Christian Collins - Texas Youth Summit Founder Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so some signs are popping up. We are
told Trump and vance signs and Ted Krud's cruise signs
inside the loop, maybe begging the question, are conservatives finally
coming out from the shadows, not afraid to show who
they support, and actually say we are here, let's talk
about it. Christian Collins, Texas Youth Summit founder, joining us

(00:22):
here on news radio seven forty k t a h. Christian,
good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thank you so much for having me on.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's good to have you. Yeah, I'm Bob sitting in
for Jimmy and I'm glad to talk to you. Let's
talk about these signs. This is this a sign? Are
those signs indicative of maybe a little bit of the
shift in the mindset of conservatives to say we're here
and we're not afraid to say so.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well. Absolutely. I think a lot of conservatives probably felt
because of their employee employment situations that they weren't able
to talk about this. But it's just come to the
point with the economy being in decline like it's never been.
They've felt it at the grocery store, at the pub.
They look at the foreign policy and see that we're
on the brink of World War three. They look at it,

(01:06):
you know, because our southern border is wide open, and
that you know, their kids are going to school, and
there's this radical gender ideology that's being pushed on them,
and they understand that they've got to take a stand.
And I think people like Elon Musk and Robert F.
Kennedy who have come out and support of President Trump
have made them more bold and realized, Okay, we have

(01:26):
to stand up now or we're not going to have
a country.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Sure, that's part of it. I live inside the loop,
and I just know that people who might be Trump supporters,
a lot of them don't want to do that because
they feel the Democrats more likely to attack them than
Conservatives are to attack Democrat signs. That's been my experience.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
That's probably true. I mean, these are neighborhoods that they
have to continue to live in after the election, and
so they want to play nice and be careful. But
I think a lot more people have stood up because
they recognize that if this country is going to continue
to be the United States of America, if we are
going to continue to be a two party system, we can't.

(02:14):
We have to stand up now. I think the flood
of illegal immigration. If we've had over fifteen million illegal
immigrants come across our southern border and they've been shipped
to swing states, there's six wing states. And Elon Musk
said this the other day. He says, if this continues
for four more years, there will be no more swing states,
and thus we will be a one party system, just
like California. We can't have that in Texas, and we

(02:37):
can't have that in the United States of America. We've
got to stand up right now. And I think people
realize that.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Do you think Christian that some of the negative attacks
that continue to be made against conservatives are starting to
are starting to really be felt by them. The backlash
in other words, calling us garbage is not new, you know, deplorable, irredeemable,
bitter clingers, in all these other things. Now calling women
we can stupid. If you are a Trump support, you
think this is finally starting to cost them?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, I think at hominem's have an effect initially, but
if the word Nazi is used over and over and
over and over again on President Trump, after a certain point,
when people realize, okay, he's built the broadest coalition that
we've ever seen in politics. You know, people recognize that
that simply isn't true. Over forty nine percent of Hispanics

(03:29):
are supporting I'm only thirty nine percent of Hispanics are
supporting Kamala Harris, according to a CBS poll Are You
to Say Today?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Polled the other day.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
So it's it's obvious to many people that these names
are not true, and they're voting for, you know, not
their favorite person ever, but they're voting on the policies.
And politics is important because policy is important, because people
are important, and those policies have real effects on the people.
So many people are coming out and voting because of

(03:59):
the policy. My pastor, for example, has never ever spoken
out about politics, and the seven years I've attended church there,
he gave a really great sermon the other day on
why Christians should get involved in the political process and
vote now according to your biblical values, and it was
really good.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, Trump is able to Trump has been able to
get his message out in all sorts of unorthodox ways
on the Internet and with podcasting and these massive rallies,
And I personally believe that Americans are ready to be
hopeful about their future. They're ready to think that there's
a future to be had, and they're tired of the division,

(04:37):
and they're tired of this endless joylessness that comes out
of the side of the Democrats, which is nothing more
than screeching and haranguing about what a bad person Donald
Trump is.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, you're and you're absolutely right, and what a bad
person we all, what bad people we all are for
supporting him. That's exactly right. And it's so funny that
the campaign of joy is the one with the most
hatred coming out of their mouths. Thank you so much
for coming on. We certainly appreciate your perspective on all
of this.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Thank you so much.
