I Am Safer In Korea Than In America's Big Cities (PATHETIC) I Charlie Kirk

Okay, everybody, radio stations across the country, honored to be with you as always. You can email us freedom at charliekirk.com and we are here in the bitcoin.com studio. I am back fresh from Asia on Wednesday evening once we finished the program. I boarded a quite long flight from Los Angeles all the way to Seoul, South Korea. I was there to first speak at an event called Build Up Korea. I learned a lot and this event, Build Up Korea, was basically an AmFest carbon copy. It learned that people really love Turning Point USA aesthetics. Look at that. That's not a Turning Point event. That's not Student Action Summit. That is Build Up Korea. And I was thrilled. I'd call it KoreaFest, but it was practically just AmericaFest. They love America, whether it be the pyrotechnics, the lights, the intro videos. It was basically exactly what we have proven to be successful at AmericaFest, they brought to Korea. It was really something to be able to meet with the South Korean patriots. Their country is totally under attack. The same things that we have been fighting for here, whether it be lawfare in South Korea or mass migration in Japan, this is a worldwide phenomenon. But the thing that was the most striking, and it connects with the news today in America, the thing that is the most incredible is what happens when you walk outside of your hotel in South Korea. I got up quite early the next day. I mean, your body clock gets all messed up in trips like this. So the fact I slept seven hours and woke up at 5.30 local is like an accomplishment. Usually, if you're coming from America, you wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and you're all messed up. I woke up at 5.30 and I said, I'm going to go get a cup of tea and go explore the city. I did by myself. It was amazing. As soon as you walk out of the hotel, there's no bums. There's no people asking you for money. They don't really put up with graffiti at all. This is the streets of Seoul, South Korea. I walked six miles all throughout downtown Seoul, South Korea. It's a pretty amazing thing. Whether it be walking through public transportation, whether it be walking through public parks, everything is clean, orderly. They take pride and responsibility over their public spaces. In fact, Blake and I, one evening, Blake said, Charlie, I have to show you the subway station. I said, the subway station? I said, Blake, is that safe? And Blake chuckled. He said, safe? The whole country is safe. Here's just one little taste. This is Blake and I in the subway station, not actually on the subway itself, in Seoul, South Korea. Playcut 284. This is immaculate compared to what we're used to, right? This is unbelievable. Wait, so this is a subway, Blake? You're kidding me. Scan in with it. It's only about a buck every time you get on. Maybe a buck 20. All right, where are we going? Do they have restrooms down here? They probably do, although I've never used one. What are these things here? Oh, these, oh, this is a crane game. Like, these are all rigged. Yeah, something like that. It's all... Oh, they do have a restroom. Okay, yeah, great. The video goes on for quite some time. The amount of filth, crime, and violence that we put up is insane. I remember I asked someone at my hotel, like the doorman concierge, I said, hey, is it safe to be here in South Korea? And he didn't speak great English. He said, safe? What do you mean safe? Are you worried about getting mugged or things getting stolen? He said, oh, no, no, no. Things are safe in your room. He's like, no, no, I got that. But like, you know, walking the streets of Seoul, like, and I was trying to, of course, overcome the language barrier. You know, are you worried that if you're on a bus or a subway, something is going to happen to you? Like a car accident? No, like, are you worried that someone's going to come and do something? Do something? Like, it was as if I was communicating not just a different language, but a different planetary reality. That someone would feel unsafe in a major city. Like Seoul, South Korea. Now, we are a wealthier country than South Korea. We founded South Korea, which I will talk about later this hour, thanks to the heroism of General MacArthur. You won't even know it's happened until you got a collection or foreclosure notice. So when's the last time you checked on your home's title?

Now in Japan, not only are they tough on crime, they have the death penalty and their jails are really intense. And one of the aspects that I think that was so telling of the entire trip is that it shows that we in America have actually done the hard things. But it's the very simple thing. Crime is not hard to solve. You just have to stand up to the Democrat, soft on crime, you know, open prison, prison reform nonsense. You need political willpower to be perfectly honest with you. And far too often, we as Americans, we put up with stuff we shouldn't. Now the left say, well, gun laws are why Asia is so safe. Now, mind you, I'm not even getting into the fact that the no gun crime. How does the left then explain the no muggings, the no stabbings, the no graffiti, the no homeless and the no bums? How do you explain that? Let me tell you right now, Japan has no lack of knives. Not any sushi restaurant. They're everywhere. And they say, well, strict gun laws equaled nice stuff and no crime. It is a complete misnomer. No, they have high trust. Society is what they have. OK, let's play. Cut to 85. OK, everybody, I'm here in Seoul, South Korea. As you can see, everyone, they have these like inflatable cushy chairs. Everyone is reading. This would last about 35 seconds in most American cities. You can have nights, you can have nice stuff. Crime is a choice. We shouldn't put up with it. South Korea doesn't. We should neither. This video really bothered the left. It went completely viral. And they said, oh, the cushy chairs are there because they have gun crime. No, it's actually nothing to do with gun crime at all. Actually, it's that they have a high trust society. They don't put up with homeless people and they don't put up with crime. They have community. They have people that trust each other. They speak the same language. Actually, I mean, of gun control, not gun crime. It's not an issue of gun control. And the the other takeaway when it comes to a high trust society is you must have a serious picture of national identity. We do not have a picture of that. And it's again, I'm not saying it's racial. It is racial in South Korea and Japan. They've decided to govern that way. And it's actually a really nice place to live. I'm not even prescribing that to the United States of America. We have a different mission statement. We are both a people and a proposition. Some people don't like that we're a proposition, but part of our national compact is propositional. It's not simply just a people. But if you are only a propositional people and you are not a people at all, if you're just a proposition and not a people, you don't have a nation. If you're just an idea, I used to believe this garbage like 10 years ago. America is just an idea. Not true. By the way, let's just put 312 B-roll. These are just pictures of luggage sitting unattended outside convenience stores in South Korea. Let me show this to you. Do you think this has anything to do with gun control? People just leave their stuff out and open outside of a convenience store in South Korea. Look at that. You just leave your luggage. You can go shopping. You just leave your stuff. No one's going to take it. Literally, we were at the South Korea airport, and Blake and I walked around. I was like, Blake, where's your bag? He's like, oh, I left it at the airport. I left it at the gate. So what do you mean? He's like, yeah, no one's going to take it. You just leave your stuff laying around. Does gun control have anything to do with that? Is that having to do with gun control to the American left? No. It's not a high trust society. You just leave your bags around. No one cares. Because no one's going to take it. It's a civilized society. We could live this way. We decide not to. We decide to live in this high crime infested, violent, third world place. And again, we are the greatest nation ever, but this is a problem. We shouldn't have to live when it comes to crime. These are basic quality of life issues, where you can just have a big roller bag. Be like, yeah, I'm just going to leave it on out here. I don't need to guard it. They don't have an attendant. They don't have a security guard. They have one thing that we do not have. They have a high trust society. We should try to restore it.
