00:01:42.000Despite all the headwinds, all the stuff that he has to deal with, Secretary, welcome back to the show.
00:01:48.000You are the perfect man for this hour to talk about gas prices.
00:01:52.000Obviously, we're headed into the midterms, and that's what a lot of people are talking about.
00:01:55.000There's a new report yesterday that President Trump's even thinking about reconvening Congress to put a pause temporarily on the federal gas tax.
00:04:52.000So those ships don't hit shore, you know, until another three or four weeks.
00:04:57.000And then they've got to go through refineries.
00:04:59.000Our bigger problem today is refineries, which makes me think of my greatest pro energy politician, Gavin Newsom. who amazingly forced the closure of two large refineries in the last 12 months.
00:05:13.000The world is short even more refining capacity than it's short oil.
00:05:19.000And in California, they're still choking industry.
00:05:23.000And I must tell you, it's getting tough to hear the Democrats relentlessly talk about how they're for low gasoline prices and low diesel prices, where for 17 years, their agenda has been stop drilling on federal land, stop issuing permits, block the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:05:41.000Force refineries to close in my home state of Colorado.
00:05:44.000They're desperately trying to close the one refinery in the Denver area that keeps prices low.
00:05:49.000There, they fight every day to reduce energy production and drive prices up, and then they get in front of a camera at election time and say they're for low energy prices.
00:05:59.000It's, I mean, it's a total hypocritical statement.
00:06:03.000I feel like every Democrat running for office should be asked that.
00:06:07.000They should be saying, Do you support building new refineries in the United States?
00:06:11.000I know we're trying to develop that one.
00:06:12.000In Brownsville, are there any efforts ongoing from the administration to just expand our refining capacity such that we know we're an oil exporter overall, where we would just never have to worry about a shortage of refined products anywhere else in the world?
00:06:26.000We are working to expand the capacity of our existing refiners, restart a couple of the recently closed refiners.
00:06:34.000And you mentioned this new project in Brownsville, where we're working hard to get a new refinery built, which would be the first one started in decades.
00:06:43.000But with an energy system, as you guys both know well, You just want robustness.
00:06:51.000And again, from the arrival of President Obama, the Democrat policy has just been to somehow strangle the oil and gas industry and the coal industry and somehow believe that would lead to a magical replacement for these energy sources.
00:07:08.000But that strangulation, years of strangulation, just meant our buffer for crisis was reduced so much that now we have multiple conflicts in the world today.
00:08:20.000This is why the West Coast, and it affects states like Nevada, Arizona, California, obviously, but they have been choking supply with the refineries.
00:09:18.000And I also point out to Democrats, in average, in Democrat-controlled states, gasoline's 50 cents a gallon more expensive than Republican-controlled states.
00:09:28.000In California, it's almost $2 more expensive than it is Republican-controlled states.
00:09:35.000So, that, you know, the Democrats, it's not just words.
00:09:37.000Their actual policies drive up energy prices.
00:10:13.000But another thing that I think is getting missed in the dialogue, and it's so important, is the impact that the Russo Ukraine war is now having on refinery capacity.
00:10:24.000It's the fact that our side is winning.
00:10:26.000If you ask anybody on the street, they'll say, I'll ask them, why is diesel high?
00:10:31.000And they'll just say, Iran, Iran, Iran.
00:11:13.000Russia, obviously, one of the huge oil producers of the world.
00:11:16.000There's three giant producers, the United States as the biggest, and then Saudi Arabia and Russia as second and third.
00:11:22.000But Russia has a huge refining complex.
00:11:25.000So inside Russia, they take half of their oil they would export, and they refine it, mostly into diesel and jet fuel, some into gasoline as well, and then they export those products to the world.
00:11:39.000Russia was, after the U.S., the second largest exporter of diesel fuel on planet Earth.
00:11:46.000And now the Ukrainian attacks have been so successful.
00:11:49.000Russia not only is not exporting any diesel, they've actually become a small importer of diesel fuel from other countries and a meaningful importer of gasoline.
00:12:21.000President Trump, you saw, took action a couple days ago to allow the use of off-road diesel that we use on farms where you don't use the highway system.
00:12:30.000It doesn't pay the federal excise tax.
00:12:33.000President Trump saying, well, we're in a crisis right now.
00:12:38.000I mean, it's harvest season in the farm country.
00:12:41.000Let's allow farmers and truckers on-road to use that tax-free diesel in their vehicles.
00:12:47.000This had knocked 25 cents off diesel prices.
00:12:50.000I should say as well, diesel prices are already down 25 cents from their peak two weeks ago.
00:12:56.000This is part of this negotiations for diesel reasons in Europe.
00:13:00.000Gasoline's down about 12 cents from its peak.
00:13:02.000But in the last two weeks, both of them are slowly going down.
00:13:06.000I think we will see a continued pullback in diesel prices and gasoline prices, both from increased throughput in America and from some of that offshore Middle East oil and refined product flows that we have moving again as they hit our shores.
00:13:23.000So I think the worst of this is past and we'll see better times coming ahead.
00:13:27.000But, yeah, there's been a lot of challenges in the world.
00:13:30.000Thank God we have President Trump leaning in on the addition and thinking about the American people and not climate politics.
00:13:38.000Well, Mr. Secretary, I think you've done a great job explaining the headwinds and also the solutions that are coming online.
00:13:45.000Two things I'll leave you with I would love, love, love to see the federal government commandeer those refineries in California.
00:13:51.000Whatever you got to do, just make it happen.
00:14:14.000It's more powerful to get those congressmen back in Washington to do something powerful like that than any campaign stop or town hall they can do.
00:14:22.000They want to see people doing things together.
00:14:57.000Yeah, I had an overseas leader, I'll leave him unidentified, who said if Kamala Harris or Joe Biden was president, oil would be $300 a barrel today.
00:15:08.000So, the energy policies of the Trump administration, the leadership of the Trump administration matters.
00:15:14.000He's going to deliver for the American people, both in Iran without nuclear weapons.
00:15:20.000That is a massive threat to the planet and lower energy prices.
00:15:25.000We will see dramatic improvement of energy prices, gradual improvement in the coming weeks, dramatic improvement in the next six to 24 months.
00:15:33.000We'll be back to the original first year of Trump presidency, energy prices.
00:17:01.000Every Democrat, to Blake's point, it was such a good point.
00:17:03.000They should be asked, why are you allowing Gavin Newsom and the Democrats in California to take refineries off when we've got high diesel prices, high gas prices?
00:17:13.000And if you're in California, you're paying $8.08 a gallon for diesel in California.
00:17:22.000Again, this is largely coming from Russia.
00:17:25.000And the average voter does not know this.
00:18:08.000And that's just such a strong way to put it in that we've talked about the right wing victory problem that we won on the border, that we won on getting deportations, that we're dismantling DEI, that crime is down to record to the lowest levels in a century, that overdoses are down.
00:18:31.000And what I think we need, we ask ourselves, how do we turn that around into it makes people stop caring?
00:18:38.000But that's such a great way to link it to gas prices because what this administration has shown is that it is a problem solving administration, that they are actually able to look at these unfixable problems.
00:18:48.000The border was unfixable, the OD problem was unfixable, and actually they were able to fix them so hard that no one's even talking about them anymore.
00:18:56.000And why should we not trust the problem solving administration to solve a basic economic issue?
00:19:09.000When you complain about gas prices, they'll say, actually, if they're in power, they'll say, that's a good thing because we're trying to transition away from a carbon based economy.
00:20:04.000Kamala Harris and Joe Biden pushed this stupid war in Ukraine where you got a bunch of Christians killing each other.
00:20:10.000And by the way, that's the other thing I want to tell to all of you people that hate the Israel stuff and hate the Iran stuff and hate the Gaza stuff.
00:20:19.000But if you're going to go sit there and go blame Israel for everything on October 7th, but you're not going to hold Putin to the same standard, who's killing a bunch of Christians, who's killed more Christians?
00:20:42.000The Ukrainians are fighting back and they're going deeper into Russia and they're hitting refineries because they're going to strangle the freaking beast of Vladimir Putin who won't stop.
00:20:50.000And listen, I'm no Zelensky fan either.
00:21:38.000We're going to go throw a rock through everything that built Western civilization and then we're going to tell you how to fix it by dismantling Western civilization, replacing it with new voters, new taxes, new institutions, new values, and Islam.
00:21:54.000If you've ever skipped the doctor because you couldn't afford it, you need to hear this.
00:21:58.000Christian Healthcare Ministries is the Christian alternative to health insurance.
00:22:03.000In under 10 minutes, you can join and start saving hundreds of dollars every month.
00:22:08.000As a member, you have freedom to get the best care at an affordable price with programs starting at $115 a month.
00:26:01.000And what Fauci didn't count on was one of two things, and we don't know which it was that a virus like that could actually leak from the Wuhan lab, or the People's Liberation Army Chinese military actually released it intentionally to wreak havoc on the world.
00:26:23.000And so Fauci is the godfather of the pandemic in that scenario.
00:26:27.000He paid for the research which created this engineered virus.
00:26:31.000And here's the beauty of the book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison.
00:26:41.000He wrote a private diary, which Bobby Kennedy managed to find on the servers at his bureaucracy, 1,100 pages.
00:26:51.000And in that diary, we learned that in January of 2020, which was the dawn of the pandemic, Fauci had 12 preeminent scientists come to him and say that the virus was likely from the lab.
00:27:13.000At that point, he knows, oh my God, I probably created that because I taught him how to do the gain of function research.
00:27:21.000So that's the seed of the whole thing.
00:27:24.000And then in Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison, I show the cover up.
00:27:27.000Because what happens over the course of six weeks is that two out of the dozen researchers, two that said this thing was from the lab, write a paper called Proximal Origin, which says, no, this thing's from nature.
00:27:47.000And Fauci, I'm pointing over here, that's the Brady Press Room right over there, gets up on that stage with the president beside him, waves that paper, and says, see, It's from nature.
00:27:58.000He doesn't say that he funded that lab in Wuhan, and he doesn't say, and it's right in his diary, that he actually prompted these two guys to write the paper.
00:28:09.000So it's like he creates the virus, then he covers it up, and then what happens next?
00:29:34.000My belief is that if we get the book out, people understand the full range of Fauci's culpability, then we'll actually get political action in Florida and Texas and Louisiana where they can actually prosecute this SOB.
00:30:44.000And by the way, everything that we've lived through in the last year, where nobody believes anything anymore, like we just broke people's brains in COVID, not to mention we broke the economy, we broke the supply chains.
00:31:00.000And so the ripples that flow off of the poor decisions and the lying and the criminality and the evil actions of one man, I don't know that there's anybody else in the 21st century that could claim as much.
00:31:22.000Let me tell you, I think, kind of in microcosm, the absolutely worst, heinous thing he did at a small scale.
00:31:31.000And you go to his diary in private, he admitted, first, that young men are at significant risk of inflamed hearts, something called myocarditis.
00:34:35.000I think we need to reshore manufacturing, vitamin C, anything that we are outsourcing to people that hate us, countries that hate us, and use it as geopolitical leverage against us.
00:34:46.000Defend the president's tariff policy, the regime.
00:34:50.000Why is it in the best interest of the United States, especially when we've just come off a high inflationary period under Joe Biden and we still got high gas prices?
00:35:08.000All right, let's talk some serious stuff.
00:35:10.000And let me take you back in the time machine, back to 2018, when we initiated the first tariffs on steel and aluminum, and then the 301 tariffs on China.
00:35:43.000What tariffs do is they create a protective wall, in the best sense of the word, from the unfair trade practices, not just from the really bad actors like China, but from virtually the rest of the world, which operates under a set of rules under the World Trade Organization, which allow, by rule and law, every other country in the world to cheat America and charge us higher tariffs than they charge us.
00:36:22.000So this term, based on the fact that tariffs were so successful in the first term, the president went full spectrum with the reciprocal tariffs across every country in the world that was cheating us, and there's over 40 of them.
00:36:43.000Second of all, We're seeing an unprecedented amount, unprecedented amount of investment in domestic production.
00:36:51.000And the tariffs are being helped by one provision of the big, beautiful bill, which says you get to 100% expense any expenditures on domestic factories.
00:37:03.000So, to give you a little preview of a report I'm going to issue in the next couple of days, we've got over 800 projects, 800 projects.
00:37:17.000Manufacturing projects since the start of the Trump term over in 47 states that are based on getting our jobs here.
00:37:27.000Some of them are foreign money coming in, a lot of them are domestic money.
00:37:32.000But we're seeing in the data, which is the only thing that matters, first a construction boom because you've got to build the factories first, and then the factories actually producing.
00:37:44.000About eight months ago, the best indicator of manufacturing activity, the ISM Manufacturing Index.
00:37:52.000Breached the 50 markets, a zero to 100 index.
00:37:55.000Over 50 shows you're expanding your manufacturing.
00:37:58.000And so we saw that eight months ago, and it's just been trending nicely up.
00:38:02.000Manufacturing is the key to two things economic prosperity, rising real wages.
00:38:10.000But the second thing is our national security.
00:38:13.000Like one of the things the Chinese communists, that's what they are, have been trying to teach us is that they will weaponize their supply chains.
00:38:25.000When they threaten to drown us in a sea of virus, they've done it this term by weaponizing the supply chains of what's called critical minerals and rare earth magnets, which are used in everything from iPhones to F 35s and everything in between.
00:39:00.000Just recently said it's going to put tariffs on China and others because of these large trade imbalances.
00:39:08.000So, you know, we've won the tariff war.
00:39:11.000I'm deeply concerned about this midterm election as well as what happens in 28, because the Democrats, all they want to do is, like, spend money we don't have.
00:39:22.000And the tariffs will both generate revenue, about $3 trillion over a 10 year period.
00:40:34.000I had the honor of a lifetime to call Charlie a friend.
00:40:38.000And what I remember most wasn't just what people saw on stage, it was what was behind the scenes.
00:40:45.000That was an unwavering commitment to his faith.
00:40:48.000His love for his family, and his genuine desire to encourage others to live with courage and conviction.
00:40:54.000Charlie believed that following Christ wasn't something you compartmentalize.
00:40:58.000He didn't put it in a box, he lived it out loud.
00:41:00.000It shaped how he lived, how he served, how he treated people every single day.
00:41:05.000Charlie Kirk, American Martyr, captures that heart.
00:41:08.000This documentary isn't just simply about remembering Charlie, it's an invitation for each of us to ask what kind of legacy we're building and whether we're willing to stand firm in our own faith when it's tested.
00:41:30.000Watch Charlie Kirk, American Martyr, and help bring more stories of faith, courage, and conviction to audiences around the world.
00:41:40.000Blake tells me that he has an email that I need to, and he won't tell me.
00:41:44.000Well, we were just talking about inflation and prices and everything, and we got an email from Michael Dear Blake, please tell Andrew I just bought a $20 burrito in Prague.
00:43:39.000And now they're still stuck in the mire.
00:43:40.000Mira Medder and Mike Weary, welcome to the show and honored to have you here.
00:43:46.000You guys, I think, have done something really, really important.
00:43:48.000Tell us about Broken Country, why you made it.
00:43:51.000We've got some great clips we're going to share along the way.
00:43:54.000Well, thank you so much for having us.
00:43:55.000So, I mean, the graph that you showed is sort of really the inspiration where the experience on this hand and all of the sort of micro moments that.
00:44:07.000We experienced the conversations of the realities of that graph that we all sort of endure over here was really the inspiration.
00:44:16.000We were all just kind of wondering what happened, you know, how did we go from being prosperous, being on par with the United States?
00:46:15.000It's the opportunity, it's the fact of the rising taxes, it is lack of access to health care, it is what we're seeing on the streets with the rise of the opioid crisis and the national crisis, which is rampant across the country.
00:46:32.000As well as the cost of living, you know, not only are our standards declined, our standards of living declined, but the costs have risen exponentially and the jobs have disappeared, and the incomes that the jobs that are still in the market pay are not.
00:46:51.000They're not keeping up with the costs.
00:46:54.000Yeah, our income used to be, you know, in 2015, it used to match exactly the average medium income in the United States.
00:47:03.000Now, the average median income is 30 to 40% lower in Canada than it is in the United States.
00:47:11.000And most Canadian provinces, like our version of states, are poorer than your poorest state.
00:47:19.000It occurs to me that 15 years ago, or really even when Trump was elected, you still heard the people say, like, if this happens, I'm moving to Canada.
00:47:27.000I feel like you don't hear that anymore.
00:48:49.000You know, it's crazy because you always hear everybody going, Well, Canada has their best fare.
00:48:53.000Now you see these stories where it'll be someone in Canada, they have stage four cancer, and if they come to the US, they can get an experimental treatment for it.
00:49:03.000And sometimes that actually has made progress and helped extend their lives.
00:49:06.000And in Canada, they're basically said, Well, you can get made, you can kill yourself.
00:49:10.000Or you can wait a year to get treatment.
00:49:13.000Is it really gotten that we only have a minute left here?
00:49:15.000But is it if I get diagnosed with cancer in Canada and I'm like, okay, I need to go see a doctor now and get this cancer dealt with?
00:49:28.000If you walk into a hospital with a gunshot wound or in a car accident, you'll get immediate, wonderful care.
00:49:34.000I would say we actually just had a post went viral yesterday on Twitter just talking about it was a stat that Canada, as a country, a country of a population of 40 million people.
00:49:46.000Has less MRIs, MRI machines, than the state of Pennsylvania.
00:49:50.000And that really does speak to the general state of our healthcare system and how it actually cares for the populace.
00:49:59.000There's a myth in Canada that we have dirty oil.
00:50:02.000That couldn't be anything further from the truth.
00:50:05.000We need immigration, but I don't disagree.
00:50:08.000Welcoming 600,000 new people to Toronto every single year, year after year after year, may not be sustainable.
00:50:14.000Regulation is a huge barrier in this country.
00:50:18.000Every single aspect Of operating these businesses has gone up dramatically in the last four years.
00:53:38.000But the fact of the matter is that it was never considered that if you let in.
00:53:46.000Two to three, two million people per year, which we were averaging year over year for multiple years, that they still need access to the same healthcare, the same infrastructure, the same housing, the same things that every other Canadian needs to have.
00:54:00.000And we don't have the resources to support that.
00:54:03.000And so what you're left with is a group of people who have been brought into the country, sold a bill of goods that are left in often, you know, Poor circumstances, you know, ghetto wise situations.
00:54:21.000But it's deeply affected the Canadian populace.
00:54:24.000You know, one of the things was so powerful is we interviewed 4,500 people, 77 experts, policy experts, but 4,500 people across the streets, coast to coast, to get sort of a temperature of the country.
00:54:39.000And the thing that struck me the most was that there is a generation, you know, this sort of 25 to 45 year old group that is.
00:54:51.000There's a feeling of hopelessness, right?
00:54:53.000You know, the lack of jobs, the lack of affordability.
00:54:56.000You know, you add in 2 million people per year.
00:56:14.000And Elon posted a very similar graph the other day.
00:56:19.000It has become so hard and so unaffordable for the average Canadian to live that if you add on the fact of having kids, it's almost an impossibility.
00:56:30.000I mean, we're seeing right now, and I interviewed people in the film that, you know, are working professionals.
00:56:37.000Some of them are making low six figure salaries and they're late 20s, early 30s, and they cannot afford to move out.
00:56:44.000Or they are young and married and living in condos.
00:56:49.000And here we have something different with our housing and our mortgage renewals, where the average mortgage has to go up for renewal every five years, the rate.
00:59:02.000Or click on the preborn banner at charliekirk.com today.
00:59:06.000Preborn was so special to Charlie, and it's so important to me as well.
00:59:10.000Right now, you can help make motherhood possible by providing ultrasounds with preborn.
00:59:14.000I'd be so honored if you'd prayerfully consider joining us.
00:59:20.000Jordan is from Temecula, California, raised by a single mother who worked multiple jobs to provide for her.
00:59:28.000Jordan's deeply motivated to honor her mom's sacrifices through her own faith, work ethic, and leadership.
00:59:34.000She's a dedicated turning point leader since high school.
00:59:37.000Jordan now serves as a chapter VP while working to help pay her own tuition, balancing school, church, and turning point with dreams of attending law school one day.
00:59:49.000And Jordan is someone who works hard to provide for her future, like I know a lot of you students do.
01:00:46.000A lot of people think that, you know, Turning Point flew her out, but she literally just came out, took off work to be there just because it was one of my events.
01:03:38.000Because, I mean, sure, on campus too, this kind of fractures in the movement, whether it's about foreign policy or affordability, Israel, all that stuff.
01:03:48.000You're experiencing that as a student, right?
01:03:50.000When you go tabling, what kind of topics are coming up?
01:03:54.000I'd say one of the major topics that always gets brought up is just how everything is so unaware.
01:03:59.000I mean, a lot of us are obviously college students, and especially at GCU, people are, you know, finding their partner for life and getting engaged and married.
01:04:06.000And we're all pretty concerned about, you know, being able to provide for our future later and being able to like buy a house.
01:04:12.000The housing market is insane, especially back home in California.
01:05:08.000I would say that, I mean, for example, the $20 burrito example, like I get paid minimum wage for my job, which is like $1515 here in Arizona.
01:05:16.000So, like, that's a whole hour's work for me.
01:05:19.000So, like, especially Chipotle, that kid's meal, I get that.
01:05:23.000But yeah, it definitely just shows that, like, you have to work, I feel like, a lot harder to be able to, you know, provide that.
01:06:05.000And I like applied for a bunch of different things, and no one gets back to you.
01:06:09.000But it's like really unfortunate when you walk into some of these businesses and these people are just like barely doing their job and like half doing it.
01:06:15.000And you're like, well, if I was there, like I'd be putting in the time and effort and work.
01:07:24.000I can't imagine AI doing a better job than an actual human person.
01:07:28.000But I would say another issue is just, I think, the divisiveness within just politics in general, but even the conservative movement itself, especially with the midterms coming up, like getting wrapped up in like these really tiny, minute issues that can be handled once the midterms are over, I think is silly.
01:07:55.000Either within the movement or just on campus, sort of this checking out nihilism that they seem to not, they basically just say the future is screwed, so I'm checking out.
01:08:07.000Maybe they only love to do things that are just take moonshots, maybe speculate on crypto, do a lot of sports gambling.
01:08:12.000Like it doesn't matter unless you just get lucky and strike it rich like you're a gold miner in the 1800s.
01:08:19.000Yeah, I definitely think some people have tapped out, but there are definitely still people in the movement and just in general that are definitely very motivated.
01:08:27.000To continue working and just doing the best they can with what they have.
01:08:31.000So it's really special to see the people that are, you know, keep working at it and don't let stuff like that tear them down.
01:08:45.000Social media has made things harder because, you know, we hear from the guys hey, if I ask this girl out and she rejects me or thinks I do it the wrong way, then I'm going to find out about it on social media in 20 minutes.
01:08:58.000But because, I mean, what is the state of dating on your campus?
01:09:02.000I would definitely say it's a Christian campus.
01:09:04.000So there are a lot of people that are very quick to get engaged and married.
01:09:07.000Like I have a lot of coworkers that just got engaged, but I would definitely say it's hard.
01:09:12.000It really is because whether it's the men not taking the first step or whatever, but I think also when it comes to being a woman or, you know, a daughter of the king, it's also like you yourself have to be ready for that as well and be presentable as someone that's worth that as well.
01:09:53.000Go date somebody, like, go volunteer for something where you could share values with other people of a similar age and you're going to have better luck, right?
01:10:01.000And that's why so many people are getting.
01:10:03.000You know, ring by spring, getting the MRS degree from GCU.
01:10:59.000And one of the conversations that we have with young people a lot, maybe it's less, I don't know, prominent at GCU as it is at other campuses, but that is, of course, about Israel and foreign policy.
01:11:11.000And it is October 7th, and I wanted to make sure that we took a moment to remember that horrible day because it is horrible.
01:11:17.000Whatever you think about Israel, the fact that some terrorist breached Israel.
01:11:22.000The border area and then slaughtered 1,200 innocent people.
01:11:26.000I mean, that would be, if you per capita, it would be like 30, 35,000 Americans just killed like that in a terrorist strike.
01:11:36.000It's a 9 11 scale attack in a country basically 2% the size of America.
01:11:41.000So here's what's interesting Mayor Zoran Kwame Mamdani, I always forget his middle name is Kwame, released the following statement on the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks.
01:11:52.000This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers.
01:12:15.000The suffering did not begin nor end that day.
01:12:19.000It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including more than 21,000 children, even since.
01:12:29.000The so called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed.
01:12:32.000Suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting.
01:12:44.000But as we said, this is something we bring this up with you because it does seem like a lot of our chapters, we know they're split over the Iran conflict, they get split over Israel.
01:12:56.000It has a lot of online energy as something people like to debate.
01:13:00.000And, you know, you and I discussed this as it would be very dumb for us to blow up our movement and let people who we know despise America, people, you know, his middle name is Kwame because he's named after a radical left African dictator who made him basically won the Lenin Peace Prize, to let that cabal of people take over because we're split over how we feel about a foreign country.
01:14:03.000Try to pass it on to someone else if I can because I don't want to speak on something I'm not as knowledgeable about because I think it's a nuanced conversation.
01:14:10.000Yeah, it's I mean, it's a completely nuanced conversation.
01:15:14.000So when you see those protests that are going on at Cornell, I mean, is that something that you guys talk about?
01:15:22.000You know, This concept of consent, this concept, because obviously dating is going to be, but again, a Christian campus, but like, is that a topic that you guys are discussing?
01:15:33.000It's not like the first thing we've reached for, but I definitely think after having Brandon and he kind of made a statement like, don't get all your information off TikTok, which is definitely a good idea.
01:16:25.000So, I think being at GCU was probably one of the best places to be when he.
01:16:30.000When he passed, despite how hard it was, because even though I mean, he wasn't a big supporter of college, but he did have a little soft spot for GCU, so it was just really sweet being around all of these people that loved him as much as like I did or as much as the chapter did.
01:16:45.000I mean, our school really rallied for Charlie, so having Erica come to our tour stop was just really sweet and special, especially since he just really loved GCU and had a little soft spot.
01:16:54.000And it seemed like the students so embraced, if we could throw some more of that B roll up, like it seemed like the students really embraced her.
01:17:02.000I mean, this is her first stop at GCU, I believe, right?
01:17:09.000It was just, it was really exciting seeing people welcome her with open arms because I know there's, you know, obviously controversy about that.
01:17:51.000So I tell people this all the time, but if you want to be inspired about the future, just hang out with some Turning Point kids, legitimately.
01:18:01.000And we have, I mean, you're extraordinary and special, but it's so encouraging to know that there are students like you.
01:18:08.000Across the country that love this country, that believe in the future of this country, that love the Lord, that are doing things the right way, working really hard.
01:18:15.000And I'm telling you, hang out with Turning Point Kids.
