Chapter 2: How does Charlie Kirk view the current state of immigration?
They have to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt. Do they have a right to say, you know what, that baby in NICU, it's going to cost us 300 grand as all these machines. Do they have a right to pull the plug on that baby? Answer the question.
I don't think so, but do you think... Well, how is it any different than what it's in utero? Because it's not bodily autonomy. Do you think they would have a right to go pull someone random off the street and hook up the baby into that person's bloodstream because the baby would die otherwise? If the NICU machine doesn't exist, what do you think?
Okay, if the NICU machine didn't exist and you had to pull a random person off the street to save that baby's life... Again, none of that is even remotely relevant and hypothetical.
You're dodging this because you understand that the person... The answer is no, because it's not applicable to what I'm saying. But again, in some ways you're overthinking it, in some ways you're underthinking it. Let me just kind of end with this, that human development at its very core, irrefutably, starts at conception. I believe human life and human development start the same.
You can have your own thoughts on that, but human development, our process as human beings, start when our deoxyribonucleic acid as a zygote attaches to the uterine wall. That is when life begins. Like, irrefutably.
I'm not arguing that.
But allow me to finish, and then we'll get to the next question. Therefore, at every step of the process of development, you have the same human rights as when you're 18 or 30 or 40. And the most fundamental of all those rights is life. And if we cannot defend your life right, then what good are we defending all of your other rights? Final point.
So I still think, I really don't think it would hurt you to answer the original analogy. I think you see where it would go, that you can't infringe upon someone's bodily autonomy in order to save someone else's life. Do you agree with that?
Well, hold on, time out. Just so we are clear, we infringe on people's bodily autonomy all the time. Want me to give you an example? We drafted men into World War II to go fight for this nation. That infringed on their bodily autonomy. We told them that your time is not your own, your passion is not your own, you must go run onto Normandy Beach.

Chapter 6: How does Charlie Kirk suggest addressing the concerns of young people?
Okay, yeah, so an 85-year-old in an old person's home that has Alzheimer's, are they less of a human than you?
I didn't say that they were less of a human for having Alzheimer's. And to the question, because they have... Yeah, so people with Alzheimer's still have the capacity for subjective experience. I wouldn't say that... They can't remember anything. Memory isn't sentience, no.
It's a part of sentience, isn't it?
Yeah, it's not going to be the... I'm not going to say that the full capacity for sentience is going to be what grants them that moral consideration. I'm telling you that any level of sentience, which is why I hold a cautionary principle, but at any level of sentience is going to grant them moral consideration.
When does human development begin?
What do you mean, human life?
Human development.
It's going to be at conception, yeah.
That's human life.
