00:01:08.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:39.000That's one of the reasons I like taking it.
00:01:41.000And ever since I started to take Relief Factor, I started to see substantial differences in my mobility, my movement, and my ability to do basic tasks.
00:01:50.000I travel to countries, you know, from Missouri to Oklahoma to Tennessee to Kentucky, Idaho, Dallas, Vegas, California.
00:01:57.000And I'm only able to do it because I have that extra spring in my step thanks to the 100% drug-free supplement, ReliefFactor at relief factor.com.
00:02:04.000So check it out right now at relieffactor.com.
00:02:19.000And I want to thank the Ahern here for opening up this wonderful facility.
00:02:25.000Who would have ever thought it would be difficult to have an event right now?
00:02:29.000The lockdown should have ended a long time ago.
00:02:31.000We're going to talk about that tonight.
00:02:32.000I want to thank our amazing purple shirt freedom lovers.
00:02:38.000These young people, and we're going to go through this tonight, but if you really want to look at who is fighting for freedom and liberty where the cost is very high, it's young people like our members at Turning Point USA every single day.
00:02:55.000It is harder than ever to be a conservative in our country, and it's especially hard to be a young conservative, especially on a college campus like some nearby.
00:03:35.000There's a lot I want to get to, and I also want to spend extra time on questions tonight because that's the most fun.
00:03:40.000And I feel like the last couple of events, we haven't had as much time as I would like there.
00:03:44.000But I want to talk about less about kind of big picture ideas to begin with and more just about what's happening in the news cycle.
00:03:52.000Because the last four or five days, there's been some things that have happened that are beyond disturbing and a big warning sign for those of us that love our country of exactly who's in charge of our country right now.
00:04:06.000And if you're like me, I believe that voter reform and voting reform, I should say, is long overdue, especially in states like Georgia.
00:04:14.000And so on our podcast, and I appreciate those of you that listen to our podcast and our radio show, we're on three hours here.
00:04:37.000I have to know all the call signs of every market across the country, so I'm still learning it.
00:04:40.000We've only been doing radio for about six months.
00:04:43.000And I talked about this on the radio program in the podcast.
00:04:46.000And those of you that have been listening know this, is that we've been following all the voter integrity bills across the country, and we've been following what's happening in Georgia.
00:04:55.000And what was being debated and eventually got signed into law in Georgia was a very average voting reform bill.
00:05:04.000Quite honestly, it's not very controversial.
00:05:07.000It shortens the Senate primary from nine weeks to five weeks.
00:05:13.000It requires you to prove who you are when you send in a mail-in absentee ballot.
00:06:06.000And the response, even for those of us that follow the media and these activist groups, was shocking.
00:06:14.000And the response was they went immediately to the highest level of outrage imaginable, where the president decided to declare economic warfare on a state in our country.
00:06:24.000So just so you understand, Joe Biden decided to put more economic pressure on a black county in Fulton County, Georgia, than on Iran.
00:06:38.000There has been more economic damage done to our own people than to a foreign adversary.
00:06:43.000And you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:06:45.000Major League Baseball threatened to move the All-Star game.
00:06:49.000And I'm a baseball fan, or at least I used to be, because I'm not really interested in watching an entire organization that doesn't reflect my values.
00:06:57.000And in fact, is at war with my values.
00:06:59.000I guess you're the pastime or used to be.
00:07:38.000Good luck going to Wrigley Field to the will call ticket and come up and say, I have first base tickets front row.
00:07:46.000They say, okay, can you show some identification?
00:07:50.000Every major league baseball stadium across the country go to will call tickets.
00:07:53.000They're going to ask for some identification.
00:07:55.000But now we have to be lectured by the head of major league baseball that you're a bad person if you dare demand that you verify your identity with a deluge of 1.2 million absentee ballots in Georgia.
00:08:08.000And by the way, I don't even require ID for most in-person voting in Georgia.
00:08:12.000No, we're just talking about mail and absentee balloting.
00:08:16.000And so Major League Baseball then decides to actually make good on their promise.
00:08:19.000They were pressured by Joe Biden, the economic warfare general himself, who decides to put more pressure on his own citizens to suffer than our foreign adversaries.
00:08:29.000I want you to think about how just demented that is.
00:08:31.000And I use that word intentionally, that you have a president that actually wants American citizens to suffer because he doesn't like a voting reform package that is passed.
00:08:40.000And he doubled down today, and we'll get to that in a second.
00:08:42.000And then you have Delta Airlines come out.
00:08:44.000And I remember, I just got done with my podcast, and one of our team members came up to me.
00:09:17.000And then Coca-Cola, which is also headquartered in Georgia, comes out.
00:09:20.000James Quincy, a foreign national who's running the company of Coca-Cola, comes out and says over and over the same thing because some HR department intern, you know, who's like 28 years old and graduated from some ridiculous university just wrote this for them.
00:09:33.000He doesn't even know what's in the bill.
00:09:38.000What exactly about the bill does not reflect your values?
00:09:40.000And so then Major League Baseball says, okay, we're going to make good on our promise.
00:09:43.000So they go from a county that is 62% black to a county that is 12% black in Denver, mostly upper middle class white, removing a $100 million stimulus to black-owned businesses in downtown Georgia to go fight systemic racism.
00:10:23.000What they're trying to say, and they're trying to make it hurt.
00:10:26.000They're trying to say if you try to reform your voter laws, if you try to fix the mess that we were able to benefit from, we are going to send the political enforcement squad after you.
00:10:38.000And in a very bizarre turn of events, that's now corporate America.
00:10:42.000That's the people that literally the Delta mission statement is taking people from one location to the other safely and securely.
00:10:48.000They're not a political commenting organization, but now they feel the need to weigh in on this.
00:10:53.000And this is part of the playbook of the left, which is take over functioning pre-existing institutions and use them for our own purpose.
00:11:00.000And Coca-Cola, the mission statement of Coca-Cola is very simple.
00:11:03.000Give as many people diabetes as possible.
00:11:04.000Like, that's basically what they do, right?
00:11:07.000And by the way, you should stop drinking that garbage anyway, whether or not they share your values.
00:11:20.000And so, but then you have a guy that has to lecture you about how bad of a person you are because you want to make sure that your elections are safe.
00:11:28.000And so what's really going on here, and I want to reinforce this point, and this goes back to how the neoconservatives view foreign policy.
00:11:36.000You guys might have learned, or maybe not, I don't even know if they teach this stuff.
00:11:44.000It was a belief back in the 1960s and 70s that you must stop communism in one country or else it's going to spread to more countries.
00:11:50.000And I'm not going to take a position on that either way.
00:11:52.000I think it's probably flawed and it got us into the Vietnam War, which I think was far too prolonged and protracted and probably a geopolitical mistake.
00:11:59.000That's not why I'm here tonight to talk about the Vietnam War, and I'm open to be corrected on that.
00:12:03.000The point is that the same theory that drove them for foreign intervention on domino theory, they're worried that all of a sudden Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada are going to start reforming their elections.
00:12:31.000That is one of the most insulting statements for the people that actually lived under Jim Crow that had to fight to end Jim Crow in America.
00:12:37.000It's so unbelievably insulting to compare that to it.
00:12:44.000I have to give the conservative movement credit, which I know many of you would consider yourself part of it.
00:12:49.000We're not falling to this nonsense anymore.
00:12:52.000Do you notice that finally on television, we have people that, without wavering an inch, believe that the bill didn't go far enough and we're able to push back against it.
00:13:02.000But unfortunately, we don't control the channels of communication, majority of them.
00:13:54.000Like, let's make sure Google has a lower effective corporate tax rate.
00:13:57.000And so, these same corporations that the Republican Party has gone out of their way to pander to are now basically saying, Oh, no, no, no, we serve a different master now.
00:14:12.000We are now going to pander to the woke industrial complex.
00:14:15.000And there's a lot of different reasons for this.
00:14:16.000You have the CEO of Coca-Cola, James Quincy, and Ed Bastion, who are very weak people, and all they care about is the next $17 million bonus so they can get another yacht in the Bahamas.
00:14:26.000They have no actual concern about America, the nation.
00:14:31.000They have a concern about America, the colony.
00:14:34.000Like, we are a country that has an economy in it.
00:14:37.000We're not an economy that happens to be in a country.
00:14:40.000And so, I love free markets because it's the best thing for human beings.
00:14:44.000I love free markets because it's the best thing for America.
00:14:47.000When all of a sudden, we're supposed to like bow at the altar of free markets while our country is getting crushed by these corporations.
00:14:55.000I'm going to call not, I'm going to call BS on that and say, No, like Coca-Cola and Delta, your tax breaks are ending.
00:15:01.000And if you want to go play on team left, you're going to lose because good luck running an airline with the idea that there's no math is racist.
00:15:09.000Like, try to land a plane with that belief.
00:15:36.000I said, by the way, we need answers on the treadmill incident.
00:15:40.000I'm still not convinced of why that's a total sidebar.
00:15:43.000I heard that in, and I heard that he sued.
00:15:46.000And then in Discovery on the stand, I don't know if this is true, it came out that it was all a lie and that it was actually his brother, total sidebar, but you want to talk about a corrupt guy.
00:15:56.000And you guys deserve so much better than that.
00:15:58.000Anyway, you guys have had many times in the middle of the summer, 104-degree heat, where you want to get out or go on vacation, and all of a sudden they're like, well, it's too hot to take off.
00:16:46.000But the point is that we're now being lectured by weak and quite honestly morally compromised rich people that are in control of our mega corporations, trying to now be the muscle of the American left.
00:16:59.000And I promise I wouldn't do too many mafia references in Vegas, but I just can't resist myself.
00:17:06.000You guys all know how the mafia used to operate, right?
00:17:25.000Where if you cross the line, they'll first do a very, very stern warning.
00:17:31.000You'll wake up with a horse's head in your bed or something.
00:17:34.000Or they'll follow you home from work or you get like a disturbing thing in your mailbox, but you know they're going to make good on the threat.
00:17:48.000And we try to say that we don't like it when whoever has the biggest baseball bat or the most goons is able to actually dictate what's right for a country.
00:17:56.000That's how we're now engaging our political discourse.
00:18:07.000If you look at the list of people that are like, this Georgia law doesn't share our values, they don't even, they just keep on repeating the same thing over and over again.
00:18:15.000What they're really saying, though, is that we take orders now from the current president, and we don't want, and this is the other thing, the cowardice.
00:18:23.000And I will go toe-to-toe with anyone on this.
00:18:26.000I think the most powerful threat in American politics, and all of you experience this, and it dictates almost all human behavior in this realm, is the fear of being called the R-word.
00:18:39.000That is the number one fear that James Quincy and Ed Bastion have, is the fear of being called a racist.
00:18:47.000So James Quincy, the CEO of Coca-Cola and Ed Bastion, they are willing to do whatever they are told to do, as long as they don't have a scathing editorial in the New York Times that says white silence is violence over at Delta.
00:19:08.000And quite honestly, I can't think, I could probably think of some other.
00:19:11.000That is one of the top levels and examples of cowardice and anti-patriotic behavior.
00:19:18.000Have a little bit of respect for the American taxpayer that has subsidized Delta for years and bailed you out last year during the lockdown where we gave you hundreds of billions of dollars to fly empty airplanes around the country.
00:20:09.000They're mostly private public partnerships made possible by government interference and U.S. taxpayers.
00:20:15.000But more importantly, when you start acting like a Democrat super PAC and not like an airline, I'm all of a sudden supposed to just act like that's a normal thing.
00:20:24.000Absolutely not Delta or Coca-Cola or the entire gauntlet of the list.
00:20:29.000And so this is a learning moment for conservatives.
00:20:32.000I think everyone's starting to get it.
00:20:34.000And it's a little bit shocking because you're like, well, then who is on our side?
00:20:37.000Because we always thought, well, at least the big companies are on our team, right?
00:20:41.00020 years ago, if you would have said that Delta would be anything but on team right, it would be like, if anything, they'd be in the middle, at the very worst.
00:20:52.000But these companies are afraid of the very same campus activists that you deal with at UNLV every day.
00:20:57.000They're afraid of being smeared, targeted, and these CEOs who are, again, supposed to be the adults of our society are acting like petulant children and saying, just give me my $25 million bonus, and I'm going to do whatever I'm told.
00:21:11.000I'm going to get into the action steps here.
00:21:13.000And I want to talk about one other thing because I was, did anyone see Tucker Carlson tonight?
00:23:11.000We never did petition drives for them.
00:23:13.000No one turned out in big numbers to make sure that James Quincy has a disproportionate impact on the American political zeitgeist.
00:23:22.000So the American constitutional system is being deconstructed without any of your say by this superstructure of corporations that are acting like a government in our own country.
00:23:53.000However, the socialists are like, oh, the corporations like us now because we all can agree that in this woke industrial complex moment, we're not going to do anything about it when they're the ones always ranting and raving about a small group of people controlling a lot of power.
00:24:06.000And so basically in Arkansas, he vetoed the bill.
00:24:08.000I'm pleased to say that the legislator overruled his veto.
00:24:11.000And in Arkansas, it's now going to be illegal to administer chemical castration material to eight and nine-year-olds.
00:24:19.000And the governor says, Oh, you know, there are studies to show that it's better for mental health of children.
00:24:31.000And I just wish the only critique I had, I Tucker said, You really trust the doctors after this last year?
00:24:36.000Especially the ones that are like in the public front facing like Dr. Fauci, I've been wrong about everything over the last year, people.
00:24:43.000Like, that's who you are now designing public policy around.
00:24:47.000The people that said, don't wear masks, wear two masks.
00:24:50.000The people that said six feet apart, virus, nothing to worry about, back to normal by July, the whole thing, right?
00:24:57.000And transmission rates, death rates, mortality rates, children, schools, they've been wrong about everything.
00:25:03.000And yet, these are the people that we're now crafting public policy around it.
00:25:06.000So basically, what this governor was saying is he was using all of our, he was trying to communicate to the audience and use a weakness of the conservative movement against us.
00:25:16.000Basically, he was like, oh, everyone's going to love what I have to say as long as I say, and he said this on the show, I'm of the tradition of Ronald Reagan and Bill Buckley, and I like limited government interference.
00:25:25.000I'm like, boy, are you misreading the conservative movement right now?
00:25:29.000You're misreading the conservative movement because we have a prioritization of what government should actually do.
00:25:34.000And it starts with, I don't know, not allowing eight-year-olds to self-destruct God's design against them, which, by the way, will hurt them both chemically, psychologically, spiritually, for the rest of their life.
00:25:45.000Like, if there's a role for government, it should probably say, this is not something we're going to put a stamp of approval behind.
00:25:51.000And he thinks, like, oh, you know, we're going to believe in this kind of libertarian utopia where I'm against it, but I'm going to allow it to happen.
00:25:59.000And I'm glad the libertarians came tonight.
00:26:01.000I agree with you guys on speech, guns, and lockdowns.
00:26:13.000And but this idea that government should not exist at the very minimum to protect our children, let alone 20 and 30-year-olds, from making life-altering decisions when puberty starts to kick in, then don't call yourself a conservative, Governor Hutchinson of Arkansas.
00:26:34.000I just use that example because I just watched this before, and I know a lot of you are confronted with that.
00:26:38.000And then there's another question that we should ask ourselves: why do we love limited government?
00:26:43.000We love limited government because we're afraid that maximum government will infringe upon your freedom, your liberty, and your lifestyle.
00:26:51.000So we have to answer the question: why?
00:26:52.000We don't just love limited government because it's just a catchphrase.
00:26:55.000Well, therefore, when other actors, I don't know, like a predatory medical establishment, start to come in and deceive eight, nine, and ten-year-olds that you need unproven, highly potent chemicals being put in your body that cannot be reversed, then all of a sudden we should say to ourselves, wait a second, that's not going to make our country freer in any sense.
00:27:18.000Actually, it'll probably do the opposite.
00:27:20.000It'll probably make you more likely to be in a state of desperation, depression, or whatever it might be.
00:27:48.000It was started by a guy by, I think, John Overton, was his first name, from the Mackinac Institute, of which ideas operate from unthinkable to eventually policy.
00:27:57.000And so my thesis that I think you'll all agree with is that the most important thing we as conservatives can do is move issues along the Overton window.
00:28:57.000Five years ago, if I would have come up here and I would have said, defund the police is a bad idea, you guys would have been like, what are you, like Aldous Huxley, an asset or something?
00:29:20.000And the question is, how should we move the window positively for issues we care about?
00:29:26.000Well, number one, you need vocal communicators, young people that are willing to unapologetically take stances on issues, not waiver against them, do it with charm and charisma, and say, you know what?
00:29:38.000Our goal is to end abortion in America.
00:29:41.000And then people will lose their mind, right?
00:29:44.000Like, no, let's have a conversation on that.
00:29:46.000And so, or our goal very strictly is that immigration should serve your fellow countrymen.
00:29:52.000And when 20 million people are out of work in our country, maybe we should reform our immigration policies, have a moratorium on immigration in our country, and say college graduates should get jobs before foreign nationals.
00:30:02.000Like, that should probably be a mission statement of the conservative movement.
00:30:06.000The point is that we're not thinking broad enough or big enough at all.
00:30:09.000And if there's one takeaway from the presidency of Donald Trump, there's many, and there's a lot of lessons, and there's things that could have gone differently, and I'm happy to talk about them.
00:30:18.000But the big lessons, the positive lessons, is the bigger we think, the more likely we are to get big things done.
00:30:25.000If our big picture vision for America is we're going to cut the estate tax for you, which is what the Senate Republicans did, they gave this long press conference two weeks ago on how they want to cut the estate tax.
00:30:36.000By the way, I support cutting the estate tax.
00:31:01.000I believe that it's magnanimous, generous, benevolent, and open-minded to say that we've been given a gift and you want to preserve that gift.
00:31:09.000Unlike the other people that have given a gift and they're like, there's nothing special about this, we're going to shatter it to pieces.
00:31:15.000And so I want you guys to mull over that because I think that's a really important point that we don't talk about enough: how do we move the window of political discourse or any discourse in our country?
00:31:27.000And that's partially what we're doing here tonight.
00:31:30.000And I could say one person who's been better at this than anyone else on the left is Alexandria Casio-Cortez.
00:31:53.000So what used to be considered an astronomical amount of money, all of a sudden the frame of reference completely changes because of AOC, who gets us thinking in the tens of trillions.
00:32:04.000But then we say, yeah, $2 trillion is not that big of a deal.
00:32:09.000And so the challenge for you is what issue matters to you most or matters most to the conservative movement.
00:32:14.000I would submit to you would be family development, lowering the divorce rate, increasing the marriage rate, having more children, increasing church attendance, helping small businesses, and challenging the corporate oligarchy.
00:32:25.000Those are things that matter to me, and they should matter to you.
00:32:29.000How are we going to then make changes in that direction in our country and then communicate them?
00:32:36.000Because the ideas that we're expressing today and our ability to defend them will manifest itself in bills tomorrow, in laws tomorrow.
00:32:45.000And that's what the left has been really good at.
00:32:48.000They have been non-stop on these issues, sometimes for decades.
00:32:52.000And they're finally just reaping the fruit, I guess you could say, of that strategy.
00:32:59.000So that's something to think about and something of why what you're doing is so important on these college campuses, because just the presence of a singular conservative idea on these university campuses is everything.
00:33:10.000The fact that it's 99 to 1 is so important because I guarantee you there's at least another 20 or 30% of people that are afraid.
00:33:19.000We'll talk about that too if people have questions about it because I guarantee there will be.
00:33:21.000People afraid to speak out, people afraid to say something.
00:33:24.000It's one of the number one problems in the country.
00:33:26.000And that's why what you're doing and you being here is so critically important, so just imperative for our country.
00:33:49.000We cannot get an idea from point A to point B.
00:33:52.000I think you'd all agree at that, right?
00:33:54.000You probably say that if only my neighbors were able to see the correct news flow, if only my sister was able to see the correct news flow, the country would be in a better place.
00:34:05.000Instead, they're propagandized by the media or by whatever it might be.
00:34:08.000So the problem is first, obviously capturing their ideas in ways that can make sense, but then you, and here's your call to action, you must become a social network.
00:34:20.000You must now do the work that you used to depend on Facebook on.
00:36:26.000That's why Greg Gutfeld's show is going to do so well because it's finally someone who's, I have a whole speech on comedy I could do that I'm not going to do, but comedy is the true pursuit of truth because you laugh when something is true.
00:36:38.000You laugh when all of a sudden it touches home and it confirms something you know in a way that you never would have thought of before.
00:36:42.000And the reason why no one laughs anymore is no one's saying things that are true anymore.
00:36:46.000Instead, they say a bunch of stuff they agree with that aren't true and you clap.
00:36:49.000So Jimmy Kimmel has become a political commentator instead of a comedian.
00:36:55.000And this town has plenty of comedians.
00:36:57.000And so something you guys would know about.
00:36:59.000Okay, I want to get to some questions.
00:37:01.000I want to just tie that all together, though, is that in order for us to actually make a meaningful difference, you have to stop delegating the responsibility to other people.
00:37:52.000Some people are not able to be as vocal.
00:37:54.000But you have to do something in this together.
00:37:56.000And so you got to cut out the spectator sport idea and then also understand that your salvation is not just going to come on Air Force One one day.
00:38:04.000And I have to say this, and I mean this as well.
00:38:08.000You guys got to cut out this hopium stuff, okay?
00:38:10.000The stuff that you're reading on these message boards, none of it came true.
00:38:27.000We spend six hours a day researching and going through this stuff.
00:38:30.000When we get something wrong, we'll correct it.
00:38:32.000But I actually believe we were less active as a conservative movement because people believe like, you don't understand there's a plan and there's massive arrests happening.
00:38:49.000And it's tough love that I have to give a lot of people, but it's written by psychopaths sometimes that quite honestly want to manipulate you into inaction so they can then dominate the country.
00:38:59.000So, and if some of you are like, what are you talking about?
00:39:23.000It may be a cliche when you say you are what you eat, but it is the absolute truth.
00:39:27.000Eating the right foods ensures you get the nutrients into your body that are essential to maintain your health and vitality.
00:39:34.000It's also true that if you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables every day, you could be seriously deficient in those nutrients that are so vital to your health.
00:39:41.000Can you imagine how you'd feel if you were eating 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day?
00:39:45.000I could tell you from personal experience, it's a game changer because I take six daily capsules from Balance of Nature every single day.
00:39:53.000Just knowing I'm getting vital nutrients sourced from 31 fruits and vegetables every day makes a huge difference in my life.
00:39:59.000Join me and experience the balance of nature difference for yourself.
00:40:02.000For a limited time, all new preferred customers will receive an additional 35% discount and free shipping on your first Balance of Nature order.
00:40:31.000So, you know, we talk about taking action.
00:40:34.000We talk about how these corporate leaders are afraid of the R-word.
00:40:38.000But honestly, being, you know, a person of color, you know, the only racist remarks I hear every day in the media are coming from the white liberal who thinks I can't do math.
00:40:49.000I can't get a freaking driver's license.
00:40:55.000So if we want to take action, how do we wake up these minorities and how do we get our conservative people who are colorblind?
00:41:04.000And I trust them more than any white liberal any day to not be racist.
00:41:08.000How do we team up and fight back against these white liberals with these ideas that we're all illiterate, can't get a driver's license, and we're somehow victims just because I was born a little bit darker?
00:41:18.000So I want you guys to listen to that closely.
00:41:23.000And you being here and talking with this much force, they're very worried.
00:41:27.000And they should be because I'm telling you, if we do our job in 10 years, the Latino community will be a majority conservative community in our country.
00:41:38.000And I have the same sort of hope and optimism in black America.
00:41:44.000Candace Owens, phenomenal, doing a great job with this.
00:41:50.000And she was our communications director for a couple of years.
00:41:53.000So here's the one piece of advice I have for you: you need to get louder and noisier because whether we like it or not, identity politics is what drives a lot of this conversation in our country.
00:42:06.000And you, being a first-generation immigrant, do you speak Spanish or speak Spanish?
00:42:11.000And you served our country because they value arguments from identity over truth.
00:42:21.000Then we need to get you a bigger platform and you need to speak out even more.
00:42:25.000It's hard though because you're going to be called the nasty.
00:42:27.000He will be called nastier stuff than anyone in this room will if you're a white conservative, just to be very blunt, because they'll say you're a race traitor.
00:42:37.000And so what do we do to help break it up?
00:42:40.000We need to be very serious about not allowing the media to convince us that the way things are is the way things will be, that we can make serious movements in that in one direction.
00:43:35.000We have to fix the distribution problem because a lot of the portals of communication in the Hispanic community tend to be very, very far to the left.
00:43:43.000And Telemundo, Univision, just to name a couple.
00:44:24.000So I don't know if you heard recently, but Joe Biden said, and I quote, in a few years, I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party.
00:44:32.000Do you think that's a gaffe or a threat?
00:44:45.000Is there some sort of plan that we don't know about?
00:44:48.000Was this just kind of a typical Joe Biden moment where he's like falling upstairs, the first person ever to fall up the stairs in the history of the country?
00:45:12.000I don't just make fun of people lightly, but when you're taking a meat cleaver to Western civilization, the bets are off when you fall up the stairs and then all of a sudden no one talks about it.
00:45:27.000I mean, look, do I think that there's a plan that they're trying to unfold to silence all of us, intimidate you, and suffocate us, pass HR1, and create a one-party state in this country?
00:46:03.000I think to myself, what an effective lie to have us all of a sudden yield the terrain of good intentions to people that bitterly want to burn America.
00:46:47.000There's a difference between liberals and leftists.
00:46:49.000Happy to build that out for you guys if there's interest in that.
00:46:54.000But the main difference is liberals value free speech, leftists don't.
00:46:57.000Liberals are like Alan Dershowitz, or in that tradition, leftists are like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:47:02.000That's the best kind of juxtaposition I could give there.
00:47:06.000So I don't know, but you guys better take that threat very seriously.
00:47:10.000That there is even, I guess what you understand the significance.
00:47:13.000Could you imagine if Donald Trump gave a press conference and said, oh, yeah, if the Democrat Party, if it even exists?
00:47:20.000There would have been, I kid you not, a front-page New York Times article that said, Donald Trump's trying to mobilize the military against Democrats.
00:48:30.000And I think my question for you is: how can people who are like me, who's fled actual socialism and communism, to start speaking up about our experiences?
00:48:39.000And are there any tips and pointers for how do we start utilizing the platform and start letting our voices be heard?
00:48:45.000So why don't you expand on that for the audience?
00:48:48.000How is what you're seeing here similar to what you saw in communist China?
00:48:53.000So a lot of times in China, actually growing up is really tough for me because there's a lot of conformities going on and they want to shape all of the kids into a really good student who is able to ace every single test.
00:49:05.000And obviously I was not one of those, unfortunately.
00:49:15.000And so far, I'm seeing the same thing for conservatives, too.
00:49:18.000People who are different, people who celebrate individualities are actually getting discriminated against everything else or, you know, what they're believing in.
00:49:25.000And that is one similarity that I am seeing.
00:49:54.000We need to have more people listen to you.
00:49:56.000My biggest frustration in America is the statement: it can't happen here.
00:50:05.000Alexander Soshenitsyn, who's a man that every single person should know, let alone every conservative should know, wrote a book called the Gulag Archipelago.
00:50:15.000And he famously had a quote: he said, the biggest lie fed by communists to Westerners is this idea that it can't happen here.
00:50:22.000Show me a place where it couldn't happen in the 20th century.
00:50:35.000I was just reading this the other night.
00:50:37.000And she had a phenomenal quote that is more timely than ever.
00:50:41.000She said, you know, you're entering soft totalitarianism when you don't know if what you do today could mean the end of your lifestyle or your life or career tomorrow.
00:51:24.000I'll say this: is that when I talk to immigrants that have seen communism and socialism, they'll say one of them, they'll say one thing, which is that Americans won't realize it until they lived it.
00:51:38.000That's something you probably feel to yourself.
00:51:46.000And the second thing, I think it's such an unbelievable disservice for those of us that live in America to not listen to the warnings of the people that almost died under these ideologies.
00:52:00.000And so the question is: what do we actually do about it and how do we get the message out?
00:52:08.000And again, you being here and spreading truth is so important.
00:52:30.000When World War II was raging, Winston Churchill did everything he could.
00:52:35.000The greatest man of the 20th century, by the way, Winston Churchill.
00:52:38.000And every young person should know they're Winston Churchill, and the fact they're removing them from schools is such an unbelievable disservice.
00:52:45.000He wrote 50 books, Saved Western Civilization, twice British Prime Minister, more knowledge of the classics and philosophy than any other person.
00:52:57.000But Winston Churchill famously said, I said this last night at Calvary Chapel, when Pearl Harbor happened, he was sitting with his war cabinet and comes in and his messenger says, Sir, Imperial Japan just bombed the port in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
00:53:14.000And he turns up to his war cabinet and he says, Well, we just won the war.
00:54:01.000And I think that there is going to be a moment, and again, I'm praying for this, when all of a sudden we're going to have this where we say, that's it.
00:54:11.000I think we've gotten close to it in certain moments, but they will push too far.
00:54:17.000And as long as there's gatherings like this of standing room only, of people that are listening and they're sharing information, it can happen very quickly.
00:54:24.000And hold out that hope, everybody, because what they want you to do is they want you not to attend events like this tonight.
00:54:31.000They want you to instead watch, what is that ridiculous show, Bridgington or whatever on Netflix?
00:54:50.000But as soon as there's a response and a rebellion to tyranny, of course, peacefully, because that's who we are, then all of a sudden they're going to lose.
00:54:57.000Do you have a follow-up comment that you want to make?
00:55:07.000And I actually want to point it out that my chapter leader, Raul, actually is an immigrant as well.
00:55:12.000And people like us have stories I want to share.
00:55:14.000But in California, we're always being shut down about the things that we want to bring to the table.
00:55:19.000And I think it's just really tough for all of us to, especially people like us who've seen it firsthand, who's experienced it, and families suffer from it.
00:55:26.000And I just want to ask you one really quick follow-up.
00:55:28.000Like, what is there for us to do in California specifically?
00:55:31.000Because it is so tough on liberal campuses right now, especially for me.
00:55:35.000I've actually been discriminated a lot.
00:55:36.000And people question me if I'm actually an immigrant.
00:55:39.000And like, what is there for us to do to actually be able to take it off in California, a place where socialism is literally growing every single corner?
00:55:47.000Yeah, look, boy, California's got its own problems.
00:55:49.000I'm actually more optimistic about California.
00:55:50.000And again, I'm going to say this not on behalf of Turning Point because this is a political thing.
00:55:54.000The fact that there's a political referendum against Gavin Newsom gives me hope.
00:57:55.000The media organizations out there, I'm not going to name any for respect, that often when they put clips on YouTube and social media, they often have this person destroys, annihilates, et cetera, et cetera.
00:58:10.000Do you think that helps Turning Point and other organizations reach out to those who oppose with opposing views?
00:58:18.000Because they might feel alienated because they feel like they're going to be put on viral and sort of with these, I don't know how to say it, but do you think this sort of aggressive rhetoric of, you know, this person just destroys this young college student who just had a simple question and may be misguided?
00:58:41.000Do you think that helps, you know, I guess all of us come together?
00:59:16.000It's like a winnowing and winnowing pool.
00:59:17.000But I think that's probably a fair point that you make, which is that, you know, what is the intent and the purpose?
00:59:23.000And I think I'd have to look at it from a piece-by-piece type thing, but generally, I'll stand by our strategy, which is if you publicly want to come up and say something really dumb in front of millions of people, then I'm not going to be shy in publicizing that exchange.
00:59:41.000In fact, I'll make the argument it's actually really helpful for people to see how to properly respond to these things and how to be able to debate against it.
00:59:48.000And so, but yeah, I think it's a well-intentioned comment.
00:59:53.000I think it's a strategy that absolutely works because we are in a position right now that we want to see our ideas win.
01:00:01.000And let me tell you why those videos do well.
01:00:03.000Because whether you realize it or not, when you log onto the internet and you search anything political, you're like, all I see is my ideas losing.
01:00:11.000I see my ideas losing on the Washington Post.
01:02:06.000There's a portion of the country that no matter what he does, they will not entertain voting for him.
01:02:10.000So we have to weigh that, you know, that cost and that benefit way too early to tell.
01:02:15.000But I could tell you this: that if we don't fix the way we do elections, if we don't broaden our movement and get better at articulating our ideas, it's kind of irrelevant, right?
01:02:24.000Which is partially one of my main focuses and mission on that.
01:02:27.000And also, we have to fix the tech landscape.
01:02:48.000We have to create our own infrastructure of distribution, or else we're just going to have the same thing happen again, where you have the next president's son who mysteriously drops off a laptop at a computer repair shop with X-rated material that's now on the Chinese internet of stuff that if anyone in this room did, you'd be in a place without bail.
01:03:40.000People say, who do we support all this?
01:03:42.000Just be active in the primary and clear.
01:03:45.000This is actually a really important state for it, obviously.
01:03:48.000Just when they come through here, which by the way, their little whistle-stop tour is going to start a year from January here, maybe even earlier.
01:03:56.000So you just look at them in the eyes and you ask them very clear questions about things that matter to you.
01:04:01.000And if you smell nonsense, call them out on it.
01:04:18.000So my question was just about social media.
01:04:20.000You actually just started talking about it, which is crazy because I was going to ask about that.
01:04:24.000But pretty much my opinion or my question is, what is your opinion on, for example, like Justice Thomas talking about Twitter being a public forum compared to it being a private company?
01:04:36.000I know you were talking about the private company earlier or the private companies and how they're, how, how much of a private company are they if they're being helped by the government and all that stuff.
01:04:44.000So do you think it's better that we go for things like section or 230 and things like that?
01:04:51.000Or is it better to pretty much go and like try to make our own social media platforms privately, even though the other ones are so big, is that even going to work?
01:04:59.000I think it has to be an all of the above strategy.
01:05:02.000And so we have to get them in the courts.
01:05:05.000We have to hopefully get some rulings that will break them up that say it's not good for a country that all search results, which is the ability to go find information, 92% of them is controlled by one company.
01:05:17.000That's not a good thing or a healthy thing for the country.
01:05:19.000And so Justice Thomas just wrote an unbelievable piece.
01:05:24.000It was kind of, I think it was an opinion on a case.
01:05:57.000From a natural rights doctrine perspective, anytime our First Amendment rights are violated, that should bother us, especially by companies that are more powerful than our own governments.
01:06:09.000And these companies are more powerful than our own government.
01:06:12.000And so I'll use the Chicago example, and I've used it before, and it's so funny.
01:06:17.000Clarence Thomas used a very similar example, unrelated in his dissent.
01:06:22.000So from Chicago, if anyone was in South Bend, Indiana, where Pete Buttigedge was a failed mayor, by the way, if you want to see Pothole City, go to South Bend, Indiana.
01:06:30.000I've never seen so many potholes in my life.
01:06:32.000This guy's running the Department of Transportation.
01:07:25.000They could ride a bike, but they don't have a comparable choice.
01:07:28.000So the Supreme Court authored an opinion that if there is not a comparable choice, like another Google or another Twitter or another Facebook, then you're violating the First Amendment rights and the free speech rights or the constitutional rights of your citizenry.
01:07:41.000The Supreme Court's already ruled on this before.
01:07:43.000And so, yeah, as far as what we do, we have to start competitors.
01:07:50.000We have to hopefully change public opinion against them.
01:07:53.000But these companies have way too much power.
01:07:55.000Those of you that follow our podcast, you know, I've been obsessed about this issue for quite some time.
01:08:00.000And it's just a matter of time before we're all kicked off social media and we're governed by a couple tech companies that, quite honestly, hit our country in some sort of corporate fascist environment.
01:08:10.000And so the solution, I'm already starting to see it change.
01:09:12.000You'll also get deep discounts on all MyPillow products, including the Giza Dream Bed Sheets, the MyPillow Mattress Topper, and MyPillow Tile Sets.
01:09:20.000Or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk.
01:09:24.000Just go to mypillow.com, buy a bunch of stuff, and use promo code Kirk.
01:09:27.000That's basically the long and short of it.
01:09:28.000If you want to support Mike Lindell and Charlie Kirk, be comfortable, sleep well, mypillow.com, purchase a bunch of stuff, promo code Kirk.
01:09:49.000So a very big entrepreneur, love free markets, love that whole ideology.
01:09:52.000But it's very concerning when I see some of my peers who are very big advocates for universal pay.
01:09:58.000And it's been concerning four or five years ago when Bernie Sanders was saying theoretical ideas about, oh, we should have universal pay in America.
01:10:05.000And now you have Andrew Yang, who was first place running for the mayor of New York City, advocating for universal pay.
01:10:11.000So if you were in my shoes, what would be your advice to try to reason with my peers for free markets?
01:10:18.000Yeah, look, the argument against free money is a tough one.
01:10:20.000And so you have to, look, just so everyone's clear, do you know how easy my job would be if I just came up and I just said everyone gets free money, you get free weed, free housing, you're debt forgiven.
01:10:32.000And I just walked off stage, like a five-minute speech, right?
01:10:36.000Instead, I have to make arguments about why earned success is important.
01:11:12.000And so you have to teach them that wanting to be free is actually a better way to live, a more meaningful, a way to live a more meaningful life.
01:11:52.000The point is that if you come from a belief, and the even better quote about this, I think, was from Adams, which is that you can only have a republic if you have a moral people in a republic.
01:12:02.000And the church, if you do not have a vibrant church or some religious institution in the country communicating what is right, what is wrong, the moral, correct course of action in a country, especially when it comes to what's the moral case of take against taking free money from the government?
01:12:17.000Well, absent some moral order or authority, you just take the money and it's whatever serves your purposes in that moment.
01:12:23.000And we're going to lose that argument time and time again, absent a strong moral backbone in our country where, no, actually, if a man does not work, he does not eat.
01:12:32.000It's a biblical principle and it's a truthful principle.
01:12:34.000It's a harder teaching and it's tougher to communicate.
01:12:47.000My question is, so during the presidential campaigns, Trump and Republicans criticized Biden by saying that he was going to be soft on China.
01:12:56.000So so far, I just wanted to list out some things that he's done against China and then get your opinion on that.
01:13:01.000So he condemned Uyghur genocide right off the bat, Secretary Blinken did.
01:13:07.000And he's waging a tech war with China right now by reevaluating our supply lines of microchip production so we're not relying on China.
01:13:15.000As of five hours ago, they've raised the idea of boycotting the Olympics in China.
01:13:22.000And he's raised the idea of a conference of democracies to curb Chinese expansion, whether that be military or influential, like what they're doing in neocolonialism in Africa.
01:13:32.000And this isn't something that's different for Biden.
01:13:35.000He has a history of supporting genocide victims.
01:13:38.000So if you take a look at what he's done with the Bosniaks in Bosnia when he supported them in the war or the Albanians in Kosovo, I mean, he has a really strong history of standing with oppressed people.
01:13:49.000So do you think these criticisms now, now that you know all these things that he's doing, do you think they're sort of falling flat, at least with the China thing?
01:14:48.000When Blinken went up to Alaska to meet with China, did he even respond when China made a fool of our country and said we're a bunch of racist bigots according to our own language?
01:15:18.000So let me just ask another couple of questions because has Joe Biden supported military movements in the South China Sea or stood with the people of Taiwan as the Chinese Communist Party has threatened Taiwan to obliterate them off the face of the earth?
01:15:44.000Has Joe Biden explained the now revealed emails that show that he's probably a 10% holder in a Chinese Communist Party company, thanks to Tony Bobulinsky?
01:16:44.000He's caring more about wokeism than military excellence.
01:16:48.000He does nothing in the South China Sea.
01:16:50.000He's not putting any additional tariffs.
01:16:52.000In fact, he's trying to repeal them that Donald Trump put on steel and solar panels for imports into America.
01:16:58.000Joe Biden is doing the bidding of Xi Jinping at every single turn.
01:17:01.000So let me ask you just another couple questions.
01:17:04.000Has Joe Biden, in any way, shape, or form, condemned the Belt and Road Initiative, or has Joe Biden admitted that the virus came from China?
01:17:11.000The Belt and Road Initiative would be covered under that curbing Chinese expansion, which I mentioned earlier.
01:17:16.000I think you're trying to play a very semantic game right now with expansion.
01:17:22.000What you call semantics, I call truth, because language is the way that we communicate values with one another.
01:18:25.000Could you imagine after Pearl Harbor Franklin Dono Roosevelt?
01:18:29.000You know, it's a diplomatic issue that Pearl Harbor was bombed.
01:18:33.000I think it was clear that the Japanese intentionally attacked Pearl Harbor, but whether the Chinese intentionally, which I believe they did, by the way.
01:18:56.000So you said, has he condemned the Chinese aggression against Taiwan?
01:18:59.000And yes, in the town hall, he mentioned that he condemns the Chinese trying to violate the one China or the two China policy with China and Taiwan.
01:19:08.000And then I also wanted to ask you one follow-up question with Trump.
01:19:11.000Trump, in an Axios report, reportedly, allegedly, gave the Chinese a green light for their actions in Hong Kong and the Uyghur genocide in exchange for better leverage in his trade deal, which ultimately flopped, I believe.
01:19:30.000Well, Faurcy, I said, allegedly and reportedly, and Donald Trump was more tough on China than any other president in American history, and he was unafraid to call it the China virus.
01:19:43.000Joe Biden has always been very close to China.
01:19:46.000He said that, quote, China's rise is a good thing for America.
01:19:51.000I'm curious, take as much time as you need, if you have any problem with the president's son flying on Air Force 2 with Chinese bank officials and returning on Air Force 2 with $2 billion in an investment fund.
01:21:17.000I call it very important that he doesn't call it a rival or an enemy.
01:21:22.000You say the Confucius Institutes is something that is yet to be debated, even though Joe Biden has done nothing against it.
01:21:29.000The bigger question I guess I have when it comes to the Chinese issue: do you think Joe Biden is better equipped to handle China than Donald Trump was?
01:22:30.000For the governments of the Gulf states and for the government of Israel, it might have been a good thing, but I don't think it solves any issues with people in the region.
01:22:38.000Was it a good thing that Donald Trump was the first president of both of you and my lifetime to end endless wars and not declare a new war?
01:22:45.000I think the idea of an endless war is something that's pushed by more isolationist groups.
01:22:55.000I don't agree with ending endless wars.
01:22:57.000I think the United States has a duty to the world to act as the quote-unquote global policeman and to stop things like active genocides going on.
01:23:05.000So you're okay with Afghanistan just perpetually happening?
01:24:43.000When you look objectively at how Hunter Biden received cash payments from Chinese state bank oligarchs, the $2 billion, Joe Biden probably owning a 10% of a Chinese Communist Party company based on Tony Bobulinsky, former business partner's own remarks, Joe Biden saying it's a good thing with China gets stronger.
01:25:03.000If you actually cared about holding China accountable, I think a fair reading of the facts, you'll realize that Joe Biden is a wholly owned subsidiary of our greatest enemy, the Chinese Communist Party.
01:25:16.000But I do want to thank you for your boldness in being here tonight, and I appreciated the conversation.
01:25:31.000Do you mind if I add a small point to the diplomatic issue with the Chinese virus?
01:25:36.000He said it's a diplomatic issue, calling it the Chinese virus, but why is left-leaning media, when they found a brand new strain of it from India of the coronavirus, why are they now calling it the Indian coronavirus?
01:25:49.000Why is it okay to do that, but it's not okay to call it the Chinese virus where it originated from?
01:25:55.000So that's my, and they're doing it for multiple different countries.
01:26:00.000They're doing it for everywhere that's got some type of mutation.
01:26:04.000But my question is, as you know, we've just lost our energy independence.
01:26:08.000We've been set back 60 years because Biden decided to close the pipeline.
01:26:13.000And now we're back in the Middle East doing, God knows what, getting oil again when we shouldn't even be there in the first place.
01:26:21.000So one of the world's largest oil reserves was just found offshore in Vietnam.
01:26:28.000What do you think the chances of Biden getting his grubby little fingers in it and intervening and going to Vietnam and trying to do something with that?
01:26:37.000What do you think the chances of that are?
01:26:38.000And what do you think the outcome of that could be?
01:26:44.000I mean, never put it past the neoconservatives who run our foreign policy to try to go declare war in another country.
01:26:51.000And so, yeah, I think that would be a huge mistake.
01:26:54.000But I think this, look, energy independence, what kept us out of wars and actually kept us safe.
01:26:58.000Donald Trump made us energy independent for the first time in American history, where we were exporting more oil than we were importing, which is a national security issue.
01:27:06.000And something we don't talk about enough.
01:27:10.000I can't comment on the Vietnamese issue in particular, but what I can say more than anything else is that the more that we explore our own assets here, the less we have to go explore them abroad.
01:27:21.000And we have been blessed in this country with oil and natural gas so abundant that we can export it to the rest of the world, make a ton of money, employ our own citizens.
01:27:30.000We are now losing voluntarily our own energy independence for some environmental, radical, obscure, undefined agenda.
01:27:37.000And that's a bad thing for the country, bad thing for American workers, bad thing for tax revenue, so on and so forth.
01:27:51.000I love markets, and I know you said you love markets just as me, you know, like the rest of the audience, because capitalism has brought a lot of great things to the world.
01:28:01.000So seeing how the world, you know, after especially the Paris climate agreement, has moved more towards green energy, like as a whole, you know, you had around, I think, 190 countries sign the treaty.
01:28:14.000Obviously, we care about our energy and independence.
01:28:17.000Obviously, we have huge coal and oil and natural gas infrastructure that obviously I don't think anyone with the right mind would dismantle right now.
01:28:26.000But nonetheless, I think that the United States is kind of losing a chance to become competitive in the world by leading with green technology because China is taking advantage of this vacuum.
01:28:39.000I mean, someone just talked about the Belt and Roden Initiative.
01:28:43.000And that's basically what China's doing, is it's disseminating all this technology to all these places.
01:28:48.000And I feel like America should be the one doing that.
01:28:51.000I feel like we should be the one taking the lead in the world, disseminating all this technology, getting these patents, so then we can be competitive and we can be dominant, even more dominant.
01:29:04.000I think you're coming at it from the right place.
01:29:08.000I'd be curious to hear why you think we should be doing the green thing outside of the fact that China's doing it.
01:29:14.000So why should we be doing the green thing?
01:29:16.000Well, there's several key reasons, obviously.
01:29:19.000Depending on what your opinion is on climate change, obviously, if you don't believe in climate change or if you see it kind of in a skeptic way, I'm not going to touch that conversation.
01:29:28.000But I don't think it's undeniable that, like, for example, if you look at like India, right, or if you go to parts of China that have a lot of coal, you see that they're very polluted.
01:29:54.000Yeah, and let me stay away from the climate change thing.
01:29:57.000And so, but you would agree more natural gas is good because it's the most, it's the least pollutant of all fossil fuels by far.
01:30:04.000Well, yeah, natural gas in the interim would be the preferable thing because obviously, you know, I think coal is pretty bad, unfortunately.
01:30:13.000I know that a lot of people in the United States have been coal miners historically, especially like in West Virginia where people really relied on it.
01:30:19.000But as we've seen, the market has been shifting.
01:30:22.000I think I read something that like 90% of coal industry has kind of like was losing its market capitalization.
01:30:29.000So I do believe that natural gas is a good in-between.
01:30:59.000And then a little bit less of that of natural gas.
01:31:01.000Here's the only concern I have with your question.
01:31:05.000We have to ask the question, what's the purpose of our energy plan?
01:31:08.000And it should always be to serve humanity and serve human beings, always.
01:31:11.000And so when we have cheap, affordable, and reliable energy that is able to transport people, power our hospitals, then we should be able to pursue that.
01:31:20.000The environmentalists want to go so far and shut down hydroelectric, something that you guys are very familiar with here because you've got a lot of energy, obviously, from hydroelectric right down the street.
01:31:29.000So I guess we don't need to belabor it or prolong it.
01:31:33.000I was just very curious kind of where you're going after it.
01:31:35.000Here's my biggest problem with the green issue is that there's a lot of unanswered questions.
01:31:40.000Number one, you're not able to power an entire 21st century economy on solar and wind.
01:31:48.000Number two, you got to answer where you're going to do with all the batteries because that's a major issue, especially with these electric power vehicles.
01:31:53.000Number three, natural gas and nuclear are the best solutions to this.
01:31:57.000And you probably agree, but the environmentalists want to destroy those altogether.
01:32:01.000And there's a lot of different reasons for this.
01:32:03.000And I know we're running really short on time, but I think we have to be really careful about this rush to green because actually it could make us less competitive.
01:32:13.000And you have parts of the country that are so wholly dependent on cheap, affordable, and reliable energy.
01:32:22.000I think nuclear, a lot of people are scared of it.
01:32:24.000You know, obviously you see Chernobyl, you see the three-mile accident, but nuclear is actually one of the best ways for us to reach independent, energy independence, like entirely.
01:32:33.000Like it produces like not that many emissions and everything compared to petroleum.
01:32:44.000There's been, I know there's been some government subsidies overall, but I don't maybe it hasn't really been enough.
01:32:49.000And but I think, I mean, if we're talking about cheap, affordable energy, like I've seen, I've seen, I've heard plenty of stories of people who don't have to use a grid anymore because they have solar panels in their house.
01:32:59.000You know, it's a very attractive thing.
01:33:01.000And I think it kind of, it kind of takes away power from the government.
01:33:05.000If anything, it takes power away from a lot of institutions like the pneumatic energy.
01:33:14.000We've been blessed with such unbelievable natural resources and energy that are easy to transport, quite honestly, easy to convert to human flourishing.
01:33:21.000And I think not you, but a lot of people in the green movement, their intention is to try to actually set us backwards through a place where we would not be able to have access to combustible energy.
01:33:29.000But that's a different discussion for a different time.
01:33:31.000So I think that we're low on time, right?
01:33:47.000Help our amazing turning point USA students.
01:33:51.000If you want to listen to us and if you guys want to subscribe to our show, you can do that, the Charlie Kirk show on all of your phones, which would be fun if we could beat Rachel Maddow in the podcast charts.
01:34:00.000That's always a fun thing to do when a whole room decides to get behind it.
01:34:04.000I want to thank you guys for coming tonight and stay engaged, stay involved.
