Summary
What does it mean to be a citizen? Why is it special to be an American citizen? And what makes this republic worth preserving? In a speech sponsored by the Classical Conversations series live from Scottsdale, Arizona, Charlie spoke with a room full of home school families about all of these things and much more before taking their questions on a variety of topics—from tech to healthcare to biblical and spiritual citizenship and much, much more.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, happy Sunday. No advertisers in this episode. Thanks to you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Those you that support us at Charliekirk.com slash support. This is an event I did with classical conversations. More from them later in the episode schedule. We're actually going to sit down with the head of classical conversations. I think you'll really enjoy it. It was a homeschooling group. And I got to tell you, the smartest, most driven, determined kids that I talk to are homeschooling kids. So if you're a parent out there or a new parent, I want you to think deeply and pray about that. I'm very pro homeschooling. I talk to them about America and why they should care about America and they take their questions. It's a fun, unfiltered conversation. And you'll hear from the quality of the questions. No, these are not college kids. These are 11, 12, 13, and 14-year-old kids that ask questions as if they were 25 years old. Very, very impressive. If you want to get involved with Turning Point USA that helped co-sponsor this event, go to TPSA.com, sort of high school chapter, sort of college chapter today at TPSA.com, where we play offense to the sense of urgency to win the American culture war. |
