1
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to Turning Point.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Tonight.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: We're together, we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback.

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I'll allow us to say Happy New Year. We're close

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: to the new year, so you can say. I know

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: we've been pretty stringent on Merry Christmas, been saying Merry Christmas.

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: This is still the Christmas break that we are currently on.

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: I of course wanted to be here live with you,

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: but our staff, for some reason, I guess, needs vacation

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: at some point in time. So that's why we're going

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: to bring you. Probably well, I was gonna say the

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: second best option, but really this is the first Beck's option.

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was famous for going on tour. This is

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: from the Live Free Tour at Charlie Kirk event at

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Florida State in twenty twenty two. Watch and enjoy a

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: master and a skillful wordsmith live at the Live Free

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Tour stop.

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, great to be here, Thank you, Thank you

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: to our great Turning Point USA chapter. Give it up

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: for them. They work so hard putting this together. They're

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: such a great job. Thank you guys. I understand we

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: have some friends outside as well. It's too bad. Maybe

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: they're in the room, or maybe they'll be here later.

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: Who knows nothing that we haven't seen before. Actually, last

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: time I was at Florida State University, it was anyone

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: at that speech a couple of years ago, maybe a

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: freshman or two. Yeah, that was the last speech I

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: gave before all the lockdowns, actually, and that was a

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: lot of fun. I remember we actually got a question

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: at that event. Someone said, Hey, Charlie, what do you

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: think about this COVID thing? And it turns out it

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: just changed our entire society. Well, let me rephrase that,

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: the way we reacted to it changed our entire society,

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: which was one of the worst mistakes I think we've

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: ever made as a country and as a civilization. So

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that, but I do want to address

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: one of these flyers that they have Kirk off campus,

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: which is just hilarious. I've actually never heard that one before.

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: But there's one part of it that I do want

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: to focus on, where it says Florida State University continues

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: to platform far right influencers like Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro. Love.

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Ben does a great job. These people invade our communities.

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing tonight. We're invading is that right

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: spread their misinformation and oftentimes get funding from the university

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: to do it. This must change. Join us in protesting. Okay,

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: But I want to talk about the misinformation thing because

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: that's such an interesting thing, because you're starting to hear

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: that more and more in our society right now, which

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: is that people on the right are somehow purveyors of misinformation.

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: And you know, everything we do is root than facts

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: and what's you know can be proven. And it's not

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: misinformation that they're worried about or facts. It's facts they

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: don't like. It's facts that they want to make sure

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: that students don't hear, or opinions that are actually not

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: going to be able to be presented. But while we're

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: on the topic of misinformation, shouldn't we talk about actually

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: who's been spreading the most misinformation over the last couple

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: of years. And I was thinking about some of the

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: biggest stories kind of that have dominated the American news cycle.

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: You remember for quite some time during the twenty twenty

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: presidential election, there was and again here's just a good

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: rule for life, like exhibit A of why not to

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: do crack cocaine. It makes you do really dumb things like,

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, drop off your laptop at a laptop

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: repair shop and forget to pick it up. And by

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: the way, who used laptop repair shops anymore? The whole

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: thing's so bizarre. So Hunter drops off his laptop repair

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: his laptop at a laptop repair shop, forgets to go

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: pick it up, and then somehow it expires over a

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: certain window and the property becomes the computer repair shop

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: his laptop, and then he then gives it to Rudy Giuliani,

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, there's this laptop out there,

73
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: and almost instantaneously, the media picked up a story that

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 2: was complete and total disinformation and misinformation, which was that

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: fifty Intel experts came out and they said, this story

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: is Russian disinformation. Remember this right in the midst of

77
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: an election, and you might love Biden, you might hate Biden,

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: you might say I hate Trump, I love Trump, whatever,

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: but that's cheating. You're not allowed to do that. You're

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 2: not allowed to all of a sudden come out using

81
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: the media, social media and Intel agencies and say this

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: is Russian disinformation because of the story that you're afraid

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: might actually impact the election results, and so who got

84
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: held accountable for spreading that misinformation or disinformation?

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: Nobody.

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: They just kind of shrugged their shoulders. In fact, Mark

87
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg just recently came out on an interview with Joe Rogan,

88
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: and Joe Rogan is awesome. He's one of the last

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: I think legitimate free speech liberals. I don't even if

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: he's a liberal libertarian, what are you gona call him?

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: He's entertaining and smart and fun. And actually, here's other

92
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: ideas which is refreshing, where Mark Zuckerberg went on Rogan's

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: show and basically said, yeah, the FBI made a special

94
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: visit to Facebook headquarters and told us that we have

95
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: to clamp down on this story. And so, if you

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: tried to share the Hunter Biden laptop story in the

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 2: midst of the election season, which by the way, contained,

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: let's just say, some rather juicy and salacious details about

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: not just Hunter's personal co but the soon to be

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: potential president of the United States doing business deals with

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: their adversaries, and if you even talked about it on Twitter,

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: you had your Twitter account suspended for spreading disinformation and misinformation.

103
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: So you gotta wonder, like who's actually the ones that

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: are spreading the misinformation our country. Remember this story where

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: they said that the virus came from a bat in

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: Himalayan mountains. Remember that they said, Oh, yeah, it's just

107
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: kind of came came from a random you know, wet

108
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: market is what they said. Well, now we know that

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: it was from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In fact,

110
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: early in the pandemic and our reaction to the pandemic,

111
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: if you dared even say that it came from the

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Wuhan Institute of Virology, then you could have lost your

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: social media account and then you could be labeled as

114
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: a disinformation artist. I see a pattern we're going to

115
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: keep on going through this list that sometimes when they

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: go the hardest after disinformation, it actually tends to be

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: one of the most truthful things that actually ends up

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: needing to be discussed and to be to be spread

119
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: and heard about. Another one that I think is really

120
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: interesting and important was during the summer of twenty twenty,

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: during Floyda Palooza, when we decided to destroy our entire

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: country around a lie that America is systemically racist, which

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: of course we're not. We're the least racist country ever

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: to exist in the history of the world. We're very

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: decent country. We don't give ourselves credit for that. Is

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: the mostly peaceful protest. And my favorite picture was CNN

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: that was doing their news hit while the Wendy's behind

128
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: them was burning, like, yeah, it's mostly peaceful out there.

129
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Things are fine, and you extrapolate that through public opinion

130
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: polls and what people actually thought, and it was this

131
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: amazing kind of contradiction where the media was telling us

132
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: everything was peaceful, ivan was fine, or they said, oh, yeah,

133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: protest thing needs to be disagreeable. Who says it needs

134
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: to be peaceful when it actually became very clear that

135
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: entire cities were burning down. And I can go through

136
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: story after story from how they mislabeled Kyle Rittenhouse to

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: Nicholas Sandman to how they told us at the vaccines

138
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: we're going to prevent transmission and that it was one

139
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: hundred percent safe and effective, and you got to wonder, like, Okay,

140
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: so you guys are ones that are spreading misinformation, and

141
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: here's the best way you respond to misinformation is just

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: we're not going to you up, and you don't shut

143
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: us up, and then we're able to disagree and we're

144
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: able to have dialogue because you guys are going to

145
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: spread all this nonsense. But that's not what's happening here.

146
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: What's happening is they label anyone on the American right

147
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: that might have a difference of opinion. All of a sudden,

148
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: they say, we are now going to be able to

149
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: use force and power to be able to stop your

150
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: ability to speak and so speech and we take it

151
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: for granted, and it's quickly disappearing in our country. Because

152
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: there's two forms of censorship and we'll talk about both

153
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: of them tonight. One that happens internally and one has

154
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: internally when happens externally. Is the speech is the best

155
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: way to be able to find out what's true and

156
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: how you react to certain crises or things happening in

157
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: your country or civilization. If you are not able to

158
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: consume information that is accurate, for not even say information

159
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: that's accurate as you see things happening in real time,

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: you're living in some form of a tierny period.

161
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: And it's it's really.

162
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Interesting because the big censorship in this country is not

163
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: just coming from the government that's obviously happening with you know,

164
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: the kind of intimidation of people on the right, from

165
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: raiding mar A Lago to aiding pro life leaders across

166
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: the country, the unprecedented weaponization of our government. But it's

167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: also happening where people say, Charlie, I if I spoke

168
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: out the way you do, I would lose my job,

169
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: I'd get kicked out of class, I would get graded differently.

170
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I want to have a career. The biggest form of

171
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: censorship in this country is you shutting up you And

172
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: it's people that say, I'm afraid to wear a maga

173
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: hat to go to a grocery. So I'm sure we

174
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: have some mega hat here. God bless you. Someone that

175
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: has the courage to do that. Always somebody, there's always

176
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: that right front row there you go, and there's always somebody.

177
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: But most people they do it and quiet, and the

178
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: question should be why. I mean, you could see kind

179
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: of the apparatrics outside. They obviously are unashamed, you know,

180
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: to spew their venom, and that's what they have a

181
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: right to do. That they have a right to, you know,

182
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: say whatever they want to say. And that's fine. But

183
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: here's the thing is that I'm confident, and you should

184
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: be confident if you love liberty and freedom. We're going

185
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: to beat those people. I mean, just look at them.

186
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: Obviously we're going to beat them. But all we need

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: is an opportunity to speak. They know that if there's

188
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: actually a marketplace of ideas and you're allowed to have

189
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: ideas spread and people be persuaded, then that's a massive

190
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: threat to the current status quo that they're trying to

191
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: usher in. And you go through topic after topic after

192
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: topic after topic, and so I always find it chuckling

193
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: when people, you know, kind of zero in on that

194
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: misinformation thing. And that's not to say that people don't

195
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: get things wrong. I do my best to try to

196
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: correct things. You might get facts and figures that are off,

197
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 2: and you should do your best to you know, kind

198
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: of so that wasn't right or that should be you know,

199
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: focused on more. But no, you have entire narratives where

200
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: there is a posture and an intent around things that

201
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: are completely and totally fabricated.

202
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: I'll give you another example.

203
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: So a public opinion poll, they ask just you know,

204
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: a thousand adults in America, how many blacks do you

205
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: think are killed by whites every single year?

206
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: Okay?

207
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: Or how many unarmed blacks do you think are killed

208
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: by whites every single year, and the responses were like

209
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: one thousand, fifteen hundred, you know, sevent like that's about

210
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: the average of what people thought, when in reality, the

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: amount of unarmed blacks killed by police officers or killed

212
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: by white people something like forty people a year or

213
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: so if you just count police, it's about eighteen people year.

214
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: How is it that you have people that believe it's

215
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: twelve hundred or fifteen hundred when in reality it's in

216
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: the teens or the early twenties. It's because, well, the

217
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: media is very very good at making you believe that

218
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: there's a problem that actually doesn't exist.

219
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: Much larger than it really is.

220
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: It's this massive propaganda campaign that that happens. Another great

221
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: example is this is that this is the media fear

222
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: mongering propaganda campaign. Is that during the height of COVID,

223
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: asked American adults by political affiliation, how what's the chances

224
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: you think you're going to be hospitalized if you get

225
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: the Fauci.

226
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: Virus or the Chinese coronavirus? What is the likelihood?

227
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: And registered democrats or registered people are left would say

228
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: that there is a fifty percent chance.

229
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: That I will be hospitalized if I get COVID.

230
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: In reality, it's one to five percent, depending on age.

231
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: How is it that people would believe so firmly a

232
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: fifty percent chance that you'd be hospliced. It's because the

233
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: misinformation artists, the center of the misinformation hub themselves is

234
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: they're designed to keep you fearful and ignorant and not

235
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: understanding what's actually happening in the country. And I'm sure

236
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: there's some people in the left here tonight. I'm glad

237
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: you guys came and but we dialogue and we'll have,

238
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: you know, discussion hopefully and see where we agree and disagree.

239
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: But it's very tempting to want to use power that

240
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: you have to shut up people you don't like because

241
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: you think they're super evil, like, oh, there's never been

242
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: anything like these right wingers right now, we have to

243
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: shut them up. And then, okay, over a period of time,

244
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: let's say you shut every single conservative up. Do you

245
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: think that all of a sudden, the censors are just

246
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: going to stop until they shut up you, until there's

247
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: no disagreement on the left. I'll give you a great example.

248
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: Tulca Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard you might like her, you might

249
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: not like.

250
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: Her, you might agree or disagree.

251
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: Where is their space in the American left right now?

252
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: For Tulsi Gabbard's opinion on foreign policy or woke doesn't exist.

253
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: She's not allowed to even express those opinions anymore. She

254
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: says to herself, she said, there is no space for

255
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: a classical liberal on the American left to be able

256
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: to say that what we're doing in Ukraine is not

257
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: exactly smart. We need to ask more analytical and you know,

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: let's say deeper questions. And I think that it's really

259
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: dumb to tell kids that men can become pregnant, like

260
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: really basic stuff, right, that doesn't exist. And basicly, and

261
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: we learned this from the Russian Revolution and from kind

262
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: of Bolshevikism, is that as soon as you use the

263
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: power of censorship, it knows no limitations whatsoever. So it's tempting, like, yeah,

264
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: we got to shut those guys up. We have to

265
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: be able to say that those people can't speak like okay,

266
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: and eventually it will come for you. And eventually, here's

267
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: the thing. Speech is inherently messy. You get all sorts

268
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: of people that are characters that you might not like

269
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: things that you know, opinions that you might find reprehensible,

270
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: but through a pattern of allowing people to speak even

271
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: with those things, is eventually, over a period of time,

272
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: the American people have to come to some approximation of

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: what is best for them. That is always the track record.

274
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: The worst thing you could possibly do is then use

275
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: the government and then private actors. And that's the other

276
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: thing that I find so funny is that one of

277
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: the accusations that what is this the Students for a

278
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: Democratic Society SDS says about turning point us and as

279
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: they call us fascists, which is just hilarious. They don't

280
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: really know what fascism is. But like, okay, what is

281
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: a fascist? A fascist is someone that tries to use

282
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: government force to collude with private interest for a very

283
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: specific purpose. How is that not the American government going

284
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: to Facebook and asking them the censor political opponents. How

285
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: is that not an act of some sort of technocratic

286
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: fascism of saying we're going to go to Google and

287
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: say that you must say that if you say certain

288
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: perspectives or opinions, you're not allowed to have them. And

289
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: so kind of putting all this together, I find it

290
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: very comical and interesting every time people accuse us of misinformation.

291
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: Not to say we get everything right, not to say

292
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: that every opinion we have as popular, but the most

293
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: prevailing narratives of the day are not rooted in truth,

294
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: unfortunately by the big propagandist. I want to close on

295
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: a couple things, and we'll do some questions. I want

296
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: to make sure we always save plenty of time there

297
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: so that we can have a good conversation there. Look,

298
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: our generation, I'm millennial, not Generation Z, and so I

299
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: guess we could say our generation. I'll say your generation.

300
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: For all intents and purposes. By the way I have this,

301
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: I have to thank generation Z. Finally, there's a generation

302
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: boomers hate more than millennials. So it's I hear it all.

303
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 2: It's really great congratulations. Finally they said those generations.

304
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: Z are the worst.

305
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: It used to be the it used to be all

306
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: millennials the worst ever at all times. But this is

307
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: kind of really moreph to the adults first and then

308
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: to the students, which is I want to kind of

309
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: focus on something I said earlier, which is we say

310
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: that COVID did all these things, and even I'm a

311
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: little sloppy in my language at times because I'm so

312
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: used to saying it the way the regime says it.

313
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: But it really was not COVID that hurt young people.

314
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: It was our reaction to it. And every single metric

315
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: from weight gain to suicide to psychiatric drug medication to

316
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: alcohol all went in the negative direction during these lockdowns,

317
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: and for what it will go down as one of

318
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: the worst mistakes ever made in decent society and in

319
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: our civilization all around kind of this prevailing dogma of

320
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: mass propaganda and of fear. And now you have a

321
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: generation that, now, let's just pretend everything was fine health wise,

322
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: despite the fact that all of these things went up. Anxiety, depression,

323
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: mental health issues, all those things went up. Let's just

324
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: talk economically our response to this. And this is where

325
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: you know, I'm trying to warn conservatives that if we

326
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: don't get actually a coherent message around these sorts of

327
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: topics and these issues, the socialists are going to have

328
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: quite a field day with the next generation, because when

329
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: people don't own anything, they make for perfect socialists. And

330
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: everything is twice as expensive minimum and every major metropolitan

331
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: area over the last two and a half years, and.

332
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: We did that. Both parties did that.

333
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: Conservatives and liberals decided to go print a bunch of money.

334
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: We did not have to inject it into mass stimulus packages.

335
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: Obviously the current administration did it more than the prior one,

336
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: but there is no doubt that it was a bipartisan

337
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: agreement to go continue to inflate the currency and to

338
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: basically create what is record inflation. Where many of you

339
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: in this room probably have a fair amount of economic cynicism,

340
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: where you say, where exactly is this American dream that

341
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: was promised to me? And honestly, you have a point,

342
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: And I'm not one to play victim. I'm not one

343
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: to say you should play a victim. I'm not one

344
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: to say that young people should bash their adults or

345
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: their elders, the adults or elders or their parents. But honestly,

346
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: there needs to be a mass apology to Generation Z

347
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: and to young people for what we did over the

348
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: last two years, which was a drive by shooting of

349
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: a generation, and then we just say, oh, just go

350
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: work harder. Actually, you know, how is a young person

351
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: supposed to go buy a home right now?

352
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: Are supposed to afford a mortgage?

353
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: With everything twice as expensive and by the way, they

354
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: could barely pay for basic goods and services. And then

355
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: obviously many of you are obviously in debt going to college,

356
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: of which I have a whole lot of opinions around

357
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: that that we can get into if you want. And

358
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: the essence is this is that this has been intergenerational

359
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: robbery the likes of which we have never seen. And

360
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: just the message of oh yeah, just go get your

361
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: act together, go work together, that doesn't do that doesn't

362
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: come now for all of you students out there on

363
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: the inverse, I implore you to reject just playing a

364
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: victim and being cynical. It's still a beautiful country, there's

365
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: still huge opportunity. You can still get through it with

366
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: grit and hustle. There's been a lot of obviously bad

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: things that have been dealt to you, and they were

368
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: not They were done by bad decisions and decisions by

369
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: people that are not of your generation. Despite all of that,

370
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: there's still the mense that there's an immense amount of

371
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: wealth and happiness that you can have in your life

372
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: with all of that, through earned success and the proper

373
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: application of your effort. There is not There is still

374
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: not in America a good reason to say I'm just

375
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: gonna give up. I'm not gonna do anything. I'm gonna

376
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: throw it all away. So I kind of put it

377
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: on both sides. But honestly, I say this to adults

378
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: all the time, because you know, a lot of adults

379
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: now that the stock market has gone down dramatically, they're

380
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: feeling a little bit more. But when I say adults,

381
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, people of the age of fifty.

382
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: You know, they'll say all the time, they say, you know,

383
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: this generation Z is so cynical and all they want

384
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: is free stuff, And they're, you know, twenty years old,

385
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: and they want social They want socialism beause they don't

386
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: want to work. I say that's some people, obviously, but honestly,

387
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: the vast majority of young people find socialism attractive because

388
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: they've been lied to their entire life. They want to

389
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: go get a degree they know that is largely worthless,

390
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: to go study stuff that doesn't matter, to go find

391
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: jobs that don't exist. They've done everything they've been told.

392
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Go get the vaccine, go stay at home, go wear

393
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: a mask, don't see your friends. And guess what it

394
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: has done. Complete generational carnage to the ones they love,

395
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: including themselves, and so they look at an adults they're like, oh, really,

396
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: we just have.

397
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 3: To go work harder and apply more.

398
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: How about you guys leave a country that's even a

399
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: little bit free or prosperous for us, because the app

400
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: here's what's gonna happen. If conservatives don't get our act

401
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: together and we don't get more young people doing three

402
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: very basic things buying homes, getting married, and having kids,

403
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a socialist revolution in this country, the

404
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: likes of which you've never seen. And it's gonna be very,

405
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: very hard to stop. Because if a generation is increasingly

406
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: not owning property, not getting married, and not having kids,

407
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: what on earth are you supposed to tell them to

408
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: go work for? What are they trying to conserve? They're

409
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: gonna say, you know what, let's just go take the

410
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: money from adults. And that's gonna be very hard to stop.

411
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: It's a bad idea.

412
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't support it. It's morally questionable at best. I

413
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: don't find it.

414
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 3: To be supportive at all.

415
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: But if for those of you that actually want a

416
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: free enterprise to exist and to you know, survive in

417
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: the future, you have a generation that is being completely

418
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: priced out of housing market. And then you have these

419
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: massive Wall Street firms coming in like Black Rock, and

420
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: what are they doing. They're buying up single family homes

421
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: across America to turn you into life long renters, to

422
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: make it so that you can never actually buy into,

423
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: you know, the housing system, to be able to build

424
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: equity and to build wealth. And boyd, that's not a

425
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: country that is sustainable. One of the things that actually creates,

426
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: I think deradicalized politics is when people own stuff. People

427
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: that own homes tend to not burn down Wendy's good

428
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: rule for life right. People that are married and have

429
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: kids tend to not go march in the streets endlessly

430
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: against the stemic racism. They got other things on their mind.

431
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: But you have the least married generation, we have a

432
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: population collapse that is down twenty to thirty percent, and

433
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: this increased kind of aura of cynicism. And I hate

434
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: to be too big into the materialism because I think

435
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: we have a spiritual crisis in our country as well.

436
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: But when a generation work super hard, and there's a

437
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: lot of you that work hard, you're working them awage jobs,

438
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: you study, and you're getting poorer. That creates a lot

439
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: of nihilism a ton when all of a sudden, you're

440
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: working a job just to stay poor, You're like, why

441
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: don't I just go get government benefits?

442
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: Like it would be easier.

443
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: And it's not an exaggeration. I'm sure in Tallahassee this

444
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: has not been immune from inflation. But in many of

445
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: the metropolitan areas, people that are twenty five to thirty five,

446
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: they're working extra hours, they're putting more time in, and

447
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: it's not even enough to stay out of debt. In fact,

448
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: the recent study shows that thirty percent of gen z

449
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: slash millennials are gonna have to go into debt this

450
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: calendar year just to pay for basic needs, groceries and

451
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: rent and so over a period of time. What's going

452
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: to prevent them from the supporting the Bolshevik Marxist that says,

453
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just go take it from the

454
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 2: most productive because you've been scammed. Now. I don't support

455
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: the conclusion. I think there's some prudent steps we could

456
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: take to actually restore this stuff. But man, we did

457
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: this to ourselves, and if we just think it's gonna autocorrect,

458
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 2: our self correct by doing the same things been doing

459
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: in the last twenty thirty years. I think that's sadly mistaken.

460
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure we could actually agree with some of the

461
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: people in the left in this room. But here's where

462
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: we will will probably disagree with some of the people

463
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: in the left, or maybe we'll agree or not. It

464
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: depends on where you're coming from. That is this is

465
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: that there is still a purposeful life ahead of you.

466
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: Is that there's so much that could still be done

467
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: of getting married and having a wonderful and beautiful life.

468
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: Is just going to take some proper steps from our

469
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: leaders to actually care more about your generation. I could

470
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: say our generation, but I'll say your generation than the

471
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: people of Ukraine, because if you ask me, sending seventy

472
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: billion dollars to Ukraine is an insult to every single

473
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: one of you that is going into debt to go

474
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: pay your rent while our citizens and your generation is

475
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: working harder than ever, can't even put food on the table,

476
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: and is going into a nihilistic, cynical tornado. And we're like, wow,

477
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 2: we need to go send Zelenski another seventy billion dollars.

478
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: And then Zelenski comes out and he demands money from us,

479
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: like Okay, pal, how about you set this one out.

480
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: How about we go put our students first, that are

481
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: working their tail off, that have been lied to to

482
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 2: go get degrees that really don't matter, that are never

483
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: actually going to make them learn anything substant Maybe you

484
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: guys are learning wonderful things all the time, and you

485
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: could tell me that later. But vast majority of students

486
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: that graduates say they wish they wouldn't have gone at

487
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: all if it wasn't for just getting a piece of

488
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: paper in return. And I think it's it's long past

489
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: time for a realignment of priorities in more ways than one.

490
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: And I sure hope our leaders start to listen. Okay,

491
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: let's do some questions, guys, and thank you for sitting

492
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: through that. And so we could do a line. Where

493
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: are we doing the line? We're doing a line right

494
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: over here, okay, cool, And we could turn up the

495
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: house lights slightly. Okay, okay, So just some ground rules

496
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: for the for the questions. Try to keep it to

497
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: a question. I might want to have a dialogue back

498
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: and forth, and that's fine. If you disagree, you guys

499
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: can go to the front of the line. It's I

500
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: think it's generally a conservative audience here tonight. So please

501
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 2: don't heckle, or boo or treat somebody poorly. If they

502
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: say something you find objectionable, let it be known at

503
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA events. If you disagree, you're given a platform.

504
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: We could figure out what to do about that. I

505
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: challenge every single left wing organization and group to do

506
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: the same.

507
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: Okay, let's start here.

508
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: Oh hey, Charlie, thank you for being here in Tallahassee today.

509
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: So I'm the president of the new Turning Point USA

510
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: chapter at Tallahassee Community College. Awesome, And and we've been

511
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: struggling recently to get some recognition by the faculty and

512
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: the leadership of the school obviously kind of an uncooperative

513
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 4: administrative body, you could say. So I was just wondering

514
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: if you had any tips for helping us gain the

515
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 4: trust of those teachers and school leaders who could potentially

516
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 4: help us launch our student group while still keeping to

517
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: our conservative America first values.

518
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

519
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, thank you for your commitment and

520
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: your leadership. You should applauded for that. That's awesome.

521
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: And look, it's going to take grit and hustle.

522
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: You got to find a faculty sponsor not easy, right,

523
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's one, And if you can't find one,

524
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: at least try to find one person that you might

525
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: disagree with that still believes in freedom of speech, that like, hey,

526
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: do you at least believe that something that you might

527
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: not agree with has a right to exist on campus.

528
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 2: But honestly, this is all a very good exercise for you,

529
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: and I just want to encourage you personally. The difficulty,

530
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: the opposition navigating a community that might not agree with

531
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 2: everything that you hold is going to make you a

532
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: tougher and more resilient person throughout your entire life. Just

533
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: having everything easy when you are young creates a lot

534
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: of misery. It does. And I have a whole theory

535
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: about this, which is that young people are the most

536
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: comfortable generation in history, which is why they're the most

537
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 2: depressed generation in history. There's a great book called Comfort Crisis.

538
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: You guys should check it out by Michael Easter, which

539
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: makes this argument that we as a human species, we're

540
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: not designed just be able to sit around all day

541
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: and have three meals and perfectly air conditioned to climate

542
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: controlled situations. Over a period of time, it actually creates

543
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: a lot of anxiety and depression, and so opposition is

544
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: a good thing. I would consider that to be a blessing.

545
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: At the same time, we're happy to give you resources

546
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: and help in any way possible, and I'm positive you'll

547
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: be able to find hopefully a sponsor or two throughout it.

548
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: But look at it as a blessing.

549
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: Look at it as almost a metaphorical muscle building opportunity,

550
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: so that later in life you will have gone through

551
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 2: you know, being called nasty names, not being in the majority,

552
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: and eventually you'll be stronger because of that.

553
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: Okay, God, bless you. Thanks for being here.

554
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 5: Many Hi Charlie, thank you for coming. I'm a part

555
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 5: of the exec board for the Churning Point USA chapter

556
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 5: at FSU, so we really appreciate.

557
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for all your hard work.

558
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: Great job.

559
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for coming. I just have a quick

560
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 5: question for you. What is your advice to young adults

561
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 5: who are in relationships with a significant other who has

562
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 5: opposing political views.

563
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, great question. So obviously everyone is free to make

564
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: their own choices. I think that is a recipe for disaster.

565
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: I do, and I'm not saying break up with that person.

566
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you can't have a nice time. But

567
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: here's a good question. Eventually you might have children. Let's

568
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: pretend you have children with that person. Okay, whose values

569
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: are you going to teach the kid? Right?

570
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 3: Who gets that?

571
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 2: Does not you? I'm just saying, like, I'm just asking

572
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: more hypothetically, what kind of school do you send the kid? Right?

573
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: Do you send it to a public school and government

574
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 2: school or to a Christian school? And who decides?

575
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 6: Then?

576
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: And then over a period of time, you know, when

577
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: you start living for a year, two or three years

578
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: together and all of a sudden the news comes on

579
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: and tensions already high in the house. Are you gonna

580
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: be able to discuss the nightly news politely and wonderful together?

581
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 2: You're going to see it all in the same way?

582
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: What about charitable giving? Are you gonna want to give

583
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: to the same charities? I could go on and on

584
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: on and on, and I've seen it work every once

585
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: in a while. I've seen people the posing views build

586
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: really beautiful lives and do great things. But I've seen

587
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: I've seen it be of disaster more times than not.

588
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean, by the way, if you have to

589
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: find someone that shares your views that it's going to

590
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: be the most wonderful thing ever. But if you want

591
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: to have children, then I believe firmly you have to

592
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: you have to marry somebody or be with someone that

593
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: sees the world the same way you do, or else

594
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: it's not fair to the child or else. They're going

595
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: to be having competing and confusing narratives and dialogues passed

596
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: down to them at all times.

597
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: And so do what you will with that.

598
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: But I just I also have seen a lot of

599
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: people say, oh, I'm going to change them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

600
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: that's not a good idea that that usually doesn't work.

601
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you are in a relationship

602
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: to change somebody, that's really not what a relationship is, right.

603
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

604
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: Typically people that go into a relationship with the intent

605
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: of transforming the other. Yeah, that's that ends, like the

606
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: Hindenberg God, bless you, thank you, appreciate it.

607
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 6: You.

608
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 7: Oh boy.

609
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm a liberal, mister Kirk. I mean, okay, I

610
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 8: voted from in the twenty twenty election, But.

611
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: You're not that liberal.

612
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: Okay, but things change my mind.

613
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 8: But anyways, Okay, I'm young, obviously, and I was wondering

614
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 8: about trickle down economics. I was wondering when is it

615
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 8: going to trickle down for me? Because historically, like I

616
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 8: don't know, I've never personally seen it. Like for example,

617
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 8: Liz trust got well, she resigned over the dumb tax things.

618
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Georgia Bush said it.

619
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 8: Was a voodoo economics. So my question to you is

620
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 8: would trickle down? I mean, or when is it going

621
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 8: to trickle down?

622
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? I'm not a defender necessarily trickle down economics. I mean,

623
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: I think in some ways if you want to talk

624
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: about supply side versus demand, here's the thing I happen

625
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: to be. I used to be a really you know,

626
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: economic libertarian, and then I grew up and you start

627
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: to see that you actually need, you know, some checks

628
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: and balances and externalities in the market. I am a

629
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: big defender of the market though generally, So how should

630
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: we approach economics? I suppose that's a question, right, And

631
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: so here's how I'll answer that, which is that an

632
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: economy should serve people.

633
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: People should not serve the economy.

634
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I think you and I could both agree with that,

635
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: And so I will defend though the idea of giving

636
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: tax cuts to businesses. That's a very good idea because

637
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: businesses are run by people, and businesses employe people. Now,

638
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: should you only give them to big businesses? No, I

639
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: think that's silly. But the vast majority of businesses in

640
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: America are small businesses run by entrepreneurs. And so, for example,

641
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: my entire economic viewpoint is to make you more empowered

642
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: and easier for you to be able to start a

643
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: business and grow a business from something to nothing. So

644
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: you can call it whatever you want. You can call

645
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: it free market economics, entrepreneurship focused economics, whatever it is.

646
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: But I think you and I could find some common

647
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: ground on some things. For example, I think it's wrong

648
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 2: and it's stupid and it's silly that the largest corporations

649
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: in America don't pay anything an income text, whether it

650
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: be Amazon or Exxon Mobile. It's not fair, it's not right,

651
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of these loopholes are designed

652
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: to be able to favor the corporate lobbyist in Washington, DC,

653
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: while everyday people get completely and totally crushed.

654
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: And I'm a conservative saying this. Do you want to

655
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: chime in?

656
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: Really?

657
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 6: Oh?

658
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. I am not a

659
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: big fan of bailouts, like during the COVID pandemic.

660
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: I was against it.

661
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, the airline industry had to be built out by

662
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 8: the American people, and I don't think that's right. If

663
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 8: you have to shut down for a week and your

664
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 8: whole business collapse like.

665
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: It, probably not as sustainable business.

666
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 8: It's not sustainableiness.

667
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: That's your fault.

668
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 8: It's not for you to take the ballf of the

669
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 8: American people and just put it back to your help.

670
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: So let me find let me let me say one

671
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: last thing I think that hopefully we can agree on.

672
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: And this is where I'm probably in the most harmony

673
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: with libertarians, okay, which is what we are doing to

674
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: our currency is immoral and wrong and has been warned

675
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: for multiple decades and generations by people in the kind

676
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 2: of libertarian community. And it makes every single person in

677
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: this room poorer, and it makes the oligarchs, and it

678
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: makes the people that run our society richer. A hyperinflated

679
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: currency benefits people that already have hard assets that are

680
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: able to move money quickly. Working people get crushed by inflation.

681
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: And so let's put this, let's put trickle down economics aside.

682
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: Let's say this, we need to have an monetary policy

683
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: that does not destroy the value of the dollar ten

684
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: percent year over year, so that everyday people can save

685
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: and with expectations, so that they all of a sudden

686
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: have to say, well, I'm going to get ten percent

687
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: poorer this year. You know what ends up happening. People

688
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: end up spending all their money on stupid stuff. Because

689
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: you have just created mass economic cynicism. They say, what's

690
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: the point in saving, what's the point in going into

691
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: the market. It's just going to crash. And so I

692
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: think you and I could both agree that from a

693
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: monetary standpoint, we should encourage saving over spending and restore

694
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: the purchasing power of the American muscular middle class. God

695
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: bless you man, Thank you, I appreciate it.

696
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 9: Hey, Charlie, So I used to be a conservative. I

697
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 9: no longer am now. I'm actually a libertarian now. And

698
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 9: a big reason for that is what I see as

699
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 9: a contradiction within conservatism between supporting freedom, freedom of speech,

700
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 9: to bear arms and support for law enforcement. Because if

701
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 9: the government were to infringe in our freedoms even more

702
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 9: than it already has, such as banning assault rifles, for example,

703
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 9: then the police would be the ones to enforce such

704
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 9: tyrannical edicts, as the Canadian truckers discovered. So is there

705
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 9: a contradiction here for a conservatism why or why not?

706
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: Very smart question. I can see where you're coming from.

707
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: So the way I would answer it is that we

708
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: look at the FBI a lot differently than a local sheriff.

709
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: So local sheriffs have been the ones defying all of

710
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: these kind of gun grabbing regulations and measures because the

711
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: sheriff is probably someone in your local community you trust,

712
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: probably someone that got elected publicly, probably someone whose kids

713
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: goes to local school, and almost always is a strong

714
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: adherent to the constitution. But I think you are yielding

715
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: towards something you and I could have a lot of

716
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: agreement with, which is it's the FBI, the ones that

717
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: take the knee for BLM, the ones that are calling

718
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: for mass gun control. Do I trust them? Absolutely not.

719
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: But do I think that local police is not just

720
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: important but necessary for human flourishing. Absolutely, And so I'm

721
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: a localist with this stuff. I think that the less

722
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: federal control when it comes to a lot of these issues,

723
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: the better. I question so much of the legitimacy of

724
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: what the FBI is doing recently, and it pains me

725
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: to say that as an American patriot, where I look

726
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: at everything they do through a political lens now, from

727
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: raiding mar A Lago to spying on Donald Trump to

728
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 2: the raiding of the homes of pro life leaders. So

729
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 2: your apprehension as a new libertarian is totally right. But

730
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: I would just challenge you to be like, hey, that's

731
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: a lot different than Sheriff Mark Lamb, for example, in Arizona,

732
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: who is elected by the local people and doing everything

733
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 2: he possibly can to go after smugglers and would never

734
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: enforce a gun confiscation measure. And so we need to

735
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: support our local police very very important. They're in our community,

736
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: they're one of us. Where the FBI is, though, I

737
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: look at them as almost kind of infantry for the regime.

738
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 9: Does that make sense, Well, it's that you know, police,

739
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 9: whether federal, state or local, they're tasked with upholding all

740
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 9: the laws of the United States of America, federal, state

741
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 9: and local. So if the federal government were too, for example,

742
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 9: pass a law that banned assault rifles, then one the

743
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 9: local police then be compelled to enforce that law.

744
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: That's a good question. We've already seen though a track

745
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: record and a pattern of local police and sheriffs hundreds

746
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: saying I will not enforce any of these Montana, for example, okay,

747
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 2: came out through every one of their sheriffs and said

748
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: we're not going to enforce an assault rifle ban. We

749
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: will ignore the federal government. So I would just challenge

750
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: you to kind of look at some of that at

751
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 2: how some of these more local law enforcement agencies are

752
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: already vocalizing that they are willing to say we are

753
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: not going to enforce an unconstitutional measure from the federal government.

754
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: But your apprehension is well founded. I don't consider it

755
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: a contradiction. I considered a nuance and an important difference.

756
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: But I think you would also agree you need some

757
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: form of law enforcement. And I would much rather be

758
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: policed by people that live in our communities, that are

759
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: close to us and share our concerns than somebody far

760
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: off in a distant land. And I'll close with this,

761
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: the Left does not want to defund the police. They

762
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: want to destroy local police and replace it with a

763
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: national police force. And so you and I can definitely

764
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: have a g that a national police force is horrifying.

765
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: It's something we do not support. I want thousands of

766
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: local sheriffs that are accountable to the people and far

767
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: less federal involvement kind of parachuting into our communities telling

768
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: us what to do. Thank you for your time.

769
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: God, bless you man, Thank you.

770
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 6: Hi.

771
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 10: I'm Trevor Waller and I just had a question. Why

772
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 10: do you think that leftists and liberals and people on

773
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 10: the left side or why they push anti science ideas

774
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 10: in our school systems, Like they push the ideas where

775
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 10: it's like a man can be a woman, a woman

776
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 10: can be a man, there is no difference between genders,

777
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 10: and why parents accept that? And then one last question,

778
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 10: what do you think we should do with public school systems?

779
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 10: Should we try to change them, should we take kids

780
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 10: out of the public school system homeschooling because I'm a homeschooler,

781
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 10: just just wondering what you thought.

782
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great, So why do parents put up with it?

783
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: That's a mystery to me. I think that's changing though.

784
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 2: I think parents are starting to push back. I think

785
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 2: that is kind of a default setting of being polite

786
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: in a lot of these communities, and parents don't want

787
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: to come across as being impolite, So why do they

788
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: teach things that are contrary to science? Yeah, that's a

789
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: really important and good question. They would disagree with how

790
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: you just categorize it, even though it is, you know,

791
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: science in and of itself. But they also have a

792
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: different view of what science is. I gave a whole

793
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: speech on this in Kansas City that I encourage you

794
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: to check out. Which is science properly understood should be

795
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: about the preservation of human life and the advancement and

796
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: the flourishing of human life. Science, like I would say,

797
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: improperly applied, is about exerting your own will and dominion

798
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: over nature to show supremacy over the design or let's

799
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: just say the state of what nature is. I'll give

800
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 2: you an example, right, So two forms of medical technology

801
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: that could be used by the same person for two

802
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: complete and total differences. Okay, an abortion and a C section.

803
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: One gives life and protects life and one destroys life.

804
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: They're both instruments of science because if you look at

805
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 2: a test tube, you're not going to find morality in

806
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: a test tube. So you have to bring some form

807
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: of morality into science. Right. This is one of the

808
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: great lies I think as secular So they say, oh,

809
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: you can.

810
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 3: Find morality in science. Now, at some point.

811
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: You have to have some sort of a construct and

812
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: a framework. Right, These are tools that you use, right,

813
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: And so with that kind of advancement of technology, Praise God,

814
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: we have ce sections in America. Right, It's the most

815
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: commonly performed surgery in America that has saved millions of

816
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: pregnancies and babies that otherwise we don't know what have happened.

817
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: But then you have abortioned very similar procedure in the

818
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: way a trained technician has to do that, but a

819
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: completely different result. And so the question really needs to

820
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: be what is science? What is the point of science?

821
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: I believe science should be first and foremost and in

822
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: kore into natural world, understanding it. And if we have

823
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: to intervene, if we have to create something new, it

824
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: has to be under the moral framework of allowing human

825
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: beings to flourish and to succeed. Your question about the

826
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: public schools, Look, I'm a local guy. If local areas

827
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: want to have public government schools, so be it. But

828
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: I think we have to abolish the Department of Education

829
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. I think we have to restore parents'

830
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: rights to be able to have school and vouchers.

831
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: And let me just.

832
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: Say, you have a very very good education program here

833
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: in Florida. You're very lucky. Other states would give a

834
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: lot to be able to have the type of educational

835
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: ability you have here in Florida. God bless you man.

836
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 2: I love love homeschoolers. Thank you, fangy, I appreciate it.

837
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 2: And if you guys disagree, you could come to the front.

838
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 2: Just want to make that known, no pressure.

839
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 11: So, Hi, my name is Sarah. My parents got divorced

840
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 11: when I was a toddler. I have no memory of

841
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 11: them together. I'm twenty one years old right now, and

842
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 11: I got married this past day.

843
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: Congratulations, Thank you phenomenal. That's thrilling.

844
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 11: So I've never had a good role model in terms of,

845
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 11: you know, marriage with my parents. So I was wondering,

846
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 11: what would your best advice be for having a long,

847
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 11: happy marriage.

848
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: So married a year and a half. So I don't

849
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: know about long or happy. I know about happy, I

850
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: don't know about long. So I don't know about long. So,

851
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 2: but we're working on on the length. So look, I mean,

852
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: it's not about you. That's the most important thing that

853
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: you'll learn really quick. It's about service. It's about you know,

854
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: commitment to the other and this is the This is

855
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: the thing I always laugh about. You know when people

856
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: say men and women are the same. When you're married

857
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: for like an afternoon, you realize men and women are

858
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 2: very much not the same, right. And so I mean

859
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: a great example is, you know, when a man comes

860
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 2: home from work, there could have been a nuclear explosion

861
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: at work.

862
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,959
Speaker 3: How is work? It was fine, it was good.

863
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 2: Where with the wife just will talk about every single

864
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: detail that it's just the nature, right, It's completely different.

865
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: And then you know, Dennis Prager has a really great

866
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 2: speech on this that drives the left crazy, which is

867
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: that men men's nature is towards variety, okay, And I

868
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: think it's very important for wives to just say to

869
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: their husbands, thank you for being loyal to me.

870
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 3: It's a very important thing.

871
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: A lot of men don't hear that enough, and it

872
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: drives some women like I don't want to have to

873
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: say that. It's like, we just study a little bit

874
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: about men's nature and understand how men are kind of

875
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: programmed towards variety. It's a very important thing. The final

876
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: thing is just carved time for one another. And I mean,

877
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 2: I'm a big believer in the Ten Commandments. I believe

878
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: the Sabbath is one of the great gifts from God

879
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: to be able to preserve the family. I think the Sabbath,

880
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: properly understood is the preservation of the family. And so

881
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: I turn my phone off every Friday night, turn it

882
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 2: back on Sunday morning. I'm unreach unreachable by the world,

883
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: and you can just you just have to focus on

884
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: another person. The last thing I'll say is, this is

885
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: social media and phones will do everything that possibly can

886
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: to get in the way of your marriage.

887
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 3: So do what you can to put those.

888
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: Aside, silence them, and I wish you a very, very

889
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: long and happy marriage and hopefully children sometime soon. And

890
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 2: I fully support young people getting married early. I think

891
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: that's a very important thing.

892
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: Now.

893
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 2: The reason and people say, well, it's a risk, Why

894
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: can't I wait till I'm twenty eight or thirty, You know,

895
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: because what if it's not. Where everything in life is

896
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 2: a risk, Okay, everything has a risk, But there's also

897
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: another risk that you have to acknowledge, which is the

898
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: risk of our thousands of listeners that email me and

899
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: they say, I'm thirty five and I haven't found anybody,

900
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: and it's too late. That's a risk too, And I

901
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: can tell you right now, the risk of having resent,

902
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: of having guilt or have not written the guilt, having despondency,

903
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,479
Speaker 2: or having just kind of regret, that's the better word.

904
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: That's a risk that some people need to know, just

905
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: as much as the risk of you might not be

906
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: able to go to Paris every summer. And so I

907
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: don't think we communicate that all the time to young people.

908
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: So God bless you, thanks for being here.

909
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 7: Good evening, mister Kirk. My question is not for myself,

910
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 7: but it's from my brother. Actually, he's a huge fan

911
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 7: of question. Sure, I've gotten permission to record your response,

912
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 7: So if it's okay with you, I'll read his question

913
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 7: to you and then i'll start recording. And then if

914
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 7: you could say, like, I don't know, hi, Brendan or something,

915
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 7: that'd be pretty cool.

916
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Is his name Brandon or Brendan, Brendan Brandan. Uh, I

917
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: was gonna so close, Brandon, but uh, you can say,

918
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,479
Speaker 2: let's go Brendan. He'd like that too, Let's go Brendan. Okay, good,

919
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: So here's his question. Who would you like to see

920
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 2: in office for president in twenty twenty four? Is it

921
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 2: Trump or DeSantis. Yeah, So who would it be and why?

922
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: And if not either of them, who would you like

923
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: to see in office? I've gotten this. I've received this

924
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: question at every tour stop, and so I do encourage

925
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: people to watch it. But I'll give you the same

926
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: answer I've given everywhere. And Hi, Brendan, how are you good?

927
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 3: Good? Let's go Brendan.

928
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: So, look, I've said this is personally speaking personally, not

929
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: on behalfy, turning point USA or turning point action. I've

930
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 2: said this, if Trump runs again, I'm gonna back him again.

931
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm a loyal guy. I can't stand in politics where

932
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: people say one thing and do another, or they're all

933
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden very wishy washy. With all that being said,

934
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: with that, with that kind of uh pretext, I'm a

935
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: massive Governor DeSantis fan. I think he's amazing. I think

936
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 2: he's done such a great job for the state of Florida.

937
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: Governor DeSantis very well might be a once in a

938
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: generation leader that we're looking for. I have looked far

939
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: and wide for a reason not to like Governor DeSantis,

940
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: and he has been incredible. Now I'll close with this

941
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: on this question. I think Governor DeSantis would make a

942
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: phenomenal president. I know Trump made a great president, and

943
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: so I know that getting him another four years would

944
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: make us energy independent again, would get this entire Ukrainian

945
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: mess figured out, would get our economy roaring again, would

946
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: secure the southern border, would restore confidence of the nation

947
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: in a way that's very profound. We'd get crt out

948
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: of our military, wokeism out of our schools. That's enough

949
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 2: for me to be able to say, hey, you earned

950
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: the rights to another four years, especially after all the

951
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 2: nonsense and the shenanigans that happened in the twenty twenty election.

952
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: Thank you Brandon, Thank you man, Thank you mister thic Heavigomn.

953
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 12: Given the concerns you've expressed about censorship and interference with

954
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 12: free speech, I wonder how you view the laws in

955
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 12: Florida and other states that restrict what professors can teach

956
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 12: about racism in the classroom. I obviously you disagree with

957
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 12: the doctrines you teach, but why, you know, would you

958
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 12: extend to them the same right to free speech that

959
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 12: you advocate for everybody else.

960
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's a matter of curriculum, right, So

961
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 2: I would ask a question, should we teach the flat

962
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 2: earth theory in physics, right, should we teach blood letting

963
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: in biology? Should we teach lobotomies in medical school? Or

964
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: should we teach eugenics and ethics? No, there's some ideas

965
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: that are so reprehensible and provably wrong they shouldn't be

966
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: in anywhere close to an academic environment. Now, professor obviously

967
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 2: has the freedom of speech to say what he or

968
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: she wants individually, but from a curriculum standpoint, from what

969
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 2: you're able to measure or test to say that all

970
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're going to teach that race matter,

971
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: that somehow that people are suffering from a pandemic of whiteness,

972
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: as Coca Cola would say, or just critical theory or

973
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 2: critical race theory. No, that has no place in an

974
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: educational environment, because in an educational environment it's less about

975
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: really the opinion of the teacher or the opinion of

976
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 2: the student. It's the pursuit of the soul and the

977
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 2: entire being of the student towards truth, goodness, and beauty.

978
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 2: And so you must have you must have a teleological

979
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 2: destination for that. Yes, to follow up just one.

980
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 12: Five, So you would say that the idea that there's

981
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 12: systemic racism in this country is as off base as

982
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 12: the idea that the Earth is flat, and as provably

983
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 12: wrong as the idea that the Earth is flat.

984
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I would ask you, how are we

985
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 2: systemically racist?

986
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 12: Well, I mean we can have a long discussion, but

987
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 12: I'm a journalist. I don't think it's a place for

988
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 12: a bit. Possibly, if you attended a class on it,

989
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 12: you might get in a debate with the professor and

990
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 12: see what their data shows and whether it's it's it's

991
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 12: a matter of scholarly dispute. I mean, there's a lot

992
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 12: of books on both sides or whether it says. I'm

993
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 12: not aware of a lot of scholarly, well accepted books

994
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 12: that advocate that the Earth is flat, So I would

995
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 12: say this is a matter of scholarly debates.

996
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 3: There was till Galileo came along.

997
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 12: Okay, well, thank you very much.

998
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 2: Thank you. And yeah, just to close it, yes, I

999
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: think advocating for black only dormitories is a moral equivalent

1000
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: of blood letting, lobotomies, and flat earth theory. I think

1001
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: it's evil, it's wrong, and has no place in American education.

1002
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 6: Hi, thanks for coming out. We really appreciate it. Both

1003
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 6: of my grandparents went into the hospital with covid to

1004
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 6: like a year ago, last May, and they were doing fine,

1005
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 6: like getting better with everything off like whatever. They were

1006
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 6: both getting better. They were both feeling better, expressed to

1007
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 6: my family. They were feeling better until they were put

1008
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 6: on remdi sevir, which was supported by Tony Fauci, and

1009
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 6: then they both died. I also had a friend last

1010
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 6: night who passed away from the vaccine due to heart failure.

1011
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 6: He's nineteen years old. Is there anything that anyone is doing,

1012
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 6: your team or anyone that you know to bring Tony

1013
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 6: Fauci to justice.

1014
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good question.

1015
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: So I mean, I hope and thank you for the

1016
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: journalist that's there. And by the way, I correct myself.

1017
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: Galileo did not positive that the Earth was not flat.

1018
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: He posited the heliocentric theory of the earth, and so

1019
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: I was mistaken by saying that. But let me just

1020
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 2: ask a question for everyone here in the room. How

1021
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: many of you know someone that had a very serious

1022
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: reaction to the vaccine to the to the point of

1023
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: irreversible health damage. Raise your hand. Okay, so about half

1024
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 2: the hands are up. If this is true, and this

1025
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: happens everywhere I go to, every single audience, then the

1026
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: CDC is not just lying. It's the greatest cover up

1027
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 2: in modern American medical history, because they say it's one

1028
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 2: in a million, and every single room I go to,

1029
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: hands go up. So either everyone's lying and they're in

1030
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: on its mass conspiracy theory, or there's something here that

1031
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: people really are ignoring intentionally. So look, Anthony fil Fauci

1032
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: should be in prison for what he has done. He's

1033
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: a liar, he's an unbelievably sinister person, and there's not

1034
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 2: enough being done. And the new Congress, whoever ends up

1035
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 2: controlling it, priority number one, needs to make sure Anthony

1036
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: Fauci gets held to justice. And I'm very sorry to

1037
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 2: hear about the remdesevir encounters. The pushing of remdesevir is

1038
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: nothing more than expensive poison on an entire population that

1039
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: did not need it. Meanwhile, any conversation around ivermectin, hydroxychloroquin

1040
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: vitamin D levels, intravenous therapy, potential ozone intervention, baby aspirin

1041
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: was suppressed from the top levels of our medical authorities.

1042
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 3: And so I'm gonna make it.

1043
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: A top priority to try to hold Anthony Fauci accountable,

1044
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: and I encourage all of you to do the same.

1045
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: Thank you,
