Charlie, thank you for coming. Thank you.

So I think a lot of people here are trying to get you with gotchas and stuff like that. I agree with a lot of what you say, but there's a fundamental issue I have, I think, with some aspects of our society today. Vivek brought up that we don't have a Central American identity anymore. And largely I think that's because when the Constitution was written, we were primarily Christian, we were primarily European. The literacy rate was very high back then because the Puritans forced their kids to

So we had a very literate and effective democracy. But today, in the absence of identity, people have sort of gone back to this very materialistic relationship with politics. And my question for you is, I think throughout history, you see that every society generally has a spiritual center. And our spiritual center was meant to be the Constitution. And it strayed significantly from then. Even back hundreds of years ago, we had...

we had aristocracies that were given the divine right by God to rule. Today, in the absence of a military-landed aristocracy with an economic elite,

Do you think that because people's self-interests have sort of superseded this larger identity of what it means to be an American, for example, during the Vietnam War, you had the song Fortunate Son because these senators would not be participating in warfare, whereas in the past the Land of Aerosoxy would. How do we get back to a greater identity of America and actually...

fighting for America rather than all these politicians that are looking out for their self-interest rather than making America stronger and more powerful on a global stage? It's a thoughtful question. This is why Donald Trump needs to win, is that we're losing our commonality as Americans right now. And you're right. The Constitution needs to be the North Star. The premise of the Constitution is that you are made in the image of your creator, that you have agency, that liberty is God's idea, not man's idea.

and that when a free society is allowed to occur and ensue, it's amazing what human beings can do. As we stray away from the Constitution, our country disintegrates. Can I say one more thing? Really quick. So because we have become largely materialistic and consumerist, don't you think that as part of our government, we need to have more of like an actual central institution which promotes a central culture rather than all these individual interests that kind of come together? I don't, but I think this other guy wants to get in here. All right, all right. Hey, thanks for coming, Charlie. Thank you.

All right, I'm guessing you're on the football team. Am I right? No, I actually play tennis. No, I'm just kidding. I'm sorry, I'm just up here. I just want to give my coach a hat. You know, horns down too. And go Dawgs, go Dawgs. You're going to give this to Kirby? Yeah, I'm going to give it to Kirby. All right. All right, what's up? Who wants to go?

Hey, Charlie. Thanks for coming today. I'm Jack. That's not a stack house. He's a D lineman on the football team. That's what I figured. Yeah. Yeah. OK. So with Joe Biden's late dropout and Kamala's subsequent rise in the polls, do you feel like the power of incumbency is decreasing? It's a really smart question. That's actually part of the trick of this election is that they're trying to convince you she's not an incumbent. Usually incumbents. So that's actually a really, really smart question.

Usually you want to be an incumbent unless you've been an awful president and vice president, and now they're trying to act as if they're not an incumbent. Do you notice that, where she's like, oh, I'm going to...

How many times does she say, we need to turn the page? Yeah, turn the page on you, Kamala Harris. You're the current vice president of the United States. Oh, we need a change after the last 10 years. And you're kind of like, wait a second, you're the change candidate as the vice president? And so it's a smart question because typically you want to be the incumbent and run on your record. Now it seems as if that's changed dramatically.

And do you feel like she was legitimately elected to be the vice president? I mean, it was legitimate through the Democrat Party. But, I mean, for all of you Democrats out there, I know you're out there.

You guys should be really, really upset that you guys did not have a fair and open primary. 16 million people voted for Joe Biden, not for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, just Joe Biden. And you guys all of a sudden had to be stuck with with Kamala Harris. Yeah, of course. I don't know if it was like a Zoom call or something or the delegates met. No one's ever explained to me how this worked, by the way. Did they have like a conference call? Did they all like kind of text in their vote? It was like all of a sudden Joe Biden drops out and all of a sudden, you know, oh, she's the nominee.

To be perfectly honest, I'm thrilled we're running against her.

because there were a lot of other Democrats that could have been way harder to beat. And typically when someone runs for president, they'll find three things they disagree with their party about to try to broaden the base. For example, when Trump ran, he's like, I don't agree with the wars, I don't like trade, and we need immigration. Okay, when Bill Clinton ran, he was like, I'm in favor of the death penalty and welfare reform. Usually there's things that they'll find things they disagree with their party about. Kamala Harris is such a creature of the Democrat Party. And it's too bad. I mean, for Democrats, the party of democracy...

They didn't really play that out very well this year. No, they didn't. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming, Charlie. No, we should not free Diddy, okay? Absolutely not. No. Yeah, you'll debate me? Okay. Do you have a free Epstein shirt, too? Uh...

Hey, Charlie. My name is Ryan, and I really like the way that you explain things to people. You're really polite. Even when people do name-calling, you're really always about the facts. So I had a quick question for you about Trump and his administration in 2024. So Trump always has been America first, and I really appreciate that. I like that about him. But one thing that...

is kind of a concern to me about America first is both Kamala and Trump's. They've pledged so much money and support to Israel as if it's an extension of the United States, as if it's part of the United States. So how can we say we're putting America first as Trump supporters when all this dialogue about sending dollars to protect Israel? So let me ask you a question. Do you believe in America first or America only?

America first. So America first then allows you to be involved in international affairs. America only would say we don't want to be involved. And so I will agree that there should be a suspension of all foreign aid until immigration is completely shut down and we've done a deportation effort. We can agree on that, right? Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. I say once we got our house in order, though, and we might not agree on this, I believe there is a role for an American-Israeli alliance. Maybe it's been too much money in recent years, but I think that there is a place for a partnership with the state of Israel for America. Okay.

And then last thing. So would you agree that we should be putting a little bit less money into Israel that we're doing too much right now, but we should probably decrease? I will. I will agree with this. That during the last spending bill, it inexplicably went up by like $15 billion and no one gave me a good explanation. That will all agree with. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Claim your free pocket constitution today at charlieforhillsdale.com. That is charlieforhillsdale.com. Hi. Hi.

You've been on record to say that college is a scam for various reasons. Not only that, I wrote a book. You wrote a book as well, yes. And I could see one of your main arguments being that we take a lot of classes that you would consider useless, but we still pay for them. So it's like, why are we paying this extra money for the stuff we don't want to learn? I personally have not had that experience. I haven't taken a single useless class yet. I think there's a little bit of importance.

How many of you guys take classes that are a waste of time? Look around. You are in the minority, my friend. But that's okay. That's fine. I think... You know what it's like? It's like saying, hey, I had a great experience on Spirit Airlines. Wow, I met someone.

I know it exists. I know someone exists out there that had a great flight on Spirit Airlines. I've never met them, but I want to. Me personally, I just wonder because for me, it's like it gives you a list of classes. There's only a couple of classes that are required for each person to take, whether that be for your major or for that be for your core, I believe.

at one of the schools, it's like government's like the only required core class in English that you take, but all the other classes you get options. So I'm like, you should pick the most useful out of those options. So I just don't understand. Fair enough. I think what a lot of people, so for example, I would imagine, let me give an example at Ohio State University, not UGA, which you guys don't like the Buckeyes either here, right? You guys hate everyone. It's Georgia against the world, which I fully support, by the way. I think it's awesome.

By the way, I hate Alabama. Don't tell them I said that. Anyway, it's a whole different issue. So, for example, at Ohio State, if you're studying engineering, you have to take a DEI course. I think that's ridiculous. Okay, like diversity, equity, inclusion. I don't know if it's required to take DEI here. Is it? It's required for a veterinarian so that you know the diverse cats that you're... You need DEI if you're a veterinarian. Wow. I don't know how that applies. Okay.

That's really something. So we'll just disagree. That's fine. I'm glad, though, that you're getting a lot out of the experience. I'm glad because not everyone is. Thank you very much. We can't hear you. Yes, sir. How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana? I'm against it. Against why?

Well, first, I think it's so I know you'll probably bring up alcohol. Happy to discuss that. I actually think alcohol is worse than marijuana for the record. Would you agree with that? But we're talking about legalizing something that's currently illegal rather than making something legal that is illegal. That makes sense. So I can tell you. Let me let me put it this way.

and maybe we can find common ground. Would you agree that there are more side effects to the usage of marijuana than most people would be aware about? For sure. Okay, so that's a good common agreement. I think the problem with mass legalization is that it underplays the side effects. I don't think a generation that is regularly using marijuana is a great thing for the country or a great thing for the individual. The best argument that one would make is, but the government should have no role in it. Fair enough. I think that's a good argument.

That's the best argument, actually. But at the same time, I wouldn't. So, for example, Arizona, we've completely legalized legalized marijuana. And I don't think it's been good. Miners are using it more. Emergency room visits are off and also the new again. I don't know the technical term, but it's it's it's far more psychoactive than it has been in the past. Would you agree with that? Yeah. THC rates are.

Yeah. And it also increases bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety. And I also think there's been a lot in that, oh, it's going to solve all of your problems. We've seen very little evidence of that.

It would make the government a lot of money, though. Make the government a lot of money. Yes and no. So that's interesting. We're still trying to see if that's true. Yeah. So in Colorado, which is like the premier marijuana legalization, their social services have gone up. So hospital room visits, other homelessness issues. And we're not even sure if it's cash flow neutral with the money and revenue they're getting from marijuana.

So you might be right, but I don't look around saying, how can I give more money to the government? There's a lot of ways to give money to the government, right? That's not that interesting to me. Maybe it would bring less taxes, though. You think so or no? I'd have to look at that. So let's go through three promises of the legalization industry, if that's okay. The first of which is they said that it was going to weaken the cartels.

It has not. Right. They said that it was going to lower usage rates, that people once it's legal, people will use it less because it the mystique of the illegal ality will be gone. That's not true. Right. And number three, we were told that minors would not be using marijuana as much. And that's also not true. Yeah. So I think that's just worth thinking about. For sure. Thank you. Thank you very much. Do you guys disagree? You guys can come to the front of the line. Yes, sir.

uh how you doing my name is spencer glenn uh i just got out of the marine corps like a month ago thank you for your service yeah no you're good you're good uh you got a marine right here uh so there's actually two things i want to talk about the first thing is not necessarily question but i just want to tell you something that i experienced a little while ago when i was in 2020 that's when i went to boot camp uh and before boot camp you know this is during the height of covid

And I didn't really, you know, have a plan or do anything and, you know, whatever. That's why I wanted to go into the Marine Corps. And when I was in the quarantined hotel before, it was my first year of voting that I could have voted, and they would not allow me to vote. I was registered and everything, and they kept me in that hotel, and I couldn't leave until voting was over. So it's kind of strange. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, right? Maybe. What's your question? My question is, so...

I've seen a couple of your things on YouTube and, you know, just scrolling through everything. And so I've seen you a little bit, but I don't know exactly your stance on this. But I believe that there should be no restrictions on guns almost whatsoever. I believe that I should be able to own exactly the same thing that the military has, if not better. And I also believe that

There really shouldn't be any no gun zones. I feel like schools and things should have, you know, teachers should be able to carry if they are. I'm totally with you on the second component of that. But can I challenge you on the first? Yes. Do you think civilians should be able to own Tomahawk missiles? Yeah. I know that's like a crazy stance. I know that might be a little. Can I further push you with your permission? Yes, you can. Do you think civilians should be able to own thermonuclear weapons? Okay, maybe not.

Hold on. This is important. It is important. So there is a line where you're like, okay, the government only. Yep. My line is a little bit further down than yours. I think having like white dudes for Harris with Tomahawk missiles is terrifying. Yes, it is.

because I wouldn't have a home right now. True. So I think that generally I am of the opinion that less gun control the better, especially where it's heavily regulated. And even to go as far, I think some of the restrictions on automatic weapons go too far. Yes.

But I do think that we should fight for a government that we trust enough that they can at least control sophisticated weaponry, tanks, missiles, thermonuclear weapons. But I think you're coming after it in a good way that more liberty, not less liberty on this topic is probably the right solution. Yeah. And I know that was kind of like an insane push, I guess, maybe. It isn't. It isn't. But I'm trying to get at that there are lines where you believe the government should only have a monopoly on force at some point. Yes. Yes.

So what about the I believe that there really shouldn't be any gun-free zones? Yeah, no, I told you I'm in favor of that. Okay. Yeah, no, I think the only exception I would give, no, for schools, I totally agree with. I think you guys should all be able to own weapons on campus, by the way. Are you able to or no? Yes, no, no, yes, sort of. Yeah. You can conceal carry without a permit or with a permit? Without a permit. It's constitutional carry on campus. Yes, it is. It's over 18 and less.

Okay. You guys are all telling me different things. So it's wishy-washy. So, for example, I think that to be consistent, you served in the Marine Corps. Yes, I did. It's crazy that you were able to carry a weapon in a theater of war, but you can't carry a weapon on a taxpayer-funded college campus. So we agree on that. Cool. Thank you very much. Hey, you have a go. Thank you.

We're officially in that time of year where eating becomes way off balanced.

Hey, Charlie. I've been a fan since I was 16. I voted early. I'm a freshman on campus. First time voting. You voted for Trump? Yes, sir. Good for you. For those who aren't voting early, my question is, because misinformation is a big deal, how has misinformation affected the decisions that voters make today on who they vote for or if they decide to vote at all? I will say that there are some mythologies out there that, let me get to this way. Some people will say, but Charlie, I'm not going to vote because my vote won't count.

Hold on. Not voting is a guarantee that your vote won't count. The entire logic is insane. Okay. By the way, how long did it take you to vote? Time to finish. Maybe 10 minutes. 10 minutes. How long do you have to wait to use the restroom at this beautiful stadium?

More than that. Yeah. So let me just be clear. You guys will wait in line to go, you know, take a leak at halftime at the UGA line for 30 minutes. And you can't go 10 minutes to go fill out a piece of paper to save the country. Like the arguments against voting are the dumbest I've ever heard. Okay. And so I just think we have to, we have to challenge people that say they won't vote. Say, go do it. You'll wait in line for other things. And God bless you for voting early. Thank you. And I pray we win the state. God bless man. This is Clark County. Am I correct? Yeah. Okay.

Hi, Mr. Kirk. Sorry. I'm a bit nervous. Sorry. I'm an undecided voter. I consider myself a moderate. I think I ended up that way for a lot of reasons. For one, I am from rural North Carolina, which some would call a Trump country. But secondly, I am the son of Costa Rican immigrants, and I also identify as a member of the LGBT community. Because of this, I oftentimes in a way feel forced to lean left.

Could you please explain why under a Trump presidency it would be more beneficial to me than a Harris presidency? Absolutely. First of all, give it up. What's your name? Brad. Brad, thank you. Let's give it up for Brad. I also have my mail-in ballot right here. Wow, he's taunting me with that. Show the audience. That's his ballot right there. Give it up for him. He's going to make me earn this here. So, Brad, let me ask you, when you look at the issues, what issues matter most to you? Owning a home?

economy job. Tell me what matters most to you. Well, I guess obviously, like how you said, owning a home, the economy especially. I ran out of scholarship money, so my parents are having to pay for my education out of pocket now. So that's one, the economy, obviously. Owning a home is, I guess, a little bit more of a future issue. And obviously, immigration is a little bit near and dear to my heart. My parents weren't citizens at 1.2. I remember, you know,

growing up not always being middle class, so stuff like that. Great. So first and foremost, I want to make sure you're clear on President Trump's position, very much against illegal immigration, but he thinks the way your parents came was admirable and noble. I just want to make sure we're very clear on that. What specifically do you consider, I guess, legal? Well, so I would imagine your parents came from Costa Rica. How did they enter the country? They...

On a plane? Yeah, on a plane. Great. So they came legally. Okay, great. So there's a big difference between that and going to the southern border and just jumping and running into the country. Okay? But let's talk about the economy. And I want to just encourage you to depersonalize this election. So when you go and vote, don't even think about Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. Instead, when you vote, you're actually voting for 5,000 people that are going to run your government, that are going to run all the different agencies. So Donald Trump is assembling...

a once-in-a-generation bipartisan unity team of people that are going to run the government, including Democrats, independents, and centrists. For example, Bobby Kennedy, the first Kennedy ever to endorse a Republican who ran for the presidency as a Democrat. And he endorsed Donald Trump because he believes Donald Trump would be best on issues he cares about, including public health, censorship, and free speech. Tulsi Gabbard has now endorsed Donald Trump. I'm not sure if you're familiar with her.

Yeah, she is the former co-chair of the Democrat Party and also ran for the presidency. So Donald Trump has two former Democrat presidential candidates that have endorsed him. And finally, I don't know if you'll find him compelling, but definitely one of the most, let's say, creative and productive entrepreneurs, Elon Musk, who has endorsed Donald Trump, who, of course, is behind Tesla, Starlink. And I will say you're from Western North Carolina, right? Yes.

Where you're from, they have Internet access, thanks to Elon Musk and Starlink, actually, largely. So this team of people have come together and endorsed Trump because it's more about the 5,000 people that run the government than not. What Kamala Harris has exhibited over the last couple of years is an agenda where it's harder to own a home,

Hyperinflation is crushing people. And also, we have mass illegal immigration on the southern border. So I would encourage you when you go and vote, say, wow, the guy that has two former Democrat candidates together are going to represent you. And I can understand because of the identifications you listed, you might be thrown to the left. I'm here to tell you that there's a place for you in our movement, and we'd love to earn your vote for Donald Trump today.

Can I offer just a quick rebuttal? Please. Not that what you said was untrue, but I am a journalism major, so I feel like I have to ask a follow-up question. True journalist. Kamala Harris also has people like, I know you've talked about Liz Cheney and other Republicans that have endorsed her. Could you tell me? It's a great follow-up. I'm glad that the distinctions are so dramatic.

I don't know how you feel on this, but I'm guessing you think that the invasion of Iraq and the Afghanistan war was not a great thing. Probably? No. Well, Liz Cheney and her family were the architects of those invasions. So Kamala Harris is actually associating herself with John Bolton, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Leon Panetta, who are the most aggressive...

warmongers of DC where Donald Trump is assembling himself with people that are promoting peace, such as Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy. So you're right that the Democrat Party is creating their own unity, but it's more like a uniparty than a unity ticket. It's more about invade the world, occupy other countries where Donald Trump has ideas that are far more consistent with traditional citizen-led values of this country.

Thank you so much. And I won't say who I'm voting for, but when I decide, just in case, can I have a hat? You can have a hat. Give it up for Brad, everybody. Hi, Charlie. There's been a lot of talk today about limiting legal immigration, completely cutting out illegal immigration until America can deal with its internal problems.

But how do you propose we deal with the estimated 10 to 20 million illegal aliens that are already in the country? And do you think this is a problem that a Trump administration or any administration for that matter can begin to deal with? Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, that's why there has to be a deportation effort. But it starts with the people who committed crimes. Right. So there are hundreds of thousands of individuals that have committed crimes on newcomer status and they must be returned to their country of origin. And then you must go through a process for the rest and, you know, figure that out.

Could I add one more point? How would you propose we deal with countries, and there are probably going to be a lot of them, I'd assume, that have no interest in taking back criminals? That's a great question. This is where America can use its incumbency. They all need American foreign aid. There's something that they need from America. We're the wealthiest country ever. So let's just use one example. Let's say El Salvador, which is actually a very safe country now, by the way. El Salvador has figured it out.

El Salvador will not say no to America. They're like, hey, you use your dollar as the reserve currency status. You're going to play ball here. America can use a carrot. It can use a stick. And since we have the power of incumbency being the richest country ever, we rarely ever use that anymore. But under this issue, we should. And I think that's a really, really smart question. Thank you very much.

Hey, Charlie. My name's Luke. Shout out my boys in the back. Which ones? UGA track and field and cross country. Oh, okay. I thought you were pointing to the Harris-Walls people. No, no, no. Actually, yes. Actually, yes. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. What do you run in track? I do long distance. Awesome. I did long distance. Not anymore. That's rough. That's tough stuff, man. Yeah. Anyways, my question for you was personally...

I have never liked Trump, and I am planning on voting for Harris in the upcoming election. I haven't done it yet, but I will. Or I think I will. And, um...

My question is, Trump talks a lot about his policies about the tariffs with these foreign countries. I'm sure you've talked about it earlier today, but I wasn't here. How can you explain to me that these tariffs will not increase inflation in the U.S. more? Yeah, it's a good question. First of all, many of the tariffs, almost all of them that Donald Trump put in place, Biden kept because they're very good. Let me ask you a question. It's not a gotcha question. How does one avoid a tariff?

That's okay. If you make the product in America, then it's tariff-free. And so what you do is you drive domestic production. So let me give you one example that you guys all might be able to relate to. Who here has seen or knows a Toyota pickup truck? Every hand's going to go up, right? Very popular, right? So Toyota is a Japanese car company. And Lyndon Baines Johnson put on a significant, I believe it's 25%, pickup trucks tariff all the way back in the 1960s.

It was this kind of arbitrary thing. If you make a pickup truck, it has to be made in America or else it's 25%. Where does Toyota make all their pickup trucks? Here, in America, actually. And so what it does is it drives domestic production and employs more Americans.

Rising wages. Because on the inverse, what have we seen over the last 40 years? The last 40 years, we've seen mass deindustrialization. We saw the decaying of the inner part of the country. And there was a deal that was cut. And the deal that was cut is that we're going to shut down American factories. We're going to then re-import all the stuff that we used to make here into the country, a bunch of plastic and cheap stuff, and make us wealthier. Turns out that never actually materialized. Okay, but what I was trying to say is like,

These countries like China and I guess, where else? Korea, where they do like, we get like cheaper labor from. Yeah, Vietnam, Laos, India. So if you bring the production back to the U.S., will it not cause these items to increase in price?

They might modestly increase in price, but it will be made by an American. And I will say this, but it will be a higher quality good. I think we can all agree that you would rather pay a little bit more for less stuff if it's made in America, if it's higher quality. So it's going to be more expensive then? Not by definition, though. That's what you just said, though.

It could be. Again, it could be. But let me give you just like a theoretical example, which is if you are going to buy, you know, a clothing, not even just a clothing item, but any product, would you, does it matter where it's made at all to you? No.

Okay, so that's where we disagree. I think I actually try to buy American whenever I can, and maybe I'm a sucker for that stuff. I know for you, but there's some people that like, I know for me and you and probably most people here, a little bit price difference won't make a difference, but that's the whole point of what Kamala Harris is campaigning about is for the middle class people who aren't as lucky as us. Yeah, she's not. I'm just going to tell you right now. She's not? No, it's all a bunch of lies, actually. It's a lie? How is the middle class done under her?

She's not president. Well, she is vice president. Yeah. So then she said she wouldn't do anything different than Joe Biden.

Yeah, but I watched it. I know the interview you're talking about. No, it's like four or five times she said that. Okay. And so let's just be very clear. She said she won't do anything different than Biden. By the way, just to work clear, she's receiving more money from billionaires than Donald Trump. This whole thing that she's going to like fight for the middle class is a fraud. She's explained her tax brackets that will help lift up the middle class. Will it not? No. I mean, again, you're falling for propaganda because here's the thing.

How did the middle class do under Donald Trump? The middle class had a renaissance the likes of which we've never seen before in American history. Under Biden-Harris, the middle class has gotten crushed. But here's how you actually make products cheaper. The number one thing that is driving inflation, two things, energy and cheap money. You stop the over-excess of government spending and you drill, baby, drill.

But again, I would just ask the question, if Kamala Harris was going to do all those things, why hasn't she done any of that in the last four years? I mean, there's nothing really for her to do as vice president. I don't know really what you expect her to do. Well, hold on. Right now she could say, let me just give you one example. She could tweet out, I am instructing the Internal Revenue Service to no longer collect tax on tips.

But she won't do that because she actually doesn't believe in it because she stole it from Donald Trump's campaign. She right now could say, I, as vice president, being in charge of the border and completely shutting down the border will not allow another individual into the United States of America. But she won't do that because she's using it as like a campaign rhetoric thing. And I would just encourage you to look at all the guesswork is done. When Donald Trump was president, the lower income earners actually saw their wages rise faster than the wealthy individuals.

You want to buy a home when Harris and Biden have been president? Average home prices are $135,000 a year in order to get a home. It was $75,000 under Trump. And I could tell you're coming after this in a really good way. I'll just say detach yourself from the paid for propaganda. This idea that Kamala Harris will fight for the middle class is nothing is a complete fabrication. You know who she will fight for? She'll fight for the foreigner that's invading the country.

She'll fight for, for example, like if you, if you break into America, you get a luxury hotel, you get taxpayer funded benefits and it routinely puts the American citizen and taxpayer last. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for your time. Appreciate the dialogue. Yeah, sure. Of course. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Yep. Uh, first of all, go dogs. I'm actually not in college. I'm a junior in high school. Um, but I want to say, um,

Shout out to my grandma. She actually drove me here. She's actually the executive director of Georgia Right to Life. I want to say also I am a Christian, so go Jesus Christ. That's my guy. But I wanted to say I have three younger siblings, two of which are 11 and almost three. So I wanted to say what's advice for steering them in the right direction kind of as they grow up in this next presidency era?

Just with all the LGBTQ propaganda and stuff, what do you think is the best way to steer them away from that, but with a Christian basis, I guess? It's a great question. By the way, good that a high school is here, so that's awesome. Put God first and try to make Bible reading a regular discipline in your family. And the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves, this is what you tell your siblings, the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves a promise in your nation, you know which one it is?

Is the commandment about honoring your father and mother? Exactly, yeah. Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in. You need to be an example to your siblings about honoring and submitting to your parents, even when it's difficult. And your siblings will have a better life if they submit to your parents, as long as your parents aren't abusive, which I can't imagine they are, right? And so it's going to be difficult, but your siblings will look at you about how you treat your parents, and that will keep your family closer together and closer to God.
