00:00:53.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:55.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:57.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:01.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:04.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:05.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:06.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:13.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:14.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:23.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:27.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:35.000 This is a really important one here, actually.
00:01:37.000 This is great.
00:01:38.000 Christian nationalism.
00:01:41.000 What is that?
00:01:42.000 Sounds so dark.
00:01:44.000 I had a Jewish friend of mine say, say, Charlie, I don't understand why people are so afraid of the term Christian nationalism.
00:01:49.000 I like Christians and I like nationalists.
00:01:51.000 I said, well, you're very kind.
00:01:52.000 That's very open-minded of you.
00:01:55.000 I agree, by the way.
00:01:56.000 I don't care, but they're trying to say it's a dog whistle for Nazi.
00:02:00.000 So anytime you hear Christian nationalists, they're trying to dog whistle for Nazi.
00:02:03.000 And they're going after Mike Johnson.
00:02:05.000 Now, I mean, all cards on the table.
00:02:06.000 I'm not happy with Mike Johnson.
00:02:08.000 He's a disappointment. 0.98
00:02:09.000 The CR is a disgrace. 0.99
00:02:10.000 It's an insult.
00:02:11.000 It gives Chuck Schumer the keys to the government.
00:02:14.000 And I said this before, Mike Johnson, if you're going to keep doing this, I am not in any way offended.
00:02:22.000 Just go back and lead a Bible study.
00:02:23.000 It's fine.
00:02:24.000 We need that.
00:02:25.000 We need people to do that.
00:02:26.000 This is warfare.
00:02:27.000 I'm not going to hold any animus.
00:02:30.000 We're not going to come after you.
00:02:31.000 We're not going to call you names.
00:02:33.000 Just go run a youth group, man.
00:02:37.000 Mike Johnson, though, to his credit, is unafraid to articulate a biblical worldview.
00:02:41.000 I think that's really promising.
00:02:42.000 I think it's great.
00:02:43.000 It's a lot of talk.
00:02:44.000 I mean, we have enough people doing that, but it's good to hear the Speaker of the House do that. 0.93
00:02:47.000 Michael Steele, one of the worst RNC chairs ever, makes a fool of himself on MSNBC. 0.77
00:02:54.000 But it starts with this. 0.74
00:02:55.000 So the first clip was 122 of Speaker Johnson talking about a decline in faith, a decline in church membership, which is legitimate. 1.00
00:03:05.000 People have asked me before, Charlie, what does success look like?
00:03:08.000 I say, we need to get church attendance to go up.
00:03:10.000 We need people's spirituality to be taken more seriously.
00:03:12.000 We need suicides to go down.
00:03:14.000 Michael Steele is a great reason, by the way, why we should never allow affirmative action into the conservative movement. 0.98
00:03:21.000 Michael Steele was only picked as RNC chair under Obama because he was black.
00:03:26.000 And white Republicans are like, oh my goodness, let's have a black chair of the RNC. 0.53
00:03:31.000 Let's go pick Michael Steele. 1.00
00:03:33.000 He's a moron. 1.00
00:03:33.000 He's not a smart person. 1.00
00:03:35.000 It's the only reason he was picked.
00:03:37.000 There was also like, I don't think he left the RNC with any money.
00:03:40.000 He was very unsuccessful as RNC chair.
00:03:42.000 He was obviously only picked because Obama was either getting elected or was already elected.
00:03:48.000 Okay.
00:03:49.000 So let's start with what Speaker Johnson said.
00:03:51.000 Just to be perfectly fair, with all the backdrop, not happy with Speaker Johnson, but I love this clip.
00:03:57.000 I think this is worthy of praise.
00:03:58.000 Play Cut 122.
00:04:00.000 I mean, I don't.
00:04:02.000 I'd say I'd preach for the choir on this Zoom call or maybe the honor choir.
00:04:06.000 You all know the terrible state that we're in.
00:04:10.000 The faith in our institutions is as low as it's ever been in the history of our nation.
00:04:15.000 The culture is so dark and depraved that it almost seems irredeemable at this point.
00:04:21.000 The church attendance in America dropped below 50% for the first time in our history since they began to measure the data 60 years ago.
00:04:30.000 And the number of people who do not believe in absolute truth is now above the majority for the first time.
00:04:36.000 So one in three teen girls contemplated suicide last year.
00:04:39.000 One in four high school students identifies as something other than straight.
00:04:44.000 We're losing the country.
00:04:47.000 We are losing the country.
00:04:48.000 That's right.
00:04:50.000 We are losing the country.
00:04:52.000 So what's so controversial about that clip?
00:04:54.000 Well, Morning Joe decides to launch into a tirade.
00:04:57.000 I listened to Morning Joe the other day for about 30 minutes on my drive into work because I went in early to pre-tape some stuff.
00:05:05.000 And it's hard to believe it passes as a television show.
00:05:09.000 You had Al Charlatan there sitting there, and when they call on him, he's he makes no sense.
00:05:15.000 Everything's racist.
00:05:16.000 Now give me a dollar.
00:05:19.000 And then they go to Joe Scarborough. 0.99
00:05:20.000 You know, those Christians are just the worst. 1.00
00:05:25.000 And then Mika says, Joe, do you support a woman's right to choose? 0.98
00:05:29.000 Where's my dollar?
00:05:31.000 Let's go to CUP 121.
00:05:33.000 I was saying to the speaker, could you, before you open your mouth the next time, could you go and read what the founders said about religion, number one, in this country as they were forming it.
00:05:42.000 But number two, go read their stories and understand what kind of men they were.
00:05:47.000 They weren't the kind of Christians that you think they were, that you've made them out to be.
00:05:53.000 The fact is, no one, whether you are 30 years old or 90 years old, wants to hear that from a political leader.
00:06:02.000 You don't want to hear what?
00:06:03.000 You don't want to hear that church attendance is down?
00:06:05.000 You're right, actually, Michael Steele.
00:06:07.000 They were far more serious Christians than most of our own politicians are.
00:06:12.000 True or false, John Adams, one of the founding fathers and architects of our Constitution, said that the Constitution was written solely for a moral and religious people, is wholly inadequate for the people of any other.
00:06:30.000 Now, Michael Steele continues to say that people don't want to hear politics in church.
00:06:34.000 He continues, and then Joe Scarborough cites Russell Moore, of all people.
00:06:39.000 Yeah, we should take our advice from Russell Moore. 1.00
00:06:41.000 What a moron. 1.00
00:06:43.000 But let's play into this. 1.00
00:06:44.000 Is it true that church attendance is going down because people don't want to hear about politics in church?
00:06:49.000 There's two different realities happening right now in American Christianity.
00:06:54.000 One are churches like Jack Hibbs that are exploding and they can't find rooms big enough to fit all the people that want to attend their church.
00:07:02.000 Like Rob McCoy and Steve Smotherman, Pastor Juergen.
00:07:07.000 I travel to these churches and it's unbelievable because they take strong biblical stands against a depraved culture. 0.97
00:07:13.000 And then there are the weak pastors like Brian Broderson, who inherited a massive empire, Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, and just recently had to sell a beautiful property in California that was the Calvary Chapel College and had to sell it to a resort because he can't get the financing and the attendance because he went woke.
00:07:37.000 Jeremiah 29, 7, seek the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:07:44.000 One example, my pastor, Rob McCoy's church increased four to five times during COVID when he spoke out against COVID mandates.
00:07:50.000 People want answers from their pastor.
00:07:54.000 They do not want passivity.
00:07:55.000 They don't want kowtowing to the woke agenda, to the trans agenda. 0.70
00:07:59.000 And they're going after Speaker Johnson in a very weird way.
00:08:02.000 But just so we're clear, the founding fathers were serious Christians.
00:08:06.000 Many of them understood Hebrew.
00:08:07.000 55 out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible-believing church-attending Christians.
00:08:12.000 George Washington was a faithful, pious man.
00:08:15.000 They put Leviticus on the Liberty Bell.
00:08:19.000 They quoted Deuteronomy more than any other source, secular or religious, in the formation of the founding era.
00:08:26.000 And that is a Harvard professor study.
00:08:29.000 Play Cut 123.
00:08:31.000 I mean, Leonard Leo is an extremist, and he's an extremist in his views about the Constitution and Catholicism.
00:08:39.000 I mean, it's an extreme view of Catholicism that has put extremists on the court.
00:08:46.000 But I've got to say, if he's worried about pews emptying out, talk to young people.
00:08:53.000 And so many will tell you, and Russell Moore has talked about this with Christianity Today.
00:08:57.000 They're emptying out because they don't want to go to a church where preachers worship Donald Trump instead of Jesus Christ.
00:09:06.000 Yeah.
00:09:07.000 So he represents the fullness of the emergence of the Christian nationalism that sees America through a very different gospel than the one that the man they profess to follow, Jesus, preached. 0.74
00:09:28.000 So there's a lot there.
00:09:30.000 But hey, I do talk to young people, Joe.
00:09:33.000 AmFest.
00:09:34.000 At AmericaFest, we're going to have thousands and thousands and thousands of young people searching for truth.
00:09:40.000 Show me any boring, ineffective, woke Christian ministry like CRU CRU, which has recently gone woke. 0.85
00:09:51.000 Allie Stuckey did an amazing podcast on it. 0.74
00:09:54.000 They just did a massive LGBTQ compromise.
00:09:57.000 I'm going to talk about that.
00:09:59.000 Can they fill the rooms that we fill up at Turning Point USA?
00:10:03.000 When we go to UCLA, we nearly had every single chair filled, and that is with ridiculous totalitarian suppression of the UCLA Gestapo there.
00:10:12.000 When we go to campuses, we can't find rooms big enough to fit the people that want to hear Candace Owens and I. We're just booked in this room next week, next year at a campus soon to be announced.
00:10:20.000 2,600 seats, and we're afraid it's not going to be big enough.
00:10:23.000 No, Joe, you want to reach young people, you speak the truth.
00:10:25.000 You speak the truth politically, culturally, theologically, and spiritually.
00:10:29.000 You don't water it down and go to the middle.
00:10:32.000 No, young people want the truth because they are swimming in an ocean of lies. 0.98
00:10:38.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:10:40.000 Exciting news to share about saving babies by providing ultrasounds.
00:10:43.000 Right now, there is a dollar-for-dollar match, doubling the number of babies you'll save with pre-born.
00:10:47.000 There are babies alive today about to celebrate their first Christmas because of what we did together a year ago at this time providing ultrasounds.
00:10:54.000 And right now, you can save twice as many babies.
00:10:57.000 Maybe you're already wondering about end of the year giving and want to give every dollar, get the most results.
00:11:01.000 Or maybe you just want to know that a girl making this decision deserves the truth.
00:11:04.000 So that next year at this time, she's picking out a Christmas stocking for her baby's first Christmas.
00:11:08.000 It's beautiful to think about.
00:11:10.000 Your gift of $15,000, somebody out there can do it, I'm sure, will provide not one, but two ultrasound machines.
00:11:16.000 $280 saves 10 babies.
00:11:18.000 $28 a month saves a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
00:11:21.000 And right now, any gift saves twice as many babies with pre-born.
00:11:24.000 I'm a donor to this organization.
00:11:26.000 We love this organization with the Kirk family.
00:11:28.000 Call 833-850-2229.
00:11:31.000 Full endorsement.
00:11:32.000 Amazing people.
00:11:33.000 Click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:11:35.000 Go to charliekirk.com right now and click on the pre-born banner.
00:11:41.000 They glitch.
00:11:42.000 Liberals do.
00:11:43.000 And I figured it out over a period of time.
00:11:47.000 You see, being on these college campuses, whenever you mention Christianity, the Bible, they've been so programmed through documentaries, through music, through movies, to have a negative view of Christianity.
00:12:00.000 I want any one of you to send me a major motion picture where a pastor is framed positively, not Mark Wahlberg's recent one.
00:12:10.000 Any recent major picture where the Christian is the good guy, not a hypocrite, not double, none of that stuff.
00:12:17.000 Can you show me a single one?
00:12:19.000 Maybe there is.
00:12:20.000 And if there is, great, I would happily add it to the list. 0.76
00:12:23.000 I could tell you hundreds of films, documentaries, narratives of, well, the pastor is cheating on the wife and the priest is raping kids and they're covering it up. 0.59
00:12:35.000 They've been programmed. 0.77
00:12:37.000 And they are afraid that pastors or Christians being in government are going to tell them how to live.
00:12:45.000 Because that's the worst thing ever, right?
00:12:47.000 Someone telling them how to live.
00:12:49.000 Which, again, when I'm on these campuses, I don't know how effective this is, but I can't help but tell you how to live.
00:12:54.000 You guys sat and were locked down for nine months wearing a cloth, forced to get a gene-altering mRNA vaccine. 0.54
00:13:05.000 So don't give me this crap that you're worried about someone telling you how to live. 0.93
00:13:10.000 Maybe that they didn't care because the pot and the booze was aplenty and they were medicated and they got money from the government. 0.98
00:13:19.000 The very same people that are hemming and hawing and yakking, oh, you know, I want no one to tell me how to live.
00:13:24.000 They were perfectly fine having the government tell them exactly what to do for the last couple of years.
00:13:30.000 I just, I think it's all a bunch of nonsense.
00:13:33.000 They want us to forget about COVID.
00:13:36.000 That's a very important truism right now.
00:13:39.000 They want to whitewash the history of what happened during COVID.
00:13:44.000 Do you notice how little we talk about it?
00:13:46.000 Don't forget we're living through a color revolution and it started during 15 days to slow the spread.
00:13:52.000 15 days to slow the spread was the beginning of the cultural revolution.
00:13:56.000 Have the House Republicans done their job going after Anthony Fauci?
00:13:59.000 I don't think so.
00:14:00.000 I do not think so.
00:14:02.000 Have they done their job investigating Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson ⁇ Johnson?
00:14:06.000 I don't think so.
00:14:08.000 There's been some heroes.
00:14:09.000 There's been some wins here or there.
00:14:12.000 The new narrative is anti-Semitism.
00:14:16.000 And that needs to be addressed.
00:14:17.000 That's a moral poison.
00:14:18.000 That's a toxin.
00:14:20.000 But how quickly we have forgotten?
00:14:21.000 Where's the justice for COVID?
00:14:23.000 And then you have Xi Jiping, who is a legitimate dictator, bad guy up there with Mussolini and Mao Setong, who gets a hero's welcome. 0.91
00:14:34.000 And he was the one that at the very least knew COVID was spreading and didn't tell the world.
00:14:39.000 And then all these scientists disappeared.
00:14:41.000 So we have COVID because of China. 0.98
00:14:43.000 It came from China.
00:14:44.000 It is the China virus.
00:14:47.000 Has China paid at all for COVID?
00:14:49.000 Has China paid the world reparations for what happened there?
00:14:54.000 No, no, no.
00:14:54.000 Instead, we pay China.
00:14:57.000 Just that one single issue.
00:14:59.000 Did a single leader when they welcomed Xi Jinping mention, like, actually, time out.
00:15:05.000 Yeah, welcome to America.
00:15:06.000 We got rid of all the homeless for you.
00:15:08.000 Can we talk about the virus?
00:15:10.000 Can we talk about the fact that the whole world bankrupted itself, inflated our currency, depleted the dollar?
00:15:18.000 Our kids are killing themselves.
00:15:20.000 They can't, their speech is delayed.
00:15:24.000 It honestly shows the lie of all the left's moral posturing.
00:15:27.000 They'll boycott Mississippi and Tennessee. 0.99
00:15:31.000 Like Gavin Newsom is, he's tweeting about like naked gay people or something. 0.98
00:15:35.000 It's very weird. 0.90
00:15:36.000 It's very suspicious, honestly.
00:15:37.000 Makes you wonder about Gavin Newsom.
00:15:39.000 He's like really fired up.
00:15:40.000 Where is this?
00:15:41.000 The whole group chat about Gavin Newsom's.
00:15:44.000 Gavin Newsome tweets out, the city in Tennessee is banned being gay in public.
00:15:48.000 This is just the beginning.
00:15:50.000 We have to call this out.
00:15:50.000 First of all, that's not true.
00:15:52.000 It's about being naked and gay in public, or just naked. 0.79
00:15:55.000 It's public nudity, which, of course, obviously goes for the standard operating procedure in San Francisco. 0.96
00:16:01.000 So he's, you know, there's all about like, oh, my goodness, Tennessee is the worst.
00:16:05.000 Hey, Gavin, you just welcomed Xi Ji Ping. 0.58
00:16:09.000 You just made out with him, basically.
00:16:11.000 You went to his home and did a photo shoot on the Chinese wall, Great Wall of China, mowed over some poor Chinese kids were playing basketball.
00:16:21.000 Boom.
00:16:23.000 But you're worried about public nudity laws of some city in Tennessee or book bans, aka pornography?
00:16:33.000 Balance of Nature, changing the world one life at a time.
00:16:36.000 I try to take care of myself.
00:16:38.000 I try to eat right.
00:16:39.000 And I love fruits and vegetables.
00:16:41.000 I'd rather have them than anything else, but I know I don't get nearly enough.
00:16:45.000 So I thought, I'll try it for two months and no harm, no foul.
00:16:48.000 If it doesn't work after that, then I'll try it and at least I know.
00:16:52.000 Within two weeks, I noticed a huge difference in my energy, sleeping better at night, and just energy.
00:16:58.000 I would get up in the morning and get up, not just sit around.
00:17:02.000 You guys have got to try this.
00:17:04.000 You have to try it.
00:17:05.000 You owe it to yourself to try it.
00:17:07.000 The wife and I both think it's done a lot of good.
00:17:09.000 We both think it's, you know, it's improved your overall day-to-day how you feel.
00:17:14.000 And we've turned everybody onto it.
00:17:16.000 Our kids are on it.
00:17:18.000 We've got brothers and sisters that are on it.
00:17:20.000 We've got some neighbors we've turned on to it.
00:17:23.000 So we're very pleased with the product and the results.
00:17:26.000 It's not like you're Superman, but you definitely know you're healthier.
00:17:30.000 You don't lose weight.
00:17:31.000 And I've never heard that said in any of the commercials, but by golly, you do.
00:17:35.000 I work in a school, so I'm around like a thousand kids a day constantly.
00:17:39.000 And so I wash my hands and use alcohol on them probably 100 times a day or better.
00:17:45.000 And my hands are always cracking open and splitting.
00:17:48.000 And I did not have that this entire winter.
00:17:51.000 And I've bet you anything.
00:17:52.000 This is me.
00:17:53.000 I've bet you anything it's failed for nature because it's the only thing I've done different.
00:17:56.000 Like the guy on your commercial says, I'm going to keep on taking it the rest of my life.
00:18:01.000 And I feel the same way.
00:18:02.000 It's going really good.
00:18:03.000 I mean, I feel better.
00:18:05.000 Got more energy and, you know, I can go through my day better.

00:18:42.000 Now enjoy my question and answer.
00:18:47.000 Yes, ma'am.
00:18:47.000 All right.
00:18:49.000 For those of us working in public education, for those of us with our kids still in public education, especially in Washington State, just pulling out and leaving is not always feasible, especially in rural areas.
00:19:01.000 There's not always a lot of choice.
00:19:03.000 What is the best advice that you can give those of us who are working in that system and trying to help our kids through that system?
00:19:09.000 It's a great and important question.
00:19:11.000 So I'm going to just challenge one part of it, not you, just the idea, is that if you are willing to borrow money for your kid to go to college one day, why would you not go into debt for elementary school or for high school?
00:19:27.000 Now just think about it, right?
00:19:28.000 Because I will make an argument.
00:19:30.000 It's far more important to have a solid elementary or high school, right?
00:19:34.000 If you are not in a place to do it, I totally get it.
00:19:37.000 So I will get to that.
00:19:38.000 But I would exhaust all the options of religious, homeschool, co-op, all that.
00:19:43.000 We do have Turning Point Academy that makes it easy, and we have tons of these partnership hybrid schools.
00:19:49.000 But if you have to send them the government, I went to government schools, so I get it.
00:19:54.000 I had to go to government schools, so I'm not even talking down about it.
00:19:57.000 But I'm not sending my daughter to government school, not at gunpoint, right?
00:20:01.000 Whatever it takes, I'm not going to do it.
00:20:02.000 But I'm not trying, I understand it's not realistic.
00:20:05.000 You have to be a non-stop, a non-stop watchdog every day of curriculum, of textbooks, and you cannot take a day off.
00:20:14.000 And I know you are.
00:20:15.000 It's what did you learn today?
00:20:16.000 What's your teacher's name?
00:20:17.000 And you should be emailing your teacher all the time recommendations and suggestions and what's the curriculum.
00:20:22.000 That's actually more helpful than always showing up at school boards.
00:20:27.000 So hear me out.
00:20:28.000 If you have a seventh grader or an eighth grader, get to know the teachers by name, personalize it, and then if you see any sort of radical elements, nip it in the bud and challenge it, preempt it with your kid at home, okay?
00:20:43.000 And then you put that teacher on notice or watch.
00:20:45.000 You're like, wow, that's a lot of work.
00:20:46.000 Oh, yeah. 0.83
00:20:48.000 You're not just sending Johnny off to government school because they might become gay, trans, or liberal, all three of them, okay? 0.97
00:20:54.000 How you're gay and trans is also really weird to me. 1.00
00:20:56.000 I don't understand that, but it's a new thing, apparently, right?
00:20:59.000 So does that make sense?
00:21:00.000 Is that kind of finding those individual teacher relationships, knowing them all by name, communicating to them, and also, you know, instead of necessarily always coming in with spice, try some sugar, right?
00:21:14.000 Where it's like, okay, I'm going to bring them cookies the first day of every quarter.
00:21:17.000 Or try to win over these teachers, and maybe they'll lay off on some of the radicalism stuff.
00:21:23.000 Especially in local rural districts, this approach can work, right?
00:21:28.000 Where they see, okay, here's both sides of it.
00:21:32.000 All you're asking for is a de-radicalized curriculum.
00:21:34.000 But I just want to caution you: as long as your kid goes to school in the state of Washington, they can be kidnapped on the trans issue without you knowing.
00:21:44.000 Look for clues, but there are hundreds of examples now of parents that had no idea that their kids were in transition closets and all that.
00:21:52.000 And so pray and think about that.
00:21:55.000 Hope that's helpful.
00:21:56.000 Thank you.
00:21:57.000 Yep.
00:21:59.000 Okay, Charlie, I want to talk about, I have one comment for you about the Sunshine thing, and then I have a question for you.
00:22:05.000 But last night it was kind of disturbing the way you presented it last night with the Sunshine thing because you actually used percentages.
00:22:10.000 Remember that?
00:22:11.000 3% versus 97%.
00:22:13.000 And so I took that on today, and I went and did the math.
00:22:18.000 And it's okay if you're part of the 97%, but the 3% in Washington state is 234,000 people.
00:22:26.000 So we can take back the state with 234,000 people.
00:22:29.000 And for the rest of you, there's a whole bunch of candidates, including myself, that are running, and you could write checks.
00:22:34.000 Not just to Mike Lindell, but to our campaign.
00:22:37.000 So, Charlie, it's obvious, and we know, right, that COVID was a door for them to, for globalists to get what they want, and the left and the leftists to get what they want.
00:22:50.000 And we've been living through that, like you were just talking about.
00:22:53.000 So, in the sort of the color revolution.
00:22:55.000 So, what do you see happening over the next year, two, three?
00:22:59.000 You think climate change is going to be in there?
00:23:01.000 What do you see happening?
00:23:02.000 Thank you.
00:23:04.000 Great question.
00:23:04.000 So, let me just repeat what I said last night.
00:23:07.000 History shows us that 3% of the population can create all the change.
00:23:11.000 And you think about it, the radical left has proved this to be true.
00:23:14.000 Only 3% of the population believes the trash that they put forward, but it can move the Overton window, and it is the activist class.
00:23:21.000 And so, you could even go down to 1% and be even more stringent on it.
00:23:26.000 Where if you look in Washington, I know there are 50 to 60,000 remnant patriots in this state that will not give up and will not give in.
00:23:34.000 That can change a state, everybody.
00:23:36.000 But it requires activism and ballot harvesting and precinct committee sign-ups.
00:23:41.000 So I just want to tell you that you might feel outnumbered, but you're going to have 3% versus 3%.
00:23:47.000 They're 3% versus our 3%, and I think our numbers are actually increasing.
00:23:51.000 So what issues do I think are kind of coming up?
00:23:54.000 So climate change is a biggie.
00:23:57.000 They're going to try to use climate change to recreate COVID-style lockdowns in the next couple of years.
00:24:03.000 So I live in Arizona.
00:24:04.000 It's hot in Arizona.
00:24:05.000 It's actually really nice here.
00:24:06.000 Everyone's like, it's so hot.
00:24:07.000 This is not hot.
00:24:08.000 You don't understand.
00:24:09.000 And something really freaked me out recently.
00:24:13.000 I'm going to do a whole show on this tomorrow, my podcast. 1.00
00:24:15.000 So Katie Hobbs, who's an illegitimate governor of Arizona, by the way, Kerry Lake should be governor of Arizona. 1.00
00:24:19.000 But that's a separate issue. 0.89
00:24:21.000 But it drives me nuts.
00:24:23.000 And she, out of nowhere, signed a declaration of emergency over the weather.
00:24:31.000 And you should laugh, but then let's also think of what actually, that's a COVID-style power grab because of the weather.
00:24:40.000 118 degrees, she's like, it's the hottest it's ever been.
00:24:43.000 Now that's technically true, but if anyone lives in Arizona, it's like once you get over like 113, you're kind of like on the margins, right?
00:24:50.000 It's like the law of diminishing return, right?
00:24:52.000 You're kind of like, it's indecipherable, right?
00:24:54.000 It's not exactly a, we're all kind of walking through the park when it's 113.
00:24:57.000 She said, it doesn't matter.
00:24:58.000 I need extra power as governor because of the weather.
00:25:02.000 This is coming.
00:25:04.000 I think they're workshopping it right now in Arizona to see how far that they could have people locked down, not go into the office.
00:25:11.000 You saw it with COVID, and they're going to try to do it with climate change.
00:25:15.000 Now, so what else is coming down?
00:25:16.000 Let's just talk about the 2024 election, okay?
00:25:19.000 So Donald Trump will almost certainly be the Republican nominee, okay?
00:25:22.000 Now, that it's going to excite some of you or upset some of you.
00:25:26.000 I think this primary is a complete waste of time, I'll be honest.
00:25:29.000 $1.5 billion to find out by how much Trump is going to win is not a fruitful exercise, okay?
00:25:36.000 And you might love DeSantis, you might like Nikki Haley, you might like Mike Pence.
00:25:40.000 That would be really interesting.
00:25:41.000 I'd love to meet you and hear your side out.
00:25:44.000 But the point is this.
00:25:47.000 And for those of you that don't like Trump and you don't understand why he's getting more popular, or maybe the media is here, I can explain it because I love the man.
00:25:56.000 Number one, he was a great president.
00:25:58.000 Let's just remember, he was a great president, okay?
00:26:01.000 Number two, no argument, no debate.
00:26:06.000 He was robbed in the 2020 election.
00:26:08.000 He was robbed.
00:26:09.000 Now, to the extent of the robbery, we can debate.
00:26:14.000 No debate that the intel agencies colluded to shut down speech on social media.
00:26:18.000 No debate that we had mass mail in ballots.
00:26:20.000 No debate that we had illegally changed election laws in Pennsylvania.
00:26:24.000 That is not up for debate.
00:26:25.000 You can read Molly Hemingway's book, Rigged, goes through it in great detail.
00:26:30.000 So, in some ways, we feel as if this guy was gypped of a second term of American greatness where the border would be secure and we wouldn't have this proxy war in Ukraine.
00:26:39.000 I could go through the list.
00:26:40.000 You guys know that.
00:26:40.000 And we're angry about that, and you should be.
00:26:43.000 The third thing is this, is that we look at Donald Trump as the only person that understands and is willing to fight what I think is the greatest permanent source against American liberty.
00:26:54.000 The fourth branch of government, the Leviathan, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, and all these permanent bureaucrats that hate you and hate your values and seemingly will not be replaced.
00:27:03.000 This is Drain the Swamp 2.0.
00:27:05.000 And we say, you know what?
00:27:06.000 I'm sorry, Nikki Haley.
00:27:07.000 I'm not convinced that you're going to go to Washington, D.C. with a fire-breathing type mandate to go fire the FBI and put them back into where they belong.
00:27:18.000 I actually think Donald Trump means business in a very way that we've never seen before in Trump's second term.
00:27:24.000 And so you might be unconvinced by that, but if you argue with reality, you're going to be in hell, as St. Augustine would say.
00:27:31.000 He's going to be the nominee.
00:27:32.000 So therefore you say, but Charlie, he can't win the general election.
00:27:37.000 Where did this idea come from?
00:27:39.000 Because I find it so interesting, right?
00:27:41.000 Because it seems like one of you people say, oh, the big lie.
00:27:45.000 This is the big lie.
00:27:47.000 And I'm not saying he's going to win.
00:27:48.000 I actually think that he's the underdog.
00:27:50.000 But this idea that he can't win is peddled by media and by big donors.
00:27:56.000 And I know this sounds overly logical, but he is the only Republican running for president who's been president before.
00:28:01.000 By definition, therefore, he can win because he has won.
00:28:04.000 And so it's like the whole idea is that he can't win as if he's like nothing but failed his entire political career, right?
00:28:10.000 And the second thing is, let's just remember 2020.
00:28:14.000 We have this rewriting as if he was like blown out of the water.
00:28:18.000 It's this like whitewashing of history.
00:28:20.000 It's super weird.
00:28:21.000 It's like Maoist.
00:28:23.000 He fell 8,000 votes short in Georgia after one of the most fraudulent exercises we've ever seen.
00:28:29.000 He fell 10,000 votes short in Arizona and 22,000 votes short in Wisconsin.
00:28:34.000 He wins those he's president.
00:28:36.000 It's like, what is this whole idea that he can't win?
00:28:38.000 And that was before we ballot harvested.
00:28:40.000 That's while the Intel agencies were suppressing stories.
00:28:43.000 That's why Hunter Biden laptop story wasn't allowed to get out there.
00:28:46.000 That's why all that stuff was happening.
00:28:48.000 And it's like 8,000 votes, 9,000 votes, and 22,000 votes here.
00:28:52.000 And this is going to be even different.
00:28:53.000 Now you might say, well, Charlie, what about the indictments?
00:28:55.000 What about this?
00:28:56.000 Look, if there's really a lot of people that are like, now I'm not voting for Trump because of the indictments, show me that person, okay?
00:29:03.000 If anything, I think it actually wins over sympathetic, open-minded people that are like, okay, now this is getting completely out of control.
00:29:09.000 Like, I don't like the guy, Orange Man, bad, but throwing him in federal prison for 600 years, which brings us back to the Inquisition 600 years ago, is ridiculous, okay?
00:29:20.000 But there's another component of this.
00:29:22.000 We do not know what the 2024 election is going to look like.
00:29:24.000 We have no idea.
00:29:25.000 No labels might be on the ballot, which is going to draw a lot of Democrat votes away in Arizona and Georgia.
00:29:31.000 Cornell West might be on the ballot, who could draw a lot of black voters away in Georgia and Wisconsin.
00:29:36.000 We might have RFK Jr., who I'm afraid would actually draw more MAGA votes than not, so I don't want him to run, but that's a separate issue.
00:29:41.000 But he could disrupt some things.
00:29:43.000 If you think certainly you know how things are going to be in that election, you are way too arrogant. 0.80
00:29:49.000 I'll be honest.
00:29:50.000 I don't know, and you don't know.
00:29:51.000 The only thing we know is it's going to be a mess.
00:29:55.000 And honestly, I give his shot 50-50 because he has a motivated, immovable base with multiple candidates and an unpopular president and a Democrat base that is mad as heck at him because they are.
00:30:06.000 And they're antsy.
00:30:08.000 And he might not even be the candidate.
00:30:09.000 So don't be surprised if there's a bait and switch of Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom.
00:30:12.000 And I'll get to that in a second.
00:30:14.000 Do not, here's my challenge to you.
00:30:18.000 Understand you're the underdog.
00:30:20.000 Know that we'll probably not win, but reject the songs of impossibility.
00:30:25.000 Okay?
00:30:25.000 So then that's the question.
00:30:27.000 Guess what?
00:30:28.000 That means you can make a huge difference.
00:30:29.000 So let me tell you what I'm doing, and you can translate it.
00:30:32.000 I live in one of the states that will determine the future of the Republic.
00:30:34.000 I live in Arizona.
00:30:36.000 I live in the precinct that's going to determine the state and the county that will determine everything.
00:30:41.000 And 8,000, 9,000 votes.
00:30:44.000 We are literally raising millions of dollars to go chase ballots because we can't ballot harvest in Arizona.
00:30:48.000 We could chase ballots, do move voter regs.
00:30:50.000 We're going all in.
00:30:52.000 I'm going to do my part because I believe in a God of miracles, and I'm going to hopefully meet God halfway.
00:30:56.000 I'm going to be obedient to the Lord because I love the Lord, and then hopefully he will open up the sea.
00:31:03.000 But guess what?
00:31:04.000 2016 was a miracle from heaven.
00:31:06.000 It was.
00:31:07.000 Let's remember that. 1.00
00:31:08.000 It was a 99% chance Hillary Clinton's going to win.
00:31:11.000 And this guy, weeks after the Billy Bush tape, who said something awfully colorful, comes out and wins Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
00:31:22.000 Guys, we're talking about elections that are on razor of razor thin margins.
00:31:25.000 Reject this narrative from the media that's like, oh, it's all done.
00:31:30.000 It's not all done.
00:31:31.000 It's totally in our hands to make an impact.
00:31:33.000 So anyway, that's a long answer, but I think that's helpful.
00:31:35.000 I know you guys wanted to hear about the election.
00:31:37.000 The other part I will say about this before we get to the next question is the Democrats believe that candidates do not matter.
00:31:43.000 Republicans believe candidates matter too much.
00:31:46.000 And John Fetterman's an example of that. 1.00
00:31:48.000 John Fetterman is a brain-dead idiot who should not be a United States Senator. 0.99
00:31:54.000 Running up against a very talented surgeon, Dr. Oz, who you might not, he's not as conservative as I am, but he's a smart, accomplished man who saved people's lives, who would have been a terrific U.S. Senator, like high IQ, high-functioning, best part of his life, Dr. Mehmet Us, right? 1.00
00:32:10.000 And you have the biggest contrast you can imagine, John Fetterman, who cannot string two sentences together, right?
00:32:15.000 How did it happen?
00:32:16.000 It's because Democrats do not care about candidates. 0.68
00:32:18.000 They've invested in the boring stuff.
00:32:20.000 You guys know this in Washington, right?
00:32:22.000 Where they do ballot chasing, lawsuits, signature verification.
00:32:27.000 And finally, Republicans are waking up.
00:32:29.000 They're like, oh, my goodness.
00:32:30.000 It's not about who we're running.
00:32:32.000 It's about the tactics.
00:32:33.000 It's about the boring stuff.
00:32:35.000 Here's the good news.
00:32:36.000 In Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, the only three states that matter, everything is changing and people are waking up.
00:32:41.000 You might say, Charlie, what do you mean the only states that matter?
00:32:43.000 The electoral map has changed.
00:32:45.000 Now, I know this in Washington.
00:32:46.000 You guys might not want to hear this.
00:32:48.000 Like, what about Washington?
00:32:48.000 I'm sorry, guys.
00:32:49.000 The Democrats are probably going to win the presidential race in Washington.
00:32:51.000 Okay?
00:32:52.000 You might say, Charlie, that's being pessimistic.
00:32:54.000 Honestly, I believe in a God of Miracles.
00:32:57.000 This would be a resurrection-style miracle.
00:33:02.000 Which, by the way, I believe in, awfully rare.
00:33:05.000 We center our whole faith around it.
00:33:07.000 So if it happens, I'll come back and we'll celebrate it together.
00:33:10.000 But looking at the betting gambling odds, okay, a Democrat will win this state statewide.
00:33:15.000 It's going to come down to a couple states.
00:33:17.000 Donald J. Trump will win Iowa.
00:33:19.000 He will win Ohio.
00:33:20.000 He'll win North Carolina narrowly, and he'll win Florida.
00:33:22.000 You only need to win three more states, which is Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
00:33:26.000 Break out of the media matrix.
00:33:27.000 You take three states to be president.
00:33:29.000 Doesn't matter if you lose New York by 50 million.
00:33:31.000 Doesn't matter if you lose California by 20 million.
00:33:33.000 It doesn't matter if you lose three states.
00:33:35.000 And so if you want to focus your energy, your effort, your prayer, and your fasting, it's eight counties.
00:33:40.000 It's Pinal County.
00:33:40.000 It's Maricopa County.
00:33:41.000 It's Pima County.
00:33:42.000 It's Yavapai County.
00:33:43.000 It's Fulton County.
00:33:44.000 It's Cobb County.
00:33:44.000 It's Gwinnett.
00:33:45.000 It's Joe Davies County.
00:33:46.000 It's Dane County.
00:33:47.000 It's Kenosha County.
00:33:48.000 It's Milwaukee County.
00:33:49.000 If you are not hearing this from your elected national Republicans, they're deceiving you.
00:33:54.000 Because they want money for their consultants.
00:33:55.000 It's literally going to come down to nine or ten counties, everybody.
00:33:58.000 So I dismiss this totally.
00:34:00.000 Donald Trump can't win.
00:34:01.000 With that attitude, he can't.
00:34:03.000 But our attitude, he'll have a fighting shot.
00:34:05.000 I really believe that.
00:34:06.000 Next question.
00:34:08.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:34:12.000 Got two questions, one for COVID and one for climate change.
00:34:15.000 Do you think COVID was a conspiracy for crowd control and wealth transfer and climate change?
00:34:22.000 If it's real, why rich people are buying houses next to ocean?
00:34:27.000 I like that.
00:34:27.000 That's good.
00:34:28.000 So I have no idea if they launched COVID intentionally or not.
00:34:32.000 I mean, it's Bill Gates has been talking about it.
00:34:34.000 Bill Gates, a fan favorite around here.
00:34:36.000 I'm sure you guys are big fans.
00:34:39.000 You know what?
00:34:40.000 It's so interesting to me is that the home state somebody is from tells you the most about the person.
00:34:45.000 So that's everything I need to know.
00:34:48.000 So look, here's what I do know, is that the government knew that COVID came from a lab.
00:34:54.000 They've lied about it, and they still haven't verified it.
00:34:57.000 It was built and constructed as a bioweapon.
00:34:59.000 Whether it was released or not, I don't know.
00:35:01.000 Maybe.
00:35:02.000 Honestly, I'm open-minded to everything right now.
00:35:05.000 But I don't think that's actually the most important question.
00:35:07.000 The most important question is that they allowed it to spread and wanted it to spread, and they did nothing to stop this, actually allow the interventions of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, intravenous therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and they wanted this crisis.
00:35:22.000 That's a more helpful line.
00:35:24.000 Whether or not it was intentionally released on the world, we may never know.
00:35:28.000 And it's honestly, they'll probably do a good job of covering that up, and we'll probably never get to the truth.
00:35:32.000 So that's that.
00:35:34.000 And it was awfully convenient, wasn't it, that it came in an election year and all that, but coincidences.
00:35:38.000 Second thing, climate change, if they actually believe that the left doesn't believe anything they say.
00:35:42.000 This is the one cool thing about being a conservative.
00:35:44.000 You could tell this to your friends that are liberals, is that every single one of your articulated policy positions, you're okay with other people living with and you yourself live with.
00:35:52.000 I'll prove it to you.
00:35:53.000 You want school choice for your kids, and you want that as policy.
00:35:57.000 They don't.
00:35:58.000 They say, oh, no school choice.
00:36:00.000 They send their kids to incredibly expensive boarding schools.
00:36:03.000 We want open borders.
00:36:04.000 While I mean, driving around some of the nicest houses in Redmond today, they're not a big open border crowd, right?
00:36:10.000 I would think that it's like 14th century France.
00:36:12.000 They got turrets and like armed guards.
00:36:14.000 Like, yeah, open borders.
00:36:16.000 I see like these signs.
00:36:17.000 Diversity is our strength and black lives matter and all this.
00:36:20.000 And like you can't even see in, right?
00:36:22.000 They got like thermal detection drones.
00:36:27.000 Open borders.
00:36:28.000 They don't believe it.
00:36:29.000 But we're okay with people having gated communities.
00:36:31.000 The first community we should gate is called America. 0.96
00:36:35.000 The second one is the question of guns.
00:36:41.000 I'm okay with everybody owning guns.
00:36:43.000 I don't want just a select few people owning guns.
00:36:45.000 They're not. 0.99
00:36:46.000 They want their bodyguards.
00:36:47.000 They're people on firearms, but not you. 0.94
00:36:49.000 What I'm getting at is left-wing positions are inherently hypocritical and inconsistent with their stated worldview. 0.87
00:36:54.000 They don't actually believe in climate change. 0.85
00:36:56.000 If they did, Martha's Vineyard would not be going through a real estate boom cycle.
00:37:00.000 Okay?
00:37:02.000 They would not be flying private jets.
00:37:03.000 They wouldn't be doing all that stuff, right?
00:37:05.000 So it's important to point that out.
00:37:07.000 I don't know how persuasive it is, but it's true.
00:37:09.000 But it also goes to show it can, by the way, it's the same thing with the COVID thing, right?
00:37:14.000 If they actually believe that COVID was such a scare and such a thing against humanity, why did they deploy a bunch of racial arsonists in the street in the name of racial justice in the summer of 2020?
00:37:23.000 So they're simultaneously saying, stay at home, stay at home.
00:37:26.000 Schools can't be open.
00:37:27.000 But unless you want to go pillage and loot downtown Seattle and go get a bunch of TVs and sneakers, go do it in the name of George Floyd and you'll magically avoid the virus.
00:37:37.000 It's like the most anti-racist virus in the history of the Western world.
00:37:41.000 It's like the virus does not infect you if you just say George Floyd.
00:37:44.000 It like exercises the virus away from you.
00:37:48.000 America's colleges and universities today are less concerned with critical thinking than with indoctrination.
00:37:54.000 It is no wonder why so many young Americans embrace cancel culture, deny free speech to conservatives, and even celebrate terrorism.
00:38:00.000 But I'm happy to report there is one college where students debate ideas openly and honestly, where they pursue truth together with their professors, and where America's great heritage of liberty is studied and revered.
00:38:10.000 My favorite college, Hillsdale College.
00:38:12.000 As stated in Hillsdale's founding document in 1844, Hillsdale's original mission was to offer the kind of serious liberal arts education needed to preserve the blessings of civil and religious liberty across the land.
00:38:24.000 And this mission continues to guide Hillsdale College today.
00:38:27.000 You can learn more at my favorite college's website, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:38:31.000 There you will find a short video that's just over a minute long showing how Hillsdale's work, not only on its Michigan campus, not only in Washington, D.C. campus, but across the nation, is effective in defending American liberty.
00:38:44.000 Take some time to watch today at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:38:47.000 That is charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:38:51.000 Okay, next question.
00:38:54.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:38:55.000 It's a dream to be able to address you and ask you a question.
00:39:00.000 My name is Evelyn Menzel, and I am not a Sunshine Patriot.
00:39:04.000 I am part of the 3%.
00:39:06.000 And I would hope that when I get arrested, that somebody will bail me out.
00:39:11.000 But my question to you is, so I've...
00:39:14.000 Thank you.
00:39:16.000 I knocked on about over 8,000 doors last election.
00:39:19.000 And a lot of people would tell me, oh, I'm not voting because King County always wins.
00:39:23.000 So I'd like to know your intelligent comebacks.
00:39:26.000 And then the other thing is when I went to churches to put signs or get petitions, some pastors would tell me, oh, I stick to Jesus.
00:39:35.000 I'm not political.
00:39:37.000 What could I say to them?
00:39:39.000 First of all, you lacked on 8,000 doors.
00:39:41.000 It's amazing.
00:39:42.000 You should be applauded for that.
00:39:43.000 That's incredible.
00:39:44.000 That's amazing.
00:39:47.000 8,000 doors?
00:39:49.000 That's inspiring.
00:39:51.000 Okay, so to your first question.
00:39:54.000 I have to be honest, of all the complaints I hear, I hear them too.
00:39:57.000 I get the emails.
00:39:59.000 This idea that voting is such a time inconvenience is one of the most perplexing.
00:40:06.000 You're not funny. 0.95
00:40:08.000 You're not smart. 0.82
00:40:09.000 You're not enlightened because you think you're sticking it to the man because you don't fill out your ballot. 1.00
00:40:13.000 You're a moron. 1.00
00:40:14.000 Okay? 1.00
00:40:15.000 I'm not voting because the system is broken. 1.00
00:40:17.000 You're an idiot. 1.00
00:40:19.000 Okay, you guarantee they win by not filling out the piece of paper. 1.00
00:40:22.000 Okay?
00:40:23.000 At least you have a fighting shot.
00:40:24.000 You have 100% likelihood the bad guys love the fact that our side doesn't fill out the piece of paper.
00:40:31.000 And I mean, I don't know how, I mean, you guys have like more ballot referendums than there are Jewish laws.
00:40:35.000 It's unbelievable when I look at, it's like 613.
00:40:39.000 Do you want this pigeon to be preserved?
00:40:42.000 And like, oh my gosh, like, it goes on and So I get that.
00:40:51.000 It's like a 45-minute thing in King County, right?
00:40:57.000 So I sort of get that.
00:40:58.000 But for the big stuff, it takes like five minutes, right?
00:41:01.000 Now you should vote all the way through.
00:41:03.000 But I fail to have any sympathy whatsoever for people that have any excuse not to fill out a ballot.
00:41:10.000 They always win. 1.00
00:41:11.000 You're a loser, okay? 1.00
00:41:14.000 How about you act as if victory is possible? 1.00
00:41:16.000 That attitude, you're right, they will win.
00:41:18.000 So I wouldn't treat it very kindly, to be honest, because I think that attitude is so self-destructive. 0.50
00:41:23.000 It is a loser, anti-American approach to problems.
00:41:26.000 The greatest generation did not believe like, well, you know, go into D-Day, you know, look, the Nazis, they're undefeated so far. 0.92
00:41:34.000 Like, this is not.
00:41:36.000 And you might say, Charlie, how dare you compare the King County Democrats to the Nazis?
00:41:40.000 Totally intentional, by the way. 0.97
00:41:41.000 So how about a little bit of faith, a little bit of hope, and just like making excuses all the time is ridiculous.
00:41:51.000 Second part, look, I talk about this a lot.
00:41:54.000 If you guys, a little shameless plug, if you would take out your phone and subscribe to my podcast, you can hear about this a lot.
00:41:59.000 I'd love a chance to earn, to be a daily news source for you.
00:42:02.000 We work our tail off, and I think we do a pretty good job.
00:42:05.000 So thank you guys for considering that.
00:42:07.000 I mean that.
00:42:08.000 Thank you.
00:42:11.000 Any pastor that says, you know, I don't do politics, they should resign from the ministry.
00:42:16.000 And here's why.
00:42:17.000 It's that these are not political issues, they're biblical issues.
00:42:19.000 Okay, I just had Mark Driscoll on my podcast.
00:42:21.000 He did a great job talking about this.
00:42:22.000 It went totally viral.
00:42:24.000 And I got to tell you that if you look at any question, right, how should government be formed?
00:42:30.000 What is a human being?
00:42:31.000 Separation of powers.
00:42:32.000 These are biblical questions.
00:42:33.000 The founding fathers cited Deuteronomy more than any other book, secular or religious, when they were founding our country.
00:42:40.000 So I'm just curious that when they say, I only do the gospel, if that's the case, why did Jesus quote Leviticus and Deuteronomy so often?
00:42:47.000 But by the way, the gospel speaks directly to the times of today.
00:42:50.000 So ask that pastor next time.
00:42:52.000 Hey, hey, what did Jesus say about going after kids?
00:42:56.000 It's better for a millstone to be hung around their neck and thrown into the ocean than go after a little one of these.
00:43:05.000 I don't do politics.
00:43:06.000 And you have to say, look, look, bro, because they're probably wearing skinny jeans and not a hostel mass in sight.
00:43:16.000 Listen, bro.
00:43:18.000 Trying to fit in with the hipsters.
00:43:20.000 Yeah, we're going to win over the Seattle hipsters by dressing like them. 0.56
00:43:23.000 All right, okay, sure.
00:43:25.000 Let's be honest.
00:43:27.000 You're in the ministry because you want to be popular and agreeable.
00:43:32.000 The standards of being in the ministry is higher.
00:43:35.000 This says all throughout the book of Jude, all throughout the New Testament.
00:43:37.000 It's alluded to in Leviticus and different, the priestly class of the Hebrews.
00:43:40.000 But being a pastor, you have different rules, different expectations.
00:43:44.000 It's okay if you're not called into the ministry.
00:43:46.000 I'm not even saying, but if you step up and you say, I am a pastor, I am a minister, at that moment, you're held to a different standard.
00:43:55.000 Totally different standard.
00:43:57.000 And if their standard is, I want to be nice, which by the way means ignorant in the original etymology of nice, just an interesting little thing.
00:44:04.000 It doesn't appear in the scriptures once.
00:44:04.000 Not a biblical word.
00:44:06.000 Nice is a totally created thing.
00:44:09.000 Then, honestly, you have to ask them, did Jesus not say that he brought truth to this world?
00:44:15.000 Like, when was the last time you talked about the truth?
00:44:17.000 If you don't think the Bible is a lens to view all of our current events happening in real time, well, then I got news for you.
00:44:25.000 You're not equipped to be a minister at this time.
00:44:27.000 And so that's how I would talk to them.
00:44:29.000 Good luck.
00:44:33.000 Hello.
00:44:34.000 Hi.
00:44:37.000 Charlie.
00:44:38.000 Where am I at?
00:44:39.000 Over here.
00:44:40.000 Oh, wow.
00:44:41.000 Okay.
00:44:41.000 Misdirection pleasure.
00:44:44.000 I think that maybe I'm speaking for some in the room that have been a bit demoralized about watching the Uniparty happening within the Congress, the Rhino Republicans and the Communist Democrats seeming to join forces. 0.92
00:44:58.000 And we had the House, and it seems like we've squandered away some potential gains.
00:45:06.000 And so how can we, as a party, do better?
00:45:10.000 Yeah, so I come from Illinois, so I have sympathy on both sides of this because Illinois is very similar to Washington.
00:45:16.000 Here's my rule, is that obviously vote your district, vote how you said you were going to vote with your voters.
00:45:20.000 My biggest complaint, though, is when people who represent very conservative districts or very conservative states don't vote in alignment with their voters.
00:45:28.000 That's where my criticism goes.
00:45:29.000 If you're in a swing district in the suburbs of Seattle, I actually have a lot of flex in the joints for you.
00:45:33.000 I do.
00:45:34.000 I get it.
00:45:34.000 Not an easy job.
00:45:35.000 You have to navigate that stuff, right?
00:45:38.000 And I mean, on a state and a federal level.
00:45:40.000 So I look at North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma.
00:45:44.000 Are we being honest when we say that those senators are as conservative as their voters?
00:45:48.000 Not even close, right?
00:45:49.000 That's a problem.
00:45:51.000 And I think that creates a lot of frustration and anger.
00:45:53.000 Look, there is a Una party in D.C., though, that exists.
00:45:56.000 And the Uniparty, they think everything's generally okay.
00:46:01.000 They don't see the cult.
00:46:03.000 They don't want to talk about the cultural issues.
00:46:05.000 They don't want to talk about security.
00:46:07.000 They'll dance on the edges of security in the southern border.
00:46:09.000 And so I'll be very honest.
00:46:10.000 Like, we should have pulled all funding from the Department of Justice the first time they even whispered about indicting Donald Trump.
00:46:15.000 We said, you're done.
00:46:16.000 You're not getting any more taxpayer money.
00:46:17.000 You're completely defunded.
00:46:19.000 And people say, well, Charlie, that's really radical.
00:46:22.000 No, them indicting Donald Trump is radical.
00:46:25.000 This is rational.
00:46:26.000 Okay?
00:46:27.000 Using the purse to say stop is the role of Congress.
00:46:31.000 And I could editorialize this, but the problem is less about Congress.
00:46:36.000 And this is why we need a president where the number one mandate is, and I don't mean to be overly academic, the bureaucracies are against all of you.
00:46:43.000 And it is deeper and worse than you could ever imagine.
00:46:46.000 You can call it the deep state, the shadow government, the Leviathan, but this is a permanent, multi-million person standing army for the Democrat Party and for their aims, wants, and ambitions against all of your value system.
00:47:01.000 And it doesn't need to be reformed.
00:47:03.000 It needs to be just abolished and smashed.
00:47:05.000 And what's happened is Congress is not nearly as powerful as the bureaucracies are, unless Congress started to threaten not funding them.
00:47:14.000 And that's my biggest complaint, is that they're debating like, well, we don't want to shut down the government coming in.
00:47:21.000 It's like, I've got to be honest, like, you better shut down the government.
00:47:25.000 We have a southern border where 6 million people are invading, and we spent $200 billion in Ukraine. 0.88
00:47:31.000 Like, we have a DOJ that is putting the number one political dissident who is a former president facing 600 years in prison, and we're funding the FBI and the DOJ with every one of their wish list items.
00:47:43.000 Like, we're giving the FBI a new building.
00:47:46.000 Do you know this?
00:47:47.000 We're giving the FBI a new corporate headquarters of tens of billions of dollars.
00:47:51.000 And so, forget impeachment or arrests.
00:47:53.000 I would love to see all that.
00:47:54.000 They can't do that. 0.81
00:47:55.000 They can't do arrests.
00:47:55.000 They can do impeachment.
00:47:56.000 They shouldn't beat Joe Biden, but they probably won't, unfortunately.
00:47:58.000 And that's just such a disappointment.
00:48:00.000 Just focus on the funding, okay?
00:48:02.000 By the way, the Democrats do this all the time.
00:48:04.000 They hold our funding hostage, and we don't play by their same rules.
00:48:08.000 And here's why.
00:48:09.000 Most Republicans in the Republican Party, unfortunately, in D.C., play by this fake gentleman rules.
00:48:16.000 And it's disappointing.
00:48:17.000 There are some really good ones out there.
00:48:18.000 The Speaker of the House is a great step in the right direction.
00:48:21.000 He is better than Paul Ryan.
00:48:22.000 But let's not lie to ourselves.
00:48:24.000 This is way disconnected from the fighting force that we need from the Republican Party to represent you against the beast that is Washington, D.C. Thank you.
00:48:33.000 Next question.
00:48:35.000 Charlie, thank you so much.
00:48:37.000 Sean Needham.
00:48:38.000 And early on in your presentation, you talked about the left is good at destroying beautiful things.
00:48:44.000 My wife and I are both pharmacists, and we would like to know what your answer is to fix health care, considering the left has hijacked health care.
00:48:53.000 Yeah, so that's a deeper and longer answer than I think we have time.
00:48:57.000 I know you've composed a whole book on it, and I look forward to going through it.
00:49:01.000 The way we do healthcare in this country is wrong.
00:49:03.000 It's really sick care to the food we eat, to how we treat our bodies, to how we talk about this.
00:49:10.000 I have a lot of hope.
00:49:11.000 I think there is this revival in America happening, and you can see it on YouTube, honestly, of young people that are caring about longevity and nutrition and intermittent fasting and cold plunges and saunas.
00:49:23.000 And you might laugh at that.
00:49:24.000 It's actually super interesting about how there's more Americans than ever looking at their blood work and their vitamin D levels and increasing testosterone.
00:49:32.000 And there's a doctor, Peter Attia, who's like the number one best-selling author of the last 30 days, who has a book all about how you could take better control of your life.
00:49:40.000 And so how do we reclaim health care?
00:49:43.000 First, forget politically. 0.94
00:49:44.000 We have to eat better.
00:49:46.000 We have to be healthier.
00:49:48.000 We have to be better versions of ourselves, right?
00:49:50.000 And that's not a message that always audiences want to hear, right?
00:49:54.000 But it's true because health outputs can be changed based on small decisions we make of foods we stop eating or foods we'd start eating.
00:50:02.000 And so that's number one.
00:50:04.000 I think it's really empowering, honestly.
00:50:06.000 And I wish our government would have said, hey, get your vitamin D levels checked.
00:50:10.000 And if it's not above 50, supplement it.
00:50:12.000 Instead of take an mRNA gene-altering shot that we haven't even tested that is quote unquote safe and effective. 0.95
00:50:18.000 If we would have done a national vitamin D campaign, that would have been far more effective than the stupid vaccine that they were forcing down people's throats in the midst of COVID. 0.94
00:50:28.000 And so I don't mean to belabor too much. 0.97
00:50:32.000 Our healthcare system is super broken.
00:50:33.000 We are going very soon.
00:50:34.000 We're going to have a nationalized health care system.
00:50:37.000 It's coming.
00:50:38.000 It's already here in some ways.
00:50:39.000 And then we're going to have a hyper-elite, pay-for-private billionaire health care system if you can afford it.
00:50:45.000 It's all doctors, on-demand concierge, and most of you are going to be forced into the government-type health care system.
00:50:52.000 And what we learned from healthcare, in my personal opinion, is three main things.
00:50:55.000 Just because you're a doctor doesn't mean you're right.
00:50:58.000 Number two, the number one way that they're going to control the masses tyrannically is through the auspices of health care.
00:51:04.000 And number three, they do not care about science.
00:51:06.000 They care about listening to scientists they like.
00:51:10.000 Those are the three big takeaways as we now re-engage with a healthcare conversation in this country.
00:51:15.000 So thank you very much.
00:51:16.000 Appreciate it.
00:51:17.000 Next question.
00:51:18.000 We'll take, we have seven minutes left.
00:51:20.000 We have two questions over here.
00:51:22.000 A first question.
00:51:23.000 What would you recommend for young conservative men in college who are berated for simply just being men?
00:51:28.000 Okay.
00:51:29.000 And then second question, me and my friends here, we attend university in the Seattle area, which is tough sometimes.
00:51:35.000 But I'm just wondering, what are some recommendations you have for us to be politically active as Republicans in a really liberal area?
00:51:44.000 Give it up for them.
00:51:44.000 Is that not great?
00:51:50.000 I'm telling you.
00:51:51.000 The men are rising in a big way.
00:51:53.000 It's going to be a beast they can't control, and it scares them.
00:51:57.000 You want to see these New York Times reporters shiver like a leaf?
00:52:00.000 It's all of a sudden the rise of TOS toxic masculinity.
00:52:04.000 By the way, these are the men reporters that are shivering like a leaf.
00:52:08.000 Okay, get involved with Turning Point USA.
00:52:11.000 Would love to have you guys start a chapter, come to our events, and equip you.
00:52:15.000 But I will say this.
00:52:16.000 So what you can do, you're not going to win majority of the people over as friends, but you have to own being different.
00:52:24.000 You have to own being in the minority, but use it as an opportunity to metaphorically strengthen your political muscles while you're in an ideological minority.
00:52:35.000 You're going to have to debate everybody, and you're going to become really talented because you're going to know every one of their arguments.
00:52:42.000 This is why we're going to eventually beat the liberals.
00:52:45.000 I think we actually do have, eventually truth is going to win.
00:52:48.000 Because our young people are master class debaters.
00:52:53.000 They know what they believe and why they believe it because they constantly have to justify their position.
00:52:57.000 The other side does not because it's just fed to them and it's normal and it's acceptable.
00:53:02.000 And so that's number one.
00:53:03.000 And so just the second thing is become a lifelong learner.
00:53:08.000 This is something that I try to do.
00:53:09.000 I read two hours a day.
00:53:10.000 I read 70 books a year.
00:53:12.000 I love learning.
00:53:13.000 I think that God built an intelligible world because he loves us and that we can find out about the world.
00:53:20.000 I think learning is one of the coolest things we get to do as human beings.
00:53:24.000 And I'm afraid that we as conservatives are losing, have lost this kind of quest for learning.
00:53:29.000 I'm starting to see it come back in a really big way.
00:53:32.000 You say, Charlie, what does that mean?
00:53:33.000 Just read old books and texts and commentaries and listen to podcasts that challenge you.
00:53:38.000 Let me broaden this for the whole audience.
00:53:39.000 Can I give a recommendation, guys?
00:53:42.000 Stop watching empty calorie white noise cable TV.
00:53:47.000 Stop it.
00:53:49.000 You're like, what does that mean?
00:53:50.000 If you're just watching five or six minute segments of Trump versus Biden or this, listen to podcasts and videos that dive deep.
00:53:58.000 There is a bigger game at play here, everybody, than just Trump versus Biden.
00:54:02.000 You'll find yourself all of a sudden being happier about the news because somebody spent an hour and a half into one subject.
00:54:08.000 We try to do this in our podcast.
00:54:10.000 What I'm getting at is that is much more fulfilling than just kind of the...
00:54:14.000 It's really interesting.
00:54:15.000 I know this is a sidebar, but if you are watching your news with your eye, you're being manipulated.
00:54:24.000 This is why Rush Limbaugh was so powerful.
00:54:28.000 Because it was through the ear.
00:54:30.000 The Old Testament actually talks about this, the Shemak, which is in Deuteronomy.
00:54:34.000 Hear me, O Israel.
00:54:35.000 Time and time again, it's the power of the ear over the eye.
00:54:39.000 I recommend for you to consume more news audibly than visually.
00:54:45.000 If the best way is actually to read the news, actually on a piece of paper, if you trust it.
00:54:49.000 Second best, though, is through podcasting or radio.
00:54:52.000 And that is why Rush Limbaugh had an attachment with his audience more than any other person in media of the last hundred years.
00:54:58.000 You think about it.
00:55:00.000 It's because I think the ear is far more effective in reaching widespread audiences.
00:55:04.000 So listen to podcasts, do that, become a lifelong learner.
00:55:06.000 And finally, enjoy being a rebel because it's fun.
00:55:10.000 You're going to be called names.
00:55:12.000 You're going to be canceled. 0.96
00:55:13.000 You're going to be called racist and transphobic. 0.99
00:55:16.000 These are degenerate, awful people that are trying to get in the way of truth. 0.96
00:55:20.000 Smile, be a happy warrior, prove them wrong, and own it.
00:55:24.000 Honored to have you in the fight, guys.
00:55:25.000 Thank you.
00:55:27.000 Okay, last question.
00:55:28.000 This will be the final question.
00:55:30.000 Where are we at?
00:55:32.000 What is your favorite newspaper?
00:55:34.000 I personally like Epoch Times and it's full of great.
00:55:38.000 So, my favorite website, I used to love Drudge before they went communist, right?
00:55:41.000 Oh my gosh, what happened to them?
00:55:43.000 I love citizenfreepress.com.
00:55:45.000 Is anyone familiar with that website?
00:55:47.000 They are so good.
00:55:48.000 And I happen to be biased.
00:55:50.000 I know the owner really well.
00:55:51.000 And we have them on the show all the time.
00:55:52.000 It's called citizenfreepress.com.
00:55:55.000 It's the new Drudge Report.
00:55:56.000 And he's updating it all the time.
00:55:58.000 It's an aggregator of articles.
00:55:59.000 I love aggregation because I get to pick, and it's really great.
00:56:03.000 The other thing, I actually got my news from Telegram.
00:56:05.000 Does anyone else get your news from Telegram?
00:56:07.000 That's the real Patriots.
00:56:09.000 The real Patriots are Telegram Patriots, right?
00:56:12.000 And you're like, what is Telegram?
00:56:14.000 It's fun.
00:56:14.000 You download the app, you can message your friends, and you can get the news, that any sort of filter and bias.
00:56:19.000 And the government hates Telegram.
00:56:21.000 So, but anyway, those are my things.
00:56:23.000 All right, let me close with this, guys.
00:56:24.000 Yes, the odds are stacked against you here in Washington.
00:56:27.000 So what?
00:56:29.000 You have a choice.
00:56:30.000 You can complain and go home and do nothing.
00:56:33.000 Or you can say, I still live in a beautiful country.
00:56:36.000 I live in a beautiful state.
00:56:37.000 We are going to harvest ballots.
00:56:39.000 We are going to become precinct committee men.
00:56:40.000 We're going to stay engaged.
00:56:41.000 We're going to stay active.
00:56:42.000 And you still might get your teeth kicked in here or there.
00:56:45.000 But the greatest threat to tyranny is a restless, truth-seeking, liberty-loving, patriotic remnant.
00:56:52.000 And that is you.
00:56:53.000 You're never going to give up.
00:56:54.000 You're not going to surrender.
00:56:55.000 You're going to educate your kids the way you can.
00:56:57.000 You're going to help the freedom fighters on campuses.
00:57:00.000 You're going to call out tyranny.
00:57:01.000 You're going to file lawsuits.
00:57:02.000 You're going to show up to events like this.
00:57:03.000 And you are going to be relentless and restless.
00:57:06.000 Because I believe firmly that these bad guys, I think they're going to break into a million pieces eventually.
00:57:12.000 They are overreaching. 0.94
00:57:13.000 These are evil people.
00:57:14.000 Evil does not have a permanent monopoly when good people stand up against it.
00:57:18.000 I don't know when it's going to happen.
00:57:19.000 I don't know how it's going to happen.
00:57:21.000 But I believe that somehow, some way, because of the faithful works of you and because of a loving God, we're going to defeat these woke degenerates and we're going to have a lot of fun while doing it.
00:57:30.000 God bless you and God bless Washington.
00:57:31.000 Thank you.
