00:00:08.000Hey, everybody, on this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, you're going to hear one of my most enthusiastic and important speeches I have ever given.
00:00:15.000I gave it a couple days ago at the Wyoming Republican Convention, and I make a very clear argument and call to action for conservatives and Republicans all across the country.
00:00:39.000If you guys want to win a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine, please type in Charlie Kirk, show your podcast provider, hit subscribe, give us a five-star review screenshot, and email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:49.000You'll be in the running to then win a signed copy of the New York Times bestseller, MAGA Doctrine.
00:01:28.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:37.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:10.000So in just the last couple of weeks, we've probably gone back 30 years in cultural digression.
00:03:19.000We are seeing the greatest cancellation of history, the greatest targeting of dissenting voices, the crackdown on free speech, the misrepresentation of American values that we've probably ever seen in history.
00:03:30.000Never before in my experience, at least in my, let's say, analysis of American history, and Dennis Prager, the great Dennis Prager, agrees with me, who we hosted at University of Wyoming, Turning Point USA.
00:03:45.000Never before in American history have we seen people that work at their profession be forced to take a knee because of the color of their skin.
00:03:51.000And if they don't, they might be fired.
00:03:53.000I get hundreds of messages every single day from young people that are being removed from jobs, having to get kicked out of college, kicked out of school, bullied on social media, getting death threats because they support the president, because they say Black Lives Matter, the organization, is doing incredible damage to our country racially and otherwise, that they have incredible insidious aims to divide us, to not actually bring our country together, that it is a racist movement, that it's not about healing any sort of racial wounds we have in our country, instead trying to create new ones.
00:04:21.000And to be perfectly honest with you, now that we are here at a Republican convention and I'm the closing speaker, my goodness, where are the Republicans, everybody?
00:04:35.000It's not all gems and roses out there.
00:04:37.000And I'll tell you, there is a cultural crisis happening right now.
00:04:41.000Right now, tonight, they have voted to rename John Wayne Airport in Orange County because they say he's a racist.
00:04:46.000They're taking down statues of Abraham Lincoln in downtown Boston.
00:04:49.000They're taking down a statue of George Washington and not replacing it in Portland, Oregon.
00:04:53.000They're leading the statue of Vladimir Lenin and Caesar Chavez and all the other interest, let's just say beyond horrific individuals in our country.
00:05:03.000They're teaching our generation that we're racist, bigoted, homophobic, backwards country through and through.
00:05:08.000And to be perfectly honest with you, most of our elected Republicans are talking about, I don't know what they're talking about.
00:05:15.000We're in the midst of one of the most important cultural defining moments where I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this.
00:05:21.000If we do not take a stand now like we did during the Brett Kavanaugh, we will not have Brett Kavanaugh fight.
00:05:26.000We will not have a country in five years.
00:05:30.000This is not about shuffling papers on a committee.
00:05:33.000This is about whether or not we're going to have a country in a couple years.
00:05:36.000Because at the rate that they're at right now, they are going around making people on the color of their skin take a knee for something they didn't do.
00:05:43.000They are going around on the streets of New York with reckless abandon and looting and rioting and burning down the core cultural institutions that we care about so much.
00:05:51.000Removing a statue of Theodore Roosevelt outside of the Museum of Natural History.
00:05:54.000Removing the statue of Christopher Columbus from the state capitol in California that's been there for over 100 years.
00:06:00.000And the lack of backlash and just the fleeting to the hills has been, I think, one of the most cowardest moves I've ever seen in my short experience in the conservative movement.
00:06:32.000Tell me right now why the Sacramento Kings announcer got fired who's in there for 30 years because he said, quote, all lives matter, gets fired from his position.
00:06:40.000Is that a country that you want to live in?
00:06:42.000It is a country when corporate America starts to fund an organization, Black Lives Matter, which again, the statement is, of course, true.
00:06:49.000Black Lives Matter, but all lives matter.
00:06:51.000And no one should lose their job or be kicked out of their profession for saying something that is true.
00:07:10.000They say that anyone who dares get in the way in the pursuit of life, that they somehow are racist.
00:07:15.000Well, I'll tell you what, you know, 400,000 black individuals are terminated in the womb every single year.
00:07:20.000Despite the black community being 14% of the U.S. population, 6% are women, and half of that are infant-bearing age.
00:07:28.0003% of the population is 48% of all the abortions.
00:07:31.000If you see a black woman who is pregnant in downtown New York City, she's more likely going to the abortion clinic than the pregnancy delivery room.
00:07:38.000This is one of the great moral injustices in our country.
00:07:40.000And I was just enlightened today that somehow it was impossible to pass a born-alive bill in the state of Wyoming.
00:07:46.000This is a disgrace that in our state, you cannot get a born-alive bill passed.
00:07:51.000It is an absolute moral outrage that that bill was not signed into law in this state.
00:08:05.000And people say, well, Charlie, why are we losing our country?
00:08:24.000We don't have a country to have a committee in if this continues.
00:08:27.000They're going to keep down ripping our history.
00:08:29.000They're teaching our kids to hate our country.
00:08:30.000You know, my generation, a majority of my generation, thinks that America's a racist, bigoted, homophobic, backwards, colonialist country that never should have existed in the first place.
00:08:38.000How are you supposed to even govern a country like that?
00:08:42.000It's immaterial if you have good judges or high taxes or low taxes.
00:08:46.000I'm saying that's important, but my goodness, this is about the soul of our country, isn't it?
00:08:51.000This is about whether or not our kids are going to love America again.
00:08:54.000And so I encourage, this is a deeper and broader.
00:08:58.000I want to explore this tonight of what we can do.
00:09:00.000We're going to do that together and we're going to come to some very serious and specific and concrete action steps because I'm going to get you revved up and then I'm going to tell you exactly what to do because I'm not just going to get you revved up and then walk off stage and you're like, well, I got really angry and mad and we clapped and complained a lot.
00:09:14.000But that young kid who we might never see again, but he talks really fast, I don't know what the heck I'm going to do.
00:09:27.000And so the first thing is this: is that if the most important thing in your life is losing re-election, then you shouldn't have gotten in politics in the first place.
00:09:38.000The pursuit of truth is the most important thing any human being can do.
00:09:42.000Standing for principle, clarity, conviction, and courage.
00:09:45.000And my goodness, this is a beautiful state.
00:10:42.000I mean, that's like twice the size of the biggest Joe Biden rally that we have to date, right?
00:10:46.000I mean, it's an extraordinary amount of people.
00:10:49.000And of course, they discover, because they brought in a small platoon to go investigate it, that it was just a garage door opener and it wasn't a noose and all this.
00:10:56.000And I asked myself, where in God's green earth were the 15 FBI agents that were defending our monuments from being destroyed in our American cities?
00:11:04.000Where were the 15 FBI agents that were going to go arrest Antifa from causing domestic terrorism in our country?
00:11:11.000And the answer is this, is that the priorities right now are about, and I've done a lot of thinking about this, and I've spent a lot of time with these people in their offices for the last couple of years.
00:11:21.000And I can say this with no reservation.
00:11:22.000It comes down to a lot of Republicans are afraid that you're going to be called mean names, that they're going to call you things that are untrue.
00:12:51.000We're already divided and it's very, very simple, you love the country or you don't love the country, and that, by The way, i'm happy to live in those dividing loans.
00:13:02.000It's, either you're grateful to live in America or you're ungrateful that you live in America, and if that means that you're dividing the country well, maybe that's a division that needs to happen.
00:13:11.000And this whole thing is like, well Charlie, we just need to come together as a country.
00:13:15.000How about this, if we have a country right now that American flag is going to be kneeled by overpaid spoiled, brat athletes that don't know what the hell they're talking about, excuse my language.
00:13:29.000I mean, they are going to be kneeling this upcoming season J Watt Baker Mayfield, these black athletes that have it unbelievably well thanks to the opportunities afforded them in this country they're going to be kneeling saying that America's a racist bigot, homophobic country.
00:14:15.000Every single time they go on tv, every single time that they say that America is backwards and racist and awful, we say no, we're the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:14:24.000We're a generous country, we're a benevolent country, we're a creative country, we're a forward-thinking country.
00:14:28.000We do not give an inch on this, you know.
00:14:30.000They say oh, we're gonna defund the police.
00:15:48.000And those of us that are Christians know that the ultimate truth is ultimate victory.
00:15:52.000But where, theologically or religiously or psychologically, do you think that you can just think truth is going to win if you don't speak the truth?
00:16:00.000If you don't fight for the truth, if you're not willing to sacrifice for the truth, if you're not willing to surrender for the truth, if you're not willing to put everything on the line for the truth, if somehow you could just, oh yeah, we're just going to float it out there.
00:16:12.000And so now what we have now is an unbelievably dangerous moment in our country where my generation, a generation that basically has given, they've been given everything you could possibly imagine.
00:16:22.000They don't have to worry about housing or food or medicine.
00:16:25.000Generally, of course, there's extenuating circumstances, but they live in the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:16:30.000And we threw them mostly into government schools.
00:16:32.000And they learned American history from a villainist lens.
00:16:36.000That everything about our country is dark.
00:16:38.000That Jefferson and Washington and Franklin and the founders of our country, the brilliance that they had, that they were racist and backwards and slave owners that hated other people.
00:16:46.000And this is perfectly articulated in the New York Times 1619 project.
00:17:15.000And so this idea is now widespread and we just accept it as and some leaders of conservative organizations that you have probably sent money to by the way they are now publishing that America is 400 years old.
00:18:47.000We did not create the Western world to just allow these overly privileged, hyper-entitled, self-righteous, sanctimonious socialists to destroy the country from all the generations that sacrificed everything before us.
00:19:02.000All of them, including from this great state.
00:19:06.000So let's talk about what else is happening here in this country right now.
00:19:09.000So my big focus is I visit college campuses all across the country.
00:19:13.000I'm here in my personal capacity, by the way.
00:19:15.000I do run a 501c3 nonprofit, Turning Point USA.
00:19:34.000What's happening in higher education is one of the greatest threats to America, make no mistake.
00:19:38.000Colleges and universities, including some in this state, pose the greatest threat to the future of America that I could possibly articulate.
00:19:47.000We have a generation of children that are, they're borrowing money they do not have to study things that don't matter to go find jobs that don't exist.
00:19:55.000And what they do study is why there should be no, there is no God.
00:20:37.000It seems as if our government decides not to go that extra step for whatever reason to hold these insurrectionist terrorists in our country accountable for the damage that they're doing.
00:20:45.000Oh, because they're protesting fascism.
00:20:47.000Like, oh, yeah, okay, first of all, they are the fascists.
00:20:49.000They're the ones that want to wear the masks.
00:20:51.000They're the ones that want to destroy our cities.
00:20:52.000They're the ones that are planting bombs in all of our urban centers.
00:20:56.000And so all of this originates in our university campuses, almost all of it.
00:21:00.000These bad ideas have been allowed to spread endlessly to generations of young people, to young people that are going into debt to learn from, yes, the established professor.
00:21:10.000In the University of California system, for example, if you say, quote, there is only one race, the human race, that is considered to be hate speech.
00:21:16.000You are not allowed to say that in the University of California system.
00:21:18.000You're not allowed to fly a flag at the University of California, Irvine.
00:21:39.000Because the left knows that the core ideas, the American Trinity, as Dennis Prager would say, e pluribus unum, in God we trust, and liberty.
00:21:46.000That is what binds us together as a people and makes us actually very decent.
00:21:53.000The fact that we have been able to bring in immigrants from all across the world, the fact that we've been able to have so many people that speaks different languages, it's unbelievable.
00:21:59.000We have been able to make this experiment work.
00:22:01.000And here's people say, well, Charlie, don't you know how racist we are?
00:22:04.000If we are so racist, why did 2 million people from Africa come here legally since the 1980s?
00:24:22.000You have CEOs that have to step down in disgrace because they say all lives matter or because they don't have preferences to go hire more black people than white people, which is incredibly racist in and of itself.
00:24:32.000This is just judging people on the color of their skin.
00:24:35.000And so then in every single college across the country, they say, well, it's because we live in a system that has white privilege.
00:24:42.000And this is in every single major school system across the country.
00:24:45.000I don't know if it's in Wyoming or not.
00:24:48.000So no piece of turf is left untouched by the left.
00:24:52.000Do you guys notice that the left is always the one that is taking over institutions, that we're almost the ones that's never taking over institutions?
00:24:58.000Do you guys notice that we're always the one that's like, well, we lost Hollywood, we lost the colleges, we're losing the churches, we're losing that.
00:25:04.000Like, what's one thing that we've advanced positively, except a couple political stuff, which of course is only temporary?
00:25:09.000It's because the left has been so focused on multi-generational, multi-decade cultural takeover.
00:25:14.000We'll talk about how to fix that in a second.
00:25:15.000This lie of white privilege must be defeated immediately.
00:25:19.000And I speak out against this so aggressively to great personal cost because if you dare say something that is true and assertively and you're not the right skin color, they come after you.
00:25:28.000So I had the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, all these people coming after me.
00:25:31.000They say, well, Charlie, you're a white Christian male.
00:25:40.000And it's truth is truth, regardless of the person who is saying it.
00:25:46.000Something is true regardless of the skin color of the person that is communicating it.
00:25:50.000So when I say very simply that we should not be focusing on the color of people's skin on the content of their character, that is true.
00:25:58.000When I say that, show me very specifically how on earth this is, we have white privilege in America when the richest individuals in America are Indian Americans, Taiwanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, and Korean Americans.
00:26:47.000Do so forcefully, and here's a great way to do it.
00:26:49.000A black child that is raised by a mother and a father is far more likely to succeed than even a white child that is raised by a single mother.
00:27:41.000If they get lucky, they'll get into a school system.
00:27:43.000Oh, by the way, run by the corrupt Democrat cartel teacher unions.
00:27:48.000You go to Baltimore, Maryland, 13 schools that are almost all black kids.
00:27:51.000You can't find one kid that reads at grade level in the fifth grade or does math at grade level.
00:27:56.000This is a civil rights issue of our time.
00:27:59.000And so maybe the issue isn't that there is institutional racism.
00:28:02.000Maybe it's because we removed fathers from the home and we allowed the teacher unions and the cartels to run roughshod over our entire country and our government school system.
00:28:11.000Maybe that would be part of the problem in our country.
00:28:13.000However, that kind of nuance and that kind of detail is not always articulated by the people that we need to be.
00:28:20.000So here's one thing I do want to mention.
00:28:22.000We will get to some questions and I want to go deeper into 2020 as well.
00:28:28.000Higher education is a huge issue, as I mentioned.
00:28:31.000And so I encourage all of you that have young people to think very carefully before you send a kid to go to college.
00:28:36.000If you send a kid to go to four-year college, be prepared to play Russian roulette with their values.
00:29:02.000I've spoken on more college campuses than any other person on the conservative circuit in the last couple years.
00:29:06.000And I could tell you, the lack of wisdom, knowledge, worldliness, and tolerance that is being stuffed down the next generation's throat or lack of thinking is absolutely detrimental to the future of America.
00:29:18.000And so you should be asking high school seniors, hey, why are you going to college?
00:29:24.000Ask them the reason that they're going to college.
00:29:26.000Don't act as if there's an expectation to send them to school.
00:29:29.000We need more plumbers, welders, HVAC individuals.
00:29:32.000We need more police officers, people that take gap years, entrepreneurs, military service members, tradespeople, carpenters, you name it.
00:29:39.000We need more people that work with their hands and less people that are able to recite 16th-century lesbian poetry and how awful America is.
00:29:51.000And college, college, and I never went to college, and I admit it, which is the great irony of the entire thing.
00:29:57.000I run a college organization because I didn't go to college.
00:30:25.000You can watch lectures at things they'll never teach you for $80,000, $90,000 in debt that it takes you to go.
00:30:30.000And so what we've done is we've created this incredible, dangerous cultural expectancy that if you do not go to college, you somehow are less intelligent.
00:30:38.000I've spent time around people that have doctorates from Ivy League schools and people, and I've debated all of them.
00:30:43.000I could tell you right now, there is far more wisdom of somebody that works in an oil well in Wyoming or a plumber in Gillette or a carpenter in Jackson Hole than any of the people that with these degrees and doctorates from Yale and Stanford by a long shot.
00:31:00.000In fact, the reason there is no wisdom in these schools is goes back to an old Hebrew saying, no God, no wisdom.
00:31:07.000They have no God, so they have no wisdom in any of these schools.
00:31:10.000They have these people that are constantly trying to outdo themselves into a search for nothingness.
00:31:16.000They say that there's 127 genders at Brown.
00:31:19.000If you didn't know that, there's over 127 genders.
00:31:21.000They say that the Bible is an outdated ancient document that should be completely removed from our schools.
00:32:25.000Number one, we need to have a massive movement right now to make sure that anyone that graduated from any college across the country, unless it's Hillsdale or Liberty or a conservative school, do not give your alma mater another nickel of your money.
00:33:45.000And so, and so more broadly, here's two other things, and we can get to some questions.
00:33:50.000I do want to make sure we talk about what else is happening.
00:33:55.000People say, well, Charlie, what can I do locally?
00:33:57.000Every single person in this room right now, the Wyoming Republican Party, should know every single member of your school board, and you should run for school board yourself.
00:35:01.000And I spent about an hour and a half yesterday, late at night, going through your trends, going through voter registration numbers, going through voting records.
00:35:09.000You guys are six years from making this a blue state.
00:35:23.000I look at outward migration trends, which are only going to accelerate because people are coming in from other states because they've screwed up the rest of the country.
00:35:29.000The state's very attractive because of a 0% income tax.
00:35:33.000Liberals are coming here quickly and they're teaching your kids to hate the country too.
00:35:37.000And so if you're not serious, if we don't get serious about this very quickly, you know, a decade from now, I'll be invited to the Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner or something and be like, yeah, the Democrat governor, and my goodness, will that be a sad day.
00:35:48.000If Wyoming turns, and if you don't think it's possible, just look at other states around you.
00:36:04.000If there's one thing you take away from this, it's not exactly the most enlightening thing to remember, but it's the left destroys everything it touches.
00:36:10.000They take something over, they move to the next thing.
00:36:11.000They take something over, they'll destroy everything.
00:36:13.000They destroyed football, they destroy music, they destroy fine art.
00:36:17.000The left is a relentless force of destruction.
00:36:20.000And they're coming for Wyoming if they're not already here.
00:36:23.000And they're going to try to infiltrate your party.
00:36:25.000They're going to try to infiltrate your political class.
00:36:27.000They're going to try to infiltrate things that you care about, infiltrate your churches.
00:36:30.000And I hope that's a wake-up call for all of you because I used to come to many states that are now blue states that were once red states that eight years ago I wouldn't have dreamed.
00:36:43.000And the reason being, number one, is Republicans refused to fight and we elected Democrats that call themselves Republicans.
00:36:47.000Number two, that we just completely vacated the entire cultural landscape.
00:36:52.000So you're probably six years from losing this state if you don't actually elect and fight on every single term, every single front.
00:36:58.000So I want to talk about the churches too, because I spoke at a church this afternoon, an amazing church, Family Life Church, Family Life Church, something like that.
00:37:05.000I think that was a great church, terrific church.
00:37:16.000It's the most important thing in my life, and I contest for Christianity on college campuses, in the public square, and social media.
00:37:21.000But so many pastors have come out against me and denounced me and say that, well, we as Christians can't get involved in politics.
00:37:28.000Christians can't get involved in politics, which is just so amazing to me that I must have missed that in the gospel about not getting involved in politics.
00:37:36.000In fact, I remember the commission is go make disciples of all nations, which in the original translation is every corner of everything in life is you should be spreading the gospel and the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
00:37:46.000The most important thing you could do in your life is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
00:37:50.000The second most important thing is making sure you could do the first thing.
00:37:54.000And that is now somehow a controversial position.
00:37:57.000They're taking down statues of Jesus Christ, by the way.
00:37:59.000The Black Lives Matter radicals came out the other day that say they want to take down statues of Jesus Christ.
00:38:06.000Do you want to know who the biggest points of endorsement and activism for a lot of this is?
00:38:09.000People that call themselves Christians.
00:38:11.000Mega church pastors have come out with Black Lives Matter t-shirts who, you know, they are pro-sex work, abolish prisons, abolish police, destroy the Western prescribed nuclear family.
00:38:20.000Must have missed that in Matthew 5, the whole pro-sex work thing.
00:38:23.000But a lot of these pastors are just coming out and they're saying, yeah, you know, we support this and our congregants are going to get behind this.
00:38:29.000And now, one of the only reasons why America has been resistant to socialist and Marxist takeovers is because of the church.
00:38:38.000One of the reasons we've always had a firewall is because the church has prevented it from happening for so many years.
00:38:44.000In fact, the church is the driving force for Marxist social change throughout the country.
00:38:49.000And so I highly encourage you, if your pastor is not speaking out boldly and biblically against the hate group that is Black Lives Matter, if they are not speaking out boldly and biblically against the lies of white privilege, if they are not telling the congregation that now is the time not to go silent and that say this will pass, now's the time to stand and fight, please go find another church.
00:39:11.000Because now is not the time to just abdicate all of our responsibility and our authority.
00:39:17.000And so here's what you can concretely do.
00:39:20.000People say, well, Charlie, what can I give to?
00:39:26.000When you do your year-end budgeting, give more money to political or social causes than you spend on coffee every single year.
00:42:09.000I mean, and I'm going to tell you something awfully depressing because it's very important for you to hear this.
00:42:13.000This guy is the most confused, corrupt candidate ever to run for the history of the presidency, most corrupt vice president in American history.
00:42:19.000Sold us out to China, sold us out to Ukraine for his son's benefit and his son's interest.
00:42:24.000He confuses his wife with his sister, doesn't know what state he's in, doesn't know what president he served for, calls people that wants to vote for him, lying dogface pony soldiers.
00:42:32.000And according to him, 150 million people died of gun deaths last year, and 120 million people have died of COVID-19.
00:42:38.000The guy has serious mental cognitive problems, right?
00:43:21.000This is a very sincere conversation between a thoughtful voter who watches the news, someone who I consider to actually be a more than informed person.
00:43:30.000And I said, you've seen nothing about Biden's decline?
00:43:33.000She says, I think he's speaking pretty nice, actually.
00:43:38.000I said, have you ever seen a full speech?
00:43:39.000She's like, well, no, but I'll see you like 20-second snippets on the news.
00:43:44.000If you think that we're just going to win this thing, because of that, I mean, most of the country doesn't even know what we know that is so obvious to us.
00:43:53.000And we live in a mass propaganda war right now where the news, the activist news media is so unbelievably determined to destroy this country, they're going to try to put a corrupt, borderline, senile individual into the White House without ever trying to have him campaign.
00:44:08.000So Donald Trump right now is, the polling reflects that he's not doing as well.
00:44:14.000I think the polling is pretty misleading.
00:44:17.000I think there is some truth to that, though.
00:44:19.000I think that he probably has taken a hit.
00:44:22.000I don't think he's down as much as the polls say.
00:44:24.000But I think it's probably fair to say he's tied, if not a little bit down, in some of those states.
00:44:28.000And I think that sort of humility is actually needed.
00:44:31.000I don't think there's actually any utility in us saying he's going to win.
00:44:35.000He's going to win a 50-state landslide.
00:44:36.000Like, I don't, there's people that do that.
00:44:38.000I just, I don't think that's actually helpful.
00:44:40.000I don't think that's actually going to make him elected to a second term.
00:44:44.000So we're very lucky because we have an incredible president who's fought for us at every single turn, fought for our country, decided to just sacrifice everything for the betterment of everything we care about.
00:44:56.000And I believe he's going to have a bounce back.
00:45:34.000But what's really sobering, and we have to recognize this, is because of these lockdowns and because of the virus, he almost has to not run as an incumbent.
00:45:42.000He has to rerun for the presidency altogether.
00:45:45.000And I think that's a very hard thing to admit.
00:45:48.000But unfortunately, a lot of his landmark economic accomplishments have been totally disappeared.
00:46:01.000And I think he's going to be able to do that.
00:46:02.000And thankfully, once a campaign is eventually going to emerge, when it's Joe Biden versus Donald Trump, I think he's going to, I can't even see a scenario where that campaign exists and swing voters in the states that matter are going to be able to make that informed decision.
00:46:18.000And If it does, then we've got a lot more structural problems than Trump versus Biden if we elect Biden and that campaign actually happens.
00:46:26.000But I want to say this, that Donald Trump has done so much for our country.
00:46:32.000And I have to go around, we should applaud that, by the way.
00:46:58.000And the president's endorsed it multiple times.
00:47:00.000And I make the argument that Donald Trump was actually a 40-year reckoning, a throbbing middle finger against the ruling class, that it was this repulsion that all of us have for stodgy politicians, that we actually enjoyed the offhand remarks.
00:47:16.000We enjoyed someone that wasn't like the rest of them.
00:47:18.000That almost from a very symbolic perspective, we wanted someone that was a little rough around the edges.
00:47:24.000In fact, we wanted someone that was going to be the bodyguard of America, right?
00:47:28.000Like we wanted someone that was going to be kind of the bouncer outside of the club, right?
00:47:32.000That was going to look the enemy in the eye and say, you're going to touch the American people.
00:47:36.000You got to go through me first, right?
00:47:37.000We wanted the street fighter from Brooklyn to be like, you know what, American left?0.64
00:48:58.000And again, what I love about this part of the country should know, take responsibility for your life.
00:49:04.000Like if you're a rancher and you own property and you're 45 minutes off the grid and you get in a little bit of trouble, that's self-reliance and you got to know how to take care of yourself and your family's going to take care of you.
00:49:16.000And at the absolute worst case scenario, you're going to call in a helicopter.
00:49:19.000But this kind of spirit of taking responsibility and freedom is built into this part of the world.
00:49:24.000And this idea that that wasn't translated into the public policy of the lockdown was just amazing to me.
00:49:29.000It was like, your whole state was built around the idea of taking care of yourself in less than desirable circumstances.
00:49:37.000It's like your whole, I mean, it's way more dangerous to be, let's just say, facilitating a 50,000 anchor ranch in negative 30-degree weather than getting COVID-19.
00:49:48.000I'm sorry, like, that's just, like, it's way more dangerous.
00:49:53.000And you guys do it, and you do it well, and that's the fabric of your state.
00:49:58.000And so let's just recognize, let's never do that again, right?
00:50:01.000Maybe you protect the nursing homes and maybe use shelter in place certain areas.
00:50:05.000Maybe you put forth very firm guidelines for certain people.
00:50:08.000And then you say something that the people were waiting for, take care of yourself because you have your own ability to make decisions.
00:52:40.000I mean, built Trump Tower by the age of 31 or 32, rebuilt Woman Rink, rebuilt the convention center at age 28, renovated Hotel Commodore in Midtown Manhattan.
00:52:54.000They changed into the Grand Hyatt, always fighting the establishment, fighting the conventional orthodoxy, trying to be an innovator, putting tough problems on his shoulders, not always succeeding, but recalibrating and innovating, bought a football team.
00:53:06.000I don't know if any of you know that, sued the NFL and almost won.
00:53:09.000And by the way, they call him a racist.
00:53:10.000Herschel Walker was like babysitting Donald Trump Jr. when he was growing up.
00:53:34.000He's glorified in the black community.
00:53:36.000They gave him like the Black Hero of the Year award in year 2007.
00:53:40.000And the moment he decides to run as a Republican, they use, oh, he's the worst person in the world because he wants to secure our country.
00:53:45.000I mean, and so, but the one thing that I know about this guy, and I've gotten to know him and I've spent time with him, is, and I think you all see this, is that there's a relentlessness, there's a perseverance to him.
00:53:57.000And with whatever 100 days left we have to the election and all that, the one guy that you want in this moment in time, after we've locked down, after the joblessness, after all this nonsense of the virus, the one human being that could still win election after being re-election, after being impeached, after being spied on, the Mueller probe, which was a total hoax, and Republicans voting for his impeachment, and every former president that's alive doesn't support him.
00:54:20.000If there's one guy that can do it, it's Donald Trump.
00:54:22.000Let me tell you, if there's one guy that can rise above all of them, it's Donald Trump.
00:55:48.000I've been trying for about a month now on Facebook to just call out when I see a lie that's obviously a lie or just a falsehood that they try to disguise as the truth or like they use anecdotal evidence and you try to show them percentages and stats and they're very they have a lot of cognitive dissonance and they don't listen to arguments.
00:56:08.000How can you get past that and try to just like get them to recognize the truth?
00:56:12.000Yeah, it's a very, it's a great point.
00:56:14.000Thank you, by the way, for being here.
00:56:16.000Anyone ever feel like you have trouble communicating with a leftist or a liberal?
00:56:32.000You'd be amazed at how many people I've seen that have been pathological leftists and one sentence of truth can diffuse them immediately into a pursuit of what is right and good and honest in the world.
00:56:41.000And so don't grow in despair and keep holding the line and calling out the nonsense as you see it.
00:57:43.000And because our generation is the one that's getting the blunt of all this, we're the ones getting canceled.
00:57:49.000We're the ones getting kicked out of school.
00:57:50.000We're the ones that are having reporters show up and literally hunt us in the middle of the night.
00:57:55.000We're the ones that have death threats put against us and our families.
00:57:58.000We're the ones that have to get under police protection.
00:58:01.000And these are 15 and 16-year-old kids that are just trying to support their president.
00:58:05.000The turning point USA leaders are the ones that have had their dormitories firebombed, that have been punched in the face on the campus of UC Berkeley, that have had bear spray at their Turning Point USA chapter meetings with 16 of our members having to be hospitalized.
00:58:17.000None of that stuff makes national news, by the way.
00:59:39.000But we do need to go to these other places.
00:59:42.000And I've heard Marty say it, and Corey, too, that we're not really a place where we're going to see Trump or any of the campaign much because he doesn't need to be here.
00:59:52.000But we are going to need to go to other places.
00:59:54.000Are there resources and trainings that we can get involved with and learn about so we can maybe take a van with several people and go door to door in Phoenix or something like that?
01:00:37.000I legally can't be because I run an outside group.
01:00:39.000But I'm sure if you guys reach out to your party through your committee, men and women, they have those resources and they can help you do that.
01:00:47.000Because again, if you're able to persuade 5, 10, 15 people in Maricopa County in Arizona or in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it could help save the future of the Republic.
01:02:00.000And I encourage all of you to politely and compassionately, but also directly and unapologetically, communicate, be like, you guys work for us.
01:02:10.000It says very clearly, we the people, the sovereign in this country is everyone in this room.
01:02:16.000And so look, I'm not going to get into any specifics of this state or any other states.
01:02:19.000You guys can make your own conclusions.
01:02:21.000And I've intentionally not said any names tonight because that is not my style.
01:02:24.000And you guys can fill in the blanks there.
01:02:26.000Okay, that's what you guys, you guys are very smart, and I trust all of you to do that.
01:02:30.000But in other states, the states that I reside in or where I come from, I can tell you that I am very clear with elected officials where I stand and where they don't stand.
01:02:43.000And I could tell you, I do have a big platform, so it's not completely and totally applicable.
01:02:49.000But I basically go into those interactions being like, I don't really care if they ever get back to me or if they like me or not.
01:02:56.000Like, I'm just going to tell the truth.
01:02:57.000And so I know that's a hard thing for some people to hear, but I can't convey to you the sense of urgency right now that is needed for us to hold the line.
01:03:07.000And I think you all agree with that, that if there ever was a time to fight, it is this moment.
01:03:12.000And so I implore all of you to do that.
01:03:55.000Like, I get the impression when I hear from our elected officials, like how good things are going.
01:04:01.000And I'm like, we're fighting for every inch right now.
01:04:05.000And maybe things are great in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Maybe things are really wonderful in the fruited plains of the lobbyist class.
01:04:15.000But that's, I don't think anyone here feels like we're having our country's best chapter right now.
01:04:28.000Like, that, I, I just, I don't live in that world, so I don't see it that way.
01:04:35.000But there are worse things that can happen besides, like, you need to just surrender that maybe you might lose re-election if you're going to fight for what is right.
01:05:49.000I really appreciate you speaking about religion and its point in your life.
01:05:56.000As I've said to several people, one of the biggest lies that was ever perpetrated upon the American people is that in polite society, we don't talk about religion or politics.
01:06:08.000And one of the biggest differences between today and the founding of our country was then whenever people came together, whether it be at the village square or the pastors from the pulpit, is they talked about the current events, our politics of the day, and that's how we became a country.
01:06:50.000And it needs to happen in every single denomination of Christianity and Catholicism and Protestantism and you name it because I think that a revival saying that this is our country, we need to have civil governance again, I think is so extraordinarily important because right now we have this disconnect and it's just so another incredibly pernicious lie.
01:07:25.000The only thing that's there is that you can't have a state-run religion.
01:07:27.000But this idea that the Constitution is not around natural rights, in order to have natural rights, you have a natural rights giver, which is the Almighty.
01:07:35.000The idea that we do not recognize the sovereign Almighty God, and it's in our birth certificate.
01:07:40.000Just look at our birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence.
01:07:44.000It could not be more simple that our country was founded by a moral people that were reckoning for this idea of liberty.
01:07:51.000And it took so long post-Christ for people to actually be like, wow, we can organize a government around every individual having dignity.
01:07:59.000Now, mind you, we did not fulfill that until completely post-Civil War and even more so after that.
01:08:05.000But the inspiration resulted in action when Vermont went above and beyond and they abolished slavery in the year 1777.
01:08:13.000We have such an amazing, beautiful, rich history as our country.
01:08:16.000I mean, on the Liberty Bell was a verse from Leviticus.
01:08:19.000I mean, all throughout the founding of our country was symbology and metaphors and direct references to the greatest book ever to exist in the history of the world.
01:08:30.000And so, and this is just to give an idea of like how little I care about what the media says about me.
01:08:34.000And I just, I love saying this because this one really irritates them.
01:08:38.000Anywhere I speak, I say every Republican running for office should advocate that if a classroom does not teach the Bible, they should lose all federal funding.
01:08:47.000By the way, that should be a core position.
01:08:49.000And so then, so then this is a very interesting thing because then people say, well, Charlie, separation church and state already went through that.
01:09:10.000Like, you can't just act as if it's not there because I believe we believe people who read the word will eventually be led towards salvation, right?
01:09:17.000Just acting as if our schools can just systematically remove it.
01:09:21.000You have incredible history in this book.
01:09:22.000The nation of Israel was founded and the temple was destroyed once, if not twice.
01:09:26.000You have Roman occupation, not to mention the most important person ever to exist in the history of the world is in that book, Jesus Christ, whether you believe he's a savior of the world like I do, or just, you know, kind of a radical revolutionary that was killed.
01:09:37.000Of course, that's a wrong interpretation of it.
01:09:39.000That doesn't mean you shouldn't teach the book.
01:10:02.000And there's a revival happening in our country where people are starting to respect not necessarily, they're getting to the divinity of the book, but they're at least respecting the improbability of its existence, right?
01:10:16.000That the fact that this is just not a mistake that this book was put together, it's every answer a human being could possibly want.
01:10:22.000It's the stories that built Western society.
01:10:45.000Yet that's the book that we don't have in the schools that our taxpayer dollars are funding.
01:10:50.000We are doing a moral disservice to every child across the country that has never been able to learn the beauty and the depth of the greatest book ever to exist in the history of the world.
01:10:58.000And they dare to teach the Quran all across the country and not teach the Bible.
01:11:03.000This is happening all across the country.
01:11:05.000And so this should be a primary issue.
01:11:08.000And I'm telling you, it's a winning issue.
01:11:09.000Even in Democrat areas, it comes across at first, they're like, oh, they want to push religion.
01:11:13.000But then you explain it and you say, no, no, no, this is history too.
01:11:53.000I moved here a few years ago from Connecticut, and I worked for the NRA.
01:11:57.000So I'm used to fighting Democrats and used to having a target on my back.
01:12:01.000One of the problems in this state is that as a state that's going to vote 70 to 75% Republican, we fight with each other more than we do Democrats.
01:12:14.000What would be your, and we've got 400 people in this room that are never going to agree on everything.
01:12:20.000What would be your advice on, as Republicans, how we can get along and help support the Republican Party as a whole and not diminish our influence?
01:12:32.000And I think that's a very interesting thing.
01:12:34.000What ends up happening in these, in a state like Wyoming, and there's very few states like this, but I'm very familiar with it, is when you have such one-party rule, the other party starts to infiltrate the singular parties, right?
01:13:22.000And so I think that's a really important question.
01:13:24.000And I don't love infighting, but if there's only a one-party state, it's really not infighting.
01:13:29.000So I think that's a really important thing because you're actually just arguing, you're not arguing over titles because you're all under the same title, right?
01:13:35.000So at that point, there's no infighting.
01:13:37.000Like, for example, if this was Ohio and like every single vote mat, you know what I'm saying?
01:13:42.000It was a question whether or not this was going to be a Republican or Democrat state.
01:13:52.000Like, if there's any state to be able to be very clear and convicted on what it means to be a constitutional Christian conservative, I think that this should be the state that does that.
01:15:57.000It's like there's a Republican, these are just terms to them.
01:16:01.000Like it's just a different jersey, right?
01:16:02.000It's like getting traded to a different football team.
01:16:04.000To them, it's not, it doesn't mean anything to them.
01:16:06.000It's just like they're going to advocate for the exact same thing under a different jersey.
01:16:10.000And so I can't use any material examples here.
01:16:12.000I'm sure my friend Bo can give you chapter and verse of what happens there.
01:16:16.000But I know this because I've spent plenty of time in South Dakota and Nebraska and North Dakota, states that have a similar type of composition and makeup.
01:16:23.000And so what Democrats just like, yeah, I'll just put on the Republican jersey, like why not?
01:16:37.000Josh Wheeler, I want to call back to something that you said earlier today on the fact of the Republican Party and how the Democrats are scheming and scheming and have been scheming.
01:16:51.000What is your thoughts on the fact that the whole time that our last president, Obama, was in office, the Republicans stayed silent for fear of being called racist?
01:17:04.000Do you think that's something that actually has harmed our party for the foreseeable future to where we're not going to be able to do anything now without that stigmata?
01:17:18.000Think that there's a, look, I want to give more credit to the conservatives than I probably have tonight, and then I'm going to qualify it, which is conservatives are generally really decent people.
01:17:29.000Like, we, we're actually the most important thing in our life is not politics, and it shouldn't necessarily be because we're Christians.
01:17:38.000So, the most important thing, of course, is our relationship.
01:17:40.000Not all of us are Christians, but tonight I'm getting the idea that this is mostly a Christian audience.
01:17:44.000But at least we don't believe in nothingness.
01:17:49.000So, for us, if we had to rank our hierarchy and we could be like, if I never have to get involved again, and I knew that the government would stay out of my life and they'd balance the budget and not declare silly foreign wars and represent our interests and not have ridiculous immigration policies, and I could build a family and go to church, a lot of conservatives would take that deal because this is not a part of our identity.
01:18:09.000Like, we get involved because we love those other things.
01:18:59.000And I want to give, I'm going to give more, let me just say, more, what's the right word?
01:19:05.000I'm going to give more rope, if you will.
01:19:07.000I'm going to give them more space than probably I did earlier, which is like a lot of conservatives generally get into this because they're so like wonky on tax policy and stuff and all this.
01:19:16.000And they don't realize that there's like an undergirding culture war that will determine the future of Western society, right?
01:19:22.000And all of a sudden, when they get thrown into that, it's like, I did not sign up for this.
01:19:26.000So, what's happening now is young conservatives that are 15, 16, 17, 18, and my age, 26, we start in the culture war.
01:19:33.000We start with the hand-to-hand combat.
01:19:35.000We start with the digital social media stuff, and then you get into politics, and you have a whole new generation of fighters.
01:19:50.000There's nothing that they don't do is that not involved in perpetual leftist activism.
01:19:54.000So, for us, when we get called bad names, it bothers us.
01:19:57.000And if it doesn't bother you, like you've either come to a place like me where you just become so siloed and you're used to it, or you're sociopathic.
01:20:07.000Because it's like, no, I'm like, I'm not those things.
01:20:10.000Like, stop calling me those names, right?
01:20:13.000And so, I want to give you guys, you know, the credence and the credit.
01:20:16.000I'm just to a point where I know that every single person that calls me these names are pathological, hopeless, just unbelievably unhappy, sinister people that I don't care what they call me.
01:20:26.000It's like, good, you want to add on another ist because you missed one, right?
01:20:30.000And, but not everyone has that kind of daily occurrence.
01:20:33.000And I get it because you are all decent people.
01:20:35.000Like, you want to go build your church or build your family or build a business, and you should.
01:20:40.000What I'm telling you right now is like now is the time we actually have to become activists.
01:20:44.000Now, we have to wade into the waters of uncomfortability, right?
01:20:48.000We have to do stuff that is not in our DNA, where it's like, these people want to destroy our country.
01:21:17.000Like that's, you know, that's nonsense.
01:21:19.000And so the admission, if anyone running for office in this room, I highly encourage you to enter into running that office to know that no matter what they call me, it's not going to impact me because they're going to call you those names anyway.
01:21:33.000And I know the state might be different because of the one, it's generally one party rule, right?
01:21:37.000But it's a very important lesson for anyone that gets involved in this stuff because the left are relentless political organizers.
01:21:45.000And you have Elon Omar, you have Ayana Presley, you have Alexandria Cazio-Cortez, you have Rashida Talib.
01:21:50.000Ask yourself the question, do you think there's going to be more or less people like Alexandria Acasio-Cortez in 10 years in Congress?
01:22:19.000And if I could just be one 100th of the impact that that incredible human being had in our country, it would have been a life well served.
01:22:27.000Where he said brilliantly, politics is downstream from culture, right?
01:22:31.000So culture is what will eventually dictate politics.
01:22:34.000And so I'm going to tell you what's coming next because I've been telling, when I spoke in Sheridan six years ago, that was one of the speeches when I warned you guys, you guys might remember that there was a socialist insurgency that was going to materialize in the U.S. Congress.
01:22:47.000And I was taken seriously by you guys, but some people questioned that.
01:22:50.000But the reason that I said that and why I believed it is because I saw it happening on the campuses.
01:22:56.000The campuses are the harbinger of things to come in the culture.
01:23:00.000Whatever happens on college campuses will soon happen in the halls of Congress and in the corporate boardrooms across the country.
01:23:06.000So do you want to know what's happening next?
01:23:08.000Hyper-segregation, white apologism, and it's going to be the most divisive country you could possibly imagine because that's what's happening on campuses.
01:23:16.000And so you have to basically attack that early and not allow that to happen and also go after the core basis of it all.
01:23:48.000So first of all, no Republican, I want to make very clear, and I'm going to put this on Instagram later, which will be seen by a couple people.
01:23:59.000No Republican should ever take money from the tech companies, ever.
01:24:03.000No Republican should allow donations from the tech companies.
01:24:06.000And just so you understand, most of our elected Republicans in D.C. are taking money from Facebook and Twitter and Google, or the lobbyists that represent them, just so you understand.
01:24:15.000So our own party is being funded by the same tech elites that have unbelievable power.
01:24:19.000Now, for all the young people in this room, this will resonate with you.
01:24:23.000I encourage all of you to listen very intently because this is one of the biggest issues in our country that is getting glossed over and we're not taking seriously at all.
01:24:30.000Founding Fathers wrote extensively in the Federalist Papers about centralized power, right?
01:25:58.000The only time we could is maybe J.P. Morgan in the early 1900s when he twice bailed out the federal government or the vertical monopolization in the early 1900s.
01:26:05.000Now, I'm not advocating for huge government takeovers of these tech companies.
01:26:09.000First, I'm saying we shouldn't take money from them because they all hate us and they want to destroy our movement and destroy our worldview.
01:26:13.000And they've just about gotten close to doing that.
01:26:15.000Number two, I think we have to get very serious about what platform access is and what it actually means to have access to social media.
01:26:22.000I'm getting close to believing that access to Facebook and Twitter should be a civil right.
01:27:23.000There's nothing we can do at that point.
01:27:25.000And so there's a variety of different section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is being discussed at a very high level.
01:27:31.000I know that some of you do not use social media.
01:27:33.000You don't understand the significance of it.
01:27:35.000Here's the only way I can equate it to.
01:27:37.000Imagine in the 1970s or in the 1980s, the way that you connected with your friends, every source of information that you got disappeared instantaneously.
01:27:46.000That's what's happening every single day to young conservatives.
01:28:04.000I use it, but it's just creating another echo chamber.
01:28:07.000So I think you're exactly right in that analysis.
01:28:09.000But I think if we don't get serious about these tech companies and what they're doing to our country, it's a very, very, very serious issue.
01:28:38.000I've been here three and a half years, me and my wife Jackie.
01:28:42.000And I have heard, I've been on certain boards interviewing different people, and I've heard commissioners say, I ain't taking a penny from that damn Republican Party.
01:29:50.000I agreed with everything that you had to say when you talked about the Bible being taught in schools, but I want to know what we can do to keep them from taking the Bible and twisting it and making it look like something horrible, just like they've done with our history.
01:30:26.000I don't think that's a reason not to have it taught.
01:30:28.000I think that that's a completely separate issue.
01:30:31.000That's why I also advocate that every single public school across the country and in this state should have a camera that every single parent should be able to access at any time and see what the teachers are saying because they are your employees.
01:30:41.000And I don't know why that hasn't existed to this point.
01:30:49.000No one wants it because they're afraid of the teacher unions.
01:30:52.000But in this state, it's a state you guys should do.
01:30:53.000That every public school classroom should have a camera in the back of the classroom that any parent can access at any time that they can see what the teachers are doing.
01:31:00.000And if they have nothing to hide, they should be proud of the parents snooping in, right?
01:31:19.000The other point about, I mean, look, the Bible is being incredibly misinterpreted and misapplied right now by a lot of people in seminaries and theological schools.
01:31:29.000And the amount of people that are Christians that say Jesus Christ is a socialist, that we need Christian Marxism, it's at an unbelievable increase right now.
01:31:44.000So it's a very important thing to mention because, just so you guys know, the thing I run up against the most, not the most, I shouldn't say that, but the thing that disappoints me the most is Christians that are advocating for Bernie Sanders and for Joe Biden.
01:31:58.000These are pastors that are marching in the streets for abortion, thousands and thousands of thousands.
01:32:03.000And so it's a huge crisis in our country, needless to say.
01:32:06.000And also, the fastest growing religion in America is not Christianity, it's atheism.
01:32:10.000The fastest growing religion in America is atheism, a belief in nothingness, and a complete and total commitment to something that doesn't exist.
01:32:37.000Please help him get back to the positiveness of his previous campaign, of what the opportunities are here now with bringing manufacture back that's been in China, our drugs, our animal health drugs.
01:32:50.000We've all been affected so much financially by that Chinese takeover.
01:32:56.000He's got to focus on that, the potential for our country, which is what he's been about all along.
01:33:05.000And I completely, I agree that the more positive he is and the more specific he is about making America think big again, I actually think he'll be richly rewarded in the polls and also electorally.
01:33:16.000I think we got to get, and my advice to him, and I've said this publicly and also to him, is he's one of the most positive figures in American history.
01:33:26.000And I think he can capture the imagination of the country again.
01:33:29.000In fact, if you look at the brilliance of him over 40 years, he would have you that you could believe personal success.
01:33:34.000He'd have you that you could believe you could reach to your higher limits.
01:33:36.000He wrote a book in 2007 called Think Big.
01:33:39.000And one of his most amazing quotes is: if you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.
01:33:43.000I think right now is a time for him to say, you know what?
01:33:46.000Here's 15 specific things that we're going to do.
01:33:49.000And you might say they're impossible, but we do impossible things in our country, right?
01:33:53.000We're going to make our kids love America again.
01:33:54.000We're going to keep the Constitution in all of our schools.
01:33:56.000We're going to bring back manufacturing.
01:34:43.000We have run for state office twice in the northwest part of the state about 10 years ago.
01:34:52.000And one of the things that we got hit hardest with, and probably what we were experiencing on a much smaller scale than Donald Trump is now then, was that we thought in larger parameters.
01:35:07.000Because the word conservative is thrown around this state like just anything.
01:35:14.000I'm against abortion and I'm for the Second Amendment.
01:35:21.000And I wish that people would understand that this state is conservative, but it's very purple because they don't understand the word conservatism.
01:35:32.000And I would like for you to comment on that even more when you talk about conservatism because people use that very lightly.
01:36:38.000My lifelong ambition was to go to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
01:36:42.000I was an Eagle Scout, top of my class, all those sorts of things.
01:36:46.000I ended up not getting into the United States Military Academy, best thing that never happened to me.
01:36:51.000I saw in my generation something incredibly troubling, which was the growth of anti-Americanism at a rate that was going to be the death of everything we care about.
01:36:59.000Started this organization, Turning Point USA, when I was 18 years old.
01:37:05.000Eight years later, it's on 2,000 high school and college campuses across the country, 250,000 people actively involved.
01:37:12.000To answer your question, why am I involved?
01:37:14.000Because I need to fight like hell to make sure that this country survives and every single person in this room needs to do exactly the same.
01:37:20.000So with that, I want to say thank you guys so much for having me tonight.
01:37:26.000Thank you guys for hosting me so generously and warmly.
01:37:30.000God bless you and God bless the state.
