Summary
In today's show I'm sharing my full speech and Q&A from Turning Point USA's AmericaFest — a deeply personal reflection on faith, authority, freedom, and the possibility of real transformation. I talk about my own journey to Christianity, the legacy of Charlie Kirk, the dangers of centralized power, and why cultural change can't be reduced to politics alone. The conversation moves through humor, repentance, free speech, addiction, and community, ending with questions from students about art, authority, and how to live with courage in a fractured world.
