Chapter 2: How can conservatives address the 'Red State Paradox'?
And I would make an argument that what we are doing, even though we are not a quote unquote ministry the way that like Young Life is, I think that what we are doing is actually bringing more people to faith, more people to a belief in God than even some of these very well-funded Christian ministries on campuses are.
Not trying to criticize Campus Crusade and all that, but I don't see them on campus. I don't feel their vibe. There really is no aura. Where we're able to draw thousands of people and talk about the Lord, talk about Jesus, and of course talk about America, conservative principles, to bring back purpose. It goes back to one of my favorite books.
I encourage everybody in this audience to read this book. If there are like five books you should read in life, this is one of them. It is Man's Search for Meaning. Viktor Frankl makes an explicitly biblical argument and spiritual argument in the book, which is outside of food and outside of water, man's greatest need is meaning. It is not sex. It is not notoriety. It is not popularity.
It is purpose and it is meaning. In fact, he proves in the will to meaning in this book, Man's Search for Meaning, that He proves that in the concentration death camps of which he was subject to it, the people that happened to live at a much higher correlation and survive terrible sicknesses and diseases were ones that had the meaning.
And there's a lot of scientific data to show this, that you can literally die of a broken heart, that people that give up hope, they're more likely to die, more likely to have their body just give up, that your immune system is actually tied to your purpose and your teleological aim. So the answer is quite a few give their life to the Lord, and we hope to have that increase.
And I only wish that there were evangelists willing to go sow into the harvest right now, but I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing enough pastors. I'm not seeing enough people on campus that are willing to lean into this moment. Instead, I see far too much wokeism and the weak, fake gospel being taught on many of these campuses. Jeff, thank you for being a member at members.charliekirk.com.
What is on your mind?
Hello, Charlie. Thanks for all you do. In my humble opinion, Carrie Lake should be the current Senate governor of Arizona, but that didn't happen because of voter fraud. And I am all for Andy Biggs, but in your opinion, has enough been done to clean up voter fraud in Arizona so that Andy Biggs and other mega candidates can actually be elected and put into office?
Great, great question. So the first answer is no. We don't know, but probably yes. And the reason being, of course, President Trump won the state by nearly 200,000 votes. And it's because we embraced early voting and we did ballot chasing, which increases our ability to not have a bunch of machines fail on Election Day. So I think we proved in 2024 that we can win statewide.

Chapter 4: How are young people being helped to buy homes?
So yes. So homeownership, by the way, is critically important. We want people to own. This is by a tangent, by the way, why we went so hard on the Invest America idea earlier in the week. We're going to have a whole other program when I get back from the debating at Oxford and Cambridge about the Invest America because owning stuff matters.
It's worth considering the penalties on the ownership of tons of housing by large firms. I think that a prohibition on major firms buying single-family homes is something we should entertain. Because the problem is this, is that there are kids that are then being outbid of their dream home by Chinese cash buyers and major private equity firms with $10 trillion.
Black Rock comes in and buys a home, buys a single family home. And a young person's like, well, I finally got, I think about how tragic this is. There's this young couple that I know of in Phoenix and their combined family income is about $110,000 a year. They're doing pretty well. I mean, that's in today's economy.
It's not as well as it used to be, but, and they really want to own a home and they found their home and they went to the bank and they had to wrangle the bank. It was months of meetings with the bank and back and forth with the bank. And finally they were able to get a loan approval and it was like their dream. And so they go and they put an offer on the house.
And as soon as they finally have that house and everything is finalized, they get a phone call from the realtor saying, Sorry, you've been outbid by a cash offer by 5%. The house is now gone. And so then they go back to the bank and they have to go back to this whole process. And so they have to go find another house that fits their criteria. This is happening every single day.
Real families of young people are being outbid by major corporations and foreign buyers. I'm sorry. There's something fundamentally morally wrong with that. I'm a free market guy. I'm all about free markets. You will cease to have free markets if people don't own stuff. It is it is definitionally prerequisite numero uno to a market which is owning, not renting. It's a no brainer.
So while I'm not like excited to have prohibitions on who can buy what. Number one, I think we can all agree the Chinese Communist Party coming in with cash buyers should not happen. I think President Trump should sign an executive order prohibiting foreign nationals from China to be able to buy single family homes. I bet he could do that by just a national security executive order.
I have no idea the technicalities of it, but I bet he could. Number two, which is more complicated, is why is it that our young people that we have a social compact to that we have. Sewed into. then have to go into the world. They have tons of student loan debt. They've done everything right. They get married.
They're 28 years old and they want to start a family and they have to go pile together all of their savings from families, from their family, and maybe even take out a loan from a family member to just get the down payment for their dream home. And poop to the poop, the American dream gets stolen by a major firm. I'm sorry. That's insane.
