00:02:16.000As someone who's been doing these college tours for, I think you said 11 years, how do you prioritize spending time with your wife and your children?
00:02:28.000And this should tell you how important it is for me to be here tonight because I say no to like 99% of the speaking events and engagements that I get asked to go to.
00:02:38.000And so, and yeah, I mean, one of the life preservation tools that the Lord gives us. is he tells us in the Ten Commandments, for six days you shall work and for one day you shall rest.
00:02:50.000And so people ask if I'm Seventh-day Adventist.
00:03:51.000But anything that involves work, I don't read a newspaper, I don't visit a news website, I don't listen to a radio program.
00:03:56.000And so that's my only challenge to you is that your Sabbath, that if somebody walked into the day that you designate as your Sabbath, they should be able to see something different.
00:04:05.000In Hebrew, the word holy, so to keep the Sabbath holy is repeated over 10 times in the Old Testament.
00:04:10.000To keep holy means separate, it means distinct, it means different than.
00:04:15.000And so to keep it holy means that that day must look, feel, and act different than any other day of the week.
00:04:21.000So whatever that means for you, make it happen.
00:04:23.000Do something that you enjoy, that is restful, and most importantly, spend time with your family and do something that honors your Creator.
00:04:49.000The most important thing I would say, though, you have to agree politically, and you have to agree most important theologically and religiously.
00:04:57.000I do not believe in marriages where people say, I'm a conservative, I'm a liberal.
00:05:46.000It is shut down, and it's a great thing.
00:05:50.000Is try and not do that and not engage in that.
00:05:56.000I highly recommend that the sooner as a college student you understand, if it makes you feel good immediately, it comes with a price, and that price is heavier than that which you realize.
00:06:07.000So if it gives you a buzz of alcohol, again, I'm not trying to be overly legalistic, but the sooner you realize that the thing that gives you.
00:06:14.000The buzz instantaneously comes at a price.
00:06:18.000And I don't drink, don't do drugs, and that's the only way I'm able to keep the schedule that I keep and do what I'm able to do is because that stuff actually doesn't do anything for me.
00:06:25.000It actually leads a really shallow and empty life, and that's not something that I think is really interesting.
00:06:30.000In fact, I think that's kind of what losers do, they kind of just pursue the next instant gratification.
00:06:34.000I think the beautiful things actually come with delayed gratification in life where you delay the pleasure because you go for something that is greater than pleasure, which is hopefully glorifying God, which is greater than just making yourself feel good.
00:06:47.000As a man, try to become the most interesting person you can, and you will have to be the breadwinner and the income producer for your family.
00:06:54.000And so you need to take, before you get married or before you date, you need to make sure that if you date with the intention of marrying, because don't just date casually.0.96
00:07:01.000Dating casually is the stupidest thing ever.0.64
00:07:02.000You need to date with the intention to marry, that you can be able to support your wife and support a child.1.00
00:07:07.000And so you need to figure that out, whatever that is, right?
00:07:09.000Whatever you're studying, make sure that it can have a good payout in the end, and that you can comfortably be able to provide for your family, because that is the role of the man.
00:07:27.000Hi, I just wanted to start out by saying that I fully respect the work that you're doing here and respect the passion and intelligence that you have.
00:07:34.000There is no ignoring the issue that we have on the southern border, but I think it is fair that we acknowledge the root of this issue might be partly due to a broken immigration system that has not been updated in around 50 years.
00:07:44.000I stand here as living proof of the immigrant dream, the illegal immigrant dream, the American dream.
00:07:51.000It is very easy to say that illegal immigrants need to go back to their countries and their criminals when you are so far removed from the immigrant experience.
00:07:58.000Do you not think that making the immigration process, the legal immigration process, a little bit easier could not help solve some of these backlogging issues and giving people reasons for being denied when they are applying for visas or naturalization would not help solve this problem?
00:08:11.000Should people who are here legally, who have only come here to work for a better life for their children, who are only here to work hard and commit no crimes, have a chance of becoming legal without them being sent back to their countries?
00:08:24.000So yes, they should be sent back, but are you illegal or are your parents illegal?
00:09:40.000Can we not acknowledge the fact that my father, coming from a dirt poor farm community in Mexico, would have had zero opportunity to do so legally?0.99
00:09:50.000Well, but why does he have a right to come here in the first place?0.99
00:09:54.000You don't have a moral right to enter the United States.1.00
00:09:57.000Get in line like the Polish and the Irish and the Vietnamese.1.00
00:10:00.000So just because you live close, and I acknowledge that he came from a poor country.0.82
00:10:17.000So we could make that argument to let in 100 million people.0.91
00:10:20.000So is the argument that we should allow people that have a sob story, which is your father's case, entrance into our country when they were not invited?
00:10:32.000I think the work that my father has put into his life to become now a citizen and build a life for himself and be able to send his children to college would hardly be considered a sob story.
00:10:41.000You said he came from a dirt-poor country, which is an emotive sob story argument.
00:10:45.000But let me just ask another theoretical question.
00:10:48.000What should the penalty be for breaking and entering into a country illegally?
00:10:57.000I think that that is something that needs to be looked at as options to allow people who came here illegally, who have worked hard and who have not committed any crimes.0.94
00:11:16.000He broke USC. federal law that says you shall not enter the United States across the southern border without proper documentation or without proper entrance.
00:13:23.000He broke a federal law that says you cannot break into America.
00:13:27.000If someone came up here and they said, you know, my father broke into a bank or my father held up a grocery store, but he raised a beautiful child, I'd say, wait a second, did he ever serve prison time?
00:13:35.000And thank you for acknowledging you must apply the law regardless of how nice the story is.
00:13:43.000And so I will ask the question again, should we get rid of that law?
00:14:01.000On the Department of Homeland Security.
00:14:03.000Do we understand how many applications are backlogged?
00:14:06.000When you're denied applications, you are giving no reason for why your application is being denied to the country.
00:14:11.000You don't have a right to come here, though.
00:14:12.000Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars for having no idea why your application is being denied to the country because you have no other choice.
00:16:21.000They should have to face some sort of application if they want the legal rights of being in this country.1.00
00:16:28.000I think that there needs to be some kind of reform to look at their situations and see what, because getting rid of 5 million immigrants or however many immigrants that are here illegally in this country would have drastic implications for the economy.1.00
00:16:40.000I'm talking about just the five in the last couple years.
00:16:42.000But what implications for the economy?
00:16:43.000But if we're going to look at the 30 million people that are here illegally, if we were to get rid of all of them right now, this is not a racist slur.1.00
00:16:49.000Our construction industry in this country would, Be absolutely deteriorated.0.84
00:17:10.000We would have higher wages, we would have less crime, we would have less drug trafficking into this country, and again, if these people build such a beautiful life like your father, why couldn't they do that back in Mexico?0.90
00:17:25.000If he's like contributes so beautifully, go back to Mexico and enrich that country.0.86
00:17:31.000Because he was not lucky enough to be born in a country where he had those opportunities.
00:17:37.000We are all lucky enough to just be born here.
00:17:40.000We have no idea what it's like to want a better life for your children when you have no other options.
00:17:45.000A lot of people here have been born poor and have worked really hard.
00:18:18.000If your position is to get rid of the law, that is a position that people in this country have.0.59
00:18:23.000I'm going to say that ceasing to abide by The American immigration code, which is we should know and have control over who comes into this country, then you're not a country.0.94
00:18:33.000You're just kind of a territory, and whoever wants to come can come.0.92
00:18:37.000And that would be the end of the United States of America.
00:19:56.000But I do want to start off by saying earlier I was outside protesting, as I usually do on campus, with a sign that says, tear the fascists down.
00:20:03.000Now, for those who don't know what fascism is, it's an ideology associated with Nazism.
00:20:07.000As I had this sign not affiliated to anybody, I had a group of individuals come up to me saying openly they were fascists attending your event and called me the F word while I had it.
00:20:28.000But people who openly call themselves fascists are here and are not afraid to admit they are fascists.
00:20:35.000So my question is, will you denounce fascism today as the definition online puts it as an ideology including racial nationalism and authoritarianism today?
00:21:35.000Joseph Stalin was an authoritarian leader who definitely killed millions of Ukrainians during the export of grain to, of course, build up their economy.
00:21:42.000You don't think there's anything about the ideology that leads to the suffering, impoverishing, or the murdering?0.54
00:21:46.000No, just like how Hitler called himself a socialist, it's not the ideology, it's just what you actually do at practice.
00:21:52.000Yes, he did call himself a socialist, but he was not a Marxist.
00:23:42.000So even though the hammer and sickle and core Marxist ideology has been invoked repeatedly by these leaders, you're saying, no, no, no, not a Marxist.
00:23:55.000Over 100 times it has been tried on every single continent from Mugabe in Rhodesia, which became Zimbabwe, to parts of India, to China, to Korea, to parts of Eastern Europe, to Central and South America.
00:24:12.000To Venezuela, none of that is Marxist, even though they say they're Marxist.
00:24:17.000Well, it's tampering with Marxism because you have sanctions and you bomb their countries.
00:24:21.000So, I mean, if you want to call that Marxism, then if you sanction and bomb them, I guess that's Marxism.
00:24:26.000Wait, so how have we sanctioned and bombed these Marxists?
00:25:53.000That's why only someone that has, and with all possible due respect, an infant understanding of human nature can think communism can work, because we're self-interested at our core.
00:26:04.000And you have an economic system that is built not on private property, but on quote-unquote shared goods.
00:26:09.000You're going to have a dictator on top of it that is going to exploit and terrorize.
00:26:14.000And so you started this conversation by asking me to denounce fascism, which is responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths, said ideology.
00:26:24.000I'm pleading you one more time to denounce Marxism that is responsible for minimum 100 to 120 million deaths.
00:26:32.000Okay, academics have proven that wrong.
00:26:50.000So, I can keep on going, right, if you want to talk famine, impoverishing, lowering of standard of living.
00:26:56.000What I want to just reiterate as we close this out, there's this pathological fascination with fascism, fascism, fascism, and a complete ignoring that Marxism, which is the other side of the authoritarian coin, has been far deadlier, far more costly, and is far more popular.
00:27:27.000Okay, the only way I would possibly agree with that is the left-wing fascists that shut up People on campuses and allow you know try to stop freedom of speech but What it's just I I'm I'm perplexed by your position and your inability and your unwillingness to denounce denounce Marxism I don't know how many I mean another hundred million people dead.
00:27:48.000Maybe you'd change your mind Thank you.
00:28:04.000Thank you for coming to speak on our campus.
00:28:08.000So in America, we have a huge problem to where additives and preservatives are put in our foods, contributing to cancer and neurological disorders in children.
00:28:20.000So as a conservative, how do you believe the FDA should be regulated or reformed to improve health for all Americans?
00:28:31.000Boy, first of all, People need to go to jail for what they did during COVID at the FDA and the CDC.
00:28:36.000I don't have a great technical policy answer, but the FDA is basically purchased by Big Ag, and we need to divest from high fructose corn syrup.
00:28:50.000It's one of the great poisons that is creating obesity in this country.
00:28:55.000And cancer rates are way up, and we don't know why.
00:28:57.000And it's the Food and Drug Administration's, especially for young people, by the way, it's crazy.
00:29:02.000And, you know, as conservatives, we're pro-business, but we shouldn't be slaves to business.
00:29:07.000And we should really worry about, okay, so this younger generation is the most suicidal, most alcohol-addicted, most drug-addicted, most anxious, most depressed generation in history.
00:29:18.000And it's also, we have the most obese country we've ever seen.
00:29:21.000Isn't that kind of what the FDA and the CDC exist to try to address?
00:29:25.000And instead, the FDA is, you know, they're like flirting on like DEI, like how racism impacts, you know, food, like, selections.
00:29:34.000Yeah, look, I think it's not overly complicated.
00:29:38.000We need to blow up the food triangle that we teach every single kid.
00:29:43.000We are far too reliant and pushing of carbohydrates and cheap carbohydrates, especially like cereal and bread.
00:29:52.000And we are not as pushing of lean proteins and fats.
00:29:56.000There's three types of food protein, fats, carbohydrates.
00:29:58.000Everything falls into those three things.
00:31:01.000In fact, you can reject processed foods and eat whole foods.
00:31:04.000And, I mean, there's a list of, like, the worst things you could possibly eat.
00:31:07.000And Americans are, like, the top consumers of those.
00:31:10.000But I feel as even our whole foods are being they're poisoned too.
00:31:16.000They are poisoned as well through pesticides being put into the soil during planting and as well as stripping, let's say for bread example, stripping the weeds of its just natural components.
00:31:35.000I guess bleached flour would be the best way to put it.
00:32:27.000Anyways, the real question is if you had a power to change the mind of every single liberal, One political issue, what would it be and why?
00:32:38.000If I had the power to change our mind on one issue, very simple.
00:32:42.000I believe if I could get every single liberal to believe that there was a God and they were not God, the country would be a much better place.
00:33:08.000How was the U.S. government able to fund its spending before the federal income tax was implemented, and would going back to that still be functional with how much the U.S. has grown since then?
00:33:18.000Well, we used to fund it through tariffs, mostly.
00:33:21.000And government was a lot smaller, and we ran into a problem with World War I because we wanted to be able to fund our incursion into World War I, and so we had to also simultaneously pass the Federal Reserve Act, which basically allowed us to print money on demand, which started a 100-year cycle for us to be able to open up the money supply whenever we want.
00:33:40.000And you're living at the last gasp of basically cheap money and fiat currency.
00:33:45.000So you cannot get back to funding the government with lower taxes and or keeping more of your stuff if you don't actually first fix the currency.
00:33:54.000And the Federal Reserve is turning out to be a disaster for working men and women of this country.
00:34:00.000If you do not have assets, you get 10% poor every year right now, minimum.
00:34:16.000So is there anything that we could do that if we were to abolish the federal income tax that would get us back to a stronger economy and keeping more of our stuff?
00:34:26.000Yeah, I mean, the problem is we just have so much government to pay for.
00:34:29.000We have a $6 trillion federal budget, and we're not even reaching that, right?
00:34:32.000So we're borrowing about $2.5 to $3 trillion.
00:34:35.000We're borrowing almost half, not quite, almost half of the entire federal budget every single year.
00:34:40.000I would love to be able to abolish the income tax and get rid of the IRS, but we have to significantly cut government spending.
00:34:45.000We have way too much government spending in this country.
00:34:48.000Government is too big, and government used to be a lot smaller, and that's why I kind of started with Texas, is that the spirit of Texas used to be kind of almost no government.
00:34:57.000It was the spirit of the West, is you take care of yourself, and so I'd love to get back to that.
00:35:23.000Well, lately I wanted to truly find my faith because I didn't know if in my heart I believed in God or not.
00:35:29.000And so I went around from church to church and person to person or different backgrounds trying to figure out what they believed and why.
00:35:35.000And I've heard countless arguments everywhere and all sorts of reasons they believe, why they believe their faith.
00:35:41.000But now I'm going to admit I'm more confused than I've ever been in my life because everyone claims to have a different answer and several different reasons why.
00:35:49.000I wanted to believe that there's a creator and I might have a purpose, but now I don't know what to believe in, if anything at all.
00:35:54.000So what can I or someone else like me do to deal with severe doubts and uncertainty in spiritual guidance, finding meaning, and trying to find the truth?
00:36:02.000First of all, God bless you for the courage to come up and ask that question.
00:37:03.000The idea that we even have reason is a belief that there is a creator because it's such an incomprehensible sort of idea.
00:37:11.000American Christianity gets wrong, though, is that they refuse to ever tell you about the wrath that is awaiting you in the next life, and they only tell you that your life is going to dramatically improve in the short term.
00:37:24.000So, in the scriptures we learn, especially in the Decalogue, the Ten Commandments, basically the Ten Rules for Life.0.71
00:37:30.000And if you study it very closely, you realize that you break a lot of those commandments sometimes on a daily basis.
00:37:37.000And so, the more you study the law, the law teaches you about the nature of sin and it points you to Christ.
00:37:43.000So, here's a beautiful question during Holy Week.
00:37:45.000This week we remember that it wasn't just a cool dude, it wasn't just a motivational speaker, it wasn't just a good figure in history, but we as Christians believe God incarnate.
00:37:56.000Took human flesh to dwell among us, live a perfect life, die an unjust death, after doing amazing miracles, performing an incredible ministry, doing things that changed the world forever, died and rose again on the third day, which we celebrate on Sunday.
00:38:12.000Now, the significance of this is I could give you a million different reasons why that is compelling, right?
00:38:18.000The fact that we have four different accounts and using historical type analysis, we do not have anything close to that kind of analysis of any sort of historical events that are thousands of years old.
00:38:29.000I could give you the argument that it was.
00:38:32.000So if you were going to make up after he rose from the dead, so if you were going to make something up, why would you have the resurrection story with female witnesses?
00:38:39.000I can go through all the different stories about how there's never been an archaeological discovery that's contradicted the truth of the Bible.
00:38:44.000But here's the final thing is you need to just open up your heart more than all that.
00:38:49.000And so that's the most important thing.
00:38:51.000And it's only going to happen through prayer.
00:38:53.000And it's going to happen through God, are you real?
00:38:59.000And I could do all that other stuff, but I could tell you this, that there is a creator.
00:39:03.000And he left us his word as living evidence to show us exactly how to live, what he's done, the purpose for all of us.
00:39:12.000And I can understand that you're confused, but understand that there might be a million different answers of how they see the universe, but there's only one truth and there's only one life.
00:39:20.000And this Holy Week, my prayer for you is that you'll consider and welcome Jesus Christ into your heart, who will transform you and will save you from the wrath that is to come and save you from what happens because we cannot live under God's perfect and pleasing will.

00:41:01.000See why so many believers are taking a leap of faith?
00:41:04.000Start today by visiting chministries.orgslash Charlie and use promo code Charlie for a 50% cost.
00:41:43.000But I wanted to talk about abortion, something that's very, very, it sucks, and I hate it, and I wish that we could make it illegal right now.0.93
00:41:54.000I am curious as to see how you're going to respond with the foster care system because it's a very broken system, and I know there's a lot of women that just give up their babies and they don't have anywhere to go.
00:42:10.000So my question is, what are the steps to take for such? systems and should we make abortion illegal first, then the foster care system to take care after that or how should we go?
00:42:20.000Yeah, so the foster care system is too hard to navigate.
00:42:23.000My solution is not loved by the left, which is I think that Christian ministries and churches should help facilitate the adoption of children as a kind of a easier clearinghouse than the government.
00:42:36.000There are a million abortions in this country every single year.
00:42:39.000There are two million couples on the adoption waiting list.
00:42:43.000I think it needs to be all simultaneous and we also Hopefully, we can try to make abortion an unthinkable act in this country and one that is harder and harder to do.
00:42:51.000You guys here in West Texas have done a great job of that, and you guys should be really encouraged for your heroism and your bravery in that regard.
00:42:59.000but the rest of the country is leaning more into abortion more so than ever before, and it's happening in a horrific way.
00:43:06.000But, yes, as far as the foster care system, the only issue I have, it needs to be done in a way where you cannot allow predators an easier way to get their hands on children, because a lot of people still game the foster care system.
00:44:55.000And I could tell you that if you are saving yourself for marriage, you become a very, very attractive individual for men where all they see is OnlyFans girls walking all over the place and these digital prostitutes that are willing to sell themselves for $10 a month.
00:45:11.000And so, which it is, it's digital prostitution if you have an OnlyFans page, right?0.76
00:45:15.000And by the way, for those of you that are men that have OnlyFans accounts, you're no better than the girls that are selling bodies, by the way.0.60
00:45:22.000You're subsidizing modern day digital prostitution.
00:46:05.000And my question for you is do you believe that the 2020 election was rigged?
00:46:10.000And if so, what can people who do not support Biden do to prevent it from happening again without stooping to the level? of radical leftists that we hate so much?
00:46:39.000Well, first, the one that we can all agree upon that we don't talk about enough, it was rigged through information warfare.
00:46:45.000One particular element was the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:46:48.000We were not allowed to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop on social media, on Twitter, on Facebook.
00:46:53.000The New York Post lost access to their Twitter account.
00:46:56.000In fact, it was so bad that 50 former Intel agency officials came out and they said that the Hunter Biden laptop was hallmark Russian disinformation, which then was used as a reason to censor this entire story.
00:47:09.000That very well could have been a decisive.
00:47:11.000In fact, polling shows that could have tilted the 2020 election to get Donald Trump reelected in 2020.
00:47:19.000Not to mention all of the collusion between the FBI and Facebook, the Central Intelligence Agency, Five Eyes.
00:47:26.000And so they used all this different censorship.
00:47:29.000through information warfare to stop dissident voices that we have now proven.
00:47:34.000Second part of rigging is you had $400 million from Mark Zuckerberg that was pumped in to urban centers across the country through the Center for Technology and Civic Life that created these drop boxes that allowed mass mail-in voting to continue and to be really, really widespread.
00:47:52.000People need to be held criminally accountable for what they did in the 2020 election because it was a drive-by shooting for the U.S. Constitution.
00:48:00.000There's the mail in ballots, which is we had a lot of shenanigans and activity.
00:48:03.000This is harder to prove in a court of law, but we know that this occurred, that we have mass universal voter registration, tons of mail in ballots that were sent all over.
00:48:12.000We did not have robust signature verification.
00:48:14.000We had days and days and days where they're counting the ballots, and people's faith and integrity in that system went down.
00:48:22.000Number one, Twitter has new ownership now, thankfully, and I think it's one of the reasons why we have a fighting chance to compete in November.
00:48:31.000Number two, This is why, albeit I'm a very big critic of Speaker Johnson at times, I have him coming on the show in a couple days, we have to make sure that we all of a sudden don't hand over the gavel to Speaker Jeffries because we need the ability to have oversight hearings in the middle of the election if we believe any of these tech companies are interfering with our ability to basically have the 2024 election operate without the narrative being interrupted.
00:48:56.000And then finally, the mail-in ballot thing is the toughest question.
00:48:59.000Wisconsin has mightily changed their laws, Georgia a little bit, Arizona is still kind of a mess.
00:49:04.000But we have to play with the rules in front of us, which is why at Turning Point Action, we're kind of taking the cough medicine.
00:49:12.000We realize it's not the best thing for us, but we're going to do it.
00:49:15.000We're hiring hundreds of full time on the ground ballot chasers to go chase early ballots, and we're going to try to use the rules that they have built against them to, God willing, get towards victory in November.
00:49:26.000So no guarantees, but we're going to try our best.
00:50:59.000But I would just tell your friends, like, let's not just, let's not poll watch, you know, let's see what the final result is because you could drive yourself crazy because some polls show that Donald Trump is up.
00:51:34.000So I've seen you on Instagram and all those people that are censoring your speech because my job actually did that because I posted something on Instagram against Palestine and someone told my boss about that and I got removed.
00:53:02.000The reason my question is about TikTok, because I use TikTok as a platform to reach fans.0.83
00:53:08.000And I've heard on the news everything going on with TikTok being shut down because China and the CC is stealing all the information and stuff and using that to take our identities and stuff.
00:53:37.000I think it's societal poison, and I'm glad you're benefiting from it, because someone should.0.97
00:53:41.000I have been banned from that darn platform so many times for hate speech violations.0.88
00:53:47.000We put up very basic videos, and so we're at war with them constantly.0.93
00:53:52.000With that being said, and I could go on about all the negatives that TikTok has literally shortened the attention span of young people.1.00
00:54:00.000It has been the introductory vessel for the trans ideology in this country.0.97
00:54:06.000And his getting younger and younger people introduced the idea of gender dysphoria, which leads to their disfiguration and chemical castration.0.97
00:54:14.000Side note, any doctor, because I know there's a big medical center here, any doctor that butchers a child under transgender care should go to jail for the rest of their life, period.0.78
00:54:29.000So, with that being said, I actually oppose this bill because I don't trust the government and I don't trust all of a sudden speeding this bill through Congress because I think it's going to be used against us.
00:54:40.000I think that it will be used to censor us.
00:54:51.000They've banned me, again, as I've said so many times.
00:54:53.000But with that being said, I would rather not give that power to the Biden regime to be able to censor our social media, to be able to demand that they're sold.
00:55:01.000Way too much power that I don't want to give.
00:55:04.000And the other reason is we're starting to see the golden era of the Internet reemerge.
00:55:08.000Again, I'm not on TikTok, but I'm told that conservatives and Trump supporters are doing very, very well on TikTok.
00:55:54.000So, me personally, I'm a young, young adult.
00:55:57.000I'm in the service, and I have my wife here with me, and we're about to have a kid.
00:56:01.000So, yeah, you see, now we're back here.
00:56:06.000Yeah, so it's going to be my, obviously, you know, it's going to be my first kid.
00:56:10.000I'm nervous like a normal parent, but one of the biggest things that's, you know, things that's raining on my conscious as I'm about to be a dad, you know, Is just the environment I'm raising my kid in.0.75
00:56:20.000So, like, I was lucky to be born in a time where it was less, you know, chaotic with all these, like, gender this, gender that, LGBT, ABCD, whatever you want to call it.
00:56:29.000Like, all that stuff was not as relevant when I was growing up, but my kid, you know, is about to come into a time where I feel like we're fighting to know what man and woman is.0.75
00:56:38.000And that's something that's, like, super basic to me growing up.
00:56:41.000So, like, me as a dad, the last thing I want to do is to hear my, you know, my son come back to me saying, hey, dad, I'm going to a college to hear about what a man and woman is, even though, you know, 15 years down the line, I'm like, yeah, I did that back when I was.
00:56:53.000So, like, that's my biggest question is like, how do I have the confidence in knowing that the life that I'm about to bring into this world is something that I can at least control to some point?
00:57:03.000You know, God controls everything, but something I can control at some point where I don't have him going, you know, having to fight these trials or these weird people out here.
00:57:53.000There are infants and the protectors of infants.
00:57:55.000You fall into one of those three categories.
00:57:57.000So you're about to welcome an infant into the world.
00:58:00.000Your job is to protect the infant from the predators.
00:58:03.000And the predators take many different forms through groomers, through social media toxins, through criminals, through all these different things.
00:58:11.000And especially as the head of the household, the male, you must constantly be looking at the threats, right?
00:58:17.000You must constantly be looking at the attack vectors because there is a growing, unregulated, unchecked community of predators in this country that are coming after children younger and younger and younger.
00:58:32.000They're in our schools, they're in our society, and it's you as the father to instill values from a very young age.
00:58:38.000So, I'm by no means an expert, but I could tell you this.
00:58:41.000I've seen over many years parents that have brought their kids to turning point events, parents that have exposed their kids to these ideas, and it bears fruit.
00:58:50.000The earlier you introduce them to these ideas, the earlier you get them excited about Jesus and the Word and the Scriptures.
00:58:55.000And the final thing is the creepy thing that I've learned, not creepy, is how much even an 18 month memory mimics the parent's behavior and how much that they are in the mold.
00:59:05.000Everything you do, from what you say to how you act, it's not as if there's enough pressure already on you, right?
01:00:58.000Hello, my name's Carly, and like everyone else has said, thank you for coming.0.99
01:01:04.000So, as a woman who has played sports ever since I was a little girl, went to play Division I basketball in college, what is the cure to the problem of transgender playing college and women's sports?0.97
01:01:22.000The men of this country need to demand that biological men will never, ever. be able to compete in female sports again.1.00
01:01:29.000We need to draw a line, and this is unacceptable.0.96
01:01:37.000They are narcissists, they're cheats, they got deep-seated mental problems, and they need counseling, and they don't need us to reaffirm their gender dysphoria so they can cheat their way to victory in weightlifting and swimming, in wrestling.1.00
01:01:51.000Then finally, this is a harder ask, but female athletes need to start to do massive boycotts.0.93
01:01:58.000And I know this is a big ask, but we need to get to a place where if a biological man is competing against females in a championship or in a consequential sporting event, the biological women just say, we're not competing.0.99
01:03:25.000First of all, you're acting as if it's a problem.
01:03:27.000Okay, Mr. Thomas, you can use whatever name you want, just swim with the boys.
01:03:32.000You could call yourself a girl, swim with the boys.0.98
01:03:36.000If you win, which you won't because you're not very good, we'll say that you're a transgender swimmer.1.00
01:03:40.000Oh, so we have to reconfigure the entire sporting process for a fringe minority.1.00
01:03:49.000So we can no longer have standards of excellence with just females.0.99
01:03:53.000We now have to insult all the women that have worked their life to become the best in their sport or their craft so that somebody who has higher testosterone, more bone density, higher muscle mass, more lung capacity can scoot on over and cheat themselves to victory.
01:04:08.000The NCAA, they're facing some big lawsuits, and they're going to be judged in history for their cowardice and their silence and turning their back on women.
01:04:50.000And, I mean, you kind of look at, I could name three people that wouldn't be considered cool that could draw bigger crowds than, like, your everyday rapper.
01:04:58.000Like, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Matt Walsh would draw a bigger crowd on most campuses than, like, a cool celebrity.
01:05:05.000And so the left is also making themselves uncool.
01:05:50.000So my question's got a little bit of background, so I apologize.
01:05:54.000But just to start off, I believe dating is for marriage.
01:05:56.000I believe dating for the sake of dating is futile.
01:05:59.000That is something that I believe is backed up by the Bible, as it seems clear that dating for the sake of dating or for fun is a recipe to fall into sexual immorality.
01:06:06.000I believe that people should save themselves from marriage.
01:06:09.000I have been dating my current girlfriend for almost a year and a half, and we both agree with this sentiment.
01:06:14.000Some of our friends at church say they agree with us, but what they say?
01:06:17.000But then they say that before they look to settle down, they want to date around and find what kind of people they like.
01:06:22.000And while they do not see it like this, their argument sounds very similar to the idea that people should sleep around to find their sexual preferences before settling down.
01:06:30.000I believe this idea that people should date around is a path towards sin.
01:06:34.000How should my girlfriend and I go about explaining our point of view and the dangers of dating casually in our modern world?
01:06:42.000Yeah, I mean, just go back to Scripture.1.00
01:06:43.000If you're talking to Christians, cohabitation is a sin, period.0.99
01:06:49.000and to live with another that, if you are not married, just invites sexual immorality.1.00
01:06:53.000And so, yeah, I mean, how you explain it, you shouldn't have to explain it.
01:06:57.000You have what hopefully they would want, which is you're saving yourself for marriage.
01:07:01.000And let's talk about why it's important to save yourself for marriage.
01:07:04.000Sex is the most personal, intimate thing that God gave us.
01:07:08.000And so why would you want to share that with anything other than the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, your soulmate, where you become one with that individual?
01:07:17.000Why would you want to all of a sudden be like, well, I've shared that now with seven other people.
01:07:20.000I don't even remember five of their names.0.95
01:07:22.000You have now diluted the most beautiful and, dare I say, almost holy thing that God gave us between men and women.0.97
01:07:34.000And the church has not done a good enough job of really holding up this ideal of marriage because they want to fit into modern culture, which is get married earlier.
01:07:57.000Their point of view isn't that they're going to go and act promiscuous.
01:08:01.000They just think that they should go date a few people and just expect it to work out well, that nothing's actually going to happen, that they're going to move from person to person to person until they find the right one, and that somehow they're going to stay cured.
01:10:27.000I have worked for Congressman Richard Hudson, and I am also a member of Turning Point USA Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.1.00
01:10:34.000So I can say you are doing good work, and Zoomers are very much growing to be conservative.1.00
01:10:38.000So before I ask my question, I want to give some context on why I believe what I believe.1.00
01:10:43.000My dad died while deployed with the Army overseas, and I'm also about to leave for the Army next month.
01:10:53.000So obviously I'm eyeing the current state of global affairs with Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran, China.
01:10:59.000So my question for you is, even though I'm a conservative, my main issue with the current state of the GOP seems to be that they want to tuck their tail and resort back to a 1900s isolationist movement that ultimately failed.
01:11:12.000Do you believe that U.S. global hegemony is under attack and do you think that it's in the interest of America to maintain a strong aggressive foreign policy?
01:11:20.000Towards countries like Russia, China, Iran, and Palestine, which doesn't exist, who continue to continuously undermine our interests in our sphere of influence.0.99
01:12:31.000So I don't believe we should invade the world and invite the world.1.00
01:12:33.000I think the Iraq war was a mistake.0.98
01:12:35.000I think that we stayed in Afghanistan far too long.
01:12:38.000And the way that Joe Biden withdrew was obviously an insult to the country and insult to all of us.0.63
01:12:42.000And I think that the last 20 years has been more foreign policy failures than successes out of Washington, D.C. With that being said, with the rise of China, I do believe that we should have a strong sword and be willing to wave it.0.77
01:12:55.000Because I believe that the Chinese Communist Party.
01:12:57.000Is one of the great adversaries, not Russia.
01:13:00.000And so that would be my personal take on that.
01:13:03.000And endless wars have been a big issue.
01:13:06.000And we have to understand that there is a national security state, an intel apparatus in D.C., that does not exist to try to win wars but keep them going, keep themselves getting rich, and keep on sending people like you to go fight in those no win wars.
01:13:18.000So I think I'm somewhat of a moderate in your question in that sense.
01:14:05.000Support your local Turning Point chapter.
01:14:08.000get involved in the local community and understand the progressive Eastern forces are coming here and they're trying to organize, they're trying to mobilize.
01:14:16.000You have to stay on your guard, you have to stay constantly understanding that they're trying to do some very bad things here.
01:14:24.000I get asked all the time, Charlie, are you optimistic or are you pessimistic?
01:14:27.000If I said I was optimistic, you would go home and do nothing because you say, oh, we're going to win because Charlie said he's optimistic.
01:14:33.000If I said I was pessimistic, you go home and do nothing because, oh, Charlie said he's pessimistic, I go home and do nothing.
