Thank you everybody, Thank you. 109 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: Take a seat. Wow, I wish I could have spent 110 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: all morning talking to you guys. What an impressive group 111 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: of people, and just from all across the country. And 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: look at look at this the chapter Leadership sum. It 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: keeps on getting bigger and bigger and bigger every single year. 114 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: It's just amazing. And so I want to make sure 115 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: we spend uh and we have plenty of time for questions, 116 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: and uh cause I know that we didn't get we 117 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: get enough, We did not get enough time at breakfast. 118 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the knee, the priority 119 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: of living a deep life, and every single one of 120 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: you that have decided to be a turning point USA 121 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Chapter Leader, you have made an intentional decision that you 122 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: want to live a deep life over an easy life, 123 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: and almost every single one to be unless you go 124 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: to like I don't know, Arkansas Baptist. Where's my Arkansas 125 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: Baptist people, by the way, I saw them somewhere. Yeah, 126 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: you might have it a little easy. But and then, 127 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I asked the question of many 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: of you. You go to Suffolk and Boston, geez or 129 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: oswego in New York or all these very very liberal places, 130 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: and I say, is it easy being a turning point 131 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: USA Chapter Leader, And many of you would say no. 132 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: You get criticized, you get called names, you get smeared, 133 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: you get slandered. But then the most important question is 134 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: not whether it is easy or not, it is is 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: it worth it? And the answer to that is, of 136 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: course it's worth it. And that is a very profound point, 137 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: and that will be my entire remarks this morning, and 138 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: then we'll do questions. Which is the modern culture, largely 139 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: driven by secularism, tells you what you should do is 140 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 1: the easy thing, not the deep thing, And in life 141 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: you will realize the more rewarding thing to do might 142 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: be the more difficult thing to do. For example, starting 143 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: a Turning Point USA chapter, organizing your friends getting involved 144 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: on campus. That is a guaranteed way that you will 145 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: experience opposition. And one of the reasons why I'm so 146 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: inspired by you and I hope you are inspired by 147 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: each other. Well you see how many other chapter leaders 148 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: there are across the country doing the same things that 149 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: you are doing. Is that you are telling your peers 150 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: that I am taking the more difficult road because America 151 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: is worth saving more than my popularity on campus, that 152 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: America is far more important to me and my life. Then, 153 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: whether or not the purple haired Jihattis or the trans 154 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: mafia on campus is going to say good things about you, 155 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: you should delight and rejoice in the opposition. You should 156 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: be thankful that you are able to do something that 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: is worthwhile. Every single day, I am asked the question 158 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: by many patriots across the country, what can I do? 159 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: What can I do to save the country? You answer 160 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: that question every single day because you are doing the 161 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: work to save this beautiful republic. And I want you 162 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: to think about the rest of your life the lessons 163 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: that you learn as a turning point USA Chapter Leader. 164 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: It's very very important that taking the deep, but sometimes 165 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: the difficult road is the way that you should configure 166 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: your life. For example, getting married and having children is 167 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: a difficult but deep decision that I hope every single 168 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: one of you make at some point in your life. However, 169 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: the culture will tell you you might not have as 170 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: much time to yourself, you might not be able to 171 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: travel the world, you might not have as much money. 172 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: All of those things are true, and your answer should 173 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: be so, I want a deep and meaningful and purposeful life, 174 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: not an easy life. And we as conservatives must be 175 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: very clear is that with that, if you want a 176 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: easy life, then you become a leftist. They will pay 177 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: for your college, forgive your student loans, give you free stuff. 178 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: You do drugs all day, sit idly by and have 179 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: no kids, complain all the time, and protest. You see, 180 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: we as conservatives make a decision to live a more 181 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: adventurous life. That will come with difficulty, that will come 182 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: with opposition. But when it's all said and done, who 183 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: is happier? Six hundred plus Turning Point USA Chapter leaders 184 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: or six hundred plus BLM transactivists on college campuses across 185 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: the country. You are a happier group of people. You 186 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: have more joy, and it's because you are fighting for 187 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: something and for ideas and you are doing something that 188 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: is bigger than you. The newsflash, and the more the 189 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: earlier you can embody this is that life properly lived 190 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: is about duty and obligation and obedience, not just self 191 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: pleasure or doing what you want to do all the time. 192 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: And that opens the question duty to what or duty 193 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: to whom. Now, I know there's lots of different religious 194 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: views here, but I hope we can all agree that 195 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: duty to the divine, or duty to the eternal, or 196 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: duty to God is the most important thing that a 197 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: human being can do in his or her life. And 198 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: a belief that two things there is a God and 199 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: you are not him, are two of the most important 200 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: things that you can believe and internalize. You see, it 201 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: is an amazing thing to witness because I am given 202 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: hope by so many of you who know the stakes. 203 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: I get asked every single day by people that are 204 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: they want to make a difference, and they say, but 205 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,479 Speaker 1: I might be called bad names, I might be criticized, 206 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: I might be ridiculed, and I say, well, why don't 207 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: you come and meet some of our Turning Point chapter leaders. 208 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: They're always criticized and ridiculed, and they love it, and 209 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: they delight in it, and they keep on organizing. And 210 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why I believe we 211 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: will ultimately win, is because when a movement grows in 212 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: number despite all the attempts by the bad guys to 213 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: slow down our movement, that means that we want it more. 214 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: And it does not matter what names that they call us. 215 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: We are going to keep on organizing, We're going to 216 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: keep on spreading the message, We're going to keep on multiplying. 217 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look around this room. This room right here 218 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: is the left's worst nightmare. This room right here is 219 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: six hundred plus high school and college students from every 220 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: walk of life in every different place of the country, 221 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: from Florida to Washington, to Illinois to Wisconsin to Arizona, 222 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: where many of you did not know each other before 223 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: this weekend. And you say I want my children to 224 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: live in a free society, and we are here to 225 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: save the country so that we no longer have to 226 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: live in a communist, sutalitarian hellhole. That right there shows 227 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: that you are taking agency and taking action with purposeful intent. 228 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: And so when you lay out what you want your 229 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: life to look like, when pursuing a deep life, is 230 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: one of the most important things that you can do. 231 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: Second thing I want to talk about here, which is 232 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: I think incredibly important, is when you are presented with 233 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: choices in life. When you are when you are given 234 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: a binary choice, for example, whether or not you want 235 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: to take an extra job, whether or not you want 236 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: to work those extra hours, it is far more important 237 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: to think about your duty and your obligation and obedience 238 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: rather than how you How you feel is completely irrelevant. 239 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: How you act is far more important. For example, some 240 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: of you probably woke up this morning he said seven 241 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: thirty am breakfast. I feel tired. I'm just going to 242 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: sleep in. Would that have been the right decision? Because 243 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: if you allow your feelings to determine your action, what 244 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: kind of life are you going to live? Instead, you 245 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: allow your values to determine your action. Not your feelings. 246 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: And that is why if you have strong values, your 247 00:14:37,360 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: life will look infinitely richer and deeper. You see the left, 248 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: They want your feelings to determine your action. I feel oppressed. 249 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: I feel as if I'm marginalized, completely irrelevant. We don't care. 250 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: What do your value say? Well, my values say I 251 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: might be tired, I might be low on sleep, might 252 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: have had a long light night last night. The hotel 253 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: room next to me might have smelled funny and they 254 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: made all these weird noises. But my value system is 255 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: that I care about the country more than I care 256 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: about getting nine hours of perfect sleep. So I'm showing 257 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: up and I'm going to present myself best to the country. 258 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: That is about duty and obligation over self. And what 259 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I am talking about is the exact opposite of every 260 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: mainstream cultural norm happening in the country right now. Every 261 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: mainstream cultural norm is well, it's my truth. I can 262 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: do it whatever I want with my life. And of 263 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: course you can do whatever you want, but ought you 264 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: do whatever you can? And that is the most important question, 265 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: because there really is a way that all of us 266 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: should live, and the way we should live is to 267 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: glorify God. To work diligently to serve church and charity, 268 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: and defend liberty and freedom. These are the things that 269 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: we must prioritize in our life, and I incourage here's 270 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: some homework for every single one of you in the 271 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: days that follow. On your flight's home, write what you 272 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: consider to be the core beliefs of your life four 273 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: to five things. Think deeply about it. Don't do it 274 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: right now, but you know, write down a reminder to 275 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: do it. Four or five things of what are your 276 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: core values? I just listed mine, and by the way, 277 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College is very similar and I saw them. I 278 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: think it's amazing. What are the four to five core 279 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: things that you want to accomplish in your life? For example, 280 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: for me, I want to honor God and all that 281 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: I do. I want to be a great husband, a 282 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: great father. I want to serve this country. I want 283 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: to try to continue to lead this movement and to 284 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: speak truth and to never lie. Whatever those values are. 285 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: The sooner you are able to write down those values. 286 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: It does not matter then what you study, if you 287 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: go to college or you don't go to college. Everything 288 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: you do should fit neatly within those core mission principles 289 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: and values for the rest of your life. That simple 290 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: practice and practice and that simple exercise alone is one 291 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: of the most important things you can do in your 292 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: life to make sure that you have a proper course forward. 293 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: Because I'm sure you know many people in your life 294 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: that are depressed, that are anxious, young people that don't 295 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: have direction. Because if you ask them what are your 296 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: core values, they'll say is to serve self. You want 297 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: to know why we have the most depressed, alcohol addicted, 298 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: drug addicted generation and history, because we have a generation 299 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: that only thinks about themselves all day long. They don't 300 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: think about what they should do to serve others, to 301 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: serve God, or to serve their country. You want to 302 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: break the spell of depression and anxiety in this country. 303 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of it can be broken when you 304 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: tell a young person to stop thinking about yourself all 305 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: the time and said, think about what you should do 306 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: to help other people and to defend this country above yourself, 307 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: stop being a narcissist all the time, and start acting 308 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: with duty and obligation. I'll close with this and then 309 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: we'll do some questions. It is very tempting for you 310 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: to think like a victim. As a conservative on campus, 311 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm outnumbered, I get graded terribly. Guess what opposition is 312 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: part of life. You have a choice. You can complain 313 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: about all the opposition that you receive, or you can 314 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: embrace it and say, this is going to make me stronger, 315 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: This is going to make me tougher. Every single one 316 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: of you will become a stronger and tougher and more 317 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: likely to succeed adult later and later in life because 318 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: of the opposition that you experience. I want you to 319 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: think about the other people on campus that scream like 320 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: maniacs because you use the wrong pronoun Are they going 321 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: to be people that are going to be more likely 322 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: to succeed? Because here's the issue. You could try to 323 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: remove all the different sorts of triggers. Oh, your pronouns 324 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: or I don't like your Turning Point USA sign, or 325 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to have an event or you're not 326 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: allowed to table on campus. You can keep on trying 327 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: to remove the triggering type of elements, but eventually, in 328 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: life you're going to have to face what you hate 329 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: the most. And you, as a Turning Point USA leader, 330 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: you've had to do that at a very very young age. 331 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: You know what opposition looks like, and I'm sure at 332 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: the beginning it feels rather intimidating they call you all 333 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: these nasty names. You know how to deal with it. 334 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: But then after a month they're like, I don't care. 335 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: After six months, how many times give be called a racist? 336 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: Who here has been called a racist because of being involved? 337 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: A turning point? USA, raise your hand, look around. It's 338 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: not that the most. It means nothing. It means nothing. 339 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: You tell them say, okay, what else you got for me? Bigot, xenophobe, sexist, misogynistic, colonialistic, transphobe, 340 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: Just be like, look, I'm a patriot, I love this country. 341 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: Your name calling means nothing to me. It means nothing 342 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: to me. In fact, they have diluted and they have 343 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: watered down those terms so much because they cannot engage 344 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: in debate. They cannot talk about values, they cannot talk 345 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: about logic, history, principles, eternal wisdom. So they must result 346 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: to weaponized name calling. And as soon as you tell 347 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: them your name calling does nothing to me, it means 348 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: nothing to me, I'm gonna keep on growing, I'm gonna 349 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: keep on organizing. What are you gonna do about it? 350 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: And then sometimes they'll flip your table or throw something 351 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: at you, because that's all that they have left, is 352 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: that every day your existence as a turning point chapter 353 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: leader weakens their stranglehold on this country. Our movement is ascendant, 354 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: it is growing, it is multiplying by numbers. Recent polls 355 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: show that young men are the most conservative they have 356 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: been in fifty years. Fifty years, and that's right. And 357 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: young ladies, we're making some progress. We just had our 358 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Young Women's Leadership Summit, Oney, five hundred young women. It 359 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: was amazing. They are four points less liberal than they 360 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: were a couple of years ago. Gen Z is on 361 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: pace to be the most concervved younger generation since nineteen 362 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: eighty eight. That is gen Z, everybody, and you are 363 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 1: playing a huge role. You play a bigger role than 364 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: you even realize, because for every single one of you, 365 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: there are a couple thousand students that wish they could 366 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: speak out like you do. And courage is a choice. 367 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: It takes no skill to be courageous. You might come 368 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: up to the microphone and say, Charlie, I don't know 369 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: my talent, I don't know my skill. The cool thing 370 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: about being courageous is you just have to say I 371 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: choose to be courageous. That's it, and every one of 372 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: you have already made a step in that direction by 373 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: being a Turning Point Chapter leader. We are on the 374 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: edge of making gen Z historically conservative. And they never 375 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: thought this would happen. They thought that the environmental death 376 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: cult and the trans nonsense and the BLM crap was 377 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: going to turn gen Z into the most liberal generation ever. Instead, 378 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: Turning Point USA and your leadership organizing every single day 379 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: is pushing back against those lies, painting a different picture, 380 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: saying you know what, I want you to be able 381 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: to own a home, get married, have children, and live 382 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: in a decent country and not have to live under 383 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: this nonsense that they've been doing in this country. And 384 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: so what you are doing every day is making a 385 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: profound and real difference. And courage is a choice, and 386 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: the rest of your life you will continue to have 387 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: those choices. And the more often that you choose the 388 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: deep the difference cult. But the right path over the 389 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: easy path is one that will reward you, your family 390 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: and this beautiful nation. Let's do some questions. God bless 391 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: you guys, Thanks so much. All right, we'll start lining 392 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: up here. I don't know if we're gonna do it 393 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: hands or lining. I don't know what the proper protocol 394 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: is for that. We're gonna we'll do lines. Okay, so 395 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: start lining up, guys. I will not be able to 396 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: get all the all the questions. I'm gonna warn you 397 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: in advance. Okay, we're gonna So let's let's just try 398 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: our best. Let's get to as many as we can. 399 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 8: All right, We're gonna start on your right, Hi. 400 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: Charlie, how are you all right? 401 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 16: So? 402 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 17: I was born and raised in Russia, and I saw 403 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 17: what communism is. I used to be a communist. And 404 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 17: when you see college students all over the country, and 405 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 17: I've seen your videos, you know, debating with them, how 406 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 17: else can we convince them that communism and socialis just 407 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 17: never works. And as much as we try on our 408 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 17: campus is it still seems like a lot of the 409 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 17: professor's faculty staff are still pushing it, although they know 410 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 17: what's going on in Cuba, North Korea, Russia and all 411 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 17: over to you know, Eastern Europe. 412 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: So I've been wanting to do this for years, but 413 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: I am now gonna do this. I'm gonna go raise 414 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: some money from our donors to give a hundred communists 415 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: on campus one way tickets to Venezuela and Cuba. Do 416 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: you guys think that's a great idea. I think that's 417 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: a great idea. Do you guys think you you could 418 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: help recruit for that. Do you know a bunch of 419 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: communists and you'll take them? I think that's a great idea. 420 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: I think we should advertise it, all expense paid one 421 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: way ticket because you don't you shouldn't have to return. 422 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: You can go to your paradise and you could choose, 423 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: you know, choose your country. You could choose Cuba, or 424 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: you could choose Venezuela, or you can choose North Korea 425 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: and have a great time in Pyeongyang. Look, what you're 426 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: talking about is very important. God made us a certain way, 427 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: and we are rebelling against how God designed us because 428 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: we are ungrateful. It is very difficult to teach young 429 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: people how bad civilization can get when they have been 430 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: raised and the wealthiest, most prosperous nation ever to exist 431 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: in the history of the world. The struggle in front 432 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: of us is trying to teach young people why we're 433 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: able to have the wealthiest, most prosperous, best civilization ever 434 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: to exist, and the Communists seek to destroy that, to 435 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: take over this nation and to disintegrate it from within. 436 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: It is not an easy thing to do. However, I 437 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: am very hopeful. I'm hopeful because more and more people 438 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: are seeing the introductory stages of what this looks like. 439 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: They are fleeing California, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles 440 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: are many examples of what the rest of the nation 441 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: will look like if we continue down this markis communist path. 442 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: But more and most importantly is the cultural stuff that 443 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: the Marxists are pushing. The political correctness, censorship of free speech, 444 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: the trans stuff, men and women's sports is turning a 445 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: lot of young people, and young men in particular, saying 446 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: this is what they're putting forward, and in communism, you 447 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: know this. They must eliminate three things. Communists must destroy 448 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: three things. They must destroy the family, they must destroy 449 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: your connection to the divine, and they must destroy your 450 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: ability to own private property. In America, they're succeeding in 451 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: all three regards. Less and less people are getting married 452 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: and having children, less and less people are going to church, 453 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: and it is harder than ever to buy a home 454 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: in this country, more expensive than ever. The communist takeover 455 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: the country is well underway. We stop that by confronting them, 456 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: calling them out for who they are, and educating those 457 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: in the middle and those that are open minded about 458 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: our value system and our worldview. Thank you so much. 459 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you. 460 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 18: How can I How can I effectively run for student 461 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 18: body President and SGA at my college when facing slander 462 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 18: from a socialist and communist group on their website and 463 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 18: their social media? What specific points should I emphasize in 464 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 18: my campaign as a strong Christian conservative? 465 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 13: Oh? 466 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: What school? U and C Charlotte Great, So we have 467 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: a whole department of turning point call or campus victory project. 468 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: We'd love to connect you with that. That just involves 469 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: in student body president. My first piece of advice is 470 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: ignore the noise and just keep organizing and keep on 471 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: collecting votes. You cannot allow name calling to determine what 472 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: you do. It's a very important life principle. What you 473 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: do in life should never be impacted by the names 474 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: that you are called, and that whatever you do or 475 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: don't do should be about whether it's the right thing 476 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: or the wrong thing, not whether or not people are 477 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: hurling insults at you. That's all the left has is 478 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: name calling, smear, slander. I've not allowed to impact my life. 479 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: I am one of the most smeared and slandered public 480 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: figures in America. I get called a Nazi, a white 481 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: supremacist every single day, and it means nothing because it 482 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: is a lie. And guess what. We just had the 483 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: largest Blexit event yesterday in Turning Point, USA history. It 484 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: was amazing. And here they say, oh, Charlie's a white supremacist. 485 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: Don't really look at their Blexit movement. That's really something. 486 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: And these are liars. These are bad people, and you 487 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: can confront it every so often, as you've seen in 488 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: my videos, say hey, what have I ever said that's racist? 489 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: They have nothing, They can never defend their positions, and 490 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: do not be afraid to confront a bully or a 491 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: liar when they are lying about you. But more importantly, 492 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: your action, your decisions should never be impacted by other 493 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: people's name calling. God blessed, thanks so much. Uh from 494 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: New Mexico. 495 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, Oklahoma, But so in Oklahoma. A lot of 496 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 19: people hide behind being from Oklahoma because it's a red 497 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 19: state and they're fair weather conservatives. I feel like that's 498 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 19: more dangerous than leftists themselves. How can we help turn 499 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 19: those people from fair weather conservatives to true conservative. 500 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a good problem to have. I'm 501 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: sure my New Yorkers are like, you know, stop at 502 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: you Oklahomans. You have it, You have it just fine. 503 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: Let me tell you that the reason why the Oklahomans 504 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: are are fair weather fans or they're fair weather conservatives 505 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: is because they have not experienced, seen or lived what 506 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: happens when the left starts to take over your state 507 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: or take over your institutions. This is why my favorite 508 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: people in the country are the patriots from California and 509 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: New York and Oregon and Washington. And I mean no offense, 510 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: by the way, and because and by the way, they 511 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: should be all of your favorite people, because it's very 512 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: hard to be a conservative in California. But why are 513 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: they doing it? Because it is out of necessity. They're like, 514 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: you have no idea how bad it can get. So 515 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: part of it is that they haven't suffered enough, and 516 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: we hope that they will not suffer. But there's plenty 517 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: of trans nonsense in Oklahoma. There's plenty of garbage there. 518 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: So you have to first educate on values, build people up, 519 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: and your movement should not be solely on opposition. You 520 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: should also be in favor of the values we stand for. 521 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, appreciate it. 522 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 20: Yes, well, can we do to push it back against 523 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 20: school administration that cancels our events? 524 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 8: But let's leftist BSU speakers come in that exact same week. 525 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: What school do you go to? 526 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 8: Red Mountain High School? 527 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: High school? So sue them, and so we'd be happy 528 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: to help you with that with the Alliance Defending Freedom, 529 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: not kidding. If you go to a public school, it's 530 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: a public school. Yes, If you go to a public 531 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: school and there is even an inch or an iota 532 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: or a sliver of favoritism away from your turning point 533 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: USA chapter towards a left wing chapter, whether it be 534 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: a high school or a college chapter, we will sue 535 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: their socks off immediately. So you let us know. Now, 536 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: if they are a private school, you have a whole 537 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: separate issue. They're allowed to do that. As a private school, 538 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: they just start. They're allowed to decide what speakers come 539 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 1: and don't come. They might be violating their school policy. 540 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: Much more difficult public school. The Supreme Court has ruled 541 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: viewpoint neutrality with taxpayer dollars, and so if you have 542 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: the documents, we'd be happy to work with you with 543 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: Alliance Defending Freedom or one of our organizational partners. We 544 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: have successfully done this at tons of schools across the country, 545 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: and don't be afraid to do that at high school 546 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: or college. And all of a sudden they get brief 547 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: by their lawyers. They get very very scared because they're 548 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: in the wrong and they must fear a legal price 549 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: for discriminating against conservatives. God bless you, Thank you. 550 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 21: Hi Charlie. 551 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 22: Okay, so I saw you at the Women's conference Andy 552 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 22: and get to ask you. But so you talk a 553 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 22: lot about like being like well read and things like 554 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 22: that and learning. I was wondering if you had any 555 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 22: good book suggestions because I absolutely love reading. 556 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely this. I'm so against people going to college 557 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: because college you don't really learn much of anything that's 558 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: a value. Sorry, guys, it's just true. And so by 559 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: the way, many of you agree and you might not agree. 560 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: It is what is you person? This is a very 561 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: important question. Thank you, very very good in your life 562 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: you become as wise and as well informed as you 563 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: choose to be. Wisdom is a choice. 564 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 22: Now. 565 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: Six hundred years ago that was not the case. You 566 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: have a supercomputer now in your right hand pocket that 567 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: can give you millions of hours of information if you 568 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: choose on any topic imaginable. And so you have a choice. 569 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: I can go and get super drunk with friends on 570 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: a Saturday night. Or I can stay in and listen 571 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: to deep and rich podcasts of intellectual you know type 572 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: basis which one is going to better improve my life? 573 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: And or you can listen to the Charlie kirkshow thank 574 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: you very much, and let me tell you, glory be 575 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: to God for turning point USA, because God deserves the credit. However, 576 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: I made the choice for twelve years now. I don't 577 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: go out and party. I do not drink. I don't 578 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: do drugs. If you decide to do that, that's fine, 579 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: but you'll pay a price. You won't be as successful, 580 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: you won't be as happy, And that's okay. If getting 581 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: drunk is your value, because you got to write down 582 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: your values, right, and if one of your values is 583 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: like drinking a lot of beer, that's fine, that's your decision. 584 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: You will suffer because of that, but that's your choice. 585 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: I made a decision that I don't want to live 586 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: that life that I want to succeed. I want to 587 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: try to accomplish something that is good for humanity. And 588 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: so I read one hundred books a year. I listen 589 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: to two to three hours a day of podcasting, and 590 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: you can too, by the way, And if you're not, 591 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: you're making a decision to not be informed. You're making 592 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: decision to be ignorant. And I'm being kind of tough 593 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: on you guys, because what else are you doing that's 594 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: more important? And if you think you're busier than I am, 595 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're not. Like, just let's be honest, Okay, 596 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: I do three hours of radio day. We've got fi 597 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: hundred fift people on staff. I got to raise one 598 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars a year and I got two kids 599 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: under two. You're not busier than I am. Okay, And 600 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: so you should say, well, I want to be well informed. Okay, 601 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: then how many books are you are you reading? If 602 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: it's under twenty five, you're not taking learning seriously. And 603 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: that's why college is just complete waste of time because 604 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: they're making you read absolute crap. Right, un Let's go 605 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: to Hillsdale or Liberty which I see two of the 606 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: other there. So what books you should read? Mansearch for 607 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: Meaning by Victor Frankel. It's one of the most important 608 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: books that one can read. Anything by C. S. Lewis 609 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: Mere Christianity is Really Great, Abolition of Man, That Hideous 610 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: Strength by Vishaw Mango Waddie, The Book That Built Your World. 611 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: I love nineteen eighty four, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, 612 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: Anything by Winston Churchill. He wrote over fifty books. There's 613 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: no lack of books. I have book recommendations on my 614 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: entire website. But if you want to succeed in life, 615 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: prioritize reading over beer pong, Thank you very much. 616 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 23: Him. So word liberalism, it's real. Liberalism is small government, 617 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 23: it's not big government. So how you suggest that we 618 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 23: take back the word liberal? 619 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's important. So even with I, I don't love 620 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,439 Speaker 1: when people say that they're classically liberal because I still 621 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: think there's problems. But there is a difference. It's important 622 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: question between liberal and left. Okay, liberals are weak, Leftists 623 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: are evil. Big difference. Liberals will say, well, I don't 624 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: believe in black only dormitories, but I'm not going to 625 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: do anything about it. Leftists will say we believe in 626 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: black only dormitories. If you disagree, you're a racist, Like wait, 627 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: what like black hole the dormitories? Like where what are 628 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: we doing now? So that's very important. Liberals generally believe 629 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: in free speech. Liberals are similar to Alan Dershowitz or 630 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: Barry Weiss or Peter Bagogian. Do you guys know any 631 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: of these names that I'm saying, they're more liberal in nature. 632 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: Leftists control all the institutions. I am not a liberal, though, 633 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: and I don't seek to try to win over the 634 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: word liberal because I think liberalism has been a false 635 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: promise that has infected the conservative movement that allow us 636 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: to continue to concede ground that has led us to leftism. 637 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: As a conservative, it's very simple. We as conservatives want 638 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: to protect, preserve, and pass down the best for future generations. 639 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: That's what a conservative is. What is the best the family, 640 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: the church, the constitution, are borders, safe communities, unified national language, 641 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: unified culture. We want to make sure those things are 642 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: conserved against the forces that wish to destroy them. However, 643 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: I have respect for liberals, but I wish that they 644 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: would fight the left more, which they're very weak, so 645 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: they end up not doing that, Thank you very much. 646 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm very passionate about def yes aslu Pui right, Yes, yes, yes, 647 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 4: so I'm very passionate about school choice and school vouchers 648 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 4: because I was homeschooled and you've talked about it before. 649 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 4: But my one concern is that if homeschoolers are receiving 650 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 4: vouchers from the government for schooling, that could then lead 651 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 4: to the government exerting power and influence over homeschoolers. So 652 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 4: my question is, A, how do you think that we 653 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 4: should be promoting school choice in each of our states? 654 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 4: And b how do you think that we could fix 655 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 4: the issue of government having control over homeschoolers. 656 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: Super thoughtful question and I'll address it quick. So I'm 657 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: very much in favor of homeschooling. When you all get older, 658 00:38:53,280 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: we're homeschooling our kids, and hopefully you all have you know, five, 659 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: six or seven children and you homeschool them all and 660 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 1: you can laugh. But children are a gift from the Lord, 661 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: and we need to reverse this fertility crisis. Okay, so 662 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: big time, And let me just warn you having children 663 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: is hard. It is difficult, but it is worth it. 664 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,879 Speaker 1: It is worth it. Okay, we have not yet seen 665 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: evidence of the government controlling homeschoolers via vouchers, but it 666 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: is a very, very legitimate concern. And so I'm in 667 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: favor of school choice, but I'm skeptical because I bet 668 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: they're going to try to use it as a way 669 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: to control homeschool populations. As someone who plans to homeschool 670 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: both of our kids, I could tell you the government 671 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 1: will come nowhere near what we're going to teach our kids. 672 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: We're going to teach them the Bible. We're going to 673 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: teach them the ancient Greeks. We're gonna teach them math 674 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: the right way. We're gonna teach them scigns the right way. 675 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna teach them the truth of the lgbt Q 676 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: crap that has infected our country. And so yeah, we're 677 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: gonna teach them all about what is good, true, and beautiful, 678 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: and we're gonna tell the government to get the heck 679 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: out of the way. And so I'm I'm pro school choice, 680 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: but skeptical of what it potentially could become. So a 681 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: great question, Yes, sir, so. 682 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 24: Over the last few years, with Trump being now convicted, 683 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 24: I think it's total crap. So him being convicted and 684 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 24: then Steve Bannon about to be sentenced to jail two 685 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 24: and Info Wars being I mean, how whatever you think 686 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 24: about him, but anyway, that trying to be liquidated and 687 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 24: shut down. Me and my mom were having this conversation 688 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 24: the other day and I didn't really have an answer 689 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 24: for it. What what's the point of when our government 690 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 24: has become too tyrannical? Because it says in the Declaration 691 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 24: that when it, or any form of government government becomes 692 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 24: a shrective of these ends, is the right of the 693 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 24: people to alter in abolish it, an institute a new government, 694 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 24: laying it's foundation as such. So I don't know what 695 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 24: the answer to that is, and I was hoping you 696 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 24: can answer. 697 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: So that is a boy. The questions are so deep. 698 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: You guys are so impressive. 699 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 4: Uh. 700 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: First of all, is that accent not the coolest thing 701 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: you've ever heard? I just love that, Thank you. There 702 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: is something beautiful about a true West Texas accent. No 703 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: offense to East Texans. The West Texas is way better. 704 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 1: It's just that that is pitch perfect. I love it. Uh. 705 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: No cajun no, no, no, no, no no. I can 706 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: only understand every half of every word. I love Cajun 707 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Hot sauce, though, okay, the exactly, I don't pander. I 708 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: have my own Kirk's Hot Sauce. It's a real thing. 709 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: You can check it out kirks Hotsauce dot com. It's 710 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: actually really good, right, it's actually really good Kirk's Hot 711 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: Sauce dot com. It's not a joke. And I don't pander. 712 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: So the answer is, we don't know, but it's very important. 713 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: I don't think we're there yet. Number one. Number two. 714 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: In classical education, there's a word called prudence. And Churchill 715 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: loved this word, and Lincoln loved this word, and Washington 716 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: loved this word. Prudence is called practical judgment or applied wisdom. 717 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: It is meaning there's no formula, but using your the 718 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: wisdom of what you have read and experienced, you apply 719 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: it to that situation and you make a prudent choice. 720 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: Meaning I can't tell you what that looks like, except 721 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: that if we pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit 722 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: for wisdom, and we learn and we read enough, we'll 723 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: know it when we see it. I will say this, 724 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,240 Speaker 1: we are closer to this than I would ever have believed. 725 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 1: And your question is a little bit. The media hates 726 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: your question. I love it because they'll say, oh, Charlie, 727 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: you need to denounce it, as if there's no time 728 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: that we ever have to fight our government. I don't 729 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: think we're near that. I hope we never. Let me say, 730 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: Milga clear, I don't know how near we are. We're 731 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: getting closer to that, I hope, I hope. I hope 732 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: we never get to that. But I also will not 733 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: lie to you guys. I'll never lie ever, which is 734 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: a fantasy. We may get there where our government does 735 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: become tyrannical, and that's why we have a Second Amendment, 736 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: and so I don't know what when we actually hit 737 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: that point. But saying that we will never hit that 738 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: point is how you end up with the Soviet Union 739 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: or MOUs China or Auschwitz. And so we should all 740 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: be involved locally and keep on trying to win back 741 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: the country so we never have to get to that point. 742 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: But saying it will never happen is lying to ourselves 743 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: and living in a mass delusion. Thank you so much, 744 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: appreciate it. 745 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 25: So I'm from West Michigan. I go to Grand Valley 746 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 25: State University. How do we best emulate Florida's success of 747 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 25: turning from swing state to stronghold in states like Michigan. 748 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: What a great question, so trying to do this in Arizona. 749 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: The first and foremost, every single one of you, I'll 750 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 1: give a plug for Turning Point Action, our sister five 751 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,479 Speaker 1: H one C four organization. Every one of you needs 752 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: to get heavily involved if you so choose to want 753 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 1: to save the country via Turning Point Action not Turning 754 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: Point USA in this upcoming election, every single one of you, 755 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: if you so choose and so get involved in your 756 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 1: local Republican party, run real conservatives, not rhinos for office 757 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: and people that actually believe our value system. And then 758 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: finally we need to do We need to organize on 759 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: the local level signature signature gathering, petitions, and securing our elections. 760 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: And Florida is a great example of it. And we 761 00:44:39,360 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: need better candidates. And that is why, if you have 762 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: strong values, your life will look infinitely richer and deeper. 763 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: You see the left, they want your feelings to determine 764 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: your action. I feel oppressed. I feel as if I'm marginalized, 765 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: completely irrelevant. We don't care. What do your value say? Well, 766 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: my values say I might be tired, I might be 767 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: low on sleep, might have had a long light night 768 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: last night. The hotel room next to me might have 769 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: smelled funny and they made all these weird noises. But 770 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: my value system is that I care about the country 771 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: more than I care about getting nine hours of perfect sleep. 772 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 1: So I'm showing up and I'm going to present myself 773 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: best to the country. That is about duty and obligation 774 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: over self. And what I am talking about is the 775 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: exact opposite of every mainstream cultural norm happening in the 776 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: country right now. Every mainstream cultural norm is well, it's 777 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: my truth. I can do whatever I want with my life. 778 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: And of course you can do whatever you want, but 779 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: ought you do whatever you can? And that is the 780 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: most important question, because there really is a way that 781 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 1: all of us should live, and the way we should 782 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: live is to glorify God, to work diligently, to serve 783 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: church and charity, and defend liberty and freedom. These are 784 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: the things that we must prioritize in our life, and 785 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: I encourage here's some homework for every single one of 786 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 1: you in the days that follow. On your flight's home right, 787 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: what you consider to be the core beliefs of your life. 788 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: Four to five things. Think deeply about it. Don't do 789 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: it right now, but you know, write down a reminder 790 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: to do it. Four or five things of what are 791 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: your core values? I just listed mine, and by the way, 792 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College is very similar and I saw them. I 793 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: think it's amazing. What are the four to five core 794 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: things that you want to accomplish in your life? For example, 795 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: for me, I want to honor God and all that 796 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: I do. I want to be a great husband, a 797 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: great father. I want to serve this country. I want 798 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: to try to continue to lead this movement and to 799 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: speak truth than to never lie. Whatever those values are, 800 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 1: the sooner you are able to write down those values, 801 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: it does not matter then what you study, if you 802 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: go to college or you don't go to college. Everything 803 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: you do should fit neatly within those core mission, principles 804 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: and values for the rest of your life. That simple 805 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: practice and practice and that simple exercise alone is one 806 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: of the most important things you can do in your 807 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 1: life to make sure that you have a proper course. 808 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: Because I'm sure you know many people in your life 809 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: that are depressed, that are anxious, young people that don't 810 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: have direction, because if you ask them what are your 811 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: core values, they'll say is to serve self. You want 812 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: to know why we have the most depressed, alcohol addicted, 813 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 1: drug addicted generation and history, because we have a generation 814 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: that only thinks about themselves all day long. They don't 815 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: think about what they should do to serve others, to 816 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: serve God, or to serve their country. You want to 817 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 1: break the spell of depression and anxiety in this country. 818 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of it can be broken when you 819 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: tell a young person to stop thinking about yourself all 820 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: the time and said, think about what you should do 821 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 1: to help other people and to defend this country above yourself. 822 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: Stop being a narcissist all the time, and start acting 823 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: with duty and obligation. I'll close with this and then 824 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: we'll do some questions. It is very tempting for you 825 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: to think like a victim. As a conservative on campus, 826 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm outnumbered, I get graded terribly. Guess what opposition is 827 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: part of life? You have a choice. You can complain 828 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 1: about all the opposition that you receive, or you can 829 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: embrace it and say this is going to make me stronger, 830 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: this is going to make me tougher. Every single one 831 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 1: of you will become a stronger and tougher and more 832 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 1: likely to succeed adult later and later in life because 833 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: of the opposition that you experience. I want you to 834 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 1: think about the other people on campus that scream like 835 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: maniacs because you use the wrong pronoun Are they going 836 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 1: to be people that are going to be more likely 837 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: to succeed? Because here's the issue. You could try to 838 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 1: remove all the different sorts of triggers. Oh, your pronouns 839 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 1: or I don't like your Turning Point USA sign, or 840 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to have an event or you're not 841 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 1: allowed to table on campus. You can keep on trying 842 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 1: to remove the triggering type of elements, but eventually, in 843 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: life you're gonna have to face what you hate the most. 844 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 1: And you, as a Turning Point USA leader, you've had 845 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: to do that at a very very young age. You 846 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: know what opposition looks like. And I'm sure at the 847 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: beginning it feels rather intimidating. They call you all these 848 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 1: nasty names. You know how to deal with it. But 849 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 1: then after a month they're like, I don't care. After 850 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: six months, how many times give be called a racist? 851 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: Who here has been called a racist because of being 852 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 1: involved a Turning Point USA. Raise your hand, look around. 853 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: It's not the most It means nothing. It means nothing. 854 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: You tell them, say, okay, what else you got for me? Bigot, xenophobe, sexist, misogynistic, colonialistic, transphobe, 855 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 1: Just be like, look, I'm a patriot, I love this country. 856 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: Your name calling means nothing to me. It means nothing 857 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: to me. In fact, they have diluted and they have 858 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: watered down those terms so much because they cannot engage 859 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: in debate. They cannot talk of values, they cannot talk 860 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: about reason, logic, history, principles, eternal wisdom. So they must 861 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: result to weaponized name calling. And as soon as you 862 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: tell them your name calling does nothing to me, it 863 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: means nothing to me, I'm gonna keep on growing. I'm 864 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 1: gonna keep on organizing. What are you gonna do about it? 865 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,959 Speaker 1: And then sometimes they'll flip your table or throw something 866 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: at you, because that's all that they have left is 867 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: that every day your existence as a Turning Point Chapter 868 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: leader weakens their stranglehold on this country. Our movement is ascendant, 869 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: it is growing, it is multiplying by numbers. Recent polls 870 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 1: show that young men are the most conservative they have 871 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: been in fifty years fifty years and that's right. And 872 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: young ladies, we're making some progress. We just had our 873 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: Young Women's Leadership Summit, oney, five hundred young women. It 874 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: was amazing. They are four points less liberal than they 875 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: were a couple of years ago. Gen Z is on 876 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: pace to be the most conservative younger generation since nineteen 877 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 1: eighty eight. That is gen Z, everybody, and you are 878 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 1: playing a huge role. You play a bigger role than 879 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 1: you even realize, because for every single one of you, 880 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: there are a couple thousand students that wish they could 881 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: speak out like you do. And courage is a choice. 882 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: It takes no skill to be courageous. You might come 883 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: up to the microphone and say, Charlie, I don't know 884 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: my talent, I don't know my skill. The cool thing 885 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: about being courageous is you just have to say, I 886 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 1: choose to be courageous. That's it. And every one of 887 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,359 Speaker 1: you have already made a step in that direction by 888 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: being a turning point chapter leader. We are on the 889 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: edge of making gen Z historically conservative. And they never 890 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: thought this would happen. They thought that the environmental death 891 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: cult and the trans nonsense and the BLM crap was 892 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: going to turn gen Z into the most liberal generation 893 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: ever instead turning pointsay and your leadership organizing every single 894 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 1: day is pushing back against those lies, painting a different picture, 895 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: saying you know what, I want you to be able 896 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: to own a home, get married, have children, and live 897 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: in a decent country and not have to live under 898 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 1: this nonsense that they've been doing in this country. And 899 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: so what you are doing every day is making a 900 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 1: profound and real difference. And courage is a choice, and 901 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 1: the rest of your life you will continue to have 902 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: those choices. And the more often that you choose the deep, 903 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: the difficult, but the right path over the easy path 904 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 1: is one that will reward you, your family, and this 905 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: beautiful nation. Let's do some questions. God bless you guys, 906 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. All right, we'll start lining up here. 907 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna do it hands or lining. 908 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what the proper protocol is for that. 909 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 1: Think we're going to we'll do lines, Okay, so start 910 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: lining up, guys. I will not be able to get 911 00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 1: all to all the questions. I'm gonna warn you in advance. 912 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: So let's let's just try our best. Let's get to 913 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,800 Speaker 1: as many as we can. All right, We're gonna start on. 914 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 1: You're right, Hi, Charlie, How are you all right? 915 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 16: So? 916 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 17: I was born and raised in Russia, and I saw 917 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 17: what communism is. I used to be a communist. And 918 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 17: when you see college students all over the country, and 919 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 17: I've seen your videos, you know, debating with them, how 920 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 17: else can we convince them that communism and socialism just 921 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 17: never works. And as much as we try on our campuses, 922 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 17: it still seems like a lot of the professor's faculty 923 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 17: staff are still pushing it, although they know what's going 924 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 17: on in Cuba, North Korea, Russia and all over the 925 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 17: you know, Eastern Ulye. 926 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 1: So I've been wanting to do this for years, but 927 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: I am now going to do this. I'm gonna go 928 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 1: raise some money from our donors to give a hundred 929 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: communists on campus one way tickets to Venezuela and Cuba. 930 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,160 Speaker 1: Do you guys think that's a great idea. I think 931 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Do you guys think you could 932 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: help recruit for that. Do you know a bunch of 933 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: communists and you'll take them? I think that's a great idea. 934 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 1: I think we should advertise at all expense paid one 935 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 1: way ticket because you don't you shouldn't have to return. 936 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 1: You can go to your paradise and you could choose me. 937 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 1: You know, choose your country. You could choose Cuba, or 938 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,360 Speaker 1: you could choose Venezuela, or you can choose North Korea 939 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: and have a great time in pyeong Yang. Look what 940 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about very important. God made us a certain way, 941 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: and we are rebelling against how God designed us because 942 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 1: we are ungrateful. It is very difficult to teach young 943 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 1: people how bad civilization can get when they have been 944 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 1: raised and the wealthiest, most prosperous nation ever to exist 945 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: in the history of the world. The struggle in front 946 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: of us is trying to teach young people why we're 947 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 1: able to have the wealthiest, most prosperous, best civilization ever 948 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: to exist, and the communists seek to destroy that, to 949 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,839 Speaker 1: take over this nation and to disintegrate it from within. 950 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 1: It is not an easy thing to do. However, I 951 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,760 Speaker 1: am very hopeful. I'm hopeful because more and more people 952 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 1: are seeing the introductory stages of what this looks like. 953 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: They are fleeing California, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, 954 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 1: are many examples of what the rest of the nation 955 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: will look like if we continue down this Marxist communist path. 956 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: But more and most importantly is the cultural stuff that 957 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: the Marxists are pushing. The political correctness, censorship of free speech, 958 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 1: the trans stuff men and women's sports is turning a 959 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: lot of young people, and young men in particular, saying, 960 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: this is what they're putting forward, and in communism, you 961 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 1: know this. They must eliminate three things. Communists must destroy 962 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: three things. They must destroy the family, they must destroy 963 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: your connection to the divine, and they must destroy your 964 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: ability to own private property. In America, they're succeeding in 965 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: all three regards. Less and less people are getting married 966 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: and having children, less and less people are going to church, 967 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 1: and it is harder than ever to buy a home 968 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: in this country, more expensive than ever. The communist takeover 969 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: the country is well underway. We stop that by confronting them, 970 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 1: calling them out for who they are, and educating those 971 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: in the middle and those that are open minded about 972 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 1: our value system and our worldview. Thank you so much. 973 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you. 974 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 18: How can I how can I effectively run for student 975 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 18: body president and SGA at my college when facing slander 976 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 18: from a socialist and communist group on their website and 977 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 18: their social media, What specific points should I emphasize in 978 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 18: my campaign as a strong Christian conservative? 979 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 25: Oh? 980 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: What school? Un C Charlotte Great? So we have a 981 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: whole department of turning point call our campus victory Project. 982 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: We'd love to connect you with that. That just involves 983 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: in student body president. My first piece of advice is 984 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 1: ignore the noise and just keep organizing and keep on 985 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: collecting votes. Cannot allow name calling to determine what you do. 986 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 1: It's a very important life principle. What you do in 987 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,400 Speaker 1: life should never be impacted by the names that you 988 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 1: are called, and that whatever you do or don't do 989 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 1: should be about whether it's the right thing or the 990 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 1: wrong thing, not whether or not people are hurling insults 991 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: at you. That's all the Left has is name calling, smear, slander. 992 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: I've not allowed to impact my life. I am one 993 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: of the most smeared and slandered public figures in America. 994 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: I get called a Nazi, a white supremacist every single day, 995 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: and it means nothing because it is a lie. And 996 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: guess what, We just had the largest Blexit event yesterday 997 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 1: in turning Point USA history. It was amazing. And here 998 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: they say, oh, Charlie's a white supremacist. So really look 999 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: at their Blexit movement. That's really something. And these are liars. 1000 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 1: These are bad people, and you can confront it every 1001 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 1: so often, as you've seen in my videos, say hey, 1002 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 1: what about I ever said that's racist? They have nothing, 1003 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: They can never defend their positions, and do not be 1004 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 1: afraid to confront a bully or a liar when they 1005 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: are lying about you. But more importantly, your action, your 1006 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 1: decisions should never be impacted by other people's name calling. 1007 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: God blessed, thanks so much. Uh from New Mexico. Yeah, yeah, Oklahoma. 1008 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 19: But so in Oklahoma, a lot of people hide behind 1009 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 19: being from Oklahoma because it's a red state and they're 1010 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 19: fair weather conservatives. I feel like that's more dangerous than 1011 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 19: leftists themselves. 1012 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: How can we. 1013 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 19: Help turn those people from fair weather conservatives to true conservatives. 1014 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a good problem to have. I'm 1015 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 1: sure my New Yorkers are like, you know, stop at 1016 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 1: you Oklahomans. You have it, you have it, just fine. 1017 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: Let me tell you that the reason why the Oklahomans 1018 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: are are fair weather fans or they're fair weather conservatives, 1019 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: is because they have not experienced, seen or lived what 1020 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 1: happens when the left starts take over your state or 1021 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 1: take over your institutions. This is why my favorite people 1022 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 1: in the country are the patriots from California and New 1023 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 1: York and Oregon and Washington. And I mean no offense, 1024 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: by the way, and because and by the way, they 1025 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 1: should be all of your favorite people. Because it's very 1026 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: hard to be a conservative in California. But why are 1027 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 1: they doing it? Because it is out of necessity. They're like, 1028 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 1: you have no idea how bad it can get. So 1029 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 1: part of it is that they haven't suffered enough, and 1030 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: we hope that they will not suffer. But there's plenty 1031 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: of trans nonsense in Oklahoma. There's plenty of garbage there. 1032 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: So you have to first educate on values, build people up, 1033 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: and your movement should not be solely on opposition. You 1034 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: should also be in favor of the values we stand for. 1035 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, appreciate it. 1036 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 20: Yes, well, can we do to push it back against 1037 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 20: school administration that cancels our events? 1038 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 8: But let's leftist BSU speakers come in that exact same week. 1039 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 8: What school do you go to Red Mountain High School. 1040 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 1: Oh high school, So sue them. And so we'd be 1041 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: happy to help you with that with the Alliance Defending Freedom. 1042 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 1: Not kidding. If you go to a public school, it's 1043 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 1: a public school. If you go to a public school 1044 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,600 Speaker 1: and there is even an inch or an iota or 1045 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 1: a sliver of favoritism away from your turning point USA 1046 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: chapter towards a left wing chapter, whether it be a 1047 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: high school or a college chapter, we will sue their 1048 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 1: socks off immediately. So you let us know. Now if 1049 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 1: they are a private school, you have a whole separate issue. 1050 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 1: They're allowed to do that. As a private school, they 1051 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 1: just start. They're allowed to decide what speakers come and 1052 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 1: don't come. They might be violating their school policy. Much 1053 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 1: more difficult public school. The Supreme Court has ruled viewpoint 1054 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: neutrality with tax payer dollars. And so if you have 1055 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: the documents, we'd be happy to work with you with 1056 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: Alliance Defending Freedom or one of our organizational partners. We 1057 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 1: have successfully done this at tons of schools across the country, 1058 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: and don't be afraid to do that at high school 1059 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: or college. And all of a sudden they get brief 1060 01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 1: by their lawyers. They get very, very scared because they're 1061 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: in the wrong and they must fear a legal price 1062 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: for discriminating against conservatives. God bless you. Thank you. 1063 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 21: Hi Charlie. 1064 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 22: Okay, so I saw you at the Women's conference, and 1065 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 22: I and get to ask you. But so you talk 1066 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 22: a lot about like being like well read and things 1067 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 22: like that and learning. I was wondering if you had 1068 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,479 Speaker 22: any good book suggestions because I absolutely love reading. 1069 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely. This is why I'm so against people going 1070 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 1: to college, because college you don't really learn much of anything. 1071 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: That's a value. Sorry, guys, sister, in your life you 1072 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 1: become as wise and as well informed as you choose 1073 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 1: to be. Whiz is a choice now. Six hundred years 1074 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: ago that was not the case. You have a supercomputer 1075 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 1: now in your right hand pocket that can give you 1076 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: millions of hours of information if you choose on any 1077 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 1: topic imaginable. And so you have a choice. I can 1078 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 1: go and get super drunk with friends on a Saturday night, 1079 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 1: or I can stay in and listen to deep and 1080 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: rich podcasts of intellectual type basis which one is going 1081 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 1: to better improve my life? And or you can listen 1082 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: to the Charlie Kirks Show. Thank you very much, and 1083 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: let me tell you, glory be to God for turning 1084 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 1: point USA, because God deserves the credit. However, I made 1085 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 1: the choice for twelve years now. I don't go out 1086 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: and party. I do not drink, I don't do drugs. 1087 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,920 Speaker 1: If you decide to do that, that's fine, but you'll 1088 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 1: pay a price. You won't be as successful, you won't 1089 01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,480 Speaker 1: be as happy. And that's okay. If getting drunk is 1090 01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 1: your because you got to write down your values, right 1091 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: and if one of your values is like drinking a 1092 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: lot of beer, that's fine, that's your decision. You will 1093 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 1: suffer because of that, but that's your choice. I made 1094 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 1: a decision that I don't want to live that life 1095 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: that I want to succeed. I want to try to 1096 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: accomplish something that is good for humanity. And so I 1097 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: read one hundred books a year. I listen to two 1098 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: to three hours a day of podcasting. And you can too, 1099 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: by the way, And if you're not, you're making a 1100 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,440 Speaker 1: decision to not be informed. You're making decision to be ignorant. 1101 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 1: And I'm being kind of tough on you guys, because 1102 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: what else are you doing that's more important? And If 1103 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 1: you think you're busier than I am, I'm sorry you're not. Like, 1104 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 1: just let's be honest, Okay. I do three hours of 1105 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: radio day. We got five hundred fifty people on staff. 1106 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: I got to raise a hundred million dollars a year, 1107 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and I got two kids under two. You're not busier 1108 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 1: than I am. Okay, and so you should say, well, 1109 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,160 Speaker 1: I want to be well informed. Okay, Then how many 1110 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: books are you are you reading? If it's under twenty five, 1111 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: you're not taking learning seriously. And that's why college is 1112 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: just complete waste of time because they're making you read 1113 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: absolute crap. Right, un let's go to Hillsdale or Liberty, 1114 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,080 Speaker 1: which I see two of you out there. So what 1115 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: books you should read? Mansearch for Meaning by Victor Frankel. 1116 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: It's one of the most important books that one could read. 1117 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Anything by C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity is really great, 1118 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: Abolition of Man, That Hideous Strength by Vishau Manglwadi, The 1119 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 1: Book that built your World. I love nineteen eighty four, 1120 01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, anything by Winston Churchill. 1121 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: He wrote over fifty books. There's no lack of books. 1122 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 1: I have book recommendations on my entire website. But if 1123 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: you want to succeed in life, prioritize reading over beer pong. 1124 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. 1125 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 22: Hi. 1126 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:42,440 Speaker 23: So the word liberalism, it's real. Liberalism is small government, 1127 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 23: it's not big government. So how you suggest that we 1128 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 23: take back the word liberal. 1129 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's important. So even with I don't love when 1130 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 1: people say that they're classically liberal because I still think 1131 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 1: there's problems. But there is a difference. It's an important 1132 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 1: question between liberal and left. Okay, Liberals are weak, leftists 1133 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 1: are evil. Big difference. Liberals will say, well, I don't 1134 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 1: believe in black only dormitories, but I'm not going to 1135 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: do anything about it. Leftists will say we believe in 1136 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 1: black only dormitories. If you disagree, you're a racist, Like wait, 1137 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 1: what like black only dormitories? Like where what are we 1138 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: doing now? So that that's very important. Liberals generally believe 1139 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 1: in free speech. Liberals are similar to Alan Dershowitz or 1140 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 1: Barry Weiss or Peter Bigogian. Do you guys know any 1141 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 1: of these names that I'm saying, they're more liberal in nature? 1142 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: Leftists control all the institutions. I am not a liberal though, 1143 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,680 Speaker 1: and I don't seek to try to win over the 1144 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: word liberal because I think liberalism has been a false 1145 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 1: promise that has infected the conservative movement that allow us 1146 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to continue to concede ground that has led us to leftism. 1147 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:58,120 Speaker 1: As a conservative, it's very simple. We as conservatives want 1148 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 1: to protect, preserve, and pass down the best for future generations. 1149 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 1: That's what a conservative is. What is the best the family, 1150 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 1: the church, the constitution, are borders, safe communities, unified national language, 1151 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: unified culture. We want to make sure those things are 1152 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: conserved against the forces that wish to destroy them. However, 1153 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: I have respect for liberals, but I wish that they 1154 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 1: would fight the left more, which they're very weak, so 1155 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 1: they end up not doing that, thank you very much. 1156 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm very passionate about def yes, aslu Pui right, Yes, yes, yes, so, 1157 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 4: I'm very passionate about school choice and school vouchers because 1158 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,560 Speaker 4: I was homeschooled and you've talked about it before. But 1159 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 4: my one concern is that if homeschoolers are receiving vouchers 1160 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 4: from the government for schooling, that could then lead to 1161 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 4: the government exerting power and influence over homeschoolers. So my 1162 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 4: question is a how do you think that we should 1163 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 4: be promoting school choice in each of our states? And 1164 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 4: be how do you think that we could fix the 1165 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 4: issue of government having control over homeschoolers. 1166 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 1: Super thoughtful question, and I'll address it quick. So I'm 1167 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,040 Speaker 1: very much in favor of homeschooling. When you all get older, 1168 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: we're homeschooling our kids, and hopefully you all have you know, five, 1169 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 1: six or seven children and you homeschool them all, and 1170 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: you can laugh. But children are a gift from the Lord, 1171 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,600 Speaker 1: and we need to reverse this fertility crisis. Okay, so 1172 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 1: a big time. And let me just warn you having 1173 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: children is hard. It is difficult, but it is worth it. 1174 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: It is worth it. Okay. We have not yet seen 1175 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,560 Speaker 1: evidence of the government controlling homeschoolers via vouchers, but it 1176 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: is a very very legitimate concern. And so I'm in 1177 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 1: favor of school choice, but I'm skeptical because I bet 1178 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: they're going to try to use it as a way 1179 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: to control homeschool populations. As someone who plans to homeschool 1180 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 1: both of our kids, I could tell you the government 1181 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 1: will come nowhere near what we're going to teach our kids. 1182 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: We're going to teach them the buy. We're gonna teach 1183 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: them the ancient Greeks. We're gonna teach them math the 1184 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 1: right way. We're gonna teach them scigns the right way. 1185 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna teach them the truth of the lgbt Q 1186 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 1: crap that has infected our country. And so yeah, we're 1187 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,879 Speaker 1: gonna teach them all about what is good, true, and beautiful, 1188 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:15,639 Speaker 1: and we're gonna tell the government to get the heck 1189 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: out of the way. And so I'm pro school choice, 1190 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,760 Speaker 1: but skeptical of what it potentially could become. So a 1191 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 1: great question, yes, sir, So. 1192 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 24: Over the last few years with Trump being now convicted, 1193 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 24: I think it's total crap. So him being convicted and 1194 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 24: then Steve Bannon about to be sentenced to jail two 1195 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 24: and Info Wars being I mean, how whatever you think 1196 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 24: about him, but anyway that trying to be liquidated and 1197 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 24: shut down. Me and my mom were having this conversation 1198 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 24: the other day and I didn't really have an answer 1199 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 24: for it. What what's the point of when our government 1200 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,800 Speaker 24: has become too tyrannical? Because it says in the Declaration 1201 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,680 Speaker 24: that whenever any form of government, government becomes astrective of 1202 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 24: these ends, is the right of the people to alter 1203 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 24: and abolish it an institute a new government laying it's 1204 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 24: foundation as such. So I don't know what the answer 1205 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,759 Speaker 24: to that is, and I was hoping you can answer. 1206 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 1: So that is a boy. The questions are so deep. 1207 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:18,320 Speaker 1: You guys are so impressive. 1208 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 22: Uh. 1209 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: First of all, is that accent not the coolest thing 1210 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: you've ever heard? I just love that. There is something 1211 01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 1: beautiful about a true West Texas accent. No offense to 1212 01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,600 Speaker 1: East Texans, The West Texas is way better. It's just 1213 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 1: that that is pitch perfect. I love it you. Uh now, 1214 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,680 Speaker 1: Cajun no no, no, no, no no. I can only 1215 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 1: understand every half of every word. I love Cajun Hot 1216 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: Sauce though, okay, exactly, I don't pander. I have my 1217 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,240 Speaker 1: own Kirk's Hot Sauce. It's a real thing. You can 1218 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: check it out kirks Hotsauce dot com. It's actually really good, right, 1219 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 1: it's actually really good Kirk's Hot Sauce dot com. It's 1220 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 1: not a joke. And I don't pander. So the answer is, 1221 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 1: we don't know, but it's very important. I don't think 1222 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:07,080 Speaker 1: we're there yet. Number one, Number two in classical education. 1223 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: There's a word called prudence, and Churchill loved this word, 1224 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: and Lincoln loved this word, and Washington loved this word. 1225 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Prudence is called practical judgment or applied wisdom. It is 1226 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 1: meaning there's no formula, but using your the wisdom of 1227 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 1: what you have read and experienced, you apply it to 1228 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: that situation and you make a prudent choice. Meaning I 1229 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 1: can't tell you what that looks like, except that if 1230 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: we pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit for wisdom, 1231 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,200 Speaker 1: and we learn and we read enough, we'll know it 1232 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 1: when we see it. I will say this, We are 1233 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,800 Speaker 1: closer to this than I would ever have believed. And 1234 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 1: your question is a little bit. The media hates your question. 1235 01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: I love it because they'll say, oh, Charlie, you need 1236 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 1: to denounce it, as if there's no time that we 1237 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: ever have to fight our government. I don't think we're 1238 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 1: near that. I hope we never let me say, Milga clear, 1239 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how near we are. We're getting closer 1240 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,720 Speaker 1: to that, hope. I hope we never get to that. 1241 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,720 Speaker 1: But I also will not lie to you, guys. I'll 1242 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: never lie ever, which is a fantasy. We may get 1243 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 1: there where our government does become tyrannical, and that's why 1244 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,400 Speaker 1: we have a second Amendment. And so I don't know 1245 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,680 Speaker 1: what when we actually hit that point, but saying that 1246 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,559 Speaker 1: we will never hit that point is how you end 1247 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 1: up with the Soviet Union or mouse China or Auschwitz. 1248 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,599 Speaker 1: And so we should all be involved locally and keep 1249 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,639 Speaker 1: on trying to win back the country so we never 1250 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,880 Speaker 1: have to get to that point. But saying it will 1251 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 1: never happen is lying to ourselves and living in a 1252 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 1: mass delusion. Thank you so much, appreciate it. 1253 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 25: So I'm from West Michigan. I go to Grand Valley 1254 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,560 Speaker 25: State University.

And I just want to know what advice, 1279 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 16: What do you have to say to all the artists 1280 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,719 Speaker 16: in here who want to get creative within their chapter 1281 01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:18,680 Speaker 16: and do whatever they. 1282 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 1: Can love that question. Has anyone noticed the last hundred 1283 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: years of art is crap? That it's by the way 1284 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 1: this much, you must be unafraid, by the way, if 1285 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 1: you want to trigger the bad guys on campus. Just 1286 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:38,680 Speaker 1: crap on modern art because it is garbage. And by 1287 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: the way, I'm just give an example, a banana peal 1288 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,800 Speaker 1: on the ground is considered art. At you want to 1289 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,320 Speaker 1: do a total troll, somebody should do that. They've done 1290 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 1: this before and it's hilarious. Just go have like a 1291 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:52,560 Speaker 1: half eaten snicker bar, go into the Modern Museum of 1292 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 1: Art and leave it on the ground, take a hundred 1293 01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 1: steps back and film and there will be people that 1294 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 1: will go up and think it's an art exhibit. I'm 1295 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 1: not kidding though. They've done this before where people will 1296 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 1: like eat half an orange and they'll say, this is 1297 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: so profound, this is just really deep. I wonder what 1298 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 1: the artist is trying to tell me here nothing, it's 1299 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,600 Speaker 1: trash and this is very important. So, starting in the 1300 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 1: nineteen twenties, there was a French artist by the name 1301 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 1: of Marcel Duchamp. You guys can fact check me on 1302 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 1: that name. I believe it's Marcel Duchamp if I'm going 1303 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: drawing from the memory. He was a nihilist. You guys 1304 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,479 Speaker 1: know what nihilism is. It's a belief in nothing. If 1305 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: we are, if we are honest with your struggle on 1306 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: campus every day you are fighting against nihilism as a 1307 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 1: turning point. USA Chapter Leader. Let's just be honest. You 1308 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 1: believe that life has purpose, has meaning, has depth, and 1309 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 1: you're here for a reason. They do not. Marcel Duchamp 1310 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 1: had signed a yearnal with and he said, this is 1311 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:24,639 Speaker 1: an art exhibit and he was celebrated by the modern 1312 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 1: art crew as being a genius. And he started. Now 1313 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:33,720 Speaker 1: a hundred year slide of modern art that is about confusion, 1314 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 1: disarray and irony. What was art before Marcel Duchamp and 1315 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 1: especially before nineteen fifties, it was beautiful because Mozart, Beethoven, 1316 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 1: even a little bit. Picasso kind of sucks, but he 1317 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:55,800 Speaker 1: was not as bad. But Monet, which was every single song. 1318 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,560 Speaker 1: Let's just take Mozart and Beethoven or Heiden that was 1319 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 1: my favorite composers. Every single piece of music that they wrote, 1320 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 1: they wrote in Latin Glory be to God. The first 1321 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 1: thing they wrote before they wrote a note was Glory 1322 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: be to God. Art in the Western world used to 1323 01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 1: point up, It used to glorify the divine. It used 1324 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,840 Speaker 1: to be about trying to contemplate what is good and 1325 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 1: what is true and eternal and beautiful. Now art is 1326 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 1: about yourself, for your feelings. So, if you are serious 1327 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,680 Speaker 1: about being an artist, first and foremost, what are you 1328 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,240 Speaker 1: trying to celebrate? You're trying to point up. You're trying 1329 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 1: to go towards that things that are always there, that 1330 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,759 Speaker 1: are eternal. If you look at the Payta in Florence, Italy, 1331 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 1: or if you look at Michelangelo's incredible Assistine Chapel, if 1332 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 1: you go through Leonardo da Vinci, these are people that 1333 01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: were even though they might have had different religious views, 1334 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: they were trying to glorify the eternal. No one can 1335 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 1: tell me modern music is trying to glorify the eternal. 1336 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: And that's why modern rap music is crap, and you 1337 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't listen to it, okay, And so instead you should 1338 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,120 Speaker 1: listen to music, and you should consume art that nourishes 1339 01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 1: and feeds and saturates your soul, isn't at war with it. 1340 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, appreciate it, Yes. 1341 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 19: Hi, Charlie. 1342 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:41,640 Speaker 21: So, I know a lot of students are afraid to 1343 01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 21: stand up to their institutions because they're afraid of being 1344 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,519 Speaker 21: punished and all that stuff. I just had to take 1345 01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,600 Speaker 21: a class where we had to learn about Marxism and 1346 01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:54,960 Speaker 21: communism University of Central Oklahoma. It is like the little 1347 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,719 Speaker 21: blue speck in the middle of that huge red state. 1348 01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,200 Speaker 21: But I was just wondering how we can peacefully fight 1349 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,760 Speaker 21: against institutions and protest this kind of brainwashing without being 1350 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,519 Speaker 21: without fear of being punished. 1351 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Was the Marxism communism class? Was it taught favorably or unfavorably? 1352 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,560 Speaker 21: It was very much taught favorably. Like not the curriculum, 1353 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 21: but the professors. 1354 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,720 Speaker 1: See. This is what drives me nuts. Is Oklahoma is 1355 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: one of the red estates, if not the red estate 1356 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,200 Speaker 1: in the country. I know, Governor Stitt, why are they 1357 01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 1: still funding these schools. I don't understand why we fund 1358 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,960 Speaker 1: left wing institutions. Could you imagine in New York if 1359 01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,720 Speaker 1: they funded like fifty Hillsdale colleges, they would never do that. 1360 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 1: So why do we fund their left wing institutions and 1361 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,320 Speaker 1: our red states? So you should petition your state legislature 1362 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,879 Speaker 1: to defund your school, like defund University of Central Oklahoma. 1363 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 1: Make them survive on their own, go raise their own money. 1364 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,160 Speaker 1: They're teaching you classes on Marxism and communism, Like what 1365 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 1: is that all about? And I'm gonna if it's okay 1366 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 1: with you, I'm gonna share this clip with Governor Stitt, 1367 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 1: who I really like, and say, why are you still 1368 01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: funding these schools? Get rid of it, cut their entire budget. Now, 1369 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:02,760 Speaker 1: if you would have told me that it was a 1370 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,840 Speaker 1: Marxism in Communism class and it was the truth of 1371 01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 1: the history of Marxism communism, I'm fine with that because 1372 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,639 Speaker 1: the truth is very important to teach, right, But it's 1373 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 1: not that way. You should challenge that professor relentlessly. You 1374 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: should be an annoying bug in his ear every time 1375 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: you show up. Every one of you guys should take this. 1376 01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,519 Speaker 1: By the way, grades mean nothing. Let me be very clear, 1377 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 1: as someone who's had a little bit of success, glory 1378 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 1: be to God in my life. Grades mean nothing. When 1379 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: I go and greet President Trump, he's not gonna say, 1380 01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 1: uh so, what were your grades in high school? Nobody 1381 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 1: cares if you think grades matter. They only might matter 1382 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: if you want to get to become like in a 1383 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,280 Speaker 1: med school or law school. Maybe do you know what matters? 1384 01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 1: Your character matters? Okay, not your grades. Your grades mean nothing. 1385 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:48,600 Speaker 1: You come up to me and you say, you know, 1386 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: I got straight a's on maga cum laudam, Like I 1387 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 1: that's kind of weird that you introduce yourself that way, 1388 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: and I really couldn't care less. Tell me, are how 1389 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,080 Speaker 1: do you act when no one's looking? Are you a 1390 01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 1: person that's actually gonna be one of good integrity? Are 1391 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 1: you going to defend the week when they're under attack? 1392 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:03,519 Speaker 1: Are you going to tell the truth when there's a 1393 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 1: price that matters a lot more than honor society at 1394 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: Yale or whatever? Nonsense? So challenge your professor relentlessly, do 1395 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,400 Speaker 1: it respectfully, and keep on asking the tough questions. I mean, like, 1396 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,760 Speaker 1: has this ever worked? Why do you think that is? 1397 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 1: Why do you think that you know it's a murder 1398 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,400 Speaker 1: spree every time communism has been employed? Thank you so much. 1399 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: This is the final question, bless and then I'm gonna 1400 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 1: introduce Lorraine Keijo. She's an amazing patriot. Yes, miss, Ma'm hi. 1401 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,240 Speaker 8: So I'm from Clark County, Washington State, and. 1402 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:32,639 Speaker 25: I just had a question. 1403 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 26: I have a lot of respect and admiration for you 1404 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,120 Speaker 26: starting turning point from literally your garage from the ground up, 1405 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,919 Speaker 26: and I tried doing something similar in Washington very difficult. 1406 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 26: So I just was wondering if you had like any 1407 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 26: tips on what you did to make. 1408 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,200 Speaker 8: It as far as you have so far. 1409 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well the first was not going to college. So 1410 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,599 Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to bash college too much because 1411 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:56,760 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys are kind of 1412 01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 1: invested in the scam. But that's fine. So but yeah, look, 1413 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,880 Speaker 1: if you want to succeed, you know going to going 1414 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:04,640 Speaker 1: to college is a really good way to not do 1415 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 1: that because think about it, while many of my peers 1416 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 1: were going into tons of debt and we're studying stuff 1417 01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. I had a four year head start, 1418 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 1: So I had a four year jumpstart where I was 1419 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 1: able to travel the country, meet new people, speak at events. 1420 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: So by the time that my peers in high school 1421 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,840 Speaker 1: were graduating college at the age of twenty two, at 1422 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,439 Speaker 1: the age of twenty two and twenty sixteen, I was 1423 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,639 Speaker 1: on a first name basis with then candidate Donald Trump. 1424 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 1: We had seventy five employees. You know, a firm but 1425 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 1: mighty budget. How is that possible? Well, first of all, 1426 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 1: I traveled three hundred and thirty days a year, so 1427 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,320 Speaker 1: you have to be willing to outwork everybody. There is 1428 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 1: no replacement for hard work. I've traveled three thousand days 1429 01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 1: in the last decade and so it's an overnight success story. Turney, 1430 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 1: it's a twelve year overnight success story at Turning Point USA. 1431 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 1: You have to outwork everybody, you have to be willing 1432 01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,519 Speaker 1: to ask for help, and then just pray for the 1433 01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,240 Speaker 1: favor of God because he really deserves the credit for 1434 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:57,720 Speaker 1: what we've it's been able to happen here at Turning 1435 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Point USA. So thank you so much. Thank you all right, 1436 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 1: and closing everybody, and then I'm going to introduce Lorraine. 1437 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 1: Is that we could take back this country. But it 1438 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 1: starts with every single one of you. The enemy and 1439 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: the bad guys will lead you to believe that what 1440 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,960 Speaker 1: you do does not matter. I will go a radical 1441 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 1: step in the other direction. Everything you do matters, from 1442 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,640 Speaker 1: how you talk, to how you dress, to how you communicate, 1443 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,600 Speaker 1: to the words you use, to whether you fight for 1444 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,919 Speaker 1: good or evil, for whether you fight against this nonsense. 1445 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: It does not matter whether or not you think you 1446 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 1: are making an impact. It matters of whether or not 1447 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 1: you do the right thing. The impact will come if 1448 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 1: six hundred plus people are doing the right thing simultaneously 1449 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: having that force multiplier impact on campuses across the country. 1450 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 1: That is what gives me hope and you guys give 1451 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:49,879 Speaker 1: me such amazing 1452 01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:09,759 Speaker 18: Conti to Station SEP
