Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

Alright, so when I first came here, you were talking to a man in blue, and I don't recall what you said verbatim, but you were talking about pro-life, and then you said there was a, like, to make a label of, like, killing people, and I, do you see how that could be a contradiction?
Charlie Kirk 1:35
I'm not sure what your question is. I don't want to go too back in time because I don't remember it, but what is your question?
Student 1:40
In pro-life, so you agree with prisons, right? Are you for or against the... I'm in favor of the death penalty. In favor. And so isn't that a contradiction of being pro-life?
Charlie Kirk 1:51
Okay, no. I mean, again, a baby in the womb.
Student 1:55
Oh, so it's different that way. Yeah, what crime has the baby committed? Okay, and what about preserving life?
Charlie Kirk 2:01
I'm very much in favor. And so killing somebody is... Again, that is justice because they did something that then warrants the reciprocity.
Student 2:09
Do you not believe in rehabilitation?
Charlie Kirk 2:12
I do to a certain extent. But if you take a life, I think your life should be taken. Yeah.
Student 2:17
And you said you agree with the statement, an eye for an eye.
Charlie Kirk 2:21
Generally. I think there's far more profundity to that statement than people realize. But I appeal more to the Christ standard, beyond an eye to an eye, turn your cheek to the other. But I do believe, I think there's a lot more to the Old Testament teaching of an eye for an eye than people realize. Can I tell you what it is? So you think of an eye for eye just as revenge. What it did is it showed that even if you're rich, even if you're poor, that no person's eye is worth another person's eye. It's a statement of human equality, meaning that even if you're rich, you don't get to take two eyes from somebody, meaning that you don't get to go beyond the limits of what is taken to you. Does that make sense? Yes, it does, and I agree.
Student 3:02
How I see it is an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.
Charlie Kirk 3:05
Yes, however, there's a teaching in the book of Leviticus, in Leviticus 19, that says that in the administration of justice... you shall never favor the rich or the poor, but you should basically have blind justice, if that makes sense, where justice in itself is what to every person is due based on what you did, not based on who you are, where you came from, where your father is, how much wealth you have. All right. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Appreciate it. Yes. Disagreements, guys, work your way to the front. Yes, sir. Or otherwise interesting questions.
Audience Member 2 3:36
Okay. So my quick question, but do you support multiple different types of questions? Yes, okay. Sorry. Do you think that Trump giving buyouts to air traffic control and FAA employees is a good idea, especially for all the plane crashes going on right now? I agree that the government is too bloated, but I feel like air traffic control is very important for safety and should not be cut, and instead look at alternatives. I will note, one of the things I know is that during COVID, the training center all employees have to go through in Oklahoma is closed, so it's going to take a while for new employees to get the four-year training to fill back up.
