that.
00:13:04.406 --> 00:13:06.542
But, charlie, again, you kind of started your career
00:13:06.542 --> 00:13:09.044
Even attacking the university business model for good reason.
00:13:09.044 --> 00:13:12.581
And i think that we would be better off
00:13:12.581 --> 00:13:15.251
In the grand scheme of things if we let more of these schools
00:13:15.251 --> 00:13:18.787
Fail, because, again, they can only be propped up
00:13:18.787 --> 00:13:21.891
By foreign students
00:13:21.891 --> 00:13:24.393
In some cases looking for that us prestige.
00:13:24.393 --> 00:13:27.263
And i don't think that that really serves
00:13:27.263 --> 00:13:30.466
American interests pretty well, particularly
00:13:30.466 --> 00:13:32.268
Considering how well a lot of these universities have become.
00:13:32.268 --> 00:13:35.471
So, you know, there's no simple and clean answer.
00:13:35.471 --> 00:13:38.407
But i think that's broadly how i think about it. yeah.
00:13:38.407 --> 00:13:40.976
So let me ask you, and i think i know the answer.
00:13:40.976 --> 00:13:43.946
Why does xi jinping care so much about this issue?
00:13:43.946 --> 00:13:48.684
You would think that when you're negotiating
00:13:48.684 --> 00:13:50.920
A trade deal, which is what's happening right now,
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:54.823
Gigi pang would be worrying about imports or exports or,
00:13:54.823 --> 00:13:58.894
Hey, don't go to taiwan or making
00:13:58.894 --> 00:14:01.964
Sure that we have control over the south china sea.
00:14:01.964 --> 00:14:05.534
But instead a top priority is student visas.
00:14:05.534 --> 00:14:10.439
Here's how i interpret that.
00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:12.374
Some people say, oh, it's international espionage.
00:14:12.374 --> 00:14:14.910
They're spying on us.
00:14:14.910 --> 00:14:16.378
There's probably some truth to that.
00:14:16.378 --> 00:14:18.113
You can't trust the chinese.
00:14:18.113 --> 00:14:20.049
The second of which people say, well, they're,
00:14:20.049 --> 00:14:21.650
You know, they're training for that.
00:14:21.650 --> 00:14:23.185
They can replace us and they're getting value
00:14:23.185 --> 00:14:25.321
Or intellectual capital.
00:14:25.321 --> 00:14:26.588
The third of which i actually think
00:14:26.588 --> 00:14:28.057
Is a little bit more benign, is that i believe he's getting
00:14:28.057 --> 00:14:31.393
A lot of internal pressure from chinese oligarchs
00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:34.363
That want their kids to be able to go to u.s.
00:14:34.363 --> 00:14:36.131
Universities so that they can stay
00:14:36.131 --> 00:14:38.400
Domestically competitive in the ccp rat race.
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:42.237
Yeah.
00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:43.472
What do you think of that analysis, jeremy?
00:14:43.472 --> 00:14:45.140
Charlie, i think it's actually very insightful.
00:14:45.140 --> 00:14:47.076
I think both the there's the practical element of
00:14:47.076 --> 00:14:49.945
They want that u.s brand degree from the ccp rat race.
00:14:49.945 --> 00:14:53.983
I think there's also sort of sentimental reasons
00:14:53.983 --> 00:14:56.251
And prestige reasons around the same thing.
00:14:56.251 --> 00:14:58.520
She's, daughter.
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.222
This was
00:15:00.222 --> 00:15:01.390
Kind of not widely reported because she studied under
00:15:01.390 --> 00:15:03.492
A pseudonym.
00:15:03.492 --> 00:15:04.593
Is actually a harvard graduate, and for a long time,
00:15:04.593 --> 00:15:08.330
The chinese communist party,
00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:10.099
Some of the top leaders have been sending their kids
00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:12.801
Here to the u.s..
00:15:12.801 --> 00:15:13.869
I think there some positives and negatives of that.
00:15:13.869 --> 00:15:15.804
I mean, obviously
00:15:15.804 --> 00:15:16.939
We can affect, what they think in terms of culture and,
00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:19.975
Hopefully they come away with a little bit,
00:15:19.975 --> 00:15:23.112
More positive view of the u.s but there's obviously
00:15:23.112 --> 00:15:25.881
Also some risks, associated with that.
00:15:25.881 --> 00:15:28.450
But i think that, yes, it's the rat race.
00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:31.053
And it's also
00:15:31.053 --> 00:15:31.754
There's a sort of soft prestige
00:15:31.754 --> 00:15:33.055
And and maybe even some sentimental value.
00:15:33.055 --> 00:15:35.090
I mean, again, she has one child.
00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.192
That child studied in the us.
00:15:37.192 --> 00:15:38.794
And so this may sort of thing
00:15:38.794 --> 00:15:39.962
May be a little bit personal for him.
00:15:39.962 --> 00:15:41.663
In closing here, jeremy, tell everybody
00:15:41.663 --> 00:15:43.499
About the position that you are pending forward.
00:15:43.499 --> 00:15:45.801
If the senate could get its act together.
00:15:45.801 --> 00:15:47.403
Well, we're, we're hopeful and i'm hearing good things,
00:15:48.504 --> 00:15:50.939
But i'm a bit have been nominated
00:15:50.939 --> 00:15:52.641
By the president
00:15:52.641 --> 00:15:53.509
To be an assistant secretary of state
00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:55.210
For international organization affairs.
00:15:55.210 --> 00:15:57.446
That is sort of overseeing the things we do with the un
00:15:57.446 --> 00:16:00.149
And some other, allied, multilateral, organizations.
00:16:00.149 --> 00:16:03.552
And, president
00:16:03.552 --> 00:16:04.753
Trump and secretary rubio have put together
00:16:04.753 --> 00:16:06.555
A terrific team at the state department.
00:16:06.555 --> 00:16:08.657
And so hoping that the, senate will be able to move forward
00:16:08.657 --> 00:16:12.594
And,
00:16:12.594 --> 00:16:13.762
If confirmed, are really looking forward to being able
00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:15.898
To serve the president in that way.
00:16:15.898 --> 00:16:17.266
Jeremy karl, excellent work.
00:16:17.266 --> 00:16:18.834
Thank you so much.
00:16:18.834 --> 00:16:22.204
Over the years, i've been clear about this.
00:16:23.105 --> 00:16:24.940
I'm not just pro birth.
00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:26.008
I'm pro-life.
00:16:26.008 --> 00:16:27.042
And being pro-life means standing with mothers
00:16:27.042 --> 00:16:28.944
Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
00:16:28.944 --> 00:16:31.780
That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:34.249
Preborn doesn't just save babies,
00:16:34.249 --> 00:16:35.884
They make motherhood abundantly possible.
00:16:35.884 --> 00:16:37.786
They provide free ultrasounds and share
00:16:37.786 --> 00:16:39.588
The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
00:16:39.588 --> 00:16:42.157
And then they stay with real practical help,
00:16:42.157 --> 00:16:44.793
Including financial support for up to two years after
00:16:44.793 --> 00:16:47.329
The baby is born.
00:16:47.329 --> 00:16:48.497
This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
00:16:48.497 --> 00:16:51.533
Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
00:16:51.533 --> 00:16:53.769
And here's where you can make a difference.
00:16:53.769 --> 00:16:55.704
Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
00:16:55.704 --> 00:16:58.941
One chance for a mother to see her baby
00:16:58.941 --> 00:17:00.676
When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
00:17:00.676 --> 00:17:03.412
So don't just say you're pro-life.
00:17:03.412 --> 00:17:05.013
Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.
00:17:05.013 --> 00:17:07.649
Go to preborn.com/charlie or call (855)█601-2229.
00:17:07.649 --> 00:17:12.354
That's preborn.com/charlie
00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:14.456
Or call (855)█601-2229 preborn.com/charlie.
00:17:14.456 --> 00:17:21.004
Or call (855)█601-2229 preborn.com/charlie.
00:17:21.004 --> 00:17:26.136
So this is it.
00:17:26.469 --> 00:17:27.437
This kind of plays into our original thesis,
00:17:27.437 --> 00:17:30.473
Which is that if you want young ladies
00:17:30.473 --> 00:17:34.744
To become more conservative, we should encourage
00:17:34.744 --> 00:17:37.280
And celebrate marriage.
00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:40.049
The three m's, get a mortgage,
00:17:40.049 --> 00:17:43.219
Get married and mate,
00:17:43.219 --> 00:17:46.289
I will say the power that that taylor swift has,
00:17:46.289 --> 00:17:49.159
She could inspire
00:17:49.159 --> 00:17:50.160
A lot of young ladies to want to get married.
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.861
It's going to be very interesting on campus.
00:17:51.861 --> 00:17:54.531
A lot of these swifties who hate me
00:17:54.531 --> 00:17:55.899
Always like charlie.
00:17:55.899 --> 00:17:56.866
Stop talking about marriage all the time.
00:17:56.866 --> 00:17:58.601
Well, your your queen is getting married
00:17:58.601 --> 00:18:02.305
And maybe you should too.
00:18:02.305 --> 00:18:04.340
Something happens when you get married.
00:18:04.340 --> 00:18:07.143
This is a great clip.
00:18:07.143 --> 00:18:08.378
One of our listeners sent it to me.
00:18:08.378 --> 00:18:09.846
I want to just make sure i mention the listener.
00:18:09.846 --> 00:18:11.881
It's from hbo, real time with bill maher.
00:18:11.881 --> 00:18:14.450
Cliff emailed that to us.
00:18:14.450 --> 00:18:16.619
Freedom at charlie kirk.com.
00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:18.755
And this is a an actress by the name of whitney cummings.
00:18:18.755 --> 00:18:23.326
It's a really important piece of tape.
00:18:24.093 --> 00:18:25.862
Her on real time with bill maher play cut 355.
00:18:25.862 --> 00:18:29.999
Even bill maher couldn't help but laugh at this woman's
00:18:29.999 --> 00:18:32.535
Transformation from liberal to a conservative mom.
00:18:32.535 --> 00:18:35.305
It's been fascinating
00:18:35.305 --> 00:18:36.372
Because i've been on this sort of journey
00:18:36.372 --> 00:18:38.741
Through motherhood where, you know, i've always
00:18:38.741 --> 00:18:40.777
Been a very liberal person, maybe even a lived hard.
00:18:40.777 --> 00:18:43.680
But once you have a kid, you start like having thoughts
00:18:44.747 --> 00:18:47.283
That have been characterized as sort of
00:18:47.283 --> 00:18:49.285
As soon as i had a kid, i was like, i need a gun now,
00:18:49.285 --> 00:18:52.055
Not for myself, because i've got coyotes in my yard,
00:18:53.089 --> 00:18:56.259
I've got coyotes everywhere.
00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:57.360
And before i had a kid, i was like,
00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:58.428
They coexist with us.
00:18:58.428 --> 00:18:59.629
Coyotes were here first.
00:18:59.629 --> 00:19:02.232
I'm in the coyotes home.
00:19:02.232 --> 00:19:04.100
Now i'm like, let's make hats out of them.
00:19:04.100 --> 00:19:06.169
Let's make hats.
00:19:06.169 --> 00:19:07.470
Let's make coyote boots, coyote earrings out of
00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:09.973
Their eyeballs like it's just
00:19:09.973 --> 00:19:12.709
She's very funny.
00:19:13.142 --> 00:19:13.977
And that is unique.
00:19:13.977 --> 00:19:15.011
I don't find most female comedians funny.
00:19:15.011 --> 00:19:17.113
Nothing sexy, just i don't.
00:19:17.113 --> 00:19:18.715
And usually they're so crass that that.
00:19:18.715 --> 00:19:20.817
That's quite funny.
00:19:20.817 --> 00:19:22.085
And it goes towards a more fundamental truth,
00:19:22.085 --> 00:19:24.587
Which is having children changes you.
00:19:24.587 --> 00:19:28.224
And that is the point, is that as we have had a
00:19:28.224 --> 00:19:32.028
Dramatic fertility collapse in the west,
00:19:32.028 --> 00:19:35.665
We shouldn't be shocked that how it's changed us
00:19:35.665 --> 00:19:38.568
Not having children has changed the west,
00:19:38.568 --> 00:19:41.004
And having children can change your core beliefs.
00:19:41.004 --> 00:19:43.406
That is why when we were in the dark night of the soul,
00:19:43.406 --> 00:19:46.809
That is why when we were in the wilderness,
00:19:46.809 --> 00:19:48.811
What did we go
00:19:48.811 --> 00:19:50.280
And build the entire movement upon the parents party?
00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:53.583
It was parents at school board meetings
00:19:53.583 --> 00:19:55.985
That was the basis
00:19:55.985 --> 00:19:57.220
That launched us out of the january 6th nightmare
00:19:57.220 --> 00:20:00.223
Out of the raids, the fbi, the atf, the doj.
00:20:00.223 --> 00:20:05.228
It was grassroots parents,
00:20:05.228 --> 00:20:07.397
And it is parents that will save this nation.
00:20:07.397 --> 00:20:10.033
And it's not a moral marker.
00:20:10.633 --> 00:20:12.402
If you don't have children, it doesn't make you a less
00:20:12.402 --> 00:20:14.671
It doesn't make you a worse person.
00:20:14.671 --> 00:20:16.572
But i think we could all agree
00:20:16.572 --> 00:20:17.674
That having more children, it's not just a good thing.
00:20:17.674 --> 00:20:19.876
It's a necessary thing
00:20:19.876 --> 00:20:21.377
To reverse the entire fertility collapse
00:20:21.377 --> 00:20:24.047
That is facing our society and our civilization.
00:20:24.047 --> 00:20:27.150
And you think about it.
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:27.984
Getting married is a covenantal thing.
00:20:27.984 --> 00:20:30.620
When you have children, you think of everything
00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:32.422
Differently.
00:20:32.422 --> 00:20:33.356
You go out less, you don't drink alcohol.
00:20:33.356 --> 00:20:36.492
You watch movies differently.
00:20:36.492 --> 00:20:37.593
You you also you don't
00:20:37.593 --> 00:20:40.530
You don't view marijuana the same way.
00:20:40.530 --> 00:20:43.333
If there are no children, there is no tomorrow.
00:20:43.333 --> 00:20:46.035
You view food differently.
00:20:46.035 --> 00:20:47.236
You view doctor's visit differently.
00:20:47.236 --> 00:20:48.871
It changes your entire perspective
00:20:48.871 --> 00:20:51.641
And it happens more and more so over time.
00:20:51.641 --> 00:20:54.377
Once you are a parent,
00:20:54.377 --> 00:20:56.546
You start to think of, oh, my kid would like that,
00:20:56.546 --> 00:20:58.314
Or i don't want my kid to see that, or
00:20:58.314 --> 00:20:59.916
I don't want my kid to walk down that street, or
00:20:59.916 --> 00:21:01.951
I don't want my kid to have to be hassled
00:21:01.951 --> 00:21:04.053
By a homeless person. i find that it is.
00:21:04.053 --> 00:21:06.155
Those without children are not married that tend to not care
00:21:06.155 --> 00:21:08.758
About the stuff that we as conservatives care about.
00:21:08.758 --> 00:21:10.960
They don't care about littering.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.961
They don't care about crime as much.
00:21:11.961 --> 00:21:13.129
They don't care about homeless people
00:21:13.129 --> 00:21:14.330
Because it's just themselves in their own little world.
00:21:14.330 --> 00:21:16.899
It makes society fundamentally more decent. why?
00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:21.104
Because it makes us, you and me and taylor
00:21:21.104 --> 00:21:24.941
Swift and whitney cummings more decent.
00:21:24.941 --> 00:21:28.211
And again, taylor swift, she has 4 or 5, six children.
00:21:28.211 --> 00:21:31.981
Be amazing that that will be a conservative event, no doubt.
00:21:31.981 --> 00:21:36.786
And that there are some exceptions.
00:21:36.786 --> 00:21:38.087
There are some celebs that stay libs
00:21:38.087 --> 00:21:39.856
And they trans their kids and they do all that stuff.
00:21:39.856 --> 00:21:42.725
Okay, but i do believe
00:21:43.192 --> 00:21:47.463
That if taylor swift all of a
00:21:48.097 --> 00:21:50.032
Sudden has a moment when her teachers
00:21:50.032 --> 00:21:52.368
Try and change the pronouns of her kids,
00:21:52.368 --> 00:21:55.271
That's probably a conservatism of that.
00:21:55.271 --> 00:21:59.075
Look, i think,
00:21:59.409 --> 00:22:01.711
I think taylor swift's got to go full mormon.
00:22:01.711 --> 00:22:03.679
I think six kids minimum.
00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:05.348
I mean, think about what a conservative.
00:22:05.348 --> 00:22:10.119
Taylor swift would be for the country.
00:22:10.953 --> 00:22:12.555
It would be an amazing thing.
00:22:12.555 --> 00:22:15.091
And overall, i think this is wonderful.
00:22:15.091 --> 00:22:16.959
I hope they have a lot of happiness
00:22:16.959 --> 00:22:19.095
And i hope they have a lot of joy and a lot of children.
00:22:19.095 --> 00:22:22.899
And i hope the women of america
00:22:23.533 --> 00:22:26.035
Will have less cats and more children.
00:22:26.035 --> 00:22:28.571
Your queen is getting married and so should you.
00:22:28.571 --> 00:22:32.575
Friends just across israel's border inside syria.
00:22:33.609 --> 00:22:36.746
Entire christian and druze families have been slaughtered
00:22:36.746 --> 00:22:40.316
By islamic terrorists. it's shocking.
00:22:40.316 --> 00:22:42.485
It's heartbreaking.
00:22:42.485 --> 00:22:43.519
And the international fellowship of christians
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.188
And jews
00:22:45.188 --> 00:22:45.888
Is there on the ground,
00:22:45.888 --> 00:22:47.056
Working hand in hand with israel and the idf to respond.
00:22:47.056 --> 00:22:50.226
The fellowship has rushed in over 1500 emergency food boxes.
00:22:50.226 --> 00:22:54.263
They've opened
00:22:54.263 --> 00:22:55.431
A brand new medical clinic in a village that had none.
00:22:55.431 --> 00:22:57.567
Truckloads of medical equipment
00:22:57.567 --> 00:22:59.035
And supplies went straight to hospitals
00:22:59.035 --> 00:23:00.770
Because the need is so desperate.
00:23:00.770 --> 00:23:02.238
This is our faith in action.
00:23:02.238 --> 00:23:03.573
Israel is stopping the terrorists.
00:23:03.573 --> 00:23:05.274
Now it's on us christians and jews to care
00:23:05.274 --> 00:23:07.143
For the survivors,
00:23:07.143 --> 00:23:08.077
To pray for the persecuted,
00:23:08.077 --> 00:23:09.479
And to stand with them against evil.
00:23:09.479 --> 00:23:11.247
I'm asking you to join me in
00:23:11.247 --> 00:23:12.448
Standing with the international
00:23:12.448 --> 00:23:14.016
Fellowship of christians and jews, right now called ifrc.
00:23:14.016 --> 00:23:16.819
Jorg that is ifrc. jorg.
00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:18.988
We could meet terror with compassion.
00:23:18.988 --> 00:23:20.723
We can be part of bringing food, medical help
00:23:20.723 --> 00:23:22.658
And hope to christian and druze communities in syria
00:23:22.658 --> 00:23:25.294
Who need it most.
00:23:25.294 --> 00:23:25.294
