00:02:14.000There's something called commentaries.
00:02:17.000Commentaries are written by theologians or pastors where they go verse by verse and chapter by chapter and offer commentary and explanation on what you are reading.
00:02:29.000John MacArthur, who is a phenomenal person and just amazing.
00:02:50.000I've had the opportunity to speak with him on our program.
00:02:54.000John MacArthur has some of the best Bible commentaries that...
00:03:02.000John, I have almost all the MacArthur commentaries on almost every book of the Bible, just the one, the book of John.
00:03:10.000Now, that might be a little bit heavy for some folks, but I would encourage you to work through other supplementary texts that are biblical that can help fasten your faith.
00:04:33.000Genesis, written by Dennis Prager, is a game-changer.
00:04:37.000And then finally, find some Bible-based podcasts and podcasters.
00:04:43.000You can listen to this program, but everything we do is through a biblical lens, but it is not necessarily every day we're doing devotionals.
00:04:50.000I would also point you to the great Alan Jackson.
00:04:53.000Alan Jackson at alanjackson.com is a phenomenal partner of this program and is someone where you guys can go to alanjackson.com, A-L-L-E-N, and become part of his ever-growing community.
00:05:06.000So that's just off the top of my head.
00:05:08.000Also, of course, the phenomenal and legendary Jack Hibbs.
00:05:14.000I'm actually going to be at Jack Hibbs Church a week from Wednesday, so I could just go on and on and on.
00:05:18.000But the more seriously you take your faith, The deeper your journey will be, the more profound with splendor and glory and joy you will have that experience.
00:05:31.000And guys, I was talking about the John MacArthur clip recently where John MacArthur was unable to make a conference in Georgia and admitted his health is not doing very well.
00:05:41.000So if you could find that clip, I do want to play that as a little bit of a hat tip to the legendary John MacArthur.
00:06:45.000I just show up and I take some questions.
00:06:47.000But from the travel logistics, to finding the space, to the time, to the entry, to the amplification needs, I mean, you look at that, it looks simple.
00:06:56.000But it was a really amazing event, largely because of the venue.
00:07:01.000You see, at Florida State, it was great, but most of the kids left because I'm sitting at a table, I can only look at maybe a thousand kids.
00:07:30.000And very, very thankful for the Turning Point USA team.
00:07:32.000And by the way, you should start a Turning Point USA chapter.
00:07:35.000If you're a student out there, if you want to get involved, if you want to help save your country and save your campus, You could start it today at tpusa.com.
00:07:54.000Yeah, I just had a real quick question.
00:07:56.000So just for people, I mean, I consider myself more of a strict constitutionalist, you know, believing that just the Constitution is the law of the land and that kind of general viewpoint.
00:08:05.000What would you say is the best way to kind of communicate that when you're talking with people who would be more like performing a big government, specifically when people are like bringing forth the argument that the country is so big now, there's so many people, that it's too large to just be governed by the Constitution and then sort of the three branches of government that you need to have more of these federal agencies involved in that process?
00:08:30.000The person who's asking it doesn't understand human nature.
00:08:33.000So the Constitution was not written for the times.
00:08:36.000It was written to stand the test of time.
00:08:39.000The Constitution, first and foremost, alongside the Declaration, and Dr. Larry Arnn in his book, The Founder's Key, talks about this, that the Declaration and the Constitution are one document in the same, is first and foremost an analysis, an argument on human nature.
00:09:24.000It diffuses power in very unique ways.
00:09:28.000So, Ashlyn, I'm not able to kind of give you the entire Constitution speech that I would like to for the sake of time, but here's what I can direct you to, is that the best of all the Hillsdale online courses is the Hillsdale online course Intro to the Constitution.
00:09:44.000I have been studying it again the last couple of days.
00:09:48.000I re-listen and re-take the Hillsdale online course on Constitution 101 once a year.
00:09:55.000And Ashton, you'll realize the profundity and the brilliance of what our Founding Fathers authored.
00:10:02.000Because in order to have a free government, you must have a form and a structure that respects and responds to the idea that liberty is not man's idea, but it is God's idea.
00:10:15.000The Constitution is the greatest political document ever written.
00:10:18.000And it is the longest lasting of its kind, by the way, because it was not just written for, oh, what happened in 1780, but for human beings everywhere.
00:10:26.000That is why the First Amendment does not just apply to writing letters across the Atlantic, but it also applies to tweets that you send out or Facebook posts.
00:10:35.000Because human nature does not change, even though times do.

00:14:27.000I've got a high schooler nearby who wants to start a chapter, and he has approached a couple of teachers that he thought might be conservative.
00:14:39.000It's interesting that there's only one or two that he can identify because this is one of the most conservative counties in Colorado.
00:15:13.000Number two, though, this is largely why at our high school program we are renaming and rebranding the Turning Point High School chapters, which will still be that in practice.
00:15:57.000I think he should appeal to the administration, appeal to somebody, say, hey, can just some teacher sign on to this?
00:16:03.000And this is a culture of intimidation.
00:16:06.000Our Turning Point USA young patriots, they experience this on a daily basis.
00:16:11.000But I'd love to send a note of encouragement to him and also maybe a signed book.
00:16:18.000Last thing I'll say is this, is that even if it doesn't work out, The process and the difficulty that he has to experience will mature him and will make him a better, stronger young man as he grows up.
00:16:34.000Meaning this will be a phenomenal experience for him.
00:17:31.000Ever see your dog slowing down or having health issues and wonder, what can I do to make them better?
00:17:37.000Well, my friend, add rough greens to your dog's food for 90 days and you'll see changes that will amaze you, guaranteed.

00:18:12.000Fetch a free jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.
00:20:27.000And let me tell you why, especially with your parents.
00:20:29.000As you know in the Ten Commandments, the fifth commandment is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.
00:20:38.000It doesn't say, hey, only honor them if you have the same politics or only honor them if you see the world the same way.
00:20:46.000But number two, as someone who has also found Yeshua, Jesus Christ, if that does come up, It says in the scriptures, be equipped to have an answer if you are questioned, but do so in love and constantly try to diffuse.
00:21:03.000If there's provocation, say, guys, I'm not here to debate.
00:21:06.000I'm not here to, you know, have a combative thing.
00:21:11.000I honor you as my parents, and let's find other things to talk about.
00:21:15.000At the same time, if you feel comfortable, because, look, In some Jewish households, they're notoriously known for having very contentious discussions.
00:21:27.000In fact, there's a very good argument to be made.
00:21:31.000I got this from Yaron Brook, actually, from the Ayn Rand Institute, even though I think he's wrong on a lot of stuff.
00:21:39.000He once said one of the reasons why Jewish kids tend to be a little more advanced when it comes to reading and writing is because...
00:21:46.000You sit at the table at the age of two or three at a Jewish meal, and you have to defend your position and your point, and if not, your uncle would just say, that's stupid.
00:21:56.000You almost have to reason at a young age.
00:21:58.000I don't know if you can sympathize with that or not, Jennifer.
00:22:43.000So I have a question because not many people understand what goes on in New York.
00:22:47.000Trump is meeting with Hochul today, our governor, and I know one of the things on the docket is this pipeline that goes through the New England states that he wants to have come through New York to help lower costs by $5,000 a month or a year, whatever it came out to be.
00:23:00.000The issue is Hochul and the previous governor, Cuomo, have made sure that no fracking, no pipelines will come through.
00:23:08.000And come next year, Any new houses built in New York State cannot have natural gas hookup.
00:23:13.000And then a couple years later, new buildings can't have natural gas hookup.
00:23:17.000So how does the EPA and how can Trump do anything to override all these?
00:23:23.000And I know they're state level, but what can they do?
00:23:26.000Because New York has a ton of natural gas.
00:24:08.000With that being said, is that Kathy Hochul should rescind the moratorium on fracking because it would create so many jobs for the people in New York.
00:24:16.000Look at what's happening in Pennsylvania, and I think it is an insult and a tragedy that New York is not doing the same thing.
00:25:06.000I mean, you guys are amazing in everything you're doing.
00:25:09.000I am blown away by what you've created in such a short amount of time.
00:25:14.000But what can we do to get fair elections within that county, which tends to turn the entire state?
00:25:22.000Yeah, well, first I will say there is hope.
00:25:23.000And I agree with you that it has gone south and we need to kind of turn this around.
00:25:27.000But let's look at everything that we accomplished.
00:25:30.000This last cycle, it was President Trump's best ever performance in the state of Arizona, a five and a half point victory, almost 200,000 votes over Kamala Harris.
00:25:40.000We are full speed ahead to win back the governor's race, the attorney general and the secretary of state's race.
00:25:46.000And I think we're going to turn this into the Florida of the West.
00:25:49.000It's not going to be easy, but we're going to be pouring a lot of money in to this state and a lot of attention and a lot of ballot chasing.
00:25:56.000People say, Charlie, what's your plan for the midterms?
00:25:58.000My number one plan is to defend our home.
00:26:01.000We're going to get a lot of attention here in Arizona.
00:26:04.000We have a great following here in Arizona.
00:26:18.000People say, oh, you know, you should run.
00:26:20.000I'm running Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action doing the show.
00:26:23.000But to answer your question, we're going to continue to chase votes and to register voters and turn Arizona into a red paradise.
00:26:32.000If I had nothing else going on, it of course would be somewhat tempting to run for governor alongside Byron and Vivek, because I think Arizona could kick the tail of Florida and Ohio.
00:26:43.000I mean, you want to go be a Florida man in the I-5 corridor or Orlando, or do you want to go live in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona?
00:26:50.000I mean, no offense to Ohio, but you'd be lucky if the sun comes out once in February or March.
00:26:55.000There is so much untapped potential in Arizona.
00:26:59.000Again, I'm not running for governor or anything, but the lack of vision that some of these candidates have for Arizona, we should become the AI super capital of the American West, number one.
00:27:08.000Number two, we should be the desalination.
00:27:41.000First, so I have a almost six month old and I mean, I've just been super anxious about having to go back to work and everything.
00:27:50.000So I was just wondering, you know, for the future, does President Trump have any plans for like maternity leave or anything like that as far as like making it potentially better?
00:28:01.000Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen in this bill.
00:28:09.000So Beatriz, this is a sad state of affairs and you are a victim of a larger economic problem.
00:28:17.000So I don't mean to pry, but is it one of those things where you have to work in order to support your family with your husband or your partner?
00:30:12.000When faced with a threat, you might think of lethal force, but consider a less lethal option like Burna to avoid legal issues tied to firearms.
00:30:19.000As a strong advocate for the right to bear arms, I value diverse defensive options, and Burna offers an effective alternative.
00:30:27.000Proudly assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Burna's less lethal pistol launchers loaded with tear gas and kinetic ammunition can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, allowing you to safely escape or call for help while reducing...
00:30:41.000Berna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal drugs.
00:30:46.000It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
00:30:56.000Berna can be shipped directly to your door.

00:31:30.000Yeah, I'm just, I'm happy you brought it up because, you know, here in the state of Wisconsin, we are definitely red through and through, except for Dane County and Milwaukee County, obviously.
00:31:41.000And it's just kind of crazy that, you know, our legislature is Republican, but our Supreme Court right now is, you know, 4-3 Democratic.
00:31:52.000And now that she's leaving, we've got to get Shimo across the line because if they...
00:31:57.000If we allow that Supreme Court and they're going to gerrymander the districts and we might lose Wisconsin forever because they're going to get that legislature over to, you know, a liberal legislature and all the think tanks in Dane County is just going to, you know,
00:32:12.000infect the rest of the or have the power to infect the rest of the state.
00:32:43.000You know, Scott Pressler here doing his thing is amazing to have, but it's still just where it's, you know, we had a lot of young people, thanks to you and your organization, that went out and voted for Trump.
00:32:54.000It's harder to get them to understand how important it is on the state level.
00:33:00.000You know, I have a bunch of 20-year-olds.
00:33:03.000I have a 20-year-old son, and, you know, just every one of his friends I'm talking to, and it's just trying to get them to go vote, you know, for something they don't hear a bunch about is the hump to get over.
00:34:32.000The advice I would give is I'd say, look, we are going to help secure this border, America, so you no longer have terrorists flowing across the border.
