	Thank you guys for coming out tonight.
	Great to see all of you.
	And thank you to our wonderful Turning Point USA chapter leaders that are helping put all this on.
	Yeah, give it up for them.
	They're doing such a great job.
	They really are.
	It's great to be here at Auburn University.
	Or is it University of Auburn Auburn University?
	Is it Auburn University?
	Yeah, okay.
	You know, I grew up, I grew up an Auburn fan way back when you guys should have been the national champions.
	You're undefeated way back in like 2003, 2004.
	04, that's right.
	This was a BCS scam back then.
	I'll tell you what.
	So I've always had a soft spot for Auburn.
	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.
	So not allowed to say that.
	I'm going to get a ton of hate mail from Tuscaloosa, whatever.
	So we're in Auburn now.
	Allie, great to see you.
	Yeah, thanks for having me.
	My first time to Auburn too, and I'm super excited to be here.
	I went to Furman University, and we don't really have football.
	So I can say that I'm an Auburn fan and it can be genuine.
	I'm not a fan of any competitor.
	I'll say that.
Competing Against Ideologues 00:15:34
	All right.
	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.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	And you don't know what this is.
	I told you, it's going to take you by surprise.
	Okay.
	It's a question that has tripped up some of the most credentialed people in America recently.
	What is a woman?
	What is a woman?
	Okay, if I can answer this correctly, can I be on the Supreme Court?
	Yeah.
	Wait, first, are you a biologist?
	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.
	She actually must be a biologist.
	She's been able to tell the difference between men and women for like six months of her life.
	So I've learned from her.
	She's just so brilliant.
	What a woman is.
	There is a difference between men and women.
	It's not just a feeling.
	It's not just an identity.
	It's not just putting lipstick on.
	It's not even surgery.
	It's something that is genetic.
	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.
	It has to do with your chromosomes.
	Obviously, that manifests itself in your body.
	And that manifests itself in all different kinds of strengths and weaknesses and traits that we could talk about all day.
	But that's the distinctive.
	It's biological, it's scientific, it's immutable, and no political or cultural change can ever alter that.
	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?
	Let's applaud the definition of a woman.
	You know, that's that was well said.
	Yeah.
	What a screwed up country we live in right now.
	Where someone who's so, so Allie, help explain this to me.
	There's someone who's about to be on the Supreme Court.
	She's supposed to be super smart.
	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.
	It was everywhere in the last week and a half where she said, like, how dare you ask a question?
	I'm not a biologist.
	How do we get to a place where that's seemingly a confounding question?
	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.
	That was, yeah, that the little cackle when they don't know what to say.
	So she said, well, I'm not a biologist.
	And some people were kind of giving her credit for that, saying, well, at least she knows that it's rooted in biology.
	That's kind of a conservative answer.
	But that's really not what she was saying.
	That's actually kind of a trick question that you'll hear gender ideologues use.
	If you say, well, I know what a woman is or a man is because of chromosomes, because of science.
	They'll say, well, you're not a biologist.
	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.
	So to me, that actually revealed how radical she is on that.
	She's basically saying it's so unknowable for the common person that she can't tell you.
	Well, it's also just, I mean, I don't think she's very smart.
	I'll be very honest.
	Like, I mean, like, it's just be like, I am a woman.
	Like, excuse me, what kind of question is that?
	It's all you have to say.
	Instead of saying, like, I'm not a biologist.
	I don't have the right credentials to get into this.
	Like, look, I'm not a veterinarian.
	I know a dog when I see one.
	I'm not a meteorologist.
	I know when it's raining, right?
	Like, I'm not a biologist.
	I know a woman when I see one.
	And it's not that hard.
	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.
	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.
	I got booted off Twitter for talking about it, by the way, which was really great.
	Yeah.
	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.
	We can sort that out later.
	But yeah, look, so Twitter is kind of a propaganda machine of the regime, as we all know.
	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.
	You can't do that.
	It's all about the world.
	Well, that's not exactly true.
	He is still a biological male.
	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?
	And even though I did that, Twitter still kicked me off, right?
	And but I did something called dead naming.
	I don't know what dead naming is.
	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?
	So if you called Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay, like this sort of thing, right?
	You can't do that.
	So then Twitter basically comes to me and they say, you violated the policies.
	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.
	I refuse to hit the red button, which is delete.
	I refuse to bend a knee to Twitter and acknowledge I did something wrong when I didn't.
	If I did do something wrong, I would say that, but I refuse to apologize, even though I did nothing wrong.
	So I don't have access to my Twitter account.
	You know what the great thing about this is?
	Is people text me all the time to retweet things?
	And now I have a great excuse not to retweet them.
	Like, hey, Charlie, nope, sorry, can't locked out of Twitter.
	Can't do that.
	And it's like, because I always was looking for excuses.
	But Allie, in the last week, you know, we had the William Thomas thing, the Levine thing as a woman of the year.
	Like, why is all this happening at such an accelerated pace?
	Like, what's the driving force of this?
	Well, I do feel like the Biden administration kind of gives these ideologues cover.
	They feel like they have a defender in the White House.
	And I don't know if you guys saw today, but I guess today is the trans day of visibility.
	I had never heard of that before.
	I have never heard of that before.
	But Biden put out this video.
	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.
	And we can read between the lines there.
	We know he's not talking about a 65-year-old.
	We know that he's talking about children.
	He is talking about children not only being indoctrinated with a destructive ideology, but one that can actually lead to their physical harm.
	I mean, we're talking about children disrupting the natural puberty process.
	We're talking about chemical castration.
	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.
	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.
	So that to me is the scariest part of all of this.
	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.
	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.
	And that just, it just makes me super sad.
	I don't know how we got here, I guess.
	Well, yeah, I mean, it's an interesting moment, right?
	Because 95% of people think this is insane, right?
	95% of people think men can't become pregnant, right?
	Obviously.
	Yet 95% of people are afraid to talk about it.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	And you read the bill.
	I encourage you to read the bill.
	Seriously, if you think that it's a bad bill, read it and tell me why you think it's a bad bill.
	It's seven pages.
	It's seven pages.
	It's super simple, right?
	If you ever, you know, borrow a car loan or whatever, they're longer than this.
	Hopefully you read those documents.
	You know, probably not, but whatever, you know, when you take out student loans, it's a lot longer than this.
	Seven pages.
	And it's basically like parents should be able to get access to their kids' medical records if they try to transition or whatever.
	And that five, six, and seven-year-olds should not have instruction around sexual education or any of these kinds of sexual orientation matters.
	They should be left to the parents.
	Pretty simple, right?
	And so yet Disney comes out and they say we're going to pump $5 million into the human rights campaign.
	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.
	I can't remember all the, whatever it is, right?
	That 50% of their kids' movies are dedicated to all of that.
	And so I largely think we got here, Allie, is because decent people were afraid, even though they disagreed with this.
	I really believe that a lot of this is because we put tolerance, which is a, it's not, tolerance isn't a virtue.
	By the way, it isn't.
	We can go into that later.
	It's not.
	You shouldn't tolerate things that are evil.
	You shouldn't tolerate child abuse and you shouldn't tolerate gender dysphoria.
	Honestly, you shouldn't.
	And so, and it's amazing.
	2,500 years ago, Aristotle said tolerance and apathy are the two signs of a dying society.
	But here's the opportunity, though, right?
	The opportunity is Governor DeSantis, who's awesome, by the way.
	Governor DeSantis is just amazing.
	This is phenomenal.
	Has kind of put forward a roadmap where it's like, I don't care what you do.
	And this is significant is Disney's the number one employer in Florida.
	Disney runs the state of Florida in a lot of different ways.
	68,000 people work for Disney.
	And when they flex their muscle, usually that means that politicians respond.
	But DeSantis, like, you know what?
	I don't work for you, right?
	I work for the voters of Florida.
	And I work for the people that, you know, actually elected me and are part of the state.
	And so, Allie, I guess the question is, how do we respond to this, though?
	How do we navigate this?
	Has an everyday person talk about this without fear of cancellation or being called all these names?
	Or is it impossible?
	You just have to do it regardless of what they're going to call you.
	Well, I want to add something to what she said, tolerance and apathy being huge problems in our society.
	And one of the reasons, two of the reasons why we got to where we are.
	I would add one to that, and that is empathy.
	And I know this is going to sound super controversial because empathy sounds like an objectively positive characteristic that, of course, everyone should love.
	You hear a lot of Christians saying that everyone should be empathetic, but it can actually be a very dangerous virtue.
	We can have sympathy for someone.
	We can love someone, but loving someone is seeking their best interest.
	It's not just feeling their pain and affirming every choice that they make.
	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.
	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.
	And so it's actually a form of hate.
	So empathy can actually be a form of hate when it is leading to lies and destruction.
	So I just wanted to add that as one of the characteristics that is leading us to where we are.
	So I will not lie about the transgender issue.
	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.
	They're like, well, it really is the loving and the empathetic thing to do.
	Who cares if a man wants to call himself she?
	Actually, I saw a very prominent conservative activist do this just the other day and called Leah Thomas she.
	And look, if you give in on that, you have given in to the entire premise.
	If you call a man she, then why can't that man go into the girl's bathroom?
	Why can't that man swim against women?
	Why not?
	You're calling him a her.
	So you are acknowledging that he can identify as a woman.
	And I think we just have to stop there.
	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?
	Obviously.
	And for those of you that don't know the Thomas situation, it's someone who obviously has mental problems.
	I hope that Thomas finds a mental counselor and gets that sorted out.
	No, I mean that.
	That's not a joke, right?
	I mean, everyone has issues.
	That person's issue just happens to be put on public display.
	And Thomas's kind of coping mechanism is, I'm going to go like, you know, basically bully women, right?
	That's his coping mechanism.
	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.
	You know, I'm a woman now, wins the national championship, right?
	Um, and so look, you can have compassion.
	Empathy is actually not in the Bible.
	Uh, that's an interesting thing.
	It's 1920s new age thing.
	Um, so you're totally right, thought crime, because everyone says you must be empathetic in the Christian circle.
	Well, show me where it says that in the Bible.
	Doesn't uh there's no Greek translation for it, that doesn't exist.
	Um, we can talk about that if anyone's interested later in QA.
	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.
	So, if you tolerate cheating, that you know what, that's like saying, You know what?
	The person who burned down the Wendy's, they were having a tough day, or you know, they robbed the bank, they're poor.
	People on the left actually do say that's why I said it is because it's all the same arguments.
	It's like, hey, hey, hey, look, they're looting because of George Floyd.
	Like, no, they're not, they're looting because they're criminals, actually.
	They're not looting to remember George Floyd's memory, okay?
	And you can start to see, you do not, you do not allow immoral behavior because of the circumstance of the individual.
	Never is that okay, ever.
	And yet, we've done it in the circumstance.
	And so, yeah, I mean, I'd love your thoughts on this, Allie.
	I mean, I watched this with just disgust and horror, why the NCAA allowed this to happen.
	I'm sure we have some college athletes here.
	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.
	And the solution is really simple.
	You know, some we were at University of Arkansas yesterday, and someone asked me, Well, Charlie, what would you say?
	Is the solution very simple?
	Thomas can wear a bonnet or a dress or whatever, just compete against men.
	Just compete with the chromosomal structure you're born with.
	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.
	That's the whole point of men and women's sports.
	And so, what are your thoughts on it?
	My thoughts are that gender identities don't compete, bodies compete.
	So, that's the end of the story.
	Gender identities don't compete, bodies compete.
	I want to go back to one thing that you said.
	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.
	And that is the difference between social justice and justice.
	And that reminds me actually of something that Katanji Brown Jackson did.
	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.
	But I thought this record was especially egregious.
	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.
	And the federal guidelines recommended five to ten years.
	Prosecutors asked for two years.
	She sentenced him to three months.
Blaming Others for Outcomes 00:15:16
	And what she said, the reason was just sunny.
	I actually read this in the Washington Post, which was, of course, doing a puff piece about the pedophile.
	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.
	You were just sexually curious about your peers.
	Guys, the youngest victims on record were eight years old.
	So that is the difference between social justice, which is not just.
	She's looking at his race.
	She's looking at what he thinks is he was gay.
	So she's looking at, you know, his intersectionality points.
	Yeah.
	And her saying is saying, this is what justice looks like.
	That's not just.
	And that's terrifying that that person is going to be on our highest court.
	So walk through what justice properly administered is.
	Well, true justice and true equity.
	I mean, according to the Bible, and that's who created justice.
	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.
	And there are a lot of different characteristics that we can read in the Old Testament about what true justice looks like.
	But I think the greatest characteristic that we should focus on is impartiality.
	God actually says that you're not supposed to defer to the poor or to the great.
	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.
	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.
	And that leads to chaos and anarchy.
	And we're already seeing that in our major cities today.
	And look, the problem with justice, well, there really isn't a problem.
	The only problem you could probably is that you're going to have unequal outcomes.
	You just are.
	And that's a tough thing for some people to live with.
	Some people don't like unequal outcomes.
	They don't like it.
	They don't like the fact that some people are going to wake up earlier and take homework more seriously.
	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.
	So when you have justice that is hopefully administered blindly or as blindly as possible, you're going to have disparate outcomes.
	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.
	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.
	Ellie, why is that?
	Why does that inevitably fall apart rather quickly?
	Yeah, so Thomas Sulliv has been writing about this for decades.
	He wrote a book called Quest for Cosmic Justice, where he describes exactly what you're talking about.
	Social justice tries to get everyone to meet those equal outcomes.
	And in the social justice activist left-wing mind, people have unequal outcomes because of oppression.
	They would always say that any disparity in outcome is an automatic evidence of discrimination.
	And that's just not true.
	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.
	There are all kinds of factors that might play into why someone does better, someone does worse.
	That doesn't mean that there has never been injustice or systemic reason, whatever, but it's not an automatic evidence of injustice.
	Yeah, and I'll give you an example of this.
	So let's take Auburn, Alabama, and Bozeman, Montana.
	Okay.
	So the GDP of Auburn, Alabama, and Bozeman, Montana is lower than Seattle and New York.
	Why?
	Is it because in Bozeman and Auburn, people are racist?
	No.
	Is it because the people that live there?
	Nope.
	It's because one's in the mountains and one's inland.
	And New York and Seattle are near water.
	If you're near water, you're more likely to be rich.
	It's that simple.
	You're near ports of trade, more likely where people are moving.
	Ideas, you know, customs, geography matters a lot.
	So all of a sudden, you have an outcome that has nothing to do with racism.
	Oh, wow.
	Things can actually be attributed to other things.
	Yes.
	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.
	And so that's like a very simple way to view it.
	Imagine if I told you there are 3,000 prerequisites other than racism that determine whether or not you're going to be successful.
	I'll give you an example.
	How many of you are the firstborn in your family?
	Raise your hand.
	You have an unbelievable privilege.
	Seriously.
	Every study shows firstborn privilege.
	You get more attention, higher IQs, more likely to, no, you're less likely to go to prison.
	It's called firstborn privilege.
	You know what?
	Those of us who were born last, we're in a press class now.
	You are.
	That's right.
	And I could see a movement around this.
	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.
	Height privilege totally exists.
	Every study shows it.
	If you are 6'2 or taller, you'll get more jobs, more interviews.
	You'll be taken more seriously and walk in a room.
	It's a real thing.
	And by the way, beauty privilege is a real thing as well.
	No one wants to talk about it, but good-looking people get more jobs, more promotions, or taken more seriously.
	There's a lot of prerequisites that go into this.
	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.
	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.
	These prerequisites have nothing to do with the melanin content in your skin.
	However, we've reduced our entire conversation to say, oh, your skin color is the only type of privilege matter.
	By the way, it doesn't exist.
	We can get into that later.
	But we never talk about any of these other factors.
	Why?
	Because it actually de-radicalizes people.
	That's why.
	It actually causes people to think deeply about the, oh, wow, am I talking to my kid?
	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.
	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?
	So go ahead.
	It causes people to take personal responsibility too, which cuts right against the progressive ideology and what Democrats want.
	If they can get you, you know, it's so crazy.
	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.
	And yet they don't tell them what you're talking about.
	They always tell them or any group, any oppressed class that your problem is over there.
	Your problem is this other person.
	And if you elect me, if you just put me in power one more time, like I'm Maxine Waters.
	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.
	And it just never happens.
	And that's, Charlie is absolutely right.
	It de-radicalizes people when you realize that everyone is a product of choices.
	Now, I'm not saying that that means that there are no circumstances beyond your control.
	Of course, you can be born into hard circumstances.
	And so you could have a harder time getting somewhere than someone else.
	So it's absolutely true.
	But even the circumstances you were in were probably the product of someone else's choices.
	And so when you realize that and you realize, well, you can change the trajectory of your family's legacy.
	You can change the trajectory of your life by taking responsibility.
	That makes people less angry.
	It makes people less resentful.
	And therefore, it makes them less likely to vote Democrat.
	Yeah.
	And this is one of the reasons.
	That's exactly right.
	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.
	I'm going to be involved from every single day possible in that sort of choice.
	And look, I'll be very honest.
	It's tempting to want to blame other people.
	Of course.
	I mean, the politics of blaming other people.
	That goes back to the Garden of Eden, by the way.
	I never thought of that.
	Tell me why.
	Well, because when God came to Adam and said, you know, he asked them, why are you naked?
	Who told you that you were naked?
	What happened here?
	And yeah, and Adam said, it's the woman you gave me.
	And then Eve was like, oh, it's the snake.
	And God's like, snakes can't talk.
	What are you talking about?
	Just kidding.
	That's not how it goes.
	But blame is one of the first sins, not the very first sin, but it was one of the first sins.
	So anyway, it's just part of our sinful human nature.
	That's really, that's really wise.
	And you're exactly right.
	And so we have to reject that temptation, want to blame other people.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	And bind you, I guess we could spend two hours about this.
	Inflation, gas prices, open borders, you know, student loan debt, lockdowns, nonstop problems happening here.
	Still, with all of that, you still have the most opportunity of any people ever to live in the history of the world.
	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.
	And so, but it's tempting, right?
	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?
	Which is like, all right, who's got student loan debt?
	Everyone raised their hand.
	All right, we're going to forgive that.
	All right, who's ever been called something racist?
	Or you think something might have also been called racist?
	Hey, who's ever been unhappy?
	Who's not white?
	Okay, you're all going to get stuff, right?
	And then like you kind of go through this kind of process by the end of the pep rally, everyone's got something, right?
	Like, all right, vote for me.
	Thanks.
	I'll never fulfill any of those promises, but you're all fired up.
	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?
	But we believe that human beings should flourish and we want you to take responsibility.
	That's a much harder sell in a lot of different ways.
	Yeah, it is because it doesn't appeal to our simple human nature.
	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.
	It's also just easier to do that.
	And we all really like to complain.
	Like we like to talk about ourselves.
	We like to think that we are different than everyone.
	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.
	I'm not talking about the healthy individualism.
	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.
	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.
	Of course, we're going to have all 26 letters of the alphabet after LGBTQIA ⁇ eventually because everyone wants a piece of it.
	Everyone wants that piece of identity information.
	And then that's your currency, right?
	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.
	They pop up every single week.
	You're like, wow, if America was so racist, why do all these fake hate crimes keep on happening?
	Well, the reason is because that gets you a lot of attention really quickly.
	Like, why would Justice Smollett dedicate time to go fake a hate crime in downtown Chicago?
	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?
	Or like winning an Oscar.
	It's like you can become super famous immediately if something bad happens to you.
	And it was like the worst pulled off hate crime ever, fake hate crime.
	You kept the noose on them when the police came.
	The whole thing was bizarre.
	But you bring up a really important point, and there is a biblical story about this.
	So God delivers the chosen people out of Egypt.
	Moses leads them.
	They get into the wilderness.
	You know, they're there for a little while.
	Then he blows mana.
	He blows coil off course, mana from heaven.
	They have everything they need or want for nothing.
	And then after a little while, they start complaining.
	It's in our nature.
	They're like, who's this Moses guy?
	And like, why are we in the wilderness?
	It's like word for word.
	You guys could read it to Exodus.
	And basically they're like, take us back to Egypt, slavery, because at least in Egypt, we had meat.
	We ate better, even though we had no freedom.
	And this whole kind of taking responsibility in the desert thing, we're not a fan.
	So take us back to Egypt.
	And you think about it, and this is a provocative question.
	And I kind of come down more in the middle of this.
	I think it's a mixed bag.
	Do people want to be free?
	And I think some people do, but I don't think a majority of people want to be free.
	I don't.
	That was one of my big lessons from the Fauci virus.
	I used to think that.
	You know, I used to be someone who said everyone has a desire.
	Universally, everyone has a desire for freedom and everyone wants to be liberated.
	And I realized that no, freedom is not an instinct.
	It's a principle.
	And principles have to be learned and they have to be maintained and they have to be cultivated.
	And as a principle, liberty has not been cultivated in the United States, at least recently, for a plurality of Americans.
	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.
	Yeah.
	So when you have something traumatic happen, you guys know this in your family, right?
	When something, like when the rubber hits the road, you see who people really are, right?
	So the same is for a civilization, by the way.
	When something really traumatic happens, there's no more pretending, right?
	You see exactly who you are.
	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.
	Wow.
	It was a learning lesson for me, by the way.
	I thought it was the opposite.
	I did this whole podcast demanding that lockdowns end and like people are going to be marching in the streets.
	And it was like kind of a little bit here and a little bit there.
	And then we get into the summer and then the next year and people are just kind of okay with it.
	And so I think some people want to be free, but it's a value.
	Freedom is not natural.
	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.
	You can live in tyranny very comfortably, by the way.
	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.
	Most of Europe is trending that way, by the way.
	But to live in freedom, what does it require?
	Responsibility.
	It requires you to be alert.
	It requires you to look in the mirror and be like, that's actually the biggest cause of my problems.
	And that's hard for a civilization to do.
	In fact, it's almost inevitable to break apart.
	So I'm going to get to some questions in a second here.
	Allie, I just want to talk.
	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.
	Ooh, okay.
	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.
Taking Personal Responsibility 00:11:41
	So you're in, gosh, the past few years for you.
	Like, I want to apologize, not on behalf of us, because we were against the lockdowns.
	We were against the virtual learning.
	We were against you having to be home.
	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.
	And I hope you made the most of it.
	And I hope it didn't really ruin two years of your life.
	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.
	Look, we're two years closer to death, no matter what.
	Two years closer to death.
	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.
	So remember that right now.
	In a year from now, you'll be one year closer to death.
	Tomorrow, you will be one day closer to death.
	And we don't know how much time we have.
	And so we have to make the most of every second that we have.
	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.
	Never trust them.
	Realize that they do not have your best interest at heart.
	They don't love you.
	They're not going to care for you.
	They're not your moral arbiter.
	No matter what, they are not going to be the one that's there for you at the end of the day.
	Do the unpopular thing and try to get married and start a family.
	Yes, do that as quickly as you can.
	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.
	Yeah.
	And it's just not true.
	And that goes back to like how you see human beings.
	If you see human beings as a debit to society, then sure, having kids is irresponsible.
	But that's not how the Christian, and I don't think most conservatives see human beings like that.
	Human beings are a credit to the world.
	Human beings are a credit to society, not a debit.
	We're not actually taking away.
	So get married, have children, live a normal life.
	And you don't have to be an influencer to have influence.
	You don't have to be a celebrity to make a difference.
	You don't even have to be in the majority to make a difference.
	Do the next right thing in faith with excellence for the glory of God.
	Make your life as simple, as normal and as stable as you possibly can.
	And then have eight children and tell them to do the same thing.
	Look for happiness in the places that the world is telling you that it's not.
	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.
	It's not found there.
	Don't learn that the hard way.
	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.
	And then start a family, like I said, get married, work hard.
	We're all going to die.
	And that's it.
	But we believe we'll live forever.
	So that's true.
	So I'll add on that.
	I say be distrustful also of the corporate bureaucracy too, not just the government one.
	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.
	The funding of BLM, the Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, the major media companies.
	I just don't like big anymore.
	I don't like big companies.
	I don't like big pharma.
	I don't like big government.
	I don't like big media.
	I don't like some, actually most big churches.
	Separate conversation for a different time.
	I think there needs to be like a reemergence of the small, but the strong.
	It could be a big family, but it's relatively not big compared to what's happening in the country.
	You know what I mean by big.
	I mean, Disney, $250 billion, bureaucratic and monolithic and politically correct.
	And I think that there's a...
	It's driven by activism rather than meritocracy.
	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?
	It's not, it's more than just a union of big government and big corporations.
	It's just bigness.
	And they've been captured by these ideologues and they're going to have a lot of power for years to come.
	And so I would encourage as many young people as possible, start new stuff, start new businesses, start new ventures, and start families.
	You're exactly right, Ali.
	I mean, this is, I get, we get a lot of emails on our program, and I probably get 250 of these a week.
	Probably a month, not a week.
	That's, that's probably a month.
	But it's at least of men in their 30s and women in their 30s.
	Charlie, I can't find anyone.
	And I always respond the same way.
	Were you open to marrying in your early 20s?
	And 99% say no, I was focused on my career.
	Say, okay, well, best of luck.
	I wish you well.
	But if you're not prioritizing marriage when the good ones are available, then by definition.
	You know what you should do?
	You should reply to the guy and CC the girl.
	Yeah, I'm not.
	I just emailed you and was like, you're right.
	There's way too much liability involved.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	That's very true.
	You never know, exactly.
	I said, staying far away from that.
	But yeah, but I could give some advice to men.
	You could give us advice to women.
	Most men in America are grown infants.
	They got to get their life together.
	There's a massive overdrinking problem with young men in America.
	I don't know where this comes from.
	It's a massive pornography problem.
	Huge pornography problem.
	I just debated someone who was part of that.
	And you guys could check out that whole debate.
	It was a trans porn person, whatever that is.
	It was really, the whole thing was bizarre.
	No, I think it should be just outright banned by the government, by the way.
	Pornography should be banned at heart, almost impossible to access.
	And I've said that for a while.
	And you know what's so funny?
	You know what's so funny is someone says, Charlie, people will still get to it.
	I say, okay, then why does the pornography industry lobby against the ban?
	Because it would hurt their business model.
	No, no, it's not a matter of 100%.
	Okay.
	It's a matter of, can you get 10% less people consuming?
	20%, 30%.
	That would be a massive achievement.
	By the way, by that logic, you would have no laws.
	And you kind of think about it, maybe they do want no laws, except if you misgender somebody, which is like anarcho-tyranny.
	Yeah, they anarchic.
	Anarchy for the degeneracy, tyranny for the political correctness stuff.
	Separate lecture for a different time.
	Term that I love, anarcho-tyranny.
	But yeah, so for men out there, I just want to challenge you.
	There's a beautiful life ahead of you if you want to apply yourself for it.
	And it requires like being a man again.
	So what does that mean?
	That means being very intentional about boosting your testosterone levels.
	I'm not kidding, by the way.
	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.
	I'm not joking when I say this, probably.
	At all.
	And so, and the New York Times loses their mind when I say this.
	Toxic masculinity.
	Let me tell you, the reason that men are afraid to be men is because of the culture and all this sort of stuff.
	But men, you need to be strong to protect people that can't protect themselves.
	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.
	And that is a role that has been completely vanished in society.
	And so, look, I think this part of the world in particular is like dying for this message, right?
	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.
	So just this hyper-insane kind of regime that's being put forward.
	Yeah, the weakness.
	So I'll just say this to the men in particular.
	You need a lead and you need to be someone worth dating and marrying.
	Because a lot of women email my show and they say the men are addicted to alcohol.
	They have no drive.
	They have no purpose.
	They sleep until noon.
	They're playing video games all day long.
	They have no self-control.
	No self-control.
	By the way, self-control is a very, you know, very desirable quality.
	It's a fruit of the spirit.
	That's right.
	It's the last of the fruit of the spirit.
	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.
	And that right there, I think, could just improve the country dramatically.
	Allie, you could give advice to young women.
	I try to stay away from that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	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.
	Like, women are often told that our biggest problem is insecurity.
	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.
	And so, what is the message that young women here?
	Just love yourself, just focus on yourself more.
	Just talk about how pretty you are all the time, and you're perfect the way you are.
	You're enough the way you are.
	Look, we've been told that for the past 10 to 20 years, and guess what?
	Our depression rates, our suicide rates are higher than they've ever been.
	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?
	No, that's obviously not the solution to our problems.
	One of our problems, I think, is that we think about ourselves too much.
	We're focused on ourselves too much.
	We are too much thinking about our insecurities, our strengths, and our weaknesses, and our personality traits.
	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.
	And it's just not true.
	And let me just speak from a Christian, a theological perspective for a second.
	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.
	And whether you like it or not, we were all created by God.
	So, the self can't be both the problem and the solution.
	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.
	Your problem is not society, it's not the patriarchy, it's not capitalism, it's not fat phobia, it's you.
	We are our own problem, we are the problem, sin is the problem.
	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.
	That's what everyone is looking for, man or woman, right?
	Like, why am I here?
	Who am I?
	The only person who can answer that is the God who made you in his image.
	That's beautifully said, Ellie.
Florida's Leadership Shift 00:16:07
	That was terrific.
	It really was.
	Dinesh D'Souza has a real special movie coming out, everybody.
	In 2020, November 2020, Democrats were up to no good.
	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.
	But we did.
	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.
	2000 Mules is going to be a game changer.
	2000 Mules tells the story of the ones who tried to hijack a presidential election.
	You'll see actual video surveillance tape.
	You'll see how we track their cell phones to box after box after they got paid to carry out this illegal scheme.
	Watch the trailer for yourself.
	It's 2000mules.com and check your local listings and get your tickets today at 2000mules.com.
	And the premiere will be on May 2nd or May 4th.
	That's a limited release premiere.
	So go to 2000mules.com.
	That is 2000mules.com.
	I'm in the movie.
	It is a game changer.
	Check it out right now: 2000mules.com.
	That is 2000mules.com.
	All right, let's do some questions, everybody.
	And so we have a process to do that.
	And we'll get through as many as we possibly can.
	And again, these are questions, not a political speech with a question.
	Oh, hey guys, good to see you now.
	I can see everybody.
	As we are kind of filing there, we reserve the right to interrupt and do all that fun stuff.
	So, okay, let's kick it off right here.
	And one other thing, by the way, so this is a predominantly conservative audience, right?
	So if there's someone who has a contrarian viewpoint, a left-wing viewpoint, don't heckle them or mock them.
	Unlike the left, we're going to give them the respect that they don't give us.
	Okay?
	That's what we're going to do.
	All right.
	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.
	So just let them get it out and then we'll respond, you know?
	And so just give them that, give them that platform.
	We would ask that of them, even though that's not what we get.
	All right.
	Question.
	Hi, Charlie and Ali.
	Thank you so much for coming.
	Auburn really appreciates it.
	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.
	So what are true traditionalist conservatives?
	What should we be doing to prevent the new world order?
	Girl, you got it.
	You see things as they are.
	I love how you connected all that.
	So Charlie actually mentioned this earlier because it can feel super overwhelming.
	Like if you're not super familiar with the great reset, we won't get into all of that.
	Unfortunately, it's not a conspiracy theory.
	The World Economic Forum is a very powerful body and they wanted to use COVID as a great reset.
	Actually, they're loving this supply chain stuff.
	They're loving the high cost of fertilizer.
	So we can't depend on local farms and things like that.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	So we rely, instead of globalization, we move towards what Charlie said earlier, which is localization.
	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.
	Look, we don't know what's going to happen with inflation.
	We don't know what's going to happen with the supply chain and food shortages and things like that.
	We're going to have to start loving our neighbor in really tangible ways.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	That's my solution to it.
	That's exactly right.
	It could feel very intimidating when you see Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum do all these sorts of things.
	And so, yeah, I'm seeing a movement already.
	Homeschooling helps a lot.
	Growing your own food helps a lot.
	Being able to provide for your family outside of the supply chain disruptions.
	Being able to protect your family if things start to fall apart.
	Thank goodness we still have a Second Amendment in our country, and we need to take that very seriously.
	Not every country does.
	And so, look, I'm not a doomsday guy, nor is Allie, but I see the writing on the wall.
	So does she.
	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.
	They'll never fall apart.
	I think we're smarter than that.
	I think we know the cycle of history and the cycle of civilization.
	I hope it doesn't happen.
	I'm going to fight that it doesn't happen.
	But things can fall apart really quickly.
	As Ernest Hemingway said, things can happen gradually than suddenly.
	And next thing you know, all of a sudden, there'll be mass food shortages.
	And who are you going to go to for that?
	So the best thing you can do is to be able to say, I'm going to take responsibility for that, right?
	We're starting to see this kind of revival of self-government movement.
	And that's where churches can come into play, especially local churches and smaller churches, which I'm a big fan of in particular.
	And so, yeah, that would be my answer to that.
	But I believe that the great reset crowd, the World Economic Forum types, I think they're increasingly upset.
	In fact, I think they're anxious and paranoid because we are not accepting the garbage that they're putting forward.
	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.
	But some are kind of bizarre and some are really scary.
	America will no longer be the world's superpower.
	Western values will be brought to a breaking point.
	You'll own nothing and you'll be happy by 2030.
	You'll eat almost no meat.
	A billion people will be displaced as refugees because of climate change.
	You'll be going to Mars.
	And there's a couple others that I can't remember.
	First, people are going to be colonizing on Mars.
	There's a couple other that fossil fuels will be totally eradicated and eliminated.
	And these are their predictions by 2030.
	Now, who are these people?
	Heads of state, finance, celebrities, you name it.
	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.
	Inflation is a highway robber of normal middle class, muscular class Americans, is trying to be able to reset that.
	But we can't let them hijack the conversation or our own livelihoods.
	We have to take responsibility for our own lives.
	So thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	Thank y'all both so much for coming.
	This kind of goes back to what y'all were saying about how most Americans don't actually want freedom, but rather comfortability.
	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.
	I think people here kind of just are comfortable and they say, oh, it's a red state.
	Like nothing bad's going to happen.
	It'll just blow over.
	So I think it's only a matter of time.
	Like what hyper indoctrination is going on on the coast will immediately reach the middle of America in the South.
	So what do y'all think as conservative student body we can do to kind of stop this and pause it?
	Well, yeah, I mean, your instincts are right.
	I mean, look, Alabama is a phenomenal state.
	I love coming here.
	And you guys are a super conservative state for now.
	Things can change.
	They can change quickly.
	Just look at the education system, look at some of the influences that are happening.
	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.
	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.
	I'll let you guys sort out who actually those people in the state are and who isn't.
	I never go into a state and tell you how to run your politics.
	I think that's, I think it's wrong to do that.
	I can give you advice or takes, but you guys know it better.
	You live here.
	You know who actually is doing a good job.
	But yeah, look, this is something that the left is imperialistic.
	This is a very important point, is that they're not just comfortable that they have 99% support in downtown San Francisco.
	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.
	Like they're really upset about that.
	They're like someone right now in Dothan doesn't share our values.
	Every six seconds, someone defines a woman biologically.
	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.
	And this hasn't been as successful as I think they would like it to be.
	I think there's been a lot of good movements to push back against that.
	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.
	You never would have thought it happened in this state, right?
	And so, look, no state is off limits to these people at all.
	And this is one of the great stories.
	And I just want to focus in on what should success look like.
	I mean, you have to elevate courageous people when you see that.
	And Ron DeSantis, I mean, Florida is one of the few.
	It's so amazing.
	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.
	I think legislatively, it's more politically conservative than Alabama has been in the last year.
	And maybe you guys could disagree with that or not, but I think I look across the board.
	It passed more strong conservative bills.
	And yet, Alabama is way more conservative than Florida.
	The reason is why.
	How is that possible?
	Well, a couple of reasons.
	In Florida, because it's a 50-50 state, the left-wingers run as Democrats.
	So they don't have to go camouflage themselves in the Republican Party, where you see a lot of that here.
	That's kind of the benefit of living in a 50-50 state.
	And the other kind of part of that, though, is leadership.
	I'm a huge believer in leadership.
	And boy, is it rare.
	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.
	So look, your instincts are right.
	And my message to the people of Alabama is: look at Georgia.
	I mean, my goodness.
	I mean, some of you probably live in Georgia, by the way, or from Georgia.
	You came across just for this event.
	I mean, really, Georgia now has two left-wing senators and Senate's electors.
	I know we can get into all the other 2020 nonsense, but I think we all agree Georgia's changed a lot.
	Now, why did Georgia change?
	A lot of reasons.
	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.
	What example would that be?
	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?
	What a dumb idea.
	Now, okay, yeah, created all this wealth.
	So now you have super tall buildings in Buckhead.
	So you feel like you're living in Manhattan, great.
	And now you have nothing but left-wingers in Atlanta.
	So what do you get?
	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.
	That's basically the bargain, right?
	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?
	Which literally, I think he's a registered voter in Georgia, if I'm not mistaken.
	He spent so much time there.
	And so, yeah, this can happen quickly in Alabama.
	Yeah.
	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?
	He kind of stands alone.
	I got to be honest, though.
	So I had the honor of being in Tallahassee just a couple of days ago.
	I was just a couple days ago and I got to have dinner with him.
	And that was just the thing that struck me was his strength and his willingness.
	This is the thing.
	I guarantee you, this is what most Republican voters want their Republican elected officials to do is say, I don't care.
	I don't care what the media says.
	I don't care what Disney says.
	I don't care what those corporations say.
	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.
	That's too bad.
	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.
	Where progressives concentrate, the quality of life goes down because progressive policy is destroyed.
	They just do.
	That's the nature of them.
	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.
	So be the first person willing to stand up and take an unpopular stance, even when no one else is.
	I guarantee you that a lot of people around you feel the same way you do.
	When you raise your hand and you say, you know what, I know this is unpopular, but someone's got to say it.
	This is the right thing to do.
	This is the right thing to say.
	This is the truth.
	This is good.
	Whatever.
	That turns into a contagion.
	And other people feel that courage.
	We see that with Ron DeSantis.
	We see Republican governors say, oh, well, conservatives like Ron DeSantis, I'm going to do that too.
	I'm going to be for freedom.
	I'm going to open businesses up, whatever it is.
	Well, apply that to your own life in a small way, whether it's at school or in your communities.
	Stand up, do the courageous thing.
	Courage begets courage.
	Well said.
	Thank you for your question.
	Appreciate it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for coming out and welcome to the Better Alabama School.
	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?
	Or should we use what power we have left to try and retake the companies?
	So I think that you can do both.
	I mean, I happen to know that there are Christian conservatives who work inside Disney who have been trying to do that.
	Now it's just really difficult because conservative Christians are respectful and kind.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	But if you're willing to be that, I do think change can happen.
	You don't have to be in the majority to make a difference.
	At the same time, I am really glad companies like Daily Wire and other companies are building those alternatives.
	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.
	I don't think that's like a dereliction of duty or that you're giving up your responsibility.
	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.
Starting Your Own Business 00:02:15
	Yeah, I'll just comment on one part of it.
	I think Allie's spot on is we need more people to start more stuff.
	We need more entrepreneurs.
	There's a massive entrepreneur deficit.
	I'm going to say this respectfully.
	You don't learn entrepreneurship in college.
	You just don't.
	You don't learn much in college.
	Separate issue for a different time.
	But that's something else.
	But we need people to start stuff.
	You learn it by doing.
	And it takes risk.
	You have to embrace risk and it takes ambition.
	I'm sure everyone here has an idea for a business.
	Go do it.
	In fact, that idea probably might warrant you putting college on hold.
	I'm not kidding.
	You can always go back to college.
	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.
	I tell this to high school kids all the time.
	I decided to take a gap year.
	It's been a decade of a gap year.
	Actually, it's been a gap decade.
	And I might take another decade after it.
	College wasn't for me.
	Turning point USA came to life.
	It was a couple of really tough years to get it started.
	And here we are.
	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.
	The only thing preventing you is because you think you need the piece of paper first.
	Well, guess what?
	As soon as that piece of paper comes, the diploma, the chance of you starting that business goes down by like 90%.
	Every study shows that.
	He's like, oh, I got to do this.
	I got to do that.
	I got to go pay it off.
	So America, one of the reasons why America is the greatest nation ever is because we've always had a culture of entrepreneurship.
	And I'm afraid we're losing that.
	And so who are the people that should start the businesses?
	You.
	You're the ones that have nothing to lose, literally.
	You have no money to your name, so you might as well start something.
	I mean, it's not, you don't start the business when you're 45.
	Some do, but the rates of that are really low.
	And so I'm afraid we're losing that.
	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.
	Yeah, just one thing to add to that.
	That's also where we talk about community a lot.
	And I just think it's so important to talk about.
	That's also where community comes in.
	You're not going to be able to build the business or start the thing completely by yourself.
	I'm sure you had mentors.
	You had other people.
	You were bouncing ideas off.
	People who invested in you in more ways than one, who taught you things.
	We all need that.
	So get to know people in your community, get to know families locally, people in your church.
	I'm not just talking about people who are going to be able to financially support you.
	You never know what connections is going to lead you to the thing that you are actually called to do.
	So we need to get really good.
The TikTok Debate 00:09:29
	This generation is not really good at communication because we've been on our phones constantly.
	Get really good at communication.
	Get really good at building relationships.
	Get really good at looking adults in the eye and being able to communicate to them clearly.
	You will be so far ahead of your peers.
	Thank you for your question.
	Appreciate it.
	Thanks for being here.
	Hey, how's it going?
	So obviously technology is advancing very fast.
	With that comes a lot of new ideas, but also new moral conundrums and problems.
	How do you advocate doing the right thing when these ideas are so complex for the average person?
	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.
	Yeah, I won't hold that against you.
	Well, my question for that is, why do conservatives blame stuff like TikTok instead of trying to utilize these things?
	Look, that's a fair question.
	I think TikTok's mostly garbage, but I will.
	Look, I mean, it is a garbage platform.
	It just is.
	It is designed by neuroscientists to make you dumb and easy to control.
	Every single study shows that the whole model is to try to be hyper-addictive in a short video format.
	Does that mean conservatives should engage on it?
	Of course, it's the biggest app for anyone under 25.
	I'll tell you this right now.
	If you want any form of success in your life other than being a TikToker, get off TikTok.
	It's just you're not going to flourish by being on that application.
	The redeemable value of TikTok is negative.
	I'm not trying to offend you.
	I'm just being very honest, right?
	But I want more people like you that are not woke on there, hopefully enlightening people and pushing back against it.
	But it's a Chinese military operation.
	It's owned by the Chinese Communist Party to make American teenagers and American 20-year-olds super dumb and easy to control.
	They don't let their young people on it.
	They actually have, I'm not saying that.
	They ban TikTok for their young people.
	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.
	Oh, I think that's really good.
	So no, I mean, like, I was like, just so you know, I've lobbied for like two things in my life.
	I was lobbying Trump so hard to ban TikTok in America.
	Like, I was like, you've got to sign the executive order.
	Get out of these kids' phones.
	Depression will go down.
	Everything will go up.
	And I failed.
	I don't, I agree with that.
	I agree with that.
	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.
	But I do agree TikTok is terrible.
	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.
	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.
	I'm using a filter.
	Well, TikTok has a natural filter that does all of that without telling you.
	So the reason why you love how you look on TikTok is not because you suddenly look better than you do in the mirror.
	It's because it's a distortion of your image, which wow, that is so demonic.
	So just consider that.
	Yeah.
	And so, look, I'm just, I hate social media as it is.
	I have none of the apps on my phone.
	I'm super blessed to be able to have a team that, you know, publishes all of our stuff for me.
	I think TikTok, Twitter, which I'm not on anymore.
	It's awesome.
	Instagram and YouTube, Destroy Souls.
	We got along really well as human beings before these ridiculous applications.
	I say this as a total hypocrite, by the way.
	I have like 7 million followers on all these platforms.
	But is it a hypocrite or am I a subject matter expert to tell you how awful these are?
	I want you to think about that, right?
	So I benefit from it.
	We have a following because of it.
	And I'm here to tell you your life will not improve the more time you spend on these apps.
	And people say, oh, Charlie, I got it under control.
	I'm like, okay, if you, people email me.
	I say, prove it.
	Screenshot your screen time for the last week and send it.
	They never do.
	Of course not.
	It's like you didn't want to.
	I'm kind of convicted by this conversation right now.
	Yeah, well, and I'll say one other, I mean, I'm going to challenge you guys on one thing.
	And Ellie, I don't know if you know this.
	Last July, you know, I was traveled all across the country last year.
	I was getting really stressed and just worn down, typical stuff that happens on the road.
	And a pastor friend of mine said, Charlie, you got to take a Sabbath.
	And I was like, oh, we're not bound by that commandment, whatever.
	And he really convicted me.
	So every Friday night, I take a Jewish Sabbath, turn off my phone Friday night to Saturday night.
	The world cannot reach me and I get nothing from the world.
	It will bless you infinitely.
	Now, I'm not saying you're bound by the law as a Christian.
	I'm not saying that that's something you have to do.
	I'm saying it will make your life better.
	It was important enough that God put it as one of the 10 commandments.
	And I will say, there was debate in some theological circles that we are bound to it because it predated the law.
	God rested after creation.
	So I want you to think about that.
	So Friday night to Saturday night, no one can reach me.
	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.
	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.
	You'd actually spend time with people you care about.
	Meaningful conversations would happen.
	So I challenge you.
	If you incorporate that in your life, there's no negative.
	The only negative would possibly be if you had to contact someone in an emergency.
	If it's an emergency, then fine, open up your phone.
	That's a separate conversation.
	Emergencies don't happen every week.
	And if they do, you've got other problems, right?
	So take the Sabbath, take it seriously.
	And I think you should take a permanent Sabbath from TikTok.
	But you and I could talk about that at a different time.
	But I do want to say the fact you're creating on it, good for you.
	I mean that.
	As a conservative, we need creators on it.
	You asked me a moral question about TikTok, which I think is from the pit of hell.
	So thank you.
	We got to get to the next question.
	I'm proud of you.
	Thank you, Mom.
	Hi.
	So I've seen so many people, including some of my professors, use the argument that like abortion is not outlawed by the Constitution.
	I know conservatives really love the Constitution.
	And so that's like a reason for legal abortions.
	And so I just want to know how you would argue against that.
	Allie told you.
	Well, the Constitution is listing our rights.
	It's not every single law that exists.
	They're rights that cannot be violated.
	And I would say that the right to life is fundamental to all the other rights.
	If you don't have the right to life, then you don't get liberty or the pursuit of happiness either.
	It is the most fundamental right.
	There's really no good constitutional argument for it.
	I really love when leftists say, you know, white men shouldn't be able to decide laws for women's bodies.
	Do you know the race and gender makeup of the Supreme Court during Roe v. Wade?
	Like those were nine white old men who also made that decision.
	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.
	Look, there's no good argument for abortion.
	There's not a constitutional argument for it.
	There's not a moral or ethical or theological or scientific argument to it.
	It is killing a human being.
	It is.
	Human being starts at conception.
	If you intentionally kill that person anytime after conception, it is murder.
	End of story.
	And I have never, not once.
	You can challenge me on this all day long.
	I've never heard a convincing argument for abortion.
	I testified before Congress in 2019.
	I had four other pro-abortion witnesses, including a pro-abortionist from St. Louis.
	They're all talking about so-called reproductive justice and all of that stuff.
	And I was intimidated when I first got in there because I'm like, wow, this is Congress.
	I mean, I already knew that most Congress people are stupid, but still, you know, it's intimidating.
	You think, okay, these people know what they're, I mean, they can.
	at least act like they know what they're talking about.
	And what I found is that the Democrats defending abortion have no better arguments for it than your random Twitter troll.
	They do not know what they believe or why they believe it.
	They don't have a convincing argument for it.
	There is no convincing argument that I've ever heard for abortion.
	I'll add to this.
	So you should applaud that.
	That's exactly right.
	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?
	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.
	And if angels governed men, then we wouldn't need any rules.
	We didn't need rulers.
	And he's saying it's because of human nature that we need to intervene.
	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.
	If the government isn't good for that, then there should be no government, right?
	And so especially when the weak are tormented by the strong, that's an immoral practice.
	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.
	Abortion is, in real time, the strong using their power against the weak.
	Even an abortionist would agree, by the way.
	Even a planned parent advocate would say, you know what?
	You're right.
	That is someone that has power that is exercising against someone or something.
	They don't even think it's a human, that does not have power.
	And so the question is, what do we do about it?
	Well, thankfully, the Declaration, which is not the Constitution, but I believe fits into the Constitution like a glove, it answers that question.
	What do you do when something bad is happening?
	You act.
	That's what the Constitution goes about to solve.
	And it says very clearly in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
	I would argue it totally fits in.
	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.
	That's not a more perfect union.
	So I'd say not only does the Constitution allow abortion bans, I think it necessitates a ban on abortion.
	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.
Health and Forced Training 00:05:12
	So that's how I would answer that to your professor.
	First of all, Charlie, I want to say thank you for coming.
	I DM'd you like two years ago this day, like the height of BLM and COVID stuff.
	And just, yeah, I just thank you for standing up for what's right.
	And Allie, I appreciate and y'all both for just having a biblical view of everything right now.
	And I just appreciate that.
	I have a question about election fraud, but I kind of want to skip some insight.
	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.
	And I completely agree with you.
	We got to stop this crap of just like waiting.
	Like we're all dying.
	Like every day, we're a step closer to death.
	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.
	So second point.
	So as a player here, not many people know what was going on behind the scenes.
	So our head coach, thank the Lord, was very anti-mandate and everything.
	But basically, we like they tried to force every single player to get it.
	They brought in the head state health official.
	They brought in a cardiologist.
	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.
	And I know students from Alabama and Olmis were forced to get it.
	And so I just want to like, I just want to say, like, we had a couple of guys.
	I was one of them.
	We got another one here tonight.
	He stood up against it.
	And so anyway.
	I mean, we had about 30% of the team ended up getting vaccinated and standing up for what we believed in.
	And the other 70 kind of caved because the training staff, everybody, you know, forced them to do it, basically forced them.
	And we had to get tested like four times a week, whatever.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	What do you say to like to that?
	So what position do you play, by the way?
	I play linebacker, but I'm mostly a special teams guy, a white guy on the SEC.
	Yeah, okay.
	Phenomenal.
	Look, you're in a tough spot, but you deserve to be commended as an understatement.
	I mean, you're fighting the machine here.
	I mean, you're fighting, you know, a football hierarchy, you know, in the SEC and you're willing to do something about it.
	Look, first and foremost, I've made this argument before.
	I come under fire.
	A college football athlete is under more health risk in fall training camp than from COVID.
	I'm going to say that again.
	A college football athlete is under more health risk the way that they work players now in fall training camp than from getting COVID.
	From dehydration, from heart arrhythmia, whatever it might be.
	I mean, you've been through an SEC fall training camp.
	You could speak to that personally.
	So why the hysteria?
	Because we don't have enough courageous people.
	And this shouldn't be your fight.
	It really should be the donors and patrons and board members and alumni and legislators in Alabama that need to stand up for this.
	It shouldn't be your fight.
	It just shouldn't be.
	So what do I say?
	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.
	But you're going to have opposition at every turn because you're up against a major machine.
	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.
	They're like, oh, no, can't talk about that, but COVID's a big issue.
	But it takes a person, and you and your friend here are those two people.
	That's what it takes.
	Look, Samuel Adams had a phenomenal quotation.
	He said, it doesn't take a majority to win over a population.
	It takes a relentless minority igniting flames of liberty at every corner they go.
	That's what it takes to win.
	And you think about it, that was the American Revolution.
	Everywhere they went, they were igniting flames of liberty, and that's you.
	And boy, are you in a tough spot to do it, but you shouldn't be.
	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?
	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?
	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.
	So all I can say is keep fighting.
	It's good for you.
	It's good for your teammates.
	It's good for your soul.
	And it's good for your country.
	God bless you, man.
	mean that.
	Hi, y'all.
Examining Institutional Racism 00:06:57
	So before I ask my question, I want to clarify a point that y'all mentioned earlier.
	You said you don't believe in white privilege, correct?
	Yeah, it's a myth.
	It doesn't exist.
	Okay.
	So according to the Bureau of Prison Statistics from last month, 38.3% of our current inmate population is black.
	But according to the 2020 census data, only 12.2 of our national population is black.
	So if you don't believe in white privilege, how do you explain this disparity?
	So why are they in jail?
	It has been this way for years since the 90s.
	Why do people go to jail?
	Why are black people in jail at higher rates than white people?
	That's the question, right?
	Maybe because they commit more crimes than white people.
	But that's not true.
	It actually is.
	They do.
	So every independent analysis shows that blacks have committed a disproportionate amount of crime.
	No one wants to say it out loud, but it's true.
	In fact, in New York, 52% of murders are committed by blacks, 40 plus percent of arson, 60 plus percent of drug deals.
	And so the question you should really be asking is what drives them to commit crimes?
	That's the question, right?
	The real question is, and maybe I can ask you, what percentage of blacks are raised with two parents in the home?
	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.
	Yes, so that's proportion.
	Yeah, how about the proportion?
	There's a lot more white people than black people in the United States.
	It's a 60% white country and a 14% black country.
	So you just proved my point.
	You literally, so basically, that's a disproportionate amount of crime.
	It is.
	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.
	And I really appreciate your question in front of all these people.
	It's hard.
	So thank you for asking your question.
	But let me point out what you just did, and you didn't know that you did it.
	You switched from proportion to raw numbers.
	And you did that to make a point that you thought you were making, but you weren't.
	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.
	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.
	Unfortunately, I don't think that's anything inherent in black Americans.
	That's not what I'm saying.
	That's just the fact.
	And what Charlie is saying is, look, we've got to look at why that is.
	So you're claiming that that disparity is inherent proof of discrimination.
	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?
	No?
	Disparity isn't proof of discrimination, is what I'm trying to say.
	So let me just throw, and Allie's exactly right.
	What percentage of blacks grew up with two parents in the home?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, less than 20%.
	That's why there's so many blacks committing crimes and they're in jail.
	It's that simple.
	The death of the black family is why blacks are in jail higher than their population percentage.
	It's that simple.
	May I say your criminology degree?
	Do you have one?
	I'm sorry.
	No, we've got to, we've got to, are you a biologist?
	Let me ask you a question.
	So do I need a criminology degree to be able to understand that 75% of blacks don't grow up with two parents?
	To be well versed in it, I believe so.
	Do you have one?
	I don't, but I'm studying it.
	Okay, but you studied.
	Oh, she studied it.
	But you did the same thing.
	You looked at a statistic and he did the same thing.
	You don't have a criminology degree taking either disease.
	Hold on a second.
	You're doing an argument from authority, okay?
	That's a fallacy.
	So, the laws of physics don't change whether or not you're a physicist, okay?
	The law of thermodynamics doesn't change whether or not you take a course on it.
	Answer the question: why do blacks have a broken family versus a nuclear family?
	And does that translate to higher rates of crime?
	Do you admit that?
	Why is it that blacks don't have parents?
	So, why?
	Good question.
	We subsidize single motherhood in this country to the federal government of the United States.
	Great question.
	Now, we're getting somewhere.
	Back in the 1960s, we put forward a program where black women married the government and broke up with the men they were with.
	Welfare state Lynn and Baines-Johnson, and that has contributed to blacks committing more crimes.
	I believe institutionalized racism is your answer, but I don't believe I'm getting anything.
	But no, just let me say, just let me point something out.
	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?
	It's not white Americans.
	It's Asian Americans.
	They have the highest median income.
	They have the highest graduation rates.
	They have the most degrees.
	They have the lowest incarceration rates.
	And guess what?
	They also have the lowest single parenthood rates.
	Okay?
	So that is true across the board.
	It's not just black Americans.
	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.
	So let me ask you one thing.
	It's an institutional racism.
	I got a black friend right up here.
	He's great.
	He's great.
	So let me ask you.
	Let me ask you a question.
	What can I do that he can't do?
	What do you mean?
	If institutional racism was real, what can I do that he can't do?
	Well, you're less likely to get arrested.
	I'm sorry.
	If we both commit a crime, he's going to get arrested and I'm not.
	He could.
	Wait, we just went through this.
	Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime in this country because of broken families.
	So give me one law on the books.
	You said it's institutional.
	Give me a law anywhere that discriminates against blacks.
	Give me one law anywhere in America.
	You want current or past?
	How about right now?
	Well, the fact that crack cocaine is criminalized more than regular cocaine.
	If I deal crack cocaine, I'm getting arrested regardless of skin color.
	Give me a law.
	Give me a law anywhere that allows white people to commit crimes and get away with it and blacks can't.
	Does that law exist?
	Not anymore.
	Because there's no institutional racism in America.
	The idea of institutional racism is laws on the books.
	Just because it's not down on paper doesn't mean it's not real.
	Okay, give us an example.
	Not just a disparity.
	Not just a disparity.
	God isn't, you don't see God.
	He's on paper.
	Read the Bible.
	I didn't mean it like that.
Final Words of Encouragement 00:02:13
	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.
	Thank you for your time.
	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.
	I do.
	That is difficult.
	That's difficult to be out here and ask a question, but you can also do it respectfully.
	But what bothered me about her, I'm glad she was there, she wasn't being honest.
	At least be honest, okay, and be willing to be corrected.
	Well, that was a fun fireworks show to end our time together, right?
	So, okay.
	In closing, everybody, for the young women out there, yes, we do believe that women exist and men exist.
	We have our young women's leadership summit.
	Allie will be there.
	I hope.
	Yes, I will.
	Good.
	tpusa.com/slash ywls.
	We have it down there.
	For all of you guys in the southeast that live close by, come to Tampa in late July.
	The biggest speakers at our student action summit.
	And my final charge for you guys is this: fight for what you believe in.
	If you are convicted by what we talked about tonight, you will be a happier and freer person.
	The earlier in your life you take stands like our wonderful college football friends here.
	That will make you a person that is more likely to fight for tyranny at every single corner.
	We live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
	Allie, any thoughts before we close?
	Yeah, I just want to use those football players as inspiration for everyone.
	I know that you might feel demoralized.
	Maybe you all do in different circumstances.
	You felt like you did the right thing.
	You showed integrity.
	You fought for things that other people wouldn't fight for.
	And maybe it didn't result in the immediate conclusion that you wanted it to.
	You have no idea the long-term effects of sowing seeds of courage right now.
	It is never a bad idea to do the right courageous thing.
	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.
	So keep fighting, be courageous, and thank you so much.
	Subscribe to both our podcasts.
	I'm going to say this.
	I'm going to get in so much trouble.
	War Eagle.
	God bless you guys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
