the outfit wow [00:15:21] great to be here thank you I first want [00:15:23] to uh thank gcu's Administration for [00:15:25] helping make this happen they deserve a [00:15:27] round of applause I got to tell you I um [00:15:30] we do a lot of traveling and we speak at [00:15:33] a lot of places and it's uh we've been [00:15:35] treated very well here so thank you and [00:15:37] also thanks to our Turning Point USA [00:15:39] chapter here on campus they've worked [00:15:41] very hard to help make this happen and [00:15:43] so thank you guys and uh very important [00:15:45] and also thank you to all of you for [00:15:47] coming out tonight uh it's awesome I [00:15:49] live here in Arizona not too far away uh [00:15:51] so not not too bad of a commute you know [00:15:53] people always try to pin me down they [00:15:54] say you know Charlie are you an ASU guy [00:15:57] or a U of A guy I always say you know if [00:15:59] I had to choose it'd be more like GCU [00:16:01] than you and I get so much hate when I [00:16:05] say that [00:16:06] and I don't care [00:16:08] and so it's great to be here kind of the [00:16:10] most fun part about this is when we get [00:16:12] to do questions we get to talk and we [00:16:13] get to see where we disagree or we agree [00:16:15] so we'll do that in a little bit [00:16:17] um I thought it would be helpful though [00:16:18] tonight to kind of go through how people [00:16:21] identify philosophically and through a [00:16:24] world view I know a lot of you are [00:16:25] Christians I know this is a Christian [00:16:26] School I know not all of you are [00:16:28] Christians and so we can have a [00:16:29] discussion about that but there's all [00:16:31] these labels and terms that are thrown [00:16:33] out and you can feel free to disagree [00:16:35] with any you know how I'm doing these [00:16:36] descriptions but they're approximately [00:16:38] right it's just basic it's in the [00:16:40] general direction [00:16:41] um and it's kind of four different [00:16:42] categories and you hear these words [00:16:44] thrown around a lot liberal libertarian [00:16:47] conservative leftist totalitarian what [00:16:50] do those words actually mean well I'm [00:16:52] gonna do the best job I possibly can to [00:16:54] fairly talk about that and I'll tell you [00:16:56] when I'm not being I guess I'm always [00:16:57] being fair when I'm being brutally [00:16:59] honest honestly about some of those [00:17:00] descriptions [00:17:01] um and then you can decide you know what [00:17:03] category you fall into because you know [00:17:06] I know a lot of you here tonight [00:17:08] probably pick and choose from a lot of [00:17:10] different political ideologies and [00:17:11] philosophies I prefer the term worldview [00:17:13] honestly I think that's a better way to [00:17:16] look at it I would encourage all of you [00:17:17] always to have a Christian and biblical [00:17:19] worldview when you look through all [00:17:20] things we can talk about what that [00:17:22] actually means and how that impacts [00:17:23] politics here is kind of a movement to [00:17:25] try to get Christians not involved in [00:17:26] these things at all I think that's a [00:17:28] huge mistake I think we as Christians [00:17:30] should be more involved than ever in the [00:17:31] Public Square and more involved than [00:17:33] ever in the issues of what is right and [00:17:34] wrong and good and evil [00:17:36] um and kind of how we Orient our entire [00:17:38] Society because absent objective moral [00:17:40] standard than who's to say a line is [00:17:43] crooked if you don't have a straight [00:17:45] line to compare it to as C.S Lewis would [00:17:47] say so let's go through the four [00:17:48] different categories because they're [00:17:49] kind of interchangeably talked about all [00:17:51] the time the first of which is a leftist [00:17:53] you can I would say that leftist today [00:17:56] it's kind of always a changing moving [00:17:58] Target [00:17:59] um very much a totalitarian or someone [00:18:02] that would want to impose things on a [00:18:05] certain a kind of group of people I'll [00:18:06] give you some examples of that the [00:18:07] second is a liberal there are difference [00:18:09] differences between liberals and [00:18:11] leftists and I'll tell you kind of how I [00:18:13] view that and then Libertarians I'm sure [00:18:15] we have some Libertarians here tonight [00:18:17] couple [00:18:18] three okay good you know it's very [00:18:21] interesting I um when we first started [00:18:24] Turning Point USA and I used to ask hey [00:18:26] how many Libertarians are out there [00:18:27] people would always like applaud and you [00:18:29] know kind of show their pocket [00:18:30] Constitution not as many Libertarians [00:18:33] know [00:18:33] um I have a theory as to why and then of [00:18:35] course the fourth category of [00:18:37] conservatives so let's go through the [00:18:38] four as I see it okay so left this as [00:18:40] today and by the way if I were to give [00:18:41] this speech 10 years ago I would [00:18:43] describe a leftist a little bit [00:18:45] differently than I would today [00:18:47] um but leftists more than anything else [00:18:49] I would say they have a very specific [00:18:51] view of the country view of the world [00:18:53] they're Unapologetic about wanting to [00:18:55] use political power to effectuate that [00:18:57] in modern America hyper focused on Race [00:19:00] hyper focused on trying to redesign [00:19:03] Society and also rather indifferent [00:19:07] towards not in different hostile towards [00:19:10] American history the American founding [00:19:11] Western Civilization very outspoken [00:19:15] about what they would see as systemic [00:19:17] injustices now if I had leftist in front [00:19:19] of me I don't think they could disagree [00:19:21] with what I just said right that is [00:19:22] basically their song sheet saying [00:19:24] America's sexist it's racist xenophobic [00:19:26] it's homophobic we were actually founded [00:19:28] in 1619 not 1776 you know if you're [00:19:31] white you have white privilege that we [00:19:33] need to kind of invert society and try [00:19:36] to have reparations and massive amounts [00:19:38] of governmental power to try to right [00:19:39] the wrongs of things that happened a [00:19:42] long time ago and that's probably a fair [00:19:43] way to say it now how that actually [00:19:45] plays itself out very interesting [00:19:47] um so I would say that kind of let me [00:19:49] just be very clear trying to use that [00:19:51] kind of force and that kind of power in [00:19:53] that upside down way I think is Sinister [00:19:55] and evil and wrong that's my kind of [00:19:57] commentary but you guys can feel free to [00:19:58] disagree the second of which are [00:19:59] liberals now Liberals are different than [00:20:01] leftists they have a lot in common by [00:20:03] the way the Liberals will see things [00:20:05] similarly but they'll stop short of how [00:20:07] willing they're actually how willing [00:20:09] they are to actually use government [00:20:10] power great example is like one of the [00:20:12] last liberals in America Alan dershowitz [00:20:14] right Alan dershowitz he's pro-abortion [00:20:16] he's generally very relaxed and and [00:20:19] immigration but he still has an honest [00:20:21] you know kind of I would say moral fiber [00:20:23] where he'll go and defend people for [00:20:24] their right to speech to speak now [00:20:26] that's a very important distinction [00:20:27] between leftists and liberals is the [00:20:30] issue of speech [00:20:31] if you think speech can be hostile [00:20:34] because you say something offensive [00:20:35] you're a leftist if you think speech is [00:20:38] necessary towards a free society and you [00:20:39] say get over it because you hear [00:20:41] something offensive you're not a leftist [00:20:42] you might be one of the other three [00:20:43] categories the other three categories [00:20:46] have at least a higher than not value on [00:20:49] believing that we as human beings are [00:20:51] the speaking beings and from a Christian [00:20:53] biblical worldview or made in the image [00:20:55] of God [00:20:56] God's spoken to existence in the [00:20:58] beginning was the word the Word was God [00:20:59] and the word became flesh that word [00:21:01] logos rational speech what makes us [00:21:03] different than the beasts of the wild [00:21:04] we're able to reason we're able to tell [00:21:07] the just from the unjust not just pain [00:21:09] from pleasure speech is Who We Are [00:21:11] it's not just some indifferent thing it [00:21:13] would differentiates us from dogs or [00:21:15] animals or the beasts of the wild okay [00:21:16] so a leftist though believes and you see [00:21:18] this playing out all in society [00:21:20] that if you say something wrong that if [00:21:23] you say something offensive you could [00:21:25] actually be making the world more [00:21:26] hostile and dangerous they would call [00:21:29] this hate speech you see that kind of [00:21:30] spreading all across America today a [00:21:33] liberal wouldn't go that far a true [00:21:34] honest liberal would say boy I believe [00:21:36] there's systemic injustices I believe [00:21:39] there's issues here but I'll still kind [00:21:40] of rely on freedom of speech and [00:21:42] classical liberal values to solve some [00:21:44] of the issues there's very few liberals [00:21:46] left in America if there's any here [00:21:48] tonight I would love to meet you and [00:21:49] talk to you there's very few liberals [00:21:51] there's a lot of leftists and they [00:21:53] control almost everything okay the third [00:21:55] category and even more dying breed in [00:21:58] some ways that's a good thing in other [00:21:59] ways it's not a good thing because it [00:22:00] actually used to be a really good [00:22:01] holding pattern for young people before [00:22:03] they grew up and became conservatives [00:22:04] which are Libertarians [00:22:06] um which is a Libertarian is someone who [00:22:08] believes more than anything else the [00:22:11] most hostile thing you could possibly do [00:22:13] is use government power and use the [00:22:15] government for any purpose whatsoever [00:22:17] now if I had to use a word to describe [00:22:19] libertarianism it would would be [00:22:21] indifferent now that might be a little [00:22:23] harsh for some of you that are [00:22:24] Libertarians watching online but it's [00:22:26] the principle of not using government is [00:22:29] more important than what might actually [00:22:31] be happening out in society so for [00:22:33] example who's to say that we should use [00:22:36] government to clean up people using [00:22:38] drugs on the side of the street we just [00:22:40] can't make government any bigger because [00:22:41] you know it doesn't matter what the [00:22:43] result is our principle disallows us [00:22:46] from interfering with that particular [00:22:48] action now I have a lot in common with [00:22:50] Libertarians on certain issues speech [00:22:52] Libertarians tend to be like a hundred [00:22:54] percent pro-free speech absolutists [00:22:56] Libertarians are also very good on the [00:22:58] Second Amendment who could not agree [00:22:59] more by the way the second amendment [00:23:01] protects all the other amendments we can [00:23:03] go into that later if you guys choose [00:23:04] where I disagree with Libertarians a lot [00:23:06] on is when there is a moral crisis [00:23:08] happening in front of us if the excuse [00:23:10] is well we can't do anything because it [00:23:12] might violate my principles I say wait a [00:23:14] second if children are being [00:23:17] medically mutilated for profit if you [00:23:20] have a homelessness crisis and our [00:23:22] country's being invaded I really don't [00:23:24] need a lecture about government [00:23:25] indifference let's solve the problem [00:23:27] prudently and appropriately because the [00:23:31] good is greater than your Principle as a [00:23:33] bumper sticker they might wear it's like [00:23:35] well no matter what we can't use the [00:23:36] government because the government's the [00:23:37] worst thing ever now I'm not a fan of [00:23:39] expanding government we're the people [00:23:40] that came up with big government sucks [00:23:41] obviously but we don't like the [00:23:43] government not just because it's [00:23:45] fashionable not to like the government [00:23:46] we don't like the government because we [00:23:48] don't like [00:23:49] power being concentrated too much for [00:23:51] two for two reasons you know two awful [00:23:53] reasons but we're not going to turn a [00:23:54] blind eye to sort of injustices and that [00:23:56] leads us to conservatives what is a [00:23:58] conservative here that term used all the [00:23:59] time well a conservative is someone who [00:24:01] recognizes the good the true and the [00:24:03] Beautiful does not like using government [00:24:05] that resists it it's in the mold of the [00:24:07] founding fathers and the framers a [00:24:09] conservative is someone who agrees with [00:24:10] James Madison and Federalist 51 that men [00:24:12] are not Angels we're not perfect we [00:24:16] prefer limited government we want to [00:24:18] yield to people's virtue however [00:24:19] conservatives are willing if necessary [00:24:23] to step up and do what is right when you [00:24:25] start to see a moral or societal crisis [00:24:27] unfolding around you so let me use one [00:24:29] example right right now there's this [00:24:31] massive controversy you got that you [00:24:33] know smug comedian Jon Stewart you know [00:24:35] kind of gallivanting around this whole [00:24:36] issue of should it should we as Society [00:24:39] accept make it acceptable that Phoenix [00:24:42] Children's Hospital you know wants to go [00:24:45] do what they call transgender [00:24:47] reassignment surgeries for profit right [00:24:49] is that something we as Society should [00:24:51] say you know what yeah that's fine or [00:24:52] should we say hold on time out [00:24:54] maybe there's not just unforeseen [00:24:56] irreversible damage but why is it that a [00:24:59] major organization is going to make [00:25:01] Santa make millions if not billions of [00:25:02] dollars [00:25:03] preying on children when they're 12 and [00:25:05] 13 when they really don't really [00:25:06] understand their place in the world like [00:25:07] maybe we should pause and say kind of [00:25:10] Waging War on God's design when [00:25:11] someone's 12 or 13 is not super smart so [00:25:13] let's go through each category okay how [00:25:15] does a leftist view that well not only [00:25:17] does a leftist view that the kind of [00:25:20] medical mutilation surgery happening at [00:25:22] Phoenix Children's Hospital is okay they [00:25:24] say if you disagree with it we want you [00:25:27] kicked off social media we want to be [00:25:29] able to kick you off your Banking and [00:25:30] you're a bad person not only do they [00:25:33] think it's okay but if you dare have a [00:25:35] disagreement and that specific policy [00:25:37] we're going to make your life harder [00:25:40] okay you might have that view a liberal [00:25:42] would say okay you know we're okay with [00:25:44] 11 year olds having irreversible you [00:25:46] know breast removal surgery or taking [00:25:49] Lupron or what this incredibly graphic [00:25:51] stuff happening but we don't necessarily [00:25:52] want to shut up people that might [00:25:54] believe in this a Libertarian would say [00:25:56] well let the market decide [00:25:59] come on like let's just have if people [00:26:02] want when they're 11 years old they'll [00:26:03] chop off their parts let's have a clinic [00:26:05] on every corner and Market forces will [00:26:07] decide that that's what a Libertarian [00:26:09] would say we as conservatives would say [00:26:11] this is evil and wrong and we're not [00:26:14] going to put up with the medical [00:26:15] mutilation of our children for profit [00:26:17] period we're not going to put up with it [00:26:23] now [00:26:25] some people find that to be disagreeable [00:26:28] if you so if you're not willing to use [00:26:31] prudent incremental laws to protect [00:26:34] children then what what are you willing [00:26:37] to do [00:26:38] and that that one specific example gets [00:26:41] so misrepresented and people say well [00:26:42] you know Charlie when they're 12 and 13 [00:26:44] you know they might be more likely to [00:26:47] you know commit suicide and all this we [00:26:49] can go in that direction if you want [00:26:50] statistics show that there is a spike in [00:26:53] self-esteem and in someone's own [00:26:56] self-value and worth after a couple [00:26:57] years and then it plummets after five to [00:26:58] ten years of which there's a mass [00:27:00] community of regret and all that but we [00:27:02] can that's not even the main point the [00:27:03] main point is much more important which [00:27:05] is what do we as a society put up with [00:27:07] currently and that's where a [00:27:09] conservative can say well look we don't [00:27:11] love the fact that there might be have [00:27:13] to be a new law but if there are laws at [00:27:15] all the law that I would pass for any [00:27:17] others is the ones that protect those [00:27:19] can't that can't protect themselves okay [00:27:21] the second issue the border right our [00:27:24] border is completely and totally wide [00:27:25] open we live here in a border state a [00:27:27] leftist would say borders by definition [00:27:29] are racist the idea of a border is wrong [00:27:33] you hear it all the time on television [00:27:34] right who has borders by the way they [00:27:36] live in gated mansions and gated [00:27:37] communities of course obviously but they [00:27:40] won't just say that we should have open [00:27:41] borders they would say the idea of a [00:27:43] border is wrong how dare borders ever [00:27:47] exist they are nothing more than [00:27:49] outgrowths of a white supremacist [00:27:51] colonialist experiment and we should [00:27:54] just get rid of borders altogether [00:27:55] anyone could go anywhere they wanted any [00:27:57] time for any reason okay now a liberal [00:28:00] would say [00:28:01] hey like you know maybe we can have some [00:28:04] border protections but generally we [00:28:06] should allow people to come and go as [00:28:07] they please because we just we don't [00:28:10] want to offend people [00:28:12] that's what that's what a liberal would [00:28:13] go a liberal is much more likely to be [00:28:15] weak when there's a crisis [00:28:17] it's very important different than a [00:28:19] leftist a leftists they're not weak they [00:28:21] are going Full Speed Ahead they know [00:28:22] what they want and they're going to get [00:28:23] it quickly now a Libertarian a true [00:28:25] libertarian now there is some [00:28:27] disagreement in the libertarian [00:28:28] Community to be very honest about the [00:28:30] issue of immigration but a legit [00:28:32] Doctrine libertarian would say free flow [00:28:34] of people [00:28:35] citizenship is nothing more than a card [00:28:38] that you carry it really doesn't matter [00:28:40] let's just let people come and go as [00:28:42] they please now a conservative would say [00:28:44] whoa hold on a second [00:28:46] a country is a social contract it's a [00:28:49] people it's a language it's a tradition [00:28:50] it's a culture of course we can invite [00:28:53] people into our nation when we see it [00:28:55] appropriate to benefit the mission [00:28:57] statement or our own country but that's [00:29:00] a key word invite if you are not invited [00:29:03] then you are invading and we're not [00:29:04] going to put up with it in fact that's [00:29:06] why we need we would need increased [00:29:07] border security and not allow 5 million [00:29:10] people to walk into your country every [00:29:11] single year that's how a conservative [00:29:13] would respond now mind you that is a [00:29:15] popular position with the vast majority [00:29:17] of American people but if you dare say [00:29:19] that they say well you know you're [00:29:20] totally racist and all that which goes [00:29:21] right back to the central theme of you [00:29:23] can't have policy disagreements anymore [00:29:25] without them calling you the worst [00:29:26] things you could possibly hear which of [00:29:27] course I honestly don't care of and [00:29:28] called Everything I honest I would give [00:29:30] you great advice for your life say what [00:29:32] is true and don't care what people call [00:29:33] you you'll be very free and very happy [00:29:35] if you walk around always worrying about [00:29:36] being called a racist or whatever [00:29:38] nonsensical thing they say you're not [00:29:40] going to be a happy person you're always [00:29:41] going to be walking around being [00:29:43] somebody different in private than you [00:29:45] are in public the happiest people are [00:29:47] people that get to be the same person in [00:29:49] public that they are in private those [00:29:51] are the happiest people okay the last [00:29:52] one actually two more I'll use this kind [00:29:54] of a contrast then I'll talk a little [00:29:55] bit about Christianity then we'll do [00:29:57] some questions okay critical race Theory [00:29:58] what is critical race Theory well [00:30:00] critical race theories and outgrowth of [00:30:01] critical theory critical legal Theory [00:30:03] 1960s 1970s Herbert Marcus passed on to [00:30:06] Michelle Foucault and Jacques derida [00:30:07] it's a way of viewing the world [00:30:09] basically many of you know what economic [00:30:11] Marxism is okay economic Marxism is [00:30:14] oppressed versus oppressor type uh class [00:30:17] struggle bourgeoisie versus the [00:30:19] proletariat business owners versus labor [00:30:21] working class that kind of struggle well [00:30:23] in the 1960s Herbert marcusa from the [00:30:25] Frankfurt School in Germany came to [00:30:27] America and he looked around and he said [00:30:29] boy [00:30:30] our Marxist movement is not doing too [00:30:32] well [00:30:33] it's not doing great because the [00:30:34] American middle class is actually [00:30:36] successfully integrating into a private [00:30:38] property-based market system and Marxism [00:30:40] is kind of fizzling out so then he [00:30:42] conjectured what if we come up with a [00:30:44] new type of Marxism not economic Marxism [00:30:47] but race Marxism [00:30:49] and that's actually the name of James [00:30:51] Lindsay's book that I encourage you guys [00:30:52] to check out Dr James Lindsay wrote a [00:30:54] whole book called race Marxism which is [00:30:55] taking that same sort of struggle and he [00:30:57] said the real struggle is not rich [00:30:59] versus poor it's unto bourgeoisie versus [00:31:00] the proletariat it's white versus people [00:31:03] of color [00:31:04] now this used to be a fringe Theory [00:31:06] introduction to critical race Theory [00:31:07] written by Derek Bell in the early 1990s [00:31:09] no one ever took it seriously because we [00:31:11] were all raised in a country and [00:31:13] actually many of you in the audience to [00:31:14] a lesser extent because you probably [00:31:15] don't even remember this country as much [00:31:17] as you know those those of us that are [00:31:19] 28 and older remember which is we used [00:31:20] to strive to be a colorblind Society [00:31:22] yeah we've thrown all that out the [00:31:24] vision and the dream of Martin Luther [00:31:25] King gone now it is about systemic [00:31:28] oppression white privilege and doing [00:31:30] whatever is necessary to try to fix [00:31:31] those problems including ebermax Kennedy [00:31:34] who says that we need discrimination [00:31:36] today to fix the Discrimination of [00:31:37] yesterday and I'll prove exactly what he [00:31:40] means by them so with critical race [00:31:41] Theory it's not just bad ideology it's [00:31:43] not just here's the best way I can [00:31:45] describe CRT to you with all that [00:31:47] philosophical stuff aside it's calling [00:31:49] everything [00:31:50] you don't like racist until you control [00:31:54] it that's what CRT is just keep calling [00:31:57] it racist until you control it the [00:31:58] banking system is racist the colleges [00:32:01] are racist until all of a sudden you're [00:32:02] in control of it and it really is a [00:32:03] major power grab okay so if you ask the [00:32:06] leftist about race in America they would [00:32:08] say the the worst thing the worst thing [00:32:10] you could possibly is a straight white [00:32:11] man right they'd say that it's the [00:32:13] problem with the entire Society the [00:32:15] structure the bones of society comes [00:32:17] down to the issues of straight white men [00:32:18] a liberal would say look there's [00:32:20] systemic racism but maybe we make some [00:32:22] moderate improvements around the edges [00:32:25] and we don't do anything too dramatic [00:32:27] but they would admit with the premise [00:32:29] that America systemically racist a [00:32:31] Libertarian they're all over the place [00:32:32] you know what they would say privatize [00:32:34] it like we that's not even a question [00:32:36] they would say just privatize like okay [00:32:37] we're not even asking you okay anyway [00:32:39] that's what a Libertarian would say okay [00:32:40] if you get the government out of it okay [00:32:43] I agree where [00:32:45] a conservative would say hold on a [00:32:47] second [00:32:49] discrimination is wrong I couldn't care [00:32:51] less about the color of your skin means [00:32:53] nothing to me I care about your [00:32:55] character I care about your actions I [00:32:57] care about your values and I want to [00:32:59] live in a country where people are not [00:33:01] talking about race in fact I'm very very [00:33:04] worried we're heading into a country [00:33:06] where we are retribalizing ourselves and [00:33:09] we should not put up with this kind of [00:33:10] discrimination for example there's black [00:33:12] only dormitories on hundreds if not [00:33:15] hundreds about 120 schools across the [00:33:17] country black only graduation ceremonies [00:33:19] hiring quotas that are saying that we [00:33:21] are going to give racial preference in [00:33:23] hiring to certain minority ethnic groups [00:33:26] so basically to ebermax Kennedy's you [00:33:28] know dream of we need discrimination [00:33:30] today to fix the Discrimination of [00:33:32] yesterday so finally kind of viewing [00:33:34] America which is honestly the most [00:33:36] important thing not a huge not a huge [00:33:37] news flash flash very very pro-american [00:33:40] at Turning Point USA we believe it's the [00:33:41] greatest nation ever to exist in the [00:33:43] history of the world and what a what a [00:33:45] blessing from the Lord [00:33:48] and [00:33:51] so a leftist would say look America is [00:33:53] evil it was evil at its founding it's [00:33:55] been evil at every single Corner in turn [00:33:57] now if I had to over generalize a [00:33:59] leftist or a totalitarian or a statist [00:34:01] or a progressive however you want to say [00:34:03] it they're very ungrateful people [00:34:06] they are and that's not an insult it's a [00:34:08] fact [00:34:09] I never hear let's just say long [00:34:12] speeches of gratitude from the American [00:34:14] left [00:34:16] I never hear about we live in the [00:34:18] wealthiest most prosperous Nation ever [00:34:20] to exist in the history of the world [00:34:21] that is the Envy of all people and [00:34:23] praise God I was born here [00:34:25] and not in Vietnam [00:34:27] rarely do I hear that rarely from people [00:34:30] like congresswoman Elon Omar who's [00:34:32] actually the beneficiary of American [00:34:34] generosity I have to hear from her that [00:34:36] we're systemically racist even though [00:34:38] she was accepted [00:34:39] from a Kenyan refugee camp from Somalia [00:34:42] into America and became a congresswoman [00:34:44] in our system that's probably a pretty [00:34:46] good system but I have to hear about how [00:34:48] America systemically racist repeatedly [00:34:49] it is rooted in ingratitude [00:34:51] conservatives generally have gratitude [00:34:54] for this unbelievable country we get to [00:34:56] live in do we have problems of course we [00:34:57] do I could give a whole speech on the [00:34:58] problems but boy do the benefits [00:35:00] outweigh the negatives in this nation [00:35:01] and I'd love to hear more about that in [00:35:03] the kind of political talk in our [00:35:05] country anyway liberals would say look [00:35:06] that yeah America is special but what [00:35:10] made America special this is a liberal [00:35:12] argument is not our founding it's not [00:35:14] Jefferson Madison J Hamilton Washington [00:35:16] what made America special is our massive [00:35:19] movements of progress the more we turned [00:35:23] our back on the founders that would be [00:35:25] the modern liberal argument the modern [00:35:27] liberal argument would say hey the [00:35:28] founders got it wrong but our ability to [00:35:31] correct the founders is actually what [00:35:32] makes us great this is rubbish started [00:35:34] with Woodrow Wilson in the 19 you know [00:35:37] 1913 1914 1915. we could talk about [00:35:40] slavery and all this stuff you guys in [00:35:41] the question and answer but be very [00:35:42] clear let's be very clear the founding [00:35:43] fathers got the most important thing [00:35:45] right which is they understood that [00:35:48] human beings are the speaking beings [00:35:50] they understood that power should not be [00:35:51] concentrated they understood separation [00:35:53] of powers consent to the governed they [00:35:55] understood the structure that is [00:35:57] necessary to create a government for [00:35:58] people to flourish and they had the [00:36:00] courage and they were animated to act on [00:36:02] that and we are all beneficiaries of [00:36:04] that period and people love to you know [00:36:06] go after the founding fathers mostly on [00:36:07] Lies by the way they say oh they were a [00:36:09] majority slave owners not true in fact 9 [00:36:12] out of 13 of the states by the time the [00:36:13] Constitution is ratified had already [00:36:15] eliminated slavery the first [00:36:17] anti-slavery convention was held in 1775 [00:36:19] before the signing of the Declaration of [00:36:21] Independence chaired by Benjamin [00:36:22] Franklin there's all sorts of different [00:36:23] lies that kind of get to the Zeitgeist [00:36:25] we could talk one by one by one Thomas [00:36:27] Jefferson wrote in the first draft of [00:36:29] the Declaration of Independence a letter [00:36:30] to King George admonishing King George [00:36:32] for bringing the sin of the slave trade [00:36:34] to America Thomas Jefferson fought for [00:36:36] abolitionist slaves in his home state of [00:36:38] Virginia despite himself owning slaves [00:36:40] contradiction of course Paradox yes [00:36:42] we're all by the way walking [00:36:44] contradictions called being a sinner he [00:36:46] was trying to eliminate slavery in his [00:36:47] lifetime as George Washington said it's [00:36:49] not a matter of if it's a matter of when [00:36:51] we get rid of the slave trade it was [00:36:53] America and Britain the first two [00:36:55] civilizations ever to get rid of slavery [00:36:58] period no other civilization even tried [00:37:01] to do it thought to do it aspired to do [00:37:03] it a news flash for The Virtue signal [00:37:04] leftists out there there are more slaves [00:37:07] on the planet today than there were back [00:37:10] at the time of the American founding [00:37:11] there's more Slater on the southern [00:37:12] Border in the Horn of Africa in the [00:37:14] Middle East and in China more human [00:37:16] beings are owned by human beings today [00:37:18] than any other time in human history [00:37:20] on the planet today okay anyway so [00:37:22] liberals would say there's you know like [00:37:23] there's it's how we turned our back on [00:37:25] the founders that would make America [00:37:26] exceptional a libertarian [00:37:29] again it's all over the place I just I'm [00:37:30] doing my best I'm trying to be fair but [00:37:32] they basically say look what was great [00:37:34] about America is how we had limited [00:37:36] government and anything we've done [00:37:37] besides limited government has been [00:37:38] awful and let's go back to 1787. that [00:37:41] would be and in some way they were [00:37:43] they're right about this [00:37:45] um but I think they get they get a lot [00:37:47] wrong there okay but conservatives would [00:37:49] say well hold on a second [00:37:50] say America [00:37:52] is not an idea of course we have ideas [00:37:54] in America but we are a people we're a [00:37:57] tradition we're a custom we're an [00:37:58] attitude we are we are the great Beacon [00:38:02] for liberty for freedom for opportunity [00:38:04] for a dream for people of any color or [00:38:06] background that have ever come here and [00:38:08] yes America because of its structure [00:38:10] because its ideas because it's heroism [00:38:12] because it's commitment because of its [00:38:14] actions because of your parents and [00:38:15] grandparents [00:38:17] we're the greatest nation ever to exist [00:38:18] in the history of the world and [00:38:21] that's I couldn't imagine wow that was [00:38:23] great timing by the way I have to say [00:38:26] greatest nation ever to exist in the [00:38:27] history of the world I plan that by the [00:38:29] way [00:38:29] um [00:38:31] and here's where it comes down to it [00:38:33] Here's the final thing when it comes to [00:38:35] it we as conservatives are not going to [00:38:38] put up with or tolerate the intentional [00:38:41] destruction of that nation that we are [00:38:43] beneficiaries of we're not going to put [00:38:45] up with that [00:38:49] okay [00:38:51] so let me close kind of on the on the [00:38:53] Christian note and then we'll do some [00:38:54] questions for a little bit okay so when [00:38:56] you ask the question of what kind of [00:38:58] government do we want to form you have [00:38:59] to ask some very very simple questions [00:39:01] again I'm going to make some [00:39:02] generalizations and some approximations [00:39:04] based on those other four categories but [00:39:06] I'm just going to condense it down to [00:39:07] the status totalitarians Progressive or [00:39:09] leftists and conservatives so one of the [00:39:12] most important questions is what is a [00:39:13] human being now we as Christians if [00:39:16] you're a Christian great if you're not a [00:39:17] Christian that's fine and I'm not trying [00:39:19] to generalize but it's a Christian [00:39:20] School so hear me out here we have a [00:39:23] very simple biblical answer for this a [00:39:25] human being [00:39:26] is made in the image of God with a soul [00:39:30] with a date with eternity and you got [00:39:32] two options therefore that being has [00:39:35] rights not given to you by government [00:39:37] but by a creator [00:39:39] and government cannot take those rights [00:39:41] away government didn't give you those [00:39:42] rights government is there to protect [00:39:44] those rights now I will go a step [00:39:46] further to say that we as Christians [00:39:49] should be very clear that we were [00:39:50] created [00:39:52] designed for a purpose now why is that [00:39:54] important well I believe if a CR you [00:39:56] know if you even entertain the idea that [00:39:59] we're an accident of 500 million years [00:40:01] of evolution [00:40:03] well then you're just looking like well [00:40:04] it's just a random combination that [00:40:06] allowed us to get here now some people [00:40:07] have the Christian endorsed view of [00:40:08] evolution that's fine I'm not here to [00:40:10] talk about that stuff there's some [00:40:11] phenomenal scholarship written on it I [00:40:13] do encourage you guys to read a book [00:40:14] called Darwin's doubt that talks about [00:40:16] the mathematical improbability of [00:40:18] Charles Darwin and how he basically [00:40:19] should be taken seriously at all but [00:40:21] that that's not the the thrust of my [00:40:23] speech tonight I'm not no and so you [00:40:24] should check it out Dr Steven Meyer [00:40:26] wrote an entire book debark debunking uh [00:40:28] Charles Darwin some of the great [00:40:29] mathematicians of our time have shown [00:40:31] the mathematical improbability it's much [00:40:33] more probable to believe in an [00:40:35] intelligent designer than to believe in [00:40:37] the role of the dice that could give us [00:40:38] Consciousness and sight smell the [00:40:40] ability to reason all of that but the [00:40:42] point is this what is a human being if [00:40:43] you believe a human being is specially [00:40:45] designed for a purpose then you treat [00:40:46] that human being differently then all of [00:40:48] a sudden power is not the most important [00:40:50] thing human dignity and rights are far [00:40:52] more important than that and then [00:40:53] finally it's another important question [00:40:55] which a leftist or a progressive or a [00:40:57] secularist they can't answer this and [00:40:59] they can but when they do of course they [00:41:01] mess it up which is do you believe human [00:41:02] beings are natural really good [00:41:04] and a Christian should be able to answer [00:41:05] it immediately of course not didn't take [00:41:07] long for us to mess that up now if you [00:41:09] believe human beings are naturally good [00:41:11] then you have to explain all the evil in [00:41:13] the world and they explain it away not [00:41:15] by human beings but by saying it's the [00:41:18] system that creates evil and that's a [00:41:20] very profound difference you see we as [00:41:23] Christians believe that we're the [00:41:25] problem [00:41:25] and that we have to improve our behavior [00:41:27] and our actions and hopefully come more [00:41:29] in alignment to glorify God and only [00:41:31] Jesus Christ can get us eventually to [00:41:33] God and we don't we didn't earn that we [00:41:36] didn't do anything to deserve that it's [00:41:38] a gift that has been given to us but a [00:41:40] secularist would say Oh no you're [00:41:42] perfect at Birth as Jean-Jacques [00:41:44] Rousseau would say you know all men are [00:41:46] born free but they spend the rest of [00:41:48] their lives in change it's a romantic [00:41:49] view of human nature but they say oh no [00:41:51] human beings are bored perfect but it's [00:41:53] capitalism [00:41:55] it is the patriarchy it is all these [00:41:57] things that create bad behavior and if [00:42:00] we Crush those things then we can live [00:42:02] on some form of utopian Heaven on Earth [00:42:05] the consequences of that are incredibly [00:42:06] dangerous do you believe people are [00:42:08] naturally good or people are naturally [00:42:10] not so good or you could say even evil [00:42:11] and then so the question is how do the [00:42:13] founding fathers view this and that's [00:42:15] that's the system we all get to live in [00:42:16] today and I really pray that we're able [00:42:18] to revitalize that system the founders [00:42:20] wrote very clearly in Federalist 51 Men [00:42:22] Are Not Angels [00:42:24] they knew men are broken from birth [00:42:27] and so therefore if you believe men are [00:42:29] up to no good then you got to create a [00:42:31] system where power is not concentrated [00:42:34] so I ask all the time I say what is the [00:42:37] worst thing that a human being can do [00:42:39] what is the worst thing a human being [00:42:40] can do and you know people would say [00:42:42] they'd say all sorts of graphic awful [00:42:44] things and I'd say yeah that's that's [00:42:45] true you could murder you could lie you [00:42:47] could steal you could rape you could [00:42:48] pill it you could pull under good all [00:42:49] that stuff what's even worse than that [00:42:50] what if you have a government that does [00:42:52] those things [00:42:53] because it's not just one person doing [00:42:55] it it's institutionalized it's a Soviet [00:42:57] Union [00:42:58] you're not just killing one person [00:42:59] you're killing 100 million people [00:43:01] so the founders knew that only God [00:43:04] should have the power to make laws to [00:43:07] enforce laws and to interpret laws [00:43:09] Isaiah 33 22 God is the law Giver the [00:43:12] judge and the administrator paraphrasing [00:43:14] and so they had to break those into [00:43:15] three different branches they knew what [00:43:17] Lord Acton said that you know absolute [00:43:19] power corrupts absolutely and so that is [00:43:21] a moral claim it's a moral claim that if [00:43:24] Government gets too big your Freedom's [00:43:25] getting fringed upon if you think human [00:43:27] beings are naturally good then why [00:43:29] wouldn't you make government big enough [00:43:30] to get rid of what you think is evil [00:43:33] but if you think human beings are the [00:43:34] problem well then you got to do [00:43:35] everything you possibly can to make sure [00:43:37] human beings don't get too much power [00:43:38] and they terrorize their fellow men it's [00:43:40] one of the most important questions you [00:43:42] can ask in modern society where does [00:43:44] that all come down to boy those [00:43:46] questions all have biblical answers [00:43:47] that's why I'm always telling pastors [00:43:49] and Christians you better lean in and [00:43:50] speak out those are not political [00:43:51] questions those are biblical questions [00:43:53] that's all that's unfolding today on the [00:43:56] news do you think human beings are [00:43:57] naturally good what is a human being [00:43:59] when does Life Begin [00:44:00] God created man and woman these all now [00:44:02] are considered to be political issues no [00:44:04] no they're not these are these are [00:44:05] things that are answered so clearly in [00:44:08] the word of God so if you're a Christian [00:44:09] out there I just want to encourage you [00:44:11] to speak out more boldly and clearly on [00:44:13] this there is no debater argument now if [00:44:14] you can want to come up to the line and [00:44:15] tell me the Bible endorses [00:44:17] transgenderism we'll have a lot of fun [00:44:18] because I I don't know what that's all [00:44:20] about [00:44:21] but you could have you could have very [00:44:23] understandable questions on certain [00:44:25] topics you know from the Christian [00:44:26] Perspective and we can interface and [00:44:27] Dialogue on that the Bible is very clear [00:44:30] it's very clear about how it respects [00:44:32] power first and foremost the ultimate [00:44:33] power is God not here on Earth founding [00:44:36] fathers knew that they wrote it so [00:44:37] clearly God has mentioned four times in [00:44:39] the Declaration of Independence they [00:44:40] swore everything under Divine Providence [00:44:43] when they wrote in the Declaration of [00:44:45] Independence by the way was the [00:44:46] outgrowth was the last chapter in a [00:44:49] Christian Revival in America something [00:44:51] we don't teach our kids well enough in [00:44:53] our nation was a black robe Regiment of [00:44:54] Jonathan Edwards and John Whitfield [00:44:56] um George Whitfield I'm sorry and [00:44:58] Jonathan Mayhew speaking the word of God [00:45:00] over 35 000 outdoor sermons that were [00:45:02] given on the Eastern Seaboard all of [00:45:04] that preaching all of that teaching then [00:45:06] resulted in a population that was [00:45:08] finally ready for Liberty [00:45:11] and Liberty is not man's idea it's God's [00:45:13] idea and Liberty is not doing whatever [00:45:14] you want to do whenever you want to do [00:45:16] it Liberty is not going to be able to do [00:45:17] heroin on the side of the street that's [00:45:19] licentiousness big difference Liberty is [00:45:21] being able to have the ability to do the [00:45:24] right thing [00:45:25] the big difference Liberty is pursuing [00:45:28] virtue and you might say well how do you [00:45:30] know what is virtuous this is where we [00:45:31] as Christians have the answer very [00:45:32] clearly it all comes back to the [00:45:34] irrefutable standard now this speech [00:45:36] applies to people that are not [00:45:37] Christians as well but being here at a [00:45:39] Christian University I just want to [00:45:41] implore you I want to encourage you to [00:45:43] lean in on these topics and this [00:45:44] discussion if you do not have truth in [00:45:46] your Society all that comes out of that [00:45:49] is power [00:45:50] that's it and that's exactly what the [00:45:52] post-modernist the deconstructionist the [00:45:54] left is the title trans whatever [00:45:55] category you want to use all they have [00:45:56] is power because they don't believe that [00:45:58] there is truth they believe it's my [00:45:59] truth bunch of garbage they believe that [00:46:01] it is my personal experience [00:46:03] instead of believing that there is a [00:46:05] truth and a way and a specific way to be [00:46:08] able to organize society around that so [00:46:10] in that closing we as Christians I think [00:46:12] are going to be called to do more [00:46:12] Jeremiah 29 7 demand the welfare of the [00:46:15] nation that you are in because your [00:46:16] welfare is tied to your nation's welfare [00:46:18] Zechariah 8 16-17 care about the justice [00:46:22] and the well-being of the business and [00:46:23] the sit of the of the city within your [00:46:25] Gates basically the city within your [00:46:27] Gates what is happening in your [00:46:28] community I'm paraphrasing that [00:46:30] scripture in particular Daniel fasted [00:46:32] and prayed for his Nation Esther [00:46:33] Mordecai Nehemiah Jeremiah all cared [00:46:35] about what secular government was doing [00:46:37] for God's chosen purpose apathy and [00:46:39] cynicism are not acceptable for [00:46:41] Christians in modern America today and I [00:46:43] will close on that let's do some [00:46:44] questions thank you guys [00:46:55] okay you guys you guys can form a line [00:46:58] here [00:47:00] and uh if you disagree you're welcome to [00:47:02] go to the front and um by the way if um [00:47:05] if someone is let's just it's obviously [00:47:07] a majority conservative audience here [00:47:09] this is important the media never [00:47:11] reports on this by the way it no this is [00:47:13] important if a liberal comes up give [00:47:16] them the opportunity to answer ask their [00:47:18] question no ridicule or mockery we're [00:47:20] going to give them the respect that [00:47:21] generally they never give me or us okay [00:47:24] um I said generally I said generally [00:47:26] okay [00:47:28] um but no don't interrupt them or Heckle [00:47:30] them it takes courage to come up and ask [00:47:33] a question in a room of people that you [00:47:35] don't agree with okay let's do a [00:47:36] question [00:47:37] Charlie thank you for your time here [00:47:39] tonight [00:47:40] um I just wanted to congratulate you uh [00:47:42] as being a father and I wanted to thank [00:47:45] you [00:47:49] and I wanted to ask how has your life [00:47:51] been different and have you faced any [00:47:53] challenges [00:47:55] wow um well look here's the best way I [00:47:57] can explain it uh you know kind of like [00:47:58] the Old Testament and the New Testament [00:48:00] um it's that big of a deal it's like [00:48:02] everything changes and for other parents [00:48:04] out there [00:48:06] um you know someone said something to me [00:48:07] they said you know you finally share a [00:48:08] title with God I said what's that you're [00:48:10] both fathers I said that's really it's [00:48:12] very deep you think about that [00:48:14] um and it's true uh yeah it's it still [00:48:17] is changing me it's not like a thing [00:48:19] that gets changed immediately [00:48:21] um but I'll be honest part of it boy [00:48:24] does it animate me to want to fight [00:48:25] harder because you know the I I really [00:48:29] look I I'm gonna [00:48:30] I'm gonna generalize this there's plenty [00:48:33] of good people without children and [00:48:35] there's plenty of bad people without [00:48:36] children okay so that's fine but I [00:48:38] generally believe that if more people in [00:48:42] our leadership class in America had [00:48:44] children earlier America would be a much [00:48:46] Freer country I really believe that [00:48:48] um I I could I could go into this in [00:48:50] great detail but [00:48:52] um it anchors you it's very real you [00:48:54] know we live in kind of this very [00:48:56] disturbing moment where kind of [00:48:58] fictional narratives Reign Over kind of [00:49:02] reality [00:49:03] having a child is very real [00:49:05] you don't you don't get to like live in [00:49:07] this kind of post-modern argument of [00:49:10] well you know I Define my own existence [00:49:13] and my own gender it's like no actually [00:49:14] it's very very real [00:49:16] and it rejects all this kind of [00:49:18] nonsensical abstractions and it anchors [00:49:20] you in a way that is very very profound [00:49:22] so I uh I encourage and I say this with [00:49:25] no sarcasm I encourage young people to [00:49:27] get married very early [00:49:28] and stay very loyally married to that [00:49:30] person and have lots of children to [00:49:33] reject hookup culture and all that [00:49:34] nonsense that is pervading our society [00:49:40] and so [00:49:42] yeah I could go further and just Just [00:49:45] For Men you know women email us all the [00:49:47] time they say they can't find husbands [00:49:49] and all that we get that all the time so [00:49:51] I'll just give some advice no I'll give [00:49:52] some advice to men about the two things [00:49:54] that they say are missing with young men [00:49:56] in America I know you didn't ask about [00:49:57] this but I don't care so [00:50:00] self-control is number one young ladies [00:50:03] would probably agree and the number two [00:50:05] they're not responsible for anything [00:50:07] responsibility is considered to be the [00:50:09] most attractive quality in men because [00:50:11] it's so lacking in America today so if [00:50:13] you're looking for a wife or vice versa [00:50:15] I'll let my wife give the young ladies [00:50:18] advice I'm not even going to try to go [00:50:19] there but young men we have a men's [00:50:21] Summit for this exact reason now at [00:50:22] Turning Point USA so God bless you thank [00:50:25] you [00:50:31] hi Charlie I just want to say thank you [00:50:33] for being here tonight and then my [00:50:34] question is there have been some [00:50:36] pro-abortion posters put up around [00:50:37] campus by Planned Parenthood advertising [00:50:39] door knocking jobs as a student body who [00:50:42] is mostly conservative how does Planned [00:50:43] Parenthood get away with this and how [00:50:45] can we educate our peers [00:50:47] yeah [00:50:48] um how do they get away with it yeah I [00:50:50] mean guess [00:50:51] yeah you guys are a Christian School I I [00:50:53] mean I would be so let's pretend I was [00:50:55] in charge of the school I wouldn't allow [00:50:56] planned paren to put up posters at GCU I [00:50:58] just wouldn't allow it now now you say [00:51:00] Okay Charlie you know aren't you for [00:51:02] freedom of speech and all of that yo [00:51:03] look your Christian School is it an [00:51:05] alignment your values no and also I [00:51:08] don't think advertising for The Butchery [00:51:10] of children is that necessary the speech [00:51:12] that I'm gonna go to the wall for [00:51:15] but if you have that opinion we get [00:51:16] dialogue about it life begins at [00:51:18] conception it's very clear it's not your [00:51:20] DNA it's not your choice abortion is [00:51:22] kind of in Vogue right now it's kind of [00:51:25] something that everyone wants to talk [00:51:26] about I've said for quite a while that [00:51:28] the great let's just say [00:51:31] um the pro-life Community has to [00:51:32] continue to step up to the bat to make [00:51:34] it easier for people to be able to have [00:51:37] children in this country including [00:51:38] through some public policy measures but [00:51:40] I I just I I always cringe and it really [00:51:43] makes me sad when I have to hear the [00:51:44] term unwanted pregnancy [00:51:46] I just I I that what a that's a morally [00:51:49] troubling statement isn't it unwanted [00:51:52] unwanted by whom [00:51:54] by the Creator oh no no Creator already [00:51:56] loves that being and wants that being to [00:51:58] thrive and survive and flourish and [00:52:00] breathe and be able to be out in the [00:52:01] world unwanted by the mother in that [00:52:03] particular moment maybe [00:52:05] is and I'm not going to get deep into [00:52:08] why that might be the matter it might be [00:52:09] a lack of explanation of what that being [00:52:11] actually is but look we need to better [00:52:13] educate about this I'll be very honest [00:52:15] um it's a Slaughter in our country it's [00:52:17] a million babies every single year [00:52:19] um it happens there's 3 000 abortions a [00:52:22] day in our country and a vast vast [00:52:24] majority of them are abortions of [00:52:25] convenience and choice they're not [00:52:26] because of rape incest or even life of [00:52:28] the mother which is incredibly [00:52:30] incredibly incredibly rare but let's [00:52:32] pretend we just you know said okay you [00:52:33] can have abortion for those three [00:52:34] categories [00:52:35] well then you're talking about 99.2 [00:52:38] percent of all abortions that are part [00:52:39] of that 1 million category that our [00:52:41] abortions are convenient so look this is [00:52:43] a question of a morals of a society why [00:52:45] is abortion abortion uncomfortable for [00:52:47] some people to talk about well it's [00:52:49] because it it does it happens in closed [00:52:52] rooms and it doesn't really feel [00:52:53] personal because it's private well we [00:52:55] know it's happening just because you [00:52:57] don't see it every single day it should [00:52:59] still really bother you and boy if we as [00:53:00] Christians put up with it I don't know [00:53:02] what to tell you uh it's very very clear [00:53:04] in the scriptures when life begins and [00:53:07] um so yeah look I I could go on about [00:53:09] that but uh Planned Parenthood has has [00:53:12] done more Destruction for these [00:53:13] communities than almost any other [00:53:15] organization we should defund Planned [00:53:16] Parenthood by the way they shouldn't [00:53:17] they shouldn't receive a taxpayer dollar [00:53:19] thank you appreciate it [00:53:23] that's the outfit I was talking about by [00:53:25] the way look at that [00:53:31] well thank you so much for coming uh I [00:53:33] gotta say I didn't know what to really [00:53:35] thank you before beforehand before this [00:53:37] speech um I could say I'm now definitely [00:53:39] a fan [00:53:40] um thank you my sister got me uh [00:53:43] interested in uh in your speeches and [00:53:45] your stuff like that uh she couldn't [00:53:47] make it tonight she's in California [00:53:48] right now uh she's serving our country [00:53:50] in the Air Force and uh [00:53:52] yeah definitely [00:53:56] um and she would love for you to sign [00:53:57] this hat but uh on to my question sorry [00:54:00] just want to plug that in there [00:54:02] um [00:54:03] so I loved what you said about the [00:54:04] founding fathers tonight obviously [00:54:06] that's why I uh wear this attire [00:54:09] um so uh my question is if the founding [00:54:12] fathers could somehow see America in [00:54:14] 2022 what is one thing you think they'd [00:54:17] be proud of that we've overcome or that [00:54:19] we've maintained and what is one thing [00:54:20] you think they'd be disappointed in [00:54:22] it's a very very profound question and [00:54:24] I'll be happy to sign that um [00:54:25] disappointed in um almost all of it uh [00:54:28] so but yeah look I think what they would [00:54:31] be most surprised let me start with this [00:54:33] the thing that and here we are kind of [00:54:35] playing Monday Morning Quarterback of [00:54:37] the great designers of the longest [00:54:39] lasting constitutional republic and free [00:54:41] of society in the history of the world [00:54:42] so you know just forbid me from doing [00:54:45] this but I think they would I think it's [00:54:46] very well agreed upon is the creation of [00:54:49] this fourth branch of government [00:54:51] is this unelected administrative state [00:54:53] that came up in the Woodrow Wilson [00:54:54] presidency of the FBI the CIA the [00:54:56] Department of Justice the EPA this [00:54:58] unaccountable unelected fourth branch of [00:55:00] government that has unlimited amounts of [00:55:02] power that kind of operates in total [00:55:04] violation to the promises the moral [00:55:06] claims of the U.S Constitution the moral [00:55:09] claims of consent to govern where do [00:55:11] they get their consent from they just [00:55:12] operate on their own they always exist [00:55:14] the Machinery grinds on separation of [00:55:17] powers not really because they're almost [00:55:18] above the three branches of government [00:55:20] the fourth branch of government spies on [00:55:22] President spies on members of Congress [00:55:24] right I mean it's it leaks documents of [00:55:26] IRS you know documents of sitting [00:55:29] present and like that's they're almost [00:55:30] more powerful they're almost The [00:55:31] Sovereign and then finally the thing [00:55:34] that really troubles me the most about [00:55:36] the fourth branch of government is [00:55:37] another one of the claims that Madison [00:55:39] and Hamilton and Jay made in The [00:55:40] Federalist Papers is checks and balances [00:55:42] what is the check right now against this [00:55:44] fourth branch of government almost [00:55:46] nothing it's as if now the real power is [00:55:49] in the inner workings of these [00:55:51] bureaucracies so I think the founding [00:55:53] fathers would just be flabbergasted [00:55:55] about how we allowed that to happen and [00:55:57] then how we were able to like why didn't [00:55:59] we do something about that earlier 100 [00:56:01] years or why did you know maybe why they [00:56:03] didn't put more safeguards in place for [00:56:04] there but yeah let me let me say the one [00:56:07] thing I think they would be really [00:56:08] thrilled about are excited about I think [00:56:10] they would be shocked at how long the [00:56:13] Constitution stood and I'm not because [00:56:15] they didn't value their work it's just [00:56:17] it never before has a small r republican [00:56:20] form of government stood so long they [00:56:22] wrote about this in the Federalist [00:56:24] Papers and Thomas Jefferson basically [00:56:25] wrote this in so many ways he's totally [00:56:27] misquoted and misunderstood where people [00:56:29] say oh yeah he wanted a revolution every [00:56:31] couple years no he didn't want that what [00:56:32] he was saying is it's this form of [00:56:35] government has a tendency not to last [00:56:36] the fact we still have the same United [00:56:39] States Constitution that we had in 1787 [00:56:41] and 1791 at both ratification of the [00:56:43] Bill of Rights and the unusual [00:56:45] constitutions unbelievable that should [00:56:47] make everyone pause and say why [00:56:49] it's because the Constitution was not [00:56:51] written for the times it was written to [00:56:53] stand the test of time because it makes [00:56:56] very clear arguments [00:56:59] on morality and human behavior this is [00:57:02] something that differentiates me from [00:57:04] the progressives [00:57:06] John Dewey who's kind of the father of [00:57:07] public education in America said it's a [00:57:10] new age we have machines and airplanes [00:57:13] and we have gas powered engines humanity [00:57:16] is entering a new era whereas a [00:57:19] conservative say whoa just because you [00:57:20] have Twitter and you can fly across the [00:57:23] country doesn't mean human beings [00:57:25] radically improve we're just as selfish [00:57:28] and greedy and broken as we were [00:57:29] regardless of the technology we have in [00:57:31] fact the technology only amplifies how [00:57:34] broken we actually are it only makes [00:57:36] evil easier [00:57:38] and so [00:57:40] I think um [00:57:41] without belaboring the point the [00:57:44] founders I think would actually be [00:57:45] stunned how much we have screwed up and [00:57:48] how much of a chance we still have to [00:57:49] revive it [00:57:51] and so I think that should give you a [00:57:52] lot of hope it really does I'm by no [00:57:55] means think America is past the point of [00:57:57] no return and honestly a lot of it is [00:57:59] thanks to the founders I mean they give [00:58:01] us so many opportunities safeguards and [00:58:03] by the way the left always wants to get [00:58:05] rid of those safeguards abolish the [00:58:07] Electoral College abolish the fact that [00:58:09] Nebraska has Senators abolish the [00:58:10] filibuster like whoa no that's really a [00:58:13] thing right they want to combine all the [00:58:14] Great Plain States into one big state [00:58:16] because they say it should be done in [00:58:18] population of course not understanding [00:58:19] that the States created the Federal [00:58:21] Government the federal government didn't [00:58:22] create the states big difference [00:58:23] that local is better over the central or [00:58:25] the Supreme okay so but I just want to [00:58:28] just reinforce I I mean I love your um [00:58:30] fascination with the American Founders I [00:58:32] I wish that I pray for a Revival in our [00:58:35] nation where people really appreciate [00:58:37] how special they were 55 out of 56 of [00:58:40] the signers of the Declaration of [00:58:41] Independence were bible-believing Church [00:58:43] attending Christians Johnny John Adams [00:58:45] spoke fluent Hebrew here's how you know [00:58:47] how based the founding fathers were okay [00:58:50] they put Leviticus on the Liberty Bell [00:58:52] okay Leviticus not the Book of John not [00:58:55] Psalms Leviticus okay let Liberty Reign [00:58:59] throughout the land of which you are in [00:59:00] so I think a constitutional reset is [00:59:04] sorely needed in our country God bless [00:59:05] you man thank you [00:59:14] [Applause] [00:59:18] all right [00:59:22] hey Charlie uh I asked the same question [00:59:25] back like two years ago in Bismarck [00:59:27] North Dakota and I think my aunt would [00:59:30] kind of kill me if I didn't say hi for [00:59:32] uh amber viberto [00:59:34] and uh it was trying to remember the [00:59:36] last time I was in Bismarck but okay [00:59:39] not a lot of people go there [00:59:41] I do remember okay yeah [00:59:44] uh uh it's how will abortion affect our [00:59:48] youth or not our youth but my generation [00:59:50] and now that we kind of have all this [00:59:52] stuff going on in the Supreme Court was [00:59:55] Roe v Wade how would you answer that [00:59:57] question now as to where like two years [00:59:59] ago [01:00:01] yeah well praise God first and foremost [01:00:03] that Roe v Wade was overturned it was an [01:00:04] awful judicial decision [01:00:06] [Applause] [01:00:08] and um [01:00:11] and and if a liberal not a leftist is [01:00:14] being honest they would even agree it [01:00:17] was awful judicial interpretation it was [01:00:19] a total drive-by shooting of the U.S [01:00:21] Constitution it was and it was allowed [01:00:23] to stay for far too long and actually if [01:00:25] if the left was being honest of which [01:00:27] they're not about this topic the [01:00:30] decision that was administered down was [01:00:32] actually agnostic on the issue of [01:00:34] abortion itself the court did not rule [01:00:36] on whether abortion was right or wrong [01:00:38] it simply said it should be left to the [01:00:40] states [01:00:41] now I wish they would have ruled on it [01:00:43] being right or wrong obviously is it [01:00:45] very clear but that's that's besides the [01:00:46] point okay so how does abortion impact [01:00:49] your your Generation Well already is I [01:00:51] mean you know imagine if you had a [01:00:53] million more people in your Genera you [01:00:54] know the younger generation every single [01:00:56] year maybe you wouldn't need this [01:00:57] relaxed immigration policies and all [01:00:59] these other things [01:01:01] um [01:01:02] you know I I you look at certain [01:01:04] communities especially you know the [01:01:05] black community in this country the [01:01:06] black birth rate has been going down [01:01:08] significantly the last 40 years where in [01:01:10] certain communities the abortion rate is [01:01:12] actually greater than the birth rate in [01:01:14] certain communities so it definitely [01:01:15] impacts that but let me kind of talk [01:01:16] more morally if you will by the way the [01:01:19] U.S birth rate has fallen 20 by 2007 [01:01:22] 2007. it's remarkable let me just talk [01:01:25] more morally though if a country or a [01:01:26] nation a civilization or a people put up [01:01:28] with a million Souls basically being [01:01:32] terminated every single year [01:01:34] then what else are we going to put up [01:01:35] with the answer is quite a lot and I I'm [01:01:37] not you shouldn't be shocked the very [01:01:40] same nation that puts up with that puts [01:01:42] up with the medical mutilation of [01:01:43] children at alleged Children's Hospitals [01:01:46] this is our it's a very simple moral [01:01:48] question which again which is why I [01:01:50] encourage Christians to speak out about [01:01:52] this what do you do when you're strong [01:01:55] do you use that strength to protect the [01:01:57] weak or do you try to get more strength [01:01:59] yourself and exploit people that aren't [01:02:00] as strong as you it's a very simple [01:02:02] moral question [01:02:04] and biblical Christianity tells us to [01:02:05] protect those that can't protect [01:02:06] themselves [01:02:07] but if you don't believe in that thing [01:02:09] you don't believe in an absolute [01:02:10] standard or objective in that way why [01:02:12] not use your strength to crush the weak [01:02:15] most countries that do that by the way [01:02:16] most countries have done that it's all [01:02:18] about power right and by the way if you [01:02:20] don't believe that every being is an [01:02:22] image Bearer then it's even easier to [01:02:24] justify that as Joseph Stalin would say [01:02:26] one death is a tragedy a million is a [01:02:28] statistic and he was good at racking up [01:02:30] statistics [01:02:31] anywhere between 40 to 50 million people [01:02:34] intentionally murdered under his regime [01:02:36] Mao Zedong anywhere between 30 to 40 [01:02:37] million people and by the way both [01:02:39] Stalin and Mao were known for Mao more [01:02:43] than Stalin were more were known for [01:02:45] their zealous [01:02:47] anti-religiosity I mean that you cannot [01:02:50] have a widespread Marxist regime and a [01:02:53] vibrant church that is preaching the [01:02:55] word of God they cannot exist so one has [01:02:57] to go or the other you have to take over [01:02:58] the church you have to dilute the [01:02:59] preaching one has to happen or the other [01:03:01] and so that's exactly why I mean Mao all [01:03:03] but basically outlawed religious [01:03:05] expression it wasn't Christianity it was [01:03:07] just basically Taoist Confucian teaching [01:03:09] that he utilized for his own purpose and [01:03:12] also basically absorbed it so how does [01:03:13] it impact our country impacts our [01:03:15] country in every way possible [01:03:17] um but look I it's just a matter of what [01:03:20] is right and what is what is what is [01:03:21] real and what is true and I know for me [01:03:24] personally I'm going to do everything I [01:03:25] possibly can to protect those that can't [01:03:27] protect themselves thank you [01:03:35] hello Charlie [01:03:37] um my question is what are your thoughts [01:03:38] on a complete immigration moratorium [01:03:40] yeah I mean right now I think it's a [01:03:42] great idea especially with where [01:03:43] unemployment is right now [01:03:45] um I look I think immigration should [01:03:47] always be modified and let's just say [01:03:49] not modified immigration policy should [01:03:51] be adjusted towards the current [01:03:53] circumstances that we're living through [01:03:54] right so here's my here's my main [01:03:56] argument that U.S governmental policy [01:03:58] should always serve the Citizen First [01:04:01] always serve the citizen all of you [01:04:03] right now are entering into a job market [01:04:05] you're entering into a set of [01:04:07] circumstances uh where you are probably [01:04:09] gonna have student loan debt where you [01:04:12] probably inflation is absolutely [01:04:14] crushing younger people right now I [01:04:16] believe there is a moral social contract [01:04:18] argument to make that American college [01:04:21] graduates should be given preferences [01:04:23] and hirings over foreign students and [01:04:26] that is a moral question right so that [01:04:28] people say well Charlie how is that fair [01:04:30] of course it's fair it's fair in the [01:04:31] question of whose government is it [01:04:33] the government of the American people [01:04:35] should first and foremost serve the [01:04:36] American people once you're able to have [01:04:38] excesses beyond your limitations then we [01:04:40] could talk about how generous we want to [01:04:42] be but we right now are a nation 31 [01:04:44] trillion dollars in debt with the most [01:04:45] depressed suicidal alcohol-addicted [01:04:48] psychiatric drug addicted generation in [01:04:50] history that generation needs a lot of [01:04:52] help right now you guys and I don't mean [01:04:54] that in a negative way or a [01:04:55] condescending way and so immigration [01:04:56] policy should be adjusted in that way [01:04:58] not to mention we had 5 million people [01:05:00] legally enter into our country this last [01:05:02] year let's press the pause let's allow [01:05:05] that assimilation to happen if at all [01:05:07] because it certainly isn't happening [01:05:09] quick enough so I fully support it [01:05:12] um I think in the future that could be [01:05:13] adjusted or changed but you but this is [01:05:15] what Prudence is all about which is what [01:05:16] makes a conservative different than an [01:05:18] ideological person you look around you [01:05:20] see what's happening and you adjust [01:05:21] policy based on the time the [01:05:23] circumstances and your desired goal and [01:05:25] objective thank you appreciate it [01:05:28] foreign [01:05:35] I grew up uh never really had religion [01:05:38] in my life [01:05:39] um but somehow was I always remain [01:05:41] conservative [01:05:43] real question being and this environment [01:05:45] trying to get into politics being very [01:05:47] open-minded and actually enjoying [01:05:50] learning and growing with my knowledge [01:05:53] of the Bible and Christianity [01:05:55] as an outsider I feel like in [01:05:57] conservatism and I want to get into [01:05:59] politics how am I supposed to meld the [01:06:01] two but while not truly being a Believer [01:06:03] well first of all thank you for being [01:06:05] here it's awesome [01:06:07] um and yeah of course there's a place [01:06:08] for people that aren't Believers in the [01:06:10] conservative movement of course there is [01:06:12] it's about building a coalition for [01:06:13] Liberty and things that we agree on and [01:06:16] I will always say though that having [01:06:18] biblical Christianity and objective [01:06:21] standard is of which the entire there we [01:06:23] go again the entire Foundation that the [01:06:26] movement is built upon [01:06:28] um I would I would venture a guess that [01:06:30] if you really get into the weeds of our [01:06:32] movement over a period of time I think [01:06:34] you will become a Believer if you remain [01:06:36] open-minded [01:06:37] um especially if you read the word and [01:06:39] you pray and you ask God to come into [01:06:41] your life because reading of the word [01:06:43] never turns up void ever so but look I [01:06:46] get this question a lot I want to be [01:06:47] very very clear that as long as you [01:06:50] believe in Liberty you believe in what I [01:06:52] talked about here and you believe in the [01:06:53] natural law which I would probably guess [01:06:55] that you you probably believe in the [01:06:56] natural law I believe the natural law [01:06:58] was written by somebody right some [01:07:00] people just not trying to suppose but a [01:07:02] someone with a secular view would say [01:07:04] the natural law was just kind of you [01:07:06] know it just sprung into or we don't [01:07:07] know let's just put it let's I think [01:07:09] that's fair then welcome aboard [01:07:11] right because we're here as a way to [01:07:14] build a civil government [01:07:16] and a free Society we we believe that [01:07:19] those Origins and those roots [01:07:20] unquestionably come from Biblical [01:07:21] Christianity but if you want to lock [01:07:23] arms with me to make sure that we no [01:07:25] longer have a million abortions every [01:07:26] single year or you want to lock arms [01:07:28] with me to make sure that kids are not [01:07:30] medically mutilated for profit then I'll [01:07:32] be more willing to march in the streets [01:07:33] with you alongside most past more so [01:07:35] than most Pastors in this country [01:07:36] because most pastors are totally silent [01:07:38] on those issues and so I I'm not here to [01:07:41] say that you have your metaphysics [01:07:42] perfectly configured right I wouldn't [01:07:44] say that I believe there's only one way [01:07:46] one truth and one you know obviously [01:07:48] path but I will say though that [01:07:51] I'm a behaviorist when it comes to some [01:07:53] of these things what do you do [01:07:55] and I know some atheists that don't [01:07:58] believe a thing of the Christian [01:07:59] worldview that I have but they are more [01:08:02] outspoken about doing good and [01:08:04] confronting evil than a lot of [01:08:05] Christians than I know and I say welcome [01:08:07] aboard [01:08:08] I truly do thank you [01:08:16] hi Charlie uh thanks for taking the time [01:08:18] to come out and speak tonight I really [01:08:20] enjoyed listening to you my question is [01:08:22] for 2024 would you rather have the [01:08:25] nominee be Rhonda santis or Donald Trump [01:08:27] and why [01:08:29] get this question all the time okay so [01:08:32] um first I have to say you know I will [01:08:35] speak on behalf of myself personally or [01:08:37] Turning Point action Turning Point USA [01:08:39] which focuses obviously on everything we [01:08:41] talked about tonight world view [01:08:41] principles all that stuff so kind of [01:08:43] with that proper disclaimer I've [01:08:45] answered this question multiple times [01:08:46] before and I will answer it again [01:08:48] um I'm a loyal guy I said if Trump is [01:08:50] going to run again I will totally have [01:08:51] his back 100 if he runs in 2024. [01:08:55] um I refuse to be the type of guy that [01:08:56] says one thing and does another when it [01:08:58] comes to this and be wishy-washy on that [01:09:00] with that being said it's very very uh [01:09:03] possible it's possible that Governor [01:09:05] DeSantis might be a once in a generation [01:09:07] type leader he has been courageous and [01:09:09] wise and strong magnanimous and [01:09:12] effective at every single turn [01:09:13] um but here's what here's the what it [01:09:15] distills down through for me where I [01:09:18] think Ron DeSantis would be a good [01:09:20] president [01:09:21] I know Donald Trump was a great [01:09:22] president and that's that's what that's [01:09:25] what I were you about thank you I [01:09:27] appreciate it [01:09:32] hey Charlie maybe you remember me uh [01:09:34] last year from the University of Arizona [01:09:35] as the Latinos for Trump guy yes yeah [01:09:37] sure and now the Latinos for Kerry Lake [01:09:39] as well so vote for Kerry Lake [01:09:42] so I was wondering my question is this [01:09:45] given the fact that I'm pretty sure [01:09:46] you're more aware than anybody else that [01:09:48] the Latino Community really is moving to [01:09:50] the right and that I'm pretty sure we're [01:09:51] going to surprise the Democrats this [01:09:53] upcoming midterms election that we're [01:09:54] going to completely go to the right but [01:09:56] how do you think that me as a young [01:09:57] Latino conservative I can continue to [01:09:59] educate and you know I guess for lack of [01:10:03] for a better lack of a better way of [01:10:04] putting it kind of like you know really [01:10:06] get into their minds to show that the [01:10:08] Republican or the conservative movement [01:10:09] is more beneficial to us Latinos than [01:10:11] Democrats so what do you think again so [01:10:13] first of all God bless you I do remember [01:10:14] you I love the enthusiasm [01:10:16] um and so very simple uh every single [01:10:19] day remind the Latino Hispanic community [01:10:21] that it is white woke liberals that want [01:10:24] to teach your children that men can [01:10:26] become pregnant [01:10:28] every single day [01:10:31] every single day you should say by the [01:10:33] way one of the reasons why the Latino [01:10:35] Hispanic Community is moving to the [01:10:37] conservative direction is because they [01:10:38] were conservative all along and now that [01:10:40] this insane post-modern [01:10:43] deconstructionist policy of there's [01:10:45] unlimited amounts of genders [01:10:47] men can become pregnant we can have [01:10:49] abortion up until up until the time of [01:10:51] of termination that we're not going to [01:10:54] teach men or female but we're just going [01:10:57] to say you could be whatever you want to [01:10:58] be it turns out that in Latino and [01:11:00] Hispanic households not only is that not [01:11:03] popular that is a threat to their way of [01:11:05] life [01:11:06] that that is hostile where all of a [01:11:09] sudden they say I'm willing to do [01:11:09] whatever it takes to make sure that my [01:11:12] eight-year-old has not taught this sort [01:11:13] of gender garbage and perversion and so [01:11:16] I would frame it and again who am I to [01:11:18] say I mean you're part of Latino [01:11:19] community at least I look at the data [01:11:20] and I talk to a lot of people on our [01:11:22] radio program and our podcast I would [01:11:24] frame it as an issue of imperialism [01:11:26] I would say that you have white woke [01:11:28] people that do not live here that do not [01:11:30] care about you that are invading your [01:11:31] cultures and your community your culture [01:11:33] and your community and telling you [01:11:35] things that are not true using Force to [01:11:37] make your kids believe perverse queer [01:11:39] gender Theory and to believe in quite [01:11:42] honestly the rejection of traditional [01:11:45] conservative Hispanic values and finally [01:11:48] I would just kind of lean on the fact [01:11:49] that conservatives are becoming the kind [01:11:52] of movement of the muscular class [01:11:54] people that shower before work and [01:11:56] shower after work people that work with [01:11:57] their hands and not just people that are [01:11:59] in the zoom in Skype class in our [01:12:01] country no offense if you're part of [01:12:02] that that's fine but it's the muscular [01:12:04] class that kept our country going in the [01:12:06] midst of the Chinese fauci coronavirus [01:12:08] it was the muscular class that allowed [01:12:09] things to continue [01:12:11] and so lean in on that I think social [01:12:14] conservatism is the key to winning over [01:12:19] the Latino and Hispanic community in the [01:12:21] future we should lean in on that God [01:12:22] bless you man thank you [01:12:29] hey Charlie [01:12:30] so one thing that I find separates a lot [01:12:33] of conservatives is [01:12:35] a topic of foreign policy mainly [01:12:37] interventionism I don't mean invading [01:12:40] Iraq every weekend I mean there's a [01:12:42] conflict let's say the one in the [01:12:43] caucuses where art sock was invaded by [01:12:46] Azerbaijan and the US did next to [01:12:49] nothing [01:12:50] I want to know what your position of [01:12:52] that is do we take a more [01:12:53] interventionist stance of sanctions or [01:12:55] just having troops in the ground to [01:12:57] scrape people off or do we do nothing [01:12:58] and just hope it goes well yeah well [01:13:01] okay thank you for the question um [01:13:03] pretty well documented my views on this [01:13:04] stuff I always want I always want to [01:13:06] serve the American Homeland all foreign [01:13:09] policy should point back to what is best [01:13:10] for the American people and I have been [01:13:12] so outspoken just simply asking a series [01:13:14] of questions of which gets me accused of [01:13:16] being a Kremlin agent despite the fact I [01:13:18] say Putin's a thug and a war criminal [01:13:20] never should have invaded Ukraine I just [01:13:21] asked some very simple questions which [01:13:23] is what does success look like in [01:13:24] Ukraine and I've asked lawmaker after [01:13:27] lawmaker and I cannot get a serious I [01:13:29] cannot they say well the defeat of Putin [01:13:31] oh really you think that's going to [01:13:32] happen you think that you're going to [01:13:34] displace Putin with 70 billion dollars [01:13:35] another question to what cost and to [01:13:37] what end are you willing to spend so we [01:13:39] spent 70 billion dollars which I did so [01:13:41] kind of perplexed like wow we spent 70 [01:13:43] billion defending Ukraine's border but [01:13:46] we can't spend 70 billion or 7 billion [01:13:48] or 700 million defending our own border [01:13:50] with the illegal Invasion happening in [01:13:52] our country [01:13:53] now [01:13:55] a a response that you might have or [01:13:58] other people say Charlie those are two [01:13:59] different things hold on to the the [01:14:01] urgency the speed The Virtue signaling [01:14:03] that was used by the American Elite to [01:14:05] try to care about Ukraine's border and [01:14:07] not our own border it's honestly [01:14:08] perverted it is it's care much more [01:14:11] about the foreign than the immediate [01:14:13] much more about the distant than the [01:14:15] actual okay I have some other questions [01:14:16] though too what is the latitude and [01:14:18] longitude of which we're comfortable [01:14:19] with success in Ukraine because here's [01:14:22] the reality of it Eastern Ukraine they [01:14:24] want to be part of Russia no one wants [01:14:26] to say this out loud they voted this way [01:14:28] they they're ethnically Russian they [01:14:29] speak Russian they used to be part of [01:14:31] Russia okay why is that our business so [01:14:33] they say well because Putin is going to [01:14:35] march across Europe he can barely take [01:14:37] Ukraine [01:14:39] and I'm supposed to be worried he's [01:14:41] going to march across Europe and they [01:14:42] say well because we can't let him border [01:14:44] a NATO country he already does there's a [01:14:46] one million person military base in an [01:14:48] area called collingrad oblast which [01:14:50] currently borders Poland what other [01:14:51] arguments they use well we don't stop [01:14:53] them there they're going to invade [01:14:54] Cincinnati not worried about that Russia [01:14:57] can barely field their own military with [01:14:59] a declining population riots in the [01:15:01] streets mandatory conscription this is a [01:15:04] family dispute between two thugs not a [01:15:07] fan of zelenski either and I say that [01:15:08] openly he's awful to his people and you [01:15:11] could talk to anybody in that country [01:15:12] they'll tell you about that but that [01:15:13] does not mean Putin was morally right to [01:15:16] invade the country but you have to [01:15:17] understand something in Russian history [01:15:19] many people in Russian government all [01:15:21] they know is war they don't look at War [01:15:23] the way the West does war is normalized [01:15:25] in Russian history they Russian leaders [01:15:28] are judged by how they expand their [01:15:30] lands [01:15:31] and so the question is how does that [01:15:32] serve the American Homeland and the [01:15:34] answer is it doesn't so from the first [01:15:36] standpoint we should and you'll say [01:15:38] Charlie does that mean do nothing no you [01:15:40] try to broker peace [01:15:42] that's what a leader does you don't send [01:15:44] missiles and tomahawks you go there and [01:15:46] you say there's a meeting immediately [01:15:47] okay zielinski we put you in Via our CIA [01:15:50] which we did he was not democratically [01:15:52] it was democratically elected we we [01:15:54] displaced the actual Democratic leader [01:15:55] we go to Putin we say okay you get to [01:15:57] have fair and free elections the Easter [01:15:59] part of Ukraine if they want to be part [01:16:01] of Russia allowed a self-surrect and [01:16:03] self-select and sovereignty and a [01:16:04] hundred thousand people's lives could [01:16:06] have been saved if we had leadership in [01:16:07] that regard and here's something we [01:16:08] could all agree upon it but despite the [01:16:10] interventionist if we would have allowed [01:16:12] ourselves to have energy Supremacy like [01:16:14] we did under the prior Administration [01:16:16] Putin never would have had the Petro [01:16:18] dollar bill or do this in the first [01:16:19] place that we can all agree on so [01:16:22] foreign [01:16:24] I just ask questions how does it benefit [01:16:27] America and I I just get very angry [01:16:31] when I have to be lectured about why [01:16:33] it's our priority to go spend another 70 [01:16:35] billion dollars in Ukraine when I see [01:16:37] kids [01:16:38] that are going into debt to go pay rent [01:16:41] that could barely afford to go to school [01:16:43] kids that are addicted to psychiatric [01:16:46] medication because we lock down our [01:16:47] entire country I want our leaders to say [01:16:49] you know what it might be a great cause [01:16:51] in Ukraine let's do 70 billion dollars [01:16:53] to make sure this generation isn't [01:16:55] bankrupt homeless and depressed I would [01:16:57] love to hear a leader say that thank you [01:17:07] hi Charlie uh thank you for being here [01:17:09] tonight [01:17:10] um so my question is coming from a [01:17:13] perspective of a Christian that's very [01:17:14] very pro-life and cares very much about [01:17:16] Justice a topic I struggle with is the [01:17:19] death penalty how should I as a [01:17:22] pro-lifer and a Christian view death [01:17:24] penalty as someone who also cares about [01:17:26] Justice and it's a lot more difficult [01:17:28] for me to defend uh murderer a criminal [01:17:31] versus an unborn innocent child that's a [01:17:34] great question you and I both struggle [01:17:35] with it I've been outspokenly against [01:17:37] the death penalty in years past but I [01:17:39] got to be honest I'm moving away from [01:17:40] that position I'm not totally there yet [01:17:41] so let me let me just kind of correct [01:17:43] one thing that you said which is not not [01:17:45] trying to you know kind of focus on it [01:17:48] executing a criminal is not murder okay [01:17:51] that's that's something different okay [01:17:53] some would say that's Justice some would [01:17:54] say that's the you know administration [01:17:56] of [01:17:57] um the correct the the proper [01:17:58] consequence of the rule of law now I'm [01:18:00] not totally there here's one of my big [01:18:01] problems with the death penalty one of [01:18:03] the reasons why I'm against it probably [01:18:05] and but I'm moving on it is how many [01:18:09] people we've wrongfully executed in the [01:18:10] last 50 or 60 years it is the great [01:18:12] argument against the death penalty a lot [01:18:14] of people were wrongly executed based on [01:18:17] EX on bad evidence and they were later [01:18:19] shown to be exonerated or you know [01:18:21] basically here we go again [01:18:23] um with exculpatory evidence right so [01:18:26] that's number one but I do want to say [01:18:28] something I think the weakest argument [01:18:30] that people that are by the way the [01:18:32] death penalty is more expensive there's [01:18:34] all these other different things right [01:18:35] also the belief that this the state [01:18:37] shouldn't have the power to execute its [01:18:38] own citizens I resonate with that but I [01:18:40] think the weakest argument [01:18:42] for the against the death penalty the [01:18:44] weakest argument is they say well I [01:18:46] don't want innocent life to be taken [01:18:49] and I don't want to have someone on [01:18:50] death row to be murdered okay the [01:18:53] innocent person in the womb wasn't like [01:18:55] the chainsaw murderer or whatever reason [01:18:57] they're up for death row okay there's [01:19:00] it's a totally different moral category [01:19:02] the person who's on death row is [01:19:04] probably there for a very very good [01:19:06] reason right the person in the womb [01:19:08] hasn't done anything to anybody [01:19:09] whatsoever it is the definition of [01:19:12] Innocence right they've done nothing but [01:19:14] just existed in the womb so but I wanna [01:19:16] I wanna be honest I struggle with it for [01:19:18] the reasons of [01:19:19] people that were wrongly accused and [01:19:22] then you can't reverse that right once [01:19:24] they're dead they're dead and that's [01:19:25] wrong it's more expensive and I also [01:19:27] really I try to be principled on this [01:19:29] idea that the government should not be [01:19:31] able to have the power to take the life [01:19:33] of its own citizens I I do resonate with [01:19:35] that argument but at the same time [01:19:37] I see some of the crimes committed by [01:19:39] some of these people in our country and [01:19:41] I struggle with that too [01:19:42] and I say I'm supposed to now pay for [01:19:45] meals for them for the rest of their [01:19:46] life really [01:19:47] and so I'm right with you with [01:19:49] struggling with it but I definitely [01:19:51] yield towards the direction of not [01:19:52] having the death penalty currently but [01:19:55] um I have to say one of the clearest [01:19:56] moral thinkers on this is Dennis Prager [01:19:58] he's definitely moved me a little bit [01:19:59] he's been great thank you God bless you [01:20:06] Charlie thank you for coming out here I [01:20:08] wanted to continue with the foreign [01:20:11] policy aspect do you believe that NATO [01:20:13] has a place in the 21st century and we [01:20:16] should still be a part of it probably [01:20:17] not no I have to say that NATO is [01:20:19] basically the the largest socialist [01:20:22] subsidy experiment in the history of [01:20:23] foreign policy basically NATO is US [01:20:26] pumping in tens of billions of dollars [01:20:27] so these major countries have to then go [01:20:31] defend them like we not they're not [01:20:33] defending themselves right [01:20:35] um why so let me just get this straight [01:20:37] if Putin launches a missile to Poland [01:20:39] right now and hits a restaurant you [01:20:42] might get drafted how is that in our [01:20:43] national interest exactly I just ask a [01:20:45] series of questions so I think Trump did [01:20:47] the right thing to try to rearrange it [01:20:50] um I tend to believe that large Stan [01:20:52] long-standing you know massive [01:20:55] multinational alliances not a big fan of [01:20:57] that but um I'm open to different [01:20:59] arguments on that [01:21:01] um but man you want to talk about you [01:21:02] want to you want to you want to have [01:21:03] your opinion shaken on NATO go look at [01:21:06] how they are imposing radical gender [01:21:08] Theory throughout all the militaries of [01:21:11] Europe they fly the LGBT flag all that [01:21:15] stuff that that's what NATO is you [01:21:17] should go check it out so [01:21:19] um [01:21:19] but at the same time [01:21:21] I do want to I do believe that the West [01:21:23] is deserving of protection but boy uh [01:21:26] large entanglements in some of these [01:21:27] nations and there's a lot of members of [01:21:28] NATO that are awfully questionable [01:21:30] turkey plays both sides of the ball [01:21:32] let's just put it that way God bless you [01:21:33] thank you gotta get to the next one [01:21:35] sorry thank you [01:21:38] hi Charlie growing up as a Conservative [01:21:41] Christian uh who heavily believed in [01:21:43] loving people for who they are instead [01:21:45] of what they believed in high school [01:21:47] when people were starting to express [01:21:48] themselves like with their sexuality I [01:21:51] was heavily told I couldn't be an ally [01:21:52] because of my views how would you [01:21:54] respond to that [01:21:56] um you were told by by whom like the uh [01:21:59] like that was a belief in my family is [01:22:01] just loving people for people like for [01:22:03] who they are okay got it so um that's [01:22:06] what makes your own extent so your [01:22:07] family believed like let's say a kid is [01:22:10] you know thinks he's a man when he's 16. [01:22:12] you should love them were they just can [01:22:15] you no like we we love them for who they [01:22:17] are and like where they're at in their [01:22:18] life in the sense of it's not our place [01:22:20] to judge other people got it okay so um [01:22:24] so how do you respond as a Christian to [01:22:26] that or okay yeah so look let's if [01:22:28] someone is 17 years old and is suffering [01:22:30] from gender dysphoria right they're a [01:22:32] man who thinks they're a woman or a [01:22:33] woman who thinks they're a man we could [01:22:35] totally have compassion for that person [01:22:36] but the loving thing to do to that [01:22:38] person is make sure they get help [01:22:40] the loving thing is not to all of a [01:22:41] sudden justify medical mutilation taking [01:22:44] of Lupron or other interventions that [01:22:47] honestly show the continuation or the [01:22:49] escalating interventions that would [01:22:51] cause more suicide or more issues down [01:22:54] the road and look here's just one other [01:22:55] thing you know this is the tension that [01:22:57] I think you know happens sometimes in [01:22:59] Christianity where people say we must [01:23:01] accept all people that is not true that [01:23:04] is not biblical at all now we must stand [01:23:07] on Truth we must stand on the natural [01:23:08] law we must have Grace in all things but [01:23:11] the Bible is very very clear if you love [01:23:13] God you must hate what is evil that's a [01:23:15] harsh teaching for some people it's [01:23:17] Psalm 97 10. and so look I think that if [01:23:19] someone you know is suffering from that [01:23:21] condition you shouldn't be a jerk to [01:23:23] them but you also should love them [01:23:24] enough to say that God has a greater [01:23:27] plan for you than from staying in this [01:23:29] current condition that you currently are [01:23:30] and that kind of goes back to what what [01:23:32] is love right which is it is it phileo [01:23:34] Agape Eros or storge you see we have one [01:23:37] word for love and we use it [01:23:39] interchangeably here in the West but in [01:23:40] biblical Christianity in the coinage [01:23:42] Greek there's multitude different words [01:23:43] for love is it phileo Brotherly Love is [01:23:46] it storge you know kind of apparent to [01:23:48] child love is it Eros romantic love or [01:23:50] is it Agape sacrificial love and so you [01:23:52] know the type of love where God [01:23:53] sacrificed himself for us is one thing [01:23:56] but is it the type of love where it's a [01:23:57] brotherly love where I love you so much [01:23:59] I'm not going to allow you to stay where [01:24:01] you are because I believe God has a [01:24:02] better plan in store for you that that I [01:24:04] believe is more loving than justifying a [01:24:08] lifestyle that's in let's just say [01:24:10] complete and total war with God's [01:24:12] natural design God bless you thank you [01:24:18] hi Charlie [01:24:20] thank you for being here it's a pleasure [01:24:21] to be here I'm a big fan [01:24:23] um my question is about [01:24:25] the war in Ukraine and how it's [01:24:26] currently projected to go with NATO [01:24:29] being you know the way it is how [01:24:33] let me let me um sorry I'm [01:24:36] so I have I have a brother who's in the [01:24:38] Army I got out of the Navy last year and [01:24:40] I have a lot of friends who are coming [01:24:41] up on the end of their contracts trying [01:24:42] to figure out if they should re-enlist [01:24:44] or get out and my question is with the [01:24:48] war going the way it is and the [01:24:50] potential for U.S involvement do you [01:24:52] think that they [01:24:53] how what would you say to someone who is [01:24:55] considering whether or not to stay in or [01:24:57] get in versus get out yeah so um first I [01:25:01] I this I get this question all the time [01:25:02] and it's a very difficult question to [01:25:03] answer because who am I to try to deter [01:25:06] the willingness of someone who wants to [01:25:07] serve America right it's a very very [01:25:09] difficult question let's put the Ukraine [01:25:11] thing aside because we I think we've [01:25:12] talked about that plenty let's talk [01:25:14] about how why military enrollment is [01:25:16] down 25 this year military enrollment is [01:25:19] down 25 because the military is quickly [01:25:21] becoming a college campus with missiles [01:25:28] you look at what's happening to the [01:25:30] military from the woke seminars to the [01:25:33] gender ideology you have PSAs put [01:25:36] forward by the Navy that says that we [01:25:39] need to get people's genders correctly [01:25:41] we need to get their pronouns correctly [01:25:42] I'm sorry they're more worried about [01:25:44] social sensitivity than crushing and [01:25:47] killing the enemy [01:25:49] I would caution your loved ones your [01:25:51] brother your friends to be more worried [01:25:53] about that [01:25:55] and what that might mean where you have [01:25:57] Mark milley who comes out [01:25:59] and he says that the biggest one of the [01:26:01] biggest problems in the military is [01:26:03] white rage what is that exactly you mean [01:26:06] the white rage that stormed Guadalcanal [01:26:08] Iwo Jima and Normandy Beach you fat bum [01:26:11] like that's the white rage that you're [01:26:13] worried about [01:26:17] you mean like the white rage [01:26:19] I'm not saying that all the people in [01:26:20] the military in World War II were [01:26:22] Caucasian but a vast majority were and [01:26:24] they had a lot of rage against the Nazis [01:26:26] and I'm glad they did [01:26:29] and so or and then the other thing I [01:26:31] would say is the the vaccine thing is [01:26:34] that if they have any sort of claim in [01:26:36] the future that they don't want to have [01:26:39] to take an mRNA Gene altering technology [01:26:41] against their will [01:26:42] then the United States military probably [01:26:44] is not the best choice for them and then [01:26:46] I would also just everyone look up who [01:26:48] the rear Admiral for health is [01:26:51] Levine [01:26:53] of which got me suspended from Twitter [01:26:55] for even mentioning it [01:26:58] so that would actually give me greater [01:26:59] caution than that than than the [01:27:02] Ukrainian situation because I do still [01:27:03] think that American Military involvement [01:27:05] is unlikely despite all the clamoring [01:27:07] and the kind of the incessant kind of um [01:27:10] cattle Walling around that so look the [01:27:13] the woke mind virus the pathogen of the [01:27:16] progressives is quickly infecting every [01:27:18] institution and boy the Chinese [01:27:19] Communist party they could not be more [01:27:21] happy with our Progressive ideology that [01:27:24] has over taken over massive parts of our [01:27:26] military and that's why military [01:27:28] enrollment is at the lowest levels since [01:27:30] the Vietnam War as people see it God [01:27:33] bless you thank you [01:27:40] hello Charlie [01:27:42] um I would like to ask you about the [01:27:43] importance of money so under executive [01:27:45] order uh [01:27:47] 14-067 the Federal Reserve is tasked [01:27:50] with looking into how the a central bank [01:27:53] digital currency might be created and [01:27:55] they are evaluating the necessary steps [01:27:58] and requirements Implement implementing [01:28:00] one uh what are your thoughts on bitcoin [01:28:02] and what do you think [01:28:05] uh how important do you think its [01:28:09] adoption is in securing individual [01:28:11] liberties in this country a huge fan of [01:28:13] Bitcoin [01:28:14] um the technology I think is terrific uh [01:28:17] I think it's just a matter of time now [01:28:18] when I say Bitcoin I really mean uh [01:28:20] cryptocurrency more broadly or generally [01:28:23] I'm not trying to endorse a coin or [01:28:24] telling you to buy it or any of that [01:28:26] stuff that got Kim Kardashian in trouble [01:28:27] okay for all the federal Regulators that [01:28:29] are watching this [01:28:31] um you could buy ethereum you could buy [01:28:32] whatever you want [01:28:33] um but the idea of decentralized [01:28:35] currency that is transparent and [01:28:37] inflation resistant is very important to [01:28:40] Liberty money is a store of value that's [01:28:41] all that it is money replaced the barter [01:28:43] system it's more efficient it allowed [01:28:45] the entire Western World to be developed [01:28:47] and the war on Liberty is direct is [01:28:50] being directly waged by the Federal [01:28:51] Reserve for a reason to deteriorate our [01:28:53] money I think to eventually reset it [01:28:55] um to be able to crush your earning [01:28:57] potential crush your ability to store [01:28:59] Capital crush your ability [01:29:01] um to be able to earn a life you know [01:29:03] build a life and earn Capital quickly [01:29:05] and the ability you want to be Bitcoin I [01:29:07] think is a hedge against all of that [01:29:08] without going too deep into the [01:29:10] technology of all of it using blockchain [01:29:12] and using it more broadly it is [01:29:14] resistant to kind of tyrannical [01:29:15] intervention if you will blockchain [01:29:17] because of its unique [01:29:21] one-to-one ability to be able to exist [01:29:25] um [01:29:26] and the other the other part about [01:29:28] Bitcoin that's so that's so fascinating [01:29:29] is The Ledger the ability that you'll be [01:29:31] able to see every transaction in real [01:29:32] time that only gives you trust and [01:29:34] transparency in the system where our [01:29:36] current our current system is built on [01:29:39] fiat currency wishes and hopes so I'm a [01:29:41] big believer in crypto big believer in [01:29:43] blockchain [01:29:44] um I think it's just a matter of time [01:29:45] before you know that becomes the norm [01:29:47] but let me say one final thing resist [01:29:50] resist resist resist the federal [01:29:53] government creating a digital currency [01:29:55] do not allow that to happen God bless [01:29:57] you thank you [01:30:04] hi Charlie first I just wanted to thank [01:30:06] you for coming I'm a big fan uh so I do [01:30:10] want to be a dad one day and I'm a [01:30:12] little worried about uh the public [01:30:14] school system pushing uh more and more [01:30:17] radical leftist agenda like [01:30:18] transgenderism uh [01:30:21] socialism CRT so I would I just wanted [01:30:24] to uh see what you would recommend for [01:30:27] me and conservative parents for [01:30:29] protecting their kids as they enter [01:30:31] school like would you recommend private [01:30:33] schooling or homeschooling [01:30:35] well a couple things so we have the [01:30:36] wonderful partnership with Dream City [01:30:38] Christian Academy [01:30:40] um which is a turning point Academy [01:30:41] right up the street we're super thrilled [01:30:43] about that so if anyone watching wants [01:30:45] to send their kid to a great school [01:30:46] dream City Christian does a phenomenal [01:30:48] job uh we're also launching Turning [01:30:50] Point Academy pod schools all across the [01:30:51] country uh for kind of homeschooling [01:30:53] centers for anyone watching or you have [01:30:55] friends or family or relatives that want [01:30:56] to start a pod school with Turning Point [01:30:58] Academy anywhere across the country we'd [01:31:00] be thrilled about that [01:31:01] um and look so the numbers are [01:31:03] overwhelming though that homeschooling [01:31:04] kids outperform even private school and [01:31:07] definitely government school kids but [01:31:09] look every parent is different I went to [01:31:10] public school and for me it was it was a [01:31:12] good thing it was despite the [01:31:14] indoctrination and the Marxism I was a [01:31:17] little different where the more [01:31:18] opposition that I actually encountered [01:31:20] the stronger it made me and the more [01:31:21] willing it wanted you know I wanted the [01:31:22] fight but not every kid is like that [01:31:25] right some kids Bend to the whims and [01:31:27] kind of The Whispers of secular [01:31:29] progressivism when it's in the schools [01:31:31] but I think generally and broadly we [01:31:34] need a mass Exodus of kids from the [01:31:36] government school system into private [01:31:38] schools and homeschooling we have to try [01:31:40] to double schooling population and [01:31:41] double the Christian private school [01:31:43] population in the next couple years God [01:31:45] bless you thank you [01:31:52] Charlie thanks for coming out my name is [01:31:54] Tori and I am Vice chair of the students [01:31:56] for Kerry Lake Coalition [01:31:57] um and because of the importance of our [01:31:59] upcoming election on November 8th I [01:32:01] wanted to ask you if you believe Carrie [01:32:03] lake is the future of conservatism and [01:32:05] your thoughts and her policies as most [01:32:06] GCU students are from out of state and [01:32:08] could be unfamiliar with her [01:32:10] uh thanks for the question again I'm [01:32:12] speaking personally here um when we talk [01:32:14] politics especially this close to an [01:32:15] election so um I'm a huge carry Lake fan [01:32:18] that's not a mystery [01:32:19] [Applause] [01:32:20] um [01:32:21] Terry's awesome [01:32:23] Arizona's Arizona is a terrific State [01:32:25] and she would be so Arizona would be so [01:32:27] well served by having Kerry Lake as [01:32:29] Governor [01:32:30] um and I got to tell you though that you [01:32:32] know to see the race unfold and you have [01:32:35] someone who's not even willing to debate [01:32:36] that should tell you everything that you [01:32:38] need to know we just go up and debate [01:32:39] just go up and answer some questions but [01:32:41] here's the thing Carrie Lake understands [01:32:43] everything we're talking about tonight [01:32:44] the Border [01:32:45] the need for a free market and [01:32:46] flourishing economy the need to put [01:32:48] parents first in education and also will [01:32:50] reject the Californication of Arizona at [01:32:52] every single turn she's not going to put [01:32:53] up with the homelessness she's not going [01:32:55] to put up with the vagrancy she's not [01:32:56] going to put up with the teacher unions [01:32:58] you know dominating the entire kind of [01:33:00] government discourse here [01:33:03] um and despite all of the nonsense [01:33:04] despite all of the garbage thrown at [01:33:06] Kerry Lake I still think she's going to [01:33:08] win and I think she's going to win [01:33:09] convincingly and so I got to tell you [01:33:11] you look at Kerry Lake she's young [01:33:12] energetic charismatic full of life she's [01:33:16] willing to look at solutions for all [01:33:18] people and then you have Katie hubs [01:33:21] and so I got to tell you that um my [01:33:25] personal again not on behalf of Turning [01:33:26] Point USA Turning Point action yes which [01:33:28] is not hosting tonight but my personal [01:33:30] endorsement of Carrie like is 100 across [01:33:32] the board and I got to tell you I get [01:33:34] complaints from people all across the [01:33:35] country about their person running for [01:33:37] dog catcher and running for all this [01:33:38] different stuff we got so many emails [01:33:39] and I gotta say I smile I say man when I [01:33:42] get to fill out my ballot I get to vote [01:33:45] for Kerry Lake that's awesome thank you [01:33:54] after Charlie good is here again uh [01:33:56] proud Jew and proud Ultra Mega I'm even [01:33:59] wearing my Donald Trump yarmulk right [01:34:01] now under my schedule [01:34:04] so similar question is like my boy Danny [01:34:07] was asking with the Latino Community uh [01:34:09] uh the Rhinos never gave a damn about ex [01:34:11] spreading the Republican message and [01:34:13] especially the conservative message and [01:34:15] those leftist Schmucks don't give a damn [01:34:17] about minorities until it's time for the [01:34:18] time for us to vote uh so what would [01:34:21] your recommendation be to the America [01:34:23] first movement so that we can avoid [01:34:25] those mistakes and spread our message [01:34:27] yeah look we just have to represent all [01:34:29] people I mean look the the messages [01:34:30] we're talking about tonight are [01:34:32] applicable to all backgrounds and all [01:34:34] people at all times [01:34:35] um but you look at school choice you [01:34:37] look at parents rights you look at the [01:34:39] issue of the Border this is widely [01:34:40] popular and I have to just say this [01:34:42] rejecting and resisting kind of this [01:34:45] mass movement of locism is something I [01:34:48] think that represents all communities [01:34:49] especially communities of Latinos and [01:34:51] black people you know Across America [01:34:53] it's very very important but you know [01:34:54] you look at the kind of issues we're [01:34:56] dealing with in the country [01:34:58] um I want to see conservatives talk [01:35:00] about Solutions I want to see [01:35:01] conservatives lean in and try to improve [01:35:03] the lives of all people and you look at [01:35:07] how bad things can actually get you saw [01:35:09] over the course of the last two years [01:35:10] the lockdowns from the mass inflation [01:35:13] everything we're living through right [01:35:14] now you know it's very very clear [01:35:16] regardless of skin color or background [01:35:18] there's a lot of misery going around [01:35:19] right now [01:35:20] um and conservatives have solutions they [01:35:22] have Solutions rooted in reality rooted [01:35:24] in natural law that I think would lift [01:35:26] all people regardless of skin color or [01:35:28] background God bless you man thank you I [01:35:30] think this is the last question right [01:35:31] yeah [01:35:32] one more this will be the last question [01:35:36] Charlie thank you for coming out and [01:35:38] talking to us today [01:35:39] um so my question is so I remember [01:35:42] listening to a podcast with Ben Shapiro [01:35:45] and I love listening to him because he [01:35:47] sometimes will attack conservatism and [01:35:50] kind of give his a Viewpoint say hey [01:35:51] these things are we don't do well [01:35:54] so I was listening to his podcast and [01:35:56] one of the things that he brought up was [01:35:59] conservatism's ability to get in their [01:36:01] own way sometimes to where they struggle [01:36:04] to connect with a lot of people that sit [01:36:07] in the Middle where you're spending a [01:36:10] lot of your time fighting wokism in the [01:36:12] left and you have a lot of people in [01:36:15] swing states that are crucial states [01:36:17] that lead to a successful presidency [01:36:19] like Biden what do you think the biggest [01:36:22] mountain conservatism has to climb to [01:36:26] get out of their own way to hopefully [01:36:28] connect with those Center [01:36:30] people yeah that's a great question [01:36:32] um boy I would say generally so there's [01:36:35] two things kind of conservative [01:36:36] worldview or conservative politically [01:36:37] right so those can be kind of [01:36:39] um interchanged so I think for [01:36:42] conservative worldview in particular [01:36:44] um I think that we have to lean in and [01:36:46] learn more about how to be persuasive [01:36:48] and how to communicate and I think we're [01:36:50] doing a good job of that though I got to [01:36:51] be honest you know you look at the top [01:36:53] 15 podcasts on Apple news and you're [01:36:56] talking about suppression and social [01:36:58] media the top 15 podcasts are [01:37:00] continually eight or nine of them are [01:37:01] conservative it's bongino it's our [01:37:04] program it's Shapiro it's Walsh it's [01:37:06] Bannon and so you look at just kind of [01:37:08] the ideological direction of the average [01:37:10] podcast listener in America it's center [01:37:12] right that's pretty amazing considering [01:37:14] the amount of media and spending that [01:37:16] comes from the left that's number one [01:37:17] but just from politicians though I got [01:37:19] to be honest [01:37:20] um I think if politicians were more [01:37:23] clear about running against the threats [01:37:27] of what and I I it's kind of against [01:37:30] your question that's fine I just kind of [01:37:32] I don't know if I disagree it's just the [01:37:33] threat of what the kind of woke mind [01:37:35] virus will do to our country I think [01:37:37] that appeals to 70 to 80 percent of our [01:37:39] country I think that most people know [01:37:41] deep down that black only dormitories [01:37:43] are wrong [01:37:45] they know deep down that you know this [01:37:47] men can become pregnant nonsense that is [01:37:49] being taught in our schools or [01:37:50] pornography for six-year-olds which is [01:37:52] happening right or there's all this kind [01:37:54] of queer Theory stuff that's happening I [01:37:57] think it really animates people and it [01:37:58] builds broad-based coalitions and then [01:38:00] as far as kind of like General [01:38:02] conservatives I do say this as someone [01:38:04] who's 100 pro-life I do think though [01:38:06] unless conservatives go through a boot [01:38:08] camp on how to talk about abortion they [01:38:10] shouldn't talk about abortion I think [01:38:12] that most conservatives do not know how [01:38:13] to talk about the topic at all [01:38:14] whatsoever I'm willing to help teach [01:38:16] them Shapiro can teach them all the you [01:38:18] know Candace Owens and all that but most [01:38:19] candidates stumble over their own words [01:38:21] they don't talk about you know made of [01:38:23] the image of God not your DNA not your [01:38:25] choice it's a very deep complex issue [01:38:26] but it's very morally clear I think it's [01:38:28] a loser in some communities if you don't [01:38:30] actually know how to communicate it [01:38:31] generally actually think it's a winner [01:38:33] but finally the big big thing I think [01:38:36] conservatives have to stop playing based [01:38:38] on the terms of Engagement set by the [01:38:40] media the media is always trying to set [01:38:41] the terms of the engagement when [01:38:43] conservatives set the terms we win win [01:38:45] when we play offense we talk about the [01:38:46] issues we care about it was up to them [01:38:48] we'd just be talking about January 6 all [01:38:49] the time like that's the only thing that [01:38:50] matters right like I actually know [01:38:52] people can't afford gas they can't [01:38:53] afford their homes right they can't [01:38:55] afford their mortgages young rent in [01:38:57] Phoenix is going up astronomically for [01:39:00] working people I mean they're getting [01:39:01] crushed and so I think we have to set [01:39:03] the agenda and not care what the media [01:39:05] does and one final thing that I think is [01:39:06] applicable we have to not care about [01:39:08] what the general World calls us like it [01:39:11] doesn't matter if they call us you the [01:39:13] bad names at all are you doing what's [01:39:14] right are you doing it courageously and [01:39:16] are you doing it clearly that matters a [01:39:17] lot more than whatever label the media [01:39:19] tries to throw at you and just to kind [01:39:21] of go to earlier you know an earlier [01:39:23] thing that I was talking about [01:39:24] personally that's one of the things that [01:39:25] things that fascinates me about Kerry [01:39:27] Lake if she ends up winning it will be a [01:39:29] master class of someone who was once in [01:39:32] the media [01:39:33] fought the media successfully despite [01:39:35] being outspent like 30 to 1 on TV and [01:39:38] running a real people first you know [01:39:40] Arizona first issue based campaign it's [01:39:42] a fascinating test case in more ways [01:39:44] than one and I think it could be a [01:39:46] blueprint in other states and other [01:39:47] races thank you God bless you man [01:39:52] all right I want to thank our Turning [01:39:55] Point USA chapter
