00:02:39.000For those of us who are paying attention, I first ran for office when I was 21 years old in Hawaii.
00:02:46.000I ran for a seat in the State House because I saw a bunch of politicians who cared more about the position and the power than they did about the people.
00:02:55.000At that time, I didn't come from a family that was involved in partisan politics.
00:03:00.000They were very involved with service and the community.
00:03:02.000But I didn't have a party that I was attached to, and I had to make a decision of which party that I would join.
00:03:08.000I joined the Democrat Party because back then, over 20 years ago, it was still a big tent party.
00:03:15.000It welcomed people from all different backgrounds.
00:03:17.000It was a party that still actively stood up for free speech and against censorship, even of speech that they found to be offensive or abhorrent.
00:03:28.000It was a party that fought for civil liberties and civil rights, and it was truly the party of the little guy.
00:03:34.000Nationally, but also in my home state of Hawaii.
00:03:41.000Everything that drew me to the Democrat Party really are the main reasons why I left the Democrat Party a few years ago.
00:03:49.000They have become the party of warmongers.
00:03:51.000They are the party of censorship of free speech.
00:03:55.000They are the party of power grabs of our civil liberties and freedoms.
00:04:00.000And they are the party of the elitist and permanent Washington establishment.
00:04:06.000There are so many examples, and we'll get into them, but ultimately, from my first year in Congress, within six months, we were talking about this earlier, I was two weeks as a new member of Congress.
00:04:20.000I got a call from someone who said, hey, how would you like to be vice chair of the DNC? And my response was, what is a vice chair of the DNC? I didn't know.
00:04:29.000I didn't know why they were calling me.
00:04:32.000Based on identity politics, I checked a lot of the boxes that they were looking for.
00:04:36.000But I think that they thought that I was going to be someone who was just going to fall in line, was going to do what the party bosses said to do and use the talking points that they send out in the emails every day.
00:04:46.000And it took barely six months for them.
00:04:49.000I sat on the Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.
00:04:51.000President Obama came and said, hey, I want to get authorization from Congress to start a new regime change war in Syria.
00:05:36.000And from that point on, I think they recognized they had already put me in position as a vice chair of the DNC, that I would continue to be a voice of truth.
00:05:46.000It got to the point where I tried my best to fix the Democrat Party from within.
00:05:52.000And I realized that not only were they not interested in that, they would seek to destroy and censor and smear anyone who dared to challenge their positions and their policies.
00:06:03.000So they used the same playbook against me that you saw them use against Bobby Kennedy, that you see them use against anyone who dares to criticize them and who dares to tell them.
00:06:13.000The truth, which is why I'm here today.
00:06:15.000And Tulsi, you ran for president and debated Kamala Harris.
00:06:19.000By the way, she did very well when she debated Kamala Harris, let me tell you.
00:06:49.000You know, Charlie, this is such an important point for, yes, those of you here, but you may be having similar conversations with friends of yours or coworkers or family members who don't know what they want to do in this election yet.
00:07:02.000They may not like any of the choices and feel conflicted about, you know, where the priorities should be placed or feel like the Democrat Party doesn't represent you, but you're not quite sure if you belong anywhere else.
00:07:15.000We look at the Democrat Party of today, and it hurts when I really think about this, that it was once the Party of Peace, for example.
00:07:25.000There is not a single Democrat in Congress today who has voted against or spoken out against continuously sending hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars, over a billion dollars at this point, to continue this proxy war against Russia via Ukraine.
00:07:43.000Using the Ukrainian people's lives and what is a regime change war against Russia.
00:07:50.000That is not only hurting them, but it's hurting us.
00:07:52.000We've got families in Western North Carolina right now who are homeless.
00:08:02.000And I have friends who are working right now.
00:08:05.000They have people coming to their volunteer medics saying, we've been drinking water from the contaminated lake and streams and their esophagus is burning and my kids are getting sick.
00:08:21.000And just today we got another message that the White House sent another, what was it, 250, 350 million dollars to Ukraine.
00:08:28.000And yet they're telling us they have no money for people who are in Western North Carolina right now who are fighting for their lives.
00:08:38.000Their foreign policy is making us less safe and secure and closer to World War III and nuclear war than ever before.
00:08:45.000And so as you're having conversations with people, look past the party affiliation or the history or the legacy.
00:08:51.000Today's Democrat Party would be unrecognizable to someone like President John F. Kennedy.
00:08:56.000I believe it would be unrecognizable to someone like Martin Luther King Jr., who told us to look past our skin color and see each other for who we really are.
00:09:09.000We have the opportunity in this election to shed those labels and focus on truly what is most important to us as Americans, as people, as humans, to our loved ones And when I say what kind of future we want in this country of freedom and peace and security and prosperity, those aren't just taglines or words that are put on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker.
00:09:39.000So yes, we have a lot of problems to solve, but if we are in a position as we are now closer to nuclear war than ever before, there is no life.
00:09:49.000That's why who we choose, all of us, who we choose, regardless of your party affiliation or your history or what you agree or disagree on, who we choose to be our president and commander-in-chief is the most important decision that we'll make on November 5th.
00:10:08.000Number one, I think we can all agree we should not send any more money to Ukraine while our own border remains wide open.
00:10:21.000Number two, why is it that the people of Western North Carolina are treated so terribly while people who break into our country get food stamps, luxury hotels, and private flights all across the interior of the United States?
00:11:12.000When people hear, oh, nuclear war, World War III, I think there's some eye-rolling.
00:11:17.000There's some, come on, that is sensationalizing things.
00:11:21.000Can you talk how serious it actually is and how immediate the threat is and how lackadaisical Kamala Harris is treating the fact that this audience could soon be drafted to the front lines of a major war against Russia?
00:11:40.000How many people here have actively filled out the form and registered for the draft?
00:11:46.000So for the rest of you, you may not know that Congress snuck in a line into a piece of legislation that would automatically register every male for the draft when you turn 18, whether you know it or not.
00:12:03.000And another effort underway to make it so that women are drafted and automatically registered for the draft at 18 as well.
00:12:17.000Why now, if not the warmongers seeing around the corner, hey, we got multiple wars that we are embroiled with in various regions around the world, They're hanging out and sharing drinks with their friends in the big defense contractors and military-industrial complex.
00:12:36.000You notice that stocks may be going down in some other areas over these last few years.
00:12:45.000They are preparing for you to be forced to go to war, whether you believe in it or not, whether you choose to or not.
00:12:56.000Second thing, when we talk about nuclear war, we in Hawaii had a very real close call with what that experience may look like a few years ago.
00:13:08.000It was early on a Saturday morning in Hawaii.
00:13:11.000Cell phones started going off with an alarm.
00:13:14.000Some of you might remember hearing about this in the news.
00:13:17.000That said, ballistic missile incoming to Hawaii.
00:13:48.000We had our University of Hawaii college students, just like you, literally caught on CCTV cameras sprinting across campus trying to get into any cement-looking building thinking that that might keep them safe.
00:14:04.000We had people who were gathering their kids and hiding in their bathtubs as though that somehow might keep them safe.
00:14:11.000I got a message from a guy who Caught on his iPhone, he lowered his daughter, his seven-year-old daughter, down a manhole and said, stay down here, honey.
00:14:27.000Another parent reached out to me after and said that he was in one town on the island of Oahu where I live, and he had one kid who was 20 minutes in this direction, another kid who was 20 minutes in that direction.
00:14:38.000And for all the parents in here, you will understand maybe his feeling when he said he had to choose.
00:14:44.000We got 15 minutes until all of this is over.
00:14:53.000Because when that attack comes, it's over.
00:14:58.000And while it may be difficult, and I understand, to conceptualize, this is the reality that we are living in right now, today.
00:15:08.000Because President Biden and Kamala Harris recently approved long-range missiles to be fired deep into Russia, Putin and Russia responded by changing their authorities that surround their use of nuclear weapons to say if they feel an existential threat, whether it's coming from nuclear weapons or not, they authorize the first strike use.
00:15:36.000That's the world we're living in right now.
00:15:39.000It will get exponentially worse if Kamala Harris is elected.
00:15:44.000The third thing I want to say to you about Kamala Harris, you might remember if you watched the debate between her and Donald Trump, one of the most striking moments to me, there was a lot that went on there, but one of the most striking moments to me was when she chose to look into the camera at all of us and say there is not a single active duty soldier serving in a combat zone anywhere in the world for the first time in a century.
00:16:17.000Meanwhile, you have soldiers who are deployed to Syria right now, watching her on TV in what looked like a tent, hearing her say this, saying, what about us?
00:16:31.000What about people who are deployed to Lebanon, people deployed to Jordan, people who are deployed under fire from the Houthis in Yemen?
00:16:40.000People who've been killed under this administration.
00:16:43.000When we have someone who's asking us to give her our trust and our confidence as Americans.
00:16:49.000I can speak as a soldier who still serves.
00:16:53.000Asking for us to trust her to be our commander-in-chief.
00:16:58.000Yet she has no idea that we have tens of thousands of service members when she said that statement as we do today who are putting their life in harm's way in service to our country.
00:17:12.000How dangerous is it that we have a person who is so clearly out of touch or simply does not care?
00:17:22.000How do we trust her with the nuclear codes?
00:17:25.000The last thing I'll say on her with this is that the most dangerous thing, and I said this back in 2020 when we were both running for president on the Democratic ticket, The most dangerous thing that we could see as Americans is a Kamala Harris presidency where in order to try to hide her insecurity and her weakness and her desire to prove strength,
00:17:51.000That she is a commander-in-chief, the first thing that she will do is use our men and women in uniform and the might of our military to go and try to prove that strength and suck us into yet another unnecessary, counterproductive, costly war.
00:18:08.000This is someone who cares about power, not the people.
00:18:12.000And nothing can be more dangerous for us than that.
00:19:29.000Few people know this, but Kamala Harris and Joe Biden together, they worked very, very hard to repeal Title IX. And Kamala Harris is running to try to be the first female president, which is funny because they can't tell you what a woman is when you ask them what a woman is.
00:19:45.000However, This is very important for any Democrat out there for you to tell your Democrat friends, which is that according to the policy, not just the rhetoric, but the policy of the current White House administration, that Kamala Harris will continue.
00:20:00.000Men will be able to enter into female locker rooms, and there will be no distinction between male-female sports.
00:20:06.000Is that an exaggeration, Tulsi, at all?
00:20:11.000In fact, they say that you will not receive federal dollars of tax dollars if you do not allow men to go into female locker rooms.
00:20:20.000Now, I remember a time when the Democrat Party used to say that they were defending women all the time.
00:20:24.000Well, they only say that with one issue.
00:20:26.000Well, why are they not defending women from perverts going into locker rooms that want to harm women?
00:20:37.000And if that is not persuasive enough, Tulsi, I want you to talk about where you were yesterday in Reno, which is an issue that I want Donald Trump to mention every day from now to the election.
00:20:54.000That men should not be able to be in women's sports.
00:20:57.000I'm sure we have women athletes here and people that believe in fairness.
00:21:02.000Tulsi, talk about the San Jose State volleyball team and then talk about how Donald Trump will not put up with this and Kamala Harris is enthusiastic about the destruction of female sports.
00:21:14.000First of all, isn't it just, like, surreal that one of the top priorities of a presidential candidate is to make it so that men and boys don't play in women and girls sports?
00:21:27.000This is the insanity of the Democrat Party that we're in today.
00:21:31.000I was in Reno last night, University of Nevada, Reno, women's volleyball team.
00:21:36.000They're in the news a little bit lately because they have an upcoming game against San Jose State.
00:21:42.000San Jose State has one of their players who is a biological male.
00:21:48.000The players on the women's volleyball team in Reno have taken a stand.
00:21:52.000The vast majority of players have said, we are standing up for fairness, equality, and safety for women in sports.
00:21:59.000We refuse to play against San Jose State.
00:22:03.000They would rather forfeit the game and take the loss.
00:22:10.000Because they believe in standing up for what's right.
00:22:13.000Their athletic director, the leadership of their school, came out with a public statement criticizing their own players taking this courageous stand.
00:22:25.000The school has made it clear that they will still have San Jose State go to the game.
00:22:30.000The game will still be on and they will force their players and they are standing strong and will not waver to literally stand on that court and refuse to play, which they will do.
00:22:42.000I'm grateful to have been able to have been there with them last night.
00:22:47.000But just to thank them for their courage and to share with them the inspiration that they're giving to so many other women and girls and men and boys to take that stand and do the right thing.
00:22:59.000This is an issue that's affecting schools and families and girls across the country.
00:23:05.000It's one that, as Charlie mentioned, the Harris-Biden administration pushed this policy change of Title IX that's been around for over 50 years.
00:23:15.000That was the reason why we have so many female Olympians today.
00:23:19.000Wouldn't exist without Title IX. They didn't go through this by passing legislation through Congress as you are supposed to do in a democratic republic.
00:23:27.000Instead, they backdoored it and did this rule change in an insidious way that not only made the changes that Charlie is talking about, but for every public school, K-12, that gets federal funding to feed the poor kids who can't afford to buy breakfast or lunch.
00:23:45.000It's called free and reduced lunch funding.
00:23:49.000The Harris-Biden administration are telling the administrators of every one of these schools, unless you allow boys into girls' bathrooms, unless you allow boys to play in girls' sports, we will refuse to provide you with free and reduced lunch funding, therefore taking food away from the kids who are coming who need help the most.
00:24:12.000This is coming from the people who claim to care about the most vulnerable, who claim to care about the poor, who claim to care about the hungry, who claim to care about opportunity for women and girls and equal pay for equal work, all of their lines.
00:24:25.000But when you look at their actions, they don't care about it at all.
00:24:34.000The most recent one that we're hearing about is their overt support For parents to lose their children to the government if you refuse to abide by gender-affirming, quote-unquote, care and pronouns.
00:24:49.000They want the government to be able to take your child away from you if you don't call the child by the pronoun that they want you to call them.
00:24:57.000This is what a Kamala Harris presidency will be if we allow her in office.
00:25:03.000So one final topic here that I want to hear from the audience is there's an amazing thing happening, everybody, and I hope you guys understand it And are able to take pause and understand you're living through history.
00:25:17.000And there's very few realignments in American political history.
00:25:21.000A realignment is where all of a sudden constituencies realize that their values are better fit with another political party and things start to change in real time.
00:25:30.000There's not been a serious realignment in American politics since the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.
00:25:36.000Republicans and Democrats have generally had the same constituencies.
00:25:39.000Republicans have generally been the party of college-educated voters, more managerial class, more Northeastern, Rockefeller, Mitt Romney types.
00:25:48.000And the Democrats were more the party of laborers, people that would work at their hands.
00:25:52.000And they were always, the Democrats were always supporters of free speech, They were always supporters of civil liberties, and they were always skeptical of foreign war.
00:26:01.000But something has changed over the last 20 years, where the uniparty, which means that the establishment in both political parties, are indecipherable.
00:26:10.000But thanks to Donald Trump running, you're seeing a massive change.
00:26:14.000Where now the Republican Party is the party of the muscular class, is the party of families, is the party of people that shower before work and shower after work.
00:26:23.000The Republican Party is now, by the way, You can laugh at them, but they're the ones that deliver your Uber Eats at 2am every night, okay?
00:26:30.000They're the ones that drove the trucks during COVID to make sure you guys had food, okay?
00:27:24.000She ran for the presidency as a Democrat, and yet we agree on the big stuff.
00:27:29.000And you are living through a unification moment, where now, getting behind Donald Trump are people as conservatives like myself, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy, the first Republican, the Kennedy ever to endorse a Republican.
00:27:51.000The people that want more power in Washington, D.C. This is team unity versus a uniparty.
00:27:58.000Can you speak to this, Tulsi, as a final kind of element, and then let's get some questions.
00:28:02.000It's a beautiful thing, and it's something that I hope gives you hope, as it does me, because we have people who are coming together as we should, as Charlie said, around the most important and fundamentally American values and principles, things that we all share in common, recognizing, as President Trump has, I had a reporter who talked to me, and they're like, oh, you're going and doing all these events for Trump, and you're speaking at all these town halls.
00:28:30.000They must give you some pretty tight talking points to use.
00:28:52.000I talk about the issues that are most important to me and why I believe his presidency, his next presidency, is our best hope to have a future in this country that is free and secure and peaceful and prosperous.
00:29:06.000We have the opportunity in an incredibly divided country, we have the opportunity to come together as Americans and bring we have the opportunity to come together as Americans and bring about the most significant historic change in a government that is so deeply corrupt.
00:29:36.000And for my friends, and I hear from them who are skeptical, like, Tulsi, how do you know that you're not going to have neocon warmongers in a Trump administration like there was last time?
00:29:47.000Look at the fact that he has asked both Bobby Kennedy and I and others to serve on his transition team to make sure that we get the people in those positions.
00:30:00.000Which we are actively doing right now.
00:30:02.000Get the people in those positions who are not just going to feed into the bureaucracy and put the bureaucracy over the interests of the people, the administrative over the interests of the people.
00:30:12.000Put people in these positions from top to bottom who are interested in the best well-being and interests of the American people first.
00:30:22.000Not people who are looking for their next job in Washington or looking to write some tell-all book.
00:30:27.000People who are passionate and experienced They care about Pete.
00:30:53.000We can bring about a government that our founders envisioned that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
00:31:00.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:31:59.000Okay, so if you guys have questions, you guys can start lining up.
00:32:02.000We have a mic here, and I just want to summarize that.
00:32:05.000If you want to be able to own a home, an end to the endless wars, if you want free speech and a government that represents you, you vote Donald Trump.
00:32:45.000I feel like I could speak collectively for all of us as a generation, a community when I say that it's discouraging to live in this generation right now.
00:32:56.000So my question for you is if you could choose one message of faith to tell everyone, what would it be?
00:33:09.000And that God loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ.
00:33:16.000And that whoever gives his or her life to Jesus Christ will find life and life more abundantly.
00:33:23.000That you must understand you aren't the center of the universe.
00:33:25.000It's not about what you want to do, it's what you ought to do.
00:33:27.000That we serve a perfect God and we submit to His will.
00:33:30.000And that you will go searching and seeking for quote-unquote your truth.
00:33:35.000And you will end up in a very dark place most likely.
00:33:37.000As soon as you realize that there is a divine order, that there's a cosmological truth above all of it, then all of a sudden life starts to have more meaning.
00:33:44.000You start to realize why you are here.
00:33:46.000You realize that you're not just a random clump of cells bouncing around University of Arizona.
00:33:50.000That you are created in the image of the divine.
00:33:56.000And that comes with obligations, responsibilities, and a destination.
00:33:59.000If you want to end depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, you want to end what's happening in this country, yes, we can talk about mental health all you want, but it is a spiritual sickness in this country at its foundation, and we need to have people give their life to Jesus.
00:34:42.000By the way, home ownership is a good thing for a country.
00:34:45.000When a nation is renting, you are subservient to somebody else.
00:34:50.000When you are owning, you are able to say, this is my land, I'm able to build value, create wealth, and that I have a stake in the country that I live in.
00:35:00.000Home ownership should be accessible to all Americans.
00:35:03.000However, what's happened, thanks to Kamala Harris, They've decided to spend $6 trillion unnecessarily, $200 billion of it on Ukraine, which therefore when you flood the zone with cheap money, asset prices go up.
00:35:16.000So when you have more of something, all of a sudden when you have a finite limited resource, those prices go up.
00:35:22.000To own a home in Arizona in 2020 when Donald Trump was president, you needed to earn $75,000 a year.
00:35:31.000Now that Kamala Harris is VP, want to become president, you need to be able to earn $135,000 a year for a single starter home in this country.
00:35:41.000Starter homes in the Valley and Phoenix have gone from an average of $450,000 a year to $600,000, not a year, $600,000.
00:35:51.000This is out of reach for many of you, because they are creating a nation where you will rent for the rest of your life.
00:35:56.000If Donald Trump becomes president, he will bring down the price of housing, he will bring up your wages and end inflation, and make home ownership achievable for everybody in this audience.
00:36:12.000We have a big heart, and we welcome immigrants that come here the right way and the legal way.
00:36:17.000But when you have Ten million people that come here uninvited as newcomers that broke our customs and you're competing against them from homes, prices go up.
00:36:33.000This is why sand is cheap and diamonds are expensive.
00:36:37.000When you have a lot of something, it gets cheap.
00:36:40.000When you have a little of something, it gets more expensive.
00:36:43.000So Donald Trump will facilitate the largest ever deportation effort in this country to put Americans first and to prioritize legal immigration.
00:36:58.000When you have energy prices that go up, everything gets more expensive.
00:37:03.000It gets more expensive to get the lumber to go build a home, more expensive to get the windows there.
00:37:07.000The green energy policies of Kamala Harris are making you pay more at the pump, are making your groceries more expensive.
00:37:15.000Donald Trump will drill baby drill, bring down the price of gas, and make it more achievable for you guys to be able to afford basic necessities.
00:37:21.000We need a president who understands how the economy works.
00:37:31.000you First sign of how things could get much worse when you look at the last three and a half years and how Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and all of their spokespersons have been patting themselves on the back for years saying how great Bidenomics is as the cost of living has gone up, as inflation has gotten worse, as the dollar is worth less and less.
00:37:53.000They refuse to listen to you and understand the reality of the struggles of your life and instead look at each other and say, well, gosh, if only the American people knew what a great job we were doing, then we would be more popular.
00:38:06.000If only we messaged this differently, everything would be better.
00:38:12.000They are so far out of touch with the reality of our everyday lives.
00:38:16.000That should be warning sign number one.
00:38:19.000Warning sign number two, their answer is to print more money.
00:38:23.000Without any care or regard for how it impacts us today and how it will impact us for generations to come.
00:38:30.000The biggest suspense that we have is money going over to places like Ukraine.
00:38:36.000They just sent another couple hundred million dollars yesterday.
00:38:41.000We look at Kamala Harris' solution to many of the challenges that we've brought up today and that Charlie has talked about.
00:38:49.000Oh, well, I'll just give you $25,000 to put towards a down payment.
00:38:52.000You talk to any realtor, and I've talked to a lot, or you find them on social media, every single one says all that's going to do is drive up the cost of housing.
00:39:02.000They say, okay, you're getting 25 grand from the government.
00:39:33.000Her answer to everything is print more money, hand out money, whether it's for forgivable loans or to pay off other people's college debts, not recognizing or understanding the direct implications of that and how much worse it will make our economic environment.
00:39:51.000And just said succinctly to your question that I didn't answer, She will lead us into a Great Depression, the likes of which is hard to comprehend.
00:39:59.000We're about to hit some very, very tough economic waters.
00:40:08.000Hi, I'm a freshman here at the U of A and I have a very, my roommate is born and raised as a Democrat and we obviously have very different views.
00:40:25.000We normally just avoid the topic, but as we're getting closer to the election, I really don't think that is something that I can do anymore.
00:40:32.000What do you recommend I bring up, and how do you recommend that candlest situation?
00:40:35.000And do you also have any good talking points that would spark your interest in learning more about the conservative movement?
00:40:41.000I would just encourage you to ask your roommate what are the things that she's thinking about and that she cares about as she's thinking about who she wants to vote for.
00:40:49.000If she says, well, I have to vote for Kamala because she's a Democrat, encourage her to go a little deeper.
00:40:55.000None of us, none of us, and I would never ask anyone to be a blind follower of any group or any party of any kind.
00:41:04.000I'd find out what are the things that she really cares about and use that as the opportunity where if she says, well, you know, I'm worried about women's rights.
00:41:12.000Maybe you can share a little bit about some of the things that we're talking about here today.
00:41:15.000The economy, the border, security, crime, safe communities, peace and war.
00:41:21.000There is such a huge contrast on all of these...
00:41:24.000Freedom of speech and censorship that allows us to disagree in public in the way that we sometimes do.
00:41:40.000Hello, Charlie, and my name is Josiah Jackson.
00:41:43.000I'm a biosystems engineering student here at the University of Arizona, and I'm currently focusing on controlled environment agriculture.
00:41:50.000How can we maximize the agricultural output for set resources?
00:41:54.000And I sit on the AgriLife Council and lead a student organization that builds those systems and that provides the food for the campus pantry.
00:42:01.000So my specific question for you guys is while the environmentalism movement and the Green Deal and all that stuff is primarily focused on the left party, what is your guys' perspectives on the continued funding and subsidizing of research what is your guys' perspectives on the continued funding and subsidizing of research that would maximize agricultural yield for the in need areas of the United States, like North Carolina, like Arizona, where we have limited water where we have limited water use in a sector of research that's primarily dominated by the Democratic Party?
00:42:55.000We also love people, and we believe that people exist in the environment, and that when there is a decision to be made of people get harmed because you want to have some unknown Delta smelt survive in central California, then that's not good for people.
00:43:10.000However, it's important to know that Donald Trump's record on the environment is one of his Wins, that does not get credit.
00:43:15.000In fact, carbon emissions went down during the Trump administration.
00:43:18.000Natural gas exploration went up, which is very, very good for the environment.
00:43:21.000Donald Trump believed in free market principles that allowed more entrepreneurs to invest in cleaner and more renewable ways for us to do energy.
00:43:29.000He just did not believe in a heavy hand of subsidies to do it.
00:43:32.000Do you want to talk about that, Tulsi?
00:43:34.000The farm bill that goes through Congress every five years is one of the most massive pieces of legislation that gets through, and it covers so much, unfortunately, that very little has to do with how do we better grow healthy food to feed Americans in our country.
00:43:52.000I'll give you one quick example because this was one of the first votes that I took as a member of Congress in 2013 when the Farm Bill was coming around, and I was shocked that we had to vote on this, but there was an amendment to the Farm Bill that came through that would have allowed frozen pizzas to qualify for the fruit and vegetable nutritional requirement in the food pyramid in our public schools.
00:44:14.000I thought this was like a prank or something.
00:44:17.000So we're going to vote to have frozen pizza meet the fruit and vegetable requirement, but this is the kind of thing that gets into the farm bill that benefits, obviously, some of the biggest mass-produced food corporations that are more interested in profits and don't care about the fact that they're poisoning people.
00:44:33.000So this is something that Bobby Kennedy is very focused on in the Make America Healthy Again movement of growing healthy food...
00:44:41.000To feed people so we can have a healthy America again.
00:44:44.000Thank you so much for what you're doing.
00:45:26.000So I was 21 when I first ran for office.
00:45:28.000I've been in and out of different public offices.
00:45:30.000My goal was never to have a political career or a business, so to speak.
00:45:34.000Really, my heart is committed to finding ways where I can best be of service to God and to the people of this country.
00:45:42.000And when I was 21, that's where I saw the opportunity to do that.
00:45:46.000I ran for Congress when I was 31 after I'd been deployed twice to the Middle East with the Army.
00:45:52.000I've been told throughout my life so many times, you're too young, you're too inexperienced, why don't you wait 20 years and then go back and try again?
00:46:02.000And respectfully, with all of the aloha in my heart, I would smile and say thank you, but isn't it time that we have fresh new ideas and new energy in our government that actually is fighting for the people?
00:46:18.000So the one piece of advice that I always share with anyone who's thinking about running for office, whether it's the Board of Education or State Legislature or Congress or President, You don't have to go to an Ivy League school.
00:46:30.000You don't have to check some artificial boxes that some political pundit tells you you have to check.
00:46:36.000What's most important is your motivation, what's in your heart.
00:47:42.000For more information, go to no-on3.com.
00:47:46.000Vote against the legalization of marijuana.
00:47:51.000Hey Charlie, my name is Jacob, and my question for you is, do you touch paper receipts, and how can I avoid this wave of estrogen spreading among young males?
00:48:03.000I mean, you're half trolling, but I try to not have any estrogenic, let's just say, forces on my body.
00:48:32.000I have three kids, but I have been alienated from my kids.
00:48:36.000I see my two sons only one weekend a month.
00:48:40.000It's been a five-year battle since my divorce that I've been trying to get back in my kids' lives, and I've been hearing you talk about how the statistics show that not having a father in the home leads to so many different negative things in their lives.
00:48:55.000What can government do to help fathers get more time with their children or even keep families together and promote the nuclear family?
00:49:11.000And because I'd imagine there's court orders that you have to abide by, right?
00:49:15.000So I guess the best piece of advice I could give is the time you have with your kids, really lean into it and really cherish it and you have to maximize it.
00:49:23.000Look, there's a whole father's rights movement that has been going around for quite some time, and I think it deserves a fair hearing because there are a lot of dads that deserve and want more time with their kids, and they're not able to have it.
00:49:34.000And so, unfortunately and tragically, half of all marriages in this country end in divorce, which means there's a lot of broken families and relationships.
00:50:18.000There is a self-righteousness and an arrogance towards the American body politic where they just want your vote and they could not care about your well-being.
00:50:29.000This is why they hate Donald Trump so much, everybody, because he has brought you into the room.
00:50:35.000He has involved you in the process, and he's given you a voice.
00:50:41.000You're supposed to just fill out the ballot and shut up every couple years and keep on giving them power.
00:50:47.000And so it used to be in this country, if the middle class was suffering, our leaders would worry, and then they would go deliver results for the American people.
00:50:57.000Let me tell you even more concretely, This audience, Republican or Democrat, if you are under the age of 30, you are the first generation since George Washington to have it worse off than your parents.
00:51:47.000The social contract is broken because the leaders don't care.
00:51:51.000Now, I could go deeper into policy if you'd like, but that is the fundamental through line as to why you are now part of a vanishing middle class.
00:52:00.000One thing that goes along with that arrogance that you're seeing, largely from the Democrat elite in Washington, is this idea that, well, we know what's better for you than you do for yourselves, for your family, and for your kids, so let us make the decisions.
00:52:16.000Let us tell you what you're allowed to say and do.
00:52:19.000Let us tell you how you're supposed to raise your children.
00:52:22.000Or better yet, just let the government do it, and you just step aside.
00:52:28.000I've had, when I was in Congress, a number of people would come in and talk to me and meet with me and warn me about this rise of populism that was happening during President Trump's first administration.
00:52:39.000And they're terrified of that, this rise of populism.
00:52:42.000And you're seeing it happening in different countries around the world.
00:52:45.000Because the Democrat elite are not alone here.
00:52:47.000The permanent Washington are not alone here.
00:52:51.000The rise of the people making our voices heard saying, if you don't represent us, we're going to fire you and send you home.
00:53:00.000That is their worst nightmare and why we're seeing them throw everything in the kitchen sink at Donald Trump to try to keep him off the ballot, to try to throw him in jail, unfortunately to try to even assassinate him.
00:53:12.000Because they recognize that he has brought voice and is listening to the people and is promising to fight for us.
00:53:21.000We are only powerful if we use our voices now and when we cast our votes.
00:53:27.000If we don't do that, which they hope we won't, Amen.
00:55:05.000With Donald Trump in 2020, it was 10,000 votes that determined the entire state.
00:55:10.000So this room alone, if everyone voted for Trump, could account For nearly 18% of the entire vote margin in 2020.
00:55:19.000Your vote matters, and you need to make a plan to vote.
00:55:21.000Secondly, you need to go find people that are, ah, I don't know if I'm going to go vote, and you need to get in their eyes and repeat what you heard tonight, and you need to get them out to the polls and vote.
00:55:29.000You need to find five people, ten people.
00:55:31.000That is your mission, that is your purpose, because we're up against billions of dollars, everybody.
00:55:35.000We're up against the most entrenched machines.
00:55:37.000You have to do the work to save the country.
00:55:43.000We appreciate you being here in Tucson.
00:55:44.000I'm a board native here, Michael Vasquez, and you just recently met my son in North Carolina, and I want to thank you for your support there.
00:55:51.000He was part of a task force going into Chimney Rock and Lake Lur, and we appreciate everything you've done.
00:56:26.000We're in touch on a daily multiple calls.
00:56:29.000I have a nonprofit called We Must Protect.
00:56:31.000We're providing support Two groups that Ryan and others who are either on active duty and taking leave or those who are veterans are filling the gap in the failures of government.
00:56:42.000We're in touch with them and deploying.
00:56:45.000We're sending people out and getting them the supplies they need.
00:56:48.000The active duty component, 101st, 82nd, they made a tremendous impact, unfortunately, because of state politics.
00:56:56.000I just talked to a two-star general yesterday, and he said they told us to go home.
00:57:02.000There are people still in towns in Western North Carolina who have not seen anyone from any government agency, who have lost their homes, their vehicles, every piece of clothing that they have, every belonging that they have, but this is their home.
00:57:19.000There's tremendous work that's being done on the ground by organizations like Samaritan's Purse, the Savage Freedom Operations crew.
00:57:27.000Look them up online if you haven't heard of them.
00:57:29.000They are literally saving people's lives.
00:57:32.000They are asking for cadaver dogs because there are dead bodies that they are still recovering.
00:57:37.000They are doing everything they possibly can, but there are incredible limitations because of the failures of FEMA. The Harris-Biden administration and Governor Roy Cooper, who, I hate to be, these things should not be partisan, but he is a Democrat who has not gone out there and made sure that every single North Carolinian life matters.
00:58:01.000We got to keep lifting these people up in our prayers and providing them with all of our support because it's getting cold out there and they still desperately need a whole lot of help.
00:58:14.000Alright, yes ma'am, you have the final question.
00:58:17.000Hi, my name is Alyssa and I wanted to talk about white privilege.
00:58:23.000I just wanted to know your opinion on it and see if you think it's a thing because I feel like nowadays it's not a thing and a lot of people think it still is.
00:58:32.000Like as I was applying for school and scholarships, there were so many scholarships for African Americans and Hispanics and all that and there was nothing for White.
00:58:40.000And I just, like, with all the, like, feminists nowadays, everyone says that, like, white men have it the best, but really they have no one supporting them nowadays.
00:58:55.000And I just wanted to know, like, what your opinion was on that.
00:58:58.000I'll start with the end of the question.
00:59:01.000And look, no group should ever be targeted, stereotyped, or prejudiced against based on their immutable characteristics, their skin color, or your chromosomes, period.
00:59:10.000But unfortunately, there is a subtext that it's okay to kind of crap on white men in this country.
00:59:16.000And I think right now that we're seeing a lot of people...
00:59:21.000Of all backgrounds and skin colors, agree.
00:59:23.000I will just, I will, I've been on the record about the white privilege stuff, which I think it's far overblown and doesn't exist.
00:59:29.000I will say about other political context, though, I think is really important, because we're here to talk about the election, is that what Donald Trump stands for.
00:59:35.000Donald Trump stands for meritocracy, not race-based admissions to our institutions.
00:59:40.000Donald Trump believes the most qualified person should get the job.
00:59:43.000Not the person that fits a specific criteria of a race, sex, gender box that fits some sort of woke DEI category.
00:59:51.000Donald Trump wants your surgeon to be the best surgeon, someone that graduated the top of their school, not someone that just happened to be hired because You need to fill some sort of a quota.
01:00:01.000We are a country that has done excellent things under the belief that skin color does not matter and what you do and how you act absolutely matters.
01:00:10.000And Donald Trump will restore that belief in all forms of government.
01:00:14.000And it will start with no DEI, no critical race theory, and putting merit back in how we hire in our federal government.
01:00:30.000The most precious thing that any one of us has in our lives that we can give is time.
01:00:36.000It's the one thing that we can never take back.
01:00:39.000You've chosen to spend your time here with us tonight, and I want to thank you for that.
01:00:48.000We have 19 days and a wake-up until Election Day.
01:00:54.000Your votes and those you bring with you, Charlie said bring five, bring ten people, your votes could change the course of our country forever and humanity.
01:01:08.000This is the most important election of my lifetime.
01:01:14.000And when you think things get hard, When sometimes maybe here at school when you speak up and you bring up a good point, or you try to speak the truth and people may call you names or criticize you, remember what's truly at stake.
01:01:29.000It is times like this that we need people of courage and strength to speak the truth, just like those female volleyball players are doing in Reno, Nevada.
01:01:39.000Because if we are not ready to fight for our country now, we will wake up and find that our country is gone.
