Speaker 3: right Side Radio Show.
Speaker 7: It sir, it's good to be here. Can't wait to
Speaker 7: get started.
Speaker 3: Well, Carson, I know that this is your second year
Speaker 3: at Southern Miss. You're you're very active there. You're a
Speaker 3: member of the band there at Southern Miss, the Pride
Speaker 3: of Mississippi. Uh, and you've had one year already of
Speaker 3: four year college. Tell me a little bit about the
Speaker 3: experience the highs and the lows of leaving high school
Speaker 3: and going off to college.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, so, you know, high school it's kind of a
Speaker 7: little bit more of a smaller world or with the
Speaker 7: same people every day. I mean, being in college, it's
Speaker 7: definitely a lot different in the bigger world, is a
Speaker 7: lot more people, it's a lot more spread out you're
Speaker 7: dealing with. You know, it's a different They treat you differently.
Speaker 7: In high school you're overshre like a kid. But in
Speaker 7: college and that you're an adult, your teachers treat you differently.
Speaker 7: You're kind of out on your own. No one's there
Speaker 7: to really almost hold you accountable. So it's definitely different
Speaker 7: than then. But I mean it's it's great. I love it.
Speaker 3: It's probably a little harder but also a little bit
Speaker 3: more liberating in the sense that you have to manage
Speaker 3: your own time and make sure you get all your
Speaker 3: assignments done.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you know, it's kind of have a little bit
Speaker 7: of free wheeler kind of out on your own and
Speaker 7: do whatever you want to, but you also got to,
Speaker 7: you know, get your stuff done.
Speaker 3: Now. Of course, being at a university, there's also liberals
Speaker 3: everywhere now, even here in Mississippi. I know that surprises
Speaker 3: people to hear that our universities aren't necessarily the bastions
Speaker 3: of conservative principles and what have you. Is there anything
Speaker 3: you've encountered early on. We'll go to last year, you know,
Speaker 3: some of the things that first caught your attention your
Speaker 3: first year there at Southern mess Yeah.
Speaker 7: So my freshman year I was a music education major.
Speaker 7: I mean, the whole like music world, honestly is very liberal,
Speaker 7: and I think that was kind of my first introduction
Speaker 7: to all of it. And I said, I always heard
Speaker 7: stories about how liberal college campuses are, and I guess,
Speaker 7: like I said, I don't really believe it. Being you know,
Speaker 7: to Southern Miss. I don't really thought how bad it
Speaker 7: would be. They got into one of my classes and
Speaker 7: I realized people pushing agendas and pushing narratives that I
Speaker 7: didn't believe in, and it was almost if you didn't
Speaker 7: believe in it, you almost got treated differently. It was
Speaker 7: definitely very eye opening to me to really see what
Speaker 7: people were really talking about and kind of taking my
Speaker 7: own perspective and seeing the things and just how I
Speaker 7: think it's just wrong.
Speaker 3: It was just it was.
Speaker 7: It was definitely eye opening. It was it was, it was.
Speaker 3: It was weird.
Speaker 7: Oh, I have to say it was weird.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I myself went to Southern miss as well, and
Speaker 3: I was a journalism major, so you can imagine how
Speaker 3: many conservatives I ran into as a journalism major. So
Speaker 3: I understand where you're coming from now. I was a
Speaker 3: bit older when I went to Southern MISS. I didn't
Speaker 3: go there straight out of high school, so it was
Speaker 3: easier for me because I was already pre setting my ways.
Speaker 3: Tell me something that you've encountered that maybe and I
Speaker 3: know that you haven't changed your belief structure, But tell
Speaker 3: me something where you might have felt challenged to defend
Speaker 3: your beliefs. I think we lost Carson, So let me
Speaker 3: pause here and say we can get him right back. Well, Carson,
Speaker 3: I know I lost you there for just a second.
Speaker 3: Did you hear my last question there?
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you go to repeat that, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My question was, you know, I know that you're
Speaker 3: still preset in your ways. I know that your your
Speaker 3: ideology hasn't changed any But tell me any incidences you
Speaker 3: you might have encountered were maybe you felt challenged to
Speaker 3: defend your beliefs. Is Has there been any incidentss like
Speaker 3: that occur? Was it with a student? Was it a
Speaker 3: member of faculty?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Absolutely so. Also my first or second semester last year,
Speaker 7: I was taking American Government and the whole class was
Speaker 7: kind of set up for open discussion, open debate, which
Speaker 7: I really liked. I remember one day I tried to
Speaker 7: you know, I tried not to get to but we
Speaker 7: were talking about abortion in class and several students made
Speaker 7: claims and it was I just couldn't. I could pull
Speaker 7: myself any longer. And it was it was definitely it
Speaker 7: was interesting getting to debate students. Teacher kind of stood
Speaker 7: away from it and didn't really get too involved. But
Speaker 7: I'm you know, there was times I had to get
Speaker 7: I had to get shut down by the teacher because
Speaker 7: I was getting a little too riled up. Yeah, it was,
Speaker 7: it was pretty it was fun. I liked it.
Speaker 3: Did the teacher ever have to shut down the other
Speaker 3: side or was it just your side that got shot down?
Speaker 7: Oh? It was. It was definitely both sides, both sides.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you had a good teacher in that
Speaker 3: instance who actually understands that the college setting is a
Speaker 3: debate setting that is okay. That seems to not be
Speaker 3: the trend on most college campuses and in most college
Speaker 3: classrooms nowadays, to where instead of having an actual debate,
Speaker 3: it turns into a shouting mouche, And if you're a conservative,
Speaker 3: it's an attempt to try to silence your voice. Have
Speaker 3: you ever, I know you're limited time there, have you
Speaker 3: come across any times where you felt like there was
Speaker 3: an attempt to silence what you believed?
Speaker 7: So? Yeah, So when I was taking an intro to
Speaker 7: music education class my second semester, and one part of
Speaker 7: it we had to teach a folk song, and I
Speaker 7: remember I was gonna bring my guitar and teach a song. Well,
Speaker 7: the teacher put up this website of a list of
Speaker 7: songs that we could not, like teach could not perform,
Speaker 7: and I were going through the list and it's being shocked.
Speaker 7: I mean, I saw amazing grace on there. The National
Speaker 7: Anthem served on this old spiritual hymns that I, you know,
Speaker 7: grew up singing and grew up listening to that were
Speaker 7: supposedly too radical or too sexist or whatever, too vulgar
Speaker 7: ice of right. It just made it made no sense
Speaker 7: to me as why those specific songs cannot be saying.
Speaker 7: I think the one that really got me was like
Speaker 7: the National Anthem, that's the that's a song that I'm
Speaker 7: proud of. And then seeing that on the list of
Speaker 7: songs that are bad was it was shocking to me.
Speaker 3: What's an American universe? So you would think the National
Speaker 3: Anthem would be okay, but that was deemed too offensive, right?
Speaker 7: You would think it was.
Speaker 3: There any songs that were okayed that you questioned as well?
Speaker 7: I don't think there was any more. I know the
Speaker 7: song I did was an old like bluegrass standard song.
Speaker 7: I remember I got my guitar and played it. Well whatever. Afterwards, Uh,
Speaker 7: teacher goes someone someone in this class is gonna be
Speaker 7: really upset with me. I was like, huh okay, and
Speaker 7: then he says the name of my song and it's
Speaker 7: Readi's article about how bad it was, and it's one
Speaker 7: of those I've listened to the song a million times
Speaker 7: and never thought of anything any of the words being bad.
Speaker 7: And it was like, what does he shut me down
Speaker 7: and almost made me feel like I had to redo something,
Speaker 7: and it was it kind of really is maybe.
Speaker 3: Mad, but it wasn't on his band list. So why
Speaker 3: why did he feel the need to call you out that?
Speaker 7: That's a great question?
Speaker 3: Did you did you ask afterwards? Or was it one
Speaker 3: of those you knew it wasn't even worth your time asking.
Speaker 7: I wasn't worth my time. The teacher was very, very
Speaker 7: set in his beliefs and it just wasn't worth an argument.
Speaker 3: Look, I'll tell you probably did the right thing, because
Speaker 3: I had a history teacher that told me after class
Speaker 3: one time I needed to drop his class despite having
Speaker 3: a passing grade, because I challenged him on something he
Speaker 3: was trying to say in the classroom, and because he
Speaker 3: couldn't argue his point. He wanted me out of the class.
Speaker 3: So I definitely will say you probably made a wiser
Speaker 3: decision than I did in that instance. But it's it's
Speaker 3: got to be frustrating because again, you did the assignment.
Speaker 3: You didn't challenge him on any of the absurd band songs,
Speaker 3: but the song you picked, he decided to go nitpick
Speaker 3: and find something wrong with it. That that has to
Speaker 3: be frustrating from a student because I'm I can only
Speaker 3: imagine that you put a lot of time and effort
Speaker 3: into that assignment.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: So again, you know that's that's definitely one instance. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm sure that as I understand, you're a part of
Speaker 3: a couple of organizations there on campus, conservative organizations. Are
Speaker 3: you a member of the College Republicans?
Speaker 7: So just recently I did join their College Republicans. You know,
Speaker 7: it's been sales like a few weeks ago, so we
Speaker 7: haven't really been schooed to start. I haven't really got
Speaker 7: into things and doing anythings with that, gotcha.
Speaker 3: And of course I think that you've joined the Turning
Speaker 3: Point organization. I don't know if you joined it before
Speaker 3: or after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Uh, but you're a member
Speaker 3: of the Turning Point organization there on campus as well,
Speaker 3: aren't you.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So, actually, I mean several weeks before the whole
Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk situation happened, I was talking to my dad
Speaker 7: about it, and I really wanted to start a chapter
Speaker 7: at Southern miss And I did some research and I
Speaker 7: could not find that we had a chapter at Southern
Speaker 7: So I went through Turning Points website, filled out a
Speaker 7: bunch of stuff to start one. And then one day
Speaker 7: I was just scrolling through Instagram and it was after
Speaker 7: like a few days after Charlie Kirk had been assassinated,
Speaker 7: and I saw an Instagram post from Turningpoint USA at USM,
Speaker 7: and they were founded, Oh how long ago it was.
Speaker 7: They'd kind of been a little inactive, and then once
Speaker 7: the assassination happened, they kind of kicked things back up.
Speaker 7: And I immediately jumped in and tried to get involved
Speaker 7: as much as I can.
Speaker 3: With that, I understand, And of course, you know, being
Speaker 3: a student and seeing someone like Charlie Kirk who was
Speaker 3: willing to embrace what a university, what a campus setting
Speaker 3: is supposed to be. To go onto a campus and
Speaker 3: have conversations, to have debate and actually sit there and
Speaker 3: give you a microphone and let you sit up there
Speaker 3: and agreed, disagree, and give you that platform. It seemed
Speaker 3: like all Charlie was doing was just trying to have
Speaker 3: open dialogue. Isn't that the way how you kind of
Speaker 3: saw it?
Speaker 7: Absolutely? I mean, I think, you know, the first of
Speaker 7: miment right kind of free speech, and I think kim
Speaker 7: going on college campuses and tasing people's beliefs and Maggi
Speaker 7: people actually think for themselves. I think that was something
Speaker 7: that's very important for you know, my generation. A lot
Speaker 7: of people just see things online, see things on the news,
Speaker 7: just immediately believe it, don't put their own thought into it,
Speaker 7: and don't think for themselves and make their own decisions.
Speaker 3: Tell me what you know again, Where were you when
Speaker 3: you heard the news that Charlie Kirk had been shot
Speaker 3: and then ultimately killed on that campus there in Utah.
Speaker 3: Tell me about that day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a It was a Wednesday, and I
Speaker 7: was sitting in the cafeteria at Southern with some of
Speaker 7: my fraternity brothers. We were eating lunch, just talking and
Speaker 7: had normal conversations and one of my buddies pulls out
Speaker 7: his phone and it tells me it's like Charlie Kirk
Speaker 7: just got shot. And at first I was like, there's
Speaker 7: no way. I didn't I didn't believe it. For I
Speaker 7: my fault. I wanted my dad text me. I saw
Speaker 7: fifteen so notifications from news, outwits and everything people texted me,
Speaker 7: and it was it was unbelievable. It just seemed unreal
Speaker 7: to think that something like that could have happened.
Speaker 3: I know my first thought because it was a group
Speaker 3: text that I have with a couple of friends, one
Speaker 3: of them being your dad. One of the friends sent
Speaker 3: us a video. It was from a long range and
Speaker 3: I'm like, is this real? And then I think it's
Speaker 3: your dad found the closer video that unfortunately most of
Speaker 3: us have seen, and then you knew it was way
Speaker 3: too real, and it was I think at the moment
Speaker 3: I saw that video, I realized this wasn't going to
Speaker 3: have a happy ending.
Speaker 7: Yeah right.
Speaker 3: Tell me what your your first thoughts were when you
Speaker 3: when you saw and heard the news that Charlie had
Speaker 3: ultimately been killed.
Speaker 7: Yes, I mean, and I heard about it and it
Speaker 7: was just hard to believe. And like you said, I
Speaker 7: saw that video and At first, I was like, there's
Speaker 7: just no way. I mean, it's gotta be AI or something.
Speaker 7: It can't be real. And then I went on Twitter
Speaker 7: and Instagram then started seeing like Fox News Post and
Speaker 7: bright Bart and all these nudes outwits, and that's when
Speaker 7: it get really hit me. It was like, oh, we
Speaker 7: grab that it really happened. And it was just hard
Speaker 7: to believe that somebody who was just voicing their opinions
Speaker 7: on something and helping out so many others just got
Speaker 7: killed like that. It was hard to believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was actually recording a special episode talking about
Speaker 3: the fact that he had been shot when the announcement
Speaker 3: came over that he ultimately was killed. And it still
Speaker 3: blows my mind. And the fact that someone on a
Speaker 3: college campus, assuming that the official story is the true story,
Speaker 3: that someone could become so radicalized to the point that
Speaker 3: they felt that the best course of action was to
Speaker 3: kill him and not sit there and debate him, not
Speaker 3: sit there and challenge his beliefs, but they felt like
Speaker 3: they had to in his life so that way his
Speaker 3: voice could be taken away from him.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, as a conservative, does that
Speaker 3: give you any pause to want to continue to speak
Speaker 3: out or be be active in the conservative movement.
Speaker 7: If anything, it's such fire under me. I mean, I
Speaker 7: remember after it happened and I found out that we
Speaker 7: did have a turning Point chapter. I'm in a pie
Speaker 7: cap of five for Turnity at Southern miss And I
Speaker 7: immediately texted in our little group chat. I was like, hey,
Speaker 7: there's a turning Point chapter. I think we all should
Speaker 7: join it, all get involved. And I had about ten
Speaker 7: or fifteen guys joined with me. So, I mean, we've
Speaker 7: we've all been trying to do as much as we
Speaker 7: can and like to not be silenced. So I think
Speaker 7: it's it's important for us not to be because if
Speaker 7: we if we are silence and we do stop talking
Speaker 7: about it, you know, the other side wins, and that's
Speaker 7: that's not what needs to happen.
Speaker 3: Well, tell me a little bit about you know, what
Speaker 3: drove you to being a conservative Because a lot of folks,
Speaker 3: younger folks, they tend to lean a little bit more
Speaker 3: liberal than conservative, just maybe because they haven't lived life
Speaker 3: the way that they should. But you, being a younger
Speaker 3: person that is already fully invested in the conservative belief
Speaker 3: tell me what appealed to you and drove you to
Speaker 3: become a conservative.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So I think my two biggest inspirations as far
Speaker 7: as my political views is number one by dad Nae
Speaker 7: definitely number two center Chris McDaniel. I remember my dad
Speaker 7: running for Superintendent of Education when I was four or
Speaker 7: five years old. I remember being on the campaign trail
Speaker 7: with him going into the rock one of four office
Speaker 7: and recording to add for and when I was, you know,
Speaker 7: a young kid, and it just always it's always been,
Speaker 7: It's always been part of my life, honestly, and it
Speaker 7: was I didn't really know anything else, and it was
Speaker 7: something that I truly loved and gravitated to, like I
Speaker 7: will never forget, you know, twenty fourteen being I think
Speaker 7: I was seven or eight years old with my dad
Speaker 7: passing out Christian Daniel signs and knocking on doors, and
Speaker 7: it's just always been a huge part of me. And
Speaker 7: then when Chris mc daniel ran for Lieutenant governor, kind
Speaker 7: of being in the war room Den on the Coast
Speaker 7: and seeing all the results come in. It's something that
Speaker 7: I've just truly truly loved. And seeing the whole the
Speaker 7: conservative movement and seeing how you know, the establishment tries
Speaker 7: to shut us down. It just it's one of those
Speaker 7: kind of just really makes you mad, and it makes
Speaker 7: you just want to do more and continue to push
Speaker 7: your narrative. And it's just something that I've always truly
Speaker 7: believed in and something that I think everybody else seems
Speaker 7: to see.
Speaker 3: You can talk about Chris. He was there on your
Speaker 3: campus yesterday at the Charlie Kirk Prayer Visual and of
Speaker 3: course it was sponsored by that Turning Point chapter that
Speaker 3: you're a part of. I understand you weren't able to
Speaker 3: attend it yesterday, but have you since gone online and
Speaker 3: watched Chris's speech.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend, and I've not
Speaker 7: yet had the time to go, and I think there
Speaker 7: was a live stream. I haven't had the time yet
Speaker 7: to go back and watch. I'm definitely going to do
Speaker 7: that soon.
Speaker 3: You know, Chris pretty much spoke on the fact that
Speaker 3: we've got to continue to fight and spoke highly of Charlie.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard the last episode or
Speaker 3: it was also the last episode or the one of
Speaker 3: the last episodes of Chris McDaniel's America where he kind
Speaker 3: of turned it over to me and let me run
Speaker 3: an interview with him, and Chris knew Charlie, you know,
Speaker 3: that was somebody that he actually knew, and you know,
Speaker 3: to ask him that same question, does it give you pause?
Speaker 3: Does it make you want to back away? He said
Speaker 3: absolutely not. And I think that that's very telling that
Speaker 3: a lot of us that have platforms that have microphones
Speaker 3: that we're not running away because we're scared somebody might
Speaker 3: come after us. And I think that that's important that
Speaker 3: young people like you maintained that as well, because we've
Speaker 3: got to have folks like you that are willing to
Speaker 3: jump in this fight. Because I hate to say it,
Speaker 3: but we're getting older. We're about getting ready to hand
Speaker 3: the torch to you guys and see, uh see, you
Speaker 3: guys take it to the next level. What do you
Speaker 3: think of that? Do you think you're ready to take
Speaker 3: on the take the torch and run with it.
Speaker 7: I think I've definitely tried my best to, you know,
Speaker 7: learn as much as I can from all the guys
Speaker 7: who have kind of paved the way for me. And
Speaker 7: I think that, you know, being around all of them,
Speaker 7: it's taught me a lot, and it's taught me enough
Speaker 7: to where I do believe that you know, older generation
Speaker 7: moves on. I do believe I could step in and
Speaker 7: you know, do what's right and make a difference.
Speaker 3: Now, Republicans, again, they're they're the better of the two parties,
Speaker 3: but they're not always right, and we've seen that multiple times,
Speaker 3: especially right here in the state of Mississippi, where you've
Speaker 3: seen bad Republican actors continue to push us further and
Speaker 3: further to the left. How cham allenging is it for
Speaker 3: you to maybe convince some of the younger folks that, hey,
Speaker 3: maybe we need to look at these primaries a little
Speaker 3: bit more and stop just electing the old guard because
Speaker 3: we always have right.
Speaker 7: So Yeah, one thing I always tell people is it's
Speaker 7: it's not just Republican versus Democrat. There's there's differences on
Speaker 7: each side. Like you said, Republicans you have here more conservative,
Speaker 7: more more right wing, you know, want to push things.
Speaker 7: You also have your more left leaning Republicans. I think
Speaker 7: it's very important for people to actually get involved and
Speaker 7: you know, care about politics enough to investigate both sides
Speaker 7: of the Republican Party because there's there's differences. Everybody has
Speaker 7: their own beliefs, and I think it's very important for
Speaker 7: people to genuinely pay attention and not just look at
Speaker 7: a look at it r on a piece of paper
Speaker 7: and check the box. Or it's not just red and blue.
Speaker 7: It's about it's about morals and standards and what people believe.
Speaker 7: And it's not it's not just what people tell you
Speaker 7: to believe. It's it's you. It's your do need to
Speaker 7: do your part and investigate things and make your own decisions.
Speaker 3: What do you think of term limits? Do you think
Speaker 3: that we need congressional term limits considering how many people
Speaker 3: have gone up there and turn getting elected into a career.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think term moment is one of
Speaker 7: those things that are almost a necessity. There's so many
Speaker 7: people in Jackson and Washington who have been making the
Speaker 7: wrong decisions for far too long, and I think it's
Speaker 7: it's time to get them out and let like you said,
Speaker 7: the older generations have to step away and pass the torch.
Speaker 7: I think it's time for them to move on and
Speaker 7: let the younger generations step in andto It's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they won't because they understand that they don't
Speaker 3: want to give up that title. They don't want to
Speaker 3: give up the perks that go with the position. And
Speaker 3: that's why term limits is probably the only way we're
Speaker 3: ever going to see some of the old guard go out.
Speaker 3: I mean, we've got folks serving in Congress and in
Speaker 3: the Senate that are the wrong side of eighty and
Speaker 3: you can't tell me, I don't care how well put together,
Speaker 3: how well you take care of yourself, at some point
Speaker 3: you're going to reach an age where you're diminishing. Look,
Speaker 3: I'm fifty years old. I feel like I'm diminishing. So
Speaker 3: I understand that more than I did at your age, obviously,
Speaker 3: and it just to me it feels like if we
Speaker 3: don't get some type of term limits, we're never going
Speaker 3: to be able to move away from that because there's
Speaker 3: so many people that just don't take the time to
Speaker 3: do the research. And some of it is they leave
Speaker 3: busy life schedules, whatever the case, there's so many reasons
Speaker 3: excuses that people can have for not engaging the way
Speaker 3: that they should, and those people are more prone to
Speaker 3: vote for the incumbent merely because they always have and
Speaker 3: they've never taken the time to look at the incumbent's
Speaker 3: record exactly.
Speaker 7: I fully agree to kind of go back to moments
Speaker 7: when you come about well, declineinget you know, either mental
Speaker 7: health or physical. You see Joe Biden's mental acquility and
Speaker 7: enduring his presidency. But yeah, I want a more like
Speaker 7: a local note. I mean, I'm sure we've all seen
Speaker 7: the video of Delver Hoseman passing out in the in
Speaker 7: the chamber in Jackson, and now he's running for governor.
Speaker 7: It kind of makes you wonder. It's like, should this
Speaker 7: guy really be leading our state? And in my opinion, no,
Speaker 7: he shouldn't. I think it's time for him to help
Speaker 7: him to go home, sit down, and not have a
Speaker 7: part in this anymore.
Speaker 3: Look, anybody that listens to the show knows I'm no
Speaker 3: fan of Delbert Hoseman, but when that incident happened, it
Speaker 3: was nothing but prayers for the man, because again, I
Speaker 3: don't wish I'll on him, but I think it is
Speaker 3: a glaring example of why it's time for him to
Speaker 3: step away. Because again, you've been there, you've done your thing.
Speaker 3: Let's let's move out of the way. Let's let the
Speaker 3: next group step up. But folks like Delbert Hoseman are
Speaker 3: just one example of a big time plague on our
Speaker 3: governments that just won't go away, that they just want
Speaker 3: to hold on to that power. They want to have
Speaker 3: that title or in this case, that next title that
Speaker 3: is so intoxicating for them that they don't want to
Speaker 3: let it go. And that's where it's going to be.
Speaker 3: And I hate to put this on you, Carson, but
Speaker 3: that's where the challenge is going to be on your side,
Speaker 3: your generation, because you're going to be the guys that
Speaker 3: are going to either have to run against these type
Speaker 3: of people or work your tail off for folks to
Speaker 3: try to get them out of office. And as you
Speaker 3: know for helping with some of Chris's campaigns, that's not
Speaker 3: always the easiest thing to do because they're going to
Speaker 3: have mountains of more money than any challengers ever going
Speaker 3: to have. Yeah, well, tell me what your message would
Speaker 3: be to somebody that's wanting to jump in that fray,
Speaker 3: wanting to try to challenge for this race or for
Speaker 3: any race.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So I think I mean, anybody who watches the news,
Speaker 7: you know, sees what happens on a day to day basis,
Speaker 7: and sees the problems, and I just think it's gonna
Speaker 7: it just takes getting younger people to be realize that
Speaker 7: getting involved in politics is one of the only ways
Speaker 7: to make a difference of what's going on in the country.
Speaker 7: You can just keep on voting the same people in
Speaker 7: and expecting changes. If you really want to change it,
Speaker 7: just are It's an elect on a ballot. And that's
Speaker 7: just my opinion, and I think it it just it's
Speaker 7: gonna take. It's going to take me getting people on
Speaker 7: page with on on board with me, and getting them
Speaker 7: to follow the same footsteps as you know. So these
Speaker 7: guys who have paved the path and make their own
Speaker 7: path and not just jump on the path of other
Speaker 7: people and keep on following it.
Speaker 3: Do you think that this assassination of Charlie Kirk, do
Speaker 3: you think that that is a turning point? Pun it
Speaker 3: not intended, but it certainly works in this case. But
Speaker 3: do you think that's a turning point in opening the
Speaker 3: eyes to a lot of young people who may have
Speaker 3: had their eyes closed a little bit?
Speaker 7: Yeah, one do. Like I said, I mean, I'm in
Speaker 7: a fraternity here at Southern Myths, and I got a
Speaker 7: bunch of my Opternity brothers to join the turner Point Chapion.
Speaker 7: And I also had conversations with some of them who
Speaker 7: were like, oh, politics and stupid. Politics is stupid. And
Speaker 7: I had conversations with them, it's like thinking it's stupid,
Speaker 7: it's part of the problem. You're you're not making a difference.
Speaker 7: And I got several to like really understand that if
Speaker 7: they don't get involved, they don't do something about it,
Speaker 7: it's just going to be a continued, continuous cycle of problems.
Speaker 7: So I think it's it's definitely one made a huge impact.
Speaker 7: It open people's eyes to seeing the true problems and
Speaker 7: realizing that it's on them to fix it.
Speaker 3: Do you think you would have gotten ten of your
Speaker 3: fraternity brothers to sign up if this had not happened.
Speaker 7: To Charlie, I'd say probably not. Probably not.
Speaker 3: That's that's sad that it takes something like that to
Speaker 3: happen to make folks wake up and see because again,
Speaker 3: this this culture war is pretty rough, and you're right
Speaker 3: there on ground zero a college campus, and that's where
Speaker 3: you see that a lot of the liberals out there,
Speaker 3: they're not really nice when you have a different opinion.
Speaker 3: They they're very compative in the way that they try
Speaker 3: to challenge. They're not necessarily wanting to debate you, They're
Speaker 3: wanting to come right right at you. How much of
Speaker 3: that have you seen there? At USM. Have you seen
Speaker 3: the more militant, loud liberal or or is it a
Speaker 3: little bit more subdued there at Southern.
Speaker 7: I think it's definitely a mixture of both. Like kind
Speaker 7: of said in my American Government class, the students that
Speaker 7: were in the very liberal students in there were definitely
Speaker 7: the type you just yell at you and try to
Speaker 7: belittle you, and it was never a serious debate. It
Speaker 7: was just a kind of push their narrative and it's
Speaker 7: their way or no way, never hearing out both sides
Speaker 7: of an issue. It was always just them pounding you
Speaker 7: for not believing what they believe. But then at the
Speaker 7: same time, I've also seen, you know, there'll be people
Speaker 7: out like we call it Founder Square, a little water fountain.
Speaker 7: People will stand out there and and debate all the time,
Speaker 7: and it's sometimes that's a little bit more of a
Speaker 7: you know, a back and forth of discussion and not
Speaker 7: just debate. So it's it's definitely a decent mixture on
Speaker 7: that other mess of that.
Speaker 3: What would you like to see, you know, with your
Speaker 3: chapter there, the turning point chapter there? Would you like
Speaker 3: to see that? I know unfortunately we lost Charlie, but
Speaker 3: would you like to see them hold a debate and
Speaker 3: have maybe somebody come in and fill that role and
Speaker 3: sit sit down and have an open discussion with students
Speaker 3: there on campus.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that would be that'd be great. I
Speaker 7: think it would really You know, Southern miss is a
Speaker 7: smaller institution. You have an old miss Missippi State, and
Speaker 7: then you know those schools are even more liberal than
Speaker 7: Southern myss Is. But I think getting a good conservative
Speaker 7: movement at Southern Mills would really put put this place
Speaker 7: on the map and would get people here preparing them
Speaker 7: to once they graduate, and like you said, stepping into
Speaker 7: those roles where the older generation is about to step
Speaker 7: down and pass the torch. I think getting stuff started
Speaker 7: here is almost like it's where it needs to begin.
Speaker 7: So I think, like you said, having debates, having discussions,
Speaker 7: getting people to open their eyes, I think that's very
Speaker 7: very important. I'd love to see it here.
Speaker 3: One of the things, and I've put this warning out
Speaker 3: on the show before that is important for young people
Speaker 3: to hear and to understand, is as you get involved,
Speaker 3: you're going to have members of the establishment wing of
Speaker 3: the party that are going to try to get their
Speaker 3: hooks in you and invite you to events and different
Speaker 3: things that are going to be fun, and they're gonna
Speaker 3: try to show you these perks so that way you
Speaker 3: go along with them. And it's important that young people
Speaker 3: understand that some of these folks, they're not necessarily showing
Speaker 3: up on campus, are reaching out to you because they
Speaker 3: really interested in you. They're there to try to co
Speaker 3: opt you and co opt your beliefs and try to
Speaker 3: get you to follow along with them. As you get
Speaker 3: more friends involved in this political process, how do you,
Speaker 3: because you've been through, you've been on the other side,
Speaker 3: how do you see yourself trying to warn folks against
Speaker 3: some of these more establishment members of the party.
Speaker 7: Right, So, I think it kind of goes back to
Speaker 7: what I said earlier. You just have to get people to,
Speaker 7: like I said, think for themselves and not just not
Speaker 7: take not taking in everything somebody tells you, you know,
Speaker 7: kind of take things that they tell you and process
Speaker 7: it and not just take everything in. I mean, I
Speaker 7: think it's really important to kind of dissect what people
Speaker 7: tell you or I was like, this might not be right,
Speaker 7: this might not be right, and just kind of almost
Speaker 7: forming your own opinions from what other people are saying
Speaker 7: and then going with that, not just following one group
Speaker 7: of one group of people what they believe. I think
Speaker 7: it's important to get people to really make their own
Speaker 7: decisions and go their own way.
Speaker 3: Now, Carson, have you been following some of the insanity
Speaker 3: going on with Washington with this government shut down? Have
Speaker 3: you been keeping much of an eye on that?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I have a little bit, nothing, not not too much.
Speaker 3: Well, of course, it's really one of those things that
Speaker 3: the Democrats they're drawn a line in the sand, like
Speaker 3: they normally do. They want to keep Obamacare funded and
Speaker 3: make sure that we are able to fund healthcare for
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, which of course is asinine considering the fact
Speaker 3: that we are running a massive deficit, which don't get wrong,
Speaker 3: Republicans are guilty of growing that deficit just as much
Speaker 3: as the Democrats. But in this instance, they're wanting to
Speaker 3: try to protect non citizens and that just seems to
Speaker 3: be insane to me that this is the line in
Speaker 3: the sane that they're wanting to draw. And of course
Speaker 3: the flip side of it is a shut down government
Speaker 3: doesn't really affect me you too much. I mean, they
Speaker 3: want to try to pretend it's this massive thing, but
Speaker 3: really and truly, it's not going to affect most Americans
Speaker 3: with government being shut down. What's your whole takeaway on
Speaker 3: government being shut down?
Speaker 7: See, in my opinion, it's almost kind of useless. I
Speaker 7: mean I've had several people call to me and be like,
Speaker 7: what does it mean? And I was like, it really doesn't.
Speaker 7: They just couldn't agree on something, but it has almost
Speaker 7: no effect on you. So I was like, it always
Speaker 7: just seems like a waste of time to the almost.
Speaker 3: Well, it's political theater. I mean, that's the purpose it serves.
Speaker 3: It's something that the Democrats can grandstand on, the Republicans
Speaker 3: can grandstand a little bit all but the national media
Speaker 3: is going to continue to paint it like it's this
Speaker 3: doomsday scenario that it really isn't. And I think that
Speaker 3: the Democrats are playing a game with the wrong president
Speaker 3: because I don't think President and Trump. Now. I still
Speaker 3: think Republicans in Congress will probably cave because that's what
Speaker 3: we've seen time and time out again they cave ninety
Speaker 3: nine point nine percent out of the time. But Trump's
Speaker 3: a different entity, and I don't see him being willing
Speaker 3: to cave the way that we've seen in the past.
Speaker 3: You know, but I still don't trust our Congress. What's
Speaker 3: your takeaway. Do you think that this will be another
Speaker 3: one of those long drawn out battles that ultimately the
Speaker 3: Republicans blink? First, yeah, I do.
Speaker 7: Agree with that. I think it's going to be an
Speaker 7: it's just going to be a cycle for a while.
Speaker 7: And I want if you saw the picture in the
Speaker 7: Oval office, Trump had like make America Great Again hats
Speaker 7: and said twenty twenty eight on it, which I mean,
Speaker 7: I'm sure we can all have our own opinions on that,
Speaker 7: but it was just that kind of goes to show
Speaker 7: that he's he's not going to back down. He's going
Speaker 7: to stand strong of what he believes, and he's not
Speaker 7: going to change his ways just because someone else, someone
Speaker 7: else wants him to.
Speaker 3: Well, you brought it up, so I'm gonna ask the question.
Speaker 3: You know, Trump has floated this idea of a third term. Right,
Speaker 3: first off, I don't think he's constitutionally eligible, and I'm
Speaker 3: not in favor of it. And another reason I'm not
Speaker 3: in favor of it is his age at the time
Speaker 3: that he would be starting a third term would be
Speaker 3: way older than I think we should be electing someone
Speaker 3: to President. That doesn't mean I don't like President Trump.
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that I don't think he's doing a
Speaker 3: good job. But I think that the and for the
Speaker 3: most part, I think a lot of the talk of
Speaker 3: a third term is done to agitate the Democrats and
Speaker 3: the liberals in general. But what's your take. Let's let's
Speaker 3: let's say that this is an honest thing, that he's
Speaker 3: actively trying to push for a third term. Do you
Speaker 3: think that Trump Trump should be granted a third term.
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I don't think it's, like I said, constitutionally,
Speaker 7: it's just it's just not right. And also, going back
Speaker 7: the way said well ago, it's time of these older
Speaker 7: guys to pass the torch the younger generation. You know,
Speaker 7: it's the country is not meant to have the same
Speaker 7: people over and over and over and over and over
Speaker 7: again leading us. It's time for you know, a new
Speaker 7: a new look on things now. I think it's it's
Speaker 7: just not right to have the same person you continuing
Speaker 7: their continuing to turn out Carson.
Speaker 3: Have you ever read Barry goldwald Water's Conscious of a Conservative.
Speaker 7: I think I've read parts of it, but not not
Speaker 7: all of it.
Speaker 3: It's a short book, and it's a it's a pretty
Speaker 3: easy read. I actually have the audio book on my phone,
Speaker 3: so every now and then if I've got a long
Speaker 3: drive and I'll go back to it because I think
Speaker 3: it lays the foundations for our belief and I think
Speaker 3: it's something that's very important for young people such as yourself,
Speaker 3: to read, understand, and embrace because I think Barry Goldwater
Speaker 3: painted a true picture of what it means to be conservative,
Speaker 3: and I definitely encourage you to finish that book for sure.
Speaker 7: Sure.
Speaker 3: The biggest fight I think in one of the biggest
Speaker 3: fights in our country. I wouldn't say the biggest, but
Speaker 3: one of the big fights in our country right now
Speaker 3: is this push for transgenderism, this push for women having
Speaker 3: to compete against biological males in sports, and this insane
Speaker 3: idea that you can wake up tomorrow and today your
Speaker 3: cars and tomorrow you're Annie. If you want to, you
Speaker 3: can just wake up and decide that you're a female.
Speaker 3: What's your take on this push from the left? I mean,
Speaker 3: do you think that this is them going way to
Speaker 3: the extreme and something that has really pushed us to
Speaker 3: the point to where you have Donald Trump back in
Speaker 3: the White House, seeh.
Speaker 7: I think the whole transgend transgenderism issue is just it's
Speaker 7: just insane to make I personally, I just I don't
Speaker 7: get it. And I think I think it's one of
Speaker 7: those where the media almost pushes it and makes it
Speaker 7: seem acceptable when it really shouldn't be. And I say,
Speaker 7: definitely here, I see that. I see that every day.
Speaker 7: It's not as much of a problem as far as
Speaker 7: like the sports go, but it's just walking around campus
Speaker 7: and you kind of observe things. It's just it's kind
Speaker 7: of unreal to think about. For me personally, it's it's
Speaker 7: hard to ride my head around, hard to understand.
Speaker 3: Do you have tender neutral bathrooms there on campus?
Speaker 7: Yes, there are, there are a few, I know, I
Speaker 7: know if it at least one or two.
Speaker 3: That's just that that just blows my mind. You know again,
Speaker 3: I can't understand, you know. And if look, if you
Speaker 3: want to live your life a certain way, that's fine,
Speaker 3: make make your choice, you live it however you won't.
Speaker 3: But the problem here is you're asking me to live
Speaker 3: in your delusion with you. And that's where I have
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And this whole idea of gender neutral bathrooms, if that
Speaker 3: was the the fix. As long as you still had
Speaker 3: the traditional male and female bathrooms, then so be it.
Speaker 3: But that's not what they want. They want to have
Speaker 3: the right to walk into a female's restroom despite the
Speaker 3: fact that there's still a biological male, right, And that's
Speaker 3: that's that's why I don't think that the gender neutral
Speaker 3: bathrooms is going to be a winning proposal ever, because
Speaker 3: that's not what they want. They want total domination.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, I have two younger sisters.
Speaker 7: I mean if I ever saw, you know, a biological
Speaker 7: man walking into the bathroom and not your sisters walking there,
Speaker 7: I mean that they would that there'd be a problem.
Speaker 7: There would be a problem.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 7: I don't think. I mean, I think gender neutral bathrooms
Speaker 7: are it's just another another thing of discussion. It's just
Speaker 7: another It's it's not it's not fixing anything, it's just
Speaker 7: causing another issue. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 3: You know, you you talked about having little sisters. One
Speaker 3: of them's playing sports, correct, one of them plays softball.
Speaker 7: Right, yes she does.
Speaker 3: What would you say if they tried to put a
Speaker 3: mail on her team and that that boy, that is
Speaker 3: that now identifying it as a girl takes her spot
Speaker 3: from her, How would that make you feel?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it's just not fair. And I don't
Speaker 7: I don't quite understand how the same liberals who are
Speaker 7: pushing for women's rights are also going to allow biological
Speaker 7: males to take things away from women. It just it
Speaker 7: makes no sense. It's like someone's two based. It's like
Speaker 7: a complete, complete one eight from each other. It just
Speaker 7: makes it makes no sense to me. I don't, I
Speaker 7: don't understand it.
Speaker 3: The other big issue, of course, and we we alluded
Speaker 3: to it when we talked about the government shutdown, of course,
Speaker 3: is illegal immigration in this country, and the left tries
Speaker 3: to flip this into a racial thing when it truly
Speaker 3: is not. It is an issue of we just want
Speaker 3: you to come here the right way, We want you
Speaker 3: to follow the laws, and that's not what's happening here.
Speaker 3: I mean, the left doesn't even like to call them
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. They want to call them undocumented. They want
Speaker 3: to bypass the fact that they entered the country illegally
Speaker 3: and give them blanket amnesty, which is an absurd idea
Speaker 3: because all that would do is encourage more people to
Speaker 3: flush over the border. Tell me again. You know, being
Speaker 3: on a college campus, I'm sure that you see a
Speaker 3: lot of folks that are on the other side trying
Speaker 3: to say we should just leave them alone. They're just
Speaker 3: here trying to work. Tell me some of the things
Speaker 3: you've seen in that argument there on campus.
Speaker 7: Yes, so it really I really haven't seen all that
Speaker 7: much about you know, the border being an issue. I know,
Speaker 7: obviously it is an issue, but I haven't really seen
Speaker 7: all that much on campus about I mean, every now
Speaker 7: and then I'll see one of those liberal organizations at
Speaker 7: Southern miss like you post about it, But for the
Speaker 7: most part, I really really haven't seen all that much
Speaker 7: about it on campus.
Speaker 3: So you hadn't encountered professors trying to push that narrative
Speaker 3: on you just yet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that I have not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll come your junior and senior year. Once you
Speaker 3: get in the more advanced classes. That's when they'll start
Speaker 3: hitting you with those professors. You know again, you you
Speaker 3: talked about being a music major and dealing with being isolated,
Speaker 3: you know, being one of the few conservatives in that
Speaker 3: chosen field of study. Tell me, do you ever feel
Speaker 3: like you need to keep to yourself what you believe
Speaker 3: when you see certain people around you in certain classes
Speaker 3: and you know where they stand on stuff. Are there
Speaker 3: ever times where you feel like, okay, maybe that's maybe
Speaker 3: it's not wise for me to voice up that I'm
Speaker 3: a conservative, right.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think definitely almost like the odd one
Speaker 7: out in all my classes because I knew no one
Speaker 7: else believed the same way I did. So honestly, this
Speaker 7: this semester is I did. I'm doing construction management, so
Speaker 7: I did change my major, and I think definitely that
Speaker 7: had a large one to play in. It was one
Speaker 7: of those things that this is how it is in school,
Speaker 7: and I know, like I've always heard stories about the
Speaker 7: industry of like music education and how liberal it is.
Speaker 7: I didn't. I didn't want to have any any part
Speaker 7: in it. So I think that's definitely it drove me
Speaker 7: to choosing a different, different path as far as occupation
Speaker 7: and schooling goes.
Speaker 3: I can understand, you know again going going there as
Speaker 3: a journalism major, it was it was definitely eye opening
Speaker 3: because every day, because being an older student at the time,
Speaker 3: I was not going to shout away from this agreeing
Speaker 3: with somebody or voicing my opinion on something, and I
Speaker 3: was constantly challenged. Now, I was prepared for the challenge,
Speaker 3: and I don't think that a lot of them were
Speaker 3: ready for me to be able to stand my ground.
Speaker 3: I remember one time I was working on a story
Speaker 3: and I got it done and one of the student
Speaker 3: editors said that maybe I needed to get a liberal
Speaker 3: opinion on this story and that maybe I should call
Speaker 3: Bennie Thompson's office. And I was like, no, I'm not
Speaker 3: calling Benny Thompson's office. Said I'm not giving him any
Speaker 3: credibility because I don't view him as a credible politician,
Speaker 3: which he was deeply offended by. And then one day,
Speaker 3: and this is where the story comes full circle course,
Speaker 3: and he was interning for a paper and he got
Speaker 3: the assignment because the paper was in Vicksburg, which is
Speaker 3: part of Benny's district. He got an assignment to go
Speaker 3: sit down and interview Benny. And he was a good,
Speaker 3: true Democrat and he was excited about getting the chance
Speaker 3: to interview him. Well, I remember calling him after the
Speaker 3: interview and he, uh, he was pretty quiet, and I said,
Speaker 3: what happened? He said, I think I think he may
Speaker 3: be right. I think I think he may be racist.
Speaker 3: I think he I think he only he only tends
Speaker 3: to cater to black folks, like you were saying. And
Speaker 3: I said, really, what what happened? He said, well, I
Speaker 3: walked in. The first thing he said was, oh, they
Speaker 3: couldn't send a brother, and that opened his eyes to Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe I wasn't wrong about this guy, you know. So
Speaker 3: again that's uh, that's a story I will always remember,
Speaker 3: you know, because that's uh, that was. Now. It didn't
Speaker 3: change that kid's ideology. It didn't change him away from
Speaker 3: being a left leaning Democrat. Uh. He and I had
Speaker 3: me any interesting conversations, especially about the two thousand elections,
Speaker 3: because we were all right. He was one of the
Speaker 3: guys that drove down to Florida to protest for Al Gore.
Speaker 3: So that tells you where this guy stood. But I mean, again,
Speaker 3: it was it's always good to engage with the other side.
Speaker 3: And I think that's something that Charlie Kirk really did
Speaker 3: well because he was never afraid to have that open dialogue.
Speaker 3: And I don't think any of us should be afraid
Speaker 3: to have that open dialogue. I think we need more
Speaker 3: of that open dialogue. We need to have that willingness.
Speaker 3: Now that doesn't mean sitting there and listening to them
Speaker 3: brate you. But we need to have that willingness to
Speaker 3: sit down and have that discussion of Carson, do you
Speaker 3: have any interest in running for office yourself one day
Speaker 3: or do you view yourself more as somebody that would
Speaker 3: like to work behind the scenes for a campaign. To
Speaker 3: tell me where you see yourself once you get out
Speaker 3: of there in the realm of politics.
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's dealy. Running for office is always something
Speaker 7: that I've I've thought about and considered and I have
Speaker 7: people tell me I should do it. It's one of
Speaker 7: those that you know, I've tried to surround myself with
Speaker 7: as many people that I know that I can learn from,
Speaker 7: and I think, you know, one of the best ways
Speaker 7: for me to make the difference that I want to
Speaker 7: would be to run for office. I mean, even behind
Speaker 7: the scenes it's like a big difference, but being in office,
Speaker 7: I think that's kind of the the best way to
Speaker 7: make a difference. There's something that I definitely have thought
Speaker 7: about and have considered. So I'm excited for to see
Speaker 7: in the future, like what God has planned for me
Speaker 7: as far as you know, my role in the political
Speaker 7: in the political world and in the government, and to
Speaker 7: see to see his plan for me. I'm excited to
Speaker 7: see it.
Speaker 3: Tell me about your faith and what role that plays
Speaker 3: in your political beliefs.
Speaker 7: Yes, I mean I grew up Southern Baptist. You know,
Speaker 7: I was in church nine months before I was born.
Speaker 7: So it's definitely definitely played a large role in my
Speaker 7: you know, moral beliefs and all that stuff, as far
Speaker 7: as like you know, transgenderism goes with my beliefs on
Speaker 7: you know, homosexuality. So my my religion and my faith
Speaker 7: is something I've never back down from, and it's it's
Speaker 7: definitely guided me in the right path and make a
Speaker 7: decision that I've made.
Speaker 3: Absolutely we need we need that guidance. And that's to me,
Speaker 3: that's part of what's wrong with our society as a whole,
Speaker 3: is we've moved away from Christ as a nation and
Speaker 3: we're worse all for it, you know. And I think
Speaker 3: that's part of the problem you see with the modern
Speaker 3: American left, is they really are hostile towards Christianity. One
Speaker 3: of the stories I've told before is being in Chicago.
Speaker 3: We had gone to a Cubs game up there in Chicago,
Speaker 3: and after the game, there was a guy standing on
Speaker 3: the street corner with his religious sign, trying to preach
Speaker 3: to folks leaving the ballgame, which you know, you can
Speaker 3: argue maybe that wasn't the place for it or what,
Speaker 3: or maybe that was the exact place that he should
Speaker 3: be doing it. But the simple thing to do if
Speaker 3: you didn't like what he was saying or you didn't
Speaker 3: agree with it, was to just walk past him and
Speaker 3: ignore it. But that's not what a lot of these
Speaker 3: folks were doing. They were screaming obscenities at him, telling
Speaker 3: him how horrible he was, and just you know, berating
Speaker 3: him for being there. And to me, just that spoke volumes,
Speaker 3: and I think that's why me personally think that yes,
Speaker 3: he was right where he should have been, because he
Speaker 3: had to encounter that type of hostility merely because he
Speaker 3: was there trying to preach the gospel to folks that
Speaker 3: probably needed well. The ones that were acting the way
Speaker 3: they did absolutely needed to hear it, right, but they
Speaker 3: were that hostile to it. And we've seen this hostility
Speaker 3: taken to multiple levels now again, and I'm gonna ask
Speaker 3: you about this too, because you it's not just Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk's assassination. We've seen the left grow more and more
Speaker 3: violent towards people spouting an opinion they disagree with. And
Speaker 3: I think a lot of that stems from the fact
Speaker 3: that our mainstream media, a lot of the entertainers, they
Speaker 3: will throw fascists out there at Donald Trump, myself, probably
Speaker 3: you if you continue down this path, they've caught you
Speaker 3: a Nazi. They say these things that continue to dehumanize
Speaker 3: us to the point to where a deranged kid in
Speaker 3: Utah will think it's a good idea to take that shot.
Speaker 3: And tell me, what role do you think that this
Speaker 3: rhetoric that the left has been throwing out is playing
Speaker 3: in some of the violence acts and the assassination of
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 7: See. I think they're you know, throwing all those words
Speaker 7: he said, fascist and Nazis, and it's make people, you know,
Speaker 7: just believe that everyone who disagrees with you is just wrong.
Speaker 7: And I think, kind of going back to what I
Speaker 7: said earlier, it's important think for themselves and not just
Speaker 7: take these words people are throwing out and really thinking
Speaker 7: that these people are bad people. I mean, we all disagree,
Speaker 7: we all have different differentiating opinions. That's just you know,
Speaker 7: part of life. I mean, that's part of the reason
Speaker 7: why this country was founded so we could all, you know,
Speaker 7: think for ourselves. And it's it's ridiculous to me seeing
Speaker 7: the left throw out those words and just assuming that
Speaker 7: we're all bad people for disagreeing with each other. That's
Speaker 7: ridiculous thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and it's it's one thing to say
Speaker 3: you disagree, but to continue to go down this level
Speaker 3: that they have, of this dehumanizing level, I mean, look
Speaker 3: at what they're doing to ice agents. I mean, they're
Speaker 3: making them out to be bad people. They are government
Speaker 3: agents doing the job that they were assigned to do,
Speaker 3: and they're calling them modern day storm troopers and whatever
Speaker 3: thing they can throw out there. And as such, you
Speaker 3: see these rioters attacking these agents, and to me, the
Speaker 3: absurdity that we are continuing to watch here is on
Speaker 3: full display. And just it's one of those things where
Speaker 3: it should be obvious to people that they have pushed
Speaker 3: us down this path. And yet something like what happened
Speaker 3: to Charlie Kirk, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump last summer.
Speaker 3: You know, they they try to say, well, we need
Speaker 3: to tone down the rhetoric, and then that lasts about
Speaker 3: a week and then they go right back to it right,
Speaker 3: and it just it seems to me that they they
Speaker 3: never I won't even say they never learned their lesson.
Speaker 3: I think it's a case of they know they're not
Speaker 3: going to change because they like the radicalization that they
Speaker 3: have started with certain individuals.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I completely agree with that. I mean, it's
Speaker 7: one of those things where they start all these problems
Speaker 7: and then they face repercussions from it, but they never stop.
Speaker 7: It keeps on going as a constant cycle of, like
Speaker 7: I said, throwing out those names and it's thrown out
Speaker 7: that that rhetoric, and it's just it's horrible.
Speaker 3: It's horrible. It definitely is, and it's very frustrating to
Speaker 3: sit down and watch, especially knowing that as a conservative,
Speaker 3: I'm one of the ones that they're going to call.
Speaker 3: But again, to me, if a true fascist is the
Speaker 3: one that wants to deny my right to say what
Speaker 3: I think a true fascist does. A guy that climbs
Speaker 3: up on a roof and kills a man who is
Speaker 3: merely encouraging debate, that is a true fascist right there,
Speaker 3: So they are the very thing that they claim to hate.
Speaker 3: That's right, right, you know, let me ask you this one.
Speaker 3: Have you seen any protest over the Israeli Palestinian conflict
Speaker 3: there on campus. Have you encountered any of that since
Speaker 3: that all became a hot thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, for sure, That's definitely been one of
Speaker 7: the bigger issues that I've seen pushed on campus to
Speaker 7: hold free Palestine movement and people just doing outrageous, crazy
Speaker 7: things that make no sense, Like you've seen these people
Speaker 7: gluing their hands on the road and all this stuff
Speaker 7: to free Palestine. I don't I don't quite understand how
Speaker 7: that affects anything, but yeah, I see I've seen a
Speaker 7: lot of that on campus, people protesting and like I said,
Speaker 7: trying to push the rhetoric in if you're if you
Speaker 7: don't agree with them, like you said, you're a fascist
Speaker 7: in the Nazi and a all the all these terms
Speaker 7: I like to throw out, and it's it's something that
Speaker 7: I've I've definitely seen a lot on campus.
Speaker 3: You know, how many of those kids do you think
Speaker 3: actually have any understanding of what's going on over there?
Speaker 3: Do you do you think that they're just listening to
Speaker 3: some professor sir they're on campus that's telling them that
Speaker 3: this is where you should stand, and they're not doing
Speaker 3: real research. On the issue.
Speaker 7: One hundred percent agree. I think it's a lot of
Speaker 7: just following the crowd, you know. I think that's one
Speaker 7: thing your parents always tell you when you first come
Speaker 7: to college is don't follow the crowd, you know, kind
Speaker 7: of make your own decisions. Well, that's not even on
Speaker 7: a that's not even a social thing. That should be
Speaker 7: a political thing too. It don't just follow the crowd
Speaker 7: of what their politically are, you know, do your own
Speaker 7: research and make your own opinions. And I think that
Speaker 7: a lot of people just don't do that.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, you know again, because you know
Speaker 3: Donald Trump getting re elected last year in a landslide.
Speaker 3: What's what's been your opinion so far of this year?
Speaker 3: One of the return to Donald Trump? What what have
Speaker 3: you What have you seen that you've liked? Is there
Speaker 3: anything that you've seen as a young person you haven't
Speaker 3: been a fan of.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've definitely. I think now there's been a lot
Speaker 7: more of him standing on his words and standing on
Speaker 7: you know, what he said, and I've really enjoyed seeing
Speaker 7: that and then you know, not waiting things slide and
Speaker 7: actually stirring the pot, you know, causing problems. I think
Speaker 7: I like seeing all that and you know, not not
Speaker 7: following the crowd, and which mean he's never been the
Speaker 7: one to follow the crowd. But I think this term
Speaker 7: specifically has been a lot different than than his first term.
Speaker 7: So it's it's been it's been good to see someone
Speaker 7: actually doing what we've all wanted to see happen. It's
Speaker 7: it's good to see.
Speaker 3: I like seeing it actually, you know, fulfilling campaign promises
Speaker 3: and not just waiting until you run again, you know,
Speaker 3: to potentially do it. Yeah, Trump's Trump's definitely been far
Speaker 3: more active in maintaining those campaign promises than I think
Speaker 3: he wasn't his first term. And I don't think he
Speaker 3: did bad in his first term, but I don't think
Speaker 3: he was the I don't think he was. I think
Speaker 3: he was always more thinking in terms of running for
Speaker 3: reelection at that time. Plus I also think that Trump
Speaker 3: surrounded himself with bad advisors. I think he had a
Speaker 3: lot of the old school establishment wing as his advisors,
Speaker 3: and well, since he'd gone through that once before, he
Speaker 3: wasn't going to go through that again a second time.
Speaker 3: So I'm right there with you on that. I think
Speaker 3: I think Trump so far, we still got three more years,
Speaker 3: so I don't. I don't want to give them too
Speaker 3: much praise because I don't let me down. But we
Speaker 3: definitely have seen a a Trump that is nobody's push
Speaker 3: over during this term. Uh right, Carson, is there any
Speaker 3: message that you would like to leave with young people
Speaker 3: before I'll let you go? Uh, people your age, maybe
Speaker 3: even folks that are getting ready to go to college.
Speaker 3: What what message would you give them, especially if they're
Speaker 3: a conservative young person like yourself.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I would definitely say, you know, Daniel ground,
Speaker 7: that's one of the most important things when you come
Speaker 7: to a college campus is stay your ground, believing you
Speaker 7: know your morals. It's like, don't don't stray from what
Speaker 7: you believe, don't want other people change your mind, put
Speaker 7: your own thought into things, make your own decisions, all
Speaker 7: that sort of stuff. Don't don't believe everything you hear. So,
Speaker 7: I think it's definitely important for us to, you know,
Speaker 7: understand that making your own decisions is the best thing
Speaker 7: you can do. And I think that's definitely my my
Speaker 7: thing that I'll tell everybody, it's make your own decisions.
Speaker 3: Well, Carson, I hope this isn't the last time that
Speaker 3: we have you on the right side. I hope that
Speaker 3: you'll come back and you know, share with us some
Speaker 3: some more tells of being there. It sounds like Southern missisn't.
Speaker 3: I know it's liberal because I went there myself. But
Speaker 3: maybe it's not as bad as well. We know it's
Speaker 3: not as bad as being out in Berkeley, California or
Speaker 3: someplace like that. But uh, maybe it's not as bad,
Speaker 3: but it's still bad enough when you see it's getting
Speaker 3: in doctor Native the way that they have. But I
Speaker 3: definitely applaud your courage in being able to stand up
Speaker 3: to them and whole hold strong to convictions. Carson. Don't
Speaker 3: let a professor come in there and tell you that
Speaker 3: everything your mom and your dad told you was wrong,
Speaker 3: because it wasn't.
Speaker 7: Absolutely absolutely well, Thank you so.
Speaker 3: Much, Carson, and we look forward to having you on
Speaker 3: again real soon.
Speaker 7: It stir thanks for having me.
Speaker 3: Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 3: Well, guys that that was a fun conversation there with
Speaker 3: Carson Wade, a sophomore at the University of Southern Mississippi,
Speaker 3: and talking about a little bit about his experience. It's
Speaker 3: not as bad as some of the other colleges in
Speaker 3: our university. But if you are a young person who
Speaker 3: is on a liberal institution, you want to call in
Speaker 3: sometime and give us your tells of problems being a
Speaker 3: conservative on a campus. We'd love to hear from you.
