00:01:38.000We've heard Lucas mentioned this new study that's out from George Barna showing that 51% of evangelical Christians aren't planning to vote in this election.
00:01:50.000I was just wondering if you could comment on that and share, do you have any thoughts about what's causing that level of apathy, number one?
00:01:57.000Number two, what can we do to change it in the little time we have left?
00:02:00.000Yeah, well, first, honored to be here, everybody.
00:02:02.000And Andrew, you do such a great job, and he should be applauded for the great work he does.
00:03:02.000And this was because of the Barna study and because of what I've been seeing.
00:03:07.000And again, we have the largest get out the vote turnout operation in the country with one goal to get Donald Trump back in the White House to save the country, right?
00:03:20.000And we can spend a lot of time at a future date, Andrew, you know, diving into why he's the best candidate, all that.
00:03:26.000I will talk about that from a Christian perspective.
00:03:28.000I think it's rather self-evident of exactly the stakes and what's going on.
00:03:33.000But what is so perplexing to me is that now this is my third or fourth major presidential cycle.
00:03:39.000And I've seen kind of the baseline of what we can expect out of church engagement.
00:03:43.000Why the church cares so little about the country at this particular juncture.
00:03:49.000And I can tell you, George Barna's data is correct because we see this from other pastor summits that were done by other organizations where people are going up saying, there is no good godly candidate here.
00:04:02.000I'm on these text message threads of some pastors that are saying, we are not going to tell our congregation to speak out whatsoever.
00:04:09.000And here I am, just kind of as the idle observer, doing everything I can to hold myself back.
00:04:14.000And I wanted tonight to be an opportunity to speak clearly, To the church, to the Christian community here, to not just encourage, but challenge, motivate, but also get off your tails and do something in this election right now.
00:05:09.000The muscular class, the working class of this country, the truck drivers, the plumbers, the electricians, the welders, the police officers.
00:05:23.000What I'm getting at is the missing ingredient is what we've always taken for granted is that the church actually cared about the nation.
00:05:31.000And I cannot say this, and I am not exaggerating it, George Barna, who is the gold standard of polling, this guy is not just some random person that they've selected, has said that we are on pace for a 13% decrease of Christian turnout.
00:05:45.000He has polled thousands of pastors, the vast majority of which will not even speak about this election.
00:05:51.000And this is a five-alarm fire in the clearest terms.
00:05:57.000The first of which is that there is this spirit of pomposity and self-righteousness that some pastors have decided to invoke where they will say, I am a Christian and I'm a believer in Jesus.
00:06:12.000Donald Trump is a sinner and I can't vote for a sinner.
00:06:16.000Now, for any of you that have opened your Bible, you know how outrageous this is?
00:06:19.000We are all sinners that fall short of the glory of God, and we need Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
00:06:27.000And, I apologize, I'm giving a longer answer, but this is...
00:07:27.000It was Donald J. Trump that gave you Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh the most pro-life victories we've ever seen in history.
00:07:58.000And yet it took a billionaire from New York, who wouldn't always necessarily go to church and live the colorful life, Not part of that spirit of pomposity and self-righteousness and sanctimonious garbage we see in our church too often.
00:08:10.000To get in the arena to fight for babies and save their lives.
00:08:17.000But they say, oh Charlie, you know, his rhetoric.
00:09:00.000When I went to the DNC in Chicago, which by the way, one of my greatest accomplishments ever, breaking into the DNC and getting onto the floor of the DNC. It's amazing.
00:09:08.000They truly are the party of open borders.
00:09:38.000And so, we're going to go really deep in the policy here, but just on that one sticking issue that I hear from pastors, he's not as pro-life as I would like to be, and I always say, did you vote for George W. Bush?
00:10:02.000You are too high on your own supply of Christian doctrine.
00:10:06.000And you don't like the fact that Donald Trump is not quoting Bible verses all the time, even the fact he's delivering victories for us Christians all the time.
00:10:13.000So maybe you should humble yourself before the Lord and realize he's being used as a vessel for God's purposes here in this country.
00:10:44.000Man, I don't have much to add to that.
00:10:49.000Where do you think we stand as far as the election goes?
00:10:53.000I know we're in a battle, but where do you think we are now?
00:10:55.000Let me tell you, the positive and the challenging is that the early voter turnout is amazing right now.
00:11:00.000I mean, in Georgia and North Carolina, where the terrible hurricane hit, despite the fact that people do not have internet, they don't have power, electricity, the colder weather is coming in, some peoples are home, homes are destroyed, the highest ever turnout they've seen in western North Carolina, despite all of that.
00:11:17.000They are literally crawling over debris to go vote in this election.
00:11:23.000In Arizona, we're beating them in early voting.
00:11:25.000We crushed them in voter registration.
00:11:27.000But this is not the time to celebrate.
00:11:28.000We are up against a beast, a machine that will do anything to hold on to power.
00:11:33.000And so that's why I'm here, because I'm looking at it and I'm saying, huh, this thing's going to be close, and we're playing without our anchor.
00:11:42.000We are playing like cut flowers right now.
00:11:44.000What happens when you cut flowers and you put them in a...
00:11:46.000You lose your foundation, those flowers die.
00:11:49.000And cut flowers is what's happening in the country.
00:11:51.000You cut out flowers from the church, which is the foundation, they're going to wither.
00:11:56.000And so I think our chances are 50-50 right now.
00:11:59.000But it wouldn't be 50-50 if the church spoke up.
00:12:02.000I'm telling you, if 31 million evangelicals are planning to stay at home, And it's easy to blame them, but who deserves the condemnation and the challenging is the trembling pastors that shake like a leaf if you dare say anything that might make people offended.
00:12:18.000Let's remind each other what church is.
00:12:21.000Church is not a place where you go to be affirmed.
00:12:25.000Church is a place where you go to be saved and corrected.
00:12:28.000It is not a place to be told about how your lifestyle is the greatest thing ever.
00:12:33.000You go there to be reminded that you need a savior and that your life is currently in error.
00:12:46.000Is it a church, which is about correction and elevating the divine?
00:12:50.000Or is it a place where a TED Talk occurs with organized parking, above average coffee, and a motivational speech, and good music with nice lights?
00:13:40.000Spoke out regularly against the slaughter of the unborn?
00:13:43.000Well, no, no, my pastor doesn't do politics.
00:13:45.000Oh, so you want Donald Trump to speak out on holy matters when the person you tithe an offer to that you call your home church won't even whisper about it.
00:14:09.000Another thing that I've heard people comment on is, well, they think that the 2020 election was stolen and that the vote is rigged, and so they just lose heart.
00:16:03.000And David Barton also made a point that there are hundreds and hundreds of cities that have tightened the voter thing, so we are making an improvement in that area.
00:16:14.000Let me ask you about the economy, because I think everybody recognizes that inflation is way up and everything.
00:16:21.000And I remember Kamala Harris, when she was asked about the economy, said that she inherited the worst economy in decades from Trump, which in my estimation is a bold-faced lie.
00:17:39.000It's because Kamala Harris decided to pump the economy with $6 trillion of unnecessary government spending, which then increases asset prices.
00:17:52.000This is why sand is cheap and diamonds are expensive.
00:17:56.000When you have more of something, it becomes worth less.
00:17:58.000When you have less of something, it becomes worth more.
00:18:01.000And additionally, which again is an issue I really want to emphasize here, when you have 10 million new people come into your country, and those people need a place to live, it will raise the asset price as well.
00:18:12.000So Kamala Harris has allowed the largest invasion in American history to occur In a short period of time, when people come in.
00:18:19.000You guys see it in Aurora, Colorado, of Trendelaga, taking over apartment complexes that we are currently subsidizing.
00:18:26.000And allow me to speak about this from a Christian perspective, because I don't hear this often from pastors, but...
00:18:32.000Not well-educated and wokey pastors, if I may, will fall for this immigration nonsense.
00:18:39.000And you'll see this, by the way, with these just repulsive he-gets-us advertisements that they run during the football games.
00:19:23.000And let's remember, God told us and showed us that he rebukes a one-world government.
00:19:29.000The idea of sovereignty and borders came out of Genesis 11, when Nimrod wanted to build the city of Babel of a oneness of the world, to build a city upon himself.
00:19:39.000And God scattered the people in all different lands and nations and different languages because God wanted smaller micro-communities of governance, not the World Economic Forum.
00:19:49.000Which of course is what Kamala is pushing us towards.
00:19:51.000But let's get to the inexcusable facts that every pastor in America should be speaking about.
00:19:57.000If I ask you a hypothetical, would a pastor be in error if he did not speak against slavery in this country?
00:20:04.000Would a pastor be in error if a pastor did not speak about how kids are being sold into sex slavery?
00:20:10.000Well, newsflash, there are more people being sold into slavery in this country right now on the southern border than any time in the last couple hundred years.
00:21:30.000Is looking down and a muscular 35-year-old pimp says, I'm her dad.
00:21:35.000And there is no DNA testing that occurs.
00:21:37.000So instead, they just say, sign on the paperwork, here's your asylum date, it's in three years, of course it never comes, and the girl is now a sex slave in the United States.
00:21:46.000Under Trump, we do a DNA test, be like, you're lying, that's not correct, we're going to find out who her parents actually are, because we're not going to co-sign to her becoming the worst thing that we could possibly tolerate.
00:21:56.000However, the church is uninterested in this.
00:22:00.000Pastors are too interested in bigger buildings and more budgets and not in the fact that kids, God's children, are being sold as sex slaves in our own country.
00:22:59.000Charlie, we want to go to some Q&A time, but I just want to ask one more question here, if we can, which is, everybody that's here and everybody that's watching online, what can we do to increase voter turnout among fellow Christians?
00:23:18.000But for those of you guys that are in good churches, you have to ask the questions of the people in your church.
00:23:24.000For example, if you have a small group, if you have community groups, you have text threads, go through your list and make sure all 20 are voting.
00:23:34.000And again, the way I look at it is that we have marriage ministries, we have prison recovery ministries, we have drug rehabilitation ministries.
00:24:11.000And you might say, well, that guy gave a nice sermon and it's just so nice and it's just so warm and I always, you know, leave feeling so good and they have good Easter service and Christmas service on my friends and they're silent on this.
00:24:21.000If your pastor remains silent after multiple loving but direct and truthful confrontations, you need to cut it off and say, I'm going to find another church.
00:24:30.000You have to stop supporting those churches because you are then a co-sponsor in a thing that you guys are all agreeing me with.
00:24:37.000You guys are then subsidizing and co-sponsoring the silence on the sex slavery on the border.
00:24:43.000It's easy to point fingers, but if you guys are putting $100 a week into a church that remains silent, then you guys are signing off on the silenced evil.
00:24:52.000So stop doing that and leave those churches.
00:25:03.000Well, I think we're ready to do some Q&A with the audience.
00:25:07.000We have ushers that have microphones and mic stands, and so they're going to get those in position there.
00:25:14.000And this will be available, I know, online.
00:25:17.000Please text this to your pastors, your friends.
00:25:19.000Let's make this conversation go viral, right, guys?
00:25:22.000I want the church to hear what we have to say tonight.
00:25:25.000Alright, so if you have a question for Charlie, just come on up and get in line.
00:25:29.000The usher's there at the end of the aisle.
00:25:31.000And looks like we've got some folks coming forward here, Charlie.
00:25:35.000So does TPUSA have any volunteer opportunities for people to help with this Get Out the Vote campaign?
00:25:41.000Yeah, again, we look to expand to Colorado in a future date.
00:25:46.000We are proving the model of ballot chasing, voter registration in Arizona, and a little bit in Wisconsin, other states, but really all in Arizona.
00:25:56.000They perfected the blueprint here in Colorado, and they're trying to bring it to Arizona.
00:26:00.000So I have to kind of quell their invasion temporarily, and then we can come back and do a rescue mission here in the state.
00:26:06.000I did talk to someone in the know, just so you know, yesterday, who said that the early returns on the mail-in ballots here, the Republicans are outpacing their performance in 2020, and the Dems are underperforming based on 2020.
00:27:00.000Because he binds kindness and truth around his neck and writes it on the tablet of his heart that he has favor and good standing with you and with man.
00:27:13.000And I thank you, Lord, that you surround him with a hedge of protection and that everything that you want for this country is coming to fruition in Jesus' name.
00:27:37.000I went to all your Turning Point conventions over the summer, volunteered for you in Boulder, bought all your books, listened to your podcast, write postcards to swing voters with Turning Point accent.
00:28:44.000My question is, how as a 19-year-old Christian girl do I motivate people to actually fight for this country by chasing ballots, testifying at the Capitol, or signing postcards or door knocking?
00:29:25.000Well, the low-hanging fruit are the people that work with their hands, regardless of skin color, especially men that do not have a place in the Democrat Party.
00:29:33.000You need to find them, register them, and bring them into the fold, the same way the Democrats have become the party of the college-educated voter.
00:29:40.000Now, I will tell you the challenge of Colorado.
00:29:43.000The challenge of Colorado is that it is the second most college-educated state in the country, Massachusetts being one, Colorado being two.
00:29:50.000Now, that's bad because, obviously, you go to learn to hate the country and hate yourself and believe there's no God when you go to college.
00:29:55.000Unless it's, you know, Carys Bible College, of course, right?
00:30:01.000The college-educated problem is a longer problem.
00:30:04.000But there are, and I don't know the numbers, hundreds of thousands, I know, on the western slope of people that are not registering and not voting.
00:32:36.000He doesn't like to come all these people because for our job, they take a lot of our income because they go to the low basis.
00:32:45.000So we have to go lower because they go much lower.
00:32:49.000So, basically, in all the time that I listen to you, I never hear something that promotes the Latino vote.
00:32:59.000I hear that you say, well, if they come here illegally, they have to go.
00:33:03.000I understand that, but there is some people like me, you know, I come here, I have my papers, I think that I own something for the country, I do myself as a volunteer for the fire department, Because I own something for my community.
00:33:18.000But from the perspective of gaining Latino votes, I don't see that connection.
00:33:27.000And I think that's really important for what we're doing right now.
00:33:57.000In Arizona, we're doing record numbers with Hispanics.
00:34:01.000And I want to just be clear, I say it all the time, but I'll say it again, which is that you came here legally with your papers.
00:34:07.000And it is an injustice that other people can cut in line and defraud our system and get benefits, which then makes you feel like, well, why did I do it the right way when people cut in line?
00:34:20.000We want illegal immigration to be punished and legal immigration to be rewarded.
00:35:05.000The Republican Party is becoming the party of the middle class.
00:35:08.000By definition, if you're the party middle class, eventually you will win elections because there's more people in the middle class than in the elite or in the permanent underclass.
00:35:17.000And so, love that feedback and thank you so much.
00:35:55.000And I listen to podcasts all the time.
00:35:57.000I take learning, I call it going to the intellectual gym, right?
00:36:02.000The same way that a bodybuilder goes to the gym every day, someone who's in my space has to constantly be consuming content, reading books.
00:36:09.000I'll give you a couple of reads that changed my life.
00:36:11.000Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is a game changer.
00:36:16.000It's very important to remember when you're reading Mere Christianity, it was originally delivered as radio addresses during the Blitz in London.
00:36:25.000The second book is not a Christian book, but it points to Jesus, which I think is one of the most powerful books of the 20th century, which is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
00:36:34.000Viktor Frankl lost everything in the Holocaust, survived a concentration camp, and he believes that outside of the absolute immediate necessities, food and water, that the number one Need of humanity is meaning.
00:36:47.000It is not sex, it's not power, it's not money, but it's meaning.
00:36:52.000And I think if you read it now, like about 50, 70 years later, now that we're living through a society that has electricity for everybody, Wi-Fi, cell phones, we're wealthy, but we're also suicidal, depressed, anxious, alcohol, and medically addicted.
00:37:07.000Viktor Frankl's hypothesis 70 years later that he developed in a concentration camp is more true than ever.
00:37:14.000Where he realized in the concentration camp that the person, even though that they were the sickest person and the weakest person, if they had a reason to survive in the concentration camp, they would.
00:37:25.000The person that got sick that gave up hope would die within 48 hours.
00:37:30.000And then that points to Jesus, because Jesus is ultimate meaning.
00:37:34.000Just off the top of my head, the third one, which is a unique one, again, I'm just kind of riffing on this, would be the book that built your world, or the book that changed your world, by an Indian author by the name of Vishal Mangawaldi.
00:37:50.000He makes the argument that we as Christians have no idea how much the Bible and Christian worldview have built America and that everything we think is common sense is actually Christian sense.
00:38:21.000It's not normal to say that murder is wrong.
00:38:23.000We discard babies all the time in India.
00:38:25.000And he says, from an Indian perspective, you come to America, you realize that the Bible has built this unbelievable society and civilization.
00:39:58.000And there are plenty of churches in Georgia.
00:40:00.000But boy, the quality of churches has just gone down.
00:40:03.000I mean, Georgia is like the home of the weak and the cowardly and the trembling that don't speak out.
00:40:09.000And so there is a population there that is culturally Christian.
00:40:14.000But they're not being fed a biblical worldview.
00:40:17.000And that's one of the reasons why Georgia is a perfect example, everybody, of a state that was once reliably Christian, conservative, Republican, that has become a battleground state, and it is solely because of the church.
00:40:29.000It is exhibit A, numero uno, of what happens when the church no longer takes its rightful role as counselor of the king.
00:43:15.000What you're pinpointing on the living wage stuff, one of my passion projects is to teach economics to pastors, because I find that economic literacy amongst pastors, would you agree with that, Andrew?
00:43:36.000If you think about it, if we believe that God designed the heavens and the earth and everything within, and that God gave us dominion to take this earth for man for his purpose, then we believe that the laws of physics and the laws of mathematics are all meant as the language of the natural world so that we can flourish.
00:44:45.000There's a couple big proposals in the Colorado voting right now that are really hard to see and hurt my heart a lot.
00:44:52.000One, repealing the definition of marriage.
00:44:54.000And the second one is codifying abortion in the Colorado Constitution.
00:44:57.000And the specific one I want to get into is they're trying to make it so that the state taxes can start funding abortion health care in the state.
00:45:06.000So from this point forward, I assume that'll get passed just with how Colorado votes.
00:45:11.000From this point forward, I mean, hopefully we can get it.
00:45:44.000I'm trying to talk to as many people as I can to vote against it, but my moral conundrum is, if I stay in the state past that point, if it gets passed, then my tax dollars will be going to support abortion.
00:45:54.000And so I'm stuck between voting with my feet and moving to a more conservative state to show that these laws aren't okay, or staying in a state like Colorado and actually fighting against the laws actively.
00:46:04.000And I'm not sure what would be more effective.
00:47:04.000But guys, understand that the Catholic faithful is far more outspokenly pro-life than your average evangelical church.
00:47:11.000And I think that needs to be repeated and that needs to be internalized.
00:47:14.000I'll just give my example in Scottsdale and I will get to your question.
00:47:17.000In Scottsdale, the Archdiocese of Scottsdale, Father Klein, has said if you vote for a Democrat this cycle, you are in rebellion of the Catholic Church.
00:47:45.000It would be very difficult for me to work as hard as I work, to pay as much as I pay in taxes, and know that would go towards the slaughter of the unborn.
00:48:14.000I am, first of all, it's nice to see you first-hand Charlie and to the great pastors and great speakers and the presentation.
00:48:21.000I would have to say, you know, as an independent radio show host for decades since Trump declared his running for president, you know, to be on the front lines on this and the right side of history, by the way, I got two questions.
00:48:33.000One of them is, what happens if they don't certify the election and Not only that, how do we stop the steal, especially with everything that's happening in this country right now?
00:48:46.000So the first question is a super smart question.
00:48:49.000And that is not getting enough attention.
00:48:52.000And I'm intentionally not covering it on my radio program and podcast because it's not relevant.
00:48:57.000Not yet, and it will be, but we have a whole plan for it.
00:49:00.000Guys, we have Jamie Raskin saying that if they win the House of Representatives, that they might not certify Donald Trump as the winner.
00:49:07.000Now, these are the people that attack Donald Trump for even asking questions about the 2020 election.
00:49:14.000Guys, we have to keep the House of Representatives for that reason and that reason alone.
00:49:18.000And you guys have seats here in Colorado that are going to really matter.
00:49:22.000And so, Colorado might not send its electoral votes for Trump, but it very well might decide whether or not Trump can actually serve as President of the United States.
00:49:30.000And so you have to win these House of Representatives seats.
00:49:34.000Do you guys understand what he's talking about technically here?
00:49:36.000If you're not, let me just explain it to you.
00:49:37.000Is that even though if you win the Electoral College, the Electoral College meets in mid-December.
00:49:41.000You guys remember they transmit their votes all the way to Congress.
00:49:44.000Congress meets on January 6th to go through a performative Quote, unquote, ceremonial vote, as they say now.
00:49:49.000But the House of Representatives can decide not to certify the election.
00:49:53.000Which, of course, what they attacked us for back in 2020, for asking the questions about the sloppiest, most fraudulent election in American history.
00:50:00.000And yet, this time, they're saying they won't do it because he's a felon or that, all this sort of stuff.
00:50:21.000And every blue state voter in California and New York, vote for your Republican House of Representatives because you're actually voting it as a proxy for Donald Trump becoming President of the United States.
00:50:42.000We're too late in the game, honestly, for some of it.
00:50:44.000We need poll watchers and all that stuff.
00:50:46.000The most assured way is that we have to overwhelm the system with so many ballots and so many people and do what we did in 2016 and make it too big to rig.
00:52:28.000Obviously, no drugs, no alcohol, none of that stuff.
00:52:30.000And that's how I'm able to, you know, do 18 hours every day, talk 11 hours a day, travel the country.
00:52:35.000And the scriptures tell us it, that your body is a temple.
00:52:38.000And what you put into your body is actually a form of worship or of desecration to the Lord.
00:52:45.000And you need to be reminded of that, that since your body is a temple, if you are putting substances that actively hurt your body but consume your flesh, then you aren't using your body as a way to elevate to the Lord.
00:52:56.000And so, how can we get back to a more healthy track?
00:53:00.000This is why I am thanking God that Bobby Kennedy has endorsed Donald Trump and is part of his agenda.
00:53:09.000I could give an hour-long speech on this.
00:53:31.000Something is happening, and it's the environmental pollutants that It very well might be that ridiculously aggressive childhood vaccination schedule.
00:53:39.000I'm not here to tell you what to do with your kids, but you got to use some logic and common sense here.
00:53:43.000If you are just pumping vaccines into a beautiful six-month-old baby, You guys make your own decisions.
00:53:50.000That's the end of Charlie Kirk's commentary on that.
00:53:52.000But I'm a big medical freedom advocate on that.
00:53:58.000But most importantly, I think it is the food and the food supply.
00:54:01.000If you just take one example of hundreds, for example, Kellogg's cereal.
00:54:08.000If you put up Kellogg's cereal versus Canadian cereal, Kellogg's cereal in America is colored with blue dye 22 and Xantham gum and red dye 84, which is illegal and forbidden in Canadian cereal.
00:54:22.000And these ingredients have been shown to...
00:54:25.000Increase likelihood of autism, behavioral disorder issues, attention deficit disorder issues, and yes, obesity.
00:54:52.000What Donald Trump will do is he will send Bobby Kennedy in like a heat-seeking missile into the FDA and the CDC. And he will blow up the food pyramid.
00:55:04.000He will get rid of these people that use this fake science that's saying, oh actually highly processed foods are good for you, which is a bunch of garbage and nonsense.
00:55:13.000We will promote from the top down a whole food diet where it's not heavy on rice and grains and potatoes and elevates lean proteins and healthy fats.
00:55:22.000Which literally is what helps create brain material.
00:55:25.000Raw brain material literally comes from healthy fats.
00:55:28.000We've demonized fats, even though fats are what's the most necessary thing for you to live.
00:56:17.000All right, so I got two questions for you.
00:56:18.000They're kind of, they're not really similar, so I'm going to start with the first one.
00:56:22.000Back in 2020, when I paid attention to the election with Biden's campaign and him versus Trump, they didn't really push on Biden's campaign too aggressively, to the best of my knowledge.
00:56:35.000It didn't look like they were trying at least as hard as they are for Kamala.
00:56:39.000And it just got me wondering, do you think they are scared to cheat again in any sort of way?
00:56:45.000Because they are trying so much harder to push Kamala than they were for Biden.
00:56:50.000And I feel like they feel like now they cannot cheat in the same way they did before.
00:56:54.000Do you feel like they are scared to cheat?
00:56:57.000Scared might be one explanation for it.
00:57:35.000Yeah, and the second question is, for an 18-year-old, you know, starting out in this broken economy, thanks to the Biden campaign and Kamala and all of them, what do you think the best advice for just an 18-year-old just starting out in life is as of right now?
00:57:52.000First of all, the best investment are things that you can invest in yourself.
00:57:55.000So the knowledge base, take Hillsdale online courses, the books that you read.
00:58:00.000Look at life as to what you ought to do and what you need to do, not what you deserve, and not what you think you're entitled to.
00:58:06.000The sooner as a young man you realize that you have a duty to your country, to the divine, to build a family and have kids, not that the world has to send you something, the happier you will be, the more productive you'll be, and the more meaningful life that you will live.
00:58:55.000So I have more of like a personal question.
00:59:04.000With how busy your schedule is and everything, I'm just wondering how you keep your relationship with Jesus, like the main thing in your life practically, day to day, like how that looks because you're doing so many good things, good works, just how that looks like.
00:59:17.000Well, it's one of my favorite questions because it's actually what my next book is going to be all about, which you'll have me back.
00:59:22.000My next book is called Stop in the Name of God, the Case for the Sabbath, which of course Shabbat literally means stop.
00:59:29.000I am not Seventh-day Adventists, but I do believe that the Shabbat or the Sabbath is the mystery, the secret that so many Christians overlook that is the gateway to allow you to observe the other nine commandments and to put Jesus first.
00:59:43.000I'm not saying this in a legalist way.
00:59:45.000I'm not even saying that you're biblically commanded to do it.
00:59:47.000I'm saying you're missing out if you are not obeying the Sabbath.
01:00:36.000Thank you for putting this all into existence.
01:00:39.000Thank you for giving us what we have around us.
01:00:41.000So I believe in a country where we are so distracted, that we are so suffocated, that we are flooded with Texts and emails and pings and dings and Netflix and Hulu.
01:00:51.000That maybe we look back to the scriptures of the thing that we're missing.
01:00:54.000That a country where we used to shut it down for one day.
01:03:23.000I love that sound clip at the beginning of your show where he says, folks, he's running the White House, you know, and I know you're very proud of that.
01:03:41.000But to young people, there's great freedom, there's great independence, there's great ownership, there's great pride and confidence that comes to starting a business.
01:03:49.000Not everyone knows, although your fans know, that you started Turning Point at 18 and Look what it's become.
01:03:56.000Became an advisor to the President of the United States in your 20s.
01:04:00.000I'm not trying to give you strokes, but I'm trying to say.
01:04:21.000I graduated high school, took a gap year.
01:04:23.000It's been 12 gap years, and we'll see if I go back.
01:04:28.000Yeah, so to start a business, it's a long question.
01:04:31.000I know we're over time already, but let me just say this when it comes to start a business, which is that going to zero to one is the hardest thing.
01:04:39.000Find someone who is good at your craft, who is great at your craft, and try to mentor under them or work for them for a short period of time.
01:04:47.000But the most important thing about starting a business as an individual is that it doesn't matter if you're doing aluminum siding, a carpentry business, a plumbing business, auto mechanic.
01:05:30.000And it did such good for me being 18, 19, 20 in this space when people thought it was crazy and nuts and all that.
01:05:36.000And finally, search for your big break because it will come.
01:05:39.000If you work hard enough as a young person, you would be amazed at how many people that have made it that are willing to give you a contract that you don't really deserve, willing to kind of give you a break they don't deserve because they feel for you as a young person.
01:06:42.000Just if you got one more person to vote who wasn't otherwise going to vote, who's going to vote according to biblical values, it could make a huge difference.
01:06:51.000Remember, if we could put that slide on the screen of the Civic Action Checklist, again, if you guys have that available, you can also get that QR code at the Truth and Liberty booth.
01:07:00.000Stop by our booths and the Turning Point booths and every other thing out there and take advantage of all those resources.
