00:01:18.000It is such a pleasure to see how this Young Women's Leadership Summit grows year after year.
00:01:26.000And I said this last night, I want to say it again now to the entire audience.
00:01:30.000Just the people that make this possible, our donors and our supporters and our board members, those of which we honored last night, and those of which That wish to remain not on the forefront of that.
00:02:13.000So, At Turning Point USA, we believe in three big things.
00:02:18.000First thing we believe is that America is the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:02:27.000That America is the most benevolent, the most generous, the most accepting, the most creative, the most entrepreneurial country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:02:39.000So you should applaud that, by the way.
00:02:42.000And what's so concerning to us at Turning Point USA is the rise of anti Americanism on college campuses.
00:02:49.000Does anyone in the audience feel as if it's almost now the predominant viewpoint to be anti American on your campus?
00:03:00.000And the media will refuse to cover this, of course, that in our own country, we have people that want to deconstruct the prosperity and the excellence and the success that we're enjoying today.
00:03:12.000But why is America the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world?
00:03:15.000It's not because we have the most people.
00:03:18.000China and India have more people than us, a lot more people.
00:03:20.000In fact, China has almost four times as many people as we do.
00:03:24.000India, almost three times as many people as we do.
00:03:26.000It's not because we have the most land.
00:03:28.000Russia has almost triple the amount of land that we have.
00:03:32.000It's not that we have the most natural resources.
00:03:34.000I mean, the Middle East, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, they have natural gas, they have oil.
00:03:41.000So, why is, of course, we have all those things, but that doesn't make a country excellent.
00:03:47.000What makes a country excellent is the ideas of which that country is founded upon and the ideas that are embedded in that culture.
00:03:56.000And there's a difference between the American culture and the culture of Europe and the culture of almost all the rest of the world.
00:04:03.000Something that we take for granted, that all of you have heard throughout your whole life, which is if you don't succeed at first, try, try, try again.
00:04:15.000We are more forgiving of failure in this country than any other country in the world.
00:04:19.000There's almost an expectation of perseverance.
00:04:22.000There's almost an expectation that you're going to push through difficult times and that you're going to be better tomorrow than you were today and you're going to be better today than you were yesterday.
00:04:30.000If I were to describe what it means to be an American, the first thing I think of is meritocracy.
00:04:47.000That if you work really hard and you make a series of good choices for a long period of time, you'll be able to look five years, 10 years, 15 years later and see your life improved.
00:05:00.000Most of the world does not have that guarantee.0.99
00:05:03.000Most of the world, unfortunately, let's use India.0.52
00:05:07.000In India, if you work really hard and play by the rules, for 600 million people in India, it means their life will be exactly the same 15 years from now that it is today.0.96
00:05:17.000That even if you go to the school that you're assigned to, even if you try really, really hard at your job, it doesn't mean much of anything.
00:05:24.000Your life might have a slight improvement, unless there's some exception and there's an amazing thing that happens and someone takes a risk on you.0.95
00:05:30.000Because in India, there's a caste system.
00:05:33.000And it's really hard to break out of that caste system.
00:05:35.000Now, it's not as formal as it was 100 years ago, but it's culturally a caste system still in India.
00:05:49.000Essentially, that means it's the guarantee, it's the promise that in America, your kids' life and definitely your grandkids' life will be better than your current life today.
00:06:01.000And you should applaud that because, again, in a lot of countries across the world, That have amazing, beautiful people.
00:06:11.000There's a reason why the waiting list to come into this country is tens of millions of people long.
00:06:16.000That people dream and they go to bed every single day.
00:06:19.000This one thing they think about is I hope I get a letter in the mail from my embassy or the US embassy allowing me to be a legal immigrant to the United States.
00:06:26.000That's what's on the minds of hundreds of millions of people every day.
00:06:31.000And so the guarantee that if you do the first thing, you work hard and play by the rules.
00:06:38.000That your life and your kids' life and definitely your grandkids' life will improve.
00:06:42.000I ask this question almost all the time, and I guarantee very few people in this room can say that you have it worse than your grandparents.
00:06:51.000Very few people in this room can say that.
00:06:53.000Unless your grandparents were John D. Rockefeller or the Mellon family, I almost guarantee everyone in this room has a higher standard of living, has more opportunity, and is more liberated than their grandparents were.
00:07:07.000That's a sign of an excellent country.
00:07:13.000So, we go behind the values of America.
00:07:16.000Just like the Christian Trinity, now I'm a Christian first, an American second, a conservative third, in that order, okay?
00:07:24.000Just like the Christian Trinity, there is an American Trinity.
00:07:27.000And this is from my very good friend, Dennis Prager.
00:07:35.000The American Trinity is three big things, the first of which is the phrase e pluribus unum.
00:07:42.000Which is a Latin phrase which means out of many one.
00:07:45.000When America was founded almost on the presidential seal and many of our founding documents, this phrase kept on popping up e pluribus unum.
00:07:53.000It was the first country ever to be founded on unity and not division.
00:07:58.000It was the first country that was trying to bring people together.
00:08:01.000It was a country that, of course, we failed in that at first in a lot of different ways, but our ability to correct from our mistakes over time is a sign of excellence.
00:08:09.000It's not who you were, but it's how far you've come.
00:08:12.000It's not where you were 100 years ago, but it's the choices that you've made to be able to correct any mistakes that you once had.
00:08:19.000Now, that phrase, e pluribus unum, is so important because it's not about pitting people against each other.
00:08:25.000It's recognizing first and foremost there is only one race, the human race, and that we have more in common than ever will divide us.
00:08:35.000The second part of the American Trinity is one word, and the word is liberty.
00:08:40.000And we'd love, a lot of people on the left love to talk about liberty.
00:08:44.000They love to say, oh, yeah, we're all into liberty, and for maybe two issues, if that.
00:08:51.000But liberty is great, and we all should support it.
00:08:54.000But you should be able to do what you want to do as long as it doesn't harm somebody else.
00:08:58.000You have to take responsibility for your actions if things don't go the way you want them to go.
00:09:04.000You should be able to start a business.
00:09:06.000You should be able to go to the school you want to.
00:09:09.000But if for whatever reason that doesn't work out, who's responsible?
00:09:21.000Instead, you have to look inwardly as the best, as the only way to actually change things as you see fit.
00:09:30.000The third part of the American Trinity is the phrase, In God we trust.
00:09:39.000It is on all of our currency, and it is a phrase that we should never forget.
00:09:45.000At the American founding, on the principles of our country, we recognize our rights come from God, not from government.
00:09:52.000That we recognize we have natural rights when we are born.
00:09:55.000This is so important because, therefore, we, as the citizens here, we created the government.
00:10:02.000The government did not give us permission to exist.
00:10:05.000This is juxtaposed so differently than the Rousseauian view or the leftist view that for whatever reason, government has to grant us permission to do certain things.
00:10:14.000Instead, it's the exact opposite that we all gave.
00:10:17.000We give our designation and we give our contract towards the government, and the government is accountable to us.
00:10:22.000We're the shareholders of the United States government.
00:10:25.000And you put all this together, what do the results look like?
00:10:32.000Well, America, despite the mistakes that we've made, Never forget this.
00:10:37.000America has made mistakes, but America is not a mistake.
00:10:44.000And we are one of the only countries ever to exist in the history of the world to voluntarily send our own citizens to go die for the freedoms of others.
00:10:55.000We are a country that, when there is world conflict, when things break out, they don't call the Belgians.
00:11:03.000They definitely don't call the French.
00:11:07.000When there's conflict, people say, Where are the Americans?
00:11:42.000That means, and that doesn't count the meals that you paid for a friend who needed it or an Uber for a friend that was a little short of money.
00:11:48.000That's not even a count of this, it is just money that the IRS was able to designate that went to charities.
00:11:54.000500 billion dollars is the combined GDP, gross domestic product, of almost all of Eastern Europe.
00:12:01.000So we voluntarily gave away money so much money, it's essentially the entire wealth of entire countries.
00:12:09.000I believe firmly that the best way to help the least of these, to help people that are struggling, is not through big government bureaucracies, it's through churches, it's through synagogues.
00:12:20.000Through mosques, through local community centers.
00:12:22.000And when we lose that, when we lose looking out for other people, when we lose that as a country, we look to government to solve our problems, all of a sudden we become worse ourselves.
00:12:35.000You become more bitter and you become more selfish.
00:12:38.000Government will take care of that for me.
00:12:42.000I don't need to help the person on the side of the street.
00:12:44.000We become hardened to the world around us because it's somebody else's responsibility.
00:12:50.000When in reality, it should be everyone in this room's responsibility to lend a helping hand to somebody who needs it.
00:12:59.000How much are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness worth to you?
00:13:03.000This is the question America's founders had to answer.
00:13:06.000You see, for more than 150 years, America's 13 colonies governed themselves until Britain declared they had no right to self rule.
00:13:15.000So, ordinary people had to make extraordinary choices and risk their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to fight for independence.
00:13:22.000And against all odds, They won, and in victory, they built one of the most stable and lasting republics in human history.
00:13:29.000Now, experience the American Revolution like never before, thanks to our friends at Hillsdale College.
00:13:34.000Revolutionary America, a new documentary from Hillsdale Studios and narrated by Tom Selleck, brings the founding of our nation to life through the voices of those who lived it, alongside insights from leading scholars and commentators.
00:13:48.000I'm telling you, Hillsdale has outdone themselves with this.
00:14:03.000I mean, listen, at a time when history is often distorted in schools and classes, immediate, this is your chance to see the story as it really happened and ask yourself, what would you risk for freedom?
00:14:14.000Face the decisions our founders grappled with in Revolutionary American, a Hillsdale Studios film, only in theaters May 31st through June 2nd.

00:14:37.000One more time, that's hillsdale.edu slash revolution.
00:14:43.000The second thing we believe at Turning Point USA is that the Constitution is the greatest political document ever written in the history of the world.
00:14:55.000The Constitution was not written for the times, it was written to stand the test of time.
00:15:02.000The Constitution, the brilliance of the Founding Fathers.
00:15:06.000The Founding Fathers were the first victors and winners of a conflict and a war that voluntarily gave up political power.
00:15:15.000The Founding Fathers could have created the Washingtonian, Franklin, Jeffersonian ruling class that would have ruled like kings over Virginia, the Northeast, and the Southeast.
00:15:26.000They're the first winners of a war that won power and then gave it back and made themselves less powerful after the war.
00:15:38.000Could you imagine Napoleon, Alexander the Great, or Genghis Khan winning a huge military victory and then giving up that power afterwards?
00:15:47.000Or Julius Caesar, any of these conquerors, these military leaders that we study, and there was one common denominator about Alexander the Great and Napoleon and Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan, the empires that they built that was around their savagery and their conquests fell because it was around them and it was around force.
00:16:07.000So the founding fathers studied history.
00:16:09.000They studied Socrates and Plato and Aristotle.
00:16:12.000They studied their thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment.
00:16:17.000The Bible had a huge impact on the American founding.
00:16:22.000And they created a document, the Constitution, that was not an analysis of the times, but instead an analysis of human beings.
00:16:33.000As much as we like to convince ourselves that people change over a period of time, we're exactly the same today as we were 5,000 years ago in Babylonia and in the Indus River Valley and all across the world.
00:16:48.000Human beings are very predictable creatures and especially predictable when it comes to government.
00:16:54.000When it comes to government, human beings do the same thing time and time again.
00:17:02.000They put someone that they trust into power, or that person forcibly puts themselves into power through conquest or war.
00:17:09.000They do some good things for a short period of time, and then that power starts to corrupt them, and it corrupts them for a longer period of time.
00:18:01.000Well, a republic has certain truths, certain inalienable rights, if you will, that are enshrined in the foundational pillars of that country.
00:18:11.000A democracy is if 51% of this room decides that no one needs to own guns, it becomes that way.
00:18:21.000If 51% of this room says we need to get rid of free speech, a democracy, it becomes that way.
00:18:26.000In a constitutional republic, 80% of this room could say, well, let's get rid of the Second Amendment, and we'll say, well, look, actually, it says very clearly in our republic that these rights are enshrined upon our founding.
00:18:39.000A constitutional republic is the greatest preventative measure from tyranny.
00:18:46.000So the founding fathers did not do what Plato tried to do.
00:18:50.000Plato tried to create utopia, he tried to create perfection.
00:18:56.000This is what the left is trying to sell everyone in this room today.
00:19:50.000That's what the founding fathers gave us they never promised perfection, they never promised that you will be able to eradicate the ills of prejudice, the things that the left tries to say that they'll be able to get rid of.
00:20:05.000We just need another $93 trillion for a Green New Deal, and that alone will be it.
00:20:10.000How many more programs have they been trying to sell us for the last hundred years?0.55
00:20:15.000And by the way, the funny thing is, every one of these programs actually makes us less free, less competitive, and further away from our founding roots.
00:20:23.000And yet, the promise that the left always tries to do is we're just one more government program away to perfection.
00:20:31.000We're just one government program away to getting us in charge.
00:20:35.000And what makes us as conservatives or libertarians or free thinkers so different than the left is we admit at the beginning we will never achieve perfection.
00:20:44.000It's just not going to happen because human beings are going to act selfishly.
00:20:52.000But do you know what the founding fathers realized?
00:20:55.000All right, you will have corrupt politicians.
00:20:57.000You can get rid of congresspeople through a vote by other members of Congress.0.95
00:21:00.000You are going to have corrupt members of the courts.
00:21:03.000You can impeach a Supreme Court justice.
00:21:05.000You will have presidents that should be impeached.
00:21:08.000This president is not one of those presidents that should be impeached, by the way.
00:21:15.000And here's the method that other parts of government Can check itself because the government is nothing more than an expression of the citizens.
00:21:24.000And here's the other important thing to remember about the Constitution that the states created the federal government, the federal government did not create the states.
00:21:32.000That we were a collection of states that came together in a federalized system.
00:21:38.000And because of that, we should have what's called these laboratories of democracy.
00:21:42.000I love the fact that Florida is able to experiment with charter schools and no income tax.
00:21:49.000Unlike California, which is bankrupt and broken and busting at the seams.
00:21:56.000And you can see the differences between Florida, a state that is creating jobs, balancing budgets, expanding opportunity for minority kids, and California, which has an increasing homeless population like you wouldn't believe, that has more wealth inequality than any other state, that has businesses leaving it daily, that loses people with wealth that And there's this attack on wealth all the time in our culture and our society.
00:22:23.000You cannot get rich in this society without making other people rich along the way.
00:22:28.000Just because someone got rich does not mean somebody else got poor.
00:22:34.000Getting wealthy in a free market system means you had to create wealth for other people along the way.
00:22:39.000So, what the United States Constitution did and what it has done has allowed this prosperity to exist.
00:22:46.000If you look at the differences between the French founding, which is rooted in Rousseau, which believes not in the individual, See, that's what's so important is that we as Americans and we as believers in the U.S. Constitution recognize the sovereignty of the individual.
00:23:14.000That the individual comes second or third or even further down there.
00:23:18.000That there is a social contract that we all exist to, and it's the government that really is the one that is going to be the most important thing in our life.
00:23:38.000I'm not trying to be like, it's not like an anti French speech, don't get me wrong.
00:23:41.000But it's unmistakable that whether it be the entrepreneurs, the companies, the benevolency, the charity, the Ford thinkers, the authors, the writers, the cultural influence, which founding was better for human flourishing?
00:23:57.000Which founding was better for the individual to attain their dreams?
00:24:01.000One that dives in mediocrity, like the French, where they basically take the entire month of August off?0.68
00:24:07.000Where every time anything goes wrong, they go in the streets and protest it because things cost a little bit more because they want to blame other people.
00:24:15.000And instead in America, we're like, well, just work harder, like get another job.
00:25:11.000If you want to see massive savings in your healthcare budget, CHM has four low cost programs for every stage of life, starting at just $115 a month.
00:25:20.000Plus, you can enroll or switch your program at any time.0.94

00:25:43.000The third thing we believe at Turning Point USA is that we believe that free enterprise capitalism is the most moral, proven, and effective economic system ever discovered.
00:25:56.000Free enterprise, let's talk about what free enterprise isn't first, because I'm sure all of you on campus here have to deal with the misrepresentations around capitalism and free enterprise.
00:26:07.000Let me tell you what free enterprise isn't it's not cronyism.
00:26:12.000It's not being able to buy special access in DC.
00:26:15.000It's not being able to have the correct lobbyists to get government contracts.
00:26:19.000It's not having well positioned offices on K Street.
00:26:23.000It's not having the right politicians on speed dial so that you can get your company treated correctly.
00:26:29.000And as we like to say, and it's a saying from again Dennis Prager, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
00:26:35.000And as free enterprise capitalism, let me tell you what it is now it's the ability for every individual, right?
00:26:42.000We come from that idea of the individual.
00:26:44.000To be able to buy what they want to buy, sell what they want to sell, keep what they earn, trade as they wish as long as it doesn't harm somebody else.
00:26:57.000Well, over time, three big things happen in free enterprise capitalism prices go down, the quality of goods go up, and more people get access to those goods.
00:27:08.000What used to be considered luxury items in Western society, every single person has right now in this room.
00:27:15.000In the 1980s, it was a luxury good to have a cellular phone.
00:27:19.000It was a luxury good that most of it was this big, and some of them were only in cars.
00:27:25.000And now every person in this room has a supercomputer.
00:27:29.000I'm guessing most of them are Apple, and that has a supercomputer that the prices have been going down over time, the quality has gone up.
00:27:38.000When I was in high school, any high schoolers out there, we love our high schoolers.
00:28:24.000And we laugh at it as if this was the Mesozoic era.
00:28:28.000Only in a free market system with a keyword, competition, competing for all of your attention.
00:28:35.000Competing for all of your money, competing for your time and your appreciation.
00:28:41.000Could you have something that you're able to film this speech, that you're able to take pictures, that you're able to communicate with someone halfway around the world?
00:28:48.000This is only possible in a free market system.
00:28:52.000And we could prove it because, in countries such as, let's just use Venezuela, that embraces socialism and not so good ideas, the biggest concern for most people in this room, I'm sure, at times, Is my phone running out of battery, or my Uber is late, or, and I'm half kidding, of course, but I'm sure these are things that stress everyone out.
00:29:19.000In Venezuela, they're worrying where am I going to get my next singular meal for the week?
00:29:25.000Where am I going to get one shower for the month?
00:29:29.000Where am I going to be able to have a place to sleep for just this one day, and then I'll worry about tomorrow?
00:29:38.000And Venezuela, which is such an important example, Has the most oil and natural gas reserves of any country in the entire world.
00:29:48.000More than Russia, more than even the United States, more than Saudi Arabia, more than Iran.
00:29:53.000And only socialism could screw that up.
00:29:56.000And they did something very important in the early 2000s.
00:30:28.000If you want to just make somebody a conservative, bring them to Atlanta's airport at 5 a.m. and say, You don't have TSA pre, you don't have clear, and you got to get to your plane in 45 minutes.
00:30:50.000That you could appreciate the government.
00:30:55.000And I don't mean to mischaracterize TSA workers, but I think we would all agree that there is a lack of spirit, a lack of accountability, and a lack of energy amongst TSA workers versus the people that work at Chick fil A. Right?
00:31:42.000Now, I have personal opinions about all sorts of different stuff, and you guys can ask me about those things.
00:31:46.000And we always want our speakers to talk about any issue they want to talk about, whether it be abortion and guns, and you guys have heard from all of that.
00:31:52.000But as an organization, these are the three things that we believe.
00:31:55.000We don't consider these to be political at all.
00:31:58.000These are not things that should be Republican or Democrat or even conservative or liberal.
00:32:02.000These should be inherently agreed upon things as a country that we all accept.
00:32:11.000And so I will juxtapose the American Trinity with the leftist Trinity, and then I would love to open it up for questions because I want you all to understand what we're up against.
00:32:20.000And I think a lot of you do understand because you're on college campuses today.
00:32:24.000We at Turning Point USA believe whatever happens on college campuses.
00:32:28.000Will soon happen in the halls of Congress and will soon happen in corporate boardrooms.
00:32:32.000College campuses are the canary in the cold mine.
00:33:04.000I am going to critique her ideas, and I am going to put some criticism towards how committed she is to believing she's correct and everyone before her was wrong.
00:33:15.000It's a really dangerous thing to believe that everyone before me was incorrect.
00:33:20.000And boy, that takes a lot of hubris and pride to think that everyone before you was incorrect and you and you alone are now the standard bearer of what is righteous and true.
00:33:28.000That takes a lot of hubris and a lot of pride, doesn't it?
00:34:44.000What happens when you're able to divide?
00:34:46.000The second part, you're able to conquer.
00:34:48.000When you keep an entire portion of the American population in permanent fear, when you keep an entire portion of the American population that begins to hate the other part of the American population, they call us deplorables.
00:35:17.000And because as soon as they're forced to talk to us, as soon as they're forced to have a conversation with us, as soon as they realize that we care about this country, then all of a sudden they might hate us less.
00:36:33.000At every turn, at every issue, it's not what the individual can do, it's not what people can do, instead, it's what government can do.
00:36:41.000And I fear for a country where we, as a people, will not look inwardly to fix problems, but instead say, oh, the government will fix it for us, or the government will do it better than we can.
00:36:52.000And that has never, ever been the case.
00:36:55.000Instead, it's free people looking out for their fellow citizens, making good choices around a core common values that has always proven to create the greatest country ever to exist.
00:37:06.000Here's what your financial advisor won't tell you.
00:37:09.000By the time the news tells you to buy gold, it's too late.
00:37:14.000Everybody's waiting, waiting to see if the ceasefire holds, waiting to see if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, waiting to see what happens next.
00:38:34.000So, what would your response be to someone who says or asks why you hate socialism if we have socialist programs within our country right now and we're a mixed economy?
00:38:46.000So, people say, oh Charlie, you know, you say you hate socialism, but what about the roads and what about the bridges and what about Medicare and what about Social Security and all these things?
00:40:28.000And that's the beauty of localized control.
00:40:30.000Bernie Sanders, for example, one of the big things that Bernie Sanders' pillar, just so you understand, is this thing, Medicare for All, which is the complete nationalization and government takeover of one sixth of the American economy, the healthcare industry.
00:40:59.000It has to all be run through government.
00:41:01.000So it's the constant march towards the eradication of private property.
00:41:04.000The final thing I'll say is this they use Social Security and Medicare all the time to say these are socialist programs.
00:41:10.000Let me tell you why that's wrong, and then I'll give you a piece of kind of a little piece to think about in response to that.
00:41:16.000Number one, people pay directly into Social Security.
00:41:19.000As a proportion of the wages that they earn.
00:41:23.000So they have a job throughout their life, and all of you see that in your paycheck right now actually think young people should be able to opt out of the Social Security tax, which would be a 7% raise for everybody.
00:41:35.000They shouldn't forcibly take our 7% of our earnings every single paycheck, but you pay into it, and you're able to see hopefully that money actually doesn't go to a trust fund.
00:41:46.000And so here's the other criticism towards it.
00:41:49.000If their idea of optimal socialism is really Social Security, which Has not been in a trust fund and is going to be bankrupt in five years and is going to run a deficit.
00:41:59.000If their optimal view of socialism is Medicare, where we have over $50 billion of documented waste every single year, that's their idea of optimal socialism.
00:42:12.000And there's a lot of ways where it could be those benefits that people pay into could be a lot better.
00:42:16.000And I'll say for us young people, we should not be forced to pay 7% of our wages every year annualized.
00:42:25.000For the rest of our life, to something that we might see.
00:42:29.000How many of you are so sick and tired of getting your paycheck and it's way less than you think?
00:42:35.000The government is stealing your earnings, every single paycheck, for a promise that they're not going to fulfill.
00:42:41.000And they say they will and they're not.
00:42:44.000This would be the biggest tax cut for students and young people and middle class workers the country has ever seen.
00:42:51.000But instead, corrupt politicians want to keep a bloated federal government going and they're taking the earnings of every single person in this room.
00:44:25.000And I think, and I'm not, and you guys can make your own assumption looking at the videos, we always treat everybody with respect and we listen to what they have to say.
00:44:34.000In fact, we want it to be a forum of discussion and debate and dialogue and that collision of ideas.
00:44:41.000And I totally agree because I think there's too much division and divisiveness.
00:44:44.000Then we do the same thing at the end of every one of these events.
00:44:47.000Is that I'll ask the audience, I'll say, how many of you have gone to see some liberal speak on campus at some point in your college career?
00:45:14.000To hear what other people have to say and to find common ground.
00:45:18.000Now, some of you have seen my videos when people really start to go up and irritate and they just poke.
00:45:23.000Well, then they're going to get the cross examination that I'm happy to deliver with facts and a deliberate approach.
00:45:32.000And so, but first, I just want to say that's an amazing testimony because we are seeing thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people stop being liberals, leave the left, and come to a different side.
00:45:54.000If you're kind of on the fence and this is your first Turning Point USA event, you now get the three big things that we believe and you understand why we fight and why we're doing what we're doing.
00:46:05.000We want to get a chapter started on your school if you're on the fence.
