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.

Hi, Charlie. My name's Cameron. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about some contradictions that I heard in your arguments. So on the topic of foster care, you mentioned earlier that you were in favor of cutting social welfare programs, and that would include foster care because those people are dependent on it. So I don't understand how you could be pro-life. I But then after the kids are born, you're advocating for less social protections for them.
So I don't remember. Did I say I wanted to cut social welfare programs? Well, when did I say that?
When you said that people have an over-dependence on social welfare.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. On social welfare. Yeah, of course. Yeah. But foster care is a unique thing because these are kids that are not yet of the agentic age to be able to produce or get work. So obviously there's a role for foster care system, but it's incredibly broken. Let's be honest, the foster care system is one of the most broken, cruel and unusual portions of our government. So not necessarily a good one to be defending, but it should be completely blown up and reconstituted in a new form.
And I also think that foster care gets left behind in the whole argument because you're advocating for traditional family values, and that doesn't really include adopting a kid. It includes having your own nuclear family.
No, it does. Why would you say that?
Because so many foster kids are left behind. That was just the point.
Well, hold on. Them being left behind is a separate issue than adoption, right? So, correct? Correct. Because that's about child abandonment, not about people that want to adopt kids. So let me just give you the numbers. There are about a million abortions every year. There are about 3 million people on the adoption waiting list. So we can't adopt these kids fast enough out of the foster care system, right? Yes. So why is it we can't adopt them?
I'm not sure the answer to that question. You might say because we have a lack of families to adopt them.
No, actually, no, we have plenty. It's just bureaucratic red tape, really. It's incredibly hard to adopt a kid in America. Incredibly hard. Needlessly hard.
The second contradiction was about how you advocate for a limited government but think that the government should have the jurisdiction to kill someone.
Okay, well, I believe in a small but strong government. And for the record, I believe that someone who took a life should have their life taken.
Under every circumstance? Under most, yeah.
I think if you take a life, your life should be taken.
Okay. That was all I had.
But let me ask you a question. What do you think would be a just punishment for a murder of an eight-year-old?
I would say lock them up and make them pay for their mistakes in real time. But I understand that costs taxpayer money and everything, but I just am against the death penalty.
