00:01:32.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:38.000So, as you speak, and just like doing anything worthwhile, it's not going to be easy, but as you speak and the media tries to clobber you and tell you to sit down and shut up, you have to remember A, where the criticism's coming from.
00:03:54.000And we don't have to validate what the lamestream media says about us that is so negative because it's so untrue.
00:04:01.000And you have to remember too, when it comes to that criticism, if you don't live by man's praise, you're not going to die by man's criticism.
00:04:40.000And when you know that you know that you know that you're standing for something right, you don't have to worry about those name-calling and all that very useless, very, very critical rhetoric that is aimed at you.
00:04:57.000You really do have to get used to it because, you know, but that's why this is beautiful, where you all, with a sense of camaraderie, you all can be empowered amongst each other and within because you can look around and think and say, and know, I'm not alone.
00:05:15.000Others around here with their straight spine standing up for what's right.
00:05:32.000And I still say, Charlie, there are more of us than there are of them.
00:05:37.000And as you can see, there's this movement is growing and growing and growing.
00:05:42.000And so talk about courage because a lot of people say, How do I find that courage?
00:05:46.000I know what should be done, but I need to get that next step.
00:05:50.000How I mean, your whole life is one of courage from being governor of Alaska to the entire activist press trying to destroy you and you coming out stronger on the other side of it.
00:06:13.000When I look back at the steps in my life that just I think inherently required courage, I think, wow, God had a hand in absolutely every step I took.
00:06:25.000And when I was a kid, I was smart enough at a summer camp, at evangelical assemblies of God youth camp, looking around at the beauty of Alaska.
00:06:43.000And if God is so smart to have created all this, surely if I put my life in his hands, surely he can create something, if not great, at least hopefully usable.
00:06:56.000So putting my life in God's hands, I look back now and I say, that's why that happened.
00:07:03.000That's why I said, screw you, establishment.
00:07:06.000I'm going to run anyway for X, Y, or Z position.
00:07:11.000And I can see how courage has been built.
00:07:14.000So, finding that voice and trusting God with your life and your path was instrumental for you.
00:07:20.000Talk about building a family because there's so many of these women's summits, and we talked about this earlier, that are more kind of on the liberal side.
00:07:27.000And they tell young women you have to go become an activist, you have to become an environmental activist, you have to come become a fossil fuel, anti-fossil fuel activist, you have to become a Me Too activist, and that all men are terrible, and the patriarchy's there to smash you.
00:07:41.000And you should then, the only thing you might want to do is go work for a massive corporation.
00:08:05.000So, yeah, I'm so thankful for my family, and I would and could do nothing without them.
00:08:11.000But isn't it funny that the liberals would try to make young women feel that they're not capable of doing anything perhaps but being in a large corporation or being an activist for X, Y, or Z, and not be able to also have a family and even carry a baby to term.
00:08:34.000All these things that the left wants to make young women believe is that, oh, you know, you have to pick one or the other.
00:08:41.000And certainly, the lesser of choices out there would be just being a mom, being a wife.
00:08:48.000I want young women to believe, to know that you are capable of really doing it all, pursuing your education, having a career, dedicating your life, all your priorities first and foremost into your family, and not listening to the left that it's a fake feminism.
00:09:10.000You know, they're trying to make women feel lesser than.
00:10:18.000And, you know, growing up, my dad's a teacher, a coach, growing up enmeshed in sports when it comes to transgender or when it comes to boys wanting to compete against girls, which is what their DNA proves, the whole transgender competition issue that's going on right now.
00:10:40.000I hope that you who are young and perhaps still involved in sports, extracurricular or collegiate, even, I hope that you are the ones who stand up and say how unfair it is and putting pressure on the boys who want to compete against the girls.
00:10:59.000Back in my day, boys didn't want to compete against girls.
00:13:39.000And so, Governor, talk about why you made that decision and then walk us through, in addition to that, what is a young woman supposed to do here if they're threatened to lose their job, not go to school if they don't get the vaccine?
00:14:21.000This is what you all need to keep in mind.
00:14:25.000If it comes to a point of government telling us, not even private sector, not even owners of a business, but government telling you that you will not be able to fly somewhere.
00:14:37.000You will not be able, say, to go on a college campus and speak unless you're vaccinated.
00:14:42.000Charlie and I had talked about this, and he's brilliant on this.
00:14:58.000But That's what we need to talk about: how we're going to preempt any of those kind of unconstitutional mandates, those mandates that would take away our power, infringe on our very, very basic rights.
00:15:18.000If we get to that point, I think tangibly where we're going to be able to see the greatest erosion of our charters of liberty, of our foundation of freedom.
00:15:31.000I think so much of it has to do with the mandate that perhaps they're going to try to throw on our heads.
00:15:40.000So much of it has to do with the vaccine.
00:15:43.000And I grew up with four words, Governor, that the left always would scream at me when I'd go to these campuses, my body, my choice.
00:15:51.000And now they're saying, get the vaccine racist.
00:17:28.000Because once you get it, man, you're naturally immune.
00:17:31.000And then they change their tune once those of us who said, I'm naturally immune, you said so.
00:17:37.000And if you even talk about this on social media or radio, which I talk about it quite often, they come after you completely.
00:17:43.000For example, you're not allowed to say that 53% of Center for Disease Control employees have got the vaccine, and about 47%, according to Dr. Fauci's own testimony, have not.
00:17:55.000And we don't know if they've denied it, but that's a low vaccination rate for the Center for Disease Control.
00:19:26.000I wasn't going to get on a flight and rip the mask off and say, oh, I'm standing up for.
00:19:30.000No, you pick your battles in order to be effective.
00:19:34.000So, you know, wearing the mask when I had to, looking at, you know, a private sector, a store owner telling me, okay, then it's your business.
00:19:46.000You know, if we're going to be preaching free enterprise as capitalists, then, you know, more power to a shop owner for saying, I don't want you in here unless you're wearing a mask.
00:19:59.000But when it comes to government trying to tell us what to do, you know what the federal government was set up to do?
00:20:05.000It was to protect our rights, not to chip away at anything.
00:20:12.000And all of these issues, all these issues, even the issue of abortion, and I'm 100% pro-life, even these issues of abortion, that the federal government, these faceless bureaucrats and politicians in far-off, bubbly Washington, D.C., they trying to dictate the way that we raise our families, the way that we run our businesses.
00:20:38.000This is coming from the federal government.
00:20:42.000Those type of issues, even an issue I say of abortion, it needs to be ratcheted down, state level, more local level, levels of government that are actually accountable.
00:20:54.000Because thus far, the federal government is so out of control.
00:20:57.000Obviously, there isn't accountability.
00:21:00.000And so, Governor, what is a young woman supposed to do if they're saying you got to get vaccinated by August 10th or else you can't go back to college?
00:21:07.000You got to get vaccinated or else you can't have a job.
00:21:09.000That's the number one question that we get right now.
00:21:11.000My advice, and I don't want to say advice.
00:21:14.000I'll just say my own piece is that for me, I wouldn't do it.
00:21:35.000And we have to protest it so it doesn't get to that point.
00:21:39.000The decision makers, the quote-unquote leaders who are probably going to tell us that, they need to be told, we're not going to take it this time.
00:21:53.000You know, we did sit back when all this was rolled out, right?
00:21:57.000I was kind of shocked that, oh, wow, we're a bunch of sheeple, just, you know, a couple government bureaucrats telling us that we're going to not be able to go to church or, you know, because the rules were so inconsistent.
00:22:10.000I could have gone there with some of it had they been consistent and scientifically based.
00:22:15.000But because they've been so inconsistent, you know, from the rollout on, there hasn't been confidence in our government leaders with this issue.
00:22:27.000They're not any smarter than anybody else, obviously, based on the decisions that they have made that have adversely affected us, decisions that haven't been based on science.
00:22:40.000They're reminded of that by us standing up, protesting what it is that they want to do, unifying around the issue, and like I say, saying literally, enough is enough.
00:22:52.000We're not going to go there with this one.
00:23:21.000Every Catholic in the country should contact University of Notre Dame and say, why are you requiring mandatory vaccines for every student to go back to University of Notre Dame?
00:23:45.000And you might not have any leverage, but I tell you right now, most of you in these situations have a lot more leverage than you might think.
00:23:51.000For every one of you that's anxious about mandatory vaccinations, there are hundreds, if not thousands of other students that share that alongside of you.
00:23:59.000And speaking out can make that difference.
00:24:01.000And I know that it isn't an easy issue.
00:24:04.000And Charlie and I both know, yeah, it's not easy if you feel alone standing up against, you know, the bureaucracy, standing up against the man and saying, no, that you're not going to take it.
00:24:35.000So, Trig, though, going to a wonderful public school that thankfully our district does put resources into some therapy, some things that a child with special needs needs.
00:24:48.000I don't want to have to take him out of that school, but you're right.
00:24:51.000We do all have to have that line, you know, that I would have, I would take him out of school.
00:24:58.000If a continuation adversely affects him, his learning, if it impacts, you know, that chipping away of our freedoms, I would have to, you know, make that sacrifice and we would have to find somewhere else to go.
00:25:15.000You may have heard that I'm recently married.
00:25:17.000Every married man knows that while it's the greatest gift, it's also a big change.
00:25:21.000I'm joyfully adjusting all the habits I formed as a single man all the way down to my sleep schedule.
00:25:28.000One part of this married man's routine will remain exactly the same.
00:25:47.000Well, simply put, there are seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:25:50.000By leveraging all seven forms in each capsule, I'm able to experience magnesium's deep restorative sleep benefits.
00:25:58.000If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try magnesium in your nightly regimen and be amazed by how much healthier your sleep patterns become.
00:26:07.000For an exclusive offer to the Charlie Kirk show listeners, go to magbreakthrough.com.
00:27:58.000Any atrophying of our Bill of Rights, though, anything that they are doing, like Second Amendment rights, our freedom of speech, that one, our freedom of speech, because once that is gone, you know what the aim is when they don't want you to talk about something.
00:28:15.000What that leads to is they don't want you to think about something so that you won't be tempted to talk about something.
00:28:22.000And history shows, you know, through some time-tested truths, what tyrants are able to do to the masses as they chip away, take away, take away that freedom of speech.
00:28:38.000It's thought control because they do want to control what you're thinking so you will not speak it.
00:28:44.000So you have to look at each one of these issues.
00:29:13.000We have made a covenant with the people for generations that we would be a free country where that beacon of hope for any other country, any other person around the globe would be able to look at America and say, oh, that is the land of the free.
00:30:12.000I was in PTO, PTA, then ran for city council.
00:30:15.000Then I was a city manager, a mayor, oil and gas commissioner.
00:30:18.000See, I have to give my resume because people always think, oh, she's just a hockey mom from Wasilla, governor, and then VP candidate and doing these other things.
00:30:29.000And if you start foundationally at that level, of local level, you learn what public service is all about.
00:30:38.000You go to the grocery store and someone's going to bug you about the dog that's barking at four o'clock in the morning in their neighborhood and you're the mayor, so you better go fix the problem.
00:30:48.000You are accountable from budgets where you're spending your grandma who lives in your town where you're spending her tax dollars.
00:30:56.000You have a public servant's heart, or you're not going to do well on the local level.
00:31:01.000I wish our politicians who were in that upper echelon, I wish they all would have started on the local level so that they could understand what public service is, literally.
00:31:11.000And reclaiming that idea of citizen government.
00:31:17.000And so, in closing, Governor, there's so many young women here, and you touched on this a little bit, that want to know what they can do and how they can do it.
00:31:26.000Just share some more wisdom that you have about some of the difficulties they're going to face.
00:31:30.000There's going to be times when they want to give up.
00:31:42.000And I would encourage you, in a practical sense, to be ready to run for office and to help others get elected who share these priorities, who share the ideology, who share just a basic common sense, constitutional conservatism that runs through their veins.
00:34:22.000We just can't, we can't afford to do that anymore.
00:34:25.000We need to be the ones bold, courageous, loud, louder than they are.
00:34:31.000Well, Governor, I know I speak on behalf of all these amazing young women from across the country.
00:34:36.000Thank you for being such a good role model.
00:34:37.000And we didn't touch on this, but you're a hunter.
00:34:41.000So, no matter what you say or do, you're high in my book because you actually are in nature and you understand the beauty of it and you talk about it.
00:34:49.000And you have a large family and you're such a good role model.
00:34:53.000And I hope every single one of you, young conservative women, and this is our nation together, will look to the governor as a role model, as someone who has just done everything they could.
00:35:04.000A lot of you weren't really able to see back.
00:35:24.000You have stayed true to who you are when other people, not going to say other names who are also at that convention, have always tried to sue for peace.
