Alright, we want to get straight to questions here. We're going to maximize our time. We've had some great speakers today, haven't we? Alright, we want to get straight to the questions. First question right here. Hi Charlie, my name is Caitlin. I'm 19 and I am a Christian. And I wanted to ask just really quickly

about your testimony. And I understand that it can be a very time consuming question. So I was wondering if there was anything that you could just share quickly or maybe was there even just a person at the beginning of your journey that you found a lot of inspiration in

that brought you closer to the Lord? Yes, great question. So I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade in suburbs of Chicago at Christian Heritage Academy. It really was a series of teachers. And this is the importance of biblical and Christian education, where at a very young age, I was introduced to the gospel.

But around fifth grade, it was really presented that I am a sinner. There's nothing I can do to earn eternal life. And eternal life is a gift, and I accepted Jesus Christ to be the chairman of the board of my life and the most important decision I've ever made. And everybody, we must know Christ and make Christ known. In your friend group and in your circle, you should be sharing the gospel with your friends. You should be inviting them to church. You should be an ever-living witness for the gospel because the most important question that you will ever

answer in your life, it's not what will I wear, it's not even who will I marry. That's important but not the most important. The most important question is what? Who is Jesus Christ? The answer to that question is determinative and if you think Jesus was like a cool historical figure, it's not going to cut it. If you think he was kind of an interesting rabbi with a lot of points, it doesn't cut it. Jesus Christ is the savior of the world who died for your sins and my sins

as a suffering servant in the most brutal, humiliating way a human being could die in the ancient world. We do not have a modern equivalent of crucifixion in our world. Crucifixion was reserved for the worst of the worst criminals. Did you know that in the ancient world, Roman citizens were not allowed to be crucified? That it was only for foreigners, for really, really bad criminals. It was reserved for the worst of the worst. And Jesus Christ, our Lord, died a suffering death in a humiliating way for all of our combined sins and shortcomings, and accepting him as Lord and

Savior is the most important thing that we can do in our life. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Hi, Charlie. My name is Kayla. I'm from Austin, Texas and I wanted to say I'm very excited to be here. I have I guess advice and a question on if you know people, Christians specifically in your life, who say you're un-Christian-like or not a Christian, if you don't agree with what's going on with the immigration or illegal immigrants and they use Leviticus 19 33 through 34 as their argument to say you're on Christlike if you believe that illegal immigrant should be deported What would you say? To that well first of all, let's see how much they actually believe the Bible

So sale you want to talk about Leviticus 19. Do you know that in Leviticus 18? It says that a homosexuality is wrong and that a man shall not lay with another man Or you just try to cherry-pick Leviticus verses that fit your political agenda So if they believe that too then fine respect, but I find that and then finally Secondly if they're a Christian you should answer their question if they're not a Christian Just roll your eyes be like why do you who don't believe in what I believe, have to justify what I believe to you, where you're just trying to deconstruct my faith?

I think it's largely a waste of time. But if it's a Christian, that means well. So look, the verse, Leviticus 19.33 is, to love the foreigner because you were once a foreigner in their land. I think that's right, correct? Some approximating. So it is true. Throughout the Bible Bible the verses that are most used by

pastors when it comes to immigration is about loving the foreigner and loving that person that might come into your land. Interestingly in ancient Israel there were two different words for foreigner. I think it's like zur and mer. I could be wrong but it basically two, one word would mean that which assimilates and that which does not assimilate. But did you know there's an equal amount of verses that that person might not tell you like Deuteronomy 28, I think that's about right, where it says, be careful who you let into your gates because they one day can become your masters.

The whole idea of borders is a Christian and biblical idea. Let's look at one of my favorite books of the Bible, which I think is Trump's favorite book of the Bible, because it's all about building the wall. It's literally called, it's build the wall. It's the book of Nehemiah. The entire book of Nehemiah is about building the walls around Jerusalem,

building the walls of Israel. Now, did they build the walls because they hated people outside or because they loved the holy covenant that God gave them and they needed to protect it against the threats outside? The whole idea though of expelling those in your land, it says very clear in the book of Deuteronomy that these are the guide stones of your nation.

If you are to move a single stone, you'll be expelled outside of the nation. So let's kind of go through the thinking when it comes to immigration, which is very important. We are a nation, and nations are a godly ideal. We know this because in Genesis 11, Nimrod wanted to create a city and a tower to his own name. We call this the Tower of Battle story.

And he says, I want to have a one world government all collected together. How did God respond to that? He scattered them amongst the peoples and the languages of the world. Nations and border states has always been a uniquely biblical idea. You see, the Roman Empire wanted to take over the entire world. Alexander the Great wanted to take over the entire world. The idea of boundaries and borders is actually rooted in humility. That we don't run the entire planet. That we have a jurisdiction that we are here to steward and we're here to look after. So now let's go to this issue

of justice and fairness. Also in Leviticus 19. It's funny. They love these Leviticus 19 You should say wait a second. What if I told you that in the administration of justice? You shall not favor a rich person or a poor person That's in Leviticus 19 Basically saying justice is blind so you should respond to your friend and say do you believe that when we administer justice the laws We should not gave give favor to poor people because they're poor. And if they say no, then they don't believe in Leviticus 19. Meaning immigration law must be enforced to everybody regardless of the sob story that

they give. Otherwise, you do not have immigration law. Now, this might bother some people. They say, well, you know, they come into the country because they want a better life. Am I allowed to rob a bank because I'm hungry? Am I allowed to take my neighbor's stuff because I need it? No. In fact, stealing is wrong regardless of the story that you tell yourself. We are a nation of laws because we are a Christian country that believes that the law is a teacher and a law is a civil instrument towards a free and orderly society. Under no biblical

context is it God's wishes for our nation to have chaos and uneasiness or unruliness. Do you think that God smiles when 20 million people come into the country uninvited? When girls are sex trafficked across the southern border or the cartels are wreaking havoc over the border? Then understand there is a variety of laws that people break when they come across the southern border. 8 USC 1312, 8 USC 1325, 8 USC 1830. These are a variety of laws not just breaking into the country. Do you know that if you come into America by federal law, you have to then tell the federal government your address within 30 days and you have to do so every single year? And unfortunately, that is not done by a lot

of people that come into America they're in violation of law. interesting you should also say well Romans 13 we should submit to the rulers and authorities and the laws that are given and if so you're in defiance that so the point being is this the person who is doing that is they're cherry-picking Scripture because they think they're nicer than God. they're cherry-picking Scripture because they can't ever confront the God. They're cherry picking scripture because they can't ever confront the idea that if you break into somebody else's country,

you are a criminal and you should be returned back to your country of origin, period. You do not have a right to break into somebody's home. You do not have a right to cut in line. We're a nation of laws and finally we have a president that's enforcing those laws and every person that has broken into America, we returned back to their country of origin. Thank you very much.

That is allanjaxson.com. Again, that is allanjaxson.com. Hi, so I'm a high school student from Massachusetts and I've been following you for a very long time so I'm super excited to be here. I was wondering if you could clarify what the mission of this summit is, because it's a young women's leadership summit, and all of the women that spoke on that stage today and yesterday were there because they pursued a career. And a key takeaway that I took from most of the speeches, especially on Friday, was that

I should, quote, get married and have babies. Yeah, that's interesting. I wouldn't say all of them are there because they pursued a career, but maybe I'd have to think about the entire career. That's fine. Look, I mean, but you should actually, I could flip it on you. The people that have pursued a career are telling you to pursue kids. Maybe they know something you don't know.

Because they could actually tell you. So they're the ones that have all this career success and then they're also telling you maybe there's something more beautiful would you like to follow up? So I understand that but don't you think that they like had children and got married to their wonderful husbands because of their career like if they didn't pursue that career that wouldn't have happened I thought that one of the speakers today was really cool about this, and she talked a bit about how you can have a child and a family

while also pursuing your career. Amanda? Okay, yeah, and again, that's for every one person to decide, again, I'll just repeat the numbers that I said last night. If you are single by the age of 30, you have a 50% chance of never having kids. And if you are single by the age of 30,

you have a 50% chance of not getting married so you just have to prioritize you have to aim it you aim at what is right and what is good I think the purpose of this conference is whatever takeaway you want to have it's a resurgence of patriotism first and foremost of true femininity not this toxic type that is being pushed down of traditional norms and roles that if you want to be a mom you are a superhero and we want to roles that if you want to be a mom, you are a superhero and we want to encourage you and we want to promote that and we want to help you in that regard.

But I'll also tell you this, I hope that some of you guys walk away with a warning that a career-driven life is very empty. We have millions of young women that are miserable. You know the most miserable and depressed people in America are career-driven early 30-something women. It's not my numbers, it's the pure research numbers. They're most likely to say that they're upset, they're depressed, they're an antidepressants. Do you know who the happiest women in America are? Married women with lots of children, by far. Thank

you very much. Thank you. Hi, my name is Ellie Hurson. I'm a freshman at Reggie University. I wanted to thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom with us this weekend. You've impacted media and culture in powerful ways, but I'm wondering how can Christians in the arts,

journalism, and media reclaim their platforms effectively for the conservative movement and for Christ? Christians in the arts, journalism, and media reclaim their platforms effectively for the conservative movement and for Christ. How do we as Christians in media relate and connect to culture but yet not compromise our beliefs being in the world but not of it? Thanks.

That's a great question. I think there's a lot of examples of that that was on display from Lila Rose to my wife Erica to Allie Stuckey to Riley Gaines, which is we don't want you to just retreat from the culture and never come in contact with it, but go and occupy all of culture. We need more people that are artists and more people that are, you know, making films, but always bring the gospel alongside of you and bring the promise of

the gospel with you. That doesn't mean you have to make every movie, you know, about the nativity, right? But everything should have a couple key qualities. Is it good? Is it true? Is it beautiful? Does it lift people up or does it make them look down? Is this elevating? Is it in the pursuit of the holy? Does it make people think about the deeper things or does it bring them closer to the flesh or towards depravity? Wonderful question. Thank you so much. Yes.

Hi, Charlie. My name is Elizabeth. I'm from Fort Worth, Texas, and I'm 16. And my question is, how can I stay true to my values and beliefs when I'm openly criticized by teachers and professors who have control over my grades? Great question. So, you're 16, so I won't put you on the spot unless you want to, but why do grades matter to you? I have a career that I want to pursue as a military veterinarian.

Great. What is more important, character or career advancement? Currently character, but career is also highly important to me. Okay. So I'll tell you you this though that I don't think grades really matter at all that's just my own personal opinion. I think character matters a lot more than grades. I also think that if you get good grades fine it means absolutely nothing if you got good grades. I go to the group I visit the greatest colleges in America these kids are not wise they are not they have good grades fine whatever but they know almost nothing they have no wisdom there's a

difference between wisdom and knowing facts. Wisdom is the understanding of things that do not change. But look, you have a decision to make, and I'm not going to tell you the right or wrong decision. I'll present two options in front of you. Option A is you hide your beliefs and you kind of cut corners and you tell the teacher or the professor what they want to believe. Option B is you refuse to do that and you have a risk that your grades might be jeopardized and you stand for truth regardless of the cost. In option A your career will be better but you'll

quietly be miserable. In option B your career might take a detour but you'll end up figuring it out. That's what happens when you end up standing courageously. But you'll be able to be the same person in private that you are in public. You'll learn to stand up for yourself, and other people will follow suit. So you have a decision to make. And by the way, some people choose option A, and so be it. That's your path, and you've decided it. You have to live with those consequences and those choices.

And so the balance of those two things, and raise your hand if you think teachers grade you differently because you're Christian or conservative. Every single hand goes up. That, by the way, I hope parents you understand how sick that is in our country, like that we've created this kind of nonsense. You have to decide that. The younger the age you decide to do something courageous at a great cost, the better person you will become. If you have that fight at 16 instead of 60, your life will take a significantly different track. You will be lied to around people. They'll say, you must get good grades right now or else your career is over. That's just not

true. Instead, you know what will keep your job and will get you to move up? If your boss thinks that you're a person of high integrity, more so than high report card grades. A boss wants to find someone where they could trust you with their phone while they're giving a speech, that they can give the bank account information to.

That's a person of character. That's a person who's going to be consistent, who's going to be loyal, not necessarily somebody that can always write the essay the way they like. And finally, not all, but some teachers will actually respect you more if you stand up to them. Not all, but that's for your decision to make. Option A, option B. So choose wisely. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hi, my name is Raelyn. I'm 14 and I'm homeschooled. I know that you are very knowledgeable in what you talk about and what you debate with others. I'm just wondering a few books that you would recommend to high schoolers to read. Other than the Bible, great question. Okay, so for high schoolers, it's great. So, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

The second one, I hope gets applause, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel. Anybody? Little bit less. Phenomenal book, like a 10 out of 10, one of the most important books. It's actually not a Christian book, but it's incredibly Christian,

meaning it's not written by a Christian, but everything he's talking about is Jesus. It's a guy who lost his entire family in concentration camp, and he realized the most important thing in life outside of food and water is meaning. It's not sex, it's not fame, it's not, it's actual connection to a purpose above yourself, and that purpose of course we believe is Jesus. So Man's Search for Meaning would number two. The third one is you have to get parental permission for this one because it is you know you could laugh but it has a scene that some parents are not comfortable with and there's a way to actually read the book without the scene because actually not that important to

the book. 1984. There is a there is a look there is a there's a sex scene in it some parents you know it's actually not that important to the narrative, but the book itself is phenomenal. It's very important at a young age that young people are introduced to a non-political drama of tyranny that they can resonate with. And I think 1984 does that better than any other novel. Brave New World also does a very effective job of that. That's also very graphic too, so be careful. Everybody belongs to everybody, right? So Brave New World is also a good one. So that kind of gives you a little bit of, from Mere Christianity, anything by C.S. Lewis I recommend, but Mere Christianity especially. Mere Christianity

actually was originally delivered as radio addresses during the bombing blitz of London And it got turned into and translated into a book probably the best-selling Christian book of the last 100 years The last book I would I would recommend is that we lose so many young Christians To atheism and secularism because we are not armed them with the robust archaeological historical theological and philosophical and apologetic them, because we are not armed them with the robust archaeological, historical, theological, and philosophical, and apologetic basis of our faith. The best book to give a high schooler is called The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. Very, very good.

And then from a more political standpoint, I got a million different ones that you could read. But I would start there. And then finally, everybody here should be taking free Hillsdale College online courses, right? They are free of charge. Take at least the Constitution 101. The website, by the way, is charlieforhillsdale.com. That's Charlie, F-O is Charlie for Hillsdale comm that's Charlie F

Or Charlie for Hillsdale comm ch ar lae for Hillsdale comm it is Amazing they're free of they're free of charge No cost and you guys can learn as the top minds learn and so I encourage everyone to take that Constitution 101 course Especially you'll really enjoy it. Thank you so much. God bless you that Constitution 101 course especially. You'll really enjoy it. Thank you so much. God bless you. Go to wirefy.com.

That is whyrefi.com you can skip a payment every six months of 12 times that penalty so go to why refi.com that is why refi.com Hi Charlie, I'm Addie and I'm 14 I'm a freshman in high school and I was wondering as someone who has like a different opinion on college What would you say the pros and cons are because I'm interested in political journalism and what would your advice be?

Yes, so let me also speak to some of the young ladies here in high school where your top, if you are, who's here where your top priority, your top priority is get married and have kids, raise your hand. Okay, interestingly, I think there is an argument to bring back the MRS degree and no seriously and just be clear that's why you're going to college right don't lie to yourself like don't like I'm going I'm studying sociology no you're not we know why you're here and that's okay actually and that's a really good reason to go to college actually especially an SEC

school like you will find a husband if you have the intent to find a husband at Ole Miss. Like it's just going to happen, okay? Or wherever. Yeah, there you go, see? Or at University of Alabama. And but, there you go. But I always laugh because, and by the way, we should bring back the celebration of the MRS degree, which is, no, serious, I mean, if you think about it, like I say college

is a scam, but if you're gonna find your life partner, like that's actually a really good reason to go to college. You have a bunch of people that are single, you know, they're at the prime of their, you know, let's just say attractiveness. The dating pool is as robust as you'll ever find, and they all live together over a four year period. Like you don't get much better than that, okay?

It doesn't get better after college there. And so, yeah, you could go learn some stuff, that's fine, I guess, or whatever, just don't listen to your professors. But that actually was the reason why a lot of women went to college in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and it worked for a lot. Marriage rates have plummeted since then.

So you wanna be a political journalist, not just that. So I had to just get the MRS degree introduced there. Here's the thing about political journalism, is they'll teach you very little in college. Honestly, I'll just be honest about this. Like I always laugh when someone says, I studied journalism. I meet these journalists all the time. They don't know anything, right?

And these jobs will all largely be replaced. Nothing replaces journalism. Number one, there's two things in journalism that are missing the most. Commitment to truth overall and not narrative and courage. Those two things will make you a great journalist. They will not teach you that at college. And maybe you want the credential or whatever, but those two things, if you have an unwavering commitment to truth and courage, you think about it, during COVID, all of these people had journalism degrees and they lied to us about the masks, they lied to us about the lockdowns, they lied to us about six feet to slow the spread. How about all these people have journalism degrees that refuse to

cover Joe Biden's mental decline? All these people have journalism degrees and they lied to us about the Hunter Biden laptop. All these people have journalism degrees and they lied to us about the open border. They lied to us about the origin of COVID. And so if you want to learn how to be a propagandist, maybe go to a journalism school, but you yourself can become a journalist like today. You could hold your school board accountable. You can hold your school board accountable. You can hold your state representative accountable. What is the equation for a journalist?

Find something corrupt and tell the story. That's what makes a great journalist. Thank you so much. Hi, Charlie. My question for you is, as women who want to stay at home, but the economy of the last decades make that very hard, what are some current policy changes or solutions to encourage single income households?

That's the best question yet today. It's very important. I actually had a little bit of, let's just say a heated exchange a couple weeks ago where this woman is a, she's very sweet, but she had a perspective that I disagreed with. She's a stay at home mom, she's a homemaker on social media, and she wants to have other people be traditional moms, which I'm so for.

But I said, what is your argument if a woman has married a police officer and he's earning $60,000 a year and they have three kids. Like I'm sorry like that's just not gonna cut it in Dallas right or I mean I don't know what police officers make here maybe 70 75 right Don right the great Don Huffins by the way fully endorsed him and so this is a serious issue. The first answer is the man needs to do every everything imaginable that he possibly can to not force his wife into the workforce. It's easier said than done if

you work for as a firefighter or as a paramedic or if you work in a salary scale job where you will not reach high salaries for 10 or 20 years right or if you're like a football coach in Lubbock, Texas, or a high school football coach, that's tough, right? So what is the answer to that? Well, first, let me just say this. I think it's a tragedy that women who want to stay at home have to go work and they can't raise their kids.

I think it's an economic and societal and moral tragedy. And people say, Charlie, what does success look like for the political MAGA movement? I want it that moms can do what your mom did in the 1980s and 90s and stay at home if they want. If they want to go work, fine. Okay, great. You have the agency to do that. It's not about prohibitive. It's just, but right now it's actually reverse liberty. Everyone's like, oh, you have the liberty to stay at home. Actually, you don't have the financial liberty to stay at home.

The number one reason that I get that moms go back into the workforce, they go crying. They wish they could be at home a lot of them. But they're there because you literally cannot survive on less than like $120,000 a year in like the major Dallas metro area. Like the numbers just don't work, especially with three kids. And so we must be unafraid as a Republican conservative

movement to talk about this. What is the solution? Is it tax credits or all this? I think it's rising wages. I think it's growth. I think it's all that stuff. Actually, I don't know the solution as much. We have a tendency to figure things out if we get loud enough about the problem and I don't think

we've articulated this as a problem where literally 10 million women are forced back into the workforce and they have to hand their six month old baby over to strangers to raise their kid all day long and again if you use daycare I'm not judging you I'm actually feeling for you It's the opposite actually because I want to I want to have an economic system Where you don't have to worry about that in? 1985 you could support one one man could support a family of four with 37 weeks of work Now it requires 56 weeks of work for the man to support. Basically, there's not 56 weeks in a year.

So they have to go into debt, and the mom then has to basically go into the workforce. So I'm not sure, bringing down inflation on the cost of living will help, but I think we need to make this a major goal. Do you know the number one reason why couples do not have more than one or two kids? Economic. It's the number one reason that it do not have more than one or two kids, economic. It's the number one reason that is given in surveys. I think it's a little bit of an excuse honestly because you should have kids even if you can't, you should have more kids than you can afford honestly. But it's easier for us to say

that than for most people because they don't actually have the conviction a lot of people in this room have. They come from families that might have declared bankruptcy. They come from families they lost their business in 2008. So it's a major issue. I'm not sure of the solution, but we need to start being louder and louder about the problem. And one thing I love about JD Vance is he has made this a primary issue of his political career. Thank you. Hi Charlie. My name is Sarah. I'm from Colorado and I am a proud college dropout. Great! I'm currently working on getting my license in massage therapy and my certification in nutrition and I wanted to know how I as a 19 year old who's

not in college can be involved in the political scene and make an impact on young people. Well first of all you have found a job that will not be replaced by AI. So congratulations. So I hope anyone here who is career driven, I hope you understand that large language models and artificial intelligence are probably gonna take your jobs away in the next five to ten years. I'm just saying this is a displacement and a revolution economically that people have not even comprehended. Now you might find new jobs and you might find new ways to earn livings but this is

also one of the reasons why I say college is a scam. These kids are going into debt to study things that don't matter to go find jobs that will not exist in five years. So what can you do? Local Republican Party, stay involved with Turning Point USA. Show up to our events. Support your local Turning Point chapter. Give whatever money you can. Be an advocate. Be an activist.

Find a good church that speaks about these issues and support that church and be a light in that community around moral righteousness and truth and goodness. And then also, in your line of work, wherever you have an opportunity to share the gospel or share principled conservative teaching, that's a great opportunity to do that. So God bless you. Thank you so much. If you want to make sense of the change and the chaos happening around us, you're going to need God's help.

You kind of stole my thunder a little bit, but my question was going to be, how do you think AI is going to change the world over the next 10 years? There you go. And how can us as young Americans prepare for careers and to raise families in the world that's coming? Boy, I could give a whole hour long speech on this.

The first answer is we really don't know, but we know it's going to be dramatic. By the way, lawyers are already losing their jobs, radiologists are already losing their jobs. How many of you know people that actively use AI to write the essays at your high school or college? Parents, I hope you look around. Look around. People are not writing essays anymore.

Every hand goes up. So they're basically going to a chat processor. That's really bad. First of all, I tell any teacher and professor, you should tell the students that they can use AI whenever they want. All testing should be in-class testing with phones confiscated with a pen or a pencil in front of them. It's like, show me what you know.

You got no AI. So if you want to use AI at home to be a study guide, great. But you've got to come into the room and actually show me you've absorbed it and you know it and you can write. The era of at-home essay writing is dead. It is and it should by the way. For a long time it's invited cheating and procrastination and by the way that's not the way the world works right? You have to be able to perform. Anyway so AI is going to change a lot. We as Christians must be very clear that these are not human beings. This is mimicking human reason and human thought the

AI or whatever you want to say does not have a soul. It's gonna get dramatically more powerful and look from a parenting perspective I Highly encourage you to use AI for what it's good at and there's a lot that it's good at everybody Okay, one of our team members brothers Was not feeling well. This is a true story. He contacted like a local doctor.

He's like, hey, I'm kind of like bruised up and I kind of like feel, he's like, oh, come see me tomorrow the next day, we'll get you in. So then he'd still, he's like, I kind of feel funny, maybe I need to take a nap. Took a picture of himself, put the symptoms in a chat GPT. Within two seconds, got the symptoms in a chat GPT, within two seconds got the three red alert emojis, chat GPT said you must go to a hospital you will be dead

in six hours. Goes to the hospital, he had sepsis, big big bad right? Saved his life. It's not all bad, it's not all good. But chat GPT literally he's like chat, he's like to save my life? He's like, if I would have been to the doctor in two days, just, you know, sepsis where your body's attacking itself, like, you die quick. And then when they got to the hospital, they're like, it's a miraculous thing, even to save your life at that moment.

How'd he get sepsis? He cut his finger. It's like a very weird, freakish thing. Anyway, so, no, it's like, he cut a finger, didn't treat it, got infected, and his body started attacking itself. It's not all good, it's like very it's he cut a finger didn't treat it got infected and his body started attacking himself It's not all good. It's not all bad. It's a technology and it's a tool We have to be very prudent and very careful Here's what I'm most optimistic about we as Christians is that it is going to force the most important questions Into the public arena we can finally have the conversation of what is a human being finally

finally have the conversation of what is a human being. Finally, we have said since Christ, a human being is an image bearer with a soul made in the image of the divine. The secularists, the atheists, the materialists, you know what they say? Well, human being is just reason. Okay, well is Chachi Pitsy a human being? He can reason. He can do math better than you. He can write an essay better than you. He can even write a picture, draw a picture better than you. You can write an essay better than you. You can even write a picture, draw a picture better than you. You can write a song better than you. Is that a human being? Why not?

I thought it's all about consciousness. Well, it's not totally conscious. It has the performative aspects of a human being because it does not have a soul. It cannot forgive. It cannot love. It does not have compassion. And most importantly, it's not made in the image of the divine, and one day the AI will not see its creator. It's nothing more than a bunch of numbers in a little chip that's going back and forth very fast.

So look, everybody here needs to be on your guard about artificial intelligence. I believe this is going to be the greatest change of civilization that we have seen since that we went from agrarian to the Industrial Revolution, and it's going to happen even quicker and faster so buckle up but we as Christians everybody if you do not have a pastor that knows this problem talks about this problem and is willing to engage with it alongside abortion and transgenderism and the border leave that church and find a pastor because it's gonna get very real very quickly thank you very very much. Final thoughts guys. I want to make sure you guys understand the significance. This is our 10th annual Young Women's Leadership Summit.

What matters most is what you do when you leave here. Start a Turning Point USA chapter. Literally I encourage all of you, if you feel fired up and you want to get involved, go start that TPUSA chapter. Find out how you could pursue a career potential at Turning Point USA. Make this the starting point. And if you want to make career your focus, you have the agency to do that. But also, most importantly, I hope there is some affirmation for you out there. Because look, career affirmation, that's not lacking in society but I hope simultaneously those of you that kind of feel a knot in your stomach you're like I want to be a mom I want to

raise kids that is awesome and I hope you leave here not with guilt or shame but with a sense of confidence that you can go to the world that you're going to do the most important thing which is to raise godly children in this world because far too often young ladies tell me they say I don't know you know if if I become a mom if I get married my family will be upset you should always have the confidence that that is the right thing the biblical thing and the courageous thing that's the last note that I will give you. We are biblically commanded, even if your parents are liberals, even if your parents, you don't like your parents,

unless your parents abuse you and are like in prison. The only commandment that involves your nation and a promise is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in. For the rest of your life, it's good for you and good for your parents to honor your parents. Because if you cannot honor your earthly father, you will not be able to honor your almighty father. God bless you guys.
