00:02:17.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:23.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:03.000Kind of give us an update and talk about the new film coming out, which is all about Sound of Hope, about the foster care system, this incredible story.
00:07:29.000I'm just saying, like, that's the, whenever we try to get these laws fixed, they say you realize why we put them in the first place is because the pedophiles are not affected by the family.
00:07:37.000So why are 90% of the kids being sex trafficked in the United States coming out of the system?
00:08:02.000That this is something, I mean, adoption is Christian doctrine.
00:08:05.000We believe that we are adopted by God in the book of Romans.
00:08:08.000Yeah, it's very clear in the New Testament.
00:08:09.000Yes, that our being born new is adoption by other means.
00:08:14.000The scary thing is that culturally, we're moving so far away.
00:08:18.000Like, Christians, even though it makes up the vast majority of the United States, we're moving so far away from these basic values that Christians are being attacked on how they're parenting their kids, if they're homeschooling their kids, if they're not affirming their kids, or whatever it may be.
00:08:33.000And so, culturally, you're almost moving into a period where it's, I believe, it's going to be more and more difficult for Christians to adopt.
00:08:43.000There's a case in Seattle right now where there's a guy who's in a fight to be able to adopt just because they don't accept his views on, I think it's on the trans issues.
00:09:00.000There's a huge undertone surgery of people trying to prevent that.
00:09:05.000And these are the people that we want to adopt kids the most.
00:09:08.000They're the ones who have families and that believe in God and are trying to distill principles of the greatest privilege of having a mother and a father.
00:09:17.000Like that is the group that should be getting all the walls broken down wherever possible to make sure they're the right family and then getting them in and helping them that way.
00:09:27.000So last year, on the 4th of July, we made the world aware of the problem of child sex trafficking.
00:10:14.000And then on July 3rd and July 4th, and that whole week and starting July 3rd and July 4th, we are launching the movie nationwide.
00:10:23.000And if we can make a big enough sound with this movie, then we solve, like, if one in four churches did what this little tiny church did, the whole entire foster care problem is solved.
00:10:38.000Why do you think churches have been, is it just kind of these are the undesirable kids?
00:10:42.000I hate to be so cruel, but it's like, is that kind of the stigma that these are the kids of drug addicts and forgotten?
00:11:10.000We're talking about actually adopting them, not just hosting them for six months.
00:11:15.000Finding the churches that are willing, the families in there that are willing to bring a child into their home and surround that family with support.
00:11:24.000Because the reality is, is we don't know who in the United States is going to be ready and have the right resources or be emotionally ready.
00:11:32.000But let's allow the message to get out there and let the spirit come in and touch the people who need to actually help and solve this problem.
00:11:42.000Look, is it hard for you to go to sleep?
00:11:43.000I could tell you, I've done one thing that has changed my ability to fall asleep.
00:11:48.000Ever since I started adding magnesium breakthrough to my nightly routine, I've been able to quiet my mind and get the best sleep ever.
00:11:54.000Once I started taking magnesium breakthrough, my sleep completely changed.
00:11:58.000Now I have no problem falling asleep and waking up refreshed and energized.
00:12:01.000For me personally, magnesium breakthrough has helped solve my sleep problems.
00:12:05.000From winding down at the end of a stressful day to tossing and turning to waking up groggy, magnesium breakthrough has been a game changer.
00:12:11.000Unlike other magnesium supplements that might give you one or two forms of magnesium, magnesium breakthrough contains all seven forms, magnesium, designed to help calm your mind, help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed.
00:12:22.000Over 75% of the population is magnesium deficient.
00:12:25.000And what most people don't know is that they're taking a magnesium supplement, they're still deficient if you're not getting all seven forms.
00:12:31.000Don't miss out on the most relaxing sleep ever with magnesium breakthrough.
00:12:35.000For an exclusive offer for my listeners, go to magbreakthrough.com and type in Kirk to save 10%.
00:12:41.000Nurture your mind and body with this all-natural full-spectrum magnesium supplement.
00:13:01.000There's more kids that have temporary time in the foster care system where their parents are trying to work out alcoholism or something that they're struggling with, but they can get their kids back.
00:13:13.000There's over 100,000 who are basically without a homeless.
00:13:36.000They get moved from house to house to house because of every foster parents.
00:13:42.000And depends on, you know, I have family who have, on my wife's side of the family, that have actually gone through this experience.
00:13:48.000And they had the desire to adopt a little girl that they were helping foster and they knew the family around them.
00:13:57.000But it took so much time, energy, and resources that most people, even good families, would give up by then, where they just said, you know what, this is too complicated.
00:14:16.000But clearly the barriers that we have in place are not the right ones because the exact opposite behavior is happening.
00:14:22.000And so it's, you know, being able to find a family who actually wants to say, I want to permanently bring this person into my home and adopt them as a member of my family.
00:15:32.000And not just like little babies, like the teenagers and kids that have been in the foster system for a long time.
00:15:38.000And they changed so many children's lives.
00:15:43.000A key component of that is, to Jeff's point, is it's similar to what last year happened with child sex trafficking in that everybody knew that that was happening, but there wasn't a fire that was lit under culture and society where they said, holy smokes, this is so pervasive and they need to do something about it.
00:16:01.000And that's the empower of entertainment.
00:16:02.000That's why entertainment molds culture into something beautiful or into something very dark.
00:16:08.000And so, you know, Angel's mission is to tell stories that amplify light.
00:16:11.000And similar to how, you know, we've heard from, you know, the child sex trafficking nonprofits around the globe reaching out to us saying, we've had way more resources poured into our organizations.
00:18:10.000And so what's going on in the nation right now is over 400,000 kids are in the foster system, over 100,000 are waiting to be adopted.
00:18:19.000While we have over 400,000 local churches on every street corner sitting there lifting up the name of Jesus while this is happening under our nose.
00:18:29.000But if we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable amongst us, then what do we have?
00:18:43.000And the children can't take the noise anymore.
00:18:46.000And how do we as a community, not only the church, but how do we rally everyone to step in for kids because they are the future?
00:18:54.000For us to be able to see this, this come to fruition, this movie of their story and what it can compel other churches and other families to step forward and do the same, what this one little community can do.
00:19:08.000Imagine if all the churches around the world did the same.
00:19:12.000Would there be any kids in the foster care system, let alone available for adoption, if the church raised fairies?
00:19:26.000And I feel like we need to make it known that this is what's happening and we need to make it stop.
00:19:31.000I just pray that something in this movie makes your heart jump and you want to go out and be involved in the foster care crisis because people like you are people who change the world.
00:19:42.000And if you feel that tugging at your heart, don't ignore it.
00:20:37.000And we turn to each other and we're like, are we going to adopt?
00:20:44.000I believe that this film can change the world.
00:20:50.000And, you know, if we can get those 100,000 kids adopted, I mean, look at Steve Jobs was adopted.
00:20:58.000There are great world-changing people inside of that group of kids.
00:21:03.000And the key is, is to get it out, get the movie out in a big way in the summer box office so everybody's talking about it so that the families who God needs to speak to, he can reach them.
00:21:16.000Because stories are how you reach people's hearts.
00:21:56.000So the movie's coming out on Independence Day weekend, and we want to try to make it a really big thing.
00:22:04.000And so will this be available in theaters all across the world?
00:22:06.000It will be available in theaters all across the country.
00:22:08.000A key piece is that people go and they show their support now by going to angel.com slash hope.
00:22:15.000That signals to the theaters, hey, there's a lot of demand for this.
00:22:19.000And it signals to the world how important these type of stories are.
00:22:23.000And so don't wait until July 3rd or 4th.
00:22:26.000It's really important that you go to angel.com slash hope and that you get your tickets early because it allows us to get to more locations, larger auditoriums, bigger screens.
00:22:35.000Yeah, right now I think we have 1,500 theaters across the country.
00:22:39.000But you really want, like, Sound of Freedom reached up to 3,000 theaters.
00:22:43.000And so what does it take to get to that scale?
00:22:46.000You just an initial good weekend, is that right?
00:22:48.000Initial, well, no, it takes pre-orders.
00:22:50.000Like, people need to go in and buy their tickets now.
00:22:53.000If this is a movie that interests you, just get on angel.com slash hope, buy your tickets.
00:22:58.000It doesn't cost anything to change the times.
00:24:03.000It competed with Martin Scorsese's Silence.
00:24:06.000It actually beat it in the domestic box office.
00:24:08.000It was right on their par with Mark Wahlberg's Father Stew.
00:24:12.000These stories, it's such a beautiful story.
00:24:15.000And then Sights in Theaters right now, and it actually just, it's a smaller release, but it actually just broke a record that's never been done before.
00:24:22.000Never on a Memorial Day weekend has a movie opened up.
00:24:26.000And on the Monday of Memorial Day weekend, does it do better than its opening day?
00:24:38.000And that's about the Cultural Revolution.
00:24:40.000Dr. Ming Wing, who came over, fled communist China, becomes an eye doctor, and changes the entire world through a revolutionary surgery that he created.
00:24:51.000Millions of kids now have sight because of Dr. Ming's procedures.
00:25:04.000One of the films that's coming this Thanksgiving is the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer called Bonhoeffer, who was a pastor, an assassin, and a spy.
00:25:12.000I mean, the guy is amazing, and his story is incredible.
00:25:15.000But the key to all these things happening is the Angel Guild, which we're going to obviously go into.
00:25:20.000But that is the catalyst that an individual can come in and they can help us make the decisions of which films should be released, which TV shows should come out, and they can actually craft and help us mold culture in the way we want to.
00:25:36.000Hey guys, prepare to witness a journey of resilience, courage, and redemption in Angel Studios' upcoming new film, Sight, hitting theaters May 24th.
00:25:46.000I had a chance to watch it, and it's such an extraordinary true story that captures your heart and leaves your spirit inspired.
00:25:52.000It's everything awe-inspiring that you'd expect from Angel Studios, and you can buy your tickets now at angel.com/slash Charlie.
00:25:59.000This film stars Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnier and Terry Chen and follows Dr. Ming Wang's epic quest from poverty-stricken beginnings in communist China to become a pioneering eye surgeon in America.
00:26:13.000You'll watch him face the challenge of restoring the sight of a blind orphan that forces him to confront his dark past of violence and communism that he experienced in China.
00:26:22.000This Memorial Day weekend, find out if the ghosts of Dr. Wang's past shatter his sanity or propel him to accomplish the impossible for a child in need.
00:26:32.000Mark your calendars for March 24th and get your tickets today at angel.com/slash Charlie.
00:27:32.000They're watching it months before everybody else.
00:27:33.000Yes, they're getting to screen these, and then you give feedback to the filmmakers.
00:27:38.000Now imagine, for example, normally in Hollywood, there's a little group of people that are living in a bubble, sitting in boardrooms, making decisions about what films go to theaters worldwide.
00:27:52.000We believe that gatekeeper model, those gatekeepers, that's a broken model.
00:27:56.000They don't understand what the world's like.
00:28:00.000Everybody that's around them is just like them.
00:28:03.000And so they're making decisions that don't represent what people want to see on the screen.
00:28:07.000And 80% of movies are failing because of this.
00:28:10.000So with the Angel Guild, we're taking the Guild concept and saying, I'm the chief content officer of Angel Studios.
00:28:19.000And I cannot take a movie at Angel Studios unless it first passes the Angel Guild.
00:28:25.000Those 300,000 people are the gatekeeper.
00:29:11.000The directors are taking those notes and improving the films to the point that they can get into theaters or that they can make it onto the Angel Guild.
00:29:20.000And so think of it like Legos or Minecraft, which is another game where you just create stuff.
00:29:28.000And we believe, we're taking a bet that the average person will want to join this movement to become a member of the Angel Guild where you become a guild member at angel.com slash Charlie.
00:29:46.000And you get two free movie tickets to every single movie in theaters.
00:29:50.000So you get two movie tickets to site right now.
00:29:52.000That will pay for your guild membership.
00:29:54.000Then you get two movie tickets to Sound of Hope, The Story of Possum Trot, and then two to Bonhoeffer, two to Homestead coming out in December at Christmas time.
00:30:03.000And you get two movie tickets, and then you get to decide the future of entertainment.
00:30:06.000And if we get enough people, so what happens to understand why this makes movies work is because you have to look at Taylor Swift.
00:30:17.000So Taylor Swift decides to go to movie theaters with her concert last year.
00:31:34.000Our entire mission is to tell stories that amplify light.
00:31:37.000And so, when people submit their projects, we have two kinds of gatekeepers in the guild.
00:31:42.000There's a gatekeeper called the Defenders, which they opt in to basically sift out anything that's just not great.
00:31:48.000And then you have the broader guild, which is basically getting all the good stuff.
00:31:52.000And they're the ones saying, Hey, this deserves to go to theaters or this deserves to go into the Angel ecosystem.
00:31:58.000But your guild membership not only gives you all those perks that Jeff was talking about, you get early access to the films after they're done with theaters.
00:32:05.000But you also get your membership funds, the TV shows that are in Angels' ecosystem, like the Tunnel Twins and the Wingfeather Saga.
00:32:12.000Those shows, when you become a guild member, you're saying, Hey, these shows are important to us.
00:32:22.000Yeah, so the guild picks the winners, then it makes them winners by showing up to the box office and giving them a minimum amount of theatrical sales.
00:32:29.000And then the guild gets to watch them sooner when they're streaming.
00:34:16.000Oh, just millions in government student subsidies and loans, bloated college administration costs, and a marketing campaign so powerful that millions of kids still believe without a college degree, they'll be a failure.
00:34:27.000And at the same time, adjusting for inflation, the average salary of a graduate with a four-year degree was actually more in 1982 than it is today.
00:34:36.000Of course, there are some jobs that do require a degree: doctors, lawyers, accountants, and other super fun people.
00:34:43.000But those diplomas are really expensive, and there are lots of great jobs out there that don't require one at all.
00:34:48.000So you're saying college is a waste of time.
00:34:50.000No, I'm just saying not all knowledge comes from college.
00:34:53.000And there's lots of ways to get educated.
00:34:59.000And the Tuttle Twins is these two twins who their grandma Gabby is a Cuban American who has a time-traveling interdimensional wheelchair.
00:35:09.000And so she takes them around, like, think of it like magic school bus mixed with Phineas and Ferb.
00:35:16.000And she takes them around and they visit people like Micro, they visit Mother Cabrini, they visit George Washington, they visit Harriet Tubman, and they learn from all these different people about the principles that make America great.
00:35:32.000This movie, this, this series is on season three.
00:35:35.000And if you go to angel.com slash Charlie, you can watch this episode.
00:37:05.000The Angel Guild found something that no one else could recognize.
00:37:10.000And so there will be hit after hit after hit after hit of great films and TV shows that people are getting to vote on and decide on before anybody else.
00:37:19.000Yeah, it takes the guesswork out of funding movies.
00:38:01.000They have to be amazing films, which if you've seen our films, you know, email us freedom at charliekirk.com and go to angel.com slash charlie to join the guild today.
00:40:27.000The guild would be like, I mean, imagine if Peacock Next does Cannibal Planet.
00:40:33.000And they're just like, we can eat our own young because animals eat their own.
00:40:37.000My favorite comment on that YouTube video, because I watched it a few days ago, was, and now millions of people are canceling their Peacock subscriptions.
00:41:12.000You know, it's an incredible, incredibly smart man who narrates it, but it also glorifies God and magnifies him.
00:41:19.000And so this is one of those things where, you know, it's so funny that they have when I, when I thought about, when you brought up Queer Planet, I was like, man, they go find a bunch of footage of animals in nature doing things that, and then misinterpret to their lens of like, well, you know, this must be that they're queer, not that they're, there can be no other explanation for that.
00:41:39.000There's no explanation other than it's LGBTQ and plus.
00:42:31.000I feel like, so my wife's a fashion designer, and I feel like what we're seeing in the world right now is it started out with the beautiful rainbow flag.
00:42:41.000And everybody you know that was in that world, and I appreciate my friends that are in this world, but they dress really well.
00:42:54.000And now you go to Nordstrom and some dude that's dressed as a girl comes up and is like trying to help, you know, like it's not the same as it used to be.
00:43:04.000And I feel like the way that the rainbow flag has changed, it represents.
00:43:43.000And the interesting thing is to me is the evolution of Losing Me.
00:43:48.000I've been a very big advocate of LGB rights that they've been abused and they've been hit over history and that they needed to be their rights.
00:44:00.000But there was a point where it was like, wait a second.
00:44:02.000And I think that flag perfectly represents the way the world is flipping.
00:44:06.000Is oh, it was a beautiful rainbow and now it's turned into this like weird color clashing flag.
00:44:15.000Yeah, so that's a representation of like, oh, we were all on board with people having these rights to now it's this propaganda machine that's that's like pushing a religion on everybody.
00:44:26.000It's like, do what you want in your house.
00:44:43.000So, I mean, the guild, like I said, when people understand that they do have an impact on culture and they can influence it, and the way you can do that, I believe one of the single most impactful ways you can do that is through the entertainment industry and through the Angel Guild.
00:44:58.000It's going to be, to Jeff's point, we believe that the average person is going to want to participate in that and that they're going to want to actually influence so that the world can stop living in crazy land and start living in reality and in truth.
00:46:45.000But as a whole, if the Angel Guild comes together and there's already 300,000 of us and there's going to be millions, then we can change culture together worldwide.
