[00:00] hey everybody welcome to dad talk today

[00:02] we are live in tampa florida for turning

[00:04] point

[00:05] student action summit i'm sitting here

[00:06] with the man himself mr charlie kirk how

[00:08] are you doing great

[00:09] sorry it's been such a delay good to see

[00:11] you so no it's okay man i am so

[00:13] impressed with what you put together

[00:15] there

[00:15] and seeing the next generation that's

[00:17] coming up as a father

[00:18] it gives me a lot of hope we talked to

[00:20] some of your students this past weekend

[00:22] brilliant i mean some of the most

[00:24] brilliant people that we've talked to

[00:26] but

[00:26] i'm just curious man i mean what was it

[00:28] like starting this grassroots movement

[00:30] and getting out here and uh trying to

[00:32] teach these conservative values to our

[00:34] youth

[00:34] yeah i mean it's been an amazing journey

[00:36] the last couple years just to be able to

[00:38] see this grow it started as 100 students

[00:40] nothing before that actually and grow

[00:42] into this unbelievable event

[00:44] praise god right and it's growing and

[00:45] it's growing this is just the very

[00:46] beginning by the way

[00:47] we have to think much bigger as

[00:49] conservatives you know we want tens of

[00:50] thousands of people to gather for days

[00:52] about this i mean we have you know they

[00:55] have conferences about like nutritional

[00:57] supplements they have conferences about

[00:58] fitness where they have a hundred

[00:59] thousand people show up why don't we

[01:01] have that on the conservative side right

[01:02] and it's not just about the conferences

[01:04] by the way we're starting high school

[01:05] chapters we're starting college chapters

[01:07] we're doing things on the ground that

[01:08] are meaningful and that are lasting

[01:10] and it's truly an honor to be part of it

[01:12] now charlie you're a newlywed so yes

[01:14] what are some of the concerns that

[01:15] you've had about

[01:17] okay what are the some of the concerns

[01:21] that you had or that you see for society

[01:23] with

[01:23] fractured families with epidemic of

[01:25] fatherlessness as a young man going into

[01:27] a marriage

[01:28] what concerns did you have or what

[01:30] advice could you give to some of the

[01:31] members yeah i mean well

[01:32] i i first have to put it on parents most

[01:34] parents are absolutely terrible

[01:35] right they don't raise they don't raise

[01:37] young men at all or

[01:38] young women and there's that's just

[01:41] their i don't know what it is

[01:43] i can't quite diagnose it properly i'm

[01:44] sure there's been lots of ink spilled on

[01:46] that topic

[01:47] that's just generally true um also a lot

[01:50] of men

[01:50] in in america they don't really

[01:52] understand what it means to you know

[01:53] take responsibility

[01:55] at all or what it what it means to you

[01:57] know create things that are meaningful

[01:59] and secular society really is a non-stop

[02:01] propaganda arm

[02:03] for things that actually make you

[02:04] miserable and so

[02:06] my whole life i was told don't get

[02:07] married to your 35 you know

[02:09] don't you know don't tie yourself down

[02:12] what a lie it's an awful thing to say

[02:14] you should get married young and have

[02:15] lots of children

[02:16] and you know that's th i'm not really

[02:20] sure where this whole thing started

[02:22] to go like you know bow at the altar of

[02:24] corporate america right but it's a

[02:25] really disgusting thing

[02:26] and when these kids hear that like wow

[02:28] i've never heard that before

[02:30] and so uh you think feminism plays a

[02:32] role of course i mean yeah i mean third

[02:33] wave feminism is

[02:35] huge reason for that yeah totally and

[02:37] that's that's exactly right

[02:39] so yeah charlie if is there any

[02:41] direction that you've seen with the

[02:42] youth that you think that parents could

[02:43] really start to provide a little bit

[02:45] more with them as you've seen yeah i

[02:47] mean they need to be harsher on their

[02:48] kids

[02:49] yeah people absolutely yeah of course i

[02:51] mean they need to take their phones away

[02:53] they need to actually be parents and

[02:55] provide discipline for them i mean we

[02:57] talk about this a lot

[02:58] on our podcast but this kind of like

[03:00] bohemian parenting

[03:02] isn't working right like oh yeah just

[03:04] yeah they're gonna go raise themselves

[03:06] like actually no they're not right so

[03:08] you gotta start

[03:09] maybe the parents are they they don't

[03:11] care right right maybe parents are like

[03:13] whatever there's a lot of them that are

[03:15] that way

[03:17] i want to say thank you so much for your
