00:01:14.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:05:33.000I 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.
00:05:42.000But number two, go read their stories and understand what kind of men they were.
00:05:47.000They weren't the kind of Christians that you think they were, that you've made them out to be.
00:05:53.000The fact is, no one, whether you are 30 years old or 90 years old, wants to hear that from a political leader.
00:06:03.000You don't want to hear that church attendance is down?
00:06:05.000You're right, actually, Michael Steele.
00:06:07.000They were far more serious Christians than most of our own politicians are.
00:06:12.000True 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.
00:06:30.000Now, Michael Steele continues to say that people don't want to hear politics in church.
00:06:34.000He continues, and then Joe Scarborough cites Russell Moore, of all people.
00:06:39.000Yeah, we should take our advice from Russell Moore.
00:06:44.000Is it true that church attendance is going down because people don't want to hear about politics in church?
00:06:49.000There's two different realities happening right now in American Christianity.
00:06:54.000One 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.
00:07:02.000Like Rob McCoy and Steve Smotherman, Pastor Juergen.
00:07:07.000I travel to these churches and it's unbelievable because they take strong biblical stands against a depraved culture.
00:07:13.000And 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.
00:07:37.000Jeremiah 29, 7, seek the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:07:44.000One example, my pastor, Rob McCoy's church increased four to five times during COVID when he spoke out against COVID mandates.
00:07:50.000People want answers from their pastor.
00:09:07.000So 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.
00:09:59.000Can they fill the rooms that we fill up at Turning Point USA?
00:10:03.000When we go to UCLA, we nearly had every single chair filled, and that is with ridiculous totalitarian suppression of the UCLA Gestapo there.
00:10:12.000When 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.
00:10:20.0002,600 seats, and we're afraid it's not going to be big enough.
00:10:23.000No, Joe, you want to reach young people, you speak the truth.
00:10:25.000You speak the truth politically, culturally, theologically, and spiritually.
00:10:29.000You don't water it down and go to the middle.
00:10:32.000No, young people want the truth because they are swimming in an ocean of lies.
00:10:40.000Exciting news to share about saving babies by providing ultrasounds.
00:10:43.000Right now, there is a dollar-for-dollar match, doubling the number of babies you'll save with pre-born.
00:10:47.000There are babies alive today about to celebrate their first Christmas because of what we did together a year ago at this time providing ultrasounds.
00:10:54.000And right now, you can save twice as many babies.
00:10:57.000Maybe you're already wondering about end of the year giving and want to give every dollar, get the most results.
00:11:01.000Or maybe you just want to know that a girl making this decision deserves the truth.
00:11:04.000So that next year at this time, she's picking out a Christmas stocking for her baby's first Christmas.
00:11:43.000And I figured it out over a period of time.
00:11:47.000You 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.
00:12:00.000I want any one of you to send me a major motion picture where a pastor is framed positively, not Mark Wahlberg's recent one.
00:12:10.000Any recent major picture where the Christian is the good guy, not a hypocrite, not double, none of that stuff.
00:12:20.000And if there is, great, I would happily add it to the list.
00:12:23.000I 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.
00:15:52.000It's about being naked and gay in public, or just naked.
00:15:55.000It's public nudity, which, of course, obviously goes for the standard operating procedure in San Francisco.
00:16:01.000So he's, you know, there's all about like, oh, my goodness, Tennessee is the worst.
00:16:05.000Hey, Gavin, you just welcomed Xi Ji Ping.
00:16:09.000You just made out with him, basically.
00:16:11.000You 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.
00:18:49.000For 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.
00:19:11.000So 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?
00:20:28.000If 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?
00:20:43.000And then you put that teacher on notice or watch.
00:20:45.000You're like, wow, that's a lot of work.
00:21:00.000Is 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?
00:21:14.000Where it's like, okay, I'm going to bring them cookies the first day of every quarter.
00:21:17.000Or try to win over these teachers, and maybe they'll lay off on some of the radicalism stuff.
00:21:23.000Especially in local rural districts, this approach can work, right?
00:21:28.000Where they see, okay, here's both sides of it.
00:21:32.000All you're asking for is a de-radicalized curriculum.
00:21:34.000But 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.
00:21:44.000Look 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.
00:21:59.000Okay, Charlie, I want to talk about, I have one comment for you about the Sunshine thing, and then I have a question for you.
00:22:05.000But last night it was kind of disturbing the way you presented it last night with the Sunshine thing because you actually used percentages.
00:22:13.000And so I took that on today, and I went and did the math.
00:22:18.000And it's okay if you're part of the 97%, but the 3% in Washington state is 234,000 people.
00:22:26.000So we can take back the state with 234,000 people.
00:22:29.000And for the rest of you, there's a whole bunch of candidates, including myself, that are running, and you could write checks.
00:22:34.000Not just to Mike Lindell, but to our campaign.
00:22:37.000So, 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.
00:22:50.000And we've been living through that, like you were just talking about.
00:22:53.000So, in the sort of the color revolution.
00:22:55.000So, what do you see happening over the next year, two, three?
00:22:59.000You think climate change is going to be in there?
00:24:23.000And she, out of nowhere, signed a declaration of emergency over the weather.
00:24:31.000And you should laugh, but then let's also think of what actually, that's a COVID-style power grab because of the weather.
00:24:40.000118 degrees, she's like, it's the hottest it's ever been.
00:24:43.000Now 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?
00:24:50.000It's like the law of diminishing return, right?
00:24:52.000You're kind of like, it's indecipherable, right?
00:24:54.000It's not exactly a, we're all kind of walking through the park when it's 113.
00:25:47.000And 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.
00:26:25.000You can read Molly Hemingway's book, Rigged, goes through it in great detail.
00:26:30.000So, 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.
00:26:40.000And we're angry about that, and you should be.
00:26:43.000The 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.
00:26:54.000The 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.
00:27:07.000I'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.
00:27:18.000I actually think Donald Trump means business in a very way that we've never seen before in Trump's second term.
00:27:24.000And 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.
00:28:56.000Look, 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?
00:29:03.000If anything, I think it actually wins over sympathetic, open-minded people that are like, okay, now this is getting completely out of control.
00:29:09.000Like, 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?
00:29:20.000But there's another component of this.
00:29:22.000We do not know what the 2024 election is going to look like.
00:29:25.000No labels might be on the ballot, which is going to draw a lot of Democrat votes away in Arizona and Georgia.
00:29:31.000Cornell West might be on the ballot, who could draw a lot of black voters away in Georgia and Wisconsin.
00:29:36.000We 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.
00:29:51.000The only thing we know is it's going to be a mess.
00:29:55.000And 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.
00:31:08.000It was a 99% chance Hillary Clinton's going to win.
00:31:11.000And this guy, weeks after the Billy Bush tape, who said something awfully colorful, comes out and wins Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
00:31:22.000Guys, we're talking about elections that are on razor of razor thin margins.
00:31:25.000Reject this narrative from the media that's like, oh, it's all done.
00:31:31.000It's totally in our hands to make an impact.
00:31:33.000So anyway, that's a long answer, but I think that's helpful.
00:31:35.000I know you guys wanted to hear about the election.
00:31:37.000The other part I will say about this before we get to the next question is the Democrats believe that candidates do not matter.
00:31:43.000Republicans believe candidates matter too much.
00:31:46.000And John Fetterman's an example of that.
00:31:48.000John Fetterman is a brain-dead idiot who should not be a United States Senator.
00:31:54.000Running 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?
00:32:10.000And you have the biggest contrast you can imagine, John Fetterman, who cannot string two sentences together, right?
00:35:02.000Honestly, I'm open-minded to everything right now.
00:35:05.000But I don't think that's actually the most important question.
00:35:07.000The 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.
00:35:34.000And it was awfully convenient, wasn't it, that it came in an election year and all that, but coincidences.
00:35:38.000Second thing, climate change, if they actually believe that the left doesn't believe anything they say.
00:35:42.000This is the one cool thing about being a conservative.
00:35:44.000You 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.
00:37:07.000I don't know how persuasive it is, but it's true.
00:37:09.000But it also goes to show it can, by the way, it's the same thing with the COVID thing, right?
00:37:14.000If 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?
00:37:23.000So they're simultaneously saying, stay at home, stay at home.
00:37:27.000But 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.
00:37:37.000It's like the most anti-racist virus in the history of the Western world.
00:37:41.000It's like the virus does not infect you if you just say George Floyd.
00:37:44.000It like exercises the virus away from you.
00:37:48.000America's colleges and universities today are less concerned with critical thinking than with indoctrination.
00:37:54.000It is no wonder why so many young Americans embrace cancel culture, deny free speech to conservatives, and even celebrate terrorism.
00:38:00.000But 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.
00:38:12.000As 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.
00:38:24.000And this mission continues to guide Hillsdale College today.
00:38:27.000You can learn more at my favorite college's website, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:38:31.000There 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.
00:38:44.000Take some time to watch today at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:43:57.000And 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.
00:44:04.000It doesn't appear in the scriptures once.
00:44:44.000I 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.
00:44:58.000And we had the House, and it seems like we've squandered away some potential gains.
00:45:06.000And so how can we, as a party, do better?
00:45:10.000Yeah, so I come from Illinois, so I have sympathy on both sides of this because Illinois is very similar to Washington.
00:45:16.000Here's my rule, is that obviously vote your district, vote how you said you were going to vote with your voters.
00:45:20.000My biggest complaint, though, is when people who represent very conservative districts or very conservative states don't vote in alignment with their voters.
00:46:27.000Using the purse to say stop is the role of Congress.
00:46:31.000And I could editorialize this, but the problem is less about Congress.
00:46:36.000And 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.
00:46:43.000And it is deeper and worse than you could ever imagine.
00:46:46.000You 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.
00:47:03.000It needs to be just abolished and smashed.
00:47:05.000And what's happened is Congress is not nearly as powerful as the bureaucracies are, unless Congress started to threaten not funding them.
00:47:14.000And that's my biggest complaint, is that they're debating like, well, we don't want to shut down the government coming in.
00:47:21.000It's like, I've got to be honest, like, you better shut down the government.
00:47:25.000We have a southern border where 6 million people are invading, and we spent $200 billion in Ukraine.
00:47:31.000Like, 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.
00:47:43.000Like, we're giving the FBI a new building.
00:48:24.000This 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.
00:48:38.000And early on in your presentation, you talked about the left is good at destroying beautiful things.
00:48:44.000My 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.
00:48:53.000Yeah, so that's a deeper and longer answer than I think we have time.
00:48:57.000I know you've composed a whole book on it, and I look forward to going through it.
00:49:01.000The way we do healthcare in this country is wrong.
00:49:03.000It's really sick care to the food we eat, to how we treat our bodies, to how we talk about this.
00:49:11.000I 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.
00:49:24.000It'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.
00:49:32.000And 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.
00:50:06.000And I wish our government would have said, hey, get your vitamin D levels checked.
00:50:10.000And if it's not above 50, supplement it.
00:50:12.000Instead of take an mRNA gene-altering shot that we haven't even tested that is quote unquote safe and effective.
00:50:18.000If 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.
00:50:28.000And so I don't mean to belabor too much.
00:50:32.000Our healthcare system is super broken.
00:52:16.000So what you can do, you're not going to win majority of the people over as friends, but you have to own being different.
00:52:24.000You 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.
00:52:35.000You'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.
00:52:42.000This is why we're going to eventually beat the liberals.
00:52:45.000I think we actually do have, eventually truth is going to win.
00:52:48.000Because our young people are master class debaters.
00:52:53.000They know what they believe and why they believe it because they constantly have to justify their position.
00:52:57.000The other side does not because it's just fed to them and it's normal and it's acceptable.
00:57:14.000Evil does not have a permanent monopoly when good people stand up against it.
00:57:18.000I don't know when it's going to happen.
00:57:19.000I don't know how it's going to happen.
00:57:21.000But 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.
00:57:30.000God bless you and God bless Washington.
