00:01:28.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:30.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:33.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:37.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:38.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:56.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:59.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:02:08.000 Thank you guys for coming out tonight.

00:02:10.000 Great to see all of you.

00:02:10.000 And thank you to our wonderful Turning Point USA chapter leaders that are helping put all this on.

00:02:15.000 Yeah, give it up for them.

00:02:15.000 They're doing such a great job.

00:02:17.000 They really are.

00:02:21.000 It's great to be here at Auburn University.

00:02:23.000 Or is it University of Auburn Auburn University?

00:02:25.000 Is it Auburn University?

00:02:26.000 Yeah, okay.

00:02:27.000 You know, I grew up, I grew up an Auburn fan way back when you guys should have been the national champions.

00:02:32.000 You're undefeated way back in like 2003, 2004.

00:02:35.000 04, that's right.

00:02:37.000 This was a BCS scam back then.

00:02:40.000 I'll tell you what.

00:02:41.000 So I've always had a soft spot for Auburn.

00:02:43.000 I'm not allowed to say this, but I cheer for Auburn every year in the Iron Bowl, like every single year in the Iron Bowl.

00:02:49.000 So not allowed to say that.

00:02:53.000 I'm going to get a ton of hate mail from Tuscaloosa, whatever.

00:02:55.000 So we're in Auburn now.

00:02:58.000 Allie, great to see you.

00:02:59.000 Yeah, thanks for having me.

00:03:01.000 My first time to Auburn too, and I'm super excited to be here.

00:03:04.000 I went to Furman University, and we don't really have football.

00:03:08.000 So I can say that I'm an Auburn fan and it can be genuine.

00:03:12.000 I'm not a fan of any competitor.

00:03:14.000 I'll say that.

00:03:15.000 All right.

00:03:15.000 So Allie, I'm going to ask you a tough question, something that's really looming on the hearts and minds of a lot of people, very serious.

00:03:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:03:21.000 Okay.

00:03:21.000 And you don't know what this is.

00:03:22.000 I told you, it's going to take you by surprise.

00:03:24.000 It's a question that has tripped up some of the most credentialed people in America recently.

00:03:24.000 Okay.

00:03:30.000 What is a woman? 1.00

00:03:31.000 What is a woman? 1.00

00:03:33.000 Okay, if I can answer this correctly, can I be on the Supreme Court?

00:03:36.000 Yeah.

00:03:36.000 Wait, first, are you a biologist?

00:03:39.000 Well, I'm not a biologist, but you know, my two-year-old daughter is one of the smartest people that I've ever met.

00:03:46.000 She actually must be a biologist. 0.83

00:03:48.000 She's been able to tell the difference between men and women for like six months of her life.

00:03:52.000 So I've learned from her.

00:03:53.000 She's just so brilliant.

00:03:56.000 What a woman is. 1.00

00:03:58.000 There is a difference between men and women.

00:04:00.000 It's not just a feeling.

00:04:01.000 It's not just an identity.

00:04:02.000 It's not just putting lipstick on.

00:04:04.000 It's not even surgery.

00:04:06.000 It's something that is genetic.

00:04:08.000 It is something that is biological that people for all of human history have known without going to college and without ever having been told this from a teacher.

00:04:20.000 It has to do with your chromosomes.

00:04:22.000 Obviously, that manifests itself in your body.

00:04:24.000 And that manifests itself in all different kinds of strengths and weaknesses and traits that we could talk about all day.

00:04:30.000 But that's the distinctive.

00:04:32.000 It's biological, it's scientific, it's immutable, and no political or cultural change can ever alter that.

00:04:41.000 And so, why is it then that, yeah, I never thought we'd have to applaud for a definition of a woman, but you know what?

00:04:47.000 Let's applaud the definition of a woman. 0.99

00:04:49.000 You know, that's that was well said.

00:04:51.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:04:54.000 What a screwed up country we live in right now. 0.95

00:04:57.000 Where someone who's so, so Allie, help explain this to me. 0.94

00:05:00.000 There's someone who's about to be on the Supreme Court.

00:05:02.000 She's supposed to be super smart. 1.00

00:05:04.000 And she, like, in a smug and arrogant way, when asked this question, if you haven't seen the clip, you should definitely see it.

00:05:11.000 It was everywhere in the last week and a half where she said, like, how dare you ask a question? 0.64

00:05:16.000 I'm not a biologist.

00:05:17.000 How do we get to a place where that's seemingly a confounding question?

00:05:21.000 She also did that uncomfortable Kamala laugh that they do when they don't know how to answer a question, which makes me really uncomfortable. 0.60

00:05:28.000 That was, yeah, that the little cackle when they don't know what to say.

00:05:32.000 So she said, well, I'm not a biologist.

00:05:34.000 And some people were kind of giving her credit for that, saying, well, at least she knows that it's rooted in biology.

00:05:39.000 That's kind of a conservative answer.

00:05:41.000 But that's really not what she was saying.

00:05:42.000 That's actually kind of a trick question that you'll hear gender ideologues use.

00:05:48.000 If you say, well, I know what a woman is or a man is because of chromosomes, because of science. 0.89

00:05:53.000 They'll say, well, you're not a biologist.

00:05:55.000 And really what they're saying is that the science of sex is so complex and it is just so complicated that the common person can't understand it.

00:06:04.000 So to me, that actually revealed how radical she is on that.

00:06:08.000 She's basically saying it's so unknowable for the common person that she can't tell you.

00:06:12.000 Well, it's also just, I mean, I don't think she's very smart.

00:06:15.000 Like, I mean, like, it's just be like, I am a woman.

00:06:15.000 I'll be very honest.

00:06:18.000 Like, excuse me, what kind of question is that?

00:06:19.000 It's all you have to say.

00:06:20.000 Instead of saying, like, I'm not a biologist.

00:06:22.000 I don't have the right credentials to get into this.

00:06:24.000 Like, look, I'm not a veterinarian.

00:06:26.000 I know a dog when I see one.

00:06:27.000 I'm not a meteorologist.

00:06:28.000 I know when it's raining, right?

00:06:29.000 Like, I'm not a biologist.

00:06:30.000 I know a woman when I see one. 1.00

00:06:31.000 And it's not that hard.

00:06:33.000 And yet, she, it was almost as if she was like saying that we must always yield to experts and this kind of credentialocracy no matter what.

00:06:43.000 So let's kind of get into this trans issue, you know, because Allie, you and I have both talked about this a lot in the last couple of weeks.

00:06:49.000 I got booted off Twitter for talking about it, by the way, which was really great.

00:06:55.000 Yeah.

00:06:56.000 Now, I'm going to hope you're applauding the fact that I'm not on Twitter, not that I got booted off Twitter, but just perfect, both are fine, by the way.

00:07:02.000 We can sort that out later.

00:07:04.000 But yeah, look, so Twitter is kind of a propaganda machine of the regime, as we all know.

00:07:11.000 I tweeted out a tweet that said Richard Levine spent 54 of his years of his life as a biological male, had children, then switched his name to Rachel.

00:07:19.000 It's all about the world.

00:07:19.000 You can't do that.

00:07:20.000 Well, that's not exactly true.

00:07:22.000 He is still a biological male.

00:07:24.000 No, that's actually, that's the interesting thing: my tweet probably was more politically correct to the alphabet mafia than they even deserved, right?

00:07:33.000 And even though I did that, Twitter still kicked me off, right?

00:07:36.000 And but I did something called dead naming.

00:07:38.000 I don't know what dead naming is.

00:07:40.000 It's when you use the name of someone who's transitioned and you're not even allowed to say they previously had a name, right?

00:07:46.000 So if you called Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay, like this sort of thing, right?

00:07:49.000 You can't do that.

00:07:50.000 So then Twitter basically comes to me and they say, you violated the policies.

00:07:55.000 You're a hate spreader or whatever, and you have to delete the tweet to get your access to your Twitter account back by hitting this red button.

00:08:01.000 I refuse to hit the red button, which is delete.

00:08:03.000 I refuse to bend a knee to Twitter and acknowledge I did something wrong when I didn't.

00:08:07.000 If I did do something wrong, I would say that, but I refuse to apologize, even though I did nothing wrong.

00:08:13.000 So I don't have access to my Twitter account.

00:08:14.000 You know what the great thing about this is?

00:08:16.000 Is people text me all the time to retweet things?

00:08:18.000 And now I have a great excuse not to retweet them.

00:08:21.000 Like, hey, Charlie, nope, sorry, can't locked out of Twitter.

00:08:23.000 Can't do that.

00:08:24.000 And it's like, because I always was looking for excuses.

00:08:26.000 But Allie, in the last week, you know, we had the William Thomas thing, the Levine thing as a woman of the year.

00:08:32.000 Like, why is all this happening at such an accelerated pace?

00:08:35.000 Like, what's the driving force of this?

00:08:37.000 Well, I do feel like the Biden administration kind of gives these ideologues cover.

00:08:41.000 They feel like they have a defender in the White House.

00:08:43.000 And I don't know if you guys saw today, but I guess today is the trans day of visibility.

00:08:49.000 I had never heard of that before.

00:08:51.000 I have never heard of that before.

00:08:52.000 But Biden put out this video.

00:08:55.000 And there were a couple of things that really disturbed me, but the biggest thing that disturbed me, I think, and it connects to a lot of what we see going on with Disney right now, is he said transgender people of all ages.

00:09:08.000 And we can read between the lines there.

00:09:10.000 We know he's not talking about a 65-year-old.

00:09:12.000 We know that he's talking about children.

00:09:14.000 He is talking about children not only being indoctrinated with a destructive ideology, but one that can actually lead to their physical harm.

00:09:23.000 I mean, we're talking about children disrupting the natural puberty process.

00:09:27.000 We're talking about chemical castration.

00:09:29.000 We are talking about minors, sometimes in some states, being able to receive hormone blockers without the approval, without the consent or knowledge of their parents.

00:09:38.000 So that is what the president of the United States, all of these people who thought he was going to bring empathy, empathy, and normalcy and moderation, he is a radical and he is pushing this ideology that physically harms children for the rest of their lives.

00:09:54.000 So that to me is the scariest part of all of this.

00:09:57.000 And the fact that we have Disney, which was at one time the greatest purveyor of family fun and timeless values ever in the country, now are saying that they're on board with this.

00:10:08.000 They are so passionate about teachers teaching five-year-olds about sex and chemical castration and switching their gender that they're protesting DeSantis and all that craziness.

00:10:20.000 And that just, it just makes me super sad.

00:10:22.000 I don't know how we got here, I guess.

00:10:24.000 Well, yeah, I mean, it's an interesting moment, right?

00:10:26.000 Because 95% of people think this is insane, right?

00:10:28.000 95% of people think men can't become pregnant, right? 0.96

00:10:31.000 Obviously.

00:10:32.000 Yet 95% of people are afraid to talk about it.

00:10:34.000 It's one of the few issues that's so out of whack where a majority of people share a specific viewpoint and yet you are so intimidated to even speak out against it.

00:10:44.000 And obviously, that's kind of where my Twitter situation comes into place because they're like, they want you to be afraid to speak out about it, like if you dare cross the line.

00:10:53.000 And I think, I mean, you brought up a great point with this Florida bill, which, by the way, is like the most boring bill ever.

00:10:58.000 And you read the bill.

00:10:59.000 I encourage you to read the bill.

00:11:00.000 Seriously, if you think that it's a bad bill, read it and tell me why you think it's a bad bill.

00:11:03.000 It's seven pages.

00:11:04.000 It's seven pages.

00:11:05.000 It's super simple, right?

00:11:07.000 If you ever, you know, borrow a car loan or whatever, they're longer than this.

00:11:11.000 Hopefully you read those documents.

00:11:12.000 You know, probably not, but whatever, you know, when you take out student loans, it's a lot longer than this.

00:11:16.000 Seven pages.

00:11:17.000 And it's basically like parents should be able to get access to their kids' medical records if they try to transition or whatever.

00:11:23.000 And that five, six, and seven-year-olds should not have instruction around sexual education or any of these kinds of sexual orientation matters.

00:11:31.000 They should be left to the parents.

00:11:32.000 Pretty simple, right?

00:11:34.000 And so yet Disney comes out and they say we're going to pump $5 million into the human rights campaign.

00:11:39.000 Disney comes out and they say that we want 50% of all of our characters in our films by the end of this year to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or whatever.

00:11:47.000 I can't remember all the, whatever it is, right?

00:11:50.000 That 50% of their kids' movies are dedicated to all of that.

00:11:53.000 And so I largely think we got here, Allie, is because decent people were afraid, even though they disagreed with this.

00:12:00.000 I really believe that a lot of this is because we put tolerance, which is a, it's not, tolerance isn't a virtue.

00:12:05.000 By the way, it isn't.

00:12:06.000 We can go into that later.

00:12:07.000 It's not.

00:12:08.000 You shouldn't tolerate things that are evil.

00:12:09.000 You shouldn't tolerate child abuse and you shouldn't tolerate gender dysphoria. 1.00

00:12:12.000 Honestly, you shouldn't.

00:12:14.000 And so, and it's amazing.

00:12:18.000 2,500 years ago, Aristotle said tolerance and apathy are the two signs of a dying society.

00:12:24.000 But here's the opportunity, though, right?

00:12:26.000 The opportunity is Governor DeSantis, who's awesome, by the way.

00:12:28.000 Governor DeSantis is just amazing.

00:12:30.000 This is phenomenal.

00:12:32.000 Has kind of put forward a roadmap where it's like, I don't care what you do.

00:12:36.000 And this is significant is Disney's the number one employer in Florida.

00:12:39.000 Disney runs the state of Florida in a lot of different ways.

00:12:41.000 68,000 people work for Disney.

00:12:43.000 And when they flex their muscle, usually that means that politicians respond.

00:12:47.000 But DeSantis, like, you know what?

00:12:48.000 I don't work for you, right?

00:12:49.000 I work for the voters of Florida.

00:12:51.000 And I work for the people that, you know, actually elected me and are part of the state.

00:12:55.000 And so, Allie, I guess the question is, how do we respond to this, though?

00:12:58.000 How do we navigate this?

00:12:59.000 Has an everyday person talk about this without fear of cancellation or being called all these names?

00:13:03.000 Or is it impossible?

00:13:04.000 You just have to do it regardless of what they're going to call you.

00:13:05.000 Well, I want to add something to what she said, tolerance and apathy being huge problems in our society.

00:13:10.000 And one of the reasons, two of the reasons why we got to where we are.

00:13:13.000 I would add one to that, and that is empathy.

00:13:16.000 And I know this is going to sound super controversial because empathy sounds like an objectively positive characteristic that, of course, everyone should love.

00:13:25.000 You hear a lot of Christians saying that everyone should be empathetic, but it can actually be a very dangerous virtue.

00:13:32.000 We can have sympathy for someone.

00:13:34.000 We can love someone, but loving someone is seeking their best interest.

00:13:38.000 It's not just feeling their pain and affirming every choice that they make.

00:13:42.000 If someone, and this goes to your question, if someone is telling me that in order to love them, I have to affirm destructive behavior or I have to affirm something that I know is not true, like calling a man a woman or calling a man she, well, that is no longer love.

00:13:59.000 That might be some superficial form of empathy, but I'm actually aiding in that person's destruction and in my own destruction by continually telling lies and society's destruction by continually telling lies, including children's.

00:14:13.000 And so it's actually a form of hate.

00:14:15.000 So empathy can actually be a form of hate when it is leading to lies and destruction.

00:14:21.000 So I just wanted to add that as one of the characteristics that is leading us to where we are.

00:14:26.000 So I will not lie about the transgender issue.

00:14:31.000 That's a lot of things that I, that's a, that's one thing that I've seen a lot of conservatives and conservative outlets start to do is that they give in kind of on that language game.

00:14:41.000 They're like, well, it really is the loving and the empathetic thing to do.

00:14:44.000 Who cares if a man wants to call himself she? 1.00

00:14:47.000 Actually, I saw a very prominent conservative activist do this just the other day and called Leah Thomas she.

00:14:53.000 And look, if you give in on that, you have given in to the entire premise.

00:14:59.000 If you call a man she, then why can't that man go into the girl's bathroom? 1.00

00:15:03.000 Why can't that man swim against women? 0.99

00:15:07.000 Why not?

00:15:08.000 You're calling him a her. 0.95

00:15:09.000 So you are acknowledging that he can identify as a woman.

00:15:13.000 And I think we just have to stop there.

00:15:14.000 I think we have to back all the way up and not give you a-so you mentioned the Thomas thing, who's a cheater, right?

00:15:19.000 Obviously. 0.67

00:15:20.000 And for those of you that don't know the Thomas situation, it's someone who obviously has mental problems.

00:15:24.000 I hope that Thomas finds a mental counselor and gets that sorted out.

00:15:27.000 No, I mean that.

00:15:28.000 That's not a joke, right?

00:15:29.000 I mean, everyone has issues.

00:15:30.000 That person's issue just happens to be put on public display.

00:15:33.000 And Thomas's kind of coping mechanism is, I'm going to go like, you know, basically bully women, right?

00:15:38.000 That's his coping mechanism.

00:15:39.000 So born a woman, but born a man, I'm sorry, not a really good swimmer, honestly, 462nd best swimmer in NCAA, decided to transition or whatever that means, switch.

00:15:50.000 You know, I'm a woman now, wins the national championship, right?

00:15:54.000 Um, and so look, you can have compassion.

00:15:56.000 Empathy is actually not in the Bible.

00:15:58.000 Uh, that's an interesting thing.

00:15:59.000 It's 1920s new age thing.

00:16:01.000 Um, so you're totally right, thought crime, because everyone says you must be empathetic in the Christian circle. 0.78

00:16:04.000 Well, show me where it says that in the Bible.

00:16:06.000 Doesn't uh there's no Greek translation for it, that doesn't exist.

00:16:09.000 Um, we can talk about that if anyone's interested later in QA.

00:16:12.000 Um, but yeah, you can have compassion for someone who's struggling with something, but that doesn't mean you have to tolerate cheating, and that's a moral question.

00:16:20.000 So, if you tolerate cheating, that you know what, that's like saying, You know what?

00:16:23.000 The person who burned down the Wendy's, they were having a tough day, or you know, they robbed the bank, they're poor.

00:16:30.000 People on the left actually do say that's why I said it is because it's all the same arguments.

00:16:37.000 It's like, hey, hey, hey, look, they're looting because of George Floyd.

00:16:39.000 Like, no, they're not, they're looting because they're criminals, actually.

00:16:42.000 They're not looting to remember George Floyd's memory, okay?

00:16:46.000 And you can start to see, you do not, you do not allow immoral behavior because of the circumstance of the individual.

00:16:53.000 Never is that okay, ever.

00:16:55.000 And yet, we've done it in the circumstance.

00:16:57.000 And so, yeah, I mean, I'd love your thoughts on this, Allie.

00:17:00.000 I mean, I watched this with just disgust and horror, why the NCAA allowed this to happen.

00:17:04.000 I'm sure we have some college athletes here.

00:17:06.000 I'm sure we have some female college athletes here as well that are probably, you know, soon going to have to compete against biological men. 1.00

00:17:13.000 And the solution is really simple.

00:17:15.000 You know, some we were at University of Arkansas yesterday, and someone asked me, Well, Charlie, what would you say?

00:17:19.000 Is the solution very simple?

00:17:21.000 Thomas can wear a bonnet or a dress or whatever, just compete against men.

00:17:24.000 Just compete with the chromosomal structure you're born with.

00:17:27.000 You can think whatever you want, unicorn, dog, leopard, jaguar, woman, man, but you don't get to all of a sudden change what chromosomal category you compete in.

00:17:35.000 That's the whole point of men and women's sports.

00:17:37.000 And so, what are your thoughts on it?

00:17:40.000 My thoughts are that gender identities don't compete, bodies compete. 1.00

00:17:45.000 So, that's the end of the story.

00:17:46.000 Gender identities don't compete, bodies compete. 1.00

00:17:50.000 I want to go back to one thing that you said.

00:17:52.000 You talked about how a lot of people on the left say that some actions, some immoral actions are okay or they're not immoral at all because of the supposedly oppressed class that someone is in, or because they are doing it for reasons that the left approves of.

00:18:07.000 And that is the difference between social justice and justice.

00:18:11.000 And that reminds me actually of something that Katanji Brown Jackson did.

00:18:17.000 Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, some other conservatives called her out on her record against child sex predators, how she really is soft on crime in general.

00:18:26.000 But I thought this record was especially egregious.

00:18:29.000 And Josh Hawley called out, and I think Tom Cotton too, this particular case where this 18-year-old, 19-year-old, when he was sentenced, he had consumed thousands of images and videos of child sex abuse material.

00:18:42.000 And the federal guidelines recommended five to ten years.

00:18:45.000 Prosecutors asked for two years.

00:18:47.000 She sentenced him to three months.

00:18:50.000 And what she said, the reason was just sunny.

00:18:52.000 I actually read this in the Washington Post, which was, of course, doing a puff piece about the pedophile. 0.76

00:18:59.000 And it said that her reasoning when she was talking to this child sex predator was, well, you were just looking at images of your peers since you were so young. 0.82

00:19:10.000 You were just sexually curious about your peers. 0.60

00:19:12.000 Guys, the youngest victims on record were eight years old.

00:19:17.000 So that is the difference between social justice, which is not just.

00:19:21.000 She's looking at his race.

00:19:23.000 She's looking at what he thinks is he was gay.

00:19:25.000 So she's looking at, you know, his intersectionality points.

00:19:29.000 Yeah.

00:19:30.000 And her saying is saying, this is what justice looks like.

00:19:32.000 That's not just.

00:19:33.000 And that's terrifying that that person is going to be on our highest court.

00:19:37.000 So walk through what justice properly administered is.

00:19:40.000 Well, true justice and true equity.

00:19:43.000 I mean, according to the Bible, and that's who created justice.

00:19:47.000 Whether you believe in the God of the Bible or not, like that is what America and the Western world was built on is the biblical definition of justice.

00:19:55.000 And there are a lot of different characteristics that we can read in the Old Testament about what true justice looks like.

00:20:00.000 But I think the greatest characteristic that we should focus on is impartiality.

00:20:07.000 God actually says that you're not supposed to defer to the poor or to the great.

00:20:11.000 So you're not supposed to give favoritism to a poor person or a weak person in a lawsuit, but you're also not supposed to give preferential treatment to the rich person because you have connections.

00:20:21.000 And that today has been totally lost because of that empathy piece, because of social justice ideology, which says that we should not administer the law equitably, but we should actually give preferential treatment to certain classes because we think they're oppressed.

00:20:36.000 And that leads to chaos and anarchy.

00:20:38.000 And we're already seeing that in our major cities today.

00:20:40.000 And look, the problem with justice, well, there really isn't a problem.

00:20:43.000 The only problem you could probably is that you're going to have unequal outcomes.

00:20:45.000 You just are.

00:20:46.000 And that's a tough thing for some people to live with.

00:20:48.000 Some people don't like unequal outcomes.

00:20:50.000 They don't like it.

00:20:51.000 They don't like the fact that some people are going to wake up earlier and take homework more seriously.

00:20:55.000 They don't like the fact that some people are born with higher IQs or other, you know, other immutable characteristics that they can't change.

00:21:02.000 So when you have justice that is hopefully administered blindly or as blindly as possible, you're going to have disparate outcomes.

00:21:09.000 You're going to have some people get richer, some people get wealthier, and then some people actually fall down the ladder and not do as well.

00:21:14.000 So then as a coping mechanism, social justice starts to come in, which is now we need to try to use the power of force, the power of state, the state to try to right those wrongs.

00:21:24.000 Ellie, why is that?

00:21:26.000 Why does that inevitably fall apart rather quickly?

00:21:29.000 Yeah, so Thomas Sulliv has been writing about this for decades.

00:21:31.000 He wrote a book called Quest for Cosmic Justice, where he describes exactly what you're talking about.

00:21:36.000 Social justice tries to get everyone to meet those equal outcomes.

00:21:42.000 And in the social justice activist left-wing mind, people have unequal outcomes because of oppression.

00:21:48.000 They would always say that any disparity in outcome is an automatic evidence of discrimination.

00:21:56.000 And that's just not true.

00:21:57.000 Just because there are disparities in crime rates or disparities in graduation rates, disparities in poverty rates, that is not an automatic indication that discrimination or injustice is the cause of those disparities.

00:22:10.000 There are all kinds of factors that might play into why someone does better, someone does worse.

00:22:15.000 That doesn't mean that there has never been injustice or systemic reason, whatever, but it's not an automatic evidence of injustice.

00:22:25.000 Yeah, and I'll give you an example of this.

00:22:26.000 So let's take Auburn, Alabama, and Bozeman, Montana.

00:22:28.000 Okay.

00:22:29.000 So the GDP of Auburn, Alabama, and Bozeman, Montana is lower than Seattle and New York.

00:22:33.000 Why?

00:22:34.000 Is it because in Bozeman and Auburn, people are racist?

00:22:37.000 No.

00:22:37.000 Is it because the people that live there?

00:22:39.000 Nope.

00:22:40.000 It's because one's in the mountains and one's inland.

00:22:42.000 And New York and Seattle are near water.

00:22:44.000 If you're near water, you're more likely to be rich.

00:22:45.000 It's that simple.

00:22:46.000 You're near ports of trade, more likely where people are moving.

00:22:49.000 Ideas, you know, customs, geography matters a lot.

00:22:52.000 So all of a sudden, you have an outcome that has nothing to do with racism.

00:22:56.000 Oh, wow.

00:22:56.000 Things can actually be attributed to other things.

00:22:58.000 Yes.

00:22:59.000 That access to waterways, for example, is like one of the most easiest predictors of whether or not a city is going to be rich or not.

00:23:07.000 And so that's like a very simple way to view it.

00:23:09.000 Imagine if I told you there are 3,000 prerequisites other than racism that determine whether or not you're going to be successful.

00:23:15.000 I'll give you an example.

00:23:16.000 How many of you are the firstborn in your family?

00:23:18.000 Raise your hand.

00:23:19.000 You have an unbelievable privilege.

00:23:20.000 Seriously.

00:23:22.000 Every study shows firstborn privilege.

00:23:24.000 You get more attention, higher IQs, more likely to, no, you're less likely to go to prison.

00:23:29.000 It's called firstborn privilege.

00:23:32.000 You know what?

00:23:32.000 Those of us who were born last, we're in a press class now.

00:23:35.000 You are.

00:23:36.000 That's right.

00:23:40.000 And I could see a movement around this.

00:23:43.000 And so, and I'm not, like, I think this whole idea of racial privilege is such nonsense, but I'll give you an idea of a certain type of privilege.

00:23:50.000 Height privilege totally exists.

00:23:51.000 Every study shows it.

00:23:52.000 If you are 6'2 or taller, you'll get more jobs, more interviews.

00:23:56.000 You'll be taken more seriously and walk in a room.

00:23:57.000 It's a real thing.

00:23:58.000 And by the way, beauty privilege is a real thing as well.

00:24:00.000 No one wants to talk about it, but good-looking people get more jobs, more promotions, or taken more seriously.

00:24:05.000 There's a lot of prerequisites that go into this.

00:24:07.000 For example, when you are two and a half years old to four years old, if you are hearing 3,000 or more words a day spoken by either your parent or a trusted person, your IQ skyrockets by 10 to 15 points.

00:24:19.000 So when you have parents around that are constantly talking to you, when you're 20 to 30 years old, you're much more likely to have a higher IQ and do better.

00:24:27.000 These prerequisites have nothing to do with the melanin content in your skin.

00:24:31.000 However, we've reduced our entire conversation to say, oh, your skin color is the only type of privilege matter.

00:24:36.000 By the way, it doesn't exist.

00:24:37.000 We can get into that later.

00:24:38.000 But we never talk about any of these other factors.

00:24:40.000 Why?

00:24:41.000 Because it actually de-radicalizes people.

00:24:43.000 That's why.

00:24:44.000 It actually causes people to think deeply about the, oh, wow, am I talking to my kid?

00:24:48.000 Like, oh, wow, like maybe if I want to, you know, be around commerce, I'll go to a city that might be, you know, growing quicker than others.

00:24:56.000 And not to say that there's not opportunity in all sorts of places, but if the data showing one place might be better than the others, they don't want you to talk about that sort of stuff, right?

00:25:04.000 So go ahead.

00:25:04.000 It causes people to take personal responsibility too, which cuts right against the progressive ideology and what Democrats want.

00:25:11.000 If they can get you, you know, it's so crazy.

00:25:13.000 I think about the fact how Democrats tell black Americans that their main problem is white Americans or white evangelicals or Trump supporters when the cities with the highest concentration of black voters have been run by Democrats for literally decades.

00:25:29.000 And yet they don't tell them what you're talking about.

00:25:31.000 They always tell them or any group, any oppressed class that your problem is over there.

00:25:36.000 Your problem is this other person.

00:25:37.000 And if you elect me, if you just put me in power one more time, like I'm Maxine Waters.

00:25:42.000 I know I've been around for 5,700 years, but if you elect me one more time, I promise that I'll do something for this marginalized community.

00:25:50.000 And it just never happens.

00:25:51.000 And that's, Charlie is absolutely right.

00:25:53.000 It de-radicalizes people when you realize that everyone is a product of choices.

00:25:59.000 Now, I'm not saying that that means that there are no circumstances beyond your control.

00:26:03.000 Of course, you can be born into hard circumstances.

00:26:05.000 And so you could have a harder time getting somewhere than someone else.

00:26:08.000 So it's absolutely true.

00:26:09.000 But even the circumstances you were in were probably the product of someone else's choices.

00:26:14.000 And so when you realize that and you realize, well, you can change the trajectory of your family's legacy.

00:26:21.000 You can change the trajectory of your life by taking responsibility.

00:26:25.000 That makes people less angry.

00:26:26.000 It makes people less resentful.

00:26:28.000 And therefore, it makes them less likely to vote Democrat.

00:26:31.000 And this is one of the reasons.

00:26:31.000 Yeah.

00:26:32.000 That's exactly right.

00:26:34.000 It's one of the reasons why I love homeschooling is because it's parents that are actively making a choice to say, I'm not going to just trust somebody else with my children.

00:26:42.000 I'm going to be involved from every single day possible in that sort of choice.

00:26:47.000 And look, I'll be very honest.

00:26:48.000 It's tempting to want to blame other people.

00:26:49.000 Of course.

00:26:50.000 I mean, the politics of blaming other people.

00:26:52.000 That goes back to the Garden of Eden, by the way.

00:26:55.000 I never thought of that.

00:26:56.000 Tell me why.

00:26:57.000 Well, because when God came to Adam and said, you know, he asked them, why are you naked?

00:27:03.000 Who told you that you were naked? 1.00

00:27:05.000 What happened here?

00:27:06.000 And yeah, and Adam said, it's the woman you gave me.

00:27:09.000 And then Eve was like, oh, it's the snake.

00:27:11.000 And God's like, snakes can't talk.

00:27:12.000 What are you talking about?

00:27:13.000 Just kidding.

00:27:14.000 That's not how it goes.

00:27:15.000 But blame is one of the first sins, not the very first sin, but it was one of the first sins.

00:27:21.000 So anyway, it's just part of our sinful human nature.

00:27:23.000 That's really, that's really wise.

00:27:25.000 And you're exactly right.

00:27:26.000 And so we have to reject that temptation, want to blame other people.

00:27:29.000 That's not to say that, and we'll have a probably a robust discussion in Q ⁇ A of how politicians have failed you and failed, you know, our voters a lot of ways and how we need to address that.

00:27:39.000 But I still say, look, in this country, if you are thinking more about what is being done to you versus what you are doing, then you're doing a disservice to yourself.

00:27:48.000 I'm going to say that again, if you're thinking more about what's being done to you versus what you are doing, then you're not actually helping yourself.

00:27:55.000 And bind you, I guess we could spend two hours about this.

00:27:57.000 Inflation, gas prices, open borders, you know, student loan debt, lockdowns, nonstop problems happening here.

00:28:03.000 Still, with all of that, you still have the most opportunity of any people ever to live in the history of the world.

00:28:07.000 Still, with all that being said, it's that the destiny that you want is still in your grasp with the, with the, with the liberty and the freedom, the opportunity in front of you.

00:28:14.000 And so, but it's tempting, right?

00:28:16.000 And this is one of the reasons why, you know, we as conservatives have to fight as hard as we have to do for a lot of this, because it would be super easy if we just swooped in here and we just started to kind of do kind of a pep rally of like shout your oppression, right?

00:28:28.000 Which is like, all right, who's got student loan debt?

00:28:29.000 Everyone raised their hand.

00:28:30.000 All right, we're going to forgive that.

00:28:31.000 All right, who's ever been called something racist?

00:28:32.000 Or you think something might have also been called racist?

00:28:35.000 Hey, who's ever been unhappy?

00:28:36.000 Who's not white? 0.96

00:28:37.000 Okay, you're all going to get stuff, right?

00:28:39.000 And then like you kind of go through this kind of process by the end of the pep rally, everyone's got something, right?

00:28:45.000 Like, all right, vote for me.

00:28:46.000 Thanks.

00:28:47.000 I'll never fulfill any of those promises, but you're all fired up.

00:28:50.000 That's the American left, where our whole message is like, yeah, we want to be careful doing that because we believe that government should be strong and small, right?

00:28:59.000 But we believe that human beings should flourish and we want you to take responsibility.

00:29:03.000 That's a much harder sell in a lot of different ways.

00:29:06.000 Yeah, it is because it doesn't appeal to our simple human nature.

00:29:10.000 Not only do we want to blame other people for our problems, this is true, no matter your political ideology, as you were saying, naturally.

00:29:17.000 It's also just easier to do that.

00:29:20.000 And we all really like to complain.

00:29:21.000 Like we like to talk about ourselves.

00:29:23.000 We like to think that we are different than everyone.

00:29:25.000 And I really think that that goes back to just kind of a lack of purpose and this unhealthy form of hyper individualism that we've brought ourselves into.

00:29:34.000 I'm not talking about the healthy individualism.

00:29:36.000 I'm talking about the lack of community and the lack of purpose, the lack of church attendance, lack of being tethered to a value system that is bigger than yourself that a lot of young people today are suffering under.

00:29:51.000 So because you're no longer looking to God or your family or your community or some greater purpose to find your identity, well, of course you are going to try to find some kind of oppressed class.

00:30:02.000 Of course, we're going to have all 26 letters of the alphabet after LGBTQIA ⁇ eventually because everyone wants a piece of it.

00:30:10.000 Everyone wants that piece of identity information.

00:30:12.000 And then that's your currency, right?

00:30:14.000 So that's why you go to fakehatecrimes.org or whatever it is, where there's, I mean, there's more fake hate crimes than you could even imagine, like 460 of them.

00:30:21.000 They pop up every single week.

00:30:23.000 You're like, wow, if America was so racist, why do all these fake hate crimes keep on happening?

00:30:27.000 Well, the reason is because that gets you a lot of attention really quickly.

00:30:31.000 Like, why would Justice Smollett dedicate time to go fake a hate crime in downtown Chicago?

00:30:36.000 Well, it's because that gives you way more celebrity than slapping Chris Rock does or whatever it is that these famous people do nowadays, right?

00:30:44.000 Or like winning an Oscar.

00:30:45.000 It's like you can become super famous immediately if something bad happens to you.

00:30:49.000 And it was like the worst pulled off hate crime ever, fake hate crime.

00:30:52.000 You kept the noose on them when the police came.

00:30:53.000 The whole thing was bizarre.

00:30:55.000 But you bring up a really important point, and there is a biblical story about this.

00:30:58.000 So God delivers the chosen people out of Egypt. 0.99

00:31:01.000 Moses leads them.

00:31:02.000 They get into the wilderness.

00:31:03.000 You know, they're there for a little while.

00:31:05.000 Then he blows mana.

00:31:06.000 He blows coil off course, mana from heaven.

00:31:08.000 They have everything they need or want for nothing.

00:31:10.000 And then after a little while, they start complaining.

00:31:11.000 It's in our nature.

00:31:12.000 They're like, who's this Moses guy?

00:31:15.000 And like, why are we in the wilderness?

00:31:17.000 It's like word for word.

00:31:18.000 You guys could read it to Exodus.

00:31:19.000 And basically they're like, take us back to Egypt, slavery, because at least in Egypt, we had meat.

00:31:26.000 We ate better, even though we had no freedom.

00:31:29.000 And this whole kind of taking responsibility in the desert thing, we're not a fan.

00:31:33.000 So take us back to Egypt.

00:31:35.000 And you think about it, and this is a provocative question.

00:31:37.000 And I kind of come down more in the middle of this.

00:31:40.000 I think it's a mixed bag.

00:31:41.000 Do people want to be free?

00:31:43.000 And I think some people do, but I don't think a majority of people want to be free.

00:31:47.000 I don't.

00:31:47.000 That was one of my big lessons from the Fauci virus.

00:31:50.000 I used to think that.

00:31:51.000 You know, I used to be someone who said everyone has a desire.

00:31:55.000 Universally, everyone has a desire for freedom and everyone wants to be liberated.

00:32:00.000 And I realized that no, freedom is not an instinct.

00:32:03.000 It's a principle.

00:32:04.000 And principles have to be learned and they have to be maintained and they have to be cultivated.

00:32:08.000 And as a principle, liberty has not been cultivated in the United States, at least recently, for a plurality of Americans.

00:32:16.000 I wouldn't say the majority, but we did see that after COVID, absolutely, that people still, they just want to be controlled and told what to do.

00:32:23.000 Yeah.

00:32:23.000 So when you have something traumatic happen, you guys know this in your family, right?

00:32:27.000 When something, like when the rubber hits the road, you see who people really are, right?

00:32:31.000 So the same is for a civilization, by the way.

00:32:33.000 When something really traumatic happens, there's no more pretending, right?

00:32:37.000 You see exactly who you are.

00:32:38.000 So you're like, wow, 85% of the country actually wants to be taken care of and wants to stay at home and will do what they're told.

00:32:46.000 Wow.

00:32:46.000 It was a learning lesson for me, by the way.

00:32:48.000 I thought it was the opposite.

00:32:49.000 I did this whole podcast demanding that lockdowns end and like people are going to be marching in the streets.

00:32:54.000 And it was like kind of a little bit here and a little bit there.

00:32:58.000 And then we get into the summer and then the next year and people are just kind of okay with it.

00:33:01.000 And so I think some people want to be free, but it's a value.

00:33:05.000 Freedom is not natural.

00:33:07.000 In fact, if you look at all the governments in the last 2,500 years, more people live in tyranny comfortably than live in freedom happily.

00:33:17.000 You can live in tyranny very comfortably, by the way.

00:33:20.000 I mean, you could just get your checks, do what you're told, do your little bureaucracy job or bureaucratic job and whatever and go home.

00:33:26.000 Most of Europe is trending that way, by the way.

00:33:28.000 But to live in freedom, what does it require?

00:33:29.000 Responsibility.

00:33:30.000 It requires you to be alert.

00:33:31.000 It requires you to look in the mirror and be like, that's actually the biggest cause of my problems.

00:33:35.000 And that's hard for a civilization to do.

00:33:38.000 In fact, it's almost inevitable to break apart.

00:33:40.000 So I'm going to get to some questions in a second here.

00:33:42.000 Allie, I just want to talk.

00:33:43.000 I want you to talk just for a second here to all the students, almost entire room of students, which is just awesome, is kind of just talk about some of the things they're facing, some of the kind of life advice that you might have, which might be some good conversation starters for QA.

00:33:57.000 Ooh, okay.

00:33:59.000 So I'm guessing most of you, I know not all of you are college students, but most of you are college students and some high school kids too.

00:34:06.000 So you're in, gosh, the past few years for you.

00:34:09.000 Like, I want to apologize, not on behalf of us, because we were against the lockdowns.

00:34:14.000 We were against the virtual learning.

00:34:16.000 We were against you having to be home.

00:34:18.000 But I just, I guess I want to apologize on behalf of adults that adults allowed their paranoia and their unscientific fears to ruin two years of your lives, of young people's lives in general.

00:34:31.000 And I hope you made the most of it.

00:34:32.000 And I hope it didn't really ruin two years of your life.

00:34:35.000 But I like to tell people, which is kind of depressing, but I think a really important lesson for all of us to remember, especially for those people who are saying, oh, you know, just after the next variant goes away or just after Dr. Fauci tells us that we can come out, then finally we'll go back to normal and finally our life, we'll catch all of this back up.

00:34:53.000 Look, we're two years closer to death, no matter what.

00:34:56.000 Two years closer to death.

00:34:59.000 So either we wasted the last two years sitting on our hands waiting for Dr. Fauci to tell us what to do, or we continue to make the most of the time that we have.

00:35:08.000 So remember that right now.

00:35:09.000 In a year from now, you'll be one year closer to death.

00:35:12.000 Tomorrow, you will be one day closer to death.

00:35:15.000 And we don't know how much time we have.

00:35:17.000 And so we have to make the most of every second that we have.

00:35:20.000 I'm sorry that the last two years have been so bizarre, but allow that to actually be an impetus for you to, one, never trust government bureaucracy.

00:35:32.000 Never trust them.

00:35:33.000 Realize that they do not have your best interest at heart.

00:35:36.000 They don't love you.

00:35:38.000 They're not going to care for you.

00:35:39.000 They're not your moral arbiter.

00:35:41.000 No matter what, they are not going to be the one that's there for you at the end of the day.

00:35:47.000 Do the unpopular thing and try to get married and start a family.

00:35:50.000 Yes, do that as quickly as you can.

00:35:55.000 You'll hear a lot of climate activists, a lot of different kinds of ideologues say that having kids is, you know, it's, it's irresponsible or getting married is not any better than being single.

00:36:09.000 Yeah.

00:36:10.000 And it's just not true.

00:36:12.000 And that goes back to like how you see human beings.

00:36:14.000 If you see human beings as a debit to society, then sure, having kids is irresponsible.

00:36:19.000 But that's not how the Christian, and I don't think most conservatives see human beings like that.

00:36:24.000 Human beings are a credit to the world.

00:36:26.000 Human beings are a credit to society, not a debit.

00:36:29.000 We're not actually taking away.

00:36:31.000 So get married, have children, live a normal life.

00:36:35.000 And you don't have to be an influencer to have influence.

00:36:40.000 You don't have to be a celebrity to make a difference.

00:36:43.000 You don't even have to be in the majority to make a difference.

00:36:47.000 Do the next right thing in faith with excellence for the glory of God.

00:36:53.000 Make your life as simple, as normal and as stable as you possibly can.

00:37:03.000 And then have eight children and tell them to do the same thing.

00:37:09.000 Look for happiness in the places that the world is telling you that it's not.

00:37:13.000 The world is telling you that happiness is found in promiscuity, that it's found in all kinds of fleeting pleasures, whether that's partying or whatever, even if it's just your job and success and money.

00:37:24.000 It's not found there.

00:37:26.000 Don't learn that the hard way.

00:37:29.000 Happiness is actually found, one, in tethering yourself to a value system that's bigger than you, namely the God who created you, the only person who can tell you who you're worth and what you're here for.

00:37:40.000 And then start a family, like I said, get married, work hard.

00:37:44.000 We're all going to die.

00:37:46.000 And that's it.

00:37:48.000 But we believe we'll live forever.

00:37:50.000 So that's true.

00:37:52.000 So I'll add on that.

00:37:53.000 I say be distrustful also of the corporate bureaucracy too, not just the government one.

00:37:58.000 This was something that was, I never really trusted corporations to bullying, but boy, do I have a disgust for them after these last couple of years.

00:38:05.000 The funding of BLM, the Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, the major media companies.

00:38:13.000 I just don't like big anymore.

00:38:15.000 I don't like big companies.

00:38:16.000 I don't like big pharma.

00:38:18.000 I don't like big government.

00:38:20.000 I don't like big media.

00:38:22.000 I don't like some, actually most big churches.

00:38:25.000 Separate conversation for a different time.

00:38:27.000 I think there needs to be like a reemergence of the small, but the strong.

00:38:33.000 It could be a big family, but it's relatively not big compared to what's happening in the country.

00:38:37.000 You know what I mean by big.

00:38:38.000 I mean, Disney, $250 billion, bureaucratic and monolithic and politically correct.

00:38:44.000 And I think that there's a...

00:38:45.000 It's driven by activism rather than meritocracy.

00:38:49.000 And so that's kind of been one of the learning lessons for me is that, you know, it's more than just big government we're fighting, right?

00:38:56.000 It's not, it's more than just a union of big government and big corporations.

00:38:59.000 It's just bigness.

00:39:01.000 And they've been captured by these ideologues and they're going to have a lot of power for years to come.

00:39:07.000 And so I would encourage as many young people as possible, start new stuff, start new businesses, start new ventures, and start families.

00:39:13.000 You're exactly right, Ali.

00:39:14.000 I mean, this is, I get, we get a lot of emails on our program, and I probably get 250 of these a week.

00:39:21.000 Probably a month, not a week.

00:39:22.000 That's, that's probably a month.

00:39:22.000 But it's at least of men in their 30s and women in their 30s.

00:39:26.000 Charlie, I can't find anyone.

00:39:27.000 And I always respond the same way.

00:39:30.000 Were you open to marrying in your early 20s?

00:39:33.000 And 99% say no, I was focused on my career.

00:39:36.000 Say, okay, well, best of luck.

00:39:38.000 I wish you well.

00:39:39.000 But if you're not prioritizing marriage when the good ones are available, then by definition.

00:39:47.000 You know what you should do?

00:39:48.000 You should reply to the guy and CC the girl.

00:39:51.000 Yeah, I'm not.

00:39:52.000 I just emailed you and was like, you're right.

00:39:54.000 There's way too much liability involved.

00:39:55.000 Yeah.

00:39:56.000 That's very true.

00:39:56.000 Okay.

00:39:57.000 You never know, exactly.

00:39:58.000 I said, staying far away from that.

00:40:00.000 But yeah, but I could give some advice to men.

00:40:03.000 You could give us advice to women. 0.92

00:40:05.000 Most men in America are grown infants. 0.90

00:40:08.000 They got to get their life together.

00:40:10.000 There's a massive overdrinking problem with young men in America.

00:40:13.000 I don't know where this comes from.

00:40:14.000 It's a massive pornography problem. 1.00

00:40:16.000 Huge pornography problem.

00:40:17.000 I just debated someone who was part of that.

00:40:20.000 And you guys could check out that whole debate. 0.98

00:40:22.000 It was a trans porn person, whatever that is. 0.93

00:40:25.000 It was really, the whole thing was bizarre.

00:40:27.000 No, I think it should be just outright banned by the government, by the way.

00:40:30.000 Pornography should be banned at heart, almost impossible to access.

00:40:36.000 And I've said that for a while.

00:40:37.000 And you know what's so funny?

00:40:39.000 You know what's so funny is someone says, Charlie, people will still get to it.

00:40:43.000 I say, okay, then why does the pornography industry lobby against the ban?

00:40:49.000 Because it would hurt their business model.

00:40:51.000 No, no, it's not a matter of 100%.

00:40:52.000 Okay.

00:40:53.000 It's a matter of, can you get 10% less people consuming?

00:40:56.000 20%, 30%.

00:40:57.000 That would be a massive achievement.

00:41:00.000 By the way, by that logic, you would have no laws.

00:41:03.000 And you kind of think about it, maybe they do want no laws, except if you misgender somebody, which is like anarcho-tyranny. 0.63

00:41:08.000 Yeah, they anarchic.

00:41:10.000 Anarchy for the degeneracy, tyranny for the political correctness stuff.

00:41:14.000 Separate lecture for a different time.

00:41:15.000 Term that I love, anarcho-tyranny.

00:41:17.000 But yeah, so for men out there, I just want to challenge you.

00:41:21.000 There's a beautiful life ahead of you if you want to apply yourself for it.

00:41:25.000 And it requires like being a man again.

00:41:27.000 So what does that mean?

00:41:28.000 That means being very intentional about boosting your testosterone levels.

00:41:32.000 I'm not kidding, by the way.

00:41:33.000 Like eating red meat and actually lifting weights and acting like a man and not dressing like some androgynous male that's walking the streets of Manhattan.

00:41:40.000 I'm not joking when I say this, probably.

00:41:42.000 At all.

00:41:44.000 And so, and the New York Times loses their mind when I say this.

00:41:49.000 Toxic masculinity.

00:41:50.000 Let me tell you, the reason that men are afraid to be men is because of the culture and all this sort of stuff.

00:41:56.000 But men, you need to be strong to protect people that can't protect themselves.

00:42:00.000 And so the most masculine thing you can do is to stand up against someone who has some form of strength to defend someone who can't defend themselves, particularly women, by the way.

00:42:09.000 And that is a role that has been completely vanished in society.

00:42:14.000 And so, look, I think this part of the world in particular is like dying for this message, right?

00:42:19.000 I think in kind of Auburn, Alabama, this kind of hyper, you know, I don't even, I used to say hyper-feminization, but I don't even know what that means anymore because they can't even tell me what womanhood is.

00:42:28.000 So just this hyper-insane kind of regime that's being put forward.

00:42:32.000 Yeah, the weakness.

00:42:32.000 So I'll just say this to the men in particular.

00:42:35.000 You need a lead and you need to be someone worth dating and marrying. 0.80

00:42:38.000 Because a lot of women email my show and they say the men are addicted to alcohol.

00:42:42.000 They have no drive.

00:42:43.000 They have no purpose.

00:42:44.000 They sleep until noon.

00:42:46.000 They're playing video games all day long.

00:42:48.000 They have no self-control.

00:42:49.000 No self-control.

00:42:50.000 By the way, self-control is a very, you know, very desirable quality.

00:42:53.000 It's a fruit of the spirit.

00:42:55.000 That's right.

00:42:55.000 It's the last of the fruit of the spirit.

00:42:57.000 And so my, and by the way, this is the only way you can get through to men, which is you got to man up and stop blaming other people for your problems.

00:43:05.000 And that right there, I think, could just improve the country dramatically.

00:43:09.000 Allie, you could give advice to young women.

00:43:10.000 I try to stay away from that.

00:43:12.000 Yeah.

00:43:13.000 Well, actually, so it's in it, it's in a different way, but I think that women are also told to blame other people for our problems. 1.00

00:43:19.000 Like, women are often told that our biggest problem is insecurity. 1.00

00:43:22.000 And the reason that we're insecure and that we hate ourselves and we feel small is because society or capitalism or the patriarchy or Christianity or whatever has told us or has set unfair expectations that we haven't been able to reach.

00:43:37.000 And so, what is the message that young women here? 0.56

00:43:40.000 Just love yourself, just focus on yourself more.

00:43:42.000 Just talk about how pretty you are all the time, and you're perfect the way you are.

00:43:46.000 You're enough the way you are.

00:43:48.000 Look, we've been told that for the past 10 to 20 years, and guess what?

00:43:53.000 Our depression rates, our suicide rates are higher than they've ever been.

00:43:57.000 So, tell me: if self-love was the answer to our depression and anxiety, would women be killing ourselves at higher rates than we ever have?

00:44:07.000 No, that's obviously not the solution to our problems.

00:44:10.000 One of our problems, I think, is that we think about ourselves too much.

00:44:14.000 We're focused on ourselves too much.

00:44:17.000 We are too much thinking about our insecurities, our strengths, and our weaknesses, and our personality traits.

00:44:24.000 It started out like what Disney princess are you on Facebook, and now we're constantly listening to podcasts and reading books and telling us: okay, if I just do these 10 steps, then I'll finally love myself and I'll release my inner goddess and I'll make more money and I'll find the boyfriend that I want.

00:44:40.000 And it's just not true.

00:44:41.000 And let me just speak from a Christian, a theological perspective for a second.

00:44:45.000 And I know there might be different faiths in this room, but because I'm a Christian, this is just what makes the most sense to me.

00:44:50.000 And whether you like it or not, we were all created by God.

00:44:54.000 So, the self can't be both the problem and the solution.

00:44:58.000 So, if inside of yourself you are finding feelings like we all do of depression, anxiety, purposeless loneliness, you are not going to find the answer to those things inside yourself.

00:45:07.000 Your problem is not society, it's not the patriarchy, it's not capitalism, it's not fat phobia, it's you.

00:45:15.000 We are our own problem, we are the problem, sin is the problem.

00:45:19.000 And the only way to find the solution to all of the problems inside of ourselves is to look outside of ourselves, namely to the God who created us, who tells us who we are and what we're worth and what we're here for.

00:45:36.000 That's what everyone is looking for, man or woman, right? 0.99

00:45:38.000 Like, why am I here?

00:45:40.000 Who am I?

00:45:41.000 The only person who can answer that is the God who made you in his image.

00:45:46.000 That's beautifully said, Ellie.

00:45:47.000 That was terrific.

00:45:48.000 It really was.

00:45:51.000 Dinesh D'Souza has a real special movie coming out, everybody.

00:45:55.000 In 2020, November 2020, Democrats were up to no good.

00:46:00.000 They were planning to pull off one of the greatest schemes of election fraud never seen before, but they didn't think we would catch them.

00:46:06.000 But we did.

00:46:07.000 Find out what they did and how they did it in a new documentary film called 2000 Mules, directed and narrated by renowned filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, an executive produced by the Salem Media Group, with research from truthevote.org.

00:46:20.000 2000 Mules is going to be a game changer.

00:46:23.000 2000 Mules tells the story of the ones who tried to hijack a presidential election.

00:46:27.000 You'll see actual video surveillance tape.

00:46:29.000 You'll see how we track their cell phones to box after box after they got paid to carry out this illegal scheme.

00:46:35.000 Watch the trailer for yourself.

00:46:37.000 It's 2000mules.com and check your local listings and get your tickets today at 2000mules.com.

00:46:51.000 That is 2000mules.com.

00:46:54.000 I'm in the movie.

00:46:55.000 It is a game changer.

00:46:56.000 Check it out right now: 2000mules.com.

00:46:58.000 That is 2000mules.com.

00:47:04.000 All right, let's do some questions, everybody.

00:47:07.000 And so we have a process to do that.

00:47:09.000 And we'll get through as many as we possibly can.

00:47:12.000 And again, these are questions, not a political speech with a question.

00:47:17.000 Oh, hey guys, good to see you now.

00:47:18.000 I can see everybody.

00:47:20.000 As we are kind of filing there, we reserve the right to interrupt and do all that fun stuff.

00:47:26.000 So, okay, let's kick it off right here.

00:47:30.000 And one other thing, by the way, so this is a predominantly conservative audience, right?

00:47:34.000 So if there's someone who has a contrarian viewpoint, a left-wing viewpoint, don't heckle them or mock them.

00:47:42.000 Unlike the left, we're going to give them the respect that they don't give us.

00:47:45.000 Okay?

00:47:46.000 That's what we're going to do.

00:47:48.000 So it takes, and I will say it takes guts to be a leftist to come to an event like this in front of 500 people or whatever, and ask a question.

00:47:48.000 All right.

00:47:57.000 So just let them get it out and then we'll respond, you know?

00:48:00.000 And so just give them that, give them that platform.

00:48:03.000 We would ask that of them, even though that's not what we get.

00:48:06.000 All right.

00:48:06.000 Question.

00:48:07.000 Hi, Charlie and Ali.

00:48:08.000 Thank you so much for coming.

00:48:09.000 Auburn really appreciates it.

00:48:11.000 So the ideologies and harms of the current administration we've heard discussed today is really just a left blurring the lines between men and women, removing God given individuality, depopulation through abortion and the collapse of the family unit, and implementing communistic ideals and policies that will and are leading us to globalism, which is outlined in Agenda 2030 and the World Economic Forum.

00:48:32.000 So what are true traditionalist conservatives?

00:48:35.000 What should we be doing to prevent the new world order?

00:48:39.000 Girl, you got it.

00:48:40.000 You see things as they are.

00:48:41.000 I love how you connected all that.

00:48:43.000 So Charlie actually mentioned this earlier because it can feel super overwhelming.

00:48:47.000 Like if you're not super familiar with the great reset, we won't get into all of that.

00:48:50.000 Unfortunately, it's not a conspiracy theory.

00:48:52.000 The World Economic Forum is a very powerful body and they wanted to use COVID as a great reset.

00:48:59.000 Actually, they're loving this supply chain stuff.

00:49:01.000 They're loving the high cost of fertilizer.

00:49:04.000 So we can't depend on local farms and things like that.

00:49:06.000 So it really is so that we rely on a great global government who can set the rules, set the currency, and all of that.

00:49:13.000 There's only so much we can do, especially when we have a decrepit, degenerate in office who is going along with that kind of thing.

00:49:22.000 And so what we can do is do the opposite of what they want us to do, which is sit at home in misery and trust the government to tell us what to do and watch Netflix all day.

00:49:31.000 So we rely, instead of globalization, we move towards what Charlie said earlier, which is localization.

00:49:38.000 I think that there should be a big movement on depending on family, depending on your church, depending on your community, not just for your spiritual and emotional needs, although that's so important, but also for our physical needs.

00:49:49.000 Look, we don't know what's going to happen with inflation.

00:49:52.000 We don't know what's going to happen with the supply chain and food shortages and things like that.

00:49:57.000 We're going to have to start loving our neighbor in really tangible ways.

00:50:00.000 So if you're not a part of a local church, if you don't know local families in the area, if you have not created community with like-minded people, now is the time to do it.

00:50:08.000 You don't know what strengths God has given you for such a time as this, not just to provide for yourself and those closest to you, but provide for those in your community.

00:50:17.000 So rather than moving towards globalization and depending on big government for everything, we move toward localization, polarization, make red areas redder, and depend on one another.

00:50:28.000 That's my solution to it.

00:50:30.000 That's exactly right.

00:50:31.000 It could feel very intimidating when you see Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum do all these sorts of things.

00:50:36.000 And so, yeah, I'm seeing a movement already.

00:50:39.000 Homeschooling helps a lot.

00:50:40.000 Growing your own food helps a lot.

00:50:42.000 Being able to provide for your family outside of the supply chain disruptions.

00:50:46.000 Being able to protect your family if things start to fall apart.

00:50:49.000 Thank goodness we still have a Second Amendment in our country, and we need to take that very seriously.

00:50:54.000 Not every country does.

00:50:56.000 And so, look, I'm not a doomsday guy, nor is Allie, but I see the writing on the wall.

00:51:01.000 So does she.

00:51:02.000 And one of the things the regime is trying to, the regime media that's trying to make you believe, it's like, oh, things are always going to be fine.

00:51:07.000 They'll never fall apart.

00:51:09.000 I think we're smarter than that.

00:51:10.000 I think we know the cycle of history and the cycle of civilization.

00:51:13.000 I hope it doesn't happen.

00:51:14.000 I'm going to fight that it doesn't happen.

00:51:16.000 But things can fall apart really quickly.

00:51:17.000 As Ernest Hemingway said, things can happen gradually than suddenly.

00:51:20.000 And next thing you know, all of a sudden, there'll be mass food shortages.

00:51:23.000 And who are you going to go to for that?

00:51:25.000 So the best thing you can do is to be able to say, I'm going to take responsibility for that, right?

00:51:30.000 We're starting to see this kind of revival of self-government movement.

00:51:34.000 And that's where churches can come into play, especially local churches and smaller churches, which I'm a big fan of in particular.

00:51:42.000 And so, yeah, that would be my answer to that.

00:51:43.000 But I believe that the great reset crowd, the World Economic Forum types, I think they're increasingly upset. 0.66

00:51:50.000 In fact, I think they're anxious and paranoid because we are not accepting the garbage that they're putting forward.

00:51:55.000 If you look at the eight predictions that they put forward in 2030, we don't have to get into this unless you guys want to in the next questions.

00:52:01.000 But some are kind of bizarre and some are really scary.

00:52:04.000 America will no longer be the world's superpower.

00:52:06.000 Western values will be brought to a breaking point.

00:52:08.000 You'll own nothing and you'll be happy by 2030.

00:52:12.000 You'll eat almost no meat.

00:52:14.000 A billion people will be displaced as refugees because of climate change.

00:52:17.000 You'll be going to Mars.

00:52:19.000 And there's a couple others that I can't remember.

00:52:21.000 First, people are going to be colonizing on Mars.

00:52:23.000 There's a couple other that fossil fuels will be totally eradicated and eliminated.

00:52:27.000 And these are their predictions by 2030.

00:52:29.000 Now, who are these people?

00:52:30.000 Heads of state, finance, celebrities, you name it.

00:52:33.000 But I believe that the implementation of this great reset, which is really being done through our currency and the deterioration thereof, inflation is a thief.

00:52:40.000 Inflation is a highway robber of normal middle class, muscular class Americans, is trying to be able to reset that.

00:52:47.000 But we can't let them hijack the conversation or our own livelihoods.

00:52:52.000 We have to take responsibility for our own lives.

00:52:53.000 So thank you.

00:52:54.000 Appreciate it.

00:53:00.000 Thank y'all both so much for coming.

00:53:02.000 This kind of goes back to what y'all were saying about how most Americans don't actually want freedom, but rather comfortability.

00:53:08.000 So I'm from California, and I feel like I've seen more people fighting for their freedoms and kind of against all the mandates from where I'm from rather than here.

00:53:17.000 I think people here kind of just are comfortable and they say, oh, it's a red state.

00:53:22.000 Like nothing bad's going to happen.

00:53:24.000 It'll just blow over.

00:53:26.000 So I think it's only a matter of time.

00:53:29.000 Like what hyper indoctrination is going on on the coast will immediately reach the middle of America in the South.

00:53:36.000 So what do y'all think as conservative student body we can do to kind of stop this and pause it?

00:53:42.000 Well, yeah, I mean, your instincts are right.

00:53:44.000 I mean, look, Alabama is a phenomenal state.

00:53:47.000 I love coming here.

00:53:48.000 And you guys are a super conservative state for now.

00:53:51.000 Things can change.

00:53:52.000 They can change quickly.

00:53:53.000 Just look at the education system, look at some of the influences that are happening.

00:53:57.000 You know, I'll say this in my personal capacity, and we could dive into this at greater length of someone's interests, that just because someone has an R in front of their name doesn't mean that they share your values.

00:54:06.000 In fact, sometimes that is used as camouflage to try to get into political circles to try to manipulate people that would share those values.

00:54:13.000 I'll let you guys sort out who actually those people in the state are and who isn't.

00:54:16.000 I never go into a state and tell you how to run your politics.

00:54:19.000 I think that's, I think it's wrong to do that.

00:54:20.000 I can give you advice or takes, but you guys know it better.

00:54:22.000 You live here.

00:54:23.000 You know who actually is doing a good job.

00:54:25.000 But yeah, look, this is something that the left is imperialistic.

00:54:28.000 This is a very important point, is that they're not just comfortable that they have 99% support in downtown San Francisco.

00:54:35.000 You have to understand when you, if you subscribe to just their email list, I'm talking about the ACLU and the Human Rights Watch and all this, like what animates them, what they raise money off of, what they're like really worried about is that like someone in Dothan, Alabama, like isn't completely on board for the trans thing.

00:54:50.000 Like they're really upset about that.

00:54:52.000 They're like someone right now in Dothan doesn't share our values.

00:54:56.000 Every six seconds, someone defines a woman biologically. 0.99

00:55:00.000 And they're like, therefore, like we need to assemble our forces and we need to go raise another $2 billion to go into Alabama and tell them how to live their life.

00:55:09.000 And this hasn't been as successful as I think they would like it to be.

00:55:11.000 I think there's been a lot of good movements to push back against that.

00:55:14.000 But I think those of you that have lived in Alabama your whole life, I think you've probably seen some change in the last 20 or 30 years that are happening in Alabama.

00:55:21.000 You never would have thought it happened in this state, right?

00:55:24.000 And so, look, no state is off limits to these people at all.

00:55:28.000 And this is one of the great stories.

00:55:29.000 And I just want to focus in on what should success look like.

00:55:33.000 I mean, you have to elevate courageous people when you see that.

00:55:36.000 And Ron DeSantis, I mean, Florida is one of the few.

00:55:39.000 It's so amazing.

00:55:40.000 It really is amazing because that's a state that was trending more towards this left-wing direction and is now, and I got to be careful saying this, but I've done some thinking about this.

00:55:51.000 I think legislatively, it's more politically conservative than Alabama has been in the last year.

00:55:56.000 And maybe you guys could disagree with that or not, but I think I look across the board.

00:56:01.000 It passed more strong conservative bills.

00:56:03.000 And yet, Alabama is way more conservative than Florida.

00:56:07.000 The reason is why.

00:56:08.000 How is that possible?

00:56:09.000 Well, a couple of reasons.

00:56:10.000 In Florida, because it's a 50-50 state, the left-wingers run as Democrats.

00:56:15.000 So they don't have to go camouflage themselves in the Republican Party, where you see a lot of that here.

00:56:20.000 That's kind of the benefit of living in a 50-50 state.

00:56:23.000 And the other kind of part of that, though, is leadership.

00:56:26.000 I'm a huge believer in leadership.

00:56:28.000 And boy, is it rare.

00:56:29.000 It is hard to find leaders that are willing to oppose the media, do so in an articulate and charismatic fashion, understand what they're fighting for and why they're fighting for it.

00:56:37.000 So look, your instincts are right.

00:56:39.000 And my message to the people of Alabama is: look at Georgia.

00:56:43.000 I mean, my goodness.

00:56:44.000 I mean, some of you probably live in Georgia, by the way, or from Georgia.

00:56:46.000 You came across just for this event.

00:56:48.000 I mean, really, Georgia now has two left-wing senators and Senate's electors.

00:56:53.000 I know we can get into all the other 2020 nonsense, but I think we all agree Georgia's changed a lot.

00:56:59.000 Now, why did Georgia change? 0.99

00:57:00.000 A lot of reasons.

00:57:01.000 I'll give you one example, and then I'll let Allie, if you want to chime in on this, which is conservatives elevated market principles, which is fine, over the well-being of their state. 0.74

00:57:14.000 What example would that be?

00:57:15.000 Well, some numbskull in Georgia said, you know, what would be a great idea if we go give tax credits to Hollywood to come make movies here? 0.99

00:57:23.000 What a dumb idea. 0.98

00:57:25.000 Now, okay, yeah, created all this wealth. 1.00

00:57:27.000 So now you have super tall buildings in Buckhead.

00:57:29.000 So you feel like you're living in Manhattan, great.

00:57:31.000 And now you have nothing but left-wingers in Atlanta.

00:57:35.000 So what do you get?

00:57:36.000 You lose your state and you get a bunch of high-rises and like better steakhouses that you can't even get a reservation at in Atlanta.

00:57:41.000 That's basically the bargain, right?

00:57:44.000 And that's conservatives who are thinking with profit margins in their wallet and not like, do we actually want to import Will Farrell into our state?

00:57:52.000 Which literally, I think he's a registered voter in Georgia, if I'm not mistaken.

00:57:55.000 He spent so much time there.

00:57:56.000 And so, yeah, this can happen quickly in Alabama.

00:57:59.000 Yeah.

00:58:00.000 And just to, I know we're kind of talking a lot about Ron DeSantis, but who doesn't want to talk about Ron DeSantis?

00:58:06.000 He kind of stands alone.

00:58:07.000 I got to be honest, though.

00:58:08.000 So I had the honor of being in Tallahassee just a couple of days ago.

00:58:13.000 I was just a couple days ago and I got to have dinner with him.

00:58:17.000 And that was just the thing that struck me was his strength and his willingness.

00:58:22.000 This is the thing.

00:58:22.000 I guarantee you, this is what most Republican voters want their Republican elected officials to do is say, I don't care.

00:58:30.000 I don't care what the media says.

00:58:32.000 I don't care what Disney says.

00:58:34.000 I don't care what those corporations say.

00:58:35.000 Oh, you San Francisco tech company that's threatening to no longer come to Florida because we're not going to give you the tax benefits or because you want five-year-olds to be taught about gender switching.

00:58:44.000 That's too bad.

00:58:46.000 I mean, I think that a lot of Republican governors, because we're pro-business, like Charlie was saying, just invite all of the businesses in and then the quality of life goes down.

00:58:55.000 Where progressives concentrate, the quality of life goes down because progressive policy is destroyed.

00:59:01.000 They just do.

00:59:01.000 That's the nature of them.

00:59:02.000 And so I think the lesson, and this goes back to your question, the lesson from Ron DeSantis and other people in history like them is like courage begets courage.

00:59:13.000 So be the first person willing to stand up and take an unpopular stance, even when no one else is.

00:59:20.000 I guarantee you that a lot of people around you feel the same way you do.

00:59:24.000 When you raise your hand and you say, you know what, I know this is unpopular, but someone's got to say it.

00:59:29.000 This is the right thing to do.

00:59:30.000 This is the right thing to say.

00:59:32.000 This is the truth.

00:59:32.000 This is good.

00:59:33.000 Whatever.

00:59:34.000 That turns into a contagion.

00:59:36.000 And other people feel that courage.

00:59:37.000 We see that with Ron DeSantis.

00:59:39.000 We see Republican governors say, oh, well, conservatives like Ron DeSantis, I'm going to do that too.

00:59:45.000 I'm going to be for freedom.

00:59:46.000 I'm going to open businesses up, whatever it is.

00:59:48.000 Well, apply that to your own life in a small way, whether it's at school or in your communities.

00:59:54.000 Stand up, do the courageous thing.

00:59:56.000 Courage begets courage.

00:59:58.000 Well said.

00:59:58.000 Thank you for your question.

00:59:59.000 Appreciate it.

01:00:00.000 Thank you.

01:00:05.000 Thank you for coming out and welcome to the Better Alabama School.

01:00:15.000 As more and more major companies fold to a left-wing mob that does not represent the majority of our country, should conservatives focus on building their own alternatives like companies like the Daily Wire are doing?

01:00:24.000 Or should we use what power we have left to try and retake the companies?

01:00:29.000 So I think that you can do both.

01:00:31.000 I mean, I happen to know that there are Christian conservatives who work inside Disney who have been trying to do that.

01:00:36.000 Now it's just really difficult because conservative Christians are respectful and kind.

01:00:42.000 And when one side is shouting you down and calling you names, it can be really easy to be quiet and not actually affect change.

01:00:49.000 So if we are willing to stay inside an institution and do, this is another phrase that I like to use a lot, raise a respectful ruckus, be that squeaky wheel that is constantly speaking up when it's unpopular, knowing that there are risks involved in that.

01:01:02.000 When you're opposing, for example, diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in your company or in your school or speaking up about certain things, there's risk that comes to that.

01:01:11.000 But if you're willing to be that, I do think change can happen.

01:01:14.000 You don't have to be in the majority to make a difference.

01:01:17.000 At the same time, I am really glad companies like Daily Wire and other companies are building those alternatives.

01:01:26.000 So I think, I actually think that if you are a consumer of a product, you are actually using your power to change that company by taking your dollars away from that company and giving it to another company.

01:01:41.000 I don't think that's like a dereliction of duty or that you're giving up your responsibility.

01:01:46.000 But if you're working in those institutions, I do think that you can, as far as you are concerned, work to change it until you feel called to something else.

01:01:55.000 Yeah, I'll just comment on one part of it.

01:01:57.000 I think Allie's spot on is we need more people to start more stuff. 1.00

01:02:00.000 We need more entrepreneurs.

01:02:01.000 There's a massive entrepreneur deficit.

01:02:03.000 I'm going to say this respectfully.

01:02:05.000 You don't learn entrepreneurship in college.

01:02:06.000 You just don't.

01:02:07.000 You don't learn much in college.

01:02:08.000 Separate issue for a different time.

01:02:10.000 But that's something else.

01:02:12.000 But we need people to start stuff.

01:02:14.000 You learn it by doing.

01:02:15.000 And it takes risk.

01:02:17.000 You have to embrace risk and it takes ambition.

01:02:20.000 I'm sure everyone here has an idea for a business.

01:02:22.000 Go do it.

01:02:23.000 In fact, that idea probably might warrant you putting college on hold.

01:02:26.000 I'm not kidding.

01:02:27.000 You can always go back to college.

01:02:28.000 As soon as you break out of college, though, you have that student loan debt around your neck and the clock is ticking and you're less likely to start the business.

01:02:34.000 I tell this to high school kids all the time.

01:02:37.000 I decided to take a gap year.

01:02:38.000 It's been a decade of a gap year.

01:02:39.000 Actually, it's been a gap decade.

01:02:41.000 And I might take another decade after it.

01:02:43.000 College wasn't for me.

01:02:44.000 Turning point USA came to life. 0.57

01:02:46.000 It was a couple of really tough years to get it started.

01:02:47.000 And here we are.

01:02:48.000 Someone in this room right now has a phenomenal idea where you could become a millionaire in a couple of years and it would be a non-woke business.

01:02:54.000 The only thing preventing you is because you think you need the piece of paper first.

01:02:57.000 Well, guess what?

01:02:58.000 As soon as that piece of paper comes, the diploma, the chance of you starting that business goes down by like 90%.

01:03:03.000 Every study shows that.

01:03:04.000 He's like, oh, I got to do this.

01:03:05.000 I got to do that.

01:03:06.000 I got to go pay it off.

01:03:07.000 So America, one of the reasons why America is the greatest nation ever is because we've always had a culture of entrepreneurship.

01:03:12.000 And I'm afraid we're losing that.

01:03:14.000 And so who are the people that should start the businesses?

01:03:16.000 You.

01:03:16.000 You're the ones that have nothing to lose, literally.

01:03:18.000 You have no money to your name, so you might as well start something.

01:03:22.000 I mean, it's not, you don't start the business when you're 45.

01:03:25.000 Some do, but the rates of that are really low.

01:03:28.000 And so I'm afraid we're losing that.

01:03:30.000 And I just want to encourage you that this is an opportunity to go take a risk and to start a business and whatever you think you have a skill at, whatever that might be.

01:03:38.000 Yeah, just one thing to add to that.

01:03:39.000 That's also where we talk about community a lot.

01:03:42.000 And I just think it's so important to talk about.

01:03:43.000 That's also where community comes in.

01:03:45.000 You're not going to be able to build the business or start the thing completely by yourself.

01:03:48.000 I'm sure you had mentors.

01:03:50.000 You had other people.

01:03:50.000 You were bouncing ideas off.

01:03:52.000 People who invested in you in more ways than one, who taught you things.

01:03:56.000 We all need that.

01:03:57.000 So get to know people in your community, get to know families locally, people in your church.

01:04:01.000 I'm not just talking about people who are going to be able to financially support you.

01:04:05.000 You never know what connections is going to lead you to the thing that you are actually called to do.

01:04:09.000 So we need to get really good.

01:04:11.000 This generation is not really good at communication because we've been on our phones constantly.

01:04:15.000 Get really good at communication.

01:04:17.000 Get really good at building relationships.

01:04:19.000 Get really good at looking adults in the eye and being able to communicate to them clearly.

01:04:24.000 You will be so far ahead of your peers.

01:04:27.000 Thank you for your question.

01:04:27.000 Appreciate it.

01:04:28.000 Thanks for being here.

01:04:32.000 Hey, how's it going?

01:04:34.000 So obviously technology is advancing very fast.

01:04:38.000 With that comes a lot of new ideas, but also new moral conundrums and problems.

01:04:44.000 How do you advocate doing the right thing when these ideas are so complex for the average person?

01:04:51.000 And then I guess the second part of my question is, I'm a TikToker and I'm wondering what your opinion is on the platform.

01:04:58.000 Yeah, I won't hold that against you.

01:05:01.000 Well, my question for that is, why do conservatives blame stuff like TikTok instead of trying to utilize these things?

01:05:08.000 Look, that's a fair question. 0.82

01:05:09.000 I think TikTok's mostly garbage, but I will. 1.00

01:05:12.000 Look, I mean, it is a garbage platform. 1.00

01:05:13.000 It just is. 1.00

01:05:14.000 It is designed by neuroscientists to make you dumb and easy to control. 0.95

01:05:18.000 Every single study shows that the whole model is to try to be hyper-addictive in a short video format. 0.92

01:05:23.000 Does that mean conservatives should engage on it?

01:05:25.000 Of course, it's the biggest app for anyone under 25.

01:05:27.000 I'll tell you this right now.

01:05:28.000 If you want any form of success in your life other than being a TikToker, get off TikTok.

01:05:32.000 It's just you're not going to flourish by being on that application.

01:05:35.000 The redeemable value of TikTok is negative.

01:05:37.000 I'm not trying to offend you.

01:05:38.000 I'm just being very honest, right?

01:05:39.000 But I want more people like you that are not woke on there, hopefully enlightening people and pushing back against it.

01:05:45.000 But it's a Chinese military operation. 0.96

01:05:46.000 It's owned by the Chinese Communist Party to make American teenagers and American 20-year-olds super dumb and easy to control. 0.97

01:05:53.000 They don't let their young people on it. 0.97

01:05:55.000 They actually have, I'm not saying that.

01:05:56.000 They ban TikTok for their young people.

01:05:57.000 Yeah, I'm not saying that this is good necessarily, but they actually have time limits and they only allow their young people to look at like science.

01:06:04.000 Oh, I think that's really good.

01:06:05.000 So no, I mean, like, I was like, just so you know, I've lobbied for like two things in my life.

01:06:10.000 I was lobbying Trump so hard to ban TikTok in America.

01:06:13.000 Like, I was like, you've got to sign the executive order.

01:06:15.000 Get out of these kids' phones.

01:06:16.000 Depression will go down.

01:06:17.000 Everything will go up.

01:06:19.000 And I failed.

01:06:20.000 I don't, I agree with that.

01:06:22.000 I agree with that.

01:06:23.000 What I was saying is I don't think the government should be necessarily setting time limits on your phone for how long you can be doing something as a general principle.

01:06:29.000 But I do agree TikTok is terrible.

01:06:31.000 And just girls, let me say, I don't know if you know this, but I heard this person who used to work at Instagram talking about this on a podcast.

01:06:37.000 And the reason why TikTok is so addictive, especially for girls, is because you know how on Instagram you can do a filter, makes your nose a little smaller, makes your eyes a little more cat eye, but you can actually see, okay, this person is using a filter.

01:06:48.000 I'm using a filter.

01:06:49.000 Well, TikTok has a natural filter that does all of that without telling you.

01:06:53.000 So the reason why you love how you look on TikTok is not because you suddenly look better than you do in the mirror.

01:06:58.000 It's because it's a distortion of your image, which wow, that is so demonic.

01:07:02.000 So just consider that.

01:07:03.000 Yeah.

01:07:03.000 And so, look, I'm just, I hate social media as it is.

01:07:06.000 I have none of the apps on my phone.

01:07:07.000 I'm super blessed to be able to have a team that, you know, publishes all of our stuff for me.

01:07:10.000 I think TikTok, Twitter, which I'm not on anymore.

01:07:13.000 It's awesome.

01:07:14.000 Instagram and YouTube, Destroy Souls. 0.94

01:07:16.000 We got along really well as human beings before these ridiculous applications. 0.99

01:07:20.000 I say this as a total hypocrite, by the way. 0.97

01:07:21.000 I have like 7 million followers on all these platforms. 0.98

01:07:24.000 But is it a hypocrite or am I a subject matter expert to tell you how awful these are?

01:07:27.000 I want you to think about that, right? 0.93

01:07:28.000 So I benefit from it.

01:07:29.000 We have a following because of it.

01:07:31.000 And I'm here to tell you your life will not improve the more time you spend on these apps.

01:07:34.000 And people say, oh, Charlie, I got it under control.

01:07:36.000 I'm like, okay, if you, people email me.

01:07:38.000 I say, prove it.

01:07:39.000 Screenshot your screen time for the last week and send it.

01:07:42.000 They never do.

01:07:42.000 Of course not.

01:07:43.000 It's like you didn't want to.

01:07:44.000 I'm kind of convicted by this conversation right now.

01:07:46.000 Yeah, well, and I'll say one other, I mean, I'm going to challenge you guys on one thing.

01:07:49.000 And Ellie, I don't know if you know this.

01:07:51.000 Last July, you know, I was traveled all across the country last year.

01:07:55.000 I was getting really stressed and just worn down, typical stuff that happens on the road.

01:07:58.000 And a pastor friend of mine said, Charlie, you got to take a Sabbath.

01:08:01.000 And I was like, oh, we're not bound by that commandment, whatever.

01:08:03.000 And he really convicted me.

01:08:04.000 So every Friday night, I take a Jewish Sabbath, turn off my phone Friday night to Saturday night.

01:08:09.000 The world cannot reach me and I get nothing from the world.

01:08:11.000 It will bless you infinitely.

01:08:13.000 Now, I'm not saying you're bound by the law as a Christian.

01:08:15.000 I'm not saying that that's something you have to do.

01:08:17.000 I'm saying it will make your life better.

01:08:18.000 It was important enough that God put it as one of the 10 commandments.

01:08:21.000 And I will say, there was debate in some theological circles that we are bound to it because it predated the law.

01:08:27.000 God rested after creation.

01:08:29.000 So I want you to think about that.

01:08:30.000 So Friday night to Saturday night, no one can reach me.

01:08:33.000 And I wake up, you know, I wake up on Saturday night, open up my phone, 600 text messages, 900, whatever, but it is the best 24 to 25 hours.

01:08:41.000 And if every young person took a legitimate Sabbath from Friday night to Saturday night, I guarantee you, anxiety would go down, depression would go down.

01:08:48.000 You'd actually spend time with people you care about.

01:08:50.000 Meaningful conversations would happen.

01:08:52.000 So I challenge you.

01:08:53.000 If you incorporate that in your life, there's no negative.

01:08:57.000 The only negative would possibly be if you had to contact someone in an emergency.

01:09:02.000 If it's an emergency, then fine, open up your phone.

01:09:04.000 That's a separate conversation.

01:09:05.000 Emergencies don't happen every week.

01:09:06.000 And if they do, you've got other problems, right?

01:09:08.000 So take the Sabbath, take it seriously. 0.99

01:09:11.000 And I think you should take a permanent Sabbath from TikTok.

01:09:13.000 But you and I could talk about that at a different time.

01:09:15.000 But I do want to say the fact you're creating on it, good for you.

01:09:18.000 I mean that.

01:09:19.000 As a conservative, we need creators on it.

01:09:21.000 You asked me a moral question about TikTok, which I think is from the pit of hell.

01:09:25.000 So thank you.

01:09:27.000 We got to get to the next question.

01:09:28.000 I'm proud of you.

01:09:28.000 Thank you, Mom.

01:09:33.000 Hi.

01:09:34.000 So I've seen so many people, including some of my professors, use the argument that like abortion is not outlawed by the Constitution.

01:09:40.000 I know conservatives really love the Constitution.

01:09:43.000 And so that's like a reason for legal abortions. 1.00

01:09:46.000 And so I just want to know how you would argue against that.

01:09:48.000 Allie told you.

01:09:49.000 Well, the Constitution is listing our rights.

01:09:53.000 It's not every single law that exists.

01:09:55.000 They're rights that cannot be violated.

01:09:58.000 And I would say that the right to life is fundamental to all the other rights.

01:10:02.000 If you don't have the right to life, then you don't get liberty or the pursuit of happiness either.

01:10:07.000 It is the most fundamental right.

01:10:08.000 There's really no good constitutional argument for it.

01:10:11.000 I really love when leftists say, you know, white men shouldn't be able to decide laws for women's bodies.

01:10:18.000 Do you know the race and gender makeup of the Supreme Court during Roe v. Wade?

01:10:22.000 Like those were nine white old men who also made that decision.

01:10:25.000 What they really mean is that they just want to be able to have an abortion and they don't want anyone to tell them otherwise.

01:10:31.000 Look, there's no good argument for abortion.

01:10:33.000 There's not a constitutional argument for it.

01:10:35.000 There's not a moral or ethical or theological or scientific argument to it.

01:10:39.000 It is killing a human being.

01:10:41.000 It is.

01:10:42.000 Human being starts at conception.

01:10:43.000 If you intentionally kill that person anytime after conception, it is murder.

01:10:47.000 End of story.

01:10:48.000 And I have never, not once.

01:10:50.000 You can challenge me on this all day long.

01:10:52.000 I've never heard a convincing argument for abortion.

01:10:56.000 I testified before Congress in 2019.

01:10:58.000 I had four other pro-abortion witnesses, including a pro-abortionist from St. Louis.

01:11:04.000 They're all talking about so-called reproductive justice and all of that stuff.

01:11:08.000 And I was intimidated when I first got in there because I'm like, wow, this is Congress. 0.99

01:11:12.000 I mean, I already knew that most Congress people are stupid, but still, you know, it's intimidating. 0.99

01:11:17.000 You think, okay, these people know what they're, I mean, they can. 1.00

01:11:20.000 at least act like they know what they're talking about.

01:11:22.000 And what I found is that the Democrats defending abortion have no better arguments for it than your random Twitter troll.

01:11:28.000 They do not know what they believe or why they believe it.

01:11:31.000 They don't have a convincing argument for it.

01:11:33.000 There is no convincing argument that I've ever heard for abortion.

01:11:37.000 I'll add to this.

01:11:38.000 So you should applaud that.

01:11:40.000 That's exactly right.

01:11:41.000 So I'll add this, though, which is one of the very simple moral principles of the Constitution is the question of when do you use government?

01:11:51.000 And the question was very simply answered in Federalist 51 by James Madison, which is if all men were angels, government wouldn't be necessary.

01:11:58.000 And if angels governed men, then we wouldn't need any rules.

01:12:00.000 We didn't need rulers.

01:12:01.000 And he's saying it's because of human nature that we need to intervene.

01:12:05.000 And one of the moral principles of the Constitution that they went to solve is that government in its best form uses force to protect those that can't protect themselves.

01:12:15.000 If the government isn't good for that, then there should be no government, right?

01:12:19.000 And so especially when the weak are tormented by the strong, that's an immoral practice.

01:12:26.000 And the Constitution went about to try to solve that, that the weak should not be able to be terrorized, tormented, tortured, or killed by the strong.

01:12:35.000 Abortion is, in real time, the strong using their power against the weak.

01:12:39.000 Even an abortionist would agree, by the way.

01:12:41.000 Even a planned parent advocate would say, you know what?

01:12:43.000 You're right.

01:12:44.000 That is someone that has power that is exercising against someone or something.

01:12:48.000 They don't even think it's a human, that does not have power.

01:12:51.000 And so the question is, what do we do about it?

01:12:52.000 Well, thankfully, the Declaration, which is not the Constitution, but I believe fits into the Constitution like a glove, it answers that question.

01:12:59.000 What do you do when something bad is happening?

01:13:01.000 You act.

01:13:03.000 That's what the Constitution goes about to solve.

01:13:05.000 And it says very clearly in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

01:13:08.000 I would argue it totally fits in.

01:13:10.000 You can't have a more perfect union if you have a million people that are weak, that can't defend themselves being tortured and tormented and killed by the strong.

01:13:17.000 That's not a more perfect union.

01:13:20.000 So I'd say not only does the Constitution allow abortion bans, I think it necessitates a ban on abortion.

01:13:27.000 In fact, if we are clear about what the Constitution seeks to solve, any free thinking person, every liberty-loving person should say, there is no way that we should be able to tolerate the culture of abortion in America while also having the United States Constitution. 0.54

01:13:40.000 So that's how I would answer that to your professor.

01:13:48.000 First of all, Charlie, I want to say thank you for coming.

01:13:50.000 I DM'd you like two years ago this day, like the height of BLM and COVID stuff.

01:13:55.000 And just, yeah, I just thank you for standing up for what's right.

01:13:58.000 And Allie, I appreciate and y'all both for just having a biblical view of everything right now.

01:14:02.000 And I just appreciate that.

01:14:04.000 I have a question about election fraud, but I kind of want to skip some insight.

01:14:08.000 I'm a football player here at Auburn, and I just want to give you some insight into like what was going down these last two years.

01:14:14.000 And I completely agree with you.

01:14:15.000 We got to stop this crap of just like waiting. 0.92

01:14:18.000 Like we're all dying. 0.98

01:14:19.000 Like every day, we're a step closer to death.

01:14:22.000 And I encourage everybody here that's like young and that like, you know, you're normal people and you want to like have a family, like have a lot of kids like they're saying, because we need more good people in this world.

01:14:30.000 So second point.

01:14:32.000 So as a player here, not many people know what was going on behind the scenes.

01:14:37.000 So our head coach, thank the Lord, was very anti-mandate and everything.

01:14:43.000 But basically, we like they tried to force every single player to get it.

01:14:47.000 They brought in the head state health official.

01:14:49.000 They brought in a cardiologist.

01:14:51.000 They brought in our athletic director, multiple people, literally telling us if we don't get it, then like, you know, we're not going to play this year.

01:14:58.000 And I know students from Alabama and Olmis were forced to get it.

01:15:02.000 And so I just want to like, I just want to say, like, we had a couple of guys.

01:15:06.000 I was one of them.

01:15:06.000 We got another one here tonight.

01:15:07.000 He stood up against it.

01:15:09.000 And so anyway.

01:15:14.000 I mean, we had about 30% of the team ended up getting vaccinated and standing up for what we believed in.

01:15:20.000 And the other 70 kind of caved because the training staff, everybody, you know, forced them to do it, basically forced them.

01:15:26.000 And we had to get tested like four times a week, whatever.

01:15:29.000 So what do you say to like, I don't know, just the tyranny of that, like, we're basically like a communist dictatorship inside our own facility.

01:15:37.000 If I said anything, if I didn't have my mask on perfectly, which I've tried to protest every day, I wear my gator under my chin until they force me to get it up.

01:15:44.000 What do you say to like somebody like me and other student athletes that are going through this that are trying to stand up for what's right, but the doctors and the experts, even though when we give them evidence and they can't respond to anything with anything credible and it convinces our team not to, but they force us anyway.

01:15:59.000 What do you say to like to that?

01:16:01.000 So what position do you play, by the way?

01:16:03.000 I play linebacker, but I'm mostly a special teams guy, a white guy on the SEC.

01:16:07.000 Yeah, okay.

01:16:15.000 Phenomenal.

01:16:16.000 Look, you're in a tough spot, but you deserve to be commended as an understatement.

01:16:22.000 I mean, you're fighting the machine here.

01:16:24.000 I mean, you're fighting, you know, a football hierarchy, you know, in the SEC and you're willing to do something about it.

01:16:31.000 Look, first and foremost, I've made this argument before.

01:16:33.000 I come under fire.

01:16:34.000 A college football athlete is under more health risk in fall training camp than from COVID.

01:16:41.000 I'm going to say that again.

01:16:42.000 A college football athlete is under more health risk the way that they work players now in fall training camp than from getting COVID.

01:16:49.000 From dehydration, from heart arrhythmia, whatever it might be.

01:16:53.000 I mean, you've been through an SEC fall training camp.

01:16:56.000 You could speak to that personally.

01:16:57.000 So why the hysteria?

01:16:58.000 Because we don't have enough courageous people.

01:17:01.000 And this shouldn't be your fight.

01:17:02.000 It really should be the donors and patrons and board members and alumni and legislators in Alabama that need to stand up for this.

01:17:09.000 It shouldn't be your fight.

01:17:10.000 It just shouldn't be.

01:17:11.000 So what do I say?

01:17:12.000 Here's what I can promise you is the choice you're making will make you a stronger person, a wiser person for the rest of your life.

01:17:21.000 But you're going to have opposition at every turn because you're up against a major machine.

01:17:26.000 You're up against a risk-averse machine that is really worried about whether or not you're getting COVID, but they won't dare say that they have an overdrinking problem in any of the communities around.

01:17:34.000 They're like, oh, no, can't talk about that, but COVID's a big issue.

01:17:38.000 But it takes a person, and you and your friend here are those two people.

01:17:41.000 That's what it takes.

01:17:42.000 Look, Samuel Adams had a phenomenal quotation.

01:17:45.000 He said, it doesn't take a majority to win over a population.

01:17:48.000 It takes a relentless minority igniting flames of liberty at every corner they go.

01:17:54.000 That's what it takes to win.

01:17:55.000 And you think about it, that was the American Revolution.

01:17:57.000 Everywhere they went, they were igniting flames of liberty, and that's you.

01:18:00.000 And boy, are you in a tough spot to do it, but you shouldn't be.

01:18:04.000 Why are we under this medical regime where we act as if our football players are 65 years old and obese and overweight and have diabetes?

01:18:15.000 I mean, like, I know you don't play much at Auburn, but man, you come to Arizona State, you'll start and be all, you'll be like all Pac-12, okay?

01:18:22.000 I mean, just looking at you is, and the way people worry that you get COVID, I'm much more worried that your freedom and liberty is being deteriorated than whether or not a 20 or 21 year old might catch something that they have a very, very low likelihood from getting.

01:18:35.000 So all I can say is keep fighting.

01:18:37.000 It's good for you.

01:18:38.000 It's good for your teammates.

01:18:39.000 It's good for your soul.

01:18:40.000 And it's good for your country.

01:18:41.000 God bless you, man.

01:18:42.000 mean that.

01:18:52.000 Hi, y'all.

01:18:53.000 So before I ask my question, I want to clarify a point that y'all mentioned earlier.

01:18:56.000 You said you don't believe in white privilege, correct?

01:18:59.000 Yeah, it's a myth.

01:19:00.000 It doesn't exist.

01:19:01.000 Okay.

01:19:02.000 So according to the Bureau of Prison Statistics from last month, 38.3% of our current inmate population is black.

01:19:10.000 But according to the 2020 census data, only 12.2 of our national population is black.

01:19:15.000 So if you don't believe in white privilege, how do you explain this disparity?

01:19:19.000 So why are they in jail?

01:19:21.000 It has been this way for years since the 90s.

01:19:25.000 Why do people go to jail?

01:19:27.000 Why are black people in jail at higher rates than white people?

01:19:30.000 That's the question, right? 0.99

01:19:31.000 Maybe because they commit more crimes than white people. 1.00

01:19:33.000 But that's not true. 0.99

01:19:35.000 It actually is.

01:19:36.000 They do. 0.98

01:19:37.000 So every independent analysis shows that blacks have committed a disproportionate amount of crime. 0.98

01:19:42.000 No one wants to say it out loud, but it's true. 0.98

01:19:45.000 In fact, in New York, 52% of murders are committed by blacks, 40 plus percent of arson, 60 plus percent of drug deals. 0.97

01:19:52.000 And so the question you should really be asking is what drives them to commit crimes? 0.97

01:19:56.000 That's the question, right?

01:19:58.000 The real question is, and maybe I can ask you, what percentage of blacks are raised with two parents in the home?

01:20:05.000 So actually, according to the Uniform Crime Report for 2019, black or African-American individuals committed only about 1 million crimes, while white people committed about 4 million.

01:20:14.000 Yes, so that's proportion.

01:20:16.000 Yeah, how about the proportion?

01:20:17.000 There's a lot more white people than black people in the United States.

01:20:19.000 It's a 60% white country and a 14% black country.

01:20:23.000 So you just proved my point.

01:20:26.000 You literally, so basically, that's a disproportionate amount of crime.

01:20:31.000 It is.

01:20:32.000 But listen, I want to say, look, you are coming up here and you're asking the question, and that's not easy to do, first and foremost, no matter what.

01:20:39.000 And I really appreciate your question in front of all these people.

01:20:42.000 It's hard.

01:20:43.000 So thank you for asking your question.

01:20:45.000 But let me point out what you just did, and you didn't know that you did it.

01:20:49.000 You switched from proportion to raw numbers.

01:20:52.000 And you did that to make a point that you thought you were making, but you weren't.

01:20:55.000 But look, your issue was that black Americans only make up 13% of the population, and yet they make up, I think you said, like 38% of the prison population.

01:21:05.000 And then you, yes, you switch to raw numbers because so black people only make up 13% of the population, but they commit 40% of all homicides and 60% of all violent crime. 1.00

01:21:17.000 Unfortunately, I don't think that's anything inherent in black Americans. 0.94

01:21:20.000 That's not what I'm saying.

01:21:22.000 That's just the fact.

01:21:23.000 And what Charlie is saying is, look, we've got to look at why that is.

01:21:26.000 So you're claiming that that disparity is inherent proof of discrimination.

01:21:30.000 So would you also say the fact that there are fewer Asians in jail means that than white people, that there is discrimination against white people?

01:21:41.000 No?

01:21:43.000 Disparity isn't proof of discrimination, is what I'm trying to say.

01:21:47.000 So let me just throw, and Allie's exactly right.

01:21:49.000 What percentage of blacks grew up with two parents in the home?

01:21:53.000 Yeah, less than 20%.

01:21:53.000 I don't know.

01:21:55.000 That's why there's so many blacks committing crimes and they're in jail. 1.00

01:21:58.000 It's that simple. 1.00

01:21:59.000 The death of the black family is why blacks are in jail higher than their population percentage. 0.99

01:22:04.000 It's that simple. 0.98

01:22:05.000 May I say your criminology degree?

01:22:07.000 Do you have one?

01:22:08.000 I'm sorry.

01:22:09.000 No, we've got to, we've got to, are you a biologist?

01:22:14.000 Let me ask you a question.

01:22:16.000 So do I need a criminology degree to be able to understand that 75% of blacks don't grow up with two parents?

01:22:26.000 To be well versed in it, I believe so.

01:22:28.000 Do you have one?

01:22:30.000 I don't, but I'm studying it.

01:22:31.000 Okay, but you studied.

01:22:31.000 Oh, she studied it.

01:22:33.000 But you did the same thing.

01:22:34.000 You looked at a statistic and he did the same thing.

01:22:37.000 You don't have a criminology degree taking either disease.

01:22:40.000 Hold on a second.

01:22:41.000 You're doing an argument from authority, okay?

01:22:42.000 That's a fallacy.

01:22:43.000 So, the laws of physics don't change whether or not you're a physicist, okay?

01:22:46.000 The law of thermodynamics doesn't change whether or not you take a course on it.

01:22:49.000 Answer the question: why do blacks have a broken family versus a nuclear family? 0.97

01:22:55.000 And does that translate to higher rates of crime?

01:22:57.000 Do you admit that? 0.82

01:22:59.000 Why is it that blacks don't have parents? 0.83

01:23:00.000 So, why? 0.95

01:23:01.000 Good question.

01:23:02.000 We subsidize single motherhood in this country to the federal government of the United States.

01:23:07.000 Great question.

01:23:09.000 Now, we're getting somewhere.

01:23:14.000 Back in the 1960s, we put forward a program where black women married the government and broke up with the men they were with. 0.98

01:23:22.000 Welfare state Lynn and Baines-Johnson, and that has contributed to blacks committing more crimes. 1.00

01:23:26.000 I believe institutionalized racism is your answer, but I don't believe I'm getting anything.

01:23:31.000 But no, just let me say, just let me point something out.

01:23:33.000 Did you know that it's not white Americans that have the lowest incarceration rate or the lowest rates of crime or the highest graduation rates or the highest median income?

01:23:42.000 It's not white Americans. 0.72

01:23:44.000 It's Asian Americans.

01:23:45.000 They have the highest median income.

01:23:46.000 They have the highest graduation rates.

01:23:48.000 They have the most degrees.

01:23:49.000 They have the lowest incarceration rates.

01:23:50.000 And guess what?

01:23:51.000 They also have the lowest single parenthood rates.

01:23:54.000 Okay?

01:23:54.000 So that is true across the board.

01:23:56.000 It's not just black Americans.

01:23:57.000 And unless you're willing to say that the reason why Asian Americans make more than white Americans or the reason why Asian Americans go to jail less than white Americans is because there is systemic institutional racism against white people in this country, then your argument against black people doesn't really work.

01:24:15.000 So let me ask you one thing.

01:24:16.000 It's an institutional racism.

01:24:17.000 I got a black friend right up here.

01:24:19.000 He's great.

01:24:21.000 He's great.

01:24:23.000 So let me ask you.

01:24:26.000 Let me ask you a question.

01:24:28.000 What can I do that he can't do?

01:24:33.000 What do you mean?

01:24:34.000 If institutional racism was real, what can I do that he can't do?

01:24:37.000 Well, you're less likely to get arrested.

01:24:40.000 I'm sorry.

01:24:41.000 If we both commit a crime, he's going to get arrested and I'm not.

01:24:45.000 He could.

01:24:47.000 Wait, we just went through this. 1.00

01:24:48.000 Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime in this country because of broken families. 1.00

01:24:52.000 So give me one law on the books. 1.00

01:24:54.000 You said it's institutional.

01:24:55.000 Give me a law anywhere that discriminates against blacks.

01:24:58.000 Give me one law anywhere in America.

01:25:00.000 You want current or past?

01:25:02.000 How about right now?

01:25:04.000 Well, the fact that crack cocaine is criminalized more than regular cocaine.

01:25:10.000 If I deal crack cocaine, I'm getting arrested regardless of skin color.

01:25:14.000 Give me a law. 0.99

01:25:16.000 Give me a law anywhere that allows white people to commit crimes and get away with it and blacks can't. 1.00

01:25:21.000 Does that law exist? 0.97

01:25:23.000 Not anymore.

01:25:25.000 Because there's no institutional racism in America.

01:25:27.000 The idea of institutional racism is laws on the books.

01:25:31.000 Just because it's not down on paper doesn't mean it's not real.

01:25:34.000 Okay, give us an example.

01:25:35.000 Not just a disparity.

01:25:37.000 Not just a disparity.

01:25:38.000 God isn't, you don't see God.

01:25:40.000 He's on paper.

01:25:41.000 Read the Bible.

01:25:44.000 I didn't mean it like that.

01:25:50.000 I'm getting nowhere with y'all, and y'all are not answering my question, so I'm going to end this QA right here.

01:25:54.000 Thank you for your time.

01:25:56.000 We actually did answer her questions, but I do appreciate, I really, even though she's got an attitude, she, I do appreciate her courage.

01:26:05.000 I do.

01:26:06.000 That is difficult.

01:26:07.000 That's difficult to be out here and ask a question, but you can also do it respectfully.

01:26:11.000 But what bothered me about her, I'm glad she was there, she wasn't being honest.

01:26:14.000 At least be honest, okay, and be willing to be corrected.

01:26:17.000 Well, that was a fun fireworks show to end our time together, right?

01:26:22.000 So, okay.

01:26:24.000 In closing, everybody, for the young women out there, yes, we do believe that women exist and men exist.

01:26:30.000 We have our young women's leadership summit.

01:26:31.000 Allie will be there.

01:26:32.000 I hope.

01:26:32.000 Yes, I will.

01:26:33.000 Good.

01:26:33.000 tpusa.com/slash ywls.

01:26:36.000 We have it down there.

01:26:37.000 For all of you guys in the southeast that live close by, come to Tampa in late July.

01:26:41.000 The biggest speakers at our student action summit.

01:26:43.000 And my final charge for you guys is this: fight for what you believe in.

01:26:47.000 If you are convicted by what we talked about tonight, you will be a happier and freer person.

01:26:52.000 The earlier in your life you take stands like our wonderful college football friends here.

01:26:56.000 That will make you a person that is more likely to fight for tyranny at every single corner.

01:27:01.000 We live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

01:27:04.000 Allie, any thoughts before we close?

01:27:06.000 Yeah, I just want to use those football players as inspiration for everyone.

01:27:09.000 I know that you might feel demoralized.

01:27:11.000 Maybe you all do in different circumstances.

01:27:13.000 You felt like you did the right thing.

01:27:14.000 You showed integrity.

01:27:15.000 You fought for things that other people wouldn't fight for.

01:27:17.000 And maybe it didn't result in the immediate conclusion that you wanted it to.

01:27:21.000 You have no idea the long-term effects of sowing seeds of courage right now.

01:27:27.000 It is never a bad idea to do the right courageous thing.

01:27:30.000 Maybe you won't see the result of it right now or tomorrow in a year from now, but you never know how God is going to use and reward that obedience.

01:27:37.000 So keep fighting, be courageous, and thank you so much.
