00:00:39.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.000The people that are having a free speech event where if you disagree, you can come to the front of the line and have uninterrupted chance to talk?
00:01:27.000Or the lunatics playing rock music, screaming into the sky with barely legible signs saying, fascism is so, they even know what fascism is?
00:01:47.000And it really is something, though, because honestly, I look at these videos, and I'm not even saying this as a joke.
00:01:52.000The lack of purpose and meaning in your life that you have to go take to the street and like scream into the sky, like, I'm fighting fascism.
00:02:04.000Like, get a girlfriend, like, get a job, any job, get married, have kids.
00:02:09.000Like, there's something much more important in life than just being constantly angry at the world where you're trying to shut down the singular conservative event that's happening at San Jose State University.
00:02:21.000What it shows is that these people are intellectual midgets and they are afraid.
00:02:26.000Are you allowed to say midget anymore?
00:02:52.000We have really nuanced beliefs on certain things.
00:02:54.000We disagree on a lot of stuff, even amongst people in Turning Point USA.
00:02:58.000And we believe that we become a meaner country when we don't listen to the other side and allow a short window of time for people to be able to speak.
00:03:07.000And you think about it, you know, at San Jose State University, I want to thank, first of all, the police for all the help here.
00:03:30.000When you do not have an opportunity to even hear the other side, then you think you know why you hate them.
00:03:36.000When in reality, you have this kind of built-in prejudice or stereotype.
00:03:40.000So you could go through like four years of San Jose State University.
00:03:43.000You'll probably get an overwhelming dose of Marxist postmodernism, Foucault, Derrida, Marcuse, one-dimensional man, you know, Rousseau, all that trash.
00:03:53.000And for, I don't know, 90 minutes, here we are.
00:03:56.000We want to offer a different point of view, and there's like a revolt.
00:04:01.000Imagine having a worldview so fragile, so poorly constructed, that a singular speaker that comes on campus is a massive threat to the entire Marxist regime that you've built with every young person.
00:04:14.000That goes to show that they're afraid of defending their positions.
00:04:19.000That 60 minutes can undo four years of indoctrination.
00:05:20.000And I'm paraphrasing, I want to be fair to him.
00:05:22.000But he basically said, racism is the systems that perpetuate racism.
00:05:25.000It's like, okay, answer the question without the word racism in it.
00:05:29.000You actually have to define what it is.
00:05:31.000And the reason he can't is because if he gave a definition of racism, he would realize that he's actually pushing some of the most bigoted, stereotyping, prejudiced ideas on the rest of us, which segues us perfectly to your new senator here.
00:06:35.000And so Gavin Newsom made a pledge, and he said, okay, if I am given the opportunity and there's an opening, I am going to pick a black female.
00:06:46.000So obviously he wants to continue the tradition of affirmative action that has destroyed so many Asian and white families' dreams and aspirations here in California via the education system.
00:06:55.000And he wants to continue that into the Senate seat.
00:06:58.000So he picked someone who's not even lives here.
00:07:03.000Like, yeah, let me just go on Twitter and start finding every black female lesbian that I can that is like pro-abortion.
00:07:09.000And he found like LaFonza Butler, who lives in Maryland, by the way.
00:07:13.000I'm sure she'll declare California residency soon.
00:07:16.000And by the way, there are a million black women in California, but he had to go all the way to Maryland to find one that fit the criteria, I guess.
00:07:25.000So, again, I don't know anything about Lafonza Butler, but I know enough to know that I'm not exactly a fan of her worldview.
00:07:32.000But I will say this: it's actually not fair to her, and she should feel a little bit weird about it.
00:07:37.000Same with Katanji Brown Jackson and Kamala Harris, another fan favorite from Calvary.
00:07:40.000You guys really produce the world's best here.
00:07:44.000You really got a real great, you got Pelosi, you got Kamala Harris.
00:08:28.000But the people that push for affirmative action, we'll get to the root of it in a second.
00:08:36.000It really is deteriorating and destroying society.
00:08:39.000I'll prove to you how bad it is, right?
00:08:40.000Because you know we're always told, oh, there's white privilege, there's white privilege.
00:08:43.000Yeah, okay, I'll believe there's white privilege the second I find a single college student that lies about being white on a college admissions paper.
00:09:23.000So a few weeks ago at UC Riverside, an ethnic studies professor, Andrea Smith, was forced into retirement after it was revealed she spent her entire career falsely claimed to be Cherokee Indian, when in reality she's 100% white.
00:09:39.000So again, if there's so much white privilege, why are so many white professors pretending to be quote-unquote marginalized groups?
00:09:45.000The answer is because you get special tokens and you can move up faster if you pretend to not be white in the academy.
00:09:51.000Second example: an hour north of here at UC Berkeley, oh my goodness, anthropology professor Elizabeth Hoover publicly apologized for mistakenly claiming to have Indian ancestry.
00:10:29.000And by the way, one thing I'm struck by is that there are so many students here that are Asian.
00:10:35.000It is like the, I'll go through the numbers.
00:10:37.000It's so actively anti-Asian and anti-white, it should cause a revolt in the state.
00:10:43.000But we'll talk about that in a second.
00:10:44.000So in the world of affirmative action, instead of prioritizing, saying, I want to earn people's respect and admiration, it's a constant struggle of who can get the most points for something that does not matter.
00:11:00.000It actually prioritizes things you cannot change more than things you can change.
00:11:06.000America is at its best when we prioritize stuff that you can change.
00:11:11.000How much homework you study, how early you wake up, how seriously you take your classes.
00:11:16.000How disempowering it is to say that your skin color should necessarily dictate whether you get into college or not.
00:11:23.000In 2009, two researchers at Princeton calculated that to have the same chance of admission to an elite university, an Asian applicant had to score 450 points higher on the SAT than a black applicant who was otherwise the same.
00:11:37.000The SAT only has a score range of 1,200 points, 450 points.
00:11:42.000A few years ago, an AEI fellow found that black medical school applicants with below average scores were nine times more likely to be admitted than Asian applicants with the same scores.
00:11:52.000In this recent Supreme Court decision, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, Supreme Court just decided it was revealed that to keep Asians out, Harvard would systematically rate Asian applicants as inferior personalities to everyone else.
00:12:08.000Now, we were told that it was evil, and it was evil, when we had internment camps for Asians here in California during World War II.
00:12:14.000We're doing this by different means by saying, You as Asians are not allowed into universities because we want to prioritize some other marginalized skin group.
00:13:19.000And by the way, I could look at articles: obesity, that's why racism is why we have obesity, bad health outcomes, either that or climate change.
00:13:36.000Oh, so it's a power struggle, is what it is.
00:13:39.000And what this is, is a non-stop concerted effort to try to deteriorate the promise of America, which is a Latin phrase, e pluribus unum, out of many one.
00:13:49.000They want you thinking about race all the time, and they're winning.
00:13:54.000They're making us care about senators' skin color instead of anybody asking the obvious question, is this senator smart?
00:14:25.000But here's the fact that people need to remember: is that when you have an outcome that you don't like, income levels, wealth disparities, there are other credible reasons to explain that away other than racism.
00:14:39.000In fact, there are hundreds of other explanations.
00:14:42.000If you blame everything on racism, everything, then you actually never get down to the root of the issue.
00:14:49.000And so the question would be this: if you were to say to somebody, they say, oh, America is a systemically racist country and there's all these issues and all this sort of stuff.
00:15:40.000I think they've toned it down a little bit this year, but I'm sure they'll be back in time for next year's Cultural Revolution.
00:15:46.000Presidential years, you know, they really got to ramp up.
00:15:49.000Just, you know, everyone's going to get really mad for nine months and then they'll forget and do nothing and take advantage of those communities.
00:15:54.000And just that happens every couple of years.
00:15:56.000And so, but then the question is: the NFL mostly watched by men, right?
00:16:01.000Instead of lecturing us about, I don't know, it's like the rainbow NFL thing that they do now, like, oh, yeah, this really just say, how about like stop being like a grown boy and a coward and stay with the woman that gets pregnant because fatherlessness is destroying the fabric of our society?
00:16:19.000When was the last time you saw a single PSA from the NBA, the NFL?
00:16:23.000No, no, no, because that actually would solve the problem.
00:16:26.000And they're not in the business of solving problems.
00:16:28.000They're in the business of staying powerful while the problem continues.
00:16:33.000And so I'm happy to hear about all the different types of racism that exist in society.
00:16:38.000Like, oh, yeah, there's all these disparate incomes.
00:16:40.000Yeah, there's other reasons to explain that away.
00:16:42.000But quite honestly, I won't even entertain that at a baseline level until we talk about the stuff that is actually driving the societal decay, which is kind of my final point here, and then we'll do some questions until we run out of time.
00:16:54.000Which is, I've been coming to this, the Bay Area for the last decade.
00:17:11.000And this entire place is governed by ideology, not by what you are experiencing in reality, but some sort of commitment to an ideological dream.
00:17:23.000In downtown San Francisco, Nordstrom's closed, Gump's closes.
00:17:27.000I mean, these are places that I'm sure some of you remember walking the streets of San Francisco without having to worry that you're going to get mugged or someone's going to defecate in front of you.
00:17:42.000Gavin Newsom, you know, he wants to run for president.
00:17:44.000I'm like, where have you ever been in charge where it's not a hellhole?
00:17:47.000Like, can you just tell me one place where you took the oath of office and it's not like some dystopian, like feces and filled place afterwards?
00:17:56.000Like, have you actually improved a place that you've been in charge of?
00:17:59.000Like, I don't really care about your spin, about every sort of thing, you know, the one-liners that you rehearse in a workshop.
00:18:04.000Like, have you ever actually improved the quality of life of the people that you were in charge of?
00:18:08.000And of course, they can't do that because their ideology, Trump's, that's funny.
00:18:15.000The ideology overrules what is actually happening in front of them.
00:18:19.000But here's the kicker: is that your elites, the people at the ruling class on the top of Silicon Valley, not just the Zuckerberg type, that's the elite of the elite leave.
00:18:29.000I'm talking about the next level down, okay?
00:18:31.000I'm talking about people earning four, five, six, seven million dollars at Facebook, four, five, six, seven million dollars at Google, is that they're just going to build bigger hedges and they're going to hire more armed security.
00:18:43.000They literally don't care that the structural middle class in the Bay Area is evaporating.
00:18:50.000Because for them, it's all just kind of peasants in their massive power grab.
00:18:54.000And what I find to be just hilarious is, you know, all these people outside that are so worried that one conservative speaker is coming to speak for 60 to 90 minutes and take questions.
00:19:04.000Like, when was the last time they went outside some mansion of some plutocrat here in Silicon Valley and was like, hey, why don't you do something to fix homelessness?
00:19:15.000Or why don't you do something to actually not just give money to like gender equity or the chemical castration of kids, but to actually help, I don't know, people buy groceries.
00:19:25.000No, because they are, again, they're just pawns in a bigger game, which is they need to be directed towards quote-unquote fighting the right winger when in reality your own quality of life is deteriorating in front of you.
00:19:37.000San Francisco, some of you don't even remember this, was one of the world's greatest cities.
00:20:02.000They'll buy another vineyard in Napa, or they'll go down to Carmel, or they'll buy another, they'll just flee.
00:20:08.000And the rest of you that want to make a life in this state and a life in this city, this area, are going to be looking around and be like, yeah, you know, I was kind of on board for this socialism thing, but I was really on board for the revolution.
00:20:19.000But why is there a homeless, a naked homeless guy on our yard and I can't remove him?
00:20:40.000Ask yourself the question: is that ideology materially improving any place in the square footage of the United States?
00:20:48.000And if your ideology is all about like defund the police and more like drug usage sites and everyone's streets is their own, then if you think San Francisco is going well, I don't believe you, honestly.
00:23:24.000What can us as young conservatives do to promote family values in this leftist area?
00:23:31.000First of all, I'm so happy to hear that you're getting engaged in getting married.
00:23:35.000Young people, you need to do that more and do it younger and do it earlier.
00:23:38.000And look, In a world that's falling apart, you need to go out of your way to act in a way that preserves the good, the true, the beautiful, and the things that eternally actually matter, like your relationship with God, your family, having kids.
00:23:56.000And so, just some, I mean, you're asking for advice, happy to give some.
00:24:00.000The first thing, though, is good on you.
00:24:04.000And it's one of the reasons why I speak so openly against hookup culture and just all this trash that has infected the younger generation.
00:24:11.000And by the way, it's not some sort of speculation.
00:24:14.000The more we have embraced this idea of free sex and hookup culture, we have the most depressed, most suicidal, most alcohol-addicted, most drug-addicted generation history.
00:24:24.000Maybe we should ask the question: like going around and acting like a rabbit in your sexual ethics, is that actually creating happier people?
00:24:40.000And so I want to ask, I want to tell you this: that the hard things in life are the fulfilling things.
00:24:46.000And one of the big lies that we are seeing in modern society is this idea that you can have a joyful, happy, deep, and fulfilling life while not putting in any of the work.
00:25:00.000And the sad reality for any of you that have been around, you know, the beautiful things take commitment and they take discipline.
00:25:06.000In fact, it takes saying no to your flesh on a daily basis to not watch pornography, to not smoke weed, to not, I don't think you should drink at all, but if you drink, to not drink in excess, right?
00:25:17.000To actually ask yourself the question of, am I becoming the best version of myself?
00:25:21.000And I don't even say those things necessarily in a judgmental way.
00:25:24.000If you're doing those things, you're going to hit a wall eventually.
00:25:27.000Like, the laws of nature will come to you.
00:25:29.000I'm just trying to warn you: the quicker you can escape from that, the better, and to be free of that.
00:25:33.000And so the challenge for young people, especially young men, because it doesn't come as easier for young men, young women have their own challenges, which we can talk about, which is can you commit to one partner, one person for the rest of your life?
00:26:08.000And my question is: why do you think there has been less cooperation or no corruption at all between conservative right-wing America and Muslim community at large?
00:26:17.000When ideally we have the same values of family values and everything we fancy?
00:26:26.000So, a lot of it has to do with a lot of, let's just say, post-9-11, post-war on terror, understandable tension there that I don't think has ever been sorted out.
00:26:36.000I do think there's a place because there's a lot that we agree, right?
00:26:38.000I had this conversation with Patrick Bette David.
00:26:42.000I have some, let's just say, massive theological differences between Muslims.
00:26:47.000But I would much rather work with Muslims to try and stop the chemical castration of children than have to live under the tyranny of the trans mafia that is going after children and medically kidnapping them any day.
00:27:01.000But I feel it's also important that I'm not, you know, we can have a theological discussion otherwise.
00:27:08.000But some of it is, and you have to understand where conservatives are coming from, though.
00:27:12.000There are some Muslims, not necessarily you or even, you know, the group that you come from, that do talk about not a free society, implementing Sharia, having a more theocratic form of government.
00:27:22.000That's a thing that needs to be sorted out, especially amongst some of the higher levels in Muslim society.
00:27:28.000What I see that's promising, right, is when Muslims are actually showing up more at school board meetings than rank-and-file Christians to fight for the right things politically.
00:27:39.000For that, I say, honestly, let the ethical monotheists unite against this godless, secular Marxist agenda, and then we can have our spirited theological debate.
00:28:01.000Thank you so much for your speech earlier.
00:28:03.000And my question has to do with affirmative action, and I mentioned several times earlier.
00:28:08.000The history of the United States, as we all know, Civil War ended in 1865, and a lot of people think that slavery ended back then, but there was another form that's called indentured servitude that lasted until around the early 1900s.
00:28:27.000And then we got the civil rights movement in 1965.
00:28:32.000And so my question is, given the history, there are injustices done on people of color.
00:28:38.000And do you think that they deserve some sort of reconciliation?
00:28:42.000And if so, if not with affirmative action, what form?
00:28:46.000And if affirmative action is the answer, which, according to your answer earlier, not exactly what you agree with, but for what length, right?
00:30:08.000And the answer is that we are not confident, we're not honestly courageous enough to empower black voices to say, hey, you have to fix the problem in your own communities.
00:30:20.000It's not about white guilt or white pandering.
00:30:22.000It's about how about you stay with the woman you impregnate?
00:30:25.000How about you stop embracing gangster rap culture?
00:30:29.000How about you stop listening to music that glorifies the worst part of society?
00:30:34.000And Thomas Sowell wrote an entire book about it.
00:30:36.000And the affirmative action creates race resentment is what ends up happening.
00:30:42.000And while I acknowledge that, yes, of course there were laws that were unjust in the past, we've already lived under the biggest reparations program in the history of modern society, and it's been an abysmal failure.
00:30:54.000You want to know what true liberation would look like?
00:30:57.000Black America taking responsibility for their actions and doing the three to four things that are necessary to succeed in America.
00:31:03.000Getting married before you have kids, graduating from high school, get a job, any job, and not committing crimes.
00:31:09.000This is what drives me nuts about the looting stuff, is that people say, well, it's just a matter of, you know, it's a matter of survival.
00:31:18.000How about you stop acting like a criminal?
00:31:21.000How about you stop stealing stuff and we justify it?
00:31:24.000And the more that we do that, the more we are building a baseline of an acceptance.
00:31:28.000And here's the thing, just so we're clear, blacks make up about 12% of the American population, more specifically black men, 6% of the American population.
00:31:36.000They're responsible for 60% of the murders.
00:31:58.000So thank you for your response, and that was great insight.
00:32:02.000And it sounds like you're personally affected to an extent through the effects that you talked about, through the black communities.
00:32:10.000And since we are affected, and you as well, do you think we have some sort of responsibility to sort of fix the problems on, instead of just giving our opinion, actually doing to an amount of what we can do?
00:32:29.000So here's what's amazing is despite the fact that Asians have a harder job getting into college, harder job getting hired, Asians are like the wealthiest group in America by far, despite all the things that are thrown.
00:33:21.000The goal is to do our best to try to create a society that values meritocracy and values work ethic and things you can change, not things you can't change.
00:33:40.000I'm the chapter founder and president at Bue College up in Chico.
00:33:47.000And my question for you is: what advice would you give for a brand new chapter officer to grow to fight against the crazy liberals that come and yell at us every time we table?
00:33:59.000Well, first of all, so glad you're involved with Turning Point USA.
00:34:01.000Most important thing a young person can do is start a Turning Point USA group.
00:34:05.000Honestly, it's going to strengthen your resolve.
00:34:06.000Look at it as an opportunity to grow stronger in your views, to grow deeper in your commitment to the pursuit of truth.
00:34:13.000And they're going to try to cancel you and censor you and smear you.
00:34:17.000Look at it all as pure joy, as it says in the scriptures, right?
00:34:20.000To be persecuted in the name of truth.
00:34:22.000So it's a question of attitude, right?
00:34:24.000Instead of acting like a victim when all those things happen to you, say, you know what?
00:34:27.000I'm so lucky because I'm going to learn how to better defend my positions because the world is really nasty and tough.
00:34:32.000And that's one of my problems with college campuses in general, is that it creates this false reality that I can't hear different ideas.
00:34:39.000I can't possibly, you know, be challenged or whatever it might be.
00:34:44.000And to be perfectly honest with you, like life is really, really nasty at times.
00:34:50.000Turning point USA leaders that have had to deal with that kind of hostility are far better prepared to live a happy, productive, and joyful life versus their left-wing counterparts that have been completely insulated from any criticism, never have to deal with any sort of backlash.
00:35:07.000And, you know, you call it safe space or bubble wrap or whatever it is, but there will be a time when all of a sudden you go through a difficult moment in your life.
00:35:14.000And I could say this from someone who's, you know, had a fair amount of those over the last 11 years.
00:35:18.000It doesn't get easier, but you do manage it better when you've been through prior crises.
00:35:26.000And I really feel for the 21-year-old social justice warrior that thinks the biggest threat to society is a conservative coming on campus talking about these ideas, because they're not going to make it when the mortgage comes due and their credit card company calls to collect and they're having a bad day at work.
00:35:42.000Like, how are they going to deal with actual problems?
00:35:55.000Hi, my name is Spencer, and I'm a freshman here at San Jose State.
00:35:59.000So my question is about what you said earlier about Justice Kentaji Brown's Jackson's qualifications for the Supreme Court and how you mentioned that she was unable to define what a woman is, and I'd like to compare that to Justice Barrett.
00:36:15.000So Justice Jackson went to a public high school, attended Ivy Law Law School, clerked for the Supreme Court, was a public defender, served on a sentencing commission, was a district judge, and served on the Court of Appeals.
00:36:30.000And as for Justice Barrett, she was a Supreme Court clerk, and she also sat in Court of Appeals.
00:36:39.000And when she was being questioned by Senate during her confirmation, she was asked to name the Freedoms of the First Amendment, which she struggled with.
00:36:50.000So my question is, what makes Justice Jack, Jack, pardon me, Justice Barrett more qualified than Justice Brown?
00:36:59.000First of all, what does your shirt say?
00:37:34.000She had nothing but a notepad, all from memory.
00:37:36.000Katanji Brown Jackson, I will just ask you, do you think it's important that one of the nine people determining the most important interpretation of our laws knows what a woman is?
00:40:33.000So are you suggesting that, like, a transgender woman goes about her day pretending to be a woman, but then when she gets home, she starts acting like a man?
00:41:23.000Gender is a made-up term that started in the academy in the 1960s.
00:41:26.000Talking about sex, which is the only thing that actually can be proven and that matters, XXXY.
00:41:32.000I will ask the question again: why is it that a man can suddenly become a dress and can be treated exactly the same as a woman that is biologically, not just biologically different, but somebody has a different brain, a different hormonal system, menstruate, have children?
00:41:52.000It is so unbelievably insulting to women to have men have to lecture that all it takes is some weird dude with testosterone can put makeup on, wear a thong and a dress, and he suddenly becomes a woman.
00:42:11.000Here's at the essence of the issue: is that no matter how much surgery you do, no matter how many drugs you take, you don't stop being the thing that you were born.
00:42:20.000You don't get to determine your reality by a stroke of the will.
00:42:26.000I don't deny for a second that the trans person thinks that they are.
00:42:30.000Certain people think that they're younger than they are.
00:42:32.000Some people think they're taller than they are.
00:42:34.000Some people think they're richer than they are.
00:42:36.000Some people think they're innocent when they're not, like Bob Menendez.
00:42:39.000There's plenty of delusional people in this world.
00:42:42.000It's up for society to say no to the delusional and yes to reality.
00:42:47.000It is for us to not allow us to be reigned under the tyranny of somebody's imagination.
00:44:41.000But I was, I heard you mention safe injection sites and drug overdose is such a big issue today.
00:44:51.000And there's this meta-analysis of 75 studies that shows that it reduces overdoses, increases access to health services, and is not associated with increased crime or increased drug use.
00:45:05.000So what reasons do you have for being against it?
00:45:08.000Do you think that San Francisco is a clean city?
00:45:12.000They don't have clean injection sites, I don't think, but no, I guess not.
00:45:15.000I believe they do have injection sites.
00:46:51.000That is not what safe injection sites are.
00:46:53.000Tapering is perfectly fine because literally if they stop using a form of opioid, they could die.
00:46:58.000Safe injection sites is the continuation of the addiction subsidized by the taxpayer because we don't have the courage to say, you are suffering under a self-inflicted addiction.
00:47:09.000We're going to get you help, but you first must take responsibility for your own actions.
00:47:14.000The problem with the premise of safe injection sites is society itself is saying you're really a victim, and we're going to give you the needles and give you the tools.
00:47:22.000And you could walk into San Francisco at any one of their health sites, and they will give you a kit, literally a kit, of syringes and needles, and literally an ability to put a large rubber band, a tourniquet, thank you, around your arm to be able to find the veins that you can inject.
00:47:52.000Let's try to get you off of these things, not make it easier for you to continue to do drugs, which only continues the cycle of despair and death.
00:48:45.000But that doesn't make the rule any less true.
00:48:47.000It's like saying if you see someone with an amputated leg, you say, oh, wow, that's not normal, but you still have something normal to compare that to.
00:48:57.000Yeah, I guess, so my question is more like, if somebody then does have like XX chromosomes, but they're born with like male anatomy, or yeah, male anatomy.
00:49:20.000It depends on like the specific, I think that one's Turner syndrome.
00:49:25.000So that can be like in one in 500 boys to like one in 2,500 boys.
00:49:29.000How do you think they should identify?
00:49:32.000I personally, in those cases, you know, like you say that there's only sex, but I personally think that those people should be able to identify how they want to identify because it's, you know, like, would you say that that's like an unclear circumstance or?
00:49:52.000Well, I think that their chromosomes are rather clear, right?
00:50:59.000Is that fringe cases in any scenario, whether it be rape, incest, and abortion, or intersex with trans issues, is not the heat or the heart of the debate at all.
00:51:09.000In fact, if I understand correctly, the study on intersex, again, it's somewhat of a distraction of the fringe cases that there can be, at the young age, like surgery that actually ends up helping based on the hormonal makeup.
00:51:53.000Again, I just want to reiterate: we don't have 15% of high school girls in America that are quote-unquote non-binary because of intersex issues.
00:52:02.000We have 15% of high school girls saying they're non-binary because it's a social contagion that is infecting people that are perfectly normal and healthy with XX and XY perfectly functioning genitalia systems.
00:52:17.000And so while I acknowledge this is incredibly murky and I need to think about it, this is a rare disease to muddy the issue up that biological reality needs to continue to exist regardless of somebody's own personal imagination.
00:52:33.000Yeah, I think so, like from my understanding of sex, like reproductive biologists don't necessarily use chromosomes.
00:52:42.000They use like what gametes you produce, like what sex cells, so like sperm or ovae.
00:52:51.000But I don't know that Let me try to find some common ground here, okay?
00:52:57.000So when the Biden government comes out and they say that men can take drugs to lactate and chest feed, do you think we've probably gone too far?
00:53:10.000But I'm just trying to find some common ground because when the government says that it's how about this, when the government calls women that are pregnant birthing people, do you think we're probably going too far?
00:53:24.000I think I'd, I mean, this is, I'd have to ask you more questions about what you believe because I don't know.
00:53:32.000I believe what people have believed for 5,000 years, that there's man and woman and that you can't pretend to be something that you're not.
00:53:38.000I also believe what 99% of Americans believe.
00:53:43.000But the fact you can't immediately answer gets right to the point of this, which is that we have this radical ideology that has infected every major part of American society.
00:53:53.000And I don't think we should be focusing on fringe issues or fringe cases when it's literally staring us in the face and it's a social contagion that is resulting in tens of thousands of people chopping off their genitalia to create irreversible damage for the rest of their life.
00:54:13.000Hi, I was wondering what do you think about the viewpoint that both Trump and Biden, if they committed crimes, should be investigated and prosecuted?
00:54:25.000That's why I think they should be investigated and seen in a trial in court.
00:54:30.000We don't know for sure whether he committed crimes, but there is some good evidence to indicate that it might be possible.
00:54:37.000And why shouldn't we have a trial to see what the result is?
00:54:41.000Okay, so that's actually a really good-hearted question.
00:54:43.000So for all of our adult life, actually since the founding of America, when you are a former president and you are running for a political office, unless you literally ran somebody over with your car maliciously, we're going to be very careful using the instruments of the Department of Justice because it does two things.
00:55:03.000It takes the person out of the playing field so that you can vote for that person.
00:55:07.000And the third thing is it makes us all distrust the justice system.
00:55:12.000And so what would make actually more sense is that we should allow the voters decide whether or not they want Trump to be president or Biden to be president, not Jack Smith's own personal decision of who he wants to become president of the United States.
00:55:24.000And so that's a far more logical and rational way.
00:55:29.000You show me the man, I'll show you the crime, right?
00:55:31.000We have a legal code that is so voluminous.
00:55:33.000As James Madison said, more laws, the less justice.
00:55:38.000And again, we're getting to a place where we're going to investigate every candidate for every office, and then the enforcement of that will be whoever controls the Department of Justice.
00:55:48.000And let me tell you right now, at the FBI building, they're not all wearing MAGA hats, right?
00:55:52.000That is tilted in one direction and in one side.
00:55:55.000I would much prefer to say, you know what?
00:55:57.000Detente, Biden, Trump, like, let's see what the voters actually want.
00:56:01.000Instead, Donald Trump is under active indictments facing 500 years in federal prison.
00:56:24.000But the more important issue is the question of why don't we allow the people actually decide who gets to be president, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. that are actively interfering with our constitutional right to pick who gets to run our country?
00:57:14.000This is sad that we have to go to this place.
00:57:17.000I would much rather have an election, not a competition of who could prove the most stuff in a hearing or some sort of fake trial with Fannie Willis or Alvin Bragg or Letitia James.
00:57:26.000I hope you guys understand how insane what's happening with Letitia James is right now.
00:57:29.000This is literally the New York Attorney General just saying, I'm going to take Donald Trump's business empire.
00:57:34.000Like, this is, if third world governments did this stuff against former presidents, we would sanction them.
00:57:40.000And so, no, I don't rejoice in it, but I do think it's necessary at this point.
00:57:43.000And we have to know, remember, the gentleman before asked me the question.
00:58:13.000So I identify as a conservative, and Roger Scrudon defined conservatism as the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.
00:58:27.000I've noticed that in all of your various lucubrations and printed on every single poster in here is the word rebel.
00:58:37.000My question to you is, how are people with personalities rebellious to authority satisfied at the heart of a conservative movement seeking to preserve mass social upheaval and the maintenance of our status quo?
00:59:37.000So I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
00:59:41.000Well, I just think that when we identify ourselves as rebels, do we want to just give the message to the youth and the people after us that rebels had to fight for this stuff?
00:59:52.000Okay, yeah, I'm not really sure what you're asking, but we are rebels.
01:00:45.000Hey, Charlie, thank you so much for coming to San Jose.
01:00:48.000I spent two years as chapter vice president, and I'm getting my teaching credential at California State East Bay, so wish me luck in the public education field.
01:00:57.000But besides all that, I did have a quick question on foreign policy, if we could pivot really quickly.
01:01:05.000One thing I've really appreciated about you lately is your willingness to call out the money pit that is Ukraine, the fact that we're wasting just gobs, billions of dollars in Ukraine so that we can, what, like hold some terrible concrete apartment blocks in Bakhmut?
01:01:21.000But I'm wondering if this whole Ukraine debacle has sort of changed or molded your opinion on other aspects of, say, isolationism.
01:01:30.000Like I myself am pretty hardcore isolationist.
01:01:32.000And the two examples that I think of are like Pakistan, the fact that they don't hold their nukes well, the fact that they may or may not have harbored bin Laden, and we still give them $100 million a year.
01:01:43.000And I know it's a touchy subject because some idiots have been really rude to you about it, but we give $4.5 billion per year to Israel.
01:01:51.000And my take on that is, hey, if they want to build an iron dome, let them build an iron dome, but I don't want my tax dollars going to it.
01:01:57.000So what I'm getting at with the question is, have you become more isolationist as this Ukraine war goes on just as a flashpoint issue in your Ukraine?
01:02:05.000Or do you think your view has expanded throughout the rest of the world as well?
01:02:40.000So as far as aid to Israel, the best argument I could give for aid to Israel is, as a Christian, the ability to access my holy sites is an absolute imperative for any American citizen or a Westerner.
01:02:51.000And it is a fact that if Israel were to fall to their Arab neighbors, we would not be able to access the archaeological sites.
01:03:30.000It's kind of something to think about, right?
01:03:32.000But no, I do think there's a place for a partnership with Israel.
01:03:35.000Whether or not we could look at the number and all that, I'm not getting in the weeds of that.
01:03:38.000Pakistan, I haven't thought that deeply about it, to be perfectly honest.
01:03:41.000The Ukraine thing, let me just say this.
01:03:42.000I just think it's so morally objectionable and outrageous that while we have 10,000 people illegally entering the United States on a daily basis, I have to be lectured by our leaders that the most important thing is sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
01:03:58.000Like, that's the most important thing.
01:03:59.000How about you secure our border and you send $100 billion to our border to seal it from the invasion that's happening?
01:04:18.000Is that there are young people in this audience that are going through serious financial difficulty, that have trouble buying groceries, trouble buying gasoline.
01:04:27.000And our leaders are so focused on a proxy war abroad, by the way, that our own government wanted.
01:04:33.000Even if you're super pro-Ukraine, this is a fact that you have to live with and you have to try to wrestle with.
01:04:38.000That Joe Biden dispatched Boris Johnson to obliterate a potential peace deal that would have prevented the slaughter of people.
01:05:44.000Like, oh no, it's 100 miles this way, 100 miles that way.
01:05:46.000Like, that's not the most important thing facing the United States.
01:05:49.000Get them in the room, tell them to stop the killing, stop the supply of arms, tell Putin to stop the invasion, and you draw the line and you say Ukraine will never be part of NATO.
01:05:57.000But our leaders are not willing to say that because they make billions.
01:06:02.000The war industrial complex makes billions.
01:07:03.000This one isn't as much of a disagreement, just a question.
01:07:06.000If you were in power, what would you, you were talking about homelessness.
01:07:10.000If you were in power, what policies would you pass to address?
01:07:13.000Identical what Rudy Giuliani did in the 1990s: compassionate but tough, which is we're going to give you help, we're going to give you services, but the streets are not your home.
01:07:21.000That we're going to find a way to do both.
01:07:23.000And he did it in a way where homelessness was rampant.
01:07:26.000You guys remember New York in the late 80s?
01:07:27.000It was not safe, it was not orderly, and New York became the gem of America.
01:07:32.000You have to be willing to have police power and do it lovingly and say, Excuse me, sir, we're going to not allow you to have this tent on the side of this street.
01:09:00.000And what you said was so brave, you know, intellectually honest about the society that we live in, the Bay Area, not just San Jose, but the entire Bay Area, that they propagate saying, oh, stop Asian hate, but they don't mention who's committing the hate.
01:11:52.000And one last question is that, you know, do you think we can ever get to a time, you know, where both sides can respectfully disagree, agree with each other, you know, on college campuses?
01:12:07.000Because, you know, I've been here for two years, and Turning Point USA was here last October, fall semester, and I personally debated with them despite being the vice president of the Democrats at SJSU, you know.
01:12:24.000And, you know, I think it's really good that we have this type of dialogue and discussion because, you know, we're all Americans.
01:13:07.000Tomorrow, when Iber Max Kendi comes, ask yourself how many conservatives are out there making fools of themselves saying he shouldn't be allowed to speak.
01:13:15.000Number two, when Iber Max Kendi, Henry Rogers, speaks here tomorrow, does he stand here for an hour and take the hardest possible questions and invites disagreement to the front of the line?
01:15:19.000It's not a perfect solution, trust me.
01:15:22.000But you are able, it is proven that in products where the entire society wants something, we've been able to stabilize pricing and increase the quality.
01:15:34.000When you have price transparency, you empower the hundreds of millions of people to say, wait a second, two days in the hospital for this procedure is going to cost $27,000, and my deductible is this?
01:15:45.000It's like, all of a sudden, these questions create a market.
01:15:48.000And we don't have a market because the consumer is not currently informed.
01:15:59.000There are drug company problems, which I could probably agree with old liberals on, which we are living in a pharmaceutical-controlled state of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson Johnson that want you perpetually sick.
01:16:18.000And the biggest issue with it is that the corporations are the ones that have cozied up with government and the everyday American people.
01:16:25.000I think there's good arguments, honestly, by some liberals on this stuff and conservatives on this.
01:16:29.000The answer is not to expand government, it's to empower the everyday American to make better choices and to stop giving favorable contracts to the four companies that have done such damage to our country: Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson Johnson.
01:18:42.000And every state that legalizes weed sees crime go up, vagrancy go up, homelessness go up.
01:18:48.000And let's just ask a more macro question, right?
01:18:51.000If you were trying to destroy society, would you be cheering for the legalization of weed and usage of weed, or hoping that it doesn't get legalized?
01:18:59.000Of course you would want more young men on marijuana, the fighting-age young men to be sitting at home and smoking dope instead of saying, no drugs, no alcohol, I'm going to commit myself to fitness, eat well, wake up earlier, do cold showers, and really be the best version of myself.
01:19:13.000There is a beautiful future ahead of you that is more than just using the cool drug.
01:21:10.000But also, I'll just tell you both sides of it, because I don't have a good answer.
01:21:14.000But I don't have a clear answer, which is when I see people that have been cheering for every no-win war over the last 30 years all of a sudden talk about China and Taiwan, Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley, I get very uneasy.
01:21:28.000Like, wait a second, why am I going to trust you all of a sudden?
01:21:31.000So it needs to be about deterrence, which is why I think the best thing we could possibly do is try to reject the bloodthirst of Washington, D.C. and try to say, you know what?
01:21:43.000I know this is like a foreign concept to D.C., but the react is if the Chinese Communist Party wants nothing but an invasion at any point in time.
01:21:50.000Look, I think they are modern-day Nazis.
01:21:53.000I think the Chinese Communist Party are, again, the party, not the Chinese people.
01:22:54.000So again, everything I'm saying politically is my own personal opinions.
01:22:57.000Turning point USA, 501c3 educational project, but I can speak openly personally on this.
01:23:02.000So when it's talking about Trump running for office, let me just tell you, yes, he can still run despite all the nonsense that's been thrown at him.
01:23:08.000And I'll just be honest, my own personal opinion, it makes me support him even more when I see every single one of these indictments thrown at him.
01:23:16.000And I say, my goodness, this guy had a comfortable billionaire lifestyle and he was hosting a television show at Mar-a-Lago.
01:23:24.000And he is going through the depths of hell.
01:23:32.000He has perseverance that I will teach my daughter and say, I want you, when the world is against you, to fight as hard as Donald Trump did.
01:24:48.000Thank you for coming over here tonight.
01:24:50.000You mentioned within your speech that, especially here in the Bay Area, we've kind of, in a sense, defined the track that the country is going through.
01:25:00.000So I've noticed an increasing amount of, you could call it resistance or opposition to what's currently happening around the world, socially, especially.
01:25:08.000And I wanted to ask your thoughts regarding this where do you think that the opposition and the increasing opposition we're seeing here in California will be reflected across the country eventually?
01:25:18.000So you're starting to see it here in the Bay Area.
01:25:31.000But there are so many decent people in this Bay Area, especially in the Vietnamese community and the Chinese American community and the Korean American community, people that have traditional American values that are not going to put up with this.
01:27:08.000And if I can help you and Turning Point can help you, then it's a beautiful mutual thing together.
01:27:13.000But you are living through the most consequential time of whether or not this entire republic, and it starts here, will become a tyrannical wasteland.
01:27:22.000But what if, I'm not saying, oh, we take back the Bay Area and there's going to be MAGA flags everywhere, but what if you make life hard for them?
01:27:28.000What if all of a sudden they have to listen to you every time they show up at a school board meeting?
01:27:32.000They have to listen to you every time they go to a constituency meeting.
01:27:35.000That they have to get calls from you every time where they are annoyed and they're no longer comfortable.
01:27:41.000And you get in their face respectfully and peacefully and you ask the questions.
01:28:25.000And I will say, as Christians, we must understand we fight, we act, not because we want a certain outcome, but instead because we believe we have a duty.
01:28:37.000And if you're not a Christian and that doesn't move you, then at least have a duty to the prior generation.
01:28:42.000Have a duty to the country that was built for you.
01:28:44.000Don't be arrogant and ungrateful about it.
01:29:02.000In the Bay Area, in San Jose, on a weeknight, there's well over 700, 800 people intensely engaged in trying to fight for liberty and freedom.
01:29:10.000You can call it whatever you want, a remnant.
