Will be tweeting details below.

Outside the main hall:
Show starting. Crowd has filled in a bit more.
We begin with a film in which Crenshaw and others are ostensibly looking for BBQ. It’s mostly jokes about pronouns, safe spaces and at least one Austin jab.
Ronald Reagan is here.
Crenshaw is talking in front of a slideshow of Reagan while taking about taxes, the welfare state, juvenile delinquency, a society security system “built on a house of cards” (quoting Reagan) and other traditional conservative issues.
There is A LOT of Regan talk so far.

Crenshaw now calling for a "new Reagan revolution." He takes a jab at AOC and what he says is her lack of relevant knowledge/experience. But then says that you don't "fight fire with fire," IE other politicians with a lack of relevant experience/knowledge.
Some of the speech
Jordan B. Peterson is now zooming in from Finland to talk about the war on Western Civilization, Protestantism, the Priesthood of Believers and weaponized "identity."
He says Protestantism + liberalism "has given rise in part to these identity claims."
He says Protestantism + liberalism "has given rise in part to these identity claims."
I'll upload the full clip later on his Priesthood of Believers portion.
Missed this earlier but Crenshaw came in on a Delorean — which is an interesting choice given the heavy focus so far on Reagan + this being a youth summit, and that (by my estimate) 90% of the attendees weren’t alive for Back to the Future.
Some more context here:

An audience member just asked Peterson if its better to be a jack of all trades or a master of one.
Peterson: "It's better to be both."
Peterson: "It's better to be both."
As Jordan B Peterson hits minute 4 in response to this question, let’s take a look inside the literature at every seat:
Peterson now talking about “bloody social media” platforms and “narcissists/psychopaths” (who he says account for 3% of the population) who overrun social media; “and with no regulation whatsoever.”
He then says he has a problem with people who use social media for attention.
He then says he has a problem with people who use social media for attention.
Peterson continues by calling for more regulations online, including in comment sections. (Which, unless I’m missing something, is an interesting take given that the Texas GOP is currently fighting precisely the opposite in court)
There is now a session on climate change
Outside, attendees being asked if “God had a voice in your classroom.”
