7:15 am
shock to one part of the labor market, one sector in the labor market and raises wages in that sector and if it's a large enough raise and their extreme ability of labor than aggregate wages. there's something like this going on which is a large part of that labor force at the lower end is the part that's required to look after the elderly. it's right about chapter 4 and the coming crisis, then the service sector particularly looking after the elderly in some shape or form to protect wage growth for those who find technology a substitute rather than complement so you predict it at the upper level with productivity as you and charles were describing but even at the lower end see wages seem to beprotected because of the process of aging . it's not just a necessarily relative story.
7:16 am
i think it grows into an aggregate one as well. >> to visit the rest of this program watch booktv.org. >> hello everybody, how are you? who's excited? that was weak. i know it's a tuesday but we're more excited than that, comeon . there you go. awesome. first and foremost thank you so much to dylan and kathy andeveryone else for making this event possible . sai'm excited to be connected with you in person and i know you're feeling the same way . our most of you still onlineor hybrid in school ? i'm glad we're here at turning points hq making this event happened. thank you to mackenzie, amy and are also the usa productions team for making this space look so often awesome. let's give everyone art on
7:17 am
our staff around of applause. have you as you guys know we're here to celebrate the launch of my book which has been such an incredible a few weeks and many years in the making writing this book, going through the publication process and now going on my book for it has been such an incredible last couple of weeks so we will talk about that tonight and you're going to get some cool behind-the-scenes insight into new projects we have going on at turning point usa and i want to talk about why your voice as high schoolers and as young people honestly is the thing that we desperately need the most when it comes to american culture and saving not just america of the free world for the next few generations to come and after that we will do q&a so you can ask me anything under the sun whether thebible , projects at turning point or anything you want to talk about. if you've been following me you might know a little bit about my story but a few years ago i never ever would
7:18 am
have thought today in march 2021 i be sitting here talking to all of you at turning point usa headquarters office working as a spokesperson for anything, let alone a political organization and being such an outspoken conservative. i went to college to become a doctor and my dream is to become a trauma surgeon after college and medical school so i specifically chose colorado university in my home state of colorado, a big research institution with an amazing biomedical finances program. i never thought that indoctrination and hatred for conservative ideas, or christian and honestly even objective truth would be such a huge part of my college experience but that defined four years of my experience at colorado state and now beyond doing what i get to be a professional here. i love the truth. do you guys feel the same way ? at the entire reason oui decided to study science to begin with.
7:19 am
i love running after this clear dichotomy between what is right and what is wrong. but we can prove and what we can't prove. but i know is objectively true and i know some fabricated reality from someone who clearly doesn't understand how the universe works. i love that in elementary school, and high school lowith what you guys are learning in your biology and chemistry classes and understanding the scientific method and i wanted to continue doing that in graduate school and beyond as the doctor but even in my classes like anatomy and physiology and organic chemistry, by the way if any of you have to take okay and in college now i'm praying for you because it tested my patience but maybe a stronger student in the end. even in those classes i was being told free speech should not bepart of our american society, that we should be
7:20 am
rewriting the first amendment . i was being taught strong border security was racist or that anyone he who voted for our former president was some sort of white supremacist nazi and even the objective truth that was supposed to be driving all of my curriculum in those classes, things i expected to be in my multiple-choice exams or things we talked about in essays so like black and white, right and wrong, even though things were tainted by my professors political ideology. you will read about this in my book but for example in my physiology class we learned that yes, there's two sets of chromosomes, xx and ex-wife only to be told a few months later in our psychology class that thing you learned about chromosomes, outdated science, don't talk about that anymore. there is actually a social construct a state of being and in that same class we would set spend months learning about every tiny thing and have to happen in the for a baby to be conceived and make it through nine months of pregnancy.
7:21 am
what when beautiful fingerprints are formed almost immediately, when it can feel pain and how it has a unique set of dna different from every other organic being only to be told a few months later after the exams at a baby in the womb was a fetus and it has its own specific name and abortion or as they call it termination of a pregnancy wasn't ending unique human life or even a unique biological life. medical procedure. i was told in my cellular biology class that i had to choose against a test answer option saying that that was the wrong answer on my test. instead i had to say life just spontaneously erupted from a single cell billions .f years ago just because it was this reality over and over again that proves to me even those subjects and even those classes that are
7:22 am
supposed to be driven by objective truth, the things that we can prove, the things we study over and over again and the review and go back and forth on, those things are even subjects to the ctextreme indoctrination that happening g on our college campuses. i experienced all that through my four years at csu and traveling the country and visiting high school and college campuses all over america . i'm learning you guys are getting some of that to your high school experience so raise your hand if you've ever been to in your classes by your teacher that genderis a social construct . how about that america is founded to be a white supremacist country? how many of you have been called by your peers or your ee teachers a nazi or a white supremacist or transforming or homophobic or anti-woman or any of the other crazy
7:23 am
names that people associate with conservatives today? that's not normal. it is today but it didn't used to be. even when i was in high school, we never talked about politics outside of ap us government class or us history and even then my teachers never told me what their personal political beliefs work. we never debated whether our current president was a racist or if whole conservatives were all of a sudden white supremacists but this is becoming the norm thanks to what's been happening on college campuses for decades in the united states and its trickling down to high school and believe it or not middle school and elementary school and kindergarten and preschool. have you heard about these new kids books like antiracist baby and feminist baby? your cousins and neighbors are being taught at age 2 and three day as a baby are a racist .
7:24 am
or that they should be confused about what their gender identity is . it might be different from the gender they were born with. in california next door, i should you lovecalifornia, it's beautiful but i can't love it . they had literally a bill in the state legislature right now that's being debated to become law that would make it illegal in any store in the state of california to separate sections for little boys and little girls for clothing, for toys, forbooks or anything . all of this has started at the heart of our nations culture war on the front lines as i like to say onin this culture war that we are fighting on america's college campuses. i experienced this stuff in the classroom but most of it was the craziest stuff happened outside theclassroom . i was involved in my college community and going to a big public school gave me opportunities to have leadership development, joint fund clubs and get to know a lot of my peers.
7:25 am
in my admissions office job i was hired to become an d admissions ambassador. that meant i gave tours to people like you and your parents when you visited colorado state university to see if it's where youwanted to go to school . you may not know i had a formal letter written in my file or a disciplinary action after i dared to address a group of people as you guys. turns out that's gender exclusive and i'm not being cognizant of the fact that women in that group or people who identify as a man or woman might feel excluded when i say you guys . in student government over and over again we debated the most progressive legislation possible saying that for example the keystone pipeline and ending that project was the right thing to do and all 33,000 students on our campus believed that. we pay 's of thousands of dollars to a lobbyist on behalf of student government
7:26 am
to go to the state capital and lobby on behalf of every student on campus for instituting free-speech zones or for impressing the most possibly leftist curriculum in every department possible on campus and it was engaging in more and more leadership development that i realized the goal of my university was not education at all. it's what they claimed their goal was on their website but in reality they were much more interested in operating a factory of little leftist soldiers graduate and take those crazy ideas with them beyond campus. one day in student government i had enough the extreme leftism, and with passing yet another bill that said all w 33,000 students on my campus were extreme leftists and i did something that would forever be but i like to call my staffing point in my college experience. it wasn't anything all that controversial and shouldn't have had the upcoming did i raise my hand and i said i
7:27 am
disagree. i don't think every student on this campus believes in the insane leftism we talk about every week student :. at least one person on this campus disagrees and even if i'm the only one who thinks to the contrary, we are doing our job here talking about politics. we're supposed to be creating student programming that benefits the student body, create stronger adults that can thrive in the real world. and you probably would have thought the sky was falling and that student government meeting and from that moment forward i experienced what it meant to be a conservative warrior and activist surrounded by the extreme leftism up-to-date academic environment . instantly in front of everyone in a crowded room like this i was called a racist and a white supremacist and nazi barbie. i suppose because of my
7:28 am
blonde hair. anti-woman, homophobic, you name it. the discussion went on for hours.members of my administration said nothing and all of this diatribe of leftist comments, these labels the left love to throw at conservatives was allowed to continue for hours. but the second i raise my hand lsto try to defend myself i was out by the person running the senate meeting saying i was too emotional and i wasn't nakeeping decorum. a couple weeks later i was sitting in our student government office avoiding any conversation whatsoever with all these people who were convinced i was some radical breezy right wing white supremacist on campus and i was scrolling through my social media on facebook only to find an ad popping up that was super pink and purple and sparkly and it had the faces of a few people i recognized, carly the arena who had run for president a few years ago and then shapiro because i saw some of his videos on facebook and tommy laren who i didn't know much about somebody said i bu looked like her so i recognized her name and it
7:29 am
was advertising something called the young woman's ve leadership summit for an organization called turning point usa. i had no idea what tv usa was in at this conference i have to google charlie perk was when he got onstage which is a great story we love to tell now something in my gut told me i had to attend this conference, maybe this was the answer for how isolated and alone i was feeling in my community so i went, i dragged my younger sister with me because i didn't want to go all alone and instantly from the first moment of that first turning point usa conference, i fell in love with what this organization is doing every day. finally, somebody got as a young woman in america i didn't need permission from the government for from my professors or other people in the community to do whatever i wanted to do in life. as an american i had a right to my american dream and nothing could hold me back from that as long as i had my at own passion and drive and determination to make that a reality.
7:30 am
i went back to campus and started a turning point usa chapter colorado state university if i thought the backlash for conservatives was bad beforethat i was about to find out how bad it would be . instantly i became known as turning point girl on campus or that conservative girl was the only person in the table in the heart of campus handing out socialism such funds or advertising for our meetings. i often was yelled and screamed with every profanity under the sun . i hope you die, you're the absolute worst. evi can't believe you're promoting this ideology but every once in a while ,, look around and make sure nobody they knew was around and they whisper at my table thank you for doing this. for the first time i see another conservative ithought i was the only one . that community continue to grow as the backlashcontinued to grow . with our first speaker coming to campus charlie kirk, i was
7:31 am
informed by the police department that it had been 10 years since a notable conservative had been invited to come speak on our campus. meanwhile bernie sanders came twice during my freshman year and we hosted known communist activist angela davis, paid for that with our student fees and former host melissa harris perry whoif you know anything about is an extreme leftist . these police officers were quietly so supportive of our events, they knew we were standing for what was right on campus and excited to help us out they had a tough job the next few weeks because as a turning point usa chapter president , i was given countless death threats, threats of coviolence and rape even from individuals that i worked with in student government, that i sat next to in class and even professors on campus and older people in my community. the day before the event, a one-bedroom apartment had onan address online because i gave an interview our local
7:32 am
newspaper on behalf of the turning point usa chapter so all of a sudden nowhere was safe. campus wasn't safe, student government wasn't safe and even where i live alone was not a safe place to be because i didn't do anything all that conservative. i just wanted progressive prdialogue and debate, truly progressive, not what the left is advocating for about ideological diversity. i wanted to talk about our differences of the opinion. what college is supposed to be all about, challenging your viewpoints, exposing yourself to new ways of thinking and maybe even changing your mind . despite all that insanity was absolutely worth it. at first event at 800 people come to see charlie kirk speak. there was lots of discussion and debate, racy protest outside . the national guard even had to come, the state of colorado's national guard and
7:33 am
we had snipers on top of the computer science building because our campus was so afraid of debate and discussion and asking aquestions of the guy who had been labeled as a crazy supremacist nazi all for being conservative. over the next few years we built such momentum with our turning point usa chapter on campus that i didn't even recognize my own community. we help events with candace owens on the csu plaza is an open space in the middle of campus where she changed people's minds table and event. brought dennis prager to campus, where 1200 students from across the state of colorado and wyoming came to hear a different perspective and a different point of view and by the time i was a senior, i saw hundreds of people walking around with turning point usa stickers on their wall or bottle, socialism sucks in on their backpacks and even maga apps on campus. when i was a freshman no one would be caught dead doing any of that and it's all comes down to one person
7:34 am
willing to be the first person. bit was never easy when i did any of these things and like a lot of you i get failing grades on assignments and i had professors not want to be my mentor anymore and i lost friendships along the way. my reputation probably wasn't as stellar as i intended it to be when i was a freshman. a lot more people knew me as turning point girl or that conservative girl and isabel brown, biomedical scientist. so i know what that's like. i live every day sometimes people need somebody else to be the first person, first person to raise their hand, first person to say something back to their teacher in class. the first person to post something on social media that everybody's thinking but nobody's willing to say and that was the most valuable lesson i've learned through my undergraduate institution at colorado state. by the time i graduated i transitioned into a very different space in the conservative movement . obviously i didn't go to medical school so my plans
7:35 am
changed after graduation but today i get to do all the same things i was doing on campus for turning point and i get to do it with all of you. and traveling the country, interacting with so many members of our amazing generation i've learned so much about what it means to be generation z. that's you and i, our n generation born in 1997 or later in the united states on 23, the first year of our generation and all you guys who are currently in college or in high school can call yourselves jen z igarea to hear a turning point we like to say that jen z is jen free and i talk about this a lot when i go on the news or when i'm on the radio or speaking to older crowds at fundraisers or state conventions and people scratch their heads wondering what that mean. when you hear the word millennial, shall a fewwords, what comes to mind ? liberal, blue hair, frail. give me a few more.
7:36 am
spoiled, i like that one. yes, what all these people said. private is, they throw temper tantrums. their insane leftists, i think socialist because that's all true. millennial's are the people who got down on the ground and screamed at the sky thinking it was the death of our country because their candidate of choice did not win . as what we associate with young people and when i people who are our parents and grandparents age, every time they think you in america, people like you and me think blue haired crybaby liberal, all the things you guys just said that's not d true about generation z. that's not true about you and me actually, the opposite is true. if you guys haven't heard this, this is specific to share with people in your community. tell your parents, tell your friends. jen z is been proven to be by several national polls to be
7:37 am
the most conservative generation, our country has seen since world war ii. that deserves exciting applause. that's a really really big deal, not just because we're but think of that transformation between millennial's will i started going to college with, the camper tantrum crybaby liberals and people like you and i area we are proud of america. they are patriotic about the place we live. we love free speech and the itability to build your american dream into a reality and we're notafraid to say . i know how scary it can be. i have lived that. i've been called every label the left can throw at a human being. you should read my dm's because i do this professionally after graduation but that was my experience as a student.
7:38 am
rii got the failing grades, i lost friends, i walked that road being the only outspoken conservative in my community as that group was continuing to grow on my campus so i did it. it is scary but remember what i said about being the first person? sometimes that's all people need to create a massive movementin your high school community or your church community . your sorority or another club at your apartment or a sports you might play outside of school and i'm often told from older people in particular that when people our age are extreme leftists, once they get to the real world after graduation they're just going to get it. they will get a job, have a boss where they have to answer to someonef , pay their taxes which is seriously not fun and your high schools are going to teach you how to do that. people assume young people are going to get the on college, get beyond this
7:39 am
crazy world of alternate reality and has rejected objective truth and they will wake up and be conservative at age 30, at age 40, at age 50. guys suffered the same if you're not a liberal when you're 20 you have no heart but if you're not conservative by the time your 50 you have no brain and have probably been true for several decades in the united states but we just watched the results of what happens when we embrace that apathy. in 2020 and now in 2021. an entire generation of people who were left alone either older generation because it was assumed they would be conservative when they graduated left their college campuses and brought that insanity with them. that insanity is now the real world so we can no longer take this idea of the real isworld for granted because look what happened last year. those ideas have permeated the halls of congress literally right now, our us senators are debating whether you 16 can vote in a federal
7:40 am
election. i remember what it was like to be 16 and it's an emotional roller coaster so i don't know that i would trust myself when i was 16 to choose the next president of the united states. i don't know if you guys would trust yourselves. you guys are more maturethan most 16-year-olds . evil are arguing now get rid of voter id requirements to vote. anybody can vote, multiple times probably if they wanted to get away withthat . there talking about getting rid of the first amendment with some of these committees in our united states congress because e the speech as they defined should be free speech . these are the ideological leaders of the political left . they are open socialists. they want ideologies like we see in cuba and venezuela and north korea tothrive in the united states .he wants the government tocontrol your entire life .n these ideas permeated corporate board rooms.
7:41 am
look what happened with coca-cola. could someone inform me how you could be less white as i have no idea what that looks like. if you try to change your skin color, seems a little suspect to me. that's my two cents on the issue. this is the ideology driving our corporations and there's a handful of corporations that drive all the information you see. what side are they controlled by western mark the left. these ideas are even permeating our streets in america. as we literally saw the most impactful, influential social group of our time, antifa and blm incorporated burn our society to the ground, raiding businesses, destroy people's livelihoods because potential he only ever been thought on their college
7:42 am
campuses was that our society had to burn to the ground to make way or something more progressive and more equitable the future, whatever that's supposed to look like for socialism. that's what happens when we abandon these ideas. we abandon this call to action to influence the people who are our age right now to have these tconversationslike you do with turning point usa . when you raise your hand and tell your professor what you just said is crazy or even your teacher in high school. when you fight back against these crazy decisions to stand for the things you believe in so i get told all the time young people will just grow up, they'll get it and you're too young. you've got to get more life experience. here's some interesting information you guys should share with people when they tell you that . in 1776 what document was signed and written? there we go.
7:43 am
declaration of independence, you may not have takenhistory yet . i want you to remember these. the signatories, the people who side the declaration of siindependence were not white guys and your professor is probably telling you that and we had that assumption wabecause we they wear white weights so they looked for in all our pictures and paintings in our understanding of us history james monroe when he signed the declaration of independence was 18 years old . john marshall was 20 years old, younger than me. ehrenberg, 20. alexander hamilton, 21. james madison was only 25 and thomas jefferson who wrote the whole gosh darn thing was only 33 years old in 1776. america has always depended on young patriots, young conservatives, young people
7:44 am
are proud of the country getting involved in the process. now in 2021 it's not that hard, you don't have to write the declaration of independence because that's already been done and it'snot rocket science . i've never taken a rocket science class but i have taken a lot of other classes and i argue organic chemistry is more difficult than some rocket science classes and having been there as a student like you got doing what i do professional i can tell you all of this review at turning point usa even at the highest levels of what we do here at hq boils down to one thing. tell the truth. in what ever way you possibly can to yourcommunity . 80 it's as easy as raising your hand and telling your professor or teacher know that's wrong and here's the fact behind it, here's the statistic i can back that up with.
7:45 am
maybe making a 32nd video about something crazy your principal says that everybody too afraid to say everybody's thinking to give someone else the courage to stand up and do something about it. maybe it was starting a turning point usa chapter and handing somebody a socialism soft spot. you may not think these tiny things one by one a huge difference but when you multiply every single one of those interactions by every single one of you and every single high school that we operate in in the united states and every college campus that we have a presence on, every time a person watches a turning point usa production, every time you have these discussions with your family around the dinner table, that is the modern american revolution. that's how you become countercultural to the left because they're controlling every aspect of culture from hollywood to congress and everything in between. doesn't have to look all that difficult but it does rely on every single one of you doing
7:46 am
a little bit of soul-searching and deciding hawhat your place and your call to action is tiwithin this culture war. i had no idea what thatlooked like for me . i still thought i was going to be a doctor through my last semester of college but i've learned that it doesn't matter how you decide to make a difference in the conservative movement. all that matters is you decide to do something to make a difference in the conservative movement and there's a secret i've been dying to let you in on. fake it until you make it. couple years ago i knew nothing about production or what it meant to be a person for an organization or go on national tv several times a week to talk to you being generation three and i'm doing what i do as a campus
7:47 am
movement that what you do is more important than what i do. i get to address a lot of people at once and it's exciting beyond my wildest dreams i would be doing the people i talk to every day are not my friends necessary. i don't sit next to them in class. i don't go home to them. they're not my teachers teaching me the subjects i learn every day in school. they don't necessarily get to know me but all of the people in your community do know you and when you talk the time to respectfully explain why free-speech matters, why capitalism is the answer to poverty that's when everybody
7:48 am
re: will sit up. i want you guys to think about what happened last year. i don't know about you but 20/20 was the worst year ever but if we embrace the apathy that every generation for us did, 2020 is going to look like kindergarten recess. i would rather have every generation look like you and me. have pride in our communities . want to preserve this american experience and share it generations to come so whether that's making avideo, writing a book, doing a show , there's more great stuff coming and that's the only piece i'm allowed to give you about the backdrop behind me.
7:49 am
it can be big or small but the actions you and i get to take in this culture war every day will make every generation to come generation free. thank you guys so much and i would love any of your questions . [applause] i think we're walking around with the microphone so if you have a question raise your hand and we will come to you. it can be about the book, my show with turning point or anything else. i think there was one right there. tell me your names because i want to get to know you i'm eric. i am a junior in high school and i'm 17 and my question for you is when i think about where i want to go in the future as far as my career about people like you or ben
7:50 am
shapiro or charlie kurt. youguys are the kind of guys i look up to . what's one piece of information you could give to somebody who is trying to go down that career path 's great question and it warms my heart and it's humbling that you guys think that of me. honestly i was in your seat as a college student so a few years older than you but two years older as a student having no idea what i was doing to get into this movement and how you get started building a following. the best advice i can provide to you is just get started. a lot of this stuff you figure out as you go at its trial and error and you have to fail a little bit. if you're willing to put your name out there and experiencing with what your unique brand will look like in the atconservative movement i guguarantee every one of you could be sitting here a year or two from now. all it takes is perseverance and diligence and willingness to put yourself out there and ask for opportunities.
7:51 am
i asked for jobs some of these organizations that i've been fortunate to work with that didn't exist. i wrote up business proposals which they did not teach me in organic chemistry so i tused the connections that i don't root turning point usa chapters and some of the i was part of to take that next step beyond what itmeant to be a student activist to do this professionally . so many other people i work with have similar situations and were all excited to reach our handout and help the next generation do that. it doesn't have to be in a fancy studio but is the video production is where your heart is going start making videos. like graham allen does in his driveway or in your living room and get your voice out there and hone in on the subjects you are most passionate about and i guarantee you will have success in the future 's on a first-year graduate student at acu, 23 years old and just
7:52 am
like you. so how do you get up for example to reach out to have a left makes so many stereotypes. how would you do reach out to other women and i say to myself also, for me to reach out to my fellow latinos. that we have to be liberal and principal and those principles are the ones that benefit women and those like myself we actually are conservative without even knowing it i love what you said and a lot of that is going to be my banswer to you . re: white guys, this answer won't apply to you but i promise are not the evil people the left wants to say you are. there's this assumption that because you fall into a certain group, you have to be a leftist and that's because the left has been so good over the last few decades and dividing america in as many
7:53 am
ways as possible and you're starting to see that division continue to grow over and over again with every alphabet letter added to lgbtq+. maybe you have several identities as a trans-woman of color who is disabled, you're more oppressed than everybody else in society the left is interested in identifying you as a group, not as an individual and no human being on earth wants to be identified with the group. i want to be there unique self even if they don't realize it at the time so regardless of what individual identity or person you're trying to reach out to whether that's a woman or a latino or a black american or anybody else who has a specific identity like guys included, you just explain to people that the left claims to value individuality. a claim to let you have autonomy over your own life and do whatever you want to
7:54 am
do in reality when you look tiat all these policies and when you look at how they are specifically identifying you as a group they're not interested in that at all. the easiest way to reach people in grad school or college or high school as step number one is do you want to have autonomy over your own life? your boss telling you what you need to do, and of course they're going to say no, i want to make my own decisions and that's a perfect catalyst to get thatconversation started . >> i can hear you. >> i'm jay and my question is , is this working? it's getting ridiculous now where even the onion is posting real news stories because they're more ridiculous and the reason i bring it up is because of that coca-colathing . so there's so much happening
7:55 am
right now, where'd you get your news from and what news sources you recommend? >> this is my most frequently asked question when i groups like you guys. the news is crazy and the news isn't actually the news because the media today is a lot more interested in driving your interests and what's happening in current events. so when things are crazy and need to be reported, you hear nothing. nothing from the media. for instance all these allegations against governor cuomo. wanted to address that problem with my show, with turning point usa every single day for one minute we're giving you guys facts and information and data and statistics about every subject under the sunday it's not my opinion, it's not what does charlie kurt think, it's giving you the facts and the
7:56 am
place you can go to learn more about that fact the whole you can take that information out into the world and use that as your metaphorical ammo to win america's culture more. i do all the research and writing of the scripts so i have a few places if you're looking for that in-depth information i wouldsuggest you go . first off, avoid mainstream media, objective media does not exist in 2021 and that's frustrating but we're trying to fill that gapin the market . the library of congress, latest thing you've ever heard in your life but they are with me because it's r helpful as something called the congressional research service . there's this massive part of the federal government most people don't know exists called the library of congress and we employ people from every country around the world are experts in the most minute subjects that have ever existed to rub write reports for our members of
7:57 am
congress and people who work in executive departments and agencies and easy-to-understand ways so bullet points that are maybe 10 to 15 pages long, you can get the just of what the subject is in depth from those things so check out congressional research service and if you're looking for more of a conservative leaning aspect, the heritage foundation provides great reads that are 2 to 4 pages on any issue under the sun with other data and statistics that you can jump to so utilize those when you have to write papers or prove somebody wrong as a subject. you're not going to have any bias associated with those that's hard to read so be prepared. they are academic and a little stiff. >> i'm through, an officer for the tcu chapter and my question is when you are writing your book, what was the most difficult aspect or one of the biggest obstacles
