Transcript

00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:01:09.000 How we doing, everybody?
00:01:13.000 All right, so we're going to have some fun because, as you know, these videos go quite viral, right?
00:01:19.000 But I want to do a prove me wrong, but no politics, okay?
00:01:23.000 Other stuff.
00:01:23.000 Nothing up.
00:01:24.000 If you ask about politics, I'm kicking you out of line, okay?
00:01:26.000 Enough.
00:01:27.000 You guys can come to campus to do that.
00:01:29.000 Culture, dating, food, or sports, go cubs, right?
00:01:35.000 All right, fine.
00:01:35.000 Then come on up and prove me wrong.
00:01:37.000 All right, I'm going to have to wear my cubs hat then.
00:01:39.000 What do you think?
00:01:40.000 The great Ed Zeman is here.
00:01:41.000 Right?
00:01:42.000 Go Cubs.
00:01:44.000 So we're going to do a prove me wrong.
00:01:46.000 If you do politics, guys, I'll just be like, really?
00:01:48.000 Okay, fine.
00:01:49.000 I mean, I might answer your question, but probably not.
00:01:52.000 But prove me wrong.
00:01:52.000 What's on your mind, young man?
00:01:55.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:01:56.000 Got to make sure the mics work.
00:01:57.000 Yeah.
00:01:59.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:02:00.000 So nice to meet you.
00:02:01.000 My name is Ben.
00:02:02.000 I'm here representing Shemekita Community College in Oregon.
00:02:05.000 And I'm here to tell you that Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie of all time.
00:02:11.000 Yeah!
00:02:12.000 Yeah!
00:02:14.000 Let's go!
00:02:14.000 That's an unusual amount of applause for Revenge of the Sith.
00:02:18.000 So Revenge of the Sith is what, episode 2 or episode 3?
00:02:22.000 Three!
00:02:23.000 You think that's the best Star Wars movie?
00:02:25.000 Better than the original trilogy.
00:02:27.000 Why?
00:02:28.000 Okay, so it has the best choreography and the best CGI of all time.
00:02:32.000 It holds up.
00:02:33.000 It's way better than anything that's been putting out nowadays.
00:02:37.000 And on top of that, it's got biblical references.
00:02:40.000 You know, the fall of Satan, the fall of Lucifer, Palpatine tempting Anakin, just like the snake in the Garden of Eden.
00:02:50.000 Here you go.
00:02:50.000 You've done your homework here.
00:02:51.000 I have.
00:02:52.000 I have.
00:02:52.000 I got it all right here.
00:02:54.000 It ties the whole series together, making it the best franchise of all time.
00:02:59.000 Anakin is like the worst actor I've ever seen, ever.
00:03:01.000 I mean, whoa, Terrible.
00:03:05.000 He's terrible.
00:03:06.000 I'm going to die on this hill.
00:03:08.000 The original Star Wars is way better than anything.
00:03:10.000 I'm sorry.
00:03:11.000 I'm going to die on this hill.
00:03:13.000 New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
00:03:16.000 Better than all this new.
00:03:17.000 Can we at least agree the new one sense are terrible?
00:03:19.000 I don't even want to talk about that.
00:03:20.000 We all can agree on that, right?
00:03:22.000 The new ones are terrible.
00:03:24.000 Do you like the Phantom Menace?
00:03:26.000 No.
00:03:27.000 Okay, we'll agree on that.
00:03:28.000 Attack of the Clones is good, but Phantom Menace, no.
00:03:31.000 Revenge of the Sith is the best.
00:03:33.000 I think that you just like the prequels because of the nostalgia.
00:03:37.000 I like the nostalgia.
00:03:38.000 Also, the acting is better.
00:03:39.000 The story is better.
00:03:41.000 It's firmer.
00:03:42.000 I mean, like, I don't know.
00:03:44.000 I haven't watched these movies in so long, but you're talking about episode three, right?
00:03:47.000 Yeah.
00:03:48.000 I found it to be just so disappointing.
00:03:51.000 Is this a popular view held by people?
00:03:54.000 Yes, right?
00:03:56.000 Yeah.
00:03:57.000 No, it's not.
00:03:59.000 I don't know.
00:04:00.000 There's something, the first ever Star Wars, considering when it was made, and you want to talk about the most advanced CGI, the fact that they had those kind of graphics back in like, I think it was 1978, it came out?
00:04:10.000 77?
00:04:10.000 Yeah.
00:04:11.000 Well, you guys really know your stuff.
00:04:13.000 Okay, great.
00:04:14.000 He knows every year.
00:04:15.000 So I don't know if I proved you wrong, but you've definitely, I have learned something that people are passionate about.
00:04:22.000 So anyway, but we agree the new Star Wars are no good.
00:04:25.000 Yeah, down.
00:04:26.000 And all the spin-offs are just so, I mean, how many more spin-offs do they have to make?
00:04:29.000 It's terrible.
00:04:31.000 All right.
00:04:31.000 Thank you so much.
00:04:32.000 Thank you.
00:04:33.000 All right, great.
00:04:35.000 Next one.
00:04:37.000 Hey, Charlie, my name is Barrett LeMaster from Centerville, Ohio.
00:04:41.000 My question is, how do you think dating apps and hookup culture have shaped a generation's understanding of intimacy, loyalty, and the understanding of the nuclear family?
00:04:50.000 Oh, it's terrible.
00:04:51.000 First of all, I mean, I encourage all of you to save yourselves for marriage and to reject hookup culture.
00:04:57.000 And this is not a preachy thing.
00:04:59.000 This is not, you know, I'm better than you or anything, but I encourage you to do it.
00:05:03.000 You'll be happier.
00:05:04.000 Your marriage will be better.
00:05:05.000 You will be, honestly, there's less problems, you know, when you get.
00:05:09.000 And these apps are terrible.
00:05:11.000 I mean, I would encourage you guys to get off the apps and go to church and actually go meet your future spouse.
00:05:15.000 And don't go on Tinder.
00:05:18.000 Go to a Bible study.
00:05:20.000 Yes, sir.
00:05:20.000 And look, I guess some people can find true love on these apps, but we know what those apps exist for.
00:05:26.000 Those apps exist for very low, shallow engagement that does not always and almost never brings long-lasting stability and connection.
00:05:37.000 If you want to build a life with somebody, date with the intent to marry, number one, and find somebody that shares your values.
00:05:45.000 I will also die on this hill.
00:05:48.000 I think it's wrought with problems if you are a conservative and you end up marrying a liberal.
00:05:52.000 Do not do that.
00:05:54.000 But you want to marry somebody that you are able to talk about the news every night, that you share core values with.
00:06:02.000 And I don't think you get that on some silly dating app.
00:06:04.000 I agree.
00:06:05.000 Thank you.
00:06:05.000 God bless you, man.
00:06:06.000 Thank you so much.
00:06:07.000 Next question.
00:06:08.000 Or prove me wrong statement or whatever.
00:06:10.000 Yes.
00:06:11.000 Hi.
00:06:11.000 This is so cool.
00:06:13.000 I'm Jennifer.
00:06:14.000 I'm from Southlake.
00:06:15.000 I will be graduating this year.
00:06:17.000 This is amazing.
00:06:18.000 I'm the president.
00:06:20.000 The president was the president of the Southlake chapter.
00:06:24.000 I was just curious what your standpoint on women in men's fields.
00:06:29.000 I'm going to be a pilot.
00:06:30.000 That's what I'm studying in aviation.
00:06:34.000 And I want a family as well.
00:06:37.000 But the problem with going into a male-dominated field is the women's, we don't get a lot of maternity leave.
00:06:47.000 And I wonder what your mindset on that one is.
00:06:51.000 It's a tough question.
00:06:52.000 So if you had to, which one matters more?
00:06:55.000 Great family or great career?
00:06:57.000 Family.
00:06:58.000 Great family.
00:06:59.000 So, I mean, go be a pilot, you travel the world, you might meet your future husband, but you should want to meet your future husband that will be able to make enough money that you can quit.
00:07:09.000 That would be my advice.
00:07:11.000 I always tell that to young ladies, that if you, by the way, you have a career, if something doesn't work out, you'll be able to support yourself.
00:07:17.000 But deep down, women in America, they have kids, and they weep to themselves when they have to go and put their nine-month-old in daycare.
00:07:28.000 We want a country.
00:07:29.000 People say, Charlie, what does success look like?
00:07:31.000 My number one thing I'm obsessed about, I want to live in a country where if a woman does not want to go to work having to have a kid, she does not have to go to work and she could stay at home and raise those kids.
00:07:43.000 It is, we should all seek to build that country.
00:07:47.000 It's good for men.
00:07:48.000 It's good for women.
00:07:49.000 It's good for kids.
00:07:50.000 Good for family, good for community.
00:07:51.000 It's not knocking people that use daycare at all.
00:07:54.000 If you have to use daycare, God bless you.
00:07:56.000 I know it's tough, but honestly, too many people have to not want to.
00:08:01.000 And we should have a country.
00:08:02.000 In the 1980s, a father working was able to support an entire family.
00:08:07.000 Now things are so expensive.
00:08:09.000 Homes are out of reach.
00:08:11.000 Inflation has crushed us.
00:08:13.000 Both the man and the woman have to go into the workforce.
00:08:16.000 That is bad.
00:08:18.000 It is bad for everybody.
00:08:19.000 It creates strangers raising our kids.
00:08:22.000 And also, it creates women that have to go into the workforce that are unhappy in their job because they'd rather have their six-month-old baby in their arms.
00:08:28.000 And honestly, it's much more important for you to raise your six-month-old baby than crunching numbers on a spreadsheet for some company that doesn't even know your name.
00:08:36.000 So it seems like you know what you're doing being a pilot.
00:08:40.000 God bless you for that.
00:08:40.000 It's an awesome skill to have, by the way.
00:08:42.000 You'll be able to teach your kid to be a pilot.
00:08:44.000 But here's my one piece of advice: be willing to quit if you find the man of your dreams and you start building a family.
00:08:51.000 Because building a family is far more important than getting another 10,000 hours flying around the world.
00:08:56.000 God bless you.
00:08:57.000 Thank you so much.
00:09:03.000 This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y-Refi.

00:10:13.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:10:13.000 My name is Cam.
00:10:14.000 I go to the University of North Dakota.
00:10:18.000 I'm a lifelong Vikings fan, and I love football.
00:10:20.000 It's a very masculine sport.
00:10:22.000 All right.
00:10:23.000 How many Super Bowls have the Minnesota Vikings ever won?
00:10:25.000 All right.
00:10:26.000 All right.
00:10:26.000 We don't got to discuss.
00:10:27.000 No, let's count them.
00:10:29.000 I think we're done counting.
00:10:31.000 Exactly.
00:10:32.000 That's right.
00:10:32.000 There's no need to count.
00:10:34.000 All right.
00:10:34.000 Well, I know you're from Chicago.
00:10:36.000 Let's count again.
00:10:39.000 I know you're from Chicago.
00:10:40.000 I'm just wondering how you feel about the fact that the worst team in the NFL, the Bears, is led by a man who paints his fingernails.
00:10:46.000 First of all, I'm not a defender of Caleb Williams.
00:10:49.000 Second of all, 85 Bears were the greatest football team ever assembled in NFL history.
00:10:54.000 Third of all, I don't have to hear Smack Talk from a football team.
00:10:58.000 I don't think you've ever been to a Super Bowl.
00:10:59.000 Four.
00:11:00.000 You guys have been to four?
00:11:01.000 Yeah.
00:11:01.000 That makes it even worse.
00:11:02.000 Choke.
00:11:03.000 That's what I think of, right?
00:11:05.000 And by the way, it's like the Buffalo Bills style.
00:11:07.000 So.
00:11:09.000 Oh, they didn't like that.
00:11:11.000 Oh, that's right.
00:11:11.000 That was four in a row that the Buffalo Bills lost, not just four.
00:11:15.000 So, no, I'm not a fan of Caleb Williams, but I will say, go Bears.
00:11:23.000 What?
00:11:23.000 You think painting fingernails is ruining the family?
00:11:25.000 No, I'm not going to defend Caleb Williams, but I will say the Bears are a much better franchise than the Minnesota Vikings.
00:11:31.000 Not currently.
00:11:32.000 Huh?
00:11:32.000 Not currently.
00:11:33.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:11:34.000 You guys choked in the playoffs last year, too.
00:11:38.000 You guys didn't make the playoffs.
00:11:39.000 Go Bears.
00:11:41.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:11:42.000 My name's Willem from the University of Central Oklahoma.
00:11:46.000 I'm lucky to have found the love of my life.
00:11:48.000 We've been together for about a year and a half, and I want to marry her one day after we both graduate college.
00:11:55.000 However, she's not where I am in my journey with Christ, and I want to have a marriage centered around Christ, and I want to know what are some of the best ways I can help guide her towards our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so that we can share a happy future together.
00:12:06.000 It's a phenomenal question.
00:12:07.000 Here's my first immediate: do not get married until that gets sorted out.
00:12:10.000 Do not get married with the intent to convert your spouse.
00:12:14.000 And if it does not get sorted out, then I would caution for you to enter into marriage.
00:12:19.000 You enter into marriage as a covenant.
00:12:21.000 Now, what is a contract is a thing between two people.
00:12:24.000 I want to buy something from you, or I want to lease something.
00:12:28.000 A covenant is something between three people: man, woman, God.
00:12:33.000 A covenant has no expiration date.
00:12:36.000 A covenant is built on love and trust and mutual shared values.
00:12:41.000 A contract is not.
00:12:43.000 So my advice for all of you is enter into marriage covenantally, not contractually.
00:12:48.000 Get married in a church.
00:12:50.000 Do pre-married marital counseling.
00:12:52.000 Make sure your spouse shares your values about religion.
00:12:55.000 If they don't, try to figure it out, and it might not be the right choice for you.
00:12:58.000 Because here's what I'll tell you: marriage will get hard.
00:13:01.000 And when marriage gets hard and you're going to church to sort out your problems and she's not, that's a no-brainer.
00:13:07.000 Number one, you asked a specific question.
00:13:10.000 Pray for your future spouse.
00:13:11.000 Pray for her.
00:13:12.000 Bring her to church.
00:13:13.000 Ask her the tough questions.
00:13:14.000 There are probably.
00:13:15.000 Can I ask you, what is her objection as to why she will not follow Jesus?
00:13:19.000 Is it technical that she doesn't think there's enough evidence?
00:13:22.000 Is that she was wronged by religion growing up?
00:13:24.000 Is it she thinks it's hypocritical?
00:13:27.000 I know all the objections.
00:13:28.000 So which one would it be?
00:13:29.000 She doesn't really know how there can be a higher power when there's so much evil in the world.
00:13:34.000 Yeah, okay, got it.
00:13:35.000 So very, she strikes me as somewhat smart, right?
00:13:40.000 Very.
00:13:40.000 So here's what you should say.
00:13:42.000 Evil cannot exist if there is no standard of good.
00:13:45.000 So let me ask you, very simple.
00:13:47.000 You can do a thought exercise.
00:13:48.000 Just draw a crooked line for her and say, honey, is this a crooked line?
00:13:55.000 Yes.
00:13:56.000 How do you know that?
00:13:58.000 Well, she's saying, because I know what a straight line looks like.
00:14:01.000 Wait a second.
00:14:01.000 So how do you know what is evil?
00:14:04.000 Because you have a straight good to compare it to.
00:14:07.000 She only knows something is evil because she believes there's a transcendent good.
00:14:11.000 Evil does not exist.
00:14:12.000 Evil is just an opinion if there is no God.
00:14:15.000 Murder is not wrong if there is no God.
00:14:17.000 Stealing is not wrong if there is no God.
00:14:20.000 So the way to convince her of that is that you're not the first person to wrestle with the question of evil.
00:14:25.000 The more important question is, is it actually evil?
00:14:28.000 Or is it just an opinion?
00:14:29.000 And we believe that we know as believers that there's an absolute standard above us that we appeal to.
00:14:35.000 And finally, I'll just, I think you should say the question.
00:14:38.000 The Bible tells us two things.
00:14:40.000 God will use all things for good for those who love him.
00:14:42.000 Romans 12, 2.
00:14:43.000 But that might not satisfy her.
00:14:45.000 Instead, the question of evil should be, we as Christians, we have to explain a couple things.
00:14:51.000 We have to explain like child suffering.
00:14:54.000 Like, I'll be honest, it's really tough for us to wrestle with the fact that these girls are at Christian summer camp and they get washed away in a flood.
00:15:01.000 It's tough, right?
00:15:02.000 We have to explain child cancer and flooding and earthquakes.
00:15:06.000 But the atheist, they have to explain everything else.
00:15:10.000 They have to explain why we exist.
00:15:12.000 What is love?
00:15:13.000 What is mercy?
00:15:14.000 Why is it that our universe came to being?
00:15:16.000 Is there a standard of good?
00:15:17.000 Is there a standard of evil?
00:15:19.000 They have to explain everything else.
00:15:21.000 So I don't know if most women are led to the gospel through more, let's say, emotional feeling type.
00:15:29.000 She might sound very analytical, and that's fine.
00:15:31.000 But I would encourage her and say, just because there is evil does not mean there is no God.
00:15:37.000 In fact, it means the only reason you know it's evil is because there's a transcendent, perfect standard of good, and that is God Himself.
00:15:43.000 God bless you, Charlie.
00:15:44.000 Thank you very much.
00:15:50.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:15:52.000 My name is Vivian Chamberlain, and I'm from Troy University in Troy, Alabama.
00:15:56.000 I just had a quick question.
00:15:58.000 I don't know if you've been asked this before or not, but as a Christian, what music and media would you recommend allowing into your home in a culture that is just so focused on immorality rather than the traditional principles that we see?
00:16:11.000 That's a great question.
00:16:12.000 Phenomenal.
00:16:12.000 So for our kids, we only allow classical music, praise music, or a very couple exception old songs.
00:16:20.000 So my daughter loves Dolly Parton, so we play Jolene.
00:16:25.000 My son loves It's a Man's World by James Brown with Pavarati.
00:16:29.000 Great song to raise a son on, by the way.
00:16:31.000 Besides that, though, modern music is complete filth and garbage.
00:16:35.000 Anything that has been published in the last 10 years, and you say, oh, you know, country music.
00:16:40.000 I barely consider that to be music, to be honest.
00:16:41.000 I know you guys.
00:16:42.000 Sorry.
00:16:43.000 Just the way it is.
00:16:44.000 It's the way it is.
00:16:45.000 It's very hard to listen to.
00:16:46.000 It's an affront to my senses, actually.
00:16:49.000 And it's fine, you don't have to agree.
00:16:51.000 But you as a parent need to guard yourself first.
00:16:57.000 The music you listen to, you notice you memorize all these lyrics.
00:17:02.000 By the way, it also matters the type of Christian worship music you're listening to.
00:17:06.000 Some of this Christian worship music is all about like, I, me.
00:17:10.000 Or there was one that there was this one recently that was, someone sent it to me.
00:17:15.000 I'm going to think about it.
00:17:16.000 It was, I'll think, it was this ridiculous thing, not irresistible grace.
00:17:21.000 It was something about, it was a contradiction about God.
00:17:25.000 It sounded good lyrically, but it makes no sense.
00:17:28.000 Everybody, your Christian music should also be biblically consistent and glorify God as well.
00:17:34.000 So look, here's the key.
00:17:35.000 Classical music, Haydn, Mozart, Bach, you know, at the top of every one of their compositions they said, glory be to God.
00:17:42.000 We do not listen to classical music enough in the West.
00:17:45.000 It's time for us to stop listening to rap music and this degenerate hip-hop stuff and go back to the music that built our civilization.
00:17:52.000 Thank you so much.
00:17:52.000 Thank you so much.
00:17:56.000 Howdy, Blake here.
00:17:58.000 You know, in moments like this, truth really matters.
00:18:01.000 The truth was important to Charlie, so we want to share with you a new documentary that's caught our attention.
00:18:06.000 Not because it's political, but because it refuses to shy away from the questions that so many Americans are still asking.
00:18:14.000 It exposes the truth.
00:18:16.000 Thank you, Dr. Fauci, is a hard-hitting investigative docu-thriller from award-winning filmmaker Jenner First.
00:18:22.000 He digs through thousands of documents, sits down with scientists, intelligence insiders, and whistleblowers, and exposes what may be one of the most significant public health cover-ups of our lifetimes.
00:18:34.000 This film isn't about scoring partisan political points.
00:18:37.000 It's about transparency, accountability, and the courage to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
00:18:43.000 If you've ever wondered what really happened behind closed doors, this is something you need to see for yourself.
00:18:49.000 Angel Studios was the only platform willing to release it, and that's because you, not Hollywood, decide what gets made.

00:19:06.000 Good afternoon, Charlie.
00:19:08.000 My name is Peter.
00:19:08.000 I am from Johns Creek High School, Georgia.
00:19:10.000 And I want to ask you if Michelle Obama throw hands with Kamala Harris, who's going to win?
00:19:16.000 Michelle Obama in like 10 seconds.
00:19:19.000 Michelle Obama would manhandle Kamala Harris.
00:19:22.000 Yo, do we agree?
00:19:23.000 Do we agree?
00:19:26.000 You guys agree, Michelle Obama?
00:19:28.000 I think it's Harris.
00:19:29.000 I think it's Harris.
00:19:30.000 Me personally.
00:19:31.000 Why?
00:19:31.000 Well, because look at Harris, like she can just like talk her game in front of Michelle Obama and then like Michelle can get distracted.
00:19:38.000 She can like sneak like an uppercut in.
00:19:39.000 I don't know.
00:19:40.000 It could happen.
00:19:41.000 I know Michelle Obama's a street fighter.
00:19:42.000 I would not.
00:19:44.000 I wouldn't mess with Michelle Obama.
00:19:45.000 I agree on that part.
00:19:46.000 I agree on that part.
00:19:47.000 There's a lot more I could say, but I would not mess with Michelle Obama.
00:19:51.000 That's all I'm going to say.
00:19:52.000 Thank you so much.
00:19:52.000 Next question.
00:19:53.000 Thank you.
00:19:59.000 Okay.
00:20:00.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:20:01.000 My name is Aquavian, and I'm an incoming freshman at the University of Texas at Austin.
00:20:06.000 My question is: is it just me or parents way too chill about their kids falling behind as long as they're happy and they have an iPad in their hand?
00:20:12.000 You are totally right.
00:20:13.000 By the way, you're going to UT, is that right?
00:20:14.000 Yes, I go like this, but that's okay.
00:20:16.000 We'll talk about that later.
00:20:17.000 Yeah, okay.
00:20:18.000 One of the greatest events I've ever done is at Texas AM University.
00:20:21.000 I'll never forget it.
00:20:21.000 It was unbelievable.
00:20:23.000 And UT was a disaster, but that's because maybe we'll make it up last time I go.
00:20:27.000 Next time I go, I think you would all agree.
00:20:30.000 One of the greatest tragedies is when I go out to eat with my wife, or I just go out to eat in general, and there's a family of four and they're all staring at screens.
00:20:40.000 There's something so distant and so remote.
00:20:43.000 An iPad or an iPhone has become a digital pacifier for this generation.
00:20:48.000 I agree.
00:20:48.000 And so, yeah, I mean, look, I think there's a lot wrong with that.
00:20:52.000 I think we should have no phones in classrooms, no phones in schools, and bring back actual robust learning in these classrooms.
00:21:00.000 Yes, I agree.
00:21:02.000 I'm 31 years old.
00:21:03.000 I'm not much older than you guys.
00:21:05.000 I grew up in a time where we did not have phones in our classrooms, and it was a better way to live, and it was a better country through and through.
00:21:11.000 I agree.
00:21:12.000 Thank you.
00:21:12.000 God bless.
00:21:13.000 Thank you.
00:21:13.000 God bless.
00:21:18.000 All right, we got two here.
00:21:21.000 Go.
00:21:21.000 It's your turn, Lord.
00:21:25.000 Hello, nice to meet you.
00:21:26.000 I'm Anna Sajan.
00:21:27.000 This is my friend Camilla, and we're both going into the ninth grade.
00:21:31.000 We both have a question to ask you, but first, we would like to thank you for all that you've done for the youth.
00:21:37.000 And then my question is: what is your Starbucks order?
00:21:39.000 You've been carrying a Starbucks cup around.
00:21:41.000 That's a great question.
00:21:44.000 What do you think it is?
00:21:47.000 A pumpkin macchiato?
00:21:49.000 What is that?
00:21:50.000 Somebody said green tea.
00:21:51.000 Someone said soy milk.
00:21:53.000 Somebody.
00:21:54.000 Chai.
00:21:55.000 That's not chai.
00:21:56.000 No.
00:21:56.000 I literally drink this for one reason because I lose my voice very easily.
00:22:00.000 It is literally just mint majesty tea with two honeys.
00:22:03.000 And I drink like nine of them a day.
00:22:05.000 Otherwise, I lose my voice.
00:22:06.000 By the way, people think I dip or like I put tobacco in.
00:22:10.000 Have you guys thought that when you watch the videos?
00:22:12.000 Have you guys thought that?
00:22:12.000 No.
00:22:13.000 Because these are throat lozenges that keep me from losing my voice.
00:22:18.000 That is a great question.
00:22:19.000 So now you know the Starbucks order.
00:22:21.000 Yes.
00:22:22.000 Okay.
00:22:23.000 My question is: if you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?
00:22:29.000 Boy, a superpower?
00:22:31.000 That's a good question.
00:22:35.000 I think that I'm trying to think what would be the, whatever would do the greatest good.
00:22:39.000 So probably, I don't want to say time travel because that's too much like God, but I would say, I mean, flying's pretty good.
00:22:45.000 Super speed, yeah.
00:22:47.000 It's very interesting.
00:22:48.000 If someone says they are superpower, they want to be able to be invisible, they're probably up to something very bad.
00:22:56.000 If somebody answers that question as, I want to be able to be invisible, nobody's behavior gets better as soon as you become invisible.
00:23:03.000 It's like, it doesn't work that way.
00:23:04.000 So probably flying.
00:23:06.000 That sounds awesome.
00:23:07.000 I'd be able to get to my events quicker.
00:23:09.000 I'll be able to do three of these in a day.
00:23:11.000 I could do UT and then go have a better event at Texas A ⁇ M, and it'd be great.
00:23:16.000 Thank you both.
00:23:17.000 God bless you.
00:23:18.000 You want a hat?
00:23:18.000 Yes, please.
00:23:19.000 Thank you.
00:23:22.000 Yes, sir.
00:23:23.000 That's Jesus of Nazareth on your chest, right?
00:23:25.000 Yes, sir.
00:23:27.000 Hello, Charlie.
00:23:28.000 My name's Tristan, future U.S. Army soldier, going to basic training.
00:23:32.000 Good for you.
00:23:32.000 God bless you.
00:23:35.000 So I've been waiting for this moment for about a year and a half.
00:23:39.000 So I just got a question to ask you.
00:23:42.000 I was always raised Republican conservative.
00:23:48.000 But first, always I'm a child of God.
00:23:51.000 And so I just wanted to ask you just one question about Trump's immigration policies, if that's okay.
00:23:58.000 Go ahead.
00:23:59.000 Okay.
00:23:59.000 So I have.
00:24:00.000 But you did say no politics, though, right?
00:24:02.000 I know.
00:24:02.000 So you're breaking that rule, but that's fine because you're very sweet.
00:24:05.000 But again, I don't, this is not the venue for this, but yeah.
00:24:08.000 I understand.
00:24:08.000 All right.
00:24:09.000 So I'm going to read this verse.
00:24:10.000 It's Leviticus 19, verse 33 and 32.
00:24:12.000 Yes, which is to love the foreigner in your land because you're a bunch of foreigners in Egypt, basically, right?
00:24:16.000 Yes.
00:24:16.000 Right.
00:24:16.000 So what else is what is Leviticus 19, 18?
00:24:20.000 What was that?
00:24:21.000 Oh.
00:24:22.000 No, no, how much?
00:24:23.000 Leviticus 19, I think it's like Leviticus 19, 18, which is, in the administration of justice, you shall not favor the poor or the rich.
00:24:31.000 So, in that same verse, when we're enforcing our laws, what would the biblical way to handle somebody that came into the country illegally?
00:24:40.000 Remove them.
00:24:40.000 Yeah.
00:24:41.000 However, do you think that the way that we are doing it and the way ICE is handling it is being done in a biblical manner?
00:24:46.000 Absolutely.
00:24:47.000 Yes.
00:24:47.000 Really?
00:24:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:24:49.000 What are you seeing that I'm missing?
00:24:51.000 Just the ruthless.
00:24:53.000 What do you mean, ruthless?
00:24:54.000 I mean, you break into somebody's home.
00:24:56.000 They're the ruthless ones, right?
00:24:58.000 I agree, but not all of them.
00:24:59.000 The ones who have.
00:24:59.000 Oh, no, they all broke into our home.
00:25:01.000 Right?
00:25:03.000 I understand.
00:25:04.000 No, no, prove me wrong.
00:25:05.000 No, if you're here illegally, you're in my home.
00:25:08.000 You were invited and you broke in.
00:25:10.000 That is a sin.
00:25:10.000 That's a violation of federal law.
00:25:13.000 So if we're going to put hands on you, I'm sorry.
00:25:15.000 You came into our country uninvited.
00:25:17.000 You're the one that was ruthless.
00:25:19.000 We're the one that's being just.
00:25:21.000 Okay.
00:25:22.000 Correct.
00:25:22.000 Yeah.
00:25:23.000 Okay.
00:25:23.000 And by the way, God is justice.
00:25:25.000 And by the way, it says in Leviticus 19: again, when we administer justice, you don't do it less because you feel sorry for somebody.
00:25:32.000 And deportations are completely biblical.
00:25:34.000 So you have 25, 30, 40 million people that have lied to get Social Security numbers.
00:25:38.000 Thou shalt not give false testimony.
00:25:40.000 They've stolen Social Security numbers.
00:25:42.000 Thou shalt not steal.
00:25:43.000 They have illegally harbored themselves in this country.
00:25:45.000 These are all federal law brokers, right?
00:25:47.000 So what should the penalty be for that?
00:25:51.000 Remove, yeah.
00:25:52.000 You're right, we agree.
00:25:53.000 We should deport every illegal alien here as quickly as possible.
00:25:56.000 Okay.
00:25:56.000 Thank you for your time.
00:25:57.000 Thank you.
00:25:58.000 Yes.
00:25:58.000 God bless.
