The Charlie Kirk Show - What Hamas Means for America: Charlie’s Speech at University of Central Florida

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk Show, my speech at University of Central Florida, where I take questions from the other side.

00:00:08.000 It's really fun.

00:00:08.000 We talk about Israel.

00:00:09.000 We talk about socialism.

00:00:10.000 We talk about all sorts of stuff live from the University of Central Florida.

00:00:14.000 I think you'll really enjoy it.

00:00:38.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:39.000 Here we go.

00:00:40.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:42.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:44.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:47.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:50.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:52.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:53.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:54.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:01.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:10.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:13.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:22.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:01:24.000 Sorry, I'm late, as they say, complicated business.

00:01:27.000 So, honored to be with you guys.

00:01:29.000 I want to first give it up for our police officers.

00:01:31.000 They're doing such a great job, and they don't get enough respect.

00:01:34.000 They do wonderful.

00:01:36.000 This is my second visit to UCF.

00:01:40.000 I think I visited five years ago.

00:01:41.000 I don't know if anyone was there.

00:01:43.000 It was a much smaller room at the time.

00:01:46.000 Great to be with you.

00:01:47.000 I had all these, you know, I try to plan out some idea of what we're going to talk about a couple days ago.

00:01:52.000 But honestly, given recent events, I kind of want to address that.

00:01:56.000 And then we can do some question and answer, which is the most fun.

00:01:59.000 And if you disagree, you get priority so we can talk from there.

00:02:03.000 So over the weekend, I turn off my phone, turn off my devices from Friday night to Sunday morning, and I allow myself to just watch college football.

00:02:14.000 It's kind of like my only thing that I watch.

00:02:16.000 And by the way, what is this whole thing that you guys won the national title?

00:02:18.000 Like, that's the weirdest thing, by the way.

00:02:20.000 Okay.

00:02:20.000 You guys, I mean, like, okay, you beat Auburn.

00:02:23.000 Congratulations, right?

00:02:24.000 And it was festival, right?

00:02:25.000 Okay, 16 and all.

00:02:27.000 I guess it's interesting.

00:02:28.000 I got a whole take on that, okay?

00:02:31.000 But didn't you guys have like a parade or something?

00:02:33.000 And like, you put the whole thing up.

00:02:34.000 You kind of own it.

00:02:35.000 This is like, it's not true, but it's great, you know.

00:02:39.000 Sure, national champions.

00:02:42.000 What year was that again?

00:02:42.000 Great.

00:02:44.000 What year is that?

00:02:46.000 Was it 17?

00:02:48.000 Who won?

00:02:49.000 Did Alabama win in 17?

00:02:50.000 Is that right?

00:02:52.000 Oh, UCF.

00:02:56.000 You really think that UCF would have given the tide in 17 a run for their money? 0.98

00:03:01.000 Yeah, that's you guys are really loyal.

00:03:07.000 So, yeah, that was when Tua, I think, threw the game-winning pass in the national title game in 18 when Jake Fromm was a freshman at the University of Georgia.

00:03:15.000 I think that's the idea.

00:03:16.000 Anyway, didn't plan to talk about that.

00:03:17.000 Anyway, I watch college football.

00:03:19.000 I love it.

00:03:19.000 It's my one indulgence, despite the fact that I'm not exactly a fan of most colleges.

00:03:23.000 And so I'm flipping through the channels.

00:03:25.000 I love watching the Red River rivalry game.

00:03:28.000 And all of a sudden, you know, I see the news reports.

00:03:30.000 You know, something happens in Israel.

00:03:32.000 And I, like many of you, have grown accustomed to kind of seeing that news report.

00:03:36.000 You kind of say, okay, you know, Hamas, they fire rockets or Hezbollah fires rockets.

00:03:41.000 And you just kind of, you know, okay, I hope not too many people died, right?

00:03:45.000 So then I kind of turned the channel.

00:03:46.000 And then all of a sudden, you know, I keep going back and forth between, and they're like, oh, the death toll's at 100.

00:03:52.000 I'm like, that's unusual, right?

00:03:53.000 That tolls at 200.

00:03:54.000 I'm like, okay, well, something's very off here, right?

00:03:57.000 This is not exactly what we have grown accustomed to, where rockets and then there's like a five or six day conflict and then they come to some sort of a ceasefire.

00:04:08.000 And then all of a sudden I was like, 500 people.

00:04:10.000 I was like, what on earth is going on here?

00:04:12.000 700 people.

00:04:14.000 And now the number is 900, 950 people.

00:04:17.000 And I was just kind of shocked to be perfectly honest.

00:04:21.000 I've been to Israel a couple times.

00:04:22.000 If you haven't been, highly recommend it.

00:04:24.000 It will change your life.

00:04:26.000 It's a really amazing, great country in a lot of different ways.

00:04:29.000 I mean, I don't agree with everything they do politically, but as a Christian, being able to actually go where Christ resurrected, where Christ walked on the water, to go prove that the Bible is true, changed my life, right?

00:04:40.000 The Bible went from something that was, you know, obviously I believed in to something like, oh, wow, that is exactly where Abram or Abraham bought the, you know, the Hall of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Sarah, Becca, and Leah.

00:04:55.000 For me, it made me a much stronger and more serious believing Christian.

00:05:00.000 And for that alone, I was just infinitely blessed.

00:05:03.000 I was able to go to Capernaum and go to the Mount of the Beatitudes and go to the Mount of the Olives and go to the Garden Tomb and go to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

00:05:10.000 And it was just, it blew my mind.

00:05:12.000 I went there a couple times.

00:05:13.000 And so I see Israel completely under attack.

00:05:16.000 And I assumed that it was a typical military type attack, right? 0.96

00:05:21.000 So, you know, bad guys go and kill militants.

00:05:23.000 But I said, something's not right here.

00:05:25.000 900 people?

00:05:26.000 The IDF, they're like the best fighting force in the world.

00:05:29.000 And I still think there's something missing to the story, to be perfectly honest.

00:05:32.000 Something doesn't make sense.

00:05:33.000 And I think we're going to find out that the Israeli government was double-crossed by somebody within because it just, there's no way that six hours it takes to respond for this.

00:05:42.000 But this was not a typical military type installation, not installation, operation.

00:05:48.000 This was a massacre.

00:05:50.000 This was the closest thing that any of you have lived through to the Holocaust in your lifetime. 0.87

00:05:56.000 The Hamas militants that do this in the name of Islam, yelling Allah Akbar, go and did not seek out militants, but seek out women and children actively. 0.91

00:06:06.000 Go to a concert and kill 250 people completely and totally indiscriminately.

00:06:11.000 And as the reports come in, and there's some debates, you know, debates about what the, there's some reports, did they actually cut the heads off of babies or not? 0.77

00:06:20.000 It could be war propaganda, but it's savagery, right? 0.87

00:06:23.000 It's 900 people that we know that have been intentionally murdered.

00:06:26.000 And almost like clockwork, the next day in New York City, you have thousands of people in the streets cheering this on and celebrating this.

00:06:35.000 Like this is the greatest thing ever.

00:06:37.000 And organized by the Democrat Socialists of America.

00:06:40.000 I'll get to that in a second.

00:06:42.000 And then you have members of Congress saying, well, this is what happens when you push a group too far.

00:06:48.000 Like, what would you expect?

00:06:50.000 And one of the things I want to kind of paint for you tonight is the very same narratives that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are using is the same stuff that we hear in our own politics all the time.

00:07:02.000 We hear it in the trans debate.

00:07:04.000 We hear it in the BLM debate. 0.84

00:07:05.000 And I'm going to kind of connect all of it, which is that we need to justify illegal immoral activity by a group because the white man or Western civilization or America pushed them to a boiling point.

00:07:18.000 And I'll prove it to you.

00:07:19.000 After the death of George Floyd, all of a sudden there's all this looting and burning of buildings.

00:07:24.000 They said, well, this is what happens when you don't treat a group correctly.

00:07:28.000 No, there's never an excuse to loot and to murder and to kill and to go after police officers.

00:07:34.000 That's never the right excuse.

00:07:36.000 And this goes to a broader project that they're going, which is towards decolonization.

00:07:40.000 And so, anyway, we kind of go into these last couple of days.

00:07:44.000 And you guys have ever seen the men will know exactly what I mean.

00:07:48.000 Those are internet culture, the FAFO chart, right?

00:07:52.000 Yeah, Hamas is about to find out in a very serious way.

00:07:56.000 Just hope you know not too many civilians get killed in the way.

00:07:58.000 I mean that.

00:07:59.000 But it was complete and total indiscriminate savagery.

00:08:02.000 If you don't know what I was just talking about, Google it, I guess is the best way I could say that.

00:08:08.000 So how should we think of Americans like this?

00:08:10.000 About this.

00:08:11.000 So first and foremost, I mean, I have a heart for Israel, so I'm kind of biased in this.

00:08:15.000 I do think we should put our country first.

00:08:17.000 I don't think we should put troops on the ground.

00:08:18.000 No, do I think we need to, honestly.

00:08:20.000 Let Israel be Israel and let them take this into their own hands, and they will. 0.99

00:08:26.000 But the UN is coming out and they say, well, you know, we want a peacefire.

00:08:29.000 It's easy for you to say when 900 of your own people weren't just slaughtered in the streets.

00:08:35.000 And this goes to a deeper question, which is what was on display very clearly was barbary versus civilization.

00:08:44.000 And in no context, can you possibly justify, you know, as a military operation going in and just targeting the women and the children and saying, this is who I want to try to kill.

00:08:59.000 And then they celebrate it, they come back to Gaza and they get celebrated as heroes.

00:09:03.000 And then on top of it, Black Lives Matter Global Network today posts on social media saying that we stand with Palestine with a picture of one of the gliders coming in.

00:09:13.000 So you might say, what on earth does a Black Lives Matter activist in Chicago have to do with a Hamas militant in the Middle East?

00:09:24.000 And that is intersectionality.

00:09:26.000 And intersectionality is exactly why you will see on college campuses people that otherwise would completely not agree on anything come together to fight conservatives, fight America.

00:09:39.000 This is why you'll see, you know, for example, you'll see like the pro-Palestine groups and like the LGBT groups.

00:09:47.000 You're like, yeah, I don't think you guys really know much about each other at all.

00:09:53.000 Like, have you ever talked?

00:09:55.000 I mean, try visiting Gaza as like an openly gay person. 0.89

00:09:59.000 Like, they'll give you a flying lesson off the top of a building. 0.60

00:10:01.000 Like, not exactly.

00:10:03.000 It's not a joke, by the way.

00:10:04.000 It's like, you know, you think that America's homophobic? 0.99

00:10:08.000 Yeah, go take a waltz in like a random Muslim Arab country with your gay pride flag won't work very well for you at all. 0.99

00:10:16.000 Yet they find themselves as happy partners. 0.59

00:10:18.000 And Kimberly Crenshaw, who's an academic 30 years ago, came up with this idea of intersectionality, which is that we must identify the great Satan, identify the big enemy, and bring together all of these mobilized parts.

00:10:31.000 And so this is a generalization, but in America, you're usually a conservative if you produce more than you complain.

00:10:39.000 You're usually a left-winger if you complain more than you produce.

00:10:43.000 That's the best way I can explain the right and the left, okay?

00:10:47.000 Now, there's some nuance to that.

00:10:49.000 You know, if you produce kids, if you produce a healthy marriage, if you have a good church, if you produce a business, if you produce for your family, you're more likely to be a conservative.

00:11:00.000 If you complain more than you produce, aka liberals, all they do is complain all day long.

00:11:04.000 Their entire political project, the American left, is how can I get up in life to not work and to complain?

00:11:09.000 It's the simplest, it's simplification, but it's 100% true.

00:11:13.000 Take to the streets because they're transphobia.

00:11:15.000 Like, why don't you get a job?

00:11:16.000 Like, go become super rich.

00:11:17.000 No, because it's really a terrible country. 0.99

00:11:19.000 They're just lazy.

00:11:20.000 Like, honestly, like, you just don't want to work.

00:11:22.000 You just don't want to work. 0.97

00:11:23.000 And you want somebody else to go pay for your deranged lunatic delusional ideas.

00:11:27.000 And you don't actually want to go wake up early and take responsibility for your own life. 0.91

00:11:33.000 And so that's the best way.

00:11:34.000 Again, it's not everyone on the right can be programmed into that.

00:11:40.000 But in life, if you produce, you then want to conserve.

00:11:45.000 In life, if you complain, you want to tear down.

00:11:49.000 Easy way to think about it, right?

00:11:51.000 Again, there's some nuance to that, but that's a pretty simple way where you look at the American political project.

00:11:55.000 Intersectionality is built on we are going to elevate all sorts of different groups that complain.

00:12:02.000 So that's why you have the race arsonists from BLM that combine with the Palestinian groups, that combine with the LGBT groups, and they say, we are all in this together. 0.98

00:12:11.000 And the group that organized that despicable rally in New York City, where they're literally saying, kill the Jews, you know, kill the Jews, unbelievable videos, right?

00:12:19.000 Here in America, which begs the question of immigration, which I'll get to in a second, why these people were ever let into America in the first place is a failure of our own political system. 0.93

00:12:28.000 We shouldn't import people that hate the country.

00:12:30.000 Just pretty simple, simple truth.

00:12:34.000 But the Democrat socialists of America are the ones that organize this.

00:12:38.000 I mean, usually socialists are really worried about going after the bourgeoisie and protecting the proletariat and the middle class.

00:12:44.000 I mean, like, where in Karl Marx's manifesto does it talk about Hamas?

00:12:48.000 Not there, right?

00:12:49.000 In Das Capital.

00:12:51.000 But instead, Marxism has been broadened by Gramsci and Marcuse and Foucault to say, anybody in power, we must take out.

00:12:58.000 And they identify the power structure in America as white Christian men who are in charge of Western society. 0.89

00:13:05.000 And anything they support, we must oppose.

00:13:07.000 And we must mobilize every group together to try to deconstruct them.

00:13:12.000 Again, these people complain for a living.

00:13:13.000 They're good for nothing, who do not produce anything.

00:13:16.000 So they have to try to tear down what others have created.

00:13:20.000 They want to tear down your family.

00:13:22.000 They want to tear down your business.

00:13:24.000 They want to tear down your faith.

00:13:26.000 Guess what?

00:13:26.000 It takes zero skill to complain.

00:13:29.000 It's hard to produce.

00:13:31.000 It's hard to do good things.

00:13:34.000 I have no respect for somebody that says, you know, the world is just so systemically unjust.

00:13:39.000 And I'm just, I'm going to become an activist or just kind of meander from life.

00:13:42.000 It's a lie.

00:13:43.000 America's broken in a lot of different ways.

00:13:46.000 But if you still apply yourself, you can make something of yourself, period.

00:13:49.000 There's a lot that we should do differently from a political standpoint, a lot we should do differently from a policy standpoint.

00:13:54.000 But I'm not going to come up here and just say, you know what?

00:13:56.000 It's completely rigged against you.

00:13:58.000 What's the point?

00:14:00.000 If you want that, show up at any one of your probably political science classes here.

00:14:04.000 I don't know how bad it is here, but you could tell me.

00:14:06.000 I mean, but that's basically all of the garbage that you could be fed in those classes can be summarized into that.

00:14:11.000 But you would think, why would the Democrat Socialists of America be focused on that?

00:14:15.000 It's because they're constantly looking at any attack vector to destabilize Western civilization.

00:14:21.000 You are living in what they think is the problem.

00:14:24.000 You're living in what I believe is the blessing.

00:14:27.000 That is the difference.

00:14:28.000 I believe you're living in an act of blessing.

00:14:31.000 They believe you're living in an act of problem.

00:14:35.000 People say, well, we can have common ground.

00:14:37.000 I don't know how you find common ground.

00:14:39.000 If I think we're living in the greatest experiment in self-government in human history, and they think we're living in the most oppressed, awful place, where's the common ground exactly?

00:14:50.000 We're not even talking about policy.

00:14:51.000 The approach itself is wrong.

00:14:54.000 And so this can boil down to with intersectionality is that they never want to try to improve the conditions of the groups that they allegedly represent.

00:15:04.000 They would rather stay more powerful to try to call the other side fascist or enemies of democracy while never actually saying to the group of people, we're going to materially make your life better.

00:15:17.000 As soon as the American left basically took over political control of the black community, the black community got poor.

00:15:23.000 It's been an awful deal for the black community.

00:15:26.000 And yet they keep on electing, you know, left-wingers and people that are Marxists, basically, because, ooh, we have to be afraid of the evil right-wing conservative.

00:15:34.000 Same thing could be said with Hamas and with these Arab countries. 0.65

00:15:37.000 Instead of saying, wait, hold on a second, like, okay, you guys are the Palestinian Authority. 0.60

00:15:40.000 Like, why is it that Israel is able to make a desert bloom and make an unbelievable miracle in the Middle East? 0.53

00:15:49.000 And like every other country that surrounds Israel is basically outside of oil, a third world hellhole. 0.96

00:15:54.000 Why is that exactly?

00:15:57.000 And they don't want you to ask that question because they'll say, oh, Israel blockades us.

00:16:02.000 No, no, Israel is blockaded. 1.00

00:16:05.000 So don't give me that crap. 1.00

00:16:07.000 Israel is the most hated country in the entire region. 1.00

00:16:10.000 Every single, and they're finally making some progress, you know, peace deal with Egypt and all this.

00:16:14.000 And thanks to President Trump, you know, we finally saw some things going in the right direction.

00:16:17.000 But no.

00:16:18.000 These Arab countries and these Muslim countries have everything at their tool and their ability to actually improve the condition of their countries, but they don't. 1.00

00:16:26.000 First, they're captured by a religious ideology that prevents them from doing certain things.

00:16:30.000 But secondly, some of these dictators stay in power because if actually people started to develop themselves into a middle class, maybe they would ask the question, why do we have a dictator?

00:16:39.000 Like, why do we have Assad? 0.67

00:16:41.000 Why do we have it?

00:16:42.000 If they actually liberalize some of these countries, and again, I'm not a neoliberal, but basically, if you can own stuff and trade, your life generally is going to get better.

00:16:50.000 No, but instead, they would rather stay permanently in power.

00:16:54.000 And Israel for them is a license for them to stay in political power because they can say, look, look at the Jews. 0.96

00:17:00.000 Look at Israel. 0.98

00:17:03.000 They're the great enemy.

00:17:04.000 And honestly, someone who's living in absolute poverty in Yemen needs to be like, we don't even border Israel. 1.00

00:17:12.000 Why don't our leaders feed us?

00:17:14.000 They don't want them answering, asking that question.

00:17:17.000 And that's exactly the same reason why the people in charge of BLM in this country don't want the black community to say, wait a second, you guys have been in charge of the black community for 50 years. 0.97

00:17:27.000 It's more murderous, poorer.

00:17:29.000 Our quality of life has decreased substantially.

00:17:32.000 We have more single mothers than ever before.

00:17:34.000 How is that the white man's fault exactly? 1.00

00:17:36.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:17:36.000 Keep electing, you know, the black left-winger because the evil fascist might come and hunt you down. 1.00

00:17:43.000 They never actually care about delivering results for the communities that they represent. 0.94

00:17:49.000 And it's a tragedy, honestly.

00:17:51.000 It's a tragedy.

00:17:53.000 So if the Palestinians focused on prosperity instead of killing, they could live the same way. 1.00

00:18:01.000 Here's a fact for you. 0.54

00:18:03.000 8% of the Palestinian authorities' budget, 8% is for a program called Pay for Slay, which means that if you are a militant and you kill a Jew, your family gets money for the rest of their life. 0.52

00:18:17.000 You guys don't know this?

00:18:20.000 Pay for Slay, 8% of the entire budget.

00:18:23.000 So basically all of these militants that killed Jews and they're going to be killed by the IDF, their family is going to get money. 0.98

00:18:33.000 So they're subsidizing the killing of Jews. 0.90

00:18:36.000 Like, how about use that 8%? 0.81

00:18:37.000 I don't know, to build a school or to help people's lives.

00:18:40.000 No, no, no, because they prioritize the conflict.

00:18:43.000 And by the way, it's $300 million a year, just so we're clear.

00:18:47.000 So they always complain, we're blockaded.

00:18:49.000 We have no, wait, hold on a second. 0.93

00:18:51.000 Your leaders are thugs, Mahamud Abbas, who doesn't even want to do an election.

00:18:54.000 Why don't you have that $300 million and actually spend it on the livelihood of their people? 0.85

00:18:59.000 They don't want to do that.

00:19:00.000 And so the other part I want to talk about is immigration.

00:19:02.000 Then we'll do some questions, which is, you know, I watch these rallies in New York City.

00:19:07.000 And here's just a truism for life.

00:19:09.000 What you allow into your country, your country will soon become. 1.00

00:19:12.000 Okay?

00:19:13.000 That's not controversial.

00:19:15.000 And so we don't have a southern border.

00:19:17.000 I'm not here to scare you.

00:19:18.000 I don't do the hysteria stuff.

00:19:20.000 It's a fact that there are sleeper cells in this country.

00:19:23.000 We have allowed hundreds of people on the terror watch list to come in without any sort of screening.

00:19:28.000 We do not have a border, right?

00:19:30.000 8 million people have come in.

00:19:31.000 We don't know who they are.

00:19:32.000 They could be murderers. 0.96

00:19:33.000 They could be rapists. 0.97

00:19:34.000 They could be all sorts of different people. 0.58

00:19:36.000 By the way, this is the Biden's regime's numbers.

00:19:39.000 130 people on the terror watch list that have just scampered across the border.

00:19:42.000 They could be in Orlando.

00:19:43.000 They could be in Dallas.

00:19:44.000 They could be in San Francisco.

00:19:46.000 And those sleeper cells could be activated at any moment.

00:19:48.000 And I don't do that as a way to try to scare you.

00:19:50.000 It's just a fact that if this stuff really heats up in the Middle East, they could activate a series of people that actually hate us.

00:19:55.000 And if you want to go a step further, the one thing that we actually should have fixed after 9-11, it was not making it harder to get on an airplane so you have to have a, you can't have a water bottle, right?

00:20:04.000 Which is the TSA is one of the, in my opinion, one of the worst overreactions to a tragedy.

00:20:10.000 The TSA doesn't make anybody safer.

00:20:12.000 It makes everybody angrier.

00:20:13.000 It makes travel sloppier.

00:20:15.000 And it created like this whole new like post office style bureaucracy.

00:20:19.000 And some of them are really nice people, and some of them should honestly be working nowhere.

00:20:24.000 It's like so slow.

00:20:25.000 And by the way, I don't know what it is about Orlando.

00:20:28.000 You guys have the worst TSA situation of, it is unbelievable.

00:20:35.000 I mean, I think if I were, I've traveled 3,100 days in the last 10 years.

00:20:39.000 So I can say this, literally every airport in the country, I know the code, MCO.

00:20:46.000 And I think I've wasted like 15 hours in the TSA line at Orlando.

00:20:50.000 It's not an exaggeration.

00:20:52.000 I mean, it's unbelievable.

00:20:53.000 But anyway, did that make us safer?

00:20:54.000 You know what would have made us safer?

00:20:56.000 If we would have said, wait a second, 9-11 was somewhat of an intelligence failure, but it was mostly an immigration failure.

00:21:03.000 We didn't have the courage to say that.

00:21:06.000 That we allowed people into the country that hated us, that we did not screen, that we did not know who they were.

00:21:12.000 The one takeaway that actually would make us safer from 9-11, we refuse to actually do.

00:21:18.000 We did all the wrong stuff.

00:21:20.000 We like built this massive spy agency on Americans that are now being used against right-wingers.

00:21:25.000 We have the Department of Homeland Security that again has the TSA underneath it.

00:21:29.000 And so when it talks about immigration, my ideal immigration situation is not going to be implemented anytime soon.

00:21:37.000 But if we have some change at leadership, maybe that could happen, which is your country will cease to exist if you keep on bringing people in that don't share your core values, fail to assimilate, and in fact have resentment for your core values.

00:21:51.000 And we have to have the courage to say that.

00:21:53.000 And when someone calls you a racist, tell them to go to hell and say it again and say that when you as a country keep on bringing people that don't share your values, your country will cease to exist. 0.98

00:22:03.000 Period. 0.98

00:22:05.000 And I'm going to just focus on, I'm going to focus on, you know, the mascot of all this, which is Elon Omar.

00:22:11.000 Elon Omar is basically the poster child of an ingrate.

00:22:16.000 And an ingrate, I know some people actually don't know what that word means.

00:22:19.000 It just means ingratitude.

00:22:20.000 Okay, don't get too excited.

00:22:22.000 I'm not talking about her suspicious relationship with her brother or any of that stuff.

00:22:25.000 I'm not getting into that.

00:22:25.000 Okay.

00:22:26.000 I definitely wouldn't mention that. 1.00

00:22:27.000 I'm talking about how she's an ingrate. 0.77

00:22:30.000 Okay?

00:22:31.000 Just being very clear.

00:22:34.000 Gratitude is what every university should produce.

00:22:37.000 And we get the opposite.

00:22:38.000 We get ingratitude.

00:22:39.000 Remember, if you complain more than you produce, you're on the left.

00:22:42.000 And people that do that end up being ungrateful.

00:22:47.000 Elon Omar, rescued in a Kenyan refugee camp by Americans, war torn Somalia, comes to America, does not assimilate, right?

00:22:56.000 Goes into very, very radical circles.

00:22:59.000 Mini Mogadishu, which is in Minneapolis, Somali communities, they've taken over almost all of Minneapolis now. 1.00

00:23:05.000 It's really sad.

00:23:06.000 And she runs for Congress, and then she comes to Congress, and one of her first tweets, speeches, you know, collection of them, it's about how America is systemically racist.

00:23:15.000 And I think that's repulsive.

00:23:17.000 First of all, it's a lie.

00:23:19.000 And I'm like, excuse me, madam.

00:23:23.000 We're so racist we rescued you from a Kenyan refugee camp. 1.00

00:23:27.000 And now you're a member of Congress?

00:23:29.000 Like, go back to Mogadishu, honestly.

00:23:31.000 I mean that.

00:23:32.000 That's where she should represent. 0.99

00:23:35.000 And she has nothing but mean-spiritedness towards us as Americans. 1.00

00:23:41.000 And every other time she gets on, it's always destabilizing the country.

00:23:46.000 It's never about, you know what?

00:23:48.000 What a beautiful place.

00:23:49.000 Maybe I should check my pride and my ego and have a little gratitude for Western society that was nice enough to come to a Kenyan refugee camp and lift me out from the third world into the top of the first world. 0.83

00:24:01.000 I don't get that from her ever.

00:24:04.000 Instead, it's always about and Rashida Talib, born in America, talks exactly the same.

00:24:08.000 But Elon Omar's story is just so shocking.

00:24:12.000 And at that, the past couple years, it's been more and more clarifying for me, which is that this immigration situation, which ties into what's going with Israel somewhat, but more broadly, this is the unsustainable ingredient. 0.82

00:24:25.000 People say, Charlie, America, will it continue?

00:24:28.000 Not if we keep on bringing people into the country that hate us.

00:24:31.000 It will not.

00:24:32.000 You cannot, because then some people say, you know, well, we can win them over and you know, they will liberalize, and eventually they'll be wearing like Levi jeans.

00:24:42.000 Like, again, Elon Omar stopped working, right?

00:24:46.000 She's wearing the headgarb, whole deal.

00:24:49.000 Like, has here's a provocative question: Has American culture impacted Elon Omar more, or has Elon Omar impacted American culture more?

00:25:00.000 Because we used to believe our culture is so strong we can change anybody.

00:25:06.000 No, it's not true.

00:25:07.000 It's strong to change some people that are willing to change.

00:25:11.000 When immigrants came in the 1920s or 30s, they learned the language, they assimilated to the country, they wanted to be part of a bigger project.

00:25:20.000 Now, when some groups come to the country, they're like, no, I'm going to keep on speaking my native language.

00:25:24.000 I'm not going to assimilate, and I don't have resentment for this place.

00:25:27.000 There's an interview that was aired on, you know, Fox with this guy was going back and forth, this young lady, full mask on, not a Fauci mask, like, you know, the Taliban type mask.

00:25:38.000 And she, I'm not kidding, it's what it is.

00:25:41.000 And the guy said, Do you want to put America first?

00:25:43.000 She's like, why would I want to put America first?

00:25:46.000 And he says, well, are you a U.S. passport holder?

00:25:48.000 She's like, of course I am.

00:25:50.000 And it's like that, and I hate to put it this way because it's so cruel.

00:25:54.000 I mean, it's the suicide of the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:25:58.000 You cannot have an act of insurgency, all the while, by the way, filled simultaneously with us training our young to hate the country.

00:26:09.000 And they kind of meet in the middle and they're like, We've been waiting for each other, right? 0.92

00:26:13.000 The 20-year-old white woke, you know, kid from Boca Raton that's never worked an honest day in his life who thinks he's figured everything out because, you know, he read Karl Marx and he wants to take other people's stuff because he's a lazy bum.

00:26:26.000 And, you know, the 25-year-old from Mogadishu, they're like, I've been waiting for you. 0.83

00:26:34.000 Together, we can destroy the great Satan.

00:26:38.000 And we must stop them.

00:26:40.000 That's what we stand for, a lot more than that.

00:26:42.000 But honestly, we must draw the line in the sand and say, honestly, if you have resentment, bitterness, rage, anger for this nation, like you shouldn't be anywhere near political power.

00:26:52.000 You shouldn't be in charge of anything.

00:26:53.000 We have to multiply our numbers to find the people that are thankful to be here, despite our political differences, and to keep on persuading where necessary, building coalitions, because I want this country to continue.

00:27:03.000 I want this country to survive.

00:27:04.000 And one of the reasons why we don't actually do what is necessary and what is right is because we're afraid of the names that people call us.

00:27:18.000 And yeah, they call you a racist.

00:27:22.000 Great.

00:27:23.000 Means nothing.

00:27:25.000 They're doing it jokingly, but somebody might actually, maybe you're not.

00:27:27.000 I don't know.

00:27:30.000 It doesn't mean anything.

00:27:33.000 If you will change your language based on somebody calling you a name, you have never graduated third grade.

00:27:50.000 And think about some of you probably are like, boy, I actually do change my language because of name-calling.

00:27:55.000 I could lose my job.

00:27:56.000 Yeah, you could lose your job.

00:27:58.000 I could get kicked out of class.

00:27:59.000 Yeah, could.

00:28:00.000 Yeah, there's high stakes for this.

00:28:01.000 I get it.

00:28:02.000 There is.

00:28:03.000 But the country's worth more than kowtowing to people that have never built anything, that are filled with resentment, who call you names because they want you to bend a knee to their agenda.

00:28:14.000 And one of the reasons why, you know, it's so well attended here tonight is that there actually are more of us than them.

00:28:20.000 We just have to start speaking out.

00:28:23.000 There are great people in this country.

00:28:26.000 And our courage is growing.

00:28:28.000 And our resolve is intensifying.

00:28:31.000 And we care less and less about the name-calling.

00:28:33.000 And we're finding more allies.

00:28:35.000 And we're supporting the good guys.

00:28:37.000 And we're starting turning point USA chapters all across the country to fight back against this nonsense.

00:28:44.000 So, and that's what gives me hope: I'm starting to see people finally start to rise up and fight for what is right.

00:28:56.000 Strong Cell is amazing.

00:28:58.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.

00:29:03.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?

00:29:06.000 How do you just keep on pushing?

00:29:08.000 Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.

00:29:14.000 Fact-check me on this.

00:29:15.000 You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.

00:29:16.000 Type this into your search engine: NADH.

00:29:21.000 Just type it in.

00:29:22.000 What does it tell you?

00:29:23.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.

00:29:28.000 Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.

00:29:31.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.

00:29:37.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people with a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.

00:29:41.000 It's a fact.

00:29:42.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.

00:29:45.000 I take NAD every single day.

00:29:48.000 I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things on it.

00:29:53.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:29:54.000 I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something, but fact-check me.

00:29:58.000 Look at it.

00:29:59.000 And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.

00:30:01.000 I wake up better than ever before.

00:30:03.000 NAD can help you potentially, again, fact-check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.

00:30:10.000 It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.

00:30:16.000 You guys can use promo code Charlie for 20% off.

00:30:18.000 It's strongcell.com/slash Charlie.

00:30:21.000 NAD might be nature's secret weapon for you.

00:30:26.000 I love it.

00:30:26.000 I take it every single day.

00:30:28.000 Try to try it for at least 30 days to see the maximum benefit.

00:30:32.000 And let me know, has NAD helped your life?

00:30:34.000 Strongcell.com/slash Charlie.

00:30:36.000 Check it out.

00:30:37.000 Strongsell.com/slash Charlie.

00:30:41.000 Okay, let's do some questions, everybody.

00:30:43.000 Nope, not raising hands.

00:30:44.000 We're just going to have you guys line up and we're redoing it.

00:30:46.000 Right, left, in between.

00:30:47.000 All right, let me tell you the ground rules.

00:30:49.000 Couple things.

00:30:50.000 If you very eager.

00:30:53.000 So, a couple things.

00:30:55.000 If you disagree, you can go to the front of the line.

00:30:58.000 Our team will talk to you.

00:30:59.000 You're very eager to disagree.

00:31:01.000 Great.

00:31:01.000 So one sec.

00:31:04.000 So this is a predominantly conservative audience.

00:31:11.000 If a liberal shows up to ask a question and you find it laughable or you find it whatever, don't boo, don't mock.

00:31:20.000 Give them the respect that liberals never give us.

00:31:23.000 Okay?

00:31:26.000 I still believe in freedom of speech, and that means the freedom to be heard.

00:31:32.000 And for any liberals that are here tonight, I want you to just file this away.

00:31:36.000 You might be unconvinced by anything I say, but maybe this will all of a sudden bloom into a flower of enlightenment later in your life.

00:31:45.000 When a liberal comes and speaks on campus, do they invite the conservatives who disagree to the front of the line for over an hour to hear, to say whatever they want to say?

00:31:57.000 And with that, let's do the first question.

00:32:00.000 Hey, I'm Matthew Mountford.

00:32:01.000 I'm the president of the Orlando Activism Hub.

00:32:04.000 Awesome.

00:32:05.000 What I'm wondering for you is what prompted you to start Turning Point USA?

00:32:09.000 Boy, honestly, I was 18 years old at the time.

00:32:13.000 I was going to go to West Point, didn't get in.

00:32:15.000 Took a gap year.

00:32:16.000 It's been 11 gap years.

00:32:18.000 And it's highly recommended.

00:32:22.000 I'm actually turning 30 on Saturday.

00:32:24.000 It's a real midlife crisis.

00:32:25.000 It's crazy.

00:32:25.000 So it's got to be.

00:32:28.000 No, I can't believe we made it this long.

00:32:31.000 No, at the pace that I've been going, you want to break your neck or back, travel 3,200 days in a decade, a million mile on every airline, been to 20 countries, done all sorts of crazy things, been super blessed.

00:32:45.000 But yeah, honestly, I was motivated at the time and I'm motivated now.

00:32:48.000 I don't sit idly by when evil is on the march.

00:32:50.000 It's that simple.

00:32:52.000 I don't like bullies.

00:32:52.000 I don't like evil.

00:32:53.000 I hate evil, actually.

00:32:56.000 Psalm 97, 10 is really my life verse.

00:32:59.000 If you love God, you must hate evil.

00:33:01.000 And that is really kind of what I do what I do.

00:33:04.000 And I love the Lord.

00:33:04.000 I'm obedient to him to the best I can.

00:33:07.000 We all stumble.

00:33:07.000 We all fall.

00:33:08.000 But my life's work is about fighting evil.

00:33:10.000 I think Christians, conservatives, whatever you, I'm a Christian, but if you're a conservative, we've done a very poor job at fighting evil.

00:33:16.000 It's everywhere.

00:33:16.000 It's abundant.

00:33:17.000 It's platformed.

00:33:19.000 And that's why I started Turning Point.

00:33:20.000 And honestly, it's why I try to rise up a generation of young people to speak the truth against all the nonsense in our country.

00:33:26.000 God bless you, man.

00:33:27.000 Thank you.

00:33:27.000 And thanks for your invitation.

00:33:28.000 Thank you.

00:33:33.000 Hi, I'm Ivy.

00:33:34.000 I am the Daytona State College chapter president for Turning Point USA.

00:33:38.000 Not too far apart.

00:33:39.000 I'm trying to piggyback off of what you were just saying.

00:33:41.000 When I became a girl mom, my whole world perspective and biblical perspective changed.

00:33:47.000 How has, since you've become a girl dad, how has that changed your mindset and the way you view things, especially when you've got a little daughter to take care of now?

00:33:57.000 It changes everything.

00:33:58.000 And I mean this.

00:33:58.000 I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but that's why I'm here, right?

00:34:01.000 So I take the complaint to the childless less seriously.

00:34:07.000 That's not to say if you don't have children, I don't respect you.

00:34:10.000 But if you're very, very, very opinionated and you've never had to raise a child, I kind of say, listen, you're missing a big element of who we are as a species.

00:34:21.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:34:22.000 And again, there's some amazing people that have not been blessed to have children, and they've been incredibly obedient to God and they've built beautiful lives.

00:34:29.000 And so there's exceptions to everything, right?

00:34:32.000 But let's be honest, the exception is not governing the country, right?

00:34:37.000 The exception right now is childless people that are running our politics.

00:34:45.000 And the childless fundamentally are running the American left right now. 0.84

00:34:50.000 The number one most vocal group are childless young women who are in their 30s with cats.

00:35:00.000 Absolutely.

00:35:03.000 They are, they're militant.

00:35:05.000 They have college degrees.

00:35:06.000 They're partners at Deloitte.

00:35:09.000 But yeah, they ignored their biological urge to go have children.

00:35:12.000 Guess what? 0.96

00:35:13.000 Like, a lot of these young ladies, if you actually got them to tell the truth, they're probably filled with a lot of regret.

00:35:19.000 Yeah, I would say so too.

00:35:21.000 And they wish and they hope, and maybe if they pray, a lot of them don't believe in God, that they could have children.

00:35:27.000 And I mean this like non-sarcastically.

00:35:29.000 It's a profoundly sad state of political affairs in this country.

00:35:33.000 I'm sad for them because I have a daughter and that's one of the greatest, coolest blessings ever.

00:35:38.000 That it's not about me and that you get to actually serve somebody else.

00:35:43.000 Not to mention marriage, which is like the coolest thing ever.

00:35:46.000 But we've told young women, don't pursue your career. 0.98

00:35:49.000 Go get the piece of paper. 0.57

00:35:51.000 Maybe.

00:35:52.000 Maybe.

00:35:53.000 And then don't complain when you're 33 and you say all the good ones are gone.

00:35:57.000 You take a risk.

00:35:58.000 You're playing Russian roulette with your biological future if you put your career first.

00:36:03.000 And every young woman, more than young men, it's just the way it is. 0.60

00:36:06.000 I'm sorry, young men can wait longer.

00:36:07.000 Sorry.

00:36:08.000 It's not fair.

00:36:09.000 Every young lady has to sit seriously tonight and decide, and it's not always this way.

00:36:15.000 You can maybe have both.

00:36:16.000 Some people can, some people can't.

00:36:17.000 But you have to rank one more than the other.

00:36:20.000 Great career, great family.

00:36:22.000 And that should govern almost every major decision you make.

00:36:24.000 And that's not to say you can't try to have both, but that's a very important decision to make at a young age.

00:36:30.000 Agreed.

00:36:30.000 Thank you.

00:36:31.000 Appreciate it.

00:36:31.000 Thank you so much.

00:36:32.000 Thank you.

00:36:39.000 Hi, my name is Liam Borg.

00:36:41.000 I'm a proud member of the Young Democratic Socialists of America on campus.

00:36:45.000 I'm expecting booze from that.

00:36:46.000 I don't mind.

00:36:47.000 No, you're around conservatives, so.

00:36:50.000 Also, for the record, not that it matters, but if I were to host in the Vaton campus, I'd be more than happy to have people disagree with me to come first.

00:36:57.000 Unfortunately, I do not get to host events.

00:36:59.000 I wish.

00:37:00.000 First off, I wanted to just make a small factual correction to something that you said, which is about the 130 migrants on the terror list that have crossed the border.

00:37:11.000 The actual number is 160, and those were numbers that had been stopped at the border, meaning they were prevented from entering, which means that these people were stopped during the Biden administration.

00:37:21.000 So you're not exactly strengthening your argument.

00:37:24.000 It's actually higher.

00:37:25.000 Thank you.

00:37:26.000 And so how many gotaways have there been at the border this year?

00:37:29.000 Say that again, sorry?

00:37:30.000 Gotaways, people that weren't tracked that we don't know that came into the interior?

00:37:34.000 Unfortunately, that's kind of hard to track, as you said.

00:37:38.000 However, that's actually, I just wanted to.

00:37:39.000 Yeah, it's about 500,000 minimum.

00:37:43.000 I just wanted to give you that number, though, just so that you're aware.

00:37:43.000 Okay.

00:37:46.000 But that's actually not my question.

00:37:48.000 My point, I guess.

00:37:50.000 My point was about Palestine.

00:37:52.000 You mentioned what country?

00:37:54.000 Palestine.

00:37:55.000 Okay, where is that?

00:37:56.000 In the Middle East.

00:37:57.000 Wait, is it in Judea and Samaria?

00:38:00.000 I'm sorry, say that again.

00:38:00.000 I can't hear you.

00:38:01.000 What country are you talking about?

00:38:03.000 Palestine.

00:38:04.000 It exists?

00:38:05.000 Yes.

00:38:05.000 Oh.

00:38:06.000 In fact, it existed before the current Israel.

00:38:08.000 Oh, really?

00:38:09.000 Yes.

00:38:09.000 According to who?

00:38:10.000 According to history books.

00:38:12.000 Oh, okay.

00:38:13.000 So wait, you mean Judea and Samaria, the rightful homeland of the Jews that they call the West Bank and they're currently occupying? 0.94

00:38:18.000 If you're going by religion, sure.

00:38:19.000 I personally don't go by religion.

00:38:20.000 Oh, what do you go by then?

00:38:22.000 Where the Arabs want to occupy? 0.99

00:38:23.000 Logic.

00:38:24.000 Oh, really?

00:38:25.000 History.

00:38:25.000 So whose is Gaza?

00:38:27.000 Gaza's location within Palestine.

00:38:29.000 But I'd like to go on to my point, if you will.

00:38:32.000 Currently, Israel is actually being labeled by international human rights organizations such as Amnesty International as an apartheid state because they are attacking many people from within Palestine.

00:38:46.000 And they have been actually, the land has been stolen from Palestine.

00:38:50.000 Not to say that the people in Israel do not deserve their own land.

00:38:55.000 I am personally, I am a believer in a two-state solution.

00:38:58.000 I want to make that clear.

00:38:59.000 And I also want to make clear that I do not agree with the recent incidents because there is no excuse for harming civilians.

00:39:06.000 However, I do want to make sure.

00:39:07.000 I'm going to be morally clear on that.

00:39:08.000 Good.

00:39:08.000 Thank you.

00:39:09.000 I do want to make clear that also Israel has captured more than 228 Palestinian children in which they held in containment.

00:39:17.000 And of these, 86% were beaten.

00:39:20.000 Oh, and these were, by the way, the 220 is only those that were able to be surveyed.

00:39:25.000 So they were recovered.

00:39:27.000 The 86% of those were beaten in detention, 69% were strip searched, and 42% were injured at the point of arrest.

00:39:35.000 Additionally, I would like to add, due to your claim about dictators, that Benjamin Netanyahu has been in power since 2009, and he also held in power from 1996 to 1999.

00:39:48.000 So you could argue that.

00:39:49.000 It was actually a moment when he wasn't prime minister.

00:39:51.000 That's not Taliban.

00:39:53.000 Naqtali Bennett was actually, and he's duly elected.

00:39:55.000 When was the last time Abbas won an election?

00:39:58.000 Say that again?

00:39:58.000 When was the last time Mahmoud Abbas won an election?

00:40:01.000 That I do currently not have.

00:40:02.000 Yeah, eight years.

00:40:02.000 They don't hold elections because they're under a dictatorship.

00:40:05.000 I'm just curious because I want to try to find some clarity more than agreement because we're not going to find agreement.

00:40:10.000 If Israel stopped fighting, what would happen?

00:40:13.000 If they laid down all their guns tomorrow, what would happen?

00:40:16.000 Personally, I can't say I'm not in charge of any of the leadership. 0.99

00:40:19.000 Yes, so all the Jews would be killed. 1.00

00:40:21.000 If Hamas laid down. 1.00

00:40:22.000 It's not about Judaism, though. 0.89

00:40:23.000 If Israel is actually the ones that have taken Palestine's land, they're killing people. 0.69

00:40:27.000 I'm just trying to find some moral clarity.

00:40:29.000 If Hamas laid down all of their weapons, what would we have?

00:40:33.000 There would be no more Palestinian people. 1.00

00:40:34.000 Peace is what we would have.

00:40:35.000 No, that's peace.

00:40:37.000 Excuse my language, but that's okay.

00:40:38.000 So let me ask this: why did Israel give Gaza back to the Arab Muslims?

00:40:42.000 For peace.

00:40:43.000 Why did they give the Sinai to Egypt for peace?

00:40:47.000 Missiles over there.

00:40:47.000 No, hold on.

00:40:48.000 I was like, why did they give the Sinai to Egypt?

00:40:50.000 For peace.

00:40:51.000 Why did they give the Gaza, Gaza strip, to the Palestinian Authority?

00:40:55.000 For peace.

00:40:56.000 In Hamas's charter, what does it say?

00:40:59.000 I'm not defending Hamas. 0.96

00:41:00.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:41:02.000 You're defending the Palestinian Authority, which is partners with Hamas, and they duly elected them. 1.00

00:41:07.000 How is Hamas's charter any different than Nazi Germany's charter towards the Jews? 0.71

00:41:11.000 I'm not defending any of that.

00:41:13.000 And for one, what are you defending?

00:41:14.000 Hold on, exactly.

00:41:15.000 For one, I'm defending the right of Palestine to exist, which I want to clarify.

00:41:20.000 I am not telling you that you're being Islamophobic by supporting Israel. 0.97

00:41:24.000 I'm not telling you that you want to kill the Muslims. 0.78

00:41:27.000 So trying to say that the existence of power is not available. 0.95

00:41:29.000 Here's a fact.

00:41:30.000 Let me tell you, I think this last weekend displayed the holes in your argument. 0.99

00:41:35.000 When Jews go for their high holy day, Arabs come in and kill Jews. 1.00

00:41:41.000 When Arabs want to have peace, the Jews will come to the table for a peace agreement. 0.99

00:41:45.000 Abraham Accords.

00:41:46.000 The Oslo Accords.

00:41:48.000 Anytime that the Arabs want to talk, the Jews will come to the table to talk in the pursuit of peace.

00:41:53.000 Meanwhile, this weekend and a slight vulnerability, what happened? 0.98

00:41:57.000 Jews are celebrating the end of Yom Kippur, the reading of the Torah, and they come in and they kill 900 Jews. 0.99

00:42:03.000 And answer me this: if this was an isolated incident, why were they greeted as heroes by the people of Gaza after they killed 900 women and children?

00:42:13.000 I want to make this clear once more because you seem to not be understanding.

00:42:16.000 I am not defending these actions.

00:42:18.000 I am simply refuting the claims that you made up earlier in this argument.

00:42:23.000 Here's the thing: I think a two-state solution sounds great if you don't actually live in reality.

00:42:28.000 Let me tell you what reality is: the Arabs don't want to govern their own people. 1.00

00:42:33.000 They would rather hate Jews. 0.99

00:42:34.000 Every day, they're saying death to the Jews. 1.00

00:42:37.000 Kill the Jews. 1.00

00:42:38.000 They do not want to govern their own people. 1.00

00:42:41.000 There is no middle ground when they have, they're screaming to the sky for Antifada.

00:42:48.000 Israel has been at the table time and time again.

00:42:50.000 Do you agree?

00:42:51.000 Abraham Accords, trying to find peace, trying to sit down with Mahmoud Abbas?

00:42:54.000 Israelites have hundreds of Palestinian children in detention.

00:42:58.000 They have sent missiles to Palestine and killed hundreds of civilians.

00:43:02.000 After this event, Netanyahu declared that he will send missiles to Palestine in an area where the Palestinian civilians are not able to leave.

00:43:11.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:43:12.000 Hold on a second.

00:43:12.000 You mean to Gaza?

00:43:14.000 Yes.

00:43:15.000 Right, where they actually gave warnings to apartment buildings?

00:43:18.000 What kind of Israel is so bad that they tell people to leave before they bomb them? 0.97

00:43:24.000 Hamas comes on a holy day in the kibbutzes and cuts women's heads off at concerts. 0.63

00:43:30.000 The moral equivalence is so different.

00:43:32.000 And let me just ask you: what do you think is a bigger impediment to peace?

00:43:35.000 Hamas or Israel? 0.82

00:43:37.000 If you would like, I'd prefer if you could stop interrupting me.

00:43:40.000 I'm the speaker, you're not.

00:43:41.000 So let me just remind you: like, you're a college kid.

00:43:44.000 So you came to our event.

00:43:46.000 So let me just ask you a very clear question.

00:43:48.000 Bigger impediment to peace, Palestinian authority or Israel? 0.96

00:43:51.000 Israel.

00:43:52.000 Prove it.

00:43:54.000 Israel.

00:43:55.000 One situation where Israel has not come to the table.

00:43:57.000 Israel has given up land.

00:43:58.000 When was the last time the Palestinian Authority willingly gave up land for peace?

00:44:02.000 Israel's land. 0.76

00:44:03.000 Because they don't want peace. 1.00

00:44:04.000 They want dead Jews. 0.99

00:44:06.000 And we as Americans should never put up with the intentional extermination of Jews again in our country. 0.99

00:44:13.000 Thank you.

00:44:13.000 Thanks for being here.

00:44:14.000 Israel.

00:44:15.000 Sir.

00:44:17.000 Thank you.

00:44:17.000 We're going to the next question.

00:44:20.000 We're going to the next question.

00:44:21.000 Thank you.

00:44:22.000 Thank you.

00:44:23.000 Why is it about it there?

00:44:24.000 We're going to take the next question.

00:44:25.000 Thank you.

00:44:26.000 Thank you. 0.91

00:44:27.000 That is closeted Jew hatred laundered through Arab talking points. 0.89

00:44:35.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:44:37.000 And like many of you, I'm a busy guy balancing family, show, travel, and TPUSA.

00:44:41.000 When I needed a mortgage, I went to my friends Andrew Del Ray and Tadavey at Sierra Pacific.

00:44:46.000 They were amazing.

00:44:47.000 And look, I had some complicated stuff.

00:44:48.000 Don't need to go into the details.

00:44:50.000 They handled it personally.

00:44:52.000 Call them if you have an aging family member, for example, that needs some financial relief.

00:44:57.000 Ask them about a reverse mortgage.

00:44:58.000 If you're self-employed and are finding it difficult to qualify because of that, they have my 100% full and complete endorsement.

00:45:05.000 Call them and help you prepare.

00:45:07.000 I'm telling you, anything mortgage-related, please call them and not the big wokebags. 0.99

00:45:37.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:45:39.000 Jonathan Arlo.

00:45:40.000 Nice to meet you.

00:45:41.000 Nice to meet you.

00:45:42.000 So I do have massive disagreements with you, but I do want to thank you for coming and speaking with us because I don't agree with people trying to silence you from speaking.

00:45:48.000 I don't think that's right.

00:45:49.000 So thank you for coming and speaking with us.

00:45:53.000 I don't really understand this idea that President Trump is anti-establishment because I think his record shows that he's actually really establishment.

00:46:02.000 So just a couple examples.

00:46:04.000 Like he took Barack Obama's drone strikes, which had a 90% civilian casualty rate.

00:46:10.000 And, you know, there was a bunch of war crimes that Barack Obama committed with that, killed innocent civilians and everything.

00:46:16.000 Trump took that and he increased Obama's drone strikes by 432%.

00:46:21.000 And even his first raid as president, the raid in Yemen killed an eight-year-old American girl.

00:46:27.000 And like another example, he filled his cabinet with like war hawks like John Bolton, who's never met a war he didn't like.

00:46:33.000 That's true.

00:46:34.000 Swampy people like Alexander Acosta, who he was literally the guy that like brokered the sweetheart deal for Jeffrey Epstein.

00:46:41.000 So I just don't get the and even his voting record, like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, they voted with him like 78% of the time.

00:46:48.000 Luce Cheney voted 90%.

00:46:50.000 Thanks for being here.

00:46:50.000 Let me challenge you because there's a pretty obvious point here.

00:46:55.000 If he was not anti-establishment, why does the establishment try to put him in prison for 500 years?

00:47:00.000 So hold on a second.

00:47:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:47:04.000 And by the way, on this drone thing, yeah, he might have continued drone programs.

00:47:07.000 Did he not try to end the Afghan war?

00:47:09.000 In fact, he was the only one in the room trying to end the war in Afghanistan.

00:47:12.000 And finally, if he was pro-establishment, how many new wars were started under Donald Trump?

00:47:17.000 Well, so for the establishment trying to lock him up, I do think there's legitimate crimes there.

00:47:23.000 We can disagree on that, but I do agree that the establishment.

00:47:26.000 We're definitely going to disagree on that.

00:47:28.000 I do agree that the establishment, it is a politically motivated thing because I think if he decided not to run, they wouldn't be going after him.

00:47:35.000 So I do think it's political, but I don't think it changes the fact that those are legitimate crimes.

00:47:38.000 But I don't think the establishment is scared of his, like, how he would govern.

00:47:42.000 What the establishment hates more about Donald Trump is that, like, he, whenever he's like running for president, he exposes the corruption in the establishment and he has a way of making it seem like he's not part of them while playing the game while governing.

00:47:56.000 So I don't think they're so scared of that.

00:47:57.000 Okay, so let's talk about three policy issues.

00:47:59.000 Yes.

00:48:00.000 What is the establishment regime position on trade?

00:48:04.000 The establishment.

00:48:05.000 Unlimited amount of trade, foreign products coming in, free trade.

00:48:09.000 What was Trump's position?

00:48:10.000 Tariffs on China?

00:48:11.000 Right?

00:48:11.000 Yeah.

00:48:12.000 Renegating NAFTA.

00:48:13.000 What is the establishment position on global type contracts?

00:48:17.000 For example, Paris Peace Treaty.

00:48:18.000 Trump got out of it, right?

00:48:20.000 Blew up all this stuff at the UN.

00:48:22.000 How about another issue?

00:48:23.000 Immigration.

00:48:23.000 What is the regime standard position on immigration?

00:48:28.000 Invade the world, invite the world, as many people as possible.

00:48:30.000 Trump put a travel ban on from China and had a terror watch list ban for any country in the Middle East.

00:48:37.000 So I could go position by position, not to mention, you know, look at Trump fired Comey.

00:48:45.000 Yeah, you agree with that one.

00:48:46.000 Yeah, but what kind of establishment guy fires the head of the FBI and then has to experience a two-year investigation launched by Mueller?

00:48:55.000 I think that investigation was BS2, but he put away Christopher, but he put in Christopher away.

00:49:00.000 Christopher Wray, right now, was protecting the Biden administration.

00:49:04.000 Fair enough.

00:49:05.000 That's a fair point.

00:49:06.000 He puts in establishment people.

00:49:08.000 So your argument is purely on personnel.

00:49:10.000 And let me just say this: Donald Trump, as Rush Limbaugh would say, selects personnel that is perplexing at times.

00:49:16.000 But what I think you will agree with is that his instincts and many of his major policy actions were generationally and transformationally against the regime establishment of the last 40 years in both political parties.

00:49:30.000 And whether it be war, immigration, trade, international type agreements, and understand, he was the only one that was fighting, and these people would come in and they'd lie to him.

00:49:41.000 I'm going to be an FBI director with this.

00:49:43.000 And he will be the first one to say, should have handled Fauci differently, should have handled Berks differently.

00:49:48.000 But you know what?

00:49:48.000 If you want to see Donald Trump unleashed, wait for term two Donald Trump to be able to go after the administrative state.

00:49:57.000 Thank you, man.

00:49:58.000 I appreciate it.

00:49:59.000 That was a constructive conversation.

00:49:59.000 Thank you.

00:50:01.000 Thank you.

00:50:02.000 Hello, my name is Nicolas Camacho, and you can just call me Nick.

00:50:06.000 I just want to start by saying that I am neither inclined to the left or inclined to the right.

00:50:12.000 And I just want to say that I don't necessarily always agree with everything that you say, but I do appreciate and really like your passion and dedication to making Americans be happy to be American, to be supportive of America, and to want to better America in every way possible.

00:50:28.000 And my question for you today is: would you consider it unfair for individuals of any political leaning to point out injustices and wrongdoings and failures of their opponents without the failures and shortcomings of ourselves first?

00:50:41.000 That's generally probably a good rule.

00:50:43.000 Okay.

00:50:44.000 I think that's it.

00:50:45.000 Thank you.

00:50:45.000 Yeah.

00:50:46.000 Okay, yeah.

00:50:46.000 I mean, for example, I criticize the Republican Party more than I criticize the Democrats.

00:50:50.000 And anyone who follows me knows that to be the case, right?

00:50:50.000 I agree.

00:50:55.000 One of the main reasons we are in the mess that we're in is we do not have an opposition party in this country. 0.97

00:51:00.000 Is that we have a uniparty type consensus that keeps the borders open, that is hungry to try to get us in another stupid war with Ukraine and Russia, which I think is one of the dumbest things we could possibly do while our own border is open. 0.79

00:51:12.000 And so my criticism goes more towards people that wear the Republican jersey than the Democrat jersey, actually. 0.51

00:51:18.000 My second part of that question is also how, in your professional opinion, do you think would be best for people of all colors, creeds, religions, political ideologies, and anything else come together to truly discuss and try to make furtherment?

00:51:32.000 Because right now it's just a back and forth.

00:51:33.000 It's just a tit for tat, and we're getting really nowhere.

00:51:36.000 Yeah, and we're not going to get anywhere, honestly.

00:51:39.000 And I mean, there's plenty of things you can fault the American right for.

00:51:44.000 Not embracing speech is not one of them.

00:51:46.000 I mean, look at this event.

00:51:48.000 We want the discourse.

00:51:50.000 We want the dialogue.

00:51:51.000 We want the disagreement.

00:51:52.000 We'll actively go on their shows and their podcasts.

00:51:55.000 But look, I hate to have some unfortunate news.

00:52:00.000 We don't have differences of opinion with a lot of leftists.

00:52:04.000 We have differences of morals.

00:52:06.000 And we have differences of worldview.

00:52:08.000 And that is a very, very sad truth, and it's very hard to reconcile.

00:52:12.000 I'll prove it to you.

00:52:13.000 Marxists want the destruction of the American Constitution.

00:52:17.000 I think it's the greatest political document ever written.

00:52:19.000 They want borders open.

00:52:20.000 I want the border closed.

00:52:22.000 They think that trans surgeries for kids, aka chemical castration, is acceptable. 0.97

00:52:28.000 I think it's modern-day medieval butchery, and anyone who does that should be put in prison for the rest of their life.

00:52:32.000 What I'm getting at is I don't quite know how to reconcile that.

00:52:41.000 So speech is the only way I can think of.

00:52:42.000 Thank you.

00:52:43.000 Appreciate it.

00:52:43.000 God bless.

00:52:44.000 Thanks.

00:52:48.000 I'm seeing how much I have to lean in.

00:52:49.000 Hi, how's it going, Mr. Kirk?

00:52:51.000 I have a disagreement about the whole Palestine-Israel thing.

00:52:54.000 I promise not to take up as much time as the last person who was up here.

00:52:57.000 But I'd like to open with maybe like a little statement, which is that, you know, I'm not too partial to either particular side of the political spectrum.

00:53:05.000 But I think that a sad reality is when we talk about the Palestine issue, the Gaza Strip is 50% people under the age of 15.

00:53:13.000 It's about 2 million people in about 5 to 25 square miles.

00:53:17.000 And the reality of it is that Israel has said they're going to make a complete siege of the area.

00:53:22.000 They've cut off electricity, they've cut off water.

00:53:25.000 And that's kind of a sad reality.

00:53:27.000 And the reality is they also can't leave.

00:53:29.000 There's only two ports of entry and exit.

00:53:31.000 And so as much as you or others might be pro-Israel, how do we not condemn the Israelis for taking away resources like water from a population that's the majority children? 0.63

00:53:45.000 And at what point do we say that it's kind of an open genocide, right?

00:53:48.000 Like when Israel... 0.92

00:53:49.000 Well, I mean, I know, I know it's easy to see.

00:53:51.000 You realize on Saturday they killed 900 people.

00:53:54.000 I'm not sure.

00:53:55.000 Yeah, I understand.

00:53:55.000 One side's doing the genocide.

00:53:57.000 The other side is retaliating.

00:53:58.000 Well, one side's definitely swinging up and one side's swinging down.

00:54:00.000 And I think that when you're a strip of land at which all of your water, airways, and electricity is controlled by a state, which you can't leave and it gets bombed by missiles, I don't really think it's quite equivocal.

00:54:12.000 I mean, obviously, everyone here can condemn the killing of civilians, and that's not a debate that I'm going to have with anybody, left or right.

00:54:18.000 Sure.

00:54:18.000 But at what point or time, you know, you say you criticize Republicans, but why don't we ever criticize Israel for what they're doing by turning off water?

00:54:26.000 I mean, how well?

00:54:27.000 I'm not going to criticize.

00:54:28.000 Again, let me just ask a hypothetical.

00:54:31.000 If Cuba came to Miami and killed 50,000 Americans, should we cut off their water?

00:54:37.000 Answer the question.

00:54:38.000 No, absolutely not.

00:54:39.000 Okay, I disagree.

00:54:40.000 You think we should cut off water to if the Cuban government came and killed 50,000 Americans, which is the population equivalent, right? 0.90

00:54:48.000 So 900 Jews would be 50,000 Americans. 0.93

00:54:50.000 I would completely support war against a country that kills 50,000 Americans. 0.99

00:54:55.000 Cuba is the same, about similar distance, right?

00:54:57.000 So yes, I would restrict food, water.

00:55:00.000 It would be all out war against the country that touched our homeland. 0.60

00:55:03.000 Well, you know what they call all out war against a populace of people that are stuck in an area?

00:55:09.000 It's a genocide, right?

00:55:10.000 And so as much as I...

00:55:11.000 No, hold on a second.

00:55:11.000 No, no, no, no.

00:55:12.000 First of all, if that was the case, why is Israel telling civilians to leave a certain area, number one?

00:55:17.000 Well, only that are allowed to be a private sector.

00:55:18.000 Hold on a second.

00:55:19.000 Hold on.

00:55:19.000 I'm sorry.

00:55:20.000 What?

00:55:20.000 Are Palestinians allowed to leave the Gaza Strip?

00:55:22.000 Well, they're moving to a different location of the Gaza Strip before bombardments happen.

00:55:26.000 That's number one.

00:55:27.000 Number two, they're already talking about humanitarian corridors being built.

00:55:30.000 Did you know that?

00:55:31.000 They're talking about humanitarian corridors being built with Egypt.

00:55:35.000 So there's already a plan from both the Mediterranean side and the South side.

00:55:38.000 But honestly, I'm not going to overly specify this because war is a really brutal, nasty thing.

00:55:46.000 And you could say whatever you want about Israel.

00:55:48.000 We're not going to agree on it, right?

00:55:49.000 Sure.

00:55:49.000 Israel did not invite this war.

00:55:51.000 No, I don't think so either.

00:55:52.000 Right, but they have to retaliate, and war is the worst thing humans do.

00:55:56.000 Here's my prayer: that Israel doesn't overreact.

00:55:58.000 Americans don't send troops, and that this is short, and that the terrorists that did this are held to justice.

00:56:03.000 That's what we need to publicly say.

00:56:05.000 But I am not.

00:56:09.000 And you're right.

00:56:11.000 There are kids that are going to die.

00:56:13.000 That pains me.

00:56:14.000 The heaviness should be on you.

00:56:16.000 But the answer is you just kind of roll over and allow people to come into your country into kibbutzes, into concerts, and mowing down people and say, you know, catch you next time? 0.84

00:56:26.000 I'm just not entirely sure what water has to do with the conflict, Mr. Kirk.

00:56:30.000 I just don't see how the Israelis, the Palestinians, the PLO, and Hamas can use water.

00:56:34.000 Two things.

00:56:35.000 Here's the issue.

00:56:36.000 The Palestinian Authority is too busy spending $300 million a year incentivizing the slaying of Jews instead of actually going and purchasing water filtration services, you know, all sorts of different things there.

00:56:46.000 Number two, so they build their headquarters under hospitals.

00:56:50.000 It's a fact. 0.74

00:56:52.000 They use the entire population of women and children in Gaza as a massive 2.5 million person human shield. 0.74

00:56:58.000 That's sick.

00:57:00.000 There are no good solutions here.

00:57:01.000 There's not one that I'm going to say this is wonderful and beautiful and glamorous and this is excellent.

00:57:06.000 It's all crummy.

00:57:07.000 It's all hell. 0.91

00:57:09.000 And they invited hell.

00:57:11.000 And something that we like to gloss over as Westerners is we get to live in a very peaceful society, relatively.

00:57:18.000 And we don't realize that sometimes you need a dresden.

00:57:23.000 And that's a really hard thing to swallow.

00:57:25.000 But guess what?

00:57:27.000 What we did in World War II to defeat the Nazis was 100% morally defensible. 0.90

00:57:32.000 And there were people that also died.

00:57:34.000 Israel has a right to defend themselves, and they're going to retaliate. 0.99

00:57:38.000 And Hamas, they brought this upon themselves. 0.88

00:57:41.000 They were the stewards of those women and children.

00:57:44.000 And as stewards of those women and children, they said, we don't care about the women and children enough that we're going to go into the other.

00:57:49.000 They knew what was.

00:57:50.000 You're trying to tell me that they're shocked that they're getting bombarded and their waters cut off and their electricity is cut?

00:57:55.000 No, they invited it.

00:57:57.000 Final thought.

00:57:58.000 Sure.

00:57:59.000 I wouldn't necessarily say they, but I do understand the sentiment, right?

00:58:04.000 I do agree that Hamas brings it upon me. 1.00

00:58:05.000 But I think we can agree.

00:58:06.000 Here's what I will say.

00:58:07.000 I do not think U.S. troops outside of very specific special forces to rescue Americans, which I'm sure you might be able to agree with, should be involved in this conflict.

00:58:16.000 We cannot allow ourselves to get into another Middle Eastern quagmire that Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley and Mike Pence might try to get us into. 0.92

00:58:24.000 That is something we can agree with.

00:58:25.000 Okay?

00:58:26.000 Thank you.

00:58:27.000 Thank you.

00:58:32.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:58:33.000 This is Damon Weissman, UCF student and Occupying Democrats Reiner.

00:58:38.000 First one is saying thank you for supporting Israel.

00:58:40.000 I actually have feeling there.

00:58:43.000 But however, my question is, while you show support for Israel, condemn the anti-Semitism on the far left and radical Islam, how can you ignore the anti-Semitism in the Roman Republican Party?

00:58:54.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's in the Republican Party.

00:58:57.000 I mean, it's so funny.

00:58:58.000 I get different questions.

00:58:59.000 Some people say that the Republican Party is too pro-Israel, and other people say that it's not pro-Israel enough.

00:59:05.000 Just recently in an event with Dennis Prager, somebody came up, and I asked them, because they were saying some rather suspicious things, I said, do you want a holy war against the Jews?

00:59:13.000 And they refused to answer, and we treated them appropriately.

00:59:16.000 I denounce Jew hatred in any form or fashion, whether it's on the right or left.

00:59:20.000 And thank you, Henness.

00:59:21.000 One quick question, if I had time.

00:59:23.000 While you've shown support for Israel, how come it's a sin for showing support or aid for Ukraine?

00:59:29.000 Oh, that's a good question.

00:59:30.000 That's actually a really good question.

00:59:32.000 So, two totally different situations.

00:59:35.000 Number one, when it comes to the attack, when Russia invaded Ukraine, not morally justifiable, they went for military targets, first and foremost. 0.53

00:59:43.000 Were there civilians killed?

00:59:44.000 Yes, they were also civilians killed.

00:59:45.000 But their intent has been throughout to kill military targets in the theater of war.

00:59:50.000 Hamas did something completely different. 0.77

00:59:52.000 They went on a murder spree intentionally of civilians and women throughout all of that.

00:59:57.000 Number two, I think we must look at this completely different, you know, from geopolitics.

01:00:01.000 I don't think that we should try to antagonize Russia.

01:00:04.000 I just don't.

01:00:05.000 I think that Russia being a neutral hedge against China, as Donald Trump had them, is a very smart geopolitical position.

01:00:13.000 And trying to create an enemy out of Russia makes little to no sense.

01:00:17.000 But actually, my position is actually very similar.

01:00:20.000 I think no U.S. troops in Ukraine know U.S. troops in Israel.

01:00:24.000 So it's actually pretty consistent.

01:00:26.000 But if you're going to ask me where I am more likely to morally cheerlead, yeah, it's the country that just had 900 of their people, which is a 50,000-person equivalent, literally slayed in the streets, slayed in a concert.

01:00:39.000 And I will say this: I believe that as a Christian, I have a moral obligation to protect the holy sites and access to the archaeological digs in the Holy Land.

01:00:49.000 One of the main reasons why I support Israel, and this is not going to be persuasive to everybody, is that being able to prove that the Bible is true is a very important thing as a Christian.

01:01:00.000 There is a non-stop war to destabilize and deconstruct the Holy Word of God.

01:01:05.000 There has never been an archaeological discovery in Israel that has disproven the Bible.

01:01:10.000 There is a lot of evidence that shows that when Arabs take over holy sites, they do not allow Christians to go to them. 0.84

01:01:16.000 And I'll prove it to you.

01:01:17.000 It's very hard for Christians to go to the birthplace of Christ, Bethlehem. 0.83

01:01:21.000 It's controlled completely by Arab Muslims. 0.95

01:01:23.000 It's very dangerous.

01:01:24.000 You could still go, but it's not easy.

01:01:27.000 I think it would be a tragedy that I will not be able to bring my daughter to the garden tomb or the church of the Holy Sepulchre or the Mount of Olives or the Mount of Beatitudes.

01:01:34.000 So they're two separate things.

01:01:35.000 I think that Israel plays a very important role in Western civilization and especially me as a Christian as well.

01:01:40.000 Do you have a response?

01:01:41.000 Yeah.

01:01:42.000 Oh, no.

01:01:43.000 I'm thinking for answering the question.

01:01:44.000 Thank you, man.

01:01:45.000 Thanks for being here tonight.

01:01:46.000 Appreciate it.

01:01:50.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

01:01:52.000 As you know, following this week's horrible events, Israel is at war.

01:01:55.000 The people of Israel are under attack from brutal terrorists, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.

01:02:00.000 There's over a thousand casualties, as well as kidnapping and infiltration of southern Israeli towns.

01:02:05.000 Israel is now retaliating and could escalate with a ground offensive against Hamas militants.

01:02:09.000 The situation is critical, which is why I'm partnering with our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush emergency relief to the hardest hit areas.

01:02:52.000 Hello, Mr. Kirk.

01:02:53.000 Thank you so much for being here.

01:02:55.000 I'm Autumn Berkman, and I just wrote this novel called 2034.

01:02:58.000 It's a modern take of 1984.

01:03:00.000 Before I ask my question, could I give this to you?

01:03:02.000 Yeah, sure.

01:03:04.000 Okay.

01:03:04.000 Okay, sure.

01:03:05.000 Great.

01:03:10.000 A cautionary tale.

01:03:12.000 Very good, I'm sure I will enjoy it.

01:03:15.000 Your question.

01:03:15.000 So, I just wanted to ask your advice.

01:03:17.000 You know, as someone who's starting, I value what you're doing, spreading the truth and encouraging others to speak of just how to make that connection, you know, sharing a message and how to connect with an audience.

01:03:27.000 Well, I want to compliment you already doing the first thing.

01:03:29.000 You know, ask for what you want, right?

01:03:30.000 Be bold.

01:03:31.000 And, you know, when I first started Turning Point USA, I can't tell you how many groups I would go to to try to give up my business card and meet people, and 99% of them didn't want to talk to me, right?

01:03:40.000 But it's the 1% that will take you seriously that you really connect with, and you follow up with a coffee and you follow up with a dinner.

01:03:45.000 You have to hustle.

01:03:46.000 You have to scrap.

01:03:47.000 You really have to try to inch towards what you want.

01:03:51.000 It looks like you're already doing a pretty good job of that.

01:03:53.000 And outwork your competition.

01:03:54.000 That's the other thing.

01:03:55.000 Put in more hours than the person you're competing against.

01:03:58.000 There's things you can control and things you can't control.

01:04:01.000 You can control how hard you work.

01:04:03.000 And what I have found, it's not a perfect line through, but the people that dedicate themselves through putting more hours into something, real serious hours, tend to do very well over one year, five years, ten years of whatever they try to do.

01:04:15.000 Thank you so much.

01:04:15.000 Appreciate it.

01:04:16.000 Thank you.

01:04:21.000 Since I started late, we'll go late.

01:04:23.000 Is that okay with you guys?

01:04:24.000 Is that all right?

01:04:25.000 And if you disagree, our team will find you.

01:04:25.000 Okay.

01:04:27.000 And yes, sir.

01:04:28.000 Hello.

01:04:28.000 First, I wanted to thank you for being here.

01:04:30.000 And I apologize, this question is not as well-worded as it could be.

01:04:33.000 That's okay.

01:04:34.000 But how do you recommend students, particularly that conservative students who face discrimination?

01:04:40.000 Sorry, how do you recommend students who face discrimination for their conservative views respond on campus?

01:04:46.000 Specifically, I personally, I've been banned from two of my classes, student-made group chats.

01:04:52.000 One instance I was banned for sending the link to this event, and the other instance we were planning a study group and discussing at what times everyone was free.

01:05:00.000 And I responded by saying, oh, we all live in America.

01:05:02.000 We're free all the time, which resulted in a ban. 0.98

01:05:08.000 So one of the one of the students took it so far to report me to our professor for discrimination, and my professors thought that was bullshit. 0.98

01:05:21.000 And now these same kids that I was studying with for like the past six weeks, and we were completely fine with no problems, these same kids are now calling me the same words that you said earlier: a bigot, a fascist, racist, and stuff like that. 0.94

01:05:34.000 How would you recommend I go about responding to them besides just ignoring them?

01:05:37.000 So, how many of you feel as if you're treated differently because of conservative or Christian views on campus, on this campus?

01:05:42.000 Yeah, that's chilling.

01:05:44.000 That's where your taxpayer dollars in Florida are going.

01:05:46.000 Basically, every hand goes up.

01:05:49.000 For donors out there, please stop giving money to colleges, okay?

01:05:52.000 You're subsidizing conservative hatred.

01:05:54.000 Just look at it right here, okay?

01:05:56.000 Stop giving money to colleges.

01:06:01.000 So, look, this problem is not going to go away.

01:06:05.000 You might say, oh, it's just bad on campus.

01:06:06.000 Well, if you go get a job at Goldman Sachs, that problem will follow you there.

01:06:11.000 If you go get a job at Morgan Stanley or whatever you want to do in life, right?

01:06:15.000 You have to make a decision early on.

01:06:18.000 And I don't know what the right answer for you is because there's a cost to everything in life.

01:06:22.000 Absolutely.

01:06:23.000 But you have to make a decision whether I'm okay pretending to be somebody that I'm not and saying things I don't believe if it means that I will have an easier career.

01:06:34.000 So, you know, Ben Shapiro and I disagree on this, okay?

01:06:37.000 I have Ben Shapiro coming on our show tomorrow.

01:06:40.000 And Ben would say, Hey, in college, just do what the professor wants you to do.

01:06:47.000 Kind of keep your head down and get the great.

01:06:49.000 Which is I'm sure most of us do here.

01:06:51.000 Yeah.

01:06:51.000 And so that's Ben's position.

01:06:53.000 And Ben went to Harvard.

01:06:54.000 I didn't.

01:06:55.000 I went nowhere, right?

01:06:56.000 Well, not nowhere, but yeah.

01:06:59.000 So, yeah.

01:07:03.000 But Ben has a different perspective because credentials for him matter a lot.

01:07:07.000 And honestly, he's very successful.

01:07:09.000 I have a different view, and I've built a life around it, but it's not been an easy life.

01:07:14.000 But it's been a deep one, and a fulfilling one, and a purposeful one.

01:07:17.000 Absolutely.

01:07:18.000 Which is that when I was in high school, I made a decision that if I see something that I know is a lie, I'm going to do the best I can to correct it with truth.

01:07:28.000 And if you live by that, you will live a better life.

01:07:32.000 It will be incredibly difficult.

01:07:34.000 You'll be called names.

01:07:36.000 But I don't have to.

01:07:37.000 I then created a life for myself unintentionally where I can be the same person in private that I am in public.

01:07:43.000 There's no like hidden person, right?

01:07:46.000 Understood.

01:07:46.000 And, you know, to a certain extent, the number one, you know, I get thousands of emails a day, and I do my best to read all of them.

01:07:54.000 And the email that I get more than anything else is, Charlie, love the show.

01:07:59.000 Love Turning Point USA.

01:08:00.000 You know, I'm a $50 a month donor.

01:08:01.000 God bless you.

01:08:02.000 Keep it up.

01:08:03.000 I'm really worried that my boss is going to find out that I have conservative views.

01:08:09.000 You know, what do I do?

01:08:12.000 And for those of you, I never visited the Soviet Union, but something that marks me, obviously I wasn't alive, but if you read the literature of people that visited the Soviet Union, there was a characteristic that pervaded totalitarian tyrannical countries, where anytime you were going to talk to somebody, you would look over your shoulder in a Soviet country.

01:08:33.000 So you're at a restaurant.

01:08:34.000 Before you're going to say something, you want to make sure that the KGB is not listening.

01:08:38.000 That's exactly the country we're living in right now.

01:08:41.000 Where if you go to get coffee and you're going to go tell your friend that you think men are men and women are women and that men can't become women and that they're delusional if they think that, you're going to probably turn around before you say that at a coffee shop.

01:08:54.000 That's actually considered discrimination at our school on our paperwork.

01:08:59.000 If you read it, yeah.

01:09:00.000 Yeah, that's sick stuff.

01:09:02.000 I mean, you should sue.

01:09:03.000 This is a public university.

01:09:04.000 Someone's got to sue over that because that's protected speech.

01:09:07.000 That is really, really unbelievable.

01:09:08.000 It should be.

01:09:09.000 So I'm discriminating when I say that.

01:09:11.000 According to UCF.

01:09:12.000 Yeah, great.

01:09:14.000 So what is the answer?

01:09:16.000 What is the answer?

01:09:16.000 Only you have the answer.

01:09:17.000 What matters more?

01:09:18.000 Career or courage?

01:09:20.000 Career or courage.

01:09:22.000 I think being a courageous person at a young age is a much better decision than having an expedient or materially benefiting career because you might get that career and then it'll be miserable because you can't speak your mind.

01:09:32.000 God bless you, man.

01:09:33.000 Thank you so much.

01:09:34.000 Thank you.

01:09:34.000 Thank you, Sharon.

01:09:42.000 Good evening, Charlie.

01:09:44.000 This is, I want to say this is surreal to me because this is my first time.

01:09:49.000 I'm a freshman.

01:09:50.000 This is my first time ever coming to an event like this.

01:09:54.000 My TV basically was watching you, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson, when he joined the Daily Wire.

01:10:01.000 I grew up on you, basically.

01:10:04.000 That's very sweet.

01:10:05.000 Thank you.

01:10:05.000 This is...

01:10:06.000 I'm a bit nervous.

01:10:07.000 I'll just say it.

01:10:09.000 Take your time.

01:10:12.000 I want to say that was a fantastic point to go back off of because on the subject of courage.

01:10:21.000 Because when I was in high school, I openly fought this stuff.

01:10:25.000 And there were some liberals in my school, granted, it was a Christian school, and yet there were still some crazy ideas like that.

01:10:32.000 And a lot of my peers often told me I was courageous.

01:10:37.000 I was very loud.

01:10:38.000 And people often thought I was rude because of that.

01:10:40.000 And now coming here, I first day, not even kidding, it wasn't even the first day orientation.

01:10:47.000 I saw some greasy-looking abortion activists telling my person who was leading us to FOF.

01:11:01.000 And I've noticed myself that I was slowly becoming not meek, but weak and not as well-spoken.

01:11:09.000 And I remember you said earlier that it's better to live loud and to have courage.

01:11:16.000 Yes.

01:11:17.000 How do you do that effectively?

01:11:19.000 That's a university.

01:11:21.000 That's not easy to come and ask a question.

01:11:24.000 So you want to know the trick?

01:11:32.000 Yes, sir.

01:11:33.000 You have to decide to be courageous.

01:11:35.000 That's it.

01:11:36.000 It doesn't take a superpower.

01:11:38.000 It doesn't take a special school you go to, a special class.

01:11:42.000 You make a decision tonight that I'll be courageous.

01:11:44.000 What is courage?

01:11:45.000 Doing the right thing when you don't know how it's going to work out.

01:11:48.000 That's it.

01:11:49.000 When there's risk and there's chance, that's courage.

01:11:52.000 When there's certainty, it's not courage, right?

01:11:54.000 It's not courageous to text your friend.

01:11:56.000 You're like, okay, hey, there's nothing courageous there.

01:11:58.000 It's courageous to stand up to a bully.

01:12:01.000 It's courageous to stand up to a professor.

01:12:04.000 One of the reasons why our country is collapsing is because good people are not courageous people.

01:12:09.000 You can be a good person and believe the right thing, but also not be courageous.

01:12:17.000 So just be 1% more courageous.

01:12:19.000 And that doesn't mean you have to be reckless.

01:12:21.000 That doesn't mean you have to make, you know, a big scene.

01:12:25.000 But I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but then pray for God for wisdom and he'll give it to you abundantly.

01:12:29.000 James 1.5.

01:12:31.000 And he'll reveal himself and his perfect will in that way.

01:12:34.000 God bless you, man.

01:12:35.000 Thanks so much for being here.

01:12:36.000 Thank you.

01:12:37.000 I want to continue something.

01:12:40.000 I have one more thing.

01:12:41.000 I got to get to the next question, but thank you, man.

01:12:43.000 Appreciate it.

01:12:46.000 All right.

01:12:47.000 First of all, hi.

01:12:48.000 Hello.

01:12:49.000 I'm a little nervous, so if I stuttered, forgive me.

01:12:52.000 No worries.

01:12:53.000 Thanks for being here.

01:12:53.000 Yeah, no problem.

01:12:55.000 So I've grew up liberal, and it's now been a year and a half that I've now jumped on the conservative train.

01:13:02.000 God bless you.

01:13:05.000 And so with that, I'm really familiar about the liberal views.

01:13:10.000 And I'm still a little brand new to the conservative.

01:13:13.000 And right now, I'm still a little mixed feelings about the guns and stuff because I've been told by people, hey, you cannot be a Christian and support the guns because they're barbaric.

01:13:27.000 Guys, remember our rule?

01:13:29.000 Be respectful.

01:13:29.000 Don't laugh at people.

01:13:30.000 They're barbaric.

01:13:31.000 They're violent.

01:13:32.000 Look how many people that were killed.

01:13:34.000 And I was like, but look at the people like Hitler and the other tyrannical leaders that are banning them and people can't defend themselves.

01:13:45.000 That's a good response.

01:13:46.000 Yeah.

01:13:47.000 I didn't totally, I was pretty shy to speak out.

01:13:52.000 I want to hear from your point of view as a man of God, why do Christians support the Second Amendment? 0.76

01:13:58.000 That's a beautiful question.

01:14:00.000 By the way, thank you.

01:14:01.000 May your journey be purposeful and bright onward to the conservative side of things and happy because we are much happier than the other side.

01:14:11.000 So first of all, a gun is a piece of technology.

01:14:14.000 It's what you do with it.

01:14:16.000 So a gun in and of itself is not a morally good or a morally bad thing.

01:14:21.000 A gun can be something that can save somebody's life.

01:14:24.000 In fact, you know, praise God that good guys can have guns and erupt mass shootings or that a pregnant mom at home has a gun to protect herself if somebody comes in to go and try and harm them.

01:14:38.000 So this idea of Christian passivity is not actually found in the Bible.

01:14:43.000 Christ himself said to go buy a sword.

01:14:47.000 That's pretty much why, yeah.

01:14:49.000 Yeah, and so I was also told he's peaceful.

01:14:53.000 He is loving, but then.

01:14:55.000 Yeah, so they're not reading the whole Bible.

01:14:59.000 So Jesus is peace, but peace is not the absence of conflict.

01:15:05.000 Peace is having Christ in the conflict.

01:15:08.000 It's completely different.

01:15:10.000 And so we should not seek strife.

01:15:15.000 We should be blessed are the peacemakers.

01:15:16.000 We should try to make peace.

01:15:19.000 But if an innocent or a child, for example, you know, let's use an example where Jesus singled it out, is to be harmed, you have a moral right in biblical Christianity. to defend the child and use any force necessary so that child will not be harmed.

01:15:34.000 Including your family and including those that you steward.

01:15:38.000 And so the Second Amendment also, though, protects one of God's priorities in the Bible, which is God's heart for his people is that people do not live in tyranny.

01:15:51.000 That whether it be God delivering his chosen people from Egypt in the Exodus, whether it be John 10, 10, the enemy comes to lie, steal, cheat, and destroy.

01:15:59.000 I've come to give life and life more abundantly.

01:16:01.000 One of the messages of Christ's teachings is liberation, is not to live under some form of tyranny.

01:16:07.000 You cannot have a free society unless the people are able to check and balance government if it becomes tyrannical.

01:16:14.000 And this is the unpopular argument that needs to be said, though, that God forbid our government ever becomes so tyrannical that we'll have to defend ourselves.

01:16:24.000 But if the Americans owned no weapons, period, the government would have all the control to do whatever they want all the time.

01:16:33.000 That's a hostage situation.

01:16:35.000 If the people own weapons, it's a negotiation.

01:16:38.000 And people might say, well, Charlie, that's pretty extreme.

01:16:41.000 Well, in Mao, they took away the weapons, Mao's China. 0.81

01:16:44.000 Hitler took away the weapons.

01:16:45.000 Mussolini took away the weapons.

01:16:47.000 And so as a Christian, we must fight for a free society.

01:16:49.000 Jeremiah 29, 7, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.

01:16:55.000 And if I care about my nation's welfare, I want free people to be able to own weapons and defend themselves against a usurptatious tyrannical government, against criminal thugs that might come to their home.

01:17:05.000 But understand that the gun itself is not inherently good or bad.

01:17:08.000 It is what is done with that piece of technology.

01:17:10.000 Anybody who's afraid of guns is just that.

01:17:13.000 They're afraid of a piece of technology that could be used in a certain way.

01:17:17.000 You lock a gun in a gun closet, it's not going to do anything.

01:17:20.000 It's the person that does that.

01:17:22.000 So what they're talking about is really a heart problem and a soul problem.

01:17:25.000 But I could tell you this.

01:17:26.000 It would be a disaster and it would be a catastrophe if we disarmed the American population. 0.71

01:17:30.000 It would be bad for Christianity. 0.97

01:17:32.000 It would be bad for the country.

01:17:33.000 It would be bad for children.

01:17:34.000 So that's my answer.

01:17:35.000 Thank you so much.

01:17:38.000 I got to get to the next one.

01:17:39.000 Sorry.

01:17:40.000 Thank you.

01:17:40.000 All right.

01:17:41.000 We'll take a couple more.

01:17:41.000 We're already over time, but I was late.

01:17:43.000 So yes.

01:17:44.000 Hey, Charlie.

01:17:45.000 My name's Sebastian.

01:17:46.000 You did really good with clarifying everything politically with Israel.

01:17:50.000 But as a conservative Christian, I can't ignore everyone saying that the prophecy is found in Isaiah, Ezekiel, about the end of times.

01:17:59.000 Isaiah 17, 1.

01:18:01.000 Correct.

01:18:01.000 And all the prophecies, I would say, I don't want to be hysterical, but is it the end of the world?

01:18:07.000 Yeah, this is a real thing.

01:18:11.000 First of all, I have no idea.

01:18:13.000 I'm not a theologian.

01:18:14.000 But I will add some context because my phone has been lighting up like a Christmas tree with pastors that are saying, this is it.

01:18:22.000 This is the end times.

01:18:23.000 For those of you that don't know, if you're not a Christian in normative Christian theology, without getting too big into pre-trib, post-trib, you know, eschatology, that there is an end of the world as we know it.

01:18:33.000 Get it, like the song.

01:18:35.000 And depending on how you read the scriptures, the more normative Christian theology is that there's a tribulation period.

01:18:40.000 Christ calls that as birth pains, right?

01:18:43.000 That you'll see rumors of war and war itself and earthquakes and famine.

01:18:46.000 And then at a specific point, Christ will return to earth and then engage in a thousand-year reign.

01:18:51.000 That's normative Christian theology.

01:18:53.000 I miss some parts of it, but that's mixing parts of Ezekiel and Isaiah and Revelation and Matthew.

01:18:59.000 There's a lot more to that.

01:19:01.000 Here's where I fall, which is it's fine to look at the signs of the time.

01:19:07.000 Jesus said that the day and the hour will be unknown.

01:19:10.000 In year 1000, they thought Jesus was going to return.

01:19:13.000 In year 1300, they thought Jesus was going to turn.

01:19:15.000 In year 1550, they thought Jesus was going to turn.

01:19:17.000 In 2011, many people thought Jesus was going to return.

01:19:19.000 And maybe they're right.

01:19:21.000 You know, they say, oh my goodness, Israel's going to bomb Damascus, fall of Damascus, Isaiah 17, 1.

01:19:25.000 The most important question instead is, what should I do?

01:19:29.000 And instead of just looking at the signs of the time saying, Jesus is going to zap me up next Thursday, what's the point in fighting?

01:19:36.000 We should say we're going to occupy till he comes to be salt and light and to be a force for goodness.

01:19:42.000 And so I intentionally, I intentionally avoid the end times talk because I find it to be unhelpful.

01:19:51.000 So I'm going to be on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee when Christ returns.

01:19:55.000 Okay?

01:19:56.000 Great answer, Charlie.

01:19:57.000 Thank you.

01:19:57.000 And I'll just close with this, which is anybody who tells you decisively they know it's the end times, we're explicitly commanded not to make those claims.

01:20:07.000 Instead, we should be focused on being as holy and good and faithful as we can.

01:20:13.000 That is the operative answer to that.

01:20:15.000 Thank you so much.

01:20:22.000 My name's Antonio.

01:20:24.000 And to return a little more to the political side.

01:20:26.000 Sure.

01:20:27.000 I want to know, earlier you said that it was a better strategy to use Russia as a hedge against China.

01:20:35.000 When I want to understand your thinking on why that would be better than working against China's foreign investments to gain leverage.

01:20:43.000 So we definitely should.

01:20:44.000 Okay, so foreign investments where?

01:20:45.000 In Russia, you mean?

01:20:46.000 No, not in Russia.

01:20:47.000 In like developing nations.

01:20:48.000 We definitely should.

01:20:49.000 Yeah.

01:20:50.000 So without getting too deep into the geopolitics, I think China is the great evil of our time. 1.00

01:20:56.000 And almost everything stacks up to the CCP, right?

01:20:59.000 I think Russia pales in comparison to the existential threat the Chinese Communist Party poses to our way of life and to our civilization, right? 0.99

01:21:08.000 So everything must be viewed through the lens of what decision are we making to restrain the rise of China and build coalitions to weaken China.

01:21:16.000 Just understand my perspective, right?

01:21:18.000 So that means we should go after Belt and Road, right?

01:21:20.000 We should go after their infiltration of our universities, Confucius Institutes. 1.00

01:21:24.000 But I think it's silly if we are inviting a new coalition that destabilizes the dollar, by the way, where the first time in your lifetime, the dollar might be completely abolished and destroyed.

01:21:34.000 They call it BRICS, right? 1.00

01:21:36.000 The developing countries, which is just basically like a new international order that is created.

01:21:41.000 India, the fact that India is part of it is unacceptable. 1.00

01:21:44.000 Our politicians shouldn't put up with it.

01:21:46.000 But it's Brazil because they have a new leader.

01:21:47.000 They got rid of Bolsonaro and they put in Lula.

01:21:51.000 Thank you.

01:21:52.000 And yeah, we ran out of time.

01:21:55.000 Sorry.

01:21:57.000 Have a good night.

01:22:00.000 So, yeah, Bricks.

01:22:02.000 So Bricks continues.

01:22:03.000 So everything comes to that lens.

01:22:06.000 Here's what I'll say.

01:22:06.000 I don't think Russia is a good country.

01:22:07.000 I don't think it's a great country.

01:22:08.000 I don't like Putin. 0.99

01:22:09.000 I think he's a thug. 0.51

01:22:10.000 I don't share a passionate hatred of Russia that a lot of people in D.C. have. 0.73

01:22:16.000 I just don't.

01:22:17.000 I don't fear them.

01:22:18.000 I don't think they're going to do a land invasion of the United States. 0.98

01:22:21.000 I think that they are liars and cheaters in a lot of different things.

01:22:25.000 But it's a fact that they conveniently avoid that we were able and willing to partner with Joseph Stalin to defeat Nazi Germany in World War II.

01:22:35.000 And I'm afraid a lot of this posture out of Washington, D.C. is kind of this mix of Cold War nostalgia.

01:22:42.000 And they're basically obsessed with the fact that Russia has not become completely European and embraced all of these wacky ideas that have permeated Europe.

01:22:52.000 And so It's a complex answer, but I, for one, am just shocked that, not shocked, I should be shocked, but I'm disappointed that leaders in both parties, Republicans are just as guilty as Democrats, are not saying, Can we just have some form of peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict?

01:23:09.000 Stop the killing, stop the slaughter.

01:23:11.000 And I think the fact that we're subsidizing the flow of arms and weapons is a major mistake.

01:23:15.000 Thank you.

01:23:15.000 Appreciate it.

01:23:16.000 Thank you.

01:23:17.000 Okay, so closing thoughts, everybody.

01:23:32.000 I want to thank you guys for taking time tonight.

01:23:34.000 For those of you that are fighting on campuses, make a decision to be courageous.

01:23:38.000 It's the most important, most fruitful thing you can do.

01:23:41.000 We live in a country that is in bad shape.

01:23:45.000 So you have two ways you can think about it.

01:23:48.000 You can give up, surrender, and despair.

01:23:51.000 One of my favorite teachings in the book of Deuteronomy is that to despair is a sin.

01:23:57.000 Every day, you must actively push back against despairing.

01:24:01.000 Ask yourself, for those of you that are Christians, your prayer should be: God, not solve this.

01:24:07.000 God, use me to solve this.

01:24:10.000 Use me as a vessel to solve the problem.

01:24:13.000 And we live in a great country.

01:24:18.000 We did not build it.

01:24:19.000 We inherited it.

01:24:20.000 I've dedicated my life to try to get as many people to care, to be thankful, and to fight for this beautiful republic.

01:24:26.000 It starts with you guys, and I'm very honored you took time tonight.

01:24:30.000 And thank you for the questions.

01:24:30.000 And God bless UCF.
