From the Archive: Charlie’s Q&A at Texas Tech

How did marriage and fatherhood change Charlie’s outlook on politics and on life? During his 2024 appearance at Calvary South Church, Charlie explains how building a family of his own transformed his views and, in particular, intensified his commitment to fighting for the country’s future. He also discusses the rise of the “Christian nationalist” label and delivers a message to the young about tradition and the need to conserve the things we love most.

In a merciful break from Lindsay Clancy drama, the Thoughtcrime team comes together to discuss other topics, including:

-Is AI-generated Christian music a demonic force from the pit of Hell?
-What’s the real root of anti-data center mania?
-What’s the deal with President Trump’s president ranking list?

“They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!” That debate line from President Trump was one of the most famous of 2024. Now, Haitians in Springfield, Ohio are losing their TPS status and facing deportation. Joshua Lisec has now written the definitive book on how Haitians settled a struggling part of middle America and joins the show. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert weighs in on insanity pleas and when, if ever, they are a valid criminal defense. Danny joins for the weekly AMA, where the team takes questions on beef imports, punishing liberal judges, and whether Jack should be fitted with a shock collar for Thoughtcrime (seriously!).

Charlie speaks to students about why Texas must rediscover the toughness and independence that once defined the Lone Star State. He dives into Texas history, the pride students should take in being the heirs of Davy Crockett and Buck Travis, and why the state should take border security into its own hands if Washington won’t. Charlie closes with a paean to home ownership and warning against America becoming a nation of renters.
