We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Hello, everybody. Honored to be here. Thank you so much, Frank. Great people, great leadership, and congratulations on a great convention. I think this is probably the third biggest gathering of people post lockdown in the entire world. So congratulations for that. The first would be the President's rally that he had. The second would have been the event that we had for him in Phoenix a couple days ago and the third here. So I've done 66% of the biggest events in the world post lockdown. So I'm very honored to be here tonight. Congratulations on all the passages of this convention. So now my tone's going to be a little bit different tonight than it was yesterday because now we have to get very serious. Because if you're like me, you feel like you're losing your country and it's time we're very honest about that. So congratulations. And let's just be honest, Trump's going to win this state. You're going to probably. That's great. Terrific. Trump's going to win this state. You're probably going to have a Republican senator. Great. We got that out of the way. Right. So. But if that's the extent of what all of us take away from this weekend, we will not be doing what we should be doing for our country, because having Wyoming deliver three electoral votes is good and important and all that, making sure we win state and local races is terrific. But my goodness, is there a problem happening in our country right now? And let's talk about it. So in just the last couple weeks, we've probably gone back 30 years in cultural digression. We are seeing the greatest cancellation of history, the greatest targeting of dissenting voices, the crackdown on free speech, the misrepresentation of American values that we've probably ever seen in history. Never before in my experience, at least in my, say, analysis of American history. And Dennis Prager, the great Dennis Prager agrees with me, who we hosted at University of Wyoming, Turning Point usa and boy, was that a circus. My goodness. I'll tell you about that in a minute. Never before in American history have we seen people that work at their profession be forced to take a knee because of the color of their skin. And if they don't, they might be fired. I get hundreds of messages every single day from young people that are being removed from jobs, having to get kicked out of college, kicked out of school, bullied on social media, getting death threats because they support the president, because they say Black Lives Matter, the organization is doing incredible damage to our country, racially and otherwise, that they have incredible insidious aims to divide us, to not actually bring our country together, that it is a racist movement that is not about healing any sort of racial wounds we have in our country, instead trying to create new ones. And to be perfectly honest with you, now that we are here at a Republican convention and I'm the closing speaker, my goodness, where are the Republicans, everybody? Where is our party right now? We are, it is not all, it's not all gems and roses out there. And I'll tell you, there is a cultural crisis happening right now, right now, tonight, they have voted to rename John Wayne Airport in Orange county because they say he's a racist. They're taking down statues, Abraham Lincoln in downtown Boston. They're taking down a statue of George Washington and not replacing it. In Portland, Oregon. They're leading the statue of Vladimir Lenin, Cesar Chavez and all the other interests, let's just say beyond horrific individuals in our country, they're teaching our generation that we're racist, bigoted, homophobic, backwards country through and through. And to be perfectly honest, you, most of our elected Republicans are talking about. I don't know what they're talking about. We're in the midst of one of the most important cultural defining moments where I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this. If we do not take a stand now like we did during the Brett Kavanaugh, we will not have Brett Kavanaugh fight. We will not have a country in five years. It's just that simple. This is not about a policy debate. This is not about shuffling papers on a committee. This is about whether or not we're going to have a country in a couple of years. Because at the rate that they're at right now, they are going around making people on the color of their skin take a knee for something they didn't do. They are going around on the streets of New York with reckless abandon and looting and rioting and burning down the core cultural institutions that we care about so much. Removing a statue of Theodore Roosevelt outside of the Museum of Natural History, removing the statue of Christopher Columbus from the state Capitol in California that's been there for over 100 years. And the lack of backlash and just the fleeting to the hills has been, I think, one of the most cowardice moves I have ever seen in my short experience in the conservative movement. Seriously. And it's not enough to offer press releases. This is not a policy debate anymore. This is not high taxes or low taxes. It's not about whether or not we're going to have good judges. All that stuff is incredibly important. If you have a country, it's wonderful. If you have a country and people say, Charlie, you're being hyperbolic. You're being over exaggerative. Oh, really? Tell me right now why the Sacramento Kings announcer got fired who's in there for 30 years because he said, quote, all lives matter gets fired from his position. Is that a country that you want to live in is a country. When corporate America starts to fund an organization, Black Lives Matter, which again, the statement is of course true, Black lives matter. But all lives matter. And no one should lose their job or be kicked out of their profession for saying something that is true. No one should. And so you go to their website, encourage you to do that. It says, quote, we exist to disrupt and destroy the western prescribed nuclear family, abolish prisons, abolish police, legalize sex work. They want more abortions. They say that anyone who dares get in the way in the pursuit of life, that they somehow are racist. Well, I'll tell you what, you know, 400,000 black individuals are terminated in the womb every single year. Despite the Black community being 14% of the US population, 6% are women and half of that are infant bearing age. 3% of the population is 48% of all the abortions. If you see a black woman who is pregnant in downtown New York City, she, she's more likely going to the abortion clinic than the pregnancy delivery room. This is one of the great moral injustices in our country. And I was just enlightened today that somehow it was impossible to pass a Born Alive bill in the state of Wyoming. This is a disgrace that in our state you cannot get a Born Alive bill passed. It is an absolute moral outrage that that bill was not signed into law in this. And people say, well, Charlie, why, why are we losing our country? Why are we losing our country? It's because we control 31 governorships. We have a majority in the Senate, and God bless Trump, because I feel like it's Trump versus the world, don't you? And we're acting like it's all roses and peaches, folks. It's wonderful because we got all the committees. Don't you understand? We don't have a country to have a committee in. If this continues, they're going to keep down ripping our history. They're teaching our kids to hate our country. You know, my generation, a majority of my generation, thinks that America's a racist, bigoted, homophobic, backwards, colonialist country that never should have existed in the first place. How are you supposed to even govern a country like that? It's immaterial if you have good judges or high taxes or low taxes, I'm saying that's important. But my goodness, this is about the soul of our country, isn't it? This is about whether or not our kids are going to love America again. And so I encourage this is. This is a deeper and broader. I want to explore this tonight of what we can do. We're going to do that together and we're going to come to some very serious and specific and concrete Action steps. Because I'm going to get you revved up and then I'm going to tell you exactly what to do, because I'm not just going to get you revved up and then walk off stage and you're like, well, I got really angry and mad and we clapped and complained a lot, but that young kid who we might never see again, but he talks really fast, I don't know what the heck I'm going to do. No, no, I'm actually going to give you something to do and, and we're gonna talk about it, then we're gonna do it. Okay? That's what we're gonna do. And so the first thing is this, is that if the most important thing in your life is losing reelection, then you shouldn't have gotten in politics in the first place. The pursuit of truth is the most important thing any human being can do. Standing for principle, clarity, conviction and courage. And my goodness, this is a beautiful state. I love visiting here. It's a state that works as a state with great people and moral people. It's the most conservative state in the country. And if there's any state that can send people to D.C. to fight for our generation, my goodness, would this be the state? Right? If there's a moment when, and I'm sure all of you feel this, and if you've been watching Tucker Carlson recently, he's exactly spot on, because we. I'll give you an example. He's. There is this. This absolute fool, Bubba Wallace, the NASCAR driver, and he finds a garage door opener and he thinks it's a noose. And he tells nascar, I don't know if you saw this story. It's absolutely outrageous, right? And so in response, we go send 15 FBI agents to go investigate this thing. And every single person in the Republican establishment is like, well, this must be true. Blah, blah, blah. I mean, lest we forget Jussie Smollett, right? And. And 15 FBI agents, I mean, that's like twice the size of the biggest Joe Biden rally that we have to date, right? I mean, it's an extraordinary amount of people. And of course, they discover, because they brought in a small platoon to go investigate it, that it was just a garage door opener and it wasn't a noose. And all this. And I asked myself, where in God's green earth were the 15 FBI agents that were defending our monuments from being destroyed in our American cities? Where were the 15 FBI agents that we're going to go arrest antifa from causing domestic terrorism in our country? And and the answer is this, is that the priorities right now are about if. And I've done a lot of thinking about this, and I've spent a lot of time with these people in their offices for the last couple years. And I can say this with no reservation. It comes down to a lot of Republicans are afraid that you're going to be called mean names, that they're going to call you things that are untrue. Guess what? They're going to call you those names anyway, so. So you might as well fight for the country while you still have it. They're going to call you a fascist, they're going to call you intolerant, they're going to call you these things, so you might as well fight no matter what, because they will never. You will never earn their respect. And so people say, well, Charlie, my goodness, we got to learn to get along with the left. We have to really learn to compromise. I'm saying, hold on a second. Hold on a second. I say, you want me to compromise? Ilhan Omar. This is why you want me to compromise with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. See, isn't it interesting? Every time that Republicans compromise, we're compromising in their direction. Every time we compromise, it's like, we should only borrow a couple trillion dollars this time. Every single time we compromise, it's like, we'll only sort of nationalize American health care. Every time we compromise, it's like, you could take away these guns, but not these guns. Every time we compromise, you're like, yeah, Planned Parenthood can get $440 million instead of $500 million this year here. Every time we compromise, it's like, yeah, you can get this, okay, justice instead of a great conservative justice. Can you name one time the Democrats have ever compromised in our position? Can you name one time they've ever said, you know what? It might be a good idea if we sometimes start working with Democrats. They want pathological, fundamental takeover of our country. And so people say, well, Charlie, I mean, you're really trying to. You're dividing the country. I said, hold on a second. We're already divided. And it's very, very simple. You love the country or you don't love the country. And that, by the way, I happy to live in those dividing loans. It's that simple. It's either you're grateful to live in America or you're ungrateful that you live in America. And if that means that you're dividing the country, well, maybe that's a division that needs to happen. And this whole thing is like, well, Charlie, we just need to come together as a country. I completely agree. How about this? If we have a country right now, that American flag is going to be kneeled by overpaid, spoiled brat athletes that don't know what the hell they're talking about. Excuse my lang. I mean, they are going to be kneeling this upcoming season. J.J. watt, Baker Mayfield, these black athletes that have it unbelievably well, thanks to the opportunities afforded them in this country, they're going to be nailing saying that America's a racist, bigoted, homophobic country. Now, it's a very important lesson. People say, well, Charlie, what can I do? And some of the members of the US Senate, I call and I text and I call and I text and I don't get calls back anymore. But so what? Politicians, they just whatever. I care about my country, I care about the people. Politicians can go in the kingdom of Washington D.C. and keep their lobbyists happy. But I'll tell you what, the people, how you people say, how do I fight? What do I do? If you allow a lie to be spoken without a truth cross examining it, you are complicit in the lie. It is that simple. So people say, well, what is this? Every single time they go on tv, every single time that they say that America's backwards and racist and awful, we say, no, we're the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world. We're a generous country, a benevolent country. We're a creative country. We're a forward thinking country. You do not give an inch on this. They say, oh, we're going to defund the police. And what do we do? We put forth a police reform bill that looks like it was authored by Nancy Pelosi in the United States Congress. It's like, well, we are constantly playing on their terrain. Here's an interesting point. We do well. We win when we play offense. When Republicans play defense, we lose our country. Brett Kavanaugh is a great example. Brett Kavanaugh, the most united we've ever seen the party. In fact, Lindsey Graham like woke up and had like a pretty amazing moment, right? I've never seen it like Lindsey Graham said. I mean, it was just, it's like, wow, I never knew you had that kind of venom in you. Susan Collins comes up and gives this great speech and I thought, wow, we know how to fight. We can fight. Where in the heck has that been recently? And so here's the first thing, here's what ended up happening. We have Run to the hills. The last couple weeks, it's just true. We've run to the hills. Donald Trump is fighting basically alone. And bad ideas have now metastasized in America quicker than we could ever imagine. Black Lives Matter. The organization is more popular than the Pope. 68% of Americans approve of them. This is what happens when you don't fight. Lies is. All of a sudden they become widely held beliefs. See, we as conservatives, we just think, oh, truth will eventually win. Well, of course it will. And those of us that are Christians know that the ultimate truth is ultimate victory. But where theologically or religiously or psychologically do you think that you can just think truth is going to win if you don't speak the truth, if you don't fight for the truth, if you're not willing to sacrifice for the truth, if you're not willing to surrender for the truth, if you're not willing to put everything on the line for the truth, if somehow you could just, oh, yeah, we're just going to float it out there. And so now, what we have now is in an unbelievably dangerous moment in our country where my generation, a generation that basically has given. They've been given everything you could possibly imagine. They don't have to worry about housing or food or medicine. Generally, of course, there's extenuating circumstances, but they live in the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world. And we threw them mostly into government schools. And they learned American history from a villainous lens. That everything about our country is dark. That Jefferson and Washington and Franklin and the founders of our country, the brilliance that they had, that they were racist and backwards and slave owners that hated other people. And this is perfectly articulated in the New York Times 1619 project. You might be aware of this, and if you're not, your kids are probably learning from it, and if not, your tax dollars are probably funding it in one way or the other. 1619 Project, New York Times Project number one podcast on Apple Podcast for like the last couple weeks and last couple months, they. They make the argument so incorrectly and so insidiously and just so malevolently where they say, America was not founded in 1776, it was founded in 1619. And so this idea is now widespread and we just accept it as. And some leaders of conservative organizations that you have probably sent money to, by the way, they are now publishing that America is 400 years old. What? Hold on a second. We had a very specific founding. We are under English control. And then, you know what ended up happening. We wrote the Declaration of Independence, our birth certificate. It was completely different than any other document. We said the laws of nature and nature is God, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, previously was property, was inspired by the writings of John Locke. And right after we sent that letter to King George, the first state, Vermont, abolished slavery in year 1777. It was because of America that slavery started to end. We didn't invent slavery. We didn't all of a sudden endorse it wholeheartedly. In fact, it was a friction point all throughout the American founding. We set this ideal in our preamble and we said, maybe we can get to a place where all men are created equal under the law. Wow, what a moonshot. We didn't live up to it immediately, but we. Within 60 years, we fought a bloody war. Within 20 after that, we eradicated slavery already. Talking about black senators serving in the United States Congress. Show me another country that improved that quickly, that had that kind of progress and sacrifice so much for a moral good. That is not a racist country. That is a moral country. And that's all I want out of the party. That's that kind of narrative, that kind of we will not give an inch because we did not fight two world wars. We did not liberate South Korea. We did not create the western world to just allow these overly privileged, hyper entitled, self righteous, sanctimonious socialists to destroy the country from all the generations that sacrificed everything before us, all of them, including from this great state. So let's talk, let's talk about what else is happening here in this country right now. So my big focus is I visit college campuses all across the country. I'm here in my personal capacity. By the way, I do run a 501c3 nonprofit, Turning Point USA. You guys might be familiar with it. Thank you very much. 2000 high school and college campuses across the country. My good friend Bo Beatman has been supporting us for years. However, everything I say is my own personal capacity here tonight because I'm getting rather political Good. What's happening in higher education is one of the greatest threats to America. Make no mistake, Colleges and universities, including some in this state, pose the greatest threat to the future of America that I could possibly articulate. We have, we have a generation of children that are, they're borrowing money. They do not have to study things that don't matter, to go find jobs that don't exist. And what they do study is why there should be no, there is no God. You should love yourself, do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it. There is no such thing as truth. America's an awful place, and it creates incredibly unhappy people, unproductive people after a couple years. And when you watch these protests and you watch the swarms and the swaths of people in the streets, you should ask yourself the question you probably do. Where did this come from? The university system is where this. I've been dealing with these people for the last couple of years. I've been stormed out of restaurants by antifa. I've been spit in the face, had things thrown at me. My family has been doxxed. I've been getting death threats for years. It's not exactly a new concept what these people do. And by the way, they almost never get arrested. They never get held accountable. They never. It seems as if our government decides not to go that extra step for whatever reason, to hold these insurrectionist terrorists in our country accountable for the damage that they're doing. Oh, because they're protesting fascism? Like, oh, yeah, okay, first of all, they are the fascists. They're the ones that want to wear the mask. They're the ones that want to destroy our cities. They're the ones that are planting bombs in all of our urban centers. And so all of this originates in our university campuses, almost all of it. These bad ideas have been allowed to spread endlessly to generations of young people, to young people that are going into debt to learn from. Yes, the established professor in the University of California system, for example, if you say, quote, there is only one race, the human race, that is considered to be hate speech. You are not allowed to say that in the University of California system. You're not allowed to fly a flag at the University of California, Irvine, that is considered to be hate speech. We have black dormitories and over 100 speeches across the country. So we are resegregating black people away from white people now. We are now judging people on the color of their skin, not on the content of their character. All the progress that we made in the 1960s is being reversed in three weeks or less. Three weeks or less. Now, why is this happening? Because the left knows that the core ideas, the American trinity, as Dennis Prager would say, e pluribus unum, in God we trust and liberty. That is what binds us together as a people and makes us actually very decent. We're an unbelievably decent country. The fact that we have been able to bring in immigrants from all across the world, the fact that we've been able to have so many people that speaks different languages. It's unbelievable. We have been able to make this experiment work. And here's people say, well, Charlie, don't you know how racist we are? If we are so racist, why did 2 million people from Africa come here legally since the 1980s, more than ever came here as slaves? If we are so racist, why did the caravan come north from Central America, not south of Venezuela? If we're so racist, why is there a waiting line to come into our country for people of color? If we are so racist, why is it the idea to come into America? Of course not. And the idea. And they use this as a way to try to shame every single person in this room across the country to take a knee. First of all, I'm not taking a knee to anything except Jesus Christ. Let me just be very perfectly clear. They can arrest me, they could throw me in jail. That is just not happening. I don't care. And you have Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schwarzenegger, Schumer and those self righteous sycophants and those apparatchiks, they wear those kente cloths, which is so unbelievably pandering, and they go take a knee. And we're all supposed to believe this is because a police officer did something evil and wrong in Minneapolis? We're supposed to believe that. We're supposed. Yeah. Nothing says honoring the legacy of George Floyd like stealing a 70 inch television in Long Beach. Right. Like that's supposed to honor his legacy. Of course not. The left saw a moment, they saw a breaking point. They saw an opportunity. When people were very pent up, when you had unemployment was record high, men are living in the inner city. You know, testosterone is building inner cities. The gyms are closed, there's no sports, there's no recreational opportunities. What a great time to try to start to divide us. You. It's so amazing. From the moment I saw this story, I said, oh my gosh, please. And I contacted every single legislature I could. I said, hold the line. They're going to try to start this into something huge. And of course we didn't. And, and of course it grew because the media says killing of George Floyd divides America. No, actually it was probably the most agreeable incident I've ever seen in American life. No one was divided. In fact, everyone was united around this. And so then they create this false division where all of a sudden they're like, well, we think we need to have the division over this. And so what do you have? You have the burning of the cities, the looting the rioting, the targeting, and then it gets completely out of control would be an understatement, Right? Like we've, we've experienced out of control. Someone came up to me, I don't know who, they said, I lived through the 68 riots and I never thought I was losing my country. Well, you probably think you are now because this is different. Now you have corporations funding millions of dollars to these organizations, which is just a form of extortion. Like, don't boycott us. Next you have CEOs that have to step down in disgrace because they say all lives matter. Or because. Because they don't have preferences to go hire more black people than white people, which is incredibly racist in and of itself to start just judging people on the color of their skin. And so then in every single college across the country, they say, well, it's because we live in a system that has white privilege. And this is in every single major school system across the country. I don't know if it's in Wyoming or not. I pray to God it's not. Oh, it is. Well, there you go. So, no, no piece of turf is left untouched by the left. Do you guys notice that the left is always the one that is taking over institutions? That we're almost the one that's never taking over institutions? Do you guys notice that we're always the one that's like, well, we lost Hollywood, we lost the colleges, we losing the churches, we're losing that. Like, what's one thing that we've advanced positively except a couple political stuff, which of course is only temporary. It's because the left has been so focused on multi generational, multi decade cultural takeover. We'll talk about how to fix that in a second. This lie of white privilege must be defeated immediately. And I speak out against this so aggressively to great personal cost. Because if you dare say something that is true and assertively and you're not the right skin color, they come after you. So I had the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, all these people coming out and they say, well, Charlie, you're a white Christian male. You're not allowed to speak on this. So I've been speaking louder than ever before, thank you very much. And so, and it's truth is truth, regardless of the person who is saying it, something is true regardless of the skin color of the person that is communicating it. So when I say very simply that we should not be focusing on the color of people's skin, on the content of their character, that is true when I say that show Me very specifically how on earth this is. We have white privilege in America when the richest individuals in America are Indian Americans, Taiwanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans and Korean Americans. In fact, not just by a little. The average white American family earns $76,000 a year. The average Asian American family that just articulated 110 to $130,000 a year. The Constitution wasn't written Korean and it wasn't written in Vietnamese. In fact, anyone can succeed in this country if you just do three basic things. Get married before you have kids, get a job, any job. Graduate high school. And yeah, don't commit crimes. You're going to do greats. In fact, that's the way our system is built. If you play by the rules and you do that generally over a couple of generations, you can succeed. But we have taught our children to go blame other people for your problems. It's because of all these institutional hurdles that you can't succeed. You want to bust a lie, do so forcefully. And here's a great way to do it. A black child that is raised by a mother and a father is far more likely to succeed than even a white child that is raised by a single mother. Single mothers are American heroes. They're amazing. However, statistically, that child is less likely to succeed than even a black kid that has a mother and a father. So the real problem is not institutional racism. It's. It's institutional fatherlessness that's happening in the black community. We have removed the fathers in our communities. 77% of black children in America will grow up without a stable father in the home. That's according to the Washington Examiner, 77%. How are you supposed to have functioning social systems when kids do not have fathers? You know what happens when they don't have fathers by the time they're eight? They go find a male father figure. And you know, that usually is. It's the gang banger on the side of the street that gets them into crime by age 11, they're doing drugs by 13, and they're in the criminal justice system by 15. And they all say they hate the police because they have no positive interactions with it. And it's an endless cycle. And guess what? If they get lucky, they'll get into a school system oh, by the way, run by the corrupt Democrat cartel. Teacher unions. You go to Baltimore, Maryland, 13 schools that are almost all black kids. You can't find one kid that reads at grade level in the fifth grade or does math at grade level. This is a civil rights issue of our time and so maybe the issue isn't that there is institutional racism. Maybe it's because we remove fathers from the home and we allow the teacher unions and the cartels to run roughshod over our entire country and our government school system. Maybe that would be part of the problem in our country. However, that kind of nuance and that kind of detail is not always articulated by the people that we need to be. So here's one thing I do want to mention. We will get to some questions and I want to go deeper into 2020 as well. Higher education is a huge issue, as I mentioned. And so I encourage all of you that have young people to think very carefully before you send a kid to go to college. If you send a kid to go to four year college, be prepared to play Russian roulette with their values. And every college is different. Liberty University is a terrific school. And I have a project at Liberty University with the great Jerry Falwell Jr. He's terrific. It's in Lynchburg, Virginia. Hillsdale is a good school. There's a couple other good ones. But lo and behold, most colleges across the country engage in institutional and deliberate indoctrination of the next generation. They're training activists. They're not liberating young minds. I've spoke on more college campuses than any other person on the conservative circuit in the last couple years. And I could tell you the lack of wisdom, knowledge, worldliness and tolerance that is being stuffed down the next generation's throat or lack of thinking is absolutely, it's, it's, it's detrimental the future of America. And so you should be asking high school seniors, hey, why are you going to college? Not where are you going to college? Ask them the reason that they're going to college. Don't act as if there's an expectation to send them to school. We need more plumbers, welders, H Vac individuals. We need more police officers, people that take gap years, entrepreneurs, military service members, tradespeople, carpenters, you name it. We need more people that work with their hands and less people that are able to recite 16th century Lesbian poetry and how awful America is. And college, college. And I, I never went to college. And I admit it, which is the great irony of the entire thing. I run a college organization because I didn't go to college. So people try to use that against me. And I said, well, maybe that's why I was able to get this whole thing together because I didn't go to college. I'm half kidding, of course, but college has become far more about the credential than actually the education. Understand? A hungry mind will learn for the rest of their life. A hungry mind can learn outside of college thanks to the unbelievable access to knowledge that is out there on the Internet. You can read and you can learn. You can watch lectures of things they will never teach you for 80,000, $90,000 in debt that it takes you to go. And so what we've done is we've created this incredible, dangerous cultural expectancy that if you do not go to college, you somehow are less intelligent. I've spent time around people that have doctorates from Ivy League schools and people, and I've debated all of them. I could tell you right now there is far more wisdom of somebody that works in an oil well in Wyoming or a plumber in Gillette or a carpenter in Jackson Hole than any of the people that with these degrees and doctorates from Yale and Stanford, by a long shot. In fact, the reason there is no wisdom in these schools is. Goes back to an old Hebrew saying, no God, no wisdom. They have no God. So they have no wisdom in any of these schools. They have these people that are constantly trying to outdo themselves into a search for nothingness. They say that there's 127 genders at Brown. If you didn't know that there's over 127 genders. They say that the Bible is an outdated, ancient document that should be completely removed from our schools. They say there is no God. They see America's a racist, bigoted, homophobic country. They say there's no such thing as absolute truth. Only someone that went to Brown University and has a doctorate could believe something as foolish as this. They have very little applicable life experience. And what they do is they have deep contempt for the world that all of us live in. And so we send off our most prized possession. We say, here. Here's our young people. And we tell our kids, yeah, just go in debt. Sign on the dotted line. 60, 70, $80,000 a year and good luck. And all of a sudden they come back at Thanksgiving and, hey, honey, how was. How was college? First semester in college. And they say, I'm no. 9, non binary. And I don't think Thanksgiving should be a recognized holiday. I think it should be National Indigenous Peoples Remembrance Day. And I think that you guys stole all your money and you should give it away. And like, all of a sudden it's like it's a completely different person. And you wonder like, what the heck happened. Well, these are. These are intentional indoctrination factories that are doing incredible. They pose a tremendous threat. So what do we do about it? Number one, we need to have a massive movement right now to make sure that anyone that graduated from any college across the country, unless it's Hillsdale or Liberty or a conservative school, do not give your alma mater another nickel of your money. Defund these colleges, completely. Divest your money proudly. And so I run into this issue all the time. I've spoken all the great schools. The great schools, right. I spoke at Brown, I spoke at Yale, I sort of Columbia, speaking at Harvard this next fall if it doesn't get canceled. I've spoke at Stanford, I've spoke all across the country. Do you know where the, who the biggest donors are to these schools? Do you know who has the biggest names on these schools? Do you know? It's conservatives. It's conservatives that have written the biggest checks. It's conservatives that have written the nine figure checks. That's right, scribble how many numbers that is. That's over 100 million. So that your kids can learn to hate America. So it's conservatives that have voluntarily funded the destruction of our country. So I beg you, please stop funding these schools. They do not need your money. In fact, every single person in this room has had to sacrifice something because of the shutdowns, because of the Chinese virus. And these colleges are being like, well, we're going to have to go through layoffs and we're going to have good. You might actually start to fire some of the crazy apparatus that you have working for you. Like about time you have to go through some layoffs. My goodness. And so, and so more broadly, here's two other things and we can get to some questions. I do want to make sure I, we talk, you know, about what else is happening. People's people say, well, Charlie, what can I do locally? Every single person in this room right now, Wyoming Republican Party, should know every single member of your school board and you should run for school board yourself. Every single person. The lack of activism in local school boards and conservative Republican circles is unbelievable to me. It's like we care about all of this. We're worried about the destruction of America and all of our kids. And quite honestly, we are just letting the unions run our school boards for us. We're letting them use these textbooks that are approved by anti American globalists. We're allowing people that hate our country to just run our school system. And if the Republicans got smart and tough about taking over the school systems, we could make real sizable change and these races are won in this state by like a couple thousand votes, if that. I mean, some of these local school board races might have like a thousand, two thousand votes. And so I urge all of you that might be thinking about it. What can I do? Well, first of all, get involved in the school board races, if not run. They are so unbelievably important. And guess what? They're almost all former individuals in the education system. Almost all of them. Almost all of them are people that serve in the education system. There's nothing wrong here. Nothing to see here. Now, mind you, Wyoming, you guys are not the worst culprit in the country of all this. But I'm going to tell you something shocking right now. I'm a data guy, and I spent about an hour and a half yesterday, late at night, going through your trends, going through voter registration numbers, going through voting records. You guys are six years from making this a blue state. Six years. Six years. This will be a Democrat state, maybe less, so we can celebrate. We're all doing great, right? Six years. This is Colorado. I look at outward migration trends, which are only going to accelerate because people are coming in from other states because they've screwed up the rest of the country. The state's very attractive because of a zero percent income tax. Liberals are coming here quickly, and they're teaching your kids to hate the country, too. And so if you're not serious, if we don't get serious about this very quickly, you know, a decade from now, I'll be invited to the, you know, Lincoln Reagan Day dinner or something and be like, yeah, the Democrat governor. And my goodness, will that be a sad day if Wyoming turns? And if you don't think it's possible, just look at other states around you. Look at Montana. Look at Kristi Noem had an unbelievably close race for governor. It was within like 12,000 votes. Colorado used to be a deep red state. Nevada used to be a deep red state. They've all turned. Now, remember the trend the left takes. The left. If there's one thing you take away from this, it's not exactly the most enlightening thing to remember, but it's. The left destroys everything it touches. They're like locust. They take something over, they move to the next thing. Take something over, they'll destroy everything. They destroyed football. They destroy music. They destroy fine art. The left is a relentless force of destruction. And they're coming for Wyoming if they're not already here and they're going to try to infiltrate your Party. They're going to try to infiltrate your political class, they're going to try to infiltrate things that you care about, infiltrate your churches. And I hope that's a wake up call for all of you because I, I used to come to many states that are now blue, states that were once red, states that eight years ago I wouldn't have dreamed. Texas is now a battleground state. Arizona is now a battleground state. Georgia is now a battleground state. And the reason being, number one, is Republicans refused to fight and we elected Democrats that call themselves Republicans. Number two, that we just completely vacated the entire cultural landscape. So you're sick, you're probably six years from losing the state if you don't actually elect and fight on every single term, every single front. So I want to talk about the churches too, because I spoke at a church this afternoon. Amazing church, Family Life Church, Family Life church, something like that. Great church, terrific church, great pastor. And I was very warmly welcomed. Thank you for that. And it shouldn't be a controversial thing for a pastor to host me. Unfortunately it is. I'm a Bible believing Christian. It's the most important thing in my life. And I contest for Christianity on college campuses, in the public square and social media. But so many pastors have come out against me and denounced me and say that, well, we as Christians can't get involved in politics. I hear this all the time. Christians can't get involved in politics. Which is just so amazing to me that like, I must have missed that in the gospel about like not getting involved in politics. In fact, I remember, I remember the commission is go make disciples of all nations, which in the original translation is every corner of every. Everything in life is you should be spreading the gospel and the kingdom of Jesus Christ. The most important thing you could do in your life is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The second most important thing is making sure you could do the first thing and, and that is now somehow a controversial position. They're taking down statues of Jesus Christ, by the way, the Black Lives Matter radicals came out the other day that say they want to take down statues of Jesus Christ. Churches are being lit on fire and guess what? Do you want to know who the biggest points of endorsement and activism for? A lot of this is people that call themselves Christians. Megachurch pastors have come out with Black Lives Matter T shirts who, you know, they are pro sex work, abolish prisons, abolish police, destroy the western, prescribed nuclear family. Must have missed that in Matthew 5, the whole pro sex work thing. But A lot of these pastors are just coming out and they're saying, yeah, you know, we support this and our congregants are going to get behind this. And now one of the only reasons why America has been resistant to socialist and Marxist takeovers is because of the church. One of the reasons we've always had a firewall is because the church has prevented it from happening for so many years. That's not the case now. In fact, the church is the driving force for Marxist social change throughout the country. And so I highly encourage you, if your pastor is not speaking out boldly and biblically against the hate group that is Black Lives Matter, if they are not speaking out boldly and biblically against the lies of white privilege, if they are not telling the congregation that now is the time not to go silent and that say, this will pass, now is the time to stand and fight, please go find another church. Because now is not the time to just abdicate all of our responsibility and our authority. And so here's what you can concretely do. People say, well, Charlie, what can I give to what can I. When you do your year end budgeting, give more money to political or social causes than you spend on coffee every single year. And that's a good rule of thumb. The average American spends $10 a day on coffee. Incredible inflation or something. My goodness, right? $10 a day. That's a lot of money. And so if being caffeinated is more important than having a country, then okay, well, then so be it. But I encourage all of you on your hierarchy of lists to be very specific about where your time, your energy and your resources are. And that's the other thing, is that this is not a spectator sport. Like, the fight for our country is not something where you turn on the TV and like, go, Trump, go. And then like, you just check out. Every single person in this room should be putting something on the line for the fight of freedom. Every single person in this room should be ready to sacrifice something that is near and dear for you, for your country. And that is a little. That is a small ask out of you compared to what prior generations did for our country. And what I'm finding is some people are just willing to be like, you, go get them, Charlie. I'll be cheering for you from afar. I'm like, that's fine. There's three types of people. There's the people that help the enemy or do nothing. There's the fighters and the people that help the fighters. I'm one of the fighters. I'm gonna keep on doing. I'm gonna more college campuses than ever before. I'm gonna get things thrown at me. I'm gonna get all the news media to continue to call me the worst names in the world. That's fine. That's what I signed up for. Then just help the fighters. If that's not you, be the supply chain in the military analogy. Because very specifically and concretely we are being outgunned right now. I am getting hundreds of messages from young people that are saying, charlie, I love Donald Trump and he has my back. And the party has totally left us for ruin. And they're not wrong because this is no longer about like passing bills and debates. It's now about a culture war. And we as conservatives haven't really engaged in the culture war for a long time. Longer multi generational things. I highly encourage you to homeschool your kids. Highly encourage it. I'm a huge advocate of homeschooling. Please do that. So that's multi generational and it's longer term, but that's a different thing. And then on the most personal level, think to yourself, am I willing to watch my country burn if they don't come from me? And I'm not willing to be that. In fact, I want to be an active participant in that. And I know exactly what they're doing, I know their aims. And let's talk about the election, then we'll do some questions. Frank. Okay, so Joe Biden is going to be the Democrat nominee. People say, do you think he's going to get switched out? I thought that at one point. I see no evidence of that whatsoever. I mean, and I'm going to tell you something awfully depressing because it's very important for you to hear this. This guy is the most confused, corrupt candidate ever to run for the history of the presidency. Most corrupt vice president in American history. Sold us out to China, sold us out to Ukraine for his son's benefit, his son's interest. He confuses his wife with his sister. Doesn't know what state he's in, doesn't know what president he served for. Calls people that wants to vote for him. Lying dog face pony soldiers. And According to him, 150 million people died of gun deaths last year and 120 million people died of COVID 19. The guy has serious mental cognitive problems. Right? We all know this. We all see this sort of. I was talking to a Democrat friend of mine in Chicago and parents, and we've known each other for years. I went to school with their Kids, she still talks to me, amazingly. And I asked her, I said, is she still voting for Biden? She thinks he's great and all that. And I asked, I said, well, what do you think of Biden's cognitive decline? And she said, what are you talking about? Just so you understand the echo chamber we live in, okay? I said, you know, the fact he screws up and he can't really make sentences. She's like, charlie, I've known you for years. I have no idea what you're talking about. All I know is that Trump can't walk down a ramp, he can't take a glass of water. He always slurs his words. And I think Trump has mental problems. Now, she was not trolling me. This is a very sincere conversation between a thoughtful voter who watches the news, someone who I consider to actually be a more than informed person. And I said, you've seen nothing about Biden's decline? She says, I think he's speaking pretty nice, actually. You know, the little. I said, have you ever seen a full speech? He's like, well, no, but I'll see you like 20 second snippets on the news. And I said, okay, if you think that we're just going to win this thing because of that, I mean, most of the country doesn't even know what we know. That is so obvious to us. And we live in a mass propaganda war right now where the news, the activist news media is so unbelievably determined to destroy this country, they are going to try to put a corrupt, borderline senile individual into the White House without ever trying to have him campaign. So Donald Trump right now is, he's, the polling reflects that he's not doing as well. I think the polling is pretty misleading. I think there is some truth to that, though. I think that he probably has taken a hit. I think that's fair to say. I don't think he's down as much as the polls say, but I think it's probably fair to say he's tied, if not a little bit down in some of those states. And I think that sort of humility is actually needed. I don't, I don't think there's actually any utility in us saying he's going to win. He's going to win a 50 state landslide. Like, I don't, there's people that do that and I just, I don't think that's actually helpful. Like, I don't think that's actually going to make him elected to a second term. So we're very lucky because we have an incredible president who's fought for us at every single turn, fought for our country, decided to just sacrifice everything for the betterment of everything we care about. And I believe he will. I believe he's going to have a bounce back. I think he will. And in order for him to do so, it's going to take, I think, a kind of recalibration of his message. And it's part of the brilliance of his 2016 message. And all of us were captured around this, is that he kind of. He entered into the imagination of the American people. He made us dream for the first time in 40 years. He's like, we can bring back jobs. You're going to get so sick of winning that you're going to say, stop the winning, right? You're going to get sick of it. You're going to have a physical wall. He was. He was almost pushing the boundaries of. And guess what? He actually fulfilled everything he said he was gonna do. It's miraculous. But what's really sobering and we have to recognize this is because of these lockdowns and because of the virus, he almost has to not run as an incumbent. He has to rerun for the presidency altogether. And I think that's a very hard thing to admit. But unfortunately, a lot of his landmark economic accomplishments have been totally disappeared. People don't remember them, people don't feel it. People have a completely different set of anxiety right now than they did back then. And so he's very innovative, he's very adaptive, and I think he's going to be able to do that. And thankfully, once a campaign is eventually going to emerge, when it's Joe Biden versus Donald Trump, I think he's going to. I can't even see a scenario where that campaign exists and swing voters in the states that matter are going to be able to make that informed decision. And if it does, then we've got a lot more structural problems than Trump versus Biden if we elect Biden and that campaign actually happens. But I want to say this, that Donald Trump has done so much for our country. And I have to go around. We should applaud that, by the way. Thank you. I wrote one of the best performing pro Trump books called the MAGA Doctrine. Sold incredible amounts. I actually make the articulation of what the philosophy is of the Trump presidency. And thank you for those of you that bought the book. I appreciate that very much. And blown away by the support and the president's endorsed it multiple times and I make the argument that Donald Trump was actually a 40 year reckoning, a throbbing middle finger against the ruling class. That it was this repulsion that all of us have for stodgy politicians, that we actually enjoyed the offhand remarks. We enjoyed someone that wasn't like the rest of them. That almost from a very symbolic perspective, we wanted someone that was a little rough around the edges. In fact, we wanted someone that was going to be the bodyguard of America, right? Like, we wanted someone that was going to be kind of the bouncer outside of the club, right? That was going to look the enemy in the eye and say, you're going to touch the American people. You got to go through me first. Right? We wanted the street fighter from Brooklyn to be like, you know what, American left, I'm going to punch you twice as hard. You've never been punched like, you've been punched like, don't Trump. And he was right. And Donald Trump actually played offense for the first time in a long time. When you had all these politicians, they have all their plans and 36 different points. You have Mitt Romney, who's a total and complete disgrace and should be kicked out of the Republican Party immediately. And you have all these guys that they care much more about appeasing lobbyists and kowtowing to China. You have a guy that for the first time in a long time, he's like telling the truth. And you're like, my gosh, what's this all about? And not only does he tell the truth, he tells it brutally and bluntly, like, we've been losing. You ready to start winning? Elect me. We're gonna bring jobs back. These deals are the worst deals I've ever seen in my life. And I could do better deals. And he's actually fulfilled those things. And he did. He confirmed the justices. He said he was gonna confirm this pandemic was a curveball that a lot of us couldn't see. We should not have locked down our country the way that we did. That was an unbelievable mistake, and we need to recognize that mistake. And this state went way too far in what you did. You guys should have done the South Dakota model. So I'm just gonna say that right now. So. God bless Kristine Noem. Incredible. She's. And I'm seeing her in a couple days, so I'll tell her hi from all of you. But you guys got it better than most states, so I'll say that. But it was way too much. The data just didn't reflect any of it. It just didn't and again, what I love about this part of the country should know, take responsibility for your life. Like, if you're a rancher and you own property and you're 45 minutes off the grid and you know you get in a little bit of trouble, that's self reliance. And you got to know how to take care of yourself and your family's going to take care of you and at the absolute worst case scenario, you're going to call in a helicopter. But this kind of spirit of taking responsibility and freedom is built into this part of the world. And this idea that, that wasn't translated into the public policy of the lockdown was just amazing to me. It was like your whole state was built around the idea of taking care of yourself in less than desirable circumstances. It's like, right, it's, it's like your whole, I mean, it's way more dangerous to be, let's just say facilitating a 50,000 anchor ranch in negative 30 degree weather than getting COVID 19. I'm sorry. Like, that's just like, it's way more dangerous. Like, and you guys do it and you do it well and that's the fabric of your state. And so let's just recognize, let's never do that again, right? Maybe you protect the nursing homes and maybe you shelter in place certain areas. Maybe you put forth very firm guidelines for certain people and then you say something that the people were waiting for. Take care of yourself because you have your own ability to make decisions. Freedom requires responsibility. Go be American. Like, that would have been really great to hear, right? I mean, she's Louise. Instead. Instead, what we saw across the country, especially in the Marxist states. I want to give credit to Brian Kemp and Ron DeSantis. They did a very good job of improving the lockdown measures and they deserve credit. And I don't always see eye to eye with Governor Kemp on certain things, but he deserves credit on that. He really does. And DeSantis is a dear friend. He was terrific. And they opened up their state and they're holding the line. And what we saw is incredible acceleration of suicides, mental health problems, depression, alcoholism, social isolation, joblessness. And the solution was the cure was worse than the disease. Make. Make no mistake. And since when do we believe we can control a virus? Like, what kind of, what kind of messianic deification uber do we think we have that we can like control the spread? Now that's not to say you should be foolish, right? And you should have like a mosh pit in Cheyenne. That's not what I'm recommending. But it's also not reason to shut down a state where generally every person in the state knows how to take care of themselves. So I just. I think that's insane. So, anyway, there's. But. And Trump. Trump did. And this is a very important point, is that people blame the lockdowns for Trump. And this is a nuanced point, but Kristi Noem was exactly as an example that not every state had to lock down, that it wasn't on Trump. He issued his guidelines, left it to the states. And I think Trump has to push back a little bit more here and say, I didn't force you guys to lock down. I think his political poll numbers will go up because I think part of the reason that people are. I know the spirit of this country. I know that the lockdowns were not favorable. I just know that. And especially the way that they were implemented. And so that took a huge hit, and that was unforeseen. And it bothers me as a Trump supporter, bothers me as an American, that he's being blamed for something that was so outrageously out of his control. He was the one that warned us against China. He was the one. He's the one that told us that they were an insidious force against the world. He's the one that tried to hold them accountable, renegotiate the trade deals. And then China lies about the virus. They release the virus onto the rest of the world, whether intentionally or unintentionally. You guys can fill in the gaps yourself. But then 100,000Americans die, which is a total tragedy, and then we shut everything down. So he's in a less than desirable situation. But the one thing. I wrote five chapters about this in my book, and I've done tons of research. I know the biography of Donald Trump extraordinarily well, and I encourage all of you guys to check it out, because it's really special. It really is. I mean, built Trump Tower by the age of 31 or 32. Rebuilt Woolman Rink, rebuilt the convention center at age 28. Renovated Hotel Commodore in midtown Manhattan. He was changed into the Grand Hyatt. Always fighting the establishment, fighting the conventional orthodoxy, trying to be an innovator, putting tough problems on his shoulders, not always succeeding, but recalibrating and innovating. Bought a football team. I don't know if any of you know that. Sued the NFL and almost won. And by the way, they call him a racist. Herschel Walker was like, babysitting Donald Trump Jr. When he was growing up. You know who Herschel Walker is? He's a black running back, but I think actually won the Heisman Trophy. And by the way, what's so unbelievable to me, and Republicans don't usually fight on this, Donald Trump's a racist. Explain to me how someone magically becomes a racist the moment he starts to run for the presidency. Like every black person in the country love Donald Trump. He's in every single rap song. They go visit him, they take pictures with him. He's glorified in the black community. They gave him like the black Hero of the Year award in year 2007. And the moment he decides to run as a Republican, they use, oh, he's the worst person in the world, because he wants to secure our country. I mean, and so. But the one thing that I know about this guy, and I've gotten to know him and I've spent time with him, is. And I think you all see this, is that there's a relentlessness, there's a perseverance to him. And with whatever hundred days left we have to the election and all that, the one guy that you want in this moment in time, after we've locked down, after the joblessness, after the all this nonsense of the virus, the one human being that could still win election after being reelection, after being impeached, after being spied on, the Mueller probe, which was a total hoax, and Republicans voting for his impeachment. And people former, every former president that's alive doesn't support him. If there's one guy that can do it, it's Donald Trump. Let me tell you, if there's one guy that can rise above all of them, it's Donald Trump. And that's where all of you come in. So what can I do concretely? Okay, so I think it's fair to say Wyoming is going to vote for Trump. Right? You got a really important Senate race in Montana for Steve Daines. Some of you go across the border from Sheridan to Billings that ever go knock on doors. Arizona is a battleground state. You guys want to go on a road trip? I'll put you to work. To go knock on doors, to go tell Arizonans that came from California to go vote for Trump. The point is this. Mobilize the Wyoming standing army to go be activists for the betterment of our Republicans. This election will be determined by 10,000 votes here and 12,000 votes here and 800 votes here and 900 votes here. It's basic, it almost statistically guaranteed that this is going to be a Marginal victory election if we win. And so for those of you like, I'm in Wyoming, I can't do anything and I can't travel, that's fine. There's huge opportunities, you know, phone bank from home in other states. There's opportunities to be able to advocate and do all those sorts of things. Get that kind of activist posture as we get into this reelection. Because right now, the left, they think they got us on the run. We have plenty of intelligence. We got plenty of intelligence all throughout the left. And I could tell you they think that they are six to nine months from getting exactly where they want to go. And I understand that there's a fear out there about all the lockdown and everything, the pandemic. But if there's ever been a time to rise up and to do and to fight harder than we ever fought, now is the time. And do that in your personal, that politically and otherwise. All right, let's do some questions. Okay, that'll be kind of fun. I've been trying for about a month now on Facebook to just call out when I see a lie that's obviously a lie or just a falsehood that they try to disguise as the truth or like they use anecdotal evidence and you try to show them percentages and stats and they're very, they have a lot of cognitive dissonance and they don't listen to arguments. How can you get past that and try to just like get, get them to recognize the truth? Yeah, it's a very, it's a great point. Thank you, by the way, for being here. Anyone ever feel like you have trouble communicating with the leftist or a liberal? Anyone ever have this phenomenon? Yeah, that is my full time job. So it's what I do every single day. First of all, don't grow in despair. You'd be amazed at how many people I've seen that have been pathological. Leftists in one sentence of truth can diffuse them immediately into a pursuit of what is right and good and honest in the world. And so don't, don't grow in despair and keep holding the line and calling out the nonsense as you see it. Also understand this. You're young, you're conservative. Be ready to lose any and all of your friends, because that probably will happen if you fight for truth. I see it happen all the time. Kids are the most popular person in high school. They say one thing in favor of me or Trump, they lose everything. But they're talking about the truth, which is far more important than that. Popularity. I hope all of you guys recognize and realize that. That you might be a little disconnected. I mean, the price that our students are paying for advocating for this is unbelievable. I mean, we just hosted 3,300 students in Phoenix, Arizona, and every single one of them came up to me and they said, charlie, we're ready to lose everything. Let's go. I mean, you want to see the fire? It's the young conservatives. It really is, though. And I mean, I'm sitting around, around some of these senators and they're like, everything's great. Like, we're fine. Like, this is. We have got to get rid of that wing of the party and, like, go into retirement, man. Because, like, we got a country to save. Like, oh, my goodness. And because our generation is the one that's just getting the blunt of all this. We're the ones getting canceled. We're the ones getting kicked out of school. We're the ones that are having reporters show up and, you know, literally hunt us in the middle of the night. We're the ones that have death threats put against us and our families. We're the ones that have to get under police protection. And it's a very. And these are 15 and 16 year old kids that are just trying to support their president. We're the Turning Point USA leaders are the ones that have had their dormitories firebombed, that have been punched in the face on the campus of UC Berkeley, that have had bear spray at their Turning Point USA Chapter meetings with 16 of our members having to be hospitalized. None of that stuff makes national news, by the way. None of it. And so that should inspire all of you because there is a firm conservative base of students that are just. Are so dedicated to holding the line. And so I want to thank you for that because don't grow in pessimism. And with all that. And so if you guys want to, I encourage all of you, one way that you could help me tonight, and I want to thank those of you that have said nice things about it. I do about 12 podcasts a week. Try to do 14 to a day, and you guys can all subscribe and help us beat the New York Times. You guys type into any one of your smartphones on your podcast app Charlie Kirk show and hit subscribe. We could wake up tomorrow and we might be beating the New York Times. If everyone in this room did that, we would beat the New York Times on every one of your smartphones. But you guys would enjoy it. I just interviewed the president three days ago, and what I do is I also answer questions from young people all across the country. I do an hour Ask Me anything every single Monday. Charlie, how do I debunk this study? How do I do this? The time? And our research team does dozens of hours of research every single week. I mean, it's incredible what we do, our entire podcast platform, and it's really, really easy to listen to when you're driving or working out. So you guys would bless me if you guys subscribe to that. So let's go to the next question.
